The
revelation of the heavenly Tabernacle on earth is precious for the
Church because it secures its spiritual well being. It reveals the
Church as the Living Body of our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ. Within
the holy curtains of the courtyard the soul can seek refuge and
security. Already in the Old covenant we see the BLACK TABERNACLE OF
DEATH revealed in the prophetic vision of Ezekiel,
"Son of man, do you see what they are
doing, the monstrous, loathsome things that the House of Israel is
practicing here, to drive me out of my sanctuary? And you will
see practices more loathsome still!". . . He said, "Go in and look at
the loathsome things they are doing inside." I went in and looked and
there were every kind of reptile and repulsive animals, and all the
foul idols of the House of Israel . . . "And so I will retreat in fury;
I shall show neither pity nor mercy. They may cry as loudly as they
like to me; I will not listen“ (Ezk 8. 6, 10-11, 18).
Our Lord had neither pity nor mercy when he saw the loathsome and
repulsive things they practiced in the temple of his Father in
Jerusalem,
When the time of the
Jewish Passover was near Jesus went to Jerusalem, and in the Temple he
found people selling cattle and sheep and doves, and the money
changers, sitting there. Making a whip out of cord, he drew them all
out of the Temple, sheep and cattle as well, scattered the money
changer’s coins, knocked their tables over and said to the dove
sellers, "Take all this out of here and stop using my Father’s house as
a market." Then his disciples remembered the words of scripture: I am
eaten up with zeal for your house (Jh 2. 14-18).
Few have been able to descripe in as clear words the ortodoxy of
secularism as the American bishop Thomas Doran in an article appearing
on the New Adwent website the 17th august last (2006). He stated among
other things in extraordinary words of prophetic value, "The seven
sacraments of their secular culture are abortion, buggery,
contraception, divorce, euthanasia, feminism of the radical type, and
genetic experimentation and mutilation. These things they unabashedly
espouse, profess and promote." A little later bishop Doran wrote,
"These unholy sacraments of our secular culture are the seeds of the
destruction of our nation. Think for yourself: what nation that kills
its young, perverts marriage, prevents new life, and destroys the
family, kills those deemed useless, makes the war of the sexes into a
real war, and manipulates the genetic basis of human nature, can long
endure?
One of the most loathsome and repulsive sacraments of the orthodoxy of
secularism is the SACRAMENT OF DEATH depicted by the altar of death on
the picture above. Approximately the number of victims of the Second
World War are estimated to be some 62 millions. The number of citizen
is considered to be 37 millions, but number of soldiers some 25
millions. The Allied forces lost 51 million individuals, but the Axis
powers some 11 millons [1]. In spite of this vast multitude it faints
compared to the victims of the abortion industry the last two deacades.
I say and write they number 944,935,000 or almost a billion [2]. This
means actually that one of every three born children have been murdered.
On the picture above we see the number of secularism on the curtain of
the entrance, the numeral 666. The numeral 6 is always the token of the
man as a six days creation in the Bible. The numeral 666 is the token
of him who distorts the Holy Trinity (3) and makes himself a god. This
is the numeral of Antichrist, the numeral of the wicked One, as St.
Paul exposed him,
Never let anyone deceive you in any way. It
cannot happen until the Great Revolt has taken place and there has
appeared the wicked One, the lost One, the Enemy, who raises himself
above every so-called God or object of worship to entrhone himself in
God’s sanctuary and flaunts the claim that he is God. Surely you
remember my telling you about this when I was with you? And you know,
too, what is still holding him back from appearing before his appointed
time. The mystery of wickedness is already at work, but let him who is
restraining it once be removed, and the wicked One will appear openly.
The Lord will destroy him with his breath of his mouth and will
annihilate him with his glorious appearance at his coming. But the
coming of the wicked One will be marked by Satan being at work in all
kinds of counterfeit miracles and signs and wonders, and every wicked
deception [3] aimed at those who are on the way of destruction because
they would not accept the love of the truth and so be saved. And
therefore God sends on them a power that deludes people so that they
believe what is false, and so that those who do not believe the truth
and take pleasure in wickedness may all be condemned" (2Th 2, 2-12).
The great apostle did see in the spirtiual discrimination of his
prophetic grace what is the driving force behind the secularism: "they
would not accept the love of the truth and so be saved." The secularism
proclaims relativism and rejects thus the TRUTH. It stands in the step
of Pontius
Pilate when he asked, "What is the truth? (Jn 18. 38). He got no
answer but the silence
because his question was pointless. The secularism rejects
Absolute Truth by its
relativism. This Absolute Truth is not a "WHAT" but HE who is
the personification of Truth, "I AM THE WAY; I AM TRUTH AND LIFE (Jn
14, 6).
That is why the revelation of the Sanctuary of the Tabernacle is so
precious for His Church. It is here where the faithful find their green
pasture where they will stay forever, "I AM THE GATE. ANYONE WHO
ENTERS THROUGH ME WILL BE SAFE; SUCH ONE WILL GO IN AND OUT AND WILL
FIND PASTURE" (Jn 10. 9).
May the most holy, sacred, most adorable,
most mysterious and unutterable Name
of God
be always praised, blessed, loved,
adored and
glorified in heaven, on earth and
under the earth,
by all the creatures of God, and by
the Sacred Heart
of our Lord Jesus Christ in the most
Holy Sacrament
of the altar (The Golden Arrow).

[3]. The Prophecy of St. Nilos the hermit on Mount Athos (d. 1654),
"After the year 1900, toward the middle of the 20th century, the people
of that time will become unrecognizable. When the time for the advent
of the Antichrist approaches, people's minds will grow cloudy from
carnal passions, and dishonor and lawlessness will grow stronger. Then
the world will become unrecognizable. People's appearances will change,
and it will be impossible to distinguish men from women due to their
shamelessness in dress and style of hair. These people will be cruel
and will be like wild animals because of the temptations of the
Antichrist.
There will be no respect for parents and elders, love will disappear,
and Christian pastors, bishops and priests will become vain men,
completely failing to distinguish the right way from the left. At that
time the morals and traditions of Christians and of the Church will
change. People will abandon modesty, and dissipation will reign.
Falsehood and greed will attain great proportions, and woe to those who
pile up treasures. Lust, adultery, homosexuality, secret deeds, and
murder will rule in society.
At that future time, due to the power of such great crimes and
licentiousness, people will be deprived of the grace of the Holy
Spirit, which they received in Holy Baptism, and also of remorse.
The Churches of God will be deprived of God-fearing and pious pastors,
and woe to the Christians remaining in the world at that time; they
will completely lose their faith, because they will lack the
opportunity of seeing the light of knowledge from anyone at all. Then
they will separate themselves out of the world in holy refuges in
search of enlightenment of their spiritual sufferings, but everywhere
they will meet obstacles and constraints. And all this will result from
the fact that the Antichrist wants to be Lord over everything and
become the ruler of the whole universe, and he will produce miracles
and fantastic signs. He will also give depraved wisdom to an unhappy
man, so that he will discover a way by which one man can carry on a
conversation with another from one end of the earth to the other. At
that time, men will also fly through the air like birds and descend to
the bottom of the sea like fish. And when they have achieved all this,
these unhappy people will spend their lives in comfort without knowing,
poor souls, that it is the deceit of the Antichrist. And the impious
one!
The Most-good God will see the downfall of the human race and will
shorten the days for the sake of those few who are being saved, because
the enemy wants to lead even the chosen into temptation, if that is
possible . . . then the sword of chastisement will suddenly appear and
kill the perverter and his servants."
