Personally, I don't think this is the "end." I believe that the time is coming where a true pope has to step forward. The shadow church can't exist much longer. There has to be three days darkness, which I think might happen within the next few years, but the communists have to appear to win first, I think, for at least a while, maybe a few years.
The antichrist, I believe, won't be around until after we've had a "period of peace" which I don't think will last 1,000 years. I think it'll last more like 30-40, but this would have to occur after the 3 days darkness.
I don't think we've seen the end of what Our Lady said would happen at Fatima all those years ago. She said, "Many nations would be annihilated." Well, so far, we've seen the "wars, and rumors of wars," but not many annihilated nations.
I think that's what Malachi Martin meant when, back in 1999, he said something will happen, "soon."
