2741 Failed earth walk.... another course of development.... God's help....

May 16, 1943: Book 34/35/36

Countless beings are heading towards ruin, they are heading towards an abyss which will mercilessly devour them unless the human being's will itself urges him to turn back and the soul is still saved in the last hour. People are unaware of their misguided earthly existence if they do not live and utilize it appropriately, nor do they accept instructions because they believe nothing and only regard the earth as an end in itself and not as a means to an end. Thus they cannot be instructed by talking and therefore harsher means have to be used, means which are indeed very painful but which can also be successful if the human being is not already too hardened and thus even more hardened. Means must be used that make people realize that even the earth itself can be shaken to its foundations and that it offers no guarantee of a carefree existence that fully satisfies people. It must be proven to man that his concern for earthly goods is in vain if the will of God is not respected and the earth therefore no longer fulfils its actual purpose. Man strives for nothing more than earthly goods and remains in a de-spiritualized state; his soul is in greatest distress because it does not develop upwards but downwards. And now that the time of the end has come, its earthly course has also come to an end and the time of its higher development is over. Now endless times can pass until the soul has to pass its earth life test as man again, and this endless long time is exceedingly agonizing for the spiritual, which has failed in earth life and therefore has to cover the course through earth life, the development on earth, anew. What this means, men cannot assess, and because they believe nothing, they also do not visualize it or seriously think about it. But God announces it to people, He draws their attention to the fact that they are in greatest danger, He constantly warns and admonishes them through His servants, through earthly events, through suffering and worry and especially through His word, which He conveys to earth in order to urgently inform people to change their lives and to follow God's guidelines so that the great spiritual adversity will be remedied, so that the soul will be protected from having to cover this renewed earthly path, so that it will avert unspeakable suffering from itself. With merciful love the father in heaven looks upon His earthly children who are going the wrong way and cannot find their way back to Him. He wants to come to their aid and approaches them unrecognized, yet they do not listen to His admonitions and warnings, they reject His messengers sent to them by His fatherly love; they do not believe and therefore cannot be instructed either, and the great danger they are in cannot be made credible to them. And that is why the earth will be shaken to its foundations; the language of the forces of nature will bring about what the language of fellow human beings cannot achieve. Man shall ask himself anxiously what he lives for.... he should learn to recognize the futility and transience of earthly things in order to direct his aspirations towards other things than before. A tremendous destruction must take place because this is the only way to teach people to think differently.... because everything that epitomizes earthly life must be taken away from them and because they must realize the truth of what was previously proclaimed to them by fellow human beings as the divine word. They should learn to believe of their own accord, they should know that their souls are in great need if they themselves do not allow their will to become active and work towards the ennoblement of their soul irrespective of earthly things....

Amen
