23. Chapter – Matthew 23:24
You blind leaders, who strain out a gnat and swallowing a camel!

Written down through Jacob Lorber on the 27.01.1844

1. You blind leaders, who strain out a gnat and swallowing a camel!

2. Now this is another verse that fits at all times, and its meaning can be grasped very easily with your hands, just like it is the case with others.

3. Who are these blind leaders? – These are the so-called nitpickers and literalists of the law. They clean and blare all day long; the great mistakes however, which the entire salvation and life of man depends on, they often don’t know, and if they know about them, they close their eyes out of political reasons, as if they would mean nothing.

4. To make this as clear as possible, I will give you only a few examples! We want to start with the small ones and work our way up to the big ones, or from the exceptional to the general.

5. Lets look into a family, a single household! The father has children of both genders. In a wealthier house, the boys are encouraged to diligently study, and the girls also have different masters. They learn some foreign language, drawing, music, and next to that, some other delicate female tasks.

6. The sons are encouraged to study diligently. They must be excellent, otherwise, severe hours will follow. Every neglect will be sharply reproved, and punishments are not absent. In the same way, the so-called prosperity rules are strictly managed, and woe to the boy who carelessly sins against them! And daily, the father, the instructor and the teacher punish him.

7. One will ask… ‘Is that wrong?’ – I’ll only say this… Here are also the gnats strained out, but the camel is swallowed up unnoticed!

8. But what is the camel here? – The camel is the studying itself, and the polished worldly transformation of a young person. Through this swallowed camel, the young person loses the very last drop of what could have awakened the spirit life within him, and by that he is thrown deep into the world.

9. It’s the same with the girls! The strict mother talks almost all day until she has a knot in her tongue; because one daughter has made a stitch too long, and with the other one, a stain has been discovered, and the third daughter wasn’t good enough in one subject or the other, and another does not have her hair in order. In short, every little misstep and every almost unnoticeable mistake is more often than not bitterly rebuked, the whole day is full of correcting, punishing and spurring.

10. Look, here again, gnats are filtered. But the fact, that the girls – through this whole worldly furbelows – are killed for any inner, spiritual life… That is the camel, which is swallowed up without qualms.

11. I mean, nothing must be added to this example, for it is absolutely clear in itself. Now, lets look at a more general example…
