NEUOFFENBARUNGRead in German · Volume contents
[01] When Lamech of the planes got close to Henoch he bared his head and chest and bowed to the ground before Henoch.
[02] But Henoch immediately went straight to him and said to him: "Listen you, my beloved brother Lamech, what the Lord Himself did not ask from me nor from you, you at all times should refrain from doing it in front of me!
[03] For if I come to you, I'm not coming for you to honor me, like I was a second God, but I come to you only in the pure love of the Lord, who is to all of us a most loving Father, and I’m coming as a true brother to you! Why therefore such an honor, which is good for nothing?!
[04] But I say to you: Let's mutually avoid such honoring, otherwise we ourselves will become the creators of such evil spirits (times)!
[05] Behold, if you honor me, and I'm not more by one hair than there is any other person, you raise me above other people, and thus humble them before me, their equal brother!
[06] The people will for some times endure such humiliation; but then one after the other will begin to secretly ask by himself and will say:
[07] ‘Is he or him more of a person than we are? Why does God let him come to such honor that we must bow before him? But us he leaves in the most shameful dishonorable lowliness!
[08] We want to rise above him and want to take away all his vain privileges and chastise him for all the many honorings which we have wasted on him! He shall learn that he is just a man like us!'
[09] You see, my beloved brother Lamech, this is a true voice of human nature, which, once outraged, is more terrible than the blindest fury of all tigers and hyenas!
[10] Let us therefore mutually refrain from that wherein rests such an evil seed, and the earth will blossom under our steps into the most glorious Eden of God!
[11] If not, we will stomp with every step, swords and spears out of the earth, with which our later descendants will kill each other by a thousand and a thousand times thousand in ardent vengeance.
[12] We all have only one Lord, one God and a Father; but we among us are only brothers.
[13] If the Lord places someone over greater things than another, He does not elevate him before the brothers, but only gives him the opportunity to practice even more love on his brothers.
[14] But to exercise love to the brethren, one surely does not need honoring because love is a force which always seeks to unite what is equal but to separate the unequal like chaff from the wheat.
[15] Such note well, dearest brother Lamech, and you will live in the perfect order of God, and you always will be congenial to God!"
[16] These words of Henoch made a huge impression on Lamech, and he now made entirely different plans from what he had in mind until now, because he contemplated to introducing a kind of quiet, better caste system, which to Me is a judgement, an abomination of abominations.
[17] But, as said, these words of Henoch had changed all his quiet plans why he then also replied to Henoch:
[18] "O brother Henoch, with what a light have you now filled my heart! The almighty Lord of heaven and earth therefore eternally alone all honor, all praise, all the glory and all devotion, for that He made all people as equal loving brothers!"
[19] Here Lamech looked a little further in front of him and saw at a distance of about three hundred paces the small crowd which was following Henoch – who meanwhile lagged a little behind while Henoch alone hurried towards the humble Lamech – and Lamech asked Henoch:
[20] "Brother, who are those who are following you, as it seems to me with somewhat fearful steps?”
[21] And Henoch said to Lamech: "Dearest brother, leave your brothers here and follow me, and see how gracious and good the Lord is!
[22] Come and receive them in the name of the Lord! Amen."
