1420 New generation.... spiritual age....

May 15, 1940: Book 23

A new generation will feel the effects of the present dis-spiritualized time, and this generation will be aware of its task and regocnize the consequences of its actions and thoughts. It will experience the beginning of a spiritual age and will have to assert itself in a world of cynics and mockers.... The latter still has the upper hand, for before divine truth breaks through and is unquestioningly accepted by humanity, the battle against everything spiritual begins. This battle results in a clear separation between those who have regocnized the purpose of their earthly life and those who only see it in the acquisition of earthly goods. The earth will no longer harbour exclusively materialists but the spiritual will be cultivated because the power of knowledge expresses itself in people, thus the desire for truth is also predominant. People have become thoughtful through the phenomena of the time; the purpose of life on earth is not plausible to them if only earthly endeavour is to be man's task in life. They are not satisfied with this and research.... And since they consciously or unconsciously abandon themselves to a higher being.... therefore seek enlightenment not from people but from God, from their creator Himself, they will also receive the right enlightenment. And they will strive.... to live spiritually, regocnize the truth and be willing to serve. They will despise earthly possessions, try to redeem themselves and their environment; they will live their earthly life consciously and regocnize with utmost clarity the wrong path of those who work against them. And the activity of the beings in the beyond will result in great success, the spiritual state of maturity will be higher since God's grace will be utilized and people will request strength from God in prayer so that it can be sent to them unmeasured. And there will be peace where love is.... a peace of heart that cannot be shaken by discord in the world. Trust in divine help will keep every worry and fear away from people, faith will be strong and love for God will even be prepared to endure hardship and sorrow if it serves the salvation of the soul.... For people have seen the dreadful consequences of a deprived life and regocnized its causes.... They now strive for a higher development of their spirit.... They regocnize the consequences of distance from God and try to reduce them.... They no longer walk in the darkness of the spirit, but take paths of light in intimate union with God....

Amen
