2,700 years ago, 1 Samuel 4:1-11 tells us the Philistines attacked Israel.
Prophecy #1: “The Philistines said, ‘Gods have come to their camp.’ “Philistines” are always those who cannot tell the difference between “God” and the fallen angels they worship! Samuel predicted what would happen for the next 700 years as their “camp” in Jerusalem was destroyed, their people moved to Babylon and would return to rebuild God’s Temple.
Prophecy #2: “The Philistines said also, “Woe to us! This has never happened before (That we have attacked the People of God.). Woe to us! Who can deliver us from the power of these mighty gods?” They thought God’s angels who “struck the Egyptians with various plagues and with pestilence’ were “gods”, like the fallen angels they worshipped. “Take courage and be manly, Philistines; otherwise you will become slaves to the Hebrews, as they were your slaves. So fight manfully!” against the People of God.
Prophecy #3: ‘The Philistines fought, and Israel was defeated; every man fled to his own tent.” is a Prophecy of Protestantism. It has been fulfilled for the past 2,000 years as self-serving people have been “fleeing to their own tents”! Each “tent” is a religious marketing plan that takes form in denominations followed by the lost in every generation.
Prophecy #4: Today’s Psalm 44:10,11,14,15,24,25 are Prophecies of what God would let Protestants, who were then “Philistines”, do to Catholics when His People disobeyed: “Yet now You have cast us off and put us in disgrace… You have let us be driven back by out foes; those who hated us and plundered us at will… You have made us the reproach of our neighbors, the mockery and scorn of those around us… a laughingstock among the peoples… our souls are bowed down to the dust, our bodies pressed against the earth…” and still we pray: “Redeem us, Lord, because of Your mercy.”
Catholics realize that “Philistines” have spent the last 2,000 years “fighting manfully” against The Body of Christ Spoken Into Being on Earth by Words of The Prophesied Messiah Who IS The Son of God:
“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.”
Catholics find Salvation in Prophecy #5 from Matthew 4:23: “Jesus preached the Gospel of The Kingdom and cured every disease among the people.” For 2,000 years, His Church has provided Seven Catholic Sacraments to “cure” the “Confusion Headaches” of pride, envy, greed, gluttony, anger, lust, and sloth that infect those who deny The Bible’s Words of He Who Fulfilled over 300 Messianic Prophecies.
