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.
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.
WHAT TO DO NOW
WHAT TO DO NOW
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.
 |
| Remain in the state of grace! Pray for Souls |
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.

THE SUMMARY FROM DUPONT'S BOOK,
CATHOLIC PROPHECY : THE COMING CHASTISEMENT
by Ives Dupont
(Quoted from)
St. Columba (6th century). "Hearken, hearken to what will happen in the latter days of the world! There will be great wars; unjust laws will be enacted; the Church will be despoiled of her property; people will read and write a great deal; but charity and humility will be laughed to scorn, and the common people will believe in false ideas."
St. Methodius. "A day will come when the enemies of Christ will boast of having conquered the whole world. They will say: 'Christians cannot escape now!' But a Great King will arise to fight the enemies of God. He will defeat them, and peace will be given to the world, and the Church will be freed from her anxieties."
Frontpiece Summary
General Events:
• Not a two-camp war, but a multi-sided war.
• Not a war only, but a world-wide revolution as well.
• Not simply a man-made holocaust, but also a God-sent chastisement, accompanied by cosmic disturbances.
• To last about four years.
General Events:
• Not a two-camp war, but a multi-sided war.
• Not a war only, but a world-wide revolution as well.
• Not simply a man-made holocaust, but also a God-sent chastisement, accompanied by cosmic disturbances.
• To last about four years.
Particular Events:
The whole world will be involved in the fighting. A unique feature is the internal disintegration of the Western democracies and the invasion of Western Europe by Arab forces.
The roles of the U.S.A. and U.S.S.R. are not clear in the beginning. The U.S.A. may be involved in the Far-East or at home or both. The U.S.S.R. may want to keep out of the fray at first, while abetting the Arab world, or may be involved in Siberia.
Civil wars rage in Western Europe. The Church is persecuted; the Pope leaves Rome and dies in exile; an anti-pope is installed in Rome; the Catholic Church is split, leaderless and completely disorganized. Communism is victorious. The Mo-
hammedans invade Europe and commit innumerable atrocities.
In the West, however, Christians rally around an unexpected leader, an army officer of royal blood, but their chances seem very slim.
The natural disturbances begin: floods, droughts, famines.
A comet approaches the earth: Whole mountains split open; huge tidal waves swallow up low-lying lands; stones fall from the sky; a deadly fog or gas poisons the atmosphere; a prolonged darkness envelops the earth. Two-thirds or three-fourths of the human race is wiped out.
The powers of evil are shattered. The Christian Prince leads his growing army to battle and wins victory upon victory. In West Germany he crushes a Germano-Russian Army. Communism collapses everywhere. The Mohammedans are thrown back to the sea. The war is carried to Africa and the Middle East, where the Arab Power is dealt a deadly blow. At this stage, if not earlier, U.S. troops come to the assistance of Western Europe.
Russia and China are converted to Catholicism, as also the Mohammedans. All non-Catholics return to Mother Church. A holy Pope is elected; he shows great firmness; and he restores all the former disciplines in the Church.
All the nations of Western Europe unite and form a new Roman Empire, and accept as their emperor the great Christian Prince, chosen by God, who works hand-in-hand with the holy Pope. The triumph of the Catholic Church is universal.
The whole world enjoys a period of complete peace and unprecedented prosperity in mutual love and respect among people and nations.
This great peace will last until the coming of the Anti-Christ.
"And they did not understand
Until the flood came and
Swept them all away." (Matt. 24:39)

"This great peace will last
until the coming of Antichrist."

| "...unprecedented prosperity in mutual love and respect among people and nations." |
