The Third Testament
XIII. The Transformation and Consecration of the World and Creation
Chapter 57 - Reversion and Renewal in all Human Areas
New and More Profound Knowledge
1 The time
is coming when spiritual revelations will reveal the light-filled path to men,
so that they may know the secrets hidden in the bosom of creation.
2 The light
of my Spirit will reveal to you the way to acquire the true science that
enables man to be recognized and to gain obedience from the creatures around
him and from the natural forces of creation, thus fulfilling my will that man
should subdue the earth. But this will only happen when the Spirit of man, enlightened
by conscience, has imposed its power and light on the weaknesses of the body.
(22, 19)
3 Already
the day is near when men will understand the meaning of the Spirit, because
many who think they are believers do not believe, and others who think they see
do not see. But once they grasp the truth, they will realize that it would be
childish, unjust and unreasonable to continue to feed a being belonging to
another life with fruits of the world.
4 Then they
will seek the light in the religions, and in their spiritual fear and their
agonizing desire to find the truth, they will abolish the falsehood of the
teachings and weed out all superficial and outward things they find in the
various cults until they discover the divine essence. (103, 42)
5 Mankind
will certainly grow weary of continuing to sow hatred, violence, and
selfishness. Every seed of hatred it sows will multiply in such a way that its
powers will not be sufficient to reap its harvest.
6 This
unforeseen and beyond her human power will stop her on her breathtaking and
maddening course. After this I will perform a miracle in all hearts, making
charity blossom where there was only egoism.
7 Men will
again grant me all perfection, omniscience, and highest righteousness. They
will remember that Jesus said, "No leaf of the tree moves without the will
of the Father. For today, according to the opinion of the world, the leaf of
the tree, the living beings and the stars move at random. (71, 30)
8 When my
voice is heard in a spiritual way in humanity, men will feel something
vibrating that has always been in them, although it could not express itself in
freedom. It will be the Spirit who, encouraged by the voice of his Lord, will
stand up and respond to my calls.
9 Then a
new age will begin on earth, for you will no longer look at life from below,
but will look, recognize and enjoy it from the heights of your spiritual
upliftment. (321, 38 - 39)
10 Only
when it is no longer the mind that prompts the Spirit to observe and delve into
science, but when the Spirit lifts and instructs the mind, will man discover
that which at present seems to him to be unfathomable, and which is
nevertheless destined to be revealed to him as soon as he has spiritualized his
intelligence. (295, 37)
11 I have
told you that the time will come when the light will appear in all places, in
all countries, on all continents. That light will shine according to man's
spiritual training. But through the same, a new and more accurate conception of
creation will be formed, a new concept of spirituality. In this way a new stage
of spiritual development will begin. (200, 41)
12 When men
come to think universally in love, each one will seek to perfect himself, to
better serve and do justice to others. Every fear of punishment will be
superfluous; man will obey the laws not out of fear but out of conviction. Only
then will mankind have developed spiritually and intelligently. (291, 25)
13 When
this my seed has risen in the heart of the peoples that make up humanity, there
will be an absolute change in the lives of men. How great will be the
difference that they will show both in their human lives and in their spiritual
worship of God, when one makes the comparison between the way of living,
believing, worshipping, "fighting" and thinking of the people of
former times and those who live spirituality.
14 From
that time of fanaticism, idolatry, materialization, and absurd dogmas of faith,
no stone will remain upon another. All errors bequeathed by your ancestors and
yourselves to future generations will be removed. All that does not contain an
essence of good and truth will not endure. But all the good that you have
inherited, they will preserve.
15 This
teaching, which is presented in a more spiritual form than in past times, will
have to fight among men, peoples, churches, and sects in order to prevail and
take root. But as soon as the short time of confusion is over, peace will come
to men, and they will rejoice when they take from my words the meaning that it
has always held.
16 The
ideas about my divinity, about spiritual life, and about the purpose of your
existence will be put into the right channels, because every man will be a good
interpreter of all that has been told you by your master, his messengers and
prophets in parables and allegories.
17 That
expression was only partially understood by men. It was the teaching which was
intended for them according to their increasing spiritual and intellectual
capacity. But since they wanted to know everything at once, they became
entangled in more and more contradictions and misconceptions, because they gave
material interpretations to what could only be interpreted in a spiritual way.
(329, 22 - 26)
Enlightenment through people sent by God
18 I have
promised you to send spirits of great light to live among you. These are just
waiting for the time to approach the earth, to incarnate and to fulfill a great
mission of restoration.
19 If then
those spirit beings live in this world, what will you have to teach them?
Verily, I tell you: Nothing! For they will come to teach, not to learn.
20 You will
be astonished to hear them speak from childhood on profound things, to see them
talking with scientists and theologians, astonishing adults by their
experience, and recommending the right way to children and young people.
21 Blessed
is the home that receives in its bosom one of these spirit beings. How heavy
will be the burdens of atonement for those who seek to prevent the fulfillment
of the commission of my messengers! (238, 30 - 31)
22 I tell
you again that you will not be lacking in the world of men who are endowed with
great light, who will light your way and sow your life with love.
23 Mankind
has always had the presence of those men on earth, but there are times coming
when great legions of high spirits of light will come into the world, who will
eliminate the false world you have created to build a new one, where you
breathe peace and rule the truth.
24 They
will suffer much under the wickedness of men. But this is nothing new, for none
of God's messengers has escaped persecution, ridicule and hostility. They must
come into the world and dwell on it, because their presence on earth is
necessary.
25 They
will come and lovingly address the hearts of men. Their word, imbued with the
Father's righteousness, will strike the pride and joy of all those who have
replaced the garment of humility of their Spirit with the splendor of vanity,
pride, false power, and false glory.
26 These
will be the first who will arise and point to my messengers with fingers
trembling with wrath. But this will serve so that my servants may give great
testimony of the truth they have brought to the world in every trial to which
they are subjected.
27 At
present you do not know in what ways of human life they will appear. But I tell
you that some will appear in the bosom of the great religious communities. They
will fight for the unity and spiritual harmony of all men.
28 Others
will rise among the scientists and show with the fruit of their inspirations
that the true end purpose of science is man's spiritual perfection, not his
impoverishment and destruction.
29 So in
all areas of life my servants will come to light, who will carry my law in
their hearts and confirm with words and works all that I have spoken to you in
this time. (255, 43 - 47)
The transformation of man
30 I
prophetically announce to you a new world and a spiritualized humanity, but
when this word is made known, it will again not be believed.
31
Generation after generation will pass away, the arrogance of men will unleash
storms and floods, plagues and plagues, and the wailing of mankind will shake
the space.
32 But
after all this, the new inhabitants of the earth will begin a life of
introspection and spiritualization, taking advantage of the immeasurable
treasure of experience that past generations have left them, and the divine
seed will begin to sprout.
33 The
divine seed exists in every Spirit, since it has come forth from Me, and just
as your children inherit the traits or character of their parents, so will
spirit beings eventually reveal what they have inherited from their Heavenly
Father: love (320, 9 - 11)
34 After
the new flood the rainbow will shine as a symbol of peace and of the new
covenant which mankind will make spiritually with their Lord.
35 You must
prepare yourselves for a hard fight, for you will all have to fight against the
dragon of evil, whose weapons are glory, hatred, earthly power, licentiousness,
vanity, selfishness, lies, idolatry, and fanaticism - all powers of evil born
of the human heart, against which you will have to fight with great courage and
faith until you have defeated them.
36 When the
dragon of your passions has been slain by your weapons of light, a new world
will appear before the eyes of men - a new world, though it be the same; but it
will appear more beautiful. For then men will use it for their welfare and
progress, instilling an ideal of spiritualization in all their actions.
37 The
hearts will be ennobled, the minds of men will be enlightened, the Spirit will
be able to bear witness to his existence. All good things will flourish, all
uplifting things will serve as seeds for human works. (352, 61 - 64)
38 Man has
sunk to the bottomless pit, and to that point his conscience has accompanied
him in waiting for the right time to be heard. Soon this voice will be heard in
the world with such great violence as you cannot yet imagine.
39 But this
will cause humanity to rise up from its abyss of pride, materialism, and sin,
to wash itself in the tears of its repentance, and to begin to move upward on
the path of spiritualization.
40 I will
stand by all my children, for I am the resurrection and the life that raises
the "dead" from their graves.
41 In that
life which I am offering to mankind today, men will do my will and renounce out
of love the freedom of will, convinced that whoever does the Father's will is
neither a servant nor a slave, but a true child of God. Then you will know true
happiness and perfect peace, which are the fruit of love and wisdom(79, 32).
42 I say to
you that in this "third time" - even if it seems impossible to you -
the renewal and salvation of mankind will not be difficult, since the work of
redemption is divine work.
43 It will
be my love that brings men back to the way of light and truth. My love, which
penetrates secretly into every heart, caresses every Spirit, manifests itself
through every conscience, will transform the hard rocks into sensitive hearts,
will make spiritualized beings out of materialistic men and men of good, peace
and goodwill out of hardened sinners.
44 I speak
to you in this way because no one knows better than I the development of your
Spirit, and I know that today's man, in spite of his great
"materialism", his love for the world and his passions developed to
the greatest sin, lives only for the appearance of "flesh" and
material life. I know: as soon as he feels in his Spirit the loving touch of my
love, he will quickly come to me to rid himself of his burden and follow me on
the path of truth, which he unconsciously longs to walk. (305, 34 - 36)
45 Be
vigilant, and you will be witnesses of the conversion of those who had denied
me, as you will also see the return of those who had strayed from the true way.
46
Scientists who dedicated their lives to the search for elements and forces of
destruction will, when they feel their judgment approaching, return to the way
of truth to dedicate their last days to the moral and material reconstruction
of the world.
47 Others,
who in their arrogance have tried to take my place in the spirit beings, will
descend from their throne seats to emulate me in humility. And also men who
once stirred up the nations and unleashed wars will recognize their crimes and
anxiously strive for the peace of men. (108, 39)
48 When my
light has penetrated into all hearts, and men who lead the nations, those who
teach them, and all who have the most important tasks to perform, are guided
and inspired by that higher light which is conscience, then you can trust one
another, then you can trust your brothers, because my light will be in all, and
in my light my presence and my justice of love will prevail. (358, 29)
49 My
teaching will be heard again by mankind, but not because my law has returned to
men, because it was always written in their Spirit. It will be men who return
to the way of the law.
50 This
world will be an image of the lost son of my parable. Like him, she will also
find the Father waiting for her in his place, to embrace her with love and sit
at his table to eat.
51 The hour
of this mankind's return to Me has not yet come, nor has any part of its
heritage remained for her, which she will spend in feasts and pleasures until
she is naked, hungry and sick, to then raise her eyes to her Father
52 It is
necessary to grant a few more "moments" to those who chase the goods
of the world, so that their disappointment may then be complete; so that they
may finally be convinced that the gold, power, titles, and pleasures of the
flesh will never give them the peace and welfare of their Spirit.
53 The hour
of self-examination in the light of conscience is drawing near for all mankind.
At that time, scholars, theologians, scientists, the rulers, the rich, and the
judges will ask themselves what the spiritual, moral, or material fruit was
that they harvested and that they can give mankind to eat.
54 After
this time many will return to me because they realize that despite the prestige
they enjoyed on earth, they lacked something to fill the emptiness into which
their spirit had fallen, which can only be nourished by the fruits of spiritual
life. (173, 19-20 + 57- 58)
55 Out of
the people of today without spirituality and love I will bring forth the
generations that have so often been prophesied through my word. But first I
will work on these peoples who today misunderstand each other, war against each
other and destroy each other.
56 When
then the execution of My judgment has passed over all, and the weeds have taken
root, a new humanity will begin to emerge, no longer bearing in its
"blood" the seed of discord, hatred, or envy, because the
"blood" of its parents was purified in the melting pot of pain and
remorse.
57 I will
receive them and say to them, "Ask, ask, and it will be given to
you", as I told you in the "Second Time". But today I add:
understand to ask. (333, 54)
Changes and upheavals in all areas of life
58 the
material world, the planet, is not near its dissolution, but the end of this
world of errors and sins, of darkness and bad science is brought about by the
light of my teaching, and on its ruins I will build a new world of progress and
peace (135, 5)
59 Great
will be the transformation that mankind will suffer within a short time. Social
organizations, principles, creeds, doctrines, customs, laws and all orders of
human life will be shaken to their foundations. (73, 3)
60 Men,
nations, races and peoples, they will all have to follow the Divine Call when
the Spirit of man, weary of his imprisonment on earth, rises, breaks the chains
of materialism and emits the jubilant cry of spiritual liberation. (297, 66)
61 The time
will come when men will appear who truly love my law, who are able to unite the
spiritual law with that of the world, that is, eternal power with temporal
power.
62 It will
not happen to enslave the spirit beings as in times past, but to show them the
way to the light, which is the true freedom of the Spirit.
63 Then
morality will return to the bosom of families; there will be real places of
education and spirituality in your customs and habits. It will be the time when
conscience will let its voice be heard, and when my children will communicate
with my divinity from Spirit to Spirit, when the races will merge.
64 All this
will be decisive for the disappearance of many differences and disputes; for -
although your world is so small - you have not yet understood how to live
together as one family, you have not been able to offer Me a uniform form of
worship.
65 Ancient
Babylon has condemned you to this separation of peoples and races, but the
building of my spiritual temple in the heart of men will free you from this
atonement and make you truly love one another. (87,10)
66 A time
will come when man's desire to develop his Spirit higher will be so burning
that he will use all means at his disposal to transform this valley of tears
into a world where harmony reigns, that he will accomplish "the
impossible", that he will go to the point of sacrifice and superhuman
effort to prevent wars.
67 It will
be those people who will bring this world up, who will remove the cup of
suffering from human life, who will rebuild all that past generations have
destroyed in their blind striving for power, in their materialization and
imprudence.
68 They
will be the ones who will watch over true worship for Me - that worship without
fanaticism or outward and useless ritual acts. They will try to make mankind
understand that the harmony between human laws and spiritual laws and their
fulfillment is the best worship that men can offer to God. (297, 68 - 69)
69 The time
of rites, altars and church bells is now coming to an end among men. Idolatry
and religious fanaticism will show their last signs of life. That time of
struggle and chaos will come, which I have continuously announced to you.
70 When
then, after the storm, peace will have returned to all spirit beings, men will
no longer build royal palaces in my honor, nor will the crowds of people be
called together by the sound of bells, nor will those who feel great exercise
power over the masses of people. The time of humility, fraternity, spirituality
will come, which brings with it equality of spiritual gifts for mankind. (302,
37)
71 In the
present day the reaper is present, with the order to cut down every tree that
does not bear good fruit. In this great struggle only justice and truth will
prevail.
72 Many
churches will disappear, some will remain. In some the truth will shine forth,
in others only deceit will be offered. But the sickle of justice will continue
to cut until every seed that exists on earth is sifted. (200, 11)
73 This is
the continuation of my teachings, but not the end of times, as man interprets
it. The world will continue to orbit in space, the spirit beings will continue
to come to earth and incarnate to fulfill their destiny. Humans will continue
to populate this planet, and only the way of life among humans will change.
74 The
changes that human life is undergoing will be great, so great that it seems to
you that one world is coming to an end and another is coming into being. (117,
14)
75 To this
you are all moving, towards that life of joy and peace, not towards the abyss
and "death", as your heart believes it to be.
76 Although
you still have to experience much bitterness before the time of your
spiritualization comes. But neither death, nor war, nor pestilence, nor hunger
will stop the course of life and the spiritual development of this humanity. I
am stronger than death, and therefore I will give you back to life if you
should perish, and will let you return to earth whenever it is necessary.
77 I still
have much to reveal to you, beloved mankind, my Book of Divine Wisdom still
holds many surprises. (326, 54)
My peace be with you !
