I am filled with joy that two thousand years
after the events happened in Palestine my
father’s account of the life and teachings of
Joshua Immanuel, the Christ, is published.
My father taught me at an early age that
true friendship is precious and rare. I am very
privileged to be able to say that I have a num-
ber of good friends. Not least among them
are Eliane and Rudolf Stauch who have spa-
red no effort to ensure that the book is true
to my father’s intentions. I wish to thank
them for the time spent in the preparation of
this book.
I am very glad that Dominik Stauch
agreed again to do the layout. His touch gives
a book a special quality. I extend to him my
sincere thanks.

handwriting. We have compiled a glossary of
most of the Aramaic terms and of some key-
words used in the text. The glossary terms are
printed in italics, at least when they first
appear in the text. In order to convey the idea
that Absolute Beingness or God is neither
male nor female, the text uses the terms
“Him” or “It” interchangeably.
In the first part of the draft the author
referred to God as “Eloha”. Realizing that it
could give rise to a false pronunciation, he pre-
ferred the second part “Allaha”. We used the
spelling “Alaha”, which is closer to Aramaic.

Introduction
Introduction
Absolute Infinite Authority is the Logos,
and the Logos is in God and the Logos is
God. He is in Absolute Authority in God.
All things were made through Him and
without Him nothing was made that was
made. (cf. John 1: 1-3)
In him (the God-man Joshua Immanuel, the Christ) is Life and the Life is the Light (the
Selfhood) of men. And the Light shines in the darkness (human ignorance) and the darkness
did not comprehend it (cf. John 1:4-5).
Who was, who is now, and who will always BE in eternity as a human being is Joshua the
Son of Man. And what was, what is now and what will BE in eternity, is Joshua the Son of God.
Was Joshua, as a person, simply a human being who lived twenty centuries ago for only
thirty-three years, who was then crucified, and passed over to oblivion?
Joshua has always been and is part of the Logos. By his own free will the Logos incarna-
ted and humanized an immaculate Logoic ray of himself as Joshua Immanuel; implanting in
Joshua his full Divine Logoic nature. Aware of himself as the Logos God, Joshua said, ‘Before
the foundation of the world, I am—in the eternal Now.’ (cf. John 17:24).
Joshua is now, and forever will be, eternal and everlasting Life, the Divine Selfhood, the
King of the Heavens and of the Earth, the Light of the world.
As a human being, Joshua was aware of being the Selfhood in every human being. As the
Logos, the Son of God, he knew himself as God. He was His Divine Majesty, the King of the
Heavens and of the Earth.
Then the King will say to those on his right hand, (Come, you blessed of my Father, inherit
the Kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: for I was hungry and you gave
me food; I was thirsty and you gave me drink; I was a stranger and you took me in; I was naked
and you clothed me; I was sick and you visited me; I was in prison and you came to me;’ Then the
righteous will answer him, saying, ‘Lord when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and
give you drink? When did we see you a stranger and take you in, or naked and clothe you? Or
when did we see you sick, or in prison, and come to you?’ And the King will answer and say to
them, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, IN AS MUCH AS YOU DID IT TO ONE OF THE LEAST OF THESE MY BRETH-
REN, YOU DID IT TO ME.’ (Matthew 23:34-40)
