Isaiah 1:10, 16:20 is a Prophecy that begins by telling us to remember what happened to those who disobeyed God in the past! “Hear the Word of The LORD, princes of Sodom! Listen to the instruction of our God, people of Gomorrah!”
The Prophet tells all to “Wash yourselves clean! (a Prophecy of Baptism)”, Put away your misdeeds from before My eyes; cease doing evil; learn to do good. Make justice your aim: redress the wronged, hear the orphan’s plea, defend the widow. (“Love your neighbor” and be saved!)
“Come now, let us set things right, says The LORD: Though your sins be like scarlet, they may become white as snow (A Prophecy of Catholic Confession/Absolution); Though they may be crimson red, they may become white as wool.”
“If you are willing, and obey, you shall eat the good things of the land (Catholic Communion is predicted); but if you refuse and resist, the sword shall consume you: for the mouth of The LORD has spoken!”
Today’s Psalm 50:8-9, 16, 17, 21 & 23 gives us another Prophecy of who may be saved: “To the upright (Those who heed God’s Prophets and Word) I will show the saving power of God… I take from your house no bullock, no goats out of your fold (Gifts of Catholic Sacraments will be given to the obedient). Those who reject God are identified: “Why do you recite My statutes, and profess My Covenant with your mouith, though you hate discipline and cast My Words behind you?”
Then, those who condemn themselves are clearly described! “When you do these things, shall I be deaf to it? Or, do you think that I am like yourself?” (That is the perfect Prophecy predicting those who curse themselves by pulling God down to their level.)
Today, another Prophet predicts those who would be saved, Ezekiel 18:31, “‘Cast away from you all the crimes you have committed,’ says The LORD, ‘and make for yourselves a new heart and a new spirit.'”
Then, we see Prophecies from Jesus about how we should obey lost souls who have earthly authority in Mt. 23:1-12: “‘The scribes and the Pharisees have taken their seat on the chair of Moses. Therefore, do and observe all things whatsoever they tell you, but do not follow their example.” The self-condemning souls are identified: “For they preach, but they do not practice. They tie up heavy burdens hard to carry and lay them on people’s souls.” (Their zeal for excessive tithing is prophesied!)
We see a complicated Prophecy from Jesus! “As for you (the first Catholics), do not be called ‘rabbi’. You have but one teacher, and you are all brothers. Call no one of earth your father; you have but one Father in Heaven.”
THAT is a Prophecy of how many Protestants would be led to say: “You Catholics are disobeying God by calling your Catholic priests ‘Father’!”
It is also a Prophecy of what many Catholics would explain for 2,000 years: “We call our priests ‘Father’ because The Spirit of God lives in them and empowers them to provide The Seven Catholic Sacraments.”
Then, Heaven is Prophesied for God’s faithful servants: “whoever humbles himself will be exalted.”
