Did God Just Light the Furnace?

Since one of my last blog posts was published 'The Lord Says: Look to the Sky for the Signs of the Times' I've received a request wondering if I've noticed anything in the skies recently.

In a nutshell, yes.

Before I continue, let me recap about the topic of that other blog post.

According to Bl. Catherine Emmerich and her remarkable visions of Biblical history, God gave certain individuals the gift to be able to read the signs of the time in the stars, namely, the Three Kings. 

 Not only could they see the events leading up to Christ's birth, but according to Bl Catherine Emmerich they could tell what events were happening in the world in kingdoms far away by reading the movements of the stars.

Bl. Emmerich also said this gift was given to Abraham and to Job of the Old Testament, which explains why there are so many references to the constellations in the Book of Job.   In fact, she said the Three Wise Men were descendants of Job, which is why they knew how to read the stars. The skill was passed down through the generations and eventually it passed to them.

Now, this is not astrology, i.e. occult fortune telling, but this is God's astronomy as the Bible says He created the stars, sun and moon for us so we could discern signs as well as the seasons.

If God gave the Three Kings the ability to read other events and not just Christ's birth, it is logical to assume the stars continue to tell us what is happening now with regards to God's plans for the earth – He wants us warned, especially as many constellations are also hidden in the Book of the Apocalypse.

Of course, we could botch things while attempting to see the signs of the times from the skies, none of us are the Three Kings – but sometimes things are just too 'in your face' so to speak that it begs risking an attempt.

My past post on the 'Signs of the Times' was an explanation of how God may be showing us He could be preparing the way for His Great Catholic Monarch to come who has been foretold in prophecies for centuries, (click here).

Now, another stellar event or two seems to show us this is happening as well, that things may be moving ahead to the next phase.

The one sky event that caught my attention in November 2019 was the announcement of the biggest ever gamma energy and light explosion discovered by scientists – they declare it was one of the biggest blasts of energy detected by humans other than what they surmise was the energy spent at the Big Bang, and that this latest blast was recorded as far back as January 14, 2019, (but of course didn't tell us ignorant peasants until that November.) (Click here for source.)

Hardly a peep from the media about this since it went public, unlike the reports of near earth asteroids whizzing past us, but this thing is important, or at least I think so.

Of interest, major discoveries in the sky and where they are found are signs in themselves.

Guess where this gigantic blast was located? 

Near the Fornax constellation – 'The Furnace' pictured here to the right.

It doesn't look like much, but this little wood stove contraption holds quite a symbolical punch when you get into it.

Whether or not you believe in the Big Bang theory, God producing Everything from Nothing certainly took a lot of creative energy, even the Bible said God worked and eventually rested.

Of course, God does not have the same kind of physically exhaustion as we do, but these phrases show God, the Great I Am and Ancient of Days, certainly spent Himself to a considerable degree if He is described as having 'worked' and went to rest. God always puts His best into everything and keeps nothing back. He even produced the best wine for the wedding of Cana, so a lot of energy obviously went into Creation itself!

I do think there must be some form of evidence showing this massive energy exertion in the physical realm of things, just like when you see what goes into an artist's masterpiece simply by looking at the state of his workshop.

Weak analogy, but you get the gist.

The Big Bang, without scientists knowing or wanting to admit it, is an affirmation of the Bible phrase GOD WORKED, and He put some effort into it! But of course, the theory was put forward by a Catholic priest after all, Georges Henri Joseph Édouard Lemaître (1894-1966).

So now we see one of the biggest mega gamma ray blasts in human history since the time of what scientists believe was the Big Bang? And in the Furnace constellation?

Wow.

God must be at work again and setting something in motion.

Or, trying to get our attention.

Look at the Bible references for a “furnace”, (Douay-Rheims edition):

*) The Just are tried like the potter's vessels in a furnace:

"The furnace trieth the potter's vessels, and the trial of affliction just men."
(Ecclesiasticus (Sirach) 27:6)

*) Cleansing and trying hearts:

"As silver is tried by fire, and gold in the furnace: so the Lord trieth the hearts."(Proverbs 17:3)

*) A Cleansing purifying test of humility:

"For gold and silver are tried in the fire, but acceptable men in the furnace of humiliation."
(Ecclesiasticus (Sirach) 2:5)

"As silver is tried in the fining-pot and gold in the furnace: so a man is tried by the mouth of him that praiseth. (i.e. can the man remain humble when tempted by the praise of others). The heart of the wicked seeketh after evils, but the righteous heart seeketh after knowledge." (Proverbs 27:21)

*) Poverty is also used by God as a cleansing furnace of tribulation:

"Behold I have refined thee, but not as silver, I have chosen thee in the furnace of poverty."
(Isaias (Isaiah) 48:10)

As we see God prepares by trying and cleansing us through 'furnaces', and prepares clean ground by tribulations, aka chastisements, and also poverty, humility and humiliation.

And, the even destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah is described the work or in terms of a furnace:

“He looked towards Sodom and Gomorrah, and the whole land of that country: and he saw the ashes rise up from the earth as the smoke of a furnace." (Genesis 19:28)

God sends literal fire from the skies when needed.

(Image: "Lot and His Daughters Leaving Sodom", Daniel van Heil, 1604-1664)

According to several mystics, and also several passages in the Bible, God is preparing to send Three Days of Darkness that will at last cleanse the earth that has grown as corrupt as Sodom and Gomorrah.

It will literally be heaven-fire falling from the sky to where the angels will be dismayed and those who survive will envy the dead. (Click here for 'Where is that in the Bible?').

This fire is to cleanse the earth of all Masonic democratic republics and make way for the reign of the Great Catholic Monarch and Angelic Pontiff destined to restore Christianity through the absolute monarchy of France. (See all the major prophecies here.)

Of interest the prophecies of Malachais of the Old Testament refer to the fire of a furnace falling and destroying the wicked, the day of the Lord, upon which the Sun of Justice will come with his wings –

"For behold the day shall come kindled as a furnace: and all the proud, and all that do wickedly shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall set them on fire, saith the Lord of hosts, it shall not leave them root, nor branch. But unto you that fear my name, the Sun of justice shall arise, and health in his wings: and you shall go forth, and shall leap like calves of the herd . And you shall tread down the wicked when they shall be ashes under the sole of your feet in the day that I do this, saith the Lord of hosts. Remember the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded him in Horeb for all Israel, the precepts, and judgments. (Malachais 4:1-3)

Yes, of course this a prophecy of the Second Coming of Christ with the hosts of angels, but the “Sun of Justice” may also double as another prophecy of the Great Catholic Monarch. Prophecies often fulfil two events at once in the Bible.

Recall my last post about the apocalyptic Woman Clothed with the Sun and the crown of 12 stars, a big event was seen in 2016 as Virgo was crowned with 12 stars, and gave birth to a 'king' symbolised by Jupiter, but he was seen to be a king of iron, just like the Woman gave birth to a child that would rule the nations with a rod of iron – a symbol of the Great Monarch being a king of cleansing war and a 'child of exile'. (Click here for that blog post.)

In the ancient days, the constellation Virgo was also known as the goddess Justice by the Romans and Greeks when she was holding the scales of the constellation Libra.  Justice was also gifted with prophecy, wisdom and foresight. So if we remove the Greek mythology element the Sun of Justice, may also refer to the Woman clothed with Sun and crowned with 12 Stars giving birth to a King of Iron who will also be a King of Justice.

Another point to note - the Furnace constellation is a rather recent addition to the Western system of naming constellations – this previously constellation had no name as it is in the south below the horizon and not visible to Europe. It was added in 1756 by the French deacon and astronomer Nicolas Louis de Lacaille (1713-1762), pictured below.

Fornax was originally called the 'Chemical Furnace' – basically, an ALCHEMY FURNACE, a furnace used in experiments to discover how to turn base metal into the pure gold of wisdom.

Interesting this constellation was named about in the “Enlightenment period” and about 40 years before the Masonic French revolution broke out. Freemasons have quite an amount of alchemical philosophy in their rites and gnostic thinking. But, as we see from the Bible God has His own refining furnaces to purify gold and iron.

The Hebrews were tried by a long captivity of slavery in pagan Egypt, but God describes this as a furnace of iron that tried them, and at last sent them a Deliverer – Moses. We are told to 'remember Moses' in the prophecy of Malachais above when the day of fire comes, and here were have the symbol of a furnace of IRON again – Egypt where the Hebrews were tried as if in a furnace of iron by slavery:

"But the Lord hath taken you and brought you out of the iron furnace of Egypt, to make you his people of inheritance, as it is this present day."   (Deuteronomy 4:20)

"For they are thy people, and thy inheritance, whom thou hast brought out of the land of Egypt, from the midst of the furnace of iron."   (3 Kings (1 Kings) 8:51)

(Image: ancient method of iron smelting.)

Moses, the Great Deliverer, led the Jews out from pagan Egypt, after Egypt was sent several plagues, which included Three Days of Darkness.

Of interest, the Freemasons are all rapt up in pagan Egyptian philosophy and symbolism – and we have been subject and even made slaves to it to a certain extent with all their inroads since the French Revolution.  One mystic named Marie-Julie Jahenny (1850-1941) was told France would pay for its 200 years of atheistic form of government from that time, for the democracy it spewed forth was from Hell itself. (See the prophecy here.)

Even Bl. Pope Pius IX (1792-1878) cryptically and prophetically hinted in his speeches and sermons that God often raises up deliverers when the Church was troubled, warned those revolutionaries who were attacking the Church not to wait for conversion lest God raise up a new deliverer, like the Moses of old who delivered His people from pagan Egypt!

March 3, 1872 , Pius IX's Address to Romans in different parishes: “Make them understand (to those who are at the head of the people) (O my Jesus!) The danger to which they are exposed, and that they do not wait for another Moses who could make them be swallowed up in the passage of another Red Sea." (M. Chabuty, pp. 35-36. His source, R. P. Pasquale de Franciscis, “Discours de Notre Très-Saint-Pere le Pape Pie IX” , Vol., I 1873.)

April 28, 1872 ~ Bl Pius IX's Address to Romans from several parishes: “How pitiful are those who make a pact with the Revolution! They want to play with the Revolution, and the Revolution will engulf them in its abysses ..... They are those who govern, and who believe they can put out the fire of the Revolution by approaching it closely, without noticing that they are themselves affected by a fire which threatens to burn down the whole earth, and whose warning signs are already being felt.” (M. Chabuty, p 34. His source, R. P. Pasquale de Franciscis, “Discours de Notre Très-Saint-Pere le Pape Pie IX” , Vol., I 1873.)

January 1, 1873 – Bl. Pius IX's Address to the Palatine Guard: “Something similar is happening today (in the world) (as to what happened in the cities of the Pentapolis * before they were consumed "by the fire of the sky"): very great misfortunes threaten the world. Europe, Italy, Rome and many followers rejoice and dance on a ground full of danger. " (M. Chabuty, p. 35. His source, Univers et Monde, Jan. 4, 1873) (*) NOTE: it appears Bl Pius IX was cryptically referencing the evils of the world were similar to the times of Sodom and was possibly afraid of FIRE FALLING FROM THE SKY? - “Pentapolis” is a reference to a passage in the book of Wisdom mentioning the five cities destroyed by fire from the sky and Sodom Gomorrah were among them. “She (wisdom) delivered the just man (i.e Lot) who fled from the wicked that were perishing, when the fire came down upon Pentapolis: Whose land for a testimony of their wickedness is desolate, and smoketh to this day, and the trees bear fruits that ripen not, and a standing pillar of salt is a monument of an incredulous soul.” (Wisdom 10: 6-7)

October 2, 1872 – Bl. Pius IX's Address to the Youth of Rome: “We hope that, like the Hebrews who arrived safe and sound at the end, we will be able, after having miraculously crossed these times of persecution, to sing like Moses: Cantemus Domino, gloriose enim magnificatus est: equum et ascensorem projecit in mare.” (Let us sing to the Lord: for he is gloriously magnified, the horse and the rider he hath thrown into the sea. ) (M. Chabuty, p. 38. His source, Univers et Monde, Oct. 7, 1872) (NOTE: compare with the Address of March 3, 1872 above – again, it almost sounds as if Bl. Pius IX was hoping for a 'great leader' like Moses who would deliver the Church.)

THE INTERESTING PART: Bl. Pope Pius IX recevied the first original versions of the Secrets of the apparition of Our Lady of La Salette in 1851 from the seers Maximin Giraud and Mélanie Calvat - these original secrets were rediscovered in the Vatican Archives in 1999 and republished: Mélanie's original secret MENTIONS A KING WILL ONE DAY RISE TO THE THRONE amidst a period of disorders in the world and the Church AND BRING A TIME OF PEACE BEFORE THE RISE OF THE ANTICHRIST.  It is obvious Bl Pius IX's prophetic sermons were inspired by the Secrets.  (For the story of La Salette and the orignal secret - click here.)

::::::::

So, with this latest blast in the Furnace constellation, we detect that the old Masonic way of looking at alchemy, aka a symbol of the French Revolution and the diabolical democratic chain of events that unleashed may in fact be burned away by God's furnace in preparation to send the 'New Moses' aka, the King of the White Flag of France, the Great Catholic Monarch as Marie-Julie Jahenny foretold.

St. Michael told her he is only waiting for the order from God to clear France of all that has to do with Freemasonry, aka the Masonic Republic, with his fiery sword and to march with his armies with the King and the White Flag.  The King of iron, the symbol of war, will come during the cleansing hardships, the furnace of tribulation, war, and also poverty. The world is going to be knocked back to a simple way of life after the Three Days of Darkness after all. (And yes, this King is also represented by the White Rider of the Apocalypse. We'll get to that in a minute.)

Note, naming the Furnace constellation may be relatively new to us, but not in the Eastern cultures – to the Chinese in particular the Furnace is the White Tiger of the West– an important symbol of wise imperial or royal rule.

In Chinese culture the tiger is the King of the beasts and was represented with a 'king' symbol on its forehead for centuries. 

 It was said in their mythology that the white tiger would only appear when the emperor ruled with absolute virtue, or if there was peace throughout the world.   Because the colour white of Wu Xing Chinese philosophy theory also represents the west, the White Tiger became a mythological guardian of the west.

So, we can see symbols of the rise of a virtuous Emperor-King from the West associated with the colour white who will come after the purifying furnace of God's fire cleansing the earth and will bring the promised Age of Peace.

I'm not the only one who may have noticed the connection between the Furnace constellation, the White Tiger, and God's dual Creative and cleansing fire.

Take a look at William Blake's (1757-1827) famous poem 'The Tiger' first published in 1794:

Tyger Tyger, burning bright,
In the forests of the night;
What immortal hand or eye,
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?

In what distant deeps or skies.
Burnt the fire of thine eyes?
On what wings dare he aspire?
What the hand, dare seize the fire?

And what shoulder, & what art,
Could twist the sinews of thy heart?
And when thy heart began to beat,
What dread hand? & what dread feet?

What the hammer? what the chain,
In what furnace was thy brain?
What the anvil? what dread grasp,
Dare its deadly terrors clasp!

When the stars threw down their spears
And water'd heaven with their tears:
Did he smile his work to see?
Did he who made the Lamb make thee?

Tyger Tyger burning bright,
In the forests of the night:
What immortal hand or eye,
Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?

Is that poem more than a mere 'co-incidence'?

Hmmmm.

And yes, this is the same William Blake who designed those famous artworks of the Beast from the Apocalypse and the Woman Clothed with the Sun.

He definitely must have been on to something.

However, stop the presses!

New sign, or development of the sign!

This past February 2020, the Fornax explosion has now been outdone by evidence of an ENORMOUS major blast found in the Ophiuchus galaxy cluster, which has now been described as the biggest known explosion since the Big Bang. (Source, click here)

Is the Fornax sign out of date then?

No because I feel God was trying to get us to pay attention to recent discoveries regarding explosions around these particular few months of 2019-2020 as this next explosive discovery in Ophiuchus is very telling as well.

Since we see the 'Furnace' may be lit, Ophiuchus is the next sign, pictured right. 

Although representing a snake bearer, looking at it from a Christian viewpoint, it is in fact a 'Crucifixion' constellation representing Christ.

God in the Old Testament told Moses the Deliverer to raise up a bronze serpent on a staff to save the Israelites from the bites of the dreaded dipsas serpent. (Numbers 21: 8-9) The fiery bite of that serpent caused a burning sensation and a horrible thirst that could not be satisfied before it killed its victims. (Deuteronomy 8:15) God said those who looked upon the bronze serpent would be cured of its fatal bite.

This was an Old Testament symbol of Christ raised up on the Cross – noticed He thirsted greatly – He thirsted for the salvation of souls bitten by the Old Serpent of Sin and Death. Those who looked up Him would Live.

Ophiuchus, the Snake Bearer therefore represents Christ on the Cross.  Next to it is the Virgo constellation representing the Virgin Mary.  (Sorry, I haven't found a chart those goes beyond the scale of Libra to show this.)  At the feet of Ophiuchus is the Scorpio constellation, but in the Old Hebrew way of astronomy, Scorpio was actually the Eagle, and the eagle is the sign of St. John the Evangelist who was with Our Lady at the foot of the Cross.

So, it is a constellation representing the Crucifixion. Yes, you have to use your imagination to 'see' it in the layout of the shapes but the symbolism is there.

I tend to pay attention to what happens in this constellation group because not only is it a Crucifixion scene, but at the right hand of Ophiuchus (if we picture him facing us) is another relatively 'new' constellation added to the Western sky charts – Scutum – the Shield, pictured below.

 

Scutum was named in 1684 by Polish astronomer Johannes Hevelius, (Jan Heweliusz), who originally named it Scutum Sobiescianum (Shield of Sobieski) to commemorate the victory of the Christian forces led by Polish King John III Sobieski (Jan III Sobieski) in the Battle of Vienna in 1683.

The Ottoman Muslim invasion was defeated at the Battle of Vienna. The battle was fought by the Hapsburg Monarchy, the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth and the Holy Roman Empire, under the command of King John III Sobieski. This was the first time the Holy Roman Empire and the Commonwealth and had cooperated militarily against the Ottomans, and often seen as a turning point in history after which "the Ottoman Turks” ceased to be a threat to the Christian world – that is until the recent rise of radical Islamic terrorism.

Early pictures of the Scutum constellation shows the shield with a huge cross on it, and some pictures even show it to be a Red Cross as seen in the illustration.

Another interesting constellation, to the left of Ophiuchus and our right, (if we picture him facing us) is the Corona Borealis, the 'Northern Crown'.

In Greek mythology this constellation represented the gift of a crown given by the god Dionysus to the Cretan princess Ariadne. Dionysus was the god of wine and the grape harvest, and, since we are also concentrating on the image of a cleansing furnace of iron as well as a royal crown connected to a shield with a cross, we detect a symbolic connection with the Royal White Warrior Rider of the Apocalypse with the Sword of the Word of God who will tread out the vintage of God's fiery wrath and rule all the nations with the rod of iron:

"And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called faithful and true, and with justice doth he judge and fight. And his eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many diadems, and he had a name written, which no man knoweth but himself. And he was clothed with a garment sprinkled with blood; and his name is called, THE WORD OF GOD. And the armies that are in heaven followed him on white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. And out of his mouth proceedeth a sharp two edged sword; that with it he may strike the nations. And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness of the wrath of God the Almighty.” (Apoc. 19: 11-15)

Again, of interest, this 'Northern Crown' is next to the shepherd constellation Bootes.

All are intriguing signs when put together - the Great Catholic Monarch is destined to restore the Holy Roman Empire in union with an “Angelic Shepherd Pope” and declare the Victory of the Cross as foretold in the prophecies of the mystics. Together they will unite all of Christendom under the White flag of France and fight back the Muslim invaders of Europe with the army of the Cruciferi, or 'Cross Bearers' who will wear a red cross. But not until the earth is chastised with many tribulations first, the furnace of God so to speak, especially with the Three Days of Darkness with fire falling from the sky. (See the Great Catholic Monarch and Angelic Pontiff prophecies, click here.)

And guess what is the most intriguing sign of all?

It certainly made my jaw drop.

An alchemical furnace, or athanor as depicted in the Fornax constellation, was also called the 'furnace of secrets' and noted for being a slow burning oven.

Since it burned for a long period of time as was prized for carrying out long and slow operations – hence it earned another popular nickname, wait for it.....

Piger Henricus - the 'Slow Henry'.

According to the prophecies of Marie-Julie Jahenny, the name of the promised Great Monarch is HENRY V the 'Miracle Child', also, HENRY of the CROSS.

What is the coincidence of having a 'alchemy furnace' constellation with the link to the name HENRY, and that is should have an explosion happen near it?  And that another explosion should be discovered in a Moses the Deliver / Crucifixion scene and a holy shield with a Cross on it commemrating the Battle of Vienna?   Henry of the Cross!

Of interest, alchemists who would use a 'slow Henry' not only attempted to unlock the secret of how to turn base metals into gold, they also tried to unlock the secrets of immortality and long life, they hoped to do this by discovering the theoretical quintessence in Creation - or FIFTH ELEMENT.

A Henry V connection!

Henry V was already on earth in the 1800s and Marie-Julie Jahenny was told he would one day be returned.  She is not the only mystic who said Henry V was the promised Great Monarch - Ven Josepha of Bourg also said the exiled 'child prince of the 1830s revolution, named 'Prince Dieudonné', i.e. HENRY V, was the king chosen by God and he would return and rule.   Other prophecies indicate sometime in the first third or half of the 21^st century. We have certainly waited a very long time – but the 'furnace of secrets' has at last been lit if what we see in the stars is true – God may be preparing to send him at long last.  

As we recall, God says like silver and gold, He tries ACCEPTABLE MEN in the FURNACE of HUMILIATION.   (Ecclesiasticus (Sirach) 2:5)

Christ tried Henry first in the furnace of humiliation in the annals of history for defending the White Flag of the Absolute Monarchy of Catholic France for it cost him his throne and earned him the mockery of the nations, even today he is still mocked for beaing a weak or inept leader for losing the throne over a flag, but Christ told Marie-Julie "His shoulders will bear like Mine the mantle of abomination, (...)" (July 21, 1881.

King Herod mocked Chrst and his royal authority by dressing him in white before sending Him back to Pilate, who allowed Him to be crucified.

Our Lady told Marie-Julie Jahenny (March 16, 1880):

“My children, so many pains, so many crosses, so many tears will be highly rewarded. (...) It is my Son, who in His turn will command. This is how the secret works arrive slowly coming to their term, after having long been veiled in appearance. You are called to an extraordinary regeneration. (i.e. those predestined to survive the coming tribulations). You will be called the children of the new world."

Our Lord also said this to Marie-Julie Jahenny in February 1941 – apparently, the last of the known published texts of her ecstasies before her death:

“To the powers that have fought with such bravery and courage, they will receive from France the greatest reward: to take its place within the Catholic Church, coming out of this baptism of blood rejuvenated and renewed. I will break all the obstacles and reverse all the projects of those that prevent the light to be, France will be saved by means out of all human knowledge. God has reserved the secret for them until the last moment. I make light of the projects of men, preparing My right wonders. My Heart will be glorified throughout the earth. I appeal to confound the pride of the wicked. And the more the world will be hostile to the supernatural, the more marvellous will be the events that will confuse this negation of the supernatural.”

As Our Lord foretold to Marie-Julie Jahenny before this would all happen and King Henry V the 'Miracle Child' would be returned to renew Christendom, He would send warning signs and tribulations during the beginning of each year (see her prophecies here).

Now, in the first few months of 2020 after noticing these signs and discoveries in the sky regarding the furnace, in addition to huge apocalyptic plagues of locusts through east Africa and as far as west China, the worst ever fires, floods, snow and hail storms within a few months in Australia, earthquakes, floods and volcanoes everywhere in the world, and a new plague, COVID-19 Coronavirus (CROWN virus!) that is threatening to crash the economy and start a revolution, especially in France, which was foretold would be a manufactured event that would usher in the wars before the arrival of the King, we can certainly say we live in interesting times.
