The entire book, in the second and latest edition, is now available in print here. This second edition has revised dates for the first and second secrets of Medjugorje and for the Warning of Garabandal, clarifies certain points, and adds more than 50 pages of new material. If you have the first edition, here is a downloadable free PDF file, which has all of the substantial changes and new material in the new edition.
Countdown Clock to the Warning At Garabandal, and again at Medjugorje, the Virgin Mary appeared to a group of children and gave them secrets about the near future. At Garabandal, these are called the Warning, the Miracle, and the Chastisement. At Medjugorje, they are called the ten secrets. This book proposes that the dates and events of these 13 secrets can be known from a study of the Bible, of Catholic eschatology, and of the words of the Virgin Mary in various apparitions. Please understand that my writings about the future are speculative eschatology, based on study and interpretation, not based on knowledge that is absolute or certain. Here is a list of my books on eschatology and other topics. You can buy the book: The Secrets of Medjugorje and Garabandal Revealed at Amazon.com |

These articles are now only available in the ebook or printed book.
V. Overview of the Future This chapter lists the predicted events in order with their respective dates. It is a concise overview of future events from the present time until the return of Jesus Christ and the Virgin Mary in 2437 A.D. Frequently Asked Questions: Q1: Didn't the Virgin Mary say, at Medjurgorje and at Garabandal, that there would not be a 3rd world war? A: Yes, but the war called World War 3 is not a truly worldwide war. There will never be a true world war, in which all nations go to war, nor one in which all the superpowers go to war (e.g. U.S., Russia, China). Mary said there would not be a world war; that is what she meant. If you read what Mary said at La Salette, it is clear that there will be severe wars in the future. Q2: How do you know that the Warning will be Good Friday in 2009 or 2010, and that the Miracle will be May 13th, 2010? A: It's complicated. This is just a brief overview: The date of the Miracle can be determined from the things that Mary said at Garabandal, and from a knowledge of eschatology. The Miracle occurs on the feast day of a young martyr of the Eucharist, and on a Thursday, and between certain months and days of the month. There are not many young martyrs of the Eucharist who fit. The only one that I found after extensive search is Blessed Imelda. Here are 12 reasons why she is the correct young martyr: http://www.catholicplanet.com/secrets/garabandal-miracle.htm Her feast day is May 13th, which in some years is not only a Thursday, but Ascension Thursday. God places the Warning and the Miracle on important days in the Church's calendar so that people are not drawn away from the Catholic Church by these immensely powerful events. There are various other future events that can be known from a study of the Bible and eschatology. The Warning and Miracle are closely connected to these events, have a strong influence on them, and so must occur first. Also, at Garabandal it was said that Joey Lomangino would be healed of his blindness, but he is now elderly. The only day that fits is May 13th, 2010. The next time that her feast day falls on Ascension Thursday is in 2021, too late because of Joey's age and because of all the other events in eschatology that will occur before then. Once the date of the Miracle is established, the Warning occurs about a year earlier, and it must occur on Good Friday, as indicated by Scripture: [Zechariah] {12:10} And I will pour out upon the house of David and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of prayers. And they will look upon me, whom they have pierced, and they will mourn for him as one mourns for an only son, and they will feel sorrow over him, as one would be sorrowful at the death of a firstborn. The Warning shows us the sins on our conscience, and on Good Friday, Jesus died for our sins. Also, if the Warning did not occur on an important date in the liturgical calendar, then this event might lead people away from the Church. Since God wants everyone to be led to the Catholic Church, He places the Warning, the Consolation, and the Miracle on dates that will lead people to the Church: Good Friday, Easter Sunday, Ascension Thursday.
