| The Crucifixion of the Lord Jesus Christ, Mary and John and the women at the foot of the Cross |
Matthew 27:45 Now from the sixth hour, there was darkness over all the earth, until the ninth hour.
Origen tell us this darkness was only in Palestine, and the neighbouring countries: for as to the words, over the whole earth, or over the whole land, we find one kingdom or empire, by a common way of speaking, called the whole earth, or the whole world. As to the cause of the obscuration of the sun; and secondly, as to the extent of its darkness. Origen tells us that the darkness was partial, and confined to Judea and the neighbouring countries, as the darkness of Egypt was only perceived in that country, and not in Gessen, where the children of Israel were. Saint Jerome tells us that the obscurity was caused by the rays of the sun being suddenly withdrawn by divine power, as was the case in Egypt. The darkness in Egypt during the Passover of Moses was due to God's protection withdrawn from that land at that time. The darkness when Christ was Crucified for us is the judgement of God upon His Son Jesus Christ, in our place. For Jesus Christ knew NO sin. He never sinned, nor could He ever.
The meaning of the
Pasch of Christians.
The Book of Wisdom,
Chapter 17, describes the devils and demons thrown back upon the Egyptians
when the Israelites under Moses were brought out of Egypt Egypt Egypt Egypt
The principle of our always, for our part, protecting
children is given us by Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ in the Gospel of Matthew, Chapter 18
1
At *that hour the disciples came to Jesus, saying: Who, thinkest thou, is the
greater in the kingdom of heaven?
2
*And Jesus calling unto him a little child, set him in the midst of them,
3
And said: Amen I say unto you, *unless you be converted, and become as little
children, you shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
4
Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, he is the
greater in the kingdom of heaven.
5
And he that shall receive one such little child in my name, receiveth me.
10
Take heed that you despise not one of these little ones: for I say to you,
*that their angels in heaven always see the face of my Father who is in heaven.
The principle of our ONLY worshiping the True God, the
Father and the Son Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit is given first in the
historical truth of the Garden of Eden when Christ, who is the Tree of Life
commands the first man and his wife, Adam and Eve to not have anything to do
with the tree of the knowledge of good and evil which is Satan, the first
fallen angel, nor with any of the fallen angels with Satan. Assisi of
Babylon/Vatican/Rome is absolute and complete violation of that principle and
is the Great Apostasy in full blown Satanic evil. Have nothing to do with the Vatican
Book of Wisdom,
Chapter 17
1 For thy judgments, O Lord, are great, and thy words cannot
be expressed: therefore undisciplined souls have erred.
2 For while the wicked thought to be able to have dominion
over the holy nation, they themselves being fettered with the bonds of
darkness, and a long night, shut up in their houses, lay there exiled from the
eternal providence.
3 And while they thought to lie hid in their obscure sins,
they were scattered under a dark veil of forgetfulness, being horribly afraid
and troubled with exceeding great astonishment.
4 For neither did the den that held them, keep them from
fear: for noises coming down troubled them, and sad visions appearing to them,
affrighted them.
5 And no power of fire could give them light, neither could
the bright flames of the stars enlighten that horrible night.
6 But there appeared to them a sudden fire, very dreadful:
and being struck with the fear of that face, which was not seen, they thought
the things which they saw to be worse:
7 And the delusions of their magic art were put down, and
their boasting of wisdom was reproachfully rebuked.
8 For they who promised to drive away fears and troubles
from a sick soul, were sick themselves of a fear worthy to be laughed at.
9 For though no terrible thing disturbed them: yet being
scared with the passing by of beasts, and hissing of serpents, they died for
fear: and denying that they saw the air, which could by no means be avoided.
10 For whereas wickedness is fearful, it beareth witness of
its condemnation: for a troubled conscience always forecasteth grievous things.
11 For fear is nothing else but a yielding up of the
succours from thought.
12 And while there is less expectation from within, the
greater doth it count the ignorance of that cause which bringeth the torment.
13 But they that during that night, in which nothing could
be done, and which came upon them from the lowest and deepest hell, slept the
same sleep.
14 Were sometimes molested with the fear of monsters,
sometimes fainted away, their soul failing them: for a sudden and unlooked for
fear was come upon them.
15 Moreover if any of them had fallen down, he was kept shut
up in prison without irons.
16 For if any one were a husbandman, or a shepherd, or a
labourer in the field, and was suddenly overtaken, he endured a necessity from
which he could not fly.
17 For they were all bound together with one chain of
darkness. Whether it were a whistling wind, or the melodious voice of birds,
among the spreading branches of trees, or a fall of water running down with
violence,
18 Or the mighty noise of stones tumbling down, or the
running that could not be seen of beasts playing together, or the roaring voice
of wild beasts, or a rebounding echo from the highest mountains: these things
made them to swoon for fear.
19 For the whole world was enlightened with a clear light,
and none were hindered in their labours.
20 But over them only was spread a heavy night, an image of
that darkness which was to come upon them. But they were to themselves more
grievous than the darkness.
