Fight of faith....

The earthly battle will come to an end and instead the battle will break out which is directed against faith and against everything spiritual. This has also been announced before so that men recognize when the end is near because this fight precedes the last end. Both men as well as God demand the last decision, only that men demand that faith is rejected, while God demands that he is acknowledged and this decision has to be made absolutely. The battle for faith is even more important than the battle for earthly possessions and earthly power, for now it will be shown to what extent humanity is still connected to God, to what extent it makes use of the strength from God and thus resists the world's desire. It will become apparent what immense strength is hidden in faith, i.e., how much more powerful the person is who deeply believes and thereby also lives in accordance with God's will, for he need not be active on his own but is always in contact with God and can make use of God's strength if he is to stand up for God and faith in Him for the sake of his fellow human beings. And this is why the coming battle of faith will be unavoidable, after all, a final clarification is to be achieved by a separation of spirits, i.e. of good and evil people, who will appear particularly conspicuously in the end. Then there will only be people who live in love and strive to grasp God with all their senses, and those who ridicule and persecute everything that points to divine striving, who deny God, who are utterly hostile towards His followers and who will not shy away from any means in order to achieve the goal of displacing God from people's thoughts. And there will no longer be any undecided or fickle people who have not yet finally made up their minds, but anyone who is not for God and the faith is completely against Him and must be addressed as an opponent of God. And this final separation of spirits has to take place so that a time of spiritual blossoming can follow again, which admittedly only starts on the new world but nevertheless begins after the completely disinherited time before the end of the old earth, for people who are in love and in truth will find each other and pass the short time of the battle of faith together and still prove the strength of faith to the unbelievers on earth, so that a few will still be offered the last opportunity to cross over into the camp of those who are faithful to God....

(22.6.1944) And before the end has come a clear separation will have emerged between the people who belong to God and the apostates, whom God will now judge according to law and justice. Yet only a battle of faith will bring about this separation, and this has to be carried out with all tenacity, and it will make great demands on people who want to remain faithful to God, for the adversary's way of fighting is brutal and ruthless and can very easily persuade those people to apostatize who are not completely firm and feel certain of protection from above. Yet God remembers their need and He is always ready to help.... He will reveal Himself to His own in great adversity and strengthen them to resist until the hour of deliverance from danger has come for them. The spiritual battle is far more significant than the battle of nations against each other, for in the latter people only lose their temporal life, they lose or gain earthly possessions, whereas now it is about their soul life, which is imperishable and therefore has to be valued quite differently. No battle is too difficult and no sacrifice too great if it is for the salvation of the soul for eternity. And since people do not ask themselves the decisive question as to whether they should strive for God or the world, the coming battle of faith will have to confront them with this question, and the decision will be difficult for those people who have not found God of their own accord and yet do not want to betray Him. The spiritual battle will require great strength which, however, can only be received from God Himself. And the human being must now seriously seek the connection with Him if he wants to survive this battle. Yet the end will inevitably come, and it can be recognized by the fact that people will become devils because of their faith, for they will try to take the life of those who give themselves to God, and they will now take action against God Himself. And this is the end.... A spiritual turning point is imminent but the old earth and its inhabitants will not experience it. A reshaping of the earth's surface is necessary so that a new period of redemption will start again with people who have a higher degree of maturity. And that is why there is a time of peace on the new earth where all struggle, spiritual or earthly, is eliminated because people live in love and know His will in most intimate union with God and eagerly strive to fulfill it. His will, however, is to live in the divine order.... in love for God and neighbor....

amen

BORBA VJERE....

Zemaljska borba će biti završena i umjesto toga će planuti borba koja je okrenuta protiv vjere i protiv svega duhovnoga. Ovo je također bilo već prije najavljeno, tako da ljudi prepoznaju, kada je Kraj blizu, jer ova borba prethodi konačnom Kraju. A ljudi, kao i Bog požuruju konačnu odluku, samo što ljudi traže da vjera bude odbijena, dok Bog traži da On bude priznat i ova odluka bezuvjetno mora biti donesena. Borba za vjeru je čak mnogo važnija od borbe za zemaljska dobra i zemaljsku moć, jer će se sada pokazati koliko još je čovječanstvo povezano s Bogom, koliko ono koristi Božju snagu i tako pruža otpor željama svijeta. Pokazat će se koja ogromna sila se krije u vjeri, odnosno, koliko je snažniji čovjek koji duboko vjeruje i zbog toga također živi prema Božjoj volji, jer on ne treba biti aktivan sam od sebe, nego je on uvijek u spoju s Bogom i može se koristiti Božjom snagom, ako on zbog bližnjih istupa za Boga i za vjeru u Njega. I zbog toga će nadolazeća borba vjere biti neizbježna, budući da kroz to treba biti postignuto konačno pročišćavanje, jer slijedi razdvajanje duhova, odnosno dobrih i zlih ljudi, koji će pogotovo na Kraju postati naročito upečatljivo očiti. Onda će još jedino biti ljudi koji žive u Ljubavi, te Boga pokušavaju dohvatiti svim poimanjem (sviješću, mislima, osjećajima, osjetilima), i takvih, koji sve ismijavaju i progone sve što ukazuje na Božansko nastojanje, koji poriču Boga i najzlobnije napadaju Njegove sljedbenike, i ne prežu pred nijednim sredstvom da bi postigli cilj, da izbace Boga iz ljudskih misli. Više neće biti kolebljivih ili prevrtljivih ljudi, koji se još nisu konačno odlučili, nego tko nije za Boga i vjeru, on je u potpunosti protiv Njega i mora biti naslovljen Božjim protivnikom. A ovo konačno razdvajanje duhova mora se dogoditi, tako da iznova može uslijediti vrijeme duhovnog procvata, koje će doduše otpočeti tek na novom svijetu, ali koje će ipak imati svoj začetak nakon potpuno ne-duhovnog vremena pred Kraj stare Zemlje, jer će se ljudi koji su u Ljubavi i u Istini naći i zajednički izdržati kratko vrijeme vjerske borbe, i nevjernicima na Zemlji još pokazati snagu vjere, tako da će još maloj nekolicini biti ponuđena posljednja mogućnost, da pređu prijeko u tabor vjernih Bogu.... (22 Lipanj 1944) A, prije nego dođe Kraj, pokazat će se jasna podjela između ljudi koji pripadaju Bogu i onih koji su se odmetnuli od Boga, koje će Bog onda suditi u skladu sa zakonom i pravdom. Ali, jedino borba vjere može donijeti ovu podjelu, i ova mora biti sprovedena sa svom ustrajnošću, a postavit će velika očekivanja na ljude koji žele ostati vjerni Bogu, jer je protivnikov način borbe brutalan i nemilosrdan, i vrlo lako može nagnati na pad ljude koji nisu potpuno učvršćeni i ne osjećaju sa sigurnošću zaštitu odozgo. Ali, Bog misli na njihovu nevolju i uvijek je spreman pomoći.... On će se otkriti Svojima u velikoj nevolji i osnažit će ih za otpor, sve dok za njih ne dođe čas izbavljanja iz opasnosti. Duhovna borba je daleko značajnija nego borba među narodima, jer u ovoj potonjoj ljudi gube jedino njihov vremenski život, oni gube ili dobivaju zemaljska dobra, dok se sada radi o životu njihove duše koji je vječan, i koji stoga mora biti uvažen na potpuno drugačiji način. Nijedna borba nije preteška, i nikakva žrtva prevelika, kada se radi o spasenju duše za vječnost. A budući da ljudi sami od sebe ne postavljaju odlučujuće pitanje, da li treba težiti Bogu ili svijetu, nadolazeća borba vjere treba pred njih postaviti ovo pitanje, a odluka će biti teška za ljude koji sami nisu pronašli Boga, a ipak Ga ne žele izdati. Borba vjere će zahtijevati veliku snagu, koja međutim može biti dobivena opet samo od Boga Osobno. I sada čovjek mora ozbiljno tražiti vezu s Njim, želi li odoljeti u ovoj borbi. No, Kraj dolazi neizbježno, i prepoznatljiv je po tome da će zbog vjere ljudi postati vrazi, jer će nastojati oduzeti život onima koji sebe daju u posjed Bogu, a onda oni postupaju protiv Samoga Boga. I to je Kraj.... Predstoji duhovna prekretnica, ali ju ne doživljavaju stara Zemlja i njeni stanovnici. Nužno je novo oblikovanje Zemljine površine, tako da započne novi period Otkupljenja sa ljudima koji pokazuju viši stupanj zrelosti. I zato je na Novoj Zemlji vrijeme mira, gdje je svaka borba, duhovna ili zemaljska, prekinuta, jer ljudi žive u Ljubavi, te u najdubljem (najiskrenijem) sjedinjenju s Bogom znaju Njegovu volju i gorljivo ju nastoje ispuniti. Njegova volja je, međutim, živjeti u Božanskom redu, u Ljubavi prema Bogu i prema bližnjemu.

AMEN
