Sister Lucia said that if we want to understand Fatma we need to read the Book of the Apocolypse chapters 8 to 13 -- it is mentioned in these verses about a period of tribualtion lasting 42 months in which evil reaches its zenith before the Lord intervenes --- Revelation 11:2 Leave out the court which is outside the temple and do not measure it, for it has been given to the nations; and they will tread under foot the holy city for forty-two months. Revelation 13:5 There was given to him a mouth speaking arrogant words and blasphemies, and authority to act for forty-two months was given to him. Two important events occured with Sister Lucia divided by 42 months -- Sister Lúcia - December 10, 1925, at Pontevedra, she experienced a vision of the Holy Virgin and the Christ Child. The Virgin Mary showed her a heart encircled by thorns, which she was holding in her hand. During this apparition, the Child Jesus asked Sister Lúcia "have compassion on the heart of your most holy Mother, covered with thorns, with which ungrateful men pierce at every moment, and there is no one to make an act of reparation to remove them." At this point, the Virgin Mary is said to have set the parameters of the Five First Fatima Devotions. THREE AND A HALF YEARS LATER (42 months) On June 13, 1929, Sister Lucia dos Santos was given a mystical vision which can also serve as a profound catechesis on the saving Catholic Faith. The Mysteries of the Blessed Trinity, the Incarnation, the Cross, our Redemption, the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, the Sacred Host and the Precious Blood, Our Blessed Mother and Her intercessory role, divine grace and mercy: all of these hold a prominent role in this heavenly apparition. Our Lady said “The moment has come in which God asks the Holy Father to make, in union with all the bishops of the world, the consecration of Russia to My Immaculate Heart, promising to save it by this means.” Our Lady had already mentioned this consecration at Fatima, as part of Her ‘Secret’ on July 13, 1917. However, She indicated that She would return at a future date to actually request the consecration. June 13, 1929 was that day. (“Make it known to My ministers, given that they follow the example of the King of France in delaying the execution of My command, they will follow him into misfortune.” Our Blessed Lord at Rianjo in August of 1931). We are on the cusp of the 100th anniversary of these revelations & signs from heaven -- Dec 10th 2025 - June 13 2029 - three and a half years (42 months) - will this be the tribulations and zenith of the evil in our times? - the devil knows his time is running out -- Luke 4:25 But I say to you in truth, there were many widows in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the sky was shut up for three years and six months, when a great famine came over all the land. James 5:17 Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed earnestly that it would not rain, and it did not rain on the earth for three years and six months. Daniel 12:7 I heard the man dressed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, as he raised his right hand and his left toward heaven, and swore by Him who lives forever that it would be for a time, times, and half a time; and as soon as they finish shattering the power of the holy people, all these events will be completed. Who knows but food for thought.
I daresay that as the British empire and currency domination was shifted to the USA after the financial collapse in the 1930s, the end of the USA domination is at hand. Everything is in a state of flux. The reversal of Roe is a marvelous sign of the ever present workings of God, but I believe iniquity will have its "day" in the near future. If the Warning/Miracle is true it will come first, for the Mercy of God must be demonstratively offered prior to any judgment. The apostasy within the Church, similar to the general rejection of Jesus by the Jewish hierarchy, reinforces my conviction. I'm not sure when the 42 months will commence, garabandal, but I believe the Elitists' focus on the year 2030 as a year of climax, speaks volumes. God is in charge. Signs in Egypt; Pharaoh rejects- judgment on Egypt, freedom for Israel. (13th century BC) The Lord has Moses lead Israel out from bondage. Jeremiah and Ezekiel prophesy- Judah rejects, Babylonian Captivity begins. (6th century BC) The Lord moves Cyrus to let the Jews return. The Messiah arrives. The Jewish leaders reject Christ and rebel against Rome. The nation is destroyed. (1st c. AD) The Lord has Rome execute justice. Mary appears at Fatima (1917). Church links arms with secular society; takes eyes off of Christ the King. Judgment falls? (21st c. AD) The Lord has Mary reclaim the Church on His behalf. I must stress that it is imperative that we pray for the world to fully respond in repentance to the Warning so as to avoid the Chastisement. It is our duty and hope as Catholics!
I think this post is one of the most ìmportant posts posted on the forum. I really want to use the word post one more time
I think it refers to the destruction of Rome and the universal persecution of the Church. But what do I know I am only a simple man who prays the Rosary so it's an opinion only.
Very interesting meditation with much food for thought, thanks for sharing. I think I've posted this before, but I know a hermit priest who has noted a series of grave events separated by 3.5 years which go back a few decades and they include the passing of iniquitous laws like one in favor of cloning, the attacks on Sept 11, 2001, the resignation of Pope Benedict, and the burning of Notre Dame. I would have to dig up his theory to find all the events he includes in this cycle, but from memory he cites those as falling on dates that are in cycles of 3.5 years. He also makes a connection with the 7 years in the dream interpreted by Joseph in Egypt. Seven years is actually 2 x 3.5 years so 7 fits into a cycle of 3.5 years repeated in history that will culminate at some point. According to the priest, the burning of Notre Dame on April 15, 2019 was a satanic event of grave eschatological importance and he thinks it will be followed by another one after 3.5 years which is around October 15, 2022. I'm sure that Heaven has its own signs, like the messages you cite given to Lucia, but how I wish experts in the Church would study this more and show us the ties with Scripture.
I would guess this this time period is at least roughly right. In either case events are right on top of us and we should get set. Its so very, very sad that the vast majority of Catholics are not reading the Signs of the Times and appear totally, totally blind to all that is in process. Especially sad when it is the Shepherds, who steer the course, who are blind. If people could only even guess our Churches would be filled to the rafters with people in tears earnestly beseeching heaven.
If we count 3.5 years from October 6, 2019 (Pachamama worship in the Vatican) we arrive at April 6, 2023 (Holy Thursday), maybe something significant will happen on this date.
According to a priest here in Miami, 2023 to 2024 is significant. Apparently he received this message from a vision of Our Lady in Medjugorje.
Not a date person but if I was this is believe is significant. Things went really bad in the world just after pacamamma.
If you have a chance it would be good to spare a listen to a commentary on a recent message from Pedro Regis a Brazilian mystic who has the cautious support of his Bishop. The Message speaks of , 'Peter becoming Judas'.
The Father reminds me of the words of Jesus regarding Nathanial, 'Here is an Israelite in whom there is no guile!' The young priest bears his ill treatment so well with no complaint, no whinging or whining of feeling sorry for himself. An example of how to bear up in bad circumstances. He shows no signs of pride , or rebellion or malice. On the contrary he shows a child like and joyous spirit under great suffering. May God bless him and grant him all the graces he needs under his little martyrdom.
On a personal note. My Housing Association will not let me sell my apartment until May 2025, so that is almost exactly when the Tribulation may start. So I could not help but notice the God incidence. I was praying to Our Lady the other day asking for insight into when and where to go and got the answer back, 'Continue to pray for guidance'. So I shall. There is a selfish wish to be given a complete road map of the future ahead rather to walk in blind confidence ,step by step. I must resist this.
This worries.me as Malachi Martin said the third secret was Daniel 12 which is three and a half years , I worry that there is no forgiveness of Sins for three and a half years
WRONG. First of all we are not yet in that time. We are however in a time of purification when our sins are forgiven through the sacrament of Confession. With full confidence in Jesus resist the devil's lies and get to confession.
I concur with the first part ... The second part is where a cultivated and tangible HOPE can come into play because of and as far as strongly Faithfully Believing in things that we currently can not see.. for, Faith and Hope are not actually "blind".
