Disinformation Utilized to Dilute Key Heavenly Messages
PURPOSE
The purpose of this brief document is to assist only those who have Eyes to See (1) (*) to identify yet another snare as part of the prelude to the False Christ.
(*) 'Eyes to See' is not a condition related to intellect - IQ level. It is a God given Grace.
Why make it "brief" if we could write a book rebuking this type of "revelation" by Esperanza and "endorsement" by Michael Brown?
Quite simple: We do not wish to be so clear as to alert those who fall for such snares - for they must fall since their names do not appear in the Book of Life (2). Does the reader think that we, the upholders of the Catholic Faith (3), are taking an UnChristian attitude? No, no! On the contrary, we are precisely obeying He Who sent us. Remember what He said when He was asked why He spoke in parables? Let us remind you in case you may have forgotten:
"Because it has been given to you (1) to know the mysteries
of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given."..... Therefore I speak to them in
parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand....
Lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, lest they should understand with
their hearts and be converted so that I should heal them." [Matthew 13:11, 13,
15]
INTRODUCTION and COMMENTS
The following paragraphs regarding the "yet another visionary and prophet" Esperanza, published by Michael Brown in Spirit Daily (4), have been referred to us. To save time and space we have added our comments in bold blue letters in between the quoted text.
"It was Esperanza's view that Jesus would soon come in a different way than He did 2,000 years
ago, that He would appear to many people, in a way that would be more private. She held this view
up until her death. "It is very different than what people think," she had told us in December of
2003. "He is going to come in silence... People will realize He is among us little by little.
She speculated that the manifestation -- which sounds different than the actual Second Coming, and would precede what she called an "awakening" -- would occur in "from ten to twenty years" and that He would come "in the same way as He resurrected, as an apparition." "That's why I have been saying to be ready, because things are starting to happen," asserted the mystic, who was attached to the Church-approved apparition site of Betania....
Whatever the case, we take Esperanza's predictions seriously -- not as Gospel, but seriously -- due to striking previous hits and due to the holiness she exhibited right unto her own death.
Moreover, her words seem to connect with those of St. Bernard of Clairvaux (1090-1153) -- who once allegedly preached that in addition to the Second Coming, there would be some kind of intermediate appearance.
"We know that there are three comings of the Lord," St. Bernard is widely quoted as saying. "The third lies between the other two. It is invisible, while the other two are visible. In the first coming, He was seen on earth, dwelling among men; He himself testifies that they saw Him and hated Him. In the final coming, 'all flesh will see the salvation of our God, and they will look upon Him Whom they pierced.' The intermediate coming is a hidden one; in it only the elect see the Lord within their own selves, and they are saved. In His first coming Our Lord came in our flesh and in our weakness; in this middle coming, He is our rest and consolation."
That insight ties strikingly to what otherwise was a confusing part of what we have quoted and called the "1990 prophecy" (an anonymous and alleged locution from December of 1990 that has proven accurate in many regards).
Said that prophecy -- which also seemed to indicate more a manifestation than a final coming -- "I will come not as a man of flesh, but like My mother, who already nurses Me and holds Me in her arms, as a light and power. I will manifest Myself in a series of supernatural events similar to the apparitions but much more powerful. In other words, My second coming will be different than My first, and like My first, it will be spectacular to many but also unknown initially to many, or disbelieved. Yet truly I tell you, the arrogance of the world will have been broken, and so many more than normal will believe.
"I will come in towering light.."
This is nothing more than a misapplication of the
Biblical teaching about the manifestation of the Kingdom of God - a manifestation that has
been taking place since the moment Jesus started His earthly ministry. As an example:
"The kingdom of God does not come with observation; nor will they say, 'See here!' or 'See
there!' For indeed the kingdom of God is within you." [Luke 17:
20-21]
Or, at the very least, this description of the "intermediate coming" of "Christ" is very reminiscent of the way that the Theosophists expect their "World Teacher" to appear. As an example: The return of Buddha - in the manifestation of Maitreya (5) - has been described for years just like that. It is interesting to note, however, that recently, their manifestation of Maitreya has been polished to sound more like a Catholic version of the Second Coming.

Yes, this is the same Church (Administration) that
ignored Fátima, at the time it should not have been ignored ("Monday morning quarter backing" is
not acceptable after 150 million deaths
(6)), ignored Rosa
Mystica (7), ignored
Garabandal (8),
downplayed Kibeho (9),
still thinking about Medjugorje
(10), glossed over Akita
(11) and continue to ignore that
they live in the State of Denial
(12), not the State of the
Vatican.
Whatever the case, we take Esperanza's predictions seriously -- not as Gospel, but seriously -- due to striking previous hits and due to the holiness she exhibited right unto her own death.
For those who do not have Eyes to
See: Please do take them very seriously, we certainly would not want you to
be converted! God forbid! [See Matthew 13:11, 13, 15]
Moreover, her words seem to connect with those of St. Bernard of Clairvaux (1090-1153) -- who once allegedly preached that in addition to the Second Coming, there would be some kind of intermediate appearance.
"Allegedly preached" -
Read: Possibly a lie invented by someone to use his name to promote their plan.
However, for the record: If St. Bernard of Clairvaux indeed preached that - he was and continues
to be wrong (13) . But
if you want to believe it is right..... please do, be our guest!, we certainly do not wish to
contradict what the future holds for you. [See Matthew 13:11, 13, 15]
Are we going to try to be more Merciful than Christ? Of course not!

A "prophecy", "anonymous" and form an "alleged
locution" Whatever! If anyone wishes to believe that too, Bom Voyage!
The Catechism of the Catholic Church (14) teaches only a Second Coming that will come after the full inclusion of Jews in the Messiah's salvation and a final trial that will shake the Church, along with arrival of the anti-christ. "On Judgment Day at the end of the world, Christ will come in glory to achieve the definitive triumph of good over evil," states the Church, without mentioning or dispelling an intermediate manifestation."

EPILOGUE
Please forgive some of our remarks that almost border in sarcasm, but we neither claim to be holy (as most understand the word "holy") nor claim to be superhuman, and we are reaching the point of, using common language, having more than a "belly full" of the idiocies that are being quoted, printed, endorsed and, worst of all, believed!
We publish what He Wills for the benefit of His Children, those who have Eyes to See - regardless of how sinful their lives have been up to now and regardless what faith they profess or not. More specifically, for those who are not to be swept away as St. John warns us about in the Book of Revelations. To wit:
And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought
forth the man child. And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might
fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a
time, from the face of the serpent. And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a
flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood. And the
earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the
dragon cast out of his mouth. And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with
the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus
Christ. Revelation [Rev 12:13-17]
Water as a flood: Water is our sustaining fluid but coming from the mouth of the serpent is polluted like so many "messages" (15), "visions" (16), "locutions" (17) are and which are carrying away from the truth the Children of God who have to swim upstream to reach safety - the truth that shall set them free (18).
