Thank you for your Heaven-appointed mission of concern. You have summed up the issue perfectly. Her name is Holly. Thank you for your prayers.
The funniest remark was after the priest had given out the Eucharist. He simply goes to the altar and takes the hosts from the Tabernacle and after a few brief prayers distributes the Sacrament. They then clear the altar very quickly in case of the police paying us another visit (I think). It all takes maybe ten minutes in all. Him. 'Well that was a quick Mass!' Her. 'Yes but it was beautiful!' Him. 'Well I suppose it doesn't matter we got the host anyway!' Her. Yes that's what we came for!' I noticed several people grinning as we left the Church.
This reminds me of the story a priest in the Monastery told me one time. An old lady called to the guest house and asked him to say a Mass for the Dead. When the priest agreed he asked her whom the mass was for. To which she replied. 'Poor Jesus who died on the Cross today'. The old priest said no matter what he said he couldn't talk her out of it.
I suspect several years, but I honestly can’t recall any prophecy that addresses the length of the Minor Chastisement.
I honestly don’t know as I hadn’t asked him, and I deleted my Facebook account a month ago. I still have his email so I could ask him.
I just sent him a note via email and specifically asked him these two questions. I’ll let you know when I hear from him.
I also deleted my FB account recently, but I do seem to recall Desmond saying something about us being in the minor chastisement. I’m not sure, but it does ring a bell.
He just responded. Here’s the salient part: The prophecies do not specify a time duration for the minor chastisement. My own estimate is circa 3 years. Yes, I think it is guite near beginning formally.
do you believe there will be a precursor to the antichrist during the minor tribulation? antichrist not only in the sense of persecuting Christians, but also because he calls himself the Messiah demanding worldwide worship?
Bless you, Brian! Thank you , Brian. So we may think of the Minor Tribulation as Birch's Minor Chastisement. I think since Pachamama one cannot think we can be elsewhere in time, but a Minor Chastisement. Woe unto us.
There is an excellent article which expands on the subject of the Minor Chastisement. The author lists it in outline form, with source materials cited: The outline, while sketchy, continues to point 14, but it is copyright protected, so I don't want to exceed the amount of content shared here. The author citing this material has done a wonderful job of placing this information in an easy to understand format, and this is helpful for eschatology is such a difficult subject for many of us, like myself, to grasp without becoming lost in the details . I don't know the author, perhaps some of you recognize his name, Thomas L. Mulcahy, M.A., but he does provide titles of his sources and the location and page numbers where the material is cited. So very helpful.
We are already in a spiritual chastisement (apostasy/heresy/pachamama idolatry). But there will also be physical chastisements - the 'minor chastisement'. Whilst called the 'minor' Chastisement - it is going to feel like the end of the world -- I believe it to be a period of years some mention 3. In my opinion we are at the very beginning of it (the physical chastisements)- this present crisis - we are in the first contraction of child birth - The labour pains will grow and grow -- until we enter into the greatest crisis in human history - it will feel like the end - but it is not - our Lady had promised she will crush the serpents head and her Immaculate Heart will Triumph and we will enter and era of peace - the Age of Mary. The Triumph will miraculous.
