I once ran across a list on the web (which I can't find anymore) that listed all of the Christian/Catholic end-times heresies and movements from the 300s to the 1500s. Each century had at least 3 end-times movements that reached significant regional influence. With the Reformation, there grew to be too many to keep track of. But with so many errors, by the time the 1500s rolled around the Church started quietly suppressing eschatological speculation, leaving it to the wild-eyed Protestants with their date-settings and so on. That's why it's so hard for Catholics to come to grips with the fact that this stuff might be happening now.
Praetorian, I will state the same thing that I say to my husband almost daily, "Not the end of the world". That's not what I am predicting. I know that you are joking because no one here is predicting the end of the world or are they? PS- I live with someone like Dean with regards to prophecy and predictions, believe me I get it.
Back before Catholic Answers Forum changed platforms, I was a frequent poster on the "End Times Speculation" thread. At the time, it was much more active than it is now. I would frequently answer critics who basically said we were crypto-Protestants, maybe even HERETICS, for even DARING to study this subject. My reply was always to the effect that there was a word "eschatology" that the professionals used to describe this field; that if the professionals had a specific word for it, it must be pretty important; that the Magisterium has not prohibited the lay faithful from studying this field so long as we do not make pronouncements on what is Catholic teaching, and that in the forum we were not discussing the end of the world but the end of the Age.
I have watched the following video multiple times in the past and I just watched it again today. I am posting it because it contains a lot of good information about the apparitions at San Sebastian de Garabandal. The video was taken at a conference that was held in 1991 in Australia to discuss the apparitions. Near the 39 min. mark, there is a discussion about the prophecy of the number of popes and even back in 1991 before the death of Pope Saint John Paul II it was stated that the prophecy meant that the papacy of Pope Benedict would begin a new epoch in the Church which was referred to as "The End of Times" not the end of the world. Throughout the video you can witness the humility and obedience of the seers, Mari Loli and Jacinta, who were in attendance at this conference. In particular near the 54 min. mark, it is stated that Jacinta asked the Bishop of Santander if it was acceptable for her to attend the conference to which he obviously replied yes. In addition near the 1:06 min. mark, Maria Saraco who runs an apostolate on the apparitions discusses how the girls were told by the Blessed Mother that they will experience a confusion about the apparitions which should be associated to a future confusion that will be experienced in the Church.
You would be shocked... in my house i have to keep telling my wife... "I am not talking about the end of the world" we may be more similar than you think. Do I think some sort of warning/chastisement is coming and coming soon, yea I think likely so. I just don't think any of the dates we pick because of this or that are right. Like I have said before I was dumb and did dumb things over LTTW. And then I fell for a couple of other dates after that with great reason. But all that lead me to the MOG group too. Part of me really believed the year of mercy along with the star formation of revelation could be it. But by then I knew that it wouldn't be because it was so obvious. Part of me believes very much in Garabandal and the host on the tongue and then part of me is a skeptic because of Joey dying. But while I no longer believe anyone is going to pick a date and be right, I do believe it is likely coming. Yes someone could very well get the date right, but how many other dates did they pick first that were not right. Then again my grand kids could be having this same conversation with others 60 years from now.
Interesting. I wonder who gave Hitler all that money and resources to build such a force in a nation the size of Wisconsin.
Dean, Thank you for your post, I am sure that we are more alike than we are different from each other. I suppose my main focus is Garabandal and imho it is not about a miracle which is wonderful but it is about the path to heaven. Joey and Pope Saint John Paul II will see the miracle, I believe this to be true. I suppose I want people to be ready even if it doesn't seem to be possible, iow, maybe the Warning will be different than what many expect it to be. Guessing at dates isn't a matter of me trying to be right about things but a matter of suggesting to be ready for these things and suggesting that we try to be ready for anything. I suppose that means to try and be ready for anything at any time now, that is what we are supposed to do anyway. It may be a clue that more information was given about the timing of the Miracle, than the timing of the Warning. Maybe we are supposed to "guess" the timing of the Miracle and then know that the Warning is within twelve months prior to that date and that is all. I have many reasons to believe that the Miracle is 4/12/18 but I am certain that others here disagree with me because many have already and that's fine. Well, we'll know two weeks from tomorrow. May God bless you and your beautiful family.
God Seems to Be Pointing to March 31. Why? Fr Richard Heilman March 30, 2018 https://www.romancatholicman.com/january-31-super-blue-blood-moon-st-john-boscos-dreamprophecy-2/ Well known is St. John Bosco’s “dream of the two columns” where he foresaw the future difficulties of the Church, envisioned as a ship on stormy seas. Several popes strive to moor the Church and anchor it between two columns which arose amid the dangerous waters. The columns symbolized the two devotions to Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament and to Mary Immaculate, the Help of Christians. Calm and peace for the Church is won only when one of the popes finally succeeds in anchoring the Church between the two columns. Another St. John Bosco dream/prophecy is less-known, which can shed light on interpreting the dream of the two columns. The dream/prophecy ends as follows: “There shall yet come a violent hurricane. Iniquity is at an end, sin shall cease, and before two full moons shall have shone in the month of flowers, the rainbow of peace shall appear on earth … Throughout the world a sun so bright shall shine as never seen since the flames of the Cenacle until today, nor shall it be seen again until the end of time.” Here’s an interesting insight that will blow you away … This year, there is a rare occurrence of two full moons in the same month … two of these in the same year. When this happens, in any month, the second full moon, in that month, is referred to as a “blue moon.” Get this … On January 31, 2018, a super rare event will occur. This will be a “Super, Blue, Blood Moon.” “Super” because the moon is near to the earth. “Blue” because it is the second in a month. “Blood” because it will also be a lunar eclipse. Okay, that’s pretty cool. But here’s the kicker. January 31 is the Feast of St. John Bosco. Is God highlighting St. John Bosco? Wait, it get’s better. Remember that I said there are two Blue Moon events in one year? Want to know when the second one is? The second Blue Moon will occur in March, which contains the first day of Spring … you know, Spring … when flowers begin to bloom … “and before two full moons shall have shone in the month of flowers.” -St. John Bosco. There’s more! The Blue Moon in March occurs on March 31. What’s significant about that date? It coincides with Holy Saturday, which commemorates Our Lord’s descent into Hades and the Harrowing of Hell. Wait, there’s still more! Only now have I made all of these connections, concluding with this … March 31 is DAY 90 OF NINEVEH 90 FOR LIFE!! THE DAY WE ALL MAKE OUR MARIAN CONSECRATION!! WOW!!! Believe it or not, there is one last thing. St. John Bosco’s dream about the two moons in the month of flowers came to him on the Vigil of the Epiphany. Well …. that was the same time I made all of these connections … the same time I had an EPIPHANY! continued...
continued from above... My Interpretation “Pay Attention to St. John Bosco” -God I believe the Super Blue Blood Moon on the Feast of St. John Bosco is God trying to get our attention that there is something God wants us to notice, related to St. John Bosco. Historic Light Being Shone After 100 years of Satan’s unbinding, as prophesied by Pope Leo XIII, we are now seeing an “historic light” being shown on evil, that had been, up until now, allowed to move unabated, and is now being radically called into question. Even Pope Benedict held that this 100 years, most likely, began with Our Lady of Fatima’s warning in 1917 and would conclude in 2017, as he said this in 2010 … “May the seven years which separate us from the centenary of the apparitions hasten the fulfillment of the prophecy of the triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, to the glory of the Most Holy Trinity“. (Homily of His Holiness Benedict XVI, Esplanade of the Shrine of Our Lady of Fátima Thursday, 13 May 2010) It is more than interesting that the volcano of exposés (historic light) erupted with Harvey Weinstein on October 5, 2017. This was just two days before the Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary (and the conclusion of the 54 day Novena for Our Nation), and just nine days (a novena of days) before the 100th anniversary of the Miracle of the Sun in Fatima. Also note, these exposés erupted only 13 days after the September 23, 2017 Revelation 12 sign. Now, Hollywood – Yes! Hollywood! – is standing against the sexualization and objectification of women! WOW! Add to this the exposés (historic light) on corruption and collusion occurring within the ruling class; the cultural elites of politics and media. This “swamp” is being drained at an alarming rate. Please watch this speech: HERE. Judge Louis D. Brandeis is often quoted in situations such as this: “Publicity is justly commended as a remedy for social and industrial diseases. Sunlight is said to be the best of disinfectants.” I believe this “historic light” is what St. John Bosco’s dream is pointing to when he wrote, “…a sun so bright shall shine as never seen since the flames of the Cenacle until today.” Consider how far we have fallen into paganism in our times. Consider the worst genocide – abortion – in all of human history. Consider marriage redefined for the first time in all of civilization. Consider the “normalization” of corruption and collusion for gaining political power. All of these, and more, are being exposed as the horror that they are, just in the past few months, since the Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary. Epic Battle Recall that I alluded to the September 23, 2017 Revelation 12 sign. In the book of Revelation, it is interesting to note that this “sign” marked Satan being “thrown down.” This occurs precisely as the 100 years of Satan’s unbinding comes to an end. This sign is followed by the passage that says, “Now war arose in heaven, Michael and his angels fighting against the dragon. And the dragon and his angels fought back, but he was defeated, and there was no longer any place for them in heaven.” -Revelations 12:7-9 “The dragon and his angels fought back.” Look at the fierce battle being waged all around us, as the forces of death and darkness are panicked as they see their entrenched evil threatened. As Revelations 12:12 says, “…for the devil has come down to you in great wrath, because he knows that his time is short!” Secular Satanism, as Matt Walsh refers to it, is calling upon every worldly minion and every source of influence, in one of the most aggressive campaigns to retain all of the ground they have gained, up to now. But, their evil empire is crumbling before their eyes, and they know it. What Is Our Role? As this historic, epic battle is being waged all around us, we are called upon to be Mary’s Mighty Warriors! This is a battle to regain the surrendered ground of the supernatural, so we must engage as “supernaturalized warriors” wielding “supernatural weapons.” We are “supernaturalized” when we are completely loyal to Divine Revelation – Sacred Scripture and Sacred Tradition. We simply cannot break from this, even in the smallest way. God needs “loyal and trusted” soldiers. As Jesus said, “Do not think that I have come to abolish the law or the prophets. I have come not to abolish but to fulfill. Amen, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or the smallest part of a letter will pass from the law, until all things have taken place. Therefore, whoever breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do so will be called least in the Kingdom of heaven. But whoever obeys and teaches these commandments will be called greatest in the Kingdom of heaven” Matthew 5: 17-19. We are supernaturalized when we seek the amazing gift of purity found in the Sacrament of Confession. This includes making a “real” effort to put an end to any repetitive sin that has laid hold of us. Men, especially, have disqualified themselves with the sin of pornography and masturbation … no supernatural grace. The time is now, to unchain themselves from this demonic power over them. The supernatural weapons begin with frequent Communion and Adoration. Recall the two pillars in St. John Bosco’s dream. That means the other supernatural weapon for this battle is the ROSARY. The Church, which is comprised of it’s members, must moor (chain) themselves to the Eucharist and the Rosary, in this historic, epic battle. I can’t say I am sure of the significance of March 31. But whatever it is, I accept the call and I say … I’M GOING IN!UPDATE: It Happened! Today is March 31 – the day of the second full moon in one month, in the month of the first day of Spring (Flowers). Vatican News Reports: “As the sun set on Holy Saturday, a symbol of our Easter hope in the Resurrection appeared over St. Peter’s Basilica.” -Vatican News Category Heart, Latest Posts
Byron, I haven't checked Father Heilman's site in a week or more and noticed that Sparrow posted another article from him which contained this update on his story of St. Bosco's full moon prophecy. I also thought the pictures were beautiful and that they would be appreciated by many here.
Here is an update from Father Heilman on St. Bosco's prophecies, St. John Bosco Told Us This Year Would Happen Fr Richard Heilman | August 6, 2018 | https://www.romancatholicman.com/january-31-super-blue-blood-moon-st-john-boscos-dreamprophecy-2-2/ I wrote the following in January of this year … Well known is St. John Bosco’s “dream of the two columns” where he foresaw the future difficulties of the Church, envisioned as a ship on stormy seas.

There’s more! The Blue Moon in March occurs on March 31. What’s significant about that date? It coincides with Holy Saturday, which commemorates Our Lord’s descent into Hades and the Harrowing of Hell. Here is what I am writing now … March 31 was also the final day of Nineveh 90 for Life, when we saw tens of thousands of God-fearing souls make their Marian Consecration. It was also the day chosen to announce/launch Rosary Coast to Coast. And, it was also the day the Vatican reported the following … Vatican News Reports: “As the sun set on Holy Saturday, a symbol of our Easter hope in the Resurrection appeared over St. Peter’s Basilica.” -Vatican News Recall Bosco’s dream: “before two full moons shall have shone in the month of flowers, the rainbow of peace shall appear on earth.” Literally, as the sun set, just moments before the 2nd of the two moons in the month of flowers (Spring) appeared, a spectacular rainbow appeared above the Vatican. “There shall yet come a violent hurricane.” Of course, all of this was preceded by three monster hurricanes of historic proportions in 2017, the last of which was named, “Maria.” What then about this? “Throughout the world a sun so bright shall shine as never seen since the flames of the Cenacle until today, nor shall it be seen again until the end of time.” After 100 years of Satan’s unbinding, as prophesied by Pope Leo XIII, we are now seeing an “historic light” being shown on evil that had been, up until now, allowed to move unabated under the cover of darkness, and is now being radically revealed and called into question. Even Pope Benedict held that this 100 years, most likely, began with Our Lady of Fatima’s warning in 1917 and would conclude in 2017, as he said this in 2010 … “May the seven years which separate us from the centenary of the apparitions hasten the fulfillment of the prophecy of the triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, to the glory of the Most Holy Trinity“.

cont'd here Now, Hollywood – Yes! Hollywood! – is standing against the sexualization and objectification of women! WOW!

Consider the worst genocide – abortion – in all of human history. Consider marriage redefined for the first time in all of civilization. Consider the “normalization” of corruption and collusion for gaining political power. Consider the efforts to “normalize” sodomy, even among leaders in our Church. All of these, and more, are being exposed as the horror that they are, just in the past few months since the Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary, in the centennial year of Fatima.

In the culture, leading up to the appointment of a new Supreme Court Justice and as we get nearer to the midterm elections. In the Church, as the homosexual underbelly is exposed. We can recoil in despair, or we can have the hope that this “historic light” will bring a new era of peace. Now is the time to put on our supernatural armor and pick up our supernatural weapons and say … I’M GOING IN! I have been calling this, now worldwide, prayer campaign the “D-Day of Spiritual Warfare.” And, so it is!
