1. The Jews' Passover was at hand, and Jesus went up again from Bethany to Jerusalem. And He found sitting in the temple those who sold oxen, sheep and doves, as well as the money-changers.
2. Then He made a scourge of seven cords and drove them
all out of the temple. He released the sheep and the oxen and the doves, poured out the
changers' money and overturned the tables.(Chap. 71:1-2)
I, Christ, explain, correct
and deepen the word:
The scourge of seven cords symbolized the seven basic powers of God, the law of life.
The one who acts against the law of God violates the seven basic powers of God and thus creates his causes. Every cause which is not repented and made good in time is a whiplash for soul and body.
The one who violates all seven basic powers will receive the corresponding whiplashes. They are the effects which he has to feel on his body.
3. And He said to them, "Take these things out and do not make of My Father's house a house of merchandise. Is it not written: My house shall be called a house of prayer for all peoples? But you have made of it a den of thieves and filled it with all kinds of abominations.”
4. And He did not tolerate that anyone carry a vessel of
blood through the temple, or that animals be slain. And His disciples remembered that it
was written, "Zeal for your house has eaten me up.” (Chap. 71:3-4)
I, Christ, explain, correct
and deepen the word:
"My house shall be called a house of prayer for all peoples” means that it shall be a house or large room where all people gather - no matter from which denomination or race they are, no matter from which people or country or position they come. They come together there to pray and to praise and honour God - and to learn the laws of God and then keep them.
God is the One, the only One, the Father-Mother-God of all beings and men - there is no other God. Therefore, there shall be o n e people which worships the One and only One without rites, cults, dogmas or doctrines.
There shall be no argument or exchange of opinions about God.
God is in the hearts of all beings and men. He is the life in all Being. The one who respects himself, by holding his life sacred, also respects his neighbour and becomes pleasing to God. He does not seek to fathom God, for he lives in the stream of life and does not question the stream.
Therefore, he needs no cults or ceremonies, nor any arguments. The one who is detached from these outer appearances is consciously liberated and is one with the life which lasts eternally.
God wants no sacrificial victim. This is an abomination to Him. He wants the pure and honest heart of His children who fulfil the laws of God, who remain faithful to God in all things and are devoted to each other in love.
5. Then the Jews responded to Him, "What sign do You show us, seeing that You do these things?” Jesus answered and said to them, "I say to you once more: Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.”
6. Then the Jews replied, "Forty-six years was this temple in the building, and You will raise it up in three days?” But He was speaking of the temple of His body.
7. When He was risen from the dead, His disciples
remembered that He had said this to them; and they believed the scripture and the word
which Jesus had said. (Chap. 71:5-7)
I, Christ, explain, correct
and deepen the word:
It is much better not to take the scripture and the word literally and not to believe literally, that is, not to cling to the letter, but to understand the meaning of what is written and spoken. A person learns this through the actualization of the divine commandments; they are the first steps towards the fulfilment of the eternal laws. If a person is able to grasp the meaning of the word in its depth, he can no longer be misled. The letter alone is dead and does not bring out the aliveness of Inner Life. This is brought out only by the meaning which lies in the letter, in the word. The meaning of the word brings soul and person to life.
The one who heeds solely the word often lives in error. But the one who understands the sense, the meaning of the word, lives in the word and also understands the word, because he recognizes the sign of God in it.
8. But the scribes and priests saw and heard this and were frightened and sought how they could destroy Him; for they feared Him, seeing that the people listened to His teachings.
9. When evening came, He went out of the city. For by day He taught in the temple and at night He went out to the Mount of Olives. The people came early in the morning to hear Him in the temple courtyards.
10. Now when He was in Jerusalem for the Passover, many believed in Him, for they saw the miracles which He did.
11. But Jesus did not commit Himself to them, for He knew
them all. And He did not need that anyone bear witness for another; for He knew well what
was in a person. (Chap. 71:8-11)
I, Christ, explain, correct
and deepen the word:
The words "... for He knew well what was in a person” have the following meaning: As long as a person only hears and only believes in what he heard, but does not fulfil it in his everyday life, he remains a sinful person who judges and condemns. Today he cries, "Hosanna” - and tomorrow, "Crucify Him”.
Every person marks himself by his thinking, speaking and acting. His thinking and living is the drawing pencil with which he marks his body and shapes his countenance. What each person thinks is thus in his countenance. What a person thinks, he is.
The one who only believes and does not put his faith into practice remains, despite his faith, the old person who keeps his habits and vices. Such people are unreliable. For the one who does not fulfil the laws of God is a reed wavering in the wind.
12. Since the Passover was near, He sent two of His disciples to prepare the upper room where He wanted to eat with His twelve, and to buy all that was needed for the feast which He wanted to celebrate with them. (Chap. 71:12)
