“You misunderstood me that I want to avoid arguments against my vision as the savior of Israel. On the contrary, I believe that disproved arguments serve to clarify my vocation as do dreams and visions. I have no illusions that I will encounter an abundance of hostility after my website has appeared. I’m not afraid of that. I am afraid that I might stop because of something and free myself from Heavenly Father.
I remember an exchange of ideas with Sister Katharina von Reichenschwand. This had vividly confirmed to me that I would one day have a deep discussion with you. You ask me whether the promise of Reichenschwand has not been fulfilled enough. My pastor asked me the same question several times when I spoke of the promised, unimaginably large and beautiful miracles that I expect from the promise. It is true that I have already experienced countless miracles, starting with the house that God gave us in a situation that was not easy for us. Also the dreams and visions speaking to me; the Hebrew ones in particular are miracles for me. However, all previous miracles are quite conceivable based on the Bible. I don’t want to overrate them. I see myself as an ‘ordinary’ person, and it is my sincere request to God to make me obedient and humble in my unimaginably great calling.
You speak to the false prophets in Jeremiah 23. Do I understand correctly that you see me as such? Verse 11 says that even prophets and priests can be ‘chanufu’. That is the past participle in the majority of ‘chanaf’, which is translated as follows in the dictionary: ‘Desecrated by godlessness / idolatry’. “Even in My (God’s) house I found your ‘raatam'”. ‘Raatam’ is derived from ‘raa’, which according to the dictionary can have the following meanings: evil, evil, suffering, misfortune, destruction, malice. With a clear conscience, I don’t have to count myself among such people. On the other hand, for me it is a ‘stand up’ that Jeremiah 23 also speaks of the coming Messiah. The Schlachter Bible 2000 translates verses 5-8 as follows:
5 Behold, days are coming, says the Lord, and I will raise up a righteous sprout to David; he will rule and act wisely as king and create justice and righteousness on earth.
This verse has been partially fulfilled with Jesus Christ. The fulfillment of verses 6-8 is still pending:
6 “In His days Judah will be saved,
And Israel will dwell securely;
And this is His name by which He will be called,
‘The Lord our righteousness.’7 “Therefore behold, the days are coming,” declares the Lord, “when they will no longer say, ‘As the Lord lives, who brought up the sons of Israel from the land of Egypt,’ 8 but, ‘As the Lord lives, who brought up and led back the descendants of the household of Israel from the north land and from all the countries where I had driven them.’ Then they will live on their own soil.”
However, it takes incredibly great and beautiful miracles to fulfill verses 6-8! In verse 5 the name of the sprout speaks to me particularly: ‘The LORD (JAHWEH) is our righteousness (tzidkenu)’. The following two experiences particularly impressed me in this regard:
1. Experience:
At the end of my mid-life crisis in 1990, after I had already set up my trust office, my wife recommended the ‘Landhaus Exodus, Aadorf’ to me because I felt quite depressed. It was a private clinic for mental health issues, led by a Christian doctor and a ‘charismatic’ administrative director. The latter also gave the patient ‘hours’. In such an hour he formulated with inspiration: ‘Everything is good for the righteous!’ When I asked him how his statement was to be biblically justified, he could not give me an answer. I later discovered the biblical reference in Psalm 1, verses 1-3:1 Blessed is he who does not walk according to the advice of the godless
the sinners are still on the way,
still sits where the mockers sit,2 but his delight is in the law of the LORD
and contemplates his law day and night.3 It’s like a tree, planted on streams of water,
that bears its fruit in its time,
and its leaves do not wither,
and everything he does is well. (Schlachter Bible 2000) - 2. Experience:
After I received the call to the Jews from Brother Yun in spring 2005, I was baptized by the head of the Swiss delegation in the Sea of Galilee on the occasion of the Christian Tabernacle Festival of the ‘International Christian Embassy’.As a baptism I got Psalm 92, verses 13-15:13 The righteous (tzadik) will sprout like a palm tree,
it will grow like a cedar tree in Lebanon.14 They are planted in the house of the LORD,
they will thrive in the courts of our God;15 they bear fruit when they are old,
are juicy and fresh,(Translated from Schlachter Bible 2000)You are expecting HIM, the God Jesus! Do I understand correctly? Now I ask you, brother-in-law, but as I asked my sister: What do you think and believe about the testimony of Jesus in Matthew 24 verse 27? Because as lightning strikes from the east and shines to the west, so will the return of the Son of Man. (Schlachter Bible 2000) How do you imagine this son of man specifically? I’m looking forward to your honest answer.So, as I said, I’m not afraid of the argument and I’m looking forward to staying in touch with you.According to your email from Saturday, it is now Tuesday morning at 2 a.m. I’ve been awake for 0 h 15. As so often, sleep flees me because my calling is so close to me. Today’s internal lot from Hosea 12.7 reads: “weata be’lohim taschuw! chessed umischpat sch’mor! wekawe el-eloheicha tamid! My translation: ‘But you, you should convert to your God! Protect grace and justice! So hope for your god! Always!’Since I wrote down the slogans in 1999, this verse has been drawn four times; among other dates also for August 12, 2007. That was shortly before I said goodbye to my relatives and friends, to Jerusalem. Back then I had written down in brackets: ‘My message to the people of God ?!’ I also selected the lot because it appeared in Reichenschwand exactly 27 years after the promise:“If you trust in me and place your hand in mine and allow me to guide you, you will transcend the boundaries with me into a new land that you have never known and whose miracles are so great that the most beautiful thing you can imagine merely a shadow is in comparison. But make sure you do not get left behind when I want to go further with you”
You speak to the false prophets in Jeremiah 23. Do I understand correctly that you see me as such? Verse 11 says that even prophets and priests can be ‘chanufu’. That is the past participle in the majority of ‘chanaf’, which is translated as follows in the dictionary: ‘Desecrated by godlessness / idolatry’. “Even in My (God’s) house I found your ‘raatam'”. ‘Raatam’ is derived from ‘raa’, which according to the dictionary can have the following meanings: evil, evil, suffering, misfortune, destruction, malice. With a clear conscience, I don’t have to count myself among such people. On the other hand, for me it is a ‘stand up’ that Jeremiah 23 also speaks of the coming Messiah. The New American Standard Bible (NASB) translates verses 5-8 as follows:
5 “Behold, the days are coming,” declares the Lord,
“When I will raise up for David a righteous [a]Branch;
And He will reign as king and [b]act wisely
And do justice and righteousness in the land.
