NEW EARTH (ROMANS 8:19-22)

No work of creation on this Earth will escape the great transformation, it involves everything from hard matter to plants, animal and man. The great destruction will affect everything and surpass all that has ever taken place on this Earth. Everything will be consumed so that men can truly speak of a new Earth when the transformation has been completed. All bound spiritual substance will be for the time being, freed from its material form. But it will not enjoy its freedom very long, because it will be bound again in the creations of the new Earth according to its degree of maturity. Therefore new creations can arise in a very short time, and do not need a long development process, because for all creations the respective spiritual substances in the required maturity are available. They only need another form so that evolution can continue on the new Earth. Those new creations will be so manifold that truly great progress can be made in a much shorter time than on this old Earth. The spirit substance will not find as much resistance than is the case now in the final time when so many evil forces exerted their influence.

This transformation will take place in a short time, but no one will be aware of it. The raptured ones will be brought to the new transformed Earth, but they will not be able to judge how long they were away from the Earth because they will lack the concept of time. Nothing will remain in its old form, and even man will not feel their earthly cloak as heavy. It is, so to speak, already a spiritual form, although it is still earthly-material sub- stance. They will experience no weakness or infirmities and can live on the new Earth in a state, which can truly be called paradise.

This condition will remain as long as mankind lives in a close relationship with GOD, has a direct connection with the Light-world and its occupants, and lives totally according to GOD' s Will. But in time a change will take place when the ruler of darkness again wins power over mankind. But that will not be for a long time, for the first generations will still be so closely united with GOD, Whom they experienced in all His Might and Majesty, that they remain true to HIM and live constantly in HIS Love and Grace. As a result the influence of the people on all creation will be very favorable. All what is spiritual in the creation will sense the Love of man and therefore come much more quickly to maturity the more it experiences Love. It is more willing to serve and can therefore leave its form sooner to enter the next higher one, so that its development will be considerably shortened compared with the previous period on the old Earth.

We must acknowledge the Love of GOD for the bound spirituality demonstrated by the transformation of the Earth. It is not only men, that needs GOD' s help, but all creation groans for redemption. But men have the opportunity to free themselves from their material form during their earthly life. If they fail it is their own fault. If they misuse their free will they must bear the consequences, because they will receive exactly what they strive for in their earthly life. The material, which was their goal will become their exterior cover.

AMEN
