Early Protestants removed The Book of Wisdom from their Bibles five hundred years ago because it was “Too Catholic”! Wisdom 2:1, 12-22 has “Hidden Prophecies” that predict what the first Protestants would think and say about He Who Fulfilled the Messianic Prophecies:
“The wicked said among themselves, thinking not aright, ‘Let us beset The Just One, because He is obnoxious to us; He sets Himself against our doings, reproaches us for transgressions of the law, and charges us with violations of our training.'”
Their spiritual descendants continue to make a living by getting their donors to believe The Specific, Church-Creating Word of Jesus to His First Catholic Pope is “obnoxious”: “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.”
Then, the Prophetic Book of Wisdom predicted how Protestants would describe Words that Jesus would say! “He professes to have knowledge of God and styles Himself a child of the LORD. To us, He is the censure of our thoughts; merely to see Him is a hardship for us (A “Hidden Prophecy” foretelling that many Protestants would remove images of Him from their churches!) because His life is not like that of others, and different are His ways.” They reject any of His “ways” because they are “different” from the self-serving “ways” of thinking that their donors want them to follow.
One “difference of His ways” to the “ways” of the predicted Protestants prefer is clear: Unlike them, His Catholic priests and religious take Holy Vows to live as Jesus did, in Celibacy, Poverty, and Obedience!
More “Hidden Prophecies” in The Book of Wisdom predicted those who would worship their self-serving opinions more than God: “He judges us debased; He holds aloof from our paths as from things impure. He calls ‘blessed’ the destiny of the just and boasts that God is His Father. (A “Hidden Prophecy” of how they would twist the Words He Spoke in John 20:17 “I am ascending to My Father and your Father” to avoid thinking about The Holy Trinity!)
Then, we see the Book of Wisdom’s “Hidden Prophecy” of how the first anti-Catholics would “test” with Him with Crucifixion! “Let us see whether His words be true; let us find out what will happen to Him. For if the just one be The Son of God, He will defend Him and deliver Him from the hand of His foes. With revilvment and torture, let us put Him to the test that we may have proof of His gentleness and try His patience.”
More “Unhidden Prophecies” of Jesus follow in the Predictions of Protestantism, where self-righteous love of self continues to rule! “Let us condemn Him to a shameful death; for according to His own Words, ‘God will take care of Him’. These were their thoughts, but they erred; for their wickedness blinded them, and they knew not the hidden counsels of God; neither did they count on a recompense of holiness nor discern the innocent souls’ reward.”
That last phrase is a “Hidden Prophecy” of God’s Blessed Catholic Martyrs and all Catholics blessed by Absolution from our priests, “Those whose sins you forgive on earth are forgiven in Heaven” (John 20:23). Those among “You are My friends if you obey My commands.” (John 15:14) would have our immortal souls blessed with God’s eternal “reward” by getting and keeping “the keys to The Kingdom of Heaven”, forever!
