Who was Bertha Dudde?

Bertha Dudde wurde am 1. April 1891 als zweitälteste Tochter eines Kunstmalers in Liegnitz, Schlesien, geboren.

Bertha Dudde was born on 1. April 1891, as the second oldest daughter of a painter, in Liegnitz, Silesia. She became a dressmaker and began to receive pronouncements from God through the ‘Inner Word’ on 15. June 1937.

“In a clear dream I was moved to write down my thoughts after devout prayer. Understandably this often gave way to doubt and inner conflicts until I was convinced that I was, myself, by no means the initiator of these exquisitely gracious words; but instead it was the spirit within me, in other words, the love of the Heavenly Father was obviously responsible for them and introduced me to the truth”.

“I was given knowledge of the spiritual world which far exceeded my elementary school education. I received and receive this knowledge as a dictation in a state of complete consciousness; I write down everything I am told in shorthand, in order to then transfer it word for word to clean copy. The procedure does not take place in a state of compulsion, for example in a state of trance or ecstasy, but in an absolutely level-headed frame of mind. However, I have to want it to happen and then I can receive these dictations voluntarily; they are neither bound by time nor place.”

“Now I only have one wish, which is to be able to make these gifts of grace accessible to many more people and in accordance with the will of God Himself to be allowed to do much more work in His vineyard.”

(Quotations from an autobiography from 1959).

Bertha Dudde died on 18. September 1965 in Leverkusen, Germany.

Autobiography of Bertha Dudde

At the request of many friends Bertha Dudde wrote the following biography in 1953:

I have been writing messages received through the inner Word since June 15, 1937. In answer to the many requests of my friends I will give you a picture of my earthly life, a short explanation of what I received spiritually, and my own feelings about all this.

I was born April 1, 1891, the second oldest daughter of an artist of Liegnitz in Silesia, today's Poland. I had a normally peaceful childhood, with six sisters in our parent’s home. I learned the cares of life at an early age. The desire to make money to help my parents made me learn the trade of a seamstress. As the financial needs of my parents continued, so did the burden, and in this way I made myself useful.

My parents belonged to different denominations. Father was a Protestant - Mother a Catholic. We children were brought up in the Catholic faith but never experienced pressure or force to follow the practices of the church so that each child in later years was able to pursue their own chosen course.

I myself was religious but could not accept the doctrine of the Catholic system although I respected the church. I could not represent something on the outside that my inner conscience had not accepted. So I did not continue to attend church, heard little preaching and had no knowledge of the Bible. I did not read any religious books or scientific literature and did not join any other group or religious sect.

Anyone knowing the Catholic teaching knows what a conscious struggle one finds himself in when he wants to release himself from it. I was not spared from this either. But the question as to what is the Truth and where it is to be found, remained.

Often when I prayed the Lord's Prayer I would beseech the Lord to allow me to find His kingdom. This prayer was answered in June 15, 1937, as I prayed quietly and waited for the inner voice. In this attitude I persisted often, for a wonderful peace came over me and thoughts which came to my heart, not my head, gave me comfort and strength.

Still I did not know that these thoughts were given to me until, in a strange dream I experienced something which later proved to be the Truth and caused me to write down these thoughts.

So on a certain day as I listened inwardly a stream of words came to me, which I wrote down. This was the first message I wrote which started like this: "In the beginning was the Word, 'a Te-Deum' to the Creator of Heaven and Earth."

Then came doubt, …. did you write this by yourself? In short, I have wrestled, prayed and gone through many struggles, but again and again the words came to me like a stream, a wisdom, which made me tremble. Then God Himself took away my doubts. He answered me and I acknowledged Him as our Father, in His Word. My faith grew, doubt diminished, and I received and wrote daily.

The contents of the writings were beyond my understanding. Phrases, which I had never heard of or read about, strange and scientific expressions and references continually came to me. Then came unheard of expressions of the Heavenly Father's Love giving refuge and providing enlightenment to all the questions of life.

The Words came to me in the following manner: After sincere prayer and a short period of composure I listened inwardly. Thoughts then followed coming to my mind, clearly, distinctly, and the words flowed smoothly always three or four, one after another, like writing a radio announcement or a weather report, slowly so that I could easily keep pace, writing line after line.

Now I write the words in shorthand as a dictation without having any constructive or intellectual part in it. I am in no way in a 'trance', nor do I even form the sentences, but it comes to me one word at a time, neither do I understand the context while I am writing the words down.

After days, sometimes weeks, I transcribe the shorthand writings into longhand without changing or correcting a syllable. Each dictation takes about half an hour. I must stress that this could not happen forcibly or in a state of ecstasy. It all takes place simply and consciously, without any excitement or influence of my own will. I can interrupt myself at any time and finish the sentence after hours or days without reading the previous writing the dictated words continue again.

My will is under no compulsion, all that I desire is to serve God and do what His will wants me to do.

I can truthfully say that I was led into this Truth, and these concepts were, in every respect, foreign to me. It was only after years that I found confirmation of what I received when I came to know the writings of Jacob Lorber. No one can imagine my joy when I discovered the literature of Jacob Lorber; ‘The Great Gospel of John’ and ‘The Youth of Christ’. Then I understood that other people were also given the Word of the Lord, that God had spoken to His children at all times and that God will continue to do this in His endless love and mercy.

I found in Lorber's writings the same as was given to me. I often could not understand the Word that came to me, but in His love the Heavenly Father gave me the explanation. How wonderful are the innumerable manifestations in which the Father displays His exceedingly great goodness.

It became clear to me that my limited education due to lack of money, and my lack of time to read good books or visit performances, became my advantage. I was now able to concentrate on my work from early morning to late at night, and each day I received that precious spiritual Word without knowing for whom I received it.

It is because of my ignorance of the Bible and the Catholic doctrine that I accepted the Word from above without resistance. In my experience, an earnest Catholic or Protestant whose knowledge is rooted in dogmatic theories is too much bound to dogma to accept and embrace divine revelations without resistance.

Still, there are scientists at several faculties who earnestly discuss these divine teachings with increasing interest. Their interest not only concerns the irrefutable explanation of the origin of matter and the possibility of its dissolution, but also the principle of the wrong teachings of different religions, systems and confessions. In the messages I received, these errors are recorded and everyone is urged to give instructions concerning these doctrinal errors whenever there is an opportunity. But everyone is free to take the Lord's Word to heart or not. But whoever understands the spirit in the Father's Word and does not act accordingly increases the distance between himself and the Father even more. When he does not follow the warning Words of love he puts himself inevitably under the law. He will also, in the same measure, lack in grace by disregarding God's commandment of love.

In God's grace people are led anew to the Gospel, which emphatically points out the purpose of man's being. For the merciful love of God seeks to save all who still can be saved before the turning point comes. And it will come. The end-time which seers and prophets have proclaimed is now here. According to the revelations given to me, the Lord does not differentiate between His children. ‘Come ye all to Me’ sounds His call and blessed is he who hears His call and follows Him. God loves His children. He wants to make them all happy, even when they do not want to know Him.

God's end-time revelation ....

B.D. 6023 from August 14th 1954, taken from Book No. 65

You are approaching the end .... And therefore I reveal Myself to you so as not to leave you in ignorance of what this end will mean for you. I reveal Myself so that you will prepare yourselves, so that you will live in the right way and need not fear an end. You humans don't believe in an end and reject all admonitions and warnings which you receive on account of My revelations .... You ridicule and laugh at those who proclaim the near end to you, you deem yourselves knowledgeable and feel superior to the knowledge which is imparted to a person in an unusual way. You are spiritually blind and unable to see anything, and yet you don't believe those who have vision and therefore tell you in which hour you live .... And it will be as in the time of Noah when I also announced the near judgment to people and found no belief, when the proclaimers of the judgment only reaped scorn and ridicule until the day arrived when My proclamations came to pass, until the day arrived when the scorners fell prey to the judgment .... And once again it will be like this, again the Judgment has been announced a long time in advance, and it will be proclaimed time and time again, yet the last day for this earth and all its inhabitants will come suddenly and unexpectedly, for My Word is truth and it will come true when the time is right. But who believes that people live in the midst of this time, that they will only have a short time left until the end .... Who believes that they are facing a change for the worse, something which no-one on this earth has ever experienced? .... Who allows himself to be impressed by divine revelations, by predictions concerning the near end? Which one of you humans is consciously expecting the end and preparing himself for it?

There are only a few who believe that which was proclaimed by seers and prophets, and these few only reap scorn and ridicule if they profess their belief in it and also try to inform their fellow human beings .... few people listen to My voice and live their life such that they are not afraid of the end but rather feel pleased in view of the blissful time which will follow the end of this earth. However, I want to increase their number, I would like many more to realise that the time has been fulfilled .... I also would like to reveal Myself to those who are without knowledge .... Yet their will is defying Me and I will not compel anyone .... Therefore I content Myself with those who believe My Words and stand up for them, and I will grant them great power of speech .... I will let them speak in My place and although they, too, will have little success, although their words, too, will not be taken seriously, the world will nevertheless take notice of the proclamations of the near end .... There will be no shortage of indications and all over the world an end will be spoken of, but it will only ever affect a few such that they will believe and prepare themselves for it. And I will support those who have accepted the task of spreading enlightenment. I will bless all efforts which aim to distribute that which is conveyed to you humans in the form of revelations .... And the information of the forthcoming end will reach far and wide .... However, My revelations will prove themselves to be true faster than you suspect. For people will experience days of terror and thereby the truth of My Word will be pointed out to them .... And then they will still have sufficient time to prepare themselves for the end which irrevocably will follow these days of terror within a very short time .... And regardless of whether you, who spread My revelations, find credence or not .... don't stop proclaiming the forthcoming event; warn and admonish your fellow human beings and convey My revelations to them .... Proclaim to them the imminent Judgment which will affect everyone, even if they don't believe your words ....

Amen

Last Judgment .... Prior wake-up call ....

B.D. 5291 from January 8th 1952, taken from Book No. 58

I will always warn humanity of an impending judgment, to offer people the opportunity to prepare themselves .... The judgment nevertheless comes suddenly and unexpectedly .... Suddenly, because I will never announce the time, and so it comes suddenly and unexpected even for the faithful, because people always relegate a judgment to the future and never expect a speedy fulfilment of the predictions. For everything conveyed to people from the spiritual kingdom requires utter faith which, however, is rarely mustered by people. Only few will not doubt when I announce a forthcoming judgment through seers and prophets, but these few are unable to convince their fellow human beings and will therefore always be few and far between until the event has occurred. The signs and predictions of a colossal judgment will accumulate during the last days. It will be announced again through seers and prophets on My behalf, various signs will make a final Judgment credible, contacts will be established from heaven to earth for the purpose of alerting people, for I do not want them to rush headlong into disaster .... Yet people will not believe Me .... And thus they do nothing to improve the state of their soul, they do not live taking the end and their physical death into account but reject everything that could remind them of it. And yet the Judgment will come ....

The day will come without fail when Judgment will take place of the living and the dead, of the believers and of the unbelievers, who are spiritually completely dead and therefore cannot expect to go on living. I speak often and clearly enough to people, but I always have to do so through a human mouth, through natural events or other natural signs, so as not to render people's faith, will and actions unfree .... It would certainly be easy for Me to speak to them from above, to instil fear and terror in them, in order to effect their change .... Yet it would not benefit their progress, I would achieve nothing else but an enforced faith in Me and My might which, however, would not result in love but in fear of Me and could never enable you humans to become perfect. And yet I constantly speak to you and remind you of the impending time, of the end of this earth and the Last Judgment. Anyone who believes it and lives accordingly is blessed, and he can expect the last day without fear .... But woe to those who do not believe .... who turn a deaf ear to My admonitions and warnings, who do not want to hear because they love earthly life and therefore will lose it for an endless time .... My final wake-up call before the end will reach everywhere .... Do not close your ears to this last warning, for then there will not be much time left .... for what I have proclaimed through seers and prophets will fulfil itself, and everything will come to pass as you were told through Word and Scripture ....

Amen

Confess and deciding in the battle of faith

3166 - ?resNotTranslated?

Time of grace .... Speaker - Forerunner of the Lord ....

B.D. 3276 from October 1st 1944, taken from Book No. 43

Listen to the message of God’s spirit .... A time of grace has commenced, and if you are willing to strive for the kingdom of God you can feel its blessing. The beings of light are obviously and perpetually at work to impart gifts of grace from the spiritual kingdom to the human beings on earth; beings of light are embodied on earth to serve people as spiritual guides during the last days; the thoughts of people who strive towards God will be enlightened and thereby closer to the truth; God’s love will express itself in times of earthly hardship by bringing help wherever it is requested .... Devout people will accomplish extraordinary things and the power of faith will become evident .... And thus many blessings will manifest themselves, because the opposition will also use every means to cause spiritual distress to people and God wants to visibly help them.

And during this time of grace a man will appear whose spirit is from above, whose soul is totally united with the spirit within himself and who therefore speaks what the spirit reveals to him .... absolute truth in all clarity .... God Himself will speak through him, he will remind people to persevere or caution them not to abandon Him. And this speaker is the forerunner of the Lord. When he appears the coming of the Lord is close at hand. This man will considerably increase the extent of grace as he will be immensely supportive to the believers and offer unbelievers an opportunity to believe .... for he is alive with strength and might and will have considerable influence on people who listen to him. His words will ignite and spread like wildfire through the country where he will work. He will speak without fear and hesitation, he will inform people and draw their attention to the coming of the Lord in the clouds and to the Last Judgment. Yet not many people will believe him because most people no longer want to know God and the spirit, and thus their thinking is completely adverse. In short, they neither understand nor make use of the extraordinary gift of grace, consequently the end is inevitable, for the abyss will open and devour everything that does not recognise God and rejects His Word.

God is forever giving, and whatever He gives is an undeserved gift of grace designed to help people to mature even during these times of suffering .... Whether He gives sorrow or joy, it always helps the person to lift his soul to God, it is always pointing to Him, it is always a coaxing and guiding him onto the right path .... it is always grace .... And when this man arrives the amount of grace for people will also increase, because he is surrounded by and emanates light which flows to him from the spiritual kingdom .... He passes on knowledge, his word is utter wisdom and strength and can be easily accepted, because it is offered convincingly and can be understood by people if they listen to him carefully. God’s love makes it easy for people to believe by sending them His messengers with unusual strength by which alone they can be known as messengers from heaven. But he will be attacked from all sides .... and only few understand his mission and stay with him, only few draw strength from his words; but they will receive strength and grace in abundance and be able to resist the world’s confrontations, the hostilities which now take place openly ....

The last days will be extraordinary difficult but also extraordinary merciful, for God will reveal Himself wherever a heart in distress opens itself to receive His grace. And thus it will certainly be possible to be victorious in the final battle on this earth .... that the soul can emerge from it unharmed, that it gains eternal life if it prematurely passes away from earth or, if it perseveres on earth until the end, that it will be physically removed from it by the Lord to begin a new life on the new earth ....

Amen

Large numbers of deaths .... Recalling the weak .... Decision ....

B.D. 5271 from December 13th 1951, taken from Book No. 58

And it will come to pass as I have proclaimed .... A large number of deaths will happen prior to it, and you will look upon it as a coincidence, as an accident, you will accept any other explanation but the right one, that I Myself recall people in large numbers who would fail in the last battle on this earth, who are too weak to offer resistance and who nevertheless shall not fall into My adversary's hands either .... For I know the hearts of people and will never ever let anyone become a victim of ruin who still carries a small spark of love within himself and can still revive this spark, if not on earth then in the kingdom of the beyond, to where My love and mercy also reaches in order to bring help. It will come to pass as I have proclaimed. The scale of adversity and unhappiness will be such that everyone can recognise the time of the end if he wants to. But there will only be sorrow where My Own can be identified, for their sorrow will be caused by their fellow human beings in order to destroy My Own's belief in their God and Creator of eternity in Whom they see their Father and to Whom they want to remain faithful. My opponent works against Me and uses people belonging to him to accomplish most disgraceful actions against My Own .... He wants them to desert Me and thus proceeds by using brutal means against which My Own are barely capable of standing up to. Yet the strength of My love supports them, the strength of My love prevails, even if My Own outwardly suffer greatest adversity .... they remain firm and surmount everything that is hostile, because My strength enables them to do so. The time draws to a close ....

What does not seem believable to you today you will soon experience, there will be a momentous change in every respect which will adversely affect all people and demand of all people an attitude towards Me, the Creator and Provider of eternity. And this attitude can only consist of acknowledgment or rejection. That is the decision which will still have to be taken before the end. I will powerfully intrude into your thoughts and you can accept Me or reject Me .... yet the decision you then make will be for eternity .... And this is why My adversary's evil activity is being allowed, because he contributes towards the final decision for Me or for him .... he far exceeds his designated limits of authority, he presses My Own extraordinarily hard and gives to his followers in abundance .... earthly possessions, honour and fame, and therefore they would rather acknowledge him as their lord and renounce Me. Yet I will only allow those who are strong to experience the end, who are and will remain faithful to Me and constantly accept My strength of love. However, I will take care of the weak by recalling them before the end arrives, so that they will not fall into My adversary's hands and have to do penance for an infinitely long time. But those who are strong in doing evil will suffer death on the day of Judgment, for they, too, receive My grace often enough yet they take no notice of it and consciously join My opponent's camp, and thus they shall also share his fate when the end has come .... for everything will fulfil itself which was proclaimed through seers and prophets ....

Amen

Struggle of faith .... deny God .... end ....

B.D. 6083 from October 19th 1954, taken from Book No. 66

The time is approaching when you will be faced with the decision to confess Me and My name before the world .... And this will take place in such a way that you will all be appalled by the brutality of people who are in bondage to My adversary .... which is expressed by the fact that they obviously take action against Me. The form of the battle of faith you have to expect is hardly conceivable to you now because the earth has not experienced anything like it since its existence .... For at all times there was a belief amongst people in a higher being to Whom people were subordinate. And this being was worshipped, even though people usually had a wrong idea of this being and thus a kind of polytheism developed .... but people always gave honour to one 'god'. And the question of dispute was always which of the many gods was the right god, if only one god was to be accepted .... But the battle that will now break out is about the complete eradication of the doctrines of faith .... in a being that is only recognized through faith .... This belief in a higher being is to be eradicated .... The belief in itself is considered to be detrimental to humanity and is therefore fought against with all severity .... One tries to scientifically explain and justify everything in creation, but to eliminate a creating power .... i.e. to deny it completely .... They want to create a different level of thought for people, and so they are rigorously demanded to give up all previous thinking and knowledge and to affirm this openly before their fellow human beings .... Thus My adversary, who only uses people to achieve his aim of ousting Me from people's hearts, is clearly and unequivocally declaring war on Me Myself .... It is not about the victory of one school of thought over the other, it is not about reforming a doctrine .... It is only about faith in Me, Who must be acknowledged as saviour Jesus Christ if you humans want to become blessed. And you should now deny Me, you should decide for Me or for My adversary .... This demand will be made of you humans and you should now resist it. You shall openly confess for Me .... you should fearlessly side with Me and thereby provide the evidence that you belong to My own who will remain faithful to Me until the end and whom I will fetch in utmost adversity. This is the end when My adversary will obviously take action against Me. Then the hour of judgment has come, for then he exceeds the limits of his authority and then I intervene and imprison him .... Then My might and power and glory come forth and exact retribution according to law and justice ....

Amen

Decision of faith .... confessing before the world ....

B.D. 6201 from February 28th 1955, taken from Book No. 67

There will be no way out for you, you will have to decide for Me or against Me .... And you will have to do it before the world, for the decision will be demanded of you. Therefore, don't believe that you can deceive the world or Me, don't believe that it is enough for Me if your will is good but it bows to My adversary .... that you pretend to reject Me outwardly because you fear worldly power, even though inwardly you don't want to deny Me .... I demand an open decision from you, I demand a confession of My name before the world. And I know why I demand this of you .... because I require faith from you which is alive and which places Me higher than everything in the world. And because through such faith it is also possible for weak people to strengthen themselves so that they can withstand the oppressions of earthly power, but who would helplessly fail if they lacked faith in their fellow human beings whom they had considered to be believers .... And therefore I spoke the words on earth: "Whoever confesses Me before the world, I will also confess him before the father ...." i.e. I, as the father Myself, will draw him to Me and give him strength to resist .... I Myself will hold him so that he will not fall, in order to be able to fetch him on the last day when he will receive the reward from the father for his confession, when I Myself will rescue My children from greatest adversity .... It is of no use if you humans only confess Me with your mouth, but it is also of no use if you only confess Me inwardly and deny Me before the world or are afraid to bear public witness to Me and My name .... The final decision of faith demands a strong will and much courage .... But living faith musters this will and this courage because it is the result of a life of love and love gives it strength in abundance. Therefore I only demand love from you humans again .... For this gives birth to a deep, living faith and gives you the strength to confess Me before the world. The end time will still give you many opportunities to practice love. More and more your hearts will be addressed by your fellow human beings' adversity, more and more you will see spiritual and earthly hardship around you, and anyone who is not completely hardened of heart will kindle the flame of love within himself and happily realize that his faith will become ever deeper, his desire for Me will grow and he will also be aware of My presence .... Everything will gain life which was previously still dead knowledge to him, which he certainly did not consciously reject but which was also no conviction to him .... He will now look at and understand everything with the eyes of love, and his faith will also gain that strength which is required in the last battle of faith on this earth .... He will gladly and joyfully confess Me and My name before the world because he has experienced Me Myself through his life of love and I Myself can work in him .... And he will never ever give up this faith .... He will bear witness to Me and My kingdom and also be accepted by Me into My kingdom when the end of this earth has come ....

Amen

Final decision in the battle of faith ....

B.D. 8699 from December 14th 1963, taken from Book No. 91

You, who belong to My church founded by Me Myself, who stand in living faith and make an effort to lead a life in love, you will also be able to pass the last faith struggle; you will hold out until the end, because you draw power out of your walk of life, which however will be lacking to those who are only christians according to form and who certainly also can belong to a church, but who do not show the landmarks of My church: the work of the spirit in man. Because My right followers are mentally completely differently aligned like the followers of that church, who certainly also received knowledge through their education or through teachings, but who just only heard with the ears, but the heart remained untouched by it and that is why they also have taken no stand on the spiritual material offered to them. But the followers of My church are such men who live in love and through it reach a living faith, who inwardly occupy themselves with spiritual thought material and whose thoughts were just clarified through love in them, so that they move in truth and that is why also their souls will be strong and powerful when the last faith struggle is waged. Only this last faith struggle will bring the separation, only in the last faith struggle it will emerge who is alive, because the form christians will give away their faith without hesitation, because in reality they have possessed none, were only outwardly members of an organisation, but which disintegrates in itself when it will be about the last decision .... This can only ever be presented to you humans that you should seriously take a stand on the thought material which you receive in the traditional way .... you should just once seriously think about whether and what you can really believe or whether you are just followers without your own judgment .... It is important that you think about it because in the coming faith struggle it will prove, and you will quickly fall away and give up all faith in a God and creator, and that will be your ruin. But if you think about it before, then you can still search for truth; you can use other spiritual material for comparison and make some decision. Just do not go through your life completely indifferently, and seek to stimulate yourselves to love work, because the more you ignite love in you, the sooner you come to the recognition, why you walk over earth. You will always have opportunities to carry out works of love, and do you always comply with your inner urge, do you listen to the voice of conscience in you, then you always approach more and more the church, which I founded Myself on earth, even if you belong to an organisation founded by men, which is only then of value for you when you obey the teaching, which every church or school of thought represents: that you fulfil the love commandments first .... Then you can always feel to belong to My church, because then also soon your faith will become a living one, and your thinking will clarify itself, because then the spirit in you is awakened to life through love. Again and again I call upon you to become members of My church by attaining a living faith through love, as Peter had it .... Such faith is like a rock, it will not be able to be shaken, no matter how fierce the onslaught against it may be. It is My strength which keeps the person strong who lets faith come alive in him .... And only those will be able to stand in the faith struggle, only those will endure the tribulations and persevere until the end because they are strengthened by the power of faith and defy all attacks .... And ask yourselves once how far you would be able to withstand if the decision for or against Me were seriously demanded of you .... if you were to give up your faith in Me in Jesus and were threatened with the harshest punishments .... Then only a strong, living faith can give you the certainty that I am stronger than every earthly ruler, than every man who belongs to My adversary. Then you will fear no-one in this world and hand yourselves over to Me in complete trust, and I will protect you. I Myself will come in the clouds and take you away when the hour has come, and you will be victorious and be able to enjoy the fruits of your faith on the new earth .... For through your living faith you are so intimately united with Me that I can truly also dwell among you, because your intimate love for Me allows this .... And through your faith you will become blessed ...._>Amen

The adversary and shortening of days in the battle of faith

Satan's raging during the last days .... Apostasy from faith ....

B.D. 3958 from January 20th 1947, taken from Book No. 49

During the end time the number of unbelievers will increase and almost threaten to overwhelm the small flock of believers. And, with the apostasy from faith, Satan's raging will also become progressively more evident, for people will lose their last sense of responsibility towards a righteous Judge because they don't believe in Him. This is why God will noticeably manifest Himself in order to first strengthen the faith of His Own so that they will not waver in the face of the unbeliever's ungodliness and their worldly accomplishments. But He also wants to give them the opportunity of taking stock of themselves, and thus he so obviously takes care of His Own that even an atheist would be able to recognise God's strength and, with even the tiniest effort, regain his lost faith. God will perform many signs and miracles through His instruments on Earth .... Hence His servants on earth will apparently accomplish extraordinary things, yet it is God Who will be expressing Himself through them, Who will manifest Himself and even visibly dwell among His Own as a sign that the end is near, yet He will only be recognised by those who love Him with all their heart and keep His commandments .... who have shaped themselves into love on earth and work exceedingly diligently for His kingdom. They will also possess extraordinary strength, because God Himself will be able to take abode in their hearts and permeate them with His strength of love. The unbelievers will be able to convince themselves of this strength, they will have to admit that a higher Power is at work, providing they are willing to think about the extraordinary phenomena which the last days before the end entail. However, they are far too worldly minded and pay no attention to the former; they despise and pursue the believers and inflict serious difficulties and hardship on them through which only God's obvious support helps them to persevere. For God's working among His Own will be so evident that they will firmly unite and offer resistance to all worldly onslaughts; stronger in faith than ever they will completely hand themselves over to God and His guidance, so that they will neither fear earthly adversity nor death and therefore also find it easier to bear the pressures of the last days. Where God has manifested Himself once no target will exist for God's adversary anymore, for their faith can no longer be shaken. And God will be close to His Own, just as He has promised .... He will provide them with comfort and strength; He will educate them and promise His impending arrival, He will impel them into increased activity of love, for His presence, whether in an earthly or spiritual sense, will fill them with love for Him and their fellow human beings and therefore also with strength .... But the time of the end will necessitate God's evident working for this, too, will contribute towards the separation of the spirits. It will provide those who are still half-hearted and undecided with the opportunity to decide which camp they want to belong to, since they will still be given a final impetus for this. They will be able to convince themselves of the strength of faith which will master even the greatest earthly adversity and thereby change their attitude towards God by establishing the right relationship with Him. Where God visibly manifests Himself there will be peace and hope despite all the misery, and since the believers' fate is an extraordinarily difficult one, this will surprise the unbelievers. Anyone who pays attention to His Word, who listens to His servants on earth, will change his will and then every willing soul will be seized and helped by God in His love and mercy and will be saved from eternal darkness .... He will revive their hitherto weak faith and give them strength to persevere until the end, until He will come in the clouds and fetch the flock of His devout followers to Himself ....

Amen

Shortening of the days .... No shortage for people ....

B.D. 5471 from August 25th 1952, taken from Book No. 60

People's spiritual development is only progressing minimally, a frightening state has occurred, only a few people are increasing their degree of maturity but the entirety remains on the same level with visible deviations downwards. And if in the eternal salvation plan the end of this earth would not have been foreseen, even the people with a higher degree of maturity would be thrown back into the abyss again. But God has shortened the days for the sake of the elect .... The complete degeneration and apostasy from God can no longer be stopped, therefore a shortening of the days is no longer a shortcoming for the fallen humanity, yet it is still a salvation for those who are only able to hold their own with difficulty, who have to struggle terribly in order to resist the onslaught from below. Humanity is heading towards the end because it is accelerating it itself, because the days are being shortened for the sake of the believers' salvation; it is just accelerating the end because it is clearly recognizable that there is no longer any salvation for people and therefore the days are not being shortened for them so that they could still become blessed .... They have finally decided in favor of God's adversary, and that’s why His children only, shall still be helped so that they will be able to withstand the last tribulation on this earth. And so salvation will come suddenly and unexpectedly for these children of God .... before they falter, for satan will not stop until he is bound .... All possibilities will be exhausted beforehand to still promote the spiritual development of people .... but to no avail, as God knows from eternity .... People will not be accessible to any admonition and warning, they only know one aim, to live on earth in joy and enjoyment .... and everything that could hinder them from doing so they reject and are hostile towards it. They mock God and even more so His servants. The time has come of which it is written, "It will be as in the days of Noah, they ate and drank and courted and let themselves be married .... until the day of judgment.” People truly lose nothing anymore when the earth is destroyed, for what they possess is worthless this way, and what is of value they no longer strive for, but the sooner the life of these people is ended, the sooner they start on the path that will one day lead upwards again .... It is no longer an extended time, for for the sake of the elect the days will be shortened .... Remember this when you, who want to remain faithful to God, find your living conditions unbearable, keep in mind that you will receive strength to persevere until the end and that this end will not tarry, for the promise that God will shorten the days for the sake of the elect will be fulfilled in order to help them attain eternal bliss ....

Signs and wonders of the end time .... false christs and prophets ....

B.D. 6039 from August 31th 1954, taken from Book No. 65

I want to do everything for you in order to save your souls from ruin, from renewed banishment in the creations of the new earth. Nevertheless, everything has to happen within the framework of the natural in order not to force you to accept faith, in order to let you make the decision in fullest freedom of will. But I help you through unusual phenomena of all kinds through which I want to make you humans think. But My adversary will also want to influence you in the same way, he, too, will worry you through phenomena which, however, shall have the opposite effect .... to destroy your faith in Me. If you can be informed about such unusual phenomena then you will also recognize the satanic influence .... Without enlightenment, however, you will be inclined to regard his work as a relinquishment of My omnipotence, and then you may have grave doubts about My love and wisdom .... For what he presents to you will never serve a noble purpose but will result in bad consequences. But whatever I want to use to win your souls will only ever betray My love and wisdom, it will always be something that serves your realization, which shall awaken and strengthen your faith in Me .... Whatever comes from Me must have good effects and will also be recognizable as My work. And attention shall be paid to this in the last days before the end, for many things will happen which seem unusual to you humans and therefore also impress you. And it will be possible for you to distinguish if you are of good will .... For satan cannot hide himself, and all his works betray him by their consequences. Therefore beware of false christs and false prophets .... They too will appear before the end, just as I raise up true prophets who shall proclaim Me and My name, and whose mission I shall also confirm by signs and wonders .... And My adversary will also perform signs and miracles which, however, are very easy to see through because they betray what the true prophets and proclaimers of My teaching denounce: worldly successes, the strengthening of earthly power and misguided teachings which give a distorted image of Me, thus undermining faith in Me. And if something seems puzzling to you humans and you are unable to give yourselves an explanation, just pay attention to the effect .... pay attention to which impulses are awakened in people and whether they are suitable to awaken faith in Me .... or whether I, as God and creator of eternity, am thereby discredited .... and whether My love, wisdom and omnipotence are thereby called into question, thus the faith in Me is portrayed as doubtful .... And you will recognize which spirit is at work; you will remember My warnings against false christs and false prophets .... But My signs and wonders can lead you to faith, for they clearly prove a power Which is well-disposed towards you and Which wants to save you from spiritual death while there is still time .... Pay attention to these signs, for they also announce the near end to you, and they shall speak to those who have not yet completely decided in favour of My adversary ....

Amen

Exceeding the power of the opponent and end ....

B.D. 8558 from July 14th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

The adversary's work is included in My plan of salvation of deification because I foresaw it from eternity that he will not change before until he is completely robbed of his attachment .... And this will still take eternities, for the immense number of once fallen spiritual beings will need eternities until their redemption from matter .... And for that long My adversary will offer Me the resistance on which the beings are to test themselves in the stage of their embodiment as a human being. But My adversary will never gain supremacy because as soon as he exceeds his authority he will be bound and completely prevented from his activity. And the 'overstepping of the authority' consists of him wanting to deprive people of all knowledge about Me, of him wanting to prevent them from making their free decision of will by confusing their concepts so that they no longer recognize between whom they are to decide .... For they must have knowledge, both of Me as well as of My adversary, and they must be able to choose freely, but therefore also know about both partners .... about their existence and about their nature and their aims .... Only then can they be called to account for their decision. In the last days before the end My adversary's intention and activity goes so far as to deprive people of their belief in the existence of a God .... to plunge people into complete disbelief in a power Which created them and before Which they will one day have to answer after the death of their body .... He goes so far that he also portrays every survival of man as erroneous, that he does not accept anything that is connected with a higher being, Which is loving, wise and powerful, and above all he undermines the knowledge and the faith in the work of redemption of Jesus Christ. So he does everything to prevent men from all intercourse with Me (man's return to Me), which is the purpose and aim of their (his) earthly life .... And since people cannot defend themselves without all knowledge of the one Who could help them in their adversity, My adversary's activity therefore far exceeds his authority. For he certainly has the right to exert his influence on people and to win them over for himself, yet he does not have the right to make My existence entirely implausible to people or to prevent them from taking notice of the fact that there is a God with Whom the human being is in closest union .... Then therefore his binding is necessary, he must be made completely harmless for a time, what is possible for My power at any time, so that mankind does not get into the danger to get completely lost .... For My endeavour will always be to help people to reach the aim one day, to return to the father from Whom they originated. I have known since eternity to what extent humanity will sink through the influence of My adversary, and then I will relentlessly intervene to prevent him from his work, and only then will I enable humanity to strive unhindered through him towards Me again .... And I also know when I allow his work again when it is necessary to test the will of men and to put him again before his decision .... My plan is fixed since eternity because everything is known to Me, the will direction of men, the power to resist the enemy and the nature of the faith of men .... which only needs to be alive to also lead to the right success .... But if everything has reached the lowest low, then I also intervene with My power and bring about a violent change .... both of the external creations which contribute to the maturing of the spiritual as well as of the human race, which .... if it fails .... has to cover the path through creation again .... And then also My opponent's work must be made impossible for a time, so that those men can strive towards Me unhindered, who belong to Me according to their will, who have detached themselves from him and who also became free from their sin guilt through the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross and His favours acquired through it and are now candidates of the kingdom, in which I alone rule, in which My opponent has no share. He certainly also has a right to people's souls, however he may not exceed his right that he prevents people from reaching their aim, for the free decision is assured to every soul, which I guarantee to it and which also My adversary has to respect .... Mankind is about to come to an end, for My adversary's raging has assumed such proportions that his hour will soon have come when he will be bound again and all influence on humanity will be taken away from him .... And then there will be a time of peace and harmony, then love alone will rule, because for a long time evil will no longer have any influence on people, because they are intimately united with Me and now also their ascent is secured and they finally return to Me, their God and father from eternity ...._>Amen

Separation of Spirits - The last judgement

2897 - ?resNotTranslated?

Spiritual turning point .... divorce of the spirits ....

B.D. 3617 from December 1st 1945, taken from Book No. 46

A spiritual turning point has been decided in My eternal plan of salvation as soon as the spiritual development on earth comes to a complete standstill or experiences a decline due to the human being's free will, as a result of which the course of development is interrupted and continues again in a different form. This process will always signify a spiritual turning point, in that the more highly developed spiritual will now be placed into a state where it can work and create without being hindered by lower beings, where therefore in spiritual terms the struggle is weaker or completely eliminated, where the earth is only inhabited by the embodied beingness which belongs to Me, and thus the connection from earth to Me, to the spiritual kingdom, is always and constantly established, which signifies spiritual elevation. Such a turning point is also now imminent but still presupposes a hard battle in which spirits have to separate and decide. There is a great spiritual decline, which can be seen in the behaviour of humanity, in its unkindness of thought and action. The time has come when the decision in My eternal plan of salvation has to be carried out, because humanity itself causes the spiritual low, because it has completely distanced itself from Me and makes its upward development impossible. This state cannot last long because it completely contradicts My law of eternity which demands and favours constant ascent development. Therefore I have to separate the beingness which is willing and strives upwards from the beingness which more strongly develops its drive downwards and interrupts the course of upward development in free will. I must deprive it of every possibility of sinking even further back and bind it again in a new form adapted to its state of maturity, so that it strides upwards in a state of compulsion .... Hence a spiritual turning point occurs, a conclusion of an old and beginning of a new redemption epoch, a passing away of the old earth, i.e. of the creations on it, and the forming of a new earth with entirely new creations which again serve the bound spiritual's ascent development. My will separates people of a low degree of maturity from those who strive upwards and long for Me, so that they will live together in a time of deepest peace and most blissful harmony and learn to regard the earth as a spiritual school, as a means of education of high value for the spiritual which is still bound in form, so that they will find their beatitude in spiritual striving already on earth and no longer need to fear everything evil, lowly, because it is banished for a long time and does not find access to people. And this is a spiritual turning point which can only occur when a complete purification has taken place, which is certainly foreseen in My eternal plan of salvation but which also demands its time, so that every spiritual being is offered the opportunity to decide .... (to separate himself) from the opposing power of his own free will and to strive towards Me by using My strength. If this opportunity is disregarded, the spiritual being will inevitably belong to the one that is judged in the end, which is condemned to a new course of development through creation for the purpose of final redemption. And this spiritual turning point must also be an explanation to people in the last days for the great adversity, for the extraordinary working of My spirit and for the miracles at the end of days when I Myself will come in the clouds to fetch them home into the kingdom of peace, who remain faithful to Me even in the most difficult time because they recognize in Me their father from eternity ....

Last Judgment ....

B.D. 5398 from May 23rd 1952, taken from Book No. 59

Listen to Me when I speak to you humans through the mouth of a servant: An inevitable judgment is about to happen to you. Nothing can avert this judgment from you anymore, for the time is fulfilled, a period of Salvation has expired and a new one shall start again, so that higher development of the spirits will be able to continue, since it has considerably slowed down due the human being's free will, who is no longer aware of his real purpose and therefore does nothing to further his complete maturation on earth, who even frequently prevents the progress of the spiritual substance bound within matter because he is spiritually utterly unenlightened. You humans, pay attention to the call from above: The last Judgment is about to happen .... Your lack of belief will not halt it, for it was planned by My love and wisdom from the start, firstly, in order to help the still bound spiritual substance to achieve freedom one day, and for another, in order to place the more liberated spirit, the human being, into a state he has created for himself through his will .... Freedom or renewed banishment, blissful activity in the spiritual kingdom or languishing in the matter he himself desired during his life on earth. You humans, listen to Me and believe Me, you are approaching the end .... I already announced the end to you long in advance so that you could prepare yourselves. But now the time has come when My announcements will be fulfilled, now the day comes ever closer which will be the last day on this earth for all of you .... the day, when the external shape of the old earth will be completely changed, which means destruction and annihilation of every work of creation on it.

You humans know of this, because the prophesies about the end of the world did not remain concealed from you, yet you never want to associate this with your time, you never believe yourselves to be affected by it, until the day takes you by surprise. But I don't want you to be taken unawares and experience this day entirely unprepared .... And thus I keep giving you the information from above time and again, I inform you through a human being's spirit what is about to happen to you. I would tell you far more, but if you don't believe this then more knowledge will not benefit you either, because you would only misuse it for worldly gain and this would not help your soul. Nevertheless, you should at least know that you can avert the worst from yourselves if you appeal to Me for help. Even if you call upon Me at the last minute you will still receive help, although in a different way than you expect. I will send My angels to fetch those who speak My name with complete confidence that they will be helped, yet I will not thwart My eternal plan of Salvation .... it will proceed as it is proclaimed in Word and Scripture .... The last Judgment will be the end of this earth, the goats will be separated from the sheep, the realm of the earth will receive all that pertains to Satan and I, as good shepherd, will gather My sheep and lead them to green pastures, the earth will be desolate and bare, without any life whatsoever .... it will wait for the working of My love and then new creations will emerge again which will reshape it into the paradise of Eden once more .... a new earth will arise which will be inhabited by a happy human generation, and all hardship will have ceased for those people who proved their love and loyalty to Me in the last days before the end ....

Amen

Sudden end amid the ecstasy of worldly pleasure ....

B.D. 5589 from January 29th 1953, taken from Book No. 61

In the ecstasy of worldly pleasure people pay no attention to the signs from above, and the end is approaching with giant strides. The world keeps all their senses enthralled and utterly blurs the spirit; they respect no God and fear no power above, for they are content with the measures taken by the ruling powers, and the more secular their worldly promises of improvements are the more they applaud them. It is the same state of affairs as it was at the time of the great flood; their increased lust for life allows for no spiritual thoughts, and the fulfilment of their wishes and cravings is sinful because they discard all moderation and indulge in unbridled pleasure and thereby completely put themselves into the hands of God's adversary. And he has won his game with these people; he enticed them with earthly possessions and won them over surprisingly quickly. But his victory signifies death for people, death of body and soul, for the end will not be long in coming, the end will come amid the ecstasy of pleasure, unexpectedly and so fast that no-one will be able to think about it and there will be no more escape. They certainly could have recognised that it was shortly before midnight, for all the signs pointed to it, yet they kept their eyes and ears closed as not having to hear and see what they didn't want to hear and see. And thus the end will come unexpectedly .... When lust and vice have reached their climax, when sin gets so out of control that it can no longer be stopped by the warnings and admonitions of God's servants .... then the Judgment must come, which has always been and forever will be announced. Therefore, pay attention to the signs, earthly prosperity will be recognisable which will signify an uninhibited enjoyment of life for worldly people who try to gain whatever they can from the world. In so doing they will find their faithful brothers' admonitions inconvenient and getting in their way, for this reason the latter will be treated with such hostility that a time of need will commence for the believers for the sake of Jesus' name, because the goal of the sinners' attacks will focus on His teaching and because everyone professing Jesus and His teaching will be deprived of everything essential for living. However, this time of need will be a temporarily blessing for the believers, for their faith will become increasingly stronger since obvious strength will be conveyed to them from above and because they will be able to hear the Word of God either directly or through His messengers .... And this time is still ahead of you; it will arrive without fail and must be overcome, because it is necessary to separate the goats from the sheep, because every individual person's attitude must be clarified; every single person must make a decision for or against God, and since this decision shall be taken in complete free will the pressure exerted by the earthly authority will be permitted, just as blessings from above will provide exceptional strength to those who want to make use of them in faith in God .... in Jesus Christ, the Son of God and Redeemer of the world .... People will still have to go through difficult times, yet blessed is he who experiences life as difficult .... For the others will go down because they paid no attention to any signs, because they feared nothing and yet will nevertheless have to face God's decision on the day of Judgment when the end of this Earth has come ....

Amen

Last Judgment .... Act of love and righteousness ....

B.D. 6052 from September 15th 1954, taken from Book No. 65

It is not just My righteousness alone which demands a recompense and therefore imposes the last Judgment upon the human race .... it is far more determined by My love which foresees its inevitable descent into the abyss and wants to put a stop to it. For even if the earth remained in its old form, even if I delayed the Judgment .... it would only damage people's souls which would not benefit thereby but enter into a darkness that would be impenetrable for an infinitely long time. The last Judgment on this earth is an act of love by Me too .... in My eyes this act is people's only salvation if I don't want to leave them entirely at the mercy of their destiny, i.e., to My adversary. It is, in the true sense of the word, a rescue mission which one day you will certainly understand but at your present low spiritual level do not appreciate. The last Judgment and the disintegration of this earth are, in fact, far more determined by My love than by My righteousness .... although this also will have to emerge so as to establish order again, since this is totally disrespected and has to lead to greatest chaos. The individual person can certainly still restore his own order again; he can still become aware of his task and his purpose and strive to live accordingly .... and the last Judgment will not affect him so much that he would have to dread it; for him, too, the last Judgment will only be a demonstration of love because he will be transferred into another life .... be it on earth or in the spiritual kingdom .... a life which will make him happy. And in order to still achieve this with individual people I make it known time and again what the earth and its inhabitants will have to expect .... and good for him who takes these indications seriously and rearranges his life; good for him who will make the effort to live in divine order .... For he will also understand My last rescue operation and regard it as an act of love, since as a result of his life he will also gain the understanding for all events which will take place due to My will and My might.

Only I know the result of an utterly godless way of life, and this is why I must intervene, because My love wants to rescue everyone or provide them with the possibility to free themselves from Satan's control, which can only happen if I bind him Myself .... by putting an end to his activity .... The fact that innumerable people will lose their lives when the last Judgment on earth occurs may well seem cruel to you humans; but it is only an enforced interruption of that which will inevitably lead to death .... so that the souls will at least have the possibility to come back to life again one day .... while it is Satan's goal to keep you forever in his possession. My love, therefore, is the reason for the end of this earth and the destruction of all created beings thereon, and My righteousness will then place the spiritual substances into external forms which correspond to their conduct on earth .... I will put everything right again .... in accordance with My eternal order and will give all spiritual beings the external form they deserve. Only when you humans know the meaning and purpose of earthly life and your task will you find My reign and activity comprehensible, for there is more at stake than your physical life, it concerns the whole of eternity, it concerns the life of the soul for which spiritual death is the most appalling state. And I want to protect it from this death and therefore have to use means which make you doubt My love and yet are only based on My love. I cannot force you into another way of life, I can only admonish and warn you through My Word, which comes as a direct address to earth, and thus all people are being addressed by Me through the mouth of a servant devoted to Me .... I can only draw your attention to the consequences of a wrong way of life and with Words of love try to entice you to enter the right path .... If, however, all these reproaches are in vain, My sentencing Fatherly hand will have to intervene in order to protect you from the worst .... For order must be restored again on earth, so that it will become a place of education for the spiritual beings once more, so that the souls can fully mature according to their destination ....

The last judgment ....

B.D. 7403 from September 3rd 1959, taken from Book No. 78

There will be an end with terror for all who do not believe .... For they will experience something they did not think possible because it is something completely extralegal .... a process they cannot even follow to the end but will be the victims themselves, for they will lose their lives in the process, they will be swallowed up by the earth, and there is no way out for anyone .... unless he still calls out to Me from his heart in the last hour that I may help him. But the people who will experience the end, apart from the small flock of My own, who will be raptured before their eyes, are already completely given over to satan. are already completely enslaved by satan, and there will only rarely be one among them who converts not only out of fear but out of sudden realization of a mighty God Who can help him. And people will also no longer have time to think about it, for suddenly and unexpectedly the last judgement will fall upon humanity .... Suddenly and unexpectedly fire will come out of the earth, it will split and devour all living things on earth. It will be an act of very short duration but of tremendous effect, the earth will open like an insatiable abyss and absorb everything as it is proclaimed in word and scripture .... And there is no salvation .... it is irrevocably the end for everything that lives in, on and above the earth .... For the time set for the spiritual's development has come to an end and much of the bound spiritual must continue its course of development in a new form on the new earth. And this spiritual substance is grateful for the transformation because it is progressing in its development, which was already made very difficult for it on the old earth by human will .... But the spiritual embodied as a human being experiences a step backwards in its development because it is dissolved again into innumerable particles which all have to go the path again through the creations of the new earth, all of which are banished again into solid matter and begin an exceedingly agonizing existence again in a bound state, so that one day they will reach the stage again where they are allowed to embody themselves again as the soul of a human being .... You humans are now facing this great earthly and spiritual change, and the time until the end is shortening from day to day .... You are unaware of the horrors that lie ahead of you .... you calmly approach the day of dissolution which will nevertheless cause so much horror in you with subsequent banishment if you do not belong to My own, to those who believe in Me and .... if they are only of weak faith .... will already be called away from earth beforehand so that they will not completely fall prey to satan because they would not be able to withstand the temptations by the adversary in the last days before the end .... All you humans who have to prematurely give up your earthly life, all you who mourn your departed loved ones .... rejoice, for they are saved from the downfall, from the ruin to which people fall who live ungodly lives and experience the end in this ungodliness. They cannot find mercy with Me, for I admonish and warn people again and again and so urgently to prepare themselves for this end without being listened to, and I cannot exert a coercive influence on them, I have to leave them their spiritual freedom which they abuse in such a way that they strengthen the adversary's power until the end and will also succumb to his power. Hard battles with this adversary still lie ahead and I therefore appeal to you humans to stand by My side in this battle if you want to be victorious and emerge from the fight in freedom .... And I will speak until the last day, but it is entirely up to all of you humans how you decide .... But the end with terror comes for all who do not believe and do not acknowledge Me .... But I will save My own from every adversity, I will fetch them into paradise and they will be witnesses of the downfall because they shall recognize My power and glory and bear witness to it to their descendants on the new earth ....

My return, My coming at the end of the world, is being doubted by those people whose faith is not entirely firm. And yet, they would be able to recognise the individual phases of the end time and also perceive My presence simply by being observant. 'I will remain with you always until the end of time ....' These Words alone should be sufficient for you to form a correct idea of My return. The fact that I Am not visibly in your midst should therefore allow you to understand the spiritual meaning of My Words. I Am staying with My Own until the end of the world. For, since My ascension to heaven, I have been present to them at all times and everywhere .... For I said: I will remain with you .... Hence I was spiritually always with My Own and will remain with them until the end of time .... However, in those days I informed people of My return, of My coming in the clouds. Consequently, this return should be understood such that people will be able to see Me, just as My disciples saw Me ascend to heaven. Spiritually I Am indeed always with you humans if you prove yourselves worthy of My presence. But I will return bodily, albeit not in My earthly body, yet nevertheless visibly to those to whom I want to return .... But since I announced My return, you humans can also expect it with certainty if you believe My Word and belong to those who will experience the final end. I did not make this promise without reason before My ascension into heaven. I foresaw humanity's spiritual state during the last days, I also saw the tremendous adversity of the believers who want to remain faithful to Me and who will be put under extreme pressure, and I saw their struggle, the most severe battle people will have to fight for the sake of My name .... I saw their will and the great danger of having to stand firm amid devils. For this reason I promised to them My personal help, which I will indeed render when the time has come. I Myself will come to My Own and support them in the last battle. And thus many may be able to behold Me, for I will always be present where the adversity is immense and My Own need Me .... they will see Me as a human being of flesh and blood, yet not born of a woman, instead I will come from above and clothe Myself with a visible form for you, so that you will be able to endure Me .... And everyone beholding Me will be permeated by strength and survive the last battle on earth .... But then I will come in the clouds in order to fetch My Own home into the kingdom of peace. This coming will take place in the same way but in reverse to the order through which My ascension to heaven happened. I will descend to earth in radiant light .... yet enshrouded by clouds in order to be visible to you .... and gather My Own in order to save them from utmost adversity and distress on part of the underworld's demons as well as from the ultimate act of destruction to which everything alive in, on and above the earth will fall prey. However, this coming in the clouds will also only be visible to those who belong to My Own, for My adversary's followers will be unable to see Me. It will be a spiritual return and yet also physically perceptible, but only by those who are spiritually reborn, who have a profound and living faith and therefore also accept both My constant presence until the end of the world as well as My visible return without doubt, because they are taught by their heart, the spiritual spark in the person, and consequently belong to those with whom I will remain until the end of time .... They believe that I will come back and I will not disappoint their faith ....

Amen

The Coming of the Lord (to be understood literally) ....

B.D. 6037 from August 29th 1954, taken from Book No. 65

The hour of My return comes ever closer, for the end of the earth is near, and once the last day has come, I, too, will come in the clouds in order to fetch My Own before the earth's destruction ensues .... However, this is not to say that Earth will cease to exist as a planet, instead, only its surface will go through a complete transformation which for you humans is nevertheless the same as a complete destruction, since nothing alive will escape this destruction because all creatures will be affected. This is why I can come to Earth Myself in order to save My Own from this final work of destruction, for apart from My believers there will be no-one else who survives the final work of destruction and thus might be able to describe it afterwards. I Myself will come when My Own can no longer see a way out, when on account of their faith My adversary will openly proceed against them. They will experience serious difficulties until the end, and only their firm faith will keep them going and able to resist, for they will await My coming and I will not disappoint their faith. I will appear in brightly radiating light and yet soften My brilliance so that My Own will be able to endure it .... Nevertheless, that which will trigger great joy and jubilation in My Own will cause panic in the others and be their judgment .... For although they will be unable to see Me, they will nevertheless notice the unusual occurrence that the people they had pursued will disappear upwards before their eyes .... And this experience will become their judgment, for suddenly they become aware of their wickedness and also convinced that they are facing the certain end, which they cannot escape. Were they able to behold Me in this hour, they would certainly all stretch out their hands to Me .... Yet this handing-themselves-over to Me would be utterly pointless, because it would be an enforced faith caused by the supernatural phenomena of Me Myself .... Yet even the rapture of My Own could still let their belief in Me arise at the last minute, I would truly be merciful to them before the very end .... However, they will already be too ensnared by the adversary and will no longer be able to release themselves, hence they will descend into the earth and a renewed banishment in solid matter will be their self-inflicted fate .... Almost all people will doubt My Coming on the day of Judgment .... And yet, My promise will come true .... I will come to you and you will be able to behold Me in splendour and magnificence. For My Own truly have earned their deliverance from profound adversity and because nothing seems supernatural to them anymore which relates to the end they recognised as certain. The end will come, and I Myself will descend to earth just as I once ascended to heaven .... in all glory and visible again to those who believe in Me, who are My disciples in the last days before the end. These are not metaphorical Words, not parables for future events .... they are the events themselves and it will literally happen as I have promised you, and you can await it every day when you are extraordinarily besieged by those who are enslaved by My adversary .... As soon as the battle of faith begins you will know that the last hour has come, for this will be his final act, it will be the last battle on Earth which will end with his ultimate defeat .... Then a time of peace will commence on the new earth, for with My coming to Earth and your rapture this period on Earth will end and a new one will start .... The Earth will be transformed and changed into a totally new one and you, whom I will fetch, shall be the new inhabitants of this paradise-like world .... a time of peace and heavenly bliss shall be your fate in the paradise of the new Earth ....

Amen

Rapture the steadfast in the battle of faith

Coming in the clouds .... Rapture .... End ....

B.D. 4531 from January 4th 1949, taken from Book No. 52

And I will come to you to carry you into My kingdom .... Remember this promise during your hours of distress and wait for Me and My help, firmly believe that I will come as your Saviour when the adversity becomes insufferable. And don't be afraid, for I Am stronger than the one who wants to ruin you. You should know that it would be easy for Me to destroy him; yet nothing would be achieved by this for his many followers would continue his work if they were not destroyed as well. This, however, is not acceptable, for that which came forth from My creative spirit will continue to exist forever, it cannot cease to exist because it is everlasting strength from Me. Nevertheless, I will rescue you from his power by banishing him and all those who are enslaved by him. You, however, will be led into the kingdom of peace where you will live as if you were in paradise, until I return you to the new earth which you then shall populate according to My will. No-one will believe this promise, this prophesy, for when I come in the clouds I will repeal the natural laws by lifting you up to Me in the flesh before your fellow human beings' eyes who succumbed to My adversary. They will effectively experience something unnatural, which they currently don't want to believe in.

But you, who are My Own, you know that nothing is impossible for Me, and therefore you also know that I can stop or revoke natural laws if it benefits My eternal plan of Salvation, thus you also know that there will be an end and that you are living in the last days before the end. Consequently you do not doubt this proclamation either, which I imparted to humanity at the beginning of this period of Salvation. You consider it possible, and you should firmly believe it, so that you subsequently will be able to survive the difficult time, always thinking and hoping for my assured help and My coming from above. Regardless of what evil people will do to you, don't take offence, for they will receive their punishment which will be bitter indeed. They will see you being lifted up before their eyes while death is lurking around them and they will be unable to escape in any direction; they will be devoured by the earth and be granted a wretched fate on the new earth. You, however, will receive your just compensation, all hardship will have come to an end, you will live in freedom and with joy on the new earth amid a paradise, amid love and in direct contact with Me, Who will often stay amongst the people who have become love. And this is the end which was predicted by seers and prophets time and again, which was announced ever since the beginning of this epoch of Salvation so that humanity will believe. Yet no-one takes these predictions seriously, nevertheless, the day will come when all this will happen and the last Judgment will occur, as it is proclaimed in Word and Scripture ....

Amen

Rapture ....

B.D. 5607 from February 20th 1953, taken from Book No. 61

Only a small flock will be able to see Me in all My glory at the end of the earth, and this flock will be lifted to heaven before their fellow human beings' eyes, who face spiritual and physical death. For as soon as the former have left the earth it will fall prey to destruction, which means that everything that lives in, on and above the earth will be consumed by flames which burst through the earth and do not spare a single work of creation. Yet My Own will not be affected by this work of destruction, for I will take them away first, and the sight of their sudden departure will horrify people, for My Own will disappear to heaven before their very eyes. But only My Own will be able to see Me Myself when I arrive in all splendour and glory. For the others I will remain invisible, because no one enslaved by My adversary will ever behold Me in My glory. But by the time they regain their senses after the supernatural phenomenon of rapture, their end will already have come .... the earth will open and devour all those who are and remain disloyal to Me.

The event of the rapture is not comprehensible to people of this earth, for something entirely unlawful will take place, something unnatural, which will remain unbelievable to all those who do not believe in Me and do not know My eternal plan of Salvation .... And yet it will happen as I announce it to you .... I will move the bodies of living human beings to a place of peace in an instant, but they themselves will consciously experience this event and be full of joy and praise for Me .... For they will have passed the test of faith, then they shall receive the reward for their love and faith in Me, and I will open paradise for them .... A new period of Salvation will start and My Own will become the root of the new generation on the new earth .... Only faith can comprehend this, intellect, however, will resist it and doubt until the day comes ....

Amen

Rapture ....

B.D. 6681 from October 30th 1956, taken from Book No. 72

Time and again you will receive clarification through My Word concerning spiritual problems which you are unable to work out by yourselves .... where My spirit has to intervene if your thinking is to be correct, thus correspond to the truth. Only truth has a beneficial effect, the soul cannot derive any advantage from misguided thinking, instead it will even thicken its surrounding layer because misguided thinking does not originate from Me but from My adversary. Yet people are not always capable of accepting the pure truth unveiled, like children they sometimes have to be taught by way of images and parables which, however, nevertheless entirely correspond to the truth. And wherever this is the case My adversary likewise seeks to intrude and distort these images and parables to prevent people from thinking correctly. And thus it necessitates enlightenment through the spirit in order to provide a correct explanation or to enable someone to understand what was offered to people in a veiled form, what seers and prophets predicted on My instructions. Humanity's spiritual state demanded such veiled portrayal, because the unveiled truth would have seemed utterly implausible to those who had not recognised people's spiritual development as their purpose on earth and therefore My written Word .... the Book of the Fathers .... would also have been completely discarded, since the events at the end, had they been portrayed unveiled, would not have found belief and thus given rise to total rejection of My Word. I have always prevented an unveiled description of the final events but always provided explanations if they were needed. But as a result there are also various opinions represented amongst people and everyone endorses his own according to his spiritual state, yet only an 'enlightened spirit' will think correctly and be able to 'unveil' the 'veiled' truth!

The end is near .... and only a few people will be able to observe the developments at the end, because they shall inform the coming human generation on the new earth of My Power and Glory, of the conclusion of the old and the beginning of a new period of Salvation. These few, however, will be lifted away by Me from earth as soon as the end has come. But when this happens much wailing and lamenting will arise on earth, for this 'process of rapture' will be seen by all people on earth and triggers .... because it is beyond natural law .... immense terror, for then the people staying behind will know that they will become victims of destruction. These people will not see My coming in the clouds because I cannot be visible to those who adhere to My adversary .... Only My Own will be able to see Me and, full of joy and praise, stretch out their arms towards Me .... And I will lift them up to Me before their fellow human beings' eyes. And just a few will cry out to Me in intense distress, not driven by fear but in sudden realisation and utter remorse .... I know them and address them time and again, they merely need a profound shock in order to surrender their resistance and hand themselves over in their hearts .... And these are the people who will 'arise from their graves' in order to also be taken away from the earth, because I know their hearts, they call upon Jesus Christ with profound faith in Him and His help and thus they will find redemption from sin and death. And the graves will still release many .... Dead people who will arise into life .... People who will be more impressed by the final events on this earth than they care to admit, where only the lid will have to be pushed aside from the grave, which will be achieved by the tremors at the end .... But what will still happens before that can yet contribute towards the awakening of dead souls, for hell will spew out its most evil demons .... And elevated beings will descend from the kingdom of light and the struggle for people's souls will be plain and observable by My Own, who will then experience the exposure of what had previously only been announced to them in a veiled form ....

Amen

And the scales will suddenly fall from the eyes of My Own, for then they will understand what hitherto had remained concealed to them but what the spiritually awakened person essentially understood. But since people are particularly strongly attached to matter in the end, the knowledge about My 'plan of Salvation' for redeeming the souls will also be little known .... And this alone is the key to all revelations which were given to people in a veiled form. People are unaware of individual periods of Salvation even if they believe in a justification, a last Judgment, and in an end of the world. And according to this knowledge they try to interpret the revelations which relate to this end. And the more intellectually they do so, the more confused become their results. My spirit, however, reveals to them in most simple terms the signs as well as the happenings at the end .... And the rapture of My Own will be the last process taking place on this earth before its destruction, before the complete change of this earth's external shape, which will wipe out all life on it. It is not as if there will still be a long time afterwards in which people can discuss this happening .... for this would undeniably signify compulsory faith for those left behind, no human being would then be able to close their mind to the realisation of a living God and be forced to believe in Him. Yet I don't use such means in order to gain this faith, consequently the end will come as soon as I fetch My Own from this earth. The horror of this will coincide with the horror of certain death facing those who are left behind, for the earth will open up and flames burst through, people will feel paralysed and incapable of thinking apart from the few which only need a small incentive to recognise Me and call upon Me in utmost need .... But they are known to Me and therefore I will have mercy upon them and their souls will not have to share the agonising fate of the others ....

Whatever will come to pass, it was only possible to give people an illustrative prediction, for they would never have understood it as long as My eternal plan of Salvation could not be explained to them. And people's low spiritual state did not allow for this .... My Word, however, has always been preached to people, and My Word urged them to be lovingly active. Complying with My Word, complying with My commandment of love would have guided you humans into realisation and thus also into the knowledge of My plan of Salvation. In that case they would have understood the symbolic descriptions, which certainly were understood by those whose life of love had resulted in spiritual enlightenment. Yet the nearer it gets to the end the more people's thinking will become confused and the more mysterious are the images which their intellect is now trying to decipher. People should only ever try to keep to what I Myself told them while I lived on earth .... They should accept My Words and live accordingly, and they would be surprised to realise that they are becoming enlightened, that they fully understand everything which so far had been ambiguous to them .... for then My spirit can work in them and kindle a bright light for them. However, anyone who believes himself capable of gaining realisation through eager studies yet neglects to live according to My will, will never attain realisation. He will lose himself in ever more erroneous thinking and no matter what he believes himself to have discovered .... he will have to discard it again and find no illumination within himself. Only My commandments of love and their fulfilment ensure your correct thinking, and in that case every Word, every prediction and every indication about the end will be understandable to you, for then you will be enlightened by My spirit, which never errs and always guides you into truth ....

Amen

Close the gates to the beyond

Judgment day .... closed gates to the afterlife ....

B.D. 4432 from September 13th 1948, taken from Book No. 52

Whether you live to see the last day is of decisive importance for eternity. For on that day there will only be living and dead, thus only people who will enter eternal life or be damned. Then there will no longer be a death which can only be addressed as a purely physical death, where the soul, although imperfect, enters spiritual spheres where it can still develop further upwards. On the contrary, on the last day the gates will remain closed in the kingdom of the beyond, for then there will only be living people who are transferred to the new earth, thus do not taste bodily death, and dead people who are devoured by the earth, i.e. who find their bodily death in the work of destruction and whose souls experience re-embodiment into solid matter. And thus the last day on this earth has come, which signifies an end for all spiritual beings dwelling on earth and where a judgement takes place, where everything that lives on earth as a human being will be called to account .... This is the day which has been proclaimed since the beginning of this redemption epoch, which seers and prophets foretold, which is doubted by all who do not believe and therefore also do not have the right knowledge. It is the day when every guilt will find its atonement and when there will probably be no human being apart from My own who will not be found guilty. Yet for the believers this day will be an end to all earthly adversity, for them it will be a day of triumph where they will see Me in all glory and be raptured from earth; but for the others it will be a day of terror, for they cannot escape their fate, they have no faith to call for Me in their adversity. And thus they only see certain death before their eyes and don't know that they are now banished from My proximity for an infinitely long time, because they in no way acquired the right to My kingdom, whose ruler I am, which can only accept souls which have accepted My fundamental nature, thus have become love. And all earthly terrors precede the last day, for I still want to admonish people in the last hour to stretch out their hands towards Me so that I can seize them before they sink into deepest darkness .... before they are banished from My proximity for eternal times. Everyone can still come to Me if he makes good use of the last time, and everyone is entitled to unmeasured grace, yet I don't force anyone to make use of My grace but leave everyone his freedom. But the last day will be a reckoning for everyone .... Love and bliss for My own and death and destruction for all who belong to My adversary, for they will be cast down into darkness and have to atone for their sins according to divine justice ....

Amen

Closing the gates into the spiritual realm at the end ....

B.D. 4496 from November 25th 1948, taken from Book No. 52

The gates into the spiritual kingdom will close with the last day of this earth's existence. For the spiritual being, which as a human being did not pass the test of faith on earth, can no longer make up in the beyond for what it missed on earth but has deprived itself of this grace because it has sunk too low for an upward development in the spiritual kingdom to be possible. And likewise the believers will no longer enter the spiritual kingdom in the end, for they will be raptured while still alive in order to take up residence in a paradisiacal place until the work of transformation of earth is completed, which will then be assigned to them again as their abode. Then the battle between light and darkness will also be over for a long time in the spiritual kingdom because satan’s power will be broken and he will be put in chains again for a long time, which will also have an effect in the spiritual kingdom as a stillness of battle and victory of the light-filled spiritual. But in the last days the spiritual kingdom will still receive many souls who will be granted the grace to continue their upward development, who will therefore still be recalled from earth before they join the adversary's camp; who are too weak and therefore find grace before the eyes of God. The end time will still contribute much to the purification of such souls, and the great suffering which passes over the earth makes it easier for them to depart from the world and opens the gate for them into the spiritual kingdom which receives them, albeit still in a less mature state. But a sinking into the deepest depth is no longer to be feared for them, for which they thank God as soon as they recognize their situation. But in the end the gates will remain closed .... and it will be astonishing how carelessly people live in the last days, how little they think of death and how they only live for bodily pleasure and neither believe in a soul nor in a continuation of life after death .... And when this time has come all ascent development of the soul will also be excluded, neither on earth nor in the beyond, because faith in God will be completely extinguished and spiritual life will be completely eliminated. Then the last day will surprise people who see their physical end coming with horror, who, facing death and without faith, are completely desperate and rage against each other like devils .... Then the unkindness of the individual will break through and the wickedness of men will reach its climax .... while the believers will only remember their heavenly father and await His coming in the clouds. Then there will only be people who are faithful to God and those who have become devils. And therefore the end must come so that an end will also be put to sinfulness and the faith of His own will be rewarded by God ....

Amen

Binding of satan

Binding the adversary of God .... abuse of power ....

B.D. 3181 from July 7th 1944, taken from Book No. 42

God's power is unlimited and also extends into the realm of the one who is His adversary. This spiritual world is also subject to Him and yet He leaves His adversary great freedom by not taking away his power over the human being's soul, yet only up to a certain limit. The human being is not defencelessly at the mercy of evil, for he can oppose it with his will and his love, and then God's adversary is completely powerless. And God stands by the human being in every way if he turns to Him for help. But the latter retains power over the human being if he himself grants it. But God allows this because the human being must become active himself if he wants to become perfect. His paths must remain free both upwards and downwards, he must avoid evil of his own accord and strive towards good. Therefore evil must also be able to influence him and therefore cannot be completely banished in the world. But if the human being's will is too weak and he does not ask for God's support he hands himself over to the power of the evil one, and he uses it in such a way that he tries to completely displace God, that he tries to cast a spell over all beings on earth and is active in a way which now determines God to oppose His power and to defeat His adversary for a long time, to bind him, i.e. to take away his power. For the entire spiritual kingdom is subject to Him, and even that which does not voluntarily submit to Him must bow to His will and His power. And when the time has come all power will be taken from him. His opposition extends to separating the spiritual from God, to transfer it into endless distance and to get it under his control. The spiritual, however, must strive towards God of its own will if it wants to come close to Him. It is neither forced by God nor can God's adversary force it towards Him, but every power seeks to win it for itself, only with opposite means. And the adversary has also received permission from God to influence the essence, the human being's soul, but always on condition that the human being also has knowledge of the eternal deity and of His rule and activity and can therefore freely decide for one of the two powers, for good or evil .... But as soon as God's adversary abuses this permission by wanting to deprive humanity of the knowledge of God and His working, God's unlimited power will come into action and He will take all power away from him for a time, so that the spiritual being which strives towards God is unhindered, thus it can return to the one from Whom it originally originated. God's power is unlimited, and even if the adversary unfolds his power and appears to be successful, this power is still first given to him by God and He can take it away from him as and when He wants. Only one will rules over heaven and earth, and it rules in all wisdom and love .... But the power which expresses itself in opposition to wisdom and love is never divine and therefore also does not exist .... it must bow before the Most High if He demands submission, if freedom of will is abused in a way which exceeds His authority .... if the adversary of God takes action against Himself and wants to drag all spiritual things with him .... Then God lets him feel His power, He binds him and renders him harmless for a long time ....

Amen

Acknowledging Jesus Christ .... binding satan ....

B.D. 3252 from September 13th 1944, taken from Book No. 42

The spiritual collapse is inevitable if Christ is no longer acknowledged and people no longer establish the right relationship with God, for then they are helpless and in greatest spiritual hardship because they are heading towards their downfall. Spiritual decline also results in earthly collapse, for everything dissolves as soon as it is deprived of its spiritual foundation. Nothing can exist without God, but where the spiritual is completely pushed into the background God is no longer acknowledged either, and this is the worst thing people can do, that they deny God, for thereby they also accelerate their own downfall, and they weaken or lose their power of realization for the time being, they don't recognize the adversity they are in. They are only concerned about meeting earthly demands and give up everything for the earthly world which could lead them spiritually upwards. And the result is a spiritual and earthly collapse and a terrible end bodily and earthly. Faith in Jesus Christ could prevent this, yet without Him humanity no longer finds the strength to change, and it sinks ever further and thus inevitably draws the end closer, because without God nothing can exist .... (13.9.1944) Satan’s power is overwhelming because people themselves grant him power over themselves, yet only the human being can be victorious over him who, through Jesus Christ, has a strength of will which nothing can resist. But where faith in Jesus Christ has been lost, there God's adversary rages with increased violence. And his weapons are hatred and unkindness, which have a destructive and devastating effect in every way but only ever through the will of man, since God's adversary has no power over the other works of creation. And thus he makes use of the will of the people in bondage to him in order to destroy and annihilate, in order to release the spiritual substances banished by God in creation against God's will. And this spiritual that has become free, standing in a deep degree of development, now also exerts a devastating effect on its surroundings, be it the natural world, plants and animals, or also human beings. An unparalleled chaos arises, a chaos which is not suitable for the spiritual upward development of the human being and also of the still bound spiritual in creation, and this chaos would lead to the final destruction of what is accessible to human will if God Himself does not assert His power and put an end to satan’s activity. From the time when people presume to take action against God Himself, i.e. to declare war on everything divine-spiritual and in particular to eradicate faith in Jesus Christ amongst people, God's activity also becomes evident, the more noticeable the further this battle against God has progressed. For if people are to retain the possibility of higher development, they must also retain the knowledge of God, Who descended to earth in the man Jesus to redeem humanity, otherwise people would be completely defenceless and powerless at the mercy of satan’s rage and inevitably have to perish, spiritually and also earthly. The decision, which is the purpose of earthly life, could no longer be demanded of them, since they would only come to know the one, evil, and the good, divine, would remain hidden from them. But as soon as satan takes action against God Himself, God lets him feel His power .... He wrests from him his own and binds him for a long time .... And this binding happens in such a way that he, together with the people in bondage to him, who were his servants on earth, who carried out in hatred and unkindness what he demanded of them, is banished again into the new creation, into hardest matter, which remains his imprisonment, so that he cannot oppress the good spiritual, for whom the path to ascent is now facilitated for a long time. Spiritual ascent development certainly requires strength and resistance, it requires a decision between good and evil, and therefore good must always be opposed by evil, so that people can decide, so that they can let their free will become active. However, on the new earth people all stand under the sign of the cross, they are followers of Christ from the bottom of their hearts, they are in closest contact with God, they have already made up their minds through the extremely difficult time of battle before, during which they remained faithful to Him, and for the time being they don't need any opposing force against which they are to assert themselves. And as long as they remain in this intimate bond with God, God's adversary is also bound, whose shackles will only be loosened again by the human being's will. For as soon as the connection with God begins to weaken, the human being's senses turn to matter again, which contains the fallen spiritual substance .... and with their desire they loosen its bonds, and thus God's adversary slowly becomes active again through the human being's will .... And the spiritual battle, the battle between light and darkness, begins anew .... And Jesus Christ must always be the centre of attention if the battle against darkness is to end victoriously; for the light on earth and in the beyond is the spiritual being redeemed through Jesus Christ's blood, and only the one who acknowledges Jesus Christ as redeemer of the world and son of God can irrevocably attain the light, otherwise satan’s power is so great over him that he drags him down into darkness to eternal ruin. And the denial of Christ will always lead to earthly and spiritual collapse, because then humanity will make a pact with God's adversary, because it will completely distance itself from God and this will mean the dissolution of every form which will no longer fulfil its purpose, the purpose of the soul's higher development, and which will therefore pass away through God's will, i.e. change itself, so that God will assign it a new purpose again. For God's power will overcome every opposing power, He will bind the adversary when his hour has come ....

Amen

Banishment of the spiritual

2837 - ?resNotTranslated?

Devils of the end time .... beyond closed .... new banishment ....

B.D. 4688 from July 12th 1949, taken from Book No. 54

You will continue your interrupted development in the beyond if you do not leave this earth as perfected devils, thus there is still the possibility that you will develop upwards. But your attitude is devilish if you are full of hatred and vengefulness towards your fellow human beings who strive towards God, who are therefore of good will, acknowledge God and seek to fulfil His will. If these people are persecuted merely because of their attitude then a truly diabolical attitude can be attributed to the persecutors, and then all mercy will cease because the spiritual substance in that person will harden and, due to his distance from God, will have to fall into that state which causes banishment in hardest matter. The souls of these people cannot enter the kingdom of the beyond, for there is no possibility of improvement for them, only an ever deeper descent into hell, into remoteness from God. And it is therefore an act of mercy that the spiritual is bound again in matter, because in the state of compulsion it slowly progresses upwards again, even if it takes an infinitely long time. The beyond, the spiritual kingdom, can certainly also receive countless souls which remain in a completely inactive state for eternities but which are still capable of change, which therefore have not yet reached the degree which necessitates a banishment in matter. They can certainly still sink to that degree, but as long as there is still a possibility of the opposite, the soul will not be placed into the state of compulsion either, but which will inevitably be the fate of people who have become devils after the downfall of the old earth. Therefore, what is still capable of change will still be called away before the end of the earth, and these souls can increase their deficient maturity after their death if they are willing to do so. And thus humanity will ultimately only consist of good and evil people, and the separation of spirits has already taken place, so to speak, before the Last Judgment will be. For the few people who are faithful to God will give rise to the divestment of people's true spirit .... They will be hostile and persecuted and will truly have to live among devils .... And there will be hell on earth .... The most brutal means will be used to make the godly fall away, satan will unleash all his power and cunning to overthrow God from the throne and exalt himself. And it will seem as if satan is victorious. The faithful will tremble and hope and in their deep faith find the strength to persevere. They hope for the coming of the lord and the miraculous salvation from greatest adversity. And God will not let their faith fail, He will come in the clouds when satan believes he has already won the victory. Then the spiritual kingdom will have closed its gates, for then there will only be living and dead people, people who are destined to live on the new earth, who also have eternal life in truth, and people who will be banished into the most solid matter, who will endure death from which they will only awaken to life after an infinitely long time ....

Amen

Spiritual death - new banishment in matter ....

B.D. 4836 from February 12th 1950, taken from Book No. 55

It is truly better for you to endure bodily death than to fall prey to spiritual death at the end, from which there is only an awakening after an infinitely long time. You can exchange physical life with a life in the spiritual kingdom, and even if you have not yet reached the degree of light you are still given the opportunity to enter the kingdom of light from darkness, whereas spiritual death means that you are deprived of every possibility to still mature in another world. To fall prey to spiritual death means a new banishment into solid matter, a return to the state which was your fate eternities ago and which you had long since overcome when you were allowed to embody yourselves as a human being on earth. Let your earthly life be taken from you and don't be afraid, for it is only the body which your enemies can kill, but the soul remains alive because it is something spiritual which people cannot kill, especially if people want to kill you because you believe and don't want to surrender your faith. Then all fear shall fall away from you, then you should only consider that He, Who gave you life, is lord over life and death .... that He therefore will not let anything happen to you other than what is good for your soul. Anyone who loses his life for the sake of faith can calmly give it up, for his soul will be taken into the kingdom of light where it will live eternally in bliss. But woe to those who try to preserve their lives and deny God .... A short time is still granted to them where they pay homage to the world and prove their allegiance to satan. But then death will irrevocably befall them in two ways .... they lose their physical life and are doomed to spiritual death, which is the most bitter fate you humans cannot imagine .... But you will constantly receive warnings and admonitions, you will be made aware of the end, you will be made aware of God's working in an unusual way. The responsibility towards your soul will be held up to you, you will be made suspicious by world events by seeing the decay of earthly goods, thus the transience of matter, and in the end you will still experience things which God, in His overwhelming love and mercy, will make you aware of in order to still change you in the last hour .... But irrevocably the end comes and with it the fulfilment of what is announced to you. Make sure that your souls live, do not let them fall prey to spiritual death, from which there is no salvation for an infinitely long time ....

Amen

The day of judgment

Accountability on the Day of Judgment .... Redeemer Jesus Christ ....

B.D. 4984 from October 17th 1950, taken from Book No. 56

Sooner or later all of you will have to give account of yourselves before My judgment seat and remember every hour you wasted and lost for eternity. Sooner or later all of you will have to confess your sins because they become apparent and cannot be kept secret any longer, for nothing remains hidden before My eyes. And thus I demand an account for all your thoughts, words and actions. And you should remember this Day of Judgment if you think that you can sin with impunity, this day, when all of you will have to be answerable about your way of life on earth. It will come without fail and take all of you by surprise because you don't expect it quite so soon. Yet it will come like a thief in the night, without warning and in silence, it will come when no-one expects it. And yet not unannounced, for long before I will have drawn people's attention to it, to the Day of Judgment, the day of the end and the destruction of this earth. The fact that you humans do not want to believe it will not change My plan of eternity, for this day has been predetermined according to My will and human will shall be unable to postpone it but must submit to My will. The reason why I speak to people time and again through servants on earth and in the kingdom of light is due to the fact that a day like that, which concludes an unimaginably long period of development, shall not come unannounced to humankind. The Day of Judgment is the conclusion of an earthly period which was granted to people for their salvation. During this developmental period people received a special privilege .... the divine Redeemer Jesus Christ Himself came to earth in order to help those people who wanted to fail in their process of development.

And thus people were able to redeem themselves if only they wanted to. If, however, their will fails then it will be their own fault, and as long as people live on earth I warn them time and again about this fault. Their fault only consists of the fact that they don't want to accept help but are too weak on their own. What they can do they don't want to do, hence they will also have to take responsibility for what they don't want to do. This is why everyone will be held to account on the last day, for they all had a measure of blessings at their disposal which could have helped them to ascend with ease. And the indications of the end through seers and prophets are part of theses blessings. But anyone who does not listen to them, who does not give credence to them, does nothing for his own redemption either. I always admonished and warned people through seers and prophets, and the often enough announced end of the old earth also explains the emergence of prophets in My name, because I won't leave people without warning and they are living in the last days, because the end is so near that all of you would be shocked if you knew the day and the hour. Time and again I draw your attention to it yet no-one shall be forced to believe it, but woe to those who listened to My Word and refused to believe it .... who recognised it as My Word and yet do not believe in the end and the Judgment and therefore do not prepare themselves for the end. Woe to them .... for the hour will take them by surprise when the last Judgment arrives ....

Amen

The last day will come suddenly and unexpected ....

B.D. 5305 from January 28th 1952, taken from Book No. 59

A sudden end is being announced to you .... This has to be understood in a way that no-one is able to determine the day, that no-one knows the day which only My Own will be able to discern in view of the immense, almost unbearable adversity that has also been announced as an event occurring before the end. Many people certainly know that the time of the end has started and that it, sooner or later, will finish with this day .... they know this because it is talked about everywhere but they don't believe it so firmly as to prepare themselves for this day. Worldly people will be seized by a tremendous craving for pleasure, ever more greedily they pay homage to worldly pleasure and unscrupulously enjoy themselves at the expense of others, their wishes and demands become ever greater, and they sneeringly laugh at those who, in their belief in Me, ignore worldly pleasures, and cause them harm wherever possible. The world lives in sin .... And this shall be your certain sign, for you will experience things you wouldn't believe possible .... The evil conduct of your fellow men will reveal the hour on the world clock ....

And despite the fact that you will be able to observe everything and that the signs of the time are completely obvious, you, too, will be taken by surprise, for the end will come sooner than you think .... The end will come from one day to the next, that is, the activity of the world will pulsate extraordinarily sprightly and make people believe that they are on top of life, that they are in control and can shape their life to their liking .... My Own will closely watch this commotion and anticipate the downfall, yet they, too, believe that the Judgment will still be delayed in view of people's seething joy of life although their nature is appalling and heartless. However, the harassments by the latter will grow and I Myself will stop them .... For this reason I will come suddenly and unexpectedly even for My Own, for the sins of worldly people are disgraceful, Satan oversteps his authority and therefore his hour has come .... When no-one expects it the day will come which has been determined from the start .... the last day on this earth, which brings fear and horror for those people who belong to Satan, but which also signifies deliverance for My Own from utmost adversity .... the day of Judgment, when it will come to pass what has been proclaimed in Word and Scripture ....

Amen

Serious admonition .... The final phase of the earth ....

B.D. 5383 from May 6th 1952, taken from Book No. 59

Your well-ordered life will only last a little while longer in order to then be plunged into a chaos which you cannot escape with your own strength. For then the earth will enter its final phase, it will be approaching its end .... This prediction has to be taken very seriously, since it is intended to make you aware that your time, too, is coming to an end, that you don't have a long lifespan left and many will even have to brace themselves to be suddenly recalled before. Every day you are still alive is a gift you should value, for every good deed you do in one day will increase your strength, which you will sorely need to make use of in the coming time. However, anyone who thoughtlessly lives without love and faith will be completely without strength or hand himself over to the one who will certainly provide him with strength but will not protect him from the end, from the last Judgment, from the renewed banishment in solid matter. Don't sell your soul for a price which will truly not make up for the hardship the soul has yet to go through when its earthly life comes to an end .... I cannot admonish you often and seriously enough about this, because I want to prepare a blissful fate for you. Yet you humans don't believe what I repeatedly let seers and prophets proclaim to you .... you don't believe it and I cannot force you to believe. You are truly worldly-minded and incredibly distant from being spiritual, you are completely immersed in matter and this matter will overwhelm you, it will completely imprison you again because you don't want to let go of it as long as you have the strength to hold on.

Try to imagine just for once imprisonment in hardest matter and being unable to free yourselves from it. The thought would give you tremendous strength to avoid this fate, yet you lack belief in it and I cannot give you this belief, you will have to acquire it for yourselves through a life of love .... Then the whole context will become clear to you and also the significance of your earthly life as a human being .... And you would be alarmed as to how much you deviate from the task given to you for the time of your existence on earth .... Do good works, force yourselves to do so, learn to do without for the sake of your fellow human being, alleviate suffering and hardship, comfort and refresh those who are sick and weak, lend a merciful hand wherever you see misery .... you won't just do it for others but also for yourselves, for your soul will come alive and every good deed will gain you spiritual enlightenment .... you will attain spiritual vision and recognise My great love where you still see today the merciless reign of a power which only wants to torture you on earth .... Listen to My repeated call of warning and admonition and don't let it bypass your ears unheeded, let go of your desire for material things, only consider the salvation of your soul and don't worry, for I will also take care of you in an earthly sense if only you seriously take care of your soul, which is in utmost danger because the end is near ....

Amen

Utilizing the time of grace before the end ....

B.D. 5729 from July 21st 1953, taken from Book No. 62

You cannot delay the end anymore, for the time is fulfilled which God determined from the start in the knowledge of your will, since this strives relentlessly downwards and needs to be constrained anew. Every individual person can still shape himself such that he will not belong to those who will fall prey to a renewed banishment and also influence his fellow human beings so that they will be protected from the worst judgment. The time is fulfilled .... it means that the day of the end, the day when the material creations on this earth will be disintegrated, can be expected at any hour, even if no time has been given to you humans, because this knowledge would only result in utter confusion but be of no benefit to anyone. Yet it will happen as you were told .... and the last days will pass by in what seems like an instant, for they are only the end of that which was predicted to you long before .... The days of Judgment are already here and everyone can see it if he looks around with open eyes, yet what only concerns individual people at the moment will extend to all people, suffering, distress, mortal fear, adversity and despair .... Everyone will experience it, for the forces of hell are let loose, they rage and provoke wherever something can still be destroyed and they always find willing people whom they can use to cause all kinds of damage. However, everyone is able to apply for help from God, every person has virtuous spiritual forces by his side which he only needs to call upon to protect him from danger of body and soul .... Anyone who entrusts himself to God and His messengers of light can very confidently anticipate the end.

The time you humans were given for your souls' maturation is fulfilled and the day of the end has been determined from the very beginning. But you don't know when it will happen and can therefore even now still tackle the work of improving your soul, for every hour you turn your thoughts upwards is beneficial for you, since you establish the connection with the spiritual world from whence you originate .... Just try to detach your thoughts from the world, don't let yourselves be controlled by the world and its possessions so as not to allow matter to become your fate for an infinitely long time to come .... Let your thoughts wander into a higher sphere and try to ascend to it. You will be able to do so because countless spiritual forces offer support to you, because they will carry you if you request them to do so. You can overcome the world if only you seriously want to. Use every day you are still given as an extraordinary gift of grace but bear in mind that every day can also be the last one for you and that only a very short time separates you from the end of this earth. For the end is not only granted to individual people but to the whole human race, because the law of eternal order is coming to pass and this law has existed for eternity. What you humans regard as a delay is part of the plan of eternity and can only be assessed as a delay insofar as that people already have reached the low spiritual level before the time which results in a disintegration of Earth .... However, God is merciful and will not pass Judgment ahead of the time .... In His love He still seeks to save people and distributes remarkable gifts of grace which are intended to contribute towards the redemption, but He will not change the Day of Judgment and announces it ever more admonishingly and warningly .... Yet He meets with little belief and the end draws ever closer .... And despite all predictions by His seers and prophets it will take humanity by surprise. And he who believes will be blessed, only he who believes will prepare himself even if he does not know the hour of the Lord's coming .... but he expects his coming and perseveres until the end ....

Amen

Time of end ....

B.D. 6291 from June 22nd 1955, taken from Book No. 68

In My eternal plan of salvation the time is fixed when the work of transformation on this earth takes place, for I have known since eternity when My will has to intervene in order to prevent the spiritual substance from completely sinking into the abyss, in order to reintegrate it into the process of development so that it can strive upwards again. And the periods of time are always measured such that they are certainly sufficient for the complete redemption of the spiritual substance but that they must not be too long for the failing substance either, because it will always sink deeper and then the return to Me will become increasingly more difficult and agonizing, because the means for the redemption of this spiritual substance correspond to the distance from Me .... During the period of redemption a great deal of spiritual substance is released, but the spiritual substance which has passed through creation is often still so opposed to Me that it needs a longer time until it can embody itself as a human being, which is why at the end of such a redemption period humanity usually still carries much of this resistance within itself and therefore precisely these people have no impetus to ascend but increasingly chain themselves to matter again, thus the inclination towards matter also pulls the soul down. And when people of such an attitude predominate, then the time has also come when a complete transformation of the earth is necessary in order to favour the process of development again .... Then the separation of spirits has become necessary .... And therefore I have known since eternity .... I will never prematurely end a redemption period in order to save what is still possible before the new banishment, because I alone know what such a new banishment in solid matter means for the spiritual being .... I will never let a being fall prey to this fate which still offers the slightest prospect of a change of will, of a rescue from this fate. But I will also not miss a day longer in order not to increase the agony of these newly banished beings, which, however, would necessitate an ever deeper fall. I know when the time is fulfilled which was granted to the spiritual beings to become free, and My eternal plan is also based on this. And therefore I also have to point out to you humans the events which lie ahead of you, because even these indications can still shake people up and the short time until the end can still bring them salvation. But the day of the end will not be postponed by this. And even if you humans are never allowed to know the exact time for the sake of your freedom of faith, I nevertheless tell you that you are very close to it, that you don't have much time left, that your life on this earth will end very soon .... I tell you very urgently and advise you to believe Me and to adjust your life as you would do if you knew for certain the day and the hour .... Let yourselves be earnestly warned and admonished .... Turn away from the world, leave everything that is perishable and remember your soul, which is imperishable, and prepare a blessed fate for it by only striving for that which will bring you salvation .... Establish contact with your God and creator of eternity, see in Me your father Who longs for His children, and entrust yourselves to Me that I will guide and direct you in the last days of your earthly life .... Use the last short time you have left until the end .... so that you belong to the few who will still be saved from ruin .... so that you may live and not perish to eternal death ....

Amen

2 Peter 3:10 ....

B.D. 8066 from December 21st 1961, taken from Book No. 85

The day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night .... the day when I will reveal Myself to humanity with a voice of thunder which will be heard by everyone and which no human being will be able to avoid .... For sooner or later the act of transforming the earth will have to take place, sooner or later order must be established once again; the earth must again become a place of education for the souls which should mature fully and reach perfection. And this day has been planned for eternity, My plan is based on the fact that a transformation like that will occur one day because the human race itself will provide the reason for it .... which was certainly recognised by My wisdom .... And thus My power will also implement the plan and you can expect this day with certainty .... it will bring one period of Salvation to an end and a new one will start, as it is proclaimed in Word and Scripture .... Time and again I point this out to you, but since you humans don't believe, since you don't take My Words seriously, it will take you by surprise, for even if My adversary reigns on Earth in the last days, even if he brings people so completely under his control that they lose all faith and in the end are true devils which oppress My Own and cause them utmost distress, they will nevertheless be equally horrified when My Own are lifted up before their eyes and they realise that they cannot be saved anymore, that they will fall prey to an act of destruction themselves, that there is no way out anymore and that the earth will devour them .... For there is no other way to purify the earth; all living creations will have to be dissolved and the spiritual substances within be placed into new forms .... a comprehensive cleansing work has to take place so as to re-establish order, which will also guarantee progression for the spiritual beings and which will completely exclude My adversary's activity for a period of time, on account of which he and his followers will be constrained for a long time.

This day of the end is proclaimed to you humans over and over again, yet only a few believe in it and even these few have no idea how close it is .... yet I will repeat My admonitions and warnings until the end, until the end I will address everyone and draw your attention to it, and until the end every one of you will still have the opportunity to avoid the horror of this end .... And therefore don't pity those who leave you, whom I take from this life prematurely .... don't pity them, for their fate is better than yours who live until the end and don't believe .... They still have the opportunity to attain light in the beyond, but the former continue to descend ever deeper, for I know that they would also choose the path to the abyss in the kingdom of the beyond, that they would not make use of the blessings of an early death; after all, I know the state of every soul and accordingly also shape its earthly destiny. And even if it is difficult to believe in an end of this earth, people will nevertheless have no excuse for they should only live righteously, then their end will not result in their banishment into hard matter, then they will either belong to My Own, whom I will return to the new earth, or they will still be recalled before and then they will not go astray either .... But it is better that they prepare themselves for an approaching end, that they take the possibility into account of being suddenly faced by an act of destruction from which there will be no more escape .... Anyone who reflects on these thoughts just once will certainly also find the path to Me, to the Creator of heaven and earth, Who brought everything forth from Him and therefore can also destroy everything again .... And I would like to rescue all of you from ruin; consequently I will bring the final work of destruction on earth home to you time and again .... And anyone who believes will not have to fear this day either, for he will prepare himself, and even if he is still weak and not perfect, he will nevertheless find a merciful Judge Who will not condemn him but help him attain eternal life ....

Amen
