New Years Blessing

31st December 1861

[1] So write! – At the end of the year I give you, who still hold on to Me and believe, a spark of what the coming year will bring.

[2] The best is that all you who hold to My name are to expect My constant love and grace. But whoever has this, he does not see in the world what it does and wants to do; for I alone am truly the Lord, and all destinies of men, whether great or small, rich or poor, powerful or powerless, are in My hand and power.

[3] The cloud, from which the all-illuminating lightning flashes now anew from dawn to dusk, stands steadfastly in the firmament of the spirit, and the old Babylonian superstition and it's lies and deceit sinks inexorably into the abyss. Must I not lead the rulers through trouble so that they too are enlightened so that they then no longer will give protection to the kingdom of darkness, of judgment and of death? Therefore put up with trouble for still a very short time! In a few moons, everything will have a completely different face, which you will have no need to be afraid of.

[4] Just think that I therefore let everything happen like today, which also does not please you, but still is full of blessings for this earth. In short, whoever is in My light, he also has nothing to worry about!

[5] But I will and shall now afflict pride and arrogance in a way of which no-one has yet thought – it will have to destroy itself in it's excesses like the old whore of Babylon; for both are children of one and the same spirit and have to destroy themselves.

[6] But all of you who are labored and loaded with all kinds of unnecessary fear, come to Me loaded full of love for Me in the heart, and I will refresh you all! With these words, accept My blessing for the coming year and for even longer and forever Amen. I say this to you.
