I missed your earlier post about the prophesy of Islamist bow-and-arrow attacks, until now. Put it into my mind that it's plausible if you consider that the West has degenerated to this.
There was a woman CEO of a Medical Company recently who said that her company was making preparations for making Tampons for men. Who knows where we are? We are no longer in Kansas, Tutu. I think the bow is taken from the Q'ran as a total pledge to Islam, of complete unswerving loyalty. ﭶ ﭷ ﭸ ﭹ ﭺ ﭻ 3فَكَانَ قَابَ قَوْسَيْنِ أَوْ أَدْنَىٰ (so as he was at a distance between two bows (joined together), rather even nearer....53:9). The noun qab refers to the distance between the curved handle of a bow and the tight chord that releases arrows. This distance is estimated about the length of one hand. The expression qaba qawsain is based on an ancient Arab custom, according to which when two persons pledged themselves to firm friendship, each one of them would turn the wooden part of their bows towards themselves, but they would turn the chord part towards the other. In this way when the chords of their bows were joined together, this used to be regarded as the proclamation of proximity, love and affection at the time of which the distance between the two persons would be two bows' length - approximately the length of two arms or one cubit. The expression aw adna ('rather even nearer' ) signifies that the relationship of closeness was no ordinary one, it in fact was more intimate than could be conceived. The reason for the mention of such intimacy with Jibra'il (علیہ السلام) in the above verses is to confirm that the revelation which he delivered is indubitably and truly from Allah, and he heard it with absolute accuracy in every detail: There is no room for any doubt in this. This closeness and intimacy further allays the suspicion that the Holy Prophet ﷺ might have not recognized Jibra'il (علیہ السلام) and
I see they're planning to indite Trump for J6 giving him four days notice to appear before a Grand Jury. America draws closer to Civil War. This poor Planet has gone insane.
They want Trump jailed before the election. If heaven forbid this does happen, there may indeed be a civil war. Meanwhile we have a cocaine addict living in the White House. Twisted.
The main reason why we must take heed of people like Ralph Martin is that...well..he's a living saint. Such people by means of their Sanctity have a real Prophetic role. Is Cardinal Cupich a living saint? Is Cardinal Tobin a living saint? Is Cardinal Gregory a living saint? Well even their staunchest supporters would not, I think claim so. Is Pope Francis a living saint? Well many people have claimed so, even claiming far,far more than this, a few of them even going so far as to claim that He has Jesus Christ himself all beat out. But I don't think so. I'd trust people like Ralph Martin a hundred times more than I would trust any of them in the Vatican at the moment.
There is one great sign of heresy and that is the presence of sexual immorality. Time and time again in Cardinals and Bishops and priests appointed or supported by Pope Francis grave evidence of this. By their fruits you shall know them.
I remember reading about some venerable old priest telling a young priest "every heresy begins below the belt."
Imagine we were to hear that some great Saint, like, say, St Teresa of Avila, whom we trusted as a guide was immoral in her sexual conduct whilst teaching, what would we think, what would we do? A We would flee from them as we would a band of demons This is why I prefer the old ones. There are many many modern spiritual teachers. But with the old ones we know ourselves safe
It seems historically inevitable. I dare say if we were to retrace the life of Judas Iscariot we would find this
Ralph Martin is spot on as usual. My question is, is prayer the only thing we can do as lay people? I think we need to pray not only for this madness to end but also for the ability to “be creative and clever in doing good”, per Pope Francis words. The HolySpirit moved the laity of the 4th century to staunchly oppose Arian bishops sometimes to the point of martyrdom. There is probably more we can do besides prayer, and I pray the Holy Spirit will let us know what it is. In recent times, I can recall that Austrian young man who threw a Pachamama, which had been placed in the altar of a church in Rome, down the Tiber river. I pray the Spirit will inspire in us more gestures of that sort, that put these unfaithful bishops where they belong.
I can't think of much to do but pray. If there was anything else please God He will show us. The time may come, in fact Catholic Prophecy indicates it when a full False Church may be built. In those Dark Days , since good cannot be yoked with evil it will be time for more. But until then I suppose it's a matter of prayer and keeping our powder dry. I think the vast majority of Catholics have no idea what is brewing and coming down the pipeline. I can understand this, people just get on with their own very ;usy lives and trust the clergy and Rome to get on with things. We will see..
