ps. I've also read in prophecies that after the 3 days of darkness, we return to a feudal age, there's no more technology and electricity, everything goes back to the better age. ? is this true?

Does anyone have any info regarding this? I tried Google but it isn't being my friend.

I could live without electricity and plumbing, and have done so for short periods of time, but it would be nice to know if I need to dig a latrine and buy a horse.

If we can build generators after 3DD, why should we assume that all generators operating before 3DD won't work afterwords, unless they get cooked by the fire storm. If God will protect me, my house, land, and animals (I'm thinking here of the Jesuits in Hiroshima), why should I believe that He won't also protect my truck or computer, etc.

If technology gets destroyed during 3dd because it's pagan (as someone described it elsewhere on CI) why would it work afterwords. Does it get blessed?

 :scratchchin:

Post 3DD, our tractor will be running... without petroleum.

Will tractors run on grace?

I'm sure electricity will return before too long, though there being no more technology doesn't really surprise me.

Guess we'll all have to enjoy posting on CatholicInfo while it's still here.

Forcing us into a situation where we are deprived of those comforts and conveniences that have been provided us by modern technology will serve as a means of getting us back in tune with our original purpose on earth and force us to do penance for our misdeeds, if but for a time.

Yes, just so. Without technology, the bad effects it has on society will be undone, and natural roles will be resumed. Men and women will not have all the conveniences that allow gender roles to be more easily out of place.

But, technology will come back to some degree.

Then comes the time of Antichrist, and then Antichrist's failure and defeat, and yet many men will not convert -- simply it would seem likely, because of the allurements and enticements of technology. The 'so great riches and pleasures' St. Vincent predicts, might well be this.

Entertainment media, drugs, etc. Though who knows how advanced it may all become. Drugs with practically no side effects that produce constant happiness may exist by then, as well as entertainment that produces itself. Antichrist certainly will thoroughly exploit science to his own ends.

I suppose it doesn't have to be particularly advanced at all in the end, we can just look at how it is today with the TV.


'After Antichrist has been slain by lightning on Mount Olivet and his death has been made widely known through out the world, this our earth will exist for forty-five more days; I do not say years, but days. This is clearly to be seen in Daniel (12:11) : "And from the time when the continual sacrifice shall be taken away and the abomination of desolation shall be set up, there shall be one thousand, two hundred and ninety days. Blessed is he that waiteth and cometh unto the one thousand, three hundred and thirty-five days."

The Doctors say that these forty-five days will be given by God for the conversion of those who have been seduced by Antichrist, but Antichrist will have left behind him so great riches and pleasure that hardly any of the nations will be converted to the Faith of Christ. For there is no savior but Christ, and yet they will not be converted.'

St. Vincent Ferrer

I remember a sermon a few years ago recommending to pull up flowerbeds and put in vegetables, fruit trees and so forth. I did all that and while the world has not yet gone completely bezerk, the garden is subsidising our food bill nicely. We went for the permaculture garden approach because it doesn't require anything from a store. I reckon food security will be the hardest thing. Malnutrition will kill faster than lack of energy.

Even better, uproot your non-edible flowers and replace them with edible ones like Dalliah- pinnata, and other edibles that look like weeds or ornamentals.
