Is not sacrilegious to ponder about the day and time of God's plans?

FROM OUR FILES:  April 12, 2005

From R @ USA

(a) I heard last evening that in the new testament, per Jesus, that only God knows the day and time of when our times will change due to his plan and divine will. Isn't it dangerous and almost sacrilegious to begin to ponder about such matters?

(b) Also, if I may, who are you, Miguel?

(c) It is obvious that you have an awful lot of money for such a site and an awful lot of education...

(d) I am curious about where you receive your authority.

Please excuse my questions if I have offended you, however, as you stress wisdom and knowledge of what will occur within the church, I would like to know your basis for such information you provide.

Thank you for reading this and I hope I receive a response.

R

Response:

We have labeled your questions with (a), (b), (c), etc. so that we may be able to focus our answers properly for the benefit of the many readers who visit our Public Forum.

First of all, you have not offended us. Your questions, which indicate your lack of familiarity with our Domain, are valid and genuine and we thank you for the opportunity to clarify some issues for newcomers to The M+G+R Foundation.

(a) You may find the quotation you loosely refer to in the the New Testament Matthew 24:35-37:

“Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.” [Mt 24:35-37]

First – Jesus is speaking about "the state of affairs" —that is, "who knew what"— at the time He was speaking to His disciples in the Mt. of Olives and not necessarily in the future.

Secondly, He states:

“...as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.”

Obviously, Noe had a schedule to follow in building the Ark and a schedule necesitates dates.

Thirdly, in the Lesson of the Fig Tree, just before the above quoted verses, Jesus states:

Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh: So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors. Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled. Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. [Mt 24:32-35]

By "this generation" He meant the generation which "...shall see all these things...". The "things" He describes are clearly listed in Matthew 24:15-28

He further warns us to be ready through the Parable of the Ten Virgins through Matthew 25:1-13 lest some are not ready and be lost.

Then we ask you: If Jesus is so concerned about us being ready and warns us so, would then, God the Father, when the time comes, would not even give a clue to His children, through His chosen ones, so that they wake up from their lethargic sleep of indolence and become ready?

What is sacrilegious is to try to block Divine Action and add confusion by misquoting the Holy Word of God.

(b) The brief biographical sketch of miguel de Portugal will give you all the information that God deemed appropriate that he reveals about himself at this time. This is about God and not miguel de Portugal.

(c) From God! Where else? Whether this is believed or not does not affect him at all. It will certainly affect those who do or do not – but not miguel de Portugal.

You did not ask what is the function of The M+G+R Foundation. In case you wish to know – and we recommend that you do, you are welcome to read about it.

Real-time video impersonation of people through Artificial Intelligence - It is here!

Did you know that...?

The technology to impersonate any living personality or "resurrect" a dead personality through real-time video is now mature and is being shown to the general public.

The company "Metaphysic", specialized in Artificial Intelligence, made a demonstration that has left millions of people open-mouthed on the TV show "America's Got Talent" (in May/June and September 2022). (1)(2)

At the same time that an artist or actor moves/speaks/sings/dances, his/her performance is translated by specialized Artificial Intelligence software that projects on a screen a fake personality —for example, a resurrected Elvis Presley— who performs the same movements/words/song/dance that the actor/artist is performing but with the face (and voice, optionally) of the character they wish to impersonate.

In May/June, they made a demonstration by having a singer (Daniel Emmet) perform live while a big screen showed the processed image without any delay: the same visual appearance of the singer (the same body and the same clothes) but the virtual figure had the face of one of the presenters of the program (Simon Cowell), performing exactly the same mouth and body movements. An untrained eye is unable to perceive that it is an artificially constructed image, even knowing that it is so. (3)

In September, they made an even more spectacular demonstration by "resurrecting" Elvis Presley – a live image created from the performance of a singer who acted to give audio-visual input to the camera. The "resurrected" Elvis had a face and also a voice (processed by Artificial Intelligence) indistinguishable from the real Elvis Presley, as if he were alive. (4)(5)

Our comment:

What a blessing from Heaven! This event —seen by tens of millions of people through the TV show and reproduced videos— is serving to expose on a worldwide scale a technology that is one of the possible avenues for the Falsification of the Second Coming of Christ.

As we have hinted in other documents, an option for the Falsification would consist in the "resurrection", by means of digital forgery (6), of a known religious personality from the past – not necessarily Jesus, but someone who would be endowed with the appearance of the virtues of Christ (7), thereby allegedly "embodying" The Word and The Way in a Second Coming in a different "physical", but very credible, appearance.

Those who have eyes to see and ears to hear have one more opportunity to be forewarned. The rest, the majority, would/will fall into the trap regardless of being shown this technology in action in advance.

We thank PD for providing the initial link that prompted us to write this communication.

The technological advances already here that will make very easy to stage the Ultimate Deception.

Unless...

God could allow an astronomical event that, in one stroke, would ruin all of the world's electronics on which modern technology depends. That would force satan to use other options for the Falsification.

Mixed Catholic-Protestant marriage

FROM OUR FILES:  May 27, 2004

From B @ USA

J is a Protestant Christian, married, and is preparing to graduate... and enter the professional world... His family is a potpourri of Atheists, Protestants, Catholics, and Baptists. J and his siblings are the product of their parent's 32 year marriage and the parents have since been divorced and have established other relationships.

For some time now, the father has been married outside the Catholic Church to a practicing Catholic. The new bride has insisted that he go to the Catholic Church and seek the nullification of the 32 year marriage, resulting in the allowance of a new marriage in and by the Church. The father, being of very little conviction and reverence to God, sees nothing wrong with this and has agreed to expend his efforts in this arena.

J is extremely upset at this because of the obvious implications... Being a Protestant, he is trying to understand the position the Catholic Church is taking by allowing the annulment to occur.

What, specifically, is an annulment and it's consequences to J's father? What does the nullification of an established marriage render J and his siblings? What price will J have to pay for the actions of the father? J holds much contempt toward his father for this...

B

Response:

First things first. There are no spiritual consequences to J and his siblings because of his father's actions.

Each one of us stand before God alone, only accompanied by the merits that we were able to secure while journeying through Time (1) as well as the prayers and intercession of our Heavenly Mother, Guardian Angel and Patron Saints seeking Divine Mercy (2) for us at that time. (Remember the Rosary (3): In the Hail Mary we request of Mary: "...pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death")

Regarding the annulment per se, in this case there are two issues to consider: (a) Was there a Sacramental Matrimony there to begin with?; and (b) If J's father is "...of very little conviction and reverence to God."

If (b) is the case now and has always been with him, issue (a) has been already settled - there was no Sacramental Matrimony (4). However, everything else he will do - seeking an "official" annulment, having a "Church" Wedding, as they call it, etc. are worthless before God. Just another sham for money and appearances (5) and not for the Glory of God.

Now, J and his siblings are not to pass judgment on their father's actions and behavior. They should respectfully but frankly share with him their displeasure because of the hypocrisy and not be a part of the sham of the "Church" Wedding.

Once that is done, no hard feelings or rejection of the father by J and siblings. None of that! They should then make it a point to pray (6) for his conversion from now on.

Who knows? Maybe God allowed all of this (7) to "line up some prayers" for the poor man.

Finally, you state: "Being a Protestant, he is trying to understand the position the Catholic Church is taking by allowing the annulment to occur."

Well, as you can see, nothing has changed - nothing new to understand: This is precisely why the Protestants came into being. They were protesting the abuses of power (8) of the Roman Catholic Church.

           
(1) The relationship between "Time" and "Eternity" - Predestination or Free Will
(2) Divine Mercy - The Greatest Attribute of God
(3) The Holy Rosary with Scriptural Meditations
(4) Divorce among Catholics may be possible... But only if the Sacrament of Matrimony was faulty
(5) Marian Apparitions in Fatima and The Roman Catholic Church - Obviously The Response Was Not Appropriate
(6) Enough of Marches!  Enough Politicking!  Just - Pray! Pray! Pray!
(7) Suffering and the meaning of "Pain is the megaphone that God uses for the deaf to hear Him"
(8) Donation of Constantine - Details

Memorial of All the Faithful Departed


Pray for Souls in Purgatory

FROM OUR FILES:  October 31st, 2008

Did you know that...?

An indulgence, applicable only to the Souls in Purgatory, is granted to the faithful, who devoutly visit a cemetery and pray, even if only mentally, for the departed. The indulgence is plenary each day from the 1st to the 8th of November (1); on other days of the year it is partial (2).

Let us give a break to our brethren in Purgatory - many of whom have no one praying for them. Human rights activists worry much about individuals serving lengthy sentences in earthly prison; they may even run a campaign to shorten the sentence or obtain a parole. Let's emulate these human rights activists in the supernatural domain and bring joy and relief to the many souls who are waiting to finally go Home to the Father.

We have the consolation to know that those in Purgatory are serving a just sentence since God is Perfectly Just, but... let's be charitable and, while acknowledging the just sentence, invoke His Divine Mercy (3) upon them by practicing this beautiful devotion.

               
(1) You can practice this beautiful devotion each day from the 1st to the 8th of November, thus expanding the quantity of benefited souls in Purgatory - they are counting on all of us for relief.
(2) Details on the Indulgences
(3) Divine Mercy



The progress of our soul in Purgatory and in Heaven

FROM OUR FILES:  April 7th, 2015

From (Mrs.) AD @ US

My brother, who lived with us for 10 years, suffered agony for four days before God called him home. He refused morphine because he wanted to feel the pain. Please pray for the repose of his soul and his speedy entry into Heaven.

I would appreciate more information on the Spirit World, especially our soul connections to Our Father. I believe when we were created God our Father placed a piece of Himself in that seed placed in the mother's womb, and is very important for us to return to HIM.

If you could include in your program everything about the "Spirit Body", "Our Ascension into Heaven", "Are we truly to Ascend A Golden Stairway to Heaven?" Is that stairway the progress of our soul?

Anything about the Transition after death.

AD

Response:

May your brother's soul Rest in Peace!

We will now address some of the issues that you have raised in your letter; others will be addressed at a later time as God Wills it. You and anyone who may read these pages must realize that when we explain how the spirit world functions we must use symbolic imagery since in the physical world we do not have words of expressions to accurately explain the spiritual domain. There are even matters which have been made clear to us, yet we could not even come up with the appropriate symbolic imagery to explain it in the physical domain - therefore it stays with us until God Wills that we are able to explain them.

You ask if there is "progress of our soul" after body and soul separation. The answer is "Yes!" and we are talking about both in Purgatory and Heaven.

The progress limit in Purgatory (maximum attainable) is of course, reaching Heaven. How far a soul progresses in Heaven varies from soul to soul. What determines that level depends of various factors. We know that one factor has to do with how well that soul utilized the Graces God placed in its hands while the soul was was journeying through Time. About the other factors we have not been informed yet and we do not speculate in these matters.

With reference to your brother's refusal of morphine to avoid pain - that was a very wise move. He may have avoided Purgatory completely or reduced his time in it considerably. When one considers that we "pay" for our sins in Purgatory by witnessing the harm our sins have caused others who are still in Time, suffering physical pain in exchange for that seems like a spiritual bargain - an act of Divine Mercy!

Regarding: "...our soul connections to Our Father. I believe when we were created, God our Father place a piece of Himself in that seed placed in my mother's womb..." - let us go back to Genesis.

[26] And he said: Let us make man to our image and likeness:.... . [27] And God created man to his own image: to the image of God he created him: male and female he created them. [Genesis 1]

and

[7] And the Lord God formed man of the slime of the earth: and breathed into his face the breath of life, and man became a living soul. [Genesis 2]

Obviously man was created in the spiritual image of God but not in the spiritual nature of God, which is Divine.

When man disobeyed God by exercising his free will, let us say - as a symbolism - that a "genetic defect" afflicted every body into which God breathes His spiritual image. We call that "genetic defect" the original sin - which manifests itself (in various ways) in each human being.

Now, by an act of Divine Grace, Mary was conceived in an immaculate state - that is - she was free of that "genetic defect". This was a requirement so that the Spirit of God would come into Her body, assume human flesh and become Jesus Christ, a True Son of God. A human free of the "genetic defect" and fully in the Image of God and containing the Spirit of God.

Using the imagery that we have outlined above, we can say that indeed God, our Father, placed a piece (part) of Himself in us but, because of our disobedience, the moment that "piece (part) of Himself" enters the fertilized human egg, the "genetic defect" was already present in that newly created human being.

That is as clear as we can express such mystery. Please forgive our human shortcomings if we have failed to answer your questions in a better manner.

Whatever has been left unanswered in your letter will be addressed when and how He Wills it in the future.
