Summary

On the mystery of Baptism, both the symbol and the essence, a beginning of a right, true Christian life.

John 5[:39], “Search Scripture, for you think you have life in it, and it is Scripture that testifies about me.”

I wish the pure fear of God, the beginning of divine wisdom, to all brothers and sisters in the Lord, who make up genuine Christendom, the community of God, the only spouse and bride of Christ, united by the movement of the holy spirit in the bond of love. And I wish grace and peace in the holy spirit to all who yearn for the rigorous justice of the crucified son of God with saddened hearts and depressed spirits, and to all those who wish to be fed by this justice. Amen.

Since the last and most dangerous age of this world is now upon us, we see — and realize with seeing eyes — how everything that the prophets, patriarchs, and apostles prophesied from the beginning and proclaimed for the future, is now coming about again and will be restored, as Peier prophesied to us in the Acts of the Apostles (Acts 3[:17–26]). The whole world — God have mercy on us — shows absolutely no judgment concerning this prophecy, especially those who teach other people and understand less about it than apes, although they want to be masters and teachers of Scripture.
