Sunday, December 8, 2024 Bishop Robert Barron Cycle C Advent 2nd wk of Advent Share Read on USCCB Listen on Hallow Bible References Luke 3:1-6 Friends, in today’s Gospel, Luke quotes from the prophet Isaiah: “Prepare the way of the Lord, make straight his paths.” (Isa. 40:3) Advent is a great liturgical season of waiting—but not a passive waiting. We yearn, we search, and we reach out for the God who will come to us in human flesh. In short, we prepare the way of the Lord Jesus Christ. This preparation has a penitential dimension, because it is the season in which we prepare for the coming of a Savior, and we don’t need a Savior unless we’re deeply convinced there is something to be saved from. When we have become deeply aware of our sin, we know that we can cling to nothing in ourselves, that everything we offer is, to some degree, tainted and impure. We can’t show our cultural, professional, and personal accomplishments to God as though they are enough to save us. But the moment we realize that fact, we move into the Advent spirit, desperately craving a Savior. In the book of Isaiah (Isa. 64:7), we read: “Yet, O Lord, you are our father; we are the clay and you the potter: we are all the work of your hands.” Today, let us prepare ourselves for the potter to come.

This Is How It Begins: The Deep State Wants to Terminate the Constitution. This is how it always begins, justified in the name of national security. We’ve allowed ourselves to be seduced by the false siren song of politicians promising safety in exchange for relinquished freedom. We placed our trust in political saviors and failed to ask questions to hold our representatives accountable to abiding by the Constitution. We looked the other way and made excuses while the government amassed an amazing amount of power over us, and backed up that power-grab with a terrifying amount of military might and weaponry, and got the courts to sanction their actions every step of the way. We chose to let partisan politics divide us and turn us into easy targets for the government’s oppression. https://www.rutherford.org/publications_resources/john_whiteheads_commentary/this_is_how_it_begins_the_deep_state_wants_to_terminate_the_constitution

My name is Jake Lang & I have been a January 6 Hostage - incarcerated & tortured without a trial for 3 years, 10 months and 5 days by the Deepstate! I will not accept a pardon unless ALL Jan 6 Prisoners are pardoned. The 1561+ January 6 Political Prisoners are unanimously calling upon President Trump to SAVE OUR LIVES & follow his heart: Pardon All J6ers on Day One NO MAN LEFT BEHIND TO ROT IN THE GULAG! We have drafted the J6 Day One Freedom Petition ( J6Pardons.com ) that has been signed by tens of thousands of red blooded Americans, including Conservative Luminaries: Jim Hoft, Laura Loomer, Darren Beattie, Diamond & Silk, Grant Stinchfield, Brandon Straka, Cara Castronuova, Wayne Allyn Root, Ann Vandersteel, Doug Billings, Jeff Crouere, Behizy, Matt Wallce, Couy Griffin, Treniss Evans, David Sumrall & Suzzane Monk The weaponization of the DOJ has gone too far, and destroyed thousands of lives with an overzealous political persecution of Trump supporters. Trump knows how it feels to be railroaded, denied due process & an impartial jury. To be convicted by the corrupt media before you ever step foot in court. Every Jan 6er was entrapped by our own Federal Government at the Capitol, a clear set up to paint Trump & his supporters as domestic terrorists!! The hundreds of patriotic men who have assault charges (590 out of 1561 defendants) such as myself - were forced to defend our own lives & the lives of the unarmed women and elderly around us. The Capitol Police murdered a young defenseless woman Roseanne Boyland, a 38 year old angel from Georgia in my arms. After this many men including myself took up a serious defensive position. The numerous award winning documentaries on J6 prove that we were NOT the aggressors, but responded as brave American men do to oppression & violence: we stood our ground & defended those around us. Nearly 4 years I have traded tears and prayers with my brothers in the Gulag, getting to know each and every man & see his Godly character - I can unequivocally say this crop of patriots & Christians are the BEST AMERICANS WE HAVE: they are bold and brave, kind and concerned fathers & husbands, leaders and lovers of God and Country. Unbreakable, indomitable, unrelenting 1776 patriots who would die to defend our Constitution without moments hesitation. Humble hard workers, military veterans & school teachers. Bus drivers, doctors, Olympic athletes, NFL players, Broadway stars and missionary servants of the Lord. Carpenters, plumbers, roofers, electricians, fathers, husbands: Man amongst men. This outrageous stain on American history, similar to the Japanese internment camps in World War II, has gone on long enough. Its time to set free the captives, and break the shackles of two tiered justice. Its time to release, pardon & fully expunge / erase the records of every single January 6 Hostage. Point blank period. History calls us to this moment of National Reconciliation, the American people have all but lost their faith in the judicial system watching Trump & the J6 witch hunt continue for 4 long years. We need to restore belief & trust in American jurisprudence. The immediate release of the Jan 6ers is where we start this battle to revive our degenerated institutions that used to be sacred. We are trusting the new MAGA Attorney General will also put an end to the Weaponized DOJ and immediately HALT all new J6 investigations & arrests, and DISMISS all current pending cases. How many J6 grandmothers need to be ripped out of their homes at gunpoint by a tyrannical FBI GESTAPO squadron and railroaded into federal prisons before we STOP THIS MADNESS!?! My conscious is clear before the Savior of man: that just as blanket pardons were issued after the Civil War to restore national unity, we too should be looking at this national healing moment with reverence & earnest expectations! President Trump will not let us down, we stand behind you Mr. President! NOT A SINGLE J6ER WAS GIVEN A FAIR TRIAL!!!

THE ENEMY WITHIN! IS TRUMP THE SAVIOR OR THE FINAL PAWN IN THEIR PLAN? https://old.bitchute.com/video/aQWfGxuuq1Zx/

DUSTIN NEMOS AND MIKE ADAMS TALK PROPHECY, END TIMES, ANTICHRIST AND REVELATIONS Jesus was NOT a "#Jew" This is a LIE that has been inserted into history! Movies about the Savior generally start out claiming that Jesus was a "Jewish Rabbi" This is an outright LIE folks! The Son of Man was NOT a Jew! PERIOD! The Jews killed Him because he exposed them as the snakes they are! He spoke the #Truth, and JUST LIKE TODAY, the Jews used "Hate Speech" claims / laws to justify their murder of the Savior! So don't allow the Jew to continue BS'ing you folks! They were #Evil then, and they are evil now! And they desire to use "Hate Speech" laws to silence YOU speaking the TRUTH today THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS "HATE SPEECH" You have speech that is "Legal," and speech that is not! The ONLY SPEECH that is not legal is THREATENING SPEECH! Threats of grave bodily injury, threats against your life etc.... But "hate speech" simply does not exist! And any "government" trying to label people "Antisemites" for SPEAKING TRUTH are nothing more than servants of Satan himself. (Like #Trump for in stance) Trump claims that speaking the TRUTH about has Jew buddies should be punishable by DEATH! And that is because he is a servant of Satan himself. ANYONE trying to criminalize the speaking of the TRUTH is a servant of Satan. The illegitimate "government" is supposed to "Serve the People" but that is not what they do today.... And it's not what they've ever done! "Government" has always been a system of #Slavery Your "vote" means less than NOTHING! https://old.bitchute.com/video/AvvnhLd5m2bl/

Luke Chapter Two - The Savior Is Born https://pilgrimdevotions.com/luke-chapter-two-the-savior-is-born/

Threat of WWIII is NOT Fear Porn – Steve Quayle https://rumble.com/v5evt5x-threat-of-wwiii-is-not-fear-porn-steve-quayle.html Renowned radio host, filmmaker, book author and archeological dig expert Steve Quayle is sounding the alarm on the increasing possibility of nuclear war between NATO and Russia. Quayle says, “The threat of nuclear war is not fear porn–it’s real.” Quayle is not alone because for the second year in a row, the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists says, “A moment of historic danger: It is still 90 seconds to midnight. 2024 Doomsday Clock Statement.” Today’s escalation is caused by the fact that NATO is contemplating allowing Ukraine to fire long range missiles deep into Russia. Now, breaking news that the Biden Administration did give the go ahead to fire long range missiles into Russia from Ukraine. There is also this breaking headline from the Asian Times: “Biden, NATO effectively declaring war on Russia.” Quayle warns, “This is not a trial run, the Bay of Pigs or the Cuban missile crisis. This is World War III. . . .We are seeing people crazy or people demonically possessed, in my opinion, talking about launching western missiles, German, British or US missiles into Russia. The Russian Ambassador to the UN said on Friday (9/13/24), ‘If you do that, we will consider it an act of war against Russia, and all options are open to us, and none of your countries are safe.’ That’s the bottom line. All these years you warn ahead of time, and they mock you saying fear monger and fear porn. . . . Well, we are at the inception point for World War III. This will not be getting any better.” There have been nearly zero talks of peace in Ukraine, only requests for more weapons and more escalation with Russia. So, NATO is clearly wanting to start a world war. It’s not just Russia we will be fighting, but China, North Korea and Iran, too. Quayle says, “This is what is so pertinent about this show because, this weekend, everybody (NATO) is talking about giving President Zelensky (Ukraine) the okay to launch against Moscow, which will result in the thermal nuclear detonation of over 100 targets in the United States and another 100 targets plus in Europe. NATO Headquarters will be toast. D.C. will be toast. . . . The Bible has made this clear if God did not shorten the days for the elect, that’s the people who have accepted Jesus as Lord and Savior, there would be no flesh left alive. So, as we sit here podcasting, 250 million Americans are at risk.” Even if nuclear war does not break out and the world gets a reprieve for a while, the financial system will not be fixed. JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon is warning of something coming that is “worse than recession.” In simple terms, Quayle says, “Dimon is warning because the banks are in deep doo-doo. Last week, you may remember billionaire Warren Buffett started dumping Bank of America stock. . . . I am told that Buffett dumped, all told, up around $50 billion in BofA stock. . . . When Buffett does some like this, people notice and they followed suit. The banking stocks are in deadly peril. I have been in the precious metals business for 35 years, and we are now watching clients being blocked for sending wire transfers. I am talking about the biggest 5 or 6 banks because they are running short on cash. . . . At some point, they will cut off all credit cards. I don’t know when that will be, but eventually, they will be stopped. This is what my sources tell me is going to happen. The ‘when’ is up to God.”

WAS JESUS A MAN??? Yes or No??? It seems that every "Christian" out there thinks that Jesus IS the Most High..... And it just makes no sense! Examine these verses! You CANNOT argue that Jesus was not a MAN. He lived as a MAN, He died as a MAN, and He was even the self proclaimed "Son of MAN." But right here in Mathew 24:36 He tells you that "NO MAN KNOWS THE DAY" only the Father knows the day! Jesus is NOT the Most High folks! He is the SON of the most high! He does NOT pray to himself! He prays to HIS FATHER, the Most High! Matthew 24 1599 Geneva Bible 30 And then shall appear the [s]sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the [t]kindreds of the earth [u]mourn, and they shall see the Son of man [v]come in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. 31 And he shall send his Angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect, from the [w]four winds, and from the one end of the heavens unto the other. 32 [x]Now learn the parable of the fig tree: when her bough is yet [y]tender, and it putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is near. 33 So likewise ye, when ye see all these things, know that the kingdom of God is near, even at the doors. 34 Verily I say unto you, this [z]generation shall not pass, till all these things be done. 35 [aa]Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away. 36 [ab]But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no not the Angels of heaven, but my father only. There are many other passages where He says that His words are not His own, but of HE WHO SENT ME. Preachers seem to even need this lesson! While I'm no bible scholar by any means..... I do know that the FATHER is NOT also "The Son" The Father dwells within the Son, He gives the Son messages for the people, and spiritually "they are one" because Jesus is FILLED WITH THE SPIRIT OF THE FATHER! But He is not the father! He is the SON! He's my Lord and Savior, He's the head of the church and He has ALL AUTHORITY on this earth! But those things were given to Him BY THE FATHER! There are so many examples of Jesus Himself denying being the Father! Jesus was baptized by John, and the heavens opened and the Most High said "This is my beloved SON, with whom I'm well pleased" So..... what happened there? Are you claiming that Yahuwah Himself was baptized, and after He left his human body, jumped up into heaven to then speak to John??? You have to be mentally ill to believe this! And I already know 100 people will argue with me about this..... But I also know their arguments make no sense! They turn the entire bible into nonsense! There is the FATHER, and at His Right Hand is the SON! The Father's spirit fills the SON, the SON speaks the Father's words.... But He is NOT the Father! At least not without some SERIOUS MENTAL GYMNASTICS!!!

YOUR CALCULATIONS OF THE FUTURE ARE MEANINGLESS WITHOUT A PROPER = SIGN He is correct! Humans REALLY DO ignore #Genocide! Now... If you claim that some #Media narrative about a few people dying is a #HOAX all of the sudden you become Lucifer himself....... Because "People died" supposedly But in the grand scheme of things..... Where MILLIONS, and quite possibly BILLIONS will die..... Well THAT is just a "Conspiracy Theory" Or so we are told! The people who died are likely people who cursed your existence.... and they likely hated you and your opinion about their "savior" Big Pharma" And they even likely wanted to FORCE YOU TO TAKE THE JAB! I understand that many of these people were NOT very nice people... But I still feel like WE OWE THEM #Justice! Sitting around and allowing a group of international MURDERERS to get away with their crime, and to continue distributing their POISONS around the world so that they can kill even more brainwashed normies is an abomination! I feel as if it is something we WILL have to answer for! I'm ASHAMED of my country and the people in it! To allow the wholesale slaughter of MILLIONS / BILLIONS without bringing those responsible to justice is just pure COWARDICE! And granted.... The #Criminals have a "defense force" guarding them FROM YOU... And that "defense force" is your local #Police... So what??? They can be brought to justice too! We are at WAR, and we are LOSING BADLY! And that is because most people don't even realize we are under attack! And those that do don't do anything to put an end to it! We have 300 million (supposedly) armed Americans, and we FEAR some badge wearing clowns that work for a criminal cabal murdering all of mankind? I'll tell you right now, we are MUCH SAFER on the field of battle than we are sitting around waiting for their next plan to actually kill us! (Like the poisoning of our food and water) Something has got too give! The CORPORATION must be put out of business permanently And nobody is going to do it for us! https://old.bitchute.com/video/P6YX7D0bTJyM/
