Revenge of the Dead
29th August 1849.
Oh Lord! Now, after much bloodshed, our warfare would be over, and we truely hope for the golden peace and its spiritual as well as – as far as the salvation of our souls allows – physical advantages. Will our hopes indeed be justified? Or should all this be just a wretched prelude to a bigger world terror drama? Or will peace be like that in the dungeon or even the grave? Briefly, oh Lord! What's ahead of us? What do we have to expect? God, Lord and Father! Your name be hallowed, and Your only holy will be done!
[1] Write! Who builds on Me and trusts in Me, to him no hair shall be bent, neither spiritually nor bodily. But everyone, whoever they may be: high or low, king or beggar, who build on their own power and trust in self-help, will perish, and it will say: Today to Me, tomorrow to you! Those who lay in the graves will rise out of them and will afflict all who have thrown them into the grave! He that has eyes, let him see; and he that has ears, let him hear! This will be a true resurrection of the dead from the graves of their physical and spiritual death.
[2] But then woe to all those who are to blame for their death! They will not have to deal so much with fire and sword, but instead with the more devils that are set free, and we will then see how they cope with them without My help. In the morning they will get up and do as they please – but the evening will not see them again.
[3] Who are then the enemies? Behold, they are people! And who are then the friends? Behold, they are people too. But the people should be like brothers and sisters. But they rage like panthers, hyenas, tigers and lions, and the strongest boasts of the defeat of his brothers whom he has strangled. And from the graves steams up curse and pestilence against the victors in My heavens and cries out: Revenge, revenge, revenge and retribution to all who have transgressed with the blood of their brothers!
[4] And I say ‘Amen’ to it; for he who does not gather with Me, fights and conquers, scatters and murders and conquers to his own destruction, just as hell does from the very beginning. But I say neither yes nor no; for as they bed themselves, so shall they sleep.
[5] I gave the people a law, and that is called love! But they laugh about it and kill and slaughter their brothers for the sake of the world. Therefore the world will judge them and the earth will devour them in the near future! For I am not with those who are not with Me.
[6] Who will preserve them as I will let them go? But I and My word are one, and I am the Word's sound, and I am the law. Whoever does not act according to My words, acts against Me and against My law, which is also Me! Can I well be with him who is against Me in confession, in word and in deed?
[7] If I had offered war like love, humility and true simple-minded meekness, I would have blessed his work too. But since war was never commanded by Me except against hell, if it threatens My sanctuary, so he will also eternally have no cause to enjoy any blessing from Me!
[8] Therefore let no-one rejoice in victory, for no creature should be blessed because of it; for what the sword won, that and much more the sword will consume again.
[9] Let no-one believe that those who rot in the grave are dead – oh no! They live a thousand times more powerful than when the grave had not yet swallowed them! Well may the sword and fire of the earth hold down fearful worms; but those in the tombs live a life of hatred, wrath and eternal vengeance, which no earthly power can hold or bind! I alone can hold and tame them. But if I release them – say, before what weapon will they still tremble and by what fire will they be held down? The lords of the earth give their weapons the honor for the victories they have achieved, and
the soldier is now the support and adornment of the thrones. But I am remembered little or not at all! Well, we shall see when the dead will fight, what support the soldiers will give the thrones without Me.
[10] I have now harshly afflicted all people together with their rulers, and everyone should have found in it the palpable admonition to true repentance and improvement. But unfortunately this is not so, but they still do as they had done. The great man and the rich man does not see the poor and leaves them in want. And with My twisted Words, they want to throw the nations again into the dungeon of night and death!
[11] But this time I say: Only a very short period is still granted to you! Blessed are you, people of the earth, if you use them for the right living uplifting of the hearts of the nations, there shall be a propitiatory covering put on the most cruel works of war. But when the great ones begin to crush the small ones in spirit to be their masters easier, then pay attention which fire of revenge from all graves will begin to spread over the whole earth! And this should be the same fire of which it is written (2 Peter 3:7) that through it, the earth will have to pass a last judgment.
[12] But pray, all you My children, that you may not fall into temptation and that the army from the graves may not harm you when it shall be urged to arise; because those who walk with Me, will also find the just protection with Me. Amen. This says the Lord, the Truthful One. Amen, Amen, Amen!
