3.5. The Word of the Lord to the Peoples (the Nations of the Earth)

I come as Shepherd from heaven, as it is written that I should work, coming; and I must find only one flock, oh, only one, not two, not three, not more, but only one. Do you hear what the Shepherd from heaven says? I say this because a thousand years ago there took place upon the earth a judgment which no one understood then in its working, for it was the separating of the goats from among the sheep, and a great multitude and ever greater drew to the left, and the flock of orthodoxy remained small for Me; and then there set upon it from everywhere the work of antichrist and heresies of every sort in all the times, and hostile peoples to strike it and to bite from the body of this country; but My Romania has remained an orthodox country at the price of many bloody sacrifices of its voivodes and of the sons of the right faith; and behold Me, I chose it to be My host of My coming now, at the end of time, for The Word of God comes to it, Christ comes to the bride to shepherd her and to cleanse her and to renew her through grace and through faith; and behold, it is My country and I come to shelter it from everywhere and to keep under My mantle the one who did not sell her faith and her name through ages of suffering of every sort; and now I have her as an example among the peoples, and I call the kindreds of the earth to My table full of the word of My mouth, of the voice of the Shepherd Who comes to the sheep and searches them out and binds their wounds and heals their walking with the cross, oh, and the curtain of the partition must fall and I must have only one flock.
