Divine Revelation
My beloved sons and daughters, not very long ago I made known to you through My word of revelation that the final battle has begun. Since the great majority of you can imagine little or nothing when you hear the words “final battle,” because you are relatively well off and because in your regions there is no sign of a battle in the sense of a global military conflict, My word is indeed heard, but it is not recognized in its depth. This also means that hardly anyone gives thought to the profound upheavals that lie ahead, to how they can be faced in the right way, and to the opportunities open to those who are willing to contribute their positive part to the changes.
The upheavals of which I speak were prepared long in advance. In your time they are appearing in their first forms and must now, whether people like it or not, be recognized because they can no longer be ignored. The Western countries are affected first and foremost, yet hardly any country will remain entirely untouched, if only because your media spread throughout the world the images of people who, for various reasons, are leaving their homeland.
What makes it so difficult for you to assess the final battle, both in terms of time and in its scope, is your ignorance of who is pulling the strings in the background and of the highly sophisticated way in which this is being done. Time, as you know, plays a role only in your material dimension; outside it, time has no meaning. Preparations such as those concerning the coming events are therefore never made hastily; rather, they are based on a plan whose origin lies in what you call the Fall. The goal of the opposing forces, which they have never abandoned, is to seize power by influencing and controlling human beings, although after My act of redemption it should be clear to them that they can no longer attain this goal.
Everything they set in motion in past times, especially over the course of the last centuries, has aimed and still aims at stirring up fears, fostering uncertainty, inflaming aggression, creating chaos, and thereby turning existing orders upside down and destroying them. In this way the continuous further development of humanity is to be prevented. Darkness has considered every means acceptable for this purpose, while measures and methods have varied according to necessity. During the flourishing of early Christianity and afterward, it was the alteration of My teaching of love; in the Middle Ages it was the spiritual ignorance of human beings that necessarily and deliberately arose from that distortion and that still has the same frightening extent today as it did then; later came the misuse of your scientific discoveries, and finally the deliberately promoted wealth of a privileged few and, with it, the targeted impoverishment of large parts of humanity.
In My revelations I have repeatedly and quite deliberately pointed to the activity of the dark forces, which—being invisible to you—operate from the subtle-astral realm, cannot therefore be perceived by you, and so, despite many indications and warnings, are not taken seriously. “By their fruits you shall know them,” I said as Jesus of Nazareth. If you know this biblical saying and look toward the future full of questions and many fears, how can you ignore the fact that it is My adversaries, your seducers, who betray themselves through the fruits their actions have produced? Who thereby reveal themselves as the originators of the seed that “the people” must now bring in as the harvest?
Ignorance of the fact that everything—absolutely everything—is communication and therefore necessarily involves an exchange of energy has led human beings to go through life blind and helpless. No one can have an inner feeling, form a thought, speak a word, or perform an action without coming into contact with energies of a similar kind. According to the law of attraction, these are energies that correspond to those emanating from the person. On the one hand, therefore, a human being attracts what corresponds to him; on the other hand, energies—which by no means have to be merely impersonal energy fields but are embodied primarily by negative beings—seek out those people who have negative weak points in their character that vibrate in harmony with them. They then make use of such people.
Thus, among other things, My image as a God of love and a merciful Father was indeed distorted by human beings into an image of a God of punishment and eternal damnation; but the originators invisible to you were forces that seduced power-hungry people of weak character, through their faults and inclinations, into actions that served evil—which changes nothing about the guilt of those who were seduced, for they not only should have known better, they did know better. Through their own sinfulness, however, they fell into such a low vibration of soul and their consciousness became so restricted that in the end they were nothing more than willing henchmen.
This satanic procedure, which is found in every area of politics, religion, and society, is as old as humanity itself, and the opposing side will continue to practice it successfully until human beings have developed in character and walk the way of love lived out that I walked before you as Jesus. No sphere of life—among no people, no culture, no worldview—is exempt from this influence, and that is why chaotic conditions outside law and order will arise throughout the world.
On the other hand, wherever anything in the world is changed for the better, the positive, the more beautiful, the more valuable, the forces of love are at work in the most varied forms. That should give you courage and fill you with joy. There is no change toward the good that is not prepared, accompanied, supported, and carried out by love and its countless helpers. It is always the one selfless and unconditional power that created everything, sustains everything, and will bring back to itself everything that has fallen. This also concerns those who are in the process of stirring up unrest and poverty in many countries, causing large numbers of people to leave—and still more to leave—their homelands because of the economic and social conditions prevailing there. The forces of darkness have begun to mix the peoples, knowing very well that in doing so they will create chaos on both sides, destabilize structures that have grown over time, and weaken long-established values.
A great migration of peoples has begun. Yet every crisis also contains, for those who want to learn, the opportunity for inner maturation with its many facets. Whoever is not prepared to accept the time ahead as a learning process that also concerns him personally will not be able to recognize the coming events as a crisis with a learning character. For him it will not appear as a situation that can be mastered successfully with the right inner attitude. He will not allow Me aboard as the pilot who wants to guide him safely through the worst storms. He will have to take great care not to go under, not to be caught in the whirlpool that will pull many into the depths.

I have now allowed you a look behind the scenes. You now know that what appears in the visible world is only a distorted image of what is being prepared and in part already carried out in the invisible world, and that it exceeds every dimension of your imagination. But do not make the mistake of falling into resignation and paralysis now, forgetting, amid fear and unrest, who has addressed you with these serious words: It is I, your God and Father, who is infinite love and embodies omnipotence, who has all power and every possibility to turn everything toward the good and ultimately bring it to a good end; and who does so—without error, as no one else in all creation can—for there is nothing that can resist My love forever!
And do not forget either what spiritual abilities I have placed within you and what true greatness you embody as My sons and daughters from My glory! Remember that the bond between Me and you can never be severed; that through this connection—which is more intimate than anything you can imagine—you are granted a protection capable of withstanding even the worst attacks, if you are willing to make use of this protection.

When I speak in My revelations of the battle of darkness against the light, you often picture two camps facing one another. The picture is not entirely accurate, for these are not rigid fronts watching each other and occasionally rushing forward. If an image is needed at all, the comparison with a game of chess would come closest to helping you understand. Just as, on a chessboard—once the game has begun—the pieces leave their places after only a short time and move on the opponent’s territory, so approximately can you imagine the confrontation between good and evil. One side makes a move; the other considers a countermove and carries it out. Thus the battle surges back and forth, and at first glance—especially to the inexperienced—Black sometimes appears to have the advantage. Yet the outcome of the game has long since been decided: White had the first move, White plays without error, White will win!
Applied to the whole process of creation and to events in your world, this means: Darkness will—must—lose this battle. My spiritual laws, which operate incorruptibly everywhere and always and from which no one can escape, ensure this. While the opposing side works with cunning, lies, deception, and seduction and pays no respect to free will, love—respecting the freedom of its children—acts differently: it enlightens, addresses their longing, gives courage, strengthens, protects, and gives itself.
Whoever now believes that with such “gentle methods” love, the light, could never prevail over evil, over darkness, is mistaken. He forgets one—the—decisive fact: whoever acts against the commandment of love automatically places himself under the law of cause and effect. This means that he will be confronted with the consequences of his unlawful actions until he comes to recognition and reflection. He himself experiences the hell he has prepared for others.
And there is a second reason for the superiority of love: the vibrational potentials of the two sides could hardly be more different. On the one side stands the highest, purest consciousness, which sees through everything and knows everything; on the other side, although there is high intelligence and sophisticated cunning, there is nevertheless a restricted consciousness. It has long since lost the overview, so that it cannot grasp, indeed cannot even begin to sense, the plans and methods of the light, while conversely the intentions of darkness are like an open book to all who come from the light.
It is unimaginable to you how My justice ensures that each person encounters exclusively what is intended for him. Yet there is an explanation that, although greatly simplified, can bring the principle closer to your understanding:
The human soul, which after so-called death goes into the realms beyond, is the bearer of everything the person has thought, said, and done in his life. Into it he writes his own destiny. Into it he continually places good and evil and thus shapes his soul himself. Its lighter or less light-filled condition, its higher or lower vibration, determines what will come to the person. Here the law of attraction operates with absolute precision. What is not intended for him will not reach him. But what is there to teach him something, or to have him make amends for something or work something off, will come to him! In full measure or softened, depending on the extent to which, through recognition of his guilt, he has already “turned back.”
I deliberately return to this subject again and again in My revelations because I want to make the consciousness of My human children even more sensitive than before to this fact: Everything lies within you yourselves—what you do and fail to do, your past, and your future destiny! But here too you find the key to change, to My helping hand, to My protection. Here the “red telephone” is installed that connects you with Me in fractions of a second. Here lies the solution to every problem—to every personal problem, but also to all the problems of the world. For the “world” is nothing other than the sum of its inhabitants. The world is what My children have made of it: either through the influence of darkness or through their decision for the light.
*
What your soul carries as shadow you call guilt of the soul, or karma. I have brought home to you how this karma shapes your life. Alongside personal karma there is also group karma, which rests upon communities—including religious communities—or peoples. Decisions against the law of love are not always purely personal in character. Membership in a people or ethnic group alone can bind an individual into that community, whose actions and conduct he then shares. Not infrequently burdens from previous lives also draw the soul back to the place where it previously violated divine law together with the community. Such a group burden can persist for many centuries and longer, depending on whether insight, readiness for peace, and reconciliation come about or not.
And very much as the opposing forces influence the individual, so too is their procedure when entire peoples do not come to rest. What still vibrates unlawfully in the souls is stimulated through the ego, through justified and unjustified claims and expectations. Emotions are stirred up until they escalate. Often the opposing forces create external conditions that cause people, who are not infrequently fighting for survival and for their freedom, to defend themselves or to flee. Once something has been set in motion, it is easy to keep the momentum going or increase it. That is what you are experiencing at present. That is what is intended: to bring about poverty and dissatisfaction on one side, and then on the other side—which is divided, unprepared, and overwhelmed—to sow and foster discord and disagreement.
This calculation will work if your Western countries fail to speak with one voice; if they fail to remember their Christian values; and if, despite all the love of neighbor that is required, they neglect their vigilance. Vigilance, clarity, the gift of seeing through the motives of your neighbor, and action resulting from this in divine order cannot be learned like a language or a trade. They are aspects of an open consciousness shaped by deeds of love; they are the fruits of a truly Christian consciousness, not of a consciousness that merely gives itself a Christian coloring by its name while in reality recognizing the connections no better than everyone else.

The image of the chess game is intended as a help so that you can better feel your way into what has been planned, what has been prepared, and what is now being put into practice. Applied to creation, you see an unceasing collision and interlocking of two forces, of which the dark force, since the beginning of the Fall, has striven to enlarge its camp by taking possession of human beings and souls, because only in this way can it secure its energy. It is a constant succession of actions and reactions, comparable to a battle in which each side tries to expand and strengthen its position.
Since the theater of conflict is your Earth, people are inevitably needed who, consciously or unconsciously—because their inner being is attuned either to the vibration of love or to that of the seducer—allow themselves to be used as “recruits.” The rest, the silent majority, are followers who sooner or later will find themselves faced with the choice of making their decision.
If you take My word deeply into yourselves, you will no longer underestimate My opponent and yours. You will learn to see with your inner eyes and hear with your inner ears. In doing so, some things will come to your recognition that at first may frighten or anger you. But the point is not to react in a human-emotional way; rather, while recognizing the present enemy and his intentions, you are nevertheless to see in him the brother and the sister, even if this will not always be easy for you at first. If you take refuge in Me and ask for My help, I will support your efforts; for rightly understood love of one’s enemies is, as you would say, a “high art.”*)
With the help of the logic of the heart that I teach you, it should be possible for you to follow through on a thought you have recognized as right and, by thinking for yourselves, to deepen the insights I have already given you in this revelation about the procedure of the opposing side. For a moment, protected by Me, put yourselves in the position of your attacker. Would you leave it at merely overwhelming the Western states with poor and the poorest refugees—even though this alone already brings those countries into conflicts and here and there to the limits of what is currently manageable? Would you not use the opportunity to smuggle in unnoticed, together with the stream of those in need, as many of your vassals as possible, who would strive to put your dishonest intentions into practice? Who, in ideological and social spheres, thus from within, would promote your external efforts to create unrest, insecurity, and chaos with the aim of resistance and revolt?
If you let this opportunity pass, you would be a poor commander. And the rulers of the opposing side are not! But the fact that the great majority of people, because of their lack of interest and their daily distractions, do not even dream of such a thing is evidence that darkness, with its potential and its plans, is underestimated or, as is generally the case, not recognized at all. Therefore assume that everything feasible will be implemented and enforced by every available means.
This confronts you with the problem of, on the one hand, having to give your support to your brothers and sisters who seek help, while on the other hand, within the framework of divine laws, having to protect yourselves from becoming victims of the forces that use this great willingness to help for their own purposes of infiltration and influence; forces that try, both outwardly and inwardly, to pursue and carry out aims hidden from you.

Back to our chess game. White has its strategy just as Black does. White will not stand idly by when Black moves its pieces. White sends its fighters into the struggle. In the figurative sense, these are the men and women who know the teaching of Jesus—the teaching of love for God and one’s neighbor—profess it, and should now be equipped to confront the prince of darkness and his followers with their weapons. The weapons could hardly be more different. I have already described them to you: on the one side cunning, lies, deception, and seduction; on the other side—love. Nothing else. Yet this is enough, provided it is love lived out, striving to follow its divine model of selflessness and unconditionality!
The teaching I brought to My human children was as easy to understand as anything in the world. But because after only a short time the seed of darkness began to grow, a teaching of love became a teaching of prohibitions, threats of punishment, rules of conduct, external forms, and more, which bore only the appearance of Christianity but was no longer truly alive because it was hollow within. A beautiful package arose, richly decorated with praise and homage to My name, with honors and descriptions of My glory. The heart of My teaching, the content of the package—namely the effort to put love into practice in everyday life—was completely lost. Instead, beautiful words praise My works, and richly adorned buildings speak of My greatness. In this way people believed and still believe, because they no longer knew better or did not want to know better, that they were proclaiming Me.
But I say to you: Proclaim My love!
This word of Mine is important in more than one respect for your present situation and for what will come, because it points you both toward right conduct toward those who are genuinely in need of help and toward lawful dealings with those who come in the wake of the refugees with double tongues and dishonest intentions. Beyond that, it is also intended to be a guideline for how you can be led through the coming time if you accept Me as your guide; and if—in contrast to those who are paid as “smugglers” by the frightened and fleeing—you entrust yourselves to one power, namely Mine, which neither leads you astray nor abandons you, but has solely your well-being of soul and body in view.
You know that My first concern is that your soul suffer no harm, that it be strengthened through experiences and thus become lighter and more filled with light. But that does not mean the body should be neglected. It is the vehicle of the soul, and it is a person’s task to keep it healthy by every means available to him. My endeavor is to preserve each of My children, as far as possible, from outward adversity as well. Whether this succeeds depends, on the one hand, on what burdens of soul are still present and, on the other, on the environment in which the individual lives and the circumstances to which he is exposed.
Some imagine that a request for protection or an effort to live according to My laws is a guarantee that nothing can happen to them in life. That is not so. I will not go into greater detail here because I have explained this point several times before. Keep in mind what I have told you about group karma and what I want to illustrate with the following image:
If war prevails in your country, with the usual consequences and shortages, surrender to Me does not mean that the war merely “takes place around you,” so that you notice nothing of it and can continue living as before. Nor does it mean that if your region is struck by a flood disaster, your property alone remains dry. Nor does it mean that you notice nothing of a severe storm at sea because you alone have found a windless spot in turbulent waters. In such cases many people are bound into the same destiny, from which they cannot “steal away” simply by calling on Me or promising Me that from now on they will follow My laws.
But if their wish to take My life as Jesus of Nazareth as their example is borne by love for Me and for their neighbor and comes from the heart, then I will take over the guidance of their lives. In this way they call Me aboard the ship of their life as their pilot. Then it is I who—as I have told you several times before—sets the course. And the more unconditional your yes is, the more possible it is for Me and for My many angels, who are your spiritual guides, to direct your destiny. Then much will already be softened in advance that otherwise would have had unpleasant consequences.
You can contribute greatly to making My help perceptible in your life by allowing the same love for which you ask Me to reach your neighbor in equal measure. The coming time offers more than enough opportunities for this. Here the practical meaning of what I expressed with the image of the chess game becomes clear:
The opposing forces launch a major offensive, and I then—after many preparations have already been made on My side—go with My faithful into the midst of these events. In all this confusion I thereby provide every willing person with the possibility of making great progress of soul through very concrete action, by making use of the opportunities offered by the offensive initiated by darkness. For them it will be a crisis that—viewed in the right spirit and met with corresponding right action—will move them a good way forward; it will offer them an opportunity to practice compassion and willingness to help to a degree that, without the external circumstances that have been brought about, could never have been learned in this way.
My sons and daughters, have courage! Remember your inner greatness! Remember the power I have placed within you and—if in freedom you wish it—stand at My side and proclaim My love through your deeds, through your life.
Amen
