As indicated in previous posts The Apostasy, The Mark of the Beast, The Rebellion and The Great Tribulation are well underway. I believe that in line with Jesus’ prophecy in Mathew 24, all of this is coming to its fulfilment in our time. Throughout the True Life in God (TLIG) messages, Our Lord repeatedly urges us to read the “signs of the times” and that His return is imminent.
Our Lady described the signs of the End of The Times to Fr Gobi (To The Priests, Our Lady’s Beloved Sons, 12th Ed; locution 485, pgs 801-804). The first sign she noted was the spread of errors, which lead to the loss of faith and to apostasy. As it says in 2 Timothy 4: For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own likings, and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander into myths. (2 Timothy 4:3-4; RSV). The internet is full of individuals sprouting their own myths, legends and conspiracy theories on just about any topic you can think of. As I stated in my Introduction (here): There is a mountain of “stuff” on the internet. Most of it is worthless, clearly false, likely of diabolical origin and designed as “click bait” to earn money for the sponsor from advertising. Do a search of Youtube on the “End Times” and you will get a plethora of wanna-be prophets, trying to make money out of sensationalism. Jesus warned us this would happen.
The second sign: is the outbreak of wars and fratricidal struggles, which lead to the prevalence of violence and hatred and a general slackening off of charity, while natural catastrophes, such as epidemics, famines, floods and earthquakes, become more and more frequent. ‘When you hear of reports of wars, close at hand or far away, see that you are not alarmed; for these things must happen. Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in many places. All this will be only the beginning of greater sufferings to come. Evildoing will be so widespread that the love of many will grow cold[emphasis added]. But God will save those who persevere until the end.‘ (To The Priests, Our Lady’s Beloved Sons, 12th Ed; locution 485, pg 802; see also Mt 24, 68.12-13)
Since 1900 there have been five pandemics responsible for the deaths of millions. As noted in my previous post (here) there has been war somewhere in the world every year since the beginning of the 20th century. While initially, speaking about the war in Ukraine: Pope Francis noted that we are living a third world war fought piecemeal, saying that although Ukraine feels closer, there has been a terrible war in Syria for 13 years, as well as in Myanmar and “everywhere in Africa”. “The world is at war,” he said. Pope Francis then pointed to something that causes him great worry: an “attitude of indifference”. [emphasis added] In the face of so many poor people, refugees, and people who are suffering this Christmas, there is a terrible attitude of indifference, said the Pope. https://www.vaticannews.va/en/pope/news/2022-12/pope-francis-interview-canale-5-italian-television.html. At Cuapa in Nicaragua in 1980 Our Lady told Bernado Martinez that “…if you (the world) don’t change, you will hasten the arrival of a Third World War.” (Antichrist and the End Times” 2005, Fr Joseph Iannuzzi).
According to the Global Report on Food Crises 2025: In 2024, 295.3 million people – 22.6 percent of the analysed population – faced high levels of acute food insecurity in 53 of the 65 countries/territories selected for the Global Report on Food Crises. This is the sixth consecutive annual increase (https://wfp.tind.io/record/130664?v=pdf). Famine appears to be spreading.
According to USA Facts, the number of natural weather disasters with damages of more than a billion dollars has increased over the last forty years. From 1980 to 2024, the US averaged 9 events per year, while the annual average for the most recent 5 years is 23 (https://usafacts.org/articles/are-the-number-of-major-natural-disasters-increasing/. Many attribute this to climate change.
The third sign described by Our Lady to Fr Gobi is the bloody persecution of those who remain faithful to Jesus and to His Gospel (To The Priests, Our Lady’s Beloved Sons, 12th Ed; locution 485, pg 802). As Jesus predicted, The Church has suffered numerous persecutions throughout history. However, the persecution of the Antichrist is predicted in the Book of Daniel Ch11: Those who break the covenant he (the Antichrist) will corrupt by his flatteries, but the people who know their God will stand firm and take action. Those of the people who are learned will instruct many; for some days, however, they will be brought down by sword and flame, by captivity and by plundering. (Jerusalem Bible, Book of Daniel 11:32-33). It is currently estimated that 1 in 7 Christians face severe persecution across the world. This figure varies and some places are worse than others. In Africa the rate is 1 in 5 and in Asia the rate is 2 in 5. This equates to 380 million Christians facing a high level of persecution across the world at this time (see: https://www.opendoors.org/en-US/persecution/countries/). During the 20th century, persecution of Christians increased under various Fascist, Communist and Authoritarian regimes. In 2010 Pope Benedict XVI stated that Christians were the most persecuted group in the contemporary world (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persecution_of_Christians).Under the Antichrist we could expect this to deteriorate.
The fourth sign is well described by Our Lady: The Holy Mass [of The Catholic Church] is the daily sacrifice, the pure oblation which is offered to the Lord everywhere, from the rising of the sun to its going down. The sacrifice of the Mass renews that which was accomplished by Jesus on Calvary. By accepting the protestant doctrine, people will hold that the Mass is not a sacrifice but only a sacred meal, that is to say, a remembrance of that which Jesus did at his last supper. And thus, the celebration of Holy Mass will be suppressed. In this abolition of the daily sacrifice consists the horrible sacrilege accomplished by the Antichrist, which will last about three and a half years, namely, one thousand two hundred and ninety days. (To The Priests, Our Lady’s Beloved Sons, 12th Ed; locution 485, pg 803). To date, this has not occurred, however since the Second Vatican Council we have seen an increasing “protestanisation” of the Catholic Mass and liturgical practices. In 2021 we saw further suppression of the Latin Mass. It would only take a small change to the Novus Ordo Mass to bring about the abolition of the daily sacrifice. Given that changes in the Liturgy have come piecemeal over the decades, it is conceivable that most won’t even notice.
The fifth sign is extraordinary phenomena occurring in the sky. Our Lady cited as an example, the Miracle of the Sun recorded at Fatima in 1917 where the sun appeared to dance around in the sky before an estimated crowd of 70,000 people. Our Lady states to Fr Gobi: And then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven. All the tribes of the earth will mourn, and men will see the Son of Man coming upon the clouds of heaven, with great power and splendour….I have wanted to teach you about these signs, which Jesus has pointed out to you in his Gospel, in order to prepare you for the end of the times, because these are about to take place in your days. (Ibid, pg 804). Our Lady concludes with: The year which is coming to a close,[1992] and that which is beginning [1993], form part of the great tribulation, during which the apostasy is spreading, the wars are multiplying, natural catastrophes are occurring in many places, persecutions are intensifying, the announcement of the Gospel is being brought to all nations, extraordinary phenomena are occurring in the sky, and the moment of the full manifestation of the Antichrist is drawing ever nearer. (ibid pg 804).
Numerous people have reported a “Miracle of the Sun” type event at Medjugorje; such as occurred on 2nd August 2009 during an apparition. The prophecies given to the visionaries at Medjugorje are almost complete and may start to manifest in the coming years. These events will serve to notify the human race that God is real and many will convert. At Medjugorje, Our Lady indicated that when the permanent sign appears, it will be too late. This sign will be given for the atheists. You faithful already have signs and you have become the sign for the atheists. You faithful must not wait for the sign before you convert; convert soon. This time is a time of grace for you. You can never thank God enough for His grace. The time is for deepening your faith, and for your conversion. When the sign comes, it will be too late for many. (https://www.medjugorje.org/overview.htm).
A Warning, a Miracle and Chastisement were also predicted at Garabandal in Spain (1961 to 1965) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garabandal_apparitions). The Warning is said to precede the Miracle by not more than 12 months. The Chastisement depends upon how the world reacts to the Warning and Miracle. In the Warning, everyone in the world will see the state of their soul as God sees it. It would be consistent with Our Lord’s mercy to give us a warning before any Chastisement. That is why He gives us signs and prophecy. One of the visionaries, Conchita Gonzales is said to announce the Miracle before it occurs. Conchita is now 76 years old, a grandmother and lives in the USA. Garabandal is also mentioned in the TLIG messages, numerous times. Jesus has described an event like the Warning to Vassula (TLIG): “courage, daughter; courage, beloved ones; I know it is hard to live in wilderness, but the End of these Times are soon with you; soon I will descend to purify you; I, the Lord, solemnly tell you, that I will seize you by surprise, inducing My Light upon you; My Heavens will shake the earth and all those who love Me will glorify Me, bending their knee, and many will remember Me and return to Me; this will be known as the Great Conversion of the Church; but, to My great sorrow, there will be those stubborn souls who blasphemed My Holy Name and who battle on My adversary’s side; these souls will reject Me even more; when this happens, Satan will wipe them away, pulling them with him into the Eternal Fire; (TLIG message 16/08/1998).
What is clear is that when these signs appear, there will be no “fence sitters”. After these events everyone will know that what is occurring is from God and there will be no excuses for the human race.
May Jesus and Mary be loved by all hearts
