2836 Latest educational tool.... new development course....

August 4, 1943: Book 37

And you humans have to submit yourselves to the creator's will, for since you have misused your free will it will be taken away from you again and you will have to go through another course of development in a state of compulsion which is agonizing for you, where you are no longer allowed to determine yourselves but only divine will comes into effect. God knows about all these torments of the new course of development for the spiritual now embodied in man, and His love and mercy seeks to avert these from His earth children as far as possible; He would like to help them that they still bend their will under that of the creator in the old earth life, so that they do not belong to those, who cannot exist before God at the end of this redemption period and therefore have to be banished anew in the solid form. And therefore He still uses all means beforehand in order to change their will. This is why you humans have to regard everything that happens around you, no matter how painful it is, as the last means of education which God tries on you for the sake of your salvation. Anyone who rigidly persists in his will, i.e. who does not bow to divine will.... i.e., who only lives in self-love and disregards love for his neighbour and thus does not fulfil God's will, has little success to expect from his earthly life; even the last means of education will no longer change him, and the last days with the most severe suffering will not bend his God-rebellious will.... He is lost for eternity and a new life on earth in bondage is his fate. Unspeakable suffering will therefore still befall the earth beforehand, caused by human will itself, because satan confuses people's thinking and drives it to cruel works of destruction.... but on the other hand also through the will of God Himself, Who has likewise planned a work of destruction since eternity in order to liberate countless still bound beings and thereby let people on earth get into such trouble that they should turn to Him for help.... And what now comes over the earth.... regard it as the last means to win souls for God.... believe that it is a sign of God's great love and mercy, and try to make yourselves worthy of this love by looking within yourselves and making an earnest effort to change. For there is only a short time left until the final destruction of everything that now lives on earth....

amen
