The Word of God 1 at the synod of the Saint John the Baptizer 2
In the spirit of the feast of Epiphany, I, the Lord, meet My people again, for My feasts
and the feasts of My saints became and become paths of My Spirit’s coming down, the One
Who is a Teacher over the sons, and behold, John, My godfather of baptism, waits at the border
between day and night to receive Me and My people in heaven and on earth, up and down, as
the whole heaven waits for the saints. Amen.
Lift up, you gates, so that I may come again into the book with a feast of Epiphany for
I want to be baptized in My word, all those who believe in My coming of nowadays, for he
who is baptized is the faithful one of My being of true God from true God, and is faithful
to the work of My word, by which I came and come down on earth, and then to tell the one
who hears Me through the gates, to tell him to be baptized in My word, in My Spirit, as John,
My Baptizer, spoke at Jordan to those who came to him, and he told them this: «Repent!»
Amen, amen, amen.
– Oh, Lamb God, I entered at once into Your book with Your people, for I have been
waiting for this as one full of longing and confessing spirit, for there is no sweeter happiness
in heaven for Your saints like that for them to be able to confess You from heaven on earth by
Your coming of now with Your saints. And I, like You, speak to Your people likewise and to
every man who takes us from the wedding table of Your word, and I tell to all those who hear
from heaven the voice of God’s Son, the trumpet for resurrection, I tell them to be baptized in
God’s word, because I told those who came to me to the water of Jordan for baptism, I told
them: «Repent! I indeed baptize you with water for repentance and for the forgiveness of the
sins by your repentance, but He Who comes after me is mightier than I am, and He is the
great One, and This will baptize you in the Holy Spirit and with fire.
Oh, how shall we do, Lord baptizer, how shall we do, Lord, to bring the man to repent-
ance, and then to the baptism in the Holy Spirit? When I was preaching the kingdom of God in
the wilderness of Judea, which was coming closer to the Jews to comprise them in it, I was
calling to repentance those who were hearing me and Jerusalem and Judea, and all the sur-
roundings of Jordan were coming, and I was baptizing with water those who were confessing
their sins with repentance, but I also saw the Pharisees and the Sadducees that they were com-
ing to baptism, and I, seeing that they were cunning, I stopped them and I told them to bring
forth fruits worthy of repentance if they did not know to repent for the baptism with water and
because they relied on Abraham in a hypocrite way, then I stood against them and told them
that God was able to raise up children to Abraham even from the stones, and I called them
offspring of vipers, and I rightly called them like that, those who believed that would get away
anyhow from the wrath that was to come upon those who worked it out and not their salvation,
and then they went to their own business not giving up their sin in them, the sin of their haugh-
tiness and of not loving of God, the sin from ancestors and by which the Jewish people were
sending the righteous ones to death in order for them to make room with their kingdom under
the name of Abraham’s sons, but they were offspring of vipers, Lord, for when You came down
on earth, they followed You up to kill You even from the time of your infancy, Lord, and they
