In a previous post, I answer the question: What is the Warning, Consolation, and Miracle? In this post, I discuss when the Warning, Consolation, and Miracle will occur. Will it be this year, or some other year?

Formerly, I thought the Warning would occur in 2022 or possibly 2023. Those years match the date of the young martyr of the Eucharist, Blessed Imelda, with the right day of the week, Thursday. However, I could be mistaken about the identity of the martyr or about the day of the Miracle.

Also, in my eschatology, there are many other events which must be fit within the time frame from the start of the Warning to the Three Days of Darkness (in 2040). If the Warning were in 2022 or 2023, not may years would be left for World War 3 and World War 4 and other events.

I also expect that the Warning will occur during the reign of Pope Francis, and that he is the successor of Peter who, like Peter at the Transfiguration, will suggest “three booths” or three places of worship in Jerusalem for the three monotheistic religions: Judaism, Christianity, Islam. This occurs in reaction to the Warning. Pope Francis suggests this joining of the three religions in prayer worldwide, and also suggests the three places of worship in Jerusalem, so that the city is shared by the three religions.

In addition, there is not much time left for the rest of the events of Pope Francis’ reign, particularly the hideous fruition of the conservative schism. The conservatives have not yet formally departed from the Church, though many are already excommunicated, automatically, without realizing it. Their departure prepares the way for the great apostasy, during the first part of the tribulation.

If the Warning of Garabandal is this year, then it will be announced three days before. And the Warning can only occur on Good Friday of some year, so Tuesday, April 7th, would be three days before. And April 7th is the true date of the Crucifixion. The first secret of Medjugorje is the Warning of Garabandal, so the announcement three days before would be from the priest who will speak for the visionaries. At Medjugorje, the apparitions to one of the visionaries on the second of the month have ceased. This might be a foreshadowing of the start of the secrets.

When the Warning occurs, it will happen about 8:51 a.m. East Coast Time. And it will be experienced by everyone around the world at the same instant, no matter what time zone they may be in. We will know on Good Friday, certainly, whether this is the year.

In whatever year the Warning occurs, the Miracle is the same year, in the month of May (not April), probably on the 11th, 12th, or 13th of the month — about the time of the martyrdom of Blessed Imelda.

I am hoping that the Warning is this year, but let me caution the reader that this post is highly speculative, and that dates and events in eschatology are difficult to determine. I have been wrong about the date of the Warning and therefore about dates for other events at the start of the tribulation many times before. So consider this post to be only a discussion of possibilities.
