Text Box: Mother Mary was given to us as our mother by Our Saviour as He died on the cross. She loves each of us with the fullness of a mother’s love. Her Son sits on the throne given Him by His and our Father. And as His mother, she is Queen of Heaven and Earth. The Father is Lord of all creation. Christ is King of all creation. It therefore follows that our Mother Mary, is Queen of all creation. But she is not the Eternal Judge. Her Son, Jesus Christ, is the Eternal Judge. And though His mother constantly wins us His help, and though she desires each of us to be eternally happy with Him in Heaven, Christ, the Eternal Judge, will not allow into His Father's house, anyone who dishonors His mother. Saints do not dishonor His mother. Ref: Ecclus. 24:5,7; 9-11, 30-31; Luke 1:26-33 +

And there were others of the Jews of the Exodus for whom these gifts from God were appreciated, but who would rather celebrate the gifts by making a gold idol to represent lustful desires which they could worship, and then have a drunken party. There also were a few who appreciated what God had done for them, and strove to follow God’s instructions. Several thousand years later, in Jerusalem, the city of the Jews and the Jewish Temple, and in the land of the Jews, the situation had not changed. The circumstances of the physical surroundings had changed for the chosen people now had their own lands, a fixed in place temple, and synagogues. But while the circumstances of the physical surroundings had changed, the situation and character of the people had not changed. They were under the control of the Romans, who left them alone as long as commerce was maintained and a proportionate share of the expenses of the empire were paid. But the people, the chosen people, had not changed in their appreciation of God. A few attempted to comprehend God’s prophecies and requests in a spiritual light. But most who contemplated the prophecies about the Messiah anticipated a physical kingdom restoring the glory of the days of Solomon, even though the Messianic prophecies preceded the days of Solomon and all such prophecies were clearly spiritual. Others looked on the Ten Commandments and the Law of Moses as being useful only to the extent they promoted commerce and the accumulation of wealth. Even the Temple itself was used as a means of accumulating wealth. When Christ foretold the destruction of Jerusalem and the disbursement of the Jewish people, He wept at the suffering

Text Box: those people would endure, but He wept more over their ignoring the Will of His Heavenly Father and of His instructions to them which would grant them eternal life. Then He cleaned out of the temple, all those who were abusing it and turning it into a commerce center which fed off of the worship which was supposed to be done. In foretelling the fall of Jerusalem He foretold the fall of all of those for whom God is not important; for those for whom the accumulation of wealth and worldly pleasures is more important than God. And He gave an example of the additional punishment which would befall those who use the Church as a means of accumulating that which does not last:, primarily money wealth and the delights of the flesh. To those of us for whom God is important, even though we only attempt very weakly to follow Him, and even though our successes in following Him are few, it is virtually impossible for us to comprehend that anyone would think God just does not play an important role in someone’s life. It is impossible for us to comprehend the mind which simply ignores God. But if we look closely at the seeming majority of people, it appears that most people simply ignore the straight forward and simple, easy to comprehend and follow instructions which God has given to us. Not the potentially complicated revelations, such as whether Christ has one will or two wills (He has two: one Divine with His Divine Nature, and one human with His human nature), but the simple ones, such as the Golden Rule. What can we do to assist these people to comprehend the importance of having a relationship with God? Is there anything we can do to assist these people into realizing that if they do not make God a significant part of their lives, not only will their eternal future probably not be happy, but the joys of this world which they do experience will not be as full and complete as they
