Today, it is a pleasure to present selections from the insightful lectures “Eradication of the Old” (1944) and “The New Epoch” (1944) in “Prophecy of Peter Deunov (Beinsa Douno),” as introduced by Robert Powell.
Eradication of the Old (1944)
“You say, ‘We are not prepared yet.’ When will you be ready? You say, ‘The time has not come yet.’ Who told you that the time has not come yet? If you do not follow the Divine, the Earth will begin to shake. After the Earth shakes, after all your guns and cannons are destroyed, you will be asked, ‘Will you obey?’ You will say, ‘Yes, we will obey.’ When you observe all these things, you will become wiser. The entire Earth will shake with such power that no trace will remain of the present culture. This will take place as based upon the great natural Laws. Not one nation in Europe will remain unpunished; the present order and all human falsehoods will vanish. Christ has said, ‘The Sun will be darkened, and the Moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from Heaven.’ (Matthew 24:29).
Interpreted, this means that all false human religious beliefs will lose their meaning, all worldly power will be overshadowed and lose its hold. Therefore, the disciples should work to improve themselves. They should clothe themselves in armor and put on helmets in order to withstand this Wave of suffering and trials that humankind needs to endure. This armor is Love. Many people are given the ability to learn only from their own mistakes. If one tries to speak to them, they will not comprehend. Such people will learn on the path of suffering. The turbulent flow, which represents the tribulations and conflicts of humankind, will abate by the end of the present century. Naturally, human souls who are more advanced will be freed from this flood sooner. The nations are healed through suffering. It is impossible to heal a nation without suffering. It is the only medicine. What needs to be corrected will be corrected. What needs to be destroyed will be destroyed. Take advantage of the short time that remains. Now is the time to begin living the New Life. Evil has exhausted all the conditions for its existence. It can no longer succeed, and it is retreating; only its dregs have remained. The Light will drive away all the darkness.
Owing to the present tribulations, humankind will awaken. Unless the pure is sifted from the impure, human life will be meaningless. After these events, the New will immediately gain control of the world. Good times will come. Now it is difficult. We all know that life is hard during winter, and it is easier when spring comes. It is also easier to live in summer and fall. At present, we are coming to the end of the winter. When the New comes, violence will no longer exist. Nothing will remain of modern weapons or of modern courts and prisons. The present order will be cast out. GOD is creating a New World. The old world is giving way to the New. When people enter the New Life, they will converse with the Angels and with GOD. How will they speak with GOD? In silence. In silence you will look at the stars, the Moon, the Sun, and you will be filled with gladness. GOD is in all of them. You will be joyful for every little stone, plant, and animal. GOD lives within them. You will rejoice in the soft wind, the pure wellspring. Within them is GOD.”
The New Epoch (1944)
“The world was in darkness. Humankind was caught in the madness of destruction. One could not find a way out, nor could a light be seen. Anxiety filled the hearts of all; uncertainty was pervasive. In such moments, the Master possessed the ability to bring peace and to inspire faith. He revealed opportunities for a bright future, describing the image of renewed, reborn, and enlightened humankind. A question about the coming new epoch was asked. The Master said: The Earth, after making many millions of rotations, makes one exception from its usual rotation. This departure is occurring today. New organs are forming in the human brain for the human beings of the future. Until they are formed, many things will remain unexplained. When a great artist begins to paint a painting, is it possible for the beauty of it to emerge immediately? No. On the first day, he will only dash colors on the canvas with a brush. Even if we do not like the painting, he would only smile. On the second day, you will see that the painting is in the same state. The artist will tell you, ‘Do not hurry with your judgment. When I finish the painting, then you can express your opinion.’ You hurry to express your opinion about Life now, but Life is not yet finished. A sister asked, ‘Master, when will the time come when everything will become clear to us?’ We are now in this time. Today, the world comes to a specific stage, a stage of transformations that will become its new principles of organization. Today a new type of human being, a new race is being formed. GOD leaves to people the free will to arrange the small things, yet the big ones HE arranges by HIMSELF. The contemporary epoch is one of the birth of the new race.”
