Prophecies for Discernment

Jesus warns about trying to guess His return by specifics like dates and times. He does however, in the Gospel for the First Sunday of Advent and in other passages, tell us certain signs to look for. Remember the Apostles wanted to know the signs of His coming. Jesus told them and tells us too.

This page will deal with the subject of prophecy and apparitions. To say we have been receiving warnings for centuries is an understatement. Today, the pace has picked up even more significantly although many deny this fact or explain the events away as 'nature' or cyclic events. That could be as well as God often works through nature. He controls all things and nature is one of them. Think what you will about Katrina...the Archbishop of New Orleans I believe at that time said it was a Divine Chastisement as did many of his Priests. Amazingly, from what I know, the people there - once power was restored on a limited basis - opened their gay bars, strip joints and celebrated in the streets with pagan masks and parades. Some people never learn I suppose.

We in the United States enjoy our freedom not because we earned it but because God blessed us to be a leader among the Nations. He chose America to lead the way of others to Him through our faith, technology and generosity. We are a land abundant with resources such as food. In factm we used to produce enough food here to feed the entire world three meals a day and a snack too. Yet, that did not and does not happen for many reasons. We waste more food than consume it seems. Regulations prohibit distribution of left over foods from restaurants in some places to the homeless or shelters. Instead the food is dumped since the donating organization could be liable in case someone became sick. How stupid. If the food is good enough to cost a diner 35 or 40 dollars inside, what happens to it when it exits the restaurant?

Anyway, let me return to prophecy. Prophecy is an interesting thing since many prophets (including the Old Testament ones) did not fully comprehend the message they received at times. They simply followed the instructions and delivered their messages. Remember Jonah? He was mad at Ninevah and wanted it destroyed but God had another idea. Go there Jonah and tell them to repent and they will be spared. You may recall that Jonah was so set on his way that he refused to go there. As if God didn't notice, he takes off in the opposite direction by sea. God sends a 'giant fish' (I like to think of it as a whale) and it swollows Jonah and for three days, he's in the stinky stomach of this whale. To be sure, he had to be pondering why he didn't simply follow God's idea instead of his own.

We know that after the three days in the whale, the big fish swims to the shores of Ninevah and throws up and guess who was one of the first vomitees (new word)...Jonah. Poof, he finds himself on the beach - no umbrella and cold drink....he's there for his original purpose as God intended. He does the job and delivers the message to repent. The King repents and all his people as well and they wear sackcloth and ashes and are spared from destruction.

It is unlikely that we will each be swollowed by a whale although with God, anything is possible. However, there are numerous 'whales' in other forms swimming around our world and especially our country warning us...repent or else. God doesn't threaten to threaten. He acts after a period of warning; remember, His Name is mercy. He never lowers the boom without a sufficient warning. He has been sending His Mother to us for many centuries and yet, her warnings have been ignored. She has recently appeared in Medjurgorje with tears streaming down her beautiful face. Why? Because her children are offending and ignoring her Son.

Folks things are getting worse and that is no prophetic secret. It is a fact that can simply be confirmed by watching the local and national news, reading the various newspaper accounts of home invasions, rapes, murders within and outside of the family unit, school shootings and fights, attacks on teachers and other authority figures, and disrespect for authority figures within the church, law enforcement agencies, and education. The family is collapsing and has been since the 1960s when the 'feel good' and 'do-your-own-thing' generation unleashed the new age.

Presented here on this page are numerous prophecy site links and other comments relative to the coming chastisements, three days of darkness, and apocolyptic events. You have to discern for yourself and should only do so after prayer (and fasting too) to Our Lady and the Holy Spirit. Do not 'bu' everything you see and hear blindly. These days, many evangelists on television especially are scaring people half to death with a variety of prophetic messages and sermons designed to largely lead you to donate 'seed' money and /or buy their books, tapes and cd's. Several as you are aware are under investigation due to their lavish lifestyles which may be supported by donations from their faithful. Why does a minister or evangelist need a home in Malibu with fifteen rooms and a yacht? Jesus had nothing except what He wore - a tunic and carried nothing. He ate wherever He was at the time, slept where He was in an area (often outside), and rode only twice in His earthly life: Once in the Blessed Mother's womb on His way to being born in Bethlehem (and she rode a donkey) and a second time, when He Himself rode a donkey into Jerusalem. Otherwise, He walked and sometimes took a boat. Many clergy Catholic and Protestant need to examine their lifestyle in relation to Him Whom they profess to serve.

Have we learned anything from the events of our past? Wars solve nothing, poverty and homelessness still abound and are getting worse. Following the events of 9-11-2001, the churches and synagogues were jammed full. There were prayer rallies in stadiums and prayer vigils throughout the country. A cohesiveness and commonality of purpose reigned, at least for a while.

Now, things seem back to normal and it is business as usual. God has been put back on the shelf as it is deemed that we can get alond just fine without Him. What will it take for us to come to our senses? How many 9-11's or Tsunamis? How many Katrinas or earthquakes?

What a sad spectacle our world must be to the Lord as He looks down from His lofty home and sees us so caught up in the affairs of a life that is fleeting. The abortions, the sexual promiscuity, the families falling apart, the search for bigger and better things, savings accounts and new opportunities to add to the coffers we believe will make us happy.

We simply cannot continue murdering our babies and euthanizing those who are no longer productive members of society in the eyes of some. "Thou shalt not murder" is a Commandment, not a suggestion. God takes this and the other nine Commandments very seriously. Nothing has changed in His thinking and no amendments have been issued.

When people ask me who I will vote for I tell them "I will vote for the candidate who absolutely and without any shadow of a doubt is against abortion and euthansia first and secondly, against cloning and same-sex ;marriages.' The priority has to go to the one who is pro-life as God is pro-life."

The objections I hear are that a candidate is pro-life but all about keeping the troops in the Middle East. Or, a candidate is for lowering taxes but is pro-choice. The beat goes on and on. The issue is murdering innocent little children in what should be the safest place on the earth for them, their own mother's womb. Fully-developed babies are born and then, some brilliant doctor who studied life for years and how to preserve it, sticks scissors or some other instrument into the skull of the baby puncturing the brain and then suctions the brains out as the little one screams in silent screams and wiggles and twists due to the pain until death provides relief.

Can anyone tell me that this is not murder? If someone did this to a little girl or boy baby on the street, in a home or somewhere else, people would go crazy trying to stop the nonsense and catch the killer. Yet, daily there are over 4000 of these 'procedures' being done. Since 1973 it has been legal in the eyes of man to kill babies. In the eyes of the Almighty it has never been legal and never will.

So folks, laugh if you wish, chalk the global and national events up to nature, weather, and all the rest. But know this...God is not mocked and we shall reap what we are sowing. Earthquakes are indeed becoming more common and in places heretofore unheard of. Our national economy and financial situation is getting worse and eventually will collapse according to the 1990 prophecy which has so far been right on target. Warning after warning has been given to us and yet, man always has a better idea and it is always 'business as usual.'

Remember that when the sun rose on Sodom and Gommorah that fateful day, the people too thought it was business as usual. When the sun rose on 9-11-01 in Manhattan, New York men and women thought it another business as usual day too. On 9-11, people went to work in the Pentagon to do business as usual. Suddenly, passengers on jetliners found themselves at the close of their days. People in the twin towers too quickly discovered that it was over for them too...they fully expected to go home after work and be with their loved ones. They went home to be sure but not at their previous addresses.

We never know but we do see signs and know for sure that when we do something wrong a silent little voice says so. It is called conscience and America is loosing its conscience. Hedonism, relativism, secularism and all the 'me' isms are becoming the dominant force which drives all to seek the pleasures, comforts and luxuries available and to go to pleasure lengths which defy reason sometimes.

We have been so richly blessed by God as a nation but that blessing I believe will soon be withdrawn as we have used its benefits for our selves, for what we can get out of another and all without regard for our brothers and sisters who have no home, food, medicine or clothes. We pass them by as unfit derelicts rather than seeing in them the Christ Who is homeless, hungry, and in need of food and medicine. Christ dwells within us, each one of us and He is the One Who asks for a drink, a sandwich, a coat or shoes, or a place to shelter for the night. Is their no compassion for the Christ Who stretched out His arms upon the cross for you and for me? Is there no one to bring Him comfort? Is there no one to stand with His Mother at the foot of the cross and hold her as she grieves the loss of her only-begotten Son? Where is the compassion that this nation was founded upon? Where is the old America who was a world leader in exercising Judeo-Christian principles?

Now is the time to awaken from our sleep for the time is short. Now is the time to turn to the Lord for mercy and to reach out to one another. Now is the time of salvation for tomorrow may never come.

How many flags have to be folded into a triangle and given to loved ones before we come to our senses? How many caskets containing the young men and women of our future have to be unloaded from gigantic air planes? How many little boys like the one in this photo have to hear about their Daddy rather than from their Daddy?

Pray the Rosary for peace as Our Lady has requested.
