Description

Ven. Mary of Agreda explains Chapter 21 of the Apocalypse of St. John the Apostle and how that Chapter is explains the Arc of the New Covenant, Our Blessed Mother (the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God). These mysteries were revealed to Ven Maria de Agreda back in the 16th Century. Her writing are extremely enlightening and should be read by all Catholics.

There are many mystical senses or meanings in the Holy Scriptures that most do not understand, when I say mystical sense I am referring to a hidden meaning deep within the Scripture that is hard to under-stand (2 Peter 3, 16). When reading the Bible (Greek meaning “the Books”., which is a compilation of the Holy Scriptures done by the Roman Catholic Church back around the third century), there are two things that one must take into account. One, there is a literal meaning to the Holy Scriptures, and two, there is a mystical meaning which is hard to understand if it was not taught to you properly. This is what Saint Pope Peter (Apostle) is referring to: “As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are certain things hard to be understood, which the unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, to their own destruction.” [II Peter III, XVI](ii), and that private interpretation is will lead to disaster (2 Peter 1, 20). Thus Christ Himself founded His Church through Saint Peter (Matth. 16, 18) which is the pillar and ground of truth (1 Tim. 3, 15) and is to teach the Holy Scriptures and Traditions Properly to Her children.

It is impossible for one to understand the Holy Scriptures correctly without the Holy Ghost to guide them, this is one reason why Christ founded His Church in the first place (Matth 16: 15-19) to teach the Holy Scriptures (1 Tim. 3, 15) for the Holy Ghost is with the Roman Catholic Church (Acts 20, 28). There are Protestants who believe that Scriptures are easy to understand and that their private interpretations are correct, we know that this is a misconception (2 Peter 1, 20) and is due to the arrogances and selfish wants and desires of those who follow and believe that hokum. If Scriptures are clear to understand, why did Martin Luther and his imitators make new catechisms of Christian doctrine? Why do they fill the libraries with innumerable books of interpretations, explanations and commentaries? Above all, why have they any churches, where the Scriptures are explained, if the Scriptures are sufficient? And if there should be a church, why so many churches, of so many denominations, in every city and in every town? If there is a clear statement that in the Scriptures which all Christians should endeavor to put into execution, it is certainly the desire which Christ expressed in His prayer to the Eternal Father on the eve of His Passion and Death, “That they all may be one, as thou, Father, in me, and I in thee; that they also may be one in us; that the world may believe that thou hast sent me” (John 17, 21). What else do such words mean than that all Christ's followers should first of all have the same faith?—“One Lord, one faith, one baptism.” (Eph. 4, 5). It is only possible to understand the Holy Scriptures completely and without err if explained by God Himself. God revels some Scripture to few and other Scripture to few others.
