\nHildegard Allegedly Receiving a Vision<\/p>\n
COGwriter<\/a><\/p>\n Pope Benedict XVI recently praised the Catholic<\/a> saint Hildegard of Bingen:<\/p>\n The Pope spoke of the saint during his address at today’s general audience in Castel Gandolfo…<\/p>\n “As always happens in the life of true mystics, Hildegard, too, wanted to be subject to the authority of wise persons to discern the origin of her visions, fearing that they were the fruit of illusions and that they did not come from God,” the Pontiff noted.<\/p>\n St. Bernard of Clairvaux and later, Pope Eugene III, confirmed Hildegard’s mysticism, however, and the nun’s “spiritual prestige grew increasingly, so much so that her contemporaries attributed to her the title of ‘Teutonic prophetess,'” the Pope explained.\u00a0 (Pope Lauds Hildegard’s Docility to Spirit, Church.\u00a0 SEPT. 1, 2010. Zenit.org\u00a0 http:\/\/www.zenit.org\/article-30221?l=english)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Hildegard, who died in 1179, is a somewhat of odd one to praise as some of her visions seem to be opposed to Bible prophecy.<\/p>\n Here is one from her:<\/p>\n <\/em>Antichrist will make the earth move, level mountains, dry up rivers, produce thunder and lightning and hail… (Culleton, The Reign of Antichrist, p. 129)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Yet, the Bible does not teach that Antichrist “make the earth move, level mountains, dry up rivers, produce thunder and lightenings and hail”.\u00a0 The Bible teaches that God will have this done during the Day of the Lord (Revelation 16:12, 17-21).<\/p>\n Furthermore, she also taught:<\/p>\n <\/em>Antichrist<\/strong>…His doctrine of faith will be taken from the Jewish religion and seemingly will not differ much from the fundamental beliefs of Christianity, for he will teach that there is one God<\/strong> who created the world, who rewards the obeyers of his commands and trespassers he chastises, who will raise all from the dead in due time.<\/strong> (Culleton, p. 127)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Yet, because the Bible shows that God will resurrect everyone else after the millennium (Revelation 20:5,13), this is certainly something that we would expect Jesus\u00a0to teach.\u00a0 This is not<\/em> a doctrine or Antichrist.\u00a0 Jesus, of course, practiced the “Jewish” religion, but the way that God, not certain rabbis, intended for it to be practiced.<\/p>\n Catholics need to understand that some prophets who have called themselves Catholic (such as Hildegard) are really warning against the returning Jesus\u00a0Christ, and are referring to Him as Antichrist.\u00a0 Please do not be taken in by that.<\/p>\n Furthermore, Hildegard also claimed the following in another vision:<\/p>\n And fly from those who linger in caves and are cloistered supporters of the Devil. Woe to them, woe to them who remain thus! They are the Devil’s very viscera, and the advance guard of the son of perdition.<\/p>\n Therefore, O you My beloved children, avoid them with all devotion and with all the strength of your souls and bodies. For the ancient serpent\u00a0feeds and clothes them by his arts, and they worship him as God and trust in his false deceptions…Because they are afraid of My people, they do not openly resist these institutions of Mine, but in their hearts and their deeds they hold them as nothing. By devilish illusion, they pretend to have sanctity; but they are deceived by the Devil, for if he were to show himself to them openly they would understand him and flee him\u2026But because the Devil knows he has only a short time for his error, he is not hastening to perfect infidelity in his members; you, you evil deceivers, who labor to subvert the Catholic faith. (Hildegard of Bingen. Scivias. Paulist Press, Mahwah (NJ), pp. 301-302)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n As my book, 2012 and the Rise of the Secret Sect<\/a> points out about the above:<\/p>\n It would appear that the mystic\u00a0was demonically-influenced as she is actually warning against supporting the true Philadelphian\u00a0pacifist Christians (something that may happen, as some might try to join them per Isaiah 56:8).\u00a0 It is the Philadelphians who will be protected, yet she seems to be claiming that they are the “supporters of the Devil” (probably because they will oppose the final revised ecumenical church and because that church will have persecuted them). \u00a0Because she calls them \u201cthe advanced guard of the son of perdition,\u201d she apparently refers to a group of people who will be protected in caves just before Christ\u00a0returns.<\/p>\n Notice also that she specifically warns against religious people in caves who are miraculously fed.<\/p>\n Yet she must not have realized that the Bible indicates that those who receive God\u2019s protection in the wilderness during the end time (Revelation 12:14\u201316), and are in caves (Jeremiah 48:28), are His people (Isaiah 16:1\u20134 in Sela\/Petra), will be religious (Revelation 14:12), and will be miraculously fed (Isaiah 33:15-16). Hence, the above vision does indicate that even the demons have known about a place of protection where some people will be miraculously fed, for quite some time.<\/p>\n However, those associated with the King of the North\u00a0will then turn their attention to the rest of her seed, the non-Philadelphian Christians (which will be a \u201csecret sect,\u201d but will try to remain hidden, most likely, to avoid this persecution).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Even a commentator\u2019s note in the Rheims New Testament<\/em> agrees that the Church goes to a wilderness location:<\/p>\n The Church shall flee as to a desert in Antichrist’s time, but not decay or be unknown, no not for Early Catholic leaders such as Irenaeus, Hippolytus, and Cyril also believed this. Hence Hildegard is once again not even faithful to Catholic positions on prophetic matters.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Furthermore, notice:<\/p>\n Bishop St. Victorinus<\/em> (2nd<\/sup> century): But the woman fled into the wilderness, and there were given to her\u00a0 two great eagle’s wings\u2026to that\u2026church\u2026let them go to that place which they have ready, and let\u00a0\u00a0 them be supported there for three years and six months from the presence of the devil.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Thus, the idea of true Christians fleeing, being supported, and being away from the devil\u00a0for 3 \u00bd years is consistent with both biblical and certain Catholic teachings.\u00a0 No one should rely on Hildegard\u2019s false admonition.\u00a0 The Greek Orthodox\u00a0tend to believe that the faithful will flee to caves in the desert\/wilderness for 3 \u00bd years.<\/p>\n Yet, Hildegard is being praised as a “true mystic”.\u00a0 Perhaps I should point out that she wondered if her visions were of demonic source at times.\u00a0 I suspect that many were.<\/p>\n Hildegard professed positions that were apparently opposed to biblical and certain Catholic understandings of end time events.<\/p>\n Some articles of possibly related interest may include:<\/em><\/p>\n Which Is Faithful: The Roman Catholic Church or the Living Church of God?<\/a> Do you know that both groups shared a lot of the earliest teachings? Do you know which church changed? Do you know which group is most faithful to the teachings of the apostolic church? Which group best represents true Christianity?

\n<\/a>Do Certain Catholic Prophecies About Antichrist Warn Against Jesus?<\/a> Will the final “Anti-Christ” be Jewish, insist on Saturday, be opposed to the trinity, and bring in the millennium? Certain Catholic writings indicate this, while others take a different view, but what does the Bible show?
\nCatholic Prophecies: Do They Mirror, Highlight, or Contradict Biblical Prophecies?<\/a> People of all faiths may be surprised to see what various Roman and Orthodox Catholic prophets have been predicting as many of their predictions will be looked to in the 21st century.
