Regenerated Earth
Countless manifestations
of High Spirits are
included in the
Codification of
Spiritism, giving their
opinion that there will
be an inexorable earthly
planetary transition. In
addition, that Jesus
will return (“second
advent of the Christ”).
Regarding the return of
Jesus, the evangelist
Matthew recorded several
quotes from the Master
himself: “After the
tribulation of those
days a sign will appear
in Heaven and they will
see the Son of Man
coming (24-29,30); and
they will see that He is
near, at the gates
(24-33); of that day and
hour, however, no one
knows, not even the
angels in Heaven, nor
the Son, but only the
Father (24-36); when the
Son of Man comes in His
glory, and all the
angels with Him, then He
will sit on his glorious
throne; and all nations
will be gathered before
him, and He will
separate men one from
another, as a shepherd
separates the sheep from
the goats, and He will
put the sheep on His
right hand and the goats
on His left (25-31
to 33).
Reflecting on the
teachings above,
containing allegorical
passages of Jesus (and
which biblical
theologians called “The
Last Judgment”), perhaps
they mean that the
reference is to
precisely that,
according to Spiritism,
the Earth will pass from
“a world of proofs and
atonements” to a
“regenerate world...”,
that is, earthly
humanity will be
composed only of people
who love God and
neighbor and constantly
strive to improve.
In fact, in the
Codification of
Spiritism we find
records linked to the
regeneration of the
Earth, a future
wonderful event,
decanted by different
sources of Spirituality,
without specifying when
it will happen.
In today's Spiritist
circles, there are books
and articles with
statements that the
planetary transition
will take place, and
there are even some
mentioning in which
year. I respect
everyone. However, I
think these are just
guesses.
Moreover, mystics,
fanatics, pseudo-sages
and opportunists on
duty, over time made and
make predictions of the
end of the world,
mentioning dates, more
under the influence of
the Apocalypse of John,
or on their own. So far,
none of these
predictions have come to
fruition or come true.
As appropriate, I remind
you that Kardec, in the Introduction to
“The Gospel According to
Spiritism” offered us an
incomparable method for
any event to fit and
enforce the Doctrine of
the Spirits. I believe
that it is time when
prudence recommends
listening to the
emeritus encoder of
Spiritism (Kardec),
pedagogically dealing
with doctrinal purity:
- “In the universality
of the teaching of the
Spirits lies the
strength of Spiritism
(...). Outside the scope
of exclusively moral
teaching... the
revelations must be
considered personal
opinions of this or that
Spirit and it would be
imprudent to accept and
propagate them as
absolute truths (...).
The matching in what the
Spirits teach is,
therefore, the best
proof (...). There is
only one serious
guarantee for the
teaching of the Spirits:
the concordance that
there is between the
revelations that they
make spontaneously,
using a large number of
mediums who are
strangers to each other
and in various places”.
By the foregoing, I
believe that any quote
or record about the
earthly planetary
transition, with mention
of the date that such an
extraordinary blessing
will occur, that will
bathe the Earth, will be
nothing more than a personal
opinion.
By the way, about the
regeneration of
Humanity, not citing
dates of when it will
occur, Kardec made
interesting reflections
in Chapter XVIII - The
times have come, from
the book “The Genesis”:
- Signs of the times -
(...) physically, the
terrestrial globe has
experienced fantastic
transformations,
improving the conditions
of human life, with the
inhabitation of
increasingly perfect
beings, at the same time
as the sanitation of
unhealthy regions,
facilitating
communications and
making the Earth more
productive.
Proof of this is that
Brazil is today the
largest producer of
food, thanks to Embrapa
(Brazilian Agricultural
Research Company), which
has recovered vast
portions of land, until
then considered
unsuitable or unsuitable
for plantations!
Covid-19
In the Spiritist
literature, it is
repeatedly stated “God
brings good out of
evil”.
We are in May / 2022 and
the pandemic that
involved the whole world
is in the phase of
regression, thank God,
significantly decreasing
the number of infected
people in specific
treatment and of those
who did not resist.
So, in my opinion, I
think that, among so
much suffering, at least
one benefit so far the
current pandemic has
brought to Humanity: to
sensitize hearts,
regarding the sufferings
of others; A remarkable
worldwide fact is the
number of people from
the countless teams of
doctors, nurses,
administrative
attendants and general
food and hygiene
services, professionally
and lovingly caring for
a large number of
infected, saving
thousands and thousands
of lives.
(I cannot imagine
current pandemic
precursor of planetary
transition soon).
Russia vs Ukraine War
As for the current war,
I also think that the
greatest and blessed
example of a good,
extracted from an evil,
is the fact that
motivated all Humanity
to somehow unite and
support millions of
Ukrainian victims who,
in forced flight, under
duress and very high
danger of life, they had
to abandon everything
(including family
members) in their
country and went on
pilgrimage to unknown
distant lands. In fact,
charitable actions have
erupted worldwide to
support the needy in
general, but especially
the victims of war.
Many are the combatants
of the attacked nation,
who resist daily under
desperate conditions, in
the face of bombing,
unable or failing to
leave the unhappy and
sad stage of war, where
they live.
It is commendable that
even in the aggressor
country not a few people
disapprove of the war
and do so publicly, at
the risk of
imprisonment.
In fact, already in the
21st century,
immense scientific and
material progress has
been achieved, but
moral/spiritual progress
skates on pride, vanity
and the conquest of more
power, attitudes
absolutely contrary to
the recommendations of
Jesus, about love and
respect for God and for
neighbor.
Jesus and the power of
God
When Divine Wisdom
decides to promote a
planet of trials and
atonements, becoming
categorized as the
"World of regeneration",
it means that it will
house humanity that has
evolved and, for
example, is happier than
the current humanity of
Earth.
I also believe that such
an assumption has
something so
transcendental that,
when it happens, it is
necessarily in obedience
to Divine Laws, just and
perfect, and not in
obedience to the mad
frenzy of unhappy
spirits, incarnate or
disincarnated, who,
inspired by forces of
evil, act under the
inspiration of cruel
spirits. In addition,
most importantly, this
change will obey the
Divine delegation of the
Supreme Creator to
Jesus, our planetary
spiritual governor, to
organize and effect it.
Perfectly, lovingly and
fairly, it will result
that each Spirit will
receive what they
deserve, both those of
promoted humanity and
those who are led to a
new world address,
consistent with the
non-transferable need
for new fraternal
learning...
I have faith and I
firmly believe in the
power of God and, if,
contrary to the
unfathomable divine
designs, there is a
human decision to use
atomic weapons, I think
that the supreme Creator
has and has always had
infinite attributes of
Love and Justice to
prevent the innocent
from suffering.
Conclusion
Prophecies, John's
Apocalypse and Jesus'
warnings offer undoubted
information that Earthly
Humanity will progress,
formed only by people
who deserve it, i.e.,
who love God and
neighbor.
This blessed list of
information leaves no
doubt that our Humanity
will undergo
regeneration, separating
good from evil, the good
from the bad, the
rebellious from the meek
and peaceful, something
like this paraphrasing
the lesson of separating
the sheep from the goats (Matthew
25- 32) and the Parable
of the wheat and the
tares. Good will be
promoted to inhabitants
of regenerated worlds.
As for those who do not
achieve this merit, they
will be tenants of
worlds where they will
adjust to the Moral Laws
and bring progress; in
parallel, they will
evolve, until they
conquer physical
existences in better
worlds, in line with
their evolutionary
degree.
One day, undoubtedly,
they will also inhabit a
regenerated world.
What is not in any
consecrated source is
when all these things
will happen...
As for a second advent
of the Master of Masters
(return among us), I
reflect in a simple
essay and with respect
to the Greater Plan that
it is possible that it
will occur alongside the
realization of the
planetary transition,
i.e., these two splendid
and blessed events,
obviously with Jesus
ahead, will occur
simultaneously under the
permission of the
Supreme Creator!
So, the
thought-provoking
question that when this
will happen (Jesus will
return and
simultaneously the
Earthly Humanity will
inhabit a happier world
than the Earth), He
himself has already
answered:
"No one knows about
that hour, only the
Father who is in Heaven."
In fact, at the end of
the physical presence of
Jesus among us He
declared:
“All power is given
to me in Heaven and on
Earth (...) and behold,
I am with you always, to
the end of the age!" (Matthew
28-18 and 20.)
