May 21st came and went and no Rapture.
One pastor was proven to be a 'false' prophet.
It's not hard to be a scoffer in these end times.
Afterall, 2,000 years have passed and still no Rapture.
The odds are always in favor of the scoffers.
The issue for me isn't is the Rapture Biblical or not?
The issue is, does God, in an act of mercy, choose to reveal apocalyptic events and timetables?
Many events and times have been revealed and published before the fact. Fatima is probaly the best known of the 20th century. The Mother of God revealed that World War I was about to end but unless mankind changed, a worse war would begin during the reign of Pope Pius XI. She also predicted the evils of Communism/Socialism. Several other predicted events have yet to occur.
The final Fatima apparition and miracle occurred in October 1917.
The Bolsheviks gained control of the Russian Revolution in the same month.
It is said that Jesus gave the devil 100 years to do his worst and who would argue the devil has been unbelievably successful?
I am convinced that events leading up to 2017 are going to reveal that God's warnings, delivered through the Mediatrix of ALL Grace, should not be ignored, even if one man got it wrong on May 21st.
It is easy to be a scoffer. It is just as easy to be a doomsayer.
Pope John XXIII called the children of Fatima doomsayers when he opened the council.
Pope Paul VI was a doomsayer himself soon after he closed it.
The choice is not between being a scoffer or a doomsayer.
The choice is between believing that the devil is winning but that the Mediatrix will be given the Grace to warn each of us and show us the truth before it is too late.
I choose to believe that a Merciful God will allow the Mediatrix to give us one more "Warning" before localised tribulations become universal.
God is so merciful. God knew that giving the devil that much power and time would have dire consequence, so I pray that through the intercession of the Mediatrix, each of us will experience an Illumination of Conscience.
The truth will kill some of us.
The truth will cause some of us to repent and be converted.
The truth will have no effect on some.
What greater grace could the Creator give the creature than the truth about the deceptions of the devil. I believe this Good God will not allow the Tribulation to become universal until the truth is revealed to each of us, individually and personally.
Daily, I pray for the Illumination of Conscience. That doesn't mean that I couldn't die in a flood, an earthquake or a tornado in the meantime. But the Mediatrix made certain promises to those who would make the Five First Saturdays of Reparation. I am counting on that promise just as much as I am counting on her predictions/prophecies.
What else is worth counting on other than the Mercy of a Good God?
I know I can count on God 's justice too, but I beg for mercy before justice.
