A small nota bene

21st July 1840 around noon.

Here is a small nota bene to justify the correction.

[1] If I call you stupid, then that means in the correspondence as much as: You have the full measure of My love – and are blind in the bright sea of My great mercy, like a night owl or also like a prisoner, who after 30 years has come out of the dungeons thickest night into the brightest daylight; which state is called 'stupidity', just as the one is ' stupid' who is in such a state. And I say: Bless you, since you are worthy to be called stupid by Me; for truly I tell you, whoever does not first become stupid in My bright great grace, will never see My Holy City! He would have to become stupid beforehand in all love and humility, Amen.

[2] It has an equal standing with the nonsense that says: If someone has withdrawn his worldly senses more and more from the world and the spiritual senses are not yet fully developed, then man is in the state of nonsense, which the world then calls a 'foolishness'. But I still say: Rejoice when your great Holy Father calls you fools, because then you know that my kingdom has come very close to you. For verily I say unto you: Until someone has not become nonsensical in my mercy- love, he will not enter my kingdom to live.

[3] Therefore be glad and rejoice beyond measure, if I call you foolish and nonsensical, and lift up your heads and see My Spirit floating above them! Oh overjoyed are you whom I call so; for this is the great blessing of your Father in whom you will all find eternal life.

[4] But sad be he from whom I will stay away with this great naming of My grace; because there he has also lost his child rights with Me and will one day have to endure a severe judgment before the face of God! But My children will only taste the blessed judgment of My most loving Father's heart, Amen.

[5] Understand this well – this say I, your most loving, holy Father. Amen, Amen, Amen.
