Natural events as signs of the time
21st July 1842, morning
Please the servant: "Oh most loving Holy Father Jesus! Behold, many things are now happening of a very unusual kind, such as: great fires, earthquakes, waterspouts, floods, and the like. What is all this mystery supposed to lead to? I, poor, weak sinner, ask You that You would indicate to me, as to all of us, in a few words only what should be to be inferred from it? But always and forever may only Your most holy will be done! Amen."
[1] So write then! What do you think then, what do you think one is in the habit of doing, little by little, with those who have an exceedingly strong sleep, when the day that is becoming is already strongly approaching, so that it is indeed the highest time to wake up, get up, and get dressed for the new business of the new day?
[2] Behold, such strongly sleepy one shake, poke, thrust, shake, pinch, and pour water on them, and continue to do such things more intensively until the one who has not quite slept himself into death awakens again in and for the new day. But whoever is can not be awakened, for him the grave is made!
[3] Behold, therefore all these phenomena of the times are nothing but such shakers, to awaken many a strong sleeper, of whom there are now many, from their sweet world-dreams, but to remove the very dead out of the way.
[4] Believe it firmly, another time is near! Therefore it will always come better. And so you will hear in a not long time also of a result, which will in many respects surpass all those of whom you have received news up to now. And then many will say:
[5] "Where are now those human beings whose proud legions who have kindled discord and war in all lands? Night has gathered them together, but day sees them running like weak streams, which were swelled up by a downpour, then rushed over rocks and raged as if they should bow down before them; their wild waves alone shattered and foamed against the firm foreheads and now hurry with furious haste, as the sea's mighty and broad arm holds the very near destruction for them in fullest readiness!”
[6] I tell you, be careful when such things happen! And nobody should be afraid of it! For the more such results will accumulate, the more will also become visible to man on earth and in the earth, the rays of the great dawn!
[7] But everyone should be on guard! For one thought too late – and the thief will enter the rooms and will rob, murder, burn, and scorch!
“Look, the water spray sparks, and the earth is glowing throughout! The sun has got it's measure and the "Carmel" has climbed! Consider, consider, how far, how far it is the evil, dark time still! Therefore I will tell you today: it is preparing for the last battle!
[8] Look, it calls the world from it's dream, yes, from a last dream it calls to itself: "God! What then is man? A miraculous thing? Is he a self-contradictory composition of everything that is in conflict with itself? Is he an unsolvable riddle? Or is he not a remnant of himself, barely a shadow his original, a crumbling building that has hardly anything left in it's ruins, a witness to his former beauty, grandeur and greatness?
[9] Yes, he himself has thrown himself from the high peak by his free will, which he has corrupted, down from the walls and has thus fallen to the bottom. Behold, the dream is not bad! And therefore also the results!
[10] I tell you, verily, humanity has become an ancient, very weathered and rugged ruin. But the "ruins" do not know that many great treasures are still buried under their rubble. Therefore, the "treasure diggers" have come to search for the treasures under the ruins. Behold, this is the ultimate purpose!
[11] But the Lord must have a good reason why he now lets Himself be "harnessed to the cart" like a beast of burden! But finally everything will have to come to the drawbar and pull along with the cart and nestle under the yoke!
[12] Behold, the results bear witness to this! Let him who has a light now let it burn into the full day! Amen.
[13] These things say the First and the Last. Amen, Amen, Amen.
