2918 Change in living conditions.... end time....

October 10, 1943: Book 37

Life will bring about great changes if it remains with you humans, for under the existing circumstances you will hardly change your way of life, you will hardly establish contact with God and prepare yourselves for the near end. You only regard the suffering on earth as a temporary state and therefore do not seriously attempt a total change, always in the hope of being able to lead a tranquil existence in peace and quiet in the foreseeable future. And you do not consider the great danger that such a peaceful way of life would mean for your soul. For you would care little about your spiritual development and the approaching end would find you completely unprepared because the world with its pleasures would still completely dominate you, thus you would not yet have overcome matter when you have to take your last test of will. And therefore you have to be made aware of the near end. Your thinking has to be guided into other directions, you have to be torn out of the tranquillity of everyday life and be faced with new tasks which require your serious participation. You have to mature through the adversity of your fellow human beings, i.e., it has to prompt you to do loving deeds, it has to awaken in you the will to help them so that you will come to the realization through this will that this will to help is actually your task on earth and that you will now make an effort to comply with this task. This change in your thinking will only bring about a change in your living conditions, for as long as these are in order the human being is afflicted by a certain inertia and will no longer do anything for the salvation of his soul. He would leave himself and also his fellow human beings without spiritual nourishment, for he would know nothing of their blessings and thus he would remain without strength and grace.... And therefore a time will dawn which will completely deviate from the previous living conditions, which will affect and touch every person because nothing will remain as before but everything will undergo a change which is so immense that it will also have an effect on the person, sometimes to his advantage and sometimes to his disadvantage, as soon as he does not humbly submit to the change. For God truly knows what serves humanity.... He knows about their adversity and He knows the means to remedy this adversity and He will also use them in order to avert the danger of a complete failure in the last days where possible....

amen
