| Jesus, the Savior of the World |
(The following is a guest article written by a Catholic friend named Brian who is a watchman of the Lord, a 'Voice crying out in the wilderness.'
-May God reward him for his efforts in preparing God's people for Thy Kingdom Come!)
Dear brethren in Christ “If you have ears, then, hear what the Spirit says to the churches” (Rev 3:6)
In 1931, Our Lord Jesus Christ spoke a few short words that are the key to understanding that our world is now in the days of the Book of Revelation. Seriously, I hear you ask?! Yes, seriously. It was a message as significant as telling Noah to build an ark; all the world’s people thought that Noah was nuts, during the years that Noah spent building it; would you be any different? I can hear the jokes: “That crazy guy just out of town is building a boat. We don’t even have any lakes around here, and his boat is massive! He’s a nobody around here; that’s why everybody calls him a No-er!”
Imagine the days of Amos the prophet (in the eighth century BC). Amos was a farmer; a hick from Hicksville! He travelled to a country called Israel, where the people thought they were living a great life. There were no wars with neighbours, the land was providing in abundance, and they were living the high life and feeling like they would live forever. What’s more, they even attended church services, religiously. “Go home country bumpkin, they said. We don’t need any prophets of doom. Take your sour message back home!” They insulted the farmer, who said he was sent by God; so, they named him God’s country bumpkin, saying, “You AM an OutSider, so we will call you AMos.” But the religious people were not religious at heart; they cared not for widows and orphans, but only for their own pleasure and entertainment. And God wiped that country off the face of the earth.
The Book of Amos (verse 3:7) informs us: “The sovereign Lord never does anything without revealing His plan to His servants, the prophets.” Jesus has told us His plans, and they are as drastic as in the days of Noah and Amos. But “Why?”, you ask. “Our world is not the same as in those days”, you say. “Surely God sees how we care for one another. The Carona Virus is a great example. We social distance. We obey the law and stay home when we are told. Some of us work as health professionals and care for those who get sick.” But God says “I see you caring for the hundreds of thousands who are dying from this virus. But many of you are caring only from selfish motives, to protect yourselves. And who is caring for the elderly you have hidden away in aged care homes. But worst of all is the abomination of over a hundred thousand of my children being murdered each day through abortion. I have many faithful children; they pray and fast and make sacrifices for the sake of others, trying desperately to save the souls of those who do not know me – though many think they do. I will save my faithful children from the dreadful days of destruction I am sending upon the earth. I will rid the earth of all the evil that I abhor.”
As a watchman of the Lord (Is 21:6, Ez 3:17), I share this document for your discernment. Are you one of God’s faithful people? If so, know that time is short. The aim of this paper is to tell you what little time is left, and how to arm you to save yourselves and your loved ones.
Many people quote Jesus’s words “No one knows the day nor the hour.” But Jesus was referring to the time of His return, which is not the subject of most current prophecy – though some people think it is. Rather, current prophecy is concerned with God’s response to each Christian’s prayer in the Our Father, “Your Kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as in heaven.”
God speaks well in advance, such as the prophet Micah saying that the Messiah would be born in Bethlehem, where Jesus was born around 800 years later. So, there is no need to examine the multitude of present-day prophets and false prophets. Instead, consider what God has revealed in the past, particularly in trusted apparitions of Jesus and Mary that shed light on our present time. Why Mary? Read on and see for yourself.
Apparitions of Jesus and Mary
Before speaking of specific dates in our time, take note of the momentum building to our time. There has been a distinct increase in apparitions of Mary in recent centuries. This is in keeping with what Jesus Our Lord has stated, that He seeks devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary “Because the love of this heart attracts souls to Me”.
In 1610, Our Lady of Good Success forewarned that in the 19th and 20th centuries there would be a breakdown of Godly customs, and that Satan will reign through Masonic sects. (The Freemasons were first formally established in 1717, in England, and are behind Marxism, Communism, and Modernism, all of which are a variation on atheism and treat man as his own God.)
In the years of Our Lord, apart from 1610, there appears very few widely reported apparitions of Mary, until 1830 in France (when Our Lady requested the Miraculous Medal), 1840 (when Mary requested the green scapular devotion to her Immaculate Heart), 1846 at La Salette (when Our Lady wept about troubling times to come, unfaithful clergy, and chastisements upon the world), 1858 at Lourdes (when God – through Mary - provided the healing waters to remind people of His faithful love), and 1879 at Knock - where God reminded us of the message of the Eucharist, with Jesus as the sacrificial lamb, and drew attention to Rev 5:6 “a lamb standing in the centre of the throne”.
In 1846 Jesus requested the red scapular devotion to His Sacred Heart, and in 1930 Jesus requested that Saint Sr Faustina promote devotion to the Divine Mercy, and Jesus said that if people do not enter by the door of His mercy, they will enter by the door of His justice.
In the 1900’s, the main event was the 1917 apparitions at Fatima, with the Miracle of the sun, the like of which has not been seen since ancient biblical times. Also noteworthy is Garabandal, with the miracles of Rosaries being returned to their correct owners – giving attention to the Rosary.
Now in the 21st century, there are numerous reported apparitions of Mary, around the world. There are also many statues of Jesus and Mary that are reported to be weeping blood, whereas in the 20th century they were usually weeping tears, such as Mary did at La Salette. The increase in apparition frequency, the weeping of statues, and the change from tears to blood, all indicate a building climax.
However, the above details do not indicate any specific timing. For this, it is useful to firstly review the apparitions associated with Fatima.
Fatima and related apparitions
Wikepedia states that all nine popes since 1917 (including Pope Francis) have expressed their belief in the authenticity of the Fatima apparitions.
Those apparitions included Mary’s 1917 statement that she would later appear to request the consecration of Russia to her Immaculate Heart. This provided time for the Church to prepare. On June 12th, 1929, Mary made her later appearance – together with the Divine Trinity (source: Fatima.org/about/Fatima-the-facts/the-consecration-of-Russia). Mary stated “the moment has come for Godto ask the Holy Father to make, in union with all the bishops of the world, the consecration of Russia to My Immaculate Heart.” The Fatima website states that the consecration did not promptly occur, and as a result, Our Lord appeared on August 19th, 1931, and said “make it known to my ministers that given they follow the example of the King of France in delaying the execution of My command, they will follow him also into misfortune.”
So, what happened to the King of France? In 1689, Jesus appeared to Marguerite Marie Alacoque requesting that the King consecrate France to The Sacred Heart. 100 years to the day, after the request, the consecration had not occurred, the French Republic arose, and France became an atheistic nation. The 100-year period is similar to Genesis Chapter 6, which indicates that Noah built the ark over a 100-year period; thereby giving humanity 100 years of warning before the flood. (Note: Protestant sites listed later in this paper strangely report a 120 year period.)
The Vatican website Vatican.va/roman_curia/congregations/cfaith/documents… in the document “The Message of Fatima”, states that:
- -Sr Lucia of Fatima personally confirmed that Pope John Paul II’s 25th March 1984 consecration of the world, with mention of Russia satisfied Mary’s request; and
- -the consecration of Russia did not occur in time to prevent Russia from spreading her errors throughout the world.
In contrast to the Vatican website, the Fatima website states that Lucia has repeatedly said that Mary’s request was NOT fulfilled in 1984, because there was no special ceremony of reparation specifically in regard to Russia, and because the Bishops of the world were not acting in concert with Rome - in their own dioceses. Mary’s 1929 request for the consecration of Russia required consecration by all the bishops of the world (potentially all bishops of all catholic churches, not just Roman Catholic bishops), on the same day and time in their own dioceses; this did not occur.
Other websites (e.g. Sensus Fidelum) indicate that a united consecration is unlikely to occur, possibly due to popes being blackmailed or due to infiltration of Freemasonry (members and/or ideology) into the magisterium (e.g. as stated by a USA woman who claims to be a former member of the Freemasons) – with the result that some bishops will refuse to perform the consecration. (For such bishops, an automatic excommunication or expulsion from the office of Bishop might ensure that all ‘bishops’ do perform the consecration.) Mary stated that Russia would either be an instrument of chastisement or of blessing, depending on when the consecration occurs.
In any event, it was in 1931 that Jesus indicated that the Magisterium’s delay in “execution” had already sealed their fate. Jesus used a noteworthy choice of words, given that the King of France was executed; as such, the same may be expected for the Pope, and such an execution has been revealed in the vision that is the third part of the 1917 secret of Fatima.
As such, we can expect a significant event to occur 100 years after the 1929 request, i.e. on June 12th2029. And we can expect this event to lead to an end to the papacy, or at least the papacy established by the true Christ. Incidentally, the King of France and other leaders were not immediately executed; as such, our Pope and others will likely be executed after June 12th 2029.

| “And sorrow, like a sharp sword, will break your own heart. (Lk 2:35)” |
“The True Story of Fatima” explains that consecration is a setting apart, and outlines the benefits of doing so. My analogy of this is that Pope John Paul II’s consecration of the world to the Immaculate Heart is like the prophet Samuel going to Jesse’s house and anointing all of Jesse’s sons, instead of anointing just David, as God instructed; thereby foiling God’s plans to reveal David as His chosen one. In a similar way, by consecrating the world, John Paul II has not achieved what God intends. God’s plan is for consecration to precede a miraculous intervention in Russia (like David killing Goliath or Our Lady of Hope stopping the Prussian army in 1870) that would result in Russia becoming a *“Catholic” country, thereby providing a witness to the world, leading to reunification of Christian churches – most especially the Roman Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, and the Anglican. The consecration of Russia is – therefore – a means of saving souls. Whereas the current delay may be saving temporal bodies but is at the cost of immortal souls across the world.
*Note: The Eastern Orthodox Church does not share all the Roman Catholic Church Marian dogmas. As such, conversion of Russia to RomanCatholicism (which is currently a minor religion in Russia) would be a miraculous means by which God increases devotion to Mary. However, it would be also miraculous for the Russian Orthodox Church to join in communion with the Roman Catholic Church.
Further Points about 2029 and Fatima
Just as France changed from being a Catholic kingdom to an atheistic republic, the end of the papacy opens the door to an apostate Church, foretold in the Book of Revelation, in conjunction with the rule of The Antichrist - prophesied to be Christ’s age (30 year old) when he comes to power (Is 3:4).
To prevent the above, Mary’s apparition messages called for repentance, penance, and a return to Eucharistic adoration; Mary warned of chastisements if her messages were not heeded. In regard to chastisements, the “Miracle of the Sun” at Fatima (and repeated at Aopke, Nigeria) included what witnesses saw as the sun hurtling towards the earth. This was potentially a forewarning of Rev 6:12-14 and several verses in Rev 8, e.g. verse 10 “A large star, burning like a torch, dropped from the sky and fell on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water.” Scientists have advised that these verses can all be attributed to a single comet, with fragments of that comet crashing into the earth.
Scientists have discovered a comet that was predicted to hit the earth in April 2029, the same year as the 100-year anniversary of Mary’s request for Russia’s consecration. Updated scientific advice is that the comet will be a very near miss event, which is still potentially close enough to cause the effects listed in Revelation chapter 6, if parts of the comet break off. Refer, for example to CNN’s article Apophis god of death, Four Comets, or to a You Tube clip containing a mix of faith message and scientific input https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G0q8vYzLno4. See also NASA’s plans.
The Apophis comet, expected in April 2029, is expected to be visible to the naked eye two years before then (in 2027), and visible by telescope two years before that (in 2025). So, we can expect increasing focus of mankind’s attention on that event and concern across the world about how close the comet will be; speculation, trepidation, and prophecieswhether Revelation chapter 6 (and – therefore – other chapters in the book of Revelation) are being fulfilled. This could lead to both an increase in church attendance and in persecution against the Church, as fear-based reactions.
On a related note, Is 24:1 tells us that the earth’s crust will shift in these last days. It is said that in an apparition, Jesus stated that “evil men” are planning to detonate nuclear weapons in an effort to cause an impact event, by shifting the earth’s axis – causing a change in the earth’s rotation.
Scientists name each comet. The CNN article above states that this comet is named “Apophis … an Egyptian serpent god hell-bent on devouring the sun”. This aligns with the dragon / serpent of Rev 12, particularly verse 4 that says the dragon sought to devour the child (Jesus, “the son” of God) as soon as it was born.
Websites stating that we are in the days of the Book of Revelation
There are various websites that outline what Jesus has said in the Gospels about the world’s situation in the “end times”, and those websites indicate a belief that we are in those times. See the following introductory YouTube clips:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iVSCc20aMa8&t=858s(CountdownToTheKingdom.com)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tTk_bGfHVjE&t=2s(Adventist World Radio)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JctvO0nvLwQ&t=627s(Prophetic Word, The End of Times, by Dr. Sandra Kennedy)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tTk_bGfHVjE&t=2s(Adventist World Radio)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JctvO0nvLwQ&t=627s(Prophetic Word, The End of Times, by Dr. Sandra Kennedy)
Those clips and the associated websites are informative, but I did not notice dates. Even so, a few observations are useful, largely based on the above clips. (Note: the last two clips both referred to a 120 period for Noah’s ark, whereas Genesis chapter 6 indicates a 100 year period.)
Jesus said that the end will come after the Gospel has reached the ends of the earth (Mt 24:14). In our modern age, it seems reasonable to believe we are either at that point or very close to it.
Jesus indicated that the world in the end times would be similar to the days of Noah (Mt 24:37). The above websites outline why they believe we have reached that point.
Although all the three sites referenced provide useful insight, the CountdownToTheKingdom site appears more accurate, is Catholic based, and speaks about God’s provision for His flock through these times. The web site’s speakers say that God wants every age to act as though the end is near, so that we have a fire for evangelisation. However, their above YouTube clip outlines why they believe we truly are at the end of this present age, with statements of an extreme darkness of our age or that the coming of The Kingdom is imminent, from a century of papal statements (from Pope Leo XIII to Pope Francis) and statements by Catholic mystics. They warn of a growing apostacy in the Church, and include Vatican approved prophecies from around the world stating both that we are in the days of The Antichrist and that Jesus is coming in our lifetime.
Jesus spoke of the end times being like a woman in labour, and that the end will come suddenly; such that early warning signs will be quite different from the final labour. Just as Braxton Hicks contractions often precede childbirth, current world upheavals will be mild compared to what is prophesied; e.g. we currently have poor crops due to a world scale loss of topsoil, whereas in the final stage, we will have poor crops because of shifting of the earth’s crust.
The shift in crust is elsewhere prophesied to be very quick (such as in an hour or a day), and move countries from hot climates to cold and vice versa. The time to prepare for this is now, because we can already see the Braxton Hicks signs. (There is also positive prophecy about this crustal shift.)
Other Significant Timing
God clearly chose St John of Kronstadt (born 1829) to figure in the subject matter of this paper. He was known as “the pastor of all Russia”, a Russian Orthodox archpriest (and Russian Synod member, canonised by the Russian Orthodox church), with reported healing miracles while he was still alive!
St John’s 1901 vision, as shown on YouTube, is about the end times. The first part of the vision included the following years being written on a wall: 1913, 1914, 1917, 1922, 1924, and 1934. This seems to represent years of world impacting miracles (though I don’t know about 1913) as follows:
1914: The “First Battle of the Marne” (in France) was considered miraculous as it changed the course of WWI (after ongoing Allied defeats); it involved heavily outnumbered allies routing the Germans (reminiscent of Jos 5:14). This was also the year of the Miracle of the WWI Christmas truce.
1917: The (first) Miracle of the Sun, at Fatima.
Given God’s 100-year period of grace that I previously mentioned, the years 1922, 1924, and 1934 would actually represent 2022, 2024, and 2034. A potential scenario of these years (in line with the order of events on the CountDownToTheKingdom website, which references the seven seals of Revelation chapter 6) is as below:
2022 - If Russia has NOT been consecrated: God miraculouslyintervenes in a nuclear war to prevent mankind’s demise. To think that the war commences suddenly is to miss the fact that the world has been in a state of war for over a century. Pope Francishas stated that the world is already in WW3, in a piecemeal way, and Jesusmessages state that Covid 19 is part of that war. After the war, the CountdownToTheKingdom site predicts global economic and social breakdown and global famine.
2022 - If Russia’s consecration has occurred: Russia will miraculously convert, leading to reunification of other Christian churches. In addition, global economic and social breakdown and global famine might be deferred till the 2024 to 2034 period; however, note that lawlessness is increasing across the globe, with growing disrespect of all civil and religious authority and of life itself. (Nb: Is 3:1-5)
2024: Various persons (including Our Lady of Garabandal) have advised of “The Warning”, in which every person will at the same time see the state of their soul, as God sees it. Some people believe The Warning will occur in February, but the year is unknown. After the warning, Conchita Gonzales – a visionary at Garabandal – has stated that Mary has told her the date of a miracle at Garabandal in which all sick who are there will be cured and atheists will be converted. Conchita has said:
- Mary has told her to announce the date of the miracle only eight days in advance (and that it will be after the warning) (Note: Conchita was born 7 Feb 1949, so will be 75 years of age in Feb 2024);
- after the miracle, God will provide a permanent sign in the pine trees at Garabandal.
Due to an anticipated February date of the warning, some Garabandal commentators expect the miracle to appear in the following April or May.
At the time of The Warning, believers and those who accept Christ will receive the mark of the Holy Spirit. Satan will seek to superimpose this with the mark of the beast. A likely candidate (biblically speaking) is a current international patent, lodged in the USA, for technology to be used on humans, with patent number 060606(which can easily be read as 666, the number of the beast in Rev 13:18).
The CountdownToTheKingdom site includes prophecies that after the warning:
- non-catholics will convert and flood the Catholic Church (the Church that most honours Our Lady);
- priests will be needed in the confessional 24/7, and Catholic instruction and masses will also be needed en-masse. This indicates a need for the Church to prepare in advance for those days.
- non-catholics will convert and flood the Catholic Church (the Church that most honours Our Lady);
- priests will be needed in the confessional 24/7, and Catholic instruction and masses will also be needed en-masse. This indicates a need for the Church to prepare in advance for those days.
After the warning, Satan will be held back for six and a half weeks, after which he will return, the mass media will state that it was a mass global illusion or deception; many will believe this lie and join a new world religion, in conjunction with a one world government. Related to this, please note:
- various current day prophets (e.g. see TheCountDownToTheKingdom site) warn that the mass media is one of the beasts of the Apocalypse, and thereby controlled by Satan;
- numerous prophecies on YouTube state that President Trump is a modern day Cyrus (Cyrus had a role was to protect all God’s people); mitigating the severity of persecution and chastisement upon Christians (just as Cyrus, a non-Jew, protected the Jewish people) e.g. Kim Clements. (See Is 45 “The Lord has chosen Cyrus… “I will give you the strength you need, although you do not know me.”” NB: Trump is prophesied to come to know the Lord in his second term.);
- if the above prophecies are true, we can expect most mass media (but not all, according to Kim Clements) to be strongly anti-Trump and probably even predict his defeat in the 2020 elections, and all Christians should instead pray that Trump will be re‑elected by a clear margin. If you have a problem with that, consider that Trump’s opponents (the Democrats) are pro-abortion.
In addition to Trump and other earthly means of protecting God’s people, we can expect to have divine protection; but remember that for the martyrs, God’s protection was for their immortal souls, with comfort at the hour of death (just as for the Christians going into the arena, as dramatised in the movie “Paul, Apostle of Christ”). Ez 14:12-20 says that in war, pestilence and famine, God will protect only His faithful followers. Some prophecies say that both good and bad people will die from the fire from the sky (which could be satellites being brought down by a comet).
On the other hand, one of Mary’s promises to those devoted to the Rosary is protection from God’s chastisements. Such protection was experienced in World War 2, at both Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Priests – devoted to the Rosary - were in these cities, at the time of the atom bombs in 1945. Afterwards, they miraculously showed no signs of radiation poisoning (which was an ongoing exposure risk for people in the area; meaning that the miracle was ongoing). And that was a second miracle, the first being that the buildings they were in were destroyed by the atomic blast (which was like a small comet’s impact), but they were protected from harm.
Note that 2029 is not listed; meaning that there is no global miracle of God to divert any comets, nor other danger. God has withdrawn His presence due to the world’s wickedness (Deut 31:18, Deut 32:20, Hos 5:6, Ps 74:11, Mic 3:4) and many people will die from the comet’s effects, including eating poisoned food and water. After the Miracle of 2024, there will likely be growing tribulation against the Church, due to the growing unholiness of people who found they were destined for hell and who did/do not repent; this will accelerate social and economic breakdown. The 2029 comet impacts will likely precipitate a final period of persecution against the Church and the end of the true papacy - leading to an apostate pope leading a world-wide church in conjunction with the one-world government rule of The AntiChrist for three and a half years to 2034.
In 2034 is a prophesied “three days of darkness”, when God is foretold to remove from the earth all people who are not marked (by the Holy Spirit) as believers, as well as removing demons and all unholiness from the face of the earth (See Is 41:11-12, and Mt 13:30 “pull up the weeds first”; the latter means that there will be NO RAPTURE, that many Christian are expecting at this time).
Notes:
- Fr. Michel Rodrigue, who is included on the CountDownToTheKingdom site appears to indicate or imply a shorter timeline that does it not accord with Jesus alluding to 2029 (in the apparition of 1931); what is missing is the first three and a half year period after The Warning;
- Current Protestant prophecy indicates seven weeks of preparation time in the USA, to September 2020, before a three-month lockdown for pandemic type reasons. (NB: Be cautious with any prophecy; remember that “we see but dimly.” - 1Cor13:12) The prophesied empty supermarkets will probably happen (even if only due to the prophecy scaring people into action), but I believe this is a forewarning that we have a period of seven ‘weak’ years (till July 2027) to prepare us (teach us) to make do with less and to learn to fast, before a three and a half year period of famine (a famine for those who do not accept the mark of the beast, and will – therefore – be unable to buy or sell). Such famine would actually last seven years (2027 to 2034) and is the period of rule of The AntiChrist - the seven year period of Dan 9:27, which would reveal the Antichrist as “the ruler who will have a firm agreement with many people … and when half that time is past, he will put an end to sacrifices and offerings.” (See also Dan 8:11-13.) It makes sense that the second half of the seven year famine period would be the three and a half year period of the Refuges (Is 26:20-21), as mentioned in Fr Rodrigue’s talks, concluding with the three days of darkness. At each day’s mass we hear, “God is our refuge”; and we can expect God to miraculously provide in the Refuges (See 1 K 17: 8-16 and Mt 15: 32-38).
- In World War 2, the prisoners in Japanese concentration camps who were more healthy in mind and body, and thereby survived better and longer, were those who ate less!
The Completion of Christ’s Earthly Life in His Church
Jesus said “I am The Way.” His life reveals to us the path we must take. The Rosary reminds us of that path and helps us to understand what is happening. It is now obvious why Pope John Paul II added the Luminous mysteries, because we – the Church - are living in the end time of the third Luminous mystery (The Proclamation of the Gospel). The body of Christ is making the final journey to Jerusalem, and (on the internet and in private) is speaking of the coming death and resurrection, “but the disciples (i.e. the leaders of the Church) did not understand”! (Lk 18:31-34) Let those who have ears hear what is being preached at mass each day, while the Lord may still be found! The readings and other mass prayers are speaking to our times as a Church; even the sermons, but our priests do not (all) understand the end times message that God is speaking through them!
The day of Transfiguration is coming soon, in The Warning, when Christ’s people will be Spiritually marked, liked the Israelites marked the door posts in Egypt - just before the plagues – to protect them from the angel of death (but not from purification via Pharoah’s hard heartedness). Christ’s triumphant arrival into Jerusalem will follow, with a flood of people into the church. Then will follow the ‘last supper’ (immediately followed by famine) and the Sorrowful Mysteries, with the painful loss of Jesus among us (as the comet hits) and the painful loss of God’s presence when the Pope and others are executed (Ps 22:1 “My God, my God, why have you abandoned me”). There will be very few believers left in sight when the sacrifice of the mass is ceased and believers take refuge from persecution against the Church (spending three and a half years in the tomb with Christ). In this way, Christ’s passion over a few days, will be reflected in Christ’s Church over a few years.
In 2034, onwards, will follow the Resurrection of the Church, and – in time – the remaining Glorious mysteries. What many speak of as the rapture will happen when Jesus returns (1 Thes 4:15-17). The absence of the rapture before then will cause many with false doctrine to fall away, because they are hoping to avoid the cross of Christ; but in so doing, they are not following Jesus, The Way.
What should each of us do?
Keep holy the sabbath day, by devoting the day to love of God and neighbour, rather than to selfish pleasures, e.g. pray, fast, and read the Bible, rather than watching TV; and visit the sick, elderly, and those in prison.
Pray, fast, and sacrifice (including offering up mass / church attendance):
· for an end to abortion.
· for the salvation of souls (which will be aided by the items that follow).
· for Trumps’s re-election in 2020 (to protect God’s people across the world).
· for Russia’s conversion.
· that all bishops consecrate Russia to Mary’s Immaculate Heart by 2022; better yet, contact your bishop/s and humbly request worldwide consecration on the Feast Day of the Immaculate Heart (Saturday June 12, 2021), and go to mass on this date to make sure it happens.
Remember, the timing of Russia’s consecration will have a major bearing on what is to come, given Mary’s statement that Russia will either be a means of chastisement (e.g. Russia uniting with China in a nuclear war) or of blessing (e.g. Russia unites with the USA to prevent or limit nuclear war). We need as many as possible faith filled believers to pray for this consecration, and we need all Bishops and the Pope to act. Do prayer, fasting and sacrifice, to ask God to provide (in you and our world) the prayer-power and fortitude to achieve this.
In all things give thanks to God (Mt 15:36, Rom 14:6, Eph 5:20, 1Thes 5:18, Rev 11:17); this includes keeping the habit of praying over your food, so that God will “keep us safe from all evil” (Mt 6:13).
Mary also requested the Five First Saturday’s devotion, with promises of salvation for those who do it. Related to that, devotion to praying the Rosary arms us with important gifts, some of which are an awareness of sin, a repentant heart, and an awareness of truth. (Praying includes meditating on the mysteries of Christ’s life, not just saying the words.) There are also 15 promises attached to Rosary devotion. The Rosary is a major weapon in these times and gives us Christ’s peace.
To help us spiritually through these times, we must feed ourselves on God’s word in the Bible, we must ask God for grace and build up our strength through prayer (especially the Rosary), *fasting, and sacrifice. (*Jesus said “When you fast.”, not “if”.) And we must seek the sacraments and sacramentals. We must also live Christian lives. In this way, we will put on the whole armour of God, per Eph 6: 10-18. (The sacraments are already under threat due to Covid 19. We can expect more such threats and eventually cessation of public sacraments, punishable even by death.)
To help us physically through these times, we must have protection from cold weather and storms, and we might have no electricity for this. The earth’s crust will shift and at least some warm places (countries or parts thereof) will get cold, and cold places will get hot.
In 2024, we will have many people seeking to know Jesus and to be inducted into the Catholic faith; we must prepare for this. And remember that Jesus came to us through the Holy Spirit and Mary working together; so, induction must include the Rosary and an understanding of life in the Spirit.
Other dates?
2027: The Antichrist is revealed (probably in June to August) as outlined above. His seven-year reign ends in 2034, after beginning exactly 2000 years after Christ was revealed at His baptism in 27AD.
Because Satan seeks to usurp Jesus, he might use Christmas Day 2030 to execute the Pope, symbolic of “the death” of Christ’s body, the Church. In early 2031, half way through the seven year reign of The Antichrist, the new World Church is ‘born’, and the time of the Refuges has come; RUN after the light of your guardian angel - do not talk to anyone, do not delay, as the previously wonderful appearing and unity promoting AntiChrist will now reveal his true nature and unleash Hell on earth, in a single day. (Is 26:20, Pr 22:3, Pr 28:27)
Are you struggling with this message?
For Covid 19, are you doing self-isolation, social distancing, maybe even working as a medical professional? And how many people have died across the world from Covid 19? A few hundred thousand? Yes, it is terrible. But consider, there are 115,000 babiesbeing aborted each day; what are you doing about that? God hates abortion; do you? Are you really serving the Lord if you are doing nothing about abortion? If you are not already doing so, it is time to take up arms for the spiritual battle to save lives and souls (including your own), even if you don’t agree with anything else in this paper. (What weapons? Prayer, penance, fasting, and sacrifice – even offering up the sacrifice of the mass – in line with the Gospel and as Mary has instructed.)
Many years ago, an unknown farmer named Amos travelled to another country to warn people that they were thinking only of themselves and not caring for the defenceless. People were enjoying the blessings of the world, while ignoring the One who provided it; they cared about themselves but not the needs of widows (such as the today’s elderly in nursing homes) and orphans (which now includes aborted babies). Amos warned of the wrath of God but people did not believe in God; and God wiped out that country. Jesus Himself has now warned us; will you trust God’s Son? (Mt 21:37)
Was Jesus not clear enough? Recall Mk 4:11-12 – Jesus speaks to the world in parables. Jesus wants to save His elect, so He speaks a language that only the elect understand; do you hear the message? In the days of Noah, people said “Who cares that Noah is building a boat? That’s old news, like 100 years old!” Likewise, throughout Christianity we have had people expecting the end at any moment; even many churchgoers have tuned off to that century-old news!
Satan wants to keep God out of your life and keep you spiritually asleep, by keeping you entertained (“Can’t I just relax and enjoy life?”). In Noah’s day, only Noah was close to God, so only Noah heard the news and obeyed. Are you as close to God as Noah was? If you can’t hear this message, follow Jesus and Mary’s instructions - do prayer, penance, fasting, and receive the sacraments.
What about in the Church today? Why aren’t all God’s people or all His Ministers talking about this? Actually, God and His ministers arespeaking to us about this everyday in the readings and sermons at Mass, and in other parts of the Mass; and these words are to help us be a people of living faith. God is actively preparing those people who live the Gospel; do you?
The Mass and the Rosary both remind us of the life of Christ, who is The Way that the Church must follow, through the path of sacrifice and death on the cross. The words in the Appendix below warn that at least some of God’s flock – including ministers - have gone astray. But consider also:
- The Church is like a fortified city of bygone eras, with walls and watchtowers around the walls. Most citizens (including God’s ministers) are far from the walls and can’t even see over the other side; they are focussed on day to day life and don’t even consider the watchmen (the prophets who hear God) in the watchtowers, who are there to see and warn of what is coming. As a citizen, you are praying “Thy Kingdom come”, but can you understand that God is about to answer your prayer?
- If you are a Godly person, you might only be mixing with other Godly people, and – thereby – out of touch with the growing evil in the world. Satan is still working like a thief in the night, through propaganda in the media (keeping you entertained), a gradual increase in disrespect across the world, a gradual breakdown of law and order, and stirring up many wars across the globe that could escalate at any time. The real news is out there, on YouTube, and so is Satan’s propaganda message seeking to usurp all authority established under God, and using a desirable apple to do it, “You are your own God!” If you want to be aware of it, ask God to give you eyes to see, but ask also for grace to trust Him to protect you. (God works for good in all things in the lives of those whom He loves.)
Appendix: Other prophecies and dates - from Catholic Saints and Holy People
The following indented text (including Notes) is extracts from http://catholicprophecy.org. I have added notes that are in italics and not indented, and I have added the highlighting. (The site includes about forty persons prophecies about the end times. I have included only those that indicate timing. Unfortunately, the site appears to have technical issues and no longer loads correctly. If you want to know what else I read, I suggest you instead seek the Lord!)
Pope (Saint) Pius X
In 1909, Pius X said:
“The present wickedness of the world is only the beginning of the sorrows which must take place before the end of the world.”
“The present wickedness of the world is only the beginning of the sorrows which must take place before the end of the world.”
Sister Bertina Bouquillion (who passed away in 1850)
Sister Bouquillion long ago made this prediction:
“The beginning of the end shall not come in the 19th century, but in the 20th for sure.”
“The beginning of the end shall not come in the 19th century, but in the 20th for sure.”
[Note: The above two quotes are in line with God providing a 100 year warning period, ending in the 21stcentury.]
Saint Margaret Mary Alacoque (17th century)
“I understand that devotion to the Sacred Heart is a last effort of His love towards Christians of these latter times, by offering to them an object and means so calculated to persuade them to love Him.”
St. Nilus (who lived around 400 AD)
“After the year 1900, toward the middle of the 20th century, the people of that time will become unrecognizable. When the time for the Advent of the Antichrist approaches, people’s minds will grow cloudy from carnal passions, and dishonor and lawlessness will grow stronger. Then the world will become unrecognizable. People’s appearances will change, and it will be impossible to distinguish men from women due to their shamelessness in dress and style of hair.
“These people will be cruel and will be like wild animals because of the temptations of the Antichrist. There will be no respect for parents and elders, love will disappear, and Christian pastors, bishops, and priests will become vain men, completely failing to distinguish the right-hand way from the left. At that time the morals and traditions of Christians and of the Church will change. People will abandon modesty, and dissipation will reign. Falsehood and greed will attain great proportions, and woe to those who pile up treasures. Lust, adultery, homosexuality, secret deeds and murder will rule in society.
[Notes:
- The above text reflects the evil of child abuse in Christian churches; in addition, there are the same charges as made in old testament times, of people seeking wealth and pleasure in this life without caring for their neighbour.
- Murder includes abortion - horrifyingly currently estimated to be a quarter of all conceptions.]
Mathias Lang
(Also known as Stormberger in some prophecy circles.) Lang was illiterate and had no education, yet he predicted many things like airplanes, telephones and much more. He lived in Bavaria between 1753 to 1820. He made the following prediction before World War One:
“When the iron road passing through the forest is built and the iron hound passes the deserted bay, afterwards, when the wagon without horse and shaft travels and people fly like birds in the sky, and when the silver fish flies over our forest… then is the war year. ”
NOTE: The “iron road” and “iron hound” most certainly refers to railroads and trains. The “wagon without horse and shaft” is the automobile and, of course, Lang is predicting airplane travel when he described people who “fly like birds in the sky.” The silver fish could be an airplane or possibly a German Zeppelin. All of these things came to Bavaria just before World War One. Lang continues in another prophecy when he describes World War Two:
“After the Great War there will be no peace. The people will rise and all will fight against each other… The rich and noble will be killed. The World War will not make people better but much worse… Tell your children that their children will live to see the time when the earth will be cleared*. God will do away with people because there will be no charity among men. Religious faith will decline; priests will not be respected; people will be intent only on eating and drinking; there will be many immensely rich people and large amounts of paupers; great wealth will not endure long, for the red caps will come. People will hide in forests and many will go into exile. After this civil conflict and general clearing people will love each other as much as previously they hated one another.
[*Note: I am a member of the generation that this references. Note also that lack of respect for priests is a fruit of atheism, not just due to child abuse by a small percentage of pastors.]
“Two or three decades after the first war it will come one a Second War still larger. Almost all the nations of the world will be involved. Millions of men will die, without being soldiers. The fire will fall from the sky and many great cities will be destroyed. And after the end of the Second Great War, a third universal conflagration will come, so that it will determine everything. There will be weapons totally new. In one day, more men will die than in all the previous wars. The battles will be accomplished with artificial weapons. Gigantic catastrophes will happen. With the open eyes, the nations of the planet will go through these catastrophes. They won’t know what is happening, and those that know and tell, will be silenced. Everything will be different from before, and in many places the Earth will be a great cemetery. The third war will be the end of many nations”.
“When women walk around in pants, and men have become effeminate, so that one will no longer be able to tell men from women, then the time is near.
St Thomas Aquinas defined effeminacy as “A reluctance to suffer, due to an attachment to pleasure.” This includes – for example - an absence of virtuous habits.
Mother Shipton was an English seer who lived from 1488 to 1561. Not much is known about her so we present these prophecies for your own discernment. The following excerpts are from a prophecy that has been attributed to her.
“Carriages without horses shall go.
And accidents fill the world with woe.
Around the world thoughts shall fly
In the twinkling of an eye.
And accidents fill the world with woe.
Around the world thoughts shall fly
In the twinkling of an eye.
[Note: The above is being fulfilled in our internet age.]
Through the hills man shall ride
And no horse be at his side.
Underwater men shall walk,
Shall ride, shall sleep, shall talk.
Women will dress like men and trousers wear,
And cut off all their locks of hair.
They will ride astride with brazen brow,
And love shall die, and marriage cease,
And nations wane and babes decrease
And no horse be at his side.
Underwater men shall walk,
Shall ride, shall sleep, shall talk.
Women will dress like men and trousers wear,
And cut off all their locks of hair.
They will ride astride with brazen brow,
And love shall die, and marriage cease,
And nations wane and babes decrease
NOTE: It is evident that these images pertain to our current time, when the differences between a man and a woman continue to be blurred, when love is being replaced by promiscuity, when marriage has been deemed all but obsolete, and when babies are subject to abortions, hence the term “decrease.”
When pictures look alive, with movements free,
When ships, like fishes, swim beneath the sea,
When men, outstripping birds, can soar the sky,
Then half the world, deep-drenched in blood, shall die.
When ships, like fishes, swim beneath the sea,
When men, outstripping birds, can soar the sky,
Then half the world, deep-drenched in blood, shall die.
The fiery year as soon as over,
Peace shall then be as before.
Plenty everywhere be found,
And men with swords shall plow the ground.
Peace shall then be as before.
Plenty everywhere be found,
And men with swords shall plow the ground.
Sister Jeanne Royer (18th century)
“I see that the century which begins in 1800 shall not yet be the last. The reign of Antichrist is approaching.
“One day I found myself in a vast plain alone with God. Jesus appeared to me and from the top of a small hill, showed to me a beautiful sun on the horizon. He said dolefully: ‘The world is passing away and the time of My second coming draws near. When the sun is about to set, one knows that the day is nearly over and that the night will soon fall. Centuries are like days for me. Look at this sun, see how much it still has to travel, and estimate the time that is left to the world.’
“I looked intently and it seemed to me that the sun would set in two hours. Jesus said: ‘Do not forget that these are not millenaries, but only centuries, and they are few in number.
“God has manifested to me the malice of Lucifer and the perverse and diabolical intentions of his henchmen against the Holy Church of Jesus Christ. … The storm began in France, and France shall be the first theatre of its ravages after having been its cradle.”
The Rigord of St. Denis(a Frenchman who lived in the 12th century)
“At that time from the sea will rise a very strong wind, which will strike terror in the hearts of men, and it will raise sand and dust from the surface of the earth, until it will cover the trees and the towers… And there will be heard in the air quakes and thunder and voices which will strike terror in the hearts of men, and all the countries will be covered with sand and dust… For that wind will rise from the west corner and reach until the west corner, encompassing all the countries of Egypt and Ethiopia… and also the lands of Rome.
“After those events of the winds, five miracles will come to pass one after another.
“First, a most wise man will arise from the east, versed in secret wisdom, that is, in wisdom which is beyond man. And he will walk in justice and will teach the law of truth, and he will cause many to return to straight mores from the darkness of ignorance, and from unbelief to the way of truth, and he will instruct the sinners in the way of righteousness, and he will not pride himself with being counted among the prophets.
“Secondly, a man will come forth from Elam and will assemble a multitude of great forces (Daniel 11:1), and will wage a great war against the nations (Zechariah 14), and he will not live long.
NOTE: It is difficult to say which of these men might be what other seers have described as the Holy Man, or the Holy Emperor, who will bring peace and Catholicism to a troubled world.
“Thirdly, up will rise another man who will say that he is a prophet. He will hold a book in his hand and say that he was sent by God and by His prophets. And with his teachings he will cause many nations to go astray, and will seduce even more. But that which he will prophesy will come upon his own head. And he, too, will not live long.
NOTE: This seems to describe the Antichrist, as it paints the picture of a man who leads many astray and who claims divinity.
“Fourthly, a comet will be seen in heaven— a star, that is, with a tail or appendage — and this apparition will signify destructions and tumults and hard strifes, and withholding of rains, and dryness of the earth, and mighty battles, and the flowing of blood upon the earth of the east, and from beyond the River Habor it will reach to the very end of the west. And the just and the truly righteous will be oppressed and will suffer persecutions, and the house of prayer will be destroyed.
NOTE: Many other prophets speak of a comet that will come during these times. Whether it is the cause of the earth’s ills or merely a harbinger has yet to be determined.
“Fifthly, there will be an eclipse of the sun, like the color of fire, until the whole body of the sun will be obscured, and at the time of the eclipse there will such darkness over the earth as there is at midnight on those nights when there is no moonlight, in the days of the rains…”
NOTE: The prophecy ends with what other saints and seers refer to as the three days of darkness, which some believe will overshadow the earth in the end times and its result will be that the tormentors of the Church shall perish.
Other pointers to our times
In recent years, scientific knowledge has grown significantly, and many scientists have concluded that evolution doesn’t match with scientific fact. Instead, they believe that earth’s history is quite short, in line with Biblical history.
Separate from, but related to the above, there has been much investigation of the Bible (with very enlightening insight by Hebrew scholars), and new meanings, codes, and messages found in its writings, e.g. Revelation of Jesus in the beginning.
An example of the above relationship is YouTube clip “God's 7 Day (7000 Year) Plan in 4 Minutes - Mind Blowing!” (The clip lasts just over four minutes.) The point is that the seven days of creation each represent 1000 years of world history, and we are soon to end the 6000thyear, which is the period in which The AntiChrist appears. Note that the clip:
- is flawed, in expecting Christ’s return at this time; as that is not The Way that is Christ’s life.
- expects the AntiChrist by 2028AD, in line with saying that Christ came in 28AD. As stated earlier in this paper, other sources indicate Christ’s appearance was in 27AD; which indicates that 2027AD is the timing of the AntiChrist’s appearance.
- Is flawed in expecting 2028AD to be the start of the last 1000 years. The only event in the timeline that indicates the start of a 1000 year period is the coming of the Holy Spirit, fifty days after Christ’s death, in 31AD. This means, that the 1000 year period of God’s Kingdom on earth, commences in the Refuges, in 2031AD, which is 100 years after Christ’s message. (Ps 91:9-10 “You have made the Lord your defender, the Most High your protector, and so no disaster will strike you, and no violence will come near your home (the Refuge), God will put His angels in charge of you to protect you wherever you go.”)
- Quotes the Bible passage “I have declared the end from the beginning.” (Is 46:10). There is another way that God has also done this, but without stating timing. In Hebrew, the Bible doesn’t commence with “In the beginning” but rather a Hebrew word “Bereshit” that means “In beginning”. The letters in this word are like Christians used the Greek (?) word for ‘fish’ to symbolise “Jesus Christ, Son of God, Savior”. However, in the case of Bereshit, the letters spell out creation history, including that God’s son would come among us and die on a cross. Unfortunately, I saw this explanation many months ago and no longer have the link. The point is already indicated in this paper, i.e. “The Way” that is Jesus, is “The Way” of history.
Final words
Acts 7:25: “Moses thought that his own people would realise that God was using him to rescue them, but they did not.” (Lesson: Please don’t complain about the messenger!)
Is 8: 12 “Do not join in the schemes of the people (the mark of the beast) and do not be afraid of the things that they fear (the chastisements).”
Rev 1: 4-5 “Grace and peace be yours from God … He loves us…”
May His peace be always with you.
