1.7. The Fulfillment of the Law through Christ

Oh, I came as a little Child and submitted Myself to the ordinance according to the law, and My parents took Me to present Me to the Lord, and I was met in the temple by the righteous Simeon, old in days, who stretched out his arms and received Me with My coming and blessed Me and announced Me through the ages by the spirit and the gift of prophecy; and behold, from the Scriptures is learned the knowledge about God and faith afterwards, not from a reading of man, even were he holy with his life and urging many toward a holy life; but each has as much understanding as the Lord sets him to have. And when the Holy Spirit writes the history of God with men, oh, this is otherwise, for it comes from God, not from man; and man is only a bearer of the things set over him that they may remain in time for the witness of My walking between heaven and earth through the spirit of prophecy, through the first gift among the gifts of the works of the Holy Spirit, as it is written.

I came two thousand years ago and I began with the washing, with the baptism, with John the Baptist. I set through him at the water of the Jordan the sign from the time of the prophet Elijah, when his disciple parted the waters with the mantle left him as inheritance of the heavenly power which remained at work after the taking up of the prophet Elijah among the saints, he who was full of zeal that the Lord might be able over the earth against the idolatrous straying of that time; and behold, again at the Jordan the waters spoke, their course turning back, when I drew near to be baptized by John, whom I prepared as My forerunner toward men, that they might understand My work begun in the midst of men after I was baptized by John at the Jordan.

Great was the mystery and the work of that day, for which I prepared John with My word over him, seen or unseen by him in the time of My word for his preparation as My forerunner and baptizer and witness afterwards over the multitudes who went toward him for baptism in the water of the Jordan, which knew Me as Maker, turning back its flowing as a sign seen by those who were then at the baptism, and who bore witness through the ages of the Lamb of God, of Him called Lamb by John at the Jordan.

We are inseparable at the table of today in the citadel, and we set upon the table the speaking between Us, oh, for I met with you in the wilderness of the Jordan and prepared you with the word that you might be My baptizer and show Me to the world through the baptism with water; and when the Father sent the Holy Spirit to do His work of witnessing, coming in the likeness of a dove and settling upon My head, and when the Father said: “You are My beloved Son in Whom I am well pleased”.

I met with you and My Being was still hidden before you, but We dwelt much together and no one knew this. You sent your disciples to ask Me when you heard of the walking of Christ through the multitude, and I sent them toward you to bear witness to you of what they saw, for the whole world saw the healing of the blind and of the lame and of the deaf and saw the good tidings over the poor, oh, and more than that the world did not know. It knew Me by the name set through the angel who called Me Jesus and called Me Christ Who was to come, seen, from the Father for the salvation of Israel, oh, but no one received Me, but only rejoiced in the good done to those in pain; only that afterwards My name remained upon the earth two thousand years and was no longer wiped away, however much the enemy antichrist gave himself that I should no longer be heard of; but I am the Word of the Father as also then when I stayed with you in the wilderness and gave you from heaven, and so beautiful was it for those in heaven, My work with you and yours with Me, for We were the sent ones of the Father, and the Father worked through Us, and therefore I came to you in the wilderness and prepared Myself to enter the baptism with water, and that you might then come forth with the witness about Me, with the baptism with the Holy Spirit after the baptism with water, oh, and how beautiful for those in heaven was Our work! All that We worked has remained as witness over the earth, and We are now in the Father, and I come with My coming from the Father to prepare My kingdom, which from then you announced, and you prepared My way for My showing at the Jordan, oh, and We went then to the Father, you through martyrdom and I through resurrection for all those who shall rise, that the life of the age to come may then arrive; and happy and much happy are those who have in heaven ones arrived before them, forerunners, and who can no longer perish together with this world so lost and so empty of life, oh, and what shall I do, then, with it?

Oh, I worked then in light the whole making of the heaven and of the earth, and all believed Me and listened to Me and came to be and appeared, and on the sixth day of the days of the making I built man from clay and made him word over My making, and he set names upon all that had been made, and man learned to speak, even as I also spoke and worked, and all received through Me a name set by man, for man was then My fruit, My making, and he worked from the root from which he received the spirit of life, until satan whispered to him no longer to do My will, but his own, and from then My work over man is heavy in every way, and I spoke a word then and said to satan: “Enmity I shall put between you and the woman, between your seed and her seed, and she shall crush your head”, oh, and this time came two thousand years ago, when the Father sent Me to be born a Child upon the earth and to overcome satan and to set back in place the mystery of God and its working then among men, oh, and I could not work save with those full of faithfulness in all this time, and I drew toward Me and toward the Father only those like Joshua and Caleb, and so I repaired, with those faithful to Me, what had been spoiled by the man built by My hand at the beginning; and now, at the end of the time written in the Scriptures to come, behold Me again as word over the earth in the midst of unbelief and of the unbelieving, but I came also with the beginning, I came with the word from the beginning, and through which all things were made, for My word has life in it, and this life is the light of men, and which enlightens every man coming into the world, as it is written, but the world and its spirit leave much to be desired for faith, and therefore to those who received Me, to those who believe in My name, was given the right to become sons of God, born of God, as it is written, for I, the Lord, the Word from the beginning, Who was made flesh and dwelt among men full of grace and of truth, I am He Who speaks today also, but the world does not know Me, does not know of Me if it does not want Me; only that I come to crush the head of the enemy who arose in paradise against Me and against man, and I come to fulfil by crushing his head, as at the beginning I spoke that I should fulfil.
