3492b Battle between light and darkness....

July 18, 1945: Book 45

And the battle of light against darkness will take on forms which point to the near end, for evil gains power over people who do not request strength from God and are only able to resist through it in order to emerge as victors at the end of days. There will be deepest darkness in the hearts of those, for the lord of darkness seeks to extinguish all light, and he will succeed because the world shuns the light but the light alone can only bring in the strength to resist. For God Himself is the light, God Himself is the truth, and only where there is truth does the light shine and break through the darkness of night. From God alone comes the strength, and every person receives it who receives the truth from God in desire for it. But in order to make people powerless and inclined towards his desires, God's adversary seeks to suppress the truth and to ensnare people in lies and the worst kind of error.... And people do not resist because the lie is more appealing to them, because it is of a worldly spirit and man only lives for the world but not for the spiritual kingdom.... And thus the majority of people will stand outside of it, and only a small part will seek the kingdom of God and request strength from God Himself for the last difficult test on earth. Light and darkness fight against each other in the spiritual kingdom as well as on earth, light has a beneficial influence where people's hearts are open to it, but darkness destroys everything and creates an unnameable chaos, it darkens all paths and leads far away from the aim towards the kingdom of the one who rules over darkness, who is full of lies and unkindness and who therefore has his kingdom as God's antipole in the deepest depths where there is only wretchedness, torment and depravity.... Humanity is drifting towards darkness because it does not accept the light which illuminates the world like a ray of lightning and sends its sparks everywhere so that they may find nourishment and flare up again as light.... Humanity turns away from brightness because the spiritual kingdom no longer means anything to it, because its spiritual knowledge, the pure truth from God, does not appear desirable, because the souls are no longer able to feel the influence from the kingdom of light, yet they have completely fallen prey to the forces of darkness. And the time of the end has come.... the forces of darkness will be banished and with them everything that was in bondage to them.... And the light will shine.... lies and error will be displaced by truth, for only God will reign and live in the hearts of people who, as bearers of light, have emerged victorious from the battle of light against darkness....

Amen
