THE STARS WILL BE FALLING FROM THE SKY
Dn 12,1-3; Ps 15; Heb 10,11-14.18; Mk 13,24-32
18 NOVEMBER
The Creator God that has made from nothing, that is from non-existent matter, heaven and earth, is also the Lord of heaven and earth. Everything is in his hands and He can shake everything in every moment like a farmer does with his trees. This truth of God is valid for every day of history. Today the Lord can come and shake the earth and the heavens so that what He has decided is fulfilled. But we know that time will end too, because the Lord will come and shake the heavens and the earth for the last time and in a definitive way, creating new heavens and a new earth. This event can happen at any moment. God, only He, is the Lord of time and eternity, of heaven and earth.
On the twenty-first day of the seventh month, the word of the Lord came through the prophet Haggai: One moment yet, a little while, and I will shake the heavens and the earth, the sea and the dry land. I will shake all the nations, and the treasures of all the nations will come in, And I will fill this house with glory, says the Lord of hosts. Mine is the silver and mine the gold, says the Lord of hosts. Greater will be the future glory of this house than the former, says the Lord of hosts; And in this place I will give you peace, says the Lord of hosts. The message of the Lord came a second time to Haggai on the twenty-fourth day of the month: Tell this to Zerubbabel, the governor of Judah: I will shake the heavens and the earth; I will overthrow the thrones of kingdoms, destroy the power of the kingdoms of the nations. I will overthrow the chariots and their riders, and the riders with their horses shall go down by one another’s sword. On that day, says the Lord of hosts, I will take you, Zerubbabel, son of Shealtiel, my servant, says the Lord, And I will set you as a signet ring; for I have chosen you, says the Lord of hosts (Cf. Hag 2,1-33). See that you do not reject the one who speaks. For if they did not escape when they refused the one who warned them on earth, how much more in our case if we turn away from the one who warns from heaven. His voice shook the earth at that time, but now he has promised, “I will once more shake not only earth but heaven.” That phrase, “once more,” points to (the) removal of shaken, created things, so that what is unshaken may remain. Therefore, we who are receiving the unshakable kingdom should have gratitude, with which we should offer worship pleasing to God in reverence and awe. For our God is a consuming fire (Heb 12,25-28).
It is a truth that must be announced to every man. At any moment the Lord can come to attest to his Lordship on earth. But also at any moment he can come for the creation of the new heavens and the new earth. The Lord has said it. The present world will end. The earth will not end. The existing universe will end. It will be shaken by the Lord. The God that created it is also the God that will create it anew. It is the God that will give it its eternal stability. When these things will happen, what will become of humanity? Here is the Word of hope of Jesus the Lord. He will come and will gather his elect to lead them with him to eternal glory. Of all the others He will not give a thought. They are not his. They do not belong to him. Where will all of them go? Into eternal darkness. Jesus does not recognize them as his own. He cannot welcome them into his kingdom. He was not their shepherd.
“But in those days after that tribulation the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will be falling from the sky, and the powers in the heavens will be shaken. And then they will see ‘the Son of Man coming in the clouds’ with great power and glory, and then he will send out the angels and gather (his) elect from the four winds, from the end of the earth to the end of the sky. “Learn a lesson from the fig tree. When its branch becomes tender and sprouts leaves, you know that summer is near. In the same way, when you see these things happening, know that he is near, at the gates. Amen, I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things have taken place. Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away. “But of that day or hour, no one knows, neither the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.
Today this faith in God and in Christ no longer exists. It is urgent to put it back in every heart.
Mother of God, Angels and Saints, give every light to the Christian so that he gives it to the world.
