First story

[The following was scheduled for posting last week, before the tsunami; we don't believe it is related to that event, nor that the 'glow' has to do with a glow reported in the Arctic, rather something in the future, but we leave that up to you, in accordance with Scripture's admonishment not to despise prophecy but to test the spirit and keep what is good; it is presented in that Spirit.]

Years ago we brought you an alleged revelation that in retrospect seemed startlingly prescient. Our purpose, in part, has always been to give air to the prophetic element, which in modern times is ignored by so much of the Church (in strange conflict with Scripture).

Naturally, one should be very careful and highly discerning. But we believe that as in Jesus' time, and before that (throughout the Old Testament), prophecy has its place (see 1 Corinthians 14:1), and that we should heed that which seems to have the possibility of authenticity.

Such seemed to be the case with the anonymous "locution" granted on December 3, 1990, which we have previously quoted and which among other things foresaw a time of regional "chastisements" (events that would come to purify various parts of the world); a "cloud" hanging over New York (warning that's its "pride" would be "broken," which could be related to the World Trade Center, known as the "pride of New York"); and a "new evil" that was quickly approaching, "the likes of which mankind has never before encountered," but one which had a reproductive element and would appear to be "beneficial" on the surface. It said such would arrive in four years, and 1994 was indeed a year of breakthroughs (as well as regulations changes) as regards cloning.

It has been fourteen years now since that reputed (and still anonymous) "revelation," which seemed to be from the Lord. For the first time since, there has come a new locution from the same source and in the same fashion -- strikingly similar, and if nothing else, food for  thought. We'll let you decide. It was reportedly received in the early morning hour of December 22 and reads as follows:

"There is going to be a major disruption in a region of the world that will affect everyone. The world is now seriously out of conformance with the Will of God and what He created and intended. There are those who would reconfigure the very creatures He has formed, and who meddle with the texture of life. For this reason, the Lord will allow a huge reorientation. If not for the action of Heaven, what God has created on earth will soon be damaged beyond recovery. A very dramatic effect already is in progress as regards the support structures of what man calls  nature. Such cannot be allowed to take the final realization of total realignment when it comes to the very way elements and life forces interact. The event to come will surprise everyone who has offered a prognostication, and will show even recalcitrant scientists, though not all, that there is a fundamental alarm in Heaven over their arrogant and wayward course. Nothing that is artificial in a way that disrupts what God intended will be allowed to stand.

"Heed this too: the politics of denial will be struck as with a plague.

"The smallest of what lives is precious in My sight.

"The angels have their instruction from east to west, and now a timetable has been set in motion.

"When the huge light is seen, I will act in a way I have not acted before."

It was an unusual light, seen in the skies over Europe, that constituted the "great sign" of Fatima in 1939.

Thus, when reflecting on the stunning “1990 Prophecy” on SpiritDaily, we must test the Spirit, but see that it gives us similar reminders about the future’s dependency on our response today.  Here are sample quotes of those reminders from that prophecy: “This evil is being allowed as a test because of the prayers inspired by Mary to put off chastisements;” “How mankind responds to this new evil will determine the extent, length, and severity of the first chastisements;” “This, according to mankind's response [to the first chastisements], will then be followed by another chastisement, or the inevitable onset of the change of era.”

We give truck to the prophetic word here, in keeping with the admonitions of the New Testament, and this pre-Christmas prophecy started with the words, "There is going to be a major disruption in a region of the world that will affect everyone..."

Four days later, the world bore horrifying witness to the great Christmas tsunami that so far has cost more than 150,000 lives and for its display before the world media and for the breadth of its effects -- 11 nations! -- stands as the greatest natural event of our generation (so far).

This was clearly a graduation of events. A prophetic alarm had been rung.

But was it what the 2004 prophecy indicated?

While on the surface it seemed so -- and while the timing of the 2004 prophecy certainly indicated that there was some kind of connection -- the question remains of just what that connection was. While the Asian tsunami certainly qualified as a "major disruption," and while it occurred in a particular "region," affecting many, there is still the question of whether one could truly consider it as an event that affected "everyone" in the way that was meant.

It certainly shook people up. Even the most secular of the religious websites showed a strong number -- nearly fifty percent -- who thought that whether or not it was a "punishment," God had been involved, someway, in sending the disaster. In other surveys, the number was higher, and major clerics weighed in, making the connection between the tsunami and God's displeasure -- whether they were Catholics, Protestants, Muslims, or Buddhists.

At least for the moment, it was an extraordinary display of reversion to the beliefs of our forefathers that God speaks through natural events (that is, ancestors who predated the "Renaissance").

But did it "affect" everyone? Did it fill the prophecy's prediction of something that would have a global impact?

"Affect" means to have an influence on or cause a change in, to touch on the emotions, and it certainly did some (perhaps even a lot) of that.

But let's dig deeper: The 2004 prophecy also said that, "the event to come will surprise everyone who has offered a prognostication, and will show even recalcitrant scientists, though not all, that there is a fundamental alarm in Heaven over their arrogant and wayward course."

Did the tsunami really "affect" scientists in such a manner? Did they begin to re-evaluate themselves?

Or is there something else on the way, something of greater alarm and magnitude?

We have to believe the latter, though we respect the discernment of all. Should it cause fear? Not at all. Everything that God does or allows is for our betterment, and through prayer, wars can be stopped and natural laws can be suspended. That is the value of prophecy -- which in our modern post-French Revolution times has been all but discarded.

We take the prophecy seriously because the previous one in 1990 was on the mark as related to the coming of cloning, regional chastisements, and September 11. Said the alleged new one, granted in anonymous fashion: "Nothing that is artificial in a way that disrupts what God intended will be allowed to stand. Heed this too: the politics of denial will be struck as with a plague. The smallest of what lives is precious in My sight. The angels have their instruction from east to west, and now a timetable has been set in motion."

That sounds like the tsunami was a part of a run of events, and the timing indicates that the Lord, if this is real, timed it when He did knowing that in the wake of the tsunami it would get more than the unusual attention.

But we also believe that something else -- or rather, a number of other things -- are on the way. The tsunami is coupled with the hurricanes and winds in Europe and weather in California, which are all leading up -- if you will forgive a prognostication -- to much more.
