   The Birth of Jesus Christ


CHAPTER 4

The Birth of Jesus Christ

The people of Israel have failed - The reign of Christ in the Kingdom of Peace is being prepared by the incarnated sons and daughters of God from the tribe of David (5). The "visions of angels” of the shepherds were inner processes (6-9). Acknowledgement of the earthly laws as long asthey do not oppose the divine laws (12)

 

1. The birth of Jesus, the Christ, took place in this way: In those days it happened that Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census of the whole world should be taken. Everyone in Syria went to his hometown to be registered; it was midwinter.

2. And Joseph with Mary also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth into the land of Judea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem - because he was of the house and lineage of David - in order to be registered with Mary, his betrothed, who was great with child.

3. While they were there, the time came for her to deliver. And she gave birth to her first Son in a cave and wrapped Him in swaddling clothes and laid Him in a manger which was in the cave, because there was no room for them in the inn. And behold, the cave was filled with light and radiated like the sun in its splendour.

4. And in the cave there were an ox, a horse, a donkey and a sheep, and beside the manger lay a cat with her little ones; and there were also doves over them, and each animal had its mate, a male or a female.

5. Thus, it came to pass that He was born in the midst of the animals. For He came to free them, too, from their suffering. He came to liberate men from their ignorance and selfishness and to reveal to them that they are sons and daughters of God. (Chap. 4:1-5)

 

I, Christ, explain, correct
and deepen the word:

As Jesus, I revealed the Kingdom of God and lived and taught His laws. With the sons and daughters of Israel from the tribe of David, and with all the sons and daughters of God who fulfil the will of the Eternal, I wanted to found and build up the Kingdom of God in Israel and, after My return into the glory of My Father, to come again in the spirit and continue to expand it with the people of Israel and to rule over the Kingdom of Peace, which will reach its highest point on the fine matter. But the sons and daughters of God and of Israel were blinded by sin.

Throughout the centuries following My deed of redemption, God, the Eternal, repeatedly called the sons and daughters from the lineage of David and from other lineages, who fulfil His will, so that they would recognize what their mission is.

Now [1989] a new era has dawned: It is the turn of time from the old world to the new world, the world of Christ. I am preparing for My coming in the spirit - again through the sons and daughters from the tribe of David and other sons and daughters of the Eternal from other lineages who are fulfilling the will of God. Through the incarnate divine wisdom, I instruct them as well as all those who follow Me, so that they may become conscious sons and daughters of God who fulfil the will of God.

What is revealed will then be carried out: I will come in the spirit. Then all people will live in peace, and the animals, too, will be freed from their slavery and suffering through Me, the Christ of God. For the one who places his life in the son- and daughtership of God will not kill - neither men nor animals.

 

6. And in the same area, there were shepherds in the field, watching over their flock by night. And behold, the angel of God appeared to them, and the glory of the Highest shone around them, and they were much afraid.

7. And the angel said to them, "Fear not, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which will come to all people; for unto you is born this day, in the city of David, the Saviour, who is Christ, the holy One of God. And this shall be a sign for you: You will find the infant wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.

8. And suddenly there was a multitude of the heavenly host with the angel, praising God and saying, "Glory to God in the highest, and peace on earth to all who are of good will.

9. And as the angels ascended into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, "Let us go now to Bethlehem and see what has happened, which our God has made known to us. (Chap. 4:6-9)

 

I, Christ, explain, correct
and deepen the word:

The angel spoke to the shepherds. However, they did not see him with human eyes and did not hear him with human ears. Nor did they see or hear with human eyes and ears the heavenly host, praising and glorifying God. Some of the shepherds perceived the light in their inner being, while others heard the praise of God in their hearts. For that which does not wear the garment of the flesh does not have the word of the flesh nor the sound of the word. The word of God and that of the beings of God are perceived in the innermost being of a person.

The angel of the Lord did not stand before them like a human being. They were standing by the fire warming themselves. They saw how the pillar of fire leapt up. And in the fire they thought they saw the figure of an angel, which some of them perceived in their hearts. The shepherds were not of one mind about what they saw and heard. Those, however, who felt the meaning of the tidings in their hearts set off for Bethlehem.

Just like in those days, the angels of God are announcing today, too: Prepare the way for the Lord. Christ, the Redeemer, is coming in the spirit - and He will be the Shepherd of one flock, which is the people of God on earth. He will reign over them in His kingdom on earth, and they will be with Him in the spirit, because they keep the laws of God.

 

10. And they came in haste and found Mary and Joseph in the cave and the child lying in the manger. And when they had seen them, they spread the words which were told them concerning the child.

11. And all those who heard this wondered at what the shepherds had told them. But Mary kept all this and treasured it in her heart. And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen.

12. And when the eight days were over and the child was circumcised, He was named Jesus-Maria, as was said by the angel before He was conceived in the womb. And when, according to the law of Moses, the days of her purification were over, they brought the child to Jerusalem, to present Him to God. (As it is written in the law of Moses, that all that is male which opens the mother's womb shall be consecrated to the Lord.) (Chap. 4:10-12)

 

I, Christ, explain, correct
and deepen the word:

Circumcision is the law of the Jews. Since it does not oppose to the eternal law, this earthly law is tolerated by God - exclusively for human beings. When a being from God becomes man by way of incarnation, then the human being is subject to the laws of nature and has to abide by the worldly laws, as long as these do not oppose the laws of God.

 

13. And behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon, and he was just and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel; and the Holy Spirit fell upon him. And it was revealed to him that he should not see death before he had seen the Christ of God.

14. And, inspired by the Spirit, he came into the temple. And when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do as prescribed by the law, he perceived the child as if He were a pillar of light. Then he took Him in his arms, praised God and said:

15. "Now You let Your servant depart in peace, according to Your word. For my eyes have seen Your Saviour, whom You have prepared to be a light before the face of all peoples, to enlighten the Gentiles and for the glory of Your people Israel. And His parents marvelled at all that was spoken of Him.

16. And Simeon blessed them and said to Mary, His mother, "Behold, this child is set for the fall and rise of many in Israel and for a sign which will be spoken against (and verily a sword shall pierce through your own soul, too), so that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.

17. And there was Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Aser, who was advanced in years and never left the temple, but served God with fasting and praying night and day.

18. And coming in at this hour, she praised the Lord and spoke of Him to all those who were waiting for redemption in Jerusalem. And when they had accomplished all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their hometown Nazareth. (Chap. 4:13-18)
