DEATH BEFORE THE END-TIME IS A GRACE
GOD will be merciful to those who will at any time acknowledge
and renounce their wrong. But a most severe punishment without mercy shall
come on those who are unyielding in their stubbornness, those who have
no pity on their fellowman, and are guided only by their selfishness.
The coming days will witness increasing immortality among mankind. Man
will devise unimaginable means of destruction and will not hesitate to
use such devices to accomplish their plans. The distress of mankind will
increase. For this, the instigator of these things, as well as his followers
and those who support his plans, will have to give an account. Because
GOD is righteous and HE judges man's thoughts, words and deeds.
Nothing is hidden from HIM. HE knows the thoughts and impulses of the
heart. He determines the measure of Grace that will be allotted to each
when the end comes, and it is certain that the end will come. People's
actions will hasten the end. You are coming to the end of an age, an age,
which cannot produce a better generation, even if GOD would extend HIS
patience much longer to offer mankind more opportunities to change. People
no longer make use of such opportunities so GOD brings this earthly life
to an end.
This phase of development has been particularly rich in Grace for mankind
and should have been sufficient for man to find Salvation, and GOD will
still help people with extraordinary gifts of Grace to the very end, although
they will be mostly left unheeded. Everything concerning GOD and Salvation
will be ignored.
Therefore, a longer life on this Earth would serve no purpose. It would
only serve the body and not the immortal soul. So the possibility for
the soul to live longer is taken away. However, there is the promise of
further development in the beyond if the soul does not reject GOD's Word
there also, and provided that the soul, be fore the last judgment at the
end of this Earth is loosed from its physical life and is accepted into
the realm to come.
So death before this is a special mercy for the man who has not yet made
his decision on Earth. He will still find in the beyond plenty of opportunities
to be helpful and to serve in Love. Then he can get on with his development
that was interrupted, he can even begin his development if his resistance
is not so great that it gives no heed to the souls who help him.
The soul can still continue in its back- sliding and go back again into
the hardest matter. It must then repeat the long walk through the creations
until it can once again embody as human being. GOD's Mercy is still available
for many be fore HE lets this Earth be destroyed. He will not force peoples
free will. Those who open themselves for HIS Mercy will receive many blessings
for their soul.
On the other hand, they can remain empty and powerless, both on Earth
and in the beyond, if they shun or ignore this Mercy. But they can receive
strength in great measure and progresses unbelievably fast if they in
free will let those gifts of Mercy influence them.
GOD is exceedingly Merciful and Compassionate, but also righteous, and
HE will give to everyone according to their desires.
AMEN |
