The Calling of Matthew - New Wine in Old Skins

CHAPTER 16

The Calling of Matthew - New Wine in Old Skins

The possibility of reincarnation and expiation is limited

1. And then He went on and saw a tax collector, named Levi, sitting at the receipt of taxes. And He said to him, "Follow me.” And he left everything, stood up and followed Him. (Chap. 16:1)

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

The so-called Levi, too, followed Me, Jesus, only after he had settled everything in his family and at his place of work and had taken care of his neighbours, whom he left only externally, in order to serve the truth.

2. And Levi prepared a great feast for Him in his house. There was a great company of tax collectors and others, who sat at the table with Him. But the scribes and pharisees grumbled and said to His disciples, "Why do you eat and drink with publicans and sinners?”

3. And Jesus answered and said to them, "Healthy people do not need a physician, but the sick ones do. I did not come to call the righteous to repentance, but the sinners.”

4. And they said to Him, "Why do the disciples of John fast so often and pray so much, and likewise the disciples of the pharisees; but Your disciples eat and drink?”

5. And He said to them, "With what shall I compare the men of this generation, and what are they like? Are they not like children, sitting in the market place, calling to one another, saying: We have piped before you and you have not danced, we have mourned before you, and you have not lamented?

6. For John the Baptist came, and he neither ate nor drank, and you said: He is possessed by the devil. The Son of Man comes, and He eats and drinks the fruits of the earth and the milk of the flocks and the fruit of the vine and you say: Behold, what a glutton and drunkard, a friend of publicans and sinners.

7. Can you allow the wedding guests to fast, while the bridegroom is with them? But the days will come, when the bridegroom will be taken away from them. Then they will fast in those days.” (Chap. 16:2-7)

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

The bridegroom is the Christ of God in Jesus. And the bridegroom will leave them. The one who does not keep Him in his heart will not fulfil the works of love either. He will have to fast on the day of horror which will come upon mankind; for the earth, which is purifying itself from human wheelings and dealings, will no longer give bread to those who have contributed to the dissolution of the atmospheric layers and the contamination of the earth and its waters.

8. And He spoke this parable to them, "No one patches a piece of new cloth on an old garment. For then the new does not suit the old, and the garment is made worse by so doing.

9. And no one puts new wine into old skins; for the new wine will split the skins and be spilled, and the skins will be damaged. But new wine should be put into new skins; thus, both are preserved.

10. And there is no one who, having drunk old wine, immediately desires new wine. For he says, the old is better. But the time will come when the new will have become old, and then the new will be desired. For as one changes old garments for new ones, so do they also change the dead body for the living body, and what is past for what is coming.” (Chap. 16:8-10)

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

As long as the sinful world exists and souls live in the wheel of reincarnation, the incarnation of earth-bound souls will still be possible. They lay aside their old garments, the old bodies, and slip once more into new garments, into new-born bodies. However, they repeatedly bring with them into the new garment the sins which they did not clear up in previous incarnations nor in the spheres of purification. A soul cannot enter higher and more light-filled spheres until it has settled - through repenting, forgiving, asking for forgiveness and through clearing things up - what it has inflicted upon itself.

When, in the course of the turn of time - which extends over great periods of time - a soul has not cleared up in the earthly garment what it has inflicted upon itself, it will no longer be able to incarnate after that. It will then have to endure as a soul, in the spheres of the souls, what it could have cleared up, possibly in years, while in the earthly garment. For it will no longer be assigned a new body, because the light will then dwell on the earth and, for the time being, the shadows will no longer have access there.
