8.3. The New Birth of the World
My Spirit is hovering over you as He was hovering over the waters, when I made the heaven and the earth, My people. Then I and My Father were speaking, and the angels were Our witnesses. Now, I and My Father are speaking with you, and the saints, the angels and the people are Our witnesses, the heaven and the earth, which have been waiting for the new birth, the renewal, My people. The Spirit of the Lord is hovering over you and with you He is separating the waters from waters, the light from the darkness, the good ones from the evil ones, the truth from the falsehood, and He called this expanse new heaven. Amen, amen, amen.
excerpt from The Word of God at the synod of the Saint John, the Baptizer of January 20, 2002
The feast of Epiphany is a mystery of creation, son. The earth came out of the waters while its visible creation and the man did the same, for the man is the new man, and I am the first man, the Man, Who came out of the water and of the Holy Spirit. I went down to the lowest deep to make the New Man from water and Spirit, to make Him out of a divine body, and to take Him out of the waters, and to seal the Man completely with the Holy Spirit, a perfect Man.
excerpt from The Word of God at the feast of the Lord’s Baptism (Epiphany) of January 19, 2002
I work out a spirit of Epiphany on the earth. I want to clothe the whole earth within a spirit of Epiphany and to take it again out of waters, by the word. I want to take the new earth out of your little wells, as I also came out of the waters of Jordan, a perfect Man in the time of John, My messenger sent to prepare a new way for Me, a spirit of repentance in people, so that he might turn them back to God in their hearts, and thus to turn God to people in His heart, so that they may speak to each other and the glory of the word to be exalted, the seed of creation, for the word is seed, My people, and out of this seed the heaven, the earth, the man, the God Man and the whole creation came out, and all the visible and invisible beauty of which every man takes as much as he wants by his faith in him that is dedicated to Me. Amen.
The spirit of Epiphany is a spirit of creation, My people.
excerpt from The Word of God at the feast of the Lord’s Baptism (Epiphany) of January 19, 2002
Behold the Spirit of the Lord in the end of time hovers above the waters and over the earth within a spirit of new creation, with a new word, made now, in order to create by it now the new heaven and the new earth, within the mystery of New Jerusalem, which came down from God and which came down with God for the everlasting, which is coming again. Amen. Wherever the Lord is, there the eternity is as well. Where I am with you, I also want to be the eternity. I want, My people, to establish the eternity on a new earth. Amen.
Oh, how beautiful the Epiphany of the earth was, when it came out of the waters in the beginning of time! Oh, how beautiful the Epiphany of new earth will be, in a mystery of new heaven and new earth, in a mystery of New Jerusalem, kept in eternity for the end of the time! Amen.
excerpt from The Word of God at the feast of the Lord’s Baptism (Epiphany) of January 19, 2002
I work out a spirit of Epiphany on the earth, so that the man on it may understand the mystery of My coming on a clean way. The repentance of the man’s heart, this is the way on which I come to the man to baptize him with the baptism of the Holy Spirit and for the man to be then.
Clothe yourself more and more beautifully with a garment of Epiphany, loved Jerusalem in the end of time, and may your new garment be coveted by many, for I appeared Myself with you on the earth, and I come with their chariots to you, so that the people may see you and to be baptized with a new baptism, with My coming from now, when I come and bring into view the mystery of the New Jerusalem, the one kept from everlastingness, and many will run to it once with its appearance on the earth, once with its appearance among the people, My people.
excerpt from The Word of God at the feast of the Lord’s Baptism (Epiphany) of January 19, 2002
The new birth of the world will be achieved by repentance and by love, which will not be taken away from the man. Only love and longing, which makes it, can bring about the beautiful image on man’s face, the repentance of the heart, which showing its face, gives the man a sweet and beautiful face. If the man asked Me how the new birth of the world is and how it could be, I would answer him that the sweet repentance and the longing in the man’s heart, this means the birth, which is to come to renew the world. The love, which has been waiting for Me to come, this brings with it the new birth of the world and its creators, and Me, the Lord and the Bridegroom of the wedding, in the mystery of love, which has been waiting for Me to come, for all and everything have been waiting for My coming, the coming of the Son of Man. Amen.
excerpt from The Word of God at the feast of the Nativity of January 7, 2002
The time of renewal has come and a new man is needed for this time, for the Son of Man is coming; He is coming to set the table of His kingdom on earth with the sons of the people. The sons of the wedding do not come, for they alone became the sons of My wedding, and if I call them, they do not come to the wedding table.
Let all those without power come; let all those who are weak come; let them come and I to make them by My work of creation of the new man; let them come to make them, and let them inherit the everlasting life afterwards, for the sons of the kingdom went outside and there it is where they remained. And I have come and I come, and I strengthen those who are weak, and I make them into a holy nation and I spread My wedding table with them, and I sit with them at My table, at My wedding supper. Amen, amen, amen.
excerpt from The Word of God on the first Sunday of the Lent, of the orthodoxy of March 4, 2001
I am the One Who has been working over the earth from Creation to this day, and I will work further to accomplish all that was written about Me in the law of Moses, in the prophets and in Psalms. Amen. It is written into the Scriptures about the new birth of the world, about the making of the new man, after My image and likeness, and I fulfill and will fulfill it. Amen. The image of the new man is the revelation of the Holy Spirit put in the man by Me, shining from the man over every creature. And there will be one Lord, one faith and one baptism over every creature, for My word will go and baptize everywhere, as the waters of Jordan became holy by My baptism from John, and they made holy the nature of the waters from the waters in waters, from margins to margins, from heaven to earth, from above the heaven and down beneath the earth, for I was the One waited by every creature, and I fulfilled the prophecy which says: «The Lord will shake once again, not only the earth but also the heaven». Amen.
excerpt from The Word of God at the feast of the Lord’s Baptism (Epiphany) of January 19, 2000
It is a feast of birth, and I have rejoiced in the word at My manger. I am born a new word in the manger, a word of joy, a word of hope, a word of teaching for the healing of the nations, the river of the water of life, which flows from God’s throne and of the Lamb. On one side of the river and on the other grows the tree of life, and its leaves are for the healing of the nations. Amen. But who is its fruit for? Behold, I send My angel to show what it must be soon. Blessed are those who wash their garments to have authority over the tree of life, and to enter the gates through them. Amen. Through the gates and not as the man knows that one is supposed to come in.
The man does not know the citadel of God, and he does not know what this mystery is and he does not know what gates mean, to come in through the gates and to have authority over the tree of life, which bears fruit and fruit from the fruit. The man does not know for he has no-where to know from because all have come to an end and all have come to a stop. However, I come and I have already come, for I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. I come and I start a new beginning and I speak a word to the healing of the nations, to the new birth of the man. I come to call the man to a new heaven and to a new earth, for I come to do justice to the saints. Let him who is holy be holier still because I come to do justice to the saints in heaven and on earth; I come and I have already come. Amen. I have come from heaven on to the earth to make the heaven and the earth once again, for I make them all new again. I have come to be word and I have a manger where to come. I settle down as word in the manger and I give Myself for the healing of the nations, and blessed are those who wash themselves into this river, into this word which springs from the throne of God and of the Lamb. Amen.
The little angels sing glory to My word, which flows from heaven to the healing of the nations. The little angels sing at the manger of My word and the saints from heaven come together, for it is a feast of birth, a feast from heaven on earth. Amen, amen, amen.
excerpt from The Word of God at the feast of the Nativity of January 7, 1999
The world rejoices without Me, as this is how the world got used to do. But you, My people, are not from the world, as I am also not from the world. I, son, do not have room with those of Mine in the world, as you also do not have any room in it. The world rejoices and you cry with Me of My mourning and of My saints’, but My day is coming when the world will cry for its morning, and you will rejoice with My joy, as this is written in the Scripture. I travail again for the world, as you also do, but after this birth, we will forget about pains for joy, that the world that was not born from above, was born from heaven now. It is written that he, who is not born from above, cannot be of the heavenly kingdom on the earth, and behold, the world is the king on the earth, and it would like to be in heaven likewise, but the heaven is that which is not seen, as the eyes of the body do not see the Lord and those from heaven of the Lord.
excerpt from The Word of God at the feast of the saint hierarch Spiridon of December 25, 1997
Behold, sons, the world will be born again; the world will be renewed as it is written. The world will receive its first appearance, the one from its beginning. The visible world will be in-cluded in the one that is invisible, so that the invisible one may be seen into the visible one, the world created by God and not by man. The man that was born of the man got into the earth again and will come out of the earth as in the beginning, at God’s word, at the work of God’s hands. The man will be made out again from the earth. Every man that knew God will get up in an immortal body and will stand before God. God’s man will come back into Eden. It is written into the Scriptures about the new birth of the world, about the renewal of the world.
