1.3. The Fall of Man; the Fall of the Angels
After I built the man and put My spirit of life in him, he immediately exalted himself, he became haughty and then he immediately hid from God; he felt in his body to commit this sin and this was his separation from God, Whom he perceived as his enemy. Oh, behold, what sin teaches man! The sin has the most hidden face and carries in it its seen and unseen things. I want to make the man used to let himself be made by God, that God may be made by grace so that there may no longer be enmity between him and God because of the sin hidden in him and which he cannot hide from God.
You, those who come at the spring of the wisdom of God’s mysteries, of the visible and invisible things of God, learn from Me that the man has in the creation that the makes, the visible and invisible things worked by him and which God knows them all very well. Men are enemies and killers to each other, and I want to make the man get used to understanding that which he does not understand by everything he does. The man has his fallen nature within him, the hiding from God, not the hiding from man, for if he had not in him his hiding from God, he would not have his hiding from man either. The hiding between man and man is enmity between them and it is nothing else, and I came on earth two thousand years ago to teach the man what light is, for there is great sufferance on man and in man because of his hiding from God and from man. The man who hides with the invisible things worked by him before God and before man is seized then by the fear that comes from hiding, and this sufferance was born by man in paradise, for man was set in paradise with his first body and over which he had to have God, Who knew how to make him and Who knew to keep him and to work him always so that the Lord could be able to have the man and that the man might not have himself, but the Lord to have him instead if He made the man to have him. However, this wisdom left the man out even from the beginning, and this happened because the man opened himself to the foreign spirit, the one unknown to him, and the unknown can only make harm to man, as it had already happened even from the man’s beginning, and then I, the God Word, spoke the word and said to the spirit opposing to My will in man: «I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring. He will bruise your head, and you will bruise his heel». (Gen. 3:15) Behold, the wisdom, which the man forsook in paradise, made the man become God’s enemy, enemy by hiding, enemy who has not received anything but sufferance over his body and curse over the earth, which was supposed to be a nourishing and of food giving mother, if the man had remained in obedience and not in hiding of God. When I, the Lord, spoke this over man, I was and I was not the man’s enemy, but the man alone makes God his enemy then when he hides from Him as he would hide from an enemy, and then he alone makes the man his enemy as well when he hides from man as he would hide from an enemy.
excerpt from The Word of God at the feast of the Assumption of August 28, 2008
I am the Son of the Father Sabaoth, born of the Father before eternity. At the creation of the heaven and earth I made the man from dust after that and I put the spirit of life from Me in him, and I looked at My image when I kneaded him. And after he pulled himself out from Me to be by himself, the Father and I had cried with a heavenly cry after man for more than five thousand years and then the Father sent Me on earth to make the man’s coming back to the Father through Me. I bore on the earth the entire burden of the man’s sins and then I nailed them to the cross together with Me and then I was resurrected for man, I took him and went with him to the Father together with the work of his worked salvation and I spoke to the Father: Father, behold the man! This is how I worked then for the man’s salvation who was lost from heaven, and now I become word over the earth and I come from the Father on this way and I greatly teach the man; I teach him to pass from body into spirit, from death to life and from darkness to light, from sin to holiness, for this is My will: man’s holiness. Amen. Oh, and why the man’s holiness? Why this, oh, My Father?
– Oh, dear son, after We, at the time of creation of everything that had been made, spoke to One Another to make man in Our image and after Our likeness, and You listened to Me and made the man from the dust of the earth and then You breathed upon him and made him stand up, a man with a living spirit. Then You separated him in two calling him male and female, as You built him to be, and You did in this way so that the man might not feel alone; however, he immediately became more proud when he did no longer feel alone; he became more haughty than at the time when he spoke to himself that he was great and when he exalted himself above God in his thought, and the angels who were serving him started falling down once with the man’s exaltation who fell by haughtiness, and then Your mouth spoke over the angel Michael to command the angels to fear God and to take heed of God and not of man.
Oh, the man had become even haughtier if he saw that was not alone. The first host of angels fell; they fell down from the honor they had; they fell once with man’s fall who exalted himself above God, and this evil worked by man was called satan and it fell down from heaven together with man, and You, dear Son, stood witness to this sufferance, and You have been standing witness from then until today, My Only Son! The time was created then and since then We have been suffering in time and the man the same.
excerpt from The Word of God at the feast of the Lord’s Transfiguration of August 19, 2008
I gave life to the man in paradise and then I told him to eat from paradise of all those that were made for him and not to take of those that were God’s, for they were God’s. However, he forgot about Me when his obedience was put to test, and then he was afraid of My voice, which sought him to ask him about Me, because I spoke to him. When I set him in paradise after his creation and I told him what was his and what was Mine in paradise, it was only I that I spoke with him then and he did not speak with Me, and when I asked him, after I saw him sneaking into his inner being and among the trees of the garden, then he also spoke with Me and told Me: «I heard Your steps in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked». (Gen. 3:10) Oh, Adam could not hide among the trees of the garden; he could not sneak his shame and sin under his cover he made from the leaves of the garden. However, I, the Lord, wanted to invite him into the light of his works and to his repentance to do him good, but he did not seek to soften his callousness, but he rather he sought after his vindication before Me as though I gave him the woman to draw him to his deed and hers. Oh, if he would not have forgotten of God, would not be wrong.
excerpt from The Word of God on the Sunday of the remembrance of Adam’s expulsion from paradise of March 9, 2008
sin made in the spirit, with the man’s earthly mind, keeps the man great upon Me and I cannot be his God, just as I could not be Adam’s God after he was envious of Me to surpass Me in greatness then and to be greater than Me, and he was, for he threw Me away from him and he has got his own freedom, and by it he committed sin against Me, and thus Adam did no longer want to be with Me.
excerpt from The Word of God at the Synod of the holy archangels, Michael and Gabriel of November 21, 2007
And now, I am speaking with you, people nourished by Me on the hearth of the Romanian people. Oh, My work upon man has become hard, very hard. If I tell the man about his sin, he knits his brows and commits sin even worse, because the man is not hospitable or humble. This is what happened to Me even from the beginning with the man; he did not listen to Me, His Creator, and he became upset when I showed him that I know his sin hidden in him, and the man built by My hand out of dust got upset with Me, and if he got upset, he pulled himself out of Me and has no longer received Me to tell about his sin and to correct him; and when he became so, his sin has been handed down to all his generations until today and tomorrow.
excerpt from The Word of God at the Synod of the saint apostles, Paul and Peter of July 13, 2007
Oh, My dear people, I tell you today, about one of My wounds. Seven thousand years ago, after I spoke about his wrongdoing with the first built man, he got upset with Me and did no longer love Me, and since then I have remained with a severe wound, and since then I have been waiting for the man to come back to Me and to heal My wound, and that I may be able to heal him and to set him in the love from which he fell down and to give him a mind and a heart from heaven, to give him love from heaven, for the love, which comes from the flesh, the love which is conceived by the man within his heart, is not the love that comes from God, but it is the love, which has separated the man from Me, and the man’s love is My heavy wound. Oh, I have suffered with sighing and the wound from the beginning and from the end makes Me suffer, for the man has left Me without a house, My people, and today I have told you about My wound as well, an unhealed wound. Two thousand years ago I said sighingly, I said that the foxes have holes, and the birds of the sky have nests, and the dogs have their corner, but I have no house and no place to lay My head and have rest, and I am the dearest One, I am the sweet One, I am the gentle One, and I want to dwell in man with the entire adornment of My being and to make the man into a heavenly place and to dwell in him with the saints and with the angels and to make the man live on the earth the life of the age that is to be and to know that the man is Mine, but if the man cannot work this way on the earth, only after his passing away he sees My labor behind him, My waiting after him, and then he takes his burned with sigh and then he carries with him, and he carries it with difficulty, and only this way and only then he sees and believes My wound from him, the weakness which I have carried from him, by not giving himself as My house on the earth, and behold, God has no place where to lay his head on the earth, as the man has, and the man tries in vain to deceive Me and keep making Me houses where to stay, oh, it is in vain, for I cannot live as the man who deceives Me can, that is to live without him in the house that he makes Me live in, and behold, I do not have where to lay My head on earth to have rest and salve for My wound from the man’s departure from Me, for the temples made by human hands do not comfort Me, but only the man in whom I can live with My love, he remaining in it and giving himself as the dwelling place of the Holy Spirit and becoming distributor of the glory that does not pass and does not perish by its work.
