We are told that by day it was in a pillar of cloud and by night in a pillar of fire—and by His dividing the waters for their safety ... and many other things we can read in the Old Testament. In phenomena of cloud and fire, in the air, in the elemental events of nature He was active, but never once did it occur to the ancient Jews to say to themselves: That which appears in the pillar of cloud and in the pillar of fire, that which worked wonders such as the parting of the waters, appears also in its purest original form in the human soul. Why did this never occur to the ancient Jews? Because, owing to the course taken by human evolution, the soul of man had lost the power to feel its deepest being within itself. Thus the Jewish soul could look into nature; it could allow the glory of the phenomena of the elements to work upon it; everywhere it could divine the existence of its God and Lord; but directly within itself, as the Jewish soul then was, it could not find Him.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Lecture I","site_heading":"Christ's Presence in Human Soul Evolution","site_heading_note":"A heading the site wrote for this unit from a summary of it; not in the edition, and not the words of Rudolf Steiner or of the translator.

Man versteht sie eben so, wie man vieles in der Bibel versteht, nämlich eigentlich nicht, denn hinter dieser Stelle verbirgt sich ein gewaltiges Geheimnis. Dasjenige verbirgt sich an dieser Stelle, was uns da besagen will: Der, der den Moses führte, der dem Moses im brennenden Dornbusch erschien, der das Volk durch die Wüste führte, der Wasser aus dem Felsen herausfließen ließ, das war der Herr, Christus!

Warum war das den alten Juden niemals aufgegangen? Weil die Menschenseele die Kraft verloren hatte, ihr tiefstes Wesen in sich zu erfühlen, ihre Kraft verloren hatte durch den Hergang, den die Entwickelung der Menschheit genommen hatte. So konnte die Judenseele in die Natur schauen, sie konnte die Herrlichkeit der Elementarereignisse auf sich wirken lassen.
