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. 3232 from August 25th 1944, taken from Book No. 42

I will inform all people of the forthcoming end, for I will also draw My adversaries' attention to it so that they will not be able to say one day that it remained hidden from them. But if they close their ears, if they mock or laugh at what touches their ears in the form of prophecies, My warnings and admonitions will be in vain, for I will not force anyone to believe. But they will tremble when the end is near, for they will recognize their wrong thinking and also the hopelessness of their situation. Humanity no longer wants to accept anything offered to it from the spiritual kingdom; it is so earthly-minded that it lacks all feeling for spiritual good, but I cannot offer people more than what they are willing to accept. I cannot force them into faith through obvious miracles because they are My living creations which were originally active with utmost freedom of will and which would completely lose their freedom through compulsory faith and thus remain imperfect for all eternity. I can only express Myself through human mouths and must leave it up to them whether they want to recognize My word through unconditional desire for truth and unselfish activity of love. For now My word will sound to them and they will recognize the giver of the word in every admonition and warning, and thus they will also heed it. But what willlessness dominates people especially towards these spiritual announcements. They take nothing seriously and believe that God will direct events according to their will and calculation. And how little they therefore do to shape their nature .... And the hour will come without them being prepared for the near end .... They only follow world events and draw their conclusions from them .... But I will startle them and show them that I rule the world and that I truly rule in a way that serves you humans .... And everything will take place according to My plan from eternity .... as I announce to you humans through My servants on earth .... And people will now have to realize that I was only concerned about their well-being, that I wanted to save them and only found resistance from them. For only the will towards God unites their souls with Me. But the will towards Me also gives them the understanding for My word, for My action and activity in the last days before the end. And only then will My word be obeyed as soon as it is still time, for what I announce literally comes true, because I convey knowledge to earth through the spirit which fully corresponds to the truth .... And therefore everything I announced to you humans a long time ago has to come true so that you will know when the end is near ....

Amen

Creation of nature proof of God's love ....

B.D. 6470 from February 7th 1956, taken from Book No. 69

The separation between Me and the beings was brought about by their free will, and this free will must also re-establish the union with Me. But My will will only ever support this union because it signifies your as well as My beatitude. But I will never restrict your free will, I will never bring about the union against your will. And thus it will also be understandable to you that only you can create a change from an unhappy state which always signifies separation from Me into a state of unlimited bliss .... into a state of unlimited bliss which can be found in union with Me. Thus you yourselves determine your fate, but I will not leave you to your self-chosen destiny, even if your will is still opposed to Me .... Whatever can still be done on My part to help only you to beatitude I will truly not refrain from doing .... But free will, the sign of your divine origin, binds My power .... I don't want to defeat you but win your love, which then inevitably pushes you towards Me and which alone can create beatitudes .... But winning your love is only possible if you learn to recognize Me as the eternal love .... But you humans only let yourselves be attracted by what My adversary offers you .... But you don't ask for My gift because you don't value it properly; because your senses are not yet directed towards what I want to give you in order to make you happy. And thus I must also offer you something which touches your senses beneficially but which nevertheless cannot be offered to you by My adversary .... I must address you through creation, through nature, which can likewise make you happy, which can make your hearts beat faster with gratitude and also direct your thoughts towards Me .... so that you remember Him Who created everything around you. Through creation I can address you humans and prove Myself to you as a loving God Whom you can love again precisely for the sake of the glories which surround you and can make your hearts beat high at times .... The creations of nature are such clear evidence of a loving, wise and powerful deity that everyone could feel addressed by it and find the way to It .... And yet, countless people pass by impassively and untouched because their thoughts are turned towards the material world and they cannot muster interest for anything else .... And I may not force their will, I may not steer it in the right direction but can only do everything to remind them of Myself .... which now has to happen through adversity and strokes of fate and visible help .... What My loving influence does not bring about must now be tried by harder means .... Where the evidence of My love and wisdom is not found in creation, there My might must make itself known, to which the power of man is unable to offer any resistance. The human being only has to recognize Me in order to then enter into a relationship with Me from which the loving desire to come close to Me can develop. This is the only thing I want to achieve, that the being voluntarily turns towards Me as it once turned away from Me. But I cannot reveal Myself so obviously that the human being is forced to believe in Me, for this faith would be futile and it would never bring My living creations' love back to Me but only fear and submission or renewed flight downwards to My adversary. Yet how easy it would be for you to return to Me if you walked through the world with open eyes, if you paid more attention to everything in which human will and human activity is uninvolved .... you would think more about yourselves and your physical constitution, which alone could testify to the working of a powerful and wise being with Whom you should seek union. Yet you take all this for granted and yet it is striking proof of My existence, of an exceedingly perfect being to Whom you owe your existence. You could voluntarily start the return to Me, for I truly make it easy for you to recognize Me, Whom you once wanted to deny. But I do not force you .... But when earthly adversity approaches you I approach you Myself and only wait for you to call Me, so that your weakness and helplessness will make you remember Him Who is strong and mighty and Who loves you .... And if I achieve through adversity that you find your way to Me, then this adversity was blessed, for you shall not remain separated from Me forever, you shall return to Me again, you shall attain happiness and bliss which you once voluntarily gave away .... You shall be able to create and work with Me and in My vicinity in light and strength, but this is only possible if you unite with Me again and remain united until all eternity ....

Amen

No work of creation is pointless or purposeless ....

B.D. 8768 from March 2nd 1964, taken from Book No. 92

There is nothing in material creation what would be senseless and purposeless, even when you men cannot recognize the purpose. Everything once came into being to serve spiritual for ascent development, and this ascent development consists in serving, even so in bound will, in a state of compulsion, where everything takes place according to divine natural law. The serving purpose is not always apparent to man, and still every work of creation has come out of the hands of God, and in unsurpassable wisdom a function is assigned to it, which sometimes only concerns the spiritual itself, which is bound in those creations, that it keeps that spiritual "bound" to break its resistance, to cause it to strive for freedom. Because the spiritual, which is to develop upwards, is through its resistance against God-hardened spiritual, which has to give up its resistance, if it is to progress in its development. And such works of creation remain unchanged in their form through endless times, and still they fulfil a purpose .... that they enclose spiritual, and that this spiritual is already in (out of) the deepest depth and starts its course of development upwards in a work of creation. Because there is still endless much hardened spiritual substance, which has not yet started the way, which could not yet be enclosed by matter, because its resistance is still so strong that it could not yet become matter, that it did not let itself be enclosed by the love of God and still a long time can pass until also this spiritual once starts the way through the creations. But what you men see in creation, everything has a serving purpose, but which you men can prevent through your will, if you do not use the individual works of creation purposefully, if you hinder them through this at serving, which alone brings about their ascent development. The development and continuation of many creations is secured by precisely those works of creation which are able to fulfil their serving purpose. Because creation not only serves man but it secures its own existence because one work has come into being for the other and this is considered and determined in all love and wisdom by God, who lets nothing come into being without meaning and purpose because this contradicts His love and wisdom .... But whether you recognize every purpose is questionable as long as you yourselves as man still stand in a lower degree of maturity; but the realization will come to you with increasing maturity .... And only then the miracle of creation will touch you more and more, because then things will become clear to you, which you are hardly able to grasp, because they prove to you an infinitely powerful, loving and wise creator, Who has set Himself an aim and also surely reaches this aim. And so you humans should also make the right use of everything creation offers you. You should make use of its services, whatever it may be, for both hard matter .... the world of rocks, as well as the world of plants and animals, was created for you, that you always use it in the right way .... Every dissolving of the material outer form is a step further for the development of the spiritual bound in form. However, you should not unlawfully dissolve forms whose time is not yet fulfilled, for which you are certainly given the right assessment. You are not to make anything prematurely incapable of serving you, you are to adapt yourselves to the laws of nature, otherwise you yourselves are the sufferers .... Because as soon as spiritual becomes free prematurely, its influence on you men is a harmful one, because the immature spiritual takes revenge on men, who unlawfully interrupted its process of maturation. And this danger exists when man is too much attached to matter and he seeks to draw earthly benefit and he disregards the laws of nature. Everything must always take place in lawful order, then also an ascent development of everything is secured, what is still bound in creation as well as also in man himself and is once to receive its freedom. But divine order is mostly overturned, and that is why also spiritual development remains behind and requires a violent regulation, which also always then takes place when the danger exists that nothing is anymore used according to divine order and that the serving purpose is denied to the spiritual in every form .... Because nothing is in creation what would not have to fulfil a purpose; every work of creation serves the building up and the preservation of earth, and as long as earthly creations arise, the process of development is also not yet finished, which has the final return of the once fallen spiritual as its aim. And eternities will still pass; again and again new creations will arise, because still innumerable many original spirits wait for their change into matter, for their course through this matter and for their final return to their start from eternity .... But everything goes on in lawful order, and so also everything has an unfavourable effect what is contrary to this law of eternal order .... But once the aim will be reached, once everything will again be spiritualized, and once also all creations will only be of spiritual kind, which only still arise for endless happiness of the beings, because these now constantly create and work for their own happiness ...._>Amen

Hell .... judged matter ....

B.D. 4062 from June 14th 1947, taken from Book No. 50

As long as the spiritual is bound in the solid form, one can speak of judged matter, of the soul which is in judgement, for it is banished by the decision of Him from Whom it once emanated as strength. Judged matter is therefore everything which has not yet undergone any essential change or dissolution in infinitely long periods of time, which therefore, in a manner, does not yet betray life, for the spiritual bound in it is completely powerless and suffers dreadful agonies because it cannot free itself. And this is a pitiable state, it is a state which can be described as hell, which becomes eternity for the being and only improves when the being strives towards the light, i.e. when a support offered to it is no longer rejected.

(14.6.1947)

It is the environment which torments the being unspeakably, for it is in deepest darkness. Matter holds it captive .... it is bound and remains in resistance to God all the longer and becomes ever more powerless, for the being lacks God's power of love if it keeps itself distant from Him, and lack of God's power of love results in constant hardening, and thus the spiritual being's imprisonment does not become more bearable with the length of time but rather intensifies if the being is to find its way back to God again, from Whom it distanced itself of its own free will although it was offered the opportunity to approach Him. This state of hardening of matter occurs when God withdraws His power of love from the spiritual being, and since the being originates in power from God, everything divine is blissful, but wretchedness is a state of torment, the distance from God can therefore be regarded as hell, for it completely contradicts the original state and purpose of the creatural which originated from God, although it lacks the awareness of its self even in the furthest distance from God but still feels all torment. Yet he lacks realisation, for this is the inevitable consequence of the beingness' distance from God. Consequently, a change of his state, an improvement of his situation is also a matter of an endless long time. It is an eternity for the bound spiritual, and a change would never occur if the being alone were to bring it about through its will, for this is weakened to the utmost and gets no boost if it is not offered help on the part of divine mercy. And this will inevitably happen, yet the times God needs in order to persuade the spiritual substance which is opposed to Him to give up its resistance cannot be assessed by people on this earth, yet God's mercy will not drop any of His creations completely, for they emerged from His love and God's love will never cease. Material creations are constant evidence of God's love, they are an expression of His deepest mercy and also a testimony of His justice, just as the great guilt of a sin against God requires a punishment, an expiation of the guilt of sin. And again, the term 'eternal times' applies, for a human being cannot detect any passing away or dissolution or change of certain creations during his lifetime, and it is these which harbour the spiritual condemned to hell. And yet, the time of bursting comes one day even for the hardest material work of creation which releases the spiritual being bound within it .... One day God's mercy will be greater than His wrath, and one day the spiritual will enter the process of ascent again, one day the torments of hell will subside, they will diminish when the due penance for God's justice has been done. Then God's love comes into effect again, and it lifts the deeply fallen up to itself again. For God's love outshines everything, God's love does not allow eternal condemnation, for God's love there is no permanent separation from Him, for He desires His living creations and does not let go of them but seeks to make them happy because they are and will remain His for all eternity ....

Amen

Godly spiritual liberation of the bound of the form

Eruptions are an act of liberation for the spiritual substances bound in the solid form ....

B.D. 2175 from December 5th 1941, taken from Book No. 31

Endless times have passed by already and endless times will still pass by until the spiritualisation of that which is the fundamental substance of Creation will be completed. This process is so inconceivably laborious and requires such an infinitely long time because the initial resistance of the spiritual substance cannot be forcibly broken, but it has to decide to surrender it voluntarily, and therefore it cannot be interfered with to speed up the process. Only the exertion of exceptionally hard pressure can weaken the spiritual substance's will of resistance, hence the consistency of the visible creations appear to be almost indestructible in their initial stages and their disintegration is only possible again through violent events. Such violent disintegrations only take place through God's will when the spiritual substance has become so compliant that it no longer requires the insufferable state of constraint. Then God will loosen its restraints, and the previously hard form will disintegrate and reshape itself into new external forms, but they no longer signify such a painful state for the spiritual substance. Every violent breakdown of a formerly solid form is an act of liberation for the bound spirit within, at the same time, however, creations which shelter more mature spiritual substances will also become subject to change. For the forcible disintegration of a hard substance is a process which is felt by all spiritual beings far and wide. It is not a gradual decay but an elemental eruption of the spiritual substance which is momentarily granted freedom by God and which it uses in order to burst that which keeps it bound. Such eruptions entail momentous changes for those creations which are affected by the destruction.

All spiritual substances, including those already further developed, dispose of their old form in this way, unite with other released spiritual substances and take abode again in a new external form, depending whether these spirits are willing to fit in with a serving task. And thus through such violent disintegration the spiritual substance is induced to carry out a serving activity again, which signifies a relaxation from its previous constraint for the spiritual substance. This is why every forceful breakdown involves liberation, i.e. further development for the spiritual substance bound in the form, and is joyfully welcomed by it. It is only a sorrowful event for the spirit during the last stage of development, for it deprives this spirit of any further prospect of development on earth and therefore triggers dread and horror if it didn't make use of its last abode in the form while it had the opportunity. Yet such eruptions are necessary for the sake of the immature spiritual substance which cannot be released from its solid form by any other means. For as soon as it decides to be of service after an infinitely long time of resistance to God, it will also be granted the opportunity to do so by God ....

Amen

Inner Earth activity .... Eruptions ....

B.D. 2448 from August 13th 1942, taken from Book No. 33

Over the course of time changes occurred on earth, both in the interior as well as on the surface of earth. These are the result of the uninterrupted rotations around its own axis which caused shifts, and the elevations and depressions they created are still changing even now, that is, they are still shifting locally. Thus the Earth does not retain its external shape but has already gone through the most diverse alterations, even though its structure has remained the same. In contrast, the Earth’s interior is constantly active and also triggers changes on the surface of the earth from within. This can be noticed in the vegetation which, throughout millennia, has also changed and will never remain the same, even though these changes do no happen over a short period of time and therefore cannot be observed by people during their life on earth. These changes generally occur so slowly and are barely noticeable to the eye, and therefore require a very long time. However, every now and then unbridled activity erupts in the interior of the Earth and sudden transformations manifest themselves which cause immense destructions on the Earth’s surface and signify fear and horror for people. In that case the hitherto solid form dissolves and, incapable of withstanding the elements’ violent activity inside the Earth, is pushed with enormous force from the inside of the Earth to the surface where it spreads out and, in a completely new environment, tries to adapt itself to the existing mass of earth or to creations in nature .... Such elementary eruptions also understandably result in a complete transformation on the Earth’s surface .... They destroy the existing environment, revoke people’s established order and result in inconceivable chaos which causes severe confusion and anguish in people because they are unable to cope with such eruptions and are thereby thrown into entirely different living conditions. However, a transformation of the Earth’s surface has become necessary, although it can only be spiritually explained, since, from an earthly point of view, there is no recognisable progress in such a transformation, only a destruction and annihilation of what exists. But spiritually it is hugely significant.

The spiritual substance from within the Earth pushes upwards; it wants to start its process of development in the form. And it will need to live through countless phases until the spiritual substance can reach the final stage of its embodiment on earth. Having been bound in the hardest form for an unimaginably long time, the still undeveloped spiritual substance is given a certain amount of freedom so that it can release itself from this solid form, which it subsequently does with elementary force. People experience this manifestation of strength as a natural disaster which is, depending on its extent, more or less devastating for them. Although all spiritual substances will be constrained again, at first they will nevertheless inundate the plant and animal world and, to an even greater degree, people, by disturbing their tranquillity and posing a grave danger to them. It takes a very long time before such a change on the Earth’s surface takes place, because it cannot happen arbitrarily, but only with God’s permission, which He gives when the higher development of the spiritual beings grinds to a halt .... That is, when the being is in possession of free will and free will is no longer made use of. Then a balance must come about, and this happens when the still immature spiritual substance pushes the already further advanced spiritual substance into further phases of development, so that the latter will soon attain possession of free will. For this reason the Earth will always have to expect such changes from time to time and in different places, which have their natural origin in the constant activity of the elements in the interior of the Earth. Hence, the enlightened person understands natural disasters, for he not only realises the earthly, but also the spiritual necessity for this very same occurrence, and will always look upon them as God’s reign. He is aware of the necessity for higher development of the spiritual substances as well as of the beings’ low spiritual state, which animate the earth in the final external form, and of the opportunity for their deliverance .... Yet such natural events, which result in immense destruction, are incomprehensible to unenlightened people and neither do they recognise the spiritual nor the earthly value. Consequently, they will be horror-struck when the Earth’s interior begins to move and they find themselves utterly helpless and at the mercy of the raging of the elements. Nevertheless, that which was decided from the very beginning will come to pass without fail as soon as the Creator of Heaven and Earth deems the time to be right.

Disasters in nature and their spiritual explanation ....

B.D. 2449 from August 14th 1942, taken from Book No. 33

The earth is in perpetual rotation around itself and never stays in immobility. This is also the explanation for the development of the earth from the original liquid mass to the solid earth body, which now has become whereabouts for creatures of all kinds. But the core of the earth is always still liquid and is also so long unsuitable for any creature as stay, until it has solidified. Breaks now this liquid mass a path to the surface through eruptions, so this is synonymous with a complete destruction of all creatures on this surface, and therefore such eruptions are feared by people and animals, because it brings their complete destruction. The divine wisdom allows therefore those only in cases of extreme necessity, this means, first the will of God must precede by each outbreak, before it can take place, and this is justified in His love and wisdom .... The forces within the earth must be constantly active, because this activity means for the earth, that means for all beings on the surface of earth, possibility of life, as well as the earth is total solidified, any vegetation stops. This inner activity of spiritual forces is thus already a certain serving for the redemption of the spiritual, and therefore it must also even be given the possibility to these forces, to begin their course of development on earth, even though immemorial time must pass, before this spiritual can begin the change of form on earth. Every natural disaster can also be an end of the career on earth for the most higly developed being, for the human, but it is at the same time the beginning of an earth period of incomprehensible long time again for the very immature spiritual, and therefore to be regarded as God’s will. All creation is only for the purpose, to develop the spiritual to the height .... If now a higher development of the soul is no longer aimed by the humans, the purpose and the aim of earth life are disregarded, so God ends this life and at the same time He gives the possibility of an ongoing development for the spiritual, standing in the beginning of development .... He annihilates as it were, to let raise up new creations through the work of destruction, which involve the spiritual in itself again, to that one was granted the grace of going on earth. Because nothing happens without sense and purpose, where God’s love and wisdom reigns ....

Godly participation of the people in the redemption of the spirit of the form

2915 - ?resNotTranslated?

Transforming matter .... activity - blessing .... redemption ....

B.D. 3993 from March 7th 1947, taken from Book No. 49

Divine love is not always recognizable but it is always at work to help people as well as all spiritual substances which still languish unredeemed in material form. Every change is a help, and that is why the human being should also participate in the transformation of that which surrounds him as matter if it does not fulfil a serving purpose. Your love for the unredeemed is also expressed in the fact that you help him in spiritual adversity, and you can do this as soon as you open up serving possibilities for him. Everything that surrounds you suffers agony if it cannot be active, for it has the will to do so and has always been incorporated into the form on the basis of its will, which has a serving activity as its purpose, thus the human being must contribute to the spiritual not being prevented from serving in order not to prolong its agony but to help it to become free from its form. But the human being's thoughts and aspirations are directed towards acquiring possessions, towards collecting riches, and consequently he will only use a small part of his material possessions for their actual purpose, while the other, far greater part of his possessions will remain inactive because they are not permitted to be of service. And thus it is understandable how necessary a dissolution of the form of that spiritual substance has become, which for a long time was already bound in matter without having been conveyed to its actual purpose; it is understandable that God Himself helps the spiritual substance where the human being's help fails, where his greed for earthly possessions drove him to collect material goods without taking the actual purpose of those goods into account. It is understandable that God has taken these goods from people and thereby gives the spiritual being, which is still in matter, increased opportunity to serve and redeem itself. And at the same time He exerts pressure on the human being to take part in the work of redemption by letting him get into situations of hardship which are meant to impel him to carry out material transformations in order to make unusable matter usable again. The human being is given innumerable possibilities to be creative and creatively active in times when all possessions have been destroyed, and he should exhaust these possibilities so that it will be a blessing for himself and for spiritual matter, so that lively activity will begin everywhere .... For this alone is redeeming and increases the spiritual's degree of maturity, whereas inactivity means a standstill of the spiritual's development and will never find God's approval. The gathering of earthly goods will only be beneficial if increased activity arises from it, if all spiritual substances bound in it are admitted to an activity which corresponds to their purpose .... if the material goods find the use which corresponds to their nature. And this has to be helped by people, for the spiritual substance in matter is mostly dependent on people's help insofar as they have to assign it its purpose or let new creations arise through their will and vitality where the spiritual substance was deprived of the opportunity to serve. And that is why the work of eager hands is a great blessing, that is why diminished material possessions will always encourage eager activity and this will be of greatest advantage for the spiritual substance as well as for the human being himself, for the process of redemption of all spiritual substances can only continue if it is enabled to be of service and can thereby overcome the external form again and again until, as a human being, it can carry out service and thereby finally redeem itself ....

Redemption of the bound in the environment ....

B.D. 7065 from March 13th 1958, taken from Book No. 75

You can all contribute to the redemption of the spiritual as soon as only your love embraces everything which still remains in bondage and therefore in wretchedness. Love is the only remedy, for love is a barrier which you erect against the adversary, which prevents his activity. If you think of the wretched, bound spiritual being completely powerless against the adversary (that it still belongs to the adversary) .... and want to help it and use your strength to release it, then you are truly doing a work of redemption of utmost importance, for this spiritual's ascent development will be facilitated, it will be able to integrate itself more quickly into the laws of divine order and can also more easily break the external form and be more quickly conceived into new deformations, so that it will reach maturity more quickly. And you humans achieve this redemption of the bound spiritual through those activities which you consciously carry out in love under God's blessing .... be it through the creation of material things which fulfil a serving purpose or also through helping to serve .... if only you are always moved by the will to help this bound spiritual to progress. Every work will then, apart from its actual purpose, also have a spiritual effect which, although you cannot see it, is undeniably beneficial for the bound spiritual substance and also transfers you into an outer sphere of life, so that the spiritual substance in matter and also in the world of nature opens up to you and thus you yourselves emit emanations and thus your proximity already has a soothing effect on the still bound spiritual substance. You can believe that you are already doing tremendous redemption work when you embrace everything around you with loving thoughts. However, not with a love that wants to possess, but with a love that wants to pity, make happy and help everything that serves you in daily life. The spiritual bound in matter feels this love and is always more willing to serve you .... And already this is the beginning of 'giving up resistance' .... But you yourselves then live a conscious life, conscious of your own task and also conscious of the state of all creatures and all created things. And if you yourselves have entered into a state of love which embraces everything, even so-called dead matter, it will also be easy for you to establish just order within yourselves, because love will then be the power which also accomplishes to calm substances which are still ungodly and to help them to spiritualization. You must therefore, as it were, wage a battle with the one who still has those substances under his control .... But against him you can only fight with the weapon of love .... This is an irrevocable law that God's adversary can only be wrested his share through love. And if you now know that even the spiritual substance bound in matter succumbs to your strength of love, that it approaches you and, as it were, gives up its resistance in your hands, that it allows itself to be transformed by your will in order to be of service, then it will not be difficult for you to believe that you also achieve the same transformation within yourselves through love .... that you have such an effective weapon in love against the enemy of your souls that he will gain less and less influence on those spiritual substances which still dwell in your bodily shell as disorderly .... Love can achieve everything, love also takes pain upon itself if it can thereby accomplish a work of salvation .... And you humans have to muster this unselfish love, for the adversary can no longer offer resistance to this love, he will then flee the place where he is only ever confronted by love because his power is broken there. But first this means that you must shape yourselves into love, only then will you also have the strength to be active in redemption yourselves. And everything needs help, both your fellow human beings as well as all works of creation which surround you, be it matter, plants or animals .... All of them can be helped in the maturing of their spiritual substances by you who, as I-conscious beings, are in the last stage of your development .... If you radiate a lot of love, then everything in your environment will also be affected by this love and be moved to relax its resistance, it will feel your emanation of love beneficially and, as it were, enter into your will to fulfil its task in a helpful way .... but it will also feel and harden every unkind radiation and then also reveal this through abnormal development, through malignancy or unfavourable influence on its environment. What could you humans achieve if love determined your whole being to think and act? And truly, no disorderly states would become noticeable in and on yourselves, because your love would also constantly secure the influx of strength from God and this truly achieves everything .... thus also able to create order in a way to which all still immature spiritual substances willingly submit. You will achieve nothing by force but everything with love .... And you can therefore become healthy in soul and body if you lovingly try to put everything in the right order .... Then love will change everything that previously expressed itself in an ungodly way, the soul will be freed from all coverings by virtue of love, and the body will also cease to be active in an ungodly way, because love now denies the adversary all access, because where love is, his activity has now become impossible ....

Premature destruction of the solid form and its consequences

Destruction of works of creation and its consequences ....

B.D. 3300 from October 20th 1944, taken from Book No. 43

Everything visible to your eyes testifies to God’s love, it was created to help the fallen substance, to elevate it from its sunken state again, and therefore every work of creation should be seen as an emanation of divine love and be respected and valued accordingly. None of God’s creations may be wilfully destroyed, for then its function, its intended purpose, will be prevented. And neither may human work be destroyed which also has a function .... the function to be helpful. For every work of creation that originated from God’s will was given this function, otherwise it could not result in higher development of the substance. And human creations are also assessed in relation to their function .... As long as they have the task of being useful, as long as they somehow serve other people or even other creations, they contribute towards the development of the substance and fulfil their purpose.

To destroy such creations results in the interruption of the spirit’s progress of development and can never be justified before God .... as in fact all destruction of matter has to be motivated by love to be justifiable before God .... Consequently, if destruction takes place for the purpose of producing objects which are helpful to people, which serve a useful purpose, the destruction is justified for the love of other people. However, any other destruction is sacrilege .... sacrilege against other people and against God, Whose power created things which truly have another purpose than to fall victim to the human will of destruction .... And this sacrilege avenges itself badly ....

When the driving force of hatred and unkindness between people destroys matter then people also have to pay for it .... materially, because they lose things that had fulfilled a useful purpose, as well as spiritually, and the latter in a particularly painful way .... Because spirit has been freed against its will and before its time, and this spirit disturbs all substances in its environment but especially the human being by permanently appearing before his soul’s eyes, that is, by constantly occupying his thoughts with the lost objects. This is extremely harmful to the soul since it inhibits its development. It is held back from spiritual aspiration, its senses are constantly directed towards material things and therefore the creations can quietly torment a human being when they are unavailable to him, when they fall prey to the human will of destruction.

Every work of creation by God, or by a human being who just wants to work constructively, should be respected. The destructive principle denotes the actions of God’s opponent .... And at this moment in time he is raging in the world .... He induces people to God-opposing behaviour against His creations, he has awakened the destructive urge in people because they lack love and no longer understand the meaning and purpose of creation. And this shall result in serious consequences. God will counteract the human work of destruction, which is the influence of the evil power, with a far greater work of destruction but which is entirely warranted in God’ love ....

He shall liberate the spirit which is willing to walk the way of service on earth from endless long captivity .... He shall release the solid matter so that the human destructive will is stopped and human beings learn to see earthly creations for what they are: means for development as long as they can exercise their useful function. This divine destructive action will affect people even far more seriously; however, this is necessary so that they return to the right way of thinking, that they respect and appreciate every work of creation, that they understand its function and once again occupy themselves constructively. Because this and only this is divine order: that everything in existence shall progress and that every human work of creation shall also be a guarantee for the development of spirit as long as it fulfils its useful purpose, as long as the human will to be of help has produced it ....

Amen

Destructive will of God's adversary .... Bound spirits - Human being ....

B.D. 4965 from September 10th 1950, taken from Book No. 56

Everything that is transient in the world belongs to My adversary, that is, all matter shelters imperfect spirits which My adversary once turned against Me and which therefore still oppose Me. Material Creation came into being through My will and he has no authority over it. And yet, this world belongs to him, for he can boast that the spiritual substances bound in matter are the product of his will. However, My will caused the emergence of material Creation in order to remove the spirits from their creator's control and he will never ever be able to destroy My work of love and compassion although it is his constant endeavour. He certainly would like to liberate the spirits from the bound state I placed them in for the purpose of attaining beatitude, for as free beings the imperfect spirits would never strive towards ascent but, under the control of My adversary, would continue to descend ever further into the abyss. For this reason I removed his power over these spiritual beings and created forms he is unable to destroy, because they are My consolidated will. Thus, My adversary has no control over the spiritual substances which are still bound in matter .... However, he tries to use it all the more on the final material form which shelters the spiritual being, on the human being in the stage of free will .... He cannot force the human being to become enslaved by him yet he can seduce him in every way and try to cause him to maliciously destroy material creations as well. Thus, he uses the human being in order to accomplish his will after all .... the destruction of matter .... It is, however, up to the human being to comply with his will or to offer him resistance. And in order to win a person over for his disgraceful plans My adversary enticingly presents that to him which he himself would like to be destroyed. He tries to arouse or to increase the human being's greed for matter and thereby also trigger instincts in him which do not shy away from destroying matter in order to enrich himself or to amass possessions, thereby taking their actual purpose of releasing themselves through being of service away from them, because the human being himself prevents the inherent spiritual substance from being helpful.

Consequently, what the enemy is unable to destroy he wants to prevent from developing further. He tries to give permanence to that which is impermanent, if his destructive will cannot reach it. And the human being obeys him only too gladly as long as matter is enticing to him and he constantly aims to increase it. If My adversary succeeds in tempting people into becoming destructively active, then the prematurely released spirits will wreak so much havoc that it will revoke the order, so that chaos will ensue which will also affect those people who want to withdraw from My adversary's influence. For the devious spiritual beings will cause destruction everywhere, which will always happen through My adversary's initiative who will once again exert his influence over the released spirits. This is why they will be bound again by My will .... Due to the individual person's impulse of preservation, people, whose material possessions were destroyed, will constantly create works for helpful purposes again in which the spirits which escaped from matter will be bound once more for their continued maturing. And these works will then be even more eagerly of service, because the inherent spiritual substance will sense the relief of having been integrated into the process of development again, which it involuntarily had to abandon. It will sense the benefit of order which forms the basis for all My creations, in contrast to My adversary's unlawful activity, which it is indeed subject to in a free state but which does not make it happy. The human being can, by virtue of his free will and My grace, which is at his disposal, resist My adversary and contribute considerably towards preventing him from destroying matter if he helps it to fulfil a serving function and only destroys it if matter is given a higher function of service. Then the human being will keep removing himself ever further from My adversary's influence, then he will completely submit himself to My will by releasing himself and also help the spiritual substance in matter to progress in its development by not granting My adversary any power at all over himself and also trying to release matter from him, by making sure that the human being's will always resists My adversary ....

Premature destruction .... hoarding earthly goods ....

B.D. 6666 from October 12th 1956, taken from Book No. 71

In development-standing-spirit holds every work of creation that is visible to your eyes. And its development progresses upwards as soon as these creations correspond to their purpose. And thus it will also be understandable to you that such creations may not be unlawfully prevented from fulfilling their purpose, which, however, is the case when malicious destruction takes place of that which serves the human being or other creations in any way before it has fulfilled its purpose, thus it naturally approaches decay .... Then the spiritual's course of development is interfered with against God's will, and such interferences also have a damaging effect on the human being himself, because the spiritual lets off steam, which becomes unlawfully free until it is bound again in creations of the same kind. For the maturing of the spiritual takes its time, and as soon as people live their lives in divine order, this time granted to the spiritual is also always paused .... For only such interventions on the part of people are harmful which do not have the motive of love as their cause. The dissolution or destruction of hard matter as well as of the already more mature-spiritual plant and animal world can also take place, which have love for the neighbour as their motive, if something is to be created which is a blessing for people. Then people's beginnings will also be blessed by God, and then the purpose of those creations will be fulfilled, as it were, and the spiritual will only take on new external forms in order to ascend further. For only through service .... even if in the law of compulsion .... can the spiritual develop ascend, which is why it is also an offence against divine order if hoarding earthly goods prevents them from being of service .... Then the spiritual is certainly bound but the service in the works of creation is denied to it, as well as earthly things remain unused, as well as treasures are collected which are not used for their actual purpose. Only service will ever redeem the spiritual, and therefore every human activity will also be blessed by God which helps the spiritual to be of service .... which therefore lets such things arise which serve their fellow human beings again, which correspond to a useful purpose and are therefore also used, because hoarding such things prolongs the course of development, because it delays the spiritual being's ascent development and causes it useless torment and also demonstrates the human being's still immature spiritual state which takes pleasure in hoarding earthly treasures. The bound spiritual substance finds it beneficial when it resides in a sphere where divine order is observed, for as soon as it is permitted to be of service the torments experienced by the spiritual substance in its bondage will diminish and the resistance will also diminish, and the present external form will mean less and less restraint until it is allowed to be burst by the spiritual substance which, through service, has now attained a degree of maturity again which allows for a new, less solid external form .... Everything spiritual in matter has to redeem itself through service, and you humans should contribute to it that it is offered the opportunity .... Whatever you create through the ability given to you by God, you should .... only ever be concerned that it serves your fellow human beings. You should beware of malicious destruction, you should not prematurely prevent any works of creation from fulfilling their purpose, for by doing so you interrupt the course of development of the spiritual, and depending on the motives which drive your actions such destructions also have an unfavourable effect on you humans yourselves, for what does not correspond to the law of divine order also has an effect in accordance with it, and the law of divine order for the human being will always read: Serve in love .... thus also to protect his fellow human being so that he does not fall victim to the raging of the released spiritual .... For he, too, has the right to defend himself if his course of development is unlawfully disturbed ....

Inventions .... forces of nature .... faith ....

B.D. 1011 from July 19th 1939, taken from Book No. 19

In the age of modern technology, the forces of nature will make a particularly noticeable appearance, as the aim is to prove to people that all earthly ability and knowledge is of no use if the will of God is not respected. The more a person is convinced of himself and his abilities, the more likely he is to deny divine power and his own dependence on it. And the more necessary it is then that the divine power expresses itself. The human being's development necessitates all kinds of facilities to which the divine creator gives His blessing if they arise for the benefit and piety of all humanity .... And all spirit, which is expressed in technical inventions, seeks to have a favourable effect on humanity in order to facilitate its striving for the heights, and thus to a certain extent places itself at the service of humanity. However, it is unexplored forces that provide support where man becomes arrogant. And it is precisely these forces that assert themselves in unforeseen natural disasters .... no matter what kind. Wherever man believes that he has found infallible proof that he can utilize some natural force and banish it by his own efforts, an unjustified natural force comes into play and renders previous experience invalid. Man is given the ability by God to utilize the power from God, but always in the same proportion as he relates himself to God. And that person who recognizes God Himself in all natural power will be able to show undreamt-of success .... who, as it were, tackles all work with God that is for the good of humanity and extends to inventions of all kinds. His research and attempts will be crowned with success, and the divine power will, as it were, overflow into such inventions, while the person who believes to draw from himself and is aware of his extraordinary power (will certainly also request the power from God and will not withhold it from him, but he) will to a certain extent take possession of it unlawfully because he presumes to exclude divinity and thus does not subordinate himself to the divine will .... A counter-current will soon make itself felt there. Obstacles upon obstacles will stand in the way of the person working without divine assistance and he will not be able to master them as he relies on himself and does not ask for help .... And these obstacles will again be due to forces of nature, because everything that acts contrary to divine order will, as it were, also have to bear the consequences of this. And thus, despite overcoming many technical difficulties, the human being will always be backward as long as he does not see in the reign of the natural elements proof that all forces in nature are subject to a lord and creator and that his endeavours will therefore only be successful when he himself likewise fits into the divine order and he is only willing to carry out what corresponds to God's will ....

Laws of nature .... reshaping and overexploitation of the earth ....

B.D. 0737 from January 8th 1939, taken from Book No. 15

In the visible world all laws in nature are given by the creator in such a way that the slightest contravention causes an equally visible destruction of what has been created, and thus the divine will and His omnipotence must remain active in order to preserve what exists. Thus no being, whether from the spiritual or earthly world, can arbitrarily bring about a change in natural events which would not be in accordance with the creator's will. Thus, man will never be able to influence the laws of nature in any way and his endeavour to overturn them on his own would be in vain. However, man is entitled to many possibilities to co-operate in God's will and thus to participate in the shaping or reshaping of the earth's surface, thus in a certain sense also to be creative already on earth. But then the will of man must always submit to the divine will if the created works are to endure. All human actions must conform to the laws of nature, as disregarding these can result in immediate destruction or even a slow decay of the whole. Where the forces of nature, which correspond to God's will, prove to be conducive to earthly activity, all human activity will also be favoured, i.e. man will then only carry out what is the will of the eternal deity, even if seemingly of his own free will, whereas all activity that is not willed by God, as contrary to the laws of nature, will only produce unsuccessful results. Often the consequences are not immediately noticeable and this leads the human being to the erroneous conclusion that he can act according to his own judgement, but then the harmful effects for humanity are far more extensive, but even then they are often not yet proof to the deluded human being of his wrong actions and thoughts. In the same way, the theft of the earth, in and on earth, will have a terrifying effect on people if it assumes proportions which do not correspond to God's will .... (interruption)

(continuation of no. 737) Laws of nature .... Reshaping and overexploitation of the earth ....

B.D. 0738 from January 8th 1939, taken from Book No. 15

Subsequently, all reorganization will probably be promoted and attempts will be made to draw the consequences by presenting all damage that arises as inevitable for the necessity of life, but this will only be possible until the most serious consequences become apparent, which will have a life-threatening effect on people. For the lesser evil is want, but to want to remedy this by jeopardizing life is contrary to divine order and therefore against the laws of nature. This is why the lord warns against any violent intervention in His work of creation if people do not want to expose themselves to destruction; and it is far more advisable to be content with little and not to want to extract the earth's produce in excess, for if this is done merely to increase earthly goods, the divine creator will not give His approval, for such endeavours would not be constructive but destructive and must therefore have a detrimental effect on humanity. However, if you base all your actions and dispositions solely on concern for humanity's well-being .... that is, that only humanity's needs are to be met while putting your own earthly advantage second, then the creator's will to love will become active and endeavour to amply replace what was taken from the earth for the benefit of humanity, for then people are not acting in accordance with their own will but God's, and this is not an offence against the laws of nature but fully complies with divine order. The course of the world will provide the proof that all destruction has its origin in insatiable greed for earthly possessions and that God's will will put a stop where a certain limit is reached if He does not want to let humanity completely fall prey to destruction. Man can therefore never act contrary to divine laws with impunity if he does not want to endanger himself and his fellow human beings in body and soul .... (interruption)

(continuation of No. 737 and 738) Laws of nature .... Reshaping and overexploitation of the earth ....

B.D. 0739 from January 9th 1939, taken from Book No. 15

Therefore, hear the voice from above: It is a daring game to want to defy nature, and in areas that are supposed to serve the quiet, peaceful people to nourish their bodies, the overexploitation of the earth is pushed too hard. In such areas, immature nature spirits must be released in vast numbers, which will now also express themselves, and their activity will by no means remain hidden from the environment, but the eruptions of the earth's interior will prepare themselves, which are precisely the activity of such released nature spirits. Only those people can understand such a process who try to imagine what tremendous activity must develop when the rigid form, which harbours spiritual substances within itself, is suddenly released and all spiritual substances, which can never remain inactive, now enter into full activity .... that this activity must now somehow express itself. People do not consider that they themselves are the ones who suffer and that the activity of the spirits of nature makes itself felt in such a way that sooner or later people's peace will be seriously disturbed by changes in nature, which in turn call people's nourishment into question and also make themselves felt in other ways by having an unfavourable effect on people's mind, on their soul, and thus the people inhabiting such regions are exposed to serious influences from the immature spiritual beings that have become free. Only a spiritually advanced person can truly recognize and judge this .... people without such knowledge take all these phenomena for granted and don't know that they themselves are to blame for the physically and mentally miserable situation they find themselves in on earth, and that only due to the strong desire for gain, which is the reason why people try to penetrate the earth in order to extract as much value from it as possible .... .... Yet such striving can never meet with the creator's approval, and thus acting against His will and against the laws of nature will also result in a transformation of the earth which will not have a favourable effect on people and even less on their souls. For man should not fight against the laws of nature if he does not want to suffer damage to body and soul ....

Pollution of air - water - food ....

B.D. 6855 from June 23rd 1957, taken from Book No. 73

Every human being may expect from you what you expect from him. You should give justice to everyone just as you demand the same from them. You should not apply different sets of standards and believe that you have greater rights than your fellow human being in those instances where you are beneficiaries of what has freely been bestowed upon you by Me .... what you have not acquired yourselves but what is at the disposal of all people equally .... meaning those spiritual and earthly riches which My love and My creative will always place at your disposal.

This includes all gifts which you receive from My hand .... which you cannot produce yourselves, which are present without your involvement and which contribute towards your continued existence .... which are necessary for your natural life and which may not be taken away from any human being if his life should not be endangered. These are the life preserving elements to which every human being is entitled and which may not be taken away from him by other people or the offence against My eternal order has far reaching consequences which not only affects the guilty people but also the creations and can even result in their termination.

You will understand this by merely asking yourselves what elements of life you require and imagine their diversity .... when you experience air and water and their composites and effect on yourselves, which give the human being complete health but which can also result in illness and destruction of the body's organs when, due to human will, contamination of air and water occurs that causes incalculable damage .... And the sinfulness of people already shows itself in the fact that they are not afraid to pollute these particularly important life preserving elements such that it brings about life threatening damage to their fellow human beings .... And just as every human being holds his own life dear he sins when he reduces his fellow human being's most essential necessities of life, when he plays a part in jeopardizing the life of other people .... In addition, 'endangering life' also includes when the soil, which produces nourishment for human and animal life, becomes deprived of its natural quality; when, by the use of artificial agents, the designated land for cultivation takes on a different quality, the products of which now also contain substances that are by no means beneficial for the human body. Human beings are interfering with natural law, what's more, they want to improve, that is, they portray My creations as imperfect, they want to increase the soil's yield and are using the wrong methods for that .... since they need only ask for My blessing to achieve truly blessed harvests as well ....

Another sin in this respect is the harvesting of fruit before it has ripened .... when, because of greed and materialistic thought, harvesting takes place in advance of the natural process of ripening and when, as a result, the human body is forced to fight against as yet immature substances .... which is not a merely physical but also a spiritual matter which is frequently unknown to you. But all this is integral to the disregard of My law of eternal order. The human being damages his fellow human, he does not treat him fairly and he contributes towards the steady increase of chaos on earth because only an earthly life lived within lawful order can have the right effect for body and soul.

Every human being has the right to have the order of nature upheld because I made creation for the whole of humanity and not just for one human being. Every person requires clean air, clean water and good food for his physical life and no human being is entitled to cause harm to another that he wouldn't want to be caused to himself.

But during the last period before the end there is no more consideration for the life of other people, all kinds of unscrupulous experiments take place, and always just because of ambition, greed or hunger for power, which endangers all healthy life. Thus he who wants to destroy all living creations to release the constrained spirit within in the mistaken assumption that it will then belong to him again, is triumphant .... All people who act in opposition to divine order have handed themselves over to him, they follow his suggestions and ignore My commandments which require love and justice ....

Everyone just thinks of himself and his own advantage, and the fate of other people leaves him untouched. The life of his fellow human being is no longer sacred to him, otherwise it couldn't come to what is to be expected with certainty: that the life of all human beings will be gambled with because the divine laws of nature will be overthrown .... because one day the elements will forcefully break through. Human beings themselves will be the cause of this because they sin against divine order, against My commandment to love God and their fellow human beings ....

Amen

Decline of vegetation .... Storms - Tempests ....

B.D. 1888 from April 14th 1941, taken from Book No. 28

It is by no means by chance that the earth's surface vegetation has changed as far as it involves stretches of land where human will and activity played a determining part. This particularly applies to forests or tree plantations which have fallen prey to human destructive will, which will not remain without influence on the climate as well as the condition of the soil.

Such deforestation represents a great danger to humanity if it takes place before its time, that is, before the spiritual substances in the plant creations have sufficiently matured to animate the next form. For these prematurely released spiritual substances don't leave the place of their interrupted stay without claiming appropriate compensation by pestering the spiritual substances in their vicinity and, in their unconstrained state, frequently express themselves undesirably, from which they are not prevented by God either. Thus people in those areas will have to suffer extraordinary storms and devastations which will also severely impair the growth of the entire plant world. But where there is very little vegetation other disorders also manifest themselves. The water conditions leave much to be desired, that is, the absence of a constant supply of water turns the earth's soil into sand. And thus such stretches of land can become barren and desolate, and although people believe they have no influence over it they are nevertheless the actual cause of whole stretches of land becoming barren and excessively dry.

The danger is now that this will not be recognised and that people will thoughtlessly sacrifice constantly more areas of land to their greed for profit, for this is usually the reason why whole areas waste away. If the human being destroys creations for the sake of earthly gain it is a deliberate acknowledgment of the evil power. For the sake of money and monetary value he interferes with the divine plan of creation which gave everything its function and not least of all the whole world of plants on the earth's surface. But such interference also has to have an appropriate effect, albeit these consequences are not so immediately recognisable but require a certain length of time.

Storms and tempests will alarmingly increase, floods will make plant cultivation difficult, and this will result in a decline of vegetation and simultaneously restrict the spiritual opportunities of development for the substances which want to take abode in the plant world corresponding to their degree of maturity and are thus prevented from doing so, which will result in constantly new storms and tempests ....

Explanation about strokes of fate ....

B.D. 6330 from August 10th 1955, taken from Book No. 68

The struggle in the spiritual world for people's souls is becoming increasingly more fierce. The world of light is incessantly active to influence people's will, but the forces of darkness do the same and the human being is far more inclined to comply with the latter's will, because their tendency for matter is strong and these dark powers exert their influence through material goods and pleasures. Whatever can be done in order to detach people's mind from matter is done by the beings of light .... often much at the expense of people's suffering but nevertheless in a spirit of love, only in order to help people .... The end, which will disintegrate all material things that people possess, comes ever closer, and then they will have to relinquish everything and will be unable to retain anything .... Yet they do not want to believe in the ultimate destruction of earthly possessions, consequently prior to it they must experience time and again the transience of what they strive for with all senses. The beings of light find little access to people's thoughts and their suggestions are not listened to .... that is, people don't spend any time on such thoughts as to be able to be mentally instructed by the beings of light. For this reason, they must be subjected to forcible interventions, so that they start to think about the transience of earthly possessions. And only in this way can you humans explain to yourselves the many strokes of fate which entail the loss of earthly-material goods or of human lives as well .... in catastrophes or accidents, in all kinds of destructions .... All these are merely means which are used by the spiritual world according to divine will, they simply express, in a more profound way, the struggle for the souls which are in grave danger of losing themselves to God's adversary, because they have completely lost themselves to matter, which is their downfall. There is not much time left until the end. Hence, there will also have to be an alarming increase of such strokes of fate which still offer a small probability that they will encourage people to deliberate on them .... The battle in the spiritual world is exceptionally fierce, yet the world of light does not fight against the world of darkness, instead, both fight for people's souls .... the human being himself is the object of dispute, the human being himself must decide the battle, and each world uses the means through which it hopes to succeed .... All suffering and hardships, all events which have a serious impact on you humans are means used by the world of light, which only has your best interests at heart, whose love for you only ever does what denotes certain help for you if you don't resist it .... Yet a good lifestyle and affluence, earthly joys and worldly pleasures are only every the adversary's means, and you should avoid these and don't delight in their possession .... For your lifetime on earth is but short, and then you will have overcome all difficulties, you will be compensated for your arduous life if it resulted in spiritual success for you, so that you voluntarily detached yourselves from matter and your soul acquired spiritual possessions .... Don't desire that which very soon will be taken away from you, but gather spiritual possessions which no-one can take away from you and which will follow you into eternity ....

Amen

Mischief and misery .... God's will or permission ....

B.D. 6635 from September 4th 1956, taken from Book No. 71

The worldly man is satisfied with what satisfies his bodily senses and does not deprive himself of anything that satisfies his senses, even if he believes that he is indulging in 'spiritual' pleasures and only understands this to mean intellectually acquired goods, if he occupies himself with knowledge which again only concerns earthly things. Thus he feels good and does not deprive himself of anything because his soul does not push itself forward with its desire and cannot push itself forward either, since the body has the upper hand. But this state of contentment does not last until death, or only very rarely, because such a person usually ruins himself physically, because illnesses or increasing age prohibit those earthly pleasures or the fulfilment of bodily desires and the person is then often forced to think about himself, about his life and about the purpose of existence. And then God's love approaches him again and again and tries to hold him back from the world, He tries to impart strength to the soul that it influences the human being from within to detach himself from the previous striving and to free himself from worldly thoughts .... But the soul will only penetrate if it has a certain amount of strength which, however, must come to it from outside .... through help which can consist of good conversation, spiritual conversations or transmission of the divine word, through good books or through loving intercession of a fellow human being .... From this the soul receives the strength to also influence the body, and then a slow change of thinking can occur, and the rest of earthly life can still be used well for the maturing of the soul. Illness, misfortune and earthly hardship are therefore indispensable for people who give themselves too much to the world and are often the best and only means to learn to recognize the world's staleness. And these means are therefore used again and again and become ever more apparent the more humanity turns its gaze to the world. And that is why increased enjoyment of life, excessive earthly pleasures and the sensual performances of the worldly side will always be accompanied by phenomena of a negative kind, by misfortunes, illnesses and blatant misery, which is based on excessive enjoyment of life. People should, as it were, already experience in their own bodies the devastating effects which hedonism and intemperance produce, and they should thereby learn to recognize what the body actually is and what the life they have led up to now has brought them. For other means are unsuccessful with such worldly people, but these can still achieve what ideas and good speeches could not .... that they distance themselves from the world and escape the greatest danger of being devoured by it. For this reason, all apparent disaster in the last days should be regarded as divine will or permission which can also still have a beneficial effect, even if it is caused maliciously or also testifies to adversarial activity .... It can always bring people to their senses and result in a turning away from the world, and then their soul will be saved from a far worse fate after its recall from this world ....

Amen

Premature departure from the world .... Purpose ....

B.D. 3258 from September 16th 1944, taken from Book No. 42

People are repeatedly reminded of the transience of earthly things, and they are constantly confronted by death when many people pass away prematurely and when they are helpless in the face of events which cause suffering and despair to human beings. Yet they will not change their mind nor think about the real reason for suffering and untimely death. Thus the suffering becomes ever more painful and humanity will observe world events with horror and turn numb at the size of the disaster that engulfs it. Humanity, however, is asking for it, since the despair of the time leaves people entirely indifferent and they derive no gain for their souls. And therefore God applies the harshest measures to disturb their lethargy, because in spite of people’s earthly and bodily suffering their souls remain uncaring, they remain indifferent to the blows of fate or they would attempt to change in the knowledge that their spiritual attitude is the cause of the increased suffering on earth.

Hence many people have to depart prematurely from this life because a longer life would be detrimental rather than beneficial for their souls as they would lose their faith completely and only take care of their physical life. In spite of their inadequate state of maturity God therefore allows the loss of countless human lives to prevent their regression, to give them the opportunity to fully mature in the beyond, because the situation on earth does not remain hidden from them, they can observe the developments and become aware that due to the neglect of their soul’s salvation, due to their wrong way of life, due to their lack of faith and unkind thoughts, human beings themselves are responsible for the severe suffering on earth.

In addition, people who are called away by God prematurely can still become aware when faced with death, they can still truly unite with God, they can still become purified due to intense suffering, and thus achieve a higher degree of maturity which they would not have attained during a longer earthly life, and then a premature parting from earth is a blessing for them. And irrespective of how much earthly suffering exists, it is only a means for the benefit of souls .... yet few people understand this as such. The magnitude of hardship is intended to direct their path to God Who can and will banish every distress if the human being faithfully awaits His help. However, when even the immense suffering is unsuccessful, when human beings forget about Him and are in greatest danger to finally strive towards the abyss, God shall end many an earthly life and permit apparently inhuman disasters because He forever considers the human souls and aims to save these even though the body will perish as a result .... because God never does wrong but only what is good and a blessing for the human soul ....

Amen

Indications of disasters ....

B.D. 7475 from December 11th 1959, taken from Book No. 79

Soon it will become obvious to you how transient everything is that belongs to the world, because you will hear more and more often about destruction by the forces of nature, about all kinds of accidents and disasters and the unexpected deaths of many people .... And no-one knows whether and when they might have to suffer the same fate, no-one knows when their last hour will come. Yet each person knows that they cannot take anything along into eternity .... Therefore they should let-up in their earthly striving, in their chasing after all sorts of earthly possessions, for when the hour of death arrives they must leave everything behind .... Time and again you will be reminded of this through unforeseen instances when belongings have become worthless through sudden cases of death and all kinds of misfortune. But these are all signs of the Eternal Deity's mercy which are to remind you to remember your own death as well .... All these are signs of His love, which only ever wants to advance your soul's salvation and which would like to help you take stock of yourselves and change your way of life. For everything you do for the world, everything you only do for your earthly life, merely provides you with transient goods; but the spiritual goods you offer your soul will gain you spiritual possessions again which will follow you into eternity, even if you are suddenly and unexpectedly recalled from your earthly life. For spiritual possessions are everlasting, they cannot be taken away from you and will make you very happy in the kingdom of the beyond one day .... Nevertheless, regardless of how often the transience of all earthly things is pointed out to you, you never ever try to mentally assign such destinies to yourselves but go on living as before, and time progressively moves towards the end; a limit has been set, both for the individual person as well as for all people, which no-one can ever determine but which might be the next day for him, because every individual person is in God's hand. People should always remember this and live as they would were they to know the day. Every day they should be willing to leave the earth; they should constantly increase their spiritual wealth and always defer their earthly desires, they should live in awareness of eternity and not just for the moment, since plans for the future can never be made with certainty, thus they should rather count on an early death and prepare themselves for eternity than spend every day merely striving and craving for earthly possessions, for these are and will remain transient and won't gain the soul any advantage. However, only the soul will survive, it cannot perish, and to make sure that its fate will be good, the human being should provide the soul with that which will help it progress towards happiness: .... The human being should only ever accomplish works of love, in that case he would truly take better care of his soul than he is able to do for his body. For the latter will be preserved as soon as the human being considers his soul first, but soul and body need not fear death, which otherwise will always be dreaded by a person and scare him as long as the human being on earth does not bear his actual purpose in mind. Yet anyone who takes care of his soul first is no longer afraid of death, to a certain extent he is prepared every day and death will not take him by surprise, instead he will merely consider it a much welcome change of location ....

Amen

Through natural events God reveals His power ....

B.D. 8080 from January 15th 1962, taken from Book No. 85

I want to enlighten you about everything which only serves to ensure that you still take the path to Me, your God and creator, Whom you once voluntarily left, before the end. You humans don't know the reason for your existence as a human being on this earth and yet you should try to find out about it, for only then will you live your earthly life consciously. You are indeed told that you are on earth in order to become perfect, but because you lack closer understanding these teachings do not touch you .... You must first be truthfully instructed and take a mental stand on it yourselves .... Only then will you live your life appropriately. And I try to convey this truth to you, yet your free will is decisive as to whether you accept and recognize it as truth. But now you humans are close to the end, and if you still want to reach maturity of soul by then you must take it seriously and consciously make contact with your God and creator .... You must therefore believe in Him for the time being .... And therefore you will still experience many things which will prove to you a 'power' outside the earthly world (power?) .... You will not be able to deny the intervention of a power which you cannot determine yourselves, which also shapes your destiny and to which you must surrender. If only you come to this realization in earthly life then the first step has already been taken, for then it will also be possible for you to make contact with this power, and then you will be grasped by Me and truly guided step by step upwards .... And now you will also understand why I so often try to reveal Myself in natural events .... People must be able to see that human will, human powers are eliminated when things take place in nature which, as catastrophes, also claim countless human lives .... They must learn to recognize a power above themselves, even though such events do not yet signify a compulsion to believe, since completely unbelieving people also give themselves other reasons for such events if they are still completely opposed to Me. Yet I reveal Myself in natural events of all kinds .... yet individual people will always feel addressed by them, i.e. they will recognize that I am and that they themselves also originated from Me. There is only a short time left until the end, but there will still be many revelations of this kind, for I can no longer speak to those who are hardened in any other way, and only through the most severe strokes of fate can some souls still be won over who suddenly realize that they themselves are powerless and dependent on the one Who created them .... And again and again I will therefore address people .... loudly and powerfully to those who pay no attention to a quiet address, for the connection between Me and earth will always remain in place because you humans are creations of My love which I want to win back. And the closer the end is the louder My voice will sound, which will express itself through the elements of nature .... until the last day has come when harvest will be held .... where everything will fall to death again which has completely turned away from Me and a new life will begin on the new earth ....

Amen

Note to God's intervention through a great disaster

Earthly flourishing .... Swift decline ....

B.D. 8542 from June 28th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

From a worldly point of view you are able to observe continuous thriving, for people strive overzealously for earthly improvements and prosperity, all their thoughts and intentions are purely earthly minded and they seem to bring everything under control to better their living conditions. And yet, from a spiritual point of view, it is a constant decline, for people keep moving away from God, they lose their faith in Him and therefore also every connection, and that means that God's adversary takes complete possession of them, that he is most successful with those people who only pay attention to his domain and are therefore also enslaved by him .... People's goals are earthly prosperity, honour and fame, spiritual goals are unknown to them, and neither do they feel the bleakness and emptiness in their hearts because these are completely filled by earthly thoughts and earthly plans .... And only rarely can their experiences unsettle or change their present thinking .... only rarely will people get tired of their earthly activity and look for another goal to support .... Then destiny must come down hard on them and people's thinking must be forcibly turned into a different direction .... when they themselves are incapable of averting this fate and thus will also have to fight .... Then they might dwell on the futility of their earthly life .... they will recognise a higher Power above themselves which is stronger than their will to live and makes people aware of their own weakness. But every severe stroke of fate is only a means to shake people out of their tranquil earthly existence .... This is a means I use in order to achieve a change of attitude, which is indeed possible when they, through suffering or illness or other difficult situations, have to recognise the futility of their earthly endeavours and start to reflect on their own inadequacy and weakness to have control over such strokes, that they are dependent on a higher Power. Only then might their thinking change, and then they will also strive for another goal than the one they had before .... And there will only ever be a few who turn their way of life around, who will be able to detach themselves from the world and its possessions and then no longer allow themselves to be deceived by worldly flourishing and achievements.

Nevertheless, worldly accomplishments will become increasingly more amazing, for it is a sign of the end that ever greater plans will be pursued and also undertaken which, however, will more and more divert from that which God demands from people and which is of value for eternity .... Wherever earthly matter is given priority that is where God's adversary is involved, for people who only chase after material goods and only make plans to improve their prosperity already belong to him. And these people will also be willing servants to him, they will get ever more enchained by matter and therefore also determine their later fate themselves .... For even if you humans can observe constant thriving and steady progress around you .... you will only be able to enjoy it for a short time, for soon everything will fall prey to destruction and you will lose all earthly acquired possessions .... because God Himself wants to prove to you the fleeting nature of all that which occupies your thoughts and yet is completely worthless .... Therefore you, who are already on the right path, should not let yourselves be deceived .... Don't let your thoughts be misled by believing that the earth can still count on a long existence in view of the fact that so many human plans are being accomplished, which denote worldly progress and a high living standard .... Everything progresses in a worldly way, sooner than you think it will come to an end and people will experience living conditions which you cannot possibly imagine .... For a divine intervention through the forces of nature will give rise to a complete change to which people will have to resign themselves and will only be able to do so if they are in close contact with God and pray for strength, which they then will certainly receive, so that all those will surely be helped who find and take the path to Him .... Only then will you humans realise the transience of earthly matter, and good for him who draws the right conclusions from this realisation, who will be able to detach himself from worldly things and only seeks to gain spiritual wealth .... He can always expect God's blessing and support, he will hand himself over to Him and be guided through all adversity ....

Purpose of natural disasters ....

B.D. 2086 from September 25th 1941, taken from Book No. 30

It can be unhesitatingly stated that the earth will be afflicted by powerful natural disasters; indeed, these catastrophes should even be mentioned so that people will know that the respective events are not determined by coincidences. There is no such thing as a coincidence, everything is predetermined, and everything takes the path of higher development. And the forthcoming natural disaster will release countless beings and provide them with opportunities for new forms. At the same time, however the disasters are intended to affect people such that they will look for a connection with God. People only consider the latter very rarely now, this is why God wants to bring Himself closer to them again if only by means which cause fear and terror in people; but if events are proclaimed in advance a person will recognise the correlations and then entrust himself to the Power Which is able to help him. The forces of nature are the only means which can shake up the most unbelieving person and lead him back to faith. Yet they never last long and likewise the will to believe only lasts for as long as a person is in danger of losing his life.

However, the eternal Deity will never intervene with anyone such that a person is forced to believe .... Even in greatest physical adversity He will allow him his freedom. He certainly fights for the still imperfect souls but He does not compel them. And therefore natural disasters will also have to occur within some conformity to law, they just happen more or less violently depending on the necessity for those endangered people who lack correct realisation. And for that reason they shall be informed of the forthcoming events .... Humankind shall become utterly helpless and with childlike trust call upon God for assistance; prior to this it shall already be informed of the dreadful time it is approaching, and if it is only of weak faith all announcements will be accepted with indifference since it will most likely assume that the announced event will not happen. And yet, people will remember it if their body and soul are in peril. And this is intended, for as horrendous as the effects of a natural disaster might be it always entails a shock to human thinking and this can also have a beneficial effect on people's faith, providing they had received the knowledge beforehand. For the whole of humanity is facing a turning point of life. And blessed is he who recognises God's will in everything sent. Then he will truly not be able to behave differently than according to His will and only ever see the great adversity of his fellow human beings and look at the disaster as a means which can ease this hardship .... And this disaster is imminent .... it will come like a thief in the night .... And it will just as quickly be over again, yet the result will be inconceivable ....

Amen

Word of God - silent admonisher .... loud voice - natural disaster ....

B.D. 3925 from November 26th 1946, taken from Book No. 49

Pay attention to the ever-recurring admonitions from above and don't let them fall on your ears. For every hour and every day is precious if you consider your salvation and work diligently before the end comes. Do not let Me call in vain, do not let Me pound on your hearts in vain, but receive Me and open the door of your heart to Me voluntarily, if I desire entrance. I still come to you as a silent admonisher when I approach you in the word, but not for long, then My call will sound loud and mighty from above and you will be terrified by the power of My voice. It is still up to you whether you want to listen to Me or let My word fade away in your ears .... But then you will have to hear Me and My voice will touch you terribly .... You will no longer be able to recognize My love but will have to bow down to My wrath, although even then My love will still be at work, only no longer recognizable to you as love .... Yet My word is still a sign of My love for you, for it sounds gently and admonishingly like a father speaks to his children whom he wants to guide onto the right path. But if My word is not heeded My might will appear and you will be terrified of it and fall into the fear of death .... And for many the hour of death will also have come, the hour of passing away from this earth, and blessed is he who has already found Me before that he need not fear this last hour. And this is the purpose of My word .... I court your love, I try to draw you to Me, always taking your free will into account, I try to guide you towards the spiritual kingdom, and therefore I admonish you to distance yourselves from earthly matter, from earthly striving. For I can only be found if you renounce the world and its pleasures and seek unity with Me .... Then I Myself will come to meet you and will never let you go from Me again .... Therefore heed My word and do not belong to those whose senses I must direct to Me through My power .... Come to Me of your own accord by desiring My word and letting yourselves be instructed by Me, listen to Me and pay attention to what I tell you .... Believe in My word and change yourselves into love, so that you will make My will your own and can always and constantly be certain of My love. For this is what I want to achieve through My word, that you shape yourselves into love, that you work on your souls and conform to My nature, which is pure love in itself .... And you will not need to be frightened and anxious when My voice sounds loudly and mightily, for then you will belong to My own whom I take into My care in hours of greatest adversity and to whom I am saviour and redeemer, as I have promised. The hour will come unexpectedly quickly and you will all remember My words, for I will admonish you without ceasing so that you can still make use of the short time in every way .... Remember your souls and disregard the body, for it will pass away but the soul will continue to exist for all eternity. And therefore, as long as it is still possible for you, help yourselves to create and work on earth, and the earnest will to do so will earn you strength .... You will mature and gain great benefit by letting Me speak to you, by believing My words and striving to live according to My will .... And you will not need to fear the day which will irrevocably come in the shortest time .... which will give you proof of the truth of My word, of My might and strength, and which is also a sign to the initiated of My love for the unredeemed, which I want to save from eternal ruin ....

End time prophesies and admonitions ....

B.D. 6870 from July 12th 1957, taken from Book No. 74

As yet the period of Salvation is not concluded, a short period of time is still separating you humans from the final work of destruction on this earth .... And all of you could still become blessed if only you would recognise and acknowledge Me Myself in Jesus Christ. Nevertheless, the spiritual state you are in when the end of this earth, or even the end of your earthly life, comes upon you depends on this .... For the end you are granted will come suddenly and unexpectedly. And yet, no human being need be unprepared, for every person will still be told often enough what is in store for all of you, he just will not want to believe it. What is about to happen to you will ring in every person's ears again and again, for all coming worldly events are also indications and signs of a near end. And likewise all people will also hear My voice resound from above, for this event will not remain hidden from any person and can still be a last warning for everyone that the end can happen just as suddenly to them as it will happen to those who fall prey to the natural disaster. It will only be a little while longer, yet it will soon pass by .... But then the end will come without fail along with the Judgment which will decide the fate of every single soul. If only you humans would just acquaint yourselves with this idea that you create your own future fate, and if only you would believe Me that you can still attain your goal with ease providing you still make use of the short time, providing you entrust yourselves to Me and appeal for My guidance .... But you don't listen to My warnings and admonitions, you remain indifferent, and you allow the disaster to confront you without protecting yourselves from it or averting it .... For you do not believe .... You don't believe My Words and I Am unable to inform you of the coming events in any other way than through My Word, in view of the fact that you must find the path to Me of your own volition and therefore you may not be given more obvious proof ....

And the wheel of time keeps turning relentlessly .... Countless people will still be recalled by Me and this, too, should arouse people from their sluggish, routine life that is like a sleep from which they will be rudely awakened one day but then have no more time to prepare themselves for the end. The sleepers don't want to forgo their rest and slowly slip into a sleep of death, for their souls can only look forward to death because they don't appreciate life enough in order to acquire eternal life for themselves. People distance themselves ever further from Me Whom they should, after all, strive towards, and they think of their divine Redeemer even less, His act of Salvation is totally ignored, and thus My adversary, who can only be overcome by the One in Whom I embodied Myself for the sake of sinful humankind, is in control of people .... But without Him the end will also be terrible for people, for they will be hopelessly at the mercy of their destiny, they will be unable to find redemption because they reject the Redeemer Himself .... because they don't take the path to Me Who alone can help them. Again and again I approach people in Jesus Christ, again and again will people be told about His Gospel, they will repeatedly be invited to profess Jesus Christ and to adopt His divine teaching of love, and the approaching end will also be repeatedly mentioned. But it will be left to them to profess Him and to accept His blessings. But without Jesus Christ they will be unable to survive this end and neither can they be admitted to the kingdom of light if they are recalled earlier without having found Him .... All the same, the end will come without fail. However, it would not have to be feared, it would not have to be dreadful if faith in My Word impelled people to diligently work at improving their soul, for then a person would establish the connection with Me in Jesus Christ and the blessings of the act of Salvation would be utilised and assuredly also lead to maturity, so that he would not have to fear the end and the Judgment ....

Amen
