The Essence of God


How God wants us to see the misunderstood and wrongly
taught Trinity
Assembled by H. Betsch
# 3096, HB19

Many Christians had and still have problems with the Trinity the way the
churches define it. For one how can you love a god who is three persons? This
is not compatible with the Old Testament. In Moses 1:27 it says And God
created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him. This shows
that God is the only original, eternal and only primary human. This is
supported as well by the following bible verses: 2 Moses (Exodus) 33:11: The
LORD would speak to Moses face to face, as one speaks to a friend. 2 Moses
33:21: I will put you in a cleft in the rock and cover you with my hand until I
have passed by. 2 Moses 33:22: When my glory passes by, I will put you in a
cleft in the rock and cover you with my hand until I have passed by. Then I will
remove my hand and you will see my back; but my face must not be seen.”

So we can learn from the Old Testament that God is One in one person.
Following that Jesus has granted a much deeper insight into the Being of God.
But how should we see this innermost being of God? The answer to this
question is given by Jesus through Jakob Lorber in the New Revelation.

Here we learn that Jesus is fully God and fully human in one person. The
Father is the divine element in Jesus, the son is the human element in Jesus
and the Holy Spirit is the will power of God which emanates from Jesus into all
infinity and effectuates everything.

What Jesus teaches us in the New Testament as well as in the New Revelation
through Jakob Lorber is this: (a) He Himself is the only and exclusive God, (b)
He Himself is the Father who became man and (c) He is the only, unique,
eternal and non-created primary human who as Jesus and within Jesus has
become a real earthly human.

Jesus shows us that the essentiality of God is specifiable in itself into Father,
Son and Holy Spirit: The Father as non-created eternal primary human lives in
the Son, Jesus, the most perfect and most accomplished created human. This
means two human forms exist within each other as one unique person,

namely the non-created human form of the God-center living within the
created human form Jesus and therefore not two persons Father and Son next
to each other. We see this especially in Jesus’ words and those of the Apostle
Paul: For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form (Col.2:9),
and in the following statements
I am the way and the truth and the life (Jn.14:6),
All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me (Mat.28:18),
I and the Father are one. (Jn.10:30,
I am the resurrection and the life (Jn.11:25 and 14:6)
Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father (Jn.14:9)
The Father is in me (Jn.14:10, Jn.10:38)
The one who looks at me is seeing the one who sent me (Jn.12:45)

As pertains to the Holy Spirit, we are told that it is not a person but the power
emanating from Jesus. It pervades and determines all infinite space.

Here a few citations as illustration.

The name of Jesus

[Spiritual Sun (SpS) 02, 013.02]


“I tell you Jesus is an entity so immense that as His name is spoken, all
of infinity trembles with reverence! If you say ‘God’, you indeed name
the most supreme being of all: but you use the name in its infinity as it
is there that it fills the endless universe with its endless power from
eternity to eternity.

[03] But in the name ‘Jesus’ you describe the complete, almighty,
quintessential centre of God: or, even more clearly expressed: Jesus is
the most plausible, most individual, most quintessential God as a
human, from whom all Divinity which fills infinity, primarily flows like
the rays of the sun, as the spirit of His unending power and strength.
Jesus is therefore the embodiment of the full abundance of the
Godhead. Alternatively: the Godhead lives in Jesus in its infinite
abundance in a truly physical presence. Therefore, the entire divine
infinity is always concerned to ensure that this infinitely most holy and
exalted name is uttered in true love.”

The Father in Jesus

[GGJ (=Great Gospel of John) 08, 26.01-17]

Listen, if it is sure that God as Creator of all beings – yet different from
all other beings who were created by Him – was, is and will be eternal,

2
3096 – The Essence of God - New Revelation through Jakob Lorber

is it then for Him an immovable necessity to remain in that particular


original center? If it is already given to man to move freely with his body
in all directions and even more so with his spirit, how could God in His
limitless freedom restrict Himself in that wherein He gave even His
created beings full freedom? I say to you: the divine infinity has the
power in everything to also move endlessly free. He therefore will also
have the right to change His glory into the flesh in order to be visibly
and understandably present before His created human beings as an
eternal entirely perfect Man.

[2] But the endless glory of God does not have the power – and can
impossibly have it – to create Gods outside of Himself who are
completely equal to Him. For if He would be able to do that, He would
be able to create besides the one endless universe also other equally
endless universes, of which any somewhat clearly thinking person can
already see from a distance that this is the purest nonsense. For if the
first universe is endless in all imaginable directions, then where must
the second equally endless universe begin?

[3] A second perfect God with the fullest endless glory is therefore quite
as unimaginable as a second endless universe. And so you can clearly
see that I who am now just like you walking as a Son of Man in the flesh,
am not a second but only the one and the same God who I was since
eternity before all created beings and also will remain in all eternity.
Therefore, I cannot do anything that is contrary to My eternal glory, but
everything for it.

[4] If I created outside of Me two more Gods, like for instance the Son
and the Holy Spirit, so that the two would be individually different from
Me, then they inevitably could claim all My unlimited power, without
which no God could be imagined, no more than one can imagine a
second or even third endless universe that would be divided in a certain
way, limiting each other. However, if this would be thinkable, then what
about God’s sovereignty of which there can only be one?

[5] There can however exist only one such endless divine sovereign
authority. For if there were three, then God’s endless one Kingdom
would be split, and the existence of it would be quite as unimaginable
and impossible as the existence of three endless universes next to each
other.

[6] The one Kingdom of the one God can exist eternally because only He
is the only King and Lord of it, as it is written in the books of the
prophets, who have prophesized out of the mouth of God: ‘God will give
His glory to no one else’ (Isaiah 42:8). For only I, Christ, am the only
God. Human beings, angels, sovereignties and powers, yes, all things in

3096 – The Essence of God - New Revelation through Jakob Lorber

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 compared to that,
they appear like a total nothing.

[7] If by the names Father, Son and Holy Spirit, not one self-existing
God – the one primordial Being – has to be understood, and instead of
that a Son that is separated from the Father and likewise a different
Holy Spirit would be accepted, then what kind of God would the Father
be?

[8] When it is stated in the books of the prophets – which are not
understood by the people because of their rude simple-mindedness
caused by themselves – that the Father clothes the Son with all power
and glory in Heaven and on all globes and worlds, and has given Him
the Holy Spirit as cooperator to sanctify and to watch over the new
teaching from the Heavens, which is now given to you and over which
only the Son, who I am, has the leadership, just like over all other
things, then I ask you: what kind of God do you think the Father is? Can
you still see a God in Him?

[9] And if in your material-human blindness you still can imagine


another one, then you unquestionably would imagine Him to be useless
and inactive, since you clearly have to perceive that under these
conditions He cannot accomplish anything anymore and can also not
govern over anything anymore. You surely will have to realize in a dark
human manner that God the Father has perhaps delegated His
government to His Son forever because of His high age – just like the
old king Pharaoh in Egypt who delegated the government to Joseph –
and also because of His weakness and tiredness so that He can enjoy
His rest being totally inactive.

[10] Can you really imagine that the Father has become old, and that He
wants to lay down His work because He now has besides Himself a Son
who is in all aspects equally almighty as He is, and further still has an
equally powerful almighty Holy Spirit who He created out of Himself
and His Son, and that He will delegate now the whole government to
both of them, while He Himself will abdicate.

[11] Oh how extremely heathenish foolish, silly and blind would human
reason be to fall into such a madness.

[12] If there exist a Son and a Holy Spirit who are different from the
Father and would exist besides Himself, as this is the case with angels

and human beings, then they can be nothing else except His created
beings, because they did not receive their being – no matter how perfect
it may be – of themselves as a result of their very own and eternal
perfect power, but only from the one Creator.

[13] However, how can there be a complete, divine relationship or a real


unity between a spirit without body and form and a spirit with body and
form? Can it be said that the Son – who is a bodily Person and, as you
can see, has a body – is in the Father if the Father has no body, no shape
and no form? Or can the infinite Father, without having a body, shape
and form be in the Son?

[14] Moreover: if the Holy Spirit is a third person as such, coming from
the Father and the Son, then how can that person have the same
qualities as those two are having and who are equally eternal? Or can
that which receives its existence from another person, be equal to that
which has its existence out of himself? Can eternity ever be equal to the
all-fleeing time, or the limited area to infinity?

[15] Even if one can accept that all the times of times are contained in
eternity and are moving and changing, then it is however impossible to
think and assert that time, no matter how long it lasts, can comprise
eternity. Just like one can also think and assert that the endless
primordial space surely can contain all spaces – which, no matter how
big they may be, are finally still limited – but these last ones can
impossible contain the primordial space.

[16] Thus, if the Holy Spirit would really just like any other created
being go out of the Father and the Son as a being as such, then he
obviously would be a god of time and not of eternity. However, such a
god could then, just like all that which is timely, in course of time cease
to exist. But if this is the case, then who would be able to give an eternal
life to all human beings and angels and maintain it?

[17] In order that this matter of the highest importance would still be
more clear and plain to you, we will continue this subject, and so you
listen to Me.

The Lord as Son

If furthermore, the Son was present since eternity, then how could He
be procreated? And when the Holy Spirit was also there since eternity,
how could He then come forth from the Father and the Son and have
His beginning in Them. If according to your mind and reason the three

5
3096 – The Essence of God - New Revelation through Jakob Lorber

divine persons – contested by you, of whom the future people could


easily make three Gods – are all three eternal, that means without a
beginning, then one of them could not have given the beginning of his
existence to the others.

[2] I am, as I am now with you as a Man in the flesh, the Son, and I was
never procreated by anyone else except by Myself, and consequently I
am My highest own Father since eternity. Where else could the Father
be except in the Son, and where else could the Son be except in the
Father? Thus only one God and Father in one person.

[3] This body of Mine is therefore the glorified shape of the Father for
the benefit of the people and angels, so that I could be an
understandable and visible God for them. Now you can see Me, listen to
Me and speak to Me, and by that still stay alive. Because before, it was
so that no one could see God and live. I am now God in every respect. In
Me is the Father. And the power that goes out of Me according to My
love, wisdom and almighty will and that fills up the eternal endless
space throughout and which is also active everywhere, is the Holy Spirit.

[4] As you can see Me now as God-Man among you, I am with My whole
original central Being certainly completely and undivided in your midst,
here in this dining-hall on the Mount of Olives. And thus, as highest
true God and Man at the same time I am nowhere else, not on this Earth
and even less on another. But still, by the power, which is the Holy
Spirit, that goes out of Me, I fill all the Heavens and the earthly material
and endless space with My activity. I can see everything therein, from
the greatest to the smallest, I understand everything, know everything,
decide on everything, and create, guide and rule over everything.

[5] Now, when you clearly know this out of My mouth, you also will
understand for which reason you shall strengthen by laying your hands
upon them, in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, those
people who believe in Me and who are also acting according to My
teaching, after it has been made known to them.

[6] If you understand the reason now, you also will perceive that the
people who are truly and correctly taught by you, will not easily come to
the idea of accepting three gods as such, because you have named the
three qualities. But I also urge you to give the people a real and truthful
light, because where this will be lacking, the people will easily and
quickly wither and change to all kinds of false doctrines, and then it will
be difficult to bring them on the way of the full truth.
