Spiritual turning point.... Fight against Christ....

The age of spiritual decay has to give way to an age of spiritual renaissance, and humanity is now facing a spiritual turning point. Although it is not willing to consider this time to have come, all signs are already being prepared that indicate a new era. A battle against everything spiritual will start first, and the result of the battle will be that man shall deal more closely with problems which until then did not particularly affect him. As soon as one wants to take something from man, only then will it be noticed, and on that occasion, there will also be a fight for its possession. And so, the battle against Christ and His teaching shall now also take on forms that humanity does not consider possible. And two parties will be formed that fight against each other. One will want to destroy everything that bears witness to Jesus Christ, but will meet with fierce resistance from the few faithful followers of the Lord. These...., which are outnumbered, shall unite and work in the spirit of God to bear witness to all of humanity of the power of the Word that is now to be dismissed. And the people who seek the truth will sensitively confess to those who carry Jesus Christ in their hearts, and the battle shall also be decided on that side and lead to victory. It is an unusual time which precedes the spiritual turning point, it is a time of struggle, hardship and despondency, and yet strength will come to all those who recognise God's love and wisdom, and this strength shall express itself such that they will not fear for their own lives as well as for the lives of their loved ones, and so, these will proclaim God's omnipotence, and anyone who opens his eyes, ears and heart shall already be spiritually accepted into that world, and only await the hour which will bring a powerful (forcible?) separation from everything earthly. Yet thousands upon thousands are losing all connection with God because they are being ensnared by the opposing side and, since they lack power of realisation, thoughtlessly reject and accept everything taught by those who reject the divine voice. And it will be a long time before humanity realises the error of its thoughts and actions, which are directed against Christ. But whatever the world begins to shake the power of God, it shall still experience the spiritual ascent, but unfortunately only when the love? (power?) of God will express itself visibly through His servants on earth. Then, even those who previously denied Him will recognise Him, and a new time will dawn, a time of spiritual working on earth....

Amen

1592 Matter.... Service.... Abuse of free will....

Everything on earth has its purpose, and nothing has emerged from God without meaning or purpose; therefore, also the course of development of all spiritual substance must progress incessantly. The still will-less spiritual is seized by God's will, which requires (some) matter, and the spiritual therein is now forced to serve. So, the course of development is as it were inevitably secured. The spiritual must go the way determined for it, even if its will would like to direct itself against it. Thus, God mercifully takes care of all beings which emerged from Him and secures their higher development in order to be able to shorten the path to the state of free will, for the being would fail in this if the distance from God were even greater than it is now, due to the long course before during the embodiment as a human being. It would require far greater strength of will to defy all opposition, and the human being would hardly be able to muster this strength of resistance as his will to reject God would still be too great. Hence, the being must allow itself to be shaped according to God's will, and now serves in a state of compulsion, whereas the human being, in a certain freedom of will, must decide to serve in order to develop his soul higher. Only service brings final redemption, for through the human being's free will service is now a sign of love, and this must underlie every action. However, if matter is utilised by the human being...., that is, forced to serve.... and this serving action does not correspond to God's will, then the spiritual substance will indeed be redeemed, but the shackle from which the spiritual substance has escaped will envelop the human being's soul, who has initiated such an act against God's will, and it will be unimaginably burdened, and its own liberation will be jeopardised as a result. And so, the human being can misuse his free will and set matter tasks which completely contradict divine will, and the spiritual substance within matter has to comply with the human being, and serve him even though he demands the wrong things from the being. The adversary uses this means in order to subjugate both the human being himself as well as the spiritual within matter. The human being has to answer for it, but the spiritual withinin matter does not, since it is forced to do something that is wrong before God. For it cannot resist as long as it is still bound in form, and also does not have the power of realisation which is necessary to be able to be held responsible for its actions. However, this is inherent in the human being, for he will certainly be able to differentiate between good and evil, and if his behaviour now visibly corresponds to evil he is now abusing his free will. He does not redeem himself during his earthly existence but his state of soul remains a low one through his own fault.... Amen

Geestelijk keerpunt – Strijd tegen Christus

Het tijdperk van geestelijk verval moet voor een tijdperk van geestelijke opbouw wijken en de mensheid staat nu voor een geestelijk keerpunt. Ze is weliswaar niet genegen om deze tijd als gekomen te beschouwen, maar alle tekenen kondigen aan, dat een nieuwe tijd zich laat herkennen. Er zal eerst een strijd beginnen tegen al het geestelijke en het resultaat van die strijd zal zijn, dat de mens zich nader met vraagstukken bezighoudt, die tot nu toe niet bijzonder op hem drukten.

Zodra men de mens iets ontnemen wil, wordt er eerst op gelet en dan wordt er ook om diens bezit gestreden. En zo zal nu ook de strijd tegen Christus en Zijn leer vormen aannemen, zoals de mensheid het niet voor mogelijk houdt. En er zullen zich twee partijen vormen, die tegen elkaar strijden. De ene zal alles willen vernietigen, wat van Jezus Christus getuigt, maar op hard verzet stuiten bij de weinige trouwe aanhangers van de Heer.

Deze, en dat zijn er weinig, zullen zich verenigen en in de geest van God werkzaam zijn om de hele mensheid een getuigenis te geven van de kracht van het woord, dat nu van de hand gewezen moet worden. En de mensen die de waarheid zoeken, zullen zich overeenkomstig hun gevoel uitspreken voor degenen, die Jezus Christus in het hart dragen en van deze zijde zal ook de strijd beslist worden en tot de overwinning leiden.

Het is een ongewone tijd, die aan het geestelijk keerpunt voorafgaat. Het is een tijd van strijd, van nood en moedeloosheid en toch zal allen, die Gods liefde en wijsheid erkennen, kracht toegestuurd worden en deze kracht zal zo tot uiting komen, dat ze niet zullen vrezen voor hun eigen leven, evenals voor het leven van degenen, die bij hen horen en zodoende zullen ze de almacht van God bekendmaken en degene, die de ogen, oren en het hart opent, zal geestelijk al in deze wereld opgenomen worden en alleen nog maar wachten op het moment, dat een sterke scheiding brengt van al het aardse.

Maar vele duizenden verliezen elke verbinding met God, omdat ze door de tegenstander bewerkt worden en, omdat het hen aan onderscheidingsvermogen ontbreekt, ze gedachteloos alles afwijzen en aannemen wat degenen, die zich afwijzend ten opzichte van de goddelijke stem gedragen, hen leert. En het zal een lange tijd duren voordat de mensheid haar verkeerde denken en handelen, dat tegen Christus gericht is, inziet.

Maar wat de wereld ook onderneemt om de macht van God aan het wankelen te brengen, ze zal toch de geestelijke vooruitgang meemaken, maar jammer genoeg pas dan, wanneer de liefde van God zichtbaar tot uiting zal komen door Zijn dienaren op aarde. Dan zal Hij ook door degenen, die Hem eerst verloochenden, erkend worden en er zal een nieuwe tijd aanbreken, een tijd van geestelijk werkzaam zijn op aarde.

Amen
