My friends,
Take a look at the world
around us. Take a look at the United States. The general state of the world and
the United States is to abandon Almighty God. Tolerance does not mean passing
laws that defend and protect evil. How many of those who call themselves the
people of God march right along with the passing of ungodly laws? How many who
call themselves the people of God or Christian seek diligently and pray
continually for the true unity of Christianity? How many are willing to abandon
untruths and their own pride and seek the one truth in unity with the one
Christ. I speak not of any one church group or denomination but to all who call
themselves the Body of Christ.
How many priests,
pastors, or ministers or whatever one may call oneself are face down at the feet
of Almighty God praying for true unity in the Body of Christ rather than the
sole promotion of one’s special group who alone holds all truth? Do you think
that the body of Christ will not be held responsible? How many scream against a
priest because it sounds Catholic and claim that Holy Scripture calls us all
priests? You do so at your own peril, if you indeed choose to follow this then
I advise you to be on your face to Almighty God seeking true unity along with
all other priests and religious.
Heed my friends the
warning of Joel to those who were priests in the order of Aaron, has God
changed? Or is Almighty God the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow? Heed my
friends, abandon pride and ego and seek the truth in Christ Jesus, seek the
true unity in the Body of Christ.
Joel the prophet
13 Gird yourselves, and lament, O you priests,
howl, you ministers of the altars: go in, lie in sackcloth, you ministers of my
God: because sacrifice and libation is cut off from the house of your God. 14 Sanctify
you a fast, call an assembly; gather together the ancients, all the inhabitants
of the land into the house of your God: and cry you to the Lord: 15 Ah,
ah, ah, for the day: because the day of the Lord is at hand, and it shall come
like destruction from the mighty. 16 Is not your food cut off
before your eyes, joy and gladness from the house of our God? 17 The
beasts have rotted in their dung, the barns are destroyed, the storehouses are
broken down: because the corn is confounded. 18 Why did the beast
groan, why did the herds of cattle low? because there is no pasture for them:
yea, and the flocks of sheep are perished.
19 To you, O Lord, will I cry: because fire has
devoured the beautiful places of the wilderness, and the flame has burnt all
the trees of the country. 20 Yea and the beasts of the field have
looked up to you, as a garden bed that thirsts after rain, for the springs of
waters are dried up, and fire has devoured the beautiful places of the
wilderness.
1 Blow you the trumpet in Sion, sound an alarm
in my holy mountain, let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: because the
day of the Lord comes, because it is nigh at hand, 2 A day of
darkness, and of gloominess, a day of clouds and whirlwinds: a numerous and
strong people as the morning spread upon the mountains: the like to it has not
been from the beginning, nor shall be after it even to the years of generation
and generation. 3 Before the face thereof a devouring fire, and
behind it a burning flame: the land is like a garden of pleasure before it, and
behind it a desolate wilderness, neither is there any one that can escape it. 4 The
appearance of them is as the appearance of horses, and they shall run like
horsemen. 5 They shall leap like the noise of chariots upon the
tops of mountains, like the noise of a flame of fire devouring the stubble, as
a strong people prepared to battle. 6 At their presence the people
shall be in grievous pains: all faces shall be made like a kettle.
7 They shall run like valiant men: like men of
war they shall scale the wall: the men shall march every one on his way, and
they shall not turn aside from their ranks. 8 No one shall press
upon his brother: they shall walk every one in his path: yea, and they shall
fall through the windows, and shall take no harm. 9 They shall enter
into the city: they shall run upon the wall, they shall climb up the houses,
they shall come in at the windows as a thief. 10 At their presence
the earth has trembled, the heavens are moved: the sun and moon are darkened,
and the stars have withdrawn their shining. 11 And the Lord has
uttered his voice before the face of his army: for his armies are exceeding
great, for they are strong and execute his word: for the day of the Lord is
great and very terrible: and who can stand it?
