Look at humanity's conduct. It is dominated by the spirit of lies and this is causing indescribable confusion. Human thinking will distance itself ever further from the truth, for the human being mentally accepts the lie and has no way of recognising it as such, and thus the person's emotional life will be led astray as well. It is therefore understandable that the layer around the human soul continues to thicken, thus the person distances himself more and more from the truth since the spirit in him cannot express itself, i.e. the soul is incapable of receiving spiritual truths. As soon as a person's thinking takes the wrong direction the voice of the spirit gradually subsides until, in the end, it is no longer heard. The result is a human race which lives in complete ignorance, which strives towards completely different goals than they were originally supposed to achieve. Hence, earthly life is entirely unsuccessful, because as long as the human being lives in error he turns to the power from which he should separate himself. The God-opposing power subsequently makes use of this inclined will and determines the being to commit God-opposing actions in order to destroy all ties and to subjugate the being completely. And this state among mankind can now clearly be recognised.... Earthly life is lived totally independently from God, people only rarely think of the One from Whom everything emerged.... or every thought relating to spiritual matters is anxiously kept secret. God is no longer publicly professed, providing He is at all thought of. All these are visible signs of powers which are hostile to God, for their influence grows stronger the weaker the human being becomes. And since the human being keeps distancing himself ever further from the eternal Deity, his strength to resist the evil influence grows constantly weaker. Instead, he receives the strength from the God-opposing power which supports him in all earthly undertakings. Thus earthly success is always guaranteed through this said strength and the earthly success, in turn, contributes towards a complete separation from God, for the human being no longer needs divine strength, consequently he no longer calls upon God either but denies Him.... And it is the adversary's intention to alienate the human being completely from thoughts of God, for then he will have absolute control over him. He has become a victor over the being which had the choice to whom it wanted to concede victory.
It has chosen God's adversary and thus walked its earthly path in an entirely wrong direction....
Yet God will not let these beings fall.... He will provide them with the evidence that everything earthly worth striving for is also subject to His power.... that He can destroy it if it corresponds to His will. He by no means haphazardly destroys what the human being deems desirable, but this work of destruction will, from a spiritual point of view, also be of greatest advantage for countless entities. Yet people who do not recognise its profound significance will be sorely affected by it, for they will lose everything which, until now, signified their whole life. And once again they are facing the decision.... to strive for the same again or to recognise the transience of it and to gather everlasting possessions for themselves. For at the moment of destruction the adversary loses power, and if the person recognises the impotence of the latter the possibility is given that he might recognise a different Lord above himself and turn to Him. Earthly possession is the share of the evil power for it contains unredeemed spiritual substances, and the human being should not desire what was his place of abode for an infinitely long time before.... he should not strive towards something which took him endless times to overcome.... And thus the obvious worthlessness of it has to be proven to him, so that he will turn away from it and towards that which will come after him, after his life on earth. He must relinquish earthly matter and desire spiritual things, then he will also overcome the final form and liberate himself from every chain. However, spiritual things continue to exist and therefore belong in the realm of truth.... Worldly things, however, are transient, thus they belong to the realm of darkness, to untruth, for it only shelters immature spiritual substance which did not recognise the truth and therefore were banished. Consequently, the human being can never know the truth as long as he desires earthly goods and, precisely because of this desire, concedes power to the prince of lies. And as long as he strives for earthly possessions he will be dominated by the lie, and his thinking has to be misguided, for the prince of lies tries to influence the person's thoughts first and to completely distance him from the truth. Therefore, the state of people is extremely alarming and can only be remedied if God Himself breaks the adversary's power by destroying earthly possessions....
Amen
TranslatorPoglejte obnašanje človeštva. Nad njim prevladuje duh laži in to povzroča nepopisno zmedo. Človeško razmišljanje se bo vse bolj oddaljevalo od resnice, saj človek mentalno sprejema laž in je nikakor ne more prepoznati kot tako, s tem pa bo tudi človekovo čustveno življenje zavedeno. Zato je razumljivo, da se plast okoli človekove duše še naprej debeli, s čimer se človek vedno bolj oddaljuje od resnice, saj se duh v njem ne more izraziti, to pomeni, da duša ni sposobna sprejemati duhovnih resnic. Takoj ko človekovo razmišljanje zavzame napačno smer, glas duha postopoma potihne, dokler ga na koncu ni več slišati. Rezultat je človeška rasa, ki živi v popolni nevednosti, ki stremi k popolnoma drugačnim ciljem (materializem), kot naj bi jih prvotno dosegla. Zato je zemeljsko življenje v celoti neuspešno, kajti dokler človek živi v zmoti, se obrača na moč, od katere bi se moral ločiti. Moč, ki nasprotuje Bogu, nato uporabi to naklonjeno voljo in določi bitje, da izvaja dejanja, ki nasprotujejo Bogu, da bi uničila vse vezi in si bitje popolnoma podredila. In to stanje je zdaj med človeštvom mogoče jasno prepoznati. Zemeljsko življenje se živi popolnoma neodvisno od Boga, ljudje le redkokdaj pomislijo na Tistega, iz katerega je vse nastalo.... ali pa se vsaka misel, ki se nanaša na duhovne zadeve, skrbno skriva. Boga se ne izpoveduje več javno, če se nanj sploh pomisli (Matej 10;32). Vse to so vidna znamenja Bogu sovražnih sil, kajti njihov vpliv je tem močnejši, čim šibkejši postaja človek. In ker se človeško bitje vedno bolj oddaljuje od večnega Božanstva, se tudi njegova moč, da se upre zlobnemu vplivu, vse bolj in bolj zmanjšuje. Namesto tega prejme moč od Bogu nasprotne sile, ki ga podpira pri vseh zemeljskih podvigih. Zato je zemeljski uspeh vedno zagotovljen skozi to omenjeno moč, zemeljski uspeh pa prispeva k popolni ločitvi od Boga, kajti človek ne potrebuje več božanske moči, posledično tudi Boga ne kliče več, ampak ga zanika... In nasprotnikov (Satanov) namen je človeško bitje popolnoma odtujiti od misli na Boga, kajti takrat bo imel nad njim absolutni nadzor. Postal je zmagovalec nad bitjem, ki je imelo izbiro, komu želi priznati zmago. Izbralo si je božjega nasprotnika in tako svojo zemeljsko pot usmerilo v popolnoma napačno smer...
(In po diagnozi trenutnega stanja zopet sledi »strategija Božjih popravnih ukrepov«)
Vendar Bog ne bo pustil, da ta bitja padejo... Priskrbel jim bo dokaz, da je vse zemeljsko, za kar si je vredno prizadevati, tudi podvrženo Njegovi moči... da lahko to uniči, če ustreza Njegovi volji. Nikakor ne uničuje naključno tistega, kar se človeku zdi zaželeno, ampak bo to uničevalno delo z duhovnega vidika tudi največja prednost za brezštevilna bitja. Toda ljudje, ki ne bodo prepoznali njegovega globokega pomena, bodo zaradi tega močno prizadeti, saj bodo izgubili vse, kar je do sedaj pomenilo vse njihovo življenje. In spet se znajdejo pred odločitvijo... si ponovno prizadevati za isto ali pa prepoznati minljivost tega in si zase pridobijo večno imetje. Kajti v trenutku uničenja nasprotnik izgubi moč, in če človek prepozna nemoč slednjega, je dana možnost, da nad seboj prepozna drugega Gospoda in se obrne Nanj (Matej 6;24). Zemeljska posest je delež zle moči, saj vsebuje neodkupljene duhovne snovi in človeško bitje ne bi smelo hrepeneti po nečem, kar je bilo njegovo bivališče prej neskončno dolgo časa... ne bi smel stremeti k nečemu, za kar je potreboval neskončno veliko časa, da ga je premagal... In tako mu je potrebno dokazati očitno nevrednost tega, da se bo obrnil stran od tega in proti tistemu, kar ga bo spremljalo, ko se bo končalo to življenje na zemlji. Odpovedati se mora zemeljski materiji in si želeti duhovnih stvari, takrat bo tudi premagal končno formo in se osvobodil vseh okov. Vendar duhovne stvari še naprej obstajajo in zato pripadajo Kraljestvu Resnice... Posvetne stvari pa so minljive, zato spadajo v kraljestvo teme, v neresnico, saj skriva le nezrelo duhovno substanco, ki ni prepoznala Resnice in je bila zato izgnana (v materijo). Posledično človek nikoli ne more spoznati Resnice, dokler si želi zemeljskih dobrin in prav zaradi te želje prepusti oblast (moč) princu laži. In dokler se bo trudil za zemeljske dobrine, ga bo obvladovala laž in njegovo razmišljanje mora biti zgrešeno, kajti princ laži poskuša najprej vplivati na človekove misli in ga popolnoma oddaljiti od resnice. In zato je stanje ljudi izjemno alarmantno in se lahko popravi samo, če Bog Osebno zlomi nasprotnikovo moč z uničevanjem zemeljskih imetij (premoženj).
AMEN
