He ordained this for us on the night before He was betrayed and died an ignominious death on the Cross.
I'm sorry, but 18 and 20-year-olds do NOT have faith "pushed" on them! Not in the general sense of the phrase, where parents raise their kids in a faith tradition and therefore are "pushing" their faith on their kids. Your niece and nephew are no longer kids; they are adults, and if she REALLY wanted them to "find their own path" then she would not be objecting to the religious content of the books you give them. You should call her out: she wants her kids to find their own path, so long as that path does not lead them to Christianity or even (gasp) Catholicism. EDIT: Perhaps this is something you can talk about with your niece and nephew privately. You understand their mother wants them to "find their own path"; but it's never wise to strike out in unknown territory without having a guide or even some maps. You'd just like to provide some trail markers to help them avoid some of the paths that others before them had tried and found either unsatisfying or even downright dangerous.
Padraig, Some people including the CP think that the virus will spread greatly in China due to these protests. If that happens I wonder if a global lockdown will occur again. I think that there is a seer who predicted this but I can’t remember who. go to @15minute mark in this next one to see Chinese drones spraying the streets with what idk. Tucker has a good video about this too. Tucker mentions the Chinese people who were trapped in their apartment because of the lockdowns and were burned to death. May they RIP.
Carol, the Blessed Mother showed Fr Blount the world wrapped in black cloth three separate times on the same day, outside of a church.
does this mean that the conclusion of the Synod on Synodality will be postponed again? Pope Francis created a new stage for 2024 that is an extension of the universal stage of 2023, perhaps this was a providential attitude?
Thank you HH. I think that you are correct it was probably Father Blount but I think that the 3rd time that it was a home of friend that it happened to. I do also remember another seer specifically speaking of another plague coming soon. There is the threat of the bird flu also, ugh. I have no idea but I thought that all of the preliminaries were completed already. Now, the working document goes under review by those appointed to do that job. You can correct me if I’m wrong about this because I’m really not at all certain especially since this synod is so different then past synods.
there will be a continental stage between January and March 2023 in which documents collected from various episcopal conferences will be analyzed; by coincidence it ends in the same month as the conclusion of the heretical German synod.
Well Carol I don't think, especially in the light of Catholic Prophecy that all that is happening is planned and controlled at the Highest Levels. I think especially here of the Locutions of the late Father Stephen Gobbi. But also the Revelation of Our Lady of All Nations (Church Approved; Amsterdam Holland. ) Our Lady of All Nations are very specific about future events and so far have a 100% hit rate. Astonishing. Our Lady of All Nations said that there would be multiple bio events with virus's and germs so I suppose another lab created virus from China is very much on the cards. If you ever meet someone who does not believe in Prophecy point them in the direction of Our Lady of All Nations and it will certainly give them something to chew on for a while. https://missiomagazine.com/messages-war-peace-lady-nations/ Man’s Poor Prediction Record We all know that we are unable to predict the course of our lives. And God often takes us into territories we seldom, if ever, expect. If someone had told me during my first visit to the Lady of All Nations Chapel, for example, that in three years time I was to do considerable research and writing on the Amsterdam messages and be invited to speak to a large, international, and beautiful audience, I would have said: “U bent gek!” (“You are crazy!”). And if predicting the course of our own lives is difficult, the prediction of the fate of peoples and nation-states is nearly impossible. Man does an abysmal job, for example, in predicting the outbreak of wars and the collapse of regimes. The Lady of All Nations, on the other hand, used her words and prophecies to Ida Peerdeman—prophecies of an even more extensive nature than those she gave to the three seers at Fatima—to prove the authenticity of her appearances at Amsterdam. The Lady said to Ida for all of those who were asking for miracles or signs to prove the authenticity of the Amsterdam apparitions: “The Lady says to all of them: my signs are in my words. You of little faith! You are like a child insisting upon fireworks, while you do not see the true light and the true fire.”1 To a remarkable degree, the Lady of All Nations has foretold of major events in international politics. This no doubt was a factor which—following an initial prohibition of the veneration of the Lady of All Nations in the 1970s—contributed to the 1996 declaration of Bishop H. Bomers, together with his then-auxiliary bishop Jozef Marianus Punt, allowing the public veneration of the Blessed Virgin Mary under the title of “The Lady of All Nations,” with permission of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. This statement was followed by Bishop Jozef Marianus Punt’s courageous letter of May, 31, 2002, which publicly pronounced his determination: “I have come to the conclusion that the apparitions of the Lady of All Nations in Amsterdam have a supernatural origin.” The Bishop pointed out that, unlike Holy Scripture, of which the Gospels are the last public revelations of the Catholic faith, Catholics are not obliged to believe private revelations, although authentic ones may help the faithful understand the times and live the Gospel more faithfully.2 .
Prophecies Unfolding Today Prophecies from Amsterdam appear to be coming to fruition in the Middle East today as we speak. Ida had a vision of conflict embroiling the Middle East: “All at once I see Cairo clearly, and I get a strange feeling about it. Then I see various Eastern peoples: Persians, Arabs and so on. The Lady says, ‘The world is, so to speak, going to be torn in two.’ Now I see the world laying before me and in it a great crack appearing, a break winding right over the world. Heavy clouds are hanging over it, and I feel great sorrow and misery. I hear the Lady say, ‘Great sorrow and misery will come.’”26 The uprisings against the Egyptian government which began in early 2011 might be the unfolding of the Lady’s prophecy about Cairo to Ida in 1947. Egypt had been ruled with an iron fist by President Hosni Mubarak, a former air force general, since the assassination of his predecessor Anwar Sadat at the hands of Islamists within the ranks of his own military who resented Sadat’s peace treaty with Israel signed in 1979. For decades, frustration built up among the demographic bulge of educated Egyptian youth with access to Internet over the lack of political freedoms, government stagnation, vast corruption, and no prospects for gainful employment and even marriage and the starting of their own families. This swell of frustrations boiled over into open revolt against the regime in Cairo, and hundreds of thousands hit to the streets for weeks to demand Mubarak’s resignation. The revolution was triggered by a frustrated university-educated young man in neighboring Tunisia who immolated himself in despair over his plight and in protest against the Tunisian government, similarly riddled with the injustices of the Egyptian government. That act sparked a revolt which led to the downfall of the Tunisian regime in a matter of weeks and emboldened the Egyptian population to follow suit against its government.27 The Egyptian revolution could be a harbinger of democracy and representative government. Or it might be the opening vista for political chaos and the eventual emergence of a militant Islamic regime in Cairo. The Egyptian revolution is a watershed historical event in the Middle East and world politics, and rivals in significance to that of the 1979 Iranian revolution. Egypt is the center of the Arab Muslim world and alone has some 85 million people. The Middle East, which includes North Africa, the Levant, and the Persian Gulf, has experienced rapid population growth, from 60 million in the 1930s to 415 million by 2006. In some of these countries, more than fifty percent of the population is under the age of 25.28 With such a demographic mass present in Egypt, it would not be an exaggeration to say that as Egypt goes, so does the rest of the Arab Middle East. The huge surge in young Arab refugees from Egypt, northern Africa, and the Middle East to Europe due to political and economic instabilities, moreover, will likely have a dramatic impact on European societies and, no doubt, exacerbate tensions between new arrivals and their hosts. It is noteworthy that Ida specifically mentioned “Persians” in her vision of Cairo. Persians are from Iran, which borders the Persian Gulf. They are linguistically and ethnically distinct from Arabs: they speak Farsi rather than Arabic. The Persians and Arabs, moreover, have been historic rivals in the struggle for power and influence in the Middle East. Iran’s revolution in 1979, which replaced a monarchy with the world’s first Islamic clerical regime that united Islam and politics, was a regional convulsion whose legacies still plague international politics. The Islamic republic of Iran threatens to drive its Shia Islamic power into power vacuums throughout the Middle East. Now, on the other side of the Middle East, Egypt, along with Saudi Arabia, is embroiled in a struggle over the future and welfare of the Sunni side of Islam. Perhaps the Lady of All Nations warned Ida that the Islamic world would be torn apart by Arab Sunni and Iran Shia competitions, as well as the Muslim world’s competition and conflict with the once Christian Western world. The Lady of All Nations also warned of even more conflict in the Middle East to come. As Ida described a vision, “Now I see a round dome. I am given to understand: that is a dome of Jerusalem. I hear now, ‘In and around Jerusalem heavy battles will be waged.’”29 The dome which Ida saw is no doubt the Dome of the Rock which is a domineering and captivating feature of Jerusalem’s skyline, and the flashpoint of Israeli and Arab and Palestinian tensions. Was the Lady describing the battle of the Israeli war of independence that was then underway from November 1947 to June 1948? Or was the Lady prophesying about the 1967 Israeli-Arab war in which Israeli forces captured Jerusalem from Jordanian forces? Or is she prophesying about Israeli battles against Palestinians, Arab states, or even Iran in a future war in and around Jerusalem? An eruption of a future bout of warfare over Jerusalem might have been in the Lady’s warning. The Israelis and the Palestinians both lay claims to Jerusalem as their capital. But Israel controls the city, and the Palestinians do not yet have a formal state. Negotiations between the belligerents, moreover, are making no progress. Meanwhile, the militant Islamic wing of the Palestinian community, the Hamas, is gaining political and military strength and could one day move the Palestinian community to take up arms to wage war for Jerusalem. Neighboring Lebanon, too, harbors the Iranian-backed Shia militia called Hezbollah, which could join forces with Hamas in operations against Israeli forces in the political-military-religious struggle for control of Jerusalem. The old city of Jerusalem today is still surrounded by a wall with gates. The Lady might have been alluding to such a scenario when she warned Ida, “The gates are opening. The Eastern peoples are holding their hands before their faces in Jerusalem. They will wail over their city.”30
I believe it will EVENTUALLY result in a democratic and representative government. I refer you to the last paragraph of a reply I posted back on Nov. 21 in the "Is the End of the Orthodox Schism finally in sight after 1000 years?" thread, where I bring up the War of Psalm 83. (See my post in the "Third Temple" thread for more info on the War of Psalm 83.) The long and short of it is that in Psalm 83, all of the traditional enemies of Israel are listed as participating EXCEPT FOR EGYPT, which would literally be a first for Biblical history. This could happen because of natural disasters (major flooding when the Aswan Dam cracks, for example) or political upheaval, or because Egypt decides to honor her peace treaty with Israel. Not just rivals, but enemies. Saudi Arabia is the home of Sunni Islam; Iran is the home to Shia Islam. The division is a result of a conflict over which branch of Muhammad's family line would lead Islam after his death. Sunni is by far the largest branch of Islam worldwide; and is the branch of Islam which controls Mecca and the Hajj (the pilgrimage to Mecca that every Muslim is to take once in their lives). Shia is centered mostly around Iran and its neighbors. Shia, however, has been growing in influence, because for the past few decades, Iran has been giving free university tuition to students coming from primarily Sunni nations, especially Syria. This means that in addition to a university education, these students are also getting a heavy dose of Shia theology, which they will carry with them when they return home. Shia is also the source of the Twelver movement. This refers to the 12th Imam, or the 12th leader of Shia Islam (and therefore ALL Islam). Tradition is that the 12th Imam, for his own protection, was taken by Allah and is being held "in occultation", i.e., hidden from the rest of the world. When the time comes, he will be revealed to the world, after Jesus (Issa) swears to follow him, and after defeating the world will lead it in an era of peace, etc. All descriptions of the 12th Imam in Shia texts bears a strong resemblance to the descriptions of the Antichrist in Christian traditions. When I say "not just rivals, but enemies", I mean that they will literally work with their other enemies to defeat the other's activities. When you read about growing cooperation between Saudi Arabia and Israel, it is because such cooperation works directly against Iranian (and therefore Shia) interests. In particular, Saudi Arabia is concerned about the growing influence and power of Hamas in the region (discussed below). Hamas gets all of its financial and material (read: weapons) support from Tehran. This means Hamas is a serious terrorist threat not only to Israel but to Saudi Arabia. If Hamas is successful in overthrowing (or at least controlling) the ruling House of Saud, then they also would control the administration of Mecca and therefore would be the leading branch of Islam in the world. Ever since the Hamas takeover of the Gaza Strip in 2007 (where Hamas -- Iranian Shia -- people would toss Fatah -- Arab Sunni -- administrators off the tops of the buildings to see how high they would bounce), Saudi Arabia and Egypt have viewed Hamas as existential threats. It's interesting to note that the Hagarites (Ps 83:7) in addition to being east of Ammon and Moab also were in the eastern part of Saudi Arabia, which is where most Shiites in Saudi Arabia are located. So we can see how a great many people from that part of Saudi Arabia would join in the fight against Israel without official Saudi approval. Thus both Egypt and Saudi Arabia are not listed as belligerents against Israel in Ps 83. This in itself would lead to the Islamic world being torn apart with one part (Shia, Iran) in favor of the war fighting against the other part (Sunni, Saudi Arabia) who oppose the war. This might especially take to the streets in those areas such as in Paris or in France in general where there are a mix of Islamic groups. Yes to all. See my previous postings on the War of Psalm 83 and the War of Gog and Magog.
I’ve always believed in these apparitions. Perhaps the Vatican will one day believe in them too. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/...-apparitions-connected-to-lady-of-all-nations
I am not sure if the current Vatican Regime even believe in God. I wen to Amsterdam to visit the site a few years ago and a wonderful thing happened. By accident I had booked into a Hostel in the Red Light District and wound up talking to a few Prostitutes and held out a Rosary to the ladies encouraging them to say it. This resulted in them laughing so hard they actually bent over, I thought maybe they were even going to fall over they were laughing so hard at me. This depressed me a little but the next day I called into the large, very beautiful and very empty Catholic Church in the middle of the city. I prayed in front of Our Lady's statue and begged her for a soul of a sinner to cheer me up after bombing with the ladies of the night. On the way out I met an elderly gentleman entering. We fell into conversation, he had not been near a Church for over 40 years but on passing he felt a sudden inexplicable urge to go into pay a visit. So that cheered me right back up again.
Amsterdam is mostly Protestant, the Catholics of the south Netherlands call Amsterdam, 'Babylon'; with good reason. But St Nicholas's is gorgeous. I guess they should call it Santy Claus's Church.
It would be fairer to say that there is a battle about it going on in the Church. I love this apparition also, let us not forget that the sculpture of Our Lady that cried 101 tears in Akita came from Amsterdam. A strong sign from Heaven. One of the important things given to the Church through that apparition was a prayer of effusion of the Holy Spirit against degeneration, disaster and war. I've said before that the translation of the word degeneration in other languages is corruption which is the better word especially when you see the world today. This was another attempt by Our Lady to spare us the chastisements and give us God's Mercy instead of Justice but apparently people prefer justice. Oh well... Note: I've edited my post above, changing the word calamities to degeneration because that is the word used in English.
