Printing the New Word
9th June 1844
Oh Lord! See, I have already received so much grace from you that I cannot be surprised enough at the large amount. Also the significance of the grace given is so great and sublime that I can never measure it. – Should this holy light only remain my own and my few friends? Or shouldn't it rather be printed for all people in the world? And if it should go public, the question arises: How, when and where? Oh Lord! I sincerely ask you to let me know!
[1] I know best that what I give you is great and important, and in what way. The "how, when and where for the world" is a question for which an effective answer – as the world – is not ripe! But I tell you:
[2] The world is now like a person who has a badly upset stomach after a bad meal, so that even the very best food becomes disgusting to him. If you put them in front of him, he will immediately feel sick to the point of vomiting, and he will flee the best dish!
[3] Behold, this is exactly what My word will do to the world! The world would flee it and get annoyed with it in many ways and would condemn and curse it because it is not given for it’s interests, but only for the interests of the spirit, which the world no longer has for a long time!
[4] But this My great, living gift of grace has the purpose of passing over into the world, but only when the corrupted world will feel hunger for My meal again!
[5] But now the Roman church is already causing the hunger. How? By her bad meal and by the deterioration of the soul's stomach caused by this very meal. These will then for a time flee all food and thus be put into a just hunger; but then with great greed reach for this My true heavenly bread and be satisfied with it for eternal life!
[6] See, so I want it! Because the stupid, wicked world did not yet become smart enough through all the nameless torments that it had to endure through the whore of Babel, and they still are making a courageous fuss from all sides, out of nothing but shameful, worldly considerations. Therefore I strike such a world with triple blindness, so that it may go all the more surely into the old, but now newly mended and even artfully straightened thread, so that then Babel will deal with such a captive world in a way which history has no example to show!
[7] But this I also say, that this hustle and bustle of Babylon will last only for a very short time, and soon one will discover many times what the whore is actually up to! But then ten times woe to the great whore! Every dog on the chain should fare better than the whore, if the old, but well-fastened mask is taken off of her! No-one in the world has ever experienced greater shame and disgrace, and no-one has ever had a harsher punishment!
[8] This time Babel will grow quickly, for it has a well-fertilized soil in the princes of the world. While the first path was laborious, since Babel first had to examine with it’s servants how the soil is, it will now rise all the more quickly, because it knows it’s territory well and, from old experience, knows what it must do to reach the desired goal of a ruler! But it is because of the speedy attainment of this goal that this ruler is just as soon brought to full ruin.
[9] And see, in exactly this sure result lies a main preparation for the revelation of this My word. Because otherwise it would have to put up with the condemnation judgment from the side of this whore, which is not in My order for this time and for all times.
[10] You of course think that the Lutherans as well as all other denominations would certainly receive this My Word in many ways with the greatest eagerness ?! I certainly know best how many
there are who thirst for it! But I say once and for all: among many millions, several thousands do not make a difference!
[11] For the better ones is now provided for everywhere. Therefore the few chosen ones need this word of Mine before the time, less than the immensely great and overly stupid world-greatness! In due time, however, it will come to all who will desire it in their hearts!
[12] But is it not in the Scriptures: "Many are called, but only a few are chosen!?" See, so it is here too! But you few chosen ones are extremely happy that you belong to the chosen ones, and rejoice in what you have received! But the world does not care whether, how, when and where it will receive it, for verily, this is by no means worthy of My favor!
[13] I tell you, whoever is worthy shall be redeemed, like Lot in Sodom and Noah in his day! For the unworthy, however, I have no other gifts than those that every earthly day brings with it! In the time of Abraham, I gave the great promise to Abraham alone, although the earth already had many hundreds of thousands of inhabitants at that time. If that was all right then, why shouldn't it be so now? But I am still the same as in the time of Abraham, and so do now as I did then.
[14] I always reveal Myself to only a few who are ripe and to whom My word does not become a judgment. But if several become ripe through My care, then I want to free them too – like the children of Abraham from the Egyptian bondage once – at the right time!
[15] So do not ask: how, when and where? But do what you have to do for now; I will take care of everything else. Without your merit and without your effort, I have given you this grace, because you have never been without sin before Me! And so your brothers also received it without their worries!
[16] So it should also go with the publication of this word! Before that, however, a great woe must come from the whore over a large part of the world. Woe to all those states that now help the harlot to the throne, and that they should secure their thrones! Verily, these will fall from their thrones greater and farther than the two poles of heaven stand apart! But don't be afraid of it! For I will always protect Mine, and never should a hair be bent on their heads.
[17] And now I think the answer to your question should be sufficiently extensive. So be satisfied with it, because more is indeed not necessary in this regard! Finally I just mention that your friends should also take this as a fully valid note. And they too should let Me worry and follow My advice, so everything will go the best way in My name. Amen.
