The Last Age Before the Messiah Comes: The Age of WAR.

In all history of God there have been three ages and we are in the last of the three ages.

The first age was the Age of the Prophets,  This is the age of the creation of Man, the coming together of the Chosen people, the House of Israel, and their purification up to the coming of the Messiah.  We see God crying to His chosen children begging for their repentance and for them to turn away from their sin.

The second age is the Age of the Messiah, Jesus Christ.  This encompasses His holy conception in the womb of the Virgin Mary and continues through His life, miracles, preaching, suffering, death and resurrection.  This age was not completed at the Resurrection of Jesus, but continuing till the present day with the fruit of the apostolic spreading of the Word of God via the Holy Spirit.  

The last age that has started, and is continuous with the Age of the Messiah is the Age of War.  This is the most terrifying of the three ages, because at the end of this age the Lord Jesus returns.  

Whenever there was a danger to God's people, God has ALWAYS sent a Prophet, a Messenger to warn of the danger, and beg the people to repent of their sin and turn back to our Holy God before it was too late.  Too late for what? For Christ's return which is closer than anyone can imagine.

If you understood the terror of the Cross you would listen to me.  What should terrify us is what it truly means that God Jehovah took flesh and submitted to the Crucifixion for our Salvation.  

This brings a great responsibility on our part to be HOLY.  

Yes, God is infinitely merciful and does not desire the loss of one soul, no not one.  But God is perfectly just, and when He returns as the just Judge, there will be no more time for mercy!  Where the economy of the soul is at that moment can determine the souls destination for ALL ETERNITY.   Do not let the light be extinguished at night unless you have reconciled yourself to God. 

God always prepares His people for the next big event in the economy of Eternity.  God sent the Prophets, they were abused, scoffed at, killed.  God sent His Son, and He was Crucified. 
But GOD ALWAYS PREPARES THE WAY for His next arrival!  

But this preparation is very different.  Yes, God is sending messengers to give the hard truth to as many as possible, but there is something more this time.  God is training and preparing Warriors for battle with the demons for the souls of the lost.  The state of sin in the world is so great, it is greater than the time of the flood of Noah. So God is sending those who will lay down comfort and sacrifice in pleading with God for the blackest of hearts.  God does not need those He sends, but by what those sent will have to suffer for the sake of the Gospel and speaking the truth, God will bring souls to repentance and at the same time purify the Warrior for a greater battle ahead. 
==============================================================
Luke Chapter 17:  

26 'As it was in Noah's day, so will it also be in the days of the Son of man.

27 People were eating and drinking, marrying wives and husbands, right up to the day Noah went into the ark, and the Flood came and destroyed them all.

28 It will be the same as it was in Lot's day: people were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building,

29 but the day Lot left Sodom, it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and it destroyed them all.

30 It will be the same when the day comes for the Son of man to be revealed.

31 'When that Day comes, no one on the housetop, with his possessions in the house, must come down to collect them, nor must anyone in the fields turn back.

32 Remember Lot's wife.


33 Anyone who tries to preserve his life will lose it; and anyone who loses it will keep it safe.

==============================================================
Now is the time for Holy Souls, innocents, that will willingly lay down their comfort for the sake of the conversion of sinners.   We can no longer deny that we are at war with the devil for the souls of the lost.  We can do nothing for God but we can plead to God and sacrifice something of comfort for our brother in penance for his or her sin.   

The Prophets and Preachers of this age must speak the truth of God, and the Warriors will make war on the Earth battling the devil.  Woe to those who are called to preach the Gospel at this time and reject this call!  

With the Stations offered for a Country, a City, or just to bind a great sin in the way God would have it bound, if our heart is aligned with love for God and seeking only the salvation of lost souls then we can be in our own home church, and at God's will , we can wage war against the demon on the whole Earth.   

With the Holy Mass, the Stations, and the Holy Rosary, if God allows it, the Catholic can change the face of the Earth.   (The trick is you must remain hidden). 

With God with us and with St. Michael the Archangel and the Holy Angels to defend us, who can come against us?  The Rosary is my weapon, humility is my shield and Holy Confession and Holy Communion are my armor in this fight.  

We have been prepared for the Messiah, we have had the Messiah come, and now...we are preparing for the return.   Do I know when this is? No. No one does, and if they say they do, they are either a liar or deceived by the devil.  

"When the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the Earth?"  This is our hourglass so to speak, the only measure given us of a possible timing of His coming.  As the world becomes more atheistic and secular, so is the time so much shorter for our repentance and/or conversion before our Lord comes again. 

Now is the time to be AWAKE!

Back From The Edge

Back From The Edge

Many of us never know how close we have come to going to hell.  I found out today just how close I really came to being in the place of eternal torment. Really close. 

When my husband was alive I had come back to the Catholic Church and I prayed my Rosary and loved to spend time with our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament.  After my husband died, everything hurt, and I mean everything.  Little things like going to the grocery store or watching t.v. was painful, and yes going to church was painful too because everywhere I was, I could feel his absence.  (He never went to church with me, but I prayed for him much there.) 

Well, after his death, I was hurting so bad, that I just didn't care about anything, myself included.  All I wanted was to not hurt just for a little while.  I worked 50 hours a week, because I knew if I kept busy the 'demon' of sadness was kept at bay.  (There is a physical law that you can't think of two things at the same time, so the busier I was, the better.)  In addition to using work as a distraction from the pain I was experiencing, I also sought out unhealthy relationships with men.  I stepped into mortal sin.  I made every excuse for my behavior, saying that God would understand, and what I was doing wasn't so bad.  But I was lying, to myself.  The part of me that had loved to go to Mass and pray her Rosary in front of the Blessed Sacrament was screaming, "What are you doing! You know better!"  

After three years of this I was beginning to wonder if this was going to be my entire life, and if I could continue to live in this constant pain.  Then one day, there was no extra work available and I took a day off.  I waited for the sadness to come.  It didn't.  I was quite surprised.  My demon must have been on an extended coffee break.   For the first time I knew something that I hadn't known in three years:  Hope.   For the first time I had hope that there could be a life without this constant sadness.

There was still the problem of my sin though.  Then on the way to work one day I heard the sweetest female voice say to me, "Pray a Rosary for me."  I knew who it was, I didn't need to question.  I said to her, "Gosh, a WHOLE Rosary?" She said, still ever so sweetly, "Just give me a decade."  I said, "Ok." and prayed the decade.  Well, that was all it took, with that one decade, I started praying the Rosary daily again.  I tell you the truth, if you are in consistent mortal sin, you cannot pray the Rosary and still sin, you will either give up the sin or give up the Rosary.  This was my truth also.   The rest of the story of how I came home (it wasn't overnight, but our Mother's Holy Rosary did it) is a rather long one, so I won't tell it here.  

But what I will tell is what God showed me about how close I came to facing God's judgement while in mortal sin.   God can judge a sinner at ANY TIME He wishes, and in praying the Stations of the Cross, God let me know just how close I came to that judgement while I was still in mortal sin and not confessed. 

The fourth station of the cross is where Jesus meets his Mother on the path of the Cross.  In our Church, if you look at the station, it almost looks as if the Blessed Mother is pleading with her Son.  When I came to this station to pray it, God showed me something.  God showed me that it was the Blessed Mother who had pleaded to our Lord for me when I was in my worst sin.  Then I was to understand that when I heard that sweet voice asking me to "Pray me a Rosary." was my last chance to repent.  What would have happened? I don't know, maybe I would have died in my sins.  But I tell you the truth, if I HAD died in my sins, I would have faced my personal judgement before God and because my sins were of a grave nature, I would have been in hell for all eternity, I know that for sure.  I know that because this was what was the knowledge given to me.  

How close to the edge of the cliff was I, ready to fall into hell? Really close, almost hanging on by a thread.  But God was merciful and sent me His Mother to call me back from the ledge.  If your own child got too close to a fire, would you scream and maybe make the child react and fall the wrong way towards the fire or gently distract it from the danger with a sweet and gentle voice to draw it away from the danger?  

She is a loving Mother, and when I was close to danger, with her Son's permission she came to me and lovingly pulled me away from the fire (literally!).  I beg any of you who are reading this to examine your own sins and reconcile with God....now.  Do not turn God away if you hear His voice. 

Go to Holy Confession!

===================

Act of Contrition

(My personal prayer)

God forgive me of my sins, I regret each one as a separation from you.  Look in my heart and know it is full of love for you and a desire to pursue the path of perfection.  Help me pursue this path of perfection by keeping my heart, soul and body pure.

Amen
