Good morning, Disciples of Jesus Christ. Wow! The Holy Spirit just revealed more understanding of both Daniel, Chapter 12, and Revelation, Chapter 12 as the same description of what is going to occur during the Great Tribulation period with St. Michael the Archangel. We just celebrated the Feast Days of both the Archangels and our Guardian Angels, and this is not a coincidence that Our Lord is revealing this significance between these two Books in God’s Holy Word at this time. As the Church Father Tertullian explained that it is the “Blood of the Martyrs that are the seed of the Church”, it is this understanding that we are discerning is the description of the First Fruits that rise both in Daniel, Chapter 12 at the end of this age, as well as the same description of St. Michael the Archangel defeating the fallen angels in the air that continue to attack the Church, and all followers of Jesus Christ. We also received a prophetic word from the Holy Spirit last year on “The Blood of the Martyrs” and we knew there was significance to this word coming from the Holy Spirit. Here is what Tertullian said about the “Blood of the Martyrs as the seed of the Church.” https://ecclesiasticalhistory.org/ante-nicene/chapter-12-persecution-of-christianity-and-christian-martyrdom-literature.
This understanding comes right after we heard the Holy Spirit say just last week, “2, 23, antichrist” and we studied St. Polycarp, who was also martyred for His testimony to the Word of God. Here is what is amazing about the Holy Spirit revealing this at this time. If we are actually in the first part of the 7-year Tribulation period, at the end of this Age of Sardis in the vision given to Venerable Holzhauser, then God is telling us here that martyrdom is what built up His Church in the Age of Redemption, according to the Teaching of the Divine Will, and it will also be again, the “blood of the martyrs” that will build up the Church in the Age of Sanctification. This next age of the Church, Venerable Holzhauser also calls the Church of Philadelphia in the 6th Age of the Church. As we were studying more about what Our Lord wants us to do for Him, especially in evangelization for the salvation of souls, the Holy Spirit keeps dropping prophetic clues for us to keep researching. Everything is always up to God on what He wants to reveal about His Holy Word, but this understanding from God came right at a time when we put together the fact that it appears that it is the silent apparition of Our Lady of Knock, in August 21, 1879, that She is actually present for the opening of the Seals in the Book of Revelation standing next to the unblemished Lamb of God on the altar, and She is wearing a golden crown with one red rose signifying Her Queenship of heaven and earth. As I was meditating on the Lamb of God recently, standing on the altar in the silent apparition in Knock, I also discovered that St. John the Apostle only sees in his visions in the Book of Revelation, a white unblemished Lamb that appears to be slain all the way through until Revelation, Chapter 19:11. Then, he actually sees the King of Kings wearing a cloak dipped in blood with His name and His Father’s name on it, and the armies of heaven following Him wearing white linen. (This army is not angels Disciples, these are martyrs!) https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%2019&version=NABRE.
Those that are with the King of Kings WHO is wearing a cloak dipped in Blood, (This Blood is the blood of the martyrs), are wearing white linen and they are also on white horses. Notice that Our Lord’s name here that we recognize is “Word of God” and His horse is called Faithful and True. Meaning, God is avenging the death of this army behind Him because they testified faithfully to His Truth as the living Word of God in the Holy Scriptures. Their robes are made of white linen because their sacrifice for the Church made them His Saints! Does this sound familiar as the first martyrs sacrificed their own lives for the Church of Christianity to be preached around the world? Does this also sound familiar when we read 1 Maccabees and 2 Maccabees and the sacrifices they made in order not to follow along with the orders of the first antichrist, who was Antiochus Epiphanes IV?
Here is the description of the old martyrs wearing white robes of linen standing with Our Lord in Revelation 19:11.”The King of Kings. 11 [g]Then I saw the heavens opened, and there was a white horse; its rider was [called] “Faithful and True.” He judges and wages war in righteousness. 12 His eyes were [like] a fiery flame, and on his head were many diadems. He had a name[h] inscribed that no one knows except himself. 13 He wore a cloak that had been dipped in[i] blood, and his name was called the Word of God. 14 The armies of heaven followed him, mounted on white horses and wearing clean white linen. 15 Out of his mouth came a sharp sword to strike the nations. He will rule them with an iron rod, and he himself will tread out in the wine press[j] the wine of the fury and wrath of God the Almighty. 16 He has a name written on his cloak and on his thigh, “King of kings and Lord of lords.”
We must remember that it is those that testify to the “Word of God” that will have their robes washed white, thus they are given white linen robes! We must also remember that God has already chosen which of the souls during the Great Tribulation will be locked up, and which will be martyred. This is identified in Revelation 13:8-10. We will post this below in case you are wondering if God is calling you to this level holiness! https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%2013&version=NABRE.
“8 All the inhabitants of the earth will worship it, all whose names were not written from the foundation of the world in the book of life, which belongs to the Lamb who was slain.
9 Whoever has ears ought to hear these words.
10 Anyone destined for captivity goes into captivity.
Anyone destined to be slain by the sword shall be slain by the sword. Such is the faithful endurance of the holy ones.”
To be martyred will be for the elect, but there will be those that will go to a Refuge Community, those that are persecuted and locked up, and those that are martyred. This was also described by Ady Castaneda in her understanding from God of the four groups of people during the Great Tribulation, and we have this in a previous post.
In Revelation 6:9-11, we see those that have already been martyred for their faithful witness to the “Word of God” and again, this will be all those that have already been martyred prior to the Great Tribulation that will stand with God described as those wearing white linen in Revelation 19. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%206&version=NABRE.
Also in Revelation 7:9-17 we read about those that stand before God in His Temple and worship Him day and night as those that bear a faithful witness to the Lamb, and the Lamb being the Word of God. In the description at the bottom, it addresses those that persevere until the end and receive the proper wedding garment. We understand this to be both those that have been martyred, but also the sealed individuals that are still alive in Christ that are measured in the inner court of the Temple in Revelation 11:1-3 that are being marked with the living Seal of God. This is a measure of God’s inner Temple and those worshipping in it! https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%2011&version=NABRE.
Now, this is where the Holy Spirit gave me understanding about the relevance between Daniel, Chapter 12 and Revelation 12. In Daniel, Chapter 11, we read about Antiochus Epiphanes IV being an antichrist and torturing the Jewish people both described in 1 and 2 Maccabees. However, we read that Daniel receives a vision of a future antichrist at the end of time about a future Greek King, who will again cause the “abomination of desolation” and will again torture and kill all of those that do not worship him. This is described in Daniel 11:28-40. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Daniel%2011&version=NABRE.
We are understanding now that this is most likely a fallen angel that was locked up after the death of Antiochus Epiphanes IV that St. Michael assisted to defeat with the Maccabees. This fallen angel will be released again from the Abyss in Revelation Chapter 9, after the Fifth Trumpet is blown. The description of this fallen angel in Greek, is Apollyon, which means “Destroyer”. This same fallen angel will return to possess another antichrist, which is a man, but he will perform the same abomination of desolation by doing away with the Holy Sacrifice and forcing all men and women, to worship him with the mark he will force them to wear both on the right hand and on their foreheads. We understand this time from the Saints and Mystics, it will have to do with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass by most likely changing the words of consecration or removing the consecrated body and blood of God from the Holy Mass. You will see this in Manuela Strack’s vision we will post below. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%209&version=NABRE.
In Daniel 12, we read that St. Michael comes to the rescue of the Jewish people. This will be the Remnant from the 12 Tribes of Israel that stayed true to God the Father but also acknowledged Jesus Christ as the Messiah and Son of God. We are discerning that the Lamb of God that St. John the Apostle witnesses all the way through to Revelation 19 is a confirmation to the Jewish people that Jesus Christ is the same Lamb of God sacrificed both in the Passover Feast protecting the Jews with its blood as a place of Refuge over their doorposts as the Angel of God passed over them, being used as a chastisement against the Egyptians. This probably is also why St. Polycarp before he died as a martyr, tried to convince the Pope that Easter should be celebrated every year as the same time as the Passover Feast Day, which is on the 14th of Nissan (Jewish Passover Feast Day) and that St. Polycarp got this information directly from St. John the Apostle as himself, that we spoke about in the previous blog post. When Elijah and Enoch both testify the Truth of Jesus Christ being the Messiah they have been waiting for, a Remnant of Jewish people will convert to Christianity. We, as Christians, have a full understanding of this, but the current Jewish people today, still do not have this full understanding until it is revealed to them by God. This is why Enoch and Elijah will be testifying to this Truth, while the rest of the Christian Remnant will already be in a Refuge protected by Our Blessed Mother Mary and St. Michael and the Holy Legions of Angels, some Christians will be martyred, and some will be persecuted by being locked up as the Book of Revelation 13:9-10 tells us.
This of course takes us to Revelation 12, where we see both the Woman clothed in the Sun, with the Moon under Her feet, and a crown of 12 stars. This is both a description of God’s Church being born, and the man child that will rule the nations with an iron rod, WHO is Our Lord Jesus Christ, but also the woman is represented as Our Blessed Mother Mary, because She appears in the sky to St. John as being in God’s Temple after he witnesses the ark of the covenant just before Revelation 12 in Revelation 11:19 after the 7th Trumpet is blown. Our Blessed Mother is the “New Ark” that holds the fulfillment of God’s plan that saves all of His chosen written in the Lamb’s Book of Life. This will include the Christians that remain faithful to Him, and those Jewish people and pagans that convert to Christianity after they are given understanding from the two witnesses Enoch and Elijah. We read that St. Michael fights the fallen angels and throws them down to earth from Heaven. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%2012&version=NABRE.
When we first read this, we are thinking it is the beginning of time before Adam and Eve were created and St. Michael kicks out Lucifer and a third of the angels, but reading it now with discernment from the Holy Spirit, it looks as if St. Michael and his legions of good angels are kicking out the Thrones, Dominions and Principalities of the fallen angels from the air that influenced all the Nations of the earth (Elites) because this Dragon that is prepared to devour the Church and or Our Blessed Mother has 7 heads and 10 horns and takes its position on the sand of the sea (the world) when it cannot kill the True Church and Our Blessed Mother. The description of the First Beast in Revelation 13 as 7 heads and 10 horns! (https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%2013&version=NABRE)
And we learn that this star that has fallen that hits the earth in Revelation 9, opens the Abyss! Hmm, could this be the Elites that are being possessed themselves by Satan that have received authority from the dragon to create this amount of evil on earth? This appears to be a spiritual battle that St. Michael takes on in our Age of Sardis, and the same battle that is mentioned in Daniel 12, in which St. Michael comes to the rescue! This is the blowing of the Fifth Trumpet in Revelation 8, and when this occurs, all hell breaks loose on earth literally on those the bear the mark of the beast. Remember that Revelation 10, 11, 12, 13, and 14 are the interludes and spiritual events occurring without us possibly seeing with our physical eyes. The Seals, Trumpets, and Bowls of wrath are not interchangeable and could be events we actually do see with our physical eyes. They may overlap, but can’t be changed. So, if St. Michael is battling Satan and his fallen angels that he threw down to earth from the sky, then these same demonic entities are going to be used by God as part of His Divine Justice on all of those that refused His Divine Mercy! In the meantime, our Blessed Mother has the Refuge communities tucked away in an unknown place for 1, 260 days, while Enoch and Elijah are testifying the Truth about Our Savior and Lord, Jesus Christ. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%209&version=NABRE.
In the Book of Daniel 12, Daniel is shown that St. Michael comes to the rescue of Daniel’s people, (The Jewish People) and those that have perished that are still asleep will awaken to an everlasting life, but others to an everlasting disgrace (This imagery of a Resurrection could fulfill the understanding of the Jews not fully accepting Jesus Christ as their Messiah, and this is why some will awake to everlasting disgrace). However, we still understand from Venerable Holzhauser’s visions that not all Jews will convert to Christianity until the very end of time in the final battle of Gog and Magog in Revelation 20:8-9, and this will result in the 7th Age of the Church, which is the Church of Laodicea, in which Satan is allowed to return and tempt those at the very end of the world, after this short Era of Peace. Those still that lead others to justice will shine like the firmament! This will be a resurrection of the first fruits that gave their lives for Christ after His Resurrection. One of these Saints may even be St. Polycarp himself because the Holy Spirit pointed us to St. Polycarp a few weeks ago as having something special that we needed to take note! This Resurrection period is not the final judgement of God because that comes at the end of the world. This is only a changing of eras, or periods of time, as we have already discussed many times in this blog and Vassula Ryden of course confirmed this along with many other past and current Mystics. Those that will lead others to justice will be those that were Saints martyred for their first testimony to the “Word of God” after His Resurrection. These are the “First Fruits” standing behind God in Revelation 19:11. Here is Daniel 12 again explaining why St. John saw St. Michael and those resurrected who were asleep or dead in Christ. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Daniel%2012&version=NABRE.
This description is also given to us in 1 Corinthains 15:20-23. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20Corinthians%2015&version=NABRE.
“Christ the Firstfruits.[g] 20 But now Christ has been raised from the dead, the firstfruits[h] of those who have fallen asleep. 21 [i]For since death came through a human being, the resurrection of the dead came also through a human being. 22 For just as in Adam all die, so too in Christ shall all be brought to life, 23 but each one in proper order: Christ the firstfruits; then, at his coming, those who belong to Christ; “
In 1 Corinthians 15:20-23, Notice, if you keep reading, the end comes later. When Christ comes to fight the antichrist with the first fruits, there will be a second group of martyrs that will die and these are those martyrs that have been destined to be martyred during the Great Tribulation, these martyrs will be those described to come back with Christ that will reign with Him for the thousand years during the Era of Peace as described in Revelation 20:4. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=revelation%2020:1-6&version=NABRE.
“4 Then I saw thrones; those who sat on them were entrusted with judgment. I also saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their witness to Jesus and for the word of God, and who had not worshiped the beast or its image nor had accepted its mark[d] on their foreheads or hands. They came to life and they reigned with Christ for a thousand years.”
We have heard Divine Will teacher, Derek Williams describe these souls as the ones that will live in the Divine Will era, but it also will be the Remnant that are in the Refuge Communities and those that survive the wars and persecutions of the antichrist. These martyrs are very special to God that die in the Great Tribulation and will be priests for God during the Era of Peace. Many of these martyred during the Great Tribulation will actually be Priests that we know today that celebrate the Holy Mass, but many will be souls like us laity who try to live in God’s Divine Will through holiness and also those studying the Divine Will teaching like Derek has already described and we all will become living Tabernacles. This is our final role in the Sanctification era to fulfill the role described to us in our catechism as priests, prophets, and kings. Here is Revelation 20:6 describing these martyrs in our lifetime. “6 Blessed[e] and holy is the one who shares in the first resurrection. The second death has no power over these; they will be priests of God and of Christ, and they will reign with him for [the] thousand years.”
When this Thousand-year period is over, whether this is not literally a Thousand years as our Church Fathers teach, but could be 25 years according to Melanie’s message from Our Lady of Fatima, or 56 years according to Venerable Holzhauser, is still unknown. However, we now have full understanding of how special ALL “Martyrs” are for God! They are literally the “Blood spilled for the testimony to the Word of God”, as the seed of the Church that Tertullian has taught, and they are also whom the Lamb returns to exact His Divine Justice!
Now, what came to mind immediately when we received understanding of the Martyrs as the First Fruits and the First Resurrection after Christ is the prophetic message that Manuela Strack gave to John Paul II on the vision of the “3 Keys” in 2004 and she received this vision from Our Blessed Mother. Here is the video from Mother and Refuge of the End Times on the description of the “3 Keys”. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h1XL5riaBRg.
At the 5 minutes and 30 seconds mark, Michael Brown shares an interview he conducted with Manuela Strack many years ago involving “3 Keys given to Manuela Strack by Our Blessed Mother”. In the video, here is what the 3 Keys reveal.
1.) The first given to Manuela Strack from Our Blessed Mother was a red key. With this key, Manuela saw a vision of hell and Satan. Then she saw Islamic terrorist groups in various places carrying out terrorist acts in all parts of the world and a terrible persecution of Christians in the middle east begin with their martyrdom. She said sin reigned because what was in hell was released in full force on earth. Civil wars were taking place all over the world along with severe natural weather calamities. Then something fell from the sky, and the world briefly became like Babylon. The power of mammon supported the rulers, and a wave of violence fell upon the earth. (We are discerning this is Revelation 8 and 9 and the rulers are the elites described as the dragon in Revelation 12.)
2.) Then Our Blessed Mother placed the second gold key in Manuela’s hand. Our Blessed Mother said She is going to protect God’s children and the Marian Priests, and the Children of Mary are going to save the Church of Jesus Christ and save the world with a great sacrifice. (This is Revelation 12, and Daniel 12 speaking about the martyrs of the Church.)
3.) Then the third gold key was placed in Manuela’s hand. She saw Rome attacked and the new Pope go into hiding. (We are discerning this will be Pope Leo XIV.) She saw a false Church take hold with the good and holy Priests in danger and the Holy Eucharist also in danger. Then in 2019, Our Blessed Mother told Manuela that the Church will have a difficult 3 years, but it is the bridge to something more severe. (We are discerning this will be the first part of the 7-year Tribulation.) In 2022, Manuela had a vision of the child Jesus telling her that the Church is currently in Golgotha, but everything must be purified.
Wow! If this is not an incredible description from Manuela Strack of what is coming, we don’t know what else could be better. Here is also a video from Mother and Refuge of the End Times with Maureen Capistran, who receives messages from St. Michael. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EjXPOwZ-oiA.
Maureen tells us that St. Michael is assisting in preparing souls for the final battle in these times. As we are learning how to hear God’s voice, we must also ask God what our role for is for Him in His Divine Will in this Age of Sardis. Many of us are looking at these messages to see if we are those that will be protected in God’s Refuges. However, the level of holiness that we achieve through martyrdom is beyond comparison to other levels of holiness as we continue to understand God’s Holy Scriptures. We must not be afraid to die, but fully TRUST in Our Lord to protect our souls from eternal death. When listening to Ady Castaneda several weeks ago, she said something quite eye opening. She said that many souls are going to be taken during this time. Not in a rapture event, but a natural death of the body because God will take the soul when He knows the soul is at its highest level of holiness, and moving forward into the Tribulation might cause the soul to stumble in sin. Wow! That is just something we never consider because we are always consumed about being protected from all danger and disaster. I would rather God choose for me what I best for my soul now, then my weaknesses of my flesh cause me to stumble back into sin and risk losing my place at the wedding banquet with the Lamb of God and almighty king. Here are Maureen’s Capistran’s instruction and lessons from St. Michael for us to be protected against the enemy in these times. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EjXPOwZ-oiA.
1.) Expose the enemies lies.
2.) Closing Spiritual doors through Confession and Forgiveness.
3.) Trusting when Heaven holds silence.
4.) Obedience to promptings and small details.
At the 7 minutes mark, St. Michael tells Maureen that a network of souls is being prepared to act for God during the Great Tribulation. These souls St. Michael is preparing are being trained by the steps above to act for God when the Spiritual battle increases as described in Daniel 12, verses 1 and 3. This is a very good, because as we move deeper into the Tribulation period, even though God seems distant because we don’t have His consolations and we are tested by God through our many trials for Sanctification, we have to remind ourselves that we are being prepared by God and His Angels to be ready for even greater trials that we can’t even imagine. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Daniel%2012&version=NABRE.
If God is training us now for His Divine Will, we must also understand that when the time comes, we will know by God’s grace if we are to be martyred, or persecuted and locked up as we understand God told us through Revelation 13:9-10. So, our prayer must be to live perpetually in God’s Divine Will so that no matter what comes our way as His Disciples, we are prepared because we have Surrendered our sous into His hands to be the saints He is calling us to be for Him.
Let us Pray – Heavenly Father, You have sent Your Son, the unblemished Lamb to save us from our sins and from eternal death. We are each praying for Your Divine Will and we are completely Surrendered to Your Divine Love and Divine Will for us, and pray for Your Heavenly Legions of Angels along with our Guardian Angels to protect us but also guide us in these times with Your Divine Light, Wisdom and Knowledge that only that You provide in moments of distress. Keep us under Your wings of protection per Psalm 91, so that every step we make, our souls are also protected from any of our weaknesses that cause us to sin. We pray for all of the gifts of Your Holy Spirit, to include evangelization, discernment of spirits, healing, prophetic words of knowledge and understanding, and a portion of the gifts given to Our Blessed Mother who is Fullof Grace. We ask this in Your Son’s mighty name, Jesus Christ. Amen.
If you haven’t listened to this video from Ady Castaneda about why God takes souls at their holiest point, especially during the Great Tribulation, here it is again in shorter version. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IdMYzf6D6Ls.
Here are the latest Prophetic messages on Call of the Kingdom website. https://www.callofthekingdom.com/.
Latest prophetic messages on After the Warning website. https://afterthewarning.com/.
Here is Cardinal Raymond Burke teaching Shawn Ryan the way to keep demonic temptations and sin away from us. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HxUrFAHgQCc.
Cardinal Burke stated in this interview, that the Prayers that Repel demons are St. Michael prayer, invoking St. Joseph, Our Blessed Mother, and the prayer to Our Lord, “Have Mercy on us.”. Also, the Holy Rosary. If you have never prayed a Holy Rosary, here are the instructions because Our Blessed Mother is here to protect us, along with St. Michael, and St. Joseph. Notice, also in the silent apparition of Our Lady of Knock, the Lamb of God was on the altar, St. Joseph was also present, and Our Blessed Mother was in the center. All of the Angels will be carrying out the Will of the Father during the Great Tribulation, and this is why we ask our Guardian Angel and St. Michael to assist us. However, because we should already be consecrated through the Immaculate Heart of Our Blessed Mother to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, we call upon the intercession of the Holy Family to assist us.
Here is the interview portion with Cardinal Burke where he said he believes we are reliving the days of Sodom and Gomorrah, where God chastises these two cities for their sins. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uKPbaPL_dpo.
Here are the prayers of the Holy Rosary. The more mysteries you can pray in a day the closer Our Blessed Mother promises to bring you more quickly to Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, through a reflection of His life and suffering. Father Stefano Gobbi also received a message from Our Blessed Mother that it will be the prayers of the Holy Rosary prayed by the Faithful that She will use along with the Angels assistance to bind and lock Satan up for a Thousand years. https://www.theholyrosary.org/rosaryprayers/.
Here is a fantastic reversion story about the amazing interview that Cardinal Burke and Shawn Ryan. Wow! The Holy Spirit is working through all souls now! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rA4_KrUXsEI.
A prayer of Thanksgiving.
Let us Pray – Lord, We Love You! We are so grateful and thankful for Your Love and patience with us and our repeated sinful behavior. We are all sinners, and we are all appealing now to Your Divine Mercy. Please guide us daily through Your Holy Spirit and our Guardian Angels on how all of our acts can be in Your Divine Will and pleasing to You. Thank you, Lord, for all of the gifts you have given us thus far, and we pray for all of our family members and friends to be reverted back to Your Sacred Heart if they have fallen away due to their own sins. We pray this sinner’s prayer in Your name, Jesus Christ. Amen. https://www.catholicprayershub.com/sinners-prayer/.
Emmanuel – “God is with Us.” Jesus, We Trust in You. Most Precious Blood of Jesus Christ, save us and the whole world, have Mercy on us sinners. Abba, Father, Thy Will Be Done.
