Jakob Lorber – The Great Gospel of John, vol. 5, part B
has really and undoubtedly experienced oneself becomes positively
unbelievable.
[GGJ.05_155,10] But what use is all this if one cannot see the reason for it?
Yes, highest ruler, at these events, which without a doubt occur thus, all
natural explanations end! For that is truly a miracle! This can just as little ever
be naturally explained as the creation of the world from some original nothing
for our comprehension and perceptions. The whole creation is therefore
nothing other than a fixed will of the divine original power and the original
being of all beings.‖
Chapter 156
[GGJ.05_156,01] Cyrenius now says again, ―Very well, I have now been
quite satisfied with you for the moment, and we have thus to remain with that;
but there is now another question, and this consists in this: Since these
works here are now unmistakably quite certainly the very purest miracles and
Moses and the many other seers and prophets have written about this man
exactly in advance and have described him in such a very detailed way that it
is not possible to accept that they could ever have had another opinion, it
seems to me that their respective earlier actions might still be of a miraculous
nature! That some natural things were used also, cannot be denied; but on
the whole most of it was certainly a greatest miracle, likewise like this miracle
here, only through the all-powerful will of God through the people revealed
Himself, was performed. That is my opinion – what is yours then?‖
[GGJ.05_156,02] The Pharisee says, ―Well yes, if things are of that kind, then
as far as I know there is not much that can be said against this high opinion
of yours; only one thing is hard to understand: why would then God – if there
is one – always allow humanity to deteriorate to such an extent over a period
of time before once more awakening a seer or a prophet who has to restore
some sight to benighted mankind before himself falling victim to the uncontrolled
passions of degenerate men. God grants the prophet indeed unmistakable
miraculous powers, which I no longer can doubt; but in the end the prophet
usually nonetheless suffers the raw physical strength of people. Almost all
prophets known to me were put to a violent earthly death in the end. Why did
the all-powerful spirit of God not protect them?
[GGJ.05_156,03] But I do not want to make an accusation against the
Godhead and say: It was not clever to let a person filled by the spirit of God
pass away earthly through the raw, most material power of man! But his
awakening was a much compromised one thereby in the face of the ever
selfish humanity. For it is obviously highly strange to see how a person, who
previously was capable of moving whole mountains through his pure will, is in
a short time bound by man, thrown into a prison and a few days or weeks
