Question 1:  “How do Catholic ‘Jesus Receivers’ connect The Prophet Isaiah to the Psalms, Jesus, and us?”

Answer:  “Today’s Catholic Reading from Isaiah 40:1-11 includes: ‘Speak tenderly to Jerusalem and proclaim to her that her service is at an end.’  Catholics know ‘her service’ officially ‘ended’ by 70AD when God had Vespasian and Titus flatten Jerusalem.  That was about 18 years after God had Peter move The Headquarters of The Catholic Church to Rome.”

Catholic ‘Jesus Receivers’ understand that ‘the glory of The Lord shall be revealed’ when Rome replaced Jerusalem as ‘the high mountain’ from which ‘the cities of Judah’ would hear Isaiah’s Words echoing: ‘say to the cities of Judah, ‘Here is your God’ then referred to Rome, where your God now ‘stands forever’!

Question 2:  “Do The Psalms reinforce Isaiah’s Prophecy?”

Answer:  “Psalms 96:1-3 and 10-13 include:  ‘Sing to The Lord a New Song (His New Testament!) all you lands (where the world-wide Catholic Church is present) announces His salvation, day after day.’  ‘He shall rule the world with justice and the peoples with consistency.’   The Catholic Church is the Only Organization on Earth with enough ‘consistency’ to have not changed any Teaching that kept Catholics from being more obedient to God and following the Successors of Peter for 2,000 years!”

~

Question 3:  “Do other Prophets join with Isaiah and The Psalms in predicting The Catholic Church?”

Answer:  “Zephaniah 1:14-16 is clear!  ‘The great day of The Lord is near;  Beh0ld, He comes to save us.’

~

Question 4:  “Does every Prophet and Psalm agree with The Goal of Jesus that takes form in a simple question from Mt. 18:12-14: ‘Jesus said to His disciples: ‘What is your opinion?  If a man has a hundred sheep and one of them goes astray, will he not leave the ninety-nine in the hills and go in search of the stray?’

Then, Jesus answers His Question!  ‘And if he finds it, amen, I say to you, he rejoices more over it than over the ninety-nine that did not stray.’

Then, Jesus reinforces that answer with A Word of The Father to The Son! ‘In just the same way, it is not the will of your Heavenly Father that one of these little ones be lost.’

~

Question 5:  “How do Catholics keep from being among ‘one of these little ones’ who are ‘lost’?”

Answer:  “We do not ‘lose’ our grip on the Seven Sacramental ‘keys’ Jesus gave to His First Catholic Pope!  ‘And I say unto you thou art Peter and on this rock I build My Church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.  I give you the keys to The Kingdom of Heaven.’

~

Today’s Simple Rhyme:  “One thing I ask: Dear God, PLEASE!  /  Let me have and keep those ‘keys’!”
