Empty Rome street with quote "COVID-19 panic is effectively a time-out imposed by God on a misbehaving humanity"

A Divine Time-Out

What do many parents do today when their children are misbehaving? They put them on a time-out. It is a way to stop children from doing wrong and get them to think about what they did and why not to do it again. It seems that the COVID-19 panic is effectively a time-out imposed by God on a misbehaving humanity, especially bad Catholics.
 

Sin Leads to Chastisement

If you believe the Word of God in the Bible, it is obvious that He sends punishments in response to man’s sins. He usually starts off with mild punishments, but more severe punishments are sent if there is no amending of ways, which shows His balance of justice and mercy. One message of Our Lady of Fatima was that World War I was a punishment for sin, but that if people did not stop offending God, a worse war would break out. People did not stop offending God and, as a result, World War II (WWII) broke out.

So, did people stop offending God after WWII? Hardly. Things have only continued to get worse. The sexual revolution of the 1960’s and the modernist revolution in the Church have led the world to a point where outward expressions of piety or decency are mocked or persecuted. So, you would expect that something worse than WWII would be coming.

This divine time-out is likely our chance at an examination of conscience and an amending of life before God decides to send that something worse. There are some prophecies that speak of an “illumination of conscience” before a chastisement. Could this be that moment? Since almost none of the Catholic laity can attend Mass, and many are forced to stay at home, this would be an excellent time to work on our personal holiness.

A small number of holy souls can avert the wrath of God. The sacrifice of the Martyrs of Compiègne – Carmelites who were executed in the French Revolution – brought the Reign of Terror to an end. Unfortunately, the traditional female religious have been almost completely wiped out by the modernist revolutionaries. Some have suggested that the laity will have to save the Church this time.
 

Prophecies For Our Time?

Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich said of a vision that she had on August 25, 1820 (Feast Day of King St. Louis IX):

“Then I saw an apparition of the Mother of God, and She said that the tribulation would be very great. She added that people must pray fervently with outstretched arms, be it only long enough to say three Our Fathers. This was the way Her Son prayed for them on the cross. They must rise at midnight and pray in this manner; and they must keep coming to the church. They must pray above all for the church of darkness to leave Rome … She said a great many other things that it pains me to relate. She said that if only one priest could offer the Bloodless Sacrifice as worthily and with the same disposition as the Apostles [like Padre Pio?], he could avert all the disasters.”

May God find some holy souls to do those things!

What we have here is the age-old battle between God and Satan being played out on earth. We know from the Bible that the culmination of evil in the reign of the Antichrist will happen shortly before the end of the world. But an Era of Peace has been promised by Our Lady of Fatima to happen before that. During this time the world will, according to various other prophecies, be governed by a French Monarch and a Holy Pope. Before the Era of Peace happens, Our Lady of La Salette said that the enemies of God would be put to death. Other prophecies say that this will happen during the Three Days of Darkness. So just how close are we getting to that?
 

One Hundred Years

A period of 100 years seems significant in this regard. It was 100 years between the request of Jesus to St. Margaret Mary Alacoque for the consecration of France to His Sacred Heart and the fall of the French monarchy. God told Satan in a vision of Pope Leo XIII that he was given 100 years to try to destroy the Church. Our Lady of Fatima requested the Consecration of Russia to Her Immaculate Heart on June 13, 1929 in a vision of Lucia of Fatima at Tuy, Spain. We are within less than 10 years of 2029. The clock is ticking.

So, the race to get Russia consecrated to the Immaculate Heart of Mary before the communists and their allies completely take over the Church and the world is on. The communists would seem to be in the lead right now, especially with their proven ability to panic society with the threat of a virus. They have every intention of using this induced panic to their maximum advantage. We know that Satan, the preternatural mastermind orchestrating the revolution against God, uses such events to enslave people to sin and materialism so that he can drag their souls to hell.
 

Evils on the Horizon?

It is easy to see how it could be required of a person to now prove their state of health in order to be able to move freely about in society once again. The world loves convenience and technology. If you had a microchip implanted under your skin, it could positively identify you and could store a record of your temperature and pulse that could be read by a scanner. It would be very convenient for buying and selling goods. Not having one could be very inconvenient. That sounds a lot like the mark of the beast (cf. Apocalypse 13:17). Maybe it is a good time to start thinking about developing Catholic self-sustaining communities.

Pope Francis has been pushing a new one-world religion since the Amazon Synod. He does not show any signs of backing off. The same chapter of the Apocalypse which mentions the mark of the beast also tells of the lamb that speaks as a dragon (cf. Apocalypse 13:11), who can be identified as the false prophet. This has been thought by various commentators to be a religious figure, or even a pope, who assists the Antichrist during his three-and-one-half-year reign. Sister Lucia stated that the Secret of Fatima was essentially contained in Chapters 8-13 of the Book of the Apocalypse.

We are not in the reign of the Antichrist, but history repeats itself and the period we are living in now is certainly a foreshadowing of that time. So, you would expect to see some strong parallels. One thing said to happen at the end of the world is the darkening of the sun. The prophecies of the French mystic Marie-Julie Jahenny say that there will be a partial day of darkness, a full day of darkness, and a two-day period of darkness before the Three Days of Darkness which will destroy God’s enemies. The two-day period is supposed to happen 37 days before the three days.
 

Time to “Get Holy”

Realizing that we are approaching the end-times, Catholics will certainly want to increase their personal holiness. Union with God is actually the ultimate goal. This is an excellent opportunity to work on that.


Editor’s Note: If you are intrigued by this article, you may likewise be interested in Mr. Bermingham’s book, The World from Beginning to End and the Era of Peace. This book provides a fascinating and logical connection of prophetic and historic dots from Adam to the Second Coming and shows how the ‘good versus evil’ theme in human history will most likely play itself out. Having scientific expertise, the author also addresses issues of Faith and reason, and the book serves as a kind of primer for numerous scientific possibilities regarding Creation and the Flood. I appreciate the author’s clear, matter-of-fact, succinct and thought-provoking style of writing. Every reader, even one with a Master’s Degree in Theology, will surely learn new things about the Catholic Faith from reading this book.

Both of his books are available at the kolbecenter.org or through Amazon.
