He notes two aspects of the sign of Jonah. The first is that Jonah is a type of Jesus' death and resurrection. Luke doesn't mention this aspect. DH says "In Mt the sign of Jonah is first and foremost life out of death after three days."<br /><br />The second aspect has to do with preaching repentance. Jonah tries to avoid the commission from God to preach repentance, but then he does do it. "In this context the sign of Jonah is that pagans repent at the preaching of a Jewish prophet.... [for] Luke this sign of Jonah was the repentance of the marginal (tax collectors, prostitutes, etc.) at Jesus' preaching."<br />Then he mentions the Queen of Sheba and how the Solomon typology relates to Jesus as teacher of wisdom. <br /><br />About binding the strong man, he says "For the idea of binding Satan and thus neutralizing his power, see Rev 20:2-3. The point is that Jesus has already bound up Satan, and his exorcisms should be understood as signs of the victory over Satan." He adds about Mt 12:28 "But if I cast out demons in the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God has arrived among you" that this saying of Jesus is "perhaps the clearest of the 'present' or 'realized' eschatological sayings in the Gospels."<br /><br />It's a lot to think about. I hope enough people will repent of abortion so that, like the people of Nineveh, they will turn to God and be spared the chastisement.<br /><br />Sr. Marianne Lorraine Trouvehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17195314713288191226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6767475475753279918.post-33814094929954939072013-03-11T17:19:49.133+00:002013-03-11T17:19:49.133+00:00Sorry, I should say for those who dont know, that ...Sorry, I should say for those who dont know, that Angelico Press published "All things Made New"<br />Thanks Laura!Rachmaninovhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11499478363503549408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6767475475753279918.post-39047941330709894372013-03-11T17:16:08.923+00:002013-03-11T17:16:08.923+00:00Yes,

Filled with that same faith, we beg you to protect all unborn children and their mothers from the scourge of abortion, and come to the aid of all threatened by the culture of death. Through your living presence in the Blessed Sacrament, enlighten the hearts of all abortion facility workers, and give them courage to conform their lives to your truth. Guide us to a deeper understanding of your love for us, and grant that we may have the grace to rely on you to provide for us, especially in our most helpless moments. May the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus in the Most Blessed Sacrament bring near to Him the hearts of all expectant mothers, that His Living Presence may grant them the courage to choose life for their unborn children.

Very much on target! Abortion is certainly an important part of this picture. It's no accident that it was legalized and became accepted precisely during the time of the great apostasy. <br /><br />And the three days is very much part of the Jonah connection. It took Jonah three days to cross Ninevah. And where the Bible translation says, "Forty days more and Ninevah will be destroyed..." a note in my Bible says that the Greek version says "Three days more..."<br /><br />Also, at the end of the book, God says he is concerned for Ninevah, where there are 120,000 people "who cannot tell their right hand from their left"--ie., the children! 3 x 40 = 120 x 1000<br /><br />In the state of Louisiana, recently a Catholic women's center was opened right nearby the state's largest abortion clinic, and is under the patronage of St. Clare, to fight abortion. <br /><br /><br /><br />http://stclarechapel.com/Sr. Marianne Lorraine Trouvehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17195314713288191226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6767475475753279918.post-33072739351816314882013-03-11T13:59:31.879+00:002013-03-11T13:59:31.879+00:00A commentary on secular tv here in Oz indicated Ro...A commentary on secular tv here in Oz indicated Romney's campaign took a nosedive when a couple of his key men expressed strong negative views on abortion just prior to the federal election and this could have been the clincher for Obama. One Catholic commentator said the US people had made up their mind on God (and life) and it was the end of a civilisation, that would tie in well to your comment of the 40 days (years).Jameyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04523915974208712573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6767475475753279918.post-84316141275086923972013-03-11T13:10:24.864+00:002013-03-11T13:10:24.864+00:00Sr. Lorraine,

This is beginning to look startling. I think abortion is once again being brought into the picture here. Earlier that year, in January 1999, Pope John Paul II made Our Lady of Guadalupe (which roughly translates as "she who crushes the head of the serpent") patroness of the Americas, and simulataneously, protectress of the unborn.<br />The key theme of Rev 12 is the "slaughter of the innocents":<br /><br />"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."<br />(Rev 12:1-4)<br /><br />And Rev 12 is a dramatisation of a solar eclipse, lunar eclipse and meteor shower - all of which occured around the turn of the millennium.<br />This makes me look back to the "sign of Jonah" connection. Upon emerging from the fish (which represents Christ?) after three days (of darkness?), Jonah is told by God to announce to Nineveh (the ruling world power) that it would be destroyed in "forty more days".<br />I think in these actions, God might be trying to tell us that America will be destroyed if it does not repeal its abortion laws. The frightening thing is that this year marks 40 years since Roe vs Wade and the legalisation of abortion in the USA.<br /><br />Emmett O'Reganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01043723932377194248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6767475475753279918.post-25056500766737917192013-03-11T09:23:24.006+00:002013-03-11T09:23:24.006+00:00Hi Stephen,

I just wanted to mention that I have had a book published several weeks ago called Heralds of the Second Coming: Our Lady, the Divine Mercy and the Popes of the Marian Era from Bl Pius IX to Benedict XVI. It has a very powerful Foreword by Cardinal Ivan Dias (who gave the famous apocalyptic homily as the Pope's legate in Lourdes in 2007) and is endorsed by bishops and professors of theology and mariology. The book details for the first time the prophetic teachings of these great popes and shows how there is a parallel prophetic message between the magisterium and private revelation. I hope you and all you readers will find it of great interest. It also has an Imprimatur from my local Bishop. The book is published by Angelico Press (Stratford Caldecott's All Things Made New) and is available here: http://www.amazon.com/Heralds-Second-Coming-Blessed-Benedict/dp/1621380157/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1362949968&sr=8-1&keywords=stephen+walford<br />It is also available at amazon.co.uk.<br />I hope it can help serve in some little way this discussion, especially at such a critical time for the Church and the World.<br />God Bless<br />Stephen Walford Rachmaninovhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11499478363503549408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6767475475753279918.post-61597615904383670602013-03-10T21:24:01.462+00:002013-03-10T21:24:01.462+00:00This is very interesting, Emmett!
Just to throw t...This is very interesting, Emmett!<br /><br />Just to throw this into the mix, I noticed the 1999 eclipse occurred on the feast of St. Clare, whose name, of course, means light. When her mother Ortolana was pregnant with her, she went to pray at the cathedral of San Ruffino in Assisi. While there before the crucifix, she heard the words, "You will bear a child who shall be a light for all the world." <br /><br />Pope Benedict said this of Clare in a general audience:<br />"Such episodes, like other miracles whose memory lives on, prompted Pope Alexander IV to canonize her in 1255, only two years after her death, outlining her eulogy in the Bull on the Canonization of St Clare. In it we read: "How powerful was the illumination of this light and how strong the brightness of this source of light. Truly this light was kept hidden in the cloistered life; and outside them shone with gleaming rays; Clare in fact lay hidden, but her life was revealed to all. Clare was silent, but her fame was shouted out" (FF, 3284). <br /><br />Maybe she might have some connection with the illumination of conscience that may be coming in the future?Sr. Marianne Lorraine Trouvehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17195314713288191226noreply@blogger.com
