2258 Higher development and failure.... ending the redemption era....

March 13, 1942: Book 31

God has granted the beingness an extremely long time and given it every opportunity to mature.... But the possibilities are no longer utilized and therefore earthly life is pointless because it is unsuccessful. Spiritual currents remain unheeded and the inevitable consequence of this is that matter, which should actually be reduced, increases.... that the hunger for matter casts a spell over people, that they strive to return to that which they have overcome and from which they should finally free themselves. God does not hinder man and gives him what he desires. The slightest will for spiritual power is enough to be allowed to receive it unmeasured. But likewise also the will for the immature spiritual, the desire for union with matter, is enough that this will is fulfilled. God distributes according to merit and will.... therefore, as soon as the human being turns away from the spiritual towards what is still earthbound, he no longer strives for the soul's higher development and no longer needs the earth as an educational centre of the spirit. Nevertheless, the earth must continue to exist as such because this has been God's eternal plan.... Who has destined the earth for eternal times. And thus the earth will arise anew, it will harbour within itself the spiritual substance which did not recognize its purpose on earth, which did not have the desire to develop itself upwards, which was devoid of all love and only wanted to rule but not to serve.... Again the spiritual must tolerate endless times of compulsion around itself before it can leave the solid form again and strive upwards again under easier conditions.... An act of transformation will take place which no human mind can imagine, the earth will burst and devour everything that lives on it, with the exception of the small flock of believers whom God Himself cares for and protects from destruction.... One earth period has now come to an end and a new one is beginning.... an epoch of redemption will be completed and the final judgement will take place, which will bring to every human being what he has striven for.... eternal life or agonizing death in renewed banishment.... i.e. a state of complete lifelessness which the beingness feels and must feel as agony because it has not used the state of freedom of will in order to finally become free from the form....

Amen
