The Destruction of the Temple Foretold
Dear friends,
A reading from St. Mark’s Gospel (13:1-8):
As he [Jesus] was making his way out of the temple area one of his disciples said to him, “Look, teacher, what stones and what buildings!” Jesus said to him, “Do you see these great buildings? There will not be one stone left upon another that will not be thrown down.”
As he was sitting on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple area, Peter, James, John, and Andrew asked him privately, “Tell us, when will this happen, and what sign will there be when all these things are about to come to an end?” Jesus began to say to them, “See that no one deceives you. Many will come in my name saying, ‘I am he,’ and they will deceive many. When you hear of wars and reports of wars do not be alarmed; such things must happen, but it will not yet be the end. Nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes from place to place and there will be famines. These are the beginnings of the labor pains.”

Yesterday was Remembrance Day where we referred to the end of the two World Wars and prayed for all the people who were killed during these horrible times. Let us pray again that there will never be another world war but instead peace may reign among the nations of the world.
Below you will find the message of Our Lord and Savior given to Father Melvin. Jesus spoke to him these words,
“I call you to attention My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters living everywhere on the face of the earth. I wish to remind you that the end of the world is coming and each one of you must prepare for it. As the Temple in Jerusalem was destroyed in the year 70, so the world will be destroyed in the future. There will be wars in the future as nation will rise against nation but the end will not have arrived yet. There will be earthquakes and hurricanes and these will point to the day that the end of the world will arrive. At the end I will return to earth to judge the living and the dead. In fact all the dead will come back to life with body and soul and they will all gather in Jerusalem for the last judgment. All of you will be there. So prepare yourselves so that you will be on My right and not on My left. Those on My right I will bring them with me to heaven, but those on My left will be condemned to hell. Follow Me every day by doing good and avoiding evil and indeed you will be on My right. On that day you will be happy as I bring you home to the glory of heaven. I bless you all.“
