fr-Chapter 55 - Purification of the Earth and Humanity in Judgment
The Warning Voice of God and Nature Before the Purifying Judgment
1. I have told you that a very great trial is coming upon all of humanity—so great that there has been nothing like it in the entire history of its centuries and ages.
2. Now you must understand that I speak to all your hearts, sending you messages and warnings in many forms, so that people may reflect and remain vigilant toward My law, like the wise virgins of My parable.
3. Will the peoples and the various nations of the world listen to Me? Will this people listen to Me, to whom I reveal Myself in this form? I alone know; but it is My duty as a Father to provide, through My children, every means for their salvation. (24, 80-81)
4. Truly, I tell you, if people do not cleanse themselves in this time of the stains they have caused in their souls, the forces of nature will come as heralds to announce My judgment and My glory and to purify humanity of every impurity.
5. Blessed are the men, women, and children who—when they realize the nearness of that judgment—praise My name, for they feel that the "Day of the Lord" has come. For their hearts will tell them that the end of the reign of evil is approaching. I tell you, these will be saved through their faith, their hope, and their good works. Yet how many of those living in those days will blaspheme God! (64, 67–68)
6. The paradise of the first humans was transformed into a valley of tears, and now it is nothing but a valley of blood. Therefore, today, having come to fulfill the promise given to My disciples, I awaken humanity from its spiritual slumber and give it My teaching of love to save it. I seek the souls destined to bear witness to My manifestations and My Word through their deeds in this time.
7. When those marked by Me are united by My Law, the earth and the stars will be shaken, and there will be signs in the heavens; for at that time the voice of the Lord will be heard from one end of the earth to the other, and His Divine Spirit, surrounded by the spirits of the righteous, the prophets, and the martyrs, will judge the spiritual and the material world. Then the time of the Holy Spirit will reach its full power. (26, 43-44)
8. Many nations have fallen into the deep abyss of materialism, and others are on the verge of falling; yet the pain of their fall will cause them to awaken from their deep slumber.
9. These are the nations that, after a time of splendor, experienced a decline and sank into the darkness of pain, vice, and misery. Today it is not a single people, but all of humanity, that is blindly rushing toward death and chaos.
10. The arrogance of the nations will be punished by My justice. Remember Nineveh, Babylon, Greece, Rome, and Carthage. In them you will find profound lessons of divine justice.
11. Whenever people have seized the scepter of power and allowed their hearts to be filled with godlessness, arrogance, and senseless passions, thereby dragging their peoples with them into degeneration, My justice has drawn near to strip them of their power.
12. But at the same time, I have lit a torch before them that illuminates the path to the salvation of their souls. What would become of humanity if, in the moment of their trials, I were to leave them to their own devices? (105, 45-47)
13. Spiritually, humanity sank from one abyss to another until it reached the point of denying and forgetting Me—to the extreme of denying itself by failing to recognize its very essence, its spirit.
14. Only My mercy will be able to spare humanity the pain of having to repeat the journey to come to Me. I alone, in My love, am able to provide the means along My children's path so that they may discover the path of salvation. (173, 21–22)
15. On the day when the floodwaters no longer covered the earth, I caused the rainbow of peace to shine in the firmament as a sign of the covenant that God made with humanity.
16. Now I say to you: O humanity of the "Third Era," you who are the same people who have gone through all these trials in which you have purified yourselves: You will soon experience a new chaos.
17. But I have come to warn the people I have chosen and all of humanity, to whom I have made Myself known in this time. Listen well, My children: Here is the Ark; enter into it; I invite you to do so.
18. For you, O Israel, the Ark is the observance of My Law. Everyone who follows My commandments during the most painful days, during the most severe time of trial, will be within the Ark, will be strong, and will feel the protection of My love.
19. And to all humanity I say once more: The Ark is My law of love. Everyone who practices love and mercy toward their neighbor and themselves will be saved. (302, 17-19)
20. I have always given you time to prepare and provided you with the means to save yourselves. Before I sent you My judgment to call you to account at the end of an age or a period of time, I manifested My love to you by warning you, awakening you, and exhorting you to repentance, to reform, and to do good.
21. Yet when the hour of judgment had come, I no longer paused to ask you whether you had already repented, whether you had already prepared yourselves, or whether you still persisted in evil and disobedience.
22. My judgment has come at the appointed hour, and he who knew how to build his ark in time was saved. But he who mocked when the hour of judgment was announced to him, and who did nothing for his salvation, had to perish. (323, 51)
The Power and Dominion of Evil Will Be Broken
23. Until now, it has not been human love that has prevailed in the world. As it has been since the dawn of humanity, it is violence that reigns and triumphs. He who has loved has been defeated as a victim of wickedness.
24. Evil has expanded its kingdom and grown strong on earth. Yet it is precisely at this time that I come to oppose those powers with My weapons, so that the kingdom of love and justice may be established among mankind.
25. First, I will fight. For in order to give you the peace of My Spirit, it is necessary that I wage war and eliminate every evil. (33, 32-33)
26. People will reach the end of their own path and return along it, reaping the fruits of all that they have sown—the only course of action through which repentance arises in the heart. For whoever does not recognize their transgressions can do nothing to make amends for their mistakes.
27. A new world is in preparation; the new generations will soon come; but first the hungry wolves must be eliminated, so that they do not prey upon the sheep. (46, 65-66)
28. A leprosy of a non-physical nature has spread across the earth, eating away at hearts and destroying faith and virtue. Covered in spiritual rags, people go about their lives, believing that no one can uncover this wretchedness because people do not see beyond what is material.
29. Yet the hour of conscience draws near; it is as if you were saying that the Day of the Lord or His judgment is at the door. Then shame will rise in some, and remorse in others.
30. Those who hear this inner voice, burning hot and relentless, will feel within themselves the fire that consumes, destroys, and purifies. Neither sin nor anything that is not pure can withstand this fire of judgment. Only the soul can withstand it, for it is endowed with divine power. Therefore, when it has passed through the fire of its conscience, it will rise anew, purified of its faults. (82, 58-59)
31. All pain caused by human beings is gathered into a single cup, which will be drunk by those who caused it. And those who never allowed themselves to be shaken by the pain will then tremble in their soul and body. (141, 73)
32. It is necessary that heaven be closed to all for a short time, and that it not open again until a single cry rises from the earth, because people recognize that the Father of all beings is one.
33. Truly, I tell you, I will subject this fratricidal and selfish world to judgment and purify it until I see love and light rising from it. Even to those who today lead their peoples to ruin, who are currently sowing and spreading all manner of vice, who have created their realm of injustice, I will assign the task of making amends: to combat the temptations, to eliminate corruption, and to uproot the tree of evil. (151, 14 + 69)
34. By exercising his free will, man has distorted his path of development until he had forgotten from whom he came; and he has reached the point where virtue, love, goodness, peace, and brotherhood seem alien to his very nature, and he regards selfishness, vice, and sin as the most natural and permissible things.
35. The new Sodom is upon the whole earth, and a new cleansing is necessary. The good seed will be saved, and from it a new humanity will be formed. My seed will fall upon fertile fields watered with tears of repentance, and it will sprout in the hearts of future generations, who will offer their Lord a higher form of worship. (161, 21-22)
36. I will allow the hand of man to bring destruction, death, and war, but only up to a certain limit. The injustice, corruption, delusion, and lust for power of men will not be able to go beyond this limit.
37. Then My sickle will come, and with wisdom it will cut down what My will determines. For My sickle is imbued with life, love, and true justice. But you, people, watch and pray! (345, 91)
38. Formerly, the earth was a valley of tears; at present, it is a valley of blood. What will it be tomorrow? A battlefield of smoking ruins over which the fire of judgment has passed, consuming sin and bringing down the pride of unloving people because they neglected their souls.
39. Likewise, the merchants of science will be cast out of the temple of wisdom because they profited from the light, because they defiled the truth. (315, 61-62)
40. Full of pride, the great nations rise up, boasting of their power, threatening the world with their weapons, proud of their intelligence and their science, unaware of the fragility of the false world they have created; for a light breath of My justice will suffice to make this artificial world vanish.
41. Yet it will be the hand of man himself that destroys his own work; it will be his mind that devises the means to destroy what he previously created.
42. I will ensure that only those human works that have borne good fruit for humanity endure, so that they may continue to be used for the benefit of future generations. But everything that serves a corrupt or selfish purpose will be destroyed in the fire of My relentless judgment.
43. Upon the ruins of a world created and destroyed by a materialistic humanity, a new world will rise, whose foundation will be experience, and whose goal will be the ideal of spiritual ascent. (315, 55-56)
Apocalyptic wars, epidemics, plagues, and destruction
44. You live in times of fear, in which people are being purified by emptying their cup of suffering to the dregs. Yet those who have studied the prophecies already knew that the moment was imminent when wars would break out everywhere because the nations do not understand one another.
45. It remains to be seen that unknown diseases and epidemics will appear among humanity and confuse the scientists. Yet when the pain reaches its peak among people, they will still have the strength to cry out: "God's punishment!" But I do not punish; it is you who punish yourselves when you deviate from the laws that govern your soul and your body.
46. Who has unleashed and defied the forces of nature, if not human folly? Who has defied My laws? The arrogance of scientists! But truly, I tell you, this pain will serve to uproot the weeds that have grown tall in the human heart.
47. The fields will be covered with corpses; even the innocent will perish. Some will die by fire, others by famine, and still others by war. The earth will tremble, the forces of nature will be set in motion, the mountains will spew forth their lava, and the seas will surge.
48. I will allow people to drive their depravity to the limit to which their free will permits, so that—horrified by their own deeds—they may feel true repentance in their souls. (35, 22-26)
49. The tree of knowledge will be shaken by the raging storm and drop its fruits upon humanity. Yet who has loosened the chains of those elements, if not man?
50. It is true that the first human beings also came to know pain in order to awaken to reality, to be roused to the light of conscience, and to conform to a law. But the developed, conscious, and educated human being of this age—how can he dare to desecrate the Tree of Life? (288, 28)
51. Epidemics will break out in the world, and a large part of humanity will perish as a result. These will be unknown and rare diseases against which science will be powerless.
52. The whole world will be cleansed of weeds. My judgment will eliminate selfishness, hatred, and the insatiable pursuit of power. Great natural phenomena will manifest.
53. Nations will be devastated, and entire regions will vanish. It will be a wake-up call for your hearts. (206, 22–24)
Nature and Natural Disasters
54. Humanity, if you had devoted all that you have used to wage bloody wars to performing humanitarian works, your existence would be filled with the Father's blessings. But man has used the riches he has amassed to sow destruction, pain, and death.
55. This cannot be the true life that those who are brothers and sisters and children of God are meant to lead. This way of living is not in harmony with the law that I inscribed in your soul.
56. To make you aware of the error in which you live, volcanoes will erupt, fire will pour forth from the earth to destroy the "weeds." The winds will be unleashed, the earth will shake, and the floods of water will devastate entire regions and nations.
57. In this way, the realms of nature will express their displeasure toward humanity. They have broken ties with humanity because humanity has destroyed one bond of friendship and brotherhood after another that connected it to the nature surrounding it. (164, 40–42)
58. Much calamity will befall humanity; there will be upheavals in nature, the elements will break their bonds: fire will devastate entire regions, the waters of the rivers will overflow their banks, and the seas will undergo changes.
59. There will be regions that remain buried beneath the waters, and new lands will emerge. Many creatures will lose their lives, and even the beings lower than man will perish. (11, 77)
60. The forces of nature are merely waiting for the hour to burst upon the world and to cleanse and purify the earth. The more sinful and arrogant a nation is, the more severe My judgment upon it will be.
61. The heart of this humanity is hard and deaf. It will be necessary for the cup of suffering to come upon it so that it may hear the voice of conscience, the voice of the Law, and of Divine Justice. All will be done for the sake of the soul's salvation and eternal life. It is the soul that I seek. (138, 78–79)
62. That flood which cleansed the earth of human impurities, and the fire that fell upon Sodom, you know today as legends. Yet even in this age you will witness how humanity will be shaken when the earth trembles under the force of air, water, and fire. But I am sending you an ark once more, which is My Law, so that whoever enters it may be saved.
63. Not all who say "Father, Father" in the hour of trial will love Me, but those who always practice My love toward their neighbor. These will be saved. (57, 61–62)
64. A new flood will come, which will wash the earth clean of human corruption. It will overthrow the altars of false gods, will destroy, stone by stone, the foundations of that tower of pride and godlessness, and will wipe out every false doctrine and every perverse philosophy.
65. Yet this flood will not consist solely of water as in days of old; for the hand of man has unleashed all the elements against himself, both visible and invisible. He pronounces his own judgment, punishes, and judges himself. (65, 31)
66. The realms of nature will cry out for justice, and when they are unleashed, they will cause parts of the earth's surface to vanish and become sea, and seas to vanish and land to emerge in their place.
67. The volcanoes will erupt to herald the time of judgment, and all of nature will be thrown into violent motion and shaken.
68. Pray that you may behave as good disciples, for this will be the fitting time when the Trinitarian-Marian Spiritual Teaching spreads in the hearts. (60, 40-41)
69. Three-quarters of the Earth's surface will vanish, and only a portion will remain to serve as a refuge for those who survive the chaos. You will witness the fulfillment of many prophecies. (238, 24)
70. Make no mistake; for before the "Sixth Seal" comes to an end, great events will occur: The stars will give significant signs, the nations of the earth will groan, and three parts of this planet will vanish, leaving only one upon which the seed of the Holy Spirit will sprout as new life.
71. Humanity will then begin a new existence, united in a single teaching, a single language, and a single bond of peace and brotherhood. (250, 53)
72. I speak to you of the pain you deserve, which you continue to increase and which, when the hour comes, will overflow.
73. I would never offer such a cup to My children; yet in My justice, I can still allow you to reap the fruit of your wickedness, your pride, and your recklessness, so that you may return to Me in repentance.
74. Mankind has defied My power and My justice by desecrating, through their science, the temple of nature, where all is harmony, and their judgment will now be relentless.
75. The elemental forces will be unleashed, the cosmos will be shaken, and the earth will tremble. Then there will be terror among men, and they will want to flee, yet there will be no escape. They will want to subdue the unleashed forces and will be unable to do so. For they will feel guilty, and, repenting too late of their presumption and folly, they will seek death to escape punishment. (238, 15-17)
76. If people knew their spiritual gifts—how much suffering they would spare themselves! But they have preferred to remain blind or sluggish, while allowing times of greatest pain to come upon them.
77. My teaching is meant to enlighten you, so that you may spare yourselves those great sufferings foretold to humanity by the prophets of old.
78. Only by improving your lives can you find that power or ability to free yourselves from the effects of the unleashed elements. For it is not only faith or prayer that are the weapons that give you victory over the blows of fate and the adversities of life: that faith and that prayer must be accompanied by a virtuous, pure, and good life. (280, 14–15, 17)
79. Soon a time of great events will begin for the world. The earth will tremble, and the sun will send down scorching rays upon this world , searing its surface. The continents will be afflicted by pain from one pole to the other; the entire globe will be purified, and there will be no creature that does not feel the harshness and the atonement.
80. Yet after this great chaos, the nations will regain their peace, and the forces of nature will calm down. After that "stormy night" in which this world lives, the rainbow of peace will appear, and all will return to its laws, its order, and its harmony.
81. Once again you will see the sky clear and the fields fertile. The waterways will be clear again and the sea calm. There will be fruit on the trees and flowers in the meadows, and the harvests will be abundant. Mankind, purified and healthy, will feel worthy once more and see the path to its ascent and return to Me made smooth.
82. Everyone will be thoroughly purified and cleansed so as to be worthy of witnessing the coming New Age. For I must build the new humanity upon a firm foundation. (351, 66–69)
The Justice of Love and the Mercy of God
83. The hour is approaching when judgment will make itself fully felt in the world. Every deed, every word, and every thought will be judged. From the powerful of the earth who rule the nations down to the least of them—all will be weighed on My divine scales.
84. Yet do not confuse justice with retribution, nor reparation with punishment. For I allow you only to reap the fruits of your sowing and to eat them, so that by their taste and their effect you may recognize whether they are good or harmful, whether you have sown good or evil.
85. The innocent blood shed by human wickedness, the grief and tears of widows and orphans, of the outcast who suffers misery and hunger—they all cry out for justice, and My perfect and loving, yet inexorable, justice descends upon all. (239, 21-23)
86. My justice will come upon every creature and touch every human being, just as the Angel of the Lord came upon Egypt and carried out My judgment, in which only those were saved who had marked their door with the blood of a lamb.
87. Truly, I tell you, in this time everyone who watches and has faith in the Word and the promises of the Savior, the Divine Lamb who sacrificed Himself to teach you to pray and to fulfill the tasks of your path of atonement with perfect love, will be saved, for My blood will protect you like a mantle of love. But whoever does not watch, whoever does not believe, or whoever blasphemes against , will be afflicted so that he may awaken from his lethargy. (76, 6-7)
88. When the cry for help rises from the depths of people's hearts to Me, saying, "My Father, our Savior, come to us, we are perishing," then I will let them feel My presence, will reveal My infinite mercy to them, and will prove it to them once again. (294, 40)
89. The habitual course of your lives will suddenly be lashed by fierce storms. But afterward, in infinity, the light of a star will shine forth, whose rays will bestow the peace, light, and tranquility that the incarnated spirit needs to reflect upon eternity. (87, 52)
The Effect of Judgment
90. When it seems that all is lost for humanity, that death has prevailed or evil has triumphed, beings will rise from the darkness toward the light. From death they will rise to true life, and from the abyss of ruin they will rise to obey the eternal law of God.
91. Not all will come to know the abyss; for some were careful to keep themselves aloof from that war of passions, ambition, and hatred, and have lived only on the fringes of the new Sodom; and others, who have sinned greatly, will pause in time, and through their timely repentance and complete renewal, they will spare themselves many tears and much pain. (174, 53–54)
92. Of that entire moral and material structure of humanity, "not one stone will be left upon another." For the "new man" to appear on this earth, it is essential that every blemish be erased, every sin removed, and only that which contains good seed be left behind.
93. The radiance of my presence and my justice will be perceived throughout the entire world, and in the face of that light, idols will fall, familiar traditions will fall into oblivion, and fruitless rites will be abandoned. (292, 33-34)
94. A single door will remain open for the salvation of humanity: that of spiritualization. Whoever wishes to be saved will have to renounce their pride, their false grandeur, their base passions, and their selfishness.
95. Very bitter will be the cup that people will have to drink in the great battle. Nevertheless, I tell you: Blessed are those who drink from that cup and then leave the earth as purified souls. For when they return to this world in other bodies, their message will be imbued with light, peace, and wisdom. (289, 60-61)
96. The "final battles" with their bitterness and the "final whirlwinds" have not yet arrived. It remains to be seen that all forces will be thrown into turmoil and the atoms will whirl about in chaos, so that after all this, a lethargy, an exhaustion, a sadness, and a revulsion will set in, evoking the appearance of death.
97. Yet this will be the hour when, in the now-sensitized spiritual souls, the vibrating echo of a trumpet is heard, announcing to you from the beyond that among people of good will, the Kingdom of Life and Peace is approaching.
98. At that sound, "the dead shall rise" and shed tears of repentance, and the Father will receive them as the "Prodigal Sons," weary from the long journey and exhausted by the great struggle, and will seal their souls with the kiss of love.
99. From that "day" onward, humanity will abhor war. It will banish hatred and resentment from its heart, will pursue the sin, and will begin a life of reparation and reconstruction. Many will feel inspired by a light they had not seen before and will set out to create a world of peace.
100. It will be only the beginning of the time of grace, the age of peace.
101. The Stone Age is already far behind us. The Age of Science will also pass, and then the Age of the Spirit will blossom among humanity.
102. The fountainhead of life will reveal great mysteries so that people may build a world that is strong in the science of goodness, in justice, and in love. (235, 79–83)
