God Himself reveals what will happen to us inthe future

BD 8098 received 09.02.1962

God reveals Himself in times of spiritual hardship ....

Every thought you send to Me in spirit and in truth is received by Me, andI really seek to answer your questions truthfully. But you, too, must try toaccept this answer without prejudice .... You should feel like emp vesselswhich I want to fill with the correct contents that can only be beneficial forall of you .... And you should know that My love for you is limitless, that Itwill therefore use every means to help you, who are so close to perfection,to achieve this final goal, for which there is not much time le . You shouldalso know that My adversary has immense power during the period beforethe end, which is granted to him by people who do not seriously strivefor their final perfection themselves .... and that he will also succeed toachieve many people's downfall again, whose earthly progress will thenhave been in vain. Since I know everything, even the fact that many stillundecided souls are too weak to resist his shameful actions .... and sinceMy love is infinite and I truly want to liberate all people from his hands yetcannot contravene the law of eternal order, I will act within the frameworkof eternal order by helping all those who will merely raise their thoughts toMe, whose will is not against Me, even if they have not yet openly decidedfor Me ....

But I want to help them make the right decision. us I have to give themlight and strength so that they can learn to recognise Me one day and thenalso muster the strength to resist My adversary and to strive towards Me. IAm by no means a God Who could not be reached by you .... I Am love, andlove is never distant from Its living creations, It always and forever pursuesthem, even if they are still extremely remote from Me. First you have tolearn to recognise this God Who, as Father, takes a personal interest in thefate of every individual human being and for Whom you therefore shouldnever search in the distance. One heartfelt thought from My child calls Meto him, and I will be and remain near to him, for the child's love does notallow a separation again .... And I will reveal Myself to him .... And this

1

is My great help, which I bestow on humani in the last days, who sufferutmost spiritual hardship .... I will speak to people Myself, and all peoplewho merely open their hearts to hear Me speak from above may hear MyWords ....

I will impart light and strength to them through My Word, which theyneed for their perfection. And thus I Am at work Myself .... your eternalGod and Father .... to lessen My adversary's activi , to offer people a rescueanchor which enables them to escape the danger of yielding to his activi .I speak to people Myself, and use for this a willing instrument which servesme knowingly and allows My direct action on and within him .... becauseI do not impose My will on humani but it should freely decide whetherto accept My Word or not .... But I Myself speak to all people .... because IAm motivated by My infinite love which will never end and which is alwayswilling to help. And you humans should believe that the spiritual hardshipis vast, because you are approaching the end. You should also know thatthe end is the result of My love .... For I know what needs to be done, Iknow when the time has come that I have to restore lawful order again soas to continue with the work of return for the fallen spirits.

But I also know where and how help can still be given, and I truly use everyopportuni to open people's eyes while they are still on earth in order toreveal Myself to them .... My sheep recognise the voice of their shepherd.... and they follow it. However, My voice will sound in the universe too,for My Word is also heard in infini , it speaks to all self-aware spirits andpermeates them with light and strength .... us you will not be able tosay that you cannot or may not hear Me Myself .... For then My love orMy might would be limited .... And even if I Am and remain unattainablefor My living creations I Am nevertheless intimately united with themthrough love, and so close that every living creation can hear Me if he lovesMe too and thus has established the uni again, as it was in the beginning.... For in the beginning all beings could hear My Word, and this was theirbeatitude, and one day it will be their beatitude again when the light of Mylove will permeate the beings once more as before ....

Amen

Confirmation of prophesies ....World events ....

is is given to you as confirmation that everything will be fulfilled as God'sspirit has revealed to you. e world does not believe that the decisive houris close at hand, it believes that the time which the Lord had revealed onearth has not yet come, and therefore it will not face the event in naturewell prepared. And for this reason the Lord repeatedly reminds peoplenot to forget about Him. But God's spirit does not err and when it speaksevery word should be believed and fearlessly passed on because the speakeruses the language of God. He only repeats His will. And those whom Heselects have the right knowledge. ey accept and reiterate what is Hiswill. eir human thought is guided to perceive what corresponds to thetruth. eir power of judgment is sharpened, their love for justice and truthprotects them from erroneous thought and when they speak, every wordcorresponds to the truth. And thus take the following message:

Every world event is related to humani 's spiritual condition. Admittedly,the reasons are mere earthly disputes, and therefore its development andits effect are seen from a purely worldly point of view. However, that theworld event is primarily the consequence of humani 's spiritual low level,so to speak, and simultaneously should be a means to elevate same isbeyond the understanding of worldly minded people and therefore theydon't want to believe it either, in spite of all the signs. Hence the event innature will find them unprepared and they have no opportuni to protectthemselves or to escape. Consequently it is foolish to ignore God's advicewhen it is offered to people. It is the divine Creator's will that the conflict,which presently involves half the world, shall remain undecided becausehuman beings shall not obtain their presumed right by force of arms. Godgave people the commandment to love each other and this commandmentis no longer heeded. Humani inflicts every imaginable evil on itself andtherefore also has to be struck severely; God Himself has to take on thisoffice of judge that they should recognise a Lord above themselves Whoknows of every injustice. at is why you should not invalidate God's voice;you should not question the truthfulness and not determine for yourselves

3

the moment when this prophesy shall be fulfilled .... e world is in serioustrouble and can only be saved by this natural disaster which will followimmediately a er the great decisive battle (offensive), which will indeeddecide a tremendous struggle between nations but which lacks all noblecauses and is merely a battle for power and importance .... And this battlewill be stopped by a higher power, and it will come to pass as it is proclaimed....

Amen

World conflagration ....Natural disaster ....Decision ....

Nothing will remain hidden from you, who have offered to be of service toMe, for the final events will be so huge that you cannot be le in the darkabout them, and especially if I want to speak through you to all people ....Hence you also ought to know that it will only require a modest impact totrigger a catastrophe which at first can be seen from a purely worldly pointof view, but which is the signal for the subsequent natural disaster, althoughit is certainly not started by human will it is nevertheless the consequenceof human will in as much as it will start a world conflagration that cannotbe stopped by anything other than My will. And since humankind alwaysonly pays attention to world events something has to happen which isinexplicable to them .... the gaze of worldly people has to be visibly directedtowards My intervention, and all human intentions must take second placein view of the discovery that something is taking place in the universewhich could ultimately affect every human being ....

us, people must learn to fear God and not their human enemies ....And although it is up to every individual to believe in a God or not, thesaid cosmic event is nevertheless greater and more life-threatening thanthe world conflagration which then will recede into the background. Forthen people's spiritual attitude towards the Creator and Provider of allthings will decide whether and how the natural disaster will take effect ....Whether you believe it or not, this event is approaching you with giant

4

strides, and only a short period of time is separating you from it. And youwho know this should make every one of you fellow human beings awareof what lies ahead of him, even if you will find no credence, but the eventswill confirm it ....

For the end, too, is coming ever closer .... is natural disaster is just a lastsign of it, but who will still allow himself to be influenced by it? Peoplewill only just see it as a natural disaster and not be able to recognise anyconnection with humani 's spiritual state .... apart from the few who arespiritually awake but unable to get through and thus warn people in vainof the final end which they are inevitably approaching. Don't let the signsof the times pass you by unnoticed for they are cautioning all of you thatyou are living in the last days, and remember that you only have little timele in which you will have to decide whether you want to take the path toMe, Who can and will save you in all adversi .... or whether you want tostrive towards the adversary again who wants to ruin you again for endlesstimes.

For the sake of your freedom of will you cannot be informed of the day andthe hour, but I can always just tell you with certain that there is not muchtime le to you. Yet worldly events will affect you all, and thus you takelittle notice of what I say to you .... And it will befall you with tremendousforce so that you won't know how to protect yourselves .... But let Me tellyou that only I Myself will be able to offer you protection, that you haveto take refuge in Me in order to be led through all dangers to body andsoul. And if you humans would only just learn that a higher Authori is atwork and that you have to call upon this higher Authori otherwise youwill be hopelessly lost, for My adversary will use all his power just oncemore in order to get his hands on you. And anyone who does not decidein favour of Me anymore in the short time until the end will then also bebound in matter, and he will have to take an infinitely long path throughthe creations of the new earth once more ....

Amen

God's intervention ....

My will shall defeat human will, My intervention shall prevent people'sintentions, and before long every power shall be weakened in as much asby itself it is helpless against My will .... For I will show the world thatit cannot exclude Me and that I will redirect earthly affairs when humanbeings are no longer able to do so themselves. I allow events to run theircourse until it is clearly apparent which power wants to assert itself onearth, but then I won't hesitate any longer and disable this power, if onlytemporarily, so that the time shall be fulfilled. I will visibly appear beforethe end, i.e. I will once more approach all human beings as overwhelmingstrength which only expresses itself destructively because nothing else butfear can persuade people to call upon Me .... the fear of death from whichthey cannot be saved without My help. ere is no other way to turn theirthoughts towards Me. And earthly power will disappear into thin air; itis equally incapable of resisting the forces of nature through which I willspeak. A sudden change will occur, all human considerations will becomeinvalid, new problems will have to be solved, new difficulties will appearand much strength will be needed yet again to master the new situation ....And this is My will.

I have compassion for humani which, in spite of the most severe hardship,cannot find its way to Me, which only takes notice of world events and doesnot detect therein the effect of its deluded reasoning and extreme distancefrom God .... which believes that all fault and origin of adversi rests inhuman will but not in their own spiritual pover , which is the cause andwhich every human being should aim to resolve. And thus I will confrontpeople with My will to make them realise that they are also at the mercy ofanother Power so that they will approach this Power for help .... that theyacknowledge Me .... because only then will I be able to help them. Peopleare in urgent need of help, yet they close themselves to the strength theyrequire. And to make them receptive of this strength I will allow severesuffering to happen. In just a short time you will hear Me, and the truth ofMy Word will be proven to you and blessed are those who believe beforeI provide them with proof, blessed are those who prepare themselves and

6

constantly draw their strength from Me, for they need not fear the hardship,nor will they be harmed by the forces of nature, because this is My will ....

Amen

BD 6324 received 03.08.1955

Approach of a star ....

Open your hearts wide, be ready to receive My light of love from above andlisten to Me: A sure sign of the approaching end is the visible appearanceof a star which will move into the direction of your earth and yet takesa peculiar course .... it will o en withdraw from your sight and thensuddenly appear again, because it will be accompanied by impenetrablenebulae which every now and then will disperse only to condense anew....

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 calculations

7

of 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 willresult 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 ....

And for that reason you humans should know what lies ahead of you sothat you may find faith easier when in your great need you think of Him,Who is Lord of heaven and earth .... of all stars and worlds and to Whosewill everything is subordinate .... You receive knowledge of this in advancebecause it can help you find faith if you are of good will .... A disaster willcome over you .... but for every one of you it can also be a blessing if hegains life for his soul in that way, even if he should meet with earthly death.... if he calls upon Me in his need ....

Amen

BD 6970 received 16.11.1957

Calm before the storm ....Illusion of peace ....

And even if it seems to you as if you are approaching a period of peace,you should not let yourselves be deceived .... it is only the calm before thestorm and sooner than you think there will be changes in the face of thosewho speak of peace but start to throw the torch amongst the nations ofthis earth. e lull is dangerous for you because you get drowsy and inthis state only value your earthly existence .... erefore, I will continue todisturb people from their tranquilli in order to keep them awake. Andthus much more will happen still, time and again people's attention will bedrawn to accidents and disasters of all kinds. In addition to the apparentprogress and earthly prosperi people will also have to take part in such

8

events where human strength does not suffice to avoid them. ey shouldlearn to realise that no-one is safe from such blows of fate, no matter howsecure his earthly life appears to be.

Do not be fooled by the world situation which seems to calm down, for theyare all deceptive machinations, and you might get a rude awakening if youtrust this calm and ignore every caution that points to the end. e changewill come suddenly, and then you all should be prepared and thus believethat the turning point will come. You will be able to observe many signs ofthe last days, but at the same time My adversary will throw sand into youreyes too .... For he does not want you to believe in an end, to take seriousstock of yourselves and change. For this reason he also influences hisservants to make people believe that they are approaching a new, gloriousfuture in peace and joy. And he succeeds, for people will always ratherbelieve what they can observe themselves than what is proclaimed to themfrom the spiritual kingdom. In any case, they rather want to believe in abeautiful and happy future for themselves in an earthly sense than in anend of this earth.

But I will not stop warning and cautioning you, for it does not merelyconcern the few years of your earthly life but it concerns eterni ....And My admonitions will become increasingly more urgent the morean evident `calm'spreads across the earth .... the more people accept aseemingly peaceful existence and forget their good intentions, which theymight perhaps have already taken due to the constant references to theapproaching end. By using the world My adversary will once more extendhis tentacles to people, and it requires a strong faith not to fall prey to hispower.

For this reason I will draw your attention time and again to what still awaitsyou .... Don't let yourselves be deceived .... My Word is truth and will cometo pass, and My Word tells you of an approaching end, which is precededby a distinct intervention by Me, a natural disaster on an huge scale .... Andthis catastrophe will surprise the believers of peace, and even then theycould still turn around and take the short path until the end in constantstriving for perfection ....

But this catastrophe will cost untold human lives .... And how do you knowwhether you are not amongst them? Whether it is not already too late for

9

you, who live indifferently and with future hope and allowed yourselvesto be dazzled by the prince of this world? erefore you should alwaysremember My Word when you hear about people's sudden death, aboutmisfortunes and all kinds of human suffering. I thereby want to remindyou all of a sudden end, I want to turn your attention to the Power Whichcan destroy everything you fabricate, and Which can ruin all your plans.... Unite yourselves more with this Power .... find the path to Me, entrustyourselves to Me and appeal to Me for right guidance, for protection andmercy, and believe that there is only peace in uni with Me .... that youwill be deceived when earthly peace is promised to you. For humani nolonger lives such that it can have a peaceful earthly existence, it no longerstrives for spiritual development and therefore has also lost the right to liveon this earth ....

Amen

Signs of the last days ....Battle of faith ....Chaos ....

To speci (know?) the moment of spiritual change would not benefithumani since the precise knowledge is an interference with free will,because at the approach of the predicted time the human being would feelobliged to change his way of life. But it is not God's will that people shallreceive knowledge of the day and hour when He sits in judgment overthem, they shall only know that the end is near and by the signs of thetime become aware of this end. However, if devout human beings ask Himfor clarification He will answer them in a manner that is helpful for thesalvation of their soul ....

e Last Judgment is preceded by the last days, which last just a few monthsand are characterized by an exceptionally rigorous battle of faith. As soonas this battle of faith is carried out quite openly, as soon as all secrecy isignored and all spiritual aspirations are bluntly and recklessly attacked, assoon as laws and decrees are endorsed which prohibit people's spiritualpursuits, as soon as all divine commandments are no longer observed, as

10

soon as all believers are persecuted and have no more rights, the last dayshave entered into their final phase and the Last Judgment can be expecteddaily and hourly .... However, before this battle of faith flares up, humaniwill find itself in a spiritual and worldly chaos; there will be noticeableregression in every respect. And this regression will be initiated by peoplewho are dominated by Satan. He will show himself in earthly devastationand destruction, in heartless laws, in a God- opposing way of life, in civildisobedience and rebellion against the governing powers and in brutaloppression by the latter, in restriction of freedom and in evasion of law andjustice.

ese conditions will ensue a er a huge earthly tremor, which takes placein accordance with God's will in order to terminate a conflict betweennations that human will fails to end. For the people who are affected by thisearthly tremor it will denote a change of their accustomed way of life, it willbe a time of greatest deprivation and most difficult living conditions, andalthough this time will be favourable for the spreading of the divine Wordit will not signi a revival of a worldly-clerical power. People will indeedeagerly strive to improve their earthly living conditions but these efforts willnot be compatible with spiritual aspirations, with the belief in an AuthoriWhich holds them to account and with the divine commandments thatrequire love. And that is why everything that interferes with the returnto the former good living standard comes under attack. us the battleof faith will start soon a er the divine intervention which turns globalaffairs into a different direction. e events will follow each other quicklyas they are hastened by people's low spirit, and this spiritual low showsitself in people's heartless actions, in their thinking, which shows extremedepravi and which prepares deeds that can only be called satanic. Andthereby you can identi the moment in time when God's intervention canbe anticipated. e global affairs themselves shall be a timetable to you, bythe actions people are capable of doing you can see that they have totallydistanced themselves from God and this clearly contradicts the opinionthat this human race can still expect a spiritual renaissance.

e people who faithfully remain with God will indeed intensi theirintimate relationship with Him, they will be in truth His Church whichwill stand firm amid misery and affliction, but it is just a small group.

11

e world, however, denies God, it is hostile towards all who supportGod, and this spiritual need signifies that the end is near .... erefore payattention to the signs of the time, pay attention to humani 's conduct,to their desertion of God and their preference of the world, when peopleare evidently influenced by Satan, when they are enslaved by him and doeverything to disobey the divine commandments, when nothing is sacredto them any longer, neither the life of their fellow human beings nor theirpossessions; when lies triumph and the truth is treated with hostili youknow that the end is not far. en you can watch the events unfold asthey are revealed to you, because it will all take place during the lifetimeof a man who, in a manner of speaking, hastens the disintegration, whopays homage to the destructive principle, who is not constructively butdestructively active. And this man's end is also the end of the world, i.e.the end of the world in its present form and the end of those people whopresently inhabit the earth, which are separate from those who belong toGod. And now you know that there is not much time, that you are notgiven a long period of time and that the end is upon you shortly. And forthis reason you have to prepare yourselves, you have to live as if everyday is your last because you don't know when you will be called back andwhether you will live to see the end of the earth. If, however, you are neededas defenders of God during the time of battle before the end, God will alsoguide your thoughts correctly and you will know when the time has come.... the time of the divine intervention by means of unleashing the forces ofnature, the time of the battle of faith and the time of the Last Judgment .... Itis God's will that you make people aware, thus He will also enlighten yourspirit and guide your thoughts in a manner that you understand correctlyand only voice and reveal to your fellow human beings what you haveunderstood properly ....

Amen

Most difficult conditions of life a er the disaster ....

In the foreseeable future you will live in different circumstances and have tochange your way of life completely if you want to meet the requirements ofthe new, very difficult conditions and be able to endure them. is changeis unavoidable because the last days are entering into their final phase,which is tantamount to a most difficult struggle for existence in order toachieve the fastest spiritual advancement. Because the end is near andwhat this huge earthly hardship cannot achieve now cannot be achieveda erwards on this earth either. But anyone whose life is spared followingMy last forceful intervention can, with good will, also adjust spiritually,he can associate all events with the eternal Creator's will and derive thegreatest benefit for his soul from his attitude. Only entirely unbelievingpeople shall reject this correlation and try to master their earthly life withtheir own strength yet using their willpower wrongly, not in accordancewith divine will. And they will succeed because they are supported by theGod-opposing power.

However, the believers can also overcome the most difficult conditionswith God's strength, which they themselves can, in fact, feel but whichdoes not express itself in an externally noticeable manner, in that thehuman being is surrounded by earthly possessions. Instead of this he willfind inner strength to endure even the most difficult circumstances in life.Earthly hardship will be immense and not be easily rectified by normalmeans because the vast destruction, by divine will, will naturally result inmassive chaos and make excessive demands on everyone's strength. Andthen every individual will have to draw on God's strength if he wantsto survive the worst time. But this is at his disposal in abundance. And,therefore, God always instructs His servants to point to the forthcomingevents, to inform people of the approaching disaster so that they can contactthe strength-giving power in advance, Which excludes no one who desiresstrength. Human beings are not yet able to imagine such interventionby God and thus dismiss what they find difficult to believe in. And yetthey should mentally consider it so that they won't face the event entirelyunprepared when the day arrives. Because it will irrevocably come and

13

surprise everyone including the believers, and it will result in enormouschanges .... And blessed is he who changes his thought, who corrects hisattitude towards God, who finds his way to Him in times of greatest need.... Because that day shall be a blessing for him ....

Amen

Catastrophe ....Antichrist ....Battle of faith .... End ....

What will still take place before the end of the earth can only ever beannounced as something extremely difficult and sorrowful for humani ,for God's voice will sound everywhere, albeit in entirely different ways ....For where His Words of love are ignored He will manifest Himself moreclearly; there will be suffering and adversi in all places, accidents andcatastrophes will alternate with natural occurrences, where the elementsthreaten and destroy life .... And all this is God's working or His permissionto disturb people and make them aware of the real purpose for their earthlylife. And where people are united with Him the hardship will be easier tobear, since He will not abandon His Own even though they are in the midstof these happenings and unable to avoid the immense adversi during thelast days before the end.

And you all only need to take notice of what happens around you and inthe world, for they are visible warning signs and for the believer alwaysrecognisable as God's intervention or permission, because you were fore-told that you will have to endure severe hardship and affliction before theend. All the signs which were predicted for the end are recognisable; yetyou humans always want to see it in the distant future, you don't want tobelieve that the time of the end has come. But you have also been told thatthe time will be shortened for the sake of those who want to believe andstand firm. And thus everything will happen in very quick succession ....

e affliction and hardship, the battle of faith and the Antichrist's fury ....which will emerge only too clearly, and this alone should make the endtime credible to you. For the people who are enslaved by him will surpass

14

each other in evilness, hatred, lies and vindictiveness, craving for powerand rannies will clearly identi his actions, and people will support himbecause they agree with his will and ruthlessly proceed against their fellowhuman beings who still believe and want to remain faithful to God.

And these will receive exceptional protection and strength, for God willstay with His Own and lead them through all adversi and difficulties.And blessed is he who recognises the time and entrusts himself to the onlyOne, Who can protect him in every hardship .... blessed is he who believes.... blessed is he who lets Him speak to him and constantly receives strengthfrom Him .... For even this difficult time will come to an end and the fateof those who endure to the end will be a blissful one. Sooner or later thepower of God's adversary will be defeated, then he and his followers willbe bound and there will be peace again on earth .... But not on this earthanymore because its end has come according to the law of eterni .... Butit will emerge anew through God's might, and people who endure to theend will be relocated to the paradise of the new earth, because they believein their God and Father Who will save them from utmost hardship andaffliction .... For the time is fulfilled and the end comes as it is announcedin Word and Scripture ....

Battle of faith - Antichrist ....

e closer the end, the fiercer will the battle between light and darknessrage .... However, you will not experience the full horror of the battle untilit turns against My followers, when it is planned to banish the faith inMe in Jesus Christ, when the act of Salvation will become My adversary'starget .... when people will be demanded to openly confess their faith andbrutally forced to renounce it. Only then will the hardship and adversistart, the time I have promised My Own I will shorten .... And then Myadversary's fury will become obvious, for people will lose their inhibitions,nothing will hold them back because they will be incited by Satan andshall completely submit to his will. Let it be said that there is not muchtime until this battle of faith, but that it will be preceded by an immense

crisis on earth which, however, will come from a different source .... It isMy will that it shall fall upon people so that they can already prove oreven strengthen their faith. Precisely this crisis, which will be inflicted onhumani through a natural disaster of huge proportions, will be used bymany people as a reason to already take action against the faith, becausenow more than ever they will doubt a God and Creator Who Himselfdestroys what He has created. However, anyone who knows the truth willalso have a correct explanation for everything, and then he can inform hisfellow human beings of this truth too. en the ensuing battle of faith caneven result in a strong faith in them, which subsequently will withstand allthe threats the believers will be exposed to.

However, the fact that most people will no longer have a living faithis My adversary's doing, who therefore will not cease to work againstMe and the truth, and he will be far more successful with people thanthe representatives of the pure truth, the true representatives of Christ'steaching .... For they rarely will be believed, but My adversary can offerpeople what he wants .... it will be accepted. And that is why it will alreadyhave to be clarified in advance, everyone will have to openly and freelydeclare whether they are for or against Me .... Everyone will have to makethis decision within himself during the coming time of need which comesupon earth due to My will, for when I speak through the forces of natureeveryone will have to choose: to call upon Me for help or to entirely isolatehimself from Me .... which is the same as turning to My adversary ....Following this, however, the decision has to be taken again publicly: whenit will be demanded of you humans in the last battle of faith on this earthto testi of Me in Jesus Christ or to deny Me ....

But then you, who were instructed in the truth by Me Myself, will knowthat the end has come .... en you will know that I will shorten the daysfor the sake of My Own, that I will come Myself to help them and releasethem from their suffering .... that I will gather them from this earth andtake them to a place of peace, before I carry out the work of destruction,which will mean the end of all created beings on this earth ....

If only you would believe what I have announced to you time and again ....the conditions on earth should prove My adversary's rage to you already,because he knows that he is running out of time. And the fact that he is

16

raging and the earth is populated by his own kind can be recognised by allof you and should make you think. Every day is still a blessing for people,for even the most depraved person still has the opportuni to change andgain faith in Me before the end .... because I will try everything to stillsnatch souls from My adversary before the end. And anyone with faithin Me will be blessed, but the unbelievers will have to share the fate ofhim whom they followed voluntarily .... And you will not go short, evenif everything you need to live will be taken away from you .... As soon asyou believe that I Myself will take care of you, who are persecuted for Myname's sake, My adversary's measures need not frighten you .... For whatthey take away from you, you will receive from Me again, although in adifferent form, but you will not need to starve for I Myself will satis yourhunger .... For `behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do theyreap, nor gather into barns; yet your Heavenly Father feedeth them ....'

Remember these Words, remember that He Who created everything willtruly also be able to maintain what He has created .... and that He willsurely do so when His Own suffer adversi . But the time will come whenpeople will try to force you with most brutal measures to forsake your faith.... and anyone of weak faith will not be able to endure these measures ....Severe tests of faith will be imposed on you, but I want to prepare youprecisely for this time, then you will be able to be a shining example toyour fellow human beings, you will be able to demonstrate to them what afirm faith can accomplish: that you live despite the fact that everything youneed to live will have been taken away from you ....

Seek always only the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and every-thing else will be added to you. And this promise will then be visiblyfulfilled on My Own, on those who stand up for Me and My name beforethe world, who do not fear the earthly power because they feel safe underMy protection. And only then will it become evident who has a living faith,and there will only be few. en the structures which were built on sand.... which were not built on the rock of faith on which I built My church,will collapse too .... It will be a difficult time which no-one would be ableto survive had I not conveyed the truth to earth in advance, which is anexplanation of everything and which alone can result in a strong faith ....But error will not give anyone the strength to persevere, and only where

17

there is love, can strength of faith also be found.

An extraordinary person will offer himself as a visible cover to My ad-versary, and this person will then instigate the last conflict on earth. Payattention to this and you will know that the hour of the end is very near.... But also pay attention to My messengers from above who will appearat the same time in order to guide you with their light, which you shouldfollow .... Pay attention to all of those who spiritedly announce My Wordand join them, so that the small flock will stay together, so that they canconstantly get light and their faith can steadily grow stronger .... But to allthese I promise My protection, My Fatherly care and My blessing ....

ey need not fear to fall prey to this brutal power, for I Myself will cometo get them as soon as My adversary goes too far, as soon as even My Ownare threatened by grave danger .... For this reason I will shorten the days, sothat My Own will be able to endure and not weaken in view of the measuresof persecution. But since I can still see a possibili to save individual soulsI will also hold My hands protectively over those who represent Me beforethe world, so that the former can gain strength from them, so that a Powerwill be recognised which is stronger than earthly power .... And therefore Iwill also take extraordinary care of My Own, and despite adverse measuresthey will survive physically and spiritually .... And all this will happen soon.... What you cannot suspect today will happen then, but that is why alreadyI draw your attention to it, and you, who are taught by Me, also know whyit will happen ....

e spiritual hardship on earth is evident to you as well, and by the signsof the time you will be able to identi the time on the world's clock .... Butonce this battle of faith flares up you need only expect a very short time,because everything will take place especially fast .... For the man chosenby My adversary as cover will not have a long life-span, and his regimeon earth will not last long. He will be recognisable by his supernaturalabilities, for he will be exceptionally endowed by My adversary, and that iswhy he will work for him and his plans. And even if the whole world payshomage to him, you will recognise and see through him.

But then you will have to be very careful and should not deliberatelyendanger yourselves due to excessive zeal .... en you will have to be ascunning as serpents and as gentle as doves .... But when the decision is

18

demanded of you, then you must stand your ground and firmly trust in Meand My help .... for no matter how powerful people are, they cannot matchMy might and a wisp of breath from Me would suffice to destroy them ....And thus I will also call a stop to it when the hour has come. I will bringthose to Me who are in utmost earthly distress but place the oppressorsthemselves into chains, for the time will be up, a period of redemption willcome to an end and a new era will start so that the deliverance of all spiritscan continue ....

Amen

Jesus'forerunner at the end ....

Someone amongst you will emerge who shall bear witness of My comingin the clouds. And when you hear him you will know that the end is near.He is one of the purest, he is full of love and kindness and therefore closelyunited with Me, he is a comforter and friend to you humans, a liberatorfrom emotional distress. He is spiritually illuminated and knows about theLast Judgment, and therefore he will warn and admonish people in Myname. He will fight for Me and My kingdom and be fully enlightened. Andthus he will also know where the pure truth is represented. Consequentlyhe will emerge from amongst those who receive My teaching from aboveand, due to his way of life, due to his love for his fellow human beings,he will also be taught from above, because he will still have to accomplisha final task .... to be My forerunner prior to My return. For the time isfulfilled, the predictions of the prophets are coming to pass and thus he,too, will have to appear. He will descend from the kingdom of light to earthfor My sake in order to announce Me to people who are suffering utmostadversi and distress.

He will bear witness of Me since his voice will be My voice and anyone wholistens to him, listens to Me. However, he will not stay with you humansfor long .... Until you recognise him he will indeed live in your midst, butMy adversary will persecute him and provoke people against him. He willpreach love but people will listen to him with hatred. ey will pursue andtry to kill him. But I will know how to protect him until his hour has come,

19

for he has to complete his mission, he has to prepare a path for Me, he hasto uphold the flock of My children and inform them that the Lord's returnis at hand.

And once he appears, not much time will be le . His words will igniteand arouse the lazy and undecided from their sleep, for he will only be amouthpiece for Me, through him I want to openly express Myself just onemore time. And once again he will be a voice that cries in the wilderness,who will only return because I will need a strong worker in the end, aworker from above to help humani . Yet the world will hate him andspare no means to eliminate him, even though he will only speak and dogood. But the world will have descended into darkness and all lights willhave gone out .... Consequently, a bright light will appear on earth and allbearers of light will fetch oil for themselves to brighten their own lightsagain, which worldly people will endeavour to extinguish. And all peopleof true faith will recognise him as the forerunner of My return, and theywill know that the time is fulfilled when I can be expected and with Me theLast Judgment .... ey will take his words to heart because they sense thatit is I, Who speaks through him, and that I announce My coming throughhim, who is My messenger as destined since eterni .

But he will have a difficult time with people who worship the world andreject his admonitions and warnings, yet who will not shy away from tryingto kill him in spite of the fact that he will prove himself helpful towards allpeople and many will also accept his help. e former will want to preventhim from completing his mission but I will not recall him into My kingdomuntil he has prepared the path for Me, until he has proclaimed My comingto all who long to behold Me and whose faith he has strengthened, becausehe will only proclaim what he receives from Me through the inner Word,through the remarkable working of the spirit within himself ....

You all shall be witnesses of My power and glory, you shall live to see Myreturn, partly in spirit and partly in the flesh, for the time is coming to anend and it will come to pass as I have always and constantly proclaimed.You shall experience My return and bear witness of it in the paradise ofthe new earth .... For I will move those who remain faithful to Me onto thenew earth, where they shall also proclaim My Word as they do now on Myinstruction .... I know who is suitable to do so and know full well how toprotect My servants from the destruction, I will endow My disciples of thelast days with extraordinary strength to enable them to successfully attendto their office, so that they will courageously fight all those who are hostileto Me and who also extend their hatred to My Own. And not one of themwill pass away from earth until his mission has been accomplished. e laston this earth, however, shall be the first on the new earth, where their taskwill be the same .... To proclaim My Word, albeit in a different manner,for it will be gladly and longingly accepted, it will be recognised for whatit is .... as the Father's evidence of love, Who wants to give pleasure to Hischildren.

ey will all recognise My voice when I speak through you to people. Forthey will have all passed their ordeal on this earth and remained faithful toMe. Hence their reward will also be substantial and pleasing, a harmoniouslife in the paradise of the new earth, which no person can yet imagine butwhich is granted to them so that My might and glory will manifest itself.And I Myself will be in the midst of them .... I will come in the clouds tobring them home and stay with them, because due to their demonstratedloyal during the last battle of faith they will have become My children.For they will fearlessly confess Me, they will testi of Me without havingseen Me. For this reason they will also be allowed to see Me in full glorybefore the very end. And what I proclaim will fulfil itself .... I will return,and you will live to see it ....

You do not yet believe that the time is so close at hand, that you will have to

21

experience the horrors of the last days, and that this earth will be destroyedwith My permission. You do not yet believe that the proclamations by seersand prophets concern the present time and that you humans of this time willexperience significant things which no person can imagine, for this earthhas never yet exhibited such. But humani will soon watch the events withhorror and bewilderment which will make an early disintegration of earthbelievable, and then it will rapidly progress towards the ultimate end. YetMy chosen people will survive the time because it is My will, and becauseeven this time shall have its witnesses who will be selected to speak ofit, so that My might and glory will become evident amongst the humangeneration's descendants on the new earth. For it will have to be preservedas tradition for the descendants, because even then a time will come againwhen sin will be prevalent and I will be ignored. en their testimony shallwarn and remind people what fate will await those who completely forgetabout Me .... en they shall be told about the downfall of the old earthand the Last Judgment which decided over life and death, over happinessand damnation ....

Rapture ....

Only a small flock will be able to see Me in all My glory at the end ofthe earth, and this flock will be li ed to heaven before their fellow humanbeings'eyes, who face spiritual and physical death. For as soon as theformer have le the earth it will fall prey to destruction, which means thateverything that lives in, on and above the earth will be consumed by flameswhich burst through the earth and do not spare a single work of creation.Yet My Own will not be affected by this work of destruction, for I will takethem away first, and the sight of their sudden departure will horri people,for My Own will disappear to heaven before their very eyes. But only MyOwn will be able to see Me Myself when I arrive in all splendour andglory. For the others I will remain invisible, because no one enslaved byMy adversary will ever behold Me in My glory. But by the time they regaintheir senses a er the supernatural phenomenon of rapture, their end will

e event of the rapture is not comprehensible to people of this earth, forsomething entirely unlawful will take place, something unnatural, whichwill remain unbelievable to all those who do not believe in Me and do notknow My eternal plan of Salvation .... And yet it will happen as I announceit to you .... I will move the bodies of living human beings to a place of peacein an instant, but they themselves will consciously experience this eventand be full of joy and praise for Me .... For they will have passed the test offaith, then they shall receive the reward for their love and faith in Me, and Iwill open paradise for them ....

Destruction of earth is the result of experiments ....

e final work of the earth's destruction will be triggered by you humansyourselves. And I will not stop you, because I also consider the spiritualsubstance which, as a result of this work of destruction, will be liberatedfrom matter and able to continue its process of development in new formson the new earth. You have been informed of this several times alreadyand yet have little belief, for the whole event is simply unimaginable toyou. Nevertheless, it is the conclusion of a period of development whichwill lead to a new period, so that the work of return can once againsuccessfully proceed in lawful order, which was no longer evident beforethe destruction of the old earth. My adversary completes his last satanicwork by influencing people to do something which he has no power to dohimself: to destroy works of creation .... in the belief to thereby release theconstrained spirits and take control of them. He manipulates people andinduces them to carry out all kinds of experiments which, however, will failwith devastating effect due to peoples'lack of knowledge. For people dareto experiment without having explored the outcome .... they will unleash

23

forces they cannot control and consequently are doomed to die. And withthem the creation work earth, too, will be subject to enormous destructions.... e entire earth's surface will totally change, all works of creation onearth will fall prey to destruction, the effects will penetrate to the core ofthe earth, and thus one can speak of a destruction of enormous proportionsalthough people themselves will not be able to observe it, apart from thesmall flock which I will lead away from earth beforehand into a realm ofpeace.

I Myself would never allow such destruction if thereby I would not gainnew opportunities of salvation for the still constrained spiritual substance,which already languishes for an infinitely long time in hardest matter .... Yetcontinued development would also be possible for this spiritual substanceif people would not reverse the lawful order and always just live up to theirhelpful task on earth .... But people no longer live within divine order, andtherefore My adversary exerts great influence over them and impels themto start a process in the hope to gain the return of the constrained spiritsto him. And I will not stop him, since it still depends on every person'sown free will to comply with My adversary's inducement .... Nevertheless,regardless of what people do, I will always know how to utilise the effectsof their actions correctly. For even the world of darkness is subject to Meand My might, and it will have to serve Me while at the same time takepart in My work of return, if only unconsciously. But I know the directionof humani 's will since eterni and was able to incorporate it in My planof Salvation .... I know when the moment in time has come when spiritualprogress can no longer be expected ....

I also know when the time has come to liberate the constrained spiritualsubstances, and therefore will not prevent people's activi when they setan enormous work of destruction into motion due to their misguided will,which aims for My adversary, and thus people are his willing instruments.For he himself is unable to destroy any work of creation, he cannot dissolveany kind of matter and all power over the spirits has been taken away fromhim. is is why he tries to regain it, and people who belong to him con-tribute themselves towards the disintegration of matter .... at first throughcountless experiments which then take on proportions which matter canno longer withstand .... But I allow the spirits captivated therein to be set

24

free, if only at the expense of humani , which itself has reached a spirituallow that requires a new banishment into matter .... And irrespective ofwhat My adversary and the people who belong to him will undertake ....in the final analysis it will nevertheless serve the progress of the spiritualsubstances again, which is meant to reach perfection one day. ereforeMy plan of Salvation will surely be implemented, as it is proclaimed inWord and Scripture ....

`Judging'the souls at the end ....

e hour of reckoning will come, the hour when every person will haveto justi himself before his Judge .... For order will have to be restoredagain sooner or later and everyone who has transgressed this eternal orderwill have to be answerable .... e sentence will be passed in accordancewith justice .... Every soul will experience the fate it has prepared for itself;the spiritual essence, which has taken the path through the creations, willbe moved to where it belongs in relation to its degree of maturi .... theold creation will be dissolved, i.e. all forms will be reshaped into differentkinds of works of creation, and the unredeemed spiritual substance will beplaced into these forms either to re-start or to continue the path of salvation,depending on its degree of maturi . At present you humans still do as youwant and please, and you are not prevented from doing so, irrespective ofhow God-opposing your actions are .... But the end will come soon, and youwill no longer be able to do as you want, because the time will have passedwhen you were able to work for your soul's salvation. For you will not haveused the time in accordance with God's will but strengthened your soul'scover even more and thereby will have prepared your own fate by becomingincreasingly enslaved by matter, and thus you will become matter againyourselves, which you had already long overcome. Yet the law of eternalorder will have to be fulfilled again one day. Every spiritual essence, whichlived on earth as a human being, will have to receive new forms, sincehigher development has to continue where it was interrupted .... And thespiritual essence which had failed in its embodiment as a human being has

25

corresponds to the human being's own free will, which he had misused onearth .... with the result that his soul will gain banishment into matter, itwill be dissolved again and will have to take the infinitely long path throughthe creations until it once again enters the stage of a human being ....

One day it will achieve the final goal and leave every external shape behind,but it extends or shortens its own time until it can finally enter the kingdomof light in a redeemed state. And although God is inconceivably mercifuland patient and in His love constantly tries to encourage people to makethe right decision of will .... one day the time will come to an end andthen His righteousness will come to the fore, and He will re-establish theold order which, however, will also signi a `judgement of the soul'.... atransfer into the external form which corresponds to its state of maturi ....And, at the same time, this `judgment'is the end of an earth- or salvation-period .... It will necessitate a destruction of all works of creation on earthwhich shelter unredeemed spiritual substance that travels along its processof development in a state of compulsion, as well as people who did not usetheir earthly existence to progress in their development. ey, too, will be`judged'.... that is, according to their spiritual maturi they will be placedinto hard matter again .... You humans are now facing the end of this oldearth, whether this seems credible to you or not .... Time and again yourattention will be drawn to this fact in order to improve yourselves beforethe event and to enter the law of eternal order, which only requires a life oflove, for love is a divine principle which you, too, as His living creations,will have to acquire if divine order is to be observed.

You are constantly admonished by seers and prophets, who proclaim thisnear end to you, to consider your real purpose of earthly life, so that theend will not catch you unawares and you will have to step before God'sjudgment seat laden with sin if you have done nothing to fully mature inthe final form .... as a human being, even if you are not yet released fromyour original sin by having taken this guilt under the cross and prayed toJesus Christ for redemption from it .... Only he can take all guilt from you,and then you can step before God's judgment seat free of guilt, and you willnot have to fear the Last Judgment, then you will be able to exchange your

26

stay on earth with the spiritual kingdom, which is your true home .... Youwill be able to enter the kingdom of the blissful spirits and neither have tofear the end of the old earth nor new banishment, for the eternal God isnot a strict but a righteous Judge, Who will give to you all in accordancewith your own will ....

New banishment of the spirits ....Salvation in one era ....

e most severe punishment for any spiritual being that has already livedembodied as a human being on earth, is to be placed into hardest matter.Countless creations are proof that untold beings have to start their processof development again. As long as there are spirits in need of development,material creations will also exist to serve as carriers for the spiritual sub-stance and, due to their usefulness and different external forms, dependingon their shape and more or less hard substance, will enable it to develop.As long as these creations do not cease to exist the spirit is not yet releasedeither.

It is possible for the spirit to evolve from hardest matter to a human beingin the course of one period of Salvation. is opportuni is available.... But it requires the surrender of resistance within a specific length oftime, which is just as possible but very o en fails due to the spiritualsubstances'obstinacy which is so God-opposing at first, that an eternican pass until its resistance is broken or has lessened. And this resistanceis demonstrated by creations which, to the human eye, appear to remainunchanged, o en throughout an infinitely long time .... creations, whicheffectively form the earth's crust, which have to be forcefully dissolvedthrough divine will if the spirits are to be provided with an opportunifor higher development. Consequently, one period of Salvation does notsuffice for this spiritual substance.

Nevertheless, at the end of this era it can sense the turmoil in the universeand then will surge towards a new transformation of its own accord. eresistance to God will decrease because it senses God's enormous strength

27

and might, and God will take its needs into account and at the end of anera will dissolve all creations. is signifies a turning point for the spiritualsubstances which had been bound in inactivi within the earth throughan eterni . e spiritual substance will now be willing to be of serviceand will subsequently be placed into an external form which, at first, willonly permit minimal activi . us the process of development above earthbegins and will, with certain , also lead to the embodiment as a humanbeing, albeit only a er a long period of time.

You cannot truly imagine in what way the Last Judgment will proceed;suffice it to know, that it is only a short action where everything will fallprey to its huge power of destruction, and that you will then have nomore time to change your thoughts and intentions, because everythingwill happen rapidly and leave you no time to think .... You will be judgedat a moment's notice, i.e. whether you will enter into life or death withina very short time .... ose of you who remain loyal to Me until theend will be carried away, the others will be devoured by the earth, whichdenotes their souls'new banishment into hard matter. Only people whostill have a small glimmer of faith in God will have the strength to callupon Me in the last moment and still be saved by being spared the fate ofa new banishment, albeit they will not belong to the flock of the raptured.Nevertheless, their share will be an easier fate, since they will be grantedanother embodiment as human being in which they should and will beable to prove themselves because the time on the new earth will be freefrom the adversary's temptations, who will be constrained for a long time,as it is written ....

28

And that is an exceptional act of grace which, however, will only be takenup by a few, for humani is completely subject to My adversary at the end,and a person will only seldom detach himself from his restraints in view ofthe Last Judgment .... which will be dreadful. For all human beings face anappalling physical death, yet before they can spend much thought on it, ithas already happened .... And My Own will witness this event, because Iwant them to get to know My might and glory, My righteousness and Mywrath towards the sinners and testi to it as long as they live. For they willbecome the root of the human race on the new earth .... e event of therapture is equally unimaginable because it happens in a way that defies alllaws, and never before has it been experienced on earth that human beingswere li ed up and taken away in their living bodies .... that I move themunharmed into a divinely beautiful region, from where they will then bebrought back to the new earth, as soon as it is created in accordance withMy Will.

I will not require time for this, because all spiritual substances are justwaiting to be placed into works of creation which correspond to their degreeof maturi in order to continue their path of development .... Human eyesdo not see the act of creating the new earth, therefore it is not necessary toobserve a specific duration of time for the sake of people .... And the peoplewho are raptured lack all sense of time, so that they are unable to ascertainwhat time it takes to create the new earth .... Yet My might is unlimited andwill reveal itself in the formation of the new earth, for this will show newcreations which you humans cannot imagine but which will highly delightyou, who may experience this earth .... It is truly a paradise on earth .... ForMy Own remained loyal to Me during the battle of faith and shall receivetheir reward for their loyal .... All human beings could experience thishappiness if only you would use the short time until the end well. But youdo not believe and don't do anything to improve your soul's maturi , andtherefore everyone will receive the reward he deserves .... a blissfully happylife in the paradise of the new earth or new banishment in the creationstherein, so that a er an infinitely long time you may once again live as ahuman being on earth for the purpose of a final test ....

For in order to survivethis final work of destruction it is necessary to have utmost faith in Me inJesus Christ as well as utmost devotion to Me .... thus it requires a completeseparation from My adversary .... it necessitates the state of freedom whichwas purchased for humani by Jesus with His death on the cross .... Onlya being redeemed by His blood can inhabit the new earth where Satan hasno more power; where I Myself can dwell amongst My Own because theiroriginal state has been re-established ....

Admittedly, salvation through Jesus Christ can be experienced by peoplecalled away by Me from this earth prior to the final end .... ey, too, willbe blissfully happy inhabitants in My kingdom where no evil power canharm or oppress them anymore, precisely because they are `redeemed'fromit .... Yet the people who shall inhabit the new earth will live in the samebliss, in complete freedom, full of light and strength, but nevertheless inearthly spheres, because they shall become the root of the new humanrace, because they shall help the following generation towards completeredemption, which has to live on earth until everything is completelyspiritualised. Being redeemed themselves, the first human beings on thenew earth are able to exert an extraordinary beneficial effect on theirdescendants as well as on the spiritual substances surrounding them andwhich are still constrained in the creations of the new earth. us thisspiritual substance will be able to cover its process of development faster....

For the time when My adversary is still bound in chains has to be used well.... while he has no access to the people on earth, since the strength andlight of the `redeemed'is so strong that it prevents his every approach topeople ....

influence to draw people into the abyss, so will the influence of the Divinepredominate on earth now .... everything will strive towards ascent andachieve it extremely easily because no adverse power can prevent it .... eredeemed human beings will bring forth new people who are full of love,thus the divine principle is dominant in them, enabling them to maturefully within a very short time in order to enter My kingdom of light a ertheir earthly life comes to an end ....

And I will let a new humangeneration arise, which will emerge from people who are blessed by Me,who will have completed their spiritual development with love and loyalto Me, who will have attained a degree of maturi which permits exaltedspiritual care, so that the new human generation will have every guaranteeto achieve the highest possible spiritual perfection and the bound spirits,too, will be able to achieve maturi quickly, due to the exceptionally goodinfluence exerted by people on all nearby creations ....

End Prophecies ....Are you My Own? ....

Anyone who regards himself as one of My Own also knows that the lastdays have started, that humani is facing a spiritual and earthly turningpoint. For My Own are informed by the spirit, My Own can be spokento by the spirit and hear My voice, either directly or in their thoughts ....And they also faithfully accept My Word which is given to them by Mymessengers and has originated from Me .... us My Own know what timethey live in, they know that the last hour of the world's clock will strikesoon, that night will begin to engulf countless people on this earth and thata new day will begin to dawn for others, for the few who will remain true toMe until the end, who belong to My small flock .... which I call `My Own'.And they still have a task on earth: to inform their fellow human beingsof what earth can expect .... this will not be easy, for despite the fact thatMy Own are convinced of the truthfulness of My Word .... thus also of theproclamations about the end and the Judgment .... fellow human beingswill not believe them and indignantly turn away when the last days arementioned to them. Nevertheless, time and again they should try to pointout that My announced end will not be far away.

And as confirmation of this you should also draw their attention to thenatural disaster which will put the whole world into turmoil beforehand.... And you should also tell them that the subsequent end can be expectedwith the same certain , for through this natural disaster I still want to givepeople a final warning, a final sign, to make it easier for them to believewhat you tell them .... Anyone who is enlightened himself should also letthe light shine into the darkness .... Anyone who believes in Me and MyWord himself should also try to show his fellow human beings the wayto faith, and do so kindly so as not to arouse resistance .... And thereforethe natural disaster will not keep you waiting for very long, since it isalso intended to contribute towards preparing people for the end .... You

33

should also mention the natural disaster, My intervention, which everyperson will be able to take notice of, for it will be of enormous proportionsand cannot be dismissed as an everyday occurrence .... us you shouldconstantly point to this event and not be afraid to speak about it openly, forit will come with absolute certain .... And anyone who has heard about itfrom you will also find it easier to believe in the announced end. us MyOwn shall be capable workers for Me, even if their work merely consists ofspeaking about the forthcoming events ....

en they will already render Me an immense service, for I want peopleto know but can only give them the information through a human mouth,which they then may or may not believe, but at least they will have heardof it and will also remember it when the day comes that the whole worldwill hold its breath in view of the natural catastrophe which will bringoverwhelming suffering to the people who experience it .... Do not fearthat you spread misguided prophesies but speak frankly and openly that IMyself conveyed them to you and that you firmly believe in My Words ....

ey will not be able to call you liars, for sooner than they think they willget the confirmation. Yet people should use this knowledge to shed theirdoubts in regards to the proclamations of the end .... With that, much willalready have been achieved, because then they can prepare themselves andthus be saved from the abyss ....

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 other

34

words, 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.
