The heaven is full of longing and comes down on the way of longing, on the way of the word.
The Lord comes down with the saints and leaves a book written in the citadel and sets a table of the feast of the Epiphany, that those may take from it who seek after the glory of My word of these days; and I am Shepherd and give out of plenty, and the whole making takes the word of My mouth and is fed from God, as does the water also which is sanctified at My word on a day of the feast of the Epiphany.
We are remembered one beside the other, John the baptizer. We set our word in the book in a spirit of the Epiphany as sent ones of the Father, and He pours out His grace, and all the wise learn from Us as We learned from the Father; not from Ourselves do We teach those who learn from Us, for behold, upon the earth the unwise teach the others, while the wise learn in order to know first themselves, and only then are they teachers; and those of Our time called Us teachers, Me and you, and We had it from the Father, not from Ourselves did We teach those who walked after Us.
— Oh, glory to You, Lord Lamb, glory to You always, for paradise and heaven are those which dwell in us with their work, which we gave ourselves to set in men upon the earth; only that men merely desire to reach paradise and heaven, and they have not these states in them, so as to stop seeking after them as after places for which they yearn; and behold why the teaching from heaven comes to men upon the earth, to teach them!
And glory to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit, from Whom we have teaching and work and seed for sowing, from which God may grow in men who have not over them a worthy teacher who would not spare his life when he shares God out to men; and we did not spare ourselves, Lord, for we were true teachers and we were sent by the Father.
Only men without grace, only trees without fruit are everywhere, and You and Your saints wait, Lord.
We were sent upon the earth among men and no one knew us, and they tore us out and cast us from their way. Now we work from heaven, now we bring heaven upon the earth, for heaven and paradise dwelt in us when we worked among men and gave ourselves to share them out to them also.
Oh, come upon the earth, O heaven, come, O paradise, for otherwise no one shall understand these states, sought and not understood and not found by those who lack them!
Oh, Lord Lamb, how great You are, how great! He who is great hides his greatness in humility, that men may be able to stand before him and not be afraid, so small are they, poor ones. Only to those in heaven could You reveal Yourself with Your greatness, only to them, oh, Lord; but even among them You are still a humility, still a wisdom, and which only You bear and know.
Behold Him Who made the heaven and the earth! Such is the Lord, the Maker of all things, oh, sons of men, and therefore man cannot see God and remain alive; but he can rise from sin if he has faith in Him Who gives life to all.
Oh, how warm Your Spirit was when You dwelt beside me in the wilderness without men, Lord! Oh, how You humbled Yourself to hide Your Godhead, that You might be looked upon by those among whom You slipped in order to come and stay near me! Who can handle these mysteries?
Oh, how beautiful Your way was until the moment of Your baptism in the Jordan, when You came in the rank of the others who had come toward the baptism! You hid Your greatness, but the Father came with His voice and bore witness to You as His Son, and the Spirit came embodied above You, and You were the Word from the beginning, Lord. Your voice awakens the dead from their graves and shakes the powers of hell, oh, and only the world of men is the same as that of our time among men and remains just so, for the sins of the world stand as a wall between You and men, as also then when no one knew You and when You hid Your Godhead.
I bow beneath the glory of Your humility and I gather You into my spirit and bear witness to You, oh, Lord. You are the Word from the beginning, You are the Alpha and the Omega, and the Father is well pleased in You, and no word can contain You, and Your humility is great, it is the place which You chose for Yourself, Lord, when You came and when You come among men upon the earth. Amen.
— I come after man, therefore I come upon the earth, and I stand wrapped in the word.
I come after you, O man who seek and do not find if you have not within you that which you seek. Oh, do not be afraid. I have come to give you wisdom from heaven that you may know, for otherwise you shall never know anything. I have come to forgive you. I have come again from the Father to give you again forgiveness and resurrection. I long for you, therefore I have come. Not to rebuke you for your sins, not for that have I come. I have come to speak to you of love and to tell you to love Me as I love you, and to make yourself holy as I am, and that you may be able with Me. I want you to be diligent that I may give you grace. Oh, take care, the time passes, take care! I wait for you to open to Me that I may enter and no longer depart, and you have need of God.
In a spirit of the Epiphany I gather you. Learn My humility, for you have nowhere to learn it from upon the earth, and I come from heaven and come with the renewal, which is written to appear and to show all its beauty, and all for you, O man, because I long for Myself with you.
And now, peace to you in My citadel with you, sons who receive God! And I have kept the feast of the Epiphany with you, I and John the Baptist, and you, and those gathered for the water of the Epiphany.
A blessing for all you have to work, this I set over you. Oh, learn to plan the time, sons. All the time you must do this work and work with profit for Me and for yourselves with Me.
Peace to you, sons! The heavenly powers do not depart from you, and I remain with you, and therefore you also, remain, remain, sons, remain in My love. Amen, amen, amen.
