About the carved image ( icon ) and the sign of the cross
put a carved idol on you and worship it , and you look into the mirror to see your carved image that you worship , and then you go to church and sing : „ Our Father in heaven , may Your will be done , on the earth , as in heaven ”. Oh , world , world , you should know that I will do My will on the earth . You should know that I will clean you of your gods and I will shout in your ear that I am God , and you will seek to put ember on your face and on your head and you will shout to die , but you will not die , for I will take the death from upon you , and you will be taken to be whitened and refined , so that you may perceive My will , My law from heaven on the earth . ( See the selection topic : „
The apocalyptic fire 8 ”, r . n .)
Oh , world , world , God is calling you ! Leave your will and take My will on you ! Oh , world , My crown of thorns ! Word , My sorrow and My venom ! You should know that I will renew you , as this is written . You should know , man without a path , that I will come into your way and I will call you out : « I am the way , the truth and the life !», and I will take you out of your wills and I will tell you : „ Here is the way ! Walk on it , you man without a way !”
Man , My lost work ! I come from heaven as word and call you out , as I called Adam : « Man , where are you ?» Oh , you cannot hide . Your nakedness gives you away and you cannot blame anyone .

What can the man do ? He can do nothing good . He also made a body , but the body is of no good , as the Spirit is the One Who gives life . I created the first man ; I created him out of the dust and I gave him a living soul , and then I also gave him a spirit of life ; for it is one thing to say soul , and it is another thing to say spirit of life . The man also made a body ; he made it of iron , of stone , of dust , of gold , of bronze , of wood , but he could not give him a living spirit . The man also created a body , and called it god , and worshipped him . There have been some many rows of people who made a body without a soul and have dedicated it to the devils , as that which comes out of the body is body , and God is the Spirit Who gives life . The man could not give any living soul to the body , which was made by the hand of the man , but I gave a living soul to the body that I made and I called him man ; I made him into My image and after My likeness , and after I created him , I called him man , but the man made by the hand of the man is called devil .
