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.

B.D. 4964 from September 9th 1950, taken from Book No. 56

Let yourselves be introduced to My eternal plan of salvation, i.e., accept the instructions given to you by the bearers of truth, My messengers, in order to make the events of the last days understandable to you. Think about the fact that nothing happens which is not based on My wisdom and that every event has the purpose of bringing the spiritual to maturity. As soon as you learn that every event is based on the individual person's will insofar as the human being needs external events to change his will, as soon as you know that My love is only ever concerned about placing you into a state of perfection .... as soon as you therefore take notice of My eternal plan of salvation .... it will also be understandable to you that I will not let you, My living creations, walk on earth without spiritual care, for an ascent development, such as you are meant to achieve on earth, requires help, since you yourselves are too weak to ever achieve it without help. The spiritual guardians seek to draw you over into the kingdom of light without making your will unfree, because they love you. Thus they are, so to speak, My helpers in people's redemption who, just like I Myself, try to influence people's will so that it turns towards Me, so that contact is established between people and Me which is initially necessary in order to reach ascent. If this connection exists mentally, then the human being advances irrevocably. And therefore the beings of light will make every effort to guide the human being's thoughts into the spiritual kingdom and to inform him of the eternal plan of salvation, which will make My reign and activity spiritually and also earthly comprehensible.

This transmission of knowledge about the work of spiritual redemption is a great necessity and yet can only rarely take place because it can only be imparted from above in all truth and for this impartation listeners have to be found on earth who want to and are able to receive this knowledge spiritually, who therefore do not hear the words from above with the bodily ear but with the ear of the heart. Thus the beings of light of the spiritual kingdom must be able to communicate with the human being in their language, and the human being must be able to understand their language, which is always a matter of the soul and not of the bodily organs. The knowledge of God's plan of salvation is a higher realization, the imparting of which requires a special degree of maturity in order to be able to hear the language from the spiritual kingdom. Words of love can be conveyed to people who are worthy of them through feeling, words of wisdom, on the other hand, are heard by the spiritual ear, which only starts to function in a certain degree of maturity.

And now you will understand why a distinction has to be made with word recipients, with people who open themselves to hear My word within themselves. Again and again it has to be emphasized that words of love and words of wisdom can be received by people who are willing to love, that words of love certainly give the recipient the right to claim them for himself but also to mention them to his fellow human being because I embrace all My creations with My love and they should also know this. Words of wisdom, however, oblige the recipient to teach, for this higher knowledge is only conveyed to earth so that people will take notice of My reign and activity, so that they will receive information about My nature, so that they will recognize and learn to love Me. Only the full realization of Myself ignites love in their hearts, and since I court My living creations' love it will always be My endeavour to introduce people to the truth in order to also win their love for eternity. Therefore I bless those who want to receive the truth from Me directly or through My messengers of light in the spiritual kingdom and now also seek to spread this truth .... I bless those who open their spiritual ear, who shape their nature in such a way that they understand the language of My messengers of light .... I bless them because they have to do a most important work, because they are to participate in the work of redemption on earth in the great spiritual adversity which precedes the last end. And I will support them and smooth all paths for them so that they will contribute to the enlightenment of the spirit out of the profound darkness which is spread across the earth. There shall be light where only one soul longs for light, because heaven and earth work together and are active on My behalf ....

Amen

Reason of the enlightenment on the plan of salvation and the purpose of life on earth ....

B.D. 6586 from July 2nd 1956, taken from Book No. 70

My gifts of grace flow to you without restriction and you could truly gather riches for yourselves on earth and be richly blessed when you enter the kingdom of the beyond after the death of your body .... And I will also increase the measure of grace until the end, I will make it as easy as possible for you to come into possession of spiritual possessions, yet I must always leave it up to you to accept what is given to you to the greatest degree. Yet if you refuse there will be no salvation for you, for I cannot determine your way of life or your spiritual maturity against your will. And thus the hour of the end draws ever closer. For this reason I give you enlightenment in the last days which should set you humans thinking because it concerns knowledge which only few people possessed before: I give you knowledge of My plan of Salvation, of your purpose of earthly life and of the meaning and purpose of creation. If you seriously think about this enlightenment you will no longer be able to live unscrupulously from day to day, instead, you will wonder whether you walk on earth in accordance with your purpose of life and what fate awaits you after your departure, and you would be saved from ruin .... And therefore My constant concern is to convey this knowledge to those people who are not yet aware of their task on earth .... I sometimes use the strangest means in order to present this knowledge to those people; yet where the resistance against Me is still too great all efforts are also fruitless .... precisely because free will must be respected .... I only want to induce people to form mental bonds with the spiritual kingdom, and I seek to achieve these bonds in many ways .... Where My Gospel is proclaimed there the divine Redeemer Jesus Christ is made accessible to people, and the direct connection from people to Me in Jesus Christ can be established, and thus these people are saved as soon as they have handed themselves over to Me in Jesus Christ .... But where the proclamation of the Gospel does not take place, where people keep away from every event of that kind and also reject all ecclesiastical teachings of faith, there only remains the possibility to stimulate the thoughts through a truthful presentation of My plan of deification of that which once emerged from My power of love. For the emergence and existence of creation in its lawful order nevertheless causes people to think about meaning and purpose and its origin .... A truthful presentation can also be successful insofar as people allow their minds to wander into spheres which are to be assumed outside of earth .... that therefore a connection has now also been established which is utilised by the beings of light by intervening and working in an instructive way. I do not want any soul to get lost, and all people are equally dear to Me; I also try to win over those who are still distant from Me, and I often have to use other means with them. And thus the tasks of My servants on earth are also very different, and I provide each one with the gifts he wants to and can best utilise .... And I also place him in the place where My work can be utilised successfully. And the service for Me and My kingdom only ever consists of establishing connection between people and the spiritual kingdom. For it is hopeless for the souls who only see and strive for the world, who reject every thought of a spiritual realm and therefore do not make use of a single one of the blessings offered to all of them .... My abundance of grace will always be poured out more and more until the end, and everything is grace which helps to direct the human being's eyes upwards, to turn his thoughts towards Me and My kingdom, so that he can be grasped and drawn upwards, so that he will not be lost when the end of this earth has come ....

Amen

Truthful enlightenment about plan of salvation from eternity ....

B.D. 8396 from January 29th 1963, taken from Book No. 88

When you are introduced to My plan of salvation it is also evidence of My love, for a realm is opened up to you which no human intellect could fathom unless My spirit is able to work. The spiritual realm is so far away from you humans that you don't recognize it as reality, it cannot be proven to you, and you cannot establish a connection with it either unless this connection is spiritually established. And therefore I enlighten you as to how and in what form this possibility exists .... I present this plan of salvation to you which you can think about even if you have not yet progressed spiritually to such an extent that My spirit can work directly in you .... But your intellect can deal with knowledge and its will only determines whether it is comprehensible to it .... And the intellect must first be stimulated to think about it, only then will the human being's will have an effect .... which, if he positively attunes himself to it .... can achieve the greatest spiritual success. Once the human being is induced to let his thoughts wander into spiritual territory, then there is also the possibility that he will seek to fathom this territory .... And if a person is now moved into spiritual knowledge purely intellectually, then this is an incentive for him to research. But since he will not be able to achieve anything with his intellect alone, since no evidence will accrue to him if he only makes use of his intellect .... then the strength of his will to learn more is decisive for the knowledge he now receives. In some way, therefore, the human being must be pushed into a train of thought, although it is then entirely up to him to then pursue and further develop this train of thought .... And there is no area that would be better suited than to fathom the very "why" that explains everything that visibly exists .... provided that the human being occupies himself with such thoughts in hours of inner reflection .... For he who is only purely worldly minded also only thinks purely earthly. And yet deeper thoughts will also touch him again and again, which he can now accept or also reject. But even the thoughtful person remains ignorant as long as he only receives knowledge from outside. Often, however, strokes of fate or even the fate of the human being's life itself cause him to ask questions that he cannot answer for himself. And then a transmission of spiritual knowledge from outside can also be a blessing by stimulating his intellect, which then tries to deal with it according to its spiritual constitution .... And such fruitful spiritual material can be the clarification about My plan of salvation from eternity, about the cause of the emergence of creation and the meaning and purpose of earthly life .... about the process of return of the spiritual substances which once fell away from Me. If the human being has a deeper disposition, i.e. if he already lives a life of love in accordance with My will, then such knowledge will also appear acceptable to him, and then he will enter the spiritual level and seek to penetrate deeper, he will venture into areas which I will then gladly open up to him because he will not erect an obstacle himself which, however, a loveless way of life would erect. Thus My spirit will now also be able to work in him, and his initially dark spiritual state will change into a state of brightest light where everything concerning the spiritual kingdom and My reign and activity will be understandable to him. Then his thinking will not be able to go astray either. Anyone who acquires knowledge of My eternal plan of salvation .... i.e., anyone who willingly accepts the knowledge he is given .... knowledge will also come alive in him and lead to the right realization. For he will also soon recognize the purpose of earthly life and establish the state of divine order within himself, as is his earthly task .... For this reason, however, it is very necessary that people are instructed in all truth precisely about the eternal plan of salvation, for only this truth touches the human being's intellect and heart and both will willingly accept it, whereas an educated teaching only leads to inner resistance and people will soon drop such thoughts and never take the spiritual path but more than ever fall prey to the world and their hearts will no longer have room for spiritual thoughts. As soon as people live a life of love their thoughts will also move more in the truth and they will easily come to realize .... But since love increasingly grows cold and there is the greatest danger that the human being will not accept anything spiritual, I try to give him a direct explanation about My eternal plan of salvation which, as mentioned, is intended to stimulate the intellect to reflect .... Yet time and again a person's willingness to love will also determine his success, since his will is free and will never be forced by Me to make the right decision. Consequently, many people could still come to recognize the truth, and every effort will also be made to bring it to them .... but where there is still resistance My love cannot achieve anything either, which loses its effectiveness in the case of all resistance or repulsion. But I will not stop stimulating people's thinking and also use the most diverse means, and one day I will nevertheless reach My goal, even if a long time will pass, for My love will never cease ....

Amen

The importance of knowledge for the plan of salvation

God Himself as teacher .... knowledge of the plan of salvation ....

B.D. 3905 from October 16th 1946, taken from Book No. 49

You can receive strength and grace from Me in abundance if only you desire it and open yourselves to it. Thus My spirit will also be able to work in you according to your desire. And it will guide you into all truth .... If you have Me Myself as your teacher, your knowledge must also be perfect, that is, you must be well instructed in all areas which encompass spiritual knowledge. For if your knowledge is piecemeal, if you don't recognize the correlations, My reign and activity will also remain incomprehensible to you, you will be in doubt and remain without an answer if you seek the answer elsewhere than from Me. And thus you must first know about My eternal plan of salvation, you must know about the relationship between the created and the creator, you must first be aware of the fact that everything created must have a purpose, otherwise the creation would truly not be the testimony of a wise power .... you have to recognize the meaning and purpose of the created, because only then will you be able to recognize the creator Himself, Whom His love and His wisdom motivated to let His will become active and thus His omnipotence take effect. Once you know about this eternal plan of salvation you will no longer lack understanding if you are offered a teaching from heaven, and your knowledge can be expanded in every direction. The upward development of the spiritual is and remains the meaning and purpose of everything that is apparent to you, and it is the meaning and purpose of the human being's earthly life .... But this ascent development has to proceed within a period of time determined by Me, because My divine order has to be observed and this requires a limitation of a redemption or development period. For according to this order of Mine from eternity the stage of development as a human being can only be covered in completely free will .... But free will can also oppose My order from eternity, and an increased degree of opposition results in dissolution .... thus a complete striving away from Me and thus a rejection of My strength which sustains everything .... And if I withdraw My will and My strength from the created being because I cannot supply it with such against the human being's will, this signifies a passing away of the external form and a solidification of the spiritual in it. Something that should freely develop upwards must also have the possibility to resist My supply of strength, because the ascent development must take place in free will. If the will is abused to an increased degree, i.e. if it is active in the wrong direction, then this is a raging against My eternal order, and its consequence is complete earthly and spiritual decay. Then a period of development has to be brought to an end and a new one has to be started again, which begins again in My eternal order and again includes every possibility to come close to Me in freedom of will .... If the human being knows about the meaning and purpose of creation and earthly life, if he therefore knows about My eternal plan of salvation, he will also understand that these epochs have to repeat themselves and that this will take eternities until all spiritual substances have covered the course of upward development until they reach Me .... and then he will also know when the state of dissolution has occurred, he will recognize it from humanity's spiritual low when the end of a redemption period is to be expected, for he will know when the law of eternal order is transgressed, just as he will also recognize that I can never ever change this state such that I make the human being's will unfree and thus he has to live compulsorily in My order, but that I must bind his will in a different form, that I certainly leave him the possibility of ascent development, yet no longer as a free being in the human being, but that I banish the spiritual in matter again and such banishment requires new creations, thus also the previous dissolution of the old creations which no longer fulfil their purpose. And this happens periodically, as it has been determined since eternity, for I foresaw humanity's direction of will from eternity and My plan of salvation is also determined in accordance with it ....

Amen

Knowledge of God's plan of salvation ....

B.D. 4778 from November 11th 1949, taken from Book No. 54

You can gain insight into My eternal plan of salvation, I do not withhold the knowledge of it from you, you just have to have a certain degree of maturity in your soul so that you can grasp what My plan of salvation reveals to you. Faith and love must predominate in your nature, otherwise you would be incapable of accepting the knowledge of My plan of salvation as truth, for only through love can you recognize My love as the motive for My activity; only faith finds an explanation for everything. This is why this knowledge cannot be conveyed to all people and yet it is the only explanation for everything that happens, for the emergence of creation, for people's life on earth. Only when people have recognized the meaning and purpose of earthly life, the meaning and purpose of creation, will they also acknowledge My plan of salvation, which makes the connection of everything understandable to them, which otherwise appears incomprehensible. But the knowledge of My plan of salvation is now imparted as evidence of My working of the spirit to those who make it their business to know the truth. But this knowledge cannot be taken from the book of the fathers, yet it is therefore not to be rejected, for there is still much that is not recorded in this book .... which I withhold from those who do not awaken their spirit within themselves and on the other hand give to those who possess the key of wisdom .... and who have shaped themselves into love. Thus I inform them of everything that was, is and will be for all eternity. I also want this knowledge to be spread so that people become aware of their great responsibility for their souls. I want them to seek a purely intellectual explanation of the meaning and purpose of life which seems acceptable to them. Through knowledge I want to point them in the right direction. And whoever is of good will, knowledge will also give him information which he had long desired and not found. The heart will reveal to him what the intellect could not give him. Only then will the whole of life be understandable to him, only then will he learn to recognize Me and seek the connection with Me, Whom he recognizes as worth striving for and as the only aim for the spiritual, which is embodied as a human being on earth ....

Knowledge of plan of salvation from eternity ....

B.D. 5656 from April 20th 1953, taken from Book No. 62

My eternal plan of salvation would explain many things to you humans and let you recognize My greater than great love and mercy but also My wisdom, yet until love is kindled in you in order to give life to the spiritual spark within you everything will remain incomprehensible to you, and you will not accept the pure knowledge of it either because it is incomprehensible to you as long as your spirit is not enlightened through love and a living faith. For this reason only a few will ever be initiated into My plan of eternity, but these will also be able to convincingly represent everything they know and thus be suitable servants for Me on earth, who can make My will known to people and draw their attention to the purpose and aim of their earthly existence, who can therefore work for Me and My kingdom, as it is My will.

In order to know the complete truth, in order to be able to spread it, the human being must also call this knowledge of My eternal plan of salvation his own, and he can only possess it himself when he has received it through My spirit. And thus you must always differentiate between knowledge given to the human being from outside and knowledge received from within, then it will also be understandable to you that the former is doubted, whereas the knowledge received through the spirit is convincingly supported, for the intellect gladly rejects what the heart accepts without doubt. But My plan of salvation is all-encompassing .... For this reason it cannot be explained intellectually but requires great spiritual knowledge in order to understand Me and My plan of eternity. And this great spiritual knowledge is the result of profound love and living faith .... And therefore the gospel of love must always be proclaimed to people first, they must be stimulated into loving activity, into unselfish activity for their fellow human beings, so that only then will their faith awaken to life and love and faith compel the spirit within them to express itself .... Then everything will become understandable to people, even the seemingly impossible will be believable to them, and then he will gain knowledge about knowledge and light will come into him. If people knew everything they would also live their earthly life consciously, yet knowledge also requires the fulfilment of conditions, because ignorance is a result of sin, of the past apostasy from Me, and thus the distance from Me first has to be reduced through love and faith in order to change the state of ignorance into a state of brightest light, thus fullest knowledge. But the light can only come from within, the spirit has to illuminate the human being from within, only then will everything be understandable to him, only then will he grasp My eternal plan of salvation, and only then will he stand up for Me and My teaching with conviction and eagerness, for then he will know the truth, he will have been taught by Me Myself through My spirit and will now be an efficient servant in My vineyard whose work will also be successful ....

Few people know about the plan of salvation ....

B.D. 8247 from August 20th 1962, taken from Book No. 87

It is only a small part of humanity to whom I can impart the knowledge of My eternal plan of salvation, for the majority has no bond with Me because they lack love and faith. Only those people will ever have knowledge of My plan of salvation, which includes the return of the spiritual substance which once fell away from Me, who, in an earnest will to know the truth, ask questions about the meaning and purpose of their earthly life .... They will also receive a truthful answer, and thus all spiritual correlations and people's relationship with their God and creator will also be explained to them, which then also includes My eternal plan of salvation. But how few seriously deal with such questioning thoughts, and thus it is only a small flock to whom I can communicate Myself directly or through messengers, and they will mostly be regarded as eccentrics and ridiculed by their fellow human beings .... But the latter no longer go blindly through earthly life but they live it consciously, they pay attention to themselves and their surroundings, they also pay attention to world events, and they recognize the time in which they live and know that the plan of salvation will be carried out by Me as it was established in My wisdom and love. For I have known from eternity the time when people's low level can no longer be surpassed, I have known since eternity about people's will and when the day will come which will put an end to people's disenchanted activity as well as My adversary's activity. And as it has been decided it will also be carried out, and therefore My predictions can certainly be expected, only you humans will not know when this day is, and even the few who have knowledge of My plan of salvation will remain uncertain until the end but nevertheless recognize by the signs of the time what the world clock has struck. Yet they will not be able to count on faith and understanding that people live in the last days and face a final decision .... For anyone who has no knowledge of the spiritual kingdom, who only sees the final goal in the earthly world of life, has deaf ears and blind eyes, and in no way will he make an effort to live responsibly, precisely because he does not believe and because love has also grown cold amongst people which could kindle a light in them. And thus only a hustle and striving for earthly gain can be recognized on earth, the body is considered and every thought only applies to its comfort and the fulfilment of earthly wishes. People have no room in their hearts for spiritual thoughts, they are inwardly empty and the souls are in great distress. But nothing else can happen from My side but to repeatedly point out to these worldly people the life which will come afterwards when they have to leave their earthly body .... But whether they are presented daily with the sudden departure of fellow human beings, whether they hear of catastrophes or accidents which suddenly take many people away .... they only take indifferent note of it and rather believe that with the death of their body they sink into nothingness ..... Nor can they be given any evidence that their thinking is wrong .... But with an earnest will they could come to believe in a continuation of life, but they lack it. However, My plan of salvation is being carried out, and time and again I convey this knowledge to people so that they can take a stand themselves if they don't reject My messengers unwillingly but think about what is proclaimed to them by them. Time and again I try to rouse weak or ignorant people from their spiritual lethargy, and I pursue every human soul with My love and want to help it gain a glimmer of realization so that it may take refuge in Me in hours of greatest adversity .... And it will still be helped in its last hour, yet it must take the path to Me itself, it must appeal to Me for help and mercy in its weakness .... it must want to be saved before it is too late .... For the day is set, and it will be kept, and it will come as it is proclaimed by word and scripture ....

Amen

Impact of the knowledge of the plan of salvation ....

B.D. 8402 from February 4th 1963, taken from Book No. 88

Understand that everything you see arose out of love for you, My creatures, so that you had the opportunity to become again what you are now .... I-conscious beings who shall take the last short path back to Me, their origin .... grasp the fact that you had previously lost your self-awareness and had passed through all works of creation dissolved into countless particles, but that you were originally created by Me as self-aware beings and shall also reach your original state again, for which purpose the short earthly path shall serve you. This work of return is so powerful that it has to be held up to you time and again so that you will also recognize the great significance of your earthly progress, because your fate in eternity depends on it .... And therefore I initiate you into My eternal plan of salvation and give you knowledge which is not known to all people .... And only those people will ever be able to understand it who seriously concern themselves with the meaning and purpose of earthly life. And only these are also able to point it out to their fellow human beings again and make the great significance of earthly life clear to them .... And again, this is urgently necessary because it is the last time before the end and then a new era begins which will only be experienced by those people who seriously endeavour to return to Me. It is like at the time of My life on earth that only a few are ever receptive to profound knowledge about My reign and activity .... because humanity's spiritual level has reached a low again, that the general public is completely inaccessible to such knowledge and it would also be pointless to provide them with evidence that their existence as a human being required an endless path through creation which was excruciatingly agonizing for the soul .... Such knowledge is only accepted by a few and accordingly the way of life is now led. And in no way can people be forced to believe in it, because such faith would also be futile and only fear would then determine them to change their way of life. But I know how the knowledge of My eternal plan of salvation affects people of different natures, I know who gains spiritual advantages for himself through profound faith, who learns to recognize and love Me because he sees My love in everything and is full of reverence towards My working. And like sparks of light I spread this knowledge everywhere by passing on the word from My servants on earth .... Wherever there is only an open heart I will shine My light into it and thus will still be able to reap a rich harvest when the end comes for the people of this earth .... when the great transformation will take place, when completely new creations will arise again so that the work of return will be continued and the still bound spiritual substances can also ascend. Anyone who would only look at the works of creation around him with open eyes and an open heart would also think about it and soon receive truthful enlightenment. Yet people blindly pass by the miracles of My love and wisdom and might, for they are still completely blind in spirit and their state cannot improve as long as they are devoid of all love. And so long they are still in bondage to My adversary who will do everything to prevent people from working with love. But people's intellect shall be appealed to when the knowledge is conveyed to them of their infinitely long path before their human existence .... so that a few will become thoughtful and reckon with the truth of it and then a change in their way of life will also be possible .... And even though these prospects are very small I am nevertheless concerned about every soul in order to win it for Me before the end comes. Time and again people shall be instructed to think about everything that surrounds them, which pleases their eyes as a work of creation, which was not created by human hand .... Then they will also be open-minded towards the knowledge which explains everything to them but which cannot be explained to them humanly or only insufficiently and therefore had to be gained through spiritual working. For this reason I will time and again inform you humans of My eternal plan of salvation, especially in the last days before the end, in order to give you truthful information about My love, wisdom and might, which shall and can awaken love for Me in you and then also guarantee your return to Me, which, however, can never take place without love ....

Amen

What is meant by "plan of salvation from eternity"? ....

B.D. 8419 from February 22nd 1963, taken from Book No. 88

Seek My kingdom and above all seek the truth, because then My kingdom will also come to you .... For only the pure truth shows you the right path which leads into My kingdom, into the kingdom of light, of strength and of bliss. And the pure truth will be conveyed to you according to your degree of maturity, which also determines your receptivity .... Thus the deepest wisdom can be revealed to you if you are able to grasp it as a result of your degree of love or maturity. Yet you will also be delighted by less profound revelations if you are not yet able to grasp everything My love wants to offer you .... But I Myself always share the truth with anyone who seriously desires it, because I do not deny Myself to any of My living creations and .... as Myself the eternal truth .... therefore evaluate your desire as an acknowledgement of Myself, as a desire to also be united with Me .... But you yourselves will always determine the depth of the knowledge flowing to you from Me, and therefore you can also penetrate the deepest secrets if you completely shape yourselves into love, into your original being in which you stood in brightest realization .... You shall also reach this degree again, and then you will also be immeasurably happy, because then nothing will be hidden from you anymore, because then you will also recognize My love, wisdom and might and your love for Me will become ever stronger .... which means immeasurable happiness, both for you as well as for Me, Who desires your love. The knowledge I can already impart to you on earth will always help to kindle your love for Me in you, yet I cannot give you light as long as you are still without love yourselves, for then your spirit is darkened and My rays of light of love cannot break through the darkness against your will .... Knowing your outcome and your goal .... to know about My plan of salvation from eternity, about My being, about My reign and activity, to know about all correlations which concern your being as well as the coming into being of the whole of creation, is already a state of realization, a state where undeniably My ray of love light has hit you .... which has broken through the darkness into which you once plunged yourselves through your resistance against My love .... And even if you derive no earthly benefit from this realization you will nevertheless be happy to know the pure truth, and you will gratefully accept it from My hands and desire to penetrate ever deeper into areas which were previously closed to you. And I will also be able to give you ever deeper explanations which concern My fundamental nature, even though you will never be able to fathom Me .... Yet you will know that My goal is your complete unification with Me, you will know that a constant striving towards Myself also results in constant fulfilment and happiness and that this bliss will never end but that your longing for Me will never cease either .... Concepts which you as a human being cannot grasp as long as you are not yet perfected .... You came forth from Me and are therefore the same in your original substance which I Myself am .... But the 'created' must first shape itself into 'gods' in free will, thus become My children who can create and work with Me in equal power and will .... And this transformation, this 'becoming gods', is the basis of My whole plan of creation, because it requires your own cooperation, your own free will .... This, then, is to be understood by 'plan of salvation from eternity', and the knowledge of it is already a sign that this transformation is almost complete .... Yet it is only very rarely possible for a person on earth to gain access to the most profound knowledge, for body and soul must be spiritualized for this, not the slightest resistance may be offered to My illumination, which, however, a body which is not yet completely spiritualized will always do and thus not allow the complete effect of love. Not many people achieve this complete spiritualization of the body at the same time as its soul, and such a state of maturity also results in its departure from this earth, so that the soul, however, receives brightest light, i.e. deepest knowledge of everything when it enters the spiritual kingdom. on its entry into the spiritual kingdom .... (so that) all correlations are clear to it and, as perfected, it is now also flooded by the divine light of love without restriction and can now itself carry out the most blissful activity as a station of strength: to pass on the light and strength to lightless places on earth and also in the kingdom of the beyond. And these souls of light are then active on My behalf because they can spread the full truth since they possess it themselves .... You humans on earth could already receive much of the knowledge with a right life of love, because you unite with Me through loving activity and thus may also receive light again through this union, for I Myself am the light of eternity, and light is realization, light is truthful knowledge which, however, you lack at the beginning of your earthly existence, thus you enter earth in complete darkness but can leave it again in brightest light. Yet you cannot accept true light from people unless it originated from Me and is imparted to you by people. But it is bad for your soul if it feels comfortable in darkness and does not desire true light. Then it will also take the darkness into the kingdom of the beyond, and it can take eternities until a light will shine for it, because even then its will is decisive as to whether it will follow the sparks of light which, through My grace, will also light up again and again, because I will not leave any being in darkness forever .... On earth, however, it can easily enter the circle of light, because time and again I send messengers to every human being who are to give them a light on My behalf, yet it will always depend on the human being's will itself as to how he attunes himself to the light, to My ray of love, for no human being is forced to enter the circle of light but he must want to escape the darkness himself ....

The plan of salvation as God's plan of repatriation

Process of return ....

B.D. 8564 from July 20th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

Nothing can be lost forever once it has arisen from Me and My strength .... It continues to exist because it is everlasting and will infallibly return to Me as the eternal source of strength, because this is based on My law of eternal order. However, the being which came forth from Me as a perfect and divine being was also able to voluntarily reverse its nature into the opposite, it was able to relinquish its perfection and shape itself into an anti-divine being .... And so it did and was not stopped by Me because I pursued a plan, because I had a goal in mind for all 'created' beings: that they would become My 'children' which I was unable to 'create', instead, they had to shape themselves into it of their own free will .... Thus I did not prevent their apostasy from Me but prepared a process of return for all once fallen beings: I reshaped the strength I once emanated as a being into all kinds of works of creation .... I dissolved the beings into countless minute particles, which animated the works of creation and thus the strength became active again according to My will .... that is, every work of creation had to fulfil its designated task as a matter of natural law, for I created nothing without reason and purpose .... Each work of creation had its function and thus My love and wisdom and might created an earthly world which sheltered all these fallen tiny particles of soul which gradually increased in maturity because they were intended to one day come together again as individual beings, and this is because they were intended to embody themselves in a human being as the once fallen original spirit in order to pass the final test of will: to voluntarily turn to Me again, just as it had once voluntarily turned away from Me .... And this infinitely long path of higher development signifies a path of service for the tiny particles dissolved from the original being .... in contrast to the fall, which was based on the being's arrogance and thirst for power .... The return can only take place by way of constant service which, admittedly, happens in the state of compulsion until sooner or later, in the state of a human being, the being shall voluntarily be of service, driven by love .... which then will guarantee its certain perfection on this earth. The path the once fallen being has to take until it can make its final decision in the state of free will as a human being is infinitely long .... This path is so excruciatingly painful that his past memory has been taken away from the human being because he should make a free decision and the knowledge of the agony and suffering in the bound state would enslave his freedom of wanting and thinking as a human being .... For fear would impel him into making the right decision, but this would be utterly worthless for the soul and its perfection ....

The human being should freely want to be of service for the sake of love and attaining maturity himself, this is why he lives on earth .... For the human being is the once fallen original spirit to whom My infinite love opens up all possibilities in order to become again what he had been in the beginning: a supremely perfect being but which has attained perfection of its own free will which I was unable to give to the being and thereby the 'created work' has become My image, My 'child' .... This is the goal had I set Myself from the start, which required an infinitely long path of development and which is to be understood as 'My eternal plan of Salvation' .... And now you humans know that you are these fallen spirits and have almost reached the goal of voluntarily uniting yourselves with Me which, in turn, means that you should change yourselves into love in order to be able to unite with Me, the eternal Love .... Now you know that your existence did not simply start as a human being but that you already existed for a very long time .... You know that you did not originate from Me in the state that cannot be called perfect, for as humans you have weaknesses and faults, you are not perfect creatures and therefore cannot have come forth from Me in this state, since I can only create something perfect .... And this knowledge should make you think and also lead to the realisation that your earthly life must have a purpose: to achieve the perfection again which was yours in the very beginning and which you voluntarily gave up .... Thus you also know your task which consists of changing into love, which is your fundamental element, for you are the same as I Am in your fundamental substance .... Admittedly, as a human being you are still far removed from perfection, nevertheless, you are and remain divine living creations which can never cease to exist anymore and whose perfection I will take care of time and again, who I will never let fall and who one day will very certainly reach the final goal of being and remaining intimately united with Me for all eternity .... The fact that you know little about it is only due to your weak degree of love, otherwise you would be fully enlightened and also close to perfection. Nevertheless, the knowledge of it is given to you by My side as long as you are merely willing to accept it .... as long as you merely desire to know the correlations concerning you, your God and Creator of eternity and the whole of Creation .... Then you really will be instructed in all truthfulness and also consciously travel your path on earth with the goal of final union with Me .... You will attain perfection and a life in beatitude which will last forever ....

Amen

Return path of the spiritual to God ....

B.D. 7567 from April 4th 1960, taken from Book No. 80

All fallen spirits have started the return path to Me, which is bound in the works of creation on this earth. As soon as it is embodied in hard matter this return path begins, which takes an infinitely long time before it is completed. But the bound spiritual is withdrawn from My adversary's influence, he no longer has any power over this spiritual, he can no longer press it or determine its activity according to his will, which would be contrary to Me, but this bound spiritual moves in the law of compulsion, it carries out its purpose according to My will and thereby, after an infinitely long time, reaches a state which allows the embodiment as a human being, so that it shall then pass the last short test of earthly life in order to finally become free from the form. Everything you humans see around you in creation is therefore spiritual striving towards Me, it has ascended from the deepest depth, and even the spiritual still bound in hard matter is at the beginning of its development .... it is spiritual substance wrested from My adversary which will one day also reach Me in the father's house, thus it will no longer languish hopelessly in the deepest abyss. For there are still many once-fallen spirits which have not yet taken this path of return, for the beings which emerged from My strength and Lucifer's will were innumerable, and eternities will pass until all fallen beings are completely redeemed, until all once-fallen beings will be spiritualized and able to work again in light and strength at My side in unlimited bliss. However, the stage as a human being is decisive for the duration of the return, for in this stage My adversary has influence over the spiritual again, which I cannot deny him either, because the spiritual once followed him in free will and he therefore asserts his right of ownership .... and during earthly life this right will therefore not be disputed. During this time he fights just as I do for the spiritual substance in order to win it back again, which has already moved considerably closer to Me through the path through creation, where it has already reduced its former resistance and now only has to make the final decision of will in earthly life as a human being .... where the human being can once again use free will, which he is now to direct correctly: To Me, from Whom he once turned away of his own accord. If you humans know about the infinitely long path of your preliminary development then it should not be difficult for you to make the right decision; but this course of development cannot be proven to you, and therefore you also lack the right faith in it, and you are in great danger of using your will wrongly again and surrendering to your adversary's influence .... which can mean a renewed fall into the abyss again if you don't profess Me after all before your physical death and escape his control. The path to the father's house is no longer long if you are allowed to start earthly life as a human being, and it will also be clearly shown to you, so that it truly should not be difficult for you to reach your aim .... But no coercion whatsoever may be applied to your will, neither from My adversary's nor from My side, and therefore your success is doubtful, and it requires your own will that you want to take the right path, and this will will truly receive support. But you should always remember your long time of pre-development, you should try to believe the knowledge you receive about it, and you should now lead your way of life accordingly .... For then you will bring an infinitely long time of development to a conclusion, you will return as children of your father, you will be able to create and work next to Me again in former perfection as you possessed it as original spirit, you will belong to those who have completely detached themselves from their former lord and now remain with Me for eternity .... you will have returned to the father as His children whom He will now also eternally no longer lose, for they have become perfect as the father in heaven is perfect ...._>Amen

The course of development takes place in a lawful manner ....

B.D. 8538 from June 23rd 1963, taken from Book No. 90

You have to go through all phases of your ascent development, not one phase can be skipped, for just as your fall into the abyss also your ascent has to proceed, and that means that every particle of your dissolved soul, every small spark of strength once emanated by Me, has to unite again to form the self-aware soul and has to have passed through all works of creation, because only through this can the union of one particle with the other take place .... This will be incomprehensible to you because you also cannot imagine the multiplicity of My works of creation and because you are even less able to think that the whole of creation is present in miniature in your soul, that you as man would be able to see nothing what is not present in your soul. And so you will nevertheless be able to think to yourselves what immeasurable period of time has been necessary for this ascent development up to man, and if you then compare your earth life time with it, then you can truly only speak of a moment, as you go over earth as man, yet it appears very long to you, because you are sensitive to pain in this time and earth life as man is rich in sufferings and adversities of every kind .... yet not to be compared with the time of agonies, as your soul has gone dissolved through creation .... For as a human being it already possesses a certain freedom again, so that it is also able to feign a state of happiness for itself when it creates earthly pleasures for itself and fulfils earthly desires. But it is then still without knowledge of its actual nature that it can only find true happiness and inner peace when it moves again in eternal order .... a state which it should strive for in all earnestness in earth life in order to reach the aim for the purpose of which it goes over earth. The whole course of development from the depths to the height took place according to the law of eternal order .... No phase of development can be skipped, why I now again .... after the end of a redemption period and the beginning of a new one .... will determine the same lawfulness of the course of the newly banished beings .... that therefore every being which has failed as a human being and has sunk so low that it cannot be spared the new banishment .... will again be banished into hardest matter and step by step has to cover the course through all creations .... that it cannot already expect lighter deformations or a shortened renewed course through creation .... The new-born must submit to the law of eternal order and again languish endless times in bondage and agony, in order to once again be able to pass the free test of will in existence as man. This legal order cannot be overthrown, and no matter how deep My love is for My creatures .... It is about their perfection, and My love cannot anticipate or abolish a law, which My wisdom and love recognized as right and good. I can only do one thing, admonish and warn you men and submit this knowledge to you, so that you still change and strive for your aim in all seriousness, as long as there is still time. That is why I still pour out My favours over mankind to an extent that you men could all become happy, if you would only use them. And I can only always give you a truthful picture what it is about your human existence on earth; I can only urgently advise you to listen to explanations of this kind and to think them through. I cannot describe to you the time of your course through creation in the state of compulsion blackly enough, so that you think about it and do everything to escape this new banishment. For you can do it because I bestow grace upon you, because I Myself am always ready to help if you only show the slightest will to fulfil the purpose of your earthly existence .... But I cannot put you into a state of maturity against your will which eliminates a new banishment .... you must strive for it yourselves and find the way to Me and ask Me for help .... And you are to listen to My word, which shows you the right way to Me. Because with an earnest will you will also find Me, and then you are rescued and no longer need to fear a renewed banishment .... But I cannot depart from My law of eternal order .... I must respect your free will during your stay on earth as a human being .... I can only point out to you the endless torments that await you again if you do not change before the end of this earth, but I cannot force you to believe, I cannot force you to love .... But love and faith must fill you if you want to be spared from the last judgement, from the new banishment in the creations of the new earth ...._>Amen

Spiritual help on the way back .... free will ....

B.D. 8891 from December 6th 1964, taken from Book No. 93

Countless worlds have already arisen to receive the endless crowd of fallen original spirits, which as unredeemed need just as endless many creations to be able to cover their course of development in them. But all these worlds have also been arranged by spirits of light that those entities could shelter in their creations because in it lies the happiness of the light beings to constantly put out creations for the fallen spiritual, which each fulfils its purpose to bring the spiritual bound in it to maturity. And so the spiritual world is in permanent connection with the fallen spiritual, only that those beings feel an incomparable happiness thereby, while the fallen spiritual goes and must go an agonizing way to also once reach the aim to likewise participate creatively in what is still wretched. The world of light therefore uses the power, by which it is constantly flooded, to create always new creations, because still no end is foreseeable, there are still so many unbound substances, which wait to be caught by the love radiation of those beings .... which still buzz around unbound in the universe, which first have to be condensed to matter, to now be able to start the way of development. Because matter is spiritual power, which has condensed itself to form. Therefore the spiritual must let itself be captured and therefore give up the first resistance, which consisted of repelling all love power. The light beings surround this spiritual substance with their love power, without forcing it to give up its resistance, but love exerts a beneficent effect on that still resisting spiritual, so that it lets itself be captured, therefore the first resistance is broken. And then the spiritual goes through all creations in the mandatory state, what is certainly extremely agonizing, but not to be avoided, because this course once leads to the last perfection. And the spiritual being full of light will always help everyone who has sunk into the abyss to ascend from the abyss, even if this path requires endless times before he reaches the final aim .... the embodiment as man .... as a human being. But then the once fallen original spirit is again complete in all its particles, it lacks not the slightest spiritual substance, it is what it was before its fall to the deep .... however one thing is not yet present in him: He is still completely devoid of all love, without which there is no upward development. That is why God accomplished the greatest work of love when He created man and added to him a spark of His spirit of God, which now enables man to change again to his original being, to become again as it was in the beginning. That now also again the light beings do not slacken in their efforts to lead man to the highest possible maturity, that goes without saying, because that is exactly their happiness, to grant help to men in the last stage, to also help them to happiness, although free will can also prevent it and man again prolongs the time of distance from God endlessly .... But the love of those beings is so great that it is bound by law, that it can only then have an effect when free will of man allows it. But would you men know about your course of development or believe it when you are informed of it, then you would use all power to once be able to leave the cover as man, to again be able to be accepted into the kingdom of light and to become partakers of all glory. But proof cannot be given to you, but you will also not be able to say to have remained ignorant. And so it is up to your free will again, as it was once when you fell into the abyss. You also used your will wrongly there and had to atone for it through eternities, but you can also now expect no better fate when you again fail in your will. But you will experience help at any time, only you must be of good will yourselves that you also want to let yourselves be helped ...._>Amen

God's plan of Salvation .... Original sin .... Adam's fall .... Work of redemption ....

B.D. 6973 from November 20th 1957, taken from Book No. 74

The work of redemption began with the emergence of the creations in the universe .... it began with binding the hardened spiritual substance in the form, thus with the shaping of material forms which at first were spiritual in substance themselves and then also sheltered spiritual substances within themselves which had already gone through a certain process of development. The spirits which once had deserted God had distanced themselves from Him to a point that God's strength was no longer able to touch them, therefore they became immobile and rigid, they became hardened in themselves. And during this time they belonged to God's adversary and would never have changed their situation. But it was God's plan to provide these hardened spirits with an opportunity to attain a state of splendour which surpassed their past beatitude by far .... God wanted to shape His 'living creations' into 'children' .... which, however, had to be achieved by the creature itself. Hence the created being, which had rebelled against God in free will and consequently fell abysmally low, had the opportunity to completely voluntarily ascend to maturity again in order to then be able to achieve the work of deification .... but it had to be lifted out of the abyss since it was no longer capable of ascending by itself due to its total lack of strength. And God provided this help for the fallen spirits by letting the creation arise, by shaping the hardened spiritual substance through His will into many different kinds of creations. And with these creations began the redemption or the return of the spirits to God.

Now the fallen spirits were guaranteed ascension up to a certain level, because divine will is the decisive factor in this plan of creation and the adversary has no influence whatsoever on the bound spiritual substances within the works of creation.

Even the continued ascent as a human being would have been guaranteed had the first human beings faithfully lived according to God's easy commandment and resisted the temptations by God's opponent .... for which the first human beings, Adam and Eve, certainly had the strength .... But since they were allowed to use their free will and let themselves be beguiled by the adversary, they failed and thereby made the work of redemption far more difficult for the whole of humanity than it should have been had they used their will correctly. Hence the people who followed were considerably weakened by this sin of the first human beings, they no longer had the strength which the former had at their disposal and to a certain extent carried the burden of this sin, so God's adversary had achieved a great deal:

He endangered the prospect of people .... the once fallen original spirits .... ever attaining the final goal of deification. And therefore God provided help for them again .... He sent His Son to earth, i.e., a supreme being of light started his process on earth in order to fulfil the conditions as a human being which the first people neglected to fulfil and which devastated them .... He thereby wanted to help them escape their state of weakness, He wanted to enable them again to reach the deification. It was the man Jesus in Whom the Divine Love Itself took abode .... the Father Who wanted to help His children liberate themselves form the adversary and to come back to Him .... He sent His Son to earth, a being Who likewise emerged from His creative strength and Who had to enter a human shell in order to first become a vessel for the eternal Spirit of God Who in this human form wanted to bring salvation to His living creations. But again the human being's free will remains decisive .... For now he first has to acknowledge the divine Redeemer Jesus Christ and accept His redeeming help if he wants to reach the goal of unification with God, of childship to God, which is a state of supreme perfection and beatitude. All fallen spirits are able to reach the highest pinnacle, because the act of Salvation by the man Jesus has demonstrated that a human being's will is able to offer resistance to his opponent and arch enemy, that love is the strength of resistance which everyone can kindle in himself .... and because every human being need only appeal to the divine Redeemer for help in order to then also emerge as a conqueror of death and attain the life which can only be found in unity with God .... and which also proves the release from God's adversary, who only ever endeavours to keep all created beings in the abyss, in the state of death. Hence 'redemption' means 'release' from the one who brought death into the world, redemption means accepting Jesus Christ's help, for without him the human being is weak as a result of the original sin and the sin of his ancestral parents, which were only atoned for by Jesus Christ's death on the cross ....

Jesus' act of Salvation was the beginning of a new phase in the work of return ....

B.D. 8600 from August 29th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

When the human being Jesus died on the cross a new phase in the work of My living creations' return began, for until then all people were still living in the spiritual darkness that My adversary had spread across all fallen spirits .... All human beings were still afflicted by the original sin and no one was able to approach Me since My justice did not allow it until the original sin had been redeemed. However, countless people had already walked across earth and amongst them were also a few of good will but without enough strength of their own to release themselves from My adversary, since they all had been unable to establish the right kind of contact with Me due to their lack of love ....

They were controlled by selfish love as a sign of their affiliation with My adversary .... And neither did they know the cause for their earthly existence, their apostasy from Me .... they were spiritually utterly ignorant yet in a worldly sense extremely busy, and therefore they forever endeavoured to gain advantages at other people's expense .... They lacked selfless love through which they could have attained a higher state of maturity. Although the few exceptions in fact sensed their spiritual hardship and also acknowledged a God and Creator above themselves they did not recognise Me as a God of love, but only as a God of vengeance and wrath. People would never have been able to progress in their spiritual development; they would always and forever have stayed the same selfish generation which was unable to attain higher awareness as long as the burden of the original sin pushed it down .... My adversary would always have kept people on the ground if a Saviour had not arrived for the sake of the few who felt wretched and in their distress had called for a Saviour.

And a possibility to establish a connection with Me was indeed meant to be created again one day which, however, should now apply to the Father .... People should be able to call like children to the Father, whereas before they had only recognised in their God and Creator a Power they refused to bow down to, because they still harboured this opposition against Me as result of their past original sin .... A relationship of love should become possible again between the living creations and Myself which, however, had to be established by people themselves through their willingness to love. But prior to Jesus' crucifixion a human being was only very rarely willing to love and then he was excessively tortured by My adversary .... so that he almost despaired of My existence. But knowing his will I helped him and took him from earth ....

Jesus Christ's act of Salvation brought an era of people's greatest distance from Me to an end .... His crucifixion atoned for the original sin of all fallen beings, and now, in the stage of human beings, they are able to establish the right kind of relationship with Me again if, with the help of Jesus Christ, they live a life of love, if they release themselves from the adversary's shackles through the blood He shed on the cross and thus see in Me the Father and are urged towards Me by love .... towards the relationship they once voluntarily severed and thereby became wretched. Jesus' death on the cross brought humanity's hopeless state to an end .... A new era began where the human being only needed to take the path to Jesus in order to be guided out of My adversary's dark domain .... where the gate into the kingdom of light was opened again too .... It was now for the human being possible again that he could change himself, so that he could shape his nature into love, so that he could become again what he had been before his apostasy from Me ....

The first redeemed souls returned to Me, I was able to admit them into My kingdom of light and bliss, which would never have been possible if Jesus had not redeemed the original sin through His death on the cross .... For I Am .... as supremely perfect .... also righteous and therefore could not cancel an unredeemed guilt. Much time had passed when people almost broke down under the burden of sin yet did not recognise their guilt and therefore repeatedly revolted against Me, Whom they could not deny as a 'Power' but to Whom they did not surrender with love. For they once rejected love, and all they had left was mere selfish love .... the wrongly directed love transferred to them by My opponent. Hence, in their nature they still belonged to him entirely .... And this nature first had to change, which was only possible after Jesus' crucifixion, Who acquired for them the will and the strength to rise and relinquish their selfish love .... All these were purely spiritual processes, for in an earthly-human sense they certainly had an enjoyable and good life, yet no one had any consideration for his fellow human being, instead everyone just thought of himself, and the strong person oppressed the weak who was unable to defend himself, because My adversary delighted in seeing the wretched state of the souls he had plunged into the abyss, for he himself was completely without love but full of hatred and animosity .... And his nature also reflected itself in people's nature .... Anyone who was strong likewise oppressed other people and knew no mercy for he had no love, just like his lord .... the lord of darkness .... was without love.

Jesus, however, tried to guide people onto the right path through love. Jesus lived and taught love and demonstrated to them that love was a strength which even defeated the adversary, and that people can only release themselves from him through love. Thus the human being Jesus had exemplified a life of love for the first time for people, and then He accomplished the greatest work of love and mercy by sacrificing Himself on the cross on behalf of humanity's sins, so that they would be set free and through a right kind of life attain strength and light again in order to then travel the last path into their true home, which Jesus had preceded through His death on the cross .... Whom they now only needed to follow in order to enter My kingdom in a liberated state, returning to Me into the Father's house, to the Father from Whose love they had emerged and in Whose love they will now stay forever ....

Amen

God's plan of salvation proves His love ....

B.D. 6253 from May 9th 1955, taken from Book No. 67

In My eternal plan of salvation you recognize My never-ending will of love which constantly seeks to promote, which does not allow itself to be discouraged, which is constantly active and expresses itself in ever new creations. There can never be a standstill with Me, but neither can there be a backward development which would be based on My will, for only progressive development is possible from Me as long as the will of the freely created entity does not prevent it by opposing Me. I have set Myself an aim, I pursue this aim and one day I will achieve it .... that all beingness which has fallen into the abyss through its own fault will ascend again, that it will shine in brightest light, that it will move in fullest freedom with unheard-of strength and create and work in unlimited bliss .... To anyone who knows about My plan of salvation nothing seems inexplicable any more, no matter what he experiences in his earthly existence, for he sees My will behind everything and knows that it only ever aims at progress but never at a decline. However, it is often difficult for a person to bring his own suffering, the sometimes oppressive earthly walk, together with the love of a God .... And this already requires a certain realization, the knowledge of My plan of salvation and of My greater than great love which applies to all My living creations. For this love explains everything, and where God's love is doubted the human being also faces events in complete ignorance or with a lack of understanding, and he loses all faith .... Nothing is arbitrary, My love and wisdom underlies every happening, everything serves the perfection of the spiritual being, it serves its return and perfection, for My aim is the deification of all beings which were once created by Me. Only those who know about My plan of salvation also know about the deficient state of all beings and creations of all kinds on earth .... And nothing seems implausible to anyone who knows about the final aim of all this, for he has already reached a certain degree of maturity, otherwise the knowledge of My process of salvation would be alien to him. But the person who knows about it is happy, for he also knows that he is seized by My love and sees an aim before his eyes towards which he is striving. No worldly knowledge can satisfy a person as much as spiritual knowledge does, for only now is the purpose of existence known to the person and he sees everything in a different light than the person to whom that healing process is unknown, who only ever regards earthly life as an end in itself and becomes increasingly poorer the more he strives for and possesses worldly goods. Knowing My infinite love and feeling seized by it gives the human being inner peace and the certainty that he was not only created for this earthly world .... And his aim will also only ever remain Me Myself, for he feels the unity with Me, he seeks to restore it as it was in the beginning .... he consciously strives towards Me and he will certainly reach his aim .... I will unite Myself with him and fill him with happiness now and forever ....

Amen

Repatriation plan .... free will ....

B.D. 6497 from March 10th 1956, taken from Book No. 69

My plan of salvation is designed in unsurpassable wisdom so that it will certainly lead to the aim one day. Yet freedom of will is always taken into account, which is why, despite greatest wisdom and endless love, it can take eternities until the spiritual will fully belongs to Me. But free will requires such a plan, which always adapts itself to that will and opens up the greatest possibilities for the right direction of will. My wisdom, however, saw the direction of the will at all times and My love was therefore always able to plan according to this will .... so that success was and is always recorded and that again and again spiritual things reach perfection, thus they successfully cover the path of salvation. Yet I also saw the many failures which I have to tolerate because they are based on free will but which have already motivated Me from eternity to everlasting activity of love, thus My plan of salvation could therefore already be determined from eternity. An infinite number of beings had fallen and the depths of their stay are endless. The path back is infinitely long and yet the aim is once attainable. I recognized from eternity what demands were made on My love on the part of those beings which do not want to give up their resistance and yet are not left in the abyss by Me forever .... Only My love can rescue them from this, and this love therefore devised a plan which will certainly bring all fallen beings back to Me but which will also require eternities until all fallen beings have been completely redeemed. Love, wisdom and might will always accomplish this work of return with respect for the free will of that which once emerged from Me as a supremely perfect being. The human being can certainly take note of My plan of salvation and then gain the conviction that nothing is arbitrary, that everything is based on My will of love and My wisdom. But he can never overlook My rule and activity for the purpose of the fallen person's return in its full extent, he can only be informed in a few words that My love will never rest until everything that once fell can be active in fullest freedom and in light and strength .... and that everything takes place according to plan in order to achieve this aim, that every thought, every direction of will and every stage of development is known to Me, that I know about everything and accordingly approach the human being in earthly life such that he can accomplish the return to Me if he wants it himself .... Everything is included in My plan of salvation from eternity but coercion is never exerted, which is why even the most favourable opportunities can remain unused and the time of distance from Me is prolonged by the being itself. Hence it is free will which is decisive in which time the once fallen being's redemption takes place .... As long as you humans believe that you are unfree in your thinking and willing, you still have little knowledge .... as a result of your former fall .... It is precisely free will which prevents Me from redeeming you abruptly, which My infinite love would certainly like to do but then the 'characteristic' of divinity, free will, would be taken away from you and you would eternally no longer be able to become perfect beings but would only ever be directed beings determined by My will which do not correspond to My aim, My divine plan of love. People who dispute a free will are still very darkened in spirit, for they are still under the influence of My adversary who has transferred his will onto them .... But I gave the spiritual being begotten through its will the right of self-determination, so that it recognized itself and could freely decide for it or for Me .... And it still fell and thus became guilty itself in free will. If, therefore, as a human being it still considers itself dependent on external power which determines its will, then it is also still very much in that power .... but it can detach itself from it precisely because it has free will which would be strengthened remarkably quickly through the call of Jesus Christ, Who died for the human being to be able to strengthen his weakened will at any time. And therefore, with the help of the divine redeemer the return to Me can take place in a shorter time, but eternities can still pass by, because free will is decisive .... But everything is planned in My eternal plan of salvation, and My love, wisdom and omnipotence will surely reach the aim one day ....

Amen

God's plan of Salvation is based on the human being's free will ....

B.D. 7277 from February 8th 1959, taken from Book No. 77

My work of returning the fallen spirits is based on My eternal plan of Salvation and according to this plan of Salvation everything will run its course over infinitely long periods of time for which you humans lack all concepts. My plan of Salvation has been designed again in love and wisdom and My power implements it, consequently, one day I will reach My goal .... that all fallen spiritual beings will start the path of return to Me into the Father's house. Yet the implementation is not determined by My will alone, but the free will of the beings, which were once created in all perfection despite which they fell away from Me, decides the length of time this said return to Me requires, thus every single being determines for itself how much time its process of development, its return to Me, will take. Therefore, My plan of Salvation is also based on the free will of each individual being .... which is a fact that is inconceivable for you humans but which I deemed to be essential if one day I want I to be surrounded by truly free and totally devoted children to Me, because this is the purpose and goal of My eternal plan of Salvation .... I knew each and every being's will from the beginning, both as original spirits as well human beings later, when the original spirit has had to prove itself and once again can decide of its own free will which path it wants to take .... I knew your direction of will and was able to design My plan of Salvation accordingly, which includes your every thought and expression of will and is based on these accordingly. And truly, it was planned such that every being can cover its process of development with ease, because I will always helpfully stand by its side when it is at risk of making a wrong decision. Time and again it will be able to make a choice but not be forced to make the right decision, yet his destiny will affect a person such that the right decision will always be closer at hand, that inwardly he will be urged to take the right path but that this urging may never be felt as compulsion.

My love applies to every individual being, and whatever I can do to shorten its course of development until the final return to Me will certainly be done by Me. And thus no person will ever be able to say that his situation in life forced him to make an opposing decision .... My wisdom is truly beyond all doubt, and thus I foresaw all opportunities which served a person to make the right decision and based My plan of Salvation on this. Admittedly, I also forever know the direction of every individual's will but during his time on earth as a human being I do not want to know it, and thus the human being can nevertheless make a free decision, for precisely because of his wrong will I let destiny so affect his life that he has every opportunity to change his will, and My side will eagerly support him in this .... for 'there is joy in My kingdom over one sinner that repenteth ....' This should be understood as a complete change of will which is indeed intended in My plan of Salvation but does not definitely determine this said plan of Salvation. You are completely free during your life on earth, and even if I know .... you are by no means bound, because originally you were entirely free beings and this freedom will not be taken from you as soon as you live on earth as self-aware beings again or even when you enter the kingdom of the beyond .... No force of any kind is exerted on you, and what or how you are was created by yourselves. But My plan of Salvation also plans an assured and final return into the Father's house .... However, the day will come .... it is just that the time it takes can be brief but also very lengthy, and this is taken into account in My plan of Salvation, always in consideration of your will, which is free and cannot abide any kind of force. But the fact that you will reach your goal one day is certain, and it is equally certain that a thousand years are like a day to Me, that no law of time exists for Me .... You yourselves, however, are still subject to this law, your imperfect state keeps you bound to the law of time, and that is extremely painful for you, for your distance from Me is a painful state which you immeasurably prolong again if you don't unite with Me .... if you have not achieved your return into the Father's house as yet. I would like to protect you from this long state of torment, therefore I will urgently admonish you time and again to use your will correctly, that is, to subordinate yourselves to My will, of which you are repeatedly informed. Receiving My Word and thus the knowledge of My will is part of My plan of Salvation, which will be implemented with love, wisdom and might .... but you will always be at liberty to consider it according to your own will. Consequently, the length of time you require for your return differs considerably but it can already be over for you at the end of your life on earth and can finally have resulted in freedom, light and strength, if you strive for it yourselves and make every effort to desire My help for it .... for this striving is already the correctly directed will which safely lets you reach your goal ....

Amen

Good and evil forces work according to the plan of salvation ....

B.D. 3563 from September 30th 1945, taken from Book No. 45

My will rules the world .... And if I will, the thinking of people who are unconsciously My instruments on earth will also change. For good and evil forces are active according to My will, even if the will of the latter is directed against Me. I leave people's will free, but as soon as they use their will in accordance with the eternal plan of salvation My will is decisive, i.e. the effect of whatever evil will plans will always also be the implementation of My plan of salvation; the working of evil forces against their will will also contribute towards the redemption of souls which have a good but weakened will within themselves. My will is decisive, yet the human being is responsible for his will, for I do not take away his freedom of will, thus I neither force him to do good nor evil deeds, yet I then give his thoughts the direction that his deeds adapt to My plan of salvation, whether they are of good or bad origin. And thus I can also use evil people at any time for the handling of world events by them acting in complete freedom of will and being unconscious tools through their actions, for My will evaluates their actions such as they are conducive to people's spiritual state. And where I don't want bad thoughts to come to fruition I confuse people's thinking insofar as that they strive for and hope for other aims and of their own accord drop the thoughts which first moved them for the sake of their own advantage. Their thinking remains bad and yet they can carry out actions against their will which My will directs to a good outcome for people in order to help them spiritually and physically. And therefore you humans may always ask for earthly danger to be averted, for even if it becomes a reality I can avert the danger for the supplicant Myself, because My love and My strength can do everything if only he presents his request to Me with the right trust. I do not force people's will, yet My will is above all else, and My will only allows that to be carried out which corresponds to My eternal plan of salvation. All powers of heaven and earth must serve Me, voluntarily or involuntarily they render Me their services, and therefore you humans need not fear the powers of the underworld if you have handed yourselves over to Me, for then I will also guide their thinking towards you so that they will not harm you despite bad will and bad intention. If you give yourselves to Me you will also be under My protection and the evil forces will not be able to do anything against you because My will will banish them from taking action against what wants to belong to Me. But My plan of eternity is fixed, and every action, every will expressed in the actions, contributes to the fulfilment of My eternal plan of salvation, consciously or unconsciously. Yet My love and wisdom govern all powers of heaven and earth and make them subject to Me and My will ....

Amen

Reconversion process takes ages ....

B.D. 7133 from May 28th 1958, taken from Book No. 76

Unthinkable times have already passed since the spirits' former apostasy from Me, and thus this spiritual substance has been in an unhappy state for unthinkable times. For since its hardening, i.e. its endless distance from Me, it is no longer touched by My strength of love, which signified life and bliss for the spirits. The state of death is inconceivably agonizing because the spiritual original state was freedom in light and strength and now its state has changed into the opposite. How long the reversion has been going on is incomprehensible to you humans, since you too are still in a state of imperfection which can only grasp limited things, yet we have to speak of eternities here in order to give you only an approximate idea of what it means to be in the last phase shortly before your perfection. The process of re-transformation, which you have already completed, has lasted for eternities. And it will only cost you a little effort to bring the last phase to a successful conclusion in order to then return again as the most blissful spiritual being from where you started. But the degree of beatitude in your original state is so immeasurably high that its attainment also requires the being's will, and it is precisely this will on which the attainment of the final aim depends. And therefore the return could certainly proceed for eternities according to the law of My eternal order, according to My plan of salvation, which therefore required endless times but certainly once reached a certain degree of maturity .... But first the free will of every individual being has to agree to this upward development, the being has to prove, as it were, that it is now willing to enter into My will, which it once resisted .... It must freely strive out of itself towards Me again, as it once turned away from Me in free will. And what it could no longer do before .... use its free will .... it can now do in earthly life as a human being. And that is why earthly life is so immensely significant for the spiritual being which, in embodiment as a human being, covers the last short distance which concludes an endlessly long path of bitterest torments and hardship and can bring about a complete change of state .... The fact that you humans have no evidence for these revelations of Mine should not cause you to doubt the truth; but to provide you with evidence would exclude any free decision of will on your part and thus also render the final result invalid. But it is already a special grace that you receive knowledge of it in a way which is not commonplace .... And you should only pay attention to what further reaches you on this path .... Then many things will become understandable to you and you will also be able to believe without evidence if you learn about My will, which consists of the fulfilment of the commandments of love, and you are willing to comply with this will. There have been very significant events which form the basis of your existence as a human being. You don't know anything about these processes, and you can only be informed of them in a way which does not force you to believe .... But you should not simply dismiss anything out of hand, you should deal with it mentally in good will to learn the truth. And truly, it will become yours .... For this desire for truth alone also proves the will which turns towards Me, which is also grasped by Me so that the human being will reach the aim .... to the final union with Me, to a blissful state of freedom, light and strength ....

Amen

Why is the information about the process of return not known? ....

B.D. 8465 from April 12th 1963, taken from Book No. 89

If only you would always take the path to Me, you would be helped in every adversity and distress, be it spiritually or earthly .... you would be looked after such that it will benefit your soul, for only pure truth is beneficial. I have not imposed any restrictions on you, and if you want to increase your spiritual knowledge I shall always be willing to instruct you.

You want to know why information is revealed to you now of which you have had little or no knowledge so far .... I want to give you the reason for this: time and again there have been people whose spiritual state enabled them to be introduced to the most profound mysteries of creation, and who thus also knew about the very first beginning of creation, about the apostasy from Me and about My eternal plan of Salvation. But such knowledge could never be passed on to other people as long as their state of maturity was lower than those who had received it from Me .... Its profundity would never have been understood, and had people merely adopted it literally their intellect would have caused them to reject it as the fantasy of a dreamer, since an unenlightened spirit would not have been able to grasp it .... And so, at the time of My life on earth people still had a very low spiritual level too, because they were still completely under the control of My adversary, who had been the cause of the immense spiritual darkness ....

Consequently, there were only a few people whom I could instruct about such mysteries of creation, and even they had difficulty in understanding it because they were still burdened by the original sin and this meant that their power of perception was inadequate. They certainly questioned Me time and again but I could only refer them to the enlightenment of their spirit after My crucifixion, after the act of Salvation, which lifted the dense darkness from those who loved Me. Hence they gradually came to understand what I had taught them but they would not have been able to pass the knowledge on for the very reason that their fellow human beings, whose spirit was not yet awakened, would not have been able to comprehend it .... Since this knowledge .... i.e. the enlightened spirit .... was only the result of a right way of life, of the fulfilment of the commandments of love which I had taught people as a matter of priority, people first had to be motivated to fulfil My commandments of love ....

Furthermore, you should also know that I gave My disciples the task of writing everything down for future generations .... For even they were still unable to understand the most profound wisdom and therefore only adhered to My instruction to proclaim what I had said to the people who followed Me, who regarded Me as a prophet and expected miracles or the healing of their every affliction from Me, who drew comfort and strength from My Words, and whose faith in the one and only God I was able to strengthen because they were of good will .... But there were only a few who wanted to learn more, and they were more motivated by their intellect than their heart to ask about things which only I was able to answer .... They certainly accepted the explanations but they did not leave a deeper impression on them apart from a few whose hearts were very willing to love and who recognised Me as their God and Creator ....

The fact that they were initiated by Me and very happy about such knowledge need not be mentioned, but it always just remained pleasing spiritual knowledge for those followers whom I instructed Myself, however, it did not get passed on to their fellow human beings or their descendants, since they were unable to understand it and therefore such discussions were not mentioned by My disciples either. Besides, such knowledge about the very first beginning and ultimate goal of all creation was not necessary for people and indeed not always beneficial. Had they been informed of it as dogma it could have, to some extent, compelled people's will, who .... if they had faith .... would have considered their development until the human stage with a shudder and would have felt unfree or unable to muster love for a God Whose plan would have been totally incomprehensible to them .... But where it was possible for Me to transmit divine revelations to earth this knowledge was given to people as well ....

And the proximity of the end explains why clear information about this is always given, because people cannot be reminded strongly enough of their responsibility now, for the act of a new banishment is at stake, which only takes place at the end of a period of Salvation and is extremely significant for all ascending souls .... Prior to this, souls who had failed to reach maturity on earth still had the opportunity in the kingdom of the beyond to reach full maturity .... But at the end of a period of Salvation this opportunity no longer exists, then the most appalling event occurs whereby the souls will be disintegrated into individual particles and be banished into hard matter again .... What would now be more reasonable than Me informing you humans about the fate that awaits you if you fail?

You are also able to pass your test of earthly life without any knowledge if you lived with love .... But when love has grown cold, so that failure is inevitable and the souls' fate is sealed with a new banishment, then I will use any means beforehand in order to disturb humanity. Then I will also make sure that people receive the information about the great plan of creation .... even though the success is nothing more than that people will listen with incredulity to such information and far more will reject than accept it. But I also know the will of individual people, and therefore I also know who will not reject this knowledge and who will draw the consequences from it .... and truly, they will receive it from Me, just as I have always guided those into truth, into profound spiritual knowledge, who desired it in their hearts and through a life of love were also receptive to it .... For you should also recognise a God of love, wisdom and might in every happening that you experience, and you should trust Me and always call upon My help, because the hardship will still be considerable before the end, yet anyone who perseveres will be blessed ....

Amen

The implementation of the plan of salvation in the end time

God's plan of salvation ....

B.D. 4822 from January 21st 1950, taken from Book No. 55

What has been decided in My plan of salvation will irrevocably take place, for My wisdom recognized the necessity of it in order to bring to perfection what once had become apostate to Me. The time for every event has been determined since eternity, because the will of the spirit has also been apparent to Me since eternity, so that I also recognized the length of time in which a process of development is to be regarded as finished or failed, which is why new phases of development always begin when no results are achieved. Since it is therefore now clearly before Me that and when people fail, it has been determined since eternity when a new earth period begins and the old one is therefore finished. And this point in time is held in abeyance because a departure from it would only have an evil effect on the spiritual and My constant concern only applies to these beings which are in dire need due to their imperfection .... (23.1.1950) The end of an earth period is therefore fixed in time and cannot be postponed by human will, yet human will can shape the way of the end of a developmental period into a less painful one if it would be willing to subordinate itself to My will, so that the destruction of the old earth would affect the spiritual substances still bound in the creations, whereas the human being who endeavours to live according to My will could reap the reward in a painless passage into the spiritual kingdom or even in a sudden transfer to a newly emerged creation. A will which submits to Me does not need such sharp means of education and the time of the end of the earth could approach for people without any horror. But people can no longer stop it from coming despite a possible change of will. For this has been determined since eternity. People can certainly shake off their belief in it, but then only to their own detriment. But if a person believes he can reduce the horrors for himself, even if he cannot completely avert them for the sake of his fellow human beings. Yet as soon as he submits to My will as an individual he is under My special protection, and that which completely opposes Me together with its lord cannot harm his soul, even though he is also earthly oppressed. Yet such a believing person is strong for himself because My strength flows through him and he feels safe and secure in My protection. I inform My own of My eternal plan of salvation, I announce the near end to them, I draw their attention to the signs of it and give them the promise of My help, My presence and My coming in greatest adversity. And anyone who believes these words of Mine will survive the time of the end without harm to his soul, he will not need to worry, for his faith gives him the expectation of My help, his faith gives him strength and grace to remain faithful to Me and persevere until the end ....

Amen

Knowledge of the plan of salvation .... Working of the adversary ....

B.D. 8415 from February 18th 1963, taken from Book No. 88

What I have to say to you only concerns your salvation of soul, and if you let yourselves be impressed by it it will only be a blessing for you. And if I give you knowledge of My reign and activity in infinity, of My countless creations which the universe harbours, this knowledge shall also only serve to kindle the love for Me in you which will lead you closer to Me again, through which you will narrow the vast gulf between yourselves and Me .... For you will only learn to understand this knowledge when you have already reached a certain degree of maturity, depending on your degree of love .... Hence your first effort is to proclaim the gospel of love to you, and I will emphasize this time and again when I convey My word to you humans. The dormant spark of love in you shall be kindled if you want to reach the final goal in earthly life, the final union with Me. And I will do everything that only serves to ignite this spark of love in you ..... And this includes turning to the pure truth which reveals to you a true image of Me as your God and creator Who wants to be recognized by you as father. This also includes that you are able to gain a small insight into My eternal plan of salvation, for only when you know about your original beginning and your goal will you also understand My reign and activity, you will be able to explain everything to yourselves and then also seriously strive towards your goal. However, people's thinking is very confused, especially in the last time before the end .... since people do not fulfil the first conditions for attaining the truth: to kindle love within themselves, which only guarantees right thinking .... And therefore people will also fight each other, each one will hold his own view, no matter how erroneous it may be .... For the battle of darkness against the light will rage ever more fiercely the closer the end is .... And the darkness proceeds with truly satanic means in order to cause confusion, and it requires the most heartfelt bond with Me not to be drawn into this darkness. But again, the light which shines forth from Me has great illuminating power, it spreads an unusual brightness, that is, people who stand in the light of truth are also able to see through My adversary's work of deception, they already have realization and can easily distinguish pure truth from error and lies .... Thus they need hardly fear being led astray by the adversary's activity. For as soon as the bond with Me is established you humans can also be certain that I will protect you from error. Yet since every person has free will it is up to him whether his heart or only his intellect searches for the truth, and where intellect is predominant the adversary's influence is also possible and explainable .... Many people are satisfied with the illusions My adversary presents to them, they are gullible and accept the false as genuine, they cannot be enlightened about the error either because they have not yet kindled the inner light which would give them clarity .... Many people certainly connect themselves with the spirit world, however, since their intellect only establishes this bond they are now also served by that spirit world which is subject to the prince of darkness .... And if the pure truth is presented to these people they reject it because they are so certain of their right thinking and no longer accept any enlightenment. It is truly an eclipsed state in the last days where the light can almost no longer penetrate .... But again, it is only up to people themselves, for as soon as they live a life of love the light of realization shines so brightly in them that no error can hold on any longer and the truth breaks through .... And I will protect My own from My adversary's influence, My light from above will shine brightly into their hearts and expose everything as erroneous which is offered to them by My adversary .... And time and again I tell you that everyone who earnestly desires the truth will also recognize it and will not allow himself to be disturbed by My adversary's activity, for he kindles the light within himself and the darkness will no longer be able to frighten him ....

Amen

God's plan of salvation and end ....

B.D. 7565 from April 2nd 1960, taken from Book No. 80

My eternal plan will be carried out, for My love and wisdom were decisive for this plan and My might brings about everything I want. Therefore neither people's will nor My adversary's actions can prevent Me from doing so, and it would be easy for Me to initiate you humans to such an extent that you would also know the day and hour when I would carry out the plan. But My love and wisdom prevents this again, because it would not benefit My living creations if they would then fulfil their earthly task under a certain compulsion of will, which would mean knowing the day and hour of the end of this earth. But My love also wants to warn and admonish you humans again, My love only wants you to prepare yourselves and not to fear the end .... And therefore I repeatedly announce to you through seers and prophets that the end is imminent .... as it has happened since the beginning of this earth period and will happen until the end occurs. I will not leave you humans without knowledge about it, yet this knowledge will never be proven to you due to your freedom of will. You only ever have to believe it and live your life in accordance with this belief .... And then My plan of salvation will unfold such that you will not suffer any harm. But it will be carried out according to My will, for I truly know what serves you, My living creations, best, irrespective of whether you already live on this earth as a human being or still live in the bound state of the works of creation .... I know when the time has come for you to change your state, when all spiritual substances have to leave the form which keeps them bound, I know when lawful order has to be established again and what is helpful for the spiritual substances' ascent development .... And because My love and wisdom are decisive I will also pause the time I have set for Myself from eternity for My work of salvation .... And thus, when I announce the time to you humans as 'imminent', when I admonish you again and again to think of your end, this is also determined by My love, which truly wants to prepare a blissful fate for you and again and again shows you the path you should take in order to become blessed .... this is why I repeatedly speak to you humans from above, for you cannot receive information about what is to come in any other way, because no-one but Me can know this and because I want you to take notice of it, even if you only have to believe it. But you are blessed if you believe My word from above, for no-one but Me can instruct you in accordance with the truth, no-one can impart this knowledge to you if I Myself do not convey it to you through My spirit. Therefore it also requires firm faith to accept My word as truth, faith which was gained through love. And because there is so little love amongst humanity, the belief in an end is also rarely to be found, and people irresponsibly go their earthly way and don't use the time they still have until the end, which is truly only short. And if you knew the day and hour you would be frightened .... But this knowledge remains hidden from you, for it would be of no use to you for your perfection. But it will come, suddenly and unexpectedly .... And therefore My concern is always for you, and I address you again and again. The near end is the reason for My address, because I still want to win souls which listen to Me and believe My word, for these will prepare themselves, they will make an effort to live according to My will, and their good will will always receive strengthening from My side. Again and again they will desire to hear Me and truly draw strength from My word because I have blessed My word with My strength ...._>Amen

God's plan is irrevocably fulfilled ....

B.D. 7302 from March 8th 1959, taken from Book No. 77

You can consider everything possible but not that I deviate from My plan of salvation, which has been determined since eternity. In My wisdom I recognized the time when My intervention is necessary, and in accordance with this recognition the plan has been determined which I will certainly carry out, as I have announced to you again and again. And I was able to make these announcements to you humans again and again through seers and prophets because I saw the course of development, because I saw that you are increasingly regressing and that the time will come when this regression has to be stopped if My plan of redemption for the fallen spirits is not to be endangered .... I certainly allowed and still allow the being free will as long as it does not completely destroy itself .... But My adversary's power over the being will increase the more wrongly the human being's will is directed, and therefore the time will come when I will snatch this being from the adversary again and bind it in matter once more so that he will lose control over it. And this is My plan of salvation, to help the beingness to ascend by some means, which, however, often puts itself in danger of taking an unholy path which leads it into the adversary's hands again. I can only help the being to become free from his control; but I cannot take the spiritual from the adversary, which is basically his possession because of his own attitude. But precisely for this reason I have designed My plan of salvation, which will certainly also be successful one day. And thus My reign and activity will always proceed in a lawful order; and as My plan provides for it, it will also be carried out with the certain success of a constant upward development, albeit with apparent interruptions which nevertheless basically signify a continuation of the development. But people will never know the exact day and hour, thus they will never be able to time the course of My plan of salvation. For a thousand years are like a day before Me .... which, however, does not exclude that one day the thousand years will be over and the day of the end, the day of My unexpected intervention in My plan of creation, will have come and the announcements will come true .... And therefore you humans should always be mindful of this day; you should live in constant expectation such that you unhesitatingly look forward to the day which is of utmost importance for all of you. I have always pointed this out, and until the day is approaching I will continue to point it out so that you will not be able to say that you have never been urged to work diligently on yourselves in view of the end which is foreseen in My plan of salvation, because a transformation of the old earth has become necessary if it is to continue to fulfil its purpose: to serve the spiritual as a maturing station. Again and again I tell you that these are not empty words, that I will not deviate from My plan, for it only aims at the redemption and return of all spiritual substances which once fell away from Me and into wretchedness. I know from eternity about your will, about your spiritual state and about the time when I have to intervene, and I will truly intervene, for the time has come, people have reached a spiritual low where only I Myself can restore order in the way intended in My plan from eternity. And since this is based on My infinite love and unsurpassable wisdom, it will truly also fulfil itself ....

Amen

Earthly plans .... God's plan of salvation ....

B.D. 7159 from July 4th 1958, taken from Book No. 76

Large circles of people are still under a delusion, for they strive for comprehensive worldly improvements, they believe they can make use of hitherto untapped powers; they plan ahead for long periods of time and allegedly want to make things easier or better for humanity, but they all only aim at creating a pleasant earthly life for themselves .... which would therefore by no means be spiritual successes. People do not allow themselves to be dissuaded from such thoughts and plans, they are convinced that the next human generations will benefit from their efforts even if they themselves cannot enjoy them .... They reckon with the 'future' as if it were a matter of course and have no idea how quickly everything will come to an end .... Rumours of a near end certainly appear everywhere, for everywhere there are people who possess spiritual foresight, who know about forthcoming events which will take place on earth and amongst people, yet their admonitions or indications go unheeded because they certainly do not fit into the plan which the majority of people are already eagerly pursuing: earthly upheavals of such a kind which humanity intends to enjoy. But because of people's freedom of will, their thinking cannot necessarily be directed differently either. And so two different views naturally arise among humanity .... the one conscious of the present and the other joyful of the future .... The spiritually awakened person does not plan far ahead, for he sees the time as having come when everything is coming to a head and the end is to be expected daily. But there are far more spiritually blind people, and they are constantly intent on exploiting all earthly advantages and creating a secure future for themselves or their descendants. And everyone follows his own path, only that the former reaches the aim, while the latter takes long wrong paths and in the end will be a victim of his deluded thinking. For everything that happens is predetermined in the plan of salvation from eternity. And so one earth period will come to an end and a new one will begin .... And all plans designed by people will come to nothing, because what those people strive for is no longer permissible for the new earth .... because it rather gives the final cause for the dissolution and transformation of this earth when the time is fulfilled which was set for you humans to release yourselves from the form. None of you humans can secure for yourselves what you covetously strive for as soon as it concerns earthly successes or possessions .... But to achieve spiritual perfection need not seem uncertain to him, for once he has this striving within himself he will also be supported by God in every way .... And he need neither fear the end of this earth nor his own death, his future lies brightly before him, yet differently than worldly people would wish. Yet everyone receives what he desires .... only the earthly-material, which moves most people's thoughts, can and will cast a spell over them again, they will have to suffer under its bondage again for eternities, but they have also created their own fate, for it was also possible for them to attain freedom while they were still on earth .... And all people receive indications and warnings which could bring them to their senses. But as a person's will is, so is his lot .... and every person's will is free ....

Amen

God will implement His act of Salvation ....

B.D. 8338 from November 25th 1962, taken from Book No. 88

Nothing will prevent Me from implementing My eternal plan of Salvation, for My love and wisdom have realised from the start when it is necessary to manifest My Power, to restructure My work of creation called Earth by virtue of My might, and this time will be adhered to, for that which I realise to be necessary will also be carried out by Me. For people's low spiritual level necessitates this change, since it almost cannot be surpassed anymore, and thus the day which was designated for eternity is not far away anymore .... All that needs to be done now is to provide people with the greatest possible help so that those who accept it will still be saved. Yet no-one should think that he can persuade Me to abandon My eternal plan of Salvation .... although I will always grant heartfelt prayers, as I have promised. But you should not pray for the prevention of the last Judgment on this earth, because this act is purely an act of love on My part and you should never prevent Me in My activity of love .... For I know that a complete transformation is necessary, both for you humans as well as all the spiritual substances which are still bound in the creations and which should strive to ascend. And if you pray for prevention then you are only motivated by selfish love because you neither want to forgo your earthly life nor your earthly possessions .... If, however, your love aims in the right direction so that it belongs to Me and your neighbour then your spirit will also be sufficiently enlightened so that you will be able to realise that the last Judgment is an act of love on My part .... Then you will recognise the low spiritual level yourselves and you will know that I must give rise to a change in order to save what can still be saved .... I have indeed always referred to this last end yet never mentioned a time to you, and even now I will not inform you of the precise time but you can be assured that My proclamations will soon fulfil themselves, that you will not have much time left until the end of the earth .... that you are very close to it .... And when you pray then only pray that many people may still become enlightened, that they may take the path to the cross, so that the hour of the end will not mean their downfall but beatitude for them .... Try to explain the commandments of love to all people, try to motivate them into changing their love into unselfish love for their neighbour, and you will truly pray correctly when you pray for help for the people close to you which have not yet gained realisation themselves ....

But do not think that prayer campaigns will be able to determine Me and My will not to accomplish My plan of Salvation, for it really would not be an act of grace, instead My adversary would merely increase the number of his adherents, and even My Own would be at risk of being plunged into ruin by him .... Believe that My love and wisdom only ever want what is best for My living creations, that even this last Judgment is not an act of punishment on My part but only a judgment of that which has completely left My order .... I want to restore the order which was revoked through human will, through My adversary's influence, so that even My living creations' process of return is at risk .... My plan of Salvation only ever intends to return the fallen beings to Me .... However, you humans lack the overall view, the correct realisation, and neither do you know to what depth the human race has sunk already and that therefore the point in time has come that its fall will have to be stopped, that the souls will have to be wrest from My adversary again and banned anew, so that one day they will have the opportunity once more to start on the return path to Me, which they forfeited in this life on earth, which they failed to make use of and are therefore lost again due to their own fault. But My adversary will not keep them in his control, and that is a plus for the fallen soul already, which has to pass through the creations of the new earth in a dissolved state again. You humans are unaware that I Am only ever determined by love because one day you shall become My Own again .... and only see the punishing God in Me .... Yet you have created this 'punishment' yourselves, through your inclination towards matter, which has become your downfall, you have aspired towards this fate yourselves .... For matter belongs to My adversary, thus you voluntarily handed yourselves over to his authority, and he will hold on to you until I Myself wrest you away again from him, which will happen through a banishment into hard matter .... but which, at the same time, will be the start of your ascent from the abyss to the pinnacle again .... All this will be said to you time and time again, and therefore prepare yourselves for an end of this earth and do whatever it takes to detach yourselves from the one who wants to ruin you .... Come to Me and, truly, I will help you to resist him .... Then you need not fear the end, which will irrevocably come as I have proclaimed to you ....

Amen

God carries out his plan of Salvation ....

B.D. 8656 from October 26th 1963, taken from Book No. 91

You will never be able to prevent Me from implementing My eternal plan of Salvation. I have indeed said that you will be able to avert much from yourselves through heartfelt prayer, but My plan of Salvation is based on humanity's will which I recognised from the start and thus was also able to appoint the appropriate times when the great transformations will take place, and I will indeed adhere to these times. Due to his heartfelt prayer I can certainly avert occurrences from every individual person, I can guide every individual in a way that he will not be affected by the events which I allow to befall people if I want to achieve My purpose: to continue the process of return, which has come to a standstill .... Yet I have always predicted exceptional events to you, and these predictions will indeed fulfil themselves since they must fulfil themselves if the divine order is to be restored again. And I have truly known throughout eternity at what point the divine order will no longer be observed and have therefore always been able to refer to this time and mention the substantial upheavals which will irrevocably occur according to My announcements. But people will never believe these announcements undisputedly, for what is prophesied to them as shortly forthcoming surpasses human notions ....

They will certainly be able to recognise the course of world events, that a change will have to happen because people have reached the lowest point, as is clearly evidenced in their self-indulgence and an excessive craving for a good living standard, earthly commodities, honour and power .... Thus they would be able to recognise by the signs of the time that these announcements have a certain justification, which they ought to take seriously and then live their own life accordingly. But their unbelief is already too great for people to listen to such indications. They unreservedly live a purely earthly life and reject all thoughts of drastic change. And this is why humanity will be taken by surprise by a catastrophic natural event on a scale which has never been experienced on earth before, which will end many people's lives and lead to unprecedented chaos of huge proportions and mean immense misery for people. This is a last warning sign and shall therefore be constantly proclaimed to people .... My messengers shall draw people's attention to it so that they will recognise the truth when this event takes place, so that they will make good use of the last days before the soon-following end for the maturity of their souls. Admittedly, they will find little or no belief, and yet I keep instructing My messengers time and again to speak up wherever possible. People don't want to be disturbed in their lives of pleasure but they will get a sudden shock, and the forthcoming event can mean the end for any individual person, and he will be not be able to take his material possessions across with him. And this is what he shall always bear in mind, for even if he is usually not willing to believe he nevertheless knows that he cannot prolong his physical life by even one day because the hour of his death is predetermined, and he knows that one day his end will come and that this can happen at any day, that he will have to leave everything behind which amounts to the purpose of his life. And therefore he should not value earthly goods so highly but procure himself possessions for eternity .... And he would only be acting intelligently, whereas a purely earthly life is no sign of prudence but only attests to confused thinking ....

My plan of eternity, however, will be carried out and the day I have set for Myself will be adhered to, because the human generation no longer fulfils its earthly task and will therefore be devoured by the earth with the exception of those who have recognised Me, who believe in Me and remain loyal to Me until the end .... For the earth must continue to serve its purpose as a place of education for the spiritual substances which are on the path of return to Me .... And this is why the great work of transformation cannot be omitted and everything has come to pass as I always predicted, because I don't leave people without warning and offer everyone still enough opportunities to find Me and seek union with Me in faith and love. And truly, these shall still be saved before the end .... I will call them back earlier so that they will not run the risk of descending completely but they can still mature in the beyond .... Or I will remove them from the earth at the end and take them to a place of peace because they are intended to populate the new earth again as the root of the new human generation .... You humans should believe what I announce to you time and again, for there is not much time left, and everyone of good will can still be saved, so that he will not meet the dreadful fate of a new banishment ....

Amen

God's plan of salvation .... love and wisdom ....

B.D. 3534 from September 2nd 1945, taken from Book No. 45

God's love is exceedingly great and His decision is wise. And everything He decides serves the redemption of the spiritual, which is wretched because it is far from God. In order to bring it closer to Him He directs all events according to His eternal plan of salvation, which is determined in profound wisdom and infinite love and will also lead to the aim one day. Salvation from greatest adversity is the basis of it, for God's love only wants blissful creatures with whom He is eternally united. This is the ultimate aim and purpose of everything that happens in heaven and on earth. But where God's love and wisdom is active, fullest success must also be guaranteed, only it takes infinite times because God's will alone does not bring about the redemption of the unfree spiritual, but God lets the spiritual's free will make the final decision in the embodiment as a human being and this shortens or lengthens the period of redemption itself. God's love and wisdom only arranges all events in such a way that they stimulate the human being to use his will and suggest the right decision to him. And this has to be recognized, even in the greatest suffering that goes over the earth and oppresses people .... The love and wisdom of God must also be recognized in this, Who wants to come to people's aid so that they make the right decision. And thus the coming time of the battle of faith and the imminent dissolution of earth also belong to God's eternal plan of salvation, Who uses all means to enable the spiritual beings to reach the final aim. It is a hard time and yet inevitably necessary, for God's wisdom saw the unsuccessfulness of all means to gain the spiritual in the last days, and His love again applies new means to bring help to the spiritual. God's plan of salvation underlies every work of creation and every event in the universe, nothing exists and happens without meaning and purpose, the spiritual being's adversity and redemption is always the cause and aim and God's love is constantly intent on reducing the distance between Himself and the spiritual being which has fallen away from Him. The more resistance the spiritual being puts up to Him the more painful its fate, and as a human being it therefore likewise shapes its earthly fate for itself, extremely painful if it does not bow to God and submits its will to Him, or more bearable through the supply of grace and strength if it gives up its resistance and approaches Him of its own free will. This is the meaning and purpose of the eternal plan of salvation, which has to be recognized and the realization of which also already signifies the beginning of redemption, for now the spiritual being steps out of the darkness enveloping it into the light .... It recognizes God's love and wisdom, it knows about the meaning and purpose of earthly life, about the meaning and purpose of creation, about the blessing of suffering, which testifies to God's love, and it now strives fully consciously upwards .... It will also not fail in the last battle of faith as soon as it has gained this knowledge, and after a difficult but short time it will maturely enter the kingdom of light or paradise on the new earth in order to live eternally in the proximity of God, from Whom it once took its origin ....

Amen

God's eternal plan of salvation is being carried out ....

B.D. 7357 from May 7th 1959, taken from Book No. 78

There is no spiritual change for the better on this earth, even if individuals will still attain realization and thus a spiritual change will occur for them in their earthly life. But the general public is far more on the path to the abyss, it is sinking instead of striving upwards, and these people will increase in number the closer it is to the end. Whatever is done to change their will, to proclaim the gospel to them or to bring the truth to them .... they reject everything and rather persecute those who want to help them rise from the depths to the light .... They are wholly in the hands of satan and do his will, who plunges them irrevocably into the deep, as is his plan .... And because these people are in the majority judgment will also have to pass over this earth, although everything will be done first to release the few from his chains who go into themselves and thus accomplish a spiritual change within themselves, for they will live forever even if they lose their physical life before the end of this earth, but their souls will enter the kingdom of light and beatitude. But whoever perseveres until the end will be blessed .... This promise will be fulfilled, for people who remain faithful to God even in the time of the most difficult faith struggle will be allowed to inhabit paradise on the new earth and will be blessed .... Then one can certainly speak of a spiritual turning point, for people will no longer be in battle with evil forces, there will be peace on earth and people will live together in love, in harmony and bliss, and no-one will need to fear their fellow human being as an enemy and adversary .... It is a completely different life than it is on earth now among people who are hostile towards each other and harm each other because love has completely grown cold .... And this state cannot remain like this, but it would no longer be changed on the part of people, but it can only experience a change through God's will by establishing the law of divine order again .... by separating the goats from the sheep, by banishing in matter that which is completely contrary to Him and by transferring those who remain faithful to a new earth .... by "making all things new", as He has promised. But anyone who still hopes for such a change on this earth is mistaken, for God's adversary has too much power over people who grant him this power themselves, and he also uses it because he knows that he does not have much time left .... Thus he will do everything in his power to further increase the confusion on earth; and people themselves will do nothing to counteract him, they will willingly go along with everything he urges them to do. And thus the spiritual darkness will grow ever greater, people's weakness to resist will constantly increase and satan's activity will likewise increase, and people's complete deterioration and apostasy from God will be the inevitable result, which will therefore be countered by God such that everything on earth will come to an end, that all creations will be dissolved and all spiritual substances will receive a new form again in accordance with their degree of maturity .... but the human being will likewise be incorporated into the material creation again in accordance with his maturity .... except for those who are raptured because they remain faithful to God until the end .... Whether you humans want to believe this or not .... it is God's plan of salvation which will be carried out according to His will and which will therefore also one day be carried out when the time is fulfilled .... And the fact that it will soon be fulfilled is proclaimed to you again and again through seers and prophets so that you cannot say that you knew nothing in order to be able to prepare yourselves for it. You reckon with the distant future .... but one day the future will also become the present, and one day you will have to reckon with the course of events according to the predictions .... And you should imagine this end as close as possible, and this will only be good for you .... For you stand before the end .... You are facing an earthly and spiritual turning point, and you do not have much time left .... Use it well, for you can still achieve much if only you are of good will ....

Amen

God's plan of salvation always requires new creations ....

B.D. 7268 from January 29th 1959, taken from Book No. 77

New creations will still arise on this earth for eternities, and the upward development of the spiritual will continue, which is still bound in hard matter and other works of creation, for eternal times are already required by a once-fallen original spirit for this return from the deepest depth to the height, up to the stage where it may walk across earth embodied as a human being to pass its last test of will: for or against God, to Whom it once offered its resistance and therefore fell .... An infinite amount of fallen spirits still have to take this path, and it takes eternities for these spirits to remain far away from God in utmost wretchedness until they are even allowed to take this path of return .... until it becomes matter according to God's will and then slowly ascends in material creations. For this reason all matter is already a state of constraint which proves that God's love has taken care of the hardened spiritual substance in order to shape it according to His will, for it is then already seized by God's strength of love which enveloped it in order to give it a helpful purpose, irrespective of whether it is at the beginning of its development or has already progressed. All matter is hardened spiritual matter enveloped by God's strength of love, which has received its envelopment for the sake of a purpose. It is not always possible for you humans to recognize the purpose, but nothing in the whole of creation is without meaning and purpose, only it is often only known to God alone, because human thinking and conceptual ability is still limited. But only as human beings can the original spirits recognize themselves again as beings, because before they were not aware of themselves. And as long as the earth exists and harbours creations of the most diverse kind, countless original spirits are bound in it, all of which still have to gather and find themselves in order to one day be able to animate the form of a human being when those bound little particles have attained their appropriate maturity. And as long as there are creations in, on and above the earth there can be no end to this earth which serves as a maturing station for the fallen spirits. For this reason it is not possible to speak of a downfall of the earth if this is understood to mean a complete decay, a total dissolution of the earth's body, for the bound spiritual substances require shells and thus again and again new creations which offer them shelter depending on the state of maturity which the individual particles have already reached. One day the earth will indeed be a purely spiritual creation, yet eternities will pass until then, because a spiritual creation can only shelter mature spiritual beings and the countless creations on earth only ever prove how much unredeemed spiritual substance has taken abode in those creations. And this spiritual substance cannot jump over developmental phases at will, it has to ascend from the abyss according to natural law, in accordance with the divine order in which God's plan of salvation .... the return of the apostate to Him .... was conceived and is carried out. And this very plan of God's salvation requires eternities and it requires new creations again and again, otherwise the change of external forms could not take place, which is necessary again and again in order to give the spiritual the opportunity for serving activity through which the ascent development is guaranteed. The constant coming into being and passing away in nature is a process according to divine order, which takes place according to natural law .... Yet from time to time acts of violence also take place according to God's will in order to repeatedly dissolve hard matter and release the spiritual within, which is now to begin its course of development in lighter external forms .... and at the same time to capture and bind fallen spiritual again in hardest form. And the earth will still have to serve this task for eternities, it will certainly be transformed again and again but it will not be able to pass away, for an incomprehensibly long time is necessary for you humans until even the last spiritual substance will be embodied on this earth, which you can well describe with the word 'eternity'. And yet, you can also speak of a downfall of the earth, for what lies ahead of you signifies an end of your life for you humans, for nothing will remain alive, people and animals will lose their lives apart from the small flock of those who will be raptured in order to then become the tribe of the human race again on the newly formed earth which shall populate the new earth, as is God's will ....

Amen

Taking notice of God's plan of Salvation ....

B.D. 7881 from April 28th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

The fact that I reveal My plan of Salvation to you should make you realise the significance of the time you live in. The knowledge I convey to you in all clarity is intended to give you an insight into My reign and activity, it explains to you the purpose of your earthly life, the meaning and purpose of creation .... this knowledge is so momentous and extensive that it could not humanly be offered to you .... such knowledge can only be imparted to you through the working of My spirit. The light I transmit to earth can shine exceedingly brightly and dispel the darkness if you humans are receptive to it, if you allow yourselves to be impressed by it as soon as I address you .... And the reason why I transmit this extraordinary knowledge is because you are approaching the end .... If you have been informed of My plan of Salvation you will also understand that one period of Salvation comes and must come to an end, for then you will only look at everything from the point of view that the fallen spirits must be given every opportunity to start the path of return to Me .... be it the human being or the spiritual substances which are still bound in the creations which, in their fundamental substance, emerged from Me as a being and shall also return to the Father's house as a being again ....

Since you know My eternal plan of Salvation you will also know about the infinitely long process of development which the fallen spirits have to travel in order to ascend again .... In that case you will also mercifully consider those who have not yet reached the stage of a human being and which suffer in their constraints because they originally came forth from Me as a free spirit .... And you will also know that it is due to the human being's free will if he fails during his earthly life, and that this free will therefore creates his own fate .... that his life on earth is unwarranted if he makes no use of his embodiment as a human being .... Hence you can understand that this spiritual being forfeits its own earthly life and that the termination of one period of Salvation is merely an act of love on My part, Who also wants to help the advancement of those spirituals substances who long for their final form so as to be able to release themselves for good by taking the final path across earth as a human being .... And I inform you humans of My plan of Salvation in the last days as a special grace because it will make it easier for you to believe in an end once you have correctly recognised the correlations .... For even if a thousand years are like a day before Me .... the last day which has been determined for eternity will nevertheless arrive sooner or later .... And then I will separate the sheep from the goats .... and those who are and remain faithful to Me will be saved, none of those need be afraid when the earth begins to tremble, for their life will be guaranteed for all eternity ....

Therefore, understand My Words correctly and don't doubt Me and My Word, which comes to you from above announcing a near end to you and which will fulfil itself because it is the truth .... Those who take notice of My revelations should really find it easy to believe since you are aware of all the correlations .... For I have revealed My 'plan of Salvation' to you, you have received extraordinary knowledge to enlighten you, so that you will be able to believe .... You cannot persuade Me not to carry out My plan of Salvation, you cannot delay the day of the end because it has been predetermined for eternity .... But every one of you can belong to those to whom I have promised My protection if they remain faithful to Me .... you can belong to the few righteous people whom My arm will protect, whom I will lift away from earth when the hour has come which signifies the end for all creations on, in and above the earth .... For My might is great, My love is infinite and applies to all as yet unredeemed spiritual beings, and My wisdom truly knows when the time is right for a necessary change if the higher development is to continue in accordance with My eternal order .... And My love, wisdom and might will constantly be at work when it concerns the return of all fallen spirits who shall come home into My Fatherly house ....

Amen
