The Manifestation of the AntiChrist
—
Post Publication Letters/Questions
Now Addressed
PURPOSE
As the logical result of our publication regarding the identity of the AntiChrist, many valid questions were asked and comments made. We have now compiled such questions and comments with the appropriate responses for the benefit of the Faithful. They follow in chronological order.
From LP @ USA [Published on June 5th]
Response:
We shall address the issues that you raise one at a time - just as you have numbered them.
1. The Book of Revelations is no different from many other Prophetic Books of the Old Testament. They contain parallel situations just as we explained about Daniel's 70 weeks. When we read 70 weeks, that could be 70 years for one situation or 7 X 70 = 490 years for another or 70 years for yet another, etc.
Those two beasts are no different - they are incarnated in different, yet, complementary ways, although in this particular case we may be looking at the one that you have specifically illustrated. You state that the first one "openly opposes God". Being in "opposition to God" does not necessarily mean making such opposition obvious. Just because Escrivá bathed himself in false piety - his very being, life and methodology are in complete opposition to what God truly represents. As if that were not enough of a misrepresentation, he produces his little book which he calls "The Way". There is only one "Way" and that "Way" is Jesus Christ and the New Testament more than suffices to indicate it.
As an illustrative counterbalance, review Don Bosco trajectory. His entire trajectory was as harmonious, as it could possible be for a human, with the teachings of Jesus Christ. No imagination nor explanations were necessary - it was obvious in all he did. This is why we have stated elsewhere that to compare Escrivá to St. John Bosco would be like comparing the FalseChrist to Jesus Christ.
Another example of the duality of Prophetic Books may be found with Babylon the Great. In the Book of Revelations Babylon assumes two general roles as well as two specific roles. In one case it represents certain nations or cities as well as organized religion in general; in another case it represents one specific nation and one specific church.
2. When the "tip of the iceberg" is: Who... would dare to raise his voice with words of reproach to the True and Living God while claiming to be a Successor of Peter? one can very well imagine what the "rest of the iceberg" is like. Who else would appoint a man as Levada as the Guardian of the Catholic Faith [Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith] while the Faith destroying sexual scandal of the Roman Church in the US still is "Prime Time" news and far from settled?
You question our identification of the AntiChrist: That is reasonable, however, we remind you of our statement regarding what miguel de Portugal has to say:
3. No, he does not know that he is serving evil. Hitler nor Lenin didn't know either and neither did Escrivá. satan makes sure that many of those whom he uses to do his "dirty work" believe that whatever they are doing is for a "good cause" - after all, Eve just wanted to be like God and know the difference between good and evil.
Many times we have said that the basic scoundrel - whether politician or businessman who knows he is a scoundrel, brags about it amongst his peers, and take advantage of anyone he can - is far less dangerous than those who convince themselves that they are serving God although the methods are somewhat "ungodly" but.... they firmly believe that the "end justify the means". This is precisely why Judas is being regenerated in the subconscious of mankind right now. When you see what awaits humanity you will understand why they had to make such an effort to justify outright evil in the Name of God.
Regarding your most recent document naming the AntiChrist I have
the following questions and concerns:
1. Pertaining to chapter 13 of Revelation: I interpret the beast from the sea as an evil power that arises outside the Churches, and openly opposes God..... The beast from the land appears to be a bishop whose speech seems to be like of a lamb, but his words serve the dragon - i.e., the prophet of the False Christ. The beast from the land is allied with the beast from the sea, and both serve the dragon.
2. Given the evil and deceptive leaders in Church history, how do we know that Ratzinger is supremely evil and deceptive? Is he really worse than the Popes of the 800s-900s, or those of the Renaissance? Many incorrectly identified candidates for Antichrist before; what makes the identification of Ratzinger now for this "honor" different?
3. Does Ratzinger know that he is serving evil? Does he intend to do what you announce he will?

Should you believe what miguel de Portugal says through the pages of The M+G+R Foundation? You
do not have to. What is written is only for those who have eyes to see and have ears to hear. Woe
to miguel if he does not speak loud and clear. Nothing has changed in the manner in which God has
communicate with His children in the last 6,000 years.

Response:
We thank you for your most appropriate concern and question.
God has placed that information in your hands through us, thus, may His Most Holy Spirit guide you as to how you should use it for His Glory - as we all strive to minimize the suffering in the world while Divine Justice is dispensed and prophecy fulfilled.
The Holy Spirit of God was sent for all who are willing to receive It with open hearts and child like disposition and not just for a select few. You did the right thing by asking since at times we have been moved to place restriction in the information we share. In this case, however, God wishes to guide individually each recipient of the information in the manner in which He sees fit under each particular circumstance.
I thank you for sending out the letter about the identity of the AntiChrist, and hesitate to annoy
you with further questions. But I can't help wondering if you intended us to pass it on to others,
or keep it private.
It's too awful a topic to bandy around lightly, so I'm saying nothing to anyone until I know your mind on the matter. Sorry for troubling you right now, but I feel I need to know what's the right thing to do.
Thank you again.
RMc

Response:
We have not reviewed the book, but from a search in the Internet, it appears that the quotation is indeed from a book authored by Ratzinger. Such statement certainly agrees with the "enlightened" mentality of the "great thinkers and theologians" of the Faith - the "Catholics of the 20th and 21st Century". We still remember the "enlightened" seminarists in the US, referring to us, Adorers of the Blessed Sacrament, as "Cookie Worshippers".
Just recently we received a letter which contained the following phrase: What I see emerging is a scholar with some flaws, but who has always been Christ-"o-centric" in his leanings, and I cannot fault that. Others, have referred about Ratzinger as the Rottwiler Guardian of the Faith
Neither being Christ-"o-centric" or Rottweiler Guardian of the Faith means much since, traditionally, their only function has been protect their god, which is the institution they built upon the ashes of the one Jesus Christ founded. For this they have lied, cheated and killed for centuries.
But leaving that transparent-for-those-who-have-Eyes-to-See centuries-old-charade, let us get back to such "pearl of wisdom" : To go to church on the ground that one can visit God who is present there is a senseless act which modern man rightfully rejects.
Such ignorant statement comes form someone who still has not read the revelation of the Secret Concept of the Most Holy Trinity given to the world through miguel de Portugal.
God is indeed omnipresent and manifests Himself in Three Distinct Persons. When we are Adoring the Blessed Sacrament we are Adoring God in the Person of Jesus Christ. If any one of us - any human person - enjoys the company and consolation of a loved one, God, Who created us in His Image, will enjoy it and be consoled even more we sit quietly by Him, in the Person of Jesus.
Brethren, the time has come for you to choose sides because the only Mercy that is now available is for those who do not know better. Those who may be reading this or know of our existence, directly or indirectly, are considered as "knowing better".
In light of your recent publication about Benedict XVI
- Is the following quotation from a book (*) by Cardinal
Ratzinger true and what do you think of it?
“Eucharistic devotion such as is noted in the silent visit by the devout in church must not
be thought of as a conversation with God. This would assume that God was present there locally and
in a confined way. To justify such an assertion shows a lack of understanding of the
Christological mysteries of the very concept of God. This is repugnant to the serious thinking of
the man who knows about the omnipresence of God. To go to church on the ground that one can visit
God who is present there is a senseless act which modern man rightfully rejects.”

Praised be the Sacred Heart of Jesus!
Response:
...and may God have Mercy upon us all for our many sins.
We are sharing your entire letter with the world because it contains most of the elements present in the souls of those who have "Eyes to See and Ears to Hear", up to and including the rare "My attempts at objectivity and reserve may have been well intentioned, but were wrong. One way or the other, God tells us what we need to know."
That is why we try to explain to all that true spiritual interaction/experiences cannot be faked, on purpose or not. However, one has to live them to truly understand that. In the lower scale of spiritual sensitivity are those who have Eyes to See and Ear to Hear but cannot just yet. It is for them that the volume of God's megaphone is slowly increased in the hopes that they "snap out of their denial state" without the need to increase the volume further.
Those who will never See nor Hear come from all walks of life, yet, amazingly enough, a very large percentage of them come from amongst the pious regular church attendees. We must keep clearly in mind, and continue to announce, that Salvation comes from Faith in Jesus Christ and not from faith in an institution, any institution or any other individual. Humans will be amazed what they will find out when "all is said and done" and the End of These Times have given way to a new life on Earth. The most repeated thought/words will be: "But I thought that so and so was so holy and he did not make it!" or "I would have never guessed that so and so would be counted amongst the Elect!"
How blind men are! Look at Eve! She thought that she could second guess God!... and then Adam "bought her story".
m de P knows of individuals in hell (literally) about whom no one would have ever "guessed it" in the proverbial "million years". [Incidentally - this, although an extremely rare case, is not a pleasant knowledge to possess nor is the one of someone amongst the living that may be there soon.]
Therefore, we must continue to blow the "wake up trumpet" until, finally, the Seventh Trumpet sounds. We take consolation in the knowledge of God's Mercy In Action - Explained supernaturally and witnessed in "Black and White".
We thank you for writing and giving us this Golden Opportunity to help others.
Praised be the Sacred Heart of Jesus!
I am sure that you have a backlog of email regarding this topic, so I will be very brief.
It did not please me to read this document about the Antichrist. Not because I disagree with you in any way, but because I had already long suspected this to be true. When I first saw Ratzinger brought onto the balcony of St. Peter's to be proclaimed as the new pope last year, an interior prompting told me - or rather screamed: "fake"! I cannot explain that, except to say that it was not the result of my personal opinions, nor of anything which I had read.
I tried to give him the benefit of the doubt over the last year, but that interior prompting kept repeating over & over. This despite my efforts to put aside all predictions, prophecies, and writings indicating this reality which you have clarified to be true. My attempts at objectivity and reserve may have been well intentioned, but were wrong. One way or the other, God tells us what we need to know.
Whether we listen or not!
There are two terrifying realities: that which you have pointed out, and the fact that most people do and will reject this notion. The latter is much more frightening, because those souls who stick their heads in the sand and refuse to believe what is before their eyes are ready to be sifted all the more by Satan. I truly do pray for them, that they may be awakened, before it is too late for their souls.
May God have mercy upon me for my many sins.
Chris

From DS @ Ireland [Published on June 19th]
Of course I have taken time to reflect on you're writings and whether you are someone I could trust and whether more importantly that the documents you have prepared have been directed to you through the Holy Spirit or whether you could be misguided.
In my world God deals in absolutes not maybes.
I pray that you'll forgive me for saying this but my mind is still uncertain if Miguel de Portugal, a man I have never met is in dialogue with God.
I have the utmost respect for you and believe from a logical point of view the documents you have released. I pray that the world changes and that we have a Christian world to bring our children up in. I believe in the word of Jesus Christ healing us of all our weaknesses and helping us in forgiving others of theirs. Eventually we'll all be judged upon how well we truly live our lives by this.

Response:
Let us see... This fine scientist ["In my world God deals in absolutes not maybes"] has been reading our web site over the last year or so and has actually exchanged off-the-record correspondence with m de P and did not know that our function - the purpose of m de P's existence - is because we are rapidly approaching the End of These Times?
Every single document has at the bottom a link to About Us - Our Purpose; we have published What Time Is It? and It Is About That Time and too many documents to just list here which address this issue squarely; a link to a brief biography of miguel de Portugal is available from many documents, including, About Us, and yet, someone is shocked and surprised that we are announcing the End of These Times even though we have published its Road Map?
This very fine gentleman continued: "Of course I have taken time to reflect on you're writings and whether you are someone I could trust and whether more importantly that the documents you have prepared have been directed to you through the Holy Spirit or whether you could be misguided."
Who can be "....very helpful and has aided in putting my Catholic faith into perspective versus the difficulty and challenge we face as members of the global church."? A misguided spirit? A misguided spirit who upholds the Catholic Faith to where not even those who pretend to be Shepherds dare? A misguided spirit who calls all to the fountain of the Sacraments explaining the richness they hold? A misguided spirit who endorses and defends some of the most contested positions of the Administrators of the Roman Church?
The problem lies that when man cannot face reality, man take refuge in denial even though coherence is demolished.
We thank you for writing and giving us this Golden Opportunity to help others.
I've read your article on the Anti-Christ and I must say it sent a shudder down my spine. Reading
your web site over the last year or so has been very helpful and has aided in putting my Catholic
faith into perspective versus the difficulty and challenge we face as members of the global
church. I'm sure you are being faced with many questions following the posting, I won't bother you
too many of with mine at the moment although the way I would see it is as follows.
1) Miguel de Portugal who I have conversed with over cyberspace for over a year and whose
web site has made me think and challenge by thoughts on Christianity and my own lack of it at
times has
2) Declared that the Pope, Benedict XVI, is the antichrist
3) That the end times are upon us.

From RB @ Spain [Published on June 26th]
Response:
Thank you for the opportunity to finally address this issue now.
(Part 1)
In Matthew 17 we read: 11 But he answering, said to them: Elijah indeed shall come, and restore all things. 12 But I say to you, that Elijah is already come, and they knew him not, but have done unto him whatsoever they had a mind. So also the Son of man shall suffer from them.
As far as we know, it was Msgr. Juan Straubinger who truly understood this veiled meaning (and published it in 1969). In his footnote of the above quoted verse he states (in Spanish which we are now translating into English):
(Part 2)
There is indeed coherence, and even more, - for those who have Eyes to See and Ears to Hear - considering what is to be restored before the Second Coming of Christ at the End of These Times (and not at the End of Time): Enough faith with which to receive Him.
Without that "core of faith" it would be mystically impossible for Him to manifest in time His Second Coming. As we have said before, there are Laws which regulate the supernatural domain just as there are Laws which regulate the physical domain and God, whenever possible, "Plays by the Rules" He Himself set at the time of Creation.
Peace and blessings!
(Part 1)
What does it mean "Elijah indeed shall come, and restore all things"?
Is not Jesus Christ the One who will restore all things in His Second Coming?
What "all things", precisely, will Elijah restore?
At the moment of the Second Coming ("when the Son of Man returns, will He still find faith on the earth?") nobody will have restored the Faith, so even less "all things"?
May it be the correct translation "...and restore all knowledge"?
It would be coherent if a prophet came who will repair the knowledge as presented to the people, whether or not the people will be able to assimilate it.

(Part 2)
Also, it would be coherent with The M+G+R Foundation's mission, as an advance of Elijah mission
and echo of St. John the Baptizer, for "Setting the Record Straight"

Jesus does not deny it; He actually confirms that the mission of John the Baptizer is that of
Elijah. However, He tells them in verses Nos. 11-15 that His messianic mission will be violently
rejected, and then, Elijah will have to come at the End of These Times as the precursor of
His Triumph. [Additional references Luke 1, 17; 16, 16; Malachi 3:1; 4, 5]
Luke 1: 16 And he shall convert many of the children of Israel to the Lord
their God. 17 And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elijah; that he may turn the
hearts of the fathers unto the children, and the incredulous to the wisdom of the just, to prepare
unto the Lord a perfect people.
Luke 16: 16 The law and the prophets were until John; from that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every one useth violence towards it.
Malachi 3: 1 Behold I send my angel, and he shall prepare the way before my face. And presently the Lord, whom you seek, and the angel of the testament, whom you desire, shall come to his temple. Behold he cometh, saith the Lord of hosts. 4 And the sacrifice of Juda and of Jerusalem shall please the Lord, as in the days of old, and in the ancient years. 5 And I will come to you in judgment, and will be a speedy witness against sorcerers, and adulterers, and false swearers, and them that oppress the hireling in his wages; the widows, and the fatherless: and oppress the stranger, and have not feared me, saith the Lord of hosts.
Luke 16: 16 The law and the prophets were until John; from that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every one useth violence towards it.
Malachi 3: 1 Behold I send my angel, and he shall prepare the way before my face. And presently the Lord, whom you seek, and the angel of the testament, whom you desire, shall come to his temple. Behold he cometh, saith the Lord of hosts. 4 And the sacrifice of Juda and of Jerusalem shall please the Lord, as in the days of old, and in the ancient years. 5 And I will come to you in judgment, and will be a speedy witness against sorcerers, and adulterers, and false swearers, and them that oppress the hireling in his wages; the widows, and the fatherless: and oppress the stranger, and have not feared me, saith the Lord of hosts.
(Part 2)
There is indeed coherence, and even more, - for those who have Eyes to See and Ears to Hear - considering what is to be restored before the Second Coming of Christ at the End of These Times (and not at the End of Time): Enough faith with which to receive Him.
Without that "core of faith" it would be mystically impossible for Him to manifest in time His Second Coming. As we have said before, there are Laws which regulate the supernatural domain just as there are Laws which regulate the physical domain and God, whenever possible, "Plays by the Rules" He Himself set at the time of Creation.

Response:
We responded, indirectly, through an answer to DS on June 19th - see above. Then, DS Sr. blocked our mail from his server.
This is why designer clothing and accessories have become such a force in society, thus world economy, since the second half of the 20th Century. Before, people could recognize a fine material, a fine design, a fine execution of whatever the item in question was. Now, clothing, bags, most accessories, etc. must have a designer's name (face) so that they be recognized as of quality (read: expensive).
As we have said before, the physical domain reflects the spiritual domain. This is exactly why Jesus fit Isaiah's description:
Amazingly enough, as devoted as DS Sr. may be, using his same logic, he, most likely, would have participated in the crucifixion of Jesus - after all, he would have reasoned that "he knew the face of Caiphas" but not of Jesus or John the Baptist.
We know that these are harsh words, but so was the silence that led to 100 million deaths and untold suffering in World War II. God, Whom m de P serves, is finished with "Tip toeing through the tulips while Tiny Tim strums his bizarre ukulele" - we have fully entered the period of the two edged sword:
May those who have Eyes, See, and Ears, Hear!
The Peace and love of our Saviour be with you.
We have studied your article on The Identification of the
AntiChrist, and feel very, very sad about our Holy Father the Pope Benedict.
You see we have to test all things, and we know the face of our Holy Father, but we do not know the face of Miguel De Portugal, and therefore it is difficult to accept that he is right. I am sure you can understand our thoughts on this subject. Why we should take Miguel De Portugal's word as correct.
We have always valued the inspiration we received from Miguel De Portugal, now we are left wondering - WHO IS MIGUEL DE PORTUGAL, as this is very very serious, we would be glad if you could respond and maybe we could see who he is and where he comes from.

shall grow up as a tender plant before him, and as a root out of a thirsty ground: there
is no beauty in him, nor comeliness: and we have seen him, and there was no sightliness, that we
should be desirous of him:

Apocalypse 19: 15 And out of his mouth proceedeth a sharp two edged
sword; that with it he may strike the nations. And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; and
he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness of the wrath of God the Almighty.
May those who have Eyes, See, and Ears, Hear!
