“The cloud covered the tabernacle of the testimony, and the glory of the Lord filled it. Neither could Moses go into the tabernacle of the covenant, the cloud covering all things and the majesty of the Lord shining, for the cloud had covered all.”
–Exodus 40:32-33
In my previous post, I explored the many advantages we’d enjoy once we’re at long-last rid of heinous scourges such as Trans-Jennerism, perpetual war, and Tucho’s pornography. Those of us who consecrate ourselves to the Blessed Virgin Mary know that her Immaculate Heart will Triumph and serve as the guiding light for our future.
After the massive chastisement, when the world has been torched by Three Days of Darkness, what will it be like for the Triumph benefactors?
I suspect it will resemble the Old Testament’s Exodus from Egypt, where the Hebrews had to become totally dependent on God. Imagine what it would have been like for them, immediately released from the talons of Pharaoh, free after a 400+ year captivity. They possessed no economy, no civil structures, didn’t know how to cook or heal themselves from diseases, and were effectively children.
Led by human pastors (Moses and Aaron), the Hebrews relied totally on God to guide them from Egyptian slavery, through the wilderness, and into the Promised Land of Canaan.
One might compare the Israelites’ release from Egypt to someone getting out of prison after 50 years (clueless of how to proceed; lacking numerous essential skills). That’s why the Hebrews had so many strict laws against eating pork, quarantine restrictions, and various other precise guidelines for every aspect of life (some of which were later abrogated). While there were many reasons for God’s Levitical ordinances, many were also borne out of practical necessity.
Might we be in store for something like this if we reach the Triumph of Our Lady’s Immaculate Heart?
Mary’s Triumph – A Possible “Exodus/Leviticus” Lifestyle for Us?
Some of the approved private revelations speak of the immediate turmoil we might face as survivors emerging from the Three Days of Darkness. For example, the stigmatist Marie Julie-Jahenny warns of a post-apocalyptic devastation after the demons have demolished almost everything.
“The earth will become like a vast cemetery. The bodies of the wicked and the just will cover the ground.”
It doesn’t take an expert farmer to realize how loads of dead bodies won’t be great for the soil. That’s to say nothing of the rest of the world’s structures and supply systems (potentially ruined or unsalvageable). So, I suspect we’ll need the Blessed Mother to guide us on where to go, and how to re-cultivate society.
Just as the Hebrews needed God’s pillars of clouds and fire to guide them, we must devote our direct attention to Mary and whomever she puts in charge. In addition, since few of us have any recollection of authentic, sustainable Catholic society (thanks to modernism), there’s bound to be at least a few years of learning curve.
It would be naïve to think this will occur without hard work, toil, strict resource conservation, and above all, faith in God. We should also remember that these difficulties led many lukewarm Israelites to murmur against Moses, plot a course to return to Egypt, and betray God.
Although difficult times lead to desperate measures, this may be a spiritual blessing in disguise. For it is exactly such hardship that brings us closer to God. Furthermore, fewer lifestyle options and personal freedoms (which we’ve viciously abused) force us into a greater dependance on Jesus and Mary. Instead of us micro-managing our lives, which has been a resounding disaster, Mary (and her appointed pastors) will direct us, similar to how God guided Moses and the Hebrews.
Is there any existing model for how this would work?
Consecrated Religion – A Model for Peace & True Freedom
Yes, the consecrated religious lifestyle exemplifies the many virtues associated with total abandonment to lawful superiors.
While worldlings hold contempt for monks and nuns, viewing their lives as slavery, religious are among the happiest, and experience tremendous freedom from the world’s soul-sucking “hamster wheels.” To paraphrase St. Alphonsus Ligouri – if man knew the incredible joy and peace of abandoning the world, in search of God alone, he would storm the monasteries and demand admittance.
The evangelical counsels required of religious are the building blocks for fortifying an edifice of immeasurable peace and tranquility. Poverty frees us from the endless pursuit of scarce resources and ever diminishing returns. Chastity safeguards us from the world’s omnipresent dangers of impurity. Obedience unites our will with God’s, and lets us “outsource” to a higher power rather than consternate over every frustrating temporal affair. Should we wish to escape the trifold poisons of the world, the flesh, and the devil, we may employ these counsels for dependable antidotes.
Meditate on this for a while, and you shall see why the spiritual doctors recommend this approach for discovering a certain harmony, never found in secular society.
Then, reflect on the possibility of an even grander version of this, for Mary’s joyous benefactors, in such a splendid future. I cannot predict anything specific (beyond what appears in prophecy), but I believe the dynamics of religious life will manifest prominently when Our Lady triumphs.
It may not be an all-encompassing monastic society, but we can have reasonable assurance of the discontinuation of today’s hyper-individualistic “atomism.” Traditionally, even hermits have lived in more cohesive communities than today’s secular, brutish, self-serving isolationism. Whatever we lose in day-to-day freedoms, will be replaced with a far more satisfying and godly existence.
“Bahh! This sounds like torture. I would prefer to retain my personal autonomy. I will follow Frank Sinatra and do it MYYYY WAYYYYY!”
Suit yourself then and prepare for the typical results of obstinate self-determinism. The rest of us, God willing, will enjoy a glorious new era, bereft of frivolous, selfish vanities. For certain, this will include the prompt elimination of an array of manmade philosophies and ideologies that have made us miserable.
Mary’s Triumph: The End of Man’s Stupid “Political Philosophies”
Another delightful side effect of Our Lady’s Triumph, and our complete helpless dependence on her will be a conclusive end to all of man’s most ludicrous philosophies and ideas. Here, I don’t refer to virtuous pagan wisdom (like Aristotelian ethics/politics), but to all the other foolish sophistry you’d find in modern academies. Most of it has only existed a few short centuries, tied to man’s awful insistence on contradicting the timeless teachings of Holy Mother Church.
- Evolution
- Republicanism & Liberalism (i.e., Democracy)
- Feminism
- Veganism & Vegetable-Aryans (the so-called “superior race” of vegetable eaters)
- Distributism (the crypto-communism of Chesterton and Belloc)
- Freemasonry, Jew-ism, Communism, Atheism, Fascism, etc.
- Enlightened Egoism (as espoused by Rand)
- Socio-Economic Theories – Keynesianism, Anarcho-Capitalism, Monetarism, Public Choice Theory, and so forth.
- Any obsession over the “right form of government”
- . . . and many other worthless contrivances of man.
What will we do without these useless intellectual alchemies and concoctions?
We will do whatever Our Lady, or the Great Pope or Great Monarch, tells us.
They will guide us into the next Promised Land, full of limitless milk and honey, and away from these errors (provided we’re obedient enough to follow). Thus ends the hubristic era of “political philosophy,” where we speculate on how to govern ourselves. The past several centuries of “Enlightenment” may remind us of an impudent child who would choose when/if the parent would beat him for his misbehavior.
What absurdity?!
Let us not forget that government, after all, is a punishment, heaped upon us for our insolence (see 1 Kings 1:8). Men cannot negotiate out of the necessity to work, nor can women deliver children without agony (see Genesis 3:16-17). Those are non-negotiable punishments. In a similar vein, we should acknowledge the inefficacy of attempting to control the punishment of governance, handed down to us by God.
There is, however, a wonderful silver lining to all this.
The government enacted by Our Triumphant Lady will be the most glorious in all of human history, with the arrival of the Great Monarch and Great Pontiff. If ever it would feel less like punishment, and more like unmitigated peace and prosperity, the future Reign of Mary would be such a time.
Post Triumph: Only 25 Years Until Antichrist?
We should also meditate on what in the world could ever end such a glorious era of unprecedented tranquility. This is particularly pertinent if the peace period will not last beyond 25 years (as Fr. Dave Nix reminds us, citing Our Lady of La Salette).
25 years is a short enough time frame, leaving plenty of room for anyone under 50 with a considerable chance of reaching the final days. We should reflect on how this fast transition would reconcile with Jesus’ prophetic question: “Will the Son of Man find faith?”
Taken another way, will he find faith among YOU AND I, dear reader, if we make it to those dark final days of iniquity?
We might surmise that most of the folks who survive the massive chastisement may not achieve salvation (recalling the important Doctrine of the Fewness of the Saved, still in effect). Again, this would be consistent with the Egyptian Exodus analogy, where the journey was long, strenuous, and few made it to the Promised Land (including Moses and Aaron). When the time arrives, will we remain faithful during those wicked times, or will we somehow rebel against Our Lady, like Korah and his mutineers did against Moses?
Catholics who live to see the end of this current “Egypt” ordeal must continue with a most diligent and penitential demeanor, the same as Our Lady of Fatima commanded. It would be the only way we could expect to endure the daunting, 3 ½ year reign of antichrist.
Post-Triumph Considerations
In the meantime, we have much to ponder regarding the collapse of today’s tyranny, followed by Our Lady’s rescue, before a rapid swing back to misery.
- Will folks slowly drive one another nuts, quarrel a bunch, and create fertile ground for an opportunistic antichrist (to save us)?
- Would today’s “cashless economy,” “wokeism,” and other horrors RETURN after a short while when folks get complacent during the peaceful era?
- If today’s preliminary “mark of the beast” has been vaccines and other social traps, will the evildoers of the future resurrect similar ideas, and multiply their severity? DeathVax3?
- Warning: If you suffer from melancholy, neuroticism, or scrupulosity, try not to overthink these things. The ultimate takeaway involves developing a total trust and abandonment to Mary and our all-loving God. Done correctly, this should cultivate an optimistic outlook for the future.
Conclusion – Strategies for Coping with the Agonizing Present Situation
Let us finish with a reminder of what we can do to mitigate the chaos of our current times, and better prepare for Our Lady’s Triumph.
- The usual – Pray the Rosary Every Day (15 decades)
- Fasting to improve physical and spiritual maladies. St. Jerome reminds us of how Sodom & Gomorrah could have avoided their destruction had they fasted and mortified their lower passions. This is something to consider for those who are so sorely tempted by sins of impurity. It’s also a great way to reduce/eliminate physical ailments. As the adage goes, ⅓ of what you eat is for your health; the other ⅔ are for your physician.
- Go outside for long walks. This could come across as hackneyed “self-help” mumbo-jumbo, but it’s true. Many of my most insightful thoughts (if you could call them that) originate from my walks.
- Caveat: To do this most properly, leave the stupid phone at home. Don’t be the typical millennial who recites a proverbial Rifleman’s Creed, only to substitute the word “rifle” with “cell phone.” Also, remember to pray the Rosary during part of your walk, or you risk becoming like so many insufferable secular philosophers, albeit avid walkers, like Immanuel Kant and Friedrich Nietzsche.
- Ditch the wussy Novus-Ordo Catholic-Lite Liturgical Calendar, and embrace the pre-1955 version, where many more saintly commemorations remain intact. This will better instruct you when to fast rather than guessing aimlessly at your penance-phobic Nervous Order parish.
- Pray for perseverance every morning, don’t worry, and don’t cave into discouragement. If you do, Bergoglio wins.
Catholics Aren't Zombies!
