The Black Tabernacle of Death


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."
