When “Jacob departed from Beer-sheba and proceeded toward Haran” he came upon a certain shrine. As the sun had already set, he stopped there for the night. Taking one of the stones at the shrine, he put it under his head and lay down to sleep at that spot. Then, he had a dream: a stairway rested on the ground, with its top reaching into the heavens; and God’s messengers were going up and down on it.”
Question 1: “What happened after that?”
Answer: “‘And, there was the LORD standing beside him and saying ‘I the LORD am the God of your forefather Abraham and the God of Isaac: the land on which you are lying I will give to you and your descendants. These shall be as plentiful as the dust of the earth, and through them you (your DNA) shall spread out east and west, north and south. In you and your descendants, all the nations of the earth shall find blessing.’”

Question 2: “How would ‘all the nations of the earth find blessing’ from God?”
Answer: “Over the following 2,000 years, God would send Prophets who predicted The Coming of Jesus. He would be born of a Virgin from The House of David in the tiny village of Bethlehem. Jesus would let every person on earth ‘find blessing from God’ if they got onto ‘the stairway to Heaven’ that would take form in The One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church that Jesus Spoke Into Being with His Church-Creating Word to His First Catholic Pope, 2,000 years ago:
“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 3: “What do those ‘keys to The Kingdom of Heaven’ do?”
Answer: “First, they let us get onto ‘the stairway to Heaven’. The souls who keep those ‘keys’ are able to actually enter Heaven.”
~
Question 4: “Can every person on earth get ‘the keys to The Kingdom of Heaven’?”
Answer: “The Seven Catholic Sacraments: Baptism, Communion, Confirmation, Confession/Forgiveness, Anointing of the sick, Holy Orders, and Matrimony let those who receive those ‘keys’ get higher on the ‘stairway to Heaven’ every time they receive those Catholic Sacraments.”
~
Question 5: “Why isn’t everyone Catholic?”
Answer: “Many do not realize: The devil and his demons are living versions of computer viruses. They lead as many as they can to violate The First Commandment: ‘You shall have no other gods before Me.’ Souls who avoid ‘the stairway to Heaven’ spend their lives on the ‘broad pathway to hell’.”
