The Last Three Seals In Our Time

(footnotes also as a separate page)

 

Timeline of the Seals' Opening: 

1941: White Horse. December 8; upon the declaration of war following Pearl Harbour.
1949: Red Horse. August 29;  the Soviet Union tests its first nuclear bomb. [1]
1957: Black Horse. March 25; the Treaty of Rome establishing the EEC is signed. [2]
1965: Pale Horse. December 8; Vatican '2' is signed into being by antipope Paul 6.
(1966-2019: The movements of the four horsemen are operating in the world, each in their own way contributing to the building of globalism.)
2020: Pandemic Illusion. March 11; World Health Organization declares COVID-19 as a pandemic.
202?:  The "Warning". Of Garabandal; in actuality, the 6th Seal.
202?: The "Miracle". Of Garabandal; in actuality, the 7th Seal.

Notable differences between the first four seals and the last three: The first four seals are represented as four horsemen, announced by the four living creatures, and are opened in a definite sequence, once every 8 years over a 24-year span. The last three seals are not announced, there is no apparent sequence, and there is a significant gap in time between them.

This gap in time is 55 years. As there is already a noticeable sequence in time for the first four seals, the digits are not coincidental.

The first four seals were announced by the four living creatures, representing Our Lady of Fatima, as a parallel to the fulfillment of Fatima prophecy: "Russia will spread her errors throughout the world, raising up wars and persecutions of the Church", beginning with the wars of the United States in 1941 and the persecutions of the Church with the imposition of Vatican '2' in 1965.

As a long period of time had elapsed since the opening of the fourth seal it is possible, by looking back, to see their unfolding; but as the fourth Marian dogma had not been defined until 1950, it was unlikely the connection would  be made at that time.

The last three seals were not announced, then, because they did not need to be; the four horsemen would not have been perceived as they began, but only long afterward; and then, once they were perceived, the last three seals could be expected.

That there are only four 'living creatures' to announce them is not incidental, but the definition of the last Marian dogma is timed so as to then correctly place the chronology of the seals' opening.

 

 

The Fifth Seal Opened For What Reason ? [3]

The text does not give the reason, nor is there any apparent effect in the world:

6:9  And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God and for the testimony which they held.

The next verse does indicate the passing of a great length of time:

6:10  And they cried with a loud voice, saying:  How long, O Lord (Holy and True), dost thou not judge and revenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?

The last verse gives some indication as to the state of world, in which martyrdom is expected:

6:11  And white robes were given to every one of them one; And it was said to them that they should rest for a little time till their fellow servants and their brethren, who are to be slain even as they, should be filled up.

The context: It is 55 years since the arrival of the Pale Horse, representing Vatican '2', and together with the movements of the other three, have resulted in the state of the world as of 2020. Few have the true Faith. The wicked "deal wickedly" (Dan. 12: 10) with no recompense. There will be future martyrs not yet chosen.

There is little left of Catholicism in its former churches, except the relics of saints and martyrs under the altars.[4]

 

 

The Reason Which Is Not

The seal was opened when a pandemic was declared March 11, 2020. This pandemic was contrived, and did not actually exist. It was a re-branding of the flu. A test was enacted in which the results were interpreted as one having the virus or not. This is why the presence of symptoms or not did not matter.[5]

What it represented was the near total control the mystery of iniquity had over the world, as a result of the influence of the four horsemen's influence for many decades. It also furthered the development of the machinery of control which would in the future be implemented for the 'mark of the beast' (Apoc.13: 16-17).

The text itself makes no mention of this; it merely states that the seal was opened. The reason for this was to avoid the implication of a real pandemic involving a novel coronavirus, or even an exaggerated flu. To state the existence of a hoax of this kind in Biblical language would be impossible without giving credence to it. To give credence to it, even accidentally, would harm the inerrancy of Scripture.

To say nothing, then, would both prevent giving credence to the hoax and would otherwise indicate that it is something quite noticeable, being unusual and obvious. An event which affected the whole world, including all the areas of influence of the four horsemen, would be such an event.

 

The Martyrs Of The Past And Future 

For a time, in many places, churches were closed or severely restricted.The voices of the martyrs proceeding from under the altar are alone, without even the adherents of Vatican '2' present. They ask Our Lord how long will those who brought this about go unpunished.[6]

The future 'mark of the beast’ is prefigured by this event;[7] and already many suffered persecution for refusing the injection. The future martyrs, who would refuse the actual 'mark of the beast', is also prefigured. Those who possessed a love for the truth and perceived the deception in this instance have marked themselves as worthy.[8]

 

The Knox Translation For Comparison

9  And when he broke the fifth seal, I saw there, beneath the altar, the souls of all who had been slain for love of God’s word and of the truth they held,

10  crying out with a loud voice, Sovereign Lord, the holy, the true, how long now before thou wilt sit in judgement, and exact vengeance for our blood from all those who dwell on earth?

11  Whereupon a white robe was given to each of them, and they were bidden to take their rest a little while longer, until their number had been made up by those others, their brethren and fellow servants, who were to die as they had died.

In this translation, it is more clear in verse eleven that future martyrs were being selected, presumably due to the event by which this seal is opened, when they have shown their preference for the truth. Whereas in the older translation it may possibly be interpreted as a martyrdom happening even then, as  the number is being filled up.[9] The martyrs referred to may specifically be those of Roman times, when they were persecuted by a major power steeped in paganism, and which looks to be returning today, under the antipapacy when it is given all power in chapter thirteen.

 

 

Addendum / Mark Of The Beast

To add to the future 'mark of the beast' being pre-figured by the conjob19 of which is the reason for the opening of the fifth seal: Even as all were pressured to take the fake medicine at the time, saying that everyone must take it in order to be effective, or it will fail, something similar will happen with the mark of the beast in the context of the false prophecy which will be fulfilled, Garabandal: All must follow Rome, and give honour and devotion to the antipope, or take the mark, or honour his image, lest "the Punishment" of Garabandal come to pass because not enough people took the mark, or gave honour to Rome, or to the image to be set up (which will likely be an AI representation of perhaps John Paul 2 which all can carry on their devices). But it is a false promise: "the Punishment" cannot be avoided in any case because it is a false hope given by the devil to lead those who do not love the truth to Rome of the antichrist.

The thing is, one does not have to do all three to be compromised. All it takes is one (perhaps in this way the Conjob which came previously will not be so obvious a prefigurement). But it seems that whosoever takes one will take all three: "And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice: If any man shall adore the beast and his image, and receive his character in his forehead, or in his hand; He also shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, etc" (Apoc. 14: 9-10). 

Addendum to Fifth Seal: The Charlie Kirk Shooting

The Fifth Seal was figured to be the 'conjob19' which came to prominence in March 2020. The reasons are given above; but the Charlie Kirk shooting bears examination in that light, as there are obvious correlations with the Fifth Seal.

From the start it should be noted that, given the depths of the 'mystery of iniquity' and its 'operation of error' (2 Thess. 2:7, 10-11), nothing is off the table in regards to what may be real or false. 

By this point many things have been said about the event, including that the apparent shooter is a patsy and someone (or some others) are responsible; and even that the event itself was staged in that Kirk was 'written out of the script' and not actually shot. Here we are not interested in answering those questions but we are interested in its possible application to the Fifth Seal.

One of the things to keep in mind is the polarizing effect it has had on many; on one side, people are shocked and sympathetic; on the other, they celebrate and are nasty. It is perhaps more accurate to say that the event is not so much polarizing as it is revealing. What it revealed is the depths of spiritual darkness of many; but it did not add to it.

 

There are three possibilities: Either they are both the 5th Seal (unlikely); or conjob19 prefigured Charlie Kirk as the locus of the 5th Seal's opening (unlikely); or this event is the 'sign' of when the martyrs' "fellow servants and their brethren...should be filled up". (The second possibility means that as the 'vaccine' is a 'type' of the mark of the beast, this shooting is a 'type' of martyrdom of those who are for the truth, however imperfectly).

 

The thing is, even if, for arguments' sake, the whole thing was a staged psyop (and for what reason that might be is not our consideration) the three possibilities still hold equally true.

One may argue that, since this occurred during Trump's second tenure as figurehead, that now the martyrs may well cry out (in a loud voice) "How long, O Lord (holy and true) dost thou not judge and revenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth"? After all, nothing much was done during the Trump's first tenure to bring to justice many for their crimes; and now also there is seemingly not much progress (perhaps for a token few), although there is much talk thus far. (As for whether or not certain public figures are genuine, or compromised, or acting, or a mixture of all three, is not our consideration; again, we are interested only in the application to Apocalypse).

 

This would beg the question of whether Charlie Kirk was a true martyr or not; if so, then a martyr in what sense ? Would that account for the reference to the martyr souls 'under the altar' ?[9A]

The Roman martyrology includes only Catholic martyrs, who died for the Faith. In our times, he can be said to have died for the truth in a more general sense. He was not Catholic, but he was opposed to the 'wokeist' (as it is called) ideology which is prevalent today. The worst aspects of that ideology can be seen in the gender confusion, the errors regarding the sexes, and all such scandals (and nonsense). Such things are part of the 'operation of error' spoken of by St. Paul; and as he goes on to say that this operation was sent by God so "that all may be judged who have not believed the truth, but have consented to iniquity" it is in this sense that one can be called a 'martyr' for the truth, if not for the Faith, specifically.

St. Paul had also told us that "he who now holdeth, do hold, until he be taken out of the way", meaning the papacy (in 1958), and what this means is one is not judged, then, on one's adherence, or not, to the papacy which is 'taken away'. That is partly why the 'operation of error' is sent instead. If it were not so, then it would be overkill on the devil's part, since as most people do not believe in the true papacy anyway, there should be no need to drive them further to the truth (if they have an affinity for the truth) with ever more flagrant errors by which all seem to be in the process of being divided even now. But we digress, and whether this view is true or not will have to be seen[9B]; but for now it only seems that those who believe the truth tend to believe it more and more; and those who do not, less and less.

 

This event could not, in any case, avoid comparison with the 5th Seal. However, the old conclusion is not changed; and here is why:

The martyrs' complaint ("How long, O Lord, etc") already accounts for the great length of time from the opening of the 4th Seal, 1965, until 2020 (55 years); and also accounts for the apparent chance for justice to begin to be brought about during Trump's first tenure, and the failure for to do. What was also said is that they should wait:

"And white robes were given to every one of them one; and it was said to them, that they should rest for a little time, till their fellow servants, and their brethren, who are to be slain, even as they, should be filled up".

So when the 5th Seal was opened, the number of future martyrs was not yet filled up; but it will have been filled up 'a little time' afterwards. Five years later would qualify as 'a little time' compared to the fifty-five years previous. That is one reason.

 

The reaction of many on the 'left', but also really the polarized reactions in general, would seem to indicate that most people are, by now, firmly on one side or the other. Most people's minds are made up, at least in a general sense, on which side they would be. This would seem to be an indirect indicator that the number of those who would 'fill up' the future martyrs also have their minds firmly made up.

So the event is not the 5th Seal, but a sign that the 'little time' spoken of to the souls under the altar has come to an end.[9C]

It was said to them that they should rest a little time "till their fellow servants and their brethren, who are to be slain even as they" should be complete. This means first of all the remnant Church who exist scattered about in a world given to all error, which is not unlike the days of pagan Rome. It might also indicate those who have not come to sedevacantism yet, but will when the time comes; that is to say, those who will not follow the beast and antichrist when his time has come.

Part of the 'polarizing' effect spoken of is a result of the 'vaccine' which was inflicted as a result of conjob19. Part of its effect seems to be a deadening of logic and good sense. It would make sense, then, that the number of future martyrs is 'filled up' primarily by those who had refused it. There might be those who repented after the fact or who were coerced to a great extent; but one cannot be sure in those cases.

 

To sum up: The text of the 5th Seal never indicated what was the occasion of its opening;

 

In 2020 we had an event with world-wide effect based on something which did not exist, and its effect was also to lessen the ability of many to heed the truth (even less so than before). Years later it might have resulted in a certain number to be 'filled up'.

In 2025 we have an event noted the world over which, if true, is a 'sign' that the number is indeed filled in the years since 2020. If not true, then it qualifies as what was not indicated in the 5th Seal verses as the occasion for its opening, and henceforth the number of future martyrs is 'to be filled up' beginning now (Sept. 2025).

It is odd that they both seem to fit.

 

 

[Sept. 21 addition]: The effect of the public murder of one who speaks against the 'operation of error' is, spiritually, very similar to the reaction of the world to the murder of the two witnesses of Apocalypse chapter 11 at the hands of the antichrist: 

 

"And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry: and shall send gifts one to another, because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt upon the earth" (Apoc. 11:10).

This is a strong point for 2020 remaining as the official fifth seal opening: Because the martyrs were to wait 'a little time' until those who are also to be martyred 'should be filled up'. And here is why: The 144,000 elect who are signed in Apocalypse chapter 7 are there instead of the two witnesses. This is because there are two possible 'timelines' of Apocalypse, and they are centered around the reign of the beast of chapter 11 OR 13, but not both. So what had happened is the sign that the future number is indeed 'filled up', and it happened at what might have been the equivalent time in the other 'timeline', of when the two witnesses were killed by the antichrist - if events had led to chapter 11 and not chapter 13. That is to say, if we have had the 'period of peace' first. All this is the subject of the "Two Timelines Of Apocalypse" section, which is in three parts (see listing on the right).

 

 

**Update: The 'psyop' angle seems to be eliminated. Again, all things have to be considered. 

*** Considering the 2020 or 2025 duality above: If opened 2020 (as is our official stance), the martyrs' words can still refer to 2025 even then as they are outside of time, as the sign that the number is 'filled up' (everyone's minds are made up).

[Mar.13/26]  Addendum Fifth Seal: The Epstein Files

It is quite possible to see in the martyrs' complaint a reference to those infamous files, their long-delayed release, and even then not in full, as well as the lack of progress in the enactment of justice:

"And they cried with a loud voice, saying:  How long, O Lord (Holy and True), dost thou not judge and revenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?" (Apoc. 6:10).

The victims are thus spoken for by the martyrs. They are not themselves martyrs, and they did not die for the Faith, but they nevertheless did die, in a sense, as victims who were used by the 'mystery of iniquity' to extend their control over the earth; in fact, the 'mystery of iniquity' may be said to be part of the definition of "them that dwell on the earth" - those who live for the world, by the world, and without regard for eternity; for good or even for ill.

However, we do not believe this to be the fifth seal's opening, for reasons given in "6 Planets Align On February 28, 2026", which is quoted again here:

Recent Events And The Fifth Seal

When the fifth is opened, St. John saw "under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God and for the testimony which they held. And they cried with a loud voice, saying: How long, O Lord (Holy and True), dost thou not judge and revenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth ?" (Apoc. 6:10-11). An argument can perhaps be made that the long-awaited release of the 'Epstein Files' represents the opening of this seal. After all, no serious prosecutions have been made thus far (as of Feb. 26, 2026) so the martyrs’ words can be said to concern that lack of justice. And then they were told to 'wait a little time' until the future martyrs, those of these times, are to be 'filled up' (Apoc. 6:11). A 'little time' can be less than a year, as a 'time' represents a year in Apocalypse. But we do not think so.

Without again going into all of the reasons why, we believe the opening of the fifth seal to be the world-wide fake pandemic (2020). It did not actually exist, which is why the occasion of the fifth seal’s opening was not mentioned in the text. If a 'pandemic' or something similar were spoken of in the text, the impression would be given that it is real according to Scripture, and that would be an error. Since Scripture cannot err, its silence on the subject confirms the truth about the event, and confirms those who saw the truth - who will be numbered among those spoken of as the 'brethren' of the martyrs. 

At the time, many people accepted what might be considered to be the precursor to the mark of the beast. And many denied the truth of the situation. From that point the good and the bad (those who will believe the truth and those who will not) began to be sorted in earnest.

The martyrs were told to wait 'a little time' until the number of their future brethren should be 'filled up'. From the fourth seal to the fifth (1965-2020) is fifty-five years; in comparison, 2020-2026 is indeed 'a little time', or one-tenth part. From the assassination of Charlie Kirk in September 2025, when the nastiness of one side was seen clearly, to the aforementioned Epstein Files, which seems to have the effect of further sorting those who might believe the truth from those who do not (but in a different sense, which we will not examine here), and further still, later this year, when the SSPX will consecrate new bishops in defiance of the Vatican which might ultimately result in a real full schism from "The Second Vatican" (the 'New Church' of 'Vatican II'), resulting in a noticeably large number leaving Rome to become sedevacantist, it appears that the number which is to be 'filled up' is soon to be accomplished.

 

A False Prophecy Fulfilled: The Sixth Seal And Garabandal

 

Regarding the end-times, Our Lord said there would be signs and wonders of such a nature so as "to deceive (if possible) even the elect" (Matt. 24:24).  The sixth seal precedes the signing of the elect (Apoc. 7). They are elect as a result of keeping the Faith and not being deceived.

 

The antichrist comes to power "according to the working of Satan, in all power, and signs, and lying wonders, etc" (2 Thess. 2:7). The beast, coming up out of the sea (Apoc. 13:1), gains full power in the world due to this event. What draws the world's attention to Rome is not only the event of the sixth seal's opening, but that it appears to be a prophecy fulfilled.

 

In Garabandal were a series of apparitions which occurred from 1961 to 1965. They began the year after the secret of Fatima was suppressed and also shortly after his defeat in the battle of Heaven (Apoc. 12:7-9) that same year.[10] Chief among the messages were 'the Warning', 'the Miracle', and 'the Punishment'. But Garabandal is the devil's anti-Fatima.[11] The message is not from Heaven, and its purpose is to lead the world to apostate Rome, when the time has come. Without a true pope in the world, who is recognized as such, it is possible for the devil to set up a false prophecy to be fulfilled later.[12]

The sixth seal event is what Garabandal calls 'the Warning', and its purpose, ostensibly, is to warn mankind of imminent chastisement ('the Punishment') if they do not repent. However, what they will not realize, if they believe Garabandal, is that there is no way to prevent it, no matter what they do. As a consequence, they will blame those who do not believe it, nor give their adoration to the beast  (understood by the world as the pope) who will declare Garabandal as "worthy of belief".[13] And if they see it as the fulfillment of Garabandal prophecy, they will not see the Apocalypse. They will be blinded by the deception before them rather than heed the Word from twenty centuries previous.

 

 

The Event Is Not Metaphorical [14]

Verses twelve through fourteen depict events which are happening simultaneously. It commences with an earthquake:

 

6:12  And I saw, when he had opened the sixth seal, and behold there was a great earthquake, and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair: and the whole moon became as blood:

 

K~  Then, in my vision, he broke the sixth seal; and with that there was a great earthquake, and the sun grew dark as sackcloth, and the whole moon blood-red;

 

The descriptions are not to be read as metaphorical. If it were, it is sufficient to say that the sun "became black", if the sun represented something else. The sun became black "as sackcloth of hair", or "grew dark as sackcloth"; this natural imagery gives us to see this event as actually being seen with natural vision. This applies equally to the rest. The whole moon became "as blood", not "the whole moon became blood".

Knox translated it as "the sun grew dark" and so the moon grew blood-red, so as not to be misunderstood as an instantaneous change. It happens simultaneously for both, not one after the other; it cannot be an eclipse, for both are seen when it begins to happen. It is implied that the sun is not seen at all, not even its corona.

 

Even as that is happening, the stars, seemingly, are no longer fixed:

 

6:13  And the stars from heaven fell upon the earth, as the fig tree casteth its green figs when it is shaken by a great wind:

 

K~  the stars of heaven fell to earth, like unripe fruit shaken from a fig-tree, when a high wind rocks it;

As the sun is darkening, and the sky, and what appears to be a meteor shower becomes visible. It looks like the stars are tossed about as figs will do in a storm. It becomes more visible as the darkness increases.

The use of 'natural' imagery is emphatic here. The movement of the 'falling stars' is so swift and violent it is compared to a wind strong enough, as a hurricane, to throw unripe figs from a tree.

6:14  And the heaven departed as a book folded up: and every mountain, and the islands were moved out of their places.

K~  the sky folded up like a scroll, and disappeared; no mountain, no island, but was removed from its place.

 

Even as the sun is darkening and the apparent meteor shower is ongoing, it appears as though, from one end to another, the stars fade out, as though they are being taken away. Similar to how a storm front with its cloud line moves across the sky, until the blue of the sky is obscured.

The last part is not the same. There is not the same use of 'natural' imagery; it is merely said that points such as mountains, with their peaks, and islands, points of land above the sea, was moved from its proper place. In the context of the previous, it is likely that they represent points of communication through the earth, whether through radio (mountains) or satellites ('islands') in the sky. The event crashes the internet and interferes with all radio communications.[15]

6:15  And the kings of the earth, and the princes, and tribunes, and the rich, and the strong, and every bondman, and every freeman, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of mountains:
 

K~  The kings of the world with their noblemen and their captains, men of wealth and of strength, all alike, slaves and free men, took shelter in caves and rock-fastnesses among the hills.

Whomever is outside, hastens to get inside, away from the darkened sky of falling stars; all are affected, no matter their rank or station. The "caves and rock-fastnesses" are underground areas or large buildings in big cities (the hills).

 

6:16  And they say to the mountains and the rocks: Fall upon us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth upon the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb:

 

K~  Fall on us, they said to the hills and the rocks, and hide us from the presence of him who sits on the throne, and from the vengeance of the Lamb.

 

 6:17  For the great day of their wrath is come, and who shall be able to stand?

 

K~  Which of us can stand his ground, now that the great day, the day of their vengeance, has come?  

 

This suggests either that they see this as the end of the world or else they are expecting a punishment from God for a particular reason. The last verse indicates they think it is beginning to happen even then. There is a reason for this:

 

It Will Be Called 'The Warning'

 

The world is not forewarned of this event. It is interpreted after the event. The description of the 'Warning' is as follows (from Garabandal.org):

 

"First, a World-Wide Warning that will happen in the sky...like the collision of two stars that do not fall down... it will frighten all humanity regardless of where one happens to be at the time... it will be a thousand times worse than earthquakes... like a fire that will not burn our flesh ... it will last a very short time, although to us it will seem to be a very long time ... no one can prevent it from happening ... It will be recognized as coming from God... it will resemble a punishment ... it is meant to be a purification ... like the revelation of our sins and what we will feel in our hearts will be worse than sorrow. It will not kill us, if we die it will be caused by the emotion within us. The date was not revealed only that it will happen before the announcement of the miracle".[16]

Conchita wrote: "The warning comes directly from God and will be visible to the whole world and from any place where anyone many happen to be. It will be like the revelation of our sins and it will be seen and felt by everyone, believer and unbeliever alike irrespective of whatever religion he may belong to. It will be seen and felt in all parts of the world and by every person".[17]

 

The "collision of two stars" is the only detail for which there is no direct parallel in the Apocalyptic text. Of this whole event, some details are given in Apocalypse, and the other details are from Garabandal. Given the proliferation of the Apocalyptic text in the world, many will not miss the description of the event as the sixth seal; however, attention will be diverted from that to Garabandal, given how it appears to be a fulfillment of more recent prophecy. "Like a collision of two stars that do not fall down" could be the collision of two comets or asteroids in such a way as to result in the formation of a dust cloud which then obscures the sun, the stars and the moon and envelops the earth.

If Apocalypse and Garabandal describe the same event, then either St. John was not shown that part or he omitted it for some unknown reason. The result of this omission, if that it what it is, will be to differentiate the two events in people's minds.[18]

"It will happen in the sky" and "will be visible to the whole world and from any place" describes the event perfectly in general terms. "And from any place" would also be from electronic devices, at least until the system goes offline.

"It will be a thousand times worse than earthquakes" is an interesting comparison, given that St. John's account of the event begins with "a great earthquake". The collision of the "two stars that do not fall down", if it is not a metaphor by the Garabandal seers, will probably precede this by a short time.

"Like a fire that will not burn our flesh" is the reflected light of the red moon upon all those who are outside during the event.

 

The details of Apocalypse and Garabandal are different, yet they concern the same event. The seers declined to give certain details: "I am not able to say what it consists of but I am able to say what it will be like, more or less. It is a phenomenon which will be seen and felt in all the world and everywhere, etc".[19] Perhaps it consists of the details as given by St. John.

The 'Purification Of Conscience'

Verses fifteen to seventeen describe the world's reaction as of believing the world is coming to an end. St. John describes them as wanting to hide from God and His Son, fearing Their imminent wrath. This appears to square with Garabandal's description of the effect of one's revelation of his sins as though being confronted with them by Heaven: "What we will feel in our hearts will be worse than sorrow". 

"The Warning is like a purification for the Miracle. And it is a sort of a catastrophe. It will make us think of the dead, that is, we would prefer to be dead than to experience the Warning".[20] This seems to describe the mindset of those who, in so many words, say in verse sixteen: "And they say to the mountains and the rocks: Fall upon us, and hide us from the face of him, etc"; and similar for the Knox translation: ""Fall on us, they said to the hills and the rocks, and hide us, etc". It cannot be taken other than that they wish to be buried in that moment.[21]

 

"It will be seen and felt by everyone, believer and unbeliever alike irrespective of whatever religion he may belong to" and "it will be seen and felt in all parts of the world and by every person" is an exact parallel to verse fifteen: "The kings of the world with their noblemen and their captains, men of wealth and of strength, all alike, slaves and free men, took shelter etc". The only exceptions will be those who say the rosary every day and have persevered in the Faith, or have found it, despite Vatican '2'. They are spiritual children of Our Lady of Fatima, and as such will not be affected by the dictates of a false prophecy.[22]

 

The devil is capable of using natural phenomena for his own purposes, as appears to be the case with the sixth seal event. If it was always going to happen, then it marks a limit on the time the devil has to extend his influence in the world: "the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, knowing that he hath but a short time" (Apoc. 12:12).

"It will be recognized as coming from God" and "the warning comes directly from God, etc". It will appear that way to many; it is actually from the devil, but God will permit it:

 

The "purification of conscience" is an effect which is more than psychological, i.e. caused by the fear of the event. It will be effected by the devil and his allies, who were thrown down in the battle of Heaven of the twelfth chapter: "And that great dragon was cast out...and his angels were thrown down with him" (Apoc. 12:9). This effect may be called 'the Accusation'. Those who say the rosary and are faithful will not be 'accused' by him, who is called the Accuser: "the accuser of our brethren is cast forth, who accused them before our God day and night./ And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of the testimony, and they loved not their lives unto death" (Apoc. 12:10-11). The "word of the testimony" is the Message of Fatima, and they will be called, and elect.

 

 

The 'Miracle' Is Not Of Heaven: The Seventh Seal

At this time, the world's attention is drawn to Rome and to Garabandal. The 'Miracle' is supposed to take place "within a year of the Warning", whether within the same year or within twelve months is uncertain.[23] After the sixth seal event, which the world will come to see as 'the Warning', the elect are signed as St. John describes in chapter seven.[24] The world is not aware of this when it happens, it would seem, but it will be made known shortly thereafter. In the meantime, the world awaits 'the Miracle' to prove that Garabandal really is true.[25]

"[After 'the Warning'] Second, A miracle is to occur in Garabandal within 12 months after the Warning... It will be on a Thursday at 8:30 p.m. on a feast-day of a martyred Saint for the Eucharist ...( not a feast-day of Our Lady or Our Lord) ... it will happen in the month of April... between the 7th and the 17th of the month but not the 7th or the 17th... it will be seen by looking up over the area of the Pines and will be visible from all the surrounding mountainside which will serve as a "natural" amphitheater. (Note: millions of people could easily fit around the mountain area.)The sick will be cured...the unbelievers will be converted...

Conchita knows the nature of the great miracle as well as the exact date and she will announce the date eight days before it happens. The means of communicating the date to the world will be a miracle in itself. It will be able to be filmed, photographed and televised.

Third, a Permanent Sign will remain at Garabandal in memory of the miracle as visible proof of our Blessed Mother's love for all humanity. It will be a "thing" never before seen upon the earth. It can be photographed by not touched".[26]

This event will give to the beast, the reigning antipope at the time, his mandate as if from Heaven. St. Paul tells us "He will come, when he comes, with all Satan’s influence to aid him; there will be no lack of power, of counterfeit signs and wonders;" (2 Thess. 2:9 Knox).

The message is ostensibly given to the world to prevent 'the Punishment'; and all people will be called to pledge themselves to Rome, and the dictates of the reigning beast at the time (Apocalypse chapter thirteen). The truth of the matter is that there is no way to avert the chastisement of the world, so those who do not love the truth (2 Thess. 2:11) will suffer both the chastisement in this world and in the next (Apoc. 13:8).

This false sign signals the opening of the seventh seal:[27]

8:1  And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven, as it were for half an hour.

 

K~  Then he broke open the seventh seal; and, for about half an hour, there was silence in heaven.

 

However 'the Miracle' is accomplished, it is clear that Heaven says nothing at the time. Heaven has nothing to do with it. Afterwards, the chastisement which cannot be prevented is prepared:

 

8:2  And I saw seven angels standing in the presence of God; and there were given to them seven trumpets.

 

K~   And now I saw seven trumpets given to the seven angels who stand in God’s presence.

 

8:3  And another angel came, and stood before the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given to him much incense, that he should offer of the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar, which is before the throne of God.

 

K~  There was another angel that came and took his stand at the altar, with a censer of gold; and incense was given him in plenty, so that he could make an offering on the golden altar before the throne, out of the prayers said by all the saints.

 

Despite knowing what is to happen, those who believe the truth pray that the chastisement be averted.

 

8:4  And the smoke of the incense of the prayers of the saints ascended up before God from the hand of the angel.

K~  So, from the angel’s hand, the smoke of the incense went up in God’s presence, kindled by the saints’ prayer.

 

8:5  And the angel took the censer, and filled it with the fire of the altar, and cast it on the earth, and there were thunders and voices and lightnings, and a great earthquake.

 

K~  Then the angel took his censer, filled it up with fire-brands from the altar, and threw it down on to the earth; thunder followed, and mutterings, and lightning, and a great earthquake.

The prayers are not accepted. If the world puts its hope in the beast and these 'signs and wonders', they will no longer be found in the Book of Life (Apoc. 13:8) and further prayers will not avail. Some may convert in time.

8:6  And the seven angels, who had the seven trumpets, prepared themselves to sound the trumpet.

K~  And now the seven angels with the seven trumpets made ready to sound them.

This is called a 'conditional punishment'[28] but it will unconditionally happen. That they think it might be averted is a punishment in itself.

Addendum

(Mar. 24/25)  Regarding the effect the 'Warning' ("illumination of conscience") has on the world as opposed to the elect: Those who are aligned with the beast/antipope may well believe that, if the elect are not affected, it is because they are allied with the devil. Whereas the truth is, they are not affected because they say the Rosary. But individuals will choose what they want to believe, according to their predilection for the truth, or not.

(May 15/25)  The existence of underground cities constructed by the 'elites' (the 'mystery of iniquity') cannot be confirmed due to the 'operation of error' major media and plausible deniability, but verses 15-16, in which everyone tries to go underground to escape the event, suggests that they exist.

5.  We are not interested in providing additional proofs for this. One believes it or not. The purpose here is to demonstrate how the Apocalypse itself shows it.

 

6.  That is to say, not only are the legitimate Mass and pre-Vatican '2' goers absent, but not even those with minimum Catholic sense were present. This happened in many places in the world, simultaneously, for the first time in 2020.

 

7.  The injection was not tied to a religious intention, so this cannot be the 'mark' of Apoc.13: 16-17.

 

8.  They are not necessarily Catholic at this time, but when they refuse the 'mark of the beast' it will be because they see the antipope as such, as they had seen the 'pandemic' for what it was not.

 

9.  Their martyrdoms would be fulfilled later. The number of them is not necessarily specific; they are "filled up" when all qualify themselves who believe the truth. The event of this seal provided the impetus. It also prefigures the few who would resist what the whole world appears to think is true, because they know it is not true (see Apoc. 13:8).

 

9A.  Let us say, for arguments' sake, that the whole thing was a staged psyop: In that sense, the martyrs' "How long, O Lord, etc" is in the sense as of disbelief in the many layers of the deception of the 'operation of error'. Seeing the world mourn a martyr who is not a martyr (if a psyop) but would be a kind of martyr for a great deal of the truth at least, and derided by the other part of the world as if he were a true Catholic martyr, but is not (again, if a psyop); because the 'operation of error' is so great that someone who is nominally half-Catholic (in the classic, true sense) in principles and in philosophy at least, qualifies as a kind of martyr for the principle of truth. In short, the idea of someone being 'martyred' for even a certain, if incomplete, level of truth (whether it was a psyop or not) and having such a polarizing and revealing effect on both sides might explain the complaint of the souls under the altar of the 5th Seal.

9B.  It is explored in "The Two Timelines Of Apocalypse (Part Three)" in particular.

 

9C.  In the previous footnote [9A] is what the martyrs' statement would mean if the seal were opened now instead of 2020. The original interpretation, which we still hold, held that the particular event which opened the seal represented something which did not actually exist (conjob19), so it could not be indicated without 'legitimizing' it. Now if this murder was a psyop, it, too, represented something which did not exist, but is treated as though it did. In this sense the reference to the martyrs fits very well in that they complain that one is treated as a martyr as they are if he is not one at all.

11.  This article deals with the question of the authenticity of the apparitions, not so much whether there were apparitions as whether they are of Heaven: https://introiboadaltaredei2.blogspot.com/2019/11/garabandal.html. Briefly, there is the large number of reputed apparitions (whereas Fatima had six); the seers' walking backwards at times (sign of demonic influence); and that it attempts to supplant Fatima. Those who are destined to be signed as elect (Apoc. 7) will stay with Fatima and avoid Garabandal.

13.  The world will be convinced it is to only way to be saved, and to escape the "Punishment": "And all that dwell upon the earth adored him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb, which was slain from the beginning of the world" (Apoc. 13:8).

15.  It would appear the be the effects of the earth passing through a dust cloud in space. Where it is from is unknown, but it would appear to be unexpected, as the remaining verses suggest. It has to be dense enough to obscure the sun, but not enough to destroy the satellite system (which is necessary for further events to unfold). As the moon appears to be visible at least for a time, this 'cloud' would seem to pass first between the earth and the sun.

 

Is the "whole moon red as blood" visible from all parts of the world, as a whole moon ? If the speculative dust cloud can reflect the sun's light back outward toward the moon, it seems possible. On the other hand, it could be that the moon was visibly full over Jerusalem, or over Rome, or over another place which would be significant, such as the eastern US seaboard; perhaps New York.

18.  "If it is the fulfillment of that prophecy, then it cannot be the other one", as many might be thinking. Many will prefer the possibility of escaping worldwide chastisement, as Garabandal appears to offer, rather than suffer through the events described in Apocalypse. Many might even refuse to perceive the Apocalypse, preferring to believe it concerns a future time.

It will be as though we were in agony but we will not die by its effects but perhaps we will die of fright or shock to see ourselves".

 

22.  Garabandal does not say this, but it must be true, if the elect are to be chosen. Again, a false prophecy fulfilled is still false, if it is not of Heaven. The devil is capable of this "set-up and payoff". As for the "two stars" that "collide and do not fall down", or if it is just a dust cloud in space that the earth was destined to pass through eventually, the devil, with his angelic intelligence, is capable of using that.

24.  The seventh seal and 2 Thessalonians 2 will both be treated in this post.

25.  The danger of the Cassiciacum Thesis, that the novus ordo hierarchy are materially but not formally valid, is that the Garabandal phenomenon may legitimize them in people's minds, and even the members of said hierarchy will see this as a Divine mandate to do as they think is right, which includes all the errors of Vatican '2'.
