The Revelation of Jovian

The Jovian Revelation is a copy of the German translation of the original Apocalypse written in Syro-Aramaic and contains the first and second parts of the work. The date of origin of the original is clear from the text; it falls on May 28, 837 of the Romans (ab urbe condita = after the building of the city of Rome, to which event the calendar of the Roman Empire is based). According to our erroneous modern, apparently Christian calendar, May 28, 837 d. R. corresponds to the year 84 of our calendar. Our current chronology is therefore erroneous because Christ was born on December 19, 749 AD, which actually corresponds to the year 5 "BC" and his birth is therefore before his alleged birth, on which the chronology is based. This means that our chronology lags behind by about 5 years - a fact that is well known to scholars. It should also be noted that the author of the Apocalypse, the apostle John the Seer, was called "Jovian" by his real name, which the Jews later replaced with the Jewish name "Jochan" or "Joschanan" in order to make the apostle, who was of Greco-Roman descent, appear to be Jewish. The Jewish name was then Greekized to "John" (adapted to the Greek language of the time).

The original of the Jovian Revelation is said to be kept by the heirs of the Knights Templar in Vienna and is not accessible to the public. Unfortunately, the writings do not appear to be complete. Towards the end of the Second World War, the third part of the Revelation was probably lost and, as far as we know, no copy exists. This third part would also deal with future events. The curiosity is accordingly great, and there are many futile requests to the ThuleTempel for this lost part. Nothing can be shared, even on request. Simply because there is nothing else. So, unless a miracle happens and the third part suddenly reappears, we will have to make do with the first two parts, which comprise the present chapters 1-15.

But even in this incomplete form, the Jovian Revelation is probably the most important text that exists on Earth.

Text

The Revelation that the Lord God gave his servant and apostle Jovian (John) to see.

Chapter I

1 Blessed is he that readeth, and they that have understanding to the sense of the words of this vision, and keepeth the light of understanding alive in their soul, for to every one of them that is the time that is near, every day and every hour.

2 Jovian, who has written the word of the holy gospel of God and has been found worthy to see this vision, greets all the churches of Christ in His holiest name and spirit!

3 Grace, blessing, and peace be to you all from Him Who was, Who is, and Who will be, and by Whose holiest name we may be called Christians, if we, in true understanding of Him, also strive to actively follow His holiest word.

4 He, Who alone is true, all-good, eternal God and Father of all life, loves us unworthy ones so much that He, divesting Himself of all His heavenly splendor, became man for our sake, to lead us out of the darkness of error and the lie of death and to give the light of life in His kingdom to all who are of good will.

5 To Him be our thanks, honor, and praise forever!

6 Jovian, your brother and fellow sufferer in sorrow and joy, in trouble, but always in patience and peace of our Lord, was imprisoned on the island of Patmos because of the word of God Christ and the testimony of His eternal truth. Imprisoned at Miletus in the end of March and exiled in the middle of April in the last year of Emperor Titus, and therefore also in the first year of Emperor Domitian, in the Roman year 834, I was already seventy-seven years old, but the Lord God gave me the strength not only to work with the younger and young exiles, but also to bring many of them to the knowledge of the eternal truth of God Christ and of the true eternal life in His kingdom.

7 Paul Agatus, the steward, knew that I was imprisoned and sent away for an indefinite time on the accusations and insistence of the Jews by Prefect Lucius Anius, who sat at Miletus; therefore he also heard the word of truth of Christ with his own and soon relieved me of the worst tribulation.

8 In the third year of my exile, the Romans wrote the year 837 (in the third year of Emperor Domitian), on the twenty-eighth day of the month of May (the same as the fourteenth day of the month of Dæsius = Thargelion of the Greeks) on the day of the Lord, I was alone on the rock and in spirit with Him, for it was the fifty-fourth anniversary of His glorious Ascension.

9 In sadness I remembered His first companions and apostles, all of whom were already with Him, the last of whom was Brother Andrew Jonius, of whom I knew that he had only died half a year earlier at Patra with two coworkers of Christ.

10 And I was deeply moved in spirit and, lifting up my hands to heaven, I said:

11 "Lord, Thou who art and wast and will be, and by whose name we may be called Christians, I thank Thee that Thou hast given me the strength not only to endure all the trouble and tribulation for Thy name, but also to bring many to the knowledge of Thy truth and of the eternal life of Thy kingdom."

12 And while I was still speaking, suddenly a great light shone around me, and I fell to the ground in fear.

13 And a voice came to me, saying:

14 Then spoke to me: "Jovian! I am forgiveness! - therefore do not say: forgive me! You are a seer; and that posterity may also gain from your seership, you shall see what no other eye has ever seen, nor will be able to see; and what you have seen, write down, for it is the living face of all that I have said to you on earth as I walked with you."

15 And as He spoke these words, He was carried away into infinite distances, yet I saw Him in the same size of essence as if He stood by me.

16 Before my eyes already the earth, the firmament, and all that is called the universe of this world had vanished, and behold, I saw the infinity of infinities in all directions, above me, below me, in front, behind, and on the sides - it was to be seen like an infinite sea without water, like glass and yet without substance, as if nothing else were there except Him in the light of His essence, spirit, and life, and all the infinity of infinities penetrated by this light.

17 Then I felt that every sense threatened to vanish from me, for although there was nothing essential outside of Him and the light emanating from Him that penetrated the infinities, the contemplation of such an infinitely exalted size, peace, purity, and holiness through Him made me feel, in the emptiness of the insubstantial, as if I were insubstantial, and as if in a dream, thinking out of myself, I spoke: "Lord! My God! What is this? - How am I to interpret this vision?"

18 And then I heard His voice within me: "Jovian! This is timeless eternity, spaceless infinity, and My world, which I need no space or time for, because I live and am without beginning and without end. You imagine that you see nothing else outside of Me; but I say to you: look closer around you and then tell Me what you see!"

19 And when I looked closer and more closely around me, behold, I saw all kinds of larger, smaller, and smallest, differently shaped objects, like seeds and transparent as glass, so that I could also see that it looked like a grain under the shell - and when I now saw the same things in countless and uncountable quantities further in the distance, I spoke in wonder and as if in a dream, thinking out of myself: "Lord! My God! What is this? - Though these things seem similar to each other, I see their infinite diversity and - oh wonder! - it seems to me as if I see in some of them very small and blurred pictures as of human figures, in others likewise such pictures, but as of all kinds of animals, and in still others other pictures of all kinds of green foliage!"

20 And then I heard His voice again within me: "All that which you see but only a very small particle of, is enclosed with and beside Me in eternal being and eternity, but in eternity and infinity it cannot receive life, because without a specially created world that gives times and spaces, it cannot live, cannot reach the consciousness of its own life and being, cannot recognize itself and cannot exert itself.

21 Therefore it lies fallow, lifeless, undeveloped, meaningless, a seeming of its own being. What you see was once in eternity and you are seeing the psychic-spiritual all the æons of times back, that have flowed away since the beginning that I created for all that is psychic-spiritual, with and beside Me, and enclosed in eternity.

22 All this seed, of which you see such quantities yet not even the very smallest part of the whole, is each in its own eternal being, a seed of psychic shell and spiritual kernel, but without life force; it was and is there, sustained by its being, and because I created the beginning for all of it, it is to receive life from and through Me, so that all that is of psychic and spiritual essence may live and work with Me there.

23 What you see in all of this is the eternal rest, in which I alone was active, so that all of this may remain until the beginning that I have decided to create, and now you shall see how the beginning was created, and seeing you shall grasp the meaning of the word that I say: I am the beginning!

Chapter II

1 And lo! There did I see Him in immeasurable distance, yet again as though within reach, but differently, entirely differently than before; He was indeed the same Christ, our God and Lord, in the same light of His holiest being, spirit, and life, and as before, the same light of infinity penetrated immeasurable distances all over everywhere - but through the light went rays of all sorts of other light, which in His light almost instantly penetrated everywhere into the infinities of distances, and everywhere there I saw movement that was to be seen, as if there light clouds were forming into clouds of all sorts of light spherical together.

2 That did I see above me, below me, on all sides, and thereby I lost the sense of what was above, what below, and what sideways; in heavy confusion I turned my gaze back to Him, and when I saw Him in the distance, yet so close, with raised arms, my senses became clear again.

3 I folded my hands in adoration, but couldn't bring forth a word, for what I saw can't be said in words of any language, described and explained such that a person could make even the shadow of a true conception of it; yet but, because it was said to me: Write down what you have seen and heard! I follow and write, without seeking particular words, because there are none to be found.

4 I saw the working of the holiest being of God particularly, particularly also the radiance of His holy spirit, particularly the working of His life force in His being, in His spirit, and in Its rays, in these however likewise particularly those forces individually and working together, which set the distances of infinity in motion, I saw God creating in His power and I saw how He creates light in light, by His mere will.

5 In this contemplation I forgot to look at what was happening in the distances of infinity, but felt movement around myself, without being able to say what kind it was, and then I heard His voice again within me:

6 Jovian! Look and around yourself, so that you may write what you have seen!

7 And lo! There did I see how clouds of all sorts of light from the distances of infinity, individually ever denser and individually forming into enormously large, smaller, and small spheres, approached closer, radiating their own, different, and various light inward and outward in His light, forming a firmament upward, downward, and on all sides, representing a world that through its own light against the infinity all around was delimited, now in itself was there.

8 Astonished, I saw in amazement this becoming, for on many of the individual world spheres I saw mountains and valleys, rivers and seas, not however like such on earth from stones and from water, for both were indeed also there, but of a completely different nature, light in light, like glass and radiant in the most wonderful colors.

9 And none of the worlds stood still, but slowly one turned around the other in different distances and all together around a center; when I had recognized this, I looked toward this center, and lo, there stood with like blessing raised arms our God and Lord, in His light all the light of the worlds outshining.

10 Unspeakably deeply moved and shaken, I fell to my knees and then suddenly felt that I myself was on the ground of one of the many, many worlds, without knowing how it had come about, and I cried out, whether from joy, whether from bliss, whether from surprise? I don't know, but I lay on my face and sobbing dared not look up, for I felt that He was standing by me, and soon I heard Him speak:

11 Stand up and see what and how it was once further!

12 And when I had stood up, He wiped with the sleeve of His robe the tears from my face and spoke: What you see here, Jovian, is the completion of all My hitherto creating, although the greatest in the completion of all that which is still to come will only in the course of eons of times, which I will create for all souls of cognizant spirit, be completed and accomplished.

13 This here is the true world of My kingdom for all the psychospiritual seed, which you in such great number in the worldless emptiness of infinity lifeless and fallow saw, but whose true amount and manifoldness no one except Me will ever be able to survey and count.

14 It is not fitting that I am and that alone I live, and all the psychic and spiritual be lifeless fallow.

15 I am the eternal truth, the true light, the true eternal life, in My essence and spirit the unchanging, unchangeably equal goodness, love, mercy, forgiveness, justice, and self-sacrifice, and in all that also the beginning, which I create for all souls of cognizant spirit; come with and see what else you have to write.

16 He took me by the hand and, in moments measuring the distances between the individual worlds with me, showed me many worlds, each surpassing the others in beauty and splendor, and I marveled more and more.

17 But He said: If you already find this psychospiritual and lifeless beautiful and splendid, how splendid will you find it then, so there and all that from My life, in myriad manifoldness all psychospiritual beings, animated by Me, and soon you will see it.

18 While He was still speaking, we went further, and there I stood at a stream like water, on whose banks wonderful plants like trees of vines were entwined, but the vines formed weaves like baskets and bowls at different heights; above I saw countless quantities of the most varied, wonderful, and delicious-to-see fruits, from the variously colored, splendid flowers of others, indeed from the leaves of still others, it dripped like milk and honey and fell in larger or smaller drops and grains into the living weave of vines, the bark of still other plants gave all sorts of juices, which immediately became the most variedly shaped formations, like small cakes and breads, again from others flowed clear, as well as manifoldly colored liquid through tube vines into the stream, all of delicious, wonderful appearance and scent.

19 And when I was unable to speak due to wonder, He spoke to me: "This is present in countless ways in all the worlds of My kingdom; these are the rivers and trees of life; these plants too are soul and spirit, made alive by Me, but of a completely different nature than the countless other plants, and I have given them unfailing powers through the workings of all things in the worlds of My kingdom, whose fruit also are the rivers, by which they stand and which will therefore work unfailingly, in all future eternity.

20 Therefore I have created them, so that all the soul-spirit seed that enters these worlds of My kingdom created for this purpose and there receives life from and through My own life force, will immediately then, once it has been given a heavenly body, have nourishment corresponding to that body.

21 And as He was still speaking, He took me by the hand again, and behold, He was standing again in the center of the worlds of His kingdom, I beside Him, and He, raising His hands as if to bless, spoke just one word to me: 'Behold!'

22 And it came to each of the many worlds from all directions like rain, and I saw that it was the seed I had previously seen, which, sparkling like glass and like rain in the light of God and in the light of the worlds of His kingdom, covered the individual worlds, a sight as wonderful as all that I had previously seen; and when it was finished, He took me by the hand and already He stood with me on the ground of one of the next, extremely large world and spoke to me:

23 Stay here and see what no one other than Myself has ever seen, nor will anyone else ever see besides you; it was in eternity, and you alone see now how it was, for you are to write it for the people on earth, so that they may understand the meaning of My word when I say: I am the beginning!"

Chapter III

1 And lo! I saw the fallen seed lying scattered on the ground of the world on which I myself stood, and oh, wonder, all the seed began to stir, to grow, to take on all kinds of shapes and forms, there came from many various green vegetation, from others various animals, and lo, even shapes like humans formed from the shell of many seeds, I felt that powers that I had never before experienced were penetrating me, turned my eyes to the heights and there I saw our God and Lord again standing in the center of the worlds of His kingdom with outstretched hands as if in blessing.

2 And as before, I now saw again the workings of the powers of His most holy essence, especially the workings of His holy spirit, whose radiation, alongside the many other of His powers, each visible in its own light and carrying the rays of His life force, visibly permeated every seed, but soon heard His voice again within me:

3 See the reception of the life of each spirit, which you saw as the core of the shell of each seed, and look how the spirit, by virtue of the life already received from and through Me, continues to work on the enclosing shell; this shell is the essence of the soul, which from eternity contained the fundamental values of its own shape and forms and which now, through the received life, come to development and validity.

4 And when I turned my eyes again to what was stirring around me, I saw that even in each individual being, which was no longer an unnoticeable insignificant seed, the spirit, particularly also the soul body, and again particularly the life, interacted with each other; in the radiance of now their own life force, which was visible as if a light converted into purest water vapor flowed and spurted through the spirit and soul, the spirit of each being also shone, and the spiritual rays penetrated through the life rays the soul body, which growing always more definite forms took, as with all green growth, as well as with the animal forms, and with those that, while forming into human shapes, were more wonderful than such, because they resembled God.

5 Also, from these the rays of their spirit through their soul body far outward went, however only individually and as if swaying back and forth; less, and with some types of animals not at all outwardly radiating, I saw the spirit work, least of all the green growth's, although it was in some giant growth, as well as in some giants of animals, in quantity greater than the spirit of those resembling God in human form.

6 Further, I also saw, as far as I could see, that no two soul bodies, not even of the same kind, were shaped in such a way that I couldn't differentiate them from each other, and also the spirit was in each soul body of the same kind another, in appearance as in its radiance, alone only the life force was in all without exception one and the same, because it was received from and through God.

7 All this I saw, thinking clearly and distinctly, and wondered more and more, for although everything was moving, the green growth was adorned in indescribably beautiful colors, the forms of the animals and the god-like human forms did not grow any further, which let me know that the size of the form, as well as the development of its forms, had been reached, yet it only moved as if in sleep, was like a transparent breath and visible in all sorts of colors like glass, so that I could also see the inner structure of every soul's body, and there I suddenly recognized that although everything is now alive, it knows nothing of its being and life, that it is unconscious and I was so startled by this that I thought I too would have to fall unconscious.

8 But then I heard His voice within me: Jovian! Just as I am triune in My essence, spirit, and life from eternity, so now all of the spiritual and mental seed that has always been with and alongside Me has become triune through the gift of life from and out of Me.

9 If I live in eternity, then all that is spiritual and mental shall also live in all future eternity. As My life is inseparable from My spirit and My spirit is inseparable from My life and My essence, so now the same, My life, is inseparably attached to the essence of all spiritual and mental beings, and not a single one of these triune beings can ever lose the life received from Me.

10 For the spiritual and mental seed as such is inherently indestructible and indestructable; but now, since all that is spiritual and mental carries its life from and out of Me within itself, it has eternal life through Me, it can never more cast it off from itself, even with will, and no one can take it away from another, destroy it, and destroy it - not even I! - because I have given it.

11 You now see what all was hidden in the myriad number and the countless amount of spiritual and mental seed in the manifoldness of essence and spirit, you now see that all this lives, but also that it is unconscious, that it knows nothing of its own being and life; you think that it feels nothing in this state, that it might remain this way and you are startled by this.

12 But I say to you: Every one of the spiritual bodies and bodies feels the forces acting upon it and working within it, all of which not only come from and out of Me, but also in part come from and out of the worlds of this My kingdom created for this purpose and work in the way that I have created and ordered them, so that they also naturally beget one another and all work together to have endurance for all future eternity.

13 If the spiritual bodies and bodies did not feel the workings of all the forces emanating from and out of Me, as well as from and out of the worlds of My kingdom, unconsciously and unknowingly, you would not be able to see any activity in and on them; but since you see this, you should know that all feeling belongs to the spiritual body, but consciousness and will, whose power is according to its own as well as the nature of that spiritual body or body, belong to the spirit, and this is mightily large, smaller, or so small that it cannot appear at all.

14 The spirit, through the influence of life and through the unconsciously felt influence of the forces penetrating it in the spiritual body, would come to consciousness of its own life and being over time, which is created with this beginning created by Me, and through this also its own spiritual body; but as it is in itself, it could not be of any use to the spirit there.

15 Look at all of these forms that are similar to Me, but also to you; you have seen and also recognized on your own that the spirit of these is completely different in appearance and completely different in essence than the spirit of animals, and this is again different than the spirit of plants.

16 The spirit of these spiritual forms similar to Me and you is capable of knowledge, but all other spirit is not; this capable spirit does indeed also show - as you see - great and very great differences, but it remains and remains capable of knowledge, and it also possesses greater, great, or smaller creative ability.

17 In eternity and infinity, he would never have found his way around; but here, in the world of My kingdom created for him, he will soon find his way around and in the created itself also want to create on his own. But if the spiritual body, which is his own, remains as it is now, every thought that arises in images through the mutually complementary workings of the soul, spirit, and life in the face of what is present would always only remain a thought and a spiritual-mental image and could never be realized outwardly.

18 Therefore, the spiritual body must partly assume a body from the soul-, spirit-, and life-less things and forces, but also partly from the living things created for this purpose, which, adapted to the essence of the worlds of My kingdom, makes the soul able to not only see, hear, and touch all that is created and present, but also to create within and from it and to be able to effectively and tangibly realize what arises spiritually and mentally in thoughts and images and is also to be created visible, audible, and tangible for others.

19 My kingdom is the kingdom of heaven, and all spiritual bodies and bodies must each receive a heavenly body or body according to their nature; the green growth will receive its heavenly body from the ground and from the heights above the worlds themselves, provision has also been made for the eternal preservation of the heavenly body of animals, as especially for the heavenly body of My children through that creation which you see at the waters and at the trees of life.

20 With a heavenly body and body, the spiritual body of every living being is to be adorned by Me from now on for all future eternity, in the heavenly body all that is now living is to rise to consciousness of its own life and being, and My children, whom I will call angels, will recognize Me as the Father of all life.

21 They will not know any becoming or passing away of the spiritual-mental-living in the worlds of this My heavenly kingdom, and therefore will not ask about any beginning, and only through the word spoken to them about this beginning will they feel the meaning, as I say: I am the beginning!

Chapter IV

1 I heard a soft whisper above me, below me in the ground of the world on which I stood, from all directions, felt a movement like a gentle wind and looked up into the heights, where He still stood with outstretched hands in indescribably wonderful radiant light of His holiest being and spirit.

2 Worshipfully I raised my hands to Him, but He said: Look around you, for you are to describe what is happening around you!

3 Then I looked around at all the beings of soul, spirit, and life lying and moving like they were asleep, and behold, I saw the spiritual form of their being penetrated by rays emanating from the ground, the waters, and the tree of life of the worlds of the kingdom of God, and thus I immediately recognized that all this is caused by the rays of His holy spirit that I saw particularly in the others.

4 I heard a soft whisper above me, below me in the ground of the world where I stood, from all directions, I felt a movement like a gentle breeze and looked up into the heights where He stood, still with outstretched hands, in indescribably wonderful, radiant light of His holiest being and spirit. And, worshipping, I raised my hands to Him, but He spoke: Look around you, for the happening around you you should describe! Then I looked around at all the soul, spirit, and life beings that were lying and moving as if in sleep and, behold, I saw the soul form of their being pervaded by rays emanating from the ground, the waters and life trees of the realms of God's kingdom. And thus I immediately recognized that all of this was caused by the rays of His holy spirit that I saw particularly in the others. All of the soul forms that had previously been like a breath and transparent as glass became denser, as if becoming flesh and blood, but not like earthly flesh and blood, rather immeasurably elevated, pure, wondrous in appearance, for although the soul body and corporal form assumed a heavenly body and corporal form, both were particularly visible in and of themselves, the eternal soul body, as well as the received heavenly body, like one and the same and yet visibly different - and I didn't know where to look first or what to admire more, whether the beauty and purity of the plants, or that of the animals, or the children of God - I couldn't grasp it.

5 Suddenly, however, I saw everything that was not green and blooming vegetation open its eyes and stand on its feet - bliss, joy, and peace on its face, despite the astonished glances that were all directed at Him who stood in indescribably wonderful light of His power in the middle of the firmament of the world of His heavenly kingdom.

6 I saw a gentle rustling above me and beneath me in the ground on which I stood, coming from all directions, and I felt a movement like a light wind. And I looked up into the heights, where He still stood with outstretched hands for blessing, in immeasurable and wonderfully radiant light of His holiest being and spirit. I lifted my hands in worship to Him, but He spoke: "Look around you, for you are to describe what is happening around you." So I looked around at all the souls, spirits, and lives that lay as if in sleep and moved, and behold, I saw the spiritual form of their being penetrated by rays that came forth from the ground, the waters, and the tree of life of the realms of God's kingdom. And thus, I immediately recognized that all of this was caused by the rays of His holy spirit, which I saw particularly in the others. All the spiritual forms that had previously been like a breath and transparently translucent became denser, as if they were becoming flesh and blood, but not like earthly flesh and blood, rather infinitely elevated, pure, and wonderful in appearance. For even though the spiritual body and form assumed a heavenly body and form, both were visibly distinct from one another, yet both were also visibly the same - and I did not know where to look first or what to admire more, the beauty and purity of the plants, the animals, or the children of God - I was overwhelmed. Suddenly, I saw all that was not green and blooming growth open its eyes and stand on its feet - with joy, happiness, and peace on its face, despite the amazed glances that all turned toward Him, who stood in immeasurable and wonderful light of His power in the midst of the firmament of the world of His heavenly kingdom. Then He opened His mouth, and I saw in the light rays of His all-present, everywhere-shining spirit, new power rays, particularly rays that carried His spoken word. And I saw these rays of His word enter the spirit and spiritual body of His children, alive in their heads, alive in living understanding, and then many countless hands rose up to Him, and from the mouth of all the hordes of His children came the word to Him: God!

7 Then did I fall down on my knees, bury my face in my hands, and see in my mind's eye the first words of His holy gospel written by me on earth: Before all beginning was God, (who is) His eternal being, spirit, and word of life. The word of God was alone in God, and God was the word! But the word of God was alone in God only before the beginning, for when God through His word created all things of the true world of His kingdom and there gave to all beings with spirit the life of His own eternal power, every understanding spirit spoke the word of God to Him, and that was the beginning.

8 Now did I see this beginning, saw what and how it was before the beginning, now did I know by the sighted power what the soul, the spirit, and the life is, how the lifeless of the being of the soul and the spirit became alive, from whom it received the life and the power of consciousness, how the true world of the kingdom of God, the heaven kingdom, is, and unspeakably shaken and deeply seized by awe, I began to adore my face and my hands to Him!

9 But he spoke from the heights of the celestial firmament and his holiest word sounded clearly and distinctly in the ears of his children, whom he called angels, as if he were with each one personally, and I marveled at the expressions and the looks on the faces of his children, seeing that they each understood his words just as I did, who was even more astonished and amazed that I, too, understand each word of his language vividly, for surely his language has many sounds spoken in the languages of people on earth and even words in which various other meanings are placed there.

10 I recognized that his language remains the language of his celestial kingdom, and now I also knew where all the languages of people on earth come from, which all, without exception, in their essence contain the same or at least more or less similar sounds, syllables, and even words of that language that is from and of God.

11 Furthermore, God spoke of the celestial nourishment of the soul, capable of understanding, through his word, which dwells within the light and life, then also of the celestial nourishment, drink, and food for the celestial body of his children, which is prepared in unnumbered variety and endlessly in the fruits and juices of the trees of life by the waters.

12 While he still spoke at length, as if in teachings, the essence of his holiest form became increasingly radiant in the light of his holy spirit, until only the indescribably and inconceivably wonderful light remained - and once again countless hands rose up before him, and once again the holiest word sounded from the mouths of all the hosts of his children, like a roar: God!

13 But I heard his voice once again within me: Look at everything so that you can write! What you are now seeing in the life and work of all these of my children has lasted for eons of time, for which, looking back, even the greatest spirit among all these of my angels finds neither sense nor understanding, and no clear concept, even though time was also created with the beginning that you are now seeing.

14 And behold, I saw among the children of God various different faces and differences in the color not only of their souls but also of their celestial bodies; also, some among the hosts resembled one another in facial features and color and were smaller than others, indeed not a few were as small as children, and I saw in their souls and spirit that they had a childlike temperament, which they revealed through their speech, questions, expressions of wonder and joy, as well as through their striving to imitate the actions of the greater and greatest.

15 I also saw the same to a greater extent and in greater numbers among all kinds of animals, and there I first recognized the infinitely great differences in the nature of the soul and spirit of one and the same host of their own kind, although much less so among the animals than rather among the children of God.

16 There was no male and female in the sense of sexual (reproduction), and the beauty of all - especially in the almost infinite variety of the appearance of the forms in their purity - was equally wonderful among the children of God, as well as among the animals and even more so than among these in the glorious splendor among the greening and blooming plants.

17 And I saw hosts of the children of God eating and drinking at the waters by the trees of life, and it seemed to me that perhaps their celestial body had become even more beautiful and glorious; also, later on I noticed that all the variety of nourishment, food, and drink that emerges from the trees and vessels at the waters in all kinds of wonderful ways is of the purest nature, because it does not produce slag and waste in the body and also does not bring about any kind of overindulgence.

18 Presently, not a few people here and there began to speak, and hosts gathered around them to listen, and I already saw what great spirits these speakers and preachers are, for I saw the rays of their spirit far and wide, indeed with some even beyond the boundaries of the worlds of the kingdom of God into infinity - and there I marveled at how similar the radiance of many a spirit is to the radiance of the holy spirit of God and how similar they are to him through this.

19 Of course, it is a similarity that must so to speak be sought and arbitrarily also found; for as soon as I vividly evoked comparisons within me between the radiance, light, and life of the holy spirit of God and the greatest spirit among his children, I immediately recognized that the similarity is quite distant, because the radiance of the holy spirit of God penetrates everywhere at the same time and continually, is omnipresent, and carries radiances within itself that in such a degree and in such diversity among themselves and working together are not characteristic of any other spirit.

20 I did indeed see similar powers in the radiance of many a great spirit among his children to those that are characteristic of the holy spirit of God, but in comparison with these I saw the infinite difference especially in their strength; also, I recognized that many powers that are characteristic of the holy spirit of God are lacking in the great and even the greatest spirit among his children.

21 The radiance of their spirit does indeed penetrate into infinity, but always only laterally, like a jet of water bounded, always only in one, if also ever-changing direction, whereby the jet, reaching the distances, wavers like seeking and like powerless and trembling if it finds no point of support that gives it a firm foundation - and if the spirit continually seeks to forcibly impose this support on itself without this actually being present, its radiance and, through this, not only itself but also, because it is inseparably bound to the soul body and works in it, brings the soul body into suffering, goes astray.

22 This knowledge has been given to me through a memory of the earthly life of the people of great spirit that has been vividly taken in by me, who want to create great things, also create them in their way, erring heavily, and through the apparent greatness of their creation also mislead countless others.

23 But then I heard his voice within me: Jovian! You shall see and describe the life, work, and creation of my children in my kingdom, for what was on earth, is, and will further happen, you shall therefore see! Look at my peace in my kingdom, which animates everything that carries life from and through me.

Chapter V

1 And I opened mine eyes, and lo! I was no longer upon the ground of one of the many, many worlds of the heavenly kingdom of God, but stood in His light amidst the firmament of heaven and saw all the worlds individually, both the closer and the further and furthest ones, and yet all so near as if I could grasp them or reach them with a single step.

2 Many of the worlds were of immense size, others smaller, still others smaller yet, but all had their own light, which was different, entirely different from the light of the holiest essence, spirit and life of God, and at once I recognized that the light of the worlds and the firmament of the heavenly kingdom consists of the meeting of the rays of the holy Spirit of God with the rays emanating from the worlds of His kingdom and is infinitely more wonderful than all the light of the suns, which can blind, scorch and burn, all of which is foreign and far removed from the wonderful light of the kingdom of heaven.

3 And again, after this contemplation, I was distracted and reminded of the earth, for on many of the immense and smaller worlds, much looked similar to the earth, only infinitely more beautiful, wondrous, pure and sublime, the glorious plant kingdom, the wonderfully beautiful animal kingdom and the sublime purity of the children of God.

4 These are also not bound to a specific world of the kingdom of heaven as humans are to the earth, but can, at will, move from one to any other, and can also take animals and plants with them, for the animal kingdom follows the children of God - it is the peace of heaven.

5 But should a child of God wish to visit all the worlds of the kingdom of God and learn of all their regions, it would not be possible even in eons of time, for the number of worlds is an exceedingly great one.

6 The heavenly body and physique of plants, animals and children of God is as inviolable as their spiritual body and physique, and no thing in the worlds of the heavenly kingdom can in any way trouble, injure or make them sick, for it is tougher and in its own way firmer than all the soulless, spiritless and lifeless things there, whereby the creation in and from them does not require an excess of force.

7 All creation, action and all activity in the worlds of the kingdom of God occurs solely and exclusively for the joy of creation, for the joy of all others who find greater joy in it and not in some other creation, whereby creation takes shape in manifold ways and is continually reinvented by the greatest and grandest spirits in different and new ways.

8 Therefore, I saw and heard the children of God creating in the worlds of His kingdom and, without wanting to, was reminded of the creation and creations of humans on earth, and once again thoughts arose within me to make comparisons, since much of the creation of humans on earth was similar to the creation of the children of God in His kingdom.

9 But soon I recognized the almost infinite difference between the creation and creations of the children of God in the worlds of His kingdom and those of humans on earth, for the very purpose of creation and all activity of the children of the kingdom of heaven is infinitely far removed from the purposes of creation of humans on earth, for much of the creation and many of the creations of humans on earth are dark and evil, as they also serve dark, evil and even devilish purposes, whereas all creation, all activity and all creations of the children of God in His kingdom are pure, sublime, light, good and wonderful, in the greatest as well as the smallest, most insignificant and childlike things, which are all created solely for the purpose of not only pleasing each other in every way, but above all else, to bring joy to God.

10 Let no one say that God the Lord, who in His eternal Trinity of His holiest essence, His all-present holy spirit and inexhaustible life is most perfect and, due to this His eternal holy Trinity, unchanging and invariable, does not know joy and therefore also no sorrow, for only one who does not know God can fall into such grave error.

11 If joy and sorrow are felt by the imperfect and most imperfect beings of soul, spirit and life to the extent of their constitution, then the simplest healthy reason must recognize on its own that God also feels joy and sorrow and that, due to His highest perfection, no measure can ever be found for how He feels joy and sorrow.

12 And as I saw in the worlds of His heavenly kingdom, creations of His children in clothing, buildings, statues, pictures, and countless other things, among these also all sorts of ones that produce music, and as I heard the music and singing, all sorts of dancing and all sorts of play, I had to think again of the people on Earth, and then the realization came to me, from whence so many people bring to Earth that which is there called innate ability, disposition, talent, and gift.

13 In all this watching, listening, and thinking, it seemed to me as if eons of time had passed since I saw the eternity and infinity before the beginning, the creation of God, and the beginning created by Him for all the spiritual and mental seed present with and alongside Him, and everything seemed even more beautiful, more splendid, and more wonderful to me than it was at the beginning.

14 Again and again, in the light amidst the heavenly firmament, God appeared in the power of His holiest essence, spoke to His angels, as He called His children, and always those gathered around Him, whose spirit is great, greater, because it is more penetrating in its radiance and equipped with powers that are not inherent to the spirit of others, and they received from Him teachings, instructions, and pointers towards ever new activity, towards ever new creation, so that they, even instructed in all knowledge, may be models for all those who are unable to create something new on their own and therefore must also be guided and led further.

15 The far, far superior majority of God's children, in order to create in and out of the things created by God in the worlds of His kingdom, had to similarly access, as the human must in creating earthly things; however, there were and are, particularly among those children of the kingdom of God who, as already pointed out, are of great and greater spirit than most others, not a few who, in order to create from the existing any, initially mentally-spiritually-pictorially thought works and things now also for others, do not always have to create everything with their hands, because much arises or undergoes desired transformation and transformation through the powers carried in the radiance of their spirit according to its own will.

16 Of the children of God equipped with such creative powers of their spirit, there have been and are many, and again individual ones among them, in such a measure that their creation through them is wonderful and is seen as a miracle by all those who lack such powers.

17 God called all His children without exception angels; but these, seeing the penetrating spirit, the creative powers of many among them, and the wonderful works and things that resulted, called such ones out of their own: Great angels, and I also saw that they are truly to be called great by virtue of their own such spirit; but I also saw that even all the wonderfulness of their powers, their creation, their works, and their abilities taken together and multiplied a thousandfold does not even yield a shadow of the creative power of God and cannot be compared with His power, in which He created the most wonderful, the worlds of His heavenly kingdom, out of the emptiness of infinity - and the beginning: The resurrection of all the essence of the soul and spirit from lifeless, eternal seeming to eternal being and life!

18 I saw in seeing eons of time pass into eternity, and yet the most distant event of the farthest past was to be felt as if it were the day before yesterday, yesterday, and would be today; every time, as God had spoken in the form of His holiest essence in the light of His power, the Great angels gathered around Him lifted their hands to Him and, turning towards all directions of the worlds of His kingdom, they cried out with one voice: Yes - Ave - Rah - Gotodin - Deaus - Amen!

19 And like a roar, the call of His children came back from all the worlds of the heavenly kingdom and penetrated from one world to another, and each of them understood in living feeling its meaning, which translates as: He - Holy - Creator - Father of life - Eternal - God!

Chapter VI

1 Then one of the Great angels, who stand closest to God the Lord by virtue of their spirit, came and said: Jovian, come with me and see!

2 And he led me into one of the largest worlds of the heavenly kingdom, where some others of his kind were gathered, who were writing names of the children of God in a large book, and when I looked at him questioningly, he spoke: This is the book of life, and similar books with names of the angels of God are created in every world of His kingdom, which we were instructed to do by Him for all of us.

3 And as he saw my amazement and my questioning of what he had said, he spoke: Because none of us can oversee what happens in all the worlds of the kingdom of God, therefore those of us who have chosen a specific world for this purpose work in each individual one, and just as many of us did not notice that an event is underway which will have completely unknown and completely foreign consequences for us, so it has also escaped you in seeing the life and creation of the children of God.

4 Now, however, since we have also received further instructions and teachings from God Himself, we know much about it, even though we cannot fully explain it, since all of this, as I already told you, is completely incomprehensible, unknown, and foreign to us. But come and see for yourself!

5 And immediately he stood with me on a mountain in one of the outermost worlds of the heavenly kingdom, and there he pointed with his hand in the direction of the emptiness of the distance.

6 I looked, but for a while I could only see the emptiness itself; then I saw something in the seemingly endless distance like a small, dark cloud, from which it emerged like a dark, sulphur-yellow smoke, and already I also saw a number of the children of God, how they were either moving in small and larger groups in the same direction or returning, and astonished, but also very frightened at the same time, I noticed that none of them were pure (!) children of God anymore.

7 Then the Great Angel took me by the hand and pointed all around at other mountains and the valleys between them, and I saw large crowds of the children of God assembled, from each world of His kingdom a small crowd, and soon I recognized that they were being fetched from there, for already I saw how some arrived with new small groups and, with their hands pointing in the direction of what I had previously seen, spoke urgently to them; and I could not interpret all of this.

8 The one standing with me seized me, turned me back in the direction of the distant events, and there I saw one approaching, in whom I recognized, despite his heavily altered appearance, one of those Great Angels who, by virtue of their powerfully great spirit and the powers in their radiation, are closest to God.

9 Around him and in pursuit of him came a crowd, as if huddled together, and when he had reached the border of the light of the worlds of the Kingdom of God, he stood there with the crowd; but I could not tell if he did not want to go further himself or if he could not go further; but there he lifted his hands, as he had seen countless times before to the Lord God, opened his mouth, and with a voice that echoed far and wide, also reaching the crowds gathered on the mountains and in the valleys, he cried out:

10 You are mine! And my strength is with you! You shall see a new, my creation, inhabit and live a different life in a different creation!

11 In fear of death, I held onto the one standing next to me, for with horror I saw the crowd around him raise their hands and, shivering as if in fever, I heard them cry out to him: Yes - Ave! - Yes - Ave! - Yes - navim Rah! The Holy One! The Holy One! The new Creator!

12 And as the same cry also sounded from the mouths of many of those gathered on the mountains and in the valleys around, the Great Angel spoke with sorrow: Come!

13 And immediately he was standing with me in the great world, where he had previously allowed me to see the Book of Life; there he discussed with many of his kind the recent events that had been seen before many assembled crowds, and immediately many were sent out to the worlds around to warn all the children of God about the Great Door and Great Speaker as well as his own and to hasten the warning to all the worlds of the Kingdom of God.

14 I had also previously noticed a movement in the heavenly Kingdom among  the Angels of God here and there that was different and acted differently in its creation than before, but given the generally prevailing blessed peace, I had assigned it no significance; now, however, I felt and knew that this holy peace was seriously threatened, and standing alone again, trembling and thinking to myself, I wondered what will become of this.

15 As I was thinking, I suddenly looked up, for in the light in the middle of the firmament, God the Lord appeared in the holiest essence of His power, and already the crowds of Great Angels were gathering around Him from all the worlds of His Kingdom; and when they were assembled, He spoke:

16 All My children, whom I call My Angels, listen to My word, and those who hear it and want to continue acting as before will also continue to show that they are Mine, My children, My Angels, and that My life and My Kingdom are their property from and through Me.

17 After the passage of many eons of time of a blessedly peaceful life and creation, one of the Angels who, by virtue of his spirit, was closest to Me, one who no longer wants to be close to Me but intends to become My adversary, has begun a creation outside the worlds of My Kingdom, which was also created by Me for him, a creation that is directed against all My creation and therefore also against Mine, against all of you. 

18 Having become arrogant and haughty through his knowledge of his abilities, he seeks not only to rise above all those whose powers and abilities far surpass his own, but also above Me, who also gave him life from and through My own life force; he speaks great words about his abilities, his power, his will, and his desire to create, but in doing so he deceives himself and all those who give ear and belief to his great words.

19 My children, as My Angels, do not know the spiritual and mental darkness of lies, wickedness, and also error, and therefore neither this nor the consequences of all this can be explained to them in a way that they can grasp and understand; they can only be shown the bliss and peace of their previous life and creation, which has lasted for eons of time, with the reminder that for all it is the highest attainable, in which they should remain, continuing to create in blessed peace.

20 You here with Me are of great spirit, and you know that I Myself and you after Me, have reasoned with and given explanations to that Angel who is turning away more and more from Me and from you, about where such a creation, which he has already undertaken, will inevitably lead him himself, as well as all those who follow him and actively participate in such a creation.

21 I have told him that by his creation, which is the exact opposite of My creation, and which no one in the worlds of My Kingdom can erect, he will repudiate himself and become a Schadain (Satan) if he does not hold introspection and abandon his begun creation.

22 He has not yet completely repudiated himself, he is not yet the Schadain, the one who repudiates himself, there is still much missing, but he has already come so far that he perceives the light of My essence and spirit, as well as the light of the worlds of My Kingdom, as oppressive to him; he has already lost much of his former heavenly body by accepting what he found outside My Kingdom, and therefore cannot enter any of the worlds of My Kingdom, because he feels that the ground there no longer supports him.

23 He already lets himself be admired by those of My children who find pleasure in his grandiloquence, his creation, and who, like him, are turning away more and more from Me and from you: Yes - Ave! Yes - Ave! they cry out, which would mean nothing else if he wanted to see this acclaim of holiness also in you and in all My Angels, because you are all sanctified by Me!

24 But now, as he gives the appearance to those he has deceived that this cry belongs to no one else but him alone, he denies Me, My creation, all of you, My Kingdom, and because he does it despite his own better knowledge, he has become a liar and hypocrite and has thereby created within himself powers, qualities that, among all the foreign and unknown qualities of the soul and spirit to you, which are dark and low, are the darkest and lowest.

25 But still he could become again of good will the same as he has been for eons of time with and beside you, with and beside Me and you; still he could come, for I Myself would and will help him, but he does not want My help and his free will remains eternally to him as to all of you.

26 And because he does not want to come to Me, to the eternal testimony and knowledge, I say to you, I want to go with you to him and speak with him again!

27 And behold, immediately He stood with the crowd of Great Angels on that  mountain from which one of His own showed me the creation of the one who has turned away from God and his crowd previously.

28 I saw great crowds of the children of God come from all the worlds of His heavenly Kingdom, and it seemed like a tremendous uproar in the innumerable crowds, although even greater ones have remained in their worlds, continuing to create peacefully, as if they knew nothing of all this.

29 And behold, there I saw the dark creator of the unprecedented newness, who has turned away from God and His own, and he stood with his crowd there where I first saw him standing at the border of the light of the heavenly Kingdom; alone the crowd of His own was much, much more numerous than before there, as well as the crowd of their own kind, who were still gathered in  the valleys and on the mountains around and ready to join him. 

30 But now God the Lord raised His hands and, looking, spoke to the darkly gazing creator of the unprecedented newness: Just as everything that once existed only as a spiritual and mental seed before the beginning created by Me and now lives and works in My created Kingdom has received life from and through Me, so also you, who know that you carry My life within you!

31 But when he was spoken to, the face of the one so addressed became even more dark, and, without looking at the Lord God, but rather half turned to his own, he spoke: "That I do not know, but this I know: that I live eternally and none of us can remember a beginning, but rather that we are and live. 

32 And as he spoke, those standing near him cried out: "Yes - Hail! Yes - Hail!" 

33 But now the Lord God spoke: "You are lost, and your own with you! I have come to move you to repentance and to save you, like all of your own that you lead into ruin, like yourself. 

34 I have seen this happen for eternity and know that every one of my words spoken to you is in vain, but I do it for the eternal testimony of all of my own who have not yet known what falsehood and wickedness is, but now see and hear it generated in and from you; I have told you that you will reject yourself, a shadow, one who rejects himself, you will become! But now you have already come so far and are lost, along with your own!"

35 The wicked and darkened adversary, still half turned to his own, twisted his face as if in laughter, and spoke as mockingly as fiercely: "No one is lost who is not satisfied with this creation, with this life, and with this creation, and who goes with me, I who know how to create something else and create my own kingdom in which I will create something entirely different and live entirely differently with my own, than in this imperfect creation, which makes it impossible to create as I want! 

36 And as he spoke, his crowd cried out to him anew with raised hands: "Yes - Hail! Yes - Navim Rah!" 

37 But the Lord God spoke: "The worlds of my kingdom, created for all that is spiritual and living through me, give the smallest as well as the greatest spirit among my angels the means to create everything that is pure, good, and sublime, that gives him and all others joy, that continually revives and maintains the blessedness of peace in all and in each anew."

38 "Neither the smallest nor the greatest spirit will ever be able to exhaust the infinitely many kinds of this creation; and thus, creating in my, as well as in the light of the worlds and all things of my kingdom from the beginning, for æons of times, my angels know no darkness of falsehood and wickedness, no oppression, no suffering and pain, no haughtiness, no pride, no hypocrisy, and nothing of what is also infinitely foreign to me and stands infinitely far from me, although I have known for eternity that all of this, along with all fruit, will be brought forth and called into life in and from that one standing there, who, despite his own better knowledge, openly denies before his own, whom he has already corrupted like himself, that he has also received his life from me.

39 But for the eternal testimony of him and his crowd, as well as all of my angels, I call out to him again: it is not I who send you away, it is not I who drive you out of the worlds of my kingdom, but solely your will, your desire, and your decision to be called God by your own, like I am by my angels, one of whom you have also been for so long, but who now turn against me, against my own, and against my kingdom in falsehood and wickedness."

40 "You build upon your own powers, but you overestimate yourself and them infinitely, and you will be very, very disappointed by your own creation, which will make you and your own sink ever deeper and think of ever more reprehensible means in order to assert yourselves and stand, but the fruit of all of that will be nothing other than your own oppression, unquenchable hatred against all and everything that is mine, and a life full of unrest, darkness, misfortune, and torment. 

41 See! Among my own, to whom you have been able to count yourself among for æons of times, there are many and very many who have those powers you put everything in to in a hundred- and thousandfold measure more, and yet they remain with me, in the face of my power, in eternal truth, in true light, and in true eternal life - but you have not stood in truth!"

42 Then the tempter of the children of God, the shadow - Satan, turned fully to his own and cried out: "Hear me alone! He alone wants to be called and worshiped as God, and speaks only out of envy, because he knows that he and none of his own can ever create what I create and will create; therefore I am the creator of the unprecedented new, and I will create a kingdom with you that has no equal, and you will not only call me the Holy, the new creator, but God!" 

43 I have recognized you in your spirit among all the inhabitants of this kingdom, and therefore also chosen that you are my own and I am your God! 

44 And as he spoke, he also turned to those standing on the mountains and in the valleys of that world, as I, brought there for the first time by the angel, saw them standing there, and who were now even more numerous.

Chapter VII

1 But the company that stood with him lifted their hands and cried to the company of their like, still standing in the kingdom of God in the world: Yea - Ave! Yea - navim Rah! Yea - us - Amen! 

2 And in the same cry, the company of those still standing in the light of the world also fell, screaming to join the company already standing around the shadow; but many seized others who did not belong to them and sought to forcibly drag them along; however, many of the great angels were already there, lifting their hands and releasing those who had been seized, and the violent ones rushed, as if in a frenzy, to the company of he whom they had cried out to as the holy, new creator, and our God. 

3 Then this one turned again to the worlds of the kingdom of God, threateningly lifted his fists, and a word unfamiliar and incomprehensible to the children of God came from his mouth: "Anutem", meaning: Cursed! And turning away again, he pointed with his hand to those deep distant places where it stood like a dark cloud, smoking with a sulfur-colored smoke, and at the head of his companies he went with them.

4 And it was as if a giant dragon was being drawn along with countless, writhing and swift, enormous limbs like crab legs reaching out for prey, and like a countless-headed hydra, ravenously searching for and greedily swallowing any unknown and foreign things found by the children of God.

5 Countless companies of the children of God looked on in paralyzing horror as the procession went by, many with greater or lesser curiosity, but most turned immediately to God the Lord, standing in holy calm, but with an indescribably deep pain and immeasurably deep grief in His holiest face.

6 Then the great angel closest to Him, whose face looked very, very familiar to me, approached Him and, bending his knees, took His hand and pressed it silently to his face in pain; another great angel also did the same, but soon looked up at Him and spoke:

7 Lord! Father of all life, our God! By Your holy spirit, You are all-knowing; therefore, You knew and knew of the wicked adversary and liar and all those who became like him, and knew what they would become over the course of the time created by You for us; now we ask You, in the face of all of Your children, to tell us:

8 Could You not have allowed him, or all of them, to remain as they were before the beginning created by You for us, lifeless as mere spiritual and mental seed? Could You not have left them where they were and as they were? Would this not have spared You, Lord, all of us, and themselves this sad event?

9 But God the Lord spoke: Despite your great and penetrating spirit, and the many aeons of time you have now lived with Me, you still do not grasp much and will not until everything that must happen for the eternal testimony and true knowledge of My all-knowing spirit has happened.

10 Indeed, I could have allowed this one who became Satan and all of his own to remain as they were before the beginning; but since they were there as spiritual and mental seed, they were essentially there, and it would and could not have remained hidden from all of you for long that they are there, and you would all soon approach Me with the question of why, why, and how this seed, in which you unmistakably recognize the undeveloped image of your own spiritual and mental being, has remained this way.

11 Like him and his own, you are not bound to the worlds of My kingdom; and since your gaze also extends far beyond the light boundary of My kingdom into infinity, their being as mere seed would also not remain hidden from you forever - and tell Me yourself, what answer could I have ever given you to your question of why I excluded those from life, when you now see and hear only the beginning, the start, and the outbreak of lies and wickedness, but do not know their nature, their power, fruit, and the consequences further, since you are of good will in My spirit and full of My peace.

12 I would have had to explain to you why I would have excluded those, I would have had to speak to you of the darkness of the soul and spirit, of lies, wickedness, hatred, envy, pride, conceit [similar meaning to: arrogance], seduction, temptation, revenge, destruction greed, and the like, distant, unknown, and foreign to you, which you now hear named by Me in words, but still do not yet have an understanding of their meaning, even though you have seen and heard the outbreak of lies and wickedness in and on its creator.

13 Unfortunately, it will not remain at that alone; and only the successive events will clarify for you in time that you will not have to ask Me; you know now that I am the eternal truth, the true light, the true eternal life, and in these the goodness and love, because you feel all of this in the soul; but if I say that I am also the unchanging, unchangeable mercy, forgiveness, justice, and self-sacrifice, you listen to these words incomprehensively because the opposite is unknown and foreign to you, even though a hint of it may rise in you in the face of the very sad event.

14 However, the further events will explain everything better than words; but now go into the worlds of My kingdom and count those who have turned against Me, whose names are struck from the book of life, and speak to those of My angels who are still Mine, but seized by curiosity to consider what they have heard and pass on among themselves that he will create what I can never create, and in which he is right, for I cannot create a realm of the pit of hellish darkness, since I alone create the blessed peace of eternal life in the true eternal life for all of My own in My heavenly kingdom.

15 And immediately He was again in the midst of the firmament of the worlds of His kingdom, the two great angels holding His hands before, one to His right, the other to His left, in the light of His holiest being and spirit, surpassing all the light of His kingdom, and His word penetrated all the worlds as He opened His mouth and spoke: My peace be with you!

16 But I, Jovian, lay collapsed and as if in a fever at the place from where the angel had previously shown me the creation of Satan; then a hand touched me and when I looked up, I saw the same angel who took me by the hand and spoke:

17 Come, so that you may learn the number of those who have rebelled against God the Lord and gone to ruin with the shadow.

18 We do not yet fully interpret the meaning of the word "ruin," but we feel in shuddering that it must be the opposite of our life and work and somehow also directed against ourselves; the number of the corrupted, whose names were found struck from the books of life, have been counted, while you were in agony like in unconsciousness, but it has already been recognized that far more than thirty thousand of the children of God by far does not come close to those who have gone with the corruptor.

19 And when we came into the greatest of worlds, I saw many at the books brought from all the other worlds, and soon I heard the number of those who have gone to ruin, and there were one hundred and forty-four thousand from one hundred and forty-four thousand worlds, and the total number increased tenfold by the unequal numbers from the other worlds of the heavenly kingdom; those who counted spoke the number in words as a total number, which I could not remember.

20 But alone, I heard that despite this enormous number, the number of those remaining in the heavenly kingdom of God is still far, far greater than a thirty thousandfold, for in many worlds of the kingdom of God, more than thirty thousand of those who remained came to one who went with Satan, and in many other worlds, one such was counted on forty thousand, and in yet other worlds, also on fifty thousand remained. And I rejoiced that the number of those who remained in the kingdom of God in the words told to me is almost unspeakably large, for it has also been told to me; but I had better sense to represent it to myself in my own way of counting, and now I thought that after the departure of Satan with the corrupted angels, the peace and bliss of all the children of God will be as undisturbed as it has been for eons of time before.

21 But soon I realized that things were quite different, for new crowds were always standing up with questions to the angels of greater and great spirit, why and for what reason they should not see and not also go to the creation of the Creator of the unheard new, why the same is not also created in the worlds of the kingdom of God; the curiosity of many became ever greater, and already voices arose here and there that spoke the word of the outrage of Satan and his against God with the questions, what kind of new way is it that wants to hinder a great and powerful spirit at a new, great creation, and already crowds were gathering in and around that world of the heavenly kingdom, from where they had listened a short time before to the words of Satan and seen the departure of the great dragon.

22 They looked for the previously seen dark cloud, but did not see it; but it seemed to them that a shadow from there would stretch out through the emptiness of infinity to the border of the light of the kingdom of God, and already some cried out: See, look, is this not perhaps the way that the Creator of the new kingdom marked out for us with his own?

23 And when this was spoken, many rose to leave the world of the kingdom of  God in this direction, and new crowds were always coming, crying out as in an uproar, each speaking something different and many striving aimlessly back and forth.

24 Many others, however, pointed with their hands in the direction of the center of the heavenly firmament, where God the Lord stood in the all-overwhelming light of His holiest essence and spirit in the midst of the crowds of His great angels, speaking with them, and there was a moment of quiet among the agitated crowds.

25 Then I saw how God the Lord raised His hands as if to bless the angels kneeling before Him, and as they stood upright again, they turned their faces in all directions of the worlds of the heavenly kingdom, and their cry of praise to God sounded from their mouths, repeated by the children of God in all the worlds of His kingdom and echoing to Him.

26 But among the assembled crowds of the quelled uproar, there were many who no longer joined in the cry of praise to God, and even asked each other and the others whether the cry of praise should not perhaps or even more so be directed at the one who promised to create something greater than the kingdom of heaven, and unrest grew again; many behaved like fools and the uproar grew great as the first great crowd rose and began to hasten towards the border of the light of the kingdom of God, followed by large numbers of all kinds of animals accustomed to them.

27 Then some great angels and other children of God, who had remained pure in their soul and spirit, approached this crowd and sought to persuade them through kindly entreaties, by pointing to the bliss of peace, life, and creation in the kingdom of God, and also by pointing to repentance and return, that no one knows and no one can know what awaits them outside the heavenly kingdom, in the worldless emptiness of infinity.

28 It already seemed as if many would reflect and return, but this was promptly thwarted by the shouting of many undisciplined ones, who shouted at the others: We will not stay in the worldless emptiness, but rather enter the kingdom of the new great creator; and if it is not there as he spoke, we will return to our kingdom of heaven!

29 The entreaties of the great angels and their indications that a return of the unclean spirit and the unclean soul to the kingdom of God will become impossible, aroused in the undisciplined a wickedness that made them speak and turn around like madmen, and as the crowd inexorably continued, the rescuers gave up their efforts, although not a few of them withdrew, weeping and continuing to exhort.

30 And already the other rescuers, who wanted to return, saw a second great crowd, to which likewise many who remained pure stood in the way with the same goal of persuading them to repentance and return, but again without success, and this repeated itself for a time that seemed to me almost infinitely long.

Chapter VIII

1 Evermore new hordes from all the worlds of the Kingdom of God gathered in and around that world, from which the exodus of Satan and his followers took place and from where the first hordes of children of God corrupted by his grandiloquence now followed him.

2 Horde upon horde followed him, so that I thought I could not see the end of this sad and terrible event, and again it seemed to me that I was seeing all this as if in a fever.

3 Thoughts arose in me: What will become of all these countless ones? But what will also become of all those who remained children of God in pure soul and pure spirit and only followed along to save the others?

4 Among these, however, I also saw some who were so incensed by the insolence and wickedness of the shouterers who posed as leaders of the others that they, forgetting their childhood of God, violently seized those, but seeing the futility of such their actions, then also followed along, full of remorse for themselves and full of pity for the stubbornly wandering and corrupted ones.

5 Finally, finally, the gatherings in that world of the Kingdom of God stopped, from which they had set out, and there that angel stood by me again, who had previously led me to those to whom it is incumbent to lead the Book of Life in each of the worlds of the heavenly kingdom, and spoke to me:

6 The horde that you still see there is the last of those who set out, and we know from God the Lord that not a single one of the souls who left His kingdom will reach the pit of hellish darkness that Satan and his followers create in the distances of infinity, far, far away from here; they will indeed see this creation in the distances, but before they can go further, they will lose their heavenly body and light, that is, lose consciousness and become, in deep unconsciousness that will also bring complete forgetfulness of all that has happened to most of them, similar spiritual and mental seeds again, as we all were before the beginning created for us by God.

7 However, all this seed will not be lifeless, as it was before the beginning, but the life received once from and through God will remain its own, and God the Lord will awaken all this seed to the consciousness of its own life and being through the forces of that world which He will create for this purpose and to which all the spiritual, mental, and living seed will gradually go to pass through, developed in and with this, through the construction of another body of its own.

8 The last horde of those setting out is still in sight and already God the Lord is taking care to create a world that corresponds to the corrupted nature of the souls and spirits of His children who turned away from Him and pursued the lying grandiloquence; it will be a world, largely a mirror image of His kingdom, and that is why I have come to lead you away from this world of His kingdom, on which we stand here and from which the exodus of the dark adversary and his followers, as well as the exodus of the hordes pursuing him, took place, because it will no longer be a world of the Kingdom of God, but He will create from it and also from things that are not of His kingdom that world which He has decided in eternity to bring into being, since He, all-knowing, has known and seen all this infinitely sad event just as He knows and sees all future events.

9 He took me by the hand, and in a moment he was with me again in that great world in which the number of those who became demons of the spirit and intent of Satan and whose names are erased in the Book of Life was counted.

10 And I saw there again, gathered from all the worlds of the heavenly kingdom, the Book of Life in books, and many who marked the names of the hordes of pure children of God who turned away from God and were on the way to ruin with signs, counted them, and behold, when this was done, it was found that their number was almost a third of the number of those children of God who were not deceived by the grandiloquence and grandstanding of Satan and his followers and remained in His kingdom.

11 I saw the sorrow, suffering, and pain over this infinitely sad event imposed on the faces of the children of God who remained pure, and bitter tears also came to my eyes; but then I heard the wonderful voice of the Word of God penetrating the worlds of His heavenly kingdom, and, looking up like all the others, I saw Him in the light of His power standing in the middle of the firmament with raised hands, blessing His, comforting them through His word that many will return in good time, and as He spoke, sorrow, suffering, and pain left the face of His angels; and when He finished His word, the cry of worship from all the worlds of His kingdom resounded towards Him: Yes - Ave - Rah - Gotodin - Deaus - Amen!

12 And as I looked at Him with folded hands kneeling in prayer, I heard His voice in me: Go to the hordes that set out and see what you should write!

13 And as I still heard this His voice in me, I stood at the border of the light of His kingdom, there where, at the beginning of the exodus of the deceived children of God, many saw the shadows stretching through the emptiness of the worldless infinity as the way, which the seducer, braggart, and grandiloquent one had marked for them with his horde and where they were supposed to reach his unprecedented new creation.

14 And behold, there some small groups of the returning children of God stood with faces full of horror and shock, I saw further groups returning in small groups, and already great angels and angels of the Kingdom of God were there to take care of the returned ones; but I strove on, and I was given the power to see into infinity; but what I saw soon also filled me with horror.

15 At first, I saw all the terrifying event in an infinitely seeming, living image, like a sign that looked as if a huge, fiery red dragon were dragging the third part of many still brightly glowing, but infinitely more dimming stars of the sky after it, but immediately I recognized in them that third part of the children of God who, turning away from Him, left His kingdom.

16 In the far, far distance, I saw the creation of Satan and his followers, a kingdom of darkness that was struck by fiery red and sulphur yellow lights like lightning, and I recognized that it is the light of the hellish pit in which the devils, creating according to the instructions of their "Yes-Ave," shot around like mad.

17 I also saw and recognized that the same thing many of the hordes that set out from the Kingdom of God also see, despite the seemingly infinite distances that separate them from the world of evil and his followers, and I also saw that they may still strive on, but they can no longer do so; and looking around, I saw that even those last hordes of the entire enormous train, who had turned away from the distant world of darkness and looked back in the direction from which they had come, could also no longer return.

18 I was torn out of the painful depth of the so infinitely sad and at the same time terrifying image of the whole thing by a voice that sounded like the croaking of a carrion crow in thunder and storm, and looking around, I saw the dragon, Satan with a horde of his followers at the border of the darkness of his world and heard him croak words of blasphemy against God and against His kingdom, which the evil liar and creator of the hellish pit of darkness called a mere kingdom, which he would shatter and shape according to his will, in order to show all those who will be his that he is the Holy - Creator - Living - Eternal and God, to whom alone worship and praise is due.

19 But when a multitude of great angels, who had gathered and arrayed themselves before the first, forming, as it were, the vanguard of the enormous train, lifted up their hands against him and praised the true eternal God and Father of all life, he turned away with terrible curses and, as if thrown back, fell with his multitude into the mire of creation built by him and his own.

20 In gazing, I turned again to those multitudes of the middle and end of the seemingly endless, enormous train, reaching into the distance, forward, backward, to the sides, upwards and downwards, but which no longer moved in the direction it had initially taken, but stood in the worldless emptiness of infinity between the true world of the kingdom of God and the mire of hellish darkness.

21 And again I saw many of the great angels among the individual multitudes and heard many of them speak again: O ye fellow angels and children of God! Behold us and behold one another! Even if ye are deaf to our word, yet see what change ye have already experienced in your nature and what your countenance reflects!

22 What times have already passed since ye left the heavenly kingdom, and since ye wander here between the light of the kingdom of God and the world of the mire of hellish darkness! It is still a long time, it will still be possible for many to turn and go with us! Do ye not see how seemingly infinitely far we are all from the light of the kingdom of God?

23 But many, many also of the last, the enormous train as final multitudes, spoke: We have not seen the light of the kingdom for a long time!

24 Hearing this, the others turned, looking around as if searching, and cried out, for they also saw no light; most were seized with horror, a wailing arose all around, and sadly those who still had the light of their own nature and spirit among all the multitudes spoke: It is too late!

Chapter IX

1 The wailing grew even greater, and many turned again to the others, making accusations of persuasion and also accusing each other of various unknown proceedings, blaming each other for having participated in the departure, and it appeared as if those accused wanted to become violent against those accusing them.

2 But I was also seized with horror as I heard individual voices from the multitudes and saw those who spoke to the others: Behold! It has been told us that God is omnipotent! But must we not perhaps doubt His omnipotence in the face of all that has happened? If He is omnipotent, why did He allow the new creator to create that which is intended to be against Him and us, and if He is omnipotent, how could He allow us to be drawn from His kingdom and arrive at this abyss from which it seems there is no escape, since we can neither go forward nor backward and the feeling of falling terrifies us like strangling?

3 And similarly, in other words, others also began to speak.

4 But the bright angels and great angels among the now lightless multitudes  lifted up their hands, and as it became quieter, they spoke: Do not humble the life of God within you by making Him responsible for what is your own will, decision, and action; we all have, by virtue of our own spirit, our own will as well, our will is free and that it is free is proven by the action of each of us.

5 By virtue of his own free will, the former great angel, who was once so close to  God, became Satan, and a great multitude of other angels became his demons; God explained to him where his preconceived actions would lead him, bring him, and what would become of him and those he drew to himself; but did he listen to the word of God, accept His explanations, heartily and follow His warnings?

6 No, but by virtue of his own free will, he turned against God and, with those like himself, left the heavenly kingdom, to be able to create and do, far, far away from Him and His world, what is unknown and impossible in the kingdom of God; this, unknown, foreign, and impossible to the worlds of the heavenly kingdom, he now creates with his own, out of his own free will, against God and against all that is of God, merely to be called by his own the Holy One, Creator, and God.

7 God is the eternal truth! We knew and know this of Him, from His mouth, through His holiest word; and before this sad and fearful event, we knew nothing of a lie, did not even know the word; but now we not only know the word and the meaning of the word lie, but also its nature, its power, and him who created it, and only now, as we know the lie in, through, and from the liar, do we measure the infinitely elevated, pure, and holy meaning of the power of God's eternal truth!

8 In the essence of His eternal truth, God is the true light and the true eternal life! We knew and know this through His holiest word; the true meaning and the infinitely elevated greatness, purity, and holiness of these powers of His nature and spirit we have likewise now fully recognized only since we have known the infinite opposite in, through, and from the liar, who seeks to destroy everything of God with full darkness.

9 We do not yet know what the darkness and lie of the destroyer will further devise, create, bring forth, and what further consequences all this will have; but this we know, that because it is directed and intended against God, against all and against everything that is of God, it will affect and affect those in the future most terribly who participate and cooperate in it.

10 Because the destroyer, liar, and Satan knows the word "truth" through the word of God, he claims to be called by his own the truthful one, and they also call him so because he actually creates what he had given them to be able to create, and that which, according to his word, only he, but not God, can create; and we tell you that this word of Satan is the only remaining little piece of that eternal truth in which he did not stand and against which he turns; for if he says that God cannot create what he creates, he speaks the truth!

11 What God has created for us, so that we can ourselves create within it, we all know and now more than ever know how satisfied, happy, and blessed we were within it, now that everything terrifies you, but more still us, and as we sink into feelings that are unknown, foreign to us, that we cannot even name! Therefore you lament: alas, alas for us!

12 It has indeed also been spoken to you, you too have heard the holiest word of God; we all, along with those fellow angels and children of God who have remained with Him in His kingdom, have explained to you, begged you, admonished you, and again begged you not to listen to the grand speeches of the liar, destroyer, and his own, and behold, now the own free will of the own spirit of each one of you has conquered everything against all.

13 And therefore we say to you: whoever turns away from God in this way and willingly leaves His kingdom to follow the darkness, whoever suppresses the holiest word of God within himself to listen to lies and perhaps even find pleasure in their wickedness, must have arrived at this abyss and bear the self-prepared and self-created evil, for all this has happened by the power of your own free will.

14 We others have not turned away from God, but by the power of our own free will we have gone with you and by the same our free will we remain with you, because we know that God, who is the eternal truth, the true light, and the true eternal life, will not allow anyone, not even the very least individual among us, to perish, if he turns back to Him.

15 But now, as ye are, neither doth any one fit, nor is any one able to enter into the kingdom of God; for now it is too late! But we know that God will create great things for the salvation of all those who will desire and will to be saved.

16 None of us hath ever seen the becoming of the being, and none of us hath ever known a passing away of the being, the living, and the things which God hath created; but now we see the becoming of the non-being in the creation of the liar and destroyer, in the maker of the pit of hellish darkness, and a seeming passing away ye must needs learn at yourselves.

17 For to the Satan, and to his, and to you, the light of the kingdom of God is itself past; for to him and to his, surely for ever, since they make and build up their own kingdom, the pit of hell; but for the most of you, not for ever, since the desire to become children of God again will not perish in many.

18 Of God we know that we go with you towards an event in which all of us shall meet the first dying, the appearance of a non-being, the appearance of a death which in truth does not exist, yet but by dying a state from which alone He can awaken us, and will awaken us, through a new creation which shall be suitable to the state in which your soul and your spirit are now, but which will offer to all of us what is necessary for us to find our way back to Him in His kingdom.

19 If this His second creation is there for us, and we know that it is already beginning to be, we shall gradually arrive at all, learning a becoming in all that is soul-spirit-living, but also a passing away, since we shall have to die a second time there.

20 It will be an apparent becoming and passing away, indeed in the reality of creation, founded in the same apparent reality, but in and of itself only an appearance of reality, since there is no becoming and passing away of the soul-spirit-living in its fundamental essence, because this is eternal.

21 The second creation of God for us will give us all that is necessary to live, create, and walk the path there that will lead us to Him, in the light of His eternal truth and to true eternal life in His kingdom, which ye have freely, willingly, and of your own accord left, or else to continue on the path now taken, which leads to the pit of hellish darkness, which the evil spirit and father of lies creates with his.  22 Look at yourselves and us! As we are now, so do ye also deceive at your soulful a wondrous heavenly body; but what of this wondrous body do ye still own? And look, soon ye will own nothing of it anymore, already so many have almost entirely lost it and already they do not hear our word anymore, already their consciousness is dwindling, already the first dying is there.

23 And as they spoke in this and similar ways in various hints and words to the crowds, the wailing and cries of despair began to such an extent that I tried to flee, but I could not move with full horror.

24 I saw there souls without the heavenly body like dead, others grasping at their necks and around themselves and blindly seeking support, still others screaming in despair, an enormously extended field of indescribable misery.

25 But the bright angels and archangels stepped together, turned their face towards the Highest of the kingdom of God, raised their hands, and spoke: Almighty eternal God! Father of all life! Following Thy holy spirit and word, we remain among these crowds, to serve Thee and them whenever, however, and wherever Thou, holy God, shalt call us. To Thee be praise, honor, power, worship, and glory for ever!

Chapter X

1 And lo! There I saw a second face, a face within a face, like seeing double in a fever, for I saw myself amongst those who called out in adoration to God, and I stood there myself between two of the great angels amidst all the others, saw the terrible death of all those beside and after one another, finally dying with those two myself, between whom I was and who seemed so familiar to me, as if I had been with them for eternity.

2 Then it became still, like a stillness of death; but it was the stillness of a living death, a grave of enormous size, without walls or floor, a lightless kingdom of the deepest unconsciousness and powerlessness; I saw myself in the midst of it and yet saw everything from elsewhere and was so terrified by it that I experienced an indescribably great pain, without being able to say what kind it was.

3 Suddenly, however, it became light around me and I heard His voice within me: Jovian! No one and will no one have insight into this kingdom of unconsciousness, powerlessness, and lying fallow, except for Myself and you, to whom I give insight, so that you may see what you are to write; have you seen and remembered it, then you should also see My creation which will serve the salvation of all these lost, deceived, and corrupted in soul and spirit, who, despite the partial, but even more complete forgetting of everything that has happened from the beginning until now, seek Me and My kingdom with good will, and so that they may find Me and My kingdom again, I will personally take care of things at the given time in the creation, which will not become My kingdom.

4 Then I looked up, fell at His feet, and powerless to speak a single word, indeed also unable to fully grasp His word, I wept bitterly.

5 He, however, placed His hand on my head and spoke: Do not weep; terrible things have happened, but even more terrible things will follow throughout the ages, until everything has happened that must happen for the final salvation of all those of My angels who have so wilfully turned away from Me and left My kingdom created for them, to follow the Great Braggart, Father of Lies, and Creator of Hell, who, plunging himself into destruction, also wants to draw all those with him who are Mine and, except for a few isolated ones, will be Mine again for all the future.

6 As I no longer heard His word, I looked up, and lo, He was no longer with me, but rather in the midst of the firmament of the worlds of His kingdom in the indescribably and unspeakably wonderful light of His holiest being and spirit, and I was given the strength to see Him as if He were standing with me.

7 His holy spirit shone radiantly in all directions of infinity, and in the rays I saw those who, by the power of His holy spirit, also emanated from the essence of His holiest form, appearing like seven wondrously radiant, pure lights in their essence, power, sound, and colors, all one and yet each individually distinguishable from one another, and as I saw this, I immediately knew that I was seeing His seven holy attributes in the essence of their radiance: truth, goodness, love, mercy, forgiveness, justice, and self-sacrifice.

8 And as I thought about the wonder of this sight, I immediately recognized that the first three of His seven holy attributes operate in the first of His creations, in the worlds of His kingdom, but that the other four pertain to His second creation and those for whom He will allow a second creation to come into being.

9 As I looked and thought, some time passed; but then I heard His voice once again within me: Now look around you and remember what you are to write!

10 And immediately I felt myself in the midst of the kingdom of those who, having lost all things heavenly, lay in deep unconsciousness and powerlessness, a silence and deep stillness all around, like in a seemingly endless, wall- and floorless, enormous grave, but the darkness, indeed the horror of the previous appearance of everything had given way to an appearance that looked like pure dawn of a clear sky in the morning, and the deep stillness like a holy rest.

11 The seas of those who lay still were souls without the heavenly body they had had, similar to what I had seen ages ago, after they had received life from and through God at the beginning created for them and had attained the development that was hidden undeveloped as a basic and fundamental value in every soul from all eternity.

12 But now I was frightened as I saw that many, very many no longer had the size of their soul form, but had become much smaller, indeed visibly not only always smaller, but also constantly losing the clarity of their form, and that this was even more apparent with many, very many of the innumerable kinds of animals taken along by the departing children of God, which looked like even larger and much more numerous seas of souls than the seas of the powerless souls of the children of God.

13 I do not know how much time passed in this sight around me; but in continuing to look, I saw and recognized that the vast majority of the beings of all these seas of souls took on a similar appearance to what I had seen before the beginning as mere soul-spiritual seed: tiny and also larger, with more or less blurry pictures of their form and shapes in the soul shell, enclosing the spirit as the kernel; now they have become similar seed again (but not all), however, I saw life in each one, but no consciousness of life and being.

14 Initially frightened about what will become of all this in the future, I soon calmed myself in the thought that all this soul-spiritual-living seed will reach development and consciousness of its own being and life in a world created for this purpose by God, even if in a different way, since it once came into His kingdom without life-force and there received life from and through Him, now that it has its own life, it will be able to regain the lost consciousness elsewhere as well as the re-development, if God creates a corresponding world for it.

15 In such thoughts, sunk in the sight of the immeasurable seas of living death, I heard myself called by name, and as I looked up, I was removed from the seas of unconsciousness, powerlessness, and silence and saw Him standing in a world of His kingdom, surrounded by large crowds of His angels, and I fell at His feet; but He lifted me up, pointed with His hand in a direction and spoke: Look there!

16 And then I realized that that one world of His kingdom, from which the departure of the former great angel, turned into the liar, creator of hellish darkness and Satan, and then also the departure of an infinite number of the children of God, had taken place, was no longer in its place, was no longer there; but as I looked further in the direction pointed out to me, behold, I saw it removed far, far into the distances of infinity from the kingdom of God, in a direction opposite to the pit of hell.

17 But He rose from the midst of the crowd of His angels into the heights, spread His hands in that direction, and as He once created worlds of His kingdom, ages ago, I now saw Him creating worlds of a kingdom that is infinitely distant from His kingdom, is not His kingdom.

18 The creation of the worlds of His kingdom and the beginning He alone has allowed me to see in vision; but this second of His creations, countless of His angels saw with me, and as in ages past, I saw now from and out of Him rays of all sorts of other lights and all sorts of other powers go forth, which in the light of the radiance of His holy spirit immediately penetrated into wide distances of infinity, and forthwith I saw everywhere there a movement, similar to the one I saw at the creation of His kingdom.

19 Alone then did I see the movement of the distances everywhere, above me, on all sides, and below me, whereas the movement that I saw there with the host of angels of God grasped, indeed, an enormous and immeasurable, but yet only a part of the distances of infinity, and already have I also recognized that those distances are excluded from it, in which Satan with his own created the pit of hell.

20 Also now was the movement of the distances to be seen as if countless smaller, larger, and great clouds of light were arising everywhere and becoming more spherical as many shone from within themselves and as others had no own light and as they received light only through the light of the others.

21 But the light which was proper to the worlds of this creation set me in wonder, and wonder I saw on the face of the children of God, for the light which the worlds of this creation of God begot from themselves and allowed to radiate was no light of the worlds and the kingdom of God, but an unknown foreign light, a light like that of consuming fire, a light infinitely poor in everything that is proper to the light of the worlds and the kingdom of God, a light poor in colors, harmful to the eye,

22 whether it was great and dazzling, or again did not offer the right sight if it was small and weak, and also with the greatest strength and dazzling did not penetrate from where it went out, which was already to be seen in that many worlds of the new creation, which had no own light, were only as far light as the radiation of the others reached them.

23 In the seeing, I suddenly noticed that even that world, which was removed from the kingdom of God there, had lost its own, thus heavenly light, also certainly become a thousand times smaller than it was, also otherwise looked different, but nevertheless took up the middle among the countless other worlds of the new creation.

24 How long all that lasted? I do not know, for in the seeing of all that which is foreign, different, poor to the kingdom of God, and yet in the variety somehow similar, great, and enormous, I was sunken in thought of no time; it seemed to me that all that can only have lasted for moments and new wonder seized me as I saw the movement in this creation that had escaped me until now and with the angels of God I sank in adoration to my knees before Him.

Chapter XI

1 I heard the voice of the Word of God speaking to His angels, and when He had spoken, praise, honor, and worship in words and in song to Him sounded from all the worlds of His kingdom - and again I heard His word within me: See, so that you may know what you should write!

2 I turned in the power of seeing to infinity, to the new creation of God, and behold, everything was in motion, although it appeared to be standing still; all the worlds moved, slowly or more quickly around themselves and often also around others, many with one half light, the other obscured, small, larger, great, and many enormous, among them also some with long hair of light, or with seemingly infinite tails, as if they were collecting in these what was rejected by the others, and there,

3 oh wonder, I noticed that the center of this whole universe and precisely that world which was removed from the kingdom of God and, differently shaped, incorporated into the new creation, was taking the direction towards the sea of souls, which lie there, like in a bottomless and endless grave, unconscious in deep unconsciousness and in deep silence, many, very many, indeed already the majority in the insignificance of tiny seeds.

4 When I saw this, a desire awakened in me to go through the realm of unconsciousness and silence on the same world, and forthwith I stood on one of its mountains, immeasurably astonished, but at the same time also deeply moved, for now I knew: I stood on Earth, all the land around me overflowing with greening and flowering plants, shrubs, and trees, all the greening and flowering not outwardly as wonderful to look at as in the worlds of the kingdom of God, but nevertheless of the same soul, the same spirit, and life.

5 Rivers of pure water ran through the land like silver glittering bands, in the distance lay the sea, and clouds moved along as if to protect the land from the rays of the light source nearest to the earth and to give it water, and there was also day and night.

6 But soon the earth reached the realm of unconsciousness and silence, and behold, it attracted to itself those souls of the children of God and those of the animal world who had lost the least of the size and forms of their spiritual shape and held them fast; but I immediately recognized that this happening was not due to the fact that they were less corrupt in soul and spirit than the others, but that it is based in the essence of the soul itself and depends on neither good nor evil.

7 But the days when the earth passed through the realm of unconsciousness and silence were twenty-eight, exactly from one full light of the pale earth companion to the other; now, however, I saw the living image of the becoming of animals and humans on earth.

8 They still lay unconscious and powerless there and there, individually, as well as in smaller or larger groups, as soul, spirit, and life in the midst of all the earthly, coarse solid things surrounding them, hardly perceptible, as if they were a breath of the earthly; but through the influence of the earthly things, the earth, the air, the light, the heat, the water, and other forces, not least also through the influence of the forces emerging from the earthly body of the plant kingdom, and permeated by all of this, a movement soon came into the animal souls, then afterwards, first individually, then increasingly also in the souls of the children of God.

9 Like in a half-sleep, here and there one or the other opened and closed their eyelids, but closed them again soon after, grabbed unconsciously around them like in sleep, but could not grasp the completely foreign to them and only gradually did one or the other awaken enough to look around in wonder, or even as in an hallucination, and to search within themselves with a sense of panic for a memory.

10 I recognized that a memory came to many of the many when they raised their hands to the heights of the firmament, and many of them began to cry bitterly; in the meantime, the forces of the earth formed an earthly body on the psychic body, but of a type that can not even be compared to a spider's web in terms of its density.  11 But when they saw how all kinds of known animals took from the green and blooming vegetation, they did so too, and behold, their body became earthly, bringing with it the desire to incorporate all kinds of scents, juices, and fruits, and from the children of God became earthly humans, although their body was not much denser than a spider's web.

12 But this had the advantage for them that they were not tied to the ground of the earth, but could change their surroundings by rising and floating for shorter or longer periods; then, after the passage of a further twelve times twenty-eight days, which have passed since the first twenty-eight, the earth passed through the realm of unconsciousness and silence again, and I recognized an earthly year.

13 The earth again took on the souls of the children of God and the animals, and the earthly becoming of the children of God became more numerous; but the ones who had already arrived before concerned themselves with the newcomers, and this repeated itself until all parts of the land of the earth were inhabited by crowds of humans.

14 Many of them individually remembered the sad event more or less, sought to awaken the memory of it in others, and there were even some among them who had the ability to not only see but also speak to the pure angels of God, to receive and transmit messages from them, and there were also some through whom the angels of God could communicate with humans themselves, and thus the gift of prophecy and vision was soon present among the children of God who had turned away from Him, left His kingdom, and come to earth.

15 As all angels (as well as all the animal kingdom) are genderless in His kingdom, these first hordes that arrived on earth were also genderless, and the simple organism of their earthly bodies, which were constructed according to the nature and forms of the soul's body, enabled them to live, work, and act for hundreds of years, and some even for over a thousand years, according to their earthly physical condition.

16 But when the earth, over time, received souls that had, as I had seen, previously and by then become imperceptible, minuscule, and seemingly insignificant mere seeds of spiritual-mental life, it was no longer possible for them to be embodied on earth as their many, many predecessor hordes had been - and now something earth-wondrous happened.

17 The minuscule and seemingly insignificant spiritual-mental seed, which was not perceived at all by the already embodied earthly souls that had been there for shorter or longer periods, was attracted so strongly by the already earthly bodies of the predecessors of its kind that it unconsciously incorporated itself into them, building its own body from their earthly body, growing, and through its incorporation and growth, a new physical structure formed within the body of the host, and with the increasing development and weight, also an exit, and when the development had reached a certain degree, the now earthly-clad soul left the body of its host.

18 People saw this process with amazement first in animals, but over time also among themselves, and thus the female and the mother were created on earth; humans became physically different from their first predecessors, and it was also the same with animals, as well as with various green growths, and in this way and otherwise, the earth also took on a different appearance.

19 After further earthly times passed, in which ever newer spiritual-mental seed came from the realm of powerlessness and silence to earth, the mentioned incorporation continued, but the nature of the seed had already become such that it was attracted and incorporated by the female hosts without their knowledge or will, but could not develop on its own from their physical bodies.

20 But because it was there and incorporated into its hosts, it could not remain without consequences and corresponding appearances, and it showed itself - particularly in humans - through the sign of a type of bleeding; the nature of this seed required particularly prepared earthly juices, and in order to begin its development, the seed had to come into contact with them, they had to be incorporated into it.

21 The development that had occurred through more abundant and more diverse nourishment caused a greater and increasingly visible densification of the earthly body, connected with all sorts of earthly forces, and in those who were not hosts of the spiritual-mental seed, it not only produced the aforementioned juices necessary for the awakening of its development, but over time also increasingly sensible and powerful organs, and thus the male was created on earth.

22 Up to that point, I saw more than a hundred times ten thousand earthly years pass in spirit, and the people of the earth had the same knowledge, which had also been retained among them by seers and prophets up to that point; thus they knew of their former life and work in the true world of the kingdom of God, which they called Paradise, of their turning away from God, of their departure, of their former death, and since on earth they sought to create for each other all that was good and beautiful just as they had once in the true world, the earth was also a mirror image of the kingdom of God in that respect.

23 Among them, even from the beginning of their earthly existence and over time, there were also souls that more or less consciously or unconsciously inclined towards evil, because every soul of the children of God that turned away from Him and left His kingdom bore the mark of their former ways, desires, and actions and became alive in their earthly existence, but such ones who inclined further towards evil were only isolated and could not seriously or permanently disturb the peace of the countless others.

24 But the increasing physical density bound everyone more and more to the earth, and the duration of existence also became notably shorter; the many unknown and new aspects of earthly life and work, the emergence of the female and the male, the inability that had arisen to rise from the ground at will and to change locations by floating according to one's preference, and the countless other circumstances brought it about that the living hordes of humans who were far from each other named the new things differently than the others, and thus from the originally single heavenly language, individual and subsequently more and more earthly languages arose.

Chapter XII

1 The death of the first hordes of humans on earth was, due to the simplicity and very low density of their earthly bodies, painless, like falling asleep; the living soul with its spirit left the earthly, worn-out body without much distress and without struggle.

2 I also recognized that earthly sleep is a result of the close connection and the closest interweaving and action of the spiritual and the earthly body, which the soul cannot constantly be active in, and therefore regularly strives for and achieves a relaxation in this, thereby blocking the use of the earthly physical senses for the spirit and also losing certain degrees of consciousness for the duration of this state; but that all sorts of, sometimes even the slightest, influences on the feelings of the earthly body and its senses on the one hand, as well as influences on the feelings of the spiritual body and its senses on the other hand, are sufficient to restore the closest interweaving of both immediately and make the senses of both useful to the spirit.

3 When the first humans on Earth died, that is, when their trinity of soul-spirit-life had separated from the earthly body they carried, behold, I saw some being led by the angels into the true world of the Kingdom of God, while others, on the other hand, went to worlds that did not belong to the heavenly kingdom or to the worlds of the universe of this world with its earth, and I soon realized that these are worlds of the afterlife.

4 And I was given insight into all these worlds, of which there are a great, great number, and as I looked, I was already in one of them, which had a similar, almost identical light as one of the worlds of the Kingdom of God, and from which the Kingdom of Heaven could be seen, but on the other hand, also some similar worlds of the afterlife, which are like step by step of a different light and also of a different nature, and I found them inhabited by many of those who lived on Earth and died there.

5 I saw them create beautiful and pure things, heard some of them preach about the events in eternity since the beginning, and then all praise God, praise Him, and speak to Him thanks for everything He has done from eternity for all that he has given life to with His own eternal life force and carries His life within it. 

6 And as I looked further and also stood there, I saw worlds of the hereafter that have less and weaker light and are also less pure in nature from step to step, and as I keep looking, I saw the worlds of the hereafter becoming more and more lightless, less pure in nature, darker and darker from step to step, and was shocked as I saw how increasingly dark the even further worlds are, and their last ones have almost nothing that could be called light. 

7 But I found myself suddenly there in shock and, horrified, I turned to flee; but then I saw in immeasurable distances above all the worlds of the hereafter, but also above the entire creation of the universe encompassing the earth, the true world of His kingdom and Him, standing in the middle of the firmament of heaven, with His holiest face turned towards me, in indescribably and unspeakably wonderful light of His power with raised arms.

8 Then all fear and horror gave way to a bliss of His holy peace, I fell to the impure ground of the dark-looking world, and heard His voice within me: I am with you, Jovian! And you shall see everything so that you may write! And I remained praying for a while. 

9 Rising, I turned around and saw in the distance the kingdom of the abyss of hellish darkness, its creator and his own, creating as only he and those like him can, whose spirit, will, all thoughts and endeavors are against God, the eternal truth, and against all that He does and creates. 

10 And behold, I saw that the abyss of hellish darkness also has its light, a light of countless, blood-red and sulfur-yellow flames of fire, which are generated and sustained by hordes of devils through all sorts of things so that there may be light in the darkness; they themselves also go through the fiery tongues, driving back and forth, up and down, and as they become aware of the creator of all things, they fall down and with raised hands they cry out: Yes - Ave! Yes - Ave! Yes nos Amen!

11 And I saw an enormous throne, surrounded in front, behind, on the side and at its corners by light of all sorts of serpentine-like fire tongues, pale yellow and blood-red, and there were surfaces like mirrors in front, behind, on the side, but also above the throne that intensified the pale yellow and blood-red light on the throne a thousandfold; from many sides the same cry rose, and I saw the old dragon, Satan, who came with a host of his great ones, climbed the throne, sat on it and placed his own around him at the corners, columns and steps of the throne. 

12 Adorned with a shining garment, he had a golden belt around his chest, his feet like in silver ore, and in all this the flaming light of the fiery tongues flickered, so that it seemed as if lightning were emanating from him; his head, mouth, chin and cheeks he had covered with white hair, similar to white wool, and from his mouth hung a tongue like a two-edged knife, and on each of his sides hung a two-edged sword.

13 Then it went from his mouth, as if they were seven small, self-radiant white little stars, and he reached out and threw them under the seat of the throne; but the greatest of his own sprang up, took seven golden candlesticks standing behind the throne, placed them in front of him, placed fire tongues on top, and behold, I saw seven words of blasphemy written against God on the candlesticks. 

14 And as he and all around him looked like they were burning in the pale yellow and blood-red light of the flames of fire, he opened his mouth and, with a voice similar to the cawing of carrion birds in the storm, he spoke: No one else, but I am the beginning and the end, I am the first and the last, I am life and death, for I hold the keys of death in my hand, I allow to live whom I will allow to live, and I can kill whom I will kill; but those who worship me as their god, I allow to live, and no one will be able to kill them.

15 And as he was still speaking, his great ones rose up, struck large hammers on huge, cast-like discs of shiny ore, and others like them let out tubes like trumpets whose eerie sound carried far. 

16 And behold, there came from two sides hordes of his own, clad in armor and helmets, two giant armies, armed with weapons I have never seen before, and as the ones seated around the throne raised their hands to begin to cry out: Bata! Bata! Yes - Ave velchot setu Bata! Bata! Fight! Fight! The Holy One wants to see fight! Fight! the hordes rushed at each other, throwing, hitting, stabbing, striking and shouting Bata, Bata; but I, horrified, turned away and wanted to be absorbed in quiet prayer!

17 However, immediately, terrible cries of pain and a roar mixed with wild laughter woke me, and as I, turning, looked, I saw countless fighters writhing on the ground in agony with ghastly wounds, yes, some even tearing themselves further apart from pain, to the ever new laughter of their conquerors.

18 And as there were many hundreds of thousands of the defeated, wounded ones in piles, it occurred to me that many of them must drown in the blood of others, but behold, I saw no blood, not even among the most severely mutilated, and the open wounds were not red, but blackish, terribly to look upon in the light of the pale yellow and red flames.

19 But he who sat on the throne lifted his hand and called out: I hold the key of death in my hand; I can strike and I can heal, I can kill and make alive, and there is no one who can rescue anyone from my hand; you are struck down, but you shall be healed and live, for you are all mine!

20 And a general roar arose on all sides like the growling and thundering of a storm: Yes - Ave! Yes - Ave! - Yes - nos Amen!

21 Then I saw that in the meantime, parts of the world have become dark pits of hell, and even the dragon seated on the throne noticed it, who immediately sprang up and began to curse those who were responsible for the maintenance and preservation of the flaming light, and all around him trembled before his wrath.

22 His anger subsided only when the dark parts of his creation were again illuminated in the flaming light, and he spoke: I am the creator of light, I create light, I create darkness and curse all those who do not tend and care for my light, seeking to hide from my gaze in the darkness; beware that my anger does not consume you, for I am the great and terrible god! After this, he sat down and spoke to those who sat around him on the steps and corners of the throne:

23 Let there be built around my throne twenty-four smaller thrones, as many white garments and golden crowns, for each throne seven flaming torches, which indicate the seven powers of my spirit.

24 But you shall only ascend the thrones when you have found those hordes, or brought me reliable news of what has become of them, who have followed me and you in such innumerable quantities from the cursed realm of subservience and sameness, as we have seen.

25 The ones previously sent to search for them always returned unknowing; but now each of you shall choose a horde and, leading them, you shall continue to search diligently for those, for they must be found somewhere; the first of you to bring reliable news about them or themselves shall sit on my throne next to me, and the one he brings first from the found ones shall take his throne.

26 It is not yet time for me to leave this my creation to look for those who have followed me and you, but have not reached us, myself; so I send you and especially expect from you, the four living and creating with me, that you do not return until you have found and brought those who have followed me and will be mine.

27 Then those he had called the living and creating ones, went behind the throne, and when they emerged again, they were unrecognizable, both ridiculous and terrifying to look upon, for the first of these living ones wore the mummery like that of a lion with an open jaw, protruding red tongue, and seven terrifyingly long teeth, the second the mummery of a bull with seven strong, sharp horns and seven tail tufts, the third wore a mask over his own head, similar to the face of a darkly looking human, but with a sevenfold mouth, the fourth the mummery like that of an eagle, with seven sharp-clawed talons on each of his feet; each of the four had six wings, and all four were full, full of made-up eyes, which shone like flickering flames, from top to bottom, front, back, and on the sides.

28 They stepped before the throne of the old dragon, who distinguished himself by the mummery of white head and hair as a much older one before the others, and raising their muffled hands, they cried: Holy, three times holy is our god and lord, the creator of our kingdom, who was, is, and will be, who holds the keys of life and death!

29 And they fell with the other twenty and worshiped him, calling out: You alone, Lord, are our god, and you alone are worthy to receive from us praise, praise, honor, strength, splendor, and power, for it is by your will that you have created your kingdom, which will endure forever!

30 Then he stood up, raised his fists, and looking up at the pale yellow glow of the dark firmament of his creation with a contorted face, he shouted: I was, I am, I create, I will be, and the wrath of my anger will consume everything and everyone that is not mine, will not be mine, and will not worship me! - Go!

31 The twenty-four of his great ones rose, each called a horde of those waiting to him, and each strove with his horde in a different direction away from the pit of the kingdom of hell, toward the dark firmament, which bounds the world of the old dragon.

Chapter XIII

1 And lo, there did I see and recognize the purpose of the many, flaming eyes of the hooded figures, for in the darkness of the hellish firmament, but also outside in the void, they always showed the others the place where the four living and creating beings with their horde were located, and I was frightened when I saw that it was precisely the one with his horde, who bore the mummery like that of a lion, who was heading towards that dark, unclean world of the beyond on whose ground I stood; he and his own were coming closer and closer, looking and spying in all directions; I assumed that he and they all must see the world and me, but they passed by swinging, and I have recognized that they could neither see the world on which I stood, nor me.

2 Like these hooded figures and their horde, I also saw the other twenty-three hordes in the infinity of the void, seeking, striving forward, swinging, turning back and always taking new directions, and there I recognized that they, like in circles, always came back to places where they had been several times before, and that they could not get out of the drawn circles and go on further.

3 It seemed to me that they themselves did not notice it at all, and then I turned my gaze back to the hellish swamp and lo, some were sitting in front of the throne of the old dragon, whom he commanded to write the names of those who shared his swamp of creation in books; but the books had leaves like thin metal, and the pens wrote the names like in flaming signs.

4 However, everyone who was written down had to make a sign with his own hand next to the written name, upon which the scribes drew the same sign with the pen on the forehead of the person concerned.

5 Times passed, and tired from all the looking, it seemed to me as if I fell asleep and as if the sleep lasted ten thousand times ten thousand years, but I couldn't really wake up even in my sleep, continuing to watch everything that happened in heaven, on earth, in the beyond and in the swamp of hell, feeling oppressed and frightened, I spoke a prayer in my spirit to God.

6 Then I felt His strength and heard His voice within me: "Arise and go through the Beyond to the earth, to see and write what has happened and will happen everywhere there!" Strengthened, with peace and rest in my soul, I arose and soon passed from one world of the Beyond to the other.

7 And behold, the dark, unclean, and shadowy worlds of the Beyond I saw empty as before; but I found the nearest, not so shadowy, and other less dark worlds inhabited by the souls of deceased men, and further on, I saw them in the lighter and purer worlds in ever-greater numbers, and so also in the pure and light worlds, which are nearest to the seven purest and lightest of the true world of the Kingdom of God.

8 How long this journey of mine through the worlds of the Beyond lasted, I measured by feeling the elapsed times and then realized that again an elapsed time of eternity was included, comprising a thousand times ten thousand earthly years.

9 In all the worlds that I found inhabited, I saw the former children of God as active souls as humans, but in a series of forty-nine of the Beyond worlds I found them to a far superior part either in deep unconsciousness or as if asleep; those among them, however, who were not completely asleep, but awake in various degrees of wakefulness, clearly indicated that they do not know where they are and what is happening to them, and I recognized that they only partially possess a body corresponding to such one of their Beyond worlds and must first create it.

10 And precisely in these worlds, I saw not a few who, although wearing a body corresponding to the nature of these worlds, were concerned about those who were awake and half-awake and made such a helpless impression on me; but I also recognized that the helpers, despite their body corresponding to the respective world, are souls of lighter worlds and have only built (assumed) a corresponding body in the world in which I saw them in order to be able to work helpfully there - and such a group was not small in any of the forty-nine worlds.

11 Some of them were concerned with feeding and watering the awake and half-awake, giving them various kinds of food and drink, such as those offered by the respective world, and thereby helping them to build up that body on which the forces of the respective world already provide a basis without the knowledge and will of the soul arriving there; others of them were concerned with the unconscious and sleeping, to awaken them and yet others preached and spoke to those who, fully awake, fed and guided, have gained possession of the body corresponding to their world.

12 Then I saw and recognized that each of the forty-nine worlds has a connection with eight other Beyond worlds, and that each of the awakened and instructed human souls, in the built-up body, can reach a certain one of these eight worlds, and only from there does the opportunity arise for them to reach lighter and purer, or according to their free will, lighter-poor, impure, and shadowy, even the dark and gloomy worlds of the Beyond.

13 But also this saw and knew I, that ever seven of the eight with one of the forty-nine worlds of sleep connected worlds are lighter and purer than each of the forty-nine, on the other hand each eighth less pure and light than these, and that each of the awakened, with the body of their world attired and instructed souls strives towards where once at the departure from the true world of the kingdom of God self-willingly acquired marks of distinction draw them.

14 Each of these marks of distinction is directed against one, several, or even against all those properties of the good soul and good will of any intellectually capable spirit, properties which in highest perfection, purity, and holiness are God's own and in them he is the eternal truth, goodness, love, mercy, forgiveness, justice, and self-sacrifice - and accordingly, according to what degree of opposite properties the mark of distinction and through this the soul bears within itself, as well as according to what degree of the will of the spirit the opposite properties of the living mark of distinction of the soul are sought and attempted to be suppressed and erased, or however, as the very opposite thereof, to be deepened, nourished, and enlarged, accordingly also the light, or the darkness of the soul and spirit is.

15 And since there are countless degrees of feelings and the resulting striving of the soul on the one hand, as well as countless degrees of the will of the spirit on the other hand, also the manifoldness of the degrees of light, as well as the countless degrees of shadow and dirty uncleanness reaching up to full darkness is unnumberable and unseeable.

16 But because there are still hordes that spiritually and intellectually rise up in almost the same striving and will, the striving and will of other hordes however is so manifold in essence and degrees, therefore also so many worlds of the afterlife, where in each individual world only that lives and works together which belongs there.

17 No world of the afterlife permits and allows that there good and evil, beautiful and repulsive, pure and dirty, holy and devilish, loving and nasty, true and deceitful, exalted and contemptible, high and low, ordered and desolate can live and work together, in and with each other in light and darkness, because all of that is only on earth, because there it serves the recognition of good and evil, truth and lies, and the recognition of spiritual and intellectual light, as well as spiritual and intellectual darkness, and therefore earthly life, work activity, and recognition of all of the enumerated is so infinitely important for eternity, and for not a few, is even decisive.

18 I have seen and recognized some souls in the individual ones of the forty-nine worlds whose marks of distinction through their striving, will, and work in the human body on earth have become unequally more pronounced, greater, worse, and darker than they were originally during the departure and at the first death, on the other hand however, I saw in many others the experienced mark of distinction under the mark of their good works on earth as without power and almost extinguished, for the light of the marks of their good works permeated the old mark of distinction and barely allowed the uncleanness of its essence to be recognized.

19 But of the worlds of the afterlife, which are connected to eight each with one of the forty-nine worlds, there are three hundred and ninety-two altogether; of these, three hundred and forty-three are lighter and purer in various gradations, on the other hand the remaining forty-nine are likewise lighter and purer in gradations than the forty-nine worlds of sleep - and according to everything seen, I have recognized that the far superior majority of the souls of all humans deceased at that time on earth arrive in one of the worlds of sleep and that these worlds form the actual center of all worlds of the afterlife, and that from them there are so many ever lighter and purer worlds that lead into the true world of the kingdom of God, as well as on the other hand, that there are just as many, however gradually ever lighter, impurer, and darker and darker worlds (in which until then I had not found a single human soul) that almost reach the border of the world of the infernal marsh.

20 And when I saw and recognized this, I shuddered in horror, for in me the dark thought arose that God, who is the eternal truth, goodness, and love, even through the creation of such worlds of the afterlife gives all those inclined and devoted to the old dragon-Satan the possibility to reach the marsh of infernal darkness and be lost - and like shaken by heavy fever, I feared to become insane, for in two of the forty-nine worlds I saw smaller groups of souls of all sorts of not entirely dark, but more or less impure marks of distinction, not covered by any light signs of good works.

21 And as once before and during the departure of the hordes from the true world of the kingdom of God, I saw and heard now also many souls of purer and lighter essence and marks of distinction, which had brought their once acquired impure marks of distinction more or less, indeed in very many almost to extinction, exhort, point out to, plead with, remind those small groups again and again of everything terrifying and horrifying that happened before and during the former departure, to the eternal truth, goodness, and love of God on the one hand and to the deceitfulness, wickedness, and hate of the old dragon-Satan and adversary of God on the other hand, but I saw and heard that all of that bore little or very little fruit, indeed in some not at all, for those it concerned.

22 These pointed out that neither they themselves nor any of those who exhorted them had attained the creation of him who promised to create what God has not created and cannot create, that they have seen from afar only the beginning, the start, but not the completion of his creation, no one has seen this, therefore no one can prove any claims against it and call the creator of such an incredibly great work, perhaps out of envy and injury over their own inability, an "old dragon," a "Satan," and his followers "devils."

23 When I heard this and saw the wickedness bursting forth from the faces of these speakers, I approached and began to preach to them, as well as to those who were concerned about them, with a loud voice, for I am the one who has seen the pit of hellish darkness and the activities of its creator and his followers, as well as everything that goes on there, therefore I know it, but see, I immediately saw and recognized that none of them, neither they nor their voices, sees or hears me, and that although I, seeing and hearing everything myself, am a stranger to all those souls and worlds, and carry as little of these latter as my own body, I can see and hear everything, but they cannot see me.

Chapter XIV

1 The behavior and speech of many a bearer of an unclean mark on the one hand, as well as the encouragement, hints, requests and warnings of those who, as inhabitants of purer and brighter worlds of the hereafter, willingly came and, overcoming themselves, assumed the body of a particular world in order to be seen and heard by those to whom their effort and work activity was directed, always attracted several listeners, and I saw in many a soul whose had unclean mark of former times was almost extinguishing under the light of the mark of their good works acquired on earth, all sorts of doubts arise and, under their influence, also many impurities of their old mark come to life again.

2 Seeing this, I was greatly alarmed anew, but immediately recognized that those who were striving for those who contradicted them also perceived it, for they turned away from these and towards those in whom they saw the doubts come to life.

3 But I saw in the whole being of many of the speaking carriers of an unclean mark that no purer and lighter world can receive them, yes, that their further stay in the world in which they were awakened from their sleep and in whose things their body was built is already impossible due to their mental and spiritual attitude, for I already saw their body gradually dissipate, they themselves staggering like drunk and half conscious, and behold, they were already lifted up like by an irresistible force, lost their body in the visible sufferings within the limits of the world they had inhabited until then, and soon after, one of the less luminous and impure worlds of the hereafter took them in.

4 But I fell down, and indescribably deeply moved I prayed in my soul and spirit that the all-good God may forgive me that unclean thought and let no such one arise in me again, that it is He who created worlds for such malicious human souls, which enable them the way to the old dragon, destroyer, and Satan, for through what I saw and heard I have recognized how indispensable and unavoidably necessary also the creation of such worlds of the hereafter was and is, which receive the dark and impure nature of the malicious and prevent them from carrying their wickedness into purer and lighter worlds of the hereafter to corrupt those of good will there.

5 Looking up, I saw and heard the efforts, explanations, pointing, instructions, requests, warnings, and preaching with which the purer and lighter helpers let the further awakened, awakened, and clothed with the body of one of the forty-nine worlds souls partake, and already I saw also many and very many of the awakened and taught human souls rise up to take the way to earth, for in them the concern for those who are their own on earth awoke.

6 That all souls of understanding spirit, which once passed through the kingdom of earth as humans, can at free will from any world of the hereafter, as well as from the true world of the kingdom of God, reach the earth and again their own world, that they can see the humans on earth (as also the animals and plants there) not earthly, thus not their earthly, but only their soulful body and spirit, recognize their own and, through suitable intermediaries, occasionally and under given circumstances also in all sorts of other ways more or less clearly communicate with them, I knew soon after the souls of the first human hordes deceased on earth entered the hereafter, as well as that already these first human hordes on earth stood in similar and equal connection with the pure children of God.

7 But now I also knew already some of the impurer and less luminous worlds of the hereafter inhabited, for during the times of my seeing, hearing, and considering all the events, new, albeit insignificant small groups of souls of more or less impure, individual but also more or less dark marks left one or another of the forty-nine worlds, and according to their nature took up worlds of the hereafter.

8 And as I looked, behold, also among them not a few left their worlds to keep watch among the humans on earth, came back after times with all sorts of communication, then went with others of their kind to earth, returned and reported truth, but also lies about everything that they had succeeded in observing and perceiving among the earthly humans; in the meantime, further souls arrived individually, sometimes also in smaller groups, from the forty-nine worlds of the hereafter, each time received with joy by the others.

9 But then I saw that the world of many of the malicious did not match them, that their desire was for even more impure creation and activity, and soon I saw some in another world corresponding to their desire and will, which however after times was still not impure and dark enough for them, and thus I saw them go towards destruction from stage to stage.

10 The whole range of increasingly impure, always less luminous, and increasingly dark worlds of the hereafter, which I found at times all up to the middle of those forty-nine worlds of sleep empty and uninhabited, gradually received inhabitants from this middle of the hereafter; certainly, still the much, much larger number of such worlds remained empty as before, but as the desire of individual also dragged along many of those inclined towards them like unstoppable, they had to finally in foreseeable time interval reach that like threateningly dark and obscure world of the hereafter from where I have seen the pit of hellish darkness, the old dragon-Satan, his own, and the activity of all there.

11 Thus looking back in spirit and feeling and measuring in the soul the time intervals, which have since passed and have been enclosed in eternity, I have recognized that they are correctly compared with ten thousand times ten thousand earthly years again; in spirit I added to it the time intervals passed before in seeing, since I have seen the first human hordes on earth live and work, and knew now that since then about thirty thousand times ten thousand years have passed, a time interval that seems almost infinite to many earthly humans.

12 But to me, who have seen, heard, and experienced all this, it seemed as if all this was yesterday, today, and tomorrow, and as I compared this time interval with the times in spirit that have passed since the creation of the true world of the kingdom of God for us and since the beginning created for us by him until the departure of the children of God corrupted by Satan, I have recognized that all these thirty thousand times ten thousand years cannot in any way be compared with those æons of times, which we lived in the true world of the kingdom of God, creating in blessed peace, for compared with those æons of times, the significance of the thirty thousand times ten thousand earthly years sinks not even to a moment.

13 I have been found worthy by him, unworthy as I am, in my own ability to see the eternity, which alone is penetrated by the light and power of the holiest essence, spirit, and life of God, the empty infinity, and him himself in the light of his power before the creation of the true world of his kingdom and before the beginning created for us by his grace, I know many a seer whose ability is certainly not smaller, and who would perhaps be more capable of writing down all the seen, heard, experienced, and felt in a better, more beautiful, and more understandable, sublime way than it is possible for me to do with the best will.

14 However, the revelation given in the face, which encompasses eternity, can only reproduce a vanishingly small fraction of all the seen, heard, felt, and shared in writing, for if everything were written, the seer and writer would have to live and write for thousands of years and I believe that he would still not suffice; therefore, and for that reason, I write only what serves every understanding spirit, who is of good will, for true knowledge of God and for true self-knowledge and in the knowledge of the eternal truth for the salvation of true eternal life.

15 He who recognizes the good will, who alone is the eternal truth, the true light, the true eternal life, the beginning, the eternal goodness, love, mercy, forgiveness, justice, and self-sacrifice, and from whom no evil can come, must also know of the existence of the adversary, of the old dragon and Satan, of the father of lies and all wickedness, who, sitting on the throne of his dark hellish pit, behaves as if he were God, and from whom no good can come, because in his deceit, wickedness, and hatred he rages vengefully against all that is of God.

16 This dark adversary of God knows it well and much better than many a flock of the children of God that there is only one true, all-good, eternal God and Father of all life - even the life of the old dragon - he knows it better than many others that nothing can come from God, the Father of all life, that would even remotely be directed against the unchanging, unchangeable properties of the holiest being and spirit of God and not completely correspond to them.

17 Yet, precisely for this reason, the old dragon asserts to those he has corrupted and embodied that he is the true God, who tolerates no other beside him, because he creates great things, previously never before seen, and has not only the key to life, but also the keys to death in his hand, which claim is one of his greatest lies, for there is only life received from and out of God for all that is spiritually and mentally, and never death of destruction and non-existence.

18 The life received once from and out of God, together with the spirit, which it was given in the true world of the kingdom of God at the beginning created by Him, and with the mental body, whose inseparable property the spirit is eternally, form a trinity-trifold: the soul, spirit, life of any spiritually and mentally living being, and this, because it is as soul and spirit its own eternal being and has once received the power of eternal life from and out of God, is un-losing, un-destroying, and un-annihilating.

19 No one, not even God, can take away the life received once by the eternal being of the soul and spirit! - Because it is His life, by which all that is spiritually and mentally lives, and He can and will never take back the given, borne life of the recipients because He is the eternal truth.

20 Just as the spirit is inseparable from its eternal being of the soul and this from its eternal spirit, so is the life inseparable from both, with which it is an inseparable, un-destroying, and un-annihilating trinity of a spiritually and mentally living being.

21 The true world of the kingdom of God knows only the true eternal life of blessedness and peace in beautiful, pure, and sublime creation and action for each other, God and one another for joy; in the true world of the kingdom of God there is nothing in powers and things that could in the slightest way trouble and be detrimental to the spiritually and mentally living, acting, and creating there, and also to the heavenly body borne there.

22 From there, countless and countless flocks have set out to follow the boastful father of lies and wickedness; but they have not been able to reach him and his diabolical creation and have died in the worldless emptiness along with those who went with them for their rescue.

23 But was this their former death, was it the death of destruction and non-existence? Could this death have brought an end to the eternal being of the soul, spirit, and life?

24 No! - For otherwise the same soul with the same spirit and life would not be alive here on earth; it would be impossible that we would be here and with us all that is living of the soul and spirit; but that we are here is the most speaking and irrefutable testimony of our eternal being, a testimony that each being of the soul and spirit does not have God as creator, but that it is its own eternal being, a testimony that death is not a death of destruction and non-existence, but a way, a door, and an entrance into another world created by God for us, to life in another, appropriately fitting world body.

25 That we as soul and spirit are not creations of God is most clearly and irrefutably testified not only by the infinite variety and serious imperfection of the nature of the soul and spirit, but much more so also by the diabolical nature of the soul of the knowledge-capable spirit, who recognizes Satan as the father of lies and all wickedness, the adversary of God's eternal truth, his devils and all humans who cling to him and find pleasure in his diabolical desires.

26 Our former death was the loss of our heavenly body we had, and we all come, each one a single time, into the earthly of this world to be awakened there to the consciousness of our life and being, to recognize good and evil through the earthly body, to show each other good, and through the loss of the earthly body to die again, that is, to enter into that world of the hereafter that we ourselves have already determined and ourselves have already deserved through our mentality, knowledge, and deeds on earth.

Chapter XV

1 These and many other considerations seized my soul as I thought about how to write everything I have seen, heard, and experienced for people so that they can understand my testimony, and the spirit of the written testimony becomes so alive in their soul through the good will of their spirit that they can go confidently towards the salvation of the true eternal life in the kingdom of God in blessed peace. 

2 In these and many other such thoughts, I hardly noticed that I had in the meantime arrived in one of the pure and luminous worlds bordering the kingdom of God, and looking back at the long row of worlds of the hereafter up to its middle, I rejoiced that the number of their inhabitants is so incredibly large that the number of those who took the path of ruin, which I saw in the light-deprived, impure, and dark worlds, almost disappears, and turning towards the true world of the kingdom of God, I thanked in the soul and spirit the All-Good that He has caused such a great and wonderful creation to come into existence for the salvation of all who can muster even a small part of their once great good will.

3 And as I thanked in blessed peace, behold, I saw Him again in the midst of the firmament of His kingdom with outstretched hands for blessing in the indescribably wonderful light of His power; I fell down and heard His voice within me:

4 Jovian! Since you have turned away from the earth for some time, you should now look back at it again so that you can also write further about the work and creation of the people there as testimony and knowledge for those coming.

5 And as I looked up with tears of bliss in my eyes, it seemed to me as if He stood by me and as if His right hand touched my forehead. I could not open my mouth, but in my soul I spoke: Lord! My God! I thank You for all those who have found You again with good will, and for all those who will find You with good will for the salvation of the true eternal life in Your kingdom!

6 How long I remained in this thanks of my soul, I do not know; but when I stood up and looked, behold, I was on earth and, looking at mountains, valleys, countries, and seas, I saw various changes in the external appearance of this world; there was more land than before, a large country was divided, parts of another had moved away, and in between was a sea that was again divided from the greatest sea by the divided large country.

7 Yet, however, the earth was the same weak reflection and the radiance of one of the smallest worlds of the kingdom of God, the same sun, moon, and stars of the universe were there, as everything was created; there was also a diverse plant kingdom, another animal world, and there were also other crowds of people of all colors as at the beginning and subsequently, but, looking from land to land, I saw that in the meantime, in the work and creation of the people, only that change occurred that they had built larger cities and places, created and cultivated fields and gardens, traveled the land with all kinds of vehicles, sailed the seas, and so densely inhabited all the land that I had to estimate their total number at more than twenty-five hundred times one hundred thousand.

8 And a great joy seized me when I found peace among the people everywhere; well, I saw in the soul of many a person an impure, even dark and gloomy mark, but the vast, far-ranging majority carried such in their soul that it appeared weak and extinguished in the light of the mark of their good will and their works.

9 They also stood in much more diligent cultivated communication with their deceased through so many capable seers, prophets, and mediators, knew of their former lives and work in the true world of the kingdom of God, of their turning away from God and their departure from His kingdom, and therefore knew no other worship or service of God except to do good to each other and do good, then also, on every seventh day under the open firmament, to gather together, to speak of the events of their former departure, to hear through a prophet-mediator resident among them or traveling from place to place and from land to land about the kingdom of heaven or the bright hereafter, to praise God through their own words, to thank Him, to rejoice, and to prepare for departing from the earth in such a way that they can later return to Him in His kingdom.

10 According to all this, I saw and recognized that in the creation, work, and knowledge of the people in a period of more than thirty thousand times ten thousand earthly years, almost nothing had changed that would be disadvantageous for them in any way - and I rejoiced endlessly, looking from land to land and from people to people more and more.

11 I saw the people on earth surrounded by crowds of souls of the lighter and light hereafter, but also by pure children of God, occasionally speaking with them through capable mediator-prophets, and also rejoiced that the inhabitants of the impure, dark, and gloomy worlds of the hereafter, whom I occasionally saw individually or in small numbers among the people on earth, had not yet found a mediator, seer, prophet, and therefore also no opportunity to communicate with the people. 

12 I saw their worlds from the earth and when I looked there, behold, I saw the whole series of increasingly impure, dark, and gloomier worlds more clearly inhabited, and already saw a few of these lightless souls making preparations to occupy that dark and threateningly gloomy world from which the border of the creation of the old dragon and Satan, the abyss of hellish darkness, is not too far away.

13 As if I were already seeing into the future, I was greatly frightened in the thought and the idea that those sent out by the old dragon would find the dark newcomers in the dark world that suited them, would learn from them the residence of the sought-after crowds, and perhaps also be led through the dark hereafter to the earth, and prayed to God to give me the strength to follow all the further events closely, I stood once again in that threateningly dark and gloomy world from where I had previously watched the events in the abyss of hell.

14 No longer fear, but an indescribable disgust and horror seized me as I saw the old Satan sitting on his throne again and heard his hoarse, croaking voice as he just cursed with words that could not be repeated and that were often incomprehensible to me and swore the most terrible revenge on every disobedience.

15 I saw around his enormous throne the twenty-four smaller thrones built around it for those he had sent out at that time, on each of the thrones lay the garment he had promised at that time and the crown like gold, in front of each of the thrones also stood the seven lamps of blasphemy - but all twenty-four thrones were empty, none of the twenty he had called the elders sat on them, nor did any of the four he had called the living sit on them.

16 And as I looked around, behold, I saw them, each with his crowd still searching and aligning themselves according to the respective paths and locations of the four living ones of the old Satan, who still gave the others the path of their search with full eyes that flickered like flames of fire in front, behind, sideways, above, and below.

17 As before, one of the four with his crowd passed very close to the world on whose ground I stood, but as the first time, I recognized this time as well that he neither saw the world nor me, nor perceived anything else in any way, and I watched as he and all the others, like mad, continued to search in giant circles.

18 Taken aback and seized by disgust against all this activity, I turned around, but was startled to see that I was no longer alone in the world of horror, but that those whom I had previously seen making preparations to arrive here in a similar world were now there, ten in number.

19 I saw them clearly and immediately found that their appearance was similar to and very similar to that of the devils, because in their bodies formed from the impure things of the worlds they had gone through they looked even more terrible than in their souls; nevertheless, I immediately began to speak to them to prevent them from taking their last step into ruin, but soon realized that they neither saw nor heard me and also did not feel me if I tried to take one or the other by the hand, despite the disgust and horror.

20 So I left them alone, but saw that they all looked entranced in the direction  where I knew the searching devil forerunners were, and now I saw that they all saw the searchers too, and as one of the four with the fire-flaming eyes attached to him everywhere swung with his crowd near the dark world where the ten stood, they raised their hands and began to scream with all their might: Yes - Ave!, efa - aje Yes - Ave? efa aje? Yes - Ave! (The Holy One! where is the Holy One? - where is he? The Holy One!)
