The antichrist and the apocalyptic beast
14 . " Of course , you could with your present life-force which also is an infinitesimal part of the divine Being , like me , completely separate yourself from God and thus gain eternal permanency , if you knew how to do it ; however , if you did this , the endlessly greater might of the Deity would treat you as horribly as It is now treating me and your eternal permanency would benefit you extremely little , for it is surely better not to be than to be as I am !
15 . " Having in all earnest become sick and tired of this fickleness on the part of the Deity , I have now decided on two things , namely , either to deprive God of His power forever , usurping all His might so as to finally establish for all created beings an order of truly eternal permanency , - or , should I fail in this , I will in the second case kill myself forever , thereby putting an eternal end to the Deity Itself !
16 . " For how often I have asked the Deity to establish a firm order of eternal permanency in creation , but every time it was all in vain .
17 . " I offered to return my light to It ; It imprisoned me through other short-lived beings Not able to conquer me , It left me with a most miserable existence since my former nature shrunk from its unlimited being to this form .
18 . " Only now does the Deity in my light realize that I am now by far more dangerous to It than in my erstwhile allness ; wherefore It makes every effort to apprehend me .
19 . " But you as well as your loving God can be fully assured that it will not ever succeed in this ! Rather will I kill myself and the Deity than be imprisoned by It thus giving It all the more scope for creating and then according to whim again destroying what It has created !
20 . " This is why the thinking beings are always guided to humility by the Deity , so that no one might succeed in rising above the divine whim !
21 . ' This time I have firmly decided to play a prank on the Deity , which shall put an end to Its whims forever ! Truly , this time I will show It my might and will chastise It like an old criminal ! - Do comprehend this , Enoch ! Amen , Amen ." 22 . Here the dragon suddenly disappeared . ( Jakob Lorber The household of God , vol . 2 ) *
01 ] W hen Mira quite safely entered the hut to meet with the Lord whom she did not know yet so well , He got up and said to her in a somewhat serious tone : " Mira , where do you come from now , since I did not wave to you but earlier you chose not to come when I beckoned you ? In addition , I also gave Henoch the instructions according to which no woman should be allowed to step over the threshold of the hut , - and yet you came in ! How did this happen ?"
02 ] This very sharp questioning tone caused Mira initially to lose a little courage ; but she nevertheless regained her composure thinking by herself : " If this is the Lord , He will not take it too seriously and will become softened by my truly heart-deepest supplication ; and if he ' s just a conservative wiseman , in the worst case I can always leave again as I have come here ! "
03 ] Only after such demurs did , she opened her mouth and said somewhat shyly : " It is true that I have been wrong on the whole ; but if I think of it that the distress of my heart compelled me to do this and that Henoch did not tell me anything of a commandment not to enter the hut , then I have not done anything wrong !
04 ] After all , who should or who wants to blame a sufferer in great distress who calls for help or a sufferer who searches for assistance and this even more so if a weak female creature calls for help or searches for assistance , just as I happen to be such a poor creature ?!
