The princes Judah and the Lord
26th February 1842, in the afternoon from 4 to 3/4 7 o'clock.
Writer: Marie H., Wilhelmine H., Pauline H. Hosea 5:10: The princes of Judah are like those who move the border: therefore will I pour out My wrath on them like water. Amos 7:6: Then the Lord regretted it also, and the Lord said: It shall not come to pass either. Micah 4:6: In that day, says the Lord, I will gather the lame and bring the outcast in droves and that I have plagued.
About this the Lord gave us the following explanation through His servant:
[1] In order that you may understand these texts, which in all seriousness are already of the greatest importance, you must first know what is meant under the princes of Judah; and then again, what is understood by the expression: to move the border.
[2] By the princes here are not understood some kind of royal descendants, but such people, who handle My word either in a prophetic way inwardly alive, or in a priestly way, outwardly according to the letter.
[3] Behold now, My dear little children, when then such keepers of My word of whatever kind, by virtue of their free will, in one or the other piece, act with just this My great treasure against My divine intention, selfishly at their own discretion – when the first ones mix their own to My word, and the second group twist the meaning of the word that is written there, domineeringly and selfishly into natural and worldly things, so they move the borders – that is to say the borders of My eternal order, that is why I then also pour out My anger over them like water when they do not return to the determined borders of the divine order.
[4] But what is this My wrath, which I certainly pour out at all times against such faithless princes of Judah or selfish handlers of My word, like a murky flood of water? Behold, this is the surely all- time arriving complete blindness of their hearts, therefore they then stand there like the mad, blind, and deaf, and do not feel with their hardened hearts, see nothing with their apparently open eyes, and hear and understand nothing with their ears, what there is of the Spirit of love and all life from it. Even if they read My written word with outer bodily senses, they merely understand nothing of it, that is why they are in My wrath.
[5] My dear little children, today there are an extraordinary number of such princes of Judah, they are still up to this hour in My repentance, by which is understood My patience, mildness, gentleness and mercy. In the matter of My repentance, it shall not happen that the earth shall ever stand deserted, since everything would be flooded by My wrath; for that is why the Lord stands here, who speaks twice out of His repentance – once to indicate that I am the Lord in the infinite sense of heaven and earth and thus of the whole infinite creation spiritually and physically; and secondly, but one and the same Lord in every man's individual heart, which has turned to Me. And so the twofold word 'Lord' means both My external and My internal presence, since the external one is equal to the eternal wisdom and the second one is equal to the eternal love of God, which speaks in the heart and acts in it and draws it.
[6] Behold, it is actually this second Lord who spoke and still speaks and also just now speaks in His remorse. Neither shall it happen, in spite of the many princes of Judah in this time, that I want to leave as orphans those who seek Me – but therefore I will remain with them and with everyone until the end of the world – that is, until the time when the world has come to a perfect end with him, from which time he then comes to My perfect, eternally remaining view and possession of the imperishable eternal life, which is stated here in the third text chosen by you, which thus reads:
[7] At that time I will gather the lame and gather together the outcasts in droves and those who have been afflicted by Me. That means: At the world-devoid time of each individual man, all his denying powers are to be awakened and united to a power of love and eternal life in him; and the rejected and scattered desires shall be brought into one heap, that is, under one and the same roof of love. And finally, those afflicted by Me are the various trials and temptations, which quite naturally come to an eternal end; for if the Lord speaks and works in someone and teaches and draws him, he is in a certain respect only a suffering person, since he does not draw himself, but is drawn by Me, which means just as much as being afflicted.
[8] But if man has let himself be drawn to the end of his world and thus has remained until the end, then the Lord Lord enters into him, which is the full redemption, the baptism in the Spirit with fire or the perfect rebirth, whereby man is completely filled with My Holy Spirit in all love, power, might and authority, that is why he then also becomes completely one with Me. What temptations would still be conceivably possible, when it is just as unthinkably possible that any weakness can still exist in man, for the very simple reason that such born-again people and I are completely one, and he can then also exclaim with My Paul: "Now I no longer live, but Christ lives in me!" But Christ is the Lord Lord!
[9] Behold, this is the true inner understanding of these texts. Consider it well and take it alive into your heart; For it is certainly not enough to know such things from the outside, like the princes of Judah, who also say Lord, Lord – but the Lord Lord will never enter into their hearts. But all this has to be read with the heart and alive in the heart, and understood in the most active way; only then the Lord and finally the Lord Lord comes – as has been shown in the course of this revelation – into man and makes him alive out of Himself, through and through.
[10] If you do accordingly, you too will very surely and confidently, and in the shortest time, taste the baptism of fire of the Spirit, Amen. My blessing with you all, now and forever. Amen.
