Venerable Brethren, Greeting and the Apostolic
Benediction.
In the first Encyclical Letter which We addressed at the
beginning of Our Pontificate to the Bishops of the
universal Church, We referred to the chief causes of
the difficulties under which mankind was laboring. And
We remember saying that these manifold evils in the
world were due to the fact that the majority of men
had thrust Jesus Christ and his holy law out of their
lives; that these had no place either in private affairs or
in politics: and we said further, that as long as
individuals and states refused to submit to the rule of
our Savior, there would be no really hopeful prospect
of a lasting peace among nations. Men must look for
the peace of Christ in the Kingdom of Christ ; and that We
promised to do as far as lay in Our power. In the
Kingdom of Christ, that is, it seemed to Us that peace
could not be more effectually restored nor fixed upon a
firmer basis than through the restoration of the Empire
of Our Lord. We were led in the meantime to indulge
the hope of a brighter future at the sight of a more
widespread and keener interest evinced in Christ and
his Church, the one Source of Salvation, a sign that
men who had formerly spurned the rule of our
Redeemer and had exiled themselves from his kingdom
were preparing, and even hastening, to return to the
duty of obedience. quas primas 1 Like |

7. It has long been a common custom to give to Christ
the metaphorical title of "King," because of the high
degree of perfection whereby he excels all creatures.
So he is said to reign "in the hearts of men," both by
reason of the keenness of his intellect and the extent
of his knowledge, and also because he is very truth,
and it is from him that truth must be obediently
received by all mankind. He reigns, too, in the wills of
men, for in him the human will was perfectly and
entirely obedient to the Holy Will of God, and further by
his grace and inspiration he so subjects our free-will
as to incite us to the most noble endeavors. He is King
of hearts, too, by reason of his "charity which
exceedeth all knowledge." And his mercy and kindness
[1] which draw all men to him, for never has it been
known, nor will it ever be, that man be loved so much
and so universally as Jesus Christ. But if we ponder
this matter more deeply, we cannot but see that the
title and the power of King belongs to Christ as man in
the strict and proper sense too. For it is only as man
that he may be said to have received from the Father
"power and glory and a kingdom,"[2] since the Word of
God, as consubstantial with the Father, has all things
in common with him, and therefore has necessarily
supreme and absolute dominion over all things
created.
8. Do we not read throughout the Scriptures that Christ
is the King? He it is that shall come out of Jacob to
rule,[3] who has been set by the Father as king over
Sion, his holy mount, and shall have the Gentiles for
his inheritance, and the utmost parts of the earth for
his possession.[4] In the nuptial hymn, where the
future King of Israel is hailed as a most rich and
powerful monarch, we read: "Thy throne, O God, is for
ever and ever; the scepter of thy kingdom is a scepter
of righteousness."[5] There are many similar passages,
but there is one in which Christ is even more clearly
indicated. Here it is foretold that his kingdom will have
no limits, and will be enriched with justice and peace:
"in his days shall justice spring up, and abundance of
peace...And he shall rule from sea to sea, and from the
river unto the ends of the earth."[6]
9. The testimony of the Prophets is even more
abundant. That of Isaias is well known: "For a child is
born to us and a son is given to us, and the
government is upon his shoulder, and his name shall
be called Wonderful, Counselor, God the mighty, the
Father of the world to come, the Prince of Peace. His
empire shall be multiplied, and there shall be no end of
peace. He shall sit upon the throne of David and upon
his kingdom; to establish it and strengthen it with
judgment and with justice, from henceforth and for
ever."[7] With Isaias the other Prophets are in
agreement. So Jeremias foretells the "just seed" that
shall rest from the house of David - the Son of David
that shall reign as king, "and shall be wise, and shall
execute judgment and justice in the earth."[8] So, too,
Daniel, who announces the kingdom that the God of
heaven shall found, "that shall never be destroyed, and
shall stand for ever."[9] And again he says: "I beheld,
therefore, in the vision of the night, and, lo! one like
the son of man came with the clouds of heaven. And
he came even to the Ancient of days: and they
presented him before him. And he gave him power and
glory and a kingdom: and all peoples, tribes, and
tongues shall serve him. His power is an everlasting
power that shall not be taken away, and his kingdom
shall not be destroyed."[10] The prophecy of Zachary
concerning the merciful King "riding upon an ass and
upon a colt the foal of an ass" entering Jerusalem as
"the just and savior," amid the acclamations of the
multitude,[11] was recognized as fulfilled by the holy
evangelists themselves.

skyice: The Bible did not capture all the events that took place before and after ascension of Christ Examples The Bible did not tell us who the parents of Mary were, what they went through and why they didn't have a child and what the will be of the child when will be born. The Bible did not tell us how the blessed virgin mary died, buried amd assummed. Read this On the night following the burial, took place the bodily assumption of the Blessed Virgin into heaven. I saw on this night several of the Apostles and holy women in the little garden, praying and singing Psalms before the grotto. I saw a broad pathway of light descend from heaven and rest upon the tomb. In it were circles of glory full of angels, in the midst of whom the resplendent soul of the Blessed Virgin came floating down. Before her went her Divine Son, the marks of His Wounds flashing with light. In the innermost circle, that which surrounded the holy soul of Mary, the angels appeared like the faces of very young children; in the second circle, they were like those of children from six to eight years old; and in the outermost, like the faces of youths, I could clearly distinguish only the face, the rest of the figure consisting of perfectly transparent light. Encircling the head of the Blessed Virgin like a crown, was a choir of blessed spirits. Read more www.jesus-passion.com/VirginMary'sDeath.htm The 3 glorious circles is the SEAL OF THE LIVING GOD WHICH IS ALSO THE NAME OF GOD. NOBODY CAN GET THAT SEAL IF THE PERSON IS SAVED AND NOBODY CAN BE SAVED WITHOUT THE SACRIFICAL DEATH OF CHRIST WHICH IS WHEE THE WOUNDS CAME FROM. The 3rd message or revelation of the Lady of Fatima was all about the birth of The Ancient of Days, the location where He will be born. Vatican is scared of losing their members therefore they refused to obey God. |

0. This same doctrine of the Kingship of Christ which
we have found in the Old Testament is even more
clearly taught and confirmed in the New. The
Archangel, announcing to the Virgin that she should
bear a Son, says that "the Lord God shall give unto him
the throne of David his father, and he shall reign in the
house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there
shall be no end."[12]
11. Moreover, Christ himself speaks of his own kingly
authority: in his last discourse, speaking of the
rewards and punishments that will be the eternal lot of
the just and the damned; in his reply to the Roman
magistrate, who asked him publicly whether he were a
king or not; after his resurrection, when giving to his
Apostles the mission of teaching and baptizing all
nations, he took the opportunity to call himself king,
[13] confirming the title publicly,[14] and solemnly
proclaimed that all power was given him in heaven and
on earth.[15] These words can only be taken to
indicate the greatness of his power, the infinite extent
of his kingdom. What wonder, then, that he whom St.
John calls the "prince of the kings of the earth"[16]
appears in the Apostle's vision of the future as he who
"hath on his garment and on his thigh written 'King of
kings and Lord of lords!'."[17] It is Christ whom the
Father "hath appointed heir of all things";[18] "for he
must reign until at the end of the world he hath put all
his enemies under the feet of God and the Father. quas primas 1 Like |

13. The foundation of this power and dignity of Our
Lord is rightly indicated by Cyril of Alexandria. "Christ,"
he says, "has dominion over all creatures, a dominion
not seized by violence nor usurped, but his by essence
and by nature."[20] His kingship is founded upon the
ineffable hypostatic union. From this it follows not
only that Christ is to be adored by angels and men,
but that to him as man angels and men are subject,
and must recognize his empire; by reason of the
hypostatic union Christ has power over all creatures.
But a thought that must give us even greater joy and
consolation is this that Christ is our King by acquired,
as well as by natural right, for he is our Redeemer.
Would that they who forget what they have cost their
Savior might recall the words: "You were not redeemed
with corruptible things, but with the precious blood of
Christ, as of a lamb unspotted and undefiled."[21] We
are no longer our own property, for Christ has
purchased us "with a great price";[22] our very bodies
are the "members of Christ."[23]
14. Let Us explain briefly the nature and meaning of
this lordship of Christ. It consists, We need scarcely
say, in a threefold power which is essential to lordship.
This is sufficiently clear from the scriptural testimony
already adduced concerning the universal dominion of
our Redeemer, and moreover it is a dogma of faith that
Jesus Christ was given to man, not only as our
Redeemer, but also as a law-giver, to whom obedience
is due.[24] Not only do the gospels tell us that he
made laws, but they present him to us in the act of
making them. Those who keep them show their love
for their Divine Master, and he promises that they shall
remain in his love.[25] He claimed judicial power as
received from his Father, when the Jews accused him
of breaking the Sabbath by the miraculous cure of a
sick man. "For neither doth the Father judge any man;
but hath given all judgment to the Son."[26] In this
power is included the right of rewarding and punishing
all men living, for this right is inseparable from that of
judging. Executive power, too, belongs to Christ, for all
must obey his commands; none may escape them, nor
the sanctions he has imposed.
15. This kingdom is spiritual and is concerned with
spiritual things. That this is so the above quotations
from Scripture amply prove, and Christ by his own
action confirms it. On many occasions, when the Jews
and even the Apostles wrongly supposed that the
Messiah would restore the liberties and the kingdom of
Israel, he repelled and denied such a suggestion. When
the populace thronged around him in admiration and
would have acclaimed him King, he shrank from the
honor and sought safety in flight. Before the Roman
magistrate he declared that his kingdom was not of this
world. The gospels present this kingdom as one which
men prepare to enter by penance, and cannot actually
enter except by faith and by baptism, which, though
an external rite, signifies and produces an interior
regeneration. This kingdom is opposed to none other
than to that of Satan and to the power of darkness. It
demands of its subjects a spirit of detachment from
riches and earthly things, and a spirit of gentleness.
They must hunger and thirst after justice, and more
than this, they must deny themselves and carry the
cross.
16. Christ as our Redeemer purchased the Church at
the price of his own blood; as priest he offered
himself, and continues to offer himself as a victim for
our sins. Is it not evident, then, that his kingly dignity
partakes in a manner of both these offices? 1 Like |
