27. Chapter – John 5:41 – ‘I do not receive honor from men.’

Written down through Jacob Lorber on the 05.02.1844

1. I do not receive honor from men.

2. This text declares with a few words, what kind of Covenant I have with men, namely… no Covenant of honor. Because men, in the way they are, are truly no honor to Me. I also did not create men, that they should honor Me.

3. But I do have a Covenant with men, and that is called ‘Love’, which means something completely different than honor!

4. Who are those, who let themselves be honored? – These are the rulers, princes and great ones of the world.

5. Why do they let themselves be honored? – Because they want to be more than men, even though their conscience does tell them, that they are not more than men.

6. What is the honor, which one shows towards another? – It is nothing more than the basic fear of the stronger and mightier one! Because the weaker one fears the blows and the relentlessness of the stronger one. Therefore, the weaker one crawls before him and honors him and worships him literally, so that the mightier one, bribed by such flatteries, does not strike him. The more reverent the weaker one gets towards the stronger one, the more overambitious and cruel the stronger one also becomes.

7. Question… Is such a tribute a fruit of a good or evil seed? – I mean… Like the fruit, so must the seed be as well!

8. So do you think, that I should take that from men, which is an abomination and an atrocious and nasty smell before Me?!

9. For what reason should I let Myself be honored by men? Because I am God, and the human beings are My creatures?! Because I am Almighty and all men are nothing compared to Me?!

10. Of what use would this honor be to Me?! Will I become even more God, and will My Omnipotence become greater?!

11. Could I become even more God through the tributes of men?! – I don’t think so, that is why I have not issued any law… ‘You shall honor the Lord, your God above everything!’ – Instead, only ‘Love Me above everything’. That is why it says in the present text, that I am not looking for honor from men. Because there is already One in Me, who truly honors Me from all eternity.

12. Oh what joy do I get from the ‘ad majorem dei gloriam-deeds’ (all for the greater Honor and Glory of God) or, as you’re used to say in the world… ‘All Glory be to God!’. You can easily recognize that in this text. Because whosoever does not honor Me within his heart like a bride who loves her groom with a burning passion, that honor is an abomination before Me!

13. Of what use is the thousandfold ‘Lord, we honor you!’, – all the while their hearts are full of filth? – Such an honor shall be pelted at from the entire hell!

14. Because all those, who honor Me in such a ceremonial way, are those, who call to Me ‘Lord, Lord!’ and they may sing to Me a thousand litanies and say… ‘Lord, we honor You and praise Your strength!’ – ‘Lord, we beg You, answer our prayers!’ and ‘Lord, have mercy upon us!’ and they may add to that a thousand times… ‘Honor be to God our Father!’ etc.
