Jesus says: I AM the Red Rose from Alpha to Omega



Jesus says: I AM the Red Rose from Alpha to Omega

Jesus says: I AM the Red Rose
from Alpha to Omega as I AM sent by my Father, who is calling me
also Jeja.
And the beloved rose of my heart I also call my eternal love and one and only
bride and spouse Mary Magdala, with whom I have 
always and again in every incarnation
secretly had to hide the fact that our heavenly eternal marriage
was from the beginning of time not only in poetry and rhyme
intact from those, who simply
could not accept me being on earth
a God made man and begotten and a husband and father
at Mary Magdala's and mine kitchen hearth, and so God
and me decided to give everybody a chance
to overcome their disbelief and their greed
and lust for power and their corruption of spiritual power
in trance as we find that really
rotten.

And Mary Magdala was also Eve, and not Mary
the Holy Mother of Jesus, as that would otherwise really
be indeed a very twisted Oedipus styled tell-a-tale
that tastes extremely cruel and stale and would
be a right heretical anti-holy family fuel and betrayal
of the true holy family creed, if a mother
would be her own son's spouse, not to speak of the violation
of God's holy seed, unless one takes in addition to the
true family tradition - like
the church as Christ's bride - the image of Eve also as the
woman and mother metaphorically.

But then all women must also look at themselves and
try to lead as holy a life as a woman, mother and wife
and live with Christ's living word not only as a commodity
in their antique or contemporary bookshelves.


The Kingly Red-Rose hem
of Jesus Christ was made
at the beginning of time,
even long before God and Him
decided to create a whole clan
of angels to help that man
not with self-appointed and
under snake-oil anointed
entangles and now He, 

who has an infinite host of unlimited
power paired with His every holy Name
enforces a ban on those, who
rather are concerned with a 
fake tan or golden bangles
and who put on Him and His own family
purposefully false shame and blame,

because it was them, who refused over and again
to kiss in heaven Jesus kingly robe's hem, who hijacked
 ships through piratery,
but He ends finally the tradition
of Pagan holiness' abolition and puts wrong
right and ends the unholy power
and principalities' fight even in His own
worldwide community and in His vicinity.

Honestly, even some poor Gaelic
poets translated into English seem to have
lost the plot, when they tied in their interpretation
of the one holy nation on all the wrong ends at
dawn that was never at all golden and noble in its intention 
on their stolen ship with the evil clone captain called Hook
in murky waters the false knot 
as the Holy Rose is alone the Son of God begot,
Jesus Christ, 

and whosoever says does in this serious matter lie, is simply
a heretical spy with a cone and spiritual crook, 
and does Jesus and Mary Magdala their
holy truth deny -  their own little family
that has been attacked and murdered over and again
as the doubtful Thomases do out of their own
little selfish pityful reason and out of high treason
 even the existence
of Jacob and Zara-Zarai defy.

And by the way, who do you trance-dance scryers
and hazel wand for money liars turned at times
Merlin friars really fool but yourselves, by putting one
twisted myth after the other again for money instead
of the Book of Jesus into the European and
what is left of worldwide monastery and castle bookshelves
and from Ireland to Italy to China to Africa to Switzerland and even
Australia and India and Mermaidia by trying to let disappear
the traces of the eternal wedding band and pouring aromatic oils after
a man-made recipe over your self-crowned and incensed
head?!


Do you really think that Jesus will indefinitely
let you get away with your poisonous silver or golden chalice, from
which you even at His Holy Eucharist mockingly
drink with utmost malice- then you do indeed indefinitely in His ever-seeing
eyes to your lowest point sink as you refuse His kind invitation
from His living truth to feed. 

And your betrayal of your spiritual gifts that you have
once received -  NOT by your own work and initiation
but by God's grace alone to heal all illusionary
and your own created rifts, is the proof that you never
gave up your Druid's or Egyptian or whatnot Pagan cone
and voodoo doll and greedy pilgrims' toll even under God's house's roof,

as you put yourself in scene as a visionary more or less
secretly for the babylonian
whore, who anyway loves only all things obscene, and gives
out only at face-value noble prizes and pompous poetry anthologies
like in 1936 that make one wonder, whether a self-appointing
elite wants to put by its own choice a whole country in one
voice under the rule of evil and mocks even the devil with his
number - as you were always looking in vain for Jesus' ship filled
with His treasures yonder, and thus put on His Name 
your own victims' blood stain;

and for too long you did ponder to still reach His for you
mysteriously hidden ship
on time as once too often have you thrown at God
and His holy family your filth and grime and have
committed even as a close family member or friend
against us numerous an appalling and vicious and 
malicious crime - 

His ship was never a real one on earth in the physical
sense anyway as hidden it is from those, who do not
believe in His Infinite light's ray, and rightly so, as you 
showed over and again that you did God's and Jesus'
and His own family betray and went from holiness
in your own kitchen hearth astray.

Putting on some tacky boots and to pose like a whore
in a port with silver or gold in its name might bring you in 
secret circles for money some sad smoke and mirror fame but it won't last
as you might be written out of the book of life for having once
too often stabbed in the Holy See a holy soul, who dared to fulfill
for God and Jesus their holy role in the back with your ritual knife,
but short-lived is the life even of your witches' kitten as lies have ultimately
short and weak legs and die fast as back at you come all the curses
manifold of your curses that you spill out with your evil streak, 
and it won't be you, who will laugh last, as nobody will, when
emerges, how many lives you did in reality kill,

and although you will be the first one at the first
sign of persecution to leave the sinking ship like a rat
you will be in the queue for the heavenly ship back home
to God last as you are not even willing to share 
from your heart with the poorest of the poor, who do more
than you fast,
and you do not at all about Jesus and His family
care but you cannot hide from the heavenly
throne as everywhere might be hidden in your
community a truly holy priestly drone, 

who is exorcising without you even knowing
your fake spotlight glowing of your smoke and mirror
story that was never written to God's glory.
And it is certainly not suitable for holy children
in Balamory nor in a Catholic Sunday school or parish rectory.

Funny that, how after a while of reaching into the 
darkest pit one smells even in rain and against
the strongest wind every single bat and rat,
who are as fallen angels their heavenly contract breaching, and
sell their souls to the highest bidder and
are obsessed with the delusion that it is them,
who are in charge of mind intrusion and 
of any kind of spiritual infusion.

Ha! Who do you think gives us mortals and even the once
anointed and even the fallen gods and goddesses greatest power -
 it is God and Jesus in the Holy Trinity, and they were from the beginning
of time the mustard seed sower all in one, and next to 
the ONE GOD there is none.

HE gave us power to heal all wounds and afflictions
of man and each of us knows, what we have done with our
abilities and gifts and whosoever repented every single sin
even the slightest even in the blackest darkness up to heaven
glows, even though Jesus is being treated still by many
as spiritual pus.

And kept in many a location and always and again
rewritten has been safely and precisely by Jesus and Mary
Magdala with their children and those chosen by God from 
the descendants of Abraham and Sarah the complete
holy family story omnibus. And this time it is even published
already for free and is distributed invisibly to those, who cannot hear 
nor see in the ways of Jesus, amongst His Holy Rose See.
And that is free also of any kind of membership fee and also
not necessary is in His court any skill involving a tee.

And those, who like as a hobby as clergy Cross word:
It would be a nice gesture, don't you think, as Christ's
representative on earth as a shepherd to teach your flock
that from now on the key of the rock is to carry each other's
cross and to help one's neighbour with their faith, hope and 
trust's loss and then they will see His Infinite light and feel
in the mysteries that He entrusts us in the Holy Eucharist
His true power and might, and that'll be the end and the first
and last word to the Anti-Christ.

Jesus Christ was, is and ever will be the only true King,
who will always with His true friends to God's glory sing,
and He wears for His enemies invisibly but for His friends
undoubtedly with eternal love and devotion His indestructable
wedding ring as on His heavenly finger it reads that He is to Mary Magdala
her beloved Baali, and on hers that she is to Him His Ishti.

God knew that only Jesus and Mary Magdala were willing
to lead home to Him man from the altar and from the pew 
without killing and without using even the slightest magic power 
and without on Him to trample,
as simply to live and lead on Jesus' path free of wrath
by example with true love in purity and free of sin against His next of kin 
is all what is needed for God's blueprint of His creation and they are
the proof that it does exist and that the one holy nation
under God's worldwide roof is not a delusion,

and now their friends are breathing out with a big sigh,
as they already know even without mind's intrusion
that the hour of His return is nigh. 
They have seen and heard the signal of His ship
and His landing, and that does not need at all a
complicated cable broadbanding. In fact the connection
between the true apostles was and always will be intact
by God's grace and in His direction alone, and He decides,
when and where His mysteries and secrets we are to
dispatch - and He won't allow anymore  dragon babies'
anywhere to hatch as He has had once too often by the
demoness to suffer from a bad spell and patch. And He 
knows that all the blind eggs and bombshells dropped
by traitors in His family do never His holy family's souls' DNA
match.

Jesus says: I AM the Red Rose from Alpha to Omega,
and I rule the world with an iron sceptre with the authority
of Yehovah and as Jeja I now will teach you, what that means
and what happens miraculously, if against each other all evildoers
and traitors and annihilators, and every former sister and brother
 to me at the heavenly judgment court
to save their own skin spill their rotten beans.
You have only yourself to blame, if on your own name 
now instead of  God's and mine and of Mary Magdala and my
true friends will be put all the right blame and shame.




AMEN

Saint Stephen I (Hungarian: I. (Szent) István) (Latin: Sanctus Stephanus) (Esztergom, 967/969/975 – 15 August 1038, Esztergom-Szentkirály[1][2][3] or Székesfehérvár, Hungary), born Vajk, was Grand Prince of the Hungarians (997–1000) and the first King of Hungary (1000–1038). He greatly expanded Hungarian control over the Carpathian Basin during his lifetime, broadly established Christianity in the region, and is generally considered to be the founder of the Kingdom of Hungary. Pope Gregory VII canonized Stephen I, together with his son, Saint Emeric of Hungary and Bishop Gerard of Csanád, on 20 August 1083. Stephen became one of the most popular saints in Hungary, and his birthday is celebrated as a state holiday commemorating the foundation of the nation.

[edit] Early years

Saint Stephen I in Budapest
He was born as "Vajk"[4][5] in the town of Esztergom[4]. His father was Grand Prince Géza of Hungary[4]; his mother was Sarolt[6], daughter of Gyula of Transylvania [7] a Hungarian nobleman who had been baptized in Greece [8]. Though Sarolt was baptized into the Orthodox Christian faith at her father's court in Transylvania [9] by the Greek bishop Hierotheos,[6][10] she did not persist in the religion[11]. According to his legends, Vajk was baptized a Christian by Saint Adalbert of Prague.[12][13] He was given the baptismal name Stephen (István) in honour of the original early Christian Saint Stephen.[14] The baptised name was possibly chosen on purpose, as it means not only "crown" as mentioned, but also "norm, standard" in Hebrew.[15] So the mission of St. Stephen was to grant a norm to Hungary through the Holy Crown (also called the Doctrine of the Holy Crown). However, another reason could be thought of: that Stephen, as fiancé of a woman from the diocese of Passau, simply wanted to do honour to the then-major saint of Passau, Saint Stephen, after whom the Passau Cathedral is named up to today.
When Stephen reached adolescence, Great Prince Géza convened an assembly where they decided that Stephen would follow his father as the monarch of the Hungarians.[16] This decision, however, contradicted the Magyar tribal custom that gave the right of succession to the eldest close relative of the deceased ruler.
Stephen married Giselle of Bavaria[4], the daughter of Henry II the Wrangler[4] in or after 995.[17] By this marriage, he became the brother-in-law of the future Henry II, Holy Roman Emperor. Giselle arrived at her husband's court accompanied by German knights.[18]

[edit] Ruling prince of the Hungarians

In 997, his father died and a succession struggle ensued.[16] Stephen claimed to rule the Magyars by the principle of Christian divine right, while his uncle Koppány, a powerful pagan chieftain in Somogy, claimed the traditional right of agnatic seniority.[18] Eventually, the two met in battle near Veszprém and Stephen, victorious, assumed the role of Grand Prince of the Hungarians. Stephen's victory came about primarily thanks to his German retinue led by the brothers Pázmány and Hont[19]. The nearly contemporary deed of foundation of the Abbey of Pannonhalma clearly described the battle as a struggle between the Germans and the Magyars. Thus, Stephen strengthened his power in Transdanubia, but several parts of Hungary still did not accept his rule.

According to Hungarian tradition, Pope Silvester II, with the consent of Otto III, Holy Roman Emperor, sent a magnificent jeweled gold crown to Stephen along with an apostolic cross and a letter of blessing officially recognizing Stephen as the Christian king of Hungary. Later this tradition was interpreted as the papal recognition of the independence of Hungary from the Holy Roman Empire. The date of Stephen's coronation is variously given as Christmas Day, 1000 or 1 January 1001.
Stephen I is closely tied to the Crown of St. Stephen and the Doctrine of the Holy Crown which marks a unique tradition of the Kingdom of Hungary. According to Hartwick's legend, during his coronation Stephen dedicated the crown to the Holy Virgin, thereby sealing a contract between God and the crown (which is therefore considered a "holy" crown). This contract is also the basis for the Doctrine of the Holy Crown and the basis for the Apostolic Kingdom of Hungary. The actual crown which survives today was probably never worn by the king himself as it has been dated as originating in the 12th century. The origin of the crown, however, is hotly disputed.

[edit] First King of Hungary

King Stephen's statue in his hometown, Esztergom
According to the much argued Chronicon Pictum, the first king of the Hungarians is Attila the Hun. However, the codex repeats itself as Stephen I is also cited as the first king of the Hungarians. Also argued by historians is the exact meaning of the phrase in the Remonstrances to Emerick from St Stephen: "Regale ornamentum scito esse maximum: sequi antecessores reges et honestos imitari parentos", which translates to: "The greatest deed for the kingdom is to follow the old kings and to imitate parents". This might mean that Stephen is referring to the "old kings" which could only be Attila and Nimrod. It might also mean that the constitution of the kingdom itself was not employed by St Stephen, but by his ancestors.
What is confirmed is that, after (or just before) his coronation, Stephen I founded several dioceses, namely, the dioceses of Veszprém, Győr, Kalocsa, Vác, and Bihar. He also established the Archdiocese of Esztergom. Thus he set up an ecclesiastical organisation independent of the German archbishops. He also began to organize a territory-based administration by founding several counties (comitatus, megye) in his kingdom.
Stephen discouraged pagan customs and strengthened Christianity by means of various laws. In his first decree, issued at the beginning of his rule, he ordered that each ten villages would be obliged to build a church. He invited foreign priests to Hungary to evangelize his kingdom. Saint Astricus served as his adviser and Saint Gerard Sagredo as the tutor for his son Emeric (also rendered as Imre).
Around 1003, Stephen invaded and occupied Transylvania, a territory ruled by his maternal uncle, Gyula, a semi-independent chieftain. After this victory, Stephen organized the Diocese of Transylvania. In the next few years he also occupied the lands of the Black Magyars in the southern part of Transdanubia, and there organized the Diocese of Pécs. Shortly afterwards, it is believed that he made an agreement with Samuel Aba, the chieftain of the Kabar tribes settled in the Mátra region, who married Stephen's sister. In his brother-in-law's domains, Stephen founded the Diocese of Eger.
Finally, Stephen occupied the domains of Ajtony, a semi-pagan chieftain who had been ruling over the territories of the later Banat. Here Stephen set up the Diocese of Csanád.

[edit] External politics

A statue of the king in Miskolc
In his external politics Stephen I allied himself with his brother-in-law, the Emperor Henry II against Prince Boleslaw I of Poland, who had extended his rule over the territories between the Morava and Váh Rivers.[citation needed] Stephen sent troops to the emperor's army, and in the Peace of Bautzen, in 1018, the Polish prince had to hand over the occupied territories to Stephen.
Shortly afterwards, Stephen sent troops to help Boleslaw I in his campaign against Kievan Rus'. In 1018, Stephen lead his armies against Bulgaria, in alliance with the Byzantine Emperor Basil II, and collected several relics during his campaign.
After the death of Henry II ( 3 July 1024), Stephen broke with the German alliance, because the new Holy Roman Emperor, Conrad II claimed supremacy over the Kingdom of Hungary, while Stephen demanded the Duchy of Bavaria for his son Emeric who was the nearest relative of the deceased Emperor Henry II (who himself had been the last male descendant of the old dukes of Bavaria). In 1027, Stephen had Bishop Werner of Strasbourg, the envoy sent by Conrad II to the Byzantine Empire, arrested at the frontier. In 1030, the emperor lead his armies against Hungary, but Stephen's troops forced them to retreat. Stephen and Emperor Conrad II concluded peace negotiations in 1031, and the territories between the Leitha (Hungarian: (Lajta)) and Fischa Rivers were ceded to Hungary.

[edit] His last years

Stephen intended to retire to a life of holy contemplation and hand the kingdom over to his son Emeric, but Emeric was wounded in a hunting accident and died in 1031. In Stephen's words of mourning:
By God's secret decision death took him, so that wickedness would not change his soul and false imaginations would not deceive his mind – as the Book of Wisdom teaches about early death.
Stephen mourned for a very long time over the loss of his son, which took a great toll on his health. He eventually recovered, but never regained his original vitality. Having no children left, he could not find anyone among his remaining relatives who was able to rule the country competently and be willing to maintain the Christian faith of the nation. He did not want to entrust his kingdom to his cousin, Duke Vazul, whom he suspected to be following pagan customs. The disregarded duke took part in a conspiracy aimed at the murder of Stephen I, but the assassination attempt failed and Vazul had his eyes gouged out and molten lead poured in his ears. Without a living heir, on his deathbed, King St. Istvan (pronounced EESHT-vahn) raised with his right hand the Holy Crown of Hungary, (given to him by the pope because he had civilized the pagan Hungarians by the tenets and sacraments of the Holy Catholic Faith), and prayed to the Blessed Virgin Mary, asking her to take the Hungarian people as her subjects and become their queen. As though it were the first of many signs that she did accept this offer and position, King Stephen died on the feast day which commemorates the bodily assumption into heaven of the Blessed Virgin Mary, from where she continues to act with motherly mercy for the well-being of mankind, the Feast of the Assumption on 15 August, in the year 1038, at Esztergom-Szentkirály or Székesfehérvár, where he was buried. His nobles and his subjects were said to have mourned for three straight years afterwards.[citation needed]

[edit] His legacy

Following Stephen's death, his nephew Peter Urseolo (his appointed heir) and his brother-in-law Samuel Aba contended for the crown. Nine years of instability followed until Stephen's cousin Andrew I was crowned King of Hungary in 1047 to re-establish the Árpád dynasty. Hungarian historiography saw Peter and Samuel as members of the Árpád dynasty, and both are counted among the Árpád kings.
The Holy Right, the king's right hand
Shortly after Stephen's death, healing miracles were said to have occurred at his tomb. Stephen was canonized by Pope Gregory VII as Saint Stephen of Hungary in 1083, along with his son, Saint Emeric and Bishop Gerhard (Hungarian: Szent Gellért). Thus Saint Stephen became the first canonized confessor king, a new category of saint. He is venerated as the patron saint of Hungary, kings, children who are dying, masons, stonecutters, and bricklayers.
St Stephen is not mentioned in the Tridentine Calendar. His feast day was added to the General Roman Calendar only in 1631, and only as a commemoration on 20 August, the feast of Saint Bernard of Clairvaux. In 1687, it was moved to 2 September and remained there until the 1969 revision of the Roman Catholic calendar of saints. Then the feast of Saint Joachim on 16 August was moved and the date became available for another celebration, so the feast of Saint Stephen of Hungary was moved to that date, the day immediately after his death.[20] Some traditionalist Catholics continue to observe pre-1970 versions of the General Roman Calendar.
In the local calendar of the Church in Hungary, the feast is observed on 20 August, the day on which his sacred relics were translated to the city of Buda. It is a public holiday in Hungary.
The king's right hand, known as the Holy Right, is kept as a relic. Hungarians interpreted the incorruptibility of his right arm and hand - with which he had held the Holy Crown aloft from his deathbed when asking our Lady to be the Queen of the Hungarians - as a sign that the Blessed Virgin Mary had accepted the king's offer to her of the Hungarian people, and she remains officially their queen. The incorrupt arm was divided among European royalty, but the Holy Right of King Saint Stephen was placed in a town built solely for the purpose of keeping it, the town in Transylvania called "Szent Jobb", or Holy Right. Later, the Holy Right was transferred to where it is today, the Basilica of King Saint Stephen in Budapest. Apart from the Holy Right, only some bone fragments remain, which are kept in churches throughout Hungary. Hungarian Catholics honor the first king of their country with annual processions, at which the Holy Right is exhibited.
The canonization of Saint Stephen was recognized by Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew I of Constantinople in the year 2000.[10]
The Holy Crown, popularly attributed to St. Stephen, was removed from the country in 1945 for safekeeping, and entrusted to the United States government. It was kept in a vault at Fort Knox until 1978, when it was returned to the nation by order of President Jimmy Carter. It has been enshrined in the Hungarian parliament building in Budapest since 2000.

[edit] Quote

A miniature of the king from the Chronicon Pictum, 1360.
" My dearest son, if you desire to honor the royal crown, I advise, I counsel, I urge you above all things to maintain the Catholic and Apostolic faith with such diligence and care that you may be an example for all those placed under you by God, and that all the clergy may rightly call you a man of true Christian profession. Failing to do this, you may be sure that you will not be called a Christian or a son of the Church. Indeed, in the royal palace, after the faith itself, the Church holds second place, first constituted and spread through the whole world by His members, the apostles and holy fathers, And though she always produced fresh offspring, nevertheless in certain places she is regarded as ancient. However, dearest son, even now in our kingdom the Church is proclaimed as young and newly planted; and for that reason she needs more prudent and trustworthy guardians less a benefit which the divine mercy bestowed on us undeservedly should be destroyed and annihilated through your idleness, indolence or neglect. My beloved son, delight of my heart, hope of your posterity, I pray, I command, that at very time and in everything, strengthened by your devotion to me, you may show favor not only to relations and kin, or to the most eminent, be they leaders or rich men or neighbors or fellow-countrymen, but also to foreigners and to all who come to you. By fulfilling your duty in this way you will reach the highest state of happiness. Be merciful to all who are suffering violence, keeping always in your heart the example of the Lord who said: "I desire mercy and not sacrifice". Be patient with everyone, not only with the powerful, but also with the weak.
Finally be strong lest prosperity lift you up too much or adversity cast you down. Be humble in this life that God may raise you up in the next. Be truly moderate and do not punish or condemn anyone immoderately. Be gentle so that you may never oppose justice. Be honorable so that you never voluntarily bring disgrace upon anyone. Be chaste so that you may avoid all the foulness that so resembles the pangs of death.
All these virtues I have noted above make up the royal crown and without them no one is fit to rule here on earth or attain to the heavenly Kingdom..
"
–Excerpt from Saint Stephen's admonitions to his son Emeric.

[edit] Artistic representation

King Stephen of Hungary has been a popular theme in art, especially from the 19th century on, with the development of nationalism. Paintings such as The Baptism of Vajk (1875) by Gyula Benczúr and many statues representing the king all over Hungary testify to Stephen's importance in Hungarian national thought.
The last complete opera by the Hungarian composer Ferenc Erkel is István király (King Stephen) (1885). The best known representations of St. Stephen in music are Ludwig van Beethoven's King Stephen Overture, and the 1983 rock opera István, a király (Stephen, the King) by Levente Szörényi and János Bródy. Szörényi's Veled, Uram! (With You, my Lord!) (2000) was a sequel to István király.
The crown is represented in the painting of Edward Burne-Jones, started in 1881, The Last Sleep of Arthur in Avalon.
