What Is the Apocalypse? - Bishop Barron’s Sunday Sermon
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 вер 2024
- Friends, there is something dark, threatening, and a little bit dire about the Gospel reading today, but through it, we see that death is not the final word. We’ve listened to the noise of the world for long enough, and now we need a new spiritual guide to lead us out of our complacency: Jesus.

As a Protestant, I’m finding Bishop Barron messages more relevant during these times as our evangelical churches are turning away from Christ and embracing politics………I’m so glad I can listen to him weekly…
Welcome, and God bless! 🙏💕💕🙏
Praise God!
I hear you, Fred! I had to walk out of a lot of Protestant churches because they weren't talking about Jesus anymore. I'm becoming a Catholic now thanks to Bishop Barron.

Welcome home, Annette.
God bless you and your family.
@@annette4660 welcome!!! You will not look back. Thanks to God.
I became catholic in 2017 and so much of it had to do with this man. Thanks be to god.
The same for me, this man is God's man I love him.
Bishop Barron's style of homiletics is thorough, riveting, refreshing, endearing and highly enlightening. Being a scholar par excellence, he's also humble and relatable. His ability to teach and break down complex issues is phenomenal. May God bless him as he continues to feed our souls.
G😍❤od bless&protect!Amen🙏
Ameni!
One among the most awesome comments this week. Thank you☆
He often has insight and he always has knowledge, but he doesn't often have a word from the Lord because he's working from his own study and intellect. To a lot of people that is still going to really wow them and maybe even penetrate but he's not tuning into the Holy Spirit and getting a word from God in his preparation and it shows.
@@Blue-cf6fe he is literally saying and repeating the lords word and then translating and explaining their meaning.
I am not catholic but this guy is intelligent and deeply profound. A true gem and breath of fresh air.
I’m a Messianic Jew. Other Jews are still waiting for The Messiah…I got tired of waiting.HE. IS HERE!!! 🙏☝️🔯✝️
I’ve never had these bible verses explained so clearly, so beautifully. Thank you Bishop for this Revelation, for removing the veil 🙏🏽
Awesome Comment☆
An amazing sermon! Bishop Barron, you always leave us more informed ... you clarify and broaden our Biblical understanding...thank you!
Amen!!!
Maybe you should read the Bible then and stop accepting others interpretation
@@domwings4329
What do you mean? It's obvious that the commenter has read the text(s) since he knows what is explained.
I'm a retired protestant minister mid-way across the Tiber, and I thought this was the best sermon on this text I've ever heard. Where many have gone veering off into craziness, you truly unveiled this passage. Thanks!
If you decide to fully cross, you are very well welcome!
@Randy Thompson: Welcome home!
Im the 3td to say WELCOME,God bless you
As some famous protestant once said, if the apocalyptic prophecies of the Messiah's first coming were proved to be literal, and the allegorical views of the paganized Jews proved false, we have in that strong evidence that Revelation and other second advent prophecies are also literal.
The Jews are still waiting on the First to allegorical happen. You don't want to be in that number when the saints come marching in, cause after the Second there will be no Third. Call it crazy if if it makes you superior, but.
My name is Dismas Peter from Tanzania, always following your sermons daily, thank you Bishop for your good work. My catholic faith has been renewed and strengthened through your sermons I receive daily through Word on Fire. I started following you on EWTN before you became a Bishop. May Our Lord bless you.
God bless you!
Peace be with you brother
Cheers from west Michigan
@@BishopBarron may God bless you Bishop with a long and healthy life, so that you can win more souls for His glory. Amen.
Peace be to you and all the Christians in 🇹🇿 Tanzania and the rest of Africa. From a 🇯🇲 Jamaican in New York, 🇺🇸 USA.
@@BishopBarron why should we believe all this? No proof whatsoever. The jouz own the world they can make you the catholic church disappear in no time but they don t .why?
What a beautiful explanation and interpretation of one of the “scariest” books in the Bible! Yet, Jesus shows us not to be afraid, for it (Death) will not be The End, but rather an unveiling of the real and everlasting Truth. The Truth that Our Savior has risen from the grasp of Death, as He predicted He would, and more powerfully, if we follow His Way and His Truth, WE TOO shall overcome Death and rise up to met Him. It’s almost profoundly simple, to me, at least! God Bless you, Bishop Barron! You have been gifted to speak His word…and you do it so well!! Much love to you!
This may be the most powerful homily/sermon I have ever heard the great preacher, Bishop Barron, give. Thanks and God bless you!
I agree! It was like a light bulb went off above my head. So powerful. Thank you, Bishop Barron!!

JESUS IS LORD AND KING FOREVER☆
HE HAS OVERCOME☆
Anyone with children or grandchildren in Faith Formation should strongly recommend viewing this video before Mass, or after. It will save them (and you for them) hours and years of anxiety. God Bless you, Bishop Barron!
@Amelia: Revelation is no more frightening than Daniel or Ezekiel. Besides, if you read it with hope you’ll get a lot more out of it than reading it with fear.
You always make so much sense out of God’s word. You have taken a gospel reading that I always thought was the physical end of the world and made it into GOSPEL-(good news)! Love you Bishop Barron
That's a great comment☆
I never considered the meaning of these words of Jesus in this way. My eyes have opened and the veil has fallen away.
@@junacebedo888
So what do you think the LORD, the real Jesus without the dark glasses will be doing?
Bishop Barron delivers a homily that reaches my core. I thank you Bishop. God bless.
Let us continual to pray for the poor souls that consistently give Bishop Barron a thumbs down. Imagine what King David was experiencing as he wrote the Psalms. Keep it up Bishop you’re making a difference.
Right. And they’re people in the church.
Well, we love Him, respect him and appreciate Him very much.
♥️🙏
I find that I cannot get enough of Bishop Barron's interpretations of Christianity/Catholicism. He takes words that I have heard my entire life and brings them into a new reality. He is truly led by Christ and brings a powerful message for these times.
Wow! Never heard it this way! So amazing! It makes sense! God bless you Bishop Barron for enlightening us again and again1
This is one of the best sermons...probably ever. I would like to perhaps push it a little bit further to say that not only would the Jews have the veil pulled back in revelation in their generation, but that all Christians must have the veil pulled back every generation. All of the things that past generations used for navigation and basic survival (including politics I might add) are all inherently good things that God wants us to use for our benefit and His glory. This is certainly true in our generation. We must beware that should we become so attached to the goods of this world that we forget the very foundation of those goods, (which is Jesus [John 1:3]) than we live in a generation that must have the veil drawn back, yet again, for us all to see who is reality and goodness itself. I would argue that this has been necessary for every generation. What is one of the key principles of us having this veil pulled back? Among other methods, I believe that the most certain one is Holy Suffering...offering up to God our spiritual and physical tragedies. You'd be surprised how well that works. Look to Him on the Cross the next time you go to Mass and gaze at His suffering; His suffering that redeemed the world.
God bless you all and God bless you Bishop Barron.
Once again Bishop Barron unlocks some of the mystery of scripture, enabling an ordinary lay person like me to understand God's word in a profound way. God bless you Bishop Barron 🙏☦️🛐
I'm 62. Finally, for the first time in my life I hear the Apocalypse explained in a way that, YES, makes sense. Bishop Barron, you are a blessing to the world.
Bishop Barron's homaly is so refreshing and inspiring. Thank you
*"We Christians who received the message of the Ressurection, we have received apocalypses to reveal the deepest truth of things and now we need to govern our lives by this new power."* - BISHOP BARRON
I never thought about this. We are blessed to be Catholic's. Amen
Brilliant . I look forward to Sundays when I know Bishop Barron will preach the Sunday Gospel .
Clearly explained...onward to 2022
AMEN! ❤️
When Bishop said " in fact, the corrupted political powers have used the fear of death to do the dirty work for eons" You know this is the light of life, the true courage of mankind!
I always understand scripture so much better after listening to your homilies and this one was no exception. Brilliant as always.
All I can say is wow. Thank you Bishop Barron. Holy Spirit, give me my Spiritual GPS.
12:05 "God's love is more powerful than death and more powerful than all those institutions that are based upon the fear of death."
I've never understood this scripture before! And also, your explanation of the words "apocalypse" and "revelation" in conjunction with the scripture really helped me. Bishop Barron, you provide such a needed service to this community, and I hope you know how appreciated you are.
Everytime I went to the church and hear other priest's sermon, I always think what would Bishop Barron deliver for this Gospel reading. But I always think of the mass as where God is present. Being born in the Philippines, out Catholic faith is deeply set on us. However, we do not have serious and charismatic catechist teacher like Bishop Barron. So we are always at loss and there is a time that I was totally lost on what is the meaning of Eucharist. Perhaps, many of the Catholic lay people are also in the same dilemma. Hence what I observe most of the people who attend to mass without any forethought about what the mass means end up missing the whole point of it. And add to that is the absence of good GPS which will guide us. Hence, a lot will fall to evangelical denomination without realizing that they are turning from the real church who has been true to Christ's word and celebrating what Christ wanted us to do. The moment I realize the importance of the Holy Eucharist which was supplemented by the teaching videos of Bishop Barron, it gave me a new meaning on what it is. Once again, you are a God gift Bishop Barron...
WOW. What joy you reveal, Bishop Barron, in teaching this nuanced unveiling as Good News rather than end times frightening news. The shift magnifies the power of the Scripture and its impact on 21st century Catholic catechesis. What a spiritual Father you are to refocus us in Jesus' resurrection wherein the reordering of all the 'signs' previously bound by the power of death now fall out. This is high praise by which Catholics close out our liturgical year---not with frightening foreboding, but awe & gratitude for the glorious truth revealed in Jesus' death & resurrection. Profoundly taught. Praise God who speaks through you, Bishop Barron.
That's an awesome Comment☆
Thank you so much for your sermon today. I have been feeling such anxiety with current events especially a mom of such little kids. I feel now a sense of peace due to watching this video.
@@user-wn1un7xx6i begone, bot
"...It was the dying and rising of Jesus that pulled back a veil to reveal the deepest truth of things that God's love is more powerful than death..." Bishop Robert Barron, thank you so much for sharing your reflections, it is a word of support for me today. May Lord bless you and keep you!
Thank you from a born New Yorker lost seeking God's harbor Your a great navigational aid ! Heaven ho!
Matthew 27:50-54 (NIV) 50 And when Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, he gave up his spirit. 51 At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook, the rocks split 52 and the tombs broke open. The bodies of many holy people who had died were raised to life. 53 They came out of the tombs after Jesus’ resurrection and went into the holy city and appeared to many people.
54 When the centurion and those with him who were guarding Jesus saw the earthquake and all that had happened, they were terrified, and exclaimed, “Surely he was the Son of God!”
Bishop Barron, thank you so much. Your sermon on the apocalypse helped me and I am sure thousands, of a better understanding of this topic. GOD bless you and your ministry always.
This is the best and clearest reflection on Revelation/today’s Gospel I’ve ever heard! Thank you !!!☺️ And prayers always!
Padre gracias, gracias, gracias ! Bendiciones ! Saludos cordiales desde Cd de Mexico
Jesus Christ
Thank you, now I understand, I will never fear apocalypse, instead I will love it
AMEN
Great homily. Love from Vietnam.
Thank you Bishop,

I am at great peace now from watching ur homily Thanks
Thank you, Father Barron, for clarifying that the "The Holy Spirit is our Sun, Moon, and Stars".
What a powerful sermon. It certainly fits what is happening in the western countries right now. Powerful forces eliminating individual freedoms, it is a very frightening time, and maybe a time to double down on the story and meaning of the Resurrection of Jesus. ♥️✝️
Our family wants to thank you Bishop Barron for your spiritual homily today.
What a powerful and revelatory talk
It is refreshing to hear true interpretation of scripture and what it means in the midst of the crackling of the voices of fools crowding the internet.
That was a good one.
And also with you Bishop Baron. Peace be with you
I love listening to Bishop Barron!
Thank you Bishop Bishop Barron.
Bishop, I wish Word on Fire Ministries would run workshops to help other bishops teach like you do!
I love the Bible and think it is Living Word. Not only because it happened but because it still happens.
May the Holy Spirit continue to open our eyes and ears through your works Bishop Barron. Today's message is a much needed revelation in current times.
"The word literally means... TAKING AWAY OF THE VEIL"
Thank you Bishop Barron. it all adds up
A homily to digest slowly!
The great unveiling makes more sense to me. There is so much going on in our world now, I don't think people are paying attention. We should be flocking to the churches (even if you attend services online, in this age of Covid).
Love your sermons every Sunday!
We need you as Pope!!!
God bless You 🙏
Thank you, Bishop Baron
Jesus, Mary and st. Joseph graciously grant us knowledge and wisdom. Ps 16:5, Mk 13:31
Amen, I say to you,
“Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.”
"But of that day or hour, no one knows, neither the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father."
😇Mercy o Lord, I trust in You.
God bless you B Barron!!
Pure Gold.
Thank you, Bishop Barron for this beautiful homily. And of course, following Jesus’ words about the Temple, there was the literal destruction of the Temple and the city of Jerusalem in 70 AD.
Wow! What a powerful exlpanation of today's readings. Thank you, Bishop Barron.
Truly enjoyed your homily. A week late, but a strong message and much information to reflect . Thank you Bishop Barron.
Thank you Bishop Barron for explaining scripture in an eloquent, succinct way. May God bless you. Pax Christi.
This homily has a great insight, that a new order of the ages dawned with the Resurrection of Christ, which gives us new purpose in life now while we await the End of Time.
Praise God for all of you who spread the truth and word of hope.
What a hope we have in Jesus Christ!
Utterly excellent.
Excellent.
This guy is amazing. What a talent for evanelization.
Thank you Bishop for ripping away the veil of the hidden meaning of Our Lord's message. It is a clear and powerful Wake Up call.
Thank you so much dear bishop for sharing the gospel and what jesus meant. Thank you for teaching us the meaning of apocalypse. Stay blessed always.
WOW! Tq tq tq Bishop Barron. God bless you from Malaysia.
I needed this today! Current politicians are using the fear of death and it is absolutely wrong!
Yeah to the detriment of good things in the world.
Best teaching I’ve heard on this topic! A lot of powerful theology packed into 15mins
Thank you. God Bless You✨✨✨
« The pulling back of the veil », symbolic language made real at the hour of Jesus’ death by the tearing of temple’s veil from top to bottom, a moment in history where history and symbolism come together.
Levis Shalom
Bishop Barron, This is an important message for all. Thank you.
So brilliant Bishop Baron. Thank you!
I navigate by the Sun often. I navigate my LIFE via God-Triune alleluia amen.
Once again I am edified by this homily. thank you
Great sermon Bishop Barron, very well explained. Thank you and may GOD bless and protect you always. Stay safe. ➕❤
Thank you for the great explanation Bishop 👍
Thank you Bishop Baron, your homily(ies) open my mind and give such clarity and wisdom, and leaves me with so, so much to contemplate - Come Holy Spirit Come!
Thanks much for this video.
Bishop Barron---telling it like it is! Thank you!
This is so powerful and filled with wise interpretation of scripture that I am scripting it to commit it to memory for use on my protestant brothers and sisters (and some of my Catholic friends). Thank you, Bishop Barron. It also deepens my understanding of Christ's mission and thereby strengthens my faith.
WOW. This is so edifying, to say the least. Thanks, Bp. B...regrads from the Phils
Wow this is not the same message I heard at Church this morning. This was much more powerful and insightful.
“For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall understand fully, even as I have been fully understood.”
1 Corinthians 13:12
Thank you. Wisdom came to me through this sermon.
I often disagree with Bishop Barron, but this is him at his very best. When he drops the "agenda," he can be excellent.
I was always confused about the Apocalypse and the book of Revelations. Thank you for putting it into perspective. It is the pulling back of the Veil. Revealing Unconditional Love for all of us. We in turn are to follow and Love each other! Now it makes sense. Thank you… ☺️
🙏🙏🙏 I love Father God and thank Him for Bishop Barron 💚💚💚💚
The software is continually improving, but sometimes GPS gives unclear directions and requires a navigator to interpret for the pilot, thank you, Bishop Barron, for being that navigator for our spiritual GPS.
A powerful sermon/homily by Bishop Barron. Thank you. God bless.
Beautiful, profound, and timely. You do possess the gift of making the Gospel "good news"! Have listened to it twice already today. Thank you, Bishop!
