Reflection on Jn 16:2-3
They will put you out of the synagogues; yes, the time is coming that whoever kills you will think that he offers God service. And these things they will do to you because they have not known the Father nor Me.
Jesus begins this passage by saying: “These things I have spoken to you, that you should not be made to stumble.” Jesus tells the apostles, as well as countless Christians throughout history, that those who are faithful to Him will be persecuted and expelled from the synagogues, that is, from the official Christian community. Today we can see that the Church of Christ is occupied by ecclesiastical leaders, such as pseudo Pope Bergoglio and other pseudo bishops, we will not name any, who are like the vinedressers that Jesus speaks about in the parable. They have seized God’s vineyard and Christ’s servants, and even mistreated the Son of God Himself and killed Him in the souls. They have replaced the Son of God, who is the owner of the vineyard – the Church, with the Pachamama demon. God allows it, but ecclesiastical criminals will not escape God’s judgment and just punishment. In the present hour of darkness, these invaders and their collaborators form the public opinion in such a way that whoever kills true diciples of Christ will really think he offers God service. This is a total confusion of mind, exchanging the truth for lies and the true teaching for heresies. The question arises: Why are these people doing this? Because they are spiritually blind and notoriously refuse to repent. However, they will appeal to the Scriptures and misuse them in the spirit of apostasy. Jesus says clearly: “And these things they will do to you because they have not known the Father nor Me.” Yes, these people have not known the Father, and have no personal relationship to Jesus our Saviour either.
The thoughts of their hearts have been clearly exposed at this time of corona psychosis, so everyone can recognize that these people do not serve Christ, even if they hold the highest offices, but are opposed to Him and persecute and kill those who serve Jesus faithfully. Jesus concludes this passage by saying again: “These things I have told you, that when the time comes, you may remember that I told you of them.” We should know, like hundreds of thousands of martyrs before us, that if we remain faithful to Jesus, an eternal reward awaits us in heaven for the suffering we endure, so the words from the Letter to the Romans fully apply to us: “Now if we are children, then we are heirs – heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together.” (Rom 8:17) “Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written: ‘For Your sake we are killed all day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.’ Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” (Rom 8:34-39)
