Before the Second
Coming of
Christ there has been much made of destruction or judgment by Fire.
Although according to Lorber, the Deluge of
the Great Flood at the time of Noah was limited to the area of what is
now the Caspian Sea. (the ancient city of Hanoch,
the real Atlantis, rests 6000 ft. under the Caspian Sea in
keeping with Plato's description)
The Judgment by fire is supposed to be universal.
The New Revelation describes how cities will ignite. The catalyst that
will instigate this total Holocaust are laid out quite clearly as are the circumstances
reflecting the present day world.
What is interesting is that this event is preceded by, among other
natural catastrophes such as forest fires and fires of unprecedented
scale, the inundation of water along
shorelines (tsunamis).
The information provided by
Jakob Lorber is in keeping with traditional predictions of the "end
times." What is new and remarkable is the details being provided and
their logic.

The Fires That Are to Come! |
|
Every effort should be made to
understand Judgment Day or the Final 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 flames or should drown in water. The consequence of
this is also a judgment but who can we blame for this should we bring
it upon ourselves. Just as we cannot blame others
for our own acts of foolishness, the Creator should not be blamed for
our foolish actions. In this context judgment is not God punishing us. It is
us judging ourselves. It is an objective consequence within the laws of
Creation set into motion by human actions.
In the end we, individually or
collectively, are our own judge and condemn ourselves.

An
Excerpt from Great Gospel of John Book 8, Chapter 186 |
|
(The Lord:) [1] "A third kind of fire will consist in that I
shall already a few hundred years earlier awaken ever more enlightened
seers, prophets and servants who will teach the nations everywhere the truth
in My name, thereby delivering them from all kinds of delusions, deception
and falsehood which through false prophets and priests, even in My name,
will be paving the way for their downfall, the evil beginning of which has
already set in here and there.
[2] They will lead many people astray and at the same time accumulate
great earthly treasures and riches and will gain power and great authority.
However, through the third fire and its extremely bright light they will
lose everything and be completely ruined. The kings and princes, who are
willing to help them, will lose all their power, their wealth and their
thrones, for I shall awaken My own kings and generals who will defeat them
and, thus, the former night of hell and its messengers on earth will come to
an end among men.
[3] This night, which now consists in the heathenish blind and senseless
ceremony called divine service, will exist also in those times, but through
the third kind of fire from the heavens it will be completely destroyed and
annihilated. For falsehood must be defeated in its fight against the light
of truth from the heavens, just as natural night must succumb before the
rising sun. It must flee into its dark caves and depths; and once a person
is standing in the light, he will no longer seek the night.
[4] I have now described to you the third kind of fire which has a most
destructive effect upon men’s benightedness, and so I will still show you a fourth kind of fire through which the earth, mankind and all creatures shall
be purified at the time of My Second Coming. This kind of fire will consist
in all kinds of great natural cataclysms, especially in those places on
earth where men will have built excessively large and magnificent cities,
wherein will be governing the greatest haughtiness, lovelessness,
corruption, false courts of justice, power, authority, indolence and at the
same time extreme poverty and all kinds of need and misery, brought about by
the boundless epicurism of need and misery, brought about by the boundless epicurism of the great and mighty.
[5] In such cities, as a result of excessive greed, there
will also be established all kinds of factories on a large scale, in which,
instead of human hands, fire and water, combined with thousands of ingenious
machines made from iron, will be doing the work. For the firing the very old
earth-coal will be used, which the people of that time will be procuring
from the depths of the earth in very large quantities.
[6] When through the power of fire this activity will have reached its
peak, the earth's atmosphere will in such spots be saturated with the
combustible types of ether which will then ignite here and there and
completely destroy such cities and regions, together with many of their
inhabitants. This will then be a great and effective purification, too.
However, what is not achieved by the fire brought about in this way will be
accomplished by all kinds of great storms. This will, of course, happen only
where it is needed, for without necessity nothing will be burnt or
destroyed.
[7] Thereby also the earth's atmosphere will be cleared of its noxious
vapors and nature spirits, and this will have a beneficial influence on all
other creatures on earth. It will also serve men's physical health in that
all the numerous and bad diseases of their body will cease to torment them
and people will remain healthy and strong to a ripe old age.
[8] Since the thus purified people will be standing in My light and at
all times actively and truly observe the commandments of love, the landed
property on earth will be distributed among men in such away that everyone
will have enough, so that with proper diligence he will never suffer need.
The heads of the communities and the kings, fully submitted to My will and
stand in My light, will see to it that there is never any need among the
people in their land. And I Myself will be visiting the people here and
there, strengthening and comforting them, always where I shall find the
greatest yearning and love for Me.
