Isaiah 40:1-11 predicts the “end of Jerusalem” in a kind and loving way! “Comfort, give comfort to My people,’ says your God. ‘Speak tenderly to Jerusalem, and proclaim to her that her service is as an end, her guilt is expiated; indeed, she has received from the hand of the Lord double for all her sins.’”
A hundred and fifty years after Isaiah revealed that Prophecy, Jerusalem was captured by King Nebuchadnezzar II in 586 BC. Her people were deported to Babylon.
Jerusalem received “double for all her sins” in 70 AD. Titus literally “flattened” the city, leaving, as Jesus Prophesied in Mt. 24:2, “not one stone was left standing upon another.” The “doubling” continued with Jerusalem’s defeats in the Kitos Wars, from 115-117 AD, and the Bar Kokhba Revolt, put down in 135 AD. In 351 AD, the last rebellion was put down in Sepphoris, in Northern Israel, by Gallus.
Isaiah still tells us to Be Catholic! “In the desert prepare the way of The Lord! Make straight in the wasteland a highway for our God!… Then, the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all people shall see it together; for the mouth of The Lord has spoken.”
Catholics are blessed to obey what “the mouth of The Lord has spoken” when He Who Fulfilled over 300 Prophecies Spoke One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic 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.”
Those “keys to The Kingdom of Heaven” include the Seven Catholic Sacraments that cure the “Confusion Headaches” that come from ignoring He Whom The Prophets Predicted.
One of those Sacraments fulfills this Prophecy of Isaiah 40:11 that specifically refers to Jesus: “Like a shepherd, He feeds His flock!”
May all be blessed to cure every “Confusion Headache” by heeding what He Who Fulfilled The Prophecies told us 14 times about Catholic Communion: “If you do not eat My Body and drink My Blood, you do not have life in you.”
Only Catholics recognize The Loving Power of God to Ordain His Catholic priests with the authority to provide That Holy Food by The Miracle of Transubstantiation at every Catholic Mass since The Last Supper.
