Recently a priest told me a story about the life of St. Francis. One day when Francis was gardening his brothers came up to him and asked him what would he do if he knew that the end was near and that our lord would return at any moment. St. Francis after thinking for a moment, replied, "I would keep gardening".
I'm not 100% sure this is true but the message was very impactful for me. We know not the day or the hour, so just keep gardening.
A nice story but I know of no account that has St Francis look after a garden. Lepers, yes, gardens no. Perhaps it was another saint the story was originally about? I am a Franciscan by the way.
Peace be with you @Pro Justice ... Absolutely!
@@FrankNStein-pf9rr what is Maryeluya?
@@Denis-fs2ip
Denis. Not what but WHO and according to The Pope, aka Papa, aka Holy Father, The Virgin Mother of Halleluyah. AND Virgin Mother Mary aka Star of The Sea aka Queen of Heaven, crushed the head of Satan the Serpent with her immaculately conceived VIRGINAL LEFT FOOT VIRGINAL BIG TOE. Check out Black Mother Mary, aka Black Madonna of Częstochowa.
@@FrankNStein-pf9rr OK, that is some made up stuff. Nowhere in the scripture can your text be found.
Some parts yes, but they are intertwined with fallacies to the degree.
Even the 'title' Holy Father is for God Himself. And not for the mere religious man.
About the Mary, may we all follow her example in chastity and holiness but heaven forbid we give her any worship equal to God.
Also it's the Yeshua that not only crushes Satan but does it with the Word out of His mouth - coming on the clouds of glory.
Read the book of Revelation and stick the to simplicity of faith.
Honour people. Worship God.
It may be possible that the end is near, but regardless of whether it is or not, we should continue living good Catholic Christian lives as if it weren’t.
Best advice yet.
To be honest, I think it's the opposite - the end may or may not be near, but we should live as vigilant a Christian life as possible, convert our hearts and listen to the Gospel, as if it was certain the end is going to be any day now. That's how the Apostles and the early Church took it and I think that's the best way we can take it. Memento Mori!
Duh

I love called to communion!
I am a protestant and I love your channel Matt. God bless you brother.
How can you live without the Holy Eucharist??😭😭. This is salvation we are talking about. Without it, all Protestants and non Christians have no life in all of you. Please convert to Catholicism brother. There is no salvation outside the catholic chirch.
@@seanlegendhavemeyer9936
Sean, Jesus said "I came not to condemn" and either should we. Love will make the path. God has His hand upon us whether we know it or not and the mystery that brings conversion is beyond humanity's understanding. Because it is God's grace drawing each of His creation to know the love that is beyond knowledge. Be gracious 😇
God bless you on your journey.
God's times are just perfect, as catholics we just need to keep praying for others a and ourselves, and not judge others. God know which path our brothers protestants need to walk that lead to HIM .. we just need to have faith and pray hard
Wow your photo is lots like mine 😄🙏🏼❤️
Pray, Hope, dont Worry. Be at Peace. Show Mercy to one another. Do not judge. Be charitable. Attend Mass often, go to Confession weekly, Fast, make reparations, pray the Rosary, wear the Brown Scapular, make the First five Saturdays.. devote time to the Holy Souls in Purgatory, Visit the Blessed Sacrament..
Thank you brother for your comment. As an Orthodox believer virtually everything you’ve said we must apply, Although in our case we attend the Divine Liturgy and we pray the Jesus Prayer, not instead of the Rosary, and many of us pray to the Theotokos the following:
“Under your compassion we take refuge, Theotokos, Do not overlook our prayers in the midst of tribulation, but deliver us from danger, Oh only pure, only blessed one.”
Glory to God!
Dave, Not much of what you are saying is even in the Bible. Did you read it? Where is Purgatory spoken of or even praying the Rosary? Sorry to say, but The Bible should be the only rule of faith and practice, not man made tradition.
@@heidiranger6106 The bible speaks of us being refined in the fire, Jesus gave us to his mother at the foot of the cross telling John to take her into his home and he was her son, ie, we are her children. When God speaks of confounding the wise this is in relation to the Blessed Virgin, she is the Ark of the new covenant and found by humble souls, the treasure we find when we seek. Jesus told us he would send us the paraclete who has revealed Divine truths and mysteries through the church and saints over 2000 years bit by bit. We would not be left as orphans, we have Our Lady and Saint Joseph, our spiritual mother and father. I abandoned the faith most of my life and through the mother of God had a miraculous conversion. She is the immaculata and my goodness will she crush his head as is written. Satan waged war on our mother as she is his enemy, soon she will triumph🥰
As someone who has struggled for scrupulosity for most of my adult life, I found your post more comforting than most videos, articles, etc. on the subject. Thank you for being a blessing in my life. May God bless you and your family.
This is awesome advice! We don't know the day or the hour. Keep gardening!!
Every Christians of all ages have always thought that they are living on the last days. The thing is to just live your Catholic faith well and that suffices. Thinking about end times will crack your head.
In a sense, they all ended up being right.
it's silly to try and figure out when the end days are coming. we're not meant to know. we're meant to be prepared at all times by living the way God wants us to live.
I bet you enjoyed this discussion.
That’s not really true. Just as Jesus gives the apostles and first Christians ways to know when the Romans would sack Jerusalem and the Temple in the Gospel of Matthew, he also gave us general signs to know when the end days were upon us. The first Christians kept Jesus’ word and when they saw “foreign armies” surrounding Jerusalem and the abomination of desolation in the temple, they fled. Not a single Christian perished to the Romans, or so Eusebius tells us. No, we cannot know the exact hour and minute when Jesus is coming. But we can have a general idea that He may be coming soon based on our being aware of what’s going on around us.
So when they had come together, they asked him, “Lord, will you at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?” He said to them, “It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has fixed by his own authority. But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samar′ia and to the end of the earth.”
Acts 1:6-8
the when and how are not our main concern. ours is to help restore the Kingdom of God, and we, each and every one of us, you and I, are already doing it. it had already started 2,000 years ago after Jesus' resurrection.
every generation think they are living in the end times. this kind of preoccupation can become a dangerous and unhealthy obsession. just look at how many suicide cults this kind of obsession has created.
listen to DAY 322 of the Bible in a Year podcast and hear Fr Mike's explanation of the verses above. it's really eye-opening.
@@AllanKoayTC This is correct...every generation now fetishsizes the end times...For all we know this covid thing could have nothing to do with it...But we must live everyday for God and too God
Well said :)
I'm glad your channel doesn't dwell too heavily on the end. I used to obsess about the end of the world, but it was an extension of my depression and disgust with the world before I had a closer relationship to Christ. Now that I know him better, and seek his face; I live everday to fufill his will on earth. What a change he has made in not only my life but the lives of my atheist family.
I feel so blessed to be Catholic. Thank you Jesus for the church you founded and the people in my life especially, my parents, who brought me up catholic.
Me too! My mom was a Convert. May the souls of the faithful departed rest in peace!
Amen
SO GRATEFUL for this man telling it like it is without apology
In this case, I sing... "LET MY PEOPLE COOOOOOME!". The return of my Jewish brethren is already underway. Glory to the Most High.
(As today?) - Simon Bar Kokhba, led the 1st Jewish revolt against the Roman Empire in AD 132, establishing an independent Jewish state. Rabbi Akiva, a father of the Talmud (source of modern Pharisaic Judaism), regarded Simon as Messiah. (Wikipedia) “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves…BY THEIR FRUITS YOU WILL KNOW THEM.” (Mt 7)
Amen!. I've been waiting for this for soo many years 🥲🙌🏻
That's awesome, Jews I knew often just talked about Hitler and Jesus in the same breath and made dumb jokes about Jesus lol. I may have Jewish blood on my Lithuanian side. Just be careful, brother, I have learned that there are still some medieval anti-Semites, conservatives, in devout Catholicism and was surprised that it was someone I called friend. When I revealed my potential Jewish ancestry, he was like "oh... well, that's ok I guess". 'Ok', as if its bad. It's way worse in Orthodoxy from what I understand.
@@Awakeningspirit20 I feel yaS I’ve encountered both the Jews that joke like that and the Catholics that which Jews didn’t exist. I literally receive attacks and insults from such folks on a daily basis since I’m on CZcams and Instagram.
Praise God and our Lord, Jesus! Welcome home JC.
Imagine living through the Black Plague in the late 1300’s with a third of the planet’s population wiped out. I would have been 100% sure that it was the “end of the world”.
Agree entirely, but just to be factual I believe it was 1/3 of Europe, not the planet. Still a huge amount tho!

Yes but now you have globalisation, technology, identety and gender crisis... much much different.
It’s not just the current plague, but the similarities to the Bolshevik revolution, except on a world wide scale.
@@michaelt3912 thats what i was trying to explain ,but it could been if God wanted too because i believe God sent St Vicent Ferrer to preach to the people
"the Angel of the Apocalypse . "
He followed through and the people converted from their wicked ways ,God didnt end the world just like in Nineveh as jonah did the same .
I love this interview. Ralph Martin is so sensitive and educated. And his enthusiasm for the faith is contagious!
3 Aves for Ralph 🌹🌹🌹🙏🏻 and for Matt 🌹🌹🌹🙏🏻 that your ministries may be for the Lord's work ✝️📿🙏🏻
Please, please consider praying an additional holy Rosary to your current daily one, for the loving intentions of our Blessed Mother - she will be ever so grateful: as well as fasting to your capacity. We need her maternal help now, more than ever. Pray for one another - especially for the priests. God bless you.
Such excellent advice--thank you. : )
Amen!
It is interesting that as the West is becoming less Christian, Eastern Europe and Russia are becoming more and more traditionally “westernised” and Christian.

I'm reading "Church in Crisis" right now. Amazing book. Very well done. Not all doom and gloom, but does call attention to things. A real page-turner!
Fr Chad Ripperger said in US Grace Force’s channel that during in an exorcism, a demon he was exorcising suddenly began crying and said, “HE is going to take my power away!” He being God the Father as Fr Ripperger later said. It is a good sign because the physical chastisement is near at hand and Our Lady’s Triumph is close. Funny that this video came out a week after Fr Chad’s interview.
I know when I read the title for that video, my mind went immediately to the demons are horrified that their time is about up. And its sad.. they could see the result of their defiance to God before they rebelled, and yet they did. Praise God & let us continue walking in His power and glory, His divine mercy and grace.
Which video?
Perhaps he meant that just in the context of the person it was possessing, and not in a general sense? I haven't seen the video so I'm just asking for the context :)
What Dr. Martin said about the Holy Scriptures is so essential. It is the verses of the Bible that are clear that we are not obeying that closely that we should be more concerned about. For instance, Jesus said, "Then he said to them all, “If any want to become my followers, let them deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me." (Luke 9: 23 NRSV Catholic Ed.). There in Luke 9: 23 is the message of self-denial on a daily basis, which the great saints through the centuries exemplified to us. Are we taking up our cross and following Jesus daily? Not on occasions of special emphasis, but every single day? That is a powerful verse to get right in our lives as authentic followers of Christ.
It's impossible to do that. We would have to remove ourselves from society completely, live in the forest like a monk and live off the land. Yes, I guess we could do that. But what's the point of doing that? We may as well die so we can be with Christ.
Two blessed men in conversation...God be with them and us...always.
Regardless of the Second Coming to the world, each of us will have a personal 'second coming' after we physically die.
“ The restrained will be removed?” I read that 2021 was consecrated to Saint Joseph and his protection over the world will be lifted December 8th. I read that Saint Joseph has been protecting the world from the Antichrist as he protected his Holy family. We need to pray for The Church, and pray for The Holy Father.
We'll have to wait and see man who knows, be safe until then
Yes... But St Joseph will still be looking at the inheritance of Christ and protecting them in a unique way through his merits and intercession. Just now, we must turn to Our Lady for her spiritual and intercessory and eventual temporal intervention *all the more than we did before*. Routinely and sporadically.
no one lives after they die or has influence in the world ECCL 9: 5-6...just because you were taught something does not make it right - just as in JW or Mormon churches...and Romans 3 teaches no man is good -no not "one" verse 10 ....the antichrist is here and has been for over a 1000 years if you know where to look in history
I had a chat with Ralph Martin a couple of years ago. What a delightful man 😊. His book Fulfillment of All Desire is excellent.
That book changed my life!
I still worry, will I be able to withstand persecution. Can I remain faithful in the face of physical torture? I pray I will.
Just remember that there is a thin veil between life and death. Think of the lives and deaths of the Saints. They knew that the pain in their body would eventually end, and that they would see the face of Jesus, and spend eternity in his presence. The body can only take so much. Even with that said, I pray the same prayer as you: Lord, whenever I face my death, may I have the grace I need to persevere in faith. I'll pray for you. Please pray for me too!
Only Christ can keep us in the faith ! We need to know we can do nothing with out Jesus !
Saints Perpetua and Felicity, pray for us!
If you know him, he says he will be with you always, he will not test beyond our endurance in our soul, and he will tell us what to say /do under pressure.
@@jeneriss Thank you for your prayers. I will pray for you. I had no idea others had the same concerns about this as I do.
My fiance and I were talking about this very fact this past weekend, could you imagine if everyone would just follow the scripture? We have a Guide to Life and instructional book with relatable lessons and every Christian will claim to know it and quote it often, but when have any of us referred to it instead of the internet when going through difficulties and struggles?? I have actually learned so much about the lessons and stories from watching Jordan Peterson's Bible lectures. I feel he will become Catholic soon
Ralph, been 'a fan' of yours since the Catholic Charismatic Renewal Conference in the Notre Dom University Stadium in 1978, actually before that when attending a conference in Minneapolis, MN in '77. As you likely don't even need to imagine, it's been a dynamic time, a tremendous time with the Lord. Thank you for continuing to carry 'the torch', which reminds me of the 'Fire Rally' in St. Cloud, MN '87.
Many times I sense myself being so alone as a Charismatic Catholic walking, even as we're taught that Adam did in the cool of the day, every day. Participating with you on CZcams helps take the edge off that aloneness.
Be blessed as you continue to be a blessing to so many in times like these.
As I typically close with my CZcams friends, Bye.....................Old Dave
P.S. Do you ever have contact with Mike Shaughnessy. Mike was my first men's group 'head' in St. Cloud,MN in 1977-78.

Excellent, timely interview. Dr Martin teaches priests and respected by some of the holiest of people in the Church.
Just love the part toward the beginning when Ralph Martin tells the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth about the Protestant Bible Societies. The truth is always so refreshing.
It is always near and all you can do is to be found doing the good and true when the day comes.
While I agree we shouldn't orientate our lives around end time prophecies I do believe it's helpful to discern the signs of the times, if even to give us some sense of urgency in making our own lives more holy and helping our neighbour. I'm going to be honest, I'm gobsmacked at events over the last few years. The state of the world today is something I never thought would come about just a few years ago, the reason i feel it won't get better without divine intervention is the mass rejection of God. At least after WW2, the worst conflict in history western nations were for the most part influenced by the Christian world-view and Church attendance was high. They rebuilt society with Christ in their heart. Today society can't even define what man is, to do so is heresy. How can there be a future under such insane ideologies?
Today belief in Christ has never been lower all over the western world. I myself believed with the renewal of the intellectual tradition of the Church which this channel has contributed to aswell as many other channels which gives a philosophical account for the existence of God this would help and perhaps reverse the new Atheism that was gripping society but something even worse has took hold. A new religion with new values and principles. One where to stand against it can open us up to severe persecution. Do you guys honestly think without divine intervention things will get better? I'd love it to. I'd love for man to realize before it's too late we can't build a civilization without God and attempting to do so leads to ruin. As Catholics we don't get the luxury of wallowing In despair as we attest to the fact that In the end there is only hope but it's still sad to see so many souls being lost. So MANY. We need to pray harder than ever.
Every day I too say that it will only take the intervention of God to stop the tyrannies that surround us. And I agree with your wonderful comment here.
I'm protestant, but agree with you on all these points
We also need to realize that a lot of the problems today started (or at least were greatly ramped up) in the mid-1900s with people just acting immoral behind the scenes and it’s slowly degrading our souls in this society.
Especially considering how we started to connect more with paganism as well as communism (which is traditionally atheist). It is slowly degraded the morals we had in our society or the very least confused us because we don’t want to offend anyone. I really started seeing the shift in the 1800s as well but it started being applied to the masses in the 1900s. It just had to be slow so generations could not see it.
When half of Europe was under Soviet rule the Christians there did not assume it heralded the end of the world. Does the world revolve around the West? Does prophecy?
@Joe Walsh It means astounded
I feel in my spirit that the pot is definitely starting to boil so to speak, but definitely not fruitful fixating on it like many Protestant sects do
Really enjoy these videos!
I want this book ! This interview is amazing. TRUTH. God help us.
No matter what happens Jesus is always in control(Matthew16:18, 1John4:4, Revelation12:12). The devil can huff and puff all he likes, but we all know the outcome.

Wouldn't you love to see this interview again now 2 years later.. I do believe the writing is on the wall... One could easily freak out but I've personally decided every morning the good Lord allows me to wake up I will follow his teachings I will be kind and I Praise his name If I'm allowed to do that for 2 more days or 20 more years Gods will be done

I heard a sermon not long ago arguing that the 90's was the "time of peace" promised by our Lady. Off the top of my head I could think of 2 genocides and one of the deadliest civil wars in history.
But Mary said if Russia is not converted they will spread their communistic errors.
In the World as a Whole, 1991-2001 was relatively peaceful. From 1815 to 1914, there was no General European War, which had wreaked havoc across the Face of the Earth from 1789 until 1815.
There has not been a Year of World-Wide Peace, since Cain and Abel. What was 1919 until 1939, but a Twenty-Years Truce?

Very interesting message. Thank you.
It's definitely a slower roll-out of the end times than I had pictured. I always thought it would start with one fast, quick event. However, for those unprepared, maybe it will be a sudden event that catches them by surprise. I suppose for those of us paying attention, it's feel slower because of the anticipation.
Those with their heads in their (not so smart) phones will definitely be caught offguard and it will be sudden for them. Too many are not paying attention, and it is sad that so many will be caught by surprise.

@@kindredtheembraced WHY though?
people have been trying to predict the end since it was announced that it could end by the Lord.
but the more i watch the mistreatment of the church, the more i just see Judas and babarsa being accepted by them over a loving merciful God.
10:42 THATS MY PRAYER TOO.
I love how Dr. Martin doesn't lose sight of the fact that, in the midst of confusion and frustration dealing with people whose decisions matter but that we can't control, that we should treasure the indwelling of the Holy Spirit within us and in the inerrancy of Scripture. Everyone should thank God for this grace.

I'm really struggling with all the constant immodest commercials on CZcams now, they are even on Catholic channels. 🙏
You learn to get used to it and don’t pay attention. Some you can skip all that. Or if you upgrade you get no commercials
That's CZcams for you.
They would place an advertisement for GrubHub or Domino's.

Worth reflecting, thanks
The end is always near. Life is short!
I feel guilty about hoping for the end of the world. It seemed like a selfish desire that I have just because my life is messed up or I'm facing a lot of troubles. So I just hope for the end of the world or for Christ's second coming. More often than not, I catch myself hoping for it with a selfish mindset/desire.
@Roger Mills perhaps you misunderstood my message. But we can agree to disagree on what you said. I hope you are doing well right now. Have a good day. :)
I can relate Mikael. God bless you.
@Roger Mills I'm not sure where you are coming from with all of your sudden accusations, nor do I understand what you mean by "suffer in the hands of Jesus" as well as the "nonsense armagedon."
I do hope you'll be able to settle all of your concerns about Christianity in your lifetime. :)

The best book on the end times I have ever read was Desmond Birch's Trial Tribulation and Triumph. A little dated (even for a book about the future) since he spends quite a bit of time dispelling myths about the year 2000. Still for collecting together approved Catholic prophecies about the end times it is hard to beat him.
I bought that book. He was on utube - Grace Force was the podcast. I agree with you that the book is really good on the end times.
The 13 PT series taken from the book is available through EWTN and is a must watch for those interested parties
Ps the series aired around 20 yes ago and was called 'the last things in time and eternity'

I suspect that things will get better again…for awhile, before it gets worse again. Focus each day on living the Faith and quit trying to predict the “day, time and hour”.
What is certain is that as humans our life will end most likely before the world

this is the first video I feel you've used "protestant" as a sort of gentle curse word. I'd be curious to hear a piece on how sweepingly you leverage that usage.
Because protestant religions are founded by men not Jesus. How many protestant faiths are there 1000s
@@mikeyetman8407 were the pharisees of God or men?
I'm so glad someone can teach the truth, instead of teaching that the church will be taken out of the world before things get tough. ✝️🛐
"... Uganda, billboards, contraception, being influenced by Protestants diluting the faith." Hello Matt, speaking of diluting the Faith and Apostasy. How about the Roman Catholic Bishops, Priests and seminaries? Could you dedicate a future program to this?
Definitely one of the most cringe worthy right-wingnut utterances Matt has made recently . Contraception is not a Protestant plot. In a country stricken by heterosexual transmission of AIDs, it saves lives, saves families.
The end is always near. As soon as Jesus went into heaven it was game time.
Gospel truth is Gods Word. Thank you

At the end, we need suffering as much as the early Church needed suffering. They laid down their lives as the seeds of the Church but we in the end days need to suffer for the multitude that is in purgatory so that we can push the Church Militant and the Church Suffering into the Church Triumphant.
Across the globe many Christians have been laying down their lives for decades in huge numbers. We just haven't seen persecution here to that degree.
To be Catholic is to accept that we will die for God, and for Jesus. It's scary, but I will meet the enemy knowing to deny my Lord & Savior is to accept hell as my eternal damnation.
Yeah, it's bad! From Australia
Same in USA
We must be on our guard concerning Private Revelations.
Here's the things... The "end of the world" is always certain and imminent for each of us...
So much time is spent of speculating the day or the hour (which of course we know we can't know), but one thing is certain for us all, we will all experience the end of this world upon our death.
Memento Mori... It may be sooner than we think, but it will be.
Yes, love this comment! 👏🏻
Great comment and it’s here
I am a Protestant, and I enjoy watching this show and Trint Horns. It is just sad to see cheap shots like the one we see at the 45-second mark where he speaks to the "fundamentalist protestants trying to count the day and hour from Daniel 9."
We can all use this way of talking to diminish the other side. For example, what if a Catholic came across a protestant channel and heard the conversations on some topic a Catholic disagrees with a begin like this. "We are all aware of the enumerable amount of evil the fundamentalist Catholics produced during the inquisition." It would burn down bridges more than build them.
I almost stopped listening to this interview, but this channel does not usually disparage protestants, so I continued to watch. I liked his overall message, and I thought he spoke well and made excellent points other than the Church going through the tribulation, but this is a minor disagreement. But he should consider how he frames his message and how it would affect those who may be willing to listen to what he says.
Thank You for the reminder...I mentioned to a devout member of my church a few weeks ago that I have heard some wonderful sermons from protestant churches...I was actually talking about things I have heard on youtube and such...but he looked at me as if I had been unfaithful or perhaps had gone crazy. I think we need to have more love and understanding between us especially when you realize that there are many Americans today who have never stepped foot inside a church or who can name even one disciple of Christ. It feels to me that we are on the same team. I do come across very negative things said about us Catholics from time to time online and on Christian radio. Its always good to point this out because we all fall short of our Saint hood from time to time. ♡
@@stefkadank-derpjr1453 Thank you for your rely, it was well written and I think you and I have the same mindset; basically we are on the same team.
When we listen to each other we find that we agree on thevast majority of issues with only minor differences. Just imagine if during WWII the Allied forces decided not to work together due to the same kinds of disagreements that Cathorlics and Prodistants fight over. We would be living in a different world now. Imigine if instead n infighting Prodistans and Catholics worked together for the Kingdom of God, we would live in a different world, a better one.
Thank you again for your kind words brother and God bless
I hear you on that. Every once in awhile there will be a slight dig condemning the Protestant Reformation. Yet sounding like they all good. The point of the Reformation was because of the lingering and continuing problems the church had at the time. Since then both sides have made even bigger blunders.
Still at the core we believe the same things. That’s the important part. Just as someone else mentioned about getting solace and understanding from a Protestant sermon. I to have had similar experiences going during a mass at St Patrick’s in NYC. I’m an Elder in my church but that doesn’t forbid me from receiving a wonderful message by a Roman Catholic Priest. In the end it’s the message that’s important not the way it comes to us.
Amen. Great to hear a Catholic extol knowing scripture.
Great talk and how comes I did not have this on my list of Chanels. We are at the end times and we either all accept it and be alert, pray, be holy, kind, there is zero way out than pray together, beg the lord irrespective of our faith and just pray. Chastisement is inevitable, evil must stop and our lady’s immaculate heart must triumph.
Thank you to Ralph and Matt for a great and powerful interview. God bless you always!
We are loosing Christian’s because the Shepherds are not teaching the Truth of Gods Word and Will And as a result sin is rampant. No one is willing to stand up for what’s is right and good - so evil is confusing even the elect
The River Euphrathes has been dry already. Remember Euphrathes first appear in Genesis as one of the four rivers.
Jesus is speaking of the Living Water as the Gospel.
In Revelation in the New Jerusalem the river that divided the city originates from the Throne of God.
In Genesis the river originates in Eden is coming from one headwater.
The Headwater is the Gospel and there are four synoptic Gospels .
The Euphrathes river drying up means the Gospel has not been preached in the area and East of it thus paving the way for the Battle of Good and Evil. It's the same Battle that Adam and Eve were fighting when they eat the Fruit of Knowledge of Good and Evil.
Because of radicalism, these Battle will manifest into the physical world.
Thus looking East of the Euphrathes river are billions of souls who haven't heard or understood the Gospel. Indeed the river runs dry in the area.
And the best weapon to wield in these Battle is the Holy Rosary which is the Gospel itself woven into prayers in its mysteries.
THANK U🙂 GOD BLESS U😇
St Michael prayer 🙏
Yes Mother Angelica EWTN all over the world, Catholic Religion The True Religion 🙏
Don't forget about the Triump of Mary's Immaculate Heart
Uh, oh. Beyond sobering. Grateful for Ralph Martin’s explanations and his rebuttal to the Jesuit, Sosa’s, unbelievable comments. Mr. Martin really knows his scripture!
Oh yes! The Wycliff Bible translators! I've been blessed to have "joined" a setting that missionaries (Americans) have been involved with that organization, the lady who was a neigbour & heading our Bible study bcame my dear friend! She even gave me a "finished product" of a new testament -- wait, sorry my memory is cloudy, was it 3? -- gospels in the books of Mark, Luke, Mathew...? It was consecutive gospels of the disciples of new testament translated to my Visayan language, the formal language of Hiligaynon (I'm from Bacolod, Negros Occidental, Visayas region in the Philippines, residing in Luzon & I had plenty neighbours who were American missionaries, I've met a few British who were "Navigators" another Christian group) & I am a witness to GOD'S GLORY bcoz I had a first hand experience when I asked GOD for whom was that book for? Bcoz I could read & speak english. Lo & behold!! As time only tells (bcoz GOD IS THE OWNER OF TIME) it turned out to be for an old man in our neighbourhood! In a few years after I was able to give it to him, mind u🙂 he was brought to my doorstep, though my husband & I knew him around the community (ah! Its a rich story to tell how it simply happened) he fell ill & passed away. His wife happened to tell me, when I saw her, how he had been reading it as he was bed ridden befor he passed away. Am sorry, am still geting teary eyed right now, oh glory glory! 😇😭😇 thank u😇 for this opportunity to share this beautiful story.
Matt needs to bring back his beard :)
Ralph hesitated at one point when he was wondering where the "period of peace" promised by Our Lady at Fatima would fit with the apparent end of time events we are living through. I wonder if we have had the period of peace : from 1946 (Hiroshima and Nagasaki) to 2003 (the Iraq war). That covers all my adult life in which I always assumed I was living in peaceful times of progress that included the fall of Communism. There were wars, but everything seemed solvable and we could always rely on the USA...
Ever heard of the Korean and Vietnam war? The Cold War was not a peaceful time
There has to be a world-wide illumination of conscience at some future point as an final act of mercy. This has been foretold by various Saints and mystics. A book named 'The Warning' deals with this and I would assume this period of peace would follow
What about Vietnam Nam Korea on an on
@@davidburtenshaw9423 I believe the alleged illumination is included in the prophecies of the 3 days of darkness where 3/4 of the population will perish. These are all private revelations though.
That’s the problem with speculation. Mankind, especially Christians, keep looking to figure everything out instead of focusing on living a life of repentance and holiness to really prepare for the end times.
7:35 He's referring to Our Lady of the Good Event.
Nobody knows really how will be….
Just be ready, could be anytime…🙏🏻
I respect these type of shows; however, too much attention and energy is dedicated on “the end of times” rather than evangelizing and focusing on the gospel. Please provide ideas and ways for people to start converting and preparing for a good confession, how to live Holy Mass, how to properly take Holy Communion, how to pray the Holy Rosary, how to read the Bible, how to consecrate oneself to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, how to do an hour of adoration, how marriages should live and raise good Catholic children, how to live sex life within the marriage, etc; These topics will be of great help rather than instilling fear and creating more anxiety for people. We have so many confusion going on in the world and very little evangelization is happening.
My experience is that too little attention is dedicated to the "end of times" which by the way is very important part of the teachings of the Church since the beggining. To the point that many Catholics do not even know anything about the Second Coming and the Final Judgment and the Final Resurrection; doctrines all mentioned in the Apostolic and Nicene Creeds.
Ralph Martin writes and talks about all those things. His book the Fulfillment of All Desire is full of profound wisdom on how to live authentic Catholic spirituality -
It may not be near and very possible we're going through a bad time.
Everyone I know except non-Catholics are going through a terrible phase.
This could be our Russia 1917.
It escapes me how you could think Russia 1917 was a bad thing
The Church might not have the numbers it once had, but those who are faithful are true hearts, that’s for sure.
The future's uncertain and the end is always near.
It's historical context too, Emperor Nero was considered the "Antichrist" when this prophecy was first written. The statistical likelihood of witnessing the literal heat-death of the known universe (caused by the Dragon Ball Z style showdown between Jesus and Satan) happening within the lifespan of the people born in the last 50 years, is still not great betting odds.
Uh, the devil is already defeated at the cross. As far as a show down... I know the end of that story.
@@michellelaudet5363 well yeah, but is it one and done or an endless cycle of good vs evil? Because it seems like Christians have about as much accuracy predicting the apocalypse as the Mayans did, and they didn't see Cortez coming until it was too late.
@@OpEditorial I lived in France for twenty years, and I lived in the USA for a bit longer... The French are basically secular humanists as a nation. There is a ton of segregation, hatred, jealousy, envy, anger, destruction of property as well as destruction of humans, etc... and the USA is quickly catching up.
As for end times, no one will know. the end will come as a thief in the night... it will be as when in the days of Noah, before the flood much eating, drinking, celebrations. marriages before the end... and the end will be rapid according to Daniel 7 years long, but that time will seem unendingly dark and hopeless.... But when that will be? As you said about the Mayans... here's an interesting fact, Jesus is the Messiah, yet some, many, missed him.
Yes Nero was the first type of Anti Christ but St. John mentioned there will be many anti Christs.
For example there are tribulations in our own lives but John spoke of a Great Tribulation like Daniel a near end times prophet and an end times prophet as the Seal opens up.
The Son of perdition or Son of Lawlessness is an individual a political figure as the final false prophet is a religious figure.
@@michellelaudet5363 all good points, nobody will know the hour, it's somewhere between: right at this moment and hundreds of billions of years from now. Either way I just hope there isn't a QR code to scan when it all goes down.
When all things start to fall down around us, and many opinions confuse us ... Jesus left us with Peter to guide us. Trust Jesus and trust Peter. Watch out for people who tell us to walk away from Peter!
Viva Cristo Rey!
I wish I could ask Dr. Martin, I have a friend who's discerning a call to the priesthood, but he's worried that many seminaries are corrupted. Which seminary is a good and faith filled seminary that he could go to?
Agree - what we thought was a “conservative” Supreme Court, is no match for the culture. Not the last bastion we had hoped.
Sometimes I think that the scriptures were altered or misunderstood and it was written that the end will come for each person individually. Everyone expires. So, maybe it was changed just a little to try and make more of an impact and to help control the people. Religion is a form of social control, for the good of course. I mean the scriptures did pass through many hands and was written and rewritten countless times. So maybe that's all the end refers to, our individual end. Just a thought.
Again, this is why I am leaving society. Going to do my own thing and let these miserable humans destroy themselves. Im done with it.
Step1. Re-convert ( Leaning now towards catholicism but still like the orthodox idea of theosis)
step2. Do my military service
Step3. Leave society and focus on theology, Philosophy, and solitude. Essentially become what one view said "A hermit"
Step4. Enjoy life.
Our faith is partly about community. You NEED others to see God. "Society" is an aspect of faith, and without it, you'll be misled. Your hate against other people is a wall put up in your heart by the devil, by evil. Learn to love before you decide to be a grumpy old grinch in the woods. "Faith, Hope, and Love" CANNOT be achieved alone. I know hermits that still rely on others, still rely on towns, villages, cities to live and survive, and to gather their prayer from. Your idea of being a hermit is completely deluded by anti-social elements that do NOT come from God. Conversion is not a step in a process. It is an act of love towards God. "Love God, and love your neighbor".
Honestly, from what I’ve archived from taking time off away from people, I’ve noticed that I am feeling much better. I’m not saying I hate, more like I just don’t want to associate with people or as little as possible. I’m not a rude person, in fact I’m many of my interactions at college, or in the world I’m never the aggressor. I only become the aggressor after someone aggressive to me myself.
I don’t see how me wanting to be alone to contemplate God or the various aspects of nature in the world we live in is bad. While I’m sure society can be one path to God, I was of the impression that again taking time out and being alone can be as well.
Like one said “silence can be one of the greatest ways to hear God”
