The Moon-light represented in the Old Testament the Jahve or Jehovah power. This power was conceived as a *reflected* power, and the Initiates—though not of course the orthodox Rabbis of the Old Testament—knew: The Messiah, the Christ will come, and He will be the *direct* Sun-light. Jahve is only His advance reflection. Jahve *is* the Sun-light, but not the *direct* Sun-light.

Und wenn im Orient heute noch, allerdings in der Dekadenz, aber früher in der Blüte der alten orientalischen Weisheit, ein Atmungsbewußtsein gesucht wurde, so war es das Bedürfnis, hinüberzuschlüpfen in diese andere Welt, die sich sonst nur ankündigt durch dasjenige, möchte ich sagen, was der Mond in unserer Welt will. Aber man hat auch in anderer Beziehung auf diese innere Gesetzmäßigkeit wohl hinzuweisen gewußt in den Zeiten, in denen es noch eine, in anderer Art, als wir sie suchen müssen, zum Menschen gekommene Urweisheit gab. Im Alten Testamente gebrauchte man bei den Eingeweihten, die diese Dinge wußten, immer ein Bild, das Sie ja auch in einer gewissen Weise - ich habe auch darauf schon einmal früher aufmerksam gemacht - in den Evangelien finden, man brauchte das Bild von dem Mondenlichte im Verhältnis zum Sonnenlichte. Es ist ja so, nicht wahr, daß man das Mondenlicht ansieht als in gewisser Beziehung nur Sonnenlicht zurückstrahlend. (Tafel 8, unten, rot; der kleine Kreis links blau). Jetzt spreche ich im Sinne der Physik - ich werde ja wohl auch davon noch zu sprechen haben, daß diese Ausdrücke sehr wenig genau sind -, wir sprechen im Sinne der Physik, denn sie lag ja auch den Vorstellungen zugrunde, die da waren. Dieses Mondenlicht das galt im Alten Testament als der Repräsentant der Jahve-Kraft. Die Jahve-Kraft stellte man sich vor als zurückgeworfene Kraft, und die Eingeweihten, natürlich nicht die orthodoxen Rabbiner des Alten Testaments, aber die Eingeweihten sagten: Der Messias, der Christus wird kommen, der wird das direkte Sonnenlicht sein, Jahve ist bloß die vorhergehende Reflexion. Das ist dasselbe, aber es ist nicht das direkte Sonnenlicht. — Es ist natürlich, daß jetzt nicht das physische Sonnenlicht gedacht werden darf, sondern das Spirituelle dabei in Betracht kommt.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":307,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/201/1920-04-16/p026"}],"english":["GA 201/1920-04-16/p032","GA 201/1920-04-16/p033","GA 201/1920-04-16/p034"],"method":"length","confidence":"medium","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":307,"en_words":272,"ratio":0.89,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.0,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":5456,"original_word_count":5443,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"George and Mary Adams","identified_edition":"RSP1972","book_title":"Man: Hieroglyph of the Universe","publisher":"Rudolf Steiner Press","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA201/English/RSP1972/19200416p01.html","evidence":"lecture_page_line","publisher_note":"The publisher is inferred from the edition code in this lecture's source URL, not stated by the source page.
