At Fatima, Our Lady gave
to the world this very clear and beautiful promise: "In
the end my Immaculate Heart will triumph, ...and a period
of peace will be granted to the world."
Our Lady
of La Salette spoke about these same events, and more, when
she appeared on Sept. 19, 1846 to two sheperd children in
La Salette, France. Our Lady spoke of the following events:
"The vicar of my Son will have much to suffer, as, for a
time, the Church will be the victim of great persecution:
this will be the time of darkness. The Church will suffer a
terrible crisis... The righteous will suffer greatly. Their
prayers, their penances and their tears will rise up to
heaven and all of God's people will beg for forgiveness and
mercy and will plead for my help and intercession. And then
Jesus Christ, in an act of His justice and His great mercy
will command His Angels to have all His enemies put to
death. Suddenly, the persecuters of the Church of Jesus
Christ and all those given over to sin will perish and the
earth will become desert-like. And then peace will be made,
and man will be reconciled to God.
In another
place, Our Lady of La Salette reveals the following:
"The earth will be struck by calamities of all kinds.
There will be a series of wars until the last war, which
will be fought by the ten kings of the Antichrist, all of
whom will have one and the same plan and will be the only
rulers of the world. Before this comes to pass, there will
be a kind of false peace in the world. People will think of
nothing but amusement. The wicked will give themselves over
to all kinds of sin. But the children of the Holy Church,
the children of the faith, my true followers, they will
grow in their love for God and in all the virtues most
precious to Me. Blessed are the souls humbly guided by the
Holy Spirit! I shall fight at their side until they reach a
fullness of years...
"All the universe will be
struck with terror and many will let themselves be led
astray because they have not worshipped the true Christ who
lives among them. It is time; the sun is darkening;
only faith will survive.
"Now is the time, the abyss
is opening. Here is the king of kings of darkness, here is
the Beast with his subjects, calling himself the Saviour of
the world. He will rise proudly into the air to go to
Heaven. He will be smothered by the breath of the Archangel
Saint Michael. He will fall, and the earth, which will have
been in a continual series of evolutions for three days,
will open up its fiery bowels; and he will have plunged for
eternity with all his followers into the everlasting chasms
of hell. And then water and fire will purge the earth and
consume all the works of men's pride and all will be
renewed. God will be served and glorified."
When the revelations of Our Lady of
Fatima are considered side by side with what Our
Lady of La Salette revealed, what is being obscurely
shown, is that the promised era of peace will arrive with
the return of Jesus in Glory. This connection is made
clearer by yet another revelation of Our Lady, which was
given to the priests through Father Gobbi.
In
message #532, given through Fr. Gobbi, "To the Priests, Our
Lady's Beloved Sons", The Mother of God revealed when this
era of peace, will come. Here follows the message of Our
Lady:
"I confirm to you that, by the
great jubilee of the year two thousand, there will take
place the triumph of my Immaculate Heart, of which I
fortold you at Fatima, and this will come to pass with the
return of Jesus in glory, to establsh His reign in the
world. Thus you will at last see with your own eyes the new
heavens and the new earth."
In the
messages of Fatima and also La Salette, Our Lady spoke of
how both the Holy Father and the Church would experience a
time of great trouble, which would be followed by an era of
peace. This time of great trouble is of course the great
tribulation, which will come to an end with the return of
Jesus in Glory.
According to
both Sacred Scripture and Sacred Tradition, one of the
major factors which will decide who will be rewarded, vs.
who will be punished; involves both the "mark of the beast"
(microchip implant) and the "image of the beast"
(Antichrist).
"And the third angel followed them,
saying with a loud voice: If any man shall adore the beast
and his image, and receive his character in his forehead,
or in his hand; he also shall drink of the wine of the
wrath of God. which is mingled with pure wine in the cup of
His wrath, and shall be tormented with fire and brimstone
in the sight of the holy angels, and in the sight of the
Lamb. And the smoke of their torments shall ascend up for
ever and ever: neither have they rest day nor night, who
have adored the beast, and his image, and whoever receiveth
the character of his name.
What will the Era of Peace be
like?
It will be during the
era of peace when the world will once again become that
which God had originally intended it to be without the
influence of evil; as it was in the garden before the sin
of Adam.
"And in that day I will make a covenant
with them, with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls
of the air, and with the creeping things of the earth: and
I will destroy the bow, and the sword, and war out of the
land: and I will make them sleep secure. And I will espouse
thee to me forever: and I will espouse thee to me in
justice, and judgment, and in mercy, and in commiserations.
And I will espouse thee to me in faith: and thou shalt know
that I am the Lord. And it shall come to pass in that day:
I will hear, saith the Lord, I will hear the heavens, and
they shall hear the earth. And the earth shall hear the
corn, and the wine, and the oil, and these shall hear
Jezrahel. And I will sow her unto me in the earth, and I
will have mercy on her that was without mercy. And I will
say to that which was not my people: Thou art my people:
and they shall say: Thou art my God." (Osse
2:18-24)
In the Garden of Eden the animals were
harmonious with man and each other. This marvel will once
again return during the era of peace when these words of
the Prophet Isaias will be
fulfilled:
"The wolf shall dwell with the
lamb: and the leopard shall lie down with the kid: the calf
and the lion, and the sheep shall abide together, and the
little child shall lead them. The calf and the bear shall
feed: their young ones shall rest together: and the lion
shall eat straw like the ox. And the sucking child shall
play on the hole of the asp: and the weaned child shall
thrust his hand into the den of the basilisk. They shall
not hurt, nor shall they kill in all my holy mountain, for
the earth is filled with the knowledge of the Lord, as the
covering waters the sea." (Isaias 11:6-9)
For behold
I create new heavens, and a new earth: and the former
things shall not be in remembrance, and they shall not come
upon the heart. But you shall be glad and rejoice forever
in these things, which I create: for behold I create
Jerusalem rejoicing, and the people thereof joy. And I will
rejoice in Jerusalem, and joy in my people, and the voice
of weeping shall no more be heard in her, nor the voice of
crying.
There shall no more be an infant of days
there, nor an old man that shall fill up his days: for the
child shall die a hundred years old, and the sinner being a
hundred years old shall be accursed. And they shall build
houses, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards,
and eat the fruit of them. They shall not build, and
another inhabit; they shall not plant, and another eat: for
as the days of a tree (1,000 years life span), so shall be
the days of my people, and the works of their hands shall
be of long continuance. My elect shall not labor in vain,
nor bring forth in trouble; for they are the seed of the
blessed of the Lord, and their posterity with them. And it
shall come to pass, that before they call, I will hear; as
they are yet speaking, I will hear." (Isaias
65:12-25)
In chapter 21 of the Book of
the Apocalypse, St. John gives a very descriptive account
of "the house of the Lord," which is called both:
"the City of God," and "the New Jerusalem." This is
the place where the resurrected Saints will live after they
come back to life.
"And I saw a new heaven and a
new earth. For the first heaven and the first earth was
gone, and the sea was no more. And I John saw the holy
city, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from
God, prepared as a bride adorned for the husband. And I
heard a great voice from the throne, saying: Behold the
tabernacle of God (the house of God) with men, and He will
dwell with them. And they shall be His people; and God
Himself with them shall be their God. And God shall wipe
away all tears from their eyes: and death shall be no more,
nor mourning, nor crying, nor sorrow shall be any more, for
the former things are passed away. And He that sat on the
throne, said: Behold, I make all things new....And the
nations shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the
earth shall bring their glory and honour into it, And the
gates thereof shall not be shut by day: for there shall be
no night there." (Apoc. 21:1-26)
These Saints
who Jesus will raise up in the last day will dwell in the
"house of the Lord," where they will be visited by
all the peoples and nations of the earth during the last
thousand year period of human history.
According to
Sacred Scripture, it will be during the era of peace when
the kings and peoples of every nation will go to see the
Saints and to ask of them to be "taught of God." "It is
written in the prophets: And they shall all be taught of
God." (John 6:45)
As a result, "nations will no
longer train for war," "men will beat their spears into
pruning hooks" and "their swords into plowshares." It will
be during this era of peace when there will be unity among
men, and man will live in the fear of God.
Moreover,
it will be during this era of peace when mankind wll
greatly prosper under the gentle and benevolent rule of the
Saints whom Jesus will raise in the last day for the
purpose of reigning over all the kings and nations of the
earth during the times of the Kingdom.
For the
sake of clarity, I would like to bring forward two messages
Our Lord has recently given to His people through John
Leary (a visionary) concerning this era of
peace:
(Sunday, October 6, 1996) "After
communion, I could see a tiangle representing the Trinity.
In the middle of the triangle I could see people moving to
a beautiful area. I could see children being carried. In
another scene I could see doors to tombs opening and the
dead were rising with their bodies. Jesus said: 'My people,
I wish to share with you in this vision of the era of
peace, and some descriptions of things then. This is an age
when all men will experience the time before Adam's sin on
a renewed earth. This will be a time when the aging process
will cease in your thirties. Older people will be
strengthened to look younger, and the children will mature
in their thirties. The animals and man will be in perfect
harmony, as you will all grow in perfection at that time.
You will be able to call on Me and I will answer you at any
time. You will be exposed to full knowledge of My universe.
You will live to an old age and many will live to the end
of this age. You will experience My love and peace, so you
will be as heaven on earth. You will see in this age how I
intended the world to be without the influence of evil.
When you are truly faced with the glory of My Creation, you
will choose to please Me in every facet of your life. Time
will continue, but there will be no wars, as you will love
your neighbor as you love Me. Only My faithful will be
brought back to life with glorified bodies. You will have
time to adore Me and serve Me every day. You will be giving
Me thanks continually that you have been graced to be
present in this age. This is a message of hope I am showing
you, so that My faithful, who have been purified, will
enjoy their reward in My splendor of My
Kingdom."
(Monday, October 7, 1996) "After
Communion, I could see a large mountain and a joy and peace
in a new land. Jesus said: 'My people, you are witnessig a
mountain-top experience when I come again in triumph to
defeat satan. After My triumph, I will usher in an era of
peace that has been promised even in My scriptures. I have
told you many wonderful things you will experience in this
time that will be free of evil. Do not doubt how My glory
will be carried out at this time, but rejoice in My love,
as you are brought closer to perfection before your entry
into heaven. Those who have died and are resurrected, will
have glorified bodies and will live to the end of this era.
Those, who are faithful and live through the tribulation,
will have their reward also in My era of peace. These will
have their bodies rejuvenated and will live long lives. It
is only some of these people who may see death before the
end of this era. Do not be concerned over the details of
how My will intends things. It is My keeping with scripture
and my promises that are more important."
One of
the principle qualities of life during the era of peace
will involve the interrelationship between those who live
on into the times of the Kingdom in mortal condition; and
those who com back to life during the times of the Kingdom
in glorified immortal bodies.
It will be those who
return to life in glorified immortal bodies who will teach
the ways of God to those of us who remain in mortal
condition. Also, those of us who remain in mortal condition
will continue to marry, raise children, plant vineyards and
build houses.
The greatest glory of the era of peace
will come to pass with the fulfillment of Our Lord's Prayer
to Our Heavenly Father.
It will be during the era of
peace when God's name will be hallowed on earth, when His
Kingdom will come on earth, and when His Will will be
done on earth as it is in heaven.
We have now arrived at the point
when all of God's plans for His Creation is now
accomplished. Everything has come full circle. Sin and evil
are no more. The broken relationship with the Divine Will
that our first parents caused has now been restored through
Our Divine Lord and His beloved Mother. But now, in this
era of peace, we must relearn that which was lost and
forgotten. Mainly the knowledge of The Divine Will. This is
what Adam and Eve had; but lost through sin.
Let us
now journey into the mind and heart of God, Who Is the
Divine Will, and learn a little of what's in store for
those who live during the era of peace. Jesus has already
begun to spread the knowledge of the Kingdom of the Divine
Will.
Let us hear what Our
Divine Savior has to tell
us:
