The same as the Earth had its start and birth, will the Earth have its end and death as well? Will it face its complete destruction and finally be gone? Well, we really do not know and neither could tell. But somehow at the back of our minds, the thought of the possibility of what is called "our doomsday" brings us quite to believe and thus question:
When? Are our days counted?
How? Would history repeat itself?
Why? Are we being punished?
Time seems to tick faster and faster each day. We wake up and realize how we've become that we have grown, developed, and changed. As this reality influences our character and belief, we eventually learn to appreciate the beauty of life and have loved the world that the "end of the world" concept really gets us into thinking about what is to happen and how true would this be.
DOOMSDAY is a hot and serious topic of our inquisitive minds these times especially that many predictions about it have arisen from various institutions in our community, along with it the latest intrigued movie,
2012. The movie was a depiction of how the earth would become during its doom on the said date, December 21, 2012, as what was told by a calendar of the olden times, the Mayan Calendar. The calendar reveals the last date accounted which is December 21, 2012 to be the end of the world, the
Mayan Calendar 2012 Prophecy. Aside from this, many other theories and predictions are told and created about the world's end like:
Aliens from Outer Space,
Biblical Prophecies of Armageddon, Scientific Experiments,
Solar Flares,
Biological Warfare,
Giant Meteor or Asteroid,
Planet X: Nibiru,
Nostradamus 2012, etc. But apart from these human theories, prophecies, and predictions, there is this particular and special and divine prophecy about the world from a certain holy one whom Catholics renowned to be as
Our Lady of Fatima.
The
Our Lady of Fatima had an apparition at Fatima in Portugal on the year 1917 to three children namely Lucia, Jacinta, and Francisco. Our Lady had sent the so-called
Three Secrets of Fatima from God to these children for the conversion of the world. The children were told by Our Lady of Fatima to write her messages (secrets) so that it may be a guide for the people to change; in time these messages will be read and will create change over the earth. This we believe is a consecrated one, although there are people who would not take this seriously and would just take this for granted, we find it very strong to consider and believe in to. In line with this, we pasted below an account of the Secret of Fatima for a better consideration and acceptance of it.
Lucia reveals the 3rd secret of Fatima
" The Virgin told Lucia: "Go my child and tell the world; what will come to pass during the 1950's - 2000's. Men are not practicing the Commandments that our Father has given us. Evil is governing the world and is harvesting hate and resentment all over. Men will fabricate mortal weapons that will destroy the world in minutes, half of the human race will be destroyed, the war will begin against Rome, and there will be conflicts amongst religious orders. God will allow all natural phenomena like smoke, hail, cold, water, fire, floods, earthquakes, winds and inclement weather to slowly batter the planet. These things will come to pass before the year 2010. "Those who won't believe, this is the time," your beloved mother told you, "those lacking charity towards others and those who do not love thy neighbor like my beloved Son has loved you, all, cannot survive.
Father Augustin said that she received him greatly overwhelmed and told him: "Father, our lady is very sad because nobody is interested in her prophecy of 1917, though the righteous are walking through a narrow path, the evil ones are walking through an ample road that is leading them straight to their destruction, believe me father, the punishment will come very soon." Many souls will be lost; many nations will disappear from the earth. But, in the middle of all these, if men reflect, pray and practice good deeds, the world can be saved. One of all these, if men persist with its evil, the world will be lost forever. The time has come for all to pass on the message of our Blessed Lady to their families, friends, and to the entire world. Start praying, to make penitence and sacrifices. We are at the last minute of the last day and the catastrophes are near. Due to this, many that were far from the church will return to the open arms of the Church of Jesus Christ . The joining of the churches will result in one Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church ; England , Russia , China , Jews, Muslims and Protestants. All will return believing and worshiping God our creator, in his beloved Son and in our Blessed Mother Virgin Mary".
WHAT AWAITS US? Every where there will be "Peace Talks", but punishment will come.
A MAN IN A VERY IMPORTANT POSITION WILL BE ASSASSINATED AND THIS WILL PROVOKE THE WAR. A POWERFUL ARMY WILL DOMINATE ALL THROUGH EUROPEAN THE NUCLEAR WAR WILL COMMENCE.
This war will destroy everything, darkness will fall over us for 72 hours (three days) and the one third of humanity that survives this obscurity and sacrifice, will commence to live a new era, they will be good people. In a very cold night, 10 minutes before midnight ,
A GREAT QUAKE will shake the earth for 8 hours. This will be the third signal that God is who governs the earth. The righteous and those who propagate the faith and the message of the Lady of Fatima
SHOULD NOT FEAR, DO NOT BE AFRAID. WHAT TO DO?
Bow your heads, kneel down and ask God for forgiveness because, only what is good and is not under the power of evil will survive the catastrophe. In order for you to prepare and remain alive I will give you the following signs:
ANGUISH... AND IN A SHORT PERIOD THE EARTH QUAKE WILL COMMENCE... THE EARTH WILL SHAKE... The shake will be so violent that will move the earth 23 degrees and it will return it to its normal position. Then, total and absolute darkness will cover the entire planet... All evil spirits will be mingling around and free, doing harm to all those souls that did not want to listen to this message and those who did not want to repent. To the faithful souls, remember to light the blessed candles, prepare a sacred altar with a crucifix in order to communicate with GOD and implore for His infinite mercy... All will be dark;
IN THE SKY A GREAT MYSTIC CROSS will appear to remind us
the price that his beloved Son had to pay for our redemption...In the house the only thing that can give light will be the
HOLY CANDLES... Once lit, nothing will put them off until the three days of darkness are over. Also, you should have Holy water that should be sprinkled abundantly on windows and doors. The Lord will protect the property of the chosen ones. Kneel down before the powerful cross of my beloved Son, pray the Rosary and after each Hail Mary you must pray the following: "Oh God forgive us our sins, preserve us from the fire of hell, take all souls to heaven, specially those who are in more need of they mercy. Blessed Virgin Mary protect us, we love you, save us and save the world". Pray 5 Creeds and Rosary which is the secret to my Immaculate Heart. All those who believe in my words go and take the message to everyone.
DO NOT FEAR. FEAR NOTHING DURING THE LORD'S GREAT DAY.
Talk to all the souls. now that there is time, those who keep quiet will be responsible for all those souls who will perish in ignorance.
All those who pray humbly the rosary will have the protection of heaven and those who are bound to die I will help them die in peace and they will be holy when they enter the other world. I wish all my children to attend mass every first Friday and every first Saturday of each month, to confess and receive Holy Communion and in doing so, save the world from its
TOTAL DESTRUCTION. When the earth shakes no more, those who still not believe in our Lord will perish in a horrible way. The wind will bring gas and it will disperse it everywhere, then the sun will rise. Maybe you will survive this catastrophe. Do not forget that God's punishment is holy and
ONCE IT HAS STARTED YOU SHOULD NOT LOOK OUTSIDE, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCE, GOD DOES NOT WANT ANY OF HIS CHILDREN TO SEE WHEN HE PUNISHES THE SINNERS. All this encompasses with the writings of the Holy Scriptures. "
You see. How would that feel if that is what going to happen.
Doomsday, what a terrible word, a sad warning, an awakening thought.
With the world as the witness of the many remarkably desperate events that happened in this generation, would these be the signs of life's doom? Is that so? What are you going to believe in? Would you care? Or not? And if you do, should you fear? The answer depends on you. In the end, its your conviction and faith that does the decision and action whether to believe or not.
" But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in which the heavens shall pass away with great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought you to be in all holy conversation and godliness, looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein in the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? "
-- 2 Peter 3:10-12
