JAKOB LORBER

Doctrine and religious practice, exposing

them further as false prophetsJer 5:31

"The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear ruleby their means; and my people love to have it so; andwhat will ye do in the end thereof?" (KJV)

"The most dangerous characteristic of false prophets is that they

claim to be from God and to speak for Him. Such leaders nearlyalways appear pleasant and positive. They like to be withChristians, and they know how to talk and act like believers. Falseprophets usually exude sincerity and thereby more easily deceiveothers (see 2Tim 3:13). But you can identify false teachers' truecolors by noting what they do not talk much about. They usuallydon't deny basic doctrines such as Christ's deity andsubstitutuonary atonement, the sinfullness of humanity, orunbelievers' going to hell. They simply ignore such "controversial"

truths. But whenever a false prophet is in your midst, you mustnot ignore his presence or the harmful effects of his hereticalteachings. (From Truth for Today by John MacArthur).

"The problem is that we often seek the God we want, but do notknow the God who is" (From Walking with Christ in the Details ofLife by Patrick Morley).

Even though these prophets does quote some scriptures from

time to time it should be noted that Yanking Scriptures out ofcontext is one of the first marks of false teaching.

Truth could not be truth in this world if it were not a warring thing,and we should at once suspect that it were not true if error werefriends with it. The spotless purity of truth must always be at warwith the blackness of heresy and lies. C.H. Spurgeon

Jakob Lorber :

Some of the doctrines and religious practices that Jakob Lorberintroduced that is directly contrary to scripture is


2/20

:

1 A different message of salvation and spiritual rebirth: Inchapter 10:17 of the first book of the ''Great Gospel of John'',Lorber explains the gospel of salvation as three steps. Firstly a

person needs to master his flesh. Secondly he needs to purify hissoul through works of love. Thirdly a person's spirit needs to beawakened from the grave of judgment. These three steps aredescribed as the process of rebirth. In chapter 18:8 the Lord isdescribed to explain to Nicodemus that to be born of water meansto be born of humility, and only then by the Spirit of Truth, whichis described to be impossible to be received by an impure spirit.

This is how entry to the Kingdom of God is described to be madepossible. This differs from the biblical message of salvation, assalvation is available to "whosoever believes" in Jesus, no matterhow sinful their past, all because of the love and kindness of God.Ephesians 2:8 "For by grace are ye saved through faith;and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God" KJV. Paulspeaks a curse over anybody that preaches another gospel(Gal 1:8,9)

In chapter 62 of the first book of the ''Great Gospel of John'', themission of Jesus on Earth is described as to invite those fromdarkness to the Kingdom of love (via his message of love). Verse 9describes that up to date, not one soul could, when she left herbody, lose herself from the earth and that countless suffer in thenight of the earth. It is described that when Jesus ascends toheaven he would open the heavens and in exactly the same wayevery person would enter eternal life. It is described that this isthe task of universal reconciliation which the Messiah has toaccomplish and absolutely nothing else. Jesus came toEarth, according to Lorber's writings, to bring people tothe right path, through friendly and loving teaching.

("Great gospel of John V11 188:11). The 'Great Gospel'does not place emphasis on the crucifixion of Christ, noron the blood of Jesus for the atonement of sin, butemphasizes only the teaching of love and it's adherence byfollowers as means to salvation. See also Heb 9:13-14 and Acts2:33. For more about the Paul's Gospel, the gospel of salvationfrom a Christian perspective, see Paul's Gospelhttp://www.voiceofjesus.org/pb2chapter12.html

Throughout the writings, love as a performance worksrequirement is preached by Lorber, not love as a fruit. (Gal5:22)

2. The Trinity: Lorber does not reveal Jesus as one of threein a holy Trinity. In chapter 197 of the seventh book of the''Great Gospel of John'' it is described that within his being

is two aspects. The one is love and the other is theoutpouring of a flame of life. These two is then consideredone. Jesus alone is considered God ([Monophysitism). And

Jesus is considered to be the Father. This explanation isunscriptural. For more about the Trinity in the bible, refer to: Isthe Trinity in the Bible? http://www.wcg.org/lit/god/trinitybible.htmand for more about how Jesus, the Father and the Holy Spirit, allshare the same throne as One, see "How to Experience the Gloryof God, fountain, river, radiance, shekinah glory! by Barry Hall"http://www.tasteheavennow.net/come_drink/glory_of_god-

our_thrst.htm"

Lorbers explanation of the Trinity is totally unscripturalbased on John 15:26: But when the Comforter is come,whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spiritof truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shalltestify of me (KJV) The Holy Spirit is the Comforter. Hecomes from Jesus to those He chose to send Him to. He isthe Spirit of Truth. He testifies of Jesus. Jesus is not the

Father.

Lorbers explanation of Jesus also does not correspond to thedescription provided in Hebrews 1 in the bible.

3. Baptism: In chapter 23:6 of the first book of the

''Great Gospel of John'', it is explained that only one thing

is necessary, and that is to adhere to the teaching ofJesus. Baptism is described as a type of washing, that has

some benefits and it is described that after Jesus teaching

many went to be baptized by John. Repentance is not a

requirement for this type of baptism as is indicated in the

Acts church in the biblical account of baptism. For a more

detailed discussion on biblical baptism refer to: What Does the

Bible Say About Baptism? - AN OUTLINE OF BIBLICAL

BAPTISM, http://www.bible-truth.org/baptism.htm

4. Fear of God In chapter 59 of the first book of the''Great Gospel of John'', it is described how Jesus corrects aGod-fearing man, by telling him it is not right for him tohave fear of God, as the only thing God wants is love. In

chapter 58 of the second book of the ''Great Gospel ofJohn'' verse 3, the angel explains that one should speak toGod as if He was one's equal. None of the benefits of fearof God as mentioned in scriptures are mentioned in the'Great Gospel'. For more about fear of God from a biblical

perspective see The True Fear of God,http://www.atruechurch.info/fearofgod.html

5. A different type of holy communion: In chapter 63 of

the first book of the ''Great Gospel of John'', it is describedhow Jesus gave his followers heavenly wine which helped

them to love more. It was a special kind of wine, which

only increased the amount of love of those who already

had love, but which could not produce love where there

was none to start with. Christian communion which are

mentioned 43 times in the New Testament Communion are

replaced by this special type of wine in the 'Great Gospel'

of John. For more about holy communion in the bible refer to:

Holy Communion in the Bible,

http://www.orthodoxinternetservices.com/orthodoxy/holycommuni

on.html

6. Love more important than truth In chapter 70 of thefirst book of the ''Great Gospel of John'', it is preached that

judgment can never be out of love, and how where there is nolove there can be no truth either. The reader is assured that as

long as he holds on to love, he will find truth everywhere.Opponent of neo-evangelism, Dr. John C. Whitcomb, Jr, points outthat there is no teaching whatsoever in the New Testamentsuggesting that love is more important than doctrine or Truth, inhis document "when love divorces doctrine and unity rejectstruth" For more about absolute truth see Does Absolute TruthExist? | Christian Faith Site, http://www.christian-faith.com/forjesus/does-absolute-truth-exist 1 Tim 2:7 "For Godhath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and

of a sound mind"

7. The Law (Old Covenant) In chapter 26 of the secondbook of the ''Great Gospel of John'', it is elaborated howthe law of Moses is to be kept. There is no differentiation madein Lorber's writings between an Old Covenant and a New

Covenant.

Some scriptures that highlights discrepancies:

John 1:16,17 "And of his fullness have we received, and grace forgrace. For thelaw was given by Moses, but grace and truth cameby Jesus Christ"

Ephesians 5:18 "But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under thelaw"

Rom 8:2 "For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath mademe free from the l aw of sin and death.

Gal 3:24 "Whereas the law was our schoolmaster to bring us untoChrist, that we might be justified by faith. But after that faith iscome, we are no longer under a schoolmaster."

8. A different love In chapter 77 verse 5 of the second book ofthe ''Great Gospel of John'', the appropriate measures of love areexplained. Six measures to self. Sixty to ones neighbor and six

hundred to God. Mat 22:39 however instructs believers to lovetheir neighbor neither more nor less than we love ourselves.

9 Unbiblical food and sex teachings In the ''Great Gospel ofJohn'', book three chapter 215 verse 2 , it is explained howsex should never be engaged in for the pleasant feelingsassociated with it, but always only to produce an offspring. Inchapter 242 of the first book (verse 10 and 13) of the ''GreatGospel of John'', it is preached that certain food should be avoided

to the benefit of the spiritual development of the soul. Such foodsinclude unripe fruits, potatoes and coffee. It is explained howsouls may be "trapped" in these foods which are unfit forconsumption by those wanting to further their spiritual progresstowards rebirth. The apostle Paul warned against this type ofteachings in 1 Tim 4:3, cautioning about doctrines of demons thatwill teach people to abstain from marriage and food which Godmade good and to be received with thanksgiving. Paul alsoencourages Christian married couples not to keep their bodiessexually away from one another (1Cor7:3,4). God made sexual


6/20

intimacy between husband and wife holy and beautiful, butLorber's Jesus makes it out to be dirty, sinful and improper.

10. Reincarnation In Lorber's book, Earth and Moon in

chapter 94, the conclusion of the book describes how theearth should be seen not as a material place but as aspiritual place. The earth is described as a "mother" bodywhere souls need to become ripe in order to be birthed outof her. According to Lorber people are "saved" from theircaptivity in the material world through numerousreincarnation lives and the role of the earth in ripeningsouls are emphasized in this book. Reincarnation isessentially an ancient Hinduism belief. (see first section of

this document defining Hinduism).Lorber even distorts the word "eternity" to become"eternities" (meaning eons of ages) and hereby introducesHinduism reincarnation teachings to the readers.

11. Racism. Lorber's work suggests that different races are indifferent stages of spiritual development and some are more"developed" than others. In Scripture however there is no racismin the New Covenant. In Galatians 3:27,28 Paul states. "For as

many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.There is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female;for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.

12 The end time doctrines of Jakob Lorber contains a lot ofpredictions about judgments and catastrophes that are to happento the earth. More about this can be read in Jakob Lorber onEcological Disasters judgment day Earth Changes Gods final

judgment forest fires,

http://www.amaluxherbal.com/ecological_disasters.htm

To compare Lorber's end time doctrines with what is considered

main stream Christianity is no easy task.

*Some Christians interpret the predictions of disasters to come inMatthew 24 from a physical, but historical perspective, and see itto have already physically gone into fulfillment. (See TheHistorical Fulfillment of Matthew Chapter 24

http://www.agapebiblestudy.com/charts/Matthew%2024%20fulfilled%20historically.htm).

7/20

*Some Christians interpret the predictions of Matthew 24 assomething physical, mostly still to happen. ( See Heeding BibleProphecy: New Scripture, http://www.watch.pair.com/new-

scripture.html)*Some Christians interpret Matthew 24 only from a spiritual, notliteral perspective. (See Shamah-elim, http://shamah-elim.info/newarts.htm)

*And some interpret it on all 3 levels simultaneously

However the interpretation from a Christian perspective may

be, the biblical type ofjudgment was always there in order to

establish righteousness/ justice, which is again associated

with the throne of God, where the glory of God is revealed.

Psalm 89:14 Justice and judgment are the habitation of thythrone: mercy and truth shall go before thy face. (KJV) (alsotranslated as righteousness and judgment being the habitation ofHis throne). The throne of God, his habitation, which is where Hisglory is revealed, is thus associated with judgment that needs tocome, as things needs to be pulled into righteous alignment withHis holy nature before He can make His dwelling. It is concludedthus that the type of gloom and doom predicted as judgment forthe purpose of helping souls to "ripen" up in their reincarnation

journey towards spiritual rebirth (as Lorber's teaching goes), is nota biblical kind of judgment.

That God wants to judge unrighteousness is clear from scripture,but it is in order for righteousness to be established, so that theearth can be full of the knowledge of the glory of the Lord andthen also with the glory of the Lord (Numbers 14: 22). The glory ofGod is the essence of who He is, His kindness, mercy, love andcompassion, but also His holiness and other attributes.

From a Christian perspective, the glory of the Lord is described

by PCA Historical Center , as : "...But, above all, is the glory of Goddisplayed in the work of REDEMPTION; in that great plan of love

and mercy by a Redeemer, which was first revealed to the parents

of our race immediately after the fall; which was more and more

unfolded in the ceremonial economy; and which reached its

meridian brightness, when the Savior, the blessed "Sun of

Righteousness" rose upon a dark world. In this wonderful plan ofsalvation, the glory of God shines with its brightest lustre." (For

more about the glory of God see PCA Historical Center: "The Earth

Filled with the Glory of the Lord," by Samuel Miller (1769 - 1850)]),

http://www.pcahistory.org/documents/glory.html) Where a

different plan of salvation is preached, disconnected from the

cross of Jesus Christ, the redemptive plan of God, then the glory of

the Lord is not revealed. All that Lorber, as a false prophet is

doing, is pronouncing demonic curses over the earth, to furtherthe cause of Satan. Lorber supporters seems to be impressed with

what they see as some "scientific" projections that was made, but

that proves nothing about the purity of the source.

13. Repentance, confession, faith and humility.Repentance are not preached in a biblical sense by Lorber,

but rather a continuous striving towards selfimprovement. Confession of the promises and principles ofGod by faith, in the Spirit, to establish the Word of God onearth is not preached, but rather a victim mentality ofaccepting ones lot and seeing all suffering as a benefit tohelp ripen your soul towards rebirth. Humility in thebiblical sense, of submitting to the Word of God asrevealed in the Scriptures, bowing the knee to Him evenwhen He is not understood are not preached, but rather a"cherry picking" religion where people can for themselves

decide what is truth and what is not, creating their ownmental constructs about God and pridefully (see the irony)upholding a wormlike distorted concept of humility, which theybelieve would further their quest towards salvation. (SeeReformation Theology: Eros Spirituality Vs. Agape Faith by DavidF. Wells,http://www.reformationtheology.com/2006/05/eros_spirituality_vs_agape_fai.php)

14. Judgment. Elsewhere in this document the differencebetween soulish, carnal judgments (which the bible

indicates we should not do) and spiritual judgments in theSpirit (which the bible indicates to be essential forbelievers to do) are discussed. As Lorber believers do notpreach the resurrected Christ in the believer and

redemption by the blood of Jesus, neither the true baptismwith the Holy Spirit, they can not walk in the Spirit as thebible asks of believers, and can thus not make judgmentsin the Spirit as long as they hold on to these distorteddoctrines. They project themselves to be very pious in"respecting" all religious beliefs and not judgingunrighteousness, in the name of "love", yet judgments inthe Spirit from a true heart of compassion in order forrighteousness to be established is how holy biblical love isexpressed. Because these New Revelations distorts truth to

something relative and subjective and because the eternalconsequences of our lives on earth as preached in the bible arechanged in its meaning, the Lorber supporter are prone to sit backand wave a hand of peace to all unrighteousness, feeling verypious and self-righteous in the process. Lorber changed themeaning ofeternity, to mean "eternities", implying eons ofages and not for ever and emphasize how somebody thathas love will always find truth, to work this effect on hisreaders.

Note: The New Age "mindset" about judgment is that no personshould judge anything or anyone about anything, and we shouldall focus on our own inner journey, harmony and peace with allother people and religions in the name of "love". This is anungodly mindset, and totally contrary to the principles of holiness,whereby we are called as believers to live separated unto God,and it also indicates a lack of hate for unrighteousness and lack of

zeal for righteousness, which true love of God requires. However,

the legalistic "mindset" of judging and executing everything andeveryone that does not agree with you and your agendas,whether doing it physically or persecuting those psychologically,is also not a godly concept. In the Spirit of Christ, which is love,we are to judge as He directs, not to promote our own ideas, butfor His purposes and for the praise of His name, in selfless love,often costing us dearly. Ironically however, how "New Age" a cultgroup may have become, their distorted concept of love are oftenstill intertwined with harsh legalism, which is indeed a contraryideology, but mostly unnoticed to those involved. Harsh racist

fingers may be pointed to innocent blacks or Jews for example, bythe same hand that waves peace to the Muslim oppressor, in the


10/20

name of "love. Judgments towards those who go against theircult are often cruel and merciless. As the Spirit of God is grievedby the occult roots and unrighteousness within these groups, it isalso understandable that they can not operate from the true Spirit

of love, and only strive to produce outward charitiesfor the selfishpurpose of advancing their own spiritual progress, but lacking truelove that comes from the Spirit first and from the heart. Love is afruit, and sadly, how much these groups may talk about love andworks of love, and sweat to produce outward charities of someform, this can not create within them the fruit of true Christ-likelove.

15. Power and spiritual authority. Because of the

distortion in doctrine, and the blood of Jesus trampled onby Lorber believers, no power and spiritual authority isfound among them. Those who later progress deeper intothe occult may end up operating from demonic powers,but Lorber doesn't preach occult practices in that sense.Biblical verses like Mark 16:15-18 are convenientlydiscredited from the bible, as they are not their reality."He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but hethat believeth not shall be damned. And these signs shallfollow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out

devils; they shall speak with new tongues; they shall takeup serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall nothurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shallrecover."

Mystics advocating that scripture is better understoodthrough their work

It is common for neo-revelationists to underline that scripture isbetter interpreted through their writings and to assurepeople that their ability to embrace the new teachingswithout opposition is proof of their purity and high level ofspiritual development and love. This is considered evilmanipulative mind-control to keep people away from seekingtruth and testing the revelation against Scripture.

Lorber and Swedenborg fails all tests


11/20

Lorber and Swedenborg fails all tests when their fundamentaldoctrines are compared against Scripture as illustrated in previouspoints.

The Jesus of Jakob Lorber and Swedenborg is not thebiblical Jesus. This Jesus does not give offence like thebiblical Jesus (1Peter 2:8), his love is not holy, his gospelis not grace and truth (John 1:16,17) and he does not bringfreedom and life but bondage to his followers. (John10:10).

Jakob Lorber is a classic demonstration of what 2 Tim 4:3,4warned about

"For the time will come when they will not endure sounddoctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap tothemselves teachers, having itching ears; and they shallturn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turnedunto fables."

And fables Lorber do produce a lot of. From strangeanimals and plants on Saturn, to people from other planetsborn on earth recalling their strange formal lives, elves onthe moon, babies on the son, and many strange

happenings during Jesus journey and childhood on earthare colorfully told to the reader to fascinate and drawaway from truth into a demonic occult web. He alsointroduces many foreign "scientific" concepts, such as howpeople need regular encounters with flies as a vital part oflife. But overall Lorber teaches escapism, rather than howto overcome in this life by the power of the blood of JesusChrist. Lorber represents a total demonic lie, and distortsthe message of the cross to a foolish "works program"

towards deserving one's salvation rather than thankfullyreceiving grace through faith and living from arelationship with the living Christ.

Mind-control and phenonina in Neo - revelationist cultgroups

There are many kinds of cult groups, but in this document aremore specifically referred to groups where there is a prominent


12/20

prophet who hears from God on their behalf. As for these Germanmystics, like Lorber and Swedenborg, their supporters do not staytogether geographically or necessarily come together forfellowship, but they still share much of the same world-view as

influenced by the "prophet's" writings. Some groups are muchmore extreme than the movement started by the German mysticsmentioned in this document, especially where it is suggested tomembers to give away or sell their possessions and then to movein together in a cult community, as it gets explained to them howshort the time is before some coming catastrophe or how good itwould be for their spiritual development.

Mind control is always evident in all these groups and

the focus always gets shifted to pay more attention to therevealed revelations than to the Scripture. Lorber's

writings consisted of close to 10,000 pages, according to

"astrology week". (Jakob Lorber biography, picture, books,

astrology natal chart http://www.astrologyweekly.com/natal-

charts/jakob-lorber.php) which is an overwhelming amount of new

material for a new Lorber convert to start reading.

It often gets explained to the new convert by other Lorberfollowers, that even though the Scriptures (Old and New

Testament) are also from God, and the New Revelation forms the

3rd part of the new trio Bible, it is more important to study the

words that are directly spoken by Jesus. Jesus Himself, after all is

the living Word. As Paul's words and other prophets and

apostles in the bible's words are mere men's word, even

though considered "bible", the most can be taught when

Jesus's direct words are read. As doubt are being placed

on the accuracy of translations in scripture, due to what is

considered the plot of what is considered the evil catholic

church, it is subtly "hinted" that the New Revelation will

get preference with the reader. Working through 10,000

pages, such as produced by Lorber, some of high mystical

content and not an easy read, howwill a reader find time

to read the bible still, especially among a full program of

charitable "love" work engaged in (in order to work about

his own salvation)? The point is he often wouldn't. And a

13/20

total new Gnostic mind-set get's introduced, in the name

of a "so called" Jesus, in the form of a "so called" love

doctrine and with a reader cleverly beguiled to think this

is all the same bible.

In these groups, the ones that accepts the New Revelation

without protest, questions, or skepticism, are considered the more

"pure", "ripe", and "spiritual" people, whereby those who rejects

or even just question the content of the New Revelation in a way

suggesting it may be not of God, is seen as troublemakers, pride,

impure and contaminated with the old stream of "church"

mentality that had been deposited in them. Readers or members

are encouraged to receive the "New Revelation" as on a blankpage, in humility. Then it will be clear to all, that this is indeed a

worthy follower, pure enough to hear the voice of the Shepherd

and it will mean that they adhere to the first commandment to

love Jesus above all. So, the reader, eager to love Jesus and lay

down his/her life for Him, get's deeper into the trap, rested

assured that it is the same Jesus speaking, for indeed the people

of the group does acknowledge the Scriptures as from God.

Besides, it gets emphasized that Lorber was such an eager biblereader before he received the "inner voice", and the idea gets

deposited that surely he (Lorber), with such an impressive

knowledge of Scripture, would have picked up if the "inner voice"

was lying to him.

Lorber teaches, and his followers embrace this concept, that

the more love a person has, the more he will find truth, so all that

really matters is love. And Lorber proceeds to "define" love, by theworks that ones must do. This is totally contradictory to the

message of the New Testament, but is in alignment with Gnostic

thinking.

Regardless of whether the group stay together or not, some

commonalities that mostly are associated with extreme forms of

mind control is


14/20

1. Long working hours and inadequate rest. People are

made to feel that they are supposed to work very long

hours daily, in order to keep them from becoming still and

paying attention to the gentle voice of the Holy Spirit inside. Ways

are sometimes even devised to discourage people from agood nights sleep, such as telling them to sit up while

sleeping (like suggested by Lorber). A tired mind are more

receptacle to mind control.

2. Followers are taught how sickness and pain are

beneficial to their salvation. With this and many other

Lorber teachings, a reader does not feel treasured and

loved by God, but is forever trying to measure up. Ratherthat receiving understanding of how deeply they are loved

of God, and being taught how to receive this love and

drink from it, so they can give it away to others, they are

made to feel unworthy wormlike sinners, who are believed

to be prideful when they think of themselves in any other

way. Subconsciously the idea is created that they only

matter because of what they can do for others and what

they can do for God, and in this all, they fail to understandthe true Father heart of God. How they can do works of

love for others, and strive towards purer lives, by the

prophets definition, is what makes them have a sense of

worth. Their love teaching, in its essence, is selfish and

self-centered at its roots.

3. Sometimes members are also discouraged from

worshipping God, assuring them that God is not interested

in that.

4. A feeling of "superiority" or ecsclusivity among

members are cultivated through various teachings, which

may include racist teachings. They believe they see "more"

than other groups and are far more "enlightened".

5. Discouragement of free thinking: People who speaksagainst the leader of prophet or who asks uncomfortable


15/20

questions are almost always persecuted, even though

sometimes only emotionally not physically. (They will be

pointed at for example as prideful, or not pure and loving

enough to embrace the truth of the teachings without

resistance and will often be pushed away by otherfollowers for fear of "contamination").

6. A form of love and works of love are preached, but true

compassion and care are usually lacking.

7. Purification of the soul are preached as an important

work towards achieving salvation or "rebirth", and the

methods of purification are normally "prescribed" by the

prophet, such as the restriction of sex, food, and the

discouragement of woman to dress fashionably and to

wear make-up.

8. Finances: In addition, people in cult groups are always

motivated to give all their finances away in a grossly

irresponsible way, or as much as possible, in order to impoverish

them, rather than to teach wise stewardship of money and how to

be lead by the Holy Spirit in everything one does.

9. Mediator Cults are always marked by people who

thinks they need a mediator to hear from God, some prophet

or some church leader, and they do not understand that the blood

of Jesus Christ opened up the veil so we can enter into the

presence of the Father and walk with Him daily (Heb 10:19,20). In

some groups there are more than one that claim they can hear

the 'inner voice', who are then placed on some kind of platform.

10. Coming disasters or some kind of coming persecution

are emphasized. It makes the person feel that they will be

safer and more prepared to stay with the group, or

"prophet", because of the "higher knowledge" that

becomes available through this person.

Often a cult group, like described above, started off as pureChristian, but got deceived and fell away from grace along theway. They then start yielding to these new revelations which oneof the members start to receive. Often time it is a group that at

one time actually did discover some "special" truth, which mayindeed be true, like for example the true name of Jesus as Yeshua,or the truth behind Christmas day, or special knowledge of how tointerpret dreams, or improper tampering with newer translationsof the bible, or deep spiritual understanding about some otheraspect of life, that made them to see themselves as separate andbetter than other believers, and so pride opened the way fordeception to enter in.

Association among groupsSome Lorber supporters may disconnects themselves fromSwedenborgianism, thinking the roots to be different, but thismakes no sense, as Lorber's "Jesus" clearly states his approval ofSwedenborg and confirms that his writings was from the samesource.

Some Swedenborgianists may disconnect themselves from

Leopold Engel and his involvement with the Illuminati, thinking theroots to be different, but this makes no sense either, because theRite of Swedenborg (Freemasonry), which Engel was associatedwith, was named after Swedenborg and consisted mainly out ofmembers from his church.

Some Lorber readers disconnect themselves from Leopold Engeland his occult involvement, but that also holds no water, forLorber connected himself to Swedenborg through the things the

"Jesus" who spoke through him said about Swedenborg, (whoagain is connected with Boehme, an acknowledged occultist), andSwedenborg was deeply involved with Freemasonry just likeEngel.

If closely examined the link between all these neo-revelationists,whether Swedenborg, Lorber, Dudde, Boehme or whether someneo-revelationist on some farm where a cult group stays togetherin a community, becomes evident. The demonic spirits that

whisper these "other gospels" are never the True Jesus Christ andtherefore it always has the same evil characteristics and patterns,

even though some groups can be more extreme than others. Theywill always bind people and blind people, whilst claiming to bringthem "superior" light and impressing them with fables and socalled "higher knowledge".

Lorbers Epistle to the Laodiceans exposes him further asa false prophet

Lorber claimed to have heard by the inner voice, the "lost" letterPaul wrote to the assembly of the Laodiceans, as referred to inColossians 4:16.

This letter is available for inspection by the reader at:

The first four verses are included here:

1. Paul, an Apostle of Jesus Christ, through the Will of God, andthe race of God and Timothy our Brother. 2. The holy assembly ofLaodicea and all the faithful brothers in it, and the wise in theSpirit of God: Grace be with you and the true peace from God, ourFather, in the Lord Jesus Christ. 3. We thank, extol, and praise

God at all times, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, and bearmuch concern for you; and we pray at all times for you to God. 4.We have come into the knowledge through the Spirit of the Lord,and through our Brother Epaphras and through Nymphas, that youhave been backsliding in several things.

What is believed to be a manuscript of what Paul wrote (still keptin the British museum), exist today and is available for inspectionby the reader at website of "the reluctant messenger":

anyone who perverts the truth, that they may draw you asidefrom the truth of the Gospel which I have preached.

The two letters are clearly totally different, confirming

Jakob Lorber once again as a false prophet. His version theletter to the church is aimed at causing further dividebetween Lorber supporters and the rest of the body ofChrist, and is not the true letter to the church of Laodicea.Many people get hurt in churches. We know there are still manyshortcomings and weaknesses within organized religion and it'sstructures the way it is now. But Lorber finds a connection here, asubtle bonding with the person that wants to disconnect fromwhat he considers to be "church". A place of belonging is found in

such a reader with Lorber, who received by the "inner voice" thislost one of Paul's letter, where he harshly criticising the structureof organised religion and it's temple buildings in his letter. Thereader is made to believe that it was because of the huge upsetthis letter caused, that it was made to get "lost". None of this istrue however per any of the documented sources investigated.

Even though organized religion, the way it operates largely atpresent, is not truly filled with the glory of the Lord Jesus Christ,

God invites us to join Him in His greater plan of restoration, not tomaintain a position of offence. Offense and pride cultivates theground for deception to enter in, as it hardens the heart towardsthe Spirit of the living God. When carefully examined, one will findthat slowly but surely among these mystic supporters a us andthem mentality are created. Ironically the people from EasternReligions are respected for their religious beliefs and trusted untoGod to bring them to salvation through the avenues set for theirspiritual development, but the rest of the body of Christ are seenas opponents, wicked Pharisees, disillusioned fools, who cling so

hard to their bibles without allowing themselves to come to whatis perceived by them to be true enlightenment. Their judgenot philosophy thus applies mainly to Muslim, Eastern religionsand Atheists, but not really to the body of Christ, yet this doublemindedness are rarely noticed and conveniently dismissed. Referalso to other discussions about judgment and the way Godrequires of a believer to judge, in this same document.

Lorber points out, that God respects peoples free choices. God

gave the earth for us (mankind) to rule on, and unless we make ahabitation for Him to dwell, through alignment with the mind of

Christ, leading to true righteousness, the body of Christ, Godsanswer to the world, will stay in bondage themselves.

Conclusion

Even though the bible encourage biblical prophecy (1 Cor 14:1)

and commands readers not to despise prophecy (1Thes 5:20), we

are told in context with this not to quench the Spirit (1Thes5:19),

to test all things (1Thes5:21) and to abstain from every form of

evil (1Thes 5:22). Although prophecies should not be despised,

and should always be tested, it also can never replace a personal

relationship that the Lord Jesus Christ wants to have with his

followers. Jesus alone is our mediator to the Father, and the HolySpirit was sent to teach believers all truth according to scripture.

It is true that Jesus speaks today still, and it is true that He is the

Living Word, but He will never reveal Himself contrary to the

Scripture, and when we lose the solid ground the bible brings, we

are lured towards a shaky mystical world full of relatives and

packed with lies.

Due to the different gospel preached by Christian mystics andneo-revelationists, when tested against Scripture, it has to berejected as demonic and evil, even if the message preached hasan appearance of love.

It is indeed sad how many Christians are deceived today, swept

into the wave of this New Emerging Church Gnostic movement,

which is, as disclosed in this document, nothing other than Satan

himself disguised as an angel of light.

The Apostle Paul said in Galatians 1:8,9 that if anybodypreaches any other gospel than the gospel he brought tothe church, let him be accursed. He repeats this twice tounderline the importance. Even when a message from anangel of light is preached, bringing "another" gospel,Christians are required to depart from it. It is only theblood of Jesus Christ that can bring atonement for sin. The

author is not dismissing that valid supernatural encountershappens. They surely do. When an angel from heaven for example


20/20

brings a message in accordance with the gospel of Paul, itmay be received with thanksgiving, but always everythingshould continuously be tested against Scripture. (See exampleof such angelic visitation in: You Are Covered (Atonement)

http://www.angelsonassignment.org/atonement.html)In this document it was disclosed how Christian mysticsrelates closely to Freemasonry and also to the Illuminatiand how their work falls into place with the 21 goals of theIlluminati. Also in this document, the evil and unbiblicalfoundations in religious practice and doctrines preachedby Jakob Lorber, Swedenborg and other "New Revelation"prophets were disclosed, proving how it can safely be

concluded that they are dangerous false prophets thatspeaks from an occult spirit of divination and not from theHoly Spirit.

It is the will of the Lord Jesus Christ that the truth will set peoplefree (John 8:31). To His name and His name alone, be all glory andhonor and praise!

of the firnament; and they shall turn many to righteousness as thestars for ever and ever"
