4080 God's love and mercy in the last time before the end....

July 8, 1947: Book 50

God's great love and mercy will evidently become apparent in the last days before the end when the believers will live in hardest tribulation. It will be a time of most bitter hardship for people who want to remain faithful to Him, for the adversary will take drastic measures against anyone who stands up for his faith and for Jesus Christ and His teaching. The measures taken to enforce faithlessness will be of such severity that people will offer little resistance and almost without exception profess themselves against God. But those who know the truth, who live in love and therefore also in the right knowledge of God, who call upon Jesus Christ as redeemer for His help, will also recognise in the measures the one who is announced as the Antichrist for the last time before the end. And for this reason, they will stand all the firmer and wait full of confidence for God's help and His coming, and they will not be disappointed either. God's great love will be revealed to them, for He is close to them at all times, so that even the unbelievers would be able to recognise Him if they were not of bad will and therefore completely under the sway of Satan. Yet anyone who is still weak and not completely apostate will still be seized by God's mercy, and he will be offered many proofs of divine activity so that it will be made easy for him to believe and to withstand all threats from the world. Only good will must not be lacking, then God's hand will reach out to him even in the last hour. It is difficult to predict to people what will happen in this time, because Satan continues to work out new plans and outdoes himself with cruelties, inhuman decrees and shameful actions against the believers. The believers' fate is apparently unbearable and yet they will draw so much strength from God that they will be able to endure all oppression and not to feel the hardship as much because their gaze is directed heavenwards and the world and earthly things no longer tempt them. Moreover, they hear the voice of the Lord.... they know that He shortens the days, for His promise has given them comfort, and thus they every day expect to be delivered from earthly adversity.... And yet the last day still comes as a surprise even to them; it will come when there is no longer any possibility of winning souls, and this will be the case very quickly, for the separation will soon be completed, the courage of people's conviction is only slight, and the decision for or against God will be demanded in a short time, and therefore it will also be the prelude to the end, for the tribulation to which the believers are now subject calls for God's help, otherwise the small flock of His Own would also be overcome by weakness and God would never allow this to happen again.... And thus He will come as Saviour in utmost adversity and take His Own to Himself.... And then comes the Judgment as it is proclaimed in word and scripture....

Amen
