. Only Catholics can connect Isaiah’s Divine Vision of Heaven with The Power Jesus Christ gives Catholic priests on earth.
~
Question 1: “What ‘Connections’ can only Catholics make?”
Answer: “First, only Catholics can ‘connect’ this word of Isaiah in The Bible to the ‘Absolution’ that Catholics receive after a ‘Good Confession‘.”
~
Question 2: “What word of Isaiah ‘connects’ with that?”
Answer: “Isaiah 6:1-8 tells us what happened ‘the year that year that King Uzziah died’. Around 750 BC, Isaiah was taken to, or given this vision of, Heaven. He saw God, His Throne, Temple, and Garment. He heard what God’s Angels said in praise of God!
‘They cried one to the other, ‘Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of hosts! All the earth is filled with his glory!’ At the sound of that cry, the frame of the door shook and the house was filled with smoke.‘”
~
Question 3: “How did Isaiah react?”
“Isaiah knew how wretchedly sinful he was! ‘Then I said, “Woe is me, I am doomed! For I am a man of unclean lips, living among a people of unclean lips; yet my eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts!’”
~
Question 4: “Did Isaiah tell us happened after that?”
Answer: “‘Then one of the seraphim flew to me, holding an ember that he had taken with tongs from the altar. He touched my mouth with it and said, ‘See, now that this has touched your lips, your wickedness is removed, your sin purged.’”
~
Question 5: “What ‘Connection’ can only Catholics make to that?”
Answer: “Only Catholics can see The Power of God’s ’ember’ was brought to earth by Jesus Christ! He gave The Power of God’s ’ember’ to ‘purge’ sins to every Catholic priest with This Word! ‘Those whose sins you forgive on earth are forgiven in Heaven.’ ”
The ‘Connection’ is clear! God gives every Catholic priest The Power of His ’ember’ to ‘remove our wickedness’ and ‘purge us of our sins’! Every Catholic priest is Ordained with The Power of ‘the ember taken with tongs from the altar’. Catholic priests, unlike angels, do not even need to use ‘tongs’ to handle That Power of God!”
~
Question 6: “How else is every Catholic priest ‘connected’ to the same thing Isaiah did?”
Answer: “The second ‘Connection’ is clear! Every Catholic priest hears the same question from God that Isaiah heard! ‘I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send? Who will go for us?’. Every man blessed to become a Catholic priest gives the same answer Isaiah did: ‘Here I am,’ I said; ‘send me!’”
~
Question 7: “Do Catholics make any other ‘Connections’ from that Passage?”
Answer: “The third ‘Connection’ is what Isaiah heard next! ‘Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, whom shall I send?’ That is followed by ‘Who will go for us? That is The Voice of God. He is ‘connecting’ Catholics with The Holy Trinity. ‘I’ is ‘us’! God is The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit.”
