-St. Anthony the Great (3rd Century)
Prophecies like the one above, which come from sources other than Scripture and Sacred Tradition, fall under the heading of ‘private revelation’. No matter how holy the saint, even if he or she claims it came from the mouth of Our Lord, belief in private revelation isn’t binding upon the faithful. I do recommend approaching such material with caution.
At the back of Comet Dust (published 2016), I broke down the prophecies on which it’s based into five different sections: The Future, Illumination of Conscience (The Warning), The Miracle, Three Days of Darkness, The Era of Peace.
I included some general prophecies that don’t necessarily point to The Warning or other mystical events. Yet, they were helpful in building the setting for the time in which the protagonist lives. Political unrest, economic upheaval, rampant immorality, hostility toward religion, and general confusion reign in Gina’s world.You don’t have to purchase the book to read the prophecies or to see how some of these predications are quickly coming to fruition in real life.
SECTION 1: The
Future
(Politics, Religion, Morality and Ecology)
Luke 21: 25-26
And there shall be
signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth
distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; Men's
hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are
coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.
Our Lady of Akita, Message To Sister Agnes Sasagawa (1973)
As I told you, if
men do not repent and better themselves, the Father will inflict a terrible
punishment on all humanity. It will be a punishment greater than the deluge,
such as one will never have seen before. Fire will fall from the sky and will
wipe out a great part of humanity, the good as well as the bad, sparing neither
priests nor faithful. The survivors will find themselves so desolate that they
will envy the dead. The only arms which will remain for you will be the Rosary
and the Sign left by My Son. Each day recite the prayers of the Rosary. With
the Rosary, pray for the Pope, the bishops and priests.
The work of the devil will
infiltrate even into the Church in such a way that one will see cardinals
opposing cardinals, bishops against bishops. The priests who venerate me will
be scorned and opposed by their confreres … churches and altars sacked; the
Church will be full of those who accept compromises and the demon will press
many priests and consecrated souls to leave the service of the Lord. The demon
will be especially implacable against souls consecrated to God. The thought of
the loss of so many souls is the cause of my sadness. If sins increase in
number and gravity, there will be no longer pardon for them.
Sister Elena Aiello (1895 - 1961)
Oh, what a
horrible vision I see! A great revolution is going on in Rome! They are
entering the Vatican. The Pope is all alone; he is praying. They are holding
the Pope. They take him by force. They knock him down to the floor. They are
tying him. Oh. God! Oh, God! They are kicking him. What a horrible scene! How
dreadful!
Russia will
march upon all the nations of Europe, particularly Italy, and will raise her
flag over the dome of St. Peter's. Italy will be severely tried by a great
revolution, and Rome will be purified in blood for its many sins, especially
those of impurity. The flock is about to be dispersed and the Pope will suffer
greatly.
Sister Lucia (January 3, 1944)
point of a lance like a flame that is detached, touches the axis of the Earth and it trembles. Mountains, cities, towns and villages with their inhabitants are buried. The sea, the rivers, the clouds exceed their boundaries, inundating and dragging with them in a vortex houses and people in a number that cannot be counted. It is the purification of the world from the sin in which it is immersed.

Note: This vision, which seems to describe a comet hurling toward Earth and its aftermath, allegedly occurred while Lucia was praying before the tabernacle at her convent. She wrote it down in her diary, but it wasn’t made public until recently. It’s authenticity hasn’t been confirmed (or denied) by her convent. Use extra discernment with this one.Pope Pius IX (1792 - 1846)
The present
wickedness of the world is only the beginning of the sorrows which must take
place before the end of the world.
Pope St. Pius X (1835-1914)
“What I have
seen is terrifying! Will I be the one, or will it be a successor? What is
certain is that the Pope will leave Rome and, in leaving the Vatican, he will
have to pass over the dead bodies of his priests!" He then cautioned the
witnesses, "Do not tell anyone this while I am alive.
Just before his death, Pius had another vision. "I have seen one of my successors, of the same name, who was fleeing over the bodies of his brethren. He will take refuge in some hiding place; but after a brief respite, he will die a cruel death. Respect for God has disappeared from human hearts. They wish to efface even God's memory. This perversity is nothing less than the beginning of the last days of the world.
Hellen Wallraff (19th century)
Someday a Pope will
flee from Rome in the company of only four Cardinals…
The Ecstatic of Tours (19th Century)
Before the war
breaks out again, food will be scarce and expensive. There will be little work
for the workers, and fathers will hear their children crying for food. There
will be earthquakes and signs in the sun. Toward the end, darkness will cover
the Earth. When everyone believes that peace is ensured, when everyone least
expects it, the great happening will begin. Revolution will break out in Italy
almost at the same time as in France. For some time the Church will be without
a Pope.
Blessed Rembordt (18th Century)
God will punish the
world when men have devised marvelous inventions that will lead them to
forgetting God. They will fly like birds and have horseless carriages. But they
will laugh at God thinking they are very clever. There will be signs in the
heavens but men in their pride will laugh them off. Men will indulge in
voluptuousness and lewd fashion will be seen everywhere.
Venerable Bartholomew Holzhauser (17th Century)
The fifth period of
the Church, which began circa 1520, will end with the arrival of the holy Pope
and of the powerful Monarch who is called “Help From God” because he will
restore everything. The fifth period is one of affliction, desolation,
humiliation, and poverty for the Church. Jesus Christ will purify His people
through cruel wars, famines, plagues, epidemics, and other horrible calamities.
He will also afflict and weaken the Latin Church with many heresies. It is a
period of defections, calamities and exterminations. Those Christians who
survive the sword, plague and famines, will be few on Earth.
During this period, many
men will abuse of the freedom of conscience conceded to them. It is of such men
that Jude the Apostle spoke when he said, “These men blaspheme whatever they do
not understand; and they corrupt whatever they know naturally as irrational
animals do.” They will ridicule Christian simplicity; they will call it folly
and nonsense, but they will have the highest regard for advanced knowledge, and
for the skill by which the axioms of law, the precepts of morality, the Holy
Canons and religious dogmas are clouded by senseless questions and elaborate
arguments.
These are the evil times,
a century full of dangers and calamities. Heresy is everywhere, and the
followers of heresy are in power almost everywhere. but God will permit a great
evil against His Church: Heretics and tyrants will come suddenly and
unexpectedly; they will break into the Church. They will enter Italy and lay
Rome waste; they will burn down churches and destroy everything.
Maria Laach Monastery (16th Century)
The twentieth
century will bring death and destruction, apostasy from the Church, discord in
families, cities and governments; it will be the century of three great wars
with intervals of a few decades. They will become ever more devastating and
bloody and will lay in ruins not only Germany, but finally all countries of
East and West. After a terrible defeat of Germany will follow the next great
war. There will be no bread for people anymore and no fodder for animals.
Poisonous clouds, manufactured by human hands, will sink down and exterminate
everything. The human mind will be seized by insanity.
Mother Shipton (16th Century)
The great
chastisement will come when carriages go without horses. It will come when
thoughts will fly around the world in an instant. When the many taxes are
funded to levy wars.
John of the Cleft Rock (14th Century)
Towards the end of
the world, tyrants and hostile mobs will rob the Church and the clergy of all
their possessions and will afflict and martyr them. Those who heap the most
abuse upon them will be held in high esteem. At that time, the Pope with his
cardinals will have to flee Rome in tragic circumstances to a place where they
will be unknown. The Pope will die a cruel death in his exile. The sufferings
of the Church will be much greater than at any previous time in her history.
But God will raise a holy Pope, and the Angels will rejoice. Enlightened by
God, this man will rebuild almost the whole world through his holiness. He will
lead everyone to the true Faith.
Johannes Friede (13th Century)
When the great time
will come, in which mankind will face its last, hard trial, it will be
foreshadowed by striking changes in nature. The alteration between cold and
heat will become more intensive, storms will have more catastrophic effects,
earthquakes will destroy great regions, and the seas will overflow many
lowlands. Not all of it will be the result of natural causes, but mankind will
penetrate into the bowels of the earth and will reach into the clouds, gambling
with its own existence. Before the powers of destruction will succeed in their
design, the universe will be thrown into disorder, and the age of iron will
plunge into nothingness.
When nights will be
filled with more intensive cold and days with heat, a new life will begin in
nature. The heat means radiation from the earth, the cold the waning light of
the sun. Only a few years more and you will become aware that sunlight has
grown perceptibly weaker. When even your artificial light will cease to give
service, the great event in the heavens will be near.
Saint Hildegard (12th Century)
The time is coming
when princes and peoples will reject the authority of the Pope. Some countries
will prefer their own Church rulers to the Pope. The German Empire will be
divided.
Before the comet comes,
many nations, the good excepted, will be scourged by want and famine. The great
nation in the ocean that is inhabited by people of different tribes and descent
will be devastated by earthquake, storm, and tidal wave. It will be divided
and, in great part, submerged. That nation will also have many misfortunes at
sea and lose its colonies.
[After the] great
Comet, the great nation will be devastated by earthquakes, storms, and great
waves of water, causing much want and plagues. The ocean will also flood many
other countries, so that all coastal cities will live in fear, with many
destroyed.
All sea coast cities
will be fearful, and many of them will be destroyed by tidal waves, and most
living creatures will be killed, and even those who escape will die from a
horrible disease. For in none of those cities does a person live according to
the Laws of God.
A powerful wind will
rise in the North, carrying heavy fog and the densest dust, and it will fill
their throats and eyes so that they will cease their butchery and be stricken
with a great fear.
Premol (5th century)
Everywhere there is
war! Peoples and nations are pitted against each other…but mercy, mercy for
Rome! But Thou hearest not my entreaties, and Rome also collapses in tumult.
And I see the King of Rome with his Cross and his Tiara, shaking the dust off
his shoes, and hastening in his flight to other shores. Thy Church, O Lord, is
torn apart by her own children. One camp is faithful to the fleeing Pontiff;
the other is object to the new government of Rome which has broken the Tiara.
But Almighty God will, in His mercy, put an end to this confusion and a new age
will begin. Then, said the Spirit, this is the beginning of the End of Time.
St. Anthony the Great (3rd Century)
A time is coming when
men will go mad, and when they see someone who is not mad, they will attack
him, saying, “You are mad; you are not like us.”
