0492 Announcement about divine intervention....

July 2, 1938: Book 10

Many a person will be given the truths, but he will reject them in disbelief because everything in him longs to go through life free and unbound. If the lord draws his attention to this and his spirit stubbornly turns away and strictly refuses to accept such truths, the lord will then only have the right to compel him to seriously reflect on his purpose of existence through trials of all kinds. And yet very many do not follow such advice.... They prefer to face all adversity with contempt for death, but do not change their own views in the slightest. The lord will also have to come up with special signs for these particularly stubborn children of earth so that their theories of life will be shaken and they will suddenly find themselves completely at a loss when faced with the workings of nature. And in His mercy and gentleness the lord tries to influence all who walk on earth. The world has already appropriated too much for itself.... it has already become so independent of God's grace.... it only accepts its earthly knowledge, its earthly explanations for everything incomprehensible.... it wants to instruct people with a view that deviates far from the truth in order to make them submissive to its material desires. For where a doctrine is established today that first gives God the honour and first prescribes man's duties towards God, there earthly power is being compromized, and this is to be prevented at all costs.

(2.7.1938) And so it will happen that soon the doors will open for the word which the lord himself has taught on earth. Not a single person will be able to resist this word who has made it his task to enter into contact with the lord of heaven and earth.... Everything he previously denied will suddenly become comprehensible to him, for the human being's will to do right will henceforth take effect and express itself such that the human being will desire spiritual nourishment, and the word of God will be the right food. And thus faith in it will be stronger than faith in earthly power.... They will be much more likely to change their views before an earthly person familiar with the word of God separates himself from it. It will be of no consequence what you are offered from the earthly side.... everything remains completely worthless compared to the one thing that the lord Himself gave you.... which you are to keep as given by God for all eternity.... The last judgement promises mercy to those who have been ignorant of God's teaching, but the number of those will be small, for now attention is being drawn everywhere to the great question about the relationship of the earthly child to its creator.... and about the divinity of Jesus Christ. Will anyone be able to remain completely ignorant of the current endeavours to destroy everything and create something completely new instead?.... Is not everyone so interested in this because the salvation of each individual soul is at stake?.... The whole mystery of Christ's incarnation has just been revealed so obviously that people need only keep their eyes and ears open and this burning question will not pass anyone by. Although everyone recognizes the importance of this question with equal seriousness, whether they are aware that their salvation depends on the solution to this question.... that they will sacrifice everything for the new age if they do not come closer to the heart of the matter.... is solely up to the will of each individual. God gave people prophets at all times, He also let them pay attention to them and made Himself known through events of all kinds.... yet the wiser humanity thinks itself to be, the more stubbornly it closes itself off to such indications and revelations from the world beyond. After all, it is much easier to turn people towards a new thing through earthly promises than to lead them to the light with purely divine truth, for this does not glisten and shine like all the earthly advantages offered to people. The simpler and more natural a teaching is, the less popular it is. Christ taught people nothing more than love.... love of God and neighbour.... and in return offered the most glorious.... eternal bliss. But since this is not tangibly before man's eyes, his earthly good life is more important to him.... he endeavours to elevate and improve it and does not consider the soul's misery after death. And so he gives in to the desires of the world in everything and becomes more and more captivated by the world. He lets earthly advantages be the driving force of his actions and thoughts everywhere and abandons faith, which offers him nothing tangible for his lifetime. But every power, when it senses this, seizes the opportunity and arrogates to itself all the rights to which God alone is entitled. Anyone who thinks about it will also soon realise that nothing earthly is permanent...., no matter how well and brilliantly it is established, for the lord over life and death still has the sole right and power to destroy matter or let it pass away. And so the battle always begins when the supreme being feels compelled to intervene against encroachments that are directed against the supreme deity, against the commandments and against the teachings of this deity.

A person truly does not need faith for earthly life alone.... for what would be the point of a shorter or longer life if it ended with the death of the body; whether a person had completed life in this or that view would be completely indifferent. But can you furnish the slightest cogent proof that life is then really ended? Think of this in every argument, whether it would be possible for you to provide evidence for your views.... think of the fact that you can also never provide evidence of the worthlessness of Christ's teaching.... And if you are not quite sure, then turn to the almighty so that He may give you a little light, and He will truly not let you ask in vain. But what you want to initiate out of your intellect is dreadful error.... which will envelop your soul in deepest darkness and make your redemption from it unspeakably difficult. Gratefully accept from God what He sends you and pay attention to the signs and words that come from above.... and do not judge where you lack the gift. And so watch out for the next time when the lord sends you visible warnings to guide you onto the right path, you who are about to enter the path into the abyss.... and then call upon the father in heaven for enlightenment....

Amen
