JAKOB LORBER

Doctrine and religious practice, exposing

them further as false prophets

Jer 5:31
"The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule
by their means; and my people love to have it so; and
what 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 nearly
always appear pleasant and positive. They like to be with
Christians, and they know how to talk and act like believers. False
prophets usually exude sincerity and thereby more easily deceive
others (see 2Tim 3:13). But you can identify false teachers' true
colors by noting what they do not talk much about. They usually
don't deny basic doctrines such as Christ's deity and
substitutuonary atonement, the sinfullness of humanity, or
unbelievers' going to hell. They simply ignore such "controversial"
truths. But whenever a false prophet is in your midst, you must
not ignore his presence or the harmful effects of his heretical
teachings. (From Truth for Today by John MacArthur).

"The problem is that we often seek the God we want, but do not
know the God who is" (From Walking with Christ in the Details of
Life by Patrick Morley).

Even though these prophets does quote some scriptures from

time to time it should be noted that Yanking Scriptures out of
context 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 were
friends with it. The spotless purity of truth must always be at war
with the blackness of heresy and lies.’ C.H. Spurgeon

Jakob Lorber:
Some of the doctrines and religious practices that Jakob Lorber
introduced that is directly contrary to scripture is
:
1 A different message of salvation and spiritual rebirth: In
chapter 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 his
soul through works of love. Thirdly a person's spirit needs to be
awakened from the grave of judgment. These three steps are
described as the process of rebirth. In chapter 18:8 the Lord is
described to explain to Nicodemus that to be born of water means
to be born of humility, and only then by the Spirit of Truth, which
is described to be impossible to be received by an impure spirit.
This is how entry to the Kingdom of God is described to be made
possible. This differs from the biblical message of salvation, as
salvation is available to "whosoever believes" in Jesus, no matter
how 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. Paul
speaks 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'', the

mission of Jesus on Earth is described as to invite those from
darkness to the Kingdom of love (via his message of love). Verse 9
describes that up to date, not one soul could, when she left her
body, lose herself from the earth and that countless suffer in the
night of the earth. It is described that when Jesus ascends to
heaven he would open the heavens and in exactly the same way
every person would enter eternal life. It is described that this is
the task of universal reconciliation which the Messiah has to
accomplish and absolutely nothing else. Jesus came to
Earth, according to Lorber's writings, to bring people to
the 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, nor
on the blood of Jesus for the atonement of sin, but
emphasizes only the teaching of love and it's adherence by
followers as means to salvation. See also Heb 9:13-14 and Acts
2:33. For more about the Paul's Gospel, the gospel of salvation
from a Christian perspective, see Paul's Gospel
http://www.voiceofjesus.org/pb2chapter12.html
•
 Throughout the writings, love as a performance works
requirement is preached by Lorber, not love as a fruit. (Gal5:22)
2. The Trinity: Lorber does not reveal Jesus as one of three
in 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 the
outpouring of a flame of life. These two is then considered
one. Jesus alone is considered God ([Monophysitism). And
Jesus is considered to be the Father. This explanation is
unscriptural. For more about the Trinity in the bible, refer to: Is
the Trinity in the Bible? http://www.wcg.org/lit/god/trinitybible.htm
and for more about how Jesus, the Father and the Holy Spirit, all
share the same throne as One, see "How to Experience the Glory
of God, fountain, river, radiance, shekinah glory! by Barry Hall"
http://www.tasteheavennow.net/come_drink/glory_of_god-
our_thrst.htm"

Lorber’s explanation of the Trinity is totally unscriptural

based on John 15:26: “But when the Comforter is come,
whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit
of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall
testify of me” (KJV) The Holy Spirit is the Comforter. He
comes from Jesus to those He chose to send Him to. He is
the Spirit of Truth. He testifies of Jesus. Jesus is not the
Father.

Lorber’s explanation of Jesus also does not correspond to the

description 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 of
Jesus. 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 a
God-fearing man, by telling him it is not right for him to
have fear of God, as the only thing God wants is love. In
chapter 58 of the second book of the ''Great Gospel of
John'' verse 3, the angel explains that one should speak to
God as if He was one's equal. None of the benefits of fear
of 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 described
how 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 the

first book of the ''Great Gospel of John'', it is preached that
judgment can never be out of love, and how where there is no
love 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 out
that there is no teaching whatsoever in the New Testament
suggesting that love is more important than doctrine or Truth, in
his document "when love divorces doctrine and unity rejects
truth" For more about absolute truth see Does Absolute Truth
Exist? | Christian Faith Site, http://www.christian-
faith.com/forjesus/does-absolute-truth-exist 1 Tim 2:7 "For God
hath 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 second
book of the ''Great Gospel of John'', it is elaborated how
the law of Moses is to be kept. There is no differentiation made
in 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 for
grace. For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came
by Jesus Christ"
Ephesians 5:18 "But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the
law"
Rom 8:2 "For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made
me free from the l aw of sin and death.
Gal 3:24 "Whereas the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto
Christ, that we might be justified by faith. But after that faith is
come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster."

8. A different love In chapter 77 verse 5 of the second book of

the ''Great Gospel of John'', the appropriate measures of love are
explained. Six measures to self. Sixty to ones neighbor and six
hundred to God. Mat 22:39 however instructs believers to love
their neighbor neither more nor less than we love ourselves.

9 Unbiblical food and sex teachings In the ''Great Gospel of

John'', book three chapter 215 verse 2 , it is explained how
sex should never be engaged in for the pleasant feelings
associated with it, but always only to produce an offspring. In
chapter 242 of the first book (verse 10 and 13) of the ''Great
Gospel of John'', it is preached that certain food should be avoided
to the benefit of the spiritual development of the soul. Such foods
include unripe fruits, potatoes and coffee. It is explained how
souls may be "trapped" in these foods which are unfit for
consumption by those wanting to further their spiritual progress
towards rebirth. The apostle Paul warned against this type of
teachings in 1 Tim 4:3, cautioning about doctrines of demons that
will teach people to abstain from marriage and food which God
made good and to be received with thanksgiving. Paul also
encourages Christian married couples not to keep their bodies
sexually away from one another (1Cor7:3,4). God made sexual
intimacy between husband and wife holy and beautiful, but
Lorber'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 the
earth should be seen not as a material place but as a
spiritual place. The earth is described as a "mother" body
where souls need to become ripe in order to be birthed out
of her. According to Lorber people are "saved" from their
captivity in the material world through numerous
reincarnation lives and the role of the earth in ripening
souls are emphasized in this book. Reincarnation is
essentially 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 introduces
Hinduism reincarnation teachings to the readers.

11. Racism. Lorber's work suggests that different races are in

different stages of spiritual development and some are more
"developed" than others. In Scripture however there is no racism
in 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 of

predictions about judgments and catastrophes that are to happen
to the earth. More about this can be read in Jakob Lorber on
Ecological 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 in
Matthew 24 from a physical, but historical perspective, and see it
to have already physically gone into fulfillment. (See The
Historical Fulfillment of Matthew Chapter 24
http://www.agapebiblestudy.com/charts/Matthew
%2024%20fulfilled%20historically.htm).
*Some Christians interpret the predictions of Matthew 24 as
something physical, mostly still to happen. ( See Heeding Bible
Prophecy: New Scripture, http://www.watch.pair.com/new-
scripture.html)

*Some Christians interpret Matthew 24 only from a spiritual, not

literal 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 of judgment 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 thy

throne: mercy and truth shall go before thy face. (KJV)” (also
translated as righteousness and judgment being the habitation of
His throne). The throne of God, his habitation, which is where His
glory is revealed, is thus associated with judgment that needs to
come, as things needs to be pulled into righteous alignment with
His holy nature before He can make His dwelling. It is concluded
thus that the type of gloom and doom predicted as judgment for
the purpose of helping souls to "ripen" up in their reincarnation
journey towards spiritual rebirth (as Lorber's teaching goes), is not
a 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 the
earth can be full of the knowledge of the glory of the Lord and
then also with the glory of the Lord (Numbers 14: 22). The glory of
God is the essence of who He is, His kindness, mercy, love and
compassion, 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 God
displayed 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 of
salvation, 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 further
the 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 self
improvement. Confession of the promises and principles of
God by faith, in the Spirit, to establish the Word of God on
earth is not preached, but rather a victim mentality of
accepting one’s lot and seeing all suffering as a benefit to
help ripen your soul towards rebirth. Humility in the
biblical sense, of submitting to the Word of God as
revealed in the Scriptures, bowing the knee to Him even
when 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 own
mental constructs about God and pridefully (see the irony)
upholding a wormlike distorted concept of humility, which they
believe would further their quest towards salvation. (See
Reformation Theology: Eros Spirituality Vs. Agape Faith by David
F. Wells,
http://www.reformationtheology.com/2006/05/eros_spirituality_vs_
agape_fai.php)
•
 14. Judgment. Elsewhere in this document the difference
between soulish, carnal judgments (which the bible
indicates we should not do) and spiritual judgments in the
Spirit (which the bible indicates to be essential for
believers to do) are discussed. As Lorber believers do not
preach the resurrected Christ in the believer and
redemption by the blood of Jesus, neither the true baptism
with the Holy Spirit, they can not walk in the Spirit as the
bible asks of believers, and can thus not make judgments
in the Spirit as long as they hold on to these distorted
doctrines. They project themselves to be very pious in
"respecting" all religious beliefs and not judging
unrighteousness, in the name of "love", yet judgments in
the Spirit from a true heart of compassion in order for
righteousness to be established is how holy biblical love is
expressed. Because these New Revelations distorts truth to
something relative and subjective and because the eternal
consequences of our lives on earth as preached in the bible are
changed in its meaning, the Lorber supporter are prone to sit back
and wave a hand of peace to all unrighteousness, feeling very
pious and self-righteous in the process. Lorber changed the
meaning of eternity, to mean "eternities", implying eons of
ages and not for ever and emphasize how somebody that
has love will always find truth, to work this effect on his
readers.

Note: The New Age "mindset" about judgment is that no person

should judge anything or anyone about anything, and we should
all focus on our own inner journey, harmony and peace with all
other people and religions in the name of "love". This is an
ungodly 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 and
everyone 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, but
for His purposes and for the praise of His name, in selfless love,
often costing us dearly. Ironically however, how "New Age" a cult
group may have become, their distorted concept of love are often
still intertwined with harsh legalism, which is indeed a contrary
ideology, but mostly unnoticed to those involved. Harsh racist
fingers may be pointed to innocent blacks or Jews for example, by
the same hand that waves peace to the Muslim oppressor, in the
name of "love”. Judgments towards those who go against their
cult are often cruel and merciless. As the Spirit of God is grieved
by the occult roots and unrighteousness within these groups, it is
also understandable that they can not operate from the true Spirit
of love, and only strive to produce outward charities for the selfish
purpose of advancing their own spiritual progress, but lacking true
love that comes from the Spirit first and from the heart. Love is a
fruit, and sadly, how much these groups may talk about love and
works of love, and sweat to produce outward charities of some
form, this can not create within them the fruit of true Christ-like
love.

15. Power and spiritual authority. Because of the

distortion in doctrine, and the blood of Jesus trampled on
by Lorber believers, no power and spiritual authority is
found among them. Those who later progress deeper into
the 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 conveniently
discredited from the bible, as they are not their reality.
"He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he
that believeth not shall be damned. And these signs shall
follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out
devils; they shall speak with new tongues; they shall take
up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not
hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall
recover."

Mystics advocating that scripture is better understood

through their work
It is common for neo-revelationists to underline that scripture is
better interpreted through their writings and to assure
people that their ability to embrace the new teachings
without opposition is proof of their purity and high level of
spiritual development and love. This is considered evil
manipulative mind-control to keep people away from seeking
truth and testing the revelation against Scripture.

Lorber and Swedenborg fails all tests

Lorber and Swedenborg fails all tests when their fundamental
doctrines are compared against Scripture as illustrated in previous
points.

The Jesus of Jakob Lorber and Swedenborg is not the

biblical Jesus. This Jesus does not give offence like the
biblical Jesus (1Peter 2:8), his love is not holy, his gospel
is not grace and truth (John 1:16,17) and he does not bring
freedom and life but bondage to his followers. (John
10:10).

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

warned about
"For the time will come when they will not endure sound
doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to
themselves teachers, having itching ears; and they shall
turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned
unto fables."
And fables Lorber do produce a lot of. From strange
animals and plants on Saturn, to people from other planets
born on earth recalling their strange formal lives, elves on
the moon, babies on the son, and many strange
happenings during Jesus’ journey and childhood on earth
are colorfully told to the reader to fascinate and draw
away from truth into a demonic occult web. He also
introduces many foreign "scientific" concepts, such as how
people need regular encounters with flies as a vital part of
life. But overall Lorber teaches escapism, rather than how
to overcome in this life by the power of the blood of Jesus
Christ. Lorber represents a total demonic lie, and distorts
the message of the cross to a foolish "works program"
towards deserving one's salvation rather than thankfully
receiving grace through faith and living from a
relationship with the living Christ.

Mind-control and phenonina in Neo-revelationist cult

groups

There are many kinds of cult groups, but in this document are
more specifically referred to groups where there is a prominent
prophet who hears from God on their behalf. As for these German
mystics, like Lorber and Swedenborg, their supporters do not stay
together geographically or necessarily come together for
fellowship, but they still share much of the same world-view as
influenced by the "prophet's" writings. Some groups are much
more extreme than the movement started by the German mystics
mentioned in this document, especially where it is suggested to
members to give away or sell their possessions and then to move
in together in a cult community, as it gets explained to them how
short the time is before some coming catastrophe or how good it
would 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 the
revealed 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 Lorber
followers, 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, how will 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
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 blank
page, 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 bible
reader 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 the
works 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
•
 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 a
good 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. Rather
that 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 understand
the true Father heart of God. How they can do works of
love for others, and strive towards purer lives, by the
prophet’s definition, is what makes them have a sense of
worth. Their “love” teaching, in it’s essence, is selfish and
self-centered at it’s 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 speaks
against the leader of prophet or who asks uncomfortable
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 other
followers 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 pure
Christian, but got deceived and fell away from grace along the
way. They then start yielding to these new revelations which one
of the members start to receive. Often time it is a group that at
one time actually did discover some "special" truth, which may
indeed be true, like for example the true name of Jesus as Yeshua,
or the truth behind Christmas day, or special knowledge of how to
interpret dreams, or improper tampering with newer translations
of the bible, or deep spiritual understanding about some other
aspect of life, that made them to see themselves as separate and
better than other believers, and so pride opened the way for
deception to enter in.

Association among groups

Some Lorber supporters may disconnects themselves from

Swedenborgianism, thinking the roots to be different, but this
makes no sense, as Lorber's "Jesus" clearly states his approval of
Swedenborg and confirms that his writings was from the same
source.

Some Swedenborgianists may disconnect themselves from

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

Some Lorber readers disconnect themselves from Leopold Engel

and his occult involvement, but that also holds no water, for
Lorber connected himself to Swedenborg through the things the
"Jesus" who spoke through him said about Swedenborg, (who
again is connected with Boehme, an acknowledged occultist), and
Swedenborg was deeply involved with Freemasonry just like
Engel.

If closely examined the link between all these neo-revelationists,

whether Swedenborg, Lorber, Dudde, Boehme or whether some
neo-revelationist on some farm where a cult group stays together
in a community, becomes evident. The demonic spirits that
whisper these "other gospels" are never the True Jesus Christ and
therefore it always has the same evil characteristics and patterns,
even though some groups can be more extreme than others. They
will always bind people and blind people, whilst claiming to bring
them "superior" light and impressing them with fables and so
called "higher knowledge".

Lorber’s Epistle to the Laodiceans exposes him further as

a false prophet
Lorber claimed to have heard by the inner voice, the "lost" letter
Paul wrote to the assembly of the Laodiceans, as referred to in
Colossians 4:16.

This letter is available for inspection by the reader at:

http://www.merkurpublishing.com/letter_of_saint_paul_to_the_laod
iceans.htm

The first four verses are included here:

1. Paul, an Apostle of Jesus Christ, through the Will of God, and
the race of God and Timothy our Brother. 2. The holy assembly of
Laodicea and all the faithful brothers in it, and the wise in the
Spirit of God: Grace be with you and the true peace from God, our
Father, in the Lord Jesus Christ. 3. We thank, extol, and praise
God at all times, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, and bear
much 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 you
have been backsliding in several things.

What is believed to be a manuscript of what Paul wrote (still kept

in the British museum), exist today and is available for inspection
by the reader at website of "the reluctant messenger":
http://reluctant-messenger.com/epistle-laodiceans.htm

The first 4 verses are copied and inserted here.

1. Paul an Apostle, not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus
Christ, to the brethren which are at Laodicea. 2. Grace be to you,
and peace, from God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ. 3. I
thank Christ in every prayer of mine, that you may continue and
persevere in good works, looking for that which is promised in the
day of judgment. 4. Do not be troubled by the vain speeches of
anyone who perverts the truth, that they may draw you aside
from 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 the
letter to the church is aimed at causing further divide
between Lorber supporters and the rest of the body of
Christ, and is not the true letter to the church of Laodicea.
Many people get hurt in churches. We know there are still many
shortcomings and weaknesses within organized religion and it's
structures the way it is now. But Lorber finds a connection here, a
subtle bonding with the person that wants to disconnect from
what he considers to be "church". A place of belonging is found in
such a reader with Lorber, who received by the "inner voice" this
lost one of Paul's letter, where he harshly criticising the structure
of organised religion and it's temple buildings in his letter. The
reader is made to believe that it was because of the huge upset
this letter caused, that it was made to get "lost". None of this is
true however per any of the documented sources investigated.

Even though organized religion, the way it operates largely at

present, 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 to
maintain a position of offence. Offense and pride cultivates the
ground for deception to enter in, as it hardens the heart towards
the Spirit of the living God. When carefully examined, one will find
that slowly but surely among these mystic supporters a “us” and
“them” mentality are created. Ironically the people from Eastern
Religions are respected for their religious beliefs and trusted unto
God to bring them to salvation through the avenues set for their
spiritual development, but the rest of the body of Christ are seen
as opponents, wicked Pharisees, disillusioned fools, who cling so
hard to their bibles without allowing themselves to come to what
is perceived by them to be “true enlightenment”. Their “judge
not” philosophy thus applies mainly to Muslim, Eastern religions
and Atheists, but not really to the body of Christ, yet this double
mindedness are rarely noticed and conveniently dismissed. Refer
also to other discussions about judgment and the way God
requires of a believer to judge, in this same document.

Lorber points out, that God respects people’s free choices. God
gave the earth for us (mankind) to rule on, and unless we make a
habitation for Him to dwell, through alignment with the mind of
Christ, leading to true righteousness, the body of Christ, God’s
answer 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 Holy
Spirit 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 and

neo-revelationists, when tested against Scripture, it has to be
rejected as demonic and evil, even if the message preached has
an 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 anybody

preaches any other gospel than the gospel he brought to
the church, let him be accursed. He repeats this twice to
underline the importance. Even when a message from an
angel of light is preached, bringing "another" gospel,
Christians are required to depart from it. It is only the
blood of Jesus Christ that can bring atonement for sin. The
author is not dismissing that valid supernatural encounters
happens. They surely do. When an angel from heaven for example
brings a message in accordance with the gospel of Paul, it
may be received with thanksgiving, but always everything
should continuously be tested against Scripture. (See example
of such angelic visitation in: You Are Covered (Atonement)
http://www.angelsonassignment.org/atonement.html)

In this document it was disclosed how Christian mystics

relates closely to Freemasonry and also to the Illuminati
and how their work falls into place with the 21 goals of the
Illuminati. Also in this document, the evil and unbiblical
foundations in religious practice and doctrines preached
by Jakob Lorber, Swedenborg and other "New Revelation"
prophets were disclosed, proving how it can safely be
concluded that they are dangerous false prophets that
speaks from an occult spirit of divination and not from the
Holy Spirit.

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

of the firnament; and they shall turn many to righteousness as the
