16. Jesus and Imanuel
The Son of God, Jesus, as well as the Son of Man, Imanuel, both have their origin God! The Son of God, who is to be called the Only Begotten, stands with God the Father again, or in God the Father, after His return from Creation, and it therefore “in born” into the Godhead Itself, while the Son of Man can be called the Born Out One coming out of God, who, for the sake of the continued existence of all human spirits was born out into Primordial Creation with a part of Himself remaining separate from God.
However, the designation of Son of God and Son of Man have never been rightly understood by humans, and even today is not fully understood by those who know my Message. Humans have become accustomed to thinking only from their own perspective and therefore believe that everything must also be viewed from their perspective. That is the mistake. In this case, they must try to gain understanding only from Above, for the designation Son of God and Son of Man originates from God, not from humans. It has only been proclaimed to them in this way. For this reason, the concept must also be perceived from Above, not from the human side.
Thus, in reality, there exist: Jesus, the in-born Son, and Immanuel, the out-born Son. Both are Sons of God and, according to human concepts, brothers.
In the Divine Realm, the terms Son of God and Son of Man are thought of downward, turned towards Creation, which immediately gives rise to a different concept, or rather, to understanding in the first place. The Son of God is the Son of God with God, the Son of Man is the Son of God sent to mankind.
It was not the Son of God, Jesus, who was given to mankind, who, as many believers still think, could offer Him up to God the Father as sacrifice for their sins! Jesus was never given to them at all! He only wanted to bring the Word, and then, after the people had murdered Him, He gradually returned again to God the Father, as He Himself explained often enough. He would have returned to God even without being murdered, because He was never truly connected to the World.
But Imanuel, the Son of Man, was given to humanity by God so that it could exist through Him and have in Him an eternal mediator, through whose Being the human spirits of right attitude can also remain eternally conscious!
God gave a Son for this purpose, without ever fully reclaiming Him for Himself! This is the great sacrifice He made, this is His gift. This is His promised sacrifice of His Son for humanity! He does not demand or draw Him back into the Godhead.
The great sacrifice to God has nothing to do with the crucifixion or with Jesus, the Son of God. The crucifixion was not a sacrifice, neither a sacrifice to God nor for humanity! But because people gave false interpretations to this arbitrary act against the Son of God for self-exoneration, they could never grasp the actual concept of the term Son of Man, nor could they ever recognize the true sacrifice of God as such, which lies in willed, necessary separation of God from His Son, born out into Creation, which was necessary for humanity and whose immense magnitude will never be grasped by humanity at all, nor cannot be grasped!
That the Son of Man can be nothing other than King in Creation, a representative of the triune God, in accordance with the living Law of the Light, cannot be too difficult for you to understand. Placed in Creation by God the Father for the sake of human spirits, He is indeed the only one in all Creation who comes from God.
Kingship brings the simple and natural consequence of the effect of the Law of the Light, which, arising from the Being of the Son of Man, can only have this effect and no other. ___
This event, in its fulfilment, brings to all of humanity as much relief as they will only be able to grasp in decades to come.
From the hour when the Son of Man will begin His work in earnest, which is the Hour of the Proclamation, the human spirits of all parts of Creation will receive far greater and stronger help than they have had since the beginning of Creation. — And therefore peace must and shall prevail everywhere; ascent will be much easier to achieve, but the punishments will also take effect much more quickly than has been the case so far for those who want to oppose the Light.
There will be a turnaround in events of every kind; with the Son of Man comes the Cosmic Turning Point! This is the reason why everything that still wants to continue to exist must become new, and nothing of the old can remain unless it already directs its striving towards the Law of the Light! Then it will be able to remain and will only need to be purified so that it shines equally with all that is new! But humanity does not know how grateful they should be for everything that is being fulfilled at this time! ___
God has made the great sacrifice for all humanity and Creation in the Son of Man alone! I, as Immanuel, deserve no thanks for this, for I am filled with the highest joy that I may serve God in His High Will! Only I alone am able to feel His greatness exultantly, His Glory and Wisdom, His Purity, His Force! What is the entire Creation compared to this high knowledge, compared to this feeling? Nothing! Nor do I feel myself to be here for the sake of these human wishes; no, looking upwards, I live blissfully alone for the fulfilment of the Holy Will of my Eternal Father, the only God and Lord!
Do not be deceived, therefore; it will be quite different from what you humans imagine! You will only stand in awe before many things, and some things you will only fully understand after years have passed. Only in the future will you be able to grasp the exalted, pure meaning of all that you have until now experienced merely as distorted images! The curse that had to lie upon the former displays of splendour because of humanity’s false understanding will be lifted; splendour in its pure form will become beauty, and all the treasures of this world will then shine in purity to the Glory of God, serving joyfully as an act of worship to the great goodness that brought all this into being and granted it to humanity for use! ___
The Son of God often said on Earth: “My Kingdom is not of this world!” He meant not only this earthly kingdom, but the entire World, to Creation! He returned to God! And around Him is the Kingdom of the Divine Realm, in which He reigns in the name of His Father. This His Kingdom was not of this world, but it was and is the Kingdom of God. That is, the Kingdom in the Divine Realm, which was eternal with God and will remain with Him for eternity.
But the kingdom of the Son of Man is the World, Creation! God called the In-born Son of God, for He works in the Divine Realm, which is much greater than the entire Creation. He placed the Out-born into Creation and thus set Him above the human spirits, proclaiming Him to mankind as the Son of Man. The Son whom He separated from Himself for mankind so that He may rule over them. Therefore, to the blessed ones, who are allowed to behold images from the Divine, will soon and often be shown the Divine Trigon, in which the Eye of God stands at the top, on the right Jesus, the Son of God, and then, since the completion, Immanuel, the Son of Man, on His left. The image shows those looking at it the activity as it rests in the Holy Will of God. Two rays emanate from God, forming the Trigon downwards. One of them goes to the Son of God in His activity, the other to the Son of Man. And the completed connection between the Son of God and the Son of Man now brings between them the connecting ray, which simultaneously forms the lower connecting line that now closes this Trigon.
Thus I interpret for you today the image of the Divine Trigon, as many of the blessed ones will soon be able to see it as soon as God Himself proclaims the earthly presence of the Son of Man to the World. Of course, these will only be images shown by spiritual guides, since human spirits are never capable of beholding the Divine.
