Joseph and Mary Prepare a Feast for Jesus -
Andrew and Peter Find Jesus

To the people of the New Era: Do not forget the deed of redemption of Jesus (2). Characterization of the followers of Jesus of Nazareth -
The giving of names in human terms and the radiation name of the soul (10)

1. The same day, when Jesus had returned from the desert, His parents prepared a feast for Him. They gave Him the gifts which the wise men had presented Him in His infancy. And Mary said, "We have kept these gifts for You to this day.” And they gave Him the gold, the frankincense and the myrrh. And He took of the frankincense, but He gave the gold to His parents and the poor, and of the myrrh He gave to Mary, called Magdalene.

2. Now this Mary was from the city of Magdala in Galilee. And she was a great sinner, having seduced many by her beauty and charm. And she came to Jesus by night and confessed her sins to Him, and Jesus extended His hand and healed her. And He cast seven demons out of her, and said to her, "Go in peace, for your sins are forgiven.” And she rose and left everything and followed Him and served Him with her possessions, as long as He was active in Israel. (Chap. 10:1-2)

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

For better understanding, so that the eternal law may be recognized: It was Mary, called Magdalene, who spoke of the seven demons which, she said, had left her. She was of the opinion that this is what had happened. An enlightened one does not speak of such things. He helps and heals, if it is good for the soul.

This explanation is given above all to the people of the present time [1989] and of the beginning New Era, who know the laws of God.

The book "This Is My Word” is particularly significant for the people of the New Era. For they experience Christ as the ruler of the world and no longer as the Redeemer. Therefore, this book will be a historic work for them.

The people of the New Era should not forget the foundation, the redemption, upon which the Kingdom of Peace of Jesus Christ was built. The way of thinking and living, the work and suffering of the Son of God in Jesus of Nazareth, who is now the ruler of the earth and the guide of the Kingdom of God on earth, should be kept in the memory of the people of the New Era.

3. The next day John saw Jesus coming towards him and said, "Behold the lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world through righteousness. This is He of whom I spoke: He was before me. And I did not know Him; but so that He would become known in Israel, I have come to baptize with water.”

4. And John gave witness, saying, "I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it stayed on Him. And I did not know Him; but the One who sent me to baptize with water spoke to me: The One upon whom you will see the Spirit descend and stay is the One who will baptize with water and with fire and with the Spirit. And I saw it, and give witness that this was the Son of God.”

5. The day after, John stood by the Jordan with two of his disciples. And as he saw Jesus walking, he said, "Behold the Christ, the lamb of God.” And the two disciples heard him and followed Jesus.

6. Jesus turned and saw them following and said to them, "What do you seek?” But they said to Him, "Rabbi (this means, Master), where do You dwell?” He said to them, "Come and see.” They came and saw where He dwelt, and stayed with Him that day; for it was about the tenth hour.

7. One of the two who heard John and followed Jesus was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother. He found his brother Simon and said to him, "We have found the Messiah (which means, the Christ)”. And he brought him to Jesus. And when Jesus beheld him, He said, "You are Simon Bar Jona, you shall be called Kephas (this means, a rock).”

8. The following day, Jesus went to Galilee and found Philip and said to him, "Follow Me.” Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter. Philip found Nathanael, called Bar Tholmai, and said to him, "We have found Him of whom Moses, in the law, and the prophets, have written, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph and Mary.” And Nathanael said to him, "Can anything good come out of Nazareth?” Philip said to him, "Come and see.”

9. Jesus saw Nathanael coming to Him and said of him, "Behold, a true Israelite in whom is no guile.” Nathanael said to Him, "Whence do You know me?” Jesus answered and said to him, "Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you.” Nathanael answered and said to him, "Rabbi, You are the Son of God; You are the king of Israel. Yea, under the fig tree did I find You.”

10. Jesus answered and said to him, "Nathanael Bar Tholmai, do you believe because I said to you that I saw you under the fig tree? You will see greater things than these.” And He said to him, "Verily, verily, I say to you, from now on you will see heaven open and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of Man.” (Chap. 10:3-10)

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

In many cases, the meaning of what was written down in this book a long time ago corresponds to the actual events. For this reason, each statement should not be understood literally, but according to its meaning.

There was great dissension amongst those who believed in Me and followed Me - whether they are quoted by name or not. It was often questions of belief or situations in life which inflamed their temper. The one believed immediately in My mission, the other doubted it, because he was not able to understand much of what I said to him and to his neighbour. The one wanted to follow Me, the other still had worldly interests which were more important to him. Still others wanted to take all their possessions with them on their travels, in order to increase them in the right places. Their conceptions and interests were manifold and their way of thinking was as varied as the people themselves. With many there was a lengthy back and forth, and ifs and buts. The indecision was, for many, disastrous. They remained for some time - then they parted from Me again. It was a small colourful group of believers, doubters, interested ones and those who wanted to make a profit through Me, through My way of thinking and living as Jesus of Nazareth.

Those who decided with their heart and actualized My teachings stood at My right side and remained at My right side. Even today, they stand at My right side in the spirit. The righteous beheld the angels who served the Son of Man. Many of them are active for the great whole in the spirit. Some came and come repeatedly into the earthly garment - each person according to his spiritual mission - in order to prepare My coming in the great totality of the process of evolution.

Every person has a first name and a surname, which are given to him at his earthly birth. This first name and surname correspond to the vibration of the soul at the moment of incarnation. When, in the course of their earthly years, people have worked through a spiritual phase of development, the radiation of their soul also changes. Then the radiation name of the soul also changes in the cosmic process of evolution.

When, for example, something is cleared up between people - as between parents and child - then the radiation name of the soul also changes. This happens in the evolution process of the person, as well as of the soul in the spheres of purification and in the spheres of preparation, until the spirit being bears once again its original name from God, because it has once again become pure.

Thus, the radiation names of the person change according to the development of the soul. In the spheres of purification, the soul is conscious of this as it goes from one evolutionary level to another.

In many cases, rigid forms apply on earth. The person maintains his first and family names as identification, so to speak, during his entire earthly existence. According to the worldly law, this rigid form of naming remains in marriage, too. In some peoples, the wife then bears the surname of the husband, which can be of a positive or negative significance for her life. In still others, people change their names according to their own self-appointed criteria and rituals.

Many human aspects can cling to a name given at birth - such as old traditions or incidents which happened a long time before - but which still go with the name in the form of memories. For this reason, to some who wanted to follow Me, I gave names which corresponded to the radiation of their soul at that time and also to their new sphere of activity.

If the worldly law would take into consideration the evolutionary path of the soul and the person, many worldly names could be changed according to the degree of maturity of the soul. Then the danger would no longer be so great that new correspondences would develop from the memories, from what has been put aside.
