Acts 5:17-26 tells us what drove some of the first Protestants to hate Catholics! “The high priest rose up and all his companions, that is the party of the Sadducees, and filled with jealousy, laid hands on the Apostles and put them in the public jail.”
“Jealousy” is the “The One-Word Hidden Prophecy” that explains why many people hate Catholics so much that they have been “putting them in the public jail” for the past 2,000 years!
What makes them “jealous”? Jesus! He only Spoke One Church Into Being with His Church-Creating Word 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.”
Many are “jealous” because He Who Fulfilled Hundreds of Messianic Prophecies did not reappear on earth and specifically tell inventors and followers of countless Religious Marketing Plans, in front of witnesses: “I am building My Church on you!”
Every person on earth is smart enough to see that today’s Simple Bible Reading: “the party of the Sadducees, filled with jealousy, laid hands on the Apostles and put them in the public jail.” is God’s “Hidden Prophecy” of what would happen to millions of Catholics for the next 2,000 years. Everyone who studies History knows that the most “jealous” people are always “putting Catholics in the public jail”!
The question that all “jealous” people should ask? “How can I get God to love me as much as He loves every Catholic who respects Him enough to obey His Only Church-Creating Word?”
He Who Fulfilled the Prophecies left His answer! Every “jealous” person on earth could choose to be blessed to have “the keys to The Kingdom of Heaven” ( The Seven Catholic Sacraments), by asking Jesus to let us be forever among:
“You are My friends if you obey My commands.” (John 20:23)
