Jakob Lorber – The Great Gospel of John, vol. 5, part B<br />
as that you believe in your hearts that I am the One who from God through<br />
the mouth of the prophets was promised firstly to the Jews and through them<br />
to all the people of the Earth.<br />
[GGJ.05_271,05] If you believe that very actively and observe My teaching in<br />
deed and My easy commandments, you will also take in My spirit and<br />
through the same do even greater things than what I have just done before<br />
you; for if you are children of one and the same Father in heaven, you are<br />
also heirs of His perfection, to which you have been called. You can then<br />
also act and so as these disciples of Mine now do and can act, when it is<br />
necessary. If you now know this, then you can also speak before Me without<br />
fear and shyness like these disciples of Mine.<br />
[GGJ.05_271,06] For if such a thing was never possible, I would have<br />
certainly had no disciples with Me, who should also be as perfect as the<br />
Father in heaven is perfect and in Me; for as a servant I certainly do not need<br />
any person, since I Myself can serve all people and I do at all times. But if I<br />
wanted to have beings who served Me, then I would only have to desire, and<br />
in an instant countless hosts of the most powerful angels would be at My<br />
disposal and would obey My signals. But from that you can draw the very<br />
non-deceptive conclusion that I only have taken disciples to Me so that they<br />
should learn everything from Me that I can do Myself, and that I have come to<br />
you for quite the same reason. Tell Me now whether you still do not dare to<br />
speak before Me now!‖<br />
Chapter 272<br />
[GGJ.05_272,01] The far neighbor said, ―Oh Lord, we now trust ourselves to<br />
speak if we only knew what about! But in addition comes the fact, easily<br />
understandable in itself, that we all are now much too full of thoughts about<br />
what we have heard, seen and learnt today. But if I may ask something<br />
simply for myself, then that would be that You would tell us all or simply me<br />
alone what will happen to me one day after the certain death of this body.<br />
[GGJ.05_272,02] Will the pure soul keep its consciousness, or will it only<br />
awake again to consciousness after the resurrection of the flesh announced<br />
by the prophets? On the day of judgment this general resurrection should<br />
happen; but when this day will come, is to the highest degree undetermined.<br />
At this moment of horror, the just are supposed to then receive their eternal<br />
reward before God in heaven and the sinners their eternal punishment in hell.<br />
[GGJ.05_272,03] Well, those are truly teachings that my mind and also my<br />
reason can never fully become friends with! How is that in truth to be<br />
understood, or will that happen literally?<br />
