2546 Upheaval on earth.... call for help.... new earth....

November 12, 1942: Book 33

No force on earth is able to stop or avert the events that must affect people for the sake of their spiritual development. For all human will is powerless in the face of divine will, and thus it will come to pass as God has determined since eternity. And only he who bows to God's will, who accepts everything from His hand in a spirit of submission, will derive benefit for his soul. Spiritual development continues to decline and people only walk the earth as living beings who fulfil their functions but have severed all connection with their creator. They are only concerned with collecting earthly successes and disregard their actual task, the higher development of the spirit. Thus they make unjustified use of the vital energy, since they do not utilize it in accordance with divine will but strive for and accomplish things with it which only mean an increase of matter, which they are actually meant to overcome. Consequently, people must be deprived of the opportunity to live, for they abuse the grace of embodiment on earth granted to them. A spiritual low is to be noted, which hardly lets expect an upliftment; and this low is cause for a great upheaval on earth, which extends to all areas. People will be torn from their accustomed lives and thrust into completely new circumstances.... they will have to struggle with the greatest difficulties and suffer unspeakably. And this changed way of life can have a beneficial effect on them if they seriously think about it and try to fathom the cause. However, all suffering and misery can also be in vain if a person rebels and only endeavours to restore the old earthly way of life. Then God's mission will have been in vain for him and there will be no further opportunity on earth to further his spiritual development. But earthly power can do nothing against this powerful event, it is powerless in the face of divine intervention and must bow to God's will. Consequently, all will be affected, great and small, poor and rich.... all will have to recognize the transience of the earthly, no-one will be able to protect themselves from it and no-one will find help anywhere other than from God.... And those who are highly respected on earth will call for help just as much as the poorest and most unappreciated on earth. For all people are equal before God, and He seeks to win everyone for Himself through His intervention. He wants to show everyone the way to Himself and that is why He allows everyone to come into trouble. He takes everything from people because He wants to make them weak and helpless, for only in weakness does he find the path to God and only helplessness allows him to pray. And God can only come to the aid of those who pray because they consciously desire His help. God knows no other goal than to direct everything towards Himself, and He truly uses the right means to achieve this goal, yet He leaves people free and therefore the success will not be very great, for the majority of people do not recognize God's loving hand but only see the work of destruction which, however, has been caused by humanity itself having become unloving, they only see the decay of earthly things but not themselves as the cause of it. And the earth will still exist for a little while so that humanity will find itself again and return to God. (Yet it will never perish, it will absorb all living beings,) It will be reshaped and harbour new living beings again, it will carry the people who withstand the final test and, as children of God, have acquired the right to revive the new earth.... The earth will end a period of development, it will once again harbour the spiritual beings distant from God in the new works of creation, and a new period of redemption will begin, as it has been destined since eternity....

Amen
