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.

Father words .... God’s word refreshment from the heavens ....

B.D. 0823 from March 22nd 1939, taken from Book No. 17

Love for you has moved Me to send you My word again and again, and thus you stand in great grace and pay no attention to it. I am your God from eternity, I am your creator, your father and at the same time also the redeemer for you who became man .... And anyone who recognizes this and believes in Me is cared for on earth by My love until his end. I know My own and My own know Me .... and well to those who see their saviour and redeemer in Me, who have My word and can build themselves up on it. What is a person's life on earth without this faith; how forsaken does he feel in great distress of heart, for he walks his difficult earthly path without hope of help and only becomes more aware of his loneliness when he has to go through suffering and affliction. Then I will always bring My word close to him, I will show him the right path with love and care .... And now I will again give people on earth the advice to seek contact with the one Who holds all fate in His hands .... But who hears My words, who pays attention to the signs, who gives Me the honour and longs for My love .... There are only a few who fully grasp the meaning of life, and these few shall be My helpers on earth, servants through whom I want to work and guides who shall fight for My name. Mankind wants to renounce Me and does not see the disaster which this plan entails .... it thinks it knows and yet is unspeakably wrong .... it thinks it is progressive and always goes back. And that is why I am active everywhere and announce My word to those who seek connection with Me in faith in Me, and I see their hearts, which are ready to receive, and give them constant thought, so that whoever is in trouble and wants to recognize should lift himself up at this word received from above, so that he who desires such shall fetch wisdom from it. The refreshment from heaven shall flow to people on earth in such abundance that it will truly suffice to revive the spiritually weak and give them strength for their life on earth. For only My word will protect people in greatest adversity, only in My word can true salvation be found, and only in the word can the father be recognized, for His word is always the same .... it is love, truth and life .... it is the word I Myself ....

Amen

Task ....

B.D. 8908 from January 9th 1965, taken from Book No. 93

You still have to accomplish an important task before My intervention occurs, on account of which you will be placed into entirely different circumstances which will make your work for My kingdom more difficult. Yet, prior to this, souls which do not oppose My Word shall still be reached .... they shall learn what is about to happen to humanity even if they doubt it .... the huge event will very soon convince them that you have told the truth. Therefore make it known it to everyone, inform them of this intervention which is coming ever closer and will affect everyone, although the affected country will still remain hidden to you .... I appeal to you to tell all people, to whom you take My Word, about the indication of the immense natural disaster .... It will be necessary for all of them to think about it for once, to feel directly spoken to and, depending on their attitude, be able to draw comfort and strength in the forthcoming time of need. Wherever My Word is proclaimed people shall be informed of it, people everywhere shall be told what is about to happen to them, even if they find it difficult to believe ....

But when the said event takes place, which will come from above .... from the cosmos, which therefore will not have been caused by human will, then they will also believe in the closely following end. For I want to speak to people just once more through this disaster, I want to awaken them from their sleep of death and direct their eyes towards Me, towards the One Whom they can reach through heartfelt prayer .... I want to speak with a loud voice because they pay no attention to My gentle Words .... But I will also take care of those who then still find Me .... And even if they fall victim to the disaster, yet their souls will be saved if they still call upon Me and acknowledge Me as the Power to Which they are subject and have to bow down to. I call on all of you to mention My Words and not to fear that you might worry people, for it is of no avail if they walk blindly into the disaster, which will then take them by surprise and they will be unable to find an explanation for it .... If, however, you tell them in advance what I intend to achieve by it .... if you announce it as certain, then some of them will feel affected by it and .... even if they don't believe it .... will not forget about it. And then they will already know that it is an event which was sent by My will over humanity, and they will know that My Word is truth and thus also believe in the end .... Every attempt has to be made to lead people to believe. And this huge natural disaster, too, can still awaken faith in people who are otherwise no longer approachable and whom I nevertheless still want to win over for Me, even if it is in connection with a great calamity.

However, you are facing the danger of renewed banishment, and if I can still pull souls away from it they will be eternally grateful to Me, for the fate of renewed banishment is far more horrendous .... it will last for eternities, whereas the natural disaster will be over within a night; and although it will be followed by enormous misery every one of you will nevertheless be able to change it into a bearable situation, if only you muster faith in Me. For I Am Lord over life and death, I can also give to you what you need .... just as I can take from you what you are unwilling to surrender voluntarily. And therefore, don't fail to inform your fellow human beings about the forthcoming event, for no one shall say that he didn't know of it .... Only, people will not believe that they are so close to the end, otherwise they would also be able to gather from the Scriptures that a catastrophic event will befall humanity .... But they believe that the time has not yet come when what is written will be fulfilled .... Yet one day the future will become the present, one day the announcements will come true, and this time is close at hand ....

Amen

God’s plan of salvation

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

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

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

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

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

Amen

God will implement His act of Salvation ....

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

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

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

Amen

Spiritual decline

Spiritual decline ....

B.D. 2212 from January 15th 1942, taken from Book No. 31

The people of the present do not recognize where they are drifting. They are alive and yet dead in spirit. They find no connection with God because they do not seek Him. The earthly world means everything to them, but their train of thought does not go beyond that. And therefore every day is spent uselessly in a spiritual sense .... higher development is called into question, indeed, a spiritual regression is often recorded which has tremendously serious consequences. And even if people are made aware of their actual task on earth, they do not listen to such ideas because once again the world and its demands seem to be the only important thing to them. And thus their earthly course is a misguided one, for these people the earth is not what it should be .... And God's love and wisdom does not allow people to misuse their earthly life, to give it a different purpose than God has determined, for His instructions are wise and unsurpassable. But if the human being no longer recognizes God's wisdom he also disregards His instructions and this can only lead to the downfall of that which is supposed to develop upwards. But an upward development can only take place when the human being makes contact with the spiritual and ignores the world. But humanity is disenchanted, it hurries and chases after earthly goals, it is incapable of a spiritual connection because it is unwilling, for striving for the spiritual seems worthless to it since it does not result in earthly success .... And this is spiritual decline .... This is a state which God does not stand idly by but which He tries to remedy by shaking people out of their spiritual lethargy through events which strongly shake people's thinking. God has all power, and He will truly also prove His power to people so that they will learn to recognize Him and seriously try to think about the meaning and purpose of earthly life. And thus He will first take away from people what has occupied their thoughts up to now .... earthly goods and earthly pleasures. They should first recognize the worthlessness of this in its transience and, after times of disappointment, reflect on the only thing of value .... about the relationship between man and God .... He seeks to awaken in them the desire for imperishable good by abandoning to decay everything that has dominated their thinking up to now. And this is the purpose of the coming events which God inevitably has to let come upon people so that they will still utilize the rest of their lives for the salvation of their souls, which so far had to do without all care ....

Amen

Spiritual need .... great earthly sorrow .... prayer ....

B.D. 3361 from December 9th 1944, taken from Book No. 44

There is great spiritual hardship on earth and My love is unable to banish it, for people's will resists My help. It is an unparalleled chaos and yet humanity cannot find its way back to Me because it has already distanced itself too far and no longer recognizes Me. It has no faith, it lives without love and therefore also without recognizing the truth. People live and yet are spiritually dead, they use their intellect and will wrongly, they ponder and research, they think and act but without consulting Me, they are completely ignorant of My will because they don't listen to My word when I bring it to them. They don't let themselves be taught by Me but listen to those who are ignorant themselves; they are incapable of hearing My voice themselves because they lack love and their spirit remains unawakened. And yet, they believe to stand in truth or they are satisfied with what they were commanded out of tradition. And I cannot bring them help because they do not accept it. And the hardship will increase, people will no longer know where to turn and they will lack all strength to endure the coming difficult time. For the spiritual hardship can only be remedied through physical hardship, through earthly tribulation and suffering of an extraordinary kind .... the latter is intended to make them turn to Me in search of help so that I can assist them, yet I have to possess their will first .... The will, however, will only become compliant when the human being no longer has any earthly hope, when he realizes that there is no way out for him and that he is hopelessly lost unless help comes to him from above .... Faith must be born out of this adversity .... when everything around the human being breaks down, when only life is desirable to him; then he calls to the one Who gave him life .... then he gives up all resistance and bows before the lord and creator, and then he prays .... And this is how far I have to lead people, in spite of My love .... precisely because I love them .... I must intensify the hardship if they cannot be won any other way, I must keep Myself hidden from them beforehand so that I can then reveal Myself to them .... I must let them sink if they do not take hold of My hand which wants to bring them salvation .... I must seemingly act mercilessly because they do not submit to My love. And yet, My love is constantly active and concerned about their salvation. And therefore I always send My messengers to those who are in spiritual hardship, who want to escape the chaos and are unable to do so on their own. For they are too weak because they don't believe and therefore don't ask for strength either. But they have to gain faith themselves by letting their intellect become active and thinking in striving for the pure truth .... Then I will reveal Myself to them and they will also recognize Me as soon as they show Me love, which they demonstrate through unselfish neighbourly love .... For I have mercy on everyone who is of good will ....

Amen

Spiritual food .... "Come to Me, I will refresh you .... "

B.D. 4163 from November 10th 1947, taken from Book No. 50

Receive spiritual food as often as it is possible for you. You are at the start of such a difficult time that you have to be anxious to make yourselves resistant to hardship and suffering of all kinds. You will need much strength if you want to fulfil your earthly as well as your spiritual task, and My word imparts this strength to you. For this reason I admonish you again and again to make use of My gift of grace; I draw your attention to the adversities of the coming time and only warn you humans against living thoughtlessly from day to day, fulfilling the body's every desire and leaving the soul in want, for it is merely a matter of the soul's good .... your life in eternity. I would like to help you to be saved, yet your will has to become active and you should not believe that eternal beatitude can be acquired effortlessly, that it will fall to you against your will, without any help from you. You must be aware of the fact that with the death of your body the opportunity to work with your own strength is over, that you will bitterly regret every passed-up opportunity when you come to realise what earthly life has been for you. You only have a very short time left but it is enough if you have the serious will to mature your souls, for I will see to it that you are offered a thousand opportunities to fulfil your actual task in life, the work of unselfish neighbourly love. But there is one thing you must not neglect to make My word your own, to draw strength and comfort from it, because you, who let My word speak to your hearts, unite with Me Myself and thereby receive great blessings for your soul. Do not be satisfied with the fact that My word is offered to you from time to time but look for the opportunity yourselves with a hungry heart to put yourselves into its blessing .... Come to Me, I will refresh you .... Let Me speak to you often, do not be lukewarm and indifferent but hurry up and build up a store of strength in yourselves so that you will become strong in faith and be able to walk the most difficult path of life serenely and calmly, remain constantly aware of My presence and thus walk with Me towards the aim .... to be completely united with Me in the kingdom of light .... Take every word seriously which is conveyed to you through My servants on earth, think about how urgently you need My admonitions, about the danger you are in if you slacken your striving, if you attach too little importance to My word which is offered to you in deepest love in view of the great adversity. You stand in a great extraordinary grace that you receive My word .... make use of this gift of grace, feed your soul with the bread of heaven, do not let it go hungry, for it needs spiritual nourishment .... Therefore pay more attention to your soul than to your body, pay more attention to spiritual life than to earthly life, for the latter will bring you great disappointment if you attach too much value to it. But even a difficult earthly life need not frighten you who strive spiritually, you will live it with Me if you always and constantly let Me speak to you in the word ....

Amen

Disasters, misfortune and hardship

Strokes of fate .... disasters .... misfortunes ....

B.D. 8269 from September 10th 1962, taken from Book No. 87

Hear My voice which will always sound to you from above because it is necessary for the father to speak to His children .... I have mercy on humanity because the end is near and it will mostly pass away without knowing what is ahead of it if it does not establish the bond with Me first. Yet people are so distant from Me, their God and creator, that they do not establish any spiritual bond whatsoever, that they only pay attention to the earthly world, which is My adversary's kingdom .... And they are not to be instructed either, for My adversary has confused their thinking and he has also hardened their hearts so that they only love themselves but feel no love for their neighbour who is in need .... Every person is only concerned about increasing his earthly goods and creating a sense of well-being for his earthly body .... Yet very few think of their souls, and therefore there is such great spiritual hardship on earth which time and again causes Me to speak to My living creations in the form of harsh strokes of fate, disasters and accidents of all kinds, for which you humans cannot really understand, that they are permissions from a loving God Who only wants to bring His living creations to their senses, Who addresses them in this way because they don't listen to His word from above. And therefore the earthly adversity will increase, the time of tribulation will befall people, which can serve to make people change their minds and take the path to Me. How easily they could find it if only they paid attention to My word which sounds to them from above, which is conveyed to them through My messengers. The transmission of My word is the most effective means, but its acceptance requires their free will, and I do not force it. This is why you, My servants, are very necessary for this last rescue mission of Mine, and I bless every work you do for Me ..... For it is a dreadful fate that awaits those who have not taken the path back to Me before the end. I know this and therefore still take from earth those who have not completely fallen prey to My adversary, so that they will still attain a clear light in the kingdom of the beyond and then be able to strive upwards. And that is why time and again you will hear of deaths in great numbers, and then you should always know that My great mercy has called these people from earth so that they will not completely fall prey to My adversary. The fact that good people will also be affected is truly not a disaster for them, for they can contribute to showing the others the way in the kingdom of the beyond. Their love can bring many blessings in the beyond, and they themselves will also be able to increase their degree of maturity through their redemptive work, which is their need in view of the many poor, sick and weak souls who suddenly found death and are without light .... Time is drawing to a close and every day must be evaluated for the redemption of erring souls. And what better thing can you, My servants on earth, do than to let Me speak to people through you? What better can you do than to spread My word and also make it accessible to those who are still in the world and find it difficult to detach themselves from it? Your constant bond with Me gives Me the opportunity to address many people, and the strength of My word will bring about a change of will in those who have not yet completely fallen prey to My adversary, and then they will also be saved from the abyss they are now approaching .... The fact that hardship will also increase has been announced to you time and again, but you should also have the right explanation for this, that only love for the creations which are still apostate to Me will cause Me to do so, even if you doubt it and sometimes cannot believe it when you receive news of great disastrous strokes of fate which affect people all over the world .... If they contribute to people being so touched by them that the will to help is expressed in them, that love is kindled in them, then these strokes of fate will also be a blessing if you consider that these people will escape a new banishment which will bring them endless times of torment and bondage again .... For I only ever want to help people become blissfully happy, and I will do everything so that they will still complete their course of development on this earth ....

Amen

Increased level of suffering and hardship ....

B.D. 2835 from August 3rd 1943, taken from Book No. 37

The world will still have to go through boundless misery because the time is coming to an end which is given to people for their final redemption. They still have to endure much suffering and fight unspeakably, for it is a struggle with the forces of the underworld from whose influence they are to free themselves. This liberation can only be possible with the support of good forces, with the help of God, Who therefore has to be called upon because His strength and help cannot be given to people unsolicited as long as they do not acknowledge God and His working of love. However, humanity is very stubborn and cannot find the path to God on its own, therefore suffering and adversity approach them to such an extent that they are, as it were, forced onto the path which leads to God .... that they have to turn to Him in prayer because they have no other earthly way out. And yet the majority of people pass Him by and thus increase the extent of their suffering and hardship. And God's mercy now resorts to the last resort in order to win over the few who have not yet made up their minds .... He allows a calamity to befall the earth which was not caused by human will, although human will, because it is turned away from God, is the indirect cause of the event .... He determines the elements of nature to extraordinary activity .... He expresses Himself in such a way that people are now once again forced to take a stand towards God, that they can now easily establish the right relationship with Him if their souls are not completely hardened. divine will determines the time, and His power expresses itself when a low point has been reached on earth which necessitates divine intervention. The hard trials beforehand are likewise an opportunity to establish the right relationship with God, and blessed is he who does so, even if he loses his earthly life as a result. He is then protected from complete darkness as soon as he enters the spiritual kingdom. Earthly suffering is not as agonizing as a state of complete darkness in the beyond. But the suffering on earth takes on forms which would have to shake the entire human race in its thinking, for it is faced with changes in living conditions which seem unbearable to it .... Yet even then the eternal deity will still not be recognized, indeed, the great suffering will still contribute towards denying Him completely. But these people are already so far away from God that there is no salvation for them in this period of redemption. They have to cover the path on earth once more and start it again in the most solid matter, which is unimaginably agonizing .... yet their will itself determines and entails the consequences, for if the human will is not yet broken in a time of greatest hardship and earthly tribulations, if it does not yet submit itself to the eternal deity, then God's merciful love has to resort to other means in order to still change this will .... He has to bind it again in such a way that it longs for freedom .... And this is a new period of redemption which will soon begin and thus signifies the end of the old earth, which is imminent ....

Destiny .... 'Father, Your will be done ....'

B.D. 4296 from May 11th 1948, taken from Book No. 51

Every individual person's course of life is predetermined and has to be taken without grumbling and complaining if it is to have a favourable effect on the soul. But strong trust in God has to be present too, then every destiny can easily be endured, for it is shaped by God alone according to His will, only He is able to change every situation in life, He is able to change joy into grief but also suffering into joy if he is approached in heartfelt prayer, and He will do so if the human being in childlike trust tells Him of his problems and commends himself to His grace.

A long path has to be travelled from the abyss to the pinnacle, and this path cannot always be even or it would not lead to ascent. Obstacles have to be overcome, mountains have to be climbed, for the goal is up above and every progress is arduous without the assistance of the right guide. And as long as you humans walk with God Himself by your side as your guide, as long as you entrust yourselves to His guidance, you will not travel the path in vain, He will lead you upwards, and with His help you will be able to overcome every obstacle. And the steeper the path the shorter it will be and the higher you can climb; but when you have reached the pinnacle you will be able to look back and be grateful to your Guide Who enabled you to reach the goal, and every adversity will be over.

The more difficult a destiny, the higher the goals set for you and the brighter the light will shine, and all abysmal darkness will be defeated. God, however, is able to make even the steepest path of ascent seem smooth to you if you hand yourselves over to Him as His children, if you accept every sorrowful event, if you always pray 'Father, Your will be done ....' Then He will not let you suffer, even in greatest adversity He will calm your soul and give you peace, He will powerfully work in you Himself and nothing will seem difficult and yet you continue to progress, for your will, your submission to His will, lets you partake of His strength, you will not consider anything a burden to you and always gladly and cheerfully cover your earthly path until the loving Father's hand takes hold of you and takes you into the Father's house, until you have reached the goal and return to the eternal home, into the land of light where no sorrow, no suffering nor adversity exist but only eternal blissfulness ....

Amen

World fire

Abuse of the power of the strongest .... unkindness ....

B.D. 2043 from August 26th 1941, taken from Book No. 30

The spirit of discord dominates the world, and this spirit can produce nothing other than discord and lack of love. Love will never be able to develop where people treat each other without love. On the other hand, hatred and vengefulness will blossom to the highest level. And this means ever greater destruction of what is the possession of the other. It also means that the human being regresses more and more in his spiritual development, which is the purpose and goal of earthly life, that he sinks deeper and deeper and finally departs from the world in a state that can or must be called almost more immature than at the beginning of his embodiment on earth. For unkindness is the opposite of that which leads upwards. Humanity is caught up in a terrible delusion; it believes itself to be called upon to suppress or completely eradicate the weak and sees this as the right of the strongest .... It rages against the divine order, which associates the weak with the strong, so that the latter may test itself against it, but in a different way than it does .... For the strong should be the giver and provide for the weak and needy, he should stand by them in their need and powerlessness; the strong should not abuse his power and strength to oppress the weak, but protect them from oppression. But where there is unkindness, the divine order is no longer respected. Everyone only loves himself, he seeks to increase his own well-being and to enrich himself with the possessions of the weak, who cannot resist him enough. And this state of affairs is intolerable in the long run, for it always has a destructive effect, but never a constructive one, just as everything that is directed against the divine order means downfall. A constant struggle can certainly be observed in nature, which always results in an increase in the power of the strongest. This battle certainly leads to the perpetual remodelling of the external form of the being, but then it is God-willed because God Himself directs the will of the creature and every process is necessary for the higher development of the spiritual in every form. But man has overcome all these forms, and free will is given to him during the time of his walk on earth, which he is now to use for the higher development of the soul. He should fight, but only against himself and the evil instincts within him. He should strive for what is good and noble and try to overcome everything that is low, and this is constant fighting .... And he should help his fellow human being in this fight against himself. And so man must suppress every desire, he must learn to despise what the world presents to him as desirable, so that he does not seek to increase his possessions, but gladly and joyfully gives them away. If he does this, he will soon be able to cast off his earthly shackles and enter the kingdom of light unencumbered .... But what goals are people currently pursuing .... All his thoughts and endeavours are only aimed at increasing earthly possessions; he wants to possess, whereas he should renounce .... He clings tenaciously to earthly possessions and seeks to gain them even by unlawful means, as he exploits the weakness of his fellow human being and overcomes him by virtue of his strength. And this is the result of unkindness, which is now particularly evident in humanity and which is the cause of unspeakable suffering .... for love can only be reawakened through such ....

Amen

Further indication of disasters and war ....

B.D. 8717 from January 6th 1964, taken from Book No. 91

The forthcoming time will burden you extraordinarily, for world events will enter into a new phase, the restlessness amongst nations will increase, each one will consider the other as the enemy and nothing will be seriously done to establish peace even though all people will be longing for it. But materialism is the driving force of all plans and undertakings, and everyone aims to gain the greatest advantage, yet no one is fair in his thoughts and intentions and motivated by good attitudes while misfortunes increase fear and unrest, for God Himself still tries to make Himself known to people, since only the belief in Him and His might is the right counterbalance for all adversities and afflictions which you humans are approaching.

Consequently, there will also be more natural disasters, so that a higher Power will be acknowledged, for whatever people do will only ever deepen their hatred for each other but not lead to spiritual reflection. Heartlessness will take on shapes which will soon be unsurpassed, and the state of people warring against each other will therefore become ever more determined, there will be anything but peace amongst people although the great conflagration will not have yet erupted but will not fail to materialise. People themselves live their lives indifferently and only few spend thought on the fact that this state of affairs cannot continue for long. Yet the people in charge are generally spiritually blind .... there will be much talk but these will be just empty phrases which will not be followed by actions. For the earthly hardship will not be remedied where it is clearly recognisable and since the commandment of neighbourly love obviously remains unfulfilled the spiritual state cannot be good either, although they will be living in earthly prosperity and will apparently not have to go without anything .... The souls, however, will go hungry, and yet people will be unapproachable for spiritual instructions which would provide the souls with the right nourishment.

People should look around themselves open-eyed and be seriously critical of their own lives, then they will learn to understand and be able to observe the forthcoming events with the right realisation which, although they have always been announced, only now become more significant in view of the serious difficulties of those who are directly affected by it .... Yet these are the last days, and since people no longer have any faith it requires especially severe strokes of fate in order to disturb them, so that a few will find their faith in a God and Creator again to Whom they owe their existence .... in order to make them think why and for what reason this God and Creator has created them .... It is a matter of life or death for you humans, of infinite beatitude or torment and anguish, of brightest light or absolute darkness .... And thus, anyone who wants to be happy and live eternally in light has to fulfil his God and Creator's will, he has to try to discover this will and then live a life of love for God and his fellow human being .... If, however, he does not believe in a God then his whole earthly life will have been pointless, he will constantly contravene the law of divine order, and revoking the laws of divine order will always result in chaos, and you humans are now irrevocably approaching this chaos ....

And it will not just affect you spiritually but the earthly world will also be completely turned upside down, time and again you will receive news about natural disasters, accidents and other calamities, for there will no longer be any harmony and peace in a world which is devoid of all love and faith .... But whoever has found the path to God, who endeavours to fulfil His commandments of love, who hands himself over to Him in spirit and in truth, who prays to Him and appeals for His protection, will also surely receive it, for these people belong to His small flock who will persevere until the end, who will not let their faith waver, who will stay together and carry God deep within their hearts and who will therefore be lifted up in the end if God does not recall them to His kingdom sooner, if it is His will ....

Again and again your attention will be drawn to what lies ahead and comes ever closer to you, even if you are of little faith .... you will be unable to prevent it, and you can, with absolute certainty, stand up for what is announced to you, for the point is that people should be told that everything has been taken into consideration in the Plan of eternity, that everything is dependent on God's will Who, however, proceeds in His wisdom and love in order to accomplish the work of return to Him, and will also achieve the goal one day ....

Amen

Fatherly Words of love ....

B.D. 3532 from September 1st 1945, taken from Book No. 45

You have a powerful Helper by your side, and yet you still want to lose heart? You may approach Me in prayer at all times by merely using this grace and you will call Me to your side and you will assuredly receive support. Regardless of the danger you find yourselves in .... My power is greater and can banish every calamity in an instant. Bear this in mind if you are at risk of feeling anxious and fainthearted. Your Father in Heaven will not abandon you, in a crisis He is closer to you than ever as long as you consider yourselves His children and trustingly call upon Him for help. Time and again I assure you of My protection, time and again I lift you up through My Word, and time and again I impart upon you the strength to resist evil. And My love will embrace you more closely than ever if you suffer adversity of body and soul and take refuge in Me in full confidence that I will help you. You may always consider yourselves safe and secure when the world around you runs riot, when earthly measure frighten you and make you tremble .... Then you need simply stretch out your hand to Me so that I will guide you, and I will take you along a path that leads away from disaster .... For I will walk beside you, and the power of evil will truly not come close to Me. He avoids Me and chooses people who walk in darkness like himself and ignores those who walk by My side in the light and who are therefore out of reach for him. Believe and trust in Me and don't allow earthly adversities to get you down. Only pay attention to your souls and let Me worry about your earthly life .... and give Me the right to take care of you by totally handing your will over to Me. And your life on earth will be bearable for you .... For I Am always with you as long as you send your thoughts up to Me and desire to be in contact with Me. I will call My little sheep when I have found them, when they have returned to their shepherd, I will not let them go astray again, I will stay with all those who want to stay with Me and will never ever leave them again. So if I give you this assurance, why are you still worried? My Word is truth and will remain truth for all eternity. I always draw close to My children with all My love as soon as the slightest call reaches Me, and therefore you should always come to Me if you labour and are heavily laden .... My love is always willing to give, My love is always willing to help, I can help you and I want to help you, I only require your faith, your trust, so that My strength of love can take effect ....

Amen

Intervention of God

Intervention by God ....

B.D. 3151 from June 7th 1944, taken from Book No. 41

The incomprehensible is about to happen .... God Himself will speak to people in a way which will generate fear and horror. This time will soon be here, for humanity can no longer expect consideration seeing that it is completely devoid of love. It will start the ball rolling itself, it will give rise to the intervention itself, for it constantly violates God's commandments, the commandment of love for God and one's neighbour. And it scrupulously carries out satanic actions which are bound to lead to ruin if God does not intervene and thereby still save souls who find their way to Him in adversity. And this is the sign of the time which God proclaimed long in advance, that the end of the preceding bitterly fierce battle will be determined by God because He wants to reveal Himself and His power. He Himself will terminate the conflict, yet differently than people expect .... Through His intervention, which consequently is of decisive importance for the whole world, He will steer worldly events in a different direction. People will have to realise that they are powerless and that a higher Power conducts global affairs. And they will have to bow to this Power .... The adversity, which human will had already made almost unbearable for many people, will be severe; yet then they will have to struggle with tribulations sent to them by God Himself and cannot revolt against them because they cannot hold anyone responsible for it.

Yet people's conduct prior to this cannot be called human anymore, and thus God will reveal His might to them .... Where people previously wanted to demonstrate their power and brutally proceeded against their fellow human beings, that is where God will show Himself in His actions, and compared to Him all are weak and defenceless and their shameful rage will fall back onto those who mercilessly only want to cause destruction simply because they feel powerful. No-one can possibly imagine the ensuing chaos once people's unbridled feelings of hatred and vengeance break through, and this destructive will signifies the disintegration of that which God the Lord created before it has reached its goal. People of the present time are typified by their constant will of destruction which is a sign that they are enslaved by the power which tries to obliterate everything in order to prevent the souls from drawing closer to God. People are not aware that the violent destruction of created things, be they human, animal or solid matter, has terrible consequences, how the immature spiritual substances within rage and wreak havoc and what turmoil this signifies in the spiritual kingdom. They pester and detrimentally affect people's souls and even the believers feel their influence and become disheartened and discouraged. A mighty will must therefore put an end to it for the sake of the spiritual beings which endeavour to approach God and are supposed to be diverted by God's adversary through his compliant servants on earth.

And this is why God's voice will resound immediately after the implementation of a plan which will exceed every atrocity ever devised by people. There is only a little time left, first a horrifying event has to take place for the whole world to pay attention to in order to hear God's voice even more clearly. Many victims will yet have to fall prey, i.e., they will have to sacrifice their lives for a dishonest cause so that those people in need of coming to their senses will pay heed, for they all contribute towards the chaos and thus are also partly to blame if they don't realise the injustice and stop supporting it. The divine voice always and forever admonishes and warns, it points out wrong-doing to everyone yet it also demands to be heeded or else it will resound with a voice of thunder to everyone's horror and pass judgment according to law and justice.

For the blame rests with everyone and only those can be acquitted who detest humanity's behaviour and want to belong to God, for they recognise the injustice and fear and know that the wrath of God will strike the evil-doers .... And the hour will come suddenly and unexpectedly, for it is the last great blessing before the end, so that anyone will still be converted who doesn't live carelessly and recognises God in the natural disaster, which is inevitable in accordance with God's will ....

Amen

My voice will resound from above ....

B.D. 3571 from October 8th 1945, taken from Book No. 45

And My voice will resound from above .... It will be mighty and people will have to listen to it even if they otherwise pay no attention to Me. Depending on the state of their souls they will either willingly or unwillingly have to raise their eyes towards heaven. For they will find themselves exposed to a force they can no longer avoid. Admittedly, it will only touch the hearts of a few, yet these will have been helped even if physical help fails to materialise. But as the rule, fear and worry about physical life will predominate and My voice will not suffice to accept it and return to Me despite utmost hardship and affliction. They will not want to realise that My voice applies to those who are still distant from Me and, being obstinate-hearted, they will only try to save themselves and yet will be powerless against the forces of nature.

They will lose all footing, for the ground will sway, a roaring storm will fill the air and everyone will have to rely on himself as no-one will be able to help the other. And My voice will resound from above .... I will speak with a voice of thunder and all elements of nature will obey My will, they will speak on My behalf and testify to My might. I will manifestly confront people and won't force them to believe, for it will still be up to them to accept natural forces but to deny Me as the Being Which also governs the natural forces according to His will. And thus the final means of teaching before the end will not force people to believe either, even though it should speak clearly enough for Me and can also be recognised by people of good will not entirely enslaved by My adversary who wants to separate them from Me forever.

What I have proclaimed through My spirit will fulfil itself .... The earth will tremble and the elements of nature will cause incalculable damage and claim countless victims. Yet this has been determined since eternity, because even this occurrence is a means of help used by Me in order to still win people over to Me, since other forms of adversity and distress are not enough to let them find their way back to Me and I have to brandish a sharp rod over the hardened human race. And it is absolutely true that I will not rest until I have regained all My living creations. And thus My love, which wants to save them from their downfall, will never end even if this love is not recognisable in My activity. Yet anyone who takes notice of My voice will also feel My love and he will be grateful to Me for all eternity ....

Amen

Changes in the constellations ....

B.D. 6405 from November 18th 1955, taken from Book No. 68

You will experience a series of events at short intervals which will greatly disturb you since you will be unable to explain them, and hence you will fear powers against which you cannot defend yourselves. Nor will you be able to find a correct explanation because it is My will that each one of you shall take all eventualities into account and adopt an appropriate attitude .... because I want each one of you to still derive a benefit for yourselves, that is, for your soul .... Where faith is entirely absent people will be particularly apprehensive, whereas the believers will more or less abide by Me and know that they are protected in My care.

Nevertheless, the cosmically generated phenomena will lead to much public debate so that every person will spend some thought on them himself and also discuss it with other people. At times worldly interests will be less important, yet once these appearances have passed worldly people will enjoy the pleasures of the world even more eagerly and only a few will retain impressions which will result in reflection and even to a change of attitude .... until the same cosmic events repeat themselves and trigger new anxiety .... For the scientific community fears a serious threat to planet earth .... since the mysterious changes in the galaxy have never been observed before and may pose a considerable risk to earth. And people's opinion regarding the assessment of effects will vary considerably .... People will carelessly brush it aside and, without a second thought, enjoy their lives; others will take entirely futile precautions, while others still will withdraw within themselves and mentally come to terms with their God and Creator .... And I allow everyone his free will, I only ever try to encourage people to think correctly, to pay attention to the human being's true purpose .... so that they will find peace in Me and then can be led by Me for the salvation of their souls ....

But what will happen? .... The zodiac will change .... Stars will be moved into other orbits with new positions in relation to earth .... and thereby stars never observed before will become visible, one of which will emerge as a direct threat to earth as a crossing with the earth's orbit will be feared .... No-one will want to believe that this will happen, and no-one will believe that natural laws can change, but you humans are facing the end .... You yourselves are preparing something that will have even worse effects, for what you undertake will endanger the whole earth ....

What happens due to My will is, however, just a sign of the end, it is a serious warning for you and I only grant you such obvious signs of a higher Power's existence so that you can turn to it and thereby also avert a real danger if you, that is your soul, make correct use of it. But what follows afterwards will affect the whole earth and everything living on it ....

And this is why I will manifest Myself in advance in an unusual way yet without forcing you to acknowledge Me as the Initiator of what will have a huge outcome, yet will not affect the whole earth. For I know all natural laws and their effects, I also know how to avert any happening or lessen its effect .... But what I allow to happen will always serve your deliverance, it is intended to drive you to Me, it is intended to let you humans recognise a 'God' in Whom you should take refuge because He is your Father .... It is the last sign before the end .... It is the final attempt by My love and mercy to save what can still be saved ....

Amen

Size of the work of destruction .... natural disaster ....

B.D. 2828 from July 28th 1943, taken from Book No. 37

People cannot imagine how God will express Himself because a work of destruction will take place the magnitude of which has not yet been experienced. And that is why the predictions will not be believed and also remain without effect, because people do not want to accept something extraordinary and they consider an intervention by God that destroys creations to be completely out of the question. However, God expresses Himself in a form that is unusual because the purpose of the works of destruction is to tear people out of their daily lives and place them in different living conditions that are intended to change their thinking and their way of life. And therefore God will prove His might and His strength to people through the forces of nature, He will reveal Himself to people in the elemental eruptions, He will deprive them of all strength and make them realize their helplessness so that they will turn to Him for help, so that they will confess Him in their hearts and call upon Him for His help. It will be a process which will make people freeze, for the raging of the forces of nature will be so powerful that they will believe that the end of the world has come .... And people will not know the extent of the natural disaster, they will only be able to survey their immediate surroundings and will be unaware of the actual extent of the work of destruction because every connection with the environment will have been severed. These will be terrible hours, hours of extreme hardship and deepest despair, because no human being will be able to fight the forces of nature, because everyone will have to endure what God has imposed on them. The divine voice will be audible to everyone, for it will resound with such strength that no-one will be able to close their ears .... it will cause fear and terror .... And yet it is the voice of love that speaks to people .... is only so powerful because the quiet voice is not heeded and because man must be called if he does not want to perish in the way of life he leads .... without God and without faith in a continuation of life after death. Admittedly, even this obvious manifestation of God will not be recognized by most people for what it is; a guiding and fate-determining God will be rejected by many all the more, yet the immense natural event will stimulate people to reflect, and then the will of the individual is decisive as to how far his thinking corresponds to the truth and how he allows the thoughts he now receives to have an effect on him. He can come to the right realization if he does not close himself to the bearers of truth who mentally try to instruct him and if he listens to people who preach to him about God's love and about the meaning and purpose of earthly life. God gives all people the opportunity to come to the right realization, and only the will for truth is necessary for him to derive the right benefit from the dreadful experience. Yet only a few will have this will and they cannot be helped in any other way, even if this natural disaster passes them by without leaving any impression. God uses the last resort before the final divorce .... He tries to change people's thinking once again, He makes them aware of the transience of earthly things and lets them get into situations where they should seek Him and long for Him in order to be able to help them. And therefore He allows a work of destruction to take place which, however, simultaneously signifies a redemption for the spiritual substance bound in solid form .... Ignorant mankind only sees the overwhelming destruction, but the knowing man knows about the necessity and the blessing of such destructions for the spiritual development of the being .... He also knows about the danger humanity is in, that it does not recognize its creator .... that it lives irresponsibly and does not fulfil its last purpose of earthly life. And He knows that God only lets His mighty voice be heard because He is pitied by humanity, which does not recognize His reign and work. He knows that God only wants to help the erring souls so that they will recognize Him when He speaks to them through the forces of nature ....

'I will come like a thief in the night ....'

B.D. 2534 from November 2nd 1942, taken from Book No. 33

People carelessly pay no attention to the signs of the time, nothing seems unusual to them, and they accept every happening without realising its significance. And they do not believe the proclamations about the impending natural disaster either, for they think that the time which is mentioned in the Scriptures has not yet come .... They do not accept any kind of explanation because the thought that people of the present time should be the victims is inconvenient to them. Therefore the forthcoming event cannot be made plausible to them either and they will be taken by surprise and be unprepared when the day arrives. And these are the people to whom the Lord says 'I will come like a thief in the night ....' They will be fast asleep and will have made no preparations, and their souls will suffer serious hardship when they are recalled from earth. They will not be able to call upon God anymore because the magnitude of the disaster will deprive them of every thought .... God's love will not let anything happen to humanity without informing them first .... And He warns them a long time in advance yet He will not force people to believe these warnings.

However, anyone who pays attention to the signs will not find it difficult to believe. And anyone who is in contact with God will also feel God's admonition in his heart. He will become aware of the signs of the time himself and he will try to attain God's grace, that is, he will appeal for it and commend himself to God's mercy .... Only a short time separates you humans from this event, and you should use this time so that you can expect it with composure .... You should not entertain the thought that you are perfect and have no need of mercy, you should humbly entrust yourselves to God's love and always believe that your last hour has come .... you should listen to the admonitions of those who, as representatives of God, bring you His Word; you should know that the hour is not far away and always be ready. And God's love and mercy will help you during the hours of adversity. He will remember you as you remember Him .... He will spare your life if it is helpful for you, or He will remove you from the earth and grant you a better life in the beyond if you are worthy of it .... But woe to those who approach this hour unprepared and lose their life .... Their fate in the beyond will truly not be an easy one. And God wants to protect people from this by announcing the forthcoming events to them and admonishing them to turn around if their way of life does not correspond to His will. And thereby He will demonstrate the Words of the Holy Scriptures 'I will come like a thief in the night, therefore watch and pray ....'

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

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

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

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

Amen

Antichrist .... End ....

B.D. 3672 from January 31th 1946, taken from Book No. 46

The spirit of the Antichrist has been in the world since Jesus Christ accomplished of His act of Salvation. He has constantly attempted to undermine His act, he has always and forever fought Jesus' followers, he has always and forever driven people into heartlessness, thus he has actively opposed Christ's will and teaching on earth, partly by means of spiritually confusing people's thoughts and partly, in human appearance, clothed in a gown of knowledge and intelligence. The teaching of Jesus Christ was opposed by a human teaching at all times which aimed to weaken it, thus it was antichristian, and this has always been Satan's work, the work of forces from below which intended to cause people's desertion from God or to obstruct their way to Him. And this antichristian activity is steadily on the increase and will be blatantly self-evident before the end .... Satan himself will be active on earth in human form, the Antichrist in person, whose activity will be extremely ominous for the whole of the human race. For he will initiate laws which aim to eradicate spiritually-minded thoughts, which will prevent all spiritual endeavour and intend to entirely secularize people. And this will be the last work of the one who fights against God, for he will be transgressing the limit of his authority, which is relentlessly punished by God .... The change of worldly events will be rapid, extensive worldly changes will occur in short succession and a ruling power will come to the fore by wanting to direct the state of affairs of all nations and, instead of order, will cause utter disorder. For his regulations will first and foremost apply to the suppression of all faith. He will find many supporters on earth, and that will be the sign for the End. For people won't resist it but will almost unanimously profess and celebrate him as a hero and victor whose goal they acknowledge and consequently also support.

And this will be the start of the most difficult time for believers. It will seem incomprehensible to them what is going on in the world, it will seem incomprehensible to them that God's love and patience allow His most sacred name to be slandered and ridiculed and Jesus Christ's followers to be ostracized and pursued in a most brutal way. Yet they penetrate the truth of the divine Word ever more, which has predicted all this, and thus they also faithfully commit themselves to God's guidance. The Antichrist rages in a most frightening way, he dazzles people by the actions he implements with support of strength from below .... Satan himself works through him as the opposing spirit of the One Who works in the living creations of love and faith, in people, who love God above all else and firmly believe in Him and thus have to suffer great adversities due to God's opponent. People will pay homage to him, they will erect altars, they will proclaim him as the Messiah bringing salvation to them, for he will achieve feats which will impress people, yet they will not be works of love but mere activities of arrogance and craving for power. He will work as a human being, try to explain his strength as human strength and oppose and deny everything that is divine, that points to and testifies of God. And his willpower will be rock hard .... He will give orders, and anyone resisting his command will be destroyed by him .... He will seek to prohibit all teachings of Christ, all knowledge of Him and His act of Salvation, he will try to drag everything through the mud and regally reward those who assist him in his quest against Christ, just as he, full of hatred, will also take actions against His followers ....

The Antichrist's stature will be recognisable by its external good looks, by his physical strength .... for Satan conceals himself so as not to be recognised for who he is. And his extraordinary abilities will draw humanity's attention to him, there will be no end of admiration. He will reside on earth in external splendour and grandeur, in contrast to Jesus Christ Who lived inconspicuously amongst his brothers, devoid of all earthly possessions with a love-filled heart for his fellow human beings. But the Antichrist's heart will be callous and unemotional towards all worldly hardship and yet humanity will jubilantly applaud him, blinded by his external brilliance and strength. He will appear suddenly and unexpected at a time of utmost earthly adversity and, with strong hands, promise relief, seize power and authority without meeting any resistance, because people only pay attention to the harsh conditions on earth and ignore this hero's spirit, who will want to distinguish himself and, with the help of like-minded people, elevate himself as a ruler. And then the end will be near .... For the resulting battle of faith will be the prelude to the entire work of destruction of earth .... It will only last a short time but with such intensity that it will require an extremely strong faith as not to succumb.

Yet once again God Himself will confront His adversary .... For He is in spirit amongst those who fight on His behalf, and the Antichrist runs in vain against the bastion of faith .... And he will fall from his throne into the mire of damnation .... His government will not last long but will cause unspeakable misery amongst the whole of humanity which will predominantly support him and abandon all faith in God, which will believe his earthly implementations and will thus finally also share the damnation, for it will be subject to God's adversary and therefore also share his fate. And this will be the End .... Jesus Christ will remain victorious and His church will continue to exist for all eternity ....

Amen

Emergence of the Antichrist ....

B.D. 8734 from January 24th 1964, taken from Book No. 92

Not much time will pass before My adversary assumes his last dominion on this earth. But prior to this I will still speak with a voice of thunder, so that a few may still find their way to Me in utmost adversity, who then will remain faithful to Me because My obvious help enabled them to recognise Me and who therefore will not let go of their faith in Me again. Yet there will only be a few and therefore My adversary will wield great power, for the extensive natural disaster will cause people such severe hardship that they will join anyone who promises his help to end their misery. And one person will do so, he will win everyone over for himself who has not handed himself over to Me, for My Own will keep away from him, being mindful of My admonitions and warnings that the great battle of faith is about to happen, which will be incited by My adversary. Worldly people, however, will cheer him, for he will know how to dazzle them, and he will accomplish things which will make them inclined to believe in a supernatural power .... And precisely the fact that all unbelievers accept him as ruler and saviour from their earthly hardship proves that My adversary himself is involved, that he, as My adversary, avails himself of an earthly shell in order to be able to have a free hand. And you, who belong to My Own, will ask yourselves why I put up with this dominion of his and won't bring him down .... It is his last great campaign on this earth which will also bring about the ultimate end, he will instigate the flare up of the last battle in which you will have to prove yourselves, because it is the last decision before I come Myself to save My Own.

The earlier natural disaster had evoked a greater will to live in people, and anyone who had survived will try to acquire worldly goods again by any means, to attain earthly prosperity, and this striving will be supported by My adversary, who thus will find a huge number of followers. And he indeed knows how to deceive people about his true nature, they will see in him someone endowed with extraordinary strength, whom they unreservedly trust and give the right to issue instructions which they blindly obey .... And he will have so many supporters that the small flock of devout people, who recognise him and his true colours, will be unable to defend themselves from his attacks, but precisely because of this they will recognise him, that he wants to eradicate people's faith in Jesus Christ, that he wants to occupy the highest throne himself and have people worship him .... And so they will, because he will achieve true works of wonder with his remaining power. And you will know him when he appears, but first the world will be plunged into fear by the magnitude of a natural disaster .... through which I will reveal Myself to people ....

And directly afterwards he will appear and promise help and improvement from this enormous chaos. He will find many followers because people are ready for their downfall or they would recognise him and appeal to Me for protection from him and his machinations .... Not much time will pass before he appears, who at first will emerge under the cover of piety and yet very soon divulge his true nature. People, however, will be easily deluded and he will have a simple game with them .... They effortlessly relinquish their faith in a God because they were hard hit by the natural event and are willing to place My greatest enemy and opponent onto the highest throne, who embodies himself and his characteristics in a human being in order to set the final course of action on this earth in motion: to wage open battle against Me and My Own, against all faith and all justice .... For only his supporters will be provided by him with the means to live, whilst My Own will be threatened with death .... yet he shall find His Lord in Me as soon as his time is up, and for the sake of My Own I will shorten this time .... I Myself will come to save them from greatest adversity and his dominion will end; he, together with his followers, will be bound again for a long time .... And a new era of peace and harmony will start again .... where love shall reign and My adversary's activity will be prevented .... as it is proclaimed in Word and Scripture ....

Amen

Power of satan .... "Watch and pray ...."

B.D. 4684 from July 8th 1949, taken from Book No. 54

Great is the power of him who wants to destroy you. He does not shy away from any means and wraps the cloak of righteousness around himself, he tries to confuse your thoughts so that you are no longer able to distinguish right from wrong. He wants to overthrow you, he wants to bring you down so that you remain lying on the ground and can no longer rise. And he will harass you in every way, but most of all when you have chosen Me as your aim and have taken the path which leads to Me. Then he will lurk at every crossroads and want to lead you astray. He approaches you under the mask of a friend behind whom you see no falsehood, and he tries to win you over through words and deeds which, however, do not arise from love but are only appearances which you should fall prey to. Pay attention to this and always stick to Me, then I will not fail to warn you and walk invisibly next to you, I will pull you onto the right path and put the feeling of disgust into your heart if the deceiver approaches you under the cover of love. Detach yourselves from the world and you will only be exposed to a few temptations, but he lures you with the world and its pleasures and not infrequently succeeds. Give up everything the world offers you and seek Me, Who can truly give you goods which are incomparable to earthly goods. Know that behind every earthly joy lurks the tempter who wants to oust you from Me and turn towards you and who uses the pleasures of the world to win you over. His power is great, for he has many means at his disposal which are successful with people. But I only offer you one thing .... My love which wants to help you attain beatitude. And this love expresses itself in the transmission of My word, which is why you must therefore regard My word as a gift of love which you should never ever underestimate and which you should therefore request and receive at any time if you want to increase your spiritual wealth and then also be strong in your resistance against the enemy of your soul. My word is a sure weapon against the attacker, for if you oppose him with My word he will lose all power over you and desist from his plan to win you for hell. But again and again he will approach you and try his arts on you and therefore "watch and pray, lest you fall into temptation ...."

Amen

Battle of faith

Chaos .... battle of faith ....

B.D. 3251 from September 11th 1944, taken from Book No. 42

And it will come as it is written .... A spiritual change is imminent but only after a state of extreme confusion, earthly and spiritual perplexity, clearly recognizable satanic activity and utmost earthly and spiritual hardship. For all this must precede so that a new spiritual life will emerge from it, which will now be led by those who assert themselves in these end time, who place spiritual life above earthly life and do not allow themselves to be determined to fall away from God. They will experience the new time, the spiritual transformation and thus also the transformation of the old earth, and God's greatness will become apparent to them, His wisdom, omnipotence and love. The eternal deity is apparently far away from the human race in the last days, but in truth it is closer than ever, for He courts every human soul, and that is why all the suffering on earth is necessary, because it is the last means of winning them. And suffering is also a sign of God's love, Who knocks at the individual's heart in order to make Himself audible to him. And when the last time has come there will be no end to suffering and affliction, so that the human being will close himself off from the pleasures of the world, so that he will turn his thoughts towards eternity, so that he will learn to despise the earth and only recognize its spiritual purpose. And then an unspeakably sad process will take place, carried out on the faithful who faithfully stand by God .... This will signify a final onslaught against the faith, a disenfranchisement will be introduced which shall expel all believers from the circle of the general public; a time of unspeakable suffering will come for these believers, yet it will only appear so to fellow human beings, for the believers themselves do not feel the suffering to the extent it appears, since the strength of God will assist them and make them able to bear the fate imposed upon them. Depending on the depth of faith is also the depth of suffering, which indeed appears unbearable in the eyes of the world but is not such a great burden for the believer that he is unable to bear it. But the world tries to celebrate triumphs, people will be more materialistic than ever, they will chase after worldly pleasures, they will unscrupulously take what seems desirable to them without consideration for their fellow human beings, and they will heap injustice upon injustice, sin upon sin and offend against the divine commandments because they no longer acknowledge God and testify to this in the openly waged battle against the believers. And it is only a small flock that lives scattered amongst people who recognize the near end and eagerly await it. For they know that the end also brings with it the coming of the lord and faithfully wait for Him Who shall bring them salvation from deepest adversity. And God blesses their profound faith by revealing Himself to them wherever the adversity is great and people need strengthening. He is with them at all times, for every believing thought calls upon Him. Yet He still remains invisible, He only appears visibly in individual cases until the hour has come when He raptures His own, when He lifts them up in a living body before the work of destruction on earth takes place. And then the great earthly adversity will be over, for the believers can no longer be harassed if they take possession of the new earth again in order to start a new redemption period as the tribe of the new human race. For all evil has been banished and thus rendered harmless ....

Amen

Joint action at the time of the battle of faith ....

B.D. 7806 from January 24th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

And a spiritual community will form which is active in My will when the time of the battle of faith has come .... People will come together who are of the same spirit, whose will is turned towards Me and who will also confess Me before the world. For these receive strength from Me and cannot help but proclaim My name because they are fully permeated by My spirit, because their faith is a living one, full of power and full of strength. Therefore this time of the battle of faith need not give you, who want to be Mine, cause for fear and worry, for you will be stronger than them, you will not fear them but your courage of confession will increase because the more eagerly you stand up for Me and My kingdom the more strength will come to you. And you will recognize each other, for love will bring you together, I Myself will direct your paths and guide you so that you will find the way to each other, and you will transfer the strength within you to the other, a holy fire will glow through you, for you know what is at stake, you also know that the end is near and that My coming is also to be expected soon. And this will strengthen your courage so that you will joyfully confess that you belong to Me, that you would also be willing to lay down your life if I demanded it of you. But I want to grant you My protection because I need you, because many weak souls shall still be lifted up by you, because you shall proclaim Me as your divine redeemer, Whom all people need if they want to become blessed. For My adversary wants to eradicate this faith from people, that is his last aim on this earth which he strives for and tries to achieve by brutal means. And therefore you should stand up for Jesus Christ, you should loudly confess His name before the world .... And you will also be able to do so, for anyone of living faith is also strong and fearless in the face of the world, anyone of living faith also has knowledge and can therefore also make the right decision, for he knows what hour has come .... He knows that the time will come when My adversary will be bound again because he openly opposes the faith in God in Jesus Christ and thereby exceeds his authority. And therefore you humans should strive to attain a living faith, you should live a life of love which alone gives birth to living faith, and you should awaken the spiritual spark in you to life through love, which will then also give you a bright light so that you will recognize and living faith will then also be the result of recognition .... Prepare yourselves for this time, for it requires great strength from you. And therefore also request this strength beforehand, for I will bless everyone who only has the will to belong to Me and to remain Mine forever .... He will truly then also receive the strength from Me to endure until the end, and he will joyfully confess My name before the world .... And he will belong to those who experience the end and whom I will rapture so that he may experience the joys of paradise on the new earth, for then all struggle will come to an end, there will be peace on earth and harmony and bliss ...._>Amen

Public confession during the battle of faith ....

B.D. 8727 from January 16th 1964, taken from Book No. 92

You, who will experience the time of the battle of faith, will be subject to great demands when you have to decide for or against Me .... For you will have to confess publicly, and that means that you either have to deny Me completely or stand up for Me with conviction. And you will be forced by brutal means to make a decision, which you will fear if your faith in Me is not strong enough so that you will only ever abide in Me with full trust, and I will not disappoint your faith. Precisely this battle of faith will still have to be waged before the end, because only then will the separation of the goats from the sheep take place, for then the flock of My Own will have emerged whom My adversary will be unable to sway because they possess a living faith and are not mere Christians who only adhere to formalities, who will fail in the final battle. The enemy's coercive measures will indeed be such that people believe that they must comply if they want to go on living .... yet anyone with a living faith knows that everything is possible to Me, that I can even maintain people beyond the law, since nothing is impossible for Me and since for the believer it is no longer compulsive faith. However, you must not reach a compromise by believing that you can preserve Me in your hearts and deny Me in public, for I have demanded that you profess Me before the world so that I then will also be able to acknowledge you in the kingdom of the beyond.

My adversary will use unusual procedures in order to repeal Me, or so he believes, and this is the time when all power will be taken from him again, because he is only using it against Me and oversteps his authority as soon as he wants to render Me ineffective .... You will have to muster a great deal of strength, yet this strength will flow to My Own, they will draw strength from their strong faith; they know that I Am present to them, and this conviction will also enable them to openly stand up for Me and My name. Regardless of how fierce the attacks will be, regardless of how brutal the proceedings .... with My support you will be able to endure everything, for I will not abandon you, if only you have the will to persevere until the end. I know what you are capable of bearing, and accordingly you will be surrounded by My angels, who will protect you in this final battle. Just do not deceive yourselves in believing that I Am satisfied when you confess Me in your hearts, for you shall give evidence of your living faith in Me, which can only ever be produced by My Own whose faith has come alive through a life of love .... But any Christian who merely observes formalities, who lives without love despite the fact that he belongs to a church organisation, will be thrown into doubt about his former outlook and faith, and he will quickly give up his faith for the sake of earthly advantages.

And this will be the greatest temptation which people will ever have had to endure .... that all livelihood will be withheld from them if they remain faithful to Me .... whereas, on the other hand, everything will be granted to them and they will gain worldly advantages if they deny Me .... which will not be too difficult for most people since their faith had not yet come alive and therefore everything appears to be doubtful to them now. For My adversary knows how to confuse all spiritual correlations, and lack of love also means lack of realisation .... And without a second thought people will renounce what they so far possessed .... a dead Christendom, and more than ever turn towards the world which fully makes up for what they had surrendered .... And then the separation will have taken place, for then there will only be two camps .... utterly devoted people to Me, which also enjoy My evident protection, and a host of unbelievers adhering to My adversary who will soon experience the last Judgement, which will conclude the battle of faith .... For I will come Myself in order to fetch My Own and carry out the transformation of the earth's surface, which means the banishment of people who fail in the last battle on this earth ....

God's protection in the battle of faith ....

B.D. 7954 from August 1st 1961, taken from Book No. 83

Thus stand firm and don't let your faith waver, for I, your God and Father of eternity, Am and remain with you when the great battle of faith begins by which My adversary also wants to cause the downfall of you who are My Own. Everything undertaken against Me will always aim to render Jesus Christ and His act of Salvation implausible to you .... And the fact that Jesus Christ will be denied, that people shall be deprived of all faith in Him and that they therefore shall have no opportunity to depart from this earth in a redeemed state shall be taken by you as an obvious sign of the approaching end .... For My adversary will openly challenge Me by attacking Jesus Christ in Whom I became a visible God for humanity.

And the more intense this battle erupts the more you can be assured of My presence, for I will not abandon My Own, I will not let My adversary be victorious over those who want to be and remain My Own. And when you are thus cornered by the requirement to deny Me as the divine Redeemer Jesus Christ .... when you have to choose between Me and My adversary, then just put all your trust in Me as then I will be closer to you than ever; I Myself will fight with you and you need not fear My adversary, for My power is supreme and will protect you, no matter how threatening the undertakings against you may look. But then you can expect your deliverance within hours, you can count on My coming within hours and the end of the world, whence I will remove you at the height of affliction and danger ....

Do not become doubtful then, but remember that I have foretold you that you will still have to endure great tribulations for the sake of your faith ....Yet the stronger your faith and the more confidently you abide by Me, the easier will be the battle of faith for you, for I truly have the power at My disposal to avert even the worst from you, and My Own shall experience My love and power and therefore can confidently and fearlessly look ahead to this time. But it will come, for the believers will come under attack by earthly authorities and those who are enslaved by My adversary .... My Own will have to give public testimony and should not be frightened, for the God Whom they acknowledge will also reveal His power and help them in earthly adversity and distress ....

Just be prepared that brutal measures will be used against you, who want to remain loyal to Me .... But don't forget that I Am Lord over life and death, over heaven and earth .... and that I truly have means and ways to lead My Own out of earthly hardship, even if it seems as if there is no way out. And whatever earthly things will be denied to you .... I will miraculously feed you and quench your thirst, for that, too, is within My power, after all, I created heaven and earth, I made all laws according to My will .... and thus I can also abolish laws and nourish you supernaturally .... I can also surround you with a protective barrier, I can instruct My angels to form such a barrier around you ....

You only have to faithfully entrust yourselves to Me, your Father, Who will not leave His children in peril and Who will protect you from the enemy of your soul, from earthly and spiritual opponents .... For My might and My love is great .... And this will happen in the near future .... Yet prior to this you will still be subjected to tests of faith but these, too, will strengthen and enable you to stand firm in the last battle on this earth. And as soon as this conflict flares up you will also know that the end is not far away, for My adversary will only wage war for a short time, because for the sake of My chosen people I will shorten the time, I will bind him as well as his supporters. For the time he was granted for his activities on earth is fulfilled and the end of the earth is near, as it is proclaimed in Word and Scripture ....

"He who confesses Me before the world ...."

B.D. 3623 from December 8th 1945, taken from Book No. 46

Whoever confesses Me before the world, him I will also confess before My father .... And thus you will be forced by the world, by worldly-minded people, to confess Me or to deny Me. And then you must stand firm; you must know that I likewise demand this confession and decide for Me or the world. For you cannot enter the father’s kingdom if you have not confessed your allegiance to Him on earth. This decision is demanded of you so that My working in My own will become evident. It is the last opportunity for those who are still undecided, who are weak-willed, to join you if they recognize the strength that lies in faith in Me and My name. Furthermore, the small circle of those who stand up for Me shall be separated from those who deny Me, and this can only happen through open confession before the world, so that those who want to remain faithful to Me unite and those who stand against Me in the last battle on this earth are recognizable. For the small flock of believers must promise each other comfort and strength, they must refresh themselves with the source of grace which My love has made accessible to them for this difficult time, and they must consciously await the end, My coming and the last judgment. Anyone who openly confesses before the world carries the sign of the cross before him, and under this sign he will also be victorious, even though the adversary's camp seems to be far superior to him. And the heavenly father prepares a dwelling place for him in His kingdom .... I will bring him in Myself on the day of judgment, I will confess him before My father as He confessed Me before the world ....

Amen

Christ’s return

Strength of the divine Word .... Prophet .... The Lord's return ....

B.D. 2797 from July 4th 1943, taken from Book No. 37

Everyone will noticeably feel the strength of the divine Word when the last days come. Many threads lead from the kingdom of the beyond to earth, God conveys His Word to people everywhere who partly hear it mentally or as the inner voice, and His Word will give strength to people everywhere. But even where the directly imparted Word is conveyed to fellow human beings it will make them stronger if they devoutly accept it and allow themselves to be affected by it. For it is certain that God will not leave His Own without help at a time when afflictions and adversities are rife and which requires tremendous strength. And therefore He blesses His Word with His strength so that all who hear it become aware of this strength if they believe. God's adversary will exercise all his power and try to pull everything down that won't offer him resistance. However, the Word of God is the best defence against him, the Word of God protects a person from his onslaughts, since God Himself is with the person in His Word and the enemy is powerless against Him.

If the human being believes then he will not need to fear anything, irrespective of what will happen to him. The world will certainly use any means in order to shake his faith, it will want to force him into renouncing it, yet God's Word is stronger than the world .... Anyone in possession of it will ignore its voice, for he is closer to God than to the world and is permeated by His strength, but the human being will also remain in contact with God through His Word. In the last days, however, someone will appear who will loudly and distinctly preach the Word of God to people .... he will be guided by God's spirit and God's spirit will express itself through him. His Words will be impressive and even within the adversary's ranks not remain without effect .... Those who belong to the world will pursue him but be unable to harm him until his mission on earth has been fulfilled. He will proclaim the Lord's second coming, he will reproach people's way of life and inform them of things which are new to them, he will encourage them to love and criticize their heartlessness with sharp words; his speeches will be forthright and aim to win people over for the kingdom of God.

And the strength coming forth from his words will verify the truth of what he is preaching. God Himself will speak through the mouth of His servant on earth and many will recognise His voice .... Yet eventually he will be captured, for Satan will incite the people who are enslaved by him to seize him. Then the Lord's coming will be imminent, for then the heartlessness on earth will have reached its peak and even the believers will be at great risk of beginning to waver. Then the Lord Himself will come to take His Own home, to save them from the enmity of those who are enslaved by the darkness .... And things will come to pass which are beyond people's imagination ....

Amen

The process of Christ's return .... Ascension ....

B.D. 4847 from February 26th 1950, taken from Book No. 55

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

Amen

"I am with you all the days .... "

B.D. 8363 from December 26th 1962, taken from Book No. 88

"I am with you always, even to the end .... "You are never abandoned, even if you are burdened with earthly hardship, for there is always one Who is ready to help you .... I always walk beside you as soon as you only allow My presence, as soon as you consciously request My guidance. Hence you yourselves determine whether I can stay with you, for as soon as inner resistance is still put up against Me I withdraw, i.e. you will then not be able to feel My love either, even if it never gives up on you .... But I have promised you that I will remain with you until the end. And you can truly believe this promise, because every word that flows out of My mouth is truth .... But if I am with you, you need not fear any disaster either, for I can avert it and also want to avert it if you unite with Me through prayer and activity of love. Thus you, who want to belong to My own, are constantly under My care .... And I constantly give you proof of this by speaking to you as a father speaks to his children .... I admonish and warn you, I make My will known to you and inform you about My nature so that love for Me will ignite in you which then also guarantees My constant presence .... But you will experience what it means to be present to you in the coming time when it will storm and roar around you, when you will have to go through a time of tribulation because it has to come for the sake of the whole of humanity if individual people are still to be saved from ruin .... You, who are Mine, will certainly constantly experience My protection and My help, but the magnitude of the adversity will also demand a strong faith from you, otherwise you will not be able to withstand the tribulations you are exposed to by My adversary and in which you shall prove yourselves .... You need not fear this time of adversity, for as soon as you commend yourselves to Me, as soon as you call upon Me, I will always be present to you, for I promised you this when I Myself walked across the earth .... Only allow this presence of Mine to be with you by asking for it, by not allowing yourselves to be captured by the world, which will approach you overpoweringly with its temptations .... But you would make a bad exchange, for it is transient, just as everything that is around you will very soon fall prey to destruction, as it is announced through word and scripture .... And what people possess they will lose and stand poor and naked on the day of judgment. But you can always know yourselves to be safe in My protection, and your possessions will truly be imperishable; they will secure your entrance into the kingdom of light if you depart before the end of this earth .... or enter a life in the paradise of the new earth, which you will then enter with great wealth and can now work in bliss. And then you will be allowed to experience Me Myself, then My promise will obviously come true, for 'I will stay with you ....‘ because you show Me the love which makes My presence with you humans possible .... Always remember these words of Mine and don't be afraid whatever may come, for I have foretold to you that a time of tribulation will pass over the earth which heralds the near end and which also has to be endured by My own .... but the strength to do so will be supplied to you at any time .... And you should acquire much strength beforehand, you should always open yourselves to Me and allow My presence in you so that your faith will become unshakeable and you will no longer let go of My hand which guides you and lovingly leads you through all adversity .... And if you do not leave Me out of your thoughts I will not leave you either, I will fill you with extraordinary strength in every hour so that you will feel My presence and constantly give Me more love which will unite you ever more intimately with Me .... for one redemption period will be concluded and a new one will begin, as I have predicted from the beginning of this period through seers and prophets .... And everything will come to pass, for My word is truth .... And this word of Mine you can hear until the end, for I remain with you, and My presence is proven by My address to you who desire to hear Me, who want to be and remain Mine for all eternity ....

Amen

Rapture

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

B.D. 3557 from September 24th 1945, taken from Book No. 45

An unusual roar will fill the air as the Day of Judgment arrives. And this will be the last sign for people, yet it will only be recognised as such by the believers, which will cause them great joy. For then they will be anticipating the coming of the Lord .... It requires a strong faith to expect God to be coming in the clouds, for this is such an extraordinary process that godless people just ridicule and make fun of it when it is mentioned to them. They will indeed hear the sound, too, yet they won't see the Lord in the clouds and thus take little notice of the unusual noise in the air and won't let themselves be distracted from their lives .... exuberantly and without scruples they will continue to enjoy themselves. The faithful, however, will get together and, with a happy heart, prepare themselves to receive the Lord. They will have reached the limit of their physical endurance and know that their time of suffering has come to an end, and in the final hour they will unanimously profess their faith in God although it will mean the loss of their earthly life, because they will be mercilessly attacked by the world. Yet the appearance of the Lord will thwart the plans of their godless pursuers .... For suddenly they will see the believers being lifted off the ground and rising into the air .... At the same time there will be a sound of dreadful thunder and people will realise with dismay that something dreadful is going to happen. Paralysed by the unusual process of the rapture they will be unable to think, they will try to flee and see the same everywhere .... flames of fire bursting through the earth from which there is no escape. And their life will end in a most dreadful way, for the people who rage on earth like devils and are rife with sin cannot be saved.

But the flock of the faithful will witness the end of the old earth; the divine work of destruction will take place before their eyes, while they will have escaped and will be safe and secure in a place of peace, as promised by God. This will be the end of one period of Salvation and the start of a new one as soon as the old earth is shaped anew through God's will. Then the faithful will continue to live as the root of the new human race and the new period of Salvation will begin. The process of rapture is only understandable and therefore credible to a knowing and profoundly enlightened person, yet it will be the culmination of an anxious time of hardship and suffering, it will be the conclusion and the evidence of God's glory, Who will also prepare a fate for His Own which testifies of His glory .... It will be an act of profoundly divine love for His living creations who will recognise in Him their Father of eternity, who will have returned to Him and become as one with Him through love .... with whom He will then be able to stay because divine love meets with no obstacle once the human being has become love himself ....

Amen

Rapture ....

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

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

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

Amen

Faith comes alive through love ....

B.D. 8816 from June 21st 1964, taken from Book No. 93

All I can say to you is that you will only gain a strong and unwavering faith through a life of love, for love unites you with Me and subsequently will convince you of My strength which is at your disposal to use in accordance with your will. And thus you are constantly admonished by Me to shape yourselves to love so that you will once again adapt your nature to Mine, then all your abilities will return to you as well, which are merely buried within you waiting to break through again, depending on the degree of love you develop .... However, if you make use of My strength in the belief that this strength of Mine lets you cope with everything then your soul's degree of maturity is already high, and then it becomes evident what you can achieve, for I do not deny you My strength .... after all, I want to give you everything so as to help you become perfect and I take pity on you in your weakness. Nevertheless, I cannot work in you contrary to My eternal order .... This working simply requires a living faith which only comes alive through love. And this is the faith you need in order to cope with the onslaughts of the last battle, for only then will you prove whether you support Me or fall away when you are put under pressure ....

Even so, I will make sure that My Own will rely on Me, that their strength of faith will keep growing, that they will be able to draw strength from Me, Who will be so close to them that they can sense Me and no longer do anything without My instruction .... And then the strength of faith will reveal itself .... they shall receive what they need, be it earthly food that is denied to them by hostile forces .... or be it My Word which will strengthen them in abundance. Then their faith will be strong enough to profess Me before the world .... and thus they will also prove themselves in the last battle of faith, so that they will belong to the flock of those who will be lifted away, who believe that everything is possible which proves My existence. This is why they are not astounded by the process of the rapture, for their faith accepts everything that is beyond the law of nature, that is miraculous, and thus also the new earth with all the creations which did not exist on the old earth, whose magnificence and glory is incomparable.

Hence I have great expectations of those who want to be My Own: with the help of My Word they will still have to fortify their faith to a point that enables them to stand firm, for never before has a battle like this taken place on earth, and it will require much strength in order to endure it .... But I want to help you by speaking to you Myself and revealing My infinite love which only seeks to attract your reciprocation in order to provide you with the strength to remain steadfast. And the reward I promise you in return will be a life in the paradise of the new earth, a life in association with Me, Who can always be present where love exists since only love can be the foundation of a living faith .... This is why the first and last commandment will only ever be 'Love God above all else and your neighbour as yourself ....' Then you fulfil your earthly task and one day will be able to enter the kingdom of light and beatitude, and you will be able to behold God ....

Amen

Last judgement

‘They ate and drank ....’ just as it was before the Flood ....

B.D. 4575 from February 28th 1949, taken from Book No. 53

As the end comes closer it will become again as it was before the great flood. People will be seized by an increased lust for life and be influenced by the world with all its attractions. People will no longer be able nor want to control themselves and will therefore unscrupulously enjoy life in sinfulness. For they will not desire harmless pleasures, instead, sin will prevail everywhere, selfish love will displace all neighbourly love and thus people will become sinful by harming their fellow human beings merely to satisfy their body’s every wish. Other people’s possessions will not be respected and thus all laws will be violated. The increased pleasure of life will stifle the voice of conscience and what the world has to offer will be relished to the full .... The world, however, is My adversary’s realm and thus only bad can come from the world, it can only denote a danger for the soul, for the satisfaction granted to the body must be atoned for by the soul, it must pay for what the body demands. People may therefore seemingly delight in the pleasure, only those belonging to My Own will know which hour has struck when people seek to intoxicate themselves in the ecstasy of pleasure. Then the end will be very near, for I have long announced to you already that it will be like before the great flood .... They ate and drank, they married and were given in marriage and took no notice of the admonitions and warnings from above. And it will be difficult to preach the Gospel to these people, for since they only pay attention to and aim for earthly life they lack all understanding for spiritual life, and therefore they mock and ridicule every bearer of truth who will try to convert them. Yet in the midst of euphoria comes the last Judgment .... It will be dreadful for all who look upon the world as their God, for they will fall from the height into the abyss, from joy into immense fear, they will fall from heaven into hell .... For the world and its attractions was their heaven, but the world will be destroyed .... and harshest incarceration will be the fate of those who used their freedom on earth wrongly, who live in sin and also die in sin. Beware of the world for it is a great danger for you .... at the moment it certainly still offers much that is desirable yet it is better that you refrain from it and strive toward the heavenly joys which come afterwards, and do without, so that you can enjoy the delights of heaven in all abundance. Don’t belong to those who only love themselves and want to provide the body with every pleasure. The euphoria is short-lived, yet it will be followed by a dreadful awakening, as it is announced in Word and Scripture .... The human race, however, is in great danger, for it is already dazzled by the world’s deceptive light, and it will not stand still in its demands but it will increase them .... It aims with giant strides towards the final end .... it seeks life and will find death, it seeks joy and walks into ruin ....

Amen

The last judgment ....

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

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

Amen

Destruction of earth is the result of experiments ....

B.D. 8624 from September 23rd 1963, taken from Book No. 90

The final work of the earth's destruction will be triggered by you humans yourselves. And I will not stop you, because I also consider the spiritual substance which, as a result of this work of destruction, will be liberated from matter and able to continue its process of development in new forms on the new earth. You have been informed of this several times already and yet have little belief, for the whole event is simply unimaginable to you. Nevertheless, it is the conclusion of a period of development which will lead to a new period, so that the work of return can once again successfully proceed in lawful order, which was no longer evident before the destruction of the old earth. My adversary completes his last satanic work by influencing people to do something which he has no power to do himself: to destroy works of creation .... in the belief of thereby releasing the constrained spirits and taking control of them. He manipulates people and induces them to carry out all kinds of experiments which, however, will fail with devastating effect due to peoples' lack of knowledge. For people dare to experiment without having explored the outcome .... they will unleash forces they cannot control and consequently are doomed to die. And with them the creation work earth, too, will be subject to enormous destructions .... The entire earth's surface will totally change, all works of creation on earth will fall prey to destruction, the effects will penetrate to the core of the earth, and thus one can speak of a destruction of enormous proportions although people themselves will not be able to observe it, apart from the small flock which I will lead away from earth beforehand into a realm of peace.

I Myself would never allow such destruction if I would not thereby gain new opportunities of salvation for the still constrained spiritual substance, which has already languished for an infinitely long time in hardest matter .... Yet continued development would also be possible for this spiritual substance if people did not reverse the lawful order and always just lived up to their helpful task on earth .... But people no longer live within divine order, and therefore My adversary exerts great influence over them and impels them to start a process in the hope of gaining the return of the constrained spirits to him. And I will not stop him, since it still depends on every person's own free will to comply with My adversary's inducement .... Nevertheless, regardless of what people do, I will always know how to utilise the effects of their actions correctly. For even the world of darkness is subject to Me and My might, and it will have to serve Me while at the same time taking part in My work of return, if only unconsciously. But I have always known the direction of humanity's will and I was able to incorporate it in My plan of Salvation .... I know when the moment in time has come when spiritual progress can no longer be expected ....

I also know when the time has come to liberate the constrained spiritual substances, and therefore will not prevent people's activity when they set an enormous work of destruction into motion due to their misguided will, which aims for My adversary, and thus people are his willing instruments. For he himself is unable to destroy any work of creation, he cannot dissolve any kind of matter and all power over the spirits has been taken away from him. This is why he tries to regain it, and people who belong to him contribute themselves towards the disintegration of matter .... at first through countless experiments which then take on proportions which matter can no longer withstand .... But I allow the spirits captivated therein to be set free, if only at the expense of humanity, which itself has reached a spiritual low that requires a new banishment into matter .... And irrespective of what My adversary and the people who belong to him will undertake .... in the final analysis it will nevertheless serve the progress of the spiritual substances again, which is meant to reach perfection one day. Therefore My plan of Salvation will surely be implemented, as it is proclaimed in Word and Scripture ....

Amen

The end .... Transformation and new creation ....

B.D. 6230 from April 6th 1955, taken from Book No. 67

And it will come to pass as I have told you .... the earth will lose its present appearance, an earthly and spiritual turning point will come, there will be a separation of the sheep from the goats .... My Own will attain beatitude and those who belong to My adversary will be banished again .... And this will have to happen or no further development would be possible anymore, for all souls strive towards the abyss except the few people who will remain true to Me until the end. But the people of the present time, who have already passed through the creations, will have taken the whole previous path of development in vain .... they, who have already reached the highest stage of development due to their previous earthly path, are now failing during the last stage and descend to such a point that the entrance into the spiritual kingdom will remain closed to them .... so that they will have to be banished into hardest matter in order to be admitted once again to take their last test of will as a human being after an infinitely long period of time ....

The number of those who use their earthly life correctly in order to become perfect is very small, since My adversary's spirit exercises such poisonous influence on all earthly inhabitants that the earth will have to be cleansed first before it can fulfil its real purpose again .... And thus I want to carry out this cleansing process through a huge work of transformation which mankind cannot avoid, since they give rise to it themselves with their conduct and their utterly rebellious attitude towards Me. A change has to take place for the sake of My living creations which will have to suffer for an infinitely long time if they don't complete their path of development on earth according to My will .... And this point in time has arrived, although it seems unbelievable to you humans that something should happen in creation, in nature, for which no proof of similar events on earth exists ....

The earth in its present form is in the last days of its existence .... None of you can possibly grasp what this means .... that everything will cease to exist .... that human beings, animals and all works of creation will come to an end and an entirely new earth will arise which will exceed your wildest imagination, because completely new works of creation will come into being which have never been seen by human eyes and which to you, who will experience and populate the new earth, will mean one miracle after another .... All through the ages I have told people that a new earth and a new heaven will come into being .... People failed to understand the meaning of it. But My Word is truth and will fulfil itself .... yet it will only be proof of My Divinity to the few whose profound faith in Me made them become My Own and to whom I can open the paradise of the new earth because they are and will remain My children forever .... These few also understand the meaning of My Words and they will expect Me and My arrival in the firm belief that I will rescue them from the adversity which precedes the final end. For they are My children and I will come for them when the time is fulfilled ....

Amen

World renewal .... "No stone will be left unturned ...."

B.D. 3330 from November 14th 1944, taken from Book No. 43

The renewal of the world can only begin when the old world is completely destroyed, and thus the word will also be fulfilled: "Not one stone will be left upon another." This is to be understood spiritually and earthly, a total spiritual upheaval will take place, and therefore a spiritual disruption, a state of dissolution, must also occur first, just as nothing will remain in existence earthly which was before. And both will be accomplished by human will itself. Earthly creations will be destroyed by human will, earthly institutions and circumstances will be untenable and thus many earthly changes will be made which will finally have the effect of the dissolution of matter. And this dissolution will also be observed spiritually, for initially all schools of thought will go against each other, one will be opposed by the other, the earthly authorities will take action against each one, and finally the battle of faith will break out which wants to make all spiritual striving impossible .... People want to eradicate all faith in something imperishable, spiritual and in a higher power .... And God also allows this, because all this must precede the spiritual change, because something new is to emerge from the chaos, something pure, purified, strong spiritual, and this requires the final destruction and dissolution of the old world .... Not one stone will be left upon another .... If the human being is attentive he recognizes the decay and therefore he also knows that the end is not far away. And even if everything threatens to sink into spiritual and earthly chaos, the human being should save himself from it, he should stand firm and not let this decay spread to himself. And even if everything around him sinks, he should keep his head above water; he should always stretch out his hands upwards, he should let himself be drawn by divine fatherly love so that he will not sink when everything sinks .... He should want from the bottom of his heart to experience the new world, to emerge unscathed from the spiritual and earthly chaos, healthy in his soul and full of hope for a new time which is spiritually and earthly peaceful, because God Himself is close to the people who survive this last time of dissolution .... For the evil will perish, it will no longer be able to rage on earth and thus will also no longer afflict people who are united with God through love .... And therefore the world will renew itself, it will no longer be the old earth, for not one stone will remain upon another, and the old earth must undergo this process of transformation, it must become a new earth, also purely materially, creations must pass away and new ones arise, because the spiritual renewal also necessitates a renewal of earthly creations at the same time .... nothing can remain as it was before because a new purpose is assigned to the creations and therefore the old creation has to completely dissolve according to God's eternal plan of salvation .... Everything will be changed but will not perish eternally, it will take on a different form because the old form no longer fulfils its purpose .... And this has to happen because it has been determined since eternity .... and because humanity's will has reached a point where it is far more destructive than constructive, and this is a violation of divine order. Therefore this must have such an effect that earthly and spiritual chaos arises, and this is the end of the old earth .... But out of this comes a new world .... a world of peace, a spiritual and earthly paradise .... in which love reigns, because the eternal love Itself dwells amongst people who remained faithful to It even in the most difficult battle ....

Amen

New banishment

God's warning of torments of new banishment ....

B.D. 6694 from November 20th 1956, taken from Book No. 72

And eternities can pass until your souls have found their way home to Me; but it is certain that they will return to Me one day. But these words should not make you humans lukewarm in your spiritual striving, you should not .... in the certainty that one day you will reach the aim after all and not be eternally lost .... through this earthly life indifferently and neglect your soul's work, for you don't know how agonizing the time is for you which is granted to failing souls after this life on earth. For it is the time of the end, and it signifies your death .... if you are not called away prematurely .... something different than before. For the spiritual kingdom is closed to you after the end of this earth, which otherwise received the souls who departed from earth and who could still continue their maturing process in the spiritual kingdom if they were willing to do so .... But now, after the end of this earth, a completely different period of development begins, the order which is My eternal law will be re-established everywhere, and this also means a new incarnation for all spiritual substances .... beginning with the banishment into solid matter and the incorporation of what was previously bound in it into the process of development, which continues to progress .... All immature spiritual substances are, as it were, incarnated again in the most diverse new creations of this earth, and for the spiritual kingdom too it is a time of peace and tranquillity, because the dark forces can now no longer wage battle, for they too are banished in form .... My adversary is in shackles, for his followers are bound. And thus you know that you will face a dreadful fate after the end of this earth, even if you are certain that one day you will be released from all torment and allowed to be blissfully happy. But you should not overlook the time until then, and therefore you should do everything in order to find Me before then. For you will still spend eternities at a distance from Me .... Yet through your own fault, for I constantly convey the knowledge to you humans but only very few accept it. And the days go by and remain unused. And you can believe that you will be eternally grateful to Me for the most severe suffering if it has led you to a different way of thinking, if you have found Me through the suffering before the end. But suffering is only the only means left, suffering can be a blessing for you if it makes you realize that you have to change before it is too late. My love does not want people to suffer, but My love wants to spare you an immeasurably long time of suffering through small suffering, for I know the extent of torments, and what I will still let come upon you on earth in order to achieve your transformation can only be called tiny compared to those torments. But the hardened human hearts cannot be moved in any other way than through extreme adversity .... And therefore such hardship has to come if I still want to win over a few, even if you humans will not be able to understand that I keep silent about everything people do to each other, or when I Myself harshly touch people through events of a natural nature .... I allow much, for this hardship on earth will soon come to an end .... But the hardship of the souls who do not find their way to Me will last an infinitely long time again. Once you will certainly end up with Me, but do you want to prolong the time of distance from Me, the time of unhappiness, which is the result of distancing yourselves from God? Whereas it is already possible for you to bring it to an end now on this earth? I urgently implore you to believe these words and go into yourselves .... Just let your thoughts wander into infinity for once, so that you may receive enlightenment which you think you cannot believe .... And truly, I will listen to your request, I Myself will take hold of you and help you to take the right path before the end, the path which leads to Me and to eternal bliss ....

Amen

New banishment inevitable for the adversary's followers ....

B.D. 8430 from March 5th 1963, taken from Book No. 89

My eyes rest full of pity on the degenerated human race which is controlled by My adversary and unwilling to pull itself away from him. It has willingly surrendered to him and thereby denies Me the right to intervene effectively, for I will not proceed against My adversary's will, since you want to belong to him yourselves. Yet he keeps drawing you ever further down, he is preparing your downfall, for you will fall back to the depths from which you started your process of development across earth and had to pass through all creations in order to one day finally exist as a human being. And now the same fate will be granted to you, since this is what you want and you are doing nothing to escape from his power. And even though this information is presented to you, you don't want to believe it, and there is almost no other way left to change your thinking unless the tremendous affliction, which will befall the entire earth before the end, can still achieve it. As long as you are able to think there is still the possibility that you will spend some thought on yourselves, that you will consider the death of your body and wonder what will happen afterwards .... Yet by and large you will dismiss such thoughts, you don't believe in anything at all and assume that you will cease to exist when your body dies.

But you are hugely mistaken and will have to pay heavily for this mistake, however, you refuse to accept a truthful explanation and cannot be forcibly influenced either. And faced by a serious crisis you just revolt against the power which inflicts this on you, for as soon as you are in serious trouble you gladly blame someone else for it, even if you yourselves deny a God and Creator .... Yet you cannot stop misfortunes and have no option but to acknowledge a power which is stronger than you are .... Consequently, such strokes of fate and extraordinarily severe adversity are the only means left which could still change your way of thinking, and I have to use them in view of the end and considering the fate, which I would like to avert from you .... Don't feel sorry for people who suddenly have to depart from this life, for they will still be able to find some light in the beyond, if they are not already completely enslaved by My adversary and then also sink into the abyss in order to be banished into matter yet again .... But woe to those who will experience the end without having changed their conduct of life, their thinking and their unbelief .... They cannot be saved anymore, and even the greatest mercy on My part, My infinite love for all My living creations, will be unable to avert the fate of a new banishment for them, because it is the only option for the soul to attain perfection one day when, after an infinitely long time, it lives on earth as a human being again and consciously travels the path to Me in order to become liberated from every form.

And this new banishment amounts to a deed of love on My part, because I will seize this soul from My adversary's power and subordinate it to My will again. And as a human being it will only be able to release itself from him if it consciously calls upon Jesus Christ to be redeemed .... And since people on earth no longer believe in Him and appeal to Him for help, they cannot be released from the adversary's control either, and he invariably will pull them down into his domain .... Yet you humans have free will and thus are just as able to direct it towards the divine Redeemer as to him .... and you would be saved for eternity .... Since you don't do so you will consequently also have to accept the results of your opposing will towards Me.

But time and again I will impart the relevant information to you, I will speak to every one of you through the voice of conscience, and I will make him realise the fleeting nature of all worldly pleasures and commodities, I will let him personally experience suffering and adversity .... And finally I will speak to him through the elements of nature .... Yet I will not force his will, and therefore he only has to blame himself for the fate he is approaching .... I would like to bestow him with unlimited happiness .... He himself, however, chooses the state of wretchedness, the state of utter torment and of being constrained. And thus he will receive what he desires, for his inclination toward earthly matter will result in his own banishment into hardest matter again. For although I have every power at My disposal, I will not forcibly influence the will of a self-aware being or I would be in breach of My law of order, which will never be possible .... Yet I will speak to people until the end, and anyone who pays attention to My Words will be saved from the fate of a new banishment, and he will thank Me eternally that My love pursued him until he changed himself ....

Amen

Fatherwords ....

B.D. 2765 from June 5th 1943, taken from Book No. 34/35/36

That you profess Me is My desire, which you can certainly fulfil for Me if you are willing. Your heart should impel you to strive towards Me and then follow the desire of your heart, listen to the voice within you, for it is I Myself Who speaks to you, Who manifests Himself in the desire of your heart. It is the spirit within you that is My share and that longs for its father-spirit. And you should let it speak, and if you listen to My voice, if you do what it tells you to do, you will soon recognize Me as your father and also learn to love Me .... My love draws you and stays with you from now on. And My love will guide and direct you, you will not be able to escape My influence, it will urge you to seek Me and thus I will also let Myself be found. And therefore take note: If I knock at your hearts, open up to Me, let Me in and don't reject Me, for I alone will bring you peace; there is another one knocking at your heart's door with Me who also wants to enter .... it is My adversary, it is the world with its pleasures that wants to drown out My voice and demands to be heard by you. Do not allow yourselves to be beguiled by it, distance yourselves from the pleasures of this world, only pay attention to Me, what I promise you, for My word is truth, My words bring you the peace which the world cannot give you .... Receive Me into your heart and know that once you have felt My nearness and have been seized by My love you will no longer ask Me away. For I am your father and long for you, for My children .... therefore you also strive for union with Me, Who has loved you from the beginning ....

Amen

The new earth

Behold, I make all things new ....'

B.D. 5235 from October 14th 1951, taken from Book No. 58

I make all things new .... Those of you humans who are as yet unenlightened, who have not yet awakened the spirit within you, do not know the meaning of My Words, for you do not believe in a transformation of this earth, you do not believe in the Last Judgment, in the end of one period of development and the beginning of a new one .... You do not know anything about My eternal plan of Salvation and therefore do not understand My Words either: Behold, I make all things new .... Each of My Words has several meanings which are not even known to My enlightened Own, for this understanding is still too profound for the people of this earth, yet they are aware of the simple meaning, that I will renew what has left My eternal order ....

I want to make a change, since the people of this earth are no longer striving for one and therefore miss the purpose of their earthly life. They have failed by not using their lives for eternity. Nevertheless, I will not let them get lost and therefore will give them the opportunity to cover the neglected process of development again, yet not as a repeat but in a completely different way .... For another process of development is an increased bestowal of grace and has to be acquired through increased effort, the opportunity of which is offered by completely new creations. Thus, first I will renew the school for the spirit, My earth, which shall support the development up to that of the human being.

I will provide it with entirely new creations of such diverse kind and shape that extremely large numbers of spiritual substances will have the opportunity to prove themselves therein. And I will let a new human generation arise, which will emerge from people who are blessed by Me, who will have completed their spiritual development with love and loyalty to Me, who will have attained a degree of maturity which permits exalted spiritual care, so that the new human generation will have every guarantee to achieve the highest possible spiritual perfection and the bound spirits, too, will be able to achieve maturity quickly, due to the exceptionally good influence exerted by people on all nearby creations .... I make all things new; I will also ease the conditions to release the spiritual substances yet without deviating from My law of eternal order, only caring for what is still living in constraint with profound love and mercy. Everything depressing will leave people, they will strive to ascend with full strength, because I alone will be the most Desirable for them and they will not be able to be pulled into the abyss by My adversary, who will be bound for a long time ....

I shall make a new heaven and a new earth .... that is, spiritually and earthly I will give happiness to the people who then will belong to Me and who shall also smooth the way for those who will follow them .... Which one of you humans can comprehend this? And which one of you humans believes firmly and without doubt that the old things will cease to be? That even people who are still distant from Me will cease to exist, that only the small flock which faithfully follows Me as their shepherd will not lose its life, because I have blessed this small flock and destined it for a continued life in the paradise of the new earth .... that a new period of Redemption will begin in accordance with My eternal plan of Salvation, which My love and wisdom have determined in order to ensure eternal life for the spirits? Behold, I make all things new .... Those of you who believe in Me remember these Words, consider them in your hearts and know, that the time has come when My Word will fulfil itself .... Believe firmly in it and be hopeful, and endure all difficulties you will still encounter until the end with patience and submission to My will. For the day will come very soon when I will fetch My Own to reveal the paradise to them of which it is written: 'I will make a new heaven and a new earth ....' and I Myself will dwell amongst My Own and will guide and teach them, as I have promised ....

Amen

Paradise state on new earth ....

B.D. 7966 from August 13th 1961, taken from Book No. 83

I want to establish a new kingdom, a kingdom where I alone rule, where My adversary is eliminated for a long time, where there is peace and order again, where only love rules and thus I Myself can be with people because their state of love allows it and because they have passed their test of faith and will and now belong to Me for time and eternity. And in this kingdom there will be order again for a long time, for love is the fundamental principle of divine order, and where love reigns everything will also take place in accordance with My will .... And thus the spiritual substances, which are still bound in form, will also develop more quickly, because they feel love around them and therefore also give up their resistance more quickly in order to reach the final transformation as a human being. And this kingdom will therefore be on the new earth when My work of transformation has taken place, when all creations of the old earth have been dissolved and changed into new creations through My will, when the paradise of the new earth has been created and will receive My own who have endured until the end. The process of the destruction of the old earth will still be apparent to them because I want them to proclaim My might and glory to their descendants, and because they themselves shall then be blessed by being transferred to the new earth as the reward for all suffering they previously had to endure for the sake of their faith. And they will forget all suffering and hardship in view of the splendour and glory which will shine towards them on the new earth in all works of creation .... And I Myself will be in the midst of My own because their great love allows this .... A new period of redemption begins, for much of the spiritual is still unredeemed and still bound in those creations .... And even if people are no longer under the spell of evil, the following human generations will nevertheless also have to pass their test of will on earth, only My adversary cannot have an effect on them as long as love is highly developed in people, thus as long as their hearts beat towards Me in the divine redeemer Jesus Christ and therefore they do not sin either but are redeemed from their original sin through Jesus Christ .... And love is exceedingly strong in people who will animate the new earth in the beginning, and it will burn ever more fiercely towards Me because I Myself can delight them with My presence and will instruct them at all times through My messengers of light with whom people will have direct contact and therefore also be exceedingly blissful. Earth's paradise is ushering in a new time, for the spiritual and earthly turning point has been accomplished .... And it will be a time of peace where there will be no enmity, neither with human beings nor with the animal world. Everything will live in harmony with each other and hardship and misery will be eliminated, there will be no illness, and even death will only be a painless transition into the spiritual kingdom; the soul will only change its abode, yet without suffering and fear, for it has lived a life in and with God and will now enter My kingdom, it will discard its earthly body in order to be able to dwell freely and exhilarated wherever it wants .... But always in the kingdom of light and bliss .... And this blissful time lies ahead of you, and all of you can be candidates and belong to My own who are allowed to inhabit paradise on earth, only you have to stand firm in the last battle of faith, you have to persevere until the end .... And truly, your lot in the paradise of the new earth will be a glorious one, for I Myself am with those who remain faithful to Me, and My nearness is your bliss ....

Amen

'He that shall endure unto the end ....'

B.D. 8164 from April 30th 1962, taken from Book No. 86

'But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved ....' This is My promise, which certainly makes the greatest demand that you shall persevere until the end .... My promise will only come true with a small flock, for a great test of faith will be demanded of you, passing it will require much strength and an intimate bond with Me, since the believers will be harshly persecuted by the authorities and the human being can only offer resistance with My support by making use of My strength which will flow to him through his heartfelt contact with Me. He must belong to Me with all his will, with all his soul, and the strength of his faith in Me will give him the fortitude to resist. Then he would rather give up his life than Me, Whom he has recognised as the most loving Father from Whom he will never want to separate again .... And I will reward this strength of faith and love for Me, for he will become blissfully happy .... This small flock, which will remain loyal to Me even during the harshest battle of faith, will be rescued by Me from extreme adversity, I will move them to a place of peace in order to then give them the reshaped earth as their abode again, so that a new era will begin, a time of peace and of innermost unity with Me, so that I Myself will be able to stay amongst My Own because their deep love for Me allows for this .... The reward is truly magnificent but My Own will deserve it, for the last days on this earth will be incredibly difficult for them, and yet they will remain faithful to Me. They will abide until the end ....

And by using all means I will truly help them to attain this strength of faith, for I will reveal Myself to them beforehand in many different ways .... I Myself will come to them in My Word, and My direct communication will let their love and faith come alive; their constant contact with Me will fill them with a love that will increasingly intensify .... I will often miraculously intervene in their life and will also visibly appear to those who wait for Me in utmost adversity and firmly believe that I will help them .... I will leave no-one without comfort and Words of encouragement; I will give strength to all so that they will be able to endure even the most difficult situation. And they will firmly believe in Me with indestructible trust in Me .... And thus they will wait daily for My coming, for their deliverance .... until I Myself fetch them because the time will have come to an end, because I will put an end to My adversary's activity and put him into chains along with his adherents .... And the day of Judgment will result in a complete transformation of the earth's surface; all creations in, on and above the earth will be dissolved and be placed into new forms, the day of the end of the old earth will have come for all human beings and only those who belong to My Own will be lifted up from earth and escape destruction, whereas My adversary's followers full of terror will face their downfall and be devoured by the earth .... For the formation of the old earth will have ceased to exist .... Yet a new earth will emerge again and a new epoch of Salvation will start, and this new earth will be populated by those who remained loyal to Me until the end .... They will be blissfully happy, as I had promised them, since My adversary will have no more control over people for a long time to come, for they are devoted to Me in love, and therefore I Myself will be able to dwell amongst them and all hardship will have come to an end .... There will be peace on earth again, a divine state of harmony and beatitude .... where only love will reign ....

Amen

Doubts about end prophecies ....

B.D. 8485 from May 2nd 1963, taken from Book No. 89

One redemption period has expired and a new one begins .... And whatever can still be done to save souls from the end, to spare them the path through the creations of the new earth, that will truly still be done, for all good forces in the spiritual kingdom and also on earth make it their business to help the souls to reach the goal before the end. But the fact that the end of this earth has come is irrevocable, after all, the day of the end has been fixed in My plan of salvation since eternity, and it will also be kept. But what such an end of a period of salvation means cannot be described to you in words, for it is a process which is incomprehensible to all of you humans .... that everything you now still see around you ceases to exist .... that an end has come for everything, be it living creations or other creations, and that therefore humanity will also fall to the lot which corresponds to the satanic state. All these references to the end find little credence because it is simply inconceivable to people and because they cannot look back on anything similar to consider it credible. Yet everything unwinds according to My eternal plan of salvation, for I foresaw from eternity the spiritual state people are in and that there is no other possibility left to promote the further development of everything spiritual. Everything has to progress upwards, and therefore new opportunities have to be created for the still bound spiritual to mature .... The act of transformation on earth is therefore an immense blessing for this spiritual substance, for it enters a new stage of its development when it is released from hardest matter and enters less hard deformations where it can mature more quickly than before .... But the souls of people who failed in earthly life are severely affected, for they experience a complete dissolution again and are banished anew into hard matter in order to start the course of ascent development again in endless agony and bondage. And in order to save what can still be saved before the end, everything is truly being done, and a work of redemption is underway, both in the spiritual kingdom as well as on earth, which could have great success if the human being himself did not determine the success through his will ..... He cannot be forced to believe in an end of this earth, yet the mere belief in it would cause him to change, and then he could truly still mature so far in the short time that he would be saved from a new banishment .... But people lack faith, and whether they are repeatedly reminded of the seriousness of the time, whether the purpose of existence is repeatedly explained to them .... The time set for this period is coming to an end, and a completely new earth will arise after the destruction of the old earth, which again offers countless possibilities to the spiritual, which has not yet reached its goal. For I hold fast to My plan of salvation because My resolutions are unchangeable. And therefore you humans are not able to prevent Me from doing so, you are not able to change My will when it concerns the very plan of salvation which I reveal to you humans because of the imminent end and let you see so that everything is understandable to you and you shall only ever learn to recognize My infinite love as the reason .... And this love would truly be small if I wanted to comply with your wishes and requests and depart from that plan, which, however, is not possible in eternity, that I would reject and change decisions once taken .... But I will hear all requests which you humans send in love for your fellow human beings for their salvation, and therefore the serious request goes out to you who believe and are not entirely without love: Remember all unbelievers and pray for them so that they may escape the dreadful fate of new banishment .... Take care of those whom you know are unable to believe and pray for them, that they may be enlightened in spirit, that bright thoughts may come to them which they will take up and that they may change their mind .... You should only give them a small impulse and wish that it will not remain unsuccessful, and your love for these wretched people will truly have an effect and bring about a change of heart in them. And this, too, is redemptive work which you can all do and which can still save souls from the end .... For I am truly a merciful God, and I value every kind thought which applies to such souls and help so that I can still reap a rich harvest before the end comes.

Amen

Promise of divine love care in greatest need ....

B.D. 8524 from June 10th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

And even if you will lose everything you still have Me, Who is lord over everything, over the universe, over the kingdom of light and that of darkness, you have Me, from Whom everything emerged and Who can truly also preserve everything in greatest adversity. And if you just possess the faith that I help you, you will also be preserved, no matter how small the possibilities for it seem to be. But I know what you need, and that you will also receive. Furthermore I am also able to keep you alive out of My power, which flows over in you, because Him, Who called everything into life, what you see, is also truly possible to keep you alive through His will. And you are to believe in this, and you will fearlessly expect the coming disaster; you will always know yourselves to be safe in My protection and My love care, and you will then also think and act in My will. Around you there will be incomparable trouble, and you will not need to fear this trouble, and in a wonderful way you will come into possession of what you need and through this also be able to prove to fellowmen the power of faith. And then you should only ever point to the great goodness, love and power of God, even if fellow human beings want to deny Him .... You are to make them acquainted with Me, Who also gave them life and longs for their return to Me. And it will also be easy for you to speak in view of the great misery of men, who are hit so hard exactly because of their unbelief and feel everything far more difficult than you, who know about the meaning and purpose of everything what comes. Your calmness and composure in the face of earthly events, your strong faith and the visible help you experience will nevertheless lift many people up, they will think and can also attain faith if only they are of good will. But the others are still in the power of My opponent, and they will also try to assert themselves and do this at the expense of their fellowmen. And by this you can recognize the spiritual attitude of these, and as soon as they can again record earthly successes, you know that he has helped them who wants to plunge them into ruin .... And these will also find their followers on a far greater scale than you, who seek to draw people over to you and would like to inform them of the spiritual kingdom and its lord .... You yourselves are never allowed to despair; you are just to always long for My presence; you are to join Me the more intimately the greater the trouble becomes, which has to come over men because of their state far from God and which therefore will also touch you. But it will always be bearable for you, because I know the ones who are Mine, and the ones who are Mine call to Me and will not be left without help. Then you are not to despair, and whether still so great distresses arise for you .... My power is stronger, and My love never ceases, and so I will always be with you, you who receive My word and seek to spread it, you who accept My word and live it out .... You need never fear that the father will abandon His children, for I will heed every call and help where help is needed .... Only firmly believe in Me, in My love and in My power. And do not be afraid to speak of Me and My love to those who have not yet found Me, who do not know Me as a God of love and who therefore also know nothing about the cause and purpose of their adversity. You are then to preach the gospel to them, just as I Myself have instructed you .... you are to give Me Myself the opportunity to speak through you, and also announce to them an imminent end, so that they prepare themselves for it before it is too late. And when they will see in you the effect of a deep, living faith, then also in them faith will revive or become stronger, and the small flock of Mine can still increase, because every soul is still wrestled for until the end, but which then is no longer far. Earthly goods are still at your disposal, but these you are to use for work in love; you are to acquire spiritual goods for yourselves, which last, because you must give up the earthly goods when this is My will .... And then it will be recognizable who belongs to Mine, for he will hand out what he still possesses, and he will again and again receive from Me proofs of favour of My love and power and truly need to suffer no hardship .... And you humans should always bear in mind that there is one Who truly has power over heaven and earth, for Whom nothing is impossible and Whose love is unlimited .... And to this one you should call even now and then in the great adversity which befalls you humans .... Pray that your faith will reach that strength where you leave everything to Me without hesitation, where you give yourselves to Me and place yourselves under My will .... And truly, the father will not abandon His children, He will hear every call and distribute the gifts of His love where they are awaited in deep, living faith ...._>Amen

Announcement of the end .... 'You only have little time left ....'

B.D. 4457 from October 11th 1948, taken from Book No. 52

You don't have much time left and seriously ought to prepare yourselves for the day when an act of destruction will happen the likes of which has never been experienced before. And although I keep announcing it, you nevertheless doubt My Words and are therefore slow in your work of improving your soul. And you only have a little time left .... But I cannot make you aware of it by any other means than through My Word; if you don't believe it you will be shocked when the last signs start to appear. Although shortly before I will indeed warn you once again, yet even these Words will not be believed by you anymore than the previous announcements because you will be incensed by My forbearance and can't understand that I Am waiting for the sake of the souls yet to be saved, even though the time has long been fulfilled. Some can still be saved, I want to spare them the infinitely long path of a re-embodiment on the new earth and Am therefore patient and wait. However, even the final extension of time will come to an end, therefore take My Words seriously that you only have a little time left and that you will regret every day you have not used correctly for your soul.

And world events will change surprisingly quickly, just a few days will suffice in order to place you into a completely new situation. And then you ought to remember My Words and consider spiritual issues as being more important than earthly ones, for worrying about the latter is irrelevant since you cannot keep anything for yourselves if I won't retain it for you, and that it is up to My will and My might to physically protect and take care of you. Always consider your soul, be helpful and generous when you come across adversity, and enter into heart-felt contact with Me so that you will receive the strength to endure and to do justice to all requirements of life. Constantly draw strength from My Word, for it is a source of strength which can refresh you and which will never run dry. Be always ready for Me and I will not abandon you, regardless of what happens to you ....

Amen
