2557 Time after the catastrophe.... strength and help from God....

November 21, 1942: Book 33

World events certainly continue on their course, but in completely different ways. divine will turns it around because human will does not do so, and the battle, which was evoked to a great extent through unkindness, would never come to an end. There is only a short time left and during this time the lack of love will increase many times over, i.e., the most unbelievable cruelties will take place and people will take little offence because they only ever look at the earthly consequences and affirm them. Countless people will come into hardship and misery and need God but will not find the path to God, instead they will nurture hatred within themselves and repay evil with evil. And that is why an event is planned that will leave no human being unscathed where God expresses Himself. Everyone will be affected, each in a different way.... everyone will be torn out of their usual life and will have to exert themselves with the utmost vigour in order to control the great misery and make life bearable. But life will go on for those whom God allows to live. But it will become a burden for many people who are not in contact with God, for only such contact makes life on earth bearable.... What people will experience is unimaginable, for the natural disaster through which God expresses Himself is so powerful that it will mean a single work of destruction and will be the end of time for many people. And the survivors will initially be unable to help and yet feel compelled to do so because the disaster is so great that anyone who is not entirely without love will feel compassion within himself. For it is necessary to bring help to all the unfortunate. It is partly the instinct of self-preservation which drives people to move and be active, and the power of faith will also enable people to accomplish the most difficult works. But the unbelievers will torment themselves unspeakably because they lack strength and the immense labour requires it. The hardship will be great and yet bearable with God's help.... And that is why the way is to be shown to people beforehand so that they can enter it when they are in need. World events are still taking their course, people are still making plans and thinking of a better future. And everything will turn out differently than they expect.... What still stands today can fall or experience the greatest changes.... And human will can do nothing but turn to the father and creator in faithful trust and commend itself to His grace. For God is ready to help if only He is called upon. And only with divine support can life continue in a bearable way after severe suffering if the human being does not want to sink into extreme unkindness and obtain unjustified relief by taking advantage of his fellow human beings. God's love warns them beforehand and He shows them the right way to guide His children through the difficult time ahead. And no-one needs to be afraid or remember the time with dread if he is deeply faithful and stands in love.... And therefore strive for strong faith and remain active in love, and you will lead earthly life to the end, for you will never lack strength if you sincerely ask for it from God....

Amen
