The Choice Has Been Made

Det er ingen annen måte å beskrive det på enn en undertrykkende tyngde. Jeg satt der, krumbøyd i kirkebenken og anstrengte meg for å lytte til messeopplesningene på Divine Mercy Sunday. Det var som om ordene traff mine ører og prellet av.

I finally pleaded with the Lord: “What is this heaviness, Jesus?” And I sensed Him say in my interior:

The hearts of this people have grown hard: Because of the increase of evildoing, the love of many has grown cold (cf. Matt 24:12). My words no longer pierce their souls. They are a stiffnecked people as at Meribah and Massah (cf. Ps 95:8). This generation has now made its choice and you are about to live through the reaping of those choices…

My wife and I were sitting in the balcony — not a place we normally go, but today it was as though the Lord wanted me to see something. I leaned forward and looked down. The Cathedral was half-empty on this, the Feast of Mercy — emptier than I’d ever seen it. It was an exclamation point to His words that, even now — even with the world on the brink of nuclear conflict, economic meltdown, a global famine, and another “pandemic” — souls were not seeking His mercy and the “ocean of graces” ^[1]Diary St. Faustina, n. 699 that He was offering on this day.^[2]se Frelsens siste håp

I recalled again His heart-wrenching words to St. Faustina:

Jeg vil ikke straffe vondt menneskehet, men jeg ønsker å helbrede det, presse det til Mitt barmhjertige hjerte. Jeg bruker straff når de selv tvinger Meg til å gjøre det; Min hånd er motvillig til å ta tak i rettferdighetens sverd. Før rettferdighetsdagen sender jeg barmhjertighetsdagen ... Jeg forlenger barmhjertighetens tid for [syndere]. Men ve dem hvis de ikke kjenner igjen denne tiden av mitt besøk ... —Jesus til St. Faustina, Guddommelig barmhjertighet i min sjel, Dagbok, n. 126I, 1588

While God’s mercy never ends, it seems to me He is saying that “the time of mercy” is now ending. When? How long do we have since we know we’ve been on borrowed time?

The Warning Phase

Indeed, the Lord GOD does nothing without revealing His plan to his servants the prophets. (Amos 3: 7)

When God desires to warn mankind, He calls forth prophets or watchmen, often through a profound encounter that gets their attention.

In their “one to one” encounters with God, the prophets draw light and strength for their mission. Their prayer is not flight from this unfaithful world, but rather attentiveness to The Word of God. At times their prayer is an argument or a complaint, but it is always an intercession that awaits and prepares for the intervention of the Savior God, the Lord of history. -Katolske kirkes katekisme, ikke. 2584

There is an urgency that the prophet feels when God gives Him a word to impart. The word rører in his soul, brannskader in his heart, and even becomes a burden until it is spoken.^[3]cf. Jer 20:8-10 Without this grace, most prophets would be inclined to simply doubt, procrastinate, or even bury the word “for another time.”

The urgency the prophet feels is not indicative, however, of the nærhet of the prophecy; it is merely the propellant to spread the word to the Body of Christ and even the rest of the world. When exactly that word reaches fulfillment, or whether it will be mitigated, postponed or cancelled, and how many years or even centuries there will be after the prophet first speaks it, is known only to God — unless He reveals it (eg. Gen 7:4, Jonah 3:4). Moreover, there has to be time for the word to reach people.

This writing apostolate began some 18 years ago. It has taken many years for the message here to reach across the world, and even then, to a mere remnant.

The Fulfillment Phase

The fulfillment phase often comes “like a thief in the night.”^[4]1 Thess 5: 2 There is little or no warning, for the time of warning has passed — dommen is in. God, who is love and mercy itself, always waits until either justice requires Him to act, or there is such hardness of heart, only chastisement is left as an instrument of mercy.

For the Lord disciplines him whom He loves, and chastises every son whom He receives. (Hebreerne 12: 6)

Often the first stage of this chastisement is the individual, region, or nation simply reaping what has been sown.

... la oss ikke si at det er Gud som straffer oss på denne måten; tvert imot er det mennesker selv som forbereder sine egne avstraffelse. I sin godhet Gud advarer oss og kaller oss til riktig vei, mens han respekterer friheten han har gitt oss; derav er folk ansvarlige. –Sr. Lucia, one of the Fatima visionaries, in a letter to the Holy Father, May 12th, 1982

Jeg er ikke i tvil om at “seals” of Revelation are not only man-made but are deliberate. This is why Our Blessed Mother warned at Fatima of the consequences of letting the errors of Freemasonry, (ie. “errors of Russia”) to spread across the world. This “beast” that is rising out of the sea uses smooth words and catchphrases like “build back better” and “Great Reset” to hide its intentions of creating order out of chaos (ordo ab kaos). This is, in a sense, “God’s punishment” — as much as the “prodigal son” was permitted to reap what he had sown through his rebellion.

God… is about to punish the world for its crimes, by means of war, famine, and persecutions of the Church and of the Holy Father. To prevent this, I shall come to ask for the consecration of Russia to my Immaculate Heart, and the Communion of reparation on the First Saturdays. If my requests are heeded, Russia will be converted, and there will be peace; if not, she will spread her errors throughout the world, causing wars and persecutions of the Church. The good will be martyred; the Holy Father will have much to suffer; various nations will be annihilated. -Melding fra Fatima, vatikanet.va

I do not know the Lord’s schedule for this Triumph. But the “now word” today is very clear: humanity has collectively rejected Christ, His Church, and the Gospel. What remains before Rettferdighetsdagen seems to me to be one last act of mercy — a worldwide Warning that will at once bring home many prodigal sons and daughters… and sift the weeds from the wheat.

Før jeg kommer som rettferdig dommer, kommer jeg først som kongen av barmhjertighet. Før rettferdighetsdagen kommer, vil det bli gitt mennesker et tegn i himmelen av denne typen: Alt lys i himmelen skal slukkes, og det vil være stort mørke over hele jorden. Da vil korsets tegn sees på himmelen, og fra åpningene der frelserens hender og føtter ble spikret, vil det komme frem store lys som vil lyse opp jorden i en periode. Dette vil skje like før den siste dagen. -Jesus til St. Faustina, Dagbok om guddommelig barmhjertighet, Dagbok, n. 83

Make Haste to Be in a State of Grace

We have reached a point where we must be ready to meet the Lord at any moment. Dozens of times throughout the messages to American seer Jennifer, Jesus calls people to be ready to stand before Him “in the blink of an eye.”

My people, the time of warning that has been foretold is soon to come to light. I have patiently pleaded with you, My people, yet too many of you continue to give yourselves to the ways of the world… This is a time when My faithful are being called to deep prayer. For in the blink of an eye you may be standing before Me… Do not be like the foolish man who waits for the earth to begin to rock and tremble, for then you may perish… —Jesus allegedly to Jennifer; Ord fra JesusJuni 14, 2004

Nuclear-armed jets are being deployed over the earth as leaders threaten annihilation of one another. “Eksperter” are warning that a pandemic ‘100 times worse than COVID’ is already circulating in the United States. World-renowned virologist, Dr. Geert Vanden Bossche, has warned that we are entering a “hyper-acute crisis” among highly-vaccinated populations and we will soon see “a massive, massive tsunami” of illness and death among them. Og hundrevis av millioner face starvation with hyperinflasjon and a growing global food crisis.

At some point, we are going to pass through this Storm… and it appears sooner than later.

When asked about the Third Secret of Fatima, Pope John Paul II told a group of pilgrims:

Hvis det er en melding der det sies at havene vil oversvømme hele deler av jorden; at millioner av mennesker fra det ene øyeblikket til det andre vil omkomme... det er ikke lenger noen vits i å virkelig ønske å publisere denne [tredje] hemmelige meldingen [fra Fatima]... Vi må være forberedt på å gjennomgå store prøvelser i det ikke altfor -fjern fremtid; prøvelser som vil kreve at vi er klare til å gi opp til og med våre liv, og en total gave til Kristus og for Kristus. Gjennom dine og mine bønner er det mulig å lindre denne trengselen, men det er ikke lenger mulig å avverge den, for det er kun på denne måten Kirken effektivt kan fornyes. Hvor mange ganger har fornyelsen av Kirken blitt utført i blod? Denne gangen, igjen, blir det ikke annerledes. Vi må være sterke, vi må forberede oss, vi må betro oss til Kristus og til hans mor, og vi må være oppmerksomme, veldig oppmerksomme på rosenkransens bønn. —PAVE JOHN PAUL II, intervju med katolikker i Fulda, Tyskland, november 1980; "Flood and Fire" av Fr. Regis Scanlon, ewtn.com

I suppose what I am saying is that there is little if any time left to even alleviate this tribulation. Collectively, the choice has been made to eject God from the public square. This should be obvious to all. Still, “we know partially and we prophesy partially… we see indistinctly, as in a mirror” (1 Cor 13:9, 12).

Nor is all lost. These labor pains are not the end but the beginning of a coming new birth, a new Fredstid.

Til slutt vil mitt ulastelige hjerte seire. Den hellige far vil innvie Russland til meg, og hun skal omvendes, og en periode med fred vil bli gitt til verden. —Melding om Fatima, vatikanet.va

Ja, det ble lovet et mirakel på Fatima, det største miraklet i verdenshistorien, nest etter oppstandelsen. Og det miraklet vil være en tid med fred som aldri har blitt gitt tidligere til verden. —Cardina Mario Luigi Ciappi, October 9th, 1994 (papal theologian to John Paul II, Pius XII, John XXIII, Paul VI, and John Paul I); Apostolatets familiekategisme
