“That they may be one”: What Jesus might have said
Our Lord could have said this:
Little children of my Father, understand that your oneness must be in order that the world may believe that I am from the Father, and that the Father sent me.
And now I shall explain to you what must come to pass. Behold, in order to convert the world initially, you must suffer much. For the flesh of the heathens shall rebel against you, and persecute you, as did Egypt of old to the first children of My Father.
But, behold, the witness of thy blood, shed for the sake of My Name, shall in effect be the sign and means that is able to obtain the world’s conversion, the first conversion.
But, understand, little children, that the salvation of the world will not yet be complete in this. For, behold, even though the dragon shall be cast out of heaven, you know that the fallen nature continually drageth man down. Hence, it is predetermined the no sooner does the sun rise from the darkness of pagan unbelief and persecution, than that the darkness shall cometh up gradually.
And how does the darkness come? Behold, herein is what you must know: there are five fountains of truth that emanate from Me and My Father, and the Spirit between us. And the five fountains are these, sources of Our Truth:
The first fountain is Us, the Triune God that made you all, My Father, I, the Incarnate One, and the Spirit. From our love and mystery flows all truth. Therefore, this is the highest source.
And the second fountain is thee, Peter, which is why I have prayed for thee. For you are the sign of the oneness of Us, therefore, guard what you have, and feed the sheep. Be careful not to fall, lest you cause schism.
And the third fountain is thee, My little children, you as the fathers that pass on in general the Oral Words that I give to thee, that you shall speak in the proper time. Unto you is given the fullness of Sacramental life. Be careful, therefore, not to fall, lest you cause the greater division, that is heresy, and the loss of the Sacraments that must have thee, the five that are neither Baptism nor Marriage.
And the fourth fountain is the Scriptures, the ones ye have now, the message of Old, and the Writings that shall come from thy guidance at a later time, after I have been taken up.
And the final source is even the light of reason, the natural way of the intellect, which can already comprehend even the existence of My Father, and that can see that the Creation bears forth signs of Divine Mysteries.
I tell you these things because, since the fallen nature cometh as it must, so then the setting of the sun after the world believes the first time cannot be avoided.
And so I tell you, that seven ages shall transpire after the time of the first victory over the flesh. And these ages shall follow the fountains I have told you of.
Therefore, I tell you, the first two ages of decline shall make war against the First source, which is Us, and Me, in Our Nature and Essence. In the firststage, heretics shall arise, because they are driven according to pride and other sins, that shall attack in partial ways the things of Us, but still accept that I am the final word and messiah. And in this, who We are, and Who I am, shall be confounded as it were.
Then, the second age shall utterly attack Us and Me, and then suggest that there is a word that surpasses Me. But the infidels will still listen to the implicit voice, for they shall still accept that the Divine can and must help us, both in intellect and will. And for this reason, those who are victims only of this spiritual harm shall be able to be saved.
In the third age, Peter, you shall fall, and so then the other brothers of thee that are great, like thee in most respects, shall become bitter, and leave thee, and this is the greater schism that cometh.
But behold, much worse things shall come later My little children. For eventually, in the fourth age, the dragon shall cause ye others that remain with Peter to fall, and to give scandal.
And this shall give rise to the terrible fifth age of the eruption of heresy never before seen. For seeing the sins of thee, men of great spiritual wrath, driven by pride and anger, shall rise up and rebel against thee, and they shall therefore no longer accept the Oral Words that ye have, but shall despise them, and consider the Writings to be the only path to the knowledge of Me.
