3406 Battle between light and darkness....
January 16, 1945: Book 44
The battle between light and darkness takes place most fiercely in the immediate vicinity of earth, for precisely the spiritual beings on earth are severely harassed by the forces of darkness, and therefore the spiritual beings full of light must also come close to earth in order to help people as long as they still live on earth. And that is why many beings of light are embodied on earth in the last days in order to be able to help directly and to form a bridge, so to speak, for the beings of light from the spiritual kingdom to people. For the forces of darkness have easier access to them because people are still full of darkness and listen more easily to the ideas of those forces, whereas the beings of light first have to overcome a sphere in which they have to conceal their luminous cover, and therefore they come to people unrecognized and they often don't want to accept their help. For the earth and its surroundings are little light-bearing, darkness has great power, and yet the light fights against the darkness. And wherever it shines it breaks through the darkness.... Where once the beings of light can become effective, there it can never again become night. And everywhere the beings of light embodied on earth pave the way for the spiritual beings of light, they light small flames everywhere, and the smallest shine of light attracts the beings of the spiritual kingdom, and it is magnified by them, often to the most radiant brightness, so that the light shines in a far radius.... And then the darkness is powerless, it can no longer extinguish the light, it cannot dim it, for the beings of light are stronger, and where they have once achieved victory they assert themselves and never again allow the enemy to come into their own. But the enemy also carries a light to people, but it is a deceptive light, it is the shine and glow of the illusory goods, of earthly possessions and of the world, which lure people with dazzling bright colours.... It is a false light because it only flares up and goes out, it is a will-o'-the-wisp light which radiates no warmth and which can never enliven. And the beings of light on earth are to uncover this false light, they are to present its ineffectiveness to people, they are to point them to the right light which warms and enlightens and awakens to life. And therefore the beings of light must be constantly active on earth so that the adversary does not gain the upper hand and the darkness on earth becomes ever more impenetrable, they must remain in constant contact with the beings of light of the spiritual kingdom and constantly catch the ray of light from there in order to pass it on into the darkness of night. And no ray of light will be lost which has found its way to earth....
The light will shine from the rising to the setting.... everywhere where people live the connection is established between them and the spiritual kingdom through thoughts which are directed towards infinity, through questions concerning the eternal deity and through the will which is meant for good. Rays of light can be directed everywhere, i.e. thoughts corresponding to truth which emanate from the spiritual kingdom, from beings of light, on God's instructions and are accepted by hearts capable and willing to love. But the light has to fight against the superiority of darkness. For the forces of darkness are extremely active in confusing people's thinking in order to extinguish the light, which again and again flares up like a tiny flame in the night. And so the battle of light against darkness has been going on for an eternity.... People's state of ignorance shall always be changed into a state of knowledge, and the beings of light of the spiritual kingdom will stand by their side without hesitation.... But the end time has dawned, and this means that darkness has descended so deeply upon the earth that the light beings' battle must become increasingly fiercer in order to banish it. For God's adversary fights with cunning and force and with utmost perseverance because he knows that his power will soon come to an end, because he knows that he will be bound and can no longer exert his influence on humanity. And thus the earth is surrounded by good and bad forces, by beings of light and beings of darkness, and their struggle is for the souls which still walk blindly along.... The bearers of light on earth and in the beyond work with love and seek to bring salvation to people languishing in darkness. The beings of darkness, however, are driven by hatred, they seek to plunge people into the abyss through unkind actions, where there is eternal night. And thus a constant battle takes place against these souls which will end on the day of the last judgment when the eternal light Itself will sit in judgment and separate light and darkness from each other.... For this is the end, that the light will shine and completely conquer the night, that the truth will triumph and the powers of darkness with their followers will be thrown into the deepest abyss, into impenetrable darkness, into the kingdom to which they belong by their own will....
Amen
