And so today, I am going to take a very thorough look at this Gospel, with a lot of help from Jesus Christ the Lord.

In the Gospel, when James and John - the sons of Zebedee, came forward and approached Jesus, they did so seeking ‘status and position’.  They said to him, “Teacher, we want you to do for us whatever we ask of you.” [Mark 10:35] 

The problem with their question, was that it implied that, like ‘the gentiles’, they too, wanted ‘to rule over people’, and “lord it over them”, exercising authority over them.  Not only that, but they wanted to ‘have authority over God’, in the Person of Jesus Christ.  They wanted Jesus, to serve them!

Jesus was quick to reveal the desires in the very depths of their inward being.  And so “he said to them, ‘What do you want me to do for you?” [Mark 10:36] 

Now Jesus reveals that there was a problem, by the very question that He asked.  And here is ‘the problem’; Jesus was revealing through His question:  that the tables were now turned.  Jesus Christ, the Lord, was asking His subjects, what He, their Lord, could do for them.  Should it not be, rather, that His subjects, would be asking Him, what they, could do, for Him?  After, all, just before this passage in Mark’s Gospel, He had just revealed, that He was going to Jerusalem, to be crucified.  One would think, that perhaps now would be a good time, for those who cared about Him, to attend to His final needs.  Instead, they turned inwards, seeking self, instead.

And so when Jesus pressed, them, for ‘the truth’, for their True Motives - they could not hide them.  In the very depths of their beings, they wanted, the most: prestige, position, and power, in this World, that He could possibly offer them.

And they said to him,“Grant us to sit, one at your right hand and one at your left, in your glory.” [Mark 10:36-37]

And Jesus Christ the Lord, in these End Times, has revealed, that the desire in their hearts, was the beginning of the downfall, of the Roman Catholic Hierarchical Institution – from its very beginning.  Jesus explains this quite clearly. 

Jesus said: “And so ‘the seeds of status, position, and ‘world-ly’ power, were sown, already! – within My institution, from the very beginning.” [-Jesus, Sunday, February 3, 2013]

And so Jesus responded, to James and John, with the words: “You do not know what you are asking.  Are you able to drink the chalice that I drink, or to be baptized with the baptism with which I am baptized?” [Mark 10:38]

In saying this, Jesus was asking them, if it was their will to walk the difficult path that leads to His Glory in Heaven.  He was asking James and John if they wanted to walk the path of: self-denial, worldly renouncement, and suffering unto death.  And so, “they said to him, ‘We are able.’ 

And so, Jesus, after consulting the Divine Plan of God the Almighty and Eternal Father in Heaven, and seeing in that moment, the path they would indeed walk, said to them, ‘The chalice that I drink you will drink: and with the baptism with which I am baptized, you will be baptized; but to sit at my right hand or at my left is not mine to grant, but it is for those for whom it has been prepared.’” [Mark 10:39-40]

Now when Jesus said, that “to sit at my right hand or at my left is not mine to grant.” He was reminding James and John of the Divine Will and Plan of God the Eternal Father in Heaven.  God the Eternal Father in Heaven, already had a Plan, regarding who could sit at the right, and at the left, of Jesus Christ the Lord.  Jesus explained this to my wife and I.

Jesus said: “And who will sit, at My right, and at My left, in the Glory, of My Kingdom? - but those who are ‘the least’, on the Face of the Earth.  Only two individuals, have been given, this ‘honor’, because of what, they must undergo; because of ‘the size of the cross’ that they both carry – is the equivalent, to Mine.  You both (referring to my wife and I), will sit at My right, and at My left, because it has been given to you, by God the Eternal Father in Heaven.  And you are My Two Witnesses.  But do you have any: earthly power, position, status, or riches?  Do you belong to ‘a hierarchy’, on this Earth?  No My children! - because you answer to Me; because I am your King!  And you are ‘My Royal Subjects’ - as well as My True Brother and True Sister.” [-Jesus, Sunday, February 3, 2013]

Now for some, hearing the Last Pope and his wife, reveal to the World, that they, are not only the Two Witnesses, but also the ones who were chosen to sit at the right and left hand of The Most High True God, may be somewhat shocking.  So at this time, we want it to be made known, that we did not seek this ‘position’.  And we, are very mindful of the words of Jesus when He said, “He who has seen me, has seen the Father” [John 14:9b].  And so, no matter where we are, whenever Jesus speaks, we know, in the very depths of our inward being, that on either side of Him (-so to speak), is God the Almighty and Eternal Father in Heaven, and the True Holy Spirit.  Likewise, when God the Eternal Father, or the True Holy Spirit speak to us, it is always, as though the other Two Persons of the Blessed Trinity are beside them.  For who can serve themselves?  Even Jesus came to Serve, God the Almighty and Eternal Father in Heaven, with the words, “Thy will be done”!   For what can be gained by serving self? – at the expense of a relationship with one’s Creator? – and the answer is: …Nothing!

So what happened next in the Gospel?  Well, “And when the ten heard it, they began to be indignant at James and John.  And Jesus called them to him and said to them, ‘You know that those who are supposed to rule over the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great men exercise authority over them.  But it shall not be so among you; but whoever would be great among you must be your servant, and whoever would be first among you must be slave of all.  For the Son of man also came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.’”  [Mark 10:41-45]

With these words, Jesus was directing His Followers’, to focus rather, on a vocation of Self-sacrifice  - through serving the Truth to others; and to serve the Truth to others, as Jesus explains: “No matter what the cost!  Even if they had to die, so that others might live.”  And Jesus wants the people to know, that people who live a life of self-sacrifice, do not do so in vain. 

Jesus said: “Those who follow Me, have an even greater gift waiting for them - in Eternal Paradise, where there is no more sin, no more conflict, and above all, no one who offends God.  There is only Love, Peace, Truth, Hope, and Justice, and equality as children of God, for all these have inherited the Kingdom of Heaven.  That would be a great place to be, My children.  So continue to persevere, in all righteousness, and shun every evil, seeking the good of others, at the expense of any future relationship with them.” [-Jesus, Saturday December 19, 2009]

But has the institution, Jesus founded, 2000 years ago, done, what He asked of them?  Has the institution, “sought the good of others, at the expense of any future relationship with them”?   Or has it conformed to ‘the spirit of the world’, tolerating the ‘abominable’, Jezebellian, and Freemasonic agendas.  And has the institution incorporated these evils into its very foundation? – referring of course to ‘the Antipope’ who is now seated over in Rome.  I will let Jesus answer this one.

Jesus continues: “What a grotesque change! - has happened, with in ‘the walls’, of that human ‘hierarchical structure’ - that was founded upon Me!” 

And Jesus describes the “grotesque change”, in detail.

Jesus said: “What has become of all of My Sacraments?  I tell you I do not even recognize them any more – for as long as these abominations are in their midst, I will no longer come to My people.  They must ‘search Me out’; they must find Me; they must find: My True Vicar here on Earth, and My True Church.  They must desire to be part of this Church, and they must desire to be cleansed of all of their sins, and they must desire reconciliation with Me – from the heart; otherwise it is just a ‘sham’.  The ‘true meaning’ of religion, is that: I govern all things – in the individual, because the individual, is subordinate and submissive – to My Will, for their lives.  I have erected a new institution – starting from the ground up; and, on this rock I will continue to build up My Faithful Remnant followers.” [-Jesus, Friday, February 10, 2012]

And so, as we heard in the letter of Hebrews today, “Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in the time of need” [Hebrews 5:16].  Because, I tell you, a Heavy Chastisement is about to be unleashed, upon the Entire Face of this Planet.  And so, to quote the words of His Blessed Mother, “Do, whatever, (The Most High True God) tells you”, [John 2:4] – while you still have time.   For this Testimony, going out to all the Nations, is ‘the antidote’, to the poison being preached, in all the religious institutions, on the Face of the Earth.  So choose your medicine.  But choose, wisely.
