The Verdict of the Divine Judge

Divine Appeal Reflection - 249

Today, consider in Divine Appeal 249:  "There will come a fearful moment when I will speak with My Judge... voice and pronouncing the verdict over an anxious and drugged mankind, to shorten the lives of creatures who will receive their just sentence. This will be a time of despair for the impious. With shouts and satanic blasphemy they will beg to be covered with the mountains and they will try to seek refuge in caverns, but to no avail. All those who refuse to repent from their sins will perish in a sea of fire!"

There comes a point when even Divine Mercy must give way to Divine Justice—not out of cruelty, but out of the integrity of love itself. In this grave and chilling Divine Appeal, Our Adorable Jesus speaks of a time when His voice, long soft and pleading, will thunder as Judge over a world that has not only ignored Him but drugged itself into spiritual oblivion. The warning is not given to terrify without purpose, but to awaken the slumbering heart to the weight of eternity. Our Lord, who has patiently endured centuries of rejection, indifference, and sacrilege in the Sacrament of His Love, reveals the sorrowful necessity of judgment upon a world that has exchanged grace for gratification. A world that no longer blushes at sin but celebrates it, that crowns rebellion as progress and mocks repentance as weakness—this is the world facing the day when Mercy, so often spurned, will be silent.

In the imagery of caverns and mountains offering no refuge, we are reminded of a truth often forgotten in modern hearts: that there is no hiding from God (cf. Rev 6:15–17). The Judgment Jesus speaks of is not merely a cataclysmic end of time, but the revelation of hearts in their naked truth before Love itself. This judgment is personal and cosmic; it will unmask the layers we use to excuse ourselves and expose what we have truly worshipped. It is the moment when the soul can no longer pretend, when all diversions are stripped away, and we are left either in communion or in collision with Eternal Truth. Jesus’ grief is not over human failure—that He understands. His grief is over hardened refusal, the defiant pride that chooses darkness over light even when light has wept for us.

The “drugged mankind” He speaks of is not merely a future society, but a present reality. Our world is intoxicated with distractions—entertainment, consumerism, political power, self-worship. We are surrounded by noise yet deaf to the Divine Whisper. Our hearts are often so overstimulated that we no longer feel the sting of sin or hear the quiet call to repentance. The judgment, then, will not come as a shock to those who are watchful, but as an unbearable disruption to those who have made comfort their god. In the end, we will not be able to say we were not warned. Every tabernacle, every crucifix, every pang of conscience has been a gentle knock from Our Adorable Jesus, asking for entry into the soul. What is terrifying is not the justice itself, but how much mercy had to be refused for it to come to this.

The world may call these words extreme. But so is Calvary. The same Jesus who warns of fire is the One who endured it in our place. To dismiss this appeal is to mock His wounds. But even now, even in these dark revelations, there is hope. The fearful verdict has not yet been spoken. The voice that will one day proclaim judgment is the same voice that today calls gently, “Return to Me with all your heart” (cf. Joel 2:12). The path forward is not complicated. It is paved with contrition, confession, acts of reparation, and a sincere return to prayer. Now is the hour to make our lives altars, to pray not just for ourselves, but for the world drunk on self-will. Our Adorable Jesus does not desire our destruction—He longs for our company, our repentance, our love. If we choose to walk with Him now, we will not tremble when He speaks as Judge. We will rejoice to hear the voice we already love.

Prayer

Our Adorable Jesus, we tremble not at Your justice, but at our indifference to Your mercy. Awaken our dulled hearts and grant us the grace of true repentance. Make us vessels of reparation and intercession, so that many may return before the hour of judgment arrives. Keep us ever watchful in Your love. Amen.
