Points to Ponder About (1)
On
January 22, 2006, we ceased updating our Points to
Ponder
page. God has chosen that we start publishing it again for the
benefit of those who have Eyes to See (2)
and are now beginning to awake from their life long slumber. Since it
is He Whom we strive to serve, we are resuming this page as of May 8th, 2006 - Mary, Mediatrix of All
Graces.
Points To Ponder - May - June
2006
Published
on June 29th, 2006 - Solemnity of Sts.
Peter
and Paul
Do you ever wonder.... what did Jesus really mean
when He said:
... Who is my mother, and
who are my brethren?
49 And stretching forth his hand towards his
disciples, he said: Behold my mother and my brethren.
50 For whosoever shall do the will of my
Father, that is in heaven, he is my brother, and sister, and mother.
[Matthew 12]
The
answer lies in another cryptic statement that also goes ignored (in
practice) as most of His Messages do:
21 The brother also shall deliver up the brother
to death, and the father the son: and the children shall rise up
against their parents, and shall put them to death.
[Matthew 10]
In case
that some of our readers have difficulty seeing the connection, we will
explain it.
"Having the common bond of doing the Will of the Father is
far 'thicker' than blood". One who does the Will of the Father will never, ever!, betray any other human being.
Simple, isn't it? Yet Rome has not
been able to
quite figure it out yet.
Brethren, the "lines
have been drawn" and the time for making a choice
is just about up.

Do you ever wonder.... why Pompeii was "buried alive"
by Mt. Vesuvius in 79 AD bringing to mind Genesis
19:24?
(*)
Wonder no more...
Quoting (and translating) from an article in the magazine
Historia y Vida, No. 450
It was not just a
handful of those who re-discovered Pompeii in the 18th Century who were
scandalized by the frescoes found in the ruined city.
Many with phallic symbols, sexual scenes of couples, in groups and even
with
animals and mythological characters stood their hair on end.
Francis I, Duke o Calabria and future king of Sicily, had some of such
"artistic" scenes placed away from the public eye.
Many of the erotic scenes decorated the houses of prostitution, which
were many in the city - 25 (in a city which only had 35 bakeries!).
The inscriptions on the walls have revealed the prices charged as well
as the name and origin of the prostitutes which generally were Greek or
Oriental slaves.

Do you ever wonder.... what Franklin Delano Roosevelt
meant when he said: "They (who)
seek to establish systems of government based on the regimentation of
all human beings by a handful of individual rulers call this a new
order. It is not new and it is not order."? (*)
He may have not been aware of the prophecy that he was making but, for
those who have Eyes to See, this 1941 statement could have been only
made if one had a prophetic vision of the
post 2001 world.

Do you wonder if.... you should believe what miguel
de Portugal writes?
Well, if you stop and think about it, what would be the consequences in
either case?

Do you wonder why.... during the last two thirds of
John Paul II pontificate you almost heard the name of the Vatican's
Press Office Director, Joaquín Navarro Valls, mentioned almost
as much as your heard the Pope's name and now, with them completely in
charge with Ratzinger in, you do not hear much of him
anymore? Perhaps of you review the true Trajectory (and calvary)
of H.H. John Paul II and learn about what Navarro-Valls'
specialty is,
by his own mouth, maybe you may understand Ratzinger's
job
better.
When will people realize that miguel
de Portugal is not speaking of his
own accord, but in the Name of God? What will it take, Step No.
1? No, not even that.... Jesus raised Lazarus at the gates of
Jerusalem and within a week they crucified Him.
Even though Jesus had announced it, before hand, through Luke 16:
29
And Abraham said to him: They have Moses and the prophets; let them
hear them. 30 But he said: No, father Abraham: but if one went to them
from the dead, they will do penance. 31 And he said to him: If they
hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they believe, if one
rise again from the dead.
If that is not sheer stupidity - we do not what it is... but, then
again, that is hallmark of the children of Adam and Eve, isn't it?

Do you wonder why.... the war in Iraq goes from bad
to worse? You may find the answer, mystically speaking, in a
document we published on August 15, 2002, outlining our position
regarding said war.

Do you wonder why.... the European Union leaders did
not include any mention about God in the European Constitution?
Today's
posting in our Public
Forum will answer that question in full. But if it does not,
maybe this
or that document
will.
Published
on May 25th, 2006 - Feast of the Ascension of Our Lord
Do you wonder why.... two men wearing white garments
asked those who witnessed the Ascension: "Ye men of
Galilee, why stand
you looking up to heaven?"
Because God wanted to inform mankind through those witnesses that: "This Jesus who is taken up from you into
heaven, shall so come, as you have seen him going into heaven.",
[Acts 1: 11-12]
thus warning mankind about the manifestation of the False Christ at the
End of These Times - just
about now.
When Jesus returns to destroy the False
Christ and his
falsified
Kingdom (the promised Golden
Era) He will do so exactly as He did when
He left, except, this time all of mankind will be able to witness His
arrival regardless of where they may be. This is a feat that the
falsifier will not be able to duplicate and why one of their main
options is to exploit the appearance of a blood-line successor of
Jesus. And you probably thought that The Da
Vinci Code and its
immense
popularity was just another entertainment fad....
Do you wonder why.... if the
Prophet Mohammed stated in the Qur'an (S. III 55) that God the Father
said:
'Behold! God said: "O Jesus! I
will take thee and raise
thee
to Myself and clear thee (of the falsehoods) of those who blaspheme; I
will make those who follow Thee superior."'
and of Mary,
God the Father proclaims Mary perpetual
virginity (S. XXI. 91):
"And
(remember) Her who guarded Her
chastity: We breathed
into
Her of Our Spirit, and We made Her and Her Son a Sign to all
peoples."
The angels announce Her Immaculate
Conception (S.III. 42):
"O
Mary! God hath chosen thee and
purified thee - chosen thee above
the women of all nations."
Christians made an issue of persecuting anything related to Islam?
You may find the answer to that question and many other issues that may
have puzzled you for years if review more of
the basic teachings
of the Qur'an and how they relate with Judaism and Christianity.
Then, perhaps you will realize what is the price of
following
anyone
blindly.

Do you wonder why.... such an
attack has been mounted, openly by Opus Dei and less
openly by the Roman Church at large, against the book and movie
The Da Vinci Code, when the release, and heavy promotion by the mighty
National Geographic Society, of
the Gospel
of Judas
[which is far, far
more damaging to the Christian Faith by demolishing, in essence, the
whole New Testament] was met with complete indifference?
The "clue" to the answer may be found
here
for the
reasons
are
almost exactly
the same. "Almost" because, this time, the situation has all the signs
of having been a
"Staged
Production".
Considering the "Point to Ponder About" below (May
8th)... One wonders what really happened? Did
God go
back on one of His Fundamental Laws? Did the Scribe wrote down the
wrong information? or Did Moses actually defied the same Laws he was so
upset about others breaking?
In this "Holy 'Whodunnit'" the Faithful may immediately jump at the
second choice because God does not go back on His Word and "God forbid
that anyone imputes Moses (or any other Biblical character, for that
matter) having made a mistake"
(1)
- But... "Scribe error"?? Then....
how many Scribe errors are in the Holy Scriptures? What can we then
believe?
Not to worry.... as we
have often repeated, when something does not
look right in the Holy Scriptures let us go back to the Repository of
Wisdom and we will shall find the answer - The
Holy Scriptures themselves!
What if Moses made a mistake? David did, therefore, why Moses could not
also make a serious mistake. [Do not forget what David did to Urias the
Hethite
to
legalize his
adultery. David had his loyal servant Urias
murdered so that he could keep his wife!
[2 Kings Ch. 10-12] ]
Therefore, let us check the possibility that Moses made a serious
mistake. Scrolling down
beyond
Exodus
32:26-29 we read:
33 And the Lord
answered him: He that hath sinned against me, him will I strike out of my
book:
34 But go thou, and lead this people whither I have told thee:
my angel shall go before thee. And I in the day of revenge
will visit
this sin also of theirs.
35 The Lord therefore struck the people for the guilt on occasion of
the calf which Aaron had made.
[Exodus 32:33-35]
Assuming that Moses erred, it appears
that God completely ignored
the value of Moses' settlement of the score by ordering "...let every man kill his brother,
and
friend, and neighbour...." since God clearly stated that He
would dispense Justice in the future Himself.
We can almost be sure
that Moses did not order what is being attributed to
him in verses 26 through 29, once we read what is written
immediately after verse 29:
30 And when the next day was come, Moses
spoke to the people:
You have sinned a very great sin: I will go up to the Lord, if by any
means I may be able to entreat him for your crime.
31 And
returning to the Lord, he said: I
beseech thee: this
people hath sinned a heinous sin, and they have made to themselves gods
of gold: either forgive them this trespass,
32 Or if thou do not, strike me out of the
book that thou hast written.
If Moses had indeed settled the
score
through "...let every man kill his
brother,
and
friend, and neighbour....", why would he then go back and try to
make amends with God and
personally assume their sin at the expense of his eternal life.
This, brethren, is why the
understanding of the Word of God necessitates the Illumination of the
Holy Spirit of God. In this manner, even if a Scribe became creative
with the Word of God in exchange of a few silver coins
(2), the Faithful
can quickly spot the problem and find
the
harmonious truth
- all
within the Inspired Word of God in the Holy Scriptures.

A question remains - Was Moses
less than perfect, a perfection man frequently ascribes to every
Biblical character? We
know that Moses, as all Biblical characters except Jesus and
Mary, was not perfect,
after all, in chapter 34 of
Deuteronomy we read that "Moses seeth the promised land, but is not suffered to go into it."
Specifically in Chapter 20 of Numbers we read:
12
And the Lord
said to Moses and Aaron: Because
you have not believed me, to sanctify
me before the children of Israel, you shall not bring these people into
the land, which I will give them.

As this seems to be the situation in this case.

Do
you ever wonder where... the religious leaders
got the idea to murder anyone who did not believe as they taught?
When Moses came down from Mt: Sinai with the Tablets of the Law
found Aaron leading the Chosen People in the adoration of a golden calf
he called out [Exodus 32:1-29]:
26 Then standing in the gate of the camp, he
said: If any man be
on the Lord's side let him join with me. And all the sons of Levi
gathered themselves together unto him:
27 And he said to them: Thus saith the Lord
God of Israel: Put
every man his sword upon his thigh: go, and return from gate to gate
through the midst of the camp, and let every man kill his brother,
and
friend, and neighbour.
28 And the sons of Levi did according to the
words of Moses, and there were slain that day about three and twenty
thousand men. 29 And
Moses said: You have
consecrated your hands this day to
the Lord, every man in his son and in his brother, that a blessing may
be given to you.
[Exodus 32:26-29]
What makes this situation so
interesting is that God had just given Moses the Tablets with the
Commandments written by His Own Finger and one of those Commandments is
"Thou shalt not kill."
[Exodus 20:13 and Deut. 5:17]
A prohibition that God
clearly had even established before
the Commandments were given to Moses, i.e., when He condemned Cain [Genesis 4:15] and demonstrated by
taking care of Egyptians Himself [Exodus Chs. 6 - 14]
We refer the reader to our documents on

it has been given to you
to know
the mysteries of the kingdom of
heaven, but to them it has not been given."..... Therefore I speak to
them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do
not hear, nor do they understand.... Lest they should see with their
eyes and hear with their ears, lest they should understand with their
hearts and be converted so that I should heal them." [Matthew 13:11, 13, 15]
