THE RULER OF THE WORLD vs YOUR KING

 1. The ruler of the world.
     The Liturgy of Holy Week begins with Christ being tempted in the desert. And the devil showed Christ the glories of the world; glories created by God but who allowed the devil to use it to test man. And who is the prince or ruler of the world? Christ answered ‘the devil.’ 
     We are all acquainted with rulers of the world, like the ruler of the US, the ruler of England, the ruler of France, etc., etc. But who is really behind each one of them?  If they are within the Catholic Church, it is God who rules through them. But if they are outside the Catholic Church like most head of nations, then it is Lucifer, the prince of the world. 
     
     God had allowed those outside the Church to be slaves of the devil to join the devil in testing  mankind. And the test is whether man  will chose the devil or chose Christ. God will not remove the devil from the world; otherwise He will take away the tests. 
     Catechism tells us that the three enemies of the soul are the world, the devil and the flesh. There, we can see that God had allowed the devil to use the world and our own flesh to test us. Everything, therefore, must be viewed in the context of a test. Our concern is to pass the test. Everything that is happening today are tests. 

2. How does the devil use the world and the flesh?  
     The devil uses the entire world, creatures and men, to tempt men to please himself instead of God. If we succumb it will be our condemnation.
     Let us see how the devil will accomplish this. The devil will use two things and he will spin a web of sin around these two thing. The two things are man, the agent,  and money, an external object. Let us see how the devil combines these two things to transform his diabolical nature into human form. 

3. It is the same devil in different heads of nations. The rulers are man spiritually possessed by the devil. Different heads of states but the same devil; so their plans do not change. It happened rarely in earlier times. It has become the rule from the 1800 up to the present.
     Scriptures had many stories of men physically possessed by the devil. These are not necessarily evil men. God allowed the devil to physically possess them so He can show his power to the crowd. So most physical possessions in Scriptures were meant for the glory of God.  Physical possessions today can be for the glory of God or because of evil in certain people.
     The more serious case is the case of Judas. This was spiritual possession. This occurred on Good Friday. There we see a man blinded by money; here we have the two elements needed to  experience  the devil in human form. Good Friday is a pre-figure of this century. Our era is Good Friday according to St. Bonaventure  and as explained by Pope Benedict in his priestly thesis. Today, the devil, as on Good Friday, will appear in human form like Judas, a man spiritually possessed by the devil. We have a case here where the devil has become, sort of, the soul of man. Of course, Judas still has his own soul but the devil had possessed his soul and controls it. 

4. How does a man change into a devil? 
     St. Thomas of Aquinas wrote that it begins with a man loving himself inordinately. Doing this, he excludes God and neighbor from this love. He loves himself alone; as a consequence he will hate everybody else and show this by doing evil to all men. 
     Loving himself he wishes to please himself alone. He will do everything to please himself and will demand that everybody please him. Woe to him who goes against his will.
    To do what he pleases and to force others to please him, he needs money; lots of it. He needs money to get what he wants and bribe others to do what he wants. 
     Seeing what money can do, he begins to love money, which is a being inferior to him. He ceases to be a human. 
     In loving to do one’s own will, he begins to consider himself as a god and treats himself as a god bestowing upon himself all the powers of a god. He, also, expects everybody else to treat him as a god. 
     As a god,  life and death becomes his prerogative.  He can abort babies, euthanize old people, assassinate heads of states that do not want to give him oil, destroy whole nations that refuses to allow oil pipelines through their territory and nuke Russia who he conveniently blame for losing an election. 
    As a god he will try to get what belong to others whether it is resources or a presidential office. Or children of immigrants for his satanical orgies. 
     Like a spoilt brat, when he does not get what he wants he goes on a rant and blames the whole world just as Eve blamed the snake and Adam blamed Eve. He thinks he is god. Except that he is not a god. He is insane. 
     Most head of states today and their whole administration acts this way. This is clearly seen before and after  the last US election because of the extent of its news coverage. Call them the ‘covetous gang.’ We shall see an exception in No. 8.
     This gang, possessed by Satan, rules the whole world because their master is the prince of the world, Christ said. Like Judas, Satan entered them because of their covetousness or inordinate love for money and their belief that they are gods. 

5. What is happening today is what was prophesied on Good Friday. Pagan Rome, whose prince is Satan, ruled the whole world. Where even all the priests (Pharisees and Sadducees) were subservient to them. All united in the destruction of Christ. 

6. They act as one body united in their evil intent. They control all the banks in the world. They dictate who will be president and what nation should exist. They decide the economies of nations seeing to it that the whole world remains poor with no existing middle class. They decide how many inhabitants the world should have according to what they believe will make the world their heaven here on earth with all the rest as their slaves. 
     To control the population and prevent it from heating up the economy they reduce population through abortion, euthanasia, through regional wars, through revolutions and reign of terrors.  
     They control all top positions in politics and religion to facilitate their control of the entire world through the United Nations, a league totally at their service. It is an organization thought of at the very pits of hell. 

 7.  Who are the subjects of these rulers? 
     These rulers, guided by Satan, had been preparing their subjects, the world,  from the beginning of time. Preparations were hastened in the 1800 and is fully accomplished today.  The subject must be like zombies; completely devoid of the use of their intellects and minds.  Education was focused in teaching the world to become workers of the ‘covetous gang,’ workers that need just a little entertainment to be contented. So entertain them with games, like the Coliseum of Rome where killing Christians was the main attraction. Today, Christians, particularly killing Catholics is the main attraction that is not published in the main media. While Catholics are physically being killed everywhere, their souls are being killed by Pope Francis everywhere. It is all part of Satan’s plan, made in hell and accomplished world wide today including in the Vatican. News and exorcists had been saying that Lucifer had been enshrined in the Vatican. Our Lady said the same in LaSallete. 
    
      Because the world is worldly, and because the church had become ‘in and of the world,’ Lucifer had become prince of both. 

8. ‘A breathing spell’ prior to the final chastisement.  
     God in His goodness had sent His Son to teach mankind the way to true happiness here on earth and in the next life.  And God continues to send prophets, with the help of Scriptures and Tradition,  to guide those who are faithful to Him. This is the act of redemption. 
     History had shown, man had always rejected God’s ways to follow their own way towards their own concept of happiness. 
    When man insist  on going their own way and rejects God’s ways, He intervenes as one last chance in the midst of their infidelity. This is called ‘a breathing spell’ prior to the final chastisement leading to condemnation.
     This last ‘breathing spell’  is meant for those who have begun their life of Faith, to perfect their Faith and proceed to Charity.  There is nothing here for those who are still outside the church. 

     When the said souls have reached the perfection of Faith, God shortens that ‘breathing period’ and  allows Satan to resume testing the Church.  This brief moment of Divine intervention is for those who have begun their conversions to finish their conversion. . It will end  when this goal is attained and the chastisement will resume.

9. During this brief moment of Divine intervention God will use ordinary laymen, not the hierarchy that had been proven to be unfaithful. He uses the weak, the simple, the poor, etc as He, himself said, instead of the hierarchy. St. Benedict, St. Francis. Kings like Charlemagne and other heads of state were mere laymen used by God. Today, God uses head of States to maximize their influence
     These heads of states do not effect supernatural or spiritual renewals in the church. They simply create the proper political atmosphere for the conversion of their nation. Due to the lack of faithful popes, cardinals, bishops and priests, God, himself, will do the spiritual aspect of conversion, true to His words; ‘destroy this temple and in three days I will rebuild it.’ He will rebuild; the hierarchical church will be completely incompetent to do it today for reasons found in the Book of Revelations. 
     These ‘brief moments’ is happening in many places. It was first noticed in the moral revival started by Putin in Russia; followed by England in Brexit. Then Duterte in the Philippines; Trump in the U.S. It has begun in Italy, Austria and Sweden. It is exploding in France with La Pen. It is not obvious yet in other countries but the pattern in everywhere. God is raising heads of states to create a political environ conducive to the life of conversion. Those heads of state do not know God’s movement. It is enough for them to do their job. God will do the rest. 

10. This brief moment of Divine intervention is just for a while. It will cease and Satan’s ranting will resume even more fiercely because he knows something we do not know. 
     We are experiencing a brief Christmas. A brief silent and peaceful night where we can view our source of true happiness for a moment. Keep in mind the destruction of Jerusalem is following. We have to make the most of this moment. Like the shepherds and the Magi we must go in haste to look for the Catholic Church, unrecognizable in swaddling clothes with Joseph and Mary, not with Dick and Harry. 
      A holy Christmas to all.
