JOHN 21:25

To those who are Mine, I give a light if they earnestly desire it! In My plan from eternity there are many things hidden from men. Unlimited knowledge is always a sign of the greatest maturity of' the soul, for as love increases, so does knowledge, too.

I am aware from eternity what a degree of love men will achieve, and therefore I did not say more during My life on earth than men could comprehend, for the comprehension of the most profound knowledge depends upon the degree of their love. However, I spoke of many more things, which have not been passed on. There were also people around me who were filled with love and capable of comprehending and accepting a deeper knowledge. But I kept repeating one doctrine: the commandments of love. I always urged men to live a life of love.

This doctrine of love is still today 'My Gospel 'which must be submitted to all men of good will. A person's degree of spiritual maturity depends solely upon the way he fulfills My commandments of love, and on his maturity depends the degree of knowledge he possesses.

Love guarantees true knowledge that can penetrate into the greatest depths. And the more a person is transformed to love, the more strange knowledge he could receive if he so desired it.

However, there were not many people who desired knowledge. Usually they where satisfied with the knowledge that was handed down and could be found in the Book of Books. But the knowledge comprising the truth out of God is inexhaustible, and it cannot be limited, since I, as the most perfect being, know no limitation and thus do not limit the knowledge of man, if he earnestly strives for perfection and changes completely to love.

Then will he learn about things, which are not to be found in any book, he will keep penetrating deeper into divine wisdom and this astonishment will be without end. It would be foolish to make such knowledge accessible to all people through books, for it requires a high degree of spiritual maturity to comprehend it, which only a few people on earth posses.

However, it can be gained, and therefore My commandments of love must be pointed out to people time and again because these can gain them the maturity of their soul. Although life on earth is short, it suffices for the attainment of a high degree of maturity.

Therefore, a person can depart from earth with a high degree of cognition, if he has fulfilled those commandments of love with zeal. For then I reveal Myself to him, put the right thoughts into his heart or convey to him the truth through the Inner Word.

Then he will exceed that knowledge which he gained through learning or the work of his intellect, but he will also recognize that the truth is contained in the Book of Books because he will be reading it with an en- lightened spirit, realizing that alterations have occurred due to intellectual thoughts of men which can be detected and rectified only by an enlightened spirit.

‘Who loves Me and keeps My commandments, to him I will come, and reveal Myself...' And I shall truly guide him into truth and' give him the right understanding. That which is not essential to know for the life on earth and which was, therefore, kept hidden, shall now in the 'final time' be revealed to all those who want to be Mine. To them I reveal My plan of salvation from eternity, for I want them to understand the gravity of this time; they shall know what is ahead of them and be admonished and warned in all love to think of the end and prepare themselves for it.

Therefore, knowledge is now conveyed to men, which they will believe and accept or reject according to their degree of love. They will not be forced to accept it, but they shall think about it. Because they ignore the Book of Books, they shall receive My Word, which teaches love and at the same time reveals to them more of My plan of salvation, because - the end of time has come. I will now submit to men a knowledge, which is unbearable to them if their faith is weak or has completely vanished, so that only those, whose faith is strong, will heed this and learn about My plan of salvation from eternity.

I am now revealing Myself to them telling them that whatever seers and prophets have proclaimed since the beginning of this salvation period, is now being fulfilled. For this period must also come to an end and the future must become the present. And those whose spirit is enlightened will find it to be in full accordance with the Scriptures, for what comes from Me will always agree and never contradict itself.

And just as the harvest is the end of a farmer's efforts I, too, shall reap in the end and gather in the souls that have matured on this, earth for a life in the spiritual kingdom or on the new earth, whatever My wisdom and love, sees fit: I shall judge the living and the dead. I shall place everything where it belongs according to its state of maturity!

This will also mean that many people who failed in their temporal life and sank back into the state of death shall again be enclosed into hard matter from where they will have to find their wav back into life gradually through endless times.

But nothing shall be lost forever and also that which has sunk the deepest will at some time come back to life, which it will not lose ever again.

AMEN
