B.D. 2033 17.8.1941
There are just a few humans who turn their attention to the
signs of time, yet these few are aware that the time which
Jesus Christ had announced now has come. For it is being
fulfilled the way it is written and they perceive that every time
period is predetermined from eternity …. that there is no
doubt a terrible catastrophe about to come upon the earth ….
the love of God is boundless and so is His mercy and
whatever comes upon the earth is merely based on His love.
For without these happenings mankind would be doomed.
Yes, mankind cannot and does not want to believe for it does
not recognize God anymore, it laughs and scoffs where it
should [in fact] think things over and thus remains on the
path which leads to one’s ruin. And the hour will appear
where the distress will be indescribably grim, where the
elements of nature will rage and cause people to be incapable
to think and act. Yet there is no other possibility to make
9
people feel their impotence, there’s no means that could,
without such suffering, get mankind to turn to God and, if it
is not to be lost altogether, it will have to take upon
themselves those happenings which are predestined and will
take place the way the Lord has announced.
Amen
10
without a trace on any one person and there will be many
signs trying to wake up man from the lethargy of the spirit
and to draw his attention to a visible intervention of an
eternal divinity.
11
should be everyone’s concern. For the time of which is
written in word and scriptures is at hand ….
Amen
But few people realize the seriousness of the time and hence
the coming can be made plausible to merely a few. As long as
they just strive for the well-being of their body they will
certainly pay attention to just the happenings related to it and
they cannot and will not understand a change of world events
caused by spiritual urgency. For spiritual experiences are
strange to them and any references towards it, they consider
to be insignificant and unimportant, if not wrong. To
announce the coming happenings to them now will have little
success and yet, they too, are to be warned so that no
completely unsuspecting one will live to see the day. For what
they do not want to believe as yet can all of a sudden appear
credible to them and may cause to direct their mind towards
God and to call upon Him in distress.
12
But nonetheless he/she cannot be helped in any other way
than that there be made mention of the great radical change
even though he/she is not fully capable or willing to take
things in. For even the certainty of a fulfillment of the
prophecy already can suddenly lead a person to a realization.
13
or without purpose and it is the spiritual development that is
the final purpose of the earthly life …. Amen

matter] which you are irrevocably threatened with at the
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 cannot influence you against your will. I therefore talk
to you through My messengers and make you aware of the
near end, I remind you to keep thinking of your earthly
purpose. I keep telling you over and over my divine teaching
of love and all of you could believe if you just had an earnest
will to achieve your earthly purpose of life. But you live a
carefree life without any serious thought because you don’t
believe in an afterlife of the soul. But I cannot do more than
passing on the truth about your being and your destiny by
Myself …. I cannot do more than directly talk to you by My
messengers and to explain everything as comprehensible to
you to the point where you can truly believe. But you don’t
want to and you can’t be forced to believe My words from on
high. Yet you ought to pay attention to every world event, 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 you should meditate about the meaning and
purpose of the earthly life …. You then would recognize the
condition of man on your own and consider it plausible, this
condition cannot remain like this; a change is due to occur
and then attention will be paid to My word from on high.
Yet, for obtaining faith the good will is required, for I help
everyone who’d like to rise from the depths, who directs his
thoughts towards Me in striving for recognition of the right
and to detest the wrong ….
15
except I give it to you by means of the direct address and you
can believe it – it’s the great spiritual need which causes Me
to grant help to you people on earth in the way that I direct
the truth towards you, which is foreign to you, because My
opponent is doing and has been doing everything to increase
the darkness upon you people, that you don’t see anything
properly anymore. To also prevent you from recognizing the
voice of your God and Father who wants to help and bring
the light to you prior to the coming of the end.
16
man. All you see are the effects in earthly respect but you
cannot remotely imagine the necessity on the one hand as
well as the consequences in spiritual relation on the other.
Your judging is always based on human feelings and this lets
you even the love of God appear to be as a cruelty. Yet you’re
not aware of the painful condition the souls are to expect
once when all the pain on earth is kept away from them by
Me and I seemingly just bestow My love upon them. This, My
love, is so great that I would like to spare My creatures from
the sorrows in the beyond and thus let them suffer before in
a condition which won’t let them feel this sorrow so much.
And yet, you don’t recognize My love and you feel like
quarreling with Me. You live in a world where sensual
pleasure lets you find a certain satisfaction, yet in the other
world you will, if found standing on insight, strive for a
contact with Me. However, prior to be able to unite with Me
you’ll have to have detached every tie with matter. But you’re
still very far away from it because matter still keeps you
trapped and, in fact, to the point where you still find it
desirable. And therefore I destroy for you by force that which
is a hindrance to a far greater happiness. I want to shorten the
path on earth for you which you still have to walk in the form
[body], I want you to learn to despise matter which is nothing
but a hindrance for you …. and you don’t recognize My love
…. You are still too stubborn and don’t submit to the divine
will, which truly considers just the way that is useful for your
soul ….
17
them …. Only this way you ought to learn how to look at the
world events around you that should be more a proof of My
love toward you than an act of cruelty. Resist the thoughts
that let you doubt My love, because it is merely love letting
Me act like this, letting it look like you are the sufferers. On
your own you are too weak and you don’t desire the strength
that would let you overcome matter, and thus I look after
your need and clear the path of the obstacle of your higher
development. I take away from you every earthly possession
for the sake of letting you flee to Me by just this physical
need and you thus seek a close touch to Me and then My
endless love takes a hold of you, and My endless love helps
you to overcome. However, unless you have entrusted
yourselves to Me the loss of your earthly possession will give
you a sense of hurt and thus your condition is still not free,
you’re still attached to matter too much and you don’t
recognize Me and My love enough. And you’re even inclined
to deny Me altogether because you look at all the happenings
from the earthly point of view and don’t consider how much,
spiritually, there exists the necessity for not letting you perish.

will descend upon people with elemental force, nobody will
be prepared unless combined with God before, and there will
be a panic that only God himself will be able to turn away
again if fervently asked for.
20
God’s forbearance has postponed this event again and again
but, finally, His prophecy is going to be fulfilled …. For the
time has come where only greatest weakness of will and
absence of faith can bring about this catastrophe. The time is
near which the Lord has announced by His word, at the time
of His earthly walk, pointing out to man the time of breaking
away from God. For His word is eternal truth and will come
true, down to the last letter …. Amen
21
no other way to achieve this; just the most severe distress
makes them take the path to Me and just the most bitter
affliction is yet capable to change mankind.
But My spirit will be with all those who are faithful to Me.
They will recognize Me in all the happenings and in faith
expect My help …. And they will speak on My behalf and
they will attempt to present to the neighbors the wrong of
their life and to refer them to Me. And then I will also
remember their hearts according to their attitude towards Me.
Wherever in faith a thought rises up to Me there I will send
comfort and help. I will bestow My love upon all those who
acknowledge their wrong and now are calling upon Me,
begging me. For I love My creatures and I just want their
salvation from the utmost danger …. from a danger that is far
more intense than the earthly sorrow coming upon them.
And I will imbue with My spirit all those who are willing to
serve Me so that they are able to comply with their task and
won’t be wavering in their faith when the time of affliction
will have arrived …. Amen

biggest interest which has a tremendous detrimental effect,
spiritually. Therefore, everyday is being lived in vain when
earthly interests are being strived for.
23
religious….but, rather, they consider everything to be correct
that is evidently referable to the influence of the adversary.
And that’s also why God asserts His influence, that is, His
working towards such a spiritual decline will be so evident
that whoever wants to recognize it will be able to do so.
Because He claims all the power….He renders people
powerless, He lets them feel their inability on their own
towards the intervention of God. They’ll have to let it be
enacted upon them without being able to change the least bit
about it. And now they can just change their nature when
they’re ready for it. They will be given plenty of opportunities
to let the spark of love light up, to turn it into a flame and
now to become active in love accordingly …. If they don’t
notice this last possibility they then can’t be helped on earth
anymore; for those whose selfishness is too great will still not
recognize their actual destination as yet and they will fear for
their life and their possessions and, if possible, seek to replace
what they’ve lost. And thus the intervention of God was in
vain for them. They then are to bear the consequences of
their non-spiritual condition according to their wanting, for
they can’t be liberated from their selfishness by force ….
Amen
24
which is passed on to you by My servants. You reject what
does not seem to be acceptable to you and which is actually
inevitable according to the determination from eternity. You
who are of a revived spirit, I initiate into My plan of salvation
to recognize the time of the end and also to point out to your
neighbors the end. I indicate to you the signs and, since the
beginning of this redemption epoch, I have predicted the
effects of the spiritual low in order to give you the possibility
to prepare yourselves so that the end may be a blessed one
for you.
25
play. And yet, I do not deviate from My plan of eternity and
keep announcing it over and over, of My appearance by
means of a catastrophe of nature of an extent the world has
never experienced yet. Why am I doing it?
Well, the time is pressing towards the end; people are going
through their lives lukewarmly and lazily. They don’t
comprehend the seriousness of time and that’s why they are
to be disturbed. I Myself will approach them, for in the great
need concerning the body when facing death, the thought of
the Creator 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 word and scripture. Surely a
countless number of people will lose their life and enter the
Kingdom of the beyond in an incomplete condition. Yet to
them I want to be a lenient judge and take into account their
last sacrifice they offer Me by their early death by offering
them the greatest possibility of maturing in the spiritual
kingdom and granting support to them in every way. Yet I
will irrevocably speak by means of nature and all of you will
be witnesses and be able to convince yourselves of the truth
of My word which comes pure and plain from up high;
because it is My will for you not to go unprepared through
something that is so colossal it might shake the thinking of all
who still believe a bit on a Creator and Preserver of heaven
and earth. But whoever is united with Me ought not doubt
My word for I express Myself by means of My servants on
earth and expect My word to be passed on and accepted as
plain truth; and every doubt be banned from the heart of My
people because it is I Myself who expresses Himself and will
never tolerate My word, interspersed by errors, be brought to
people of good will who want to serve Me and therefore are
26
hired as workers by Me into My vineyard for the last time
prior to the end. Amen
27
implausible to you as if a catastrophe might be due to hit the
earth, you just keep in mind there is nothing impossible for
God, everything can be made possible if God wills it to. And
the fact that God does want it is based on the behavior of
man himself, in the wrong attitude towards Him.
The more the world gets entangled into the wrong the more
it moves away from God and the more unloving is the acting
and thinking of people inclined to the world. And the
28
increased unlovingness also drives people to actions that
surpass all the previous happenings and so people draw the
intervention of God near themselves. People do not realize
the wrong of what they are doing anymore. The world
happening is directed into a track so that, earthly speaking,
there’s no way out to be found anymore. The thinking of
people is wrong and distant from the truth altogether, the
good is persecuted, evil is respected and thus the whole
divine order is knocked over which is bound to cause a
complete decline as a result. And thus the day that puts an
end to the chaos keeps getting closer and closer, for the
condition is so ruining for mankind that there is a stop set to
it by God.
And this end is close ahead, the end of the raging of people
against each other. The end of the struggle of the nations
which could never find the approval of God because it is a
fight about power which is not based on any noble motives.
Hate and the unlovingness of people have caused it, but
those haven’t learned anything in this fight; they have become
more unloving than ever and their hate has increased and
manages to achieve scandalous deeds which cannot be carried
out any worse. And God will put a stop to this hustle and
bustle in a way He will be recognized by it. He will let a
dreadful misery happen to mankind which cannot be turned
away by their own will. He will startle them and let them feel
their own impotence because the elements of nature will be
unleashed to the mercy of which people are left. And this day
won’t be long in coming. It will arrive so suddenly and
unexpectedly it will create sheer horror, it will be [last] just
hours and yet of so drastic significance that, afterwards,
everything will be changed and the disaster will sink in in due
29
time only when they will have realized the divine intervention
in its whole extent. For God wants to reveal Himself by His
intervening, He will show them that He 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
the unspeakable misery to a close.
30
B.D. 3318 4.+5.11.44
The voice of God will sound loudly and insistently and the
fate of the nations will be decided upon for God Himself will,
by means of the powers of nature, pronounce the decision.
And nobody will be able to oppose His judgment for it will
be just and will strike those people who have caused great
misery and who don’t want to acknowledge their wrong. It
will be an exceedingly sad event and countless people will
loose their lives, and the event is also unstoppable because
people cannot be shaken by anything that human will
manages to accomplish and will therefore have to be
disturbed by an event which cannot be turned away or
terminated by human will, and it will for this reason cause
great horror because everyone will visualize death facing them
and will have to get ready for the transitory end. And this
event is moving closer and closer, day by day passes by
without the changing of mankind, and the forbearance of
God keeps on waiting in order to still grant an opportunity to
mankind to change until His voice will sound.
But now the world event, too, is turning towards its end
because the natural phenomenon is preparing itself, because
the interior of the earth is turning into a turmoil and is just
waiting for the moment where God grants the natural powers
freedom to unleash. For people find no end to it; that’s why
God intervenes and puts a stop to it. Bad happenings are
terminated but even worse ones will be their consequences,
for people are in terrible distress and are at a great loss in
31
facing the natural powers. They can’t either flee nor halt or
reduce their [the power’s] raging, they are at their mercy and
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 guilty, humbly
awaiting His judgment in recognition of their sinfulness. And
God will certainly look after those few in the hours of
destruction which divine will is going to call for because
there’s no other way for the spiritual need to be eliminated
and the earthly misery, caused by human will, is continuously
increased. And because people are finding no end to it, God
establishes the end of a battle involving the whole earth. And
there will be a cry of horror rebounding from across the earth
leaving people petrified, for the extent of the catastrophe
leaves everybody prick up their ears and trembling for a
[possible] repetition. And this is the intention of God for the
whole humanity to take part of it, to listen to His judgment,
to recognize the guilty ones and [also] God’s righteousness.
Because every fighting party still believes to be in the right;
power alone and not the right is still being valued 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 of destruction is much more colossal so that He
may by that be recognized by them. For the spiritual, too, still
constrained, is indignant when torn away from the divine
order and feels this condition painfully; even though it
became free by human will it cannot enjoy its freedom for it
is not the freedom of completeness, but it’s because the
32
opportunity of an activity is taken away from the spiritual,
about which it is indignant. And it will get active wherever
there is an opportunity given to it. But, particularly, it will
combine with the still bound spiritual and try to entice it, to
likewise blast its shell, at which action it is supportive. By
that, it tries to force man to again act constructively for the
purpose of providing new possibilities to enter 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 a short time, God
withdraws His will and He lets the will of the spiritual have its
way which, however since it is still completely immature,
means a work of destruction of a monstrous extent. And
thus the human will is opposed by another will which
outdoes the first one, seemingly lacking every divine love 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 their battle of annihilation, it is possessed by
demons, and let themselves be driven by them. It is more and
more enslaved to the evil power and proves this by its works
and actions. And in order to put a stop to this decline God’s
will and omnipotence steps into obvious action. He shakes
the earth and mankind with it so that it may come to its
senses and change. For it is the last time that there can still be
used for the souls. And therefore God lets 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
33
rules over heaven and earth Who is your Creator and
Sustainer and Whose love you treat with disrespect. You on
your earth, take heed for it is about to happen …. Amen
34
obstacles come into being that cannot be overcome so easily.
And I thus take any possibility away from man to keep
fighting against each other. And thus the struggle of the
nations against each other comes to an abrupt halt. It won’t
be a decision, it won’t be a defeating of a power, but mankind
will see that their power is at a dead end and the divine
power needs to be accepted, which is recognizable most
distinctly at this outcome.
I will bring about the end and certainly, by that, punish the
guilty ones severely, for in their assumption of sure victory
they see themselves deceived, they see themselves weakened
and without success and are confronted by a great misery and
great poverty. And this end I have announced a long time ago
already so that you, who still doubt, have the truth of My
word proven by that. When the culmination of atrocity on
the part of humanity has been reached, I put an end to it so
that the world realizes by that there is a God in heaven who
punishes sin, which surfaces so obviously; that it realizes it is
not humans who determine the outcome, but it is I, 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 those who believe in My intervention and know
about My intention, whom I appoint to point it out to people
and whom I send as prophets amongst mankind. For it is to
be warned beforehand because I will never let such a
happening come upon mankind without informing them so
that they seriously consider the wellbeing of their souls and
prepare themselves. For nobody knows who will be affected
by it. My intervention will call for many victims everywhere
where it will take place. Amen
35
God intervenes by means of a natural catastrophe
36
spiritually. And in the case of God granting to keep one’s
earthly life, it is in fact merely an act of greatest mercy for
him/her to still find insight on earth, if possible. For the Lord
knows the hearts, He is able to look into the most hidden
corners, He notices every stirring and does not let perish that
which is still possible to be saved. And whoever in the midst
of horrors calls upon the Lord for help will experience a
wonderful calmness entering one’s heart; that one will
suddenly realize the worthlessness of the earthly life when not
accompanied by a strong faith, and this knowledge now lets
the one willingly pass on that which appeared desirable to the
one before. He/she willingly commits oneself to the Lord
and now receives from His hand …. life or death …. [In the
case of one’s death], however, he/she only passes on one’s
body in order to wake up to the real life in the beyond. And
thus his/her departure from this world is not the one’s ruin
but the resurrection to a better life.
37
B.D. 3151 6./7.6.1944
38
man before wanted to prove its power and proceed with all
atrocity against their neighbors, there God shows Himself in
His action; and towards Him all are weak and powerless and
their shameful raging falls back unto them who, without
mercy, want to bring nothing but destruction simply because
they feel powerful. It is a chaos that cannot be depicted any
worse when people let their feelings of hate and vengeance
show, and this will of destruction means a disintegrating of
that which the Lord God has created before it has reached its
destination. A steady destructive urge is typical to mankind of
the present time and this is a sign they are enslaved to the
power that tries to destroy everything in order to prevent the
spiritual within to draw closer to God.
39
to the chaos and thus are also part of the blame, unless they
recognize their wrong and turn away from it.
40
victim of this unknown star that causes noticeable
disturbances on the earth, which are unexplainable to you
though. There are people on earth who keep their cool no
matter what happens to them, but now they do loose their
cool because they see themselves as well as the whole earth
subject to natural forces which they are afraid of because they
cannot counteract them. It’s for the sake of those people “the
powers of heaven are moved ….” I want to particularly
address these people in order to get them to entrust them to a
God and Creator as they see themselves completely
powerless. Whatever human will arranges, and may it be ever
so dreadful in its effect, it doesn’t leave those kind of people
shaken, yet once they see themselves subject to the forces of
nature they become small and weak and that’s when there is a
possibility they take refuge in the One who is Lord of every
creation. That’s when there is a possibility they find their way
to Me in times of big trouble.
41
to you beforehand, because you people shall get to know My
will and My power, because you are to be aware that nothing
is allowed happen without My consent, and nothing that
happens is without aim and purpose. That, at the same time, I
keep those in mind who are devoid of all faith and whom I
still don’t want to lose to My adversary. And that’s why you
people ought to know what lies still ahead of you, so that you
will easier attain faith when, in the great trouble, you will
remember Him who is Lord over heaven and earth, over all
the stars and worlds and Whose will everything is subject to.
And you are to hear about it beforehand, which then can help
you to attain faith, as long as you are of good will. A disaster
will come upon you; however, it can be a blessing for
everyone of you if, by which he/she gains the life of one’s
own soul, even if, earthly speaking, death is one’s lot….if they
call upon Me in distress. Amen
42
and to be allowed to live on the new earth, a few only will
stand firm in the last battle on this earth.
Again and again, the signs of the end are being presented to
you humans and the last colossal sign is the great quake. The
way it will come about you were told already: A star leaves its
orbit and heads for the earth with gigantic speed. The reason
why you don’t know anything about it as yet is due to the
great distance this star will have to cover yet until it enters the
focus range of those who will notice it. But at that point the
excitement will be big because everybody recognizes the
danger the star “earth” now is 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 especially well, 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 and nobody should count on being
spared, for it is the last big reminding-call of God which He
still lets sound prior to the end in order to find faith for just
this end and a turn around of the few who are not quite
enslaved to the adversary altogether as yet.
43
tremendous effect and many people will lose their life in the
course of it. And no one will be able to play deaf, for it is too
enormous than that it couldn’t possibly touch everybody.
Only, the success is different, for people will partly revive
their weak faith and again return to God, but also partly lose
their weak faith and completely turn to the opponent which
will be expressed in chasing after material possessions, mostly
in an illegitimate manner. And there will be a great misery
amongst people. And that’s when the true faith will prove
itself, which means help for every person who faithfully
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 proper vineyard work for the sake of
helping all those who are still weak in the spirit and are to
experience a strengthening of their faith. For that’s when the
time of the last struggle of faith will follow that will still
demand a last decision of the believers; yet, whoever will be
steadfast until the end shall be blessed.[overjoyed] Amen
44
destruction of catastrophic extent will be executed and this
will bring a nameless misery upon mankind affected by it.
And this happens within a shortest time. For a little while yet
you people believe to be powerful and safe from all danger;
you only consider the world events around you and feel
secure and out of danger. However, you forget there’s a
power in command of everything, within, on and above the
earth. And since you forget Him Who governs everything
according to His will He will thus speak to you by means of
the forces of nature, and you will be bound to hear Him
because you cannot flee from His voice. You don’t heed the
instructions from above, the sorrows of the earth do not
change your thinking, yet the divine voice you cannot drown
because it is stronger than all the noise of the world. And
that’s why this is proclaimed to you beforehand so that you
may recognize the Lord when His voice will sound. Actually,
the world will not want to hear anything about it, it will try to
head off the big distress but continuously deny the divine
actions. And many will side with that opinion and thus only
see the misery but not actually the divine will in it that will
give whole areas up for destruction, for the sake of the
reformation of mankind.
45
one’s own country which had been flourishing before, but is
desolate and bare now and requires a big work force.
And this will be the time when man will deal with other
questions than up to now. For whoever survives this time
truly stands in the favor of God. The one has testified of the
fact of having joined God, in the severest affliction the one
sent one’s thoughts to the Father in heavens, and the Father
listened to the prayer of a person having gotten to know Him
and in severest trouble found the way to Him. For He only
sends all the difficulties upon mankind for the sake of
regaining faith in God. And thus He now needs to forcibly
bring up to height the completely wrestled-down faith by
giving proof of His omnipotence to man and to show the
world He is Lord of heaven and earth. Amen
46
love of God prevents them from getting harmed and,
therefore, forcibly terminates the lives of those who are out
to endanger the souls.
47
unspeakable grief that brought it to its senses. However, this
very moment leading its will to God cannot be brought about
forcefully by God in spite of greatest love. This love of God
has tried everything to bring salvation to the souls and to
point out the way to the top. However the will of man was
strong, and this will God cannot break but only have an
influence upon man in such a way that he changes his will
himself and turns it to God.
48
your heart is not always willing to receive and the kind of
obstacles that make it more difficult to receive thus arise from
that. Undivided attention has to be shown to the gifts of
heaven and all the earthly thoughts to be avoided; that’s when
the thoughts of the friends of the beyond find easier entry.
The divine love sends messengers your way to strengthen you
in your receptive will. They bring you a message that
describes to you the course of the catastrophe in a
comprehensible way, which is to decide upon death and life
of the individual.
Very few people pay attention to the time to come. They are
certainly astonished about changes or irregularities that occur
in nature but pass over it thoughtlessly. They don’t see an
expression of divine will in it but, typically, just a coincidence.
And thus they will, at the beginning, pay no attention to the
phenomena when the natural happening is about to come.
The attention of people will at first be drawn towards an
approaching storm by the presence of twisters. This will
happen in such a wink that man and animal will get into
greatest difficulties for they are barely able to offer resistance
to the violent storm, and this will be the beginning ….
49
indescribable chaos amongst people who recognize their
dreadful condition and are in severest trouble.
50
B.D. 4940 21.7.1950
51
have to be without help in order to obviously feel the help
from above. That’s why a violent storm will emerge that
uproots and jolts up everything. The earth will split open and
from above and below people will be at the mercy of the
elements against which they won’t be able to battle because
their strength won’t be sufficient. An unbearable heat will
render people unable and dull before already, apathetically
they watch the first phenomena in nature until they then
recognize their bad situation and now nearly brutally fight for
their life which they fear to loose.
And to all those who are of good will I will stand by in their
need and I will give them knowledge so they will see My
ruling and working in all the happenings and from this insight
also teach their neighbors and encourage them to turn to Me
and to preach to them about My love, wisdom and
omnipotence, so that they may call upon Me when in danger.
And I will be their guide, and throughout all of the distress all
those who believe in Me and are willing to serve Me in the
last time prior to the end shall be saved. For shortly after
these happenings will follow the destruction of the old earth
[surface] as it is written. Yet, people are not to experience this
destruction unprepared; and that’s why I [will] send ahead a
shadow, a last indication to be believed, so that people will
not enter their eternal ruin but are able to be saved if making
use of their will in the appropriate manner. Amen
52
B.D. 3348 27.11.1944
53
And the earthly distress will be severe and will offer the
possibility to everybody yet to find one’s way back to God;
for the natural event will announce itself beforehand. Unusual
signs will indicate 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 highest power, the director of
heaven and earth, to the point where the one has time and
the opportunity to combine with Him by means of intimate
prayer.
54
emphasis to this natural event as to be their strongest proof
of His non-existence; they will emerge as greatest deniers of
God from a happening meant to lead them back to faith. And
that’s why it’s obvious the struggle will flare up between those
who were made strong and faithful by the happenings and
those who have survived it in spite of their unbelief. And
after mankind has been granted yet a short time of grace
afterwards until the last judgment, thus everything will be
approaching the end …. Amen.
55
are endangered and as they fear for their life the possibility of
turning their thoughts to Him Who is mighty exists, Whom
they accept as God and Creator. And in calling upon Him
they are also saved for time and eternity. But whoever then
will still be stubborn, will not be spared the terrible lot of the
re-capture into matter. And there won’t be much time to pass
on any more until all of you people will be startled by an
announcement of an inestimable catastrophe and 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; because it is included in the salvation plan of God
from eternity.
56
who let God Himself speak to themselves, who believed His
words and who therefore belong to His people, messages
shall again and again be passed on of the occurrence of that
immense natural happening to be not far away. They are to
draw strength from His word because they will need just that
in order to remain steadfast and to pass on comfort and
enlightenment to their neighbors who are in deepest physical
and spiritual need. And every prayer that reaches Him He will
listen to and will grant strength and help to all who call upon
God, their Creator, in deepest distress. And every prayer that
reaches His ear He will listen to and grant strength and help
to all those who call upon their God and Creator. And even
though they’ll have to give their life, they have found their
ties to God and now don’t have to dread anymore the lot of
those who are entirely devoid of any faith and therefore still
belong to the one who wants to bring ruin upon them. There
will yet an opportunity be given to all people to get to know
their God 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, the Might of Whom he/she
once emerged from. And hence it was a blessing for the one,
even though countless people are snatched away. They may
enter 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 they call upon Him in deepest
distress who then also reveals Himself to them.
57
and is yet a last reminder, for shortly after that the end comes
like proclaimed. Amen
THE CATASTROPHE ….
The sorrow on earth has just turned into different forms but
it cannot yet be taken away from people as long as they will
not get converted to God and strive for fulfillment of their
spiritual task. And that’s why those too will now have to be
affected who have not been touched by the world happenings
up until now. And thus an unimaginable difficult time takes
58
the place of the time of the world conflagration, perceptible
everywhere where lack of love is prevalent. People can’t
imagine a natural disaster of such an extent as there is
imminent to the earth and it will, at the beginning, not be
recognized in its extent because it will take a long time before
the news of it will have spread throughout the world, and this
uncertainty increases the sorrow and the worry since every
connection with the environment is cut off and is difficult to
reinstate. And there will be pressure put on people by the
governing authority and will be used for executing tasks
nearly reaching beyond their strength and they won’t be able
to defend themselves but will have to lead a wretched life
without prospects of improvement.
Soon the hour will be present where God will speak to people
in a manner that will turn the whole world into turmoil. One
night will bring unspeakable misery upon people whose
countries will be befallen by this catastrophe and the break of
the day will be terrible because it will show to the survivors a
picture of desolation that surpasses all the fears and all the
59
imaginations. Yet the will of God is irrevocable for He knows
of the necessity of a shaking up of the human thinking, he is
aware of the need of the souls and, in order to help them in
this need, it will take place the way it is predestined from
eternity. Amen.
60
towards Him will mutually ease the need. For love dwells
within them and it helps to bear and overcome everything
because it supplies man with the power of God Who is love
personified.
God Himself is love and this love does not want the sorrow
for man but rather his happiness; except, this happiness
cannot be granted to him as long as he does not yet recognize
God as love personified. But to get to know Him the heart
has to turn to love and love is mostly aroused by severe need
and sorrow. And thus God has to send those upon mankind
in order to fan the spark of love in the heart of every person;
and the way the one now proves oneself is certainly as to how
the one is to receive on the part of the eternal divinity. And
thus the one can very quickly prepare a tolerable life for
himself again when adding his own effort to it as well, for the
61
sake of easing the need of his neighbor. And there will
certainly be given enough opportunity to him to let his heart
speak …. He will be able to act in love in the most various
ways …. Spiritually as well as earthly speaking, demands will
be made for him to be fulfilled in order to reduce even his
own need and to make his own life more bearable ….
Amen.
62
greater and that’s why he doesn’t recognize God and he also
does not direct his life according to His will. And thus an
exceedingly busy activity will start and people will want to
improve their situation which has, by means of God’s will,
become extraordinarily tough. And the way of thinking of a
person will now become obvious. The one living in love will
help the neighbor to make his life bearable, but the unloving
one will just want to restructure his own life for himself, he
will do everything to again create a life of luxury for himself
and won’t shy away to accomplish this at the expense of the
neighbor. And soon afterwards it will readily be discernable
with whose support he works, who supplies him with energy
for earthly works and has instead taken possession of his
soul.
But the believer will surely find help in every distress, just not
visible toward the outside but the power of God will flood
him. He will also master every situation and always keep in
contact with God, his faith will be extended, love for matter
will decrease and this is a far greater progress than the
increased earthly possessions of the former. For whoever sells
one’s soul for the sake of the earthly life just reckons with the
short earthly time that may at any time come to an end for
the one. And he/she doesn’t think about eternity that is
dreadfully painful for the one because he/she is in the grip of
matter in the same way as on earth. And that’s why man
ought to try to free oneself of every desire for it; he/she is to
accept the hard time in submissiveness to God’s will and the
more to cling to God, the more helpless the one is, earthly
speaking. For God will help them and also reveal Himself by
means of an often wonderful help. And the time of affliction
will only be short for them but endlessly long the life in the
63
spiritual realm where, rid of all matter, they will be
unspeakably happy because they have turned into overcomers
of matter on earth already. Amen
Whoever now turns to God and calls upon Him with all of
one’s heart, help shall be granted to the one, for now God
with His love and omnipotence shows Himself so clearly to
the point that it will be easy for the weak believer to attain a
solid faith and this time is a time of grace for the unbeliever
where, in light of the phenomena that are based on the
strength of faith, one can still easily change. These
phenomena will make everybody think but only the one
willing to believe will reap the benefits from it whereas the
64
others always just talk about an accident and bitterly face the
severe misery, decline a Creator or condemn His actions.
The size of the disaster cannot bring them to their senses,
they try to find a natural explanation for everything and
spiritual connections they reject altogether. In respect to the
experiences of the neighbor they remain hard and insensitive
and are not afraid to improve the condition for themselves at
cost of the neighbors who are too weak to defend
themselves.
Fear from that is but salutary for many since, in fact, the
thought of a sudden passing away and the life after death
becomes vivid and might bring about a change of one’s life
style. The world will want to intervene with 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 blessed by God because the great misery comes upon
people for the purpose of softening their hearts and to do
justice to their proper task, to act in love on earth for the sake
of gaining maturity of one’s soul. As long as people just seek
supply for themselves they remain in self-love and don’t get
65
ahead spiritually. The need of their neighbors, however, can
let their actions in love become active and that’s when they
fulfill the will of God and their earthly duty as well. And then
the most severe need is a blessing and it fulfills its purpose.
Amen
66
called a time of grace though, that yields an increased
maturity to many who are still of good will.
67
and having a desire of help for others. But whoever makes
use of one’s neighbor and tries to take advantage of his need
for one’s own self will, at the end, be counted to the ones to
be swallowed up by the earth at the last day. He will be
counted to the ones to be damned because they turned into
true devils and will have to share his [satan’s] wages, who will
be put in bondage and be again banned in the new earth for
an endless long time. Amen
You people will not and cannot yet believe it because never
ever before has such a natural event been experienced. But
the following end of this earth still requires one such
intervention from My part because once more I want to
speak to all of mankind to get it to come to its senses for the
68
sake of yet saving the ones who are of good will. And no
person will be able to ignore this address, but whether or not
they will now open up their hearts and ears, is still up to
them. For still, at that time, most people will separate from
Me, they will remain in their isolation they’ve already entered
due to their unbelief and will, for this happening, seek and
present themselves with any other explanation but the one: I
want to speak to them, the one God wants to disclose
Himself to them, Who speaks to them to get them to come to
their senses, to be united with Him in deepest distress and
danger.
Countless people will loose their lives and the eye of the
survivors will see a monstrous devastation; the misery will be
enormous and only a strong faith in Me and My help will
accomplish its removal, the former of which only a few
people possess. What, earthly speaking, does not seem to be
possible will, with My help, still be possible and I will often
have a miraculous effect upon true believers who are trusting
in Me and My help.
But the earth has to be shaken, the human hearts, too, have
to be touched in an unusual manner so that they prove to be
helpful to the neighbor in the great misery and an obvious
improvement of the situation will take place everywhere
where this love with an unselfish will to help one’s neighbor
is apparent. Because the purpose of My intervention is only
for the sake of people, to once put aside their self and to
practice unselfish love for the neighbor…. I then can also
take care of their own need, I then can provide them with the
necessities and I will truly take care of those who will reveal
that unselfishness. There will be a misery like never
69
experienced before, but I must speak thus distinctly so that
everybody is able to recognize Me in My might, and everyone
paying heed to unusual assistances not to be expected from
human side will certainly be able to recognize My love.
Whoever but establishes or strengthens the intimate ties with
Me will be certain of My help at any time, the people without
faith, however, are in trouble. They will try to help themselves
and often at the expense of their neighbors; but they will not
gain anything, neither physically nor spiritually.
70
Strength through God’s word in times of need.
71
continuously receive strength in order to keep going. The
faith of many people will become shaky if it is not a living
faith. And this is My intention that a dead faith be
reawakened by that too, because it would otherwise be of no
value for the eternity. Those people bare of and those weak in
faith I will help by My voice which will sound 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 be deterred to let the storm go across the earth.
The one who is steadfast will prove to be reliable for eternity.
And so, then, do not doubt My word, await the day that will
arrive with certainty and, until then, make use of every day
because you can still win many by being active at the work for
your soul. Every day of the misery can yield spiritual success
to you as long as you think of Me, as long as you keep 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 what I, for the sake of your souls, impose on you.
The time will pass by you in a hurry, yet, no matter how hard
it is for you, it is an act of mercy because you can achieve a
far greater progress than in a long, calm time which lets you
become indifferent and lazy and won’t let you get closer to
your last destination. Therefore await patiently the coming
true of My predictions, do not expect an ending of the misery
by My intervention but, rather, just a change of it because
your souls are not ready yet for the thorough peace on this
earth; you are to fight and gain a strong faith, only then I can
take the misery away from you, only then you can experience
a time of peace on earth or in the kingdom of the beyond.
72
Yet, always bear in mind again My word is truth and I do not
depart by one iota from what I proclaimed a long time ago
and you will be your own witnesses, you will experience what
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 My word so far, whom I still intend to
win for Myself and to whom I obviously make Myself known
by means of the natural happenings. So that they will believe
in My might and in My working through you.
73
their life. It is certainly a time of severe trials for all people
who are hit by the natural disaster, but to all who sincerely
turn to Me in faith my help will obviously be granted to them.
Therefore, you ought to miss no opportunity to make your
fellow man aware of that intervention of Mine which also
stops a disastrous earthly happening from which it is clearly
shown this need is not brought upon you by man, but that I
decide Myself as to how much affliction every individual one
has to take upon oneself that, it’s true, won’t be less grievous
but is to be regarded as the action of a higher Power, against
which no person can fight with one’s own strength.
And you people will now have to decide whether you want to
acknowledge such a Power, or else, to still deny it. And this
alone will certainly determine your further lot. (If denying this
Power the opponent will then support you, to whom you will
be enslaved completely.) Because that’s when a power will
then support you, to whom you will be totally enslaved. You
will act ruthlessly on your neighbors and you will at the
expense of those again obtain that what you need in order to
continue the old life style. And his hand (power) won’t let go
of you anymore. But whoever is strong in faith won’t be
deserted, I Myself, will give him the strength needed to stand
because his love for his neighbors is obvious and, the way he
gives, it will also be given to him, because there’s nothing
impossible for Me. And those will wonderfully experience My
help and humbly submit to their position.
And the fact it will turn out this way is already specified in the
Scripture and has been proclaimed by seers and prophets
over and over. But there’s nobody left any more who is able
to stolidly believe to the point of full and thorough
74
commitment to it, and even the recipients of My word have
moments where they feel slight doubts creeping up in them.
Yet again and again My instructions are given to them to
announce themselves to the fellow man, and they certainly
carry out their work faithfully in My vineyard. For the one
thing is certain to them, the time of the end has come and so
they deem My intervention to be possible, especially when
confirmed in the scripture as well; the coming of an
earthquake so severe the world has never experienced it ….
And thus all the prophesies will come true because My word
is truth and is bound to come true, just the day and the hour
is not made known to you people. And that’s why you’re
always postponing the event into the far away future without
considering the future once to become presence as well and
thus those people are affected who just happen to live at that
time.
75
of return to Me, which also demands a total re-arrangement
of the surface of the earth. Amen
Only a little time remains for you and you have to sincerely
prepare for the day when an act of destruction will take place
like it has not been experienced before. And even though I
keep announcing this to you over and over you are opposing
My word with doubts and are therefore lukewarm with your
work of your soul. And you’ve got but little time left. But I
cannot get your attention in another way than through My
word; if you 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 to those words, too, you won’t
lend any more credence than to the previous announcements
because My forbearance irritates you, because you cannot
understand I tarry for the sake of the souls yet to be saved,
even though the time has elapsed long ago. Some few are to
be saved yet; to those I will spare the endless long walk of a
re-embodiment [into matter] on the new earth and that’s why
I’m patient and tarry.
76
you ought to remember My words and to put the spiritual
ahead of the earthly because the worries about the latter is
irrelevant, since you cannot retain anything for yourselves
that I do not want to retain for you and it is up to My will and
might to physically protect and take care of you. Just think
about your soul, wherever the need is provided to you be
helpful and willing to give and get into intimate contact with
Me in order to receive the strength to hold out and to do
justice to all requirements of life. Receive continuous strength
from My word for in it you’ve got a source of strength by
which you can refresh yourselves and that will never run dry.
Always be ready for Me and I will not leave you no matter
what may come your way. Amen
77
hearts only. You will feel My closeness, you will recognize the
serious situation you are in. That will let you flee to Me.
Keep devoted to Me in this need and it will thus pass by you.
And before, do draw strength and consolation from this My
word. Already do receive Me into your hearts before, reduce
your resistance towards Me by a deliberate dedication of your
will and don’t be doubting but be believing because this faith
keeps the great affliction away from you, even though you are
found in its midst. For the world’s sake My omnipotence has
to be discernible to all of you, for the world’s sake that great
experience comes upon you, revealing My will and My
omnipotence.
And the effect can only be lessened to those who believe and
with full confidence present their need to Me, for My will has
command over life and death and My will lets people suffer,
if necessary, or else spares them if surrendering to Me. And
this [My] will also arranges the happenings in such a way as to
merely touch My people gently who are loyally devoted to
Me. For it [the happening] has to come upon mankind in
order to bring them back to Me, as far as this is still possible
and the souls are not yet completely obstinate and blind. I
worry about these souls and therefore apply the last means
which is seemingly cruel and yet, it offers the only possibility
for their salvation.
78
but will be lead through all the horrors, with full confidence.
For I know My people and My people know Me…. Amen
