1436 World events.... Natural events....

May 25, 1940: Book 23

Let God reign alone only, He will direct your fate according to His will.... And so the world event takes its course. It brings salvation to many souls in earthly and spiritual sense, although satan’s activity is unmistakable. But God is everywhere, where a thought is sent up to Him. And the distress and the misery is so great, that the souls turn to God full of desire and ask for deliverance from distress. There are often agonizing hours, preceding the death, but some souls struggel through and finds the right path, and then the life on earth is still blessed by the right recognition. Now the man is so to speak only a means to an end.... He is sacrificed without scruple, he fulfills his purpose and lays down his life, because he himself is powerless against earthly power. And his victim is graciously accepted by the heavenly Father, and his prematurely ended life will be taken into account for him in the afterlife and also his soul will be granted help, if the spiritual maturity is not reached yet. But who have blamed misery and distress from self-interest and greed, to whom great afflictions will still be granted. Because the suffering of fellow men cries out to heaven for retaliation....This says the Lord, and His word is unalterable....And so He decides, that all quarrel and contention remain undecided and the unspeakable sacrifices should be brought in vain. He puts a stop to the doings of him, who has great power; He puts an end to the international struggle. This is provided in the shortest period. The activity of satan is so obviously to recognize, that now the Lord Himself will intervene, to limit him in his power. And truly it suffices only His will to that, and the object will be staggering, that seemed strong and unshakeable. The spiritual distress among mankind is unspeakably great, it should be controlled thereby first, because the mankind does not recognize the activity of the adversary in the world events, so it must learn to recognize God’s activity in the natural events.... And the mankind recognizes much less yet, that the time has come, which the Lord has mentioned on earth. It recognizes neither the mental decline nor the urgend necessity of a divine intervention.... It lives and is afraid of the end of time and thus walks in darkest night.... in deepest spiritual darkness.... And that is why God will bring light.... He Himself will speak to the people, but not in love soft words, but He will speak to them with a powerful voice, that they may recognize Him and pay attention to His voice. So He will express Himself, that the one will recognize Him, who is faithful, but also this voice will not be proof of divine omnipotence and wisdom for the others. They will close their ears and want to hear nothing from a violent downfall of thousands and thousands of people. And yet they will have to hear it. The whole world will hear this voice and is conscious of its effect full of horror, because God wants to shake up the sleepers, to terrify the weak and to let recognize the strong their powerlessness.... He will pronounce a judgement and let atone them for violence and injustice....

Amen
