Martinus: Livets Bog, vol. 4, sect. 1419

1419. To this must be added the drama of the "day of judgment" that has just passed over the Earth and whose repercussions are still torturing the world. This drama, in a very fundamental, concrete and unsurpassable way, has demonstrated to terrestrial human beings that an inhumane culture or movement that, through wanton brute force, torture, massacre and the extermination or oppression of the source and followers of other movements, aims at making itself the master of the world and these other people its slaves, cannot possibly gain a lasting or permanent foothold. The dark "drama of the day of judgment" revealed on a world-wide scale the fact that such a worship or cultivation of power instead of the worship or cultivation of justice inevitably led its source to suicide, to the "war crimes gallows" or to a less flattering death by hanging, beheading or shooting, deaths that they themselves inflicted in such great measure on their fellow beings in the foolish superstition that they could thereby improve life and make it flourish, shine upon them and warm them in the world. They must all pitifully perish by the sword, by the principle they employed to kill others. The world view based on humanism or neighbourly love triumphed over the world conflagration of the "day of judgment". It is becoming increasingly evident that neighbourly love is the absolutely "one thing needful" between countries as well as between individuals. This alone can guarantee the much desired "lasting peace" on Earth, for only this can constitute "neighbourly love", the link still missing in the process of perfecting or creating terrestrial mankind, the link that is preventing it from experiencing today the finished, completed Earth as the "kingdom of heaven".
