VISITATIONS FROM OTHER PLANETS
There is no earth-like material world whose inhabitants can
leave bodily without losing their lives even though we understand that
the earth or other planets may have beings of stronger consistency by
virtue of the nature of the particular planet, for they are suited to
their own environment. So it is never possible for the inhabitants of
one planet to go to another since the living conditions are only suitable
to the living beings for at planet, which is allotted according God's
Will.
It is true however, there is a spiritual relation between different worlds,
which are concerned about and pursue spiritual purposes, but never can
or will the inhabitants of another planet create any real benefit as men
often hope or imagine. There is no joining of different planets unless
a spiritual contact is set up through spirit beings, who can let their
Light shine out to all planets. So they can be united with people on earth
in thought when they desire such a contact and when they are open to these
Light-rays.
Then these Light-beings can give advice relating to earthly matters, and
can also care for men's earthly needs and exercise their influence in
a truly Divine sense. But that they could appear visibly to men would
be exceptional and happen only in special cases and for special reasons.
It will never be common for mass appearances of such beings, nor can you
say that this may soon take place.
People must remember that they live in the last days. They must realize
that shortly before the end the opponent of God is nearing the end of
his freedom when he will be bound again, and he knows that he has only
a short time left. Still in his blindness he thinks his power will be
victorious, and therefore he will stop at nothing to gain this supposed
victory. And when the people know this it explains much that seems unusual
or mysterious, although science also explains a great deal.
Unexplained events occur in areas outside the realm of science, which
are more of a transcendental nature…. and this area is used by the
enemy, so he is not so easy to detect and he makes people think they have
been spoken to by beings from the realm of Light, and thus surrender to
his influence. This influence is always intended to lead people away from
the Truth and obscure their thinking through error, thus preventing their
return to God.
Then men's thinking becomes materialistic which must be overcome
during their earthly life…. what from God's point of view is proclaimed
as "close at hand" concerning the approaching end, is ignored
by the enemy. And so people are led into false expectations and as a result
are indifferent toward their soul, which is a great danger to the soul
in that it could experience the end unprepared, to become lost again for
a very long time.
Men, who are not worldly-minded, do not fall for these temptations because
their looking to God and their desire for Truth assures them of right
thinking. And if they are not able to explain such appearances it does
not seriously affect their lives and they continue on steadfastly to the
end, always under the protection of Light-beings, who keep the opponent
from getting hold on them. And in the final analysis, it is the will of
the people themselves that determines if, and how far, they progress in
the Truth.
AMEN |
