Temple Prophecies predicted that Cyrus would free the Tribes taken to Babylon and that they would rebuild God’s Temple in Jerusalem. Temple Prophecies include Isaiah 13:19-22, 14:23; Jeremiah 25:11-12;29:10, 51:26, and 43; Ezra 1:1-13; and 2 Chronicles 26:22. They were fulfilled about 513 BC, when God’s Temple in Jerusalem was rebuilt.
Messianic Prophecies, including Isaiah 7:14, 9:6, and 53:3-5, were fulfilled by the Birth of Jesus, whose Name appropriately means “Yahweh Saves”. As Prophesied, He was born in the tiny village of Bethlehem to a Virgin of The House of David, and would accept His agonizing Death on The Cross. More than 300 Messianic Prophecies foretold God’s Love and Mercy coming to earth in Human Form.
There are Three Kinds of Believers:
1. Jewish Believers are grateful for Temple Prophecies while avoiding Messianic Prophecies.
2. Protestant Believers love both Temple and Messianic Prophecies. They avoid The Church Spoken into Being by The Messiah Who fulfilled over 300 Messianic Prophecies about Him.
3. Catholic Believers respect all The Prophecies so much that we are in The Only Church that He Who Fulfilled The Messianic Prophecies Spoke Into Being with His Church-Creating Word to His First Catholic Pope: “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.”
What helps Catholics be Catholic? Huge telescopes, computers, and cell phones give us the perspective to put more than 13 trillion light-years of Creation in perspective by seeing God as The Holy Trinity.
1. We see God The Father as: The Loving Programmer. He Wrote The Creation Program.
2. We see The Holy Spirit as “The Verb: Downloading”.
3. We recognize The Son as “The Prophesied Perfection of The Creation Program in Human Form.”
Seeing God in the Light of all His Prophecies leads Catholics to obey Mt. 5:16 and: “Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Heavenly Father.”
Catholics are grateful to have our souls go to Judgment among those described by The Messiah’s Prophecy in John 20:23. It has guided Catholics to Heaven for the past 2,000 years: “You are My friends if you obey My commands.”
