The END OF THE WORLD Will Be Like This... w/ Ralph Martin

[@noahpelletier2510]

Recently a priest told me a story about the life of St. Francis. One day when Francis was gardening his brothers came up to him and asked him what would he do if he knew that the end was near and that our lord would return at any moment. St. Francis after thinking for a moment, replied, "I would keep gardening". I'm not 100% sure this is true but the message was very impactful for me. We know not the day or the hour, so just keep gardening.

[@tomforde6696]

A nice story but I know of no account that has St Francis look after a garden. Lepers, yes, gardens no. Perhaps it was another saint the story was originally about? I am a Franciscan by the way.

@@FrankNStein-pf9rr OK, that is some made up stuff. Nowhere in the scripture can your text be found. Some parts yes, but they are intertwined with fallacies to the degree. Even the 'title' Holy Father is for God Himself. And not for the mere religious man. About the Mary, may we all follow her example in chastity and holiness but heaven forbid we give her any worship equal to God. Also it's the Yeshua that not only crushes Satan but does it with the Word out of His mouth - coming on the clouds of glory. Read the book of Revelation and stick the to simplicity of faith. Honour people. Worship God.

It may be possible that the end is near, but regardless of whether it is or not, we should continue living good Catholic Christian lives as if it weren’t.

[@dave9497]

Best advice yet.

[@Cationna]

To be honest, I think it's the opposite - the end may or may not be near, but we should live as vigilant a Christian life as possible, convert our hearts and listen to the Gospel, as if it was certain the end is going to be any day now. That's how the Apostles and the early Church took it and I think that's the best way we can take it. Memento Mori!

Thank you brother for your comment. As an Orthodox believer virtually everything you’ve said we must apply, Although in our case we attend the Divine Liturgy and we pray the Jesus Prayer, not instead of the Rosary, and many of us pray to the Theotokos the following: “Under your compassion we take refuge, Theotokos, Do not overlook our prayers in the midst of tribulation, but deliver us from danger, Oh only pure, only blessed one.” Glory to God!

[@heidiranger6106]

Dave, Not much of what you are saying is even in the Bible. Did you read it? Where is Purgatory spoken of or even praying the Rosary? Sorry to say, but The Bible should be the only rule of faith and practice, not man made tradition.

[@angelblessing7937]

@@heidiranger6106 The bible speaks of us being refined in the fire, Jesus gave us to his mother at the foot of the cross telling John to take her into his home and he was her son, ie, we are her children. When God speaks of confounding the wise this is in relation to the Blessed Virgin, she is the Ark of the new covenant and found by humble souls, the treasure we find when we seek. Jesus told us he would send us the paraclete who has revealed Divine truths and mysteries through the church and saints over 2000 years bit by bit. We would not be left as orphans, we have Our Lady and Saint Joseph, our spiritual mother and father. I abandoned the faith most of my life and through the mother of God had a miraculous conversion. She is the immaculata and my goodness will she crush his head as is written. Satan waged war on our mother as she is his enemy, soon she will triumph🥰

I bet you enjoyed this discussion.

[@bishoythakla5896]

That’s not really true. Just as Jesus gives the apostles and first Christians ways to know when the Romans would sack Jerusalem and the Temple in the Gospel of Matthew, he also gave us general signs to know when the end days were upon us. The first Christians kept Jesus’ word and when they saw “foreign armies” surrounding Jerusalem and the abomination of desolation in the temple, they fled. Not a single Christian perished to the Romans, or so Eusebius tells us. No, we cannot know the exact hour and minute when Jesus is coming. But we can have a general idea that He may be coming soon based on our being aware of what’s going on around us.

[@AllanKoayTC]

So when they had come together, they asked him, “Lord, will you at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?” He said to them, “It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has fixed by his own authority. But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samar′ia and to the end of the earth.” Acts 1:6-8 the when and how are not our main concern. ours is to help restore the Kingdom of God, and we, each and every one of us, you and I, are already doing it. it had already started 2,000 years ago after Jesus' resurrection. every generation think they are living in the end times. this kind of preoccupation can become a dangerous and unhealthy obsession. just look at how many suicide cults this kind of obsession has created. listen to DAY 322 of the Bible in a Year podcast and hear Fr Mike's explanation of the verses above. it's really eye-opening.

[@louisaccardi2268]

What Dr. Martin said about the Holy Scriptures is so essential. It is the verses of the Bible that are clear that we are not obeying that closely that we should be more concerned about. For instance, Jesus said, "Then he said to them all, “If any want to become my followers, let them deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me." (Luke 9: 23 NRSV Catholic Ed.). There in Luke 9: 23 is the message of self-denial on a daily basis, which the great saints through the centuries exemplified to us. Are we taking up our cross and following Jesus daily? Not on occasions of special emphasis, but every single day? That is a powerful verse to get right in our lives as authentic followers of Christ.

[@wyomingpark]

It's impossible to do that. We would have to remove ourselves from society completely, live in the forest like a monk and live off the land. Yes, I guess we could do that. But what's the point of doing that? We may as well die so we can be with Christ.

[@richardfriend5438]

Fr Chad Ripperger said in US Grace Force’s channel that during in an exorcism, a demon he was exorcising suddenly began crying and said, “HE is going to take my power away!” He being God the Father as Fr Ripperger later said. It is a good sign because the physical chastisement is near at hand and Our Lady’s Triumph is close. Funny that this video came out a week after Fr Chad’s interview.

Thank you for continuing to carry 'the torch', which reminds me of the 'Fire Rally' in St. Cloud, MN '87.

When I was growing up in the 1970s, young priests were teaching us kids (as I'm sure they had been taught in seminary) things like Satan/the Devil was just the "personification" of evil (that is, he didn't really exist, even though evil as a concept did) and that the scripture regarding the feeding of the masses wasn't really a "miracle" performed by Christ, but instead, that the miracle instead was that people, who always had food with them but didn't want to admit to it, started to share it with others. Welcome to the post-Vatican II Catholic Church. This was more than 40 years ago! We've only continued to go down a bad path to where we are today.

I'm really struggling with all the constant immodest commercials on KZbin now, they are even on Catholic channels. 🙏

[@VictoryOvrDepression]

You learn to get used to it and don’t pay attention. Some you can skip all that. Or if you upgrade you get no commercials

[@Wolffur]

That's KZbin for you. They would place an advertisement for GrubHub or Domino's. In front of a workout routine. I've learned to ignore, and even sometimes laugh at their tasteless placements of advertising and greed. Remember that the Evil One, in his vanity, cannot endure to be ignored or mocked.

I’m seeing this in 2024. Would love to see an update for this time in the world.

[@MeaningToMatter]

Here's the things... The "end of the world" is always certain and imminent for each of us... So much time is spent of speculating the day or the hour (which of course we know we can't know), but one thing is certain for us all, we will all experience the end of this world upon our death. Memento Mori... It may be sooner than we think, but it will be.

I suspect that things will get better again…for awhile, before it gets worse again. Focus each day on living the Faith and quit trying to predict the “day, time and hour”.

[@williambillycraig1057]

I am a Protestant, and I enjoy watching this show and Trint Horns. It is just sad to see cheap shots like the one we see at the 45-second mark where he speaks to the "fundamentalist protestants trying to count the day and hour from Daniel 9." We can all use this way of talking to diminish the other side. For example, what if a Catholic came across a protestant channel and heard the conversations on some topic a Catholic disagrees with a begin like this. "We are all aware of the enumerable amount of evil the fundamentalist Catholics produced during the inquisition." It would burn down bridges more than build them. I almost stopped listening to this interview, but this channel does not usually disparage protestants, so I continued to watch. I liked his overall message, and I thought he spoke well and made excellent points other than the Church going through the tribulation, but this is a minor disagreement. But he should consider how he frames his message and how it would affect those who may be willing to listen to what he says.

[@stefkadank-derpjr1453]

Thank You for the reminder...I mentioned to a devout member of my church a few weeks ago that I have heard some wonderful sermons from protestant churches...I was actually talking about things I have heard on youtube and such...but he looked at me as if I had been unfaithful or perhaps had gone crazy. I think we need to have more love and understanding between us especially when you realize that there are many Americans today who have never stepped foot inside a church or who can name even one disciple of Christ. It feels to me that we are on the same team. I do come across very negative things said about us Catholics from time to time online and on Christian radio. Its always good to point this out because we all fall short of our Saint hood from time to time. ♡

[@williambillycraig1057]

@@stefkadank-derpjr1453 Thank you for your rely, it was well written and I think you and I have the same mindset; basically we are on the same team. When we listen to each other we find that we agree on thevast majority of issues with only minor differences. Just imagine if during WWII the Allied forces decided not to work together due to the same kinds of disagreements that Cathorlics and Prodistants fight over. We would be living in a different world now. Imigine if instead n infighting Prodistans and Catholics worked together for the Kingdom of God, we would live in a different world, a better one. Thank you again for your kind words brother and God bless

[@RobertWilke]

I hear you on that. Every once in awhile there will be a slight dig condemning the Protestant Reformation. Yet sounding like they all good. The point of the Reformation was because of the lingering and continuing problems the church had at the time. Since then both sides have made even bigger blunders. Still at the core we believe the same things. That’s the important part. Just as someone else mentioned about getting solace and understanding from a Protestant sermon. I to have had similar experiences going during a mass at St Patrick’s in NYC. I’m an Elder in my church but that doesn’t forbid me from receiving a wonderful message by a Roman Catholic Priest. In the end it’s the message that’s important not the way it comes to us.

Oh yes! The Wycliff Bible translators! I've been blessed to have "joined" a setting that missionaries (Americans) have been involved with that organization, the lady who was a neigbour & heading our Bible study bcame my dear friend! She even gave me a "finished product" of a new testament -- wait, sorry my memory is cloudy, was it 3? -- gospels in the books of Mark, Luke, Mathew...? It was consecutive gospels of the disciples of new testament translated to my Visayan language, the formal language of Hiligaynon (I'm from Bacolod, Negros Occidental, Visayas region in the Philippines, residing in Luzon & I had plenty neighbours who were American missionaries, I've met a few British who were "Navigators" another Christian group) & I am a witness to GOD'S GLORY bcoz I had a first hand experience when I asked GOD for whom was that book for? Bcoz I could read & speak english. Lo & behold!! As time only tells (bcoz GOD IS THE OWNER OF TIME) it turned out to be for an old man in our neighbourhood! In a few years after I was able to give it to him, mind u🙂 he was brought to my doorstep, though my husband & I knew him around the community (ah! Its a rich story to tell how it simply happened) he fell ill & passed away. His wife happened to tell me, when I saw her, how he had been reading it as he was bed ridden befor he passed away. Am sorry, am still geting teary eyed right now, oh glory glory! 😇😭😇 thank u😇 for this opportunity to share this beautiful story.

Ralph hesitated at one point when he was wondering where the "period of peace" promised by Our Lady at Fatima would fit with the apparent end of time events we are living through. I wonder if we have had the period of peace : from 1946 (Hiroshima and Nagasaki) to 2003 (the Iraq war). That covers all my adult life in which I always assumed I was living in peaceful times of progress that included the fall of Communism. There were wars, but everything seemed solvable and we could always rely on the USA...

[@zbom12345]

Ever heard of the Korean and Vietnam war? The Cold War was not a peaceful time

[@davidburtenshaw9423]

There has to be a world-wide illumination of conscience at some future point as an final act of mercy. This has been foretold by various Saints and mystics. A book named 'The Warning' deals with this and I would assume this period of peace would follow

That’s the problem with speculation. Mankind, especially Christians, keep looking to figure everything out instead of focusing on living a life of repentance and holiness to really prepare for the end times.

Great talk and how comes I did not have this on my list of Chanels. We are at the end times and we either all accept it and be alert, pray, be holy, kind, there is zero way out than pray together, beg the lord irrespective of our faith and just pray.

The River Euphrathes has been dry already. Remember Euphrathes first appear in Genesis as one of the four rivers. Jesus is speaking of the Living Water as the Gospel. In Revelation in the New Jerusalem the river that divided the city originates from the Throne of God. In Genesis the river originates in Eden is coming from one headwater. The Headwater is the Gospel and there are four synoptic Gospels . The Euphrathes river drying up means the Gospel has not been preached in the area and East of it thus paving the way for the Battle of Good and Evil. It's the same Battle that Adam and Eve were fighting when they eat the Fruit of Knowledge of Good and Evil. Because of radicalism, these Battle will manifest into the physical world. Thus looking East of the Euphrathes river are billions of souls who haven't heard or understood the Gospel. Indeed the river runs dry in the area. And the best weapon to wield in these Battle is the Holy Rosary which is the Gospel itself woven into prayers in its mysteries.

"... Uganda, billboards, contraception, being influenced by Protestants diluting the faith." Hello Matt, speaking of diluting the Faith and Apostasy. How about the Roman Catholic Bishops, Priests and seminaries? Could you dedicate a future program to this?

Definitely one of the most cringe worthy right-wingnut utterances Matt has made recently . Contraception is not a Protestant plot. In a country stricken by heterosexual transmission of AIDs, it saves lives, saves families.

It's historical context too, Emperor Nero was considered the "Antichrist" when this prophecy was first written. The statistical likelihood of witnessing the literal heat-death of the known universe (caused by the Dragon Ball Z style showdown between Jesus and Satan) happening within the lifespan of the people born in the last 50 years, is still not great betting odds.

@@OpEditorial I lived in France for twenty years, and I lived in the USA for a bit longer... The French are basically secular humanists as a nation. There is a ton of segregation, hatred, jealousy, envy, anger, destruction of property as well as destruction of humans, etc... and the USA is quickly catching up. As for end times, no one will know. the end will come as a thief in the night... it will be as when in the days of Noah, before the flood much eating, drinking, celebrations. marriages before the end... and the end will be rapid according to Daniel 7 years long, but that time will seem unendingly dark and hopeless.... But when that will be? As you said about the Mayans... here's an interesting fact, Jesus is the Messiah, yet some, many, missed him.

[@JB-le4rb]

Yes Nero was the first type of Anti Christ but St. John mentioned there will be many anti Christs. For example there are tribulations in our own lives but John spoke of a Great Tribulation like Daniel a near end times prophet and an end times prophet as the Seal opens up. The Son of perdition or Son of Lawlessness is an individual a political figure as the final false prophet is a religious figure.

Watching from Ireland I am so glad to be part of the Global Catholic family. That was very interesting and informative. At the end of the day Christ and his Church the one true Holy Roman Catholic Apostolic Church is the truth so regardless of when the end times come and Jesus returns we have the truth.

[@alphacentauri2506]

Sometimes I think that the scriptures were altered or misunderstood and it was written that the end will come for each person individually. Everyone expires. So, maybe it was changed just a little to try and make more of an impact and to help control the people. Religion is a form of social control, for the good of course. I mean the scriptures did pass through many hands and was written and rewritten countless times. So maybe that's all the end refers to, our individual end. Just a thought.

[@TotusTuu]

I respect these type of shows; however, too much attention and energy is dedicated on “the end of times” rather than evangelizing and focusing on the gospel. Please provide ideas and ways for people to start converting and preparing for a good confession, how to live Holy Mass, how to properly take Holy Communion, how to pray the Holy Rosary, how to read the Bible, how to consecrate oneself to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, how to do an hour of adoration, how marriages should live and raise good Catholic children, how to live sex life within the marriage, etc; These topics will be of great help rather than instilling fear and creating more anxiety for people. We have so many confusion going on in the world and very little evangelization is happening.

[@angelbonilla4243]

My experience is that too little attention is dedicated to the "end of times" which by the way is very important part of the teachings of the Church since the beggining. To the point that many Catholics do not even know anything about the Second Coming and the Final Judgment and the Final Resurrection; doctrines all mentioned in the Apostolic and Nicene Creeds.

5:40 “tying aid to LGBT agenda, contraception, Etc. Is pretty wicked” True. I’d never seen it this way but that’s what activism is doing in impoverished countries.
