The Harbinger vs Fatima.

The end time’s book called “The Harbinger”written by Jonathan Cahn quickly catapulted into a bestselling book. The premise of the book is that an obscure chapter in the Bible, Isaiah 9:10-11, warned about the 9/11 attacks against America. The book also goes into detail about an impending doom if America does not turn back to God. The piece of scripture that drives the book says:

“The bricks have fallen down,
But we will are build with smooth stones;
The sycamores have been cut down,
But we will replace them with cedars.”

Therefore the LORD raises against them adversaries from a Rezin

And spurs their enemies on

Somehow, we are supposed to understand from this reading that it foretells of an attack against America by nineteen relatively well-off Saudi Arabians who slammed planes into the World Trade center and the Pentagon. The genius of the book, as far as I can tell, is the author’s cleverness in hijacking a biblical chapter with the numbers 9/11 and spinning the whole thing into a blockbuster money making juggernaut.

The fascinating aspect to the success of “The Harbinger” is that it clearly reveals a great thirst for proof that future events are foretold in the Bible. It gives Christians hope that, indeed, revelations and prophesies found in the bible do sometimes come true.

Christians need some confirmation from time to time about the infallibility of the Bible.

But the confounding piece to the success of “The Harbinger” is that an extraordinary religious prophecy, a prophesy containing vivid details, is completely ignored by the evangelical and protestant community and many Catholics. The prophesy is ignored despite the fact that it unfolded with spectacular accuracy. I am talking about Fatima.

It is nearly impossible to overestimate Fatima’s unique status inside the Vatican.

The apparitions of the Virgin Mary at Fatima are considered the most extraordinary intervention of God since Jesus Christ walked on earth. No biblical prophecy, including Isaiah 9 10 11or Jewish harbinger, comes close to the incomparable supernatural phenomenon and accurate predictions that took place in Portugal at Fatima over the course of six months in 1917.

The Mormon Church, its angel, and gold tablets, Moses and the parting of the sea offered no proof of miracles – all hearsay – legend, myth, folklore.

But the Blessed Mother in 1917 changed everything. She prophesied and warned in a set of secrets that Satan would attack God and Christianity and astonishingly, it all came true. She told three peasant children a great miracle would occur – it did. 70,000 people, including skeptics, journalists, atheists and Masons, witnessed the unprecedented supernatural event known as the “Miracle of the Sun”. The Virgin Mary also predicted that Her heart would triumph.

The warning was fulfilled when World War II broke out and Russian styled communism and state sponsored atheism ruled half the world. Russia had been specifically singled out by the Virgin Mary in the apparitions at Fatima. After the dire warnings of Fatima, atheist leaders in Germany, Russia and China oversaw the greatest slaughter of humans in the history of the world. Only at Fatima do we see a revelation – specific words of warnings that are followed by their clear and indisputable fulfillment. Protestant and biblical prophecies are mythology in comparison.

The Bible says that a woman with a crown of Twelve Stars will appear as a sign in the book of Revelations Chapter 12.1 – “A great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet and a crown of twelve stars on her head.”

The Blessed Virgin Mary has appeared for generations with a “Crown of Twelve Stars” and today some claim this same woman is appearing with a “Crown of Twelve Stars” at Medjugorje and offering messages of hope for the world. Perhaps it is time for our Protestant brothers and sisters to heed Her call.

WHAT DID THE MESSAGE OF FATIMA PREDICT?

The Message of Fatima accurately predicted in 1917 all of the following events which came to pass:

(1) the end of World War I;

(2) the emergence of Russia as a world power which would “spread its errors (including Communism) throughout the world … raising up wars and persecutions against the Church”;

(3) the election of a Pope who would be named Pius XI;

(4) the waging of a second World War following a strange light in the night sky.

The Message of Fatima also predicted that if the requests of the Virgin Mary at Fatima are not honored, many souls will be lost, “the Holy Father will have much to suffer”, there will be further wars and persecutions of the Church and “various nations will be annihilated.” The annihilation of nations predicted at Fatima has not yet occurred, but many fear that it will soon happen, given the growing immorality and corruption of the world.

4. WHAT DOES THE MESSAGE OF FATIMA REQUEST?

At Fatima Our Lady said that God wished to establish in the world devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Our Lady said that many souls would be saved from Hell and the annihilation of nations averted if, in time, devotion to Her Immaculate Heart were established principally by these two means:

1) the Consecration of Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary by the Pope together with the world’s bishops in a solemn public ceremony, and

(2) the practice or receiving Holy Communion (and other specific devotions of about 1/2 hour in duration) in reparation for the sins committed against the Blessed Virgin Mary, on the first Saturdays of five consecutive months–a practice known to Catholics as “the First Saturday” devotion.
