The Word of God[1] at the Feast of the Saint Stephen, martyr and archdeacon

                                                                          (Translated by I.A.)

The New Birth through holiness fulfills the Scripture of the new man and of the renewal of the world. The Lord orders food as in Eden for His last disciples

The carol of the new people have sounded into the heaven, but here, the heaven also sings carols to My new earth, to My New Jerusalem, tiny and new, and to My manger, Jerusalem, as I have My manger into your midst, and the carol singers come to the manger.

My peace is with you, children of Jerusalem. Peace to you! In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, the heaven joins the earth for the work of word. I have celebrated a feast of birth for three days.

Today we are celebrating the synod of a young man, sons, as young as My young men from Jerusalem, who started to go to My manger with the carols of the birth. Stephen, the martyr, the first martyr after My resurrection from the dead, comes to sing carols with the martyrs of My name and to worship My manger, as I have a manger dwelling into the midst of Jerusalem; I have a holy cowshed, included in the middle of the bad weather, which My people, Jerusalem, was born in. (See selection topic: „Romania – The New Jerusalem – The New Canaan[2]”, r.n.)

Jerusalem son, I gave you birth within a bad time, very bad, son of today; a time of great tribulation among the times of the sky, but I gave you birth. (The time of the Ceauşescu’s communist dictatorship, r.n.). But I gave you birth and grew you up, Jerusalem, and some of your sons took their share and left to spend it with the foreigners, and they have never come back to their cowshed, and behold, the cowshed has its boundary fixed and My people is marked and sealed, and I put it to grind so that we may prepared food and a new meal. I am sorry for the sons that left losing the wealth from Me, and behold; now they are empty-handed and with their arms full of wind and the wind tosses them from one side to another, as Jerusalem was their country. He, who deceived Me, who left Me, who lied to Me, who blasphemed Me, who defiled Me and put a name of shame on Me, that one should leave; he should fall down from this mountain, as it is not a laughing matter within God’s word, which comes from heaven and works with heavenly mastery by the saints and angels and by God, Who is ministered by the saints and angels, as it is written about the prayers of the saints who stay before Me.

Stephen, the youngster, took a group of martyrs and came to Me so that we may go and bring carol songs to My manger. Oh, Israel, you do not know, My people, what the heaven is doing for you. Oh, living Jerusalem, you do not know what stature you have in heaven; you do not know and you did not believe Me when I told you, as I always told you, but you closed your heart and mind so that you may not know. Behold, the youngsters from Israel, (From the people around the area of monastery, r.n.), who started singing carols at My manger, these children aroused the zeal of the heaven, the zeal of the youngsters of the heaven, and of the martyrs of My name, and we come singing carols at the manger. Well sons, who went carol singing at My manger then? The little angels from heaven sang and the little shepherds on the earth heard them. The little shepherds saw the angels; they saw the heavenly suite and came to find the Child sleeping in the manger, as the announcement of the little angels was upon them. The little angels spoke with the little shepherds and they told them about Me that I was born and that I was lying down in the manger. It is not that the rich man did not receive Me to be born into their house; no sons. I did not like to come into empty palaces; I did not like something like this. I needed a clean place and it was dirty in the houses, sons; it was world; it was immorality. The man does not know God’s language, and there is no one to understand anything, but the creation knows God’s language; the animals and the birds know God’s language. I was not fond of soft beds and coverings. I liked to come into the midst of creation; I liked to come to be received by the straw and by the cattle’s warm soul, which breathed upon Me to warm up My godly body. I sent the little angels before the little shepherds on the mountain, into the midst of creation, and they sang carols to the little shepherds, the great news of the ages. What did the little angels sing, sons? What kind of carol did they sing in the night of My birth? Behold, the heaven joins that carol singing with the carol singing from now, and it joins and completes the carol singing from then with the one from now:  Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace and good will toward the people! Amen. Glory to the manger of the word; glory to the Word from the manger, and peace upon the manger, as I do not like palaces and human ornaments! Glory to the white little stone, as this little stone from the midst of this little garden is a heavenly ornament; it is My word, as this little stone was built by the word and it was made out by the sons of the word; and it is not a fairy-tale and rather it is true, sons, as I turned into truth and faith the fairy-tale that I have always told you since I came to you. He, who believed, now sees and believes, and he, who did not believe, does not see and does not believe and does not understand if he sees, since he has not believed by now.

The Jews get angry with you and try to tear you down and throw stones at you when they see the brightness, when they see My brightness with you. The Church (The Romanian Orthodox Church, r.n.) has been for you a guide to My work, to My word, which has accompanied and surrounded you; it has been a guide as long as it has not known that you have the spring of My word and that you have Me with you by the word. But since it found Me with you, then it got up over you and it was seen what was under the garment on top of the church of the world. It happened with you as with Stephen, sons, for when he got up to clear up the perplexity of the Jews, who were wondering about who Christ was, then the Jews were filled up with indignation and with great shame when they saw Me shining on Stephen’s countenance, as it is written: «And his face had a shine of an angel». This is how you should also shine in the midst of My word, which uncovers the immorality and unfaith of the people of the church. Well children, Stephen, breathed his last at the peak of happiness, as he gave up his soul for Me, and he gave it to Me; however, he did not feel the chill of the death, as he had My name on his lips and into his heart, he had Me with the testimony of the One without death, because he loved Me more than himself, more than his life, and he came to Me and near Me, and the first church of that time called him the first martyr of Jesus Christ. But there were other martyrs of My name, before Stephen. It was Zechariah, My relative from the temple, a relative from My Virgin mother; there were the children murdered for My name; there was the blind man who was healed and whom Saul murdered in his zeal for the law; there were so many Christians who were murdered by the rulers of the temple, because they saw them healed or because they followed Me and believed in Me; there was John, My godfather, and Stephen, who was martyred after My resurrection, the first martyr after My resurrection. And here where they are; as I come with them at My manger and sing the angel’s carol and heavenly wish upon Jerusalem; and thanks for the youngsters’ carol singing in Jerusalem.

 The heaven wept for joy at the carol singing of those from Jerusalem and My watchmen from the manger rejoiced with My joy in them. Little brothers, two by two, and three by three, blushed by frost from road. Little brother with little sister, little sister with little brother, oh, how beautiful is this! This is how they were, sons and My apostles; pairs of little brothers and kinship, as I was a relative after My mother and after Joseph, who protected Me, to Zechariah, to John, My godfather, and to My apostles and My disciples. This is how I have worked today too. And then a Judas was found; a Judas was found now as well, as I am the same, sons, and where I am, Judas is also there. But where I am, My disciples are also there, and I have a great joy, extremely great, as I see children arisen on the way, who took over the helm from their parents. I weep for this joy and I pray to My Father and for you, Jerusalem; I pray for these of today and breathe the Holy Spirit upon them and I clothe them again with My hidden word.  

Oh, beautiful children, as beautiful as My beloved and dear Daniel was! Daniel was beautiful and did not want to eat from the food of the king of this age, and he was handsome eating seeds and vegetables, as the seed sprouts and yields a beautiful and young fruit. He, who eats food with meat, is not as beautiful as Daniel. He, who eats vegetables from the seeds, and seeds from the vegetables and from fruits, is as beautiful as Daniel, and like his three friends, who loved God and loved the cleanness of their body. (See selection topic: „What defiles a man, what enters or what comes out of him?[3]”, r.n.) You should be beautiful and healthy, sons, carol singers, sons from Jerusalem. Be clean, as the souls and the bodies of the young men of the world are dirty and filthy, ugly and sold to the lusts of the dissolute spirit of Baal, who learn to sing and dance at the trumpet sound of Baal. Be good into your mind and heart and be united with Me and in Me, as I was also young and I did not grow old. I was young and I was tempted by the things of this age, and I left for wilderness and had stayed hungry for forty days and forty nights to prepare My godly outcome before the passion. And the spirit of this age followed Me and tested Me on the moment I was hungry, after forty days, and he wanted to test My steadfastness and he showed to Me the face of the world to
