Hi Michie,
Fatima (1917), St. Faustina (1935 ish) and St. Pio (1950), all are apparitions and locutions indicating the Restoration of Israel. The ‘Golden Era’ of peace that the Blessed Mother talks about is telling us about, lays within Christ’s Kingdom Come, on earth, in the near future.
Right before Christ’s Ascension into heaven; His Apostles want to know, ‘What about the restoration of Israel?’ (Acts 1). They want to know because this is the big event that God Promised His Messiah would do. Apparitions from Mary and Locutions from Jesus, are indicating that God’s Big Promise to Israel is about to be fulfilled.
In His Beatitudes, Jesus tells us that the meek and humble and pure of heart will inherit the earth. How does God do this? God is going to come through in a great judgment and put to death all the unrepentant wicked. Christ’s faithful will come out of their darkened homes, and into Christ’s Kingdom Come of Messianic Reign. They will see the massive number of corpses of the unrepentant wicked who rebelled against God. Like Israel in Egypt, Christ’s faithful will not be harmed by the Woes of God, being deployed at Armageddon. Christ’s Church, those of Christ’s Church faithful to Jesus, will survive to inherit the earth. Christ’s faithful will see all the blessings of God that He so greatly wants to bestow upon them.
It is Christ’s Church, the Catholic Church, which will metamorphosis into Christ’s Kingdom Come of post Armageddon, Zion, aka the New Jerusalem. The end is not coming for all of us. Probably most of us on earth will be destroyed by God’s wrath, but a remnant will survive to become the fulfillment of God’s great Promise to Israel, new born Zion.
NAB ISA 66:7 Mother Zion
Before she is in labor, she gives birth; Before her pangs come upon her, she delivers a male child. Who ever heard of such a thing, or who ever saw the like? Can a land be brought forth in one day, or a nation be born in a single moment? Yet Zion was scarcely in labor when she bore her children. Shall I bring a mother to the point of birth, and yet not let her child be born? says the LORD. Or shall I who bring to birth yet close her womb? says your God. Rejoice with Jerusalem and be glad because of her, all you who love her; Rejoice with her in her joy, all you who mourn over her-So that you may nurse and be satisfied from her consoling breast; That you may drink with delight at her abundant breasts!
For thus says the LORD: I will spread prosperity over her like a river, like an overflowing torrent, the wealth of nations. You shall nurse, carried in her arms, cradled upon her knees; As a mother comforts her child, so I will comfort you; in Jerusalem you shall find your comfort. You will see and your heart shall exult, and your bodies shall flourish like the grass; The LORD’s power shall be revealed to his servants, but to his enemies, his wrath. For see, the LORD will come in fire, his chariots like the stormwind; To wreak his anger in burning rage and his rebuke in fiery flames. For with fire the LORD shall enter into judgment, and, with his sword, against all flesh; Those slain by the LORD shall be many. Those who sanctify and purify themselves to go into the gardens, following one who stands within, eating pig’s flesh, abominable things, and mice, shall all together come to an end, with their deeds and purposes—oracle of the LORD.
God Gathers the Nations.
I am coming to gather all nations and tongues; they shall come and see my glory. I will place a sign among them; from them I will send survivors to the nations: to Tarshish, Put and Lud, Mosoch, Tubal and Javan, to the distant coastlands which have never heard of my fame, or seen my glory; and they shall proclaim my glory among the nations. They shall bring all your kin from all the nations as an offering to the LORD, on horses and in chariots, in carts, upon mules and dromedaries, to Jerusalem, my holy mountain, says the LORD, just as the Israelites bring their grain offering in a clean vessel to the house of the LORD. Some of these I will take as priests and Levites, says the LORD. Just as the new heavens and the new earth which I am making Shall endure before me—oracle of the LORD—so shall your descendants and your name endure. From new moon to new moon, and from sabbath to sabbath, All flesh shall come to worship before me, says the LORD. They shall go out and see the corpses of the people who rebelled against me; For their worm shall not die, their fire shall not be extinguished; and they shall be an abhorrence to all flesh.
