Countdown to the Kingdom

  1. I think that of all the current revelations that I know, Edson’s are the ones that most threaten people who don’t believe him. that's scary. there are at least 100 threatening messages. these messages are from the angry edson's head or the devil himself after the church having banned him

    Sad....I met Edson and have had dinner with him several times. He seems so authentic and humble.....totally humble.

    From the bishop's website (using Google translate):

    'Fr. Graciomar Gama Fernandes, at the mercy of God and the Apostolic Holy See, Diocesan Administrator of the Prelature of Itacoatiara, in the use of the powers conferred on him by the Code of Canon Law, in view of the official position of the Holy Church, on the events of ITAPIRANGA , with regard to the “SUPPOSED APPARITIONS” of the Virgin Mary, COMMUNICATES:

    With a letter dated February 7, 2017, the congregation for the doctrine of the faith, DOES NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THE AUTHENTICITY OF THE SUPPOSED APPARATIONS AND, THEREFORE, OF THE MESSAGES FOR "HER" SPOKEN.

    At the same time as the aforementioned dicastery DETERMINES:

    The alleged messages are no longer being disseminated within the Prelature of Itacoatiara;

    No mention should be made, in the divine service, celebrated in the sanctuary dedicated to Our Lady Queen of the Rosary and Peace of Itapiranga or anywhere else in the Prelature, about the alleged apparitions and messages that Mr. Edson Glauber would be receiving;

    Mr. Edson Glauber and the Association of the Queen of the Rosary and Peace of Itapiranga (ARRPI), ABSTAIN from a greater DISSEMINATION OF THESE MESSAGES;

    With regard to the letter of introduction that Monsignor Carillo Gritti gave to Mr. Edson Glauber de Souza, on the alleged apparitions, Bishop Carillo's successor will make all the appropriate decisions.

    I also inform you that this communiqué will be sent to each priest of our prelature to be published in the respective parishes and to the Metropolitan Archbishop of Manaus, Dom Sérgio Castriani.

    Given and passed in the Curia of the Prelature of Itacoatiara, on the twenty-fourth (24) days of March in the year two thousand and seventeen (2017).'

    I've deleted Edson's messages since they are Church-Condemned.

    I distrust loads of messages on the Countdown Site. I am very,very surprised indeed at a lot of these being published.

    It appears Mr. Glauber is in disobedience to legitimate Church authority. I would be even more concerned if Edson Glauber would claim that the apparition instructed him not to comply.

    Safe in the Barque of Peter!

    I am increasingly concerned about some of the visionaries/messages being promoted on this site. Some of the messages are truly terrifying and I strongly suspect untrue.

    Causing people to feel fear or terror with no good reason is a bad thing to be doing.

    Very, very bad.

    honestly, if we all just pray the rosary, adore the Eucharist, and go to Mass daily, we have a better chance of being inspired by the Holy Spirit within ourselves rather than having to rely on some visionary in some place in the world. God lets me know what I have to do one day at a time through His Spirit which dwells with me and stays alive through the sacraments and of course, frequent penance.

    The prophets have always had their place in God's plan. ALWAYS. Anyone who reads scripture knows this. Scripture, God's word, tells us "do not despise prophecy". Why? Because prophecy and God's prophets is how God has chosen for his children on earth to prepare for what He is doing and going to do. If it were an alleged prophet who was speaking that which is contrary to our Catholic faith or contrary to scripture or contrary to the consensus of other credible alleged prophets for our time, I would dismiss them. As anyone can see from those vetted on www.countdowntothekingdom.com this is not the case with those highlighted there. Yes, we need to go to Mass, pray the rosary and such, but one should not bury their head in the sand as the prophets warn of immanent changes coming. Family needs us to warn and prepare them with God's prophetic truths. How will one feel when these events take place and we have not spoken to our family and friends? We knew and said nothing. Who would want to be a prophet, scorned and ridiculed and slandered by most, even among the baptized? IMHO, very little time left to prepare oneself and ones family and friends. Yes, most won't listen, but that is on them. If we remain silent, it is upon us.

    Now that is a reasonable challenge for us all. We can discuss here on MOG who we believe are viable prophets of our day. If it is a hobby, well fine and good. But if we are convinced, for instance, that the Warning is legitimate and soon-to-come, then with whom have we shared this? Or for that matter, with whom have we shared the message of Fatima?

    In reality, the real issue is proclaiming the Gospel. Eschatological details can be found in one's toolbox, but an authentic witness requires us to not only to pursue holiness, but to share the Truth of the Gospel with others. If we started a thread on the constructive ways each of us are doing this in our daily lives, how long would that thread be?

    Mark 1:14 Now after John was arrested, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of God, 15 and saying, "The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent, and believe in the gospel.

    I haven't commented on MoG for more than a month. But, I feel compelled to point out something in a new article by Christine Watkins. (This was linked, above, by Catherine L.)

    The article says Fr. Rodrigue has been performing exorcisms without the permission of his bishop! This is very worrisome. The power to cast out spirits is delegated by the bishop in the Catholic rite. It is not supposed to be done outside on one's own.

    Dr. Mark Miravalle wrote that Fr. Rodrigue had many early brushes with evil/occult; the priest even burned down his family home when he was a boy. Miravalle said that was a cause of concern. This is just as great a cause for concern.

    I wonder why the bishop has not yet taken any action on Fr. Rodrigue? Surely, an investigation is warranted.

    From the Countdown article,

    "But the bishop says he doesn’t have faculties for exorcism . . .

    Fr. Michel has been sent the most difficult cases for exorcism for many years and been very careful not to work outside of his jurisdiction. In a talk he gives, which is on YouTube, he speaks of meeting a man who needed exorcism, but he was careful not to even perform the exorcism because it was outside of his jurisdiction and he wanted to follow church protocol.

    I don’t know where the discrepancy is, but I trust Fr. Michel’s words. Perhaps he worked under another bishop. Fr. Michel is being attacked for doing the great good that others are afraid to approach. Many great saints have been treated as such, for the devil hates someone who is always casting him out and helping the Lord save souls..."

    .

    Thank you, Christy, for pointing that out. Obedience is paramount! Always.

    Especially with the risks involved in exorcism. Fr Ripperger and his assistant Dr Dan Schneider spell that out very clearly.
     
  19. I read Ms. Watkins words on her site directly to be sure I didn’t miss anything. Nowhere there does she directly address the statement she also makes which is:

    "But the bishop says he doesn’t have faculties for exorcism . . .”

    Instead, she seems to redirect the reader towards raising awareness of the good she says Father is doing by performing the very exorcisms for which he does not seem to have permission from his bishop to do.

    Why? How does this response help her case?—~AN

    It’s faulty thinking on Ms Watkins’ part. It’s a red herring.
