| 0:00.0 | Welcome to our daily rosary meditation. Let's begin in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. |
| 0:05.0 | Amen. Let's call to mind all those we've promised to pray for. Today we meditate on the end of the world. |
| 0:15.3 | Because it's not the end of the world. However, we know from Scripture, tradition and the Magisterium, what will occur |
| 0:24.4 | before the end of time? And actually, these things are explained in the Catechism in paragraphs |
| 0:31.7 | 673 to 682. So in just five paragraphs, the Catechism unfolds all the things that will happen before |
| 0:40.6 | the end of the world. The first thing that must take place before the end of the world is that the |
| 0:48.1 | good news of Jesus Christ must be proclaimed to the whole world, proclaimed to all the Gentiles, which means non-Jews, |
| 0:57.8 | who are going to be converted so that the full number of Gentiles become Christian. |
| 1:04.9 | In Matthew chapter 24, Jesus said, |
| 1:07.6 | This gospel of the kingdom will be preached throughout the whole world as a testimony |
| 1:13.0 | to all the nations, and then the end will come. Then Jesus gives a sign that we are getting |
| 1:23.7 | close to the completion of step one. |
| 1:28.3 | He gives us a clue when he said, Jerusalem will be trodden down, which means under the control |
| 1:35.9 | of the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are finished. |
| 1:41.8 | Now Jerusalem was destroyed and the Jews were removed from Palestine in the |
| 1:49.2 | year 70 and again in 132 AD. In 638, Palestine was conquered and fell under the control of the Muslims all the way until the end of World War I |
| 2:05.0 | when the British took control of Palestine. Finally in 1948, the state of Israel was established. |
| 2:14.9 | And now the Jews have control of both Israel and the West Bank territories. So, for the |
| 2:24.7 | first time since 66 AD, Jerusalem is no longer under the control of the Gentiles, which Jesus said is the sign that the times of |
| 2:38.3 | step one is drawing to completion. Now, we don't know how long this will take, but it certainly |
| 2:46.0 | should give us something to think about. Our Father who art in heaven, hallow would be your name. Thy kingdom |
| 2:54.5 | come, thy will be down on earth as it is in heaven. Give us to stay our daily bread and forgive us |
