Thank you Maritza for posting this tribute to a brave Christian and a brave Chaldean, that is, a brave Iraqi. He was brave in the face of the Antichrist persecution against Christians and Muslims. Antichrist (the Dajjal) is specifically a collective term which is the "Beast" and also a singular term which is the individual Antichrist at the end of the eschaton. The Beast has many heads down through the centuries until the Second coming of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, the Parousia.That Antichrist is of course the Zionists and the American neo-Fascists and Iranian Shiite Militias (and the Iranian anti-Muslim attempt to revive the pagan Persian religions and "culture" - Pagan Persian religions and "culture" are specifically a head of the "Beast" which is the empire of the Antichrist).

Slightly edited excerpt from a letter.

Saddam Hussein, with his last words praising Allah and standing by Iraq and declaring the rights of the Palestinians, died as a martyr to God. The reasons here for his being a martyr to God are, number one, his steadfast adherence to belief in God and number two his steadfast care for Iraq, the country God gave him to care for as its ruler, and number three, his solidarity with the Palestinians in that specific sense.

The Nakba is the beginning of the Antichrist or Dajjal (Zionists and their lackeys, the U.S. and Iran etc.) persecution against all of mankind from their stolen base of empire building, namely Occupied Palestine. Iraq (especially Saddam and the Resistance) is the first among countries that bravely withstands the persecution of the Antichrist. The media blackout in the west and especially America is total. Without satellite feeds ... to television here and radio ... including especially shortwave, and currently in the 21st century the Internet (Uruk and some others), and especially wonderful, gentle, caring, beautiful, elegant people who tell the truth, ...there would be no telling of the truth. That is what Palestine Cry is all about. By the way, I know Chaldeans here and these words resonate with theirs.

When I bring up the Antichrist, I do so, NOT in a defeatist manner, but meaning we know who we fight against - we fight against the Zionists and their puppets etc.. My view is basically typological. The difference between right and wrong. I fight to help those who are being hurt and to win.

God bless you all who fight this fight in everything in every way,

Steve

Christ is the Crocus of Eternal and New Life

Christ is the Crocus of Eternal and New Life

The Chinese use plants: bamboo, plum blossoms, chrysanthemums and the orchid as symbols which speak about life and virtue.

The significance of the plum blossom runs deep in Chinese history - it signifies feminine beauty and the ideal of chosen seclusion and moral rectitude.
The story is told that Meifei had become the favorite concubine of the Emperor. She surrounded herself with plum blossom trees and at blooming time lingered among them into the night. Meifei was retiring, cultivated and compliant. In time, she lost favor with the Emperor to Yang Gifei who was aggressive, vulgar, vindictive and shrewd.

Now Meifei spent her lonely hours writing about plum blossoms, comparing her fleeting happiness to the short life of the plum petals that soon fell to the ground. At her death, she was buried beneath the flowering plums, and so, the plum tree came to symbolize feminine inner beauty of soul.
In the Song Period, the plum became an enduring emblem of the high minded scholar. Li Bu lived a life of modest retirement on Gushan ("Lone Mountain"). He devoted himself to calligraphy, poetry, planting plum trees and raising cranes. Although he was poor, he did not seek fame. He never married and so the people said the flowering plum was his wife and cranes his children and so, the flowering plum became associated with chosen seclusion and moral pre-eminence.

Also, note that what is sometimes called the Lotus flower is actually the Crocus and in the ancient world a symbol of the Resurrection (not reincarnation). The crocus we refer to here are the ones growing from earth (not swamps like reincarnation lotuses) especially the snow crocus for its early bloom while snow is on the ground. Jesus Christ is the First born of Mary (the blessed virgin who is the Christmas rose of pure white), He is also the First born from the dead in the flesh – the first one resurrected – who will resurrect us. The snow crocus is deep blue just like the traditional color associated with nativity scenes.

"All Wisdom comes from the LORD...
He poured it forth upon all his creatures." (Sir 1:1,8)
Mary is the spikenard (fragrance of incense before the Lord) of whom was the Christ, Who is the Word Wisdom and Power of the Father in the Unity and Power and Bond of love of the Holy Spirit, may the Holy Trinity especially by the prayer of Mary bless you.

Christ and Mary Magdalene at the Resurrection of Jesus Christ

Have a Blessed and Holy Easter Sunday


Mt:28:
1 ¶ And in the end of the sabbath, when it began to dawn towards the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalen and the other Mary, to see the sepulchre.
2 And behold there was a great earthquake. For an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and coming rolled back the stone and sat upon it.
3 And his countenance was as lightning and his raiment as snow.
4 And for fear of him, the guards were struck with terror and became as dead men.
5 And the angel answering, said to the women: Fear not you: for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified.
6 He is not here. For he is risen, as he said. Come, and see the place where the Lord was laid.
7 And going quickly, tell ye his disciples that he is risen. And behold he will go before you into Galilee. There you shall see him. Lo, I have foretold it to you.
8 And they went out quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy, running to tell his disciples.
9 And behold, Jesus met them, saying: All hail. But they came up and took hold of his feet and adored him.
10 Then Jesus said to them: Fear not. Go, tell my brethren that they go into Galilee. There they shall see me.
11 ¶ Who when they were departed, behold, some of the guards came into the city and told the chief priests all things that had been done.
12 And they being assembled together with the ancients, taking counsel, gave a great sum of money to the soldiers,
13 Saying: Say you, His disciples came by night and stole him away when we were asleep.
14 And if the governor shall hear of this, we will persuade him and secure you.
15 So they taking the money, did as they were taught: and this word was spread abroad among the Jews even unto this day.
16 ¶ And the eleven disciples went into Galilee, unto the mountain where Jesus had appointed them.
17 And seeing him they adored: but some doubted.
18 And Jesus coming, spoke to them, saying: All power is given to me in heaven and in earth.
19 Going therefore, teach ye all nations: baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost.
20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you. And behold I am with you all days, even to the consummation of the world.

Evening Prayer


FOUNTAIN of light, thyself the light unending, Lord, hear our prayer and, cleansing us from evil, Take away darkness; let thy holy radiance Shine on thy servants.

Now and at the evening which brings the end of labour, Lord, who hast kept us safe in thy protection, Grateful we offer thee our thanks and worship.

Since then the daylight fades into the darkness, let that sun light us which enlightens always choirs of angels in thy holy presence, light never failing.

From all the sins which we this day committed cleanse thou our conscience, Christ our Lord and Saviour;

So in the night time we may rest uninjured, Safe in thy friendship.

Six days we labour, working as thou willest; Then on the seventh resting by thine order, We look to that day which at last shall bring us, rest everlasting.


KINDLY light of glory, fount of light from light, blessed Jesus, coming from the Father in heaven,

2. The bright rays of day, the light of the sun fade; and we at the morning and evening hour confess thee with our hymn.

3. We praise the one God, almighty Father, Son and Holy Spirit the comforter, in the glory of the Trinity.

4. Son of God, worthy to be glorified at all times by pure tongues, giver of life, all ages proclaim thee.


To thee praise, to thee a hymn

is due; to thee glory, God the

Father and Son with the Holy Spirit,

for ever and ever. Amen.
