    The Warning will be very much an act of kindness. People are so lost now. They do not know their left hand from their right. This will open their poor eyes.

    I suppose it is possible that there might be a man made darkness too. One of the effects of the use of Nukes is a Nuclear Winter, which will come about because of so much smoke with the fires.

    I can see why it was said,

    '...the living will envy the dead'.

    An act of great mercy and kindness for sure Padraig but also very horrifying for so so many even people like myself. Didn't Conchita even warn that the Warning is not something to be wished for. It will be very awful to experience. Try to imagine feeling what God feels when you sin and how this sin ripples and its impact on others. We will feel what pain our sins caused God and what they did for others. Pray greatly for not only yourselves but for all that we have the grace to endure such horrors that the Warning will bring to so many.

    I was just thinking about what I went thru 30 years ago; like a warning......All I kept saying to myself was "but no one told me"......Having fallen so many more times since then, I'm looking back now and thinking well, who have I tried to warn since then.......I'm prone to ranting & it's something I've been working on a lot because as previously stated by others, no one hears a "rant".

    It also occurs to me that it could possibly be the warning that prompts Pope Francis to rethink some of his current "teachings". That would indeed be a blessing for the whole Church...

    in my understanding, the warning can't happen before a couple of years, because many bad things shall happen before (war, schism in the church, europe invasion, communism, etc.), things should be at their worst and obviously we are not at this level yet.

    Yes 2024 looking less likely for the warning in my opinion unless the wheels fall off the wagon pretty soon.

    I suppose to se ourselves as we really are will be a little like a very strong Spiritual Antiseptic.

    Most of us will have experienced a little of this in our Spiritual Pilgrimage when areas of Great Darkness in our lives are exposed. This is especially true of those of us who have experienced Radical Conversions. I can see where it might kill people.

    St Paul of Tarsus is such a great example of this. Legend has it that he had to go to the Deserts of Arabia for three years to digest things and for the Holy Spirit to instruct him.

    But painful as it is it is better to know than to to know to have these things brought to Light. It is a Great Act of Mercy and Kindness.

    The Late Great Scott M. Peck mentioned one time that people in Therapy sometimes scream out loud when these things are uncovered.

    Saint John Vianney, the Cure of Ars who certainly preserved his Baptismal Innocence and was one of the Holiest men who lived tells a story. He said that one day in Church he was examining his Conscience but was concerned he was missing stuff. He then asked the Holy Spirit to show him the State of his Soul in the Light of God. The Holy Spirit obliged but the old Saint cried out in horror at the very start of it all and begged Him to stop. He said he endured the sight for just a few seconds but if he had seen anymore he would have died on the very spot. He begged God to stop.

    Very sobering.

    There is how we see ourselves.

    There is how others see us.

    Then there is how God sees us.

    The three are never one and the same.

    As the Scots poet Rabbie Burns put it:

    “O, wad some Power the giftie gie us
    To see oursels as others see us!
    It wad frae monie a blunder free us,
    An' foolish notion.”


    I have to say I have always been more than a little jealous of married people and those with teenage children. They are never short of someone to rub their poor noses right in it.:)

    Come Lord Jesus, Free us from the Chains of all our sins.

    And I think Conchita or one of the Garabandal seers said that not everyone will survive the warning presumably because they would drop dead from a heart attack. I find nowadays a great spiritual acedia or slothfulness at rooting out past sins! It doesn't help either if the priest seems too quick to offer general absolution for all the sins of your past life ...

    I’m not quite sure what close means anymore zouxi, as my head spins everyday. On some level all of those things that you have mentioned are occurring but I do believe that the war and the European invasion will get worse before the Warning.

    Sometimes I think when people die very suddenly, as for instance in a shooting or accident it is a great act of Mercy. They may still go to Hell, but it will not be as deep a Hell. Perhaps in those few seconds before death comes they may even convert.

    But if a person has been living a life totally without God and without respect to the ten commandments this clearly becomes much, much more difficult and problematical. They really have to do a 180 degree in a very,very short space of time.

    God's Grace is Infinite and all powerful off course.

    But still it is a big, big ask. There is God's Grace on the one hand. But there is our response to His Grace on the other.

    Even God cannot force love. Love that is forced is no longer love.

    But there is our response to His Grace on the other.

    That is the crux of the matter.

    I think that might be why St. Faustina was given the Divine Mercy devotions. Very powerful prayers.

    Agree Carol. We mark time very differently than God does. (St Peter's "a thousand years is like a day...") No question things are speeding quickly along. Since the turn of the century i would say with breathtaking speed. Since pachamama with blinding velocity but as you say "close" is hard to quantify. For me I just watch and pray and try not to get tossed about too brutally on these billowing waves....believing with my teeth gritted and my hands clenched on the bow that Jesus is asleep beside me.

    It’s the loose and bind clause :)
    They have been granted the Divine Power to absolve sins. I’m grateful for it.

    For me also though, there will come great peace in our hearts to feel what our sins have caused despite the great sadness, horror and shock. This great peace will show and truly exemplify our great love for God and great sorrow for what we did to Him and others. This sadness, sorrow and ultimate love is what true salvation will mean. I will never forget a dream I had where I got to see some past sins, the dread I felt, the suffering I felt, then ultimately the total love I received from Jesus. It was truly a powerful experience. I will find the dream I posted on here many years ago about this for all to read again because I believe it can truly give others peace, comfort and hope!

    Found it from back in March 2015:

    I had a fascinating dream last night and still trying to figure out some of it. Let me step back to 2 nights ago. I was walking the dog and for some reason just decided to call out to God and ask if we are truly close to times and happenings more biblical in nature than what most of the world is used to. I then asked if the Warning was close. I did not hear anything in that instant other than the normal internal thoughts of things like, "does the answer to this really matter? Live each day as if Jesus is returning then. Put your full Trust in the God and don't worry about things like this...etc" So last night I had this dream:

    I was in what looked like a school. I am beginning to forget many of the details of the dream now but there were some major things that aren't going away. For some reason in this school I knew that I was about to be tested, tempted, reminded of my past and purged. I was praying and preparing for what was to come. When I was ready, I walked through this door of the school and into a room. In this room was different scenes and sins of my past. I don't want to get into the details because that is private but each time and room I went into of my past I would see scenes and would feel temptations to return to that way of life. I did not see myself in the scenes but was a part of it again. For example, in one scene I was at a concert festival. In the past I loved these things but now a days, I do not like the sin that came with those experiences. In the dream, what used to be what I loved to do, now I detested and I would cry and feel great shame and sorrow for how I used to be. There would be others around in these different scenes trying to get me back to the comfort I used to feel in these sins and vices. Each room was another and would hit me even worse. I don't recall how many rooms I went into now and really only remember 2 of them now, one being the concert scene. As I was about to go into what was the final room, I had a guide with me tell me that this room would be tough and would bring me fear. When I could not take it any longer, all I needed to do was call out to God the Father 3 times in His biblical, Hebrew name and it would end for me. I went into the room and all I remember of it was that there were demons there and they were indeed frightening. I wasn't scared at the scene but more filled with sorrow of the past rooms I was in. I was balling at this point and began to try to call out to God but at first, His name would not come out of my mouth. Then it began soft and by the third time it was loud. After the third time (4th attempt) the room was empty and standing before me was the most beautiful white tale deer with a perfect rack of antlers on its head. It looked at me and I was still filled with sorrow and sadness for my offenses in life and the tears were still streaming down my face. Next the deer was gone and now I was being held so lovingly in the arms of Jesus. I mustered up the courage to look up at his face as He held me like I was just a child. I remember His face and it looked nothing like any picture of Him I had ever scene but it was Him and I felt great comfort and joy in His arms. This did not last long and I was now out of the rooms that I was in and back in the main part of the school where this all began. Now I felt wonderful and cleansed in a way and was talking and trying to help others. That is all I remember at this point. It was a wonderful dream and experience despite the sorrow and some fear that was a part of it.

    1 night after this dream, I updated what had occurred with the following experience:

    I have an update from my dream with the deer that I have not had a chance to share. The night after I was walking the dog again. During my walk I was saying the stations of the cross. When I was almost finished with my walk, 2 deer were standing in a yard that I was coming up on. One ran off and the other stayed there and just looked at me. I stopped at the point where I was across the street. I was looking at it, it was looking at me and my dog was going nuts. I was still in the middle of the stations of the cross and was saying the Our Father out loud. At the moment I said "amen" after the prayer, the deer gazed into my eyes one more time and then turn and walked off into the woods. It was very cool!

    actually the three days of darkness marks the end of the current era and the start of the new era, the era of peace. Like Jesus stayed three days in the dark tomb then resurrected after three days, humanity shall stay three days in darkness and resurrect afterwards. Like Jesus defeated sin and death in his resurrection, he will defeat Satan and the antichrist and their followers in the three days of darkness.
    Humanity shall live in a way or another the pains, passion, death and resurrection of its savior.

    Also, I find in many prophecies and aparitions the mention that the new area will be the new heaven and the new earth, where time (time and space) on the earth will be different than the time we live now.
    I am not able to conceptualize how the new time will be.
