Topic: Prophecy Meditation
Message to J.N.S.R. March 1, 2008
The Bible announces to you:
the prophets have spoken
March 1, 2008
JNSR: The Lord is asking me to write what has been told by all the prophets, in order to inform all His children about the End Times and the Coming of JESUS Christ. Here is the book "the prophets have spoken " in the Holy Bible.
The Almighty has rendered His supreme Truth accessible to Humanity. By the prophets, He put into writing His Treasure of fundamental Knowledge, revealed through the Holy Bible.
The Holy Bible possesses the foundation of all Knowledge, it is the instruction manual destined to Humanity. The scholars and the rulers of the World are unable to give us these answers. The Holy Bible contains this Knowledge which is the foundation of all knowledge.
We are definitely living in an era where scientific discoveries and technological progress have produced arms that are capable to annihilate all life on this planet.. We are living the End Times, just before the end of this era and the Second Coming of JESUS Christ.
JESUS Christ, the greatest news commentator of all times, knew in what deplorable conditions mankind would end up in, and would draw on themselves in this End of Times. He said:
"And if that time had not been shortened, no one would have survived; but for the sake of those who are chosen, that time shall be shortened". (Matthew 24: 22).
Almighty God has promised to intervene in the affairs of this world; He has promised to send once again JESUS Christ, to save us from ourselves and bring us Peace at last. Since approximately 28
centuries, God has predicted through the mouth of the prophet Isaiah:
(Isaiah 35: 4-5): "Here is your God.......He is the One who comes to save you. Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, the ears of the deaf will be unsealed. Then the lame shall leap like a deer, and the tongues of the mute shall sing for joy".
In Daniel: (22: 44): "In the time of these kings, the God of Heaven will set up a Kingdom which shall never be destroyed, and this Kingdom will not pass into the hands of another race".
In Psalms: (67: 3): "For then, the Earth will acknowledge Your Ways, and all the nations will know of Your Power to save".
In Luke: (2: 30-32): "Because my eyes have seen Your Salvation......a Light to enlighten the nations". (Words spoken by Simeon to the Virgin Mary).
The Gospel of JESUS Christ is simply the Gospel that He Himself preached: the Good News of the Kingdom to come on this Earth. His Gospel regarding His Kingdom to come, should be preached throughout the entire world, just before His Coming (Matthew 24: 14).
The Kingdom of God was announced by all the prophets.
Acts 19, 8 : In Ephesus, St. Paul: ".....went to the synagogue, and for three months, spoke boldly and persuaded his listeners about the Kingdom of God".
Acts 14, 22: In Antioch, St. Paul: "We all have to experience many hardships before we enter the Kingdom of God".
Acts 8, 12: In Samaria, Philip: "But when they believed Philip's preaching of the Good News about the Kingdom of God, and the Name of JESUS Christ, they were baptized".
Four things are necessary
to form a Kingdom:
1.- A territory: the entire world is God's territory: He created it.
2.- A King, a Leader: JESUS is the King of the World, the whole Universe.
3.- Citizens or subjects: we are His creatures, His children submitted to His Laws.
4.- Laws and a government: the Divine Government with God's Holy Laws.
In Isaiah, all of chapter 11 relates the Messianic Times.
We hear, even today, numerous Gospels, but how many people hear the teachings of Christ's Gospel, the one He Himself preached: the Gospel of the Kingdom of God?
Mark (1, 15): "The time has come and the Kingdom of God is close at hand. Repent, and believe the Good News".
With the World Repentance and the Pardon of God, what is being asked by JESUS of Nazareth, again today, is to proclaim everywhere that the Kingdom of God on Earth is very near. This is what the Church must announce, so that Christians prepare themselves, and each Nation be equally informed of the coming of JESUS Christ on Earth and of His Reign of Peace. Let everyone be warned of the impending change the entire Earth will go through, and the events preceding the Coming of Our Lord JESUS Christ.
A World Government vested with all powers, shall be set up. It will resolve all the problems in a just and fair manner for everyone. That government shall not be administered by men with a worldly spirit, but by the Almighty Creator of the Universe.
At the Annunciation, the Angel Gabriel said to MARY (Luke 1, 31-33):
"You will call Him JESUS. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give Him the throne of His ancestor David; He will rule over the House of Jacob forever and His Reign will have no end".
It is time to preach the Gospel that JESUS Christ Himself preached,
the Gospel of the Kingdom of God.
2 Peter 3, 8-9: "But there is one thing that you must never forget: that with the Lord, one day can mean a thousand years, and a thousand years is like a day".
God gives us His Plan
The Divine Plan of 7,000 years
The diagram of this Plan is given in the first two chapters of Genesis; it is the Seven Day week. We know that each of the first six days of Creation have so many sidereal stages that some may have lasted billions of years. And the word day is only there to designate a week ending with the Day of the Lord, where man offers his Thanks and his Love to God who kept him alive during the week and prays to Him for the coming week.
But I feel there is a relation between the days of that week (a day is like a thousand years), and God's Plan.
God said: Let there be light, and so it was. God saw that the light was good, and God separated light from the darkness, God called the light day, and the darkness night. Evening came and morning came: the first day.
God divided the waters above the vault, from the waters under the vault. He called the vault heaven. Evening came and morning came: the second day.
God said: Let the waters under heaven come together into a single mass and let dry land appear. And so it was. God called the dry land 'earth', and the mass of waters 'seas'. Let the earth produce vegetation, seed-bearing plants, and fruit trees bearing fruit with their seed inside. And God saw that it was good. Evening came and morning came: the third day.
God said: Let there be lights in the vault of heaven to divide day from night, and let them indicate festivals, days and years; let them be lights in the vault of heaven, to shine on the earth. And so it was. God made the two great lights: the greatest light to govern the day, the smaller light to govern the night, and the stars. God saw that it was good. Evening came and morning came : the
fourth day.
God said: Let the waters teem with living creatures and let birds fly above the earth within the vault of heaven. Be fruitful, multiply, and fill the waters of the seas and let the birds multiply upon the earth. God saw that it was good. Evening came and morning came: the fifth day.
God said: Let the earth produce every kind of living creature, cattle, reptiles, and every kind of wild beasts. And so it was.
God said: Let us make man in Our Own Image, in the likeness of Ourselves, and let them be masters of the fish of the sea, the birds of Heaven, the cattle, and the reptiles that crawl upon the earth.
God created man in His Own Image,
in the Image of God He created him,
male and female He created them.
God said: See, I give you all the seed-bearing plants that are upon the whole earth, and all the trees with seed-bearing fruit: this shall be your food.
To all wild beasts of the earth, all birds of heaven, and all living reptiles on the earth, I give all the foliage of plants for food. And so it was. God saw all He had made, and indeed it was very good. Evening came and morning came: the sixth day.
Thus heaven and earth were completed with all their array. On the Seventh day, God completed the work He had been doing. He rested on the seventh day after all the work He had been doing. God blessed the Seventh day and made it Holy, because on that day He had rested after all His work of creating.
We shall give to each day the value of 1,000 years:
The Divine Plan of "7,000 years" for Humanity.
Since the Creation of Humanity with Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, where all the highest and most supernatural gifts were provided for them (of holiness, that is), nobody can pretend that God held back on anything in order to save His chosen People.
First God put to the test Abraham's obedience, by requesting of him the sacrifice of His only son, Isaac! Then in spite of Abraham's Prayer, there will not be ten just men found in Sodom and Gomorrah which could spare them from being destroyed by the two Angels of the Lord, who had come to Lot in Sodom. Such was the Divine condemnation for the inhabitants' state of impurity.
Then it was the liberation of the Hebrews from slavery in Egypt by Moses, the walking on dry ground across the sea by the Hebrew people, followed by the Egyptians in their pursuit (they were drowned), the Tablets of the Law given to Moses, the Manna for their food, and the pillar of cloud guiding them. And above all, was the Incarnation of Christ, all His Miracles accompanying Him, and then the Redemption on the Cross and the institution of the Seven Sacraments of our Church: these are all divine interventions. And, since 2000 years of Christianity, the many apparitions of MARY (and of JESUS to St. Margaret Mary, and at Dozulé), those are really divine interventions (in the affairs of our World).
But our World is like a disobedient child, who insists on playing with matches and ends up burning himself or set fire to his house. The lesson of wars and epidemics of the past was useless. Worse yet, it has led men to invent armaments that can destroy in a few minutes, all life on the planet, a precarious peace is resting on the balance of nuclear terror and not on the Love of God or neighbor.
Simultaneously, we see other men glorify themselves of their sexual practices against nature
and leading to AIDS, even though some laws condemn such acts as being a penal misdemeanor.
The survival of the planet is threatened by those weapons of mass destruction, by epidemics, by famine, a consequence of upheavals caused by the warming of the climate, resulting from the pollution by greenhouse gases, against which people talk, and talk. As for all of us, and particularly the countries causing the most pollution, it is urgent to do nothing: "After us, the Flood"!
Today, every inhabitant of this planet must face the day when it will no longer be habitable. Our Lord often repeated to me: "Do and I will do"! As we have done just about nothing, we must expect to live the days that the prophecies announce.
The four horses of the Apocalypse (Revelations 6, 1-8),
represent the four principal aspects of the world at this time:
The white horse: The new false ministers who are preaching a false Christ and false avenues leading to Salvation. All of them keep away from preaching the great Gospel of JESUS Himself, announcing His Return and all His Prophecies for this Time. It is all in the Holy Bible.
The red horse: represents the growing rhythm of the devastation provoked by war, all the murder attempts and all those destructive arms.
The black horse: is the famine in the world and all its consequences.
The green horse: symbolizes the breaking loose of all sorts of epidemics.
It is man who brings upon himself these miseries and those horrible deaths. JESUS knew that, left to itself, Humanity would bring upon itself all those afflictions and that it would risk annihilating all forms all life, unless a divine intervention comes and prevents it. That is the reason for which He promised to intervene decisively one day in the affairs of this world. JESUS is soon coming in order to save us, because Humanity is reaching the end of its tether.
The little book of Daniel. But the book that God kept secret from Daniel has just been opened, for God is coming to save His People. It is the Bible revealed to the one who will obey the Lord who is coming to forewarn us.
Daniel 12, 1-4: "At that time, Michael will rise, the great Prince who mounts guard over your people. It will be a time of great distress, unparalleled, since nations first came into existence.
When that time comes, your own people will be spared, all those whose names are found written in the Book. Of those who lie sleeping in the dust of the earth, many will awake, some to everlasting life, some to shame and everlasting disgrace. The learned will shine as brightly as the splendor of the heavens, and those who have instructed Justice to many, will shine as bright as stars, for all eternity.
But you, Daniel, must keep these words secret and the book sealed, until the time of the End. Many will wander this way and that, and wickedness will go on increasing."
(See note).
It is in Matthew (24, 7-8) that everything is said by JESUS Christ Himself:
" For nation will fight against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be here and there, famines and earthquakes, and all this is only the beginning of the birth-pangs".
In Jerusalem, the Abomination of Desolation
Matthew (24, 12-14): "With the increase of lawlessness, love in most men will grow cold, but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved. This Good News of the Kingdom will be proclaimed to the whole World, as a witness to all the nations. And then, the end will come.
Note: All these readings are from the Jerusalem Bible; the last sentence is really surprising when first read (lawlessness will increase), while other translations say: "knowledge will increase". It is in a note at the bottom of a page that the translator tells us that the word "lawlessness" in the Hebrew language is "knowledge', in referring to the Septante Bible...... This tells us especially of the translator's uncertainty about the meaning intended here: in the Pastoral index of the Bible, the word "lawlessness" is synonymous of fault, injustice, sin, but not knowledge.
Luke (21, 20-24): "When you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, you must realize that she will soon be laid desolate. Then, those in Judea must escape to the mountains, those inside the city must leave it, and those in country districts must not take refuge in it. For this is the time of vengeance, when all that Scripture says must be fulfilled. Alas, for those with child, or with babies at the breast, when those days come! For great misery will descend on the land and wrath on this people. They will fall by the edge of the sword and be led captive to every pagan country; and Jerusalem will be trampled down by the pagans, until the age of the pagans is completely over".
These events will constitute a great abomination for the whole city and desolation will follow. It is the hateful and terrible actions committed by the armies attacking Jerusalem, that will cause this new abomination of the desolation. (It is Jerusalem).
Matthew (24, 15): "So when you see the disastrous abomination, of which the prophet Daniel spoke, set up in the Holy Place". (Let the reader understand).
At this time, there is threat of war in the Near East, and Zechariah's prophecy concerns first all the past, then the future:
Zechariah (14, 2-5): "Yahweh will gather all the nations to Jerusalem for battle. The city will be taken, the houses plundered, the women ravished. Half the city will go into captivity, but the remnant of the people will not be cut off from the city. Then Yahweh will take the field; He will fight against these nations as He fights in the day of battle. On that day, His Feet will rest on the Mount of Olives, which faces Jerusalem from the east. The Mount of Olives will be split in half from east to west, forming a huge gorge; half the Mount will recede northwards, the other half southwards........And the Vale of Hinnom will be filled up from Goah to Jasol. Yahweh your God will come and all the Holy Ones with Him".
This military enterprise in the Near East will launch a war.
Matthew (24, 21-22): "For then there will be great distress such as , until now, there never has been, since the world began, nor ever will be again. And if that time had not been shortened, no one would have survived; but shortened that time shall be, for the sake of those who are chosen".
The moment will have come for JESUS Christ to intervene.
Previously, man has never had the capacity to destroy all life on the Planet as today. Consequently, these prophecies can only be applied to our present time, the End Times and in the near future.
The four Angels (Revelations 9, 14-18)
(the voice) "it spoke to the sixth Angel with the trumpet, and said: 'Release the four Angels that are chained up at the great river Euphrates. These four Angels had been put there, ready for this hour of this day of this month, of this year, and now, they were released to destroy a third of the human race. I learned how many there were in their army; twice ten thousand times ten thousand mounted men. In my vision, I saw the horses, and the riders with their breastplates of flame color, of hyacinth-blue, and sulphur-yellow; the horses had lions' heads, and fire, smoke and sulphur coming out of their mouths. It was by these three plagues, the fire, the smoke and the sulphur coming out of their mouths, that the one-third of the human race was killed".
This tribute predicted by the death - one third of mankind - is added to the third who will have succumbed, following the famines and the epidemics. Zechariah (13,8-9) had clearly announced it: "And it will happen throughout this territory - it is Yahweh who speaks - that two-thirds in it will be cut off ('will be killed'), and the remaining third will be left. I will lead that third into the fire, and refine them as silver is refined, test them as gold is tested. They will call on My Name, and I shall listen; and I shall say: 'These are My people', and each will say 'Yahweh is my God!"
By Isaiah (24, 1-6): Yahweh had already warned:
"See how Yahweh lays the Earth waste, makes it a desert, buckles its surface, scatters its inhabitants, Priest, and people alike, master and slave, mistress and maid, seller and buyer, lender and borrower, creditor and debtor. Ravaged, ravaged the Earth, despoiled, despoiled as Yahweh has said. The Earth is mourning, withering, the world is pining, withering, the Heavens are pining away with the Earth. The Earth is defiled under its inhabitants' feet, for they have transgressed the Law, violated the precept, broken the everlasting covenant. So a curse consumes the Earth, and its inhabitants suffer the penalty, that is why the inhabitants of the Earth are burnt up and few men are left."
There will remain on Earth one third of Humanity, slightly over two billion people. The Most Holy Virgin has foretold us at La Salette: "And the world will be like a desert".
The Return in Glory of Christ will surprise many who are only preoccupied with their problems in the midst of the most terrible era the world has ever known.
Matthew (24, 37-39): "As it was in Noah's day, so will it be when the Son of Man comes. For in those days before the Flood, people were eating, drinking, taking wives, taking husbands, right up to the day Noah went into the Ark, and they suspected nothing till the Flood came and swept all away. It will be like this when the Son of Man comes".
So that mankind is more numerous while waiting
for the Return of Christ, the signs are in the Bible since 2000 years.
Luke (21, 25-28): "There will be signs in the sun and moon and stars; on Earth, nations in agony, bewildered by the clamor of the ocean and its waves; men dying of fear as they await what menaces the world, for the powers of Heaven will be shaken. And then, they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with Power and great Glory. When these things begin to take place, stand erect, hold your heads high, because your liberation is at hand".
Even though it appears to be sneaking in, we are in full world crisis that no man can solve. We are in it. Only Christ will be able to bring back God's Peace on Earth. Stay awake and pray, the hour is near.
The gathering of the Elect at the End of Time.
No other news will shock people more, no front page news could be more spectacular
than the one announcing the Return of JESUS Christ.
Immediately after His Ascension, the Apostles were surprised to see two divine Messengers who gave them this assurance:
Acts (1, 11): "Jesus who has been taken up from you into heaven, this same Jesus will come back in the same way as you have seen Him go there".
Since Creation was completed in six "days" to which we gave a value of 6000 years, we can hope that the 7th day corresponds to a joyous Sabbath of one thousand years. And that JESUS Christ, accompanied by the triumphant militia of the Saints and the Elect having escaped death or miraculously brought back to life, will reign on the Earth until the time designated for the End of the World and the general Resurrection.
In the Time of the End, no one will know the day nor the hour of the Return of JESUS Christ. However, soon before His Return,
"the Good News of the Kingdom will be proclaimed to the whole world as a witness to all the nations". (Matthew 24, 14).
Luke (21, 33, 36): warns us with the Words of Christ Himself:
"Heaven and Earth will pass away, but My Words will never pass away".
"Stay awake, praying at all times for the strength to survive all that is going to happen, and to stand with confidence before the Son of Man".
Luke (12, 43): "Happy that servant if his master's arrival finds him at this employment".
Matthew (24, 44): "Therefore, you too must stand ready because the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect".
Matthew (24, 29-31): Immediately after the distress of those days, the sun will be darkened, the moon will lose its brightness, the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers of Heaven will be shaken". (This can only be seen in severe cold). And then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in Heaven; then too all the peoples of the Earth will beat their breasts; and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of Heaven with Power and great Glory. And He will send His Angels with a loud trumpet to gather His chosen from the four winds, from one end of Heaven to the other".
The Lord will come "as a thief", without foretelling the year, the month, the day nor the hour . But it will not be in silence.
Paul (1 Th 4, 16-18): " At the trumpet of God, the voice of the Archangel will call out the command and the Lord Himself will come down from Heaven; those who have died in Christ will be the first to rise, and then those of us who are still alive, will be taken up in the clouds, together with them, to meet the Lord in the air. So we shall stay with the Lord forever. With such thoughts as these, you should comfort one another."
Paul (1 Th 5, 9): "God never meant us to experience the Retribution, but to win Salvation through our Lord JESUS Christ".
Who will return with Christ?
All the Saints, the true Christians:
Zechariah (14, 4, 8): On that day, His Feet will rest on the Mount of Olives, which faces Jerusalem from the east". "And Yahweh your God will come, and all the Saints with Him. When that day comes, there will be no more cold, no more frost. It will be a day of wonder - Yahweh knows it - with no alternation of day and night; in the evening it will be light. When that day comes, running waters will issue from Jerusalem, half of them to the eastern sea, half of them to the western sea; they will flow summer and winter. And Yahweh will be King of the whole World. When that day comes, Yahweh will be Unique and His Name Unique.
Mark (8, 38): ".........when He comes in the Glory of His Father with the Holy Angels".
Observation: Those who have died in Christ, who have been resurrected, as well as the living Christians (who will have been rendered immortals), will rise in the air to meet Christ, but they will come down immediately with Him on Earth.
This (read and taken from the Bible) reminds me of the message Our Lord gave me on 1st of June 2007, it was "The Confidence of God":
"The children of God shall be spared the fear as they will know it is necessary to come to this, by the road that I will lead you on. Trust Me!
The ocean may rise from everywhere, and the Earth may recede from under your feet, nothing around you will be a support for you to lean on. And yet, you will hold on, you will walk where I lead you. The wind will be relentless, the rain from the sky will flood all around, but still, you will go on walking, supported by My Strength dwelling in you.
Once you arrive where I will lead you, you will stop and wait fearlessly, for at that moment, My Angels will come to take you to a safe place. Do not fear anything else. What I am telling you now is true and this will happen after My signal. I will let you know. Yes, you will hold on that long, for I want them to listen to Me, all those I intend to save through many that I will choose like you, to lead My children where I will gather all of you.
There will be enough of you to form
the children saved by God on this Earth.
I told you that I would warn you as I will the others. Trust Me in what I am asking you to do, and will ask you to do, as time goes by. Yes, behold My Sign: + JESUS Christ, Saviour of mankind, coming to fashion you for the New Earth. The New Heavens will be formed at the same time. Be not afraid. I promised to talk to you about the End Times. As it is getting late, tell anyone to whom you will tell this, to keep for himself, until I give the Signal to inform everyone.
My Heart, I sign this Message."
And now, here is the second dream: I felt called to come out of my home. There was a crowd everywhere in the streets. All those people were moving towards an immense Cathedral whose steeple stood above all other buildings, so high it was. My mother (now deceased), was with me. It was very tiring, this walk. To my question, the Lord answers me:
"indeed, you are waiting for some great event, the Church is conscious of it. But you will be told in advance, for you are the Church, My beloved children.
Have no fear. All of this must happen. This meeting of so many people, those are the ones I call to come to Me.
They are many and they come from everywhere. They are all expecting something as I told you. They come from afar. They've been on the way for a long time, on all sorts of roads, each one leading to a destination I designated for them. Be not afraid, it is not the time yet.
Remain calm and happy, for the Time of the Meeting is near.
The one who will set up this gathering will speak with My Word.
The inhabitants of Heaven are shouting with joy, they are all informed. The Key as you can see, shall be given to you when the moment comes, the one opening all that was hidden, until the day when God appears before you.
Be patient, My chosen child
in the Grace of God.
JESUS Christ.
Amen.
I understand that all this was written concerning our time. I used the Holy Bible so as to reassure those will read this. Nothing was invented by man; all has been in the Bible for at least 20 centuries or more. I had to learn for myself the Holy Truth of God for the End Times that can only be very soon. And in the process of reassuring myself in order to reassure all my brothers in God, and convince them of the urgency of keeping themselves informed. Only the Holy Bible could give me enough confidence to allow me to proceed and make this declaration that I am to write in this book.
Wars, the great Tribulation
and the Return of the Lord.
Today, Sunday March 2nd, 2008, I understand that the Message of June 1st, 2007, as well as that of June 2nd, had its answer in the Holy Bible.
In order to write this whole text: "The prophets have spoken", the Lord guided me. I first received an answer to the question: where would the abomination of desolation be? It will be in the Holiest Place on Earth in Jerusalem, just before the Return of Christ JESUS on Earth.
Luke (21, 20-24): "When you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, you must realize that she will soon be laid desolate. Then those in Judaea must escape to the mountains, those inside the city must leave it, and those in country districts must not take refuge in it. For this is the time of vengeance when all that Scripture says, must be fulfilled. Alas, for those with child, or with babies at the breast, when those days come! For great misery will descend on the land and wrath on this people. They will fall by the edge of the sword and be led captive to every pagan country, and Jerusalem will be trampled down by the pagans until the age of the pagans is completely over".
These events will constitute a great abomination for the whole city, and the desolation will follow. It is in the Holy place. It is Jerusalem. And this is really part of these last Times. One third of Humanity will be spared to live the Reign of God on Earth. Zechariah (13, 8-9).
At this time, there is a threat of war in the Near East. I repeat:
Matthew (24, 21-22): "For then there will be great distress such as, until now, since the world began, there never has been, nor ever will be again. And if that time had not been shortened, no one would have survived; but shortened that time shall be, for the sake of those who are chosen.
Resurrection: 1 Th 4, 15-18
St. Paul (1 Th 4, 15-18): " Any of us who are left alive until the Lord's coming, will not have any advantage over those who have died. At the trumpet of God, the voice of the Archangel will call out the command and the Lord Himself will come down from Heaven; those who have died in Christ will be the first to rise, and then those of us who are still alive will be taken up in the clouds, together with them, to meet the Lord in the air. So we shall stay with the Lord for ever. With such thoughts as these you should comfort one another". (We will come down with Him).
Revelations (5, 10): " You have made men for God, and made them a line of kings and priests to serve our God and to rule the world".
Revelations (20, 6): "Happy and blessed are those who share in the first Resurrection! The second death cannot affect them, but they will be priests of God and of Christ, and will reign with Him for a thousand years".
The Heavenly Jerusalem comes
down to the city of Jerusalem.
I know Lord, why You made me take the Holy Bible: so that my brother prophets and I could meet as our voices blend together. We share Your Voice to guide us in mobilizing all Your scattered children, in these End Times.
These last visions, as seen in my dreams, had to be confirmed by the prophets of ancient times. My dreams and their interpretation had to meet the prophecies of old, in order to appear similar to Your People of today, who are hard headed even more than the children of the Old Testament.
They at last, will understand all that You are doing to call on them to understand and to love You. And to this end, it was necessary that all this would be confirmed by the Holy Bible, that this wonderful meeting of the Living of Heaven and Earth and the Saints from Heaven and the Saints on Earth, had to happen in this thrice Holy City of Jerusalem, the one in Palestine which is to greet the Heavenly Jerusalem which is coming down from God's Heaven.
Lord, the writing You gave me on June 1st 2007, confirms the Protection You will give to Your children who are alive and called upon to follow You to a certain place on Earth, where the Angels will come and lead us to a safe place. And then, St. Paul (1Th 4, 15-16) confirms that we will be taken up together with those who have Risen, in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and this way, we shall always be with the Lord, and we will come down on the Earth with Him.
And in the June 2nd 2007 writing, JESUS confirms that "we are waiting for a great event, the Church is conscious of it. But you will be told in advance, for the Church is you, My beloved children".
This is the Time of that Meeting. The crowd was coming towards that Cathedral. In Heaven, all the inhabitants are all informed of this, they are exulting with joy. And that huge Cathedral, whose steeple rises above all buildings, is Jerusalem, the Holy City.
If today, I did not read the Holy Bible, I could not say that all this will soon happen. But let us Trust and Hope, Our Lord is Marvelous in His Holy Mercy.

L. began to receive a message and said, "Jesus, please cover me with Your Most
Precious Blood." (and many other numerous prayers)
Then your Father spoke, " Dear daughter, tell My people, one more time, that the
earth is slowly going through a drastic change. Big cities will be no more.
Rivers will be dry land and new rivers will form. Many homes and much industry
will never again be seen. 'Mountains will fall. Hills will turn to dust.'
There will be a New Heavens and a New Earth with no more sin OR sinners.
All must be purified and all WILL now be purified. I've told you 'Heaven and
earth will pass away but, My word will NEVER pass away.'
This, children, is true for I am Truth and I speak ONLY truth.
Boundaries will change. Many countries will be obliterated, states will
too, although some will remain but- - -smaller. The hour is coming when all
will happen at breakneck speak. Look reality in the eye. Take off your
rose-colored glasses. Accept the truth for very soon you'll have no other
choice! The purification IS upon you!
Be reconciled to Me- - -IMMEDIATELY!!! Only I, your Father God, know the day
or the hour. All has begun! Preparedness is of utmost importance. Amen I say-

God spoke with a new title "God among you"
" I AM GOD AMONG YOU! I have told you all to do to prepare for these times and

The virgins purchased oil for their lamps. My Angels marked doors with the

Message to Victoria Spalding April 19,2008
Words of Jesus (taken by Victoria Spalding) April 19, 2008 (K of C Hall, Bowie, MD)
My dear people, I am here with you tonight because I long to be with you always. Do not fear the future ever, for your God of mercy is able to take all of your good actions and turn them into positive circumstances in your lives. That is why I am asking you to believe in Me and to spend time with Me. In doing so, you will learn the will of your Father in Heaven.
My dear people, I am your loving God of mercy, who is here with you tonight to teach you of my goodness. Each time you come to Me in hopes of being restored to the truth, I allow you to hear Me in your heart and soul. So do not hesitate to spend time with Me in front of the tabernacle of my love for you, so that you may always enjoy my presence here on earth, as well as in heaven.
I am with you, my dear people, teaching you of my strength inside of you, when you receive Me in Holy Communion and when you honor Me through the sacraments that you receive and when you listen to my voice in your heart. For it is there that I will make my dwelling place for all to see.
I love you, my dear people. Come closer to Me through this message that you have received, and reiterate to one another the promises that you have received from my Father in heaven. In doing so, you will glorify my Father forever.
I love you, my dear people. Go in peace.
&n bsp; www.myfathersmercy.com <http://www.myfathersmercy.com>
REFLECTION:
In this message, Jesus is reassuring us how much the Father loves us. Jesus tells us never to fear the future or dwell on gloom and doom. Instead, we are called to hope and trust in God, who sees all our good actions and who makes use of them to help us in any situation.
Jesus is calling us to spend time with Him in silence, especially in front of the tabernacle, and to listen to His voice in our hearts. There He will speak to us and give us His Father¢s direction for our lives. This way, we will come to know Jesus and the Father more intimately, and we will also draw from Jesus¢ strength. That is why it is so important to spend quiet time with the Lord.
Jesus is also asking us to remind each other daily of the Father¢s love for us. We can do this by reiterating to one another of the Father¢s promises, so that we can come to glorify God in heaven. This is what Jesus teaches us to do in the Gospels, in imitation of Him. Through these means, we will become true followers of our Savior and bring others home to God.
Prayer: Lord, help me make use of my time, so I can spend more quiet time with you. Teach me your will, and help me to glorify you and your Father by my words and actions, both now and forever. I ask this through the working of the Holy Spirit in my life. Amen.
Holy Mother Mary, pray for us!
St. Joseph, protect us! Amen.
Medjugorje Day By Day Apr 29 - ST. CATHERINE OF SIENA
"[Eucharistic] Adoration such as that is always more than just talking with
God in a general way. But against that could then rightly be voiced the
objection that is always to be heard: I can just as well pray in the forest, in the freedom of nature. Certainly, anyone can. But if it were only a matter of that, then the initiative of prayer would lie entirely with us; then God would be a mental hypothesis—whether he answers, whether he can answer or wants to, would remain open. The Eucharist means, God has answered: The Eucharist is God as an answer, as an answering presence" (Pope Benedict XVI).
"Praise and glory be to you, O loving Jesus Christ, for the most sacred wound
in your side . . . and for your infinite mercy which you made known to us in
the opening of your breast to the soldier Longinus, and so to us all. I pray
you, O most gentle Jesus, having redeemed me by baptism from original sin, so
now, by your Precious Blood, which is offered and received throughout the
world, deliver me from all evils, past, present and to come" (St. Clare of Assisi).
Mother Teresa
It's not how much we give but how much love we put into giving.
Meditations by Padre Pio -
Apr 29 Walk cheerfully and with a sincere and open heart as much as you can, and when you cannot always maintain this holy joy, at least do not lose heart or your trust in God (Epist IV p 490).
Archbishop Fulton Sheen
There's no happiness in the realm of the ego
"The modern tendency is toward the affirmation of the ego, the exaltation of selfishness, riding roughshod over others in order to satisfy our own self-centeredness. It certainly has not produced much happiness, for the more the ego asserts itself the more miserable it becomes."
St. Faustina's diary <http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html> -
This firm resolution to become a saint is extremely pleasing to Me. I bless your efforts and will give you opportunities to sanctify yourself Be watchful that you lose no opportunity that My providence offers you for sanctification. If you do not succeed in taking advantage of an opportunity, do not lose your peace, but humble yourself profoundly before Me and, with great trust, immerse yourself completely in My mercy. In this way, you gain more than you have lost, because more favor is granted to a humble soul than the soul itself asks for... (1361)
Jesus, do not leave me alone in suffering. You know, Lord, how weak I am. I am an abyss of wretchedness, I am nothingness itself; so what will be so strange if You leave me alone and I fall? I am an infant, Lord, so I cannot get along by myself. However, beyond all abandonment I trust, and in spite of my own feeling I trust, and I am being completely transformed into trust-often in spite of what I feel. Do not lessen any of my sufferings, only give me strength to bear them. Do with me as You please, Lord, only give me the grace to be able to love You in every event and circumstance. Lord, do not lessen my cup of bitterness, only give me strength that I may be able to drink it all.
O Lord, sometimes You lift me up to the brightness of visions, and then again You plunge me into the darkness of night and the abyss of my nothingness, and my soul feels as if it were alone in the wilderness. Yet, above all things, I trust in You, Jesus, for You are unchangeable. My moods change, but You are always the same, full of mercy. (1489)
MEDJUGORJE DAY BY DAY
These thoughts for a day are taken from a daily meditation book based on the Messages of Our Lady of Medjugorje by Father Richard J. Beyer, Ave Maria Press.
APRIL 29 - ST. CATHERINE OF SIENA
Today the Blessed Mother speaks of divine mercy:
Pray especially on Sunday that the great sign, a gift from God, may come. Pray with fervor and perseverance that God may have mercy on his great children. Go in peace, my angels. May the blessing of God accompany your. Amen. Goodbye (First Years September 6, 1981).
And from Mary's Magnificat in Luke's gospel:
By the tender mercy of our God,
The dawn from on high will break upon us,
To give light to those who sit in darkness
And the shadow of death,
To guide our feet into the way of peace.
---Luke 1:78-79
Reflection:
Of mercy, St. Catherine of Siena once prayed: "O Lord, by reason of your immeasurable love I beg, with all my strength, that you freely extend your mercy to all your lowly creatures." God's unbounded mercy was one of the great motivations of the ministry and work of St. Catherine. A remarkable woman of faith, she was not only a great scholar and reformer of religious life, but also brought peace and concord to the feuding city-states of Italy in the 14th century. Her many writings include The Dialogue on Divine Providence, from which the following is excerpted:Eternal God, eternal Trinity, you have made the Blood of Christ immeasurably precious through his sharing in your divine nature. You are a mystery as deep as the sea; the more I search, the more I find, and the more I find the more I search for you.
I can never be satisfied; what I receive will ever leave me desiring more. When you fill my soul I have an even greater hunger and I grow more famished for your light. I desire above all else to see you, the true light, as you really are.
Application:
Today, simply offer this little prayer to the Father, also written by St. Catherine:
O tender Father, you gave me more, much more than I ever thought to ask for. I realize that our human desires can never really match what you long to give us.
Thank you, and thank you again, O Father, for having granted my petitions, and even that which I never realized I needed. Amen.
Message of April 25, 2006 "Dear children! Also today I call you to have more trust in me and my Son. He has conquered by His death and resurrection and, through me, calls you to be a part of His joy. You do not see God, little children, but if you pray you will feel His nearness. I am with you and intercede before God for each of you. Thank you for having responded to my call." Message of April 25, 2005 from Medjugorje "Dear children! Also today, I call you to renew prayer in your families. By prayer and the reading of Sacred Scripture, may the Holy Spirit, who will renew you, enter into your families. In this way, you will become teachers of the faith in your family. By prayer and your love, the world will set out on a better way and love will begin to rule in the world. Thank you for having responded to my call." To subscribe to Children of Medjugorje use link below <http://www.childrenofmedjugorje.com/lists> "Nourished and sustained by the Eucharist, Catholics cannot but feel stimulated to tend towards that full unity for which Christ hoped in the Cenacle. Peter's Successor knows that he must take on this supreme desire of the Divine Master in a particularly special way. To him, indeed, has been entrusted the duty of strengthening his brethren . . . . 'Mane nobiscum, Domine!' Stay with us Lord! This invocation, which forms the dominant theme of John Paul II's Apostolic Letter for the Year of the Eucharist, is the prayer that comes spontaneously from my heart as I turn to begin the ministry to which Christ has called me. Like Peter, I too renew to Him my unconditional promise of faithfulness. He alone I intend to serve as I dedicate myself totally to the service of His Church" (Pope Benedict XVI, April 20, 2005).

Here is the living fountain of Your mercy, here souls receive consolation and refreshment" (St. Faustina, Divine Mercy Diary). Cardinal Siri to Bishop Hnilica 1989 "I have noticed that the people who come from Medjugorje become apostles... They renew the Church." Medjugorje and the Church, Sr Emmanuel & Denis Nolan p 9 Mother Teresa Everything is God's to give and to take away, so share what you've been given, and that includes yourself. Daily reading from St. Faustina's diary Today the Lord said to me, My daughter, My pleasure and delight, nothing will stop Me from granting you graces. Your misery does not hinder My mercy. My daughter, write that the greater the misery of a soul, the greater its right to My mercy; [urge] all souls to trust in the unfathomable abyss of My mercy, because I want to save them all. On the cross, the fountain of My mercy was opened wide by the lance for all souls-no one have I excluded! (1182) O my Jesus, nothing can lower my ideals, that is, the love which I have for You. Although the path is very thorny, I do not fear to go ahead. Even if a hailstorm of persecutions covers me; even if my friends forsake me; even if all things conspire against me, and the horizon grows dark; even if a raging storm breaks out, and I feel I am quite alone and must brave it all; still, fully at peace, I will trust in Your mercy, O my God, and my hope will not be disappointed. (1195) Meditations by Padre Pio When there is no time for both, meditation is to be preferred to vocal prayer, because it is more fruitful. MEDJUGORJE DAY BY DAY These thoughts for a day are taken from a daily meditation book based on the Messages of Our Lady of Medjugorje by Father Richard J. Beyer, Ave Maria Press APRIL 27 - SAY YES TO JESUS NOW! In a message to Jelena, the locutionist, on commitment, Our Lady said: « Dear Children, it is truly a great thing when God calls men. Think how sad it would be to let those opportunities pass without taking advantage of them. So do not wait for tomorrow or the day after. Say « yes! » to Jesus now! And may your « yes! » be forever. » (locutionist Jelena & Mirijana May 16, 1987). When Christ called his disciples, their « yes » was immediate: As he walked by the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea—for they were fishermen. And he said to them, « Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men, » Immediately they left their nets and followed him (Mt 4:18-10). Reflection: An anonymous writer once wrote, « There are two words used a great deal by Jesus in the gospels. One is `come' and the other is `go'. It's no use coming unless you go, and it's no use going unless you come. Christ call us, as he did his apostles, to make a commitment, a lifetime decision, for him. And at the right time, we are then sent forth to draw others to him through our word and example. First `come,' then `go' » This is precisely the message of Our Lady today. Application: In your prayer this day, using your own words, commit yourself completely to Christ and his Mother. |

"One of the basic characteristics of a shepherd must be to love the people entrusted to him, even as he loves Christ whom he serves. 'Feed my sheep.' says Christ to Peter, and now, at this moment, He says it to me as well. Feeding means loving, and loving also means being ready to suffer. Loving means giving the sheep what is truly good, the nourishment of God's truth, of God's word, the nourishment of His presence, which He gives us in the blessed Sacrament" (Pope Benedict XVI, April 24, 2005). Idea inspired by Pope John Paul II's Ecclesia de Eucharistia to help celebrate the Year of the Eucharist: "Whoever comes to Me will never hunger, and whoever believes in Me will never thirst" (Jn 6:35). "Keep alive in the community a genuine `hunger' for the Eucharist" (33).

Planned Parenthood often asserts it is merely a benevolent health information organization. This subterfuge is often employed when the organization sends its materials and speakers to schools and youth organizations such as the Girl Scouts. Morgentaler accepted his award Sunday at the Human Rights Monument on Elgin Street as part of a series of pro-abortion events across the country. Despite disclaimers to the contrary, the fact that PPFC is a branch of the largest and most aggressive abortion-providing lobby group in the world is widely acknowledged. The Canadian affiliate has had a long association with Dr. Morgentaler the undisputed father of abortion in Canada. "If we don't want to be fools and blind the intellect there's no reason for doubt. Receiving Communion is not like picturing with the imagination, as when we reflect upon the Lord on the cross or in other episodes of the Passion, when we picture within ourselves how things happened to Him in the past. In Communion the event is happening now, and it is entirely true. There's no reason to go looking for Him in some other place far away" (St. Teresa of Avila). Pope John Paul II Pope John Paul II to Archbishop Benitez November 1994 "Authorize everything that concerns Medjugorje." Medjugorje and the Church, Sr Emmanuel & Denis Nolan p 21 Mother Teresa It is impossible to walk rapidly and be unhappy. Meditations by Padre Pio - Apr 28 The darkness that sometimes surrounds the heaven of your soul is light. Because of this you think you are in the dark, and you have the impression of being in the centre of a burning bush. In fact when the bush burns, the air around it is filled with smoke clouds and the bewildered soul is afraid of not seeing, of no longer understanding anything. But it is then that God speaks and is present to the soul: who hears, understands, loves and trembles. Therefore, do not wait for Tabor to see God when you already contemplate Him on Sinai! (GF 174). Archbishop Fulton Sheen 28-True passion takes guts and courage "To revive passion in hearts, one must first understand it. Passion signifies receiving or suffering something or submitting to something. From this, follow two indispensable conditions for passion: knowledge, and some organic or physical change in our sensible nature." St. Faustina's diary <http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html> - Today the Lord said to me, My daughter, My pleasure and delight, nothing will stop Me from granting you graces. Your misery does not hinder My mercy. My daughter, write that the greater the misery of a soul, the greater its right to My mercy; [urge] all souls to trust in the unfathomable abyss of My mercy, because I want to save them all.

Beyer, Ave Maria Press. 5865 APRIL 28 - OVERCOME EVERY TEMPTATION The Blessed Mother warns of temptations today: "Dear Children, you know that I promised you an oasis of peace, but don't realize that beside the oasis stands the desert, where Satan is lurking and wants to tempt each one of you. Dear Children, only through prayer can you overcome every temptation of Satan where you are in your life, I am with you, but I cannot take away your freedom. (Weekly Message August 7, 1986). In Matthew's gospel, Jesus encounters the temptations of Satan: Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor; and he said to him, "All these I will give your, if you will fall down and worship me." Jesus said to him, "Away with you, Satan! For it is written, `Worship the Lord your God, and serve only him." Then the devil left him, and suddenly angels came and waited on him (Mt 4:8-11). Reflection: To be sure, if Christ was subject to temptation, we likewise will have share. And yet, according to the Shepherd of Hermas, an early church write: "The devil cannot lord it over those who are servants of God with their whole heart and who place their hope in him. The devil can wrestle with, but not overcome them." In today's message, Our Lady teaches that only by prayer can we overcome the influence of Satan in our lives. "To realize God's presence," writes Francois Fenelon, "is the one sovereign remedy against temptation." And yet God can even use Satan's wiles for his own ends. As the ancient Hawaiians believed that the strength and color of the enemy he killed passed into himself, so we gain the strength of the temptations we resist. Application: Reflect on the following today: "Inconstancy of mind, and small confidence in God, is the beginning of all evil temptations" (St. Thomas a Kempis). |
