Some confusion exists to actually where we were martyred. 24 Feb. 27 April in some Menology, 25 Feb. in others, Roman Martyrology says we were martyred at Diospolis, Kemet, 284 A.D.



Claudianus with Saturinus, Primus, Flavianus, Asterius, Carus, and Satur. We were martyred in Africa, 25 Oct.; Faustinus with Catulinus with Salunus. Martyred in Africa, 23 April. (Probably the same Salunus, martyr in Africa, 24 April)



Claudianus with Victor martyred in Hieropolis. 24 Oct.



Claudius with Stephen. Martyred in Africa, 3 Dec.



Claudius, martyr in Africa, Kemet with Victorinus, 5 April



Claudius, Victorinus, Victor, Nicephorus, Diodorus, Serapion, and Papias of Kemet (251 A.D.), martyr. 31 Jan.



Clement of Alexandria, I am Titus Flavius Clemens. I lived from 150 A.D. to in or about 230 A.D. In my episcopate (administration of the church), I used Platonian philosophy and Christian theology to exegetically show the meanings of Christ crucified. From around 199 A.D. to about 202 A.D. I was headmaster of the famed Catechetical School of Alexandria.



I was a writer of Protrepticus, Paedagogus, and Stromateis. The latter I did not complete.



I taught that we Christians must find out, know, and then practice a moral Christian life, to reach perfection, and thus God.



I said that knowledge and faith were imperative to find out learn, live, and to understand, and thus follow God’s will.



Cleopatra and her son John with martyr Varus in Kemet (307 A.D.), martyr, 19 Oct.



Cluthus. (Clithis?), a physician



Codratus with Ruffinus, and Saturninus. Martyred in Hermopolis, 9 March.

We are martyrs who preached Jesus in Kemet, martyred in Alexandria, 18 Jan. (Probably the same as Collotus, Recumbens, Rastanus, Sarmatas, Proteas, Orion, Didymus, Plesius, and Aratus. Martyred by beheading for preaching Christ in Northern Kemet with Paul. 18 Jan).



Colluthus, Presbyter (Elder), likewise Possibly a duplicate name, but a Presbyter (Elder), in Alexandria, Kemet (Africa), who agreed to the deposition at Alexandria in 321A.D.in a synod of more than one hundred African Kemetian (Egyptian) and Libyan bishops of Heretic priest Arius and his wicked, irreverent henchmen. (One of the holy folk).



Comasius, martyr at Tiberiopolis (361 A.D. 362 A.D.), 28 Nov.



Comodus, Deacon Possibly a duplicate name, but a deacon in Alexandria, Kemet (Africa), who agreed to the deposition at Alexandria in 321A.D.in a synod of more than one hundred African Kemetian (Egyptian) and Libyan bishops of Heretic priest Arius and his wicked, irreverent henchmen. (One of the holy folk).



Concordia, and Secundianus, the bishop with Jacobus, Marianus, Marina, Heliodorus, Saturninus, and Silvanus. We were martyred in Africa. 6 May.



Copri, (the monk Copres), with Patermuthius (Petarpemotis), and Alexander, we were martyrs.



Copres, I am called the holy monk of the desert, 80 years of age, and a Presbyter (Elder). I walked across the Nile on occasion with water only coming to his knees. I prayed to God to give a fellow monk three years to amend the monk’s life for transgressions.



In front of a crowd, I argued with a Manichean heretic. The heretic was the better speaker. I devised a test. Both would walk into flames. The one not burned should be believed. I went through the fire unhurt. The Manichean tried to back out. The crowd through him in. He was burned, and thus chased out of the city.



I, Patermuthius, was a 75 years old, Kemetian hermit. I was originally a robber. My follower and converter, (Copri) and I were arraigned by Julian the Apostate. Torture weakened, we were thrown into the furnace with Alexander, a soldier who had converted. 4th century, 9 July, 17 Dec.



Copres, Presbyter (Elder), Possibly a duplicate name, but a Presbyter (Elder), of the (Africa) Mareotis area in Kemet, who agreed to the deposition at Alexandria in 321A.D.in a synod of more than one hundred African Kemetian (Egyptian) and Libyan bishops of Heretic priest Arius and his wicked, irreverent henchmen. (One of the holy folk).



Coprica, martyred with Victor in the Pentapolis, see 7 April

MEDJUGORGE MESSAGES



Message of December 25, 2008




"Dear children! You are running, working, gathering – but without blessing. You are not praying! Today I call you to stop in front of the manger and to meditate on Jesus, Whom I give to you today also, to bless you and to help you to comprehend that, without Him, you have no future. Therefore, little children, surrender your lives into the hands of Jesus, for Him to lead you and protect you from every evil. Thank you for having responded to my call."




December 25, 1986 (Christmas Day)




"Dear children! Today also I give thanks to the Lord for all that He is doing for me, especially for this gift that I am able to be with you also today. Dear children, these are the days in which the Father grants special graces to all who open their hearts. I bless you and I desire that you too, dear children, become alive to the graces and place everything at God's disposal so that He may be glorified through you. My heart carefully follows your progress. Thank you for having responded to my call."




Please keep THE POOR, THE HOMELESS in your prayers and sufferings




"We can actually come and adore Him like the shepherds; we can prostrate ourselves before Him like the Magi; we need no longer regret our not having been present at Bethlehem" (St. Peter Julian Eymard).




"This is the great reality of Christian history: Jesus, the sacred host, the Bread of life, in the midst of his Church. This is that brightest star which enables us to look forward with great confidence to the future kingdom of Christ. And as we bless and adore Jesus in the most holy Eucharist we wish to raise our hearts in trustful prayer to Mary, his sweet Mother, and our Mother too.



"So let us turn to her as our own dear Mother. It is she who bore and presented to the world Jesus, our Redeemer and Saviour . . . . We worship Jesus in the holy Eucharist: God with us! God with us!" (Pope Bl. John XXIII).



"Is not the enraptured gaze of Mary as she contemplated the face of the newborn Christ and cradled Him in her arms that unparalleled model of love which should inspire us every time we receive Eucharistic communion?" (Pope John Paul II, Ecclesia de Eucharistia, 54).




When was the first all night vigil?




Mother Teresa -
I think there is something that can make us live joyfully. It is that Jesus is with us and loves us. If each one of us would simply remember that God loves us and is giving us the chance to love others in that love not so much in big things but in the little things of life our countries could become full of God's love.




Meditations by Padre Pio - Live joyfully and courageously, at least in the upper part of the soul, amidst the trials in which the Lord places you. Live joyfully and courageously, I repeat, because the Angel who foretells the birth of our little Savior and Lord, announces singing, and sings announcing that he brings tidings of joy, peace and happiness to men of good-will. So that there is nobody who does not know that in order to receive this Child it is sufficient to be of good-will.




Archbishop Fulton Sheen -

True Faith is not popular with the ego



"How many people there are in Church on Sunday sitting in the first seat of the pew, who resent anyone asking them to `please move over.' They came to kneel before a cross, but they do not want one standing along side them. How many there are too who sing lustily the hymn.




`Were the whole realm of nature mine, That were an offering far too small.'




And, then, when the collection box is passed, they drop in a nickel. The fact is religion is popular only when it ceases to be truly religious. Religion by its very nature is unpopular - certainly unpopular with the ego"




St. Faustina's diary




December 23, 1936. I am spending this time with the Mother of God and preparing myself for the solemn moment of the coming of the Lord Jesus. The Mother of God is instructing me in the interior life of the soul with Jesus, especially in Holy Communion. It is only in eternity that we shall know the great mystery effected in us by Holy Communion. O most precious moments of my life! (840)




MEDJUGORJE DAY BY DAY
Dec 25 - CHRISTMAS DAY




On Christmas Day in 1989, Our Lady spoke of being a light for others:




Dear children, here is my Son in my arms! I would like to ask you to be a light for all in the year to come. I would like to call you again to live my messages, the message of peace, conversion, prayer, penance, and faith. Dear children, your Mother does not seek words from you, I ask for deeds. Your Mother will help you and she will give you the strength to persevere. And tonight I would like to tell you: Rejoice! (Visionary Prayer Group Dec 25, 1989).




And from Luke's gospel, the shepherds come to adore the Christ-child:



When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, "Let us go now to Bethlehem and see this thing that has taken place, which the Lord has made known to us".




So they went with haste and found Mary and Joseph, and the child lying in the manger. When they saw this, they made known what had been told them about this child; and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds told them.




But Mary treasured all these things and pondered them in her heart. The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen, just as it had been told to them (Lk 2:15-20).




Reflection:




Christmas is a season of light, the light of angels among shepherds, the light of a great star beckoning wise men, and in our own day, the multicolored lights of Christmas trees, outdoor decorations, and the bright glow from the windows of homes where families are gathered to celebrate.




Appropriately, today the Blessed Mother calls each of us to be, "a light for all in the year to come". Through living her messages, we have become changed people. The new peace and kindness in our lives attracts others who wish to share in these gifts of grace. In such a way, we have to become beacons of hope and joy drawing others to Christ.



Although our characters differ, and our personalities are unique, it is our many colors that form a harmony as Christmas lights on an evergreen. In the darkness, the glowing of the shinning lights is truly beautiful.
Application:
As Our Lady calls us to be a light for others by living her messages, let us pray for her special help today in doing just that.



FATHER MELVIN DOUCETTE
"I am at the door knocking"

Dear Friends,





"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things came to be through him, and without him nothing came to be. What came to be through him was life, and this life was the light of the human race; the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. A man named John was sent from God. He came for testimony, to testify to the light, so that all might believe through him. He was not the light, but came to testify to the light. The true light, which enlightens everyone, was coming into the world." John 1:1-9



Here is the message the Lord sent to Joseph. Jesus spoke to him in these words, "It is important that you believe that I come from heaven. I am the Word who was always with the Father and I am the Second Person of the Blessed Trinity. The Father created everything in heaven and earth through Me. All life comes through Me and this life is the light that enlightens every one of you. The light shines in the darkness and the darkness will never overcome it. John the Baptist came to testify to Me, the light, so that all might come to believe in Me. John was not the light but he testified to the light. I am the true light that came into the world.




In a few days, My brothers and sisters, you will celebrate My birth among you. I was born in Bethlehem many years ago but this celebration takes place everywhere in the world today. Only a few were present the day I was born but today millions even billions celebrate My birthday. You were not there when I was born because you were not even born. The celebration makes present My birth among you once more. This time I want to be born in your hearts. I want to live very close to you. I will come with My light and fill you with it.




Come, My dear friends, who live in every country of the world to celebrate My birth. Come with joy to receive Me and open the door of your heart. I will come in to live with you forever if you follow Me. I am at the door knocking. I love you."



Father Melvin




25 DEC TO POST



Messages to John Leary Dec.3-Dec. 17,2008



Wednesday, December 3, 2008



Jesus said: “My people, you have had some good weather so far, but snow and wind will be coming that could cause damage to your Christmas decorations. I bring the Light into the world, but Satan and his demons are trying their hardest to snuff out My Light of truth with their lies and the darkness of sin.



Be good examples of holiness to your children and grandchildren if you want them to keep their faith. You are not only suffering from natural disasters, but you are also dealing with financial storm clouds, and the threat of terrorist attacks.



The latest killings in India could be another catalyst for future confrontations with Pakistan. That whole region is experiencing constant wars and drug trafficking. It is hard to have the peace of Christmas when certain terrorists are planning more destruction. Pray that peace will prevail over these fighting factions.”



Thursday, December 4, 2008: (St. John of Damascus)



Jesus said: “My people, I am showing you these bales of hay so you could be reminded to put aside some food for the coming famine, just as you put hay aside to feed the animals. The canned foods need to be recycled, but the dried foods will last longer.



Be ready to share your food as it will be multiplied for the faithful who will be led to your door. Just as St. Joseph and My Blessed Mother had to go into hiding from Herod trying to kill Me, so My faithful also need to be ready to leave for hiding in My refuges. The evil one world people will persecute and kill those who worship Me, and My faithful who refuse to take chips in the body.



These evil ones are preparing for a one world government which will be given over to the Antichrist to start the great tribulation. You are living in these end times, and you need to call on My help to defend you against the evil ones who will be trying to kill you.”



Prayer Group:



Jesus said: “My people, there is power in My Real Presence that has healed people both physically and spiritually. During the tribulation My Blessed Sacrament will be even more powerful. You could even survive solely on Holy Communion. I asked you to bring My Host to various refuges to give them comfort in My Presence, and also I will protect you in your travels as My rays of Light will blind anyone seeking to kill you.”



Jesus said: “My people, all of the places, that have adored My Blessed Sacrament, will be places of refuge protection in the end times. My angels are always present around Me, even as you have placed your angel statues around Me.



These angels will protect you from the evil ones. Wherever you have devotion to My Adoration of My Eucharist, you will see a fertile environment for priestly vocations. Pray for more vocations to the priesthood.”



Jesus said: “My people, when people celebrated the first Passover Supper, they ate bitter herbs and unleavened bread as a food of haste. This is a foreshadowing of celebrating My Mass when you take Holy Communion which is also unleavened Bread.



You too will also be ready with food to leave in haste for your refuges when the great tribulation of evil will come upon you. Pray for My protection and thank Me for sending My angels to guard you against the evil ones.”



Jesus said: “My people, you have heard accounts of several stories when people with machetes tried to kill My adorers. In each case there was a miraculous intervention when they declared My Name, Jesus.



Then the persons dropped the weapons and fled. This is the power of My angels that guard My Host. In evil attempts to disturb Adoration of My Hosts, My angels can be invoked to protect you. Give praise and thanks to Me that you have these miracles to believe in My Real Presence.”



Jesus said: “My people, there are a good number of people who have difficulty in believing that I am fully Present in My consecrated Host. At times in history I have allowed such miracles to encourage the faith of My faithful, and to show unbelievers the reality of My very Presence in My Eucharist. Give praise, adoration, and thanks for these miracles that confirm what you have believed from when you were taught.”



Jesus said: “My people, you have experienced seeing Hosts appear on the tongues of some of My holy ones. This is another case when angels have been instrumental in distributing Holy Communion when there was no Mass.



This will occur again for My faithful when you come to My refuges where there is no Mass. In this way you will have your spiritual food every day when it will be multiplied for each of you. I will perform many other miracles at My refuges to supply all of your needs.”



Jesus said: “My people, come to Me, My people, and receive comfort and peace, for My yoke is easy and My burden is light. Those, who come to daily Mass and Adoration of My Blessed Sacrament, are drawn to adore Me and bask in the beauty of My love and My Light. You desire the joy of having your Savior intimately Present in your soul where you can have rest in My Spirit.



This joy and desire to be with Me will not be taken away from you, even when you will be tested by the evil ones in the tribulation. Only in purgatory will My Presence be denied to My faithful, but only for a time because even these souls are promised to be with Me one day in heaven.



Work to avoid committing any mortal sin that could break our relationship. But I have given you My sacrament of Reconciliation so your sins can be forgiven and grace can be restored to your soul. Concentrate more on your prayer life as you prepare during Advent for celebrating My birth at Christmas.”



Friday, December 5, 2008



Jesus said: “My people, I am showing you these waves, but they represent My waves of love that keep falling on all peoples. There are some that respond to My love, but others are even ignoring My callings. I give all souls every opportunity to know and love Me, but it is your free will that must acknowledge Me in seeking forgiveness of your sins, or you cannot be saved.



Christmas time is another time of My reaching out to everyone in peace and love, but still many refuse My love overtures. My faithful give Me praise and Adoration, and they are rewarded with My graces in their souls. I ask you to pray for all the rest of humanity that they may open their hearts to My love.



I do not want to see one soul lost, but all of those going to hell do so by their own free choice. Try to wake up all the souls around you to My love because their opportunity to be saved is slipping away in time. You can help convert souls, so make an effort to invite people to love Me. For every soul that is converted, heaven rejoices joyfully.”



Jesus said: “My people, you are in the middle of a serious recession that is hard to determine how long it will last. Heavy layoff numbers keep coming out every month. The biggest problem is that there is no justice or accountability for your leaders in trying to stop this down turn. The Congress people and stock market managers are the ones who have allowed the bad loan polices and stock shorting.



Yet they are being critical of the banks who made bad loans and the foolish people who took out loans that they could not afford. Billions of taxpayer dollars are being used to
shore up bad banks and bad loans, and only a small amount of this money was approved by Congress. Now Congress is trying to make the auto makers accountable for every dollar to be paid back of their loans. Where is the same accountability for all the money received by your banks and insurers?



How much of that money is being loaned out? Bailing out foreclosures for those who cannot afford mortgages is another bad idea. There is little justice in your financial situation because it is run by the one world people in the central bankers, and their plan is to bankrupt your country so they can take it over.



Even though some are talking of a quick turn around, do not be surprised to see a much worse situation than your leaders want you to believe. These evil ones see their opportunity for a takeover, and they will bring it about in their time. Be prepared to go to your refuges when you see mandatory chips in the body and martial law.”



Saturday, December 6, 2008: (St. Nicholas)



Jesus said: “My people, I have told you that the poor you will always have with you. Even more so in hard economic times more people are needing food stamps and going to food shelves for hand outs. Unfortunately, fewer people are giving to charities because of their own needs.



For those, who can afford to give donations to the poor, it should be part of your Christian responsibility to share your wealth with the poor. At your judgment you will have to answer for how much you helped feed the hungry, clothe the naked, and give shelter to the homeless. If you do this for the least of My children, then you will do this for Me in them out of love.



At Christmas time you are always giving gifts to your friends and relatives who will give you back something in return. Find it in your heart to share with the poor when you know that you will not get anything back but a thank you. Also, you can pray for the poor that they will find what they need to survive.”



Sunday, December 7, 2008



Jesus said: “My people, today you are seeing St. John the Baptist heralding My Way in the desert, as in the vision. In the desert, water is unusual to find, but it is the means that St. John used to baptize those who wanted to repent of their sins. Water is necessary for life in the body, and the cleansing grace of Baptism is life for the soul as well. Repenting of sin and changing any sinful lifestyles are what you must accept into your life if you wish to be one of My disciples.



As you move into the second week of Advent, prepare your souls with Confession and contrition for your sins. Be more fervent in your prayers and look for opportunities to help people more. As you look to buy gifts for Christmas, think also to help the poor in their needs. Remember how I was refused at the inn, and open your hearts to help people and greet everyone with Christmas cheer.”



Jesus said: “My people, all of My refuges will be as fortresses like a castle where there will be protection for My faithful by My angels. No matter how much the evil ones will try to destroy you, they will not be successful. My springs of water will heal you of all of your sicknesses. Your food will be multiplied to endure throughout the whole tribulation. Your shelters will also be multiplied to provide for everyone.



Have no fear of this time as you will be directed when to come to My refuges. Only those that stay in their homes could risk becoming martyrs for not coming to My refuges. I will even lessen their pain as they will become instant saints. Rejoice when you see the tribulation unfolding because you know that My coming is near.”



Monday, December 8, 2008: (Immaculate Conception)



December 8, 2008



Mary said: “My dear children, Eve was your first mother and by her sin she has brought the darkness of sin to all of mankind. The consequences of original sin are death, sickness, and the weakness to sin again.



I am the new Eve who was conceived without this original sin, and the Lord helped me to avoid sin in life as well so I could be a worthy tabernacle and Ark of the Covenant, while I carried Him. My own conception was the dawn of a new age and the beginning of a promise of salvation to mankind that would later be fulfilled in the birth and death of my Son, Jesus. I am your spiritual Mother given to you by my Son to St. John the evangelist and the apostle.



As Eve brought you death and darkness, so I have been instrumental in my Son bringing you eternal life and the Light of heaven’s open gates through Jesus’ suffering and death on the cross. Rejoice in my feast day and give thanks and glory to God for my Immaculate Conception, and Jesus’ salvation that He has brought to all of you.”



Jesus said: “My people, this experience in the vision of traveling fast down a dark, narrow alley is another sign of what you will experience in My Warning. The overwhelming Light and water represents how you will be overwhelmed with My peace and love when you all will come before Me individually.



I have asked you in previous messages to attend frequent Confession so your soul will always be in a state of grace for your mini-judgment when you will see where you stand if you were to be judged just then. Before your judgment you will have a life review and understand how you influenced people both for good and bad.



You will understand how your sins and actions offended Me, and how to change your life when you will return to your body. You are seeing earthly events leading up to the Antichrist’s takeover, so you know that the Warning has to occur soon, so I can give every sinner an opportunity to change their sinful lives. My children will be evangelizing sinners at that time and those, who come to My refuges, will find protection from the evil ones. Trust in Me and not your money or earthly possessions, and I will protect you and provide for your needs.”



Tuesday, December 9, 2008: (Patricia Lippa Funeral Mass)



Jesus said: “My people, you are all grieving over the loss of a beautiful and prayerful woman, but at the same time you should rejoice that I have taken her straight to heaven. She has suffered much while she was on earth, and this was her purgatory which she suffered in reparation for her sins.



She was very helpful and encouraging people in their faith. She did love to travel, but more as pilgrimages than just to see things. Her profession as a teacher enabled her to share life to the fullest with all of those whom she met. She loves all of her family and friends, and she will be praying for all of you. She is a great example of prayer and holiness for all who knew her. Give praise and thanks to Me for how her life touched all of those who knew her.”



Jesus said: “My people, many of your people do not realize the gravity of your debts, deficits, stock and bond losses, lost house values, and now many are losing their jobs. Foreclosures are increasing and many do not have enough money to buy beyond their daily necessities. The ‘toxic’ house loans that probably will never be paid off, have tied up your credit markets. Derivatives based on these house loans are so leveraged that there is not enough money from your government to bail this out.



This is the planned bankruptcy of your government which the one world people will use to take over your government and start a whole new currency. The amero will be used for a while until they issue a one world currency that will be controlled by having chips in the body. All of your dollars will become worthless, and the evil ones will try and force chips on you for buying and selling.



When you see martial law or government takeover, and mandatory chips in the body, you will know it is time to call on Me to have your angels lead you to the nearest refuge. You need to trust in My help and protection because your money and possessions are about to be taken away from you. Only through My power and My angels will you be protected from the evil ones.



There will be only a brief reign of the Antichrist until I will return in glory to cleanse all evil from the earth. The earth will be renewed and you will have your reward in My Era of Peace.”



Wednesday, December 10, 2008



Jesus said: “My people, today’s readings are meant to lift your spirits from the problems of your latest recession. Many are sad because of their losses, but you should have joy in your heart when you call on Me for help. When you rely on Me for everything, there should be no worries, but only a desire to do My Will.



Christmas is still a joyful season and you may have to help each other even more with your bare necessities. When hard times come, you will really see who your friends are. You may help someone today, but tomorrow you may be thankful for someone helping you. Remember to pray and give alms during Advent, just as you do during Lent. For all that you do out of love for Me and your neighbor, I will see to your reward in heaven.”



Our Lady said: “My dear children, I was pleased by your priest who did some prayers and history celebrating the time between my feast of the Immaculate Conception and the feast of Guadeloupe. These are special feasts for the Americas. The Immaculate Conception Church is your country’s special honor for me in guarding your people. The feast of Guadeloupe is for all of the Americas.



In the miracle of the tilma image, I am portrayed pregnant as an Indian mother, and it is appropriate right before celebrating my Son, Jesus’ birth at Christmas. It is also a special Mass to have it said for one’s own intention while one is alive to have the graces of the Mass. Give thanks to Jesus for all the gifts that He has given you. We watch over all of our children because we love all of you so much.”



Jesus said: “My people, in the winter your population is vulnerable if your electricity shuts down, or your natural gas is shut down. Any event that threatens these necessities could cause serious problems for families who do not have a backup supply of alternative fuels, water, and food.



This is why I have asked you to prepare some food and fuel in case of such an emergency. There will be more foreclosures and bank failures that will not be stemmed by all of your bailout attempts that will not help the credit crisis. Without being able to finance homes, cars, and TVs, you will see many of your industries lose jobs and go into bankruptcy. All of your government attempts to bail out the bad loans will fail and cause a bankruptcy of your banking system itself.



This is when your new president, on prompting from his backers, will cause a new currency to take over that would also support the North American Union. Once your money is no longer any good, and martial law is called to stop the riots, then you need to call on Me to lead you to My nearest refuge where you will be protected by My angels and healed by My luminous crosses. Trust in My protection from the evil ones, and be thankful for My refuges that will feed you.”



Thursday, December 11, 2008: (St. Pope Damasus I)



Jesus said: “My people, I have given you many messages about making preparations to flee to My refuges once you see mandatory chips in the body and martial law. I also warned you that believers in God and patriots would be the targets for the one world government to eliminate at their death camps.



Priests also would be one of their top targets, so you will have to hide and protect your priests. There will be a division in My Church, so be more aware of My faithful priests as they could be sacrificing Masses for you in the homes and later at the refuges. My Church will again be persecuted as in My Early Church martyrs. Call on Me to protect you in body and spirit.”



Prayer Group:



Jesus said: “My people, you are making preparations to celebrate My birth at Christmas and preparations at your refuges for what you will need. The vision of a huge wedding banquet, with no guests at the table, is how I am preparing a place for you. Be prepared in your souls by Confession because your experience in heaven will be beyond your earthly comprehension of great joy and love.”



Jesus said: “My people, this financial downturn is influencing many parts of your society in many sectors of working people. Some corporations are already closing their factories and shipping their jobs to countries with cheaper labor.



Other factories are now closing because their customers are not buying enough to make it profitable to stay in business. Your losses of jobs are setting records with little chance of these jobs being restored. Pray for your people that they will find enough work to provide for their families.”



Jesus said: “My people, there are some beautiful people who support and operate food shelves to feed and clothe the poor. Because of the hard times there are many more people requesting food, but there are not enough donations to give enough to everyone that comes.



It is time for those, who can give donations and time, to reach out and help these food shelves so they will have the food needed to help those without work or welfare. Call on Me to help touch more hearts to share with the poor.”



Jesus said: “My people, you spend a fair amount of money on Christmas gifts each year. You all look forward to sharing your gifts on Christmas Eve or on Christmas Day. This year there are many hurting financially, and it would be a great extension of your Christmas spirit if you could spend some of that money on food for the poor in your local area. Even bringing food directly to a needy family would make your heart glow when it is received with thanks.”



Jesus said: “My people, the Magi followed My star and traveled a long distance in order to see their new King in Me and give Me their kingly gifts. Think of Me as I am present in the poor that need your help more now than ever.



I am the same King that the Magi greeted, and you could be the modern day Magi that may have to travel to share your gifts of food and clothing for the poor. Remember when you help the least of your brothers and sisters, you are helping Me.”



Jesus said: “My people, at times you are praying for your friends and relatives in all of their illnesses and their needs. I have asked you many times to pray and give donations to the poor, but this was more for their physical survival.



There also are the spiritual poor who also need your prayers and Masses to help them come back to the sacraments, and pray that their souls could be saved by your evangelization attempts.”



Jesus said: “My people, I have asked many to go into My harvest of souls and evangelize as many souls as you could during your lifetime. This has been an ongoing mission for all of My faithful at all times.



But there is coming a special time after My Warning, when all souls will see Me in their life review and their hearts will be reaching out to Me for the forgiveness of their sins. It is at this precious time that many prayers for conversions will be answered.



This is why the Harvest Master is calling on My prayer warriors to be ready to work harder at that time to save as many souls as you can reach to save them for heaven. Then you and all of heaven will rejoice at every soul that is saved by My grace. These souls after the Warning will be much more open to receive Me into their hearts.”



Friday, December 12, 2008: (Our Lady of Guadeloupe)



Jesus said: “My people, the bishop in Guadeloupe was asking My Blessed Mother for a sign that the messages to Juan Diego were real when she asked for a basilica to be built on those grounds. When Juan Diego showed him roses in the winter and especially the miraculous image of My Blessed Mother of Guadeloupe on the tilma, there was great joy in that town.



Soon after in Mexico City they did finally erect a church where pilgrims have viewed the tilma constantly for many years. Many conversions have resulted from this miracle, and this shrine in Guadeloupe has become My Blessed Mother’s Shrine for all the Americas. Rejoice in heaven’s sharing of graces from My Blessed Mother and I over all of our children.”



Jesus said: “My people, you continue to be tested by natural disasters, even as I just warned you about power outages and having enough food and fuel on hand. Now you just had another ice storm that has left 1.5 million homes without power.



Your weather continues to be manipulated by the HAARP machine as you saw an unusually deep jet stream carry cold weather from the North all the way down to the Gulf of Mexico giving snow in Texas and New Orleans, which is very rare.



This same weather storm then picked up the Gulf water in the air and this gave moisture to form the ice storm across the Mid Atlantic states and the New England states. You have had ice storms in the past, but because of this manipulation, you are seeing more ice storms and power outages becoming more frequent than normal.



Look for more of these disasters to be occurring as you have seen higher numbers of tornadoes and floods than usual in this year. Again these are more signs that you are in the end times, and you need to call on My help to provide for your daily needs.”



Saturday, December 13, 2008: (St. Lucy)



Jesus said: “My people, the vision of a flooding river, combined with heavy downpours of rain and snow, are showing you more natural disasters that are on the way. Remember when you are having wars or financial hard times, you also see bad storms reflected in your weather.



This latest ice storm is a rare disaster compared to your tornadoes and hurricanes. Winter can bring snow and ice disasters, especially when you have many hot and cold weather changes with dramatic temperature shifts. Be prepared for these weather disasters that are sometimes causing power outages. The longer your power is out, the more difficult it will be for families to find food and keep warm.



Have some warm clothes and plenty of heavy blankets available in addition to your other preparations. Also be ready with full gas tanks if you have to evacuate quickly from flooding. Trust in My help in all of the disasters that will come, and be ready to help and feed your neighbor in an emergency.”



Sunday, December 14, 2008



Jesus said: “My people, I am having you focus on this vision of a backbone because I want My disciples to be able to stand up against your society with a good spiritual backbone. Do not let people control what you say and do, just to be accepted. Whenever you proclaim My Gospel of love, the world will reject you, as they rejected Me.



So do not be afraid to say ‘Merry Christmas’, speak out against abortion, tell people living together that they are living in sin, or that homosexual acts are sinful. You are living in an immoral death culture that follows Satan in desiring sinful pleasures and comforts.



St. John the Baptist is calling you to repent of your sins and change your sinful lifestyles into ones seeking holiness and pure souls as your gift to Me at Christmas. This is what Advent is all about, and then truly you can rejoice in My peace and love of Christmas.”



Monday, December 15, 2008



December 15, 2008



Jesus said: “My people, the bare Christmas tree, without any decorations or Nativity Scene, is a sign of how many people are drawn to the material or secular side of Christmas, but they forget the connection with My birth in Bethlehem. People like the gift buying and giving, and they place out on their yards Santa Claus, snowmen, and reindeer, but they forget about My Nativity Scene.



Very few faithful people display My Nativity Scene in their Christmas decorations. If I am not in the hearts of the secular minded people, then how can they know and love Me enough to come to Mass to celebrate My birth. Not only do My faithful need to stand up to express ‘Christmas’ every year, but it is also a good time to evangelize the lukewarm and those who have no religion.



By your good example, they can see the love of Me in your hearts, and it may inspire others to enjoy this love experience with Me. Pray for those souls around you who need to be converted or re-converted back to the faith. At Christmas when this is one of the few times when some come to Mass, pray for these souls to come to Mass more often.”



Jesus said: “My people, you remember when I took pity on the crowd that was listening to My sermon, and I multiplied the bread and fish for everyone to have some food. I was very generous because they even collected twelve baskets full of fragments. With Me all things are possible, so you can trust Me to have pity on My faithful to provide for your protection, food, and shelter.



So do not worry what you are to eat, or what you are to wear, or where you are to stay. My angels will defend you from the evil ones, and they will lead you to the nearest refuge. Even now in this world, I have helped you in your jobs and finances to provide for your families.



So when you see famine, division in My Church, martial law, and mandatory chips in the body, you know it is time to call on Me to have your angels lead you to the refuge. Keep calm and trust that all will go well for you under My wings of protection. Obedience to My laws and following My direction will keep you safe from the evil ones who will try to kill you. Thank Me for all that I do for you now, and for all that I will do for you in the future.”



Tuesday, December 16, 2008



Jesus said: “My people, today’s Gospel is all about people making decisions in life to follow Me or not. I am the Father asking everyone to go into the vineyard of this life, pick up your cross, and carry it to the end of your life. Some may say ‘yes’ at first, but then later they grow weak in their faith and they fall away.



Others may be converted to the faith, some return to their original faith, and some are even saved on their death bed. Choosing to follow Me takes a commitment in faith, and it requires that you be persistent in your prayers, good deeds, and follow My laws. It means that you will attend Sunday Mass and go to frequent Confession to keep your soul always cleansed of sin.



You need to be prepared to die and be ready to meet Me at your judgment every day. This vision of a train coming to the station means that I have paid your ticket to salvation, but you must repent and be at the station on time, or you will miss your chance to come to heaven. My reward is only for those who love Me, and are faithful to Me in life.”



Jesus said: “My people, one of the goals of the one world people is to reduce the population so they would have less to control. Two ways that they would bring this mass killing about will be through a pandemic virus and killing millions in the detention center death camps. The pandemic virus would be spread most likely in the winter when viruses thrive, and by chemtrails as you saw in the skies today.



The one world people will have protection vaccines that will counter this virus. This is why My faithful need to build up their immune systems with Hawthorn, herbs, and vitamins.



When you see people dying, it would be wise to go to My refuges where looking on the luminous cross and drinking the spring water will heal any sicknesses. The evil ones also will come to your homes to try and force chips in the body on you. Those, who are captured and refuse these chips, could be martyred in the death camps.



Again when you see mandatory chips in the body start, this is another sign to call on Me to have your angels lead you to My refuges where you will be invisible to these evil ones. In both cases I will protect you from death when you leave for My refuges. I will warn you when it is time because there will be a lot of deaths for those who do not follow My warning. Give praise and thanks to your God who is watching over all of My children.”



Wednesday, December 17, 2008



Jesus said: “My people, today’s Gospel is focused on the lineage of St. Joseph and My Blessed Mother who both were in the line of King David. This lineage is also emphasized when they both had to travel to Bethlehem to register for a census.



Even today in your country you do a census every ten years for knowing how many live in various states and voting districts. The Scriptures in both St. Matthew and St. Luke’s Gospels record the parents of each generation, even back to Adam.



The prophecies of My coming point to Bethlehem from the house of King David. I came to suffer and die for the sins of all people from Adam up until the last person to be born. After all of these prophesies have been fulfilled, you are able to see how My plan of salvation has been carried out. You commemorate My coming at Christmas, but you also wait in hope for My coming to conquer all evil and provide you with a new heavens and a new earth.”

(One of the holy folk).



ALEXANDER, CONFESSOR, PATRIARCH OF ALEXANDRIA
I am St Alexander. I followed Achillas in the see (church headquarters) of Alexandria in 313 A.D..



I cared for the poor, in my mild mannered way. In administrative positions, I somewhat favored monks who had lived in solitude for Church positions.
Sadly during my administration, the Alexandrian priest Arius joined Meletius, Bishop of Lycopolis. Meletius broke away from Peter, the Alexandrian patriarch in 300 A.D..
But Meletius returned to the faith.




Patriarch Peter took Meletius back, after he repented. And ordained Arius deacon. Arius returned to his usurper ways, causing problems in working for the Meletians.




Peter excommunicated Arius. But Achillas took him back after he repented. Then made him a priest, curator of a church in the Baucales region of Alexandria.



Arius denied Yeshua as God. Father Athanasius told us that Arius claimed Yeshua other than his created divinity, or spiritual substance, was made before the world:



Colluthus, a curator of Alexandria with others attacked the blasphemies of Arius and his followers (called Arians). Folks called Catholics, Colluthians.



I tried to gently persuade Arius back to truth. Colluthus was not pleased with my lenient behavior of Arius. He precipitated. But soon he returned to the fold of Holy Mother Church.



Learning that the followers of Arius were increasing, I called Arius before the clergy as a group. His rantings were intolerable. I excommunicated him around the latter part of 320 A.D..



A group of 100 or more bishops agreed with me in a council at Alexandria. The synod condemned him and his followers, calling anathema condemned by the synod.



I wrote to Pope Sylvester about the problems Arius was causing. Even Emperor Constantine intervened to inquire about the matters.



I sat in on the First Council of Nicea in 325 A.D. 26 Feb. I went home to Yeshua’s judgment, 326 A.D.



I brought Athanasius to the meetings which discussed Arius, who was exiled. I died 26 Feb. 326 A.D. Athanasius succeeded me.



Alexander the Bishop, Heraclius, Anna, Elizabeth, Theodota and Glyceria, at Adrianopolis (2nd or 3rd. century), martyr. 22 Oct.



Alexander and 40 Others, Martyrs beheaded at Carthage (3rd century), April 10.



Alexander of Kemet, Paesis (Pausis), Romulus (subdeacon) of Diopolis, Paesis (Pausis), Alexander of Kemet, another Alexander of Gaza, Agapius, and Dionysius— beheaded after declaring our Christianity. (In Palestine) 24 March 303 A.D.



Alexander, Paulus, Solutor, Theodulus, Theohilus, Octavius, Petronius, and Manilus. Martyrs at Carthage, 15 March



Alexander the Soldier of Kemet (Egypt), martyr July 9
converted and martyred with Patermuthius (Petarpemotis), Copres, and Alexander.





I, Patermuthius, was a 75 years old, Kemetian hermit. I was originally a robber. My follower and converter, the monk Copres (Copri) and I were arraigned by Julian the Apostate. Torture weakened Copri. We were thrown into the furnace. 4th century, 9 July, 17 Dec.



Alexander, Cronion, Julian, Macarius, and 13 companions at Alexandria, Martyrs. 30 Oct.



Alexander, Secundianus, Quartus, Victorianus, Januarius, Medianus, Adauctus, Denecutia, Maximianus, Proculus, Afranus, Audactus, and Deodatus. Martyrs in Africa. 14 May.



Alexander, martyr, Tribune of Theban Legion



Alexander, Romulus, Acutus, Pinnarius, Marulus, Successus, Misias, Matutina, Donatus, Successa, Solutor, and Saturninus. We were martyred in Africa, 27 March.



Alexandra of Alexandria, Bishop, martyred in 311 A.D. I attacked some of Origen’s principles, according to Leontius of Byzantium and Roman Emperor Justinian. 3 March.



ALEXANDER, In Alexandria, Kemet about 250 A.D. I suffered martyrdom during the terror and persecutions of Decius. 12 Dec.



Alexandra, I am a maidservant and hermitess. For 10 years, I lived in a tomb with food and drink delivered to me by one kind woman. In penance, I wished to see no one, as a man previously had been lustful because of God’s visage gift to me.



Spinning flax, I prayed from early morning, until hour nine. I spun flax, meditating on the lives, teachings, and examples of the apostles, martyrs, patriarchs, and prophets.



Melania the Elder used to visit me, but I did not see her. We only spoke. I died in my sleep. 15 Sept.



Alexandria Martyrs 261 A.D. 356 A.D. 390 A.D. 342 A.D.



Alexandrian Martyrs martyred in the Church of Theonas, Alexandria. We died in 372 A.D. Tradition says we were of both sexes who were killed or exiled from Alexandria during Athansius’ exile (the fifth time) by Emperor Valens the Arian. 13 May.



Alexandria, see Great Martyr Catherine,

LESSONS from Our Lord for the World



Volume II Lesson # 31
December 25, 1989



DAY OF MY BIRTH



My dear child, what a glorious day and one on which I come bringing you tidings of joy! This joy is for all people. I love them, and rejoice in those who have chosen life.



The purpose of My Birth, to save My beloved ones and free them from sin and grant them salvation, is fulfilled this day, the day of My Birth! Each day is a rebirth for all those who desire life in Me. But this day, 2000 years ago, My Father granted salvation for all through Me! My Birth was your salvation; My Suffering, your redemption!



Now the angels sing songs of joy for all who this day are born in Me. I send My Peace and rejoice in all who have chosen eternal life, regardless of their religion. Those who have chosen eternal life have chosen Me, for only I can provide true eternal life in My Father.



I wish for My people to know this day that they are not alone! Rejoice in the Good News of your life. Rejoice, for the Newborn Babe is alive and reigns for all eternity. Rejoice, for this day the Father has given Me, your Savior, to the world. Come, all ye who desire life, and receive it. With Me there is no death, only life, the purity of life like a newborn babe.



It is today I have taken many souls into My Kingdom, especially the forgotten ones! Thank you for your prayers, for these souls have been exalted and glorified on this day, the day of My Birth. I am your Jesus Who wishes to give to all. I am not asking anything of anyone, other then to love and be pure. I wish to give to all. Please graciously accept and live!



Thank you for loving My people. As you love Me, you love them. As you deny yourself for Me, you give to them; and I bless you in thanksgiving. Rejoice! Your Newborn Babe is born and alive!

4. My Birth



At the time of My birth, little child, there were myriads of angels rejoicing and surrounding My stepfather and My mother. They escorted them to the humble manger prepared by My stepfather.



Slightly disappointed by the accommodations in which the Savior of the world was to enter the world, My mother, in all her humility and innocence, resigned that the Father had willed that my entrance would be in a manger, and made the best of her surroundings and preparations for My comfort.



Then came the time for Me to leave the warmth and security of the pure, Immaculate womb of the woman whom all generations would call Blessed. The trumpets sounded, and in the silence of the night, enveloped in a Divine Light from heaven, Mary, wife of Joseph from the House of David, gave birth without trouble or distress to your Jesus, Savior and King of salvation, your Emmanuel.



She did not lose her Immaculate virginity. Joseph, in respecting the privacy of this moment went to retrieve assistance from a servant at an Inn to attend to My Mother's needs, not aware that this birth would be completed by his return and that the angels from above would attend to this humble handmaid of the Lord.



Yes, Mary was alone; yet she was accompanied by myriads of angels who protected her and assisted her needs. By the time My stepfather returned, alone and frustrated from not being able to find assistance; there I laid, cradled in a bed of straw, nestled in the warmth of My Mother's arms, surrounded by invisible angels whom even my stepfather was unable to see. The animals gathered, the shepherds received their callings in their hearts, and the three kings from a far set out to seek the Savior.



Many people wonder and ask questions regarding My birth. Let us address some of these questions. How could Mary retain her virginity if she gave birth? She maintained her virginity because she had no relations with any man.



She maintained her purity because she was Immaculate. It was the Holy Spirit who breathed upon her, with her fiat, to be with child. The act by man had no part in her pregnancy.



I am pure. I came into the world pure without sin. The only way I could come as man into the world without the stain of sin was to be born from a woman whose blood was not tainted by sin, but was pure and Immaculate.



I was Divine; and to come into the world and take a human form in all ways but sin, I had to be born of a human who through the Hand of the Father would be created Immaculate and sinless. Mary never lost her virginity because she never had any sexual relationship with a man. She conceived through the Power of the Holy Spirit. All things are possible with God.



Then you ask: Does this make Mary divine? No, Mary was human. She was created Immaculate so that I could be born into the world, human in all ways except sin; but she was not exempt from any other aspect of human life, and she is not God.



You cannot say that Mary is not a role model for women because she did feel pain, anguish, frustrations, sorrows, grief, humiliation, joy and happiness. She experienced every human emotion. She was simply created Immaculate; and through her humble "yes", I was allowed entrance into the world to carry the weight of the world and free everyone from death and the powers of evil.



Did God the Father communicate with Mary? Yes, as He did with many of the prophets before her and continues now. Even My stepfather listened to His communication through his dreams and promptings from the Holy Spirit. The Father did not relay to her that she was chosen to be the Mother of God. He simply revealed to her that the Savior was forthcoming.



Her reply was to be able to be a servant of the woman so blessed to bear the Son of God. She did not ask whom it would be. It was only when the Archangel Gabriel revealed it to her that she became aware of it and graciously received the Gift of the Holy Spirit as her Spouse. The act of the conception was through the Holy Spirit, and the act of birth was through the Holy Spirit. It began and was finished through the Holy Spirit.



As many women today give birth without trouble, so did My mother; and the angels were sent by My Father to attend her. She felt pain as all women feel pain. When she faced birth, at the same moment she also faced death because Life was coming into the world to slay death.



Was she afraid? Yes, as with any mother, fear of the unknown passed by; but her hope and faith in God above humbled her to accept and trust all that God had planned for her in the future.



Was she concerned for her husband, his thoughts and the provisions for the Savior? Yes, every human emotion was present and concurred through her continuous fiat. Be it done unto me as you say!



What did my stepfather say when he saw Me? In awe he humbled himself as my innocence, radiance and omnipotence enveloped him in My Love. He knew the Truth and desired to protect the Gift from Heaven from all harm.


As his eyes welled up with tears, he bowed graciously to the humble handmaid in humility, as her simplicity, beauty and radiant purity inebriated him. That is how from Heaven above I was born, your Savior for all the world, for all eternity, never to be separated again as once in the Garden of Eden.



3/4/99



5. Mirna and the Shepherds



My little one, after My birth a servant from the Inn came to assist My mother in caring for her female needs, hygiene and health precautions as was protocol for that time period. My stepfather was relieved upon seeing the presence of the servant, and upon her arrival he graciously made accommodations for the time she spent with My mother. Serving the needs of My mother changed her life forever. Her name was Mirna.



The first week of My human life I received the necessary nutrients from My mother's breast for my immune system, as the odiferous animals kept the area warm. I continued to feed from her breasts until I was 9 months old, and then I began to be weaned from her and gradually introduced to pureed foods. My favorite foods as I grew older were goat cheese and honey.



The shepherds from the field were the first to pay tribute to me after Mirna returned to her duties at the Inn. They knew then that the Savior of the world did not come for the righteous but for the lowly.



Their hearts were filled with joy and wonder as they gazed upon My innocence and purity. When the Kings arrived, they remained with us for 2 months before they returned to their homelands, but we will talk about that scene later. The shepherds provided My mother and stepfather with food and drink. They visited daily and made every effort to provide things to make Me and My parents comfortable. They introduced My stepfather to the area in which he could later make known his trade.



However, the first week was a very intimate ecstasy and elation of joy for the Holy Family, one of the great awe, adoration and thanksgiving. God was born! The Son of Man had entered the world and was sustained by grace from the Eternal Father.



Our Lady of All Nations--9th Message, March 29, 1946



The Divine Child




Once again I see the Lady standing before me. She has a child on her arm. He has a halo around His Head, and He is radiating light on all sides. It is as if the Lady comes down, and now I see her standing on a globe. The globe rotates continuously beneath her. The Lady looks at me and says, "Come follow me."



I go along behind her, and it is as if we are walking over the globe. The Lady turns to me and says, "Him"; and she points at the child, "I want to bring into that world again."



But as she says this, she shakes her head again and again. I look at the Child, and as I look that Child changes into a Cross. All at once the Cross falls to the ground before me and breaks into pieces. I look at the world and see it lying entirely in darkness. Then I hear the Lady call, "Bring Him back into that world!" And she points at the fragmented Cross.



Now suddenly I see the Cross complete again, planted in the midst of the world. All sorts of people are standing around it, but with heads turned away. I suddenly feel very tired and tell this to the Lady. But she smiles at me.



Then suddenly I see her sitting on a kind of armchair. She has the Child with her again on her lap. The Child radiates light in all directions. The Lady says, "First, back to Him; only then will there be true peace." She stresses the word "true."



Then words appear around the Lady in a curve. I have to read aloud, "Truth." "Again?" I say and look at the Lady. She nods "yes''. This is in the middle. Then I read on the left, "Justice," and on the right, "Love of Neighbor."

The Feast of the Immaculate Conception of the Virgin Mary



My Dear Children of Humanity,



Know how loved you are through my great Love and Mercy! Know that you are children, all "children of Abraham." So many children, far greater than the number of stars in the sky!



Those who come to know and desire Truth will come to know true "freedom." For this great gift today is a blessing from My Hands. This blessing belongs to you through My Son Who is King.



"Kingdom" is the word, for I say to all of you that My Kingdom is one that dwells here and now. My Kingdom come, My Will be done on earth as it is at My Throne! My Kingdom, now on earth with you, is for those who desire to live it. It is a time, a new time, a renewal for you. For all those who desire to receive, your loving Father desires to give.



My Son, Who was forsaken and Who gave His Life on the Cross, redeemed you. My beloved daughter, Mary, spouse of the Third Person of the Holy Trinity, who was beside Him pleading for you, joins in this great gift of bringing and inviting all of you to "freedom."



A battle in the Heavens commences and a spiritual renewal of life embarks upon the world with the Grace of My Hand shedding loving Mercy and Kindness into your souls. How great it is to live in My Kingdom now, where I dwell! Come all, and know your Merciful Father is One who loves and One Who gives, not One Who takes away.



I love you. In the Palm of My Hand, there is the world, desperate, searching, grieving, sorrowful, fighting, and mourning; and in My other Palm is the new clay, inviting, replenishing, (long pause), rejuvenating, (long pause), freeing, (long pause, joyfully gifting, (long pause), forgiving, (long pause), protecting, (long pause), fulfilling, (long pause), and remolding all of you.




Come, (very long pause), come, (very long pause) ,come to Me (fading whisper).



Public Message
Our Lady of Emmitsburg
To the World
through Gianna Sullivan
December 24, 2002
Christmas Eve



My dear little children, praised be Jesus!



I love you, little ones, and I desire you to not only seek the Truth, but also to know the Truth, to live the Truth in your hearts, to proclaim the Truth on your lips, and to be the shining lights of God, not only in your own hearts, but also in your families, in your communities, and around the world. But you must live the Way of God, not the way of the desires of your own hearts.



When you are corrected, you do not desire to be corrected because of the pain involved. What I most want you to generously receive and know is that as my Son is the Emmanuel, my Son is your Savior. What I desire you to know is that correction develops character, gives you strength and fortitude, perseverance and temperance, and allows you to rise to a new level, one in which you are as the shining star that came with the angels above to announce the Savior’s birth.



With the Birth at Bethlehem came also the Cross at Calvary. With the Cross at Calvary came also the Redemption and the Resurrection at Easter. So you are all together on this journey of Love; and, dear children, I desire with all my heart for you to know that you are safe as you dwell in my Immaculate Heart, but as you dwell there in Love.



It is not about who is right as you each seek to have made known your own case. I desire for you to truly join me in prayer and in love at the center, the core of my Immaculate Heart where true Love dwells, my Son Himself.



In an instant of time, in a moment’s glance a war would reduce your thoughts and your fears and your angers to nothingness. So why is it now that in this moment of silence you cannot all join in love and peace? Have mercy on my Son who above all has had mercy on you.


Thank you, little ones, for responding to my call.


Fr Doucette - Wed, Dec 24, 2008: "My coming was the turning point for the world"



FATHER MELVIN DOUCETTE



"My coming was the turning point for the world"



Wednesday, December 24, 2008
Dear Friends,




The Word of God was in the world, and the world came to be through him, but the world did not know him. He came to what was his own, but his own people did not accept him. But to those who did accept him he gave power to become children of God, to those who believe in his name, who were born not by natural generation nor by human choice nor by a man?s decision but of God.



And the Word became flesh

And made his dwelling among us,

And we saw his glory,

The glory as of the Father's only Son,

Full of grace and truth.

John 1:10 14

I wish you all a Blessed Christmas filled with much love, joy and peace.



Here is another message from Our Lord addressed to Joseph. Jesus spoke these words to him: At the beginning of St. John's Gospel, there is the Prologue, which gives a beautiful introduction of who I am. I am the Word who is God and I took on human flesh, which means human nature, and came to live among you.



My birth was in a very humble place, a stable, but the glory of God was shown through many happenings on that first Christmas night. The star came down and lit up the stable where I laid on the hay in the manger, the angels came to the stable and sang their beautiful hymns and people came to greet Me, a tiny little baby just born.




This night you will celebrate this Feast of My birth in Jerusalem. My coming was the turning point for the world. The year of the calendar, which is used in most parts of the world, starts with My birth. I was born in a very humble place to show you that I did not come to be served but to serve and to suffer for your redemption. I am the Messiah, the Saviour, who was awaited for thousands of years.



A people had to be prepared where I could be born and these people are the humble believers of Israel. These are My Mother, St. Joseph, Zechariah, Elizabeth, John the Baptist, and all those who came to believe in Me while I was on earth and all of you who later on accepted Me as your Redeemer.

PROPHECY MEDITATIONS TODAY



Test! Discern The Spirit! Accept what speaks to YOUR SOUL/SPIRIT. Disregard the rest!



Fair use, educational and religious purposes, 17 U.S.C. for those in the African Diasora who would otherwise not be exposed to such.





ANGELS



From Letter of Eileen Renders re: Catholic Encyclopedia, Fair use 17 U.S.C. FOR THOSE IN THE African Diaspora (education and religious)who would otherwise not be exposed to such.



“ …RE: describing angels and guardian angels, NOT ONCE says that they are spirits that always were spirits? “
…
While most (98% or so) of the Catholic teachings can actually be verified, there are some things we have learned that are not directly from God but from descendents, Teachers. Other religions have always believed that guardian angels were good people who lived their lives, passed on, went to heaven and were then appointed to become guardian angels. …
(Latin angelus; Greek aggelos; from the Hebrew for "one going" or "one sent"; messenger). The word is used in Hebrew to denote indifferently either a divine or human messenger. The Septuagint renders it by aggelos which also has both significations. The Latin version, however, distinguishes the divine or spirit-messenger from the human, rendering the original in the one case by angelus and in the other by legatus or more generally by nuntius. In a few passages the Latin version is misleading, the word angelus being used where nuntius would have better expressed the meaning, e.g. Isaiah 18:2; 33:3-6.





It is with the spirit-messenger alone that we are here concerned. We have to discuss



the meaning of the term in the Bible,

the offices of the angels,

the names assigned to the angels,

the distinction between good and evil spirits,

the divisions of the angelic choirs,

the question of angelic appearances, and

the development of the scriptural idea of angels.




The angels are represented throughout the Bible as a body of spiritual beings intermediate between God and men: "You have made him (man) a little less than the angels" (Psalm 8:6). They, equally with man, are created beings; "praise ye Him, all His angels: praise ye Him, all His hosts . . . for He spoke and they were made. He commanded and they were created" (Psalm 148:2-5; Colossians 1:16-17). That the angels were created was laid down in the Fourth Lateran Council (1215). The decree "Firmiter" against the Albigenses declared both the fact that they were created and that men were created after them.



This decree was repeated by the Vatican Council, "Dei Filius". We mention it here because the words: "He that liveth for ever created all things together" (Ecclesiasticus 18:1) have been held to prove a simultaneous creation of all things; but it is generally conceded that "together" (simul) may here mean "equally", in the sense that all things were "alike" created. They are spirits; the writer of the Epistle to the Hebrews says: "Are they not all ministering spirits, sent to minister to them who shall receive the inheritance of salvation?" (Hebrews 1:14).



Attendants at God's throne




It is as messengers that they most often figure in the Bible, but, as St. Augustine, and after him St. Gregory, expresses it: angelus est nomen officii ("angel is the name of the office") and expresses neither their essential nature nor their essential function, viz.: that of attendants upon God's throne in that court of heaven of which Daniel has left us a vivid picture:



I behold till thrones were placed, and the Ancient of Days sat: His garment was white as snow, and the hair of His head like clean wool: His throne like flames of fire: the wheels of it like a burning fire.



A swift stream of fire issued forth from before Him: thousands of thousands ministered to Him, and ten thousand times a hundred thousand stood before Him: the judgment sat and the books were opened. (Daniel 7:9-10; cf. also Psalm 96:7; Psalm 102:20; Isaiah 6, etc.)



This function of the angelic host is expressed by the word "assistance" (Job 1:6; 2:1), and our Lord refers to it as their perpetual occupation (Matthew 18:10). More than once we are told of seven angels whose special function it is thus to "stand before God's throne" (Tobit 12:15; Revelation 8:2-5).



The same thought may be intended by "the angel of His presence" (Isaiah 63:9) an expression which also occurs in the pseudo-epigraphical "Testaments of the Twelve Patriarchs".



God's messengers to mankind



But these glimpses of life beyond the veil are only occasional. The angels of the Bible generally appear in the role of God's messengers to mankind.



They are His instruments by whom He communicates His will to men, and in Jacob's vision they are depicted as ascending and descending the ladder which stretches from earth to heaven while the Eternal Father gazes upon the wanderer below. It was an angel who found Agar in the wilderness (Genesis 16); angels drew Lot out of Sodom; an angel announces to Gideon that he is to save his people; an angel foretells the birth of Samson (Judges 13), and the angel Gabriel instructs Daniel (Daniel 8:16), though he is not called an angel in either of these passages, but "the man Gabriel" (9:21).



The same heavenly spirit announced the birth of St. John the Baptist and the Incarnation of the Redeemer, while tradition ascribes to him both the message to the shepherds (Luke 2:9), and the most glorious mission of all, that of strengthening the King of Angels in His Agony (Luke 22:43). The spiritual nature of the angels is manifested very clearly in the account which Zacharias gives of the revelations bestowed upon him by the ministry of an angel. The prophet depicts the angel as speaking "in him". He seems to imply that he was conscious of an interior voice which was not that of God but of His messenger.



The Massoretic text, the Septuagint, and the Vulgate all agree in thus describing the communications made by the angel to the prophet. It is a pity that the "Revised Version" should, in apparent defiance of the above-named texts, obscure this trait by persistently giving the rendering: "the angel that talked with me: instead of "within me" (cf. Zechariah 1:9-14; 2:3; 4:5; 5:10).



Such appearances of angels generally last only so long as the delivery of their message requires, but frequently their mission is prolonged, and they are represented as the constituted guardians of the nations at some particular crisis, e.g. during the Exodus (Exodus 14:19; Baruch 6:6). Similarly it is the common view of the Fathers that by "the prince of the Kingdom of the Persians" (Daniel 10:13-21) we are to understand the angel to whom was entrusted the spiritual care of that kingdom, and we may perhaps see in the "man of Macedonia" who appeared to St. Paul at Troas, the guardian angel of that country (Acts 16:9).



The Septuagint (Deuteronomy 32:8), has preserved for us a fragment of information on this head, though it is difficult to gauge its exact meaning: "When the Most High divided the nations, when He scattered the children of Adam, He established the bounds of the nations according to the number of the angels of God".



How large a part the ministry of angels played, not merely in Hebrew theology, but in the religious ideas of other nations as well, appears from the expression "like to an angel of God". It is three times used of David (2 Samuel 14:17-20; 14:27) and once by Achis of Geth (1 Samuel 29:9). It is even applied by Esther to Assuerus (Esther 15:16), and St. Stephen's face is said to have looked "like the face of an angel" as he stood before the Sanhedrin (Acts 6:15).



Personal guardians



Throughout the Bible we find it repeatedly implied that each individual soul has its tutelary angel. Thus Abraham, when sending his steward to seek a wife for Isaac, says: "He will send His angel before thee" (Genesis 24:7).



The words of the ninetieth Psalm which the devil quoted to our Lord (Matthew 4:6) are well known, and Judith accounts for her heroic deed by saying: "As the Lord liveth, His angel hath been my keeper" (13:20).



These passages and many like them (Genesis 16:6-32; Hosea 12:4; 1 Kings 19:5; Acts 12:7; Psalm 33:8), though they will not of themselves demonstrate the doctrine that every individual has his appointed guardian angel, receive their complement in our Saviour's words: "See that you despise not one of these little ones; for I say to you that their angels in Heaven always see the face of My Father Who is in Heaven" (Matthew 18:10), words which illustrate the remark of St. Augustine: "What lies hidden in the Old Testament, is made manifest in the New".



Indeed, the book of Tobias seems intended to teach this truth more than any other, and St. Jerome in his commentary on the above words of our Lord says: "The dignity of a soul is so great, that each has a guardian angel from its birth." The general doctrine that the angels are our appointed guardians is considered to be a point of faith, but that each individual member of the human race has his own individual guardian angel is not of faith (de fide); the view has, however, such strong support from the Doctors of the Church that it would be rash to deny it (cf. St. Jerome, supra).



Peter the Lombard (Sentences, lib. II, dist. xi) was inclined to think that one angel had charge of several individual human beings. St. Bernard's beautiful homilies (11-14) on the ninetieth Psalm breathe the spirit of the Church without however deciding the question. The Bible represents the angels not only as our guardians, but also as actually interceding for us. "The angel Raphael (Tobit 12:12) says: "I offered thy prayer to the Lord" (cf. Job 5:1 (Septuagint), and 33:23 (Vulgate); Apocalypse 8:4).



The Catholic cult of the angels is thus thoroughly scriptural. Perhaps the earliest explicit declaration of it is to be found in St. Ambrose's words: "We should pray to the angels who are given to us as guardians" (De Viduis, ix); (cf. St. Augustine, Reply to Faustus XX.21). An undue cult of angels was reprobated by St. Paul (Colossians 2:18), and that such a tendency long remained in the same district is evidenced by Canon 35 of the Synod of Laodicea.



As divine agents governing the world



The foregoing passages, especially those relating to the angels who have charge of various districts, enable us to understand the practically unanimous view of the Fathers that it is the angels who put into execution God's law regarding the physical world. The Semitic belief in genii and in spirits which cause good or evil is well known, and traces of it are to be found in the Bible. Thus the pestilence which devastated Israel for David's sin in numbering the people is attributed to an angel whom David is said to have actually seen (2 Samuel 24:15-17), and more explicitly, I Par., xxi, 14-18). Even the wind rustling in the tree-tops was regarded as an angel (2 Samuel 5:23-24; 1 Chronicles 14:14, 15).



This is more explicitly stated with regard to the pool of Probatica (John 5:1-4), though these is some doubt about the text; in that passage the disturbance of the water is said to be due to the periodic visits of an angel. The Semites clearly felt that all the orderly harmony of the universe, as well as interruptions of that harmony, were due to God as their originator, but were carried out by His ministers.



This view is strongly marked in the "Book of Jubilees" where the heavenly host of good and evil angels is every interfering in the material universe. Maimonides (Directorium Perplexorum, iv and vi) is quoted by St. Thomas Aquinas (Summa Theologicæ I.1.3) as holding that the Bible frequently terms the powers of nature angels, since they manifest the omnipotence of God (cf. St. Jerome, In Mich., vi, 1, 2; P.L., iv, col. 1206).





Hierarchical organization



Though the angels who appear in the earlier works of the Old Testament are strangely impersonal and are overshadowed by the importance of the message they bring or the work they do, there are not wanting hints regarding the existence of certain ranks in the heavenly army.



After Adam's fall Paradise is guarded against our First Parents by cherubim who are clearly God's ministers, though nothing is said of their nature. Only once again do the cherubim figure in the Bible, viz., in Ezechiel's marvellous vision, where they are described at great length (Ezekiel 1), and are actually called cherub in Ezechiel 10. The Ark was guarded by two cherubim, but we are left to conjecture what they were like.



It has been suggested with great probability that we have their counterpart in the winged bulls and lions guarding the Assyrian palaces, and also in the strange winged men with hawks' heads who are depicted on the walls of some of their buildings. The seraphim appear only in the vision of Isaias 6:6.



Mention has already been made of the mystic seven who stand before God, and we seem to have in them an indication of an inner cordon that surrounds the throne. The term archangel occurs only in St. Jude and 1 Thessalonians 4:15; but St. Paul has furnished us with two other lists of names of the heavenly cohorts. He tells us (Ephesians 1:21) that Christ is raised up "above all principality, and power, and virtue, and dominion"; and, writing to the Colossians (1:16), he says: "In Him were all things created in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominations, or principalities or powers."



It is to be noted that he uses two of these names of the powers of darkness when (2:15) he talks of Christ as "despoiling the principalities and powers . . . triumphing over them in Himself". And it is not a little remarkable that only two verses later he warns his readers not to be seduced into any "religion of angels".



He seems to put his seal upon a certain lawful angelology, and at the same time to warn them against indulging superstition on the subject. We have a hint of such excesses in the Book of Enoch, wherein, as already stated, the angels play a quite disproportionate part. Similarly Josephus tells us (Bel. Jud., II, viii, 7) that the Essenes had to take a vow to preserve the names of the angels.





We have already seen how (Daniel 10:12-21) various districts are allotted to various angels who are termed their princes, and the same feature reappears still more markedly in the Apocalyptic "angels of the seven churches", though it is impossible to decide what is the precise signification of the term.



These seven Angels of the Churches are generally regarded as being the Bishops occupying these sees. St. Gregory Nazianzen in his address to the Bishops at Constantinople twice terms them "Angels", in the language of the Apocalypse.



The treatise "De Coelesti Hierarchia", which is ascribed to St. Denis the Areopagite, and which exercised so strong an influence upon the Scholastics, treats at great length of the hierarchies and orders of the angels. It is generally conceded that this work was not due to St. Denis, but must date some centuries later.



Though the doctrine it contains regarding the choirs of angels has been received in the Church with extraordinary unanimity, no proposition touching the angelic hierarchies is binding on our faith. The following passages from St. Gregory the Great (Hom. 34, In Evang.) will give us a clear idea of the view of the Church's doctors on the point:



We know on the authority of Scripture that there are nine orders of angels, viz., Angels, Archangels, Virtues, Powers, Principalities, Dominations, Throne, Cherubim and Seraphim. That there are Angels and Archangels nearly every page of the Bible tell us, and the books of the Prophets talk of Cherubim and Seraphim.



St. Paul, too, writing to the Ephesians enumerates four orders when he says: 'above all Principality, and Power, and Virtue, and Domination'; and again, writing to the Colossians he says: 'whether Thrones, or Dominations, or Principalities, or Powers'. If we now join these two lists together we have five Orders, and adding Angels and Archangels, Cherubim and Seraphim, we find nine Orders of Angels.



St. Thomas (Summa Theologica I:108), following St. Denis (De Coelesti Hierarchia, vi, vii), divides the angels into three hierarchies each of which contains three orders. Their proximity to the Supreme Being serves as the basis of this division. In the first hierarchy he places the Seraphim, Cherubim, and Thrones; in the second, the Dominations, Virtues, and Powers; in the third, the Principalities, Archangels, and Angels.



The only Scriptural names furnished of individual angels are Raphael, Michael, and Gabriel, names which signify their respective attributes. Apocryphal Jewish books, such as the Book of Enoch, supply those of Uriel and Jeremiel, while many are found in other apocryphal sources, like those Milton names in "Paradise Lost". (On superstitious use of such names, see above).





The number of angels



The number of the angels is frequently stated as prodigious (Daniel 7:10; Apocalypse 5:11; Psalm 67:18; Matthew 26:53). From the use of the word host (sabaoth) as a synonym for the heavenly army it is hard to resist the impression that the term "Lord of Hosts" refers to God's Supreme command of the angelic multitude (cf. Deuteronomy 33:2; 32:43; Septuagint).



The Fathers see a reference to the relative numbers of men and angels in the parable of the hundred sheep (Luke 15:1-3), though this may seem fanciful. The Scholastics, again, following the treatise "De Coelesti Hierarchia" of St. Denis, regard the preponderance of numbers as a necessary perfection of the angelic host (cf. St. Thomas, Summa Theologica I:1:3).



The evil angels



The distinction of good and bad angels constantly appears in the Bible, but it is instructive to note that there is no sign of any dualism or conflict between two equal principles, one good and the other evil.



The conflict depicted is rather that waged on earth between the Kingdom of God and the Kingdom of the Evil One, but the latter's inferiority is always supposed. The existence, then, of this inferior, and therefore created, spirit, has to be explained.



The gradual development of Hebrew consciousness on this point is very clearly marked in the inspired writings. The account of the fall of our First Parents (Genesis 3) is couched in such terms that it is impossible to see in it anything more than the acknowledgment of the existence of a principle of evil who was jealous of the human race.



The statement (Genesis 6:1) that the "sons of God" married the daughters of men is explained of the fall of the angels, in Enoch, vi-xi, and codices, D, E F, and A of the Septuagint read frequently, for "sons of God", oi aggeloi tou theou. Unfortunately, codices B and C are defective in Genesis 6, but it is probably that they, too, read oi aggeloi in this passage, for they constantly so render the expression "sons of God"; cf. Job 1:6, 2:1 and 38:7; but on the other hand, see Psalm 2:1 and 88 (Septuagint).



Philo, in commenting on the passage in his treatise "Quod Deus sit immutabilis", i, follows the Septuagint. For Philo's doctrine of Angels, cf. "De Vita Mosis", iii, 2, "De Somniis", VI: "De Incorrupta Manna", i; "De Sacrificis", ii; "De Lege Allegorica", I, 12; III, 73; and for the view of Genesis 6:1, cf. St. Justin, First Apology 5. It should moreover be noted that the Hebrew word nephilim rendered gigantes, in 6:4, may mean "fallen ones". The Fathers generally refer it to the sons of Seth, the chosen stock. In 1 Samuel 19:9, an evil spirit is said to possess Saul, though this is probably a metaphorical expression; more explicit is 1 Kings 22:19-23, where a spirit is depicted as appearing in the midst of the heavenly army and offering, at the Lord's invitation, to be a lying spirit in the mouth of Achab's false prophets.



We might, with Scholastics, explain this is malum poenae, which is actually caused by God owing to man's fault. A truer exegesis would, however, dwell on the purely imaginative tone of the whole episode; it is not so much the mould in which the message is cast as the actual tenor of that message which is meant to occupy our attention.



The picture afforded us in Job 1 and 2 is equally imaginative; but Satan, perhaps the earliest individualization of the fallen Angel, is presented as an intruder who is jealous of Job. He is clearly an inferior being to the Deity and can only touch Job with God's permission. How theologic thought advanced as the sum of revelation grew appears from a comparison of 2 Samuel 24:1, with 1 Chronicles 21:1. Whereas in the former passage David's sin was said to be due to "the wrath of the Lord" which "stirred up David", in the latter we read that "Satan moved David to number Israel". In Job 4:18, we seem to find a definite declaration of the fall: "In His angels He found wickedness."



The Septuagint of Job contains some instructive passages regarding avenging angels in whom we are perhaps to see fallen spirits, thus 33:23: "If a thousand death-dealing angels should be (against him) not one of them shall wound him"; and 36:14: "If their souls should perish in their youth (through rashness) yet their life shall be wounded by the angels"; and 21:15: "The riches unjustly accumulated shall be vomited up, an angel shall drag him out of his house;" cf. Proverbs 17:11; Psalm 34:5-6 and 77:49, and especially Ecclesiasticus 39:33, a text which, as far as can be gathered from the present state of the manuscript, was in the Hebrew original. In some of these passages, it is true, the angels may be regarded as avengers of God's justice without therefore being evil spirits.



In Zechariah 3:1-3, Satan is called the adversary who pleads before the Lord against Jesus the High Priest. Isaiah 14 and Ezekiel 28 are for the Fathers the loci classici regarding the fall of Satan (cf. Tertullian, Against Marcion 2.10); and Our Lord Himself has given colour to this view by using the imagery of the latter passage when saying to His Apostles: "I saw Satan like lightning falling from heaven" (Luke 10:18).



In New Testament times the idea of the two spiritual kingdoms is clearly established. The devil is a fallen angel who in his fall has drawn multitudes of the heavenly host in his train.



Our Lord terms him "the Prince of this world" (John 14:30); he is the tempter of the human race and tries to involve them in his fall (Matthew 25:41; 2 Peter 2:4; Ephesians 6:12; 2 Corinthians 11:14; 12:7). Christian imagery of the devil as the dragon is mainly derived from the Apocalypse (9:11-15 and 12:7-9), where he is termed "the angel of the bottomless pit", "the dragon", "the old serpent", etc., and is represented as having actually been in combat with Archangel Michael. The similarity between scenes such as these and the early Babylonian accounts of the struggle between Merodach and the dragon Tiamat is very striking.



Whether we are to trace its origin to vague reminiscences of the mighty saurians which once people the earth is a moot question, but the curious reader may consult Bousett, "The Anti-Christ Legend" (tr. by Keane, London, 1896). The translator has prefixed to it an interesting discussion on the origin of the Babylonian Dragon-Myth.



The term "angel" in the Septuagint



We have had occasion to mention the Septuagint version more than once, and it may not be amiss to indicate a few passages where it is our only source of information regarding the angels. The best known passage is Isaiah 9:6, where the Septuagint gives the name of the Messias, as "the Angel of great Counsel".



We have already drawn attention to Job 20:15, where the Septuagint reads "Angel" instead of "God", and to 36:14, where there seems to be question of evil angels. In 9:7, Septuagint (B) adds: "He is the Hebrew (5:19) say of "Behemoth": "He is the beginning of the ways of God, he that made him shall make his sword to approach him", the Septuagint reads: "He is the beginning of God's creation, made for His Angels to mock at", and exactly the same remark is made about "Leviathan" (41:24).



We have already seen that the Septuagint generally renders the term "sons of God" by "angels", but in Deuteronomy 32:43, the Septuagint has an addition in which both terms appear: "Rejoice in Him all ye heavens, and adore Him all ye angels of God; rejoice ye nations with His people, and magnify Him all ye Sons of God."



Nor does the Septuagint merely give us these additional references to angels; it sometimes enables us to correct difficult passages concerning them in the Vulgate and Massoretic text. Thus the difficult Elim of MT in Job 41:17, which the Vulgate renders by "angels", becomes "wild beasts" in the Septuagint version.



The early ideas as to the personality of the various angelic appearances are, as we have seen, remarkably vague. At first the angels are regarded in quite an impersonal way (Genesis 16:7).



They are God's vice-regents and are often identified with the Author of their message (Genesis 48:15-16). But while we read of "the Angels of God" meeting Jacob (Genesis 32:1) we at other times read of one who is termed "the Angel of God" par excellence, e.g. Genesis 31:11.



It is true that, owing to the Hebrew idiom, this may mean no more than "an angel of God", and the Septuagint renders it with or without the article at will; yet the three visitors at Mambre seem to have been of different ranks, though St. Paul (Hebrews 13:2) regarded them all as equally angels; as the story in Genesis 13 develops, the speaker is always "the Lord". Thus in the account of the Angel of the Lord who visited Gideon (Judges 6), the visitor is alternately spoken of as "the Angel of the Lord" and as "the Lord". Similarly, in Judges 13, the Angel of the Lord appears, and both Manue and his wife exclaim: "We shall certainly die because we have seen God." This want of clearness is particularly apparent in the various accounts of the Angel of Exodus.



In Judges 6, just now referred to, the Septuagint is very careful to render the Hebrew "Lord" by "the Angel of the Lord"; but in the story of the Exodus it is the Lord who goes before them in the pillar of a cloud (Exodus 13:21), and the Septuagint makes no change (cf. also Numbers 14:14, and Nehemiah 9:7-20. Yet in Exodus 14:19, their guide is termed "the Angel of God".



When we turn to Exodus 33, where God is angry with His people for worshipping the golden calf, it is hard not to feel that it is God Himself who has hitherto been their guide, but who now refuses to accompany them any longer. God offers an angel instead, but at Moses's petition He says (14) "My face shall go before thee", which the Septuagint reads by autos though the following verse shows that this rendering is clearly impossible, for Moses objects: "If Thou Thyself dost not go before us, bring us not out of this place."



But what does God mean by "my face"? Is it possible that some angel of specially high rank is intended, as in Isaiah 63:9 (cf. Tobit 12:15)? May not this be what is meant by "the angel of God" (cf. Numbers 20:16)?



That a process of evolution in theological thought accompanied the gradual unfolding of God's revelation need hardly be said, but it is especially marked in the various views entertained regarding the person of the Giver of the Law.



The Massoretic text as well as the Vulgate of Exodus 3 and 19-20 clearly represent the Supreme Being as appearing to Moses in the bush and on Mount Sinai; but the Septuagint version, while agreeing that it was God Himself who gave the Law, yet makes it "the angel of the Lord" who appeared in the bush.



By New Testament times the Septuagint view has prevailed, and it is now not merely in the bush that the angel of the Lord, and not God Himself appears, but the angel is also the Giver of the Law (cf. Galatians 3:19; Hebrews 2:2; Acts 7:30). The person of "the angel of the Lord" finds a counterpart in the personification of Wisdom in the Sapiential books and in at least one passage (Zechariah 3:1) it seems to stand for that "Son of Man" whom Daniel (7:13) saw brought before "the Ancient of Days".



Zacharias says: "And the Lord showed me Jesus the high priest standing before the angel of the Lord, and Satan stood on His right hand to be His adversary". Tertullian regards many of these passages as preludes to the Incarnation; as the Word of God adumbrating the sublime character in which He is one day to reveal Himself to men (cf. Against Praxeas 16; Against Marcion 2.27, 3.9, 1.10, 1.21-22).



It is possible, then, that in these confused views we can trace vague gropings after certain dogmatic truths regarding the Trinity, reminiscences perhaps of the early revelation of which the Protevangelium in Genesis 3 is but a relic. The earlier Fathers, going by the letter of the text, maintained that it was actually God Himself who appeared. He who appeared was called God and acted as God.



It was not unnatural then for Tertullian, as we have already seen, to regard such manifestations in the light of preludes to the Incarnation, and most of the Eastern Fathers followed the same line of thought. It was held as recently as 1851 by Vandenbroeck, "Dissertatio Theologica de Theophaniis sub Veteri Testamento" (Louvain).



But the great Latins, St. Jerome, St. Augustine, and St. Gregory the Great, held the opposite view, and the Scholastics as a body followed them. St. Augustine (Sermo vii, de Scripturis, P.G. V) when treating of the burning bush (Exodus 3) says: "That the same person who spoke to Moses should be deemed both the Lord and an angel of the Lord, is very hard to understand. It is a question which forbids any rash assertions but rather demands careful investigation . . .



Some maintain that he is called both the Lord and the angel of the Lord because he was Christ, indeed the prophet (Isaiah 9:6, Septuagint Version) clearly styles Christ the 'Angel of great Counsel.'"



The saint proceeds to show that such a view is tenable though we must be careful not to fall into Arianism in stating it. He points out, however, that if we hold that it was an angel who appeared, we must explain how he came to be called "the Lord," and he proceeds to show how this might be: "Elsewhere in the Bible when a prophet speaks it is yet said to be the Lord who speaks, not of course because the prophet is the Lord but because the Lord is in the prophet; and so in the same way when the Lord condescends to speak through the mouth of a prophet or an angel, it is the same as when he speaks by a prophet or apostle, and the angel is correctly termed an angel if we consider him himself, but equally correctly is he termed 'the Lord' because God dwells in him."



He concludes: "It is the name of the indweller, not of the temple."



And a little further on: "It seems to me that we shall most correctly say that our forefathers recognized the Lord in the angel," and he adduces the authority of the New Testament writers who clearly so understood it and yet sometimes allowed the same confusion of terms (cf. Hebrews 2:2, and Acts 7:31-33).



The saint discusses the same question even more elaborately, "In Heptateuchum," lib. vii, 54, P.G. III, 558. As an instance of how convinced some of the Fathers were in holding the opposite view, we may note Theodoret's words (In Exod.): "The whole passage (Exodus 3) shows that it was God who appeared to him. But (Moses) called Him an angel in order to let us know that it was not God the Father whom he saw -- for whose angel could the Father be? -- but the Only-begotten Son, the Angel of great Counsel" (cf. Eusebius, Church History I.2.7; St. Irenaeus, Against Heresies 3:6).



But the view propounded by the Latin Fathers was destined to live in the Church, and the Scholastics reduced it to a system (cf. St. Thomas, Quaest., Disp., De Potentia, vi, 8, ad 3am); and for a very good exposition of both sides of the question, cf. "Revue biblique," 1894, 232-247.



Angels in Babylonian literature





The Bible has shown us that a belief in angels, or spirits intermediate between God and man, is a characteristic of the Semitic people. It is therefore interesting to trace this belief in the Semites of Babylonia.



According to Sayce (The Religions of Ancient Egypt and Babylonia, Gifford Lectures, 1901), the engrafting of Semitic beliefs on the earliest Sumerian religion of Babylonia is marked by the entrance of angels or sukallin in their theosophy. Thus we find an interesting parallel to "the angels of the Lord" in Nebo, "the minister of Merodach" (ibid., 355). He is also termed the "angel" or interpreter of the will or Merodach (ibid., 456), and Sayce accepts Hommel's statement that it can be shown from the Minean inscriptions that primitive Semitic religion consisted of moon and star worship, the moon-god Athtar and an "angel" god standing at the head of the pantheon (ibid., 315).



The Biblical conflict between the kingdoms of good and evil finds its parallel in the "spirits of heaven" or the Igigi--who constituted the "host" of which Ninip was the champion (and from who he received the title of "chief of the angels") and the "spirits of the earth", or Annuna-Ki, who dwelt in Hades (ibid. 355). The Babylonian sukalli corresponded to the spirit-messengers of the Bible; they declared their Lord's will and executed his behests (ibid., 361). Some of them appear to have been more than messengers; they were the interpreters and vicegerents of the supreme deity, thus Nebo is "the prophet of Borsippa".



These angels are even termed "the sons" of the deity whose vicegerents they are; thus Ninip, at one time the messenger of En-lil, is transformed into his son just as Merodach becomes the son of Ea (ibid., 496).



The Babylonian accounts of the Creation and the Flood do not contrast very favourably with the Biblical accounts, and the same must be said of the chaotic hierarchies of gods and angels which modern research has revealed. perhaps we are justified in seeing all forms of religion vestiges of a primitive nature-worship which has at times succeeded in debasing the purer revelation, and which, where that primitive revelation has not received successive increments as among the Hebrews, results in an abundant crop of weeds.



Thus the Bible certainly sanctions the idea of certain angels being in charge of special districts (cf. Daniel 10, and above). This belief persists in a debased form in the Arab notion of Genii, or Jinns, who haunt particular spots.



A reference to it is perhaps to be found in Genesis 32:1-2: "Jacob also went on the journey he had begun: and the angels of God met him: And when he saw then he said: These are the camps of God, and he called the name of that place Mahanaim, that is, 'Camps.'" Recent explorations in the Arab district about Petra have revealed certain precincts marked off with stones as the abiding-laces of angels, and the nomad tribes frequent them for prayer and sacrifice.



These places bear a name which corresponds exactly with the "Mahanaim" of the above passage in Genesis (cf. Lagrange, Religions Semitques, 184, and Robertson Smith, Religion of the Semites, 445). Jacob's vision at Bethel (Genesis 28:12) may perhaps come under the same category. Suffice it to say that not everything in the Bible is revelation, and that the object of the inspired writings is not merely to tell us new truths but also to make clearer certain truths taught us by nature.



The modern view, which tends to regard everything Babylonian as absolutely primitive and which seems to think that because critics affix a late date to the Biblical writings the religion therein contained must also be late, may be seen in Haag, "Theologie Biblique" (339). This writer sees in the Biblical angels only primitive deities debased into demi-gods by the triumphant progress of Monotheism.



Angels in the Zend-Avesta



Attempts have also been made to trace a connection between the angels of the Bible and the "great archangels" or "Amesha-Spentas" of the Zend-Avesta.



That the Persian domination and the Babylonian captivity exerted a large influence upon the Hebrew conception of the angels is acknowledged in the Talmud of Jerusalem, Rosch Haschanna, 56, where it is said that the names of the angels were introduced from Babylon. It is, however, by no means clear that the angelic beings who figure so largely in the pages of the Avesta are to be referred to the older Persian Neo-Zoroastrianism of the Sassanides.



If this be the case, as Darmesteter holds, we should rather reverse the position and attribute the Zoroastrian angels to the influence of the Bible and of Philo. Stress has been laid upon the similarity between the Biblical "seven who stand before God" and the seven Amesha-Spentas of the Zend-Avesta.



But it must be noted that these latter are really six, the number seven is only obtained by counting "their father, Ahura-Mazda," among them as their chief. Moreover, these Zoroastrian archangels are more abstract that concrete; they are not individuals charged with weighty missions as in the Bible.



Angels in the New Testament



Hitherto we have dwelt almost exclusively on the angels of the Old Testament, whose visits and messages have been by no means rare; but when we come to the New Testament their name appears on every page and the number of references to them equals those in the Old Dispensation.



It is their privilege to announce to Zachary and Mary the dawn of Redemption, and to the shepherds its actual accomplishment. Our Lord in His discourses talks of them as one who actually saw them, and who, whilst "conversing amongst men", was yet receiving the silent unseen adoration of the hosts of heaven.



He describes their life in heaven (Matthew 22:30; Luke 20:36); He tell us how they form a bodyguard round Him and at a word from Him would avenge Him on His enemies (Matthew 26:53); it is the privilege of one of them to assist Him in His Agony and sweat of Blood.



More than once He speaks of them as auxiliaries and witnesses at the final judgment (Matthew 16:27), which indeed they will prepare (13:39-49); and lastly, they are the joyous witnesses of His triumphant Resurrection (28:2).



It is easy for skeptical minds to see in these angelic hosts the mere play of Hebrew fancy and the rank growth of superstition, but do not the records of the angels who figure in the Bible supply a most natural and harmonious progression?



In the opening page of the sacred story of the Jewish nation is chose out from amongst others as the depositary of God's promise; as the people from whose stock He would one day raise up a Redeemer. The angels appear in the course of this chosen people's history, now as God's messengers, now as that people's guides; at one time they are the bestowers of God's law, at another they actually prefigure the Redeemer Whose divine purpose they are helping to mature.



They converse with His prophets, with David and Elias, with Daniel and Zacharias; they slay the hosts camped against Israel, they serve as guides to God's servants, and the last prophet, Malachi, bears a name of peculiar significance; "the Angel of Jehovah." He seems to sum up in his very name the previous "ministry by the hands of angels", as though God would thus recall the old-time glories of the Exodus and Sinai.



The Septuagint, indeed, seems not to know his name as that of an individual prophet and its rendering of the opening verse of his prophecy is peculiarly solemn: "The burden of the Word of the Lord of Israel by the hand of His angel; lay it up in your hearts." All this loving ministry on the part of the angels is solely for the sake of the Saviour, on Whose face they desire to look.



Hence when the fullness of time was arrived it is they who bring the glad message, and sing "Gloria in excelsis Deo". They guide the newborn King of Angels in His hurried flight into Egypt, and minister to Him in the desert.



His second coming and the dire events that must precede that, are revealed to His chosen servant in the island of Patmos, It is a question of revelation again, and consequently its ministers and messengers of old appear once more in the sacred story and the record of God's revealing love ends fittingly almost as it had begun: "I, Jesus, have sent My angel to testify to you these things in the churches"



(Revelation 22:16). It is easy for the student to trace the influence of surrounding nations and of other religions in the Biblical account of the angels. Indeed it is needful and instructive to do so, but it would be wrong to shut our eyes to the higher line of development which we have shown and which brings out so strikingly the marvellous unity and harmony of the whole divine story of the Bible.
