Where do we go from here as Roman Catholics
What if there no longer are Holy Masses?
The Book of Revelation tells us that during the Tribulation the Church is no longer mentioned. Neither is the Holy Spirit peasant since those who were destined to part of the Rapture were taken to heaven. What about those Christians who were left behind?
There will be some who may be left behind to help evangelize the many who are facing the loss of their souls, and God still waits for their repentance. No Churches or clergy left to administer Sacraments, and no visible corners with evangelists preaching could become a nightmare for the many who are reaching for God’s Mercy.
God still shows his Mercy even to the few who have had a revelation when the destruction of evil intentions begins to take over whatever semblance of faith still exists. Enter the few priests and deacons who are left with the task of saving so many and the realization of the souls that are hanging onto a wavering fence that could at any moment tip them into hell.
My latest dream showed myself and a priest vested with only an alb and were preparing to preach to a multitude of souls gathered somewhere in an enclosed building waiting to hear their last and final word of God. The priest mentioned we both had already spoken for 50 minutes each. And were preparing for more. What the number 50 meant is like all dreams that are reflective of unknown items but the existence of our efforts were significant for lost souls reaching out for God’s Mercy.
Then I saw another angel come up from the East, holding the seal of the living God. He cried out in a loud voice to the four angels who were given power to damage the land and the sea. “Do not damage the land and the sea or the trees until we put the seal on the foreheads of the servants of our God.” I heard the number of those who had been marked with the seal, one hundred and forty-four thousand marked from every tribe of the Israelites.” (Rev 7: 2 - 4).
Following chapter 3 the church no longer is mentioned in Revelation. Not until chapter 22 is the term Church even mentioned. Here we see the introduction of the New Heaven and New earth and we can only hope that the efforts of the 144,000 and my priest friend and I might have had some positive results finding and evangelizing for many lost souls for God.
Whether the priests and deacons who were left to evangelize were considered part of this contingent matters very little. God will provide multiple souls to bring the last opportunity to save as many souls who have changed their minds.
