keep as your foundation , is broken off from the first one , and not the first one is broken off from the fourth one .
I speak with you Verginica , and I speak with you , My people , so that the one , who has to hear , may hear . But he does not hear , as neither Israel heard My ordinances upon him ; he did not hear , and he broke My commandments one by one , and he called himself „ the Lord ’ s people ”, the same as those of today , who keep the seventh day and call themselves „ the Lord ’ s people ” and say that they are „ Adventists ”. This name means „ came the second time ”, and for these it means that Christ came for the second time ; it means His second coming . But how He , Who did not come first , can come the second time ?
Oh , you , who hear not hearing ! You should know that the people of Israel , which did not recognize that Christ came of the Virgin then , and Who will come , as they say , will be happier ; they are happier than you , who say that Christ came then , and that He also came the second time , or that he is coming . I came then and I have come now , and I have been since then and until now , and I am , but I am not for you . I am not for you ; I do not want to be for you , those who do not know to understand God , as He tells you to understand . You understand the Lord in vain the way you want to understand . The Lord has to be understood , as He wants , not how it comes to the man to understand Him . Behold , I open My mouth against you , and say : when Israel was sinning and venomous snakes were coming against him and killing his sons by deathly bites , I said to Moses to make a bronze snake . I wanted to stop Israel ’ s condemnation and not die any more , and I wanted to make Israel wise , and once with that trial over his power for his sins , I was preparing his salvation from death , and in My compassion I told Moses : « I saw Israel ’ s repentance , and the one , who is bitten by a serpent and will look at the bronze snake , will no longer die and will live ». I was the One , Who spoke that a bronze serpent to be made ; a serpent , which does not bite , and My word became a sign ; it became a serpent , which does not bite against the serpent that bites , and My wrath , through the biting serpents with deadly venom , stopped in Israel , and Israel lived before Me . I was the One , Who saw how the sinful condemned were dying on the cross , and I set myself on the cross to make forgiveness of it , and to give salvation through it , and a way of everlasting life by this sign , which many were dying through . You do not understand the Scriptures and its parables spoken and fulfilled beforehand , as My word , which becomes a good deed so that I may help the man to come to Me and to the repentance by rebuking and forgiveness , My word is not an idol as you say . The cross is not embraced by Me for you to dishonor it , as Israel dishonored it , making of it a means of condemnation , dishonor and humiliation . I made of it a sign of salvation , so that the one , who will look at it and will embrace it as I did , may no longer die , may no longer sin , as the robber on the cross did no longer sin after he was placed on it , and he went into heaven by the cross . I told the robber : « Today you will be with Me in Paradise », and you say that it is nothing of the man who dies before I come the second time . But who told you to misinterpret the Scriptures , which say : « The one who dies will be alive , if he is with Me .»? ( See the selection topic : „ About the graven image and the sign of the cross ”, r . n .)
When I came first , I came by a Virgin , and you put a bad name on My mother , the Virgin . Oh , if you did not say so , you would not have any chance to make room near Me with your debauchery from the human nature of the fallen man . If My mother , the Virgin , were not been the door , which only I came in and out through , as the Scriptures says , then why do you still say that I am your Christ , Who came at that time for you ? How can I still lift your sins , so that you may not do them anymore , if I , as the Son of God , the Father , could not make My mother , the Virgin then , not to sin in her body any more , if you say that she sinned after I was born of her ? Could I
