PREMATURE DEPARTURE FROM THIS

WORLD.
THE PURPOSE

People are constantly reminded how perishable the

things of this world are. Again and again they face
death when numerous people pass away prematurely.
They are powerless against such happenings. This
brings distress and grief to them. But they do not
repent nor do they think about the real reason for
suffering and early death.

So the suffering becomes more painful. Man will look

fearfully at the coming events in the world and are
petrified with fear over the great destruction which
surrounds them. They see the misery of the times, yet
they remain totally unimpressed and derive no gain for
their souls.

So GOD uses the strongest ways to shake them out of

their indifference. Even when people are faced with
physical suffering their soul still remains untouched,
they remain indifferent to the blows of fate, or else they
would try to change when they realize that their
spiritual attitude is the cause of the increased suffering
on Earth.

So human beings must be removed prematurely from

this life. A longer stay would be more of a disadvantage
than a benefit for their souls. Because they think only of
their earthly lives and could lose their faith altogether.

So GOD allows innumerable human beings to lose their

lives in spite of their defectiveness of their maturity, so
as to prevent a backsliding. Earth is not hidden from
them and there they can observe further developments
and come to the conclusion that man themselves are
responsible through neglect of their soul's Salvation,
because a wrong way of life, and through unbelief and
selfish thinking.

However, those people who are called away by GOD

prematurely could, when faced with death, come to
understanding and still unite themselves sincerely to
GOD. They can still be purified through grief. So all this
has given them a higher degree of maturity that could
not have been accomplished by a longer life on Earth.
Such premature parting from Earth has been a blessing
for them. Very few people recognize this; no matter how
great the suffering is on Earth it is still just a means of
winning souls. The magnitude of their needs should
drive them to GOD, who
can remove each need if people, in faith, expect HIS
help.

However, where suffering is still unsuccessful, where

people still target HIM, then they are in great danger of
becoming totally lost. Then GOD will end many an
earthly life and allow what seems like in human misery,
because HE constantly cares for their souls and tries to
save them. Although the body perishes, all is for the
welfare and blessing of the human soul, because
nothing that HE does is wrong.

AMEN
