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.

Information relating to purpose and reason of earthly life ....

B.D. 8020 from October 16th 1961, taken from Book No. 84

You must always know that there is reason and purpose for your existence as human beings on earth .... It was not the Creator’s whim that placed you into this world but spiritual events which formed the foundation of your creation, events which happened a very long time ago in the spiritual kingdom. The beings, brought into existence by My will’s love, began to change .... The law of order, in which all perfect things had to exist, was overturned .... The externalised perfect beings changed themselves into the opposite, they trespassed the law of order and became imperfect .... However, their nature changed of their own free will, i.e. the beings’ will rebelled against the existing order, it rebelled against Me Myself as their God and Creator, but Whom they nonetheless recognised because they were enlightened. Consequently, this occurrence in the kingdom of the spirits is the reason for your existence as human beings on this earth ....

For you are the fallen spirits who had parted from Me of your own free will, you are the beings who once came forth from Me in highest perfection and voluntarily changed their nature to the contrary .... you are those fallen spirits .... But eternities had passed between your apostasy from Me and your existence as human beings .... an infinitely long time had passed wherein the fallen being had to go through a process of change, where it was exposed to incredible suffering and torment, where it gradually evolved from the abyss to the pinnacle again, always subject to My guidance because nothing that originates from Me remains eternally separated .... And thus one day you will reach the level of development when you will live as human beings on earth in order to cover the last short distance to the end .... in order to voluntarily achieve your return to your God and Father, from Whom you once had distanced yourselves in wrongly directed will .... If you look at your human existence in this light you will learn to understand how significant it is for you; you will no longer regard earthly life as an end in itself but as a means to an end, and you will live it consciously.

But it is difficult to make you believe that you are not just a whim of your God and Creator .... because you have no proof of what I tell you. However, just for once you should seriously consider that you yourselves and everything around you are works of wonder which could not have originated arbitrarily .... and after serious contemplation recognise a God and Creator and become convinced that there is nothing without purpose, and that your earthly life subsequently has to serve a purpose too .... You should aim to make contact with the acknowledged creative power, which is always possible in thought, in prayer and by doing works of love .... In unity with Me a light will soon shine for you, very soon you will perceive a glimpse of the knowledge which you once possessed in full measure.

And the light within you will shine consistently brighter the more you seek unity with Me and you will achieve the purpose of your life: you will accomplish the transformation of your own free will .... the change of your nature into perfection, which was your condition from the start .... You will kindle the tiny spark of love within you and turn it into a bright fire, which means as much as having entered the law of eternal order once again, where all perfect things have to exist .... You will be able to end an infinitely long process of development with the result that you will have adopted My fundamental nature again .... that you will have shaped yourselves into love and will once more be divine, perfect beings as you were in the beginning .... This is the purpose of your earthly life, which should prompt you to live consciously so that the last stage of the infinitely long process of development will enable the entirely spiritualised being to leave this earth in perfection and enter the kingdom of light and bliss from whence it once originated ....

Amen

Signs of time

Arrogance .... fall .... spiritual bridge in danger .... deception ....

B.D. 0848 from April 4th 1939, taken from Book No. 17

This is told to you, that all pride leads to a fall and that it is much more difficult to reach the height again where a fall has preceded. Behold, My children, I warn you, for I see the inner nature of the hearts and I see with concern how the tempting arms of the world reach out to you .... I see that you are indeed hesitant but nevertheless willing to let yourselves be taken hold of .... I also see unselfishness getting lost, I see how you suddenly want to ascend but in an earthly sense and no longer think of your spiritual task. And this has the consequence that the bridges to the beyond are in danger, that the pillars become shaky and I, as the lord, have to speak a word of power to avert this danger. Behold, when this danger is approaching, a sign shall be given to you so that you will not waver and go astray. For the world offers you nothing I could not replace a thousandfold, no joy of the world will be deep and lasting, and all worldly happiness is only deception and appearance, and whatever you think you can achieve on earth is deception and without any spiritual benefit .... And thus is expected a spiritual weakness for those who want to gain worldly honour and glory. They can by no means expect help because they don't even strive for what the help from above assures them. Their purpose in life is only ever earthly life and its fulfilment, and everything spiritual remains alien to them, all inclination is directed towards earthly possessions, yet they don't think about eternity. How can I intervene with blessing where people turn their backs on Me .... how can I bless those who deny Me? And he denies Me who rejects My word for the sake of earthly ascent. Anyone who wants to climb high and does not seek the spiritual height is about to fall, and his struggle will be considerably more difficult if he ever still seeks the truth on earth. Only heartfelt devotion, humble prayer and eager activity of love will protect the earthly child from the danger of becoming apostate, and where it is in danger of becoming weak it should call to Me for help, and I will assist it in every adversity, for I know My children and therefore I warn them in all love not to give away something precious in order to exchange a worthless treasure for it, which consists of earthly reputation, happiness and wealth and yet leaves the human heart so destitute when the soul falls into darkness as a result. Therefore, shun the world, shun ostentation and remain humble, simple and modest, and leave all externals to those who believe they cannot live without them .... they have their kingdom of heaven on earth and will have none to expect in the hereafter until they willingly give up everything and content themselves with little for the sake of their soul's salvation ....

Amen

The spirit of lies and its instruments ....

B.D. 2231 from February 8th 1942, taken from Book No. 31

The spirit of lies rules the world, and anyone who desires the world and its goods is enslaved by this spirit of lies. For only there can he assert himself, only there will homage be paid to him by being listened to and affirmed. In contrast, the spirit of truth will only find admission among people who try to detach themselves from the world and its goods, who have no desire for them whatsoever but turn themselves and their thoughts towards divine things, who consider their actual purpose and affirm a spiritual life. That is where the lying spirit is denied access. For God Himself will grant his protection to these people, and He wrests them from the one who brings lies into the world. People who hold on to the world thereby profess their affiliation to the one to whom the world is his power, for they desire that which is still his share .... unredeemed matter .... which still shelters much of the evil spirit within itself. And since he wants to win the world entirely for himself he uses every opportunity to increase people's greed for matter, hence he presents himself in a desirable way .... He uses lies to do so, for the truth would enlighten people and make them lose the longing for earthly possessions. And thus he aims to intersperse every truth with error, he tries to lead people into erroneous thinking, he seeks to obscure their spirit, that is, to entangle it in earthly passions and cravings, so that the spirit within themselves is surrounded by the most dense layers and unable to offer the soul the slightest clarification. And he aims to pull down everything divine, stifle everything noble, obscure the truth, eradicate love, spread hatred and strife and gradually shape people such that they become like him; that they will adopt all those qualities which characterise evil.

The love for truth dwells only in very few people, and they despise the world. However, their goal is God, Who is the Truth, and they seek to obtain spiritual values which last for eternity. And thus they lift themselves above the world and the prince of lies has no more influence on them. And yet he wants to oppress them and to this end uses those who, on the surface, also strive for the truth, that is, who appear to look for truth but inwardly are devoted to the price of lies .... who love themselves and their life and try to make it as comfortable as possible, who live in the midst of the world and yet try to deny their connection with it .... who, without the inner urge to renounce the world, pretend to live a life of self-denial before the eyes of their fellow human beings and thus are fond of lies. These are used by the opponent as his instruments, by letting them speak under the cover of truth, as the prince of lies wants. And thus lies are mixed with truth, and humanity accepts everything that is presented as truth and yet is the greatest untruth, for it cannot recognise it because it doesn't desire the truth, and since the lie corresponds to their desire more it is accepted without hesitation. Yet the spirit of truth will establish itself as soon as people willingly separate themselves from matter .... as soon as they desire spiritual wealth and strive towards God .... And he will defeat the spirit of lies, for anyone who recognises the truth will stand up for it and try to spread it, and the lie will be displaced and with it the one who came into the world through the lie will be overcome ....

Heartlessness .... The world's battle against the teaching of love ....

B.D. 2445 from August 10th 1942, taken from Book No. 33

Humanity's conduct cannot be reconciled with the teaching of Christ, for this requires actions of love, people's relationships with each other should be like that of brothers. But at the present time all people face each other with hostility, outwardly often united yet in their hearts only ever bearing their own advantage in mind and regarding their fellow human being as an opponent, because they either feel harmed or disadvantaged by him. The human race is completely devoid of love and therefore also opposed to Christianity, opposed to the divine teaching of love, which it no longer wants to comply with. For it requires effort to practise love, it requires a separation from material things, a shelving of one's own wishes and cravings; it signifies a sacrifice of that which is dear to a person .... Selfish love must be fought against; the human being must educate himself to become modest to enable him to help his fellow human being by giving to him what he gives up. This sacrifice can only be made out of love and therefore love must be practised .... Yet only rarely will a person make this sacrifice for his fellow human beings .... Each person only thinks of himself, this is why he finds the teaching of Christ inconvenient and supports people's intentions to eradicate it .... Where heartlessness exists, the battle against the divine teaching of love will be waged without hesitation. And this heartlessness is widespread throughout the world, people outdo each other with brutalities they inflict upon their fellow human beings, and thus the whole world can be held responsible for the immense world event which purely arose from humanity's heartlessness and which results in ever greater cruelty and must therefore be described as the activity of hell, as the activity of demonic forces. And yet, people do not recognise their low spiritual level. They only look at the purely external consequences of the world event and not at the spiritual state of those whose great heartlessness also incites their fellow human beings to act with unkindness. And as long as this deplorable state of affairs is not recognised, it cannot be remedied either; as long as the human being does not recognise heartlessness as the greatest evil he will not make any effort to live a life of love, i.e., he will not treat his fellow human being with kindness .... And neither will he approve of Christ's teaching, he will reject it, because his compliance with it will not gain him any earthly advantage. However, he will also act accordingly .... love will be pushed aside again and only result in greater heartlessness .... One person will endeavour to destroy the other without inhibition, he will no longer be able to distinguish between right and wrong and thus exceed himself in bitterness and cruelty, and all love will grow cold, lowering the spiritual level to the extreme, and a world without love cannot survive, it is doomed to destruction and with it everything which does not strive to redeem itself through love ....

Amen

Immorality .... Unwritten laws ....

B.D. 2461 from August 30th 1942, taken from Book No. 33

General immorality accompanies the time of people's unkindness and the fact that people no longer show any consideration towards their fellow human being's feelings and thus no longer exert any kind of self-restraint is also a sign of spiritual deterioration. And a generation without manners and without meaningful morality is heading for disaster .... Admittedly, people find this incomprehensible, since they consider decency a mere human addition and that the times justify giving full expression to all instincts. And their points of view are encouraged by the completely wrong opinion that moral laws merely prevent people from enjoying life and therefore must be abolished. No nation will ever survive if it does not want to accept any laws as a guiding principle which give people moral stability so that they will live their life within the framework of a certain social order .... These are unwritten laws which people have nevertheless accepted until now, because they have all recognised both the necessity as well as the blessings of such laws and, for the sake of human order, have submitted to them without argument .... These laws are increasingly more forgotten or they are knowingly discarded by people because they prevent them from living up to their sensuality. This clearly shows a decline of spiritual development, for the more sensual a person is, the less he strives towards God; he desires the world, that is, everything that gives pleasure to the body, and for the sake of the body disposes of all consideration towards his fellow human beings. As a result, the human being falls prey to spiritual forces which had lived a life of uninhibited pleasure on earth, which indulged their cravings and thus had led a sinful life. These spiritual forces exert tremendous influence on these people and use them such that the human being pays less and less attention to the unwritten laws, that he unreservedly indulges himself in an easy way of life and that no limits exist for him than the fulfilment of his lust. This attitude towards worldly pleasures will never be conducive to spiritual development, for anything the body demands will always disadvantage the soul. Besides, spiritual aspiration will be laughed at and ridiculed, and this without all inhibition, because people will have lost all sense of decency and good manners .... Hence, the individual person's point of view will not be respected either but will be deemed hostile and therefore be discarded, often in the most shameless fashion. For immorality and spiritual deterioration go hand in hand. People indeed speak about being enlightened and, yet, they are less enlightened than ever before .... They speak of spiritual advancement and, yet, they remain far behind, for they don't understand it as the progress of the soul, instead, they only mean a wrong way of thinking, which they nevertheless find worth striving for. They try to construct a new morality for themselves which aids and abets an easy way of life and intend to portray it as ideal. And thus new laws will come into being and old laws will be revoked, and humanity will change accordingly and lose every guideline for a virtuous, God-pleasing life which is intended to improve the human being's soul ....

Present-day human being .... Abilities ....

B.D. 2514 from October 16th 1942, taken from Book No. 33

No other age has had as highly evolved beings as the present one and yet this higher development is used for the wrong reasons .... The present-day human being has passed through countless stages of development and now, during the last stage, has many abilities which he can use extremely successfully .... One of these abilities is to place himself into a spiritual state. Anyone who has acquired this ability can already claim to have considerable maturity because he now also lives in the other realm .... However, he does not take his impressions from this realm to earth because they are only absorbed by the spirit who will not pass them on until the human soul is suitably qualified to understand the experience in the spiritual realm and can then be relevantly instructed. The more the soul questions the spirit within itself for information the more it receives. Thus humanity could indeed be on a high spiritual level if it took advantage of everything at its disposal during earthly life. Instead, people are content to live their earthly lives but fail to consider their spiritual state. Consequently their innermost being is approaching the pre-historic condition once again, in which they ignored their soul and just lived an animal life which excluded any higher development. They no longer live earthly life consciously, they are similarly driven - namely by spiritual forces which want to suppress all spiritual higher development. And thus they are approaching the pre-historic state once more but are now fully responsible for their actions because free will and intellect were given to them by God for the purpose of spiritual progress ....

Hatred and its consequences ....

B.D. 2810 from July 12th 1943, taken from Book No. 37

The demon of hatred is poisoning the whole world .... And people enslave themselves to him. But hatred destroys, whereas love builds up, and the work of devastation on earth will happen on an ever increasing scale the more hatred rages amongst humanity. God's work of destruction will not end this hatred either, instead it will only make individual people here and there come to their senses, and they will subsequently realise by whom they allowed themselves to be dominated. And for the sake of these few will God manifest Himself and show His power and strength. The majority, however, will carry on living in hatred and keep trying to assert itself with means born of hatred and which inflame ever more hatred. For hatred is intensified unkindness, hatred is the most dreadful attribute because it has indescribably destructive consequences, not just in an earthly but also in a spiritual way. For it eradicates all noble impulses or puts them at great risk. The person who lives in hatred is flung to and fro by demons, his striving towards ascent is constantly in jeopardy because he will repeatedly be thrown back again as soon as he allows himself to be carried away by hatred, because he keeps handing himself over to the power of the one who only tries to convey hatred and unkindness to people. And his power over such a person is great. And it is even greater when the whole of the human race lives in hatred .... This has to signify a spiritual decline which will have alarming effects insofar as that people willingly implement what they are told to do by God's malicious opposing power .... that they will destroy all possessions in order to damage their fellow human beings. God's adversary is eager to release all spirits which were banished by God into creations. For this reason all his thoughts and intentions aim to destroy that which was created through God's will. But since his will and power cannot take hold of the works of creation, he seeks to force his will onto people .... He plants hatred into them and thereby impels them to implement what is impossible for him .... to destroy the creation .... Thus he uses the people enslaved by him as his henchmen, he places satanic thoughts in them, he stirs up hatred in them and thus drives them to cause immense damage to each other. People willingly carry out the impulses their soul's greatest enemy gives to them .... Their actions give rise to constantly renewed hatred and hatred produces ever new works of destruction .... Such a poisoned human race will progressively move towards its downfall, for it will hardly find the path back to loving activity ....

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 ....

Act of procreation in God-remoteness occasion of unbelief ....

B.D. 7010 from January 4th 1958, taken from Book No. 75

Every thinking human being would have to come to the conclusion that a relatively short time-lasting existence on earth would be meaningless and pointless if the 'I' of the human being existed only for this short time .... if it began at the moment of birth and ended at the hour of death .... He would have to .... if he acknowledged a creator .... regard him as very small-minded, who only for the sake of a whim lets beings come into being for the sake of trivial earthly concerns and pleasures. Or he would have to .... if he only regarded himself as an arbitrarily created product of nature .... ask himself why intellect and free will are inherent in him. For such thoughts would make it appear doubtful to him to be only such an arbitrary product of nature. Through intellect and free will, man differs from all other creations of nature. He could therefore conclude that there is a creator spirit, Who also possesses intellect and free will .... thus wisdom and power. And had he arrived at this thought he would also try to fathom the meaning and purpose of his earthly existence and not be satisfied with the assumption that he was only created for the sake of earthly life itself. Every person could come to this conclusion by simply thinking about it if he has not already gained this realization and believes in a God of love, wisdom and omnipotence from Whom he himself emerged. Yet many people are conceived in utmost distance from God .... by people who do not kindle a spark of love within themselves which gave them a light, who are still completely under the control of the adversary of God and now also implant their anti-divine attitude into the child which is brought into the world by them against their will and whose soul, surrounded by the densest shells, grows up without light and love. It is true that the nature of a child does not always have to correspond to that of its parents; a soul can also embody itself in it which consciously takes up the struggle with the dangers of this world .... but the parents' attitude is usually transferred to their children, and then people are born who only regard themselves as arbitrary products of nature and have no connection whatsoever with the one Who first gave His approval for their creation, because the will of those parents is also free and their nature justifies the birth of children. But even those children do not lack the ability to think and free will again .... so that there is also a way for those people to get out of the darkness into the light .... And those people also have the spark of love within them from God, it is also possible for them to ignite it. And divine graces also flow to them .... But truly, these people live in greatest darkness who only see their purpose of life in earthly life itself, who think they have passed away at the moment of death and who don't want to recognize and acknowledge any power over themselves, for they don't use the gift of intellect either, they don't even seriously want to fathom the truth or they would irrevocably change their way of thinking. And thus it can also be seen that the act of procreation is the adversary's weapon which often brings him victory in the battle for people's souls, for it drives people to unrestricted sensual pleasure and he will find no resistance. People give themselves to each other without restraint, yet not in love but only in sensual intoxication, which rarely enables any other than a dark soul to be convinced and this darkness is usually expressed in the fact that all prerequisites for faith are missing, which is the adversary's intention. But arrogance can also darken a soul in which the foundations for knowledge were already present, if the intellect, in arrogance, deems itself capable of fathoming even the greatest secrets .... Then the adversary has also achieved his aim of making the human being unbelieving and confusing his thoughts ....

Unbelief before the end .... Satan's activity ....

B.D. 7074 from March 27th 1958, taken from Book No. 75

Humanity will perish in its ungodliness, although it is visibly supported by My adversary, hence gaining earthly power and wealth, knowledge and fame. For it is and will remain worldly profit which is not permanent, which keeps the souls in utter poverty and destitution and returns them to the same painful state of fate again that they had to suffer for an infinitely long time. People want to deny a God and Creator, convinced of their own strength and intelligence they attribute every earthly success to their own intellect and work and yet are merely controlled by the one who wants to displace Me from people's hearts and mind. They don't believe in a God nor do they believe in Satan's existence, nevertheless, they are in his power. And when the time comes when all faith will dwindle because people are only influenced in this godless direction, the moment will also have come when the adversary's activity will be stopped .... Everything points to the fact that My adversary rules the world, that he impels people to use their energy purely for earthly goals, that he pushes everything of a divinely-spiritual nature so far away that people won't make an effort to reach it .... He works on them directly or indirectly, he either openly fights against the faith or he showers people so abundantly with earthly possessions that they detach themselves from Me of their own accord so as not to be deprived of their earthly pleasures, instinctively realising that both together cannot be granted to them. They abandon Me without a second thought, for the world is too enticing and alluring that they cannot resist the temptation. It will also remain a futile undertaking trying to teach people otherwise, since such admonishing voices will be drowned out by the opposing side, because they will be silenced .... if not in another way then by force .... The poisonous seed is already being scattered on the still empty ground, that is, the children are already being given a completely wrong idea about the purpose of their existence, and each tender little plant which turns to the light anyway will be stifled .... the poisonous seed will render it incapable of living. The human being is already guided into wrong thinking as a child and, with the use of clever words, My adversary understands how to gain credibility. And where his cunning is not enough he will use force, for he is in charge of the ruling powers which assert themselves where no firm foundation of faith was built, which will subsequently also stand up to all onslaughts.

However, I also speak a language which is loud enough that it cannot be ignored .... at first in the form of all kinds of tragic events which should show every person the transience of earthly happiness and worldly possessions. And I will speak more distinctly still but will only be successful with those who have not fallen prey to My adversary as yet. Untold people will end their life on earth in this godless state, engulfed by impenetrable darkness which is inconceivable for you humans. But it was created by themselves, it is the inevitable result of their unbelief in a God and Creator; it is the fate awaiting the souls of all people who submit to My adversary and don't try to remove their separation from Me. It is their own fault, for every person with a serious will for truth is capable of deliberating .... no-one is forced to adopt his fellow human being's or the ruling powers' opinion, because every person's thoughts are free and he can also use his intelligence. If he does so with the desire for truth and justice, he will also be granted correct thinking by Me and he will find the truth within himself. Therefore I will always influence people's thinking through unexpected strokes of fate which no-one will be able to defend himself against, for I will not yet give up the fight for each individual soul. As long as a person lives on earth I will also create opportunities for him to attain the right realisation but I will not use force .... just as My adversary cannot forcibly achieve a turning away from Me, even if the earthly authorities take coercive measures .... For I only pay attention to the human being's will, his inner attitude towards Me. And every thought inclined towards Me will receive strength and help the soul to detach itself from My adversary. Yet success will not be great in terms of numbers, but every single soul which does not descend into the deepest abyss again is a gain for Me .... And therefore My love will do whatever it takes in order to still save those before the end which are not yet entirely in My adversary's hands, in order to restore their faith in a God and Creator of eternity Who wants to give His living creations a life in freedom, strength and light again which they possessed in the beginning ....

Amen

Misuse of divine gifts (Talents) ....

B.D. 8660 from October 31th 1963, taken from Book No. 91

Don't believe that you can revoke My eternal order with impunity, don't believe that you will benefit from an action which contradicts My lawful order. And this will always be the case if you wrongly use the gifts you receive as a human being, which therefore trigger functions in you .... which prompt your will into becoming active .... The human being is intricately structured, he is a work of creation which testifies to My love, wisdom and might, all his functions are meaningful and can only have been devised by a Creator Who is unsurpassable in His wisdom .... merely the physical complexion differs, so that not all people have the same abilities at their disposal and their will to make use of them is either weaker or stronger. Thus people are differently talented in their skills and intentions .... they are also permeated by My strength differently, because it depends on the person's will whether he requests My strength, which is always at his disposal, or whether he only uses his vitality, which also flows to him at a weaker or stronger rate in a natural manner. A physically completely healthy person can therefore have more vitality at his disposal than someone with an ailing body; however, the latter can noticeably increase his own strength by directly requesting My strength and as a result accomplish achievements which surpass those of his fellow human being. And thus talents are also given to people which likewise express themselves in different ways. All these talents are gifts from Me, gifts of grace which the person should use correctly in his earthly life by being of service to his fellow human being again to the best of his ability, for he will want to develop his talents to either do good or to instil pleasure, providing the person always lives within divine order. Yet everything of a divine nature can also become distorted through My adversary's influence .... For he will leave no stone unturned in order to revoke the divine order ....

Consequently, the more enslaved a person is by him, the more the adversary can succeed in destroying his belief in a God, the more he can also influence him into wrongly cultivating the abilities .... these talents .... which rest dormant within him. He will remove his sense for everything pertaining to divine order, he will want to destroy the 'natural harmony' .... He will always think, want and create such that it will contradict this order, the harmony .... Then the person's thinking and feeling will become confused through the adversary's influence. And then distorted images will appear regardless in which field a person works. People will think wrongly and put their thoughts on paper, so that writings will arise which do not benefit other people, which present entirely wrong conclusions and which are unable to satisfy a reader who still moves within the divine order .... And only the adversary's followers will affirm and accept them. Yet their souls will gain nothing, instead they will even lose that which they possess .... And thus, through the adversary's incentive the most varied talents will be misused .... What they will then call into life will only ever be distorted images of what I give to people for their happiness .... The functions of hands, eyes and ears are being misused with inharmonious and distorted consequences, for they are being led by the one who is against divine order, against that which is perfect, and who also induces people to be actively against Me by producing works which testify to anything else but to the divine gifts the human being received .... on the contrary, they originate from a sphere where everything has left the order. And the fact that these products of satanic activity find recognition again demonstrates people's spiritual state, for their nature was not created such that they lack the ability of making the right judgment, rather, their disbelief is confusing their mind .... they are unable to think clearly even if, from an earthly point of view, they possess a sharp intellect, yet their spiritual blindness demonstrates itself in their wrong judgment, they are no longer capable of differentiating between harmony and disharmony, and time and again people with the same spiritual attitude will join them and their judgment. And this distortion of creative products is merely a sign of immense spiritual confusion, an obvious sign of My adversary's activity and therefore also a sign of the near end, for the soul's full maturing is no longer assured where almost nothing is within divine order anymore. All My creations testify to wisdom, love and omnipotence and these must also be recognisable in human work and activity, everything must radiate harmony and soothingly touch the human being's soul which is devoted to Me .... But anyone who is still distant from Me due to his wrong attitude towards Me, due to disbelief or his belief in error will also lose the right sensitivity for any harmony because his soul still belongs to the one who is My adversary ....

Various schools of thought .... Pretended worship ....

B.D. 8686 from November 27th 1963, taken from Book No. 91

It is just like the time when Christ descended to earth .... People's thoughts are just as confused, they advocate the same misguided teachings, they believe to possess the sole truth and yet they are living right in the midst of falsehood .... Now, as then, they uphold their hollow creeds even though all vary from each other, each creed endorses its own point of view and each one is convinced that it can lay claim to the truthfulness of its teachings. And the number of schools of thought has grown considerably, there are not just a few opposing each other but a great variety of opinions has created a great variety of faith communities which all endeavour to win supporters and fanatically insist on the doctrines they endorse .... Hence it is essential that people receive the truth, that they at last learn what God expects from people .... It is essential that God's will is revealed to them so that they learn to recognise that the fulfilment of His will is the meaning and purpose of life on earth .... However, every church or spiritual movement teaches that it proclaims God's will and still the various creeds differ. At the time of Christ's descent to earth people prided themselves just like today on practicing various customs, the divine service was fanatically performed and lacked spirit so that people did not establish any heartfelt contact with their God and Creator ....

And the same happens nowadays: a formal religious service giving due consideration to all rites and customs, demonstrating to the world the union with God whilst the heart of the individual is far removed from this heartfelt bond with Him .... It is just pretence and deception, there is no longer any truthfulness in people's way of life .... They solely belong to the physical world, and even if they want to give the impression of a relationship with God they only perform lifeless formalities which do not touch their souls. And you, who receive the truth from God, shall challenge this pretence of worship and remember that even Jesus during His life on earth did not support those who upheld wrong doctrines and tried to justify their pretence of worship as the only one pleasing to God and who condemned everything that contradicted their teachings. Nowadays people will not want to part with the doctrines handed down to them by people either and will therefore always remain in error, because they refuse to accept the pure truth which can only be granted to them from above .... from the Eternal Truth. Yet such a gift of grace requires free voluntary acceptance .... The truth cannot be forcibly conveyed to people who are unwilling to accept it. And therefore it is difficult to root out misguided teachings even if these are substantiated and

Amended to them as being wrong. There will only ever be a few who will be open-minded to what God Himself conveys to people, because they don't want to acknowledge such evident working of God .... because they have no knowledge of the fact that God pours out His spirit over those who willingly open up their hearts to Him for the receipt of His pure truth ....

Prior to Jesus' descent to earth, before His crucifixion, the pouring out of the spirit upon a human being was not possible, and therefore the world was full of error .... However, after His death on the cross truth could find access to mankind and it became possible to fully enlighten people as to whether and when their thinking was erroneous, it was possible to instruct them through the spirit and they could rid themselves of all error. Yet there was never any coercion and this is why time and again error could creep in and be advocated as truth and passed on with such tenacity that it is difficult to convince people of their wrong thinking, and thus they will always resist accepting the pure truth from God and giving up their misconceptions. And still, for the sake of truth itself everything has to be tried to make people change their points of view .... everything has to be tried to motivate them to think, everything has to be done to impart the pure truth to them, for they can only reach the final goal on the path of truth .... As long as they remain in their wrong thinking they will not be able to partake in the bliss of the kingdom of the beyond, which can only ever guarantee enlightenment ....

Only truth grants light, therefore truth alone leads to beatitude, for countless beings can be made happy with it again and happiness in the spiritual kingdom consists of the giving of light. This is why you humans must not fall victim to wrong thinking, this is why the truth is offered to you time and again, this is why everything will be done on the part of God to turn your thinking in the right direction, yet you yourselves need only have the will to live in truth .... For it is not as important on earth as it is in the kingdom of the beyond that you know the truth, because you cannot be happy there without truth, and even if you ignore your dark state on earth .... it will nevertheless torment you in the beyond, because only light is beatitude and light is only ever emanated by the Truth, by God Himself, Who is the eternal Essence of light ....

Amen

Prevalence of sin ....

B.D. 4853 from March 7th 1950, taken from Book No. 55

Sin will prevail and people will live in lust and sin without a sense of responsibility, for satan rules the world and people are in bondage to him. And they willingly follow his whisperings, weakly and without resistance they succumb to his temptations, they fulfil the body's desires and have nothing in abhorrence, sin entices them and thus people sink into their mire. It is coming to an end .... Anyone who pays attention to people's behaviour also knows what hour has struck, that the earth is ripe for destruction and that people forget their purpose of life on earth and thus stand before the abyss. Satan has them completely under his control and they no longer offer him any resistance, they acknowledge him as their lord and do what he demands of them. In sin people will suffocate, in sin they will perish, for in the midst of the enjoyment of life they will find their end, as it is written .... And so I call out to people: One day you will all have to answer for your thoughts and actions and words; you will all be judged according to your will and your works. Do not fall into sin, keep yourselves pure and detest evil, so that sin does not become your ruin, so that it does not drag you into the abyss. Do not dull the admonisher within you, listen to the voice of conscience which warns you against every bad thought and every bad action. Pay attention to its voice and follow it, do not easily ignore sin but remember Him who will judge you one day, who is just and punishes every sin because it demands atonement. Do not let yourselves be tempted by the attractions of the world, and do not fulfil your body's every desire, for it tempts you to sin. Keep yourselves pure and remember that you cannot stand before My eyes if you fall into sin and do not detest it. Free yourselves from satan, who tempts you if you do not resist him. Sin has great power over you and therefore you should beware of it, for you thereby commit yourselves to My adversary and distance yourselves from Me, and this means eternal ruin for you ....

Course of the world event according to the development ....

B.D. 3793 from June 7th 1946, taken from Book No. 48

In accordance with spiritual development, world events also take their course, and thus chaos will also become ever greater because humanity is constantly regressing in its development. For it distances itself ever more from the pole of love and strives towards the opposite pole, which is completely devoid of love. And this must have an earthly effect in complete chaos, in complete disorder and thus in an unbearable existence for people, in earthly hardship, in lack of knowledge, error, wrong thinking and acting and finally complete ruin, because nothing can exist eternally in such disorder. And thus humanity is drifting towards its spiritual and physical downfall, and that is the end .... Where there is still an upward development the state of disorder will not be found to the same extent, yet the individual's life is also adapted to the general state on earth, it is only more bearable because he adheres to God and makes use of His help. But from a worldly point of view one event follows the other, always in accordance with people's degree of development, and since this development thus proceeds regressively, ever greater unkindness follows one another, i.e. earthly measures and decrees conjure up ever more disaster for people, suffering and hardship become ever greater, for humanity lives without God and can therefore only carry out those plans which God's adversary submits to it. And therefore no worldly improvement can be expected, for where improvement is striven for love must prevail, but this has grown cold and unkindness only gives birth to God-opposing things. And where improvement is evident, it is only at the expense of fellow human beings, who are thereby plunged into increased tribulation. satan's activity in the last days is openly visible and recognisable to anyone who wants to recognize .... And the time is approaching when his power will be broken for a long time. But before that God allows him full freedom, for the human will is turned towards him and increases his power on earth itself. And only those people who strive towards God in free will can escape his power because they are permeated by God's strength and clearly recognize the working of God's opposing power. Yet through world events all people can also recognize the one who is without love, and with an earnest will they can free themselves from him .... For God has placed the law of love in every person's heart and given people the intellect to clearly recognize when they sin against this divine law .... And therefore He also lets the great world events unfold in such a way that it can open people's eyes if they want to see .... And it is up to them to decide for the better or for the worse .... to love or to deeds of unkindness. Accordingly, his earthly life will also be more or less in order and also the degree of his realisation. And even the last end will not come as a surprise to him if he pays attention to the signs and world events which take their course according to humanity's will ....

Remark upon the end .... natural events ....

B.D. 4094 from July 31th 1947, taken from Book No. 50

A short period of time only passes until the end of this world. And in this short time I use all means to cause you to transform your soul. I make Myself heard to people before the last Judgment is still to be expected. Thus you humans must first await this manifestation of Mine before you expect the final end. But this follows the previous one very quickly. Again and again I have to announce the same to you, otherwise you do not believe My words enough; again and again I have to point this out to you because you humans are currently not spiritually minded enough, thus you do not value words offered to you from above much differently than human talk, indeed, you rather acknowledge and pay attention to the latter than instructions whose content only benefits your soul. So what shall I do in order to urge on you what is necessary for your souls' salvation? If My word is unable to motivate you to tackle the work on your soul, My voice must sound louder so that you will be alarmed and call out to Me in the fear and distress with which you will be seized in view of the end. And I point out this event, which takes place in nature, to you with all urgency, for only then will it give My word the confirmation of its authenticity, which people mostly doubt. But before that I already want to have an effect on human hearts which are receptive for My love and grace, which recognise My word as a sign of love and grace and therefore accept it with joy and gratitude. These will have a double blessing from the last admonition and warning sign. They will be exceedingly strengthened in faith themselves and therefore eagerly and with conviction speak up for My word and will be able to successfully participate in Christ's work of redemption. For now the eyes of all believers are directed towards the end, which they expect with conviction and therefore will also stand firm in every battle against Me and My (word) kingdom. This is My purpose in My frequent announcements beforehand that a last sign of My love and mercy will still be sent to all people, even though it will only rarely be recognised as such. But My Own understand that and why I speak to people from on high and therefore they expect every day that I will let My voice be heard. But I have My fixed plan and I speak when the time has come, when you least expect Me, when you think of Me as inactive, when an earthly adversity has seemingly been averted. But what is foretold in word and scripture comes true .... I will let a natural event of unheard-of magnitude and expansion take place which will cost countless human lives .... And yet, this is only a small foreshadowing of the destruction on the last day, only that I will not visibly express Myself now, whereas shortly before the end I Myself will come to make My Own happy and fetch them home into My kingdom. But anyone who survives the natural disaster beforehand will gain convinced faith if he is serious about it. And this is My purpose, that a deeply believing person now represents everything to his fellow human beings which refers to the last end .... For this will not be long in coming. (31.7.1947) When My voice will be audible from above, you will fast be approaching the end. For many the last hour of life will indeed already have struck with the outbreak of that natural disaster which will claim countless human victims, yet I announce this for the survivors' sake, for they shall derive a benefit for their souls from it, they shall learn to believe and learn to recognise Me as their Creator and Sustainer, as Father and divine Friend, they shall call to Me of their own accord and, if they have experienced My obvious help, strive towards Me; having recognised Me they shall seek to attain Me with a loving heart and make My will their own; having found Me they shall not give Me up again but remain faithful to Me until the end .... And therefore I allow the earth to be partially affected by an exceedingly great storm of destruction so that the thoughts of those who survive will change and turn to Me, Who I long for My living creations which are still far away from Me and yet possess My love because they once came forth from Me and shall return to Me again. For My love does not diminish, My love never ceases, it is eternally meant for the created by Me, even if it has not yet found its way to Me. Then I will show it the path again and again and offer Myself as a guide to those who entrust themselves to My care and want to follow Me, so that one day they will reach their aim, so that they will be eternally united with Me, as was their original destiny ....

Amen

Notice to the near end .... judgment day ....

B.D. 5159 from June 26th 1951, taken from Book No. 58

You shall all experience My grace and in the last days be clearly informed of the end by being able to perceive many changes around you, the passing away of earthly possessions, the sudden passing away of fellow human beings who are torn from the midst of life, strange changes in nature and all in accordance with ancient prophecies which I always and constantly sent to people through seers and prophets in order to draw their attention to this last time. You humans will all be prompted to think and the question will be put to you as to what fate you yourselves are facing. Earthly and spiritually you will be troubled, for earthly events will frighten you and also give rise to spiritual thoughts, because you humans unconsciously feel that your order is very poor. All earthly events would not frighten you if you had established spiritual order, but you look for a substitute for the spiritual in the earthly, and since the former now seems uncertain to you, your thoughts are nevertheless directed towards the question: How will I survive when everything is over? .... And this question shall arise in you, this is why I allow so much adversity to befall people, for you don't have much time left but still enough if you seriously want to change. All the strokes of fate that still affect you before the end are means of grace, even if you don't want to accept them as such, but they can still bring you to your senses how miserable you are in the event of a sudden recall from this world .... Pay attention to all events around you, keep your eyes and ears open and prove to yourselves that there is still a spark of responsibility in you; don't be indifferent, look into yourselves and quietly reflect on your intrinsic value if you are to justify yourselves before Me on the last day. For the last day is for everyone the day of his body's death, which is closer to all of you than you realize and will befall some of you even more quickly, for much still lies ahead for all of you. You cannot prevent the death of the body when your hour has come, yet you can stop the death of the soul, indeed, you can give the soul true life which lasts forever, which can never be taken away from you once it has awakened to the life of the spirit. That is why I so often hold bodily death before your eyes, that is why you so often see it around you; you see everything pass away that was worthwhile to you and gave you joy, you see dear people pass away from where no return can be expected. I let you see all this so that you become thoughtful about your own ego, so that you give yourselves an account of what you have to record in order to secure eternal life for yourselves when the body passes away and nothing remains on earth. And if you think about it and only listen a little to the voice within you, you will have made use of a means of grace, for I cannot help you in any other way. Everything that comes from Me must look as if it comes from within you, only then will you accept it. You will still often have cause to think about it, and you should always remember that the last time brings extraordinary phenomena with it, so that all those who still have a good will can achieve in a short time what they otherwise have a lot of time at their disposal for. But the end is approaching with rapid steps and I still want to win many before the end comes. For this reason My grace is constantly distributed to you, anyone who recognizes it and makes use of the means of grace will not be lost on Judgment Day, even if it comes suddenly or only at the end. He will not need to fear it because My grace has saved him from spiritual death ....

Prevalence of sin .... Battle of faith .... End ....

B.D. 5860 from January 23rd 1954, taken from Book No. 64

When sin gets out of hand, when there is no more faith in God's justice among people, when people irresponsibly live their lives to the full and give their instincts free reign, when no love whatsoever is found among humanity, when all desires purely concern the world and its possessions, then the end will have come and the Scripture will come to pass, the prophesies of the seers, having always announced the end on God's instruction, will come true .... And if you humans look around yourselves, if you keep your eyes open and observe everything that happens on earth, then you will know, providing you are of good will, which hour you live in .... You will recognise that these are all signs of the near end, that humanity itself gives rise to the end because it lives in sin and pays no more attention to God .... As yet there are still people who are not entirely corrupted, who as yet do not belong to the adversary completely but who have no faith either and therefore thoughtlessly go on living .... nevertheless, the closer it gets to the end there will also be increasingly fewer of these people .... They will partly descend further and become subject to the adversary's power and partly be recalled from this life into the kingdom of the beyond .... The number of depraved and evil people will increase, and only a few will remain faithful to God and live on earth as it is His will. They will have to suffer greatly under the former, because they will be hated and persecuted on account of their faith .... And as soon as open actions are taken against all those who profess God in Jesus Christ, the end is imminent for you humans. This, too, was announced to you humans a long time in advance so that you will have to justify yourselves and be judged for the sake of Jesus' name .... So as soon as all spiritual aspiration is treated with hostility, as soon as God's servants are prevented from working for the kingdom of God, as soon as they are ridiculed and laughed at because of their faith, the time will have come when satanic forces are at work which, at the end, will rage against everything that points to God. And all those who are weak and not entirely evil will be recalled from earth, so that they will not fall into the hands of God's adversary when the final days dawn, when the believers are treated in such a way that only people with strong faith and absolute trust in God will stand firm, because their faith will give them strength and because they can be manifestly helped by God on account of their faith. Then Satan's activity will reveal itself, for he will embody himself in all people who belong to him as a result of their disposition .... And the works done by each one of them will scream for retribution .... And retribution will come .... The day will come which will put an end to this activity, when God's righteousness will come to the fore and every person's actions will be revealed .... The Day of Judgment will come as it is written .... when everyone will receive the reward he deserves .... when the Word of God will come to pass because it is the eternal Truth ....

Amen

Information about the end ....

B.D. 6487 from February 28th 1956, taken from Book No. 69

In a short time an era ends and a new one begins .... You can believe these Words because I say them so that you can live your life in a manner that you need not fear this end .... I have no other reason, I don’t want to trouble you without cause, I don’t want to throw you into confusion about the coming event, I simply want you to live in accordance with My will, then the end of this era will only be to your advantage, you won’t need to fear it but can joyfully look forward to a blessed time. I don’t have to inform you of this because no human being knows when his last day arrives and the knowledge that a period of deliverance ends would therefore be entirely unnecessary for many .... But this information can still be motivation for each human being to seriously consider his soul .... it can cause him to take a serious look at himself when he is reminded of the fleeting nature of earthly possessions and now strives to acquire spiritual wealth .... But he is not forced to believe ....

Nevertheless, I Am calling ever more urgently: believe these Words and do whatever you can .... and it will be in your best interest .... Because you are all in a poor psychological state, you all still have to work on yourselves and not much time left to do so. Don’t let yourselves be taken by surprise but acquaint yourselves with the thought that you are visitors on this earth for only a short time to come. This thought alone will make you live more consciously and you will turn to Me for help if you believe in Me as your God and Creator .... Consider your way of life up to now and question yourselves whether your conduct was right in My eyes .... Because you all know My commandments and you all know that love is the first and most important requirement, that you can never achieve bliss without love, and if you now have to admit to yourselves that you have treated this commandment half-heartedly and with indifference then you can still change .... as you have many opportunities to act with love ....

You will see hardship around you everywhere and will be able to help, just be willing to live virtuously and just, and honour the commandments of love which I only gave to you for your salvation. Because you are given many opportunities to do kind deeds .... And always remember your Redeemer Jesus Christ .... Call on Him that He should guide your thoughts and give you strength to carry out the divine will .... Then you are calling Me Myself and demonstrate that you want to come close to Me. Then you walk the right path, the path that Jesus Christ had walked before you .... The end comes irrevocably and irrespective of the state of your souls ....

But there is still time to prepare yourselves and therefore the warning call comes from above time and again: Think of the end .... My love wants to save you from destruction but it will never force you and therefore speaks to you in a manner that you can believe if you want. If you are observant you would notice much which could make you believe .... One era comes to an end and a new one begins .... And it merely comes to pass what seers and prophets had always predicted .... Because they too spoke in accordance with My instructions and announced the same as I Am telling you now, but your will is free; and your fate shall be as your will is once your earthly life has come to an end .... You can live in blissful happiness .... or you can become subject to death, an endless long time of torment and darkness from which you cannot free yourselves ....

Amen

Feature of the near end .... "He who has ears to hear ...."

B.D. 7018 from January 16th 1958, taken from Book No. 75

Many people will still experience God's grace of being addressed by Him in an unusual way, for He knows the degree of maturity of every individual soul, He also knows who allows himself to be touched by His grace, and He wants to come to the aid of all those who are of good will but are on the wrong path. And thus many people will still decide to turn back who are not expected to do so by their fellow human beings, and these will often be a clearer admonition to their fellow human beings than sermons can be which are not delivered in all liveliness. God is still gathering His sheep before the end comes, and His call is not always without success. And yet every man's will remains free .... Nor is an unusual gift of grace compulsory, for the same gift can be offered to many in the same way, but not all will respond to it in the same way as individuals .... Only this shall be told to you humans again and again, that God courts every soul until the human being's death, that He does not cease to extend His hand to him, which he only needs to grasp in order to be eternally saved. And the last time on this earth is an unusual time of grace because the adversary's activity also assumes unusual proportions. And no matter how much he rages during this time every person still has the opportunity to come into contact with God's gifts of grace, but it is his free will which decides whether and how he uses the latter. The slightest will to only do the right thing on earth and to fulfil the actual earthly task can already earn him obvious indications, because God rewards such a will, because He reveals Himself to the human being in accordance with this will .... because He Himself grasps him and lovingly pushes him towards the right path. But the activity of God's adversary is also becoming ever more apparent and it could open many people's eyes and many could recognize who is wielding his sceptre in the last days .... But people's lack of conscience also blinds them to all events which prove satanic influence. And no human being is forcibly made to see, only always called out to them: 'He who has ears, let him hear .... he who has eyes, let him see ...." And this is a clear characteristic of the approaching end and the activity of the prince of darkness, that exuberant joie de vivre, sensual pleasure and well-being are sought and striven for, that he drives people to actions of the lowest kind, that everything gets out of order and that no harmony whatsoever is to be found any more, be it in the living together of people or also in creation and activity in any field .... Everything is confused, distorted, the divine order has been overturned, it is a state which soon cannot be imagined to be worse. And yet God's grace rules in the midst of this chaos and still wants to save people from ruin. And it only requires good will for His grace to become effective .... which again and again individuals will muster and now also be able to free themselves from the shackles of the one who works unusually because He knows that He does not have much time left ....

Amen

Signs of the last days ....

B.D. 8277 from September 20th 1962, taken from Book No. 87

You can rest assured that everything I have announced through seers and prophets will fulfil itself, for the end moves ever closer and by the signs of the times you will recognise the hour you live in. Time and again the objection is raised that the end was always dreaded during bad times and yet the earth continued to exist .... that even My disciples had counted on My early return and that they, too, had been mistaken .... And likewise they don't want to listen and believe in My present proclamations. And I repeatedly emphasise the fact that one day the future will become the present and that you humans have now arrived at the lowest spiritual point which necessitates an end of this earth which, however, should only be understood as a total transformation of the earth's surface and not the destruction of the earth as a work of creation. For this earth will continue to fulfil its task in the universe, it will continue to shelter people for the purpose of maturing their souls .... Yet first it has to be made suitable for this again.

My Word is truth, and if I send you My Word from above, if I explain My plan of Salvation to you so that you will also know all correlations, then I actually only intend you to faithfully accept My warnings and admonitions and change your attitude towards Me accordingly .... For you should think further than just your daily life, you should think of what lies ahead of you since you know for certain that you will have to die and cannot prolong your life for even one day, that you therefore depend on the Power which called you into being .... You should seriously deliberate these thoughts, and it will not be to your disadvantage, for then I will also help you to think clearly and to consider the idea of an end, and what this end means for each one of you. If you believe in a God and Creator Whose love called you into being then you will not be so worried when you are made aware of a near end, for then you will know that this God and Creator also holds your destiny in His hands, that you only need to commend yourselves to His love and grace in order to be safely lead through the approaching time .... And the references relating to it won't frighten you, instead you will merely join more closely with your God and Creator, Whom you recognise as your eternal Father.

Yet the unbelievers will be badly affected, and it is to them which My constant prophesies of a near end apply, for they can still change themselves during the short time they have left. Just pay attention to the signs of the time, for I have already announced those to My first disciples .... But by now you are at the start of the time of affliction, you hear about wars, about earthquakes .... accidents and disasters are increasing .... you can observe changes in the universe, and you also see how people behave who have degenerated and believe that they can interfere in My creation, who let themselves be driven to God-opposing experiments which will not end well ....

Notice the frame of mind of people who indulge in worldly pleasures, who are harsh and unloving and don't consider their neighbour's hardship .... Pay attention to the lack of faith, to their attitude towards Jesus Christ and His act of Salvation, and you will know that you are already living in the midst of time which precedes the end. The battle of faith, too, will flare up with such cruelty you would not think possible. And this spiritual low level will draw the end closer and has already reached the degree which would justify My intervention, but I will not divert from the day that has been determined in My plan of Salvation since eternity .... But neither will I postpone this day, for in My wisdom I also realised when the time is right for the work of transformation to take place ....

And therefore I will let My voice be heard until the end announcing the approaching end, and happy is he who listens to this voice and prepares himself .... happy is he who wants to belong to My Own and remains loyal to Me until the end .... For I will provide him with exceptional strength, he will stand firm and need not fear the day of the end ....

Amen

Announcement of the end and signs of the time ....

B.D. 8310 from October 25th 1962, taken from Book No. 87

The announcements of a near end seem unbelievable to people, consequently they reject them and also doubt the truth of the spiritual messages I convey to Earth .... And yet it will not take long for these announcements to fulfil themselves, for My Word is truth .... And precisely the fact that people don't have much time left to change their nature into love causes Me to repeatedly draw their attention to the end and to seriously admonish them to listen to My Word and to live their life accordingly. However, people don't want to believe and I cannot forcibly affect their thoughts and intentions, I can only ever inform them of that which is about to happen to them and leave it up to their free will as to how they assess and make use of such proclamations. And since the process of the end has never taken place before, since people have no knowledge of this, it is also difficult for them to believe it, even though from the beginning of this earthly period I have indicated this end time and again. Yet they should also take notice of the signs which I foretold as well .... They will notice that the signs are increasing and that, purely from a worldly point of view, a change must come about, for everything is intensifying to an abnormal degree, people find themselves on a level which should make them stop and think .... There is no more love, instead, people outdo each other with heartlessness, living next to each other in harmony no longer exists, people are hostile towards each other and allow free reign to their low instincts and passions, they chase after material goods and do not strive towards any spiritual contact whatsoever .... Like it was at the time of the great Flood, people are only searching for worldly pleasure and even obtain it by unlawful means due to the fact that love has grown cold .... Anyone looking around with open eyes should already recognise the signs of the last days and know that one day restitution will have to come, that one day God's power and righteousness must come to the fore, if a God is believed in at all. If this faith is completely missing, people will truly have reached a low spiritual level which will also draw in the end of this earth .... Yet from My side nothing else can be done but to repeatedly point out the end, to constantly keep addressing people through the mouths of prophets and seers and to enlighten them about the cause and effect of people's lives .... but always leaving it up to their freedom of will to grant credence to the proclaimers of My Word or to reject it. Nevertheless, every person's destiny will proceed faster than you think; all of you will have to experience this time if you are not blessed by being recalled before. My plan of Salvation was established an infinitely long time ago and will certainly be implemented because the time the spiritual beings were granted for releasing themselves from the physical form in this period of salvation has come to an end .... And even the exceedingly short time you have left until the end could still be enough for your final release if only you make your serious will known to fulfil your purpose of life on earth, consciously strive towards Me and appeal for My support to achieve perfection .... For I will truly comply with this serious plea, I will help you in every spiritual adversity and with profound mercy draw you to Me, so that you will not go astray again for an infinitely long time when the end of this earth has come ....

Amen

People's low spiritual state necessitates an end ....

B.D. 8427 from March 3rd 1963, taken from Book No. 89

Once someone has penetrated spiritual knowledge he is also entitled to make a judgment in regards to humanity's spiritual state, and he will realise that spiritual progress on this earth is not possible anymore .... He will be able to observe that the commandments of love for God and one's neighbour are only very rarely lived up to and that the disregard of these commandments results in ever greater darkness .... He will also know that people's will itself is the decisive factor and that this is also misused, since it is turning increasingly more towards the adversary which explains why people are under his control. Salvation would certainly be possible if only people were willing to accept the Word of God, which He Himself conveys to earth and which truly has the strength to lead to a change in human thinking. Yet precisely this willingness is missing and thus humanity is irrevocably approaching the end, so that the unspiritual state will be brought to a halt and a new phase of redemption will start which will impede the endless fall into the abyss, and the being which had failed as a human being will be integrated into the process of return once again, in accordance with divine will. Anyone who has penetrated spiritual knowledge will also understand everything that is happening .... he will know that one period of Salvation is coming to an end and that a new one is beginning, because he knows the reason for people's unspiritual state and also that God's love keeps creating ever new possibilities to lead the beings, which had once emerged from Him, to their goal. And only those people who penetrated spiritual knowledge can offer a little help by passing their knowledge on to their fellow human beings .... but then free will has to be prepared again to accept such knowledge. And people's will is extraordinarily weakened .... A person could certainly place himself into a state of strength and also attain a stronger will, but this requires him to live in love himself and to take the path to Jesus Christ Who, through His crucifixion, acquired unmeasured blessings, thus also the strengthening of will .... Deeds of love will always grant strength to a person, and a call upon Jesus will fortify the will, for then the will is no longer completely averted from God, for anyone who is lovingly active also establishes contact with God, the Eternal Love. And anyone who calls upon Jesus Christ acknowledges Him as the Redeemer of the world and thus also as God Himself, Who became a human being in Jesus Christ .... Hence you all can escape this state of weakness, you are not left to your own devices in your helplessness, but strength is at your disposal at all times if only you desire it .... And those who possess this knowledge will always provide you with clarification, but as long as your heart and ears are unreceptive to it their words will remain ineffective, you will remain weak and unenlightened and won't live up to your purpose of life.

However, force will never be exerted on you on God's part, it will be entirely left up to your will as to how you deal with your fellow human beings' instructions, yet they will be conveyed to you so that you can also make this decision yourselves. If, however, your own will rejects it and you cannot find your way out of the state of darkness then you are entangled in a net of lies and errors which you can no longer tear apart yourselves, since it keeps you constrained and was cast upon you by the adversary himself. And then the only option left is to break the adversary's power, that is, to remove the opportunity for him to harass people on earth, which means the dissolution of earth with all its creations as well as all living creatures up to the human being .... hence an end for you humans with a subsequent banishment into hard matter and a reshaping of all material creations for the purpose of sheltering the still bound spiritual substances, which likewise shall attain higher development on this earth .... A spiritual change on this earth is impossible because people fail to muster the will for it .... Yet that which will follow later will also demonstrate a spiritual change, for after the demise of the old earth a new earth will arise with incomparably beautiful creations, with spiritually mature people who had passed their test of faith and will on this old earth and who shall be returned to the new earth as the root of the new human generation .... For they will be spiritually awakened, they will know about God's love and His reign and activity throughout the universe and they will also know that all creations only serve the once fallen spiritual beings to attain full maturity, they will know that divine order must be observed and that everything which leaves this order will require endless time in order to reach the goal again one day, to integrate with the law of eternal order and to live a life of selfless love .... And at the end of an earthly period love will have grown completely cold amongst people, thus profound darkness will be on earth, for only love is the light which penetrates the darkness .... And only the one who lives in love will also penetrate spiritual knowledge, he will ignite the light within himself and all the terrors of darkness will be over for him .... And this bright light will illuminate the new earth, and all people will be fully enlightened for they will live in love and walk with God, Who is Love Himself and the Light of eternity ....

Amen

Renewed reference to the end ....

B.D. 8876 from October 29th 1964, taken from Book No. 93

How often has the near end been pointed out to you already, how often have you been admonished not to live your life on earth complacently and to eagerly work at improving your soul, yet you do nothing in order to avoid the dreadful fate of a renewed banishment .... You don't believe these references until one day it will come upon you with force and then you will no longer be able to change your thinking and intentions. For the time I determined for it will be adhered to and the last day will come like a thief in the night .... Yet beforehand you will still be seriously shaken out of your sleep .... for all great events cast their shadows before them .... And this, too, will seem inconceivable to you, for the elements of nature will so violently manifest themselves that it will take many people's lives and cause great lamentation .... And yet, this natural event will only result in the fact that people will acknowledge it as the reign of a higher Power less then ever, that it will only add to their doubt in this Power because a God of love cannot be recognised in an event where countless people will have to sacrifice themselves .... But how shall I give you a sign of My power and might? You, who are unable to believe in this Power although you are at Its mercy? If I speak quietly to you, you don't listen to Me, for you close your ears and eyes and are unable to see the gentle light shining for you .... And since you don't pay attention to My quiet voice I must speak louder .... so loud that no-one can deny this voice anymore. Yet you will all make up excuses so as not to have to admit that you are being addressed by God for your own good. But those who recognise this wake-up call, who recognise Me Myself in the raging of the natural elements and take refuge in Me will indeed be saved, for even if they lose their earthly life they will nevertheless enter into eternity with the realisation of a God and will be able to continue their ascent.

But the end will come soon after this intervention .... no matter how implausible it seems to you .... This end has been planned from the start and nothing will persuade Me to stop it, for I do not only consider the human being who fails his last test of will but all creations are close to My heart whose development is still below the human stage but which are also My beings to whom I grant My mercy and whom I want to lead to ascent. And for this purpose the earth will have to renew itself, the earth's surface must go through a total transformation, and the day is firmly predetermined. And you humans have to be told that you should pay attention to the sign of the times .... that I said to you 'it will be just like it was at the time of the Flood ....' People will enjoy life to the fullest, they will not be able to stop sinning anymore because they will only love themselves, and this wrong love will allow them to do whatever they like .... And this will result in confused thinking, for no-one will pay attention to the divine Word any longer which clearly points His will out to them .... And then only the short time of the battle of faith lies ahead of you, which is the last phase before the destruction, it is the time when My Own will have to prove themselves, when they must profess Me as their Lord and God, as their Redeemer .... in order to then be able to enter the paradise of the new earth .... The hour of Judgment is very near and, yet, people refuse to listen, they continue to live their life on earth with indifference and unscrupulousness, and regardless of how many people mention it, they are lacking faith and without faith they won't change their way of life .... But the day will come like a thief in the night, and blessed are those who give credence to My Words and live in such a way that this day cannot frighten them .... who will therefore also prevail until the end ....

Amen

Signs of the end time ....

B.D. 4735 from September 10th 1949, taken from Book No. 54

Pay attention to the signs of the times. Look around you with the eyes of the spirit and you will recognize the hour in which you live, you will recognize that night is approaching and that only a few minutes of light are still given to you until night falls. Everything points to the imminent decline, love is growing cold among people and only a few serve their neighbour selflessly. Notice how rarely truth is still to be found amongst people, how blindly they walk along without knowledge of the fate they will meet if they don't change. Recognize from all these signs that the life clock of many people has run out, recognize that the end is near. I cannot give you any other time determination for the end, you must observe the activity and goings-on around you yourselves so that you know when the day will end. I draw your attention to it because I don't want you to be surprised and fall prey to the last days, for you must be told that you must not let yourselves be deceived by the apparent improvement in the conduct of life of individuals; you must be told that, from a worldly point of view, there is no reason for a change but that one has suddenly been created and now the hour of My intervention has also come, which I have constantly announced. Pay attention to everything that happens around you and the sooner you will recognize in which time you live. Just don't lose faith in Me and My love, for everything I do and allow has your spiritual development as its aim, even though it seems cruel to you and you are unable to recognize Me in it. My own can feel safe in My protection, they can trustingly expect My help in every earthly and spiritual adversity; My own need not fear anything, no matter what may come, if only they raise their eyes to Me, thus constantly remain united with Me in thought and deed. And thus you know that there is not much time left until the earth experiences a great upheaval, so prepare yourselves for it; don't pay attention to the world but pay the greatest attention to your soul's life, give your soul the opportunity to mature by looking around you and, where you see adversity, intervene helpfully, also enlighten your fellow human beings about the seriousness of the time and preach love to them, because only love gives them strength to endure the life which still lies ahead of them. And show them by example the effect of a life of love, be strong in faith and active in love yourselves, and your strength will increase and you will overcome everything you are burdened with. You will also survive the most difficult time because I will help you .... And you will persevere until the end ....

Amen

Attention to world affairs ....

B.D. 6346 from September 3rd 1955, taken from Book No. 68

You humans allow yourselves to be far more impressed by world events than is good for you, for all your thinking, your hopes and wishes are directed towards it and you find no time for contemplative hours as you take yourselves to court, as you pay attention to the course of your own development. Everything would work out satisfactorily for the individual person if he wanted to place his own shaping in the foreground and believed with conviction that world events are also directed by Me Myself .... yet always according to people's will and their spiritual nature. What you humans consider most important is only ever the result of your spiritual indifference .... it is the effect of people's spiritual low. For this determines the human will to act unkindly towards humanity, but it is also the reason for obvious disasters and thus also disturbing world events which are intended to arouse humanity and induce it to strive upwards. If only people were a little more concerned about their spiritual well-being then everything would also be in order again on earth .... people would not allow themselves to be disturbed by the actions of individuals, for then they would bring everything to Me and entrust a change to Me .... And this would truly not be to their detriment, they would also be guided earthly into calmer waters again and still reach their aim .... And thus you humans can still reckon with much disaster that is in store for earth, partly caused by human will, partly intended for you by Me Myself to change your direction of thought, to forcibly remind you of your end, when you see the lives of many people around you endangered or extinguished .... when you have to experience how powerless you are yourselves if you don't turn to the one Who alone is powerful .... But Whom you forget or don't want to acknowledge, otherwise you would make the fulfilment of His will your concern and then also enjoy His protection in every adversity and danger, even if these threaten you on your part. If you live with Me then you pay little attention to world events because you commend yourselves and your actions to Me, because you also trust Me to help you. But if you exclude Me from your thoughts, if you only pay attention to what My adversary is doing .... then My adversary will tie you up himself through the events which are his work, and you will get caught up in the whirlpool which pulls you in .... Whatever happens in the world, My will and My might can banish it, and My will and My might can also avert the effect of all evil from you who submit yourselves to Me, who take refuge in Me, who commend yourselves to Me and see in Me your father .... You truly need not fear the world if you turn your eyes upwards to Me, if you disregard the earthly kingdom but eagerly strive for the spiritual kingdom .... Nothing need frighten you, even if hell rages around you, I will guide you through all dangers as long as you are in contact with Me through your will, your love and your striving .... as well as your eyes are spiritually directed .... You will in no way be threatened by danger, for nothing can happen to you but what serves you towards perfection .... If you strive for your spiritual perfection you will no longer fear worldly events or disturbing occurrences, for you will feel safe in My protection ....

Amen
