WAR: the greed and pride of some few men without love

This entry it's part of the Humanity series. Part [part not set] of 40

How far from harmony man has lived since he began his journey on earth! Proof of this are his incessant blunders, the inexhaustible chalice of suffering he has experienced and his lack of peace. Behold the war, the hunger, the pestilence and death like a somber procession that moves from city to city, sowing mourning, desolation and destruction.

How much harm men have done to themselves with their fraticidal wars! Days and months pass without having within a trace of peace in their hearts; living in constant uneasiness and in danger from their own brethren who have become their enemies. Is this living, or at the very least, a struggle for an elevated ideal? No! Men kill each other because of their human ambitions which are worth much less than their own lives. They do not want to know the price of a life. They do not want to know that man´s existence is sacred, and that it can only be disposed of by the One who created it.

Do you observe people in eternal conflict? Do you see those wars which are the absolute denial of the love I taught you? From those wars provoked by human ambitions and differences of creeds, how much misery and bitterness has befallen upon humanity!

Behold the battlefields where only the sound of firearms and the anguished cries of the wounded are heard. Mountains of mutilated corpses who only yesterday were bodies of strong, young men. Can you picture them when for the last time they embraced their mother, their wife or their child? Can one who has not drunk the cup imagine the grief of those farewells?

Thousands and thousands of anguished parents, wives and children have seen their loved ones depart toward the fields of battle, of hate and vengeance, forced by the greed and pride of some few men without light and without love for their fellowmen.

Those legions of strong young men have not returned home, because they were wasted on the fields. Behold the earth, Mother Earth, more merciful than those men who govern the people and who believe themselves masters of the lives of their fellowmen, has opened her bosom lovingly to receive and cover them.

Behold the caravans of men of all ages, of women and children, fleeing from that destruction, wearily seeking peace and protection. Their feet are already mutilated and bloody; their heart cannot stand anymore pain, but there still remains a glimmer of hope in their innermost being.

How much suffering oppresses mankind during this era! No sooner is a child born when already he begins to drink up his cup of bitterness because of his brethren. Some suffer the loss of their mother before feeling the first caress, others become deaf with the thunder of war, instead of hearing the sweet, maternal lullaby.

The children of this period are moved before the chaos which they are feeling, and their innocent hearts lift up to Me pleading for light for the rulers and correctness in their decisions. They also present to Me those nations that have suffer under the yoke of stronger ones and ask Me that they be free again. Their gifts of love and justice vibrate within them, and their cry is one of peace and goodwill among men. I receive their prayer and cause it to be spread like a balsam over the needs of those nations at war.

Why does sinfulness exist and evil predominates, and why are wars unleashed? Because man does not listen to the dictates of his conscience and uses his free will badly.

Wars continue in the world; the threat of death and extermination hangs over the nations. The fact is that men stubbornly hold on to their philosophies and doctrines and do not wish to confront the truth. Do you not believe that the division of humanity into nations and races is something primitive? Don´t you think that if the progress in your civilization, of which you are so proud of, was true, would the law of violence and wickedness prevail? You must understand that this planet is for all men, and that the divisions of nations which exists since the beginning of humanity, is undeniable proof of envy, resentment, mistrust, separation and hatred among mankind.

Humanity has not wanted to comprehend that its happiness can only be found in peace, but still persists in following its ideals of power and false grandeur, spilling fraternal blood, uprooting lives, and destroying the faith of men. Behold how war destroys everything.

You have seen how the fields which yesterday were productive and offered their abundant fruits of peace and happiness to the world, are converted today into fields of blood, destruction and death.

The noise and the horrors of fratricidal wars have dulled the sensitivity of human heart. They have prevented the manifestation of every elevated sentiment, like charity and compassion.

From the West to the East, nations will arise disregarding one another, and from the North to the South, they will also arise to meet at the crossroads, and the resulting collision will produce an immense fire in which hatred will burn, pride will be extinguished, and the bad weed will be consumed.

And when you comprehend that everything which emerged from Me is perfect, harmonious and beautiful, you will ask yourselves: Why, then, do the children of God keep on destroying and annihilating? What force moves them to disregard and destroy one another, when they all emanated from the Father´s limpid fountain? What are those forces and why has God not, with His infinite power, stopped the progress of men who destroy the peace? Why does He permit wickedness among mankind? I have permitted suffering, destruction and death to be felt in your life so that those bitter fruits will make you understand the kind or tree you cultivated.

While the world agitates, and the shadow of chaos looms over the nations, and the war shakes mankind, I hear those who say: “If nothing is impossible for God, why does He not stop the war and create a world filled with peace?” And I say to you: That just as war is in man, there is also peace.

Already, a new conflict has been unleashed in the world. Entire nations fight, eager to conquer over their enemies; others seek superiority to dominate nations and have slaves, and others to demonstrate that their race is the most elevated of all, but they do not understand, in their blindness, the abyss that awaits everyone.

Mankind asks Me for tranquility, even though it carries within itself the gift of peace which can be reached through fulfillment of its duties. And I ask you: Is it necessary to experience war before you can have peace? Observe how the good seed has been overrun by wickedness. Some nations destroy others, and those which are strong today, will be annihilated tomorrow.

By making use of force, men destroy the world. Do you believe that their strength supersedes My power? Nevertheless, it is my will that they themselves recognize their errors, correct them and then reconstruct all they have destroyed and profaned.

What will be the debt of those men before God and how will they be able to pay it? Only I know that, but truly I say to you that no one will escape the law of restitution. That is why I say to you: While they keep on destroying the world which God granted them to live in, you must be watchful and pray for your brethren, for they know not what they do, for if they did, they would be constructing, long ago, all they have destroyed, with their tears, with their blood, and even with their life.

If My presence amongst you during those time coincides with the great calamities and the terrible wars that afflict you today, do not attribute that cup of bitterness which men drink to Me. The hardships are fruits of your sins, and these have not emerged from Me. If I announce to you that in the period when I would speak to you as the Holy Spirit, suffering would be widespread among mankind, I did not dictate that sentence upon you. I knew that when those ordeals came, you would need Me; I only announce it so that you would be watchful and pray, awaiting My arrival.

Now you only contemplate wars, and you clamor that it is a punishment of God, when I have taught you that God, who is the Father, does not punish; that these happenings occur because of their own faults.

I have only given you My proofs of love. I sent you to Earth, which is like a fertile, loving and tender mother. I gave you the fire of life, the air, which is the breath of the creator, and the water which is fruitfulness and freshness, and you have taken it all to sow destruction and death. Everything has been profaned, and it will be even more so. Your rivers will be of blood, your fire will be of extermination; the air will be saturated with the breath of death, and all the Earth will be thrown into convulsion. During the moment of judgement many will say to Me: “Lord, forgive me I had a veil of darkness over my eyes”.

I am the peace. In My infinite wisdom there exists all you would wish for. But when have the nations prayed to gain My peace? When have the armies kneeled to plead for forgiveness after they have killed their fellowmen?

Since the beginning of mankind there have been a few who have sought peace, or remained within it once they have attained it, because man only searches for it when suffering overcomes him. That is why you see how, after each one of your inhuman fratricidal and injust wars, thousands of beings arise hungering for peace, which they were unable to appreciate before, because they were not aware of the value that divine gifts holds. Do not wait for the lamentations on Earth to multiply and for the rumors of war to increase before you wake up. Pray and perform deeds of charity everyday, for in that way you will counteract the forces of evil.

Many men and women, because of so much pain and destruction, begin to yearn for My Law, for My word and for My peace, but they know not where to direct their steps to find Me.

Do you see during these times of materialism, nations engaged in making war against each other? And I say to you that right there, in the middle of those wars, many men have found the secret of prayer; the one which comes from the heart to reach Me, like an imperious calling, like a lamentation, like a supplication, and when they have beheld their miracle sought emerge along the way, they have learned that there does not exist another way to speaking to God, but through the language of the spirit.

Truly I say to you that there in the middle of the armies who fight for earthly ideals and ambitions, I have discovered during their moments of repose, men of peace and good will who have been converted into soldiers by force. From their heart escapes a sigh when my name emerges from their lips and the tears run down their cheeks with the memory of their loved ones: parents, wives, children or brothers. Then their spirit, without any temple other than the sanctuary of their faith, without any altar other than their love, nor any light other than that of their spirit, elevate themselves before Me, asking forgiveness for the deaths they have involuntarily caused with their weapons. They look for Me to beg with all the strength of their being to permit them to return to their home or that, at least, if they are to fall under the attack of the enemy, to cover with My mantle of mercy those whom they leave behind on Earth.

To all those who seek my forgiveness in that manner, I give My blessing, for they are not the ones to blame for killing; others are the assassins, the ones who will answer to Me for what they have done with human lives, once the moment of their judgement arrives. Pray for the peace of nations. I have spoken to men through their conscience, to those who govern these nations, and I have contemplated their heart to be stubborn, and that hatred and ambition does not leave them. Behold the wake of suffering that war is leaving, and men do not want to awaken from their lethargy, but soon events will surge in the world that will move mankind and make it change its course.

Pray, so you may help the representatives of the nations who meet to resolve the conflicts between the people. Do you believe that all of them have a different concept for each solution? No, My people. They deceive themselves, and inwardly their conscience is in agreement. Their material interests forces them to overpass their own convictions. How easy the solution of all conflicts would be if each one would act according to their conscience, then the world would be at peace. Men who govern the destinies of people, far from thinking of their own greatness, should first keep in mind the well-being of all. However, nothing like that exists, and distrust compels men to always be on the alert.

Once again I say to you: When the world retraces its steps along My pathway and puts My doctrine into practice, it will resolve its problems and will live in peace.

Do you want to stop suffering humanity? Love. Do good along your way, and reconstruct your life. Do you wish to be great and be happy? Love abundantly, love always. Do you wish to weep? Do you wish bitterness to overcome you? Do you wish for wars and desolation? Continue living as you are now. Let egotism, hypocrisy, vanity, idolatry and materialism to rule over your life.

I know that not all of you have an equal share of blame for the chaos that you live in. That is true, but I say to you, that those who are not the contrivers of the war, are responsible for peace.

Pray, humanity, and think of the arrogance and ambition which germinates within the minds of men who have taken to ruin, desolation and death other men who are not at fault. If you, instead of feeling merciful, feel anger or disdain toward those who cause so much suffering to humanity, verily I say to you that you deprive yourselves of all spiritual elevation and understanding.

When you succeed in elevating your feelings above so much human misery, a most sensitive and sincere petition in favor of your brethren will emerge from you, and that vibration of love, that purity of your sentiments, will be the most powerful swords which will destroy the darkness that wars and passions of men have been creating.

How many dreadful wars await mankind, much more terrifying than those that have taken place in which the fury of the unleashed elements will be confused with the thunder of your weapons. The world will be too small to contain in its bosom so much destruction. All of this will bring as a consequence, that men, after having reached their greatest suffering and desperation, will direct their supplications to the true God, to the One whom they did not want to reach through the pathway of love, to ask Him for his divine peace. Then, I, the Christ, the Word, will resurrect within the hearts, because that time will be the third day in which I will fulfill My promise of salvation, to construct the temple as I promised you.

Just I have announced the war and disasters awaiting mankind, I also say to you, that the day will come when all nations of the Earth will enjoy peace and men will love one another in Me, and their life, their work and their deeds in the world, will be and enjoyable worship, which like a fragant incense will rise to Me from this planet. The bad weed will be uprooted from the hearts of men, and the good seed will be preserved to form with it a new humanity.

This world, converted now into an apple of discord, because of human ambition and selfishness, will at last be shared by everyone without being owners, because at the calling of the Real Owner of all creation, you will obediently leave all your possessions.

Only spirituality will save this humanity from its chaos. Do not expect another solution. Oh, people and nations of the Earth! You can sign peace treaties, but while that peace is not based upon the light of the conscience, you will be foolish, for you will be building on sand!

I have said to you that I am the Great Warrior whose sword has come ready for battle, but understand that I have not come to provoke wars amongst men, like the ones you always cause. Mine is a war of ideas, of persuasion, in which the truth, love, reason, justice and true wisdom shines.
