The heaven – the throne , the earth – the footstool , the man deified
come to you as word and comfort of word . The world would also like this , that is I may withdraw into heaven with My river of word , for the spirit of the world is jealous of you when he sees that you are Mine on earth . It cannot be counted how much your enemies looked and always go on looking to see that I leave you without My support , without Me , My people . Your enemies lie in ambush ; those who are not faithful also stay and look to see what else I am going to put on your table , what else I am going to give you and what I am giving you on My table . They would like you to be like them ; to eat what they eat and no longer to take your food of My mouth , but you are in My plan and I work according to it and not after man , for man does many of his works without God , and flesh and blood cannot reveal My coming as word and My calling .
Oh , no , it is not flesh and blood that reveals to man those coming from God on earth , but My Father in heaven does this , for man turns from flesh into dust , as he was made flesh from dust and then God gave him breath of life , and flesh desires as much as blood is alive in it , and it cannot inherit the kingdom of the heavens but only when the body of the flesh becomes a temple for the Holy Spirit , a holy body by the holiness in it , a place dwelling for the Lord in it .

On a day of Sunday , the second Sunday after My resurrection , which took place on the day of Sunday , I strengthen the name of the Day of the Lord and of His rest . I the Lord , Jesus Christ , the resurrected Lord , am strengthening by the word and I say this : the first day of creation is the greatest day , and the minds of the people on earth have not been in great hurry , those who do not keep the greatest of the days , they have not hurried to understand what a great day this day is and how much meaning it has between God and man , between man and God . I am speaking to them on this day of the confirmation of My resurrection before the disciple Thomas , when he looked at Me after I was resurrected , and he touched Me for the confirmation of the mystery of My resurrection , I am telling those who remain for the day of Saturday as a day for the Lord , and I am telling them that I did not rest on the day of Saturday , after they crucified Me , but that I worked in the dwelling of the dead for the light of the day of the Sunday , of the day of the light , for I , the Lord , entered the hell as a great light , and I draw out those who had been waiting for their salvation all the time during those five thousand years and a half after the days of creation , in which man was created as well . ( About these see
Gospel of Nicodemus : Part II . - The Descent of Christ into Hell , r . n .) Then I came to life with great glory and I remained forty days , going from place to place appearing alive and working great miracles , and then I went in the mountain with My faithful ones , that they could be witnesses of My resurrection and then witnesses of My ascension to the Father , as few as they were at that time from among all the people on earth , and I went up from among them and I ascended to the right side of the Father , in the place where the Father has Me settled from eternity ; after that , I have sent the Holy Spirit over the disciples , Who was promised to them and Who came after My ascension to the Father , and He remained with them and brought God to them , as I promised them that I would be with them to the end of the time .
On a second day of Sunday after the Sunday of My resurrection and of those who were waiting in hell for their Savior promised to Adam , the first man created , I entered again into the
