4851 Old seers and prophets.... pictures.... accordance....

March 5, 1950: Book 55

Worldly people in their ignorance of spiritual things will never be able to fathom what ancient seers and prophets have spoken on My behalf, and therefore only few people will understand the profound spiritual meaning of those prophecies, only few people will know in which time they will be fulfilled. From the beginning of this period of salvation I gave people indications of the end, of the abuses in the time of the end, of the devilish activity and the battle against the believers; I let them see, however, not the natural effect of people's will, which was completely turned away from Me, but the coming events stood before their eyes in pictures which they were unable to interpret themselves and whose meaning was also hidden from the seers themselves. Yet none of the images they saw was without meaning because the seers and prophets were pious people devoted to Me whom I chose to act as warners and admonishers among people of all generations until the end. Anyone who seriously endeavoured to lead a life pleasing to Me also came close to the truth when reflecting on those images; yet it is only possible for an awakened spirit to explain them correctly. I foresaw the time, I knew all grievances from the beginning, I knew the development of people earthly and spiritually, I recognized all shortcomings, the delusion among people, I knew about the stubborn rejection of truth, about the triumph of error, which therefore triumphed for a long time because the prerequisite was given in people's behaviour towards Me, because the majority of them are children of My adversary who take wrong paths and are therefore blind to the truth, while error is accepted and spread by them without hesitation. In the spiritual world such attitudes and the resulting events have an effect as distorted images, as everything spiritual has correspondences, and thus the seers of that time saw the course of events in the last days in such images which truly had to horrify a person whose soul was gentle and who was right with Me as a seer and prophet because of his devotion to God. It was not given to him to interpret his visions and dreams because I wanted what he saw to remain unfounded until the end. But his visions were to be preserved for posterity in order to inspire seeking and striving people to think again and again. And even in the end time there will only be a few who are clairaudient and clairvoyant and well understand the visions of My prophets of old in their realization of people's spiritual low and the nearness of the announced end. I will enlighten their spirit as soon as it is necessary for them to inform their fellow human beings, and if they then speak on My behalf they will also proclaim the pure truth, for they will not speak until they have been instructed to do so, and from that moment on they will clearly recognize the meaning of what is otherwise incomprehensible to their fellow human beings until I Myself lift the veil.... until what ancient seers and prophets have foretold in My will is fulfilled....

Amen
