The book includes many of Joshua's statements hand written in Greek and Aramaic by the author and includes  a table of genealogy of the Holy family  The text below is a selection from the book which speaks now as it did two thousand years ago to the importance of loving those who consider themselves our enemies.

Through the centuries Christianity, the doctrine of life, love, compassion and mercy, has suffered grievously from the darkness of human ignorance, malice, and prejudice.  But at some time the crucified Lord of the everlasting Life and Love, the Light of the world, will be resurrected in the hearts of all Christians.  ~ Daskalos

Excerpt from: Joshua Immanuel the Christ, His Life on Earth and His Teachings

Then Joshua, in at-one-ment with his Divine Self, the El Shaddai, said in Greek, ‘Beloved ones,
offspring of Alaha, love the Adonai Alaha and the Adonai Elohim in you.     Love your Alaha, God, in you – Being-Ego-Self. Love your Spirit-Soul-Self and love your Adonai Alaha in every other human being.
   
    ‘Beloved ones, Alaha, God, is in you and the Melekh Shamayyim (the King of the Heavens) is in your Spirit Being-Self. You are the Melekh Shamayyim.

    ‘The El Shaddai and the Shekhinah are in your Being-Self. The Shekhinah keeps your material body in good health through your Tzool-mal (etheric double) filling it with Neshamah (Vitality). “Ateh Gibor Leolam Adonai (You are mighty forever, O Lord), always filling our Hakhamim (vital body) with your Divine life-giving Vitality.”

    ‘Beloved ones - Essenes, Israelites, Greeks, Bedouins, Romans, and all human beings on this Earth – you are all offspring of the Alaha El Shaddai. To call another your enemy is an insult to Alaha. All human beings are individualized little selves in the El Shaddai Divine Selfhood. Love Alaha, the Adonai, the Spirit-Soul-Self of All human beings, your brothers and sisters, the sons and daughters of your Father Alaha.

    ‘Love those brothers and sisters who are under the influence of the Evil One, calling themselves your enemies. They need your love more than your friends. Pray to the Heavenly Father, yours and theirs, that they may be freed from the dark snares of the Wicked One, going from darkness of ignorance into the light of your love.

    ‘In the gross material world the Evil One, the Master of Evil, of Darkness and Ignorance reigns and has power only for a limited time over matter and human flesh. But the Master of Evil, his petty evil existence, is no match to the Lord of Life, the Lord of everlasting Light, to the Spirit-Soul-Self, the real Self-Soul of a human being. It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing’

But I say to you who hear: Love those calling themselves your enemies, do good to those who hate you. Bless those who curse you and pray for those who spitefully use you. To him who strikes you on the one cheek, offer the other also. And from him who takes away your cloak, do not withhold your tunic either. Give to every one who asks of you. And from him who takes away your goods, do not ask them back. And just as you want men to do to you, also do to them likewise. But if you love those who love you what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them. And if you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For even the sinners do the same. And if you lend to those from whom you hope to receive back, what credit is that to you? For even sinners lend to sinners to receive as much back in return. But love those who call themselves your enemies, do good and lend, hoping for nothing in return; and your reward will be great and you will be sons of the Highest. For he is kind to the unthankful and evil. Therefore, be merciful, just as your Heavenly Father also is merciful. Judge not, and you shall not be judged. Condemn not, and you will not be condemned. Forgive and you will be forgiven. Give and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down shaken together and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you. (Luke 6:27-38)

    An Israelite disciple said to Joshua, ‘Rabbi, you have said…”To him who strikes you on the one cheek, offer the other also” What if he continues slapping you? I cannot convince myself that accepting the slaps of an unmannerly person will help.’

    Joshua Immanuel answered, ‘Beloved one, offer real Love to those who call themselves your enemies will change them, enduring their unreasonable enmity. Imagine some coming to you, shouting and slapping you. You look at him with love asking, not with words but with a look, why he is striking you? Usually he will shout his reasons at you. And if you are calm, you may understand why he is behaving so. If you have said or done something to anger him, ask him to forgive you. It will calm him. Offer him your hand, and your friendship, and do it wholeheartedly.’

    ‘But Master,’ the disciple said, ‘what of those who carry daggers or knives or other weapons?’

    ‘Imagine now my dear one in your mind’ replied Joshua, ‘that before you is an angry person who is shouting and attacking you, slapping your face. Your react with anger, returning his slaps. The slaps become punches and kicks. He draws his dagger. You draw yours. You stab each other. Bloodshed, wounds, often death, and hell on Earth. My dear one, anger and weapons are not an answer. “A tooth for a tooth” and “an eye for an eye” is not for us. I insist emphatically: “To him who strikes you on the one cheek, offer the other also.”’

    The Israelite Rabbis were deeply disturbed by these words. The left the synagogue arguing angrily, claiming the Essene Rabbi was abolishing the Mosaic Law. The courtyard was filled with more than a hundred sufferers, many in great pain, with wounds and illnesses that were ‘incurable’. Joshua concluded his lessons saying, ‘No weapon protects. Instead weapons are provocations and dangerous temptations. Only love can protect us.’ Rayis Rabbi Ephraim he went out of the synagogue. In the courtyard he went, as he usually did to each of the sick and infirm to caress their heads and hands, healing them saying ‘Your sins are forgiven. Sin no more.’

    These words incited the Israelite Rabbis and some Pharisees who overheard them. ‘Who are you to forgive sins?’ the cried. ‘Only Alaha can forgive sin, blasphemer. We charge you in the name of Alaha,God, to tell us who you are!’ Joshua answered, ‘Ehyeh Asher Ehyeh, Ehyeh Beni Alaha’ (I am that I am. I am the Son of God).

    Infuriated, the Israelite Rabbis cried, ‘You are an Archdemon! You abolish the Law of Moses! You violate the Sabbath! You deceive the people when saying you can forgive their sins! And you call yourself the Son of God, accursed blasphemer!

    The two Pharisees, who were good-hearted and broad-minded, thought that if the Rayis Rabbis and Rabbis, and those Pharisees and scribes who were set against Joshua, could hear him teach and witness him healing, that might change their hearts and minds. So they invited Joshua to the Israelite temple on the Sabbath, later in the afternoon.

    That temple too was filled to overflowing, and in its courtyard was a great crowd of those seeking healing. Many lay on the ground moaning in their pain. Among them were two lepers, who, by violating the laws of quarantine, had caused a panic in the crowd. Joshua went first to the lepers. He uncovered their mutilated faces and unwound the bandages from their limbs. He caressed the awful wounds, healing them entirely. And one by one he healed them all saying, ‘Your sins are forgiven.’ The Rayis Rabbis had been astonished by the healings, but still the words of the Essene Rabbi infuriated them.

    Joshua entered the temple with the two Pharisees, followed by the angry Rayis Rabbis and other Rabbis. Joshua in the pulpit in his snow-white robe was like an Archangel. Stretching out his hands towards the ceiling, he said,

Kodoish, Kodoish, Kodoish, Adonai Alaha,
Adonai Bereshith Bara Elohim
Alaha Hushmal. Alaha Shamayyim.

Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord God
The Lord of the Archangelic Hosts
The God of Light. The God of the Heavens.

    While Joshua was trying to speak to the congregation of his Father’s Love for all His children the Rayis Rabbis repeatedly interrupted. In the meantime another crowd had gathered in the courtyard. Joshua suspended his talk and went to them, with the Rayis Rabbis following close behind. While he was healing the sufferers, a boy of fifteen, goaded by a Rabbi, threw a stone at Joshua. It struck him on the right shoulder. Joshua turned to the boy smiling and sending to him love, his blessing, and the wish that he might one day come to the Truth. When all were healed, Joshua returned to the temple. The Rayis Rabbi of the temple, in collusion with the other Rayis Rabbis of the Sanhedrin, ordered that stones be pilled in the courtyard to stone the blasphemer to death. Joshua, reading their thoughts, said to them, ‘You have seen me healing , doing good to our brothers. For which of these good works would you have me killed?’

‘Most assuredly, I say to you, whoever commits a sin is a slave of sin. And a slave does not abide in the house forever, but a son abides forever. Therefore, if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed. I know you are Abraham’s descendants, but you seek to kill me , because my word has no place in you. I speak what I have seen with my Father, and you do what you have seen with your father… Which of you convicts me of sin? And if I tell the truth, why do you not believe me? He who is of God hears God’s words; therefore you do not hear because you are not of God.’ Then the Jews answered and said to him, ‘Do we not say rightly that you are a Samaritan and have a demon?’ Joshua answered, ‘I do not have a demon, but I honor my Father and you dishonor me. I do not seek my own glory; there is One who seeks and judges. Most assuredly, I say to you, if anyone keeps my word he shall never taste Maout (death)’ Then the Jews said to him, ‘Now we know that you have a demon! Abraham is dead, and the prophets, and you say, “If anyone keeps my word he shall never taste death.” Are you greater than our father Abraham who is dead? And the prophets are dead. Whom do you make yourself out to be?” Joshua answered, ‘If I honor myself, my honor is nothing. It is my Father who honors me, of whom you say that he is your God. Yet you have not know him, but I know him, and if I say, “I do not know him,” I shall be a liar like you. But I do know him and keep his word. Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day, and he saw it and was glad.’ Then the Jews said to him, ‘Your are not yet fifty years old, and have you seen Abraham?’ Joshua said to them; ‘Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was I AM.’ (John 8:34-38, 46-58)

    As he left the temple, he faced the Sanhedrin executioners armed with stones, intent on his destruction. Joshua, dematerializing his material body, passed through them invisibly.

    The they took up stones to throw at him; but Joshua hid himself and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by. (John 8:59)

    The following morning Joshua returned to the Israelite temple for the sake of the two good-hearted Pharisees and his Israelite disciples. Some of the Sanhedrin Rabbis were present and two Rayis Rabbis, full of disappointment that their plot had failed. The two Pharisees and the disciples of Joshua, who where also present, were plainly appalled by the behavior of the Rayis Rabbis. In the midst of this a man, blind from birth, approached Joshua…

Now as Joshua passed by, he saw a man who was blind from birth and his Israelite disciples asked him, saying, ‘Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?’ Joshua answered, ‘Neither this man nor his parents sinned, but that the works of God should be revealed in him. I must work the works of him who sent me while it is day; the night is coming when no one can work. As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.’ When he had said these things, he spat on the ground and made a clay with the saliva: and he anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay. And he said to him, ‘Go, wash in the Pool of Siloam’ (which is translated as Sent). So he went and washed, and came back seeing. Therefore the neighbors and those who previously had seen that he was blind, said, ‘Is not this he who sat and begged?’ Some said, ‘this is he,’ Others said, ‘He is like him.’ He said, ‘I am he.’ Therefore they said to him, ‘How were your eyes opened?’ He answered and said, ‘a man called Joshua made clay and anointed by eyes and said to me, “go to the Pool of Siloam and wash.” So I went and washed and I received sight.’ The they said to him, ‘Where is he?’ He said, ‘I do no know.’ They brought him who formerly was blind to the Pharisees. Now it was a Sabbath when Joshua made the clay and opened his eyes. Then the Pharisees also asked him again how he had received his sight. He said to them, ‘He put clay on my eyes, and I washed and I see.’ There fore some of the Pharisees said, ‘This man is not from God, because he does not keep the Sabbath.’ Others said, ‘How can a man who is a sinner do such miracles.’ And there was a division among them. They said to the blind man again, ‘What do you say about him because he opened your eyes?’ He said, ‘He is a prophet.’ But the Israelites did not believe concerning him, that the had been blind and received his sight, until they called the parents of him who had received his sight. And they asked them saying, ‘Is this your son, who you say was born blind’ How then does he now see?’ His parents answered them and said, ‘We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind; but by what means he now sees we do not know, or who opened his eyes we do no know. He is of age, ask him. He will speak for himself’ His parents said these things because they feared the Israelites, for the Israelites had agreed already that if anyone confessed that he was the Messiah he would be put out of the synagogue. Therefore his parents said, “He is of age, ask him.” So they again called the man who was blind and said to him, ‘Give God the glory! We know that this man is a sinner.’ He answered and said, ‘Whether he is a sinner or not, I do not know. One thing I know , that though I was blind, now I see.’ Then they said to him again, ‘What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes’ He answered them, “ I have told you already and you did not listen. Why do you want to hear it again? Do you also want to become his disciples?’ Then they reviled him and said, ‘You are his disciple, but we are Moses’ disciples. We know that God spoke to Moses, as for this fellow we do not know where he is from.’ The man answered and said to them, ‘Why this is a marvelous thing that you do not know where he is from; and yet he has opened my eyes. Now we know that God does not hear sinners, but if anyone is a worshipper of God and does his will, he hears him. Since the world began, it has been unheard of that anyone opened the eyes of one who was born blind. If this man were not from God, he could do nothing.’ They answered and said to him, ‘Your were completely born in sins and you are teaching us?’ And they cast him out. Joshua heard that they had cast him out, and when he found him he said to him, ‘Do you believe in the Son of God.’ He answered and said, ‘Who is he, Lord, that I may believe in him?’ And Joshua said to him, you have both seen him and it is he who is talking to you.’ Then he said, ‘Lord, I believe!’ And he worshipped him. (John 9:1-38)

    The Israelite disciples of Joshua felt in their hearts great anger towards the Israelite Rayis Rabbis, the Rabbis, and those Scribes and Pharisees who were under the influence of the Sanhedrin. They believed them to be both fanatical and malicious. But knowing his disciples’ hearts, Joshua said to them, ‘Dear ones, do not poison yourselves with anger against those who call themselves our enemies. For they too are our beloved ones, intoxicated for the present by the illusions of the material world. Sooner or later they will wake up to the Truth. Clean your hearts of anger and complaint. Those feelings create dark elementals, and our lost brothers are in need of our prayers, our good elementals of light, and love. Dear ones, love those who call themselves your enemies.’

    The next morning Joshua, Yiohannan, and the two Yiacoubs, sons of Yioussouf and of Shabbatai, left Yerushalayim. Joshua did not tell Rayis Rabbi Ephraim or the others what had transpired in the Israelite temple, knowing how much it would disturb them. Only Yiohannan who who was in complete attunement with his beloved Joshua and was Self-conscious out of his material body, understood everything.
