 The Eternal Father

God the Father

My beloved son, I am unhappy and sorrowful that my Divine Mercy is coming to an end. My Divine Justice is imminent upon My creation. My children and leaders in government, business, political arenas and the some in My Church have embraced the seduction of evil. Pray and listen with your heart.

The wickedness of mankind has become so great that I have no other option than to destroy Satan’s stronghold on humanity---same as what had to take place during the time of Noah. If the days are not shortened, there will be no one left on earth. If the days of the coming tribulation are not shortened, no one would be saved. My people are stubborn and embrace the evil darkness of these end times. This will be stopped; I will not be mocked.

My chosen ones will be protected and will be saved by Love and Mercy. The prophecies of My servant Daniel---the revelations given to him---- are coming to fulfilment. These prophecies will come to pass, and the pains of labor are coming to an end. All this sinfulness will begin, the tribulation leading to the end of this era as was promised to Noah.

My plan for the end of this era includes the destruction of the wicked and the establishment of a new creation. It is an unconditional covenant that I made to Noah and his descendants. I showed the rainbow as My Covenant to Noah. This covenant is a promise of My faithfulness and My commitment to never again destroy the earth by flood. The “end of the world” is not as many would imagine. It is not the end of the earth itself, but the end of the world of ungodly people.

My Son Jesus is still on the Cross suffering and atoning for the sins of man. Enough is enough. The mocking of Jesus during His crucifixion serves as a comment on the human response to the redemptive work of Jesus. It has not changed. My creation misunderstood Jesus' words and their earthly deliverance. The mockery shows limited understanding of salvation. Despite the scorn, Jesus remained steadfast in His mission to redeem humanity, showing the depth of His love and grace.

Today, I am seeing far greater wickedness of man upon the earth. Mankind has embraced evil with every view of their thoughts in their hearts. They embraced evil all the time. Again, I regret that I made man on the earth to share in My Love and Glory. I grieve that I created humanity.

To My Faithful children: I will give them protection and refuge. My faithful children are a source of comfort and strength. I am your refuge and strength. I am always at your side. I hear your prayers before they leave your lips. I shall be ever-present to help you in your suffering and in troubles. I have commanded My angels to guard and protect you. You are not alone in your struggles. My protection is not only physical but also emotional and spiritual, guiding you through a lifetime of challenges. You will always find refuge knowing that I am always with you. I am always present to help you in times of conflict and turmoil.

I am as far from you as the sound of your heartbeat. I protect all My faithful people. My protection is not only physical but also spiritual. My Love and Grace offer you My promise of peace and protection to all My children---especially what awaits this evil and wicked world.

The Holy Spirit and the Blessed Virgin Mary have prepared places of Refuge during the cleansing of all evil and darkness that has almost complete control of this generation. I am calling all of you to come together in prayer and seek my Apostles for these End Times. Beware of Deceivers and False Prophets. There are many that say they speak for Me. I do not know them. They speak hallow pretty words that sound convincing. Test all spirits. It is through their fruits that you will know them. Discern everything and pray for My spiritual gifts and I will hear and see the love of My Son Jesus in your holy prayers.

Our Lady of Guadalupe

The Refugees

My little Juanito. It has been several decades since I came to you as you were praying before the blessed Sacrament. The Father has allowed you to be shown what He has planned for My children before the Creation of the Universe. Almighty God is All Knowing and All Present. He is not limited to man’s concept of time. The Holy Trinity is outside of time and cannot be measured by the mind of man and their concept of time. I have been with you, my little Juanito, since you were conceived in your mother’s womb. I was with you when you took your first steps and have always been at your side. I have loved you and protected you as you were being prepared for your spiritual journey as one of God’s plans for these times of evil and darkness.

I know that your journey and life have not been easy or simple. In your vision, as you were praying, I took you into a distance between the world and the moon. I showed you the earth and you were puzzled and could not understand why the earth was in complete darkness. I have always understood your love of God and the veneration and trust you have always shown towards Me. I am your heavenly mother who loves you very much. I sense the sincerity in your heart when you ask me why the earth was of the color black. I responded and made it known that the earth was black due to the sinfulness of mankind and the mocking of their Creator. In your heart, you knew the answer and with a loving heart, you asked me how this can be corrected. There was silence for a few seconds. I reminded you of the mission that had been given to you by God the Father. I was there when I saw your tearful eyes as you consecrated your life and soul to the Holy Trinity.

 

Reflection:

John Martinez Reflection:

As I was praying before the Blessed Sacrament: Our Blessed Mother appeared to me in a locution. In prayer, I was lifted into the sky. It seemed like I was in space between the earth and the moon. I could see the world completely black. I asked Our Lady why the earth was completely dark. She responded that the darkness was the sin of man covering the earth. I thought to myself. How is God going to correct this grave situation? Out of my own curiosity my thoughts reflected the time of Noah.

I was questioning myself why there were these bright lights throughout the United States and the rest of the world. Our Lady saw me smile and I felt relief when she explained that this would be a holy place of Refuge for her faithful and beloved children. She was aware that I did not know what a Refuge was. She described to me that at the fullness of time, a “Great Chastisement” would come upon mankind and that all the darkness of evil would be destroyed. Lucifer, his earthly followers, his demons would be sent to their eternal damnation for the affliction and deception they had inflicted upon God’s creation. Since the fall of man in Paradise, evil had trapped and seduced all of humanity with lies and deception. It started with Adam and Eve. God’s creation of Paradise on earth was meant to be a place of holiness, peace and love. Their disobedience to their Creator was the downfall of our forefathers. God had to intervene by sending His Son Jesus to rescue and bring redemption to His creation. Satan had placed a stronghold of evil and seduced God’s creation. Paradise was lost. The redemption of mankind could only come through His Son Jesus Christ. Satan’s objection was not to destroy their Creator but to replace Him with lies, treachery, deception, pride and false promises. Lucifer’s presence is wickedness, evil and darkness.

The promise given to Noah has taken place. The Refuges are now in existence; The eyes of man cannot see them because of the evil around us and within all of God’s children. They are invisible to the naked eyes. Today, protection and salvation will be the love and Grace of God. Instead of building an Ark, the Holy Spirit and our Blessed Mother along with God’s Holy Angels have built these spiritual places of Refuge.

As we descended to earth, I was surprised that five (5) Refuges had been built in the United States. The one in the Texas Hil Country seem to be the largest Refuge. The size was 300 miles by 300 miles. I also saw many bright lights in countries worldwide.

I wanted to see the inside of the Refuge. Our Lady invited me inside. What I experienced is beyond description or words. Everything was so clear and bright and beautiful. The grass was like velvet; a gentle breeze would sway back and forth. I could hear the grass and trees singing! The sky was an angelic bright blue, and the clouds were dancing in joy and singing with the wind. I could feel the presence of God in the entire valley. The trees, the grass, the wind were all singing in harmony. You could breathe God into your lungs and feel the sweetness of His presence in your body. The feeling of love and joy was overwhelming. I do not have the words to express what I was experiencing and being shown.”

The refuges are a place of holiness where the love of God will be His constant presence. There will be many repentant sinners, but no sin will be able to exist in God’s presence. I saw thousands of humans working in harmony and fellowship. There were ladies who worked with the children while most men did the hard labor. Food was plentiful. Angels were present throughout the refuge, helping and working with people. Prayer was continuous. Holy priests were giving this new holy community the Sacraments of the Church. I saw everyone, including non-Roman Catholics, praying the Rosary with Our Lady. People of all cultures and denominations were working as one community of God. There was no anger, no hatred, no strife, just complete peace and harmony. It was Heaven on earth.

I saw Our Lady pointing up with her hand and wanted me to see the love and power of God. I saw holy Angels carrying beautiful churches, holy shrines and Basilicas. The angels were bringing them inside the large Refuge. I was shown thousands of homes of believers who had been obedient to God and had placed their trust in His love and protection. These homes that had been consecrated to God and were taken by angels into the refuges. Angels were also carrying the sick, those that were homeless and dying. Angels were bringing people from all parts of the area into the refuge; there was complete order and harmony, and no fear or anxiety from anyone. I saw many saints going out of the refuge helping and directing those in need of help. People were being led by angels, and they were coming from all directions. We all knew that there was horrific fighting and chaos outside of the refugees. I could hear the screams of horror and pain from the many afflicted and trapped. Many angels heard the prayers for help and went to rescue those who were seeking God’s protection and safety. Many of our personal homes are consecrated places of refuge; they will be invisible shelters from the storms against the forces of the antichrist and evil factions-especially the one world government.

I was shown the homes of believers who had been obedient to God and had placed their trust in His love and protection. They continue to pray lovingly and unceasingly. The abandoned, the sick, the homeless, the innocent were all brought inside the Refuges. The sick and the dying were healed instantly upon entering the holy Refuges. There were many repentant sinners and saints who had consecrated themselves and their families to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary. They were at peace and safe in the Arms of our Savior. Everyone continued to pray for their loved ones and their friends. All their sacrifices, prayers, novenas were all true and had come to floriation. The Mystical Body of Jesus Christ was coming together.

Prayer was continuous. Gentle holy priests and lay people were giving comfort and assurance as they prayed for each other. There were much joy, happiness and love among everyone. God’s people rejoiced in being in the presence of complete love and holiness. It was Heaven on earth as everyone knew that God is God. It was as if we were inside the Holy Eucharist being nourished by his love. Everyone prayed in harmony and love.

There were many martyrs and sadly, unrepentant sinners that refused the Mercy and Protection of God. I saw the evil outside the Refuge and smelled the stench of evil cursing and blaspheming God.

 

Reflection: By Todd St.Romain

The last two mornings I grasped my Holy Bible and asked God: “Speak to me Lord for your servant is listening”. Both days I randomly opened my bible to Maccabees 2. Intently I read this chapter listening with my heart and the following verses stood out:

And behold, our holy place, our beauty, and our glory have been laid waste; the Gentiles have profaned it. Why should we live any longer? 12-13

Then the Kings officers spoke to Mattathias as follows: You are a leader, honored and great in this city, and supported by sons and brothers. Now be the first to come and do what the King commands, as all the Gentiles and the men of Judah and those that are left in Jerusalem have done. Then you and your sons will be numbered among the friends of the King, and you and your sons will be honored with silver and gold and many gifts. But Mattathias answered and said in a loud voice: Even if all the nations that live under the rule of the King obey him, and have chosen to obey his commandments, departing each from the religion of his fathers, yet I and my sons and my brothers will live by the covenant of our fathers. Far be it from us to desert the law and ordinances. We will not obey the Kings words by turning aside from our religion to the right hand or to the left. 17-22

Then Mattathias cried out in the city with a loud voice, saying: “Let everyone who is zealous for the law and supports the covenant come out with me!” And he and his sons fled to the hills and left all that they had in the city. 27-28

And so, observe, from generation to generation, that none who put their trust in Him will lack strength. Do not fear the words of a sinner, for his splendor will turn into dung and worms. Today he will be exalted, but tomorrow he will not be found, because he has returned to the dust, and his plans will perish. My children, be courageous and grow strong in the law, for by it you will gain honor. 61-64

My Brothers and Sisters, although these words and actions took place 175 years before Christ, there is a staunch parallel to today. Mattathias, his sons and the Faithful Remnant of that era held fast to the Law of Moses, and they put their trust in God and refused to profane themselves and abandon their faith. As the world around us continues to change, many have abandoned their faith and are seduced by the ways of the world in a society that promotes “me first” and offers instant gratification that inflames our pride and ego and pushes our faith to the fringes or even worse eliminating our faith and putting our trust in the things of this modern era in which we live.

Now is the time to seek true repentance, return to our faith and to strive to live in a state of grace, and like Mattathias to put our Trust in God and not in the world and to allow Him to direct our paths.

Words from God the Father: “Be prepared, my people, for when My angels come, you do not want to turn away. You will be given one opportunity when this time comes to trust in Me and My Will for you, for that is why I have told you to begin to take heed now. Begin to prepare today, for what appears to be days when darkness lingers.”

 

Below I am sharing information and sources to authenticate the messages of warning by Our Blessed Mother

Our Lady of Guadalupe

The Message of Our Lady of Guadalupe

The message she gave to Blessed Juan Diego in 1531 is the following one:

My son, I love you. I desire you to know who I am. I am the ever-Virgin Mary; mother of the true God who gives life and maintains its existence. He created all things. He is in all places. He is Lord of Heaven and Earth, and I desire a church in this place where your people may experience my compassion. All those who sincerely ask for my help in their work and in their sorrows will know their mother’s near in this place. Here I will see their fears, and I will console men and they will be at peace. Know for certain that I am the perfect and ever Virgin Mary, Mother of the True God. … Here I will show and offer all my love, my compassion, my help and protection. I am your merciful Mother, the Mother of all who love me, of those who cry to me, of those who have confidence in me. I will hear their weeping and their sorrows … their necessities and misfortunes. … Listen and let it penetrate your heart. … Do not fear any illness or vexation, anguish or pain. Am I not here who am your Mother? Are you not under my shadow and protection? Am I not your fountain of life? Are you not in the folds of my mantle? In the crossing of my arms? Is there anything else you need?

The Prophecies of La Salette

Warnings of Chastisement: Our Lady lamented the neglect of Sunday Mass and the blasphemies against God, stating that if people did not repent, they would face severe consequences, including famine and suffering. She specifically mentioned that the harvest would be spoiled due to the people's sins, which was later seen as a foreshadowing of the Great Potato Famine that struck Europe shortly after the apparition.

The Prophecies of Garabandal, Spain

The prophecies of Garabandal, Spain, are a series of messages given by the Virgin Mary to four young girls who experienced apparitions of the Blessed Virgin Mary and Saint Michael the Archangel. These messages include a Warning, a Miracle, and a conditional Chastisement. The Warning is described as a cosmic phenomenon that will be seen and felt internally by everyone simultaneously, bringing awareness of one's own actions and the good and evil one has done. The Miracle is expected to be a permanent sign left in the Pines, a small stand of trees overlooking the village, and will be visible to the Pope. If people do not repent, chastisement will come. These prophecies are seen as a call for a conversion of heart and purification to prepare the world for the great Miracle that is expected to occur within the same year.

 

The Prophecies of Akita, Japan

The prophecy of Akita involves Marian apparitions to Sister Agnes Sasagawa in 1973, delivering urgent warnings of global chastisement and calls for prayer, penance, and devotion to the Rosary.

Messages and Prophecies

The Virgin Mary delivered three key messages to Sister Agnes:

June 6–12, 1973: A call for prayer, sacrifice, and offering sufferings for the sins of humanity.

August 3, 1973: Emphasis on penance, prayer, and courageous sacrifices to soften God’s anger.

October 13, 1973: A dire warning of a global punishment if humanity does not repent, described as greater than the biblical flood. Fire would fall from the sky, affecting both the good and the bad, sparing neither priests nor faithful. The only protection would be the Rosary and the Sign of Christ. The message also foretold internal strife within the Church, with cardinals opposing cardinals, bishops against bishops, and priests being scorned.

The messages strongly echo the Fatima apparitions, particularly in timing (October 13) and content, emphasizing repentance, prayer, and the Rosary as spiritual defenses.

3 Sources - Church Recognition

In 1984, Bishop John Shojiro Ito of Niigata officially recognized the Akita events as authentic, and in 1988, Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger (later Pope Benedict XVI) confirmed their reliability and worthiness of belief. The apparitions are among the few Marian apparitions approved by the Catholic Church, highlighting their significance alongside Lourdes, La Salette, and Fatima.

Prophecies 2023

Significance

The prophecy of Akita serves as a warning of potential global calamities and moral decay, urging humanity to return to God through prayer, penance, and devotion. It also emphasizes the spiritual challenges within the Church and the importance of the Rosary as a protective spiritual tool. The apparitions continue to inspire devotion and reflection among Catholics worldwide.
