End times update
Four years ago I posted an article to the Catacombs section of betrayedcatholics entitled Spiritual TEOTWAWKI. The article explains the many links between the coming of Antichrist, the three days of darkness, an impending pole shift or EMP strike and the battle of Armageddon. For the battle of Armageddon to take place, the Euphrates River would first need to dry up, which over the past several years has indeed happened. This event would first need to take place so that armed calvary and military vehicles could cross through the dried (or nearly dried) riverbed, as prophesied in Apoc., Ch. 16. Now we see that American troops are being told that Pres. Trump reportedly claims he has been sent by God to fulfill prophecy and instigate the Battle of Armageddon. While this may or may not be true, it is interesting that all the indicators seem to be in place.
According to Apoc. 9:14, evil angels “bound in the great river Euphrates,” were loosed sometime in the past; Rev. E. S. Berry, in his The Apocalypse of St. John, surmises that this verse refers to the release of these angels at the end of the 1,000 years of binding, during the “pretended Reformation and the wars that followed it.” These captive or fallen angels are used as instruments of God’s judgment to punish earth’s inhabitants. According to Internet accounts, ancient cities have been discovered in the dry riverbed that were once buried beneath the waters. From one particular cave leading to tunnels beneath these cities some claim they hear cries and moans. But are the angels still bound, or could it be that they favor this location as a haunt and are anticipating the great battle? After all, they have not yet wreaked all the havoc they were assigned to create. Their most devastating blow is yet to be delivered in the final battle.
“The kings of the whole earth” are being summoned to participate in this battle (Apoc. 16:14). The forces of Antichrist and his system are summoning them, (Apoc. 16: 13). Those who will fight this war are all linked to the beast, false prophet and Satan himself, i.e., the continuation of the system begun by Roncalli and Montini even before the death of Pope Pius XII, an evil partnership with the Zionists, Masonry, spy ops worldwide and the money kings. The battle will trigger a great earthquake (man generated, a pole shift or possibly in conjunction with an EMP) and this most likely will result in the three days darkness. Anywhere from one-third to two-thirds of mankind will perish (Apoc. 9: 15, Zach. 13: 8). Antichrist and his followers will be destroyed. Rome will fall and Jerusalem will be divided into three different sections., (Rev. E. S. Berry). A certain time will be granted for penance before Christ comes for the Final Judgment.
Could it happen? Certainly. God often uses evil men to accomplish His designs. When will it happen? It is possible we could see this battle erupt during Holy Week. Christ announces through St. John In Apoc. 16:15: “Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.” Rev. Berry explains that this is a “…warning to the faithful to be prepared for the great conflict. They must guard well their garments of good works lest they be found without God’s grace in that evil day. Our Lord gave a similar warning when He foretold the destruction of Jerusalem: ‘Watch ye therefore, because you know not what hour your Lord will come’” (Matt. 24: 42).
But the battle could be postponed once again, and erupt at a later date as well. The goal of the Jews is to destroy the Dome of the Rock, held by the Muslims — the old site of Solomon’s temple — so that they may build a third temple and welcome their messiah. Yet several previous attempts to rebuild the Temple met with disaster and failed in the past. How does this fit in with today’s war on Iran? One missile already has landed very near the Dome, and “Christian” Zionist evangelists claim that the Dome must be destroyed so the third temple can be rebuilt. As one podcaster noted, all this because no one understands that Holy Scripture clearly states the promises made to the Jews have passed to the new Chosen People, the Catholic Church. But to understand where we stand in the light of prophecy today, we must first learn who the Jews really are and were and who true Catholics today truly are. Laura Wood’s Thinking Housewife site featured a good description of who the Jews were before Christ’s time and who they are today HERE. While the video does an excellent job of firmly separating the Chosen People as a group apart from Rabbinic Judaism, it is advised that everyone stop listening to this video the minute it launches into Vatican 2 teaching. And because it concludes with the false assumption that the church in Rome is the true Church, it misses several important points and fails to arrive at the proper conclusions regarding the true state of Judaism and Catholicism today.
What Is a Jew?
The word Jew first occurs in the book of 3 Kings. It later is mentioned in the books of Esther, Ezra and Jeremiah. It’s meaning is “men of Judah.” In Genesis, Judah is identified as the fourth son of Jacob and founder of the tribe of Judah and the Israelites. Judah and Tamar (his daughter-in-law and father of his two children) are the ancestors of the royal Davidic line from which Christ descended through His Blessed Mother.
The famous preacher and Bishop of Meaux, France, Jacques-Bénigne Bossuet, wrote in the 1600s: “There is among [the Jewish people] a type of drought which is unique to the Israelites, a drought which has been kept secret, and resisted for a long time, but which is no longer unspoken today and—what is even more serious—which no one is resisting anymore. In speaking of this drought, we mean to designate the disappearance—which is already very far advanced—of the traditions, customs and practices which essentially make up Jewish life… , just as initially, after the fall of Jerusalem, Mosaism had degenerated into Talmudism, so now Talmudism itself, with its remnants of Mosaism, is degenerating into rationalism or indifference—that is to say, into nihilism …”
In evaluating Bossuet’s observations, the twin brother priests who converted from Judaism, Joseph and Augustin Lemann, noted the following trends among the Jews of the 19th century:
- “a rejection of the supernatural generally;
- a denial of the divine inspiration of the Jewish Scriptures;
- calls for “free inquiry” in theological questions;
- taking pride in having no altar and no sacrifices;
- a refusal to acknowledge the traditional priesthood;
- contempt for the teachings of the Talmud;
- a refusal to engage in proselytizing or seeking converts to Judaism;
- a lack of respect for the kosher food laws;
- forgetfulness of the obligation to observe Shabbat;
- re-writing (“mutilating”) traditional Jewish prayers, to remove references to the Messiah, to Jerusalem, and to any type of national Jewish hopes.”
This is in perfect accord with a Pew research poll which shows that today: “…the majority of Jews consider themselves such in ethnicity, but not primarily in religion.” This releases the average Jew identifying as such merely by ancestry from any blame for the current situation and places it squarely on the Zionists. Seeing the above, is it any wonder, then, that a Holocaust had to be arranged and a Jewish state established in 1948 to stoke up the flagging spiritual coals among lax Jews? And given the Pew poll, is there any real evidence it has succeeded on a mass scale? Protestant evangelists have probably played a greater role in reigniting Jewish fervor than even Orthodox Jews. And the above only evaluates the spiritual state of the Jews; it does not question their identity as true Semites. Even if the Khazar/Ashkenazi controversy is laid aside and considered to be incorrect historically (which has not been proven, despite the feverish cries of the crusaders against antisemitism), the Jews today are at the very least a much watered-down version, blood-wise, of their Jewish ancestors.
Race or religion?
But racially pure Jews was not the main consideration. For God’s promises to the Jews to be kept, they were not to intermarry with anyone but their own within the boundaries of Israel, keeping their faith free from idolatry. This is not gone into in any detail in the video; the racial issue is generally ignored. And yet that is what is being stressed by the rabid antisemites predominating in the media, inordinately ignoring any real emphasis on what today’s Jews really believe. It is important to note that those Jewish religious officials objecting to establishing Israel as a state in 1948 did so on the premise that it emphasized the Jews as a race and a nation, not a religion. Interesting. As the video correctly notes, their religion is not the same today as in Christ’s time. And the Zionists are the modern-day Pharisees Christ condemned as liars and sons of the devil. In other words, the Pharisees were claiming to be Jews, but were not, since Christ sanctions them for perverting Jewish teaching.
The video is silent on the mention of the Jews in Apocalypse. But obviously, since all know we are living in the end times, this mention is what applies to us most specifically. Twice we read that there will be, in the last days, “those who say they are Jews and are not but do lie… but are the Synagogue of Satan” (Apoc. 2: 9 and 3: 9). We have observed before that Pope Pius IX called secret societies the Synagogue of Satan. (Now Protestant ministers on YouTube are identifying Freemasonry as the Synagogue of Satan and accrediting it to themselves as an interpretation of this verse, when it was Protestants in league with the B’nai B’rith and Jewish bankers who established Freemasonry in 1717). Even in the early Church we know there were “ungodly men” who had “secretly entered in,” (Jude 1:3). So we should not be surprised that they are yet with us, and that their numbers have grown exponentially. Today’s Zionists are the Pharisees of Jesus’ time and their synagogues are the dens of Satan found in all secret societies and satanic sects.
The objection to erasing the Semitic descendance of today’s Jews is that if it is indeed erased, then there would be no reason not to persecute those identifying only as ethnic or religious Jews. But this is nonsense. Christians are not allowed to persecute anyone for their religion, either, or for their ethnic origin. Muslims, on the other hand, have historically hated the Jews for their religion and exiled them from their countries. And based on that fact, it is not a stretch to assume that if they did develop nuclear weapons, Israel would be a target. Zionism has distorted passages of the Torah that both religions once claimed as a basis for belief and have also taken over predominantly Muslim territories. Zionists insist their brand of Judaism be recognized as the dominant religion in the Middle East, with no intent of co-existing with their neighbors, be it Palestine or Iran. They insist on recovering and ruling over the lands they believe God promised to them. They also have interfered with the hierarchy of Islamic religion. Iran and other Islamic nations are just as pagan and war-minded as the Zionists, but currently it is Zionism that is prevailing. So unless and until Zionists and their supporters are exposed for their satanic practices and beliefs, their war-mongering for centuries, their hatred of Christianity and the worldwide money cabal in which we are entrapped, there is no hope of any so-called “peace” in the Middle East or the world. Christ alone is the arbitrator of that peace and He will avenge His people in the end.
Vatican 2 and the Jews
Instead of using Vatican 2 to emphasize the fact that the Jews must not be persecuted, since the false council and false popes removed any suggestion of blame for Jesus’ death from the liturgy, those watching this video should instead be advised of how the birth of the Novus Ordo church is the mirror image of the reconstruction of Judaism following the destruction of the Temple in 70 A.D. Oh they still have the buildings in Rome; the exterior has survived so far. But the doctrinal content of the faith has been destroyed and apostolicity decimated. The observations made by the Lemann brothers about the Jews could just as easily apply to the Novus Ordo.
The church of the Old Testament and the promises made to the Chosen People ended with the coming of Christ as the true Messiah, and the transference of those promises to true Catholics throughout the ages. These promises now apply to those who profess belief in the Church as she existed prior to the death of Pope Pius XII. No better evidence of this transfer of these promises can be found than the following from Matt. 21: 42-45: “Jesus saith to them: Have you never read in the Scriptures: The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner? By the Lord this has been done; and it is wonderful in our eyes. Therefore I say to you, that the kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and shall be given to a nation yielding the fruits thereof. And whosoever shall fall on this stone, shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it shall grind him to powder. And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard his parables, they knew that he spoke of them.”
Conclusion
The age of the Catholic Church as an external, visible body ended with the coming of Antichrist, just as the Jewish religion ended with Christ’s coming. When the Jews seated one of their own on the throne of Peter as king, the Zionists who helped write the false V2 council documents and all of Judaeo-Masonry triumphed. Their high priest Paul 6, wearing ephod and teraphim reigned from the seat of their vanquished enemy. They called their new church Catholic just as the Jews called their Talmudic pagan religion Jewish. They boast of their continuing existence as prophesied: “I sit a queen and am no widow, sorrow I shall never see” (Apoc. 18:7). But the day is coming for their destruction as well, just as it came to the Jewish temple. Babylon the great, the very Babylon referred to by St. Peter (1Peter 5:13) is destined for the fall. It may well be that at the very time that Armageddon takes place, the seat of the great harlot riding the beast will be destroyed. It is the unanimous opinion of the Fathers and theologians, Henry Cardinal Manning tells us, that this shall occur.
We pray and watch. Please hasten Thy coming, dear Lord, and do not delay.
