Agnus Dei Presents!

2001 -- the day of infamy, 9/11, was, indeed, as no one can dispute, a worldwide event which shook the conscience of every human being on this planet.  Was it the three-hour warning that has been so long anticipated?  For the entire event unfolded before the world within that time and corresponds in many spiritual ways to Chapter 18 of the Book of Apocalypse.  Whether one believes it was the spiritual Warning or not,  the importance of this opening salvo of evil at the very beginning of the Millennium cannot be understated.

For it is an act that the world cannot ignore that begins a war the world wishes to ignore.  A war that encompasses the whole world -- the undeclared World War III, with the ultimate aim of the islamists for the destruction of not only Western civilization, but the nation of Israel.

But it is a war in which the Queen of Heaven has stated to a visionary that no one, in the end, will be victorious.

On the Feast of the Holy Rosary, October 7th, the U.S. responds to this attack as nation rises against nation overthrowing the Taliban government of Afghanistan.  No one officially invokes the intercession of the Blessed Virgin as had been done by nations so many times in the past in Christianity’s millennia-old fight against islam.

2002 -- Palestinian terrorists, in order to escape Israeli forces, seize control of the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem, the very place where Christ was born, and desecrate the holy site and one of the oldest Bibles in the world.  The blasphemy is so intense, one finds it hard to even write of it.  Out of fear, the event is covered up and denied by many in the Church.

In Indonesia, terrorists strike maiming and killing tourists at a popular club.  Two-hundred-and-two foreigners from more than 23 nations are murdered.  Among those arrested is the “smiling” bomber who thought that by murdering he is doing a service for God.  “There is no regret at all for him,” said the chief investigator.  “Doing his duty to God, he shows no regret.  He’s very calm; very cool … proud of his activities.”  However, when he faced the firing squad in 2008, suddenly he was no longer smiling, but was “pale-faced and shaking in the moments before his execution.”

Daniel Pearl is beheaded and his brutal execution is videotaped and released for all to see by the evil islamic followers of the false prophet.

Before islamic terrorism reached these incredibly vile heights, Mary had warned, in 1989, who moslems are really following:

“666 indicated once, that is to say, for the first time, expresses the year 666.  In this period of history, the antichrist is manifested through the phenomenon of islam, which directly denies the mystery of the divine Trinity and the divinity of our Lord Jesus Christ … .”

2003 -- The ongoing Darfur conflict gets worse as moslems begin ethnic cleansing against all others in the region.  By the time a shaky peace is brokered seven years later, almost half a million people will be dead through murder, disease and starvation.  More than 5 million are affected throughout the Sudan, displaced from their homes and living as refugees.

The space shuttle Columbia disintegrates over the Western U.S. attempting to reenter into Earth’s atmosphere.  All seven astronauts, including the first Israeli ever to fly in space, are lost in the flaming debris.

On the Feast of St. Joseph, March 19, the U.S. invades another moslem nation, Iraq, again without invoking the intercession of the Blessed Virgin.

While Western Christians celebrate the Birth of Christ, a massive 6.6 quake strikes Iran killing more than 30,000 people.

2004 -- On exactly the same day after Christmas, one year later and almost to the hour, an incredible 9.3 earthquake in the Indian Ocean devastates a large geographical area.

The hypocenter of the quake is the nation of Indonesia; the hardest-hit area was the moslem-dominated Aceh province, the place where islam was first established in Southeast Asia.

The resulting mega tsunami accounted for the deaths of at least 230,000, mostly in Aceh, and affected more than 1.69 million people.

The quake itself lasted an outrageous 8 to 10 minutes and caused subsequent shaking in places as faraway as Alaska.  This is the 3rd largest quake ever recorded.  The power of this event slightly altered the Earth’s rotation and caused the planet to “wobble” on its axis.

Despite the horrific tragedy, Church officials declare a miracle in India at the Basilica of Our Lady of Good Health.  While more than 1,000 lives were lost around the Church, an incredible event occurred as a sign to believers:

“The killer waves surged and came up to the entrance of the main basilica where the statue of Our Lady of Vailankanni is present and receded after touching the first steps of the basilica’s outer door,” diocesan officials declared in a December 30th statement.

More than 2,000 pilgrims were at the Shrine when the tsunami hit, but “people who were inside the basilica were untouched by the monstrous killer waves,” the statement declared.

Amazingly, the Church is only 325 feet from the beach and had been originally built by Portuguese sailors in thanksgiving to the Lord and His Mother for being spared from a cyclone in the 17th Century.  The Shrine has since been remade into a replica of the one in Lourdes.

On 3/11, islamic terrorists again attack.  Civilian trains in Madrid, Spain are targeted and 191 innocent victims are slaughtered.

In another gruesome video, Nicholas Berg is beheaded by evil men posing as believers in their so-called “merciful god” when, in reality, they are doing the devil’s work trying to instill fear in those who reject their corrupt religion and despicable ways.

In September, Russia experiences an islamic terror attack as 1,500, mostly children, are taken hostage at a school; outrage is felt around the world as 335 will be counted dead and 700 wounded when the horrific event is over.

2005 -- In March, an 8.7 quake shakes Indonesia again, the world’s most populous islamic nation.  But apparently these continuous quakes are not enough to shake the islamic mentality from its terrorist and evil bent.

A few months later, in October, six men wielding machetes attack three Christian teenage girls on their way to school.  After beheading two of them, one girl’s head is left in front of a Church while the other is left in the girls’ village with a mocking note attached.  The third girl survives with deep wounds on her neck but she is able to identify the barbaric attackers.

On April 2, the first Saturday of the month and the eve of the Divine Mercy Feast he inaugurated, Pope John Paul II passes on to his heavenly reward.  Four million people attend his funeral and the Lord makes a definitive statement about the pope’s life when suddenly, in an overpowering gust of wind, the Gospel (John 21:15-19) that was read during his funeral Mass is abruptly shut before all the world to see.

This was considered the largest single gathering in Christianity’s history.

Is it also, as we near the late pontiff’s beatification in 2011, a sign that the Divine Mercy doors he so powerfully opened are slowly closing to give way soon to the Just Judge?

On 7/11, islamic terrorists attack the civilian transportation system of London murdering 52 innocent victims and injuring more than 700.

At the end of August, more than 1,800 are killed and the city of New Orleans, along with other Gulf cities, are devastated by Hurricane Katrina.

The 7.6 Kashmir earthquake occurs killing 79,000, injuring more than 106,000.

On the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe, scientists announce they have created mice with human brain cells implanted in them.

2006 -- After serving 25 years, the would-be assassin of Pope John Paul II is released from prison.  While initial evidence indicated the reason for the attack was the fear communist leaders had regarding the power of the Polish Pope, the former dictator of Poland has now claimed that islamic terrorism was the real reason behind the attempted murder.  The attacker's first name is the Turkish equivalent of mohammed (which translates, ironically,  to "perfect one").

In May, after a 6.3 earthquake that kills almost 7,000 people and leaves a million-and-a-half homeless, a mud volcano starts spewing its deadly toxins in Indonesia.  As of 2011, the world’s largest mud volcano is spilling at least 1 million cubic feet of noxious material from beneath the Earth a day and is expected to last another 25 to 30 years before subsiding.

Within a month of the explosive volcano, another quake, 6.3, hits Indonesia again killing more than 6,000 and leaving another 1.5 million homeless.  By July, a 7.7 will hit the island nation with a resulting tsunami that will kill 700 and devastate areas of Indonesia that were not originally affected by the 2004 quake.

In July, what Israelis have come to call the "Second Lebanon War" is fought as the islamic so-called "party of god" (hezbollah) is armed with new weapons by the nations of Syria and Iran.  With no end in sight to the conflict, a shaky cease-fire was declared in mid-August and sporadic fighting between the two sides continues today.

In Sudan, moslems again go on a killing rampage, murdering more than 200,000 victims, many of whom are Christians, and causing 2.5 million to become refugees.

2007 -- On the Feast of the Assumption, an 8.0 earthquake strikes Peru.  Neither are the good spared as those attending Mass are killed when a Church collapses in one city and a Cathedral is destroyed in another.

Three major quakes in a row, one measuring 8.5, again shake up Indonesia.

A cyclone with winds measuring more than 100 mph devastates Bangladesh killing thousands of people and leaving more than 1 million homeless.

2008 -- On the Feast of St. Joseph, GRB, or Gamma Ray Burst 080319B, became the farthest object ever detected and seen by the naked eye.  The explosion lasted for 1 minute and scientists claim that the original burst of super energy occurred approximately “half the time since the Big Bang.”

“And there shall be signs in the … stars.”

On the Feast of the Annunciation, a 160-square-mile chunk of Antarctica’s ice shelf disintegrates.  To put this in perspective, the mountainous chunk is about the size of New York City.  Initial claims blame so-called global warming, but the reality is earthquakes between South America and Antarctica are the undermining cause.

More than 130,000 people are killed by a cyclone in Burma in an area that was already devastated by the 2004 tsunami.

An 8.0 earthquake strikes China, leaving 69,000 dead in its wake.

Four days before holding the Olympic Games, billed as "One World, One Dream," China feels a different quake of homegrown islamic terrorists.  Sixteen are dead in the wake of the attack.

The Large Hadron Collider begins operation as mankind tries to “recreate” the first elements and events that are believed to be part of the creation of the Universe.

Terrorists strike in Mumbai, India murdering more than 195 innocents and maiming 250.  As indicative of islamic brutality, Jewish victims are ritually slaughtered.

The world is reminded of the crimes of communism when DNA results confirm remains found are those of the murdered tsar, Nicholas II of Russia.  Coincidentally, or perhaps not, the announcement was made on the eve of the Feast of St. Nicholas, a day in which many nations begin celebrations.

It was the errors of Russia as a communist nation that Mary warned the world during Her messages as Our Lady of the Rosary.  It was “Mary’s Pope” who not only survived communism but brought down the evil empire, without a shot being fired, through the power of the Rosary he shared with his fellow Poles.

The International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda convicts army officers for the genocide that occurred in 1994.  Earlier in 1982, Mary appeared to school children in an apparition now known as Our Lady of Kibeho.  In this, Mary warned that without prayers a “river of blood” would flow in Rwanda.  Her messages were deemed authentic and worthy of belief first in 1988 and definitive judgment made in 2001.

On the Feast of the Holy Innocents, Israel is, once again, at war trying to stop intense rocket attacks from the Gaza strip.

Maharishi Mahesh Yogi dies with his organization claiming that more than 6 million people have adopted his “transcendental meditation” approach to life.  “Training” involves teaching disciples how to levitate.

Former disciples of his include Deepak Chopra.  Two years earlier, Chopra had, with Richard Branson, launched “Virgin Comics” to “spread peace and awareness through comics and trading cards that display traditional kabalistic characters and stories.”

“And Jesus answering, said to them:  ‘Take heed that no man seduce you.  …   And many false prophets shall rise and shall seduce many.  …  For there shall arise false Christs and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders, insomuch as to deceive (if possible) even the elect.' ”  Matthew 24:4, 11 and 24.

2009 -- The deadiest bushfires in Australia’s history take place leaving hundreds dead and injured, as well as thousands homeless.

Despite constant claims of “victim” status by moslems and complaints of discrimination, once again, followers of the false prophet behead another innocent victim, a Polish geologist, and proudly display their barbaric act for all the world to witness.

Interestingly, as usual, there is no outcry from the islamic community against this evil nor do any followers of this satanic cult help to bring the murderers to justice.  Just more whining and angry proclamations about how “offended” they are; though ironically not offended by gruesome beheadings.

For in the 3rd Millennium, it is obvious, as the Blessed Virgin has warned, that the antichrist continues to be manifested through islam’s satanic teachings of its false prophet as exhibited by its ungodly acts.

The insane asylum known as “North Korea” conducts its second test of a nuclear bomb.

An Air France flight from Rio de Janeiro to Paris crashes in the Atlantic Ocean with total loss of life.  A criminal investigation continues today and recently more debris was discovered on the ocean floor.  It has been officially stated that two known islamic terrorists were on board.

The fraudulent results of the Iranian election allow the maniacal regime to maintain its crushing power.  In the following years, hundreds who protest against the illegitimate government will be murdered in a brutal crackdown against them.

An 8.3 quake with a resulting tsunami shakes the Samoan Islands.  The very next day a 7.6 strikes Sumatra killing 1,000 in Indonesia.

2010 -- A 7.0 earthquake strikes the island of Haiti and completely devastates the capital.  With a death toll of 316,000, it is among the most deadliest ever recorded.

An Ethiopia Airlines jet crashes into the Mediterranean after takeoff from Beirut, Lebanon.  All 82 aboard are killed.  An investigation continues today with reports that a recently captured Saudi national, known for terrorist activities, has given testimony that a bomb aboard the plane was the cause of the disaster.

A little more than a month after the destruction of Haiti, an 8.8 magnitude strikes the city of Concepcion in Chile.  This quake is one of the largest ever recorded and creates a worldwide tsunami, with waves causing damage in California and the coast of Japan.

The quake also shortened the length of the Earth’s day and changed the position of its axis.  The entire city of Concepcion was moved 10 feet to the West.  The strength of this quake caused seiches (standing waves, one that “remain in a constant position”) to appear on Lake Pontchartrain in the city of New Orleans.

On Easter Sunday, a 7.2 quake strikes the border between Mexico and the United States.  While the media ignores this event because no damage is reported in Southern California, the border towns of Calexico and Mexicali suffer extensive damage.  More than 20 million people feel the tremor, including those as far away as Las Vegas.  Over 500 aftershocks are recorded.

The event, aka 2010 Easter Earthquake, occurred along the Guadalupe Victoria fault line, named for the Victory of the One Who crushes the serpent.  It was the third major quake to rattle the Western Hemisphere within the last three months.

Outrageously, the false teacher, Deepak Chopra, takes credit for causing the Easter quake by telling followers that he was "meditating on shiva [a pagan goddess] mantra & earth began to shake.  Sorry about that."

Isn't that what everybody does nowadays on the Feast of the Resurrection of Christ?  "Meditate" on false gods and goddesses?

A 6.9 earthquake strikes China killing 2,000 and maiming 10,000.

Ash from an Icelandic volcanic eruption disrupts European air travel for more than a month, causing $200 million a day in losses to the airlines of the world.  Every international airport around the globe is affected by the event.

Less than a week later, a manmade disaster occurs.  An oil spill occurs off the coast of Louisiana when the Deepwater Horizon platform explodes in the Gulf of Mexico.  The resulting damage is one of the worst in history and is still being calculated in terms of environmental and economic impact.

Scientists make the ridiculous claim that as a result of their “research” in the Neanderthal genome project, these so-called subhumans interbred with our early ancestors.  Critical reviews of the claim will cite “inconsistent results” and “serious problems with data quality” due to contamination.  But that does not stop the believers in evolution from promulgating the distorted data to further their desired goal of downgrading any belief in a Creator.

On October 13, the anniversary date of the Miracle of the Sun at Fatima, 33 (a significant number in our Lord’s life) Chilean miners are brought back to the surface to, once again, see the miracle of the sun, after being trapped for 69 days in San Jose (St. Joseph) Mine.  They survived their underground ordeal, three-quarters of a mile below the Earth’s surface, through prayer and faith.  The disaster had begun on the Feast of Our Lady of Snows, only six months after the powerful 8.8 quake that had shaken their nation.

“Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans, because they have suffered such things?  I tell you, no; but unless you repent, you will all perish in the same manner.  Or those eighteen upon whom the tower fell in Siloe, and slew them:  think you, that they also were debtors above all the men that dwelt in Jerusalem?  No, I say to you; but except you do penance, you shall all likewise perish”  Luke 13:1-5.

Pope Benedict had sent each man a Rosary and the archbishop of Santiago personally delivered them to the trapped miners.  Los 33 (the 33 trapped men) had set up a makeshift Chapel and conducted daily prayers.  Statues of the Virgin Mary, Crucifixes and Bibles were sent down the shaft to help the copper miners in their time of trial and tribulation.  Upon their miraculous rescue, the president of Chile stated, “Faith has moved mountains.”

Like a holy soul in Purgatory, when the first miner rescued reached the surface, “he immediately knelt on the ground with his hands together in prayer then raised his arms above him in adoration.”

A 7.7 earthquake strikes off the coast of Sumatra occurring on the same fault line that caused the 2004 tsunami disaster in Indonesia.  More than 20,000 were affected in this event while at least 500 lost their lives.

The day after the earthquake, a volcanic eruption occurs in Indonesia killing hundreds and forcing thousands to evacuate.  Is there a correlation that so much volcanic and earthquake activity keeps occurring in the land that proudly bills itself to be the most populous moslem nation and which saw the beheading of young, innocent and defenseless Christian schoolgirls?

For the first time in mankind’s history, the Large Hadron Collider traps what scientists claim is “antimatter.”

The United Nations Climate Change Conference is held in Cancun, Mexico.  Christiana Figueres, executive secretary of the U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change, invokes the ancient jaguar goddess Ixchel in her opening statement to delegates gathered from around the world.

In her absurd invocation, she states that Ixchel was not only goddess of the moon, but also “the goddess of reason, creativity and weaving.  May she inspire you — because today, you are gathered in Cancun to weave together the elements of a solid response to climate change, using both reason and creativity as your tools.”

No one blinks an eye at her ridiculous remarks which “coincidentally” occur a week before the celebrations in Mexico associated with the first apparition of Our Lady of Guadalupe.  No spiritual battle to see here; just move along.

2011 -- The late December 2010 floods spill over into 2011.  In the Southern Hemisphere, the event becomes known as the “summer of floods,” as deadly waters raced through the continent of Australia from what experts call an “inland tsunami” and a cyclone.  The floods cause thousands to be displaced and results in more than $30 billion in damage.  A resulting plague occurs in 2011.

The continent-changing event is blamed on La Nina, the counterpart to El Nino.  La Nina symbolically signifies Mary as a Holy Child, with El Nino representing Jesus as an Infant.

Almost six months after the island nation miraculously escaped damage from a 7.1 quake in 2010, a 6.3 tremor devastates New Zealand in February.  Considered to be among many aftershocks of the 7.1, the prime minister in surveying the damage done by the 6.3 quake to Christchurch calls it “New Zealand’s darkest day.”

Approximately 30 million tons of ice was dislodged from nearby glaciers causing a tsunami as a result.  Because of liquefaction damage, many areas of the historic city cannot be rebuilt.

The Cathedral of the Blessed Sacrament, already closed as a result of the September 2010 7.1 quake, was more severely devastated in February’s shocker.  After 4,000 aftershocks, the monsignor of the Cathedral stated that the building had been “quite humbled,” and “all that was left at the top was a cross piercing the sky -- two angels abreast keeping vigil.”

At the beginning of the year, a people quake spreads throughout the Middle East as islamic fundamentalists foment uprisings seeking to gain control over various nations and making each that falls into their fascist hands sharia compliant.

In response to this people quake, again the U.S. begins military action against an islamic nation, this time Libya, once more striking on the Feast of St. Joseph, the Patron of America, without invoking his intercession.

Occurring oddly enough on the infamous terror date of 3/11, in this year, the first Friday of Lent, a megaquake strikes Japan registering 9.0.

The resulting devastating tsunami brings the death toll to more than 12,000 with 15,000 unaccounted for.

A few days before the disaster, scientists in Japan unveiled the world’s first “geminoid,” an uncanny and lifelike robot that completely acts like its human counterpart on the outside yet looks beastly on the inside (see “in japan:  a robot” link in banner for more details).

The megathrust of the quake moved the island of Honshu almost 8 feet and shifted the Earth’s axis by 4 inches.

The crisis goes nuclear when reactors damaged in the area begin leaking radioactive material into the atmosphere, ground and water, spreading their toxic pollution throughout the planet.

As of this writing, there is no end in sight to this ongoing crisis and we will end our review at this critical juncture.  Why?  To ask the vital question:

Was this another wakeup call for mankind?

For in this earth-shaking event, believers are brought back to remember the critical message spoken of by the Virgin Mary as Our Lady of Akita, Japan, given October 13, 1973:

“As I told you, if men do not repent and better themselves, the Father will inflict a terrible punishment on all humanity.  It will be a punishment greater than the deluge, such as one will never have seen before.  Fire will fall from the sky and will wipe out a great part of humanity, the good as well as the bad, sparing neither priests nor faithful.  The survivors will find themselves so desolate that they will envy the dead.  The only arms which will remain for you will be the Rosary and the Sign left by My Son.  Each day recite the prayers of the Rosary.  With the Rosary, pray for the Pope, the bishops and priests.

“The work of the devil will infiltrate even into the Church in such a way that one will see cardinals opposing cardinals, bishops against bishops.  The priests who venerate me will be scorned and opposed by their confreres ... churches and altars sacked; the Church will be full of those who accept compromises and the demon will press many priests and consecrated souls to leave the service of the Lord.

“The demon will be especially implacable against souls consecrated to God.  The thought of the loss of so many souls is the cause of my sadness.  If sins increase in number and gravity, there will be no longer pardon for them.”  ...

"Pray very much the prayers of the Rosary.  I alone am able still to save you from the calamities which approach.  Those who place their confidence in me will be saved."

Spoken 56 years after the Miracle of the Sun in 1917, is the 1973 message not a reflection of our times, 38 years after the message of Akita?

As the fire continues to fall from the skies of Japan blanketing the whole world, the attacks of the devil and his followers within the very hallowed walls of the Church are not abating.

In this, we invoke before Him and the Heavenly Court, Matthew 24 pleading with Christ our King to shorten these days and tribulations with the definitive Triumph of His Mother’s Immaculate Heart and His Return and Reign.
 

And so, as we continue to live the Apocalypse of the Millennium of Disasters, how should we react?

Should we not live like the priests who survived the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, and their brethren who were spared the blast at Nagasaki, as they did, the message of Fatima?

In this, should we not, also, put on the Armor of God, and be like 21st Century Joan of Arcs, going into battle with the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary as our Shield and the Banner of the Holy Face of Christ as our standard.

Let us not, then, let the evil of others, whether inside or outside the Church, bring us to disbelief or a crisis of faith.  Nor should we forget that no matter who sins, whether they wear a collar or tiara, the dogmas of the Church will always be true and every knee shall bow before Christ the King, even as the Angel at Fatima did before the Holy Eucharist.

Therefore, we must remember that we, too, will be judged not only on our own relationship with God, but how we affected other souls as well.

As we await, then, that day, during this time of the Visitation of Christ, the King of Mercy, until that fateful day when Mercy yields to the Just Judge, we must live as He Wills:  in the total Truth of the invocation “Jesus, I trust in You!”

“He that giveth testimony of these things, saith, ‘Surely, I come quickly.’  Amen.  Come, Lord Jesus”  Apocalypse 22:20.

The 3rd Millennium

“And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the Earth distress of nations, by reason of the confusion of the roaring of the sea and of the waves … ”  Luke 21:25.

“For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there shall be pestilence, and famines, and earthquakes in places;  now all these things are the beginnings of sorrows.  Then they shall deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall put you to death; and you shall be hated by all nations for My Name’s sake.  And then shall many be scandalized … ”  Matthew 24:7-10.

Since the beginning of the 3rd Millennium, the increasing frequency of global disasters has become apparent.

While the millenniums which preceded this also had their sorrowful share of horrific events, the difference is this new century has seen the time frame between shortened immensely.

In the past, wars came and went with decades separating them.  Today, however, global catastrophes follow quickly one upon the other.  Are they, then, a signal of true Apocalyptic ends?

We believe so and the facts and events, as they say, speak for themselves.

Just a partial review of Christ’s Words, as quoted above, show how much these signs are quickly piling one on top of the other with no let up in sight.

The tsunamis of our time have been global disasters; wars among nations and kingdoms are spreading throughout the world from the Middle East to Asia involving the Western nations of the world.

The megaquakes, packing outrageous destructive forces, are scattered throughout the world (indeed, there are so many that have occurred in this decade, registering well above 7.0, that we do not have enough time or space to mention them all).

Christians are being persecuted and martyred everywhere.

Even in the West, especially in Europe, the original bedrock of the faith, believers are hated.

And who is not scandalized by the scandal of scandals within His Church?

These scandals have not only caused immense suffering for the victims, but also for the faithful who have seen since 2002 the conviction of priests, resignations of bishops, and multimillion-dollar payoffs to victims causing bankruptcies at various dioceses, while a black hole of sinful revelations continue to make news even today.

We will not focus on these despicable and all-too-many numerous events (see "new heresy" link in banner for more facts), except to state that they, too, are a sign of the end times:

“And whosoever shall scandalize one of these little ones that believe in Me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea”  Mark 9:41.

What, then, is so different about all these outrageous events, besides the increasing frequency with which they are occurring and the obvious fulfillment of Christ’s Words?

It is, we believe, tied to the two most important events that opened this very 3rd Millennium; the 3rd Day on God’s time clock in which a day is but a thousand years and a thousand years but a day to Him. 

At the opening of the 3rd Millennium, the pope, John Paul the Great, as he is lovingly and rightfully called, accomplished the Lord’s Will by first canonizing Faustina, the Secretary of Divine Mercy, as Jesus called Her, and promulgated, again at the request of the Lord Himself, the Universal Feast of Divine Mercy to be celebrated on the first Sunday after Easter.

This is the very same Sunday in which two millennia ago Doubting Thomas was confronted with the Wounds of Christ while behind a locked door with the other Apostles (John 20:24-27).

Then, on October 8 of the Jubilee Year, John Paul continued making this Millennium different from any other by another incredible act:  the Consecration of these thousand years to the Immaculate Heart of Mary!

As we have stated, this is the beginning, the Alpha, of the Triumph of the Immaculata.  Indeed, Mary has stated consistently to a visionary that God is now preparing the definitive, the Omega, of Her Triumph before our eyes.

In this will come the last warning which God has spoken of to many of His prophets, including His Secretary of Mercy, St. Faustina, who records it in her diary.  As part of her diary, Jesus has, as He did in the Gospels, specifically warn of ignoring His great Gift of Mercy.  For this, with the universal institution of the Divine Mercy Feast, is the time He spoke of to St. Faustina as the Visitation of Christ, the King of Mercy.

And this, above all others, is the key to the Truth that we are living the events so long described as the Apocalyptic “end times.”

Since these miraculous events which John Paul brought about at the zenith of his pontificate, can we look back at the first decade of this Millennium and confirm that not much time is left before Christ returns -- as He spoke to St. Faustina -- as the Just Judge?  We believe, if one looks objectively at the historical record, that the events spoken of in Luke and Matthew are clearly happening in a time frame that does not leave much room for doubt.

From the roaring of the sea and of the waves, to the scandal itself, all are a definitive prelude to the greatest Event:  “the Son of Man coming in the clouds of Heaven with much power and majesty” Matthew 24:30.

To confirm this, the short time which remains as the Visitation of Christ, the King of Mercy, what has God allowed to happen on this planet?

He has allowed, it seems, for all to see that mercy has certainly not been a priority between men and nations, nor even some priests and the faithful.

Only in the King of Mercy will the world and the Church find the peace it claims it so desperately longs for.

And we will not truly see that Mercy until that time when the world finally cries out and “all the tribes of the Earth mourn” (Matthew 24:30) then “every eye shall see Him, and they also that pierced Him.  And all the tribes of the Earth shall bewail themselves because of Him” (Apocalypse 1:7).

Until then, we will continue to live the Millennium of Disasters.

With these critical verses and historic knowledge before us, here is a brief but concise rundown of spiritually world-shattering events (while these events do not include every possible tie in to our discussion, and do not include vital aspects regarding the “culture of death,”  the importance of each disaster, specifically from the prophetic stance, is their increasing frequency and global impact).

We will begin with the first event after 2000, that time known as the Great Jubilee Year of Divine Mercy.

A year which did not see mercy in the Middle East as the "second intifada" was launched by Palestinians against Israel; once again with the two sides clashing over the Temple Mount.

What has transpired since?
