The Witnesses

The Holy Bible Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision | 1749-1752

[Trad Bishop]

St. Matthew 24:34~39: "Amen I say to you, that this generation shall not pass till all these things be done. Heaven and Earth shall pass, but My words shall not pass. But of that day and hour no one knows, no not the angels of Heaven, but the Father alone. And as in the days of Noe, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For as in the days of the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, even till that day in which Noe entered into the Ark, and they knew not till the flood came, and took them all away; so also shall the coming of the Son of man be."

For those who have read my previous posts and the traditional Catholic explanations based on the Bible, this should sound familiar. There are many, myself included, who believe that we are the generation spoken of. I personally believe that the recent phenomenon of four blood moons dissected by a total eclipse is our final advanced notice of the end of the first six thousand years of mankind. This does indicate that there's yet another period of a thousand years as referenced in Daniel 12:1: "But at that time shall Michael rise up, the great prince, who stands for the children of thy people: And a time shall come such as never was from the time that nations began even until that time. And at that time shall thy people be saved, everyone that shall be found written in the book."

God being God, as St. Paul describes Him in Hebrews 13:8: "Jesus Christ, yesterday, and today; and the same forever" will cleanse the Earth as in the days of Noe with only a small remnant being the seed for those who, as in Apocalypse 20:4..."And they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years." Thus our Lord's reference in St. Matthew 24 to 'as in the days of Noe' is not in the least bit metaphorical. No doubt He truly once again repents of having restarted the human race after the flood. A quick perusal of the Book of Apocalypse and the punishments He's going to send to the Earth can leave us no doubt. Chapter 20 of this book references Ezekiel 38 & 39 which gives us a look at the end of the New Era which as St. Peter says in his Second Epistle 3:12: "Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of the Lord, by which the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with the burning heat."

THUS MY EMPHASIS ON SINS OF THE FLESH WHICH ARE INIQUITY, THAT IS SINS UNTO DEATH,
AND THEY ARE RAMPANT AND GROWING EXPONENTIALLY!

Contrary to what many people especially in the Protestant world are preaching and teaching, the arrival of The Witnesses about whom a whole biblical chapter is written (Apocalypse 11) is the next event of the end times scenario and not the Rapture. You may laugh and jeer and contempt what this Treatise says as the people in Apcalpyse 11 will do to The Witnesses and what they have to say, even unto killing them when their time is through, but it will ring true to you because you will have heard it before. Remember, I am a Watchman. Therefore, I am sounding the alarm as in Ezekiel 33:2~7: "Son of man, speak to the children of thy people, and say to them: When I bring the sword upon a land, if the people of the land take a man, one of their meanest, and make him a watchman over them: Then he that hears the sound of the trumpet, whosoever he be, and does not look to himself, if the sword come, and cut him off: His blood shall be upon his own head. He heard the sound of the trumpet and did not look to himself, his blood shall be upon him: But if he look to himself, he shall save his life.(eternal life) And if the watchman see the sword coming, and sound not the trumpet: And the people look not to themselves, and the sword come, and cut off a soul from among them: He is indeed taken away in his iniquity, but I will require his blood at the hand of the watchman. So thou, O son of man I have made thee a watchman to the house of Israel(the Church): Therefore thou shalt hear the word from My mouth and shalt tell it them from Me."

Through the above you can see that God has tied my eternal destiny to warning you of yours. I don't know about you, but I want to go to Heaven. So I will do my duty as your watchman. You may continue to throw your lot in with the crew of St. John 6:61 and say:... "This saying is hard, and who can hear it?" That is your prerogative as one with a free will, but I will have done my job. As to your responsibility to what I will say to you in the name of the Lord, see Ezekiel 33:8~29.

This is the first installment of several, God willing, and as He wills it in His timing. Please do not react in the manner of those people spoken of in Ezekiel 33:30~33.
Note: I am a consecrated Bishop and Bishop in Greek is Episcopo which means 'Watchman'. Like the Good Samaritan I can't just walk by and say and do nothing. God definitely expects more of me than that. The members of this forum could never fit in a single church. This is the most effective way for me to communicate with God's children. As I have said before I would not have you ignorant my brothers and sisters. Please see also my previous post, "Its The Sin Dummy!"

Welcome to the FreeRepublic.com! There is quite an active Bible Prophecy community here, and you are more than welcome to join in.

Here are some recent insights for your consideration:

As we approach the time of the end, this is looking as if it is one of those Mysteries that was hidden in plain site, to be revealed at the time of the end.

Mark 23:32 “But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. [1]

Instead of telling us that we could not know when He was coming back, Jesus was telling us WHERE TO LOOK FOR THE ANSWER! (Sorry for shouting, but this is just too good!)

In the Book of Creation, the Jewish mystics recorded: “And He created His universe with three books (Sepharim), with text (Sepher) with number (Sephar) and with communication (Sippur).” [2}

“With three books Sefer Yetzirah now begins to define the word Sefirah, the Hebrew designation for the divine emanations that form the basis of creation. The Hebrew word for book, Sepher (), has the same root as the word Sephirah (), except that the former is masculine and the latter is feminine. These three books are said to be “text, number, and communication.” The Hebrew word for “text” here is Sepher (), which literally means “book.” “Number” is Sephar (), from which the English word “cipher” is derived. “Communication” is Sippur (), which more literally is “telling.” These three divisions respectively represent quality, quantity, and communication. These are the letters, numbers, and the manner in which they are used. 49 These three books correspond to the three divisions of creation defined by Sefer Yetzirah, namely, “Universe, Year, and Soul.” In more modern terms, these would be called space, time and spirit. “Universe” refers to the dimensions of space, “year” to time, and “soul” to the spiritual dimension.” [3]

Jesus is the Word (text), the Holy Spirit is obviously “communication”, so that leads to the Father being associated with Number!

When I told this to my wife, She said: “No one comes to the Father but through me!” BINGO! One can’t get to the numbers except by reading and believing the text!
