2.3. The Rending of the Body of the Church (the Year 1054)

I chose this country sweet to Me that I might come and work in it My coming of the end of time, for it was born as a people and a kindred together with My birth among men from the body of a Virgin mother two thousand years ago; and I set over it a little shirt of baptism, christening it with My name and with My love for it from the very making of the world, when it was the first little patch of earth come out from the waters, and from which I then took and built man from its clay; and I marked it as Mine that it might be the country of My coming upon the earth at the end of time, after two thousand years of a great name over it, a Christian country for two thousand years, known under this name for faith and for grace, suffering as its Lord did in all the days of persecution from enemies, from satan and from the time of every sort of the antichrist man, and remaining Mine and with Me under the glory of the right faith, passing through trials and not being shaken from the first stone of My church at its beginning; and behold it keeping My portrait upon its forehead, just as I, Jesus Christ, left My church and its life through My apostles of that time and through their followers afterwards at the beginning of the three hundred years of Christianity upon the earth, and through which the walking with the cross and with the first grace was kept; and My flock walked a thousand years under the banner of orthodoxy, and then a great multitude was torn from it, drawing aside, oh, and the flock of Christ remained tiny under the first rule of My church; and the Romanian country, My country of today through My coming to it as word over the earth, has remained My orthodoxy, the walking from the beginning of the flock of the right faith; and those drawn aside turned away and were torn into many flocks, and another thousand years have passed since then; and behold Me coming now upon the earth as word to call the scattered sheep and to shepherd them Myself, for there must be only one flock and only one Shepherd, oh, and I do not find only one flock, only one faith, for behold, I find unbelief, I find a casting off of faith, a casting off of orthodoxy, of the first rule of the walking of the flock of Christ; and My Romania has not changed its first creed, even if the deeds do not prove the same; but upon the forehead of this people is written an orthodox country, a church with the ordinance left from the fathers through church service and for the holy walking.
