Reasons, Process, and Consequences of theDevine Intervention

BD 2033 received 17.08.1941

Catastrophe ....Fulfilment of the Scriptures ....God's love for humani ....

Only a few people turn their attention to the signs of the time, yet these fewknow that the time has come which Jesus revealed, for it is coming to pass asit is written, and they realise that every period of time has been preordainedfor eterni .... ere is no doubt that that a terrible catastrophe is aboutto befall earth .... God's love is infinite and so is His mercy, and whateverwill come upon earth is only based on His love. For without this happeninghumani would be doomed. God knows of the many misguided people, oftheir wrong will, of their heartlessness; He knows that humankind is in astate far removed from God, and He takes pi on their spiritual hardship.He has no other objective but to change this pitiable state of humani , toremedy it, to save people from utmost distress. And He foresaw humani 'sadversi and, during the time He lived on earth, announced what His loveand mercy would bestow upon people in order to save them. Yet humanicannot and does not want to believe, for it no longer recognises God, itlaughs and scoffs instead of taking stock of itself and continues on the pathwhich is leading to disaster. And the hour will come when the extent ofadversi will be immense, when the elements of nature will rage such thatpeople will be incapable of thinking and taking actions, yet there is noother possibili for people to recognise their weakness; there is no waywhich could persuade humankind to turn to God without such suffering,and if it is not to go entirely astray it must accept this event which has beenpredetermined for eterni and will come to pass as the Lord proclaimed....

Amen

Prediction of a devastating event ....

It is very beneficial for all of you to read the words of the Bible, and youwill realise that the Lord in His time has announced His coming. eforthcoming divine Judgment is not the Lord's will but solely the will ofhumani , which endeavours towards an almost complete separation fromfaith which will result in descending further into spiritual darkness. Purelyto put an end to these goings-on and to save what has not yet been entirelytaken in by the night, the Lord will fulfil His Word .... For His spiritforesaw the present as well as the approaching time, and in His kindnessand gentleness the Lord has le no stone unturned in order to be able toprevent the divine Judgment. Everyone presently living on earth will beinformed of it beforehand and able to avert the judgment from himself,insofar as that he will be protected from every danger by the Father'sinvisible hand, if only he trustingly turns to Him and thus acknowledgesHis power and love .... e many events preceding this in order to wakepeople up will also show you that the time is close at hand.

is time will not pass any person by without a trace, and there willbe many signs which are intended to arouse people from their spirituallethargy and draw their attention to the visible intervention of an eternalDei . And the adversary will have his hand in everything and influencepeople everywhere to listen only to the thoughts and words of the worldand to reject everything spiritual, for in their dominance and arrogancepeople are so convinced of their own strength and power that, by necessi ,the evidence of their own weakness and inadequacy has to be demonstratedto them through misfortunes which human hands are unable to prevent. Atfirst they will certainly accept such strokes of fate without experiencing anyparticular effect to their thinking .... Yet the events will happen increasinglymore o en and even make arrogant people inwardly tremble as they realisetheir vulnerabili . And one such event is being prepared by the Lord ....

He will intervene in people's arbitrary activi of injustice and perceptiblyexpress His will to them .... is time will numb all emotional souls, forthe scale of the event will be too powerful as to be considered coincidental.And in case of the event repeating itself many people will wake up from

2

their sleep and prefer the dawning day to the darkness of spirit .... andto preach the Word of God will be the rewarding task of God's servantson earth, for nothing in the world happens without consideration ....Nothing is hidden from the Creator's knowledge, and thus the Lord'svisible intervention will not be without purpose and meaning for manypeople, but His intervention will be recognised as the helpful hand of theHeavenly Father which everyone should be willing to grasp. For the timeis near of which it is written in Word and Scripture ....

Amen

BD 2555 received 18.11.1942

Lack of understanding for the prophecies ....Necessi ....

Only a few people realise the seriousness of the time, and therefore thecoming events can only be made plausible to a few. As long as they merelystrive for the well-being of their body they will only pay attention to hap-penings which are related to it and cannot and will not understand a changeof world events caused by spiritual urgency. For spiritual experiences areunfamiliar to them and all such references are deemed insignificant andunimportant, if not entirely wrong, by them. To announce the coming hap-penings to them at present will have little success and yet, they, too, shallbe warned so that no-one will live to see the day in complete ignorance.For what they do not want to believe as yet can suddenly appear credible tothem and motivate them to direct their mind towards God and call uponHim in distress. Spiritual thoughts are o en inconvenient to a person sincethey only undermine his earthly life; as a result, he discards them whenthey surface and thus he cannot come to realisation either. As soon as afellow human being wants to inform him and convey spiritual gi s to himhe declines or ignores the gi . And thus he will not use the time which stillseparates him from the great natural event, so it will take him by surpriseand completely bewilder him. And yet he cannot be helped in any otherway but by mentioning the momentous change even though he is not fullycapable or willing to take it in. For even the certain that the prophesy willfulfil itself can already lead the person to sudden realisation.

3

God's love comes to meet every person, and He sends his admonitionsand warnings to everyone, for He knows people's weaknesses and wantsto help them when they are in trouble. But most of the time people won'tlet themselves be helped because they don't think they need it. And yetthey suffer immense hardship for they have no inner contact with God,they have distanced themselves from Him and therefore won't listen toHis voice which is speaking to them through a human mouth. ey do notrecognise it as God's voice and thus it will not affect them because they closethemselves to its effect. Every day they live on earth in ignorance of spirituallife is a lost day and there are not many more, for the great earthly adversihas not yet come to an end and humani is facing a bigger one still, whichis inevitable for the sake of people's spiritual development. It will cost manypeople's lives and bring their opportuni for development on earth to anend. God wants to help them while there is still time and He sends Hisservants and representatives to them so that they will speak in His nameand remind them to consider their souls and strive for higher spiritualdevelopment. And if they listen to them they can more easily endure whatwill come to pass, because they will realise that nothing that happens onearth is without meaning and purpose and that spiritual development isthe ultimate purpose of earthly life ....

Amen

BD 7830 received 19.02.1961

Renewed prediction by God's Word ....

You still don't know what it means to be spoken to directly by Me becauseyou people do not believe that your God and Father from high talks toyou. For you are still of unenlightened spirit and you deem this not tobe possible. You therefore still have a very wrong understanding of Godbecause you put yourselves completely beside the Might that created youand thus cannot feel Its love because you are without love yourselves andtherefore the working of the eternal love is incomprehensible to you. But,in not to remote a time you shall have proof that your God and Creator trulydoes speak and has spoken to you, for you to go through the fulfillment ofMy continuous announcements yourselves; and that you will go through

4

a natural disaster of greatest extent, which has never before befallen theearth.

Over and over I announce to you these happenings without finding anyfaith. But I want you to be able to believe when these My announcementswill come true, for then I want you to believe too on the shortly a erwardsfollowing end and will prepare yourselves towards it. For the purpose of allMy predictions is just always that you do sincerely tackle your soul-work,that you make well use of the short time and then live through the end,regardless, and not to be lost again for eternal times. i.e., having to bear therebanishment [into matter] which you are irrevocably threatened with atthe arrival of the end: if having not found your way to Me yet.

I just want to save you humans but not leave you to perish, but I cannotinfluence you against your will. I therefore talk to you through My messen-gers and make you aware of the near end, I remind you to keep thinking ofyour earthly purpose. I keep telling you over and over my divine teachingof love and all of you could believe if you just had an earnest will to achieveyour earthly purpose of life. But you live a carefree life without any seriousthought because you don't believe in an a erlife of the soul. But I cannotdo more than passing on the truth about your being and your destiny byMyself .....I cannot do more than directly talk to you by My messengersand to explain everything as comprehensible to you to the point where youcan truly believe. But you don't want to and you can't be forced to believeMy words from on high. Yet you ought to pay attention to every worldevent, to the condition amongst people and to the obvious spiritual low.You also ought to be critical towards yourself and your walk of life and youshould meditate about the meaning and purpose of the earthly life .....Youthen would recognize the condition of man on your own and consider itplausible, this condition cannot remain like this; a change is due to occurand then attention will be paid to My word from on high. Yet, for obtainingfaith the good will is required, for I help everyone who'd like to rise fromthe depths, who directs his thoughts towards Me in striving for recognitionof the right and to detest the wrong .....

Truly, no better information can be given to you people than by My word....Truly you can find no better explanation except I give it to you by meansof the direct address and you can believe it - it's the great spiritual need

5

which causes Me to grant help to you people on earth in the way that Idirect the truth towards you, which is foreign to you, because My opponentis doing and has been doing everything to increase the darkness upon youpeople, that you don't see anything properly anymore. To also prevent youfrom recognizing the voice of your God and Father who wants to help andbring the light to you prior to the coming of the end.

Listen to Me when you hear My voice by means of My messengers, donot refuse what they bring you, for you who do not believe are in greatestdanger ....And you can still get saved and find faith because the plain truthis presented to you ....And I will give you proof of the truth of it becauseit will very soon be fulfilled what there was proclaimed a long time agoalready: that the earth will be befallen by an enormous natural happeningas not experienced before ....And soon a erwards the end will truly comelike proclaimed in word and scripture ....

Amen

Reasons for the intervention of God

BD 1456 received 06.06.1940

Omnipotence of divine love ....World events ....

Record the following: You humans have the wrong idea about the omnipo-tence of divine love. You use different guidelines to evaluate events whichsigni both suffering as well as joy for people. You only see the effects inan earthly respect but cannot even remotely imagine the spiritual effect ofthe necessi on one hand as well as the consequences on the other hand.You always base your judgment on human feelings, and this even makesthe love of God seem cruel to you. Yet you are not aware of the agonisingstate which will await the souls one day were I to protect them from allsuffering on earth and seemingly only bestow My love upon them. islove of Mine is so great that I want to spare My living creations the sufferingin the beyond and thus let them suffer before in a state in which they donot feel this suffering so much.

6

And yet, you do not recognise My love and crave to quarrel with Me.You live in a world where sensual pleasure provides you with a certainamount of satisfaction, yet in the world of the beyond you will, if you areenlightened, strive for the union with Me. Nevertheless, you first mustdetach yourselves from all matter in order to be able to unite with Me.But you are still very far from it, for you are still too captivated by matterand this to an extent that you still regard it as enticing. And thus I forciblydestroy what stands in your way to far greater happiness. I want to shortenyour path on earth which you still have to travel in the body, I want you tolearn to despise matter which is only an obstacle for you .... and you don'trecognise My love .... you are still too strong-willed and don't succumbto divine will, which truly only considers you such as is helpful for yoursoul .... Always and in every instance try to imagine that My greater thangreat love is the motive for what I send or allow to happen to you, and youwill learn to think differently. It truly gives Me no pleasure to watch Myliving creations suffer and thus I try to avert greater suffering from them.... You only ought to learn to look at world events around you from thisperspective, which should be seen more as evidence of My love for youthan an act of cruel . Resist the thoughts which make you doubt My love,because it is only My love which makes Me act in a way that you appear tobe the sufferers.

By yourselves you are too weak and don't desire enough strength whichwould help you overcome matter, and thus I take care of your difficul andremove the obstacle from the path of your higher development. I take allearthly possessions away from you precisely because this physical hardshipmakes you take refuge in Me and thus look for heartfelt contact with Me,and then My infinite love will take hold of you .... and My infinite love willhelp you prevail. However, until you have entrusted yourselves to Me theloss of your earthly possessions will be painful to you, and thus you arestill in an enslaved state, you are still too attached to matter, and you stilldon't recognise Me and My love sufficiently. And you are even inclined towanting to deny Me altogether, because you look at all happenings froman earthly point of view and fail to consider to what extent the spiritualnecessi exists so as not to let you perish. e danger of your spiritualdownfall requires My intervention in a way that you doubt My love ....

7

But I only have your spiritual well-being at heart, and every happeningis intended to bring you this spiritual happiness. erefore you shouldconfidently submit yourselves to My guidance and humbly and obedientlyaccept your fate from My hand and it will be a blessing for you, and oneday you will thank Me that I have thereby averted from you far greatersuffering in the beyond ....

Amen

BD 1464 received 09.06.1940

e spirit of heartlessness ....Divine intervention ....

e spirit of heartlessness rules the earth and its inhabitants, and theopponent has become victorious over countless beings whose lives aredevoid of all love. And countless people are thus driven into the chaos he hascaused and which became feasible precisely because of this heartlessness,which aroused inconceivable hatred and discord amongst people. Peoplehave lost all common sense for they are guided by the spirit of darkness,and this also keeps people's thinking enslaved or distorts it such thatthey no longer know what they are doing. Humani has indeed rarelysubordinated itself to the opponent's will so thoroughly as is the case now,and therefore the countermeasure will have to be exceptionally harsh too,if a higher spiritual state is to develop and people's present-day spiritualdelusion remedied again. And so this spiritual hardship requires divineintervention, and divine love and wisdom are aimed at using an event forthe sake of removing this hardship which, admittedly, makes humanidoubt divine love and wisdom but which is nevertheless the only optionle to save people from certain ruin.

People remain irredeemable; they cannot be persuaded in any other way toaccept the faith and they comply even less with the commandment of lovefor God and their neighbour .... And then again, the human being has toacquire the right way of thinking if he is to be spared the adversi of theapproaching time and his earthly life le to him. For the divine interventionwill befall people with elemental force, no one will be prepared for it whohas not united himself with God beforehand. And there will be a panic

8

which only God Himself can avert again if He is sincerely called upon todo so. Yet people will lack the faith in God. For even those who live withfaith and love will be stricken by anxious doubts since they, too, will veryclearly hear God's voice. eir spirit will certainly take refuge in God, yettheir soul will fearfully and with dismay await the events which are yet tocome. ey will barely be able to comfort their fellow human beings andwill have to struggle for faith themselves, yet God will support them so thatthey shall not waver in their faith. But those who don't recognise God willlook for rescue on earth and find no help.

ey have to change their thinking or become victims of the elementswhich are instructed by God, the Lord Himself, to serve Him. ere willbe indescribable confusion, since only the most extreme adversi canstill bring about a change in hardened sinners .... only the fear of losingtheir earthly life will make people so and submissive and willing to pray.However, without prayer no gi of help can come from above, for onlyprayer provides the certain guarantee that God Himself will take care ofHis earthly children and release them from all anguish. And the hour willseem awfully long to people who see everything they found desirable upto now fall prey to destruction. And yet, people cannot be spared thishour since all of God's love and kindness has been rejected and there isno other possible way out of the spiritual adversi . Again and again God'sforbearance has postponed this event, but finally His prophesy shall befulfilled .... For the time has come when extreme weakness of will andunbelief can only provoke this catastrophe. e time is near which the Lordhas announced through His Word when He lived on earth and referredpeople to this time of apostasy from God. For His Word is eternal truth andwill come to pass, down to the very last letter ....

Amen

Demonic activi ....Necessi of divine intervention ....

Just a little while longer and you will remember the Words I spoke onearth that the world will become chaotic in every respect. Soon you willrealise where heartlessness between people will lead to. If you still harboura spark of love within yourselves you will recognise the opponent's power,who incites everyone to conflict with each other. His activi is demonic,and as a result people also behave demonically in their unkindness. Andthus I will intervene and by means of apparent disorder nevertheless restoreorder again, so that humani 's real purpose is made clear to them. Whenpeople in their delusion destroy everything, such an act of destruction fromabove is absolutely necessary so that the injustice will be clearly revealedand humani will recognise it as such.

And there will be acute distress, and in this distress people's pleadingprayers will rise up to the Father in heaven, which is the purpose of Myintervention, so that people will look for Me, so that they will rememberMe again and take refuge in Me.

For there is no other way le to achieve this, only the harshest adversi willmake them take the path to Me, and only the harshest adversi will yetbe capable of changing humani . But My spirit will be with all those whoare loyal to Me. ey will recognise Me in everything that is happeningand faithfully await My help .... And they will speak on My behalf andtry to explain to their fellow human beings the error of their lives andrefer them to Me. And then, depending on their attitude towards Me, Iwill also take care of their hearts, and wherever a devout thought rises upto Me I will send comfort and help. I will bestow My love upon all thosewho recognise their wrong and thus call to Me appealingly. For I love Myliving creations and only want to save them from greatest danger .... from adanger which will far exceed the earthly suffering they will encounter. AndI will permeate all those with My spirit who are willing to be of service toMe, so that they will be able to comply with their task and not waver intheir faith when the time of affliction arrives ....

Amen

BD 2223 received 29.01.1942

Selfishness ....God's intervention is the last resort ....

In their inconceivable selfishness humani will destroy itself if God doesnot use an effective countermeasure in order to reduce this selfishness. ehuman being only thinks about himself and the fate of his fellow humanbeings generally leaves him unaffected. His thinking and behaviour isaccordingly only ever calculating to obtain the greatest possible advantagefor himself, which spiritually has a tremendously detrimental effect. Henceevery day spent striving for earthly advantages is lived in vain. And at thepresent time only a small number of people in the world keep their spiritualprogress in mind. But they do not indifferently ignore their fellow humanbeings'adversi . Instead, they try to alleviate it where possible and makesacrifices themselves, for they consider other people's hardship more thantheir own hardship. And it is for their sake that God still hesitates to applythe last resort, because His love would like to spare people unspeakablesuffering where it is possible to persuade them into actions of love withoutsuffering.

God's intervention, however, will result in great suffering, for precisely thissuffering is intended to change people's hearts, in view of their neighbour'smisery and adversi they are supposed to forget their own hardship,thus fighting their selfish love and only ever striving to alleviate theirfellow human beings'misery. Only then will their earthly life be spirituallysuccessful for them. Yet regrettably, especially now people have extremelydistinct earthly desires, they crave for the commodities of this earth. Everythought only relates to the question of how they can attain them. Asa result they take no notice of world events and even less of the signswhich announce the working of God. ey don't pay any attention tothe happenings which accompany the spiritual decline. ey don't seethe infringements which are already deemed acceptable, nor do they payattention to the wrong concepts of `right'and `justice', and therefore theydon't object to the spirit of the times either, the opposition to everythingrelating to religion .... rather, they consider everything to be right, whichcan clearly be traced to the opponent's influence.

11

And this is why God asserts His influence, that is, He so evidently counter-acts this spiritual shallowness that it can be seen by those who want to see.For He assumes all power .... He renders people powerless; He lets themfeel that they, by themselves, are incapable of preventing God's interven-tion, that they will have to endure it without being able to change it in theslightest. And then they will only be able to change their character if theyare willing to do so. ey will be provided with endless opportunities tokindle the spark of love within themselves, to feed it into a flame and thenbecome appropriately active with love .... If they don't make use of thislast possibili they cannot be helped on earth anymore; for those whoseselfishness is too extensive will not be able to recognise their real functioneven then, they will fear for their life and their possessions and, if possible,try to replace what they have lost. In that case God's intervention will havebeen in vain for them, then they will have to bear the consequences of theirunspiritual state, since this is what they want, for they cannot be forciblyreleased from their selfishness ....

Amen

BD 4020 received 09.05.1947

Doubts about God's revelations ....e elements of the nature ....

e passing on of My word to you is so urgent and how seldom it is beingbelieved. You're continuously letting yourselves be troubled by doubtsconcerning the truth of that which is passed on to you by My servants. Youreject what does not seem to be acceptable to you and which is actuallyinevitable according to the determination from eterni . You who are ofa revived spirit, I initiate into My plan of salvation to recognize the timeof the end and also to point out to your neighbors the end. I indicate toyou the signs and, since the beginning of this redemptional epoch, I havepredicted the effects of the spiritual low in order to give you the possibilito prepare yourselves so that the end may be a blessed one for you.

Yet my announcements are not being taken seriously, so, I keep on revealingMyself again and again. And actually not only by means of My wordgoing forth from and giving evidence of Me at that; but I also want to be

12

recognizable to those who don't give credence to My word, who won't letthemselves be taught by My servants on earth and who are also completelyopposed, disbelieving the predictions of an end to be near. ose I want toapproach in a different way, to those I want to reveal Myself as the Lord ofcreation against whom no human will is able to stand up. I want to confrontthem with the power human will cannot break or defeat. I want to talk tothem in a language that is loud and clear; I want to speak with a voice ofthunder and the elements of nature will obey Me and testi for Me.

And this is the last reminder in order to then let the events take their courseup to the end. And this last remark of My might and power is an act of gracefor all of mankind, yet it will certainly be effective to just a small number.For whoever does not accept Me will certainly see nothing unusual in theenormous natural happening but simply [assumes]a free play of nature,even when realizing he cannot have any command over this play. And yet,I do not deviate from My plan of eterni and keep announcing it over andover, of My appearance by means of a catastrophe of nature of an extent theworld has never experienced yet. Why am I doing it?

Well, the time is pressing towards the end; people are going through theirlives lukewarmly and lazily. ey don't comprehend the seriousness of timeand that's why they are to be disturbed. I Myself will approach them, for inthe great need concerning the body when facing death, the thought of theCreator is bound to surface and some few will find and walk the path to Me.And for the sake of these few, it will come true what is proclaimed in wordand scripture. Surely a countless number of people will lose their life andenter the Kingdom of the beyond in an incomplete condition. Yet to themI want to be a lenient judge and take into account their last sacrifice theyoffer Me by their early death by offering them the greatest possibili ofmaturing in the spiritual kingdom and granting support to them in everyway. Yet I will irrevocably speak by means of nature and all of you willbe witnesses and be able to convince yourselves of the truth of My wordwhich comes pure and plain from up high; because it is My will for you notto go unprepared through something that is so colossal it might shake thethinking of all who still believe a bit on a Creator and Preserver of heavenand earth.

But whoever is united with Me ought not doubt My word for I express

13

Myself by means of My servants on earth and expect My word to be passedon and accepted as plain truth; and every doubt be banned from the heartof My people because it is I Myself who expresses Himself and will nevertolerate My word, interspersed by errors, be brought to people of good willwho want to serve Me and therefore are hired as workers by Me into Myvineyard for the last time prior to the end.

Signs of the world catastrophe ....

Every world catastrophe is preceded by signs so that humani can recog-nise its approach, for God at all times has proclaimed them through HisWord, and by paying attention to these signs you will know that now thetime has come; and thus you also know that you have to prepare yourselvesso that you will not be heading towards total destruction. Whatever Goddoes, and thus also allows to come upon earth, is determined by humani 'swill, that is, human will does not directly draw the catastrophe near butits wrongness is the reason for it. Human will is misused on such a scalethat a world catastrophe has to be the inevitable consequence of it, for thismisguided will can only be directed onto the right track by something com-pletely unexpected, effectively by something unnatural. Hence, the morethe human will moves into the wrong direction the more urgent becomesthe divine intervention, for precious earthly time is passing by withoutproviding the being with the necessary higher development. Misused will,however, can never support higher development but only prevent it.

e events of the time, the ever increasing unbelief, the anti-Christianefforts and the messengers of His Word which are spiritually awakenedby God ought to remind you that the time has come which the Lordmentioned on earth. And thus you shall be diligent and consider yoursoul's salvation. And regardless of how implausible it seems to you thata disaster is intended to occur on earth, just bear in mind that nothingis impossible for God, that everything can happen if it is God's will. Andthe fact that it is God's will is based on people's own behaviour, on theirwrong attitude towards Him. If earthly life is given to people for a specific

14

purpose but they fail to live in accordance with this purpose then they willlet a divine gi of grace go by unused, and God will warn them just oncemore with stern Words which no one can ignore. Human will alone is thereason for a work of destruction of inconceivable proportions and whenthe Lord proclaimed this He foresaw people's wrong will. Yet it is His willto win back misguided humani and therefore He applies the last resort,which certainly seems to be an act of infinite cruel , nevertheless, it isonly motivated by divine love and mercy, for countless people will attainrealisation, and they will be saved for all eterni ....

Termination of the struggle of the nationsdue to divine intervening

BD 3143 received 01.06.1944

God's intervention ....e end of the struggle ....

e more the world becomes entangled in error the more it distances itselffrom God and the more heartless are the actions and thoughts of peoplewho are worldly minded. And the increased unkindness also propels peopleinto actions which surpass all previous happenings, and so people induceGod's intervention themselves. People no longer realise that what they aredoing is wrong. Global affairs will be steered into a direction for which noearthly solution can be found anymore, people's thinking is wrong and farremoved from the truth, goodness will be persecuted and evil respected,and thus divine order will be revoked which is bound to result in a completedecline. And so the day which puts an end to the chaos comes ever closer,for the situation is so disastrous for humani that God has set an endto it. And this end is approaching, the end of people raging against eachother, the end of the war between nations which could never find God'sapproval because it is a battle for power which is not based on noblemotives. People's hatred and heartlessness have given rise to it, yet theylearn nothing in this battle, they have become more heartless than ever and

15

their hate has deepened and manages to achieve such disgraceful deeds thatthey cannot be surpassed. And God will put a stop to this activi in a waythat He shall thereby be recognised .... He will send a dreadful tribulationupon humankind which cannot be averted by their own will. He will territhem and let them feel their own impotence because the elements of naturewill be unleashed, leaving people defenceless and at their mercy.

And this day will not be long in coming. It will arrive so suddenly andunexpectedly that it will cause sheer horror, it will only take hours and yetbe of such drastic significance that everything will have changed a erwardsand people will only gradually become aware of the disaster when theyhave realised the full extent of the divine intervention. For God wantsto reveal Himself with His intervention, He wants to show them thatHe Himself will bring about the end because people cannot find an end,because they would rather tear each other apart than give in and bring theindescribable adversi to a close. And this is why the end will be differentfrom how people imagine it, God will demonstrate His power and removethe weapons from the hands of the earthly rulers, He will decide, and theoutcome of the war between the nations will disappoint those people whowanted to achieve with violence what they were not entitled to and whotherefore shall recognise their helplessness. For it is God Who ultimatelydetermines world events, even if human will thinks that it directs them.And God's wisdom also recognises the most effective means for people anduses it in order to control the chaos which is the result of heartlessness andtherefore has to lead to the downfall if God Himself will not put an end toit.

And the period of war will be followed by a new time of conflict which,however, will not erupt for the sake of worldly power but for spiritualsupremacy, because the end is near and this spiritual battle will still haveto be fought, the battle which concerns the faith in Jesus Christ, the divineRedeemer and His teaching ....

e powerful voice of God ....e end of the battle ....

e voice of God will sound loudly and insistently and the fate of thenations will be decided upon for God Himself will, by means of the powersof nature, pronounce the decision. And nobody will be able to oppose Hisjudgement for it will be just and will strike those people who have causedgreat misery and who don't want to acknowledge their wrong. It will be anexceedingly sad event and countless people will loose their lives, and theevent is also unstoppable because people cannot be shaken by anything thathuman will manages to accomplish and will therefore have to be disturbedby an event which cannot be turned away or terminated by human will,and it will for this reason cause great horror because everyone will visualizedeath facing them and will have to get ready for the transitory end. Andthis event is moving closer and closer, day by day passes by without thechanging of mankind, and the forbearance of God keeps on waiting inorder to still grant an opportuni to mankind to change until His voicewill sound.

But now the world event, too, is turning towards its end because the naturalphenomenon is preparing itself, because the interior of the earth is turninginto a turmoil and is just waiting for the moment where God grants thenatural powers freedom to unleash. For people find no end to it; that'swhy God intervenes and puts a stop to it. Bad happenings are terminatedbut even worse ones will be their consequences, for people are in terribledistress and are at a great loss in facing the natural powers. ey can't eitherflee nor halt or reduce their [the power's] raging, they are at their mercyand have but one Savior whom they can entrust themselves in their misery,Whom they can call upon for help and who has the power to help them.

Yet, only a few accept Him, few feel they are guil , humbly awaiting Hisjudgement in recognition of their sinfulness. And God will certainly looka er those few in the hours of destruction which divine will is going tocall for because there's no other way for the spiritual need to be eliminatedand the earthly misery, caused by human will, is continuously increased.And because people are finding no end to it, God establishes the end

17

of a battle involving the whole earth. And there will be a cry of horrorrebounding from across the earth leaving people petrified, for the extentof the catastrophe leaves everybody prick up their ears and trembling fora [possible] repetition. And this is the intention of God for the wholehumani to take part of it, to listen to His judgement, to recognize theguil ones and [also] God's righteousness. Because every fighting parstill believes to be in the right; power alone and not the right is still beingvalued and God's blessing cannot remain on actions that are detestable,because they violate against the divine commandment of love ....

And God will punish people with the same they do ....only, His work ofdestruction is much more colossal so that He may by that be recognizedby them. For the spiritual, too, still constrained, is indignant when tornaway from the divine order and feels this condition painfully ; even thoughit became free by human will it cannot enjoy its freedom for it is not thefreedom of completeness, but it's because the opportuni of an activi istaken away from the spiritual, about which it is indignant. And it will getactive wherever there is an opportuni given to it. But, particularly, it willcombine with the still bound spiritual and try to entice it, to likewise blastits shell, at which action it is supportive. By that, it tries to force man toagain act constructively for the purpose of providing new possibilities toenter new creations, as a continuation for its development.

And God does not hinder the spiritual having become free by human will,as He also gives His consent when matter in the interior of the earth moves,when the spiritual strives for the light and attempts to blast its shell. For ashort time, God withdraws His will and He lets the will of the spiritual haveits way which, however since it is still completely immature, means a workof destruction of a monstrous extent. And thus the human will is opposedby another will which outdoes the first one, seemingly lacking every divinelove and wisdom and which finds the full consent of God.

Yet mankind does not bow down before God, it does not put an end to theirbattle of annihilation, it is possessed by demons, and lets themselves bedriven by them. It is more and more enslaved to the evil power and provesthis by its works and actions. And in order to put a stop to this declineGod's will and omnipotence steps into obvious action. He shakes the earthand mankind with it so that it may come to its senses and change. For it is

18

the last time that there can still be used for the souls. And therefore Godlets His voice sound powerfully and massively, and He calls upon people:Put a stop to your raging, which means dragging your souls into ruin;change before it is too late and remember Him Who rules over heaven andearth Who is your Creator and Sustainer and Whose love you treat withdisrespect. You on your earth, take heed for it is about to happen ....

e termination of the fight ....Spatial separation ....

Whatever there is useful to you, that you will get to hear if you're lettingyourselves be taught by Me, Myself, and also pay attention to My voicewhich is so ly perceptible within you. You've got an exceedingly incorrectview of the continuous course of the world-happenings if you assume anyone of the fighting powers to emerge as a winner from the struggle, forMy will has determined differently because not the physical well-being butthe well-being of the souls is to be promoted which necessitates a completechange of one's life but which can only take place when all the earthly plansare invalid and mankind faces an extraordinary event that shakes theirthinking.

A normal end of the struggle of the nations would not result in a changeof the ordinary life. Furthermore, none of the fighting powers are innocentand thus none of the powers is legitimately entitled to the victory. Andthat's why I thwart man's plans, no matter what outcome. I render all theirexpectations void and I provide a solution nobody is expecting and is alsonot welcome to anybody for I bring the fight to a close in a way so it cannotbe continued, even though man would be willing to do so. For I physicallyseparate the fighting parties from each other, I let natural obstacles comeinto being that cannot be overcome so easily. And I thus take any possibiliaway from man to keep fighting against each other. And thus the struggleof the nations against each other comes to an abrupt halt. It won't be adecision, it won't be a defeating of a power, but mankind will see that their

19

power is at a dead end and the divine power needs to be accepted, which isrecognizable most distinctly at this outcome.

I will bring about the end and certainly, by that, punish the guil onesseverely, for in their assumption of sure victory they see themselves de-ceived, they see themselves weakened and without success and are con-fronted by a great misery and great pover . And this end I have announceda long time ago already so that you, who are still doubting, have the truthof My word proven by that. When the culmination of atroci on the partof humani has been reached, I put an end to it so that the world realizesby that there is a God in heaven who punishes sin, which surfaces so obvi-ously; that it realizes it is not humans who determine the outcome, but it isI, Myself, and in a different way at that, than people expect it.

And the hour is not far away, and that's why I make Myself known to thosewho believe in My intervention and know about My intention, whom Iappoint to point it out to people and whom I send as prophets amongstmankind. For it is to be warned beforehand because I will never let sucha happening come upon mankind without informing them so that theyseriously consider the well-being of their souls and prepare themselves.For nobody knows as to who will be affected by it. My intervention will callfor many victims everywhere where it will take place.

BD 1418 received 14.05.1940

Divine intervention ....Prediction ....

It is a futile battle which the people of the world are waging against eachother, for it will not result in a satisfactory outcome. e Lord of heavenand of earth has decided that this shall be concluded in a different way tothat which the world is hoping for. But this end will be indescribable. ebattle noise will be drowned out by God's voice resounding from above.... It will cause tremendous confusion amongst people since no human

20

command will be able to stop it, and people will be powerless and willhave to submit to everything that is sent to them by the Lord. And thenit will be le up to each individual person to recognise the hand of Godand submit to it or revolt against his personal fate. For it is intended thatpeople's thoughts shall be forcibly directed towards God, and blessed is hewho finds this path and recognises God as the Originator of all happeningsand commends himself to Him and His mercy.

Yet there will only be a few, for people are spiritually deluded, their modernexplanations have made them lose faith in a Being Which determineseverything on earth, and their lo y attitude makes it difficult for them tofind the way back to God, and this spiritual arrogance will be their downfall.Only someone who feels small and powerless and calls upon God for helpwill keep his life, even if he will physically lose it .... Yet anyone who believesthey do not need God's help will forfeit his mortal and spiritual life .... Andeven if God allows him to keep his earthly life, it will only be an act ofgreatest mercy so that he shall still gain realisation on earth a er all .... Forthe Lord knows the hearts of people, He looks into the furthest corners, Herecognises every stirring and will not let anything perish that can still besaved. And anyone who calls upon the Lord for help within the midst ofterror will feel a wonderful calm enter his heart, he will suddenly realise theworthlessness of earthly life if it is not accompanied by profound faith, andthis realisation will let him willingly surrender what previously appeareddesirable to him.

He will readily submit himself to the Lord and accept what he receivesfrom His hand .... life or death .... However, he will only surrender hisbody in order to awaken to life in the beyond. And thus his departurefrom the world will not be his ruin but his resurrection into a better life.Divine will puts everyone in their place, He takes a person from the worldwhen the time for his end has come, and He returns to the world thosewhose earthly life is not over yet .... For nothing happens arbitrarily buteverything is determined by God's wisdom and love. Yet if a person cannotrecognise God's hand even then, his soul will suffer serious hardship, forit will have no other means of salvation .... It has infinitely extended itsdistance from God during its earthly existence and strives towards the stateof banishment again; hence its life on earth is utterly pointless, since it does

21

not recognise God. And for the sake of such souls God will let His powerfulvoice be heard .... But if this call also dies away unheard, the fate of thesesouls will only be eternal damnation ....

e intervention of God ....

e incomprehensible is going to happen. God Himself will speak topeople in a manner that will cause fear and horror. Soon the time willbe present, for mankind cannot expect consideration anymore since it iscompletely devoid of any love. It will itself cause to start the ball rolling,it draws itself the intervention near, it continuously violates against thecommandments of God, against the commandment of love for God andthe love for the neighbor. And without consideration, it carries out actionsthat are satanic and are bound to lead to one's ruin unless God intervenesand, by doing so, yet saves souls who find their way to Him in distress.And this is the sign of the time God has proclaimed long ago: a hot, bitterfight will precede it whose end God determines because He wants to makeHimself and His power recognizable. He, Himself, terminates the fight, yetdifferently than people expect. By means of His intervention, that is also ofdecisive importance for the whole world, He leads the world happeningsinto other tracks. And people will have to see they are powerless and ahigher Power conducts the world happenings. And they have to submit tothis One.

e misery, caused by human will that was unbearable for many already,will be severe; but now they will have to struggle with measures of objec-tionable nature that God Himself sends their way, and they cannot revoltagainst it because they cannot call on somebody to give account for it. Butthe behavior of man prior to that cannot be called human anymore andthus God shows His power to them. Where man before wanted to prooveits power and proceed with all atroci against their neighbors, there Godshows Himself in His action; and towards Him all are weak and powerlessand their shameful raging falls back unto them who, without mercy, wantto bring nothing but destruction simply because they feel powerful. It is

22

a chaos that cannot be depicted any worse when people let their feelingsof hate and vengeance show, and this will of destruction means a disin-tegrating of that which the Lord God has created before it has reached itsdestination. A steady destructive urge is pical to mankind of the presenttime and this is a sign they are enslaved to the power that tries to destroyeverything in order to prevent the spiritual within to draw closer to God.

Man is not aware of the terrible consequences of a forceful destroying ofcreated things, be it human, animal or solid matter, as to how the immaturespiritual within rages and causes havoc and what turmoil this signifies inthe spiritual world. e souls of humans are plagued and are detrimentallyaffected and even the believers feel the influence and are disheartened anddiscouraged. And a migh will has to put a stop to it for the spiritual sakethat endeavors to get near God and now is about to be pushed away bythe opponent of God by means of his compliant servants on earth. Andthat's why, immediately a er the implementation of a plan that will exceedeverything in regard to dreadfulness thought up by man so far, God willlet His voice sound. ere's only a little time le , first a horrible event hasto take place so that the whole world pays attention and the better hearsthe voice of God. ere are many victims as yet who'll have to buy it, i.e.:to give their lives for a dishonest cause so that people who are in need ofa bright insight pay heed, for they all contribute to the chaos and thus arealso part of the blame, unless they recognize their wrong and turn awayfrom it.

e divine Voice is continuously reminding and warning, It keeps pointingeveryone to the wrong but It also requires that attention be paid to It orelse it will sound loud and ringing and be a terror to all and pronounce ajudgment according to right and justness. For the blame is universal andonly those who detest the behavior of mankind and want to belong to Godare to be acquitted, for they recognize the wrong and fear the wrath of Godto strike the evil-doers. And the hour will come suddenly and unexpectedly,for it is the last great favor prior to the end for the purpose of convertinganyone not walking along carelessly but recognizing God in the naturalhappening, which is inevitable according to the will of God.

You humans will experience something previously unknown to you as theeffect of this star upon your earth is such that you will become alarmedbecause you fear that the earth could fall victim to this unknown starwhich will cause perceptible disturbances on earth which are, however,inexplicable to you. Some people on earth won't allow themselves to beshocked by anything that happens to them .... but who will now lose theircomposure because they can see themselves as well as the whole earth atthe mercy of natural forces which they fear because they are unable to dethem.

And for the sake of these people `are the powers of heaven moving ....'Iparticularly want to address these people in order to achieve that they willentrust themselves to a God and Creator as soon as they realise that theyare completely helpless .... What human will initiates .... no matter howdreadful its effect .... does not upset such people, yet they will becomesmall and weak when they see themselves at the mercy of natural forces.And then it is possible that they will take refuge to Him, Who is Lordof all creation .... then it is possible that in their greatest need they willfind Me .... is natural spectacle will cause enormous turmoil amongstpeople and the fear will not be unjustified either because, regardless of thestrange phenomena accompanying the star, it will steadily move closer toearth and a collision will appear inevitable according to the calculationsof those who discovered and followed its course. But I predicted long agothat `I will send you an enemy from the sky ....', that a natural disaster ofimmense proportions lies ahead of you which will precede the final end ....i.e. the complete transformation of the earth's surface .... and which will

24

result in countless victims .... Time a er time I draw your attention to it,and My Word is truth and will come to pass .... Yet you are informed ofit beforehand so that you humans may become aware of My will and Mypower .... because you should know that nothing can take place withoutMy will and that nothing happens without meaning and purpose .... thatMy thoughts are with those who are entirely without faith but whom Inevertheless don't want to lose to My adversary ....

You receive knowledge of this in advancebecause it can help you find faith if you are of good will ....

An enormous quake will shake the earth; spiritually as well as physicallythe earth will face a tremor humans have never experienced as yet, sincethe beginning of this epoch. But this is prophesied for it is the initiation tothe end that will follow not long a er that. ere is no long period le andyour attention to this is pressing more and more because you are to makeuse of everyday yet to help maturing your soul, for the time is short and youare approaching the very end with giant steps. And there will follow a longnight for all who have not made use of the day to work for the well-beingof the soul. For there will be just a few to survive this last end and to beallowed to live on the new earth, a few only will stand firm in the last battleon this earth.

Again and again, the signs of the end are being presented to you humansand the last colossal sign is the great quake. e way it will come aboutyou were told already: A star leaves its orbit and heads for the earth with

25

gigantic speed. e reason why you don't know anything about it as yet isdue to the great distance this star will have to cover yet until it enters thefocus range of those who will notice it. But at that point the excitementwill be big because everybody recognizes the danger the star “earth”nowis in but nobody can do anything about it to remove the danger. And,since you're aware of it, this last short time you ought to utilize especiallywell, for none of you knows as to whether or not he will survive the event.None of you knows which part of the earth will be particularly befallen andnobody should count on being spared, for it is the last big reminding-callof God which He still lets sound prior to the end in order to find faith forjust this end and a turn around of the few who are not quite enslaved to theadversary altogether as yet.

Do not think lightly about these prophesies, do not let yourselves bedisconcerted by the apparent work of building up you can observe fromthe side of the world, but be aware that the shadows of annihilation arealready showing up. ere's not much time le to pass by until you willreceive word of that disaster approaching you in the form of a star to behurled out of its orbit because it is God's will that the earth be stricken bya quake that is meant to, and can possibly save those people who's will isgood. ere truly won't be a lack of signs for the close end but this one signhas a tremendous effect and many people will lose their life in the courseof it. And no one will be able to play deaf, for it is too enormous than that itcouldn't possibly touch everybody. Only, the success is different, for peoplewill partly revive their weak faith and again return to God, but also partlylose their weak faith and completely turn to the opponent which will beexpressed in chasing a er material possessions, mostly in an illegitimatemanner. And there will be a great misery amongst people. And that's whenthe true faith will prove itself, which means help for every person whofaithfully submits to God. For He will help all those who want to be His,who in their greatest affliction remember Him Who alone is able to help.And the time will begin where there will have to be performed propervineyard work for the sake of helping all those who are still weak in thespirit and are to experience a strengthening of their faith. For that's whenthe time of the last struggle of faith will follow that will still demand a lastdecision of the believers; yet, whoever will be steadfast until the end shall

Catastrophe ....Prediction ....

Undivided attention is necessary in order to be able to receive the followingproclamation: Divine Wisdom has intended an event the effects of whichwill be dreadful. A disaster shall develop in the very near future which canneither be prevented nor diminished by way of earthly efforts. Countlessspiritual beings will move into action and, on behalf of divine instruction,turn the interior of the earth into upheaval, the earth will split open andmasses of water will burst through; an act of destruction of catastrophicproportions will take place which will bring indescribable misery upon thepeople who will be affected by it. And this will happen very soon .... Foryou humans will only deem yourselves powerful and safe from all dangerfor a little time longer; you only observe world events around yourselvesand feel secure and out of danger .... yet you forget that there is a Power incharge of everything in, on and above the earth.

And since you forget the One Who reigns in accordance with His will, Heshall speak to you through the forces of nature and you will have to listento Him, for you will be unable to escape His voice. You pay no attention toinstructions from above, suffering on earth doesn't change your thinking,yet you will be unable to drown out the divine voice since it is strongerthan all the noise in the world. And therefore it is proclaimed to you inadvance, so that you will recognise the Lord when His voice resounds ....Admittedly, the world does not want to hear anything about it, it will tryto control the great adversi with purely earthly means and constantlynegate divine activi . And many will agree with this opinion and thusonly see the misery but do not recognise the divine will which, for thesake of humani 's improvement, will expose whole stretches of land todestruction. And this time it will announce itself by the fact that a countrywill be affected by an unmerited pestilence which will subsequently getthis country into very serious difficulties, and since no earthly help will

27

seem possible anymore God Himself will step into action and instruct theelements of nature to intervene in earthly measures.

And whoever deemed himself great before will become small, for he willneed all his resources in order to rebuild what was destroyed. People will beneeded for the reconstruction of his own country which, having previouslyflourished, will be desolate and bare and require many workers. And thisis the time when people will reflect on different questions than before. Foranyone who survives this time will truly enjoy God's favour .... He hastestified to being united with the Lord .... in greatest distress he had sent histhoughts to the Father in heaven, and the Father answered the prayer of ahuman being who had recognised and found Him in most severe adversi .A er all, He only sends severe suffering upon humani so that it shall findits faith in God again ....

e raging elements of nature ....

e magnitude of the Almigh will become apparent at a time when theelements of nature rage and cause indescribable damage. en the hourwill have come when people's spiritual decline becomes visible for nothingwill remind them of God, nothing will move them to pray, for they will havelost their belief in a God and thus will not call upon Him in their need.Hence humani cannot stay on earth any longer, for it fails to considerits actual purpose of earthly life and only contributes towards destroyingthe faith of the few people who are not yet entirely estranged from God,causing them to abandon God as well. God's love, however, will preventthe latter from being harmed and will therefore forcibly terminate the livesof those who threaten to endanger the souls.

And there will be great distress when the raging of the elements begins.It will be like a storm which threatens to destroy everything; people willbe unable to defend themselves against it for they are like fragile stalkswhich get bent by the gales .... ey will want to flee yet be unable to escape

28

the elements, without God's help their resistance will be too feeble, yet aheartfelt call to God will restrain the power of the elements, and anyonewho entrusts himself to God in his peril will be saved. But God will bevery close to you during this disaster, He will affect everyone's thoughtsand for the last time offer you His hand so that you may take hold of itand let yourselves be saved .... Yet He cannot force your will, you mustvoluntarily acknowledge Him and desire His help. ere is no other way tolead humani out of spiritual darkness into the light other than throughan event caused by natural forces which create such turmoil in people thatno one can escape it. Confronted by these natural elements they will haveto recognise their helplessness; they will have to lose all other help so thatthey realise the end of their physical life, only then will there be a slightprospect that they will remember the Lord Who is entitled to all power andWho controls heaven and earth.

God's living creations separated themselves from Him and have remainedseparate from God for an infinitely long time, yet a moment of extremecrisis and danger can bridge this separation. e soul can return to God,and as a result will even thank God for the indescribable suffering whichbrought it to its senses. Yet this moment when the soul directs its willtowards God cannot be forcibly induced by God in spite of greatest love.God's love has tried everything to bring salvation to the souls and pointthem to the path of ascent. Yet people's will was strong and God cannotbreak this will but only affect the human being such that he changes hiswill himself and turns it towards God. is natural event is thus the finalattempt to influence the human will in the most favourable way. But thisnatural event will also be so powerful that His Own will need great strengthin order to remain firm in faith; and everyone who pleadingly sends histhoughts up to God will also be given this strength, for the Father knowsthe adversi of His children and will lovingly support them if they are indanger of wavering. For His kingdom on earth shall remain, and extensivework will have to be carried out in order to proclaim the divine kingdom tothose who had found God and desire His Word. And this is the time theLord is thinking of by making His Word accessible to people already .... theseed shall fall unto good ground and yield rich fruit on the field which the

glorious that people are to some extent light-hearted and the change willcome so suddenly that no one can take earthly precautions, which will beentirely pointless anyway for no earthly power can defend against theseelements. Only the devout person will feel the divine omnipotence now ....and entrusts himself to his Creator .... And although his heart will trembleand know fear when he sees the raging of the elements he will neverthelesswait patiently until help arrives, for he will continue to send his thoughtsup to Him above.

Anyone who has grasped the meaning and purpose of life knows that nowthe time of decision has come for every individual person. And he willtry to administer spiritual help wherever possible, he will comfort thosewho are miserable and refer them to God, he will help by kindling a smalllight in utter darkness .... For God will give them the opportuni to workfor Him .... ose who have recognised Him and offer themselves to be ofservice to Him will be assigned a rich field of activi , and the seed will fallon good ground, for God spares those who look up to Him or find Him ingreatest adversi ....

Prediction of a natural disaster ....Dead sections ....

An enormous event will precede the last end that is bound to make peoplewho survive it think. It will be an omen of the end, a devastation on a smallscale in comparison to the last work of annihilation of this earth, yet of suchan extent never experienced by mankind from the beginning of this earth.It is a natural happening that will throw all people who are affected by itor hear of it into a turmoil, for the consequences of the incidents are tooenormous as to go unnoticed. ere will be created so-called dead-earthsections that show no life at all because the transpiration of the earth onthose areas choke out every life. ere will be a visible influence of naturalforces noticed so that this phenomenon will not be traceable back to humaninfluence because I want to reveal Myself by means of the occurrence in

31

order to substantiate the near end, which is continuously announced byseers and prophets on My behalf.

Renewed sorrow is imminent to people and they cannot be spared of thissorrow as long as they still pay their tribute to the world and pay theirrespect to Me just on-the-way-by. ey need to search for Me in order forMe to be found and this can only be accomplished by means of such anevent that cannot be brought in context with work of man. ey'll haveto feel a higher power behind it and to entrust themselves in their earthlydistress to this power. But that's why they need to be subject to this powerfor the sake of taking resort to it on their own. Earthly speaking, they haveto be without help in order to visibly feel the help from above. at's whya violent storm will emerge that uproots and jolts up everything. e earthwill split open and from above and below people will be at the mercy of theelements against which they won't be able to battle because their strengthwon't be sufficient. An unbearable heat will already render people unableand dull before and apathetically they watch the first phenomena in natureuntil they then recognize their grim situation and now nearly brutally fightfor their life, which they fear to loose.

And all those who are of good will I will stand by in their need and I willgive them knowledge so they will see My ruling and working in all thehappenings and from this insight also teach their neighbors and encouragethem to turn to Me and to preach to them about My love, wisdom andomnipotence so that they may call upon Me when in danger. And I will betheir guide and throughout all of the distress all those who believe in Meand are willing to serve Me in the last time prior to the end shall be saved.

For shortly a er these happenings the destruction of the old earth [surface]will follow, as it is written. Yet, people are not to experience this destructionunprepared and that's why I send ahead a shadow as a last indication, to bebelieved, so that people will not enter their eternal ruin but are able to besaved, if making use of their will in the appropriate manner.

A natural event ....Victims of good and bad people ....

At the hour of severest distress many people will call upon God but notevery call will come from the heart because the danger they are in takesaway all their abili to think and thus they will merely address God withtheir lips and their prayer will go unheard. Only those who are capable tosend their thoughts to Him, even though just for moments, God will standby them either to save them from the trouble of their bodies or else, priorto the end, to still offer mercy to their soul. It is not always death to beconsidered the greatest evil, for if a person facing death still has found one'sway to God it thus has been an effective means towards one's salvation,which is worth more than the preservation of the physical life in spiritualdarkness. And that's why countless people will loose their life within ashort time, partly as a warning to the fellow man, partly for the sake of theirown spiritual need.

But just ones, too, whose course of life is finished according to God's will,are called from this earth to their Maker. For wherever God Himself isrecognizable at the revolting of the forces of nature that are subject to God'swill, there His will is also decisive as to who becomes a victim of thesehappenings. Mature and immature ones will have to leave this earth, yet,if prior to one's death a soul has gotten to know God, the one's spiritualdevelopment in the beyond is guaranteed and the finished earthly life isnothing but a blessing for the one. And the earthly distress will be severeand will offer the possibili to everybody yet to find one's way back to God;for the natural event will announce itself beforehand. Unusual signs willindicate an unusual event so that every person can still reflect on oneself,and one will also by means of one's neighbors be directed to the highestpower, the director of heaven and earth, to the point where the one has timeand the opportuni to combine with Him by means of intimate prayer.

But by now the remoteness of mankind from God shows, for just a fewaccept Him, just a few turn to Him for protection and help in their fear andaffliction. Most of them turn Him away, intentionally and unintentionally,

33

they watch the spectacle of nature, continuously hoping for a soon termina-tion and the hour of distress therefore hits them the more severely becausethey feel completely le abandoned, since they lack any faith altogether.Yet of these distant-from-God people many remain alive to whom God stillgives the opportuni to see the light a erwards. Good and bad peoplewill loose their life and good and bad people will keep their life, for thiscatastrophe of nature is not yet a separation of the spirits but only a lastreminder prior to the final judgment, the former of which all people oughtto draw for their mental use. Yet, it is up to them as to how they want toutilize this last reminder. ey can get to see the light prior to or a er thedisastrous night, but they can also stick to their old way of thinking and thegreat happening might as well be without impression upon their souls.

And, a erwards, too, there will be people at work hostile to God; out todestroy any faith in God and they will put emphasis to this natural eventas to be their strongest proof of His non-existence; they will emerge asgreatest deniers of God from a happening meant to lead them back tofaith. And that's why it's obvious the struggle will flare up between thosewho were made strong and faithful by the happenings and those who havesurvived it in spite of their unbelief. And a er mankind has been grantedyet a short time of grace a erwards until the last judgment, thus everythingwill be approaching the end ....

e last catastrophe ....

God's voice will get through and get people who thoughtlessly sleep to wakeup, even though they are in grave danger. To those who let themselves beawakened and recognize His voice, a light will be shining, leading them outfrom the dark night. However, whoever does not pay attention to His voice,that one's fate has been decided upon for eternal times. But the one whohas created all of you does not leave you without warning when difficultieshit the earth, which are planned in the salvation plan of God from eterni .Again and again He warns and reminds people in speaking to them by themost various ways; and the ones who pay attention to His faint voice when

34

they perceive it, won't be frightened by the coming events when He willspeak with the voice of thunder to all who, until now, kept their ears shutfrom His words of love and mercy.

And He will, by means of the forces of nature, speak to them and none ofthem will be able to ignore this voice; for people are endangered and asthey fear for their life the possibili of turning their thoughts to Him Whois migh exists, Whom they accept as God and Creator. And in callingupon Him they are also saved for time and eterni . But whoever then willstill be stubborn, will not be spared the terrible lot of the re-capture intomatter. And there won't be much time to pass on any more until all of youpeople will be startled by an announcement of an inestimable catastropheand you will be petrified of the disaster that has affected countless people.But it is prophesied to you from the beginning of this earth-period; becauseit is included in the salvation plan of God from eterni .

But people never ever think of a natural happening of such extent to bepossible at all; and to those who survive it it will be given a very thoroughproof of a higher power at work, that all the earthly will pass away andman is at the mercy of that power when not joined to It on one's own,and to be dedicated to the God and Father, asking Him for mercy. For Heonly wants to reveal Himself to mankind in distinctly speaking to it, sothey'll have to hear His voice. And in repeatedly pointing this out He onlywants to achieve their joining to Him beforehand in order to then be ableto withstand and also to experience His protection when the day of horrorhas arrived.

Yet His announcements by seers and prophets are not believed; and eventhough man is from time to time stricken by divine interventions on asmall scale, it's just merely the affected ones who are touched, but theothers remain indifferent just as soon as the first horror has passed. Andthere's just little spiritual gain to be noticed. Yet, to all those who let GodHimself speak to themselves, who believed His words and who thereforebelong to His people, messages shall again and again be passed on of theoccurrence of that immense natural happening to be not far away. ey areto draw strength from His word because they will need just that in orderto remain steadfast and to pass on comfort and enlightenment to theirneighbors who are in deepest physical and spiritual need. And every prayer

35

that reaches Him He will listen to and will grant strength and help to allwho call upon God, their Creator, in deepest distress. And every prayer thatreaches His ear He will listen to and grant strength and help to all thosewho call upon their God and Creator. And even though they'll have to givetheir life, they have found their ties to God and now don't have to dreadanymore the lot of those who are entirely devoid of any faith and thereforestill belong to the one who wants to bring ruin upon them.

ere will yet an opportuni be given to all people to get to know theirGod and Creator and every individual person decides upon one's own lot.And the most horrible happenings for man can be the way to Him, theMight of Whom he/she once emerged from. And hence it was a blessingfor the one, even though countless people are snatched away. ey mayenter into the other kingdom with a glimpse of light in the heart when they,yet at last, did get to know and accept their God and Creator, when theycall upon Him in deepest distress who then also reveals Himself to them.

Do believe it you people, you are approaching this event that will unex-pectedly descend upon you and is such a distinct voice from above thateverybody who is of good will ought to recognize it. And everyone willhear it, for it is powerful and is yet a last reminder, for shortly a er that theend comes like proclaimed.

The consequences of the natural disaster

BD 2246 received 28.02.1942

Catastrophe ....

e approaching bad weather catastrophe is of crucial importance for allpeople insofar as that it will also change world events, and that people willthen be facing other responsibilities and happenings whose effects are noless difficult and distressing. e survivors will have to go through worryingtimes at first, for they won't know if and when this natural disaster willrepeat itself. Also, many people won't know the whereabouts of their lovedones, many will stay behind all alone and forsaken, and sorrow and grief

36

will be everywhere, there will hardly be a house without unhappy people,and in the country where God's voice has spoken there will be no townwithout ruins. And then love will have to prove itself, and one will haveto help bear the suffering of the other if people want to live a life which isat least endurable and not despair altogether. e suffering on earth hastaken on different shapes but people cannot be entirely alleviated of it aslong as they haven't converted to God and tried to fulfil their spiritual task.And this is why even those who so far have remained untouched by worldevents will have to be affected. And thus the world conflagration will befollowed by an incredibly difficult time which is felt wherever heartlessnessis prevalent.

People cannot imagine that a natural disaster of this magnitude is aboutto happen on earth, and at first its extent will not be recognised either,for it will take a long time before the news of it will have travelled aroundthe world, and this uncertain worsens the suffering and worry, since alloutside contact will have been cut off and will be difficult to re-establish.And the ruling authori will put pressure on people and bring them into carry out work which will almost go beyond their strength, and theywill be unable to defend themselves and live a wretched life without anyprospect of improvement. And yet, such suffering is necessary if peopleare to be lead to their real purpose, that is, to establish contact with Godand to appeal to Him for advice and help. And then the Word of God shallbe made accessible to them, then they shall be informed of God's activi ,of His will and His divine teaching of love, then they shall be referred tolife a er death, to the transience of all worldly things, to the meaning andpurpose of earthly life and their task, which consists of shaping their soulsand of living a way of life on earth which corresponds to God's will ....

e hour will soon arrive when God will speak to humani such that it willturn the whole world into turmoil. For one night will bring unspeakablemisery to those people whose countries will be affected by this disaster, andthe dawning day will be dreadful, for it will present the survivors with asight of devastation which exceeds all fears and all imagination. Yet God'swill is irrevocable, for He knows that human thinking needs to be shakenup, he know the souls'adversi , and in order to help them in their adversi

Most basic way of life in the coming time ....e individual person's fate ....

e coming time will bring a tremendous change of the existing livingconditions and people will be forced to lead a completely different lifein the midst of disorder and dreadful chaos, for the forthcoming naturaldisaster will cause immense destruction and it will take a long time untilthe former order can be restored again. Every person will have to contenthimself with a most basic way of life, he will be unable to lay any kind ofclaim to a comfortable life and be exposed to deprivations and tribulationswhich seem almost unbearable to him. And yet he will o en ask himselfthe question of why he is subjected to this aggravated life and be unableto give any other answer than that the state of his soul needs this test.And if he comes to this conclusion by himself he will also try to adapt tothe aggravated living conditions and as compensation envisage an easierlife in the beyond, in which case it will also become more bearable onearth, for he should come to the realisation that everything that befallspeople corresponds to God's eternal counsel. And then he will also have acompassionate heart for his fellow human being, he will help wherever itis feasible and those who believe in God and are striving towards Him willmutually ease the adversi . For love dwells within them and this helps toendure and overcome everything because it provides the human being withstrength from God, Who is love Itself. e human being's attitude towardstheir neighbours'hardship will determine how long he has to live in poverand difficult living conditions on earth himself .... He can improve theseby being willing to help his neighbour, for then God will also provide himwith the opportuni to put his will into action by giving to him what heneeds himself so that he can also share it with those who, like him, live inmost wretched conditions and thus lead a tough existence.

e individual person's intelligence will not be decisive since it will not beable to accomplish much because all previous living conditions will have

38

changed and only utmost patience and a willingness to make sacrifices willmake life bearable amongst each other. For it depends on this which kindof fate God will bestow upon the individual to endure. God Himself is love,and this love does not want people's suffering but their happiness; exceptthat this happiness cannot be granted to them as long as they themselves donot recognise that God is love. However, in order to learn to recognise Hima heart has to become loving, and love generally awakens through greatadversi and distress. And thus God has to send those upon humaniin order to fan the spark of love in every person's heart, and dependinghow he will then prove himself he will also be considered on the part ofthe eternal Dei . And so he can very quickly prepare a tolerable life forhimself again if he also does everything on his part to ease his fellow humanbeings'adversi . And he will truly be offered enough opportuni to let hisheart speak .... He will be able to be lovingly active in many different ways.... Spiritually as well as earthly demands will be made on him which heonly needs to fulfil in order to also reduce his own hardship and make hislife more bearable ....

BD 3975 received 13.02.1947

Changed living conditions ....Worldly-minded people ....

Entirely worldly orientated thinking will hardly adapt to the changing situ-ations of life and will only continue to attend to its physical improvement,and this will stop the human being from working at improving his soul.Anyone who allows matter to become his master will never be able to over-come it, and anyone who does not use the loss of material possessions asan aid in overcoming them will strive with increased eagerness to increasethem again, and if he is to be helped again it can only happen throughrenewed loss, so that he will learn to recognise the fleeting nature of matterand derive psychological benefit from it. However, all faith will also fallprey to increased earthly striving, and for this reason alone different campswill develop which are externally recognisable. Faithful people accept theirdifficult earthly situation as a Godsend and are therefore not interested in

39

increasing their earthly goods, whereas a person striving for possessionshas lost faith in a Power that wants to reveal Itself through events whichcause him material loss. His desire for the world dominates and thus hedoes not recognise God nor arrange his life in accordance with His will.

And thus a very busy time of activi will commence when people will wantto improve their situation which has become extraordinarily difficult due toGod's will. And then a person's way of thinking will become evident .... theloving person will help his fellow human being by making his life bearable,yet the heartless person will only want to rearrange his own life, he will doanything to provide himself with a good living standard again and not shyaway from accomplishing it at his neighbour's expense. And it will soonbecome clearly apparent with whose support he works, who provides himwith the energy for earthly activi and has taken possession of his soulin return. e believer, however, will also find help in every adversi , itjust will not be externally visible, but God's strength will inundate him, hewill also master every situation in life and always remain in contact withGod, his faith will deepen, his love for matter diminish, and this means fargreater progress than the increased earthly wealth of the former. For anyonewho sells his soul for the sake of earthly life only takes the short time onearth into consideration, which can be over for him at any time. And hefails to think of eterni which will be incredibly painful for him becausehe will be bound by matter in the same way as on earth. And therefore thehuman being should try to detach himself from all desire for it, he shouldaccept the difficult time in submission to God's will and join God evenmore closely the more helpless he is in an earthly respect .... For God willhelp him and reveal Himself to him through o en miraculous help .... Andthe time of affliction will only be short for him, but infinitely long will behis life in the spiritual kingdom where he, liberated from all matter, will beindescribably happy because he had already become a conqueror of matteron earth ....

e magnitude of the work of destruction ....

You people cannot yet imagine the extent of the act of destruction by thewill of God to take place, for it will outdo everything that there happened,ever. Countries and oceans will change, rivers will leave their shores andthus there are scenes created according to which people assume to be movedinto other areas and by that an indescribable chaos arises already becausepeople can't find each other anymore. Restlessly they will wander arounduntil strong-willed people show up, trying to create order and look a erthe weak people. e misery will be so big that love only will bear it andwherever one will intercede for the other there will soon an ease and helpbe felt that will obviously be granted from above.

Whoever now turns to God and calls upon Him with all of one's heart, helpshall be granted to the one, for now God with His love and omnipotenceshows Himself so clearly to the point that it will be easy for the weak believerto attain a solid faith and this time is a time of grace for the unbelieverwhere, in light of the phenomena that are based on the strength of faith,one can still easily change. ese phenomena will make everybody thinkbut only the one willing to believe will reap the benefits from it whereasthe others always just talk about an accident and bitterly face the severemisery, decline a Creator or condemn His actions. e size of the disastercannot bring them to their senses, they try to find a natural explanation foreverything and spiritual connections they reject altogether. In respect tothe experiences of the neighbor they remain hard and insensitive and arenot afraid to improve the condition for themselves at cost of the neighborswho are too weak to defend themselves.

Distress will be everywhere where God has spoken and He will speakwherever there is a most severe spiritual need so that the survivors willreceive a warning signal for the purpose of utilizing the time until the endand also that people of the countries not concerned come to their senses inview of the catastrophe that is too enormous to be le without attention.For all mankind will get into the grip of fear the natural disaster mightrepeat itself and cause a complete destruction of the earth. Well, actually,this is going to happen but not immediately a er the natural disaster.

41

Fear from that is but salutary for many since, in fact, the thought of asudden passing away and the life a er death becomes vivid and mightbring about a change of one's life s le. e world will want to intervenewith help yet won't be able to do so to the extent that would be required.Nevertheless, every one person willing to love and to help will be blessedby God because the great misery comes upon people for the purpose ofso ening their hearts and to do justice to their proper task, to act in loveon earth for the sake of gaining maturi of one's soul. As long as peoplejust seek supply for themselves they remain in self-love and don't get aheadspiritually. e need of their neighbors, however, can let their actions inlove become active and that's when they fulfill the will of God and theirearthly du as well. And then the most severe need is a blessing and itfulfills its purpose.

e catastrophe and its consequences ....Love for the neighbour ....

You are all returning to the condition of the most primitive lifes le, foronly by that it is possible to get you to serve in love for the neighbor, whichalone can redeem you. To all people is now given the opportuni to workin love but the free will is decisive as to how far the opportuni is utilized.And thus mankind is out to again create improved life conditions and justaccording to the will of the individual with just or unjust means at that,for there will be just a few serving but most of them letting themselves beserved and at the expense of the neighbors to again attain prosperi , eventhough for a short time only, for very soon the end will follow.

But the preceding to the end is set from eterni . A partial destruction ofinconceivable extent affecting vast areas of land and demanding countlesshuman lives. So, for these people then the end has come, however, as aresult of that their souls will enter the beyond yet. e last hour for thisworld has not yet come where also the portals to the spiritual kingdom willbe shut. But to the survivors is yet granted a last reprieve, an exceedingly

42

hard earthly life that may still be called a time of grace though, that yieldsan increased maturi to many who are still of good will.

e great happenings [actually] should get all people thinking and havethem seek contact with God but there are just a few who draw an advantagefor their soul from that by entrusting themselves to their Creator and Fatherfrom eterni and asking Him for mercy and help. And to all those helpshall be granted. For the misery will be big and so general that help from theoutside cannot be expected. Only mutually people can help each other andin this love for the neighbor they will be strongly supported from above;they will be able to manage jobs that are actually beyond their strength.Yet the will to help will bring them extraordinary supply of strength, thewill to help will have a blessed effect also on themselves so that the helpfulperson receives spiritually and physically what he/she is willing to pass on,and thus one's own need is removed by that as well. e power of faithand love will visibly appear and every person can ease one's lot by readilyremembering one's neighbor and not just one's own need. It's for the sakeof reviving love this great need comes upon you because only love canredeem you, and it continuously keeps cooling off the closer it is to the end. And whoever is still capable and willing to love won't be crushed down bythe need but they will overcome it by virtue of one's love for the neighbor.

Still, there will be great sorrow everywhere. People will get torn apart, theywon't have contact with each other anymore and everyone is now offeredthe opportuni to devote all one's energies for the ease of the surroundingplight. And man can accomplish a lot if just calling upon God for supportand having a desire of help for others. But whoever makes use of one'sneighbor and tries to take advantage of his need for one's own self will, atthe end, be counted to the ones to be swallowed up by the earth at the lastday. He will be counted to the ones to be damned because they turned intotrue devils and will have to share his [satan's] wages, who will be put inbondage and be again banned in the new earth for an endless long time.

But then there will be chaos andyou humans will be faced by the immense task of making yours and yourfellow human beings'lives more tolerable, to gain control of the chaos byhelping in extraordinary ways and create bearable conditions again withthe minimum means at your disposal. For those of you who live in theregions which will be hit by a natural disaster of inconceivable proportionswill lose everything. You humans will not and cannot believe this as yetbecause a natural event like this has never been experienced before .... Butthe subsequent end of this earth still requires such an intervention on Mypart because I want to address humani just once more in order to bring itto its senses, in order to still save those who are of good will. And nobodywill be able to ignore this language, but whether they will open their heartsand ears will still be up to them. For even then most people will turn awayfrom Me, they will remain in the isolation they had previously entered dueto their unbelief, and they will look for and find all kinds of explanationsfor this event apart from the correct one being that I want to speak to them,that a God wants to reveal Himself and address them in order to bring themto their senses, in order to motivate them into contacting Him in greatestadversi and danger.

Countless people will lose their lives and the survivors will be faced by vastdevastation, there will be such overwhelming adversi that only firm faithin Me and My help will be able to banish it which, however, only few peoplewill possess. Earthly things which seem unattainable will nevertheless bepossible with My help, and I will o en work wonders where true believerstrust in Me and My help. But the earth has to suffer an upheaval andhuman hearts, too, must be extraordinarily touched in order to help theirneighbour in these hard times, and wherever this unselfish love, this will tohelp other people, expresses itself an obvious improvement of the situationwill also take place. My forceful intervention only serves the purposethat people should put their `ego'aside for a change and practise unselfish

44

neighbourly love .... en I will also be able to resolve their hardship, thenI will be able to provide them with the bare essentials, and I will truly takecare of those who reveal this unselfishness. Never before have such harshconditions been experienced but I have to speak as distinctly as that so thateveryone can recognise Me in My might, and anyone who pays attention tothe extraordinary help which could not humanly be expected will also beable to recognise My love. Anyone who merely establishes or strengthensa heartfelt bond with Me can always also be assured of My help, yet peoplewithout faith will be in serious trouble. ey will try to help themselvesand o en at the expense of their fellow human beings .... but they will notderive any benefit from it, neither earthly nor spiritually ....

Not much time will pass until this disastrous event takes place but youhumans are being made aware of it and that, in itself, is already an incrediblegrace, for then you will also know Whom you must contact, Who can helpyou in extreme adversi and danger .... is is why I announce this eventtime and again, and anyone who listens should appeal for a firm faith, forstrength and vigour, in order to remain steadfast. In that case he will indeedtake the path to Me, Who alone can help him in this adversi .... And hewill not need to fear anything, for I will take care of My Own, no matterhow .... And anyone belongs to My Own who believes in Me, who prays toMe, who thus unites with Me and therefore can always be assured of Myprotection and My help .... And they have the task of referring their fellowhuman beings to Me so that they, too, will take the path to Me when thehour comes which will decide the weal and woe of all people ....

e fulfilling of the predictions ....Proof for the unbelievers ....

None of My predictions will be unfulfilled because the urgency of thetime that is far more severe spiritually than physically calls for it. And inobserving the behavior of mankind, in taking a closer look at the thinkingand endeavoring of people you, too, will see the urgency of a change of allthe conditions of life, because only by such it is possible to change people.And that's why you can count on a soon change, for the time has elapsed.

e need up till now has been without progress and thus yet a bigger needonly can offer a last possibili and this one will irrevocably come by Mywill. For I will turn Myself into focus and will be recognized by everyonewho is of good will.

Whatever human will, human hate and unlovingness has accomplished sofar will yet be surpassed by My will: Annihilation and destruction will alsotake from you what you believe to own in regard to earthly goods. Peopleneed to get into a low that causes them to call for help by Me if salvationis to be provided for them prior to end. ey need to understand that anyearthly directed hope will be in vain, and it is only then when a few willlook into spiritual matters and it is for the sake of these few I'm going fora last resort before the arrival of the end. However, the time period thatfollows My last rescue operation will be hard for everyone, believers andunbelievers alike, except the believers will continuously receive strength inorder to keep going. e faith of many people will become shaky if it is nota living faith. And this is My intention that a dead faith be reawakened bythat too, because it would otherwise be of no value for the eterni . osepeople bare of and those weak in faith I will help by My voice which willsound loud and audible. However, there will be a big falling away from Me,the last storm will shake off many unsuitable fruit. Yet, by that I won't bedeterred to let the storm go across the earth. e one who is steadfast willprove to be reliable for eterni .

46

And so, then, do not doubt My word, await the day that will arrive withcertain and, until then, make use of every day because you can still winmany by being active at the work for your soul. Every day of the miserycan yield spiritual success to you as long as you think of Me, as long as youkeep aware that nothing can happen without My will or My permission.And, relieved, cast all your worries upon Me and I will help you bear whatI, for the sake of your souls, impose on you. e time will pass by you ina hurry, yet, no matter how hard it is for you, it is an act of mercy becauseyou can achieve a far greater progress than in a long, calm time which letsyou become indifferent and lazy and won't let you get closer to your lastdestination. erefore await patiently the coming true of My predictions,do not expect an ending of the misery by My intervention but, rather, justa change of it because your souls are not ready yet for the thorough peaceon this earth; you are to fight and gain a strong faith, only then I can takethe misery away from you, only then you can experience a time of peaceon earth or in the kingdom of the beyond. Yet, always bear in mind againMy word is truth and I do not depart by one iota from what I proclaimeda long time ago and you will be your own witnesses, you will experiencewhat I proclaim so that you can take a stand for My word before the world.For My last intervention shall be proof to those who did not believe Myword so far, whom I still intend to win for Myself and to whom I obviouslymake Myself known by means of the natural happenings. So that they willbelieve in My might and in My working through you.

And thus I again proclaim to you: e day will come suddenly and unex-pectedly. It will take the place of a severe earthly misery, yet again, it willbring a new misery in a different form. But if you believe that only love foryou directs Me to let you go through suffering it will thus be bearable foryou, for once the end will come and the redemption for all who believe inMe and dedicate themselves to Me, for all who profess their faith in Mebefore the world.

Amen

Confirmation of the prophesies ....

Do not let yourselves be swayed and even though the truth of My gospelfrom above is questioned, there won't any extended time pass by anymorewhere you will receive the confirmation of that which I continuouslyannounce to you. Although people who are still attached to the world andits goods too much are hard to be persuaded to accept it but the happeningswill touch them the more, for they have to give up everything and will behappy to be allowed to still keep their life. It is certainly a time of severetrials for all people who are hit by the natural disaster, but to all whosincerely turn to Me in faith my help will obviously be granted to them.

erefore, you ought to miss no opportuni to make your fellow manaware of that intervention of Mine which also stops a disastrous earthlyhappening from which it is clearly shown this need is not brought upon youby man, but that I decide Myself as to how much affliction every individualone has to take upon oneself that, it's true, won't be less grievous but is tobe regarded as the action of a higher Power, against which no person canfight with one's own strength.

And you people will now have to decide whether you want to acknowledgesuch a Power, or else, to still deny it. And this alone will certainly determineyour further lot. (If denying this Power the opponent will then support you,to whom you will be enslaved completely.) Because that's when a powerwill then support you, to whom you will be totally enslaved. You will actruthlessly on your neighbors and you will at the expense of those againobtain that what you need in order to continue the old life s le. And hishand (power) won't let go of you anymore. But whoever is strong in faithwon't be deserted, I Myself, will give him the strength needed to standbecause his love for his neighbors is obvious and, the way he gives, itwill also be given to him, because there's nothing impossible for Me. Andthose will wonderfully experience My help and humbly submit to theirposition.

And the fact it will turn out this way is already specified in the Scriptureand has been proclaimed by seers and prophets over and over. But there'snobody le any more who is able to stolidly believe to the point of full

48

and thorough commitment to it, and even the recipients of My word havemoments where they feel slight doubts creeping up in them. Yet againand again My instructions are given to them to announce themselves tothe fellow man, and they certainly carry out their work faithfully in Myvineyard. For the one thing is certain to them, the time of the end hascome and so they deem My intervention to be possible, especially whenconfirmed in the scripture as well; the coming of an earthquake so severethe world has never experienced it ....

And thus all the prophesies will come true because My word is truth and isbound to come true, just the day and the hour is not made known to youpeople. And that's why you're always postponing the event into the far awayfuture without considering the future once to become presence as well andthus those people are affected who just happen to live at that time.

Let it be told to all of you: e time granted to you on earth is but short anddo not doubt My word I guide down to earth for the sake of making youaware of the happenings laying ahead of you, because all of you would stillhave time to change if you sincerely wanted to. But also, you will irrevocablyfall into the hands of the opponent and will, together with him, be put intobonds. You will again be forced to go through the earthly creation of whichyou cannot be warned enough, because it is a hard lot which you will againhave to bear. But it cannot be avoided, for everything will again have to bere-cast into bondage of matter and the lawful order re-established for thesake of enabling the spiritual still bound in the form [of matter], once inthe condition of the awareness of the self, to take the path of return to Me,which also demands a total re-arrangement of the surface of the earth.

Amen

Proclamation of the end ....`You only have but a little time le ....'

Only a little time remains for you and you have to sincerely preparefor the day when an act of destruction will take place like it has notbeen experienced before. And even though I keep announcing this to youover and over you are opposing My word with doubts and are thereforelukewarm with your work of your soul. And you've got but little time le .But I cannot get your attention in another way than through My word; ifyou do not believe it you will be startled when the last signs will appear.It's true I will forewarn you once more a short time prior to it but tothose words, too, you won't lend any more credence than to the previousannouncements because My forbearance irritates you, because you cannotunderstand I tarry for the sake of the souls yet to be saved, even thoughthe time has elapsed long ago. Some few are to be saved yet; to those I willspare the endless long walk of a re-embodiment [into matter] on the newearth and that's why I'm patient and tarry.

However, the last period of grace will come to an end, too; therefore takeMy words seriously that you've only got a little time le and you will regretevery day you do not make proper use of for your soul. And, surprisinglyquick, a change in the world events will take place and a few days will sufficeto put you into a completely new situation. And that's when you ought toremember My words and to put the spiritual ahead of the earthly becausethe worries about the latter is irrelevant, since you cannot retain anythingfor yourselves that I do not want to retain for you and it is up to My willand might to physically protect and take care of you. Just think about yoursoul, wherever the need is provided to you be helpful and willing to giveand get into intimate contact with Me in order to receive the strength tohold out and to do justice to all requirements of life. Receive continuousstrength from My word for in it you've got a source of strength by whichyou can refresh yourselves and that will never run dry. Always be ready forMe and I will not leave you no matter what may come your way.

Amen

`Draw strength from My Word ....'Prediction ....

You should all draw strength from this Word of Mine. Consider that I Amcoming down to you Myself in order to grant you support in your battleof life .... realise the fact that I will not leave My Own without comfortand strength if they are in need of it. Don't be content with only using Mystrength once, but want it all the time and it will flow to you in abundance.And thus I want to inform you yet again that you will be in desperate needof this strength, because the hour is not far-off which will deprive you of allsense of securi , the hour which should bring you close to Me if only youwould think of Me in your adversi . en you will definitely raise yourhands to Me in prayer and appeal for My help, and it will be granted tothose who respond to My call, which you can only perceive in your heart.You will feel My presence, you will realise the gravi of the situation youare in, and that will make you take refuge in Me.

Remain faithfully devoted to Me in this adversi and it will pass you by.And draw strength and comfort from this Word of Mine in advance ....Accept Me in your hearts beforehand, lessen your resistance to Me byconsciously handing your will over to Me, and don't doubt but believe, forthis faith will keep the immense adversi at bay even if you are in the midstof the event. For the sake of the world My omnipotence has to be clearlyrecognisable to everyone, for the sake of the world this major event willcome upon you, revealing to you My will and My omnipotence. And itseffect can only be eased with those who believe and trustingly confide theirhardship in Me, for My will controls life and death, and My will lets peoplesuffer if it is necessary or spares them if they hand themselves over to Me.

And My will shall also shape happenings such that events shall onlymildly affect My Own who are loyally devoted to Me. For it has to befallhumankind in order to lead them back to Me, as far as it is still possible andthe souls are not yet entirely hardened and deluded. I Am concerned aboutthese souls and therefore use the last means, which appears to be cruel andyet offers the only prospect for their salvation. In order to make this hourbearable for My Own I give them comfort and strength through My Word

51

in advance. Anyone who allows himself to be influenced by it will not fearthe occasion. He knows about My love and care and puts his complete trustin Me .... he will not anxiously await the day but be fully confident of beingled through all horrors. For I know My Own and My Own know Me ....

Amen

Who was Bertha Dudde?

Bertha Dudde was born on 1. April 1891, as the second oldest daughterof a painter, in Liegnitz, Silesia. She became a dressmaker and began toreceive pronouncements from God through the `Inner Word'on 15. June1937.

“In a clear dream I was moved to write down my thoughts a er devoutprayer. Understandably this o en gave way to doubt and inner conflictsuntil I was convinced that I was, myself, by no means the initiator of theseexquisitely gracious words; but instead it was the spirit within me, in otherwords, the love of the Heavenly Father was obviously responsible for themand introduced me to the truth”.

“I was given knowledge of the spiritual world which far exceeded myelementary school education. I received and receive this knowledge as adictation in a state of complete consciousness; I write down everything I amtold in shorthand, in order to then transfer it word for word to clean copy.

e procedure does not take place in a state of compulsion, for example ina state of trance or ecstasy, but in an absolutely level-headed frame of mind.However, I have to want it to happen and then I can receive these dictationsvoluntarily; they are neither bound by time nor place.

“Now I only have one wish, which is to be able to make these gi s of graceaccessible to many more people and in accordance with the will of GodHimself to be allowed to do much more work in His vineyard.”

(Quotations from an autobiography from 1959).

Bertha Dudde died on 18. September 1965 in Leverkusen, Germany.
