MMMMmMGod is a true God, a loving Father who has never failed to reveal His will to mankind
This most comprehensive of revelations was received by the Styrian mystic and seer Jakob Lorber through the Inner Word. Born at Kanischa (Austria) on July 22, 1800 as the son of a winegrower who was in his spare time the leader of a popular band, Jakob Lorber grew up in a poor rural environment, but in a family that was deeply religious and dedicated to music. From his father, Jakob inherited a musical talent and he early learned to play the violin, piano and organ. This helped him later to pay for his education, first in Marburg and then in Graz, the Styrian capital, where in 1829 he obtained his diploma as a teacher for intermediate schools. But when he could not find a suitable position, he went back to his particular love, music. He gave lessons in singing and the violin, composed and sometimes gave concerts. During the years that he was devoted to music, Lorber also deepened his spiritual understanding, diligently studying the Bible.
When he was 40 years old, Lorber was offered - and accepted - a conductorship with the theater in Trieste, a position that would give him the long hoped-for recognition and material security. But it was not to be. Shortly before his departure for Trieste, on the morning of March 15, 1840, Lorber heard a clear voice in the region of his heart telling him: “Arise, take your pen and write!”
Lorber obeyed this mysterious call and began to write down what the voice dictated to him. It was the start of a first book “The Household of God”: “He who wants to talk with Me, let him come to Me and I will lay the answer in his heart. But only the pure, whose heart is full of humility, shall hear the sound of My voice.”
When Lorber realized who the Author was, he did not hesitate to renounce the offered material security and served the Lord as His “scribe” to the end of his days. Lorber did not experience any states of ecstasy, nor was he a medium for automatic writing whose hand is guided by a spirit-entity. Fully awake he heard the voice and wrote down what he heard.
At the time of his calling, this simple man never suspected that the task he was given would keep him busy for 24 years. He rarely interrupted his work and wrote almost daily for several hours, obediently recording what the voice in his heart dictated to him, without correcting even a single line, as the manuscripts show.
The total work is contained in 25 volumes of almost 500 pages each, not to mention a number of shorter writings. They present an amazing knowledge and detailed facts on subjects of the childhood and adulthood of Jesus, true Christianity, the purpose of life and creation, the beyond, prophecy, cosmology, astronomy, biology, natural science, nutrition, psychology, history…
The greatest and best known work, written during the years 1851 to 1864, is the Great Gospel of John in 11 volumes. This was written in German but is now being translated in English in 25 volumes. It begins with an explanation of the Biblical gospel according to John and then gives a detailed account of the 3 teaching years of Jesus, revealing to a spiritually matured humanity many secrets of creation and divine guidance. All this revealed by our Lord Jesus Himself!
The literature will speak for itself to the reader with an open mind, who had the honest desire to learn the truth, possesses humility and perseverance in his studies. Here the truth seeker finds answers to all the questions that forever puzzled mankind. He sees unfold the great panorama of creation and God’s plan with mankind, begins to understand the purpose of man's existence on Earth, of life and death, of God's love and guidance. But only humility and the approach with a pure heart and good will opens the door to the understanding of spiritual things.
Many ask the question: “If it is written at the end of the Bible that no one has the right to add anything to what is written in the Bible, how then can we attach any importance to additional books?” The answer is that God indeed forbids men to add anything to His Word. However, it is obvious that God did not restrict Himself to give mankind additional truth. And this is precisely what He has done throughout history. But God says: “My Word has never been popular”. Indeed, only few want to and can recognize God’s voice.
