III. PUNISHMENTS ADDED BY GOD OR THE DIVINE INTERVENTION TO END THE WAR AND EVIL.

     A. The Terrifying Event: -

             a. Time: When War and confusion reign supreme, when disorder and confusion is at its height
                 in France. when Rome is about to fall to the enemies of religion; after famine. pestilence.
                 war, fraud. and communism have left Italy in anarchy; when the humiliation of Sion (the
                 Church and/or the Jews) is complete; when in France, at least. public prayer ceases and
                 the churches close for 24 hours; when the white and the black (true and false?) pope die
                 the same night (47c, g, 93, 144, 158, 165. 168e, 173). Further. it will be at the end of a
                 terrible war, after one awful night in the midst of persecution in France, in the age which
                 preceeds the universal preaching of the Gospel. at the beginning of the third period of time
                 and more precisely in or near a year when Easter falls on April 25th (19a, 106b, 113, 123h,
                 144, 168b, d).

             b. Surprise: The Day the Lord comes as " thief in the night, when they (the forces of evil) say
                 peace and security, then suddenly comes destruction upon them (23, 161, 174); when all
                 appears lost for the Church, just then 311 is saved (118, 137, 138, 141, 144, 147b, 151,
                 152, 163, 168c, 169b, 173, 183) .

             c. Purpose: God will cleanse the world and return it to its ancient state (34, 44a, 149,
                164, 166, 191). It will be a case of Him adding to the destruction of man (65, 156). It is His
                Judgment on the Nations (8a, c, 24, 41b, 122), the time for t}1e mountain of the Kingdom
                of God to destroy all kingdoms and establish itself (12a). All that preceeds has not made
                man repent (32c) .

             d. General description of the event: a great, terrible, and most certainly and evidently
                 miraculous happening (70b, 76, 129, 137, 144, 150, 152, 153, 158, 160, 168b, d, 169b,
                 171, 173, 194). Nothing like it before or after (14a, 161). It will be world wide but probably
                 more severe in Europe (84b. 130, 137, 146, 150, 161, 174). A sorry event for those not
                 truly holy (70b, 153). Fear, the snare. and the pit consume man (8c, 41 f) .


             e. More specific descriptions:

                   1. A whirlwind of God's fierce anger scatters and destroys high and low (8a, c, 9d, 14, 24,
                       41b, 122); hurricanes (70a, 150, 173) ; winds, strong winds or storms (12a, 32, 63b,
                       65, 84c, 150, 155, 194).

                   2. A darkness (14a, c, 32, 45, 60b, 63b, 72b, 86b, 98, 162, 173b, 176) as the sign of
                       Jonas (19b) will last three days and three nights (154, 156, 159, 162, 165, 170, 174).
                       The heavens will be moved with frightful clouds, lightning and thunder. Then~ will be
                       earthquakes and tidal waves. (14a, c, 63b, 150, 174). A yellow fog, dust, flame, and
                       smoke from the north (14c, 41c, 63c, 84c, 92, 184). Pest in the air, an unknown and
                       frightful illness (76, 156). Demons infest the air and are visible (65, 88b, 150, 153, 156,
                       161, 165, 174, 177).

                   3. A numberless, strong, irresistable force described as an army of beings before whom all
                       is a garden, behind whom all is desert (14a, 32c, 411e). Also God comes to judge the
                       wicked with thousands of his saints (31).

              f. Results of this event coupled with those of the war, persecution, and upheavals in nature:


                   1. Apparently a three months' period is involved in a special way (152, 161). A famine or
                       plague seems to follow the darkness (174, 182) and likewise exploits of the Great 
                       Monarch and his forces (q. v.).

                   2. Whereas the vengeance of God is directed against the army of evil (92), which
                       completely defeated, flies to the Far East (162, 174); many men will lose their lives. In
                       other words, the enemies of religion chiefly, but not exclusively, shall perish, yet even
                       some of those enemies will be spared, become converted and be other St. Pauls (144,
                       147b, 150, 152, 154, 156, 174). But even so, the faithful shall have special protection,
                       especially during the darkness (45a, 150, cf, g below).

                   3. The casualties shall be appalling: There will be few men left (8c, 161, 173b). Seven or
                       even twelve women to every man (84c, 92). this apparently because there are more
                       faithful women than men (168, 185): innumerable deaths (41c, 60b, 65, 85b, 98,
                       104b, 112) : the earth covered with the slain (9d. 32d, 154. 174: individuals, whole
                       families, property, cities destroyed (150). One third, one half, three-fourths of mankind
                       destroyed (32c, 157, 170, 174). Afterwards Europe will be too large for its people
                       (184).

              g. Spiritual helps for the good during the evil times: Stay where God has put you. hope in
                  Him. pray and do penance (65, 88b, 137, 183). Communions of reparation. prayers for
                  dying sinners offered through Our Lady to the Sacred Heart ( 147). For Spain, prayers to
                  Our Lady of the Pillar should be said (147). Our Lady has obtained a mitigation of the evils
                  (168c) and she will protect the church (173b). Saints Peter and Paul will protect the
                  faithful during the darkness: only blessed wax candles will then give light, one burns the
                  three days: stay where you are, say the rosary, and don't look out or go out of the house
                  through curiosity (147, 150, 156, 165, 174, 184). Devotion to the Precious Blood and Five
                  Wounds is also recommended (178, 186).

     B. The Consoling Events or Event: Fire cleanses from below, love from above (168b): -

             1. Immediately after the Darkness there will be a great light as the sun shining with a special

                 brilliance (86b, 150, 173). This may be on a Feast of Our Lady (163).

             2. The demons will be collected and bound through the agency of Saints Peter and Paul. and
                 St. Peter may designate the person to be chosen as the new pope (150, 156).


             3. It would seem that now begins the third period of time. Our Lady under the titles of
                 Immaculate Conception. Queen of Men's Hearts. Queen of Heaven and Earth. but especially
                 Queen of the Angels would have been responsible for saving France and Spain. and
                 mitigating generally, God's Anger. She had been given especial power over hell for the
                 latter times. She may appear in the heavens with angels and saints (130, 135, 158a, b,
                 168, 169, 173, 184, 185, 189, 193, 197b, 198) (cf. concerning the coming of the Son of
                 Man 14a, 20b, 130) .

             4. The Kingship of Christ and the Sacred Heart are devotions which will flourish towards the
                 end (102b, 128b, 147, 177).

             5. In the times before Christ God the Father, as it were, ruled. In the second period God the
                 Son. In the third period it shall be God the Holy Ghost, the Spirit of Love (114, 141, 168b,
                 177). This reign of the Holy Ghost begins with the defeat of Germany (104c, 117).
