Something big is about to happen

I don't believe it will be political communism.

Rather a spiritual communism that denies the rule of God and promotes atheistic humanism as promoted by the new world order. Such as the recent Supreme Court decision in USA to promote abominable marriage, thus leaving believers exposed to potential persecution.

 

When I was young I remember communism was often prefixed by the word 'atheistic' denoting that one was presumed by the other. So I agree that the problem will be spiritual but I disagree that the political entity will be absent. But that is only my understanding from other commentators on the revelations from Garabandal. I see your point but doubt anyone would identify communism by itself with the USA and therefore the answer given by the Holy Mother that the Tribulation was Russia and Communism taken together with confirmation of invasion by these entities would be negated. Just my opinion. Russia and Communism means Russia and Communism. That is what Our Lady said. Promotion of such things as homosexual coupling will be one of the reasons that Russia and Communism will be allowed to punish the world. So the initiators and executors of the Tribulation will persecute those countries who have sinned without necessarily being guilty of the same same sin. Russia has not approved homosexual families. Russia and Communism will not realise they have been chosen as the instrument of punishment and will not see themselves in this role. Punishment for the sin of the world will not be the reason for invasion but the result. Russia and Communism will simply be the agency and executors.

 

"We asked the Virgin what the great trial was called and She told us it was communisn." Mari Loli
"He said the Americans are very naive in thinking that communism is dead......the same people who were in power under communism are still in power."
In 2011 Russian elections United Russia won 49% of votes and The Coomunist party won 19%. According to Garabandal, "communism will again be a force to be reckoned with in one final attempt at world domination."
"If we don't amend our ways, Russia will take possession of the whole world." Words in ecstasy witnessed by Conchita's aunt Antonia.
"The great wonder of God (Miracle) must be paid for with much blood through Europe." Padre Pio.
On failure of the Church (clergy and people) in Spain to reform....she (Russia) will again be the enemy by which God will punish her." Sister Lucy of Fatima, 1943.
The Warning will come "when Russia will unexpectedly and suddenly overrun and overwhelm a great part of the free world." Mari Loli.
"The Pope will go to Russia, to Moscow. As soon as he returns to The Vatican, hostilities will break out in different parts of Europe." Conchita Nov 14 1965.
These extracts are from Garabandal International July -Sept 2013.
The Communist party still holds second place in power in Russia as far as I know.

 

America and the entirety of the Western "Civilization" are basically Communist NOW. It's godlessness & secularism from a small ruling class with a thin veneer of democracy to fool those 95% who really aren't paying that much attention.

 

I agree America and much of the West is as Godless as atheistic communism but this is not Communism. It is just as bad as atheistic communism in its secularism and loss of a Christian moral compass but this is due to western culture not communism.
A revitalised Communism will persecute the West and as Padre Pio said Russia will teach it a lesson in conversion.

 

St. Francis of Assisi was hoeing his garden when someone asked what he would do if he were suddenly to learn that he would die before sunset that very day. "I would finish hoeing my garden," he replied.

This could be contagious!

 

This could be the 'great shaking' that is spoken of to take place globally. I would not want to live in California for all the $$$ in the world.

 

Peter, thank you for this post. Terry Bennett's recent talk is quite remarkable, especially when considering he is a protestant speaking to protestants:
https://soundcloud.com/terrybennett...nnettministries/sets/sundays-at-the-gathering

 

I agree. This is definitely worth listening. He has much wisdom for our times and speaks often of living in the Divine Will. At around the 55 minute mark he speaks of the 4 things he was shown for our country as follows:

1. Eruptions (I am thinking this is what Mark Mallett calls the Shakening)
2. Chaos
3. Terror of Lawlessness
4. Nightmare of Control
5. Rebirth of the Nation

 

Economically, the House of Cards is falling. With China's stock market crashing, I can't see the USA "standing above the fray" much longer.

LORD HAVE MERCY!

Investors are flocking to assets that offer some safety as China’s stock rout and Greece’s possible exit from the euro roil global markets. About 45 percent of China’s listed companies are suspended, leading traders to sell what they can. With Federal Reserve meeting minutes due Wednesday, the twin crises have prompted some investors to push back estimates for when U.S. rates may rise.

“China’s stock market rout is now spreading to other financial markets, creating a sweeping sense of panic and a liquidity crunch,” Zheng Ge, an analyst at Wanda Futures Co., said by phone in Beijing.

I'm posting information on an article by Walid Shoebat, a former member of the PLO and jihadist who became a Christian. He believes Iran will get a nuclear bomb and use it against Saudi Arabia to conquer its sectarian rival in the Islamic world.

This is an excerpt:

There is much in the Bible about Iran and it even described the nuclear catastrophe that will result from Obama’s nuclear deal with it. You think this is far-fetched? Just read. For years, Bible prophecy analysts had missed the verses and for years, we have been on record stating that Iran will gain its nukes and so far we were the few who were correct, while the rest still contemplate Israel removing the threat before it happens. We were no geniuses to figure all this, we just read the Bible as Muslims and saw in it that we needed salvation, so we converted and believed.

But before we share the obvious references that are rarely read, lets explain how this deal is a total catastrophe...

Iran holds the world’s fourth-largest proved crude reserves and the second-largest natural gas reserves, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. The Iran nuclear deal is likely to provide little benefit for the U.S., and big benefits to one of its brokers—China—giving Beijing greater room to ramp up Iranian oil imports as part of a global buying binge.

The terms of Obama’s deal with Iran failed to achieve the goal of denying Iran the capacity to build a nuclear bomb. By lifting sanctions, this enabled Iran’s theocratic rulers to increase their ability to advance further into Iraq, since the international community is removing the sanctions, and Iran is keeping its nuclear program, this making Shia Iran the major competitor for leadership in the Muslim world after Turkey, while beating Saudi Arabia and its Gulf allies who fear Iran’s influence among their own Shia populations.

Tehran, shortly will lead to Iran supplanting Saudi Arabia as America’s main ally in the Persian Gulf ensuring Iran to remain in conflict with Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia, the richest Sunni power and birthplace of Islam is now in check.

Instead of peace, we will soon see Iran’s advance, increasing further in the series of interventions in conflicts that have ratcheted up sectarian tensions, from Syria to Iraq to Yemen. Iran’s sphere of influence now spans from Tehran to Beirut and from Baghdad and Damascus, while Saudi Arabia is isolated and will only share its sentiment about Iran with its old rival Israel. This will continue to paint Saudi Arabia’s regime as a Zionist sympathizer and will further isolate it from its neighbors...

Here's something scientific that may relate to signs of our times

 

The Book of Revelation and the Third Secret indicates a mega world quake.

I have no idea how scientifically that might occur.

 

A pole shift from an incoming asteroid?

 

Here's a link to the original article in the New Yorker: The Really Big One
There's also this article from the Oregonian which had a live chat with a local earthquake expert:
http://www.oregonlive.com/pacific-n...f/2015/07/quake_tsunami_experts_advise_n.html
Do a Google search on the article and you'll find a host of other articles accusing it of fear-mongering and getting facts wrong, etc. Based on my reading the article and reading the rebuttals, I'd say
1) yes, it is sensationalized (SHOCK! An article in a lay magazine attempted to get eyes on the article to generate revenue!) and
2) It's more right than not. A LOT more right. Granted, you might not see 50-ft tsunami waves hitting downtown Seattle, but they don't have to be huge to do major damage, esp. if floodwalls, bridges, etc. have been already been damaged.

The 6th Seal of Revelation is opened, and a great earthquake occurs. There's also a great earthquake in Ezekiel 39, although that seems limited to just Israel. I don't think there is a scientific reason for it: G_D wants to get the attention of all the people all over the world, and so lets every fault loose at once.

 

I do not know if this was discussed before in this forum, but they do say that among all those immigrants coming via Macedonia and Serbia in Europe there are hundred of thousands of moslims (according to state television BIH Srbska RTRS) and many of them belong to IS. This way they will try to create terror in Europe and kill all "unbelievers". Your comments are welcome. Padraig, perhaps I should go to Ireland ...

 

I don't think there is an oasis anywhere Elisa.

From that article padraig posted:

"the Fed thought conditions for a US rate rise "were approaching", but the economy was not ready yet."

Doing their level best to force everyone to gamble on this inflated market just to grab a tiny slice of a return to try to stave off inflation, aren't they.

When my coworkers start asking me about things like dividend stocks because they're sick of a decade of zero interest, at these valuations, that's when I get close to pulling up tent stakes.

With just the smallest of rate hikes I imagine there's going to be a massive sucking sound on Wall Street as the average joe runs for the exists and into the safety of CD's, finally grateful for 2%. And many of us were around for both the 2000 and 07/08 fiascos, so total capitulation of those of us in middle age is a real possibility. When it takes a decade to recover from these gross asset bubbles, why take the risk when you can park into cash in a rising rate environment. I think many will.

Then one can only imagine what it will be like to service our nation's debt load when rates climb. The thought of spending a trillion or more dollars a year for interest alone boggles the mind. And our single-party system, that is to say, the Big Spending Party, marches on and on.

Even the most stable-minded of investing experts say the same thing as others: "completely uncharted waters, we have no idea what is going to happen when rates rise after such a profound, prolonged time of zero rates." It could devastate other nations.

And the WSJ keeps hammering the drum: "There are no more weapons left. If we need a strategy to combat future problems, zero rates and the free money trick is gone."

Actually they do cite one thing left to do - negative rates.
