We Long for Good Time!

At the end of the vision the beasts are subjugated and they are allowed to live for season and time. The good and God will triumph over the bad and evil. The arrogant are allowed to live without dominion. The one who comes in the form of human person is Jesus himself. He will have complete dominion and power over the world and on the universe. He is the saviour and redeemer of the humanity and the universe. Human being has always thought about the end of the world, no one conclusively able to say what would happen to the world and how the world would be at the final times. We do have some information in the form of visions in the apocryphal writings. They do give some idea of the end of the world and second coming of the Lord. Human mind hopes for good in spite of the negativity of the mind, time will come in which the good will win over the evil and all will be happy at peaceful in the Lord.

Are we not hopping for good times?

Year Two

Rev 20:1-4, 11-21:2

We Have a New City!

The devil is locked up in the bottomless pit for a thousand years. The seal of the bottomless pit will be unsealed for a while for the devil to let free. All those who lived virtuous lives and lost their lives for the Word of God are rewarded with eternal life. The names that are not written in the Book of Life are cast into hell to be purified again.

At the final time we read in the scripture there will be New Earth and New Heaven and New Jerusalem. The new city will come down from heaven adorned like a bride for her Lord. In the New City, all will be with God praising and glorifying him. In the New City, all will be happy.

Do we have trust that we will be in New Heaven and New Earth?

Lk 21:29-33

The Lesson of the Fig Tree!

Then he told them a parable: “Look at the fig tree and all the trees; as soon as they sprout leaves you can see for yourselves and know that summer is already near. So also, when you see these things taking place, you know that the kingdom of God is near. Truly I tell you, this generation will not pass away until all things have taken place.  Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away. (Lk 21:29-33).

We make certain conclusions based on our experience in and around us. God has given us this faculty of foreseeing what is going to happen immediately and in distant future. As we grow in life we should be able to make how life is going to take turn in both in this world and in the next world. We should keep in mind that the Kingdom of God will come and it is near.  We should prepare to meet the Lord who is going to come. We have to keep in mind that everything will pass away but the Word of God will not pass away. The Word of God will be accomplished.

Do I believe that Word of God is lasting and it will be accomplished?

Final end is at hand every day and every end is an end  of life for  every person.

God Reveals Himself to those Whom He Loves~

  30 December 2024 1Jn2:12-17 Meditation St John is writing to fathers, children, and young people to free them from the evils of life because of Jesus. He tells them not to love the world and those who are passing. Humans are more passionate about the temporary things of life. They are not attracted to lasting ones that give peace and Joy. The desires of the flesh, the attraction of the eyes, and the pride that comes from the world's riches do not belong to the Father in heaven. Those things that belong to God, heaven, and eternity give us lasting joy, peace, and happiness. They call for commitment and sacrifice on the part of individuals. The world and its attractions are always easy but lead to darkness and sadness. The way to happiness and light is challenging and less attractive. Do we choose life in God or death in the world? 30 December Gospel: Lk 2:36-40 Meditation God Reveals Himself to Those Whom He Loves The Prophetess, Anna, was at the servers of the...

Follow Jesus!

  First Week Saturday Ordinary Time Saturday Year One Heb 4:12-16 The Word of God is powerful. It can do the impossible and transform people. Let us read the Word of God. As we know, it is inspired and does immense good. Those who read the Word of God will not go astray. It sustains in times of fragility and temptation. Jesus is the supreme high priest. He was born among humans and lived among them, knowing their frailties. Jesus knew what it meant to be human. He will very well sympathize with us and lead us to believe that we can overcome our sin and guilt and live as sons and daughters of God set free forever. Jesus knew what it meant to be human. Year Two 1 Sam 9:1-4, 17-10; 10:1 Samuel Anoints Saul Meditation Saul, the son of Kish, had gone to look for lost donkeys. Samuel was on search to anoint someone for the Lord. On the first sight of Saul, the Lord speaks to Samuel to anoint Saul. He anoints Saul with a flask of olive oil he carried, pours on Saul’s...

Let us Go on God's Way!

  3 rd February 2024 4th Week: Ordinary Time Monday Heb 11:32-40 Mediations Let us Go on God's Way! Great men and women in the history of God’s plan suffered. Suffering for the cause of God and doing great things for the Lord is no avail. It may not make one perfect in life. Doing great things for God without God’s hand and his way is useless. One has to suffer rightly for the cause of God, and it is God who gives us perfection through his grace. It is not that we have gained perfection through our efforts. Do we go on God’s way or our own way? 2 Sam 15:13-14, 3;16:5-13a David Flees Meditation David’s son Absolom turns against him. Absalom wants to kill David. David is cursed for his evil ways. He has to flee from people. As he passes by, he experiences rejection from the people. It happens that one has to go through the face of rejection from people in life for the evil one has done. It is part of life. At one time or another, humans become contemptuous of peo...
