READERS, you have been through dreadful, even depressing prophecies in this column. Mystics have said that dire scenarios in such prophecies will be a last resort to save the most souls from eternal damnation.
But to think that the future is all bleak would be quite wrong: there is a future where a literal paradise, unprecedented in mankind's history since the fall of Adam and Eve, awaits us, and we are not short of mystics now sharing with us what Jesus Christ Himself told us to pray for: the Father's kingdom come, where His will is done on earth as it is in Heaven. This, we have prayed over 2,000 years and mystics say such kingdom is coming.
Such was told to mystic Edson Glauber of Itapiranga, Brazil. In 2010, Bishop Carillo Gritti approved a series of decades-long apparitions to Edson, declaring them to be of supernatural origin. Dr. Mark Miravalle, the world-renowned theologian and Mariologist who has become a critic of Fr.. Michel Rodriguez, wrote an entire book on The Three Hearts, revolving around Edson's mystic experiences.
On the coming kingdom of the Father, Edson quoted the Blessed Mother as having told him: "The Lord is returning to fulfill all his promises. His kingdom on earth will be as it is in Heaven. (July 8, 2000)
"Strive for the kingdom of heaven; not long remains before your and the world's definitive liberation from all evil. God is sending me, your Most Holy Mother, in order to prepare you for the great final battle against all evil...You are already in the times of the great transformations of the world and the Lord God is already marking his chosen ones, those who are obedient to Heaven's voice. (September 29, 2003)
"I desire [to have] saints for my kingdom of love. The earth will yet be a great paradise. First will come the sorrows, but then will come the great transformation, when all will be renewed and all things will be made new. Humanity will be revived in love and peace. Thus my kingdom on earth will be as in heaven. (March 23, 2004)
"There will be no more suffering. There will be no more weeping. God will wipe away the tears of all those who hope with patience and do not lose faith. Little children, take heart. Courage. A while more and everything will be transformed. (August 7, 2005)
Similar messages were also conveyed to mystic Pedro Regis of Anguera, Brazil, who also enjoys the support of his bishop.
From Heaven, Pedro was told by the Blessed Mother: "Very soon the world will be transformed into a new world, without hate or violence. The world will be a new garden and all will live happily. (October 8, 1988)
"I want you to be a part of the Lord's victorious army. The Lord has reserved a great Grace for His own. He will transform humanity into a new garden. When all this happens the world will abound with goods and man will lack nothing. It will be a time when the fruits of trees will be multiplied and there will be two crops per year. Hunger will no longer exist for humanity. (June 3, 2000)
"Whatever happens, stay with Jesus. He is in control of everything. Trust in Him and you will see the transformation of the earth. Humanity will be made new by the Mercy of Jesus. A great sign from God will appear, and mankind will be astonished. Those separated will be led to the truth and great faith will possess the elect of the Lord. (December 24, 2011)
"Those who remain faithful until the end will be called blessed by the Father. Do not allow the flame of faith to be extinguished within you. You still have long years of trials ahead of you, but the great day is coming. My Jesus will give you the grace to live in complete peace. The Earth will be completely transformed and all will live joyfully." (December 24, 2013)
Meanwhile a few years ago. CArdinal Raymond Burke strongly endorsed the book In Sinu Jesu: When Heart Speaks to Heart-The Journal of a Priest at Prayer, which compiled messages from Heaven as conveyed starting 2007 to an anonymous Benedictine monk who had the support of his spiritual director.
The book quoted Jesus as having told the monk:."My Immaculate Mother will instruct [priests] and, by her all-powerful intercession, obtain for them all the charisms necessary to prepare the world -- this sleeping world -- for My return in glory. I tell you this not to alarm you or to frighten anyone, but to give you cause for an immense hope and for pure spiritual joy. The renewal of My priests will be the beginning of the renewal of My Church ...I will undo the destruction [the demons] have wrought and I will cause My priests and My Spouse the Church to recover a glorious holiness that will confound My enemies and be the beginning of a new era of saints. (March 2, 2010)
"The day is coming, and it is not far off ... when I will intervene to triumph in My Eucharistic Heart by the conquering power of sacrificial love alone; when I will intervene to defend the poor and vindicate the innocents whose blood has marked this nation and so many others as did the blood of Abel in the beginning. (November 12, 2008)
"If more souls would give Me this freedom to act as I will, My Church would begin to know the springtime of holiness that is My burning desire for her. These souls, by their entire submission to all the dispositions of My providence, will be the ones to usher in My kingdom of peace and holiness on earth."
Also in the diocese of Ischia in Southern Italy in 1994, Our Lady of Zaro started to appear to members of a prayer group. One time, the Blessed Mother told them about the coming kingdom of the Father thus: "Behold, when my heart will triumph everything will shine more than the sun." (December 26, 2018)
"... everything stops: evil disappears, the screams and pain, the dead are gone, a great peace reigns and a single prayer is heard rising to heaven... My beloved children, learn to say to the Lord 'Thy Will be done' and learn to accept it. (August 8, 2018)
"Go forward with courage and with the weapon of the Holy Rosary in your hands, pray for the salvation of souls and for the conversion of all humanity. Hard times await you, but do not turn away, be perseverant, because with your prayer and your suffering you can save many souls. My children, your ears will hear distant noises and clashes of war, the earth will yet tremble, but I am with you, do not be afraid; after the tribulation there will be peace and my Immaculate heart will triumph." (May 8, 2018)
Mystics say this will be for some generations, until the end of the world.
