1474 Imperishability of the divine word....
June 16, 1940: Book 24
Hear what the spirit from God wants to announce to you: Worlds will pass away, but the word of God will not pass away until all eternity. Because the word is divine truth, and truth remains. And so God again speaks to men, the necessity is given to announce the will of the creator to his creatures. But God wants to give men the last possibility to reflect; he wants to give men, to whom it is difficult to believe, a quiet suggestion to deal with the thought of him; he wants to make himself known to them in another way and help men to also find to God outside of tradition and to unite with him deeper and more intimately. This transmission of the divine word is an extraordinary grant of favour, caused by the great misery of the time, by the great distance from God. Unimaginable suffering means being separated from God, if man has decided earth life and enters the hereafter; and to avert these sufferings from the soul, God enters into such obvious connection with men and lets his word go to them, which is a proof of his infinite love towards men staying in deepest darkness. And still also this love is not quite recognized. Only few men receive the divine word as what it is; only few feel the great love of God in this word and now let this love have an effect on their souls. But most do not recognize it and consequently are also not touched by the power, which flows out of this word. And they will always and constantly deny because the adversary kindles the will to reject and mentally likewise has an effect on such men and illuminates everything refuting and denying. And therefore an enormous resistance opposes man receiving the divine word, which requires an indomitable will to break. But the will towards God helps to overcome everything; the will towards God is power because God himself shares such with him who desires him himself. And so the divine word will never be endangered as long as the will of man is turned towards God, and it is therefore impossible to want to destroy a word received so wonderfully, if this is striven for. Because this would be a beginning against the strongest power, which still let such work come into being through your will. The divine word must again be received by a willing earth child to give power to those who need such power out of God. Because the coming time brings severe trials over men in which only the divine word is comfort and power. The Lord wants to help all good on earth so that it does not feel the hardness so painfully and also does not waver in faith in God. When at the same time with the divine threat of punishment also the supply of power out of God is assured to men and it is up to every man to make use of this power, it is again up to the will of man to make the coming suffering bearable for himself when he pays attention to the proof of divine love and takes refuge devotedly in the protection of the divine saviour. His life is in God's hand, and it will be just as imperishable as the divine word, which goes to men, who are of good will.... .
Amen
