The sign of the Son of Man
My sign ; the man did not do as I told him , and the Paradise remained without man . If I did not create the man , I would have also not created the Paradise at the man ’ s sight , and because the man did not listen to My sign , I took the Paradise and put under the Cherubim , since the man did not keep its law from eternity .
It is easy for the man to forgive God , to keep the Lord aside , but I have taken care to make the man remember Me in his wandering way . When I saw Saul that he was departing from his way , I came into his way and made a sign in his body so that he might remember Me then and that he might never forget Me afterwards . He was praying to Me to take away his sign from him , but I told him that it was enough what I gave him and that I did not have to give him or to ask from Me something else . I gave him grace . And how did I give him grace ? I made him know Me sufficiently and that he might never forget Me then and this means grace upon man . Amen .
A great many of saints who loved Me with their soul and who could not bear the pain to leave Me or to forget Me , made themselves signs on them , rough skin , invisible chains and links , ascetic life and tears of humiliation , and in this way they stood in bondage with their mind and their hearts from Me , and they made signs for themselves so that they might not forgive Me . Moses had a sign in his way with Israel through the wilderness : the pillar of fire , the cloud and the manna . Oh , and with all these Israel forgot Me ! He forgot Me for his sins and for his occupations . I put Moses as a sign before him and then the pillar of fire , the cloud and the manna , and however , that people still gave Me away from him .
The man is too much accustomed to forgetting God . The man is too learned to forgive Me . That is why the saints were helping each other with what they could so that they might not forgive Me , for the man ’ s thought is conforming to those that are seen , to those that serve the man , to those that the man serve for him .
Oh , My people , which is the sign that I have put before you , so that you may not forgive Me ? This word is the sign . I put this sign again and again before you and I ask you to do what I do . If I embrace you with My word , you should do the same to Me , so that we may be right to each other , so that it may be seen that we look at each other and so that it may be seen that we want each other , My people . You know it well that the man built by My hand did not want Me and then he forgot Me and he remained only within himself , and I have been hurt by him since then and until today . I made him with longing when I created him , to be comforted with him , I and with My Father and all the angels . I made him and then I brought the Paradise from eternity and put it before him on the earth , already full , already adorned in the day when I made the man . Then I brought the man into Paradise and I gave him the entire Paradise , from which I took for Me what belonged to Me and to My Father . However , he did not take this sign into consideration and violated it instead , and then I had no rest with the man , and if I had not rest , I took him out of the Paradise .
I made everything in six days , and then I rested in one day ; I rested with the man , for I rested in him . Then the man violated the law of the Paradise and I did no longer come to the day of rest , because of the man ’ s fall from Paradise , from the law of the Paradise . The man fell by not taking into consideration My sign , for in his sixth day he trespassed My word and got out of the Paradise and was set on the earth to work the land from which he was taken , and I , the Lord , the man ’ s Creator , had no longer reached the day of rest with the man , but rather it was the day of sorrow in which I still stay ; I stay and I always put signs into the man ’ s way to
