A new light in the new light

24th October 1841. Sunday morning.

[1] Away, away with you – the mountains vanish, the waters dry up in the depths; away, away with you, time is flattened, a destructive breath of the timeless being blows over the dull turned crevices of the earth, and the ice-rigid sea yawns at the fire of wrath – away, away with you!

[2] The double-edged sword, which you robbed from the heights of Zion, is again sharply in the hand of Eternal Omnipotence and is now swung over the beast's seventh head, so that the dragon will never eat the sweet blood of innocence – never pursue the poor righteous woman in the desert, and her child, the Lord in the word, live alive in every grain of sand throughout the eternal great day.

[3] The earth shall be equal between pole and pole, and no day longer and shorter anymore. I will drive back the waters, yes, over the highest mountains I will pile up waves to the stars, to drown all the rocks, and fire shall fall down to the bottomless pit, and shall kindle there all the rotten waters, and their vapor shall pollute all the worms of the earth.

[4] Hence away with you, you dragon – whereto with you, you heavy one? Into the fire, into your fire, into the fire with which you have long scorched the humble grass on the great meadow of life and therefore have sprinkled the barren ground with glowing stones so that the ants are to sweat themselves to death under the ground. But this hard-tested creature is not extinct; it lives, yes, it must live, in order to crush you miserable worm according to a directed way in the dust of your nothingness!

[5] Let it get hot for you, you mountains, and I will chase you clouds from one end of the world to the other with lightning and float in dizzying whirls, therefore you are to produce hail, to slay all scorn-fodder for the beast of beasts and cover the glowing ground of the weak with ice up to the stars, so that the earth's blind delusion will freeze to death forever. For I am the Lord of all power; to Me, everything must give way to free up space; when I come, where I come, there is no-one after Me, like nobody was before Me and no-one has shown the long way through infinity. Amen.
