Parables of Divine Judgement


CHAPTER 68

Parables of Divine Judgement

"The Kingdom of God will be taken from you and given to another people which brings forth its fruits” (1-7). The fight against the messengers of God who also live what they teach (8-10). I came in Jesus and come as Christ (11). Inner and outer dignity - The earthly rulers will be broken on the corner-stone, Christ, who will become the copingstone (12-14). Turn back in time, before fate takes its course - Human words, terms, standards and their meaning are but guides to the truth (15-20)

 

1. And Jesus told another parable, "There was a householder who planted a vineyard and hedged it in and dug a wine-press in it and built a tower and gave it over to the care of vine-dressers and went to a far country.

2. And when the time of the ripe fruits drew near, he sent his servants to the vine-dressers to collect the fruits from them. But the vine-dressers took the servants and beat the first one and stoned the second and killed the third.

3. Once again he sent to them other servants, of higher standing than the first ones, and they did the same to them. Finally, he sent to them his son, saying, 'They will acknowledge my son.'

4. But when the vine-dressers saw the son, they said among themselves, 'This is the heir, come, let us kill him and take possession of his inheritance.' And they took him, cast him out of the vineyard and slew him.

5. Now when the master of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those vine-dressers?” They said to Him, "He will kill these wicked men in a dreadful way and will give his vineyard into the care of other vine-dressers, who will deliver the fruits to him when they are ripe.

6. Jesus said to them, "Did you not read in the scripture: The stone which the builders rejected became the copingstone of the pyramid? This is the Lord's doing and it is marvellous in our eyes.

7. Therefore I say to you: The Kingdom of God will be taken from you and given to a people which brings forth its fruits. And the one who falls on this stone will be broken, but the one on whom it falls will be ground into dust. (Chap. 68:1-7)

 

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

Many parables which I, as Jesus of Nazareth, gave to My apostles, My disciples and the people still hold true for the present time [1989].

The statement "The Kingdom of God will be taken from you and given to a people which brings forth its fruits” was and is meant for the Jews and also for the so-called "representatives of Christ”.

God is still calling today through His faithful and His prophets and through them is still admonishing today the "representatives of Christ” to bring forth the fruits of Inner Life. It is true that they wanted to spread My teaching, but it remained at that. Since they cannot show any fruits of Inner Life, but have spiritually empty hearts, they were and are driven by the lust for power and by greed, and they killed those sent by God, deriding and mocking them even today.

Now I gather from all four winds another chosen people which obeys God and brings forth its spiritual fruits; and I will accomplish with it what I revealed through many righteous prophets: the Kingdom of God on this earth.

 

8. And when the high priests and pharisees had heard these parables, they understood that He was speaking of them. But when they wanted to lay hands on Him, they feared the multitude, because the multitude took Him for a prophet.

9. The disciples asked Him afterwards about the meaning of this parable, and He said to them, "The vineyard is the world, the vine-dressers are your priests, and the servants are those who serve the good law and the prophets.

10. When the fruits of their labour are demanded of the priests, none are given. But they ill-treat the messengers who teach the truth of God, just as they have done from the beginning. (Chap. 68:8-10)

 

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

What once was is still present today [1989]. The vineyard is the world; in it the priests still believe they can ordain things. However, the time has come when the true servants and maids and true prophets are active and teach the people the life out of God, living it as an example to them so that the vines bring forth to Me, the Christ, the true fruits: themselves.

Recognize that time and again they are the same - the godless, the priests, scribes and pharisees - who condemn those men and women whom God has sent. The whole striving of the godless is to silence the truth. Yet let it be said to the one who thinks he can obliterate the truth that even the stones speak.

At all times, the godless undertook the first steps against the righteous men and women. Those who are servile to the churchmen then dance to the same tune, destroying and annihilating what opposes their craving for prestige and wealth.

People who gather into their own barns alone can show no fruits of selflessness. Therefore, through His servants and maids, through prophets and through enlightened men and women, God addresses egocentricity, selfishness, ambition for power and greed. Then, when they denounce the satan of the senses in man, he rebels and takes a position against the messengers of God.

 

11. And when the Son of Man comes, the Christ of God, Himself, they gather against the holy One and beat Him and cast Him out of the vineyard; for they have not wrought the things of the Spirit, but sought their own pleasure and gain, by rejecting the holy law. (Chap. 68:11)

 

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

I, the Christ of God, came to them in Jesus and come to them as Christ. They could have perceived and experienced Me in manifold forms; for, in the Father-Mother-God, I Am the life in all forms of life.

I also came and come to them with My holy word which is the eternal truth. Through prophets of God, I admonished and admonish them to keep the laws of God. But they listened and listen only to the insinuations of the one to whom they have sold themselves. He tempts and leads them; and thus, they were and are concerned solely with their own pleasure and gain. In this way, they have rejected the law, God, and they have continued to reject it until this very generation [1989].

 

12. Had they accepted the anointed One, who is the corner-stone and the head, things would have gone well with them, and the building would have stood just like the temple of God in which the Spirit dwells.

13. But the day will come when the law which they reject will become the headstone, seen by all; and those who stumble on it will be broken, but those who persist in disobedience will be ground to pieces.

14. For God gave dominion over the course of this world to some of the angels, charging them to rule in wisdom, justice and love. But they ignored the commandments of the Almighty and acted against the good orders of God. Thus cruelty and suffering and sorrow have come into the world, until the Master returns, takes possession of all things and calls His servants to account. (Chap. 68:12-14)

 

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

What was announced here is now taking place [1989]. The New Era will disrupt the sinful world and bring to light everything which thus far was hidden - be it in the governments of this world, among the rulers who want to maintain their power structures to subjugate the people, be it the power structures of the church institutions which take My name, Christ, in vain, in order to bind their believers to their dogmas and doctrines.

Had they accepted and received Me, Christ, people would be consciously in Me, the Christ, and each person would consciously be a temple of God. Their churches would then be houses of prayer for all people, without splendid furnishings. Yet the rulers of the church institutions have made palatial buildings out of the houses of prayer, in which they exhibit their wealth. That is where they lead their enslaved sheep to worship in outer pomp and outer splendour, which is characteristic of the mammon, the satanic.

The one who grows cold in his innermost being, who is poor, who therefore has not adorned his temple with the ornament of inner love and virtue, needs the outer extravagance of large, sumptuously decorated church buildings. He is then also eager to attain outer dignity and prestige and to shine like a dignitary in such a setting.

The one who lacks inner dignity acquires outer dignity.

The law says that the one who is poor within seeks to adorn himself in the outer. The one who is rich within bears the ornament of selfless love, virtue, kindness and humility; his eye is clear and not blinded by vain delusion.

If the rulers of all nations as well as the rulers of the church institutions had accepted and received Me, the cornerstone and the head, they would be servants of the living salvation; they would be of equal standing with their neighbour and would not be superior. The one who fancies himself to be above his neighbours will fall. Thus, all superiors will be shattered on the cornerstone which becomes the copingstone. Everything will be made manifest. This is the law of justice, which unveils everything.

God, the Eternal, has again and again called people to be selfless servants of all His children, so that all people may become selfless and unite in selfless love. God, the Eternal, has proclaimed the laws of inner salvation to them, so that they may lead an angel-like life in order to do on earth as the angels do in heaven. They only accepted these laws, but did not actualize them in their life. They abused the truth for their purposes and, in the name of the Most Holy, created a hell of vices in which many people are kept in My name. Blindly believing in the good, they contribute their money as an offering which, however, is then mostly used for selfish purposes by those responsible.

The law of God - the justice, the love and the wisdom - brings to light all this and much more. By this, those who have kept the people blind will shatter. The people should recognize their false leaders and, in their recognition, voluntarily turn back. For every man has been given free will.

Because the cornerstone is becoming the copingstone, the eyes of many will be opened, and they will recognize whom they have followed. Then many will abandon and tear down the outer pomp and wealth. In this way, the power structures which twined up around deception and outer wealth will vanish.

Since this book is a historic work, I want to repeatedly address the people in the Kingdom of God, in the Kingdom of Peace of Jesus Christ:

Recognize that in the mighty turn of time, the pioneers struggled with themselves to become free from all the humanness that still clung to them. At the same time, they fought against the power structures which emerged from the human ego. They knew that I was with them, just as I Am with you in the Kingdom of Peace. They fought against everything institutional, because they knew that God is freedom and leaves freedom to all men.

Within the Covenant Community New Jerusalem as well, a process of purification took place again and again: Either for or against Christ. Each one had the free will to remain in the Covenant Community New Jerusalem or to leave it. No one was bound to a statement or to a promise. Each one, however, has to answer for what he does to God alone, and not to people.

The pioneers for the Kingdom of Peace of Jesus Christ fought for the new world, the world of the Christ, in which only the laws of the heavens are valid. They knew that I, Christ, make all things new - and relied on this.

They knew that I will erect those temples which will accept and receive Me. These temples will be shining torches of true Christian life. They are the temples of flesh and bone in which light-filled souls will dwell, where the altar of God - on which the fire of selfless love, wisdom and goodness burns - has been raised. This is then what I Am, Christ, in My own.

 

15. And He spoke another parable, saying: "A man had two sons, and he came to the first and said, 'My son, go work today in my vineyard', and the latter answered, saying, 'I will not.' But afterwards, he repented and went. And he came to the second and said the same. And the latter answered, saying, 'I will go, father.' But he did not go. Which one of the two did the will of his father?”

16. They said to Him, "The first”. And Jesus said to them, "Verily, I say to you that the tax collectors and harlots will enter the Kingdom of God before you. For John came to you in the way of righteousness and you did not believe him; but the tax collectors and the harlots believed him, and you, when you had seen it, did not repent afterwards, so that you may believe him.

17. And the Lord gathered all His disciples around Him in a certain place. And He said to them, "Can you give perfection to what is imperfect? Can you make order out of disorder?” And they answered, "No, Lord.

18. And He placed them in a square, each according to his number, on each side one less than twelve; He did this, since He knew who would betray Him (who should be counted as one of His own, but was not).

19. The first in the seventh rank from above in the middle, and the last in the seventh rank from below, and the one who was neither the first nor the last, He made the centre of all, and He placed the rest according to a divine order, and each found his place, so that those who were above were even as those who were below, and those who were below as those who were above, and the left side was equal to the right side, and the right side to the left, according to the sum of their numbers.

20. And He said, "Do you see how you stand? I say to you, in like manner is the order in the Kingdom of God, and the One who rules everything is in your midst, and He is the centre, and with Him are the hundred twenty, the elect of Israel, and after Him come the hundred forty-four thousand, the elect of the heathens, who are their brothers. (Chap. 68:15-20)

 

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

Recognize that the one who recognizes and repents in time can also receive in time, before fate takes its course. Therefore, turn back before you enter the wheel of suffering and before what you have caused through your sensations, thoughts, words and deeds comes upon you.

The days are given to you so that you may read from the course of the day what the day wants to convey to you. If you live in the day consciously and have learned to interpret the language of the day, you will also recognize yourselves in it; and you will clear up what comes toward you as an admonition, before fate takes its course.

As Jesus of Nazareth, I spoke in many parables. Aside from this, I used numbers and measures to explain the kingdom of the Inner Life to My faithful.

The word of man has several meanings, and every person perceives only the meanings which he is capable of grasping according to his state of consciousness at the moment. Therefore, you should neither stick to words nor to meanings, nor to numbers or measures, but recognize all of these as aids, as guides which lead you to the Inner Life, to the truth, which has neither words nor terms, nor numbers nor measures, but is the power, itself, the love and the wisdom - the all-consciousness.

When the soul has found its way back to the All-Father-Consciousness, this means, when it is pure, then the person is conscious of many things and makes use of the aids only as long as he lives in the world of words, terms, numbers and measures.

Since everything is vibration, everything has a meaning. However, also the meaning of things can be understood only according to its sense; the meaning is not the truth itself - the latter is consciousness which reveals itself without words, terms, numbers or measures.
