Teaching 183
1. Keep my word, disciples, for already people of different faiths are approaching this nation, who will demand proof from you that you have received my teaching.
2. I am presently removing from you suffering and sickness, so that you may learn to comfort yourselves and show mercy to your fellow men in the same way that I am showing mercy to you.
3. My teaching will fill with delight him who receives it prepared. It will be crystal clear water on the thirsty lips, bread for the hungry, rest and peace for the weary soul, and encouragement and light for all.
4. I will enlighten this people ─ from the rulers to the most insignificant, so that they may open their arms to these groups who will come in desire for the Master.
5. Some will come to Me in contrition, others fearfully, because pain will have taken hold of them in their innermost being, and their conscience will speak and tell them that judgment has come for every soul. But for all I hold ready a new opportunity for salvation. The soul will receive the confirmation of all its abilities and when its faith awakens it will recognize through the same why I have come to men once more and how much I love them.
6. I do not come with my words of this time to erase what I said in the Second Time. Rather, I want to remind you of it because you have forgotten it, and explain it to you because you have not understood it. I reveal to you only what I did not tell you then, and which I saved for the present time, in which your soul is developed.
7. Those who wrote down my word with love, with blood and tears, obeyed their memory and their inspiration; they faithfully transmitted my will But after that others came, my word was falsified, its true meaning was lost under ideology and cult forms that are not part of my teaching. But in this time the light tears every veil to reveal the purity of my truth.
8. I teach you not to misjudge you because of my work, not to discuss unjustly. But likewise I warn you with these revelations: False teachers and prophets will appear, even in the bosom of the people of Israel.
9. Many who eat the bread at my table today will tomorrow seek only their material well-being, their lordship and praise, and you must be careful not to be misled.
10. Great is your struggle, faithful disciples, who will watch over this cause. I leave behind me one hundred and forty-four thousand prepared on whom this responsibility will rest. Among them are those who will turn their backs on me ─ those who will use my name to say: Here stands the Master before you ─ and those who have not quenched their thirst and also those who did not want to hear me at the right time. To them those who thirst for truth will turn and will be misled.
11. Practice humility and do not flatter your fellow men, and also do not allow them to flatter you. Turn away from those who, in their desire to do you good, arouse your vanity and corrupt you.
12. Do not listen to temptation. The authority I have given you is to be used for spiritual works, for works of love and mercy.
13. Never enrich yourselves with my teaching.
14. I protect you, people, I hide you from the eyes of your fellow men, so that until the year 1950 you may hear My word in peace. If you are "torn apart" because you believe in my coming in this time, I will defend you. When you are put in prison, I will open the gates, and you will be saved. I only say to you: Fulfill my law, do not get into profit-seeking and secrecy. When you are called to heal a sick person, exercise mercy and make sure that your works are spiritual.
15. In the second time, after my parting, your Heavenly Mother remained behind, strengthening and accompanying my disciples. They found, after pain and trial, protection in the loving heart of Mary. Her Word continued to nourish them, and encouraged by Her, who continued teaching them on behalf of the Divine Master, they continue on their way. And when she passed away, their struggle began, and everyone took the path that was shown to them.
In this Third Time, very close to your heart, you will have the love of Mary, who encourages and strengthens your soul in all your trials.
16. You are gradually opening your hearts to feel Me and to love Me; but I tell you Hear my instructions and know how to obey them. Love not only Me, love your fellow men. Do not judge one another unjustly. Leave every just or unjust thing to my justice, for I alone know the reason for it, and only I am entitled to judge. To those who have not fulfilled my law, I invite to enter this way. They will then soon come to me, and I will say to them: It is not a new law that I am presenting to you at this time. It is the same as that which I wrote into the conscience of the first man, and which I then made known clearly and precisely through Moses.
17. Let not the word of your fellow men guide you, unless it is based on my law, and you therefore think that you are on the way of light, which is the way of darkness. A lofty expression is not that which pleases me. I have always simply spoken to you. But if you discover truth in those words, take from them essential, ─ that which they contain in love, mercy and peace, which belongs to me, and you can then use and interpret it in the right way.
I have given you a judge who never lies, and he is in you; it is conscience. To hear his voice, you must enter into your inner being, pray and meditate; then it will speak to you with true wisdom and exaltation.
18. The world has disappointed you, and today, when you hear my word spoken through such insignificant creatures, in simple assembly rooms, you realize that you do not need to build palaces to dedicate them to spiritual worship, that you must not limit my teaching nor represent it through material images.
19. To bring this mission to the Third Age world, you were commanded to incarnate again as powerful Spirits of Light, and for the sake of these gifts of grace your fellow men have misjudged you. They have looked at your faith and your trust in me shamelessly without understanding that I have preferred no one, and that I respect and protect all.
But you, who have come to me full of contrition ─ how close I am to you, and through your repentance you are worthy to bring my gift of love and mercy to the sick, the spiritual poor. Your faith will speak and will fill those who are weakened with energies, and their soul will rise to a new life. Many "prodigal sons" will come to my breast at this time, and I will celebrate a feast for their return, and the heart of the Israelite family will soar and continue to attract hearts.
20. When you see that one of my disciples is increasing in wisdom because of his devotion to Me, do not envy him, help him even more, for through him I will work miracles, and the benefit will go to you all.
21. Envy stains the heart and makes the soul sick. It is my will that you all develop upward and have perfect fellowship with me and live in harmony.
22. Make use of your reason, so that you may understand how
much justice lies in the destiny of all creatures.
23. You do not live uselessly; even the smallest and strangest trials have a purpose, which I have determined.
24. Reflect on my law and study it. Let your
Soul come to me through prayer, so that it may be filled with my healing power when it hears my word and receives the healing balm to heal your sick bodies.
25. If you prepare yourselves, the world will take new paths. The threatening war will give way, and there will be peace. But if you do evil, this evil will resonate within yourselves. Once more I say to you: "With the cubit with which you measure, you will be measured.
26. Come and be nourished with the food of my word, and when you have eaten, do not forget the hungry and bring them food. Learn to take the essence of my word and make use of it, strengthen yourselves and share it with your brothers and sisters.
27. From your earthly world you suspect the place of peace which I have promised you. Unceasingly you ask me that I let you see the lights of that "Promised Land". But I tell you that you are not far from him, that you are on the way that leads to him, and that not much time will pass until you knock at his gates.
28. The way is my law. If you keep it, you can be sure that you will reach the Promising City, and there you will find all that I have offered you. Be brave and virtuous in this passage, be enlightened by faith, so that you may make your way of life happy and bearable.
29. You have come to know the blows of fate. Sometimes you tremble with cold when you feel the selfishness and unkindness of men, and you show me your soul stripped bare. But you are not despairing, but you are trusting because you know that I am watching over you, and that Mary, your Mother, is a star in the night you are living through, and therefore you feel encouraged.
30. In these moments of communion you silently commend to Me the heart of your afflicted children in need of peace, and I want to make you trustees of my good deeds so that you may bring them to your loved ones, to all your fellow men, so that you may learn to give, because you are my messengers and the intercessors of your neighbor.
31. When you are received by your fellow men, and they accept your gift, bless them. If they do not know how to use what I send them, bless them likewise and leave it to me to smooth and awaken their soul with infinite patience until I have changed them into burning and believing hearts. This is my will.
32. Welcome those who believe in my presence; welcome also those who doubt, for they have come, driven by their own soul; for faith will be in them also.
33. Woe unto them that in this time strive not to light their lamp, for they shall perish. Behold: Though this time is that of light, shadows still prevail everywhere.
You know by my word that I chose this nation to make myself known at my third coming; but you do not know the reason for this. The Master, who would not keep secrets from his disciples, has been a secret to you. I will reveal to you all that you need to know, that you may answer with certainty those who question you.
I have seen that the inhabitants of this corner of the earth have always sought Me and loved Me, and although their worship has not always been perfect, I have received their intention and their love like a flower of innocence, sacrifice and pain. On the altar of My Divinity, this flower full of fragrance has always been present.
You have been prepared to fulfill this great mission in this Third Time. Today you know that I have incarnated the people of Israel among you because I have revealed it to you.
You know that the seed that lives in your being and the inner light that guides you is the same as that which I sent down to the house of Jacob in the First Time.
34. Ye are of the Spirit according to Israel; ye possess spiritually the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. You are branches of that blessed tree which will give shadow and fruit to mankind.
35. This is the reason why I call you firstborn, and why I have sought you out in this time to make known to the world my third revelation in you. ─ It is my will that the "people of Israel" should rise again spiritually among mankind, so that they may recognize the true "resurrection in the flesh.
36. Yes, disciples, the soul does not die, it only flies into the hereafter, into space, when the end has come for its body. Nor does the "flesh" perish, it decays and mixes with the
elements of nature, from which I let it arise anew and equip it with soul.
37. So the flesh resurrects, so the souls incarnate appear on earth, becoming men; so I will make Israel rise anew on earth. But I will not offer him any lands in this world, nor will I divide it into tribes. On the contrary, I will make a single family out of all its members, in order to eliminate the traditional division in it. I will make marriages and families of the children of Reuben, of Judah, of Azer and Zebulun, of Naphtali or Benjamin. In this way I will make all division disappear, because it is not a seed from God.
38. Who could do these works but I? Who could be entrusted with the task of convincing the chosen people of the Lord that Canaan was not the eternal home, but only a symbol of it? ─ Only Me, since it was I who hid your soul in another race or country ─ I who told you: "You are those. But when I sent you out again, it happened so that you might finish on earth the great and difficult task that was entrusted to you from the beginning. This is your cross.
39. You also returned to wash away stains, make amends for mistakes and pay debts. You shall no longer fall into weaknesses or idolatry as in the past times, although you are the people who knew the true God and had the law. But pain has made you seek the light and peace.
Likewise, in that First Time, when there was a shortage of wheat and therefore of bread in your land, you emigrated to rich Egypt. Later, as slaves of Pharaoh, you set out, confronted the privations of the desert and sought the "land of promise" because you longed for freedom. In the present time you have defied the mockery and the wrath of your fellow men because you seek me in this form; because your soul thirsts for elevation and spiritualization.
40. You are "the prodigal son," who, whenever he returns to his father's house, finds his arms spread out to embrace him, and the table set for him to sit at the banquet table
41. You are tired from the long journey, your soul was tainted and your body weak. But surprised you saw from afar that "the gates of the city" were open and waiting for you to arrive to give you my love, my teachings and the benefit of my new coming.
42. It was not my will to reveal Me now in Canaan, which was your fatherland in times past; for it is no longer the time of Moses, nor that of Christ: it is the age of the Holy Spirit.
You hear my divine word, and indeed, I say to you: That manna of the First Time, which ignited your faith in Me, and that bread, which I handed to you at the table in the Second Time, with which I showed you the way to your redemption, are the food which I offer also in this time, so that your soul may attain eternal peace and light, and never again feel hunger.
43. Using the spiritual simplicity that you keep, I choose among you my voice-bearers, my new prophets and my disciples, as I raised patriarchs, prophets, messengers and apostles from this people in another time Today I declare my law to you by means of my teaching. I teach you how you should pray in this time, how you should serve Me and how you should live to be true brothers and sisters of men and children of God.
44. Then, when my new disciples are strong, the New Jerusalem will come down from my kingdom to the people, and on its indestructible walls will shatter the wickedness, idolatry, lies and all darkness that sprang from the human mind and heart.
45. Remember that your Father promised Jacob by means of a dream to bless all nations in his children. Know that ─ if you are from that root ─ your destiny is to draw my peace and bring it to the hearts of your fellow men.
46. People: In this time there are those who still obey the law of Moses and others who live according to the Christian era. Not everyone foresees or longs for the dawning of a new age. The reason for this is that not everyone is advancing and developing in the same way. Therefore I say to you: Learn these teachings so that you may be good workers, like a good shepherd and a good sower. Look to those who till the land: They sow in my name. When the growing season has been good and their seed has flourished, they say their prayers and give thanks to the Creator. When the weather was harsh and the seed was spoiled, they wait with anticipation for the next year to sow again with the same zeal until they have replaced and multiplied the previous seed. If you make use of this time and set out, full of hope and faith, to sow in the hearts of men, the dew of my grace will make the fields, the barren fields, fertile by my power, and your seed, sown with love and good will, will rise. I will protect your sowing, and the radiant sun of my Spirit will gild the ears of your corn, so that your harvest will be brought in under songs of praise and glory for your Lord.
47. Be aware that it is I who watch over this nation to protect it from the storms I keep them in peace, because in my high councils I have appointed them to fulfill a great mission in this time, in the human and spiritual sense.
48. Chaos will come; for as long as rulers and empires exist on earth, there will also be claims to power, enmities and wars, and there will be no peace.
49. There will be no charity among men; my law will not be obeyed. There are no true brothers and sisters, nor parents, nor children, and therefore chaos threatens mankind.
50. I only announce this to you, because out of me nothing evil can come forth. Chaos comes from the lack of inner armament of man, who did not listen to his conscience and let himself be guided by bad whispers. But you ─ are you waiting for all these trials to happen so that your hard hearts will be shaken? ─ No, my children, pray, work tirelessly even now, earn merit and renew yourselves. This is your task. "Watch" for the peace of the world, attract my blessings with your prayers and remain faithful to my law as an example for your fellow men.
51. Everyone who is ready to follow Me will share in my teachings and will be called disciples or disciples.
52. The totality of the souls that surround Me form a part of the people of Israel. On their obedience depends the resurgence of virtues in mankind. Today I have used this people as my mouthpiece to speak to men and have received from them the first fruits of their duty.
53. You are the first whom I have trained as fighters for my work ─ those who must work with enthusiasm to set the first stones of the "Great City" on solid ground. You must strengthen yourselves in faith and trust in me. I will speak to you tirelessly through my voice-bearers until the last day of 1950, and after that you will remain among mankind to give proofs of your authority.
54. I will send to you those scientists who have slaved away in their desire to penetrate into the secrets of spiritual life without reaching it. They will seek you out because they know that you are native to this nation, that you possess My revelations, and that you are "anointed" by Me. With you, they will eagerly receive My Word, and you will know intuitively how to behave towards them ─ without pride, meekly, as befits my disciples, as Peter preached, or as John spoke. In the same way you too will speak when you prepare yourselves, and when you turn upward in desire for my help, I will speak through you and will reach their hearts. In their desire to know the places and persons who ministered to Me, they will seek you out, but you shall only make known to them the essence of my teaching. Many of them will be converted and will become a part of this people through the truth of your words.
55. The way of this people has been long. Into its midst I have always sent strong, zealous spirit beings who are to point out the goal and be defenders of the law. But this people, which has been formed in three times through trials, afflictions and struggles ─ sometimes strong and sometimes weak, one time free and another time captive, sometimes without understanding and then loved and recognized, has always possessed my prerogatives.
56. I alone have brought justice to you. You received the most sublime proof of love on Calvary, but also the severity of my justice, if you so deserve it. You were destined to receive Me in the three times. Today, as in the Second Time, I have sought the humble, the disinherited, and those hungry for justice, and I have lifted up their souls and made them take the place of a disciple or an apostle.
57. You live in a time in which man develops materially, boasts of his knowledge and does not know me. He forgets his spiritual mission and despises nature, which I have placed at his service, in the sphere of experience of his mind, for the life and the refreshment of his body and the elevation of his soul. He does not recognize that which has the greatest value in him and for whose sake I have always come, which is his soul, which belongs to me. But just as the face of the earth will change, man will also recognize me. His ideals, which are still material today, will change into spiritual aims. All men have been subjected to trials, and in them the soul purifies and bends.
58. Since the year 1866 mankind has entered a new age in which I have gradually prepared the chosen ones. This people has received orders, I have confirmed to them their spiritual gifts. To every creature I have revealed the tribe to which he belongs and what his special task is. I have united my spiritual hosts ─ the one in the flesh and the other in the Spirit, as it is written.
59. I appointed leaders, so that for every community a
representative would be there, and I announced to them that it is my will that all should be united among themselves so that the people are strong.
60. I gave the creatures trained by Me the task of voice bearers to reveal Myself to mankind with human words, and I multiplied their number so that my teaching would spread. I created the body of "workers" so that the spiritual world would come into contact with men and reveal its mercy in healing and counseling.
61. It was my will to call that "foundation stone" which in every assembly place had to be the support of the leader, mediator between him and those who have orders, and trusted man of the people.
62. I appointed seers and trained them so that they would receive visions to be interpreted by the people, so that they would remain awake.
63. I gave the commission of "gold feathers" to those who would take notes. I trained their minds and sent for their protection spirit beings who at other times likewise watched over the Scriptures, that my word might be printed and be preserved for all times.
64. I trained "watchmen" so that they would oversee the order in the church, and called them "pillars".
65. All these creatures I have enlightened, and my inspiration pours out upon them. Now I ask all who have received these ministries if they have understood what they contain.
66. I grant you three more years for your armament. After that, these offices will become one, and you will all be called "workers in the divine corridor", and to you will be entrusted all those who did not hear my word, that you may teach them. You will then no longer be disciples, but will become masters.
My peace be with you!
