7194 The eternal light descended to earth....

October 26, 1958: Book 76

An unusually bright light shone when I descended to earth, for the darkness that lay spread over them had become impenetrable.... People found themselves in a night from which they knew no way out; the darkness did not leave them because no light shone anywhere. They would have sunk into this night without salvation if help had not come to them.... and I brought them this help.... A light shone to earth, so bright and penetrating that it could dispel the night where it was not maliciously prevented from shining. I came to earth Myself, the light from eternity, for I took pity on the hardship in which humanity found itself in this darkness. I looked for a human shell for Myself which was pure and able to shelter My light within itself; I chose a form for Myself because, in order to be able to dwell amongst people, I needed such a form so as not to compulsively influence people to accept the light I wanted to bring to them. I came to people as a 'human being' Who indeed harboured the 'light' in all its fullness within Himself but only let it shine when fellow human beings wanted to kindle a little light for themselves. And because I dwelled among people in a veil I was only slightly recognized as the 'eternal light' Which came to earth out of love.... I was not recognized as God and father Who wanted to help His creatures to become His children.... For in this dark world one ruled who did not want to allow a light to break through and who therefore tried everything to prevent Me from working on earth, who wanted to extinguish the light and thus deepened the darkness ever more. And I had to fight against him, I had to face him in battle if I wanted to bring salvation to people, if I wanted to release them from his power. For out of the dark night many cried to heaven for salvation because they could no longer bear his rule, and for their sake I descended to earth. I therefore became a human being because this battle had to be fought as a human being, for the earth was his domain where he had unlimited power which I, as 'God', did not break but as 'human being' wanted to defeat him.... in order to show all people a way to likewise become master over him. In the darkness that surrounded them they saw no way out of their imprisonment.... But I showed them the way.... I Myself walked the path as the man Jesus, and all they had to do was follow Him, and they will likewise be free from his power, they will likewise overcome him, for there will be light in those who take refuge in the eternal light, Who embodied Himself on earth in the man Jesus, and ask Him for help against the prince of darkness.... And the light will be victorious, for it descended to earth in order to redeem people....

Amen
