[21] For there shall be then great tribulation, such as hath not been from the beginning of the world until now, neither shall be. [22] And unless those days had been shortened, no flesh should be saved: but for the sake of the elect those days shall be shortened. [23] Then if any man shall say to you: Lo here is Christ, or there, do not believe him. [24] For there shall arise false Christs and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders, insomuch as to deceive (if possible) even the elect. [25] Behold I have told it to you, beforehand.

cf. Matthew 24:21-25

Has anyone ever speculated on the application of Mt 24:24 to a time when there will be false/invalid priests?  A priest has traditionally been seen as an "Alter Christus ", correct?  So a false Christ would be a false priest, correct?  Are we witnessing the fulfillment of this prophesy today in the NO invalid ordination and episcopal consecration rites?  Even if you don't agree with the specifics of the SV analysis of the current situation, do you agree that there will come a time when there will be many false priests who claim to be Catholic priests but are in fact not priests at all?

Matthew: Christ refers to the prophet Daniel.  The Sacrifice of the Mass, will come to an end and commentaries say nearly and others say for at  least 3 and a half years, no mass.  Precious Blood is The Power.  The Precious Blood is known as Eternal and on this earth I think it is referred to as the "Continual?"  

I don't think we are at this point, yet, but close.

As for the Anti-Christ I think the commentaries refer to Satan who does "magic" to have us believe Christ has come.  We pray for Christ to come at the end of evil time, to bring peace.  

Catholic Prophecies by Tan publishers gives the bible verses and saints, prophets statements in regard to prophecies.

I most definitely need to read my bible more.  Thank God for the commentaries.
