CREWDOG, your post brings this verse to mind.... Apocolypse Chapter 6 8 And I saw, and behold, a pale horse, and its rider’s name was Death, and Hades followed him; and they were given power over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword and with famine and with pestilence and by wild beasts of the earth. 9 When he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the word of God and for the witness they had borne; 10 they cried out with a loud voice, “O Sovereign Lord, holy and true, how long before thou wilt judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell upon the earth?” If anyone can join tonight...
Towards the end of Luz de Maria's message on the Warning she asks, "In this moment, do parents speak to their children of what is happening? But these children who are going to suffer the Warning, are already formed and have taken a conscience and a decision that is very erroneous and mistaken. That is why we have the duty to act, now! Rather we are acting late". This is a very important question. From what I have gathered in asking others this question almost all have not discussed this with their children. I asked my 12 year old son, whom I have given much information on the Warning to, if this information scares him. He said, yeah kind of. Then I asked him, do you think you would be more scared if you knew nothing about what is coming and then it does come and you did not prepare for it? He said, yeah I would be more scared then. So I told him, many holy people of God have seen and have been given messages from heaven that speak of this coming very soon and that they do this so that we may prepare our souls for this event and thus be able to respond to it in a more calm way having prepared for it. Can you imagine the fear of not knowing what just took place? Everyone walking along in a stupor? This is why God has given us through his messengers the knowledge of this greatest of graces to come. First for our own humility and second to be able to comfort those around us who had no clue beforehand. This is why I have spoken to my family about this. I do not want them to ask me afterwards, why did you not say anything to me when you knew!
To be honest, I believe Jesus already warned us to be ready fir we know not the time. Two parables in particular come to mind: 32 “Learn this parable from the fig tree: Whenever its branch becomes tender and puts out its leaves, you know that summer is near. 33 So also you, when you see all these things, know that he is near, right at the door. 34 I tell you the truth, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place. 35 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away. 36 “But as for that day and hour no one knows it”not even the angels in heaven”except the Father alone. 37 For just like the days of Noah were, so the coming of the Son of Man will be. 38 For in those days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day Noah entered the ark. 39 And they knew nothing until the flood came and took them all away. It will be the same at the coming of the Son of Man. 40 Then there will be two men in the field; one will be taken and one left. 41 There will be two women grinding grain with a mill; one will be taken and one left. 42 “Therefore stay alert, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come. 43 But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what time of night the thief was coming, he would have been alert and would not have let his house be broken into. 44 Therefore you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him. 45 “Who then is the faithful and wise slave, whom the master has put in charge of his household, to give the other slaves their food at the proper time? 46 Blessed is that slave whom the master finds at work when he comes. 47 I tell you the truth, the master will put him in charge of all his possessions. 48 But if that evil slave should say to himself, ‘My master is staying away a long time,’ 49 and he begins to beat his fellow slaves and to eat and drink with drunkards, 50 then the master of that slave will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he does not foresee, 51 and will cut him in two, and assign him a place with the hypocrites, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth (Matthew 24:32-51). 1 “At that time the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. 2 Five of the virgins were foolish, and five were wise. 3 When the foolish ones took their lamps, they did not take extra266 olive oil with them. 4 But the wise ones took flasks of olive oil with their lamps. 5 When the bridegroom was delayed a long time,267 they all became drowsy and fell asleep. 6 But at midnight there was a shout, ‘Look, the bridegroom is here! Come out to meet him.’ 7 Then all the virgins woke up and trimmed their lamps. 8 The foolish ones said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil, because our lamps are going out.’ 9 ‘No,’ they replied. ‘There won’t be enough for you and for us. Go instead to those who sell oil and buy some for yourselves.’ 10 But while they had gone to buy it, the bridegroom arrived, and those who were ready went inside with him to the wedding banquet. Then the door was shut. 11 Later, the other virgins came too, saying, ‘Lord, lord! Let us in!’ 12 But he replied, ‘I tell you the truth, I do not know you!’ 13 Therefore stay alert, because you do not know the day or the hour” Matthew 25:1-13 While we might not know the exact time I think we know we are in the season when the fig tree us ripe - it is now! Unlike the unwise virgins, we need to be ready and have the oil already purchased. And what is the oil? I don't think it physical preparation, but the spiritual prep - sacraments, prayer, fasting, sacramentals, and reading the Word. If we are doing this, then we will not be surprise whether there is or isn't a warning. And I'm not trying to preach or be "holier than thou"- in this day it is very easy for me to fall asleep or burn up my "oil ". It's through people like all of you here and our conversations that are helping me to continue to prepare and to be ready. Thank you all for that. Peace
I suppose we do not need to know all the details as Mike said. Just we need to convert. But I always have a kind of fascination with all these things, it is a kind of hobby for me. But so long as we have God in our heart I know nothing else much matters. If God is with us; who can be against us? Matthew 6:33 Do Not Worry …32"For the Gentiles eagerly seek all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. 33"But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. 34"So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
remember, i think Fr. Malachi Martin in one of his interviews in which he confirmed that Garabandal was authentic and was a partial disclosure of the 3rd secret of Fatima specifics, referred to The Warning itself as one of the chastisements. <Not a soft and beautiful thing, but more as Conchita described: "You would rather die than go through it".
According to Luz de Maria, she was shown that the cosmic phenomenon that accompanies the Warning, and is first seen in the sky, then felt interiorly, is an Asteroid. This was the original, complete text from Luz de Maria on the Warning: Jon said: ↑ I agree. In addition, the messages from Jesus and the Virgin Mary are mentioning the nearness of the Warning every time now. I took a look at some earlier posts on the original site and found a transcript of a conference given by Luz de Maria where the Warning is described as shown to her. Seems to support what the Garabandal visionaries said, even the corresponding visual, cosmic, event "like two stars colliding" that begins with "A": TRANSCRIPTION OF LIGHT OF MARY’S CONFERENCE (PART 2) Brothers and sisters: CHRIST SPEAKS TO US OF THE WARNING: The Warning has been announced at Garabandal, an event that keeps believers and nonbelievers alert. The Warning was given to me to suffer in advance, this does not exonerate me from the instant in which I must live it like all human beings. Christ made me understand that the Warning is a product of an impious man who has given himself into the clutches of evil, and it is because of that, that humanity’s wickedness will generate the fulfillment of this event out of Divine Mercy. This event has a spiritual origin. From days before the Warning man will perceive within himself the proximity of this Act of Divine Mercy. Cosmic intervention cannot be separated, for well in advance, scientists will spy an asteroid that approaches Earth, they will alert humanity and expectancy will be chaotic. The imminence of the asteroid’s route towards the Earth will alert all of humanity. Man will see the asteroid and terror will seize human beings, but that the ever-present Divine Hand will act to blow up the asteroid and it will not reach the Earth, although its destruction will be seen by humanity, some fragments will fall upon the Earth without causing greater damages. The light the explosion of the asteroid will release will be so great that the human eye will be left as if blinded, a fact that will disturb an already terrified man. Some might even lose their life by suffering a heart attack before the terror that will invade them because of the unknown. Thus we see that this day all men will know that their conscience will be scrutinized, as the origin of Divine Mercy. After this, humanity will enter into a chaos fatal as never before… The Warning is not far from humanity, that is why they call us constantly to be true. A very big weapon the devil is using is untruth. We have our expectations and hopes in the Warning for humanity to be better and we are never more wrong as when we think like this. The Warning is something personal, it is something of the conscience, yes it is something of the conscience. But what will happen with those who have no conscience? They are going to forget and deny the Warning because they have no conscience, they are going to say it was manipulated by the Church or other interests. The Warning is something totally personal, we know that it will take place like a movie for us, but it is not Christ who will show us the movie, it is us who are going to show all of our works and actions of life to ourselves: the good we have done and the evil we have committed, as well as the good we have ceased to do; we ourselves will judge what we have done and how we have acted. We will know if we have done it well or not. I think about the people who have a conscience, but about those who do not have a conscience for good. Will they be able to see the evil they have done? And will they be aware? Will they accept that evil? They will be able to see the evil they have done and the good they have ceased to do. And there each one will then go about, I would not say judging, but rather that there each one will finish defining himself or herself, to make the decision: evil or good. What side am I on? In all the corners of the Earth, man’s mind will shake, not out of fear, but out of trepidation towards what he sees and is unknown to him, all that is in motion will fall but the Hand of Christ will not allow lives to be lost, for the effect of the asteroid will interrupt all the systems of communication. People experiencing great fear will want to reach their homes and man will panic; some will lash out against others fighting for the survival of the body and not of the soul. Immediately that light will cease to be that of the asteroid to be Divine Light, in the conscience of each and every human being, then everyone will be taken in a particular way. The conscience, which is like man’s memory card, for it registers even the most minimal act or work done by him, will make man seek refuge in the face of the fear he will suffer. The fear will be generated by the evil that has seized human beings, otherwise, the Warning would have been mitigated since, as it will be a torment so great for those conscious of Christ’s absence, for those who are not conscious of the Divine Presence within them, will enter directly into panic and from there they will pass the scrutiny of themselves. They will be instants, seconds that will seem unending, and the pain in everyone will be the same as that suffered by the souls in the greatest punishment of hell: the remoteness of Christ, the pain of not having Him. It will seem like hours, but it will be instants and after that instant has passed, immediately the person will have his liberty. It will be an instant, some seconds in which our entire life will pass, all our works and acts before us, except that in those instants we will not have free will, rather we will be before all that we have done. Immediately after the Warning has passed, free will will enter again and many will say: this is a work and manipulation of Science so that we go through all of this and so we do not believe that this event came from God, and continue on the side of evil. That is why the Warning is a test for the conscience, that is why we must exercise our conscience now. Because it is a test for the conscience of each one of us, it is not something that will modify the course of coming events. What will happen, what needs to happen, will happen. It will be a test, to modify our works and our actions, so that our conscience is greater and is able to understand what it has not understood before, those who freely want it so. Then the persecution of the Church of Christ will take place, the arrival of the antichrist will likewise come about, wars will begin, famines will come and plagues will come, because the Warning is not there to modify the course of events; it is there, I would say, to modify man’s conscience. It is a test for my conscience. What the Warning will do is make us more aware, so that we see with another perspective. It will help us become more aware of all that is happening. The more awareness we have now, the greater opportunity. The evil creature of satan will take his active part within humanity getting all those who are lukewarm to rebel and those who do not believe in Christ to act more on satan’s side, allowing him to take the reigns on all their works and acts, and the wickedness of the devil will spill in its entirety within men. Bloody instants, grinding of teeth where man will not know good, only and only the Holy Remnant will remain as small lights that illuminate the Earth. In this moment, do parents speak to their children of what is happening? But these children who are going to suffer the Warning, are already formed and have taken a conscience and a decision that is very erroneous and mistaken. That is why we have the duty to act, now! Rather we are acting late. I know that the conscience is a Gift from God, but just as life is a Gift from God and man has despised life, so the conscience is a Gift from God and man despises the conscience. We ask Christ to give us His Word: “Jesus took the Twelve aside and told them, ‘We are going up to Jerusalem, and everything that is written by the prophets about the Son of Man will be fulfilled. He will be delivered over to the Gentiles. They will mock him, insult him and spit upon him; they will flog him and kill him. On the third day he will rise again.’ The disciples did not understand any of this. Its meaning was hidden from them, and they did not know what he was talking about.” The Word of the Lord. (Lk. 18: 31-34) Just as all that Christ tells us now and we do not want to understand, so many of the things Christ told his disciples, they did not understand until after. Then we, when we understand, will say: yes, it was true! And we will lament with tears of blood for not having acted. http://www.revelacionesmarianas.com/english.htm
I have often wondered about this prophetic verse from Holy Scriptures concerning the Immaculate Heart of Mary - the illumination will be like this laying bare the sins on our conscience. "And a sword will pierce your own soul too -- so that the secret thoughts of many may be laid bare." (Luke 2:35)
Ive done a little internet searching this evening and found this from the deceptive Bayside apparitions. It sounds so right , yet the devil will Ape or mix truth with error. The Warning will be a worldwide incident of catastrophic proportions which will shake the entire planet. It will be a personal and profound enlightenment from the Eternal Father to every soul upon earth and will be universally acknowledged as having come from the All-Powerful, God the Father.
The Pope explains in the bull it is his "burning desire" that, during the Jubilee, "the Christian people may reflect on the corporal and spiritual works of mercy. It will be a way to reawaken our conscience, too often grown dull in the face of poverty."

5. The Jubilee year will close with the liturgical Solemnity of Christ the King on 20 November 2016. On that day, as we seal the Holy Door, we shall be filled, above all, with a sense of gratitude and thanksgiving to the Most Holy Trinity for having granted us an extraordinary time of grace. We will entrust the life of the Church, all humanity, and the entire cosmos to the Lordship of Christ, asking him to pour out his mercy upon us like the morning dew, so that everyone may work together to build a brighter future.

Yes, Mac, and here lies the problem. Virtually every false set of messages include perfectly plausible messages about the Warning - remember MDM...? This is why discernment is so important. In my view, feeling that a message 'sounds reasonable' or that it agrees with what we maybe have specualated, is no discernment at all. Discerment of contemporary prophecy must involve a testing of the fruits.
I am surprised that Father Gobbi's statements on the Warning have not been posted. He of all people has reiterated the illumination of conscience many times over.
Our Lady of Fatima said, In the end My Immaculate Heart will Triumpth! Accounts ive read about the miracle of the sun, many souls fell to there knees in mud confessing sins out loud... Also the same miracle was likened to nuclear energy. For the ground was so saturated from days of rain, but dried instantly. Maybe come the Solemnity of Christ the King a nuke war is close??? many will once again fall on bended knee ... The Miracle of the sun is also a" type" of Pentecost. As our Lady and the Apostles were in the upper room ,tounges of fire fell upon them but none were consumed.The sun is a ball of fire, yet none were consumed in Fatima.... LUKE 2 v 3 And there appeared to them tongues as of fire, distributed and resting on each one of them. 4 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit 2nd Pentacost is coming ..I believe
Asteroid, This has been considered, but it may also be "Aurora Borealis", which might be more in line with a "stars colliding " or a "light show" in the sky. Anything is possible.
Even MDM used trickery and "mirror messages" , to try and convince us of her validity, and we know how that turned out.
