Our Lady of Zeitoun and the Slaughter of the Innocents



Below is a repost of material I originally wrote in 2011 concerning the significance of the Church approved apparitions of Our Lady of Zeitoun.  Following the recent legalisation of abortion here in the north of Ireland, I think contemplation of these apparitions are extremely timely.  Despite being witnessed on an unprecedented scale by hundreds of thousands, if not millions of individuals, the apparitions of Our Lady of Zeitoun have been widely overlooked by the Western media, and indeed by many Catholics. The apparitions of Our Lady of Light, which began to appear April 1968 to the present are the only known precedent of the category of visions known in Catholic theology as visio sensibilis to be witnessed on such an extraordinary scale. This refers to an objective physical manifestation, rather than a purely subjective psychological apparition, which is by far the most common form of such phenomena.

The only other major Marian apparition witnessed on a comparable scale is that of the Miracle of the Sun at Fatima, which again is to be differentiated from those of Our Lady of Light in the fact that the Virgin Mary could only be seen by the three shepherd children.  Instead of receiving visions of Our Lady, the crowds at Fatima witnessed the Sun spinning and dancing in the sky at the Cova de Iria .The Miracle of the Sun itself may have been a combination of unusual weather phenomena with the visio imaginativa class of vision (which whilst fully visible to the seer, these apparitions are perceived only through the mind's eye), since there was a small minority of people who could not see what the rest of the crowd were experiencing.  We must also keep in mind that the numbers of those who have witnessed the apparitions of Our Lady of Light far outweigh the estimated 70,000 people present during the Miracle of the Sun.

Despite being officially recognised as authentic by the local Cardinal Patriarch, the fact that Our Lady chose to appear over Coptic churches in Egypt, rather than Catholic churches elsewhere in the world has baffled some commentators, and can perhaps explain the lack of adequate devotion to these apparitions amongst Catholics.  It seems that many have failed to recognise the true significance of these apparitions lies above all in their timing and location. The Virgin Mary chose to appear over Coptic churches for two very simple reasons - firstly because she is re-tracing the steps of the Holy Family's flight into Egypt (and the vast majority of churches in Egypt are Coptic, especially those in locations associated with the sojourn of the Holy Family), and secondly, that despite not being in full communion with Rome, they show that Our Lady has deep love and respect for the Coptic Church, which like the rest of Oriental Orthodoxy, as well as the Eastern Orthodox Church, offers a great devotion to her.

While some have recognised that Our Lady is in some way re-enacting the journey of the Holy Family during their flight into Egypt, none (to my knowledge) have went on to ponder the primary reason for their escape into the Egyptian wilderness and attempt to re-apply the same conditions to a modern context; or compare them with the account of Woman adorned with the Sun given in Rev 12 - which is basically the story of the nativity seen through an apocalyptic lens. The reason that the Holy Family fled into Egypt was in order to escape from King Herod, who in an attempt to quash any potential Messianic usurpers to his throne, had ordered the massacre of any infants in the vicinity of Bethlehem under two years of age:

Now when they had departed, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and said, “Rise, take the child and his mother, and flee to Egypt, and remain there until I tell you, for Herod is about to search for the child, to destroy him.” And he rose and took the child and his mother by night and departed to Egypt and remained there until the death of Herod. This was to fulfill what the Lord had spoken by the prophet, “Out of Egypt I called my son.”
Then Herod, when he saw that he had been tricked by the wise men, became furious, and he sent and killed all the male children in Bethlehem and in all that region who were two years old or under, according to the time that he had ascertained from the wise men. Then was fulfilled what was spoken by the prophet Jeremiah:
“A voice was heard in Ramah, weeping and loud lamentation, Rachel weeping for her children;
she refused to be comforted, because they are no more.”
But when Herod died, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, saying, “Rise, take the child and his mother and go to the land of Israel, for those who sought the child's life are dead.” And he rose and took the child and his mother and went to the land of Israel.
(Matt 2:13-21)

If we compare the above passage in the Gospel of Matthew with the account of the Woman adorned with the Sun in Rev 12, we can see that this portion of the Book of Revelation is an apocalyptic version of the story of the nativity:

And a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars. She was pregnant and was crying out in birth pains and the agony of giving birth. And another sign appeared in heaven: behold, a great red dragon, with seven heads and ten horns, and on his heads seven diadems. His tail swept down a third of the stars of heaven and cast them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was about to give birth, so that when she bore her child he might devour it. She gave birth to a male child, one who is to rule all the nations with a rod of iron, but her child was caught up to God and to his throne, and the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God, in which she is to be nourished for 1,260 days. (Rev 12:1-6)

This portion of the Apocalypse is recapitulated again after a brief interlude describing the "War in Heaven" between the archangel Michael and Satan, who is cast from the heavenly throne room to earth:

And when the dragon saw that he had been thrown down to the earth, he pursued the woman who had given birth to the male child. But the woman was given the two wings of the great eagle so that she might fly from the serpent into the wilderness, to the place where she is to be nourished for a time, and times, and half a time. The serpent poured water like a river out of his mouth after the woman, to sweep her away with a flood. But the earth came to the help of the woman, and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed the river that the dragon had poured from his mouth. Then the dragon became furious with the woman and went off to make war on the rest of her offspring, on those who keep the commandments of God and hold to the testimony of Jesus. And he stood on the sand of the sea. (Rev 12:13-17)

The equation of the Woman adorned with the Sun with the Virgin Mary is a long standing tradition in the Catholic Church, as is attested by the various icons (such as Our Lady of Guadalupe) which depict her as arrayed with the radiance of the Sun, a crown of stars, and with a cresent moon at her feet. This asssociation has recently been re-affirmed by Pope Benedict XVI during his address honouring Our Lady at the feast of the Immaculate Conception on 8th December 2011 (see here).



The Crescent Moon under the feet of Our Lady of Guadalupe. The "horns" of this crescent shape most likely represent Satan, who positions himself at Our Lady's feet in an attempt to devour her offspring. But ultimately Our Lady is the one who crushes the Serpent's head. The word Guadalupe is thought to be taken from the Aztec Nahuatl word Coatlaxopeuh (pronounced "quatlachupe") which means "the one who crushes the serpent".


The seven-headed dragon which positions itself at the woman's feet, ready to devour her child upon birth represents Herod's intentions to destroy the Child Jesus after his birth in Bethlehem. Herod's attempt to kill Our Lord at birth is also hinted at again later in the chapter, when the serpent pours out flood waters to sweep away the Woman and Child. To escape from this threat the Woman is given the "two wings of the great eagle" and escapes into the wilderness for a "time, times and half a time", or three and a half years - which according to Coptic tradition is exactly the length of time the Holy Family sojourned in Egypt. According to this tradition, after the Holy Family reached Assiut (the location of the apparitions in the year 2000), they turned back to re-trace their journey in the Egyptian wilderness, and when they reached Gabal Dranka (the location of the apparitons during the year 2001) Joseph recieved his dream telling them to go back to the land of Israel. This has led many commentators to suggest  that the year 2000 was the turning point of this re-enactment of the flight into Egypt, with the apparitions now making the homeward journey.

The backdrop of Egypt is doubly significant, as this is the location of the original "slaughter of the innocents" as recounted in the Book of Exodus, which acts as a precusor to Herod's massacre of the infants of Bethlehem:

 Now there arose a new king over Egypt, who did not know Joseph. And he said to his people, “Behold, the people of Israel are too many and too mighty for us. Come, let us deal shrewdly with them, lest they multiply, and, if war breaks out, they join our enemies and fight against us and escape from the land...”

 ...Then Pharaoh commanded all his people, “Every son that is born to the Hebrews you shall cast into the Nile, but you shall let every daughter live.” (Exod 1:8-10; 22)

And then again later in the Book of Exodus, we are told how the angel of death, or "Destroyer" as he is called in the original Hebrew (which recalls the Destroyer - "Apolloyon" or "Abaddon" of Rev 9), kills the Egyptian firstborn:

 Then Moses called all the elders of Israel and said to them, “Go and select lambs for yourselves according to your clans, and kill the Passover lamb. Take a bunch of hyssop and dip it in the blood that is in the basin, and touch the lintel and the two doorposts with the blood that is in the basin. None of you shall go out of the door of his house until the morning. For the LORD will pass through to strike the Egyptians, and when he sees the blood on the lintel and on the two doorposts, the LORD will pass over the door and will not allow the destroyer to enter your houses to strike you...
(Exod 12:21-23)

 ...At midnight the LORD struck down all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sat on his throne to the firstborn of the captive who was in the dungeon, and all the firstborn of the livestock. And Pharaoh rose up in the night, he and all his servants and all the Egyptians. And there was a great cry in Egypt, for there was not a house where someone was not dead. (Exod 12:29-30)

It is also interesting to note that the Greek word used for "place" in Rev 12 - topos, is used elsewhere in the New Testament with the meaning of "temple" or "sanctuary". So the passage in Rev 12 could also be translated as "But the woman was given the two wings of the great eagle so that she might fly from the serpent into the wilderness, to the temple where she is to be nourished for a time, and times, and half a time" - a translation which certainly evokes imagery of the apparitions of Our Lady of Light, which to date have almost exclusively occurred over church buildings.

So once we have determined that the primary reason for the the flight of the Holy Family into Egypt was the "slaughter of the innocents", we can see that this heavenly re-enactment of the nativity was to announce to the world that it was about to partake in a modern day "slaughter of the innocents". I will post a quote from my book Unveiling the Apocalypse: The Final Passover of the Church on this subject below:

Just as the original flight of the Holy Family into Egypt was necessitated by an act of mass infanticide, these apparitions of the Virgin Mary in Egypt began to appear amidst the backdrop of what was the beginning of the greatest act of infanticide the world has ever known – the legalisation of abortion. The year in which the apparitions in Zeitoun first occurred was a pivotal moment in process behind the legalisation of abortion. The Abortion Act in the UK came into effect during April 1968, the same month the apparitions began to take place. This year also saw President Lyndon Johnson's Committee on The Status of Women publishing a report calling for a repeal of all abortion laws in the US. The implementation of the UK Abortion Act was the major turning point in international abortion law, and was soon to be followed by a host of other nations. By mid-1969 ten US states had loosened their abortion laws, including Colorado, North Carolina, California, Georgia, Maryland, Arkansas, Kansas, Delaware, Oregon and New Mexico. Abortion on demand was eventually established after the US Supreme Court deemed individual state bans on abortion to be unconstitutional following the Roe v Wade case in 1973.

In France, women seeking an abortion began to travel to the UK to have the procedure after the Abortion Act came into effect in 1968. The relative ease of travelling to the UK to procure an abortion would lead to France revising its own abortion laws, and abortion was finally legalised in France in 1975. 

Therefore the appearances of the Virgin Mary in Egypt occurred at the exact moment the floodgates in abortion law had been opened. Was this a heavenly response to the blood of millions of innocents crying from the ground? 

Marian apparitions often occur before periods of great upheaval. Perhaps most famously, Our Lady appeared at Fatima just before the rise of communist Russia - with the Miracle of the Sun on the 13th October 1917 directly coinciding with the October Revolution which saw the Bolsheviks rise to power within a month. The other Church approved apparition at Beauraing and Banneux, in Belgium during the years 1932 and 1933 respectively appeared just before the rise to power of Hitler, who was made chancellor of Germany on 30th January 1933 - the same month when the first apparitions at Banneux occurred on the 15th. The apparitions at Kibeho, Rwanda, between 1981-1989 prophesied the Rwandian genocide, which was to claim the lives of an estimated 800,000 people in 1994, including one of the visionaries - Marie Claire. While the significance of the apparitions at Zeitoun are thought by some to be related to the Six Day War of 1967, it is much more likely to concern the legalisation of abortion, given the above background context. The fact that the Six Day War took place before these apparitions would also indicate that the Zeitoun apparitions were not related to this event, since all the other apparitions appeared before the events occurred. Our Lady first began to appear at Zeitoun on 2nd April 1968, and the UK Abortion Act was brought into effect just weeks later on 27th April.

Now that the apparitions of Our Lady of Light are in the process of making the return journey, we are left to reflect upon Matthew's quote of Hosea 11:1: "Out of Egypt I called my Son". During the season of Advent, the Church looks not only to the first coming of Christ, but it also focuses on His Second Coming. The birth-pangs of the Woman adorned with the Sun indicates that the Second Advent is near. Could these apparitions, which appear to be the ultimate fulfillment of the prophecy of the Woman adorned with the Sun, signal that God is calling his Son out of Egypt to return to His earthly homeland?

Merry Christmas, Emmett.
Thank you for your article. In your first paragraph, you note that Our Lady of Light apparitions are in the category known as visio sensibilis. Would the apparitions at Knock also be within this category as they were seen by a number of people?

Hello Mr. O'Regan, Christ is Born, alelyuya (and for January 7 for brothers and sisters in Christ in Eastern and Oriental Orthodox and some Eastern Catholics)! This is an very interesting point. I've been interested in it a long time, this vision of the Holy Mother, and your explanation of why it would come makes sense too. I had seen a video (from Israeli programme?), but not seeming very easy to believe, and many years ago, before Internet even, that this vision was made using secret Soviet hologramming technology given by Brezhnev and Grechko to fake after Egypt defeat in the war you mention, for purpose of rebuilding el-Nasser prestige, and for purpose of sympathy of Christians against Israel. Very hard to believe that brutal atheistic power would fake vision of religion). I don't think in 1968 such hologram was ever made yet). Maybe to show that deception to discredit a real and honest vision, and the flight into Egypt and the way back home to Nazareth after Herod the Great is dead makes more sense. Our Lady of Fatima, I wonder if the sun in the visions of the miracle so many saw could be very literal, how sun seems to grow in size rushing closer to the Earth, with great heat enough to dry out all the clothes and such. Is there any theories of that, maybe of the Earth warming up from a hot sun, because temperatures are hotter now since 10,000 years ago? I don't want a big argument because I know some Americans don't believe in science, and that is okay fine. And in these days of so many wrong things and confusion, maybe could there be on purpose warming, like the conspiracy of jet planes leaving trails of chemicals? If antichrist is said to come when the planet has many problems to fix and he has all the answers to fix, maybe him, or evil preparers benefit from create of a crisis of hot planet, and many other crisis that it makes for no water, desert and less growing land, so famine & diseases. So then comes the big "hero" to solve it all. Hm. To create problems just so no one know what to do but antichrist to fix problem him or preparers make in the first place? Concluding, I saw on U.S.A. CNN website a few days past about Betelgeuse star in shoulder of Orion that something strange is going on in it, and even could be sign of supernovae, but other place says no worries to be had, like this, https://www.syfy.com/syfywire/dont-panic-betelgeuse-is-almost-certainly-not-about-to-explode But it still makes me wonder at the reports it would be as large and bright as a full moon for months (it made me think of Star of Bethlehem, wondering if that was maybe a supernovae just like an exploding Betelgeuse would be so very big and bright. Are histories of any real big astronomy event that don't mean anything at all, just something interesting in the sky, or would such a impossible to not make a note of sky event likely mean something bigger every time? I know astrology forbidden by Jesus but wonder if God warn us in the stars, like, something big on Earth is about to become of us every time the stars in the sky act unfamiliar? I read here of the dragon and the women in childbirth pains, it fits very well along as signs of the Devil being cast out of Heaven by Archangel Michael. Just to mention, he is a great saint, November 8 it is forbidden to have any quarrels, or do anything on Saint Michael's Day for one self, but for others only. He is patron saint of Ukraine and of Kyiv.

Moses escaped alive during the slaughter of the innocents in Egypt, and then led the people of Israel to the promised land.
Jesus Christ escaped alive during the slaughter of innocents in Bethlehem, and then led many, both Jews and Gentiles, into his Holy Church.
Who is Satan hunting for by slaughtering innocents around the world in our times, especially among Christian and post-Christian nations?
Answer: Evil hunts Paraclete*! Who is Paraclete? One of the sons of our Mother Holy Church. Paraclete is the Son-man born of the Woman clothed with the sun. She fled with him to the desert to save him! What is the role of Paraclete? He will bring the elect to God's Kingdom on earth!

*This is not a proper name, but a role to be fulfilled in the history of salvation.

MyronM said...

Satan would like to appropriate the moon as his symbol - his never-to-be. Moon-Luna is a symbol of motherhood of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Luna underfoot (Guadelupe) is a sign that the Virgin is about to give birth to a child. This child is her Son-Man, whom as our Mother the Holy Church gives birth in these end times. He is the great eagle because She stands on his shoulders. Saint Juan Diego was called the Talking Eagle before baptism. This saint, who on December 26, 1531 transferred the image of the Virgin of Guadelupe from the episcopal palace to the chapel (his house) on the hill of Tepayac is the antitype of Paraclete*, this true Great Eagle, who provides shelter to the Blessed Mother and the elect.
The apocalypse is not a repetition of the birth story of the Holy Savior, Jesus Christ, but tells about the Holy Virgin, Paraclete, the end of the Roman Catholic church and the transition of the elect to the real Kingdom of God on earth.
*Paraclete is not the Holy Spirit, but someone full of the Holy Spirit, the chosen son of our Virgin Mother the Holy Church.

Merry Christmas everyone! So how cool would it be if the East-West Schism was bookended by a pair of supernova?! We have the 1054 supernova at the split...and maybe JUST MAYBE Betelguese going supernova whenever the Church reunites? Both events are inevitable at some point...talk about incredible IF they would coincide!

Supernovas are not scheduled until after the reign of Pope Francis and during the reign of Peter the Roman.

Bridget said...

Do you guys remember us talking about the last full moon of the decade on Dec. 12th in the com box of the previous post? No one really saw much significance, but I was reading over on Carlos Caso-Rosendi’s blog, and he brought up some interesting points!

https://casorosendi.wordpress.com/2019/12/28/the-avenger-of-the-innocent/

“Recently, a friend of mine who has received the gift of divine premonitions, told me “We have gone past a threshold” when I asked her about the Last Full Moon of 2019 that rose on 12/12/2019 at 12:12, US East Coast time. Some have observed that Last Full Moon comes 6,666 days after the destruction of the World Trade Center on 9/11/2001.

At the same time, comet Borisov is passing by our solar system. It is the first comet ever detected coming from a galaxy not our own. Its closest approximation to our Sun happened on December 8, 2019 –during the feast of the Immaculate Conception— and it will be the closest to our planet Earth on December 28, 2019 –when the Church remembers the Holy Innocents. It seems to me that is a significant coincidence, perhaps a warning similar to the celestial warnings that both the Aztecs and king Herod himself received in ancient times.”

Very interesting information you provided Bridget, many thanks. "Supernovas are not scheduled until after the reign of Pope Francis and during the reign of Peter the Roman." I don't want to start a fight, but supernovae aren't schedule, no one knows for sure when a star will explode, but the rapid changes in star Betelgeuse are without any precedent. It could be hundreds of years before it will explodes, but with these changes has astronomers wondering if sooner rather than later.

Thank also Bridget for that about supernovae in 1054, that is one tantalizing bit. I can say Ukrainians are united as never before, both by the invasion by the Russians and feel very let down by British and American who signed treaty to protect borders for exchanging of nuclear stocks of bombs with military forces, yet they did never come to our aid in way they promised in treaty. But I see changes on spiritual side that are the shiny side of the coin. It used to be that people of Lviv (where is the majority of people are Catholics) were seen to be outsiders, called us Polacks by many in rest of Ukraine because area was once part of Poland between world wars... but that is gone. Lviv was big centre of resist to corrupt oligarch Yanukovych who fled with national treasury, many buses went from Lviv area to Kiev for protesting in Maidan Nezalezhnosti. There is warm relations between all Ukrainians against Russian invasion, and it is making Catholic and Orthodox a new dawn serious, not a fad none of us in Byzantine Catholic or I feel for Orthodox Ukraine after the influence of FSB controlled Russian Orthodox removed. Is why the Russian get so angry with Patriarch of Constantinople? Not for just lacking controls anymore over Ukrainian Orthodox believers (Moscow did same exact thing in 90s when Estonian Orthodox giving freedom from Moscow, temper tantrum tactic), and for money also as Ukrainians only ones in Russian Orthodox church that even attend Masses, very rare attendance to church in Moscow, but I think the secret worries is such a leap in friendship between Ukrainian Catholics and Ukrainian Orthodox, big changes are going. Everyone thinks of Saint Faustina of Poland quote "From her will come forth the spark that will prepare the world for My final coming" is St. John Paul of Poland, but is something to remember... west of Ukraine was belong to Poland at time she wrotes this. Yes, St. John Paul of Poland, but many of prophecy come true more than one time from Saints. Could be that there is second time of spark, and is coming from west part of Ukraine, and just my own thought that reunion of Catholic and Orthodox in Ukraine is a second of the spark, and it is happen right now, like Betelgeuse, is changing faster than anyone realize. Invasion of once homeland brings people together so strong, it is unbelievable only a decade ago, but it is happening, and with thanks to the Redemptorist Fathers a big, big part. So let's go supernovae!

Anonymous said...

I also should add of course another spark that came, the most important, the Divine Mercy. Maybe promise of Christ to St. Faustina of Poland is threetimes of sparks? Three is a divine number of the Trinity, so it would not be so strange.

Should we expect that there may be a vision of Mother Mary in Nazareth at some time as mirror of the exile in Egypt ending?

I know I'm persona non grata here after my last few postings but bear with me....

Firstly - Merry Christmas to everyone here and their loved ones. I hope you all enjoyed the festivities as much as we did.

Secondly, I criticise quite a bit here but - to date - on this post the comments have been fantastic.

The supernovae bookending the schism is a wonderful insight and is something to investigate.

The slaughter of the innocents and Zeitoun/abortion nexus is also an inspired observation.
I would suggest that rather than calling Christ from Egypt that we are looking toward His precursor - Moses. In the modern sense, rather than looking for the Second Coming we are approaching His precursor - the 'Great Monarch'.
As the first slaughter preceded Moses and the second Jesus, we are looking at the echo of the first a 'lesser' figure.

Great contributions from MyromM and Bridget btw...

MyronM said...

Bridget, ... the current decade began January 1, 2011 and will end December 31, 2020, so the full moon you mentioned was not the last in this period.
Comet 2I/Borisov, though it came to us from outside the Solar System, is most likely from our own Milky Way galaxy.
To read the message that this comet carries, you need to know its characteristic dates (discovery, perihelion, perigee) and trajectory against the background of the starry sky (http://www.aerith.net/comet/catalog/0002I/2019Q4.html) and above all the Christian symbolism of constellations and celestial bodies.
P.S.
I will prepare a short study on 2I/Borisov, starting from the fact that Gennadiy Borisov discovered it in the Palace Garden (Bakhchysarai).

Bridget said...

Hey Merry Christmas to you too, Mighty Righty! And Happy New Year! (almost)

I gotta give credit where credit is due, and that goes to Emmett. He brought up the idea of a pair of supernova bookending the Schism back in 2017...

Check out this back and forth from Oct 2017! I’ll copy and paste below


Bridget21 October 2017 at 20:25
So you've mentioned in the past how the Great Schism in 1054 seemed to coincide with the supernova the same year on July 4, 1054. Emmett, didn't you say the alignment of the seven classical planets happens on July 4th 2020? I remember reading that in one of your comments. What's the connection there? And coincidence that it's Independence Day in the U.S.?



Emmett O'Regan22 October 2017 at 17:53
I didn't realise that the supernova of 1054 fell on the same date as the future planetary alignment in 2020 Bridget! Thanks for pointing this out! The fact that a supernova is expected to appear in 2022 also seems to be of some significance in this regard. It makes me wonder if the reunification of the Eastern Orthodox with Rome will be similarly accompanied by a supernova, as a sort of antithetical parallelism. The prospect of a future supernova brings to mind St. Peter tracing the sign of the Cross over the earth in the prophecy of Bl. Elizabeth Canori-Mora:

"On the feast of Saints Peter and Paul, June 29, 1820, she saw Saint Peter descending from heaven, robed in papal vestments and surrounded by a legion of angels. With his crosier he drew a great cross over the face of the earth, separating it into four quadrants. In each of these quadrants, he then brought forth a tree, sprouting with new life. Each tree was in the shape of a cross and enveloped in magnificent light. All the good laity and religious fled for protection underneath these trees and were spared from the tremendous chastisement. “Woe! Woe to those unobservant religious who despise their Holy Rules. They will all perish in the terrible chastisement together with all who give themselves to debauchery and follow the false maxims of their deplorable contemporary philosophy!...
...However, all will not end in this death and destruction. After these purifying punishments, she saw Saint Peter return on a majestic papal throne together with Saint Paul, who went through the world shackling the devils and bringing them before Saint Peter, who cast them back into the dark caverns from where they had come. “Then a beautiful splendor came over the earth, to announce the reconciliation of God with mankind.”

The above prophecy of the shackling of demons appears to take place at the end of the period of Satan's unbinding. Although, I think any prospects of a supernova to announce the restoration of the Church should be considered separately from the Sign of the Son of Man, which takes place once the fullness of the Gentiles has already been brought in.

Dear 'Anonymous', if you live in Lviv, then you are still a citizen of the Polish Crown, beloved kingdom of the Most Holy Virgin! Explained below.

First read this:
“If you keep the word of God in this way, it will also keep you. The Son with the Father will come to you. The great Prophet who will build the new Jerusalem will come, the one who makes all things new. This coming will fulfill what is written: As we have borne the likeness of the earthly man, we shall also bear the likeness of the heavenly man. Just as Adam’s sin spread through all mankind and took hold of all, so Christ, who created and redeemed all, will glorify all, once he takes possession of all”.
[This famous excerpt on the three (3) comings of the Lord Jesus Christ is taken from a sermon by St. Bernard of Clairvaux (Sermo 5, In Adventu Domini, 1-3: Opera Omnia, Edit. Cisterc. 4 {1966}, 188-190. It is used in the Roman Office of Readings for Wednesday of the First Week of Advent. The accompanying biblical reading is taken from Isaiah 5:1-7.]
And now read my text (below) to understand that we are on the threshold of a new era – the era of God the Holy Spirit and the God's Kingdom on earth.

The Second Emmanuel
Although the 3rd Secret of Fatima (https://www.traditioninaction.org/Questions/B352_Secret.html) is very laconic, it contains a powerful message. Let’s take a closer look at this sentence (basically an order): “In the kingdom of John Paul II the cornerstone of Peter’s grave must be removed and transferred to Fatima.”
The kingdom of John Paul II? Seemingly it looks like a factual mistake, because in reference to the modern pope one speaks of a pontificate, not of a reign or kingdom. It only makes sense when you consider that John Paul II’s home country, Poland, is still a kingdom. Another mystery, if you don’t take into account that the Blessed Virgin proclaimed herself the Queen of Poland on August 14, 1608 in the revelation given to Father Giulio Mancinelli*, an Italian Jesuit at the Gesu Nuovo convent in Naples. She appeared in the company of Saint Stanislaus Kostka the Novice and said: “Why don’t you call Me the Queen of Poland? I loved this kingdom very much and I intend to do great things for it, because its sons are burning with peculiar love for Me.”
Father Giulio personally knew Saint Stanislaus Kostka and after his death (Aug. 15, 1568) he had a devotion to him. Less than 2 years after this apparition Father Mancinelli arrived in Cracow, then the capital of the Polish Crown, where he was received by King Sigismund III Vasa. On May 8, 1610, he celebrated mass in the confessio of Saint Stanislaus the Bishop in the Wawel Cathedral and during the memento of the living the Holy Virgin appeared again for Father Giulio and said: “I am the Queen of Poland. I am the Mother of this Nation, which is very dear to Me, so plead to Me for him and for the prosperity of this land, beg Me constantly and I will always be merciful to you.” For the third time, the Blessed Virgin confirmed her choice on August 15, 1617, again appearing to Father Mancinelli in Naples: “Giulio! For the honor that you have for Me, taken to heaven, you will see Me next year in the glory of heaven. Meanwhile, call Me here on earth, THE QUEEN OF POLAND. I loved this kingdom and destined it for great things, because especially my sons adore Me.” And her eyes full of sweetness and love rested on the young man [Saint Stanislaus Kostka] who was with Her. Once again She turned to Fr. Mancinelli, saying: – You owe him the grace of today!”

Many Christian rulers entrusted their kingodms to the Most Holy Virgin, for example: King Richard II of England on June 13, 1381 (as a dowry), King Louis XIII of France on February 10, 1638, King John IV of Portugal on March 25, 1646. It was their own initiative, but unlike these kingdoms, the Holy Virgin chose Poland herself – it was not the Poles who chose Her, but She chose them! She made it known for the first time in Italy in 1608, but it was only 47 years later that King John II Casimir Vasa offered the Polish Crown to the Mother of God on April 1, 1656 in Lwów (Leopolis) in Galicia (then part of Poland). It was a strictly state act, which is why Poland is still the chosen kingdom of the Holy Virgin, despite the fact that its citizens, secular and church authorities do not want to remember it. The Queen of Heaven, Earth and… Poland remembers!
Now look at the date of the 3rd Secret of Fatima: April 1, 1944 – it’s getting interesting. Lucy wrote down this secret in Tui, a town in Galicia, Spain. It gets even more interesting! This is not an April Fool joke, it is a reference to the vow of King John II Casimir of 1656 made in Leopolis, the capital town of Galicia in Poland. I do not think that Lucy dos Santos has such knowledge of Polish history, but the Blessed Virgin has it.
Let’s return to the Queen’s order: “In the kingdom of John Paul II the cornerstone of Peter’s grave must be removed and transferred to Fatima.” On Peter, the Rock, Jesus Christ built his Church. But the tomb of Peter also means the death of the Mystical Body of the Lord Jesus on earth. The Roman Catholic Church is dying right before our eyes. Peter the Apostle was a living stone, so taking a stone out of his grave in the kingdom of John Paul II means taking from his kingdom, i.e. Poland, a living man and transferring him to Fatima. For what? At the time of the apparitions at Fatima in 1917, Portugal had its King Manuel II, but he was in exile in England after the overthrow of the monarchy by the Freemasons on October 5, 1910. During the Great War, subsequent monarchies fell into the hands of the Masons, including the Austrian and German empires. Anti-church led by Satan began to dominate the political life of then Christian Europe. In the face of the progressive spiritual degradation of Christian societies, the Holy Virgin prepares her king who will deal with Her against the eternal enemy of the Church on earth, Satan. What does King Manuel II have to do with this? Because the name Manuel II also means ‘second Emmanuel’. Who is the first Emmanuel? Jesus Christ the King. Who is the second Emmanuel? Promised Paraclete, the great monarch of the end times! [Matt 10:34]: The Lord Jesus really brought the sword** upon earth! Why does the rock on which the Church will be rebuilt in the form of God’s kingdom come from Poland? Because this is the beloved kingdom of the Most Holy Virgin, the Apocalyptic Woman, kingdom chosen by Her personally! Interesting, isn’t it?

MyronM asks in an earlier comment here, who Satan is hunting in the modern-day slaughter of the innocents, then says he's probably hunting the promised "Paraclete." Given his explanation of his use of that title, Satan is probably hunting the future Great Monarch, as well as the future Angelic Pope, as well as anyone else who will be instrumental in the restoration of the Church.
.
As I've pointed out before, in "Mystical City of God," Our Lady told Mary of Agreda that the Innocents of Christ's time were directly sanctified by God (because sacramental Baptism did not yet exist), and then, though they were only two years old or less, given the full use of reason and inspired to offer their deaths to God. I frequently pray that God may extend that same privilege to today's innocents, that they may pray for us in Heaven.

If Our Lady of Zeitoun is retracing the flight to Egypt and is now on her way back, I have to wonder what, if anything, happens when she reaches Nazareth. I wonder simply because, given that Scripture, particularly the Apocalypse, can be read in both a preterist and a futurist way, there's a possibility that it not only described the original flight into Egypt, but also foretold the current apparitions.

MyronM said...

Dear JMC, People often prophesy without knowing it. Your statement - "I have to wonder what, if anything, happens when she reaches Nazareth." - is a sheer prophecy.

The Return to Family Home

At the turn of 2006 and 2007 I made a pilgrimage to the Holy Land. On the night of Saint New Year's Eve [December 31 - January 1], our group adored the Blessed Sacrament in the Basilica of the Annunciation in Nazareth. Below is an excerpt from my diary written in 2007.

"At the time of the New Year's frenzy beginning everywhere in Europe, we returned to the Basilica for the Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament and Holy Mass. The exhibition took place in the House of the Mother of God, and in fact in her kitchen, because the cave exposed here - from the old time surrounded by the temple - served this particular function in the house of the Virgin Mary. (The remaining part of the house, i.e. a stone chamber added to the cave, was still moved to Loretto in Italy in the 13th century.) It was here that the archangel Gabriel came with the message to the Holy Virgin. It was here that she uttered these humble and happy for the whole human race the sentence: "Let it be done to me according to your word." It was here that Emmanuel conceived in the bosom of the Immaculate Virgin through the Holy Spirit.
As soon as this silent adoration began, I got up from my chair and knelt on the threshold of the cave. I was no more than three or four steps away from the tiny altar and the monstrance exhibited with the Host. At one point I realized that in the window of the monstrance I see the Sacred Heart, pierced and crowned with flame. It was in gray-yellow with dark, almost black indentations - spear marks. This image was static and perfectly inscribed in the circle of the window. When one of the pilgrims came to the altar and gave testimony of what he was seeing in an undertone, I was deeply moved. I stared at the Eucharistic Heart without weariness. After about half an hour the priest returned and when he blessed us with the Blessed Sacrament, the Heart of Jesus was still visible regardless of the angle of view. The wound was not like a normal cut: it was a broad trace of a spear piercing the heart diagonally upwards. On the left from the bottom there was a relatively wide rectangular dark indent, while on the right, at the top, only a dark triangle. The edges of the wound were perfectly smooth.
After hiding the Host into the tabernacle, when I returned to my place, I noticed that it was "occupied" and then the person sitting next to him picked up a picture of the Holy Mother. It was our Heavenly Mother who gave me a place in her own home, and now in our family home, to which I returned after so many years. After all those years! And he still remembers me! "
Jan. 3, 2020, Feast of the Holy Name of Jesus on the Octave of Saint John the Theologian
P.S.
I just looked at the map* of the starry sky of Jan. 1, 2007: The Virgin Mother (Venus in Sagittarius + Luna in Taurus) was accompanied by the Fire (Mercury with the Sun in Sagittarius), which our Lord Jesus Christ wanted to cast on the earth [Luke 12, 49]. This Fire is the second Comforter, Paraclete - Mercury is one of his planetary symbols.

Happy civil new year all! We were two days into 2020 and it appears that the United States is attempting to accomplish a Casus Belli with Iran. I remember Emmett talking last year about a 120 year period after Pope Leo XIII's infamous vision, part of me thought then that 2020 will be the beginning after the end of that period which midpointed in 1960 (the year that the birth control pill was approved by the FDA).

Crazy stuff is happening and I am sure more will come. YES the East-West schism in the Church is coming to an end, Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew has been making overtures to that effect in prominent places such as the Holy Mount Athos.

When you hear about wars and rumors of wars do not be frightened.

We had a brief mention of how snakes have returned to Ireland after the abortion referendum and what the fallout may be from the assassination of General Soleimani as well as America's refusal thus far to exit Iraq despite the Iraqi people voting for the expulsion of US forces from Iraq. We never know how God's Will is going to play out but as history has shown us certain circumstances tend to prevail as a means to show humanity how they have erred in their sweeping judgements.

I have been communicating with many in the Jewish community recently regarding the rising animosity towards Jews in America and internationally. I am very concerned about how many elites are imposing an agenda that has historically resulted in negative reaction, sometimes involving physical violence, against Jews not protected by wealth and influence. I do not want to see a recapitulation of 1930's-1940's Europe but I know of several prominent Rabbis that openly acknowledge that what some powerful Jews have done and continue to do will likely cause such a predictable outcome. The nation state of Israel with its pot stirring in the middle east and compelling the US to carry out their dirty work is not helping matters.

May God have mercy on our souls.

Bridget said...

Hi Kevin!

So how do you foresee the Russians and Greeks getting on board with reuniting? This article seems to suggest that Patriarch Bartholomew leads too small of a minority to have much influence. Is that the case?

https://angelusnews.com/voices/could-the-reunion-between-catholics-and-orthodox-be-closer-than-we-thought/

“Bartholomew, however, despite being the traditional “first among equals” among Orthodox prelates, leads an extremely small flock — almost a “virtual church” — in Constantinople. The big dogs in the Orthodox world long have been the Russians and the Greeks, neither of whom generally shares Bartholomew’s rosy assessment of the state of things with Rome.”

MyronM said...

The Bones that prophesy
On the feast of Christ the King of the Universe AD2013, the relics of Saint Peter the Apostle were exposed to the public in front of the Basilica dedicated to him in the Vatican. On the same day (November 24), the Church (especially in the East) commerates Saint Mercurius the Soldier, who with one spear blow wounded emperor Julian the Apostate (+26 June AD363) cruelly persecuting faithful Christians under his secular power. It can therefore be assumed that the Prince of the Apostles, Servus servorum Dei, went out to the square to find the famous General in order to deal with this Argentinian apostate, whose forces of darkness settled on the Holy See to torment Catholics and ruin the visible Church. Because the commemoration fell on Sunday, so it was the year of Saint Mercurius, and on the feast of Christ the King, so the Lord Jesus Himself sends Mercurius to the final fight with the Apostate.
Mercurius = Mercury. (Before proceeding, read Psalm 19 (18) "Coeli enarrant" first and open the site https://www.fourmilab.ch/cgi-bin/Yoursky) The map of the starry sky on that day (November 24, 2013) shows us: Virgin (Venus) Mother (Luna) The Holy Church was with Jupiter (in Pollux), Mars (figure of the Lord Jesus Christ himself) and Mercury in tandem with Saturn in the constellation Libra below the Bootes holding the Spear (and Sickle). Effectively, however, the Virgin Mother was with the person that Saturn represents in the starry sky (I will not explain here how these calculations are performed, because it would take many pages of writing). This planet symbolizes both Israel and the descendants of King David. This arrangement of heavenly bodies indicates that the One sent to deal with the modern Apostate persecuting the Church of God is the Paraclete because Jupiter (= Roman emperor) has distinguished Pollux in Gemini - the constellation of the Sons of God. The Paraclete is the awaited Grand Monarch of the end times. In the sky He is represented by: Saturn, because he comes from the house of David; Jupiter, because he is Roman emperor; Mercury, because he is Messenger the Fire. Identifying the Paraclete with the Holy Spirit is a simplification because He is one of the chosen sons of Our Mother the Holy Church: He is not the Holy Spirit but he is full of the Holy Spirit. This last remark explains why Saint Peter came down from his See to the city square: he looked around among the faithful, where is this new General Mercurius who will free the militant Church from the Evil's oppression.

MyronM said...

...[continued]...

Five years after that reconnaissance, on the feast of the Apostles Peter and Paul on June 29, 2019, the Prince of the Apostles definitely left the Apostolic Palace and as the Latin Patriarch of Constantinople (the Vatican Basilica was his titular see) set off over the Bosporus. He arrived there the next day*, June 30, the day of the birth of Saint Paul the Apostle for Heaven, in the company of Archbishop Job of Telmessos, whose name means 'Despised from the Land of Lights': Peter the Apostle was in fact despised in the East for centuries in the persons of his successors - Roman popes. However, he did not come here at the invitation of the Patriarch of Constantinople, but at the call of his native brother Saint Andrew, who is the founder of the local Church. For the first time Andrew called on Peter to announce to him "We found the Messiah" [John 1, 41]. Who did he want to introduce to his brother this time? Patriarch Bartholomew held out his hands to welcome the Guest from Rome, and it happened in the church of the Holy Apostles and on the festive day of the Synaxis of Holy Apostles. Is Patriarch Bartholomew the new Messiah? No. However, he is a prefiguration of the Paraclete. Bartholomew means 'Son of the Plowman'. The most famous plowman in the Bible was Elisha, whom Elijah anointed as a prophet after himself [1 Chronicles 19:19]. If Elijah was a prefiguration of John the Baptist [Matt 11,14], then Elisha of the Messiah-Plowman Jesus Christ, who in the Church, through holy sacraments, raises the sons of God and also his brothers. Jesus said: "One sows, the other reaps" [John 4, 37]. To sow, you also need to plow and this work was done by the Lord Jesus, but someone else will harvest the crops of his toil. Who? The apostle Bartholomew is identified with Nathanael (= "God has given"), about whom the Lord Jesus gave a favorable opinion: "Here is a true Israelite in whom there is no deceit" [John 1:47]. For his part, Nathanael confessed: "Rabbi, You are the Son of God, You are the King of Israel!" [John 1, 49] What's more, he is the bridegroom from the wedding in Cana of Galilee, to which he invited Jesus with his disciples. The Gospel does not give the bride's name, but notices the presence of Jesus's Mother there. Also the chief steward praised the groom for the wine ... which Jesus Christ himself prepared in a wonderful way after the intervention of the Blessed Virgin. At this wedding She was called 'Woman' for the first time, which suggests that She is married. This is the greatest secret of Cana of Galilee and the divine nature of the holy matrimony. This biblical event has its prophetic value, for it transfers us to the end of time, when the Woman clothed with the Sun will marry her Son-Man, whom She gave birth to as Our Mother Holy Church. This Son-Man is identical with the fire that the Lord Jesus wanted to throw on earth and the Paraclete. The act of June 30 (2019), through which Saint Peter the Apostle gave himself into the hands of Bartholomew / Nathanael, means that the Paraclete is the visible head of the reborn Church, i.e. the New Rome, and the Ecumenical Patriarch, i.e. the Father / King of the entire civilized - in a divine way - world.
...[to be continued]...

MyronM said...

...[continued]..

Because Constantinople was founded by the emperor Constantine (= 'Constant'), so the Paraclete will be the eternal ruler of God's Kingdom on earth, and therefore in the prophecies He appears as the Great Monarch of the end times. Patriarch Bartholomew, who has his residence in the Fanar district (of Constatinopole) or the 'Lantern', participated in this lucky event, so that the words of the Holy Bible could be fulfilled: [Luke 11, 33] "No one lights the light and puts it in hiding or under a bushel, but on a candlestick, that those who enter may see its splendor." This Light-Fire will ignite the Lord Jesus Christ Himself and set him on a lampstand (Fanar) that he, the Paraclete, will show the way to all who enter the Kingdom of God.
This is the prophecy of the Bones of Saint Peter, Prince of the Apostles, after the abolition of the Holy See in Rome on February 28, 2013 at 8 pm (CET).

Sept. 1, 2019, Feast of the Don Icon of the Mother of God

* On June 30, 2019, the reliquary with Saint Peter's Bones has been handed over to Patriarch Bartholomew of Constantinopole through the Archbishop Job of Telmessos.

Hi Bridget, thank you for asking. So much of what they take issue with is centuries old, if not a millennia or more back in the history of the Church and world. Frankly this issues of contention have mostly to do with worldly politics much of which has not been relevant in any way for the hundreds of years.

The main issue has to do, I believe, with the Bishop of Rome and his role as first among equals. So much of what is or has been interpreted as far as primacy or in more recent times "supremacy" has only served to stoke the flames and maintain the status quo of division. Our Holy Father Benedict XVI created a plan that is commonly referred to as the Ratzinger Formula which would allow for the reunification of communion between the Catholic and Orthodox communions under the pretense that those outside of the Roman Catholic Church could function as they did in the first millennium of the Church prior to the rupture of communion between East and West.

It may just come down to a leader like the Ecumenical Patriarch or another Patriarch (or multiple) within the Orthodox communion just stepping out and taking that risk of decisive reconciliation. I look at what has happened in Ukraine over the past two years or so, and I have commented about it extensively on this blog, and I see it as an incredibly positive development to the point to where I went so far to stay that I believe Ukraine is the linchpin for reunification. The Russian Patriarchate elected to isolate itself further based on what happened in Ukraine while the rest of the Church has grown closer to reconciliation. Part of me thinks that this may be what the Theotokos referred to at Fatima when she called for the conversion of Russia. Russian Orthodoxy in so many ways I think represents a pinnacle of Christianity, however, in others it is an absolute train wreck. Russian Orthodoxy represents some of the worst ecclesiology in all of the Catholic and Orthodox communions.

My monastery is part of the Romanian Greek Catholic Church which was an Orthodox Church that reestablished communion with Rome, we like any of the 23 churches within the Catholic communion with the Latin Church maintain autonomy with a head cleric that functions as any Patriarch would within the Orthodox communion. For the Romanian Greek Catholics that is Major Archbishop Lucian Mureșan (a member of the College of Cardinals as well).

Bridget said...

MyronM, you gave us a lot to chew on! I follow what you’re saying about Patriarch Bartholomew prefiguring the Great Monarch, but I was always under the impression that he would be a political figure rather than a spiritual one...??

That being said, can a case not be made for Trump being the Great Monarch? He’s been compared to Constantine and Charlemagne. I’m also remembering when Pope Francis gifted him an olive tree saying he hoped he would BE an olive tree and bring peace. Aren’t the Two Witnesses compared to two olive trees in Zechariah? Also, there’s the curious number coincidence of 1260 days from the day after his inauguration (January 21, 2017) to July 4th, 2020. (US Independence Day). Lastly, aren’t the Two Witnesses actually hated? And not popular during their ministry? Trump definitely has that going for him! Ha!

Anyway, just my thoughts at the moment!

Here is Fr. Richard Heilman’s recent article that mentions Trump being compared to Constantine.

I'm a woman, and my class sang "An Army of Youth" after our Confirmation in 1968. I was raised on "spiritual warfare," and I've had a bellyful of "kumbaya."

In anticipation of a new epiphany
Such a great feast with an octave! Have you noticed that the guests at Isaiah [60, 6] – “… all they from Saba shall come, bringing gold and frankincense: and shewing forth praise to the Lord.” – bring only gold and incense? Whereas the Magi from the East at Matthew [2, 11] bring something extra, namely myrrh? Myrrh was used to anoint the body of the Savior before being buried. The Lord took this myrrh inside the earth (the grave). He sent her back to earth in wonderful circumstances. The Octave of Epiphany falls on January 13 and the same day is commemoration of Saint Remigius of Reims. Baptizing King Chlodwig (Dec. 25, 496A.D.), and with him all of France, Bishop Remigius received myrrh directly from heaven through a dove. Why was the French monarchy so distinguished among other Christian kingdoms? Because its rulers are descendants of King David and therefore they are entitled to the same anointing as for the greatest of David’s sons, Jesus Christ the Savior himself, King of Kings and Lord of Lords. But why? Because Jesus Christ is the firstborn among many brothers! When the epiphany of the great end-time monarch occurs, we will see that he comes from the royal house of David.

@JMC
@MyronM

There are some misunderstandings here.

ALL royalty are descended (or at least claims to be) from the 'House of David', thats what makes them 'royal'.

The 'Franks' are not the French royal family. Franks are in fact a Germanic tribe but that too is irrelevnt. The point about Frankish kings is that their power was recognised and blessed (ie given legitimacy) by the Church

The GM is also said to be from the Bourbons (Portugal), the House of Agar (Ireland) to rule over Spain and Italy etc...etc...etc... There is no one person who could realistically claim or prove descent from every single royal house in Europe.

It follows then that this person will arise like a 'royal' personage (but not actually royal) with power over these countries. The only way this can happen is through the EU parliament or commission.
This person will be a politician and rise by normal means; think of someone like Konrad Adenauer rather than some fancy prince riding a horse.
He will come from 'between the rhine and the north sea' - Strasbourg/ Brussels/ Luxembourg/ Belguim - ie the institutions of the EU.

Theres so much nonsense talked about all of this. I find it incredible that in this day and age people are still running around with fanciful notions rather than applying common sense to the prophecies.... These people are human actors and people acting out the will of God, they are not superheroes or magical characters.

Incidentally, if you want some stupid - the pictures linked above https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/NINTCHDBPICT000552472811.jpg?strip=all&w=960 just look like a giant bra. You can impose a stupid interpretation on anything....

Bridget said...

Since the Great Monarch is “crowned by the Holy Pope” how would that play out in present day? Some type of political endorsement?

JMC said...

Not necessarily. Many countries that have "figurehead" monarchs still use ceremonial crownings when they ascend to their respective thrones. The UK is a prime example of that; the coronation ceremony is held in Westminster Cathedral with all the traditional pomp. I believe it's usually actually done by a bishop (Anglican these days, of course), and the Pope is technically the Bishop of Rome, as well as being the visible head of the entire Church. So it could be a literal coronation ceremony.

@JMC, Bridget, MightyRighty,

Among Christian monarchies, the ruling house of France was distinguished by providing Chrism (for the anointing of their kings) directly from heaven. There is no other such monarchy. In addition, the ruler of France, as the eldest son of the Church, also holds the title of Arch-Christian King.
If you want to know more about the special role of France in the end times, read the prophecies of Saint Francis of Paola (d. April 2, 1507): https://ia600307.us.archive.org/10/items/christiantrumpet00ross/christiantrumpet00ross_djvu.txt
and Marie-Julie Jahenny (d. March 4, 1941): http: // www.todayscatholicworld.com/marie-julie-jahenny-prophecy.pdf

P.S.
Parliaments and committees do not have a mandate to anoint the kings.

Betelgeuse is a stone at Bethel, where Jacob rested. The starry sky, constellations in particular, tell the salvation story, the glory of God (see Psalm 18/19: 'Coeli enarrant').
If the brightness of Betelgeuse changes dramatically, Jacob the Patriarch waggles about, meaning the awakening of one of his descendants: the great monarch of the end of time!

Myron;

thank you for your comments.

After reading for many years, i feel the great monarch will be the pope which unifies Catholicity after the future wars in Europe by the Muslim and Chinese hordes who take over europe for a period of years.

I read this forum to learn if other readers have an idea that this up
rise has been given the ammo to instigate unification against the weat
and immigration has numerically given power to islam in europe.
Just read about Norway and Sweden and their policy changes.

While Emmett has made it clear his view is that the Great Monarch and the Angelic Pope are two separate individuals who will be working together to restore the Church and unify Christianity, he's also clearly stated that, since nothing definitive has ever been said by the Church regarding the End Times, everything written about it is nothing but pure speculation. Therefore, your thought that the Great Monarch and the Angelic Pope are one and the same is also possible, though I have my own misgivings about that, given that Apocalypse mentions TWO men, represented by the "return" of Isaiah and Elijah.

@Bridget - there is an arcane Papal ritual - or observance or formality or whatever - which indicates the Pope is in the presence of an Emperor - not a king or a politician.
If you see this sign you will know this person is an emperor.
I know what it is but I'm not prepared to discuss it atm. I am however happy to tell Emmett as long as he agrees to keep it to himself....
Its nothing major, just a little known Papal tradition.

@JMC - 1 -Irish kings were not elected but the High King most definitely was.
Its not true to say all Kings or Emperors are from a family lineage - in fact, its completely wrong.
2 - FWIW, I am in agreement with Emmett that the Pope and Emperor are separate and distinct people.

@MyronM - the stone you refer to was (supposedly) used to crown first Irish, then English monarchs over the centuries.

@JMC - watched The Two Popes recently. (Its very good incidentally!)
What struck me was Francis initial words to the public - "It seems that my brother cardinals went almost to the end of the world to get him. But here we are...."
Surely a remarkable choice of words for a Pope?!?!?!
Couldnt he have said 'across the ocean' or 'half way round the world'?

The Second Comforter: Paraclete - Mahdi - Messiah

On Wednesday (Jan. 8, 2020) I woke up in the middle of the night and could not sleep anymore. When I was later reading the news, it turned out during my 'insomnia' that Iran bombed two US military bases in Iraq. This was the Persian response to the Americans' killing of their charismatic leader, General Qassam Soleimani, with his associates on a diplomatic mission. Diplomatic? Exactly. Since the Saudis, having learned the value of their army in the Yemeni War, understood that it was better to get along with Iran than to fight it, they began peace negotiations through the government of Iraq. The success of these talks, however, would thwart the efforts of the USA & Israel duo (USI) to keep the countries around Israel in a state of permanent chaos in accordance with the 'divide and rule' principle, preventing them from full emancipation. Diplomatic contacts could not be kept secret: Israeli intelligence obtained information on General Soleimani's journey from Damascus to Baghdad, exposing him to a direct attack. USI forces killed him on January 3 using 4 rockets fired from an USAF drone. This shameful feat brought brief satisfaction to Trump and his advisers, but after the Iranian rocket attack mentioned at the beginning, the surgical precision scarred at them: they probably realized that they were dealing with a proud nation that could also produce technologically advanced weapons and skillfully use it.
The Americans hit accurately, but at the same time fatally: the death of General Soleimani consolidated the Iranians even more, strengthening their determination to defend their sovereignty against the attempts of the USI empire with its European satellites.
From a spiritual perspective, the explosions in Iraq fit into the sequence of eschatological events: all matters under the Sun are in the palm of the Lord of history, Almighty God.
When on Wednesday morning (Jan. 8) I was traveling by suburban train to the West Station, on the display in the car, in addition to the date, time, route, the names of the patrons of the day appeared: Mstislav, Severinus and Theophilus. Let's take a look at them in turn.
For every Slav, the name Mstislav has an obvious meaning, but for non-Slavs it must be translated: 'Famous Avenger'. Although we will not find Saint Mstislav in the calendar, we will find Him in the Bible in the person of God himself, as well as on the map of Belarus near the border with Russia. This Mstislav obtained city rights and the coat of arms from King Vladislav IV Vasa in 1634 and was the capital of the former province in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. The idea of the coat of arms https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mstsislaw probably came from the wars of the Commonwealth against Moscow at the time, but it also has a universal dimension: God Himself punishes those who, like wolves, break into an inclosure and tear apart sheep - by default, the sheep of Christ's flock.
Saint Severinus (of Noricum), another patron of the day, abandoned the comforts of Roman aristocracy to live the life of a hermit and a traveling preacher first in Egypt and then in Europe around today's Vienna. He prophesied for the destruction of this land by the Huns. Severinus (= 'Stern') was severe to himself, but generous to his fellow men: he organized shelter and teaching for the people dispersed as a result of Attily's invasion, by Christians called 'the Whip of God' (Latin 'Flagellum Dei'). The Holy Preacher witnessed the fall of the Western Roman Empire (476A.D.) and dying (Jan. 8, 482A.D.) he recited Psalm 150 - "Let all spirit praise God."
Saint Theophilus the Martyr, African deacon burnt in a furnace in Libya. This Friend of God (= Theophilus) merged with the fire and rose to the heavens like the smoke of an incense sacrifice.

MyronM said...

...[continued]
From a Christian perspective on this January day [Jan. 8, 2020], the Avenger 'Whip of God' Guardian of the Poor Friend of God arose and went west. The West here means a conglomerate of countries formed on the soil of Christianitas, however, due to apostasy from the true Catholic faith and intentional violation of God's elementary laws they work for the prince of this world, Satan. Because of the scale and global range of the apostasy, Almighty God sends the Avenger to cleanse the earth of Satan's supporters, and the Father of the Poor to renew everything. The Avenger and Renewer are one and the same person, the Paraclete, or Peter the Roman from Saint Malachi's prophecy.
From an Islamic perspective, January 8, 2020 is the beginning of the 'Operation Soleimani the Martyr', which by no means boils down to avenging this national hero of Iranians. After a century of humiliation under the dominance of English and Americans (after World War II), Iran rose from its knees thanks to such brave people as General Qassam Soleimani. Despite being stuck in the long-standing error of Arianism, it seems that the Persians respect natural law and some elements of Christian doctrine. Shiism that prevails in their country, in particular, cultivates faith in the coming of the Mahdi. This character has all the qualities of the second Comforter in Christianity: he comes in hand with Jesus Christ, lives in secret, defeats Antichrist, eradicates evil and restores justice in the world, prepares humanity for the Last Judgment. The title Mahdi, or "the Guided One", due to the passive form used here would be completely odd in relation to the person whom God entrusted with the tasks of a universal leader, were it not for the Lord Jesus' words [John 16, 12-15]: "I have yet many things to say to you: but you cannot bear them now. But when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will teach you all truth. For he shall not speak of himself; but what things soever he shall hear, he shall speak; and the things that are to come, he shall shew you. He shall glorify me; because he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it to you. All things whatsoever the Father hath, are mine. Therefore I said, that he shall receive of mine, and shew it to you." Yes, the Paraclete, as one of the converted prodigal sons of our Mother Holy Church, needs the guidance of God the Holy Spirit to fulfill his role of the Avenger and Renewer. The Paraclete is not the Holy Spirit but someone full of the Holy Spirit - this is a significant difference. The title of Mahdi perfectly reflects this need to be guided from above.
General Qassam Soleimani (Qassam Solomon = 'The One who gives Peace') was killed on Friday a holiday for Islam. The very next day, January 4, Iranians in the holy city of Qom placed a purple banner on the dome of the Jamkaran mosque dedicated to Mahdi, to summon Muslims to avenge the innocent blood. Apparently it happened for the first time in the thousand-year history of this place of worship. During the solemn ceremony, a prayer was raised: "O Allah, speed up the revelation of your Guardian (= Mahdi)!" Both of these facts emphasize the uniqueness of the whole situation. Iranian Shiites, like many Christians, have probably understood that they are living in the reality of the end times, and that Almighty God will intervene to restore order in the world.
...[to be continued]

MyronM said...

..[continued]
There is also another unique edifice in Qom: the Fatima Masumeh mosque dedicated to Fatima, the daughter of the Seventh and sister of the Eight Imam out of 12 Shia Imams. The sanctuary is one of the most important in all of Iran. Of the 20 million followers who visit the holy city of Qom every year, certainly everyone also worships Fatima. The name itself means 'the Restrained', while the nickname Masumeh – 'the Immaculate'. Combining the characters listed here, we get an unusual pair of Mahdi-Fatima Masumeh. When we consider that on January 3 this year, 76 years have passed since the day [Jan. 3, 1944] sister Lucy dos Santos, then living in Tuy, Galicia, described the visual part of the 3rd Secret of Fatima, we will find a direct link to the Blessed Virgin's apparitions in Portugal (and Spain) in the first half of the 20th century.
It is well known that the miraculous manifestations of the Divine Mother to three children in Fatima were preceded by apparitions of the Angel of Peace, but I do not know if anyone realized that the Miracle of the Sun [October 13, 1917], closing the sequence of appearances, announces the coming of the One who will be the Peace. However, contrary to the justified guesses, it will not be our Lord Jesus Christ, but one of the converted prodigal sons of our Mother Holy Church called to fulfill the special role of the other Comforter. In the Revelation to Saint John, he appears under the enigmatic notion of the Son-Man of the Woman clothed with the Sun: he is the son of the Holy Church and also the consort of the Blessed Virgin. So a second pair appears here: the Paraclete-Immaculate Virgin (from Fatima), a real though mystical marriage as opposed to the hypothetical Mahdi-Fatima pair (from Qom) which is only a prefiguration.
Can He, identified with Peace, also be an avenger? Yes, it is contained in the comment* of the Most Holy Virgin to the vision described in the 3rd Secret.
The founding myth of the town of Fatima in Portugal - the conversion of a Muslim princess by this name, her baptism under the name Ourana and the marriage of a Catholic prince - contains the announcement of the conversion of Islam followers to the Catholic faith through a certain 'Restrained Immaculate'. However, the historically earlier founding myth of Lourdes, on the other side of the Pyrenees, announces the acceptance of the Catholic faith by the followers of Islam through a great convert, the Paraclete, whom in the besieged fortress [Lourdes] was represented by the brave Saracen Prince Lordus with a big fish in his hands - a symbol of our Mother Holy Church - and who was baptized by Saint Bishop Turpin (or Tilpin) in Le Puy.
...[to be continued]

MyronM said...

...[continued]
Well-informed Christians are waiting for the Paraclete, Muslims for the Mahdi, and pious Jews still look for ... the Messiah. Although the Jews rejected Jesus Christ as their king, our Lord - in his infinite goodness towards the nation of the first election - will fulfill the prophecy of their high priests [John 19, 15]: "We have no king but Caesar". To justify their apostasy and to make them credible this prophecy, the Lord Jesus will give them, and not only them, a ruler in the person of the promised second Comforter. The Paraclete as the great ruler of the end times will also be the Roman emperor par excellence - exactly as the Jews wanted almost 20 centuries ago. Jesus' words to the Servant of God Luisa Piccarreta will also be fulfilled [an excerpt from „The Book of Haven”]:
„Now there will be an exchange: if Jerusalem gave to Rome the life of religion and therefore of Redemption, Rome will give to Jerusalem the Kingdom of the Divine Will. And this is so true, that just as I chose a Virgin from the little town of Nazareth for the Redemption, so I have chosen another virgin [i.e. Luisa] in a little town [i.e. Corato, Puglia] of Italy belonging to Rome, to whom the mission of the Kingdom of the Divine Fiat has been entrusted. And since It must be known in Rome, just as My coming upon earth was known in Jerusalem, Rome will have the great honor of requiting Jerusalem for the great Gift received from her, which is Redemption, by making known to her the Kingdom of My Will.
Then will Jerusalem repent of her ingratitude, and will embrace the life of the religion that she gave to Rome; and, grateful, she will receive from Rome the life and the great Gift of the Kingdom of My Divine Will. And not only Jerusalem, but all the other nations will receive from Rome the great Gift of the Kingdom of My Fiat, the first criers of It, Its Gospel—all full of peace, of happiness and of restoration of the creation of man.”
The dilemma of Saint John the Baptist will also be definitely clarified [Matthew 11. 3]: "Are you the one who is to come or are we to expect another?" Indeed, the Paraclete is the other expected - the ruler of the Kingdom of God on earth, where he reigns with his Queen Consort, the Immaculate Virgin, who was once Mary.
Jews, Christians and Muslims, until now entwined in eternal mortal wrestling, will be reconciled by the revelation of the Lord of All Nations, because although for the former he is the Messiah, for the latter - the Paraclete, and for the third - the Mahdi it is about one and the same Person, the end-times great monarch. And then - according to the words** of the Most Holy Virgin to sister Lucy dos Santos in Tuy, Galicia [Jan. 3, 1944] - after cleansing the world of sin, there will be "'in the temporal [life]: one faith, one baptism, one Church, holy, catholic, apostolic. In eternity: Heaven!"

Bridget said...

Hey Emmett! I’d like your thoughts on something if you get a chance. I was listening to the radio this morning, and they were discussing the rollout of Mojo Vision’s prototype for a smart contact lens, which is the future of “invisible computing.” Since the Mark of the Beast is the smart phone, would you expect the time of the Antichrist and the Church’s official condemnation of the smart phone to be MUCH sooner than later? Since technology moves so fast, and the smart phone is heading down a path of becoming obsolete? Some theories suggest it’ll be obsolete by 2025, others suggest maybe just 10 more good years. I was reading some of your old blog posts about it, and you argue really well how the Mark of the Beast would be a physical object worn on the hand mimicking the Jewish box-shaped phylacteries. So I assume if the Antichrist wants to take control of it, it would have to be during the time period while the smart phone is still in its heyday.

Thanks as always!

Hi Chris. Do not lose faith in the Roman Catholic Church. The devil wants to divide our church by getting his disciples to deliberately misrepresent what Pope Francis has actually done and said.

May I ask how the smart phone concerns the human forehead please??

Hey Chris! Oh what do you mean exactly? How it concerns the forehead? I mentioned the smart contact lens just as an example of how we’re in the process of moving away from handheld visible devices.

Anonymous said...


hi Bridget
Thanks for responding..

I was referencing the Biblical text saying a mark on the hand OR forehead.



Chris

Bridget said...

Oh! Gotcha. Well, the phylacteries were worn on the hand OR the forehead (but predominantly on the right hand from what I understand), but the important take away is it’s a VISIBLE object. So, I don’t think the smart contact lens down the road would qualify, since the end goal is to be an invisible as possible. Emmett mentioned Google Glasses fulfilling the role of “sometimes worn on the forehead” but that brings me back to my point about Mojo Vision’s contact lens. Technology moves so fast, it’s already trying to blow past Google Glass, which I think pretty much failed because no one really wanted bulky equipment around their face. Right now in 2020, it’s still “cool” to have the newest version of the iPhone. (Just this past week, one of my relatives on Facebook was bragging about the iPhone 11 she got for her birthday, ha!). But I wouldn’t be surprised if in 10 years, it would be considered laughable and outdated toting around a physical phone. I hope I’m making sense!

Bridget said...

For the record, you guys, I am NOT and IT person at all, haha, so please! If someone with a more educated opinion would like to chime in on how much longer the smart phone will be popular, please do! :)

JMC said...

As far as the forehead bit is concerned, I recently saw an ad with a smart phone that is actually worn on the forehead, with a headband, the main phone, and what looks like two largish speakers. It's a huge, bulky, ridiculous-looking thing right now, and I doubt anybody would be caught dead wearing it, but that's just right now. I honestly don't remember where I found it; it might have been here. I think somebody posted a link to the ad among the hundreds of comments following the previous post (the podcast from Fr. Heilman and Doug Barry), and it's really a shudder-making idea even to think about going through all those comments trying to find it! ;D

Bridget said...

JMC, I think that was me! Are you talking about this? I’m sure the creepy mustached mannequin isn’t helping sales either. Haha!

Emmett O'Regan said...

Hi Bridget,

I would assume that it will take a lot longer for any other technology to displace the widespread prevalence of smartphones, especially in the Third World. As to how it is worn on the forehead, I have previously speculated that the totapoth or "frontlet bands" that are worn on the forehead is related to some form of smartglass technology. With the increasing trend for motorists and cyclists to record their journeys for insurance purposes with dash cams and cycling safety cameras worn in headwear, I could see a future widespread rollout of such technology, even just in the form of a smart headband with an inbuilt camera. Many police officers are already required to record their public interactions through similar technology. I could see companies demanding that their employees use such devices to track their movements throughout the day. It could be used in schools to prevent bullying, or encouraged for daily use as a crime deterrent. There is no end for this technology to be exploited by various governments...

JMC said...

Bridget: Yeah, that was it. And you're right about the mannequin; I actually wondered if that moustache was photoshopped in! ;D

More than just a bit unnerving. Someone once said that anyone who rejects belief in God has a reason for not wanting Him to exist. These archaeologists just nailed that reason, I think: The idea of the end of the world scares the bejeebers out of most people, so if they deny God, they can happily ignore that frightening concept and go on about their lives.

Amazon.com Inc. AMZN -0.70% wants to make your hand your credit card.

The tech giant is creating checkout terminals that could be placed in bricks-and-mortar stores and allow shoppers to link their card information to their hands, according to people familiar with the matter.

The company plans to pitch the terminals to coffee shops, fast-food restaurants and other merchants that do lots of repeat business with their customers, according to some of the people. Amazon declined to comment.

Amazon, like other tech companies, is trying to further integrate itself into consumers’ financial lives, leaving banks and card networks on edge. Apple Inc. AAPL 1.11% introduced a credit card last year, and Google is rolling out checking accounts. If the Amazon terminals succeed, they could leapfrog mobile wallets such as Apple Pay while expanding Amazon’s already-extensive access to consumer data.

We track the prophecies of corruption in the Catholic Church beginning with the vision of Pope Leo XIII in 1884 (and St Michael's Prayer) and move up through Our Lady of Fatima in 1917 and Our Lady of Akita in 1973. We also discuss Our Lady of Good Success.

Hey Chris! Isn’t that verse in the context of commerce? Emmett mentioned the Third World in his response above, and it does seem to be the case that almost everyone will have a smart phone at some point as they become less and less expensive along with cheap data. I also read that some smart phones for the developing world are specifically designed for the illiterate and can be operated through voice and image recognition. Woah!

Jason R. said...

Hi all, (and great info Bridget, awesome!), I haven't been on here for quite a while because first, I made such a fool of myself because I had a manic episode (e.g. when I was utterly convinced that the star of a Disney kid's show was the Antichrist, oy yoy yoy, I am sooo embarrassed, thank you to all who treated me with delicacy and respect, it made me realize I was delusional and sought help ASAP). And a special thank you to Mark W., until I lost my Internet access (and almost me house, I thought I was supposed to give all my money away to the poor and homeless, which I did, plus went very far into debt doing the same... my daughter has made me promise to read everyday what she wrote in lipstick along my washroom mirror "Share what you got but KEEP what you NEED!", which is a pretty good motto for me.

Also, my psychiatrist noticed my mania is usually a religious mania so I'm not really supposed to even be here according to doctor's orders, but I miss it here so, so I thought once in a blue moon maybe would be safe, and if I am starting to go off the deep end I know someone here (Mighty Righty, I know you would have no qualms about that, haha!) would give me a gentle warning, and even when in delusion I've never been so far gone as not to heed the advice of those I know care about me and only have me best interests in mind.

So thank yous, apologies, I hope I didn't burn any bridges with my ravings from the summertime.

Something that Chris wrote here made me want to chime in, about the Social Security number thing. I know this is an appeal to authority which isn't worth much on the Internet, but I know both from working at a major Telco/ISP, as well as when I took an educational leave before becoming disabled in 2016 and chipping away at my post-graduate work and studies in AI, there is extremely serious talk world-wide of using Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) numbers for absolutely everything. They're 128-bit numbers, so the number of unique numbers is for all practical purposes inexhaustible as far as assignment to every person on Earth a unique number (as well as every single device that uses the Internet for the first time it's own IPv6 address as well if desirable).

From a purely pragmatic viewpoint, it makes perfect sense. At birth every person is assigned an IPv6 number as their unique identifier for everything, and when combined with bit-chain technology currently used for cryptocurrencies, but not bound to just that, it would also make identity theft a thing of the past, and even moreso if an authoritative agency had said number implanted or tied to a unique biometric like a human retina.

Jason R. said...

The number would be your birth certificate, your connection and identifier to the Internet, every bank account, employee number, think of any number you ever have had used as an identifier for you or ever could be used as an identifier for you in any capacity, IPv6 can and I venture will replace it. Illegal purchases of weapons, drugs, over. Like I wrote from a pragmatic, and frankly pagan, perspective nothing could make more sense. But as far as abuse by an authoritarian government, it would make anything but direct barter of goods as before the invention of money completely open to control. It reminds me of the ration books me grandma had to use during the war living in Germany, they were as much tools of control and tracking the population as they were for the stated purpose. The idea of how close we are honestly, believe me on that even though I'm technically not an expert, I've been part of those conversation at my company before I was off on perm. disability, it gives me right shivers, we are that close to the unique identifier that would make the Beast system of total control over whether someone can buy or sell a reality. If the powers that be wanted to roll it out, it could start tomorrow, literally. There is nothing stopping it technical-wise, just the political side of it now, and it is in the works because of all the existing problems that it legitimately solve, and people not thinking of, OK, what would a new Adolf Hitler do with that kind of population control, but something I couldn't help but consider.

Jason R. said...

Ahhh, what the hay, I may not be back on for awhile, and I know many people don't like anyone playing the Great Monarch guessing game, but that's one thing I still feel pretty strongly about as far as a contender in Prince Joseph Wenzel Maximilian Maria of Liechtenstein. He is definitely the heir to the throne of Liechtenstein, as well as the heir of the Wittelsbach family, the former rulers of Bavaria, so the pretender to the throne of Bavaria AND also happens through dynastic succession to be the pretender to the thrones of Scotland, Ireland, England and France under the Jacobite succession. If that list of countries doesn't add up to a good claim to Emperor of the West, I'm not sure what would, and his claim isn't as esoteric as it might first appear.

It's an interesting tidbit that the Catholic Church were still considering the Jacobite line the legitimate heir of Ireland, Scotland, England, and France, right up (arguably) until 1819, which, y'know 201 years ago, isn't so long in the timespan of European royalty. And the only thing technically according to the ancient laws of how the line of monarchs are chosen is the Act of Settlement in the UK... were that act to be abolished, he'd have a good claim someday, as crazy as that sounds. It seems to fit well with the prophecy, that some would accept, some would reject. He's currently 24, I don't know how that fits with any hypothetical timelines, and I think it's worth noting the name Maria in his name is in honour specifically of Our Lady. He is also the first Jacobite heir apparent to be actually have been born in England since the Stuarts lost the throne, which caught my eye, as well that he'd be the first one to be an actual ruling monarch as well, albeit of tiny Liechtenstein, but as far as the faith goes, mighty Liechtenstein... with apologies to Poland, you will not find anywhere close to as Catholic of a country in Europe, maybe in the world, as Liechtenstein, and one ruled still by a monarchy? I used to think it would be the pretender to the throne of the Holy Roman Empire, so a descendent of Blessed Charles through Otto von Habsburg, but even with that, it should be remembered that the Emperor was chosen by electors officially, and any monarch of a member state of the Empire was eligible for election... and he will be the true monarch of Bavaria though they abolished the monarchy.

Jason R. said...

So actual monarch of a former member kingdom of the Holy Roman Empire, Liechtenstein, pretender to the throne of another major, major member, Bavaria, and the Jacobite, viewed by the Church herself until the 19th century as the legitimate heirs of Ireland, Scotland, England, and France, a name indicating at least an honouring of Our Lady if not devotion, extremely Catholic, first Jacobite heir born in England since the line was deposed simply for being Catholic so by rules of succession he really is the rightful heir if not for the law banning Catholics had come into existence in Great Britain. Even another of his name, Maximilian, harkens very strongly back to the two great Maximilians who were Holy Roman Emperors, in addition to a slew of electors from Bavaria. I (tried to) share my theory with as I know he's come up with his own famous guess based on the Hapsburgs, and all I can say is he is very married to his theory, and I suspect is a malignant narcissist, yikes. What do folks think, am I still having religious mania, or could there be something here. I can't imagine a disaster wiping out the entire current line of succession to the British throne, or any other circumstances, other than if a global pandemic really reached deep enough, a new Black Death type scenario, and in my capacity as union president of the company I work for, albeit only on the rolls now, they had extremely detailed plans for how to run the Telco/ISP assuming a death rate from a pandemic like the Spanish Flu of 60% fatality rates, and they took that very seriously indeed. The head of our health department, a former virologist and MD gone to the private sector when I asked about how serious these plans are said to me with a pale look on her face from the thought, "Jason, it's not a matter of if, but when, and we are already overdue". The spread of this serious new virus from China already in the US that quick, and of the type that is wildly common to mutation making treatment neigh on impossible, I am definitely keeping me eye on it. Can you imagine the destabilization a 60% fatality rate world wide could cause? And we know about expecting disease and pestilence from Revelations...

p.s. I won't go into here, but if anyone is interested in my Jacobite (among other hugely important bloodline heir) theory of potential Great Monarch candidate, I found the particular dates of the burial tombs of the Jacobite pretenders buried in St. Peter's (yes, that St. Peter's!) and when they were moved around as those dates related to, well, just check them out if interested. Peace out, will be back from time to time, love y'all.

Jason R. said...

Apparently I'm in restless exile myself, already back, primogeniture, that's the word I couldn't remember, and to find out how recently relevant the idea of a Jacobite restoration was, just search for "Neo-Jacobite Revival"... 1920!

Bridget said...

Jason R!! Welcome back!! So good to hear from you! I’ll have to read through your comments better later on. I just wanted to say how happy I am to see you on here again! (Even if it is every once in a while) :)

Jason and Bridget;

Welcome Jason. So much valuable info! Another mention of Mark W's behind the scene help. Well done faithful !!! Jason Please keep your daughters prompt in your view!

Bridget;
I surmise when I read this verse and subject thal all rich and poor, great and small will have used wvwry object available to the moment to achieve their status. Rich would certainly be aware of any new app, great will have taken every advantage. So I don't thnk this will be an object that will suddenly permit a new level of science.
And Jason wrote well of my reference to a worldwide push for all to have a number, Social Security I called it as an understandable refernce as it is somewhat new action.

What this mark literaly will enable, is for the world to be in an inventory state. No actions without a receipt! No receipt without an account. No account without a name address etc.

That is what the mark will enable.

And I don't think this will be an adverse actio,

I think people will be as after thanksgiving day sales to fight to get it. to be enabled..
we can assume there will be terrible troubles going on at this point
thus raising the beasts empowerment, he will be European from BIBLICAL deductions, And it seems the united stated will either be destroyed, economically irrelevent or physically gone, ( MY GUESS))

And if there is a physical reason, ie magnetic reversal or equivilent, maybe it willl restrict commerce in some way.

Too many possibilities to deal with.

They started giving newborns Social Security numbers in the 1980s. It was actually a necessary step, because at the time there was a veritable epidemic of people claiming fictitious dependents on their income tax reports. Before that, you didn't have a number until you started working, unless the family was on public assistance. But when I first heard about it, I found it very disturbing, and at the time, I couldn't even have said why at the time; I just felt that we had lost something very precious when even newborn babies had to have numbers.
.
In the same way, the fact that identity theft has reached pandemic proportions is a valid reason for instituting unique numbers on every person. In the same way, Internet crime is also a valid reason for having IP addresses on every single electronic device. It's neither good nor evil in itself; like everything else, it's in the use. For now, it's actually a good - one that is disturbing to those who are aware that we're in the End Times and know the evil that will eventually come of it, and that means most of Christianity, Protestant as well as Catholic.

The Video of the Madonna that no one has answers…Does Virgin open and close eyes. Experts in Rome baffled

chris

Anonymous said...


Later, expert photographic and television technicians from Rome carefully examined the video and were unable to give a valid technical explanation of the phenomenon.
We offer you a video in which the statue of the Madonna opens her eyes. We report the article that appeared in the newspaper “La Sicilia” on Friday 23 September 1994 by Gianni Bonina.
On the evening of Sunday 18 September Domenico Di Martino a 24-year-old young man from Ispica who is handicapped, devoted to S. Maria Maggiore, brings his new camera to the church to film the procession of the Addolorata. But this cannot take place because a storm is raging. The parish priest Paolo Mansueto then sets up the procession along the central nave. With a moved hand, as a beginner who tries to become familiar with the new vehicle can have it, Domenico maneuvers the camera and realizes, zooming in, that the statue closes her big eyes and then reopens them. He rubs his eyes himself believing in an optical illusion, tries again and reviews the same phenomenon. He does not know that a little earlier a dozen parishioners drew Don Mansueto’s attention to point out that the Madonna had closed her eyes.
Then Domenico tells the parish priest that everything is visible on the camera. And Don Mansueto verifies that the eyelids of the statue have really lowered and raised. Don Mansueto delivers the footage to a photographer the same evening and confirms that it has not been manipulated. The faithful then feel authorized to shout at the prodigy and remember … that on the evening of the previous Sunday some parishioners had noticed how the appearance of the Madonna had something unusual. Fr Mansueto now says: “It was the day of the feast of the Addolorata, restored only a few years ago [at the behest of the same parish priest and of the Addolorata association] in Ispica. This may have influenced my parishioners who wanted it so much. But I too realized that Our Lady had an expression, as I can say, humanized. “
Later, expert photographic and television technicians from Rome carefully examined the video and were unable to give a valid technical explanation of the phenomenon.
In our opinion the event, despite the due traditional prudence of the ecclesiastical authorities, according to the admonition of the Apostle Paul, who says not to despise the prophecies but to examine them and accept what is true and good, can well be seen as ” sign ”of the presence of the Mother of God, of her complacency for the devotion to her of the faithful and of her desire to draw everyone to herself and for her to her Son Jesus Christ. On the other hand several times, at different times and places other statues of the Madonna came to life: so in 1971 in Eisenberg in Austria and more recently in 1988, in Ardee in Ireland, a statue of the Virgin moved her hands and opened and closed my eyes.
The AntennaSicilia video was broadcast in Mexico and the journalist Daniel Muñoz in the video tells of the interview made to the mother of an autistic child who witnessed the phenomenon and who has improved a lot since then, the boy says that Our Lady told him that she opens and closes her eyes not to look at the horrors of the sins of men in the world.

Jason R. said...

Thanks Bridget, Chris and JMC that I didn't burn any bridges here and are still welcomed, you're all so kind I shouldn't have been nervous, I should have known better. It got pretty crazy, and, yes, I can't go into details without permission from my Archbishop, but a high level of help was needed on s spiritual level from a priest from the Archdiosese of Calgary with that Zazeille that you could probably guess the nature of. I dont want to cast any shade on any of us with mental or emotional issues having a spiritual component, but in my case there was, and I'll leave it at that.

That aspect throws many questions within me about dreams and stories I've had that have cone true inexplicably, where I've also had dreams I thought were prophetic that have not come true at all, and all true prophecy from God is always 100% correct, so I wonder if the entire "guft" was demonic in nature from the very beginning? Even my latest dream that I only mention as I think Chris mentioned something about the Olympic Games as being the time frame of a great trouble coming, whether spiritual, a terrorist attack or war beginning, or a natural disaster, I've had a recurring dream involving fast darkening clouds coming in from the four cardinal directions over the Olympic Rings symbol such that reading that here filled me with a dread (and nothing from Our Lord should ever fill me with fear or dismay), so I believe it must be demonic or just a complete fluke of coincidence. If I may Chris, do you remember the source or reason why something bad is expected during the Tokyo Games?

Thought I'd also mention, my p-doc Dr. Chen when I went tired an appt today I found out is stuck back home in China, and is no where even near Wuhan, which makes me wonder if the full true picture is being honestly reported by the PRC and the WHO. I didn't even get a call before driving 126 kicks to get there yesterday evening, so I think his flight home was canceled or his travel plans were otherwise delayed on very short notice, a lit of disappointed patients there at his office today... and so close to centenary of Spanish Influenze pandemic...

Jason R. said...

Oh, I just noticed the topic of your link JMC, that looks like something exactly I'd benefit from. I forgot to mention on this topic, demons can mimic true prophecy when it comes to Earthly events, even 30, 40 years in the future, and more, as demons often are the originators of these same events, influencing people even across generations to work towards an infernal purpose, so as in my case what looked like prophecy when seeing an event in great detail 34 years before it happened, demon(s) may have had their hand in making that event happen, and what seemed a prophetic dream/picture/story was more an infernal seed planted that a demon or demons influenced to become s self-fulfilling prophecy, and humans are even more sighestibke while dreaming. Having someone who understands these things explain it was a big comfort, as was finding out just because a person suffers from demonic attack, obsession, or even possession doesnt mean they themselves are evil, or even bad! It can be a call to very frequent communion and reconciliation, Mass attendance, prayer, offering everything to Our Lord, etc., all very good things. Thinking demonic influence meant I was not a good person only served in making me stay in denial and not seeking proper help sooner, I'm so grateful for the research Emmett did for me, he may have saved a lot more than just my mortal life, as many others did (again with an extra special thank you to Mark W., you're a prince, and I feel badly I lost all my email before writing to you back more).

The one thing the exorcist that helped me said that demons cannot know in advance are things like purely natural disasters, that they'd have no foreknowledge of those because they have no hand in them, though I suppose with perfect earthly knowledge they could know things like pole shifts, etc., things that have clear cut warning signs, or earthquakes with man-made causes like when that city I think in Switzerland tried switching to geothermal driven electricity which cause a big quake.

We all miss your comments and info so please keep adding to the soup.

As to my info you referenced, it is from Nostradamus.
I must say that I do not mean to understand his writings. More is coming to the surface as people who are in his writings surface and become identified.. Still until a prediction happens it is difficult to say it was a prophetic quatrain.
In this instance it seeems the Soleimani(sp)quatrain is one of three quatrains addressing our current time. To try and explain all relevence in this blog is difficult..
However, because this topic is identified as important , it names a time frame which includes the ninth of Ave in 2020. The dates include what he calles the games of slaughter.
So it is all a guessing game, and hopefully a wrong guess, but it might be the start of a period of years and wars involving Iran and saudi , the usa and egypt.

I am not very good predictor o i would not be too concerned.

I would like to present a serious question to this blog if I may please.
JER
Before I formed you in the womb I knew you;
Before you were born I sanctified[a] you;
This addresses a prophet being born.
However, does this mean, imply that a soul, person , is formed and placed into a body for a specific purpose?
Presumes knowledge of this souls --reason d'etre
And presents some questions for a poor guy as myself.

Any insight please!!

Chris, for each and every person that God places on this earth, He has a specific purpose. Think back to your late teens and early twenties. Didn't you go through a period of wondering why you were here, what your purpose was? I know I did, and every single person I ever spoke to did, too...and it occurred regardless of the individual's religious beliefs or lack thereof. I suspect this is the very process that leads many priests and religious to their vocations. However, in the vast majority of cases, the individual's purpose remains known only to God, and it is enough for us to know that, as St. Ignatius says, our purpose is to praise God, reverence God, and love God, and by means of this to save our souls. Or, as the old Baltimore Catechism puts it, "...to know, love, and serve God in this life, and to be happy with Him forever in the next."

JMC said...

About that video by Morgan Freeman: None of this was news to me; I was taught about it in grade school, and have frequently been laughed at by Protestants for believing it. Somehow, they seem to have missed the memo about the two meanings to be read in the Apocalypse, as Emmett so clearly explains in his book.
.
That remark in the video about Revelations being political as well as spiritual is very true. That's why it was written in such deep symbolism. That symbolism would have been clear to Christians of the day, since all of it came from contemporary Hebrew literary styles and was a deeply embedded part of Hebrew "popular culture" of the day. To the Romans, however, it would have meant nothing. Since the Christians of the time were still mostly converts from Judaism, St. John's letters would have been clear warnings to them of the danger the Emperor Nero represented - remember, he came to power while St. John was still alive on Patmos. That's the preterist, or contemporary, meaning of the number of the Beast.
.
There have been several "small-a" antichrists throughout history since then; as Emmett points out, Hitler was likely one of them. I believe I've mentioned before that, because the devil likes to mock God, these small-a antichrists are precursors of the Antichrist, just as St. John the Baptist was the precursor of Our Lord. The Antichrist, of course, is still to come. Many of us alive today will see him. The thing to remember is, despite the tribulations that time will bring, for Christians it will be a time of joy as well, because it means that soon they will see Our Lord's return.
.
Father Zuhsldorf (search "Father Z's blog") says that God has given each of us a great honor by placing us here NOW, of all times. He expands on that by saying that we have to "...roll up our sleeves and do our part, even as God showers graces on us. The harder the times, the greater the graces. What an honor." Referring back to Chris' question about each soul's purpose, and St. Ignatius' answer to that question, there's a lot to ponder in that statement.

Thank you for your thoughts.

To follow this idea a bit further, I can imagine that my body, place of birth, country skin color were all part of my future placement. And testing I presume.
I think there is a lot of complexity in this answer.

And personaly, I feel as if we are at least three centuries from His return.

Tell your daughter you gave her 4000. dollars.
that should have covered a nice dress.

It is difficult being a softie. And things change VERY quickly when they know the faucet is turned of.

Hi JasonR,

I'd like to go back to your first post in this thread.... the one about 'doctors orders'.

I'm not a doctor but I understand the value of modern medicine.
I also believe in the Holy Spirit and Its action in our lives in a Real way.

I had an inkling recently about someone seeking professional advice but it had a curious twist - the person didnt have to go to a doctor, the doctor had to come to them.
Upon reading your posts, I believe this was the Holy Spirit directing me to speak to you.
I think what I'm trying to convey is that if you cannot stay away from sites such as this - as your doctor suggests - perhaps you would be charitable enough to at least inform your doctor about your interaction with the site and ask him/her to read and discuss the material with you.

At the very least it would make me feel as though I had responded - dutifully - to a call from the Holy Spirit. Would you be amenable to that suggestion?

mr

JMC said...

Jason, you told us once that a doctor practically imprisoned you in a hospital years ago after you expressed a belief in God. With that story in mind, I get very suspicious hearing that another doctor has told you to avoid religious websites. I think you ought to discuss this matter with a priest, or perhaps your spiritual advisor if you have one. Despite your mania, most of the time your posts are well-reasoned and clear. While I'm no doctor, I honestly don't think minimizing religious interaction is good advice.

Kevin A Miller said...

I was informed today that the Ecumenical Patriarch has dissolved the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate. This is an event of extraordinary magnitude in my estimation that is bound to send shockwaves through an already tense situation. Please continue to pray for the conversion of Russia as the Theotokos requested at Fatima.

Emmett O'Regan said...

So good to know you're okay Jason!!! We were all worried about you...
Sorry to hear about the various problems you've been having. Just place your trust in God and keep praying. Try not to overthink things too much. Remember the words of St. Padre Pio - "Pray, hope, and don't worry"...

Anonymous said...

Kevin,

That would be a big event, but I'm seeing nothing in the news or Orthodox forums/news. What do you suspect will be the outcome if the EP did do this?

Anon88

Kevin A Miller said...

@Anon88 you are not going to see or hear about this immediately and I don't think that this is commonly available information to the average Orthodox or Catholic Christian. To say that feathers will be ruffled would be an understatement, I think it may contribute to a conflict of which I cannot forsee at this time. Following up on what I have mentioned previously it may contribute to closer ties between Constantinople and Rome but will further divide the Orthodox communion, particularly in Russian Orthodoxy. I see this being at the very heart of why we need to pray for the conversion of Russia.

If I mayreturn to our in the womb topic.

I understand your everybody has a...

But my question, or wonder is, was that soul placed in a specific body intentionaly?

If your answer is yes, why aa placement in a future Gulag or concentration camp?

Why a poor African country destination over a USA life?

And I am not asking with any negative aspersion but wonder if this somehow points to previous angels existence.

However I think that is not kosher per Catholic teaching?
AY HELP??

Jason R. said...

Hi Chris,

I might not be answering your question properly, but when I had broken my back and was paralyzed for a couple of months, I was very upset, I cried every night, trying to be inconspicuous, and a nurse who was the mum of one of my former classmates heard me, and though I was raised Catholic by a very devout mum, we had two hours of Bible reading, rosary and stations of the Cross every night, I hadn't developed a relationship with Our Lord yet, and in my time of need this awesome woman gave up her lunch break every night for two months just to talk to me about God. One thing she said that really, really stuck with me, and still does, is that from the richest prince to the lowliest pauper, not a single, solitary life on Earth that has ever been or will ever be is one without pain. We all suffer. I don't know if that helps at all?

And mightyrighty, I see what you are getting at. I'm sure you saw that my doctor is a Communist from the People's Republic of China in my post about him being stuck there right now, so I guarantee he would definitely not approve of me being here (or likely any of us, haha), and deviating from his orders puts my disability benefits in jeopardy, so point well taken, I better go. Thank you for pointing this out, though I'm sad to go, what I wouldn't do in front of Dr. Chen I shouldn't be doing at all... sigh. I miss this place.

Mark W said...

Kevin Miller - I see some things listed as a granting of autonomy for the Ukranian Orthodox Church. This was from January 5th, it looks like. Is this the same thing?


Bridget - Yeah, that would be cool. Although I'm rather fond of Betelgeuse and would be sad to see it go, I'd love to see a supernova at some point.


Jason - I've had some encounters with Commie doctors in the past myself. One was in Poland, a few years after the wall came down. She never let the cigarette, dangling from the corner of her mouth, interrupt her vodka slurred comments about the dangers of the west in modern medicine. And even more recently, just a few months ago, an imported doctor from the PRC dismissed me without even an examination. Communist doctors: Getting paid for doing nothing since 1917! You are healthy, comrade, the state says so!

And my wife could tell you stories about dentists during martial law in Poland that would curl your spine and grow hair on your hands...

JMC said...

Chris, I'm not sure what you mean by "previous angels' existence;" unless you're referring to the Mormon belief that souls pre-exist long before bodies are made for them.
.
As to your questions about why a soul is placed in one particular body (yes, it's deliberate on God's part) or why one place or not another, that's the sort of thing that remains known only to God. He has His reasons for every single thing that happens. Jason's answer is the right one: No matter whether you're born male or female, rich or poor, suffering is a part of life. You can either whine about it, or offer it up. We do know that the latter is what God wants from us. We unite our sufferings with His Passion, and He turns them into prayers that can pull souls out of Purgatory, save lives and convert souls here on earth, and even bring about miracles.
.
Basically, God's reasoning is so far above ours that even if He were to explain the reasons behind His actions, our limited human understanding probably wouldn't be able to grasp it. But it's still a good subject for meditation. ;D

JMC
Thanks for yur answer. And I am not complaining as this is not about me at all.

I was wondering if there is a reason, method that seerves a souls placement into a body..
The angel reference is a reference to an idea that the angels that did not revolt in totality against GOD were given an opportunity to prove themselves, but as I type this I realise that is wrong.

CHRIS

mightyrighty said...

@JasonR -

I think youre doing the right thing by taking a break.
Whats more; I think you know its the right thing too.

Its very easy to get suckered into debates and details about Gods plan!
I too love the excitement brought by learning and sharing new things.
All of the great minds and big hearts here sharing information and insight can be uplifting and very seductive! Its like having a new girlfriend!

I think though that you've realised that starting a new relationship right now might not be the best option - even if it is with people as marvellous as us!

You are right to keep some distance, take some time and set yourself straight before jumping in at the deep end again.

But like all "True Loves" we will be here when you have found yourself again and are on the mend. No point in turning up dishevelled for a date with us!
Take some time to gather yourself together!
So go and speak to those you love, trust and have built relationships with in life.
Ask them to read our conversation and get their opinion. Would you promise me that?

Because at the end of it all, when youve found your old self.... we'll still be here!

Best of luck with your recovery,

mr



Bridget said...

Very eloquently put, MightyRighty! Jason, count on prayers from me! We love having you contribute but only when you feel comfortable!!

Mark W, yeah it would be strange to have Orion altered forever...BUT think about this. I read in an older post where Emmett suspected the Cross of light in the sky could be a cross-shaped supernova. If Betelgeuse is a contender for this, I was curious about any other symbolism associated with Orion to pull it all together. I remembered the constellations that are on the tilma of Our Lady of Guadalupe. Turns out Orion is placed underneath her feet! Could this all be connected somehow with the end of Satan’s greater power? I know it might not even explode, but could the dimming of Betelgeuse (that’s situated under Mary’s feet where she crushes Satan’s head) somehow point to the end of Satan’s greater power/upcoming closing of the abyss? I might be overthinking it, so I wanted to just toss it out here to see if it made sense to anyone else. I think it started dimming in October and is still continuing to do so.

Waaaaay back someone else posted somewhere that 1903 and 2020 were discovered on the tilma as well, but I can’t find it anymore. Maybe it wasn’t right. ???? Or too far fetched.

I took advice to heart, and sat down not with my psychiatrist, but with my parish priest today, and went through these comments and some other blog entries (he is ordering Emmett's book now!), and he didn't see any problems at all (other than a warning not so even dip my toe into the freezing water's outside the Barque of St. Peter).

There is zero problem mental health-wise for participating here, I've never been stabler since first onset in 1986 in fact. I had been on lithium years ago, and my kidneys and thyroid had big problems, but we gave it another go by starting with microdoses and building up to a normal therapeutic dose and it worked (yay!), so it's more a matter of following doctor's orders or no, but though we don't discuss his viewpoints, I know that my p-doc is a Chinese patriot and hard-core Communist, so as Father pointed out and some here as well, maybe that isn't exactly the best person to be taking any sort of spiritual direction from, including who and where I fellowship and exchange ideas with fellow Catholics, especially ones with their finger on the pulse of our times.

Reading what Bridget wrote reminding that Emmett had previously guessed that the Sign of the Cross in the sky could be a supernova, and this thing with Betelgeuse I'd never heard of, then the big earthquake again in Turkey today, I decided I can't afford not to come here, whether as a lurker or a participator, and don't worry MightyRighty, my mental health with lithium is now as relatively normal as any random picked out a crowd, that isn't an issue at all, so using your metaphor, all ready for dating, haha, may I have this dance? j/k, but I hope that puts your fears to rest. I've been very stable since the beginning of October, like a "normal" person, but I wanted to wait a few month to be sure, but I think I'm ready to participate in a healthy way.

And Emmett's advice is great, I'm keeping things simple and won't overthink, just know as long as I'm receiving the sacraments and praying regularly I'll be fine. One thing I know is I need to work very much so on my brevity, I just get excited over things and may be write too much (e.g. like my Great Monarch post), so I'll be conscious of not bombarding the forum. I'll make mistakes (I shouldn't have been airing dirty family laundry about my daughter, that was wrong, but soon as I realized I deleted those posts at least... I'm guessing everyone here has at least a post or two they immediately regretted).

So, yeah, my militantly atheist doctor the more I think about it the more I can see that he, even unwittingly or subconsciously, of course would not want any patients of his to have anything got to do with any religion... so puts his directions in a different light. I didn't show any family members this forum as Mighty suggested, but I think my priest is infinitely a better judge of spiritual things that, say, my brother who is also a medical doctor, but also is an atheist and an extreme anti-Catholic. Hope that makes sense! And if I sound like I'm off the deep end, I'm sure someone here will (gently, please) let me know, but with, like the 2020 in the tilma, the re-dedication of England by the Church as Our Lady's dowry, I don't want to lose touch with the signs of our times, and also the sober second thought on my own ideas people here always provide.

... whoops, forgot, JMC, you picked up just what I was putting down RE: the problem of suffering (as in the philosophical problem, similar to the problem of evil), you put it so well, too... for me if my suffering seems useless, there is such an easy remedy, "...I offer You all my prayers, works, joys & sufferings of this day...", uselessness negated!

And Mark W., thanks for your comments, I know from reading that esp. under Stalin, but really any atheistic totalitarian system psychiatry has been abused as an easy way to silence or discredit dissenters, and when that Egyptian doctor had mr committed for saying in interview I believed in God and agels and demons, like any Catholic would or should say, I got a taste of the type of system your wife experienced first-hand. I cant imagine dental torture a la Marathon Man and the is it safe? scene! I bit into a tiny fragment of steel in a hamburger in Nov. on a Friday night that cracked a molar clean in half to the root and waited til Monday morning to get ot yanked (my dentist is awesome, a Baptist elder in my town, but not anti-Catholic like lots of Baptists are, maybe because he was raised in orphanage in Jamaica run by Catolic brothers, he always books me end of day so he and his wife and I can have a orayer meet), though my dentist said, Jason, you should have called right away, in your case I'd even make a house call, haha, but even that was excruciating, the pain so intense it referred as far from my gumline as right down into my legs, and even genitals (!) the longer it was untreated. I could totally believe dental torture being a really used thing! And your comment made me realize that Dr. C's discouragement away from website, books, Mass and Adoration, that might have not some small part at least influenced by his own beliefs. I don't see any harm in participating here, and actually think that would be safer than being shut away here alone in me house with next to no communication with a soul. You are a good friend, Mark, to all of us.

@Kevin, thanks for sharing that piece of information RE: Orthodox in Ukraine (I found out recently writing "the Ukraine" is very much, ummm, frowned upon, whoops, I didn't know).

I went to a secular website but that has pretty good coverage, maybe biased, I'm not sure, when I used them as a reference last year someone took umbrage because they are a CIA front organization or claimed to be, but I find them good for English language for Eastern European events factual pieces that steer clear of taking a side or giving opinion (https://www.rferl.org/), but no mention of the event you wrote of.

Is there anywhere I could go to find more info?

Jason R. said...

Argh, spoke, or should I say wrote, too soon, found this that makes mention of Jan.5th: https://www.rferl.org/a/ukrainian-orthodox-church-marks-one-year-of-independence-from-moscow/30393633.html

Jason R. said...

Argh x 2, again wrote too soon, the date referenced was Jan. 5th of last year... did something new happen, or were you posting because of the 1st anniversary? I haven't spoken to any of them since the UOC was created, but my Ukrainian-heritage family across Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Alberta were all to a person very much in favour of independence from Moscow, but with your position Kevin I'm thinking you probably understand things without ethno-nationalism being thrown into the mix, so I'd be super interested in hearing any more information you could provide, or the poster way up above that mentioned the Redemptorists (they were the main order of priests in my Archdiocese and I almost became one myself in the early 90s), what have the Redeptorists in Ukraine been doing exactly?

"this thing with Betelgeuse..., then the big earthquake again in Turkey today"

When you look at the constellation of Orion, you have Jacob the Patriarch in front of you. The Eridan River that flows from his "left leg" is Jordan, meaning the stream of its biological and spiritual descendants (through the Holy Baptism).
Betelgeuse is a stone at Bethel, where Jacob rested. The starry sky, constellations in particular, tell the salvation story, the glory of God (see Psalm 18/19: 'Coeli enarrant').
If the brightness of Betelgeuse changes dramatically, Jacob the Patriarch waggles about, meaning the awakening of one of his descendants: the great monarch of the end of time!

The M5.1 quake on January 22, 2020 had an epicenter in the Akhisar area. This city was founded on the ruins of ancient Thyatyr. The shocks were felt throughout the province of Manisa, which also includes the cities of Philadelfia and Sardis. Read the Letters to the Churches in these three cities, and you may realize that the Apocalypse is happening right now.
The M6.8 quake on January 24, 2020 had an epicenter near Sivrice in the valley, where the great Euphrates River is born. The former Armenian city of Harpoot (Harput), i.e. the Rock Fortress, is also located here and was a witness to the Armenian genocide. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harpoot
Wiki: The Ancient Greek form Euphrátēs (Ancient Greek: Εὐφράτης, as if from Greek εὖ "good" and ϕράζω "I announce or declare") in connection with the Fortress on the Rock means Paraclete, which as an unshakable fortress of the Catholic faith, the Rock (= Peter the Roman), after cleansing the world of evil, will declare the era of immeasurable good: the era of the Holy Spirit, God's Kingdom on earth.




Mark W said...

I was doing a little reading on Betelgeuse...

First off, I said that I was rather fond of Betelgeuse. It was the first star I was able to identify by name as a kid, so we go way back.

Betelgeuse is the only star that's big enough and close enough (relatively speaking), to see surface details from Earth. Let that sink in a moment. This is the only star in the heavenly sphere on which we can see convection zones and sun spots from Earth - without Hubble's assistance. It is absolutely unique.

It's a variable star, so its light changes over time. But its cycles are well known. The thing about the current dimming is that it's much greater than at any other time since records have been kept.

Before the current dimming, it was expected to last "tens of thousands of years" before going nova. If it goes supernova in our lifetimes, it will be perhaps miraculously ahead of schedule.

Betelgeuse is 642.5 light years from Earth. So the light from Betelgeuse that we see now actually left the star 642.5 years ago. That means that if we see the explosion this year, it will have actually happened in the summer of 1377. Did anything interesting happen in the summer of 1377? (I'll look into that a bit more later.)

Here's the cool part...

The explosion is expected to be so massive that the immediate blast could be brighter than the moon.

It will be the third brightest thing in the sky for four or five months at least, and will cast shadows at night.

In that time - 4 or 5 months, at least - it will be visible in daylight hours when the sun is up.

The only other visible-in-daylight supernova that I've heard of was the one in the year 1054. That was recorded globally, and is where we got the Crab Nebula. But that was an insignificant star that was more than 6500 light years from Earth. When Betelgeuse finally blows, it will be the second most significant astronomical event in human history (the Star of Bethlehem has to be the most significant, even if we don't entirely understand it from a scientific point of view).

All we need is for the old girl to blow up in the shape of a cross...The Cross.

Betelgeuse is at least a prime candidate, I should think.

P5borel said...

Hi All,

Just wanted to say that the posts are getting really interesting again - like in the old days!

Also just wanted to let everyone know about Taylor Marshall's free lecture series on youtube on the Book of Revelation from which I have learned a lot and which I think we all might gain some more food for thought to add the mix of ideas discussed on this blogsite. He covers the whole Apocalypse in 8 or 9 videos that are under an hour each.

Blessings to All!

Mark W said...

Hey Emmett,

Have a look at the comment above about 1377 being the year Betelgeuse would have exploded, if we see the explosion this year.

Was the Worthy Shepherd Prophecy written in that year, or was that the year Blessed Tomasuccio de Foligno died?

1377 was also the year when the first attempt to move the papacy back to Rome from Avignon took place. (It didn't last.)

It may actually be brighter than the moon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AVUGzqAkf68

Jason R. said...

Wow Mark, I had a feeling the earthquake was significant though it got fairly buried by the other news of the day, but had no idea of all that, or the correct interpretation of Orion.

Funny that Betelgeuse drew your eye early in life, mine as well (though to be fair also did Cassiopeia, whose story/symbolism is kind of frightening, but that's another story)... I bet a lot of kids could say the same, it's the star I'd wish on wishing I wish I may I wish I might. If it blows in the irrefutable shape of a cross, a Christian cross in some way as unmistakable as Constantine's vision of the chi-rho, I think Emmett's book sales might take a wee jump, lol. I wonder why I've always been drawn to that star (though in my neck of the woods, literally woods, every child learns how to find Polaris very rarly on for safety reasons), maybe because of the unique properties it has?

As an aside, called the mental health clinic I go to late yesterday wanting to know when I can reschedule, when my psychiatrist will be back in Canada? Receptionist after talking to someone with her hand over the phone just said they don't know, but they'll call when he starts booking again. Weird. He's in Fujian so not in any quarantined zone, or no reported ones at least. Again? , gotta hunch the PRC isnt giving the whole story on how widespread outbreak is, for whatever reason I couldn't say

I’m loving this Orion guessing game! (Mark, I had the same line of thinking - what was going on in history when it actually exploded.)

Another interesting tidbit. Orion is mentioned in the book of Job, where God finally speaks to him and says, “Can you bind the chains of the Pleiades, Or loose the cords of Orion?” And remember that Emmett believes that the period of Satan’s greater power is reflected in the story of Job.

I think we’re on to something, guys!

MyronM, your theory of the dimming pointing to the arrival of the Great Monarch falls in nicely with this timeline as well!

Anonymous said...

The great monarch shall wage war till he is 40 years of age. A king of the house of lilies, he shall expel tyrants. This puts the destruction of Betelgeuse bigger than the moon within our lifetimes!

Anonymous said...

Though this doesn't mean the destruction of a star as a cross. I think you are all associating this with St. Faustina's vision. He told her, Write this: before I come as the just Judge, I am coming first as the King of Mercy. Before the day of justice arrives, there will be given to people a sign in the Heavens of this sort: All light in the heavens will be extinguished, and there will be great darkness over the whole earth. Then the sign of the Cross will be seen in the sky, and from the openings where the hands and the feet of the Savior were nailed will come forth great lights which will light up the earth for a period of time. This will take place shortly before the last day. (Diary 83) I think that cross is being associated with a star which could remain around for over a century. The cross in St. Faustina's vision seems to be imminent warning of the end of the age or three days of darkness whereas Betelgeuse could remain a long time before this ever occurs.

Seems like every post and brain-fart gets further from the truth and Emmett just sits there with his thumb in his as accepting every comment as valid and equal.

Jason moved from confessed mental breakdown fugitive to justifying his participation in less than what.....two days?
He 'shouldnt be here'to 'Im gonna leave' to 'my shrink is part of the conspiracy'.
And all of you dumbfucks egg him on.

Cant you recognise - cant you distinguish - genuine mental illness from informed, educated scholarly curiosity?
Whats become clear to me is that Emmett cannot.

Someone studying for an MA/PhD in this field should have the intellect to distinguish and the character to discern the difference between detatched analysis and personal agenda.
Emmett you are facilitating in Chris and Jason the very excitable, reactionary, nonsensical, self-centered horseshit that people use to destroy out Faith.

You are supposed to be an exemplar - a totem for the faith.
Instead you elect to provide a template for loons to deride and mock our faith.

If (when) you are ever hauled before the Media (medae) you will be asked about the opinions of your contributors - not your own opinions.

You need to disassociate yourself and your work from these people; they will bring you down.

I really think this is quite unfair of you. And very transparent as well, as you have zero concern for my mental well-being, you just dressed it up that way because you and I have butted heads RE: Putin previously, among other topics. If anything my only wrong-doing is in being overly suggestible, and speaking out loud so-to-speak, wondering if I should be here or not not just for my own mental and spiritual health, but because I don't want to harm others. You seem free of such moral encumbrances to say the least. I'm not shy at all about having a mental illness, but Bipolar Disorder doesn't mean you should hide yourself away in a cave somewhere, that is medieval thinking. If I'm not having a depressive or manic episode I'm as sane as you are (and judging by some of your posts, I'd say quite a bit saner... I don't know if you're drunk posting or what, but you seem to have a definite anger disorder to me, or at best are a very cruel person). Your faux concern for me just to try to convince me to shut up and go away, all the while claiming that the Holy Spirit led you to drive me away? Pardon my french, but WTactualF was that about? Using the Holy Spirit as your own personal figleaf to drive a personal agenda, wow, you are playing with fire my friend. I'd tread extremely carefully.

You're also irrational, as evidenced by "genuine mental illness from informed, educated scholarly curiosity?". Please, or scholarly one, lol, what exactly did I post about what I can only guess you are referencing about the Great Monarch, that indicated "genuine mental illness" vs. "educated scholarly curiosity" pray tell? I did many hours of research before seeing some definite signposts that the Jacobite heir to the thrones of the UK & France, plus as the pretender to the throne of Bavaria, the existing princely kingdom of Liechtenstein, etc., I don't see how any of that is evidence of mental illness, I thought it was rather well thought out. Or if you're trying to say that someone with Bipolar Disorder never has anything worthwhile to add to a discussion, I could list my rather extensive resume that would say otherwise, but the main point is that it's a logical fallacy to discount information according to its source rather than judging it on its merits, that's something most people are either taught, or come to using their own mental faculties, by the time they're 10 years old, literally, I learned than in several Phil as well as Logic courses in Computer Science where one studies propositional calculus. For someone calling others out on being irrational, well, please, maybe take a look in the mirror?

Jason R. said...

Anyways, you are officially on my pay-no-mind-list from here on out. You're either an angry and mean drunk, my strong suspicion with your wild swings in character, or a malignant narcissist who can't help but let their mask slip now and again, either way, not someone who I'd consider ever taking their advice, or giving any credence to. Your temper tantrum over me posting here reveals all I think anyone needs to see you are far from being guided by the Holy Spirit, but some inexplicable hatred that's eaten away any milk of human kindness out of you. My feelings aren't hurt as much as a sort of shock, and almost crying, not for myself, but for you. Somewhere along the way someone or something has hurt you very badly. But that doesn't excuse you for being a bigot and a moral coward, so I've had as much of you as I'll pay any heed to, and not a word or second more of my time wasted.

Annnnnywaaaay, lol, I came across this book by someone who believe that Tolkien (who no doubt way very familiar with all the Catholic prophecies of the Great Monarch) wrote the Lord of the Rings books as an allegory using said prophecies. I'm not vouching for the veracity of her argument one way or another, and am only a chapter it, but it's very intriguing if nothing else, I thought maybe others with a particular interest in the GM might want a gander at it. The same author has another compilation it looks like on the GM that again I'm not vouching for, but that one is next on my reading list.

Mark W said...

People, don't feed the troll.

Jason R. said...

Mark W., that was an interesting little read. That part of the 3rd secret has always nagged a bit at me, why mention as if seeing an image in a mirror. It seemed a bit superfluous, and one thing Our Lady never seems to be in authentic visions is a chatterbox, nor the seers, so why mention that particular thing? I've thought maybe it was an allusion to 1 Corinthians 13, the famous "through a glass, darkly" in speaking of how we see Our Lord's will and designs now compared to how we will partake (hopefully) in the full Beatific Vision in Heaven someday, and interestingly how in Jewish rabbinic tradition true prophets like Moses are thought to have had visions as through looking into a mirror (see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1_Corinthians_13#"Through_a_glass,_darkly" ), so an indication that, yes, the vision and message of Fatima is genuine prophecy.

But another thing that's nagged me is how Sr. Lucia when she had the famous meeting with the Patriarch of Venice, along with the Marquise Olga Mocenigo de Cadaval, has been alleged to have recognized Cardinal Albino Luciani, the future Pope Ven. John Paul I, immediately on meeting, and again it could be mere gossip like so much around Fatima may, fell to her knees and addressed him as Holy Father (from Vatican Insider, an article that suggests that the reason Cardinal Luciani was, with first hand reports, so upset after this meeting is that Sr. Lucia warned of a great apostasy or even schism coming, https://www.lastampa.it/vatican-insider/en/2017/05/12/news/luciani-spoke-to-sr-lucia-of-apostasy-and-the-problems-of-the-church-1.34599250 ).

Jason R. said...

I suppose even if true, Sr. Lucia could have just been given the gift of recognizing the future pope, but I've thought that perhaps instead it's because he was the pope from her vision from so long before. From that I wondered, since it isn't really in any dispute even that CCCP using the NKVD/MGB/KGB/FSK/now FSB (who knows for how long, haha, pick an abbreviation and stick with it Russia) had long before begun under Stalin a concerted effort to infiltrate the Church with priests concentrating on reaching the very highest of levels, that Pope Ven. John Paul I may have been assassinated, further fulfilling what Sr. Lucia saw in her vision. With the prohibition on autopsies for popes, I didn't think we'd ever find out the truth, but with relatively new information, as well as after reading Emmett's book and it making so much sense to me, of the pope complaining of chest pains but not seeing a doctor the evening before, that he died of a heart attack seems likely.

This is just my hunch, but perhaps the as through a mirror bit could have shown both Pope Ven. John Paul I *and* Pope St. John Paul II, for the latter certainly wanted to "mirror" even to taking the same name he short-lived predecessor. To me this would explain why Sr. Lucia recognized Cardinal Luciani as "a" Holy Father from her vision, but also showed to her Pope St. JPII as the pope to be assassinated, or rather to be assassinated by the KGB through its Bulgarian equivalent, before Our Lady's miraculous intervention, and the saving of the mass slaughter of clergy unlike anything since the Diocletian persecution (foreshadowed by the slaughter up to even 13 bishops and archbishops in Spain, as well as the clerical mass murder in Mexico before that) that I believe would have happened in the wake, or as the result of, a nuclear war in 1985 that was put aside by the Pope on March 25, 1984.

Another interpretation that occurred to me is perhaps the most close call in the assassination of Pope St. JPII was one of two Holy Fathers in the vision, one that could have occurred and all the awful aftermath of a Warsaw Pact first-strike followed by an invasion of Europe in punishment of the Minor Apostasy we seem to be in right now still, the other Holy Father one yet to come, the Angelic Shepherd who will definitely be martyred, along with an unprecedented perhaps number of priests and religious. Either way, thanks so much for the link Mark, it explains two things in two different interpretations that have nagged at me, as well as just the mentioning of a mirror at all in the vision, and to what purpose.

p.s. Though I feel literally like a new man taking lithium, it's given me a new lease on life, if any of you see me displaying any signs of delusion (excepting, with the respect that's due, MightyRighty and his other sock-puppet accounts as I suspect some delusion, of a nature which I don't need to expound on, from that source itself), please let me know.


Even as last time I was posting and was clearly having delusions, I've always been open to correction and the sound advice of others like you Mark who have nothing but my best interests in mind, particularly when they're delivered free of ad hominem; its a rarity with my condition, as someone noted back early last year, that I can be having delusions but will still take sound and unbiased advice when I am, that I am. I consider it a real special blessing maybe from God that makes this particular cross so much lighter to bear... thanks in advance for that, and thanks by to Our Lord and Our Lady. I visited Padre St. Pio's relics this summer and touched a pectoral cross to his cloak, and that was when, by force of suggestion or something more, I began getting better, so thank you Padre St. Pio as well (I have a cross hanging on my refrigerator, I guess not the most auspicious of places, but it's a good place to remember to touch it to my forehead as a thank you several times a day)... apologies if that sounds C*R*A*Z*Y :-)

JMC said...

Mark, I had just read that article at Fr. Z's blog about the Third Secret and posted the following comment there:

"I was puzzled when this was published as the Third Secret. I had read a book about the Fatima apparitions in the late 1980s or early 1990s; I THINK it was "Fatima in Her Own Words," but I can't swear to it. At any rate, in this book, this particular vision was clearly described. It was after describing this vision that the description ended, citing matters pertaining to the final part of the Secret. The minute I read that this vision had been published and proclaimed to be the entire Third Secret, I knew it wasn't, simply because if it had been, Lucia would never have made it public. I'm with Mother Angelica on this: 'We didn't get the whole thing.'"

I might add when I read the vision years ago, it was in exactly the same words given in the published portion of the Secret in 2000.
.
As for the troll...as I recently told another friend, trolls are nothing but bullies with keyboards. When you ignore a bully, he actually gets worse for a while, because his whole aim is to get a rise out of you. When he can't get you to react, he'll get worse until even that doesn't work, and eventually he'll give up.

Any ideas or insight into the Israel-Arab peace deal that President Trump has initiated??
Remember, this process started during the August 21,2017, total solar eclipse that began its United States crossing in the state of Oregon.
Also included in this possible prophetic attracion is the fact that its direction will be crossed at an opposite angle in 2024.
The fact that it had been almost 100 years before the last total solar eclipse crossing America and now another crosses forming an X over the land has prophecy readers attention!

Seven years apart forming an X over a gentile nation?

The point of land in Southern Illinois where the X marks is called "Little Egypt". and perhaps more forewarning is the point where the two paths meet is called the town of Makanda which was called the"Star of Egypt"
The fact that the eclipse occurs in Leo which is part of the Relevation 12 sign.
12 states crossed and a woman with 12 stars.


No wonder people are reading much into this "SIGN".

I thought it was interesting to see this, given our recent conversations about Betelgeuse:

"Indeed, some astronomers have hypothesized that this could have been a signal from the Betelgeuse star, which mysteriously dimmed recently and is expected to undergo a supernova explosion. But the Betelgeuse star is still there so it's not that scenario, Howell said. It's also unlikely to be another supernova because they happen in our galaxy only about once every 100 years, he added.

JMC, thanks for you comments on how to deal with bullies. I've had to deal with lots of stigma in my life, lots of bullies I guess you could call them, where I had to do things always 10x better, work always 10x harder, etc., it seemed before people will take a person with mental health issues seriously, but I always overcame those prejudices, even getting unanimous votes from 3,500+ people to represent them over 3 terms, not to toot my own horn though I guess I am, but even knowing my illness a whole lot of people placed their futures and trust in me in the past. Maybe I shouldn't have given a piece of my mind, I won't in the future, but it's hard to stay silent sometimes when legitimately aggrivied... but I guess if I were to follow Our Lord's example, He remained silent when it really mattered, so surely I can.

I don't want to belabour the point, but your words as always are wise, so points well taken from both you and Mark. Hope I just didn't stir the pot more, but I'll not respond like that again. After Mark's post I searched "troll" on DuckDuckGo, and the very first thing that came up was "Don't feed the trolls, it only makes them hungrier". But I also knew it would eat me up a bit if I didn't at least write what was in my heart if only once because I was very angry at being so mischaracterized, with straw men arguments/having words put in my mouth, all of that, so I hope you and anyone else kind of get that as well. 'Nuff said.

An article about the clashes between French firefighters and riot police today:

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7938937/Firefighters-police-battle-streets-Paris.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ito=1490&ns_campaign=1490

Does anyone have any friends on France? I have one contact, but they are a really far, far left-wing trade unionist, so are a biased source, but they said the country is on the edge of exploding right now, with more and more groups, like school teachers, right now joining the Yellow Vest Movement. It hasn't been in the news so much since this time last year, but according to her the place is on the verge of a 2nd French Revolution, for what that's worth. I found it pretty disturbing that polling last year showed that over half of all the demonstrators that identified themselves as belonging to the movement believed that the world is controlled by a vast Zionist conspiracy. Over half, that is sobering especially given the 75th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz also in the news.

@Anonymous 08:10 "This blog is for posting educational if not vocational literature including a lot of apocalyptic fun."
Aside from the fact that that sentence makes no grammatical sense this is for 'Apocalyptic fun', is it?
Is that how you see it Emmett?

I have heard all this before. Ayatollah Khomeini in 1979 was the anti-christ. Then it was Saddam Hussein and his WMD. After that it was Clinton then Bush depending on your political leanings. More recently its been Osama Bin Laden and Barrack Obama.

I notice Jason R has turned his mental health issues into virtue rather than a problem and youve all applauded him for it. As though 'being nice' will help.
Whats actually happening is that youre all following Pied Piper-style the utterances of someone who is under psychiatric care and taking medication.

Shame on you all for encouraging this person in their delusions, however convincing.
(Have none of you noticed how he simply turns the accusations levelled at him back on the accuser? Are you all so bereft of self-awareness?)

Some of these other characters are very damaging too.

Chris sees the end of the world in virtually every news story. His obsessiveness should give that away. Fully 25% of the comments on a January 2019 post about Russia are from Chris alone. 6/29 comments on the december 19 'Miracle of the Sun' comments are from Chris.
July 'Sign of Jonah' thread sees 40 instances of Chris in 240 posts.

The threads of Chris' obsession run deep. From French riots to the (non-?)consecration of Russia. From implanted chips to the Vatican bank, to hurricanes and volcanoes to youtube videos about angels....on and on it goes.... round and round through Chris' mind it all whirls.
What youre witnessing here is the playing out of unhappiness - a manifestation of despair.
Chris has so lost himself in these stories that he probably cant remember where he got onto the merry-go-round and where hes supposed to get off.

In short, these 'signs' are Chris' (and many of your) attempts to reassure himself that the world that has treated him so badly will come to a fiery and vengeful end; justice will be done and he is party to it. He knows its coming! Laugh at me, will you? I told you so!
Rather than come to terms with their lives and address the issues they face (what we Catholics call 'Forgiveness') they hide in seeing Gods vengeful hand in every headline and random event; Its just another eruption or microchip or shooting star away.

I mean Myrom M has posted that some Muslim character maybe the Messiah. A member of an apostate expressly anti-Christian sect may be the Messiah?!?!?!

Youre all half mad, and thats fine ;)
Unfortunately some of you are actually mad, and thats not ok.

'Dont feed the trolls' okay, fine but add to it please - 'dont engage with psychiatric patients, youre not helping.'

pretty much my last post here I think. Enjoy your 'apocalyptic fun'.

Bridget said...

MightyRighty, the reason we think you’re being unfair is because Jason and Chris have both contributed insightful comments in the mix of tabloids/conspiracy theories and delusions. Where in Scripture does it say to not engage with those who are under the influence of medication?! But I’ll remind you what Emmett mentioned before...
"But now you must also rid yourselves of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips." (Col 3:8)

You’ve been mean to all of us, but we still look past it and thoughtfully consider anything you have to say regarding the Apocalypse. Why can’t you do the same with Jason and Chris when they post something you don’t agree with?? They are not unworthy of contributing to the conversation. I’m under the impression we’re all prayerful practicing Catholics. I guarantee you none of us here will have our Faith damaged because of too many comments from them. No longer going to Mass or making time for prayer is what will damage our Faith. Not this blog! A while back I remember Jason connecting the dots I think with the Enlightenment and the location of a large telescope on the Canary Islands. That’s just one of many examples of information that I’m sure Emmett was appreciative of getting added into the mix.

Bridget said...

Also, Emmett- any plans for a full post on Our Lady of Walsingham/Rededication of England? I can’t believe that’s been in the making since Sept 2018 and now we’re just a couple months away. Wow! Time flies!

Anonymous said...

Hi Bridget;

No need to defend me. but thanks
Jason, I would guess feels the same way.
Perhaps I am presuming that when I post tabloids/conspiracy theories they are all rooted as a reference to prophetic events.
Please inform me where mainstream media, any type, is keeping us informed of current events. The articles I post do. For example, fish returning to the Dead Sea. This is a biblical reference to a sign of the last days.If some people think it is me writing these wake ups they are incorrect. Maybe I find more meaning in Russian, IRAN partnership for THE FIRST TIME IN HISTORY, that is prophetic fulfillment.

A mix of tabloids/conspiracy theories and delusio? The formation of the United States of Europe with a president. The reunification of the Holy Roman Empire The unification which is the story of the Humpty Dumpty poem. Prophecy and WE ARE LIVING happened in 1998 I think.IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The prophecies of the Irish Saint Malachy, rekindled near the turn of the Millenium as we get a non roman Pope.

I don't think we understand the possible closeness of events forecast that are possible at this time. I am not saying they will happen!!! I am posting recognition of the possibility!!

And still not understanding that Russia has not been consecrated correctly reveals the way we are pressured . to accept ideas by powers in any district.
Are we aware of the ramifications of the current peace deal by trump?
I am not implying any knowledge of what will happen
BUT JOEL WOTE OF THIS 3000 YEARS AGO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WE ARE LIVING IT!!!!!!!!
I do not have the totality of Emmett work so my posts are possible pieces of his subject.

But the items posted are the current stories that will end up as parts of biblical fulfillment.
I only realize that this fact is truly not understood by a few of the readers of this blog.

WE ARE LIVING IN IT!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't mix tabloids/conspiracy theories and delusions but I can see the relevance to prophesy in many things occurring and I post them. The fact that they are viewed as mix of tabloids/conspiracy theories and delusions shows that we are reading a blog containing the very actions of its writer.
It might not be a big thud and look at this but rather a butterfly effect causing instigation of future events but Turkey changing against the USA and Israel is starting. The partnership of Saudi America and Israel is jumping off the pages!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If you don't see the things happening you are behind the times !!

And mighty I am a Degreed BioChemist!! Your depiction of me shows you even are a poor psychologist.
My poor typing and care regarding grammar is a fair target.
To you others If I am disrupting the flow of the reason d'etre of this blog please write it on these pages and I will stop posting.

Chris

"You’ve been mean to all of us, but we still look past it and thoughtfully consider anything you have to say regarding the Apocalypse."

Um....no....there's no need of further consideration.


People, stop feeding the troll. You're only encouraging sinful behavior such as anger and pride and slander and filthy language (not to mention poor grammar, of which we are all accused). I honestly don't even believe that his person is Catholic. They're just here to stir things up, and by responding, you're aiding and abetting their behavior. Nothing Chris or Jason has done here is sinful, but MightyRighty's behavior is. Leave them be, and perhaps they'll leave us be.

When someone says holy roman empire what do they mean? Some people say this is the holy Roman empire: You are Peter and on this rock I will build my church. The Roman Catholic Church is sometimes seen as the roman empire. And thus for the last 2000 years we have been living in the Roman Empire.

Jason R. said...

When I think of a Holy Roman Empire I consider it likely as distinct from the Catholic Church, but working hand-in-glove with the Church as it once did, starting with Charlemagne which lands he held dominion over included modern day France, the Low Countries and most of Germany (Francia, the Kingdom of the Franks, was huge, and he went on to conquer N. Italy as well).

So not as in a future president of the EU, but someone coronated by the pope officially as "Emperor of the Romans" (as Charlemagne was by Pope Leo III Dec. 25th, 800 in Rome), and someone with a legitimate claim by bloodline to the same historical lands as well, the Church takes these bloodlines still very seriously, and monarchies in Europe and elsewhere generally. The opposition may be muted publicly now, but republics I believe aren't seen favourably compared to the old monarchies by the Church (I might be wrong there, but that's my impression), or else a corporatist form of government with a constitutional monarchy.

Arguably the last claimant to what was left of the Holy Roman Empire was Blessed Charles (Karl) of Austria-Hungary before the Austro-Hungarian Empire was abolished by the Treaty of Versailles. As a lot of folks have written about concerning the GM, they expect that he will come from the Hapsburg line because of this, but when looking at claimants to different vacant/abolished thrones in Europe, and especially regarding the UK, too, all those prophecies of the GM from different sources seem to point to the person, or one of their descendents, that I mentioned above.

The confluence of different legitimate claims to so many of the crucial thrones of Europe was pretty astounding the more I looked into it, it just seems to check all the boxes as the legitimate heir as the Church would view, as well as Catholic prophecies. I could be completely off, but the evidence is hard to ignore. Part of me is certainly in no rush for war and upheaval to come... but then I think of all the lost souls in atheistic Europe that could be being lost every day, and our modern-day Slaughter of the Innocents, and then I think the end of the Minor Apostasy can't end soon enough, no matter the turmoil that needs to occur to end it all.

Jason;

WELCOME!
When you add to the soup it tastes better!
My description of the Revived Empire is a reference to Daniels writing of the future world dominating empires. He states Rome will rise but then fall. THEN REVIVE TO POWER. I think Charlemagne is reference and then Nepolean tries to reunite The Kingdom. But what I alluded to is the land title itself. Prophetically I propose that the 1957 formation of the Euro common market was the start to the 1998 European States with a president is the fulfulment of Daniel.!!
And will aomehow become the Last world power.

That is why I say we are living it!
TO me the fact the ISrael is still here and has become a nation again and now includes Jeruselem is the most visual proof of God we have.

Chris


So that is why I say something wil happen to the USA

Lastly I do not propose the present unification is the power today, but the future will bring this about.

Chris

JMC said...

Others have made the same point about the formation of the common market in 1957, because it's well known that a united Europe was the goal from the very beginning.
.
My views about this have changed a bit. The whole "one world government" thing, I still believe is a terrible concept, but I now understand, from the words of Our Lord Himself as recorded in Scripture, that this MUST happen. We can fight against it until we're blue in the face, but we won't be able to stop it, because it's God's Will. As was pointed out in a video someone here linked to last week, on the secular level, the people themselves will demand it, not knowing what they're letting themselves in for...and perhaps not caring, just so long as it eliminates things like borders.
.
As of right now, I agree with those researchers in the video that we're in the stage where we hear of "wars and rumors of wars" that Our Lord spoke of in the Olivet Discourse. If anyone doubted we're in the End Times, there's the proof right there.

Jason R. said...

Thanks Chris, it's nice to feel welcomed (and right back at you as well!). I for sure agree, the Antichrist will rule over a revived Roman Empire, but as like in Emmett's book, that maybe will occur after a legit and holy Holy Roman Emperor in the form of the Great Monarch appears first in Europe's time of greatest need, whether by a joint invasion by Russia and an alliance of Islamic nations, or Islamic nations and a 5th column of Islamists already living in Europe, I'm not sure exactly.

But what you wrote made something occur to me, particularly because many Evangelical literature focuses on the renewed Roman Empire part so much while missing the really important "tell" of the Antichrist, that he'll be accepted by Israel as Moschiach ben Devid, the long awaited Messiah, ruling over the world from the 3rd Temple in Jerusalem (I know many people take that figuratively, but I think it will be literal). But things like the "Left Behind" series, popular culture like with the Omen movies, they kind of leave that crucial part out of the Antichrist being Jewish, from the tribe of Dan I think from some scriptural reference, The Late Great Planet Earth, too.

Which made something just occur to me... will non-Catholic Christians, or even Catholics that have never heard of the prophecies of the Great Monarch and Angelic Shepherd to come, possibly mistake the GM as being the Antichrist, and the Angelic Shepherd being the False Prophet, rather than as being the Two Witnesses as Emmett postulates and makes a great deal of sense to me?

With Evangelical literature around the Antichrist not seeming to give the entire picture, and how even the vast, vast majority of faithful Catholics never even having heard of the Great Monarch or Angelic Shepherd, I could very much see how they could be misidentified when they do arrive, especially if the prophecies that speak of them ultimately converting all of the Islamic world back to Catholicism (and I write back because like it the writing of Hilaire Belloc in "The Great Heresies, an awesome read btw, and they have it for free on the EWTN website, Islam is rightly seen as a Catholic heresy rather than a completely separate religion, thought that may sound a bit daft before reading the book).

In any case, I very much agree that since 1948 the clock is definitely ticking down. Though all prophecy and events are conditional, why I think Jesus said only the Father knows the hour, I wouldn't be shocked if these events all occur within our lifetime, or maybe my children's. And just to say Chris, especially because I know how it feels (obviously, lol), don't you ever worry one second about sharing too much, or what anyone else ever thinks of you in general. I love your intellect, your dedication to sharing knowledge with others out of such a good place of caring about them, and just love you as a brother in Christ. You're a great fellow, and it hurts me to see someone trying to drag you down whatever the motivation may be... I've learned an incredible amount from your links, I check out every one of them, and even though some I don't agree with, I very much appreciate that effort, and I'm always willing to give any theory or bit of information consideration.

I'm glad you addressed me, too, in that I was wondering about something you posted up above and almost forgot to ask. I know if I searched for it I'd find it eventually, but with Russia and Iran being increasingly chummy, I know Iran is synonymous with Persia, but how would Russia be referenced in scripture? Or is that from a private revelation, their alliance (or maybe both)?

On the Great Monarch/Angelic Shepherd, has it ever occurred to anyone else here that they may be misidentified when they appear by certain Christian groups as the Antichrist/False Prophet?

Jason R. said...

p.s. I had an auntie that was very much up on all things Catholic prophecy wise, and always visiting different sites of alleged apparitions (maybe too much so, as she for short periods believed in ones that weren't good, like Bayside, etc.), and I was a wee one still, but I remember her mentioning that Napoleon, as well as Hitler, were potential Antichrists, or perhaps it was that they saw themselves as potentially being the Antichrist and many of their actions were driven by that belief. I don't know if she got that from somewhere, or it was just her own thoughts, but you mentioning Napoleon in that context jogged me memory of it.

Jason R. said...

p.p.s. I always do this, argh, here's a link to "The Great Heresies", it's really interesting, especially as you can see stirrings of ancient heresies rearing their heads a bit even in our modern age:

https://www.ewtn.com/catholicism/library/great-heresies-3103

Belloc's writing in general, and he was insanely prolific, and pretty fascinating... just looking at the titles of his works in his Wikipedia page gives a sense of how relevant they ar to our times (reading "The Crusades: the World's Debate" was a big eye-opener for me). He's been accused of being anti-Semitic, a fascist, is a bit of a darling I've been told at least to Sedevacantists though I wasn't given any justification for that... I think you might like his stuff Chris.

Thanks, Jason I will find and watch your recommendations.
First may I say, needlessly I am sure, follow Emmett's deductions.
I, like you , have a background of religious prophecy books at home, read and discussed, at a young age. and they have produced a lifetime of interest in our topic. ( Good or Bad)??
As for the Russian association, I it is the referenced Daniel info, "from the North" and I am sure you are familiar with the rest.
I have read several arguments regarding the true people referenced in this point, but the discussion always to return to Josephus,Antiquities, XI, V, 2.
In it, he places them as a prime contender. Recently,I have seen and read arguments for Turkey being the primary participant. Who knows
As to your idea of Israel accepting the Antichrist, I suppose we can use the idea that they,Israel, were /are, awaiting their perceived materialistic leader, the messiah, to lead them to the treasures of this world. I cannot recall at this point where I read this but, he, the antichrist can be deduced to be from Spain! Likely the leader of this Union we reference. The little horn! I recall reading the tribe of Dan idea.
I will have to get Emmett's book of the shelf and reread these areas.
My memory fails me sometimes.
And as a late addition here, I am reading of Israel's latest gas and oil findings.
Momentous and VERY LARGE!!

This is where your fundamentalist reference jumps in. They are coming to enjoy the spoils of Israel. It is difficult to not gain some insight from the literal interpretations of our Bible.
oh well. onward.
We have chosen an interesting watchmans position

Just saw this one i'll just post the site
https://www.unsealed.org/2020/01/the-deal-of-century-aftermath-what.html

To reinforce how quickly this is happening, Netanyahu had originally scheduled an Israeli cabinet vote this Sunday, February 2nd, to annex the territory (source), though this has been postponed for several weeks until the Attorney General of Israel weighs in.

Interestingly, this current peace plan effort began during the August 21, 2017 Great American Solar Eclipse, which occurred 33 days before the Revelation 12 Sign on 9/23. By the end of this week we will have witnessed the peace plan reveal, USMCA ratification, Brexit, and the emergency Arab League summit. The following day, Sunday, will occur on the 33rd day of 2020, and since this is a leap year, 333 days will remain in the year after the vote. It comes 19,233 days after Israel recaptured Jerusalem on June 7, 1967. Israel's current archenemy Iran was named "Iran" exactly 77 years, 77 months, 77 weeks, and 77 days before this upcoming Sunday's annexation vote (December 27, 1934). 7 years, 7 months, 7 weeks, and 7 days before the vote, Iran's chief ally Vladimir Putin was sworn in for his third term.

Now get this, this past weekend we got confirmation that the peace deal would be revealed, and Benjamin Netanyahu and Benny Gantz both left Israel for the United States. From the Great American Solar Eclipse to Saturday, January 25, 2020, was 888 days exactly. From the Jewish Nation-State Law to January 25th was 555 days exactly. The date itself—1/25—is a pointer to Revelation 12:5 in which the corporate male child, the Church, is soon born into Heaven. To top that off, the country presenting the deal, the

Jason,

found this;

Who Are Meshech and Tubal?

Ezekiel 38:2 reads, “Son of man, set your face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshechand Tubal and prophesy against him.” Meshech and Tubal, along with their descendants, have been found together throughout history. The Bible speaks of them as allies dwelling in proximity to one another. Assyrian inscriptions speak of both peoples, and they are even found listed together in Greek histories.

Beginning with Assyrian records, Meshech appears as Musku,Muski or Mushki, and Tubal as Tabal or Tabali, according to the International Standard Bible Encyclopedia.

Musku is related to the Russian spelling of Moscow, which is Moskva. Even the capital city of Russia, through which the Moskva River flows, helps identify the nation as a participant in the Ezekiel 38 prophecy.

A thorough look into Ezekiel 38 confirms that the history provided by Assyrian inscriptions, Herodotus, Strabo and Pliny is accurate. Ezekiel 38 states that the descendants of Meshech and Tubal would be in and around “the land of Magog.”

This term refers to the vast Eurasian continent starting at the Russian steppe and extending all the way to the Pacific. We have covered in a previous article that Gog and Magog primarily refers to modern-day China (December 2010).

However, the Eurasian continent is dominated by one other power, just as Ezekiel 38 said it would! Any map will show you that power is Russia. The people who dwell in this “land of Magog” are dominated by either Russia or China.

There is yet another source which confirms that the Mark is placed ON, not IN, the hand or forehead:

b. Strong's Concordance

The Greek word for "mark" in these verses is charagma. Strong's Concordance defines this word as a mark that is stamped, branded, imprinted or engraved on the individual's forehead or hand, rather than implanted in the skin.

charagma {khar'-ag-mah} from the same as ; TDNT -

AV - mark 8, graven 1; 9

1) a stamp, an imprinted mark
1a) of the mark stamped on the forehead or the right hand as the badge of the followers of the Antichrist
1b) the mark branded upon horses
2) thing carved, sculpture, graven work
2a) of idolatrous image

Jason R. said...

Thanks for getting all that extra information about that identification of Eurasia as referred to in Ezekiel, that seems like there is a connection there. I wonder how the different populations that have come and gone would come into play, the many waves of those groups that periodically invaded Europe starting with the Scythians, Huns, Avars, and Turkic groups like the Khazars, to modern Russians that are I think descended from Vikings from Scandinavia... but I suppose all these group with admixtures to the Eastern Slavic peoples. Was Ezekiel do you figure speaking of that group that would occupy the region in the future, like, at the time of whatever prophecy was to be fulfilled, or the region generally no matter who lived there at the time?

With the mark being best translated and understood to mean an actual visual imprint makes sense to me, especially thinking about that IPv6 number that I mentioned back up there. An IPv6 number is of the format 0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000 using hexadecimal numbers, so 0123456789abcdef, showing just how almost infinite for any practical purposes IPv6 numbers are, it would be impossible to ever run out of them, around 3.4×10^38 unique numbers (!), and it would fit perfectly with those QR codes that are increasingly everywhere and on everything you see, ubiquitous, so why not encoded on a head or forehead to represent an IPv6 number? Simple! And Quick Response Codes, that every smartphone can already scan and instantly translate into whatever that QR code represents, whether an ID on a passport to a can of peas at the grocery store, can represent 4,296 characters with a full set of alphanumeric, so 0-9, A-Z, so easily can represent any possible IPv6 number. It doesn't seem a big jump to think of those QR codes to be on a person themselves the way people are so used already to seeing them on everything else, and from a perfectly secular viewpoint, marrying it with an IPv6 number, even a non-visible except to UV light, imprint at birth to everyone born on Earth, it makes so much sense for streamlining all things from the financial to fighting illicit transactions, eliminating ID theft, etc.

I had to look this up, QR codes were inventing in 1994, which is when I remember first using Mosaic, the first graphical web-browser that I'm sure a few people will remember before IE and Netscape Navigator came out (anyone remember Trumpet Winsock? I hadn't thought of that in forever), which is a kind of strange coincidence because the two things had nothing to do with each other, but funny how the WWW and QR codes have become so intertwined. I can't remember if Emmett mentioned anything else special about 1994 in his book, I'll have to get it back from my sister (I'm always pushing it on fellow Catholics to read, most of them think I've joined some sort of Apocalyptic Doom Cult if I just try to describe it, lol).

I know there is a lot of suspicion about those RFID chips, but a QR code tattoo, especially a non-visible one except to scanners, and with how video monitoring and surveillance is becoming more and more commonplace and more accepted by society, RFID chips might not really even be needed and a QR code, or something like it, some sort of scatter pattern representing a number, is was less invasive and less unappealing I'd think to the average random person. It feels like so much has changed since the Internet really took off in the mid-90s that all the necessary tech exists, and is pretty much in place, for the Beast system to be implemented, and people would be lining up for it like a new iPhone release unfortunately.

@Bridget:

England is the dowry of Blessed Virgin Mary, since King Richard II, in a sovereign act, promised Her his kingdom in this form of giving, if She would help him to subdue the general revolt of peasantry. He most likely submitted this offer on June 13, 1381, the solemnity of Corpus Christi (& the commemoration of Saint Anthony of Padua). The Holy Virgin arranged for this urgent state matter at an express speed, following the thoughts of the ruler, and in this way this peculiar dowry* was legally taken over by Her.
A dowry by its nature can be consumed when the bride marries. Can the Virgin Mary marry again? Yes, She can: Saint Hermann Joseph, O.Praem., the German mystic, he is the crown proof. However, his death (April 4, 1241) put an end to their mystical marriage and we are again dealing with the Virgin Maid Mary. That is why King Richard II could offer Her a dowry, and She could receive this gift.
And so we come to modern times, when the events described in the Revelation to John are unfolding before our very eyes. In this comprehensive prophecy, the Woman Clothed in the Sun and her Son-Man play a key role. The Church's tradition rightly equates the Woman with Virgin Mary. In contrast, the identification of the Son-Man as Jesus Christ creates a significant problem, because stressing that the son is a man only makes sense if her son is also her man, that is, her consort. The Blessed Virgin passed away from this world as a maid and widow, and now at the end of time She marries one of her sons whom She gave birth to as our Mother Holy Church. The son-man from the Apocalypse is her spouse and, as such, identical with the Paraclete. It is only in this perspective that salvation history of human race reveals all its divine end. The Paraclete and the Woman Clothed in the Sun after a period of persecution** of the Church will bring a small remnant of faithful Christians to the Kingdom of God on earth.
A characteristic thing: Pius XII reminded the Church of the person of Saint Herman Joseph, confirming his worship on August 11, 1958. By this act Pope pointed out, unaware, a pair of mystics contemporary to St. Hermann of Steinfeld: St. Clara (+11 August 1253) and St. Francis (+3 October 1226).
Premonstratensians commemorate St. Hermann on May 24, means on the feast of Our Lady, Help of Christians, which again shows that the Paraclete, Spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary was given to faithful as their Helper. The Paraclete is not the Holy Spirit, but he is full of the Holy Spirit, just like his Virgin Spouse Mary the Maid.
The last remark: After the birth of the Lord Jesus, Herod - inspired by Satan – killed all boys under the age of 2 years in Bethlehem's neighborhood to kill Jesus Christ the King. In the last century unborn children are murdered on a mass scale - why? Satan urges infanticide not only to win souls for himself, but also to hunt down Him, who will be known as the Son-Man of the apocalyptic Woman, Her Consort, the second Comforter.

*Saint Thomas More, Lord High Chancellor of England, not only cares about the condition of the Holy Virgin's dowry, but even multiplies it. All states and peoples belonging to the British Commonwealth also form part of this estate. Queen Elizabeth the Second might one day ask: “And whence is this to me, that the Mother of my Lord should come to me?” [Luke 1, 43] She would hear in response: "For my dowry, madam!" and confused Englishmen these words from the Paraclete's mouth: "I am your captain, follow me!"

As for the difference between Evangelical views of the Last Days and the Catholic view, all the Evangelicals I've ever met believe in a LITERAL return of two great Hebrew prophets (Isaiah and... I can't remember who they claim the other prophet is supposed to be. Maybe Ezekiel, but I can't swear to it.)

It's best to stay away from Strong's Concordance in cases like this. Strong's is a VERY Protestant document. In fact, it leaves out some critical words. One in particular that I recall was in the Bread of Life Discourse, where the Greek word used was to chew or gnaw at the Bread Christ spoke of. It's completely missing, and takes a lot of the Catholic meaning away from John 6.

Anyway...

χάραγμα
(charagma)

From Arndt & Gingrich, A Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament.

1. A mark or stamp, engraved, etched, branded, cut, imprinted.
2. A brand on a horse
3. A stamp on a document
4. The impression on coins
5. In RV - of the mark of the Antichrist, which his adherents bear on hand or forehead.

It can also mean a thing formed by art., an image or representation.

The interlinear Bible translates it as, "Carve effect, emblem". Which kinda covers all the Ardnt & Gingrich meanings.

The Greek New Testament (4th Edition), defines it as, "Mark, stamp, image, representation". It cross references Acts 17:29.

Interestingly, St. Jerome used the Latin word, "Caracter" in the divinely inspired Vulgate. The Douay-Rheims Bible translated that as, "character" in English. I've got four Latin dictionaries in my house (all secular) - including an old one from the 1930's - and none include "caracter"!

As best I can tell, the word "mark" was first used in the KJV translation, published in 1611, and roughly contemporary with the Douay-Rheims.

One reference goes back to Plutarch, where χάραγμα was used to indicate a mark signifying an undeniable bond.

Far more information that you'd bargained for, eh?

I don't think, given all the above, that an RFID type chip is out of the question. But I really suspect that whatever this "mark" might be, it will be far more subtle than we can even dream of right now.

Some fantastic points on the Roman Empire. However I think what may be overlooked in all of this is biblical references to the end of the age vs the end of the world. As Jason pointed out, the Roman Empire of today has been connected in society with Antichrist. It is likely to the dissolution of monarchies. Yet does the bible not state that Antichrist will have ten kings that rule along side him? There are hints and illusions in the scriptures to the world at some point returning to monarchy, something seemingly impossible today without factoring private revelations references to the end of the age.

The website William Whittaker's Words gives the meaning of "caracter" as "branded/impressed letter/mark/etc.; marking instrument; mark; character; style." Given the surrounding translations, my impression that "character" here is in the same sense as "mark," or as we often refer to a single letter as a "character." However, once again, here is the reference to a brand or "impression."
.
Whatever it turns out to be, I'm with Mark in that it's going to be something very subtle. It would have to be, to have any hope of fooling so many people who are actively watching out for it.

In other words there is sufficient cause in even the scriptures to believe that the kingdom of the Romans may return...A restored Roman Empire. I think the reason this is overlooked is due to societies imagery of a geopolitical Antichrist leading immediately to the heavenly Jerusalem. There is plenty of Biblical imagery to support this compared with private revelation.

That is...unless the world continues on after the end of the age itself.
