OD phenomenons

| 1 | OT | smoking furnace + blazing torch | The first mention occurs in the story of Abraham. ‘When the sun had gone down, and it had turned completely dark, what passed between those pieces of meat was like a smoking furnace and a blazing torch.’ (Genesis 15:17) This happened while the Lord was speaking with Abraham. The odic current, when only slightly condensed, looks like a cloud of smoke and has a reddish-yellow gleam in the dark, like a flame of fire. | n |
| 2 | OT | thorn bush ablazed with fire | ‘And the angel of the Lord appeared to him as a flame of fire leaping up from a thorn bush: when he looked, he saw the thorn bush ablaze with fire, yet not being consumed by it.’ (Exodus 3: 2) In this case also it was od that the spirit employed in order to speak to Moses. It had to have been night when Moses saw this apparition, for in the daytime, the od would have looked, not like a flame, but like a cloudlet enfolding the thorn bush. | n |
| 3 | OT | column of cloud and fire | The Lord went before them, in a column of cloud by day, to show them the way, and in a column of fire by night, to shine for them, so that they might travel both by day and by night. Neither the column of cloud by day nor the column of fire by night ever left its place in front of the people.’ (Exodus 13: 21-22) The column of cloud was nothing else than the cloud of od, which, both in the case of the thorn bush and in guiding the Israelites, formed the odic shell that surrounded the angel of the Lord and that the angel needed to make itself perceptible to man. I have already explained to you that od is always associated with a spirit. | d+n |
| 4 | OT | column of cloud and fire | ‘As soon as Moses entered the tent, the “column of cloud” would come down and stand at the entrance of the tent, as long as the Lord was speaking to Moses.’ (Exodus 33: 9) ‘Then Moses called together seventy men from among the elders of the people, and had them stand all around the tent. And the Lord came down in a cloud, and spoke to him.’ (Numbers 11: 24-25) | d |
| 5 | OT | smoking furnace (heavy current) | “On Mount Sinai, when the Lord wanted to speak with Moses in tones loud enough for all the people to hear, He said to Moses: ‘This time I will make the cloud thicker yet, so that all the people may hear me speaking to you and believe you forever.’ (Exodus 19: 9) This indicates expressly that the cloud of od was necessary to enable the Lord to speak to man. It also indicates plainly that the denser the od the louder the sounds produced by means of the odic force. Much the same is true of your radio. The stronger the power current, the stronger the sound transmitted. “When, therefore, the Lord appeared upon mount Sinai amid a mighty blare of trumpets, the odic force had to be correspondingly strong. Hence we are told: ‘And the mount of Sinai was completely wrapped in smoke, as the Lord had descended upon it in fire; the smoke rose like smoke fom a smelting furnace, and the whole mountain quaked. And the sound of the trumpets became louder and louder. Moses spoke and the Lord answered him in a loud voice.’ (Exodus 19: 18-19) | d |
| 6 | NT | prohibition of touching | After this explanation you will also understand why Christ, immediately after his resurrection, forbade Mary Magdalene to touch him. The materialization of his spirit was then only beginning, and Mary Magdalene, by touching him, would not only have prevented any further progress of the process of materialization, but would have destroyed what had already taken effect. The explanation given in the Bible as the reason for Christ’s refusal to let her touch him was added later by an ignorant copyist who inserted the words: ‘I have not yet ascended to the Father.’ (John 20: 17) That this could not have been the true reason for refusing to let Mary Magdalene touch his materialized odic body is evident from the fact that, somewhat later, Christ expressly invited his apostles to touch him, although at the time he had also not yet ascended to the Father. But the materialization of his body was then complete, and therefore any contact with him could not cause bodily harm to his disciples or interfere with the materialization. | d |
| 7 | NT | voice and visibility from odic cloud | In the transfiguration on Mount Tabor, ‘a cloud came and overshadowed them, and a voice called from inside the cloud’. (Matthew 17: 5) Thus, the cloud of od was necessary here also, in order to produce a voice that could be heard by human ears. The same cloud was used by Moses and Elijah to make themselves visible in bodies of condensed od to the three apostles present. | d |
| 8 | NT | dissolution in odic cloud | It was in a figure of materialized od that Christ appeared after his Resurrection and in which he stood before his disciples on Ascension Day. They saw his odic body dissolve into a cloud of od before their eyes, and when the cloud itself had become invisible by further dissolution, Christ had disappeared from their sight. The general belief that it was an ordinary cloud in the sky that hid Christ from his disciples is utterly wrong. | d |
| 9 | NT | tongues of fire over the apostles | At Pentecost there appeared above the heads of the Apostles and of those who were with them ‘tongues of fire’. These were little flames of od, like the flame seen in the thorn bush, ‘that came to rest on the head of each’. Each one received a spirit of God in such a shell of od. These spirits, with the aid of odic power, began to speak through their human instruments – one in this, one in another foreign language – in as many foreign tongues as there were different nations represented among their hearers. From the circumstance that the tongues of od looked like little flames we see that it was night when God’s spirits descended. The actual time of the pouring out of the spirit was by your method of reckoning 1:30 in the morning. | d |
| 10 | NT | evil spirits | A passage from Revelation will show you that the evil spirit world is equally bound by the laws governing odic phenomena. ‘And I saw a star that had fallen from heaven to earth; it was given the key to the mouth of the abyss. It opened the mouth of the abyss; and smoke poured out of the mouth, like the smoke of a huge furnace, till the sun and the air were darkened by the smoke from the pit. And out of the smoke came locusts onto the earth.’ (Revelation 9: 1-3) The text continues, describing how at God’s behest and as a punishment to man, the evil spirits materialized themselves with the aid of the odic force into locusts that, however, had human faces. I cite the foregoing passage only because it expressly mentions the ‘clouds of od’ that were indispensable for the materialization of these evil spirits. | – |
