Prophecies that are accepted by the Church are always worth considering in the mix of things that go into making our decisions about life.
Recently the Pope, Benedict XVI, went to Portugal and visited the Shrine of Fatima. Of course, Portugal is a vital cog in the European Union…in fact, it is the next country after Greece that is likely to default on its debt payments. Portugal also represents a political flash point for another reason – abortion, and the Constitution of the European Union. If the Pope can sway Portugal back to its Christian identity and re-instate it’s anti-abortion position, the secular forces behind the anti-Catholic sentiment driving the European Union would be thrown a mighty blow. Forget not that the Pope just visited Malta, another leverage point in the same contest.
However, for a moment, let me leave aside the political behind-the-scenes choreography of the Pope’s visit to Fatima, and try to look at the theological dimensions – which also contain elements that are difficult to perceive because they are coded in nuance, and cloaked in innuendo.
For example, The Pope referred to the bullet in the crown of the statue of Our Lady of Fatima. What is a bullet doing in The Virgin’s crown!!?? AHA. That’s the point of referring to it.
The bullet relates to the very nature of the entire supernatural character of the Shrine itself – and the prophecies that were given to the 3 children in 1917 – prophecies that touch directly on political events surrounding the END OF THE WORLD, or more literally, “the end of the present age.”
Benedict XVI also clarified how the prophecies of Fatima ought to be interpreted!! (I could write many pages about this, but am trying to be as brief as possible.) The Pope pointed out that the human receptors of the prophecies of the Virgin were uneducated children. Therefore, the words EVOLVE in meaning!!
Benedict applied the prophecy of Fatima, by extension, to HIMSELF! this is the first time that it has been publicly admitted to extend to Benedict. Many many people disagreed with Pope John Paul II’s closure placed on Fatima by claiming that the prophecy applied to him and the assassination attempt that took place on the Feast of Our Lady of Fatima, May 13. Yet, it was Cardinal Ratzinger who was the custodian of the last promise of the prophecy – the promise that deals with the END OF THE WORLD – or as Benedict spoke more accurately – “the end of the present age”.
And now Benedict is extending the application of the Fatima prophecies to himself.
This means that the part of the prophecy that states: “nations will be wiped off the earth.” also comes back into play. Fatima is not closed!!! The End of The Present Age just got a whole lot closer.
NEXT UP: Benedict goes to Russia. This will be a cataclysmic event and will be accompanied by a PERMANENT MIRACLE that contravenes the laws of physics, and that will remain open to investigation.
