1088 Necessity of divine intervention....

September 10, 1939: Book 20

All the world will be informed and all the world will feel the hand of the lord, for it is His will that a change should take place and that humanity should turn more towards the spiritual and not completely fall flat in the age of materialism. And anyone who pays attention to the things which are to bring about this change will also regocnize how infinitely necessary the intervention of the eternal deity is.... he will have to admit that only a violent intervention can still bring about a transformation of humanity and that the time for this has also come, for no matter how sorrowfully the events on earth burden people, they will not find their way back to a deep faith in their creator and saviour through them either, for they are secularized to the utmost. A small circle may well feel the hand of the lord and find their way back to Him, yet this does not remedy the general spiritual state, on the contrary, they increasingly deny a deity Who guides and directs everything on earth. And all efforts to spare people the most painful events are in vain.... And so the earth will open up and humanity will be shaken and wobbled elsewhere.... and the father in heaven will stretch out His hand towards His children so that they may seize him who regocnizes Him in deepest adversity, and people's suffering will exceed everything that has happened so far.... for previously people themselves were the originators of their tribulations and were also able to remove them themselves, but here even the most powerful person on earth will be powerless, every person will regocnize his powerlessness in the face of this event and only one path will remain for him to save himself.... the supplication to God.... And all stubbornness and self-importance will be an obstacle to this path.... Only he who small and humbly desires help will find fulfilment, but often only in a spiritual way. But man's life on earth is not the epitome of bliss.... Whoever loses this life and gains his eternal life has sacrificed far less than he receives.... And God's judgement is infinitely wise and just.... It is not anger or revenge that causes Him to intervene but His infinite love and mercy, for He regocnizes best the unspeakable danger and adversity that spiritually threatens man and must be averted in time. And you should neither quarrel nor be angry if you want to make use of God's goodness. Trustingly take refuge under His protection and not a hair on your head will be harmed in this time of adversity. And when the night descends upon you in an oppressive manner, know that you are close to it and pray that the lord will spare you, and He will stand by His own and avert the calamity.... And submit yourselves to His will, for He truly knows better what is good for each one of you, and so let Him rule Who loves His living creations on earth with all His heart.... And everything He allows to happen on earth only has its explanation in this love.... He wants to save the souls standing on the edge of the abyss from eternal ruin....

Amen
