Those who love worldly things more than God and their neighbors run the risk of eternal agony.

Question 1: “What did God ‘write’ to a ‘King’ who put himself ‘before God’?”
Answer: “He wrote these words in The Book of Daniel (5:1-28) to Belshazzar and every King on earth: ‘Mene’, ‘Tekel’, and ‘Peres’.”
~
Question 3: “What do those Words of God mean?”
Answer: “Daniel explains: ‘Mene’ means that God has numbered your kingdom and put an end to it; ‘Tekel’ means that you have been weighed on the scales and found wanting; ‘Peres’, means that your kingdom has been divided and given to the Medes and Persians.'”
~
Question 4: “Does that happen to every ‘King’ who would rather be praised by ‘thousands of Lords’ instead of loving God and their neighbors?”
Answer: “In Luke 21:12-19 Jesus tells us what those kind of ‘Kings’ do to God’s Chosen People! ‘Jesus said to the crowd: ‘They will seize and persecute you, they will hand you over to the synagogues (‘synogogues’ symbolize all religions controlled by ‘kings’) and to prisons, and they will have you led before kings and governors because of My Name.’”
~
Question 5: “What happens to people who most meaningfully love God and their neighbors?”
Answer: “Jesus was very clear about our earthly fate! ‘It will lead to your giving testimony. Remember, you are not to prepare your defense beforehand, for I myself shall give you a wisdom in speaking that all your adversaries will be powerless to resist or refute.’ We will have the opportunity to share God’s Words with those who hate Him.“
~
Question 6: “Who will give us to the forces of worldly people?”
Answer: “Our relatives, friends, and neighbors! ‘You will even be handed over by parents, brothers, relatives, and friends, and they will put some of you to death.’”
~
Question 7: “What is the goal of those who most meaningfully love, respect, and obey Jesus?”
Answer: “We should pray to be forever among these Holy Men and Women: ‘You will be hated by all because of My Name, but not a hair on your head will be destroyed. By your perseverance you will secure your lives.’”
~
Question 8: “Should Catholics be prepared to be persecuted for obeying This Word of Jesus: ‘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.’?”
Answer: “We cannot ‘secure the lives’ of our souls if we live in Willful Disobedience to Any Word of Jesus Christ.”
~
May we all be blessed to ask Jesus Christ for the grace to be among His Chosen People when He Judges our soul: ‘You are My friends if you obey My commands.’”
