Just what I needed to perk me up!

Thanks ever so, Ladislaus. :wink:

I forgot to explain that 1335 / 30 = exactly 44.5.  So something bad happens starting 1290 (43), and you'll be happy if you make it through until 1335 (44.5).  So there might be the chastisement for 1.5 years, or 540 days (using 360-day years).

Thank you for sharing that with us, Ladislaus.

You're very welcome, gladius.  Even if my analysis happens to be wrong, it's interesting nonetheless and could give us some hope that this nightmare may soon be over.  God leaves prophecy to (among other reasons) help console and strengthen those who might be living through the times foretold.  I saw some (Protestant) studies that used 360-day years to apply the 69 weeks (of years) in Daniel to come up with the precise time (to the very DAY) between the decree to rebuild the temple and Our Lord's resurrection.

I was thinking that Daniel used days here because he wanted the extra precision of being able to write about half a year.

I've LONG thought that the NOM must be the abomination of desolation.  That phrase fits it so well.  And someone once wrote in to the Dimonds that the phrase about an altar being place against altar referred to a second altar being placed in the temple right in front of the other one--as happened during the Antiochus abomination.  And so many NO churches have exactly that setup, with the Luther-table being place in front of the traditional altar (which was left because it was too expensive/difficult to remove).

Interestingly, Daniel was speaking about two different abomination of desolation events, parallel with one another.  Our Lord spoke of the abomination as coming in the future, and I recall that there are some indications in Daniel that there would be two of these events, one foreshadowing the other.  Interestingly, the Dimonds published someone else's analysis which showed erie parallels between four false high priests during the Maccabee times and John XXIII-John Paul II.  Not sure where Benedict XVI fits in there.

I know that most of you don't like the Dimonds, but this analysis was fascinating.  I'll try to dig it up and post it.  It wasn't actually their idea.  Evidently someone purporting to be a Biblical scholar wrote this thesis in to them.

And the Dimonds also had an interesting series of videos out making a pretty good case that the EU=the Beast and that the NO church=the whore of Babylon (riding the Beast).  As with all things Dimond, some parts were less convincing than others, but it was pretty good overall.  As I've said, I do NOT categorically endorse the Dimonds, but I give them credit for some of the good and intersting stuff they do put together.

Initially I bucked against their interpretation of Fatima, but finally conceded that it makes a certain amount of sense.  Unlike them, however, I do think that there's a second (full) consecration coming and a TRUE era of real peace.  That coincides with prophecies regarding the Great Monarch, the Holy Pope, and a period of Christendom being re-established throughout the world BEFORE the advent of Antichrist.

Just what I needed to perk me up!

Thanks ever so, Ladislaus. :wink:

Oh, you're welcome also, Alexandria.  I intially took this as a quasi-sarcastic comment  :furtive: -- which it probably was  .

Yes, the novus ordo began on the first Sunday of Advent, 1969 (a day that WILL live in infamy).  So that would bring 43 years to 2012 instead of 2011?  

Then this would explain why many people feel like they are losing their marbles (with the exception of a few, like Raoul :wink: ) - like the tension of what is to come is in the "spiritual atmosphere", and why crosses abound in personal lives.

We'll find out soon enough - if Our Lord grants us to live that long.

P.S. And, yes, I was being sarcastic.   :cool:

again, the Dimonds show their absolute ignorance and their clouding of thought by their obsessions.....

after advertising on Alex Jones, which allows many anti-Catholics to rant/rave and their opposition to the Church, they are more and more sounding like crack-pot Prots...which realy is what they are....

The Whore is the one world Govt/religious/social system to be set up, we are at the beginnings of it (NWO).....the Man of Sin is NOT a Govt or system-ie, the EU, but a Jєωιѕн man, a real person....

again, listening to them rots the brain....best to stick to Catholic writers that stick to 2000 yrs Catholic teaching and the testimony of the saints........

I see Belloc has not been reading my posts in the Fatima thread, ha ha.  This is precisely what we have been led to think through the most refined use of propaganda.  

( 1 ) Mystery Babylon / The Whore of Babylon is America, which is the cornerstone and symbol of the Universal Republic based on French Revolutionary principles.  

( 2 ) The Universal Republic IS the real nєω ωσrℓ∂ σr∂єr, the one the Illuminists and Masons dreamt of.

( 3 ) Vatican II is based on Americanist principles, and that is why Dignitatis Humanae reads like the Constitution, or like the Declaration of the Rights of Man, saying that all states MUST have religious liberty, a reversal of Church teaching.  America and Vatican II are connected by spiritual DNA and they will almost definitely go down in flames together.  

Secret Societies and Subversive Movements, Nesta Webster, pg. 193 --

"Has not the system of the ant-heap or the beehive proved, as I have pointed out elsewhere, the model on which modern Anarchists, from Proudhon onwards, have formed their schemes for the reorganization of human life?  Has not the idea of the "World State," the "Universal Republic" become the war cry of the Internationalist Socialists, the Grand Orient Masons, the Theosophists, and the world-revolutionaries of our own day?"

Pius X, Notre Charge Apostolique --

"We do not have to demonstrate here that the advent of universal Democracy is of no concern to the action of the Church in the world; we have already recalled that the Church has always left to the nations the care of giving themselves the form of government which they think most suited to their needs."

At best, this comment is naive.  At worst, it is something more than that, and the fact that Pius X was "sainted" by Pius XII is not a good sign.  Should I quote Pius XII giving his seemingly random speech on bees again?

Be afraid, be very afraid.  Actually, don't because --

( 4 ) Belloc, we are at the END of the NWO, or at least this version of it.  Not the beginning.  

If people here don't believe me, why do you think that in all the prophecies there is the emphasis on a MONARCH as being the one who restores the Church?  Don't you see the symmetry?  The Jєωs and Masons aimed their treachery against the Catholic monarchies, and it is when the Monarchy is restored that the Church is restored, at least temporarily.  

America is in no way standing against the NWO; America is Masonic to the core.  Our very flag is an echo of the tricolor of the French Revolution.  The separation of Church and state was the subversive principle that set the ball rolling for the Jєωs to take over and for the Vatican to eventually succuмb.  Our current Apostasy could never have possibly happened under the watch of Catholic princes, and so they were steadily removed through underhanded tactics and replaced with those amenable to our form of government.  

The whole world has not been "EU-ized," it has been Americanized.  Think of how all nations have Coca-Cola and McDonald's, how they know our movie stars, how we have exported our system of government everywhere, our feminism everywhere, our immorality everywhere, our support for Jєωιѕн goals everywhere -- all nations fornicate with the Whore of Babylon.
