Today, Psalm 25:4-7 reminds us to ask God to “Remember Your mercies, O Lord.”, and then to ask for this blessing: “Your ways, O LORD, make known to me; teach me Your paths, and teach me, for You are God, my Savior.” We see an important prayer for older people! “The sins of my youth and my frailties remember not…”
We then see the importance of “humble obedience” to Him! “Good and upright is the LORD: thus He shows sinners the way. He guides the humble to justice and teaches the humble His way.”
Those “humble” enough to respect God’s Words realize these two specific Bible Words, “His way”, may be seen as a “Hidden Catholic Prophecy” that predicts the Church-Creating Word of Jesus Christ, The Prophesied Messiah, 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.’”
For 2,000 years, The Roman Catholic Church has been clear about the need for Confession and Absolution regarding this aspect of “His way”:
“Procuring a completed abortion incurs an automatic excommunication that keeps a soul from Heaven.”
Protestants, for most of the last 500 years, have also agreed that it is a terrible sin.
Jewish believers who are close to God also realize that His 6th Commandment, “Thou shalt not kill.” encourages them to be “Pro-Life”. That is reinforced in Genesis 4:10. After Cain murdered his brother, The Lord said to him: “‘What have you done? Listen! Your brother’s blood cries out to Me from the ground.’”
Many see the Catholic Connection with Revelation 6:9-11. “When He opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the word of God and for the witness they had borne.”
Catholics are blessed to realize that every baby is a living “word of God”. May none be “slain for the witness they had borne.”
That “Hidden Catholic Prophecy” connects to us! Those who encouraged or voted for the “words of God” to be “slain” are predicted to receive “vengeance” on Judgment Day: “They cried out with a loud voice, ‘O Sovereign Lord, holy and true, how long before You will judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth.”
Pro-Life people are blessed to consider:“Those who encourage candidates to support deadly sins expose their souls to God’s “vengeance”.
May every voter read and share that consideration. Candidates may want to ask: “Do those who want me to support neighbor-hurting positions hate me enough to praise me for bringing God’s ‘vengeance’ on my own soul? Do the biggest donors hate me the most?”
Another question: “Is it better not to vote than to vote for anyone who does not love God and their neighbors?”
