Great atheism
is coming to the world as a test from on high. The world’s many sins are causing
a terrible lack of faith. Happy is the person who stays firm in his faith in
these times.
The fact that
I am predicting this will not prevent the increase of Godlessness and
confusion. Long ago Daniel and others made it known that this would happen in
the days before the Mashiach. “Many will purify themselves and be refined, and
make themselves shining white. But the wicked will do evil… and only the wise
shall understand” (Daniel 12:10).
Knowing that
this has already been foreseen, it would seem that it should not be such a
great trial for people to remain strong and firm in their faith. But the truth
is that even though the prophets made this known long ago, it will still be a
great trial. Many will fall by the way, and that is why it is written: “the wicked
will do evil.”
I AM REVEALING
THIS FOR THE SAKE OF THE FEW PURE SOULS WHO WILL REMAIN FIRM IN THEIR FAITH.
THEY WILL CERTAINLY FACE GREAT BATTLES EVEN IN THEIR OWN MINDS. BUT WHEN THEY
SEE THAT THIS HAS ALREADY BEEN PREDICTED, IT WILL GIVE THEM GREATER STRENGTH
AND ENCOURAGEMENT.
