Jakob Lorber – The Great Gospel of John, vol. 5, part B<br />
heathens who have fallen away from us, but on the other hand the Essenes,<br />
who will soon have the people for themselves – and now the Galilean on top<br />
of it all! Surely that is finally a bit too much!<br />
[GGJ.05_148,04] On Sinai, by thunder and lightning, Jehovah gave us laws<br />
through Moses and Aaron, sanctioned them and, truly, created an eternal<br />
union with us and obliged us most strictly to remain true to this covenant. He,<br />
the Almighty, promised us the greatest advantages in life if we remain faithful<br />
to the covenant and the Law, but also the greatest disadvantages if we<br />
casually break the covenant. However he also gave us the right to pursue our<br />
opponents with fire and sword, as Joshua in Jericho and later the great King<br />
David did with the Philistines, where even the children in their mothers‘ womb<br />
were not to be spared according to Jehovah‘s order.<br />
[GGJ.05_148,05] But if now Jehovah wanted to annul the old covenant<br />
against His promises and reiterations, perhaps because of our sins and our<br />
tepidness and tolerance of our opponents and fully abandon us now, He<br />
would certainly do it in an easily possible grandiose way for Him, in which<br />
way He established the covenant with us about a thousand years ago, so<br />
that everyone would know certainly and undoubtedly what He is doing! But<br />
that has by no means happened here now; how then can a magician,<br />
whatever extraordinary things he performs, ever begin to agitate against us in<br />
the most shameful way as an ever existent statute of God?!<br />
[GGJ.05_148,06] He may heal the sick as often as he wants, and should<br />
move mountains to amuse the people and perform other great things; but<br />
against the temple and its holy secrets he should not wage war! But he does<br />
such things more and more, undermines the faith and the trust of the people,<br />
now particularly amongst the Galileans, towards the temple, so that they<br />
often no longer want to pay us the tithes and on top of that they call us the<br />
greatest and finest deceivers of the people and the nation. If we are that,<br />
then Jehovah should accuse us through the mouth of a proper prophet, not<br />
through a Galilean magician, who pretends to be one of the greatest<br />
prophets, yes, even the son of the Highest, since it is written that a prophet<br />
can never arise from Galilee, which is too filled with heathens, and all the<br />
less a son of God coming from heaven!<br />
[GGJ.05_148,07] But if we, firstly through God‘s Law and secondly through<br />
the most obvious pressure of circumstances, are forced to persecute a<br />
person who is highly dangerous to the old matter of God and wherever<br />
possible get rid of him with our own hands with all the divine rights and to<br />
remove him from the Earth, do we then do wrong if we unfortunately have to<br />
make use of some political means in these days in order to destroy the<br />
extremely dangerous subject?! I believe that you will no longer have any<br />
doubt of the full truth of this well-founded open admission of ours!‖<br />
