Marian Intercession in Tewahido

   

I pray to God and my fellow brothers and sisters in Christ do so, for God is the Creator and the ONLY receiver of prayers. But God  could grant what He wishes! And He granted godhood to Moses in front of  Pharaoh/Exodus 7:1/

” And the LORD said unto Moses, See, I have made thee a god to Pharaoh: and Aaron thy 

brother   shall be thy prophet.”

  

   The same God also made

 1.        Abraham a prophet to 
        intercede  Abimelech to
        Himself/Gen 20:1-7/.

        While Abimelech was ABLE 
        (pure enough) to see God in dreams – 
        and  thereby DIRECT PRAYERS, he was  
        ordered by God to beseech Him indirectly via Abraham. Why did that happen?
        I speak of Abimelech's purity, because Pharoah (who vanished in Eritrean Sea) was not 
        pure enough to see God. For God needs pure heart to declare Himself even in dreams or 
        visions, and Abimelech had that heart! In fact He was innocent.

2.       Job an intercessor for his friends Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and 

       Zophar the Naamathite/Job 42:7-9/. Why God needed this INDIRECT prayer? Was 

        these men’s deed worthy enough to take their prayers to God? Why God need Job to

        be magnified, as compared to his friends?

When we come to St. Virgin Mary the story will be similar but a more vivid version. God was pleased to be named ”God of Abraham, God of Isaac, God of Jacob, God of Job...”. But for This Virgin, God is pleased  even to be called ”Son of Mary”. Isn’t that the prophecy ’God’ to be called ’Son of Adam, Son of Abraham, Son of David…’ fulfilled with our Lady? Aren’t you eating the Flesh and drinking the Blood of The Lord, to be saved? Where did He get that? She is a pure vessel, ineffable, and a tree with a fruit to nourish the hunger of all children of Adam! Isn’t the Lord called ’Son of Man’, [not ’son of Angel’], embodied in Her pure flesh? BTW the ’face of the Lord’ is exactly similar to Hers – this could be biologically justifiable claim/by face like ’ደም ግባት, ዉበት, …’/. For The Lord was born of Her without the need of a man, He is exactly like Her skin color and beauty. 

I wonder the beauty of the prophecy about Her in Isaiah 1:9

”Except the LORD of hosts had left to us a very small remnant, we should have been as Sodom, and we[all men] should have been like to Gomorrah.”

All men Adam, Abraham, Jacob, Isaiah, David,…saw God in dreams/visions because they loved Him better than other men. But The Virgin CONCEIVED HIM, TOUCHED HIM, raised Him and is called The Mother of God. Is there any wo/man claiming to love The Lord more than His Mother, a Mother with ONLY ONE SON? Who is closer to Him than Her? Who washed the Lord, God of Abraham? Who heard His childhood whispering closer to by ear?For whom God showed obedience, as a child while growing up? Who kissed the face of God? But St. Virgin Mary is His Mother and no other is closer to the Lord than Her!

 Then who is worthier to be heard more?

 Abraham(His prophet) or St. Mary(His Mother)? Who is worthier to intercede men, Job or St. Virgin Mary? Whom did God glorify more, Job’s truth or the flesh of Mary?


As Her Son, Who is the Savior of the world, is Her FRUIT of purity and greater than Her, even so is She the FRUIT of righteousnesses of Enoch, Noah,Abraham, David,.....Joachim and Anne, and She is greater than them, indeed.

 Is it not all this because that our Lady Virgin Mary is really deserving to be the mother of God? Amaze yourself by Her comments, in line with God/The Father person in Trinity/!!!

The Father spoke in clouds,

“This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; HEAR YOU HIM.” Matthew 17:5

“His mother said to the servants, Whatever he said to you, do it” John 2:5

Mind you She was not in Mount Tabor hearing the voice of God in clouds, neither was She in Jordan to be baptized in the hands of John the Baptist. But She knew it, for She is The Holiest Treasury who kept many holy secrets in Her heart. Luke 2:19 “But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart”.

She is PURE enough in heart to be a perfect VINE TREE on whom the FRUIT CHRIST did ripe.

A better spiritual understanding, would not crash The BIG PICTURE with incomplete fragments of Biblical sentences!

For me, I know myself, I am not worthy and neither do my prayers climb up to the Throne of God, The Most High! I need an intercessor, St. Virgin Mary – The Mother of God, and my  beloved Mother offered to me via John the Appostle at the last minutes in Golgotha /John 19:27/.

I haven’t seen any dreams or visions of God like Abimelech, who was INNOCENT enough to see God in dreams. That means I need Her better than Abimelech needs Abraham! If I were like St. TekleHaymanot, St. Arsema or St. George, whose spiritual victory pleased God, I could have prayed DIRECTLY to Him. I am not sure, if my DIRECT prayers are effective enough to help my case.

Fear if in case we may be found standing by the dragon in Revelation 12:13, when we comment against Her participation in Salvation.

13 And when the DRAGON saw that he was cast to the earth, he persecuted the WOMAN which brought forth the man child. 14 And to the WOMAN were given two wings of a great eagle, that SHE might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where SHE is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent. 15 And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the WOMAN, that he might cause HER to be carried away of the flood. 16 And the earth helped the WOMAN, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth. 17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with THE  REMNANT OF HER SEED , which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.”


I don’t know about you. JUDGE yourself! But I underline, let not insolence eat our hearts, even if we may see visions and dreams like Abimelech!
It would be an ETERNAL DISASTER, if we enthroned up ourselves in undeserving status and if finally the Lord rejects us.
11 And when the king came in to see the guests{of weeding}, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment: 12 And he said to him, Friend, how came you in here not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless. 13 Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness, there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. 14 For many are called, but few are chosen. Matthew 22:12

I conclude with a Tewahido proverb – ”Biblical words are golden beads, chew them wisely”. Another similar proverb ”Words {of Bible} are killers, interpretations are medicines”


May the Lord, God of Abraham, and Son of Virgin Mary send to us His Holy Spirit to discern scriptures. Amen.
