Tuesday, January 2, 2018: (St. Basil the Great)

Jesus said: “My people, the religious leaders of My day were curious why St. John the Baptist was making himself known. He proclaimed to them that he was a ‘voice in the desert’ preparing the way for the promised Messiah. He was not worthy to tie His sandals. His mission was also to call on the people to repent of their sins, and be baptized with water. Every age has its prophets, and St. John was the last of the prophets before My coming in My public life. My people, you are seeing even more prophets in this day who are preparing you for My coming again in spirit. This is another time to call on My people to repent of their sins in Confession, so you will be ready for My Warning experience. Some people are complaining when this will happen, and why are there not any signs. You are already seeing signs in your weather, earthquakes, storms, and fires. This winter cold is another sign to you of things to come. Be patient for My Warning, because I will choose the time when it is right according to My Will, and not according to your desire.”

Jesus said: “My people, this next Sunday you will be celebrating the Epiphany. This feast honors Me, and you have the Three Kings of the Magi bringing Me their kingly gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. There is an old tradition to mark the Three Kings over your front door. 20 C + M + B 18 where you usually change the year every New Year. You can research this tradition for the details of the meaning. The Magi were led to Bethlehem by a miraculous star that many have tried to explain. This was more evidence of My Kingship that Herod felt threatened by it. The Three Kings did not return to Herod, but they returned by a different route. Because of this, Herod caused the slaughter of all the male children below two years old in Bethlehem. This was when an angel visited St. Joseph in a dream and he was told to have the Holy Family move to Egypt to avoid Herod from killing Me. Rejoice that I was protected from harm up until My crucifixion. It was My mission to offer My life up as a sacrifice for the salvation of all of mankind. Your redemption is at hand when I came on the earth as a God-man in Bethlehem.”
