Three questions

18th May 1842, morning

Oh most beloved, most holy Father Jesus! What is the meaning of the fire in the great city of H? What is the meaning of the strange cloud-image that I saw in my birthplace (Jahring near Marburg) on the 16th of this month? Did the hailstorm, which threatened so violently, indeed disappear on the same afternoon by the power of Your name, which I invoked? And what did the terribly strong thunderclap mean?

[1] Although your questions originate more from your curiosity than from your benevolent thirst for faith, I will nevertheless give you a short and very definite answer. For behold, the curious soul indeed thirsts through curiosity, but this thirst is better than none at all, since only a dead soul is not capable of thirst.

[2] But in spite of this, such thirst is similar to the thirst of the body, which occurs after a fever or which is sometimes peculiar to the wanderers on sultry days, when they have to drink with great caution, so that they do not catch lung disease in the throat. But as these are allowed to sip the water only drop by drop in order to get rid of the thirst little by little, I want to quench your thirst the same way, with only three drops.

[3] And so open the ears as the mouth of the soul and receive the three drops, which sound and taste thus:

[4] Take note! Concerning the fire in the named city, it is a long and often threatened streak by the oversized worldly calculations, which these very outwardly turned, overly confident people have carried out with the whole world!

[5] Is it not the highest and most wicked folly of a man or a whole nation who already possesses so much of the world's wealth that in thousands of years he or she would never be able to consume it by a proper way of life – to continue to seize more and more of the most nefarious means of deception, in order to draw all the world's wealth to himself and then to be able to proudly say to the whole world from the golden throne: "You must all come to us, so that we can kill you at will, or let you live as we please" or: "Now we are the masters of the world!"

[6] What do you think then, what is to be done to such a nation – what to such sacrilegious people, who know nothing about Me anymore and also do not want to know anything – who have made gold their exclusive god and are not afraid to commit any vice under the mask of trade, in order to reach only as soon as possible the full possession of this god of hell. See, to this question this My line through such accounts is the living and therefore energetic answer!

[7] Where a soul seriously devotes itself to work, it can never speak of disadvantage … It will be considered in the same way as all spiritual beings ….. The embodiment is granted to them as grace, and so also every soul can develop immensely high during the time of the embodiment, but it is up to itself, how it uses this time for eternity. The future will confirm what has been said!

[8] Behold, such also belongs to the series of My "ways" to prepare mankind and make it ready for something else – you will certainly guess what I mean! But first many cities will be purified by fire and by water! This is enough for you for the time being about the mentioned fire!

[9] But concerning your second question, it will be dealt with in any case at the following revelation about the Großglockner; therefore it remains unanswered here.

[10] Now only the third point is left to answer. See, if it is said there that with Me everything can be aligned, but without Me, nothing – and again: "Whatever you ask the Father in My name, that will be given to you" – and again: If you had faith as big as a grain of mustard seed, you would say to the mountain: Lift up and fall into the sea, and it will be done according to your word" – and also it is said: "You will do greater things than I!" And if there are still many passages that speak of what the faithful lovers of Me are able to do, yes, that they are even able to raise the dead in the flesh – See, if all these things are written and are literally true, how can you ask afterwards whether a possible random storm has turned up according to the pronounced power of My name, which is the mightiest name, before which all heavens, all earths and all hells must bow?

[11] Truly, he who calls on My name with faith, shall also experience the power of it, if he does not doubt in his heart. But he who can still doubt the power of My name, which is always sure to work, is also not yet capable of My kingdom and will not be able to do much, since he does not yet have a firm foundation.

[12] Standing on sand, no-one can lift a load without sinking into the bottomless sand. But whoever stands on a rock, will he also sink into the rock when he lifts a great load? But My name is the rock! He who builds on it, will never be destroyed.

[13] Behold, then, if by My name you have commanded the treacherous cloud to be harmless, is there anything to wonder about, if it's impetuosity had to bow down as soon as it heard the power of My name from your mouth, signified by your hands?!

[14] Therefore, believe that it is and must be! For the elements are more obedient than people, and the dead stone has sharper ears and the withered grass sharper eyes than the worldly living people!

[15] Such you may well understand and faithfully take from your "miracle" – if you can still think of a "miracle" at all with the highest naturalness of such phenomena, since all effects originates from My name (or words) alone!

[16] But as for the strong thunderbolt which is always the result when the spirits of peace seize and bind the enemies very quickly, this has already been mentioned on other occasions. Therefore, you should understand this well. For every suppressed anger and wrath always ends in this way. And no exorcised evil spirit leaves it's dwelling quietly, but "tears" it while escaping, so that it only receives more damnation!

[17] For the love of evil spirits is hell! What does an angry man do? Behold, he beats with his fists whatever comes under him, and tears the clothes off of himself and others, and so forth. But when he is caught, he immediately breaks out in all fury and still makes his last rage or tear.

[18] Behold, that is also where the great crack of thunder comes from! That's all you need to know for now. And so for now you have enough of the "three drops. But when you will be properly cooled down, then a "cloudburst" will bring you and also all the others, streams of light!

[19] But this is true and certain from My mouth for every believer in love! Amen.

[20] Understand and heed it well! Because My word is eternally one and the same eternal truth! Believe it firmly! Amen, Amen, Amen.
