A-23 Augustine says: “The heart was made for God; neither can it rest until it rests in God.” The important thing I intended to communicate through that sentence is: We carry the image of God in the depth of our being from the moment of our conception. Eschatology: It has been said that I advocate a wrong kind of millenarianism, wanting to establish a new order, a material “New Heavens and New Earth” before the Second Coming of Christ. This is wrong and can be nowhere found in the messages. I am well aware that the Catholic Church has condemned such kind of millenarianism as written in the Catechism of the Catholic Church: The Antichrist’s deception already begins to take shape in the world every time the claim is made to realize within history that messianic hope which can only be realized beyond history through the eschatological judgment. The Church has rejected even modified forms of this falsification of the kingdom to come under the name of millenarianism, especially the ‘intrinsically perverse’ political form of secular messianism. (CCC 676) There are many passages with terms such as: New Heavens and a New Earth as well as a Second Pentecost, or sometimes with the term of New Pentecost, in the True Life in God writings, but they are to be understood metaphorically. The realization of these words is not to be found in a break with this regular history of ours before the Second Coming establishing a second economy of history. The words express the supreme hope that Christ will renew us from within in the power of the Holy Spirit. It is a revival of faith and a renewal of the church that we so much yearn for. And the fruit we hope from this renewal is the healing of the schism in the Body of Christ. Already Pope John XXIII envisioned such a renewal when he prayed for a Second Pentecost: “O divine Spirit...renew in our own days your miracles as of a second Pentecost.” And also our present Pope John Paul II has used the term on several occasions, as in a letter to the Most Reverend Father Joseph Chalmers, Prior General of the Brothers of the Blessed Virgin Mary of Mount Carmel, 08.09.2001: “…I invoke an abundance of divine grace on you. Just like a second Pentecost, may the Holy Spirit descend on you and illuminate you so that you may discover the will of your heavenly and merciful father. In this way you will be able to speak to men and women in forms which are familiar to them and efficient” (cf Acts 2:1-13). Likewise, my writings speak in metaphorical language of a revival of faith, so that the Lord is able to erect his Throne and build his kingdom in our souls: “Come and learn: the New Heavens and the New Earth will be when I will set My Throne in you, for I will give water from the well of Life free to anybody who is thirsty”(03.04.1995, ref. to Apoc. 21:6). I believe the renewal promised to us has already started and it is through grace only that the Mercy of God is upon us to pour out His Spirit on all mankind like never before in history and its growth will continue as grace in our days shines on us like the rays of the sun to heal us. The Lord favoured me to show me the state of the faith of the Christians in our times. It was deplorable and that is the least one could say. Many of the messages are filled with grief describing the apostasy that has fallen on the Christian world. But the Lord gives us hope, by sharing with us that there will be (there is) a renewal, a transfiguration and a revival by the action of the Holy Spirit. A thirst of God will be given by grace through the Holy Spirit. Here are some extracts: “My Holy Spirit shall lift you out of your great apostasy, to wed you; your era’s wretchedness shall peel off you because with My Own Hand I shall unwrap your death shroud to clothe you in the garments of your wedding…” (20.10.1990). “I shall make the whole creation new, I shall renew you all with my Holy Spirit” (27.6.1991).
