John the Baptist as the Bringer of the New Era by Rudolf Steiner




From "Deeper Secrets of Human History in the light of the Gospel of St. Matthew (from CW 117)"

"November 23, 1909"

"The different streams of spiritual life in antiquity converge in Jesus.
Ancient clairvoyance and the significance of blood-relationship fade away before the new happening: the full function of the Ego, the kingdom of Heaven. Preparation for this among the Nazarenes. The Baptism of John.
The Children of the Serpent and the image of the Lamb. John the Baptist as the bringer-in of the new era, in which the spiritual world shines into the soul of man through the phenomena and manifestations of the outer world."
