    I THINK IT'S JUST HAPPENED

    My Brothers and Sister in Christ;

    I had planned on posting a follow-up to my immediately prior post before this.

    HOWEVER, another event/set of events has occurred - which require a separate yet related commentary:
    I refer here to the riots which have quite recently broken out in France and Italy. Let's "cut to the chase." I think this development refers to numerous Catholic prophecies which state that revolutions/disorderly destructive riots in France and Italy will signal the actual beginning of the Minor Chastisement written about in "Trial, Tribulation & Triumph Before, During and After Antichrist", by Desmond Birch.

    For those of you who have a copy of the book, I refer you in general to Ch. 8 entitled, Chronology of Prophecies Concerning a Minor Chastisement (hereinafter referred to as "TTT"). Most centrally therein see p. 359-362 for the prophecies of "the ecstatic of Tours". It describes revolution breaking out in France and Italy at almost the same time. That prophecy - and the surrounding ones seem to me to meet the conditions set out for the beginning of what is called "The Minor Chastisement." They also describe its subsequent spread throughout most of Western Europe.

    I have been watching both France and Italy for some years now - as they have gradually grown more unstable - politically speaking. I've been watching for signs of an incipient revolution in both countries with growing concern. Events leading up to these recent developments - I've considered as probably leading up the Minor Chastisement. Now I'm thinking it is probably here.

    Those of you who have read "TTT" should remember that therein I discussed that fact that as of 1996 - fundamentalist Moslems living in enclaves of France's major cities then constituted 17% of the population of France. THAT IS NOW AROUND 30%. Here is the central problem: they are not assimilating into French culture. They are opposed to the Franch way of life - with is embedded with Western Civilization - which is essentially Catholic Christian.

    The French govt. is terrified that the large segment of their society might openly revolt against the Government of France. As a result, the have been mollifying that element with a more or less "free lunch" form of Socialism. To a large degree - they've done the same with the rest of the French citizens.

    RESULT: France is broke - virtually bankrupt. It no longer has the funds to continue the promised "free lunch". [As an aside - I totally agree with their concern and fear of the possibility an open assault on the French Government by a militant Islamic populace.]

    The current riots throughout Western Europe are being whipped up and led by an alliance of Fundamentalist Islamist and members of the Far Left. This is true in both France and Italy, and in Spain, and in Belgium. It is growing in England and Ireland also.

    My advice: Keep your eyes open. They have the same thing planned for the USA. but it would or will be much harder in the U.S.A.

    All my love in Christ
    Desmond.
    p.s. I strongly advice a rereading of the totality of Ch. 8 in TTT - if you have a copy.

    There are some good American saints and mystics who spoke out. Fulton Sheen for one.

    But I don't think I ever read detailed prophesies such as they have in Europe by anyone from the USA .

    God has His reasons.

    Of course there are individuals from the USA on utube who claim fore knowledge about everything in great detail down to virtually the very hour. But I can never work up any enthusiasm for any of them. The best I can think is maybe, maybe not.

    Whereas in Europe you have pretty well a small army of Saints, Blessed and mystics all pretty well saying the same things about what is going on in the World at the minute. Really detailed, accurate prophesies.

    Stuff you can really take to the Bank.

    Hard to disagree with his conclusions.

    A few days ago, Antifa protesters managed to storm the entrance to the Colosseum in Rome, despite Meloni taking a tougher stance on protests compared to Emmanuel Macron in France. I started wondering whether they might attempt to do the same at the Vatican in the coming mouths.

    victor, allow me to share with you an observation on this subject give to me in 1989 by Mother Theresa of Calcutta. We brought her here to Denver in 1989. She spent the whole day in Denver - with a side trip to the Benedictine Abbey of St. Walbura, then located in Boulder, Colorado. That night we were flying to Edmonton, Alta, Canada. Mother had to be there the next day. I was sitting near her - and expressed to her the growing problems, conflicts, violence and political unrest in the USA. I asked her "What will it take to have peace here in our country." I do not remember her exact words. But the meaning was clear as a bell. She said that we would never know peace here as long as abortion was the problem it is here. Then there came a discussion about us needing God's protective hand - and foolishly expecting it when so many of God's babies are being killed/murdered in their mothers' wombs.

    But for those who know little about such things what do the Prophecies point to that have started happening at the moment? That there will be widespread religious unrest/ Revolution and Civil War in France and that it will spread with Great Rapidity to other countries notably Italy and Britain. That the red flag will be flown in St Peters and that the Pope will flee and be killed. That Russia seeing the chance with attack Europe from the East in conjunction with Islamic forces to the south occupying a huge portion of Europe. That there will be a huge persecution of the Faithful. That an Angelic Pope and Great Monarch will come who will defeat the invaders and restore the Church.

    Apparently there might be two Great Monarchs? One to defeat the Russians and Islam in France and one to defeat Islam in Spain and Portugal?

    I am not familiar with the Spanish/Portugese prophecies.

    I listened briefly last night to some commentators who said France may ask Russia to send troops to put down the rebellion. I couldn't believe it. They must have been joking. But if they weren't joking ...

    I think they were making fun of the French Government for being so useless.

    I’m hearing of a nuclear attack on Iran just after the mid term elections. Many countries are being told to stock up. Yes things are ramping up. The most recent message from our Blessed Mother is warning us.
