Ever since the King of Kings and Lord of Lords Jesus Christ was incarnate through the Holy Spirit and the Ever Virgin Mary, there has been speculation over when the Lord Jesus Christ would return. At the same time, other religions have also fervent Messianic expectations. Each of them claim that their version of the Messiah will usher in peace, tranquility, and paradise on Earth. But, only ONE LORD can accomplish these things in accordance with Holy Scripture and Holy Tradition, and His Name is Jesus Christ, born in Bethlehem of a Virgin, and whose name is Emmanuel: which means, "God with us"! All others are imposters, and they are easy to identify. All one has to do is to perceive the blemishes of sin on the imposters and also behold their limitations.
Contrast this with our gaze upon the MIGHTY LORD OF ALL, WHO HAS NO SPOT OR BLEMISH OF SIN, and WHO HAS NO LIMITATIONS IN HIS ABILITY! HIS NAME IS JESUS CHRIST! HE IS NOT HERE YET! NONE OF US ARE WORTHY TO LOOK UPON HIM. We seek His Mercy and His Grace. He wants our LOYALTY, OUR UNDIVIDED LOYALTY TO HIM!!! HE IS THE BRIDEGROOM!!! WE, WHO ARE IN HIS BODY, ARE HIS BRIDE. IF WE LET OUR EYES GO ELSEWHERE, HE IS JEALOUS. THIS IS A RIGHTEOUS JEALOUSY!!! He seeks our undivided WORSHIP, our undivided BELIEF, our undivided MEMBERSHIP. If OUR EYES gaze upon a POPE, HE IS JEALOUS!!! If OUR EYES gaze upon a THEOLOGICAL "LEADER", HE IS JEALOUS!!! HE WANTS OUR EYES FIXED UPON HIM, AND HIM ONLY!!!
When we shall repent of our GAZING at other "lords", we shall be in FELLOWSHIP with the LORD OF LORDS and KING OF KINGS, Jesus Christ. Recently, we have seen some "messianic fervor" over a creature-man who is not the Messiah, not the Annointed-One, not the Christ, not the Son of Man. The record of this false "messiah" is one of corruption, one of unrighteousness, one of false hope, one of evil intentions, and one jealous for worship directed towards himself...but he is the man of sin and a deceiver.
All of us are being tested now. Soon, we will be asked to take this false "messiah"'s mark, but it is a mark of perdition, a mark of branding that identifies the markee as from the Evil One. Soon, you will not be able to either buy or sell without this mark. For that reason, many will feel compelled to take the mark, but DON'T DO IT!!! Taking the mark of this man will be counted among the RIGHTEOUS OF GOD as the SIN OF BLASPHEMY AGAINST GOD. Flee from any "authority" that would force you to take the mark. Remember that GOD PROVIDES FOR ALL YOUR NEEDS, NO MATTER WHAT!!! YOU DON'T NEED TO BUY OR SELL ANYTHING!!! IT WILL BE GIVEN TO YOU. Listen to the Holy Gospel of the LORD JESUS CHRIST. IT IS THE TRUTH -- EVEN the Qu'ran says that!!! AND yet, the current false "messiah" comes from out of the Islamic peoples to deceive many, even the elect! We implore the people of Islam to read what their religious text says about the Torah and the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.
Sura 4.163: "We have sent thee inspiration, as We sent it to Noah and the Messengers after him: we sent inspiration to Abraham, Isma'il, Isaac, Jacob and the Tribes, to Jesus, Job, Jonah, Aaron, and solomon, and to David We gave the Psalms."
Sura 5.46: "And in their footsteps We sent Jesus the son of Mary, confirming the Law that had come before him: We sent him the Gospel: therein was guidance and light, and confirmation of the Law that had come before him: a guidance and an admonition to those who fear God."
It is an invitation for the faithful Muslim to read these texts and to be illumined by them. This is a good starting point. Go from there into complete ILLUMINATION and follow a good spiritual guide: a Canonically Ordained Orthodox Christian Priest. Then, you can say, properly, "HOSANNA IN THE HIGHEST TO THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, WHO IS KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS FOREVER A HIGH PRIEST AFTER THE ORDER OF MELCHIZEDEK. AMEN.
The Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Love of God the Father, and the Communion of the Good and Life-Creating Holy Spirit of God be with you all. Amen.
