The Blessed Mother’s Warning to Prepare for the Second Coming

Jesus the Divine Mercy
By St. Faustina

The Blessed Virgin Mary :

... you have to speak to the world about His great mercy and prepare the world for the Second Coming of Him who will come, not as a merciful Savior, but as a just Judge. Oh, how terrible is that day! Determined is the day of justice, the day of divine wrath. The angels tremble before it. Speak to souls about this great mercy while it is still the time for [granting] mercy. If you keep silent now, you will be answering for a great number of souls on that terrible day. ... (635)
Quoted from: www.DivineMercy.com

The Blessed Mother and Jesus have warned us that the ‘terrible’ day of Christ’s Second Coming is near. Is everyone prepared for Jesus’ Second Coming?

St. Faustina received locutions from Jesus and the Blessed Mother in the mid 1930s. In 2000, St. Faustina was canonized as a saint. Also in 2000, the Catholic Church initiated the first Sunday after Easter as Divine Mercy Sunday, Feast Day, as Jesus had requested. Jesus told St. Faustina that the best defense for the day of His Coming is to recieve the Sacrament of Reconciliation and the Sacrament of the Eucharist, on Divine Mercy Sunday. Those who do will have all sins removed and be prepared and protected for the Divine Wrath which will precede His Kingdom Come on earth. Jesus also gave us His Divine Mercy Chaplet that we should be praying. Jesus and the Blessed Mother indicate that many will be hurled into hell, as Jesus has told us in His parables, on that terrible day. Are you prepared for Jesus’ Second Coming?

JESUS, THE DIVINE MERCY,
by St.Faustina

Jesus looked at me and said, Souls perish in spite of My bitter Passion. I am giving them the last hope of salvation; that is, the Feast of My Mercy. If they will not adore My mercy, they will perish for all eternity. Secretary of My mercy, write, tell souls about this great mercy of Mine, because the awful day, the day of My justice, is near. (Diary - Divine Mercy in My Soul, 965)

THE CHAPLET OF THE DIVINE MERCY
(Jesus is speaking through locution)

Eternal Father, I offer You the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Your dearly beloved Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ for our sins and those of the whole world; for the sake of His sorrowful Passion, have mercy on us.(Diary, 474-475)... This prayer will serve to appease My wrath. (476)

My sanctity and perfection consist in the close union of my will with the will of God. God never violates our free will. It is up to us whether we want to receive God's grace or not. It is up to us whether we will cooperate with it or waste it. (1107)

... Let no soul fear to draw near to Me, even though its sins be as scarlet. (699)

Write down these words, My daughter. Speak to the world about My mercy; let all mankind recognize My unfathomable mercy. It is a sign for the end times; after it will come the day of justice. (848)

Souls who spread the honor of My mercy I shield through their entire lives as a tender mother her infant, and at the hour of death I will not be a Judge for them, but the Merciful Savior. (1075)

He who refuses to pass through the door of My mercy must pass through the door of My justice... (1146) Today I heard a voice in my soul: Oh, if sinners knew My mercy, they would not perish in such great numbers. Tell sinful souls not to be afraid to approach Me; speak to them of My great mercy.

... Oh, how miserable are those who do not take advantage of the miracle of God's mercy! You will call out in vain, but it will be too late. (1448)

Tell sinners that no one shall escape My Hand; if they run away from My Merciful Heart, they will fall into My Just Hands. (1728)

God does hold us accountable. I had a friend hang himself and I wonder did I do enough to warn him, should I, could I have done more. We need to prepare the Bride for the Bridegroom. This is good news and we need to preach and teach the good news. This motivates me to get out and talk to people and to do all I can to help prepare them and to show them what they need to learn.

Hello Joshua,
Exactly! In Matthew 22, Jesus talks about a man not wearing a Wedding Garment when the King, God, comes to meet the guests. I think Jesus telling us to clothe ourselves in His Divine Mercy, through His Divine Mercy Chaplet and Divine Mercy Feast Day, is the Wedding Garment, Jesus, our Bridegroom, wishes us to put on to prepare for His Second Coming. Which Jesus Second Coming will be the Wedding Day of the Lamb.

What do you think?

Matthew 22:1
Jesus again in reply spoke to them in parables, saying, “The kingdom of heaven may be likened to a king who gave a wedding feast for his son. He dispatched his servants to summon the invited guests to the feast, but they refused to come. A second time he sent other servants, saying, ‘Tell those invited: “Behold, I have prepared my banquet, my calves and fattened cattle are killed, and everything is ready; come to the feast.”’ Some ignored the invitation and went away, one to his farm, another to his business. The rest laid hold of his servants, mistreated them, and killed them. The king was enraged and sent his troops, destroyed those murderers, and burned their city. Then he said to his servants, ‘The feast is ready, but those who were invited were not worthy to come. Go out, therefore, into the main roads and invite to the feast whomever you find.’ The servants went out into the streets and gathered all they found, bad and good alike, and the hall was filled with guests. But when the king came in to meet the guests he saw a man there not dressed in a wedding garment. He said to him, ‘My friend, how is it that you came in here without a wedding garment?’ But he was reduced to silence. Then the king said to his attendants, ‘Bind his hands and feet, and cast him into the darkness outside, where there will be wailing and grinding of teeth.’ Many are invited, but few are chosen.”

The garment refers to the flesh, we are to be Filled with the Holy Spirit and our flesh is to be cleansed in the Blood of Jesus. In the story about the New Wine at the wedding. I believe that the Old Wine that they served at first is symbolic of our old nature. The New Wine is the new nature we have as born again believers. They say there will be new wine when we are in Heaven but there will not be any of the old wind because there is no corruption, decay or fermentation in Heaven.

The Blessed Mother’s apparition to St. Catherine Labouré, in 1830, marks the beginning of the modern Marian era. St. Catherine Laboure’s visions of the Blessed Mother is the first indication that Christ’s Kingdom Come, aka Messianic Reign, was on the horizon.

In the Blessed Mother’s first vision, she is holding a globecross while standing on a heavenly sphere (clouds surround the sphere). The globecross is a symbol for Messianic Reign.

Then the vision changes. The Blessed Mother has released the globecross and now has her arms and hands pointed downward toward earth. There are rays shooting from the Blessed Mother’s hands, down toward earth. The rays represent all the blessings the world will receive under Messianic Reign. The Blessed Mother is standing on the crushed head of a serpent. This is symbolic for the crushing of Satan’s power on earth as Jesus takes over as King and Ruler of the world.

Hi Gracia,
When I read St. Faustina's 'Divine Mercy in My Soul', it makes, me, an old, male truck driver, wish I were a cloistered nun in her shoes. Jesus tells St. Faustina how much He cares for her and that He would build a whole new world, just for her. Of course Jesus is really talking to the whole body of His Church, only those of His Church who, love Him through obedience, constantly pray to God, and walk in His ways, and shield themselves in His Divine Mercy, though. Jesus is going to build a whole new world for His faithful. It will be the 'New Jerusalem' pictured at the end of the Book of Revelation, and it is coming soon!

Hollywood always portrays post-apocalyptic times as, all the holy people being gone from earth, and only the unrepentant wicked are left behind, on earth. The exact opposite is true. Jesus tells us that the meek, humble, and pure of heart, shall inherit the earth. Jesus tells us that He is going to command His angels to hurl the unrepentant wicked into the fire, which is hell, and get rid of them. Only a remnant of Israel will survive to enter into the 'New Jerusalem' when Jesus, Israel's Messiah, restores the Kingdom to Israel, by establishing His Kingdom Come, on earth, under Messianic Reign.

In St. Faustina's, Divine Mercy in My Soul, Jesus instructs us on how to shield ourselves on the terrible day of His Second Coming. The book is a must read for those who wish to survive the up and coming Battle of Armageddon, where Jesus commands His Angels to hurl the unrepentant wicked into hell, in preparation for the construction of His Kingdom Come, Zion, on earth.

Matthew 13:47 Parable of the Net
"The reign of God is also like a dragnet thrown into the lake, which collected all sorts of things. When it was full they hauled it ashore and sat down to put what was worthwhile into containers. What was useless they threw away. That is how it will be at the end of the world. Angels will go out and separate the wicked from the just and hurl the wicked into the fiery furnace, where they will wail and grind their teeth."

Matthew 25:30
And throw this useless servant into the darkness outside , where there will be wailing and grinding of teeth.' "When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit upon his glorious throne, and all the nations will be assembled before him. And he will separate them one from another, as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.

Matthew 13:36
Then, dismissing the crowds, he went into the house. His disciples approached him and said, "Explain to us the parable of the weeds in the field." He said in reply, "He who sows good seed is the Son of Man, the field is the world, the good seed the children of the kingdom. The weeds are the children of the evil one, and the enemy who sows them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the harvesters are angels. Just as weeds are collected and burned (up) with fire, so will it be at the end of the age. The Son of Man will send his angels, and they will collect out of his kingdom all who cause others to sin and all evildoers. They will throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be wailing and grinding of teeth. Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Whoever has ears ought to hear."

Matthew 5:1
"Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are they who mourn, for they will be comforted. Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the land.

Psalms 37:3
Trust in the LORD and do good that you may dwell in the land and live secure. Find your delight in the LORD who will give you your heart’s desire. Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him and he will act. And make your righteousness shine like the dawn, your justice like noonday. Be still before the LORD; wait for him. Do not be provoked by the prosperous, nor by malicious schemers. Refrain from anger; abandon wrath; do not be provoked; it brings only harm. Those who do evil will be cut off, but those who wait for the LORD will inherit the earth. Wait a little, and the wicked will be no more; look for them and they will not be there. But the poor will inherit the earth, will delight in great prosperity. The wicked plot against the righteous and gnash their teeth at them; But my Lord laughs at them, because he sees that their day is coming. The wicked unsheath their swords; they string their bows To fell the poor and oppressed, to slaughter those whose way is upright. Their swords will pierce their own hearts; their bows will be broken. Better the meagerness of the righteous one than the plenty of the wicked. The arms of the wicked will be broken, while the LORD will sustain the righteous. The LORD knows the days of the blameless; their heritage lasts forever. They will not be ashamed when times are bad; in days of famine they will be satisfied. The wicked perish, enemies of the LORD; They shall be consumed like fattened lambs; like smoke they disappear. The wicked one borrows but does not repay; the righteous one is generous and gives. For those blessed by the Lord will inherit the earth, but those accursed will be cut off. The valiant one whose steps are guided by the LORD, who will delight in his way, May stumble, but he will never fall, for the LORD holds his hand. Neither in my youth, nor now in old age have I seen the righteous one abandoned or his offspring begging for bread. All day long he is gracious and lends, and his offspring become a blessing. Turn from evil and do good, that you may be settled forever. For the LORD loves justice and does not abandon the faithful. When the unjust are destroyed, and the offspring of the wicked cut off, The righteous will inherit the earth and dwell in it forever. The mouth of the righteous utters wisdom; his tongue speaks what is right. God’s teaching is in his heart; his steps do not falter. The wicked spies on the righteous and seeks to kill him. But the LORD does not abandon him in his power, nor let him be condemned when tried. Wait eagerly for the LORD, and keep his way; He will raise you up to inherit the earth; you will see when the wicked are cut off. I have seen a ruthless scoundrel, spreading out like a green cedar. When I passed by again, he was gone; though I searched, he could not be found. Observe the person of integrity and mark the upright; Because there is a future for a man of peace. Sinners will be destroyed together; the future of the wicked will be cut off. The salvation of the righteous is from the LORD, their refuge in a time of distress. The LORD helps and rescues them, rescues and saves them from the wicked, because they take refuge in him.

Revelation 21:1 New Heavens and New Earth.
Then I saw new heavens and a new earth. The former heavens and the former earth had passed away, and the sea was no longer. I also saw a new Jerusalem, the holy city, coming down out of the heaven from God, beautiful as a bride prepared to meet her husband. I heard a loud voice from the throne cry out: "This is God's dwelling among men. He shall dwell with them and they shall be his people and he shall be their God who is always with them. He shall wipe every tear from their eyes, and there shall be no more death or mourning, crying out or pain, for the former world has passed away."

Revelation 22:12
"Remember, I am coming soon! I bring with me the reward that will be given to each man as his conduct deserves. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End! Happy are they who wash their robes so as to have free access to the tree of life and enter the city through its gates Outside are the dogs and sorcerers, the fornicators and murderers, the idol-worshipers and all who love falsehood."

Three Days of Darkness

Mark 13:24 The Coming of the Son of Man.
“But in those days after that tribulation the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will be falling from the sky, and the powers in the heavens will be shaken. And then they will see ‘the Son of Man coming in the clouds’ with great power and glory, and then he will send out the angels and gather [his] elect from the four winds, from the end of the earth to the end of the sky.

In Mark 13, Jesus tells us of the darkness which will accompany His Second Coming. Jesus', through locution to St Padre Pio, gave, His faithful, detailed instructions on what to do during the three days of darkness.

St. Padre Pio FEBRUARY 7, 1950

Take care of the animals during these days. I am the Creator and Preserver of all animals as well as man. I shall give you a Few signs beforehand, at which time you should place more food before them. I will preserve the property of the elect, including the animals, for they shall be in need of sustenance afterwards as well. Let no one go across the yard, even to feed the animals--he who steps outside will perish! Cover your windows carefully. My elect shall not see My wrath. Have confidence in Me, and I will be your protection. Your confidence obliges Me to come to your aid.

The hour of My coming is near! But I will show mercy. A most dreadful punishment will bear witness to the times. My angels, who are to be the executioners of this work, are ready with their pointed swords! They will take special care to annihilate all those who mocked Me and would not believe in My revelations.

Hurricanes of fire will pour forth from the clouds and spread over the entire earth! Storms, bad weather, thunderbolts and earthquakes will cover the earth for two days. An uninterrupted rain of fire will take place! It will begin during a very cold night. All this is to prove that God is the Master of Creation. Those who hope in Me, and believe in my words, have nothing to fear because I will not forsake them, nor those who spread My message. No harm will come to those who are in the state of grace and who seek My mother's protection.

That you may be prepared for these visitations, I will give you the following signs and instructions: The night will be very cold. The wind will roar. After a time, thunderbolts will be heard. Lock all the doors and windows. Talk to no one outside the house. Kneel down before a crucifix, be sorry for your sins, and beg My Mother's protection. Do not look during the earthquake, because the anger of God is holy! Jesus does not want us to behold the anger of God, because God's anger must be contemplated with fear and trembling.

Those who disregard this advice will be killed instantly. The wind will carry with it poisonous gases which will be diffused over the entire earth. Those who suffer and die innocently will be martyrs and they will be with Me in My Kingdom.

Satan will triumph! But after three nights, the earthquake and fire will cease. On the following day the sun will shine again. angels will descend from Heaven and will spread the spirit of peace over the earth. A feeling of immeasurable gratitude will take possession of those who survive this terrible ordeal-the impending punishment-with which God has visited the earth since creation.

I have chosen souls in other countries too, such as Belgium, Switzerland. Spain, who have received these revelations so that other countries also may be prepared. Pray much during this Holy Year of 1950. Pray the Rosary, but pray it well, so that your prayers may reach Heaven. Soon a more terrible catastrophe shall come upon the entire world, such as never before has been witnessed, a terrible chastisement never before experienced! The war of 1950 shall be the introduction to these things.

How unconcerned men are regarding these things! which shall so soon come upon them, contrary to all expectations. How indifferent they are in preparing themselves for these unheard of events, through which they will have to pass so shortly!

The weight of the Divine balance has reached the earth! The wrath of My Father shall be poured out over the entire world! I am again warning the world through your instrumentality, as I have so often done heretofore.

The sins of men have multiplied beyond measure: Irreverence in Church, sinful pride committed in sham religious activities, lack of true brotherly love, indecency in dress, especially at summer seasons...The world is filled with iniquity.

This catastrophe shall come upon the earth like a flash of lightning at which moment the light of the morning sun shall be replaced by black darkness! No one shall leave the house or look out of a window from that moment on. I Myself shall come amidst thunder and lightning. The wicked shall behold My Divine Heart. There shall be great confusion because of this utter darkness in which the entire earth shall be enveloped, and many, many shall die from fear and despair.

Those who shall fight for My cause shall receive grace from My Divine Heart; and the cry: "WHO IS LIKE UNTO GOD!" shall serve as a means of protection to many. However, many shall burn in the open fields like withered grass! The godless shall be annihilated, so that afterwards the just shall be able to stand afresh.

On the day, as soon as complete darkness has set in, no one shall leave the house or look from out of the window. The darkness shall last a day and a night, followed by another day and a night, and another day--but on the night following, the stars will shine again, and on the next morning the sun shall rise again, and it will be SPRINGTIME!!

In the days of darkness, My elect shall not sleep, as did the disciples in the garden of olives. They, shall pray incessantly, and they shall not be disappointed in Me. I shall gather My elect. Hell will believe itself to be in possession of the entire earth, but I shall reclaim it!

Do you, perhaps, think that I would permit My Father to have such terrible chastisements come upon the world, if the world would turn from iniquity to justice? But because of My great love, these afflictions shall be permitted to come upon man. Although many shall curse Me, yet thousands of souls shall be saved through them. No human understanding can fathom the depth of My love!

Pray! Pray! I desire your prayers. My Dear Mother Mary, Saint Joseph, Saint Elizabeth, Saint Conrad, Saint Michael. Saint Peter, the Little Therese, Your Holy Angels, shall be your intercessors. Implore their aid! Be courageous soldiers of Christ! At the return of light, let everyone give thanks to the Holy Trinity for Their protection! The devastation shall be very great! But I, Your God, will have purified the earth. I am with you. Have confidence!

"just judge"? That's pure medieval religion of Jesus as the angry figure with his Mom placating his wrath. I don't buy it, sorry. It's a convenient trope for a religion to manipulate peoples consciences, though.

Hello ubicaritas,

Are you saying that Jesus' teachings, on who He is going to burn in hell, are incorrect? Are you thinking Jesus would be too 'medieval' to burn the unrepentant wicked in hell upon His Second Coming, as He tells us through scriptures, that He is going to do?

John 5:27
"The Father has given over to him power to pass judgment because he is Son of Man; no need for you to be surprised at this, for an hour is coming in which all those in their tombs shall hear his voice and come forth. Those who have done right shall rise to live; the evildoers shall rise to be damned."

Matthew 25:41
Then he will say to those on his left, 'Depart from me, you accursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. For I was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you gave me no drink, a stranger and you gave me no welcome, naked and you gave me no clothing, ill and in prison, and you did not care for me.' Then they will answer and say, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or ill or in prison, and not minister to your needs?' He will answer them, 'Amen, I say to you, what you did not do for one of these least ones, you did not do for me.' And these will go off to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life."

Revelation 2:22
"I mean to cast her down on a bed of pain; her companions in sin I will plunge into intense suffering unless they repent of their sins with her, and her children I will put to death. Thus shall all the churches come to know that I am the searcher of hearts and minds, and that I will give each of you what your conduct deserves."

Matthew 7:13
How narrow the gate and constricted the road that leads to life. And those who find it are few. "Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but underneath are ravenous wolves. By their fruits you will know them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? Just so, every good tree bears good fruit, and a rotten tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a rotten tree bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire. So by their fruits you will know them. "Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father in heaven.

I don't understand those passages the way Catholics do. Jesus is using imagery from his culture but that doesn't necessarily mean I understand it literally. In addition, Revelation is not a source of dogma in our religion, being a book of disputed apostolicity.

My religion teaches me that Jesus is the friend of sinners and that we can trust in his mercy with confidence and boldness. He is not our judge.

Matthew 7:21
"None of those who cry out, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of God but only the one who does the will of my Father in heaven. When that day comes, many will plead with me, 'Lord, Lord,' have we not prophesied in your name? have we not exorcized demons by its power? Did we not do many miracles in your name as well? Then I will declare to them solemnly, I never knew you. Out of my sight, you evildoers!"
"Anyone who hears my words and puts them into practice is like the wise man who built his house on rock. When the rainy season set in, the torrents came and the winds blew and buffeted his house, It did not collapse; it had been solidly set on rock. Anyone who hears my words but does not put them into practice is like the foolish man who built his house on sandy ground. The rains fell, the torrents came, the winds blew and lashed against his house. It collapsed under all this and was completely ruined."

Hello ubicaritas,
We are not talking The Book of Revelation here. We are talking about Jesus teachings which He preached while He was in the flesh on earth. Jesus tells us that many will come to Him on Judgement Day claiming to be His friends; many of which had faith great enough to preform miracles, exorcise demons, and the gift of prophesy. Jesus says He is going to burn many of these 'friends' in hell because they were evildoers and did not practice what He taught.

How do you read Jesus teachings in the scripture I present in this post? Jesus teaches that to put faith in Him, and to believe in Him, means to obey what He teaches you to do, with all your heart, with all your strength, with all your mind and with all your soul.

John 12:44
Jesus proclaimed aloud: "Whoever puts faith in me believes not so much in me as in him who sent me; and whoever looks on me is seeing him who sent me. I have come to the world as its light, to keep anyone who believes in me from remaining in the dark. If anyone hears my words and does not keep them, I am not the one to condemn him, for I did not come to condemn the world but to save it. Whoever rejects me and does not accept my words already has his judge, namely, the word I have spoken it is that which will condemn him on the last day. For I have not spoken on my own; no, the Father who sent me has commanded me what to say and how to speak. Since I know that his commandment means eternal life, whatever I say is spoken just as he instructed me."

Matthew 16:24
Jesus then said to his disciples: "If a man wishes to come after me, he must deny his very self, take up his cross, and begin to follow in my footsteps.Whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. What profit would a man show if he were to gain the whole world and destroy himself in the process? What can a man offer in exchange for his very self? The Son of Man will come with his Fathers glory accompanied by his angels. When he does, he will repay each man according to his conduct."

Matthew 13:23
Someone asked him, "Lord, will only a few people be saved?" He answered them, "Strive to enter through the narrow gate, for many, I tell you, will attempt to enter but will not be strong enough. After the master of the house has arisen and locked the door, then will you stand outside knocking and saying, 'Lord, open the door for us.' He will say to you in reply, 'I do not know where you are from.' And you will say, 'We ate and drank in your company and you taught in our streets.' Then he will say to you, 'I do not know where (you) are from. Depart from me, all you evildoers!' And there will be wailing and grinding of teeth when you see Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God and you yourselves cast out.

John 3:36
Whoever believes in the Son has life eternal. Whoever disobeys the Son will not see life, but must endure the wrath of God.

Jesus' righteousness is sufficient for me. I see no reason to doubt that. He has payed the penalty of my sins in full.

Is there anyone else here that takes the 'universal salvation' stand, where everyone goes to heaven regardless of who Jesus says He is going to burn in hell?

Not me. Then again, I don't think the image of Jesus burning people in hell is the appropriate one for conscience-plagued sinners.

Isaiah 26:20 THE LORD’S RESPONSE
Go, my people, enter your chambers, and close the doors behind you;
Hide yourselves for a brief moment, until the wrath is past. See, the LORD goes forth from his place, to punish the wickedness of the earth’s inhabitants; The earth will reveal the blood shed upon it, and no longer conceal the slain.

St. Padre Pio's 'Three Days of Darkness' is foretold in Old Testament. In Isaiah 20, we see that we indeed are to enter into our homes and hide ourselves as the Lord's wrath passes us by. As in the days of the Exodus from Egypt, where God's Woes of darkness and death Passed Over God's People, so will it be for Christ's obedient faithful upon the Second Coming of Jesus.

Revelation 7:13
Then one of the elders spoke up and said to me,“Who are these wearing white robes, and where did they come from?” I said to him , “My lord, you are the one who knows.” He said to me, “These are the ones who have survived the time of great distress; they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. “For this reason they stand before God’s throne and worship him day and night in his temple. The one who sits on the throne will shelter them.

Through St. Faustina, Jesus has instructed us on how to wash our (Wedding Garment) robes in the blood of the Lamb. We are to repent and seek absolution through Jesus' representatives (Jesus' Priests) on earth. We are to pray Jesus Chaplet of Divine Mercy. We are to take advantage of Jesus gift of His Divine Mercy Sunday.

Through Apparitions and Locutions from Jesus and the Blessed Mother, we are now instructed on how to prepare ourselves for the Second Coming of our Lord, Jesus Christ. Jesus wills us to put on the Wedding Garment of His Bride, the Church, in preparation for the Coming of the Bridegroom, Jesus. Those who prepare themselves for the Second Coming will be sheltered from the great wrath of God which is about to come upon the earth. Those who put on Jesus gift of the Wedding Garment will survive the impending Battle of Armageddon, and enter into Christ Kingdom Come on earth.

The future of those who do not 'wash their robes in the blood of the Lamb', is disastrous.

Isaiah 13
Howl, for the day of the LORD is near; as destruction from the Almighty it comes. Therefore all hands fall helpless, every human heart melts, and they are terrified, Pangs and sorrows take hold of them, like a woman in labor they writhe; They look aghast at each other, their faces aflame. Indeed, the day of the LORD comes, cruel, with wrath and burning anger; To lay waste the land and destroy the sinners within it! The stars of the heavens and their constellations will send forth no light; The sun will be dark at its rising, and the moon will not give its light. Thus I will punish the world for its evil and the wicked for their guilt. I will put an end to the pride of the arrogant, the insolence of tyrants I will humble. I will make mortals more rare than pure gold, human beings, than the gold of Ophir. For this I will make the heavens tremble and the earth shall be shaken from its place, At the wrath of the LORD of hosts on the day of his burning anger.

Matthew 24:29 The Coming of the Son of Man.
Immediately after the tribulation of those days, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. And then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming upon the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And he will send out his angels with a trumpet blast, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other.

Jesus is Israel's Messiah. With Jesus, a descendant of king David, Ruling the World, Israel is Restored and Zion is born. Christ's Church will metamorphosis into Christ's Kingdom Come, Zion, on earth. Only a remnant of God's people survive to enter into Christ's Kingdom Come, of the Restored Zion, on earth. It is Christ's faithful, who put on the Wedding Garment that He is now providing, who will survive to become citizens of Christ's Kingdom Come on earth, new born, Zion.

Zephaniah 3:8 THE NATIONS PUNISHED AND JERUSALEM RESTORED

Therefore, wait for me oracle of the LORD until the day when I arise as accuser; For it is my decision to gather nations, to assemble kingdoms, In order to pour out upon them my wrath, all my blazing anger; For in the fire of my passion all the earth will be consumed. For then I will make pure the speech of the peoples, That they all may call upon the name of the LORD, to serve him with one accord; From beyond the rivers of Ethiopia and as far as the recesses of the North, they shall bring me offerings. On that day You will not be ashamed of all your deeds, when you rebelled against me; For then I will remove from your midst the proud braggarts, And you shall no longer exalt yourself on my holy mountain. But I will leave as a remnant in your midst a people humble and lowly, Who shall take refuge in the name of the LORD the remnant of Israel. They shall do no wrong and speak no lies; Nor shall there be found in their mouths a deceitful tongue;They shall pasture and lie down with none to disturb them. Shout for joy, daughter Zion! sing joyfully, Israel! Be glad and exult with all your heart, daughter Jerusalem! The LORD has removed the judgment against you, he has turned away your enemies; The King of Israel, the LORD, is in your midst, you have no further misfortune to fear. On that day, it shall be said to Jerusalem: Do not fear, Zion, do not be discouraged! The LORD, your God, is in your midst, a mighty savior, Who will rejoice over you with gladness, and renew you in his love, Who will sing joyfully because of you, as on festival days. I will remove disaster from among you, so that no one may recount your disgrace. At that time I will deal with all who oppress you; I will save the lame, and assemble the outcasts; I will give them praise and renown in every land where they were shamed. At that time I will bring you home, and at that time I will gather you; For I will give you renown and praise, among all the peoples of the earth, When I bring about your restoration before your very eyes, says the LORD

Isaiah 10:17
The Light of Israel will become a fire, the Holy One, a flame, That burns and consumes its briers and its thorns in a single day. And the glory of its forests and orchards will be consumed, soul and body, and it will be like a sick man who wastes away. And the remnant of the trees in his forest will be so few, that any child can record them. On that day The remnant of Israel, the survivors of the house of Jacob, will no more lean upon the one who struck them; But they will lean upon the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, in truth. A remnant will return, the remnant of Jacob, to the mighty God. Though your people, O Israel, were like the sand of the sea, Only a remnant of them will return; their destruction is decreed, as overflowing justice demands.

Joel 3:1 THE DAY OF THE LORD
Then everyone who calls upon the name of the LORD will escape harm. For on Mount Zion there will be a remnant, as the LORD has said, And in Jerusalem survivors whom the LORD will summon.

Isaiah 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 storm wind; 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...

...Just as the new heavens and the new earth which I am making Shall endure before me oracle of the LORD to 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.

Revelation 12:1 The Woman and the Dragon
A great sign appeared in the sky, a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars. Then another sign appeared in the sky; it was a huge red dragon,with seven heads and ten horns, and on its heads were seven diadems. Its tail swept away a third of the stars in the sky and hurled them down to the earth. Then the dragon stood before the woman about to give birth, to devour her child when she gave birth. She gave birth to a son, a male child, destined to rule all the nations with an iron rod Her child was caught up to God and his throne...

...Then war broke out in heaven; Michael and his angels battled against the dragon. The dragon and its angels fought back, who is called the Devil and Satan, who deceived the whole world, was thrown down to earth, and its angels were thrown down with it.

Then I heard a loud voice in heaven say:

“Now have salvation and power come,

and the kingdom of our God

and the authority of his Anointed.

The Triumph of Mary’s Immaculate Heart

Second Secret of Fatima

We then looked up at Our Lady, who said to us so kindly and so sadly:

“You have seen hell where the souls of poor sinners go. To save them, God wishes to establish in the world devotion to my Immaculate Heart. If what I say to you is done, many souls will be saved and there will be peace. The war is going to end: but if people do not cease offending God, a worse one will break out during the Pontificate of Pius XI. When you see a night illumined by an unknown light, know that this is the great sign given you by God that he is about to punish the world for its crimes, by means of war, famine, and persecutions of the Church and of the Holy Father. To prevent this, I shall come to ask for the consecration of Russia to my Immaculate Heart, and the Communion of reparation on the First Saturdays. If my requests are heeded, Russia will be converted, and there will be peace; if not, she will spread her errors throughout the world, causing wars and persecutions of the Church. The good will be martyred; the Holy Father will have much to suffer; various nations will be annihilated. In the end, my Immaculate Heart will triumph. The Holy Father will consecrate Russia to me, and she shall be converted, and a period of peace will be granted to the world”.

The Message of Fatima

The Miracle of the Sun, in the year 1917, delivered through apparitions of the Blessed Mother of Fatima, is the greatest mass miracle since the days of Jesus and His Apostles. 60,000 people, believers and scoffers alike, witnessed The Miracle of the Sun. When God wants to reinforce messages from the Blessed Mother; God does so with miracles. When it comes to important messages from God, through the Blessed Mother, it does not get any bigger than Our Lady of Fatima, and The Miracle of the Sun.

Our Lady of Fatima gave us many messages through three seer shepherd children, Lucia, Francisco and Jacinta. The greatest messages were the Three Secrets of Fatima. The first secret was a vision of hell. The third secret was a map for the Church to take through the Battle of Armageddon and into Messianic Reign.

As for the Second Secret of Fatima, God elevates the Blessed Mother Mary as a primary vessel of our future deliverance from our present world, which has Satan ruling over it, to our future world, in which Jesus will be King and Ruler of the world. As the Blessed Mother delivered our Savior, Jesus Christ, into this world; So will the Blessed Mother deliver Christ's Church into Christ’s Kingdom Come, of the Restored Kingdom of Israel, Zion. Zion will be Jesus' post Armageddon, Church. The Blessed Mother tells us that we will enter into The Golden Era of Mankind, in which there will be peace and abundant blessings from Heaven.

It is the Blessed Mother who is the woman of the apocalypse in Revelation 12. It is the Blessed Mother who is depicted as Mother Zion in Isaiah 66. It is the Blessed Mother who is depicted as offering us the globe cross, which represents Messianic Reign. It is the Blessed Mother who is depicted as standing on the crushed head of the serpent, which is Satan. It is the Blessed Mother who is depicted as pouring out blessings from Heaven, flowing to earth, represented in the rays shooting out from her hands to earth.

The Blessed Mother did not die for our sins. Yet it is clearly seen in scripture, and present day messages from God, that God wills His people to recognize the Blessed Mother as a primary vessel, through which God will deliver us from our present world, which is dominated by Satan, into our future world, the Golden Era of Mankind, where Jesus will be King and Ruler of the world.

God tells us, The Immaculate Heart of Mary will Triumph over Satan

Isaiah 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.

Revelation 12:5 The Woman and the Dragon
A great sign appeared in the sky, a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars. She gave birth to a son--a boy destined to shepherd all the nations with an iron rod. Her child was caught up to God and to his throne. The woman herself fled into the desert, where a special place had been prepared for her by God; there she was taken care of for twelve hundred and sixty days...

...Then war broke out in heaven; Michael and his angels battled against the dragon. Although the dragon and his angels fought back, they were overpowered and lost their place in heaven. The huge dragon, the ancient serpent known as the devil or Satan, the seducer of the whole world, was driven out; he was hurled down to earth and his minions with him. Then I heard a loud voice in heaven say: "Now have salvation and power come, the reign of our God and the authority of his Anointed One…

...When the dragon saw that it had been thrown down to the earth, it pursued the woman who had given birth to the male child. But the woman was given the two wings of the great eagle, so that she could fly to her place in the desert, where, far from the serpent, she was taken care of for a year, two years, and a half-year. The serpent, however, spewed a torrent of water out of his mouth after the woman to sweep her away with the current. But the earth helped the woman and opened its mouth and swallowed the flood that the dragon spewed out of its mouth. Then the dragon became angry with the woman and went off to wage war against the rest of her offspring, those who keep God’s commandments and bear witness to Jesus.

Our Lady of Zeitoun. Zeitoun is in district of Cairo, Egypt. These are live photos. Hundreds of thousands of people witnessed the Blessed Mother's Apparitions here from 1968-1971. Even the President of Egypt Gamal Abdel Nasser saw her. The Blessed Mother was even captured on tv news cameras. I just want to show that the Blessed Mother is appearing in our era, in case anyone doubted it. There were no messages or verbal contact with the Blessed Mother in Zeitoun, though.
