The Prophets told us that Jesus would come to earth and give “The Keys to The Kingdom of Heaven” to His One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church!

Question 1: “Does The Prophet Isaiah 11:1-10 tell us that Jesus Christ and His Catholic Church would be coming to earth?”
Answers:
A. ‘On that day, a shoot shall sprout from the stump of Jesse, and from his roots a bud shall blossom.’ That ‘blossoming bud’ is Jesus Christ, The Son of David!
B. ‘The Spirit of The Lord shall rest upon Him: a Spirit of Wisdom and of Understanding, a Spirit of Counsel and of Strength, a Spirit of Knowledge and of Fear of The Lord, and His delight shall be the fear of The Lord.’ That is The Holy Spirit, Second Person of The Holy Trinity, left on earth in The Catholic Church by Jesus Christ, The Son of God, Himself!
C. ‘Not by appearance shall he judge, nor by hearsay shall he decide, but He shall judge the poor with justice, and decide aright for the land’s afflicted.’ Finally, the poor will have justice in The Catholic Church, whose priests and religious take vows of celibacy, poverty, and obedience.
D. ‘He shall strike the ruthless with the rod of His mouth, and with the breath of His lips He shall slay the wicked.
Justice shall be the band around His waist, and faithfulness a belt upon His hips.’ The Word of God destroys those who are ‘ruthless’ and ‘wicked’.
E. ‘Then the wolf shall be a guest of the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; The calf and the young lion shall browse together, with a little child to guide them.’
F. ‘The cow and the bear shall be neighbors, together their young shall rest; the lion shall eat hay like the ox.
The baby shall play by the cobra’s den, and the child lay his hand on the adder’s lair.’ Rather than ‘preying’ on each other, the different types of people will be ‘praying’ to be pleasing to God.
G. ‘There shall be no harm or ruin on all My holy mountain; for the earth shall be filled with knowledge of The Lord, as water covers the sea.’ Wherever The Catholic Church spreads The Holy Sacraments, ignorance and vanity will be replaced with ‘knowledge of The Lord’ and guided by fear of His coming Judgment.
H. ‘On that day, The root of Jesse, set up as a signal for the nations, The Gentiles shall seek out, for His dwelling shall be glorious.’ Billions of people beyond The Twelve Tribes will be blessed to seek The Truth that can only be found in The Church Spoken Into Being by This Word of Jesus Christ, The Prophesied Messiah!
‘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.’

Question 2: “Who can get those ‘keys to The Kingdom of Heaven’?
Answer: “Those who are chosen to ask God to be blessed to be among This Holy People who are specifically described by The Prophesied Messiah! ‘You are My friends if you obey My commands.’”
