From the Spirit of Truth (Continued)
29th August 1842, morning
According to the forecast of August 15, 1842, the servant Jakob Lorber received at John 16:8-15, the following statement about the "Spirit of Truth".
[1] When the united Spirit of love and all wisdom and truth comes out of it from on high in the hearts of people, then sin will perish – since the world will be convicted that the Son and the Father are perfectly one, and there will be only one essential God of all infinite power and strength and all holiness, love and authority, and thus also one Lord of an unchangeable order in which all the world exists and is already judged in all of it’s rule. Because only that which is truly free is also free in and with Me, but everything else is judged and could not exist without judgment.
[2] For by the "prince of the world" is understood the freely working power of the world. But regardless of this it is still in My sole power, and no atom of the sun can be moved from it’s place without My permission.
[3] But since "punishing" means to forcefully convince someone about what is in order and what is against it, the unbelievers will thereby be forcefully convicted of their night when they will see from the works of those who are in My righteousness and order, that the Son and the Father are one and that the Son has come forth from the Father, as light comes forth from a blazing flame.
[4] But as flame, light, and warmth are one, so are Father, Son, and Spirit one!
[5] But the warmth which comes out of the light, as this comes out of the flame, is the spirit, which in itself is nothing, but only the unity of the Father with the Son, and thus enlivens all things.
[6] Therefore, it is also said: I would still have much to say to you, but you would not be able to bear it yet. But when the Holy Spirit comes, He will guide you into all truth. Whoever does not yet understand this, just let the sun speak in winter, for example, and he will perceive the same symbolically from a natural point of view. For does not the sun in winter speak thus to a part of the earth: “Behold, my light still has much to develop from your soil, but in your present state you are not capable of such development. But when with the light also the warmth will come – that is the active love – then this will draw all the innumerable forms out of your soil (or lead you into all truth)".
[7] But will the warmth of the light extract new forms from the ground? Oh no, but it will unfold the old forms of the eternal order! So also the Spirit will not speak of Itself, but only the words going out from Him.
[8] But just as the light of the sun is transfigured and glorified by the warmth in the developed forms, since in it’s original forms it again appears as if rejuvenated, so the Spirit will also transfigure the Son, who is one with the Father, in you. Because He will not call forth Himself in you, but only Him from whom He emerges from eternity. That is why it is also said: "He will take it from Mine and proclaim it to you!" That is: He will bring My seed to growth in you, and you will then see My glory in you!
[9] This is what these texts say. Pay close attention to them! For in them lies the essence of full rebirth. Therefore understand it’s working in the spirit! Amen.
