JANUARY 4, 1997 -Message to Mary Jane Even
"My children: In this dictation I wish to speak to you of those conditions of which we deal in many Messages and yet you cannot clearly understand where they will fit into God's Plan. My daughter asked Me questions as to how, when and how long some Things will last and I will now try to anticipate your questions.
One of the first questions from a member of My daughter's Rosary Group, when she read the Messages to them, was, "Will the Miracle still take place within a year from the time of the Notice, or has this changed?" The answer is, "No, the realization of the Miracle will still be within the year of the Notice, but it could occur a day or two from the end of the time of the year and still within the time of the prophesied year."
The Miracle is one more story, My children, and is not to be confused with the Great Warning, nor with other prophesied small Warnings; tribulations, persecutions, trials, plagues, wars and other devastations.
Since the time of the Three Days of Darkness will be "closely followed" by the Miracle, people may think that this "closely followed" will be within a few days. No, My children, the "closely followed" can mean six months to a year after the Miracle, but I tell you with certainty from Heaven's purpose, and yours, that it will occur quite often after the Miracle.
I tell you with certainty from Heaven's purpose, and yours, that it will happen quite often after the Miracle.
I wish to give you the benefit of arithmetic. If the Warning takes place in one year, the Miracle could take place in the next and the Days of Darkness in the next. Since everything will happen before the end of this century (a prophecy that was delayed) and there are only three years before the end of the century, you can see what can happen. It is pure arithmetic. Some events may occur within the years rather than at the end of time. Or things could happen in such a way as to occur within a year's time, for if the Warning were to occur one day, the miracle could happen within six months (which is within a year's time) and the Three Days of Darkness within the next six months.
Thus you see that it is not wise to speculate on exact dates; just be prepared at every moment. You are understanding what is going to happen and for which events you must plan to be prepared.
No one knows the exact date except My Father in Heaven. This is very true, although many on Earth as in Heaven know the approximate time. It is so that My Father with My Mother can decide the most convenient time. My Mother is using every second to win more souls for Heaven and for God.
You must not wish for all this to happen. Prepare yourselves by building yourselves up with Graces, Sanctifying Graces for the time of persecution, for this time will exhaust your sensitivities and you will need all possible Graces.
Another question may be whether one place will be safer than another during those days. It is true, for the Angels will offer great protection, although you will not be exempt from earthquakes, the effects of the Bugle or the sufferings of failures in everything. You will be more protected against evil spirits and pestilence. Your areas will not be destroyed by fires. Your place will be green, and the vegetation, animals and houses will be preserved, unless there are sinful people, places and events in those areas. These people will feel the full effects of the devastations. Therefore, also, in safe places or houses, you must cover your windows. The Angels will come to your aid.
You realize that these safe houses and areas will enter the Kingdom of Peace. These places will receive special help and protection, and will be better than other areas.
My children, you also want to know how to deal with family members who do not want to know anything about the Church and/or do not want to go to confession before the Notice. These people will receive special Graces for your prayers, although each one must respond to this Grace after the Warning, individually.
You will not be able to save people who remain obstinate to God's call, but persevere in prayer, so that at some point they may respond even moments before they die. Remember, perseverance in prayer for souls will be rewarded by Heaven whether alive or dead. Those in Hell cannot be spared, although prayers for them can be offered for others, and the Grace earned through prayer will be offered to us for your comfort and understanding of God's Justice.
My children, I wish to speak to you now of the beginning of the Great Warning. For several days you will realize that natural events have changed. In these days you will recognize that a spiritual event will occur, as you will realize your sins. The tremendous explosion, spoken of in the prophecies, followed by the white cloud that will descend upon all, will occur when the Sun has several explosions. These explosions will be the sign that the Blessed Mother is approaching as the "Morning Star". covering the Earth with Her mantle, a dense white cloud, a thick layer. The Blessed Virgin will start from the international Date-Time-Zone and proceed eastward covering the entire Earth. That morning you will be able to see the sunrise at the same moment, due to these explosions. Close your doors, cover your windows, start praying. Do not look outside.
Then the Comet will strike the Earth, which has stopped its rotation and the white cloud will hold everything in place.
The Earth will continue to rotate when all have felt the effects of the sins of men and natural events proceed. The white cloud will dissipate when all have felt the effects of sin. The shaking of the Earth will be caused, first, by a total shutdown of everything, then by the huge impact of the Comet, then by explosions, followed by earthquakes. The Moon and Sun will be hidden by the dust caused by the Comet. This will last throughout the Great Warning, and you will be in darkness for some time. You need blessed candles to give light during these days and also for some warmth. Houses and cities will disappear with earthquakes and floods. Several stars will fall from their positions.
The great event, undamaged, will be the great thunder that can be heard 24 hours a day during the week of the Notice. When there is no more thunder, know that all is over.
Initially there will be deathly silence, but then there will be thunder that will strike houses and windows, doors and all your things. Fire, heat and lightning will be in the atmosphere, caused by cosmic dust, by the tail of the Bugle and the dust from its impact. These will be the effects of the impact of the Bugle hitting the Earth. Fire and lightning will damage even closed houses where sinners live.
They are houses in sin. Oh, My children! Does this not seem better to you than a deluge? Is it not better than a total destruction with a single lightning bolt? At least you have the opportunity to continue to see, to amend your lives, to confess your sins. Yes, though severe, this is better.
Now, as a result of these crises that will occur all over the world, the Anti-Pope and the Anti-Christ will appear and speak in many ways of how the Church and the world must be rebuilt. Woe to those who will follow their heresies and lies. For this time there will be the Remnant Church. This time will be when the Apostles and Disciples of the Blessed Virgin Mary will provide you with a holy Hope and Faith.
