Phenomena of Light ....
BD 0748 20.1.1939
The Lord will intervene in world events at the right time, and from now on, in about forty days, widely visible celestial phenomena will become noticeable, and all attention will be directed to these, as the position of the sun can give no explanation for them. It is given to humans to investigate .... you will also be able to explain many things based on the laws of nature, but as soon as extraordinary phenomena do not allow for such natural explanations, the wise of the world are faced with a mystery. And this lies in the intention of the divine Creator. Where all human explanations are insufficient, questions then arise concerning infinity or a divine being ....
Therefore, you should note that divine power does not manifest itself in any other form than what is spiritually beneficial for the humans living on earth .... They must be able to recognize the guidance and omnipotence of God, provided they only have the will to do so .... but on the other hand, they must also have the possibility to remain completely indifferent to such phenomena if their will, in all stubbornness, cannot be directed toward spiritual understanding.
In immediate connection with these phenomena, the temperature will also be so extraordinary that people will ask about the cause of such striking changes, and the simplest solution will not be found .... that the general spiritual decline of earthly humans itself is the cause .... that due to the extremely strong activity of beings from the beyond, who are in the light and who .... are present in great number near the Earth to assist the beings on earth .... there is also a change in the entire atmosphere surrounding the Earth, because all spiritually ripe beings will manifest in a great glow of light, which, however, must mostly remain hidden from humans so as not to involuntarily alter their senses.
But now, if the Lord permits it for wise reasons, that beings of light appear in all their radiance, then this is both an act of grace out of love for the humans of the Earth and an extraordinary warning sign for all who are in great need of light .... the light of truth and recognition.
Only where the wisdom of the world is limited, where the "wise" are faced with a mystery, do people then connect the visible sign with spiritual pondering .... They seek to find an explanation, and if it cannot be found on earth and by reason, they quietly let themselves be led into the spiritual realm and seek there .... And blessed are those who find .... who pray for God's grace and enlightenment and then arrive at the right understanding.
So when these signs disturb the world, you know that the spiritual world is near the Earth .... Then seek contact with it, strive with all your will to surrender to these spiritual beings, and you will be able to see success in all spiritual work and also successfully oppose all evil powers, for if you willingly surrender yourselves to these luminous beings that make themselves known to you, they will fill you with an indescribable drive of spiritual activity through their love. They give you the ability to look ahead, for they are the messengers of heaven, sent from the Father to the Earth .... They are the forces that unite with the good on earth ....
Let yourselves be embraced by this power, which will only act as a blessing for you, and recognize, when such phenomena become visible, the working of God's love toward you, His children, which seeks to awaken or strengthen your faith. And be careful not to overlook such warnings, but take note of them. It is only a blessing for everyone if they do not close themselves off from the influence of these luminous beings but open their hearts and willingly let their power flow into them, which is only conducive to the soul and its progress. So wait patiently for the time that is not far away, so that it may be a time of grace for you ....
Amen
