7645 The earth is school of the spirit....
July 11, 1960: Book 80
The earth has ceased to be a place of education for the spirit.... It must first be brought back into the right order, i.e., everything that is bound on it, from hard matter up to the human being, must first be brought back into the right order. from hard matter up to the human being, must first be brought back into the right order, all spiritual substances still bound in matter must be helped to serve, and the human being.... who is to serve in free will.... must likewise integrate himself into this order of eternity. must likewise integrate himself into this order of eternity, otherwise he will lead his earthly life in vain and thus the grace of embodiment will be withdrawn from him in favour of the spiritual substance which is ready for service and has already reached the degree of maturity which allows its embodiment as a human being. Yet the work of God's adversary is so strong that he, too, must first be put in chains so that people can fulfil their task of earthly life without being constantly influenced by him. Although the human being has free will and need not subject himself to the adversary's influence, his will is weakened because he does not acknowledge Jesus Christ.... because he is without faith and without love. And on this earth only a few people still change by acknowledging Jesus Christ as God's Son and redeemer from sin and death and hand themselves over to Him. The majority have already fallen prey to God's adversary and therefore no further upward development can be expected on this earth.... For this reason God will create a new earth where the spiritual's ascent development is guaranteed again, where people recognize their earthly task and live in accordance with God's will and where the spiritual still bound in the creations will also experience a faster development than is still possible on this earth. Endless long times always pass until a new period of development begins again, because people in the old earth period no longer strive for this development and are far more of an obstacle that the still bound spiritual can also ascend. For people act contrary to divine order in everything, they no longer know their purpose of existence, they don't believe in God and in the survival of the soul, they are inaccessible to all teachings and go open-eyed towards the abyss.... the renewed banishment in solid matter.... And therefore God, on the other hand, liberates that which was previously bound in this hard matter and lets it go on its upward course of development through the creations of the new earth, and all spiritual substances will now achieve faster development again because they are also surrounded by people who have developed the spirit of love within themselves and therefore also have an extremely favourable effect on the still bound spiritual substances in the plant and animal world. As soon as divine order, which is no longer respected on the old earth, is restored, all spiritual substances will reach maturity more quickly, which is necessary again for the next deformation. And people will also mature in their souls, for they live in love and thus with God and consequently also have to unite with God again more quickly, which is the purpose and aim of earthly life. For earth is only a transit station to the kingdom of light, but earthly life as a human being must also be evaluated accordingly, the soul must pass through the school of the spirit on earth in order to mature and be able to enter the spiritual kingdom as a soul of light. And this divine order is no longer adhered to on the old earth, and therefore it will experience a total change in that everything that is bound will be set free and be begotten into other forms again.... but just as the human being who has failed will lose his external form and sink back into the abyss.... in order to once again take the path through the creations of the earth.... Yet God's love and wisdom directs everything correctly, and He will truly let everything happen in such a way that it will serve the still bound spiritual being for the best...._>Amen
