Like the child in the mother's womb, all that was brought by Jesus-Christ had been slowly matured in the followers of the Old Testament through the ancient Mysteries. On the other hand what had been prepared in the followers of the Old Testament among the ancient Jewish peoples had grown to maturity among the ancient Egyptians. Among them were highly developed initiates who knew what was to come upon the earth. We shall now learn how the Egyptians, who were the third sub-race of the post-Atlantean root-race, developed by degrees the complete impulse of the “I AM,” and how they furnished, like the mother's womb, the outer structure for this “I AM,” but did not go far enough to give birth to the Christ Principle. Then we shall learn how at last the ancient Hebrew peoples separated from them.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"VI.

Was durch den Christus Jesus gebracht wird, mußte — wie im Mutterschoße das Kind - langsam heranreifen in den alten Mysterien, in den Bekennern des Alten Testamentes. Und das, was da vorbereitet wurde in den Bekennern des Alten Testamentes, im alten jüdischen Volk, das reifte wiederum heran bei den alten Ägyptern. Und die Ägypter hatten tiefe Eingeweihte, die da wußten, was da kommen sollte auf Erden. Wir werden hören, wie bei den Ägyptern, die die dritte Unterrasse der nachatlantischen Rasse waren, sich nach und nach der volle Impuls des Ich-bin ausbildete, wie sie gleichsam den Mutterschoß, das äußere Gefüge zu dem Ich-bin hergaben, aber nicht so weit kamen, daß aus ihnen heraus das Christus-Prinzip geboren werden konnte; wie dann endlich aus ihnen sich loslöste das alte hebräische Volk. Es wird uns dargestellt, wie Moses innerhalb der Ägypter ausersehen wird, der Vorherverkünder des Gottes zu sein, der das verkörperte «Ich-bin » ist. Er sollte es denen, die etwas davon verstehen konnten, vorher verkünden. Er sollte verkünden, daß der Spruch «Ich und der Vater Abraham sind eins» ersetzt wird durch den anderen: «Ich und der Vater sind eins!», das heißt: Ich und der geistige Urgrund der Welt sind unmittelbar eins. In ihrer Mehrzahl sah die Bekennerschaft des Alten Testamentes auf die Gruppenseele des Volkes hin, und der einzelne fühlte sich wie in einem Göttlichen geborgen in dieser Gruppenseele. Aber vorherverkündet wurde durch Moses, als einen im alten Sinne Eingeweihten, daß der Christus kommen werde, mit anderen Worten, daß es ein Gottesprinzip gibt, das höher ist als das durch die Generationen hinunterrinnende Blutsprinzip. Zwar wirkt der Gott im Blute seit Abraham, aber das ist nur die äußere Offenbarung des geistigen Vaters, dieser Blutsvater.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":296,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/103/1908-05-25/p034"}],"english":["GA 103/1908-05-25/p027","GA 103/1908-05-25/p028"],"method":"length+anchor_constrained","confidence":"medium","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":296,"en_words":327,"ratio":1.1,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.09,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":5739,"original_word_count":5264,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Maud B.
