8984 Ascension of Jesus....

May 27, 1965: Book 94

Also My ascension is a doubtful event for you men because you cannot believe it that only a process happened visibly, which all souls that have become perfect experience, which you just cannot follow and that is why also My ascension seems to be unbelievable to you, but which actually happened, however only visibly again for the ones who are Mine, for My disciples and all who believed in Me and in My mission, who believed it that in Me the highest being hid Itself, and that is why they also could experience everything unusual without them having been forced to believe. And purpose of My visible ascent upwards was only that that My disciples, to whom I had given the assignment to go out into the world to announce My gospel, could stand up for Me and My word in all strength of faith, because they saw Me with their bodily eyes go up to heaven, and thus they experienced the crowning of their faith that I disappeared before their eyes, that they could clearly see and recognize Me and that I was suddenly no longer there, because the spiritual kingdom had received Me again, the kingdom where I reigned in power and glory.... My body had spiritualized itself, and it was this spiritual cover which was visible to disciples until I disappeared before their eyes. Yet this ascension of Mine had left no emptiness in them but only brought them the confirmation that every word they had heard from My mouth had been truth. And that is why they also stood up for every word full of conviction and they became right announcers for Me, who could speak filled with My spirit, who therefore also mentioned everything of it, what took place with the work of mercy.... that they therefore testified of Me and the work of redemption. The fact that My ascension is again and again doubted by people is due to the fact that the actual purpose of the human being is unknown to them, that the spiritualization process of the body is alien to them and that they will not be able to gain information about it until they seriously decide to increase their spiritual maturity themselves. Then also this process would be believable to them, which was nothing else than the passage of the spiritualized body into the kingdom on the other side, where life is continued in all bliss. But for this the belief in a survival of the soul belongs first.... Who does not have this faith, he will also not want to believe in a process, which should be a proof for you men for the survival of the soul after death. But My disciples did not lack this faith, it is just that such visible evidence of My presence had not yet been given to them.... But that is why I could let the process become visible to them, because they had already penetrated into knowledge and now only experienced the confirmation of it. They were certainly saddened to now finally know Me there, where also their true home was, but they knew it that I wanted to prepare the place for them, where also they were to stay one day, to reap the fruits of the earth change, which consisted in the spreading of the gospel and showed many men the way up. And however difficult the ways were, which they had to go, they had nevertheless experienced Me; they knew it that I was now with them, that I directed their thoughts and again and again gave them instructions, which were to make their mission easier for them.... For no-one could any longer rob them of the faith that I was God Myself, that they also now receive the strength from Me directly, and thus they were also filled by My spirit, as I had promised them.... They knew that they only still had to fulfil their mission in order to then likewise leave the earth valley and be able to enter the kingdom of light.... Yet to you people of the end time all this seems like a legend which you cannot believe, yet My ascension into heaven has indeed taken place, which will be understandable to everyone who has already penetrated further into spiritual knowledge and who himself makes an effort to spiritualize his body.... Then he, too, will ascend to the eternal light, only that it will remain hidden from his fellow human beings and must also remain hidden so as not to force them to believe.... But those disciples were already alive in their faith, and I knew it that it only helped them to strengthen their faith, why only those were allowed to experience My ascension, for whom it no longer meant compulsion of faith. And so you should also accept it that it truly took place, and you will also be able to do it when a little knowledge has been presented to you about it, which meaning and purpose your earth life has at all.... Then everything will also become understandable to you for which the completely ignorant cannot muster any understanding....

Amen
