A Chronicle Depicting the Lateness of the Hour

April 30, 1998

Happy Birthday, Israel!!!

Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, Israel marks the 50th anniversary on the Hebrew calender of its declaration of independence. High-profile guests from around the world will join Israelis in celebrations across the country.

At the main ceremony in Jerusalem Thursday night, thousands will view scenes depicting various aspects of Israeli history and culture, including the Holocaust, the Israeli flag, independence, children of Israel, wars in defence of the state, immigration, and Jerusalem. US vice-president Al Gore will join President Ezer Weizmann, Jerusalem mayor Ehud Olmert and other Israeli leaders at this event.

Jubilee years don't come by often enough to take them for granted. In Israel's case, each passing year has demonstrated God's hand on His ancient people, and His faithfulness to the promises in His word. It is, indeed, "a time to rejoice".

Severe meteor storms coming this fall

In November, the Earth’s atmosphere will be hit with the most severe meteor shower in 33 years, a bombardment of debris that could damage or destroy some of the nearly 500 satellites that provide worldwide communications, navigation and weather-watching. The debris consists only of particles — some thinner than a strand of hair and most no larger than a grain of sand — but they are hurtling through space so fast that they can have the destructive power of a .22-caliber bullet.

Aid agencies worry about looming famine in Sudan

THIEKTHOU, Sudan (AP) - An 8-year girl stumbled to the end of a line of 300 Sudanese waiting passively in the heat and dust for handouts of food, then collapsed into a heap.

``Between 10,000 and 50,000 people are in immediate danger of dying from starvation if the aid program is not increased,'' said Els Matthieu of Doctors Without Borders, an international medical aid group.

EL NINO/EARTHQUAKE CONNECTION

Over the past 100 years, there were 26 recorded El Ninos. During *each* one, California has suffered at least two severe quakes. Often as many as 5 or 6. Take a look. The worst quake so far was the 8.3 (that's Richter scale) quake that tore San Francisco to pieces in 1906. 1905-06 also happens to mark the first major El Nino of this century.

The last El Nino was 1993-95. And guess what happened... In 1994, the Northridge quake slammed L.A. and caused over $4 billion in damages. ...What's the connection?

It all comes down to water weight. You see, one square mile of sea water... just one foot deep... weighs 920,000 tons. If the water is 20 feet deep, the weight is 20 times that. Now imagine all that weight pressing down on the ocean floor.

* With this year's massive El Nino effect, the pressure has been heavier than ever...

News from Garabandal (From an Internet Friend)

Peace and Joy to your beautiful hearts.

Arrived home on Monday night, April 20 from two weeks in Garabandal with Maria Saracco and over 100 pilgrims. It's taken me this long to go through over 450 messages in my e-mail mostly from this list. Our daily routine in Garabandal is 8:00 PM Mass....an incredible Mass over an hour with 2 Marian priests who believe in the messages . No Eucharistic ministers were used at any of the Masses. One of the priests is 80 years old...50 years a priest and heard confessions EVERY DAY for anyone who was interested. We were all interested. After Mass is a simple breakfast...bread and butter and jelly and little cakes and hot coffee with hot milk. Touring of the village and wonderful narratives from Maria who has been part of Garabandal for 35 years and was there for the last apparition. Trying to get up the Pines each day but we had rain for 12 days which made it quite difficult. If I was a tourist on vacation I would not have been a happy camper but I am a pilgrim and our spirit never wavered. We speculated about the warning and the miracle just as we do here but the wonderful thing about it is that just about every person you speak to is on the same channel. Did we disagree sometimes? Oh yes..just like here. After Lunch 3 hours in front of the Blessed Sacrament praying for priests. 3 rosaries and the Chaplet. Videos in the evening and some times speakers. An eye witness (Pepe') who was there when the archangel Michael placed the communion on Conchita's tongue. Wow...he was something!!!

I got lost there and almost ended without telling you what happened while we were away. I was with a couple who have 8 grown children and they commented that they hoped all was well with them since we were gone for 2 weeks. Well I received a call the day after we came home from my friends that one of their sons who had been away from the church and the sacraments for a long time went to Divine Mercy on Mercy Sunday and went to confession (at my church....which is not their parish)So while they were praying for their son in Garabandal he was being touched here in Connecticut. PRAISE JESUS!!!

Netanyahu Leads Holocaust March At Auschwitz

OSWIECIM, Poland (CWNews.com) - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday led a march at the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camps, along with thousands of others, to remember the Holocaust and the 1.5 million Jews killed in the camps by the Nazis.

Netanyahu, accompanied by Polish Prime Minister Jerzy Buzek, walked with about 6,500 youth and 1,000 survivors of the camps. "We are here together, young and old. We came here to cry," Israeli parliamentarian Shevah Weiss said before the "March for the Living." Up to 6 million Jews were killed by the Nazi Germans during World War II as part of their Final Solution. Although the march has been held annually since 1988, it held special meaning this year because participants will also mark the 50th anniversary of the founding of the state of Israel, which received its impetus from the slaughter of the Jews dispersed throughout Europe.

Moon, Venus, and Jupiter

One of the "must-see" skywatching events of 1998 takes place early tomorrow, as Venus, Jupiter, and the crescent Moon congregate in the eastern sky. They're so close to each other that you can cover up all three with your thumb held out at arm's length.

Venus and Jupiter stand side by side, with Venus to the left, Jupiter to the right. Venus is by far the brighter of the two. Both planets are just above and to the right of the very thin crescent Moon.

A third planet actually joins the others in the early-morning sky, but it's so low that it's very tough to find. The planet is Mercury. It's well below and to the left of the other two. On Friday morning, the Moon will stand just to its right, making Mercury a little easier to pick out.

The Agony of Pope John Paul II

The third salient element in these last days and months of His Holiness is what many unprejudiced observers describe as the palpable hate or profound dislike of Pope John Paul which they detect as a constant reaction to this man who apparently has pleased no one, has never injured anyone, who went out of his way to love everyone, and who from the beginning of his Pontificate in October 1978 has been regarded as an unwelcome stranger. He never acquired romanitá, and he never understood its use. Never in modern times was any pope more deserving of our prayers and more needy for special graces between this moment and his last breath drawn on Earth.

Jury declares anti-abortion activists used extortion

CHICAGO (AP) - In an unusual use of a racketeering law designed to fight the mob, a federal jury ruled Monday that anti-abortion protest organizers used threats and violence to shut down clinics - a verdict that could cost the movement millions.

``This is the biggest courtroom defeat for the anti-abortion movement ever,'' declared Fay Clayton, an attorney for the National Organization for Women, which filed the lawsuit in 1986.

Feminists were elated by the decision.

``A jury of six men and women saw through the thugs' shameless attempt to the First Amendment,'' NOW President Patricia Ireland said.

Faith

Faith knows nothing of external guarantees -- that is, of course, faith
as an original experience of the life of the
Spirit. It is only in the secondary esoteric sphere of the
religious life that we find guarantees and a general attempt to
compel faith. To demand guarantees and proofs of faith is to
fail to understand its very nature by denying the free, heroic
act which it inspires. In really authentic and original
religious experience, to the existence of which the history of
the human spirit bears abundant witness, faith springs up
without the aid of guarantees and compelling proofs, without
any external coercion or the use of authority.

Our Lady of Emmitsburg Message on April 16, 1998

My dear little children, praise be Jesus!

The time is coming, little ones, when Jesus will create a new heaven on earth. Pain and suffering will cease, and His people will live not only a mere few years but rejoice in the fullness of life. Yes, your merciful Lord is coming and shall renew the face of the earth. You, beloved children, will leap with joy. Your hardships will be forgotten and you will no longer grieve or go hungry. The Lord will be your delight.

The time is approaching when the world will be renewed. First, however, this world will be purged of its crimes against God. Jesus has waited to respond to those in need, but few have asked for His assistance. Many people have chosen to walk evil ways and follow their own thoughts instead of following the path of God's truth. Many have forsaken Him and have displeased Him. They are making their own destiny.

But Jesus, your merciful God, will save and protect all those who desire to be with Him. He will grant the necessities of life to sustain you. Do not fear, you who are devoted to Him and glorify Him. Jesus will defend you. Be at peace and know He is your merciful Savior. He will not forget you. He will save you from darkness.

I bless you in His name. Peace to you. Thank you for responding to My call. AD DEUM.

Church investigating priest said to be suffering from the stigmata

ST. JOHN'S, Antigua (AP) - Parishioners say a Roman Catholic priest on this Caribbean island has ``stigmata'' - bleeding wounds similar to those Christ suffered when he was nailed to the cross.

A doctor said the Rev. Gerard Critch did not respond to medical treatment. The local diocese said in a statement ``that something unusual took place is undeniable.''

Parishioners who touched Critch at a Mass last week said they were thrown to the floor by an invisible force, or felt injuries healed.

``The wounds were real,'' said R. Allen Stanford, an American banker, who carried the priest to a car. He said oil was oozing from the marks on his feet, as it did from Jesus'.

Religious experts say stigmatization has been recorded more than 300 times since the 13th century. It happens most often during Passiontide, the two weeks before Easter.

PADRE PIO

The first priest in the history of the Church to bear the stigmata - was blessed by God with many supernatural gifts: discernment of spirits, prophecy, healing and more. He is a powerful intercessor. Pope John Paul II holds Padre Pio up as a model for all priests and seminarians.

MESSAGE VIA CAROL AMECHE - APRIL 4, 1998

Jesus said: "My dearest one, you may take these words of comfort and solace:

I am your CRUCIFIED Lord. I come with a Body full of wounds caused by the INDIFFERENCE of My faithful children! You are by no means alone in your disobedience and selfishness." [which Jesus had been showing me all week! -C.A.] "The wounds in My Heart are increased daily by the carelessness of those who think they are serving Me and are without blemish, without pain of sin. Your suffering, daughter, must be offered for all those who are not aware of their weaknesses. It is so necessary that all be completely purified at this time.

It is necessary for each of you to take so very seriously the words of My Father, of My Holy Mother, and of Myself and Our Spirit. NO ONE is praying ENOUGH!

For this next week I desire all action but the MOST necessary chores, to STOP in the lives of My Remnant people.

If you are to survive this time of the Tribulation and suffering imposed by the Anti-Christ and his followers, you will need to be emptied of ALL stain of sin and be filled with My strength, My goodness, My power, and My Presence. You must be living tabernacles for those who will need to find Me within the darkness of his reign.

You must turn away totally and at all times from the world, and remain with Me in silence and peace, and be open to the grace and healing I desire to give to each of you.

Make no mistake, My faithful ones, it is necessary now to completely DIE to your own will, your own desires, your own waste of time in frivolous pastimes. The Will of My Father MUST fill your plans for every moment of each day.

The pleading of My mother for increased prayer for the salvation of souls, and the repeated requests for a greater amount of time spent before Me in My Sacrament, MUST BE ANSWERED wholeheartedly by each of you IMMEDIATELY!

Remember all the preparation you have made to be ready for these final events of this time before the illumination of your minds to the state of your souls as your God and Creator sees them. You have remained true to these requests and are nearly fully prepared to serve Me through your brothers and sisters.

Until this Warning occurs so very, very immediately, it is very necessary that you answer this call for all of your time and attention to a focus on My Face, and My Father's plans and need of you. You will help the Triune God with your service and aid to His Lost Souls. They will need every sort of help and support from you.

I can NOT too strongly state the importance of the mission each of you is being given now.

I can NOT repeat too often how much I love ALL of Our children, and long to hold and comfort and heal each one in the world.

There are so many gifts to receive, so much joy to experience, so much Peace to be known, if you will once again consecrate yourselves to My Mother's Immaculate Heart and to My Sacred and Merciful Heart.

Bind the WHOLE WORLD to us with your prayers and your love.

Be ready to serve beyond any normal capacity with Our help.

We will NEVER abandon you, no matter how difficult and painful your journey may become. A complete trust on your part in My Power and Victory will sustain you throughout unbelievable terror and bloodshed.

I do not wish to frighten you, My children, but I need to hold your ATTENTION, your HEARTS, in My Heart and in My hands.

You are each blessed beyond words to describe. You are loved and CHERISHED by your Lord and your God.

Whatever you see, whatever you must endure, is for the purification of your souls before My glorious return. A life of Peace in My Kingdom on earth, or in Heaven for all eternity, is worth ANY hardship, ANY time spent in difficult circumstances.

DO NOT BE AFRAID, My beloved ones, be filled with JOY and EAGERNESS for My return. It will not be much longer, I PROMISE you now.

Be filled with My Peace, children of the world. It is your Lord Who will save. You need do nothing but serve and pray and spend all of your time with Me, with My Mother, with the angels and saints!

Come NOW and discover the bliss that is possible in Our Presence, receiving all the graces We wish to give you at this time.

Believe, My dearest ones. TRUST, and PERSEVERE!

MESSAGE VIA PATRICIA SOTO APR 7, 1998

Wilmington, California, USA
April 7, 1998

Jesus said: "Praise be to Jesus, for Jesus is Lord. I Am Savior,Messiah. I Am Jesus CRUCIFIED.My beloved little one, I, your Jesus of Mercy, am coming to bring these Teachings to ALL My children. For even if just ONE child repents and surrenders, ALL of Heaven rejoices!

I tell you, My children, THESE ARE THE TIMES SPOKEN OF IN THE BIBLE, where many will DENY My Truths and RIDICULE those of My children willing to testify in My Name. But remember, My children, in the Beatitudes it speaks of those of My children main pure of heart, for Justice' sake, who shall be called , and My Mercy shall abound them FOREVER.

During this Holy Week, My children, as your TRIALS BECOME HEAVY, as you walk the Via Dolorosa with Me, remember the TOTAL SURRENDER I was willing to give to My Father. And as your crosses become heavier this Holy Week, SURRENDER in TOTAL compliance with the Holy Will of the Father, offering ALL for those of My children who deny My Truths and are unwilling to open their hearts in total surrender to the Holy Will of the Father.

Open, My beloved One, to John, Chapter 16, verse 1.

1 - I have told you this so that you may not fall away.
2 - They will expel you from the synagogues; in fact the hour is coming
when everyone who kills you will think he is offering worship to God.
3- They will do this because they have not known either the Father or me.
4- For I have told you this so that when their hour comes, you may
remember that I told you.

Open to Matthew Chapter 5, verse 3. The Beatitudes.

3 - Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4 - Blessed are they who mourn, for they will be comforted.
S - Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the land.
6 - Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will
be satisfied.
7 - Blessed are the merciful, for they will he shown mercy.
S - Blessed are the clean of heart, for they will see God.
9 - Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called the children of
God.
10-Blessed are they who are persecuted for the sake of righteousness, for
theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

My children, the Beatitudes are a path to TOTAL surrender, a road to SANCTITY, tools you can use in the walk of the Via Dolorosa! Are you WILLING, My children, to take up the armor of salvation, dying unto yourselves, in order that you may have LIFE ETERNAL?

Many times I have come requesting CHANGE, PRAYER, a RETURN to the Sacraments. You, My precious children, FAIL to understand the CONSEQUENCES that you bring upon yourselves and your families,--the urgency in My Mother's pleas, My pleas, are for YOUR sake,--but this also I have said many times. I will continue to plea until the last moment for EACH of you, My children; that is My LOVE, My MERCY!

How EASY it is for you, My children, to continue in the errors of your ways, not wanting to realize the consequence is eternal DAMNATION for a soul who dies in Mortal sin!

Remember, My children, these Teachings and other messages given to those of My children willing to testify in My Name are GRACES being given toYOU. Whether you accept them as truths or not is NOT of importance! But whether you STAY in the error of sin, which can condemn you to the pits of Gehenna, is of GRAVE importance!

Do not cast aside the Graces which I Am pouring out to you, My children.

OPEN your hearts to these Graces.

Open your hearts to Me!

I Am your Jesus of Mercy.

SHALOM, My people.

Thank you for remaining obedient to My Call, My little one."

Comments on Madonna and Child Image on Mars

--"This brings to mind something which occurred in Garabandal. I believe it was Mari Loli who asked the Blessed Mother if she could take her photograph using a polaroid. She was given permission and took the photo. The image was indistinct to say the least. Observers asked Mari why would she say yes and then have the photo look so questionable. Loli then asked the Blessed Mother when she appeared again the question the observers asked.

The Blessed Mother's response was quite telling. She said, (paraphrasing) why would it matter if the image was clear for they still would not believe!"

--"Well, I share a similar bias, but I see it too! Crib on the left, baby's head. Mary's cloaked outline on the right. Wild!"

--"Aloha Doc!!! By Jove, my man, you are correct!!! I see Mary holding the baby Jesus!!! Wow!!!

--"That mars image looks like the Blessed Mother holding Jesus with somebody looking on. It doesn't take imagination to see it."

--"Thank you for making the image of the nativity that you discerned in the Mars photo available to all. The image of mother and child is clearly suggested there in bas relief. There is a solemn beauty in the image, and one responds to it from a deep holy place within. For me, it was an image of the Mother of God looking down on her Son. Like poetry, line drawing intentionally leaves out detail so that the imagination of the observer can participate. Because of the simplicity of this image, persons from all the world with many different ways of seeing can bring their own experience to the mystery of the incarnation. We look at an image of the nativity and our first thought is, "What gift can I bring?" For me, He answers in the words of the African hymn, 'Every man heart lay down'."

Will China "Nuke" the Dollar?

Lost in all the excitement about the collapse of the Japanese yen and the dramatic 36,000 decline in the number of new jobs during March was a threat by China to dump up to $52 billion in US Treasury securities on the bond market, in the event of another attack by foreign exchange traders on the Hong Kong dollar.

The possibility of new speculative efforts vs. the Hong Kong unit are becoming increasingly likely thanks to the the highest level for the American greenback vs. the Japanese currency since 1991. It happened early Friday, after Moody's Investor Services downgraded Japan's foreign exchange rating.

According to the International Herald Tribune, China has bought US securities since February as ammunition to use in case it has to flood the market with American currency to protect the Hong Kong dollar's present value. This seems a bit silly, given the fact that China's yuan is probably going to have to be devalued anyway, to keep Chinese goods priced competitively with those of its neighbors, who already have been forced to devalue their own money.

But it demonstrates the fact that the wars of the 21st Century will be fought on the economic front, rather than with force of arms. It would be just as effective for the Chinese to "nuke" our stock market by forcing our interest rates sharply higher on a temporary basis, as it would be to use more traditional means of wreaking havoc on an enemy.

More Wonders of the Holy Spirit

Just received additional word about more "unusual" wonders of the Holy Spirit.

At a weekend rally attended by the group from Stubenville, it was announced that Our Lord had, through an East Indian, I believe a Catholic priest, raised 3 people from the dead during the priest's travels in India.

Interesting, a week before, a Pentacostal friend of mine, in an unrelated conversation, phoned me out of the blue to mention that a minister and his family had been in a central America jungle for 24 years, leading some Indian tribes to our Lord. He stated that Our Lord, through this minister, had raised numerous people from the dead, having prayed over 2,000 bodies.

For it is at this time you shall see miracles, as persecution raises itself up against My people, I shall raise up in great power. You shall see the dead raised. You shall see the dead come back to life in front of your eyes if you'll walk with me. This time is coming."

Moody's Investors Service lowered its outlook on Japan's Triple-A rated sovereign debt to negative from stable, sinking an early rally in Tokyo stocks and driving the yen to its lowest level in 6-1/2 years in reaction.

Out of the mouth of babes...

I forgot to mention before - my 10 year old son also had a dream last night about, as he put it, the "end times". He told me this morning that he dreamed that Jesus was showing everyone what they had to "go to confession about" as he put it, and then everyone was just waiting for Him to come back!!!!!

In her March, 1998 letter, popular author and speaker Kay Arthur, founder and president of Precept Ministries, describes a recent encounter with a young Jewish friend in the Jewish quarter within the ancient walls of Jerusalem.

"Levi," I asked, watching his countenance, especially his eyes, "how soon so you think Messiah is coming?"

His blue-green eyes took on a soft intensity. "Soon." "How soon, Levi," I queried.

"Very soon. It has to be," he answered with his head nodding affirmatively, his eyes never leaving mine. "Very soon."

I will pour out my Spirit on all people

This word to the Body of Christ is from Brother William Bryant, a genuine prophet (whose words I have not seen fall to the ground) I have known for over 25 years who is in his upper '70's and lives in Knoxville, Tennessee. I doubt if he has ever seen a computer, and I am certain he has never used one. I was telling him several months ago about the internet, and how God is using it to spread His prophetic words. He called me on the phone with a word he said God impressed him to give to me "to put on my computer" (to be sent to the Prophets and Apostles) which God spoke to him Saturday, March 28, 1998 in the early hours:

1. There is starting a mighty outpouring of love on the Body of Christ as never before.

2. The outpouring of love will cause a unity in the Body of Christ as never before.

3. As the result of this unity will come an outpouring of power as never before.

4. As the result of the outpouring of power souls shall be brought into the Kingdom of God.

To each one that receives these words of this prophecy these things will begin to come to pass in their lives.

MESSAGE VIA CAROL AMECHE - MAR 27, 1998

Jesus said: "My dearest child, I am so very happy to be with you now. I am your sweet Jesus Who comes with a Heart full of longing to soothe your spirit.

Daughter, REJOICE! Take each day as it comes. You are ready for ALL that will occur. The months and years ahead will be completely guided by your Lord and your holy Mother. You are truly convicted of the truth of My words, Carol, and will be a perfect instrument for all of My Father's desires. Our Spirit will lead you and inspire you on every occasion.

Do not be alarmed or surprised by anything from now on. I love you and thank you, daughter, for all your hard work and diligence. This Age ends soon, after the world experiences all that is prophesied, all that is foretold in Scripture.

Your path to My Kingdom is rising and will be filled with many rocky places, many twists and turns. Please tell Our people that the future is like a sky filled with dark clouds, with thunder and lightning, with great winds and turbulence. Tell them to don their garments for the storm, to await the rain and hail, the ice and snow, and the rumbling of the earth.

Yes, the earth in your country will split in the days to come. As a great sign, I will cause the ground to split apart.

The forces of nature are about to rebel against you as a Sign, of God Our Father's ANGER at the sin present in the world. The hardened hearts of many will also be broken open by these events and will be able to then receive the grace of My Father, His gifts, and His forgiveness.

These events MUST occur, for all to be made ready to accept Me in their hearts and lives before My return. Our people must DESIRE My return, prepare and pray for it, long for Me as I long for all of you.

Be READY, My dear ones, for everything to play out in your lives and hearts as you serve the lost souls whom you will guide and direct back to Me through My Sacrament of Forgiveness. Be brave and trusting, little soldiers. Be filled now with My strength. We will fight the battle together, and victory is assured. Do not forget this fact, children of the world, as choices and decisions become more difficult,--at times, possibly life-threatening.

I need you, sons and daughters of My Father, to be faithful, to be strong and to persevere throughout every trial and sorrow, remembering the victory, always holding My Peace in your hands and your heart.

Do NOT give in to any amount of coercion, no matter WHO might be begging you to accept the Anti-Christ. You will all one day be with Me in Paradise. Remember this promise and be strong!

I LOVE you with all My Heart, beloved ones!

Be at peace; be at Peace."
