There are two “Obvious Prophecies” from God in Jeremiah 7:23-28! Obvious Prophecy #1: “Thus says the LORD: ‘This is what I commanded My people: ‘Listen to My voice; then I will be your God and you shall be My people.’ Obvious Prophesy #2: ‘Walk in all the ways that I command you, so that you may prosper.'”
Jeremiah tells us that it is not enough to “listen” if we want to “prosper”. We must be “obedient” to His “commands”.
The “Hidden Prophecy”: The immortal souls of those who choose to believe that “prospering” on earth is more important than “obedience” to God cannot have the eternal joy of “prospering” forever in Heaven.
In Mt. 16:18, He Who Fulfilled the Messianic Prophecies told the first Catholics who literally “walked in His ways” how to let every immortal soul “prosper” forever! “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.”
The immortal souls of those who refuse to “walk in His ways” would not Be Catholic and “prosper” eternally by getting the “keys to The Kingdom of Heaven”. They include the Seven Catholic Sacraments: Baptism, Confession/Absolution, Communion with the Miracle of Transubstantiation, Confirmation, Marriage, and Healing. God gives those “keys to The Kingdom of Heaven” to those blessed to follow His “Holy Orders“. Catholic priests and religious serve God and His people by living in Celibacy, Poverty, and Obedience. They “prosper” in Heaven more than any mere billionaire on earth!
There is a “Hidden Prophecy” of why we should Be Catholic in Today’s Psalm 95: 1-2, 6-9: “If today you hear His voice, harden not your hearts… let us kneel before The LORD Who made us.”
If we let our “hearts be too hardened” to “kneel before The Lord Who made us” when He appears by The Miracle of Transubstantiation at every Catholic Mass since Christ’s Last Supper, 2,000 years ago, we are not being as “obedient” as we could. That vanity keeps billions of immortal souls from “prospering” forever.
May we all be blessed to Be Catholic and “kneel before The Lord Who Made us” as our Catholic priests transform bread and wine into The Body and Blood of Christ “before us” and have That Holy Food forever be “within us” so our soul may “prosper” forever!
May all be blessed to ask God to let our souls be forever among God’s “obedient rocks” who build the walls of Christ’s One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church.
