CHAPTER 45
Looking for Signs - The Impure Spirit - The Parents and the Brothers and Sisters of Jesus - Earthly Riches

The "blind one” expects miracles -
The danger of being influenced by negative powers (1-6). To sin against the Holy Spirit is to act against better knowledge (7). To be a member in the family of God, or a loner and advocate for the human ego (8-10). The material riches; the effects of greed (11-16)

1. Several scribes and pharisees said to Him, "Master, we would like to see a sign from you.” But He answered, saying to them, "An evil and corrupt generation looks for a sign and no sign shall be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonas.

2. Yes, just as Jonas was in the belly of the whale for three days and three nights, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth and will then rise again.

3. The men of Nineveh will rise and judge and condemn this generation, because they repented with the preaching of Jonas; and behold, here is one greater than Jonas.

4. The queen of the south will rise and judge and condemn this generation, for she came from the farthest parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold, one greater than Solomon is here.”

5. And He continued, saying, "When the impure spirit has gone out of a person, it goes through dry places in order to find rest; and finding none, it says, 'I will return to my house from where I came.' And when it has come there, it finds the house empty, swept and decorated, for they did not ask the good Spirit to dwell therein and be their eternal guest.

6. Then it goes and takes with it seven other spirits who are even more evil than it, and they move in and dwell there, and this last state of all such cases is worse than the first. Even so, shall it be also unto this evil generation which refuses entrance to the Spirit of God. (Chap. 45:1-6)

I, Christ, explain, correct
and deepen the word:

The one who expects signs and miracles from God does not recognize himself as the work of God which He created. May the one who wants to see signs and miracles observe his house of flesh and blood and recognize therein the countless functions which are possible only through the Spirit of God in him.

The one who - as I, Christ in Jesus - lives in the eternal Being needs no visible signs or miracles anymore. Already in the earthly garment, he perceives the reality of God, which radiates towards him through countless incidents and forms. Only the blind one wants to see without taking the blindfold of sin away from his eyes.

Therefore, watch your thoughts, words and senses, which close your eyes to the truth and open the gates for sin. For man allows himself to be tempted all too quickly and thus opens the way to the satan of the senses.

Soul and person are the house of God. When this house is defiled by thoughts of envy, hatred and animosity, when the person does recognize them but does not change them, and when the good principles and resolutions are not followed by the corresponding action - evil moves into the person, and becomes a yoke and a burden for him.

The one who does not recognize his way of thinking, speaking, and acting and does not turn back in time keeps his house open to more darklings. Then they enter into the house that was decorated for them and compel the person to do what they want. The person thus loses control over his thinking and speaking. Then it is thought, spoken and acted through him. He is then no longer himself, but it is those, who think and speak through him, to whom he gave access through his behaviour that was far from God.

Through his negative thinking, speaking and acting, the person attracts the corresponding powers which then influence him. For like attracts like.

Every arrogance, too, is dangerous, for it is the ornament of the dark one.

That is how it was and is for people in many generations and so it will be for many who refuse to admit the Spirit of God.

7. For I say to you, whoever blasphemes the Son of Man shall be forgiven. But whoever blasphemes the Holy Spirit shall not be forgiven, neither in this life nor in the next life; for he resists the light of God because of the false traditions of man.” (Chap. 45:7)

I, Christ, explain, correct
and deepen the word:

I explain the following statement: "But whoever blasphemes the Holy Spirit shall not be forgiven, neither in this life nor in the next life.”

The sin against the Holy Spirit is the gravest of sins. When the truth, the law of God, is made manifest to the person - be it through the Ten Commandments or through the Sermon on the Mount or through My revelations in today's time [in the years around 1989] - and he nevertheless consciously thinks, speaks and acts against the law of God, he thus sins against the Holy Spirit. A sin against the Holy Spirit, depending on its intensity, cannot be atoned for in only one earthly existence. Depending on the circumstances, several incarnations could be necessary in order to expiate and atone for what the person has caused.

Even though a person has taught untruths that were handed down, he is bound to these untruths and thus to those people and souls whom he wrongly taught. Nevertheless, the possibility is given to him day after day to change his way of thinking and to find in himself what truth and life mean.

8. While He was still speaking to the people, behold, His parents and His brothers and sisters were standing outside and wanted to talk to Him. Then one said to Him, "Behold, Your father and Your mother and Your brothers and sisters are standing outside and want to talk to you.”

9. But He answered and said to him, "Who is My father and who is My mother? And who are My brothers and sisters?”

10. And He pointed with His hand towards His disciples, saying, "Behold My father and My mother, My brothers and sisters and My children. The one who does the will of My Father in heaven is My father and My mother, My brother and My sister, My son and My daughter.” (Chap. 45:8-10)

I, Christ, explain, correct
and deepen the word:

Every child of God - whether he lives in heaven, or on earth as a human being, or as a soul in the spheres of purification - is a member of the great family of God. The one who fulfils the will of God is drawn from within to where people live in and with God, for these belong to the family of God.

The one who does the will of men turns away from those who strive to fulfil the will of God. He becomes a loner and an advocate of his human ego.

The measure for each person is his way of living and thinking. He recognizes himself in the following:

The one who truly strives to fulfil the will of God in his way of feeling, thinking and acting is also drawn to where those people live who do the will of God. This is where the work of God, the love, will then grow.

11. And some pharisees were there who were proud of their wealth, and He said to them, "Take heed and beware of greed, for a man's life does not consist of the abundance of things which he possesses.”

12. And He spoke in a parable to them: "The land of a rich man brought forth plentifully, and he thought to himself, saying: What shall I do? For I have no place where I can store my harvest.

13. And he said: This is what I will do; I will tear down my barns and build larger ones. And there I will store all my fruits and goods.

14. And I will say to my soul: You have laid up many goods for many years, take your ease, eat, drink and be merry.

15. But God said to him: You fool, this night your life will be demanded of you. To whom shall these things which you have hoarded now belong?

16. This is how it is for those who lay up treasures for themselves, but are not rich in good works towards those who suffer need and want.” (Chap. 45:11-16)

I, Christ, explain, correct
and deepen the word:

What is related here happened and happens in all generations: The rich increase their wealth. Many of them were suddenly taken from the midst of their material wealth and stood as poor souls before their material garment, which they now could no longer use, and had to recognize that they were poor in light and power. At the same time, they experienced and learned in themselves how many souls and men they could have helped with their earthly wealth. The need of those whom they did not help because of their hoarding, then became the need of their own poor soul.

For the people of the New Era, I, Christ, explain:

In the sinful time, many people were very rich externally, but their hearts were cold and calculating. The rich strove for more and more wealth and the poor were envious of their worldly goods. Many had to work hard for them in order to be able to eke out their earthly living.

In the countries of so-called affluence, there was also a middle class between the poor and the rich. Many people of the middle class, too, strove towards wealth and prestige, and worked solely in order to become rich.

Much envy and grief came into this world because of the wealthy; even wars were instigated by the power-hungry rich who wanted to demonstrate their power and increase their prestige. Whole nations often had to suffer from such lust for power and tyranny; for through wars, famine, grief, illness and epidemics came to the nations which suffered under their rulers and leaders. Even in times of need, many of the wealthy enriched themselves, whereas the poor became even poorer. Through armament and war, some became even richer, while a great part of the people lived on under the constraint of the yoke and of oppression. Despite the outer struggle, the middle class survived.

In proportion to the number of people on this earth, only a few strove to fulfil the will of God. However, many spoke about the laws of God and about Me, the Christ of God, yet their speeches were empty. Mankind was not filled with the spirit of love which enters into the words and deeds of people solely through actualization.

In the course of generations, more and more men and souls sought the light of truth and also lived accordingly. And so, the radical change from the sinful time to the Era of Light came about very gradually. It was a long process of fermentation of all that is dark, which went
