I answer him when he prays to Me, but he returns to his previous disobedience.
I answer him when he prays to Me, but he returns to his previous disobedience. Is he rebelling against Me? Or is he challenging My wrath? I swear by My Essence, I will take hold of him so intensely that he will not find anything that protects him from Me or accepts to shelter him. How will he escape? Will he leave My earth or My heavens?
O Jesus, say to the unjust Israelites not to pray to Me while they keep their ill-gotten property under their laps and preserve the idols in their houses, for I took a pledge on Myself that I will answer him whoever prays to Me, but, for those ones, I will substitute My cursing them until they depart each other, for the answers of their prayers. O Jesus, what is the pleasure of a transitory passion and what is the delight of a temporal life? 16.
O son of Mary, if you see what I have prepared for my virtuous saints, your heart will melt and you will give up your ghost out of your desire to have it. No abode like the abode to come (namely Paradise) where the good people are next to each other and the intimate angels visit them frequently. Furthermore, they will be secured against the horrors of the Doomsday. The bliss of the abode to come is unchangeable and intransient from its owners.
O son of Mary, join those who work for gaining the abode to come competitively, for it is surely the wish of the wishful. It is, beyond limits, handsome. You, son of Mary, will be highly delighted if you work for it -Paradise- pursuing your fathers Adam and Abraham in gardens and bliss where you will not desire for any change or substitute. Thus is My rewarding the God-fearing ones. O Jesus, run toward Me with those who are fleeing from the blazing fire (of Hell).
It contains manacles and fetters. No rest comes in there and no grief goes out of it. It is just like a gloomy moonless night. He who can escape it will surely win. It is the (eternal) abode of the tyrants, the despots, and the oppressors as well as every coarse and rude one. O Jesus, how an evil refuge the world is for those who lean to it! What an evil the abode of the unjust ones is! I warn you against yourself. Have full acquaintance with Me.
O Jesus, you should take Me in consideration in every act that you carry out. Declare that I created you and you are My servants, I made you, and I descended you to the earth. O Jesus, wean yourself from the destructive passions as well as every lust that takes you away from Me.
