The Warning did not occur on the day and time that I thought it would occur: 8:51 am (Eastern Time) Good Friday of 2016. This implies that the Consolation and Miracle also will not occur this year. There is no other possible day for the Warning, in my view, than Good Friday (of some year).
Next year, 2017, is a possibility. May 11th is a Thursday, and it is the vigil of the feast of Blessed Imelda. The timing of the Miracle was stated by the visionaries as 8:30 p.m. Garabandal time on a Thursday. So perhaps May 11th meets the conditions to be on the feast day of Blessed Imelda, since it is the vigil of that feast. Blessed Imelda herself died on the vigil of the feast of the Ascension; she died on the 12th, the feast of the Ascension was the 13th that year.
So that would make 14 April 2017 the day of the Warning, Good Friday that year, and 16 April 2017 the day of the Consolation, Easter Sunday.
I don’t think that the Warning, Consolation, and Miracle can occur as late as 2021 or 2022. I also don’t think any other young martyr is as good a fit as Blessed Imelda. So that is my new opinion on the date.
I’ll be rewriting my books of eschatology, with less emphasis on dates and more of an indication of the speculative nature of any stated possibilities for dates.
I will be removing my booklet The Warning, Consolation, and Miracle in 2016 from publication. A rewrite of my book, The Secrets of Medjugorje and Garabandal will contain all of the material from that booklet.
Thanks to everyone who supports my eschatology and other writings in theology.

Ron–as I mentioned in an earlier post, upon further reflection, it seems that if Mary wanted the seers to keep the dates secret, then she would not permit the dates to somehow be publically revealed by a third (non-seer) party. Clearly Mary’s intent was to NOT have Mary Loli and Conchita reveal the dates beforehand—it seems like publically revealing them would be contravening Mary’s will/intent…doesn’t it?
Ron I too have been an anonymous guest visitor to your site everyday for years now I think your work is excellent I think you are generally correct about most things its just hard to pin down a date keep fighting the good fight my friend
Ron why do you believe Imelda fits Conchitas words at all?
I believe only one saint fits that detailed description and it is of course Tarcisius.
The fact that his Roman Feastday does not fit other alleged words from Conchita is surely not germane to this independent, stand alone point.
I have closely followed your blog and other sites and see all your purported dates come and go without anything happening.
Next year will be the same.
I think this is due to one fundamental flaw in your analysis, and that is believing that the Garabandal apparitions are true.
They are not. Joey died without receiving his eyesight back. Believing in them is a grave mistake. I do not know (and will not speculate) if what happened to the girls in Garabandal was something of true supernatural origin or they were just craving for attention.
Maybe it is time to drop belief on these apparitions.
I am still on the fence on Medjugorje.

While I was disappointed that the Warning did not occur I still emphatically support your works. Your writings have most certainly inspired me to learn more about our faith and to become a better Catholic. Thank you for the time and effort you put in to your work.
Only God knows the dates but Our Lady gave some hints..so she kinda wants us to think about it.
That being said, it sounds stange to me that the Virgin Mary would give hints to guess.
Anyway, if the apparitions of Garabandal are true (not official position from the Vatican yet), i believe the date of the Miracle will be April 13 of 2017.
Despite what Ron says, that’s the day of a martyr. For the warning all we know is that it’ll happen within 1 year before the miracle.
Ron,
I think what you have done is awaken a lot of folks just because the warning didn’t happen this year gives more time to those who need to change their lives. This in fact being the year of Mercy. Your book reminded me that I need to be ready, by going to confession more often and stay the course. Its really hard in these times to see what is happening all over the world, Plan Parent Hood harvesting baby parts, Brussels, San Beradino and so much more….plus we need to discern as well. But something has to happen maybe part of Christains purgatory is watching all that is going on and having such a heavy heart knowing that pray can only change hearts and God himself. But I clearly see that the Warning is needed in a big way. But only in Gods time. Thank you for allowing me to post…Patti
Ron, I think the de-emphasis on dates you propose is a good thing. My own personal experience with focusing on dates in the 1990s caused me to put things off in matters of faith and elsewhere. It may seem counter-intuitive, but for many lukewarm or poorly catechized Catholics (which I was at the time), the idea that world-transforming supernatural events are about to occur can induce a certain passivity or fatalism.
I know that such an effect is not your intent, and greatly respect the time and energy you give to your witness. I do look forward to reading your review of the coming post-synodal apostolic exhortation. I have found your commentary to be a good tonic when digesting some of the more alarmist responses to Pope Francis’ activities. Have a blessed Easter.
I too appreciate your work, though I find a great deal of speculation in it about specific interpretations of Revelation and also assigning dates. I do not find your reason for concluding that the warning will happen on Good Friday to be compelling, or that the miracle and consolation must occur on Easter Sunday. As I understand it from one of your books, you believe these must be directly tied to a clearly Christian feast or the events will be more easily co-opted by non-Christians. (Please forgive me if I don’t fully recall your position.) That said, I too suspect we are close, but only God knows the dates. They will be perfect, in His time, and will coincide with the largest catch of souls possible. This makes the events in individual’s lives more important than the Church calendar, perhaps. I’m not sure what importance May 13th and then Oct 13th had before Fatima, but they are important now. It is only my own speculation, but it would make sense that the warning and miracles take place during the Year of Mercy and then, unfortunately, there comes judgment.
Thank you and God bless.
Thank you for your work, Ron. I think the warning will happen at a completely random time, very soon. Could still be this weekend. Nonetheless, what you have written lately has probably made more than a few examine themselves, and go back to church and confession recently. If that is true, and I believe it is, than this has all been worthwhile.
