4159 Gift of prophecy....

November 5, 1947: Book 50

The gift of prophecy is only given to the person who makes use of it in the right, i.e. God-willed way.... who announces to his fellow human beings what he is able to see or hear as a servant of God. Judgment never comes upon people without prior announcement, they never remain unwarned. Warnings and admonitions, however, must come to them through the mouths of men, for people are to decide in free will for good or evil, and thus they must also be allowed to judge the predictions without constraint and be able to make a stand of belief or disbelief, it must be left up to them to change on the basis of the predictions, i.e., to decide on a God-pleasing way of life, they must by no means feel compelled to do so, and thus the predictions must be conveyed to them in a way which does not influence their free will. They are spoken by human mouths on behalf of God, and every religious person will undoubtedly believe God's servant, yet generally little faith will be placed in his statements because people consider the prediction of great events to be impossible as well as the fact that God Himself expresses Himself about future things through seers and prophets. However, since people are only made aware of forthcoming events in their spiritual interest for the sake of their work on their souls, individual people are given the ability to see into the future, which, however, cannot be generalised, but only those in God's service can be believed, which is why people should not presume to want to reveal future things who have not been commissioned by God to do so. God's spirit must make known to them what is to be revealed to their fellow human beings, and these revelations must be combined with admonitions for a God-pleasing way of life, otherwise they are pointless if not harmful, for God does not let seers and prophets arise amongst people in order to satisfy earthly curiosity. But since humanity's spiritual low necessitates a Judgment people will be warned beforehand and the knowledge about the development of earthly events will be made accessible to them, yet always in connection with people's spiritual good, which is why seers and prophets will always arise amongst people if people are in danger of falling prey to a coming Judgment and they should still remember their souls before it is too late. But anyone who is called by God to work for Him on earth is also given the gift by God to predict future things. And they can be fully believed, for soon the evidence will also be provided to them, for all predictions will come true....

Amen
