\chapter{Frequently Asked Questions}

\begin{obeylines}\section{The independent believers}

\subsection{Who are you?}
We are neither a sect nor fanatics. We are a homogeneous international group who bear witness to the distressing divine revelations made to a Catholic priest. The most important of these revelations concerns the unexpected identity of the Antichrist, \textquotedblleft{}the Beast\textquotedblright{} of chapter 13 of the Book of Revelation. It was revealed by Jesus himself the 13th of May 1970.

This revelation opens, to those who believe in it, a new door of deliverance and spiritual struggle.

These revelations denounce among others, the treason of the Catholic hierarchy and its failure to bear witness against the Antichrist whose identity was revealed by the Virgin Mary in Fatima. This secret was and remains occult by the popes since John XXIII. This is why it is incumbent upon us to unmask the Antichrist and to \textquotedblleft{}prophesy (\textit{bear witness}) again, this time against many different nations and countries and languages and emperors\textquotedblright{} (Revelation 10,11), for the simple reason that all this world, from lack of faith and courage, has let itself be intimidated by the Antichrist.

To know more, see our introduction and the text: \href{/en/the-key-of-the-apocalypse-revelation/}{\textquotedbl{}The Key of the Apocalypse\textquotedbl{}}.

\subsection{An Association of independent believers?}
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent Do you have any meeting places apart from this site? A particular structure? You speak of independent believers, but with no cult and places of worship (churches, temples and others). It is not always evident (and accessible to all) to cultivate one’s faith. What path do you propose?\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

Our places of meeting are our respective homes, as the first Christians did (Acts 2,46-47); The Lord, here too, gathers those He wishes to save through the Internet or with meetings. What do you mean by structure? Hierarchy? Surely not! We are servants of one another, in joy, solidarity, authentic love and simplicity. Heaven is responsible of \textquotedblleft{}associating\textquotedblright{} us. We are widespread a little bit here and there, at your place in France too. We are however very prudent because we are very persecuted (fortunately) by the hierarchies, especially by the various monotheistic religions. We have received a Mission from Heaven; it is to Heaven to take charge of our instruction and he never misses the call of his children. Christ is alive among us, we \textquotedblleft{}touch\textquotedblright{} Him and hear His Voice in the Apocalyptic Message revealed by Him on the 13th of May 1970 (See our text: \href{/en/the-key-of-the-apocalypse-revelation/}{\textquotedbl{}The Key of the Apocalypse\textquotedbl{}}). Those who are the more instructed among us help newcomers in deepening their knowledge... and \textquotedblleft{}those who have ears to hear what the Spirit is saying will recognize the Voice of the Good Shepherd\textquotedblright{} (Revelation 1,11... John 10,3-5).

The Path we propose is that of the One who said: \textquotedbl{}I am \textbf{the Way}, the Truth and Life\textquotedbl{} (John 14,6).

We refer you to the text: \href{/en/worship-and-place-of-worship/}{\textquotedbl{}Cults and Place of worship\textquotedbl{}}.

\subsection{How to act? What is the meaning of Pierre2 (Peter2)?}
Message of J. (translated from German).
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent Hi Pierre,

First of all, excuse me for taking so long to answer you. Actually, I first wanted to write “Letter to atheists”, but this letter at the moment did not come up with me, neither in time nor in thought.

The image of the Antichrist and its ally (USA) becomes all the more clear, and I agree with you that we cannot put all the Jews in one basket. Personally, I have met some of them who are very sociable and very humane.

I also have problems with Medjugorie because, in my opinion, they are going around in circles, and liberty in Spirit (through Jesus) has little place with them. Unconditional submission to the Holy Church has never characterized me, even though I can \textquotedbl{}still\textquotedbl{} call myself a Catholic. That the pulpit of Peter has become the seat of evil? I think that is possible, because in these days, a certain decadence is visible.

I still have a question: What is the meaning of the name: Pierre2?

United in prayer.
J.\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

Hi J.,

We very much understand the difficulty of writing a text to atheists. Neither our family of the East, nor of the West were able to produce something intelligent in this subject.  It is an emptiness in the head, we do not know what to say and time is lacking for us too. We understand you very well. If the Holy Spirit wanted such a text, He would have inspired us and told us what to say. For the moment, our relationships with atheists are an openness and a loving availability. If there is love in their heart, they will end up discovering The Father. I think that, FOR THE MOMENT, we must act according to what Jesus had prescribed to his first apostles: \textquotedbl{}Do not turn your steps to pagan territory (\textit{atheists}) ... go rather to the lost sheep of the House of Israel (\textit{believers}).\textquotedbl{} (Matthew 10,5) He had said to us, to me in particular: \textquotedbl{}go to no one; I will bring you those whom I have chosen for their salvation\textquotedbl{}. It is what we are doing through our website, which has informed many people from the East to the West. We devote our time to answering all those who, like J., hunger and thirst for the Truth. The rest is the work of the Holy Spirit... and of Mary Our Mother.

Medjugorie??

You are right not to trust it. I'd stay away from it like the plague. I have met some of them. They have absolutely no maturity in Faith and appear like idiots... The Holy Spirit is neither apparent on their faces, nor in their infantile words. They will never be able to convince intelligent people and atheists... Personally, it is not the Voice of Mary that I hear over there, inviting pilgrims to blindly follow the Pope. Mary tells me not to trust the Pope. This Pope who said: \textquotedblleft{}God bless Israel\textquotedblright{}, who went to cry on the Wall of Lamentations, who sat in Jerusalem on a throne with the Cross of Christ inverted, instead of inviting the Israelis to cry on the tomb of Jesus in Jerusalem. This Pope, who advised Christians this last Friday of November 2002, to deepen their knowledge of Hinduism and Buddhism so that peace reigns in the world. He should have invited the world to know and deepen the faith in Jesus, the King of real Peace, so that the world finally rests and knows real Peace, that of the heart, as the Virgin Mary had said, our Mother, in Marienfried.

I was Catholic. I blindly defended the Pope and the Church. But Jesus opened my eyes on the 13th of May 1970 (see our text: \href{/en/the-key-of-the-apocalypse-revelation/}{\textquotedbl{}The Key of the Apocalypse\textquotedbl{}}) so that in turn, I open the eyes of my brothers and sisters in the world. That is what I do through the website. I can no longer do like a Pope who betrayed the Holy Virgin by distorting and betraying her Message of Fatima. I speak, prophesy, and teach others to prophesy with wisdom and caution... while waiting for the near and certain fall of the Beast. 

You ask \textquotedblleft{}What is the meaning of the name 'Pierre2'?\textquotedblright{} If you pose the question, you are on the right track. You have already understood that the Vatican (Peter1) died by losing \textquotedblleft{}the testimony of Jesus\textquotedblright{}. Our Mission then, is \textquotedblleft{}to bear witness again, against...\textquotedblright{} (Revelation 10,11) to guard the \textquotedblleft{}Testimony of Jesus\textquotedblright{}, and this testimony \textquotedblleft{}is the Spirit of Prophecy\textquotedblright{} (Revelation 19,10). This is why we refer to the prophecies, especially those of the Book of Revelation.

Yes, all Jews are not guilty. We have received the command to pray for those among them who are badly branched by Zionism. We refer you to an anti-Zionist website of a Jew, Israel Shamir (\url{www.israelshamir.net}).

What he says of the Virgin Mary is touching and merits him to see Jesus (Revelation 1,7). We pray for him and all people like him, who are many. We also pray for Muslims, Atheists, Buddhists, etc... for all men of good will.

Pray with us so that everyone may see the Glory of Jesus and Mary, and thus live Heavenly Bliss from down here.

Fraternally in Jesus and Mary.

Pierre

P.S. Against the Catholic Church, but not against its teachings concerning messianism and the divinity of the Messiah, the intercession of Mary, her virginity, the Eucharist, etc... All is clarified on the website.

\subsection{The Usefulness of the Church}
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent Do you consider that the Church, catechism, pilgrimages, etc… are, if not useless, perhaps harmful? What evangelization without structured believers? What possible drifts elsewhere?\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

Churches and places of worship have never impeded the grave downturns. Pedophilia, topic of the day, is only the tip of the iceberg and under the sacerdotal skirts, circulate \textquotedblleft{}cesspools of impurity\textquotedblright{} as the Virgin Mary revealed at La Salette. A Message that the so-called vicars take care to bury. You will find the message of La Salette on our website. We live in Apocalyptic times which already see a marvelous spiritual Day dawning, free from the various cesspools. Happy are those who see it.

The Apocalypse reveals that, in the end times, there would no longer be edifices for true believers: temple, church, mosque... \textquotedblleft{}I saw that there was no temple in the city since the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb(\textit{Jesus}) were themselves the Temple\textquotedbl{} (Revelation 21,22). See our text: \href{/en/worship-and-place-of-worship/}{\textquotedbl{}Cults and Place of worship\textquotedbl{}}.

As for Catechism, one comes out of it more ignorant of Holy Scripture than before he entered it. It is a false science which distracts us from the messianic and Apocalyptic prophecies, and the real, solid food for the soul. Christians ignore why they \textquotedblleft{}believe\textquotedblright{} in Jesus as the Messiah; the Jews know why they reject Him. I speak to you assuming that you are Christian, perhaps even a priest as there are among us.

As for pilgrimage, why not. But we must not, above all, neglect the most important and difficult pilgrimage, the one which we do not think of alas: the one to the heart, where God dwells. What possible drifts when we reach this sacred place among everyone?!

As for evangelism, we see to it either through the website, or through personal contacts if necessary. We trust the good faith of those who approach us for knowledge, not to criticize. A personal and profound research are indispensable for the outcome. The Holy Spirit takes charge of the rest. After the fall of the Antichrist, which is near, relations will be facilitated. The current context is not always suitable. Refer to \href{/en/the-biblical-course/}{\textquotedbl{}The Biblical Course\textquotedbl{}}.

\subsection{Pope John Paul II}
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent I was a bit shocked by the attack made against the Pope, because, not that I approve of everything he does, but I gave myself a reason to think that he acted in God’s grace. Let me explain. Does not the fact that He did not reveal the message of Our Blessed Virgin (Fatima) come from the fact that Christ has taught us that it is through prayer that everything can change and not attempt this solution? It is also true that despite all the errors he could have committed, Christ taught us to pray for our enemies without bordering hatred for them. I really think he is surrounded by Satanic freemasons and he is not free of his actions. At least I hope that.
J.\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

The Pope is a spiritually dead and condemned man, ever since he received Netanyahu, crying out \textquotedblleft{}God bless Israel!\textquotedblright{} He who knows (the Message of Fatima)!!! If I tell you the contrary, at the risk of shocking again and again, I would fail in my Holy Testimony and I too, would be condemned and dead. To each his own opinion! The Beast is Israel and he knows it. I said everything and explained everything (on the website). If I am silent, it is because we are in the \textquotedblleft{}silence in heaven for about half an hour\textquotedblright{} (Revelation 8,1). But soon my voice will resound in the consciences. I can no longer justify those whom the Holy Mother of God qualified as \textquotedblleft{}cesspools of Impurity\textquotedblright{}, predicting that \textquotedblleft{}Rome will lose the faith\textquotedblright{} and become the \textquotedblleft{}SEAT OF THE ANTICHRIST\textquotedblright{}. You have to be deaf and immature not to understand. I do not mince my words. No prophet ever did. They were hated and crucified for that.

You will try to explain to the Father your justification for this traitor of a Pope, who has lost so many souls and will lose so many more. The errors which he has committed are a sin against the Holy Spirit, an UNFORGIVABLE sin (1 John 5,16-17)!!!

No, prayer is not enough to change everything!! BEARING WITNESS is also necessary (Revelation 10,11). If he is not free in his actions, it would be better for him he resigns, as did one of his noble predecessors, Pope San Celestine V (1294), who renounced the pontificate because of the corruption of the Roman Curia (... oh yes, already since then). I cannot justify those who the Father has condemned. If prayer was enough, Jesus would have prayed for the hypocrite Scribes and Pharisees. He prayed \textquotedblleft{}for His disciples\textquotedblright{} saying, \textquotedblleft{}\textbf{I don't pray} for the world\textquotedblright{}. So go lecture Christ!! Tell Him to pray for his enemies!!! Pray for Satan!!! Happy are those who understand Jesus' intentions. Understand who can!
I do not pray for the Pope!!! ... Neither do I pray for my enemies, as they are Christ's enemies and Satan's slaves. I have no personal enemies. I am hated for what I reveal and my testimony shocks the immature and non-repentant. Let men think of me whatever they wish. And, as a song from Edith Piaf says: \textquotedblleft{}I don't care about the whole world!!!\textquotedblright{}

If you think that I bear witness against the Pope out of hatred, not in justice and prompted by the Father, it is better not to write to us. All those who confound strength and hatred, feebleness and love, end up praying for Ariel Sharon and his gang... and by \textquotedblleft{}love\textquotedblright{}, they let the thieves enter and slaughter their spouses and children. In my heart there is, according to the Spirit who guides, the same \textquotedblleft{}hatred\textquotedblright{} as that of Joan of Arc.

PS: Mary's words, her gentle and compassionate suppliant way of speaking, inviting to repentance and the disclosure of the Message of Fatima, can only leave men indifferent like John XXIII, Paul VI and John-Paul II... 3 other \textquotedblleft{}frogs\textquotedblright{} (Revelation 16,13-14) ... I am convinced that John-Paul I was assassinated because he decided to reveal the Message.

When Theodore Herzl addressed Pius X, asking him to recognize the right of the Jews to a \textquotedblleft{}Biblical\textquotedblright{} return to Palestine; this Pope firmly refused to submit to such demands. If it would have been one of the three \textquotedblleft{}frog\textquotedblright{} popes,to bless this (not of the Apocalypse), they would have accepted, crying out loud: \textquotedblleft{}God bless Israel!!\textquotedblright{} Other times, other church! Yes, the church is dead and dead spiritually.

Our shocking mission is to bearwitness against these people, who belong to a dead church and against the Beast. A double shock then. The Virgin in Marienfried said that She had a SHOCKING message to deliver. Here it is! It is ours!

Our Mission is to unmask: \textquotedblleft{}I know all about you: how hard you work and how much you put up with. I know \textbf{you cannot stand wicked people}, and how you tested the imposters who called themselves apostles and proved they were LIARS!\textquotedblright{} (Revelation 2,2-9). If we have found them to be liars, we must have the courage and honesty to denounce them. We are doing that. We cannot remain silent in the name of love. Be careful not to fall into this Satanic trap! Jesus praises those \textquotedblleft{}who cannot stand wicked people\textquotedblright{}. You have read it!

Those who arm themselves with Jesus' words: \textquotedblleft{}Love your enemies\textquotedblright{}, do not know who He was speaking to. \textquotedblleft{}But I say \textbf{this to you who are listening}: love your enemies, do good to those who hate you... to the person who slaps you on one cheek, present the other cheek too...\textquotedblright{} (Luke 6,27-38)

\textquotedblleft{}To you who are listening\textquotedblright{}; who was listening to Him? The Jewish crowd who believed in Him as a \textbf{Zionist} Messiah; therefore, similar to the crowds of today, those who follow Sharon to the cry of \textquotedblleft{}death to the Arabs our enemies!\textquotedblright{} and also, of course, death to the Palestinians. It is to this Zionist crowd that Jesus says: \textquotedblleft{}To you I say: love your enemies...\textquotedblright{}, because it is they, your \textquotedblleft{}enemies\textquotedblright{}, the Palestinians who are right!! Do good to them instead of destroying their homes and killing their children. If they slap you, present the other cheek, as they are right to slap you!! But Jesus did not allow himself to be slapped and hit by the guard before the Sanhedrin, He did not present the other cheek, He retorted: \textquotedblleft{}Why do you strike me? etc...\textquotedblright{} (John 18,22-23) Dœsn't He ask us to execute his enemies in His presence? (Luke 19,27) Can we love our enemies the demons, and those who let themselves be seduced by them? I neither love nor pray for Sharon, nor for Bush. I pray to God to give them a resounding defeat and to save us from them... and from the Pope.

Our Father had already said to Jeremiah: \textquotedblleft{}I have appointed you as assayer of my people, to learn and to assay how they behave. They are apostates, all of them, promiscuous slanderers, all of them corrupt.\textquotedblright{} (Jeremiah 6,27-28)

What else can be said of the clerical pedophilia, the clerical usurers, the Bank of the... \textquotedblleft{}Holy Spirit??? ...\textquotedblright{} This is what they have reduced the Father's Holy Spirit to... scandal revealed by the Marcinkus affair, high Bishop before Satan, transferred to the USA by the Vatican to be the chaplain of... millionaires... Oh yes, nothing less! And all this is approved by the \textquotedblleft{}Holy Father\textquotedblright{} ... not by the Holy Father of Jesus, but by John-Paul II, one of the \textquotedblleft{}usurpers of the title apostle, and of the divine title Holy Father...\textquotedblright{} A title which belongs to none other than Our Holy Heavenly Father, the Father of Jesus Christ (Matthew 23,9).

The Virgin at La Salette invites her children to fight, promising to assist them, and that She will lead them to the fullness of spiritual age, to maturity of the soul. We recognize this maturity in those who have courage to denounce a hierarchy become satanic, as Peter and the Apostles once replied to the Sanhedrin (Vatican today), who ordered them not to preach of Jesus anymore: \textquotedblleft{}Obedience to God comes before obedience to men\textquotedblright{} (Acts 5,27-29). This is mature faith! Our Mother announced the Church's betrayal in Fatima. She said to Lucy (the seer) that we must no longer wait for calls from the hierarchy, but that each person acts independently. The independent believers are here, now, at her disposal. The times are ripe for the \textquotedblleft{}harvest\textquotedblright{}. Let us be ripe then, to be harvested by the Holy Spirit and gathered for the decisive battle against the devil, embodied in the robes of the priest.

Some may find my words harsh. Others, on the contrary, understand them well and are finally ready, I know it!
May our good Father, through Jesus and Mary, give us the fullness of His Spirit and discernment so that, in this world of confusion, we can clearly distinguish good from evil, because evil is so well-masked in good that it is called GOOD. To be convinced, listen to George W. Bush.  
But \textquotedblleft{}Wœ to those who call what is bad good, and what is good bad...\textquotedblright{} (Isaiah 5,20), to those who, apart from Jesus, say: \textquotedblleft{}who is not for me is against me\textquotedblright{}! For my part, I can neither love nor pray for such people! I pray against them.
I pray the Madonna and her Divine Son protect us from all evil, to guide our spiritual steps, to elevate ourselves, to prepare ourselves for everything that must inevitably happen, very soon.

NB: In Fatima, Mary said the great, great war will take place in the second half of the 20th Century. She was already speaking about the first episode of the world war against Iraq that began in 1991. Heaven said to me: \textquotedbl{}At the end of the second half, of the second half (\textit{yes}) of the 20th Century\textquotedbl{}, ie in the last quarter of the 20th Century. It took me some time to understand what Heaven had told me about these \textquotedbl{}halves\textquotedbl{}.

This 'great war', which started with the 1st Iraq war in January 1991 (George Bush), has destabilized the world balance until today. The episodes ensuing this war continue: 11 September 2001 attack, Afghanistan war in October 2001 (George W. Bush), 2nd Iraq war in 2003 (George W. Bush), war against Libya, destabilization of Syria and other Arab countries, etc...

\subsection{Pope Francis the 1st exhorts Christians to treason: The Covenant of the Jews is not revoked}

\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent Recently, Pope Francis the 1st promulgated an apostolic exhortation titled EVANGELII GAUDIUM.
We read therein: \textquotedbl{}We hold the Jewish people in special regard because their covenant with God has never been revoked, for ‘the gifts and the call of God are irrevocable'\textquotedbl{} (Romans 11,29).
And also: \textquotedbl{}Dialogue and friendship with the children of Israel are part of the life of Jesus’ disciples\textquotedbl{}.

What do you think of it?
F.B.\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

By this exhortation (see the text \textquotedbl{}Evangelical Exhortations from Francis 1st (November 2013)\textquotedbl{} here below), Francis 1st demonstrates that he really is the Pope of the Antichrist, even more than his predecessors. The Vatican betrayal has reached its height.

He completely denies Jesus by saying: \textquotedbl{}We hold the Jewish people in special regard because their covenant with God has never been revoked, for 'the gifts and the call of God are irrevocable'\textquotedbl{} (Romans 11,29).

If the Covenant of the \textquotedbl{}Jewish people\textquotedbl{} with God has never been revoked, then why a new Covenant???

It is the first that continues...

Paul has already proclaimed very clearly:
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent \textquotedbl{}But now the Christ has obtained a better ministry, by how much also he is a mediator of a better testament, which is established on better promises. For if that former had been faultless, there should not indeed a place have been sought for a second. For finding fault with them, he says: ‘Behold, the days shall come, says the Lord: and I will perfect unto the house of Israel, and unto the house of Judah, \textbf{a new covenant}: Not according to the covenant which I made to their fathers, on the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt: because \textbf{they broke off} my covenant: and I regarded them not, says the Lord. For this is the covenant which I will make to the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will give my laws into their mind, and in their heart will I write them: and I will be their God, and they shall be my people: And they shall not teach every man his neighbor and every man his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord’: for all shall know me from the least to the greatest of them: Because I will be merciful to their iniquities, and their sins I will remember no more (Jeremiah 31,31-34). Now in saying a new, he has made the former old. And that which decays and grows old, is near its end\textquotedbl{} (Hebrews 8,6-13).\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

Did Francis 1st never read Paul and Jeremiah?

Paul speaks again about the Levite Priesthood instituted by Moses talking about the Priesthood according to Melchizedek which foreshadows the Messiah:

\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent \textquotedbl{}There is indeed \textbf{a setting aside} of the former commandment, because of the weakness and unprofitableness thereof: For the Law (of Moses) brought nothing to perfection, but a bringing in of a better hope, by which we draw near to God\textquotedbl{} (Hebrews 7,18-19).\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

Paul says also about the Christ announced in Psalm 40,7-9:
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent \textquotedbl{}Wherefore when he comes into the world, the Christ says: ‘Sacrifice (of animals) and oblation you would not: but a body you had fitted to me’. Holocausts for sin did not please you. Then said I: Behold I come: in the head of the book it is written of me: that I should do your will, O God. In saying before: ‘Sacrifices, and oblations, and holocausts for sin you would not, neither are they pleasing to you, which are offered according to the Law (of Moses). Then said I: Behold, I come to do your will, O God. \textbf{He takes away the first}, that He may establish that which followed. In the which will, we are sanctified by the oblation of the body of Jesus Christ once\textquotedbl{} (Hebrews 10,5-10).\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

This oblation came true at the time of the Easter Meal of Jesus with His Apostles, just before His Passion, when He said to them:
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent \textquotedbl{}This is the chalice, \textbf{the new Covenant} in my blood, which shall be shed for you\textquotedbl{} (Luke 22,10), \textquotedbl{}for many unto remission of sins\textquotedbl{} (Matthew 26,28).\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

Only the Blood of this new Covenant has the power to purify us and to wash our souls. The blood of the animals sacrificed in the context of Moses' covenant only prefigures this immutable spiritual reality as Paul has very well explained in Hebrews, chapters 9 and 10,1-18.

Paul speaks therefore of a new Covenant which \textquotedbl{}\textbf{substitutes}\textquotedbl{} the old one, of a \textquotedbl{}previously \textbf{annulled} prescription\textquotedbl{}, of a \textquotedbl{}previous regime \textbf{taken away} to establish the one which followed\textquotedbl{}, of a covenant \textquotedbl{}which \textbf{decays and grows old} near its end\textquotedbl{}.

And Francis 1st claims that God has never revoked the covenant with the Jews!

It is true that \textquotedbl{}the gifts and the call of God are irrevocable\textquotedbl{} (Romans 11,29), but this means simply that well intentioned Jews are still and always called to believe in Jesus the Messiah. That means nothing else. We should understand that this way by relying on Jesus' Spirit and on the totality of Paul's writings.

Pius XII had well understood that Spirit when he had proclaimed in the encyclical Mystici Corporis Christi (29th June 1943): \textquotedbl{}by the death of our Redeemer, the New Testament took the place of the Old Law which had been abolished\textquotedbl{}.
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent \textquotedbl{}Jesus said to them: ‘Have you never read in the Scriptures: The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner? By the Lord this has been done; and it is wonderful in our eyes. Therefore I say to you, that the kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and shall be given to a nation yielding the fruits thereof'\textquotedbl{} (Matthew 21,42-43).\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

It is the logical consequence: the first Covenant being \textquotedbl{}broken off\textquotedbl{} and the \textquotedbl{}first regime taken away\textquotedbl{}, the Kingdom of God is given to others.
Israel, appeared again in 1948, is the announced Antichrist (see the text \href{/en/the-key-of-the-apocalypse-revelation/}{\textquotedbl{}The Key of the Apocalypse\textquotedbl{}}). And the Vatican and the churches bow today before Israel. It means to deny Jesus who went up to the Cross to free us yesterday and today from the Zionist mentality. These Zionists want a military King Messiah, conqueror in their own favor only. And Jesus replies to them: \textquotedbl{}My kingdom is not of this world...\textquotedbl{} (John 18,36)

What Francis 1st claims is a flagrant heresy and the accomplishment of Paul's prophecy:
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent \textquotedbl{}Let no man deceive you by any means, for unless there come a revolt first, and the Man of sin be revealed, the Son of perdition, Who opposes, and is lifted up above all that is called God, or that is worshipped, \textbf{so that he sits in the temple of God}, showing himself as if he were God\textquotedbl{} (2 Thessalonians 2,3-4).\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

The Adversary (the Antichrist with the actual Pope as an agent) who denies the new Covenant is personally sitting in God's sanctuary (the Vatican).

What is particularly wicked in Francis 1st is that he proclaims these deceiving opinions in an apostolic exhortations. Christians are theoretically supposed to listen to him. Moreover, this traitor Pope recommends \textquotedbl{}the friendship with the children of Israel\textquotedbl{}. He dœsn't say with the Jews. He says with the \textquotedbl{}children of Israel\textquotedbl{}. So, he implicitly invites Christians to accept Zionism and to recognize the State of Israel. Now, this State is the Beast of Saint John's Revelation (See the texts \href{/en/the-key-of-the-apocalypse-revelation/}{\textquotedbl{}The Key of the Apocalypse\textquotedbl{}} and \href{/en/the-antichrist-and-the-return-of-christ/}{\textquotedbl{}The Antichrist and the Return of Christ\textquotedbl{}}).

The true testimony owed to Jesus is, on the contrary, to refuse completely the recognition of the State of Israel (see the text \href{/en/christians-and-israel/}{\textquotedbl{}Christians and Israel\textquotedbl{}}). In other words, Francis 1st today invites officially all Christians to betray Jesus.

We should not be astonished by this betrayal. It had been announced by Jesus for the end of times:
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent \textquotedbl{}And then shall many be scandalized: and shall betray one another: and shall hate one another. And many false prophets shall rise, and shall seduce many\textquotedbl{} (Matthew 24,10-11).\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

These false prophets are the two Beasts of the Revelation, Israel and USA, and all those speaking in their favor...

It is again the Revelation of our beloved John which reveals us the true view of God:
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent \textquotedbl{}I know your tribulation and your poverty, but you are rich: and you are blasphemed by them that say they are Jews and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan\textquotedbl{} (Revelation 2,9).\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

They \textquotedbl{}say they are Jews and are not\textquotedbl{} because they deny the one and only Messiah sent by God. \textbf{True Jews} believe in Jesus who has perfectly accomplished all biblical prophecies about the Messiah.

Furthermore Paul underlines:
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent \textquotedbl{}For you, brothers and sisters, are become followers of the churches of God which are in Judea, in Christ Jesus: for you also have suffered the same things from your own countrymen, even as they have from the Jews, Who both killed the Lord Jesus, and the prophets, and have persecuted us, and please not God, and are \textbf{adversaries to all men}; Prohibiting us to speak to the Gentiles, that they may be saved, to fill up their sins always: for the wrath of God is come upon them to the end\textquotedbl{} (1 Thessalonians 2,14-16).\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

How can this traitor Francis exhort us to give our friendship to those who, according to Paul, \textquotedbl{}are adversaries to all men\textquotedbl{}, and who today, what's more, by the State of Israel, are the announced Antichrist with all its batch of injustices?

\subsubsection{To exit and quit}
The Pope who should have been light has become darkness.
The one who should have been Sun has become obscurity.

That's why God, who always precedes His enemy, proclaims in the Revelation about true believers:
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent \textquotedbl{}And night shall be no more: and they shall not need the light of the lamp, nor the light of the sun, because the Lord God shall enlighten them, and they shall reign forever and ever\textquotedbl{} (Revelation 22,5).\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

Indeed, today we can do without the Vatican traitors and those of other churches, and put into practice these enlightening words from Saint John:
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent \textquotedbl{}If any man come to you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into the house nor say to him, God speed you. For he that says unto him, God speed you, communicates with his wicked works\textquotedbl{} (2 John 10-11).\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

From now on, the Heavenly Jerusalem, composed of those who already live the Universal Restoration, is the light of the nations:
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent \textquotedbl{}And the city (the Heavenly Jerusalem) has no need of the sun (Vatican and other churches), nor of the moon (Mosques), to shine in it. For the glory of God has enlightened it, and the Lamb is the lamp thereof, And the nations shall walk in the light of it…\textquotedbl{} (Revelation 21,23)\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

The Revelation which is the book of our times indicates us the way to follow:
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent \textquotedbl{}Go out from her, my people; that you be not partakers of her sins, and that you receive not of her plagues… Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine, and she shall be burnt with the fire; because God is strong, who shall condemn her\textquotedbl{} (Revelation 18,4-8).\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

These verses apply to \textquotedbl{}Babylon the Great\textquotedbl{} (Revelation 18,2) that is Jerusalem, heart of the international Zionism.
In other words, God tells us all: dissociate yourself from Israel and quit this State. Quit it also in spirit, that is to say, stop being Zionists.
This call is addressed also to well intentioned Jews, to the \textquotedbl{}mislead\textquotedbl{} Jews, according to Jesus words to Pierre2, for whom we pray that the Morning Star (Revelation 22,16) rises in their hearts.

And in the same spirit it also means to Christians, they must dissociate themselves from the Church and all the churches that crawl before the Antichrist. It is the same for the other religions who have traitor religious chiefs.

Because these words from Peter and the Apostles to the Sanhedrin are again valid: \textquotedbl{}We ought to obey God, rather than men\textquotedbl{} (Acts 5,29).
No one can stop this movement of liberation that has started, because it comes from God, and not from man. What Gamaliel said at that time applies today:
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent \textquotedbl{}And now, therefore, I say to you, refrain from these men, and let them alone; for if this council or this work be of men, it will come to nought; But if it be of God, you cannot overthrow it, lest perhaps you be found even to fight against God\textquotedbl{} (Acts 5,38-39).\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

\subsubsection{God's response}
In view of a general Awakening and for the Glory of Jesus His Messiah, God will answer very soon to the traitors dwelling in the Vatican.

This betrayal had started when John XXIII for diplomacy sake had refused to divulge the secret of Fatima in 1960. The Pope had refused to obey to the explicit request of the Virgin Mary. Now, the true secret of Fatima -not the pseudo-secret divulged by John Paul II- reveals the identity of the Antichrist. (see the text \href{/en/marys-message-of-fatima/}{\textquotedbl{}Mary's message of Fatima\textquotedbl{}}).

Diplomacy has crushed Jesus' prophetic spirit. But, in God's Kingdom the lukewarm diplomat playing with words like Francis 1st is vomited (Revelation 3,15).
He wants to please the mighty of this world. However he forgets Mary's prophetic words in the Magnificat, where she proclaims about the Coming of the Messiah:
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent \textquotedbl{}He has put down the mighty from their seat, and has exalted the humble\textquotedbl{} (Luke 1,52).\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

Today, again, the mighty ones will be put down.

So, since 1960, this prophecy by Jesus addressing to Peter has well been accomplished:
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent \textquotedbl{}Amen, amen I say to you, when you was younger (when the church was still younger), you did gird yourself, and did walk where you would (you followed the Holy Spirit). But when you shall be old, you shall stretch forth your hands, and another shall gird you, and lead you whither you would not\textquotedbl{} (John 21,18).\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

This \textquotedbl{}another\textquotedbl{} is the Antichrist who, since Vatican II, lead the old Church today where it would not go, ie perdition.

We know God's answer to these traitors will be frightening.
It has been announced by our Mother in La Salette (1846):
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent \textquotedbl{}Rome (\textit{the Vatican}) will lose the faith and become the seat of the Antichrist\textquotedbl{}.
\textquotedbl{}Pagan Rome will disappear. The fire of Heaven will fall and consume three cities. All the universe will be struck with terror and many will let themselves be led astray (\textit{by the Antichrist}) because they have not worshipped the true Christ (Jesus) who lives among them\textquotedbl{}.\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

It has been announced even by Mary in Fatima (1917):
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent \textquotedbl{}In Rome also, there will be great changes. Rome will be destroyed. What is rotten falls and what falls must not be maintained. The Church will be darkened and the world sunk in confusion…\textquotedbl{}\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

It has been announced by Jesus to Pierre2 (Messages received):
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent 30.06.1976: \textquotedbl{}With all these earthquakes that you had in Europe, in Italy and you will have more in other parts of the world and in different shapes. Paris will be wiped out, in the same way Rome and the Vatican. Such is the secret of Fatima that the Sirs of the Vatican don’t want to reveal for their condemnation; but it won’t change things. Here, already we live the climate of the third world war\textquotedbl{}.

15.11.1992: \textquotedbl{}Many of those who want to know the secret of Fatima and criticize the silence on its behalf, would have had their tongues cut rather than reveal it. ‘This is intolerable language. How could anyone accept it?’ (John 6,60). All others ‘secrets’ would be acceptable, but not the revelation of the identity of the Antichrist… It disturbs too much!… It causes some persecutions that one is not ready to undergo… even for Christ’s love. Lucia, the poor and holy seer of Fatima, retired at the Carmelites in 1948… Why 1948? Exactly the year of the apparition of the ‘Beast!’\textquotedbl{}.

21.03.1994: \textquotedbl{}The treason appears by the non proclamation of the secret of Fatima and ends by the signature of the Vatican-Israeli agreement\textquotedbl{} (December 1993).\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

We are at the dawn of very big events.

The Revelation proclaims the consequences of the Betrayal. It is valid for everyone:
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent \textquotedbl{}If any man shall adore the beast and his image, and receive his character in his forehead, or in his hand (who thinks and works for it); He also shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is mingled with pure wine in the cup of his wrath, and shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the sight of the holy angels, and in the sight of the Lamb\textquotedbl{} (Revelation 14,9-10).\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

\textquotedbl{}He, that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the Churches...\textquotedbl{} (Revelation 2,11).

\subsubsection{A new appeal}
In the Name of Jesus Christ Returning among us and of the Virgin Mary we call all well intentioned men to rise against the Antichrist and against the traitor Churches supporting it.
The Revelation is the revolutionary book par excellence.
By saying: \textquotedbl{}Go out from her, my people...\textquotedbl{} (Revelation 18,4), Jesus addresses to all the true believers \textquotedbl{}of all nations, and tribes, and peoples, and tongues\textquotedbl{} (Revelation 7,9) to free them from Israel, traditional Churches and corrupt politicians.

Let's free ourselves and go directly to the Christ through the way of the heart.

It is Him who invites us:
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent \textquotedbl{}Behold, I stand at the gate, and knock. If any man shall hear my voice, and open to me the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me\textquotedbl{} (Revelation 3,20).\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

(see the texts: \href{/en/the-universal-restoration/}{\textquotedbl{}The Universal Restoration\textquotedbl{}}, \href{/en/jesus-restores-the-priesthood/}{\textquotedbl{}Jesus restores the priesthood\textquotedbl{}} and \href{/en/bread-of-life-and-new-priesthood/}{\textquotedbl{}Bread of Life and new Priesthood\textquotedbl{}}).

From the moment we identify the Beast and we commit ourselves against it, we enter the Circle of Jesus' intimates.
Then He reveals Himself to us in the intimacy of the heart and of the spirit, and His Return takes place in us. It is valid for all the religions, all the people, all the tongues.

Because to resist Israel is the Spirit of Jesus.

Jesus tells us also in this small Saint Book of the Revelation:
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent \textquotedbl{}And, Behold I come quickly. Blessed is he that keeps the words of the prophecy of this book… Behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to render to every man according to his works. I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end. Blessed are they that wash their robes in the blood of the Lamb: that they may have a right to the tree of life, and may enter in by the gates into the city. Without are dogs, and sorcerers, and unchaste, and murderers, and servers of idols, and every one that loves and makes a lie\textquotedbl{} (Revelation 22,7 / Revelation 22,12-15).\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

And out the traitors like you Sir the Pope!!!

\subsubsection{Evangelical Exhortations from Francis 1st (November 2013)}

\textbf{Relation with Judaism}

Full text on \href{http://www.vatican.va/holy_father/francesco/apost_exhortations/documents/papa-francesco_esortazione-ap_20131124_evangelii-gaudium_en.html#The_relation_with_Judaism}{www.vatican.va/holy\_father/francesco/apost\_exhortations/documents/papa-francesco\_esortazione-ap\_20131124\_evangelii-gaudium\_en.html\#The\_relation\_with\_Judaism}

\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent 247. We hold the Jewish people in special regard because their covenant with God has never been revoked, for \textquotedbl{}the gifts and the call of God are irrevocable\textquotedbl{} (Romans 11,29). The Church, which shares with Jews an important part of the sacred Scriptures, looks upon the people of the covenant and their faith as one of the sacred roots of her own Christian identity (cf. Romans 11,16-18). As Christians, we cannot consider Judaism as a foreign religion; nor do we include the Jews among those called to turn from idols and to serve the true God (cf. 1 Thessalonians 1: 9). With them, we believe in the one God who acts in history, and with them we accept his revealed word.

248. Dialogue and friendship with the children of Israel are part of the life of Jesus’ disciples. The friendship which has grown between us makes us bitterly and sincerely regret the terrible persecutions which they have endured, and continue to endure, especially those that have involved Christians.

249. God continues to work among the people of the Old Covenant and to bring forth treasures of wisdom which flow from their encounter with his word. For this reason, the Church also is enriched when she receives the values of Judaism. While it is true that certain Christian beliefs are unacceptable to Judaism, and that the Church cannot refrain from proclaiming Jesus as Lord and Messiah, there exists as well a rich complementarity which allows us to read the texts of the Hebrew Scriptures together and to help one another to mine the riches of God’s word. We can also share many ethical convictions and a common concern for justice and the development of peoples.\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

Here are a few more words from Paul about the Old Covenant, its minister, and its Law (that of Moses):
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent 2 Corinthians 3,5-16: \textquotedbl{}Not that we are sufficient to think anything of ourselves, as of ourselves: but our sufficiency is from God. Who also has made us fit \textbf{ministers of the new testament, not in the letter, but in the spirit. For the letter kills, but the spirit gives life}. Now if the ministration of death, engraved with letters upon stones, was glorious; so that the children of Israel could not steadfastly behold the face of Moses, for the glory of his countenance, which is made void: How shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather in glory? For if the ministration of condemnation be glory, much more the ministration of justice abounded in glory. For even that which was glorious in this part was not glorified, by reason of the glory that excels. For if that which is done away was glorious, much more that which remains is in glory. Having therefore such hope, we use much confidence: And not as Moses put a veil upon his face, that the children of Israel might not steadfastly look on the face of that which is made void. But their senses were made dull. For, until this present day, the selfsame veil, in the reading of the old testament, remains not taken away (because in Christ it is made void). But even until this day, when Moses is read, the veil is upon their heart. But when they shall be converted to the Lord, the veil shall be taken away\textquotedbl{}.\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent Galatians 2,16-21: \textquotedbl{}But knowing that man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ; we also believe in Christ Jesus, that we may be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: because by the works of the law no flesh shall be justified. But if while we seek to be justified in Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners; is Christ then, the minister of sin? God forbid. For if I build up again the things which I have destroyed, I make myself a prevaricator. For I, through the law, am dead to the law, that I may live to God: with Christ I am nailed to the cross. And I live, now not I; but Christ lives in me. And that I live now in the flesh: I live in the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and delivered himself for me. I cast not away the grace of God. \textbf{For if justice be by the law, then Christ died in vain}.\textquotedbl{}\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent Galatians 5,1-6: \textquotedbl{}We are not the children of the bondwoman, but of the free: by the freedom wherewith Christ has made us free. Stand fast, and be not held again under the yoke of bondage. Behold, I Paul tell you, that if you be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing. And I testify again to every man circumcising himself, that he is a debtor to the whole law. \textbf{You are made void of Christ, you who are justified in the law: you are fallen from grace}. For we in spirit, by faith, wait for the hope of justice. For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision avails anything, nor uncircumcision: but faith that works by love\textquotedbl{}.\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

How can therefore Francis 1st say that the Covenant with the Jews has not been revoked by God?

\section{The Antichrist}

\subsection{On the Subject of the Antichrist}
Message of SB
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent Hello,
I have read some of your articles carefully, and partially agree with you when you say that the Antichrist (or the Antechrist, that is, the one who, anyway, will manifest himself before Christ) must manifest himself first and even go so far as to seat himself in God’s sanctuary. However, I strongly doubt that this “God’s Sanctuary” could be the Vatican, because considering the impressive number of “idols” of all kinds in this place, I seriously ask myself how one can call this place as the “Sanctuary of God”! Don’t get me wrong, the Roman Catholic Church is guilty of having voluntarily eliminated the second authentic commandment of God which specifically forbids the reproduction and display of “images” or “statues” of all kinds, before which people bow down to worship. Having said that, I rather believe that a third Jewish Temple will one day be built in Israel, and that it is at this place, the true “Temple of God”, that the Antichrist will even go so far as to sit! You know, for Orthodox (non-Christian) Jews, a Messiah has always been an important persona of their history. David, for example, was considered at his time a true “messiah” (a sort of national hero) by the priests of Israel, ie an “anointed” of God. So, from this simple observation, it would be logical to admit that the real \textquotedbl{}Antichrist\textquotedbl{} will be the \textquotedbl{}Messiah\textquotedbl{} expected and accepted by the Orthodox Jews (surely one of their own!), who obviously deny the fact that Jesus may be the Messiah, since they consider him rather an \textquotedbl{}impostor\textquotedbl{}!

We are well aware of your logic concerning the Zionist Temple, a logic which has exploited and seduced, as Jesus had predicted (Matthew 24), a great number of badly rooted Christians, especially among Anglo-American Protestants, to the point of supporting the Antichrist in his projects instead of fighting him, and this since Lord Balfour. Jesus never acted in this way! He announced, to the contrary, of the great scandal of the Zionists of former days and of today, the destruction of the temple of Jerusalem in favor of his Temple: Himself (John 2).

Your concept of the temple of Jerusalem as \textquotedblleft{}the true Temple of God\textquotedblright{} (?!) is a heresy denounced by Christ Himself who considered, as you well know, that this temple is \textquotedblleft{}a den of robbers\textquotedblright{} (Luke 19,46), just as the Vatican was denounced in \textquotedblleft{}La Salette\textquotedblright{}, by \textquotedblleft{}You know Who\textquotedblright{}, as being \textquotedblleft{}cesspools of impurity\textquotedblright{}. She is quite right and it is not I who contradicts Her by saying that it was the devil who denounces himself... like the Pharisees used to say about Christ in the past (Matthew 12,24-28 / Luke 11,14-18). If the Vatican, and rightly so, is no longer worthy of being the Temple of God, the temple you defend is even less so. The logic of the living Christ will triumph over that of men.

Mary, She, \textquotedblleft{}who received a special grace\textquotedblright{} directly from God, not men (a grace that no other woman has obtained, whether you like it or not!), She, whose \textquotedblleft{}soul was pierced so that the secret thoughts of many may be laid bare\textquotedblright{} (Luke 2,35), this humble Woman already unmasks many disguised hearts. This \textbf{unique grace given to Mary} was perceived by Elizabeth who, under the influence of the Holy Spirit, saw the privilege gratified to Mary and, before her grandeur exclaimed: \textquotedblleft{}\textbf{Of all women You are the most blessed}... Why \textbf{should I} be honored with the visit from the Mother of my Lord?\textquotedblright{} It is thanks to her love and humility that Elizabeth saw the emblem of Mary's greatness who, always influenced by the Holy Spirit, answered: \textquotedblleft{}My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord... Yes, from this day forward all generations will call me blessed, for the Almighty has done great things \textbf{for me}\textquotedblright{} (Luke 1,39-49). We say \textquotedblleft{}Amen\textquotedblright{} to these inspired words because only the generations of the damned will not recognize the unique greatness of the Woman, chosen by the Father to be the Mother of His Word, Incarnate.

On the other hand, we would like to point out that, like David, King Cyrus, a non-Jew, was also considered \textquotedblleft{}anointed\textquotedblright{}, Messiah, for having allowed the reconstruction of the Temple (Isaiah 45,1). Now, Jesus is uniquely THE TEMPLE, it is why He is the only Messiah. In this Temple, no impurity can enter; John saw no other Temple in the spiritual Jerusalem (Revelation 21,22-27). We refer you to the excellent book \textquotedblleft{}THE BIBLE UNEARTHED\textquotedblright{} (Bayard) written by two non-fanatical Jewish archeologists: \textquotedblleft{}Israel Finkelstein and Neil Asher Silberman\textquotedblright{}. They historically shed light on the reality of David and his alleged temple. They aroused outrage amidst the Zionist ranks and fundamentalist rabbis. Nevertheless, the facts speak for themselves. We also refer you to the non-Zionist Jewish websites of Israel Shamir (\url{www.israelshamir.net}) and the Orthodox Jews \textquotedblleft{}Neturei Karta\textquotedblright{} (\url{www.nkusa.org}) who are opposed to the State of Israel and the reconstruction of the Temple. They understood certain points better than the so-called disciples of Jesus. Such Jews are not far from believing that the Beast of chapter 13 of the Book of Revelation is Israel, because soon, \textquotedblleft{}Everyone will see Him, even those who pierced Him...\textquotedblright{} (Revelation 1,7)

Reconsider your accounts all the way through, because God will confound the analysis of modern Pharisees and \textquotedblleft{}literalists\textquotedblright{}, and because \textquotedblleft{}the written letters bring death, but the Spirit gives life.\textquotedblright{} (2 Corinthians 3,6) Moreover, and always according to the Spirit, not according to the letter which leads astray, the second commandment applies to the pagan spirit of the past which \textbf{adored} gods which are naught; not to those who, according to the Spirit of Christ, cherish and esteem reproductions of the holy souls who exist and remind us, by seeing them, of the salutary importance of spiritual life in Jesus. This fact displeases the demons and those they control to deceive, out of hatred, the other, not out of love for the Truth. \textbf{To venerate} holy souls, dœs not mean the worship of other gods. All it takes is a little discernment, look!! Otherwise, as rabbis do, and according to literal interpretation, men should be forbidden of having photos of their families, their children, their deceased... Those who still persist to understand the Scriptures in the narrow mind of the Torah, are the unhappiest of men. Their baptism was of no use to them (Galatians 3,3).

Should we still speak of the Eucharistic commandment of Jesus concerning the \textquotedblleft{}Bread of Life\textquotedblright{}? This commandment is overlooked and distorted by so many so-called Christians. Yet, \textquotedblleft{}unless you eat the Flesh of the Son of Man, and drink his Blood, you have no life in you\textquotedblright{} (John 6,51-58). Some see this only as a symbol. Where it is necessary to interpret to the letter, they insert their minds there, and where it is necessary to interpret in Spirit, they use the letter which kills: \textquotedblleft{}For my Flesh\textquotedblright{}, Jesus says, \textquotedblleft{}is REAL Food and my Blood is REAL Drink... But there are some of you who do not believe.\textquotedblright{} (John 6,55-64) There are, alas, among us too, who hardly believe in it! These were the Words of the Word of Life. They confound human interpretations and mentalities who do not believe in them: \textquotedbl{}because a person who eats and drinks, \textbf{without recognizing the Body is eating and drinking his own condemnation}.\textquotedbl{} (1Corinthians 11,29)

The Apocalyptic events which are already taking place around the Euphrates (Revelation 9 and 16) speak, speak even louder, and \textquotedblleft{}anyone has ears to hear, let him listen to what the Spirit is saying to the churches.\textquotedblright{} Too bad for the others! These prophetic events will confirm the integrity of our Message in its entirety.

The mention of \textquotedblleft{}Nephtali\textquotedblright{} at the tail of your address reveals a spirit. Why not \textquotedblleft{}Zebulon\textquotedblright{} ... or one of the twelve apostles instead?

\subsection{Antechrist or Antichrist?}
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent Why do you always speak of Antichrist and not Antechrist?\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

Some speak of the Antechrist, the word for precursor of Christ. John the Baptist was the Precursor of Jesus: Antechrist. Now, it is about the An\textbf{ti}christ, the \textbf{Enemy} of Christ. In fact, the original text of the Bible, written in Greek by St John, speaks of the \textquotedbl{}AN\textbf{TI}XRISTOS\textquotedbl{} and reveals to us, the specific characteristic of this Enemy of Christ Jesus: \textquotedbl{}The man who denies that Jesus is the Christ­--he is the liar, he is the Antichrist\textquotedbl{}(1 John 2,22).

It is regrettable to note that even some Bibles and dictionaries do not make this distinction and fail to have recourse to the original Greek Biblical text. This error is only found in French translations. In English, it is indeed \textquotedbl{}Antichrist\textquotedbl{}, in Italian \textquotedblleft{}Anticristo\textquotedbl{}, and in modern Greek \textquotedblleft{}Antixristos\textquotedbl{}.

In a broader sense, we can speak in our time of the Antechrist also by designating the Antichrist, because this enemy of Christ appears in the End Times, before the apocalyptic return of Christ. Therefore, he is also the accursed forerunner of the blessed Christ.

Karol Wojtila, has seriously lied. He dœs not merit the name of the Apostles John and Paul.
I present to you here, the indisputable argument of his lie.

He said in 2000 that the secret of Fatima concerned the attempt on his person on May 13, 1981.

Our Mother asked that the secret of Fatima be revealed in 1960 so \textquotedblleft{}to be understood.\textquotedblright{}

If it was revealed on that date, in 1960, it would CERTAINLY NOT have been a question of a future event, to take place 21 years later.

No one would have understood. It is CERTAINLY an event PRIOR to 1960 to be understood in 1960, and not an event after 1960.

An event that took place in 1948...... in Palestine!!!

\section{The Apocalypse}

\subsection{Do you not think that God's Mercy will reign prevalent over the world rather than his anger?}
We can only answer inspired by the Holy Spirit. This Spirit was in its fullness in the Messiah who had said to his Apostles:

\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent \textquotedbl{}When the Consoler comes, whom I shall send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who issues from the Father, he will be my witness. And you too will be witnesses, because you have been with me from the outset.\textquotedbl{} (John 15,26-27)\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

This testimony -with the Holy Spirit- concerns not only the first Apostles, those who were with Jesus form the outset, but also the Apostles of the End of Times, those who are to announce His Return, who remain with Him until the end, by the power of the Holy Spirit who is in them.

Jesus spoke explicitly about the Apostles at his Return:
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent \textquotedbl{}They will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And he will send his Angels (\textit{Apostles of the end of times}) with a loud trumpet to gather his chosen from the four winds…\textquotedbl{} (Matthew 24,30-31)\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

The first Apostles bore witness in the past for Jesus. The last Apostles must do the same by \textquotedblleft{}prophesying again, this time against many different nations and countries and languages and emperors\textquotedblright{}, seduced by the Beast (Revelation 10,11).

Like their predecessors, the Apocalyptic Apostles can bear witness only with the support of the Holy Spirit in them. One of the clauses of this testimony is the explosive announcement of the Divine Wrath upon the world. It is no longer a question of mercy for a world gone wicked. It will be, said Jesus, as in the days of the flood with Noah and Sodom and Gomorrah with Lot (Luke 17,26-30).

Our Apocalyptic witnessing, inspired by the Holy Spirit, prompts us to say that God will answer the prayers of \textquotedblleft{}the souls of all the people who had been killed on account of the Word of God, for witnessing to it\textquotedblright{}, against the Beast (Revelation 6,9).

These holy souls cry out to God, \textquotedblleft{}shout aloud, 'Holy, Faithful Master, how much longer will you wait before you pass sentence and take vengeance for our death on the inhabitants of the earth?'\textquotedblright{} (Revelation 6,10) The Apocalyptic Apostles offer the Father these prayers throught \textquotedblleft{}the golden censer... from which the smoke of the incense gœs up in the presence of God and with it the prayers of the saints.\textquotedblright{} (Revelation 8,3-4)

God responds, reveals the Book of Revelation, and takes His vengeance in glory:
\textquotedblleft{}The nations were seething with rage and now the time has come for your own anger... and for your servants the prophets... to be rewarded... The time has come to destroy those who are destroying the earth.\textquotedblright{} (Revelation 11,18) ... \textquotedblleft{}You alone are Holy, and all the pagans will come and adore you for the many acts of justice you have shown.\textquotedblright{} (Revelation 15,4) Jesus had already predicted that \textquotedblleft{}this is the time of vengeance when all that scripture says must be fulfilled.\textquotedblright{} (Luke 21,22) It is therefore no longer a question of mercy. It is time to examine what is written in the Book of Revelation.

It is upon the Beast and its allies that the Vengeance of the Holy Father falls (Revelation 17,12-14 / 18,1-24 / 19,20-21 / 20,7-10).

True believers, they alone, will escape this Divine Vengeance that \textquotedblleft{}will come down on every living man on the face of the earth\textquotedblright{}, said Jesus who recommended:  
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent \textquotedbl{}Stay awake, praying at all times for the strength to survive all that is going to happen, and to stand with confidence before the Son of Man.\textquotedbl{} (Luke 21,34-36)\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

However, the Savior never stops short of reassuring the pure hearts who remain faithful to Him until the end against the Beast, all His Apostles and Witnesses of the Last Days: 
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent \textquotedbl{}When these things begin to take place, stand erect, hold your head high, because your liberation is near at hand.\textquotedbl{} (Luke 21,28)\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

\subsection{The Apocalyptic fight against the Antichrist}
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent Hello Pierre,
But how is it possible that Jesus wants to wage war against Israel with weapons? If Israel is an illegitimate state, it should cease to exist through diplomacy.\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

Dear G.,

To understand the prophetical dimension of the armed struggle of the Palestinians to liberate their land, it is necessary to meditate carefully on the verses below:
Unfortunately, traditional churches never explain these verses. They are not even able to. That is because they do not have or have refused the Key, which is the Revelation, opened.

The Time of Revelation is the time of God's Justice that was prophesied by Jesus Himself. At the end of time, Jesus comes back to punish His enemies who reject Him, and to reward His true followers who will have committed themselves against the Beast.
Jesus spoke about it in the Gospels, tackling the subject of the End Times. This is the theme of the Wedding of the Son of the King (God):
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent Mark 12,7-11: “But those tenants said to each other, ‘This is the heir; come on, let us kill him; and the inheritance will be ours.’ So they seized him and killed him and threw him out of the vineyard. Now what will the lord of the vineyard do? He will come (\textit{Jesus’ Return}) and \textbf{make an end of the tenants} and give the vineyard to others. Have you not read the text of scripture: It was the stone rejected by the builders that became the keystone. This was the Lord's doing and it is wonderful to see?”

Matthew 22,2-9: “The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a king who gave a feast for his son’s wedding. He sent his servants (\textit{the Apostles of the End of Times})to call those who had been invited, but they would not come. Next he sent some more servants (\textit{the Two Witnesses}). ‘Tell those who have been invited,’ he said, ‘that I have my banquet all prepared, my oxen and fattened cattle have been slaughtered, everything is ready. Come to the wedding.’ But they were not interested: one went off to his farm, another to his business, and the rest seized his servants (\textit{the Palestinians, the Lebanese Resistance}), maltreated them and killed them. \textbf{The king was furious. He dispatched his troops, destroyed those murderers and burned their town (\textit{Jerusalem})}. Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding is ready; but as those who were invited proved to be unworthy, go to the crossroads in the town and invite everyone you can find to the wedding.’”\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

The troops sent today by God-King are the Palestinians, Hizballah, Syria and those who support them. It is about \textquotedblleft{}burning their town\textquotedblright{} (the city of those who killed the sent servants). It is a fight for Justice and liberation as that of Saint Joan of Arc. The land of the Palestinians is occupied like the time the English occupied a part of France.

The enemies of Jesus are those \textquotedblleft{}who did not want Him to reign over them\textquotedblright{}:
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent Luke 19,12-27: “Accordingly he said, ‘A man of noble birth went to a distant country to be appointed king and afterward return…’ Now on his return (\textit{Jesus’ Return}), having received his appointment as king, he sent for those servants to whom he had given the money, to find out what profit each had made… ‘But as for my enemies who did not want me for their king, bring them here, \textbf{and execute them in my presence}.\textquotedbl{}\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

At the appointed time, God's Wrath will fall upon His enemies.

At the helm of these troops who execute the Vengeance of God is Jesus, the Rider:
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent Revelation 19,11-14:: “And now I saw heaven open, and a white horse appear; its rider was called Faithful and True;  \textbf{he is a judge with integrity, a warrior for justice}. His eyes were flames of fire, and his head was crowned with many coronets; the name written on him was known only to himself, his cloak was soaked in blood. He is known by the name, The Word of God. Behind him, dressed in linen of dazzling white, rode the armies of heaven on white horses.”\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

This War of Justice that the Rider on the White Horse is waging is not just a spiritual war, but also a physical war because:
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent Revelation 19,1-2: “After this I seemed to hear the great sound of a huge crowd in heaven, singing, ‘Alleluia! Victory and glory and power to our God! He judges fairly, he punishes justly, and he has condemned the famous prostitute (\textit{Jerusalem}) who corrupted the earth with her fornication; he has avenged his servants (\textit{the servants killed in Matthew 22}),that she killed.’”

Revelation 16,5-6: “Then I heard the angel of water say, ‘You are the holy He-Is-and-He-Was, the Just One, and this is a just punishment: they spilled the blood of the saints and the prophets, and blood is what you have given them to drink; it is what they deserve!’”

Revelation 14,19-20: : “So the angel set his sickle to work on the earth and harvested the whole vintage of the earth and put it into a huge winepress, the winepress of the wrath of God, outside the city, where it was trodden, \textbf{until the blood that came out of the winepress was up to the horses’ bridles },as far away as sixteen hundred furlongs (\textit{the breadth of Palestine}).\textquotedbl{}\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

It is a language of war.

The Apocalypse calls to this holy war of resistance by saying:
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent Revelation 13,10: “Those for captivity, into captivity; the sword for those who kill by the sword. This is why the saints must resist and have faith.”\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

The Resistance and the Faith of the Saints therefore consist today in giving back to the Beast what it has sown. It is a very strong Call to Combat the Beast. This verse is translated here from the original text. In the recent Bibles, the text is often diluted.

Our Father invites the combatants to render back to the Beast even double of what it had done:
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent Revelation 18,6-8: : “She is to be paid in her own coin. \textbf{She must be paid double the amount she exacted }. She is to have a doubly strong cup of her own mixture. Every one of her shows and orgies is to be matched by a torture or a grief. ‘I am the queen on my throne’, she says to herself, ‘and I am no widow and shall never be in mourning.’ For that, within a single day, the plagues will fall on her: disease and mourning and famine. \textbf{She will be burned right up}. The Lord God has condemned her, and he has great power.”\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

The same Call is also contained in the following verses:
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent Revelation 19,17-21: “I saw an angel standing in the sun, and he shouted aloud to all the birds that were flying high overhead in the sky, ‘Come here. Gather together at the great feast that God is giving. There will be the flesh of kings for you, and the flesh of great generals and heroes, the flesh of horses and their riders and of all kinds of men, citizens and slaves, small and great.’ Then I saw the beast, with all the kings of the earth and their armies, gathered together to fight the rider and his army. But the beast was taken prisoner, together with the false prophet who had worked miracles on the beast's behalf and by them had deceived all who had been branded with the mark of the beast and worshiped his image. These two were thrown alive into the fiery lake of burning Sulphur…”\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

God's true disciples answer the Call and join this Fight, be it on a material or spiritual level, depending on each one's Mission.

Here are some more verses that show that this war in not exclusively spiritual:
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent Revelation 11,13: “Immediately, there was a violent earthquake, \textbf{and a tenth of the city collapsed}; seven thousand persons were killed in the earthquake…”

Revelation 16,13-14: : “Then from the jaws of dragon and beast and false prophet I saw three foul spirits come; they looked like frogs and in fact were demon spirits, able to work miracles, going out to all the kings of the world \textbf{to call them together for the war } of the Great Day of God the Almighty.”

Revelation 18,17-18: “‘… your riches are all destroyed within a single hour.’ All the captains and seafaring men, sailors and all those who make a living from the sea \textbf{will be keeping a safe distance, watching the smoke as she burns},and crying out, ‘Has there ever been a city as great as this!’”

Revelation 20,8-9: “They will come swarming over the entire country and besiege the camp of the saints, which is the city that God loves  (\textit{Jerusalem}). \textbf{ But fire will come down on them from heaven and consume them\textquotedbl{}.}\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

To finish, a few more Messages from Jesus received by Pierre:
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent 1970-10-16: \textquotedbl{}Padre Pio promises me to hand me an image of Mary. It is a picture of Palestinian children that I receive with a cross on the picture among the children.\textquotedbl{}
Conclusion: The Virgin is the Palestinian people in holocaust.

1970-10-23: “The punishment that gives us peace is upon him (\textit{on the Palestinian})\textquotedbl{}.

1970-11-02: “Woe to you, journalists, modern scribes who inform the lie.”

1971-09-15: “Would you like to know what we would do to Christ if He came back? Observe the Palestinians who share His fate!!!”  (\textit{repeated}).

1975-04-22: \textquotedbl{}Those who help them (\textit{the Palestinians}) will live forever.\textquotedbl{}

1975: \textquotedbl{}The Palestinians are the Body of the Christ.\textquotedbl{}

1980-05-09: “The blood flowing from the veins of the Palestinian Fedayeen is the result of the blood that flowed from My veins. The cry of anguish and pain from the heart of the Palestinian is the echo of My cry of agony. He will share my Resurrection.”

1981-04-19: “The sons of the Devil will say to their father one day: ‘It was the Palestinians who stopped us from establishing your kingdom on earth’.”

1983-07-01: “My new name is ‘fiercely anti-Zionist Palestinian’.”

1991-04-27: “Palestine duped to be crucified like Jesus.”

1991-08-25: “The innocent blood of the Palestinians shed by the Beast is precious in the eyes of God. Like the innocent Blood of Christ, this human blood will finally abort the plan of the Antichrist  (\textit{Revelation 11/12}). Christ spoke to us in Dozulè of a human redemptive blood. It is the one spilled by the Beast in Jerusalem and Palestine, ‘where their Lord was crucified (\textit{Revelation 11,8})’. This is the great cross seen by the seer Magdalen, as big as Jerusalem, the criminal ‘Great City’ of all times (\textit{Revelation 17,6 \& 17,18 / Revelation 18,24 / Matthew 23,37-39}). Tiny Palestine has been the center of Redemption through the shedding of Holy Blood; this is happening again by the shedding of human blood.”

2000-10-30: \textquotedbl{}Palestine will glorify God and His Messiah for 500 years.\textquotedbl{}

2003-04-16 \textquotedbl{}The Iraqi Resistance (\textit{like the French and Palestinian resistance}).\textquotedbl{}

2004-08-30: \textquotedbl{}Peace between the slain (\textit{Palestinians}) and the slayers (\textit{Israelis}) is impossible.\textquotedbl{}

1971-07-24: “All men, all sinners, all the distraught now have a chance to redeem themselves. Let them join the struggle against evil embodied in the Beast”.\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

You are free G. to believe everything that has been written here or not.
As the disciples said to Jesus at the time:
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent “After hearing it, many of his followers said, ‘This is intolerable language. How could anyone accept it?’”(John 6,60)\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

Likewise today, many will not be able to bear this strong language of the Spirit. And yet, these are the words of the Book of Life (Revelation 20,12).

Have a good journey and may our Mother enlighten you.

\section{The Universal Restoration}

\subsection{The Eucharist without a priest?}
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent You say that you believe in the Eucharist; how do you  manage without a priest?\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

The Eucharist is indeed the Bread of spiritual Life and of the Resurrection (see John 6,51-58 / Matthew 26,26-29). We prefer to call it \textquotedblleft{}the Bread of Life\textquotedblright{} according to Jesus' expression Himself (Jean 6,35) or the \textquotedblleft{}Lord's Supper\textquotedblright{} according to the Apostles (1 Corinthians 11,20). Eucharist comes from the Greek Eukharistia which means \textquotedblleft{}Thanksgiving\textquotedblright{}. After eating the Body and Blood of Christ, the first Christians thanked God. But that dœs not reveal the Substance: The Body, Blood, Soul and Spirit of Christ are present therein (Marc 14,22-24 / 1 Corinthians 11,23-29). Over time, for the vast majority of believers, the Eucharist represents something; but it is \textbf{Someone} alive: The Christ! This Bread of Life is Jesus living with us, in us. See \textbf{the prayer of Hermann Cohen} in our text: \href{/en/jesus-restores-the-priesthood/}{\textquotedbl{}Jesus restores the priesthood\textquotedbl{}}.

One must be a priest of Christ Jesus to be able to incarnate his Body and his Blood in the Bread and the Wine. In the end times in which we live, Jesus inaugurates a new priesthood worthy of the \textquotedblleft{}New Earth and New Heaven\textquotedblright{} (Revelation 21,1-5). At his First Coming, Jesus shook the Jewish priesthood. Likewise, today, at His Second Coming, and by virtue of this new era, Jesus is establishing a new revolutionary priesthood, an apocalyptic priesthood. This shakes the Christian conceptions acquired along the centuries from the old and outdated Earth and Heaven.

This priesthood is reserved for those, men and women, who believe in the Apocalyptic message revealed by Jesus Himself in 1970: \textquotedblleft{}He loves us and has washed away our sins with His blood, and made of us a line of kings, \textbf{priests} to serve His God and Father\textquotedbl{} (Revelation 1,5-6 / Revelation 5,10 / Revelation 20,6).

Christ, who is able to incarnate Himself in the bread and wine by a traditional priest, even if he is unworthy, is all the more able to do the same by Apocalyptic priests and priestesses \textbf{of His choice}.

Happy are those who believe!

\subsection{Conference on the Apocalypse?}
Some correspondents asked us to come to Italy and give a conference on the Book of Revelation. Many people would be interested.

Here is our response:

I am replying to you regarding the possibility of having a conference about the Book of Revelation in Italy and elsewhere. I urge you to read this carefully and calmly, referring to biblical references.
Imagine me (or you) trying to speak at a conference about the \textquotedblleft{}New Priesthood\textquotedblright{}, the Apocalyptic one and about the \textquotedblleft{}New Heaven\textquotedblright{}.

The New Priesthood:
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent \textquotedbl{}He loves us… He made of us a line of kings, PRIESTS to serve his God and Father\textquotedbl{} (Revelation 1,5-6). 
\textquotedbl{}You are worthy to take the scroll (\textit{of Revelation}) and to break the seals… you were sacrificed and with your blood you bought people for God of every race, language, people and nation… made them a line of kings and PRIESTS for God to rule the world\textquotedbl{} (Revelation 5,9-10).
\textquotedbl{}Blessed and holy are who share in the first resurrection… they will be PRIESTS of God and of Christ…\textquotedbl{} (Revelation 20,6).\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

It is clear that a new priesthood is accessible to those who recognize the Beast, who open the door of their hearts and their homes to welcome the Divine Bridegroom, thus automatically becoming priests of a new covenant, the Apocalyptic Alliance:
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent \textquotedbl{}Look, I am standing at the door (\textit{of the heart}) knocking; if one of you hears me calling and opens the door, I will come in to share a meal at that person’s side.\textquotedbl{} (Revelation 3,20)\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

Jesus had prepared us for this new priesthood. We see in Luke's Gospel:
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent \textquotedbl{}Be like people waiting for their master… ready to open the door as soon as he comes and knocks… He will sit them down at Table (\textit{The Eucharist})\textquotedbl{} (Luke 12,35-38).\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

We are at Table with Him and our Dearest Mother in our homes, because He made of all of us, who believe in the Revelation of May 13 1970, a new priesthood. We have opened to Him the door AS SOON AS He arrived, like the bride who ardently awaits the Bridegroom. So He sits us down at His Table in our homes.

Thus, it is now imperative to follow the advice of Jesus:   
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent \textquotedbl{}Why not judge for yourselves what is right?\textquotedbl{} (Luke 12,57).\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

Therefore, let us be independent Christians by judging for ourselves...

It is not easy for the feeble and lukewarm to judge for themselves!

If I had to give an apocalyptic conference and say these things, nobody would be left in the room to listen. Everyone would leave as did the Hebrews, who left Jesus when he spoke of his Flesh and Blood to eat and drink: 
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent \textquotedbl{}This is intolerable language! How can anyone accept it? … After this, many of his disciples left him and stopped going with him.\textquotedbl{} (John 6,60-66)\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

It is still not the time to speak openly. 
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent \textquotedbl{}Keep the words of the seven thunderclaps secret and do not write them down…\textquotedbl{} (Revelation 10,4).\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

Many have left me and persecuted me for what I say. A few blessed others believe me, becoming priests for Eternity and Eat with Jesus around his Table (Matthew 22). An example: whilst speaking to our dear G. a couple of days ago, he tells me that a brother (monk) no longer wanted to listen to him because of the blind obedience to the Pope of Rome. We say what Peter did before the enraged Sanhedrin: \textquotedblleft{}We cannot stop proclaiming what we have seen and heard...\textquotedblright{} (Acts 4,19-20) And, \textquotedblleft{}Obedience to God comes before obedience to men...\textquotedblright{} (Acts 5,29) \textquotedblleft{}Rome will lose the faith and become the seat of the Antichrist\textquotedblright{}, said our Immaculate Mother in La Salette.

The moment has arrived \textquotedbl{}... the book of life was opened (\textit{The Apocalypse}), and other books opened (\textit{of the Bible, the Gospels to understand the prophecies}) (Revelation 20,11-13)... and \textquotedbl{}to judge for ourselves\textquotedbl{} if we want to please Jesus and Our Mother.

The New Heaven and the New Earth are mentioned in Revelation 21 and 22 as you know.

It will soon be time to speak and reveal these things openly: 
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent \textquotedbl{}Do not keep the prophecies of this book a secret…\textquotedbl{} (Revelation 22,10)\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

Union of prayers in love around Jesus and Mary.
Your brother who loves you.

Ps: It would be good to read on the website \href{/en/the-universal-restoration/}{\textquotedbl{}The Universal Restoration\textquotedbl{}}, \href{/en/jesus-restores-the-priesthood/}{\textquotedbl{}Jesus restores the Priesthood\textquotedbl{}}, \href{/en/bread-of-life-and-new-priesthood/}{\textquotedbl{}Bread of Life and New Priesthood\textquotedbl{}}.

\subsection{The prophet Haggai and the Temple}
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent I have read the prophet Haggai and had some doubts about the construction of the Temple. It seems like God blessed the construction of a material Temple, and not of a spiritual one as you claim.
G.\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

We need to understand Haggai's prophecies, like all the prophets, not materially, but spiritually. The Reconstruction of the Temple, which is a blessing for all who participate in it, aims for God's intention for the Reconstruction of the True Temple of God according to the Word of Jesus:
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent \textquotedbl{}Destroy this Temple, and in three days I will raise it up… But He was speaking of the Temple that was His body\textquotedbl{} (John 2,19-21).\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

It is in working for the construction of this Temple in us that we obtain all the blessings of which the prophet Haggai speaks of in chapters 1 and 2.

Understanding the Temple's reconstruction materially concerning Haggai's prophecy is nonsense. For the 2nd temple did not have the beauty of the first (see Ezra 3,12 and the Biblical Course on the Book of Ezra). So you have to rise up to the spiritual level to understand it. Moreover, it is through the Temple of the Body of Christ that our Father grants us Peace, according to the words of Haggai:  
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent \textquotedbl{}...and in this place I shall give peace\textquotedbl{} (Haggai 2,9).\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

It is uniquely in Jesus that we find peace: 
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent \textquotedbl{}Peace I bequeath to you, my own peace I give you, a peace the world cannot give…\textquotedbl{} (John 14,27)\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

If the Zionist Jews are still waging wars over a geographical territory, it is because they still have not built the Spiritual Temple by accepting in them the Spirit of the true Christ. Until now, they still have not put their hands in the construction of the true spiritual Temple. It is why Haggai continues a little further, saying: 
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent \textquotedbl{}‘It is the same with this people,’ he said, ‘the same with this nation as I see it—it is Yahweh who speaks—the same with everything they turn their hands to; and what they offer here is unclean.’\textquotedbl{} (Haggai 2,14)\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

Benediction commences with faith in Jesus, the true Messiah of God, and the commitment of building His internal and universal Temple in us. And so, we enter this \textquotedblleft{}today\textquotedblright{}, which Haggai speaks of: \textquotedblleft{}From today onward I intend to bless you\textquotedblright{}. 

In Haggai's writings -as in all the writings of the prophets- the \textquotedblleft{}lying pen\textquotedblright{} of the scribes (Jeremiah 8,8) has infiltrated. We recognize it well in these words which are certainly not inspired by God: 
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent \textquotedbl{}Mine is the silver, mine the gold!\textquotedbl{} (Haggai 2,8).\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

In fact, Haggai invites us to believe in the true Messiah, saying: 
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent \textquotedbl{}When that day comes… I will take you, Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, my servant—it is Yahweh Sabaoth who speaks—and make you like a signet ring. For I have chosen you—it is Yahweh Sabaoth who speaks.\textquotedbl{} (Haggai 2,23).\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em} 

This \textquotedbl{}signet ring\textquotedbl{} is the Messiah who will come from the line of Zerubbabel. And this prophecy concerns, above all, the Return of Jesus, because in verse 2,22, Haggai says: 
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent \textquotedbl{}I will overturn the thrones of kingdoms and destroy the power of the kings of the nations…\textquotedbl{}\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

It is at the end of Times that God our Father will reconstruct the true spiritual Temple (Revelation 21,22), source of all Blessings and of true Peace.

It is thanks to the \textquotedblleft{}small open book\textquotedblright{} of Revelation (Revelation 10,2) that we understand the true level of God's thinking. Indeed, the Book of Revelation draws our attention that the two olive trees which the prophet Zechariah speaks of (contemporary of Haggai; Zechariah 4,1-14) are in God's intention, the two witnesses of the Apocalypse: they are therefore the two Palestinian and Lebanese peoples who resist Israel and are put to death by this State. Our Father, by giving Zechariah the vision of the two olive trees, did not therefore refer to Zerubbabel and Joshua who rebuilt the material temple, but to the two witnesses of the Apocalypse, who by their testimony until martyrdom, are trying to rebuild the true spiritual Temple of God (Revelation 11).

Who is really reconstructing God's Temple? We have the answer in Zechariah 6. Only the Messiah, the announced \textquotedblleft{}Branch\textquotedblright{}, \textquotedblleft{}he who is going to wear the royal insignia\textquotedblright{} (Zechariah 6,12-13). \textquotedblleft{}He will rebuild Yahweh's sanctuary\textquotedblright{} (Zechariah 6,12). This is the only Temple that interests our Father and that Jesus has built through the sacrifice of His Life. This Temple will be the \textquotedblleft{}measure\textquotedblright{} again, at the end of Times thanks to the martyrdom of the two witnesses (Revelation 11). It is the new selection of the elect in relation to their commitment against the Antichrist. This is how our Father \textquotedblleft{}assesses minds and hearts\textquotedblright{} today (Psalm 7,9).

Dear G., we hope to have answered your question. As you are a soul thirsty for knowledge, we advise you to read and study in detail, the Biblical course which is on the website. There you will find answers to many of your questions. And plus, you will understand in what Spirit one should read the Bible. Regarding the prophets, you can specifically read lessons 10 and 11 which will already enlighten you much, as well as the explanation of the second Book of Samuel where Nathan's prophecy about the true Temple is explained (see also regarding this 2 Samuel 7,5-7 /  
We pray for you. May our Immaculate Mother inspire you and make you discover the splendor of the New Jerusalem (Revelation 21), so that you too, will be able to sing the \textquotedblleft{}New Hymn\textquotedblright{} to God (Revelation 14,3).

\section{Jesus}

\subsection{According to the Qur'an, claiming that Jesus is the Son of God is blasphemy?}
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent You sustain that Jesus is the Son of God. Now, according to the Qur’an this is blasphemy: “And yet they say: ‘The All-Merciful has taken to Himself a son!’ You have uttered a thing most terrible! The heavens will nigh convulse at the mention of it, the earth is split asunder…” (Qur’an XIX; Mary,88-92)\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

The Qur'anic verse reported here: \textquotedblleft{}And yet they say: 'The All-Merciful has taken to Himself a son!' You have uttered a thing most terrible! The heavens will nigh convulse at the mention of it, the earth is split asunder etc...\textquotedblright{}, one should note that the expression: \textquotedblleft{}The All-Merciful has taken to Himself a son\textquotedblright{} dœs not appear in the Bible nor in the Qur'an dœs it concern Christ. It is a pagan expression which fits the pagan mentality of the Arabian Peninsula. Who dœs this verse concern? Who are those who said: \textquotedblleft{}The All-Merciful has taken to Himself a son\textquotedblright{}?

Christians have never said, nor do they ever say: \textquotedblleft{}God has taken to Himself a son\textquotedblright{}. This Qur'anic verse dœs not therefore accuse the Christians, it is clearly aimed at the polytheist idolaters of Mecca who confounded Jesus with their idols.

The explanation of this verse of the Qur'an XIX; Mary 88-92 is found in chapter 2 of \textquotedblleft{}Look of Faith at the Qur'an\textquotedblright{}, under the title \textquotedblleft{}The Messiah and His Title of Son of God\textquotedblright{}. Read mainly from the paragraph that begins: \textquotedblleft{}How to understand what the Qur'an reveals in the following Surah on the unity of God: 'Say, He is God, Unique...'\textquotedblright{} (Qur'an CXII; True Devotion,1-4)

Verses 88-92 of the Surah \textquotedblleft{}Mary\textquotedblright{}, like verses 1-4 of the Surah \textquotedblleft{}True Devotion\textquotedblright{}, refer to the pagans of Mecca concerning the mythological gods and their \textbf{imaginary sons}; these verses are not aimed at Christians regarding the Messiah. Read the rest of the text indicated.

So the verses 88-92 of the Surah \textquotedblleft{}Mary\textquotedblright{} is not aimed at Christians, but at the (polytheist) idolaters of Mecca, since God chose Mary TO HAVE A SON FROM HER, who \textbf{has no Father but the One God}.

This is also the testimony inspired by God in the Gospels. Moreover, the Qur'an comes as a \textbf{confirmation} of the Gospels (Qur'an IV; Women,47). Any Qur'anic interpretation which dœs not confirm the Gospels and the Torah invalidates the Qur'an, and would indeed be reason to put an end to God's patience and \textquotedbl{}the heavens will nigh convulse, the earth -because of this fallacious interpretation- is split asunder...\textquotedbl{} as the Qur'an expresses in the verse you quote.

Some believe that God \textquotedbl{}has taken to Himself a son\textquotedbl{} by adopting Jesus \textbf{after His birth}, as He did with the prophets after their births. Yet this is not the case and provokes the wrath of God after all He has patiently explained in His Divine Revelation concerning the birth of His Messiah, whether in the Bible or in the Qur'an. Here is why the \textquotedblleft{}heavens nigh convulse\textquotedblright{} because of the incomprehension of some with an obtuse mentality, unable to grasp the divine intention. For God in the Qur'an, \textbf{clearly} revealed that He created the Body of Jesus \textquotedblleft{}with His Word put into Mary's womb\textquotedblright{} (Qur'an III; The Family of Imran,45). He did not do so with \textbf{any} other prophet but Jesus. Why? Because Jesus, He alone, is the Word of God, His only Son through Mary who remained a virgin. So, \textquotedblleft{}The Lord of Mercy has not taken to Himself a son\textquotedblright{} by mating physically with a partner, as the polytheists understood, who deserve God's wrath (see Qur'an VI; Cattle,101).

Jesus has no other Mother but Mary, nor another Father but God. The One who has God as Father is of God, the Son. We must be logical, not fanatical, or closed to divine intention if we do not want to deserve the just wrath of the Divine Judge.

Let us say who is the Mother of Jesus.
Let us say who is the Father of Jesus... according to the Qur'an of course.
Let us say whom Jesus is the Son of, who are both his parents, always according to the Qur'an.
Understand who can!

God's just anger cracks the heavens open and comes down upon those who refuse to grasp the divine intention and insist on making the Qur'an a contradiction to the Gospels.

\subsection{Why do you say that Jesus is God?}
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent Why do you say that Jesus is God?\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

It is Divine Revelation, not us, that affirms that Jesus is God Incarnate. We firmly believe in it. See our text: \href{/en/the-divinity-of-jesus/}{\textquotedbl{}The Divinity of Jesus\textquotedbl{}}.

A letter written by a correspondent to the website and our answer.

\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent Hello,
Your site is very interesting, and I congratulate you for your attempt to unite Muslims, Christians and Jews towards the only religion accepted by God, which does not require clergy and which is El-Islam, ie Submission. I was enlightened by the Book of Revelation thanks to your website, a book I knew very little of, and I am beginning to believe more and more in the fact that the Beast is Israel. All seems to be in concordance; besides, I myself have seen passages from the Qur’an going in the same direction.

That said, a problem arises before my eyes in your belief in the fact that Jesus is God, or God incarnate, and that Pierre II (Peter II) has seen Jesus attesting to him that he was Son of God! Whereas God himself says that we must not associate to Him a Son! Should I believe in what God revealed, or in a probable optical illusion, or satanic?

Am I facing some people who idealize the created instead of the Creator, Jesus and not God, like the Sunnis do with Muhammed and like others do with their idols?

Peter.\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

Dear Correspondent,

We understand your \textquotedblleft{}reticence\textquotedblright{} and the \textquotedblleft{}problem that arises in YOUR eyes\textquotedblright{}, but not to ours.

We rightly speak therein of \textquotedbl{}what God has revealed\textquotedbl{}, what to which we all \textquotedblleft{}submit\textquotedblright{}, what the Holy Qur'an came to confirm. \textquotedblleft{}Probable optical or satanic illusion\textquotedblright{}, or rather, an apparent total blindness from those who turn their backs on the evidence revealed, and their attachment to their own opinion and human philosophy. This is not our concern: We bear witness.

Our testimony bothers many people. We are not here to please, nor to be diplomatic and to yield to compromises... but often to bother and... irritate the disbelievers. You \textquotedbl{}do not know who you are facing\textquotedbl{}. It is obvious!!!

\section{The Qur'an}

\subsection{Why don't you become Muslims?}
A reader writes us:
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent 1. If I understood well, you accept the Qur’an as a message from God, and you recognize Mohammad as a prophet, why don’t you simply become Muslims?
2. Now you say in page 223 \textquotedbl{}God wanted His Qur’anic Revelation to be an open door and a passage to the Bible\textquotedbl{}. This rather gives me the impression that you invite Muslims to convert to Christianity or did I misunderstand?
3. Or then, your tentative approach to the Bible/Qur’an reconciliation appears more as a clever scheme to justify Christianity and its dogmas, besides, what you do is not thrown into question, quite the contrary confirmed even by the Qur’an! So you find yourselves therefore, in the role of manipulators.
4. Or then, there is a third alternative that I have not understood and in that case, I would be really very grateful if you could explain it to me.\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

Dear S.,

Our mission is to testify the unity of the Biblical-Qur'anic message to the hearts of good will and good faith, issued from all rites and confessions, with no fanaticism or bigotry.
We invite not only Muslims, but Jews too, Christians and others to know the Holy Scriptures. God actually puts us on guard:
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent \textquotedbl{}Among people is one who argues about God, without knowledge, without guidance, without a Luminous Book.\textquotedbl{} (Qur’an XXII; The Pilgrimage,8).

\textquotedbl{}All Scripture is inspired by God and can profitably be used for teaching, for refuting error, for guiding people’s lives and teaching them to be holy. This is how the person who is dedicated to God becomes fully equipped and ready for any good work.\textquotedbl{} (2 Timothy 3,16-17)\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

It is the Scriptures which not only justify the dogmas, to reuse your expression, but more  even to certify them.

Any person who reads the Bible and the Qur'an with objectivity, without prejudices, will hold count of the parity of the two messages and the two Inspirations, and will grow in wisdom and insight. (We recommend you read, or re-read and deepen yourself in the text \href{/en/a-look-of-faith-at-the-quran/}{\textquotedbl{}A Look of Faith at the Qur’an\textquotedbl{}} on the website).

The Qur'an itself attests that there is one door to the Bible: 
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent \textquotedbl{}Say, ‘O People of the Book (\textit{the Bible}), you follow no religion unless you practice the Torah and the Gospel…\textquotedbl{} (Qur’an V; The Table,68)

\textquotedbl{}Time was when you knew not what the Book (\textit{the Bible}) was, nor faith, but We brought it forth as a light by which We guide whomever We will of Our servants.\textquotedbl{} (Qur’an XLII; Deliberation,52)\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

You ask us why we don't become Muslims? 

Because by believing in the Qur'anic and in the Biblical revelation, we are already so:
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent \textquotedbl{}O believers, believe in God and His Messenger, and in the Book He revealed to His Messenger, and the Book He revealed before. Whoso disbelieves in God, His angels, His Books, His messengers, and in the Last Day has strayed far in error.\textquotedbl{} (Qur’an IV; Women,136-137)\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

This is the reason why the Qur'an certifies that we will receive a double reward: 
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent \textquotedbl{}They to whom We brought the Book (\textit{the Bible}), and who believed in it before (\textit{before the Qur’an}) this present Revelation. And when it is recited to them, they say, ‘We believe in it. It is the truth (\textit{which comes}) from our Lord. We had indeed been Muslims before it.’ These shall be paid their wages twice…\textquotedbl{} (Qur’an XXVIII; The Narrative,51-53)\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

And we Christians too, as we recognize that Jesus is the one and only Messiah as the Bible and Qur'an attest (see for example Matthew 16,13-20 / John 1,45 / Qur'an III; The House of Imran,45 / Qur'an IV; Women,171, etc...)

Yet we are above all, and happily, independent believers. Let fanatics of all shades, label us as they like!

As far as we are concerned, we feel concerned by the call of God, of the Messiah, of the Prophets, of Mohammad, and the Virgin Mary. We answer them in exposing the teachings and prophecies of the Bible, the Qur'an and the Hadiths, particularly those concerning the end of times, which are being fulfilled before our eyes today.

The third alternative you spoke of, is thus to rise up in spirit to grasp God's Intention. It is to go beyond the letter to elevate oneself to the Spirit. It is an effort that Jews, Christians and Muslims should do. 
Today, it is about going beyond cults, rites and religions, and to unite in the worship of God in \textquotedblleft{}spirit and truth\textquotedblright{} (John 4,24).
Such is God's Plan.

The apparition of the Antichrist, the State of Israel, announced by Jesus and Mohammad will accelerate this salutatory process for all.

All is on the website for people thirsty of truth. 
It is up to each person to judge in their soul and conscience.

\subsection{The 5 Pillars of Islam}
The same reader responds:
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent I am very glad and I thank you for your reply. Actually I think I have better grasped your position, which is absolutely original, sincere and motivated by the desire of elevation, which I cannot but praise!
Therefore, I have well understood your words: “It is today about going beyond cults, rites and religions and to unite in the worship of God in spirit and truth”.
Nevertheless, and in my personal case, a purely spiritual way is not enough; otherwise what would be the importance of the practices recommended by the scriptures? You justify the dogmas by the scriptures, that applies therefore as well to the practices. You cannot say \textquotedbl{}we are already Muslims\textquotedbl{} and wait for a double reward without applying the 5 pillars (prayers, fasting, alms, etc…) If not, it is not fair compared to those who believe in the oneness and in all messages and who in addition exert themselves for the prayers from 3:30 AM to 9:16 PM, for the 30 days of fasting, etc… Or one is Muslim just in the heart and… well it is too easy this way! I think God expects from us more than the Spirit, otherwise He would have not made us of flesh.
So I agree completely with you about the oneness of the message and of the believers, but I disagree about the practices.
However, I love your statute of independent believers. I love the alternative movements (I am that too, not in the practices, as you may have understood, but in my soul). As far as it fits you, you are happy and that makes you grow and raise yourselves I say Amen. God guides whom He wants, the way He wants. Let us believe altogether, raise us, and yuppie! One day God will tell us why he divided us.
I wish you a very beautiful and happy spiritual way as well. May we meet one day in this life or in the other one.
Anyway, bravo again for you work!

Yours Sincerely\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

Dear S.,

We have appreciated your sincere reply.
You are an independent believer in the soul. This pleases us.

And in understanding us better, you will realize that we are very close.
Practice is for us too, equally essential.

Excerpt from \url{http://islamfrance.free/pilier.html}

God transmitted us the five pillars of Islam through his prophet Mohammad, Peace and Blessings be upon him, as Ibn 'Uma reports (excerpt from Sahih Al-Bukhari -Volume 1, Book 2, Number 7-): God's prophet said:
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent \textquotedbl{}Islam is based on these five principles:
– To testify that none other but God can be worshipped, and that Mohammad is God’s prophet,
– To effect the obligatory prayer
– To fast during the month of Ramadan
– To pay the obligatory Zakat (alms)
– To effect the Hajj (Pilgrimage to Mecca)\textquotedbl{}\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

We testify to the first point: none other but God can be worshipped, and Mohammad is God's prophet.

\textbf{Prayer:} 
Daily prayers raise the soul to God and help us to enter in communion with Him. These prayers are an impulse of the soul toward God. When you love someone, you do not fix the hours to declare him your love. You do it when that comes to you spontaneously and at any time.
With time and experience, prayer becomes a permanent state. It is to this stage that we should all aspire to by God's Grace. All our life has become a prayer, by God's Grace. 
We therefore, no longer need to respect hours or formulas, or an orientation of the body towards a holy site. That could have been important at the time of the prophet Muhammad, when there was the need to raise up spiritually people who were used to a very structured worship of idols.
It is therefore a pedagogy, as explained in \href{/en/a-look-of-faith-at-the-quran/}{\textquotedbl{}A Look of Faith at the Qur’an\textquotedbl{}} (Chapter 3.3, \textquotedbl{}The divine pedagogy in the Inspiration\textquotedbl{}).
God is everywhere and He wants to be worshipped in \textquotedbl{}spirit and truth\textquotedbl{}.
Here are some messages from God to Pierre2 (See FAQ \textquotedbl{}Can you tell us how you pray?\textquotedbl{}):
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent 15/12/1995: \textquotedbl{}The best prayer, is to enter into the plan of God\textquotedbl{}
17/03/1997: \textquotedbl{}Know how to talk to God and how to hear him. Many, apart from the formulas of prayers prepared by others, do not know how to speak to God. So few know how to listen to him.\textquotedbl{}
11/29/1989: Praying is an art; it is not given to all to know how to pray. We often confuse fervor and contention, prayer and worship. To pray with fervor does not mean to be tense during prayer. We should reach to pray with fervor, without contention, without wrinkles. Pray ardently, but relaxed, a cheerful face. Prayer is a symphony that should be played calmly, quietly, like flowing water, like a clear stream that goes straight in its path. Prayer is an art and you should know how to pray. It is why the apostles asked Jesus: \textquotedbl{}Lord, teach us to pray\textquotedbl{} (Luke 11,1).
I want you great. Contention must be converted into tenderness. Contention is the devil. The more tender we are, the better we pray. Our Father resists not to tenderness.
The \textquotedbl{}good thief\textquotedbl{} touched Christ with a look of tenderness on the cross: \textquotedbl{}Jesus, remember me\textquotedbl{}, he said with watery eyes of love and regret for his faults, \textquotedbl{}when you come into your kingdom\textquotedbl{} (Luke 23,42). The heart of Christ wavered on the spot: \textquotedbl{}Indeed, I promise you, today you will be with me in paradise.\textquotedbl{} (Luke 23,43)\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

\textbf{The fast:} 
The fast desired by God is well explained in \href{/en/a-look-of-faith-at-the-quran/}{\textquotedbl{}A Look of Faith at the Qur’an\textquotedbl{}} (chapter 3.2, \textquotedbl{}The search for the spiritual meaning of the text\textquotedbl{}).

\textbf{Alms:} 
We are for almsgiving and practice it in being attentive to each one's needs, according to what God inspires us.
Prophet Mohammad and Jesus supported almsgiving.

\textbf{The Pilgrimage to Mecca:} 
The most beautiful Pilgrimage is where we encounter God in us. He is waiting for us there. That dœs not prevent those who desire so, from making the Pilgrimage to Mecca or elsewhere. 

In all these practices, it is thus fundamental to move from the letter to the Spirit, as the Qur'an and the Gospels encourage us. We do not annul these practices; we give them all their spiritual valor by going to the essential desired by God and attested by the Qur'an and the Holy Scriptures:
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent \textquotedbl{}Among people is one who worships God - on condition. If good befalls him, he grows content with it. But if an ordeal befalls him, he turns his face about, losing this world and the next. This is the most manifest bereavement.\textquotedbl{} (Qur’an XXII; The Pilgrimage,11)\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

We find the same warning in the Gospels in a different style:
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent \textquotedbl{}He (God) is the one who has given us the qualifications to be the administrators of this New Covenant, which is not a covenant written letters but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.\textquotedbl{} (2 Corinthians 3,6)\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

We pray for you dear S... Continue to read our website. It will help you better understand and to deepen the Holy Scriptures and the Qur'an to grasp God's Intention.
And plus, let us orientate our prayers together against Al Massih al Dajjal, the Antichrist, and the Beast of the Revelation installed in Palestine (see \href{/en/the-antichrist-in-islam/}{\textquotedbl{}The Antichrist in Islam\textquotedbl{}}, \href{/en/the-key-of-the-apocalypse-revelation/}{\textquotedbl{}The Key of the Apocalypse\textquotedbl{}} and \href{/en/the-apocalypse-according-to-muhammad/}{\textquotedbl{}The Apocalypse according to Mohammad\textquotedbl{}})
It is in this blessed fight that God is waiting for us.

May God illuminate your life and sustain you in everything.

\subsection{Questions concerning the Qur'an}
A correspondent asks us the following questions:
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent 1) What is your explanation on the verse which says that Issa (Jesus) prophesied that a prophet by the name of Ahmad will come after him (Qur’an LXI; The Battle-Line,6)?
2) What do you think of the \textquotedbl{}discussion\textquotedbl{} of the prophet Muhammad who says that \textquotedbl{}upon his return the Messiah will break the cross and will kill the swine?!\textquotedbl{} So if he breaks the cross, believing in Redemption is worthless!
3) Why do you reject pilgrimage? Do you believe that it was Abraham who built the holy Kaaba? And do you believe that Muhammad comes from the lineage of Ishmael, son of Abraham?\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

\begin{enumerate}
\item This prophet announced by Issa (Jesus) not only indicates the prophet Muhammad, but the Mahdi announced by Muhammad too, this Mahdi who must denounce the Antichrist (Al Massih al Dajjal). This Dajjal has already been denounced by the man who received from God the great Mission of revealing the identity of the Beast of the Revelation (\textquotedblleft{}Wahhsh Sifr al Ro'ya\textquotedblright{}: Israel) supported by a 2nd Beast: the USA.\textquotedblright{} Read the text \textquotedblleft{}Al Massih al Dajjal fil Islam (\href{/en/the-antichrist-in-islam/}{\textquotedbl{}The Antichrist in Islam\textquotedbl{}}). Allahou Akbar!!
\item First, this recounted discussion is true! 
Second, the fact that the cross will break on the Messiah's return, is to say that he will not be crucified a second time, but will break those who crucified him.
This is why the belief in Redemption is Eternal!
\item We are neither people of the Bible nor people of the Qur'an!
We are of the Spirit of the Bible and the Spirit of the Qur'an and of their intention, and of those to whom God has given wisdom.
Please address your questions to your people.

\subsection{The veil in Islam}
Here are the key verses in the Qur'an on the veil:
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent Qur’an XXIV; Light,30-31: \textquotedbl{}… Tell believing women to avert their eyes, and safeguard their private parts, and not to expose their attractions except what (ordinarily) is visible. And let them wrap their shawls around their breast lines, and reveal their attractions only before their husbands…\textquotedbl{}

Qur’an XXXIII; The Confederate Troops,53,55,59: \textquotedbl{}If you ask his (the Prophet) wives for some favor, do so from behind a screen (a veil); this is more chaste for both your hearts and theirs… No blame attaches to the Prophet’s wives if they unveil before their fathers, their sons, their brothers… O Prophet, tell your wives, your daughters, and women believers to wrap their outer garments closely around them, for this makes it more likely that they will be recognized and not be harassed…\textquotedbl{}

Qur’an XXXIII; The Confederate Troops,32-33: \textquotedbl{}O wives of the Prophet… Remain in your homes, and do not display your adornments, as was the case with the earlier age of Barbarism…\textquotedbl{}\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

Nowhere is it written that a woman should veil her head. As it is well explained in this \href{/en/the-veil-in-the-islam-what-the-quran-says/}{article}, women, before Mohammed, were rejected by their husbands, had no more income and became slaves. The walked along the streets with uncovered breasts as women of some African tribes still do today. It was the sign that they were slaves and could give themselves to no matter who. Thus Mohammed sets them free in saying to them: Put on a veil on your breasts. You are no longer slaves now. You are free women.

The veil in Islam: (\href{/en/the-veil-in-the-islam-what-the-quran-says/}{\textquotedbl{}What the Qur’an says (by doc Mahmoud Azab)\textquotedbl{}})

\textbf{A reader reacted to the text above and asks us:}
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent I’ve read in your site some observations of yours about Islam, it is very interesting, particularly what you say about the Islamic veil. Nevertheless, I want to specify that some Hadiths state that only after puberty, women can display their faces and hands only, what do you think?\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

Prophet Mohammed's Message when speaking of the veil in the Qur'an (word badly translated in English and which means according to the verses curtain, spiritual veil, veil of geographic distance, cloak or large robe) is double:

It frees women rejected by their husbands and/or became slaves who roamed the streets topless to attract attention. Mohammed set them free by saying to them: \textquotedbl{}cover your breasts, you are no longer slaves now\textquotedbl{}. He gives them back their dignity. It is therefore a message of deliverance (\textit{see the verses on the website FAQ - The Qur'an; 'The Veil and the internal purification' and the related article}).

He calls men and women to be decent in their attire and above all, to put on the \textquotedbl{}robe of piety\textquotedbl{}. Mohammed says: \textquotedbl{}O Children of Adam, We have sent down upon you a garment to hide your shame, and as adornment. But the garment of piety - that is best. These are some of God's revelations; perhaps they will remember.\textquotedbl{} (Qur'an VII; The Battlements,26)

By this last inspired verse, Mohammed delivers to us the profound Intention of God when He speaks elsewhere of a coat, a large robe, etc...

In the Holy Books, we should never cling to the letter. We need to meet the spiritual sense of the text and God's Intention in the light of the totality of the Biblical-Quranic Inspiration.
The Hadith that demands women to totally cover the body except for the hands and face, should be equally understood in this spiritual sense: To be decent and above all, to put on \textquotedbl{}the robe of piety\textquotedbl{}.
Besides, there is a Hadith (\textit{Sahih El Boukhari}) which mentions that women preparing for prayer washed themselves in the same pools as men at the time of Prophet Mohammed and of the Caliph Abou-Baker and for a certain period at the time of Omar Bin Al Khattab, and from this fact, the face, hair and arms were exposed at the washing.
To remain at the level of the letter, there would be contradiction between the two mentioned Hadiths.

All interpretations to the letter are rejected because
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent \textquotedbl{}For the written letters kill, but the Spirit gives life.\textquotedbl{} (2 Corinthians 3,6)

\textquotedbl{}Among people is one who worships God to the letter… they turn their face about, losing this world and the next. This is the most manifest bereavement!\textquotedbl{} (Qur’an XXII; The Pilgrimage,11)\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

As always, Jesus and Mohammed are in agreement.

All things considered, the veil is that of the heart. The religious attire is that of the spirit. It is the heart and thoughts that should be purified. It is why Mohammed often addressed himself to both men and women, in saying:
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent \textquotedbl{}Tell believing men to avert their eyes, and safeguard their private parts; this is more decent for them, and God is All-Experienced with what they do. Tell believing women to avert their eyes, and safeguard their private parts, and not to expose their attractions except what (ordinarily) is visible. And let them wrap their shawls (\textit{means a large robe}) around their breast lines…\textquotedbl{} (Qur’an XXIV; Light,30-31)\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

Men and women are called to chastity and to the purity of the heart.

Here is the spiritual sense of the texts on the veil. What has been said in the text on our website \href{/en/a-look-of-faith-at-the-quran/}{\textquotedbl{}A Look of Faith at the Qur’an\textquotedbl{}}, Chapter 3.2; \textquotedbl{}The search for the spiritual meaning of the text\textquotedbl{}, applies to circumcision, fasting, sacrifices, pilgrimage, as well as the veil. They are \textquotedbl{}allegoric\textquotedbl{} symbols which evoke spiritual realities (see Qur'an III; The House of Imran,7). To reread carefully this text and in depth.

We say to our Muslim sisters who port the veil with so much love what St. Paul said to the Galatians regarding Moses' law (all the prescriptions to follow):
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent \textquotedbl{}It is so that you remain free that Mohammed has liberated you.\textquotedbl{}\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

Paul says:
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent \textquotedbl{}When Christ freed us, he meant us to remain free. Stand firm, therefore, and do submit again to the yoke of slavery. It is I, Paul, who tell you this: if you allow yourselves to be circumcised, Christ will be of no benefit to you at all. With all solemnity I repeat my warning: Everyone who accepts circumcision is obliged to keep the whole Law. But if you do look to the Law to make you justified, then you have separated yourselves from Christ, and have fallen from grace. Christians are told by the Spirit to look to faith for those rewards that righteousness hopes for, since in Christ Jesus whether you are circumcised or not makes no difference—what matters is faith that makes its power felt through love.\textquotedbl{} (Galatians 5,1-6)\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

This text applies in the same way to the veil as well as all narrow religious prescriptions.

\subsection{The Veil and internal purification}
As an in-depth analysis on the subject of the veil (\textit{see FAQ - The Qur'an; \textquotedbl{}The veil in Islam'}), here moreover are some Biblical-Qur'anic verses that support the spiritual interpretation of the veil and any other religious prescriptions. So to well understand this text, we advise to first read the texts in-depth on the website \href{/en/a-look-of-faith-at-the-quran/}{\textquotedbl{}A Look of Faith at the Qur’an\textquotedbl{}}, \href{/en/the-key-of-the-apocalypse-revelation/}{\textquotedbl{}The Key of the Apocalypse\textquotedbl{}}, and \href{/en/worship-and-place-of-worship/}{\textquotedbl{}Worship and Place of Worship\textquotedbl{}}:

\subsubsection{To purify the interior}
By the following verse, Mohammed teaches us that the effort of purification must be internal:
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent \textquotedbl{}Whether you reveal what lies in your souls or whether you conceal it, God will hold you to account, forgiving whomever He wills and punishing whomever He wills. God is Omnipotent.\textquotedbl{} (Qur’an II; The Cow,284)\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

It is therefore the interior that matters. It is for what is hidden in us that will be judged.

And Jesus had said to the Pharisees in the same sense:
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent \textquotedbl{}Alas for you, scribes and Pharisee, you hypocrites! You clean the outside of cup and dish and leave the inside full of extortion and intemperance. Blind Pharisee! Clean the inside cup and dish first so that it and the outside are both clean!\textquotedbl{} (Matthew 23,25-26)\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

It is through the interior that we are purified. The exterior is secondary. Jesus insists on this point in saying:
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent \textquotedbl{}Listen and understand. What goes into the mouth does not make anyone unclean; it is what comes out of the mouth that makes someone unclean… But whatever comes out of the mouth comes from the heart… For from the heart come evil intentions… adultery, fornication… These are things that make a person unclean. But eating with unwashed hands does not make anyone unclean.\textquotedbl{} (Matthew 15,10-20)\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

Such are the limpid and liberating words of the \textquotedbl{}Word from God\textquotedbl{} (Qur'an III; The House of Imran,40).

To reach the purification of the heart, we should not port a veil or any particular external clothes, but to open oneself to God's grace. Mohammed says:
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent \textquotedbl{}O believers, follow not in the footsteps of Satan. Whoso follows in Satan’s footsteps, let him know that Satan commands obscenity and immorality. Were it not for God’s favor upon and His mercy, none of you would ever have been guided aright. It is God, rather, Who grants guidance to whom He pleases. And God is All-Hearing, Omniscient.\textquotedbl{} (Qur’an XXIV; Light,21)\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

It is in collaborating with grace that we attain the state of purity. All is mercy.

It is in this sense that Mohammed asks us to put on the \textquotedbl{}robe of piety\textquotedbl{} (Qur'an VII; The Battlements,25). It is the only clothing that pleases God. And Mohammed explains to us what piety is. It is a spiritual, internal dimension, and not of gestures, acts or external clothing:
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent \textquotedbl{}Virtue does not demand of you to turn your faces Eastwards or Westwards. Virtue rather is: he who believes in God, the Last Day, the angels, the Book and the prophets; who dispenses money, though dear, to kinsfolk, orphans, the needy,  the traveller, beggars, and for transom; who performs the prayer and pays the alms; who fulfill their contracts when they contract; who are steadfast in hardship, calamity and danger; these are the true believers. These are truly pious.\textquotedbl{} (Qur’an II; The Cow,177)\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

Piety therefore, consists of doing good by love for God.

This is the robe we should wear to win our Father's Blessing. The Apocalypse emphasizes this fact by saying of the victors in white linen of the great trial: \textquotedbl{}The fine linen is made of the good deeds of the saints.\textquotedbl{} (Revelation 19,8)

\subsubsection{No compulsion in religion}
The following verse of the Prophet Mohammed is a key verse, as it annuls all the prescriptions of the Law which, at the level of the Spirit, are useless constraints:
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent \textquotedbl{}… His throne encompasses the heavens and the earth; preserving them is no burden to Him. He is the Exalted, the Majestic. There is no compulsion in religion. Right guidance has been distinguished from error.\textquotedbl{} (Qur’an II; The Cow,255-256)\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

And with regards to fasting Mohammed insists:
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent \textquotedbl{}God desires ease for you, and desires not hardship.\textquotedbl{} (Qur’an II; The Cow,184)\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

Paul says about this:
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent \textquotedbl{}… If you have really died with Christ to the principles of this world, why do you still let rules dictate to you, as though you were still living in the world? ‘It is forbidden to pick up this, it is forbidden to taste that, it is forbidden to touch something else’; all these prohibitions are only concerned with things that perish by their very use—an example of human doctrines and regulations! It may be argued that true wisdom is to be found in these, with their self-imposed devotions, their self-abasement, and their severe treatment of the body; but once the flesh starts to protest, they are no use at all.\textquotedbl{} (Colossians 2,16-23)\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

In fact, all these interdictions are human inventions. Jesus denounced them citing the prophet Isaiah who already said at his time:
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent \textquotedbl{}Because this people approaches me only in words, honors me only with lip-service while its heart is far from me, and my religion, as far as it is concerned, is nothing but human commandment.\textquotedbl{} (Matthew 15,1-9 / Isaiah 29,13-14)\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

For those living of the Spirit, the legal ordinances are annulled. Paul says:
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent \textquotedbl{}The Law is quite incapable of bringing the worshippers to perfection…\textquotedbl{} (Hebrews 10,1)\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

And also:
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent \textquotedbl{}He (\textit{the Christ}) has \textbf{overridden the Law}, and cancelled every record of the debt that we had to pay; he has done away with it by nailing it to the cross…\textquotedbl{} (Colossians 2,14-15)\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

Any religious cloth as well as the veil belong to these abolished legal ordinances.

\subsubsection{To overcome the law}
If only faith, love and the purification of the heart count in the eyes of God, why were Moses and Mohammed given in the Old Testament and Qur'an a Law or a Sharia?

The answer was given to us by Paul. The Law was a pedagogy. The Jews had to be gradually prepared to the spiritual comprehension of the purification, sacrifices, cult, the Temple, attire, etc... The Jews still could not understand at Moses' time these spiritual realities. It was already an immense step to offer worship to the unique God and not the multitude of idols.
The Arabs of the Arabian Peninsula had to pass through the same evolution. It is why the Qur'an contains many verses which impose a Law similar to the Law of Moses. Here, equally, the Law should act as a pedagogue.

Paul explains well the conflict between the practice of Moses' Law with its prohibitions and narrow prescriptions, and the faith in Christ which communicates to us the Holy Spirit and liberates us:
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent \textquotedbl{}… Let me ask you one question: was it because you practiced the Law (\textit{of Moses}) that you received the Spirit, or because you believed what was preached to you? … Does God give you the Spirit so freely and work miracles among you because you practice the Law, or because you believed what was preached to you? Take Abraham for example: he put his faith in God, and this faith was considered as justifying him. Don't you see that it is those who rely on faith who are the sons of Abraham? … Before faith came, we were allowed no freedom by the Law; we were being looked after till faith was revealed. The Law was to be our \textbf{guardian} until the Christ came and we could be justified by faith. Now that that time has come we are no longer under that guardian, and you are, all of you, sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. All baptized in Christ, you have all clothed yourselves in Christ, and there are no more distinctions between Jew and Greek, slave and free, male and female, but all of you are one in Christ Jesus…\textquotedbl{} (Galatians 3,1-29)\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

The Christ therefore has redeemed us from the \textquotedbl{}curse of the law\textquotedbl{} (Galatians 3,12).

Here as well, are other verses of Paul which explain this liberation:
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent \textquotedbl{}But now the (\textit{Mosaic or all the other Law}) Law has come to an end with Christ, and everyone who has faith may be justified.\textquotedbl{} (Romans 10,4)

\textquotedbl{}… we acknowledge that what makes a man righteous is not obedience to the Law, but faith in Jesus Christ. We had to become believers in Christ Jesus no less than you had, and now we hold that faith in Christ rather than fidelity to the Law is what justifies us, and that no one can be justified by keeping the Law.\textquotedbl{} (Galatians 2,16)\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

The evolution of the Jews, starting from the worship of idols (see eg the episode of the golden cow, Exodus 32, they worshipped the golden cow as an imitation of the bull Apis that was worshipped in Egypt), in passing by the worship of the only God through material worship and Moses' Law to finally arrive with the Christ to the spiritual concept of salvation through the Faith and the deeds of love as explained by Paul. This evolution has lasted for centuries. During these centuries, many of the prophets were sent by God to explain the spiritual concept of fasting, circumcision, the Temple, etc... (see \href{/en/a-look-of-faith-at-the-quran/}{\textquotedbl{}A Look of Faith at the Qur’an\textquotedbl{}}, Chapter 3.2; \textquotedbl{}The search for the spiritual meaning of the text\textquotedbl{}).

Mohammed, on the other hand, has given the Arabs the whole revelation all at once and in a single stroke.

As explained in \textquotedbl{}A Look of Faith at the Qur'an\textquotedbl{}, Chapter 3.3; \textquotedbl{}The divine pedagogy found in the inspiration\textquotedbl{}:
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent \textquotedbl{}It was not possible to give the Arabs the plenitude of the light in a single stroke, because of their total displacement from the divine Truth. Likewise, it is impossible for the human eye, which remained in obscurity for a long time, to be opened suddenly to sunlight without being dazzled, blinded. Likewise, the divine Light should be given gradually to those who remained in the darkness for so long.\textquotedbl{}\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

It is why the Qur'an withdraws with some elements of the Law and some elements of spiritual salvation by Faith and Love.

Mohammed, taking into account the mentality at his time, has thus equally given some prescriptions in a pedagogic manner. It was valid for a certain time.

He could not with one strike, speak of the liberation by the Spirit and the purification of the heart. Nobody in his time would have understood him. It was first necessary to detach the Arabs from the worship of idols. At the same time, he opened the way to liberation through the Spirit by speaking for example \textquotedbl{}of the robe of piety\textquotedbl{}, of doing good by love of God (Qur'an II; The Cow,172), and of God's forgiveness to those who love Him:
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent \textquotedbl{}Say: ‘If you love God, follow me and God will return your love, and forgive you your sins. God is All-Forgiving, Compassionate to each.\textquotedbl{} (Qur’an III; The House of Imran,31)\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

At the same time, he reveals to them God's Justice:
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent \textquotedbl{}On that day, God shall pay them in full their just reward, and they shall know that God is the Manifest Truth.\textquotedbl{} (Qur’an XXIV; Light,25)\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

\subsubsection{The new era}
Today, with the opening of the Book of Revelation and the Revelation of the identity of the Beast of the Apocalypse which inaugurates \textquotedbl{}the new Heaven and the new Earth\textquotedbl{}, Jews, Christians and Muslims are called together to make a new step towards spiritual maturity.

With the apparition of the Beast, the announced Enemy of God, every man and woman is called to test their Love for God in committing themselves for Justice against this Beast. It is in this way that the chosen is made.

It is why the Apocalypse today, launches out this cry to all the pure hearts who have recognized the Beast of the Apocalypse: \textquotedbl{}Come up here\textquotedbl{} (Revelation 4,1).

\textquotedbl{}Come up here\textquotedbl{} to identity the Beast and to fight it, to understand the prophecies concerning the two Beasts and their imminent fall.

\textquotedbl{}Come up here\textquotedbl{} also in overcoming the ordinances, cults, rites, clothing, to reach the spiritual and internal worship by Love and Justice.

It is in devoting ourselves against the Beast that we purify ourselves internally.

It is in coming up to this level of the Spirit that we are admitted to the Wedding Feast of the Lamb (Revelation 19,9). This Feast consists of nourishing ourselves with the \textquotedbl{}Table sent down to us from Heaven\textquotedbl{} (Qur'an V; The Table,112-115), the Body and Blood of Jesus given as nourishment to all the pure hearts who have believed in the Apocalypse as revealed, and who have committed themselves against the Beast (see text \href{/en/the-bread-of-life-in-the-bible-and-the-quran/}{\textquotedbl{}The Bread of Life in the Bible and the Qur’an\textquotedbl{}})

Mohammed says:
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent \textquotedbl{}They shall be clothed in green silk and brocade, and decked out in silver bracelets, and their Lord shall give them to drink an untainted draught.\textquotedbl{} (Qur’an LXXVI; Man,21)\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

These \textquotedbl{}garments of green silk and brocade\textquotedbl{} and \textquotedbl{}bracelets of silver\textquotedbl{} are symbols of the internal richness of the chosen. The digestion of an \textquotedbl{}untainted draught\textquotedbl{} is the Communion to the Blood of Jesus poured for our purification.

Here is how we reach purity of the heart...

Mohammed reveals us:
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent \textquotedbl{}God said: ‘This is a Day when \textbf{the truthful profit from their truthfulness}. For them shall be Gardens beneath which rivers flow, dwelling therein for ever. God is well-pleased with them and they are well-pleased with Him. This is the greatest of triumphs’.\textquotedbl{} (Qur’an V; The Table,119)\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

In the Light of all the Holy Scriptures, we are all called at present, to overcome every form of worship, law, narrow prescriptions, to throw ourselves with Jesus in Return amongst us, in spiritual Worship \textquotedbl{}in spirit and truth\textquotedbl{}. \textquotedbl{}God is spirit, and those who worship must worship in spirit and truth\textquotedbl{} Jesus had said (John,4-24).

The religious prescriptions belong to the Old world which must disappear:
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent \textquotedbl{}Then I heard a loud voice call from the throne, ‘You see this city? Here God lives among men. He will make his home among them; they shall be his people, and he will be their God, his name is God-with-them. He will wipe away all tears from their eyes; there will be no more death, and no more mourning or sadness. The world of the past has gone.’ Then the One sitting on the throne spoke: ‘Now I am making the whole of creation new.\textquotedbl{} (Revelation 21,3-5)\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

\subsection{Alcohol in the Qur'an}
Many Muslims believe that God forbids all alcohol in the Qur'an. Others believe that a moderate use of alcohol is permitted.

What dœs the Divine Revelation say?

The Prophet Muhammad says in the Qur'an with regards to wine:
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent Qur’an II; The Cow,219: \textquotedbl{}They ask you about wine and gambling. Say: ‘In them both lies grave sin, though some benefit, to mankind. But their sin is more grave than their benefit’.\textquotedbl{}\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

The benefit that Muhammed is speaking of, consists of drinking wine in moderation. A glass of wine per day is good for your health.
The \textquotedbl{}great sin\textquotedbl{} lies in excess and drunkenness. Muhammed thus cautions against any excess in wine. He dœs not forbid us to touch wine, when taken in moderation, in a balanced way, otherwise he would not have spoken of the \textquotedbl{}benefits\textquotedbl{}.
Muhammed also says:
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent Qur’an IV; Women,43: \textquotedbl{}O believers, do not come near to prayer when you are drunk, until you know what you are saying; nor when sexually defiled, unless passing through, until you perform ablutions.\textquotedbl{}\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

Drunkenness is totally incompatible with prayer and spiritual life in general. Muhammed warns believers against such deformations.
Paul in his letter to the Corinthians did the same. He blames the Christians who gathered to eat and get drunk, instead of taking the Meal of Jesus:
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent \textquotedbl{}When you hold these meetings, it is not the Lord's Supper that you are eating, since when the time comes to eat, everyone is in such a hurry to start his own supper that one person goes hungry while another is getting drunk. Surely you have homes for eating and drinking in? Surely you have enough respect for the community of God not to make poor people embarrassed? What am I to say to you? Congratulate you? I cannot congratulate you on this.\textquotedbl{} (1 Corinthians 11,20-22).\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

Finally, Muhammed also says regarding wine:
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent Qur’an V; The Table,90-93: \textquotedbl{}O believers, wine and gambling, idols and divining arrows are an abhorrence, the work of Satan. So keep away from it, that you may prevail. Satan only desires to arouse discord and hatred among you with wine and gambling, and to deter you from the mention of God and from prayer. Will you desist? … Upon those who believe and do good deeds no blame shall attach in what they may taste, so long as they fear God, and believe, and do good deeds… for God loves the charitable.\textquotedbl{}\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

This text clearly shows that the important thing is not your choice of food and drink, but to believe in God and do good. Hence, the three-time repetition of what is important, and what should sustain our attention.

At the same time, Muhammed warns those who gathered at those times for the sake of drinking, gambling, worshiping idols, and the usage of divining arrows. It would have been common at the time to indulge in all these practices at the same time. Mohammed firmly condemned this practice in saying that it comes from Satan and provokes hatred.

Prohibitions are necessary in general, as long as the persons still do not have the psychological and spiritual maturity to discern the right path. It was the case of the Arabs at the time of Muhammed, who lived in the excesses of food, alcoholic drinks, gambling, and vice of all kinds.
Likewise, in the Old Testament, the Israelites, still immature in their spiritual life, were oriented by the prohibited contents in the Law of Moses. As Paul explains, the Law was a pedagogue:
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent \textquotedbl{}The Law was to be our guardian until the Christ came and we could be justified by faith. Now that that time has come we are no longer under that guardian, and you are, all of you, sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus.\textquotedbl{} (Galatians 3,24-26)\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

Here are a few texts of the Gospels that are concerned with wine, since the Qur'an was given to the Arabs to certify the Bible (see text \href{/en/a-look-of-faith-at-the-quran/}{\textquotedbl{}A Look of Faith at the Qur’an\textquotedbl{}}):

\begin{enumerate}
\item At the Wedding of Cana, Jesus, at the request of his Mother, turns water into a \textquotedbl{}good wine\textquotedbl{} (John 2,1-12). Wine is therefore not reprehensible in itself.
\item Jesus changes the chalice of wine into his Blood (Mark 14,22-25).
\item Paul affectionately says to his spiritual son Timothy, \textquotedbl{}You should give up drinking only water and have a little wine for the sake of your digestion and the frequent bouts of illness that you have.\textquotedbl{} (1 Timothy 5,23)
\end{enumerate}

In the Old Testament equally, moderation in the usage of wine is advocated:

\begin{enumerate}
\item \textquotedbl{}Do not play the valiant at your wine, for wine has been the undoing of many...Drunk at the right time and in the right amount, wine makes for a glad heart and a cheerful mind. Bitterness of soul comes of wine drunk to excess out of temper or bravado. Drunkenness excites the stupid man to a fury to his own harm. It reduces his strength while leading to blows.\textquotedbl{} (Ecclesiasticus 31,30-31)
\item \textquotedbl{}Wine is reckless, strong drink quarrelsome; unwise is he whom it seduces\textquotedbl{} (Proverb 20,1)
\item \textquotedbl{}Never relish how red it is, this wine, how sparkling in the cup, how smooth its flow. In the end its bite is like a serpent's, its sting as sharp as an adder's. Your eyes will see strange things, distorted words will come from your heart...\textquotedbl{} (Proverb 23,31-35)
\end{enumerate}

In summary, wine is not bad in itself. It is the excess which is a condemnable sin. However, the limit is not always easy to discern. We must remain vigilant. Alcohol is an abyss that aspires many souls.
Alcohol taken regularly in large quantities, under the pretext of relaxation after a day's work, often destroys communication in families and is the cause of much frustration. It is here where moderation should start too. The limit is sometimes very subtle. Bad habits are quickly taken. That each person analyze himself before God.

Paul says:
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent \textquotedbl{}Let your good sense be obvious to everybody. The Lord is near\textquotedbl{}. (Philippians 4,5)\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

So the Bible and the Qur'an are adjoined in condemning the excesses of wine. Balance and moderation in all things are indispensable in developing a rich spiritual life of the Word of God and His Holy Presence.

Paul sums up in saying:
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent \textquotedbl{}Do not drug yourselves with wine; this is simply dissipation; be filled with the Spirit\textquotedbl{} (Ephesians 5,18).\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

\section{Mary}

\subsection{Why is it said that Mary is the Immaculate Conception?}
The Virgin Mary appeared in Lourdes, to Bernadette Soubirou, in 1858. When she asked her name, the Virgin replied: \textquotedbl{}I am the \textbf{Immaculate Conception}\textquotedbl{}. This Truth is thus a revelation from Heaven Itself. It was and remains sustained with miracles.

Many people misunderstand the real significance of this fact. They believe that Immaculate Conception means that Mary gave birth to Jesus while being a virgin, having not known a man sexually: \textquotedblleft{}She was found to be with child through the Holy Spirit\textquotedblright{} (Matthew 1,18). And, Mary would have had no stain even in having marital relationships with Joseph, her lawful husband. Moreover, it is indeed about the \textbf{conception of Jesus} in Mary's womb, not about the person of Mary.

Now, Mary is an Immaculate Conception in \textbf{her very person}, from the moment of her conception in Anna's womb, her mother. She is immaculate, ie without having been tainted by the wound or stain of Adam and Eve, a stain inherited by all men.

Adam and Eve were each an \textquotedblleft{}immaculate conception\textquotedblright{} before having been seduced by the enemy of Humanity. Yet they fell, inspired by Satan (Genesis 3). Through them, the stain is passed down as an inheritance to all mankind. God promised that the woman will avenge herself and crush the serpent's head (Genesis 3,15).

It is through Mary, the Mother of the Messiah, the Word of God, that God will operate this vengeance. The Divine Word had to incarnate Himself to save the people who believed in Him. He could not incarnate in a womb perturbed by the consequences of original sin. The female receptacle of the Word of God had to be spared solely for the Glory of God. This receptacle was Mary. She was not Immaculate for her own glory, but in function of the Divine Plan.

And so, Mary \textbf{alone} is the Immaculate Conception by God's intervention to fulfill the Plan of the Holy Father. She is Immaculate because the Messiah could not be conceived in a \textquotedblleft{}troubled room\textquotedblright{}. So this is why the Virgin was preserved from this stain, not for herself, but in function of the Divine Plan. She never ceased to respect this Plan, to be in perfect harmony with the Father's Will, without ever defying God like the first parents of mankind did. She was and always remains Immaculate.

The Qur'an bears witness very explicitly on the Immaculate Conception of Mary as well as that of Jesus. In the following verse, Imran's wife, ie Mary's mother (Mary's parents are the Family of Imran) says:
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent \textquotedbl{}‘My Lord, I pledge to You what is in my womb. It shall be dedicated to Your service. Accept this from me for it is You - You who are All-Hearing, All-Knowing.’ When she gave birth to a female, she said: ‘My Lord, I have given birth and it is a female’ - and God knew best what she had given birth to - ‘and a male is not like a female. I have called her Mary. I seek refuge in You for her and her progeny (\textit{Jesus}) from Satan, ever deserving to be stoned’.\textquotedbl{} (Qur’an III; The Family of Imran,35-36)\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

God heard the prayer of Mary's mother and granted her wish: Mary and Jesus alone, were protected from the devil, as Mohammed reports in his \textquotedblleft{}Noble Discussions\textquotedblright{} (see the Qur'anic interpretation of \textquotedblleft{}Jalalein\textquotedblright{} concerning the above verses): \textquotedblleft{}No man is born without the devil reaching him from birth, and screams because of this satanic attack (\textit{the stain of original sin}), \textbf{with the exception of Mary and her Son}\textquotedbl{}.
(See the texts \href{/en/a-look-of-faith-at-the-quran/}{\textquotedbl{}A Look of Faith at the Qur’an\textquotedbl{}} and \href{/en/the-brothers-of-jesus/}{\textquotedbl{}The Brothers of Jesus\textquotedbl{}}).

Therefore, after Adam and Eve, Mary \textbf{alone} -and Jesus Christ of course- is of \textbf{Immaculate Conception}.

\subsection{So did Mary remain Virgin?}
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent What do you think of Jesus’ brothers: James, Jude, Joset, Simon mentioned in the Gospels (Mark 6,3)? So did Mary remain virgin?\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

See our text: \href{/en/the-brothers-of-jesus/}{\textquotedbl{}The Brothers of Jesus\textquotedbl{}}

\subsection{Question on the Wedding of Cana}
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent During the wedding of Cana (John 2,1-12), Jesus answered Mary: \textquotedbl{}What is there between you and me, woman?\textquotedbl{} What do you think of this cold response?\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

This translation is made by certain fanatics who are against Mary. The real translation from Greek is: \textquotedblleft{}What dœs (this) matter to you and me, woman?\textquotedblright{}, an oriental expression still used vigorously today in the East and which means: \textquotedblleft{}What can this do for you and me?\textquotedblright{} ie that this dœs not concern us, it is not our affair, it is not my marriage, it is not for us to look after what is missing, \textquotedblleft{}woman\textquotedblright{}. Until today, a husband says this expression \textquotedblleft{}woman\textquotedblright{} to his wife in a teasing or affectionate or angry tone. How do you see Jesus saying this to Mary? To the One who gave birth to him? To Whom He gave as Mother to John when He was on the cross: \textquotedblleft{}Woman, this is your son\textquotedblright{} (John 19,26).

Would He speak disrespectfully as some claim? How would Jesus address Himself to the one who is \textquotedblleft{}full of grace\textquotedblright{}? (Luke 1,27) To \textbf{THE} Woman, par excellence, who was his Mother? Let us not forget that Jesus, the model son, was \textquotedblleft{}subject\textquotedblright{} to his parents as Luke emphasized in his Gospel (Luke 2,51). It is up to each one of us to respond in conscience according to whether this conscience is pure or contaminated by hatred and fanaticism or jealousy. Mary is this Woman, prophetically announced, whose lineage crushes the serpent's head in Genesis 3,15. She is the glorious Woman of the Apocalypse crowned with the sun (Revelation 12), giving birth to a new spiritual generation, victorious over the devil.

Indeed, the Greek text says: \textquotedbl{}TI (\textit{what}) emy (\textit{for me}) ké (\textit{and}) si (\textit{you}), yinai (\textit{woman})?\textquotedbl{} The Gospels were written in Greek (except Matthew, in Aramaic). And those who wrongly translate in ill intention commit an \textbf{unforgivable} crime.

The evidence of Jesus' respect for his Mother is that He generously granted her request and turned water into wine, thus upsetting the divine plan by fulfilling this miracle despite the fact that \textquotedblleft{}his hour had not yet come\textquotedblright{}. She tenderly dared to put him before a fait accompli, saying to the servants: \textquotedblleft{}Do whatever He tells you\textquotedblright{}. (John 2,4-5)

\subsection{The Almighty Intercession of Mary?}
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent How do we get to know Mary and her almighty intercession?\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

To know Mary's grandeur, we must experience it through confident and affectionate prayer.

\begin{enumerate}
\item The Gospels: Luke 1,26-38: \textquotedbl{}... the angel said to her, '... \textbf{full} of grace etc...'\textquotedbl{}
Am I, are you \textbf{full} of grace? Me, l am not.
Luke 1,39-56: \textquotedbl{}... all generations will call me blessed...\textquotedbl{}
John 2,1-12: Through her intercession, She got Jesus to change the divine plan. After answering her: \textquotedblleft{}My time has not yet come\textquotedblright{}, Jesus conceded and turned the water into wine (sign of the Eucharist).
\item The Qur'an: several verses: Qur'an III,35-36 / Qur'an III,42 / Qur'an IV,155 and the Sura of Mary, Qur'an XIX.
\item Centuries-old tradition. Ask priests and read books on it. It is difficult to explain everything.
\item Text on the website: \href{/en/the-brothers-of-jesus/}{\textquotedbl{}The Brothers of Jesus\textquotedbl{}}. Important
\item Mary's apparitions: in Lourdes She said: \textquotedblleft{}I am the Immaculate Conception\textquotedblright{}. Each person is free to believe it or not. Me, I am not immaculate. Are you?
Her apparitions in La Salette and Fatima. (See our text: \href{/en/the-explanation-of-marys-message-in-la-salette/}{\textquotedbl{}Explanation of Mary’s Message at La Salette\textquotedbl{}})
\item The surest source and most \textbf{revealing of hearts}, is that of the heart and the intuition of each person. It is here in particular, that the first gush of each person's heart is revealing.
\end{enumerate}

The Protestants deny Mary's intercession because \textquotedblleft{}there is only one mediator between God and mankind... Christ Jesus\textquotedblright{} (1 Timothy 2,5).
All intercession and mediation pass through Jesus and in Him. Otherwise, we should not be praying for one another. Now, St Paul also asks us to intercede for all believers and for himself (Ephesians 6,18-19).
Conclusion: To each his intuition; follow yours at your own risk and peril, or for your greatest joy, like me.
See our texts: \href{/en/the-intercession-of-the-saints-in-the-bible/}{\textquotedbl{}The Intercession of the Saints in the Bible\textquotedbl{}} / Chapter III in the text \href{/en/a-look-of-faith-at-the-quran/}{\textquotedbl{}A Look of faith at the Qur’an\textquotedbl{}}.

\subsection{Medjugorje}
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent You say you do not believe in the Apparitions of Medjugorje. Yet we know people who have been to Medjugorje and who have changed their lives. What do you think?\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

We refer the reader to FAQ - The independent believers; 'How to act? What dœs Pierre2 mean?', where the Medjugorje apparitions are discussed.

All \textquotedblleft{}seers\textquotedblright{} in the world will be judged by their attitude vis-à-vis the \textquotedblleft{}small open Book\textquotedblright{} of Revelation (Revelation 10,2), with its Key Message revealed to Pierre2: \textquotedblleft{}The Beast is Israel\textquotedblright{}.

This Message reveals the hearts. It is the measure \textquotedblleft{}to measure God's Temple\textquotedblright{} (Revelation 11,1), ie to recognize true believers.

Our Mother dœs not contradict Herself.

The banalities reported by the Medjugorje \textquotedblleft{}messages\textquotedblright{} are opposite to the serious and current messages given by our Mother in La Salette, Fatima and Marienfried concerning the times we live in. God dœs not send Mary to speak to the world to recount such nonsense.

The Messages of La Salette, Fatima and Marienfried were a preparation for the Revelation of the Mystery of the Apocalypse. These three Messages from our Mother and St John's Apocalypse have one and the same Spirit.

In La Salette, the Holy Virgin had denounced the treason of the clergy, qualifying them as \textquotedbl{}cesspools of impurity\textquotedbl{}, and reveals that \textquotedbl{}Rome (\textit{the Vatican}) will lose the faith and become the seat of the Antichrist\textquotedbl{}.

On the contrary, the Medjugorje messages speak of submission to the church and to the Pope, who nevertheless betrayed the Message of Jesus by associating themselves with the Antichrist and by refusing to denounce it.

Here are some extracts from the Medjugorje messages, compared to the Messages of La Salette and Fatima.

That each person judges for himself according to the luminous and liberating words of Jesus:

\textquotedblleft{}Why not judge for yourselves what is right?\textquotedblright{} (Luke 12,57)

And Sister Lucy of Fatima who was in contact with the Virgin Mary, who had fathomed the scale of the Church's treason says (Letter of 22 May 1958 to reverend Father Agostino Fuentes):

\textquotedblleft{}However, Father, we must tell people not to expect from the Pope a call to penance, to prayer, neither from the part of bishops, nor from the priests, nor from the superiors in general. It is time that each person, by their own initiative, accomplishes holy deeds and reforms their life according to the Madonna's request!\textquotedblright{}

Those who have been to Medjugorje and have changed their lives have been touched by a grace from the Virgin Mary, because they went there with love and devotion. The place has nothing to do with it. Pilgrimages and graces are internal. They are not external, linked to a specific place (see John 4,21-24).

\subsubsection{Examples of messages}
We invite you to compare the spirit of the following messages:

\textbf{Medjugorje}, message of 25 June 2010: \textquotedbl{}Dear children with joy, \textbf{I invite you to live my messages joyfully}; only this way, little children, you could be close to my Son. And me, I want to lead you all to Him only, and in Him you will find the real peace and the joy of your hearts. I bless you all and I love you with a measureless love. Thank you for answering my call.\textquotedbl{}

\textbf{La Salette: \textquotedblleft{}God will strike in an unprecedented way}. Wœ to the inhabitants of the earth! God will exhaust His wrath upon them, and no one will be able to escape so many afflictions together. At the first blow of his thundering sword, the mountains and all Nature will tremble in terror, for the chaos and crimes of men have pierced the vault of Heaven.\textquotedblright{}

\textbf{Fatima}: \textquotedblleft{}The third time, she told me that having exhausted other means, despised by men, she gives us, \textbf{while trembling}, the last means of salvation: which is the Blessed Virgin in person \textbf{signs of tears} and messages from various seers throughout the world. The Madonna says that if we do not listen and still offend, we will no longer be forgiven.\textquotedblright{}

\begin{center}- - -\end{center}

\textbf{Medjugorje}, message of 2 September 2011: \textquotedbl{}Dear children with all my heart and soul filled with faith and love for the Heavenly Father, I have given you my Son, and I give Him to you again. To you, people from all over the world, my Son taught to know the only true God and His love. He has led you to the way of truth, and He has made you brothers and sisters. That is the reason why, my children, do not wander, do not close your hearts before this truth, this hope and this love. Everything surrounding you is ephemeral, and everything crumbles, God's Glory only remains. For this reason, renounce everything that keeps you away from the Lord. Do adore Him, Him only, as He is the only true God. I am with you and I will be at your side. \textbf{I particularly pray for the shepherds, so that they would be worthy representatives of my Son, and they would lead you with love along the way to truth}. I thank you.\textquotedbl{}

\textbf{Medjugorje}, message of 2 October 2011: : \textquotedblleft{}Dear children! Today again, my maternal heart invites you to prayers, to a personal relationship with God the Father, for the joy of the prayer in Him. God the Father is not far from you and He is not unknown to you. He was shown to you by my Son, and He has given you life, that is my Son. This is the reason why, my children, do not surrender to the temptations separating you from God the Father. Do pray! Do not try to create families and societies without Him. Pray! Pray so that your hearts overflow with goodness; the latter comes only from my Son, Who is true goodness. The hearts only filled with goodness would understand and welcome God the Father. I will keep on guiding you. \textbf{In a particular way, I pray that you not judge your shepherds. My children, did you not forget that it was God the Father who called them?!} Pray! I thank you.\textquotedbl{}

\textbf{La Salette: \textquotedbl{}The priests, ministers of my Son, the priests, by their wicked lives, by their irreverence and their impiety in the celebration of the holy mysteries, by their love of money, their love of honors and pleasures, the priests have become cesspools of impurity}. Yes, the priests are asking vengeance, and vengeance is hanging over their heads. Wœ to priests and those dedicated to God who by their unfaithfulness and their wicked lives are crucifying my Son again! The sins of those dedicated to God cry out towards Heaven and call for vengeance, \textbf{and now vengeance is at their door}, for there is no one left to beg mercy and forgiveness for the people. There are no more generous souls, there is no one left worthy of offering a stainless sacrifice for the sake of the world [...] \textbf{The chiefs, the leaders of the people of God have neglected prayer and penance, and the Devil has bedimmed their intelligence} (\textit{They're not capable of identifying the Antichrist}). They have become wandering stars which the old devil will drag along with his tail to make them perish (Revelation 12,4) [...] \textbf{Wœ to the Princes of the Church who think only of piling riches upon riches to protect their authority and dominate with pride}.\textquotedbl{}

\textbf{Fatima}: \textquotedblleft{}Order no longer rules anywhere. \textbf{Even at the highest positions, it is Satan who governs and decides the course of events. He will even know how to penetrate to reach the pinnacle of the Church}.\textquotedbl{}

\section{Prayer}

\subsection{How do you address God in your prayers?}
I send you these recommendations from our Beloved Elder Brother concerning His-our Father. You know that we address Him as Lord, Adonaï, Dieu, Allah, God etc... Now, Jesus recommends that we address Him as: \textquotedblleft{}Father\textquotedblright{}.
Matthew mentioned that Jesus asked us to pray like this: \textquotedblleft{}Our Father in Heaven etc...\textquotedblright{} (Matthew 6,7 etc...)

Now Luke tells us that Jesus prescribed to pray to Him thus: \textquotedblleft{}Father, may your Name be held holy...\textquotedblright{} (Luke 11,1 etc...) Luke is more intimate, because when we talk to a father we do not say \textquotedblleft{}our Father\textquotedblright{} to him, but \textquotedblleft{}Father\textquotedblright{}, or simply \textquotedblleft{}Dad\textquotedblright{}. Luke brings us even closer to the Father by not mentioning \textquotedblleft{}who is in Heaven\textquotedblright{}, because this tender Father is in us, not far away in Heaven.

How do we know if we are sanctifying God's Name? Those who sanctify this Name, call Him \textquotedblleft{}Father\textquotedblright{}, or even \textquotedblleft{}Dad and tender Father\textquotedblright{}. This is how we should address Him. Otherwise, we are not inspired by the Spirit of this Blessed Father. For it is inspired by the Blessed Spirit of this Holy Father that our hearts cry out to Him: \textquotedblleft{}Abba, Father\textquotedblright{}. Paul said: \textquotedblleft{}The proof that you are sons is that God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts: the Spirit that cries, 'Abba, Father'\textquotedblright{} (Galatians 4,6). Otherwise we are not sons, nor inspired by the Spirit of the Father.

And Paul again said inspired by the Father's Spirit: \textquotedblleft{}The Spirit you received is not the Spirit of slaves bringing fear into your lives again; it is the Spirit of sons, and it makes us cry out, 'Abba, Father!' The Spirit himself and our spirit bear united witness that we are children of God!\textquotedblright{} (Romans 8,15-16) Let us realize then, that by saying \textquotedblleft{}Abba, Father\textquotedblright{}, it is the Spirit of this Blessed Father that gives us life.

The Apostles were unaware of this marvelous gift, being at that point, such true children of this tender Father, not worshiping slaves. When the Apostles asked Jesus to show them the Father, He answered them: \textquotedblleft{}Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father...\textquotedblright{} (John 14,7-11) Jesus did not present himself as a despot. He embodied the Father's tender love to the extreme, up to giving himself on the cross. This is how He revealed the Father's true Name. Whœver has seen and understood this, sees the Father, our Father.

For Jesus, and Him alone, could reveal the Father's true face: \textquotedblleft{}No one knows who the Son is except the Father, and who the Father is except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him\textquotedblright{} (Luke 10,22). He was kind enough to reveal him to us, so small in the eyes of the world: \textquotedblleft{}I bless you, Father, Lord of heaven and of earth, for hiding these things from the learned and the clever and revealing them to mere children. Yes, Father, for that is what it pleased you to do\textquotedblright{} (Luke 10,21).

Jesus not only gave us an Eternal Father, all loving and tender, but also a Mother equally tender and loving: Mary. By saying to this tender Mother to adopt John as a son, and for him to welcome her as Mother, it is to all his people that Jesus addresses these words and confides to them His Mother, who also becomes our sweet and tender Mom (John 19,26-27).

Let us be attentive then, to this Holy-Spirit who adopts us and cries out in us: \textquotedblleft{}Abba, Father\textquotedblright{} and \textquotedblleft{}Beloved Mother.\textquotedblright{} 
And let us be comforted in these Apocalyptic times when the Woman cries out in the pangs of childbirth... our new birth as sons (Revelation 12).

Whoso refuses Mary as Mother dœs not have God as Father...

\subsection{The Rosary}
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent What do you think of the Rosary?\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

The Rosary is the most beautiful prayer to the Virgin Mary.

In each of her apparitions in Fatima, our Mother insisted in saying:

\begin{enumerate}
\item 13 June 1917: \textquotedbl{}I want... you to pray the Rosary everyday\textquotedbl{}.
\item 19 August 1917: \textquotedbl{}I want... you to continue to recite the Rosary everyday\textquotedbl{}.
\item 13 October 1917: \textquotedbl{}That we continue to recite always, the Rosary everyday\textquotedbl{}.
\end{enumerate}

And Lucy, the seer of Fatima, wrote to reverend Father Agostino Fuentes (22 May 1958):
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent \textquotedbl{}Since the Blessed Virgin gave great efficacy to the Holy Rosary, there is no material, spiritual, national or international problem that she cannot solve with the Holy Rosary and with our sacrifices.\textquotedbl{}\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

\textbf{Why is the Rosary this important?}

The Hail Mary flows directly from the words of the Angel Gabriel and Elizabeth addressed to our Mother under the action of the Holy Spirit (Luke 1,28 / Luke 1,42).

Mary said to Saint Gertrude (in the 13th century):
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent “Never has man done something more beautiful than the Hail Mary. No one can greet me in a sweeter way to my heart than with these words full of respect, by which God the Father greeted me Himself.”\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

The Hail Mary reminds our Mother of the most beautiful moment of her life. It is the moment where her \textquotedblleft{}spirit exults in God her Savior; because He has looked upon His lowly handmaid.\textquotedblright{} (Luke 1,47-48) It is the moment of the incarnation of the Eternal Word to give us Life again. \textquotedblleft{}The Word was made flesh, He lived among us\textquotedblright{} (John 1,14).

To remind our Mother of this blessed moment is to enter with her in deep communion with the whole Plan of Salvation of our Father.

Now, Mary's mission is to form Jesus in us. It is by the repetition of the Hail Mary, that Mary forms Jesus in us.

Message of Jesus to Pierre2 (20.02.1982):
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent “Tell them that the Rosary is like the repeated blows of a sculptor’s chisel, sculpting the true face of Christ in us, his true features, his true radiance, his own gaze.”\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

\textbf{The Power of the Rosary}

The Rosary is a shield against the forces of evil.

The devil cannot support the Rosary, because he cannot bear our Mother. The devil's greatest defeat is that he has never been able to touch this pure and Immaculate Woman. The Immaculate Conception always listened to God's Voice and never lent her ear to his voice. It is why, delighting our Mother, irritates him a lot. Every Hail Mary is a hammer's blow on his head, and the repetition of this stroke of the hammer forces him to go away.
Thus the Rosary is a powerful exorcism. In the worst moments of our lives, it is the Rosary that gives us the strength to get out of them. The Rosary is also the only effective remedy against depression.

Padre Pio called his Rosary \textquotedblleft{}his weapon\textquotedblright{}.

Through the Rosary, we change the face of the earth. It is our Mother who crushed the head of the infernal serpent, and will crush it again in the near future in the total Triumph of our Father on earth (Revelation 12). By praying the Rosary, we accelerate this Triumph.

\textbf{Why the repetition?}

The Rosary is a repetition of noble and positive thoughts towards our Mother, which obstructs the torrent of negative thoughts that assail us during the day.

It is through the repetition of the Hail Mary as a mantra that our mind calms down, appeases itself, amasses and arrives, after some time, to enter into deep communication with the infinitely serene spirit of our Mother.

The repetition is part of the cycle of life. In spiritual life, repetition calms the mind to liberate the spirit.
Through the Rosary, we connect ourselves to Eternity.

Sister Lucy of Fatima said:
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent \textquotedbl{}The repetition of the Hail Mary, the Lord’s Prayers, and the Gloria Patri, is the chain which lifts us up to God and binds us to Him, giving us a participation in His divine life, just like the repetition of the mouthfuls of bread which we feed on that nurture in us natural life, and we do not call such a thing obsolete! This disorientation is diabolical! Do not let yourselves be deceived.” (Letter of Sister Lucy of the 29th of December 1969, to one of her three nephew priests)\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

(\textit{In the beginning of the '80s, at one point, Pierre2 had a lot of difficulties. Our Father told him that it was because he had neglected the Rosary during this time}).

\textbf{How to pray the Rosary?}

\begin{enumerate}
\item The Credo
\item The \textquotedbl{}Lord's Prayer\textquotedbl{}
\item Three prayers to \textquotedbl{}Mater Admirabilis\textquotedbl{}
\item Thanks and Praises
\item The \textquotedblleft{}Lord's Prayer\textquotedblright{}, then 11 Hail Marys, followed by \textquotedblleft{}Thanks and Praises\textquotedblright{} (repeat three times).
\end{enumerate}

See the prayers below.

In solidarity with Muslims, we pray with the 33 bead Rosary (the Catholic Rosary consists of 5 of the Lord's Prayer, and 5 tens of the Hail Mary). It is for each person to choose the Rosary that suits him. There are no obligations. By praying the Rosary, we meditate on the life of Jesus and the mysteries of the Apocalypse. We pray against the Antichrist and for the triumph of the elect.

\textbf{Annex: Exhortations to the daily Rosary from Our Lady of the Rosary in Fatima}

13 May 1917: \textquotedblleft{}Recite the Rosary every day, in order to obtain peace for the world and the end of the war\textquotedblright{}.

13 June 1917: \textquotedblleft{}I want... that you say the Rosary everyday\textquotedblright{}.

13 July 1917: \textquotedblleft{}I want... that you continue to recite the Rosary everyday in honor of Our Lady of the Rosary to obtain peace for the world and the end of the war, because she alone can help you\textquotedblright{}.

19 August 1917: \textquotedblleft{}I want... that you continue to recite the Rosary everyday\textquotedblright{}.

13 September 1917: \textquotedblleft{}Continue to recite the Rosary, so to obtain the end of the war\textquotedblright{}.

Commentary of Sister Lucy of Fatima on these words of Our Lady:
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent \textquotedbl{}The Message asks us to persevere in prayer, that is, to continue to pray for the end of the war. It is true that at that time, the Message spoke of the World War that plagued humanity then. But this war is also the symbol of many other wars that surround us and which we need to see the end of, through our prayer and our sacrifice. I think of the wars which make us the enemies of our eternal salvation: the devil, the world, and our own physical nature.” (Calls from the Message of Fatima, 1st French Edition of July 2003, chapter XVI: Call to perseverance in goodness, page 157)\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

13 October 1917: \textquotedbl{}May we always continue to recite the Rosary everyday.\textquotedbl{}
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent \textquotedbl{}Let us recite the Rosary everyday. Our Lady has repeated this in all her apparitions, as if to protect us against these times of diabolical disorientation, so that we do not allow ourselves to be deceived by false doctrines and that, by means of prayer, the elevation of our soul towards God will not diminish” (Letter from Sister Lucy, 12 April 1970, to Maria Teresa of Cunha, one of her friends zealously committed in the defense of Marian devotion)\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent \textquotedbl{}I see from your letter that you are concerned by the disorientation of our time. It is sad indeed that so many people let themselves be dominated by the diabolical wave that sweeps the world, and that they are so blind to the point of being unable of seeing the error! Their main fault is that they have abandoned prayer; they have thus distanced themselves from God, and without God, all is lacking: ‘Without Me, you can do nothing'” […]
“The devil is very cunning and searches for our weak points in order to attack us. If we are not careful and attentive to obtain strength from God, we will fall, because our times are really wicked and we are weak. Only God’s strength can keep us upright.\textquotedbl{} (Letter from Sister Lucy, of 13 April 1971, to Father José Valinho Salesian, one of her three nephew priests)\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent \textquotedbl{}[…] What some disoriented people have spread against the recital of the Rosary is false. The light of the sun is older than the recital of the Rosary, and they do not want to stop benefiting from its brightness; older are the psalms and they too, like the prayers that make up the Rosary, are part of the sacred liturgy.
The repetition of the Hail Mary, the Lord’s Prayer, and the Gloria Patri is the chain which lifts us up to God and binds us to Him; giving us a participation in His divine life, like the repetition of the mouthfuls of bread on which we feed nurtures in us natural life, and we do not call that an obsolete thing!
This disorientation is diabolic! Do not let yourselves be deceived.\textquotedbl{} (Letter from Sister Lucy, of the 29th of December 1969, to one of his three nephew priests)\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

\subsection{Can you tell us how you pray?}
To pray, is to talk to our Father and above all, to listen to His voice in our hearts.
It is to put oneself in a state of inner listening.
It is to hear the Voice of our Father in order to fulfill His Will.

\textbf{Messages to Pierre2}

12/15/1995: \textquotedblleft{}The best prayer is to enter into the plan of God\textquotedblright{}.

17/03/1997: \textquotedblleft{}Know how to speak to God and know how to listen to him. Many, apart from the prayer formulas prepared by others, do not know how to speak to God. So few know how to listen to Him.\textquotedblright{}

11/29/1989: Praying is an art, it is not for everyone to know how to pray. Fervor and contention are often confused with prayer and worship. To pray fervently dœs not mean being tense in prayer. We must come to pray with fervor, without restraint, without wrinkles. Pray ardently but in relaxation, a cheerful face. Prayer is a symphony that must be played calmly, peacefully, like flowing water, like a limpid stream running straight in its path. Prayer is an art and you have to know how to pray; this is why the apostles asked Jesus: \textquotedblleft{}Lord, teach us to pray\textquotedblright{} (Luke 11,1)

I want you tall. Restraint must be converted into tenderness. Contention is from the devil.

The more tender we are, the better we pray. Our Father resists not tenderness. (Doris)

The \textquotedblleft{}good thief\textquotedblright{} touched Christ with a look of tenderness on the cross: \textquotedblleft{}Jesus,\textquotedblright{} he said to him with weeping eyes of love and regret for his faults, \textquotedblleft{}remember me when you come into your kingdom.\textquotedblright{} (Luke 23,42) The heart of Christ wavered on the spot: \textquotedblleft{}Indeed I promise you, today you will be with me in paradise.\textquotedblright{} (Luke 23,43)

\textbf{The Prayers}

We propose here some prayers that we recite regularly. Of course, each is free to choose the prayers that correspond to their state of mind.

\textbf{OUR CREDO}

I believe in God, our Good Father, Creator of heaven and earth.
I believe that Jesus is the Son of God, His incarnation and the Messiah sent by the Father for the remission of sins of those who believe in Him.
He was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Immaculate Virgin Mary, was delivered by Caiaphas and the Sanhedrin to Pontius Pilate,
He suffered for us, was flagellated, crucified, put to death and was buried,
He visited the abode of the dead and on the third day rose again from the dead as He had foretold.
He appeared to His Apostles, ascended into Heaven, before returning in the end times to restore all.
I believe that Jesus has already returned, opens the Book of Revelation through his special Envoy, the Angel of the Apocalypse, unmasked the Antichrist, the Beast of the Apocalypse, and inaugurates the New Heaven and the New Earth.
He manifests Himself again to those who wait for Him to give them Salvation.
I believe in the Holy Spirit given by Jesus to His intimates, in the personal presence of Christ in the Bread of Life through His Body and His Blood, in the compassionate intercession of the Virgin Mary, Coredemptrix and Medatrix of all graces, in her Immaculate Conception, in her apparitions in Lourdes, La Salette and Fatima, in the Universal Restoration and in the spiritual temple open to all men of good faith.
I believe that Mohammed is prophet of God.
I believe in the intercession and in the communion of the Saints, in the solidarity of the believers, in the forgiveness of sins, in the resurrection of the body, and in Eternal Life already established in us. Amen.

\textbf{OUR FATHER (The Lord's Prayer)} 
Our Father, who art in us
hallowed be thy name;
Thy kingdom come;
Thy Will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
For thine is the Kingdom and the Power and the Glory, for ever and ever. Amen

(\textit{This prayer has been simplified by Pierre2, because after years of commitment, our Father no longer wants us to pray to him \textquotedblleft{}Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses...\textquotedblright{} Because, as a Good Dad, He gives us the daily bread and He forgives us our trespasses. No need to ask Him all the time}.)

\textit{For those who may want to guard the old prayer:
... Thy will be done on earth as in heaven. 
Give us this day our daily bread 
And forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us
Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
For Thine Alone belong the Kingdom, the Power and Glory 
For ever and ever. Amen.}

\textbf{HAIL MARY} 
Hail Mary, full of grace, Our Father is with thee
Blessed art thou amongst all women and Jesus, your Blessed Son is the Messiah.
Holy Mary, Mother of God and our Beloved Mother, pray for us, your children, now and at the blessed hour of our departure. Amen

(\textit{The second part of the Hail Mary was added by the Church: 
Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death. Amen. 
Pierre2 modified it to free us from the culpability of \textquotedblleft{}poor sinners\textquotedblright{}, and give us a spirit of openness and filial love towards our Mother}).

\textbf{PRAYER TO \textquotedbl{}MATER ADMIRABILIS}\textquotedbl{}
A prayer to \textquotedbl{}Mater Admirabilis\textquotedbl{} (Admirable Mother) was composed in French, on October 20 1945, by the young \textquotedbl{}Doris Toutounji\textquotedbl{}, born June 24, 1930. She was suddenly picked up by Heaven on December 10, 1945, forty days after having composed this beautiful prayer inspired by the Holy Spirit. The Apostles of the Apocalypse love to recite this prayer and to please their \textquotedbl{}Admirable Mother\textquotedbl{} by offering it to her every day. They recognize themselves in the \textquotedbl{}small legion\textquotedbl{} of her children who \textquotedbl{}glorify her under this title\textquotedbl{} (Mary's Message at Marienfried). Note that Mary's apparition at Marienfried began in April 1946, four months after Doris' \textquotedbl{}death\textquotedbl{} to join this Admirable Mother to whom she had dedicated this prayer with love.

\textquotedblleft{}Hail Mary, full of grace, brilliant light who reflects the Holy Trinity. Your name, O Mary, is a widespread balm, and, for us, sinners, an aid always awaited. 
The Lord is with you, as you, Oh Mary, are with us, to enlighten, guide and console your children, poor pilgrims who walk in the Valley of tears, their eyes fixed upon You, their sweet star.
Blessed are You amongst women, because the Lord has chosen You to be the Mother of the Word Incarnate, without ever allowing sin to tarnish your ravishing whiteness. 
Jesus, the Fruit of your womb is blessed, because through You has been given to us, the Unique Savior, who redeems us from death and reopens the gates of Heaven. 
Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us who combat now on earth. Be our refuge at all times, so that, at the blessed moment of our death, we may contemplate your sweet face in the splendor of Eternity. Amen.\textquotedblright{}


\textbf{THANKS AND PRAISES} 
Thank you, dear Father for answering our prayers 
For our triumph through the Immaculate Heart of Mary, your bride, our admirable Mother.
Glory be to You Father Son and Holy Spirit
O God our Father who is, who was, and who is to come for ever and ever, Amen.

And you Michael, head of the heavenly army, push back into hell, by the divine force of the Immaculate Conception, Satan and all the evil men who roam the earth in order to lose the souls. Amen

\textbf{THE COMMUNION OF JESUS} 
(see the text \href{/en/jesus-restores-the-priesthood/}{\textquotedbl{}Jesus restores the priesthood\textquotedbl{}})

Contemplate. Say some prayers like the Credo, the Lord's Prayer, the Hail Mary.

We are gathered around Jesus, with all our brothers in Heaven and Earth, tenderly gathered in the Immaculate Heart of Mary our tender Mother, Joseph, Michael, Mohammed to hear Jesus say to us with Love and Fervor:
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent \textquotedbl{}Take this and eat it, this is My Body, sacrificed for you, for the remission of sins. Amen.
Drink from this, this is My Blood, the Blood of the New Covenant, poured out for you and for many for the remission of sins. Do this in remembrance of Me\textquotedbl{}.\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

Jesus, we do this in memory of You
and we all live on it, because we know that this is truly 
Your Body and Your Blood, glorified by Your Resurrection
to give us Life in us and glorify us with Your Glory from here below,
by the Holy Spirit found therein.
We do this with You daily, in our family, and announce Your Return.
Thank You my Jesus for being with us and for always guarding us with you. Amen

\textit{Take the eucharist}

Thank You, Beloved Father for this communion, to the Body and Blood, to the Soul and the Divinity of Christ. May this communion and all others, serve for our intimate union in You. We offer You Jesus Who is in us, and we offer ourselves in You, with Him and in Him, united in the Heart of Mary, with all the prayers of the martyrs persecuted by the Antichrist. Amen.

\textbf{OUR MOTHER OF THE APOCALYPSE}
Our Mother of the Apocalypse, Immaculate Mother of God and our dear Mother, protect us in the fight. Safeguard us against the malice and the pitfalls of men and demons, may God make them feel your Empire, we beseech you. And you Michael, head of the Heavenly Army, drive back into Hell by the divine force of the Immaculate Conception, Satan and all evil men who prowl the earth in order to lose the souls. Amen.

Sacred Heart of Jesus, we confide but in You.
Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for us who have recourse to you
Paternal Heart of Joseph, we count on you and all of you our brothers and sisters of heaven and of earth. Amen.

\textbf{PROMISES TO MARY} 
We promise you, Mary Immaculate, our dear Mother, you Our Lady of La Salette and of Fatima, to be witnesses in the world of your Immaculate Heart, in witnessing for Justice and Truth, as Jesus, your Son, taught us. Grant us your almighty aid in order to be faithful to our Oath. Amen.
In your hands, Mary, I commend my spirit and entrust our prayers, our mission, our struggle, our family and our eternal life. Augment in us internal life, the knowledge of God's will, assurance, strength, love, humility, intelligence, wisdom, discernment, the spirit of prophecy, equilibrium in all things and to be aware of living in your sweet company. Amen.

\textbf{LITTLE PRAYERS}
\textbf{To our Father}
Beloved Father, invest us with Your Power to fight Satan and his like.
And come renew everything by the Power of Your Spirit. Amen.

\textbf{To our Guardian Angel}
Angel of God, our Guardian
Illuminate us, guard us,
Administer and govern us,
We who have been entrusted to you by the Heavenly Mercy. Amen

\textbf{Eternal Rest (to the souls of Purgatory)}
Father, give them their Eternal Rest
And may the perpetual light glow on them,
May they rest in peace. Amen.

\textbf{AL FATIHA}
(see text below)

\textbf{PRAYERS FROM THE QUR'AN OR THE HADITHS}
\textbf{Surah 1: Al Fatiha} 
\textquotedbl{}In the name of God, the Compassionate, Most Merciful.
Praise be to God, Lord of the Worlds:
The Compassionate,
Lord of the Day of Judgement.
It is You we worship, and upon You we call for help
Guide us to the straight path,
The path of those upon whom Your grace abounds,
Not those upon whom anger falls,
Nor those who have gone astray.\textquotedbl{}

\textbf{Surah 2, verse 255, called verse of the Throne (Ayah al-koursayy)}
\textquotedbl{}God, there is no god but He, Living and Everlasting.
Neither slumber overtakes Him nor sleep.
To Him belongs what is in the heavens and what is on earth.
Who shall intercede with Him except by His leave?
He knows their present affairs and their past.
And they do not grasp of His knowledge except what He wills.
His throne encompasses the heavens and the earth, preserving them is no burden to Him.
He is Exalted, the Majestic.\textquotedbl{}

\textbf{Surah 45; Those who are kneeling,36-37}
\textquotedbl{}Praise be to God,
Lord of the heavens and earth, Lord of mankind!
To Him be exaltation in the heavens and earth!
He is Almighty, All-Wise.\textquotedbl{}

\textbf{Sura 59; The Mustering,22-24}
\textquotedbl{}He is God,
There is no god but He,
Knower of the Unseen and the Seen,
All-Merciful, the Compassionate.
He is God,
There is no god but He,
Sovereign, All-Holy, the Bringer of Peace
The All-Faithful, the All-Preserver,
The Almighty, the All-Compelling,
The All-Sublime!
Glory to Him far above what they associate with Him!
He is God,
The Creator, Originator, Giver of Forms,
To Him belong the Names most beautiful;
All on earth and in heaven magnify Him;
He is the Almighty, the All-Wise.\textquotedbl{}

\textquotedbl{}O God, help me to remind myself of You, to express my gratitude to you and to apply perfectly my adoration for You.\textquotedbl{} (Narrated by Ahmad, Abu Daoud, Nasa'i and Hakim)

\textquotedbl{}O God, You are Salvation, from You comes peace. Blessed are You, O Lord, You who holds majesty and munificence.\textquotedbl{} (Narrated by Mouslim)

\subsection{Prayer in a physical building?}
A reader insists on the usefulness of churches as buildings to pray in. He writes us:
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent In one of your responses, you tell me that the Apostles used to gather in the Temple to consult the Scriptures, as they had no texts at home. This is credible. In Acts 3,1, it is written that Peter and John went up to the Temple for the prayers at the ninth hour. What can you tell me about that?\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

The Apostles gathered at the Temple to consult the Scriptures, and above all to bear witness. Jesus did the same (Luke 22,53).

Paul witnessed at the Temple or in the Synagogue (Acts 17,2-4). The Apostles frequented the Temple everyday, and \textquotedblleft{}broke\textquotedblright{} the Bread in their homes (Acts 2,46-48).

By witnessing, the Apostles glorified Jesus and, thanks to Him, cured many people and did miracles. Therefore, many people converted (Acts chapters 3 and 4).

The Apostles did not go up to the Temple to pray, but to meet the people who were there for prayer, and announce to them of the Messiah's Advent. Therefore, to bear witness.

For the Apostles still had the teachings and example of Jesus in them:
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent \textquotedbl{}When you pray, go to your private room…\textquotedbl{} (Matthew 6,5-7)\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

When Jesus prayed, He used to retire to a private place, all alone (Matthew 14,23 / Mark 1,35)

\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent \textquotedbl{}Now it was about this time that He went into the hills to pray; and He spent the whole night in prayer to God.\textquotedbl{} (Luke 6,12)\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

And after all, what common prayer can there be, between those who recognize Jesus as Messiah and those who deny Him? What common prayer can there be today between those who witness against the Antichrist and those who accept and praise him (see the open Letter to John Paul II)?

Paul already encourages us to have a firm attitude:
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent \textquotedbl{}Do not harness yourselves in an uneven team with unbelievers. Virtue is no companion for crime. Light and darkness have nothing in common. Christ is not the ally of Beliar, nor has a believer anything to share with an unbeliever. The Temple of God has no common ground with idols, and \textbf{that is what we are—the Temple of the living God}. We have God’s words for it: I will make my home among them and live with them; I will be their God and they shall be my people. Then come away from them and keep aloof, says the Lord. Touch nothing that is unclean, and then I will welcome you and be your father, and you shall be my sons and daughters, says the Almighty Lord.\textquotedbl{} (2 Corinthians 6,14-18)\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

The Rebel today is the Antichrist, the State of Israel, and all those who associate themselves with it.
And St. John's Apocalypse launches the same appeal to all the upright and faithful hearts:
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent \textquotedbl{}‘Come out, my people, away from her (\textit{Babylon the Great}) so that you do not share in her crimes and have the same plagues to bear…’\textquotedbl{} (Revelation 18,4)\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

Babylon the Great is Jerusalem, the heart of global Zionism.
It is up to you to choose your camp with prayer and discernment.
As far as we are concerned, we place ourselves on the side of the Apostles who had said before the Jewish high priest and the whole Sanhedrin:
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent \textquotedbl{}Obedience to God comes before obedience to men.\textquotedbl{} (Acts 5,29)\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent \textquotedbl{}You must judge whether in God’s eyes it is right to listen to you and not to God. We cannot stop proclaiming what we have seen and heard.\textquotedbl{} (Acts 4,19)\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

And Paul confirms:
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent \textquotedbl{}Anyone who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to Him.\textquotedbl{} (Romans 8,9)\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

The Book of Revelation says:
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent \textquotedbl{}Anyone gifted with the Spirit may interpret the number of the Beast…\textquotedbl{} (Revelation 13,18)\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

Who then belongs to Christ today?

Let us stop living in the Church's spirit of fear.
Let us enter with worship \textquotedblleft{}in Spirit and in Truth\textquotedblright{} (John 4,24), in \textquotedblleft{}freedom and glory as the children of God.\textquotedblright{} (Romans 8,21)

\section{The Spiritual Fight}

\subsection{What do you think of the devil?}
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent What do you think of the devil? Does he really exist? Does one see him on earth?\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em} 

The devil is a real maleficent power, personified. His greatest ruse is making us believe he dœsn't exist. Divine Revelation denounces him in the Bible and in the Qur'an. The clairvoyant see him in his manifestations of evil in this world. An evil which often surpasses strictly human power. The devil needs persons to orchestrate his plans. He is made up of a big and diverse legion. Each in its specialty and category of men (power, violence, deceit, Trickery, injustice, disordered sex...) The diabolical current started before the creation of the world, in the spiritual realm known as \textquotedblleft{}Heaven\textquotedblright{}. It was triggered by the head of the Angels called Lucifer, whose name means \textquotedblleft{}Carrier of Light\textquotedblright{}, but who transformed into the carrier of darkness. Why? His power rose up to his head and intoxicated him to the point that he felt greater than his Creator, up to tempting Him to submit to him and in refusing to obey Him. He even demanded to be obeyed by Him. In his revolt and seduction, he dragged down an innumerable tally of Angels with him.

But Michael, who was Lucifer's subordinate, in turn refused to submit to this chief insubordinate to God. The revolter demanded Michael's obedience, but he in turn demanded that his chief obey the Almighty first so to obey to him in turn. To this refusal Michael exclaimed: \textquotedblleft{}Who is like EL(\textit{God})?!\textquotedbl{} In Hebrew, \textquotedbl{}\textbf{Mi} (\textit{who}) \textbf{ka} (\textit{is like}) \textbf{El} (\textit{God})\textquotedbl{}, which adds up as MIKAEL = MICHAEL in English, in French Michel, in Arabic Mikhaïl. The Book of Revelation 12,7-9 relates this ferocious battle which takes place in Heaven between Lucifer's followers and those who chose to rally behind Michael who, however, seemed (but only seemed) weaker, because of his humility, than his leader. It was the \textquotedblleft{}weak\textquotedblright{} who triumphed and the \textquotedblleft{}strong\textquotedblright{}, appearing brawny and menacing by showing off his power and biceps, who was chased down to earth with his followers. The powerful love that Michael and his people had for God, Justice and Truth, overcame the power of Lucifer.

And here is our \textquotedblleft{}Lucilu\textquotedblright{} on earth amongst us, ostensibly nowadays, after he was allowed to come out of the infernal Abyss thanks to the Star (\textit{of David}) who opened the doors of the Abyss to him (Revelation 9,1). A very powerful weapon against this enemy is to ridicule him, not to take him seriously. It is why we call him Lucilu (we are sure that he dœs not like it!)

The accursed \textquotedblleft{}star\textquotedblright{} which freed Lucilu, currently serves him as a subtle instrument by reproducing on earth the Luciferian revolt against God. It is why \textquotedblleft{}the Dragon (\textit{Lucilu}) had handed over to the Beast his own power...\textquotedblright{} (Revelation 13,2) and pushes mankind to bow down to it, because by doing so it is, in fact, before Satan that they bow down to. The response to Michael's resounding cry of \textquotedblleft{}MI KA EL\textquotedblright{} in Heaven and his people against the devil by satanic forces on earth today is: \textquotedblleft{}who is like the Beast\textquotedblright{} (MI KA ISRAEL!!!), \textquotedblleft{}Who can compare with the Beast? How can anyone defeat him!!!\textquotedblright{} (Revelation 13,4). Only those prostrate before it, \textquotedblleft{}whose names have not been written down in the Book of Life of the Sacrificial Lamb\textquotedblright{} (Revelation 13,8), but the chosen resist it: \textquotedblleft{}This is why the saints must have constancy and faith.\textquotedblright{} (Revelation 13,10) As for us, to the cry of \textquotedblleft{}MI KA ISRAEL\textquotedblright{}, we oppose with the almighty cry of \textquotedblleft{}MI KA YESHOUA (\textit{Who is like Jesus})!!!\textquotedblright{} We thus reproduce Michael's counter-revolt against Lucilu on earth.

And believe it, our holy cry, paralyzed for the moment by the deafening tumult of the world (worries, wars, social events, disorderly sex, extreme sports, drugs, etc... Luke 21,34-36), will end up stifling the voice of the Apocalyptic Beast and its allies.

Our prayers, inaudible to our human enemies, but deafening to the ears of the demons, will vanquish the demons who will end up \textquotedblleft{}in the lake of fire and sulfur, where the Beast and the false prophet are...\textquotedblright{} (Revelation 20,10)

See our text: \href{/en/the-key-of-the-apocalypse-revelation/}{\textquotedbl{}The Key of the Apocalypse\textquotedbl{}}.

\subsection{How to fight the devil?}
A reader writes to us regarding the spiritual struggle:
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent \textquotedbl{}This imbecile of a fool is always here trying to disrupt and destroy us. I am very aware of him… but I am becoming more and more capable of recognizing his game. You know of whom I am talking about… How do we fight him effectively?\textquotedbl{}\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

The best weapons to fight him are those which make us grow spiritually: Communion with Jesus taken in simplicity at home, the Rosary and absolute confidence in Mary's Immaculate Heart, reading of the Holy Scriptures, and prayer. The more we grow spiritually, the less the devil has a hold on us. In this daily struggle, we must fight and hold our ground. Little by little, we become more and more able to recognize the devil's tactics. Poor devil... he often repeats himself and with time, and with the help of our daily weapons and our tender Mother Mary, we will be able to recognize him on the spot and chase him away. His tactics revolve around the following:

\begin{enumerate}
\item To be discouraged with dark ideas about ourselves (not worthy, not capable, it is too difficult, it is not for me, I am worth nothing, etc...)
\item To be distracted when we want to pray (just at the time of prayer a thousand and one things come to mind...), giving a distaste for prayer.
\item To obsess on a negative idea which constantly comes back.
\item To delay spiritual life (when the devil can no longer have a soul, he dœs everything to delay his evolution... then he tries to make us drop the Rosary, daily Communion with Jesus, prayer, reading of the Holy Scriptures while distracting us with a thousand thoughts... You must be aware of this).
\item To prevent regular frequentation of our brothers and sisters (\textquotedbl{}For where two or three meet in my name, I shall be there with them\textquotedbl{}, Jesus had said (Matthew 18,20). It is a great force).
\item To accuse the other (a brother), to present a negative idea of the other, of what they did or said (here is where transparency between us breaks him, for to speak of what has troubled us sallows everything to be clarified; if we do not speak, a small thing becomes - by the intervention of Satan of course - a mountain...) Jesus on the contrary, as He said to His Messenger, is the One who takes our defense...
\item To be put down by people at work who attack us unjustly (You must counterattack in JUSTICE and impose yourself, try to avoid these people as much as possible for your inner PEACE; utilize the weapon of mockery. The devil and his followers cannot stand mockery...)
\item To void us internally with people and superficial activities. (You should avoid them as much as possible. Spiritual Life requires an Atmosphere... See Qur'an XIX, 61-65: \textquotedblleft{}The Gardens of Eden! They are what the All-Merciful has promised His worshipers... In it they hear no empty talk, but only 'Peace!'...\textquotedbl{}
\item To influence us by a negative dream which presents a negative image of one of our brothers or that pulls us down in one way or the other. He often uses this trick when all other means are exhausted...
\end{enumerate}

As soon as we recognize him, we must run immediately to our tender Mother Mary and ask for her aid. An IMPETUS OF LOVE AND FAITH is enough and the whole building of deceit collapses...

It is thus a daily fight. We all have the weapons to be victors: Communion with Jesus in the family, the Rosary, reading of the Holy Scriptures, and prayer.

And let us not forget to mock him! Lucilu (nickname of Lucifer...) cannot stand mockery... After all: \textquotedblleft{}Lucilu has cute butts... he should fatten them up good...\textquotedblright{} (a song dedicated to Lucilu by the Apocalyptic Messenger).

Concerning the Rosary, Lucy, the seer of Fatima, had told Father Fuentes: \textquotedblleft{}The Virgin has repeated to me that the last remedies given to the world are the Holy Rosary and devotion to Mary's Immaculate Heart. The last means that there will be no others. Since the Holy Virgin has given great efficacy to the Holy Rosary, there is no longer any material, spiritual, national or international problem that she cannot resolve with the Holy Rosary and with our sacrifices. To recite it with love and devotion will console Mary and wipe off the so many tears of her Immaculate Heart.\textquotedblright{}

As for Padre Pio, a modern saint (who passed into the other world in 1968) who carried Jesus' Stigmata, called the Rosary: \textquotedblleft{}His weapon\textquotedblright{}.

With the aforementioned weapons, the devil in the end, has no power over us.

\textquotedblleft{}Take COURAGE, I HAVE CONQUERED the world\textquotedblright{}, Jesus said (John 16,33).

The Qur'an points out: \textquotedbl{}He (\textit{the devil}) said: 'My Lord, inasmuch as You have lured me away (\textit{again, the accuser}), I shall make the earth attractive to them (mankind), and lure them all away, except for Your sincere servants among them.' God said: '... Over My servants you shall have no authority...\textquotedbl{} (Qur'an XV; 39-42). For the spiritual combat, meditate the following:

\begin{enumerate}
\item Introduction: Luke 14,28-33 and Ephesians 5,8-14. To commit oneself to Spiritual Life, it is like leaving off to war. One must arm himself and be ready to renounce everything.
\item To put on the armor of God: Truth (Knowledge), Justice, faith, zeal: Ephesians 6,10-20 / 2 Corinthians 6,7
\item Not to descend to the level of the enemy: 1 Peter 3,8 - Resist the devil through faith: 1 Peter 5,5-11 / James 4,7
\item To discern the voices or the thoughts inside us: John 8,38 / John 16,13 / Galatians 5,16-26. As Jesus recently revealed: \textquotedblleft{}Through Adam-Eve, the devil entered into the collective subconscious by dislodging God from it. Man is no longer alone with God. He has someone else who thinks inside him. Christ comes to chase off the intruder from the souls and hearts of those who listen to Him.\textquotedbl{}
\item To listen to the Word to produce fruit: Matthew 7,24 / John 15,1-3 / 1 Peter 1,22-24. The Word of God is alive. It models us, purifies us, and makes us effective for the Kingdom of our Father.
\item To employ the sword of the Word: Revelation 1,16 / Hebrews 4,12+ / Isaiah 55,10+ To have a sharp-cutting attitude vis-à-vis the unjust: Revelation 2,26 / Matthew 23,12-32 / John 2,14-17. Jesus was clear-cut with the hypocritical Pharisees. In the Temple, He did not hesitate to take out the whip and chase off the merchants. He also recommends us to be \textquotedblleft{}cunning as serpents and yet as harmless as doves (Matthew 10,16).\textquotedbl{}
\item To cultivate transparency between us (pure glass, sea of crystal): Revelation 21,18 / 15,2 / Galatians 6,2
\item To renew oneself through Knowledge: Colossians 3,9-17
\end{enumerate}

\subsection{The problem of evil}
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent \textquotedbl{}Why is there evil in the world?
Why did God, who is good, ‘create’ evil?\textquotedbl{}\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

These are questions we often hear.
To find the answers, you must make the effort to carefully reflect and employ your logic, starting, for example, by convincing yourself that God, who is good, cannot have created evil; for every tree can give but its fruit.

\textbf{Where then dœs evil come from?} 

A reflection on evil imposes itself. Evil is not an entity in itself, but a lack of goodness, an infirmity: sickness is a lack of health, blindness is a deprivation of sight, theft is a dispossession, murder is a deprivation of life, a lie is a deformed truth, injustice is a lack of justice, irregular bodily pleasures are deviations of human energy. All these infirmities stop man from evolving spiritually. With evil thus defined, it becomes clear that God cannot take joy in \textquotedblleft{}creating it\textquotedblright{}, nor takes pleasure in seeing his creations suffer. He has absolutely no interest in that. Every logical and impartial person notice this.

On the contrary, God gave meaning to creation; there is an orientation, a direction to take in life; we must not go against the flow, neither drive too fast, nor drink and drive etc... in order not to hurt oneself or others. And yet, many refuse to commit to the path traced by God and prefer to do only what is in their head. Here lies the source of evil in the world. We drive at 200 km/hr drunk, we provoke accidents and death and... it is God's fault!!!

So, it is man who introduced the bitterness of evil into his home. He dœs not stop watering this maleficent plant through egoism and his desire for power and domination. The desires of men are at the origin of fraternal wars. Man kills man his brother in order to dispossess him and submit him to his demands. And this, against the precepts of the Divine Creator. Whose fault is it then?!

It is Divine Revelation, in the \textbf{symbolic} tale of Adam and Eve's fall, which informs us of the source of evil in the world. Man and woman chose to believe the bad advice the devil inspired them, instead of trusting divine instruction to reach fullness of life. They thus introduced the diabolical thought into man's intuition. This was the first sin, the schism between God and his creation. After having introduced disequilibrium between man and God, \textquotedblleft{}Cain\textquotedblright{} continued the evil act by killing his brother \textquotedblleft{}Abel\textquotedblright{} and introduced evil between man and man his brother. The guilty part is certainly not God who had warned man.

God's Goodness manifests itself to sinners through the grace of forgiveness. This grace is symbolized by the \textquotedblleft{}tunics made of skins\textquotedblright{} that God gave to Adam and Eve to hide their shame. In fact, God holds out his hand to all men to take them out of their misery. But He cannot force the hand of man, who is free, and cannot oblige him to practice good, nor stop him from committing evil by force. Neither can God compel man to seize divine grace, to take advantage of divine help to save himself. He holds out his Hand. It is up to us to grab it.

God solicits; He proposes. He never imposes Himself.

In the same way, man cannot be \textbf{constrained}, neither to do good, nor to avoid committing evil. And this for two reasons:

\begin{enumerate}
\item \textbf{The Creator's Nature}: God is not a dictator. He advises, but dœs not oblige his creation to practice good. Free Himself, He created minds and men in his image: free.
\item \textbf{Human Nature}: Man is neither a slave, nor any animal, a dog that we tie or muzzle so that he dœs not bite. Free and dignified, he must make use of his emotional and intellectual faculties for his own interest and in the general interest. To commit evil, man must lose heart and intelligence. This is the worst of infirmities, because it is the source of all evil.
\end{enumerate}

It would be right to blame the Creator if He had, from the onset, created in infirmity. And yet, in the beginning, human creation was, in its human dimension, impeccable, but subject to evolve towards God. It was human pride that rejected any possibility of collaboration, any synchronization with the Creator's Work. Hence the imbalance and source of all evil on earth.

It is man who freely commits ill-advised actions from his Creator. He is a Father who wants no harm to men. What interest would He have in seeing his creations groan? If we rightly reflect on him, there is nothing sadistic about Him. Well to the contrary, he never stops advising us paternally, to avoid practices and attitudes which harm body and soul (drugs, illusionary pleasures, injustice, egoism, pride, etc...)

\textbf{Why did God create?}

Life, real life, conceived by the genius of the Creator, is beautiful. And He wishes for us to share it with Him. Therefore, the basis of creation is an altruistic gesture and a good act. Few bother to search in depth, to recognize their missteps that are the true cause of their misery, to overcome their harmful prejudgments. They would gain so much, if not all, by surpassing themselves. They would find themselves, freed from false conceptions by a gesture of humility and objectivity. Whoso seeks sincerely, with objectivity and detachment, without bitterness or contention, finds infallibly.

\textbf{But why create knowing well that the devil and fallen man should not enjoy life? Why create knowing that evil will come about?}

The Creator is free. Infinitely free. It was from this movement that He created, thus expressing a feeling of infinite love for those whom He called to Life. Now, if He had abstained from creating, foreseeing -among minds and man- that creatures would become evil out of jealousy or defiance, then God would not have been free. He would have been depersonalized. If de facto because of such opposition God had refrained from creating, He would have been subjected to enemies even before they existed. This is clearly illogical because the Creator is infinitely free. As man can freely do what he wants within the framework of his own nature, God can all the more, do whatever He wants according to His \textbf{infinitely free} nature. The opposition of created nature is unable to slow down the Almighty Will of the Great Architect of creation.

Angelic spirits and fallen man are free to auto-destruct. But what God created, from the onset, was perfect, each according to its own nature. Such is the teaching of the Holy Scriptures.

In Christ Jesus, God gives back His eternal Life with immense love to those who collaborate in this redemption. \textquotedblleft{}A man can have no greater love than to lay down his life for his friends\textquotedblright{}, Jesus said (John 3,16 / 15,13 / 1 John 4,9). Therefore, we must have enough humility and gratitude to accept, to reach out to seize the grace offered us for free. There are, alas, so few who wish to understand.

The sensible person will be able to recuperate, through Jesus, what the devil, through Adam, managed to take away from him.

\subsection{The Exorcism of Leo XIII}
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent \textquotedbl{}What do you think of the exorcism prayer of Pope Leo XIII? Do you believe in it?\textquotedbl{}\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

The exorcism prayer of Pope Leo XIII is the consequence of a heavenly vision and joined by its content the messages of the Virgin Mary in La Salette (France, 1846), in Fatima (Portugal, 1917), as well as the opening of the Book of Revelation by Jesus Himself on May 13, 1970 in Lebanon.

Here is an extract from the article \textquotedbl{}The terrifying vision of hell of Leo XIII\textquotedbl{}, page 11 of the journal \textquotedbl{}L'Appel du Ciel\textquotedbl{} n\degre 25 of September 2010:

\textit{\textquotedbl{}On October 13 1884, Leo XIII finished celebrating the Holy Mass in the Vatican Chapel. Then, he stood motionless for 10 minutes. Then he rushes to his office without giving any explanation to his close entourage, who saw him become deathly pale. Leo XIII immediately composes a prayer to Saint Michael the Archangel, \textbf{with instructions that it be recited everywhere} after each low Mass. This prayer continued to be recited until September 29, 1964 (Vatican Council II...), when the instruction Inter œcumenici (n\degre 48, § j.) decreed \textquotedbl{}... the Leonine prayers are abolished...\textquotedbl{}

Later, the Pope gave his testimony: \textquotedblleft{}After the Mass, I heard two voices; one kind and gentle, the other guttural and harsh. They seemed to come from near the tabernacle. It was the devil addressing the Lord, like in a dialogue. Here is what I heard:
- The guttural voice, the voice of Satan in his pride, shouting to the Lord: \textquotedblleft{}I can destroy your Church\textquotedblright{}.
- The gentle voice of the Lord: \textquotedblleft{}You can? Then go ahead and do so\textquotedblright{}.
- Satan: \textquotedblleft{}To do so, I need more time and more power\textquotedblright{}.
- Our Lord: \textquotedblleft{}How much time? How much power?\textquotedblright{}
- Satan: \textquotedblleft{}75 to 100 years, and greater power on those who will give themselves to my service\textquotedblright{}.
- Our Lord: \textquotedblleft{}You have the time, you will have the power. Do with them what you will\textquotedblright{}.

Then, I had a terrible vision of hell: I saw the earth as if wrapped in darkness and, from an abyss, I saw come out a legion of demons which were spreading over the world to destroy the works of the Church and attack the Church itself, \textbf{which I saw reduced to the end}. So, Saint Michael appeared and drove the evil spirits back into the abyss. Then I saw Saint Michael the Archangel intervene not at this moment, but much later, when people would multiply their fervent prayers to the Archangel.\textquotedbl{}}

This vision took place on October 13 1884, exactly 33 years (Christ's age) after the last apparition of the Virgin Mary in Fatima on October 13 1917. In this vision, Leo XIII foresaw the appearance of the Antichrist (the darkness spread over the earth, see Revelation 9,1-2) and his infiltration even, in the Vatican itself. The prayer says indeed: \textquotedbl{}\textbf{There where the seat of the blessed Peter and the throne of Truth was instituted, there they have erected the throne of their abomination in impiety}\textquotedbl{}. In La Salette, the Virgin Mary announced: \textquotedbl{}\textbf{Rome will lose the faith and become the seat of the Antichrist}\textquotedbl{}. This is what has happened. By the refusal of the popes to reveal the third secret of Fatima in 1960, as the Virgin Mary had expressly requested, the Vatican has definitively lost the Spirit (see the texts on the website \href{/en/the-explanation-of-marys-message-in-la-salette/}{\textquotedbl{}Explanation of Mary’s Message in La Salette\textquotedbl{}} and \href{/en/marys-message-of-fatima/}{\textquotedbl{}Explanation of Mary’s Message of Fatima\textquotedbl{}}).
It was also at this time (1964) that Rome decided to suppress this prayer of Leo XIII, just as she had already buried the Virgin Mary's messages of La Salette and of Fatima. This latter explicitly reveals the identity of the Antichrist: it is the State of Israel, which appeared in 1948 in Palestine (see the text \href{/en/the-key-of-the-apocalypse-revelation/}{\textquotedbl{}The Key of the Apocalypse\textquotedbl{}}). For fear of being accused of anti-Semitism, John XXIII, Paul VI, John Paul II, Benedict XVI and Francis I, have renounced their testimony for Jesus and have betrayed their noble mission. We think that John Paul the 1st was assassinated because he wanted to reveal it.
However and fortunately, \textbf{the true Church} is not limited to a Vatican institution, today dead and outdated (the word \textquotedbl{}church\textquotedbl{} actually comes from the Greek \textquotedbl{}ekklesia\textquotedbl{}, which means \textquotedbl{}assembly\textquotedbl{}). She is composed of today, of all those who believe in the message of the Apocalypse, and who commit themselves against the Antichrist. It is that Church against which \textquotedbl{}the gates of hell will never prevail\textquotedbl{}, as Jesus had announced (see Matthew 16,18). It is \textquotedbl{}the Church of Light\textquotedbl{} mentioned in Leo XIII's prayer (we recommend that you read profoundly the text on the website \href{/en/the-road-to-damascus/}{The \textquotedbl{}Road to Damascus\textquotedbl{}}).
Leo XIII has seen the very important role of the Archangel Michael in this End of Times, in which we are living. A large part of the Book of Revelation chapter 12 is dedicated to him.
In La Salette, the Virgin Mary had announced his intervention: \textquotedbl{}Here is the Beast with his subjects, calling himself the Savior of the world (\textit{the Zionist Messiah}). He will rise with pride into the air (\textit{Israel's military air power}) to go up till heaven. He will be smothered by the breath of the Archangel Saint Michael (\textit{1 Thessalonians 4,16}). He will fall, and the earth, which, for three days (\textit{Revelation 11,9-11}) will be in a continuous series of evolutions, will open its fiery bowels; he will be plunged for eternity, with all his followers, into the everlasting chasms of hell (\textit{Revelation 12,16 / 19,19-20 / 20,9-10}).\textquotedbl{}
The prophet Daniel, 500 years before the Christ, had also announced it: \textquotedbl{}At that time Michael will stand up, the great Prince who mounts guard over your people. That is going to be a time of great distress, unparalleled since nations first came into existence...\textquotedbl{} (Daniel 12,1-3).

We resort to the exorcism of Leo XIII in the moments most difficult, and in the strongest internal and external struggles against the powers of evil. It is a very powerful and very effective prayer. We cannot but recommend it.

Any veritable believer is capable to perform exorcism.
The following words of Jesus give us a lot of force and assurance to chase away any kind of demon. Matthew tells us in his Gospel:
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent \textquotedbl{}Jesus summoned his twelve disciples, and gave them authority over unclean spirits with power to cast them out and to cure all kinds of diseases and sickness.\textquotedbl{} (Matthew 10,1)
\textquotedbl{}And as you go, proclaim that the kingdom of Heaven is close at hand. Cure the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out devils. You received without charge, give without charge.\textquotedbl{} (Matthew 10,7-8)\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

And just before His ascension to Heaven, Jesus said to them:
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent \textquotedbl{}These are the signs that will be associated with believers: in my name they will cast out devils; they will have the gift of tongues; they will pick up snakes in their hands, and be unharmed should they drink deadly poison; they will lay their hands on the sick, who will recover.\textquotedbl{} (Mark 16,17-18)\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

This promise is made to all \textquotedbl{}who have believed\textquotedbl{}. Let us rekindle in us the Faith in Jesus' words. His words are eternal. They are for Today.
Any true believer, who lives in love and justice and accomplishes the Plan of God is capable of exorcising demons.

We reproduce below the exorcism of Leo XIII, in its original version. We have removed the sentence \textquotedbl{}by the sacred authority of our Mother the Church\textquotedbl{}. You understand why.

\subsubsection{Exorcism against Satan and the rebel angels}

\textbf{Published by the order of the Sovereign Pontiff Leo XIII}

In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen.

\textbf{Psalm 68}
Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered, let those who hate him flee before him! As smoke disperses, they disperse; as wax melts when near the fire, so the wicked perish when God approaches.

\textbf{Psalm 35}
Accuse my accusers Yahweh, attack my attackers...
Shame and dishonor on those who are out to kill me! 
Back with them! Cover with confusion those who plot my downfall!
May they be like chaff before the wind, with the angel of Yahweh to chase them!
May their way be dark and slippery, with the angel of Yahweh to hound them!
Unprovoked they spread their net for me, they dug a pit for me;
But Ruin creeps on them unawares, the net they have spread will catch them instead, and into their own trap they fall.
Then my soul will rejoice in Yahweh, exult that he has saved me.
Glory be to the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit,
As He was in the beginning, now and always, and forever and ever.
Amen.

\textbf{Prayer to Saint Michael}
Most glorious prince of the heavenly army, Saint Michael Archangel, defend us in the struggle and the fight we have to confront against the Sovereignties and the Powers who originate the darkness in this world, the spiritual army of evil \textquotedbl{}in the heavens\textquotedbl{} (Ephesians 6,12).

Come to the aid of men whom God made imperishable, \textquotedbl{}in the image of His own nature\textquotedbl{} (Wisdom 2,23), and have been bought and paid for at such \textquotedbl{}a high price\textquotedbl{} (1 Corinthians 6,20) from the tyranny exercised by the devil.

Now again, you yourself, Saint Michael and all the army of the blessed Angels, fight the Lord's fight, just as in the past, you fought against Lucifer, the coryphée of the proud, and against his apostate angels. \textquotedbl{}And behold, they could not win, and even their place was no longer found in heaven. And he was hurled down, the great dragon, the primeval serpent, known as the devil or Satan, who had deceived all the world, was hurled down to the earth and his angels were hurled down with him\textquotedbl{} (Revelation 12,8-9).

Now, here is this enemy of old, \textquotedbl{}murderer from the start\textquotedbl{} (John 8,44), has stood up vehemently \textquotedbl{}disguised as an angel of light\textquotedbl{} (2 Corinthians 11,14), having for an escort the horde of perverse spirits, in all directions he travels all over the earth, and everywhere incorporates himself there: in order to abolish the name of God and His Christ, in order to steal, to destroy and to lose in endless damnation, the souls that should be crowned with eternal glory. The maleficent dragon transfuses, in men mentally depraved and corrupted in the heart, a flood of abjection: the venom of his malice, the spirit of lies, impiety and blasphemy, the lethal breath of vice, of lust and universal iniquity. The Church, bride of the Immaculate Lamb, is now saturated with bitterness and soaked with poison, by very cunning enemies; they have worn their wicked hands on everything that she desires most sacred. \textbf{There where the seat of the blessed Peter and the throne of Truth was instituted, there they have erected the throne of their abomination in impiety; so that having struck down the shepherd, the flock may be scattered.}

O Saint Michael, invincible chief, bring yourself then now to the people of God who are fighting against the spirit of wickedness, give them victory and triumph. The Holy Church venerates you as Her Guardian and her Protector; she renders you glory as being her Defender against all the dangerous powers on earth and in Hell; to you the Lord has entrusted to conduct the souls of the redeemed in the place of supreme bliss. Pray to the God of Peace that He crushes Satan under our feet, so that he may no longer can, nor keep men captive, nor harm the Church. Offer our prayers in the presence of the Most High, so that \textquotedblleft{}the mercies of the Lord arise in us without any delay\textquotedblright{} (Psalm 79,8), and that you seize the dragon, the primeval serpent, who is the devil or Satan, and who, once in the abyss, no longer seduces the nations (Apocalypse 20,3).

So trusting in your protection and your patronage, [...] it is with all confidence that we undertake to repress, in the name of Jesus Christ, our God and Lord, the infestations of the diabolical tricks.

Here is the Cross of the Lord, flee, enemy powers.
He has vanquished, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the root of David.
May Your mercy, Lord, come over us.
According to the same measure in which we hope in You.
Lord, listen to my prayer.
And may my cry rise up to You.

\textbf{Orison}
God and Father of Our Lord Jesus Christ, we invoke Your Holy Name and we implore supplicating Your clemency so that, by the intercession of the Immaculate Virgin Mother of God, of the Archangel Saint Michael, of Saint Joseph, Spouse of Mary, of the saint Apostles Peter and Paul and of all the Saints, that You deign to lend us Your aid against Satan and all the putrid spirits that roam throughout the world so as to harm the human race and for the perdition of souls.
Amen.

\textbf{EXORCISM}
(At the \textquotedbl{}+\textquotedbl{} make the sign of the Cross)
We exorcize you, whœver you may be, malignant spirit, satanic power, horde of the infernal enemy, demonic legion, all diabolical sects and assemblies; in the Name and by the \textquotedbl{}Virtue\textquotedbl{} (Luke 8,46) of Jesus Christ + Our Lord, be eradicated and chased away from the Church of God, from souls (Matthew 12,43) created in the image of God and redeemed by the Most Precious Blood of the Divine Lamb +. From now on, you no longer dare, perfidious serpent, to deceive the human race, to persecute the Church of God, to torment God's elect and \textquotedbl{}sift them like wheat\textquotedbl{} (Luke 22,31) +. He commands you, the Most High God + to whom, in your great pride, you still claim to resemble, \textquotedbl{}He who wants everyone to be saved and reach full knowledge of the truth\textquotedbl{} (1 Timothy 2,4).

He commands you, God the Father +
He commands you, God the Son +
He commands you, God the Holy Ghost +

He commands you, Christ His Majesty, Eternal Word of God made flesh + , who, for the salvation of our race, lost due to your envy, \textquotedbl{}humbled Himself, becoming obedient unto death\textquotedbl{} (Philippians 2,8), who has built His Church on the firm \textquotedbl{}Rock\textquotedbl{} (Matthew 7,24) and promised that \textquotedbl{}the powers of hell would never prevail against Her\textquotedbl{} (Matthew 16,18), since \textquotedbl{}He will dwell with Her all the days until the end of the world\textquotedbl{} (Matthew 28,20). He commands you, the sacred Sign of the Cross + , and the inherent virtue of all the mysteries of the Christian Faith +.

She commands you, the most venerable Mother of God, the Virgin Mary + who, from the first instant of her Immaculate Conception, has, by her humility, crushed your over proud head. She commands you, the Faith of the Holy Apostles Peter and Paul and all the other Apostles +. It commands you, the blood of the Martyrs and the pious intercession of all the Saints +.

So then, accursed dragon and all diabolical legions, we adjure you by God + the Living, by God + the True, by God + the Holy, by this God who so loved the world that He handed over His only begotten Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but live the everlasting life (John 3,15). Stop deceiving human beings and feeding them the poison of eternal damnation. Stop harming the Church and shackling her liberty.

Begone Satan, inventor and master of all fallacy, enemy of the salvation of men. Cede your place to Christ in Whom you have found none of your works. Cede your place to the new Church of Light, the same one acquired at the price of His Blood. Bow down under the powerful hand of God, tremble and flee at the invocation that we make in the holy and redoubtable Name of this Jesus who makes all hell tremble, to whom the Virtues, Powers and Dominations of the Heavens submit, to whom the Cherubim and Seraphim praise unceasingly with voices saying: Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord, the God of the Armies.

O Lord, hear my prayer.
And let my cry come unto You.

\textbf{Orison}
God of heaven, God of earth, God of Angels, God of Archangels, God of Patriarchs, God of Prophets, God of Apostles, God of Martyrs, God of Confessors, God of Virgins, God who has power to give life after death, rest after work, because there is no other God but You, and that there can be no other but You, the Creator of all things visible and invisible, of Whose reign there shall be no end: we humbly beseech Your glorious Majesty to use Your power to deliver us from all tyranny of the infernal spirits, their snares, deceits, malice, and to keep us unharmed from all evil. Through Jesus Christ Our Lord. So be it.

From the snares of the devil,
Deliver us, O Lord.
That Your new Church may serve You in liberty, order and peace:
We beseech You, hear us, Lord.
That the enemies of Your Holy Church be humiliated and converted:
We beseech You, Lord, hear us.
Amen

\section{Biblical Themes}

\subsection{What is it to have the Holy Spirit?}

\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent What is it to have the Holy Spirit? And how do we know we have it?\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

To have the Holy Spirit is to be in harmony with the mind of God, to think like Him (1 Corinthians 2,16 / 7,40 and Hebrews 10,16).

We know that we have the Holy Spirit when our judgment is in conformity with prophecy. They announced the Messiah's Advent and had revealed the main characters. Jesus fulfills all these prophecies. Those who have the Holy Spirit recognize the Messiah in Him: \textquotedblleft{}I want you to understand that on the one hand no one can be speaking under the influence of the Holy Spirit and say, 'Curse Jesus', and on the other hand, no one can say, 'Jesus is Lord', unless he is under the influence of the Holy Spirit.\textquotedblright{} (1 Corinthians 12,3)

Today, the Antichrist having appeared, those who recognize him have the Holy Spirit, declares the Apocalypse: \textquotedbl{}There is need for shrewdness (\textit{discernment}) here: if anyone is \textbf{clever enough} he may interpret (\textit{recognize}) the number of the Beast...\textquotedbl{} (Revelation 13,18). Recognizing the Beast equates to a new spiritual baptism dispensing the former baptism in water, as it had exempted circumcision by recognition of the Messianism of Jesus.

It is incumbent upon us to understand the spiritual dimension of the events unfolding before our eyes. What would Jesus think and say in seeing all this? Would He speak like the Pope? Would He distort the messages of La Salette and Fatima? Would He say \textquotedblleft{}God bless Israel\textquotedblright{}? What would Jesus say about the ecclesiastical pedophilia, the marriage of priests? etc...

Not to believe in God's existence, that Jesus is the Messiah, that the prophets are sent by God, not to believe in the Biblical and Qur'anic prophecies, in good and evil, etc... that, is not having the Holy Spirit. See our text: \href{/en/the-key-of-the-apocalypse-revelation/}{\textquotedbl{}The Key of the Apocalypse\textquotedbl{}}.

\subsection{Should we hate the Romans?}
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent “Some people blame the Jews for having killed Jesus. It was still all Pilate’s decision, the Roman Governor of Palestine, and his Roman soldiers, according to the Gospels, who materially crucified Jesus (certainly under pressure of the crowd). Should we hate the Romans too?”

A.R.\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em} 

You ask: \textquotedblleft{}Should we hate the Romans too?\textquotedblright{}

Hate?! Strange vocabulary! Isn't there a more adequate word in your periphery? You insinuate then that we must also hate the Jews! If these sentiments are in you, do not project them onto others.

As for us, we do not hate Jews, Palestinians, or anyone. We are not against Jews, many of whom are badly misinformed and misled by the Zionist media. We are against Zionism whose goal is Greater Israel (Eretz Israel), which extends from the Nile to the Euphrates, by dispossessing all the non-Jewish peoples who are there with the cry \textquotedblleft{}maout ha aravi\textquotedblright{} (death to the Arabs). Is this a cry of love or hate? We have an admiration for Jews like the young orthodox Jewish lawyer Shamai Leibovitz, who decided to defend the Palestinian resistance fighter Marwan Barghouti, and appeared on TV kissing him. We have esteem, even affection, for such non-Zionist Jews and Israelis like the movements of Neturei Karta in the US, \textquotedblleft{}Shalom Akhshav\textquotedblright{} (Peace Now), the lawyer Felicia Langer who stands up for Palestinians, Israel Shamir and other Jews who denounce Zionism and its crimes. We refer you to Israel Shamir's website (\url{www.israelshamir.net}).

Should you \textquotedbl{}hate\textquotedbl{} him too?

We hate no one, not even the Sanhedrin who condemned Jesus after having denied Him as the Messiah. \textbf{Righteous anger} and opposition to injustice do not mean hatred, but judgment. A criminal is not condemned out of hatred for that person but out of love for justice and to safeguard society. Whœver clears a criminal is a criminal too. Moses killed and made war, prophets too. And Jesus, on occasion, took the whip (John 2,13-17) and demanded that we judge in Justice, without weakness (John 7,24 and Luke 12,57). The prophet Mohammad did the same. To follow your logic, we must close the tribunals and sentence the judges.

It was not Pilate, after all, who decided to crucify Jesus. You admit yourself that this happened \textquotedblleft{}certainly under the pressure of the crowd\textquotedblright{}. What more to explain to you then? You have understood everything! However, and to clarify to others, we answer according to the Gospels, since you are referring to them.

The Gospels declare that Pilate, far from wanting to crucify Jesus, attempted, on the contrary, to save Him. The decision to crucify Jesus, we repeat, was certainly not Pilate's, as you claim. It was the Sanhedrin who condemned Him to death (Luke 23,13-19 and Mathew 27,11-26). Let us not distort History. The Sanhedrin threatened Pilate by denouncing him to Caesar as protector of a man of a revolt, Jesus, who incites the Jewish people to rise up against Rome (Luke 23,2). \textquotedblleft{}Pilate was anxious to set Him free, but the Jews \textbf{shouted}, 'If you set Him free \textbf{you are no friend of Caesar's}; anyone who makes himself king is defying Caesar'... 'We have no king except Caesar'\textquotedblright{} (John 19,12-15). It was this blackmail that intimidated Pilate, whose fault was in not taking up the challenge. The Romans reluctantly crucified Jesus; but the will which incited the crime, the hidden hand that crucified Him, was indeed that of the Sanhedrin who fomented the crowd, as you yourself mentioned.

Here is why Jesus asked the Father to forgive them because \textquotedblleft{}they do not know what they are doing\textquotedblright{} (Luke 23,34). This forgiveness covers the Romans who knew not why they crucified this innocent man; they did not want to put Him to death. On the contrary, the Scribes and Pharisees, members of the Sanhedrin, they, knew very well why: they had unjustly refused the spiritual Messianism -neither Zionist nor political- of Jesus. They were therefore unjustifiable because all the Scribes and Pharisees knew the messianic prophecies well. Now, they apply perfectly to Jesus; but the Romans, they, did not know these prophecies. This is the reason for their justification. Did Jesus not tell Pilate: \textquotedbl{}The one (\textit{Caiaphas}) who handed me over to you has the greater guilt.\textquotedbl{} (John 19,11) For, as John reveals, there is sin that is forgivable -that of the Romans- and another, that against the Holy Spirit, which is unforgivable. It is the sin of Caiaphas and his ilk (1 John 5,16-17). Did they not say: \textquotedblleft{}His blood be on us and on our children!\textquotedblright{} (Matthew 27,25) They therefore recognize their responsibility, not that of Pilate.

Where do you place the hatred then?

\subsection{What is it to prophecy?}
It is the prophetic Word which Paul speaks of and its importance (1 Corinthians 14).

\textquotedbl{}If your tongue dœs not produce intelligible speech, how can anyone know what you are saying?\textquotedbl{} (1 Corinthians 14,9)

Prophesying, in the evangelical mentality, dœs not mean the prediction of future events, but to speak of divine, heavenly things, clearly explaining prophecy and divine and celestial truths. But there are different ways of expressing yourself, some are vague, confusing and most often incomprehensible. To express yourself in this way is to \textquotedblleft{}speak in tongues\textquotedblright{}, to utter imprecise words, more like babbling... There are good speakers around the world who only know how to express themselves in talking politics, economics, science, etc... They are \textquotedblleft{}prophets\textquotedblright{} of politics, economics or science. There are seducers who \textquotedblleft{}prophesy\textquotedblright{} their lies well and are able to convince people of little instruction.

There are few spiritual prophets who know, guided by the Holy Spirit, how to convey the Father's Message and Spirit correctly. It is why Paul says: \textquotedblleft{}The one with the gift of tongues talks for his own benefit, but the man who prophesies dœs so for the benefit of the community\textquotedblright{} (1 Corinthians 14,4).

For a long time the Christians did not understand what Paul meant by \textquotedblleft{}speaking in tongues\textquotedblright{} and \textquotedblleft{}to prophesy\textquotedblright{}. The so-called \textquotedblleft{}Charismatic\textquotedblright{} movements began to repeat thoughtless blabbering accompanied with guitar or other musical instruments under the pretext that they \textquotedblleft{}speak in tongues\textquotedblright{}. This is not \textquotedblleft{}speaking in tongues\textquotedblright{}, but simply expressing yourself wrongly: this is why Paul says: \textquotedblleft{}Anybody with the gift of tongues speaks to God, but not to other people; because nobody understands him when he talks in the spirit about mysterious things. On the other hand, the man who prophesies dœs talk to other people, to their improvement, their encouragement and their consolation.\textquotedblright{} Anyone who speaks in tongues needs someone to explain their thoughts more clearly to the recipients.

I have written many texts. In your opinion, did I express myself in tongues or did I prophesy? Have you indeed understood what I have written? If I was clear, then I have prophesied. Many, among the clergy, speak in tongues during their sermons without knowing it. They say a lot of nice words but what do we finally get out of it? Blah blah blah...

I will leave you to read Chapter 14 of 1 Corinthians.
Speaking in prophesy is of utmost importance for us, Apostles of the Apocalypse. We must all pray for this gift of prophesy, recommended by Paul in his epistle. For we \textquotedblleft{}are to prophesy again, this time against many different nations and countries and languages and emperors (\textit{these are people seduced by the beast}) ...\textquotedbl{} (Revelation 10,11)

Jesus said: \textquotedbl{}As for my enemies, who did not want me for their king, bring them here and execute them in my presence.\textquotedbl{} (Luke 19,27)

St Paul said to the Ephesians: \textquotedbl{}You must receive the Word of God from the Spirit to use as a sword.\textquotedbl{} (Ephesians 6,17)

How do we execute them? With a knife or with a sword?
With a \textquotedblleft{}double-edged sword\textquotedblright{}, that which comes out of His Mouth (Revelation 1,16). So it is by the Word of Truth which is found in the prophesies, and the Apocalyptical prophesies in particular, with which we execute the enemies of our Divine Spouse. Is it not He Who \textquotedblleft{}will kill the Antichrist with the breath of his mouth and will annihilate the Rebel with His glorious appearance at His coming\textquotedblright{}? (2 Thessalonians 2,8)

The Word of God, The Word of Truth, is powerful. It destroys, executes the enemy. This Word is sharper than a sword. No one could or will be able to argue against it. \textquotedbl{}The Beast is Israel\textquotedbl{}. This Word alone executes, kills!!!
Peter

\subsection{What is the difference between a saint, a prophet and an angel? Are you saints?}

\subsubsection{A Saint}
From Christian terminology, a saint is a man or woman who lived a pure and exemplary life on earth. Some were also gifted, with charisma like Padre Pio for example, St Francis of Assisi, St Clair, all the Apostles of Jesus, etc... The Church canonized them. But there are lesser known saints, such as Sir Thomas More, Chancellor of King Henry VIII and jurist in 1529, who was disgraced, then imprisoned, and finally executed due to his firm opposition to Henry VIII's divorce. The movie \textquotedblleft{}A man for all seasons\textquotedblright{} relates his edifying story.

In a bigger sense, a saint is any person who seeks to know the one and only Truth, and this at the cost of his own life. Being ready for all persecution is often the price to be paid to discover and keep the one and only Truth. For us Gandhi is a saint. How many so-called believers, Jews, Christians, or Muslims, seek \textbf{to know}... They are thus catalogued by birth, but hardly care to justify their religious affiliation.

To know the Truth is only a half tread path. We must \textbf{remain in it}, not to renounce it for fear of eventual persecution, or for sordid material gain, or even carnal pleasures: \textquotedbl{}\textbf{If you make} my Word your \textbf{home}... you will learn the truth and the truth will set you free\textquotedblright{}, says the Messiah (John 8,31). So knowledge alone is not enough, but to take up the challenge by remaining in Truth and moral integrity.

Knowing the truth leads to knowing the Creator's Will and His Salutary plan, which are often opposed to \textbf{our} inclinations, \textbf{our} desires, \textbf{our} human plans and interests. Are we ready to overcome ourselves, to renounce points of view and commitments opposed to the way which leads to absolute Truth? Pope John-Paul II himself, by not revealing the \textquotedblleft{}secret\textquotedblright{} of Mary's message of Fatima, could not submit his will to that of God. In our opinion, \textquotedblleft{}his sanctity\textquotedblright{} is only a deceiving human title. So many other so-called believers and practitioners have neither the strength nor the desire to give up luxurious comfort and vain human glory in order to reach eternal glory. Nowadays, this glory is obtained by remaining in the Word of Truth by bearing witness against the Antichrist.

Today, sanctity is to recognize the Beast of chapter 13 of the Book of Revelation, and then, not to be carried away by it, caught in its subtle nets: \textquotedblleft{}This is why \textbf{the Saints} must have perseverance and faith...\textquotedbl{} (Revelation 13,10) ... \textquotedbl{}There is need for shrewdness here...\textquotedbl{} (Revelation 13,18) The saints, today, are these witnesses of the Apocalypse, these martyrs who \textquotedblleft{}even in the face of death, they did not cling to life\textquotedblright{} in their struggle against the Apocalyptic Beast (Revelation 12,11). They are also those who, at their level and according to their setting, \textquotedblleft{}prophesy against many different nations and countries and languages and emperors\textquotedblright{} seduced by the Beast, the Antichrist (Revelation 10,11). (Read our text: \href{/en/the-key-of-the-apocalypse-revelation/}{\textquotedbl{}The Key of the Apocalypse\textquotedbl{}}).

All who do God's Will on this earth are saints. He asks us to unmask the Beast and to also establish on earth \textquotedbl{}the new Heaven and the new Earth\textquotedbl{} (Revelation 21,1-8 / 2 Peter 3,13).

Sanctity is to know and then to spread knowledge to those whom the Heavenly Father sends us. Then we will be loved by God. This is sanctity: \textbf{To win God's Heart}. Happy are those who succeed in doing so.

We are asked if we are saints!
Our response is that of Joan of Arc: \textquotedblleft{}If we are, may God keep us so. If not, may God make us so!\textquotedblright{} We think we are on the right path, the Apocalyptic Path of He Who had said: \textquotedblleft{}I am the Way, the Truth and the Life\textquotedblright{} (John 14,6). The Gospel is exceeded today by Saint John's Book of Revelation, this \textquotedblleft{}Small Unrolled Scroll\textquotedblright{} (Revelation 10,2) which, in our age of the end times of the Antichrist, is \textquotedblleft{}that of Life\textquotedblright{} (Revelation 20,12) and the \textbf{renewal} of all things: \textquotedbl{}I am making the \textbf{whole of creation new}\textquotedbl{} (Revelation 21,5).

Meditate Leon Bloy, a Christian thinker who said: \textquotedblleft{}There is only one sadness: not to be a saint\textquotedblright{}.

\subsubsection{A Prophet}
A prophet is a human being, man or woman, who is sent and inspired by God to denounce faults (Jeremiah 1,10), or is the herald of one or more future events, the most important of which being the Messiah's Advent (Isaiah 53 / Zechariah 9,9-10).

\subsubsection{An Angel}
There are several meanings:

\begin{enumerate}
\item Guardian Angels: Every being born into this world is accompanied by its Guardian Angel. They are spiritual beings, not incarnate like the Archangels Michael and Gabriel.
\item Heavenly Angels: Our physical eyes cannot see them. Some saints have intuitively perceived them by divine grace. They fill the Kingdom of Heaven; Matthew 4,11: \textquotedblleft{}and angels appeared and looked after Him (\textit{Jesus})\textquotedbl{}, and also read Matthew 22,30
\item Angels: also means \textquotedblleft{}messenger of God\textquotedblright{}: Matthew 13,39-50 / 24,31
\item Angels: also means \textquotedblleft{}Community chief\textquotedblright{}, bishop, etc: Revelation 1,20 / 2,1 / 2,8...
\item Fallen angels are those who refused to adapt themselves to the divine plan. They revolted against the Creator, wanting to establish a different order. Lucifer (Satan) was their leader. They try, often with success, to train men after them. They succeed with the majority on this earth.
\end{enumerate}

Clear discernment helps us recognize the holy angels from the fallen angels.

\subsection{Reincarnation}
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent I believe in reincarnation. Jesus said: “unless a man is born from above, he cannot see the kingdom of God…” (John 3,1-11) I have personal inner experiences so to believe in it. What do you think?\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

Divine Revelation affirms that every man is born only once: \textquotedblleft{}Since men only die once, and after that comes judgment\textquotedblright{} (Hebrews 9,27).

We must be attentive about everything Jesus said about being reborn; it is about being reborn \textquotedblleft{}in spirit, \textbf{from above}\textquotedbl{}. Indeed, addressing Nicodemus, He says:  
\textquotedbl{}Unless a man is born (\textit{some translate it: again}) from above, he cannot see the kingdom of God... Unless a man is born through \textbf{water and the Spirit}, he cannot enter the kingdom of God: what is born of the flesh is flesh; what is born of the Spirit is spirit.\textquotedbl{} (John 3,3-6)

Jesus spoke of the water of baptism which purifies the soul and makes it reborn through faith in his Person as the expected Messiah. This same baptism is replaced today by that of the spirit which operates by faith in the revelation that Jesus made of the Apocalyptic mystery (see our text: \href{/en/the-key-of-the-apocalypse-revelation/}{\textquotedbl{}The Key of the Apocalypse\textquotedbl{}}).

As for \textquotedblleft{}inner experiences\textquotedblright{} of this kind, one should be prudent, even wary of them. The forces of evil are cunning and know how to play on our feelings and ignorance. They seek to relive on earth through us, to possess us to divert us from the Way which leads to Truth. Let us give credit to Holy Scripture. They are \textbf{already} pushing us to be reborn, to take full advantage of our stay on earth to be reborn, ourselves, in Spirit and to discover, in us, the new being that \textbf{we are invited to become}, of which Saint Paul spoke:
\textquotedbl{}You must give up your old way of life; you must put aside your old self, which gets corrupted by following illusory desires. Your mind must be renewed by a spiritual revolution so that you can put on the \textbf{new self} that has been created in God's way, in the goodness and holiness of the truth.\textquotedbl{} (Ephesians 4,22-24).

It is therefore about an inner, personal, spiritual renaissance, making us a new, regenerated being during our unique time on earth. Let us make the most out of this passage.

\subsubsection{Letter to a Soul in research on Reincarnation}
\textquotedbl{}Reincarnation; to believe in it or not, is very important. A doctrine such as this can make us \textbf{miss our goal} if it is false. It is incompatible with the teachings of Christ, incompatible with His Church, incompatible with the Holy Scriptures  \textbf{revealed by God}.

In St Paul's letter to the Hebrews we read: \textquotedbl{}Instead of that, he (\textit{Jesus}) has made his appearance once and for all, now at the end of the last age, to do away with sin by sacrificing himself. Since men \textbf{only die once}, and after that comes judgment, so Christ, too, offers himself only once to take the faults of many on himself, and when he appears a second time, it will not be to deal with sin but to reward with salvation those who are waiting for him.\textquotedbl{} (Hebrews 9,26-28)

The soul is an obscure realm which we cannot fully probe. We have already spoken of that. It is why we must accept the only valid Light, the only one in which we can trust, confide in, even if we still do not have the answers to all our questions. This Light is Christ Jesus. And when, leaning on His Heart, on Mary's Heart, you have decided to make a pact with Him, you will discover the mystery of the truths that haunt you.

We had talked about the psychology of the depths (Jung's archetypes). It is amazing to \textbf{feel} that such a moment, such a person, such a place, such a circumstance was experienced by me \textquotedbl{}before\textquotedbl{}. In fact, it was not previously in time and space, but a predestination, a \textbf{certain} predestination inscribed in our souls in advance, a kind of \textquotedblleft{}pre\textquotedblright{}-feeling, a \textquotedblleft{}pre\textquotedblright{}-taste, that waited for the proper moment to reveal itself to the most intimate part of ourselves and to trigger an encounter with the inner \textbf{Me} (the subconscious), (the subconscious), then with God in us, with Eternity of which we are already a part, a tete-a-tete, not with a reincarnated body, but with God's very soul, a dialogue, not between the me of today and the me of yesterday or the me of yesteryear, but between me and ME, then between ME and God. It is not a matter of history and geography, but a matter of Eternity already begun.

It is not a matter of the past, but of the present future, ie Eternity.

Nothing must distract you from this dialogue (with God) which must make you giants. Any other interpretation makes you dwarves, worried, prisoners and dissatisfied and will not lead us to the One Source which has nourished you like never before.
Isn't it true? And is it not a sign of Truth to eat until we are full?

Your soul leans with all its weight to say \textquotedblleft{}yes\textquotedblright{} to Christ. It is that already for you (for You) there are no other matters that can offer you what you have already tasted. He is the One, and there is none other than Mary. Where would you go my little bird? They alone make you chirp the way you want and roam as you aspire.

After reading these lines, a wall will crumble and a Beam will liberate you.

On the soul's level, personal experiences and feelings can be communicable, for example, by meeting someone happy, they may communicate to us their joy. Someone gloomy can make us, depressed.

As for the departed, there are some who are envious and evil, and who work that we lose ourselves with them. They communicate to us their own feelings, their own experiences, and their knowledge when God allows them to do so. \textquotedblleft{}May God protect us from the evil dead, especially the members of our families\textquotedblright{}, said a saint. These can do us a lot of harm.

These ominous souls, among which are evil spirits, act in us to squander us. In our ignorance and blindness to everything that occurs in us, we confuse realms, ie we do not distinguish between what feelings or states of mind are our own and what are communicated to us, or \textquotedblleft{}infused\textquotedblright{}.

Sometimes, we get the feeling of recognizing a place seen for the first time: \textquotedblleft{}I have already seen this house, this street, this garden etc...\textquotedblright{} And we conclude that we were ourselves reincarnated. And yet, this place is only 2 or 3 years old. It is therefore necessary to look for the explanation elsewhere.

It is thus, likewise, that God can communicate knowledge to us, His knowledge which we call \textquotedblleft{}innate knowledge\textquotedblright{} of which we have already spoken, a clear and specific intuition on various subjects. It is necessary to distinguish between this innate knowledge and the knowledge acquired by our own effort. The knowledge of Christ is all innate, inside us.

This is how a young girl currently takes herself as the reincarnation of Chopin, since she was not even 14 when she played and composed like him. A dead soul can pass on such an experience. . Anyone can, in accordance with the demons, become if he desires overnight a musical virtuoso for earthly glory, attributing that to reincarnation, when the reality is anything but.

A lot of discernment and divine light are needed to discover all that occurs in us and be able to reject the negative feelings which satanic spirits want to impose on us such as despair, depression, gloom, fear, etc... On the contrary, joy and optimism are fruits of the Holy Spirit. We are influenced by those we frequent; in good or in evil. \textquotedblleft{}Tell me who you frequent, I will tell you who you are\textquotedblright{}. This proverb is also valid for the spiritual world.

\section{Diverse Questions}

\subsection{Pre-marital relations}
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent What is your position concerning pre-marital relations?\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

Our position concerning pre-marital relations is not \textquotedblleft{}ours\textquotedblright{} but the Savior's, the Master: \textquotedblleft{}I say this to you: if a man looks at a woman  \textbf{lustfully}, he has already committed adultery with her in his heart.\textquotedblright{} (Matthew 5,27-30) We have known people who only wanted to have a spouse who could share, not so much their bed, but their thirst for the spiritual. They aspire to read in depth, the divine words of the Holy Scriptures together. To love God together. Saint Exupery said: \textquotedblleft{}Love is not to look at one another, but to look together towards the same goal\textquotedblright{}. Let us therefore not put our physical relationships before feelings. We are called upon to exalt our conception of the links between man and woman.

The French philosopher Jacques Maritain and his wife Raïssa were in love with each other. Yet they never knew each other sexually. This certainly dœs not mean that all couples should imitate them. But their example prompts us to consider matrimonial ties to a dimension other than carnal; then the rest will come. This is to sanctify oneself with the help of Heavenly Grace and prayer. Joseph and Mary of Nazareth, too, loved each other and married without ever knowing each other sexually.

As for pre-marital relations, they are normal nowadays for the world. As for us, we have been chosen to witness, in this world, against this sensual mentality. On a spiritual level, a man and a woman living far from God and having intimate relations with each other are already married according to God and according to us. They should consider themselves so, linked to each other and faithful to each other. As soon as they get closer to our Father, they are called upon to legalize their union. 
As for those who want to live according to the Plan of God, the practice of continence before civil and spiritual marriage is the way to follow for their sanctification and testimony before men. 
Because, a so-called \textquotedblleft{}sentimental\textquotedblright{} relationship for the sole satisfaction of the senses, with such or such a person is adultery. So you have to pray well to merit a holy husband and a holy wife. Such a marriage becomes sanctifying.

\subsection{Birth control products}
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent What do you think of the use of contraceptive products?\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

Their use depends on the particular case. Those who already have children and cannot have others for valid reasons (material, physical, psychological, etc...) are justified. God is an understanding Father. Requiring a couple who have had twins twice to abstain from contraceptives dœs not seem fair to us, especially in our difficult and demanding times. It all depends on the spirit in which we act. So, if it is simply to satisfy sexual pleasures that one marries, if it is to flee from paternal or maternal responsibilities that one is largely capable of assuming, if it is to party here and there every night or every weekend that we devote ourselves to contraceptives, then, yes, such irresponsibility, such immaturity is to a large extent a damnation for the soul. Fatherhood and motherhood are a purification that can lead to holiness.

\subsection{Marriage: A Testimony}

\subsubsection{What is your testimony regarding marriage?}
Response: Letter of Pierre2 (2005):
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent Dear brothers and sisters,

The OFFICIAL engagement of S. and M. gives parents the occasion to bear witness to their and our spiritual commitment, of our unwavering Marriage with God through Christ. In this week of the 13th of May, day of the apparition of the Blessed Virgin in Fatima, we owe this testimony to God and to this Immaculate Mother.

Some of our youngsters have bonded out of love and already live together without getting married… or even officially engaged. This is the mentality of this faithless world. Now, for us who believe in God, this bond is sanctified by a union frankly declared and blessed by God. This blessing is obtained through recognized and blessed marriage (therefore civil and spiritual). The world on the contrary, is content with concubines who live together during rosy times, only to separate when the petals wither after the euphoria and enthusiasm of the early days and first kisses… Love between a man and a woman is a commitment for the better or for the worse. It is not limited to the spring kisses and “intercourse” made under “protection” of contraceptive pills (harmful to women’s bodies), condoms, etc… “‘For me there are no forbidden things’”, Saint Paul says, “Maybe, but not everything does good… I am not going to let anything dominate me… But the body—this is not meant for fornication (illicit intercourse); it is for the Lord…” (1 Corinthians 6,12-14)

“You know, surely, that your bodies are members making up the body of Christ… use your body for the Glory of God” Paul adds (1 Corinthians 6,15-20). I mention these verses considering, of course, that you are Christians! If you disapprove of them, know at least that you are not Christians… or are no longer so.
In this case I have nothing to say to you. Lead your worldly life as you see fit… at your own risk and peril, to the detriment of Spiritual Life!

Parents – if they want to be authentic witnesses to their faith – are required to warn their children living in concubinage… openly or discretely. Parents in solidarity with a concubinage displayed by their children are a counter testimony of their faith in God, and certainly not blessed by Him. They help increase spiritual darkness in this already so darkened world and move away from God. They will have to render count to Him… they too! He is on trial against them!

It would be good for parents to discuss with their children already engaged in love and cohabitation, to talk to them frankly. They have to tell them:

– We cannot endorse an unlawful relationship. If you really love each other, declare this love by an official engagement followed by a marriage blessed by God, as we did.

– You are an example for others, especially for your sisters and brothers. An example to follow or to avoid, depending on the case. You risk shocking, scandalizing, being imitated, spreading this immoral epidemic. If you are believers, manifest your faith by legalizing your love in the eyes of God and society. If you are not, we do not support your morally impure union in the eyes of God and under divine sanction. “Do not model yourselves on the behavior of the world around you, but let your behavior change, modeled by your new mind. This is the only way to discover the will of God and know what is good, what it is that God wants, what is the perfect thing to do.” Saint Paul says (Romans 12,2)

– If you are believers, that is what you must do. If you refuse to hear us, we refuse to acknowledge you, to support you and approve of you. You are free! Us too!

I communicate to you this message from the Father.

Pierre2\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

\subsubsection{What do you think of spiritual and civil marriage? Can we separate them?}
The marriage blessed and desired by our Father is one. Spiritual marriage and marriage before men is one.
If one marries before our Father (whether in private around the Communion with Jesus, or whether before our spiritual family), we must also marry before men, ie in the town hall. The two things are inseparable and should not be separated in time.
Civil marriage is important as a testimony before men.
Jesus said: \textquotedblleft{}Pay Caesar what belongs to Caesar - and God what belongs to God\textquotedblright{} (Matthew 22,21).
There are human laws that we must respect.

Pierre2 strongly said to a couple after their spiritual marriage: \textquotedblleft{}Now hurry up with the civil marriage. The testimony before men is important\textquotedblright{}. He always insisted on the spiritual marriage before God and on the civil marriage, performed at the same time. He advised a couple in Lebanon that was married spiritually to go get a civil marriage in Cyprus, because civil marriage alone dœs not exist in Lebanon.

Do not be a cause of scandal:
And above all, above all, our behavior must be irreproachable, so we are not a cause of scandal or a pretext for deviations.
In this world completely gone mad, where there are no more rules and where everything is permitted, may our conduct within our spiritual family be a clear example that cannot be misinterpreted by others. We think especially of our youngsters.
It is therefore good to abstain from physical relationships as long as you are not married before God and before men.
Otherwise, we become a counter testimony, because the people who see us think that we are for liberal unions.


It is important, that EVERYTHING BE CLEAR AND TRANSPARENT, especially on a subject as important as marriage.

Jesus, our Beloved Brother said:
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent \textquotedbl{}Have you not read that the Creator from the beginning made them male and female and that He said: This is why a man must leave father and mother, and cling to his wife, and the two become one body? They are no longer two, therefore, but one body. So then, what God has united, man must not divide.\textquotedbl{} (Matthew 19,4-6)\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

Man and woman must therefore leave their parents and found a new home, assuming the responsibilities of commitment, whether spiritual or temporal.
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent \textquotedbl{}You are light of the world. A city built on a hilltop cannot be hidden. No one lights a lamp to put it under a tub; they put it on the lampstand where it shines for everyone in the house. In the same way your light must shine in the sight of men, so that, seeing your good works, they may give the praise to your Father in heaven.\textquotedbl{} (Matthew 5,14-16)\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

May we always be a lamp that lights and warms hearts by fidelity to the Spirit of Jesus!

In no way, should we open the door to acceptance of \textquotedblleft{}liberal unions\textquotedblright{}. For if we do not legalize our marriage (spiritual) immediately by civil marriage, then we live in \textquotedblleft{}concubinage\textquotedblright{} before men.
It is a counter testimony and that destroys our Father's plan.
Our Father said, a few years ago, regarding two of our youngsters who had a liberal relationship:
\textquotedblleft{}16.05.2005: 'Saboteurs!! The same ones who sabotaged the foundations of my Church'\textquotedblright{}. (Two youngsters of the family who were living a liberal union)

To meditate: Not to be a cause of scandal (1 Corinthians 8,13).
Paul also said:
\textquotedblleft{}We who are strong have a duty to put up with the qualms of the weak without thinking of ourselves. Each of us should think of his neighbors and help them to become stronger Christians. Christ did not think of himself...\textquotedblright{} (Romans 15,1-3)

By practicing continence before official marriage -thus spiritual and civil- we follow God's Plan and we bear witness to love as our Father desires.
A brother from Lebanon, inspired by our Father said: \textquotedblleft{}The one who marries before God and not before men (civil marriage), deceives God, because he dœs not bear testimony before men to what he did before God\textquotedblright{}. He was prompted by the Holy Spirit to say that. Indeed, he not only deceives God, but deceives men too, because he hides from them that he is married. Now, marriage is not a private affair. Marriage is an integration into society with responsibilities. We cannot make it a private matter before God alone.

Civil marriage and family are the foundations of our society. It is why the Zionists work hard to abolish marriage. Be careful not to go in their direction. It is they who have launched the very popular slogans among the youth like: \textquotedblleft{}Marriage is just a document\textquotedblright{}. This argument has no base. So, it's just paper. The most important contracts are made on paper. Moreover, this paper is signed in the town hall and in the presence of witnesses. It is a \textquotedblleft{}document\textquotedblright{} that enacts laws, among other things, for the protection of our children. And laws are made to avoid chaos and abuse in society.

European and American societies are far too permissive. Liberal relationships have become commonplace and subconsciously do not even react to it.
Jesus said to Pierre2: \textquotedblleft{}Say to Israel: Stop. It is the Europeanism...\textquotedblright{} (15/05/1983).
With Pierre2, we have meditated on this and said that the European mentality is rotten. It is overrun by the Zionist-Masonic plan which seeks and causes the dismantlement of society through the destruction of families.
Do not model yourself according to the world:  
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent \textquotedbl{}I beg you, in a way that is worthy of thinking beings, by offering your living bodies as a holy sacrifice, truly pleasing to God. Do not model yourselves on the behavior of the world around you, but let your behavior change, modeled by your new mind. This is the only way to discover the will of God and know what is good, what it is that God wants, what is the perfect thing to do.\textquotedbl{} (Romans 12,1-2)\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em} 

\textquotedblleft{}The will of God and know what is good, what it is that God wants, what is the perfect thing to do\textquotedblright{} (Romans 12,2) is then logically, to refrain from intimate relationships until official Marriage before all.

This is clearly expressed by Jesus in his words on marriage:
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent \textquotedbl{}‘Now I say this to you: the man who divorces his wife—I am not speaking of fornication—and marries another, is guilty of adultery.’ The disciples said to him, ‘If that is how things are between husband and wife, it is advisable not to marry.’ But he replied, ‘It is not everyone who can accept what I have said, but only those to whom it is granted… there are eunuchs who have made themselves that way for the sake of the Kingdom of Heaven. Let anyone accept this who can.’\textquotedbl{} (Matthew 19,9-12).\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

These words of Jesus concern marriage, for it was truly this subject that Jesus was speaking of. They mean that God's chosen abstain from physical relationships -make themselves eunuchs- before marriage, and then live marriage in love and faithfulness to the spouse, without looking left and right. Happy are those who understand this language!

Paul also says:
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent \textquotedbl{}There is something want to add for the sake of widows and those who are not married… but if they cannot control the sexual urges, they should get married, since it is better to be married than to be tortured.\textquotedbl{} (1 Corinthians 7,8-9)\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

In God's perspective, physical relationships are thus not possible except in the context of a marriage blessed by God and recognized by men.

God also emphasizes this clearly in the Qur'an:
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent \textquotedbl{}Let those who find not the means to marry have recourse to chastity until God enriches them from His bounty.\textquotedbl{} (Qur’an XXIV; Light,33)\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

The most beautiful preparation for marriage and the most beautiful testimony of a living faith for two fiancées is therefore to grow together spiritually and to discover each other at the level of the spirit and the soul until the blessed day of the union recognized before God and everyone.

In this way, we sanctify the Name of God and live these beautiful prayers of Paul, who addresses them to us:
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent \textquotedbl{}May the God of peace make you perfect and holy: and may you all be kept safe and blameless, spirit, soul and body, for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.\textquotedbl{} (1 Thessalonians 5,23)

\textquotedbl{}I pray that the God of peace, who brought our Lord Jesus back from the dead, to become the great Shepherd of the sheep by the blood that sealed an eternal covenant, may make you ready to do his will in any kind of good action; and turn us all into whatever is acceptable to himself through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory for ever and ever, Amen.\textquotedbl{} (Hebrews 13,20-21)\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em} 

\subsubsection{Can civil divorce be considered for financial reasons?}
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent Lately some couples divorce civilly for financial reasons. In Switzerland for example, there are laws that make married couples, when each one works, pay more taxes than those living together and who are not married. Is that a reason for a civil divorce?\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

Certainly not.
We are part of a society before which we must be irreproachable. We must not bypass the laws for personal interests. Our testimony on marriage is very important for future generations. We bear a huge responsibility. If we accept an exception to the guidelines formulated at the beginning of this FAQ, we open the door to many other exceptions, as many would have reasons to \textquotedblleft{}divorce\textquotedblright{} for financial reasons, or not to marrying \textquotedblleft{}for financial reasons\textquotedblright{}. If everyone starts to act according to their interests, we expose ourselves to all kinds of deviations.

Recently, we were reflecting on ourselves in addressing our Father: \textquotedbl{}But we are not anarchists (to bypass civil marriage and leave it as a free choice to each person)!\textquotedbl{} Our Father has given us the answer in inspiring us to read Romans 13. The answer was a striking one. Here is what Paul says:
\textquotedbl{}You must all obey the governing authorities. Since all government comes from God, the civil authorities were appointed by God, and so anyone who resists authority is rebelling against God's decision... The authorities are there to serve God... You must obey, therefore, not only because you are afraid of being punished, but also for conscience' sake. This is also the reason why you must pay taxes... Pay every government official what he has a right to ask--whether it be direct tax or indirect, fear or honor.\textquotedbl{} (Romans 13,1-7; meditate also 1 Timothy 2,1-2 / Titus 3,1 / 1 Peter 2,13-15 / Matthew 17,24-27).
Apparently, the first Apostles were confronted with the same question as us.

When we get married, we do so for the life before God and before men. And \textquotedbl{}what God has united, man must not divide\textquotedbl{} (Matthew 19,4-6), not even in civil marriage, because the testimony before men is important.

Muslims practice apart from legal marriage, the \textquotedbl{}marriage of pleasure\textquotedbl{}, ie a man and a woman recite a formula \textquotedbl{}before God\textquotedbl{} and then they sleep together and can separate at any moment. If two of us get married only before God, it opens the door to this kind of deviation. We think about the future generations.

Thinking of marriage, each time, a thought imposes itself on us: \textquotedbl{}You must therefore be perfect just as your heavenly Father is perfect.\textquotedbl{} (Matthew 5,48)

Jesus said: \textquotedbl{}Why not judge for yourselves what is right?\textquotedbl{} (Luke 12,57). Now, let each person judge for oneself what is right and act accordingly!

Finally, Paul recommends us this line of conduct:
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent \textquotedbl{}Do all you can to preserve the unity of the Spirit by the peace that binds you together… And to some, his gift was that they should be apostles; to some, prophets; to some, evangelists; to some, pastors and teachers; so that the saints together make a unity in the work of service, building up the body of Christ. In this way we are all to come to unity in our faith and in our knowledge of the Son of God, until we become the perfect Man, fully mature with the fullness of Christ himself. Then we shall not be children any longer, or tossed one way and another and carried along by every wind of doctrine, at the mercy of all the tricks men play and their cleverness in practicing deceit. If we live by the truth and in love, we shall grow in all ways into Christ, who is the head…\textquotedbl{} (Ephesians 4,3-15)\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

\subsection{Is \textquotedbl{}The Passion of Christ\textquotedbl{} antisemitic?}
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent Do you think that Mel Gibson’s film \textquotedbl{}The Passion of Christ\textquotedbl{} is anti-semitic?\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

Regarding the film \textquotedblleft{}The Passion of Christ\textquotedblright{}, a sound reflection is essential. The fundamental question is not, I repeat IS NOT whether this film is or is not antisemitic, but if Jesus of Nazareth is \textbf{or is not} the Messiah predicted by the biblical prophecies.

A proper understanding of Isaiah's prophecies, among others, lead to one conclusion: Jesus (Yehoshua) is without a doubt, the Messiah announced by the Lord Creator.

We have all crucified the \textquotedbl{}Son of Man\textquotedbl{}. The forgiveness of this tragic sin is to believe that He, Jesus, is the one and only Messiah, through whom we can all obtain eternal salvation by believing in Him. Isaiah's prophecies lead to no other conclusion. Mel Gibson's film comes at the opportune moment to remind us of the prophetical words of this great prophet:
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent \textquotedbl{}As the crowds were appalled on seeing him—so disfigured did he look that he seemed no longer human… He was despised… a man of sorrows and familiar with suffering… Yet he was pierced through for our faults… On him lies a punishment that brings us peace, and through his wounds we are healed. We had ALL GONE ASTRAY… and the Lord burdened him with the sins of all of us…\textquotedbl{} (Isaiah 52,14 to 53,12)\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

How can we thus accuse a category of people since \textquotedbl{}we had \textbf{all} gone astray\textquotedbl{}?

The only conclusion after watching Mel Gibson's film is far from antisemitic. It is clearly and simply for the universal messianism of Jesus of Nazareth... and anti- my own sins that crucified Him. The sound spiritual reaction should be in kneeling and imploring for forgiveness from the Merciful Lord.

Our concern is not if we are pro- or anti- Semitic but rather if we are pro- or anti- messianic identity of Jesus, in other words pro- or anti-Christ, as St John revealed, a Semite: \textquotedblleft{}The man who denies that Jesus is the Christ--he is the liar, he is the Antichrist\textquotedblright{} (1 John 2,22).
No antisemite would want to follow Jesus, a Semite, or even think of reading his Gospels and the whole New Testament written by Semites.

So let us stop thinking in narrow and morbid terms of pro- or anti- Semitism. Only a guilty conscience has recourse to a vile and futile escape from the severe judgment of God through his Holy Semitic Messiah.

\subsection{Question on divorce}
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent Good day, 
I was lucky to come across your website and was fascinated by its content. And I would really like to know your opinion on divorce and what the Holy Texts say about it.
Sincerely,
K.\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

Dear K.,

We are glad to know you have appreciated our website.
To understand God's Intention in marriage, we advise you to read our text \href{/en/a-look-of-faith-at-the-quran/}{\textquotedbl{}A Look of faith at the Qur’an\textquotedbl{}} (see some extracts under PS at the end of this mail).

The divorce was not permitted by Mohammed except in grave and serious cases, and that by pedagogy, for a certain time in history, because of the Arabs' mentality at that time who were habitual to easy divorce. This was the case with Moses too.

But God's Intention is unchanging. It is reported by Jesus in the Gospel:
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent \textquotedbl{}‘Have you not read that the Creator from the beginning made them male and female and that He said: This is why a man must leave father and mother, and cling to his wife, and the two become one body? They are no longer two, therefore, but one body. So then, what God has united, man must not divide.’ They said to Him, ‘Then why did Moses command that a writ of dismissal should be given in cases of divorce?’ He said, ‘It was because you were so unteachable that Moses allowed you to divorce your wives, but it was not like this from the beginning.’\textquotedbl{} (Matthew 19,3-8)\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

And on another occasion, Jesus said in the same way:
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent \textquotedbl{}And He said to them, ‘The man who divorces his wife and marries another is guilty of adultery against her. And if a woman divorces her husband and marries another she is guilty of adultery too.’\textquotedbl{} (Mark 10,11-12).

\textquotedbl{}But I say this to you, everyone who divorces his wife, except for the case of fornication, makes her an adulteress; and anyone who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.\textquotedbl{} (Matthew 5,32)\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

Paul in his letters testifies similarly on the unchanging character of marriage in the Intention of God:
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent \textquotedbl{}For the married I have something to say, and this is from me but from the Lord: a wife must not leave her husband—or if she does leave him, she must either remain unmarried or else make it up with her husband—nor must a husband send his wife away.\textquotedbl{} (1 Corinthians 7,10-11)\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

If God has prescribed us marriage \textquotedbl{}for the better, or for the worse\textquotedbl{}, it means that He will give us the strength to overcome all the difficulties and the trials of marriage. At the interior of marriage, one needs to know to forgive. Jesus said to forgive not 7 times, but 77 times (Matthew 18,22). And no one amongst us is perfect.
But with grace and prayer, any difficulty, even of insurmountable appearance, can be overcome. 
Love, nourished by prayer and sacrifice, gives us the strength to reinforce the marriage each day further for God's Glory and the internal peace of our children.

In fact, it is inconceivable that true believers divorce (when both are true believers), because marriage is the path to sanctification through the overcoming self. Such is the Intention of God.

It is why Mohammed says in a Hadith considered authentic:
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent \textquotedbl{}Iblis establishes his throne on water and sends his legions. The demon of closest proximity to him is the one who succeeded in creating the greatest trouble (\textit{fitna}). One of these demons comes to him and says: ‘I did so and so’. But he replies: ‘You have done nothing’. Then one among them comes to him and says: ‘I did not spare so and so until I succeeded in provoking the separation between him and his wife.’ Iblis goes near this demon and tells him: ‘What a good son you are!’\textquotedbl{} (reported by Muslim, n°2813, and others)\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

In other words, the divorce is the fruit of the work of Satan.

We must in prayer, resist the demon of divorce and seek with the spouse the path of openness, dialogue, forgiveness and love.

May God give you the strength to walk in this Way.

Website Pierre 2

\textit{PS: Extracts from \textquotedbl{}A Look of Faith at the Qur'an\textquotedbl{}, paragraph 3.3.2, marriage (on our website)}:

In observing modern Arab society, we remark the success of God's pedagogic plan in the practice of monogamy. The Arabs, the grand majority, today have but one wife, and polygamy is rather discredited. Likewise, divorce is scorned by the majority of Arab families; generally, it is considered as the last recourse in very serious cases. Great is the difference between the Islamic society of today, and the pre-Islamic society after the passage of the vivifying breath of the Qur'an.

The Gospel too, adopts the same pedagogical attitude with marriage and divorce: the Pharisees, who freely practiced divorce, questioned the Messiah on this subject to embarrass Him:
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent \textquotedbl{}‘Is it against the Law for a man to divorce his wife on any pretext whatever?’ He answered, ‘Have you not read that the Creator from the beginning made them male and female and that he said: This is why a man must leave father and mother, and cling to his wife, and the two become one body? They are no longer two, therefore, but one body. So then, what God has united, man must not divide’. They said to him, ‘Then why did Moses command that a writ of dismissal should be given in cases of divorce?’ He said to them, ‘It was because you were so hard-hearted, that Moses allowed you to divorce your wives, but it was not like this from the beginning…’\textquotedbl{} (Matthew 19,3-8)\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

It should be stressed that this attitude shocked the Apostles themselves in hearing the words of the Master and asking him:
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent \textquotedbl{}‘If that is how things are between husband and wife, it is not advisable to marry’. But he replied, ‘It is not everyone who can accept what I have said, but only those to whom it is granted. There are eunuchs born that way from their mother’s womb, there are eunuchs made so by men and there are eunuchs who have made themselves that way for the sake of the Kingdom of Heaven. Let anyone accept this who can!'\textquotedbl{} (Matthew 19,10-12)\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

Two important facts are to be considered from this story: the first, it is Moses who permitted to give a letter of divorce, not God. Moses authorized this as a pedagogical step, a temporary concession, because of the psychological immaturity of men at that time. A concession that had to be overcome later, to return to the original state wanted by God, as Jesus had explained. But the Jews, attached to human tendencies, attached themselves to the letter of the Law, refusing to elevate themselves to the divine intention.

The second point to retain is that the Messiah, in his discourse on marriage and divorce, went further, praising the chastity of those who \textquotedbl{}have made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the Kingdom of Heaven\textquotedbl{}. This expression dœs not implicate a surgical operation, nor perpetual celibacy, but a faithful marriage filled with profound and spiritual feelings. It is no longer a question of satisfying purely sexual instincts, but of mastering them, until the meeting of the companion chosen by God. They are thus made \textit{spiritually} \textquotedbl{}eunuchs\textquotedbl{}, that is to say chaste and \textbf{faithful} in the \textbf{unique} marriage all their lives.

The Qur'an also speaks of chastity saying:
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent \textquotedbl{}And let those who find not the means to marry have recourse to chastity until God shall enriches them from His bounty (\textit{by sending a spouse}).\textquotedbl{} (Qur’an XXIV; Light,33)\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

The Arabs of the times of anarchy despised continence and chastity before marriage. This virtue was ignored, even despised, to the point that those who practiced it were accused of a lack of virility. It is the case, still today, in so-called Christian countries.

The Qur'anic teachings have produced their good fruits in the hearts of many Arabs. The Qur'an is the instigator of the evolution of the Islamic society, even though some of its teachings remained fruitless with many Muslims who have closed themselves to the Qur'anic spirit. Likewise, the Gospel did not bear its fruits in the hearts of many Christians who scorn the chastity and holiness of marriage.

\textit{Extracts from \textquotedbl{}Reactions to the Book 'A Look of Faith at the Qur'an'\textquotedbl{}}:

2nd response to Sheikh KR

\textquotedbl{}... You were also angry at me because I said that divorce, which was anarchic at the time of Arab ignorance, is scorned in the Arab world today, after the passage of the Qur'an's vivifying breath. What is there in these remarks which make you so angry? I remind you of the words of the noble prophet Muhammad in his Discussions: \textquotedbl{}For God, divorce is the most odious of the permitted things (\textit{of the \textquotedbl{}permissible\textquotedbl{} things})\textquotedbl{}. I do not have to comment on these prophetic words, as there is a wisdom for those who are capable of understanding.\textquotedbl{}

\subsection{The forgiveness of sins}
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent Since a while now, you have sent me a response to my question concerning the confession of sins. Here is an extract of your email:

\textquotedbl{}\textit{With the Apocalypse, Jesus consecrates as priests all those who believe in the open Book, He forgives their sins and the second death has no power over them (Revelation 1,6 / 20,6).}
\textit{Additionally, \textquotedbl{}No one who has been begotten by God sins… he cannot sin when he has been begotten by God\textquotedbl{}, Saint John says (1 John 3,9).}
\textit{So, where there is no sin, there is no need for confession. All is changed and renewed in the \textquotedbl{}New Heaven and new Earth\textquotedbl{} (Revelation 21,1), in which there is no longer temple or church or synagogue for believers, being themselves the Temple and the Place of encounter with the Father (1 Corinthians 3,16-17 / Revelation 21,22)}\textquotedbl{}.

However, I have noted that in the Bible it is written that if we say we have no sin in us… the truth is not in us (1 John 1,8+).\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

To understand what John says in his first Letter regarding sin, we must distinguish between:

The \textquotedblleft{}little\textquotedblright{} daily sins, the imperfections, we all commit and from which Jesus washes us in His Blood each day through Jesus' Supper. 

More serious sins are those through which we hurt for example a brother. For this kind of sin, as well, Jesus washes us in His Blood each day, when we ask Him forgiveness from the bottom of our hearts. At the same time, it is good in these cases to ask forgiveness directly from the brother who we have hurt. It is this, the meaning of Jesus' words: \textquotedbl{}So then, if you are bringing your offering to the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you, leave your offering there before the altar, go and be reconciled with your brother first, and then come back and present your offering. Come to terms with your opponent in good time while you are still on the way to the court with him, or he may hand you over to the judge and the judge to the officer, and you will be thrown into prison. I tell you solemnly, you will not get out till you have paid the last penny.\textquotedbl{} (Matthew 5,23-26) And also: \textquotedbl{}Watch yourselves! If your brother dœs something wrong, reprove him and, if he is sorry, forgive him. And if he wrongs you seven times a day and seven times comes back to you and says, 'I am sorry,' you must forgive him.\textquotedbl{} (Luke 17,3-4) True repentance, from the bottom of the heart, is the condition to obtain forgiveness.

Finally, there is the sin against the Holy Spirit, which is a voluntary sin, informed, for which there is no forgiveness (Matthew 12,31-32) and for which John says that one must not pray for (1 John 5,16).

We thus need to distinguish in Spirit of which kind of sin John speaks. By writing: \textquotedbl{}If we say we have no sin in us, we are deceiving ourselves and refusing to admit the truth\textquotedbl{} (1 John 1,8), John speaks of the sins of categories 1) and 2). We all commit errors.

When he says: \textquotedbl{}No one who has been begotten by God sins...\textquotedbl{} (1 John 3,9), John speaks of the sin against the Holy Spirit. The one who is begotten by God, cannot commit such a sin.

In the understanding of the Holy Scriptures, it is very important to raise oneself to the Spirit and not to be attached to the letter, because as Paul says: \textquotedbl{}The written letters bring death, but the Spirit gives life.\textquotedbl{} (2 Corinthians 3,4-6)

It is the sins of categories 1) and 2) that Jesus washes us from everyday by His Blood. In fact, continuing with the reading of 1 John 1,8, it is clear that Jesus \textquotedbl{}purifies us of all iniquity\textquotedbl{}, because \textquotedbl{}He loves us and has washed away our sins with his blood\textquotedbl{} (Revelation 1,5).

In the end Times (our times), this is produced through the daily communion with Jesus' Body and Blood, taken in the intimacy of the homes, as expressively desired by Jesus (Revelation 3,20). Therefore, it is no longer necessary to go to confess to a priest. This is part of the \textquotedbl{}New Heaven and New Earth\textquotedbl{} (Revelation 21,1). Anyway, in this new Heavenly Jerusalem, each man and each woman who believes in the Apocalyptic Message revealed on May 13 1970, becomes priest (Revelation 1,6).

Such is our Father's marvelous Plan in the Universal Restoration prophesied by Peter (Acts 3,19-21).

\textbf{Deepening} Read the Biblical Course, Lesson 12, paragraph VII.

\subsection{Can I still be saved?}
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent A couple of years back I used to go on pornographic sites. My spirit tells me that I am probably not going to see the face of God. So as penance, I will go as far as possible, get away from sunlight, live as much as possible in darkness.\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

After having prayed and asked for the Advice of our Father, we give you the following answer:

The fact that you write us is already a confession. So, now ask forgiveness from God from the bottom of your heart.

After that, do not look at the past anymore. Pierre received the following Message on 04.01.2009:
\textquotedbl{}Never look back: what we were... etc... but to what we are and will be: sons and daughters of God, victorious, victorious for His Holy Grace!\textquotedbl{}

It is Satan who tells you to live in darkness. Jesus invites you to live in the Light.
The devil wants to discourage you by enchaining you by our past. Do not listen to him. Recognize him in his negative thoughts and chase him off by the Immaculate Conception and some little invocations often repeated like: \textquotedbl{}Dear Mother, help me to be free from all that\textquotedbl{}. \textquotedbl{}Mom, I confide to you these thoughts, drive them out\textquotedbl{}. \textquotedbl{}I order you Satan to back off in the Name of the Immaculate Conception\textquotedbl{}.
Be strong G. Our Father wants us strong.

Remember, that if you believe in the Apocalyptic Message revealed to Pierre in 1970, then you are an apocalyptic priest. So, take Jesus everyday in the Bread of Life at home, with love, in intimacy as is explained on the website. Because He gives Himself to us for the \textquotedbl{}Remission of sins\textquotedbl{}:
\textquotedbl{}Now as they were eating, Jesus took some bread, and when he had said the blessing he broke it and gave it to the disciples. 'Take it and eat'; he said, 'this is my body.' Then he took a cup, and when he had returned thanks he gave it to them. 'Drink all of you from this,' he said, 'for this is my blood, the blood of the covenant, which is to be poured out for many for the remission of sins.'\textquotedbl{} (Matthew 26,26-28)
It is in the daily Bread of Life that Jesus washes us profoundly of our faults and sins.

And more so, dear G, after that, live in the Light. Live in His Light.
It is for this that you are called.
Our sins are nothing, when we throw them with love and repentance in Jesus' Blood which was shed profusely on the Cross for us.

G, we love you. Courage

PS: Here additionally, are some Heavenly Messages to Pierre to be meditated:

03.01.1995: \textquotedbl{}Everyone is to repent, and to ask for forgiveness. Then, live the repentance, to live in forgiveness. Live in vigilance so not to fall again.\textquotedbl{}

01.01.2006: \textquotedbl{}Love covers a multitude of sins.\textquotedbl{}

07.07.1990: Jesus talks to us about the Bread of Life: I had told your brothers, the first apostles, that I give Myself to them through my Body and my Blood for the remission of sins. The One who remits the sins, it is I. I remit your sins because you come to Me who is in the Bread of Life. 
I had also made the commandment of perfection: \textquotedbl{}Be perfect as your heavenly Father is perfect\textquotedbl{}, all knowing that you, all alone, you cannot perfect yourselves. It is why I had said: \textquotedbl{}Without Me you can do nothing\textquotedbl{}. And it is still the reason for which I give Myself to you in the Bread of Life, so that with Me, you can perfect yourselves and, in elevating you, you elevate man.

Padre Pio said:
\textquotedbl{}My past, O Lord, to Your Mercy, my present to Your Love, my future to Your Providence\textquotedbl{}.

\begin{center}\textbf{Psalm 38 (37) (re-baptized by Pierre2)}\end{center}

\begin{center}\textquotedbl{}Lord, Our good Father,
You did not punish me in your rage.
Your paternal compassion took me out of my sin. 
My offenses rose over my head, 
I was overwhelmed, slain to death by my sins;
I was helpless, crushed, sad and demoralized.
I did not know, tender Father, that all my mourning was before You,
that none of my thoughts were hidden from you.
So my heart is throbbing, my strength deserting me,
I suffered from my sins.
But you, beloved Father, revealed Yourself to me.
You sent me your Messiah, I heard his Voice,
I recognized my faults, I repented.
So your grace has supported me to never do it again.
I drank the vivifying words from Jesus,
I was like the Samaritan at the edge of this Well of Life.
Thanks to him I came back to life, and joy sprang up in my overwhelmed heart.
Then you revealed to me Mary, She flooded me with her light,
She supports me in the noble fight for the glory of your Name.
I wanted to share these divine lights with my parents, my friends and my companions.
But they all turned against me and kept their distance.
They lay snares for me, in wanting my life and hatching plots against me.
And I did not open my mouth.
I said to you 'It is in you Lord Jesus, it is in you that I hope.
Lord Jesus, my God, you will answer!'
Those who hurt me for no reason had multiplied.
They still seek to persecute me for seeking good,
They want to shoot me down for telling the truth,
they render me harm for the good that I have done to them,
they persecute me for accomplishing your Will.
You, Our Father, You will not abandon me,
You are there very close to me, you are in me.
Hurry to rescue me, Father, come quickly to our help 
Come quickly to my help, O You our Savior.\textquotedbl{}\end{center}\end{obeylines}
