We will never be able to plumb the depths of wisdom that can be found in Holy Scripture. With the eyes of faith we are shown many overlapping truths, all in accord with each other, all designed to point to the inscrutable mystery of God. It was God who ordered Moses to build the Ark of the Covenant thousands of years before Mary of Nazareth was born. God gave very precise instructions to Moses on how to build and use the ark. The Scriptures show that the Ark of the Covenant was a type, or model … [Read more...]
Ecce praedixi vobis
Ecce praedixi vobis, "Take note, I have told you beforehand." (Matthew 24:25) In Signs and Revelations, my previous post, we examined what seems to be a hidden prophetic pattern in the narrative of Matthew, chapter 16.

(My own definition) The same can be said of any other of the collectivist ideologies: Socialism, Fascism, Nazism, etc. since they are diverse excuses aimed at achieving the same objectives. Many have used those ideologies throughout … [Read more...]
Three Days of Darkness
In the past few months I have found a few videos and articles, even television programs that present a "scientific" explanation of the Days of Darkness promised in Holy Scripture and Holy Tradition. I do not know if that is a concerted effort to distort the prophetic warnings, or if it is just a fad among the now conspicuous anti-Christian crowd. Some falsely invoke studies by NASA or other reputable sources such as universities or well known scientists. A laughable prediction was made for this … [Read more...]
