Preliminary stages to the Mystery of Golgotha

Approaching the Mystery of Golgotha (Lit.:GA 152), we find three preliminary stages of the Mystery of Golgotha that the Christ went through before descending to earthly existence with the baptism in the Jordan. Man had been driven into the Fall of Man by a spiritual being that far surpassed man, by Lucifer, and only a superhuman deed could make up for its consequences. Therefore, the Christ decided to leave his solar home and connect with the earth through a human being. But this had to be prepared step by step.
