First of all, this Blog is dedicated to the Holy Face of Jesus Christ; THE greatest Sign of all time. To Him be the glory. “Convert us O Lord, show us thy Face and we shall be saved” (Psalm 80:3).
This is the first post for this End Times Blog which was encouraged by others around me. I make no claims about being a Prophet, but like many, I have had an interest in Catholic Prophecy and Eschatology for some time. Others encouraged me to share this knowledge. I began this blog as a way of explaining to others what I have read. I will try to correlate it with Sacred Scripture which is what we are supposed to trust. My purpose is to share what I know and accept that I may not always be correct. I am tertiary educated and had a long professional life helping others with the tribulations of life. Hopefully what I share will help others in their faith journey and to make sense of the confusion that characterises these End Times. Remember, there is only one person you need to have complete faith in and that is Jesus Christ.
There is a mountain of “stuff” on the internet. Most of it is worthless, clearly false, likely of diabolical origin and designed as “click bait” to earn money for the sponsor from advertising. Do a search of Youtube on the “End Times” and you will get a plethora of wanna-be prophets, trying to make money out of sensationalism. Jesus warned us this would happen. I have no desire to become another one and seek no income from advertising. What I give is given freely. There will be no place for comments as I simply do not have the time to respond, or go chasing down rabbit holes. I encourage the reader to do their own research. Read the Bible and meditate on it.
Catholic history is replete with prophecy from the Saints and Seers of the Church over the last 2000 years. I find most are completely ignorant of it. Yet God continues to reveal Himself to us. Catholic History began with Jesus Christ Himself. A fine example of prophecy in the Church is His discourse on Mt Olivet about the destruction of the then Temple in Jerusalem (Mathew 24). Jesus’ Prophecy was as relevant then as it is today, even though the Temple was later destroyed by the Romans. Just as Jesus is “The Word of God”; alive and active; Sacred Scripture therefore has a timeless element to it. By way of example: as Christ had to go through His Passion and climb Calvary so too will the Body of Christ (The Church). However, Christ also told us that He has overcome the world and that satan will not prevail. So Church history will continue.
This brings us to the Tribulation and the End Times (not the end of time) the beginnings of which have been going on for some time. In one sense we have been in the “End Times” since the Incarnation and satan was subsequently forced to witness his own defeat at the Crucifixion. However, Scriptures must be fulfilled and will continue to be so until the end of time (Mathew 24:35). And only the Father knows when that will be (Mathew 24:36). The fact that Scripture exists indicates to us that time will go on. Much has yet to be revealed and fulfilled. I believe you and I are but passing instruments and witnesses to the unfolding of the Will of God in time. Hopefully we can bring a few others along with us.
Apart from the above, I intend to blog about such topics as Eschatology, the Catholic Church, Our Holy Mother Mary and her role in salvation history, past, present and future. Like it or not Mary is a key figure in the work of Redemption. Underlining all of this is Jesus Christ. No doubt, some may be keen to read about the Antichrist that is mentioned in the Bible, and when we can expect him to appear. I believe that is not far away. Yet in another sense, which Antichrist do you want to hear about: Antiochus Epiphanes IV, Nero, Napoleon, Adolf Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot or one of the other numerous and murderous figures that have appeared throughout history? The tribulation and destruction of humanity is the same and history keeps repeating itself. That is why the “book of Prophecy”, the Bible is still relevant. I will mention various figures and events as the need arises. I would also like to blog about the various “signs of the times” that only those who choose not to see will miss.
For me, Eschatology is a study in Hope. It culminates in the salvation and redemption of humanity with our God. This Blog is unashamedly Catholic and I make no apologies for that.
May Jesus and Mary be loved by all hearts.
