THE CHURCH MILITANT
Revelation 21:9-14 regarding the Heavenly Jerusalem:
12 And had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel:
13 On the east three gates; on the north three gates; on the south three gates; and on the west three gates.
14 And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
Behold, this Heart which has so loved men that it has spared nothing, even to exhausting and consuming itself, in order to testify its love. In return, I receive from the greater part only ingratitude, by their irreverence and sacrilege, and by the coldness and contempt they have for Me in this sacrament of love.
Note from Robert:
In referring here to reincarnation indications by Rudolf Steiner, it would be more accurate to say that some of these indications are not necessarily explicit but rather are “implicit” reincarnation indications, which we have discussed in earlier podcasts. It needs to be emphasized, however, that the reincarnation statements given in these podcasts—both explicit Steiner indications and implicit indications—are a matter of one-hundred per cent certainty. As has been spoken of from the very beginning of these podcasts, it is a matter of providing a “platform of truth” for the further unfolding of spiritual science since the time of Rudolf Steiner’s death in 1925.
Note from Robert: See the article: Robert Powell, “Subnature and the Second Coming,” published in the book edited by Paul V. O’Leary, The Inner Life of the Earth (Great Barrington, Massachusetts: Steiner Books, 2008), chapter 3.
2 Thessalonians 2:3-17 see podcast 249 A
“Don’t let anyone deceive you in any way, for that day will not come (he means the second coming of Jesus Christ) until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the man doomed to destruction. 4 He will oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God or is worshiped, so that he sets himself up in God’s temple, proclaiming himself to be God. 5 Don’t you remember that when I was with you I used to tell you these things? 6 And now you know what is holding him back, so that he may be revealed at the proper time. 7 For the secret power of lawlessness is already at work; but the one who now holds it back will continue to do so till he is taken out of the way. 8 And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will overthrow with the breath of his mouth and destroy by the splendor of his coming. 9 The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with how satan works. He will use all sorts of displays of power through signs and wonders that serve the lie, 10 and all the ways that wickedness deceives those who are perishing. They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. 11 For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie 12 and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness.
Stand Firm
13 But we ought always to thank God for you, brothers and sisters loved by the Lord, because God chose you as firstfruits to be saved through the sanctifying work of the Spirit and through belief in the truth. 14 He called you to this through our gospel, that you might share in the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. 15 So then, brothers and sisters, stand firm and hold fast to the teachings[c] we passed on to you, whether by word of mouth or by letter.16 May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and by his grace gave us eternal encouragement and good hope, 17 encourage your hearts and strengthen you in every good deed and word.”
