About the carved image ( icon ) and the sign of the cross
― And I , the Lord Almighty , strengthen you by My strong arm , for you , the sons of My garden , are those who remained with Me in My troubles , in My toil between heaven and earth for the renewal of the creation , and I assign you a kingdom , just as My Father assigns it for Me , so that you may eat and drink at My table into My kingdom and to sit on thrones , judging from near Me over the entire human kind . Amen .

Behold , sons , why I have always come as word to you . I come to pass over the earth with My holy teaching for the man , who wants God and from God , to receive it , for there are no longer holy apostles , but people who call themselves “ theologians ”, not apostles . Oh , who made them “ theologians ”? Who called them this way ? Where have they found in the Christian times someone who called himself “ theologian ”? Here , the time now is with paganism and the people call themselves “ theologians ”, and they no longer call themselves apostles , for they are full of pride and hide under another word and they call one another “ theologians ”. However I say this : it is shameful , it is shameful for the people to talk about God who do not do God ’ s will , people who worship people , people who do not crucify themselves to the sin and to the worldliness on the earth . It is shameful to heaven , sons . I am ashamed before the angels and before the saints ; I am ashamed of everything these people do , of everything they say that they do into My name and for Me ; they who do not know to pray for themselves , let alone for the poor people and full of pains , for the prayer that reaches before Me is the holy man , the man who becomes prayer , the man who becomes power from God and light from God and a holy life among the people , a life for God , not for himself .
Oh , where is still seen on the earth a man dressed with the garment of humbleness , with the garment of apostleship , with My garment sons ? The garment of those who call themselves “ theologians ” is the garment of their pride , the garment under which they hide fighting each other for it . Depart from them , My people , from people like these . Be great in wisdom , you who learn from God , for this is what I have told you : depart from those who blaspheme God by their empty life , by their worldly pride , by their words and by their cunning work . Let Judases and Herods step aside to let My way free to be able to come . Amen , amen , amen .
Two thousand years ago I told this to My apostles : « There is no one who speaks well of you and then to speak evil of you at once ». But now I tell you this : there is no one , who spoke evil of you and now to speak well of you at once ; no , sons , there is no one . Their speaking of evil against you is written in heaven by their own hand . The wounds of My crucifiers stay on My body and they bear witness .
The man is knocked down to the earth and no one makes him stand , for those who call themselves “ theologians ” shake hands with the pagans , with those who are not of My fold , for they are not hurt because of My sheep , and they are hurt for themselves instead , and they do not know what pain is , but I know it , for I am the Man of the pain and I have no one to carry My cross with . I am the Man under the cross and all who call themselves “ theologians ” want Me only on the cross ; they make crosses everywhere and put Me crucified on them , and they bow to all the crosses but not to Me . Which theologian stops from his way before the holy cross on which I lay crucified ? Who of them stops to cry for Me that lie on the cross , and to lie down for himself , who does not lie on the cross so that I may also lie for him ? Every man , who does
