4517 End of the redemption period.... total change of the earth....

December 19, 1948: Book 52

The earth carries much that is wicked and awaits redemption. But the time set for its redemption has passed, which is why it is approaching a new stage where the upward development is partly continued, partly started anew. Humanity is almost at the lowest level of spiritual development, apart from a few people who are already touched by the light and can discard the earthly cover. And now a total change has to begin, a new form has to be given to the spiritual, which again exerts a certain pressure to influence the spiritual to change. Such a change has become necessary if I don't want to completely abandon My creations and lose them forever, i.e. let them sink so far that a return to Me becomes impossible due to their resistance against Me. The spiritual being is not aware in its darkness that it deprives itself of all strength and only receives strength for evil from My adversary, through which it becomes increasingly more wretched. I take pity on this total lack of strength and withdraw the being from the adversary's influence. And thus a new period of development begins for the salvation of the apostate spiritual being.... But before that a fierce fire will be kindled for the purification of that which is not yet permeable to light but feels itself forced towards the light, which does not escape the mild glow even if its will is too weak to expose itself to its warmth. This fire will rage and destroy everything, it will only be very short in time but of such intensity that its effect will be quite enormous. And the individual people will be forcibly forced to decide.... for Me or for My adversary.... But then the spiritual will irrevocably take its prescribed course.... in light or in darkness. You humans will no longer find peace on this earth, for the source of the fire is created in a short time and you will all be affected. It is a cleansing fire in the truest meaning of the word to which you are now exposed but which can purify you crystal clear if the shells around your souls are not so hardened that even the strongest fire is of no use, but then this shell hardens even more and surrounds the soul again as firmest matter, which itself did not want it any other way. And thus everything spiritual will create heaven or hell for itself according to its will.... For the time has expired which was given to it for redemption....

Amen
