871. The fact that this mental state is quite different from that of terrestrial human beings who have to be helped with the formula of "forgiveness of sins" and who have to marry and live with the animal sexuality, with its falling in love, jealousies and rivalries, is also given expression in his wisdom where he says "Verily I say unto you, among them that are born of women, there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist; notwithstanding, he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he". What is the world redeemer revealing here? That he refers so strongly to "those that are born of women" shows that he must certainly be aware of a state of being in which one is "not born of women". One can easily understand that here he cannot define his wisdom in a particularly detailed form. He has entered a territory that he knows lies far beyond what his listeners are able to grasp. In fact later in the same conversation he explains about John the Baptist: "And if ye will receive it, this is Elijah, who was to come", just as on another occasion he speaks of "the wind that bloweth where it will" and so on, thus pointing out that he is now dealing with subjects his listeners are as little able to grasp as they are able to grasp where the wind comes from and where it goes. But from what he is saying it is nevertheless clear that the perfect inhabitants of the "kingdom of heaven" are not born of women. It is a different state of being, a completely different state of procreation or maintenance of the survival of the species. A completely different state of sexuality or gender must therefore apply to these beings. The "least in the kingdom of heaven" is greater than the greatest of those that are born of women, which means the greatest or most developed terrestrial human being. It cannot possibly be explained away that Jesus is pointing out strongly that the "kingdom of heaven" is so far above the kingdom in which the terrestrial human being finds itself that the least in the former kingdom is greater than the greatest in the kingdom of the terrestrial human being.
