영적 부패의 시대가 영적 재건의 시대에게 자리를 넘겨줘야만 한다. 인류는 이제 영적 전환점을 맞이하고 있다. 혼은 이런 시대가 왔다는 것을 믿기를 원하지 않지만, 새로운 시대를 알 수 있게 해주는 모든 징조들이 이미 준비 중에 있다. 그 전에 영적인 모든 것에 대항하는 싸움이 있게 될 것이다. 이런 그 싸움의 결과가 사람이 그때까지 특별히 그에게 영향을 미치지 않았던 문제들에 대해 더 자세히 생각하게 될 것이다. 사람에게서 무언가를 빼앗으려고 하자마자, 사람은 그것에 대해 주의를 기울이고, 그 것을 소유하기 위한 싸움을 할 것이다.
이렇게 그리스도와 그리스도의 가르침에 대항하는 싸움이 이제 인류가 가능하다고 생각하지 않는 형태를 취하게 될 것이다. 두개의 당파가 형성이 되어, 서로 싸우게 될 것이다. 사람들이 예수 그리스도를 증거하는 모든 것을 파괴하기 원할 것이지만, 주님을 충실히 따르는 소수의 강한 저항을 받게 될 것이다. 소수의 사람들인 그들은 함께 모여, 모든 인류가 이제 경시하려고 하는 말씀의 능력을 그들에게 증거하기 위해, 하나님의 영으로 역사하게 될 것이다. 진리를 찾는 사람들은 자신의 느낌을 따라 예수 그리스도를 심장에 품고 있는 사람들에게 속한 것을 고백하게 될 것이다. 그들은 그들 편에서 싸우려는 결정을 하고, 승리하게 될 것이다.
이 때가 영적 전환점을 앞둔 특별한 때이다. 이 때가 투쟁과 절망의 시기이다. 그러나 하나님의 사랑과 지혜를 인정하는 모든 사람에게 힘이 임하게 될 것이다. 이 힘은 자신의 생명과 자신에게 속한 사람들의 생명을 두려워하지 않고, 따라서 하나님의 전능함을 선포하는 일로 나타날 것이다. 눈과 귀와 심장을 여는 사람은 이미 영으로 영의 세계로 받아들여질 것이고, 단지 강제적으로 모든 세상의 것과 분리되는 시간만을 기다리게 될 것이다.
그러나 수천, 수만 명이 하나님과의 연결을 잃게 될 것이다. 왜냐면 그들이 대적자편에 의해 다룸을 받기 때문이다. 그들 자신에게 깨달을 능력이 부족하기 때문에, 그들은 하나님의 음성을 부정하는 사람들이 가르치는 모든 것을 생각 없이 거부하고 받아들인다. 인류가 그리스도를 향한 그들의 잘못된 생각과 행동의 오류를 깨닫게 되기까지는 오랜 시간이 걸릴 것이다. 그러나 세상이 하나님의 권세를 흔들기 위한 일을 시작하면, 세상은 오히려 영적인 성장을 경험하게 될 것이다. 그러나 불행하게도 하나님이 이 땅의 자신의 종들을 통해 자신의 사랑의 능력을 눈에 보이게 나타내면, 이전에 그를 부인한 사람들도 비로소 하나님을 인정하게 될 것이고, 새로운 시대가, 이 땅에서 영의 역사가 일어나는 시대가 시작이 될 것이다.

TranslatorThe 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
