No pope has. There have been talks for the last 3 years about Pope Francis visiting, but nothing has ever been confirmed. IMO, there is no possible way the Warning happens in February or March, just before the Miracle which is supposed to happen in the month of April.
In my opinion, we have not seen all 3 pre-warning events, to qualify the early months of this year for the Warning. Since we know the Miracle is in April, that means the Warning would have to happen very soon ( February or March ) and I serious doubt it will,almost impossible.
More speculation? As much as we hope/pray it be so, I didn't hear him offer why this year. "2020" vision does appeal to us all. Depending on the contents of the Exhortation, yes it sure could be enough of a turning point. But what of the Pope going to Moscow? Is that a detail that is open to change based on our behavior? Or us it an absolute detail?
My take is things begin in earnest this spring, where everyone is awakened that we have entered the whirlwinds of the storm. The actual event of the Warning may come a couple years into it, when things are then "at their worst". These priests who are ringing the alarm bell seem to be awakened to what is upon us. Even Father Heilman last night asked on his Facebook page about Q and tied it to what he's been calling out and trying to awaken people to, that the battle is at hand and we need to engage. Read the replies to his 2 posts, there's 100s of replies and it surprised me how many people positively reacted to it and said they are all Q followers and are awake to the battle upon us, only a handful called it a conspiracy theory. I think that speaks to how many faithful praying folks are awakened, which means the Holy Spirit is at work, the Great Awakening, illumination, etc. is at hand, but when the main Warning event occurs may be a couple years into the whirlwind upon us and that's when even the secularists/nones/atheists are awakened to God and then have the choice to turn towards Him or continue to turn away
I don't believe it will be this year either. Interestingly, the Bishop of Santander (diocese wherein Garabandal lies) retires in 2 yrs. So perhaps 2022 or 2024 under the new bishop. Definitely getting close though...
2033 or 2050, i dont see this messed-up, cruel, dangerous, cynical world getting anywhere near those dates.
I see that pre-warning clue as the clearest, most unmistakable sign of the 3. There can be no debate, either it happens or it doesn't. It's an "absolute".
Hmmm ... In the "Signs" thread, I've made a couple of observations re: the possibility of the War of Psalm 83 happening around the beginning of April of this year. Given the Palestinian/Iranian reaction to Trump's Middle East "Peace Plan", I'm thinking it's more likely than ever. When Israel wins, they will have defeated Jordan, turning it into a nation about a third of its current size, and Israel will control what had been the lower two-thirds of Jordan to the Saudi Arabian border. It will lay complete and unambiguous claim to all of Jerusalem, including Temple Mount. This will embolden certain groups in Israel to agitate for rebuilding the Temple, hoping to have it started by 2022. It could be that this agitation (and the desire to fight the humiliation of yet another defeat at the hands of the Jews) forms the impetus to launch the War of Gog/Magog. It might be that the moment the armies launch their attack against Israel will be the moment of the Illumination?
No detail, especially small ones, in authentic private revelation are "absolute". This doesn't make the revelation inauthentic Was Jonah's warning of the pending destruction of Nineveh inauthentic because people repented and the destruction did not happen? No of course not. The purpose of authentic private revelation is to affect a change toward God, not to tell us what will happen in the future. The nature of private revelation is not to provide an exact representation of future events. Here is an article in the Catholic encyclopedia that might prove beneficial.... http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/13005a.htm
2022?? There's that number again 222 I posted a thread a few years ago called what's in a number quote below
