2500 Announcement of the catastrophe....

October 8, 1942: Book 33

You truly need My help because you no longer recognize Me. You seek Me in the distance and do not know that I am so close to you and accompany you on all paths. But I cannot speak to each one of you because you do not heed My voice. And so you go astray, for I can only guide you if you entrust yourselves to Me and ask for My guidance. I am indeed always with you and wait for your call of petition so that I can seize you; yet how seldom do you need Me and how distant you are from Me as a result. Your plight is truly indescribable, for even if you speak My name your heart is not with you and I do not respect words alone.... And so a great transformation is now taking place on earth and you shall all be witnesses to My power and greatness. What I have proclaimed in word and scripture will be fulfilled, for the hour has come even though humanity is not yet prepared. For My mercy turns to those whose will is good and who are too weak to decide. I want to come to their aid, even if they do not want to recognize help at first if they see a work of destruction that is beyond their imagination. I know their hearts and therefore I stand by them in their greatest need.... I will reveal Myself to them and thus they will recognize Me and thank Me that I have taken care of them in this adversity. My love truly does not want you to suffer, yet you pay no attention to My gentle voice and admonitions and if I do not want you to be completely lost then I will have to deal with you severely and pull you back from the abyss towards which you are heading. And therefore pay attention to what is coming, remain in prayer so that I can stay with you at all times and always take refuge in Me if you are in danger of succumbing. For My will is able to avert the most difficult things from you, you who fight for Me, My love directs and guides everything, and even if it may seem to you that I have completely abandoned you.... This, too, is merely a sign of My love so that you will call upon Me in times of need and I will be able to give you what you ask for. For you are My creatures and therefore I love you and want to save you from your adversity. And whoever wants to serve Me shall be blessed by Me....

Go within yourselves and try to purify your heart, fight against unkindness and irascibility and become full of kindness and gentleness. Consider that you are rejecting Me through your way of life if you lead it completely contrary to My commandments.... consider that you are unable to hear My voice and that you are moving further and further away from Me.... consider that your spirit cannot come alive if you lack love, that you destroy every connection with good spiritual forces and you hand yourselves over to the forces of the opposing power, that I cannot work in you, that you cannot receive the emanation of My love and go through earthly life in poverty. I do not want to leave you in this adversity and therefore I have to deal with you harshly if you do not listen to My gentle persuasion. I have to let an adversity come upon you which is so great that there is only one way left for you to flee to Me and to ask Me for salvation if you don't want to be lost for eternity. My hand must be firm because a gentle hand will not be able to restrain you. And blessed is he who still recognizes the hand of the father in heaven at the right time in this adversity, blessed is he who finds his way back to Him, who as His child requests help from the father.... The father's love accepts all and turns suffering into blessing. And I bless those who serve Me in this adversity, who stand by Me even in suffering and try to help their fellow brothers and sisters spiritually and also physically.... I bless all those who allow Me to work through them, who contribute towards revealing My will, who persevere in their faith in Me when everything around them threatens to totter. I will stand by them in adversity, I will strengthen them and not let their confidence be put to shame, I will pour out My spirit upon them so that they proclaim God's closeness and His love and mercy.... And anyone who believes their words will noticeably realize My strength and the adversity of the time will be bearable for him. But it has to come.... People bring it upon themselves through their way of life, through their lack of love and their unbelief.... And therefore know, you My believers, that the day is drawing ever closer which will show people the power and greatness of their creator, but also know that He will protect everyone who trusts in Him and who desires to be His child.... For My love encompasses all of you who love Me and strive to fulfil My will....

Amen
