7491 New Year's eve word....

December 31, 1959: Book 79

You must seriously consider the thought that you are close to the end.... regardless of whether it is only your own end or that of the whole of humanity, because the time has expired which was made available to you humans in this period of redemption in order to release yourselves from the control of God-opposing power. You must familiarize yourselves with the thought that you are approaching the end. And you should prepare yourselves for this end. You can only be warned and admonished through the word of God, Who has instructed His prophets and servants to announce the end to you in His name, and you should take the divine word seriously and draw conclusions from it, you should give account to yourselves as to how far you are prepared when the end suddenly and unexpectedly reaches you. And you will have to admit yourselves that you still lack much for perfection and that you still need much help which only one can provide: Jesus Christ, the saviour from sin and death.... Where you lack, He will help, and if you go to Him with all your faults and weaknesses, with sins of every kind, and appeal to Him, He will release you from them, and you can now calmly await the end, you have turned to Him and He will now no longer let you fall. You yourselves are too weak, even if you are of good will.... you require an influx of strength which shall also strengthen your will, and this can only be conveyed to you by the saviour Jesus Christ, the saviour from sin and death, Who only awaits your call in order to be able to take care of you, in order to release you from His adversary's power, in whose chains you are until you have called to Jesus Christ for His help. He alone has the power over them, He alone can redeem your guilt of sin, He alone can strengthen you in the will for perfection, and He alone will do all this if only you approach Him for it when you call to Jesus Christ.... For with your call you surrender to your God and father of eternity, Who embodied Himself in Him on earth in order to accomplish the great act of salvation in you.... to redeem you from His adversary. You should think of all this when the near end is predicted to you again and again, when you are admonished or warned by the divine word.... Then you should only ever know that you will be pointed to Jesus Christ, and you should follow this advice.... And it will only be to your advantage. You will be doing your soul the greatest service you can do for it, for the soul will then have to deal with its fate in the kingdom of the beyond when the hour of its end has come. And if a blissful fate should await it, it will only find it at the side of the divine redeemer, but without Him the kingdom of beatitude will be closed to it.... And you can firmly believe that you are standing before the end.... You can believe that one day the time will become present which has been announced to you since the beginning of this era, that one day the earth will experience an upheaval because one day everything will have to be made anew again, so that the further development of all spiritual substances will continue, so that everything will be straightened again and the spiritual substances will be integrated into the creations of the new earth according to their state of maturity again.... This time has long been predicted and it will come with certainty, for the time is fulfilled and you all have to reckon with an imminent end if you are not called away into eternity beforehand....

Amen
