CHAPTER 49

The True Temple of God

About the destruction of the temple (1-3).
Every person is a temple of God, a temple of the Holy Spirit (4). The meaning of outer forms (5-7). Bloodshed and blood sacrifice (8-10). Only the one who strives for a life in God every day recognizes Christ and understands the language of the law (11-12)

1. The Passover feast was near. And it came to pass that some of the disciples who were masons repaired the chambers of the temple. Jesus came by, and they said to Him, "Master, do You see these great buildings and what manner of stones are here and how beautiful the work of our forefathers is?”

2. And Jesus said, "Yes, it is beautiful, and the stones are well fitted, but the time will come when not one stone will remain upon another; for the enemy will conquer the city and the temple.

3. But the true temple is the body of man, in which God dwells by the Spirit. And when this temple is destroyed, God will build an even more beautiful temple in three days, which the eye of the normal man cannot recognize. (Chap. 49:1-3)

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

I Am the Christ of God, the Son of the eternal Father, who, through Isaiah and other righteous men and women, was announced by the eternal and just God. I came into this world as Jesus of Nazareth, not to break things but to erect them, not to pay off what has not been cleared up, but to lead all out of sin and to lead them to the One who has sent Me, to the eternal Father. For all spirit beings, souls and men are His children. My name is inscribed in all souls, and all will accept and receive Me, the Christ, because I Am their Redeemer and their redemption. The heathens, too, will accept and receive Me; for no one comes to the Father but through Me, Christ, His Son.

All earthly things will pass away, even the work of the forefathers. For that which is matter, that is, coarse-material, does not last permanently, but only until the primordial substance of the earth returns into the eternal Being which is pure and fine-material.

From generation to generation, the enemy of the good lays his hand upon the constructions of man and destroys what man treasures as good and of value. This will happen until the enemy becomes a friend of the good. Then the transformation to the finer and higher life can happen according to the laws of God.

The true temple is the temple of flesh and bone, the body of the human being in whose soul and in whose cells the Spirit of God dwells.

"And when this temple is destroyed, God will build an even more beautiful temple in three days, which the eye of a normal man cannot recognize” means that when the soul is separated from the body, that is, when death visits the earthly body, then the light-filled soul will overcome its still existing ties to the earth - the attraction to the earth - within three days. It will then go through the veils which separate the planes of consciousness from one another, because the soul has already discarded these veils while in the earthly garment. According to its level of consciousness, it will then dwell where it is guided to, and from where it is attracted. In these three days, during which the light-filled soul cuts its still existing ties to the earth, its spiritual garment also changes accordingly, in colour and form.

4. Do you not know that you are the temple of the Holy Spirit and that the one who destroys one of these temples shall be destroyed himself?” (Chap. 49:4)

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

Every human being is a temple of God, for the Spirit of God dwells in every soul and in each cell of the earthly body.

Therefore, the one who disrespects his neighbour, the temple of God, disrespects his own temple, too - and thereby God. For as a person behaves towards his neighbour, he also behaves towards God. Every lack of respect towards one's neighbour, that is, towards a temple of God, is a sin against the Holy Spirit.

The one who kills his neighbour thereby destroys a temple of God. Then the soul of the one who was killed no longer has the possibility, in its earthly body, to expiate, or maybe to accomplish, that which was assigned to it in this earthly existence.

The one who kills his neighbour, the temple of God, or has him killed, will experience the same or something similar. The fears, the grief, the terror and death will come over him, too. In his hour of death, he will have no peace, for he will be confronted by the soul of the one whose earthly body he killed and which has not yet forgiven him. Then on his soul body he will experience what his neighbour, whom he killed or had killed, had to suffer.

I repeat: Every human being is a temple of the Holy Spirit. And every person is commanded to keep his own temple pure and to respect the temple of his neighbour. The one who keeps this commandment will neither suffer nor will his temple be destroyed by sickness, need or violence.

5. And some of the scribes who heard Him tried to set a trap for Him with His words, saying, "If you reject the sacrifice of sheep and cattle and of birds, then for what purpose was this temple built by Solomon for God, which is in the process of being restored now for forty-six years?”

6. And Jesus answered, saying, "It is written in the prophets: For all peoples, My house shall be a house of prayer for the offering of praise and thanks. But you have made a slaughterhouse out of it and have filled it with abominations.

7. And furthermore it is written: From the rising of the sun to its setting, My name shall be great among the heathens, and incense with a pure offering shall be offered to Me. But you have made of it a place of desolation with your offerings of blood, and you use the sweet incense just to cover up the ill smell of blood. I Am not come to destroy the law, but to fulfil it. (Chap. 49:5-7)

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

As long as the person himself has not yet become the temple of the Inner Life - into which he enters in order to dedicate his thinking and acting to the great All-One and to offer Him thanks for his earthly life - he needs outer forms. In mighty buildings, which he calls temples or churches, he offers sacrifices in keeping with outer customs. In former times, there were animal sacrifices; in the present time [1989], there are rituals and ceremonies, meaningless singing and processions. In today's generation [1989], too, such outer, and in part still heathen, customs have not yet been done away with and are still carried out "in the name of the Lord”. All this is an abomination before the eternal Father and Me, the Christ.

The eternal God, the God of Isaac and Jacob, wants neither magnificent churches nor temples. He wants His children to be the temples of the Holy Spirit, that they cleanse and keep themselves pure, and sacrifice their sinful thoughts and actions to Him. They should come together in a house of prayer that is open to all people for prayer, not to just a few who have declared their solidarity with the keepers of a teaching which is no longer My teaching.

The one who teaches the truth and lives accordingly need not hide anything. Only the one closes the doors of his churches and temples who spreads his own teaching and not the eternal truth which is open for all; for the law, the truth itself, is in every soul, and the soul shall find its way to the truth in order to be the eternal law once more as a spirit being.

May the one who has ears to hear, hear!

May the one who has eyes to see, see!

The one who practises righteousness recognizes the darkling who adorns himself with My name, Christ, in order to deceive people and to lead them astray. The one who has learned to perceive recognizes where the truth flows. He will profess the truth and will be with those who strive to live in accordance with the truth.

My name will remain great among the peoples; for from generation to generation, there will be more and more righteous men and women who will crush the head of the treacherous serpent which calls itself Christian. That which is given from the Spirit is the truth and will remain; all that is heathen will pass away.

Then, when another sun shines, I, the Christ of God, will be consciously raised; that is, I, the I Am, will have become the consciousness of men and will be the ruler of the Kingdom of God on earth. Then there will be neither heathens nor rituals. All people are then united in selfless love, and their lives are consecrated, because they fulfil the laws of the Eternal.

The word "incense” means the consecrated life of the people who align themselves with God, the Eternal. Man should dedicate his earthly life, his human sensations, thoughts, words and deeds to God. Then he will live in God with a pure heart.

8. Do you not know what is written? Obedience is better than sacrifice, and to hearken is better than the fat of rams. I, the Lord, am weary of your burnt sacrifices and your vain offerings, for your hands are full of blood.

9. And is it not written: What is the true sacrifice? Wash and cleanse yourselves and remove the evil from before My eyes; stop doing evil and learn to do good. Do justice for the fatherless and the widows and to all those who are oppressed. And in this way, you will fulfil the law.

10. The day will come when everything that is in the outer court and is part of the blood sacrifices will be taken away, and the pure worshippers will worship the Eternal in purity and in truth.” (Chap. 49:8-10)

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

As long as the souls of people are impure, their hands, too, are stained with blood. The evil, that is, the sinfulness, that a person has sown into his soul is his causes and thus also his deeds which mark him. As he has sown, so will he behave in his earthly life, and likewise, as soul in the spheres of purification after the death of his body: The blood-thirsty one remains blood-thirsty and seeks revenge and wants to continue to shed the blood of his neighbour. All those who want revenge are the quarrelsome who stop at nothing, not even the life of their neighbour. In their madness, they even consider the shedding of the blood of others to be honourable, and do not hesitate to offer animals, too, as burnt sacrifices to the Eternal. Every blood sacrifice is satanic and is a desecration of the life from God. Through such revengeful darklings, the darkness wants to ridicule God.

God, the Eternal, wants man to sacrifice his carnal base ego and to worship Him, the Eternal, in his heart through the thoughts, words and deeds of selfless love.

The words, "in the outer court” mean, among other things, the externalization of man and all that he has brought about through his outer life, including what is a part of the blood sacrifices. For all the outer courts, which symbolize the world, will dissolve, as there will be but one people: the people of the Christ of God.

The day is near when all that is carnal and passionate will be taken away; for that which has been promised is gradually taking on form and shape: The earth will purify itself, and life on the earth will renew itself, and the Kingdom of God will come to the earth, to the children of God who are of pure heart.

11. And they replied, "Who are you who want to do away with the sacrifices and despise the seed of Abraham? Have you learned this blasphemy from the Greeks and the Egyptians?”

12. And Jesus said, "Before Abraham was, I Am.” And they refused to listen, and some said, "He is possessed by a demon.” And others said, "He is mad.” And they went their way and told everything to the priests and elders. And these became enraged and said, "He has blasphemed God.” (Chap. 49:11-12)

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

The one who looks solely at the outer world and speaks its language and lives in the world does not know the eternal law or the language of the law. The one who does not recognize Me does not recognize the Father either, who has sent Me to the people. The one who does not recognize Me does not understand My language either, the law, which I Am. So it was at all times and so it is also in today's time [1989]: Only the one who strives to return to the righteous life, to God, each day, understands the language of the eternal law.

Only the one who still has something demonic in himself calls his neighbour demonic. So, all those who led an outer life could not understand Me, the Christ in Jesus, and therefore were of the opinion that My speech was demonic. Yet, I Am the I Am in God, My Father, the One who was first-beheld and firstborn of Him. Before Abraham, I was perceived in Him. I Am in God and omnipresent in the four nature powers of God. Thus, I Am a part of the heritage of all the children of God, who are from eternity to eternity.
