The most spectacular aspect
of the Act of God will be the three days of darkness over the whole earth. The Three Days have been announced by many
mystics, viz., Anna-Maria Taigi, Padre Pio [Padre Pio said that he did not announce the Three Days of Darkness, but I put it here in order to be faithful to Dupont's text. We do not really need Saint Pio's testimony, anyway. There are so many other prophecies about it. Jeanne], Elizabeth Canori-More, Rosa-Colomba
Asdente, Palma d’Oria, in Italy; Father
Nectou, in Belgium; St. Hildegard, in Germany;
Pere Lamy, Marie Baourdi, Marie Martel, Marie-Julie Jahenny, in
France. (This list is not
exhaustive; many more mystics have
announced the Three Days.)
The Church does not oblige us
to believe in any particular prophecy as a matter of faith, but we are indeed
obliged to believe that prophecies may be made even in our own times, for this
is in the Gospel: the Holy Ghost will
speak to many in the Latter Days. [Luke in Acts 2:17, "In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people; your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams." also see: Joel 28-31 Jeanne]
Moreover, when an identical
prophecy has been made by widely separated people in time and space, when this
particular prophecy was accompanied by other predictions which have already
come to pass, and when the holiness of the mystics in question has been
recognised by the Church, we would be foolish indeed not to believe that the
prophecy must come to pass. Such is the
case concerning the Three Days of Darkness.
How else could we explain that an illiterate peasant woman of Brittany
is describing the very thing that another mystic in, say Germany or Italy is
also describing?
THE PROXIMATE SIGNS
Here are the proximate signs
in their probable order of occurrence.
This, to be sure, is only my own opinion, and I may be wrong for I am no
prophet myself; but, after studying a large number of prophecies, this order
appears to me to be the most likely.
1. Flouting of church laws, irreverence and
immodesty in church, fall in attendance at church.
2. Lack of charity towards other, heartlessness,
indifference, divisions, contentions, godlessness, pride in human knowledge.
3. Breakdown of family life: immorality, adultery, perversion of youth
(e.g. homosexuals giving lectures in schools), immodest fashions (e.g.
mini-skirts and hot pants, bikinis and see-throughs), people concerned only
with eating, drinking, dancing and other pleasures.
4. Civil commotions, contempt for authority, downfall
of governments, confusion in high places, corruption, coups d’etat, civil war,
revolution.
(The first four proximate
signs have already come to pass, at least partly; for we are yet to see civil war and
revolution in the West. But the sequence
of events is not strictly chronological;
there is room for some overlapping.
Thus, the 5th proximate sign seems to have begun also.)
5. Floods and droughts, crop failures, unusual
weather, tornadoes, earthquakes, tidal waves, famines, epidemics, unknown
diseases (e.g. new strains of viruses.)
THE WARNING AND THE MIRACLE
These will take place between
proximate and the immediate signs. Both
will be supernatural occurrences, and the Miracle will closely follow the
Warning. There will be a solar prodigy;
a Cross will be visible in the sky all over the world. The Warning will be associated with the
letter “A”; it will not fall on a Feast
day of Our Lady, nor on the 18th of the month.
The Miracle will fall on the
Feast day of a young martyr of the Eucharist; this will be on a Thursday
evening, and it will coincide with an important Church event.
Since the Miracle is to be
seen only in Northern Spain and in Rome, and since the Cross in the sky is to
be seen everywhere, it seems that the latter occurrence will take place with
the Warning, not with the Miracle.
However, the Miracle may also have a Cross in the sky.
During the Warning, everyone
will be made aware of his/her own sinfulness, and many will wish to die, but
the Warning itself will be completely harmless.
Both the Warning and the Miracle must be viewed as the last act
of mercy from God, a final appeal to mankind to do penance before the
three days of darkness and the destruction of three-quarters of the human
race. At a time when the murder of
unborn babies and the sin of Sodom and Lesbos have become respectable and,
sometimes, legal, we should not wonder why God is going to punish mankind.
By that time, war and
revolution will have already caused a high death toll, and communism will be victorious,
but all this will be as nothing compared with the death toll caused by the Three
Days.
THE IMMEDIATE SIGN
It will be a bitterly cold
winter night in the Northern hemisphere.
(Presumably, a very cold summer night in Australia or, by contrast, a
torrid night.) The wind will howl and
roar. Lightning and thunderbolts of an
unprecedented magnitude will strike the earth.
The whole earth will shake, heavenly bodies will be disturbed – (this
will be the beginning of the Three Days).
Every Demon, every evil spirit will be released from hell and allowed to
roam the earth. Terrifying apparitions
will take place. Many will die from
sheer fright. Fire will rain forth from
the sky, all large cities will be destroyed, poisonous gases will fill the air,
cries and lamentations everywhere. The
unbelievers will burn in the open like withered grass. The entire earth will be afflicted; it will look like a huge graveyard.
As soon as you notice that
bitterly cold night, go indoors, lock all the doors and windows, pull down the
blinds, stick adhesive paper on vents and around windows and doors. Do not answer calls from outside, do not look
at (out?) the windows, or you will die on the spot: keep your eyes down to make sure you do not
see the windows; the Wrath of God is mighty and no one should attempt to behold
it. Light blessed wax candles; nothing else will burn, but the candles will not be extinguished once
lit. Nothing will put them out in the
houses of the faithful, but they will not burn in the houses of the
godless. Sprinkle holy water about and
windows: the devils fear holy water.
Bless yourself with it and anoint your five senses with it: eyes, ears,
nose, mouth, hands, feet, and forehead.
Keep on hand a sufficient supply of drinking water and, if possible,
food also (but you can live without food for three days.) Kneel down and pray incessantly with
outstretched arms, or prostrate on the floor.
Make acts of contrition, faith, hope and charity. Above all, say the Rosary and meditate on the
sorrowful mysteries.
Some people, especially
children, will be taken up to Heaven beforehand to spare them the horror of
these days. People caught outdoors will
die instantly. Three-quarters of the
human race will be exterminated, - more men than women. No one will escape the terror of these
days.
But, when all seems lost and
hopeless, then, in the twinkling of an eye, the ordeal will be over: the sun will rise and shine again as in
springtime over a purified earth.
Some nations will disappear entirely,
and the face of the earth will be changed.
There will be no more “Big Business” and huge factories which sap men’s
souls. Craftmanship will revive, and
assembly lines will give way to the working bench.
People will return to the
land, but food will be scarce for about three years. Married women will bear many children, for it
will be regarded as a disgrace not to have children, - no more “career women”
addicted to the “pill.” Unmarried
females, - there will be many, will enter the religious orders and form large
congregations of Nuns within the reborn Church.
Disease will decrease dramatically, and mental illnesses will be rare,
for man will have retrieved his natural environment. It will be an age of faith, true brotherhood
between neighbours, civil harmony, peace, and prosperity. The land will yield crops as never
before. Police will have little work to
do: crime will disappear almost
entirely. Mutual trust and honesty will
be universal. There will be little work
for lawyers, either. All the manpower
which is currently taken up by the wickedness of the modern world will be
released and available for the production of useful commodities. Thus, prosperity will be very great. This wonderful period will probably last 30
years approximately.
As soon as you see the sun
rise again at the end of the Three Days, drop to your knees and give thanks to
God.
Be warned, SPREAD THE
MESSAGE, but do not fear: it would be an
offence to God to show lack of confidence in His protection. Those who spread the message will be
protected, but the scoffers, the skeptics, and those who dismiss the message
because they are frightened, will not escape the chastisement.
SPREAD THE MESSAGE; do not be put out by those who laugh it off
or think you are a bit queer. This is
the price we have to pay, for no disciple of Christ can escape scorn or even
persecution. Remain in the state of
grace. Go to Mass, and regularly receive
Holy Communion. Say your Rosary every
day. Obtain some wax candles and have
these blessed by a Traditionalist priest.
Do not buy ordinary white candles, they are not made of wax. Do not trust either a “new-breed” priest to
bless your candles. Pray for the Church
and for the Pope in particular; it is
not for us to judge the Pope, no matter what he does or says, - this is God’s
prerogative, but we must pray for him.
Say the prayer to St. Michael which Leo XIII composed after witnessing a
terrifying vision of Satan’s power. Wear
the Brown Scapular and the miraculous medal.
Deny yourself some legitimate pleasures and entertainment; many seers insist on this. Eat sparingly, frugally, to sustain life more
than to gratify the palate. When the
proximate signs are over, i.e. war and revolution culminating in the victory of
Communism, when you behold the Warning, then store up food, drinking water,
blankets and other necessities.
APPENDIX II
A Puzzling Question
When I speak of the “Act of
God” I always mean the Three Days of Darkness which will cause Communism to
collapse and which will purify the earth.
But, in fact, there will be three separate Acts of God, namely, the
Warning, the Miracle and the Three Days. [The Warning and the Miracle are part of the Medjugorje Secrets and were also announced at Garabandal. Jeanne]
How does the battle of the
Birch-Tree plain which the Great Monarch will wage against Russian troops fit
into all this?
I must confess that I am not
cerain at all whether the Birch-Tree battle will take place after the Warning
or after the Three Days.
On the onehand, it does not
seem that a battle could be waged after the Three Days, nor would it be
necessary, since all the wicked will have perished.
On
the other hand, if the battle takes place after the Warning, it would seem to
indicate that the Great Monarch’s victory will not be decisive enough to
eradicate Communism everywhere and that the Three Days will be necessary to
achieve this.
Perhaps,
then, the Great Monarch’s victory will have the only effect of saving France
from a Russian invasion, but Communism itself will collapse only as a result of
the Three Days with will come a little later.
However,
a further objection arises: some
prophets tell us that the Great Monarch will “uproot all Republics” and that he
will wage war in the Middle East against the Mohammedans. How could he achieve this between the Warning
and the Three Days? Or will this take
place after the Three Days? But we have
just seen that no wicked will be alive after the Three Days! Moreover, the earth will be utterly
devastated, - no roads, no ships, no petrol, no fuel of any sort will be
available. No war can be waged in such
circumstances.
(Incidentally,
the shortage of petrol is likely to be felt long before the Three Days: when the Mohammedans invade Europe, they will
first cut off all oil supplies. This is
not in the prophecies, but it is reasonable to assume that they will do so. It also tallies with the predictions which say
that the Great Monarch will mount a “white horse”; in the circumstances prevailing today, we
would expect him to ride in a tank. But
if there is no petrol available, the old-fashioned horse is the only possible
alternative.)
Perhaps
it is only after the Three Days that he will “uproot all Republics,” for the
good people who have survived the Three Days may still need human guidance in
order not to fall back into the deadly errors of Republicanism and Democracy.
This
appears to me to be the most plausible interpretation of the prophecies
concerning this particular episode but, as I have said, it cannot be regarded
as certain.
