R. A very important passage from Isaiah –

December 19, 2010

Fourth Sunday of Advent

INTRODUCTION - (Isaiah 7,10-14; Romans 1,1-7; Matthew 1, 18-24) Conflict in the Middle East is not a new thing. Our first reading takes us back 700 years before Christ. It was as complicated a political situation as it is today. There are four kings you have to keep track of. Tiglath-pileser III was king over the Assyrians. (You won't be quizzed on that name.) The Assyrians were the dominant power in the Middle East. They were an especially cruel and powerful nation whose capital was located in what is today northern Iraq. There was a king of Jerusalem, named Ahaz, who ruled the southern part of the Holy Land, and a king in Samaria who ruled the northern part of the Holy Land. Further north was the king in Damascus. The two northern kings wanted King Ahaz in Jerusalem to join them in an alliance to go to war against the Assyrians. Ahaz refused, so the two northern kings were going to attack Jerusalem, and replace Ahaz with someone who would cooperate with them. Ahaz decided to call on Assyria for protection. This is where our first reading comes in - an extremely important passage in the Book of the Prophet Isaiah. Isaiah warned Ahaz not to get involved with Assyria for they were too powerful. He promised, "God would keep the king and Jerusalem safe." The other two kings would soon be destroyed. Ahaz did not have enough faith in God. Isaiah tried to offer Ahaz a sign. Ahaz protested, but Isaiah offered one anyway. For Ahaz the sign would be that he would soon have a son to succeed him as king. He had no offspring at this time for he had sacrificed his only son to the Canaanite God, Moloch. Ahaz' son would be called by the symbolic name Emmanuel for he would be a sign that God was with his people. It is a good possibility that the son Ahaz eventually had was Hezekiah who turned out to be a good leader and a king who was faithful to God. St. Matthew saw in this promise of Isaiah a greater depth of meaning. He saw that Jesus fulfilled this promise perfectly by being born of a virgin and by being a sign to us that God is with us.

                R. The King of Jerusalem didn't obey. They
                    called on the Assyrians and that was a
                    disaster. From that time Jerusalem
                    was under the Assyrians.

Today's Readings

Isaiah 7: 10-14

Yahweh spoke to Ahaz again and said:

Ask Yahweh your God for a sign,
either in the depths of Sheol
    or in the heights above.

    But Ahaz said, ‘I will not ask. I will not put Yahweh to the test.’
    He then said:

    Listen now, House of David:
    are you not satisfied
        with trying human patience
    that you should try
        my God’s patience too?
    The Lord will give you a sign in any case:
    It is this: the young woman is with child
    and will give birth to a son
    whom she will call Immanuel.

Psalm 24: 1-6

To Yahweh belong the earth and all it contains,
the world and all who live there;
it is he who laid its foundations on the seas,
on the flowing waters fixed it firm.

Who shall go up to the mountain of Yahweh?
Who shall take a stand in his holy place?

The clean of hands and pure of heart,
whose heart is not set on vanities,
who does not swear an oath in order to deceive.

Such a one will receive blessing from Yahweh,
saving justice from the God of his salvation.
Such is the people that seeks him,
that seeks your presence, God of Jacob. Pause

Luke 1: 26-38

In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a town in Galilee called Nazareth, to a virgin betrothed to a man named Joseph, of the House of David; and the virgin’s name was Mary. He went in and said to her, ‘Rejoice, you who enjoy God’s favour! The Lord is with you.’ She was deeply disturbed by these words and asked herself what this greeting could mean, but the angel said to her, ‘Mary, do not be afraid; you have won God’s favour. Look! You are to conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you must name him Jesus. He will be great and will be called Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his ancestor David; he will rule over the House of Jacob for ever and his reign will have no end.’ Mary said to the angel, ‘But how can this come about, since I have no knowledge of man?’ The angel answered, ‘The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will cover you with its shadow. And so the child will be holy and will be called Son of God. And I tell you this too: your cousin Elizabeth also, in her old age, has conceived a son, and she whom people called barren is now in her sixth month, for nothing is impossible to God.’ Mary said, ‘You see before you the Lord’s servant, let it happen to me as you have said.’ And the angel left her.

                R. Ahaz is offered a sign in the first reading.
                    Ahaz sounds humble here – he won't ask for
                    a sign, but he is phony because he already
                    killed his son in sacrifice to a false god – thanks to Ahaz
                    the Kingdom of David wouldn't have
                    an heir – so God gives Ahaz a son so
                    the Reign of David would go on after
                    300 years. Ahaz should have trusted in God
                    and did not.

                We see that God gave us a sign, Mary conceived
                    of Jesus. Mary was concernd because she
                    made a vow of being a Virgin –

                The angel gave Mary a sign in that Elizabeth
                    had conceived of John the Baptist
                    in her old age.

                Mary said she was the handmaid of the Lord.
                    The word she used "handmaid" is
                    from a Greek word which means
                    "slave" of the Lord.

                This was the beginning of our Salvation
                    because Mary conceived Jesus
                    our Savior.

Song: A Song from Jesus

Angels Will Read the Message

December 20, 1993 - 2:40 a.m.

Jesus: Who will read the message? Angels will read the message. I will be by their side. I want the messages out. I want them out, I tell you. I want My people to hear all I am telling you. I want, not a few, but all to hear these words. They are private revelations given by Me to My people. The souls are, oh, so hungry for this one. They need to get these messages.

I am one crying in the desert. Make ready the way of the Lord. Prepare ye a path for the Master. He comes as a child in a stable. His people are asleep. Where are they and what are they doing with their busy lives? The angels will read the messages. They will rock the heavens and all will know My love and My might. From the housetops, shout this. Proclaim, "The day of the Lord is approaching. Make ready a path for Him." Will you comply with this demand to deliver a message to My people?

Time, child, is so short. You must ready all with My words of love. They are half asleep and dazed. They walk this earth with blinders on their eyes. My day will rock them off their rockers and they will know it is I with Whom they deal. No mistake will be made as to what is happening. All will see My power and My might. From the heavens shall come a sign and all will know from whence it comes. And the days that follow will be days to prepare men's hearts for My coming. I will not come unannounced. I will come with My power and My might and you will know what you will behold. Men will turn their hearts to Me with these messages. Get them out, I tell you, for their need is very great. I am patient and yet I am demanding. Ready yourself for this day of the Lord. I come as a baby into your midst, the angels sing, the choirs of heaven rejoice and you will know soon that I am very close to you all. Indeed you will know!

What awaits those in their feeble hearts! They run after such useless things when I, God, am talking in these letters. They think their world is their end. What an awakening they will have-a wide awakening!

I knock to make ready for My coming. You hear Me knock on your door in the night. Make ready this path so My people will read these letters of love. I am mighty and worthy of such praise. My people must realize My love in My intense might. What sign do you need? Do you think these messages were for your ears alone? Such power and wisdom in Rita's purse? This is not the idea. They are for all! My ease goes with you in all your undertakings to get these messages out.

Slow, too slow, I tell you. Shout My message from the housetops, that I am Lord and I am coming in your midst as a baby, but, with such might! My time is at hand. You tarry too long, My little ones. Time you do not have. This world is crazy! People are so busy at the malls. Oh, what foolish ones. I come as a baby into your midst. This is My birthday and whom do you worship? You worship idols! It is all such a sick world. Make ready My path, My little ones. Time is so short and you must not tarry any longer for into your hands I place My words for the world. They are mighty, little ones. Read them! What do you do with these words? Do you want proof? Look at Me hanging on the cross. It is out of this love of you I died a brutal death! Do you think I would not go to this extent to save the souls of My loved ones? Why would I come to this earth, give My life for all My beautiful creatures, and then, at this stage of the game, not send some mighty medicine to cure My sick little ones? You possess the mighty medicine. I mixed it with such love and I hand-deliver each message to shake My people to My love. The heavens will rock and the Son of Man will appear on a cloud and the glory of the Lord will be shown on high!

Get busy, you little people. The angels declare My words are given here. This is My gift to My people-distinct, clear letters proclaiming My love. Are you listening? Do you think I would not try everything to save My beloved ones?

Oh, I will go to any extent to save these little ones, so ornery and so stupid in their ways, so sinful in this evil world, but so precious to Me. I will come in My glory and I want every last soul.

I am God. Why would I not speak to you? I wait for you. I wait, I wait, but you are all so blind and dense. What you do is so silly. Your ways here have become sick and your hearts have become hard. But shout it from the housetops! I loved you to My death! I love you all in your sickness. I want you united under the mantle of My mother, praying and honoring God.

America, turn yourselves around before it is too late. Come and heed My harkening. Come, come, My children. Time is so short and a lot of mending must be done in your hearts. You have hardened them and now they must come back to life. Only I can give you this life in your hearts.

Heed My words here. I am gentle and kind in heart. My heart is a heart of love. I have hand-delivered these messages to My people and you are My delivery boys. Get them going, little ones. You tarry too much.

My gift to My people is My love this Christmas. I am showering all at this Center with grace this season. The devotion there pleases Me, but more must flock and they will be changed from hardened hearts to hearts for God. I am God, little ones. I came and I died a brutal death. I am calling to you all to deliver this now. Make this your top priority so they will hear My message of love and know the love I have for them. Do not tarry. Do this today, little ones.
