8361 The end is near....

December 23, 1962: Book 88

Every day brings you closer to the end.... For the time is fulfilled and My eternal plan of salvation will be carried out, which was recognized by My love and wisdom as successful for countless beings who are still in ascent development and need My help. And although you are not given the day and hour you can nevertheless expect this end with certainty as being imminent, for you are in the last days.... And this will pass very quickly and bring many unforeseen events by which you will be able to recognize the truth of these words ever more clearly. Yet whatever may happen I protectively keep My hands spread over My own, over those people who are consciously in contact with Me, who want to belong to My own and who are also closely united with Me through prayer and activity of love. Although it seems that the world will experience an upswing, people's prosperity will seemingly constantly increase and no thought will be further from their minds than that everything could suddenly change and the greatest adversity and gloom will befall people.... But as soon as I let My voice sound through the elements of nature, misery and chaos will set in, and the last phase on this earth has begun and will also pass very quickly.... And I will keep reminding you of this so that you do not become lukewarm and lethargic in this time which still offers you everything.... It will not remain like this and the hardship will affect you all the more terribly, you who know nothing of My eternal plan of salvation, who cannot draw strength from a living faith in Me, Who can and will always help if only I am called upon and thus acknowledged as God and creator, Who is full of love and uses His power because He is also your father, to Whom you should pray like children in spirit and in truth.... And truly, you will also endure the coming time of adversity, the time of greatest tribulation, and time and again you will be led out of every adversity as long as you keep to Me.... And the end will come just as surely not long after, for the day of the end has been fixed from eternity and it will be kept.... Therefore I can only ever call out to you humans: Remember the end.... Live in such a way that you need not fear the end, do not let yourselves be blinded by the apparent blossoming which you can observe everywhere around you.... Know that you live in the last days and make good use of them, then the last day need not frighten you either, for then you will only exchange this earth for a place of peace where I will transfer My own before the last work of destruction takes place.... which, however, is necessary for the still bound spirits which are to be liberated and which are to continue their upward development in new forms. The end has been announced to you long enough, for I have always informed you through seers and prophets that one day the day of judgment will come.... the day when everything will be 'judged,' i.e. transferred to where it belongs according to its degree of maturity.... be it the still bound spiritual or the human being who is also still on the path of his higher development and has let it come to a standstill through his wrongly directed will.... Everything has gone out of order and must be restored to the state of My order from eternity.... it has to be "straightened" so that the upward development of all spiritual things can continue again.... And you are now standing shortly before this 'judgment', and you will do well to reckon with it and prepare yourselves for a sudden end, so that you need not fear it.... But this requires faith in the truth of My predictions, and you will also gain this as soon as you make an effort to live a life of love, as soon as you strive to fulfil My will. Then everything I convey to you Myself from above will be understandable and credible in order to save you humans before the end comes....

Amen
