Also, I think of Jesus, "Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's..." Observant Jews worried, paying a tax to Rome was supporting a non-Jewish, pagan regime. But, Jesus said, obey the rules of the government. We should honor obligations in the temporal world, and also the spiritual world. Masks are a temporary requirement. There is, at least, a plausible argument for them. The majority of medical professionals support masks. No church officials, no bishops, have stood against following this public health regulation. Mark Mallett makes assumptions about motives of others, and predicts future problems. But, he is biased, and has a worldview many disagree with. .
If the mark of the beast is only an invisible absolute allegiance to the Antichrist, how is that invisible loyalty going to allow one to buy and sell? Is the cash register attendant going to read ones mind and say, yup I can and or can't sell to you today? I for one, thank God for his prophet's and those who have been given God's spiritual discernment of the Holy Spirit to discern as well. Keep up the good work Mark, Daniel, Peter and Christina, as you are doing a great service for the faithful in these times!! Mark Mallett has a true bias for God's truth through His prophets. Few will see that slavery to a mandated mask is just one step to following the one world government control of the AC. Luz de Maria has given the antidote to the Covid, which she was given from heaven. It's not a mask, but the Good Samaritan Oil. Few will enter the era of peace, because few refused to hear God's prophets, even after the Warning. Each to their own.
I'd like to know more about this from a spiritual point of view. Does it require perfect allegiance or just repeated consent? If we consent to something do we not invite them in somehow? I am thinking about "terms and conditions" as in that consent that we all give when signing up for all kinds internet services. When we accept the terms and conditions when signing up for a service, we give our consent to exchange something for something: we give them the right to our data, photos, etc in exchange for using their services. That's how it works generally and because we sign or click on the "I agree" button, we consent to give them our rights. Watch the documentary in the link and watch at the 6:30 mark about what the company called Game Station put in their terms and conditions. For one day, their terms stated: "By placing an order on this site, you agree to grant us a non transferable option to claim now and forever more your immortal soul." Signing to terms and conditions is something that came with the internet but was not done so broadly before. How many here read those terms and conditions before signing or clicking? Do we know what we are agree to give away? And how would God judge this? When we just accept without looking at the consequences of a legal engagement because we want the convenience of the service? Isn't that what Esau did? Eat his lentils without considering the price of the consequence? The fact is that those consent forms are so complicated, but it's like the mask issue isn't it? Because everyone is doing it, we have to do it and so it becomes a vicious circle, but the truth is if we consent, we consent. We have accepted the terms and why would God go against that? The text is there for us to read and the only reason we don't read it is because it is time-consuming and we want to keep up with others right? ok, well perhaps you're just very well armed spiritually and nothing bothers you. But I am bothered and like Mark, see the bigger picture: wearing masks is the "new normal" and await the next phase of weirdness. Connected face masks are coming (shipping soon to the US) which upload voice and breathing stats to the cloud and since we can't let good data go to waste, an Israeli company invented a covid-19 voice-based tests for Americans. When judgement comes, I don't see how else to respond except to honestly said "Forgive me God for I consented to all of this"
Good points Fatima. Perhaps not everyone needs to listen to Mark Mallets posts . . .perhaps there are many who are already on a higher spiritual path. But there are so many souls that are floundering and could use the guidance to carry them through the storms that are coming. They need some kind of support system. We have been warned in scripture about taking the mark of the beast and it is a mark. In the head or hand. Perhaps the head is the diabolical disorientation, the hand is aquiescing to the chip. So I think you are all right, it's a bit complicated.
So you think having a chip implanted against your will or a tattoo put on you against your will as mandated by a government is fine. I don't and won't.
Ive noticed that members on this forum are a good reflection of how the human mind works whether in the spiritual or secular realm. If one has already formed an opinion on a particular matter...he/she will always view anything that is said or written about that matter from his/her point of view! For example... those here who like Mark Mallett and his commentaries will only see positive/beneficial guidance in them, whereas those who dont like him or his commentaries will always see negative /dangerous suggestions. Sooo... my two cents would be for each one of us to read or hear anything that MM ( or anyone else for that matter)has to say or posts and ask the Holy Spirit to guide our perceptions of it and THEN make up our own mind about the matter! My experience has been that the best of us has flaws and even the worst of us has some good in them! No need for y'all to get nasty! Just sayin!
I don't think that people are bereft of the ability to change or to convert when more reasoning, insights, or more information is offered unless fear is part of the equation. Many fear that God's Mercy isn't really "unfathomable" and that if you step out to take a look at what certain individuals offer through their gifts of study of the mystical over long periods of time, while they haven't has yet had an imprimatur stamped upon all of their writings, that you'll be held accountable by a legalistic authority in heaven for any misinterpretations! So they constantly must keep a watch on themselves w/ some self devised yardstick. The one offered by heaven is far less legalistic and instead offers freedom. We have so many examples offered about this in Scripture as Christ Himself brought an entirely new experience of Salvation......not written in stone as the believers had come to expect. You didn't have to be qualified in some way to receive such a new way of seeing...in fact He had more success with those who seemed to be looking in from the outside and thus w/o the "baggage" that would hinder their openness to Him. Even as adults those who allowed themselves to be effected by Him/His Spirit were more like uneducated children who were ready to hear Him because He wasn't like anyone else. Most in the status quo of religion just wanted Him gone or only desired the material or natural gifts of physical healings and such w/o the accompanying possible graces that would live forever in them. And when even His own complained about those who were preaching but "not of their company" He had an answer about that kind of "ranking" too. Like anything else, at first you need more guidance and the need of the Holy Spirit's witness. Once you trust that He's been faithful to you in this realm over time you can live in the freedom that comes with the Spirit and sense when the opposition enters in. In the end it's not up to us to judge anyone's inner motivations. That's up to God. And we have been given the understanding that when we delve into what may be gifts given for our benefit, with trust and good will, desiring only what will bring us closer to Him and His Divine Will, we will benefit from our trust, no matter the outcome, as if things were what we had hoped for! He accomplishes that....not us!
[Edited] Thank you, Ellen. This is a good idea! I would add, people should do research. Look at who influenced the ideas we are discussing. That puts things into "context," and widens our perspective. For example, the Countdown site and its authors, Mark Mallett, Peter Bannister, and Daniel O'Connor are supporters of Fr. Joseph Iannuzzi. Fr. Iannuzzi's theological ideas underlie sections of the Countdown site--the discussion of Seals, the Timeline, Luisa Piccarretta messages. Fr. Iannuzzi is controversial, however. He is the most prominent apologist for an alleged prophet,* who was banned on MoG, for claiming Pope St. John Paul II was "led astray by Satan." Fr. Iannuzzi also recently attacked the Church Militant website, "for its anti-papal, anti-Medjugorge, anti-Ecumenical, anti-True Life in God, anti-Vatican II statements." From this, it seems Fr. Iannuzzi is pro-Pope Francis, pro-ecumenical, pro-TLIG, pro-Vatican II. All, the "liberal" side of theology, I think. The Countdown authors also fall on the "liberal" side. Also, more context... Three Canadian bishops banned Mark Mallett from speaking in their dioceses.* The bishops cited problems with Mallett's views about "end times," and the banned "prophet." Now, Mark Mallett defended himself, saying the bishops were mistaken. And, his own bishop did not keep him from speaking in his home diocese. (Although, the local bishop has not endorsed/examined Mallett's writings.) So, things to consider. *https://motheofgod.com/threads/vassula-who-attacked-st-jpii-praises-francis.14937/#post-289429 * I think he also had some U.S. engagements cancelled, but I cannot find a reference.
Excellent points, Christy! Scary stuff. Some people on the forum don’t like to hear anything negative about Fr Iannuzzi, but from what I understand, he is or has been in questionable standing with his superiors. He left them, or so I read. And they did not know where he was. The Church values obedience above all. Jesus told St Faustina to follow her superiors even if it went against what He told her.
Well, I just looked this up. There is a blog post about Fr. Iannuzzi's alleged problems with his order. I know the "Unveiling" site has been opposed to Fr. Iannuzzi, so I am just posting the link. http://unveilingtheapocalypse.blogspot.com/2018/02/the-oblates-of-st-joseph-confirm-that.html
One thing is fairly certain to me during this pandemic is the so called medical experts are anything but. The double speak and direct contradictions are mind boggling. The no mask vs mask is a perfect example. In Ontario Canada we are likely a week or 2 from ending the state of emergency and moving to phase 3. This will drop the extraordinary powers of the province. (Although they are drafting legislation giving a bit more than normal even once off) Oddly, at the exact same time many counties are enacting mandatory mask indoors. (Not private residences) Ours started yesterday even though we've had no cases in almost 2 months doing so without masks. If masks are mandatory with no cases what will prompt the end of masks? Legally this doesn't hold water and 100% won't once the emergency state is lifted. I will stop wearing mine at that point regardless of the mob. We will keep physical distancing for months though. What MM did provide, after digging into the link, was proof that in numerous studies masks cant and dont stop virus transmission. Even the medical N95 mask. So what some so called expert says means nothing without back up or evidence, which they never provide. I think Mark is onto something with the mask thing but only time will tell. It is amazing how many people dislike/don't believe CTTK and MM yet cant stop reading and talking about both almost daily.
So troubling about these masks. I think we are given a full knowledge choice to join the antichrist or remain faithful to God. Scripture tells us God marks His children--the angel is told to hold off his wrath until everyone is marked ( blood of the Lamb over us?) Perhaps this ties in with the Warning. A full knowledge refusal to serve the antichrist or a full knowledge agreement--thats what I think anyway from my reading. Also a friend who is a classics scholar and knows the Greek of the New Testament told me the word St John used for ths mark is a syringe or hypodermic. In other words injected under the skin. So it is a real mark!
Proving my point here...Christy has made her point view of CTTK very clear here on this forum so she finds information to support her stand on the veracity of MM et al. And thats fine... so its not that I dont agree with her..... its just that I have a totally different take on CTTK. She says that that "Countdown authors also fall on the "liberal" side."!! I happen to think just the opposite. Id say the Countdown authors (Mark and Daniel primarily) lean heavily on the" conservative" side' I have no idea who Fr Iannuzzi is, but it sounds like he falls in the same category as Fr Corapi.. a really solid catholic priest who fell from grace and seems to have become a casualty in the battle of these evil times of ours.I dont know ?? These priests (and all priests) need our prayers more than ever now ...not our condemnation.
So true, MMM. This thread on MOG was started to provide those who want to hear what others who are learned in this area of the prophetic consensus, among the alleged prophets of our time are saying. Like so many threads the naysayers cannot stand to read what others want to share and discuss, so they come on to ridicule and disrupt what they don't want to hear. This is not the spirit of God, which scripture itself has warned us "do not despise prophecy". The naysayers can start their own thread and cast all the doubt they want, but they have chosen to disrupt any threads on the MOG with their negativism against men and women whom choose to be enlightened by the discerners of God's prophets of these end times. NOTHING on CDTTK is contrary to our Catholic faith teachings or holy scripture, but that does not stop them from all kinds of slander against these good Catholic men and women writers. It will all play out and it won't be long and the naysayers will like the rest of us stand before the Warning of God soon coming. We will then all see the good and the damage one has done in their journey to this point, either in promoting and speaking to others about what God's prophets are saying or the slandering of His prophets of these times. As for me, I will stand with the the trustworthy/credible prophets of these time who have and are revealing what God wants His faithful to know and prepare for.
Yikes. From my reading kn this subject I have to say you are right. This is a huge huge threat to humanity. The priest you spoke of sounds prescient. Horrifying. Surely Our Lady will not allow her children to be polluted by this.
