Truly scary especially for the UK which makes me wonder what the people in the UK think of this. Do they see it as empty threats or are they somewhat fearful. Thanks for these posts Jason.
Hi Byron, I think that you. Are asking which prophecies that I know of that seem to match these threats from the Russians. Is that right? If so, the one that comes to mind is Alois Irlmaier’s which appears to be a really good match and maybe St. Patrick. Maybe others here will respond also.
I did find it strange that Prince William did not go to King Constantine’s funeral. So, there may be no discussion of threat from the outside, but the RF is probably getting prepared.
I know it is hard to believe. But I take it from what Our Blessed Lady has been saying that there are certain people who are so wicked and evil that they actually want and are planning for All out War. I think this is one of the huge, huge mistakes that Modernist Catholic Heretics and Freemasons make, that they assume that everyone means well and are of good intent. This is not true. When the angels appeared in the sky over Bethlehem they sang the wish for Peace on Earth, not to all men, but to all men of good will. The angels knew very well that not all men are of good will. This is perhaps the grave mistake Pope Francis will make in travelling to Moscow. He will assume that everyone involved is of good will. They most certainly are not. There are some truly evil dudes out there. As he will discover for himself.. Luke 2:14 Glory to God in the highest; and on earth peace to men of good will.
That is interesting Padraig. I think that perhaps God uses people in various ways in His plan of salvation. In the Old Testament we see that the LORD actually hardens the heart of the Pharaoh on several occasions. After the Pharaoh had relented and let the Israelites go, the LORD hardened his heart again. This was to result in the destruction of Egyptians who were in pursuit across the Red Sea. There does seem to be an element of Predestination in this. I am not saying I am a Calvinist but these are very great mysteries. Even St. Louis de Montfort speaks of the predestinate and the reprobate, and he says that the true devotion to Mary is a sign of predestination. I think that as it says in the Psalms, God searches our hearts. Only He knows our hearts, and in a mysterious way without compromising our free will, He knows the final outcome and so He can tip souls one way or the other if necessary in His providential plan of salvation. In this respect I often meditate on Jesus saying to His apostles in the Garden of Getsemani: 'pray ye, that ye not be put to the test'. I often pray that I not be put to the test, for fear I would not pass it. I propose the following video clip as an analogy which maybe captures some of God's approach to individuals in Salvation History. But of course it is human and a very imperfect analogy.
Francis Hogan in her scripture studies (not sure if its Revelation or Gospel of John) says that Egypt was given their chance. They had centuries to get it right. They took in the Israelites and treated them well and prospered with them. But then they "forgot Joseph" and started to persecute the Israelite. And God permitted their hardened hearts. Yet Pharoah was given chance after chance to pull back but he didn't. And his hubris led to his destruction and the destruction of Egypt's power and dominance. Shd says the same pattern runs all through scripture. And Jesus's tragic prediction of what would happen to Israel because they refused God and missed the time of their visitation. She believes the Church is in this pattern now--hubris and hard heartened. She says the Church will rise again but not as it once was. I wish (as shown in Revelation) I could find the exact place in her study. But I was very struck by that. As I recall Pharoah hardened his heart and God permitted it--rather than causing it according to Frances Hogan.
Thanks AED, I don't have a Bible to hand, but as I recall it, YHWH either hardened Pharaoh's heart or caused it to be hardened.
I don't know who wrote it but it was described here before - "the perfect/total possession". As a counterpart to being "filled with the Holy Spirit". Jesse Romero also mentioned it in connection with some brutal criminals he had met. If you remember Jeffrey Epstein and his occult orgy island, it certainly makes clear that there are sin-filled and probably possessed people within the elites. The Antichrist will arise from ashes it was said here recently in a thread. For it the Prince of this world tempts people with money and power in such a way that his followers cause chaos. When the chaos is great enough (probably shortly after The Warning), people will be most receptive to a strong leader. Then the Antichrist will appear and make some things a little more pleasant. And because he is a disciple of the master of deception, the improvement will of course be only an apparent one.
Maybe a better way of describing Pharoah would be in St Paul's words. God turned them over to a reprobate mind. In other words He stopped calling to them and this absolute hardening of heart took place. She maintains the same thing is happening now in the Church and in the world.
I think that Pharaoh directly knew the true God through the people he had enslaved for years; and unlike many pagan peoples he had the chance to reject paganism until he became an instrument of liberation and conversion for Israel.
Several different places in Exodus say that Pharoah hardened his own heart, but the words used here indicate that God is working in this process of choice, and God has the final say. He is the ultimate victor, no matter what. Just as God used Jesus as victor, Jesus who was predestined from the beginning, even before Adam's fall.
The current "liturgy wars" seem to confirm this, imo. Things will be very different....This gospel passage has been on my mind the past few weeks...Then the rumours last week about a certain document.....And all the emphasis on "the poor" the past years has always seemed a bit condescending to me. People of good will help the poor anyway. Is the Church close to her "Palm Sunday"? idk, but I do believe all will be made new once again.. Mark: 14:5 For this ointment might have been sold for more than three hundred pence and given to the poor. And they murmured against her. 14:6 But Jesus said: Let her alone. Why do You molest her? She hath wrought a good work upon me. 14:7 For the poor you have always with you: and whensoever you will, you may do them good: but me you have not always. ~~ Keep your lamps full
In the Douay-Rheims has this explanation: [21] And the Lord said to him as he was returning into Egypt: See that thou do all the wonders before Pharao, which I have put in thy hand: I shall harden his heart, and he will not let the people go. [21] "I shall harden": Not by being the efficient cause of his sin; but by withdrawing from him, for his just punishment, the dew of grace that might have softened his heart; and so suffering him to grow harder and harder.
I think that the Ukraine is on its last legs, militarily. Zerensky has been appealing to the world today (via Davos!) to act quickly to bail him out and his Interior Minister has been killed in a helicopter crash. We might now be entering a very dangerous moment.
You are right AED that God gave Pharaoh and the Egyptians so many chances. However, I do think that because the cup of iniquity having been filled up, there came a tipping point where God was not simply allowing Pharaoh to be stubborn, but He was actively intervening to make him stubborn so that His plan of salvation could unfold. My own Bible (The New Jerusalem Bible) says: 'Yahweh then said to Moses "... But I myself shall make Pharaoh stubborn" ...' Here is the longer paragraph from the Douay Rheims Bible: Exodus 7 1And the LORD said to Moses, “See, I have made you like God to Pharaoh, and your brother Aaron shall be your prophet. 2You shall speak all that I command you, and your brother Aaron shall tell Pharaoh to let the people of Israel go out of his land. 3But I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, and though I multiply my signs and wonders in the land of Egypt, 4Pharaoh will not listen to you. Then I will lay my hand on Egypt and bring my hosts, my people the children of Israel, out of the land of Egypt by great acts of judgment. 5The Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD, when I stretch out my hand against Egypt and bring out the people of Israel from among them.” Again in Exodus 9: 12 it (NJB) says: 'But Yahweh made Pharaoh stubborn, and as Yahweh had foretold to Moses, he did not listen to them.' In Exodus 10:1 it says 'Yahweh then said to Moses, "Go to Pharaoh, for I have made him and his officials stubborn, to display these signs of mine among them".' And in Exodus 10:27, "But Yahweh made Pharaoh stubborn, and he refused to let them go." In Exodus 11:9-10 Yahweh then said to Moses, 'Pharaoh will not listen to you, so that more of my wonders may be displayed in Egypt'. Moses and Aaron worked all these wonders in Pharaoh's presence, but Yahweh made Pharaoh stubborn, and he did not let the Israelites leave his country.' In Exodus 14:8, Yahweh made Pharaoh king of Egypt stubborn, and he gave chase to the Israelites. So, as I said above, and perhaps it is a subtle point, but I do find it very striking and believe that God can use people, good or bad, for His own purposes. God used Balaam to bless Israel. Balaam had intended to curse Israel, but lo and behold when he opened his mouth he pronounced a blessing upon Israel. Perhaps as Padraig has said previously, God either allows people or causes them to double down on evil deeds because he wishes to place them deeper in hell. I do not like to think of that, however, and I am not saying that God does not give everyone the necessary graces to be saved. Perhaps God is hardening the heart of Putin or others so that Russia will be a chastisement upon us.
I'm not sure Putin is the one with the hard heart. My take on it is that it is the West that has hardened itself against God and Russia might be about to become His Hammer. While the West treats baby murder as a sacrament of satan and abuses children under the subtext of trans 'rights', Russia has introduced child-protection legislation among its many other rejections of Western wokism. If this leads to a Russian advance towards the Atlantic, it'll be good enough for us.
