3.4. Exhortation and Reproof upon the Ministers of the Church of Romania

Oh, heaven is in suffering without comfort, seeing satan overcoming the world and sharing out straying over men; and men should have shepherds to put them upon the way of salvation and to be shepherded by Christ, Who cries out with the voice of His word and calls toward faith the mankind, which perishes without salvation.

You, priests serving in the churches, you, who should have shepherded mankind toward heaven, oh, behold what you do! The world calls you spiritual fathers, and why, indeed, does it call you so? Are you the spiritual fathers of the world? Do you know what the work of the spiritual father is so as to be called so? You must first be spiritual so as to have the worthiness and the gift of a spiritual father and of a servant of Christ among men. But you amuse yourselves like the sinful world, and some of you even worse; and the world has learned to call you spiritual fathers. Behold you like those servants of two thousand years ago, and who taught the world of that time not to believe in Christ, but only in them, in those who gave the order for Me to be crucified upon the cross because they knew who I was, and they did not want Me, oh, and they then fulfilled the Scripture of the crucifixion of God the Son. Now behold you too like those of that time; and just like them you too are hostile to the One Who comes from heaven as word upon the earth so as to draw toward salvation and toward saving faith those who are unbelieving because of the love of sin.

Oh, who teaches you to tell men not to believe in My word and not to draw near toward My voice, which calls toward faith? I said two thousand years ago: «He who believes in Me, even if he shall die shall be alive, and he shall not come to judgment, for he has moved from death to life». Oh, behold what faith means! But you empty man of faith and you are enemies to their souls and you are worthy of mercy and of weeping. Woe to you! Your boldness is not unbelief, but it is conceit, it is haughtiness, it is the sickness of the scribes and of the Pharisees, it is the longing for glory from men. But the day comes for you to care and for it to cost you what you do when you teach men not to believe and not to draw near, but to remain on your side. Oh, are you better for them? What can you give them in exchange for the love of God and for the salvation through faith in the Son of God, Who makes Himself word over the earth and calls mankind to salvation?

Behold, you urge toward the sin of unbelief those shepherded by you; and I, the Lord, come from heaven and cry out from the clouds, shepherding with tenderness those whom you let stray through sins of every sort, while you say that you are their spiritual fathers. Woe to you and woe to them! Behold, you have taken God’s place and you have made your own way, like those of two thousand years ago who taught everyone not to believe in the Nazarene and in His sect. But I have a great name in heaven and upon the earth from then until today, and they are shamed for ever, those who were then leading the world astray; and likewise shall you too be shamed, for you take from men the right to walk upon the heavenly and saving way, and upon which there is no question of you walking, for you all love sin and you do not want with God.

It is a day of Sunday and I do My work of priest after the order of Melchizedek and I shepherd with the word the heaven and the earth and mankind; and I have shepherded you too, those of you who like to be called spiritual fathers and to be listened to by those who hear the voice of My word, which goes from end to end toward the testimony that the time has come for Me to come as word upon the earth and that I have a great name, a new name, for My name is called The Word of God, just as this mystery of the end of the age is written in the Scriptures.

And behold, behold what tidings I now leave to be known, for the orthodox servants and Christians, and above all the priests who do not believe in My word of this time, these are reckoned with the unbelieving, if they came upon My word and cast it off with their haughty mind, like that of those of two thousand years ago who set Me aside through the haughtiness of their mind, and by no means humbled themselves for their evil and proud deeds of every manner, departing from God for their own selves, oh, and there is no heavier sin than unbelief, than the parting from God through unbelief, for those who part from Me do this for the sin in which they stand and remain, oh, and they remain with their desires and with the world and with all that urges man to part from Me for the things within him, like Adam, who chose himself and fell away from God and from paradise.

Behold, sons, there are two kinds of families upon the earth. There are those who marry because of the lust of the body and of the spirit of the world, and those raise a family after the body and are like the world, lovers of sin and of pleasures, being tempted always by their own lust, which gives birth to sin, and from which the sons of men are born upon the earth. And again, there are those who make themselves the family of Christ, sons who love heaven upon the earth and endowed by the Holy Spirit to choose themselves for Me and to choose from among the sons of men those who love holiness and are full of faith and of longing for the kingdom of the heavens upon the earth, and giving themselves to God with their love and with their life; and behold a family of sons of the right faith, a family after the spirit of Christ, of the love of holiness and of My coming to them for the works of God written in the Scriptures to be fulfilled upon the earth through faithful and holy sons. Oh, and behold Me here, where I have built Myself a holy citadel upon a foundation with the great name of New Jerusalem, and which comes down from heaven together with My coming, being met by the sons, the watchmen in the citadel; and this mystery spreads as the Scripture says and is sealed for God, and these fulfilments come upon the earth, for this time has come, oh, and those locked in their mind and with their eyes bound to mysteries do not know, these do not know how to understand and to believe if it is not given them because of their hardening, of their unbelief and of their longing for freedom and for passing pleasures.
