Revelation of Christ the King

“Pilate said to Jesus, Are you the king of the Jews?” Jesus had never seemed less like a king than at that moment, He seemed like a failure. It was a nice idea, a beautiful idea, but it wasn’t realistic enough it seemed. If you had taken a poll at that moment of the people in Jerusalem – how many of you still think that this is the king? Probably not 1% would have said it is the king. And yet, this was the step that was preparing the great victory of His kingship. And of course, we’ve heard that a lot before, but we need to keep hearing it, because it’s always when we’re actually living it, it’s hard to recognize it. Because Christianity today seems to a lot of people like a failure, like a nice idea, but which hasn’t worked, and Christ’s kingship seems absent. And so this day is a day for us who are struggling, who were, as the disciples at that moment, struggling to hold on to hope. This feast is a feast to strengthen our faith and hope in Jesus and these times that we’re living as we’re sharing with Him right now, the cross, this feast is to strengthen us in hope. And so we have two great because we need hope so badly today. Hope can make all the difference between a person just giving up, even taking their own life and being able to hold on. And so hope is vital for us today, and this is a great feast of hope. Well, say, like a little baby in his mother’s womb can’t see the sun, and so if someone is talking about the sun, you would say, well, I’ve never seen it. That doesn’t sound like it’s not at all what I’ve experienced. But once he’s been born, then everyone who’s been born, we can see the sun. We know the sun. And so we’re still in that stage here in our life, here on Earth where we can’t see the son of Jesus, kingship. So we need faith, and that’s why today we have these two great prophecies that we had. One, I’ll come back to the one from the Book of Revelations, but I want to share the prophecy we heard from Daniel today. “As the visions during the night continued, I saw one like a Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven. When he reached the Ancient One and was presented before him, the one like a Son of Man, received dominion, glory and kingship. All peoples, nations and languages serve Him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion that shall never be taken away. His Kingship shall not be destroyed.” So this is a dominion which is over all and which is forever, not like human kingships. And that’s very mysterious. It’s hard for us. We don’t know all that that’s talking about, those words. I want to share with you some words that Our Lord gave us. At one point, He said, when He’s talking about how the just receiving the Word of God in faith, even if we don’t understand it, brings graces. So he’s talking about so many of the messages He’s given us, He says, but it’s also true of Scripture. He says, “It is not necessary that you understand them or that you feel them, or that they make you feel good. What is important, My little ones, is that you receive them despite the pain, the incomprehension, the darkness.” So He’s saying that there’s a grace just in receiving with faith His Word, even if we don’t understand it, even if we don’t feel it, even if it doesn’t make us, as He says, feel good. In fact, the grace can even be greater, that and those occasions, because it’s more of an act of faith. And I think of our Blessed Mother when it says that. It said when Jesus was at 12 years old and they found Him in a temple, it said they didn’t understand His words to them, to Mary, didn’t understand what He, why He was saying that, but she kept the words in her heart. And so there’s a grace in just receiving the words of God, even if we don’t understand them. And so, and I think that’s a good introduction for a message that I want to share with you all today. It was a message that Sister received on this feast of Christ, the King, three years ago in 2021. And it was actually during the homily that she began receiving this message. So she had a much better homily than the rest of the people. So it was, it was given for Christ, the King, but also providential. It sheds a light on the Mission of Divine Mercy, because this is kind of a double celebration today, the Feast of Christ, the King, and the Mission of Divine Mercy, which in many ways, go together. And so it’s a kind of a long message, and you won’t remember it all. You won’t understand it all, but just the grace of receiving it with an open heart. Because when you do that, you’re giving God, you’re giving something to God. You’re giving Him an act of trust, an act of faith, by being open to what He’s saying. And only He can give us the understanding, but it’s up to us to try to be open, to receive with an open heart. So this was not a public message. None of the messages at that point were public. It was given for our little mission, but I think it can apply to many other people, because the mission is not just the community members, but it’s for all those who want to share the spirit. So this was the message. “I am king. From eternity to eternity, I am king. All dominion is mine. All power is mine. All authority is mine. I am king. Over all, over all time, over all creation. I am king. I will purify and cleanse My house. I will crush all imposters, seducers, and fornicators who have betrayed My name and My children. I will destroy the snakes, dragons and demons who, like a terrible infestation, have invaded My sanctuary, fetid, corrupt, causing so much illness among My little ones. I reign. Who can dispute My right. No one, no one, no one. My enough puts an end to all things. My enough is about to thunder over all creation. But first I bring forth as a doctor treating an infected wound, I bring forth all the filth. I allow the enemy to reveal himself more and more, uncovering his plans, bringing it forth into the light that it may be revealed before My children, that I might destroy all His works. I am king. I reign. I am the conqueror.” So He says, I am the conqueror, the king the conqueror. And this now He’s told us, this is the time of the reconquest. And then He speaks to us. He says, “Hold on, My children, hold on. Each second that you hold on to my promise, an everlasting promise, obtains the grace of light from My children, who live in the obscurity of filth. Do not despair, My children, My soldiers, I will come to your aid, to your rescue. Your captain has not forgotten you. Your God has not abandoned you. He is the ever faithful one. You will see, and your hearts will revive and rejoice. My little ones, whom I have put through the ringer of pain and purification. You say, what is left of us? In us? And I answer you, what is left is the refined gold, the foundation on bedrock. The light that cannot be extinguished. Absolute trust and faith in Me. You are My seasoned warriors. Though you feel weak, useless and effective, you have done battle. You are doing battle, and you shall do more battle for My sake, on behalf of those who are lost, to defend My honor, and I will rise up and vindicate you and raise up my sword and My shield on your behalf. You have My word, the word of your God, given to you as a pledge and a promise. Your God cannot lie. My God, My God. Why have you abandoned Me? This was My cry, and it has become yours too. I have shared even this with you, My beloved. The heart of your Jesus was torn to shreds by grief, by the pain of feeling abandoned, useless, of having to give more when there seemed to be nothing left to give. Up to the last job. I am joining you to this moment of the cross. Do not be afraid. I will not let you fall. You have trusted Me, and it shall not be in vain. Just as you see the events in the world unfold so quickly, and you see situations change so quickly, so swiftly and surprisingly so my hour shall arrive in an instant, and it shall unfold quickly and inexorably. I surround you with My holy angels in order to sustain you one minute more. They are your constant help. They bring you my hidden sustenance that you might not perish in the waiting. Do not give up My children. Do not despair. Do not fear. Each moment that passes is a moment closer to our hour. Endure with Me and help the others to endure without fear. The enemy unleashes torment upon torment of anguish and doubt, upon the hearts of My children. Help me to ward them off. Help me to defend them who would otherwise perish. I bless you, My children, My coworkers, My soldiers, My fellow victims, your Jesus is with you. He has not abandoned you. The Lamb who was slain, the victor. He who is, who was and who is to come, has spoken. Amen, I am coming.” So that’s the message He gave. And I’ll just end by just rereading this passage we had from the Book of Revelations. “Jesus, Christ is the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood, who has made us into a kingdom, priest for his God and Father. To him be glory and power for ever and ever. Amen. Behold, he is coming amid the clouds, and every eye will see Him, and even those who pierced Him, all the peoples of the earth will lament him. Yes, amen, I am the Alpha and the Omega, says the Lord God, He who is and who was and who is to come. The almighty.” Amen.
