Calmness before the Storm - Illusions of Peace
And even if it appears to you that you could anticipate a period of
peace, you should not let yourselves be deceived, it is only the
calmness before the storm and sooner than you think there will be
changes in the face of those, who speak of peace but start to throw the
torch amongst the nations of this Earth. The lull is dangerous for you
because you get drowsy and in this state you value only your earthly
existence.
And therefore I have disturbed the people again and again in the
tranquillity into which they have fallen, for I want them to be wide
awake. And therefore many things will happen, and the attention of
men will be directed always towards accidents and catastrophes of all
kinds. In addition to the apparent process and the earthly well being,
people must participate in such events where human strength is not
sufficient to avoid them. They must realize that nobody is secure
before such buffets of fate, even if his earthly life seems to be quite
safe.
Do not be fooled by the world's situation even if it looks tranquil; they
are all deceitful machinations and there can be a rude awakening for
you if you submit to this apparent calm and pay no attention to all the
signs that point to the end.
The change will come suddenly and all of you should be prepared and
therefore believe that the end will come. You observe many signs of
the final time, but My opponent will try to throw sand in your eyes
because he doesn't want you to believe in an end and reflect and
continue to do right. Therefore, he also influences his servants to
make people believe that they will encounter a new, beautiful future,
in peace and joy, and he is successful in this, because people always
prefer to believe what they themselves can observe than that, what is
announced as coming from the spiritual realm. But above all, they
want and prefer to believe in a beautiful and happy future in the
earthly sense, rather than in an end for this Earth.
But I will not stop warning and cautioning you, because it does not
only concern the few years of your earthly life, but eternity! And My
admonitions will always become more urgent the more tranquillity
spreads over the earth, the more humanity accepts a seemingly
peaceful existence and forgets all its good intentions that may already
have been taken as the result of the hints about the near end.
My opponent will stretch out his arms once more to catch and gather
mankind, and it requires a strong faith not to become a victim of his
force. Therefore I will continue to draw your attention again to what is
still awaiting you. Don't let yourself be deceived! My Word is Truth
and will be accomplishes and My Word tells you about the end that is
near, and which is to be preceded by a clear interference through Me,
by a catastrophe in nature of the greatest extent. And this catastrophe
will surprise all those that believe in peace, but they can still turn
around and start back on the short path until the end, in a constant
striving for perfection. This catastrophe will cost lives without
number! And do you know whether you are amongst them or not? Do
you know if it is not already too late for you to walk in indifference
and with hope for the future, dazzled by the prince of this world?
Therefore, remember always the words of Mine when you hear of the
sudden disappearance of people, from misfortunes and human
suffering of all kinds. Whereby I want to admonish all of you to
expect a sudden end; I desire that your eyes may be directed to the
Might that can destroy everything that you have built, and that can
ruin all your plans forever.
Unite yourself with this Power; seek the way that leads to Me, trust
Me and ask Me for the right guidance, for protection and mercy and
believe that there is peace only in connection with Me -- that you will
be cheated if an earthly peace is assured to you. Because humanity no
longer lives so, that the earthly existence can be peaceful; it does not
struggle for a spiritual development, and therefore has also lost the
right to live on this Earth.
Amen
