Preface: The “Last Gospel” is the Prologue of the Gospel of John, which is read at the end of almost every Mass in the Traditional Roman Rite. It is John 1: 1-14. It is one of the most beautiful passages of prose ever written, and is, I think, the most theologically dense passage in all of Scripture. I STRONGLY recommend memorizing the Last Gospel in Latin and SILENTLY reciting it along with the priest at the end of every Mass – SILENTLY. Here is the text in English. The reader below makes us realize the primary reason why the infiltrators eliminated it from the Novus Ordo Mass. The excuse they give is, “It takes up too much time and is redundant.” NO, they hate it because it explicitly states that the New Covenant is the one and only Covenant now in force. Read on:
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The Same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by Him: and without Him was made nothing that was made. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.
There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. This man came for a witness, to give testimony of the Light, that all men might believe through him. He was not the Light, but was to give testimony of the Light. That was the True Light, which enlighteneth every man that cometh into this world. He was in the world, and the world was made by Him, and the world knew Him not.
He came unto His own, and His own received him not. But as many as received Him, He gave them power to be made the sons of God, to them that believe in His Name. Who are born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, the glory as it were of the Only Begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.
Almost EVERY Catholic Mass in the Roman Rite concluded with this Gospel proclamation until Sunday, November 30, ARSH 1969. Sit in stillness with that. Connect the dots. It’s not difficult.
Do we see? We just can’t all be saying that the mostly atheist political race that defines itself by its rejection of Jesus Christ has zero claim to the Holy Land, Jerusalem or ANY claim to chosenness, eliteness, or anything else. That all ended with the New Covenant, made manifest by the Jews’ conscious coercion of Pontius Pilate via their VERY thinly veiled death threat to him, his family and his entire household and staff (And from henceforth Pilate sought to release Him. But the Jews cried out, saying: “If thou release this man, thou art not Caesar’s friend…”) to MURDER their own Messiah – God Himself incarnate. Folks, if ever there were a “deal-breaker”, that’s it. You can’t kill God and then have the unmitigated gall to run around claiming “Divine Right” to ANYTHING. And, again, just a reminder, the VAST, VAST majority of self-identifying “Jews” today are ATHEISTS. Yes, ATHEISTS claiming DIVINE rights. Talk about a violation of the Law of Non-contradiction….
Just keep repeating: THE NEW ISRAEL IS THE CATHOLIC CHURCH. THE HOLY LAND BELONGS TO THE CATHOLIC CHURCH BY DIVINE RIGHT AND CONQUEST OF JESUS CHRIST THE KING.
Ann,
Just wanted to comment on Shmuley Boteach rushing to the Vatican to be at the beside of the “improving/dying/feeling much better/had a restful night/has 72 hours to live” “Bishop of Rome.”
“Here, corpse, sign this paper that you agree the land known now as Israel belongs to the Jews.” Now, why in the world, we must ask ourselves, would it be SOOOOO important to have the man who is presumed to be the Vicar of Christ make such an announcement? Hmmmm. I wonder.
And drat, how did we not get this signed and delivered before he got into this state of health? (Keep praying. This may be something God will never permit.)
What Shmuley and the Modernists and the Evangelicals all seem to ignore are Jesus’ own words at the Last Supper:
“FOR THIS IS THE CHALICE OF MY BLOOD, OF THE NEW AND ETERNAL COVENANT…” Matt. 26:27
This is explicit in the Bible, which Modernists and Protestants say they believe and follow, so how do they not see that once one covenant ends, and a new one begins, all the terms of the first covenant are over? John in his prologue, explicitly states:
“He came unto His own, and His own received Him not. But as many as received Him, He gave them power to be made the sons of God, to them that believe in His Name. Who are born, not of blood [not into a chosen race of people], nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.” John 1: 11-13
I think it’s pretty clear the old covenant was ended by the coming of Jesus Christ (because He said so) and so the old terms are over, and the new terms are defined in John 1.
They were the chosen ones, but they aren’t anymore…. Or to put it better, the chosen ones are those who accepted the Messiah when He came, and followed Him, and now the chosen people are Catholics. (Just say THAT out loud and watch people’s heads explode… 🙂)
But I’ll bet Shmuley’s logic convinces many stupid Christians, and Catholics who’ve swallowed the bilge of the Modernists, to go, yeah. Yeah. That’s right. The land belongs to the Jews…
No, my brothers and sisters in Christ, the land belongs to those who follow the Messiah….. (And Shmuley knows it! That’s why he needs a paper…)
God bless, Ann.
Sometimes I just marvel that I am alive during such times…

The proclamation of The Last Gospel at the conclusion of Mass, wherein ALL genuflect at the words proclaiming the Incarnation of the Second Person of the Most Holy Trinity, Our Lord Jesus Christ, “Et Verbum caro factum est,” “And The Word was made flesh…”
