THE HOUR OF DEATH - EXPLANATION OF SUFFERING

You do not know when your end will come, therefore, you should call upon the Mercy of God daily that you might receive it in the hour of death. Even though you live in God's Will, your end can still be dif- ficult for you, if it is to serve you to totally cleanse you and set you free for Eternity. God's Wisdom and Love is yours until the last hour on this Earth, and as long as your soul can change you will be given the opportunity even in the hour of death. So there is often physical suffer- ing for GOD-fearing people, and man cannot find an explanation for it, because they cannot see the Love of GOD in it. And yet it is God's Love that causes the affliction, because it is the best way to give the soul a certain degree of maturity, to allow the Light to radiate in the beyond through it. The soul will thank its Creator when it has been set free and realizes God's great Love and Mercy.

Thus all suffering must be seen as an evidence of God's Love, even the end is blessed if it is accompanied with suffering. It is not recognized by man, but the soul separated from the body with pain and agony rises up immediately into the kingdom "of happy spiritual" beings. It leaves the Earth not only physically but also spiritually and takes with it also the matured substances of the body, because every degree of suffering dissolves the hull, which still covers the soul.

And blessed is he who can free himself from the immature spiritual while still on Earth. He has used this earthly life for redemption and does not rebel against the Lord's Will anymore. In his hour of death he will struggle for the peace of his soul but never count suffering as unrighteous. Because his soul knows it is approaching the end, when physical affliction will be over. He knows that it is to the benefit of his soul, even if it is no more able to give this knowledge to the body. The body separates itself from the soul, as soon as it feels its approaching perfection, because then its role as a covering for the soul is fulfilled.

The hour of death can be difficult for each one of you. But it can also be a peaceful passing away, to awaken in the Kingdom of Light, where suffering is not necessary when the soul has already found the reunion with GOD on Earth, and he is taken home to HIS Kingdom, in his Father's House to be forever happy.

But you do not know how your end will be, therefore pray to GOD for Mercy, ask HIM for HIS Grace and strength if GOD finds it necessary to afflict you, because then you will be able to endure the hour of death. Even if the body suffers, the soul will separate itself from the body and rise to the spheres of Light.

AMEN
