Throughout the intervening time since the age of Alexander, the six other Archangels would have fulfilled their several dominions. Now a new Michael Age would begin. But this new Michael Age must be different from the others. For the other Ages of Michael were such that the Cosmic Intelligence had always expressed itself in the common sphere of humanity. But now,—thus said Michael in super-sensible worlds to his pupils,—now in the new Michael Age something quite different would be required. For what Michael had administered for men through many aeons, pouring it into earthly existence in living inspirations, this had now fallen away from him. But he was to find it again when at the end of the seventies of the 19th century he would begin his new earthly rule. He would find it again at a time when, to begin with, an Intelligence bereft of spirituality had taken root among men. And he would find it in a peculiar condition,—most intensely exposed to the Ahrimanic forces. For in the very time when the Intelligence was descending from the cosmos to the earth, the aspirations of the Ahrimanic powers grew ever greater, striving to wrest the Cosmic Intelligence from Michael as soon as it became earthly Intelligence, striving to make it dominant on earth alone, free of Michael.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"VII.

Jahrhunderts, Michael selber auf der Erde seine Herrschaft wieder antreten werde, wie ein neues Michael-Zeitalter, nachdem die sechs anderen Archangeloi in der Zwischenzeit, seit der Alexanderzeit, ihre verschiedenen Herrschaften ausgeübt hatten, beginnen werde, aber ein Michael-Zeitalter, das anders werden müsse wie die anderen. Denn diese anderen Michael-Zeitalter waren eben so, daß da die kosmische Intelligenz immer sich in dem Allgemein-Menschlichen ausgelebt hat. Jetzt aber — das sagte dazumal Michael im Übersinnlichen zu seinen Schülern — wird es sich im Michael-Zeitalter um etwas ganz anderes handeln. Dasjenige, was Michael durch Äonen verwaltet hat für die Menschen, was er ins irdische Dasein inspirierte, das ist ihm entsunken. Er wird es wiederfinden, wenn er Ende der siebziger Jahre des 19. Jahrhunderts seine Erdenherrschaft antreten wird. Er wird es wiederfinden, indem eine zunächst von der Spiritualität entblößte Intelligenz unter den Menschen unten Platz gegriffen haben wird; aber er wird es wiederfinden in einem besonderen Zustande; er wird es wiederfinden so, daß es ausgesetzt ist im stärksten Maße den ahrimanischen Kräften. Denn in derselben Zeit, in der die Intelligenz vom Kosmos auf die Erde sank, wuchs immer mehr und mehr die Aspiration der ahrimanischen Mächte, diese kosmische Intelligenz, indem sie irdisch wurde, dem Michael zu entreißen, sie auf der Erde allein, Michael-frei, geltend zu machen.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":224,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/237/1924-07-28/p029"}],"english":["GA 237/1924-07-28/p034"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":224,"en_words":247,"ratio":1.1,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.11,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":6192,"original_word_count":5596,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"George Adams.
