Footnotes - Third Secret Martyrdom Vision And Apocalypse 14

 

Footnotes

1.  This was thought by some to be staged, as a calculated risk, taken by Wojtyla in order to gain the sympathy and support of many. But to what end, other than the good of what was begun at Vatican '2' ?

2.  These only began to gain dominance in the market in the mid-2000's. In 2000 they were about 7%. It was only from that time that they commonly began to be really broad and narrow. Today they are ubiquitous, and are hung on a wall like a mirror. Everyone will be watching on these.

 

3.  Our Lady did not specify in what form it should be done, only that it be "in union with all the bishops of the world". As the 'bishop in white' is "the Holy Father", he, together with the few other bishops in the procession, could be doing this even in these last moments (or has done, during the canticle). Our Lady always requested that "the Holy Father" perform the consecration; She never said "the Pope"; and in the revealed secret She referred to Pope Pius XI simply as "Pius XI". Perhaps because the Papacy would in the future become "sede remota" ('seat moved/removed'), and not only "sede vacante", the title of "Pope", which refers to Rome, no longer applies to the Successor of Peter. He was not called 'Pope' either (the title would come later), but was understood to be "the Holy Father". The point of the removal of the Roman reference is that Rome ("Great Babylon") "is fallen, is fallen" and is destined to be destroyed in chapter eighteen.

The seat is no longer of the "bishop of Rome" but "of the world" perhaps; or of Fatima, Portugal. Sr. Lucia did unveil the first line of the third part of the secret: "In Portugal, the dogma of the faith will always be preserved, etc". How it is to be restored is unknown at this time.

Also, there is no way for most to perform the Five First Saturdays devotion, which was to be established together with the consecration of Russia, according to the text of the secret. A valid clergy is necessary; on the other hand, the First Saturdays devotion was established, and is not dependent upon the consecration for validity.

At this late stage, which is, as it were, the end (not of the world but of the era), the next stage of the chastisement of the world comes from the vials (chapter sixteen), and they cannot be stopped. The only way the reputed last line of the secret can be reconciled with the whole is if there is a short period of peace, enough time for the conversion of Russia, and for all the others who heeded the angel's "Penance! Penance! Penance!". In this sense, Russia as a whole will escape the end fated to those who still worship the antichrist. But this cannot be the case, since during the vials' duration, none can be saved: "And the temple was filled with smoke from the majesty of God, and from his power; and no man was able to enter into the temple, till the seven plagues of the seven angels were fulfilled" (Apoc. 15:8).

So the conclusion is that the last part of the secret is indeed a false add-on. Russia is in the same situation as all the other nations. The angel's call to penance is for all those in the world who wish their souls to be saved to follow the example of those whom they were even then watching on the television wide-screens, as Sr. Lucia had seen long before.

4.  By whom, and why was this allowed by those who should know better, is the question. But there are other reasons for this which we shall examine. See "Conclusion: Unmaking The Ring". For now it suffices to say that, if Russia was consecrated and converted, this is the same for Russia as if the book of life is unsealed.

5.  It has been said, or rather apparently St. Vincent said that he himself was the 'angel' who announced the next three woes: "And I heard, in my vision, words spoken by an eagle that flew across the middle part of heaven, crying aloud, Woe, woe, woe to all that dwell on earth, when those other calls are sounded by the three angels whose trumpets have yet to sound" (Apoc. 8:13~Knox).

 

6.  Haydock commentary:  "By Babylon, as observed before, may very probably be signified all the wicked world in general, whom God will punish and destroy after the short time of this mortal life: or may be signified every great city, and perhaps Rome returned to idolatry in the time of antichrist, a little before the end of the world, or may be signified the idolatry of heathen Rome, in the fourth age[century], when the Christian religion, under Constantine and his successors, began to triumph over paganism, i.e. according to those interpreters followed by Alcazar, Bossuet, P. Alleman, &c. which exposition Dr. Hammond thus expresseth: "the whole impure city of heathen Rome, under the title of Babylon, that old idolatrous city that had lain so heavy upon the people of God....should speedily be destroyed, for advancing the heathen worship (Witham)".

 

7.  As they are elect, it is expected that they should, but it does not mean they will not suffer. As we see in Sr. Lucia's vision, as the elect make their way, "before reaching there [where the cross stands] the Holy Father passed through a big city half in ruins and half trembling with halting step, afflicted with pain and sorrow, he prayed for the souls of the corpses he met on his way, etc".

8.  See "Apparition Of Chapter One". St. Joseph did appear with Our Lady and the Child Jesus after the miracle of the sun, according to Sr. Lucia. And that is all to indicate his future role in the Apocalyptic events.

 

9.  One cannot fail to see in this a parallel with the 'vaccine' campaign, due to Conjob19, from 2020-2022: It was argued that the only way to "stop the spread" was for everyone to get 'vaccinated' and that those who did not somehow caused the 'vaccine' to become ineffectual. So all who did not comply were blamed for the continuing presence of the 'virus' despite the fact that this is an inversion of how vaccines are supposed to work.

There are two ways in which this may be applied to the 'mark' of chapter thirteen. First, it may be admitted by those in power that Conjob19 was a deception, but now that their saviour (as they will see the antichrist) has come to correct everything, their previous errors (they might claim) was due to their being in darkness; and they now see their actions as 'falsely' prefiguring his mark or 'sign'. But this time it is true, we have repented, and followed the pope.

Second, nothing will be admitted to the effect that it was a deception, but many will not see it a prefigurement of the mark of the beast in any case. The first is more probable.

 

10.  This reference was included to demonstrate how, for Apocalypse in particular, the actual interpretation may be very different from how it was seen without the benefit of being actually in those times. It is also why we were not, for the most part, influenced by previous interpretations. It's not wrong, but it was yet unclear.

11.  From Haydock: "[the wicked] is again represented by the sickle, which is said to be put to the clusters of the vineyard: and they were cast into the great wine-press, or lake of the wrath of God, into hell, where the blood is said to come out even up to the horses' bridles, for a thousand and six hundred furlongs: a metaphorical way of expressing the exceeding great torments of the wicked in hell".

12.  The same as the seven spirits of God in Apocalypse 1:20 and 4:5. They are "girt about the breasts with golden girdles", same as St. John's apparition of chapter one.

13.  It is possible some may repent afterwards, but this cannot be known at this time.

14.  Pius XII did not 'fail'. He did what he was supposed to do. The ultimate goal is the unsealing of the book of life. This will be explained further in "Two Timelines" and "Conclusion: Unmaking The Ring".
