I only quoted the prophecy (can't remember whether I quoted the entire prophecy) and supplied the link in response to Muzhik's query about the source of the prophecy about Russia invading Turkey. It seems to me that many websites and blogs use Dupont's book about Catholic prophecy so I linked to the online version of the book. When I first joined this forum, a kind member explained to me that Yves Dupont had researched and compiled Catholic prophecies for a book on the topic. Desmond Birth seems to be another go-to source. To be honest, I don't know much about either of them. I believe it prudent to be mindful that private revelations and prophecies are subject to mitigation depending on whether people respond with prayer and sacrifice so what was prophesied a couple of centuries ago if people didn't mend their ways might not come to pass because people might have mended their ways sufficiently to avert the catastrophes. Then again, some prophecies didn't ask for specific prayers but merely predicted what would happen in the future to a sinful world so they will likely be fulfilled but not necessarily in our lifetime.
Where would I find that sort of information? What the church has condemned? TY (I found a site which has an analysis of Notradamus' prophecies and other Catholic prophecies, so it hadn't occurred to me that they were condemned but I assumed that they weren't approved.)
Apparently Nostradamus was an astrologer, or maybe he was associated in some way with astrology, the way I understood it. That is agaisnt one of the Commandments. You can double check me on this. I think I am correct. So I steer away from him like the plague.
I think that you explained the situation very clearly and would find it very hard to disagree with what you have said. It is refreshing to get a different, more balanced viewpoint than the usual political rhetoric. When I look at the way the world is going, it wouldn't surprise me in the least that a future generation of Christians would seek refuge in Russia. Who's to know that some future generation won't be fleeing even to China or Korea when the faith has been preached to the ends of the earth. Bottom line is that we can't go wrong by putting our trust in God rather than earthly powers. I didn't post the link to the prophecy because I was promoting or disagreeing with it. It just seemed interesting to me that the essence of the prophecy (Russia invading Turkey) has cropped up in Judaeism, Catholicism and Greek Orthodoxy.
Daria, I agree with Dolours that it is good to read your perspective. I some times wonder if Russia will be called upon by say Italy to help them fight terrorism and maybe that is how some of these visions play out. I have no crystal ball so I don't know what will happen but this thought has crossed my mind. It is quite possible that they are sought after for assistance in defeating an attack from some other group and then things take a turn from there.
Dupont, while good, includes Nostradamus. Birch is much more comprehensive overall, but includes nothing of Nostradamus. Birch seems ultra-orthodox, provides much background information about prophesy in general and the prophesies in particular. For a reference book on Catholic prophesy, his is the go-to book, in my opinion.
Unfortunately the Church did away with keeping a list of banned books after Vatican II. You can find old lists on the internet but since they were written before the advent of the modern computer they are not search friendly. In any case they wouldn't help much with any of the modern apparitions, etc. I think you know about the Miracle Hunter site so that is of some help. Other than that it would probably have to be done on a case by case basis. Unfortunately some sites just throw any old "prophecies" up on the web and mix Catholic ones with everything else as if it was all of equal value. I would stick to Catholic sites as opposed to purely "prophecy sites" and generally you won't be wading through a mix of who knows what.
I know I have recommended Birch's book before but I will do it again I think it would be good to have on hand for anyone going through the Chastisement. Who knows if we will have internet access and the book lists so many prophecies and other material it would be good to have as a reference. Trial, Tribulation and Triumph by Desmond Birch.
Since I got my kindle I never bother with books anymore but lately I'm finding that the books I want to read (Windsept House and now Birch's book) don't come in kindle format. Looks like I'll have to take a trip to a bookshop. Here's Walid Shoebat's take on how he sees prophecy playing out: http://shoebat.com/2016/03/13/94742/ I skimmed through it but I get the impression that he is overly influenced by his personal political opinions. I suppose that, like most people, he's right on some things and wrong on others.
Ugh, what was that the girls at Garabandal said about Communism being everywhere? https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/p...ars-up-to-criminalize-pro-life#When:21:54:00Z
Excellent point, Praetorian. We don't yet know how this will play out. I always think that books and a short-wave radio are two items to have on hand just in case.
I am not a Nostradamus follower, but was surprised when I read Catholic prophecy for the first time. Surprised how much time and effort Dupont gave to Nostradamus. Are there any inaccuracies with his introduction?......... NOSTRADAMUS ¶ 75. Michel De Nostredame (Michael of Our Lady) Known as Nostradamus. Nostradamus was born in the South of France in 1503 where he studied the humanities. He obtained his doctorate in philosophy and medicine at the age of twenty-six. Later, he was appointed adviser and personal physician to the Kings of France, a post which he retained through the reigns of Henry II, Francis II, andCharles IX. A member of the Third Order of St. Francis, he enjoyed the friendship of Pope Pius IV. He was a devout Catholic all his life,and he died in 1566.I make no apologies for quoting Nostradamus. I am aware, of course, that he is not regarded very highly by some of the more educated people in this part of the world, although he enjoys considerable popularity among lovers of sensationalism. This unfortunate state of affairs has been brought about by the shameless commercial exploitation of his works. In point of fact, however,Nostradamus was an authentic seer and, in the Old World, many an erudite has not deemed it beneath his dignity to spend long hours poring over his predictions. The list of lay and clerical authors who have written books on Nostradamus over the last 150 years is quite impressive, and I once knew a medical specialist of high renown, a man of great learning, now deceased, who wrote at least three books on the prophecies of Nostradamus. His familiarity with the Greek languages and with the dialect of southern France enabled him to decipher many of the most obscure of Nostradamus' coined words.Yes, I have every reason indeed to regard Nostradamus as a genuine seer. I know that Dr. Rumble of Sydney would not agree with me, and Dr. Rumble is quite an erudite too — on a par with some of the clerical writers I have just mentioned. But, however great his erudition, Dr. Rumble had to specialize in breadth of knowledge rather than in depth. This was required by his very functions as a "Radio-Replies" man. No one could possibly answer such diverse questions as he was....https://www.scribd.com/document/4956324/Catholic-Prophecy
Yeah, but he purposefully sought out spirits in order to get information about the future. Anything willing/able to talk would almost certainly be demonic. If God wants a prophet He'll contact the person whenever He feels like it. Similarly, if things proffer their services in exchange for something they should be ignored (and have holy water thrown at them).
Don't know if this was already mentioned here, but I found this so interesting because of the prophesies concerning mass amounts of Muslims converting to Christianity (according to some that after the Illumination of Conscience/Warning that there will be only One Christian Catholic Faith, Jews, and non-believers. NoIslam). It has been discussed on other threads that there are many reporting a of dreams all over the world right now. Perhaps the Lord is coming in dreams to Muslims before that time in preparation? http://www.faithwire.com/2016/11/29...ing-to-them-in-dreams-christ-said-come-to-me/
I have a feeling that after the Great Sign which has been predicted (which will probably be something Marian) many Muslims will convert to Catholicism. In Islam there is a great love of Our Lady whom they call Maryam. In fact She is the only woman referred to by name in the Quran. Remember Our Lady chose to appear at Fatima which was the name of Muhammad's daughter. Accident? I think not...
https://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu.be&v=2X-eL9iA-U0 Kim Clement predicts the coming of Trump and the Virgin Mary: Revelation 12
this is very unusual. Never heard of this guy and just did some digging. he just passed away last week. He said back before Trump declared his run for president that God was going to use Trump as a trumpet for America and that Trump would uncover the corruption. He also said he wasn't shown Trump would be president, but that God would use Trump during the election to be this trumpet. In this video you posted, I got lost about the "energy" he talked about. Made it seem like something happens and then Mary comes to save us. Did you understand what he meant there about the energy and "they never thought it would happen in Japan"?
