THE UNMISTAKABLE PARALLELS IN APOCALYPTIC LITERATURE TO CURRENT EVENTS
Book of Revelations ("Armageddon") and Fatima's "Three Secrets" -
("several "nations will be annihilated.")
At this time of mounting violence and ideological extremism, including the desecration of religious belief in the Middle East, the many parallels between the present and the events predicted in Apocalyptic literature continue to multiply. These parallels are very close and difficult to dismiss on the grounds of mere coincidence. Based on recent events, there is a high probability that soon humanity will finally experience the long-awaited and dreaded event known as “Armageddon” that was foretold in both "Revelations" and at Fatima in 1917. (For an in-depth analysis of the text of Revelations and how the terminology employed points directly to the present, see Chapter 2 in the Coming of Armageddon - History's Longest Night. Regarding Fatima, see Chapter 22, and for the role of the key number "6" (including "666") throughout history and also during the current era, see Chapter 21.
“Book of Revelations”
“[Based on statements in Revelations], it is apparent that the greatest of all wars will arise out of a period of unprecedented wealth and materialism. Currently we are living in such an era, one dominated by speculative excess and greed on an extraordinary scale…. ”
“Soon many realized that much of what was occurring around the world was remarkably similar to the fateful events leading to Biblical “Armageddon” that had been foretold more than two millennia ago… For instance, John emphasized that the lethal process leading to “Armageddon” would commence in the Middle East, when the “four angels [of violence] which are bound in the great river Euphrates …were loosed” (9:14). In fact, this has occurred repeatedly in the “four” nations in proximity to the river. He also states that the violence would soon spread elsewhere, finally coming to fruition in Russia and China - in essence, “the way of the kings of the east … [having been] prepared.” (16:12). And finally there’s the location similar in appearance to ancient Megiddo that John saw in his ominous vision - an innocuous looking mountain in northern China that all along was the focal point of the regime’s grand scheme to wage the cruelest and most destructive war in history…"
“The pivotal number “666” that is emphasized throughout Revelations… does appear to provide invaluable insights… a particularly revealing passage occurs when the “sixth” seal is opened and the specific event that will commence Armageddon is described in vivid detail (Chapter 6, verse 12 (6+6) = “666”). From the standpoint of numerology this brief passage can be regarded as one of the key locations in the entire document… the image contained in Chapter 6, verse 12 fits exactly the appearance of a nuclear bomb exploding high in the atmosphere…a massive release of radiation…. the image described in Revelations (6:12) is nothing less than a vivid illustration of history’s most deadly weapon that will be the focus of World war III (Biblical Armageddon) causing suffering and a loss of life on an epic scale.”
“Fatima
“…this extraordinary episode has a vital relationship to the Book of Revelations, in essence clarifying with specifics what was predicted there almost 2000 years ago… refers to the sudden rise to power of the Bolsheviks and atheistic communism (Marxist Leninism) in Russia, an event that irrevocably changed the course of history…the great, totalitarian state of the modern era first arose in all its perverse glory and implemented an agenda that emphasizes mass cruelty and well as a virulent hatred of religion.”
“On May 13, 1917, they reported “[seeing a lady who was] brighter than the sun, shedding rays of light clearer and stronger than a crystal goblet filled with the most sparkling water and pierced by the burning rays of the sun…” The children believed this mysterious figure was the Virgin Mary, the mother of Jesus Christ. Additional encounters took place on June 13 and finally July 13 when Mary conveyed to the children the so-called “Three Secrets" of Fatima…. the Second Secret takes the form of Mary’s explicit statement…that makes certain predictions regarding the future course of human history… It includes the following:
"The war (1st World War) is going to end; but if the people do not cease offending God, a worse one will break out during the Pontificate of Pope Pius XI (World War II)…If…Russia will be converted (turn away from communism), there will be peace; if not, she will spread her errors throughout the world, causing wars and persecutions of the Church. The good will be martyred… various nations will be ANNIHILATED…"
“Because the statement is made that there would be additional “wars,” it can be concluded that there will be another, major conflict beyond the Second World War. It will be global and involve unprecedented violence because at that time 'various nations will be annihilated'….. The last word is probably the most important in all of the Three Secrets. Thus the subject nations will not merely be ruined or even destroyed. “Annihilation” …is the strongest term that could be used. It means “reduced to nothing.” Usually warfare merely damages or incapacitates a defeated nation. Rarely is that nation reduced to virtually nothing. During the Second World War several nations were severely damaged. Even after incessant aerial bombing, substantial portions of the targeted cities remained. In only two locations did true “annihilation” occur - Hiroshima and Nagasaki after they were obliterated by atomic bombs…. "
Also “the “annihilation” predicted by Mary will engulf entire “nations” and not merely a few cities. Therefore, it can be reasonably concluded that at some point in the future a war will occur that will be monumental in scope and employ nuclear weapons (World War III) - one in which a number of nations over a significant, geographical area will be reduced to nothing. In that regard the ruinous descriptions contained in the “Book of Revelations” [that were presumed to represent the end of the world] come readily to mind. "
