God blesses Catholics to see “The Seraphim Connection” in Numbers 21:4-9! The “saraph” that God told Moses to make of bronze and put on a pole so people “look up to it and be healed” has been replaced by Christ on the Cross!
Catholics are blessed to realize that “Seraphs” are God’s blessed “Angels among ‘The Seraphim’.” Isaiah 6:1-3 explains: “… I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple. Above it stood the seraphim: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly.” (Isaiah 6:1–3)
Catholics see that Jesus Fulfilled The Messianic Prophecies and that His Catholic Popes and people are the living embodiments of The Church-Creating Word He Spoke to His First Catholic Pope 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.”
Every time a Catholic sees an image of Christ on the Cross, we are looking at He Whom “The Seraphim” worship and serve! A “Hidden Prophecy” must be considered: Groups confused by marketing plans that insult Moses, his Jewish believers, and Catholics by calling us “idol-worhipers” keep themselves from God’s Healing Power to the exact degree they refuse to “Look upon the Seraphim and be healed.”!
Today’s Gospel from John 8:21-30 has a “Hidden Prophecy”: those who refuse to follow the “Seraphim” condemn their immortal souls! “Jesus said to the Pharisees: ‘I am going away and you will look for Me, but you will die in your sin. Where I am going, you cannot come.'”
The only way the Pharisees could make sense out of that was to show how self-righteous they were by asking: “He is not going to kill Himself, is He, because He said ‘Where I am going you cannot come.’?”
Jesus gave them His “Unhidden Prophecy” by saying: “You belong to what is below, I belong to what is above. You belong to this world, but I do not belong to this world. That is why I told you that you will die in your sins. For if you do not believe that I AM, you will die in your sins.'”
Then, Jesus told all who are blessed to Be Catholic: “‘The One Who sent Me is with Me. He has not left Me alone, because I always do what is pleasing to Him.'”
Catholics do what is “pleasing to Him” every time we respect He Whom The Seraphim serve by honoring His Image on a Cross!
