Divine intervention possible, warns pope in new encyclical
In Laudato Si, the Vatican’s new “environmental” encyclical, Pope Francis, the Supreme Pontiff of the Catholic Church founded by Christ, warned that because the world’s wealth has become concentrated into the hands of a few moneyed elite at the expense of working people everywhere, and because banker and corporate greed-driven industrial pollution is catastrophically ravaging the earth’s environment, and because belief in the one, true God (the Blessed Trinity) is coming under global persecution, a Divine intervention into the affairs of mankind by the Almighty God of creation looms not only as a possibility, but as a necessity in order to save the world from itself.
“The God who created the universe out of nothing can also intervene in this world and overcome every form of evil.” [Laudato Si, paragraph 74]
Holy Scripture does in fact announce in great detail that such an intervention will take place, and even says when, namely during the brief, worldwide reign of Antichrist — a man possessed by Satan himself. For it is obvious that the consolidation of the world’s wealth is financing a push towards a horribly oppressive one-world dictatorship under the banner of “Mammon” (Satan), the “god” of ill-gotten gain.
Counterclaims that the Vatican, by issuing an encyclical supporting all sensible and achievable efforts to respect and protect the earth’s fragile environment, is aiding and abetting the establishment of a one-world order presided over by Satan are both irrational and absurd. The only world order the Vicar of Christ is allowed by the Holy Spirit to advocate is the natural, eternal order of the Holy Trinity, which will be decisively reinvigorated by Christ when He (and His Angels) “visit” the world during the Three Days of Darkness and fiery lightning storms to cleanse the earth of all physical and spiritual toxins, and to call forth into being the magnificent, Biblically-foretold “holy age” of peace, faith, bounty and beauty. For it would appear that, given the world’s present state of unbridled cruelty, immorality, avarice and toxicity, nothing less than a Divine intervention could possibly suffice to remedy its out-of-control spiral downwards to chaos and despotism.
“A visitation shall come from the Lord of hosts in thunder, and with earthquake, and with a great noise of whirlwind and tempest, and with the flame of devouring fire.” [ISAIAH 29:6]
“I will visit the evils of the world, and against the wicked for their iniquity: and I will make the pride of the infidels to cease, and will bring down the arrogancy of the mighty.” [ISAIAH 13:11]
“Go, my people, enter into thy chambers, shut the doors upon thee, hide thyself a little for a moment, until the indignation pass away.” [ISAIAH 26:20]
The Lord’s rapidly-approaching intermediate visitation and the subsequent coming of the 1,000-year (very lengthy) “holy age” are not only attested to by a substantial number of Bible prophecies, but are done so in a strikingly concise manner to ensure they cannot be misunderstood or ignored.
While the Vatican’s encyclical also acknowledges the great improvements modern technology has made to the quality of life on earth, it decries the fact that technology (a gift of God) is also being used for ignoble purposes, such as the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction.
Overall, Laudato Si presents a realistic, well-balanced assessment of the world’s current situation while, at the same time, defending the rights of the poor and dispossessed. Nowhere in the document is any suggestion made that the earth’s population needs to be drastically reduced in size. The world does not belong to the rich. It belongs to God, and He alone determines who should live and who should die.
After the Three Days of Darkness, the world’s wealth will be equitably redistributed and the scourge of industrial pollution completely neutralized by the Divinely-directed forces of nature which, for millennia, have miraculously accommodated generations of life on earth, and will continue to do so until the Lord Christ returns in glory on the last day to judge the living and the dead, and to bring time to an end.
