The word of God comes upon the earth and the Lord speaks carried by the clouds, as it is written, and He shepherds and announces Himself with His kingdom as two thousand years ago, when John the Baptist cried out and said: "Repent, for the kingdom of the heavens has drawn near!", and behold, all those who worked from God through the ages, all are with Me at work over the earth, for the earth has need of heaven, and heaven and earth help one another, and all things work through My word, without which nothing was made of the things which were made and are being made.
We write in the book a fresh blessing and the setting in the citadel of My word of the feast of the Epiphany, which you are now preparing, sons, watchmen before Me in the citadel. Oh, peace to you always for all My works with you, peace, sons! You are bearers of My burdens in this time of Mine with you, and you are few and frail so that I may be able, and that you may be small and bearers of humility, as I am able to work with man upon the earth, for man is puffed up upon the earth in every manner, oh, and he does not stand to be formed even under the glory of My word, which brings the birth anew of man; and behold, only those who have been born from above through My word, only of those do I have a share for My works upon the earth; and the others, who do not receive and do not stand under this change and birth from above, those cannot for Me, those do not remain, those cannot deny themselves, cannot make themselves small so that I may be able for them also, so as to give them also birth from above; and those who remain Mine and with Me are only those who know Me in this word and believe and walk after Me and do not stand scattered, for they know their Shepherd and walk with Him and after Him, and He pastures them, raises them from their weaknesses, gives them from heaven and carries them toward the spring and is Shepherd to them.
Let us rise and set a table of the feast of the Epiphany, sons of the citadel. I am so happy that I have you as Mine and that I lean upon you with My works given by the Father for Me to work upon the earth through you in My time with you, sons. I guard you from weaknesses and from temptations that you may be able for Me, for you are under My burdens, oh, sons. I could no longer choose helpers for you, for all look after their own and cannot love as you do, cannot stay small and do not give themselves as you do. But I strengthen you and give Myself to forgive those who cannot give themselves as you do, since they have understood so little what God means and the love which is for Him, for which man must give all in order to have it and then to share it out, oh, and therefore peace to you for all My works with you, for My glory of this time with you, for My coming as word of renewal of all things upon the earth and in heaven, sons!
Heaven is with its sheltering upon the earth, oh, and men do not know this; and over you, My country of today, the Lord comes with those of heaven to you and works sheltering for you and announces Himself with you at work, that the peoples and the tongues may hear that you have over you My voice, The Word of God, Who shepherds you and shelters you with the saints in tens of thousands, as it is written; and behold, a feast of the Epiphany is being set in your region, and I shall be at a table of the word in the citadel with John the Baptist, from whom I hid Myself so much before him, announcing to him about the kingdom of the heavens and about Him Who comes with it, preparing His way to show Himself; and he took from Me and shared out the tidings about Me without knowing that it was I, I, He Who taught him about the King of the kingdom of the heavens, oh, and behold how one believes when the faith comes from God to man, not when man wants to believe; and so I fulfilled, through the faith given as a gift, so many mysteries, so many fulfilments, unknown by the unbelieving, who look after their own even when they believe, but they do not make themselves workers with Me for My glory of these days.
And now, sons, peace and blessing for the feast of the Epiphany in the citadel! And over you, My country of My coming from the Father to men, I leave My love which is for you from God, and I shall embrace you with a spirit of the Epiphany and shall announce you as Mine, My love of the end of time as of the beginning of time, oh, My country, and one is the love which I give you. Amen, amen, amen.
