Reflection on Heb 1:1-2
“In the past God spoke to our forefathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways, but in these last days He has spoken to us by His Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, and through whom He made the universe.”
As we read the Old Testament, we learn that God indeed spoke to the chosen nation at many times, especially through the prophets and in many other ways too. God also spoke by demonstrating good, whether it was deliverance from Egypt, passage through the Red Sea, or miracles in the wilderness, and He also spoke through various trials, and then through warning punishments, not only in the wilderness but throughout the history of Israel. Often the nation was blind and deaf, and then God sent upon it harsh trials such as wars, Babylonian captivity… God gave man free will, but the evil that man does brings suffering both to him and others, and therefore God punishes him, either here in time or in eternity if he does not repent in earnest. God spoke and rebuked the nation through the prophets, but the nation responded by stoning and killing His prophets, and their sons built their tombs.
God has spoken most powerfully by giving us His own Son. When the fullness of the time had come, God, who became man, was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Holy Mother of God. He spoke with His gospel message and clearly revealed the most basic truths and mysteries that pertain to our salvation. Ultimately, He was condemned by the church hierarchy and crucified through Roman state power. But Jesus rose from the dead and entered into His glory, where He prepared a place for us. God has also spoken to the New Testament Church at many times and in various ways. He spoke through the Apostles who died as martyrs, He spoke through the Doctors of the Church, and in the first three centuries He spoke especially through millions of martyrs, not only through their words before their death, but also through the extraordinary and great miracles that accompanied their suffering. Many were thrown into a blazing furnace, like the young men in Babylon, and were left unharmed. Some were tortured almost to death, and they were healed in prison overnight by an angel or by Jesus Himself, who appeared to them, even though they were then tortured again and died for Christ’s sake. For two millennia, God has spoken through many saints, whether men or women, or even children. He has also spoken through miracles, by which He confirmed their faithfulness to Him and their orthodox teachings, to which they bore witness and for which they suffered persecution. When Christians sunk into moral decay, materialism and the spirit of the world, He allowed Christianity to be eradicated by Islam in the very cradle of Christianity, in Asia Minor, where almost all the apostles preached God’s word. He also allowed the extermination of Christianity in other flourishing nations in North Africa, where there were more than 300 dioceses. This was because Christianity had abandoned its roots and conformed to the spirit of this world.
God also allowed our present situation, which was preceded by the 19th and 20th centuries with the heresies of modernism, syncretism, atheism… A warning came through the Queen of Prophets – the Blessed Virgin at Fatima. In the third secret of Fatima, She predicted these events of the greatest betrayal, beginning with the Second Vatican Council, which opened the Church to the spirit of this world. The curse which now falls not only on the Church but also on the whole world is the fruit of mass apostasy, which has its roots in Vatican II. The Council encoded in its documents the heresies of syncretism, that is, openness to pagan demons. Pseudo Pope Bergoglio brought it to completion by enthroning the Pachamama demon in 2019, thus spiritually launching the covid regime under which we now live. People have refused to love the truth, have been silent about criminal anti-laws on child stealing, about anti-laws that punish justice and promote the privileging of immorality and corruption. School system has been misused for demoralization instead of education. Medicine is exploited not to care for health, but to reduce humanity. And to top it all off, all this is blessed by the false Pope, who has elevated sodomy above God’s law and promotes satanic anti-baptism under the code name mRNA vaccine. The blood from the satanic ritual, during which the kidney tissue was ripped out from live unborn babies, subsequently killed, falls on the vaccinated. God has allowed this false Pope to be in office, and many keep repeating like a mantra that he is the “Holy Father” and that God cannot allow this office to be abused. Similarly, the Jews repeated like a mantra that God could not allow the destruction of their temple, which Christ had foretold and which was accomplished in AD 70 by Emperor Titus and described later by Josephus Flavius, an eyewitness and historian.
We see this deep blindness and this curse, which has been brought down by religious heretics with a new teaching, a false gospel, and a false morality represented by the current pseudo Pope. Nevertheless, people do not repent so as to stop the process of genocide, in which God manifests His love after all. In fact, when people are faced with great suffering, pain or death, many are awakened from their pride, blindness or immorality and may still be saved. Otherwise, they would face eternal hell because they refused to hear God’s voice. God spoke to them in various ways even in their lives, but they did not hear. Let us ask ourselves: And what about me? God has spoken to you at many times and in various ways and how did you respond to events that were an obvious warning voice, and perhaps you may have departed this life already… The only way to be saved, be it for a priest, or every man or woman, is repentance. If we repent, Christ comes into our hearts and then we can truly cry out at all times: Christ is born! Without repentance, Christmas is just empty poetry or mere folklore. That is why we should cleanse not our house, but above all our hearts with tears of repentance, and thus give Jesus a place this Christmas so that He can dwell in our hearts.
