Special report:
An angel and a prophecy?
(@copyright, not for reproduction or re-distribution)
By Michael H. Brown
Back in 1988, a nun I knew who had just relocated suddenly got the idea to get a new coffee pot.
It was a little odd: while she had a pot that was getting a bit too old, it was no pressing matter; she hadn't been thinking of getting another so soon, and yet now she had this compelling notion.
So it was that she headed to a store in Omaha, Nebraska, that sold coffee pots and walking up to it, was approached by a young stranger -- a man, who wanted to hand her something.
Who was this?
What was this?
A pamphlet. He handed her a 23-page booklet. She described the fellow to other sisters as the most handsome man she had ever seen. Smiling. Full of life. Everything vibrant and radiant about him.
So he handed her the booklet, which she took and glanced down at. When she looked back up, he was gone. No goodbye. He had left -- virtually vanished, oddly, as you hear in so very many of those mysterious stranger accounts.
Immediately, she thought it might be an angel -- the way everything occurred and felt and looked. I remember another nun, Mother Angelica of EWTN, recounting a similar encounter with a mysterious handsome man to me -- not the same one, I wouldn't surmise (hers was in Italy), but reminding us of Scripture where it speaks of angels appearing this way. (Hebrews 13: "Let love of the brethren continue. Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for by this some have entertained angels without knowing it." Mystery strangers.) I've had my own experiences.
Similar, except in this case, something was left behind: that pamphlet.
It wasn't just any pamphlet.
Recently I secured a Xerox copy of it. The cover bore a simple drawing of a tattered upside-down U.S. flag on a fractured pole and was entitled:
"The Fall of America."
That got my attention. Needless to say, I read it in one sitting, and it is what I would like to share here, with a few excerpts from it, in this "Special Report," for purposes of: discernment...
