Fear and anxiety moved some persons to seek the protection of the deep forest and remote places because they believed with passion that the end of the world was something unavoidable to happen as the clock struck the last second of 1999. But now, the world is still turning as always has and this Armageddon date never came to pass in the manner that many religions, sects and cults thought it would be; and after all the festivities ceased and humanity entered into the year 2000 which many believe is the start of a new era, everything is back to normal...or it isn't? Let's review what our Heavenly Father tells us about things to come. __________________________________________________________ «¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤» ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ -Our world, our planet? Take the Webster Dictionary and find out the definitions of the terms "world" and "planet" and you might be amazed. Many persons believe that when Jesus explains to His disciples the shape of things to come and speaks of "the world", He is referring to the planet, the globe itself. That's why also many see the ecological disasters that we are witnessing as devastation of the planet. Really? In fact, speaking only of the mere surface of the planet -about 1/32'000 of the total volume of the globe- this is not even true, since 3/4 parts of the planet are ocuppied by water. How many countries do you know that instead of land have water as real state? All human actions and history has taken place in the surface of this planet. This, our home, is so vast that, while men have set foot on the moon -at least it is what they told us- there are still many regions and places in which we haven´t put our foot yet. The sea abysses, the profound and enormous caves that reach 200 miles below the surface of the Earth, the polar regions...those are the challenges that await mankind. So, what are we really destroying? Our planet or our habitat? Because the latter is so small compared with the former that only egocentrism and selfish pride of men can explain the false assumption that we are destroying the whole planet. But OUR world...well, that's another matter. __________________________________________________________ «¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤» ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ -The true notion of world Our world, the one in which we live in, had been created by God as a wonderful tool for our advance and evolution. It had no money in it nor governments or borderlines, neither did He create countries or creeds. All of those things are of our very own creation. So, at the end, the worlds are what their inhabitants decide they should be. As explained in Genesis, men -remember, men is a gender and it includes male and female- was put in charge of the Gaden of Eden. Analyzing that parable we can understand the great responsability that we, as humanity, have regarding the care of that world entrusted to us. "FROM TEACHING 36 OF THE BOOK OF THE TRUE LIFE: 53. Have you not said that the world in which you live is a valley of tears; that is, a valley of restitution? And who made it a valley of tears, God or man? I created it in the image of a celestial paradise, endowing it with wonders and pleasures, even thinking of the smallest and most insignificant things in order to assure your happiness. Nevertheless, in a world created in such a manner, for its well-being and progress, for the enjoyment and spiritual elevation of mankind, men still suffer, weep, become desperate, and become strayed. 54. But I repeat to you again, that I did not create this world for the suffering of man. The worlds are what their inhabitants make of them. Behold how man has concealed the truth with his misleading interpretations, and how different he has interpreted the figurative meaning of what the spiritual life has revealed to him." __________________________________________________________ «¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤» ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ -Of "the end of the world" So, at the light of the above, we can continue to understand what is, truly, the so much feared end of the world that many are talking about. "From Teaching 292: 52. No one should say that My prophecies only come to overshadow your existence. On the contrary, My word comes to save you from the darkness. Understand that I have come to prepare you, so that you do not feel a smallness during those moments of struggle. 53. Do not let your courage be intimidated, knowing that the battle draws near, nor should you doubt that peace will return to your world. 54. I have already said to you that you are at the end of one world and at the beginning of another. The planet will continue being the same, Nature the same, and the light, too. But the lifestyle of Mankind will be another, and its purpose, struggles, and ideals, shall be different. There will be justice; there will be truth. 55. The spirits who incarnate among Humanity in those days, in the majority, will be faithful to righteousness, in such a manner that when men emerge inclined toward evil, as strong as they may be, they will have to yield before the light of truth that the former will present to them. Much to the contrary to what happens nowadays, because the perverts are more in abundance; they have made from evil a force that drowns, contaminates, and envelops the righteous ones. 56. Your world will still continue to be the crucible for the spirits, a valley of struggles and of restitution. Your world is still unable to offer Me elevated spirits who, on departing from here, would draw near the mansion of the just. This valley still cannot give shelter to the great spirits who are to come to dwell in it. It is a world of unceasing reincarnation, because the spirit, in his slowness to ascend, leaves unfinished tasks without cultivation, or debts to settle. 57. Tomorrow this Earth will offer Me beautiful spiritual flowers in the deeds of its dwellers, and they will bring before My presence the ripe fruits that they will gather after a life of perseverance in the love of the Father and their fellowmen. From Teaching 76: Disregard the belief that you had about the "Day of Judgment", which is not one of your own days, because it is a period; and the end of the world is not the end of the planet where you live, but of the egotistical life which you have created in it. 44. Truly I say to you: You are living the "Day of the Lord". You are already under His justice. The living and dead are being judged; past and present deeds are weighed on this scale. Open your eyes so you can be witnesses that the Divine justice is being felt everywhere. 45. Now is when you should remain strong, for the tempest has been unleashed and temptations besiege you at every turn. Abandon Sodom and Gomorrah, the sinful cities, and do not turn back, because they are inviting you, and now that you are liberated, do not fall back into their midst; it might be that by then, you might not have strength to withdraw from them. Proceed toward the city of peace without stopping; the one that will get to be established within your heart when the time comes. 46. How long will the judgment last? You do not know, but truly I say to you, that the time of purification will be shortened by My Divine charity. Elders who weep because your reasoning tells you that you will not see on Earth the triumph of My Law, truly I say to you: Who can assure that by then, you shall not be back in this world to be witnesses to the coming of My Kingdom, and attain one more step along the pathway? To those who will not return, I say to them that I will allow them to behold from the hereafter the triumph of My justice, and the voice and presence of those beings will be felt on Earth. 48. After delivering My lesson to you, and in order for your analysis to be correct and your interpretation just, I send you My spiritual emissaries, messengers, and interpreters of My word, so that they may help you in your study and find the essence of My revelations." From Teaching 246: 13. And thus, you dispute over the fearful and terrible end of the world that you assumed to be at the doorstep of one of your wars. I also say to you now, that that end you are expecting will not come. My words of the Second Era referred to a materialistic and scientific world which does not honor Me, love Me, nor recognizes Me. __________________________________________________________ «¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤» ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ -A Final Note Dearly beloved: May the light of all teachings coming from the Lord, give us the hope and strength in order to make our dreams come true. Many of us, at the beginning of a new year, make resolutions to improve our lives and ourselves and now we know that within us, we have the power to make all those resolutions become a reality. And remember, without struggle there is no merit, and whithout merit, there shall be no reward. Your Brother in the Lord The Little Worker http://144000.net/
