How Pope Francis will respond to the Warning of Garabandal
At the Warning, as predicted in my eschatology, the Pope will respond to the event by suggesting three prominent places of worship (three tabernacles), one for each of the three great monotheistic religions: Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. This is my unique interpretation of Sacred Scripture.
[Matthew 17]
{17:1} And after six days, Jesus took Peter and James and his brother John, and he led them onto a lofty mountain separately.
{17:2} And he was transfigured before them. And his face shined brightly like the sun. And his garments were made white like snow.
{17:3} And behold, there appeared to them Moses and Elijah, speaking with him.
{17:4} And Peter responded by saying to Jesus: “Lord, it is good for us to be here. If you are willing, let us make three tabernacles here, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”
{17:5} And while he was still speaking, behold, a shining cloud overshadowed them. And behold, there was a voice from the cloud, saying: “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased. Listen to him.”
{17:6} And the disciples, hearing this, fell prone on their face, and they were very afraid.
{17:7} And Jesus drew near and touched them. And he said to them, “Rise up and do not be afraid.”
{17:8} And lifting up their eyes, they saw no one, except Jesus alone.
At the Warning, each person will find himself or herself alone with their conscience, lifted up to this high state by God: “a lofty mountain separately” (verse 17:1). The Warning (a.k.a. the illumination of conscience) prompts an increase in the holiness of the members of the Church, so it will be a type of transfiguration of the Church (17:2). The three figures seen by Peter, James, and John were Jesus, Moses, and Elijah (17:4). Jesus represents Christianity; Moses represents Judaism, and Elijah, being a great prophet, represents Muhammad and Islam. At the time that the Gospel of Matthew was written, Muhammad was not yet born and Islam had not yet begun. That is why Elijah is used to represent Islam.
The voice of God the Father is then heard, stating that Jesus is the beloved Son of God, and that we should listen to Him (17:5). This places Christianity above Judaism and Islam. At the Warning, only Catholic Christianity will have predicted the event and will understand the event best. Many persons will turn to Catholicism and to individual Catholics for answers to their questions prompted by the Warning. They will listen to Jesus through His followers.
The world will generally respond to the Warning with fear (17:6). However, the most faithful will not be afraid to be shown the sins on their conscience by God. Now God does not show everyone all their sins, objectively or as He sees them. No, that is not what happens. There is only one particular judgment for each person, and it occurs only after death. So all that is revealed are a person’s sins still on their conscience. Therefore, go to confession before Good Friday, 2022, which is April 15th and the day of the Warning.
Two days after the Warning — and this prediction is only in my writings, it was not mentioned at Garabandal — on Easter Sunday, the Consolation occurs. This event only affects those who repented in response to the Warning. in this event, Jesus draws near to the repentant and touches their souls, consoling them in their sorrow and alleviating their fear (17:7).
The Warning and Consolation will cause many persons to lift up their eyes to God and figuratively see Jesus alone, meaning that they will convert to Christianity and often to Catholicism (17:8).
This is my interpretation of the passages in the Gospels on the transfiguration of Jesus, which I believe has an eschatological meaning (as well as other meanings). But in the Gospel of Mark, the same event is described with a particular additional fact:
[Mark 9]
{9:1} And after six days, Jesus took with him Peter, and James, and John; and he led them separately to a lofty mountain alone; and he was transfigured before them.
{9:2} And his vestments became radiant and exceedingly white like snow, with such a brilliance as no fuller on earth is able to achieve.
{9:3} And there appeared to them Elijah with Moses; and they were speaking with Jesus.
{9:4} And in response, Peter said to Jesus: “Master, it is good for us to be here. And so let us make three tabernacles, one for you, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”
{9:5} For he did not know what he was saying. For they were overwhelmed by fear.
{9:6} And there was a cloud overshadowing them. And a voice came from the cloud, saying: “This is my most beloved Son. Listen to him.”
{9:7} And immediately, looking around, they no longer saw anyone, except Jesus alone with them.
Peter responds to the transfiguration by suggesting three tabernacles, one each for Jesus, Moses, and Elijah. But he did not know what he was saying. That did not happen at the time.
My eschatological interpretation is that the Pope Francis, who is the successor of Peter, will respond to the Warning by suggesting three prominent places of worship (three tabernacles), one for each of the three great monotheistic religions: Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. But he will not understand that this cannot yet occur, as a war is about to unfold between the Muslim nations led by extremists and the Christian nations of Europe and the U.S. So this suggestion of the pope will not occur until after the first part of the tribulation has ended (in 2040 AD).
Notice for my End Times articles:
1. Please note that my predictions are speculative and fallible, and that my writings on the future have erred many times in the past. My eschatology is presented for the readers’ consideration, and should not be treated as certain or absolute.
2. The End Times is divided into two parts: the first part is for this generation, then there is a long respite of a few hundred years, and finally the second part of the End Times occurs with the Return of Christ.
3. This first part of the End Times (or “tribulation”) does not include the Antichrist, nor the Return of Jesus Christ, nor the general Resurrection. Those things occur much later.
4. Do not believe what the news and entertainment industry says about the future, nor about religion. Do not listen to claimed prophets, visionaries, and the like, when they interpret current events or predict the future, especially when they are celebrated by the media. Do not listen to those who accuse any Pope or Ecumenical Council of grave errors or grave failings of faith. The Church will never fail or go astray. Never.
5. I anticipate that I and my writings on the future will be subject to distortions, lies, and false accusations. Do not believe the mass media, various prominent speakers or commentators, or internet rumors about what I supposedly wrote, said, or predicted. Instead, obtain my words and ideas from my websites or my books.
[Matthew]
{24:6} For you will hear of battles and rumors of battles. Take care not to be disturbed. For these things must be, but the end is not so soon.
