Prophecy Is History in God’s Voice

My Friends, Brothers, and Sisters, I would like to share with you all, especially at a time of such great turmoil in the world, a page from my book Somos todos Profetas [We Are All Prophets] (1991), part of “The Apocalypse of Jesus for the...

Everyone Will Learn How to Govern Themselves One Day

There are still people who get bothered by hearing about the Apocalypse. However, it contains a myriad of brilliant passages, as if they were the most beautiful poetry despite their powerful message. Someone once said that the Divine Prophetic Book...

Apocalypse and Moderation

Rome — In October 1990, I started a new series of talks on the Super Good Will Radio Network* that addressed people in the informal and simple language we use when we are talking to a friend. That is why I called it “The Apocalypse of Jesus for the Simple-Hearted.”

In the ruins of ancient Rome, the Italian capital, Paiva Netto said a moving prayer with the Legionnaires of the Good Will of God from Portugal, who were there on April 2, 1994, to spread the ecumenical message of Holy Week: “Jesus Lives!”

 

Analysis of the Book of the Final Prophecies requires that we have tranquility, attention, persistence, and impartiality. It is easy to say: “Religions have already caused so many wars across the world. There are so many people who spread hate in the name of religion . . . Why would I waste my time reading the Apocalypse, a book that predicts the destruction of civilization?!”

Alziro Zarur

But who said the Apocalypse decrees the end of our planetary existence? The world is not going to end. On the contrary, in the Gospel-Apocalypse of Christ is precisely where we find God’s Sociological Plan for a beneficial change in humanity. The last book in the Holy Bible, in particular, foresees a profound social transformation, which originates from our good or not-so-good behavior. The better we behave, the more successful we will be in materializing this New Order on Earth, which is far superior to anything that human ideologies may aspire to, however praiseworthy they may be. Jesus warned that “He will reward each person according to what they have done” (The Gospel of Christ according to Matthew 16:27). The late founder of the Legion of Good Will, Alziro Zarur (1914-1979), who is always remembered, taught us: “In judging the past, the Divine Law determines the future of individuals, peoples, and nations.”

We create our own future. (There are those who complain a lot, but do little.) However, every day is the day to renew our destiny. Jesus, who is extremely fraternal, wrote this book, inspired by God, through John the Evangelist (The Apocalypse of Christ 1:1) to warn us, as if to say: “Behave yourselves, children! Because if you keep on throwing stones at each other, shooting each other, enslaving one another, disrespecting Mother Nature in a wicked way, thinking only of yourselves, then the planet may become unbearable for everyone.”

*Super Good Will Radio Network — This radio network was created by Paiva Netto and today its stations are linked via satellite and permanently connected to the Internet (www.boavontade.com).

José de Paiva Netto (1941-2025), a writer, journalist, radio broadcaster, educator, composer, poet, the President Emeritus and Consolidator of the Legion of Good Will, and Spiritual Leader of the Religion of God, of the Christ, and of the Holy Spirit. He was an effective member of the Brazilian Press Association (ABI) and the Brazilian International Press Association (ABI-Inter), a member of the National Federation of Journalists (FENAJ), the International Federation of Journalists (IFJ), the Union of Professional Journalists of the State of Rio de Janeiro, the Union of Writers of Rio de Janeiro, the Radio Broadcasters Union of Rio de Janeiro, the Brazilian Union of Composers (UBC), and the Academy of Letters of Central Brazil. He became an internationally recognized author in the defense of human rights and in his concepts of Ecumenical Citizenship and Ecumenical Spirituality, which, in his own words, represent “the cradle of the most generous values that are born of the Soul, the dwelling of emotions and of reasoning enlightened by intuition; the atmosphere that embraces everything that transcends the ordinary field of matter and comes from elevated human sensitivity, such as Truth, Justice, Mercy, Ethics, Honesty, Generosity, and Fraternal Love. In short, the mathematical constant that harmonizes the equation of spiritual, moral, mental, and human existence. Now, without the understanding that we exist on two planes―not only on the physical plane―it will be difficult to build a Society that is truly Ecumenical, Altruistic, and Solidary, since we would still be ignoring that the knowledge of Superior Spirituality elevates the character of creatures and, consequently, leads to the construction of the Planetary Citizenship.”
