Civil and foreign wars! Mourning and death everywhere! Famine over the whole world. Will Lutetius [Paris] be destroyed? Why, O Lord, dost Thou not stop all this with Thy arm? Must also the elements be the instrument of Thy wrath? Enough, O Lord, enough! The cities are destroyed, the natural elements are set loose, the earthquakes are everywhere. But mercy, mercy for Rome! But Thou hearest not my entreaties, and Rome also collapses in the tumult. And I see the king of Rome with his Cross and his tiara, shaking the dust off his shoes, and hastening in his flight to other shores. Thy Church, O Lord, is torn apart by her own children. One camp is faithful to the fleeing Pontiff, the other is subject to the new government of Rome which has broken the Tiara. But almighty God will, in His mercy, put an end to this confusion and a new age will begin. Then, said the Spirit, this is the beginning of the End of Time.” (The source of this prophecy is unknown, but there exist many manuscript copies of it dating to the late fifth century, A.D.) St. Hildegard of Bingen (1098 A.D. - 1179 A.D.)
Yes, this is credible prophecy of St. Hildegard of Bingen, as I believe. She had real connections to 'above' and wrote angelic music. I think this prophecy has to be interpreted metaphorically, like most prophecy. One camp is faithful to the fleeing Pontiff (Pope Benedict), the other is subject to the new government of Rome which has broken the Tiara ('Pope Francis'). But Almighty God will, in His mercy, put an end to this confusion and a new age will begin. This is our hope. God bless!
So we have the 'faithful Christian' Putin returning from a 'love-fest' with Kim Jong Un, probably the most barbaric despot in the world. He poured lavish praise on the leader of a country in which possession of a bible can attract the death penalty! On a different subject we have people on here who insist that all the promises made to Abraham now apply only to Christians and not the Jews. In which case why are Christians not in possession of those lands promised (in detail) to Abraham and his offspring FOR EVER in Genesis? Either God got it wrong, changed his mind or he meant it literally and is fulfilling His promise.
Agreed on your interpretation, Michael_Pio. But to clarify, that prophecy quoted by Padraig is not from St. Hildegard. At the bottom of that quote, it references the source: "(The source of this prophecy is unknown, but there exist many manuscript copies of it dating to the late fifth century, A.D.)" Here is the quote from St. Hildegard from that web page: "The time is coming when princes and peoples will renounce the authority of Rome. Individual countries will prefer their own Church rulers to the Pope. The German Empire [i.e., the reign of Benedict XVI] will be divided. Church property will be secularized. Priests will be persecuted. After the birth of Anti-Christ, heretics will preach their false doctrines undisturbed, resulting in Christians having doubts about their Holy Catholic Faith." Note how BXVI's pontificate is referred to as "the German Empire." And remember that whenever you read prophecies that mention "France." The reference to France in those prophecies is probably not a reference to the nation of France, but instead to the false pontificate of "Francis," who will reveal himself very soon as the Antichrist (for those with eyes to see and ears to hear). Here are some other quotes from St. Hildegard (with references to her works, if anyone wants to verify): Hildegard on the Antichrist’s pretended death From Scivias: "But I [the Antichrist] will die for you and to your glory, and rise again from death; and so I will deliver my people from Hell, that you may live gloriously with me in my kingdom, as that deceiver [Jesus] pretended He had done before." And he will tell his beloved ones to run him through with a sword and wrap him in a clean shroud, until the day of his resurrection. And he will delude them into thinking they are killing him, and so they will fulfill his commands. Then he will pretend to rise again, and bring out a writing as if for the salvation of souls, which is really a dire curse. And he will give this to people for a sign and command them to adore him. And if any person of faith refuses for love of My name, he will kill that person in great suffering and torture. And thus all who see and hear this will be struck with great wonder and doubtful amazement, as My beloved John shows..." [Scivias, Book III, Vision 11, 31.] From Book of Divine Works: "For so too will he [the Antichrist] pretend to die, as if to redeem his people by his death, and to raise himself up again to return to life. He will also have an inscription written upon the foreheads of his followers, through which to introduce into them every evil, as too the ancient serpent, after deceiving humankind, kept them captive by stoking them with lust. Through that scripture he will inspire them by magical craft to oppose baptism and the Christian name, so that they will not desire to leave him, and all will style themselves after him, just as Christians are named after Christ." [The Fathers of the Church, Mediaeval Continuation, Volume 18. St. Hildegard Von Bingen, The Book of Divine Works. Pages 469, Part III, Vision 5, Chapter 31.] Description of the Antichrist in St. Hildegard von Bingen (1173 AD) "The Antichrist will indeed be infused by the devil when he opens his mouth to teach perversity, as described above. He will destroy all that God established with the ancient and the new law, and he will assert that sexual immorality and other like things are not sins at all. For he will claim that it is not a sin if flesh heats up flesh, just as it is not a sin if a person warms himself by the fire. He will also assert that all commandments concerning chastity were made in ignorance, for since one person may be hot but another cold, they ought to moderate one another with their heat and cold. "And again he will say to the faithful, 'Your law of sexual restraint was established contrary to the way of nature. Is a person not supposed to be hot, when his very breath is a fire that kindles his whole body? How could he keep his cool when it’s against his nature? Conversely, what reason could a person have to refuse to offer warmth to another’s flesh? For that man who you say is your master gave you a law that goes beyond measure when he bid you to live in such a way. But I say, embrace these two paths of hot and cold, and keep each other in your warm embrace! Consider that the man just mentioned gave you unjust commands, for despite his order that people not embrace one another with such warmth, they still maintained the nature of their flesh. So see here and do not be misled any longer by an unjust teaching, for with me you get to do whatever you want or not. Your master did not set before you correct propositions; he wanted you to be like a spirit that is unbound by the flesh and cannot physically do anything. But that’s not how naturally-born human flesh was created; rather it's flooded and formed by fire, because if human children weren’t created in that way, they wouldn’t be capable of physical action. So know then what you really are! For your first teacher deceived you and didn’t help you in anything. But I inspire you really to learn about yourselves and to know what you are, for I created you, and I am completely in all things. In assigning all his works to another, meanwhile, that one spoke nothing on his own because he couldn’t do anything on his own. But I speak for myself, and I can do all things by myself.' "With these words and others like them, that wretched son of perdition will mislead people, teaching them to live according to the flesh’s fiery appetite and to achieve their flesh’s every want--despite the fact that both the old and the new law encourage humans to chastity in such a way that chastity does not surpass its proper measure." [The Fathers of the Church, Mediaeval Continuation, Volume 18. St. Hildegard Von Bingen, The Book of Divine Works. Pages 466-467, Part III, Vision 5, Chapter 30 (in part).]
Jews do not possess the fullness of the law, Christians do. Jesus himself said that he came to fulfill the law, which the Jews do not have. Abraham is the forefather not only of Jews, but also of Christians and Muslims. All three religions consider him as their founder. All three religions are located in that area and it is definitely not given only to Jews. If it were granted, then only they would be there, and it would turn out that God lied when he said that Abraham would have descendants like the stars in the sky, which in the case of the Jews themselves is not true because there are only a few million of them, as opposed to a few billions of Christians and Muslims. As for the country itself in the Middle East, we often interpret the Bible as it suits us, just as the Jews often tempted Jesus, and he gave different answers than in the Old Testament, like the question of divorce. Genesis 17:8 "I will give the whole land of Canaan to your family forever, and I will be their God. " but.... Galatians 3:29 And if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise John 18:36 Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, my servants would have been fighting, that I might not be delivered over to the Jews. But my kingdom is not from the world.” Luke 17:20-21 Being asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, he answered them, “The kingdom of God is not coming in ways that can be observed, nor will they say, ‘Look, here it is!’ or ‘There!’ for behold, the kingdom of God is in the midst of you.” John 3:3 Jesus answered him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.” 1 Corinthians 15:24 Then comes the end, when he delivers the kingdom to God the Father after destroying every rule and every authority and power. All the promises to Abraham belong to Christians, but the promises made by Jesus belong exclusively to Christians, not to Jews unless they convert, but then become Christians. Man cannot be born again without the Holy Spirit, which is the only one recognized in Christianity. The promised land is the kingdom of God, it does not belong to one nation or race, but to those saved by the grace of God.
Russia, China, North Korea, Vietnam, Venezuela, Cuba and even a blink of an eye from the communist president of Brazil, Angola, the BRICS... It seems like the old powers of communism are rising from the ashes and reorganized to suddenly dominate the world. That would be the preparation for the great and deserved punishment of the liberal and immoral West, once Christian... The prophecies are being fulfilled daily before our eyes. It is a privilege to live in this generation but it is truly frightening.
I've also thought that, on the other hand, a more direct involvement of European countries in the Russia/Ukraine war could be the trigger for social unrest... I don't see the Western population accepting very well the sending of soldiers to war or having to reduce social benefits in exchange for war expenses. I don't imagine that in Paris or London it would be as easy to control anti-war protests as it was in Moscow or St. Petersburg when Russia invaded Ukraine. And plane crashes with government oppositionists are less likely to happen and there is a little more diversity of opinion in the media. Russia, like its allies China, Iran or North Korea, has a strong advantage in these areas in the event of a direct conflict. This is an unavoidable strategic advantage for Putinist Russia.
I believe God loves us and more than anything else wishes our conversion. Starting at once with Global Conflict would be a little bit throwing a little baby into the sea and letting the poor thing get on with it. No with a baby a mother holds it in her arms and carries it step by into the ocean so it does not drown. The same with us I think we'll see a graduated descent into war with social unrest economic unheavels, civil wars physical disasters, heavenly signs and so. It might still be fairly quick, may a year or two but not kinda one moment quiet next all out war. We saw the same thing in the Second World War with the phoney war and Pearl Harbour did not happen to right on in. I expect the same this time. It just a kindness from heaven. Also events will be announced prophetically before hand.
Hi all, please pray for my country lebanon as the situation in the south is tense, although life is normal as usual in the capital and other districts
Roosevelt and Churchill had no qualms about going into alliance with Stalin. Nixon famously created detente with Mao. God owes nothing to those who reject him. The Zionists can go ahead and build their Third Temple, for all the good it will do them. The Jews' own Talmud states that the Temple sacrifice failed from forty years before the fall of Jerusalem. Likewise, a restored 'Temple' would be equally futile. The Catholic Church is the New Israel. Those who currently politically control this land are imposters. Christ referred to those offspring of Abraham who rejected Him as "the synagogue of satan". Christians will regain possession of the Holy Land when these rejectors of Christ finally bow the knee to Him. In the meantime, it is not the works of God that they're doing.
I think communism is now within, in an even deadlier form. The late Augusto del Noce, a devout Italian philosopher wrote prophetically of this in the sixties, describing how liberal, social democratic Europe would degenerate into an even more corrupt form of communism than that existing in the USSR and China. I think it is represented by this 'Wokist' ideology, which seems more evil than even traditional Marxism. It just hasn't accumulated the same number of bodies...yet; but it seems more efficient already in destroying souls, God help us.
https://www.lifesitenews.com/opinio...for-messiah-jerusalem-temple-new-world-order/ Influential religious group pushing for ‘Messiah’, Jerusalem Temple, New World Order Chabad-Lubavitch has long promoted troubling ideas about an imminent messianic age, the Jerusalem Temple and a Noahide New World Order. Analyzing these ideas is essential for understanding the conflict in Israel and its impact on the world. The last part of a recent series, about the earthly “Moshiach” (messiah) expected by the Jewish people, mentioned ideas held by the Hasidic group Chabad-Lubavitch. This group, based in New York but with a wide international network of influence, has long been promoting troubling ideas about an imminent messianic age. Given its influence, understanding these ideas is essential for understanding the conflict in Israel, which looks poised to engulf the world. Chabad was founded in the eighteenth century in Eastern Europe, and now boasts nearly 5,000 “shluchim” families (elite[1] “emissaries” for the organization). It has around 3,500 centers, in 100 countries. It was formerly headed by Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, known by many as “The Rebbe” or “The Lubavitcher Rebbe.” Chabad’s ideas about the Moshiach (the messiah) and the messianic age are focused on three main areas: Hastening his coming The rebuilding of the Jerusalem Temple and the redemption (or “ingathering”) of the Jewish people to Israel The “Noahide Laws” – the naturalist religion or code of morality for the non-Jewish world. The organization’s approach means that some of these points may also be considered as goals. Chabad actually wants to make aspects of these expectations into a reality. We have already considered why such goals may be generally concerning for Catholics. In this piece, we shall consider Schneerson and Chabad’s teaching on these goals, and just how concerning they are for the world. The coming of the supposed Messiah A sizeable proportion of Schneerson’s followers believe that he himself was the promised Moshiach, and is either still living in hiding or will come back from the dead in due course.[2] But while this is an internal Chabad debate, it is certain that Chabad rhetoric speaks as if the arrival of the Moshiach is imminent. Some sources suggest that, in Chabad’s doctrine, Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is closely linked to the coming of the Moshiach. For instance, one Rabbi Levi Sudri claimed that Netanyahu was the precursor of the Moshiach, or even a “first-stage Moshiach.”[3] It is very clear that we see in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that he is fulfilling his destiny as Moshiach ben Yosef, that is to say, the reincarnation of Jonathan.[4] In his argument for this idea, Sudri referred to Schneerson: Rabbi Schneerson told Netanyahu that he would give the scepter to the Melech HaMoshiach (Messianic king, i.e. Moshiach ben David).[5] The Netanyahu-aligned Israel Today also reported this claim, without citing Sudri or any other source, in a somewhat different form: About 30 years ago, the late Lubavitcher Rebbe told a young Netanyahu that ‘he, Benjamin Netanyahu, will be Israel’s prime minister, who will pass the scepter to the Messiah.’ The Lubavitcher Rebbe said this during the election campaign in the 1990s, before Netanyahu’s first term in office.[6] While this claim does not appear in English-language material on the Chabad website, it does suggest that some believe that there is a messianic connection between Netanyahu and Schneerson, the former of whom has a quasi-prophetic role to play in the eschatological history of Israel.[7] Regardless of their views on Schneerson being the Moshiach, both factions seem to agree that something more is evidently needed to bring about the messianic age. Another certainty is that Chabad and Schneerson teach that it is a duty to bring about the Moshiach and the messianic age. The closeness of the supposedly messianic era Chabad states that Schneerson “stated on numerous occasions that the messianic redemption is imminent.[8]
