The creating process of the paintings of the 12 Pearls of the New Jerusalem:

In 2009 I woke up and I heard the message, buy a big canvas, paints, brushes and easel and start painting. Until that time I had almost no painting skills. The Holy Spirit worked through me so strongly that I could hardly stand its power and sank to my knees or lay on the floor with every brush stroke. I was barely able to hold the brush. Although I am right-handed, I painted left-handed and right-handed or even bilaterally. The power of the Holy Spirit was so strong that I hardly had any control over my body and hands. The first 2-3 years of making were so exhausting for me because I spent a lot of time on my knees and lying on the floor, praying, pleading and speaking in tongues to learn humility, surrender and obedience above all. On the one hand, it felt like a very hard training or a kind of training camp, where all the I in me was more and more put to flight. But on the other hand, a longing for God's word and a desire to understand grew in me, so that I often felt overwhelmed by grace. In the making of the paintings, much wisdom, biblical teaching and knowledge was imparted to me by the Holy Spirit. This knowledge has been revealed above all through my heart. Over a very intensive process of more than eight years, first 7 pearls of the New Jerusalem in the Old Covenant were completed as paintings and then another 5 paintings. During this time the different dimensions of the Old Covenant Bible Law were revealed to me. After the paintings were completed, I experienced a new birth by going deeply into repentance with myself before the Lord over a long period of time beforehand because profound things were revealed to me by the Father. After this rebirth, a renewed 2-year process has begun to partially or even completely paint over all 12 paintings out of the completed work of Jesus Christ. It was important to paint over the paintings that were created out of the legalism of the Old Covenant and not to take new canvases, because the New Covenant  was built on the Old Covenant and through Jesus Christ, the Law was fulfilled. The paintings of the New Jerusalem Pearls in the New Covenant represent the freedom of the living Christ in man. In this altogether ten-year, profound process, the 12 pearls of the New Jerusalem were painted on canvas, with acrylic paint, in a size of 140 x 100 cm. In each painting, my own bodily-spiritual structure was transformed into Christ and aligned with the divine order. Throughout the creation process I was guided by the Holy Spirit, which I had already received at the age of 25 when I gave my life to Jesus Christ. The materials used in the making are 22-24 carat gold leaf, 925 silver and copper. Precious stones mentioned in the Bible were also incorporated into the colors. Up to 24 layers of paint were applied to the individual paintings. Each painting was worked in several layers, so that different colors, shapes and metal layers were worked in under the surface that can be seen. During the creation of the paintings of the New Jerusalem, I prayed and sang a lot in tongues, danced and quoted words from the Bible. The power of Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit have always been involved in the creation of a painting in a multi-layered way.

Note on the paintings:

The images of the pearls of the New Jerusalem are intended to serve as heavenly inspiration and may also touch your heart. They merely serve as an inner impression in order to possibly gain a deeper understanding of the pearls of the New Jerusalem.

Just as we are not allowed to make a picture of Jesus Christ, the pictures are not meant to be a picture of the pearls of the New Jerusalem. I have the gift of sight and when I paint, I very often find myself in the New Jerusalem, which for me is carried inwardly by colours, light frequencies, sounds, gold and the glory of God.

The pearls are intended to give an impression of what has been created within 12 years, guided by the Holy Spirit. Just as the poems are also a kind of tone color for me and above all have the task of touching you in your heart.

The fountain of living water (Proverbs 4:23) springs forth in the heart, in the place where Jesus Christ dwells. rather, it is about revealing the pearls like an onion skin.

This in turn happens through: Forgiveness, our faith, God's grace, the biblical word and daily action and life, guided by the Holy Spirit. This is how the pearls of the New Jerusalem are brought to bloom in each and every one of us.

Each individual pearl was pointed out to me as a quality or attribute of God.

Revelation 21:12 says that there were 12 angels at the gates, and the 12 names of the sons of the 12 tribes of Israel are written on the 12 gates.

When the pearls were painted, there was also an angel at my side at each gate, which were seen by several people. The apostles also represent certain qualities in the Bible. It is difficult to understand with the mind, but it can be grasped with the heart, where Jesus Christ dwells. 

Note on the vision:

As Revelation 21: 9-11 indicates, the New Jerusalem comes adorned like a bride from heaven. The Bride also represents the Body of Christ, the Church of God. In the vision given to me in 2004, the New Jerusalem descending from heaven as the Golden City with Her 12 pearls is connected to the hearts of the people. In the many years of dealing with the 12 pearls of the New Jerusalem, I have gained a deep insight into the meaning of the pearls, the New Jerusalem in us, how heaven on earth becomes effective in us by making the glory of God, the daily walking in Jesus Christ visible in us, so that we are like salt and light for the earth. The New Jerusalem is brought out above all by being willing to let only Jesus Christ live through us and being willing to be more than overcomers (Rev. 2 and 3) and laying down our bodies to HIM daily. The pearls of the New Jerusalem are like onion layers shadowed by fear, lack, control, greed, jealousy, etc., which are freed by faith, His grace and surrender to Jesus Christ, the Biblical Word and the guidance of the Holy Spirit. The deeper and truer our relationship with the Lord is, the more His glory can be expressed through us.

And the twelve gates were twelve pearls; every several gate was of one pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent glass. And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it. (Revelation 21, 21, 22)

Having grasped the glory of God in our hearts (Ga.l 2:20), we always carry His love with us wherever we are. This love urges us to work for the good of our brothers and sisters (1Thes. 1,3), to be patient, peaceful and long suffering in our dealings with people and more, to look after the spiritual, mental and physical well-being of our neighbor, because in Christ we are one body and should respect, value and stand up for one another (1 Cor. 12).

From 24.01.2025, the pearls of the New Jerusalem will be available to view in the Paul Gerhardt Church in Munich. 

On th 30. of January 2025 at 7.30 pm there will be the Vernissage. Everyone is very welcome to join.

 Paul-Gerhardt Church in Munic

The 12 pearls of the New Jerusalem represent 12 aspects of the completed work, the New Covenant of Jesus Christ. At the same time, the 12 pearls stand for the 12 tribes of Israel. I will only give a very brief description of the individual paintings here, based on a Bible verse, but they are not at all capable of encompassing the height, width and length of what Jesus Christ created in heaven. The paintings can only be grasped with the heart and the Holy Spirit. 

However, it is possible to participate in a 3-month training program on the 12 Pearls of the New Jerusalem, which takes place online once a week for 1.5-2 hours.

1. Pearl : The birth of Jesus 

Through the birth of Jesus, a divine blueprint was written in us, a so-called blueprint, which is symbolized by the blue ring. At the bottom is the child Jesus lying down, pure and innocent, flooded with God's light and grace. The crystals in the middle symbolize the people who have given their lives to Jesus and are thus a new creation. 

For unto you is born this day a Savior, which is Christ the Lord, in the city of David. Lucas 2:11

2. Pearl: The bride - The body of Christ

The bride of Christ is washed clean, which is symbolized by the crystal ball in the middle. The 12 colors, the first 7 are the rainbow colors, represent the work accomplished through Jesus Christ, the life and work of the New Covenant. The 12 biblical gemstones have been incorporated into the 12 colors.

For just as in one body we have many members, but not all members have the same function, so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, but among ourselves we are members one of another. Romans 12:4-5

3. Pearl: The Freedom

The white cross is intended to express that Jesus Christ has fulfilled the law and that we have been washed clean and declared righteous through Him. 

Here is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit who gives life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and death. Romans 8:1-2

4. Pearl: The living Christ

The heart represents the agape love of God, the tree of life and the living water are intended to point to the living Christ in man. The three golden dots represent the Holy Trinity: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. 

Because for me, living is Christ and dying is gain. Philippians 1:21

...and Christ to dwell in your hearts through faith, being rooted and grounded in love. Ephesians 3:17

He who believes in me, as the Scripture has said, out of his belly will flow rivers of living water. John 7:38

5. Pearl: The Light

Out of the darkness comes the light of God. The symbols in the upper area tell the story of Jesus Christ, of the crucifixion, ascension, the new man, hearing in the Holy Spirit, etc.

But enter into thy closet when thou prayest, and shut the door, and pray to thy Father which is in secret. Your Father, who also sees what is hidden, will reward you. Matthew 6:6

Then Jesus spoke to them again and said: I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life. John 8.12

6. Pearl: The Holy Communion

The blood of God flows through the human body (see picture of vine ). We are washed clean by his blood, all our sins are forgiven and through his stripes we are saved. We have entered into the new covenant, in that He has completed His work on the cross.

Then he took the bread. He thanked God for it, shared it and gave it to them with the words: “This is my body, which is given for you. Celebrate this meal again and again. Remember what I have done for you as often as you eat this bread.” 20 After the meal, he took the cup of wine and gave it to the disciples, saying, “This is my blood, with which the new covenant between God and man is sealed. It is poured out for you for the forgiveness of sins. Lucas 20, 19-21

7. Pearl: The ascended Christ 

Now that Jesus Christ has risen from the dead. He lives in our hearts. He is also described in the Bible as the mighty lion and the sacrificed lamb. 

Jesus says to him: “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. John 14:614:6

And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and upon the sea, and all that is in them, heard I saying, To him that sitteth upon the throne, and to the Lamb, praise, and honor, and glory, and power, for ever and ever. Revelation 5:13

And I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; and I will take away the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. Ezekiel 36:26

8. Pearl: The New Jerusalem - The Kingdom

The picture shows the 12 apostles as the lower circle, which are the foundation stones of the New Jerusalem in the New Covenant. The yellow-gold of the picture is intended to represent the glory of God. The funnel points to the infinite riches and abundance of God.

Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth. For the former heaven and the former earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, festively adorned like a bride for her bridegroom. Revelation 21: 2 

9. Pearl: Grace

The overflowing chalice is intended to show the grace of God that makes us free, as an expression of an eagle.

For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast. Ephesians 2:8-9

10. Pearl: Everlasting Peace

The picture shows the dove of peace with the symbols of Alpha and Omega. 

I am the Alpha and the Omega, says the Lord God, who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty. Revelation 1:8

And may the peace of Christ reign in your hearts, to which you have also been called in one body! And be thankful!

Colossians 3:15

For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap eternal life.

Galatians 6:8

For you have not received a spirit of bondage again to fear, but you have received a spirit of adoption as sons, in which we cry out: Abba, Father! Romans 8:15

His eyes are like a flame of fire, and on his head many crowns; and he had written a name that no one knew but himself. Revelation 11:12

12. Pearl: Completion

This image is intended to represent perfection in Jesus Christ. He made a new covenant with God on the cross. 

But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for a possession, that you may proclaim the virtues of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. 1 Peter 2:9

Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, until the end of the age.

Matthew 28:19-20
