2094 Need for intervention from above.... disaster....

October 3, 1941: Book 30

The present spiritual state necessitates an intervention from above, and this is the only explanation when an unforeseen event causes terror and turmoil in the world. At a time when humanity only pays attention to earthly life, the adversary has it completely under his control and this manifests itself in blatant unkindness, in offences against the divine order and in an opposing attitude towards the eternal deity as well as spiritual striving. And God foresaw this spiritual state of humanity, and He has always pointed out that He will reveal Himself in an extraordinary natural event which, from a purely external point of view, is a catastrophic work of destruction but which nevertheless can also bring salvation to countless souls who are in danger of losing themselves to the powers of the underworld. Man is currently abusing his free will in such an obvious way that God wants to warn him to continue on his chosen path. He makes him realize the frailty of that which alone seems desirable to him. And He seeks to direct his thoughts to other, more enduring things. Life will approach people in a form that seems almost unbearable to them. But this is the only possibility of help which at the same time also gives the beingness which is still banished in the solid form the possibility to become free and to start its course of development on earth in another form. The human being, as the most highly developed creature, will perceive this work of destruction as cruelty, but the still immature being welcomes it as an act of liberation from agonizing encapsulation. The human being in realization knows about the context of things, he knows about the necessity of such an intervention on the part of the deity, and therefore it is also understandable to him that only divine love expresses itself, even if nameless misery comes upon humanity as a result. For otherwise it can no longer be saved from destruction. The physical death of the body can still be an awakening to eternal life, but physical life on earth in peace and contentment can result in spiritual death. And people on earth cannot grasp what this means, and if they knew then every means would be right for them to save themselves from eternal downfall. But ignorance can only be banished if people willingly open their eyes and ears when God reveals the truth to them through a human mouth.... but in their blindness they prevent all spiritual activity and thereby block their own path to truth and knowledge. And there is spiritual darkness on earth which in turn requires that a ray of lightning illuminates people, that light is kindled so that those who are willing find the right path.... For these God lets the word come to earth beforehand, which draws their attention to the will of God and to the coming time. For God announces it to people beforehand so that they will not experience the day unprepared which has been determined since eternity....

Amen
