5286 To understand the coming of the lord literally....

January 1, 1952: Book 58

Let it be said to all of you that I will come again when the time is fulfilled. I certainly want to enter your hearts, I certainly want everyone to personally experience My coming, to prepare a dwelling place for Me, so that he can say: "He is in Me and I am in Him." But My coming to earth on the day of judgment is not thereby eliminated, it is to be taken literally that I will be visible to My own, that I will return to earth as I once ascended to heaven. And this coming of Mine also ends the existence of this earth. Therefore you, who doubt it, don't want to believe it because My coming also confirms the end to you, because you, if you believe in it, also have to believe in an end and this thought frightens you. And yet, you will not stop what will come to pass according to the eternal plan of salvation.

Although everything I have spoken is to be understood spiritually, nevertheless, at the end of this redemption period a literal fulfilment of My words can also be credible to you, for I always stand by My word. My coming in the clouds is the last thing you will experience on this earth, you who belong to My own, for I Myself will fetch you before the earth with all that lives in it is destroyed. Even this last work of destruction is not believable to you humans, just as the rapture of My own is.... Although they are unusual phenomena which are contrary to natural law, they too are provided for in the law from eternity and included in My plan of salvation from eternity as a result of actions contrary to nature by you humans, for the reason that they no longer signify a compulsion of faith for anyone, for only My own will experience it fully consciously, while the others who oppose Me will themselves be affected by the work of destruction and this foreboding also causes the strong will of rejection of these words of Mine.... Everything I have proclaimed through seers and prophets will come true, everything that refers to the end is to be taken literally, and therefore I address the serious admonition to you humans to shape your lives such that you can expect this last day without fear when I Myself will come to earth to judge the living and the dead....

Amen
