GRM 66
The Gospel as revealed to me
Detail
Jesus is alone. Judas comes to join him. The man from Keroth wants to follow him, and Jesus is truly saddened. Knowing his state of mind, Jesus reveals to him that his Kingdom is not of this world, that his Kingship is not earthly. He even tells him that Christ will be betrayed, and Judas assures him that he will never do such a thing. He says this on his honor, but the Savior points out that nothing could be more fragile. Jesus then insists that he is gentle, poor and peaceful: that he will get nothing earthly by following him. But whatever his arguments, Judas wants to follow him. He even says that Jesus must take him if he's a sinner on his way to being lost. Jesus accepts, and the vision ends there.

Quotation
I have God with Me. I am His Word. I was prophesied by the Prophets, promised to the Patriarchs, expected by the people. But why, Israel, have you become so blind and deaf that you are no longer able to read and see, to hear and understand the reality of events? My Kingdom is not of this world, Judas. Allow yourself to be convinced of that. I have come to Israel to bring Light and Glory. But not the light and glory of the earth. I have come to call the just of Israel to the Kingdom. Because it is from Israel that the plant of eternal life is to come, and with Israel it is to be formed, the plant, the sap of which will be the Blood of the Lord, the plant that will spread all over the earth, until the end of time. My first followers will be from Israel. My first confessors will be from Israel. But also My persecutors will be from Israel. And also My traitor will be from Israel.

« (...) If everyone should betray You, I will remain with You and defend You.»
«You, Judas? And on what do you base your certainty?»
«On my honour as a man.»
«Which is more fragile than a cobweb, Judas. It is God we have to ask for the strength to be honest and faithful. Man!… Man accomplishes human deeds. To accomplish spiritual deeds — and to follow the Messiah with truthfulness and justice is to accomplish a spiritual deed — it is necessary to kill man and make him be born again. Are you capable of so much?»

«No, Master. That will never happen. If everyone should betray You, I will remain with You and defend You.»
«You, Judas? And on what do you base your certainty?»

Are you capable of so much?»
«Yes, Master. And in any case… Not everybody in Israel will love You. But Israel will not give the Messiah executioners and traitors. Israel has been waiting for You for centuries!»
«I will be given them. Remember the Prophets… Their words… and their end. I am destined to disappoint many. And you are one of them. Judas, you have here in front of you a mild, peaceful poor man, who wishes to remain poor. I have not come to impose Myself and make war. I am not going to contend with the strong and mighty ones for any kingdom or any power. I contend only with Satan for souls and I have come to break the chains of Satan with the fire of My love. I have come to teach mercy, sacrifice, humbleness, continence. I say to you and to everybody: “Do not crave for human wealth, but work for eternal coins”. You are deceiving yourself if you think I am to triumph over Rome and the ruling classes. Herods and Caesars can sleep in peace, while I speak to the crowds. I have not come to snatch anybody’s sceptre,… and My eternal sceptre is already ready, but no one, unless one was love as I am, would like to hold it. 66.3 Go, Judas, and ponder…»

Quotation
«Are You rejecting me, Master?»
«I reject nobody, because those who reject do not love. But, tell Me, Judas: how would you describe the gesture of a man, who, knowing he is infected by a contagious disease, says to another man who approaches him unaware of the situation, to drink out of his chalice: “Watch what you are doing”? Would you define it hatred or love?»
«I would say it was love, because he does not want the man, unaware of the danger, to ruin his health.»
«Well, define also My gesture likewise.»
«Can I ruin my health coming with You? No, never.»
«You can ruin more than your health, because, consider this carefully, Judas, little will be debited to him who is a murderer, but believes he is doing justice, and he believes it because he does not know the Truth; but a great deal will be debited to him, who knowing the Truth, not only does not follow it, but becomes its enemy.»
