Theif In the night

[pioflower]

Why does our lord say he comes as a theif in the night
But why does the Bible say the antichrist reign only lasts three and a half years
Daniel 12 literally counts down the days
He also said people will say " peace, security"
It makes no sense that he comes at the end of the antichrist reign
It says in Daniel 12 wait for him for three and a half years when the antichrist abolishes the mass
I don't understand

It seems obvious to me.  God sets traps for you and the scripture points to all confessions being invalid.

Is that what you want to hear?

Go get help.

[pioflower]

How about someone explain this confusion to me 

[Bernadette]

Ask a priest.

[pioflower]

What's the point in this part of the forum then ?

What's the point in this part of the forum then ?

To correct spelling.  It's Thief.

Why's is everyone being so disrespectful, when I'm confused about some scripture?

[Greg]

Because you only ever post about the end times and nothing else.

[pioflower]

Yeah because we are in those times and I don't understand the church interpretation of it

[Greg]

The Church thinks we are in the new springtime of Vatican II.

I don't think we are in the end times.   There is no Antichrist figure for a start.

Because you have scruples and refuse to get help.  And don't lie about it.  Because we are in the end times and anti-Christ is out there hurling lightning bolts it is clear that confessions are invalid.  Not a good time to lie.

Go talk to a priest and get help.  You have scruples.

[pioflower]

If they are invalid, why are priests still doing them ... To mock us??

[Instaurare omnia]

Dear pioflower: It would be best for you to speak directly with a priest for several reasons.

   
• First, clergy have significantly more knowledge of how to interpret Scripture than many of us here on Suscipe Domine would. Yes, this forum section is titled, "Ask a Traditionalist," but some of these matters you ask about are best addressed by someone who is ordained and thoroughly prepared in traditional Catholic theology.
• Second, the Scriptural topics that interest you would be explained more effectively during a conversation of questions and answers, where a priest could clarify in more detail than could ever be possible in an internet forum (where members are limited to typing a few sentences at different hours and days).
• Last (and most important for your particular spiritual needs), an experienced priest can provide pastoral care that is appropriate for your own spiritual circumstance. That priest could also begin to understand how your concerns might be heightened or eased from time to time. In this way, little by little you could begin to have fewer doubts and worries.

May the Lord keep you
