Today’s Reading tells us that 3,000 years of Prophecies let some of us hear and obey “The Hidden Command” from Jesus Christ, Himself!
~
Question 1: “Is Today’s Reading in 2 Samuel 7:4-17 a Prophecy”
Answer: “That Reading tells us that David’s ‘heir’ was coming: ‘I will raise up your heir after you, sprung from your loins, and I will make His Kingdom firm. It is he who shall build a house for my name.'”
~
Question 2: “Was God predicting that Solomon would build The Temple with materials and Authority left to him by David, or was God predicting Jesus when He said: ‘And I will make his royal throne firm forever. I will be a father to him, and He shall be a Son to Me.’?”
Answer: “God was predicting this would happen: 1. Solomon would build God’s House. 2. Jesus would come and predict that ‘not one stone will be left standing’ (Mt.24:2) from that ‘House’. 3. The Roman Catholic Church, Spoken Into Being by Jesus Christ, would ‘endure forever before Me; your throne shall stand firm forever.’ would come into being?”

Question 3: “Does Today’s Psalm, 89:29-30, validate those Prophecies that Nathan revealed to King David?
Answer: “Yes. ‘Forever I will maintain My love for him; My covenant with him stands firm. I will establish His dynasty forever, His throne as the days of the heavens.’”
~
Question 4: “What do Catholics make of That Prophecy from God to Nathan to David to us?”
Answer: “Luke 8:11 explains that. ‘The seed is the word of God, Christ is the sower; all who come to Him will live forever.’”
~
Question 5: “If God has been telling us to ‘Be Catholic!’ for three thousand years, why aren’t more people in The Chuch He Spoke Into Being with His Holy Word: ‘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: “Catholics are the only people who are choose to obey ‘The Hidden Command’ in Mark 4:1-24! ‘Jesus said to them, ‘Hear this! A sower went out to sow. And as he sowed, some seed fell on the path, and the birds came and ate it up.
Other seed fell on rocky ground where it had little soil. It sprang up at once because the soil was not deep. And when the sun rose, it was scorched and it withered for lack of roots.
Some seed fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked it and it produced no grain.
And some seed fell on rich soil and produced fruit. It came up and grew and yielded thirty, sixty, and a hundredfold.”
He added, “Whoever has ears to hear should hear.'”
~
Question 6: “What is The Hidden Command of Jesus that tells us to be Catholic?”
Answer: “‘The Hidden Command of Jesus’ is This Direct Order that is also in Mt. 11-15! ‘Whoever has ears to hear should hear.’”
~
Everyone who takes The Prophecies and Jesus meaningfully ‘should’ be in The Only Church to Whom He gave ‘the keys to The Kingdom of Heaven’. May all be blessed to love God enough to both hear and obey “That Hidden Command”.

The best book of the last Century is <em>“The Diary of St. Faustina”</em>. It lets each of us realize how much Jesus loves our soul. http://www.seraphim.my/divinemercy/diary/text/DiaryI.htm
A few of our free books are listed below. They are shared by Catholic Missionaries (who may include you!) as anonymous as the unnamed believers identified by The Disciples of Jesus in <em>Luke 10:1-22</em>.
These free books are interesting. The anonymous author is an inventor with the unusual qualification of having over 160 U.S. Patents. He shares simple reasons to be Catholic.

This look at “The Book of Revelation” helps us use our computer skills to understand the most complicated Book in The Bible! Catholics know more than we realize. We understand that every email we have written is also inscribed in our “Book of Life” that Jesus will read at our Judgment! https://catholicfundamentalism.com/the-book-of-revelation
The books are free. They cannot be bought. How often do we find that?
