to Hear
What Does This Really Mean?
Who Are Those Who Possess Them?

PURPOSE
The purpose of this document is to further clarify to our
many readers what Our Lord Jesus Christ
meant by: "May those who have Eyes,
See; and those who have Ears,
Hear."
BACKGROUND
Before
entering into this matter in full, remember: If
you don't see
all yet, do not be terribly concerned. "Seeing" is process that
develops at a rate determined by God, a rate quite unique for each soul
already marked from all Eternity to be counted amongst those who will
Have Eyes to See and Ears to Hear
Our Lord Jesus Christ used the "Eyes to See and Ears to Hear"
terminology frequently and yet many of the Faithful take this warning
lightly because they believe that they have already been marked for
Heaven, so, why worry? Well, we will show you why we should be
concerned about every Word Our Lord spoke for our benefit - not His.
In Luke 13:
24-28 we read:
Strive
to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall
not be able.
When once the master of the house is
risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and
to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and he shall answer and say unto you, I
know you not whence ye are: Then shall ye begin to say, We
have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our
streets. But he shall
say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye
workers of iniquity.
There shall be weeping and gnashing
of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the
prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust
out. And
they shall come from the east, and from the west, and from the north,
and from the south, and shall sit down in the kingdom of God. And, behold,
there are last which shall be first, and there are first which shall be
last.
Let us carefully ponder about this particular phrase: "We have eaten and drunk in thy presence,
and thou hast taught in our streets."
Who would make such a plea?
Those whom the "Holy Ones" in a
deceptive manner and with false piety call "sinners"? Those who never
go to any Church nor honor the Lord on the Sabbath or any other day?
Those who do not believe in God? Those who are not quite sure about the
reality of God? Those who reject God?
Of course not! It is those who
believe that "they have been marked for Heaven" ("Saved" as some
call themselves) and do not need to do anything else but "lord" over
everyone else.
Brethren, appearances are dangerously deceiving - and that is exactly
the way God wants it.
In the
DETAILS section of
this document we shall reprint a "cute story" - the moral of which we
will utilize to bring the final point of this document to bear.
DETAILS
First:
The "Cute Story"
A man and his dog were walking
along a road. The man was enjoying the scenery, when it suddenly
occurred to him that he
was dead. He remembered dying, and
that the dog walking beside him had been dead for years. He wondered
where the road
was leading them.
After a while, they came to a high,
white stone wall along one side of the road. It looked like fine
marble. At the top
of a long hill, it was broken by a
tall arch that glowed in the sunlight.
When he was standing before it he saw
a magnificent gate in the arch that looked like mother-of-pearl, and
the street
that led to the gate looked like pure
gold. He and the dog walked toward the gate, and as he got closer, he
saw a man
at a desk to one side. When he was
close enough, he called out, "Excuse me, where are we?" "This is
Heaven, sir," the
man answered.
"Wow! Would you happen to have some
water?" the man asked. "Of course, sir. Come right in, and I'll have
some ice water
brought right up."
The man gestured, and the gate began
to open. "Can my friend," gesturing toward his dog, "come in, too?" the
traveler
asked. "I'm sorry, sir, but we don't
accept pets."
The man thought a moment and then
turned back toward the road and continued the way he had been going
with his dog.
After another long walk, and at the
top of another long hill, he came to a dirt road leading through a farm
gate that
looked as if it had never been
closed. There was no fence. As he approached the gate, he saw a man
inside, leaning
against a tree and reading a book.
"Excuse me!" he called to the man.
"Do you have any water?" "Yeah, sure, there's a pump over there, come
on in."
"How about my friend here?" the
traveler gestured to the dog. "There should be a bowl by the pump."
They went through the gate, and sure
enough, there was an old-fashioned hand pump with a bowl beside it. The
traveler
filled the water bowl and took a long
drink himself, then he gave some to the dog.
When they were full, he and the dog
walked back toward the man who was standing by the tree. "What do you
call this
place?" the traveler asked. "This is
Heaven," he answered.
"Well, that's confusing," the
traveler said. "The man down the road said that was Heaven, too."
"Oh, you mean the place with the gold
street and pearly gates? Nope. That's hell."
"Doesn't it make you mad for them to
use your name like that?"
"No, we're just happy that they
screen out the folks who would leave their best friends behind."
Second:
Some Commentaries
If we strive to have Jesus as our best friend, we would never
leave Him behind regardless of what appearances may be, and if He goes
where we go it will show through our behavior, choices and priorities in everything - in spite of
our miserable and fallen human condition.
Now, why would Heaven be "...just happy that they screen out the folks
who leave their best friends behind..."?
Jesus could not be clearer about this than in Matthew 13: 9- 17....
Matthew
13: 9-17
Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in
parables? He answered
and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the
mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.
For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and
he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be
taken away even that he hath.
Therefore speak I to them in
parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not,
neither do they understand. And in them is fulfilled the prophecy
of Isaiah, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not
understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive: For
this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing,
and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with
their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their
heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.
But blessed are your eyes, for they
see: and your ears, for they hear. For verily I say unto you,
That many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not
seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard
them.
Therefore - who is to See
and/or Hear is the sole
provenance of God and we must
be most careful in revealing unveiled information fully "lest at any time they
should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them." By
the same token, we must be certain that we reach, directly and/or
indirectly all of those who must listen to His call and respond -
regardless of his/her state in life.
We know that there are many Fátima devotees who have been led
"down the primrose path" to believe that a trouble free Golden Era of
Peace and Joy is just around the corner. Amongst these devotees are
some who are destined for Heaven yet they are still confused about what
to believe.
We shall use yet another Fátima example to help them become
free from this ensnaring deceit of "appearences" - a deceit which
endangers their future physical and spiritual life.
In Fátima original documents we read:
"To save them [souls of sinners that
are going to hell] (3), God wishes to establish in the world devotion
to my Immaculate
Heart. If what I say to you is done, many souls will be saved and there
will be peace. "...but if people do not cease offending
God, a worse one [than World War I] will break out during the
pontificate of Pius XI".
Then...
"To prevent this, I shall come to ask
for the consecration of Russia to my Immaculate Heart, and the
Communion of
Reparation on the First Saturdays. If my requests are heeded, Russia
will be converted, and there will be peace; if not, she
(Russia) will spread her errors throughout the world, causing wars and
persecutions of the Church. The good will be martyred,
the Holy Father will have much to suffer, various nations will be
annihilated. In the end, my Immaculate Heart will triumph..."
Whole Text, in English and
Portuguese. (1)
We are specifically addressing those who "hang on for dear life" to the
"fact" of the fallen Berlin Wall and the "collapse" of the Soviet Union.
As we have stated elsewhere, God does not cause harm to befall
humanity; He
allows it
(2) as part of
His Redeeming Plans and to circumvent
our interference (3)Understanding His
Divine Designs. (4)
We will continue this line of reasoning with another historical
example; in this case, it has not happened yet in Time but, for us, it
is already history.
After World War II the Soviet Union became another superpower - with
the US as its only match. They set their sights on spreading their
communist system worldwide, thus attempting to "conquer" or "control"
the world. As most of you know, with the US at the lead, the Western
Powers fought that - -
not
always in the most appropriate ways (5) - and succeeded
in placing the
Soviet Union in a quarantine state. In addition, people from the Soviet
Union could not travel outside of the Soviet Bloc so, in essence, their
"virus" was contained, through the action of both sides, since the
carrier could not move about freely throughout the world.
Since Prophecy is to be fulfilled and Divine Justice must be dispensed
for the good of mankind and no one can circumvent the fulfillment of
the Divine Designs, then the Berlin Walls falls and the Soviet
Empire "crumbles" and Russia
emerges. The Vatican trumpets this event. Nevertheless,
what H. H. John Paul II allegedly wrote about the "crumbling" of the
Soviet Empire contradicts itself (6) on the same page! (7)
So what? Some will say. They will not have to wait long to know the
answer.... Read on...
1. Instead of obeying Heaven on how to
block Russia from spreading its errors, man did it his way.... and the
Soviet Bloc emerged. The Iron Curtain resulted, and in essence
this Curtain became the instrument to quarantine the danger that God
warned us about.
2. The Berlin Wall falls and the Soviet Bloc "crumbles", the Iron
Curtain turns into a veritable colander and Russia (not the USSR, but Russia, just as Mary
stated) is now free to spread its errors (magnified to an unthinkable
level through the many decades of a Godless society) far and wide...
and quite openly.
So, you see, brethren, that
before the eyes of the world, most of
which cannot see, the last phase of Mary's Fátima Prophecy is
being fulfilled in perfect harmony with the Holy Scriptures [Revelations 13:2-3]:
And
the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the
feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon
gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority. And I saw one of
his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the
beast.
CONCLUSION
The reader may draw its own. We have said enough!
EPILOGUE
Know that in
spite of all the light
given to and accepted by someone - there is a very real possibility of
going blind and deaf again. (8)
