1018 Twitching lightning.... distress and gloom.... light morning....

July 23, 1939: Book 19

The sky covers itself and the sun no longer wants to give its light, and all forces of nature unite to work together against humanity, which no longer recognizes its God and creator. And irrevocably a heavy pressure is laid upon them, for God's love takes pity on His children and He must let the harshest chastisement pass over them if they are not all to be irretrievably lost. The will of man is different from the will of God.... Man ridicules and mocks every teaching that points upwards, and the greed for possessions has become so great that such must necessarily be destroyed.... And unkindness among people has reached its highest development, not one stands for but against the other, and the spiritual misery of the individual cannot be controlled in any other way than through an adversity which is so unspeakably great that people will help each other who still have a little spark of love in them.... And so the lord sends one adversity after another upon the earth and its inhabitants.... He will cause lightning to flash in the darkness of souls so that they will look around them in fear and plead for help.... And everyone will be allowed to experience the dawning morning in radiant light if he wants to escape the darkness.... And so the world has now become a source of fire in many places, and spiritual hardship and tribulation were the cause of the most severe trials for the children of the earth.... But likewise the light will come from above, and in the same measure as people accept it, all heaviness of the time will be taken from them, for the father only requires the soul, the free will of His children, and He will henceforth give them His peace.... Therefore seek the light of truth, remain in faith and love.... and all the difficulties of the coming time will only touch you like a shadow, for He Who gave you life can also save you from all adversity if you ask Him for it with a believing heart....

Amen
