| While the World's Calendar Proves the Vicar Has the Power to Bind on Earth The Rosary Provides Millennial Proof |
||||||
| By reviewing the celebration of the Orthodox Christmas this week in a previous story, we believe we provided an easy understanding that the Vicar of Christ, as Jesus promised, has the power to bind on Earth and in Heaven. This is apparent in the reality of how the world marks time. But is there any further proof that can aid us in understanding this essential fact? And, if the vicar has this incredible power, what, then, do we, as believers, need to do? To ascertain the answer to these questions, it is important to realize that the power of the Vicar of Christ is not only apparent in the world's calendar, but also manifests itself in the fact that Jesus and His Mother still work within the confines of the Roman Catholic Church when speaking to mankind. As much as we love the Orthodox Church and wish our Mass would be more liturgically like it, there is no Fatima in the world of the Orthodox; no Immaculate Conception dogma, no Divine Mercy Image. These were all given to the world in apparitions of Jesus and Mary to faithful souls of the Roman Catholic Church in the 2nd Millennium and bear the final stamp of approval by the Magisterium. Therefore, in the 2nd Millennium, Jesus and Mary have ensured that they have spoken to the world not through splinter groups or evangelicals, but through the Magisterium of the Roman pontiff. In this regard, they have particularly — and consistently — expressed their desire for mankind to pray something that is considered to be a “Catholic” devotion. In reality, this devotion, which we hope all recognize as the Rosary, was given by the Virgin Mary to St. Dominic in the 13th Century, long before there was such a thing as “protest-antism.” It has, of course, been maintained by the Saints of the Church and the faithful. On the other hand, the protest-ants, in their stupidity, abhor it. This despite the fact that every apparition of Jesus to any human being that has been proven to be miraculous in nature shows a clear and consistent support by our Lord for people to say — willingly — “Hail Mary!” But while the scripturally based lessons of the Rosary are clearcut and Christ-oriented, there is also, we believe, another more profound message behind its meditations. A message that provides the Millennial Proof of the power of the Rosary and why 2003 is a critical time in the Great Spiritual Battle. In this regard, please remember the world fails to realize that time and its relationship to Jesus’ Second Coming has been bound by God’s deputy — and this yoke can never be thrown off. “How so?” you rightfully ask. The answer, we believe, can be found in the Scriptures. “But of this one thing be not ignorant, my beloved, that one day with the Lord is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day” II Peter 3:8. So let us look at time from the perspective of Heaven in the sense that it has been bound by the Vicar of Christ on Earth. We are not concerned, as the secular world is, as to just when King Herod lived and died, which marks the actual time frame in which Jesus was born, whether it’s 6 B.C., 4 B.C. or 1 A.D. No, to Heaven, which has hidden this great mystery to us, it does not matter. It only matters that the vicar has given us a calendar in which our year now reflects dates marking the 3rd Millennium. The Third Day. The First Day of 1,000 years was the 1st Millennium as far as the Lord is concerned for a day is but a thousand years to Him. The Second Day marks the second 1,000 years we have just put behind us. In this reality check from the perspective of Heaven’s time clock, we must understand that it is only two days on the Lord’s watch since He walked the Earth. Indeed, in this review of time from His scriptural perspective — a perspective handed down to us from the first Vicar of Christ, St. Peter — we have just entered into the 3rd Day, the 3rd Millennium. And what did Jesus do on the 3rd Day? On the 3rd Day, He rose! That is why we believe we need to think of history — His Story — not from a secular perspective, which negates anything spiritual, but from His. In Jesus and Mary's perspective there is nothing other than the Great Spiritual Battle. So let’s look at time from this angle. And please do not get caught up in technicalities, but with the faith of a child, see it from the angle of the Lord, His Mother and the Angels. We can see it this way in great symbolism. In this thought then, the first thousand years of the Church’s history — the 1st Millennium — is to the Lord in Heaven the first day. And the 1st Millennium mimics the Joyful Mysteries of the Rosary: * In the Joyful Mysteries the Holy Child was born. * In the 1st Millennium, the first day on the Lord’s time clock bound by His vicar, the Church was born. * The Holy Child had to go underground to escape persecution. * The Church had to go underground to escape persecution. * The Holy Child grew up, got strong and took on the world. * At the end of the 1st Millennium, the Church grew up, got strong and IT WAS the world. While not perfect like the Holy Child, no one, king, prince or commoner, could do anything without the Church. It was in Church history a Joyful time for the Lord; while not perfect, His Kingdom had grown across the known Earth. The second Mysteries of the Rosary are Sorrowful and the second day, the 2nd Millennium, mimics these sorrows: * The Lord’s body was scourged and ripped apart by the Roman flagellation device. * The Body of Christ was scourged and ripped apart by the Great Schism of 1054, when the Greeks and Latins split from each other right at the beginning of the second day. * Lies were told about Jesus and He was mocked by His own people. * In the middle of the 2nd Millennium, lies were spoken about the Church and it was mocked by its own people during the “reformation.” * At the end of His life, Jesus was Crucified outside the walls of Jerusalem because of the words He spoke. * At the end of the 2nd Millennium, the pope, the Vicar of Christ, John Paul II was crucified inside Jerusalem during his pilgrimage there in the Great Jubilee Year over one word He refused to speak: “Holocaust.” How Sorrowful to the Lord. His Kingdom, like Him, by the end of the second day — the 2nd Millennium — had been rejected by the world. But now we are in the 3rd Day — the 3rd Millennium. And, if there is any Truth to our scenario, then the 3rd Day, the 3rd Millennium, we pray, must mimic the Glorious Mysteries of the Rosary! * In the first Glorious Mystery, on the third day, in the dark of the hour, Jesus rose, Resurrected and glorified! His enemies had thought Him dead; now He was alive, soon to reign at His Father’s Right Hand! * Today, at the dawn of the 3rd Millennium, in the dark of the hour, the enemies of the Church and its vicar believe both are as good as dead. The world gloats over scandals in the Church, hoping and believing it will cause an inevitable demise. Instead, these people — those who hate Christ and His Church — have forgotten that time on Earth has been bound by the Vicar of Christ. And today’s vicar has bound this year to a special prayer, the one Mary asked for at Fatima. It is the same prayer She gave to St. Dominic seven centuries ago and which the faithful have used to defeat the enemies of God throughout the 2nd Day — the 2nd Millennium. Most importantly, then, the 3rd Year of the 3rd Millennium — the 3rd Day in Heaven’s time — is, by the actions of John Paul II, the Year of the Rosary! This critical act has bound 2003 in a special way before Heaven and on Earth. Could this year, then, be the continuation of the Church fulfilling the remaining parts of the Glorious Mysteries? Did the pope already accomplish the Resurrection process for the Church when, before God in the Great Jubilee Year, he asked for forgiveness, not regarding Catholic dogma, but regarding imperfect Church history? If this is so, then when will the remaining four Glorious Mysteries occur in this millennium? As they say, only God knows. But we can be assured of this: the last Glorious Mystery of the Rosary is the crowning of Mary as Queen of Heaven and Earth! This mystery cannot occur on Earth until Her Father, Son and Spouse intercede on Her behalf! For mankind will not crown Mary. But we, those who are Mary’s children for love of Her Son, can help things along, if we ask for it! That is the answer to the question we posed at the beginning of this article. In support of the vicar’s incredible power, what do we, as believers, need to do? Simple: let us NOT ask for the Crowning of Mary on Earth that CANNOT be accomplished by a deputy. Let us ask for Her Crowning before all of mankind that can only be accomplished by a Sovereign. For as a Sovereign, the Lord Jesus did not wait for the end of the third day to accomplish the Glorious Mystery of His Resurrection. He did so right at the beginning of the third day. We are at the beginning of the Third Day according to Heaven’s time clock! And it is critical to remember that the Lord Jesus only TEMPORARILY handed over His authority to His deputy until His return! It was but a short time after His Resurrection on the 3rd Day to His Ascension and His Promise to return. How short will that time be before Jesus, following the Glorious Mysteries of the Rosary, returns and reigns as He promised now that we have entered this critical 3rd Day? The Rosary provides the Millennial Proof that it cannot be far off since the Promise was made at His Ascension which is the Second of the five Glorious Mysteries! Therefore, at the beginning of this 3rd Day on Heaven’s time clock — the 3rd Millennium — we plead with the Lord to answer not only our prayers, but His Mother’s as the Queen of the Rosary and the Queen of Peace. For these prayers and this Millennium have been bound to Her by His vicar. And anyone who truly knows the Heart of Mary knows it is not Her prayer for another president to rule, prime minister, nor even a pope. It is Her prayer for Her Son to return and rule — the true and complete Triumph of Her Immaculate Heart as She prophesied at Fatima. And so the world asks, “Where is the promise of His coming?” II Peter 3:4. The promise of His coming is in the promise of the Rosary. And in the Rosary is the Millennial Proof. The proof that the 1st and 2nd Mysteries of the Rosary, the Joyful and the Sorrowful, were symbolically fulfilled in the last two millennium. Now we await the Glorious Mysteries to be fulfilled on the 3rd Day in the 3rd Millennium and the fulfillment of the Promise of His coming; the only way the fifth and final Glorious Mystery of the Rosary, the Crowning of Mary on Earth, can be accomplished! Let us take advantage, then, of this time — time and a powerful prayer bound together in the Year of the Rosary by the Vicar of Christ — and join our Queen in Her prayer: not to ask Jesus for another deputy, president or prime minister, but for the Sovereign Himself to Reign. And, as the King of All Nations, to crown His Mother as our Queen, to rule at His Right Hand on Earth as Jesus does in Glorious Mystery with His Father in Heaven! With this thought in mind, may we, as Her children, add to our Rosaries this simple prayer in this special year to aid the vicar in his incredible power, and do what we, as believers, need to do: ask to receive! Therefore, we ask the Lord Jesus, as the King of All Nations, to return and reign and Enthrone our Queen O King! © 2003 Agnus Dei Presents! |
