Therefore, the Light will be taken away from you and given to the Gentiles

THE GREAT GOSPEL OF JOHN - Volume 7 Chapter 188
Revealed by Jesus Christ thru the inner Word to Jakob Lorber

(John 9:35-41) The Lord examines the counter-arguments of the Pharisees

1. The Pharisees say: ìWe can see that You indeed possess a special power, one that was certainly unknown up until now; a power specifically concerning the healing of many different human diseases, which no doctor should be technically able to heal. We are also aware of the fact that it appears to be possible for You to call individuals who had recently died back to life, or to reawaken them. Furthermore, we have also heard that You are sober, decent, and quite charitable, that You have never asked anything from anyone in exchange for Your extraordinary healings. Well, these are undeniably good and excellent characteristics!

2. However, while doing all this You claim to be the Son of God, saying that You are the promised Anointed One of God. Moreover, You disregard the laws of Moses and associate with gentiles, tax collectors and all kinds of sinners. Behold, these are Your bad and evil characteristics, which can never be approved by the temple, because it strictly keeps the laws of Moses.

3. Why do You exalt Yourself so much before men because of Your special qualities, since You are clearly just a man? Who can have any respect for You when You want us to believe that You are the Son of God and the promised Anointed One of God, condemning the one who, for one reason or another, cannot believe You? You said that You are the Truth, the Light and the Life, but how can You prove to us that all this is indeed so? Convince us of Your claims, and we shall believe in You.î

4. Said I: "Take a look at these stones strewn along the ground. I could convince these stones more easily than you of the fact that I am the One of whom Moses and the prophets have prophesied.

5. If I perform signs which no one, not even the greatest prophet, has ever performed before, then this should surely open your eyes, so you would recognize the signs of this time, for your own sake. But you are blind, deaf and hardhearted, and as such, you see, hear and feel nothing. That is why judgment of yourself lies within you, and with it, the certain death of your souls.

6. Every year you whitewash the graves of the forefathers and the prophets. These graves and you yourselves have much in common. On the outside, you are indeed clothed with the law of Moses and Aaron, upon whose chairs you are seated, but on the inside, you are full of decay and a most disgusting stench.

7. You have said that it is a bad and evil characteristic of Mine to associate with gentiles, tax collectors and sinners, and that I am a violator of the Sabbath, not keeping the laws of Moses. However, do you keep his laws? I tell you: You do not keep the laws of Moses, not even in the slightest. You yourselves have established a great number of senseless and useless laws, which you keep because they grant you material benefits, and with which you oppress and exploit the poor people. Did Moses command as such to you? If, according to the law of Moses, it is allowed and even commanded to feed the ass, the ox and the sheep, even on a Sabbath, and to give them to drink, and if a donkey has fallen into a ditch or pit, to get him out, would it then not be better and more reasonable to help a person in need, even on a Sabbath? Oh you blind and deaf fools of heart and mind! Is man of any less value to God than an animal?!

8. Did Moses not give the following commandment: "Honor your father and your mother, that you may live long and that it may go well with you on Earth" Then why are you saying to the children: "Come here and bring an offering to the temple, which will be more beneficial to you." If this is what you teach, then are you actually complying with the law of Moses?!

9. Did Moses not solemnly give the same commandment to everyone, not to oppress the widows and orphans? But what are you doing? You promise to protect the widows and orphans with long and allegedly effective prayers, seizing their possessions, but when the widows and orphans, upon realizing that your prayers are of no use to them, complain to you in tears, you push them out and exclaim that they are sinners, from whom God will not receive even the strongest prayers! Do tell Me, did Moses ever command such things?
