0701 Unbelievers.... prediction.... extraordinary sign....

December 8, 1938: Book 15

And the unbelievers increase, they no longer seek their saviour out of trouble in prayer, they neglect to give Him love and honour and walk along through earthly life, oblivious of their creator. But this detachment from God leads to the worst.... A pure spirit can certainly remain hidden from the world for ages to come, but if He expresses Himself visibly then this is unavoidably necessary. Embodied in matter, His walk on earth became a sign of His love to people when humanity was languishing too much in the bonds of darkness. Now, however, humanity rebels against the eternal deity in the same way, disregarding His will, and only continues to work to increase the distance between the creator and itself.... Such an endeavour must be prevented so that the collapse.... of spiritual decay is prevented for the salvation of those who are not completely in the darkest night. Yet the love of the father of all creatures is eternal and long-suffering.... His will is not destruction and punishment, but salvation from the deepest distress. The coming judgement will bear witness to how infinitely merciful the eternal deity is and how the path to repentance will still be suggested to everyone in the last hour and how everyone's will can bring about a change in their fate. For God never seeks to abandon the child to destruction but to lead it by all means to self-knowledge, which is tantamount to ascent.... In His boundless mercy He wants to draw to Himself what now remains at a distance from Him.... He has wisely allowed the greatest signs to precede the coming time and will do so to an even greater extent in order to draw everyone's attention to an extraordinary event, and anyone who is aware of these signs will recognize the reign of the deity in them. The greatest danger for you humans is that you believe yourselves to be strong and yet are not able to stop the slightest thing the father sends upon you as a sign of His power. Look within yourselves and recognize your weakness and you will become stronger in spirit to the same extent.... you will recognize the spiritual activity of the present time, you will recognize the representatives of God, the heralds of light, and this will be a comfort to you in the time to come. Your own will will be decisive as to how far you are prepared when the lord visibly appears, and you will recognize Him when the time is right.... He will reveal Himself to the one who will seek Him in spirit, and all matter will give way to His light, only the spirit will see and recognize. And you, who consciously await this time, the lord will give you His grace that He will dwell in your midst and strengthen your hearts through His presence....

Amen
