00:00At that time, the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a town in Galilee called Nazareth,
00:15to a virgin betrothed to a man of the lineage of David, named Joseph. The virgin's name was Mary.
00:23The angel came to her and said, "Rejoice, full of grace, the Lord is with you."
00:30Upon hearing these words, she became very worried and wondered what such a greeting could mean.
00:36The angel said to her, "Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God."
00:42You will conceive and give birth to a son and you will name him Jesus.
00:46He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High.
00:50The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David, and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever; his reign will have no end.
01:00Mary then said to the angel, "How can you do this, since I am a virgin?"
01:06The angel answered, "The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you."
01:15Therefore, the holy one to be born of you will be called the Son of God.
01:22There's your relative Isabel who, despite her old age, has conceived a child and is already in her sixth month, the one they used to call Sterile.
01:30Because nothing is impossible for God.
01:33Mary answered, I am the servant of the Lord; fulfill in me what you have said.
01:40And the angel withdrew from his presence.
01:43We have come throughout these three Sundays, these three weeks,
02:01insisting on the need for our historical celebration, this commemoration we hold,
02:11This commemoration we make of Jesus' historical birth,
02:16so that it has truly Christian characteristics,
02:19And these are the characteristics that the world has gradually given it,
02:24where what we celebrate no longer resembles the original Christian festival.
02:29In fact, as we saw in some of our reflections,
02:33Well, some people don't even know what's being celebrated anymore, right?
02:37It's simply a party, a meal, a dinner,
02:41There are the presents, there's Santa Claus, all that kind of stuff,
02:45which ultimately tells us very little about the historical event we are celebrating.
02:51That is why we have insisted during these past three Sundays,
02:55regarding the commitment and responsibility we have as a practicing community,
03:02a community that comes to mass, a believing community,
03:06the great responsibility we have to help recover this Christian holiday for our church.
03:14Within our reflection during this time,
03:16We saw that Christmas, the Christmas festival, had three particular aspects
03:23and that we had to take them into account.
03:26We saw this historical aspect which is in this year,
03:29In particular, I wanted to emphasize the previous three Sundays.
03:34But they will also remember that on one of the Sundays
03:37We talked about this encounter with Christ.
03:40that we have continually with our brothers.
03:45In other words, encountering Christ also means encountering our brother.
03:49with the father, with the son.
03:51It is that participation that God has made in his own body.
03:54And we were saying what you did to the others,
03:57especially with the poor and needy,
04:00Well, you did it to me.
04:01So Christmas also has to do with the brother,
04:04It has to do with charity.
04:05The topic of gifts and other topics also stem from this.
04:09So, we also insist on the need
04:11that this Christmas, well, would also have this social characteristic,
04:16the encounter with my brother, particularly the one who is estranged.
04:21And today the liturgy presents us with the situation
04:25in order to launch this to the third track,
04:28which is the topic we call scatological.
04:30In other words, the end.
04:33We all hope that at the end of our lives
04:36we will definitely meet Christ.
04:41And so today we live in the already,
04:45But not yet.
04:47Is Jesus already among us?
04:49Yes, it's done.
04:50It's in my brother, it's in my dad,
04:53It's in my son, it's in the poor person,
04:55It is in the people in need,
04:57It is in the remote,
04:58It is in His word, it is in the Eucharist.
05:01There it is.
05:02It's the already, but not yet.
05:04He's already arrived.
05:05He has already been born,
05:06And that's why we're celebrating a historic holiday.
05:09But fullness has not yet been reached.
05:13Today we heard in the first reading
05:14how God makes a series of promises
05:18on our journey.
05:21In the book we have heard about the kings today
05:24He promised David a savior.
05:27A savior who would bring peace,
05:28a savior who would reorganize the people,
05:32a true king who would be a king of justice,
05:35King of peace, King of mercy,
05:38a king who would have all the characteristics
05:41of this God who wants his people
05:44follow him and live according to his will.
05:48In Mary we see the fulfillment.
05:51There is a promise and there is a fulfillment,
05:54But it is a partial compliance.
05:57The Jews in their time expected,
06:00The Jews in their time expected
06:02that the Messiah would finally bring
06:06this new change.
06:08They didn't; they still weren't clear on it.
06:11the idea that we have today
06:12of redemption and eternal life,
06:15because this was only revealed by Jesus Christ.
06:18They thought that with the arrival of the Messiah
06:21It was going to change everything for Israel.
06:22and they expected rather a material kingdom.
06:26Although there was talk of resurrection,
06:28Well, there was a slightly confusing idea,
06:32TRUE?
06:32Very much in line with what Jehovah's Witnesses think
06:35about a resurrection on this earth,
06:39that we're going to stay here.
06:41This would be a partial idea,
06:43That's why Jehovah's Witnesses
06:44that guide practically all of his theology
06:48about the Old Testament,
06:49because they still think,
06:51even with the revelation of Jesus Christ,
06:53that there will not be this so-called resurrection
06:56to the heavens,
06:57but they will stay here on earth.
07:00Sometimes I tell them,
07:02This thought is so absurd,
07:03Because imagine how many thousands and thousands and thousands
07:08and billions upon billions upon billions of human beings
07:11have passed through this land,
07:13from Adam and Eve.
07:15Assuming that, as some say,
07:17that Homo Sapiens,
07:19That is, the one who already has a soul,
07:21human beings, created by God with a soul,
07:24who is the one who will live eternally,
07:25that he had on this earth
07:2860,000 years, right?
07:31Some say 120 and so on, more or less.
07:33But put 60,000 years.
07:35How many thousands and thousands and thousands and thousands
07:38and billions upon billions,
07:40of millions, of millions of people
07:41have passed through this land?
07:45Well, not everyone would fit.
07:49And then they also make another mistake,
07:51I take this opportunity to correct some of those errors,
07:53because sometimes we have to share with them
07:55And since we're not always very skilled
07:58in all these types of theological topics,
08:01because they confuse us.
08:03So, I take advantage of this,
08:04Since today I'm going to talk about eternity,
08:07I'm taking this opportunity to make this issue perfectly clear.
08:11They say they have three different levels.
08:17The 144,000.
08:20Who are those 144,000, they say?
08:24Well, they are the chosen ones.
08:25Based on what?
08:26Who knows?
08:27They don't clarify that.
08:28They never know who the 144,000 are.
08:31Because when I question them,
08:33Well, I tell you,
08:34Well, brother,
08:35If only 144,000 are going to be resurrected,
08:38They were completed yesterday,
08:39You're not allowed in anymore.
08:41Nor those from here on out,
08:42You don't get in anymore.
08:44Yeah?
08:44So, then,
08:47It doesn't say, well,
08:49Those are them,
08:51I'm going to put them like this because they don't explain it to me well.
08:53They are, let's say,
08:54super chosen.
08:55Based on what?
08:56Well, we don't know why they are,
08:59The Book of Revelation says,
09:01who are the followers of the Lamb,
09:04that is to say,
09:04the followers of Christ.
09:05So,
09:06all followed by Christ
09:07It would be included in those 144,000.
09:10They would have to read the next chapter,
09:11where it says,
09:13and I also saw,
09:14in addition to the 144,000 he saw,
09:17saw a crowd
09:18that no one could tell.
09:21But that little bit,
09:22They don't read that one.
09:24Or who knows what interpretation they'll give to that little bit,
09:26TRUE?
09:27Because it says,
09:28And then I saw a crowd
09:30that nobody,
09:31nobody,
09:32no one could tell.
09:33Billions of billions of billions of billions of billions.
09:37The number 144,000
09:40I've already explained it.
09:41Does anyone remember?
09:42from the explanation I have given
09:43about these numbers 144,000?
09:46What is its structure?
09:47Why is it number 144,000?
09:49Who are you referring to?
09:52The twelve tribes, right?
09:54The twelve tribes of the Old Testament
09:56And the twelve apostles, right?
09:59Then we have the ancient people of God
10:02which is founded on the twelve,
10:04the twelve tribes of Israel
10:06and the new town that is founded
10:08about preaching
10:10of the twelve apostles.
10:12Old Testament,
10:14New Testament,
10:16people of the Old Testament,
10:18people of the New Testament.
10:19If we don't add those up,
10:21but we multiply them, right?
10:24Then we get to twelve by twelve,
10:27one hundred and forty-four.
10:29And the thousandth,
10:30What does it mean in the Bible?
10:31Do you remember?
10:33Don't they remember?
10:34What happened?
10:35He's been here a long time.
10:36watching with us.
10:37Mr. Coria,
10:39How does the Bible view the number one thousand?
10:41Do you remember what?
10:42No.
10:48It has no end, does it?
10:50It's something incalculable.
10:52Says,
10:53It says in the Letter of Saint Peter,
10:55says,
10:55One day to you is like a thousand years
10:58and a thousand years like a day.
11:01That is to say,
11:02It is an uncountable number.
11:04What is it telling us?
11:05the people of the Old Testament?
11:08Countless.
11:09The people of the New Testament,
11:10countless.
11:11And then it makes sense
11:12what it says in the next chapter.
11:15I saw a crowd
11:16that no one could tell.
11:19They are the one hundred and forty-four thousand redeemed.
11:22Do you notice?
11:24So,
11:25There is a numerology
11:26within the Apocalypse.
11:30It's a special read.
11:32Do you remember that on some occasion
11:33I've told them that if they want
11:34to delve deeper into this,
11:36that is worthwhile,
11:37There is a very interesting little book,
11:39very short,
11:41that is written by an author
11:42very interesting
11:43whose name is Hugo Vanni.
11:45With V.
11:46Hugo Vanni.
11:47He is a specialist
11:49in Revelation.
11:51So,
11:51the specialists,
11:53well,
11:53They have the ability
11:54to be able to synthesize
11:56and be very clear
11:57because they know the ideas well.
11:59He who does not know the ideas well,
12:00well,
12:01I think,
12:02I think so, and we talk a lot.
12:03Like me, right?
12:04So,
12:05I talk a lot of nonsense.
12:06And so sometimes I don't say anything.
12:08But Hugo Vanni
12:08Yes, it says so.
12:09Clearly and specifically,
12:10in a book that has that title,
12:12The Apocalypse.
12:15Here it comes
12:15all of these,
12:17above all,
12:17the important bases,
12:18No?
12:19For example,
12:19numerology,
12:21the figures,
12:21What do the horses mean?
12:23Why does he use horses?
12:25who is the beast,
12:26what is the number
12:27666,
12:29They're all numbers
12:30that are represented
12:31in matters
12:32that make sense.
12:34Those aren't numbers like that,
12:36the number 666,
12:37the number of the beast,
12:38Why the number of the beast?
12:39What is the number 666?
12:40Why 666?
12:41Well,
12:42Hugo Vanni explains all of that.
12:43I could explain it to you right now,
12:45But then they wouldn't go to eat
12:47And I think they do want to go out to eat,
12:49TRUE?
12:49So,
12:50very good.
12:50All of this that I have explained to you
12:54It's because
12:55We hope
12:57the resurrection,
13:00We hope
13:01Catholic theology,
13:03Unlike his brothers,
13:06Jehovah's Witnesses,
13:07who say that only
13:08144 thousand
13:10They will be resurrected
13:11and the others,
13:13Well,
13:13144 thousand
13:14They're going to heaven
13:15and the rest
13:18They're going to stay here.
13:20But since they don't fit,
13:21Then they said,
13:22So what do we do?
13:23What do we do?
13:24Ah,
13:24The thing is, not everyone is going to be resurrected.
13:27And who does?
13:31Well, let's see who.
13:32TRUE?
13:33Let's see whose turn it is.
13:35No,
13:35We Catholic Christians,
13:37according to the revelation
13:39that we have received from Jesus Christ,
13:41fury,
13:43mind,
13:44view,
13:45interpreted
13:46and preached by the church,
13:48the thing is
13:48all,
13:49absolutely
13:50all,
13:52Do you know what that means?
13:53all?
13:55Yeah,
13:55TRUE?
13:55What is everyone?
13:57Well, everyone,
13:57TRUE?
13:59Very good,
14:00so,
14:01We will all be resurrected,
14:03some for eternal life
14:05and others
14:07for eternal damnation,
14:09very clearly explained,
14:12Matthew chapter 25,
14:14TRUE?
14:14There's going to be a trial.
14:16some for eternal life
14:17and others to eternal damnation,
14:19but everyone
14:20We are going to resurrect.
14:22And then,
14:23We'll celebrate there.
14:24our birth
14:27to eternal life,
14:29party that we are going to celebrate now.
14:32Already?
14:32Is he here?
14:34Do we have it yet?
14:35Yeah,
14:36but not yet fully.
14:37Already?
14:39But not yet.
14:41Yeah?
14:42Very good,
14:43That one already,
14:43But not yet,
14:44It's the one we need now
14:47project into the future.
14:48So
14:50the fourth Sunday
14:51in cycle B,
14:52which is what we are asking for,
14:54He shoots at us,
14:56it throws us
14:57to a permanent advent,
15:00to a preparation
15:01for the final encounter.
15:04For three weeks
15:05We kept insisting
15:06about the meeting
15:08with the historical Christ,
15:10his birthday.
15:11Let's celebrate
15:12historically
15:13her birthday
15:13and its presence
15:15among us
15:15through the brothers,
15:17the Eucharist
15:18and the word.
15:19But on the fourth Sunday
15:20in cycle B,
15:21He shoots us
15:23towards final compliance.
15:26Similarly
15:27that God promises to David
15:29a Savior
15:30and a new life,
15:32that is life
15:32that we live in Christ,
15:35Well, now,
15:35the fourth Sunday
15:36it throws us
15:37towards eternity.
15:39And that's why I would like
15:40Let's begin our reflection today.
15:42on this topic
15:43starting from chapter 14
15:45from the Gospel of Saint John.
15:48We know,
15:51as we have observed
15:53by birth
15:54of Christ,
15:55that God always fulfills
15:57what it promises.
15:59And since we
16:00we recognize,
16:01It clearly states this.
16:03the same evangelist
16:04Saint John
16:04in its first chapter,
16:06that Jesus Christ
16:07is truly God,
16:08the Son of God
16:09and therefore
16:10consubstantial with the Father,
16:11then his word
16:13It has the same truthfulness
16:15that the word
16:16that God has eternal,
16:18because it is God himself.
16:19And then
16:20in chapter 14
16:21the first verses
16:22They say the following.
16:24Do not be anxious,
16:27believe in God
16:29and believe also in me.
16:31In my Father's house
16:33There are many places
16:34where to live.
16:35If that were not the case,
16:36I wouldn't have told them
16:37that I'm going to prepare for them
16:39a place.
16:39And after I left
16:40and to prepare a place for them,
16:42I'll come again
16:43to take them with me
16:44so that you may be
16:46in the same place
16:47where I'm going to be.
16:49Do you believe this, brothers?
16:54What is 144 thousand?
16:59We believe
17:00in this word.
17:02We believe
17:03that is coming
17:04one moment
17:05in which Jesus Christ
17:06He's coming back
17:07for us
17:08and it's going to take us
17:09to live eternally
17:11with the.
17:13The apostle Saint Peter
17:15in his letter
17:17it says in the second letter
17:19Peter's
17:20Chapter 3
17:21verse 13
17:22says
17:23we hope
17:24new heavens
17:26and new land
17:28Where are we going?
17:30to live.
17:31A new heaven
17:32and a new land.
17:33That is to say,
17:34everything completely
17:35different.
17:35We would have again
17:36that we refer to
17:37to the book of Revelation.
17:39I won't waste any more time
17:40about the book of Revelation.
17:42Only
17:42I'm clarifying
17:44some elements.
17:46We will go to live
17:47to a place
17:48where God
17:48has prepared
17:49for us
17:50a dwelling
17:50wonderful,
17:52Fantastic.
17:53This is what I have preached
17:54much during the time
17:55Easter
17:56because it's the one that opens us up
17:57already in this life
17:59wonderful,
17:59this life in Jesus Christ,
18:01this life that we will live
18:02in the sky.
18:03But Christmas is already here,
18:04then the fourth
18:05Advent Sunday
18:06it throws us
18:07towards eternity,
18:09towards the promise
18:10definitive,
18:11towards the meeting,
18:12towards the already,
18:13But not yet.
18:17And then
18:18not yet,
18:19means
18:20that I have to keep going
18:20walking,
18:23that I have to follow
18:24moving forward,
18:25that I have to follow
18:26building,
18:28that life
18:28It's not over
18:29and that this Christmas
18:31well no,
18:32no problem,
18:33It's a historic celebration
18:34as
18:34What happens next?
18:35of your birthday?
18:36the next day
18:39Is something wrong?
18:41No, right?
18:43It was my birthday
18:44and well,
18:44well the next day
18:45Well, life goes on.
18:47We need to collect
18:48the whole house,
18:48No?
18:49Because it remained,
18:50We invite you there
18:50to my little friends,
18:51So this is what it ended up being
18:52I'll tell you about it there,
18:54That's why they're now looking
18:55these places
18:57for the holidays,
18:58TRUE?
