Cyrus, the Great prophesied as the bird of prey coming from the east summoned by God had been the subject of ironies. At least two cult leaders from the far east, Felix Manalo of the Philippines and Sun Myung Moon of Korea used the same bible passage in claiming they are the raptors anointed and summoned by God for a great purpose. This would only prove that even in death, Cyrus still causes a stir even as when he was still alive.
One of the most modern prevalent crimes would be identity theft. For instance, one would not know that his identity is being used for a crime that would need such identity in an authorized registry such as one being done by the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) intended to legitimize something bogus. Hence, investigators noted that common people such as vendors are made corporate stockholders by criminals operating the POGO for money laundering even without their knowledge. But of course, there are some who do these things deliberately by portraying themselves as real Filipinos and legitimate businessmen in spite of the fact that they are assuming another identity by using falsified documents. But one can be so wrong in assuming that this is a modern crime.
Sumerian and Akkadian account of the hero Gilgamesh, is an epic poem of antiquity concerning the King of Uruk (not to be confused with Abraham’s Ur) culled from clay tablets from the library of Ashurbanipal (669-631 BC), the last king of the Assyrian empire. He is the son of an anunnaki (nephelim) and a human who is characterized as a mighty giant. As king, he had this lusty vice of taking the bride for himself on the day of the wedding and none of his subjects could stop him.
The recent arrest of Pastor Apollo C. Quiboloy made a lot of allegations moot and academic as many of the claims of violations of human rights rested on the premise that he was no longer in the KOJC Compound. It was alleged that the police tasked to arrest him were to many and have used excessive force which against the members of the church.
Whether they would like him to go to oblivion or keep his name as a real challenge, the Medjugorje apparitions story may never be complete without the mention of the former priest, Tomislav Vlasic, who voluntarily like Judas took it upon himself to take care of the seers there.
Any good mother can relate to our article concerning the seven sorrows of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Although Our Lady did not actually experience what her Son Jesus Christ did, the vicarious experience of Our Lady as His Mother can never be discounted. With the merits of recollecting these sorrows as a supernatural promise concerning a devotion, we are presenting to you the seven sorrows that she had experienced which when meditated upon with the prayer of the Ave Maria for each sorrow, a certain merit is earned by each devout soul.
It seems that China is bent on making war with the Philippines.
On the premise that the Catholic Church is the Church founded by Jesus Christ and is therefore, a living church; I am writing here the feast days of the Blessed Virgin Mary, who up to this present time continues to be a messenger of the Holy Spirit to teach the complete Truth in the end of times through her many apparitions.
Filipinos, especially those in Batangas should not feel so bad about how church authorities handled the Lipa Apparitions in 1948. In fact, in India, there is the case of Our Lady’s apparitions which were neither authenticated nor decided upon either by the Congregation for the Doctrine of Faith or under its new name, Dicastery of the Doctrine of Faith. When Paul III established the original Sacred Congregation of Universal Inquisition in 1547, the events in the small town on Coromandel Coast by the Bay of Bengal, Tamil Nadu state, should have been investigated but we do know how limited communication was during the advent of Renaissance was. In fact, the 1948 apparition in Lipa which happened already in modern times and the authorities still failed in dialogue and transparency which led to confusion of the Filipino faithful. But the lessons of faith in Velankanni eludes intrigues and politicking by church officials and we are only happy to explore them in spite of the fact that they only involved legends which lent to credibility and therefore, faith. Not that we are espousing belief in Medjugorje, as it was found to teach heresy but this is a matter of how we discern…
It seems that the Medjugorje Apparitions are true because the cult following of said events have grown very much through the years as proof that “by their fruits ye shall know them.”
I do not wish to prove something new. Before the cases I will mention in this article Our Lady’s intercession had already been proven several times such as in the Battle of Lepanto in 1571, La Naval de Manila in 1646 and the Siege of Vienna in 1683. However, since there is a continues diabolical plot by some Protestants and anti-Marian movements to undermine the role of the Mother of God in protecting her children, allow me to recount her role in at least three decisive events in the last two centuries.
It seems that Our Lady is always on the side of the underpriveleged.
