The Lord's Sermons THE LORD'S SERMONS Gottfried Mayerhofer Original title: PREDIGTEN DES HERRN 1 Introduction (Received from the Lord through Gottfried Mayerhofer in Trieste on November 22, 1871) or many years in the churches every Sunday a Gospel from the story of My earthly pilgrimage is read to the congregation and interpreted according to the spiritual level of the preacher. The time is approaching when a reform of the entire Christian worship will be undertaken and when, perhaps, most of the existent rites and ceremonies will be abolished leaving for the meetings of the Christian congregation only the sermon or the explanation of the Gospel, which I left you. Through My scribe I shall now - for all present and future followers and reverers of My Word - explain in more detail a number of Bible texts from the New Testament as they have never before been explained by anybody, so that a wrong interpretation may not lead to idolatry and worship of things that at the most may be revered, but never worshipped. This series of texts from the Gospels, which shall once more remind you of My words, shall be presented to you in the way in which they apply to your temporal life, and besides they shall show you how these words - spoken almost two thousand years ago - are coming true; for already then I said that the world and everything in it will pass, but My words will remain forever. Amen. 2 - Sermon 1 - First Sunday in Advent. The Signs of the Future t. Luke XXI, 25-26: "And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken." (November 23, 1871) This is that text from the Gospels with which the ecclesiastical year usually commences. It is read to the believers at church every year, explained in one way or another, so as to best serve the preacher's purpose. Even if many of them do speak of signs and miracles, only a few know what these signs actually consist in and in what way they will announce the time to come. Most preachers choose their explanations of this text from the political life thus endeavouring to explain what is spiritual with wordly examples. This is quite as futile an effort as if one would try to explain the spiritual world through the material, whereas it should be the other way round, since the happenings in the world are the result of spiritual upheavals. Behold, My children, when in those times I spoke of signs and predicted to the Jews the destruction of their temple, only few of them believed My words because they did not know Me. Now, when I am telling you the same, there are quite as many doubters and non-believers expecting the signs from a different side than where they will acutally be coming from. At that time I predicted the destruction of the temple of Jerusalem and the end of the Jewish people as an intependent nation. I told them that the way in which they were observing their religious laws was contrary to what Moses and the Prophets had wanted to give them, and that an end must be made to this conception and practice by means of the true interpretation for the sake of which I had come and sacrificed My life. They did not want to relinquish what through habit had long since become their faith or religion. For them the temple in Jerusalem represented the spiritual edifice of religion. However, since things were so bad in that temple and religion was preached and practised to suit the interests of priests and Pharisees, this material temple had to be destroyed if mankind were not to rot in the muddy, stagnant water of their lowest passions. Another, spiritual, everlasting temple, for which I laid the foundation-stone during My life on earth, could only be built on the ruins of the former. As from that time and since My ascension, signs have been given, and still are being given, until My Second Coming, admonishing people to convert, but it never seemed to be the right time to 3 destroy the present temple, namely Rome and its establishment. Even if a ray of light heralding the future illumined the heart of many a person, in Rome it stayed dark and kept getting darker instead of lighter. What once happened in Jerusalem, where the armed Roman power during a long time respected the religion and customs of the Jews and gave them a free hand, has happened also with Rome until this day. The mighty, with the sword in their hand, well aware of the nuisance in Rome, dit not want to make an end to it, but preferred to use it in their own interest. However, just as once the Jews brought about the destruction of the temple and their own downfall through their presumptious and rebellious attitude, the edifice of the infallible on Peter's chair in Rome will collapse through the presumption and blindness of his own assistants and will have to make room for My teaching as once before. What happened when I first came to the earth as a man will happen again. There will be signs - happy they who understand and heed them for their own benefit and that of their fellowmen! Spiritually that which has been predicted will commence -and actually has already commenced - with exactly the same symptoms as once during My pilgrimage on earth. Wars and uprisings, the persecution of My followers, fear of the future and all kinds of diseases were the early signs then and shall not be absent today. Not that I am sending them, but men work their own destiny through non-comprehension of My divine words that shall remain unchanged forever. The wind of spiritual freedom is blowing also today, penetrating all human hearts. The human rights that have been disregarded for so long want to be respected and no longer trampled underfoot by just one class - the more powerful. It says that even a worm will turn when trod upon. Well, the mighty of the church and the world have trod on the worm long enough, endeavouring to completely subjugate it und let human dignity begin only with them. But they went too far. This they feel and are now - in their fear of the consequences - looking for means to stop this development. But in vain! As once in Jerusalem, also these mighty of today will reap what they have sown. At that time I advised My followers to be moderate in everything, to retain their souls and bodies pure and not to misuse them, so that they may stand purified before the Son of Man when He shall come. The same admonition applies also today: "Watch and pray that ye enter not into temptation!" Keep yourselves pure, gain strength through your faith in My love and My divine care which, even if it allows the most terrible things to happen, will never punish those who have followed My teaching with childlike trust and practised it with faithful zeal. The signs of the time will pass you by when you have learned to adapt your body to a minimum of physical needs, but instead are more concerned with the building up of your spiritual being. Then - as once My followers did - you will praise My greatness, love and mery even over smoking ruins of worldly splendour and battlefields, where matter has been defeated, but the spirit liberated. Amen. 4 - Sermon 2 - Second Sunday in Advent. John's Inquiry t. Matthew XI, 2-6: "Now when John had heard in the prison the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples, and said unto him, Art thou he that should come, or do we look for another: Jesus answered and said unto them. Go and shew John again those tings which ye do hear and see: The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them. And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me." St. Matthew XI, 27-30: "All things are delivered unto me of my Father; and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him. Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, und I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light." (December 4, 1871) When John was in prison he sent some of his disciples to Me to ask whether I was the promised Messiah, who was to liberate the people from oppression and raise them to that spiritual dignity for which they had actually been created, - or whether he had to wait for another. This question, whether I am actually the one about whom the prophets had spoken, has again arisen in the minds of those who lack a clear understanding. They slightly suspect a future spiritual state, by which the old, traditional religious customs will be partly abolished and partly reduced to their proper measure, and that is why they, too, are sending their disciples that they may ask: "Art thou he that should come, or do we look for another?" These disciples or adherents of the actual, true religious teaching are still prejudiced by the religious principles impressed upon them since their childhood, which sometimes misrepresent My teaching and, together with the ceremonies, have always been confusing for the believer.

  • Automatic Writing and the Book of Mormon: an Update
    ARTICLES AND ESSAYS AUTOMATIC WRITING AND THE BOOK OF MORMON: AN UPDATE Brian C. Hales At a Church conference in 1831, Hyrum Smith invited his brother to explain how the Book of Mormon originated. Joseph declined, saying: “It was not intended to tell the world all the particulars of the coming forth of the Book of Mormon.”1 His pat answer—which he repeated on several occasions—was simply that it came “by the gift and power of God.”2 Attributing the Book of Mormon’s origin to supernatural forces has worked well for Joseph Smith’s believers, then as well as now, but not so well for critics who seem certain natural abilities were responsible. For over 180 years, several secular theories have been advanced as explanations.3 The more popular hypotheses include plagiarism (of the Solomon Spaulding manuscript),4 collaboration (with Oliver Cowdery, Sidney Rigdon, etc.),5 1.

  • Symbolic Images of the Bible Exlained in the New
    SYMBOLIC IMAGES OF THE BIBLE EXLAINED IN THE NEW REVELATION THROUGH JAKOB LORBER AND GOTTFRIED MAYERHOFER (ref: www.the-new-revelation.weebly.com , www.hisnewword.org ) The facts that the known Scriptures and especially The Old Testament are spiritually encoded, that people need divine revelation to understand them, that such revelation happened when the Lord Himself explained them to His disciples and that there will come a time when He will bring His wisdom to the people in plain language are all clearly pointed in both the Old and the New Testament. We thus invite you to investigate some Bible verses pointing to the following: GOD'S MYSTERIOUS WISDOM IS TO BE REVEALED BY HIS SPIRIT. MEN KNOW NOTHING FROM THEMSELVES. THE OLD TESTAMENT IS VEILED. THE LORD OPENED IT FOR HIS DISCIPLES. PLAIN LANGUAGE PROMISED BY THE LORD IN BOTH THE OLD AND NEW TESTAMENT i (please press the roman letter at the end of the previous paragraph to see the relevant Bible verses and same to come back to the beginning/ titles list) * The previous references being noted, we will add here a collection of explanations of the spiritually encoded prophetic language of the Bible as they can be found in the New Revelation. However, please consider that this is far from being exhaustive and also that the meanings of God’s eternal and infinite words are not to be seen as restricted to just these short explanations that are given as basic instruction for Lord’s people. It is definitely, of great importance to study the Scripture in the light of these disclosures and observe how much, as a result of that, the understanding of the messages of the old prophets and Revelation increases as also the consistency between them and the teachings of Jesus; this is indeed a most compelling demonstration that God (and the God of the entire Bible) is the same yesterday, today and forever (Heb 13:8) and that the spirit of prophecy is nothing else but a testimony of the Jesus (Rev 19:10).

Gerard, I hope that this email gets to you as I had the email as zelfbeschouwing@ email which did not seem right. Anyway, I have been re-reading the condensed English version of The Great Gospel of John, as we have packed our full version as we have most of our books in storage as we have put our home on the market. I attempted to look up the references, but they were missing from the version that I am reading. Your assessment of Roque Rojas was out of keeping with the knowledge that we have of Lorber, (who Jesus called lazy) Mayerhofer. Engels, all the writers of the Old and New Testaments and all the other people who have received the Word from Jesus.

  • The Trinity in God and Man
    The Trinity in God and Man The Great Gospel of John Volume 6 – 230 Jesus reveals thru Jakob Lorber 230,1. (The Lord:) “However, what you will hear now, for the time being keep for yourselves and do not make Me known before the right time! When the right time will come, you will be informed by My spirit, which is the actual Holy Spirit. 230,2. The Father, I as Son and the Holy spirit are distinguishable one and the same from eternity. 230,3. The Father in Me is the everlasting love and as such the primordial reason and the actual primordial substance of all things, which fills the whole of eternity. 230,4. I as the Son am the light and wisdom, which goes forth from the fire of everlasting love. This mighty light is the everlasting most perfect self-consciousness and the brightest self-recognition of God and is the everlasting word in God, through which everything there is, has been created. 230,5. But to do all this also requires the almighty will of God, which is the Holy Spirit in God, through whom these works and creatures are to be fully realised. The Holy Spirit is the great pronounced word ‘It shall be!’ - and it is what the love and wisdom in God have decided. 230,6. And see, all this is now present in Me: the love, the wisdom and the power! And therefore there only exists one God, and this is Me, and I only have taken on a body here, to reveal Myself better to you people of this earth, who I have created to My likeness, in your personality - as it is the case right now.

The New Revelations of 22-26 after Chr. were revealed again in 1840 to the Austrian writing-servant- or Prophet Jakob Lorber, as once happened with the favorite disciple of Jesus - John on Patmos - who has received “image apparitions" and those images went by to his eyes as if he himself has been there. Lorber received his information not on inspiration, but he was in full consciousness dictated by the Lord Jesus Himself. Lorber was not a mystic - but he received his information from the Lord in his heart; So there was nothing secretive or mysterious about this. ======================================================= INTROSPECTION– SELF EXAMINATION Contacts and reactions We received friendly and useful responses to the Jakob-Lorber-Bulletin Nr.22.

  • Intellect, Conscience Free-Will
    ABOOUT IINNTTEELLLLEECCTT,, CCOONNSSCCIIEENNCCEE AND FFRREEEE--WWIILLLL (Ed.. 1) Excerpts from THE NEW REVELATION of JESUS CHRIST www..new-revelation..ro THE NEW REVELATION From 1840 to 1864, and from 1870 to 1877, JESUS CHRIST dictated to the Austrian musician Jakob Lorber and to German Gottfried Mayerhofer the greatest and largest spiritual message ever offered to humanity. The revelations were received by the two scribes of the Lord through Inner Word, meaning Lorber and later, Mayerhofer heard them very clearly in the region of their heart and wrote them faithfully down, without adding any personal contribution. They were perfectly awake, they didn´t experience any states of altered consciousness, nor were they some mediums for automatic writing whose hands were guided by a spirit-entity. The writings of Lorber and Mayerhofer, comprising tens of volumes are known as THE NEW REVELATION, the extraordinary spiritual teaching that JESUS CHRIST brought to mankind, almost 2000 years after his earthly life. It must be noted that the following excerpts cover just a small part of the revelations treating the proposed subjects. This amazing natural- spiritual knowledge creates a new ontological paradigm which, in full agreement with the Christian Scriptures, clarifies many fundamental issues dealt with by psychology, philosophy and religion. 1 THE TRINITY IN MAN AS IN GOD The Living Soul - between body and Spirit INTELLECT – the earthly intelligence of the brain Necessity of a proper development of the intellect To seek God is not a task for the intellect, but for the heart CONSCIENCE – a spiritual organ in the heart of the soul Conscience – a inner voice in the human heart Raphael's description of the conscience and angel's influence upon man FREE-WILL – fundamental attribute of the soul How God gave all spiritual beings created by Him free-will and the conflicts arising from the two types of creation’s self-conscience Man, as God's complete image, must also have a perfect free will In this world, the freedom of life is being tested.
