The game's meaning. The three tosses signifying the historical eras from Adam up to the incarnation. The new and eternally last toss: from a child's position, all will recognize the Father. The Father will then be the Father forever. 30 April 1844
01] And the Child immediately began to speak like a wise teacher from a synagogue and said:
02] "This is the significance of this game: from the time of creation, and before it, God was the Lord from eternity!
03] The first toss: the old spirits awake but do not want to put up with the glory of God, and the game gets out of order.
04] This game lasts from Adam to Noah and from Noah to Moses.
05] The stubborn girl represents the love – and the world, which rejects love.
06] During Noah's time, the world is punished by threats, just like this girl with the mice.
07] But the world does not improve, but gradually falls back again into idolatry and wants altars, visible deities and many rituals.
08] Here the Lord calls for an end to the game under Moses, and a second toss takes place!
09] At the beginning it looks like it will last; but Moses has only to turn his back, and the golden calf is completed!
10] Thus the girl begins to quarrel in earnest, and is then punished with the threat of actual judgment.
11] And so the Flood was much more of a strong threat than an actual judgment.
12] But the judgment of the people in the wilderness was a real judgment, since it occurred through fire, just as it had in the past with Sodom.
13] The game begins with the toss; frankly, it goes well at first, but out of pure fear, for the mother, the love, is missing in this game; the mother departed because she was not allowed to rule.
14] This game of Moses lasted until this time, and wore itself out through revolts and through constant fear.
15] The Lord again calls the small group together; another toss takes place, and the Lord becomes a Child!
16] Then the love comes and expresses a certain delight over the utterly helpless position of the Lord.
17] Love now also makes a toss, and succeeds in reaching the first step of the throne.
18] And there she persecutes the Lord unto death and does not leave Him in peace for almost a thousand and nine hundred years and stirs up everyone against Him!
19] But then it is obvious to the established powers that this will not do anymore.
20] And a final toss takes place: the Lord is once again the Lord of old; His position is full
of glowing fervour and His toss full of grace!
21] And from a child's position, all the people will recognize the Father, when He as such comes increasingly closer to the people with all His loving power!
22] And that will be the last toss, and no further ones will take place! – The Father will then be a Father forever.
23] See, that is the purpose of the game! – Now let us all go back to the house, to see what the awakened Tullia is doing; and so, all of you, follow Me!"
