2861 Termination of world events through divine action....

August 26, 1943: Book 37

It is a higher power that decides world events, even if human will intends to bring about a decisive change. People can never determine with certainty the effect of what their will causes and thus also never determine the outcome of a struggle between nations which they themselves have to a certain extent started. divine will alone decides, and indeed in such a way as is beneficial for spiritual higher development, even if this outcome is not very beneficial for earthly life. For what people consider to be right and good need not be beneficial for the soul, and therefore people must also be prepared for an outcome which does not at all correspond to their will and expectation. It is not the earthly well-being of the individual that is decisive but only the spiritual development of people. However, this would be called into question if the outcome of world events were as desired, and God knows this and therefore intervenes Himself. He brings it to an end, i.e., He directs world events into completely different directions, He ends it in a way which will not be very pleasant for people who hope for great earthly success. People will be disappointed in every way because everything will turn out differently than it seems and because life will now be much easier and more renunciate and the improvement people expect will fail to materialize. Human will would never agree to this if a higher power did not clearly and unambiguously make its will known and man as such is powerless against it. There is only a short period of time left before world events undergo a sudden transformation which is of the greatest significance both spiritually and earthly. For this turning point lays the foundation for the later events, for the battle of faith, which is the result of divine intervention, because after it people are required to behave in a way that is completely contrary to faith and divine teaching. People believe that they can restore the old conditions through such demands and therefore proceed rigorously, they show no consideration for people's faith but try to completely eliminate it and make people apostate from it. And the adversity will not stop, it will just be different than before; world events will certainly be over but humanity will not be released from tribulation because it still needs it for its spiritual development and God Himself will therefore assert His power and His will so that humanity will recognize Him and His working....
