The antichrist and the apocalyptic beast
for a soul , who has already come to complete self-consciousness to let himself be captured again by the unchangeable law of the coercing judgment of the godly will in matter .
[ 2 ] The fact that this is described as something terrible for the soul , can be learned by everyone from the experience of a dying person who did not attain to the complete rebirth of the spirit .
[ 3 ] Because why is such a soul so much afraid of the death of his body ? Because he – still being entangled in the coercing judgment of the body – thinks that he has to die together with the body . That this is the case , you easily can see with all those who hardly believe , or not at all , in a continuance of life of the soul after the death of the body , because their soul is completely or for the greatest part in the judgment of his flesh , and consequently he also has to experience its death as long as by My will he is not completely separated from it .
[ 4 ] Since you hopefully well understand now how things are with Satan and his devils , it will also become clear to you that things cannot be different with Hell . It is just like Satan who is in himself the eternal coercive judgment , thus the world and the matter thereof .
[ 5 ] And why is Satan also called a prince of darkness and the lie ? Because all matter is not that which it seems to be . And he who in his love will grab it and allows himself to be captured by it , is then also clearly residing in the kingdom of the lie and , regarding the truth , in the kingdom of darkness .
[ 6 ] He who for instance loves too much the so-called treasures of the kingdom of the dead matter and keeps them for what they seem to be and not for what they truthfully are , is by that already residing in the kingdom of the lie , because his love – the foundation of his life – is as it were completely blinded and sunken down in matter and will have great difficulty to raise himself up again out of such a night towards the light of the full truth .
[ 7 ] However , he who only considers gold as a corresponding form of expression which represents the good of the love in God , like pure silver represents the truth of the wisdom in God , knows therefore also the real value of gold and silver and is thus residing in the Kingdom of the truth , and his soul is not entangled in the treacherous appearance of the judgment thereof .
[ 8 ] So also , with the elders and all prophets , gold , silver and the different kinds of precious stones had only the true meaning . But as matter however , they did not have any value , and for this reason they also could not become a danger for a soul . Through the discernment of the true value of the matter they discovered also easily and quickly for what it could be suitable and be useful and they derived the true benefit from it .
[ 9 ] However , when in course of time the people bestowed any value to the matter because of their glitter and nice appearance , they passed over to its judgment , became spiritually blind , hard , greedy , stingy , untruthful , quarrelsome , deceitful , proud , malicious and lusting for war and conquest , and they therefore fell into idolatry and paganism , and consequently also in the actual Hell out of which they could not be delivered without Me .
[ 10 ] For this reason I had to cover Myself in matter and by that in the judgment , and I have to break through it , so that by that I will become the entrance gate to eternal life for all the people who had fallen if they want to enter life through this gate . Therefore , I am also the door to life and Life itself . Whoever will not enter inside through Me , will not attain to life in the light of eternal truth and freedom , but will remain captured in the judgment of matter .
[ 11 ] Now there is another question that comes up by itself , which sounds like this : are there really no personal Satan and personal devils ?
[ 12 ] And I say : Oh yes , they exist here indeed , still living in the flesh , and even more so in the big world in the beyond , who always intent to exert a bad influence in the world on this side , and this on one hand because of the raw nature spirits who because of their predestined ripening still remain in all kinds of matter .
