hundred and thirty years, JESUS CHRIST
there is on earth a vast through
ensemble of spiritual Jakob Gottfried

writings known as the
New Revelation, whose
authors, the Austrian
Jakob Lorber and, later,
the German, Gottfried
Mayerhofer, alike all the
prophets of the scriptures,
sustained that they were

nothing but simple
messengers of God’s words. The two men explained very clearly that these writings were not
conceived by them, but only the fruit of a mysterious dictation perceived by them as coming from
the area of their hearts.
The real author, the one who spoke the words that they put on paper (including those that you
will be reading here), declared himself to be, in all these texts, JESUS CHRIST Himself.
The New Revelation is the greatest personal and direct testimony of a omnipotent, omniscient
and most loving Father-Creator, Who never abandoned His creation, Who never left us on this
earth as orphans, Who is manifest in the existence of every atom, every cell of our body, every
fiber of our soul, every particle of our spirit, Who confesses us the ultimate love of the Father able
and willing not only to give His earthly life, but also His spiritual, eternal one, in order to have the
last of us saved…

now giving out so much
of the bread of heaven,
as has never happened
since the day I walked
on earth, is that now
indeed the time is
approaching when the
world reaches the
culmination of its
aberrations and
deviation from My
plan of creation.“

I value you because I know your heart;
it only needs the right guide who will

I, your most gracious Father, am telling
you. Amen."

“One must be a living, active doer of the word in order to be released from the night of
eternal death - and not only a hearer, or ultimately even a critic, what is even worse, a
despiser and then even a denier of My word.
And I tell you this in addition: if anyone has a doubt and cannot fully believe this
communication, so that through it he becomes alive in his heart, he will do better not to
touch it for, if he has touched upon it, he has also reinforced the inner judge towards
death.
But if he has not touched upon it, his judgment will also be easier, and the way to the
negative pole more tolerable and, perhaps, after eternities, also reversible.
But whoever reads it and considers it as a powerful signpost towards life, and does
accordingly, truly, he already has the victory within himself, all of which is your father’s
sole, holy love-will eternally. Amen.” (The Fly, final chapter 12:45, 12:60-61)

"Thus spoke the Lord to me and within me for everyone, and that is true, faithful and
certain:
- You are the Lot of Sodom, but make sure that you do not suffocate in unchastely and
thus participate in the heritage of the harlot, for you are unlike anyone before or after
you. As a man you are entirely in the flesh and its lust, but as a spirit you are completely
free, with open eyes and open ears. You soil your body with dirt, whilst streams of light
are poured upon your spirit. Your body feeds with the swine, whilst a thousand angels
surround your spirit. You have filled your earthly heart with mire and dirt, but I have
made My abode in the heart of your spirit. You talk with harlots, whilst I talk to you as a
brother to his brother. You stink like a cesspool, and your spirit breathes the sweet odors
of the highest heavens. You are a horrible creature, but your eye shines more than the
suns. Therefore, cleanse your flesh and become one with Me, so that I may become One
with you." (The Household of God I, 2:1)

and beams of light will envelop you,
which you, following My example,

For, treading in My footsteps, you
are doing the same thing I did and
am always doing. In other words,
retaining your human and spiritual
dignity, you shall rise to that which I
want to make you, namely, children
of an eternal God and forever
loving Father."

matter of what religion – whether
Roman, Protestant, Jewish, Turkish,
Brahmin or benighted heathen – in
short, it goes for all: on earth there is
only one church, and this is the love for
Me in My Son. This love is the Holy Spirit
within you, which reveals itself to you
through My living Word. Thus I am in
you; and your soul, whose heart is My
dwelling place, is the sole Church on
earth. In it alone there is eternal life,
and it is the sole redeeming one! (...) Or

“The teaching itself must
justify the truth. Whoever will
henceforth fail to live
according to the Word, will die
in the judgement of the same
Word that was spoken to him
and which he had not believed
and trusted.
For just as I, out of Myself, have received the power from the Father to give eternal life to
everyone who is capable (of receiving it) through his will, or take it from him, the same
can be done also by My Word. For My Word is invariably the almighty and everlasting
expression of My will.
He who fully absorbs My Word and unfailingly acts and lives according to it, thereby
absorbs Me with all My love, wisdom, might and power and has thus become a true child
of God from whom the Father in heaven will not withhold anything He has. “

of JESUS CHRIST
through Jakob Lorber &
Gottfried Mayerhofer
“You are completely right when you say that the Kingdom of God has come to you in Me
and is now with and among you, but this is still not sufficient to attain to the eternal life
of the soul and keep it completely, for although the Kingdom of God has come to you in
Me, it has by that not yet penetrated in your inner self, which only can and will happen
when you will have completely accepted My teaching in your will and thus also in
everything that you do, without considering the world. Once this will be the case, you will
say no more: ‘Christ, and with Him the Kingdom of God has come to us and He lives with
us and is among us’, but you will say: ‘Now it is not I who lives, but Christ lives in me’.
When this will be the case with you, then you will also completely understand that the
Kingdom of God does not come with outer pomp and splendor to and in men, but that it
develops only inside of man and draws the soul into the eternal life of that Kingdom of
God and will keep him permanently in it.” (The Great Gospel Of John Book 21, 40:9)

through Jakob Lorber &
Gottfried Mayerhofer
“Many of the countless people
on those stars know by their
angels that a soul can only
attain to the true childhood of
God on this Earth, but
only by means of
a heavy and difficult
life in the flesh.
When they want, they will be allowed that their souls will also be begotten in the flesh
on this Earth. Once they are here, they also have to accept that for a short time they
have to go through it, because by that they will reach forever the triumph of the full
equality with God, and therefore they can also submit to a few things, since I also,
voluntarily, out of love for My children have submitted to a lot of things, and also will
have to submit to something very big and bitter, for the salvation of My children.
God’s Kingdom can only by obtained by force and great sacrifices.”
(The Great Gospel Of John Book 18, chap. 64:2)
28. “However, God did not create human beings as so-called
playing dolls for Himself, but as completely equal images
of Him, which He has brought to life out of Himself, not as
creatures of His almighty arbitrariness, but as true
children of His eternal fatherly love. And He has given
them a creative quality, which is completely equal to Him,
in order to develop themselves completely freely out of
their own power of life according to their own totally free
will until they are completely equal to God.
And look, for this reason, the development of men’s free
will may not be slowed down by any godly force. “

him, and has become himself, in all his nature, a living Word of God, and is therefore in his
spirit from God. But if that is so, who can say that then the whole person has not
proceeded from God? But if a man, through his being completely filled with the spirit of
God, has become in his whole being the living Word of God, fully filled with the spirit of
God, is he then not a God, seeing that what is perfectly divine must everywhere be
regarded as God, and all the more in the case of man?” (The 3 Days Scene, 9:8)

AM THE ONLY GOD. Human beings, angels, sovereignties and powers, yes, all things in
Heaven and on all globes have always bowed before Me and will throughout eternity only
bow before Me and never for anybody else, just like the cosmic spaces of creation that
seem endless in your eyes are devoured by the one endless space of creation, and

neither great knowledge, nor the greatest deal

important purpose, and prescribe the fly a usefulness in all its seemingly insignificant
functions, - how much more would I provide for man, who is not only My creation, but
truly a CHILD OF MY LOVE, or at least should become one, which means that he should
recognize that I am a Father to him, not simply a Creator, as I am to the stones and clumps
of earth.
Yes, even a marginally devout childlike heart has to say that I give Fatherly care to the
silent grass in the field, - and such is true, yes, very true, for only the Father gives food

42. "I, love personified, have created you out of love, and so you, the
created, must strive to emulate this Creator, who laid the spark of love
into you, as much as it is within your power.
This is the actual fundamental meaning of love, of the dignity of man,
who, curbing his passions of anger, hatred or revenge, does, suffers
and feels everything only out of love, only for others.
Therefore, man's dignity consists only in the subjugation of anything
ignoble, be it in thoughts, word or deed!

“Without Me, no one can achieve anything for the salvation of his soul. And even if he has

acknowledge in himself that he has been a lazy and slow servant, and give the honor only
to God for all the good deeds he has done, then God will always support him and make
him strong.
He who will always give the honor to God for all the good things he has done, is pleasing to
Him and is a real helper and servant after His heart. God will not leave the one who will not
leave God in his heart, but will protect him with His hand. However, the one who will leave
God in his heart and who will pay little or no attention at all to Him, who thinks to be his
own lord and act according to his worldly reason, and who will let himself be honored,
speaking about his cleverness and noble deeds when he succeeded something, rewards
himself and will not have to expect any reward from God.
For all the good and true things that you do, do them in My name, and I will be with you
and will support you and make you strong.” (The Great Gospel Of John Book 22, 27:3-4)

emulate this Creator, who laid the spark of love into you as much as it is within your
power. This is the actual fundamental meaning of love, of the dignity of man, who,
curbing his passions of anger, hatred or revenge, does, suffers and feels everything only
out of love, only for others.“ (Secrets of life, chap. 24)

human beings also in spirit, I Myself do not interfere — no matter how foolishly they may
act. All I do is allow them to reach, unperturbed, that which they have so eagerly striven
for as if their life's happiness depended on it.
It does not make any
difference to Me whether
the consequences are
good or bad. What they
create they get. Although
I know what will happen
afterwards, I can — and must
— not intervene with My
omnipotence; for if I do that,
man ceases to be a man.

“I said: “That for which you will ask the Father in My name, will also be given to you. For
only the Father is good and has no pleasure in the suffering of people, but He also does
not prevent that such things come over the people if they, out of sheer love for the world,
forget the Father, do not have faith and direct themselves in that which must give them
all kinds of misfortune.
Walk continuously on the ways that I have truly shown to you now, then you only will
have little to suffer and your departure from this world will be easy.”

“Man’s heart however, is like the wine skin; it keeps growing stronger and more alive
through the truth, but is forced through falsehood and deceit to finally pass into
complete death, since it is also the center of life.
If in your heart you believe that there is a God, you will love Him because in the heart
everything is permeated by love. And if you love God, God's highest power has entered
into your heart and, thus, into your life.
Yet God’s power is not somehow limited, but pervades the whole everlasting infinity. If
in unison with this divine power you are stimulated within your life's ground, the divine
power within you is stimulated simultaneously and whatever this wills, will happen
without fail.” (The Great Gospel Of John,Book 12, 73:2-4)

Good for those whom I shall try a great deal, for they will recognize from it that I love

will be set over fewer and lesser things. “. (The Great Gospel of John VIII, 103:9-12)

people brings you salvation. For all life is the fruit of
God’s constant, never tiring activity and therefore
can only be maintained and preserved for eternity
through proper activity whereas nothing but death
does and must result from inactivity.
The heart of the soul, however, is called love, and its
pulsating expresses itself in true and full love-
activity.
Thus constant love-activity is the never wearying
pulse beat of the soul’s heart. The more actively the
heart of the soul pulsates, the more life is generated
in the soul and once thereby a sufficiently high
degree of life, this awakens therein the life of the
divine spirit. This - as the very life, because the
untiring supreme activity itself - then flows into the
soul that has become equal to it through love
activity, and everlasting imperishable life has fully

effective for eternity? I say to you and to you all: with nothing else except with the truth
that I have taught you and with the power of extreme self-denial and the true and full
humility of the heart.
Strive only for that which you recognize as truth, and then act according to it and not out
of appearance for some worldly reason like the temple servants and also many gentiles
are doing. Then by that, you will have conquered in yourself the complete Hell and its
prince. All evil spirits that are present in all matter will not be able to harm you anymore.
And even if an endless great number from the whole great Man of Creation would attack
you, then they nevertheless will have to flee away from you as loose chaff and as desert
sand for the mighty storm.
But if the treasures of the Earth are holding you captive, so that you in order to possess
them, would also deny the recognized truth, then you are already conquered in your soul

of life of this one, forever immutable, Spirit, that is yet united with
its outer-life ether which fills all infinity. In contrast to
the soul's outer life-sphere which, as a substance,
cannot spread beyond the limits of a certain
space because of the diversity of the
foreign elements it encounters,
the outer life-ether of the Spirit
cannot ever come across foreign
elements since it is basically all
things itself. Thus, it can without
hindrance forever see, feel, hear
and understand all. And on
this is based, easily comprehensible,

pull out a plant, do they
know whether the tree or
plant feels something during
this violent act? They do not
know! But their lack of
awareness is no proof that
the tree or the plant does
not physically feel pain and,
spiritually, death. For what
your senses momentarily
fail to perceive does not
prove its non-existence.
This emotional life is thus probably more or less present in everything created, in keeping
with its individuality (nature). Now it surely is natural to ask: If, according to certain laws,
the feeling is there, who established these laws, who showed them their established
limits beyond which they cannot go?
Where there are laws, there must also be a lawgiver, for elements and natural forces do
not evolve spontaneously. Therefore, since the laws naturally imply a lawgiver,
it goes without saying that with the wisest laws there must also be a most wise
lawgiver who is the quintessence of all wisdom.” (Secrets of life, chap. 10)

“The fact that God does not let Himself found so easily as many people would like, has
the following very wise reason: if people would find with little effort what they are
seeking, then the thing they have sought for would soon have no more value for them
and they would make little effort to seek and investigate further. They would become
lazy, and then the spiritual treasure that was found so easily and fast would be even less
useful to them than when they had to seek that treasure continuously and anxiously,
which they can find in this world only seldom completely and with much effort.
Therefore, great revelations happen only rarely, so that people will have to make effort
themselves in the fear of their soul’s night in searching with all zeal the eternal truth, and
thus Me.” (The Great Gospel Of John IX,19:8)
86. "Only those people who in their soul are
trying to become like Him or are already
more or less like Him, will be able to find
God. But to become equal to God means:
to become full of love for your fellowmen,
and to let your heart be full of humility,
meekness, patience and mercy regarding
everybody. Then God will also have mercy
on you, and in the spirit of His love and
eternal truth He will let Himself be found
by you. If you only want to search God in
and with the only truth , then you will find
Him indeed, but you will not see His real
being and even less understand it.
However, if you are searching God in the

is for the heart of man his natural intellect. This
descends in well-ordered, good thoughts, ideas and
concepts into the heart, or to the earth in man,
enlightens it and quickens the germs toward good
and noble acts. Is the light of the intellect still weak,
as is the light of the sun in winter, the heart still
becomes more sensible and wiser; but because it
still abides too much in self-love, the noble germs
within it do not sprout, grow and bring living fruits of
action to fruition. If a person through diligence and
proper use of his talents and abilities becomes
increasingly more enlightened in his intellect, this
light will also awaken the vital warmth in the heart
all the more mightily and the seeds for good deeds
within it will begin to sprout, grow and blossom; and
soon they will be bringing forth fully ripened noble THE NEW REVELATION

“Although your eye can see and your reason can recognize nothing else except judgment,
persecution, robbery, murder, death, decay and perishability, it is not as you imagine
these things, but quite different.
Firstly the laziness, which is an inevitable attachment of the matter of the body, is the
greatest enemy of the soul who must become more and more awake and active, for only
through that can she becomes completely similar to the Spirit of God in her, and thus
become similar to God. And the hotter the countries are where people have built their
houses, the more they are threatened by this first enemy of the soul.
If in such countries there would not be all kinds of animals that are troublesome for man,
and if he did not have to take care for the nourishment of his body, then he also would
not take care for the development of the powers of his soul. He soon would look like a
sea polyp or like the roots of a tree that have nothing else to do except to suck to them
the nutrients that are suitable to them, from the water, from the soil and from the air
through its organic-mechanical system.” (The Great Gospel Of John, Book 23, 2:3-5)

"Yet nature is everywhere
calling out to you: ‘We are! but
not by chance, nor knit together
according to your 'laws', but out of
and through a higher power, brought
into form... We are! but not 'force' and
'matter', as you believe in your blindness;
we are 'spirit'! - bound spirit, dissolved spirit,
spirit creative in form and again destroying
its forms, so that in the end we shall emerge from
all the struggle transformed into spirit, to show you
that everywhere in nature everything is spirit, and that
you merely lack the spirit to comprehend, refusing,
despite revelation in visible and invisible nature to
come round to the admission:
‘YES, WE REALIZE THAT WE KNOW NOTHING.’’’
(Secrets of life, chap.13)
90. “And look, it is this love, which, as a divine spark
originating from Me, appeases the animal
towards its immediate environment, sending a
light-beam of joy, of well-being into the little
animal soul, so that it does not only follow the
urge to feed and of self-preservation but knows
also a higher spiritual pleasure, which does not
bind to matter, but binds spirit to spirit.”

are endowed with
enough intelligence to
approach you human
beings and if you knew
how much love and
devotion often lies in an
animal soul nestling
against you, which would
feel happy if a higher
human spirit would
concern himself with it,
you would certainly be
amazed at the qualities
present in such an animal,
which would shame many
a man and force him into
humbly abandoning his
proud notion of being the
ruler of all that was
created.”

and who is very fond of him is also aware that
he is near his master, runs to him and shows
through all kinds of jumps, facial expressions
and affections that he loves his master and
knows him well. But he does not run to a
foreigner, and when someone comes near his
master he is furiously attacked, and he follows
no one else’s voice but only the voice of his
master. But who tells the dog that such
person is his master and no one else?

knows this, but the dog’s soul that is already THE NEW REVELATION of JESUS CHRIST
on a higher level of intelligence. But how? Through Jakob Lorber & Gottfried Mayerhofer
Look, man as well as animals possess an outer sphere that surrounds them, which is
necessary for life and which is very related to their soul. Many people who live very simply
can often notice from a distance of several hours of walking that a friend, whom they knew
before and who was absent for a long time, comes to meet them, and they even can
determine the time on which that friend will come to them.
Animals often possess an even sharper capability to detect and notice if something is hostile
or friendly to them from an even greater distance. Dogs and cats possess that capability to a
very high degree . “ (The Great Gospel Of John, Book 25, chap. 8:6-9)
93. The animal world, so trampled upon by you, often suffers far more than you. It often
suffers not merely through laws of nature, which, for the sake of the animals’ progress,
has also woven suffering and conflicts into their short lives, but it suffers mostly
innocently through that which man inflicts upon it, and which far surpasses in
heartlessness your slavery and other despotism which you are trying to abolish
everywhere!

Whenever an animal's brood, its habitation is destroyed, watch its fear, its pain, its
restless running about; watch it and be ashamed because you yourselves so often
mercilessly commit such an act of cruelty, fancying to be "the lords of the worlds".
If I allow such things, not punishing them as they deserve, it is because these sufferings,
harsh and bitter as they are for the dumb creature, must nevertheless help in the
strengthening of its soul- and spirit-life. (Secrets of life, chap. 24)

concerned, through vegetarianism, he
provides the soul with a healthy body,
while another human being is prone
more to ailments and maladies,
wherein the cause presents a puzzle.
When you are permeated with the
beautiful spirit of compassion, and do
not want to take the life of an animal,
merely to turn its flesh into your own,
you do well should you not wish to do
that. Because everything a human
being is convinced of as a spiritual
being, he should never do the opposite,
since it would have a harmful effect
upon him.” (The Lord through Gottfried
Mayerhofer, 12.9.1870)
96. “As for the excesses and cruelties of the human race against the animal this kept pace
with the decline of man's own spiritual dignity, bringing mankind spiritually and
physically to a stage that will also soon be approaching its end. Then the human
spiritual dignity will soon again occupy its proper position, which man will actively
exercise not only towards his fellowman but also towards everything inferior to him.
Then the earth will again be peopled with spiritual human beings towards whom the
animals will be inclined in a less hostile manner, so that man will recognize the former
lost Paradise in the unity of all living beings as the great spiritual school of life.
Everything is striving towards it. THE REGENERATING SPIRITUAL WIND COMES FROM
ALL DIRECTIONS. “(Secrets of life, chap. 24)

97. “Imagine yourself a human soul in its original
unspoiled state as a true sun among all the various
enlivened creatures containing a soul, which all have
to submit to the human soul, since they take from its
outer life sphere, when this like the soul, is in perfect
order, their life light and spiritual life warmth to
vegetate in their further rising soul life sphere, and
thereby become gentle, tolerant and obedient. Since
the souls of plants as well as animals have the to you
of course still very unknown destination, ONCE TO

The plants and even more so the animals are nothing
