Jesus said: “My people, in the readings you are seeing the themes of joy and peace that I would like to see all over the earth. If all of you could live My Christmas message of peace, there would be no wars. Think of your own families and how you could heal any grudges or disagreements, so you all could truly be a loving family. Many of your jealousies or greed for things can get in the way of love for one another. Make an effort this Christmas to heal any anger that could cause ill will or separations. If you can achieve peace and love in your families, then you could more easily achieve peace among your nations. By trying to be peacemakers in your families and between nations, you can truly work toward imitating the harmony that I have created in nature. It is man’s wrong choices that have broken up families and have caused wars among nations. Work to restore love between everyone, and you truly will be working to restore peace all over the world.”

Jesus said: “My people, the account of My birth in Bethlehem talks about a stable scene when we were refused places at the inn. Those, who have traveled to Bethlehem, know that this place for the animals was really located in a cave where there was hay in the creche. This coming to Bethlehem was all started by a decree of Caesar and the Romans which demanded that everyone had to be registered with their original tribe. Bethlehem was the house of David and where St. Joseph and My Blessed Mother had to register. Even now in the coming time of tribulation, My faithful remnant will have to seek out places of refuge of My Blessed Mother’s apparitions, places of holy ground, and places of caves for protection from your government authorities. Your government will soon demand that you will need microchips in your driver’s licenses and in your passports. Eventually, if you do not take chips in your bodies, the authorities will try to kill you in detention death camps. This is why you will need to seek My refuges of protection even in caves, as we had to hide from Herod in Egypt.”

Jesus said: “My people, it is a good gesture to buy gifts for your family and friends, but it is over done when you spend more than your family budget can afford. Many go into debt to pay for their Christmas spending spree. Your focus should be on giving Me praise and glory, and wishing people a ‘Merry Christmas’ instead of happy holidays. It is sad when your shopkeepers are instructed not to mention ‘Christmas’, and they make their biggest profits on this day. Do not praise the gods of the mall and the things of the world. Only I am worthy of your praise and Adoration. These gifts will soon be forgotten, but I will always be present before you as your loving God. Love for Me should come before all the glitter of this temporary world.”

Jesus said: “My people, this vision of being turned upside down is exactly what is going to be happening to your world as you know it. There will be more unusual and record breaking natural disasters that will include earthquakes, storms, volcanoes, and tsunamis. In addition to these natural order events there will also be major upheavals in the governments of your nations all over the world. Microchips will be more widely implemented in an attempt to control people’s minds. When these events will cause martial law, you will need to be ready to go to My refuges of protection. As these events get closer, I will be giving you more specific information about your preparations. Let this be a warning to you that the serious events are about to occur with a faster frequency. Have no fear of these events because I will give you the strength and protection to endure them.”
Jesus said: “My people, I have warned you before to have some alternate sources of heating your houses ready in case of power outages in the winter. This could involve wood fires, kerosene burners, or propane burners for cooking and heating. The vision of a wood fire also came with a concern for where to store all of the ashes from your wood burning. In other words it would be wise to be prepared for enough fuel in case your power outages could go into months before electricity could be restored. You also should have oil in your lamps for light, or mechanically powered flashlights. Batteries will only last a short time, so reusable devices will be more useful. Your natural gas burners usually require electricity to operate, so getting heat from a line without using electricity may be another option if gas is still available. You have seen how vulnerable you are in winter with your ice storms. So be prepared for these events happening again because the one world people know how to cause these storms, and can turn off your power to control you. With My grace and blessings I could even multiply your fuel in a long power outage. Trust in My help, but make sure your alternative heating means are in working order.”

Jesus said: “My people, I had prepared My Blessed Mother for many years to be without sin at conception, and she abided by My Will to continue her purity to and beyond the time of My birth. In this way My Body was always in a pure and sinless environment until My birth. My Blessed Mother was the first tabernacle for her Lord, even as you are tabernacles briefly after you receive Me in Holy Communion. There are many things that you do around Christmas in preparing gifts, decorations, and meals for this holiday season. But beside all of these distractions, you should be most focused on My coming into the world as a means for your spiritual salvation. My becoming a man as the Second Person of the Blessed Trinity, shows you how much I love all of you to lower Myself to your level, and later die for all of your sins. This is a blessing beyond all proportions that your little minds can hardly understand. Give praise and thanks to your Lord as you commemorate My Incarnation as a man at Christmas.”
Prayer Group:
Jesus said: “My people, this truly is a Marian Shrine in Betania and My Blessed Mother and Maria Esperanza still visit this shrine, and are giving messages to two of the daughters. Many are curious of the messages received there, but they are private for the family in directing their operations of the shrine grounds and the new retreat houses for the pilgrims. Pray for them to be able to carry out the work that heaven is directing them to do.”
Jesus said: “My people, you all want to honor Me with your gifts at My crib, and the flowers around My altar. Just as the shepherds came with their sheep, and the Magi with their gifts, so you feel drawn to My love on Christmas, and to share My peace with everyone. Christmas time is to be shared with your family and those that you meet on the streets. Love needs to be shared with others and it cannot be put under a bushel basket, just as you share light in a house.”
Jesus said: “My people, in some areas of your country there are plenty of lakes for drinking water, but other areas are experiencing droughts and fires. Your weather conditions are showing higher than normal snowfalls in the North and less rain in other areas. Still the ice storms and violent winds have been unusual for this time of year. Pray that you will find protection for storms and enough food for any power outages.”
Jesus said: “My people, you are already seeing Christians being persecuted for their faith in Moslem and communist countries. Be alert because you will see more of the same in America and elsewhere as evil will be spread all over the world during the tribulation. Pray for My help to stand up to these evil ones so you may keep your faith strong, even when your life is threatened.”
Jesus said: “My people, on every great feast day heaven exults in prayer and singing to add to the celebrations on earth. Remember that heaven is watching all of your actions and your feast celebrations as well. Take time to meditate on your Advent Readings as they have a deeper meaning for your preparations for when I will return in glory.”
Jesus said: “My people, even as you make preparations for Christmas in your decorations and gifts, others are preparing refuges for the time of the tribulation. See how rapidly these old resort dwellings were renovated for the coming trials of evil. In the Exodus there was a sense of haste to leave Egypt for the Promised Land. Now in your modern Exodus there is another sense of haste to have your refuges prepared in time for the coming reign of evil. My angels will protect you at My refuges, and they will provide for all of your needs. So have no fear of this time.”
Jesus said: “My people, take a lesson from My Blessed Mother when she freely went over hard terrain to help her kinswoman, St. Elizabeth, even when she herself was pregnant. At every opportunity reach out to help your neighbor in need with joy, and do not complain of any inconvenience to your time. Christmas is a time of joy and peace, and you should be willing to share what you have with others both in time and money.”

Jesus said: “My people, in this vision you can see how beautiful your planet appears in shades of blue color. It is sad that mankind is slowly upsetting the delicate balance of nature with your water and air pollution. Global warming is just one facet of nature, but mankind is also destroying the marine life balance as well. Coral reefs are being destroyed and the fishing banks are being over fished so they are hard to replenish. If man does not stop destroying his environment by clearing rainforests and burning too many fossil fuels, then I will have to intervene to restore the necessary balance of nature to its former purity. Man has been delving into cloning and DNA manipulation where he should not be changing nature that was already perfect. Pray that mankind will make more sincere efforts to repair the damage that he has done, so he can hand over a better world to the next generation.”

Jesus said: “My people, this message today is all about new birth in both the readings and the birth of the new Era of Peace. The first reading spoke of an unusual birth of Samson, and the second reading of a miraculous birth of St. John the Baptist when his parents were beyond normal child bearing age. This is a foreshadowing of My own birth which was another miraculous birth from a virgin by the power of the Holy Spirit. My birth was a fulfillment of the Scriptures from Ahaz that a virgin would give birth to a son who would be called Emmanuel. (Isaiah 7:10-14) You are all preparing even now for the feast of My birth on Christmas. This is a joyous time of My peace, even among your premeditated wars of the rich. The evil ones will have a short reign of evil, but I will come and destroy them all and cast them into hell. Then I will renew the earth and bring about My true peace in the Era of Peace. It will be at that time that I will bring down the New Jerusalem on earth. This vision of a beautiful glowing city shows the Light of the city in all of its glory, even during the night time. Rejoice at this feast of Christmas and My New Jerusalem that will usher in My Era of Peace.”

Jesus said: “My people, My dear St. Joseph was tested with My Blessed Mother’s pregnancy by the power of the Holy Spirit. He was in a quandary as to whether or not to divorce his wife because of the Jewish laws of the time. But he did not want to put My Blessed Mother at risk to stoning, so he intended to divorce her quietly. Once an angel warned him that this child, being Me, was conceived by the Holy Spirit, St. Joseph did take Mary to be his wife into his home. The vision shows a picture of his woodwork as a carpenter. My Blessed Mother took a step in faith to accept the consequences of having Me conceived at the word of St. Gabriel. This was the risk that she took to have a child out of wedlock, but St. Joseph protected her from any shame or the law. St. Joseph was always taken back that he was not My true father, but he brought Me up as his true son in teaching Me carpentry. Many times there are trials with children conceived out of wedlock, but not as My Blessed Mother had conceived. Pray for these couples for their sins to be forgiven, and where possible that they could be married.”
Jesus said: “My people, there is still a communist curtain around communist China, and there is still slave labor being used to manufacture their exports at a cheap price. The flood of water represents a flood of exports leaving China and a flood of imports coming into America. Many of your American corporate leaders have little sympathy for the human abuses of the poor to reduce them to slaves. All they want is cheap labor so they can lower their costs and make more money, even at the expense of lost American jobs to overseas countries. These same employers are lowering American wages, benefits, and eliminating pensions. In lowering salaries these greedy employers are lowering the average standard of living of all of their workers. These same employers desire more work from their employees for less pay. Because of this unjust exploitation of workers, these employers will have to suffer dearly for their greed for more money. China is benefitting from their surplus trade, and your technical know-how to build their war machine. America is becoming too dependent on foreign goods and foreign oil because of your greedy corporations, and this could be the beginning of your downfall. Trust in Me to lead you on the right path in your spiritual life so you can be less drawn to the things of this world. Focus on Me and have no other gods before Me.”

Jesus said: “My people, these different intensities of Light, as chandeliers in the vision, represent various souls rising to heaven. The intensities of Light are appropriate for the souls going to the different levels in heaven. The brighter and larger lights were going to the higher levels of heaven. More souls go to heaven on the feast days of My Blessed Mother, and the most souls go to heaven on Christmas Day. Continue to pray for the souls in purgatory so they can be released sooner, and they can pray for you in return. My love reaches out to every soul, but My justice demands reparation for your sins.”
Ed said: “I want to thank John and Carol for your wonderful friendship at this same Adoration Chapel, and it is fitting to be here on my funeral day. I love my wife, family, and all my friends who came to my funeral. I was very touched by their friendship also. Please pray for me because I only need a few Masses to be in heaven as one of these bright souls that you saw earlier.”

Jesus said: “My people, this is joy Sunday on the Third Sunday of Advent. It is why you are seeing these joyful celebrations in the vision. There is joy all over the world as the earth prepares to celebrate My coming as your Redeemer at Christmas. Today you start to see more readings about St. John the Baptist as he prepares the way for My coming. He prepared the people as a voice in the desert who preached repentance and a change of life for the better. Even as you prepare to celebrate My coming at Christmas, you also need to listen to My prophets of today who are also preaching repentance in preparation for when I come again. The circular signs in the vision are pointing toward the Warning and how to prepare for the coming tribulation. After I vanquish the evil ones, you will see My Era of Peace. So rejoice in My coming at Christmas and at My Era of Peace.”
