CHAPTER 113.
In answer to a question of Lamaas Jesus teaches a lesson on the reign of peace and the way to it through antagonisms. The signs of the times. Guidance of the Holy Breath. The Christines go to Bethsaida.
Now, after they had dined, the guests and Jesus all were in a spacious hall in Mary’s home.
2 And then Lamaas said, Pray, tell us Lord, is this the dawn of peace?
3 Have we come forth unto the time when men will war no more?
4 Are you, indeed, the Prince of Peace that holy men have said would come?
5 And Jesus said, Peace reigns today; it is the peace of death.
6 A stagnant pool abides in peace. When waters cease to move they soon are ladened with the seeds of death; corruption dwells in every drop.
7 The living waters always leap and skip about like lambs in spring.
8 The nations are corrupt; they sleep within the arms of death and they must be aroused before it is too late.
