1 John 2:18-27 18 "Dear children, this is the last hour; and as you have heard that the antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come. This is how we know it is the last hour. 19 They went out from us, but they did not really belong to us. For if they had belonged to us, they would have remained with us; but their going showed that none of them belonged to us. 20 But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and all of you know the truth. 21 I do not write to you because you do not know the truth, but because you do know it and because no lie comes from the truth. 22 Who is the liar? It is whoever denies that Jesus is the Christ. Such a person is the antichrist—denying the Father and the Son. 23 No one who denies the Son has the Father; whoever acknowledges the Son has the Father also. 24 As for you, see that what you have heard from the beginning remains in you. If it does, you also will remain in the Son and in the Father. 25 And this is what he promised us—eternal life. 26 I am writing these things to you about those who are trying to lead you astray. 27 As for you, the anointing you received from him remains in you, and you do not need anyone to teach you. But as his anointing teaches you about all things and as that anointing is real, not counterfeit—just as it has taught you, remain in him." I find it interesting that Saint John says that the faithful of his time, his spiritual children, heard about the arrival of the antichrist; however, the only time the word antichrist is mentioned in the Bible is precisely in this passage, which was written before the revelation that the apostle had on the island of Patmos. In this sense, it seems to me that the word antichrist was mentioned previously within a hidden tradition of the first Christians, perhaps even in the homilies given by the apostles in the early church, so this seems to indicate that the first Christians already awaited the imminent coming of the antichrist in the same way many Christians do today. However, the beloved disciple expands the concept of antichrist to describe anyone who denies the Father and the Son.
At the Ascension, the Angel said that Jesus would come back in the same way He ascended. He did not say when. I do agree that the early Christians looked for the imminent return of Jesus.
josephite, Forgive me for chopping up your long post, but the WHO treaty you highlight is a reality and the USA and many other UN nations have signed on already. This means that at this point the USA agrees to abide by upcoming WHO regulations regarding vaccinations and other medical mandates. We live at a time when international elites are quietly consolidating their power in multiple spheres, whether nationally or in liberal USA states such as California, New York, and Oregon. The families of my and Geralyn's children are planning our next reunion in the fall of 2025, but to tell you the truth, events that are soon to occur might scrub that biannual gathering. Lord have Mercy!
Yes Terry , Your guess is as good as mine. Many of these UN treaties and regulations scenarios proposed by unelected organisations have already been being signed by multiple Governments. The latest bills proposed by this "animal farm" are yet to be signed. This means we have a slithering of Hope in the political systems of the world. The US seems to be mankind's hope! I know Australia will cave no matter who is is in control. This slithering miniscule piece of secular hope may very well be destroyed in May this year for the majority of Western nations. And it will all be done under the guise of a utopian mask. Many comfortable, lazy, slothful, greedy, comfort loving Christians, Monotheists, Atheists and Pagans alike will accept the antichrist paradigm to the determent of our world under Christ the King. The world will suffer greatly. Christians will suffer. Our Lady of Perpetual Help keep us all under Thy mantle. there may we live and die. Amen.
The US mankind's hope? Are you serious? I can't blame you if you are. I once thought along the same lines but have had a change of heart as their evil is being revealed now. They are the source of many wars and rumours of wars, destabilising countries on a whim to protect their hegemony even to sponsoring Islamic terrorism. They also control the UN and many international agencies and are most likely the power behind the WEF. That Communist China may well rival or replace them is certainly no comfort but the difference between demonic power founded in Freemasonry (the USA which was never fully converted) and one founded in atheism (China) makes little or no difference to believing Catholics and their duty to spread the Gospel to all nations. The world will certainly suffer and won't be saved by any earthly power. Our only hope is mass repentance by the post-Christian West and renewed efforts to convert those who have yet to properly hear and receive the Gospel.
The great Catholic Mystic Maria Valtorta received messages that clearly say the Antichrist will be before the Period of Peace: 1943 NOTEBOOKS CHAPTER 104 http://www.valtortamaria.com/operaminore/quaderno/1/manoscritto/3/28-agosto-1943 "August 28, 1943 Jesus says: "Even in the Book of Revelation it seems that the periods are confused, but this is not the case. It would be better to say: they are reflected in future times with ever more grandiose aspects. Now we are at the period I call the precursors of the Antichrist. Then will come the period of the Antichrist who is the forerunner of Satan. This will be aided by the manifestations of Satan —the two beasts named in Revelation. It will be a worse time than the current one. Evil grows more and more. Once the Antichrist has been vanquished, the period of peace will come to give time to men, struck by the wonder of the seven plagues and the fall of Babylon, to gather under my sign..."
I only read the first part of the text on the video. I didn't read past the part about the Anti-Christ being a false prophet and a member of the Apostolic clergy. I think it is generally accepted that the False Prophet of Scripture will probably be a Bishop but the False Prophet and the Anti-Christ are not the same person.
It actually says in the Introduction that she says it's a “false prophecy, that is, the Antichrist is a false prophet. Rather, the Antichrist…is comparable to Judas Iscariot...Satan entered into Judas...after having been a shining star in my ranks”. I’ve been told by devote Catholics who read the writings, that it's the Cardinals who fill the highest ranks of Church. There's also the prophecies about Cardinal against Cardinal, etc.
Thanks be to God we aren't obliged to believe private revelation because I would struggle with her description. Judas was an Apostle. All our Bishops are successors of the Apostles. Cardinals are Bishops. For all we know, there may not be Cardinals at the time of the AC but there will be Bishops. Judas betrayed Jesus and the clerics who rejected Jesus handed Him over to the secular power for execution. There's nothing in Scripture to say that Judas was a humble man who attained great power. He recognised his guilt and returned the money to the High Priests. I believe that the equivalent in our time would be a Bishop betraying Jesus to a false church (for example, a church subservient to the secular power and that apes the one, true Catholic Church). The leaders of that false church will deny the divinity of Jesus just as the Jewish leaders did. The Church is the mystical body of Christ. The Church will be persecuted and betrayed to the secular powers. Most likely the Church will be underground at that time and the False Prophet will betray the Pope and his brother Bishops to the leaders of the false church which is under the control of the secular power. The secular power will be led by the equivalent of Caesar (Nero at the time the Disciples were writing what became the New Testament). The prevailing Nero will persecute the Church. Nero was the name the author of Scripture identified in numerical code. The AC will be a secular leader, a modern Nero, fully possessed by Satan. Scripture doesn't say that there will be a false church but there would have to be some kind of equivalent to the High Priests and Teachers if it's a precise repeat of the betrayal and murder of Jesus.
In the Medjugorje message in February, some people were discussing the meaning of the word “darnel”: Dear children! Pray and renew your heart so that the good which you have sown may bear the fruit of joy and oneness with God. Darnel has seized many hearts and they have become unfruitful; that is why, you little children, be light, love and my outstretched hands in this world which yearns for God Who is love. Thank you for having responded to my call. (February 25, 2024) I was watching a playlist of the great Mystic Maria Valtorta, and in the first video (towards the end) Jesus is talking about revenge & the devil's darnel (at the final judgment). Jesus also refutes millenarism and his reign on earth around the 21:00 mark:
It seems today (!) a Red Heifer cow is going to be sacrificed in Israel. I've seen this piece of news announced in a thousand places but I couldnt really confirm it. i think the only jewish group which sacrifices bovines is that one which made a Temple replica \has rabbis dressed like ancient kohens and doing the full burnt offering ritual. However I think they're considered fringe or even heretical by the mainstream orthodox rabbi councils...so I dunno how trustworthy this red heifer stuff is.
Return of an Unclean Spirit Matthew 43 “When the unclean spirit has gone out of a person, it passes through waterless places seeking rest, but finds none. 44 Then it says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came.’ And when it comes, it finds the house empty, swept, and put in order. 45 Then it goes and brings with it seven other spirits more evil than itself, and they enter and dwell there, and the last state of that person is worse than the first. So also will it be with this evil generation.” Christianity spread throughout the western world, often by heroic acts of Saints who battled the demons who were in those lands. Now Christianity is dying out.
From my understanding the "Passover 2024 begins at sundown on Monday, April 22nd and ends the evening of Tuesday, April 30th for most Jews in diaspora. Jews in the land of Israel and some Reform Jews in diaspora will end Passover on the evening of Monday, April 29th". A Kohen who fulfilled all of the stringent requirements to perform the Red Heifer ceremony on the Mount of Olives has been found, and his training has already begun. His name is unknown, the exact location of the heifers is being kept unknown because the Muslims are totally against this happening; as they believe that it's a plot to take over the Temple Mount and remove the Al-Aqsa mosque: https://israel365news.com/388432/hezbollah-threatens-the-red-heifers/
my opinion on future events is that we are in the period of 'Grace' or 'mercy' at the present time. This is the long period that God has allowed for conversions, but at some point, probably soon, this period will end with the return of Christ. I don't look for angelic popes or anything like that....just the return of Christ. I write this because of the words of Jesus to Saint Faustina. “You will prepare the world for My final coming.” (Diary 429) then The Holy Mother also spoke about this mission, saying to her the following: “I gave the Savior to the world; as for you, you have to speak to the world about His great mercy and prepare the world for the Second(91) Coming of Him who will come, not as a merciful Savior, but as a just Judge.” (Diary 635). The Lord Jesus wants to warn us of the coming judgment day and calls us to use the time of mercy: “the awful day, the day of My justice, is near” (Diary 965); “before I come as a just Judge, I first open wide the door of My mercy. He who refuses to pass through the door of My mercy must pass through the door of My justice.” (Diary 1146).
Prophecy is not my strong point but this video is fascinating and there is a lot in it. As far as I know it has not been posted before. But this is number 2 in the series. Not sure which is number 1 - I think it was posted 3 months ago on his channel.
