Writhing and pain will seize them. They will be in pain, like a woman in labor. Each one will appear stupefied to his neighbor. Their countenances will be like faces which have been burned up. Behold, the day of the Lord approaches: a cruel day, full of indignation and wrath and fury, which will place the earth in solitude and crush the sinners from it. For the stars of the heavens, in their splendor, will not display their light. The sun will be obscured at its rising, and the moon will not shine in her brightness. And I will act against the evils of the world, and against the impious for their iniquity. And I will cause the pride of the unfaithful to cease, and I will bring down the arrogance of the strong. A man will be more precious than gold, and mankind will become like pure refined gold.    Isaiah 13:6–12
   
“More tortuous than anything is the human heart, beyond remedy; who can understand it? I, the LORD, explore the mind and test the heart, giving to all according to their ways, according to the fruit of their deeds”  Jeremiah 17:9–10


 

God the Father: 

I have sent the Blessed Virgin Mary and have chosen many living saints to warn my creation of a coming chastisement before My Divine Justice comes upon mankind: past, present and future. Before my Divine Justice falls, I will send My Divine Mercy and will allow each living person to experience an encounter with themselves.  They will see their souls as they are in relationship with Me. Each person in the world will experience My Mercy rooted in love, justice, and My desire for humanity’s salvation. I desire you to return to Me!  No living person will escape this encounter; only young children, not yet of the age of reason, will escape the experience of this event.  

I will not be mocked nor allow evil to desecrate My Holy Church, My Faithful priests and my Holy chosen faithful children. The stronghold of Satan will be destroyed. He is aware that his time is almost over and has no power over anyone…the demon only has the power that you give him.

Sadly, my children that love evil will suffer eternal damnation in hell.  

Mankind will be given their choice to embrace evil or seek my forgiveness, Love and repentance. My Words in Holy Scripture will be fulfilled as I defeat evil in this fallen world.  Those who choose the demon and his path of lies and deception, rebel against My Will, and persist in their unrepentant sin that defies My authority and corrupts My Creation will receive their reward in eternal damnation.

The coming chastisement is not a punishment by the Holy Trinity. I discipline all whom I love.  My desire is to correct, purify, and refine all My children. Those that I love will be cleansed. I chasten and discipline every soul that I receive. This correction is meant to bring repentance, humility, and spiritual maturity and connect you to Me.  I corrected Israel for their rebellion and safeguarded the restoration of David after his sin with Bathsheba.  

My Holy Spirit and the Blessed Virgin Mary God have spoken to the world. My children are stubborn and will not respond to My message. Thus, I will send a Warning to mankind before the great Chastisement, and this will happen as a worldwide event for all my children.

There will be a flash of light accompanied by an interior illumination of conscience to make people aware of their spiritual condition. I desire each person to see themselves as I see each one. My hope is for each person to see their sins and missed opportunities, and to turn back to Me; to ask forgiveness, repent of their sinfulness and be welcomed back into My Kingdom. I embrace you as your loving Father. It is My Divine Love as a tender forgiving Father seeking to change and save you from eternal damnation.

All of Heaven rejoices as you return to My Loving Arms.

Be prepared for the Second Coming of My Son, Jesus, as He has paid the debt for your sinfulness.  The coming of the Era of Peace awaits you.  I love you, my beautiful Creation. We have prepared a place for all those that honor and seek Our Love.

We have given you a free will to decide your destiny and the choice is yours, My children. 

 

Reflection:

In the mid-1950’s, I enjoyed going to the movies after my work was done selling newspapers. I was 12 years old. The only place for entertainment was going to the movies when my papers sold out. I would always select good movies for it was a different time and era in those days. One of the movies that comes to mind was the movie “The Day the Earth Stood Still”; a science fiction movie, of course. 

In 1979, my life changed and I started seeking God and walking a spiritual walk with Him. My new journey took me deeper into the heart of God.  Many spiritual things happened, though I had little idea of the spiritual world. I did not understand yet when I was presented with many spiritual experiences. In my spiritual journey, I had dreams and visions that I could not figure out. Several times, I verbally heard the Voice of God.

I would have prophetic dreams of things in the future that were to take place. My parish priest suggested that I get a Spiritual Director to help me discern and seek his spiritual guidance of many things unknown. In one of my dreams, I had a vision of a judgement in the future that would take place worldwide. One such dream/vision was that a time would come where all mankind would come before God and see ourselves as God sees us. 

I did not understand until I heard and studied the visions at Garabandal, Spain. In the early 1960’s, Our Blessed Mother appeared to four young little girls and told them of many things that would take place in the future. She shared the chastisements that would take place. One that caught my attention was the WARNING “Illumination of Conscience”. (The Warning, or Illumination of Conscience, is a prophesied event in which every person will see their soul as God sees it, offering a profound opportunity for repentance and spiritual awakening). 

This brings me to my childhood when I saw the Si-Fi movie “The Day the Earth Stood Still”, a movie that visualizes something like the warning.

I received a short video by Dr. Eugene Gan, professor at the Franciscan University of Steubenville in Ohio who shared his dream/vision about the Warning. He stated that he heard a tremendous worldwide explosion was taking place, and that people’s eyes had turned white after the explosion. I went into prayer for discernment and asked the Holy spirit to guide me in judgement of this event.  The Lord reminded me of Jonah being sent to Nineveh…remember the wickedness of Nineveh?

As I read scripture, God sent Jonah to Nineveh to call its people to repentance. The people of that City had embraced evil and were committing wickedness, violence, idolatry, and moral corruption that drew God’s attention that required prophetic warning. The same evil is taking place today on a worldwide scale. Hundreds of people that speak with me pray that the WARNING will take place soon so that their children and families will turn to God after experiencing the WARNING. I listen to them and tell them to begin by looking inward and make personal changes where needed. 

The WARNING is not a short cut to salvation! 

We are all called to change our own lives and be an example to all around us. The Illumination of Conscience is our last gift from God’s Mercy and Love where we will be given a clear choice to make.  

God chose Jonah to go to Nineveh because the city’s wickedness had reached a level that required divine intervention.  Despite being Israel’s enemy, God cared about the Ninevites and wanted them to turn from evil and avoid destruction. 

But Jonah disliked the inhabitants of that city!  Jonah was reluctant to go to Nineveh because of his anger and hatred of that city.  Nineveh was the capital of a powerful and feared nation known for its cruelty, military aggression, and expansionist policies. Israel, Jonah’s homeland had suffered much. Jonah believed the Ninevites deserved God’s judgment rather than His mercy. He knew from God’s own description that He was “a gracious and compassionate God, slow to anger and abounding in loving devotion” (Jonah 4:2).  

When Jonah refused God’s command to go to Nineveh, he fled in anger.  He disobeyed his mission.  He was caught in a storm and was swallowed by a great fish after he disobeyed God’s command to go to the city of Nineveh and preach repentance.

Inside the fish, Jonah prayed to God, repented for his disobedience, and promised to fulfill his mission. God commanded the fish to vomit Jonah onto dry land. He immediately went to Nineveh and delivered the message of repentance, leading the city to turn away from its wickedness.

We will also be given the grace given to Jonah.

Jonah “turned white”. The fish’s belly was a dark, confined space, and Jonah was in a state of distress, praying to God from the depths of the sea. Turning white may also relate to Jonah’s repentance and God’s mercy, not on the physical details of his appearance.

 

God is again WARNING US

He is flashing before our eyes His Love and Mercy to save us from eternal damnation!

At the time of the WARNING, we shall understand that the warning is a “Jonah moment”.  It will be a moment of repentance and of calling for and accepting His beautiful mercy. Though it will not be a pleasant event for His Creation, we shall be blessed with His Mercy and His Love individually for each of us. In God’s Divine Mercy and Love, we will be given a choice to change our lives, repent of all our sinful ways, and turn back to God. 

Are we the Jonah in our families? Am I reluctant as Jonah was? Are we prepared to change our lives and turn to God? Are we ready to reach out to our children? Are we afraid/reluctant/unwilling to change our lives? 

In summary: The “white” color reflects the shock and sudden exposure to light after Jonah was vomited out of the fish’s belly, a dramatic moment in the story that symbolizes his deliverance and the reversal of his disobedience. We also will experience the shock of deliverance as we experience the Warning.  

We are called to seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, trusting that all other needs will be met as a result (Matthew 6:33). 

This is not about earning God’s favor through works, but about living in alignment with His Character and Divine Will.

 

As I was seeking discernment and significance of the WARNING, I prayed for wisdom and understanding. I received several visions and locutions related to the WARNING.

  1. No person on earth knows the time and place that it will take place.
  2. God’s Word will come to pass, and it will happen very soon.
  3. All of mankind will experience the WARNING.
  4. No one will be spared this spiritual event of God’s Divine Mercy.
  5. Little children under the age of reason will not experience this event.
  6. The chosen and consecrated faithful children of God will have less severe experience with the warning.
  7. Some may die due to the horrific revelation they will experience.  
  8. The WARNING is not a punishment, but God’s Mercy to allow everyone to make a choice between good and evil.
  9. Everyone will see themselves spiritually as God sees each and everyone.
  10. In several visions, I was shown individuals standing before God. I was allowed to witness the sins of many in the most grotesque forms possible. 
  11. Each SIN took a different form. 
  12. One example of a soul with grievous sin showed the person’s soul as a dead carcass of an animal that had decayed and was covered with magots and worms. 
  13. The smell of sulfur and pestilence was so horrific that it was difficult for me to bear. 
  14. God in His Love and Mercy will remove all sin if the person shows sincere repentance and conversion to God.
  15. Everyone will see all the good and evil they have done in their life and the good that they failed to do before God 
  16. God in His Love and Mercy is giving us time to change and seek forgiveness and repent from all our sinful ways. 
  17. We are all called to be in a state of grace and live a holy life.  

 

Conchita Gonzalez— About the Warning

Interview with Conchita. September 14, 1965

Q. Will the Warning be a visible thing or an interior thing or both?

A. The Warning is a thing that comes directly from God and will be visible throughout the entire world, in whatever place anyone might be.


Q. Will the Warning reveal personal sins to every person in the world and to persons of all faiths, including atheists?

A. Yes, the Warning will be like a revelation of our sins [as como si revelase nuestros pecados], and it will be seen and experienced by believers and non-believers and people of any religion whatsoever.


Q. Is it true that the Warning will cause many people to remember the dead?

A. The Warning is like a purification for the Miracle. And it is a sort of catastrophe. It will make us think of the dead, that is, we would prefer to be dead than to experience the Warning.


Q. Will the Warning be recognized by the world as a direct sign from God?

A. Certainly — claro, and for this reason I believe it is impossible that the world could be so hardened as not to change.
