Acting in the National Interest

Do politicians typically act in the national interest?

Did the government of Ireland, when making the debts of the banks into the debts of the nation, do that in the national interest?

When the Irish politicians "coerced" the people of Ireland into voting for the European Constitution, did they do that in the national interest?

Did the Republican party when agreeing to continue funding Planned  Parenthood, do that in the national interest?

Did the kings of France when neglecting to consecrate France to the Sacred Heart, act in the national interest?

When the Popes and bishops of the world refused to consecrate Russia to the Immaculate Heart, whose interest were they serving?

When the Federal Reserve loaned billions to the banks of the world, whose interest were they serving?

When our politicians decide to "balance" the budget at the expense of the poor and the elderly, whose interests will they be serving?

The people of Iceland just decided to put national interest before the interests of the bankers!

Many of the people of the Arab world are deciding to put their interests before those of the dictators that rule them!

The interests of the people are served when the politicians serve the PEOPLE not the "Elite"!

If all the members of the Senate are members of the elite, how can the national interest be served?

We are living in the times described in the Apocalypse, (Revelation).

It is time to put our houses in order, especially our spiritual houses.

The national interest will be best served by each one of us asking whose interests are served when our politicians act or fail to act? In my opinion their actions stopped being in the national interest a long time ago.

"Learn a lesson from the fig tree."

"You will hear of wars and reports of wars; see that you are not alarmed, for these things must happen, but it will not yet be the end. "
"Nation will rise up against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; there will be famines and earthquakes from place to place."
"All these are the labor pains."

When the Son of Man Returns Will He Find Faith on the Earth?

Why did Pope John Paul II, soon to be Blessed John Paul, not order the bishops of the world to join with him when he consecrated the world to the Blessed Virgin in 1984?

Why did John Paul II not proclaim the Fifth Marian Dogma, recognising the Blessed Virgin Mary as Co-Redemptrix, Mediatrix and Advocate of the people of God?

Could it be that he was trying to avoid a schism in the Roman Catholic Church?

Why would John Paul II think that such actions could bring about a schism?

Is it because of what John Paul II, as Pope, read on the single page written by Sister Lucia containing the words of the Mother of  God?

Did the Blessed Virgin suggest certain behaviors of the Church hierarchy would cause a schism?

Was John Paul II restricted in his actions out of concern that a schism not occur on his watch?

How else can one explain why the most Marian Pope in recent history chose not to take two actions that could have given greater recognition to the role of the Blessed Virgin in the economy of salvation.

One can argue that the Fifth Marian Dogma would have made ecumenical relations with Protestants more difficult. That argument was advanced for the Fourth Marian Dogma but history has disproved the thesis.

My opinion is that following Vatican Council II many Bishops of the Roman Catholic Church became quite Protestant. As such, their view of the Blessed Virgin's role in the affairs of the modern Church is greatly diminished. This despite the words at Fatima, "In the end My Immaculate Heart will triumph."

The Blessed Virgin went on to say, "The Holy Father will consecrate Russia to Me, and she will be converted..." What does converted mean? Convered to Christian Orthodoxy or to Roman Catholicism?

Before the Bolshevik revolution and murder of the Czar, Russia was arguably the holiest country in the world. With the conversion of Russia, Catholic orthodoxy might have the greatest of allies.

If there is to be a schism within the Roman Church perhaps Orthodoxy may be able to help the faithful decide which side to choose, given the Orthodox Church was not a participant in Vatican II, (two Russian observers notwithstanding).

A Bishop Dressed in White

Sister Lucia said, "We had the impression that it was the Holy Father".

"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, and in the same way there died one after another the other Bishops, Priests, men and women Religious, and various lay people of different ranks and positions."

Sister Lucia received the Secret on July 13th, 1917. Despite commentaries to the contrary, could the vision refer to Benedict XVI, the current Pope?

What could possibly cause the Pope and those loyal to him to be so persecuted between now and 2017?

"When the third angel blew his trumpet, a large star burning like a torch fell from the sky.  It fell on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water. The star was called "Wormwood," and a third of all the water turned to wormwood. Many people died from this water, because it was made bitter." (Rev 8, 10 and 11)

Imagine if a part of the Fatima secret provides important deails of a 'star' falling from the sky?
Imagine these details are being withheld because there are other embarassing details about apostasy within the Church at the highest levels?
Imagine how people will react, inside and outside the Church, if Wormwood arrives and it turns out the Church had foreknowledge but failed to act on it?

Jesus said to Sister Lucia in August of 1931:
"Make it known to my ministers that, given they follow the example of the King of France in delaying execution of My command, they will follow him into misfortune."
Notice how Jesus uses the word, 'execution' of my command."

Exactly one hundred years before the French revolution in 1789, Jesus appeared to Sister Margaret Mary Alacoque giving her a message for the King of France, Louis XIV. Neither the Sun King nor his successors acted on the message and exactly 100 years later the monarchy was overthrown.
Jesus did not spare France even though it is the Elder Daughter of the Church.

The Roman Catholic Church is a monarchy. Could it go the way of the French monarchy between now and 2017?

The Third Secret of Fatima

Reading Antoni Socci's book, "The Fourth Secret of Fatima", one finds on page 89, the following quote attributed to Sister Lucia. It was an extremely rare public declaration in which she linked the third part of the Secret to the Apocalypse, (the book of Revelation).

"IT IS ALL IN THE BOOK OF THE APOCALYPSE - READ IT!"

She also indicated precisely Chapters 8 and 13.
Chapter eight refers to Wormwood, a heavenly body that may already be causing geophysical disasters here on earth.
Chapter thirteen describes the Beasts, freemasonry and eccesiastical freemasonry (tools of the Illuminati).

These are the great dangers facing humanity today.
The first, Wormwood, is physical and the second, freemasonry, is spiritual.
In six years it will be the one hundred year anniversay of Fatima - 1917.
Is it reasonable to assume all the events described in the Secret will come to pass within one hundred years?

Denial Revisted

On January 3rd, I blogged on the subject of denial. It had little to do with the Great Monarch directly but more to do with the events leading up to his appearance. In that blog I mentioned the economic crisis that has begun in France, suggesting that the crisis would not be confined just to France.

Well the crisis is much broader in just three months but denial continues to hinder our ability to see it. One aspect of the crisis involves the ongoing pollution of the Gulf of Mexico and the impact on the Gulf Stream.
A second aspect involves the nuclear disaster in Japan which threatens the lives of every person living in Japan and the surrounding countries.

In denial we have turned our back on the continuing problems in the Gulf and soon the media will remove the Japan story from page one.

It is twenty five years since Chernobyl. Current estimates suggest that nearly one million people have already died as a result of the Chernobyl accident. Despite the Cherobyl warning, we continue to build nuclear reactors because they are good business for General Electric and TEPCO, and a handful of other companies that are major campaign contributors.

In twenty five more years, when we are looking at ten or one hundred million dead from the Fukushima accident, will we still be in denial that what is good for business is not necessarily good for people?

In our hearts we know that we are all going to be affected by the Fukushima accident, some more than others, yet there is no public outcry.

Japan has one of the largest economies in the world. At this moment the Japanese economy is badly broken. Before the year is out all economies are going to feel the effect of the destruction of Japan. Can we not see that? Is the denial so great?

The Japanese problem is not just about what color you can order a Toyota. Japan is a key economy. One cannot pull the plug on Japan without the interlocking economies feeling it. Japan has experienced a serious population decline for decades. In the light of the Fukushima situation it may not be an exaggeration to say that Japan may be finished as a "first world" nation.

Is this an opportunity for the people of Japan to find God? Prosperity seems to be inversely correlated with belief in God. As the economic disaster deepens in Japan, it is possible that more people will turn to God looking for answers. Or will denial reign?

Iranian Video Says Mahdi is 'Near'

CBN News reports, "New evidence has emerged that the Iranian government sees the unrest in the Middle East as a signal that the Mahdi--or Islamic messiah--is about to appear."

"CBN News has obtained a never-seen-before video produced by the Iranian regime that says all the signs are moving into place -- and that Iran will soon help usher in the end times."

"While the revolutionary movements gripping the Middle East have created uncertainty throughout the region, the video shows that the Iranian regime believes the chaos is divine proof that their ultimate victory is at hand."

"The propaganda footage has reportedly been approved at the highest levels of the Iranian government."

"It's called 'The Coming is Near' and it describes current events in the Middle East as a prelude to the arrival of the mythical twelfth Imam or Mahdi -- the messiah figure who Islamic scriptures say will lead the armies of Islam to victory over all non-Muslims in the last days."

"The video claims that Iran is destined to rise as a great power in the last days to help defeat America and Israel and usher in the return of the Mahdi. And it makes clear the Iranians believe that time is fast approaching."

All the above and more can be found at cbn.com/cbnnews/world/2011/March/Iranian-Regime-Video-Says-Mahdi-is-Near

If you read my blogs for February 2nd and 3rd you will see that I was asking is he near? (I did refer to him as the thirteenth Imam).

How long before war between Israel and Iran?
Is either side willing to use nuclear weapons?
The Iranians want to occupy Jerusalem so I believe are less likely to use weapons of mass destruction if they have them.
I'm less sure of the Israelis.
Remember the prophecies claim the Mahdi cannot come until chaos reigns.
For some this means they must bring about chaos in order to usher in the Mahdi's coming.
Don't lose sight of the fact that the Mahdi is a Shia figure not Sunni.
