THE END DAYS

Signs of the Coming Great Chastisement

1. Wars and calamities are punishments for sins.
   • Osee 9:9. They have sinned deeply, as in the days of Gabaa: he will remember their iniquity, and will visit their sin.
   • Prov. 13: 34. Sin maketh nations miserable.
   • 1 Paralipomenon 21: 8. And David said to God: I have sinned exceedingly in doing this : I beseech thee, take away the iniquity of thy servant, for I have done foolishly.
   • 21: 9. And the Lord spoke to Gad, the seer of David saying :
   • 21: 10. Go, and speak to David, and tell him : Thus saith the Lord : I give thee the choice of three things : choose one which thou wilt, and I will do it to thee.
   • 21: 12. Either three years' famine: or three months to flee from thy enemies, and not to be able to escape their sword: or three days to have the sword of the Lord, and pestilence in the land, and the angel of the Lord , destroying in all the coasts of Israel : now, therefore see what I shall answer him who send me.
   • 21:13. And David said to Gad: I am on every side in a great strait: but it is better for me to fall into the hands of the Lord, for his mercies are many, than into the hands of men.
   • 21.14. So the Lord sent a pestilence upon Israel. And there fell of Israel seventy thousand men.
2. To identify the signs of the coming great chastisement, we need to look at the quantity of sins and the types of sins that are abominations in the eyes of God but are tolerated by the society. From our vantage point it is difficult to gauge the quantity of sins. But we know from various apparitions that sins have multiplied beyond measure. What we can do here it to point out the sins that God particularly hates but are considered normal in the society, and those that were not acceptable in the previous centuries but acceptable now.
   • 2 Tim 3:1 Know also this, that in the last days, shall come dangerous times :
   • 3:2 Men shall be lovers of themselves, covetous, haughty, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, wicked,
   • 3:3 Without affection, without peace, slanderers, incontinent, unmerciful, without kindness,
   • 3:4 Having an appearance indeed of piety, but denying the power thereof.
3. There is no need to expand beyond what is a remarkably accurate description of the current social conditions of the so-called "Me Generation."
4. Let us look at two sins among the four sins that cry to Heaven for vengeance: murder and homosexuality.
5. There are other sins that stand out in these end times.
   • The seven capital sins or vices promoted by the Masonic-illuminati forces.
6. Another sign of the end times is the rise in drugs, sorcery, witchcraft, and Satan worship. There are thousands of satanist covens in cities across the U.S. where kidnaped young children are killed and offered to Satan. At the same time, astrology becomes more popular. It was banished from serious media for a long time. But the owners of the TV stations now allow the commercials of psychic services, another name for astrology or fortune-telling. Let us see what God has to say about these activities:
   • Deut. 18:10. Neither let there be found among you any one that shall expiate his son or daughter, making them to pass through the fire: or that consulteth soothsayers, or observeth dreams and omens, neither let there be any wizard,
   • 18:11. Nor charmer, nor any one that consulteth pythonic spirits, or fortune tellers, or that seeketh the truth from the dead.
   • 18:12. For the Lord abhorreth all these things, and for these abominations he will destroy them at thy coming.
7. We have mentioned above that the second fall starts with modern Eves: it is the Revolt of Women.
8. Next, The Negligence of the Catholic Bishops.
9. Finally, the Great Apostasy within the Catholic Church.
10. With the beginning of the period in which the majority of Catholic population was to be apostatized, the time that God has granted the preaching of the Gospel to all nations was accomplished. Thus, another sign that we are in the end times is the return of the Jews to Palestine:
    • Luke 21:24. And they shall fall by the edge of the sword and shall be led away captives into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down by the Gentiles till the times of the nations be fulfilled.
    • Romans 11:25. A Partial blindness only has befallen Israel, until the full number of the Gentiles should enter.
11. And when we see the Jewish nation proclaims their Messiah of the New Age, know that he is the Anti-Christ, and the Great Chastisement is at hand. For Our Lord said:
    • John 5:43. I am come in the name of my Father, and you receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him you will receive.
12. The sins of all kinds are multiplying beyond measure, particularly murder of the unborn, sexual abuses of children, homosexuality, and sins of impurity. When they are weighed against prayers, penance, and sacrifices by the Catholic faithful the scale is heavy on the side of sin. As a result, we have witnessed a sharp increase in number and magnitude of natural and man-made disasters: earthquakes, tornados, hurricanes, typhoons, floods, volcanic activities, plane crashes, terrorist bombings, and wars. This is because all creatures including the elements hate those who hate God and rebel against those who rebel against God.
    • Wisdom 5:18. He will arm the creature for the revenge of His enemies.
    • 5:21 He will sharpen His severe wrath for a spear and the whole world will fight with Him against the unwise.
