These Last Days News - April 15, 2014

The End of Christian America...

"The battle, My child, will accelerate very shortly for there will not only be a great war of weapons of mankind, but it will be known soon throughout the world as a religious war." - Our Lady of the Roses August 21, 1974

Catholic in the Ozarks reported on April 7, 2014:

April 7, 2014 may now be remembered as the date in which Christians began to lose their freedom of religion in the United States....

(LifeSiteNews.com) — The U.S. Supreme Court Monday has declined to hear Elane Photography v. Willock, the case of a photographer who was told by the New Mexico Supreme Court that she must, as “the price of citizenship,” use her creative talents to communicate a message with which she disagrees or suffer punishment.... 

....“Americans oppose unjust laws that strong-arm citizens to express ideas against their will,” added Senior Counsel David Cortman. “Elaine and numerous others like her around the country have been more than willing to serve any and all customers, but they are not willing to promote any and all messages. A government that forces any American to create a message contrary to her own convictions is a government every American should fear.” 

It's not over mind you, a few similar cases are still pending, but this is a very ominous sign. Whenever the U.S. Supreme Court refuses to hear a case, it has the de facto effect of upholding the lower court's previous ruling. Now the Supreme Court can later overrule that ruling with another similar case, so we could say there is still a glimmer of hope. However, one would think this particular case would be a very fast and easy one to settle. One of the reasons why the Supreme Court refused to hear it could be because it will soon issue a ruling on the Obamacare HHS mandate that forces private companies to pay for "medical services" (abortion and contraception) they morally object to. The effect of this ruling could bleed over into cases such as this one. For example; if the Supreme Court sides with Hobby Lobby and strikes down the HHS mandate, then the effect of that case would be to vindicate Elane Photography and uphold the owner's religious freedom in this and all similar cases. If on the other hand, the Supreme Court sides with the Obamacare HHS mandate, then that would indicate that the Supreme Court has sided AGAINST religious freedom not only on the HHS mandate issue, but in the case of Elane Photography as well, and all similar cases.  So this case now in the Supreme Court (Hobby Lobby v. Obamacare) has everything riding on it.

On a personal level, I have zero confidence in the United States Supreme Court. If they rule in favour of Hobby Lobby on religious freedom, I suspect it will be a watered-down ruling that will still diminish religious freedom in some way.  If it actually rules fully in favour of religious freedom, then I will be shocked and consider it a fluke of history. We are after all, talking about the same branch of government that gave us Dred Scott v. Sandford and Roe v. Wade. The first ruling led to the Civil War and the second produced a holocaust of 40 million dead babies. When we examine the history of the US Supreme Court we find that it is far more apt to produce evil than good. So with that reputation under its nine robes, I think we can have reasonable expectation of this branch of government doing something particularly dastardly in this high profile case. So when it comes to the US Supreme Court, I pray for the best but expect the worst.

My own pessimism aside, let's look at what our role as Christians will be in the years ahead, regardless of the US Supreme Court's decision. For our role as Christians (particularly Catholic Christians) does not change.

It is simple really. We need to stop framing our thoughts, views and actions in terms of our own "freedom" or "liberty."  As we will soon learn, one way or another, "freedom" and "liberty" in a secular sense is determined entirely by the whim of those in government, even if they are supposedly "dignified" judges in dirty black robes. Your "freedom" and mine means nothing to them.  Your "liberty" is simply what they decide it to be. So when we frame our defence in terms of "freedom" and "liberty" we automatically lose, if not now than later, because these are abstract concepts entirely dependent on those in charge. I find it amusing that Christians are so eager to point to the United States Constitution, or the Declaration of Independence, as their defence in such cases. Freedom of religion may have meant one thing in George Washington's time, but guess what? George Washington isn't here any more, and neither is Thomas Jefferson or Benjamin Franklin. Those folks, for all of their writings and sacrifices, can't help us these days, as the United States government has proved time and time again.  Appeals to religious freedom are eventually destined for failure, if not now then someday. There is only one defence that will work, but to make it work, it will require sacrifice.

The defence that every Christian must appeal to is "religion" itself, not "religious freedom."  That's right. The defence every Christian must appeal to, whether it be the right to speak for or against some things, or the right to pay or not pay for some things, or the right to do or not do some things, is simply "religion."  That's it. Not "religious freedom" but "religion" -- period. Christians, especially Catholic Christians, need to be as bold as Muslims by citing our "religion" alone for the reason why we say and do things. Yes, our society and government will persecute us for this. They will fine us, take away our licenses and perhaps even jail us for this.  Yes, we will receive the scorn of our culture for this.  They will call us "bigots" and "fascists" and "obsolete" and whatever other epitaph they can dream up.  Some of us will be laughed at.  Some of us will be yelled at.  Some of us will even be beaten for this. It's called martyrdom people! And this is a concept Christian Americans have a really hard time wrapping their minds around. This is how Christians win.  We win in the short term by pleasing God with our personal sacrifices for his Son.  We win in the long term because the blood of the martyrs becomes the seeds of the Church. Every time in history when martyrs have sacrificed themselves for his Son, God has rewarded their sacrifice with the eventual revival of the Church and its inevitable victory over oppressive governments and society. Look at what happened with ancient Rome. I tell you, perhaps within our lifetimes, we may see a revival of Christianity in the Middle East not seen in over a thousand years!  Why?  Because Christians are sacrificing themselves there.  The same goes for China.  Their sacrifices will not go unnoticed by God.

Christians here in the United States need to be willing to do the same thing.  Our focus should not be avoiding persecution, but rather inviting it with our loyalty to Christ. Let us show the world, and history, by using our own sacrifices as an example, just how intolerant and hateful Secular Humanism is. Let us show the world, and history, through our martyrdom (financial, legal and even physical) jut how hateful Washington DC, and our state governments, really have become toward Christianity. This is the way to victory, it is the only way to victory there is.  Indeed, it is the only way to victory there ever was.

From now on, whenever asked why we believe homosexuality is wrong, we should simply answer, "because our religion tells us so" and leave it at that. When asked why we won't pay for abortion and contraception, we should just answer "because our religion tells us so" and leave it at that. From now on whenever the government says we have to do something that violates our beliefs we should simply answer "we can't, because our religion tells us so" and leave it at that, willing to pay whatever fine, sacrifice whatever license, and serve whatever time in prison is necessary.  Let us keep track of it, document it, and tell the world through the Internet and every media available. Let us simply be martyrs and show the world how intolerant a Secular Humanist society and government really is.  Let history be its judge and let our sacrifices be our gifts to God. If, by a fluke of nature, the US Supreme Court rules in our favour, then we have that favour -- for now. (In time that will change.) If on the other hand, the more likely scenario occurs wherein the Supreme Court rules against us, then our actions do not change. We simply continue to do everything the way we have been doing, all in the name of religion, simply because our religion tells us so, and for no other reason. Let us break the government's law, when it is unjust, and allow ourselves to be martyrs because of it, as our sacrifice unto God.

Above is a photograph of a Mexican priest who was executed (martyred) during the Cristeros War in the 1920s.  Let this man be our guide and example.  During the 1920s the Mexican government thought it could take over all the religious activities of the Mexican people. People were told they could not go to mass except on days the Mexican government approved.  Priests not native to Mexico were expelled from the country, in the hope of gaining more control over the clergy.  Some priests resisted, broke the law, and remained in Mexico as Church law dictates, so they could serve their flock by saying mass, baptising children, and performing weddings.  For breaking the Mexican government's unjust laws, these priests were executed (martyred), and thousands of Mexican Catholics joined them in martyrdom, as their bodies hung from telephone polls all across the country.  Yes this really happened.  Look it up.  This is the price of Secular Humanism running amok in Mexico.  Now we see it beginning to run amok in the United States.  If Mexican Catholics can give their very lives, and sacrifice everything for the sake of their religion, what then are American Christians (especially Catholic Christians) ready to do?  Are American Christians as brave and as faithful as Mexican Christians?  Perhaps now we shall see.

"All who continue in the battle ahead must accept martyrdom. it does not, My child, necessarily mean death of your body, but it will mean persecution. Stand fast in the faith. Keep the faith in the hearts of those you love. Extend your charity of heart to all of your brother and sisters throughout the world. Pray a constant vigilance of prayer." - Our Lady of the Roses, October 2, 1974  

Our Lady of the Roses Awesome Bayside Prophecies... http://www.tldm.org/Bayside/  These prophecies came from Jesus, Mary, and the saints to Veronica Lueken at Bayside, NY, from 1968 to 1995.

WASHED CLEAN
"The saints and those who were washed clean by the blood of martyrdom, they join all in Heaven crying for vengeance against deceitful mankind and the abominations that offend the Eternal Father--abominations in the House of God!" - St. Michael, September 13, 1974

IN THE FEW
"Many martyrs, My child, shall come in the days ahead, and defenders of the Faith. Carry your crosses, My children, for those who will be saved shall be in the few." - Jesus, November 20, 1975

IMMEDIATE ENTRANCE
"My children, are there so few who will suffer for the Faith? Are My children lost to the need for suffering and martyrdom for the Faith? Do you not understand, My children, that martyrdom means immediate entrance into Heaven. Is this not worth fighting for?" - Our Lady, November 20, 1978

MANY GREAT SAINTS SHALL RISE
"Awaken now from your slumber and seek your return from your course of destruction by getting down upon your knees and praying in heartfelt, sincere prayer to the Eternal Father, to guide you back from your present road of destruction.
     "Your countrymen have sought to silence the voice of My Mother throughout your world. You will not continue to silence the voice-boxes throughout the world, for you are sowing the seeds of your own destruction!
     "Amen, amen, I say to you: unless mankind returns God the Eternal Father to his life, he will not have the years of two hands to count upon!
     "The present generation, My child, shall pass through this crucible of suffering. Many great saints shall rise from this persecution.” – Jesus, June 5, 1975 

VICTIMS
Veronica - Now Jesus is moving over to the right side of the flagpole. He's rising up with Our Lady now Who's behind Him and Michael. And I see far in the distance many angels. I can tell from their robes they're angels.  Now Jesus is bending over.
    "They are angels, My child, but they come from your earth. You see those who have cleansed their souls and washed their robes in the blood of sacrifice as victims. Victims of injustice by man upon your earth. They have given themselves as victims to maintain the faith. Before your world comes to its final curtain, My child, there will be many who will wear the robes of martyrdom." - Jesus, February 10, 1975

CHOSEN
"I have the foreknowledge to impart to you that only a few will be saved in the coming Chastisement. Many will be taken from the world before this crucible of suffering. Many will be chosen by the Father to remain in martyrdom, awaiting the Coming of My Son." - Our Lady, March 24, 1973

VALUE OF SUFFERING
"My child and My children, comfort yourself in the knowledge that all suffering shall be given over now for the salvation of souls. Learn the value of suffering. Do not waste a martyrdom that can be given over for the salvation of a soul. Accept the will of the Eternal Father, but always pray and test the spirits that come to you." - Jesus, June 9, 1979

PERSEVERANCE
"Our hearts are torn because many have been misled. We ask a great burden for many to accept: a burden of perseverance. And this is a burden when the opposition is great, a burden filled with eventual graces to accept martyrdom upon earth." - Jesus, December 7, 1978

FOREVER WITH GOD
"Man in his arrogance has cast aside the truth of the everlasting soul, the nature of man, the immortality of the soul. Know there is no word such as 'death'--only to the human body. You are as you are, an entity that lives forever. But over the veil, you have your choice of the kingdoms: forever in the light or the darkness. Forever with God the Father, My Son, and all those who have washed their robes clean in suffering and martyrdom for My Son, or you will join in the kingdom of the damned--the darkness, the wailing, and the torture of heart, knowing that you are forever lost in the abyss." - Our Lady, October 6, 1974

MANY WILL BE MARTYRED
"Yes, My child, much blood will be shed upon the earth. Many will be martyred for the cause of My Son before this battle is over.
    "I have great hope, My child, great confidence that the armies of the light raised throughout your world will be able to go forth and reach the world with the truth, so that your generation can avoid the greatest part of the punishment that has been allotted, that will be given to mankind if your world does not turn from the evil and the offenses being committed--offenses that will not be condoned by the Father, for you have given yourselves, as a perverse generation, to satan." - Our Lady, June 15, 1974

Place a Crucifix on the outside of your front and back door...  The only real protection against terrorists...
Jesus - "Pray and wear your sacramentals. And, also, My children, I ask you again to place a crucifix upon your door. Both front and back doors must have a crucifix. I say this to you because there will be carnage within your areas, and this will pass you by if you keep your crucifix upon your doors." (6-30-84) (Testimonies of lives and homes saved by the crucifixes.)  http://www.tldm.org/news/crucifix.htm

Our Lord stated we must have crucifixes upon the outside of all of our outside doors.

If you have any problems, you can call us at 616-698-6448 for assistance. This Heaven’s Home Protection Packet is available for a donation of $10.00 plus $3.00 shipping and handling.
