Events to come Before the Second Coming of Christ
Every effort should be made to understand Judgment less as the result of the "wrath of God" and
more a consequence of our own actions.
If we can accept, for instance, that fire
is hot and water is wet and both are natural forces following
set laws, we should not be surprised if we are burned by the
flames of a fire and drown in the depths of water. The
consequence being the judgment. Just as we cannot blame others
for our own acts of foolishness Our loving Creator should not be
blamed for our foolish actions. In this context judgment
is not a blame. It is an objective consequence within the laws of Creation.
In the end we are our own judge and condemn ourselves.
Great Gospel of John Book 8, Chapter 51
[1] (The Lord:) "Therefore, let everyone be full of meekness and humility,
and thereby you will show each other the greatest and truest human honour
and live together in peace and harmony.
[2] Ambition and pride, however, bring forth discontent, vexation,
contempt, resentment, anger and, finally, vengeance, war and its evil
consequences. The arrogant and ambitious person is also full of selfishness
and greed; and because he wants to gain everything for himself alone, in
order to enhance his worldly importance, this sadly results in thousands
around him possessing nothing and having to live in the greatest poverty and
need. This was the case at the time of Noah and will be even more so in
the latter days of the new heathendom.
[3] This evil and totally hellish state among men is the judgment they
will be preparing for themselves. The vast number of the poor and oppressed
will finally rise against their arrogant oppressors and get rid of them.
That will be a second Deluge through the fire of wrath of the in the end too
mightily oppressed poor.
[4] Also a natural fire will at that time devastate many places, for out
of extreme worldly greed men - like noxious worms - will be penetrating into
the depths of the earth, there to seek - and also find - all kinds of
treasures. However, when they will have reached the mighty deposits of the
earth's buried forests, which they will be using for firing, the melting of
metals and many other things, the final judgment they have prepared for
themselves will be at their door.
[5] Those who will be living in the large cities of the earth's kings and
mighty will have to suffer most.
[6] So do remain at all times meek and humble and thereby in the true
love for your fellowman, then there will not be any judgment among you, for
where in those days people will be living within My order, no final judgment
will come to pass."
The preceding is an excerpt from The Great Gospel of
John by Jakob Lorber.
