“But the souls of the just are in the hand of God: And the torment of death shall not touch them. In the sight of the unwise they seemed to die: and their departure was taken as misery. And their going away from us, for utter destruction: But they are in peace. And though in the sight of men they suffered torments, their hope is full of immortality. Afflicted in few things, in many they shall be well rewarded: Because God hath tried them, and found them worthy of Himself. As gold in the furnace He hath proved them, and as a victim of a holocaust He hath received them: And in time there shall be respect had to them. The just shall shine, and shall run to and fro like sparks among the reeds. They shall judge nations, and rule over people: and their Lord shall reign forever. They that trust in Him shall understand the truth, and they that are faithful in love shall rest in Him: For grace and peace is to His elect.” (Wisdom 3:1~9)
“Then shall the just stand with great constancy against those that have afflicted them and taken away their labors. These seeing it, shall be troubled with terrible fear, and shall be amazed at the suddenness of their unexpected salvation. Saying within themselves, repenting, and groaning for anguish of spirit: These are they whom we had sometime in derision and for a parable of reproach. We fools esteemed their life madness and their end without honor. Behold how they are numbered among the children of God, and their lot is among the saints.” (Wisdom 5:1~5)

Blood Moons Over Fatima III
As Pertains to the Witnesses
Apocalypse Chapter 11
“And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and it was said to me: Arise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar and them that adore therein. But the court, which is without the temple, cast out, and measure it not: because it is given unto the Gentiles, and the Holy City they shall tread under foot two and forty months: And I will give unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred sixty days, clothed in sackcloth.” (Apoc. 11:1~3) Note: 42 months = 1260days
Rev. A.O. Boyer, the spiritual director of Little Rose Ferron (1902~1936) of Woonsocket, RI, described membership in the Mystical Body of Christ by the following three steps. First you must be a commandment keeper, you must be in the state of Sanctifying Grace. Then you progress to being an aesthetic, which means that you refrain from contact with anything worldly; parties, dances, R-rated movies, etc. Then you take the biggest step. You imitate Jesus by accepting suffering and being a pass-through for the Father's Love. Of course this fulfills the age old Catholic practice of 'offering it up'. Little Rose was a victim soul who bore the marks in her hands, feet, side and head of Christ's crucifixion and crowning with thorns along with His shoulder wound, and suffered that same crucifixion each Friday bleeding from her eyes as He did. She remained bedridden throughout her suffering, as her body was too contorted to even walk. The day that she died all of the outward signs of her stigmata disappeared. She died at the age of 33 in the same year that Jesus told Sr. Lucy of Fatima : “Make it known to My ministers, given that they follow the example of the King of France in delaying the execution of My command, like him, they will follow him into misfortune.” He was talking of their delay in consecrating Russia to Our Lady's Immaculate Heart, (now, over 100 yrs ago) comparing it to His own request to the king of France to consecrate his country to His Sacred Heart. Exactly 100 years to the day of His request, the French monarchy was ended by the French revolution and the then king literally lost his head!
In the Scriptures, St. John 2:20,21, Jesus told the Pharisees: “...Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up”. The Jews then said: “Six and forty years was this temple in building; and wilt Thou raise it up in three days? But He spoke of the temple of His body.” Of course, we all know that He did indeed raise His body up on the third day. This has to be the temple that Saint John was told to measure. If we meet the criterion that Father Boyer described, we then are a part of the Mystical Body of Christ, and can be measured as those 'that adore therein'. All those who are non-Christians, or who are baptized or professing Christians, who are in the state of mortal sin, are those who are not to be measured and are referred to as Gentiles! One of the greatest sin conditions in the Christian church today is practical atheism. Although these folks claim to have faith in God, their attitude towards sin shows in their thoughts, words and deeds. It's as though the Scriptures don't exist, or are for someone else. If they go to church at all it is only for show. They neither listen when they are there, nor open the Bible when they get home. Far from being in the Mystical Body, they are not even in God's shadow. To live your life as though there were no God, is to cozy up to the devil and pretend that he is not there. You are truly a Gentile who knows not God! This group is treading the Holy City under foot as we speak!
"JESUS CHRIST, YESTERDAY AND TODAY; AND THE SAME FOREVER." (Hebrews 13:8) In the Catholic Bible, 3 Kings 15:3~10, we read of the spiritual genesis of Asa, King of Juda, great-great-great-grandson of David. In chapter 15:4 of 3 Kings, it reads: (In spite of the anathema brought upon the kingdom of Jerusalem by Solomon) "... But for David's sake the Lord His God gave him a lamp in Jerusalem, (v5) Because David had done that which was right in the eyes of the Lord, and had not turned aside from anything that He commanded him, all the days of his life, except that matter of Urias the Hethite."
We can see from the above that God reserves the right to reward the posterity of those who are faithful to Him. In contrast to the above, the house of Israel, for their idolatry with the golden calves, produced no such good king. 3 Kings 15:11 clearly states: "And Asa did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, as did David his father ..." 3 Kings 15:12~15 gives a listing of his achievements in undoing the sins of Solomon. In fact, 3 Kings 15:14 says: "But the high places (illicit altars of sacrifice to the True God that were not in Jerusalem) he did not take away. Nevertheless the heart of Asa was perfect with the Lord all his days: ..." The footnote for this verse defines "perfect with the Lord" thusly: "Asa had his faults; but never forsook the worship of the Lord."
If we look at the pre-Vatican II Popes: Leo XIII, St. Pius X, Pius XI, Pius XII, we can certainly see that in spite of the anathema of Vatican II being "another gospel" referred to by St. Paul in Galatians 1:8~12, God had every right to insert a good Pope amongst the post conciliar Popes. In fact, God gave Asa a rule and reign of "one and forty years" and gave Pope John Paul II a rule of 26 years, one of the longest in the history of the Papacy. (St. Peter's was between 34 and 37 years.) Please keep all this in mind as we talk about him as the candidate for the second Witness along with St. John the Evangelist.
As we said with David and Urias the Hethite, David was still considered "a man after God's own heart", and obviously an example for the other kings, and a reason for God to give Juda more good kings. If we human beings insist on judging our fellow man more harshly than even God does, with David being a perfect example, who can He give us to rule His Church?!
The following is a sermon given on March 1, 1989 in the Cathedral Church “SS. Nome Di Maria” of the Diocese of Rome by His Holiness John Paul II:
“The moral order, which comes from God, must rule our complete life. His Holiest Will must rule everything. In this is the unity of life. That is how Jesus teaches us; mankind cannot serve two masters, cannot serve God and mammon. Today mankind lives as if God doesn't exist, as if God was not the Creator and the Ruler of the Universe as well as Owner of all wealth and treasure in Heaven and on earth. People believe that all is due to their work and that they can claim all these things for themselves; they are even proud of themselves for their abilities which God Our Lord has given them, without Whom they wouldn't have them!
If man prefers another God and/or other idols, then he will despise God, he will even hate Him and for this he will go to Hell. Now, what is the reason that people go astray so easily; that they lose their way and get lost? It is the absence of respect, through this, man becomes impudent and proud. People claim everything for themselves, or they dare to presume on God's Charity. The way to Mercy can only be to defeat our ego, can only be the grace of humility, which the Lord gives His people only when they pray for it. The Lord chastens the ones He loves. The one who fears God, that means who has respect for the Creator of the Universe and of the Earth, that one will also give Him the honour that we all owe and he will love to take chastisement and punishment. (He will be a part of the Mystical Body!)
Soon we will have to contend with a new chastisement, which will exceed all previous punishments. Nobody will escape these chastisements! (he had read the third Secret of Fatima many, many times) Either they will lovingly accept and offer up what is happening to them, and will be redeemed immediately, (martyrdom in the state of Sanctifying Grace means you go straight to Heaven) like the the good thief on Jesus' right or they will be lost forever, if they rebel like the other blasphemous thief whose pride wouldn't let him repent.
The worst of all are the blasphemies about God's loving words which He keeps on sending down to this poor earth through His Mother and His Son. Therefore, outer forms of respect are necessary, because we must not forget, with Whom we will be Face to face. (at judgment)
Even in our human sphere, we know certain forms of politeness and when it comes to our dealings with God, we simply delete them? Therefore, once again, I warn you of all forms of infamy, like for example the forbidden communion in the hand here in my Diocese as well as standing during the many holy acts of the Holy Mass. Nobody knows any more what you celebrate together here at this place. It is nothing less but the death of Our Lord and Saviour, Whom you have to thank for everything. We have regard for human opinion, fear someone might laugh at us and are afraid of losing the advantages of their friendship, BUT WE DON'T FEAR GOD?! I haven't revoked what any of my predecessors have said about it: It happens on your responsibility, dear bishops of the foreign Dioceses and I pray for you, that you recognize before it is too late, how wrong your way is!
But at this place, my dear Priest and my dear Brothers and Sisters, there is only communion on the tongue while kneeling down that is allowed; everything which is imported and spread by foreigners is forbidden.
I say this to you as Your Bishop!”
It is patently obvious after reading this sermon, that Pope John Paul II was using his position as Bishop of Rome to say things that he couldn't get away with as Pope from the chair of Peter because of the strident opposition and subterfuge of His Cardinals and Bishops. He was obviously trying to bring the documents of Vatican II back into line with the traditional teachings and the Deposit of Faith pre-Vatican II. He used that which was promulgated during Vatican II to curb the power of the Papacy as his weapon to wage the only war that he could, by using 'collegiality' to exercise his Episcopal rights as any other Bishop had a right to. This is a true synopsis of being in the Mystical Body of Christ. How firmly did he believe this, including going back to giving God the kind of loving adoration and reverence that He deserves by receiving Communion on our tongues, on our knees, from the priest! If you would like more proof, check out Redemptionis Sacramentum of April 23, 2004, his last encyclical which was published on the internet first by Spirit Daily and within a few weeks erased!
Contrast this with the most recent gambit by Francis I to neuter the Papacy and the Church. He searched the Diocese of Rome for candidates to pre-load a gun to the heads of the Bishops now gathered in Rome for the extraordinary synod on the Family. He rounded up couples who were 'living in sin' according to Jesus in St Matthew 19:3~12. They were people who were cohabiting and who had had ample opportunity to be sacramentally married previously. He brought them there to be sacramentally married, without requiring confession or that they leave their sin for a time to prove their sincerity. To receive a sacrament in the state of mortal sin is a sacrilege! The Bishop of Rome is promoting sacrilege, and setting the example for Bishops or their priest-designates to do likewise. This was just ahead of the 'extraordinary synod' of the Family where they will discuss and no doubt approve, the new fangled Francis I doctrine of 'graduality' in which divorced and remarried couples will be allowed to do a certain penance after presumably receiving absolution, and then return to the sacraments, even though they will continue to live in what Jesus in St Matt. 19 says is adultery! He is not even concerned with Vatican II, he is plowing new ground, and again promoting mortal sin and sacrilege...Lord have Mercy for this and the mortal sin abuse of the Papacy by his example!!! This is how he intends to bring the sinners back to Christ and His Church... gradually, by letting them stay in their sin, for now... His proponents have the nerve, the unmitigated gall to say that Jesus treated sinners this way! Jesus, who said to the woman that He saved from being stoned for adultery, “Go and sin no more”!
“These are the two olive trees, and the two candle sticks, that stand before the Lord of the earth.” (Apoc. 11:4)
The teachings of the 'One, Holy Catholic, and Apostolic Church state that there is a “Channel of Grace” which operates to the salvation and sanctifying of It's members. (See St. Matthew 16:18ff and note that sede-vacantism calls Jesus a liar when He declares that the gates of Hell shall not prevail against It, His Church. If the Chair of Peter is empty, then there are no Graces coming into the Church! If that is so, every sacrament confected since that became true is null and void...NO Graces, the gates of Hell have prevailed against the Church. With NO valid sacraments, everyone born since the election of John XXIII is doomed to Hell! NO Baptism. Anyone who has had the sad fate of falling into mortal sin cannot get absolution, everyone who thinks they are married is living in mortal sin etc. (If this is really true, why do we not have a veritable planet of demons?!) It states that all Grace enters the world through the Pope of this same Church. From him it flows to the Bishops and to the Priests and then to the Laity of that Church, and then to the entire world. The Hierarchy and members of that Church are Gods instruments to spread the Grace of that Faith to the rest of His creatures and to evangelize them by their love, if they won't accept it any other way. The meaning of this Scripture has it's beginning in Zacharias 4:11~14: “And I answered, and said to him: What are these two olive trees upon the right side of the candlestick, and upon the left side thereof? And I answered again, and said to him: What are the two olive branches, that are by the two golden beaks, in which are the funnels of gold? And he spoke to me saying: Knowest thou not what these are? And I said: No my lord. And he said: These are two sons of oil who stand before the Lord of the whole earth.” (These are the ones that hold referred to in 2Thessalonians 2:7) In the 'Holy' of the temple at Jerusalem, there was the seven 'beaked' lamp upon a golden candlestick that foreshadowed the messiah, Jesus. Each of the “beaks' contained a lamp of olive oil and a cloth wick which was kept continuously by the Levites. These olive trees represent the fuel for the seven lamps which seem to have foreshadowed the seven sacraments. By definition, a sacrament is an outward sign, instituted by Christ to give Grace. That would make these two olive trees Popes! The olive oil is the graces that come through the Pope to the seven sacraments which give Christ's Light to the world. Certainly not the two popes of today who seem to be the Masonic aproned individuals which St Anna Catherine Emmerich saw with the blueprint to destroy the Church brick by brick. But rather the last true Pope of this era and the Pope of the New Era. They are trying to rebuild and preserve the life of the Church so that it can make it into the new era.
Consider this excerpt from “Windswept House” by Fr. Malachi Martin, Vatican insider and confidant of Pope John Paul II concerning the 'Slavic Pope':
“It's just possible that from the very beginning of his pontificate, it was already over. It's possible that the seeds of apostasy had already been sown and were already flourishing. It's possible that Christ had already given up on this version of the churchly organization. It's possible that, like Peter, this Pope was chosen by the Holy Spirit more for his weakness than for his strength. More for his lack of understanding than for his wisdom. More for his love for Jesus than for his understanding of what sort of kingdom Christ intends His creatures to build. Perhaps the Almighty has had enough of all the corruption, in other words. Enough of this generation. Perhaps we're all destined to be replaced by a new generation. (the New Era?) Another race of Catholics. A better, truer, cleaner race. It's just possible that the Slavic Pope is in truth the last Pope of these Catholic times. And it's just possible that he knows it. That he has known it all along”.
And what about the Pope of the new Era? Genesis 6:5~9 may well prophesy what type of man he is since in Matt. 24:37~39 Jesus tells us: And as in the days of Noe, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, even till that day in which Noe entered into the ark, And they knew not till the flood came, and took them all away; so also shall the coming of the Son of man be”. This is an exact description of our present day! And in Genesis 6... “And God seeing that the wickedness of men was great on the earth, and that all the thought of their heart was bent upon evil at all times, It repented Him that He had made man on the earth. And being touched inwardly with sorrow of heart, He said: I will destroy man, whom I have created, from the face of the earth, from man even to the beasts, from the creeping thing even to the fowls of the air, for it repenteth Me that I have made them. But Noe found grace before the Lord. These are the generations of Noe: Noe was a just and perfect man in his generations, he walked with God.” What is going to happen on the other side of the 4th blood moon?!
We all know at least a little of the story of Noe. “He was a just man in his generation”. Did he not become the progenitor of the new era that began after the flood through his children? Did he not then go from one era to another in a vehicle that foreshadowed Elias' burning chariot? Can this not be considered a type of translation? It is guessed that the two witnesses of Apocalypse 11 are to be Henoch and Elias precisely because they were known to be translated. Moses himself was left by himself on top of Mt. Nebo and was never seen again until on top of Mt. Tabor he appeared to Peter, James and John during Jesus' Transfiguration. Was he translated? Is that why no one has been able to find his remains. There are no first class relics of St. Joseph, or Padre Pio. Were they translated? God is not limited by time or space. It is His prerogative to decide who He will use as the Pope of this era, witness and or who He will use for the Pope of the New Era, witness. When you read verses 5 and 6 in Apoc. 11, one could almost picture the witnesses as Moses and Aaron! The major difference shows up in verse 7 when they are killed and their dead bodies left in the street for all to watch and party over on satellite TV. They are ecstatically happy over the death of the two who tormented them that dwelt on the earth. (v10)
Why is it that all of the 'good guys' who serve God end up dead? Was there a more convincing way for God to show His love and commitment to mankind, His creation, His creatures, than to give up His life of ease, adoration, glory and honour, esteem and respect, along with His omnipotence in Heaven, His Kingdom? (His first death?) And then to live a life of obscurity for thirty years in Satan's Kingdom where “He was in the world, and the world was made by Him, and the world knew Him not. He came unto His own and His own received Him not! Even though “as many as received Him to them He gave power to become sons of God, to them that believe in His Name, who are born not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.” (John 1:10~13) We who meet this description, who are members of His Mystical Body, know Him to be the Son of God, first and foremost before being the Son of man. If we too are to become the sons of God by receiving Him, then how better can we express our love and commitment to Him than to imitate him in our deaths—staying away from the world, the devil and the flesh, our first death, and like him suffer a second death in our very own type of martyrdom/crucifixion. He died for love of us, we should be willing to die for love of Him. Don't we celebrate Romeo and Juliet for something similar? A very basic human truism is that there are some loves worth dying for, our country, our family, our homes, our ideals...why not our God and Creator, our Saviour and Redeemer, our Sanctifier?!!!
Let's go back to that conversation between Father Slattery and Father Gladstone in Windswept House and see how they solve this riddle. “Suppose what you say is true, Damien. Would that give His Holiness the right to let so many good men like yourself go down to ruin? Does he see that as Christ's Will? Or is he just taking a big gamble with other people's lives? Fr. Slattery answers: “I expect he thinks what I think about Christ's Will. If good men are going down, God must be allowing it to happen, in fact, just as He willed the Crucifixion. And for the same reason. There's always a serious discrepancy between God's priorities and the priorities of the world. It's out of just such suffering that He brings greater benefit than you or I or the Pope or anyone else can begin to imagine”.
God tells us through the prophet Isaias that His ways are not our ways! Can you imagine what Our Heavenly Father will say to those who have imitated His son in His magnanimity, even to dying for our belief in Him? We certainly can see that Our Heavenly Father is a God who rewards. Jesus, being God and man, ascended into Heaven by His own Divine power after having died such an ignominious and cruel death on the Cross, God, Our Father exalted Him above every other. We do not have Divine power to order our bodies to not only resuscitate but also to ascend into Heaven as Jesus did. The Eternal Father didn't let that stop Him from exalting these two witnesses in at least a similar fashion. He ordered their bodies to receive back the breath of life so that the very ones who were gloating over having gotten rid of them were absolutely astonished at their coming back to life, but imagine how they reacted to the voice and then the cloud in which they were ordered to “Come up hither”. I'll bet that all of them had 'water running down their knees'.
The first 300 years of the Christian Church were marked by countless deaths, imprisonments, tortures, confiscations, dismemberments, and even with human torches and little girls eaten by snakes as a parody of the garden of Eden. What was this all about? These people had either witnessed Christ's death themselves, or had heard from credible witnesses of how he was beaten, scourged, made to carry His own cross and then nailed to that ignominious piece of wood. Some froze to death on winter hardened lakes, some were among those assigned to do the martyring, and were so taken by the 'to die for' love of their victims that they put down their arms and joined them, especially when they witnessed their smiles and their singing. This is the legacy that Jesus left behind fueled by His own example, His own love. The modern day church in Rome is working very hard to change this ethos that has provided the martyr's blood that has nourished and watered the Church for all these years. If you don't want to muddy up your sex life with the hassle of children, here is Humanae Vitae. If you don't want to stick out on Holy Days of Obligation, we'll allow you to fulfill them on your usual Saturday/Sunday outing instead. If you don't want to be called 'fish breath' like millions of Catholics before you who abstained from meat on Fridays to give due thanks to Jesus for His death on the Cross, on Friday, we relieve you of the obligation. Don't want to miss out on Saturday night parties/drunks, or Sunday morning golf outings, we'll set up Mass on Saturday afternoons. Feel embarrassed at having to tell the priest/a persona Christi your sins, we'll let you come only during Lent, but never during Holy Week, sit down, think about your sins, receive blanket absolution and remain anonymous. Can't be bothered to help the poor, visit the sick, help the infirm, don't worry, there are civic and civil organizations to do that, evangelization isn't a prerequisite, besides, we have done away with the corporal and spiritual works of mercy. Forget about that whatsoever you do.....business. The real and true meaning of Christianity—imitating Christ is passe. We have re-defined it to mean that sin no longer exists, and so we have given Jesus a sort of Santa Claus makeover. After all, Jesus started the 'Law of Graduality', IE. Jesus is taking me at my own speed! Will you ever get there, or will you die and go to hell before you get your soul in the right shape to merit Heaven?
Let's take a look at this picture in light of Scripture. Just what do you think these two witnesses will have to say to the world that will put it into ecstasy when they are killed? What can two men do to 7.2 billion people to 'torment' them so badly? Apocalypse 13 gives us some clue. The second Beast comes “up out of the earth and has two horns like a lamb, and he spoke as a dragon”. (v 11) The Lamb of God is none other than Jesus Our Saviour. The Miter of a bishop is said to be shaped like the two horns of a lamb. Since the post-conciliar Church has done away with the Tiara or triple crown of the Pope, he now wears a Miter signifying his collegiality, or same level status with the other Bishops, it could very easily be Francis I as Bishop of Rome. He takes this so seriously that he has never moved into the Papal apartments. Instead, it takes a whole army to protect him in a hotel—certainly not a cost-saving non move. Everything in chapter 11 seems to indicate that the antichrist AKA the fourth beast of Daniel Chapter 7 and Beast #1 in chapter 13, keeps his anonymity until after the witnesses are killed by his minions. (See Dan. 7, and all that pertains to the fourth Beast, especially vs 23~25 , that he devoured the whole earth and therefore is a composite of all all the Beasts of Dan. 7 and then compare to Apoc. 13:1~7. They are the same person and both are after the saints.) If you look at vs 5,6 in chapter 11, you will see why the antichrist would be afraid...he wants to live! The second beast of Apoc. 13:12~17 is his front man, after all who would want to hurt a Pope especially with the ancient curse on whoever kills a Pope...DEATH. Look at all he is given the mandate and power to do to the Saints!The Saints know that if they change allegiance from Jesus to Maitreya, they will be stricken from the Lamb's book of life FOREVER!
If you think that this is far fetched, look at your newspaper, watch the nightly news, see how tickled the LGBT is at the events of the Extraordinary Synod of Bishops, then look at Leviticus 20:13. Learn of Francis' affinity for atheists, (The fool said in his heart: There is no God. Psalm 52:1) gays, Muslims, Jews, the Evangelicals. He is willing to do away with Jesus Christ, by usurping His power and authority to cut Him out of the picture! Jesus says no divorce and remarriage and Francis says that not only can they be remarried, but they can be forgiven for their deliberate mortal sin and go back to the sacraments with no amendment of the sinful situation required. Read again Daniel 7:25 “And he shall speak words against the High One, and shall crush the saints of the most High: and he shall think himself able to change times and laws, and they shall be delivered into his hand until a time, and times, and a half a time.” Just think, we have another 2 years to put up with him before the end! From what we have already mentioned, will we be able to outlast him?
If it were only him, we might be able to isolate the problem and go on. On two occasions in the last 8 months, a program named Nightline showed a very shocking and informative view of the Vatican and Rome as well. In Her message to Melanie Calvat, Our Lady of LaSalette told Melanie: “Rome will lose the Faith and become the seat of the antichrist”. We can conjure up all kinds of images of ghoulish characters as to what this means. In the book 'Windswept House', we read of the enthronement of Lucifer on June 29, 1963 the feast of Sts. Peter and Paul in the Chapel of St. Paul at the Vatican. If I had doubts, this program convinced me. They showed proof of a whole hoard of homosexual priests, bishops and cardinals in Rome itself and in the surrounding towns. These were careerists who work in the various Vatican consistories, supposedly to keep the 'celibate atmosphere'. One of the undercover reporters took a video with his smart phone at a Gay party that he had been invited to by one known to be a homosexual priest, and then again at the quarters of this priest where several homosexual prostitutes had been hired to spend the night. After this night in which the priest spent the entire night with two of these prostitutes in his bedroom, the priest calmly went through the motions of setting up and vesting for Mass!!!! His explanation was that what he did in his bedroom was him the man, and what he did at the altar was him, the priest!!! This form of homosexuality is certainly Satanic. Would you like to receive communion at his Mass? In 'Windswept House', the Satanists called Jesus the “Nameless Weakling”, in today's Rome, they live out that blasphemy. This is a whole new religion, with 'wolves in sheep's clothing'. If you were to read Ezechiel chapter 34, you could see this new religion, in it's essence, where the shepherds live off from their sheep, instead of guiding them to green pastures and fresh, clean and 'living' waters. These are members of Satan's priesthood, and not Jesus'. It is also accurately depicted in Apoc. 11:7,8 where we read : “And when they shall have finished their testimony (the witnesses), the beast that ascends out of the abyss, shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and shall kill them. And their bodies shall lie in the streets of the great city, which is called spiritually, Sodom and Egypt, where their Lord also was crucified.” As you can see, the antichrist does stay hidden till he knows that the coast is clear, that the time allotted in the Bible for the testimony of the Witnesses has expired. Another trait of Satan—he is a coward! The use of Sodom as in Sodom and Gomorrah is quite appropriate both from the abomination of their homosexuality, and from their single mindedness in their pursuit of pleasure. It is almost as if they have had a lobotomy, with their ability to separate the two personalities that they have become, and therefore, justify them both. As Alter Christus', they proclaim Jesus to be homosexual!!!!
In Saint Peter's first epistle, chapter 5 verse 13, St. Peter writes: “the Church that is in Babylon, elected together with you, saluteth you: and so doth my son Mark. (Saint Mark's gospel, is largely as he heard it from Saint Peter). This was almost as though Saint Peter was given to see the future and knew of the political atmosphere that would pervade Rome throughout Church history. There have always been human beings elected to the Papacy. This means that the Papacy has always been subject to the human failings of the occupants of the Chair of Peter. Some have been weak, some greedy some warlike, and some just downright bought or bought off. That implies that just like any other position of power the Chair of Peter has always been surrounded by people who want to usurp, buy, use, or extort that power. Be that as it may, since it is the first recipient of the Grace of God to this earth, we have God's promise of His loving vigilance over His Church from St. Matt. 16:18,19 which reads: And I say to thee: That thou art Peter; and upon this rock, I will build my Church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. And I will give thee the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven. And whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth, it shall be bound also in Heaven: And whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth, it shall be loosed also in Heaven.” (The Aramaic for Peter is Cephas which means simply rock) And again in St. Matt. 28:20: “Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and behold I am with you all days, even to the consummation of the world.” The bolding is both for the separated brethren of the Orthodox, and the separated brethren of the Sede-Vacantists. Fortunately for us, one of the basic tenets of our faith is that God holds the Faithful harmless from the state of soul of the clergy as long as we do not follow them in their error. For example, if we do not know of the 'intent' to consecrate of a certain priest, or that he just spent the night with two male prostitutes, we sin not, and He will give us the graces as if we had received a valid Eucharist. Implied in every sacrament, is that the priest/bishop/cardinal/pope intends for the sacrament given to have the effect that the Christ intended upon instituting it, and we have no way of seeing into his heart to validate his intention.
Remember that Saint Peter called Rome Babylon, and Our Lady of LaSalette said that Rome would become the seat of the antichrist? Also, remember that Apoc. 11:7~10 tells us of the absolute hatred that the people of the world have for these two witnesses. “And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast, that ascends out of the abyss, shall make war on them, and kill them. And their bodies shall lie in the streets of the great city, which is called spiritually, Sodom and Egypt, where their Lord also was crucified. And they of the tribes, and peoples, and tongues, and nations, shall see their bodies for three days and a half; and they shall not suffer their bodies to be laid in sepulchres. And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry: and shall send gifts one to another, because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt upon the earth.” If you have seen the movie “The Passion of the Christ”, and remember the scenes where Jesus is shown all beaten and scourged to the point where He is all one wound without visible flesh and the Jews cried out all the louder: “Crucify Him, Crucify Him! And let His blood be upon us and our children.” And then even in this state, they make Him into an even more pitiful public spectacle by forcing Him to carry His own Cross through the streets of Jerusalem and up Mount Calvary. All during this mournful spectacle, the Pharisees and Sadducees, and Lawyers, followed on their donkeys with that hateful, malevolent, smug, and self-righteous look on their faces. If you can picture this then you can have the proper perspective with which to evaluate the above verses. The only true way to evaluate this kind of attitude, is to call it Demonic!
Just what could these two Holy Men say or do to get the attention of the whole world in such a manner? It must be something aimed directly at their leader which puts their false sense of security in danger; something that humiliates this demonic leader in front of his followers, refutes his power, challenges him in an area in which he is vulnerable. Again, since these two are under God's protection: “And if any man will hurt them, fire shall come out of their mouths, and shall devour their enemies. And if any man will hurt them, in this manner must they be slain. These have the power to shut heaven that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and they have power over waters to turn them into blood, and to strike the earth with all plagues as often as they will.” (vs 5 and 6) The antichrist is already red-faced due to his inability to counter these threats, but there is something that he fears even more. Apoc. 12:12... “Therefore rejoice, O Heavens, and you that dwell therein. Woe to the earth, and to the sea, because the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, knowing that he hath but a short time.” The antichrist is in a real fix! Not only is he being taunted and tormented just by the very presence of these two witnesses who can destroy him, but he also has his boss now down on the earth, and he has great wrath. He is between the proverbial 'rock and a hard place'! There are several mentions in the book of the Apocalypse of waters turning to blood and other plagues. Were the witnesses responsible for this as they dictated the pace of these last 3 and a half years?
What could they be saying to his followers that scares and humiliates him? Let's go to Apocalypse 18 and find out. Let's take a minute first, to put the whole book in perspective. For the sports or news fans, this book could be called a simulcast. When Moses asked Jesus in the burning bush who he should say sent him to lead the Hebrew children out of Egypt, Jesus, Who is the Word Who expresses the thoughts of the Father, said: “Tell them, I AM sent you”. In Eternity, there is no past, no future, just an ever present NOW; thus, tell them I AM sent you. When John was caught up in the Spirit on the Lord's day he was caught up into created Eternity (God, being uncreated, lives in uncreated Eternity). You no doubt have heard the phrase that God knew the end from the beginning. This refers to the fact that He did not create in little chunks of time as we experience it, in minutes, hours, days, etc. but all of creation existed within the mind's eye of the Trinity and with Their FIAT, they spoke their total knowledge of it into time. Therefore, for them, all of creation is occurring simultaneously. This is the venue in which Saint John saw his Revelations, so all of it was happening at the same time. He had to break it down into understandable segments for us, his readers. In fact, when the manuscripts of the Jewish bible were found and translated, none of them had any punctuation marks and so Saint Jerome had also to break it down into understandable sentences, paragraphs, etc.
“And after these things, I saw another angel come down from Heaven, having great power: and the earth was enlightened with his glory. (Most likely the Pope of this Era, Witness, because he would be more recognizable than the one for the New Era. A good example would be Pope John Paul II, with all of his travels, and 26 plus years as Pope, he would undoubtedly be the most easily recognizable Pope ever!) And he cried out with a strong voice saying: Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen; and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every unclean spirit, and the hold of every unclean and hateful bird: Because all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication; and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her; and the merchants of the earth have been made rich by the power of her delicacies. And I heard another voice from Heaven saying: Go out from her, my people; that you be not partakers of her sins, and that you receive not of her plagues. For her sins have reached unto Heaven, and the Lord hath remembered her iniquities.”
The words in bold would enrage anyone who was sitting on the throne of Peter when said against him and his city/country. If this Pope were also the head of the one-world church, that would no doubt make his ire 100 times worse. If he had to explain it to his boss the first beast, it would make it just about incinerate him. Why would this be; the one-world church and the one-world order are two separate entities, aren't they? Did the United Nations not scold Francis and the Catholic Church for their record on pedophilia and demand that the situation be remedied, not simply bandaided? In the 1960's, there was a great scandal in Rome and the Church when what was thought to be a Red Brigade headquarters turned out to be a Masonic lodge. The membership roles included many priests, bishops and even some cardinals! Listen to this excerpt from “Windswept House” taken from a revered Masonic prophet, Frater Joachim Blumenhagen: “When the Masonic Temple shall shine over the whole universe, when it's roof shall be the blue heavens, the two poles its walls, the Throne of Peter and the Church of Rome its pillars, then will the powers of the earth...bequeath that freedom to the people which we have laid up in store for them...May the Master of this world give us yet another hundred years and then shall we attain that end...” Written in the 19th century! These are the same hundred years that Pope St. Leo XIII overheard Satan bargaining for!!!
In recent history, the Free Masons added another upper level to their hierarchy thanks to Alistair Crowley. He called it “Ordo Templar Orientis”. It has eleven levels, among which is the performance of a 'public homosexual act'. Hardly what the Boy Scouts give merit badges for! In Malachias 4:5, God says through the prophet: “Behold I will send you Elias the prophet, before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord”. In Luke 1:13~17 , the Angel Gabriel, speaking of one who would be called John to his father Zachary prophesied of John thusly: “...Fear not, Zachary, for thy prayer is heard; and thy wife Elizabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John: And thou shalt have joy and gladness, and many shall rejoice in his nativity. For he shall be great before the Lord; and shall drink no wine nor strong drink: and he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost, even from his mother's womb. And he shall convert many of the children of Israel to the Lord their God. And he shall go before Him in the spirit and power of Elias; that he may turn the hearts of the fathers unto the children, and the incredulous to the Wisdom of the Just, to prepare unto the Lord a perfect people.” And in John 1:21 priests and Levites from Jerusalem were interrogating him as to who he was...”What then? Art thou Elias?...” He, Elias, was known as the outspoken one who defeated all of the prophets of Baal. Perhaps they were still smarting from the incident in St. Matt. 3:7~10,12...”And seeing many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his baptism, he said to them: Ye brood of vipers, who hath shewed you to flee from the wrath to come? Bring forth therefore fruit worthy of penance. And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham for our father. For I tell you that God is able of these stones to raise up children to Abraham. For now the axe is laid to the root of the trees. Every tree therefore that doth not yield good fruit, shall be cut down, and cast into the fire. .. Whose fan is in His hand, and He will thoroughly cleanse His floor and gather His wheat into the barn; but the chaff He will burn with unquenchable fire”. Again in St. Matt. 11:13,14 Jesus says of St. John: “For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John: And if you will receive it, he is Elias that is to come.” (Isn't it interesting that one of the potential candidates for the position of 'witness', is John Paul II?! Who, himself testified to so many around the world?) St John the Baptist was also known to be quite outspoken when it came to Herod and his relations with his brother's wife. Can we not easily imagine these two witnesses speaking thusly to Maitreya and his army of Free Masons or Francis and his loving admirers among those who are allowed back to the sacraments while being allowed to stay with their adulterous partners? The antichrist doesn't need an army to get rid of the 'Jesus' people, all he needs is to let the witnesses speak and there will be plenty of people who will be willing to kill them when the time comes, just so they won't have to listen to them any more just like Herodius. (“And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry: and shall send gifts one to another, because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt upon the earth”.)
Daniel chapter 7:23 once again, tells us: “And thus he said: The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be greater than all the kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down and break it in pieces.” None of the other kingdoms depicted in Nebuchodnezzer's dream controlled, literally the whole earth and all of it's people and their souls! We are talking someone ...”Who opposeth, and is lifted up above all that is called God, or that is worshiped, so that he sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself as if he were God.” (2 Thess. 2:4) It is super important that you understand the significance of these two Biblical quotes in conjunction with what we have said previously about the New Era. There will be no rapture! There will be a new heavens and a new earth! God has done this before!! With Noe he spent 100 years building the Ark so that all could see and be warned and have time to join him. The first instructions on the structure of the Ark were: “Make thee an ark of timber planks; thou shalt make little rooms in the ark, and thou shalt pitch it within and without.” (Gen. 6:14) Were the 'little rooms' for animals? Don't you imagine that God wanted Noe to be able to take as many non-family members as possible and that He needed to invite them through Noe and the 'plan'. Ezechiel 18:30~32 puts it this way: “Therefore will I judge every man according to his ways, O house of Israel, saith the Lord God. Be converted, and do penance for all your iniquities: and iniquity shall not be your ruin. Cast away from you all your transgressions, by which you have transgressed, and make to yourselves a new heart, and a new spirit: and why will you die, O house of Israel? For I desire not the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord God, return ye(to Me) and live.” Imagine how Noe felt after being taunted, snubbed, and ridiculed for 100 years about his boat—they had never seen rain...”For the Lord God had not rained upon the earth;...But a spring rose out of the earth, watering all the surface of the earth.”! (Gen. 2:5,6). He then had to go in and tearfully tear out all those 'little' rooms to make room for the animals. Imagine also how upset God was that He didn't get even one to join Noe and his family! Was the fountain of water that came from the sky His very own tears? Once again, Apocalypse 20 tells us that there will be another new heavens and new earth. God will once again be using some kind of ark to transport those who will till that new earth, from this era to the new. Will you, be like those in 2Peter 3:3~7? “Knowing this first, that in the last days there shall come deceitful scoffers, walking after their own lusts, Saying: Where is His promise or His coming? For since the time that the fathers slept, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation. For this they are willfully ignorant of, that the heavens were before, and the earth out of water, and through water, consisting by the Word of God, Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished. But the heavens and the earth which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of the ungodly men.” (Remember, Our Lady at Garabandal showed the children a scenario where jumping into the water to avoid the heat made it worse!)
Since we have established that the two witnesses seem to be Popes, let's look at a scenario from Acts 12. This is the story of when Saint Peter is put in prison by Herod who found that his popularity ratings in the daily polls went up after he had Saint James killed. There was now a bounty on the heads of Christians, especially those known as Apostles. Perhaps if he had known that Peter was the chief among the Apostles and the Vicar of Christ on earth, he would have done as the Sanhedrin had done to Jesus and had his trial right then and there. As it turned out, even four files of soldiers couldn't keep Peter in prison if God, the One True God, had a mind to get him out . He, God could have done the same thing for Jesus, but it was His time. It only took ONE Angel to get the job done, and there were NO casualties! When Peter came out of the ecstasy that the Angel had put him in so that he wouldn't ruin the escape, he was already on the street that would take him to town. It is so easy to imagine our most recognizable of the two witnesses in the scene that follows. “...And considering, he came to the house of Mary the mother of John, who was surnamed Mark, where many were gathered together praying. And when he knocked at the door of the gate, a damsel came to hearken, whose name was Rhode. And as soon as she knew Peter's voice, she opened not the gate for joy, but running in she told that Peter stood before the gate But they said to her: Thou art mad. But she affirmed that it was so. Then said they: it is his angel. But Peter continued knocking. And when they had opened, they saw him, and were astonished.” (Acts 12:12~16) If this most recognizable witness were the one called Saint Pope John Paul II, people seeing him seemingly come back from the dead, would react in the same way. The Fatima Pope come back to once again do Our Lady's bidding!
That will be the fun part. With the surveillance techniques and electronic tracking techniques available today which will be augmented by the ever vigilant and vengeful Lucifer, waiting his chance, it is easy to imagine that much of that 3.5 years will be shortened so that the witnesses can be kept alive. Without Divine intervention, it is hard to see God making the tribulation period any longer than planting to harvest time in either of the hemispheres, especially if our prayers here at Fatima Revisited can have an effect. When the inhabitants of Sodom were treated so mercifully as to have the sulfur precede the fiery brimstone so that all of the oxygen was taken out of the air for a very quick and merciful death before they were subject to be burned alive, I expect no less mercy when the end comes for the the faithful who are left when the witnesses are taken up to Heaven. In fact, the vision which both Sister Lucy and Jacinta saw of “A Bishop dressed in White”indicates that God will mercifully allow a very quick and glorious martyrdom to take place within 3.5 days of the death of the witnesses ending with their (the witnesses') assumption into Heaven.
“After the two parts which I have already explained, at the left of Our Lady and a little above, we saw an Angel with a flaming sword in his left hand; flashing it gave out flames that looked as though they would set the world on fire; but they died out on contact with the splendor that Our Lady radiated towards him from Her right hand; pointing to the earth with his right hand, the Angel cried out in a loud voice: Penance, Penance, Penance! And we saw in an immense light that is God; something similar to how people appear in a mirror when they pass in front of it, a Bishop dressed in White, we had the impression that it was the Holy Father. Other Bishops, Priests, men and women Religious going up a steep mountain, at the top of which there was a big Cross of rough-hewn trunks as of a cork-tree with the bark; before reaching there the Holy Father passed through a big city half in ruins (Rome?) and half trembling with a halting step, afflicted with pain and sorrow, he prayed for the souls of the corpses he met on his way; having reached the top of the mountain, on his knees at the foot of the big Cross he was killed by a group of soldiers who fired bullets and arrows at him, (execution style?) and in the same way there died one after the other, Bishops, Priests, men and women Religious, and various lay people of different ranks and positions. Beneath the two arms of the Cross there were two Angels each with a crystal aspersorium in his hand, in which they gathered up the blood of the Martyrs and with it sprinkled the souls that were making their way to God”.
All that will be left after this will be solidly under the antichrist who will finally come out into the open to claim his victory now that the witnesses are gone and can no longer harm him...coward!!! We then begin to see things like in Apoc. 9:20,21...”And the rest of the men, who were not slain by these plagues, did not do penance from the works of their hands that they should not adore devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and wood which neither can see nor hear nor walk: Neither did they penance from their murders, nor from their sorceries, nor from their fornication, nor from their thefts.” All these who are left will die a horrible death and then go into the lake of fire, as St. Paul says in Hebrews 10:26,27 ...”For if we sin willfully after having the knowledge of the Truth, there is now left no sacrifice for sins, (no amount of Masses being said for someone who deliberately stays in the state of mortal sin will be able to keep them from going to Hell!) But a certain dreadful expectation of judgment, and the rage of a fire which shall consume the adversaries.”
