1388 New world view.... foundation wall.... foundation....

April 22, 1940: Book 23

The consequences of a deluded world view will make themselves felt in a very short time. The desire to deviate from the normal way of life, the rejection of divine laws, the unnatural behaviour of those who profess the new world view, all this reveals a new school of thought which will have serious consequences. For it cannot be denied that a new era has dawned that is essentially different from the past. A planned rethinking is being striven for, which, however, aims at a completely reversed world order, because that which previously served the spiritual well-being of man is now to be eliminated as far as possible, i.e. made as inaccessible to man as possible. On the other hand, every material question will be subjected to an in-depth examination and thus the earthly in human life will be regarded as that which should inspire the highest vigour and be striven for as solely valuable. Man has always thought too little of his spirit, and earthly life and everything conducive to the body has always dominated his entire thinking, yet God and His work have always been regocnized by mankind.... Now, however, the spirit is detaching itself more and more from the eternal deity.... Man has familiarized himself with the idea that a deity does not necessarily have to be affirmed.... that a rejection of the eternal deity does not mean the cessation of existence.... Man believes that he can walk the earthly path even without this deity, and so he seeks to free himself from what he has hitherto regarded as a lack of freedom, as an inhibition of his feelings. He seeks to break the strings that still chained him to a being that was to determine his fate.... He seeks to free himself from that which, deep down, makes him believe in his creator. The state of being completely independent in earthly life seems more desirable to him.... he neither seeks help from nor an approach to a higher being, he wants to be completely free from everything that could dominate him.... So he builds a building for himself that lacks the existing foundations.... and this building will collapse like a house of cards.... He tries his hand alone at a work that cannot stand without divine help.... For all trains of thought of a person in such a wrong spiritual direction are erroneous.... What people try to remove are precisely the foundation walls which secure the firm building.... It is the foundation that must inevitably be in place if the entire structure is to stand. And no stone of this foundation will be allowed to be missing, thus also a world view which does not want to accept the eternal creator as what He is.... as an entity Who directs and guides the destiny of each individual person.... Who embodied Himself in Jesus Christ in order to redeem His creatures.... but will never be a blessing for humanity, for the building which the world now wants to erect for itself will collapse without foundation, for the master builder from eternity will not allow Himself to be mocked and will not allow Himself to be ignored. And so people may want to free themselves from God and Christ.... they will call out to Him in the utmost hopelessness and, when God Himself shows Himself to them, regocnize their error....

Amen
