Throughout the ages, the Church reproduces the whole life of Christ, of whom she is the Mystical Body…
“Jesus from His infancy is persecuted and has to fly into Egypt, while the massacre of the Holy Innocents takes place.
* The Church during four centuries suffers the most violent persecutions and has to hide in the Catacombs or in the desert.
Jesus in His youth retires to Nazareth and spends the longest years of His life in meditation and prayer.
* And the Church from the time of Constantine enjoys a long era of peace. Everywhere cathedrals and abbeys arise which resound with divine praise, and where bishops and abbots, priests and religious, by study and indefatigable zeal offer resistance to the invasion of heresy.
Jesus, the divine missionary sent by the Father into the distant regions of this earth, at the age of thirty begins His apostolic life.
* The Church from the sixteen century has to resist the assaults of revived paganism, and spreads the Gospel of Christ in the recently discovered parts of the world. From Her bosom spring up incessantly new hosts and numerous legions of apostles and missionaries who announce the good news to the whole world. At length Jesus ends His life by the sacrifice on Calvary, shortly followed by the triumph of His resurrection. And the Church, at the end of time, like her Divine Head on the Cross, will seem to be conquered, while yet it is she who will win the victory. “The body of Christ which is the Church,” says St. Augustine, “like the human body, was first young, but at the end of the world it will have an appearance of decline.”
Further indications that it’s the 11th hour…
World Enrollment
Just prior to Christ’s birth, Caesar enrolled the whole world with his census; now prior to Christ’s second coming, the “powers that be” intend to enroll the whole world with their digital ID
No more kings
Just prior to Christ’s first coming, the tribe of Juda had no more kings and was ruled by Herod; in our days, Christian monarchies have been eliminated and countries are again ruled by pagans
Loss of sacrifice
Just as the Jewish people lost their sacrifice before Christ’s coming, so now the converted Gentiles have lost the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass
Elimination/suppression of truth
Just as Christ was put to death in an attempt to eliminate the Truth; so now truth is being silenced
False Christs
Just as in the time of Jesus, there were false Christs (Simon Magus, etc.), so at the end of time, Protestant ministers, along with Novus Ordo and Traditionalist “clergy,” are acting as false Christs
"For there shall arise false Christs and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders, insomuch as to deceive (if possible) even the elect." (St. Matthew 24:24)
False Christians
Just as Protestants at the beginning of the Great Apostasy in 1517 began to usurp the name of “Christian” when they were actually heretics; similarly, at the end of the Great Apostasy, those in the Novus Ordo and Traditionalist sects are calling themselves Catholic when, in fact, they are heretics or schismatics
One religion
Just as Christ established a universal Church (“Catholic” means universal), so the “powers that be” are attempting to create one world religion in opposition to It
Doing the dirty work
Just as the Jewish hierarchy around the time of Christ used Roman soldiers to do their dirty work, so now the secret society of Freemasons (a religion unto itself & universal church of humanity) train and use Communists for the same
Number 33
Jesus established His Church when he was 33; Freemasons use their 33 degrees to attempt to bring It down
World Peace
Just as Christ said to His Apostles “peace I leave you, my peace I give you, not as the world giveth, do I give unto you,” so the “powers that be” are attempting to bring a false peace through the U.N.
Peace Sign
Just as Jesus’ peace sign could be seen on the chasubles of His priests during Holy Mass; the world’s peace sign is an upside-down mockery of this (this inversion is possibly an indication of the overthrow of the papacy)
Christ taken out of the way
Just as the unbelieving high priests, Sadducees, and Pharisees instigated Christ’s death, likewise the unbelieving false papacy in Rome (beginning with John 23rd) have instigated the death of His Mystical Body
“For the mystery of iniquity already worketh; only that he who now holdeth, do hold, until he be taken out of the way.” (2 Thess. 2:6-7)
“Then Jesus said to them: All you shall be scandalized in me this night. For it is written: I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be dispersed.” (St. Matthew 26:31)
70 years of captivity
Just as the Jewish people were held captive 70 years in Babylon and were forbidden to offer sacrifices; Christ’s Mystical Body, the Catholic Church, is currently living through 70 years of captivity under papal usurpers without the true Sacrifice of the Mass
“Neither is there at this time prince, or leader, or prophet, or holocaust, or sacrifice, or oblation, or incense, or place of first fruits before thee, that we may find thy mercy…” (Daniel 3:38-39)
Traitors
Whereas Judas Iscariot sold Christ’s physical Body during His Passion; so, cardinals/bishops (who committed apostacy in following John 23rd) sold Christ’s Mystical Body for positions in the false Katholyc church of Paul 6
Christ and Antichrist unrecognized
Just as Jesus was not recognized by those unwilling to accept Him as the Messias, so people today are refusing to recognize Paul 6 as Antichrist; whereas Jesus hid his glory & splendor and came in all truth, Paul 6 hid his malice and came in all lying and deceit
“He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.” (St. John 1:10)
Gentiles
In the beginning of Christ’s Church, St. Paul brought the Gentiles to the truth; so, in the end, another Paul has led them away from truth by mixing it with error
Precursors
Just as Jesus had a precursor named John (St. John the Baptist), so Antichrist (Paul 6) had a precursor named John (John 23)
Idolatry
Just as Antiochus (the Jewish antichrist) erected an altar in front of the main altar and set up Jupiter Olympus to be worshipped; so today in false Katholyc churches, the altars have been turned around to face the people (the main altar being behind it or even eliminated)
False Worship
Christ instituted the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass to worship the true God, so Antichrist (Paul 6) instituted the Novus Ordo (New Order) Protestant service to worship a piece of bread
Succession
Just as Christ had Vicars who succeeded him, so Antichrist (Paul 6) has false ones (John Paul 1, John Paul 2, Benedict, Francis, Benedict 14, etc.). Notice the names John 23 and Paul 6 have been combined in their immediate successors; before this, a true pope never took two first names; also, John Paul 1 put the numeral one behind his name when there wasn't a John Paul 2 yet!
Condemnation of Christ’s Church
Just as Pontius Pilate was the Roman Empire’s authoritative figure who officially condemned Christ; likewise, we’re awaiting the world’s official condemnation of the false Katholyc church in Rome
Falling Away from the Faith
In the 3rd century, St. Athanasius fought against the Arian heresy which had taken about 97 percent of the Faithful away from the truth. He said to the Faithful, “They may have the churches, but we have the Faith!”; so, it is the same today
Man setting himself up as God
In the beginning, man was deceived in thinking himself a god; so, in the end, man is setting himself up as God and ignoring the omnipotence of His Creator
Catacombs
Following Christ’s death, the early Church survived in the catacombs; just before His second coming, it now exists in the catacombs in the hearts of the remaining Faithful
“But yet the Son of man, when He cometh, shall He find, think you, faith on earth?” (St. Luke 18:8)
“Therefore, brethren, stand fast; and hold the traditions which you have learned, whether by word, or by our epistle.” (2 Thessalonians 2:14)
“Even so then at this present time also, there is a remnant saved according to the election of grace.” (Romans 11:5)
Slaughter of the innocents
Shortly after Christ’s birth, the Holy Innocents were murdered; prior to His second coming, the world has committed wholescale slaughter of children through abortion
Destruction by Fire
In the beginning of ages, Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed by fire for sins of gluttony, sodomy, lust, and promiscuity; at the end of ages, our world now embraces the same vices -- it will, in turn, be destroyed by fire!
CALL TO ACTION: On this Feast of the Precious Blood, ponder seriously the above, so that Jesus’ most precious Blood will not have been shed in vain!
