Sword-Bishop – His Personal Development
«Prophetic References to the Sword-Bishop
CHRIST is present in the office of Apostle through His vicar, and in a
certain sense He is also present through the gift of prophecy by choosing
people who count as nothing for the world, but are instruments in His
hand. To the Apostles, and thus to the hierarchy, He spoke: „Whatever
you bind on earth will also be bound in heaven.“ (Mt. 18,18) But He lets
the Prophet say: „Thus says the LORD.“
There is a prophetic vision, foretold by St Louis-Marie Grignion de
Montfort, which can be applied to the Sword-Bishop: „It is the peaceful
flocks of sheep that must be gathered from amongst the wolves.“ That
is his mission. That is the mystery of the renewal of the Church, the reju-
venation of the Church, of the very Church that is so divided in our
days. That is the mystery before the coming of the HOLY SPIRIT. It has
not only been announced by St Grignion de Montfort, but also by the
apparition in La Salette as well as in a great number of prophecies.
It is becoming clearer and clearer that the good fruit and the tares can
no longer work together, and that the harvest is at hand and the great
sifting. So it is also evident that the time is meant when GOD will
separate the spirits by the double-edged sword from His mouth.
It is necessary for CHRIST to separate the sheep from the goats, in other
words, His little flock from the whore of Babylon (reference to the chapters:
Rev. 18,4; 1,16; 19,15; Eph. 6,17; Heb. 4,12). Let us read in particular the ter-
rible chapter 34 of the Prophet Ezekiel, as well as chapters 10 and
23-31.
„He will remove the flock from its shepherd.“
„In this flock he will separate the wicked from the good.“
„Directed to all: He is God and will change everything for the better.“
Just as CHRIST raised His body, killed on the Cross, back to a new life,
glorious and transfigured by the HOLY SPIRIT, so He will fashion the
ruins of His Church, devastated by Babylon, into a new Church, en-
lightened by a very intimate relationship with her LORD, clothed with
His sun, and totally permeated and transfigured by the HOLY SPIRIT.
