Catholic Prayers: January 1 is the Feast of the Circumcision - Eternal

Faith & Beliefs « BellesHeures's Weblog

The Epiphany is when the Holy and

undivided Trinity appeared to confirm the beginning of Our Lord and

Saviour Jesus Christ's public mission for the next, the last, three and

one-quarter years of His earthly life. That mission was for one

objective, which is the salvation of those who believe in Him. He came

to exhaust the sins of those are redeemed by His Most Holy Cross.

Just as His Circumcision was His first shedding of blood for us, so His

Cross is the last. There will never be NOR could there be another

sacrifice by which the redeemed are saved.

Eternal redemption. . . By that

one sacrifice of his blood, once offered on the cross, Christ our Lord

paid and exhibited, once for all, the general price and ransom of all

mankind: which no other priest could do. For He alone is our High

Priest and the only priest to whom we owe obedience.

9:13

For if the blood of goats and of oxen, and the ashes of an heifer,

being sprinkled, sanctify such as are defiled, to the cleansing of the

flesh:



9:14 How much more shall the blood of Christ, who

by the Holy Ghost offered himself unspotted unto God, cleanse our

conscience from dead works, to serve the living God?



9:15 And therefore he is the

mediator of the new testament: that by means of his death for the

redemption of those transgressions which were under the former

testament, they that are called ay receive the promise of eternal

inheritance.



9:16 For where there is a testament
the death of

the testator must of necessity come in.



9:17 For a testament is of force

after men are dead: otherwise it is as yet of no strength, whilst the

testator liveth.



9:18 Whereupon neither was the first
indeed

dedicated without blood.



9:19 For when every commandment of

the law had been read by Moses to all the people, he took the blood of

calves and goats, with water, and scarlet wool and hyssop, and sprinkled

both the ook itself and all the people.



9:20 Saying: This is the blood of

the testament which God hath enjoined unto you.



9:21 The tabernacle also and all the

vessels of the ministry, in like manner, he sprinkled with blood.



9:22 And almost all things,

according to the law, are cleansed with blood: and without shedding of

blood there is no remission.



9:23 It is necessary therefore that

the patterns of heavenly things should be cleansed with these: but the

heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.



9:24 For Jesus is not entered into

the Holies made with hands, the patterns of the true: but into Heaven

itself, that he may appear now in the presence of God for us.



9:25 Nor yet that he should offer

himself often, as the high priest entereth into the Holies every year

with the blood of others:

Offer

himself often. . . Christ shall never more offer himself in

sacrifice, in that violent, painful, and bloody manner, nor can there be

any occasion for it: since by that one sacrifice upon His Cross, he has

furnished the full ransom, redemption, and remedy for all the sins of

the world. But this hinders not that He, by the Holy Spirit, makes

Himself daily present in the sacred Eucharist in the bread and cup given

us by God and His power alone and not by any pretended power of men,

that sacred Presence whom we receive in faith with all thanksgiving.

9:26

For then he ought to have suffered often from the beginning of the

world. But now once, at the end of ages, he hath appeared for the

destruction of sin by the sacrifice of himself.



9:27 And as it is appointed unto men

once to die, and after this the judgment:



9:28 So also Christ was offered once

to exhaust the sins of many. The second time he shall appear without

sin to them that expect him unto salvation.

Muslims are encouraged to come to

Christ, who they already confess as the Messiah, as Islam in the Holy

Qur'an teaches, just as the Holy Bible teaches, and receive baptism in

Christ and come to the Lord's table and receive the Eucharist. (See: The Final Trial)

To exhaust. . .That is, to empty,

or draw out to the very bottom, by a plentiful and perfect redemption.

Second time. . .The

Parousia, Nuzul i Isa in Arabic, the Second Coming of Christ from heaven

with all the elect angels of God.

Jesus Christ said:

John

6:55



He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood,

hath everlasting life: and I will raise him up in the last day.

Matthew 26:28



For this is my blood of the new

testament, which shall be shed for many unto remission of sins.

Jesus Christ OLS and Ruach Yahweh Holy Spirit our Paraclete, Pantocrator

Omniscient Ubiquitos, Yahweh Elohim eth Creator and ruler of all the

Lord thy God Incarnate, subsuming flesh of all men, Jesus Christ our

only Saviour, 70 generations from Adam and the beginning of all creation

through Whom, the Word of God, all that has been created was created

and without Whom was nothing that has been created, Who hast commanded

all men:



1. “Thou shalt not have

strange gods before Me;



2.

Thou shalt not take the Name of the Lord thy God in vain;



3.

Remember thou keep holy the Sabbath Day;



4.

Honor thy Father and thy Mother;



5.

Thou shalt not kill;



6.
Thou shalt not commit

adultery;



7. Thou shalt not steal;



8.

Thou shalt not bear false witness;



9.

Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s wife;



10.

Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s goods;



3.

“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.



4.

Blessed are the meek, for they shall possess the earth.



5.

Blessed are they who mourn, for they shall be comforted.



6.

Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for justice, for they shall be

satisfied.



7. Blessed are the

merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.



8.

Blessed are the clean of heart, for they shall see God



9.

Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called children of God.



10.

Blessed are they who suffer persecution for justice’ sake, for theirs

is the kingdom of heaven.



11.

Blessed are you when men reproach you, and persecute you, and, speaking

falsely, say all manner of evil against you, for my sake.



12.

Rejoice and exult, because your reward is great in heaven; for so did

they persecute the prophets who were before you.



“Blessed

are you poor, for yours is the kingdom of God.



21.

Blessed are you who hunger now, for you shall be satisfied. Blessed are

you who weep now, for you shall laugh.



22.

Blessed shall you be when men hate you; and when they shut you out and

reproach you, and reject your name as evil, because of the Son of Man.



23.

Rejoice on that day and exult, for behold your reward is great in

heaven. For in the selfsame manner their fathers used to treat the

prophets.



24. But woe to you rich!

for you are now having your comfort.



25.

Woe to you who are filled for you shall hunger.



Woe

to you, who laugh now! For you shall mourn and weep.



26.

Woe to you when all men speak well of you! In the selfsame manner their

fathers used to treat the false prophets!”



The

Disciples Compared to Salt and Light



13.

“You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its strength,

what shall be salted with it? It is no longer of any use but to be

thrown out and trodden underfoot by men.



14.

“You are the light of the world. A city set on a mountain cannot be

hidden.



15. Neither do men light a

lamp and put it under the measure, but upon the lamp-stand, so as to

give light to all in the house.



16.

Even so let your light shine before men, in order that they may see

your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven.



The

Old Law and the New



17.
“Do not think that I

have come to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I have not come to

destroy, but to fulfill.



18.

For amen I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, not one jot or

one tittle shall be lost from the Law till all things have been

accomplished.



19.
Therefore whoever does

away with one of these least commandments, and so teaches men, shall be

called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever carries them out and

teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.



20.

For I say to you that unless your justice exceeds that of the Scribes

and Pharisees, you shall not enter the kingdom of heaven.



“Thou

shalt love the Lord thy God with thy whole heart and with thy whole

soul with thy whole depth of being and with thy whole strength. 38. This

is the greatest and the first commandment.



39.

And the second is like it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.



40.

On these two commandments depend the whole Law and the Prophets.



I

say it now.



34.
A new commandment I

give you, that you love one another: that as I have loved you, you also

love one another. 35. By this will all men know that you are my

disciples, if you have love for one another.



Forgive

us our sins as we also do forgive those who trespass against us”



Blessed

art Thou, O Lord, teach us Thy statutes and therefore remember us when

Thou comest in Thy Kingdom



Blessed

art Thou, O Lord, grant us understanding of Thy statutes and therefore

remember us when Thou comest in Thy Kingdom



Blessed

art Thou, O Lord, enlighten us by Thy statutes and by our obedience of

them therefore remember us when Thou comest in Thy Kingdom

THE TESTIMONY OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST

The Revelation of The Lord God Jesus Christ



The Book of St. John the Apostle and Evangelist of the Revelation

Given Him by the Risen Lord Jesus Christ.



THE APOCALYPSE OF ST. JOHN THE APOSTLE AND EVANGELIST



{WHO IS THE LAST PROPHET OF THE BIBLE UNTIL SAINT ENOCH AND SAINT

ELIJAH RETURN AT THE CONSUMMATION OF DAYS – Muhammad is a prophet of

God, Allah (SWT), but his Holy Scripture that God gave him to preach is

the Qur’an}



The Apocalypse is a

revelation of things that were, are and will be. We are actually

witnessing some of the events foretold in this book, but many still lie

in the future [this introduction was part of material written in the

late 1940's]. It is Christ who commands John to write to the seven

churches, opens the seven seals, reveals the sufferings of the saints,

opens the little book, overcomes the beast, reigns during the period of

the first resurrection, judges the dead, both great and small, according

to their works at His Second Coming, rules over all things from the

beginning, presides over all the changing scenes of earth’s history, and

is the King of kings and Lord of lords.



The book presents Christ as the Coming One; it reveals the

dealings of Him who came, and who is to come. It opens with the solemn

hope that the Coming One will come soon, and closes with the impressive

prediction that the Coming One will come quickly.



The book is one of hope, but also one of warning; its aim is to

assure the Church of the advent of her Lord in victory. The precise time

of this victory lies hidden with God, but it is certain, although the

crown will not be won without a struggle. Heaven will be stormed and carried away through

suffering and conflict. And all who keep the words of this book will

take part in the conflict andshare in the victory.The conflict

is presented under the form of symbols. It is not easy to give a full

interpretation of all the types, but the general symbols are not

difficult to understand. Jerusalem stands as the type of the good cause, and this is the Church of

Christ. Babylon appears as the type of the evil cause,

and this is the world _ power. The

heavenly Jerusalem has the assistance of divine power. The earthly _ Babylon has

the help of evil powers, the dragon,

the beast and the false prophet. The scenes in the great conflict arrange themselves

around these types of good and of evil. The numbers, the

seals, the trumpets and the bowls are phases in the development and

consummation of the conflict.



John has arranged the scenes in a sevenfold structure; even in

the subordinate visions he keeps to this arrangement. Commentators,

however, are not agreed in marking off the limits of each structure.



The book was written in Greek by St. John the Evangelist, on the

island of Patmos, about the year. 96 A.D.



Note on parallel passages and commentary. The parallel passages

are based on the full concordance thereof relating to, from the Council

of Trent; the commentary is late 1940’s Catholic from the full consensus

of the Church Fathers on the seven within seven structure of the book.



Also note that the book at the same time “opens from the middle”

so to speak. Just like a megilloth (Hebrew for scroll). The first eleven

chapters (1 – 11) which culminate in the general judgement – Rev. 11:18

– 19



And the nations were

angry: and thy wrath is come. And the time of the dead, that they should

be judged and that thou shouldest render reward to thy servants the

prophets and the saints, and to them that fear thy name, little and

great: and shouldest destroy them who have corrupted the earth.



And the temple of God was opened in heaven: and the ark of his

testament was seen in his temple. And there were lightnings and voices

and an earthquake and great hail. (DRV)



And the second eleven chapters (12 – 22) which culminate in the

general judgement (Rev. 20:11 – 14) and the New Heaven and New Earth

(Rev. 21, 22)



Both the first and

second eleven chapters begin from the time of Christ’s Incarnation but

include the fact that He is Immortal and the Creator of Heaven and

Earth. See: Rev. 1:4 – 6 John to the seven churches which are in Asia.

Grace be unto you and peace, from him that is and that was and that is

to come: and from the seven spirits which are before his throne:



And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, the first

begotten of the dead and the prince of the kings of the earth, who hath

loved us and washed us from our sins in his own blood (when He became

Incarnate by the Holy Spirit and the blessed virgin Mary and went to the

Cross for our salvation)



And hath made us a

kingdom, and priests to God and his Father. To him be glory and empire

for ever and ever. Amen.(DRV)



And see: Rev. 12:1, 2, 5



And a great sign appeared in heaven: A woman clothed with the

sun, and the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve

stars. And being with child, she cried travailing in birth: and was in

pain to be delivered.



And she brought forth a

man child, who was to rule all nations with an iron rod (Christ’s

Incarnation). And her son was taken up to God and to his throne

(Christ’s Resurrection and Ascension). (DRV)



And see: Rev.:21:6:



6 And he said to me:

It is done. I am Alpha and Omega: the Beginning and the End. To him that

thirsteth, I will give of the fountain of the water of life, freely.

(DRV)



These two phrases that

is and that was and that is to come (Greek “‘o oon kai ‘o en kai ‘o

erchoumenos”) and I am Alpha and Omega (Greek: “egoo eimi to Alpha kai

to Omega”) are emphatic declarations of Christ’s Divinity and

Immortality for it is the Thrice Holy Trinity – Rv:4:8 And the four

living creatures had each of them six wings: and round about and within

they are full of eyes. And they rested not day and night, saying: Holy,

Holy, Holy, Lord God Almighty, who was and who is and who is to come.

(Greek “‘agious ‘agious ‘agious kurios ‘o theos ‘o pantocrator”) – alone

Who possesses Aseity (self existence and Who is therefore alone

uncreated) and Who is Immortal of the same Essence/Substance – Nature.



In the above: the “who [that] is”, in Greek “‘o oon”, is the

declaration of Aseity. The “who [that] was” and the “who [that] is to

come” with the “‘o oon”, self existence, is the declaration of

Immortality (having no beginning and no end – always existing). The

phrase I am Alpha and Omega has exactly the same meaning. “I am” – “egoo

eimi” is the equivalent of Yahweh (God’s proper name) in Hebrew meaning

“I am” in the same sense as the above “‘o oon”. Alpha and Omega has the

same meaning as Immortality in the above. Pantocrator (translated as

Almighty) is the declaration of the Thrice Holy Lord God’s All ruling

absolute Sovereignty and includes emphatically the meaning that He is

alone uncreated and Creator, ex nihilo, of all of creation. This relates

directly to the beginning of the Gospel of St. John and the beginning

of the first book of the Torah (the Pentateuch) which is Genesis. See:

Genesis 1:1 through 2:4 and St. John’s Gospel 1:1 through vs. 18. All of

this and the exact seventy human generations recounted in St. Luke’s

Gospel 3:1 – 38 from Adam to Christ (see also the parallel in St.

Matthew’s Gospel 1:1 – 25 from Abraham to Christ) and the testimony of

the Church Fathers does not allow any pagan evolutionary gods nor even

sophist pantheistic idolatrous creationism but only creation by the

Creator as He said He did it, and only Redemption in God and His Christ

(the Messiah, al-Maseeh) as He said that it is; the false gods or pagan

idolatrous religions that willfully reject God and Jesus Christ (those

who do not willfully reject Him but seek God in their hearts are judged

by God alone) are without grace and they and their followers will be

damned forever, who do not repent in this life from those false gods and

religions and come to God and His Christ and make confession in Him and

be baptized by God’s Spirit {believers in monotheistic Islam and all

men of good will (in the full consensus of the Church Fathers) are

included as true believers in the true God when therefore saved by their

confession of belief in the Triune God and fulfilling the will of God,

Allah (SWT), they come to Christ and professing the Trinity are baptized

in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit}. Allah is

from biblical Hebrew ‘Eloah’ and means the true God, All middle Eastern

Christians, including Catholics, who are Arabic speakers call on Allah

as the name of the true God. Amen.



Note on parallel passage notation – the ! after a scriptural

reference means that is the emphasis or central point for explanation of

the passage.
