0668 God's judgement....

November 14, 1938: Book 14

God's judgement must come upon mankind, for the lord has proclaimed it in word and scripture, and His word is fulfilled in all truth. For the lord foresaw the will of mankind to shape itself in such a way as it currently rules the world. And He repeatedly pointed to the judgement in order to persuade people to repent and thus avert the judgement, for it is only up to humanity's will to avoid it, but if people do not listen to all warnings and admonitions, they themselves are to blame for the misery that will afflict the earth. There is an incessant coming and going, a living and dying on earth, and every generation has received news from above and heard the will of the lord.... But faith has become weaker and weaker.... everything that the lord sent to people for the purpose of instruction was rejected in disbelief, and people's thinking became increasingly shallow. Similarly, all so-called piety has become merely formal, and this is what compels the eternal deity to intervene.... so that mankind may be led back to true faith, and so it will happen as the lord has said. The powers of heaven will unite with the good of the earth; without any visible cause, a change will occur in nature that will unsettle all minds and then freeze them in horror. Towards the end of the day you will see the threatening shapes of the clouds and know no explanation for them.... Your senses hear a strong roaring around you and above you.... You try to flee and save yourselves and yet do not know where to go, for all around you is night.... And so you are now hopelessly exposed to the powers and have only one protection.... prayer to the creator.... to the heavenly father.... He alone is your refuge and protection, He alone can bring you salvation and keep the judgement away from you.... And He will be close to everyone who calls upon Him in his distress. And therefore do not flee wherever you are.... Judgement overtakes you everywhere, and God's help is also ready for you everywhere.... No one can escape disaster by his own strength, for the arm of God reaches all, and His love and mercy also reaches as far as it is desired. Every disaster will be stopped if the earthly child has recognized and turns to the father.... But where hearts are stubborn and hardened, the earth will threaten to burst, and many a person will fall victim to God's judgement because he does not listen to the lord's final warning and so there is no salvation for him. A full year beforehand the earth will be afflicted with tribulations of all kinds so that people's minds will turn.... away from the world and towards the true goal, so that he may become a believer and seek God. And the suffering will be great but indispensable.... for the lord is longsuffering and merciful, He wants to avert the great suffering of the judgement, which can only happen if humanity turns to faith.... And that is why such immense spiritual work is being done, as it is aimed at rescuing countless souls from the night to eternal light.... Those who have found the lord will not need to look forward to the judgement with fear, they will find comfort in the promise of the lord, Who knows His own and will protect them from every danger of body and soul. And all adversity will pass them by if only they look up to the lord and saviour with faith. Anyone who is aware of the coming time and endeavours to fulfil God's will, who always asks the lord for firm faith and commends himself to Him and His grace, will not be surprised by the time of judgement.... Whoever only looks upwards cannot be frightened by the judgement, but only the word of the lord will be fulfilled as predicted, and the lord will only visibly make His power and His will known to the terror of those who do not want to hear Him.... But this voice does not frighten His true children.... He is close to them in all love and grace and protects them so that they will not be harmed and waver in the great adversity that will come upon the earth. Therefore, pray constantly that you will remain in His love and you will be spared from all harm....

Amen
