Reading from Jeremiah

A reading from the Book of the Prophet Jeremiah

The word of the Lord came to me, saying:
Before I formed you in the womb
I knew you,
before you were born I dedicated you,
a prophet to the nations
I appointed you.
But do you gird your loins;
stand up and tell them
all that I command you.
Be not crushed on their account,
as though I would leave you crushed
before them;
for it is I this day
who have made you a fortified city,
a pillar of iron, a wall of brass,
against the whole land:
against Judah’s kings and princes,
against its priests and people.
They will fight against you but not
prevail over you,
for I am with you to deliver you,
says the Lord.

The word of the Lord. Thanks be to God.


Powerful! God is good and He is with us. This passage was from Sunday’s mass service. These bold and encouraging words are needed today as they were over two thousand years ago. We face a new evil today that our ancestors faced then. However, if we keep God in our hearts and Jesus in our souls then we will be protected. We must rise up against the new threat of the beast.

Today, is a new day, we have adapted new ways. Our old ways have phased. Our new ways are similar to the black plague, in an emotional state. I’m physically and spiritually ready for revolution; and mentally and emotionally ready for evolution. The sixties was a time of peace and love, which was a great movement. However, it was only the majority of one race and minimal of another whom lived it. Uncle Sam wasn’t too thrilled either. So the hate mixed in collapsed the movement. Now, forty years later, the new movement is of hate, which all races tend to side with. Uncle Sam, in many ways, can’t control this level of power without claiming martial law. Mental and spiritual anarchy is on the rise. Too many fatherless children run the streets; too many single mothers feel the beat. The beast seems to have been released from his heat. Prison cell in hell is where he dwelled. The hate in the world gave him right to unify his army in the night. Time to sweep the street and recruit his peeps. Harvest time is near. The sickle is being sharpened and prepared. I understand that the time is at hand. The Son of Man will grace our land. White robes will be handed out. Get yours and know without doubt, that you have been blessed by God. For everyone else will be judged hard. The war of Him vs. he will go down as the battle of battles so let’s pray for mercy.
