There is
no more plain historical
narrative and chronicle than the first five books of the Bible, the Pentateuch,
the foundational books of the history of the human race, especially the first
three chapters of Genesis. At the same time, there could be nothing more
enigmatically symbolic than the Book of the Apocalypse, the last book of the Bible. This is the consensus of
Tradition. Also, at the same time, the experts are divided on the
Scriptural interpretation of certain passages in St. Paul, concerning the time of the appearance and defeat
of the Anti-Christ: Whether he will come before,
or after, the period of peace and
restoration of the Church. (See Father Charles Arminjon) - The End of the
Present World, originally published in 1881 and newly translated in 2008 and
published by Sophia Institute Press. See pages 56-68.
When the
experts disagree, who are we to dogmatize? At the same time, what can be
more striking than the Marian identity of the Woman in Genesis 3:15 and
Apocalypse 12? And finally, what can be more terrifying than the contrast
of the man, Adam, made in the image and likeness of the infinitely good and
gracious Creator-God and that image of the Beast into which the Second Beast
breathes his own hellish life – in Satanic mockery of that divine life of
sanctifying grace described in Genesis 1:26 and Genesis 2:7. Apocalypse
12 and 13 tell us in deeply symbolical images, the last chapters of that
eternal enmity between Lucifer and the Woman with Her Son set up in Genesis
3:15. The battle lines are clearly drawn between the two camps.
Apostles of Truth in the Last Days will also be Apostles of Mary and Apostles
of Creation.
How
could it be otherwise, when the synthesis of all heresies, which is
evolutionary modernism, is also the very head of the Serpent, which Our Lady will crush in Her Assigned Role
as the Immaculate Heart, to rule alongside
that of Her Divine Son. And She knows all things in the knowledge of God,
Her Divine Son. So we can certainly confide all things to Her with
perfect trust.
