Greetings unto you all. 

We are back in Winnipeg, after a great encounter with the people of Ontario and Quebec.  The title of this article “A Promise Is Being Kept” but without any set deadline attached to it.  The world was promised that a time of peace would come but no date was set as to when it would be.  Has it come?  Is it here or is it yet to come? 

If you were caught sleeping could you not have missed it already, and yet it was available 2,006 years ago.  Have we missed it?  But if we were sleeping as we say, is it too late? Or how will we know that it’s here?

”Be weary of those who give you specifics of dates and times.  Not even I know,” said the Lord.  Now the Lord that we call God, said, “I don’t know”.  If God doesn’t know, who would?  The definition of “I don’t know” proves that he was sent to live in the same conditions as we do as humans.  Otherwise, he would not know suffering.  So the Father humbled Himself, just like when he created you and me.  He decided to put his best in granting life to the substance that we are, because we are born of flesh.

If you look in the scriptures, not to be religious, because I want to explain this so everyone understands:  the bible is the most accurate confirmation of humanity.  And now we will prove it to you:

When NASA wanted to venture to the moon they had to account backwards in time as far as they could for every second of time, because one second out of the trail could have put them in an orbit where they could never return.  By their computers, they put the human geniuses at work to trace back that there was two hours missing in time.  Now there was a young man who knew the bible pretty well.  And by the way, they also justified through the bible and approved it, that the star of Bethlehem was a constellation that happened at the precise time that Jesus was born.  So now, the mystery is, since the scientists know about constellations, how come they don’t guide us anywhere?  But that one guided three Wiseman.  They were astrologers and they followed the constellation that moved continuously and stopped over Bethlehem.  NASA has confirmed it.

The same young mane remembered that there were two places in the Bible where God had backed up time, to prove his existence.  To make this story shorter, that was the exact time missing tin the search for time and millionths of seconds to have an accuracy that the Bible confirmed.  So it’s not religious, it’s from NASA! 

A promise was made:  how many promises has man made that he never kept?  Because man’s promises always have a time attached to it.  It is usually like: “I will always love you,” knowing that he will die one day, so how could always be?  And if we were to follow the trail of every man, we would know why we lost notion of time into forever. 

“I am with you always.”  He said. “But a little while you see me then you see me no more.”  To simplify this complicated sentence: “When you don’t need me, you can’t see me no more.  And when you do, I’m still there, yet I was always there.”  Isn’t that simple?  So doesn’t that explain why there was no date promised because he’s always there? So we never call on him, so we prolong our own agony, because it’s there and the time is now and forever.

So now, you may say, “Where do we begin?”  But he said, “I am the Alpha and the Omega.” The Alpha is the first letter of the Greek alphabet.  This is why that in the very first day of school, you learn your ABC’s.  A for the start, B for become and C for the future.  So you have three in one.  The present, the past (where you neglected the present) and the future, is yet to see.

Where do we start again?  Why are you reading this?  Everyone is on pins and needles, actually for a long time, as far back as the prophecy of Isaiah.  Now, here’s the question to you: did it happen?  It came and it remained until today, into forever - by free will, so take it or leave it. 

So now if God asked you to tell him when it will happen, because he’s made it available to you, so by your free will, everyday you say “Not yet.”  So how could you ask God when it will happen, when you say ‘Not yet’?  God makes himself obedient to your free will but only one side of your free will, will keep you forever.  And the other one does not shorten eternity but the time that you could have spent into forever, long ago at the foot of the cross.

In the Shroud of Turin that everyone calls “a mystery”, what is a “mystery”?  I used to have arguments with Priests when I was an altar boy that I didn’t want nothing to do with mysteries.  How could I have something to do with things I don’t know, that I don’t understand?  And I used to say: “If God created me to his own image and resemblance, well then let him teach me how to be like him.”  And one day he said: “I did.  It’s all written the bible.”  Then the words vanished from a theatrical way, perhaps like Shakespeare, that it moves you until the next play.  The way of the cross is not a play, but when we follow it in the Churches or on Good Friday by obligation, it is then that we watch the same movie over and over again.  But instead of movie, it should be: “Move…eh?”  because it’s real.

So as the title says, the promise remains to this day.  Its importance to you will determine the time that it will come true.  He never lied.  He laid down his life.  He didn’t lie down like we do, dormant or neglecting our duties.  So today, as you read this is today the day?  Everyone is waiting for the great sign in the sky.  Wasn’t ascension a sign that has remained with you?  It’s like the Cross becoming a flying object in the sky.  We seem to remember the Cross - more than the victim upon earth.  We plant crosses all over the world like the Romans did in Jerusalem, as a deterrent to disobedience.  In Jerusalem all the wood of Lebanon had been cut down by the Romans to bring to Jerusalem where there were thousands of crosses all over, almost like a police man at every street corner and just there.  He dared for you and me.  It did happen, so that you could make it happen because of the cross but not going to the cross yourself, because of his guidance through every second of your life since you measure time.  But when you have faith you have no fear because he’s always there.

So you understand today all of those of you preparing mountains of food that sharing with others, the poor and the needy that very food, would be the meaning of every messages from above, always the bottom line that no one reads.  “Never the less, if you change, all these things could be avoided.”  Tell me, which of the two will happen?  Peace on earth or being caught sleeping in your waging wars, hatred and living by limitation, by selfishness and greed?  You are the opens putting on hold this promise that still holds to the cross.

God bless you in wisdom and a quotation from the Bible that: fear of the Lord is the beginning of Wisdom.  When you fear making mistakes to be right with God, that’s when you ask, not yourself, but God.  You could even tell yourself, “How would he do this?”  The answer would always be: “With love”.  It’s that simple.

In his making the scripture as fragmented as possible, he closed the scrolls and said: “As I have loved you, love one another.  That’s everything that is written in here.”  Simple, isn’t it?  So now he sends us throughout nations, not to preach the Gospel, but to welcome the world to your own heart, shelter of his.  You are but the nest and he is the life within. 

God bless you and I hope that the Easter’s nest gives you more than chocolate life.  Because for Easter we could say “How sweet it is!”  God bless.
