Every person on earth is in this “Hidden Catholic Prophesy” from Ezekiel 34:1-11! We are all victims of vicious “shepherds” he described in every time and place: “You fed off their milk, wore their wool, and slaughtered the fatlings, … but the sheep (people and families) you have not pastured. You did not strengthen the weak nor heal the sick nor bind up the injured. You did not strengthen the weak nor heal the sick nor bind up the injured. You did not bring back the strayed nor seek the lost, but you lorded it over them harshly and brutally.”
The Prophet Ezekiel shares God’s Promise about the fate of every self-serving “shepherd” on earth:
“Thus says The Lord GOD: ‘I swear I am coming after these shepherds. I will claim My sheep from them… I will save My sheep, that they may no longer be food for their mouths.'”
Today, Ezekiel 36:23-28 connects that reading to the “Hidden Catholic Prophecy” about those blessed to be as Catholic as they can! “For then, I will take you from all the foreign lands (different religions on earth), and bring you back to your own land. I will sprinkle clear water on you to cleanse you from all your impurities.”
That is The Prophet Ezekiel’s blessed Prophecy of Baptism! That Catholic Sacrament prepares us for The Catholic Sacraments that follow: “Confession/Absolution, Communion, Confirmation, Healing, Marriage, and God’s Holy Orders. Catholics are blessed because we have been receiving “keys to The Kingdom of Heaven” since the day that He Who Fulfulfilled The Messianic Prophecies said to His First Catholic Pope, and no one else on earth:
“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.”
May all be blessed to respect God’s Prophets enough to be as Catholic as we can and be “shepherded” by those who love God and their neighbors enough to be among our Catholic priests and religious. They prove their Faith is in God, and not in earthly concerns, by taking Holy Vows of Chastity, Poverty, and Obedience.
God’s most blessed “sheep” have His Catholic priests and religious as our “shepherds”. Who could be more blessed with God’s Guidance?
