    How do you think one should prepare? Is there really anything different we should be doing, then what we are most likely already doing?
    I think there's absolutely no difference because we always need to seek sanctity, we need to be ready to die any day, so the only thing that matters is to become saints, whatever happens.

    I agree, but why do some people seem to get so worried and stressed about it? Isn't that just a lack of Trust in God?

    According to the Epistle of Barnabus (which was highly regarded by early Church fathers), the end will come around 6,000 years after Christ so we are only about 33% of the way to the end.

    Incorrect. Epistle of Barnabas says 6000 year from the Creation of the World:

    https://www.earlychristianwritings.com/text/barnabas-lightfoot.html


    Quote
    Barnabas 15:3
    Of the Sabbath He speaketh in the beginning of the creation; And
    God made the works of His hands in six days, and He ended on the
    seventh day, and rested on it, and He hallowed it.

    Barnabas 15:4
    Give heed, children, what this meaneth; He ended in six days. He
    meaneth this, that in six thousand years the Lord shall bring all
    things to an end; for the day with Him signifyeth a thousand years;
    and this He himself beareth me witness, saying; Behold, the day of
    the Lord shall be as a thousand years.     Therefore, children, in six
    days, that is in six thousand years, everything shall come to an end.

    Barnabas 15:5
    And He rested on the seventh day. this He meaneth; when His Son
    shall come, and shall abolish the time of the Lawless One, and shall
    judge the ungodly, and shall change the sun and the moon and the
    stars, then shall he truly rest on the seventh day.


    The Hebrew Calendar says it is year 5785 since Creation. And I'm sure everyone trusts the Jews, right?

    We are right around 2000 years since Calvary.

    Keep the Commandments as perfectly as you can. Go to confession weekly if possible. Assist at the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass as often as possible. Pray a full 15 decade Rosary daily. Develop a more intimate love for the Sacred and Immaculate Hearts, making additional voluntary acts of self-denial for sins against them every day.

    • Just a question to all. What is 100,000 years compared to eternity/God? Is it not even a grain of sand in a desert?

    The question answers itself.

    No.

    People have been thinking the end of the world was imminent for most of Christian history.

    Yeah, but have we ever had such a Great Apostasy with a 60-year series of Anti-Popes and an Anti-Church?  People in the past were focusing on numerology, e.g. the year 1000 or various false private revelations, etc.

    If this isn't the Great Apostasy, I would not want to see it ... no, it clearly is.

    The whore of Babylon is literally on earth right now.

    100%.  Sister Lucia when asked stated that we were in a certain chapter of the Apocalypse.  Conciliar Church is the Whore of Babylon, and this is clearly the Great Apostasy.  So what percentage of the earth's inhabitants still have the Catholic faith?  About 17% of the earth's population "identify as" Catholic, and based on their own polls it would be generous to say that 10% still have the faith or any semblance thereof.  So, what? ... perhaps 1% of the earth's population of 8 billion souls actually still have the faith.   And, of those, all but the Traditional Catholics are just barely clinging to the faith with white knuckles and their Catholic senses are nearly shot.

    Who is she? I say she because men are not usually called whores.

    SHE is the Conciliar Church ... fits the description perfectly.

    I feel the same way, yet many have thought the same things for centuries. 

    Sure, but find a time where we're looking at an Anti-Church that has eclipsed the True Church and a long series of (effectively) Anti-Popes ... even if you think they're technically popes, they've been antipopes for all intents and purposes.

    Where did you get the "after Christ" part?  That Epistle said 6,000 years of human toil, with human toil being the punishment of Adam for the Original Sin ... so we're right about there.

    No, any one of us could drop dead at any second, but these prophecies were given us so that we would not lose heart and despair.  In fact, in the lecture series by Bishop Williamson I posted on the other thread (parts of it), he indicates that the message is that "in the end, God wins", to give us hope and to hearten us.  So, if we see a Great Apostasy and falling away and this imposter pretending to be Christ, don't fall for it, that it's not He.  If you are tempted to lose the faith because the Church has appeared to defect, hang in there, since it had to happen and was allowed to happen, and is not what it seems.

    THAT is why we were given this Revelation and many private revelations as well, including Fatima.

    • Those who don't realize what objectively extraordinary times we live in have been frog-boiled into somehow accepting this situation as a "New Normal", and part of it that does come from the fruits of R&R, and the SSPX are most advanced in this thinking.  There is nothing close to not being earth-shattering about the state of the Church.  Period.  If you think that "this too shall pass" or "no big deal" ... then you're already in the process of losing your faith.
