I should have immediately realized that upon seeing a video that came up in my YT feed regarding the book of Revelation and how we are now living in those days (we’ve actually BEEN living in the “last days” ever since the Day of Pentecost, and specifically are within chapters 1-3 of the book of Revelation), that the Holy Spirit was setting me up once again to write something. So, sort of reluctantly, I went ahead and started to watch the video. I had a bad feeling this was going to be a major “pet peeve” of the Holy Spirit, but wanting to be obedient, and went ahead and started the video.
Within 6 SECONDS of watching that certain video on YT from a pretty well know Catholic content creator, the Holy Spirit winced within me when the guest speaker said, “And it is a really, really big war of Our Lady versus Satan”—what did he just say?? Has he actually READ the book of Revelation?? That was it–THAT is what the Spirit was leading me to write about, because honestly, He has HAD IT with this generation of so-called “Christians” who have removed themselves so far from God’s holy written Word, that the Time of JUDGMENT is SOON at hand. I can feel it in my spirit more and more with each day passing, that the LORD is NOT going to stay silent for much longer.
I did not watch any more of that video; to be honest, I’ve seen so many videos and read so many posts in the last several years that misinterpret the Bible left and right, it is not only reprehensible, but exhausting at this point, to say the least. How these people could even have mother Mary inserted into the book of Revelation as if SHE is the one fighting the devil, his angels, the Anti-Christ, etc. at the end of the age–where do they get this stuff from?? HOW could they insert that into Scripture?? Does mother Mary have ANYTHING to do with the end times, and the return of the Lord Jesus Christ? Read on and you’ll see where we ALL fit in, IF we are HIS children (John 1:12), have acknowledged and accepted Jesus Christ as BOTH our LORD and SAVIOUR, and have been living according to His Word that He gave us, and having the gift of the Holy Spirit living WITHIN each and every one of us (see Jn. 3:3,5,7; Romans 8:9; 1 Corinthians 3:16; 6:19; 2 Timothy 1:14).
It is JESUS who RETURNS–the LION of the tribe of JUDAH–“Behold He is coming with the clouds, and EVERY EYE will see HIM, even those who pierced HIM, and all the tribes of the earth will wail because of HIM” (Revelation 1:7)–HIM—JESUS!!!
OH my soul–what has become of this generation of those who say with their mouths, “I believe in the LORD GOD and the Lord Jesus Christ”, and YET, do NOT HEED His WORD?? What is to become of you?? HOW do leaders of the Body of Christ fall SO far away from His Written Word, and misconstrue it, twist it, and attempt to rewrite the Bible to suit their own beliefs and interpretations? The Scripture tells us what will happen to those who ADD TO, or DELETE FROM, God’s Holy Word!
And before someone says, “Oh, there are so many Bibles, so many interpretations, etc. –THAT itself, is the work of the evil one, who LOVES to create havoc amongst the faithful, and confuse them–hence why Paul told us that “GOD is NOT THE AUTHOR OF CONFUSION” (1 Corinthians 14:33). BUT obviously, it is the work of the rebellious angel HaSatan and all the other rebellious spirits are, who do their best to mock and ridicule God’s Word, and attempt to make it so difficult for a person to read and understand it, that they eventually give up.
HAVE YOU not read in Ephesians 4:4-6, “There is ONE BODY and ONE SPIRIT–just as you were called to the ONE HOPE that belongs to your call–ONE LORD, ONE FAITH, ONE BAPTISM, ONE GOD and FATHER of all, Who is over ALL and THROUGH all and IN all.”
MAN (along with the help of the devil and his angels and those vile demons) may have split the BODY of Christ up thousands of times over with all their supposed “sects” of Christianity–if it can even be called that anymore–but the LORD GOD knows man’s heart–it is WICKED and DECEITFUL above all things” (Jeremiah 17:9)–HENCE the reason why we need to HEED the VOICE of the HOLY SPIRIT, since we live in this age from the days of PENTECOST, when He came down and LIVED IN those who were in the upper room (see Acts 1:12-14). GUESS who else was in that room with the believers that day? Mother MARY as well! SHE received the gift of the HOLY SPIRIT, and at that point, she and the others were FILLED with the HOLY SPIRIT (see Acts 2, specifically verse 4).
BUT–that is the LAST TIME that we hear anything about mother Mary; NO–she is NOT mentioned in Revelation 12. THAT passage speaks of ISRAEL–the 12 TRIBES of ISRAEL, not mother Mary. There COULD be a “double meaning” to parts of that passage, because of the parallels within the woman fleeing from the dragon et al–but the WOMAN with 12 STARS above her head–is NOT mother Mary. The 12 STARS represent the 12 TRIBES of ISRAEL. The Church made that error and has NEVER corrected themselves, along with allowing REPLACEMENT THEOLOGY to run rampant amongst the Body of Christ within the ROMAN part of the Church. The LORD GOD WILL JUDGE THEM on that. He will NOT be silent about that, hence the reason why the Apostle John wrote what he did in Revelation chapters 2 and 3, about the different churches, and whether or not they truly were serving the Lord Jesus as they were called to do. JUDGMENT is COMING, and it does NOT play “favorites” with ANY so-called “denomination”; there were NEVER MEANT to be “denominations” amongst or within the BODY of CHRIST!
The LEADERS of the synagogues, churches, and any other religious (and cultic!) systems will ALL BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE to the LORD JESUS CHRIST for what they have done in turning away the faithful FROM the Holy Scriptures, and turning them to “doctrines of devils”, or at the least–their OWN traditions, as the Lord Jesus vehemently reproved the Pharisees and Sadducees for!
Again, mother Mary DID her job; she ANSWERED her calling here, and has been called “BLESSED” because she OBEYED the voice of the LORD GOD.
BUT—and PLEASE UNDERSTAND and ACCEPT THIS with all HUMILITY OF SPIRIT–
We will NOT be seeing mother Mary, because SHE isn’t with the Lord Jesus, until Revelation 19–when ALL of us RETURN with the Lord Jesus comes back with a vengeance —
“Then I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse! The One sitting on it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he JUDGES and makes WAR. His eyes are like a FLAME of FIRE, and on His head are many diadems, and He has a name written that no one knows but Himself. HE is clothed in a robe dipped in BLOOD, and the name by which HE is called is THE WORD OF GOD (see also Jn. 1:1, 14). And the armies of heaven, arrayed in fine linen, white and pure, were following Him on white horses. From HIS MOUTH comes a sharp SWORD (because He is the WORD OF GOD) with which to strike down the nations, and HE will rule them with a rod of IRON. HE will tread the winepress of the fury of the WRATH of God the Almighty. On HIS ROBE and on HIS THIGH HE has a name written, KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.” (Rev. 19:11-16)
As much as I love my catholic upbringing, and as much as I love mother Mary and her selfless sacrifice (along with Joseph’s) to raise the Son of God in the midst of turbulence, there was (and still is to this very day!) much misunderstanding even amongst family and friends who DID NOT BELIEVE that Mary and Joseph were called to be the parents of the Son of God–the JEWISH Messiah–and it very well could have meant DEATH for mother Mary! Nevertheless, she said, “YES” to the LORD GOD Most High, when the Angel Gabriel visited her with that message of her calling that the LORD chose HER for–to be the mother of GOD Incarnate Himself–Jesus. But–that was IT for Mary–she answered the call, she fought the good fight and did what was asked of her, and that’s it.
Even though many DO believe that she was chosen by the LORD God to carry our Lord and Savior, unfortunately the Church has allowed so much more exaggerations and downright lies to be spread about the mother of our Lord, to the point where some actually DO “worship” her (I am NOT speaking about the reverent veneration or honor given to her because she is the mother of our Lord) to the point of praying TO HER, instead of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit! The Church leaders from the pope on down, and every other leader in Christendom will be held RESPONSIBLE and ACCOUNTABLE for not teaching sound doctrine, and correcting the errors within their sects!!
I wish I was more like mother Mary, and said “Yes” to my calling when I knew the Lord had a path for me to walk many moons ago. It took 30 years of mistakes, heartache, and pain, but I finally got on that Path He chose for me about 10 years ago, and I have not regretted it since! If only I paid more attention to that first chapter of Luke, and realized how we are to be totally SELFLESS when living out our faith walk with the Lord Jesus; I would have saved myself so much pain, tears, trials, and tribulations that I allowed to come into my life through disobedience to the Lord and His Word.
HOWEVER–I cannot sit here and continue to stay silent when my brothers and sisters in the Faith have been taught (as sincere as some of the church leaders and teachers are) the WRONG interpretations of several passages of Scripture throughout the OT and NT. The “Roman Church” has NO AUTHORITY to CHANGE what the ancient authors of Sacred Scripture were trying to convey to us, the readers. WE have to rely on the HOLY SPIRIT —Who is ONE with the Father and the Son, and Who has been here (trying to work!) since the Day of Pentecost (see Acts 2). It is HE who helps us understand what we are reading and studying from Scripture; the problem is, that throughout the past 1500 years or so, some leaders within the Church body have decided what WE, the faithful, are to read and understand, instead of relying on the Holy Spirit and what was originally meant to be interpreted in those Scripture passages. Deuteronomy 4:2 gives a warning from the Most High God to NOT ADD TO, or DELETE FROM Scripture! Revelation 22:18-19 give us the same warning, with the curses upon those who add or delete from God’s Word!
That should make us all be shaken with reverent fear to the core! God’s Word is NOT to be changed for our benefit, or way of life, or particular belief system that WE may have; we are to HUMBLE OURSELVES before a great and mighty GOD, Who allowed HIS SON to SUFFER and DIE for us all. THAT SON–the LORD JESUS CHRIST–is the ONE Who WILL BE RETURNING, and SOONER than most people THINK–and only IF we are paying ATTENTION to what is going on (and YES, we ARE living now in the “last days”, and the book of Revelation IS going to be revealed more and more as each day passes), AND–IF we are “hearing what the SPIRIT has to say” (see Rev. 2:7, 11; 3:6; 13:9 just for a few examples)–the HOLY SPIRIT will LEAD and GUIDE us into ALL TRUTH (Jn. 16:13) and bring to your remembrance ALL of what the Lord Jesus taught us in His Word (Jn. 14:26)–that is, He WILL do that, IF we do what the Lord Jesus commanded us to do–“IF YOU LOVE ME, YOU WILL KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS” (Jn. 14:15); again, the Lord Jesus tells us in John 14:23, “IF ANYONE LOVES ME, HE WILL KEEP MY WORD (He IS, after all, the very literal living WORD OF GOD!), AND MY FATHER WILL LOVE HIM, AND WE WILL COME TO HIM AND MAKE OUR HOME WITH HIM.” –HOW did He do that?? THROUGH THE HOLY SPIRIT!!
IF a person HAS confessed their sins–IF they REPENTED of all their sins, and ACKNOWLEDGED that JESUS ALONE is LORD and SAVIOR (that doesn’t mean mother Mary doesn’t count, or anyone else for that matter–she and the rest of the saints and all the faithful who followed the Lord God Almighty and the Lord Jesus–ALL the OT and NT saints before us–have their place, but ONLY the FATHER, the SON, and the HOLY SPIRIT are to be PRAYED TO, WORSHIPPED, and ADORED!), and they HUMBLED themselves and SURRENDERED ALL to Him–THEN, and ONLY THEN, will the HOLY SPIRIT enter INTO that individual, and take up RESIDENCE in them, hence what the Apostle John was talking about when he said, “…greater is HE that is IN you, than he (Satan, the evil ones) that is in the world (system)” (1 John 4:4).
PLEASE allow the Holy Spirit to TEACH YOU how to correctly interpret Scripture. Mother Mary had her place, and she did an EXCELLENT job, hence the reason why she was called “BLESSED” and that she was “FULL OF GRACE”. There were VERY FEW people from Scripture that eschewed evil–Job and Daniel come to mind; even Noah was said of the LORD GOD to be a righteous man and that “Noah found favor in the eyes of the LORD” (Genesis 6:8). These wonderful saints had their place and time within Scripture, but it all led up to THE LORD JESUS–the JEWISH MESSIAH–and the COVENANTS that the LORD GOD made with ISRAEL–those covenants were NEVER BROKEN or ANNULLED.
PLEASE–I am begging you all, beloved–this is what I have been called to do–to INFORM and to WARN, and after not heeding the Master’s Voice for 30 years of my life, I finally SURRENDERED ALL, and have taken up the cross and calling I was to bear, and I do that now with all fervent love and with much reverence to HIS ✡📖✝WORD, like never before. I beg you, beloved, PLEASE HEED the Voice of the HOLY SPIRIT–the RUACH HaKODESH–and allow HIM to correct any and all errors that any and all church leaders–from whatever sect they hail from–and bring you back to the correct BIBLICAL interpretation of Scripture as those authors of ancient Scripture wanted us to understand what they were trying to convey to us as they were writing these precious pages of God’s Word out for us.
IF you read this whole thing, I thank you, and I hope that the LORD God our Father, the LORD Jesus Christ–Who is my LORD, SAVIOUR, MASTER, and KING- and the Holy Spirit, Who is One with the Father and Son–takes you on a journey with Scripture like you have never imagined before. Allow the Holy Spirit to TEACH you as those ancient authors were taught by Him so long ago. May the LORD GOD MOST HIGH bless you on your faith walk with Him. 🙏🩷✡📖✝
