Note: the drug is the cure of the disease, to defeat the disease, the cry is the effect of fright; in this way the Modern Prophet is the effect of entrenched injustice.

Without injustices the Prophecy that I give you would remain just the Poet, the Priest-

" to the divine man that creates beauty, who dances in its ineffable beauty, and would not place the divine man who treats the wounded residues of beauty".

Modern Prophet is crying of the poet who wants to become "smile" of a poet, that's the nature of modern Prophet, who is not the soothsayer, but the spokesman for the great Light, of the divine cosmic consciousness.

He is: mouth-word-verb-eye of the wounded and dying life through the new modern war made of bombings to defenceless people and full of legalized abuses by the current powers, wounded and dying life.

Power and limits of fanatic doctrines.

The power and the strength of a community does not only depend on the members or components and on their number, but very much on the economic component, but even more on the doctrine that prophesies and that everyone carries out. Let's see therefore how a fanatical doctrine (and we see even today with the Isis) often increases a community's power.

Today they are trendy, perhaps more than before, their influence on power has great practical importance, so a nation or group of fanatics has odds of success in war, this is a major impediment to democracy and democratic peoples in general; it has more success than a nation where there is a large population of wise men.

Consider this in the light of history.

It is possible to note that cases in which fanaticism led to success are much more known than those in which they failed, because these events remained in the dark.

The Exodus (movement of the people), Moses (with the Tablets of the Law), the central yellow Cross without the traditional signs of the passion, the wounds in the hands and chest (the Resurrection, i.e. the Victory over power); the painting teaches that the true worship of God implies breaking the yoke around the neck of the oppressed and set the slaves free...This is the true messianic message of resurrection, of the Exodus, the Passover of Moses, the paths followed by all the Buddhas as well as by the enlightened persons and peoples. Picture: Marc Chagall (1952-1966) - The Exodus

Only following the path "of the last who shall be first, and the first last" (thus avoiding the concept of “last”, “first”, “coincidence” and “removal of opposites”), we can feel universal love, which will enable us to love and help both our friends and enemies looking for humanization; just like the sun, we shall spread light, life and warmth not only to our friends, but also to the secret needs of our enemies.

However, the "turn the other cheek" motto refers exclusively to those who have "another cheek," but the poor, conversely, have none.

Therefore, this ethical motto addresses especially the authorities and the rich, those who have the choice and means to freely act; it does not refer to those who live outside a “moral context" and have no freedom to choose their means and acquire knowledge: this truth must be revealed to all the theologians, wise men, politicians and "non-violent" activists (in words) of the world; to all the priests, and bishops who address the humiliated and offended masses, to all the poor Lazarus in Africa, Latin America and the whole world.

Moreover, the authorities, in the true sense of the word, should comply with the provisions of the Gospel – especially with the Parable of the "Prodigal Son" - and adhere to the Canticle of Mary, mother of Jesus.

The love of the prophets, of these men guided by love, springs from the path taken by Prophet Abraham, the father of all the prophets.

Picture: Marc Chagall - 1949 - Clock - The importance of time for human life.

Over the life cycle of men and books, in particular of those dealing with life like this one, the final chapter and the closing sentence are - perhaps coincidentally - the most important steps. Probably some articles have succeeded, albeit marginally, in addressing or inspiring some readers, therefore I would like to add: "Upon the drafting of this text, I listened to my heart, which in turn answered the call of our troubled time! Therefore, I decided to subject our works to constant scientific checks in order to emphasise the substance and content, and now I would like to let my heart talk about the importance of "word" and "time" within modern prophetism.

For primitive men, the word was sacred because it was considered more important than the message that it conveyed.

At those times, men used to talk very little, and when they did, their purpose was the communication of basic things like events, ideas, commands and teachings.

The word included authority, knowledge and a precise vital function.

Just like word, time was highly esteemed and regarded as a sacred entity; in fact, peoples were stirred and enlightened both by word and the growth over time.

Phonto: M. Chagall (1911) - The confusing politics of the powerful. - The gap between politics and religion consists of that fact that religion, unlike politics, must be experienced but not understood. The politics of the politicians, who sit on comfortable seats, is rather chaotic, it bewilders our mind - which is exposed to various problems but cannot understand anything - and subjects us to the power and powerful. The prophetic justice is make people aware everywhere and without weapons, just through its voice or the organized Nature capable of highlighting the contradictions of the weak, but especially of the strong, such as their cowardice and fear of living the terrible truth which turns them into powerless instruments of abuse.

Politics and Religion should be simple: I do not mean that they are easy, but they are not complicated, life is not complicated; all the difficulties arise from the mind, which – if left free to run – tends to prevail over the others.

Politicians and philosophers find it very difficult – sometimes impossible - to become humanists (i.e.: to love mankind), since the deeper the knowledge, the greater the difficulty, but the difficulty depends on us; we create it by means of power and money, but complexity cannot match with simplicity, with love.

The gap between politics and religion consists of that fact that religion, unlike politics, must be experienced but not understood, the same attempt to understand it hinders any comprehension.

Intellect can solve any problem except for the problem itself: in fact, when you try to understand it, you get caught in a trap.

The politics of the politicians, who sit on comfortable seats, is rather chaotic, it bewilders our mind - which is exposed to various problems but cannot understand anything - and subjects us to the power and powerful, and the currency is precisely a token of the value.

Photo: Marc Chagall (1960-1966). the sacrifice of Isaac. Abraham is placed in a position of acceptance to the sacrifice, sacrifice that doesn't happen, then the teaching lies in awareness to acceptance of the sacrifice in which the individual is subjected (exploitation of peoples, fanaticism, wars). "... ideal of sacrifice and pain switches to honour and praise of the exploiting classes, enemies of joy and love for life."In the current World millions and millions of workers, men, women and children are sacrificed in the name of development. Sacrifices imposed by " capital God"; and the "capital God" is the heir of "feudal State God".

The love of fear- the refusal of pleasure - Fear paralyzes will

The relation between "rich-poor"; "servant-master" divides all, it divides especially the consciences of those who have an interest in the destruction of that relationship.

The Biblical prophetic wisdom expresses this situation in the right way: "In a State of oppression even a wise becomes a fool" (Ecclesiastes 6-7), it is above all the fear that folds even strongest consciences...

Let's consider how in the entangled human soul, the seed of the domain, the desire to own, and above all to control, but also to be owned or controlled by a great Lord (lord right) has always been sown deeply into mankind, otherwise the domain system, which has been working on Earth for some time, would be uprooted.

Power, but above all Religion (we see the results today, more than ever,) were teachers in teaching and instigating people, humans, to the love of fear : the pleasure of making fear and get scared.

Picture: Marc Chagall - The Song of Songs III 1960. The Return of the Promised Land. Two persons rise upwards towards the point indicated by an angel bearer of light, and two cities (the material and spiritual world) can be seen in the middle. In the inverted city, there is a dome with a cross and a pilgrim.

In our world, the just do not exist, because there can be no prevailing justice, and the just are often killed, persecuted, deceived (whereas the opposite occurs in the Promised Land): the just, i.e. those who act with liberality and full awareness, are crucified. "... Does not ride a horse on the hills full of beauty and love ..." (prophet Isaiah.)

How many crucified virtuous men will it take, before we shall revive in the glory and in light of the return of the Promised Land? We know that Isaiah’s vision addresses the need for justice and truth.

In the Canticle of the Promised Land, we know that the behaviour of the just shall be immeasurably rewarded. However, we must all recreate this ancient land, which is now almost extinct, and to this end, we must be "Just and Eternal."

But how can we be up to this task, if we are so powerless, contradictory and fragile in our insignificant actions?

First, we have to adhere to the vision of the Prophet, with our mind and body.

Marc Chagall – The angel's fall, 1923-1933-1947 Some symbols: the angel's fall: guilt - The priest: the authorities of judgment - the crucifix: the extreme forgiveness - The sun in the middle: with reflex towards the positive symbols of the concept.

We were asked to clarify the concept of forgiveness.

Forgive, does not mean forgetting, obliterate, means researching the true causes that have resulted in unfair malicious behavior, derive meaning, discover the objective, institutional, cultural, and correct it..

What should be done, what behavior?

    I repeat: to forgive does not mean forget, nor bless, does not mean obliterate, otherwise you put in a favorable condition for the harmful behavior of those who know, you ripetani more aggravated conditions.

What is forgiveness?

Animism - Definition of Animism: All that is beautiful, magnanimous and altruistic comes neither from the cold reason, nor from the emotional heart, but rather from the soul. "Primitive peoples" believed in the existence of a soul for objects and animals, thus leading to the conviction in the existence of human soul; and the latter preceded the belief in the existence of a deity. Picture: Marc Chagall.

Animism is a power of the soul, its effect on men is always positive, somehow divine.

But what is soul?

It is the spiritual component of men in contrast to their body; it has nothing to do with mind and intellect, or with heart and feelings, as the ancient animists and the modern psychology of the unconscious believe.

The recognition of a living entity inside men able to survive after their death is a form of animism.

All that is beautiful, magnanimous and altruistic comes neither from the cold reason, nor from the emotional heart, but rather from the soul.
