Anarchy and need

8th September 1843

Oh Lord! What would be the easiest, safest and shortest way to remedy the anarchy in Spain and the misery in Ireland?

[1] The safest and most effective means are I, the Lord of heaven, of all worlds, of all peoples and principalities! – When the peoples of Spain and Ireland will seize Me, there will be peace and quiet in their lands.

[2] As long as this is not the case, the apple of contention shall not be taken from their lands. All political means, however subtle, should be fruitless, they may form junta after junta and hold repeal assemblies over and over, and yet this should help them little or nothing.

[3] For I alone am the Lord, and do according to my plan what I will. – Do you think then that my plans depend on a few years? Oh look, before Me a thousand years are like one day. And a bodily misfortune of the nations, which keeps them awake, is better than a happy night, in which hardly anyone is worth the trouble to think of me and to believe in his heart that everything depends on me and that I am also an ever-watchful Lord of all nations and masters of the world!

[4] But do you think that one should send these people good books and spiritually awakened people so that they might see the truth? Oh see, I have never let such means be lacking in any country. But if the field is a thoroughly bad ground and full of weeds, will the grain of wheat come up and bear fruit? Yes, individual stalks will probably shoot up; but they are neglected because their existence is of no common use. But when the weeds are mowed in the bad field, there is no outward consideration of the few individual stalks, there should only be beautiful and seed-rich among them, which the master of the field had his servants gather because of the good grain. Because such a stalk bears good fruit on bad ground, it will bear a better one in rich, weedless soil.

[5] But the evil causes must be set up, and pierced and ransacked through the land, that all weeds may perish; only then will the field become capable in time of fruitfully absorbing a good seed.

[6] So the countries you mentioned are being stirred up and laid waste, so that they may bear fruit in the right time. – Do you understand this? – Yes, I tell you: So it has to happen! For now the time has come when I let the weeds spoil and lay the lands fallow one after the other.

[7] The more of the weeds, the sooner this work should take place. Your country also faces an equal lot! Then I will spew out all tepid from my mouth and destroy all weeds to the ground in the fire of my wrath. – I say this, the Lord! Amen, amen, amen.
