What Are The Prophecies That Jesus Fulfilled

  There are many prophecies in the Bible that Jesus had fulfilled. According to the video below there are over 300 different prophecies. Bible prophecy has always been a very interesting subject to me. I was always fascinated by reading something in Scripture that gave hints as to the coming of the Messiah Jesus Christ. I know that some people in other faiths do not see these things and therefore have different beliefs. Well I believe that God gave us a free will to make certain choices. So I believe that we should understand and respect their choices.  There seems to be a lack of respect for people and what they believe. I think we owe it to God to respect all our brothers and sisters. With that respect comes love for one another and I believe that is what Jesus wants.



                           
                                   
              Proof of God - 300 Prophecies that Jesus Fulfilled from the Bible by Stoyan Ivanov

  There are many different prophecies in the old testament about the coming of the Lord. Many people were looking for a great king to come. That I believe is why the Jewish people and others did not recognize Jesus as the one who was to come. He was not exactly what they were looking for. Hopefully many will see the videos and read in scripture for themselves and discover the entire truth. Unfortunately many people are not provided the entire truth or message. It is not necessarily that they have been deceived, but just never had the whole picture. That is why I loved it when I heard various people on EWTN explain that the Catholic Church is the fullness of the faith. In other words other faiths just don't have the whole picture. I do believe that one day we will all have the whole picture and all eyes will be opened.
 


           


  Today we see many different prophecies being fulfilled before are very eyes. Sometimes I don't think we all see it. Alot depends on who you are listening to. There are many Protestants, Catholics and Evangelical preachers that are trying to spread the news on what is going on with prophecy in the world. Sometimes I do feel that we may be too quick to say something and make mistakes about a subject and what it has to do with prophecy. I think we should do just as Jesus told us to do. Here is a link to some interesting reading from EWTN https://www.ewtn.com/expert/answers/endtimes.htm .

           
                         Several Catholic End Time Prophecies by Dana Horochowski

  
There are so many different views on Prophecy and what it going on in the world I am not sure who to believe. There are people saying the rapture could happen any day and others say we will go through Armageddon and then the rapture will happen. Here is a link to various bible verses on the end times http://www.openbible.info/topics/signs_of_the_end_times . Here is yet another website with what Jesus said on the Mount Of Olives in various bibles http://biblehub.com/matthew/24-3.htm .
         
        Matthew 24: The Day and Hour Unknown 


36“But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son,f but only the Father. 37As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. 38For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark; 39and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. 40Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other left. 41Two women will be grinding with a hand mill; one will be taken and the other left.

42Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come. 43But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what time of night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into. 44So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.
45“Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom the master has put in charge of the servants in his household to give them their food at the proper time? 46It will be good for that servant whose master finds him doing so when he returns. 47Truly I tell you, he will put him in charge of all his possessions. 48But suppose that servant is wicked and says to himself, ‘My master is staying away a long time,’ 49and he then begins to beat his fellow servants and to eat and drink with drunkards. 50The master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he is not aware of. 51He will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the hypocrites, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.


        Basically we should always keep watch as Jesus said.

Proof That There Is A Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit

Trinité Grandes Heures Anne de Bretagne
  Ever since I can remember growing up in the Catholic Church I was taught about the Trinity. Yes the Father, Son and Holy Ghost. I have heard many people say oh there isn't any Trinity. Well I believe they are wrong in not believing in the Trinity. I believe the proof is in the Old Testament and the New Testament. All we have to do is do some reading and it becomes very clear.
  In Genesis Chapter 1 Verse 26 we read,  Then God said, "Let US make man in OUR image, according to Our likeness" .  What we see is that God is using Plural Pronouns with the Us and Our. So why would he use plural pronouns if there wasn't more than one person. We see all through Genesis verses about God and the Spirit Hovering over the waters for example. Then God talks about the light of the world and we see in other scripture where Jesus is referred to as the light of the world. There are many other verses that give proof of the Trinity throughout the Old Testament. Here is a link to some excellent reading http://evidencetobelieve.net/the-holy-trinity-in-scripture/ .
  One of my favorites is when John the Baptist is baptizing people and Jesus comes to him to be Baptized. We see Jesus and hear God say this is my son in whom I am well pleased and John also sees the heavens part as the Holy Spirit in the form of a dove comes down upon Jesus. Right there we see the three persons of the Trinity. Here is a link to some interesting proof from the Old Testament about the Trinity http://www.biblicalcatholic.com/apologetics/a111.htm . Also here is some interesting information from the Catholic Encyclopedia http://www.catholic.org/encyclopedia/view.php?id=5222 . My advise about any subject is to read what was written by the particular religion so you get their proper view and not something that is not correct due to someones incorrect interpretation .
  
Here is a small paragraph below the video with some very interesting reading about the Catholic Church. I would check out the website at this link to read for yourself http://www.olrl.org/apologetics/cathansr.shtml .

                            




"Why do Catholics believe that God is three Persons, called the Holy Trinity? How can God be three Persons and still be one God?
  Catholics believe there is one God consisting of three distinct and equal divine Persons – Father, Son and Holy Spirit – because on numerous occasions God has described Himself thus. The Old Testament gives intimations that there are more than one Person in God. In Genesis 1:26, God says, "Let us make man to our image and likeness." In Isaiah 9:6-7, God the Father revealed the imminent coming into the world of God the Son. In Psalms 2:7, we read, "The Lord hath said to me: Thou art my son, this day have I begotten thee." And in the New Testament, God reveals this doctrine even more clearly. For example, at the baptism of Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit appeared in the form of a dove, and the voice of God the Father was heard: "This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased." (Matt. 3:16-17). In Matthew 28:19, God the Son commanded the Apostles to baptize "in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost." And in 1 Cor. 12:4-6, the Bible refers to God with three names: Spirit, Lord, and God – corresponding to the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Three divine Persons in one Godhead may be incomprehensible to the human mind, but that is to be expected. How can man fully comprehend God's infinite make-up when he cannot fully comprehend his own finite make-up? We have to take God's word for it. Also, we can satisfy ourselves as to the feasibility of God's triune make-up by considering various other triune realities. The triangle, for example, is one distinct form with three distinct and equal sides. And the clover leaf is one leaf with three distinct and equal petals. There are many physical trinities on earth, therefore a Spiritual Trinity, who is God in Heaven, is not against human reason – it is simply above human reason."
  So as you can see there are tons of information on the Trinity in the Catholic Church as well as other religions that believe in the Trinity. If you are looking for a website with good information on the Trinity and when it started check out this website link at Catholic Answers http://www.catholic.com/tracts/the-trinity . Many people believe that the Trinity was invented by the Catholic Church. Even if it was started by the Catholic Church the proof of the Trinity is shown throughout the Old Testament and the New Testament. It very well is a supernatural mystery that we will only be able to fully understand when we enter the Kingdom Of Heaven.

The Third Secret Of Fatima Revealed

  I recently read this and thought I would pass it along for whoever decides to read it.

Lucia reveals the 3rd secret of Fatima?


" For those who are not Catholic, there is a tradition that the Virgin Mary appeared to 3 children and made 3 predictions in 1917. From what I understand, one was the next world war, and then the rise and fall of communism in Russia. The third prediction, up until now, had not been revealed, since it was to cause world wide panic. From an email I received, this last prediction is now revealed.
Whatever you believe, and decide, Catholic, or Protestant, is up to you. I am just posting it to share the contents. I cannot validate that all this really is the 3rd prediction, unless it is confirmed by the Vatican in some way, or Lucia makes a public statement.
I put some references at the end of the post, in case people want to research it further. I could not find any official statement about a date for 2010, which is mentioned here. What is consistent is that a great falling away in the church will occur, and sin will prevail in the world, which is already obvious.

Bible Prophecy From A Catholic Stand Point

                
                                      Kenneth Copeland Recants And Returns To Catholicism!
                                                                    by husky394xp

  Most people in the Catholic Church don't either know much about Bible Prophecy or just don't talk about it. It seems like every time I search around the internet I read something about bible prophecy. It seems to be coming from all different religions. It also seems like everyone has a different view on when the rapture will happen. As for me I am not sure what to think about everything that is happening in the world. I see good and bad points from all different sides. It just seems as though the main subject is unfortunately hate.
  The only thing I see is we need to learn to respect each other no matter what we believe. I think what we really need is to have classes in schools on all religions and cultures where the main point is to respect the person for what they believe. We are all living in this world and if we do not get our ducks in a row the world will most likely collapse. That unfortunately seems to be the path we are on at the present time.
  Okay back to bible prophecy. I am no professional my self on this subject. I would look for Books On Bible Prophecy , but be aware of where it come from. When I spent some time in the assembly of God churches I remember watching Jack Van impe and Hal Lindsey all the time. It was always very interesting to listen to what they were saying. When I left the Assembly Of God church and finally went back to the Catholic Church I stopped watching all the bible prophecy shows on the TBN Network. I was watching more of EWTN on a regular basis. I guess as far as the rapture of the church goes I will be happy with whenever it happens.
  My advise is for people of all religions to read books written by the particular author in that religion so you do not get a corrupted view on the particular religion. No one should be bad mouthing or saying anything disrespectful about what one reads or believes. I do not believe we should be judging each other as it should be God doing the judging. As we have seen in the old testament he will take care of things for example Sodom and Gomorrah or with Moses and the Egyptians. When we start trying to take control we take it away from God and that always seems to displease God and that makes Satan happy. That definitely is not a good thing.
  My advise is really to look for books on Catholic Bible Prophecy Or Catholic Prophecies through Amazon, Ebay or one of the book stores such as Barnes and Noble. There are also plenty of videos on youtube about Catholic Bible prophecy and all other religions and prophecy in the End Times . The internet is full of every ones thoughts and impressions on the subject.

All Saints Day and All Souls Day

  November 1st was All Saints Day here in the west in the Roman Catholic Church. On this day all Catholic Honor all the Saints that are known as well as all the Saints that are unknown. No we do not worship them as some may think. In Catholic theology the day commemorates all those that have attained the beatific vision in Heaven. These people would have gone through Purgatory and were cleansed of all their sins. They would have been cleansed of all their venial sins as well as all their mortal sins. This is because no sin can enter Heaven, therefore it is cleansed before hand. Here are some excellent links to more information on All Saints Day http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_Saints'_Dayhttp://www.ewtn.com/saintsholy/saints/A/allsaintsday.asp .
 Here is video with music for All Saints Day. The best advise I can give is to read Books Written By Catholics on All Saints Day as well as for all subjects.

                                

   So today on November 2nd we are celebrating All Souls Day. All Souls Day is a day of prayer for the dead. It is also known as the commemoration of all the faithful departed. The prayer for the dead is documented in the Jewish Religion as well as in Early Christianity. On All Souls Day we are praying for those that have passed on, but may not have gone through purgatory or are in purgatory being cleansed of all their sins being venial or mortal. Here is a link to the Catholic Encyclopedia on All Souls Day http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/01315b.htm . Here is another excellent link on information about All Souls Day http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_Souls%27_Day .

                                                                     by tradcatholics

  Once again I would suggest to read Books Written By Catholics on All Saints Day and All Souls Day as well as all subjects. If you read something written by an author outside to the Catholic Church you will get an incorrect meaning of why Catholics celebrate various feast days and why. Here is an excellent video below with beautiful music just follow this link http://youtu.be/oNlgG_-wjpM.
  Thank You for Reading and watching the videos.
