The wild hunt
1st February 1841
[1] A supplement about being possessed! But if I will announce to you here for mankind terrible things in full measure, then think that it is I, to whom all things are possible!
[2] If in the case of a person who is otherwise pious and virtuous, evil, strange beings make themselves known either by gestures, and this is immediately recognizable, or also in special cases, in strange voices by all kinds of blasphemous speeches with mockery and ridicule, as they torture the poor possessed person, beat him and throw him to and fro, then this appearance has a threefold reason.
[3] If the question were asked: how does such an innocent person come to such torment, why and when? – think first of all:
[4] When a deer has been killed in the hunt, it will no longer be hunted; the kill will be carried home as the prey of the hunter. But where the dogs still scent the deer in the forest, see, they give no rest to the deer and pursue it constantly, so that they bring it before the hunter's deadly gun, in order to then again get fresh blood to lick. And then thirdly, every hunter also has his time and observes the maturity of the game and spares it carefully beforehand and prevents the barking of the dogs, so as not to frighten the game out of the forest. The game, however, is blameless, for it is not able to notice the malice of the huntsman. And it often happens that it is a stupid deer and remains as tied up in the dark precinct of death and lets itself be hunted by the dogs and killed by the hunter.
[5] See here the picture – and know that the prince of darkness constantly hunts all people and regards them all as the game of his large district. And if in former times he was only a predator, he has now raised himself for a short time to the owner of the hunt and therefore knows to spare his game until the certain time, when he again gives a big hunt to return home, loaded with rich booty.
[6] But such "hunting seasons" are mainly those public amusements, war, discord, fornication and the like more. And there dancers, warriors, enviers, fornicators and so on are nothing but hunted "game". Blessed are those who have taken refuge in My territory early before the time of the hunt, if they have been told by a presentiment or by My voice calling from afar what will soon come over the forest of Satan! But woe to the hunted, truly I say, whose prey they have become, they shall remain so!
[7] Woe to the musicians, who zealously thrust Satan's hunting horns day and night, to stun the game and hunt it to the deadly fiery jaws of the prince of all devils! Hear, you loyal mercenaries of Satan, who blow the language of heaven into the trumpet of death, your reward will be great in the kingdom of him whom you serve so faithfully!
[8] Listen, you My scribe, such cannot be possessed, since they themselves belong to the hunting retinue of Satan anyway. Oh do not doubt that it is so, because the dance music is a deceptively fine voice of Satan and resembles the song of the sirens, of which the ancients fabled very wisely. But he who leads such a voice is no longer a possessed one, but one who catches and takes possession himself.
[9] Woe to you dance masters and dance leaders, ball hosts and ball masters, you also belong like the musicians to the hunting retinue of Satan and are very useful shooting and driving devils yourselves! I do not need to spell out your wages for the future, for in whose office you stand, he will have already measured out your pay anyway! You are diligent and faithful servants of your master; but every worker is worthy of his wages! And so you can truly be completely assured that one day, and soon, in the last time of the great distribution of wages and prizes, you will not be
shortchanged at all. For truly, it will go according to My announcement, and he would like to be a sure guarantor of this promise for you!
[10] Behold, you My scribe, even these are not and will not be possessed, but consider this kind of people well, and you will find very soon that they are nothing but Mammon's compliant servants, who have it written on their foreheads with well-readable writing: "Allow us and give us money, and we will poison the whole world for you and build dance halls in which suns may celebrate their rising and setting and earths roll around like peas!" Oh, behold, for such great and glorious plans a very great price and reward will have to follow one day! For truly, heaven suffers the greatest poverty of such great-thinking spirits!
[11] Woe to you disciples of such masters! Verily I say to you, the prince of the eternal night has faithfully inscribed your names in his great book of death. And the angel of My mercy has simultaneously erased them from My book of life. And because of this you will be drawn to those who will say: Lord, Lord, we have called upon Your name, we have believed that You are the living Son of God, though we have not borne the miraculous fruits of faith, yet we have believed and have been witnesses of Your grace and have worked all our deeds in the power of Your name, knowing well that without Your will, not even a sparrow can fall from the roof!
[12] But I will then be so free and will answer them boldly and dryly: "Depart from Me, you cursed and hounded ones, I have never recognized you as My property: Do you think that I am a robber and a thief, and that I want to take other people's game? Far from that! Return to whom you have become one with, that you may receive your reward! For I know your owner, and My righteousness goes farther than you think. And therefore shall be Satan's what he has acquired, and Mine only that which has entered My precinct early enough, lured by My voice.
[13] One day the great prince of death, whom you have made your own, shall have no cause against Me, as if I had ever been unjust against him. But then his shall be his, and Mine shall remain Mine eternally – and that is his in the agony of judgment and all damnation with and at and in him, as Mine in the highest bliss and delight of life with, at and in Me!"
[14] Behold, My scribe, these already belong to the possessed. For whoever possesses the territory, those that dwell on it, is also his. But if someone at the right time of release, which is the short earthly lifetime, leaves the evil territory voluntarily and completely and comes to Me to make his home on My territory, I will take him in and make him My property. And I will know well how to entrench My territory from the enemies and (unrepentant,) hounded defectors, so that My territory remains a sanctified one and My inhabitants are completely secured.
[15] But hear, all of you who are hurried, this is My voice: Verily, I say to you, you shall not be let into My territory on your flight! For whose name was once written in the book of death, for him I will never fight! For the justice of the land register shall be eternally taken into account by Me.
[16] To this class shall also be counted all fashion and luxury merchants, all the manufacturers of such abominable things of Satan and also all those who praise, defend, approve and even often well- meaningly promote such things, as well as all those who participate in them and find taste in them. And so also woe to those who wanted to prevent such things and did not, out of temporal interests! All these shall become My property, not those who will not believe this word that they may be saved.
[17] Oh do not doubt, you My scribe! It is so! And once many will come to My territory and will call My name, but not inwardly. But truly I tell you, they will not be let in. And behold, there will be much blasphemy and cursing, and many will cling to the wood of My forest to destroy it out of revenge. But they will never reach the marrow of My solid wood. And if I immediately have the trees of My forest cleansed, behold, I am a good forester and will bring the branches back into order.
[18] And the fact that I tolerate such things and myself do not interfere with the other's property happens so that one day, as already said, my enemy cannot accuse me of the slightest injustice. Therefore I do not seek anyone with force and violence and do not want to persuade anyone to come to me, but whoever comes, seeks me and knocks at the door of my territory at the right time, and that is loudly shouting and with all violence knocking and tearing at the door of my territory, to him I will open the door and receive him well.
[19] But whoever does not come at the right time and does not scream and knock violently and tear at the door, I truly tell you, I will not judge my enemy for his possession, but what will come over my enemy will also come over his acquired property!
[20] But as death came through the one and life again through the One – so in the end the judgment will also be held against one and everything will be judged by One! But if the prince of the world is judged by the eternal Son of the Father, then all his property will also be judged with and in him. For when you judge a criminal, don't you judge his bowels at the same time? And will a member be kept alive if the criminal is killed ?! See, the same will happen some day, and not that long anymore!
[21] Think about what I have said here! I have still concealed many things, but leave the unnecessary. There shall still follow a supplement! Amen. This say I, Eternal Love! Amen.
