The beginnings of sorrows. Then... Matthew 24:7. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: And there shall be pestilences and famines and
earthquakes in places. 24:8. Now all these are the beginnings of sorrows. 24:9. Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted and shall
put you to death: and -  you shall be hated by all nations  - for my name’s sake..... 24:15. When therefore you shall see the
abomination of desolation, which was spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place: he that readeth let him understand.

Our Lady: "Do not expect this message to be received well, for hearts are hardened and eyes are blinded--all in the plans of the man of sin... Listen to Me, My children: he is walking your earth now! He has the powers of satan. He can use the body of a man or a woman or a child. (666) Watch! Beware! Ask the Holy Spirit to allow your eyes to see. Keep a constant vigil of prayer. Many will fall into the abyss. We weep for the souls that will be lost. He will proceed on into Egypt and Israel and bring Russia from the north. Wake up to the truth! His reign will be longer than man expects. The interpretation of man has erred. The time and one time and a half is in Heaven's time; the earthly time is very much longer." 710201

Veronica-Our Lady is pointing to a map. I see Egypt, and Africa. And in the center, Israel. Our Lady-"There will be a great war, and at the time of this crisis will return the Lord of Lords and King of Kings. Prepare yourself now, for the time for your earth grows short. A great change will soon take place. It will be the end of your era as you know it. Prepare your souls now. You have all been warned." 721120

Veronica: "Our Lady's showing me a large globe. I can see the United States and Canada. And I can see South America. And also now Our Lady's pointing over to the left side of this globe. And there's Asia, Egypt, Africa. And then, oh! There is a terrible war. Many, many people are dying. Many, many people will die, Our Lady said. Many souls unprepared to come to the Kingdom" 730210

"I see St. Francis over there, by..over the top of the church is St. Francis. Oh, and he's picking up this bird. He's holding the bird in his hand. The bird..the bird looks like it might have died; it's very limp. And St. Francis now is placing his hand over the bird. No..it's sitting up in St. Francis' hand, and St. Francis is pointing over to the right side. He wants me to look over the right side. I see... He's pointing over, and over the right side is a map. And he said peace also will be denied the areas shown. Oh, dear! I can see Egypt, and I see oh, Asia. Oh, I see a lot of people there; they're all marching they look like kind of Chinese...Chinese. And, oh, they're getting ready for war. They're got all these tanks, all these tanks. And they're all marching, the armies; there're a whole lot of them. There's so many of them! Many of them look like young children, but there's so many of them. Oh! And Our Lady said: "They are gathering their strength." I know that's China, and all these kind of..I guess yellow countries." 730530

Veronica - I see now a map and I'm looking upon the countries that look like desert. I don't recognize them. And I see pyramids that I know is Egypt. Egypt, yes. And I see people dressed in long garments with covers over their heads and hands. They're like from the desert country. And they now are running forward. They're gathering guns from large crates and some are carrying sticks. Thousands and thousands of people are running forward. I see horses now galloping from behind. And now it's growing dark and there's another side of the map showing. I recognize - it's an Oriental country. The people look like Chinese. They also are gathering in thousands and I see, though the people look very poor and most are walking without shoes, I see now to the left of them large, thousands and thousands of people dressed in uniforms. They're a green - brown uniform. I can see the colors. And they have a red star on them. I see on their armbands a red star. And they have cap hats that are like a hunting hat with its peak, but there's a red star on the hat. Now I can hear the noise of like, gunfire. It's like great cannons or - oh, the noise sounds so horrible, because I can hear the voices of people screaming. Oh! Now it's growing dark, but there is a light coming through the sky. Oh, it's Michael. I see Michael. Now Michael is dressed in his short type of skirt, but he's holding the golden balance in his hand, in his right hand, and in his left hand he has a long spear. His hair is very brilliant. It's so bright I can't look into Michael's face. It's very bright. Now Michael is holding up his spear.
St. Michael - "Listen well and repeat my words. Woe, woe to man of earth. He calls down upon himself a just punishment for the abominations he commits in his heart and the abominations in the sacred Temples of God. Wars, famine, flood, cataclysm, and the Ball of Redemption, know that in this order man shall be cleansed." 740530

Veronica - Our Lady is pointing over now to the right side of the flagpole. The sky is lighting up. And I am looking into a mapped area that looks like -yes, it is Africa. And I can see...I'm looking over from the African part of the map, and I can see the other countries of Egypt and Israel. And, Now Our Lady is saying: The culmination of Armageddon
Our Lady - "A coalition, My child, of the dark races. The world is fast heading to the culmination of the Armageddon." 750318

"Now as I’m watching - it's a map of... I can see Jerusalem and Egypt, Arabia, French Morocco, Africa. Oh, my goodness! There seems to be a very darkness now settling upon those countries. Oh, My! And Our Lady is saying: Our Lady - "The start of the Third World War, My child." 750329

Our Lady appears again in Egypt
"Now, My child, you have been much concerned about My appearance in another country, Egypt. Yes, My child, you do not understand all. Saint Damiana is a Coptic Orthodox Church, My child, and I must say: though My heart grieves because they are not with Rome at this time, they will join in the future. But at this time the only thing that eases My heart is the knowledge that they have kept the Faith as they know it. In that Church, My child, the Coptics - which are few in Egypt - they are devout. They do not rush through the service of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, where My Son, daily, gives Himself to you. They are few in number but devout.
"I must tell you, My child and My children, that they have suffered persecution throughout the years. I came there this time, My child, to try to draw together those about them who seek to persecute them: the Moslems, and others, the Arabs. This is going on throughout the world." 860517

I saw in the eastern sky an immense dragon with fiery nostrils chasing a poor camel in a northward direction. (Egypt?) Early years.

"Our Lady is pointing over to the large hills, and one in particular now is becoming very clear. It has a carved figure. Oh, I recognize it. It's the Sphinx, the Sphinx... And now Our Lady is pointing to it, and She is saying:

One From Egypt To Cause Great Catastrophe

"You must keep a constant vigilance of prayer, for one will come out of Egypt and cause a great catastrophe to mankind. Beware of accepting confidences of enemies of your God. Your country, My child, is in great danger, for they will place - your Government leaders, will place their trust in enemies; and deception upon deception shall be set upon your country. Your leaders will be forced to keep this knowledge of great importance from you. However, deception is not the work of the Eternal Father in Heaven, but the agents of satan loosed now in great abundance in your country and in the world." 751120.

FEBRUARY 11, 1971 - From now until the Plan is fulfilled, I must stress that you keep resigned to a life of prayer and sacrifice, for that is all that will save you. We still hope to gather Our stray children and therefore, We reveal to you now, the secret of the ages....... The true meaning of Mr. 666, known as the antichrist:
6 is for the 6 who are coming.
6 is for the 6 days of suffering.
6 is for the 6 who will be punished. ...Man is wise but through the ages the true meaning becomes lost. This, My child, We give you. Watch, wait and pray! He is still in your Land! Safeguard your home and your family as I have told you countless times before. The danger will increase to the souls.
.
MAY 28, 1977
"...Yes, My child, demon 5 is a great agent of hell. He will use persons, places and things to torment you. Yes, My child, his power is great, for there is only one greater than he now: 6. And you will have the whole conspiracy of evil, 666, then.
Pray a constant vigilance of prayer, My children and My child. Do not absorb the trifles while there is much work ahead to be accomplished. Keep a steady pace without friction and aggravation. Retain charity in your heart for all. Go as true bearers of the light in the dark world you live in now."
.
AUGUST 21, 1971 - Satan has placed his disciples in your schools. Satan has placed disciples in My Son's House. You will have to seek them out. You will need My Son to guide you. You will not recover these souls without prayers or sacrifice, violence will gain you nothing, for you will destroy your own souls!
.
Our Lady to Mrs. Lueken, September 7 1977: "And where, you ask, is 666, this man of perdition? He is - wherever there is darkness of spirit he will enter. He thrives on bloodshed. My children and My child, I will not go into full detail on this matter of  bloodshed. It is beyond your human comprehension to know the life pattern of this man of perdition - satan in a human body.

In the time of the pharaohs, a weary prince fell asleep in the sands by the Sphinx's head and dreamed that the beast offered him the crown of Egypt if he would restore the monument to its former splendor.
.
 Amon: god of wind, fertility, and secrets. Amon is often shown with the large-curving horns of a ram unique to the Nile Valley or as the Sphinx. At Thebes he became Amon-Re, king of the gods.
. Amon was represented on five forms:
1. As a man, when he is seen seated on a throne, and holding in one hand the sceptre,
and in the other the symbol of "life".
2. As a man with the head of a frog
3. As a man with the head of a uraeus (cobra)
4. As an ape
5. As a lion crouching upon a pedestal

A name that can mean "Lord of the Sky"

World celebrates rejuvenated Sphinx - May 25, 1998.
"... the Sphinx, called Abul Hol, which means "Father of Terror" in Arabic may have religious and astronomical purposes...."

"... Then silence fell, and the Sphinx spoke in three languages, saying: "With each new dawn, I see the god rise on the far bank of the Nile. His first ray is for my face, which is turned towards him. And for five thousand years, I have seen all the suns men can remember come up in the sky. I saw the history of Egypt in its first glow, as tomorrow I shall see the east  burning with a new flame.
I am the faithful warden at the foot of his Lord - so faithful, so vigilant, so near him that he gave me his face for his own. I am a Pharaoh's companion, and I am he, the Pharaoh."...
..
St. Martin of Tours:
Antichrist will first seize the empires of the east; he will have Jerusalem as his seat and imperial Capital. His persecution will require the denial of Christ's divinity (he himself pretending to be Christ) and will by law impose circumcision on all. Finally, as Nero himself was to perish at the hands of Antichrist, in this way, the whole world and its peoples would be brought under his yoke, until, at Christ's coming, the impious imposter would be overcome."
.
Daniel, Chapter 8:
4: I saw the ram pushing with his horns against the west, and against the north, and against the south: and no beasts could withstand him, nor be delivered out of his hand: and he did according to his own will, and became great...
20: The ram, which thou sawest with horns, is the king of the Medes and Persians.

Prof. Richard Frye of Harvard said (in The Heritage of Persia, p10-151):
"In the victories of the Persians... what was different was the new policy of reconciliation and together with this was the prime aim of Cyrus to establish a pax Achaemenica..... If one were to assess the achievements of the Achaemenid Persians, surely the concept of  One World, .... the fusion of peoples and cultures in one 'Oecumen' was one of their important legacies"

Masons worship gods of nature
Jesus: "In the commandments of your God you will remember: 'I', said the Lord, 'I am your God; thou shalt not have strange gods before you.' And who are these strange gods of masonry and witchcraft? Isis! My children, man has accepted gods of nature! Pagans you have become! You reject your God the Father; you reject the Trinity; and you have dabbled and burned your fingers in the unknown, the darkness of satanism." 771101

Our Lady is saying: "The start of the Third World War, My child." "She's pointing now to what looks like a map. Oh, my!
Now as I am watching, it's a map of...Oh, I can see Jerusalem, and Egypt, Arabia, French Morocco, Africa. Oh, my goodness! There seems to be a very darkness now settling upon those countries. Oh, My! . Veronica - Letters are coming out in the sky now. They are large letters: Persecution of the Mystical Body. It's written - Persecution of the Mystical Body of Christ. Demon 6 is being released!
Our Lady - "There will be many among you who will claim to be the Christ. Remember, My children, My Son shall return only the way He left, as He ascended into the Heavens. He will come down, return, descend from the Heavens with the armies of Heaven behind Him. Accept none who will pass themselves off to you as the Christ, the living God! Reject those creatures of hell in human form! Reject them though they may come to you with great powers of Satan. Number 6 - Beware of the anti - christ among you. Number 6! He will promote now the Third World War, the great war of destruction to mankind. A war that has never been met with a sequel upon mankind! A war of destruction so great that countries shall disappear in a fraction of a second! So great will be the power of 6 that he shall start this war! September 7, 1974
. Syria Has The Key

May 30, 1981: "My child, one part only can be made known, given to you. Syria has the key to the solution of world peace or the third world war. It will be the destruction of three quarters of the world. A world aflame, with also the Ball of Redemption.
"Your country, the United States, and many nations of the world now are under the domination of a godless government. As such, without prayer, atonement and sacrifice. I say unto you now, as your Mother, that you, too, proud and arrogant a nation that you be, the United States shall fall. Many shall suffer.

 Syria holds key to peace
.

May 28, 1983: "Wars are a punishment for man's sins. Syria holds the key to peace at this time. However, I place in front of you, My children, a graphic picture for you to understand. It will be a parable for some, and some will turn away not willing to hear what Heaven has to say in these desperate times."
Veronica - Our Lady is pointing up with Her finger, like this, to Her right side, and high above Her the sky is opening up - all the clouds are floating away and the sky is opening up and I see a map of the Mideast. And then Our Lady is pointing up farther and that's another map of China and Russia. Our Lady is turning back now: She was looking upward also.
Our Lady - "My child and My children, there are scoffers who will say there shall not be a Third World War. They do not know and cannot conceive of the plan of the Eternal Father. Be it known now that the Father has great heart for all His children, but when the sin reaches a peak only known to the Father the amount of sin among mankind, then the Father will take action. He will allow you to go upon your reprobate way until there will be few souls to save upon earth, for the others will have died in battle and also at the hands of a corrupt generation of the young.".

Persecution of the Mystical Body of Christ

The Antichrist:
. AUGUST 21, 1976
As this battle with the agents of 666 continues, out of fear and lack of the light, many shall fall into the web of the octopus. The secret societies, My children, are gaining fast advocates to undermine and subvert My Son's Church. It will appear, My children, that satan has gained a great ground, but know that his time is growing short.
.
JUNE 10, 1978
I ask you again not to abandon your parish churches. You will maintain the papacy in Rome. I tell you anew that 666 now is in Rome. Do not judge My Son's Church by His pastors in their human nature they can err, however, as legitimate legally ordained Roman Catholic priests they will bring My Son to you if you come seeking Him at the tabernacles of the world. The Mass is valid, I say unto you!
. .
 AUGUST 19, 1978
Veronica - Directly over Our Lady's statue there is a great outline forming of St. Peter's in Rome. I see a sword suspended over St. Peter's, and I see over the sword the tiara of the papacy, the papal crown. And I see now flowing blood from a chalice beneath the crown, between the crown and the hand of the sword which is in the form of a cross. The blood is now flowing over the sword and onto St. Peter's, and as it is flowing down I see the very foundation being shaken and a division occurring, and many smaller divisions occurring.
Our Lady now is motioning to listen.
Our Lady - "My child and My children, you must all go forward now as disciples for My Son and warn  the world that this division must not take place. A house divided shall fall.
.
(Daniel, Chapter 5: 28 PHARES: thy kingdom is divided, and is given to the Medes and Persians.)

November  20, 1978
"Your men, your theologians have lost one truth. It is not one man, as they refer scripturally, the man of perdition, a man whose number will be known as 666. It is a general term. It refers to Lucifer in the body of a man.  And listen well, My children, as I repeat to you this truth. Quoting from the scriptures, that "He will sit in the temple of God and proclaim himself as God." Antichrist will sit in the temple of God and proclaim himself as God"    (2 Thes 2: 4)

"FEW REALIZE HOW SOON THE ANTICHRIST WILL RAISE HIMSELF UP."
.   . Christina Gallagher, Republic of Ireland: In a message from the Heavenly Father in 1995,Christina was told by the Almighty: 'He who is anti of Me is now in the flesh.'
.
Christina has been shown a man in his fifties, "who looks like a bishop" and exudes a "feeling of horror". Christina tells us, "His face has a sallow complexion. His hair was cut short and it was very black. He had a roundish bold looking face with very dark eyes. He was broad shouldered. His looks were piercing and penetrating. They were unusual. He did not smile. He seemed to be a priest or a bishop, I'm not saying he was. I've seen him twenty, twenty five times; always the same. I would know him instantly if I saw him on television or in reality. I would know him instantly. " She says she was shown this man and during each apparition, she heard Our Blessed Mother's voice repeat the word "Antichrist." ...
  . .
The sequence of experiences given to Christina concerning the antichrist she relates as follows:
I was seeing this man time and time again. I had no idea who he was at first. I just saw his face and his head. I saw him a number of times and I didn't think there was anything wrong with him, but I used to feel from him a sort of horror.
.
... There was something different about his eyes. His eyes were so piercing. I could feel his eyes penetrate me and I didn't like it. Now, I didn't know what to make of this, so I asked God one day, talking in prayer. I said, "Dear God, who is this?"...  The next thing I knew I heard an echo of the Virgin Mary's voice saying, "Antichrist." I got the shock of my life. I've seen this man a number of times since then, but I just ask the Precious Blood of Jesus to cover me.
.
He's a man in his fifties. But he has a round face and he's bald on top with very short black hair, in a fine haircut. He would remind me of somebody like a bishop. There's something very strange and very peculiar about his eyes. They were dark brown or black. I'd say he was not a bad looking man. From what I can understand of what Our Blessed Mother has said about antichrist, there will be a number of them; a number in the world right now who are 'anti-Christs' or 'anti' of Christ.

Our Lady to Father Gobbi:
"...The fourth sign  is the horrible sacrilege, perpetrated by him who sets himself against Christ, that is, the Antichrist. He will enter into the holy temple of God and will sit on his throne, and have himself adored as God. By accepting the protestant doctrine, people will hold that the Mass is not a sacrifice but only a sacred meal, that is to say, a remembrance of that which Jesus did at his last supper. And thus, the celebration of Holy Mass will be suppressed. In this abolition of the daily sacrifice consists the horrible sacrilege accomplished by the Antichrist, which will last about three and a half years, namely, one thousand two hundred and ninety days.

.The term Jubilee Year: "The Horn of a Ram"

(Vulg. annus Jubilei, or Jubileus) is of Hebrew origin, the etymological meaning of which is, in all probability, "ram", which metonymically stands for "the horn of a ram". Thus the name "the year of the blowing of the ram's horn" exactly corresponds to "the day of the blowing of the horn", or the "feast of the new year", and it was, like the latter, announced to the people by the blowing of the horn. In Ezechiel (xlvi, 17) the Jubilee Year is called "the year of release"  http://www.knight.org/advent/cathen/08534a.htm
