Jesus Rebukes Peter for His Impetuosity
Jesus Rebukes Peter for His Impetuosity
Respect life on each level of development;
each form of life is on its path of evolution towards perfection (1-5). The one who lives
in Me is a witness in this world (6-7). Those who pave the way for Christ from the old
sinful world to the New Era (8). Christ is crucified again and again in the fight between
light and darkness (9-10). In the turn of time, the all-embracing light becomes visible;
the darkness wants to extinguish it (11). In the turn of time, the divine wisdom builds
the original communities through which Christ, the light of the world, radiates towards
all peoples - The Covenant Community New Jerusalem is the priestess (12-14)
1. And on the morrow, as they were coming from Bethany, Peter was hungry and spotted from afar a fig tree with leaves. In happy expectation, he ran to it, hoping to find fruit. But he found nothing except leaves, for the time of figs was not due for a long time.
2. And Peter became angry and said, "Accursed tree, nevermore shall man eat fruit from you!” And some of the disciples heard this.
3. And the next day, as Jesus and his disciples were passing by, Peter said to Jesus, "Master, behold, the fig tree which I cursed is green and flourishing. Why did my word not come true?”
4. Jesus said to Peter, "You do not know of what spirit you are. Why did you curse what God has not cursed?” And Peter said, "Behold, Lord, I was hungry, and finding leaves and no fruit, I became angry and cursed the tree.”
5. And Jesus said, "Son of Jonas, did you not know
that the time of figs had not yet come? See the grain on the field; it grows according to
its nature - first the green shoot, then the stalk
and then the ear - would you also be angry if you
came at the time of the tender shoots or stalks and did not find any grain in the ear? And
would you curse the tree which, full of buds and blossoms, did not yet bear ripe fruit?
(Chap. 70:1-5)
I, Christ, explain, correct
and deepen the word:
The fig tree is a parable for the evolution of life. All forms of life bear the life, which is evolution, in themselves - including soul and person. Each soul will again attain full maturity through Me, the Christ. Yet all souls and all men will mature differently - according to their level of consciousness and their thinking, speaking and acting. Therefore, respect life, no matter how far it has unfolded. For God, the life, is on all levels of development and leads the soul to perfection.
Each curse which passes the lips of a person or which is in his thoughts will be his doom. This is what the impetuous Peter, too, had to experience. He had to recognize that though he had much knowledge, he had but little wisdom.
The wise one knows the ways of the soul. If in these moments Peter had been filled with the wisdom of God, he would have known about the law of the inner maturing of the forms of life, the path of evolution, which I pointed out to the apostles and disciples in many parables.
Few who wanted to follow Me understood the meaning of My explanations, for the majority of them were still far too much concerned with themselves and with their old habits. Therefore, they remained in error, as they heard the word alone and could not grasp the meaning of My explanations.
6. Verily, Peter, I say to you, one of My twelve will deny Me thrice in his fear and anger with curses, and will swear that he does not know Me, and the rest will forsake Me for some time.
7. But you will repent and grieve bitterly; for you love
Me in your hearts, and you shall be as an altar of twelve hewn stones and a witness to My
name, and you shall be the servants of the servants, and I will give you the keys of the
community, and you shall tend My sheep and My lambs, and you shall be My representatives
on earth. (Chap. 70:6-7)
I, Christ, explain, correct
and deepen the word:
My words were meant not only for the apostles and disciples and for the people of
Israel of that time. My word was and is the word of the Father. From generation to
generation, it is meant for all peoples of this earth and for all souls in the spheres of
purification.
The altar of God shall be formed by those men and women whose life rests in Me, the Christ. The one who lives in Me will be a witness for Christ in this world. In My name, he will be a guide to the members of the communities who live in Me. In Me, he will be a key which opens more and more hearts for Me, the Christ.
Those who live in Me and through whom I live shall be the servants of all. Through them, I show the members of My communities, My sheep and lambs, the way to the eternal pastures of Inner Life.
The time ripens. As the maturity of people and of the earth progresses, more and more sheep will find the one Shepherd - Me, the Christ, who dwells in all souls and men.
8. But there will arise men amongst those who will
succeed you, of whom some will indeed love Me just as you do and, being hot-headed and
unwise and impatient, will curse those whom God has not cursed and, in their ignorance,
will persecute them, because they cannot yet find in them the fruits they seek. (Chap.
70:8)
I, Christ, explain, correct
and deepen the word:
All men and souls are fruits on the tree of life. Each fruit gradually ripens towards Me, the Christ. When the fruit has reached its full ripeness, I carry it to the eternal Father who receives it and leaves it eternally where it has its place in the Kingdom of God.
However, it often takes several earthly lives until a fruit has attained its inner ripeness. This is why many souls came and come into the earthly existence again and again. They slip into the earthly body and out again upon physical death, until they have reached the maturity which liberates them from the wheel of reincarnation.
Not until the soul in man matures can man selflessly pass on the gifts of Inner Life to those people who thirst for them, so that they, too, may attain inner maturity.
Therefore, according to the law of eternal life, only a person who has become the truth to a great extent can pass on the gospel of love and carry it into all countries. Then he can touch many hearts, because he gives from the eternal truth.
Recognize that since My earthly existence as Jesus of Nazareth, the New Era, the era of Christ, has been growing to maturity from generation to generation - through the apostles, the disciples and all righteous prophets and enlightened ones. Again and again, from generation to generation, souls came which let their fruits of Inner Life continue to ripen in the earthly existence. Through teaching and serving, they also shared the actualization which they brought along to earth. Upon their physical death, they laid aside their earthly garment. They came back into a new earthly garment in another generation and brought along the inner maturity, the light of Christ, and gave of it to those who seriously strove to take the steps of inner maturity.
Many who came and come back bear within a mostly ripe fruit, the life in Me, the Christ. It is they who now prepare the way for Me from the old sinful world to the New Era which blossoms in Me, the Christ.
Recognize that only the one who has little maturity of the soul curses his fellow man. The one who still lives in sin cannot recognize the ripe fruits in his fellow man, because he looks only at his own shadows and is therefore of the opinion that his neighbours should be as he is, rich in shadows.
9. And others who love themselves will ally with the kings and rulers of the world and will seek earthly power, riches and domination, and they will put to death by fire and sword those who seek the truth and are therefore truly My disciples.
10. And in those days I, Jesus, will be crucified anew
and openly mocked, for they will profess to do all this in My name.” And Peter
said, "Be it far from You, Lord.” (Chap. 70:9-10)
I, Christ, explain, correct
and deepen the word:
The fight between light and darkness will last until the gates to incarnation are closed for the heavily burdened souls. This fight between light and darkness also takes place in this great turn of time [1989]. The demonic forces summon everything once again and mobilize all those servile to them, whether souls or men, in order to extinguish the light which is growing stronger and stronger on earth.
It is similar today [1989] as in the time when I, in Jesus, walked over this earth. Those who love themselves and cling to their earthly belongings ally with the rulers of this world and with the ecclesiastic authorities, in order to eliminate with earthly power those who have devoted themselves to Me, the Christ, and who carry My gospel of love into the world. For those who carry forth the gospel of love and of life not only with words, but with selfless love, and who become active through My power are a threat to the selfish one.
In earlier centuries, the power-hungry, the rulers, the ecclesiastic authorities and those servile to them set out in My name with fire and sword to bring the gospel of love to the people of other countries. Thus, they did to their neighbours what was in themselves: cruelty and murder.
In the present time [1989], the same ones - only in different earthly bodies - move from place to place again with slanderous talk. Through the media of the present generation, they spread their untruth among the people, in order to again act in this way against those who now mark the start of the turn of time and are helping My light to break through. Thus, from generation to generation, I Am crucified anew by those who call on My name and take it in vain for their purposes.
The pioneers for the New Era, for the era of the Christ, are the Christ-friends all over the world. He or she who abides in Me is My disciple in the present and the future.
11. And Jesus answered, "Just as I will be nailed to
the cross, so will My community in those days, too; for she is My bride and one with Me.
But the day will come when the darkness will retreat and the true light will shine. (Chap.
70:11)
I, Christ, explain, correct
and deepen the word:
The first original communities were destroyed by the darkness. However, it was only the outer establishments that it was able to destroy. The life in Me was propagated from generation to generation. For the many souls which became ever more light-filled came into earthly bodies again and again and, visibly and invisibly, put into practice what they had brought along. They began to found small original communities and taught the law of truth. In this way, more and more people found their way to Me, the Christ, who dwells in all souls and people.
In the present turn of time [1989], the all-embracing light becomes visible. The Covenant Community New Jerusalem came into being and is expanding more and more - as do the other original communities in Universal Life. It is the Covenant Community for the Kingdom of Peace of Jesus Christ. She is My bride and I Am her bridegroom. More and more members of the Covenant Community New Jerusalem fulfil My will, the will of the Eternal.
The wolves continue to prowl, even around the Covenant Community New Jerusalem and, in My name, they spread untruth about the members of the community. And I Am crucified again, since My name is taken in vain. With My name, Christ, they want to extinguish the light of the world, that is, Me.
But the darkness will yield, for its days are numbered. The earth opens up and devours the night, and the waters come and flood what is dark. Then the light, which I Am, will shine upon the whole earth: Christ.
12. And one will sit on My throne, who will be a man of truth and goodness and power, and he will be filled with love and wisdom beyond all others, and he will guide My community through fourfold twelve and seventy-two as of old. He will teach only what is true.
13. And My community will be filled with light and will give light to all peoples of the earth; and a high priest will sit on the throne as king and priest.
14. And My Spirit will be in him and his throne will
endure and will not be shaken; for it will be founded on love, truth and justice, and
light will come to it and radiate from it to all the peoples of the earth, and the truth
will set them free.” (Chap. 70:12-14)
I, Christ, explain, correct
and deepen the word:
The statement "And one will sit on My throne, who will be a man of truth and goodness and power, and he will be filled with love and wisdom beyond all others, and he will guide My community through fourfold twelve and seventy-two as of old. He will teach only what is true. And My community will be filled with light and will give light to all peoples of the earth; and a high priest will sit on the throne as a king and a priest” has the following meaning:
The words are coded. What the turn of time will bring is stated in a coded manner.
These coded words mean that the divine wisdom will sit on My throne until I return in spirit. For I have placed the throne in this world for My coming. I Am the light of the world. The divine wisdom, called by the Father and Me, the Christ, to be in charge of My Work of Redemption and to prepare My coming, is the truth, goodness and power. The divine wisdom, created from the love of the Father, will build up the original communities in the turn of time and fill them with life and power. She will teach the whole truth and give to all people what they are able to grasp.
The numbers are symbols and were given as signs to those who could read from numbers. But the people of the New Era receive My word which is also the word of the eternal Father.
The light of the truth fills the Covenant Community New Jerusalem and its original communities with strength and power to do selfless deeds in My Spirit. The original communities in My Spirit in the Work of Redemption of Jesus Christ, in Universal Life, will provide all peoples on earth with light and power for the New Era.
The Covenant Community New Jerusalem is, in Me, the instrument of life for this earth. It reigns in Me and will gradually bring all nations together into o n e people in Me, the Christ. The Covenant Community New Jerusalem, joined with the divine wisdom, is the priestess who gives light, love and life to all people who come to her. She, the priestess, will be in Me, the Christ, and I will be active through her and through further original communities which are in Me. They all are founded on love, truth and wisdom, on the justice of God.
The light of the world which I Am will radiate through the communities which are
in Me, and I will radiate to all peoples of the earth through them. The truth will set
more and more people free; they will then form o n e flock, which is in Me, the
Christ. The one flock refers to the original communities in Me, Christ, which build
themselves up by way of the Covenant Community New Jerusalem in the Work of Redemption of
Universal Life. I will be their Shepherd.
