L. Ballaam's thought

Looking objectively at the work of Nostradamus.

Being a bit of a sceptic, it is quite easy to debunk the work as a hoax, but if one assumed that

Nostradamus' being fundamentally sincere, i.e., really believing he had foreseen future events and was writing of them as he saw them albeit in veiled terms.

But also that the man used every word play in the book including playing jokes on the reader.

now it would then be a matter of what he actually wrote and what he was trying to say.

Looking through the work there are Quatrains Presages two letters (Preface and Epistle) and maybe the Sixains.

The majority of the quatrains deal with disasters of various kinds.

The disasters include earthquakes, battles, wars, invasions, murders, plagues, floods, droughts and many other themes signs and wonders etc.

Some quatrains cover these in over all terms; others concern a single person as a profile or thumbnail or small group of persons.

Some cover a single town, others several towns in several countries. Though absolutely nothing in the USA well not entirely, being French and hence Euro centric.

The letters I believe form the core of the work, the first Preface giving an account of the Planet and it's end.

The second (The Epistle) being cunningly divided into 2 letters one being a letter to the king and other part a rather circuitous history of mankind and the players therein.

So the Story so far, for the sceptic the first Quatrain would have to be the most ubiquitous:

Perves his coming from the skies in the said year his destiny and his luck in matters military.

CXQ72 The year 1999, seventh month, From the sky will come a great debt payer King To bring back to life the great King of the Anglomois/ Mongols 1,

Before and after Mars to reign by good luck.

1 King of the Mongols = Ghengiz Khan

LXXII. L'an mil neuf cens nonante neuf sept mois, Du ciel viendra un grand Roi d'effraieur 1: Ressusciter le grand Roi d'Angolmois 2, Avant aprés Mars regner par bon-heur.

1 effraieur = OF: effrayeur debt payer/ terror forming an ambiguity on the word

2 Anglomois = house of Valois or an anagram Mongolois Mongols and yet another ambiguity, all in the one rhyme, though Mars can mean March as well.

Most folk see this an event for the Apocalypse, but if one looks at the rhyme it is one of those profile rhymes and concerns a persons life, that came to power from the skies in 1999, see also how and when April fool originated.

Now again this rhyme although only 28 words long it has a lot loaded into it, the first line has a date but not really a month, one assumes July, but assumption is not necessarily a good idea,

http://wilstar.com/holidays/aprilfool.htm

Also being one of two Quatrains with a numbered month, see Date of Preface

1st March 1555.

the second line the coming of a King (leader or of Royal blood) and how.

The third line is about reviving another king or another destiny, coincidentally this king has Mongol blood but also is an adversary of a French king.

The forth line again an overview of his life, always lucky in battle.

Here though is a passage from the Epistle about a debt paying man born during the WW2

30. And hereupon it is that there is born of a branch long sterile [Kahn despite 16 million descendants] one who will deliver the people of the world from this benevolent slavery to which they had voluntary submitted. [Third World Debt] He will put himself under the protection of Mars, [War] stripping Jupiter [the West] of all his honours and dignities, and establish himself in the free city in another scant Mesopotamia [Kashmir].


OK a few others all Profiles;

Saddam his rise to power his MO and his end:

C8Q70. He will enter, wicked, unpleasant, infamous, tyrannizing over Mesopotamia 9. All friends made by the adulterous lady, the *Head /land dreadful and black of aspect.

9 Mesopotamia = Iraq or Avignon Lyon

LXX. Il entrera vilain, mechant, infame Tyrannisant la Mesopotamie 7, Tous amis fait d'adulterine d'ame, Tertre horrible, noir de phisonomie.

7 Mesopotamie = between two rivers (Iraq)

Line one two and three Saddam returns from exile, takes power and his Modus operandi note play on the Whore of Babylon with the Lady, the Republic of France, giving Saddam’s cosy deals with, being at the time of his end France was the Iraq’s biggest customer, line four the word tertre being head/face and not land as most commentators call it, but really about his grim looks at his capture.

Usama his rise to Prominence and his invasion and Waterloo in Southern Spain and attack on Genoa

C5Q55. In the country of Arabia Felix 1, (or Fortunate Arabia) There will be born one powerful in the law of Mahomet: To vex Spain, to conquer Grenada, And more by sea against the Ligurian 2 people.

1 Arabia Felix = part of Arabia now divided between Yemen and the Aden Protectorate.

2 Ligurian = the Genoese

LV. De la Felice Arabie contrade 1, N'aitra puissant de loi Mahometique: Vexer l'Espagne, conquester 2 la Grenade, Et plus par mer à la gent Lygustique 3.

1 contrade = Provencal contrada, country.

2 conquester OF: conquester, to conquer, win.

3 Ligustique = Latin Ligusticus, Ligurian.

34. And a new incursion will be made by the maritime shores, wishing to deliver the Sierra Moreña from the first Mahometan recapture. Their assaults will not all be in vain, and the place which was once the abode of Abraham will be assaulted by persons who hold the Jovialists (The West) in veneration. And this city of "Achem" [Mecca] will be surrounded and assailed on all sides by a most powerful force of warriors. Their maritime forces will be weakened by the Westerners, and great desolation will fall upon this realm. Its greatest cities will be depopulated and those who enter will fall under the vengeance of the wrath of God.

35. The sepulchre, for long an object of such great veneration, will remain in the open, exposed to the sight of the heavens, the Sun and the Moon. The holy place will be converted into a stable for a herd large and small, and used for profane purposes. (The Vatican?) Oh, what a calamitous affliction will pregnant women bear at this time.

36. For hereupon the principal Eastern chief will be vanquished by the Northerners and Westerners, and most of his people, stirred up, will be put to death, overwhelmed or scattered. His children, offspring of many women, will be imprisoned. Then will be accomplished the prophecy of the Royal Prophet, Let him hear the groaning of the captives, that he might deliver the children of those doomed to die.

Gary's Theory

First Theory

As you know Nostradamus only wrote 42 quatrains in the Seventh Century and it has always been a mystery as to why he didn't complete it. Well I submit that Nostradamus did complete the Seventh Century and that the completion of the Seventh Century can be found in the Sixtains. Please allow me to explain this.

In the Letter to Cesar Nostradamus wrote "But being overtaken several times a week by (the spirit of) prophecy that lends a sweet odour to my nocturnal studies, I have by dint of long calculations composed books of prophecies each containing 100 prophetic astronomical quatrains which I have intentionally arranged a little obscurely."

If we examine the work we find that all the centuries (books of prophecies) except the Seventh Century do contain astronomical quatrains. The Seventh Century, with the exception of quatrain 2 line 1, which makes a breif reference to Mars which could hardly be considered astronomical, contains no astronomical quatrains. Thus, by Nostradamus' own words, the Seventh Century as it presently stands is false. The situation now is that where before we had an incomplete century, we now have a missing century.

Now Nostradamus,as part of his work wrote 58 sixtains. Since the sixtains do contain astronomical references I submit that the 58 sixtains make up the missing part of the seventh century. Nostradamus wrote that he intentionally arranged the work somewhat obscurely. Suppose he arranged the quatrains into sixtains. Allow me to explain.

Consider this. If we multiply the 58 sixtains by the 6 lines per sixtain, we obtain the total amount of work done, thus

58 sixtains x 6 lines per sixtain = 348 lines of work

Now if we divide the 348 lines of work by 4 lines per quatrain we obtain the equivalent amount of work in quatrains. Thus

348 lines divided by 4 lines per quatrain = 87 quatrains

We can now see how Nostradamus arranged 87 quatrains into 58 sixtains while maintaining the same amount of work.

Now if we subtract the 87 quatrains from the 100 quatrains there are in a century we obtain quatrain 13. Thus

100 quatrains - 87 quatrains = quatrain 13

Thus, from quatrain 1 to quatrain 13 is part of the seventh century and from quatrain 14 onwards is false.

Now having done the mathematics it's time to put the theory into practice. Let's consider the first quatrain to be eliminated by my theory.

CENTURY 7 QUATRAIN14

(He will) Come to expose the false topography
The urns of the monument will be opened
Sect and Holy philosophy to thrive
For white black and new for the old

Now that the subject matter is known line 1 is easy to understand. It says precisely what I have done, and that is, to expose the false topography, that is, the false seventh century. Rember we reached this quatrian by mathematics and logic alone.

I understand line 2 but prefer not to interpret it since it refers to Nostradamus' secret second works and I'm still working on it.

Line 3 also concerns Nostradamus' secret second works.

Line 4 refers to white blank pages of the seventh century to black printed pages. "New for old" obviously refers to a new seventh century for the old seventh century.

We can now say that the seventh century comprises of quatrain 1 to quatrain 13 and sixtain 1 to sixtain 58 makes up the complete seventh
century.

 Second Theory

Nostradamus' powers of prophecy have always been a subject of debate between sceptics and believers. The sceptics say that Nostradamus' prophecies can be made to fit just about any event. The believers, at the other extreme, often make outlandish interpretations of Nostradamus' prophecies. No quatrain has ever been "proven" beyond doubt and subsequently Nostradamus' powers as a prophet has never been "proven". Here we will prove, beyond doubt, that Nostradamus not only had the powers of a prophet but other powers as well.

Nostradamus had knowledge of 20th century topography and was able to use this knowledge to strike accurate navigational bearings, which would have been impossible in his time. I know it sounds outlandish to suggest that a man who lived in the 16th century could do this but nevertheless he could, he did and I can prove it. Let us first consider Century 2 Quatrain 96.

CENTURY 2 QUATRAIN 96

A blazing torch will be seen in the sky at night,
Not far from the end and source of the Rhone:
Famine, weapon: help provided too late,
Persia will turn and invade Macedonia.

Nostradamus would have known that it would not be possible to see a "blazing torch" simultaneously from the end and source of the Rhone River in France. However, with knowledge of 20th century topography he could intend line 2 to be a navigational bearing.
If we join the end and source of the Rhone River with a straight line and, since Nostradamus says that the "blazing torch" is not far from the end of the Rhone River, we extend that line to the south, we see that the line passes through Barcelona in Spain. (See map 1).
Now the quatrain makes sense. The "blazing torch" that Nostradamus was referring to, that "will be seen in the sky at night" was the Olympic flame of the Barcelona Olympics, which was held in 1992.

Line 3 is an accurate description of the crisis in Somalia, which was happening around the same time. During this crisis there was a severe famine in Somalia and the Somalian warlords used their military strength to dominate the Somalians and pillage the United Nations relief supplies.
The rest of the world would not intervene and it was not until tens of thousands had died that western military strength was sent in to restore order. Precisely as Nostradamus had predicted "help provided too late".

In line four Nostradamus predicts that Persia, now Iran, will turn and invade Macedonia. It seems impossible, with the USA, NATO and the United Nations acting as the world policeman and intervening to stop wars that this could happen.
But nevertheless given the accuracy of this quatrain, the accuracy of Nostradamus' prophecies in general and the clarity of the prophecy, I have no doubt that it will occur since Nosradamus speaks many times in his prophecies of a war between Islam and Christianity. This could be the beginning of such a war.

Now the fact that Nostradamus used the end and source of the Rhone River as a navigational bearing to indicate Barcelona could be dismissed as a coincidence if it happened just the once.
However, Nostradamus must have anticipated this because he does it more than once. Consider Century 1 Quatrain 71. This is even more spectacular than Century 2 Quatrain 96 just discussed.

CENTURY 1 QUATRAIN 71


The marine tower three times taken and retaken,
By Spanish, Barbarians, Ligurians,
Marseilles and Aix, Arles by the one of Pisa,
Devastation, fire, iron, pillage Avignon from
Thurins.

At first this quatrain does not make any sense and, until we use Nostradamus' knowledge of 20th century topography and his ability to use this knowledge to strike accurate navigational bearings, it doesn't.

In their order the names of the places given in France are Marseilles, Aix, Arles and Avignon. First we take a straight line from Marseilles to Aix-en-Provence. Next we take a straight line from Arles to Avignon. Since Arles was the first town mentioned, similarly to the "end of the Rhone" in Century 2 Quatrain 96, we will extend this line to the south. We see that this line passes almost directly through Oran on the North African coast in Algeria (See map 2). Next we take the bearing from Marseilles and Aix-en-Provence and we extend this bearing to the south since Marseilles was the first mentioned. This bearing takes us nowhere.

Now we consider the navigational bearing through Oran. What is so significant about Oran? Well, Oran is divided up into three main sections, La Blanca, La Ville Nouville and La Marine. La Marine is the area near the sea and it is in this area where the Santa Cruz Citadel overlooks the Mediterranean Sea. The Santa Cruz Citadel, built by the Turks, is the "marine tower" mentioned in line one of this quatrain.

Oran was founded in the 10th century AD by Andalusian merchants (Andalusia was a region in southern Spain) who established Oran as abase for trade with North Africa. The kingdom of Ilemcen (North Africans) took it in 1437. It was then taken by Spain in 1509 who held it for two centuries until it fell to the Turks (Barbarians) in 1708.
The city was retaken by Spain in 1732 but it was devastated by earthquake in 1790. It was abandoned and retaken by the Turks (Barbarians) in 1792 however; it suffered a serious state of decline and was occupied by France in 1831. The French developed Oran into a modern port and eventually established a navel station there.
France held it until Algerian independence in 1962 after which the North Africans retook it and the cycle was completed.

When Nostradamus mentions "Ligurians" in this quatrain he was not referring to Italians, he was in fact, referring to the North Africans. The North Africans, referred to by the Romans as "Ligures" occupied Liguria (on the coast of Italy at Geova) from Neolithic times. The Romans defeated them after a long struggle, in121BC.

Thus Nostrsadamus was absolutely correct. The marine tower (the  Santa Cruz Citadel and therefore Oran) was taken and retaken three times by Spanish, Barbarians (Turks) and Ligurains (North Africans). To detail this for clarity.

Oran founded by Andalusian merchants............10th century AD
Taken by Ligurains (North Africans).............1437
Taken by Spain....................1509
Taken by Barbarians (Turks)...............1708
Retaken by Spain....................1732
Retaken by Barbarians (Turks)..............1792
Retaken by Ligurains (North Africans)...........1962

In line three "Arles by the one of Pisa" refers to the Italians. In line four "Thurins" refers to the area of Thuringia in Germany. These two lines refer to the invasion of France by Germany in World War 2 when Italy was the allies of Germany.
Since I don't know the history of Arles and Avignon in World War 2 it would be interesting to know if the Italians did in fact occupy Arles and if the Germans occupied Avignon.

This quatrain can only be solved by using Nostradamus' knowledge of 20th century topography and his ability to use this knowledge to strike accurate navigational bearings.

What Nostradamus has done in these two quatrains is truly amazing because the maps required to strike these navigational bearings did not exist in Nostradamus' time. In fact maps of this accuracy were not produced until aerial surveys became a reality in the 20th century.

The maps in Nostradamus' time were primarily designed for nautical navigation and showed the coastal outlines of the continents that had been discovered at that time. In fact Gerardus Mercartor, who developed the projection to allow bearings to be plotted as straight lines, published his map of Europe in 1554.
Since Nostradamus' prophecies were published in 1555 the adds are that Century1 Quatrain 71 and Century 2 Quatrain96 were already written before Mercartors projection was published. In any event, Mercartor's map of Europe would not have shown the relationship between the end and source of the Rhone River and Barcelona or the relationship between Avignon and Arles and Oran because topographical surveys of France were not carried out until the 18th century.

Topographical surveys of France were organized by the French Academy, among others, and in 1748 the Carte Geometrique de la France comprising 182 sheets was authorized. Napoleon, an ardent map enthusiast, planned a great survey of Europe on a 1:100,000 scale which was well under way when he was overthrown.
In any event, even armed with topographical maps of France it would still be impossible to strike these accurate navigational bearings because the correct position of Barcelona and Oran with respect to topographical points in France was not known until the 20th century when aerial surveys became a reality.

World War 1, and to a much greater extent World War 2, brought much progress in mapping, particularly of the unmapped parts of the earth; an appraisal by the U.S. Air Force indicated that less than 10 per cent of the world in 1940 was mapped in sufficient detail for even the meagre requirements of pilot charts.
A major programme of aerial photography and reconnaissance mapping that became known as the trimetrogen method was developed. So, as I said earlier, it was not until the 20th century that maps of sufficient detail to allow these bearings to be struck was developed.

So how did Nostradamus, in the 16th century do the impossible? In the Letter to Cesar Nostradamus attributed his prophetic powers to God, thus the best I can suggest is that the only way Nostradamus could have performed this feat would be if he was divinely inspired by God. Thus Century 1 Quatrain 71 and Century 2 Quatrain 96 prove, beyond doubt, that Nostradamus had prophetic powers and prove that he had knowledge of 20th century topography and could use this knowledge to strike accurate navigational bearings.
Nostradamus uses the same method of using topographical points to strike navigational bearings to pin point the precise position of his secret second works. In fact, by using his bearings and descriptions he gives the position of his secret second works down to an area of three-square metres.

Prologue of a war

25th of March 1999

 
  But let's go ahead and see what Matteo discovered again: IRIS in mythology was messenger of the science of superior truth or wisdom of the gods.
Symbolizing the rainbow, she was the path between the Earth and the Heavens, between the gods and men, the rainbow makes perceptible.
Moreoever she was charged like Hermes (Mercury) to bring messages, orders and advices from the gods and particularly from Zeus (Jupiter).
In the Greek mythology Apollo (Sun), the god of Delphi, for his light and shiny character, was identi- fied with the Sun.
Iris the rainbow is messenger of Zeus (Jupiter), father of Apollo.
To make a conclusion: The date of March 1999 and precisely using astrology also, we have come to the date of Thursday.
The Sun (Apollo) joined with Jupiter (Zeus) in Aries means Glorification - Warning; Venus joined with Saturn in Taurus, means Desire of steadiness in patient wait of Chastisement (Saturn I remind you = Dead = Justice); The Moon in Cancer, means in its balanced house; Mars in Scorpio, means in Wait of Chastisement - Fighting.
Mercury (Iris) in Pisces: Sign of Cristos, means arrival of a message from God.
Uranus and Neptune in Acquarius, means Opening towards the future with elated and projected external events.
Pluto in Sagittarius, means search of Changes before the fall, search for a reforming force after the destruction, that is Pluto destroys and recreates.
Conclusion: God is about to send a messenger, Sign Iris, with desire of steadiness of Changes, in patient wait of Chastisement ! And from this research we have now published in part, we have come to ascertain a date already in February 1999.
We knew for certain that in the period from 19th March 1999 until 25th March 1999,
as shown above, something universally big for mankind should have happened, certainly not that it should inflame the fuse of a conflict of these proportions, also if ........ mah!
Maybe it is better that I stop here, otherwise they will give me to be a Cassandra, however something is brewing, and time is running off quickly, more quickly than ever.
Praying won't hurt you .
Let's remind this always.

This story originates from a particular not to be held of little account. In the prophecies of Don Bosco there is one that towards the end is not so clear anymore: There will happen another violent hurricane. The wickedness consumed, sin will have an end (and before two full-moons will pass in the month of flowers, the rainbow of peace will appear on the earth).
As you notice it concerns a paragraph that is not very correct and differently from all the prophetic texts of Don Bosco it is the only one less clear with a sentence enclosed in brackets.
Moreover if you read it in this way, it enters in total conflict with other prophecies, therefore either Don Bosco saw wrongly or who did the transcription created on purpose a little confusion, but had the good sense to put the sentence "changed" in brackets, maybe to alienate the Saint.
Of course what we are doing is a clear straining, therefore please consider this only as one of the many suppositions.
The correct paragraph according to Devis Dazzani sounds like this: " There will happen another violent hurricane before two moons will pass in the month of flowers.
The wickedness will be consumed, sin will end.
Then, the rainbow of peace will appear on the earth.
" At this point we can also make some calculations and ascertain a probable temporarily collocation of this event and with help of Matteo Ciuffreda who lends a hand in making the necessary calcula- tions we see that: Being in search of the two full-moons, described by Don Bosco in one of his dreams: 2nd May 1931 - 31st May 1931 2nd May 1969 - 31st May 1969 (doesn't interest us anymore) 2nd January 1999 - 31st January 1999 2nd March 1999 - 31st March 1999 Now we make the following preamble = Month of flowers = month of March.
So let's go in search of the years in which in the months of March are present two full-moons:

2nd March 1999 - 31st March 1999

2nd March 2018 - 31st March 2018

2nd March 2037 - 31st March 2037

The Second Coming of the Lord

The Second Coming of the Lord

Confirmed by the Holy Scriptures, by the Saints and by

the messages from modern charismatics.

Edited by Cristina Di Filippo.

The Holy Scriptures : we are at the dawn of the new Age of the Holy Spirit and we don't have to be amazed of the sensational private revelations that are spread all over the world. And it is exactly for one of these revelations that we want to talk to you to examine it carefully in order to submit it to the attention of everybody, because it is of great importance.
Yes, it concerns the Second Coming of Christ on Earth. Let us meditate the Holy Scriptures with scrupulous attention and we will find the flourishing of announcements of this kind:

Open the doors to the King of Glory;
The Ruler of the earth is about to come;
He will appease struggles, He will restore justice on earth
and a lot, lot more of expressions that clarify and state this second "Return on earth".


THE SECOND COMING.

As He promised, Jesus Christ will come back on earth to rule and judge all the nations of the Kingdom of God. His second coming will be fulfilled in power and glory, and will be visible to everyone. This event will initiate resurrection of the dead and reward of the righteous (John 14:3; Rev. 17:14; Acts 1:11; Rev. 1:7; Matt. 24:38; 1 Tess. 4:15/17).
Oh, our beloved Redeemer, hasn't He presented Himself in humbleness, in poverty and paid for our sins with an ignominious death, destined to the worst criminals ?

So, to whom many prophecies of the past refer to ?


It is clear that there has to be another coming. Which one ?

Maybe it concerns the one of the end of the world, on the day of Universal Judgement, when also the dead will rise again to have major joy or major pains according to one's own rewards or shortcomings ?


No, it cannot be and that is very simple to understand, because the Gospel of St. Matthew denies it clearly, because is written:
"Then there shall be two men in the field; one will be taken, and one will be left. Two women will be grinding at the mill; one will be taken and one will be left (Matt. 24:40/41). So it has not to deal with the third final coming of the Lord, but with an intermediate, that will sign a very important moment for whole mankind which has to submit itself to Judgement that will certainly determine its future life in joy or in pains (see Garabandal: The Warning).
Yes, because who has sown in tears, will reap, and who generated evil with hate, grudge, revenge, will make serious amends for these, because God, this time, comes as Judge and not as a Victim of Love; so who does not want to accept Him as such, will have to sustain Him as Avenger now. Love offers, sacrifies and immolates itself, but who rejects Love can and has to join God with pain and repentance. This is exactly the moment we have come to, brethren. There is no time anymore, Jesus is coming. Let us convert and quickly because in a short time the hour will go off and time will be over.
Pray intensively the Holy Virgin who at Medjugorje operated marvellous things and for the unlimited generosity of few, obtained a lot from God.
The chastisement announced (by many charismatics), that three quarters of the earth will have been destructed inexorably, has been annulled but still remains firm chastisement announced for the followers of Satan. These will perish and will have to perish in a terrible way, unfortunately for them. Many have been the crimes they have casted in the world, causing great pains for the dearest children of Jesus and it is not time to say mercy, because mercy will not be anymore.
It is not up to us to judge, it is up to us to pray and to put everything in the hands of the Immaculate Mother Mary, because She only can obtain, in case, salvation for them. Therefore, let us pray that the Holy Will of God shall fully come to pass, without denying Him anything, because He is the Ruler of the Universe, by Him everything has been created and His Law has been given to us to be observed..

Behaviour of the Church regarding the Second Coming: let us not be upset if the Church does not teach and promote this Truth. Important is that it has been announced in the Holy Scriptures to which we will have to adhere to. (See Rev. 1:7; Matt. 24:30/31 and 37/41; Luke 17:34/35 and 21:27/28). Not all that is written in the Holy Scriptures has been brought out and taught as principle of faith of the Church.
We had to come to the year of 1858 with Pope Pius IX to obtain acknowledgement and announcement of the dogma of the Immaculate Conception of Mary and to the year of 1950 to obtain announcement of the dogma of the Assumption of Mary in Heaven in body and soul, with Pope Pius XII. These Truths were shaded in the Holy Scriptures and were brought out. Evidently the Church studies at length the Holy Scriptures and through Pontiffs particularly enlightened by the Holy Spirit comes to announce these principles of faith all Christians have to believe in, under pain of sin of heresy and of course be excluded from the Catholic Church. Well, then you have to recognize that on the contrary certain truths (as The Second Coming), announced in the Holy Scriptures has been, let us say, put aside, not for the lack of influential minds that might sound and put these perfectly to the attention of all believers, but let us say so, for the form of elementary care not to frighten many; because the world is made of many persons and there are the strong ones, but also the weak who have to be "protected".
And this is the principle the Church is keeping, like a provident Mother, who does not want to retreat the Announcement of the Truth, but she restricts herself to what is fundamental for the salvation of man and that facilitates more the path of man in achieving Christian virtues.
That's why they don't talk about the forthcoming Second Coming, well known to many theologians, that appears rather shocking for the chastisements it brings, also if there might be marvellous things that shall accompany this Coming and triumph of the righteous. Now the time has come, however, and we need to talk, because times are expiring and it is good that people "grows", matures quickly and accepts and agrees if it will not find itself unprepared and lost. And if it is true that the Church is like a Mother who wants to protect her children from anxiety one can avoid, by now, as a Mother, she has to recognize that danger has to be shown and right instructions has to be given.

Here we have all elements: the scriptural proofs, the writings of the saints and agreement of the numerous messages of modern charismatics, and this courageous stand, we hope, the Holy Mother Church will take as soon as possible. Luke 21:27 "And then they will see The Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory ..... Matt. 24:30 "And they will see The Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky ......

The witnesses of the Saints: From the book "Crucifies with the Crucified" by G: Roschini we have Teresa Musco, stigmatized, died in concept of great holiness in 1976, in the message of 28th May 1951 of The Holy Virgin Mary, prophecied: "All will see My Son coming on the clouds and then He will judge all those who have trampled His Innocent and Divine Blood.
Sister Elena Aiello: 16.4.1895/19.6.1961, has been the founder of the Minim Tertiary of Passion, she is also a stigmatized and lived a holy life, received many messages. Here is what she prophecied in 1961: " .....And then on a cloud Jesus Christ Himself will come and will be seen by everyone. (from "The Holy Nun" by P. Spadafora).
The enlightened Saint Grignon of Monfort in his "treatise of the real devotion to Mary", says that: "Through the Holy Virgin Mary, Jesus Christ came into the world: it is also through her that He will reign the world, so it is certain, that knowledge and the Kingdom of Jesus Christ have to be realized in the world and it will consequently be necessary that knowledge and reign of the Holy Virgin, who gave birth the first time, will shine the second time as well." Saint Thomas of Aquino confirms that "Final Judgement will be on the Third Coming of Jesus; therefore supposes a second coming.
Saint Bernard in the "Sermo III in Adventium Domini" expresses himself in this way: "We will experience a third Coming of the Lord". Pope Paul VI of blessed memory (for whom recently has been proposed the process of Beatification) said during the Angelus of 5th December 1976: " .....We exhort you as well, dear children, to seek for those "signs of times", which seem to precede a new Coming of Christ among us". Maria Valtorta, who died in 1961 in concept of holiness in "The Copybooks of 1943", writes at page 506: "Famine and death will be one of the harbingers of My Second Coming ........
page 510-511 "But you who obied in Me, listen to the promise of Christ. Wait for me with faithfullness and love and I will come unto you with all my gifts. With the gift of Gifts: Myself. I will come to redeem and to heal.
I will come to enlighten, defeat and dispel darkness. I will come to teach men to love and adore The Eternal God, The Most High, The Holy Christ, The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit. I will come and bring you not the peace of this world - neverending destroyer of peace - but the Peace of the Kingdom that will never die. Rejoice, oh my faithful servants. This says you the mouth that does not lie. You will not have to fear evil anymore, because I will put an end to the time of evil and will anticipate this end for the mercy of My blessed ones. Rejoice, above all, oh you, my beloved ones of this hour. More pressing will be for you the Coming of Christ and His glorious Embrace. For you the gates of the City of God will already be open and your Saviour will come out to meet you and give you Real Life. Only a short time and I shall come for you.
As for Lazarus, my friend, I will call you one by one: "Come out". Out of this earthly life which is the tomb of the Spirit, imprisoned by the flesh. Come out. To the life and freedom of Heaven. Call upon Me with your faithful love. It might be the flame that melts the chains of the flesh and gives the spirit freedom to come unto Me very soon. Let hear the most beautiful cry written by man: "Come oh Lord Jesus".
Nun Faustina Kowalska, who died in concept of holiness and beatified by John Paul II, in the book "The apparitions of Jesus Merciful to nun Faustina" refers: "It is up to Me to prepare the world for My Second Coming. This is a sign of the end-times. After these the day of justice will rise. Out of Poland the sparkle that prepares the world to My Second Coming will come (Message of 1973). The messages of modern charismatics. Many are the messages we received from charismatics spread all over the world that concern the forthcoming Second Coming of Christ on earth. Certainly not all are known as they have to be, for the prohibition of spiritual guides, for the fear of contrasting the Ecclesiastic Hierarchy and also the cultural religious lack of preparation of certain instruments, though called by God to serve in this all particular way.
But there are some, particularly clear and specific we would like to mention.
These are things you cannot take with less consideration, but you need the maximum of respect, attention and boldness of the strong to agree because: IT IS GOD WHO COMES ! So let us encourage ourselves though with blessed hope and examine these texts which will make us fervently grow in love and prepare us in holiness and give consolation to the afflicted hearts and the injustly persecuted.
Behave yourselves wisely, brethren, and do not waver because if Jesus comes, He comes to bring order, justice, peace in a world in which there is not anymore order, justice and peace. Guilts will be cleansed and tremendous chastisements are already upon the heads of the followers of Satan, while wonderful gifts will be bestowed to those who did support in peace their cross, forgiving their own persecutors and bringing good on earth. The fulness of God's grace which is in Mary the Holy Virgin, will be of considerable help in those solumn moments when it seems that Heaven and Earth tremble and many prayers pronounced by the good ones will relieve pain and fear that will run over all, that means really all because nobody is perfect and the Justice of God is unequivocal.
Guilts will be cleansed, praiseworthy deeds will be rewarded. It is Jesus who says you, dear brethren: "Wake up, Your Saviour is coming. He likes to come and free those He has redeemed with His Blood and who have been faithful to His Holy Alliance, to the Great Covenant on Golgotha". Nothing else to be said, only: "Convert yourselves and quickly because there is no time anymore. Make amends without waisting one minute, because the hour is grievous and the Holy Hour of God is to begin".
Have faith in the Holy Virgin and say thanks for this writing that reaches you as a gift from God. You will improve your situation if you believe and you will worsen it if you do not believe. The confirmations of the current charismatics: Our Lady appears all over the world and notwith- standing the indifference "wanted" by the press and by other means of communication, news of ap- paritions in all five continents leak out.
To tell the Truth the witnesses gathered aren't many, but sufficient to demonstrate an agreement between different people operating in most desperate places. Miriana, one of the seers of Medjugorje speaks of: ".......a misterious return of Christ".

(from Medjugorje 15th February, 1987, p. 38)
Mary, another seer of Medjugorje confirms: " ......All the apparitions we had of Our Lady are a preparation to the Coming of Jesus (from "The Echo of Medjugorje" of 12th February 1987). As to all the actual apparitions at Kibheo in Ruanda, Africa, Alphonsine the seer, did quote: "You will recognize the moment of My return when you will see break out religious-wars. When you will see this happen, know that I'm about to come. Nothing can stop these wars". Message of Saint Thomas of Aquino to G.C. (from Lazio) of 28th of August, 1987e will return!....
He can do everything! Let His voice pierces each ear! His Aspect will also be seen by the eyes of the blind!...Message of the same saint to G.C. of 3rd of September 1987: "He will come in His Glory and the astounded, admired, upsetted men will bound their knees before His presence! And He will come in His Glory. He shall come as a light and shall show His shining Aspect as God-Man". On the 24th of December 1978, Our Lady dictated these words to S.G. (from Lombardia): "Like the first so shall be His second Coming, dear children; like His birth in that night, will be the return of Jesus in Glory, before His final Coming for the Final Judgement, of which the hour though is still hidden in the secrets of the Father.
The world shall find itself wrapped by the darkness of the denial of God, by its stubborn rejection, by the rebellion against His Law of Love.
The ice of hatred shall make the streets of the world even more deserted. So hardly anybody will be ready to receive Him. Not even the great ones shall remember Him, the rich shall close Him their doors, while His ones shall be very busy in searching and asserting themselves. When The Son of Man shall come, He will still find faith on earth ?

He shall come unexpectedly and the world will not be ready at His Coming. He will come for Judgement and man will find himself unprepared.
He shall come to restore His Kingdom in the world, after having defeated and destroyed His enemies.
Also in this Second Coming The Son shall come to you by way of His Mother.
Like the Word of His Father did serve Himself by My Virginality to reach you, Jesus will serve My Immaculate Heart to come and reign among you. This is the hour of My Immaculate Heart because it is preparing the Coming of the Glorious Kingdom of Love of Jesus. My dearest children, like Myself do prepare yourselves to receive Him! This Holy Night is for you a sign and a grace. I gather you besides His humble craddle to fill up the big void mankind caused Him; I hold you in My Immaculate Heart to prepare you to receive Jesus who is coming to reach you in the splendour of His Glorious Kingdom.
Message of 5th of May 1972 to F.. from Lombardia on the consequence of objections raised up by a theologian: "Why not believe in My Coming as the end of the world?

I cannot come triumphant on heavenly clouds upon the earth that still hates me. That is why I have to come earlier to prepare my dearest into a world of Love. I shall come with the Paraclete....." Message of 1st December 1977 of our Lord Jesus to the priest Mons. Ottavio Michelino who died in 1979: " ...I am Jesus, I'll take up the talking left open and on the contrary not closed at all as to My Church; I've put her in the world, in the midst of the world because Her mission is addressed to all people and nations of the earth, she has been established by the Godly Will, master and guide of all men; this is the place she belongs to, this is the place which shall be recognized her after purification. Her duty is undescribable in this intermediate time between the first Coming of Christ on earth with its mistery of Incarnation and the Second Coming, at the end of times, to judge the living and the dead; from these two comings the first one shall reveal the Mercy of God, the second one, the Justice of Christ, real God and real Man, like a priest, King and Universal Judge.
The intermediate coming shall be the Kingdom of Jesus in the souls, Kingdom of Peace, Kingdom of Justice, that shall have its full and bright splendour after purification". (from "Confidences of Jesus to a Priest, vol. "The measure is overflowing...", pages 12-13). Message of 5th March, 1986 of D (from Umbria): "...My Coming is near ...:"
Message of 28th of January 1986 received by the same person: "...very soon I shall come down on earth for the second time ".

The seer Rosario of Bel Passo (Catania) referred what Our Lady said to him on 1st of February 1988: "...:God, in His Infinite Mercy, wanted to entrust me with this task: announce to the world His imminent Coming". M.R. (of Puglie) referred: " We have to prepare ourselves because the Second Coming of the Lord is very near though, times are almost to mature". The seer A (of Lazio) repeats what the Lord revealed her: "Pray fervently and humbly because God shall come soon".

Message received from M.R. (of Lazio) on the 4th of August 1984: ".....Be ready and prepare yourselves for My Coming that shall be powerful and wonderful for My elected ones...Courage, because the hour is near though ...." That's My Mother to preceed Me ....She is the Star that announces the morning, She is among you on earth and prepares you. ...Do follow the Star like the Three Kings did, arriving from different places and from a far to adore the One and Only King. This is the moment for Mary The Virgin to come and prepare the hearts, to gather you, to encourage you, to give refreshment, to feed you with My Word and announce you My return....I'm near...I look at you and I am about to come with undescribable power and for those who are waiting for me, it shall be such a joy, greater than man can ever sustain: to see My Glory. But I shall back you up unless you shall not die, because this joy shall be so great that it shall be unsustainable for the heart of man..... You will see me on the heavenly clouds with great splendour, but for those who don't expect me, for those who don't love me, for those who don't convert themselves, it shall be unsupportable: they will die !"
Message received by the same person on the 25th of October 1984: "....I Your God shall not permit that the design of the Evil One, that is to substitute the generation of the children of God by a generation of children of evil, will be realized. I have created you, redeemed you, saved you and will save you! But how shall I save you, oh children, if you don't feel the Love of Your God anymore ?

I shall return! Shall I still find Love in the hearts of my faithful, the afflicted and suffering ones, the righteous, the minors, the hidden ones and of those who offered themselves like hosts of peace and love for their brethren all over the world ?

" Message o A.S. (from Lazio) of 24th October 1984: "..Behold, behold there comes Our Saviour Jesus. Behold, He is breaking through the clouds and appears. Behold for He comes again. He is coming. He comes to judge the earth !
The Lord speaks: " I have counted the days and I shall count them again, but only for a short while. Not everyone does understand the seriousness of these times we are living. And this message is above all for them. Give it to everybody. Throw it around by handfuls and allow the little ones and the afflicted your consolation."
Message received by the same person on the 27th of July, 1985: 2 Don't worry my faithful, simple, good and humble ones, dearest to the Heart of Jesus, who have searched in life to sow only love, to bring peace, oh simple and humble hearts, lovers of the Truth, behold because He is coming, He is coming to save you....He is Love, He is Life, He is the Truth, He is the lofty Joy, behold, behold for the Bridegroom is coming, He comes to reward His faithful.....".

Madeleine the seer at Dozulé, in France on the 21st apparition confirmed: Jesus says to all His disciples: "Make this message know, the big Tribulation is near. The return of the Son of Man has been announced!.
Conclusion: "The Second Coming of Christ, the "Parousia", unfortunately though, shall be preceeded by big destructive events, big events and signs on Earth and in Heaven. We are not going towards the end of the world meant to be the definite end of the whole world, but we are to abandon an ancient age, an ancient way to be.
With the Second Coming of Christ, we go towards the birth of a new world, but above all of a new man. The message the Gospels contain regarding The Second Coming of Christ, is positive, notwithstanding its painful labour from the Old World to the New Age, that brings us to show in all its heights our real being, that Spiritual one, as when God created us". The Pope's words with particular reference to these times. Speeches of His Holiness Pope John Paul II, that seem to refer to a renewal of the world. Words pronounced during The Angelus:
" Dear young ones, I give you appointment for the next Universal Day of Youth in Rome, during the summer of the year 2000. I am sure that you will come in a big number to this extraordinary meeting. During the Great Jubilee of 2000 we shall live together an experience of spiritual communion that will certainly mark your lives. Who shall live, shall see. John Paul II (at Fulda in Germany in 1981), answers to the questions of a group of persons: " What is the third Secret of Fatima ?

This had to be published already in 1960. "Considering the seriousness of the contents of the secret of FATIMA and for not encouraging the worldly power of communism in making certain actions (interferences), my predecessors on Saint Peter's Chair did prefer diplomatically to put off its publication (they preferred a diplomatic relationship).
On the other hand it might be sufficient for all Christians to know that if there is a message which said that the oceans will flood whole parts of the world, and millions of men shall perish from one minute to another, it really is not time anymore to desire publication of this secret message."
How will things go on with the Church ?

" We have to prepare ourselves to suffer, within not distant times big trials will call for us to be ready to give our lives too in complete abandon of ourselves to Christ and for Christ. By means of your and my prayers it will be possible to soften this Tribulation, but it will not be possible to remove it anymore, because only in this way, the Church may be renewed. How often the renewal of the Church has been realized with bloodshed ?

This time too it will not be different! We have to keep strong, we have to be prepared, have faith in Christ and in His Holy Mother and be devoted in saying the Rosary."
Before the devastation that will shake here and there the various continents before the pursuing rhytm of the overthrow of things and values that undermine certainties and even life of nations, I make mine the hope of Saint Augustin, before the assault of the vandals on the city of Ippona, when a group of alerted Christians of his church was looking for him: "Don't be frightened, dear ones! - the holy bishop assured them - " this isn't the ancient world that will have an end, it is a new world that begins".
A new dawn seems to rise in the heaven of history, inviting Christians to be the light and salt of a world that is in big need of Christ, Redemptor of man". (Lisbon 10.5.1991 - Roman Observer 12.5.1991) From the "deep supernatural appeals" coming from Fatima in 1917 "many things shall change the european and wordly survey and numerous events will be realized in this century, especially during the final years." (Fatima 13.5.1991 - Avvenire 14.5.1991). At Fatima on the 13th of May 1982: " Before us stands the danger of apostasy from God, the struggle against God and against all that is sacred and godlike. Maybe we are near to the time predicted by Saint Paul, the time of the Antichrist, raising himself against God and against each kind of religion. It is time though in which also the Holy Spirit alerts the whole Church through Our Lady". "Mary particularly united to Christ in His First Coming, for Her continuous collaboration with Him, shall also be united awaiting the Second....She also has this typical part, like a Mother does, to be mediatress of mercifulness on His definite Coming....." (Redemptor Mater, 41).
In different occasions: "Emmanuel, God with us, the Eucharist is the sacramental witness of your First Coming; it is a constant forewarning of Your Second Coming and the sign of Your Definite Coming". "The Church which desires even to be Mother, talks to you, Oh Mother of Christ, Oh Immaculate Mother of the suffering and hope of men and nations. From the deep of the second Advent, which is in course after the First Coming of Christ, the Church cries out to you: "Good Mother of the Redemptor..... come and help the people that falls and even longs for resur- rection! Door of Heaven! Be to us the door of the Advent of God. The door of salvation! Amen". (Avvenire 9.12.1988).
A new dawn seems to rise in the heaven of history, from Cova of Iria it seems to spread around a comforting light, full of hope that illuminates the facts which characterize the end of this second Millenium (Pro Deo et Fratibus - 1/1993). The prophecy of Jesus written in Cap. 24 of St. Matthew is about to come true. This Gospel of the Kingdom shall be announced all over the world, because it shall be witnessed to all people." The Pope interrupted the phrase, but the Gospel concludes: "And then the end shall come". (28.8.1988).
In Canada, at Edmonton before thousand of people: "The God of peace be with us, here in Canada and everywhere. May justice and peace embrace one another again one more time at the end of the Second Millenium that prepares us to the Coming of Christ in Glory. Amen". Denver, universal day of Youth - 15th of August 1993: "Our pilgrimage ..... have to continue as "a new Advent", a moment of hope and waiting, until the return of the Lord in Glory:" "The world at the drawing near of a new Millenium for which the whole Church is preparing herself, is like a field ready to be reaped". "Maranatha ! Here from Cherry Creek State Park at Denver, in this reunion of young ones coming from all over the world, we shout: Maranatha! Do come Lord Jesus". (19.8.1993).
From the book of John Paul II "To cross the treshold of hope" : "And here comes the 13th of May 1981. When I was hit by the bullet from the assailant in Saint Peter's Place, I did not realize at the beginning the fact that that exact day was the anniversary of the day on which Mary appeared to the three children at Fatima, in Portugal, addressing them those words, that at the end of this century, seem to get near fulfilment". With the solemnity of the encyclicals: "On this background so characteristic for our time, we have to underline the "desires of the Spirit" in preparing the great jubilee, as a recall that sounds during the night of a new time of Advent, at the end of which - like 2000 years ago - each man will see the Salvation of God." (Dominum et vivificantem, 56)
"Also peace is fruit of love: interior peace that wearied man is searching for in the heart of his being; that peace needed by mankind, by human family, by people, by nations, by continents, with an anxious hope to obtain in the outlook of the passage from the Second to the Third Christian Millenium." (Dominum et vivificantem, 67)
".....most precious fruit .... from part of faithful laity is listen to the call of Christ to work in His vineyard, to take an active, conscious and responsable part to the mission of the Church in this magnificent and drammatic hour of history, with the imminence of the third Millenium." (Christifideles laici, 3)
Speech at Turin for the day of Ascension in 1997:

" ... now the task passes on to us pilgrims, still on our way on earth. After the Ascension of Jesus two angels ask the Apostles: Why are you looking at Heaven?

This Jesus who ascended in Heaven, one day shall return. The question has also been addressed to us. We are now in the time of active and alert waiting for the Glorious return of Christ; our spirit animated by active hope, rejoices and invokes: Come, Lord Jesus! And the answer given in the book of Revelations, fill up our hearts with joy like the hearts of each believer is filled up with joy: Yes, I shall come quickly". To the participants of the VIII International Meeting of Catholic Brotherhood (30th May until 2nd June 1998):

"At the nearing of the new Millenium, the Church hears the call, the urgent appeal of the Master for an even bigger commitment to the mission: "the wheat is mature, time of harvest has come (Marc 4:29).

General audience of Wednesday 19th August 1998: "This deep personal and communitary renewal awaited for in the "fullness of time" and realized by the Holy Spirit will involve, somehow, the whole universe... Creation, enlivened by the presence of the Creator's Spirit, has been called to become "the dwelling of peace" for the entire human family.".
On the 50th anniversary for the end of World War II: "What to do so that the nations of Europe and of the whole wide world live in peace at the end of the twentieth century and build a bridge of peace towards the centuries and the generations of the third Millenium ?

What to do to extinguish the hot-beds of war present, unfortunately, in the Balkans, Kaukasus, Ruanda and in other parts of the earth ?

Christ answers with the words of today's Gospel according to St. John: "The day before His Passion, He announced to the Apostles during The Last Supper the coming of the Holy Spirit: "When the Spirit of Truth shall come, he shall guide you to the whole entire Truth, because he will not talk about himself, but will say all that he'll have heard and shall announce you future things".
From the speech in St. Peter's Place for the celebration of the Immaculate, 8th of December, 1997: "Mankind who hastens itself to enter in the third Millenium finds i the Immaculate its pattern of waiting and hope. She teaches us to refuge from fatalism and passive resignation, as well as from any millenarianist temptation. She teaches us to look at the future knowing that God is coming towards us; we have been called to prepare ourselves for this meeting in prayer and in alert waiting". From the prayer of the Holy Father John Paul II for the second year of preparation for the Great Jubilee of 2000: "Come Creator's Spirit, mysterious author of the Kingdom, with the power of your Holy Gifts, guide your Church to cross with courage the treshold of the new Millenium to bring to all generations that will come, the light of the Word that saves. Spirit of Holiness, divine breath that moves the universe, come and renew the facet of the earth".

Notes on prophecies, apparitions and charismatic messages in relationship with the current events. Seers and charismatics, even if they are authentic and in good faith, they aren't infallible; therefore it's essential to examine their statements in the unfailing light of the Scriptures and teachings of the Church. In that way one can "take what is good" and reject what is contrasting the normal christian virtue of prudence.
Where a definite judgement of the Magister is lacking, questions remain open, but it is useful to take account of the tradition and of the opinion of mystics and Fathers of the Church, where it has been expressed so.
Also the christian people does have its own "sensus fidei" and "cannot be mistaken in its belief, and reveals this capacity through the supernatural sense of faith of the whole Christian people, when from the bishops down to the lowest lay-believers, it shows its universal agreement in questions of faith or morality".(Lumen Gentium, 12). Besides the current clamorous oppositions from the local bishop, do exist charismatic phenomenons and messages from Our Lady which are well accepted by bishops, priests and a great number of believers. It is interesting to note that in certain well-accepted situations, Our Lady normally gives the same admonishments and messages on the future, that she reveals where supernatural phenomenons are being rejected.
Very often the argument that certain apparitions have not been recognized by the Church is for someone an excuse to have not interest at all in such. In that case it is not useful to oppose valid demonstrations because good will lacks to receive new things the Holy Spirit wants to reveal: infact each authentic prophecy is His gift and a new light to comprehend better and actualise the one and only unchangeable Revelation. Others, although not hostile, do forget the wellknown evangelic warning of new wine and old leather wineskins.
On the other hand the messages, ordinarily speaking, one can understand if you live them deeply and taking that spiritual way they invite you in. If a person starts that way of conversion, prayer, rejecting evil even if slightly, opening to supernatural, he also begins to understand the mysterious design that Heaven is tracking through his numerous interventions in each part of the world. The central point is this: Jesus, Our Lady and sometimes the angels, do show themselves today with frequency and in extraordinary ways and repeat to all substantly the same identic concept (it could be neither different because their worries and their pressing invitation for salvation corrispond to one and only design).
Each supernatural message, besides being always an appeal to conversion, emphasizes at the same time the projects of God and have to be seen like a tessera of a big mosaic that is being outlined. The contropositions and the "parochialism of apparitions" are absurd. Like in each mosaic there are big and small tesseras, of different importance, beauties and colours, many do still lack and therefore it is not possible to understand exactly the final scene. But in great lines from now on it is possible to see in rough cast something of God's project. And as the tesseras grow - sometimes also a small one is important - our comprehension grows higher too: therefore The Father loves to reveal the secrets of His Kingdom to the little ones and gives His children the signs implicitly promised (cfr. Matt. 24:32/33).

It is true that Jesus shall come like a thief, but only for those who don't expect Him ! The apostle infact confirms: "You, brethren, don't live in darkness, because that day will surprise you like a thief, you are all children of the light .... (I Tess. 5:1/4). And it really is a big light that is reaching today's men through the extraordianry events from Heaven, most of all with the apparitions and messages of Our Lady, throughout the world. Message of Urbi et Orbi, Easter 1998 (12th April 1998).
1) "You know what happened to Jesus of Nazareth .....we are witnesses of all that He fulfilled in Region of Judah and in Jerusalemme" (cfr. Acts 10:37/39). These are the words that the Apostle Peter witness of the resurrection of Christ, directed to Cornelius, the Centurion and his family. Today the witnesses talk.
The eye witnesses present at the events of the Holy Friday talk, those who were frightened before the Sanhedrin, those who on the third day found the empty tomb. Witnesses of resurrection were first of all the women of Jerusalem and Mary of Magdala; first of all Peter and John, than all the others.
Witness was also Saulus of Tarso, converted at the gates of Damascus, later on they were the Apostles, informed by the women; to whom Christ allowed to live through the power of His resurrection, to become though the elected vessel of the missionary outburst of the primitive Church. 2) Yes, in this very day the witnesses begin to speak: not only the first ones, those eye-witnesses, but also those who learned from them the Easter-message and bore witness to the crucified and risen Christ, from generation in generation.

Some have been witnesses until the outpouring of blood and , with thanks to them, the Church continued to walk also among hard persecutions and obstinate rejections. On this unending witness the Church has been grown and now is spread throughout the earth. Today it is the celebration of all witnesses, also those of our century, who announced Christ in the midst of "great Tribulation" (Rev. 7:14), confessing His death and resurrection, in the concentration-camps and gulag, under threat of bombs and guns, in the middle of terror roused by blind hatred, that painfully had involved single persons and whole nations. Today they come out of the great Tribulation and sing the Glory of Christ: in Him, risen from darkness of death, life has been revealed.
3) Today, we also are witnesses of the risen Christ and we renew His announcement of peace to all mankind that walks towards the third Millenium. We witness His death and His resurrection, especially to men of our time, involved in brotherly fights and slaughters, that reopens the wounds of etnic rivalry, and, at this time in various regions of all Continents, especially in Africa and Europe, deposit on earth the seed of death and new conflicts for a sad tomorrow.
This announcement of peace is for how many go along calvary that seems without an end, frustrated in their yearnings to the respect of dignity and rights of man of justice, of work at the most reasonable conditions of existence. To this announcement the responsables of the nations and each man of good will inspire themselves, especially in the Middle-East and particularly at Jerusalem, where peace has been risked from dangerous political options.
It gives courage to whom believed and believes in the dialogue to risolve national and International tensions; infuse in the heart of all the fearlessness of hope that rises from the acknowledged and respected truth, so that they reveal in the world new and promising horizons of solidarity. Christ, died and risen for us, You are the foundation of our hope ! We want to make ours the witness of Peter and of those many brethren and sisters along the centuries, to repropose at the treshold of the new Millenium. It is true: " The stone that the builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone." (Psalm 117 (118):22)..

On this foundation the Church of the Living God has been edified The Church of the risen Christ.
In Today's liturgy this Church sings an old hymn, always new although. With words full of transport it announces the victory from life upon death: "Mors et Vita duello conflixere mirando …"Life and death met in a prodigious duel" The Lord of life was dead, but now, alive, He is triumphant.
And as if it has happened hardly yesterday, the Church addresses to Mary of Magdala, who at first met the risen Lord: "Dic nobis, Maria, quid vidisti in via ?

" "Tell us, Mary, who did you see on the way ?

" The tomb of the living Christ, the Glory of the risen Christ, and the angels, His witnesses, the shroud and His garments. Christ, my Hope, is risen: and He will preceed you in Galilee".
5) Today, You, the Risen, want to meet us, in all places of the earth, the way you met yesterday your Apostles in Galilee. In virtue of this meeting we can also repeat: "Scmus Christum surrexisse a mortuis vere: tu nobis, victor Rex, miserere". Yes, we are sure: Christ is really risen. You, victorious King, bring us your salvation".

The third world war

The third world war

 

By Leonardo Belvedere

   From the epistle to King Henry the second:
Towards Persia very nearly a million men, The true serpent will invade Byzantium and Egypt."

"Nevertheless, I wanted to leave a record in writing of the years, towns, cities and regions in which most of the events will come to pass, even those of the year 1585 and of the year 1606, reckoning from the present time, which is March 14, 1557" What does the dates mean?
There had not been any important events in those years.
What is, therefore, the figures' secret?

From the same epistle:
 
"For beginning with this year the Christian Church will be persecuted more strongly than it ever was in Africa, and this will last up to the year 1792,"
Here there is a fullfilled prophecy. From 1789 (French Revolution) to the 1792 the Church was persecuted and fought in Europe. It is Possible that the year which
Nostradamus started counting was 1585. With these two dates the seer wanted to point out two extremely important events in our age and the French Revolution is one of these.
We can try to reverse the figures: 1585-5851, 1606-6061: then we do a subtraction 6061-5851=210(years). If 1585 coincides with 1789, we can adding 210 and the result will be 1999, that's it, another important date for the Nostradamus' scholars.
Probably the seer wanted to point out some epochal change
and the 1999 could be the right time.
In the Mariani' s messages to Don Gobbi (you can read them in this site) you find out that 1998 is the year in which it will be accented the fought between the good and the evil and maybe the 1999 is the year when everything it will have full demonstration.
From the C10,Q72, first verse:
"The year one thousand nine hundreds ninety-nine and seven months"
Nostradamus is telling us also the month. It could be July and this would coincide with the pictorial's table n.70 in which you can see a Cancer' sign (July) when it would happen an astronomic phenomenon of "Warning "and this coincide with the C6, Q24:
"Mars and the scepter will be found conjoined Under Cancer calamitous war."
A conjunction between Jupiter and Mars however it will happen in 2002.
The seventh month can also point out the seventh astrological therefore September or October.
 
Now it's better to give more information: it is possible to apply the Ramotti' s key to order chronologically the whole matter, so you can read:
 
"The stars are testimony, three years and the seventh month they will do the war, the third time of Mars the warlike games"
 
The seer wrote about the duration of the war, exactly in 3 years and 7 months. In the 1900 sum-up you can read:
"For the holy fates will pursue prickly the Arabs with Diana, in Persia, Bisanzio, Egypt and toward north in the adverse October"
 
So he had done a reference to the October's month. In the tenth of the '99 there could be a war in the middle east that after to be expanded toward the west countries would cause the beginning of the third world war.
Who will be our enemies?
In many prophecies of Saints and mystics you can find some reference to 'the people of the North. 'the most probable candidate suitable is Russia, of course, ...But what Nostradamus had told about it?
We have already seen that the Arabs will be protagonists of the next conflict. Nevertheless They can't hope to win alone.
In the C5, Q73:

"The Church of God will be persecuted,
And the holy Temples will be plundered,
The child will put his mother out in her shift,
Arabs will be allied with the Poles."
 
Arabs and Polish or Slavic or better Russian, the only Slavic with the power suited to instigate a war.
 
C1, Q16:

"A scythe joined with a pond in Sagittarius at its highest ascendant.
Plague, famine, death from military hands; the century approaches its renewal."
The first verse is telling us about the month of December, the scythe coming from the East is the communism or an analogous regime, the rest of the verses is enough clear and especially the last it is very important: the century is next to the renewal... 1999-2000!
 
Another example could be furnished by the premonition 94:
"Great downpour, noise of conspired death Renewed century, three leaders in great discord
For Get-fire worsened harmony
The rain rages, on decision wicked an agreement"
We have spoken of dissension, discords and war and, on top of it, in the second Verse you can read,' Renewed century,' therefore the same years quoted previously ' 99-02 !'
But we find out what Nostradamus said in the epistle to the King:
Then the great Empire of the Antichrist will begin where once was Attila's empire and the new Xerses will descend with great and countless numbers,"
 
The Attila' s empire was situated in the actual Siberia (still
Russia) and the indication of Attila coincides exactly with that of the nun of Dresda in which she spoke about a new Attila.
Nostradamus, moreover, points out also Xerses that cannot be Attila, but it would describe the Arabic advance in Europe as Xerses did toward Greece conquering Athens.
 
Who will be the new Attila?
Difficult to say... but it is interesting to underline as one of the most feared men in Russia is the Siberian's governor:
General Lebed.
 
Who will be the new Xerses?
Now we can read some Nostradamus' quatrains. In the
C5,Q25, the last two verses:
"

In the C5,Q27, the first two verses:

"Through fire and arms not far from the Black Sea, He will come from Persia to occupy Trebizond: "

The ancient Persia coincides with Iran, today nevertheless in Iran it seems to be us a more open government. Another possibility it is Iraq of Saddam Hussein; in fact we need to remember the times of Xerses the Persian empire also included Babylon.
Saddam Hussein is also described by Nostradamus in
the C9, Q73:
"The Blue Turban King entered into Foix,
And he will reign less than an evolution of Saturn"
 
Saddam is the only middle oriental leader to be retracted with a light blue turban; His kingdom will last less than 29 years; and he has been already to the power since 79.
Probably there will be an alliance among the Arabs, in fact
in the C2, Q30, we can read about a new infernal Annibal,
the Libic leader ...Gheddafi?
 
In the C10, Q63, the Arabian and Hungarian will take the same destiny; will the Europeans upheavals? It will happen in the Middle-east?
 
Nostradamus seems telling us. This is the destiny of your days!
 
This is our destiny... this is what we have wanted... That is what we have built!
Maybe We are still in time to correct ourselves, to change this, we need a different conscience and a radical change in our behavior.
If there will be a new world war, it will be fought with the modern weapons of destruction and this involve a great risk for the man and the planet itself... however Nostradamus clearly told us that everything would happen it won't determine our end, there will be wars up to the first Fiftieth year of next century, then the doors will be open to a new era under the guide of the Sun!
But this is another story for another episode.

Event in the Milky way (Italian)

Event in the Milky way

By Matteo Ciuffreda

Se apparisse una Supernova nella nostra Galassia, non nascosta da nubi di polvere, costituirebbe un'apparizione meravigliosa nel nostro cielo.

Una Supernova relativamente vicina sarà molto più luminosa di qualunque stella o pianeta del cielo, e potrebbe come la Supernova nel Lupo del 1006, competere in luminosità con la Luna stessa. Una Supernova molto luminosa sarebbe inoltre visibile per un certo periodo di tempo, anche durante il giorno.

Tuttavia dopo il 1604 non c'è più stata una Supernova visibile a occhio nudo, e noi, in un certo senso ne siamo stati defraudati. Per quanto tempo continuerà questa carestia celeste? C'è qualche probabilità di vedere una Supernova luminosa nel prossimo futuro?

San Luca (21, 25-27): "Vi saranno dei segni (fenomeni prodigiosi) nel Sole, nella Luna e nelle Stelle e sulla Terra le nazioni si troveranno in angoscia, spaventate dal rimbombo del mare e dei suoi flutti. (Asteroide). Gli uomini saranno tramortiti dallo spavento e dall'attesa angosciosa di quel che avverrà sopra la Terra, poichè le potenze dei cieli saranno sconvolte.

Vediamo cosa dice Nostradamus nella C. I  Q. 84 "Un astro, rimasto a lungo nascosto nelle profondità degli spazi tenebrosi, del color del ferro ossidato (stella gigante rossa), oscurerà la Luna (cioè sarà più luminoso della Luna) con un raggio (luce) color rosso come il sangue".

Nella C. 2  Q.41 si legge: " La grande stella brucerà per 7 giorni, La nube farà apparire due soli: ...."

- La grande stella, brillerà per 7 giorni, tanto da dare l'impressione che in cielo ci sia un secondo sole. Ciò avverrà dopo l'eclissi totale dell' 11 agosto 1999. Ma in quale luogo del cielo apparirà la Supernova?

- La risposta, viene riferita sempre da Nostradamus dalla C.6 Q.6: "Apparirà verso settentrione non lontano dal Cancro la stella".... Al momento dell'eclissi totale dell'11 agosto 99 il Sole starà uscendo dall'asterismo del Cancro per entrare in quello del Leone. Nel giro di poche settimane la Terra si troverà in posizione favorevole per la visibilità della Supernova, considerando poi che l'astro trovandosi nei pressi del Cancro, avvicinerà il Sole sul piano dell'eclittica.

- A conferma della costellazione del Cancro, esiste la TAV. 70 del Manoscritto lasciato dal padre Michele a Cesare Nostradamus, scoperto dal Cav. Ottavio Cesare Ramotti in una biblioteca capitolina. Nell'immagine è chiarissima la presenza della spirale galattica della Via Lattea, ed un Granchio: "Nella costellazione del CANCRO, grande avvenimento nella Via Lattea, che durerà 3 Lune.

- Il significato delle 3 Lune è il seguente:

1 luna = 1 lunazione = 29 g 12^h 44^m 2,9^sec

3 lune = 88 g 14^h 12^m 8,7^sec = 3 mesi

- Infatti una Supernova di Tipo I può raggiungere una magnitudine di - 18,6, il che equivale a 2,5 miliardi di volte la luminosità del nostro Sole per una durata di diversi mesi. Possono addirittura esserci anche Supernove più spettacolari, stelle con diametro 100 volte maggiore del Sole e massa 2000 volte maggiori. Tipo III immaginare una Super esplosione!.

- Possiamo anche fare delle congetture ragionevoli sulle stelle delle costellazione del Cancro candidate a Supernove. Prendiamo in esame delle stelle variabili giganti rosse, possibili candidate. Le principali stelle variabili tipo MIRA (Omicron Ceti), stelle pulsanti giganti rosse LPV sono:

 

 R  CnC m 6,1
U  CnC m 8,7
V  CnC m 7,5
W  CnC m 7,5
RR CnC m 8,3
SZ CnC m 8,9
UY CnC m 9,9
VW CnC m 9,4

 

Inoltre nella costellazione del Cancro sono presenti le seguenti Variabili Semi regolari, cioè pulsanti non regolari (SR)

 

T        m 7,8
X        m 6,2
Z        m 8,1
RS       m 5,3   visibile con un binocolo supergigante
RT       m 7,1
RX       m 8,1

 

Altra candidata è la Variabile Eruttiva SY m. 9,5. Con stelle instabili le possibilità aumentano.

Nella costellazione del Cancro o Granchio troviamo 2 ammassi stellari aperti, al centro della costellazione si trova l'ammasso aperto M44. NCG 2632 chiamato Presepe, la Mangiatoia. Per la cultura Caldea M44 fu la "porta dell'uomo" passaggio dal quale uscivano le anime prima di entrare in un corpo che stava per nascere.

Il Presepe ha ben 4 stelle giganti Arancioni, ed una stella variabile la TX - CnC (dist. 520 a luce). Il secondo ammasso stellare aperto è M67 o NGC 2682 è uno degli ammassi stellari più vecchi conosciuti 10 Miliardi di anni, le sue stelle sono rosse e poco luminose, indice di una evoluzione avanzata.

11 stelle di M67 sono candidate a Supernova. Altra aspirante è la stella ZETA CnC 16 chiamata TEGMINE, formata da 4 stelle, di cui 3 molto simili al Sole, ma la 4^a è una nana bianca, perciò su quest'ultima si deve concentrare la nostra attenzione. Non dimentichiamo che nel 1627 Julius Schiller associò all'isterismo del Cancro "San Giovanni".

Anche la C.II  Q.96 parla di "Fiaccola ardente al cielo sarà vista...."

Anche nelle profezie della Santa Sindone, si definisce l'apparizione di una Supernova: " Immenso fuoco et burneo terra sterile Resurrex Danilova. Pius Danilova.... Come immenso fuoco, ritornerà una DANI + LOVA = DALI - NOVA = SUPER - NOVA. Il fuoco minaccerà la Terra? Sarà una super - nova, che libererà molta più energia e per un periodo molto più lungo di quanto facciano le supernove normali?.

Un monaco benedettino del secolo scorso, che fu battezzato "Mandorlo Fiorito", scrisse delle profezie, così sintetizzate:

 

Sogni proibiti
  
Morte di Giuda (Un nemico del Papa?)
Roma senza Pietro (Coincidenza con Nostradamus)
Trionfo del lavoro (PCI al potere in Italia)

L'uomo nuovo  

Esultante trionfo delle genti (Giubileo 2000)
Delirio nello Spazio (Supernova - Asteroide)
La voce dell'Anticristo (Scisma, Lotte Religiose, Tumulti)

 

Ma tutto questo non è se non il principio della Grande Tribolazione. Luca 21,16 "Gli uomini si perderanno d'animo per il timore.

Inoltre vediamo cosa rivela la Monaca di Dresda: "Nell'ultimo secolo del Millennio, ci saranno 3 piaghe: le punizioni non giungeranno però come "un ladro nella notte", saranno precedute da segni. Infatti due di queste profezie si sono avverate:

- 1^a guerra mondiale: nel 1913 sono stati individuati insiemi di meteoriti in Russia, Polonia, Germania. La Monaca di Dresda afferma: " Luci del cielo cadranno sulla Terra".

- 2^a guerra mondiale: nel 1939, alla vigilia, durante una cupa notte, il cielo si illuminò come d'incanto di una luce color del sangue" : una spettacolare rossa aurora boreale.

Dalle visioni profetiche di Teresa Neuman, la veggente di Konnersrenth: "ho visto un cielo di stelle. A un certo punto, ho visto una stella brillare di una luce eccezionale, tra il rosso e il viola. Seguite la stella mi disse una voce...."

- Quindi, l'ultimo segno sarà ancora dal cielo: Una super esplosiva Supernova nella nostra Via Lattea.... I segni saranno l'avvertimento, i segni saranno la mano che vuole impedire la caduta nel baratro. Così sarà l'ultimo tempo, la TELOS (dal greco = FINE) per la nostra Terra, forse la fine di un PERIODO, ma anche culminazione, prima del CAMBIO DEI TEMPI.

C2Q51

 

This quatrain is interesting for the next future:  

                                                                                                                                                     

Le sang du juste  Londres fera faulte,
Brusls par fouldres de vingttrois les six:
La dame antique cherra de place haulte,
De mesme secte plusieurs seront occis.
 

1st translation by Peter Lemesurier
Nostradamus in the 21st Century', Piatkus, 2000

Though no just blood they'll spill in London town,
Bolts from the blue'll singe six times twenty-three.
The ancient dame from high shall tumble down.
Of the same sect shall many murdered be.

2nd translation Leoni

The blood of the just will commit a fault at London,
burnt through lighting of twenty threes the six:
The ancient lady will fall from her high place,
several of the same sect will be killed.

Some Explanation:

For Dr Fontbrune it's about "royal dynasty" and it means the end of the Monarchy in the United Kingdom after twenty three kings.

For Brown should have been the great fire in the year 1666 that hit London.

For Corvaja it's about twenty three prelates struck by lighting when they will be in some meeting.

For Ionescu it's about the great fire of London as Brown thought.

For Dufresne it's about  injustices and decadence that will hit a "dame"

For Prévost it refers back to the Affair of the Templar in 1310, when the English templar, having confessed, went unpunished.

For me it's about ....... hmmm, I don't know! It seems about some rocket that will hit London killing a very important member, not very nice in these days.
