About the carved image ( icon ) and the sign of the cross
save the man from the payment of his sins , if the turns his eyes to the cross of My crucifixion . But the man was not moved . The man does not live My pain on the cross then when he makes the signs of My pains on his body , the sign of the cross , as I have it marked on My own body . Many crowds forsook the cross and do no longer put the sign of My crucifixion on their bodies , the sign by which I overcame the death , as a soldier prevails in war with his weapon against his enemies .
Oh , sons , sons , the more the time of My coming in flesh on earth has come near , the more the crowds have forsaken the sign of My cross , and since then the devil has completely gone to sleep , and he has no longer been afraid of any man but of the man that is true in his love and living and his watch for My coming . Behold , the devil is not afraid of any man , but the man who does the devil ’ s will is frightened to death of the Christian who loves Me doing My will in his spirit , soul and body .
The evil spirit made the people busy so that they may not make the sign of the cross on their body , the sign of My crucifixion that I overcame the old serpent by . Not even they , who were baptized Christianly into My name , make the sign of the cross on their body , and if they do , alas of this sign that pleases only the devil . The man , who still makes the sign of the cross on his body , makes his cross according to his own life . The man does not know any longer the place where he should put the fingers of his hands when making the cross . Not even the priest makes the sign of the cross as required by the Christians , and there is no one to teach the man the cross and its signs , and the sign on the man ’ s body . The man does no longer raise his cross to God , and rather he goes down into the deep , and I complain to you of My pain from the man . But you should embrace Me by the sign of the cross , by the sign of my body ’ s crucifixion , for when I made the man , I made him to be a cross , a holy cross , a holy body , a crucified body to the sin , a life put into God ’ s service . But you should embrace me when you make the sign of My cross on your body , the sign of the One Who embraced you by crucifixion , for blessed is the man who used My death on the cross , for this one is arisen , and is alive forever and ever .
Sons , the wounds of My crucifixion hurt Me , for the man was bad with Me and with those who followed Me . The rulers of the people were always afraid of those who followed Me and killed them , and put a bad name among the people because of My name . All who want to be rulers upon the people and upon the earth are very much afraid of those that serve Me with the spirit and the truth . However , the people of the earth are afraid of those who are a living church to Me , but no one is afraid of a worldly church , and neither the devil nor his angels are afraid . But you should embrace Me by the sign of the cross of My crucifixion upon your body , for I made you to be feared for the sons of the people who do not want Me to come . The people are afraid of you worse than of the death , but they should better love you and listen to My exhortation which is upon you . The people should better embrace you but they cannot do such a thing , for the empty glory seized them in the darkness , and they are afraid of their sins , for you are the Scripture of My coming and that is why I come to you , and that is why I am with you . I am with you for the fulfilling of the Scriptures of My coming . Amen , amen , amen .
Be careful , sons , and give before the people My word , for a great deception is growing on the earth for the Scriptures of My coming . Be cautious , for I told you that once with My coming I bring the resurrection of My righteous ones and an imperishable body upon those who wait for Me to come . Please Me , for I come as it is written in the Scriptures that I come , and I will protect with My godly arm those that celebrate for the feast of My coming
