Some new age groups describe Christ as a divine statesman, which provides the basis for a possible imitation of the return of Christ resignified in a purely spiritual coming (in a Docetist sense) or in a kind of reincarnation in the person of a global leader. I believe this biblical passage is a key to unmasking the antichrist and the false prophet when they emerge on the global political stage.
In reply to someone on this thread that asked about Saint Annibale Di Francia: St. Annibale was the Extraordinary Confessor to the Servant of God, Luisa Piccarretta. He was founder of the Rogationists and Daughters of Divine Zeal. In His Address to the Rogationist Fathers on the Centennial Anniversary of the Foundation of the Congregation of Rogationist Fathers of the Heart of Jesus, on May 16, 1997, Pope John Paul II said: “The modern means that human sciences and contemporary technology make available and that you rightly try to use in your apostolic work will only be effective if they are sustained and guided by the original charismatic inspiration of the blessed founder, who saw in the "Rogate" the means God himself had provided to bring about that "new and divine" holiness with which the Holy Spirit wishes to enrich Christians at the dawn of the third millennium, in order to "make Christ the heart of the world". On July 7, 2010 Benedict XVI blessed a marble statue of St. Annibale Maria di Francia (1851-1927), founder of the Congregation of the Rogationist Fathers of the Heart of Jesus and of the Daughters of Divine Generosity. The statue is positioned in an external niche of the Vatican Basilica near the Arch of the Bells. Luisa: “I was feeling very afflicted, not only because of the privations of my sweet Jesus, but also because I had received the unexpected news of the death of Reverend Father Di Francia. He was the only one left to me, to whom I could open my poor soul. How well he could understand me – it was to a saint that I would entrust myself, who had very much comprehended all the value of what Jesus had told me about the Divine Will. He had so much interest in it that, with insistence, he had taken all the writings with himself in order to publish them.” Saint Annibale talks about the writings of the Book of Heaven: “They are writings that we must make known to the world. I believe they would do much good. Since this knowledge of the Divine Will is so sublime, these writings which come from celestial dictation will present it with great clarity. In my opinion, no human intelligence could have created them.” St. Annibale died on June 1, 1927 Pope Benedict XVI said in his Encyclical Letter, Deus Caritas Est, when he affirmed: “The love-story between God and man consists in the very fact that this communion of will increases in a communion of thought and sentiment, and thus our will and God’s will increasingly coincide: God’s Will is no longer for me an alien will, something imposed on me from without by the commandments, but is now my own will, based on the realization that God is in fact more deeply present to me than I am to myself.” Pope St. Paul VI in his message Urbi et Obi, April 4, 1971 said: “The unity of the world will be. The dignity of the human person shall be recognized not only formally but effectively. The inviolability of life, from the womb to old age… Undue social inequalities will be overcome. The relations between peoples will be peaceful, reasonable and fraternal. Neither selfishness, nor arrogance, nor poverty…(shall) prevent the establishment of a true human order, a common good, a new civilization.”
By the way, we had that weird storm Sunday night. It came up the coast from Florida and merged with a storm from the west, over Maryland. It then went on to trouble the Northern states. It was untimely. 4 inches of rain followed by wind gusts up to 40 mph.
Wow, this was bizarre weather, and at this late in the season. I hope you were ok, HH. And other in the northern states.
I was politely asked to leave a while back. Just feel that Our Lord wants me back for now. God bless and a blessed Christmas. May the Divine Infant lead you in His Divine Will which is non other than the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Fiat!
We are okay. Just very soggy, coastal flooding but not as far as homes. Thanks for the concern. I think both Jo and AED have lost power.
