🙏Prophecies and messages of the Virgin Mary. "MANY NATIONS WILL BE
I would like to address the Virgin Mary issue. I was raised Catholic and attended parochial school from 1-8 grade. I know the catechism and Catholic belief system concerning Mary. I have been a Born Again Christian for 47 years now, and have come to know the truth concerning her position on earth as a human being and the one selected to carry, deliver and raise God the Son, Jesus the Christ. She was unmistakably the most blessed woman to be born, and I wish I was more like her. That being said, it is undeniable that she had a high purpose (calling) by God for a specific time frame and fulfilled it in honor to her. But she is a fellow believer in Jesus Christ her Savior...
Luke 1:46 "My soul doth magnify the Lord, and my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Savior... These are the words of Mary after receiving the news from the angel Gabriel that she was to give birth to the Son of God. She needed a Savior like we all do and so she was neither perpetually sinless nor perpetually virgin. She gave birth to other sons and daughters.
Mark 6:3 "Isn't this the carpenter? Isn't this Mary's son and the brother of James, Joseph, Judas and Simon? Aren't his sisters here with us?"
Matthew 12:46 While Jesus was still talking to the crowd, his mother and brothers stood outside, wanting to speak to Him. Someone told Him, "Your mother and brothers are standing outside, wanting to speak to you."
Neither should she receive worship. I think if she could appear to us on earth like the angels can (which she cannot), I know she would respond to being worshipped as the Holy Angels do and as did Peter...
Revelation 22:8-9 I John, am the one who heard and saw all these things. And when i heard and saw them , i fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who showed them to me. :9 But he said, "No, don't worship me. i am a servant of God, just like you and your brothers the prophets, as well as all who obey what is written in this book. Worship only God!"
This is what Peter said to Cornelius when he bowed down to worship him.
Acts 10:25-26 "Stand up; i myself am also a man,"
I am the LORD; that is my name! I will not give my glory to another, nor share my praise with carved idols." Is 42:8
