(I offer this guest piece for those interested in matters concerning the often prophesied “Warning” for humanity)
August 15, 2015- Feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary into heaven.
Back in late 2001 I was perplexed-- A devout person whom I know emphatically stated that the terrorist attack on the Twin Towers was the “Warning” which has been predicted over the past few decades by a number of visionaries. Initially I did not recognise it for what it was. However, I have come to see that 9/11 was actually the beginning of the time of the Warning, and that we are now currently in the time of the Warning, and that the Warning is contained and revealed in and through the recent signs of the times.
But first, back to the beginning of the Warning---in describing the Warning for all of humanity, one of the purported visionaries at the well known Marian pilgrimage site in Spain stated in the early 1970’s that: “The Warning will be like two stars colliding….” Now, back in 2001 the acquaintance I know said the two jet airliners that collided into the buildings were the symbolic “two stars colliding” that the Spanish visionary spoke of. It was then that I recognized that the prophetic symbolism could very well correspond to the reality of the event, but I personally did not yet understand at the time that it was only the beginning of a period of heavens Warnings for humanity.
The First Warning: The collapse of the World Trade Center Towers- A warning against Greed and Pride
For sure, the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attack on the World Trade Center Towers was a seminal event that made a incredible impression upon everyone in the world. I am sure that most everyone reading these lines can remember where they were and what they were doing at the very moment that they heard the news of the horrific terrorist attack. The whole world was riveted to their TV screens.

The whole world was riveted to their TV screens.
The World Trade Center towers aptly named “One and Two World Trade Center” that were once proudly towering over the Manhattan skyline, symbolically signified the seat of the World’s financial center. When first built in 1972, One World Trade center was the tallest building in the world. Symbolically, the towers represented our economic power and human achievements, which were built in a certain sense after the Old Testament story of the tower of Babel;"Come, let us build ourselves a city, with a tower that reaches to the heavens, so that we may make a name for ourselves" (Gen 11:4). In a even darker sense, the towers being the seat of the World’s financial center, for some the two towers also represented our greed and pride, in light of our often inordinate emphasis on money and materialism, and the greed and lust for power that corresponds and stems from it. Two old adages, both rooted in the Scriptures, that pertain to greed and pride wisely state that “For the love of money is the root of all evils” (1 Tim. 6:10) and also"Pride goes before destruction" (Prov 16:18).
The ominous black clouds that billowed from the twin towers were but the first of the "Storm clouds" of the Warning signs for our time. I believe that 9/11 was only the first of the Warnings to come for humanity, and each subsequent Warning would address a specific area of humanities revolt against God, and our falling away from Him that has deeply wounded us, and our relationship with Him.

| ISIS terrorism and the spread of an Islamic Caliphate |
The Second Warning: The threat of Islamic terrorism- A warning for all Christians and Christian countries who have abandoned the Faith
Stemming from the terrorism of the Islamic extremists, next came the Iraq war, and all that has transpired since then in the Middle East, culminating now with the advance of ISIS and the institution of their Islamic Caliphate-State in Iraq and Syria. This second Warning is directed specifically for all Christians—because Christians, especially in the West, have abandoned the faith of their fathers en masse, and so Jesus is warning us that our lukewarmness or all out abandonment of Him will lead to terror and destruction, as we—with our souls--could be overtaken by the terrorist enemy who, if not stopped, could forcibly plant their demonic black flag into our hearts and our Christian heartlands, eventually leading to the death of ourselves, our souls, and our Christian countries. In addition, the abandonment our Christian faith for the "gods" of money, power and materialism has led us to believe that we are sufficient unto ourselves, which further withdraws the protective hand of God for ourselves and our once Christian nations. And like He did with the Hebrews--the chosen people of the Old Testament---He will use the pagan peoples to chastise and correct us.

The Third Warning: The Redefinition of Marriage—The referendum vote in Ireland and the Supreme Court Decision in America
In the beginning God made Adam and Eve, and through them He instituted holy matrimony, the sacred union between man and woman who when joined together before God, become husband and wife. In the past decade, nearly two dozen countries have chosen to redefine marriage to incorporate same-sex unions. To do so is not only an assault on the sanctity of marriage between and husband and a wife as instituted by God Himself, it is also the legal recognition and a tacit approval of homosexuality. What is worse is that the majority of the 20+ countries who have sanctioned same-sex marriage are traditionally Christian countries.

| Denver Planned Parenthood posts "Proud" sign after organisation is caught selling body parts of aborted babies (Life News) |
In 2011, an abortionist named each Dr. Kermit Gosnell and various co-defendant employees were charged with eight counts of murder. The murder charges related to an adult patient, Karnamaya Mongar, who died due to medical malpractice following an abortion procedure, along with seven newborns found to have been killed by having their spinal cords severed with scissors, after being born alive during attempted abortions. This man insidiously cut spinal cords and removed the limbs of dozens of babies after they were born alive. Investigators found physical proof of seven, and thus he was convicted of the seven.
Currently in August 2015, during the very time that I am writing these lines, the nationwide abortionist provider Planned Parenthood has been found to have beenselling for profit the body parts of aborted babies for at least the past 15 years, often without even getting the consent of the mother! The profits from such sales of the body parts of aborted children is literally blood money that calls out to God for justice.
The Fifth Warning- The Transgender Revolution
On July 15, 2015 the former Olympic Gold Medal champion Bruce "Caitlyn" Jenner stood before a cheering crowd to accept the ESPY award for courage stemming from his personal decision to openly identify and "change" his gender from a man to a woman.He was also highlighted dressed as a woman on the front cover of the June 2015 issue of the magazine "Vanity Fair" with the startling sub-title"Call me Caitlyn" which generated a large amount of publicity in the USA and abroad. The "coming out" of such a well known figure has certainly furthered the recognition and acceptance of such a behavior amongst the general public. But we must ask ourselves, how does God view such a circumstance? Is not the attempt of changing ones sexual identity and gender an offense to God who created the particular individual person either male or female? From here I will leave it to the reader to contemplate such actions in the light of God.

One by one the demonic masks are falling off, so that none of us could rightly say “We did not know”
And these are just some of the Warnings from heaven for our time. Other parts of the world have had their specific Warnings also. Since 2001, these Warnings have been successively revealed to humanity so that the sins themselves, along with the underlying sins that are also represented, might be unmasked, so that seeing and hearing of them we might make our own judgments concerning them, that the secret thoughts of our hearts might be revealed.

And if one happened to join the ranks since the 1970’s of humanities ever increasing acceptance of homosexuality, thinking that legalized civil unions would be the culmination of it all, well with the chant of “love wins” what seemed like only a desire for acceptance of an act that has been forbidden since the time of the Old Testament, themask now removed has revealed the false spirit that has sought for and obtained the redefinition of marriage itself; a redefinition of what was instituted by God since the dawn of man. Thus in an ever growing amount of countries, we now have an implicit approval of a same-sex couples “right” that contradicts what God had long ago established for the sanctity of marriage and the family, for the good of children and society as a whole.
And if, years ago one was baptised a Christian, but little by little have fallen away from the Church and from a childlike love and devotion to God, the videos and news clips of Islamic terrorists cutting off the heads of heroic Christian martyrs simply for being Christians is in reality for many of us a removal of the mask revealing to ourselves our abandonment of the faith of our fathers, and revealing to many of ourselves one’s own tepidness towards everything that concerns the Christian faith and the love of God.
Our recent successive revolts against God gives evidence of our pride and our belief that we are sufficient unto ourselves
-Through abortion we have sought to make ourselves the masters of life and death.
-Through our greed for money and materialism we have sought to make ourselves and our possessions our "gods."
-Through the redefinition of marriage to incorporate same sex marriage we have sought to change what God sanctified and instituted from the beginning of humanity.
-Through our promotion and general acceptance of Transgenderism we have given tacit approval to those who have sought to change the core identity and gender of a person in direct opposition to the gender in which God created the individual person.
In short, through these very public events within the past decade which were highlighted in world news, it has become readily apparent that we (particularly the traditionally Christian countries) think that we know better than God in what concerns ourselves, and that we think that we are the masters of life, and that we are entirely sufficient unto ourselves. Soon however we are in for quite a jolt of the true reality of things, for in these times souls are being lost at an unprecedented rate, and God is compelled to act for the salvation of souls.

| Masks have been falling one by one |
All of the matters raised above have made striking news across the world, and through them we see, we know and we judge. And thus the lines are being drawn, and the sides are being taken. No longer can we say “We did not know!” And so it is that I believe the prophesied Warning for humanity is the successive unmasking of the true faces and intentions of the hidden evils lying beneath what all of us should have already recognized and seen as evil and sinful from their very inception. The Warning is also the revelation for many of our greed and inordinate desire for wealth and power. And for many it is also a revelation of one’s falling away from the Christian faith, and the lukewarmness of many towards God.
Yes! One by one the masks have fallen in succession, each a revelation to us, forcing us to discern and to judge for ourselves. With each mask that falls, we are confronted with the reality of what lies underneath, and through these revelations we starkly see thus far who we have served as master in these matters. But the time to repent, change and convert is getting short! Soon the Purification-Storm that is to come will bring the painful truths concerning these and many other matters to each of us in a most extraordinary manner.
Some, following the Gospel and guided by the Holy Spirit and the Church have known the truth in the light of God concerning these and other contentious cultural issues, and as such these “unmaskings” have come as no surprise to them. Others, with an open heart and mind have wisely recognized the unmaskings of the Warning, and have drawn closer to God through prayer and repentance. Still others, filled with determined pride, have dug in their heels even deeper, in an ever more defiant rebellion. For them the upcoming Purification-Storm is going to be exceedingly difficult, but it will also be an extraordinary time of conversion and grace!

| The signs of the times: "When you see storm clouds coming in, you say: 'A Storm is coming' and so it does. |
Each of these events isa Warning, and together they are forming the Warning. As stated earlier, the ominous black clouds that came forth from the destruction of the twin towers was the beginning of the storm clouds of the Warning, and the clouds have been building ever since. Through these events, the intended effect of the Warning is being accomplished in our midst. And it will soon be over. "Then Jesus told the crowds, 'When you see clouds coming in from the west, you say at once, 'A storm is coming,' and so it does....You know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and the sky. How is it that you don't know how to interpret this present time?" (Luke 12:54)
The upcoming Purification-StormI believe that next for humanity will be the Purification-Storm which will consist of a period of time wherein all of humanity will experience a time of great suffering and hardship, so that all trust and hope in our human "systems" (ie- Our currencies, Local, State and Federal governments, Court systems, Public Utilities etc..) may be vanquished, so that we might turn to God and put all of our hope and trust in Him. Until we lose all hope in our own ability to recover and rebuild through our own ingenuity, we will remain in rebellion against God. But when we finally lose that human hope, we will be forced to turn to something greater than ourselves, if we are to have any hope at all, and that is when we will turn a desperate hope towards God, and will find that THAT hope is well-founded.
When all will seem lost, then we shall see the miraculous Triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary
And so, through the upcoming great trials and sufferings of the Purification-Storm, we will lose our current confidence in human supremacy. At the worst of the Purification, when all will seem lost, then will come the great Miracle through the Immaculate Heart of Mary, which will be a miraculous visible sign that everyone in the world will see. It will be our Rescue which will be given through the intercession of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, to reveal once again God's infinite love and mercy for all of humanity, and the institution of an even closer relationship and union between the Creator and the creature, the Father and His children. "Behold, I make all things new!" (Revelation 21:5)
