Hear, O Israel!

Translation from Spanish

Whoever wants to hear Me must first close their ears to the world, because these are noisy times.

Why do they want to die in their rebellion instead of coming to the God of life?

But My people flee from silence to entertain themselves. Man wants to satisfy his eyes and ears by seeking pleasure on his devices, but he can never get enough, and his search is in vain.

Listen to Me and look at Me, for fullness is found only in contemplating the one God.

My people prefer to fill their minds with words of anguish, terrifying news, other people’s gossip, the frivolities of the famous, and many such things, corrupting their hearts, allowing worms to bore through their ears, and feeding the parasites of their souls: worry upon worry, fear upon fear, terror upon terror, panic, and uncertainty about the future.

It is impossible to speak to those who do not practice silence, because they do not know how to pay attention.

There is power in silence, because that is where I am.

Many of My sheep do not pay attention to the Chief Shepherd. They become distracted, wander away, and expose themselves to many dangers until they fall into a trap that does far more than merely frighten them.

In vain they cry out to Me: “Why? Why? It hurts!” when they were the ones who jumped into the pit. They ran frantically to get away from Me, even though I warned them, gave them water, gave them pasture, and was patient with their stubbornness.

Some of My people say, “We belong to God!” but in their hearts they are like a delegation saying to the King, “We do not want You to reign over us!”

How long will they continue to oppose My Holy Spirit?

The hour is late, and the doors of the ark are about to close. Think, little sheep—think about what is best for you. What will you do when the hour of darkness comes?

Woe to those who do not wash their ears with hyssop. Woe to those who stubbornly flee from their true Master. Woe and double woe to those who will have no Shepherd in the hour of great anguish and trembling!

Return to Me before it is too late. Once again, I call you to divine order: “Hear, O rebellious people!”

[Deuteronomy 6:4] Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD:

[Psalms 46:10] Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.

[Ezekiel 33:11] Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel?

[Ecclesiastes 1:8] All things are full of labour; man cannot utter it: the eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear filled with hearing.
