GRM 59.6-8
The Gospel as revealed to me
Quotation
59.6 «Do You not consider Yourself bold in avowing Yourself a representative of God? None of the Prophets dared so much and You… Who are You, Who are speaking? And by whose order do You speak?»
«The Prophets could not say of themselves what I state of Myself. Who am I? The Expected One, The Promised One, the Saviour. You have already heard His Precursor say: “Prepare the way for the Lord… Here the Lord God is coming… Like a shepherd He will feed His flock, although He is the Lamb of the true Passover”. Many amongst you heard these words from the Precursor and they saw the heavens brighten with a light that descended in the shape of a dove and they heard a voice speak and say who I am. By whose order do I speak? By the order of Him Who is and Who sends Me.»
«You say that, but You may be a liar or a dreamer. Your words are holy, but Satan sometimes uses deceitful words painted with holiness to deceive people. We do not know You.»
«I am Jesus of Joseph of the House of David, I was born at Bethlehem Ephrathah, as was promised, named Nazarene, because I live at Nazareth. And that according to the world. According to God I am His Messenger. My disciples know.»
«Oh! They! They can say what they like or what You tell them to say.»
«Another will speak, who does not love Me, and will say Who I am. Wait till I call one of the people present here.»
59.7 Jesus looks at the crowd, who are astonished and annoyed at the dispute, and divided between the two opposite doctrines. He looks for someone with His sapphire eyes, and then in a loud voice He calls: «Aggaeus! Come here. It is an order.»
There is great excitement in the crowd. They open out to let a man pass, who is violently shaking all over his body and is supported by a woman.
«Do you know this man?»
«Yes, he is Aggaeus, of Malachi, of Capernaum. He is possessed by an evil spirit which tortures him with sudden fits of fury.»
«Does everybody know him?»
The crowd shout: «Yes, we do.»
«Can any of you say that he has spoken to Me, even for a few minutes?»
The crowd shout: «No, no, he is half-witted, he never leaves his house, and nobody has seen You in it.»
«Woman, bring him here in front of Me.»
The woman pushes and drags him, while the poor man trembles more than ever.
The head of the synagogue warns Jesus: «Be careful! The devil is about to torture him… and then he rushes at people, scratches and bites them.»
The crowd moves away thronging against the walls.
Jesus and the man are now facing each other. There is a moment’s struggle. The man, used to being dumb, seems to have difficulty in speaking, he moans, then his voice turns into words: «What is there between us and You, Jesus of Nazareth? Why have You come to torture us? Why do You want to destroy us, You, the Lord of Heaven and Earth? I know who You are: the Holy of God. No one, in human flesh, was ever greater than You, because in Your flesh of man is enclosed the Spirit of the Eternal Winner. You have already beaten me in…»
59.8
«Be quiet! I order you to come out of this man.»
The man has a fit of strange convulsions. He is tossed about by jerks and thrusts, as if someone pulled and pushed him, violently ill-treating him, he shouts in a wild voice, foams at his mouth, and is then thrown down onto the ground. He gets up, astonished and cured.
«Have you heard? What do you say now?» Jesus asks His opponent.
The bearded sumptuous man shrugs his shoulders and, obviously beaten, goes out without replying. The crowd scoff at him and applaud Jesus.
«Silence! This place is sacred!» says Jesus and He orders: «Bring Me the man to whom I promised help from God.»
The sick man comes forward. Jesus caresses him: «You believed Me! Be cured. Go in peace and be just.»
The young man lets out a yell. I wonder what he feels. He kneels down before Jesus, kisses His feet thanking Him: «Thanks from me and from my mother!»
Detail
In 59.2, the wife of Haggai, a possessed man, hears that Christ will certainly heal the sick after his preaching. She then says: "Ah, if Haggai would come! I'll try... but he won't come."
Jesus preaches and is challenged by a man, who seems to doubt that he is the Messiah. Jesus then affirms that another will speak and say who he is.
