Misleading Doctrine Of Reincarnation

In The Word of God are texts published and offered which Bertha Dudde was permitted to prophetically receive and record. One promise of Jesus Christ was (John 14.21): ‘Whoever has My commands and obeys them, he is the one who loves Me. He who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I too will love him and show Myself to him.’

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.

Impact of false teachings .... combat ....

B.D. 6740 from January 18th 1957, taken from Book No. 72

One misguided teaching can result in an endless number of misguided teachings or views if it is not corrected before it can exert its devastating effect. For a misguided teaching, no matter in which area, is always My adversary's work who thereby wants to win people over and make them incapable of recognizing the truth. But what comes forth from the adversary can never have a good or non-harmful effect .... This is the only reason why I always try to convey the truth to you, because a misguided teaching cannot be fought in any other way, thus I will never use force against it but make it possible for every person to recognize this misguided teaching and to displace it through truth. If you humans now know about its devastating effect you will also understand why I instruct My bearers of light again and again to take action against everything which does not correspond to the truth. I can certainly be lenient with people who are completely without knowledge, who, in good faith that they are acting right, profess error because they believe it to be truth .... But I also know who is capable of an examination, and if I now give him the opportunity to come to terms with the spiritual knowledge he was offered .... if I supply him with truth and he can therefore oppose it to error, then he should also make use of this privilege .... And then I can no longer be lenient towards him if he nevertheless holds on to error and does not accept the truth. For only the truth can bring him blessings for his soul, an erroneous teaching, on the other hand, cannot bring his soul ascent .... but a person's degree of love for Me will be assessed if he follows an erroneous teaching .... But he nevertheless has to accept the truth, and if this does not happen in earthly life then in the kingdom of the beyond, and depending on the degree of light in which he departs he will be able to recognize error and truth there in a shorter or longer time. But only the truth can make him happy. But if the bearers of light succeed in already branding a misguided teaching on earth and rendering it harmless through pure truth, if they succeed in proving My adversary as the origin of a teaching, then an inconceivable amount will have been gained, because at the same time all effects of that teaching will also be recognized and because the human being will now also recognize Me and My nature ever more brightly, but which is veiled by misguided teachings or even results in a distorted image of Me. For you must always bear in mind that My adversary wants to prevent you from recognizing Me correctly in order to also prevent you from showing love towards Me and striving towards Me. Hence I, as the eternal truth Myself, can only be distorted by error, and it requires a great measure of love to nevertheless hand oneself over to Me and not take offence at error, but only very few people have this love, and therefore error is a great danger, after all, it drives people into the adversary's hands where love does not prevent his influence. People don't take truth seriously enough because the deep desire for it would quickly let them recognize where error has crept in. But thoughtlessly they mostly accept everything that is put in front of them as truth, or else they reject everything. Pure truth would prevail if people themselves aspired to it. Their indifference towards the truth, however, makes it possible for My adversary to intrude and spread misguided teachings, and that My adversary's intention is to work against Me will be clear to everyone .... Consequently, people must also recognize the danger of his activity and his works, and those who recognize error as error and are able and also instructed to oppose pure truth must not show tolerance towards it. For I only guide the truth down to earth in order to help people out of the darkness of night into the light of day .... And whoever receives light should not turn his eye towards the darkness but carry his light into this darkness in order to chase it away ....

Amen

Before personification - Embodiment on earth – Destiny in spiritual realm

The soul's process of development before embodiment ....

B.D. 6930 from September 29th 1957, taken from Book No. 74

You humans have passed through many forms .... i.e., your real Self, your soul, had to go through a long process of development before it was allowed to incarnate in a human body .... And this process of development was the path through all the works of creation .... Dissolved into countless minute particles the soul had to animate each one of these works of creation and thus slowly mature, as soon as various particles had joined each other they had to constantly enter new forms, and all forms .... the innumerable works of creation .... contributed towards the maturing of these substances of soul until, finally, all particles were allowed to come together again and as a human soul enter and give life to the last form, the human body. Hence you all had to travel this path of development since due to your past fall into sin the separation from God became so great that the soul in its lifeless state, which was the result of its apostasy, would never have been able to overcome this vast distance from Him. It first had to be brought back to life. But life could not be granted to the beings which had become sinful .... they had to acquire it through being of service. However, the being would never serve voluntarily because it would have been prevented from doing so by God's adversary, whom it had followed into the abyss ....

But it wasn't meant to remain eternally subject to death, it was meant to be given the opportunity to attain life .... and this 'opportunity' was the creation. God seized the fallen spirits from His adversary and made them serve Himself, He gave every work of creation its purpose according to natural law and made it fulfil this purpose in a state of compulsion.

As a result it had to be of service and, if only after an infinitely long time, thereby acquired a weak life which nevertheless enabled it to become constantly more active. For every being having once emerged from God's love was His emanated strength which wants to be active .... However, the beings which had joined God's adversary rejected God's illumination of love which is needed for living, thus for a being's activity, and therefore it fell into the state of death. And were it left to the being itself it would never be able to come alive again because its fall into the abyss made it completely helpless. For this reason God called a work into existence which at first ruled out the being's will for activity, which subordinated itself entirely to His will and which, through 'natural law', carried out the purpose He had assigned to this work, to the whole of creation.

His plan consisted of slowly bringing back to life what was lifeless, of giving it the possibility to be active again. And thus it was joined to the individual works of creation in tiny particles and through natural law obliged to get active again .... It was bound in these creations and unable to resist, it had to be of service .... but thereby was also able to reach the degree of development which gained it ever more freedom and finally also placed the spiritual being into the state of free will, from where it then has to decide whether it wants to continue its ascent or return into the abyss once more .... For God certainly helps the being to ascend but He does not compel it if it wants to descend. This decision of free will therefore takes place during the final stage of development on this earth .... when the soul is embodied as a human beings and can use its free will again at its own discretion .... Then the human being must recognise the great mercy of the former process of development and make conscious use of his earthly life, he must prove himself worthy and have the will that his final stage shall take him to the goal, he must strive whole-heartedly for his perfection and thus prove that he belongs to God; he must do whatever it takes so as not to fall again into the hands of the one from whom God's love had helped him become free throughout infinitely long times .... He must not live carelessly during this short time but again and again only remember the spiritual goal which will release him from all constraints, which signifies the reunion with God in light and strength and happiness .... And thus you humans were given earthly life for the sake of liberating your soul from a bondage which was placed upon you by God's adversary since time immemorial but which was its own fault and thus it will also have to remove its own share in order to gain its freedom and everlasting life ....

Amen

Combating the urges from the pre-embodiment ....

B.D. 7141 from June 7th 1958, taken from Book No. 76

Everything that still clings to you from your previous embodiment must be repelled or changed into the opposite during your earthly life. That is the purpose of your earthly life, that you work on yourselves in order to reach the last degree of your perfection, which can certainly be achieved during this time of your earthly change, but which also requires great willpower. In the time of pre-embodiment you were already able to repel much of the anti-divine, in every form the soul substances were able to mature, and thus a certain degree of maturity was reached which then allowed the embodiment as a human being. But you are now beginning this embodiment in a still very deficient state, your soul is still afflicted with many faults and weaknesses which it has partly brought with it from the stages of pre-embodiment into earthly life as a human being. It will still have many drives and desires within itself which it must discard and fight if it wants to become perfect, as is its aim on earth. And precisely at this time it will be extremely harassed by God's adversary who can now also exert his influence on the human being .... And now it is no longer subject to the compulsory law that the external form according to God's will confers a certain degree of maturity on it, instead, it can freely decide for itself whether its will submits to the adversary's influence or whether it resists and turns to God .... Thus the degree of maturity the soul attains in earthly life depends on this attitude. However, the adversary will understandably gain far more influence if the soul is still very burdened with weaknesses and vices of all kinds. And the harder the battle it will have to wage against temptations of all kinds .... which it would never be able to survive without help. But it will also be granted every help in earthly life because God is concerned about the return of every single soul and because His love helps wherever the soul is weak and in danger of failing. Yet God does not attack free will either, and the final decision is nevertheless left to the human being alone. But he should also know that much immaturity still has to be brought to maturity in every human being, he should also know what these deficiencies consist of .... that the soul is or can already be of deficient form when it is conceived into the human body and that it is afflicted by precisely those faults and weaknesses which it did not master in its pre-embodiment .... partly by still great rebelliousness of the spiritual, partly by rapid termination of the stay in those forms .... And the human being should therefore fight with a strong will against all desires or vices which he himself can recognize as not being of divine origin, and he will .... as long as he is of good will .... will be supported in every way, he will still be able to liberate himself during earthly life, because every person can attain maturity if only he seriously wants it. But he will always have to make use of God's help in Jesus, otherwise he will never succeed in liberating himself from the adversary ....

Amen

The soul consciously enters its embodiment ....

B.D. 7669 from August 8th 1960, taken from Book No. 80

You start your earthly path entirely aware of what is in store for you and voluntarily give your approval .... But your past memory will be taken away from you again; otherwise you would cover your earthly progress under a certain amount of compulsion which would not be beneficial for your soul. Therefore you should not complain about this or that stroke of fate, for they are all merely the means which are intended to help your souls attain maturity and which, with the right attitude, will indeed lead you to perfection. Thus your will needs to aim in the right direction, this is the test of earthly life which you should pass and the reason for your life on earth. When you incarnate as a human being all obstacles seem easily surmountable to you, and you gladly take them upon yourselves because you realise that it is the last embodiment in a shell, that you can live in complete freedom after your earthly progress is over. And it is indeed possible for you to liberate yourselves from the physical form through this earthly life if you always appeal to God for support. Thereby the soul demonstrates that it wants to fulfil its purpose on earth, it demonstrates that it acknowledges God and desires Him or it would not call upon Him for His help. And then the soul will be able to overcome even the most severe strokes of fate, it will never have to bear them alone but receive much spiritual support, so that its earthly progress will also show periods of relief and it will always emerge from every test more mature. Yet without such trials it will be unable to progress in its development. It receives this realisation prior to its embodiment as a human being, and it does not refuse to take the path on earth. If, however, it retained its past memory then its intention and actions would hardly be free, it would constantly act under compulsion as well as out of fear of what is to come, even if it weren't granted complete clarification and knowledge of it. Nevertheless, as human beings you should know that you voluntarily accepted your earthly fate, and this knowledge should reassure you, insofar as that you should always remember that your complete liberation from the physical shell is possible, just as your earthly progress is destined too. You should be aware of the fact that you may always receive spiritual support, that God Himself wants you to return to Him and that He yearns for you, thus He will leave no stone unturned in order to make your return easier, and that you therefore need not fear anything which is destined to come upon you .... For with His help you will be able to surmount everything, with His help you will succeed in becoming master over His adversary who still keeps you enchained .... He has no more power over you if you desire God, Who is Father to all of you .... Who fought in Jesus Christ against His and your enemy and Who defeated him too. And you need only ever pray to Him for strength, He will always stand by your side, He Himself will provide you with strength when it concerns living life on earth successfully .... when it concerns overcoming everything that is difficult, that is imposed on you by destiny, so that you will mature fully while you are still on earth, so that you achieve liberation from every shell and will be able to enter the spiritual kingdom as free beings ....

Amen

The souls' fate after death varies ....

B.D. 8745 from February 5th 1964, taken from Book No. 92

I Am present with you Myself when you hear My Word, and My presence has to fill you with light and strength because I Am the primary source of light and strength Myself. The fact that you do not feel it in a purely physical way cannot be helped for you own sakes, since My permeation of light would destroy your weak body if I did not just impart it to the soul which is already able to tolerate a greater measure of light and strength and is happy in this state.

Hence you have to believe this, for I cannot provide you with any other evidence but for the fact that you hear My Word and that this Word also has to make your soul very happy, it demonstrates My direct contact after all, for My Word is strength and light and this is what you hold on to, it cannot vanish anymore, it is the obvious sign of My presence which continues to please you even if you detach yourselves from this heartfelt bond by complying with the world and its requirements again. But you have an abundance of light and strength and are able to resist all temptations by the world, you constantly look into My direction, and you will no longer leave Me, just as I will not let go of you, who have become My Own through your heartfelt bond with Me.

And time and again I want to delight you anew by initiating you into profound secrets, into knowledge which only I Am able to impart to you, because it touches on spiritual areas which are still locked to you as human beings as long as I Myself don't open them for you. And such knowledge will always please you and demonstrate My boundless love for you:

The transition from earthly existence into the spiritual realm entirely corresponds to a person's state of maturity and varies considerably .... A still imperfectly shaped soul possessing little love usually does not know that it is physically dead, it still moves within the same environment and just can't quite understand itself, for it keeps coming across obstacles arising from the fact that it still believes that it is alive and yet it is neither listened to nor able to do the things it used to do on earth. And such souls are also in darkness which, corresponding to their low degree of love, is impenetrable or occasionally changes into a faint state of twilight .... A soul like that is not blessed, it wanders about, it clings to similarly natured souls on earth, it tries to impose its thoughts on them and resists all beings wishing to improve its position, which can last, or even get worse, as long as it does not withdraw and reflect on its state ....

If, however, a soul departs from earth which had not lived a bad way of life, which even had acquired small merits through deeds of love but had little will to believe and failed to find Me in Jesus on earth, it will also be frequently unaware that it is no longer physically alive on earth, it will walk through vast deserted regions, admittedly in a slight twilight yet unable to perceive anything, it will meet no other beings and be alone with its thoughts .... And it will still dwell on many worldly thoughts, hanker after many different things and grieve its lack of possessions, which it is unable to understand and thus believes that it was placed into barren stretches of land as a result of disasters or by people with ill-intentions, and will then keep looking for ways out ....

And it is possible that it will wander through such areas for an infinitely long time until, due to the bleakness, it will gradually change its way of thinking and subsequently also meet similarly minded beings, which will then signify a small ascent. As soon as it is able to communicate with others it will be possible to instruct such souls, for they are usually approached by beings of light under the same cover in order to help them become aware of themselves. And then these souls will also gradually start their ascent ....

And a soul which leaves its earthly body having recognised Me on earth, having lived a life of love, believing in Me in Jesus and is thus redeemed from its original sin, will enter the kingdom of light, that is, it will find itself in a delightful region where it will feel profoundly happy, where it will be met by beings which, like itself, are permeated by light .... it will meet its loved ones again, it will have discarded all earthly heaviness .... it will be able to move itself to wherever it desires to be, wherever it wants to stay, it will experience the kind of bliss it had no idea of on earth .... it will come aglow with burning love for Me, Who prepares such splendours for you .... it will also recognise in a flash what it didn't know before, be it awareness of profound wisdom, be it the spiritual sphere which cannot even remotely be described to you on earth .... overflowing with love it will turn towards the beings requiring its help, be it on earth or also in the kingdom of the beyond .... It will want to serve Me in utter devotion and unite with equally mature beings for greatest activation of strength in order to tackle rescue missions which necessitate immense power. The transition from earth into the spiritual kingdom is but an awakening from a hitherto dead state into life for these souls .... For now that it has attained true life, it considers the state as a human being merely as a state of death, and with an abundance of merciful love it will devote itself to the 'still dead' in order to help them come alive as well. For 'eye has not seen, nor ear heard, the things which I have prepared for those who love Me ....'

If only you humans on earth were able to get an idea of what fate might await you on the other side, you would truly strive to create this fate for yourselves; yet this knowledge cannot be given to you in advance, it can certainly be presented to you, but as long as you have no evidence of it the knowledge will mean too little to you as to make serious use of it.

Nevertheless, it is extremely wonderful for a soul if it is able to immediately exchange its life on earth after death with the spiritual kingdom, if it no longer has to go through the difficult process of maturing in the beyond, for this can often necessitate an infinitely long time if it does not receive loving intercession on part of people, and again, only those will experience this intercession if loving thoughts follow them, and this will only ever be gained by the person who has carried out labours of love himself. In that case his further development will proceed more easily, and the longing to meet his loved ones again can also be a great incentive .... just as every instructing spiritual friend will help him to reach maturity faster, if his instructions are accepted by the soul. But as long as you humans live on earth you will be unable to form an accurate concept, just as the various spheres in which the souls will be able to stay can only vaguely be described to you. And every human being should be grateful for all kinds of ailments and afflictions, which will guaranteed lead to a better fate for the soul, irrespective of its nature .... than if it would depart from earth without suffering .... providing its degree of love and faith do not assure the soul the kingdom of light ....

Yet the majority of people are without love and faith in Jesus Christ .... And their transition from life to death will not be a pleasant one, for they will meet on the other side what they had pursued on earth. The longing for the earthly world will still be excessive in worldly people and yet no longer be fulfilled, in its illusive existence the soul will indeed create a world for itself, however, it will soon realise that it only created mental images, until it eventually loses interest and realises that it is in a miserable state and yearns to change its situation .... Then it will also receive help ....

Yet even those who neither lived a good nor a bad life on earth cannot expect an enviably fate in the kingdom of the beyond .... Admittedly, they will not be depressed by most profound darkness yet their lack of knowledge will torment them, for they cannot understand why they are unable to see anything, unable to speak to anyone and yet exist .... They will have little strength, and only when they think of Me will it become a little lighter around themselves, and only then will My messengers of light be able to cross their path and help them to improve their situation .... providing they allow themselves to be taught and let go of their previous attitudes. But blessed are those who won't have all these difficult experiences in the kingdom of the beyond, for whom the kingdom of light is open and who may take possession of all glories which the Father offers to His children in abundance because I (He) love them and now they also respond to My (His) love ....

Amen

B.D. 8987 from May 31th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

The area, which is unfathomable for your mind, you can still enter, as My spirit can work in you .... Then there are no limits for you, for My mind is My portion, and I Myself know all, nothing is unknown to Me, and so I can also convey the same through My spirit, I can open up you into all areas .... But it depends on your maturity level, how far you can take insight into the secrets of creation, and depending on your level of maturity I can teach you, although even the smallest knowledge corresponds fully to the truth. But it’s up to you, to increase the maturity level, to be able to penetrate deeper what only love always realizes. For love bands closely together with Me, and then you shall also be filled by My spirit, you shall be able to see the whole creation lightly and clearly and capture all contexts. You will also know about the kind of creations, their purpose and their respective destination. You will also know about the diversity of the stars, which are so versatile, because they also carry all different mature souls and .... since I had countless ideas and them could carry out .... I therefore also formed every star after each other thoughts (laws), but which should all be for the return of the once fallen (spirituals). I’m not a being, Who is limited, Who gives up or uses up in His strength .... I constantly create and always new ideas emerge from Me and take shape .... I have so many mansions, where the development of those beings on the way back to Me is going on, My creations are countless and ever more creations arise out of My love, because I prepare new joys again and again for all of My beings, as more and more all of them climb to height, when they are on this way once. And so the people on earth are .... once when they have reached to a small glimmer of insight in the afterlife .... now also ascend and a throwback to the depth is excluded. Countless celestial bodies are to accommodate for these souls again, always appropriated to their level of maturity, that is always more increasing and thus also forces a change of their residence again and again .... You humans can see countless celestial bodies from earth, though those are for you to look .... but are innumerable. And there are still countless celestial bodies in the whole of creation, that are invisible for you, so that they also far exceed your estimate capacity as a human being .... So you only can watch the whole creation in the brightest light, because then you also know no longer limiting. But then your bliss doesn’t know limits, for you know the determination of any star and also to the state of maturity of its inhabitants, and you will always seek to increase it, to put them all in the same condition, in which you yourselves now dwell: in intimate union with Me Myself and constant streaming by love .... But a condition of your ascension is, that you possess a glimmer of knowledge .... And that means, that the truth has already penetrated you, because before that you move in the dark or walk in light twilight .... that you can not seperate from heresies. And the number of them is large .... This condition is probably is tried to be changed by light beings, but as long as they are rejected, there is no hope, and a throwback to the depth is still to be feared. But as well as there is just some love in them, they will not be closed from the intentions of the beings of light, which point them again and again to Jesus Christ, then they will also get off of their error and accept the truth, and the way up for them is safely. For these people the knowledge could have been developed already on earth, if they had attended to the voice of the spirit in themselves, because having already the knowledge on earth, opens the people the door to the kingdom of light, and they will certainly find back their way into Father’s house, in order to unite with Me forever ....

About the error of the doctrine of reincarnation

Path of the soul before earthly existence .... doctrine of reincarnation ....

B.D. 0786 from February 24th 1939, taken from Book No. 16

The human soul has travelled its path through thousands of embodiments of all kinds over an unimaginably long period of time. This time has brought about a certain maturity which should now lead to higher perfection in the last stage as a human being. The knowledge of this should be enough to apply the utmost strength to reach the state of perfection, but it is precisely this knowledge that is completely rejected by most people. Unfortunately, there is often the erroneous view that a soul does not first have to be formed into what it is, but is always inherent in the living being in the same way and that one can only speak of a soul in a human being if one wants to recognize something that continues to exist after death. The animal is denied any soul or spiritual substance .... and it is precisely this that leads to completely false views, in that the extremely compelling necessity of all living beings apart from humans is not recognized at all. It is therefore of the utmost importance to bear in mind the varied, indescribably frequent transformation of the outer shell in order to only then become aware of the full responsibility as a human being in earthly life. If every being was only meant to have a one-time embodiment, then the conditions of this embodiment would have to be so extraordinarily difficult if they were to lead to the state of maturity required for eternal bliss, for the distance of such a spiritual being from the eternal deity is too immeasurably great that it could be considerably reduced in such a short time. This is why the creator has intended all beings to reach this one mandatory state in which, according to divine will, every creature strives towards higher development without any responsibility of its own. To live through this preliminary stage of the human soul in all its diversity is of such immense importance that only from it arises the whole responsibility that man bears towards his soul, for this soul has struggled in the most incredible way and defied all resistance .... it has had to fulfil such infinite tasks and submit to God's will in everything, it has travelled a path which was not easy .... but which was the only way to form the soul in such a way that it can pass the last great test of strength in the human being when the will to endure becomes powerful in it. Every human being is therefore as such a world in itself .... it is a work of creation that contains everything that exists on earth and is visible to the human eye in the finest miniaturization .... the human soul has passed through all these wonders of creation and now, in its final embodiment, has to endure a tremendous struggle if the millennia-long struggle up to the stage of the human being is not to have been in vain. Man should remain fully aware of this responsibility and ask God for strength to fulfil the last task on earth and thus bring redemption to the soul from infinitely long-lasting hardship ....

Path of the soul before earthly existence .... doctrine of re-embodiment ....

Visualize the greatness and omnipotence of God and only then will you be able to grasp the immeasurable love which embraces you earthly children, that even the smallest living being is in the everlasting care of the heavenly father and can never ever be put to shame, for God's love has countless ways and means in order to guide even the most unworthy .... being that consciously resists God's will onto the path of realization after all, even if often after an unspeakably long time. Again and again new shells are assigned to the being, and again and again the development of these through so many resistances is a new opportunity to mature. However, achieving the highest possible spiritual maturity in earthly life is extremely profitable for the soul, for the struggle in earthly life is certainly difficult in itself and demands much overcoming, perseverance and labour, but again, it is precisely in earthly life that the being is offered abundant privileges which already enable it to mature in a relatively short time. However, where the human being's will is blatantly opposed to the facilities offered to him, perfection is called into question and often even a regression is recorded .... Now the father's love in heaven is always and forever intent on leading the being to its final destiny, and indeed, the soul is now also offered the opportunity in the beyond to work on its perfection and to elevate itself into the state which results in a detachment from all matter. This is a far more difficult beginning in a world where everything tangible only exists in the imagination of the being, where the soul is as it were still entangled in all desires and worldly cravings, where it is exposed to all hostilities of this kind and cannot free itself from them through its own strength, where all desires, which in earthly life contributed to the fulfilment of earthly desires, now become torment, as they can no longer be fulfilled and cause the soul this agonizing state until it consciously turns away from them and feels a desire for pure spiritual pleasure. Such a desire will be granted immediately by the more perfect spiritual beings active in love, who will do everything in their power to free an unhappy soul from its state. Help will be granted to the soul immediately, only its will has to become active on its own and turn away from that which still connects it to earth and worldly desire. Where and how this transformation of the beings takes place has always been a cause of dispute for people concerning re-embodiment on earth. So it is enough for you to know that infinite times have passed and countless shells in the most diverse forms have surrounded your soul .... that all these living beings took abode in, on and above the earth through God's will, but always in the closest connection with the earth which just existed for the purpose of maturing .... that the last stage as a human being can likewise only be lived through on earth .... but that with the leaving of the earthly body the soul passes over into a kingdom now completely independent of the earth, no matter what state of maturity the soul has attained on earth. There are the most inconceivable opportunities for its further development even outside of this earth, and once the soul has left its physical earthly shell and the millennia-long stay on earth has not brought it the final maturity, such an unspeakably difficult struggle begins in the beyond, and a re-embodiment on earth would be about the same as if the father would show indulgence to an underage child who refuses to obey him again and again instead of giving it to a strict school which lets it recognize the wrong of its actions ....

Path of the soul before earthly existence .... re-embodiment doctrine...

How far the heavenly father's care for His children on earth extends is evident from the fact that every embodiment beforehand already guarantees the greatest possible spiritual development which can be achieved in this form, so that the human being's soul is at a certain degree of maturity when it enters the body of flesh and the last embodiment is now completely sufficient for the attainment of childship to God if the human being makes it a matter of concern to utilize earthly life to the best of his ability for spiritual progress. If this time of grace has passed uselessly or unsuccessfully for the soul due to its own will or resistance, this is all the more regrettable as the being now has to bear the consequences of its resistance itself, i.e. at the same time all immature and unfinished spirituality also results in suffering and punishment .... The soul will suffer to the same extent as it recognizes its weaknesses and faults and can no longer free itself from these as it did on earth .... The time of grace of its own redemption is over, and if the work of redemption and love of the perfect beings would not start to help the soul and bring it up, the soul would now be hopelessly lost.

However, it is a false assumption that a uselessly spent earthly life can be taken up again at will in order to make up for the neglected self-redemption. If such were intended by the lord of creation without exception, then there would truly be no need for the divine saviour's work of redemption, for every being would then be free to repeat the once missed or badly used earthly life at will, and thus the immense blessing of the work of redemption would be considerably reduced, whereas, however, precisely for the short duration of earthly life through the act of salvation unlimited blessings were acquired for the human being in order to enable a complete liberation from matter during this time, even though it is up to every human being to choose this path of grace, resp. or to take upon himself the time of suffering in the hereafter with all its torments. God's infinite love will not allow any being to fall prey to eternal destruction, and the possibilities of purification are endless, yet you will only be allowed to make use of your time on earth once, apart from the few cases where the lord has linked a special task or intention to it .... which, however, can never be generalized. The teaching of re-embodiment is always detrimental to people, for in a certain lukewarmness of spirit they will always seek comfort or justification in the fact that they can make up for everything they lack one day, and such a teaching will never be beneficial, for only restless work on themselves can bring them the success that they can one day look back on their life with satisfaction .... while the teaching of re-embodiment always leaves a loophole open which the weak, careless and lukewarm make use of. You should not forget your goal for one minute of your life, always strive for reunification with God and try to utilize your time on earth to the utmost, only then will you make yourselves worthy of the careful loving care that the lord God has bestowed upon you during the infinitely long path you have travelled until your earthly existence ....

Amen

Refutation of the doctrine of reincarnation .... justice ....

B.D. 3220 from August 14th 1944, taken from Book No. 42

A bright light is given to you if you have the will to let it shine .... A time of confusion also confuses people's thinking, their ability to think becomes weaker and they can no longer recognize spiritual truths as such, which is why a constant supply of them is necessary and this requires people who are willing to receive them, through whom spiritual knowledge can be conveyed to the seekers. Such instruction can take place in various ways, it can supplement knowledge which already exists, it can be offered as completely new knowledge if the human being had previously thought wrongly, but it can also clarify an area as a refutation of wrong teachings about which people are still unclear. But the prerequisite is always that God-oriented forces convey the spiritual thought material to the human being who, as a receptacle of the divine spirit, declares himself willing to serve God by spreading the truth. And this prerequisite is given as soon as heartfelt prayer for the supply of pure truth precedes every spiritual instruction .... All good spiritual forces only have one aim .... to unite the embodied being on earth with God, i.e. to help him to do so. However, spiritual unification only exists in the state of light, i.e. in the state of realization, which is the result of a life of love. In order to reach this state the human being is given earthly life in which he can develop his abilities, which are only weakly developed at the beginning of his embodiment but can experience an ascending or also descending development according to his will. His course of life gives him every opportunity for this development, but it does not depend on more or less developed gifts of intellect but solely on the will for good, on the attitude towards God and thus the activity in love .... the striving for connection with God through good works .... Only through this can the human being reach such a high level of spiritual development that he enters a stage of light already on earth, i.e. that he attains realization .... Then the alignment with God has already taken place, and this state ensures the human being's soul's entrance into the kingdom of light at his death, into spheres where it can participate in Christ's act of salvation, where it is able to help other souls into wisdom, into light again, by teaching love and thus being active in redemption. Thus people can easily reach this degree of perfection if they only have the will to do good and establish contact with God through heartfelt prayer .... The fact that people have different faculties of perception, that they are more or less intelligent, is by no means decisive for this will for good. For the spiritual spark in the human being is awakened through love. But love is born in the heart, and it can be exceedingly active in a person whose intellectual activity is considerably behind that of another person. And even if the light, the realization of truth, does not become extraordinarily apparent during earthly life, the soul can be flooded with light upon entering the kingdom of the beyond, i.e., the realization can come to it in a flash and an abundance of knowledge can enable it to be eagerly active in love in the beyond. And therefore the concerns that a less developed intellectual thinking could impair the soul's maturing are invalid, that therefore every soul once has to be offered the opportunity to make use of advanced physical abilities in order to attain increased maturity on earth. Such souls can indeed work extremely beneficially on earth insofar as they place their extraordinary intellectual abilities at the service of their fellow human being in order to impart spiritual knowledge to him and thereby stimulate him into increased activity of love. But a person can also develop love to the highest degree without any special stimulation, and this person will undoubtedly reach the highest level of maturity. But his thinking can be completely uncomplicated, it need not reveal higher wisdom, and yet his thinking and actions are guided by good spiritual forces which consider him according to his perceptive faculty and constantly impel him to increase his activity of love in order to achieve his union with God. For love is the first thing, wisdom is only born from it, and this wisdom is the soul's share as soon as it enters the spiritual kingdom. But love can fully develop a unique embodiment on earth, because love can be practiced in every situation of life, in every fate of life, in every physical and spiritual condition, because this only requires that the divine spark in the human being is ignited and kindled into the highest flame, and this can be done by the most primitive human being in thought if only he has the will to be good. But the knowledge of good and evil is in him because both forces, good and evil, fight for his soul and thus his thinking is influenced by both spiritual forces and the forces to which his free will turns bear the victory over him. But how his will decides depends to a certain extent on his faith, on his attitude towards God and Christ's act of salvation, as soon as he has knowledge of it. Jesus Christ died on the cross for the weak who were not able of themselves to muster the will for good. But no one thins himself to be strong .... Although he has high spiritual abilities he nevertheless requires the grace of the act of salvation, the strong will purchased by Jesus Christ, in order to be able to mature into a being of light during his earthly life .... And for this reason Jesus Christ created the compensation, so that all who are of good will can become blessed ....

(13.8.1944) Humanity is indeed very backward in its spiritual development and pays no attention to any possibilities of progress. This is an unmistakable process of development which, however, has its cause in the human being's free will and for which he also has to answer. Consequently, man cannot expect any benefit for something that has occurred through his own fault. But it would be a benefit if he could make up for the development he missed or neglected through his own fault in a renewed embodiment on earth. For he did not use his free will in the right way, but he was capable of doing so in every situation of life due to Christ's act of salvation, Who broke His adversary's supremacy over people's will through His death on the cross. Therefore, there is no justification for an imperfect soul's repeated life on earth which could be based on divine justice, for as soon as the human being has failed despite the granting of grace he cannot claim any repetition of an embodiment on earth in order to reach the same degree of maturity which a person of good will can achieve during his life on earth, instead, he must then cover the far more difficult ascent in the beyond as just compensation for his wrong will. People certainly have different realizations, different knowledge and different earthly abilities, and this often leads them to the erroneous opinion that the maturing of the soul takes place according to these abilities. But then it is disregarded that only the activity of love is decisive, thus only the activity of love promotes the upward development. But love can be practiced by every human being, because only the human being's will is necessary for this, it is an instinct of the heart, which is in no way connected with (dependent on?) a certain degree of knowledge or a particularly developed intellectual activity. That the cooling of love understandably also results in reduced knowledge is indisputable, and therefore the dark spiritual state also appears particularly, because it is the consequence of unkindness, for which the soul therefore has to answer ....

(8/14/1944) Higher development can only be spoken of when the soul has united with the spirit, when it therefore practices love and thereby awakens the spiritual spark in itself to life, which now remains in constant activity, i.e. stimulates the soul to everlasting loving activity. Consequently, without love activity a standstill of development or even a decline in the case of obvious lack of love is to be recorded. However, the same measure of grace is available to every human being and the same opportunities are given to him for the maturing of the soul. If he does not make use of them and does not take advantage of the graces because they cannot take effect in him, he must also accept the consequences according to divine justice, i.e. he must himself deal with the state in the beyond into which he has fallen through his own fault, i.e. deservedly .... It would then be an injustice, so to speak, if he, who has not utilized the great grace of embodiment for the salvation of his soul, were offered the same opportunity again to make up for what he has neglected .... This would be an injustice to those who made full use of their earthly life by disregarding their body, by renouncing and constantly abstaining from the pleasures of the world. Deeper knowledge is not absolutely necessary but loving activity is, and therefore even the most ignorant person can develop upwards if only he is lovingly active, for knowledge will then come to him as soon as he needs it for his fellow human beings or he enters the spiritual kingdom. For then he will be able to delight the souls in the beyond with his knowledge, which will then be imparted to him in a flash, so that he can work in love again as a bearer of light in the spiritual kingdom ....

Amen

Retrogression never will of God .... re-embodiment .... reverse process .... new banishment .... light beings ....

B.D. 4913 from June 11th 1950, taken from Book No. 55

A reversed process now takes place, certainly initiated by My will but determined by human will itself. It can be regarded as an act of retrogression when spiritual substances already embodied as human beings are bound in solid matter again, thus as an act brought about by My will, since I only favour progressive development according to My eternal order. Yet this act also has to demonstrate the same principle which is based on My order .... For the spiritual has already fallen into the abyss through human will, from which I guide it again on a slow path upwards. Hence a retrogression has taken place, not through My will but through human will, whereas My will enables the ascending development again and thus a new healing process now begins after the end of this earth, a healing process which is unspeakably painful and seems to have no end and yet is the only means to help the fallen up again. Therefore, what My work of redemption has not accomplished, this process must achieve: what was easily possible must, because it was not striven for, be achieved with extreme difficulty .... the redemption from form, the liberation of the spiritual and awakening from night to light. I made it easy for people through My death on the cross, but people did not accept My gift of grace, I took the suffering upon My shoulders, but they rejected My help, and therefore they have to take it upon themselves and bear it for an infinitely long time. They were already high up and plunged themselves low down .... And My love and mercy now creates new opportunities for them to reach the height again. The process of upward development has taken place backwards again at a tremendous speed; after all previous stages of development man has gone back in free will in the short time on earth and arrived again where he was an inconceivably long time ago .... with matter, which he strives for with all his senses and which will therefore also be his lot. Yet it must always be made clear that this decline was never caused by My will but by human will itself, and that only My will will now intervene by putting a stop to it and assigning a serving purpose to the solid matter which shelters this fallen spiritual substance, so that the spiritual substance will ascend again step by step, yet in bound will, because it would not be possible otherwise. And thus My will is expressed again, and thus also that only an ascent development is favoured by Me, but every retrogression is caused by human will. Hence it is absurd to think that something which has already matured experiences a retrogression through My will .... that a being which has already liberated itself from the material cover and entered spiritual spheres receives a physical cover again through My will which at the same time takes away the being's retroconsciousness and it has to pass a test of will again .... which it had therefore already passed once but could now just as well fail in free will. For the purpose of ascent development such a soul, which has already passed the test of will, does not need a new embodiment as a human being, since there are many opportunities in the spiritual kingdom to become increasingly more perfect. But if a soul has not passed the test of will then it will be even less transferred back to earth, because this transfer back would then have to take place through My will but would now be an act against My eternal order, because only constant progress is favoured by Me but not standstill or regression. If, on the other hand, the act of embodiment of a soul on earth is permitted by My will, then it is not intended to achieve a missed degree of maturity but merely to fulfil a mission for humanity's spiritual adversity, which can certainly result in a higher degree of maturity for the being but is not the reason for it. Souls which embody themselves on earth can certainly already have a certain degree of maturity if they come from other stars in order to reach the highest maturity on earth. But for these souls it does not mean a transfer back to an already overcome stage, which would be the case, however, if a soul from the spiritual kingdom, which had already once been an inhabitant of earth, were to be transferred back to earth again for the purpose of ascent development. Moreover, it could not be a blessing for such a soul, since its recollection would be taken away from it and thus it would not be able to use the knowledge it had gained earlier but would have to decide of its own free will just like the first time, which, however, could also lead to a complete fall downwards. Anyone who strives upwards will also find enough opportunity in the spiritual kingdom to reach the heights .... anyone who strives towards earth is still under its spell and will never be moved back by Me. However, anyone who is in the light and wants to descend to earth out of love for the unredeemed will be allowed this re-embodiment, but it can never ever result in a descent into the abyss, because the soul comes from above and, despite ignorance of its origin, possesses enough strength to resist all temptations on earth. For I will never ever let a being of light fall. It will always fulfil its mission, even though it always acts and lives on earth in free will. But its will is and remains turned towards Me, because it also has love within itself which recognizes Me and eternally no longer wants to lose Me. And thus what wants to ascend will be eternally supported by Me .... what desires the depth will not be hindered by Me. But My fundamental principle is always upward development, which will also always be recognized by those who strive upwards. What therefore leads upwards is My will, but every decline is the human being's will which is not touched by Me in its freedom ....

Amen

Reincarnation .... heresy .... childhood of God ....

B.D. 5188 from August 13th 1951, taken from Book No. 58

You will always distance yourselves from the truth as soon as you loosen the bond with Me and only think with your worldly mind, which cannot recognize the spiritual truth. For the intellect always wants to give itself an explanation as it corresponds to its wishes and calculations, but the truth does not always agree with it. Although the human being's thoughts should not be switched off, he should always let the spirit within himself take precedence in spiritual questions, thus first let himself be bestowed by Me through his spirit in order to then mentally utilize the gifts. I always want to give you a bright light, but you yourselves must not put a wall in front of it through which the light can no longer penetrate. And you erect a wall yourselves as soon as you become mentally active in a direction which suits you ....

You humans want to live on earth and mostly don't want to give up earthly life. And therefore your thoughts go such ways, and your dream is a multiple life, because according to divine natural law you cannot prolong it yourselves. From this field of vision your thoughts now seek the ways to fulfil this wish, and the re-embodiment teaching is welcome to you, and you assess it as truth, although it only contains a partial truth. The re-embodiment, as you imagine it because you so desire it, would be, so to speak, the repetition of a stage of development, because the human being failed on earth or did not attain the full maturity which he can very well attain .... But it must be understandable to you humans that this would only mean a constant change of residence for the soul, which would therefore inhabit the earthly kingdom and the spiritual kingdom at will. And it would be like a stagnation in the cycle of eternity, an up-and-over persistence on the same level, or, as long as free will is not switched off, it could also be a descent for the soul, because free will is always given to a person, according to which he can develop upwards or downwards. Furthermore, it must be clear to you that all celestial bodies have the same purpose to give the beings spiritual training opportunities, and that therefore the further development is not necessarily dependent on the fleshly return to earth, indeed, such a return could rather endanger the previous degree of maturity because earth still harbours too much immature spiritual substances which can exert a bad influence on the souls which failed in earthly life and therefore demanded a new return. A soul desiring to return to earth will indeed be granted its wish because its will is also free in the kingdom of the beyond and therefore determines its state of soul, however, you humans will then no longer have the desire for earth as it prevails with you now, you will no longer want to put on the heavy earthly body, Instead, once you have attained even the slightest realization in the spiritual kingdom, you will already be so familiar with the sphere surrounding you that you will make use of it as much as possible and thereby be able to attain a far higher degree of maturity with certainty than you would achieve by going back to earth. I can only tell you the same again and again: You have allowed error to creep into the spiritual knowledge which was offered to you as truth by Me through your own thinking, you have generalized individual cases .... which is why the doctrine of re-embodiment cannot be completely rejected, yet in the way you presented it to Me it has developed into a misguided teaching which I will correct again and again so that you don't get lost in an assumption which endangers your ascent development here on earth, which makes you lukewarm and negligent in your work on yourselves. The cases of a soul's transfer back to earth are so rare and always particularly well-founded, yet it is wrong to want to make fixed doctrines out of these facts, which only confuse people's thinking and make the sole truth appear doubtful .... You humans can achieve an inconceivable amount on earth, you can attain the highest degree of maturity, the childship to God, during one earthly life, for this I Myself died on the cross as the human being Jesus .... And My will is always made known to you through My word, and an immeasurable treasure of grace is constantly at your disposal .... But anyone who does not take notice of all this and does not strive for spiritual maturity will also irrevocably have to bear the consequences in the spiritual kingdom, yet through My immense love and mercy he will still be able to ascend if it is his will, for I truly have many schoolhouses in My universe where you can still make up for much but never ever reach the degree of childship to God which makes you My heirs, but which you can only attain on earth ....

Re-incarnation for special reasons ....

B.D. 8000 from September 23rd 1961, taken from Book No. 84

Every once fallen original spirit must attain perfection of its own free will. And this requires an infinitely long time of development from the deepest abyss to the pinnacle. This process of development needs My constant help, since the entity has no strength whatsoever and is so weak at first that My strength must be of assistance in order to make this higher development possible. I always had to convey sufficient strength to the fallen beings so that they were able to accomplish the task allocated to them .... They had to be able to fulfil a helpful activity, and thus the development of the spiritual substances irrevocably progressed. Time and again I have explained to you the reason why this helpful activity had to be performed and that it required an incredibly long period of time until the fallen original entity was allowed to embody itself as a human being .... However, in this final human stage the original entity has free will, which can achieve the final perfection but also cause a renewed fall into the abyss. Thus free will can strive to achieve the complete release from the form, in which case the human being will also receive the strength to accomplish the work of attaining perfection. Then he will enter into eternity as a fully enlightened spirit, he will come into My kingdom of light and beatitude and continue to progress ever more, because the degree of perfection knows no limitation since the striving for Me will never end and yet is incredibly blissful .... If the human being fails his final test of will on earth, his earthly existence will nevertheless come to an end when his body dies .... he will enter the kingdom of the beyond but not be admitted into the spheres of light. He will remain in darkness or in twilight, depending on the soul's degree of maturity, but always corresponding to the way of life the human being had lived on earth. And thus the soul will have to accept the consequences .... It cannot be granted beatitude because the law of eternal order also demands justice.

Souls which completely lack light usually still move within the spheres of earth, often they are still earthbound, so that they cling to people and try to make them behave according to their will and their attitudes and thereby frequently push the real essence of the person .... his soul .... into the background, thus they take possession of the body and then effectively live a second life on earth without being entitled to it .... and the actual soul of the person is not strong enough to prevail and expel this evil spirit. The person is bothered by afflictions and all kinds of pain caused by the evil spirit until the soul succeeds in establishing a strong bond with Me which then will enable Me to dispel the evil spirit, so that it subsequently will realise that it no longer lives on earth .... To allow such earthbound souls a return to earth again would only result in certain renewed failure, since these souls would return to earth without past memory and yet in possession of free will again .... Hence you humans must never believe in such re-incarnations .... Neither must you believe in the soul's return to earth for the purpose of achieving perfection if it previously failed on earth or had not achieved the degree of perfection required and which it believes it can attain now. Consider that I place an unlimited measure of grace at your disposal .... also consider that I accomplished the act of Salvation for you, that it is possible for every soul to depart from this earth in a redeemed state and that such a soul truly will still be able to ascend in the beyond and become inconceivably happy .... Admittedly, the free will of every soul will also be respected in the spiritual realm and if the soul wants to return to earth its desire will be granted .... But it runs the great risk that it might also descend into the abyss, since in earthly life free will is decisive again. However, a soul which can show only a tiny glimmer of light will recognise the opportunities of achieving maturity in the beyond and will refuse to enter a body of flesh again .... And a completely lightless soul will never be allowed to return to earth, for it first has to provide evidence of its change of mind, and then it will no longer be willing to live on earth.

Nevertheless, during the last days cases of re-incarnation will be allowed, but they happen for special reasons: first of all, beings of light will come to earth for the purpose of a mission because of the immense spiritual adversity .... but their embodiment should not make people believe that every soul will return to earth for the sake of attaining higher maturity .... Yet some souls also exist which .... once a tiny glimmer of realisation dawns on them .... recognise their immense sin they had burdened themselves with during their life on earth .... These are individual cases which require much atonement, which certainly could also be removed in the beyond but which impel these souls to sincerely ask for permission to redeem this guilt on earth .... and which are willing to fulfil a helpful mission at the same time .... But such cases must never be generalised, since this would be a serious deception which can only result in disaster for people. And these souls will also have to endure unusual destinies of suffering which might often make their fellow human beings doubt My love but which have their explanation in the considerable guilt of these souls, which is the real reason of their earthly life. Profound and living faith in Jesus Christ and His act of Salvation guarantees that all guilt has been redeemed through His blood .... But these souls had not found redemption through Jesus Christ in their earthly life and therefore brought it over into the spiritual kingdom. Yet the soul must have achieved a certain degree of light already to be allowed to live on earth again .... it must have found the path to Jesus Christ in the afterlife, it must have appealed for forgiveness of this guilt and then have decided of its own free will to accomplish this act of atonement and have asked for My permission .... otherwise its return to earth will not be granted.

I always say that the doctrine of re-incarnation is a misguided teaching if it is applied to all people who departed from this earth in an imperfect state. And I have always mentioned special reasons which justify such re-incarnation. Not to have accepted or utilised the grace of My love is a repeated sin against My love, and you cannot brush this sin aside as you please with a repeated return to earth .... You have the opportunity to cleanse yourselves from all guilt through Jesus' blood while you live on earth .... And My love for you really will not leave any stone unturned in order to help you attain perfection. And this love should not be rejected by you otherwise you will meet with a painful fate in the beyond, as My justice demands, even if My love for you is greater than great, and even then I will still help you to reach the light one day. For My love can only be effective within the scope of divine order ....

Amen

Constant attacks by the enemy .... Light bearers .... Reincarnation ....

B.D. 8288 from October 1st 1962, taken from Book No. 87

You should not be frightened when you are attacked by those who use My adversary to invalidate the pure truth which I convey to you from above. You will always be permeated by My strength and be able to resist all his attacks, for you work for Me and on My behalf. My power is truly so strong that I can push everything away from you, that I will not let the work of My love for you humans be endangered. It is certainly true that in the end time people will be offered much as alleged truth and that it will be difficult to find one's way through and to recognize what is right .... Yet it is never impossible because I always assure you of My support if you desire to know the truth. You will ask why I allow all this, why I don't prevent My adversary from exerting his influence on people who apparently also only want the best .... It concerns the human being's free will which My adversary seeks to win over for himself, and I have to grant him the right because his followers once followed him in free will and he has the same right to fight for the souls but the decision solely depends on the human being's will. Thus the adversary seeks to keep people in the darkness into which he had once plunged them .... He seeks to prevent everything that could give them a light in which they could recognize Me Myself and then turn to Me again of their own free will. But light is truth, thus he leaves no stone unturned in order to undermine the truth from Me, and he will always try his hand at the bearers of light, at My messengers, and want to extinguish the light .... And he uses the most shameful means to do so .... Yet he is completely powerless as soon as his activity is opposed by Jesus Christ's act of salvation, as soon as the divine redeemer Jesus Christ Himself is approached for protection from him. Then all his efforts are in vain .... Therefore one thing is necessary: that you know about the great significance of the act of salvation of the man Jesus, in Whose shell the 'eternal love' Himself was concealed. It is necessary to know about My incarnation in Jesus .... about Jesus' becoming one with Me, His God and father from eternity .... then he also knows about God's 'plan of salvation' .... He knows about the connection of everything created with Me, its creator, and he knows about the path of every fallen original spirit through the whole of creation and about the path of return to Me .... And anyone who knows all this also knows the further course of development after his earthly life in the kingdom on the other side and the endless possibilities to help a still unredeemed being that has entered the spiritual kingdom to redeem itself and also to walk the path of higher development .... He also knows that the being can still sink into the abyss and which means I use in order to once again open up the possibility for this repeatedly fallen being to pass the last test of will on earth .... by dissolving and banishing it again in the creations of earth .... To him it is understandable why all this has to be so if My law of eternal order is to be observed .... And whoever therefore stands in this knowledge will also reject all teaching which contradicts this plan of eternity .... which betrays all too human thinking which, influenced by My adversary, corresponds to their own desires .... For countless demons from the spirit world work on his behalf who try to transfer themselves and their thoughts to people who allow such activity in themselves. For you must never forget that it is only ever a matter of invalidating My 'working of love', and My eternal plan of salvation is based on love and designed by My wisdom, and it will be carried out in accordance with My eternal decision because I recognized the path by which the spiritual substance which has become apostate will find its way back to Me. I Myself descended to earth in order to accomplish the act of salvation for this fallen spiritual being, and redemption is assured to every being which recognizes and acknowledges Me in Jesus and asks for forgiveness of its guilt of sin .... And thus it is truly not necessary for people to atone for this guilt through repeated earthly life as a human being, for a thousand earthly lives would not suffice to get rid of the original guilt, for this guilt can only be redeemed through Jesus Christ Himself .... But the sins which the human being additionally commits in earthly life are simultaneously redeemed through His crucifixion .... Yet burdened with the smallest guilt, thus without Jesus Christ's forgiveness, no being, no human soul, can enter the kingdom of light. And for these souls, which thus pass over into the kingdom of the beyond burdened, the darkness in which they dwell is torment enough to cause them to change their will and thinking, to go into themselves and also accept the help of spiritual friends .... And now the soul can also still reach ascent. But to transfer a soul back to earth again in such a state would definitely mean no service for this soul, for it would be in the same darkness and would also not take a different path on earth than it had taken so far, because My adversary has retained the same power over this soul, from which it can never escape itself. The soul can only attain realization through love .... If it only feels a spark of love for its fellow suffering souls in the kingdom of the beyond, it will also inevitably ascend .... But if it remains devoid of all love it belongs to My adversary and he will never release the soul. And if it then goes through an exceedingly hard school of life it will nevertheless never be improved by it or attain anything other than evil thinking, for it first has to be released from the adversary's control, which again can only happen through Jesus Christ .... Only when He Himself enters a person's life is his redemption assured .... for which truly one earthly life can suffice .... And if it is therefore not enough, the human being or his soul alone will also have to answer for this and now also have to take upon himself the fate of darkness, which is so agonising and surpasses even the most difficult earthly walk in torment. In My plan of salvation from eternity all possibilities are foreseen which help a fallen soul to ascend. But My law of order will always be observed, and I truly don't need to resort to means which would remain unused, because even a return to an already overcome state would offer no guarantee for a soul's ascent and therefore can never be My will either, for free will remains untouched and the recollection cannot be given to a soul precisely because of its free will. The man Jesus died on the cross for its weakness, and He acquired for you the blessings of a strengthened will which you can all use during your earthly life and then your redemption is also assured .... You have to atone for your guilt on earth during one earthly life, then you will pass over into the kingdom of the beyond with relief and no longer resist the help of your spiritual friends there either .... which is why you often have to endure a difficult earthly life but through it you can attain a high degree of maturity and increased receptivity to light .... And again I tell you: Individual cases of the re-embodiment of a soul on earth have their special reason but will never take place if the redemption through Jesus Christ has not preceded it. And through this redemption all guilt is redeemed and thus need not be redeemed again in earthly life .... And every earthly life is determined by Me in wisdom and love .... even if you are unable to recognize it .... but I know what serves each individual soul for its perfection ....

Amen

Answer to question about re-embodiment ....

B.D. 8648 from October 18th 1963, taken from Book No. 91

As long as you humans live on earth you are still imperfect, and this also means that your knowledge is still subject to limitations, that you cannot grasp everything .... Nevertheless, I instruct you according to your degree of maturity, and it is therefore up to you yourselves to increase your knowledge by increasing your degree of love, which will always be the measure of your maturity of soul. If you are full of love then you will also be able to see through everything clearly .... If you lack love then you will also lack understanding, even if you receive fullest enlightenment. For knowledge only then becomes realization when the spirit in you is awakened through love. But My direct address from above is to contribute to it that your will to love is strengthened, that you are to learn to recognize Me intellectually and then also love is ignited in you to Him, Who has created you .... And that is why I will also always fulfil your request to send you enlightenment so that you are able to recognize Me as loving father and return My love towards you with counter love. My plan of return is not unknown to you, and so you also know about it that every soul once has to start the course over earth, which then is the last stretch of way before the return into the kingdom on the other side. You also know that this walk on earth results in different success with different men and that this is the result of the free will of My creatures, which I will never touch because it is the characteristic of a divine creature. You further know that for this life as man a little spark of love is given to you, which only makes the change back to your original being possible for you, when you ignite this little spark of love in you and let it flare up to a bright flame. When a soul has covered the course through earth creation in bound will, that it has now reached the degree of maturity, which is the prerequisite for embodiment as man, then also the divine spark of love is associated with it, no matter where and in which stage of culture it comes into the world. And man himself has it in his hand to nourish this love spark or to completely stifle it in himself. The greater his inner resistance to the good, the divine, the more he will lag behind in his spiritual maturity. But the feeling for good and evil is present in every man, because he .... as I have often explained .... the execution of good and evil in himself and because he also has the silent admonisher, the voice of conscience, within himself. That he also can lack the concept in which measure he is to listen to the inner voice towards fellowmen is possible because his inner resistance against Me is still so strong and he therefore stands under the power of My opponent. And then his earth walk can hardly earn him the last maturity, and he will have to repeat it. But now the assumption of you men is wrong that he can return again to earth at will out of the kingdom on the other side and that it repeats itself so often until he once has reached the necessary maturity. For even in the kingdom of the beyond the soul will have the opportunity to develop upwards if it gives up its inner resistance .... But it can sink just as deeply into darkness, and endless times can pass if it does not accept the help offered to it to redeem it from hell .... Then it will be hardened more and more, and it will again have to pass through the passage of earth-creation .... And this can repeat itself more than once, and depending on how its inner resistance subsides, the embodiment as man will now also take place in such life situations where there is the most prospect to mature in an earth life. You all forget the many schooling stations which are ready in My creation for the reception of souls of all degrees of maturity .... When you are told that the soul of man enters the kingdom of the beyond, you do not yet quite understand what is to be understood by the latter: Everything outside of earthly life is "beyond." .... And all celestial bodies harbour spiritual substances in the most diverse degrees of development, where every soul can truly continue its course of development if it does not persist in its resistance so stubbornly that it does its mischief in uncreated spaces to its own torment. Also then it can once again come to its senses because My love and mercy gives up no soul and always gives every soul the possibility to come to a gleam of light and to carry out the change in itself by it giving up its resistance for the first time and being accessible to the instructions, which are also granted to it in the kingdom on the other side. And I truly also know the spiritual constitution of every soul; I also know about the maturing possibilities which are beneficial to every individual soul and which promise success .... But I never see these in a renewed earth course as man, in a transferring back of the soul to earth, if there are not very special reasons, which again only aim at the rescue of weak souls. I am not an unjust God, Who considers His creatures differently out of a whim and therefore not every man is offered the same possibilities. But time does not play a role with Me either .... I reach My aim .... However, I would never reach this aim through ever-repeated testimony as a human being on this earth, because there is one thing I cannot do out of My will: to force the human being's will so that he makes the right decision .... to induce the human being to have a rightly directed will through My power. His free will can fail again and again and the earth walk be in vain. Every soul lives its own life, and I know exactly about the successes, which it still can achieve, because I know its will. And accordingly I can and will shorten or lengthen the earth life of man .... I will call off prematurely where a relapse is to be feared, so as not to endanger the degree of maturity already reached, and I will give a high age to those where an increase of the degree of maturity or still a turning back to Me is evident, to make the course of development in the hereafter possible for the latter souls. But do not believe that the respective human state of culture has an influence on the development of the soul .... because a life of love is not dependent on outer things or on increased earthly knowledge, because it is at all times and everywhere about the ignition of the love spark in the heart, which however is independent of culture and custom, because it is a pure spiritual process in man when he ignites this love spark in him, and for this always the living together with other men and the divine creation surrounding him can stimulate him. Thus even the most primitive person will be able to increase his soul's maturity, especially if he is also given the knowledge of the divine redeemer Jesus Christ, which can still be imparted to him in the beyond if the soul is only of good will ...._>Amen

Incarnation and reincarnation of light beings for the purpose of mission

Incarnation of many light souls during the last days ....

B.D. 4803 from December 24th 1949, taken from Book No. 54

The earthly world also helps the beings of light to reach perfection. For it offers the most opportunities for attaining childship to God, which even a being of light can only achieve by means of living in the flesh on this earth. In that case, however, their life on earth as a human being does not require the higher development in a state of compulsion, instead the enlightened soul can directly engender itself in the flesh in order to then pass its decision of free will, for which it will often be sorely tested. Time and again beings of light will descend to Earth, and many such incarnations will be especially granted during the last days before the end, since precisely this difficult lifetime on earth guarantees the highest degree of maturity, whereas erring people will also require spiritual leaders, which only people embodied by beings of light can become. Jesus Christ, too, was such a soul of light which accepted a great and sacred mission that made greatest demands on a human being's will. His soul was certainly perfect when it entered this earth; nevertheless, this degree of light had no influence on the earthly life of Jesus the man, or it would have devalued His mission, the redemption of humanity. The conditions placed upon the human being as such were extremely difficult .... Like every other human being he had to overcome the body's wishes and cravings, which were extremely strongly developed in Him and thus required extreme self-control and abstinence. His soul had to resist immense temptations, as a human being Jesus had to fight a constant battle against Himself during His younger years. And therefore His love, gentleness and patience had to be valued far more than those of a gentle and passionless person who does not need to overcome anything because little or nothing attracts him. The soul of light knew its mission from the start and travelled its earthly path when humanity's hardship necessitated it ....

Thus Jesus came into the world at a time when people's carnal sensuality had become rife and people needed to be given an example that and how it would be possible to exercise control over their carnal desires. Everything, even the most difficult, is possible with the strength of love .... Nothing exists which a human being who lives a life of love cannot overcome. Love itself is strength and thus can shape the free will to become incredibly strong so that everything is possible for a person. If, therefore, an extraordinary number of light beings are incarnated on earth during the time of the end, then they will all be given a mission which requires love and willpower. However, all these souls have the same in common: to spread the divine Word amongst people. For knowledgeable souls open up the knowledge to them on earth again, that is, it is brought back into their memory again, and they feel urged to pass the knowledge on to their fellow human beings who live in spiritual darkness. And thus the characteristic of those from above rests in the fact that they eagerly participate in the distribution of the divine Word, but, please note .... of the Word which has originated from the spiritual kingdom .... The teaching of love which Jesus Christ proclaimed on Earth was God's Word spoken through Jesus and will remain it for all eternity. And this teaching of love should and must always be mentioned where a person wants to stand up for God. Thus embodied souls of light only find earthly happiness by spreading this divine teaching of love, and they are God's true representatives on earth. Whatever is taught outside of this teaching is human work. No-one who supports this originates from the kingdom of light, instead his home is in the realm of darkness. And the souls of light will always desire to take action against such teachings which, in the last days, will happen very often ....

Law of the eternal order .... embodied light beings ....

B.D. 7391 from August 18th 1959, taken from Book No. 78

A law has been given to you that you should move in divine order during your earthly life .... If you comply with this law then eternal beatitude is also guaranteed to you, then you will end your earthly life as divinely shaped beings, for to comply with the divine order means nothing else than to shape the being into love, which is the sign of divinity, thus creating beings which are equal to God. This was God's aim in the creation of His beings, which certainly emerged from Him in highest perfection but nevertheless first had to acquire the highest degree of perfection .... which had to shape themselves into gods if they were to reach the aim which God had set for everything created by Him. For one thing was necessary for the beings to be able to use their free will which could just as well strive for the opposite, which could tempt them to fall into the deepest depths, which is what happened to a large part of the created original spirits. They had to have complete freedom as to where they directed their will .... The fact that they directed it wrongly does not make it impossible to reach the last aim, the divinisation of the being. But then the highest degree of perfection has been reached by the being itself. The highest angelic beings have not yet reached this degree of perfection, although they are still as they came forth from the hand of their creator. But they still stand in dependence on God's will, which they certainly freely fulfil and thereby prove their perfection .... Nevertheless, the path through the abyss is necessary, and therefore such angelic beings also once take the path as a human being across earth for the purpose of a mission which, however, is extremely difficult and sorrowful (18.8.1959) and which will also rarely just proceed to the end like other people's earthly path but always has special characteristics, such as unusual suffering or strokes of fate which hardly seem bearable for others. However, such a walk across the earth is of utmost importance for the development of the being, for the highest degree of perfection can be reached through it, which precisely requires a walk across this earth. The souls of light admittedly no longer have a long way to go until their perfection, but nevertheless they have to walk the path unconsciously of their nature, and since they feel like every other human being they often carry an inconceivably heavy burden of their lot, which they nevertheless take upon themselves fully consciously when the earthly path is placed before their eyes before embodiment. For they know about the aim of attaining childship to God, they know about the highest degree of perfection which they must strive for and attain of their own free will because it cannot be given to them. The fact that a being fails during its earthly life is prevented by the beings of light who constantly watch over and ward off the evil forces which want to try their hand at that person. Moreover, their desire for God is particularly strong, which admittedly also results in particularly strong temptations, for that would be their greatest triumph, to bring a pure angelic spirit to fall during earthly life .... But the strength of love is likewise particularly strong in such a person, and this will be able to resist every such temptation without becoming a victim of the dark world. For he, too, will be able to draw strength from Jesus Christ and always resist, because the bond between a spirit of light and Jesus Christ does not cease even when the former, embodied as a human being, has put on the earthly garment. The soul is strong and maintains the bond with Him, Who likewise walked across the earth in order to reach the final aim of deification .... And this bond protects him from the depth, which would certainly be possible without Jesus Christ and His strength, because the temptations are also exceedingly strong which the prince of the underworld prepares for such an embodied soul. But all his efforts are in vain, for Jesus Christ will not allow a brother from the kingdom of light to fall into his hands. And for the most part the earthly course will end with the highest aim, the union with God, and only in rare cases can a delay occur but still not reduce the abundance of light which such a soul brings with it to earth at the beginning. But then the soul is free at any time to repeat its earthly progress once more, yet this will only ever happen for the purpose of a mission, and an abundance of suffering will always be its fate on earth ....

Amen

Reincarnation of the disciples of Jesus and John the forerunner of Jesus

Embodied beings of light .... Jesus' disciples during His time on earth ....

B.D. 7080 from April 1st 1958, taken from Book No. 75

You, too, belong to those who, as My true disciples, shall proclaim the Gospel of love in the last days, who gathered around Me while I lived on earth and to whom I gave the promise that they will be permitted to serve Me at the time of My return. Only when you hear these Words will you understand the importance of the mission I assign to you .... I can only use people who are enthusiastically committed to their work in their willingness to be of service and love for Me. Such conscientiousness can no longer be found among people of this earth .... thus I had to send you to earth but I could not let you keep the recollection of your past activity. You must travel the earthly path like all other people, in awareness of your human weaknesses and struggling for a strong faith .... However, My spirit can work through you ....

You are able to receive the truth from above and understand it .... and therefore you can also spread it throughout the world, as was your task in the past. I Am giving you this hint of your origin because you shall realise from this that you will only administer that office for a short time which you also administer in the spiritual kingdom, and that this office is an extremely significant one, for what I previously started .... to pave the path back into the Father's house .... you shall once again firmly impress upon people and also show them the way before the end arrives, before a period of a completely new order follows. You have always been willing to inform people of Me and My act of Salvation on My behalf. But during the last days before the end it is particularly necessary for people to remember Me, for I alone Am their salvation, I alone can pull them back from the abyss that they are approaching in their blindness .... However, they must acknowledge Me, just as they did when I lived on earth they must call to Me 'Lord, help Me ....' But people walk along without knowledge, for whatever they know about Me and My act of Salvation is merely a myth for them .... For this reason you must proclaim Me in the world with utter conviction. And since you, as human beings, are no different, even though you have come from the kingdom of light, you must first receive through My spirit the true knowledge about Me and My act of Salvation so that you will be able to stand up for Me with conviction ....

Your soul allows for the working of the spirit in you .... a process which is only rarely demonstrated by present-day people and who therefore also find it difficult to believe in. And because your task is so important I have educated you again as in the past .... i.e. your human nature had to accept heavenly wisdom first in order to be subsequently able to preach among humanity again, as you did in the past. In those days the number of My disciples was large and many offered themselves to take this path across earth in the last days before the end in view of the immense spiritual adversity which urgently requires help .... But every light soul on earth also had to voluntarily acquire the degree of love again which allows for the 'working of the spirit' .... This person's struggle is no less strenuous than that of any other person, it is just that the soul will always have the will and the connection with Me and therefore live a life of love, which then will also guarantee the working of the spirit. This makes it possible to convey My Word to earth again, I Myself will once again be able to preach the Gospel of love to everyone who will not close his ears and heart .... You have become My forerunners again, you only carry My Gospel throughout the world, you do not speak your own words but allow Me Myself to speak through you, just as it was your mission after My ascension when you became receiving vessels for Me Myself which enabled Me Myself to be with you in spirit. And so I will always be present to people until the end of the world .... For without Me no-one will attain beatitude, without Me the path into the Father's house cannot be found, without Me humanity will live in guilt and sin and you will take the downward path. Yet My Own will eagerly participate in the redemptive work, My Own will place themselves at My disposal wherever I will need them .... And all those of you who want to serve Me belong to My Own and will indeed be able to accomplish your work successfully, for you will only ever work on My behalf .... and if the Lord assigns an office to you, He will also give you the strength to administer it .... He Himself will be with you with His strength and His blessing and, once your mission is over, will fetch you again into His kingdom ....

Amen

Incarnation of beings of light .... Forerunner ....

B.D. 4899 from May 19th 1950, taken from Book No. 55

I repeatedly convey the Gospel to earth, and as you receive it from above it is pure and uncorrupted by human will. I know that this is necessary since untold people are no longer able to find Me because they are no longer taught the truth. Therefore I have embodied Myself in the spirit of those who want to serve Me. The fact that they now receive the truth in its purest form is a necessity which was long recognised by My love and wisdom, which in itself prompts Me to protect the recipient of truth from above against the influence of impure spirits, which want to confuse his thoughts and prevent the truth from being conveyed to him. Therefore, anyone who receives the Gospel which I Myself taught on earth and which My servants on earth are once again instructed to spread, can rest assured that he has the truth, that he, as My apostle in the last days, may instruct his fellow human beings without fear that error could enter his teaching. And in this knowledge he should approach all those who cross his path. He should consider himself as My representative and always stand up on My behalf of what he has received from Me Myself, and which will express itself as an inner feeling because it is pure truth.

Many beings of light are presently embodied on earth because the immense spiritual hardship requires exceptional help which can only be provided by beings of light. Such souls of light are usually spiritual leaders, i.e. due to their way of life in accordance with My will they have a close relationship with Me and thus are able to accept My instructions directly and pass them on to people. The degree of maturity of these light beings is such that a descent into the abyss is impossible, on account of which they always live in utmost humility and unselfishness and only try to bring My kingdom to people without wanting any benefit for themselves but to serve Me and to help people. It is therefore possible for a being of light, sent to earth by Me, to incarnate several times if people's spiritual low level necessitates it. But these incarnations are always in utter service to Me until the end, for My will prevails in these beings as they had already submitted themselves to Me voluntarily and cannot lose this degree of maturity on earth anymore. Inferior spirits will never be able to dominate such a soul embodied in a human being, and it will never succumb to their evil influences either. Hence, an already perfected spirit on earth will never be able to fall, that is to say, not achieve its mission .... Such a mission can merely appear in people's opinion as having been interrupted as a result of a sudden recall into the spiritual kingdom or due to adverse human actions which prematurely ended its earthly life. Yet even this is known to Me since eternity, and I do not forcefully interfere so as not to enslave people's will.

Nevertheless, the act of Salvation will be completed, and everything will come to pass as destined by My eternal plan of Salvation. Even the most perfect spirits from the heavens will temporarily embody themselves in order to achieve spiritual progress amongst people, for without such help the latter will be too weak to resist. And then the dead will rise from their graves, that is to say, those who are spiritually totally blind can be awakened and enabled to see through a bright flash of light from above .... But then it will be the time of the last days when My return can be expected, which was constantly proclaimed by seers and prophets. And prior to My coming the greatest light on earth will shine in modest apparel. Yet again it will proclaim Me as he had done before My appearance in the flesh on this earth, before I commenced My teaching of people to whom I wanted to bring the Gospel .... He was My forerunner and will be it again. You humans will recognise him by his words, after all, he will be using the same words and will testify of Me as he once did before. His spirit will return to earth in order to fulfil the law whereby he has to precede Me in complete awareness of his origin and his task. He understands everything and also knows his earthly fate, which he will not avoid as it is part of the act of Salvation, in which he will participate for love of the unredeemed. He knows that his mission is only fulfilled with his death and has no other desire but for final unification with Me, his Lord and Master, his Friend and Brother, his Father since eternity.

And once he appears the end will be near, for I will follow him shortly and fulfil My proclamations. However, My return will be the final act before the earth's total destruction and everything that lives on it .... Then comes to pass what is written. A new heaven and a new earth will arise where I will dwell in the midst of My Own, where there will only be one shepherd and one flock, because all those who live will be united with Me and allow My presence. For all children on the new earth will be My children to whom I will come Myself to bestow utmost happiness on them ....

Embodied beings of light .... Lack of past memory .... Forerunner ....

B.D. 4970 from September 20th 1950, taken from Book No. 56

Those who want to be of service to Me ought to know the following: the spiritual state of people who live in the last days requires special help by the beings of light which work on My instructions in the spiritual realm as well as on earth, where a large number of them are embodied as human beings in order to fulfil a redeeming mission. How the beings of light work and help them is clearly evident to people who accept the spiritual information given to them, because they know that people's spiritual hardship can only be remedied through the gift of My Word from above. In view of the wide-ranging spiritual decline it would be completely impossible for My Word to gain acceptance amongst humanity, because it would neither establish the connection with the spiritual world, nor would it want to or be able to accept proclamations from this world. Therefore the world of light has to take mediating actions, the beings of light must look for suitable vessels on earth into which they can pour the emanations of My spirit and thus .... where necessary .... beings of light descend to earth as human beings in order to become a link between people and the spiritual world .... in order to be mediators between Myself and people. Hence a large number of beings of light are embodied during the last days before the end, in which you humans live at present, in order to help you, given that you are deluded and ignorant, live a wrong way of life and are therefore in serious trouble.

You yourselves are unaware of the low spiritual level and its consequences, and if the knowledge is given to you, you won't believe it. Yet the world of light shelters inhabitants who look upon the activities in the darkness on earth with horror and want to rush to your aid in order to still help those who don't offer resistance and entrust themselves to their guidance. However, they are nevertheless human beings who thus want to help and inform you. This is why you don't recognise them, just as they don't recognise themselves as beings from above even though they, as human beings, sincerely strive to ascend .... They are human beings like yourselves and yet their will is directed towards Me, who cannot be harmed by My adversary anymore because they have already become My Own before they came to earth for the sake of the needy human race. They want to bring you the light they constantly receive from Me and which simultaneously is the strength to ascend. Yet neither are they aware of the fact that they voluntarily came to earth, for their efforts to ascend have to be clearly observable by their fellow human beings in order to encourage them to do the same. Were a being of light recognisable as such to people it would not be able to serve them as an example, for then people who are afflicted by all weaknesses and flaws would feel incapable of ever attaining this example. Only very special, elevated spiritual beings know of their mission and origin and also inform people of it, although they will find no credence.

But such elevated beings of light will be recognisable to anyone who wants to recognise them, for their mission always involves public and not private activity, for then not just individual people but all people shall be informed of supernatural activity, of the strength and might and glory of the One, Who is Lord over life and death and the whole of creation, Who does not want His living creations to descend into darkness and therefore sends an exceedingly bright radiating light from above .... And one such light will bear witness to Me and become a talking point. And once it shines you will know that the end is not far away, that humanity has been granted just a short reprieve, for if he is not listened to and his warning call remains unsuccessful then nothing can save the unspiritual world anymore .... then the end will have come without fail as it is proclaimed in Word and Scripture ....

Forerunner .... Knowledge about previous incarnation ....

B.D. 7604 from May 22nd 1960, taken from Book No. 80

You, who live on earth during the last days in order to be of service to Me, should not lose yourselves in assumptions as to whose spirit you embody. I have spread a veil across things which are not conducive to your earthly life and your mission. This is why the knowledge about your former incarnation on earth is withheld from you. Let it suffice you to know that I provide everyone willing to be of service to Me with great strength and grace and that, precisely because the adversary's activity during the last days is so powerful, it also requires powerful spirits of light in order to counteract and stand up to his activity where redemptive work is carried out on earth. And these spirits of light must remain profoundly humble in order to accomplish their mission, because pride, or arrogance, in particular offer the adversary the best opening for an attack and might therefore undermine this mission. And all people are in danger of falling prey to this, his very attribute and arch-evil .... For this reason such opportunities are not supported on My part, instead I only ever try to influence the human being to remain profoundly humble, because then he will also be able to resist My adversary and not get caught up in his nets of lies. And it is not helpful for a person to know about his previous incarnation .... or he would receive this knowledge the moment he starts his work for Me and My kingdom ....

But one person will know about it, it will not be concealed from him, because he has to accomplish the most demanding task in the last days: as My forerunner to announce Me, as a voice in the wilderness to proclaim My coming in the clouds and to pay for his mission for Me with his life .... This knowledge, however, will not burden him because he will be a supremely powerful spirit who consciously undertook his last embodiment on earth in recognition of the urgency of his task, which he shall be willing to accomplish out of profound love for Me. He is one of the few who seal what they proclaim with death .... He has the strength to do so because he loves Me Whom he once did not quite recognise, who indeed had to give up his life for Me once before but who is willing to die a thousand deaths on My behalf .... who therefore also travels this final earthly path in awareness of his mission and his origin. But he will only be certain of this when his final mission begins, when he .... having previously lived in utter seclusion .... steps into the limelight, when his heartfelt bond with God suddenly enlightens him about the task he has to accomplish on earth .... Then he will proclaim Me with fiery zeal, he will do whatever it takes to refer people to the end and the last Judgment; he will speak frankly and boldly against the rulers whose power he does not fear, instead he will publicly denounce them because he recognises them as emissaries of Satan, against whom he openly campaigns.

And this will be My last sign, for he will appear during the final stages, during the time of the battle of faith, which will be waged shortly before the end. Regardless of what you hear earlier .... his time of activity will not start until this battle of faith erupts, when the lights will shine brightly to point people to the path which all people shall take .... And he will be the brightest light which will shine where you least expect it .... his radiance will outshine everything and therefore also be recognisable by all who don't shun the light .... But be patient and wait until then, and don't entertain false assumptions in advance .... For you will often still be misled by My adversary who wants to divert your vision in order to stop you, who are willing to serve Me as loyal servants, from your own missionary work. Don't let yourselves be deceived .... you will very clearly recognise when the time has come where such extraordinary things will happen that I, too, will have to intervene extraordinarily in order to help My Own. For My adversary's actions will shake their faith as well if they don't firmly adhere to Me and hand everything over to Me in confidence of My right guidance. And then you shall also feel My will within your hearts, so that you no longer need to ask what you ought to do. My will shall be within you, you shall not be able to act against My will, and you will also know that your actions are merely fulfilling My will. Time and again I say to you: don't be hasty, wait until I call you, until I place My will into your heart, for your premature actions can also destroy what has been laboriously built up before.

Always bear in mind that people's faith is still too weak, that they occasionally need a lighter fare so as not to harm their souls .... And to these you should only preach My Gospel of love but not present them with teachings which they are unable to grasp. And this also includes the knowledge about the incarnation of spirits of light, because they often lack belief in the soul's continuation of life altogether. It is not always appropriate to announce the appearance of the forerunner prior to My second coming to such people, yet if they accept My Gospel of love they will also learn to believe and recognise him when he appears, because he will be preceded by grave events and a 'separation of the spirits' will then be recognisable .... people, who are either for or against Me and therefore exhibit corresponding spiritual understanding. Not much time will pass before all these Words will be understandable to you, and then you will no longer ask but know that My coming is imminent, because you will recognise the one who was My forerunner during My time on earth and who will be it again, as it is proclaimed in Word and Scripture ....

Amen

Error of repeated incarnation of Jesus

Concerning the question: Incarnation of Jesus ....

B.D. 8264 from September 5th 1962, taken from Book No. 87

My earthly mission was concluded by My death on the cross, by My ascension to heaven .... The complete deification of My soul, which had once come forth from the Father’s love as a created being, had occurred. This should be achieved by every original spirit some day in order to be able to work and create with the Father, completely perfected in His image .... Additionally, however, My original soul had the particular task to enable the Father .... the Eternal love Itself .... to manifest Himself on earth as a human being, i.e. the ‘Eternal love’ manifested Itself in My external cover of the man Jesus, and thus the Father became a visible God to all His formerly created beings who have achieved that particular degree of perfection which results in spiritual vision.

The human manifestation of God in Jesus is such a momentous problem that you will not be able to comprehend it while you are still on earth .... It was and is an act which is closely connected with the beings’ apostasy from their God and Creator .... But one thing is certain: My Jesus-soul is so closely united with the Father that He and I are one and that I cannot be considered to be separate from the Father any longer, and that I always Am and will be the visible God in all eternity .... I can indeed descend to earth again in My Divinity, thus I can appear as Jesus to any person who is most intimately connected with Me so that he can recognise Me as his Saviour and Redeemer, but only for a brief time in a visible state when certain events justify such appearances .... Because I have promised you My presence and can also prove this presence visibly .... And similarly will I appear at the end in the clouds, i.e. undeniably in My strength and glory but veiled, because even My Own cannot bear to see Me in the brightest light ....

But for My Jesus-soul to incarnate again or to have incarnated on this earth as a human being after My crucifixion is impossible, because it is completely merged with the Father’s Eternal spirit and because an incarnation of the Jesus-soul would be synonymous with an incarnation of God in a human being .... Every person should indeed form a union with God by means of love, and this is every human being’s last goal, but this is not an incarnation of My Jesus-soul, as you would understand it, in the sense that Jesus will live on earth again as human being. My Jesus-soul is and remains eternally unified with God and reigns and works in the spiritual kingdom, in the kingdom of light, visible to all beings of light from face to face. A conception in the flesh would therefore be a repeated human manifestation of God, for which there is no justification ....

Eminent and exalted beings of light will time and again descend to earth for the purpose of a mission, who want to achieve the last degree of their perfection by taking the test of volition on this earth .... And these persons can also be usually recognised by their remarkable deeds and a remarkably difficult earthly life. Hence you need to exercise great caution when you hear about an incarnation of Jesus, because although eminent and exalted beings of light incarnate on this earth they themselves will be without all knowledge of their origin, apart from the one who will announce My coming .... He will know who he is when the time has come to start his mission on earth. But you will often be deceived by My adversary’s actions if you assume this or that embodiment in a person .... even when he lives his life in total accordance with My will. Because the knowledge of his incarnated spirit does not help your perfection and can only ever lead to wrong conclusions. It cannot ever result in your spiritual advantage because you would still be subject to a certain amount of compulsory faith, whereas you should make your choice during your earthly life in complete freedom ....

Amen

Was Jesus' soul already incarnated before God's human manifestation? ....

B.D. 8750 from February 11th 1964, taken from Book No. 92

Time after time I want to reveal My love for you by introducing you to knowledge which will make you very happy, because like a bright light it will unveil things to you which previously were obscured by darkness .... and because your degree of awareness will be raised again, which also signifies a maturing of the soul. For love always will and has to be the foundation for the conveyance of My Word, I could not address you if a certain degree of love were not present, and thus this love will let the light of realisation shine ever more brightly within you. You are still occupied by questions which only I Am able to answer, because only I know the regions you wish to understand better:

All elevated, previously not-fallen spirits also incarnate on earth in order to take the path through the abyss for the purpose of attaining the highest goal .... the childship to God. And for this purpose they have to live on earth in the flesh, they embody themselves as a human being and live their earthly life just as every once fallen original spirit. They, too, have to struggle and resist all temptations with which they are confronted by My adversary's side .... Thus, they must have passed in truth 'through the abyss' in order to then .... when they are recalled .... return as a child of God to Me, their eternal Father .... And beings of light have descended at all times in order to help people who, as once fallen beings, should achieve their return to Me .... The light beings' love is very strong and profound so that they are always helpful and only ever intend to return My lost children to Me. And I do not stop them if they want to descend to earth in order to bring help, which is always needed. But the beings had always come from Me, permeated by My light of love they were living creations of utmost perfection who, with the same will as Mine, work with Me in the spiritual kingdom as well as on earth when they descend for the purpose of a mission. No being of light will ever exclude itself from a mission of bringing light to the earthly inhabitants ....

And thus the soul .... which as the human being Jesus accomplished the act of Salvation on earth .... was also such a spirit of light who had initially emerged from Me as a light ray of love to which I gave independent life .... This spirit had accepted a unique mission because he had realised from the start that the fallen beings needed Him, because he realised from the start that the first human being would fail and that he, therefore, as the 'human being Jesus' wanted to help humanity .... He was indeed, from the start, also actively involved in the creation of the material world, for My will and strength flowed into all beings who had remained loyal to Me and who therefore were active as independent beings in infinity. This soul, too, had descended to earth (this soul, too, had already previously served Me as a spirit of light), and it established a connection between the people and God, that is, it came to people as a spirit of light and thus enabled Me Myself to audibly speak to people through this soul .... Hence this spirit of light served Me as a cover, nevertheless not physically, albeit certainly temporarily visible to people but not permanently, in as much as that He did not live on earth as a 'human being' but only worked amongst people apparently having the same physical substance, and yet he was and remained a spiritual being Which disappeared again from sight of those whom It helped through instructions and discourses.

Elevated beings of light indeed embodied themselves physically on earth too, and as representatives of Myself always also proclaimed My will to people, for it was necessary to provide them with the information about why and for what purpose they lived on earth in spiritual hardship. Nevertheless, a distinction has to be made between the earthly life of a being of light as a human being and the appearance of a spirit of light through whom I communicated Myself. In that case the spirit of light was not My visible external cover .... as was the case with the human being Jesus .... but he only served Me to proclaim My Word to people in a natural manner, for I could also have addressed people from above but then they would have lost their freedom of will .... Thus I always availed Myself of an external form which could either be a physical or a spiritual human being. However, the former lived his life on earth as a human being, whereas the latter was only temporarily visible to people because they urgently required My Word.

Consequently, if it is said that Jesus' soul had repeatedly incarnated before My human manifestation you should only ever assume a spiritual appearance when I Myself .... love .... wanted to express Myself to you humans and thus I chose a spiritual cover for Myself in order to manifest Myself to people. Whereas an embodiment of Jesus' soul in the flesh before My human manifestation did not take place, although I was also able to express Myself in the Word through a human being if he thus had descended to earth from the kingdom of light. Jesus' soul was chosen to enable My human manifestation on earth, and this soul was truly the most elevated spirit of light Who, as first-born Son, had emerged from Me .... that is, from My strength and the will of the one whom My greater than great love had externalised as first-created being. I Myself, as the Eternal Spirit God, manifested Myself only in Jesus, in this highest soul of light .... But it had already served Me as a spirit of light previously in order to enable Me to speak to people, who nevertheless had a high degree of maturity which enabled Me to send them such beings of light through which I Myself could address them directly.

But the fact that untold beings of light had also been embodied as human beings prior to this which likewise upheld people's contact to Me, which brought My Word to them, which, in a manner of speaking, lived on earth as a mouthpiece for Me, should be accepted as truth but should not lead to misguided notions, because Jesus' soul was chosen for My human manifestation, since it had offered itself from the start for this act of compassion in the awareness of the first human beings' failure ....

It is wrong to say that I as 'God' have already incarnated several times .... For My human manifestation in Jesus is and remains a unique act, which humanity is unable and even the world of light is only barely able to grasp, the likes of which has never before and will never be evidenced again afterwards. For Jesus was not one of many but He was the One Who was to become for you humans and for all beings in the kingdom of light the visible God, Whom I have chosen for Myself as cover which shall remain eternally visible ....

And this being had an exceptional status, for His love .... as the first spirit emanated by My and Lucifer's love .... was so immeasurably profound that only He could be considered for My human manifestation and thus a previous process as a human being on this earth was out of the question which, however, does not exclude that He, too, took part in creating the material world, for He knew about My plan of return and He always unreservedly accepted My will and as a being with an abundance of light and strength was also able to accomplish it. This being was so devoted to Me that it enabled the complete fusion with Me, that He and I had to be one, because I in Him and He in Me absorbed each other completely, and this therefore will unveil the secret of My human manifestation in Jesus the moment the being has attained the degree of light again that gives him brightest realisation ....

Amen

Counteracting misguided views about Jesus’ incarnation ....

B.D. 8751 from February 12th 1964, taken from Book No. 92

I only ever want to put an end to doubts which slip into your hearts but which are good, because only then can you receive clarification, because a person who thinks he knows the truth and never asks for it cannot be taught either. As a result of My will something will always happen again which will make you doubt, and thus you will inwardly feel urged to question it. And many misguided views are prevalent which are partly due to wrong instructions and partly due to lack of understanding, and these are the ones I want to correct .... One of them is the popular opinion that Jesus' soul had been incarnated several times before My human manifestation in Him .... because human beings do not know the working of the world of light on earth and in the spiritual kingdom. Until they understand the correlations they will remain indifferent to such misguided teachings and reject them in the belief that they have the right knowledge. Consequently, these correlations have to be explained to people time and again, which is exactly what I always do .... Because I, the Eternal Truth, will always convey the truth to people and disprove every misguided teaching and substantiate it.

The beings of light, which had remained faithful to Me when Lucifer and his followers deserted Me, are permanently working with Me and within My will .... Their activity in the spiritual kingdom cannot be explained to you, but they participate in the formation of new creations of the most diverse kinds, because they incessantly endeavour to provide the fallen substances with every opportunity to ascend, since their profound love constantly urges them to take redeeming actions. They will also descend to earth themselves if people's spiritual hardship calls for it .... All of this has been explained to you several times already .... But you live in an age which has been preceded by many phases of development. And the world of light has always been instrumental in furthering the progress of human beings ....

And there were also times when I Myself, the Eternal Love, took care of people who had ignited love in their hearts themselves, whose nature was thus on the way to returning to Me, however, due to their encumbering original sin there was still a long distance which could only be bridged by Jesus' act of Salvation .... Nevertheless, My love was concerned that they should not succumb to My adversary's temptations, which he had constantly used to tie them to himself. And thus I revealed Myself to them through My Word .... I came to the people on earth in My Word, and the Word was spoken by a spirit of light who descended to earth for the very purpose that the people could hear the Word of the Father ....because I Myself was not visible to human beings, but even this spirit of light only remained visible to people for as long as I wanted to speak through it .... Thus the being of light was not embodied in a human being, in fact it was an original spirit who had not fallen, but this original spirit did not come to earth for the purpose of becoming a child of God .... which is associated with a mission .... but for people it was purely a visible external shape for 'My Word', which was supposed to be heard as if it was spoken between one person and another, but without having a compelling effect on them.

Since I Am 'the Word' Myself, I Myself came to earth to those whose hearts were filled with love. And now I adopted the shape of a spirit of light for Myself, however, he was not physically incarnated as a human being on earth but again was only active as a pure spirit who had the power to visibly show himself to people or to dissolve the shape of his own will again .... And in this manner I stayed with human beings several times ....

And Jesus' soul, the most loving spirit who came forth from Me, was of service to Me too so that My Word could be spoken through him, that He thus remained a man amongst men, on the face of it .... But the act of My human manifestation in Jesus was a most unusually significant process which has to be explained as well. I chose the most elevated and perfect spirit of light for Myself, Whose greater than great love justified this foremost position and therefore it was the first time that He took on a human embodiment when He was to serve Me, the highest and most perfect spirit of eternity, as a cover, because My human manifestation in Him has been and remains a unique event. A previous incarnation as a human being could not have been possible because such an existence as a human being would have required Him to stay in the region of My adversary, who was still extremely powerful since the original sin had not yet been redeemed .... and the forces of darkness would then have clung to His soul, which He could certainly have shaken off but He could not have redeemed them, because the act of Salvation was necessary for this .... But where I wanted to manifest Myself no dark being was permitted to have tempted before, and no act of unkindness should previously have taken place, not even in defence against evil beings which, however, could not have been prevented because an embodied being of light cannot hand itself over to the darkness.

All these happenings are comprehensible when Jesus Christ' act of Salvation is taken into account, which first had to redeem the fallen beings' original sin .... But an incarnation as human being will always imply either the salvation of a fallen original spirit or to enable a non-fallen original spirit to take the path through the abyss in order to become a child of God ....

However, Jesus' soul was given the most arduous mission for its earthly progress, it voluntarily took extreme suffering upon itself, but the love which filled His soul in abundance gave Him the strength to do so .... Even before its descent to earth it had already consisted of the utmost profusion of light and thus was in truth 'My Son, in Whom I Am well pleased ....' I could only embody Myself in a soul like that, this 'human manifestation of God' was only possible in Him .... only He could completely integrate with Me, thus becoming one with Me ....

Amen

About the return of Christ

Christ’s Second Coming ....

B.D. 3768 from May 12th 1946, taken from Book No. 47

My birth on earth occurred at a time when people’s thoughts were in total disarray, at a time of great heartlessness and profound unbelief, it happened at a time when the human race was incredibly distanced from God .... That is, when I came to earth Myself in order to bring help in spiritual adversity. It was not the serious earthly difficulties of individual people which motivated Me to do so, but purely the spiritual hardship, for this signified certain downfall for an infinitely long time to come. I came to them Myself because their hearts remained unaffected by the written Word, thus I came Myself and brought them the Word through the mouth of Jesus, the man, in Whom I took abode and thus spoke through Him, because no-one can attain bliss without My Word .... And now it is just as it was at the time of My birth on earth, the same immense spiritual hardship prevails, the human race is in a hopeless situation if it does not receive help. Heartlessness is rife, faith is paralysed, the written Word has become meaningless for people, for they no longer live up to it and therefore cannot release themselves from their adversity either. And therefore I have come to earth again, except that I Am in spirit amongst people, as I have promised that I will stay with My Own until the end of the world .... I Am with them in spirit and reveal Myself to them through the spirit ....

Once again I bring My Word to them, I speak to people, and those who are of good will can also recognise My Word. And what would be more understandable than that I will not leave people without help? How else can they be helped unless I speak to them Myself? And in order to do so I must avail Myself of a person, I can only speak through a human mouth so as not to aggravate people’s state, i.e., so as not to deprive them of their freedom of faith, which would exclude any improvement of their spiritual state. My Word needs to be conveyed to people again in all purity as it originates from Me, so that it can also take effect on them. And since I Am the Word Myself I come to you Myself, I Am amongst you spiritually, I have descended to earth again in order to bring you help. And as I speak to you I also inform you of the time you are approaching, since it is My will that you know the great responsibility you have for your souls. This is why I address you, I draw your attention to the end, I admonish and caution you, I advise you and explain everything you need to know. And thus My presence is irrefutable for every thinking human being .... For once a person has recognised Me, once he believes in Me, he will never be able to deny a connection between the Creator with that which He has created; thus it will also be self-evident for him that I Am close where My presence is not resisted, and he will also believe that I want to prove My presence through My Word, which comes forth from Me directly and thus testifies to Me. I Am with you in the Word, it is My Second Coming, which I predicted would happen prior to the end .... And thus you can also expect this end with certainty, for I Myself told you the signs which precede the final end, and everything I proclaimed in Word and Scripture will come to pass , for My Word is and will remain truth for all eternity ....

Amen

The Lord's visible appearance ....

B.D. 4783 from November 19th 1949, taken from Book No. 54

I want to give those of you who are My Own a sign before I intervene in world events for the sake of saving erring souls. I want to provide you with the evidence that all My announcements will come true, and I want to reveal Myself to each one of you in a different way. Nevertheless, a vigilant person will know that it is I Who approaches him, even though I choose a form for Myself which adapts itself to its environment, which will not give the impression of being unusual. I want to come to everyone who wants to be of service to Me and ensures the distribution of My Word. I personally want to come to you in order to strengthen your faith, so that you can endure the following events calmly and collectedly and will be able to assist your fellow human beings. For you, My servants, must remain calm and level-headed in the general turmoil in order to provide consolation and help where the adversity is great and help is needed. Anyone who recognises Me straight away will feel blissfully happy in My presence and accept every Word from Me as a gift of boundless love, and his heart will equally come aglow with love, My strength will flow into him so that he could accomplish anything if he wanted to. However, not everyone will recognise Me straight away, yet some will sense that a special person is speaking to them whose Words they accept as absolute truth. And only in the end will they recognise Me in a flash and cheer and, if I have left them, glorify Me as I will nevertheless remain as an indelible image in the heart of the one I delight with My presence. Thus they will find Me in their heart again even when I Am no longer physically visible to them, so that they will constantly be able to draw strength from it and diligently accomplish the work for My kingdom after I have spoken from above which will result in acute adversity for people. Then much work will be in store for My Own and I Myself will help them, I Myself will speak through My Own to all those who want to hear Me and give credence to the Words of My Own. I will speak to them, and you will testify to Me, you will mention My appearance and with lively Words express what you feel for Me in your heart.

You will win many over, since in view of the great adversity people will be grateful for every explanation, consolation and help. You will work for Me and My kingdom because you feel impelled by Me, Who dwells in your heart and Whom you will never lose again once you have seen Him. I will never ever let go of that which has become My Own, this is why I will come to My Own during the last days before the end, and they will recognise Me because love will tell them who I Am. And their bliss will accord to their degree of love when they behold Me. Anyone who looks into My eyes will be overcome by an incomparable sensation of bliss, so that he will recognise more than a mere person in Me. Admittedly, someone who is weak in faith and love and nevertheless wants to strive towards Me, will not instantly recognise Me, yet My Words will touch his heart and kindle the fire of love in him. Then he will recognise Me, sometimes only after I have left him and am no longer physically close to him. I Am among you as a human being, yet I only choose a cover for Myself so that you can see Me and dissolve it just as quickly again in order to be invisible to you. And thus I want to give strength to all of you, so that you will remain faithful to Me and persevere until the end. It will necessitate immense strength, which you will be unable to muster by yourselves. However, I know My Own and will no longer leave them to My adversary. Therefore, have faith and always expect My help. The greater the adversary is, the closer I will be to you, and you will behold Me physically. But then you will know that the hour is near when I will reveal Myself to all those who do not want to believe and are unaware of the approaching end. Then the time I allocated for people's redemption will soon have run out .... and be followed by the day of the end and with it the last Judgment, as it is proclaimed in Word and Scripture ....

Amen

Explanation about the coming of the Lord ....

B.D. 8743 from February 3rd 1964, taken from Book No. 92

I want to give you an important spiritual explanation which is intended to benefit your soul: I want to open up an area for you which you would never be able to enter without the working of My spirit, for I want to introduce you to a world which is only comprehensible to the spiritually awakened person, since it already requires a certain amount of knowledge of things which otherwise are completely unfamiliar to the human being. I have promised you that I will return to earth when the day of the end has come .... This promise, however, has given rise to the most diverse notions in you humans, yet the true explanation has evaded you, precisely because the process of My second coming has been presented in so many different ways and .... just as the process of My Own's rapture .... at different times, thus resulting in wrong claims which I want to correct:

My second coming to earth will not take place physically .... such that My feet will touch this earth, instead I will appear with an entourage of the most elevated beings of light and will be visible to all who are My Own, for no human being having devoted himself to My adversary will ever be able to behold Me in all My glory, for the darkness cannot see the light since people would completely cease to exist, being unable to endure the radiance coming forth from Me. Hence I will come to earth and also to My Own still concealed in the clouds, yet they will be able to bear an abundance of light and thus they will highly delightedly rejoice when they see Me with the great host of angels .... For I will open their eyes to see .... Hence it is wrong to say that everyone will see Me when I come to judge the living and the dead, for the 'Judgment' will not happen such that every individual person has to be answerable to Me. For I know every individual soul, I know to whom it belongs, and since the last Judgment on this earth is a matter of transforming the entire earth and dissolving its separate creations so that all spiritual substances are released to be placed into new forms, this dissolution also denotes the death of people who had failed their last test of earthly life and had handed themselves over to My adversary .... Hence these will be faced by death and unable to escape, which will generate intense panic amongst people .... Yet prior to this final work of destruction My Own will be lifted away ....

I will come to fetch them Myself, they will be allowed to behold Me as I descend to them from above, rejoicing elatedly and with burning love for Me they will longingly stretch out their hands to Me, and I will draw them to Me, I will take them away, I will lift them up, and thus they will experience a process which completely contradicts natural law .... And this jubilation by My Own will be heard by other people who are at first unable to understand it since they won't see anything themselves. Consequently they will merely be seized by a certain apprehension, which will turn into extreme fear and horror when they see My Own suddenly disappear, when they can't understand why they are no longer able to reach the people they had pursued with their hatred .... why they are no longer amongst them and cannot be found ....

There will certainly be radiating brightness, but the pursuers will find it intolerable. Yet they will not have much time to think about it because the end will follow soon .... And the radiant brightness will give way to an almost impenetrable darkness that will drive people to despair. This will be followed by eruptions, outbreaks of fires, splits will occur in the earth so that no person can save himself and everything will be devoured by the earth ....

Not much time will pass between the My Own's rapture and this final destruction, for the rapture would force the remaining people to believe and this would be entirely worthless as it would exclude a free decision. People will have had adequate time before and will have been constantly admonished and forewarned, and anyone still coming to his senses before will also still be accepted and called away before the breakdown of earth, so that he can be helped to progress in the beyond. This act of the rapture is a completely unnatural process, but then I will be able to waive the laws of nature because it will no longer disadvantage anyone's soul .... But even My coming in the clouds will no longer compel people to believe because those who will see Me will have already attained maturity of soul so that they will merely experience the fulfilment of what they firmly believed and therefore anticipated My arrival on a daily basis.

People rarely accept a correct explanation especially about these last events because they have already formed their own concepts about it and don't want to let go of their ideas .... The rapture cannot possibly take place a longer time in advance because such unlawful occurrences would force people to change their mind .... And the end of this earth in any case means the end of everyone who is still alive, for even My Own will experience it, only they will be in a state devoid of all suffering, even though they will be able to follow the process, because this is My will .... Since they will then be completely devout they shall also experience My might and glory, and thus they will also be able to behold My great host of angels surrounding Me, and then they will also be suitable ancestral parents to populate the new earth, which indeed will also be the work of an instant for Me when I want to give the liberated spiritual essence a new external shape for further maturing ....

But the people themselves will have lost all awareness of time until they are returned to the new earth again .... Nevertheless, they will still possess their old body of flesh albeit it will be quite spiritualised already .... This, too, has to be said in order to refute the misguided opinion that the new earth will be populated by completely spiritualised beings .... For the new earth is intended to become a place for higher development again and the old laws will be applicable to the new earth too .... The process of the fallen spirits through the creations up to the human being will take place and the person as such will have to pass the last test of will again .... which in the beginning will certainly lead to success because there will be no temptations by the adversary, who is bound for a long time .... and because people are full of love they will establish a direct contact with Me and therefore attain full maturity very quickly .... You should not let wrong descriptions tempt you into neglecting or postponing your psychological work, for I will abide by the day when I will come in the clouds and with this day will also come the Last Judgment on this earth ....

Amen
