FROM READINGS of the prophecies of saints and other mystics through the centuries, I gather that while there have been anti-Christs even at the time that Jesus was on earth, the prophesied Anti-Christ — a person who’d be epitome of evil to cast virtual spell over the entire world — is not around yet and would be born long after the present generation.
But then, some of the big prophecies, mostly highlighted in recent apparitions of the Blessed Virgin Mary and foretold by recently declared saints such as Padre Pio, are to occur in our times, if we live out through the next few decades, particularly in the 2030’s.
Recall the prophecies of our Lady of Garabandal in the 1960s (Marian apparitions there still unapproved by the Church but confirmed to be authentic by Padre Pio and Mother Teresa who were both still on earth at that time): the Warning, the Miracle, and the Chastisement.
I have written about these three prophecies in my past columns. The Warning would be the first of the major prophecies to happen in our days. Consider the following words of mystics.
Conchita of Garabandal apparitions: “When communism comes again, everything will happen…. Yes, when it newly comes again…”
Jacinta, also of Garabandal: “These difficult events will take place before the Warning, because the Warning itself will take place when the situation will be at its worst.”
In Anguerra, Brazil, Our Lady of Peace has been appearing to a man named Pedro Regis. Prophecies revealed to Pedro have been very detailed, including the tsunami tragedy in Japan and the destruction of the Twin Towers in New York. The Church, however, has yet to render judgement on the Anguerra case.
Our Lady of Peace was reported to have told mystic Pedro Regis of Brazil as follows: “Humanity is contaminated with evil, and my poor children pursue the paths of self destruction. Israel will live the anguish of one condemned because of the surprise by the men of terror.
“Humanity will suffer and men will mourn their life spent without God. The City of Jerusalem, will be destroyed, and when they go through the tribulation, it will not be recognized. There will be only a great desert. O men, turn to me. Accept the love of God, and turn away from hatred.
“The land of the Savior (Israel) must suffer much, but when it feels defeat, it will defend itself with weapons that spread fire in the sky.…
“Peace in the world is threatened. Humanity is heading towards a great abyss, and the moment has come for your return to the Lord. The Middle East will tremble with a great atomic holocaust. The moment of pain for humanity is coming. I come from Heaven to call you to conversion. Open your hearts, and accept the will of God for your lives. Don’t back out. Go forward on the path I have pointed out.
“Humanity is heading towards destruction. The earth will shake and tremble with the large atomic holocaust. Iran will be devastated by Israel. Behold, the difficult times for humanity. Return to the Lord. Tell everyone that this is the favorable time to conversion. There will come a day when many will repent of life spent without God, but it will be too late.
“In the Sinai there will be a great event. Know that men will drink the poison prepared by their own hands. Before three major events are honored, (3 admonitions from God) you will see horrors. A Friday will be marked forever. Take care of your spiritual life.
“Dear children, I came from Heaven, to reveal to you the major events for these your times. I speak to you because I have the permission of my Lord. Be vigilant. Mankind moves away from the creator and walks into the abyss of destruction. Pray. God wants to save you, but you cannot live outside of his grace. An amazing event will be seen on a lot located in Jerusalem. O men, where do you want to go?”
Some believe that the Warning would happen after the nuclear bombing of the Middle East.
These, and more, indicate that the Warning, the Miracle and the Chastisement will happen in our days. In the next issue, I will quote mystics of different times and places in sync over the dreaded Three Days of Darkness which, it would seem, would be part of the Chastisement.
