The Choice Has Been Made

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]wo Ireti Igbala Igbala

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

Emi ko fẹ fi iya jẹ eniyan ti n jiya, ṣugbọn Mo fẹ lati larada, ni titẹ si Ọkan Aanu Mi. Mo lo ijiya nigbati awọn tikararẹ ba fi ipa mu Mi ṣe bẹ; Ọwọ mi ni o lọra lati mu ida idajo mu. Ṣaaju Ọjọ Idajọ, Mo nfi Ọjọ Anu ranṣẹ… Mo n gun akoko aanu nitori awọn [ẹlẹṣẹ]. Ṣugbọn egbé ni fun wọn ti wọn ko ba mọ akoko yii ti ibẹwo mi… —Jesu si St. Faustina, Aanu Olohun Ninu Ọkàn Mi, Iwe ito iṣẹlẹ ojojumọ, 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. (Amọsi 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. -Katoliki ti Ile ijọsin Katoliki, n. Odun 2584

There is an urgency that the prophet feels when God gives Him a word to impart. The word ru in his soul, Burns 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 imminness 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 — idajo 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. (Awọn Heberu 12: 6)

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

… Maṣe jẹ ki a sọ pe Ọlọrun ni o n jiya wa ni ọna yii; ni ilodisi o jẹ eniyan funrararẹ ti n mura ara wọn ijiya. Ninu aanu re Ọlọrun kilọ fun wa o si pe wa si ọna ti o tọ, lakoko ti o bọwọ fun ominira ti o fun wa; nibi awọn eniyan ni idajọ. –Sr. Lucia, one of the Fatima visionaries, in a letter to the Holy Father, May 12th, 1982

I have no doubt that the “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 rudurudu). 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. -Ifiranṣẹ ti Fatima, vacan.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 Ọjọ Idajọ 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.

Ṣaaju ki Mo to wa bi Adajọ ododo, Mo n wa ni akọkọ bi Ọba Aanu. Ṣaaju ki ọjọ Idajọ to de, ami yoo fun awọn eniyan lati ọrun ni bayi: Gbogbo ina ni awọn ọrun yoo parun, ati okunkun nla yoo wa lori gbogbo ilẹ.

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; Awọn ọrọ Lati ọdọ Jesu, Okudu 14, 2004

Nuclear-armed jets are being deployed over the earth as leaders threaten annihilation of one another. “amoye” 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. ati ogogorun milionu face starvation with hyper-afikun 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:

Ti o ba jẹ pe ifiranṣẹ kan wa ninu eyiti o sọ pe awọn okun yoo kun gbogbo awọn apakan ti ilẹ; pe, lati akoko kan si ekeji, awọn miliọnu eniyan yoo ṣegbe… ko si aaye kankan ni ifẹ gaan lati ṣe atẹjade ifiranṣẹ aṣiri [kẹta] yii [ti Fatima]… A gbọdọ murasilẹ lati faragba awọn idanwo nla ni kii ṣe paapaa paapaa - jina ojo iwaju; awọn idanwo ti yoo beere fun wa lati mura lati fi ani awọn ẹmi wa silẹ, ati ẹbun ti ara ẹni lapapọ si Kristi ati fun Kristi.

Nitootọ, melomelo ni isọdọtun ti Ile ijọsin ti ni ipa ninu ẹjẹ? Ni akoko yii, lẹẹkansi, kii yoo jẹ bibẹẹkọ. A gbọdọ jẹ alagbara, a gbọdọ mura ara wa, a gbọdọ fi ara wa le Kristi ati si Iya Rẹ, ati pe a gbọdọ ṣe akiyesi, fetisi pupọ, si adura ti Rosary. —POPE JOHN PAUL II, ifọrọwanilẹnuwo pẹlu awọn Katoliki ni Fulda, Germany, Oṣu kọkanla 1980; "Ikun omi ati Ina" nipasẹ 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 Akoko ti Alaafia.

Ni ipari, Ọkàn Immaculate mi yoo bori. Baba Mimọ yoo sọ Russia di mimọ fun mi, ati pe yoo yipada, ati pe akoko alaafia yoo fun ni agbaye. -Irin Fatima, vacan.va
