August 20th
Jesus says:
"If one were to observe well what has been happening for some time now, and especially since the beginning of this century that precedes the second millennium, one should think that the seven seals have been opened. Never as now have I been anxious to return among you with my Word and to gather the troops of my chosen ones to march with them and with my angels to present battle to the occult forces that work to excavate the gates of the abyss for mankind.
War, famine, pestilences, instruments of warlike homicide - which are more than the ferocious beasts mentioned by the Predecessor - earthquakes, signs in the sky, eruptions of the viscera of the ground and miraculous calls to mystical ways of little souls moved by Love, persecutions against my followers, elevation of souls and lowering of bodies, nothing is lacking of the signs by which the moment of my Wrath and of my Justice may seem near to you.
In your horror, you exclaim: "The time has come; it cannot be more terrible than this. And you call with a loud voice for the end to set you free. The guilty call it, mocking and cursing as always; the good call it, who can no longer see Evil triumph over Good.
Peace, my chosen ones! Still a little while and then I will come. The sum of sacrifice necessary to justify the creation of man and the Sacrifice of the Son of God is not yet fulfilled. The formation of my cohorts has not yet been completed and the angels of the Sign have not yet placed the glorious seal upon all the foreheads of those who have deserved to be chosen for glory.
The reproach of the earth is such that its smoke, little different from that which gushes from the abode of Satan, rises to the feet of the throne of God with sacrilegious impetus. Before the appearance of my Glory it is necessary that East and West be purified to be worthy of the appearance of my Face.
Incense that purifies and oil that consecrates the great, infinite altar where the last Mass will be celebrated by Me, eternal Pontiff, served on the altar by all the saints who will have heaven and earth at that hour, are the prayers and sufferings of My saints, of those who are dear to My Heart, of those who are already marked with My Sign: of the blessed Cross, before the angels of the Sign have marked them.
The sign is engraved on the earth and it is your will that engraves it. Then the angels fill it with an incandescent gold that is not erased and that makes your forehead shine like the sun in my Paradise.
Great is the horror of now, my beloved ones; but how much, how much, how much it still has to increase to be the Horror of the last times! And if it seems truly that wormwood has mingled with the bread, with the wine, with the sleep of man, much, much, much more wormwood must still drip into your waters, upon your tables, upon your beds before you have reached the total bitterness which will be the companion of the last days of this race created by Love, saved by Love, and which has sold itself to Hatred.
That if Cain wandered the earth for having killed a blood, innocent, but always blood contaminated by original sin, and found no one to take away the torment of remembrance because the sign of God was upon him for his punishment - and he generated in bitterness and in bitterness he lived and saw living and in bitterness he died - what must the race of man suffer who killed in fact and kills, with desire, the most innocent Blood that has saved him?
Therefore think that these are the symptoms, but it is not yet the hour.
There are the forerunners of that which I have said may be called: "Denial", "Evil made flesh", "Horror", "Sacrilege", "Son of Satan", "Vengeance", "Destruction", and I could go on giving him names of clear and frightful indication. But he has not arrived yet.
He will be a person who will be very high, high up like a star. Not a human star shining in a human sky. But a star of a supernatural sphere, which, yielding to the flattery of the Enemy, will know pride after humility, atheism after faith, lust after chastity, hunger for gold after evangelical poverty, thirst for honors after concealment.
It will be less frightening to see a star fall from the firmament than to see this already chosen creature precipitate in the spirals of Satan, who will copy the sin of his father of choice. Lucifer, by pride, became the Damned and the Dark One. The Antichrist, by pride in this hour, will become the Accursed and the Dark One after having been a star of my army.
As a reward for his abjuration, which will shake the heavens under a shudder of horror and make the pillars of my Church tremble in the fear that his precipitation will arouse, he will obtain the full help of Satan, who will give him the keys of the pit of the abyss to open it.
But let him open it wide to let out the instruments of horror which Satan has manufactured for millennia to bring men to utter despair, so that they will, of their own accord, call upon Satan as King and run to the retinue of Antichrist, who alone will be able to open wide the gates of the abyss to bring forth the King of the abyss, just as Christ has opened the gates of Heaven to bring forth grace and forgiveness, which make men Godlike and kings of an eternal Kingdom in which I am the King of kings.
Just as the Father has given Me all power, Satan will give him all power, and especially the power of seduction, to drag into his retinue the weak and those corrupted by the fevers of ambition as he, their leader, is. But in his unbridled ambition he will still find Satan's supernatural aids too little, and he will seek other aids from the enemies of Christ, who, armed with ever more deadly weapons, as much as could induce them to create their libidine towards Evil to sow despair in the multitudes, will help him until God does not say his "Enough" and annihilate them with the brilliance of his figure.
Much, too much - and not out of good thirst and honest desire to redress the evil
and not out of a good thirst and an honest desire to atone for pressing evil, but rather out of useless curiosity - much, too much has been pondered over the centuries about what John says in the tenth chapter of the Apocalypse. But know, Mary, that I allow to be known all that can be useful to know and I hide all that I find useful that you do not know.
You are too weak, my poor children, to know the honorable name of the apocalyptic "seven thunders". My angel said to John: "Seal what the seven thunders have said and do not write it down". I say that it is not yet the hour for that which is sealed to be opened and that if John did not write it I will not say it.
For the rest it is not for you to taste that horror and so.... It only remains for you to pray for those who will have to suffer it, so that their strength will not be shipwrecked in them and they will not become part of the mob of those who, under the scourge of the scourge, know no penance and blaspheme God instead of calling Him to their aid. Many of these are already in the earth and their seed will be seven times seven times more demonic than they are.
I, not my angel, I myself swear that when the thunder of the seventh trumpet has ended and the horror of the seventh scourge has been fulfilled, without the race of Adam recognizing Christ the King, Lord, Redeemer and God, and calling upon his Mercy, his Name in which is salvation, I, by my Name and by my Nature, swear that I will stop the instant in eternity. Time shall cease and Judgment shall begin. The Judgment that forever divides Good from Evil after millennia of coexistence on earth. 88
Good will return to the spring from whence it came. Evil will precipitate where it has already precipitated from the moment of Lucifer's rebellion and from where it came forth to disturb Adam's weakness in the seduction of sense and pride.
Then the mystery of God will be fulfilled. Then shall ye know God. All, all the men of the earth, from Adam to the last born, gathered together like little grains of sand on the dune of the eternal beach, will see God, Lord, Creator, Judge, King.
Yea, ye shall see this God whom ye have loved, blasphemed, followed, mocked, scorned, blessed, reviled, served, fled. You will see him. You will then know how much your love deserved and how much merit it was to serve him.
Oh, the joy of those who have consummated themselves in loving and obeying Him! Oh, the terror of those who have been His Judas, His Cains, of those who have preferred to follow the Antagonist and the Seducer instead of the humanized Word in whom is the Redemption; of Christ: Way to the Father; of Jesus: Most Holy Truth; of the Word: True Life.
