                         that Will Happen Before Judgment Day  (continued)

                        Section 1 Twelve Different Times  (continued)

760          Fifth, there will be a time of battle.  As they write, “Earth, Earth, you are in a great war.  In this war, rise up, O children of God.  Reach out and come.  This is the last, great war.”(27)   This battle is close and personal to God: “This battle is in God’s own Spirit for all good and home.  Let us rise in such a time of times.  Come beat the drums of life and death.  The time has come to march with battle in our breasts.”(28)   The messengers sound the battle cry: “Righteous saints of Earth, take up your weapons.  Take up your shield.  Raise your banners.  Start your march.  In this, understand: in battle, some must fall for the cause.  Rest, O precious saints.  The Father gently gathers some of His children to Himself.  In this time of times, do not fear, God calls so blessedly.  Reach out, take such a blessed Spirit with courage in your breast.  Unto death, we are faithful.”(29)

761           This is a battle against the evil one.  The messengers write about this blessed war against evil: “This is the wrath of righteousness sent blessedly against evil forces.  It is sent in God’s will to destroy Satan and all his devils forever.  This is a very blessed war.  Very real is the pain of war.”(30)   They are calling us to be soldiers of God who do God’s will, for they write, “We are in a great war, and the soldiers are you, dear ones in God’s Spirit.  It is your battle against the evil one.  Songs of God’s Spirit, you will do God’s service when you know what you are suppose to do.”(31)

762           This evil one said we would not rise up and fight against him.  They write about the dare of the evil one: “These are the ones Satan told us were weak and would not rise against him.  Satan was wrong.”(32)

763           Tragically, some people follow the evil one and become enemies of God.  They write how these people become hard of heart: “Spirit of kindness withdraws from those who are spirits of Satan.  She does not rest in such spirits…. Enemies of God see no rest.”(33)   They also write how God’s enemies are defeated at every turn: “You who are blind to God’s love, such light takes herself away.  Enemies of God see no rest.  This is your war.  Stand if you wish.  Reach for your weapons.  O foolish kind, what shall you strike?  Run if you wish.  Where shall you hide?  Such foolish kind, if you seek death, it shall not come.”(34)
  
764           The battle against the evil one began before this book  In God’s Love,  was spread.  They write, “Swiftly rises the sound of battle on Earth.  Well is it on its way on Earth in God’s Spirit.  This call to battle rose up in spirits of God’s Spirit before this book reached out.”(35)

765           The messengers inspire saints into battle: “Let us come down to Earth.  In God’s Spirit, reach out in such inspiration and gather the saints of Earth for battle against the evil one.  In this time of times, Earth is in her state.”(36)

766           The armor of the soldiers of God is love.  St. Paul wrote about the armor for our battle as “putting on the breastplate of faith and love and the helmet that is hope for salvation.”(37)  The messengers use the same imagery with “Who are these people dressed in white robes?  What are they doing?  They are the people of Earth.  They are the warriors who have come with the Spirit of God and the armor of love; blessed ones, true heroes in the time of times, those who take the time to pray and trust in the mercies of God.”(38)   They continue their battle cry: “Against this army, who can stand?  Who reaches for his weapons, but there is nothing to strike?  Such is this army.  Kindness sings her battle hymn, and God is our Royal Captain.  Who can stand against this army?”(39) 

767           In this battle against evil, many people become saints.  The messengers proclaim the reality that “In this war against the forces of Satan, such brave spirits are made saints.”(40)

768           This is the battle that ends with the end of the Earth.  The messengers write, “Such foolish people who accept him (the evil one) for themselves and their children.  Kind ones, this is the reason that, very soon, there will be a great and blessed battle, and Earth will be no more until she is given new life in much time to come in Earth’s timing.”(41)

769           Sixth, there will be a time of darkness and the light of Christ.  Several times the messengers speak of a time when, in obedience to God, the sun will no longer nourish the Earth.  They write, “This is seen in Earth’s spirit.  Come, sing a song of sorrow.  The sun shall not rise in the East and bathe the meadow with her golden light; neither shall the birds be heard in the morning, nor the sounds of young ones crying for their morning meal.”(42)   Again they write, “This is blessed songs of Earth’s sun.  She was warm in His love….Soon, kind sun, take your rest.  God calls your spirit in….. In the light of the morning sun, spiritual song of light in God’s Spirit, she brought forth children and all manners of life.  Weep, oh sons of man.  Weep at her going.  She loves sons of man.  She loves the Earth.  This is inscribed: ‘God is pleased with the sun of Earth.’  In this, understand:  His love is in sun’s spirit.  She goes in obedience to God’s will.  In God’s will are all things.”(43) 

770           They also write that during this time of darkness, God’s Spirit in His followers will be the light of the world.  They write, “On Earth shall kind sun rise no more.  She shall not rise in the east.  Rise up, O very spirits of Earth.  In such darkness, take your supper.  In this cold spirit, rest.  Rise up and spend your sign of morning with no light.  See in such a dark, sad Earth, this is reached…. In such a time, sing. This is the rising of the sun and the sunshine of the morning.  Signs of God’s life, rise.  Bless the morning.  Your light shall shine among men, and your light shall be brighter than the sun.  Keep this sun shining in your hearts.  Spirits of Earth, keep God’s Spirit in your souls.  This is your light in the darkness.  O sons of man who seek not God, weep.  This is the time of such sadness, and this is very sad.  No light shall there be on the Earth, and if no light shines in the spirit, O man, where will be your rising up or your lying down?"(44)

771           Seventh, there will be a time of healing.  The messengers proclaim, “This is a time when music is used to make the spirit merry.  A time has come for music and light to be used to heal the mind and body of Earth people.  In all Earth, such things shall come to pass.  Songs of great beauty inspire and heal.  Book of books in this time will be written with God’s own music.”(45)   They also proclaim, “This is the time to hear the good news of inspiration.  This is the time to heal, children of Earth.”(46) 

772           Eighth, there will be a time of doubt and that is why In God’s Love is sent: “Book of true value is sent to Earth with our love.  In this time of such doubt in Earth, it is a song of God’s love to all His Creation.”(47)

773           Ninth, there will be a time when we discover secrets of the Earth coming from the depths of the Earth.  The messengers write, “This is the time of wonder and discovery.  The bowels of the Earth will open up and give up her great secrets.”(48)

774           Tenth, there will be a time of drought.  In what may be a part of the First or Second Woe the messengers state, “Earth sings a very sorrowful song.  She sings in such sorrow.  She sings of her children whom she cannot nourish.  In this time of times, her breasts are drying up, and her little ones cry for her life giving substance.”(49)
   
775           Eleventh, there will be a time of prayer: “This is the season of prayer.  It is what needs to be done.  See miracles happen on Earth.  Watch people get well.  See sinners come to God and enter the Kingdom, who would otherwise never be there.  This is the time to pray.  It is the time to thank God and praise Him for all His goodness.  This is the time to pray.  It is a very wise thing to do.”(50)

776           Twelfth, there will be a time of spiritual renewal.  Just as time quotes of battle may indicate one or many battles and quotes on times of sorrow may indicate one or many sorrows , so, too, the quotes about spiritual renewal may indicate one or several times of spiritual renewal.  “See a time of spiritual renewing.  Reach a spiritual springtime.  God is reaching and instructing.  Now is the time.  Your blessed Father, Pope Paul, is God’s righteous leader.  Listen to Him in all ways.  Through Him comes the voice of God.”(51)   Since this was written in 1973, it is possible that the messengers are referring to Pope Paul VI.  It may be inferred that the spiritual renewal that is spoken of has already happened, or is happening.  Perhaps they are speaking of Vatican II and or the Charismatic Movement.  It is, of course, possible that it refers to a future Pope who will be named Pope Paul, in which case the spiritual renewal it speaks of is in the future.  If the messengers were speaking of the Charismatic Movement, the following quote would seem to make sense: “Blessed are the children of God’s Spirit, righteous and true.  See a time of the blessed: kindness, virtue, peace, blessedness, charity, wisdom, fortitude, justice, care, faith, hope, understanding, inspiration, righteousness in blessed, very sweet, pure vessels.  Come, take Earth.”(52)   The messengers could be referring to a future Charismatic movement as well. 

777           In regards to the Holy Spirit, they also name it as a “time of the Holy Spirit”: “This is such a God who comes to the saints of Earth.  This is the time of the Holy Spirit.  Take this spirit.  Come and behold His glory.”(53)  They also write, “This is the time of the Holy Spirit.  Such wonders as Earth has never known reach beings of Earth.  Time of great wonder is at hand.  Books are given as gifts to Earth.”(54)

778           They proclaim that the Spirit of Wisdom is sent to the Earth: “This is the wisdom sent to Earth in a dangerous time.  It is a time when mankind searches for mysteries and ancient riddles.  It is a time of restlessness and wonder.  Mankind has never sought after things hidden in Earth history as he searches now.  Come, and we will tell you truths of old; things unrevealed to mankind.”(55)   The Spirit of Wisdom is especially sent to the poor, for they write, “In great understanding, wisdom speaks.  She exalts the lowly and blesses the humble.  She puts down the mighty and powerful.  She inspires widows, orphans and all who are small and needy of Earth.  Earth blesses wisdom, and vast is her blessing.  Come, wisdom, cast your treasures in the streets.  Come, saints who are poor and needy, receive wisdom and learning.  Receive great mysteries of ancient times.  Blessings are yours.  This is reached.  Reached and cast in the time of times.”(56)

779           The messengers announce that there will be signs.  They observe that “Angels speak to humans, and signs appear in the heavens.  Soon, this blessing sent to mankind is revealed as true and from God.”(57)   The messengers caution us that not all signs we observe are from God.  They advise us in how we are to approach the unknown signs: “This is a time for many signs.  Some signs are not from God.  Do not accept all signs.  If such unusual appearances come, call on God, and He will swiftly come to your aid.  Speak to Him in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.  Such spirits who are from God love this welcoming.  Such spirits who are signs of sorrow very quickly flee from God, whose very spirit is reached in such calling.  In God’s love, there are no such signs.  In God’s signs, such blessed love and peace are felt.  Such blessed beauty and kindness is in the Holy Spirit who is from God.”(58)   Whether, past, present or future, it is a time of times of the Holy Spirit with its Wisdom and signs which the messengers observe.
