Excerpts from the great work of revelation
This Is My Word A and Ω
On the topic:
Jesus of Nazareth Came for the Animals, too
Verily, I say to you: I Am come into the world in order to put an end to all blood offerings and to the eating of the flesh of animals and birds that are slain by men.
l, Christ, explain, correct and deepen the word:
The one who loves the life in God loves God and is one with the life from God.
I came to this world to teach the gospel of love, the law of the heavens, and to live it as an example. The one who actualizes the law of love of the heavens will find his way to a fulfilled life.
The life in God includes not only one’s neighbor, but also all other forms of life, like animals, plants, minerals and stones; for all Being bears the life, God. The one who is in unity with life neither kills animals nor destroys plants willfully. He also respects the life — the forces of consciousness — of the minerals and stones.
The one who respects life also respects his neighbor, because he respects himself. For the life, God, is in the soul as substance and power. The one who respects his neighbor thus lives in peace with all Being and with his neighbor, for all beings and men are children of the Father-Mother-God.
Recognize that the one who actualizes the law of love changes his way of thinking and living. He thereby refines his senses and gradually gives up killing animals deliberately and also slaughtering them to consume their meat.
The one who relies on flesh also consumes flesh. The one who relies on the Spirit nourishes himself with what the Earth gives him, just as it was in former times.
Recognize that no change, whether in a person or in the world, takes place from one day to the next. It is a gradual process of transformation. The one who turns to God changes his way of thinking and living quite gradually, and thus ennobles his senses, even his whole person. In so doing, he will refrain more and more from eating meat and will keep peace with people and with the nature kingdoms. …
As Jesus went with some of His disciples, He met a man who trained dogs to hunt other animals. And He said to the man, “Why do you do this?” And the man answered, “Because I live from this. What sort of use have these animals? These animals are weak, but the dogs are strong.” And Jesus said to him, “You lack wisdom and love. Behold, every creature that God has created has its meaning and purpose. And who can say what good there is in it or what use it is to you or to humankind?
And for your living, behold the fields, how they grow and are fertile, and the fruitbearing trees and the herbs. What more do you want than what the honest work of your hands will give you? Woe to the strong who misuse their strength. Woe to the crafty who hurt the creatures of God! Woe to the hunters! For they themselves shall be hunted.”
(Kap. 14, 5-7)
l, Christ, explain, correct and deepen the word:
I Am the truth! The one who acts against life is also against himself, since he, too, is the life. For all the forces of life are active in him — including the life of animals and plants. For everything is the life that flows from the one primordial source, from God. Man will suffer for as long as he inflicts suffering on his neighbor — be it human beings, animals or plants. In the past two thousand years, My words to the people about the law of sowing and reaping have been fulfilled, and they will continue to be fulfilled until the law of sowing and reaping has been transformed because all people have come to love one another selflessly. The Kingdom of God comes to the Earth! In the course of further epochs, great areas all over the Earth will become refined. Lightfilled people will live on them. They will be with the animals and the animals with them.
The lamb will lie by the lion, and they will understand each other because people will be free from sin for the most part. Many animals adopt the vibrations of people and behave like people. If human beings change and live in accordance with the divine law, then animals, too, will again become trusting and will be the friends of humans. Until the sinful world has changed into the world of God, many human beings, animals and plants will still have to suffer from the unbending will of the domineering man who opposes God’s creation.
However, all might and glory has been given by the Father to the Christ of God and never to the person who disregards the laws of God. Woe to the hunters, and woe to those who crave for meat!
Both the hunters and those who, like cannibals, greedily consume the flesh of animals will be tormented and pursued by the
anguish, suffering and pain of the animals. The same applies to those who violate the plant and mineral kingdoms. They, too, will suffer because of their sinful deeds. The person will harvest what he sows, either in his earthly life or as a soul in the spheres of purification. Therefore, watch your thoughts, words and deeds, for they can become your undoing. My kingdom on Earth will be a kingdom of unity and peace, as was revealed: Human being and animal will live with one another in peace, because the souls of people will be pure for the most part.
Therefore be considerate, kind, sympathetic and friendly not only to your own kind, but also to every creature which is within your care, for you are as gods to them, whom they look up to in their need. p. 19, 9) l, Christ, explain, correct and deepen the word: p. 19, 9)
The child of God is in the image of God-Father and is therefore in itself eternally creating power, for it bears in itself all the substances of the eternal power. They are all perfectly developed in it. For this reason, animals, plants and stones look up to the image of God and want unity with the fully matured beings from God, into whom the life that has taken on more and more form is spiritually developing higher. Therefore, feel the unity with each creature and with all stones and plants and protect the life that is entrusted to you. Flowers and grasses are offerings from the hand of God.
For this reason, take them for your own use only when their outer life is withering. And be careful to leave the roots in the ground. Take what sprouts from the roots, but only when the time has come for this form of life. And if you remove it with the roots, leave it lying in a shaded place, so that the life may gradually withdraw, in order to return to the primordial substance where all powers are united. Do everything in the right kind of love and with understanding, for everything lives.
Never slaughter an animal for your personal use. Behold, nature, the life of creation, provides for you. The fruits of the fields, of the gardens and the forests should be sufficient for you. And never trample on life intentionally, neither that of the animals nor that of the plants. The one who intentionally tramples on life creates causes. It is as if he tramples on his own life, and he will suffer from it. …
Especially in this turn of time, the turning point from the old sinful time to the Era of Light, animal and plant species are calling out — with the forces of their sensations, with the language of their consciousness — to their Creator for help and rescue. Animals and plants are suffering unimaginably from the excesses of the human ego, of human selfishness. The oppressed life calls for mercy and deliverance.
God, My Father, the Creator of all life-forms, has heard the oppressed creatures. Many animal species are dying out because of humankind’s unlawful conduct. Their spiritual forces either return to the soul of the Earth or go into the pure spheres of the eternal Being. For many, this is a deliverance. Many of them, however, will come back when the light dwells on the Earth, because people will then live in unity with God.
Know that every misdeed and every ill-treatment that has not been atoned for — whether toward humans, animals, plants or even
stones, that is, toward the whole Earth and the atmosphere — falls back upon the originator. Recognize that many animals are given to human beings so that they may serve them. Many are given to maintain the ecological balance. However, a right kind of serving, a reciprocal serving, can exist only when a person has unfolded the filiation-love that comes from the Father-Mother-God and when he has unfolded the Creator-love which is effective in the animal, in plants and stones. Then he can also communicate with all Being. ...
Q“I Am come into the world in order to put an end to all blood offerings” means: I came to this world to teach the gospel of love, the law of the heavens, so that you may recognize that only the person who keeps the laws of God is rich in spiritual power in his in-
ner being. People who have the inner values will not lack in anything. For the one who is rich in his heart is with his neighbor, not against him, thus being for God, the life, which is the fullness. People who have inner values are also with the world of animals and plants and are not against the creation of God. The one who is against his neighbor will fight against him and kill him. And whoever is against his neighbor will not be for other forms of life — neither for the life of animals nor of plants or stones. The one who is against the life in Me, the Christ, hungers and thirsts for success, wealth, power and prestige. For his feasts and for the lusts of his palate, he kills animals and consumes their flesh. Thus, he demonstrates that he is far from God.
Animal sacrifices, too, are an abomination before God, the Eternal. He does not want animals to be sacrificed or consecrated to Him. God has given the life to all forms of Being and thus to animals as well. Why should
they be sacrificed to Him, since He Himself, the life, dwells in them?
However, if a person were to sacrifice his human ego, his passions and cravings to Me, the Christ, and were to strive for and lead a life that is pleasing to God, that is, devoted to Him, this would contribute to the unity of all life forms. God is the spirit of love and freedom. For this reason, every human being should voluntarily sacrifice his ego. Only then will he become meek and humble of heart and will find his way to the great unity: God. This development of human beings toward Him is what God loves in His children. And the one who devotes himself to the eternal Father-Mother-God, by transforming his humanness into the divine, will not slaughter animals or consume their flesh, nor will he deliberately kill any animal. Such people will also treat the plant world with selfless love, as this, too, is a gift of creation from
God to His human children. The plants and the fruits of the field and forest willingly give themselves to the person and want to serve him as nourishment and as remedy for his sick body. … Furthermore, recognize that the suffering of animals and the consumed flesh of the animals that have been deliberately killed gnaw, in turn, at the flesh of the person. The consequences are disease and pestilence. They are the effects of these and similar causes. …
AQs Jesus passed through a village, He saw a group of idlers. They were tormenting a cat which they had found and ill-treated it shamefully. And Jesus commanded them to stop and began to reproach them; but they disregarded His words and reviled Him.(
1l, Christ, explain, correct and deepen the word:
The one who torments and ill-treats people and animals will one day experience torment and ill-treatment on his own body. The same applies to offences against the plant and mineral kingdoms. For what is manifest in matter as a life form also exists in the soul as spirit-substance. Therefore, the one who violates life passes judgment on himself, because he burdens a part of his spiritual heritage. For everything that comes from God also exists as essence in the soul of the person.
Recognize that the Earth brings forth food for the people. People also need shelter and clothing, because they cannot create their food, shelter and clothing like the angels in heaven. The Earth is the bearer of life for all things. It should neither be violated nor exploited. The Earth and everything that lives on it, animals, plants and minerals, want to serve the people. The prerequisite for this is
that people accept and receive their Earth, that is, that they care for it, for the Earth is a great living organism.
God, the Eternal, gave people the animals and plants and granted them fruits, vegetables and grain from the earth. He gave these to humankind and said, “Make the Earth subject to you,” which means in its correct implication: Respect and care for the life in all living forms, and they will serve you.
Recognize: The pure life-forms of the animals are created by God, and each plant belongs to God, the great potential of creation, which continues to develop in the evolutionary cycle. Thus, every life form is a part of the great whole.
Humankind is commanded by God to treasure and love life and to keep the commandment “pray and work.” For this reason, the life of so-called idlers is a waste of the energies of the day. They are people who steal God’s energy. The one who does not use the day, but only abuses it in order to exploit his
fellow people or to do violence to animals and plants, acts against the law of life. People who think only of their own welfare will torment the animals and exploit the Earth and poison the life on it, because their thoughts are poisoned by greed and envy. For the people who do not know themselves torment people and animals and are against nature. They do solely what their egoistic thinking urges them to do. They themselves are driven, and therefore, want to drive away everything that is around them, because everything that does not fit their conceptions disturbs them. Their human ego makes such people act as if they were of unsound mind. They do not know the commandment of asking for forgiveness, of forgiving and of making amends. They get even with their neighbor: an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. But in so doing, they burden their own soul with what they inflict upon their neighbor. For what a person does to his neighbor — and to the animal, to the plant, indeed, to
the entire organism of the Earth — is what he inflicts upon himself. So it was and still is in today’s sinful time. Yet a new generation is rising and strides into the new era, into a life with each other and with God. …
QMy coming has been revealed. Prepare in yourselves the path for Me, the Christ of God, for the Kingdom of God from which I come is within you.
Prepare yourselves for My coming and examine your life day by day, whether it is in the will of God. If you recognize that your sensations, thoughts, words and actions are not in conformity with the will of God, change them immediately. You should observe this when you eat and drink, too. You should gratefully accept the gifts from God and eat that food which is in keeping
with the divine law. Dedicate your pure heart to God, so that you may be the consecrated ones of life, who keep the laws of God.
The hour is drawing near, when every one will have to answer for what he has done to human beings, to nature and to animals. The New Era is dawning, in which the bloody sacrifices and animal experiments will cease, and the slaughter and consumption of animals, too, for these are the second neighbors of humankind. The Earth is cleansing itself from all that is base. All that is unlawful is being replaced by the higher life, in which the will of God will be fulfilled more and more.
People in the New Era will not just worship God, but will keep His laws.
As Jesus of Nazareth, I spoke to many people about the law of life and thus, about the animals which, like human beings, feel pain, grief and joy. Just as a person should not be against, but for his neighbor, so should he also be for the animals and bear responsibility for them, because they serve man. Over and over again, I taught the people that animals, too, are creatures of God, which man should not disregard, but should love. The one who beats and tortures them will one day experience the same or similar thing on his soul and on his body. For, what one does to his fellow people and to his fellow creatures, the animals, he does to himself.
Many people recognized their callousness and began to actualize My teachings. They repented and accepted the animals as their friends. And so, many a one understood My words and followed Me. ...
People in the Spirit of the Eternal know that the substance of life — which maintains the health of the body of a human being, its fleshy substance and blood — is in the fruits of the field and of the forest, but not in animals that are killed and consumed, for meat is dead food. People should neither kill people nor deliberately kill or slaughter animals for consumption; for, as creatures of God, they are his “second neighbor.”
When a person dedicates his earthly life to God, then the Spirit of God keeps the body of the person healthy, the substance, the flesh and blood; then his way of feeling, thinking, speaking and acting will also be noble and good. Only from this, do the high ethics and morals come. The ethical moral values of such a person will then be of significance in the choice of food, too. He will refrain from eating meat and fish and also from taking strong drinks.
In My time as Jesus of Nazareth, people defiled the stone altars in their houses of prayer with blood and then even ate the flesh of the animals they had killed. They defiled their temples of flesh and bone with negative sensations, thoughts, words and actions. Even the people of this time still do this again and again. And they, too, still defile themselves with the blood of animals which, against their better knowledge, they kill and whose flesh they consume.
Recognize that the law of God is and will be eternally. What was valid in former times is valid today, too, for God is the same law, today, tomorrow and in all eternity. The one who sheds innocent blood, who consumes flesh is merciless and will have to suffer his own lack of mercy on himself.
A pure soul and a healthy body, which the pure soul keeps healthy, are the memorial to the Eternal.
Natural food contains the substance of God. It is the life of the earthly body. The one who repents of his sins and does not commit them anymore will also let his sensations, thoughts, words and deeds rest in God and will eat what God has given him.
RQecognize that everything that lives feels. In a way similar to man, all forms of life feel joy and sorrow, whether they be animals, plants or stones. Life is consciousness. The consciousness radiates countless facets of evolution of the I Am. Consciousness is also a process of becoming conscious. People, animals, plants and stones feel according to their consciousness.
Recognize that the one who hunts animals will himself be hunted one day. The one who torments animals will himself be torment-
ed one day. The one who exploits the life of the Earth will become the prey to those who taught him to do this. Every seed has its harvest. What a person sows goes into the field of his soul; from there it sprouts and grows. In every seed already lies the fruit. Thus, the one who is against his neighbor and against the nature kingdoms is also against God, for God, the life, is in all Being.
SQo keep your hands and your soul pure, not just from theft and robbery. But above all, do not use violence, be it on people or on animals, and beware of shedding their blood. The one who loves his neighbor selflessly will neither do violence to him, nor kill him. And the one who loves his neighbor selflessly will not deliberately kill animals, either. The one who respects human being and an-
imal has no warlike designs, because he respects the laws of God to which belong the laws of nature, too. The one who strives to actualize the laws of God will refrain from eating meat more and more, and will gratefully accept the gifts of the earth, that is, that food which comes from God for His human children. …
QI, Christ, give this, My word of revelation, during this mighty turn of time, in order to point out once again, among other things, that just like the life of human beings, the life of animals, plants, stones and minerals, too, is in the hands of God. Many people have turned away from the Father-Mother-God and have sold themselves to materialism. As a result of this externalization, the senses of man, as well, become ever coarser. The person thereby loses his
fine sensitivity towards his fellow man and also towards nature. He has only an ear, a mind, for himself, for his ego. The result is that he pays attention to himself alone and does his utmost to gratify his own desires, without thinking of how it fares for his neighbor and his second neighbor, the animal, as well.
The animals suffer under domineering people. This is why it cannot readily be said in this time, “But if an animal suffers greatly, so that its life is a torment for it, or if it becomes dangerous to you, release it from its life quickly and with as little pain as you can.” For today, many animals constantly suffer torments and pain through the brutality of the human ego. The following does not hold true here: Release these animals by delivering them quickly from their torment and suffering. I, Christ, say to you: Try to experience their torment and suffering in your world of sensations. Feel into their torment
and suffering and recognize how they suffer because of your human doings! You are called upon to change by devoting yourselves to God, so that you can feel and understand your neighbor and your second neighbor, the animal, in your inner being.
Recognize that what you do to the animals, you do to Me, the Christ, and to yourselves, as well. The torment and suffering of the animals will one day be your torment and suffering. God, the Eternal, has also given the animals into the hands of human beings; however, not that they torment them, but that they live with them. Human beings should be for the animals, and then the animals are also for human beings. Then they will also serve them joyfully.
“You shall not kill”—neither people nor shall you willfully kill animals. About this, I say to you: Even the one who hates and wishes to kill his neighbors and second neighbors, be it human beings or animals, is guilty before the law of God. The one who causes torment to human beings and animals is guilty before the law of God as well. …
Recognize that the animals have no soul guilt, that is, they have created no causes. When they suffer, they suffer only because humankind has no regard for their habits. Therefore, beware of killing animals with the motivation that they are suffering. In the present time, many animals suffer because of the results of technology and because of agonizing animal experiments. So examine the reason why you kill animals. In this, too, the law is valid: What a person sows he will reap, in his behavior toward people as well as toward animals and nature.
Recognize that every animal senses and feels what a person intends to do with it. In the turn of time, in which I explain, correct and deepen the content of the book [“The Gospel of Jesus”], brutality against the animal world and the plant world has reached unimaginable proportions. The animals and the plants suffer from humankind’s capriciousness. Many people not only lack respect for their own life, but also for the entire creation.
As a result of human behavior, the magnetic currents, for example, have been disturbed. Because of this, many animals lack orientation, especially the migratory birds which fly into warmer countries. Because of the pollution of the rivers, lakes and oceans, as well as of the Earth’s atmosphere, many animal and plant species — in the water, in the air and on Earth — are becoming extinct.
Again and again, the admonishers of God came forth. Over and over again, the people were given an understanding of the one God. The great prophet Isaiah, the bearer of divine wisdom in heaven, announced the Messiah, the bringer of life and of light for all souls and human beings. The prophesy was fulfilled: I, Christ, came to humankind in Jesus and became the Son of Man. I came in order to show the people the way out of sin and slavery. As Jesus of Nazareth, I taught the laws of God and lived them as an example for the people. Humankind, however, did not recognize Me.
I taught the people to love one another, to love the animals, to respect nature, to acknowledge the Earth as the mother in whose bosom the human children live and work. I taught the people equality, freedom, unity, brotherliness and justice; I taught that they should not divide the Earth, but should share everything with each other in a brotherly way.
With this, evolution began, that is, people gradually turned towards God again. At first, the belief in many gods was abolished, then the sacrifice of human beings and, in the further course of time, the sacrifice of animals. Today, in the turn of time from the old to the New Era, I will put an end to the cruel animal experiments, the slaughtering of animals and the consumption of their flesh. Oh recognize: It is a time of evolution the overturn of the old, so that spirituality may come forth. Oh grasp that I came as Jesus of Nazareth. I interpreted the laws for the people and also set an example of a life in the law of God for the people. On Golgotha, I became the Redeemer of all souls and human beings.
Your Redeemer is now also your leader into the New Era, into the time of Christ, who I Am. More and more people are turning away from the slaughter and consumption of animals. More and more people see the Earth
as a whole, as their nourisher, as a part of their life. They nourish themselves with what the Earth gives them and also prepare it in a lawful way. In the course of generations, the human race, which knows the laws of God, which keeps them and nourishes itself accordingly will quite gradually emerge.
I Am come as Jesus of Nazareth to teach the laws and live them as an example and, in this way, also to abolish the blood sacrifices and the consumption of animals and to do away with revelries. I Am come to create a new human race that fulfills the will of the eternal Father, who is the one God, from eternity to eternity. …
