The problem I fear is that because of the books mentioned in this thread along with the prophecies in the Yves DuPont book and the Fatima shenanigans going on is that

many good Catholics are convinced that there absolutely will be an era of peace, the Reign of Mary, before the arrival of the Antichrist.

Many are convinced we are wrong to be on the lookout for the Antichrist.

Who do you want to cite for the "Triumph of the Church" in your sense? Fr. Berry? Fr. Kramer? Your new to this thread, but I think there's far too much evidence to not dismiss it. It's been discussed thoroughly here.

No, Trump is not the Antichrist. 

We don't need to be "on the lookout" for Antichrist anyway.  People make fools of themselves with -- Ronald Reagan is Antichrist, no, it's Barrack Obama, or Jared Kushner (LOL -- that clown?)

Our Lord clearly taught that when He returns, it'll be all over and it'll be like lightning in the sky and we'll all know it.  Anyone who appears before that time claiming to be Christ is either Antichrist or some charlatan.  We had one poster here who was convinced that Christ had returned.

In any case, there's a huge amount of Catholic prophecy about a period of peace before Antichrist, a Reign of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, and a Triumph of the Church -- way too much to dismiss.

On a separate topic, just last week, the thought occurred to me, in connection with Flat Earth, about why the deception.  Of course, it would be more difficult to deny God in a Flat Earth system.  But then it also occurred to me, as I hold that the Antichrist will present himself as an alien, if we live on a Flat Earth covered by a firmament, then they could hardly pull off the whole alien stunt.  How did said "alien" get through the firmament?  And if there's no deep outer space with planets and starts out there, the entire ruse falls apart.  But I'll make a separate post about that.

This playlist disputes some of the evidence on the Three Days of Darkness in Scripture, from Anna Maria Taigi and others:





However, there is a good deal of evidence that China and Bill Gates and MIT and others have developed technology to block out the sun.
Since we have a fake Sr Lucy, fake consecration, and fake third secret, it wouldn't be out of the question for the powers that shouldn't be to fake a miracle of the sun and the Three Days of Darkness.

Well, we don't know the timeline for certain,

but the powers that shouldn't be know all about Catholic prophecies and and have used them to mislead well meaning Catholics before.  Medjugorje is just one example

They misuse Padre Pio and Faustina and many saints and mystics to deceive the elect.  (See the playlist posted above on the false attribution of the Three Days of Darkness prophecies to them)

The plans for the nwo One World Religion

(Fɾҽҽmαsσɳɾყ/Theosophy/Noahide)

are over a century old so planting seeds of false prophecies along the way to bring it about only makes sense.

The Antichrist will appear as an angel of light so as to fool the elect and will usher in "an era of peace" (before sudden destruction).

The Theosophists at the UN and the Freemasons can honestly say they want to lead everyone to join in saying prayers for the

Coming of Christ
Christ is King
Jesus is King

Mary, the Mother of Jesus is our WORLD MOTHER!

World-Mother

For the Theosophical journal see The World-Mother (periodical)

That is the truth which lies behind the Roman Catholic doctrine of her Assumption; not that she was carried up into heaven among the Angels in her physical body, but that when she left that body she took her place among the Angels, and being presently appointed to the office of World-Mother she became very truly a queen among them, as the Church so poetically says. A great Deva needs no physical body; but while she holds her present office she will always appear to us in feminine form, as will those Adepts who have chosen to help her in her work.<sup>[10]

Theosophy is the New Age religion of the United Nations and invokes many Catholic sounding ideas such as:

Logos Rising
Ascended Masters including
St Germain
St Francis of Assisi
JP II
Mother Theresa
St Therese of Lisieux
and many other saints.

I've posted this elsewhere but if you haven't seen it, please take a moment to watch Michael Flynn lead the MAGA folks in a Luciferian "prayer" to St Michael the Archangel:

After WWIII and other calamities we know are coming our way, people will be desperate for peace and will be willing to make concessions to their Catholic Faith if a leader offers something that sounds

CLOSE ENOUGH

That is why we have to stay on our toes and call out all occasions of Ecuмanism, Indifferentism, Syncretism etc.

even if the leader appears to be a wonderful Traditional Catholic prelate who says Latin Mass like Vigano and Benedict.

but as for looking out for "THE ANTICHRIST"

we are warned in Sacred Scripture that there will be many

wolves in sheep's clothing

and many antichrists

which will deceive the elect.

Merry Christmas to you too.  Yes, I know that DuPont has a lot of "fluff" from less-than-credible sources, but you could eliminate half the book and still find the same trend and the same types of prophecies/predictions in the ones that remain and are credible.

Of course, we have Our Lady at Fatima ... if you don't accept the Dimond interpretation of what "conversion" means, where Our Lady said that the consecration will be done and that Her Immaculate Heart will triumph and a "period of peace" will be granted to the world.  I don't find the Dimond view of this "conversion" as credible, nor do I believe that Pius XII properly performed the consecration according to Our Lady's wishes ... much less did Bergoglio do so.

Between Fatima and a significant number actual credible prophecies that remain after excising the fluff from DuPont, I just can't come to any other 

Difference of opinion, and not as bad as that between the Thomists and Molinists on grace, so I guess we can manage to get along. 

I have heard a number of references over the years - and several quite recently - to the alleged prophecy regarding the 3 days of darkness.
This is an answer to my question about the topic from one of our priests who did a good amount of research on the topic.

"To answer your question about the three days of darkness, I have not written an article on the subject but have done research into it some years ago. The gist of it is that I don't believe it is a true prophecy for two reasons: 

1) the content is doctrinally suspect and has marks of false revelation
2) there is no authentic source for the claim that any saint or mystic prophesied this. 

The most common "authority" for the prophecy is Bl. Anna Maria Taigi. She is quoted all over the internet with a lengthy "exact" quote detailing the three days of darkness. However, no one gives the source of this claim. I tracked it down and it comes from a French book that was a notorious collection of false prophecies many of which have failed to come true since the book was published in the 1800's. Even though the words are quoted as coming directly from Bl. Anna Maria they do not. Actually they are words that someone claimed they heard from someone else who claimed they heard them from her; obviously not a reliable source. In any case, they made their way into a couple of books in English on the subject of prophecy published by TAN and others after Vatican II. At least one of those books specifically mentions the French source in the bibliography so I cannot excuse the author of deliberate deception since he leaves off the portion of the prophecy where she says the three days would happen during the reign of Pius IX and that during the next pope the whole world would be converted. None of that came true, of course, so the English author simply left it out but published the rest of the supposed prophecy and now that portion of it is all over the internet. That is not to say anything against Bl. Anna Maria who obviously led a holy life in the mind of the Church; it is simply saying that this prophecy has nothing to do with her. She did have some prophecies as Pius XI somewhere notes but he noted that they are in the archives of the Sacred Congregation of the Sacraments for judgment if I recall. Aside from the info I provided below from a previous email, here is a link to a very interesting book by Fr. Thurston on various false prophecies and their origins; the full "quote" on the three days is found in this book on page 5 to which this link will open:

Incidentally, some have accused Fr. Thurston of being liberal leaning due to a 1960's edition of his Butler's Lives of the Saints in which a footnote disparages St. Philomena. That footnote was not his as the edition was published after his death with editorial changes while still keeping his name. He died long before the 1961 "decree" under John XXIII which essentially decanonized St. Philomena as noted in the footnote. So obviously he could not have written that note. I will say that Fr. Thurston was probably leaned more to skepticism on mystical phenomena, however, and probably was too inclined to attribute some things to natural cause. However I think that is better than the opposite fault of being deceived into believing every person who claims to have mystical phenomena which are often merely the result of imagination and sometimes mental disease."
