About the carved image ( icon ) and the sign of the cross
„
The sign of the Son of Man 12 ”, r . n .) That is why this new announcement , this carried cross , is a folly for those who stay in the spirit of carelessness of this age , but for you it is the power of God . Behold , My word proves the folly of the wisdom of this age , as because the wisdom of God did not make the man to know God by wisdom , that is why God wanted to save the one who believe through the proclaiming of the cross , as it is written : « The Jews ask for signs , Greeks seek after wisdom , but those that are faithful preach the Christ crucified , Who is a stumbling block for the Jews and foolishness for the Gentiles , but to those who are called from among them , is Christ , the power and wisdom of God ». This is the hidden wisdom of God . He lifts up those that are low , those that are not , to destroy those that are , so that nobody may become haughty before God , and he who boasts , let him boast in the Lord . Amen .
My people , I always teach you ; the sons of My garden also teach you ; your centurions also teach you , and we always learn to be a new yeast on the table of this age without wisdom . My people Israel , I celebrate in you feast by feast , as the heavenly feasts celebrate in you , little and tiny son . It is sun in you , My people . I am your light ; I am the day of the evening time . It is sun in you , My people . Let all the ghosts serve you ; let everything help you on your way with Me , and you should help Me into My labor from heaven to earth . The Jews ask for signs , Greeks seek after wisdom , but you have Me and you should give Me to those that are thirsty after Me and after My cross in them , after My life in them , by the crucifying of the natural man and by the resurrection of the spiritual man in man .

Oh , Israel , I am working to strengthen the gift of faith over you , Israel son . When Moses struck the sea with his staff in order to divide it in two so that the people of Israel may pass , through it , would the sea have been divided if Moses had not believed ? No , it would have not been divided , son , but it did because of Moses ’ faith . Now that staff has become strong for you ; it have become a holy cross , and if you have faith , the cross will be higher than Moses with his staff was . Whoever has got faith , that one fulfills the Scriptures , for all the Scriptures of the prophets , who prophesied about God ’ s Spirit by the word , are fulfilled by faith . And the same is today too , and it is written : « When the Son of Man comes , will He find faith on earth to fulfill His coming ?» ( Luke : 18 / 8 ) Oh , My people , you should not love frivolity , for doubt and disbelief come from frivolity , son . I have appointed My anointed sons to teach you always what frivolity is and what holiness is , but ask , My people , ask , and they will teach you in My name ; ask and do not sleep , for if you do not ask , then you are going to sleep .
