The apocalyptic fire
it was the case with Nineveh . Thirdly such real awakened prophets by the will of God can also heal the sick through their prayers and by the laying on of their hands , if the healing promotes the soul salvation of the sick . And fourthly they are also able , combined with the will of God , to bring a judgment over incorrigible mankind , and on the contrary also bless a nation .
[ 2 ] Through such and several other properties they are properly marked as real prophets awakened by God and can be easily distinguished from false prophets , especially easy thereby that they as true prophets are always full of humility and love for their neighbor , while the false prophets walk in all kinds of decorated and by other things marked clothes , are full of haughtiness and full of the most outrages selfishness , only be visible at certain holy places , speak very little , and this very stupid and senseless , and at certain times perform false miracles by of course means kept very secret – and woe him who tried to copy them , while the real prophet does not keep his true miracles a secret , but on top encourages people that they in the same true and good manner also can perform the same miracles .
[ 3 ] Since thereby the true prophets can easily be distinguished from the false and every sober person can recognize from this that there in all seriousness exist true and false prophets – where the latter never would have existed if the true prophets would not have been there first , the people also can easily infer from that , that a true God exists , who never will let the people walk around on earth as complete orphans , but will also make His will known to them and reveals His great and wise purpose to them .
[ 4 ] This type of revelation is for man who wants to take note of it , the most salutary , because thereby they are not coerced in any extraordinary manner . By the only seldom occurring large revelations , the people yield for their souls much less , because such revelations are more of a judgment for a degenerated mankind than it is any salvation for them .
[ 5 ] When Adam was sinning before God in Paradise , by not accepting the well-recognized will of God with his free will , he soon experienced a great revelation by God and regretted his sin ; however , this large revelation was a judgment for him .
[ 6 ] Afterwards several large revelations of God were given to the degenerated children of the world who lived in the lowlands ; however , this always was a judgment for the children of the world . ( See the “ Household of God ”, 3 volumes by J . Lorber )
[ 7 ] During the times of Noah , again a large revelation came to man ; but it was a very large judgment for mankind .
[ 8 ] In the times of Abraham again a large revelation occurred , namely because of the terribly degenerated inhabitants of Sodom , Gomorra and the ten smaller towns surrounding these two big cities . It again was a judgment for the people ; the Dead Sea is still today a speaking testimony of it .
[ 9 ] Father Jacob again had a large revelation from God ; however his children had to suffer for it in Egypt .
[ 10 ] During the times of Moses there was an exceedingly large revelation of God and the thundering words of God to the people had to be engraved in stone boards . However , what terrible judgment was this revelation of God , especially for the Egyptians becoming too blind , too haughty and too inhuman , whose magnificence was thereby completely broken ; but also the Israelites were not overlooked .
[ 11 ] When the Israelites left the desert under Joshua , again a great revelation of God took place , and the big Jericho disappeared from the earth .
[ 12 ] The same occurred at the times of Samuel and Elias and also during the times of the other large prophets ; and look it up the judgments which followed ! Even the smaller prophets were not sent into this world without judgments .
[ 13 ] But now the biggest and most direct revelation of God to the people occurs before your eyes ; however the subsequent exceedingly large judgment for the Jews will not have to wait for very long .
