and the fire obey most subserviently, and no human power can ever
contradict him.
[GGJ.05_166,05] But we Pharisees are done and will soon have nothing
more to do than to lie down in our graves and then pass away like an animal!
What should we do with all our old stuff for deception, when such present
truths begin to topple the mountains upon us from all sides? We will be
chased and persecuted like the beasts of the forest and will be destroyed in
the slime of our night and darkness! It came thus, and we can do nothing
about the fact that night and day constantly replace one another. As the day
consumes the night, likewise the night then consumes the day, and soon
after a long night only a very short and cold day follows – and soon again
vice versa. The summer follows the winter, and then the winter follows again;
everything on the dear Earth is subject to constant change. Whoever laughs
today can grieve, cry and moan tomorrow!
[GGJ.05_166,06] That is how things go and it will never be otherwise on this
Earth. If a man has had for a long time something magnificent, good and
eminent, in the end it will be as indifferent to him as one can ever be about
something that one has always had in abundance. But if one finally loses the
long-possessed property, only then one knows what one had, and learns to
appreciate its value.
[GGJ.05_166,07] We people are foolish and still do not understand how and
why everything happens and exists, and therefore we are never fully satisfied
with anything, not with good things – and even less with the bad things! The
grave seems to me a true harbor of happiness; in it nothing changes any
longer, and its inhabitants do not feel any need any longer and so the comfort
remains for us worms of the Earth after all the thousand losses that also we
will become soon very satisfied inhabitants of the grave, and those who pass
our graves will say: Here they are resting in peace!
[GGJ.05_166,08] Yes, as I see, feel and believe, here there is a great light
never seen before, but likewise the great night, which follows such a light, will
not stay away! Happy are they who on this day will be able to bathe in the
sun; but all the more woe to those who will be overtaken by the night
following this day! They will raise a great cry for light, they will wake the
spirits of night with it and be badly treated. I have now spoken, and your
rulers have of course the right to sentence me according to your will!‖
[GGJ.05_166,09] Cyrenius says, ―I have found nothing in your speech that
could be brought before a judge. The fact that you spoke for all your house is
a very understandable thing; but here you came, even if with some effort,
nonetheless to a better conviction and stopped being an enemy and
persecutor of Him whom you would willingly have destroyed previously. And I
did not want anything more from you and your companions, and thus you
