Pascal Voggenhuber - The young spirit messenger

However, let’s look at other places where bodily death could not be meant because it wouldn’t make any sense. Just so we can see that most of the time, when the Bible speaks about “death,” “the dead” or a “dead person,” people are meant, and spirits respectively, who have fallen away from God and His healing order, in other words, the “spiritual dead.” Let’s begin with Adam and Eve and the Fall in paradise, which didn’t lead to physical death but rather suffering from spiritual death. They crossed over to the side of the “serpent,” which symbolizes Satan, who thus represents evil. In paradise God spoke to Adam (Genesis 2:16b,17) saying, “You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; 17 but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat from it you will certainly die.” Here is it very clear that bodily death is not what was meant. Why, then, shouldn’t many of the other Bible verses not refer to “spiritual death”?

Let’s look at a few more examples. Luke 9:60: “60 Jesus said to him, ‘Let the dead bury their own dead, but you go and proclaim the kingdom of God.’” I believe here it is apparent to everyone that Jesus meant not the physically dead, but those separated from God, who should bury the physically dead. Those who are separated from God should bury their physically dead, only then would the proclamation of the kingdom of God make any sense. Or it could, or course, also mean that the spiritually dead should attend to the spiritually dead, and that those who walk with God shouldn’t let themselves be hindered by the spiritually dead. However, physical death is certainly not what is meant here.

Here are some further passages. John 5:25: “25 Very truly I tell you, a time is coming and has now come when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God and those who hear will live.” Ephesians 5:13–14: 13 But everything exposed by the light becomes visible – and everything that is illuminated becomes a light. 14 This is why it is said: ‘Wake up, sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.’” Revelation 1:17b-18:“Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last. 18 I am the Living One; I was dead, and now look, I am alive for ever and ever! And I hold the keys of death and Hades.”

From the writings of Jakob Lorbers: “Jesus: ‘ Death, in and of itself, is only that from which the ability to move freely against My order within its evil order has been wellintentionally removed. And death itself is thus nothing more than a persistence in all that is against My order.’” Romans 6:16, 21–23: 16 Don’t you know that when you offer yourselves to someone as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one you obey – whether you are slaves to sin, which leads to death, or to obedience, which leads to righteousness? 21 What benefit did you reap at that time from the things you are now ashamed of? Those things result in death! 22 But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves of God, the benefit you reap leads to holiness, and the result is eternal life. 23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in[b] Christ Jesus our Lord.” Ephesians 2:1:“As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins,…” Jakob Lorber: “Jesus: ‘It is not just meant under the dead those departed from the world, rather it means predominately those still living in the world, whose hearts are dead and who have neither faith nor love and are thus indeed dead.’” So here is one last verse which, I believe, beautifully expresses this: Deuteronomy 30:19–20: “19 This day I call the heavens and the earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live 20 and that you may love the LORD your God, listen to his voice, and hold fast to him. For the LORD is your life, and he will give you many years in the land he swore to give to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.”

It is not bodily life and bodily death that the Bible means, rather spiritual life that lasts as long as one believes in God, and spiritual death that takes immediate effect as soon as one abandons God and separates from him. Those who keep God’s laws will preserve their life; those who despise God’s word will die.

I don’t want to offend anyone with this chapter; I only want to take away the fear in case you think you’re doing something sinful. For a long time the stories in the Bible were only orally transmitted. The Old Testament was written down in Hebrew and recorded in a language that was no longer spoken at the time of the translations, so definitely mistakes also crept in, and then the Bible was translated many times over. Surely certain things were unintentionally left out, and later much more was intentionally omitted, for example, the interesting subject of reincarnation. Today it is well-known that reincarnation was actually part of Christian beliefs. The writings of the early theologian Origen (185–254) were proved to have been tampered with, and a large portion of them were even burned. However, I don’t want to pursue this here. In this chapter, I only want to show that you don’t have to be afraid of God’s punishment, because many parts of the Bible are misunderstood, when it comes to contact with the afterlife.

In addition, there is also the prophet Isaiah, whose book is part of the Old Testament and who gave a detailed clairvoyant prophecy approximately 700 years before Jesus’ birth. In Isaiah 7:14: “14 Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel.” In the Old Testament we find many accounts of prophets who had made very astonishing prophecies. For example, regarding the birth of Jesus Christ, Jesus himself often spoke appreciatively of the prophets; one example being in the Sermon on the Mount, Matthew 5:17: “17 Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.”

Likewise, prophecies regarding the future Buddha can be found in Buddhist writings. Also the last and greatest prophet of Islam was in contact with the spiritual world. At age 40 Mohammed received the first revelation of God while meditating, and it came through Archangel Gabriel. This was followed by further revelations for 23 years which constitute the core of Islam. Here I’d like to add a saying from Mohammed that makes his attitude toward clairvoyants clear: “Don’t believe in clairvoyants, but don’t avoid them either.” Not all prophets who followed created new religions. However, with their works and wisdom they have inspired many people and are still studied today.

To end this chapter, I’d like to also discuss some wellknown people who have been inspired by the spiritual world. They have had nowhere near the impact and influence of those such as Jesus, Mohammed, or Buddha, and in no way would I put them on the same level. A “prophetic medium” is a medium that is used by the spiritual world to deliver God’s message. But that is the function of only very few mediums, because only the fewest are so highly developed that they can fulfill this task. However many people are inspired by the spiritual world, be it in music, research, poetry, pearls of wisdom, or also wisdom teachings. I’d like to mention a few names of people here who, I am thoroughly convinced, were guided by the spiritual world, some consciously and others unconsciously.

Certainly one of the best known clairvoyants is Nostradamus, who was born in 1503 and wrote 942 prophetic quatrains, which are still being interpreted today. In the case of many of these quatrains, it would be impossible to attribute them to “coincidence,” also when the quatrains were partially written in a very heavily coded manner.
