Yahweh reveals himself in the burning bush on Sinai. “Then Yahweh spoke to Moses: ‘I am the I am.’ And he spoke: ‘You should say to the sons of Israel: ‘The I am has sent me to you!’” (Exodus 3:13) With these words the people were told: The I am has sent me to you! Yahweh is the unpronounceable name of God. The name “I” can never be spoken to a human being from outside. It is the intimate name of God that human beings are only permitted to receive, sanctified in their hearts. It was written on the altar of the tabernacle. Therefore, we read: “To him who overcomes I will give some of the hidden manna and I will give him a white stone with a new name written on the white stone ... (Rev. 2:17) Those who received the I learned through an inner power of the spirit to recognize the name with the hidden manna. Through the fact that Christ revealed himself in a physical body on the earth, human beings are to learn not to disdain the earth like the ascetics, but to recognize that this earth has something to give them. And so, the thirst for existence should not be extinguished but we should purify our desires. The westerner should say: “Here work is done; here hands are in motion and what is achieved here is taken through the gate of death.” It is not our intention to tell of miracles but, through legends, to come to realize what humanity has been given as wisdom.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":287,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/104a/1909-05-13/p021","witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"James H.

Die orientalische Lehre hat immer vorausverkündet den Christus, auch in ihren Legenden. Weil wir hier im vierten Zeitraum lernen, wie das Irdisch-Physische unmittelbar übergeht in die geistige Welt, wird uns das dargestellt dadurch, daß uns erzählt wird, er hätte «Augen wie eine Feuerflamme» (Apk. 1, 14), und es wird uns gesagt: «seine Füße sind gleich wie im Feuer geglühtes Erz» (Apk. 1, 15); und später heißt es: «Und alle Gemeinden sollen erkennen, daß Ich es bin, der Nieren und Herzen erforscht...» (Apk. 2, 23) Da wird uns gesagt, daß es der Christus ist, der uns das «Ich bin» bringt.
