Previously I wrote on the major prophecies for our times. In that I discussed the prophecies of La Salette. One I reflected on this morning was

“God will strike in an unparalleled manner. Woe to the inhabitants of the earth! God will exhaust His anger, and no one will be able to escape so many evils at once. The heads, the leaders of the people of God, have neglected prayer and penance, and the devil has darkened their minds; they have become those wandering stars which the ancient devil will drag with his tail to destruction. God will permit the ancient serpent to sow divisions among rulers, in all societies and in all families; both physical and moral punishments will be suffered. God will abandon men to themselves and will send chastisements one after the other for over 35 years.”

the 19th of September, 1846

Imagine how hard it would be to hear this back in 1846. That was a time before the infiltration, before the ‘the smoke of Satan has entered the Church’ (Pope Paul VI). But today, the prosperity Gospel, the all loving and never chastising God is what most Catholics hear each week in the homilies.

It’s time to wake up and realize we have offended God and we need the priests and laity to perform acts of prayer and penance. To make sufficient what we have grown so accustomed to lacking, a prayerful home. A home where small acts of penance are a custom.

Has God abandoned us to the selfish desires of our flesh? Just turn on the tell-a-vision and see how corrupt and Godless we have become as a society.

What other prophecies are there that discuss this chastisement period we are in?

And I see the king of Rome with his cross and his tiara, shaking the dust off his shoes, and hastening in his flight to other shores. Thy Church, O Lord, is torn apart by her own children. One camp is faithful to the fleeing Pontiff, the other is subject to the new government of Rome which has broken the Tiara. But Almighty God will, in His mercy, put an end to this confusion and a new age will begin. Then, said the Spirit, this is the beginning of the End of Time.

Premol of the 5th Century, page 306, Trial Tribulation and Triumph, Desmond Birch

And in the twelth century there is this prophecy by the Bishop Christianos Ageda.

In the 20th Century … there will be wars and fury which will last long; provinces divested of their people and kingdoms in confusion … In diverse places the ground shall be untilled, and there shall be great slaughters of the nobility … There shall be great mutilations of kings and rulers, The right hand of the world shall fear the left and the north shall prevail over the south.

Bishop Chistianos Ageda, page 309, Trial Tribulation, and Triumph, Desmond Birch

Is it possible the political right and political left were a part of that prophecy? Is it possible the subversion of the conservative right by the media moguls on the left were prophecied over 700 years ago?

Another extremely credible prophet from the twelfth century is St. Hildegard.

A recent Pew Research study found 7 out of 10 Catholics no longer believe in the “source and summit” of their faith, which is the true presence of Jesus in the body and blood via the bread and wine in the Eucharist. Therefore, heretics have started to preach their false doctrines which have led to a loss in the holy Catholic faith and it is likely the Antichrist has been born.

Toward the end of the world, mankind will be purified through sufferings. This will be true especially of the clergy, who will be robbed of all property. When the clergy has adopted a simple manner of living, conditions will improve.

St. Hildegard

The clergy, the Church, has started to lose their property as settlement for fines imposed by lawsuits on clergy sexual abuse. Once we see that the clergy are adopting a simple manner of living, we will know conditions will improve. Who else has talked about priests living in a simple manner of living?

Beloved children, I have urged you to consecrate yourselves to my Immaculate Heart and to enter into this, my motherly refuge, above all in order to be preserved and defended against this terrible snare. In this way, through the act of consecration of my Movement, I have urged you to renounce every aspiration of building up a career. Thus you will be able to remove yourselves from the strongest and most dangerous snare, made use of by Masonry in order to associate in its secret sects so many of my beloved children. I bring you to a great love for Jesus-Truth, making you courageous witnesses of the faith; to Jesus-Life, leading you to great holiness; to Jesus-Way, asking you to be in life the Gospel alone, lived out and proclaimed to the letter.

Then I lead you to the greatest love for the Church.

I bring you to love the Church-truth, making of you strong proclaimers of all the truths of the Catholic faith, as you set yourself in opposition, with strength and courage, to all errors.

I make of you ministers of the Church-life, helping you to be faithful and holy priests. Be always available for the needs of souls, lend yourselves, with generous abnegation, to the ministry of Reconciliation, and be burning flames of love and of zeal for Jesus present in the Eucharist. In your churches may you once again hold frequent hours of public adoration and reparation to the Most Holy Sacrament of the altar.

I transform you into witnesses of the Church-way, and I make of you precious instruments of its unity. For this reason, I have given you, as a second pledge of my Movement, a special unity with the Pope. By means of your love and of your fidelity, the divine plan of perfect unity in the Church will once again shine forth in all its splendor.

Thus to the dark force which ecclesiastical Masonry is today exercising to destroy Christ and his Church, I am opposing the powerful splendor of my priestly and faithful army, so that Christ may be loved, listened to and followed by all, and that his Church may be more and more loved, defended and sanctified.

In this there shines forth above all the victory of the Woman Clothed with the Sun, and my Immaculate Heart attains its most luminous triumph.

The Beast Like a Lamb, message 406 – June 13, 1989,
To The Priests, Our Ladys Beloved Sons

In these prophecies given to Father Gobbi, Our Lady shares the secret to keep from becoming corrupt. That secret is to approach the priesthood not as a career, where you climb the ladder of success, but as a mission, as a shepherd of a flock.

Our Lady also addresses a dark force called ecclesiastical Masonry. Masonry is easy to understand since the Catholic Church has banned Freemasonry for over 100 years. But what is ecclesiastical Masonry? A review of the book of Revelation has a description in Chapter 13 of this beast like a lamb.

Then I saw another beast which rose out of the earth; it had two horns like a lamb and it spoke like a dragon.  It exercises all the authority of the first beast in its presence, and makes the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast, whose mortal wound was healed.

Revelation 13:11-12

And she discussed in detail this Beast like a Lamb in this same message to Fr. Gobbi.

Above all, as Mother, I have wanted to warn you of the grave dangers which threaten the Church today, because of the many and diabolical attacks which are being carried out against it to destroy it.

To attain this end, there comes out of the earth, by way of aid to the Black Beast which arises out of the sea, a beast which has two horns like those of a lamb.

The lamb, in Holy Scripture, has always been a symbol of sacrifice. On the night of the exodus, the lamb is sacrificed, and, with its blood, the doorposts of the houses of the Hebrews are sprinkled, in order to remove them from the punishment which on the contrary strikes all the Egyptians. The Hebrew Pasch recalls this fact each year, through the immolation of a lamb, which is sacrificed and consumed. On Calvary, Jesus Christ sacrifices Himself for the redemption of humanity; He Himself becomes our Pasch and becomes the true Lamb of God who takes away all the sins of the world.

The beast has on its head two horns like those of a lamb. To the symbol of the sacrifice, there is intimately connected that of the priesthood: the two horns. The high priest of the Old Testament wore a headpiece with two horns. The bishops of the Church wear the mitre with two horns to indicate the fullness of their priesthood.

The black beast like a leopard indicates Freemasonry; the beast with the two horns like a lamb indicates Freemasonry infiltrated into the interior of the Church, that is to say, ecclesiastical Masonry, which has spread especially among the members of the hierarchy. This masonic infiltration, in the interior of the Church, was already foretold to you by me at Fatima, when I announced to you that Satan would enter in even to the summit of the Church. If the task of Masonry is to lead souls to perdition, bringing them to the worship of false divinities, the task of ecclesiastical Masonry on the other hand is that of destroying Christ and his Church, building a new idol, namely a false christ and a false church.

The Beast Like a Lamb, message 406 – June 13, 1989,
To The Priests, Our Ladys Beloved Sons

Over the last year Catholics have witnessed the Amazon synod which promoted ‘Mother Earth’ at the same level as our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. The faithful Catholics of the world have even witnessed pagan idols being brought into the interior of the church and allowed people to perform rituals with their idols and position themselves so their backs were toward the altar of Jesus Christ. These actions by the clergy of the Church are an insult to God. Faithful Catholics listened to their Supreme Pontiff discuss all religions with equality and that God wills the many religions. Is this ecclesiastical Masonry destroying the salvific act of the Cross? Is this ecclesiastical Masonry building a new idol? Is this ecclesiastical Masonry presenting another way to reach heaven as if Christ did not really need to die for our sins, namely a false Christ and a false Church?

And in her words we hear the sadness of a true mother who wanted to warn us 40 years before it actually happened, “Above all, as Mother, I have wanted to warn you of the grave dangers which threaten the Church today.”

Why did Mother Mary want to send this information to Fr. Gobbi? That can be found in message 198 on April 24th, 1980

I will bring you to the full understanding of Sacred Scripture. I will read to you the pages of its last book, which you are living. In it, everything is already predicted, even that which must still come to pass. The battle to which I am calling you is clearly described, and my great victory is foretold. For this reason, I repeat: do not fear; have confidence! In my Immaculate Heart, you will experience the joy and the peace that, even today, my risen Son gives to all of you.

Have Confidence – April 24, 1980
To The Priests, Our Ladys Beloved Sons

Mother Mary, almost 40 years ago, said we are indeed living through the book of Revelation. St. Hildegard during the 12th Century said “Toward the end of the world, mankind will be purified through sufferings.” At La Salette Our Lady also said “God will abandon men to themselves and will send chastisements one after the other for over 35 years.” Indeed, suffering is on the horizon. Has the 35 years started and when would it have started in the eyes of God? Could HIV-AIDS have been one form of the chastisements, of the plagues of the book of Revelation? Could cancer be another of the plagues? On October 13th, 1989 a message was given to Fr. Gobbi entitled “Angel of the First Plague.” In it Our Lady identifies the first plague.

The first plague is that of malignant tumors and every kind of cancer, against which science can do nothing notwithstanding its progress in every field, maladies which spread more and more and strike the human body, devastating it with most painful and malignant wounds. Beloved children, think of the spread of these incurable maladies, throughout every part of the world, and of the millions of deaths which they are bringing about.

The first plague is the new malady of AIDS, which strikes, above all, my poor children who are victims of drugs, of vices and of impure sins against nature.

Your heavenly Mother wants to be a help, a support, a comfort and a source of hope for all, in these times when humanity is being stricken by this first plague. For this, I urge you all to walk along the road of fasting, of mortification and of penance.

The Angel of the First Plague – October 13, 1989
To The Priests, Our Ladys Beloved Sons

If the 35 years that Our Lady at La Salette identified started in 1989, the next few years will be like those words described in Thessalonians:

But as to the times and the seasons, brethren, you have no need to have anything written to you. For you yourselves know well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. When people say, “There is peace and security,” then sudden destruction will come upon them as travail comes upon a woman with child, and there will be no escape. But you are not in darkness, brethren, for that day to surprise you like a thief. 

Since we belong to the day, let us be sober, and put on the breastplate of faith and love, and for a helmet the hope of salvation. For God has not destined us for wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, who died for us so that whether we wake or sleep we might live with him. Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing.

1 Thessalonians 5

Do not live in darkness, live in the light of Christ and be strengthened by the presence of His Mother which He is giving us as a safe refuge during these times. Through her Immaculate Heart, many will be led back to Jesus, and Satan will be destroyed by the faithful who accept this as their safe refuge during these times. Come Lord Jesus!
