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

»JEDLI SO IN PILI...« RAVNO TAKO JE BILO PRTED POPLAVO
Matej 24,42-52
Bodite torej budni, ker ne veste, katerega dne pride vaš Gospod! Vedite pa, da bi bil hišni gospodar buden, če bi vedel, ob kateri straži pride tat, in ne bi pustil vlomiti v svojo hišo. Zato bodite tudi vi pripravljeni, kajti ob uri, ko ne pričakujete, bo prišel Sin človekov.«
Zvesti in nezvesti služabnik
»Kdo je torej zvesti in preudarni služabnik, ki ga je gospodar postavil nad svojo služinčad, da ji ob pravem času da živež? Blagor tistemu služabniku, ki ga bo njegov gospodar ob svojem prihodu našel, da tako dela! Resnično, povem vam: Čez vse svoje premoženje ga bo postavil. Če pa ta pokvarjeni služabnik reče v svojem srcu: ›Moj gospod zamuja‹ in začne pretepati soslužabnike ter jé in popiva s pijanci, bo gospodar tega služabnika prišel na dan, ko ga ne pričakuje, in ob uri, za katero ne ve, in ga bo presekal na dvoje ter mu dal delež s hinavci; tam bo jok in škripanje z zobmi.«
Ko se konec vse bolj približuje, bo ponovno vse tako, kot je bilo pred veliko poplavo. Ljudi bo zajelo neko povečano mamljenje po življenju in bodo pod vplivom sveta z vsemi njegovimi privlačnostmi. Ljudje se ne bodo več sposobni kontrolirati in tudi želeli se ne bodo, in glede na to bodo brezvestno uživali življenje v grešnosti. Ne bodo namreč hrepeneli po nedolžnih užitkih; namesto tega bo vsepovsod prevladoval greh. Sebična ljubezen bo zamenjala vso prijateljsko ljubezen in ljudje bodo tako postali grešni, s tem ko bodo povzročili škodo svojim bližnjim preprosto zato, da bi zadovoljili vsakršno željo njihovega telesa. Imetja drugih ljudi se ne bodo spoštovalo, zato bodo vsi zakoni kršeni. Povečano zadovoljstvo življenja bo zadušilo glas vesti in do popolnosti se bo uživalo v tem, kar ponuja svet... Svet je torej področje Mojega nasprotnika (satana) in zato iz sveta lahko pride samo slabo. To pa za dušo lahko pomeni samo nevarnost, ker mora za zadovoljitev, ki je podarjena telesu, duša opraviti pokoro; plačati mora to, kar zahteva telo. Ljudje lahko glede na to na videz uživajo v zadovoljstvu, in samo tisti, kateri pripadajo Mojim lastnim, bodo vedeli, kateri čas je napočil, ko ljudje iščejo, kako se omamiti v ekstazi zadovoljstva. Potem pa bo konec zelo blizu, ker Sem vam Jaz davno prej najavil, da bo ravno tako, kot je bilo pred veliko poplavo... Jedli so in pili; ženili so se ter možili in niso usmerjali pozornosti na opominjanja in opozarjanja od zgoraj. In tem ljudem bo težko oznanjati Evangelij, ker usmerjajo pozornost in stremijo samo k zemeljskemu življenju. Primanjkuje jim namreč celotnega razumevanja za duhovno življenje, zaradi tega se bodo rogali in zasmehovali vsakega nosilca resnice, ki jih bo poizkušal spreobrniti. Vendar pa sredi evforije prihaja poslednja sodba... Ta bo strašna za vse tiste, ki gledajo na svet kot na njihovega Boga, ker bodo iz višin padli v brezno, iz veselja v ogromen strah; iz raja bodo padli v pekel... Namreč svet in njihove privlačnosti so bili njihovo nebo, toda svet bo uničen... in najstrožji zapor bo usoda tistih, ki so njihovo svobodo na zemlji napačno uporabljali; kateri živijo v grehu in v grehu tudi umirajo. Pazite se sveta, ker za vas predstavlja veliko nevarnost... trenutno zagotovo še naprej nudi veliko tega, kar je privlačno, vendar pa je za vas bolje, da se ga vzdržite in da stremite k nebeškim radostim, ki pridejo pozneje. In bodite brez tega, da tako lahko v vsem izobilju uživate nebeške užitke. Nikar ne pripadajte tistim, kateri ljubijo sami sebe in želijo telesu zagotoviti vsakršno zadovoljstvo. Evforija je namreč minljiva, vendar pa bo po njej sledilo strašno bujenje, kakor je to najavljeno v besedi in Pismu...Človeški rod pa je v veliki nevarnosti, saj je že zaslepljen z varljivo lučjo sveta in ne bo obstal v svojih zahtevah, temveč jih bo še povečal... Z velikanskimi koraki cilja h končnemu koncu.... išče življenje, vendar pa bo našel smrt, išče veselje a gre v propad.
AMEN
