3397 The earth as a lightless star.... light reception....

January 7, 1945: Book 44

Countless worlds proclaim the glory of God to their inhabitants, and everywhere He is praised and glorified as creator and sustainer of these worlds. Thus He is also acknowledged by the beings inhabiting those worlds as long as they are not completely undeveloped, i.e. inhabitants of lightless stars. The earth is also a still lightless heavenly body, and its inhabitants have different degrees of development, and the recognition and acknowledgment of the eternal deity is also corresponding. The beings on earth, the human beings, are indeed constantly supplied with light, the knowledge of God is conveyed to them so that they can attain the recognition of God and then likewise praise Him as their creator from eternity. Yet the light can only shine and unfold its brilliance if vessels can be found to receive it.... where the will exists to be regarded as light bearers of a lightless heavenly body. God is recognized and loved by those light bearers, praise and honour are paid to Him and His name is held sacred. Yet only a few are, and the earth remains in darkness, it is one of the celestial bodies which harbour ignorant beings and which can never shine by themselves, although undreamt-of luminosity can flow towards them, thus these celestial bodies mean constant battle with darkness for the inhabitants.... Their aim is light, yet the inhabitants of such celestial bodies must strive towards the light, they must catch it and hold on to it. They must seek to recognize God and strive towards His nearness, then light can radiate to earth in all abundance, and it can become a body of light, a luminous heavenly body, because light can constantly flow to it if people, in clearest knowledge of God, love Him as creator and sustainer and are united with Him, Who is the eternal light, through love. For the earth and its inhabitants have been granted the incomprehensible privilege that eternal love itself took this heavenly body as its abode, that it carried the light to earth, thus illuminating a lightless heavenly body with its rays, and that this light will not be taken from it eternally as soon as its inhabitants join the light and let it take effect on them. The earth can be recognized as a brightly shining star in the universe if only people's will strives towards the light, if people make an effort to unite with the eternal light. Then the earth can never again become lightless, for where the eternal love Itself shines Its light, there can never again be darkness, there the lightlessness is banished.... The creator of heaven and earth is recognized, and His omnipotence, wisdom and love are praised....

Amen
