In this Bible Study you will have an opportunity to discern about the times in which we are living. This is a message of Peace.

ZION - Armagedon

Apocalypse 16:13-16

13 And I saw from the mouth of the dragon, and from the mouth of the beast, and from the mouth of the false prophet, three unclean spirits like frogs.
14 For they are the spirits of devils working signs, and they go forth unto the kings of the whole earth, to gather them to battle against the great day of the Almighty God.
15 Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.
16 And he shall gather them together into a place, which in Hebrew is called Armagedon.

How can we prepare ourselves?

Mark
1: 15 And saying: The time is accomplished, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent, and believe the gospel.

Luke
13: 4 Or those eighteen upon whom the tower fell in Siloe, and slew them: think you, that they also were debtors above all the men that dwelt in Jerusalem?
13: 5 No, I say to you; but except you do penance, you shall all likewise perish.

Luke 14:31-33
31 Or, what king, about to go to make war against another king, doth not first sit down and think whether he be able, with ten thousand, to meet him that, with twenty thousand, cometh against him? 32 Or else, whilst the other is yet afar off, sending an embassy, he desireth conditions of peace.
33 So likewise every one of you that doth not renounce all that he possesseth, cannot be my disciple.

Apoc. 3:3
3 Have in mind therefore in what manner thou hast received and heard: and observe, and do penance. If then thou shalt not watch, I will come to thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know at what hour I will come to thee.

Ephesians 6:11-15
11 Put you on the armour of God, that you may be able to stand against the deceits of the devil.
12 For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood; but against principalities and power, against the rulers of the world of this darkness, against the spirits of wickedness in the high places.
13 Therefore take unto you the armour of God, that you may be able to resist in the evil day, and to stand in all things perfect.
14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of justice,
15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace:

Psalm 45:2-3
2 Our God is our refuge and strength: a helper in troubles, which have found us exceedingly.
3 Therefore we will not fear, when the earth shall be troubled; and the mountains shall be removed
into the heart of the sea.

Food, clothing, water, etc.?

Matthew 19:21
Jesus saith to him: If thou wilt be perfect, go sell what thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou
shalt have treasure in heaven: and come follow me.

Luke 12:20-23
20 But God said to him: Thou fool, this night do they require thy soul of thee: and whose shall those things be which thou hast provided?
21 So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich towards God.
22 And he said to his disciples: Therefore I say to you, be not solicitous for your life, what you shall
eat; nor for your body, what you shall put on.
23 The life is more than the meat, and the body is more than the raiment.

Luke 12:32-34
32 Fear not, little flock, for it hath pleased your Father to give you a kingdom.
33 Sell what you possess and give alms. Make to yourselves bags which grow not old, a treasure in
heaven which faileth not: where no thief approacheth, nor moth corrupteth.
34 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

James 5:1-8
1 Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl in your miseries, which shall come upon you.
2 Your riches are corrupted: and your garments are motheaten.
3 Your gold and silver is cankered: and the rust of them shall be for a testimony against you, and
shall eat your flesh like fire. You have stored up to yourselves wrath against the last days.
4 Behold the hire of the labourers, who have reaped down your fields, which by fraud has been
kept back by you, crieth: and the cry of them hath entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth.
5 You have feasted upon earth: and in riotousness you have nourished your hearts, in the day of
slaughter.
6 You have condemned and put to death the Just One, and he resisted you not.
7 Be patient therefore, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for
the precious fruit of the earth: patiently bearing till he receive the early and latter rain.
8 Be you therefore also patient, and strengthen your hearts: for the coming of the Lord is at hand.

Should we worry ?

Matthew 6:25-34
25 Therefore I say to you, be not solicitous for your life, what you shall eat, nor for your body, what you shall put on. Is not the life more than the meat: and the body more than the raiment?
26 Behold the birds of the air, for they neither sow, nor do they reap, nor gather into barns: and your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are not you of much more value than they?
27 And which of you by taking thought, can add to his stature by one cubit?
28 And for raiment why are you solicitous? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they labour not, neither do they spin.
29 But I say to you, that not even Solomon in all his glory was arrayed as one of these.
30 And if the grass of the field, which is to day, and tomorrow is cast into the oven, God doth so clothe: how much more you, O ye of little faith?
31 Be not solicitous therefore, saying, What shall we eat: or what shall we drink, or wherewith shall we be clothed?
32 For after all these things do the heathens seek. For your Father knoweth that you have need of all these things.
33 Seek ye therefore first the kingdom of God, and his justice, and all these things shall be added unto you.
34 Be not therefore solicitous for to morrow; for the morrow will be solicitous for itself. Sufficient for the day is the evil thereof.

Mathhew 10: 39
He that findeth his life, shall lose it: and he that shall lose his life for me, shall find it [back]

The ark of Noah

Genesis 6:14-17
14 Make thee an ark of timber planks: thou shalt make little rooms in the ark, and thou shalt pitch it within and without.
15 And thus shalt thou make it: The length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits: the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits.
16 Thou shalt make a window in the ark, and in a cubit shalt thou finish the top of it: and the door of the ark thou shalt set in the side: with lower, middle chambers, and third stories shalt thou make it.
17 Behold I will bring the waters of a great flood upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, under heaven. All things that are in the earth shall be consumed

Matthew 24-37-51
37 And as in the days of Noe, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
38 For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in
marriage, even till that day in which Noe entered into the ark,
39 And they knew not till the flood came, and took them all away; so also shall the coming of the
Son of man be.
40 Then two shall be in the field: one shall be taken, and one shall be left.
41 Two women shall be grinding at the mill: one shall be taken, and one shall be left.
42 Watch ye therefore, because ye know not what hour your Lord will come.
43 But know this ye, that if the goodman of the house knew at what hour the thief would come, he
would certainly watch, and would not suffer his house to be broken open.
44 Wherefore be you also ready, because at what hour you know not the Son of man will come.
45 Who, thinkest thou, is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath appointed over his family,
to give them meat in season.
46 Blessed is that servant, whom when his lord shall come he shall find so doing.
47 Amen I say to you, he shall place him over all his goods.
48 But if that evil servant shall say in his heart: My lord is long a coming:
49 And shall begin to strike his fellow servants, and shall eat and drink with drunkards:
50 The lord of that servant shall come in a day that he hopeth not, and at an hour that he knoweth
not:
51 And shall separate him, and appoint his portion with the hypocrites. There shall be weeping and
gnashing of teeth.

The ark of the covenant

Apocalypse 11:19 Apoc 12
11:19 And the temple of God was opened in heaven: and the ark of his testament was seen in his temple, and there were lightnings, and voices, and an earthquake, and great hail.
Chapter 12
1 And a great sign appeared in heaven: A woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars:
2 And being with child, she cried travailing in birth, and was in pain to be delivered.
3 And there was seen another sign in heaven: and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads, and ten horns: and on his head seven diadems:
4 And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman who was ready to be delivered; that, when she should be delivered, he might devour her son.
5 And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with an iron rod: and her son was taken up to God, and to his throne.
6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she had a place prepared by God, that there they should feed her a thousand two hundred sixty days.
7 And there was a great battle in heaven, Michael and his angels fought with the dragon, and the dragon fought and his angels:
8 And they prevailed not, neither was their place found any more in heaven.
9 And that great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, who is called the devil and Satan, who seduceth the whole world; and he was cast unto the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him.
10 And I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying: Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: because the accuser of our brethren is cast forth, who accused them before our God day and night.
11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of the testimony, and they loved not their lives unto death.
12 Therefore rejoice, O heavens, and you that dwell therein. Woe to the earth, and to the sea,
because the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, knowing that he hath but a short time.
13 And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman, who brought forth the man child:
14 And there were given to the woman two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the desert unto her place, where she is nourished for a time and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.
15 And the serpent cast out of his mouth after the woman, water as it were a river; that he might cause her to be carried away by the river.
16 And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the river, which the dragon cast out of his mouth.
17 And the dragon was angry against the woman: and went to make war with the rest of her seed, who keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.

Isaiah 14:32 What will one answer the messengers of the nation?
"The LORD has founded Zion, and in her the afflicted of his people find refuge." (RSV)

ZION the Holy Mountain of God; by careful study and discernment will be understood to be the City of God, the New Jerusalem, Our Lady. >>> See separate file on ZION
In revelations to Venerable Sr. Maria of Agreda, [The Mystical City of God] our Blessed Mother Mary dictated the complete biography of her life. She is quoted as Zion, the holy mountain.

>>> This is how St. Louis G. de Montfort in "True Devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary" speaks about Our Lady:
[ 261 The Holy Spirit also calls her the Sanctuary of the Divinity, the Resting-Place of the Holy Spirit, the Throne of God, the City of God, the Altar of God, the Temple of God, the World of God. All these titles and expressions of praise are very real when related to the different wonders the Almighty worked in her and the graces which he bestowed on her. ]

Our Lady is asking all her children to consecrate themselves to Her Immaculate Heart, thereby entering into this holy refuge of sinners, [Ark of the Covenant] that God has provided for our Salvation.[Messages from apparitions and other private revelations]

False prophets.

Matthew 24:4-7
4 And Jesus answering, said to them: Take heed that no man seduce you:
5 For many will come in my name saying, I am Christ: and they will seduce many.
6 And you shall hear of wars and rumours of wars. See that ye be not troubled. For these things
must come to pass, but the end is not yet.

Mattew 24-24 [ Study Matthew chapter 24, about the end of times >>> ]
24 For there shall arise false Christs and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders,
insomuch as to deceive (if possible) even the elect.
25 Behold I have told it to you, beforehand.

Mattew 24-36 About the hour of the end
36 But of that day and hour no one knows, not the angels of heaven, but the Father alone.

Fear, is it healthy ?

We must have great awe and reverence of God - We must have fear of offending Him.

Deuteronomy 10:12-13
12 And now, Israel, what doth the Lord thy God require of thee, but that thou fear the Lord thy
God, and walk in his ways, and love him, and serve the Lord thy God, with all thy heart, and with all
thy soul:
13 And keep the commandments of the Lord, and his ceremonies, which I command thee this day,
that it may be well with thee?

well with them, and with their children after them.
40 And I will make an everlasting covenant with them, and will not cease to do them good: and I will
give my fear in their heart, that they may not revolt from me.

Apocalypse 15:4
15:4 Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and magnify thy name? For thou only art holy: for all nations
shall come, and shall adore in thy sight, because thy judgments are manifest.

Running away

Job 34:22
There is no darkness, and there is no shadow of death, where they may be hid who work
iniquity.

Psalm 139:11-12
11 And I said: Perhaps darkness shall cover me: and night shall be my light in my pleasures.
12 But darkness shall not be dark to thee, and night shall be light as day: the darkness thereof, and
the light thereof are alike to thee.

Isaias 29:15
Woe to you that are deep of heart, to hide your counsel from the Lord: and their works are in the
dark, and they say: Who seeth us, and who knoweth us?

Shall a man be hid in secret places, and I not see him, saith the Lord? do not I fill heaven and earth, saith the Lord?

though they hide themselves from my eyes in the depth of the sea, there will I command the serpent
and he shall bite them.
4 And if they go into captivity before their enemies, there will I command the sword, and it shall kill
them. And I will set my eyes upon them for evil, and not for good.

Hebrews 4:13
Neither is there any creature invisible in his sight: but all things are naked and open to his eyes, to whom our speech is.

The Devil

Matthew 26: 41
Watch ye, and pray that ye enter not into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh
weak.

Luke 22: 46
And he said to them: Why sleep you? arise, pray, lest you enter into temptation.

1 Corinthians 7:5
Defraud not one another, except, perhaps, by consent, for a time, that you may give yourselves to
prayer; and return together again, lest Satan tempt you for your incontinency.

James 1:13-15
13 Let no man, when he is tempted, say that he is tempted by God. For God is not a tempter of
evils, and he tempteth no man.
14 But every man is tempted by his own concupiscence, being drawn away and allured.
15 Then when concupiscence hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin. But sin, when it is completed,
begetteth death.
16 Do not err, therefore, my dearest brethren.

James 4:7
Be subject therefore to God, but resist the devil, and he will fly from you.

John 8:43-44
43 Why do you not know my speech? Because you cannot hear my word.
44 You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you will do. He was a murderer
from the beginning, and he stood not in the truth; because truth is not in him. When he speaketh a lie,
he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father thereof.

1 Peter 5:8
Be sober and watch: because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, goeth about seeking
whom he may devour.

1 John 3:8-10
8 He that commmitteth sin is of the devil: for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose,
the Son of God appeared, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
9 Whosoever is born of God, commmitteth not sin: for his seed abideth in him, and he can not sin,
because he is born of God.
10 In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil. Whosoever is not just, is
not of God, nor he that loveth not his brother.

Apocalypse 12:12
Therefore rejoice, O heavens, and you that dwell therein. Woe to the earth, and to the sea,
because the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, knowing that he hath but a short time.

chain in his hand.

thousand years. yeah !
3 And he cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should
no more seduce the nations, till the thousand years be finished. And after that, he must be loosed a
little time.

Apoc 20:9-10
9 And there came down fire from God out of heaven, and devoured them; and the devil, who
seduced them, was cast into the pool of fire and brimstone, where both the beast

Weapons

Deuteronomy 20:2-4
2 And when the battle is now at hand, the priest shall stand before the army, and shall speak to the
people in this manner:
3 Hear, O Israel, you join battle this day against your enemies, let not your heart be dismayed, be
not afraid, do not give back, fear ye them not:
4 Because the Lord your God is in the midst of you, and will fight for you against your enemies, to
deliver you from danger.

the meek: if by any means you may be hid in the day of the Lord's indignation.

What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who is against us?

1 Timothy 6:12-16
12 Fight the good fight of faith: lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art called, and hast
confessed a good confession before many witnesses.
13 I charge thee before God, who quickeneth all things, and before Christ Jesus, who gave
testimony under Pontius Pilate, a good confession,
14 That thou keep the commandment without spot, blameless, unto the coming of our Lord Jesus
Christ,
15 Which in his times he shall shew who is the Blessed and only Mighty, the King of kings, and
Lord of lords;
16 Who only hath immortality, and inhabiteth light inaccessible, whom no man hath seen, nor can
see: to whom be honour and empire everlasting. Amen.

1 Peter 5:8

The Chastisement

17 But of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat. for in what day soever thou
shalt eat of it, thou shalt die the death.

2 Chronicles 7:14
And my people, upon whom my name is called, being converted, shall make supplication to me,
and seek out my face, and do penance for their most wicked ways: then will I hear from heaven, and
will forgive their sins and will heal their land.

End of the world

Matthew 24:27-
27 For as lightning cometh out of the east, and appeareth even into the west: so shall the coming of
the Son of man be.
28 Wheresoever the body shall be, there shall the eagles also be gathered together.
29 And immediately after the tribulation of those days, the sun shall be darkened and the moon shall
not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of heaven shall be moved:
30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all tribes of the earth
mourn: and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with much power and
majesty.
31 And he shall send his angels with a trumpet, and a great voice: and they shall gather together his
elect from the four winds, from the farthest parts of the heavens to the utmost bounds of them.
32 And from the fig tree learn a parable: When the branch thereof is now tender, and the leaves
come forth, you know that summer is nigh.
33 So you also, when you shall see all these things, know ye that it is nigh, even at the doors.
34 Amen I say to you, that this generation shall not pass, till all these things be done.
35 Heaven and earth shall pass, but my words shall not pass.
36 But of that day and hour no one knows, not the angels of heaven, but the Father alone.

Rumors and voices

Matthew 24:3-15
3 And when he was sitting on mount Olivet, the disciples came to him privately, saying: Tell us when
shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the consummation of the
world?
4 And Jesus answering, said to them: Take heed that no man seduce you:
5 For many will come in my name saying, I am Christ: and they will seduce many.
6 And you shall hear of wars and rumours of wars. See that ye be not troubled. For these things
must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there shall be pestilences,
and famines, and earthquakes in places:
8 Now all these are the beginnings of sorrows.
9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall put you to death: and you shall be hated by
all nations for my name's sake.
10 And then shall many be scandalized: and shall betray one another: and shall hate one another.
11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall seduce many.
12 And because iniquity hath abounded, the charity of many shall grow cold.
13 But he that shall persevere to the end, he shall be saved.
14 And this gospel of the kingdom, shall be preached in the whole world, for a testimony to all
nations, and then shall the consummation come.
15 When therefore you shall see the abomination of desolation, which was spoken of by Daniel
the prophet, standing in the holy place: he that readeth let him understand.

Note: this is already happening today, this is the partial or total abolition of the "perpetual sacrifice" which is the Holy Mass. Protestantism doesn't believe that Jesus is truly present in the Blessed Sacrament, many Catholics are so cold in the faith that they receive the true bread that has come down from heaven either sacrilegiously or without any discernment.

Conclusion

This page is not written to alarm anyone, on the contrary, we are proclaiming the Good News of the Kingdom of Heaven. Repent therefore and believe in the Good News.

The end is always near, but it is no reason to fear for the one who fears God.

May the Peace of Christ reign in your heart, and bring you to trust in Jesus Christ, our Lord, God and Saviour. To Him all the Glory and honour now and forever. Amen.

May you be blessed in the maternal love of Mother Mary, whose Immaculate Heart is open to receive you as the refuge of Love in these times of endurance.

1 John 4:18 There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and he who fears is not perfected in love.

I strongly suggest that you pray to the Holy Spirit; then come with an open heart and penetrate in the great mystery which is hidden in ZION.

To abide in total peace, we should respond to the request of Our Blessed Mother by praying the Rosary daily.

Follow the Lord's prayer " Give us this day our daily bread " : Go to mass daily and receive Jesus in the Eucharist, let Him be borne in the Bethlehem of your heart. Feed your soul for everlasting life.
