Today’s “Hidden Prophecies” begin with Jeremiah 11:18-20. “I knew their plot because the LORD informed me; at that time You, O LORD, showed me their doings.” Their “doings” reveal the self-centered minds working against those who innocently strive to obey Moses and Jesus: “Love God and our neighbors as ourselves.”
A “Hidden Prophesy” of Catholic innocence lets us see: “Yet I, like a trusting lamb led to slaughter, had not realized they were hatching plots against me: ‘Let us destroy the tree in its vigor; let us cut him off from the land of the living so that his name will be spoken no more.'”
That “Hidden Prophecy” predicts every attack on those blessed to strive for obedience to The Church-Creating Word of Jesus 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.”
Then, this “Hidden Prophecy” foretells us what His Prophets and believers may request from God: “But You, O LORD of hosts, O just Judge, searcher of mind and heart, let me witness the vengeance You take on them.” Do we get to see demons tormenting the souls of those in hell from the windows made of “jasper, clear as crystal” in Heaven? (Rev 21:11)
Today’s Psalm 7:2-3 is a “Hidden Prophecy” of prayful Catholics: “O Lord, my God, in You I take refuge… save me from my pursuers and rescue me, lest I become like the lion’s prey to be torn to pieces with no one to rescue me… let the malice of the wicked come to an end, but sustain the just… “
Luke 8:18, our Verse Before the Gospel, is a “Hidden Prophecy” of the eternal rewards God gives to those who hear God’s Words clearly enough to “Be Catholic”! “Blessed are they who have kept the word with a generous heart and yield a harvest through perseverance.”
The self-serving confusion of those who reject He Who Fulfilled the Messianic Prophecies is a “Hidden Prophesy” in Today’s Gospel from John 7:40-53. We learn that many who saw and heard Jesus were blessed to realize: “This is the Christ!” Those who hated for anyone to know that insisted: “Christ must be of David’s family, and come from Bethlehem, the village where David lived.” These unbelievers ignored the Prophet Isaiah’s Words about Mary. She was born of “the House of David” (Isaiah 7:14) and “gave birth to Him in Bethlehem” (Micah 5:2)! They ignored the Prophets they claimed to follow! That is a “Hidden Prophecy” of Protestantism.
Those whose lives were centered on protecting their jobs and status asked the guards who did not arrest Jesus: “Have you also been deceived?…. this crowd, which does not know the law, is accursed.” That is a “Hidden Prophecy” of what many Protestants would say about “crowds”, numbering billions of Catholics for the next 2,000 years!
Many who rejected The Church-Creating Word of Jesus invented tens of thousands of denominations in the last 2,000 years. They have either disappeared or are in the process of doing so. They, and their followers, were predicted in this “Hidden Prophecy”!
“Then, each went to his own house.”
