 <\/p>\n

Now I am sending to you Elijah the prophet,
\nbefore the day of the Lord comes,
\nthe great and terrible day;
\nHe will turn the heart of fathers to their sons,
\nand the heart of sons to their fathers,
\nlest I come and strike the land with utter destruction.
\n(Mal 3:23-24)<\/span><\/p>\n

PARENTS<\/strong>\u00a0understand that, even when you have a rebellious prodigal, your love for that child never ends. It only hurts that much more. You just want that child to “come home” and find themselves again. That’s why, before the Day of Justice<\/a>, God, our loving Father, is going to give the prodigals of this generation one last opportunity to return home\u2014to board “the Ark”\u2014before this present Storm purifies the earth.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n

Before I come as the just Judge, I am coming first as the King of Mercy. Before the Day of Justice arrives, there will be given to people a sign in the heavens of this sort: All light in the heavens will be extinguished, and there will be great darkness over the whole earth. Then the sign of the cross will be seen in the sky, and from the openings where the hands and the feet of the Savior were nailed will come forth great lights which will light up the earth for a period of time. This will take place shortly before the last day. <\/strong>\u2014<\/em>Jesus to St. Faustina, Diary of Divine Mercy, <\/em>Diary, n. 83<\/span><\/p>\n

I am going to draw upon dozens of writings to summarize (as briefly as I can) the Great Day of Light that is coming upon the earth before the “last day”, which as I explained in the Day of Justice<\/a>, is not a twenty-four day but an extended “period of peace” according to Scripture, Tradition, and the prophetic lights of Heaven (a certain maturity in discernment is needed by the reader to understand how we approach “private revelation” in the context of the Public Revelation of the Church. See Prophecy Properly Understood<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0Can You Ignore Private Revelation?<\/em><\/a>).\u00a0<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

THE GREAT STORM<\/p>\n

Near the beginning of this writing apostolate some thirteen years ago, I was standing in a farmer’s field watching a storm approach. At that moment, I sensed in my heart the words:\u00a0“A Great Storm, like a hurricane, is coming over the earth.”\u00a0<\/em>That one sentence forms the entire “template” of everything else I’ve written here since it is, most importantly, also a template of Sacred Tradition<\/em>, according to the early Church Fathers.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Shortly after, I was drawn to read Chapter 6 of the Book of Revelation. I immediately felt that the Lord was showing me\u00a0the\u00a0first half\u00a0of the Storm<\/em>. I began to read the “breaking of the seals”<\/a>:<\/p>\n

The First Seal<\/em><\/strong>:<\/em><\/p>\n

\n

I looked, and there was a white horse, and its rider had a bow. He was given a crown, and he rode forth victorious to further his victories. (6:1-2)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

This\u00a0Rider, according to Sacred Tradition, is the Lord Himself.\"\"<\/p>\n

\n

He\u00a0is Jesus Christ. The inspired evangelist [St. John] not only saw the devastation brought about by sin, war, hunger and death; he also saw, in the first place, the victory of Christ.<\/strong>\u2014POPE PIUS XII, Address, November 15, 1946; footnote of\u00a0The Navarre Bible<\/em>, \u201cRevelation\u201d, p.70<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Since this “time of mercy” we are presently living in, which began at Fatima in 1917<\/a>, we have seen so many incredible victories of God over the past century, despite the accompanying sorrows. We see the spread of Marian devotion and Our Lady’s continued presence in her apparitions, both which lead souls closer to Jesus; [1]<\/sup><\/a>cf. On Medjugorje<\/em><\/span><\/span>
