Miracle at Keningau: The Virgin Mary appeared?
June 8th, 2007Update 19th June
Ms Elizabeth Luan, in her comment in mrbadak.com’s blog post about this datestamped 18th June, 12.36pm said:
It is quite interesting to know that there are still many non-believers out there. I have visited the place and took some picture of the cross. I was skeptical but when I saw some more picture that looked like our Lord Jesus and Mother Mary, I was astonished. I have interviewed the lady who was the first person who saw the cross on the coconut leaf. I find it quite interesting because she was not a Christian and her husband was paralysed. But she has been praying and one day a voice (male) asked her to look up. And there she saw the cross! From then onwards, her paralysed husband can now walk and they all converted to Christian. I dont know about you all, but I do believe her story and I have recorded it. Hopefully, I will be able to burn it to cd so that I can distribute to all who are interested to know how actually it has started. And for those who said the cross was caused by bugs or insects, can you please tell what insect/bug that is so intelligent to create a cross on a coconut tree? It will be interesting to know.
It is yet to be confirmed whether she’s talking about the event at Kg Ulu Patikang or at Kg Masak, since the New Sabah Times’ report on 11th June said that she’s a Catholic (I am assuming Catholics are also considered Christians) and did not say anything about the state of the lady’s husband’s health, except that he’s an odd-job worker.
New Sabah Times carried a further report on 11th June: it said that thousands of people have since come from as far away as Sandakan to this place located a 10-minute drive away from Keningau town to see the trees for themselves since 18th May, 6.30pm: the date and time the images supposedly first appeared and seen by Felnny Jelius, 12, who while she was inside her house, heard a voice speaking to her from above and outside.
In fact, I saw somewhere a supposed picture of Felnny but can’t recall where it is now.
Looking up, she saw the cross on the coconut tree “with shimmering lights penetrating it.” According to her mother, Nulitah Tuin, there are in fact 2 crosses, each visible from either side of the tree. Her family are Catholics, economically poor and 2 of the children, Felnny herself and Feliney, 6 are thallassemia sufferers. Nulitah has another child, 11-year old Didi, a boy.
Evin Mahap came to visit the tree at Kg Ulu Patikang 3 times and on 4th June around 6.15pm he “noticed something in front of the coconut palm.” While taking the pictures. he noticed that he “could see the image of Lord Jesus through the viewfinder but not through naked eyes.” He further said that as far as he knew, “at least six different images of Lord Jesus and Mother Mary were captured through the digital cameras of six different people.”
The paper also reported that at least 5 crosses have formed on 2 trees at Kg Masak.

Update 17th June
The Catholic Bishop of the Diocese of Keningau, Cornelius Piong has issued a special pastoral letter dated 12th June 2007, with the following text. Thanks to Rose for the alert.
To all Priests, Religious and Laity of Keningau Diocese
May the peace of Christ be with us all.
I write this special Pastoral Letter in view of the phenomenon happening in Kg Patikang and Kg Masak Keningau and the perceptions held by some Catholics. This phenomenon involves apparitions of a cross and Mother Mary ‘claimed’ to be seen by many people and proven with photos. However, these are only images.
To all Catholics and groups in each parish and mission, we must be cautious in accepting and believing in a phenomenon such as this. In cases like this, the Church will not rush into accepting and approving it per se.
If this phenomenon is true, it will definitely bear good fruits in the lives of the faithful and society. Among them, the faithful will be aware and fulfill their responsibilities toward God, one another and society.
In short, if this phenomenon is true, a sense of repentance will well-up among the faithful and in society. For those who have seen the images and are touched personally, well and good, for this is the effect that we are hoping for.
However, let us realise that true Christian faith is based on faith and our right personal relationship with Jesus.
He is present to us through the Sacraments, His Word, through one another and in His creation and is not influenced by ‘apparition’ as the phenomenon occuring at Kg Patikang and Kg Masak, keningau.
No matter what, phenomenon such as this must be perceived carefully and with wisdom:
i) The Catholic Church through the Diocese of Keningau does not approve it per se. Catholics are advised not to do the following: ‘donate money to the coconut tree’ (as some people may take advantage of the situation), conduct novena, pray the rosary, kneel and light candle beneath the coconut tree – these may depict false worship and shallow faith.
ii) Revelation of God is complete through Jesus His Son (Heb 1:1-2). There is no need for us to search for external signs to signify the presence of God. God is usually present in ordinary ways so much so that we fail to recognise and accept Him (Jn 1:10-14).
iii) Usually the revelation of Jesus or Mother Mary takes place on a personal basis, as in Lourdes and Fatima, not with images. Falsification may happen in religious matters.
St Paul has reminded the faithful in Corinth on deception and false apostles, “for Satan himself masquerades as angel of light…” (2 Cor 11:3, 14).
In this IT age, people can falsify many things, documents, images, etc. Don’t let ourselves be influenced. What is most bizzare is that the said ‘apparition’ can move from place to place.
Let us not be disturbed, influenced or even fooled by the various perceptions and assumptions made regarding this phenomenon (Mt 24:4).
True faith is faith in Jesus, united with Him and consistently doing His will through the Church and in our daily lives (Mt 24:13, 23).
As faithful in the Diocese of Keningau, let us continue to be united and faithful to Jesus and His Church in our daily lives, guided by our Diocesan Pastoral Theme, wanting and choosing to serve only Him, our Lord and to form our faith and social responsibilities.
Let us together be responsible in facing this phenomenon so that our actions will not give room and opportunity to others to exploit and abuse the Church, the cross and Mother Mary for personal gains through fearful threats such as ‘chain SMS’ etc.
“Eucharist: core of our culture of worship, faith formation and social responsibility.”
Bishop Cornelius Piong
The text of the letter can also be found at the official website of the Catholic Diocese of Kota Kinabalu.

Update 15th June
Video taken on 7th June 2007 starting 6 something pm of the coconut tree at Kg Masak, Keningau. Kg Masak is located near Kg Ulu Patikang. It shows what it’s like to walk to the place where the coconut tree stood, passing by the many people going back home after having a look, the people milling around the tree even though it was already getting dark, then finally the tree itself as it contrasts with the darkening sky. Apparently, for this particular tree, the cross only appeared the day before i.e. 6th of June.
——————————
Update 14th June
raburabu-ame wrote in her blog entry dated 12th June and timestamped 1.42pm that she visited the place late on the 10th of June and the next day too:
We went to see it shortly after arriving and it was already late but when I arrived, I could see it for just a few moments before darkness took over. I couldn’t take a picture that time because it was already too dark for even my dad’s digital camera to work. So we went back the next day. The villagers there told us that the night before, there was a very bright light, and a person resembling Jesus with His arms raised on top of the coconut tree. It happened around 10pm. Too bad we missed it. No pictures of that though, because just as people were scrambling to get their cameras, the apparition disappeared.

Update 13th June
Annie Petrus has created a photo montage of the pictures that she took. It includes pictures not previously shown on her blog.
———————————
Update 12th June
Ms Cathrine Stephen has sent me 2 new pictures which she claimed to have taken herself last week.
The 1st picture is what she titled “Virgin Mary kneeling” and dated 8th June:

The 2nd picture is of the Virgin Mary on 10th June:

Update 11th June
In the last few days I have received 2 chain SMSes with the following message [in Malay]:
AKU MARIA BUNDAMU merasa sedih dan duka melihat penderitaan manusia. Kirimkan kepada 9 orang dan esok anda akan menerima berita baik. Pesanan dari Pope m s 6-1. Kemunculan salip di daun kelapa di Kg Patikang dan di Kg Masak Keningau.
Translation:
I, Mary your Mother, am feeling sad seeing the suffering of humankind. Send [this SMS] to 9 people and tomorrow you will receive good news. News from the Pope m s 6-1 (sic). The appearance of cross(es) at coconut leaf(es) at Kg Patikang and Kg Masak, Keningau.
—————————————————————-
Annie Petrus Sapil, a studio photographer from Keningau has taken higher quality pictures of a coconut tree at Ulu Patikang and another coconut tree and rumbia tree vaguely showing a figure apparently at another place at Jalan Bariawa. She created a blog to showcase the pictures at stories-from-keningau.blogspot.com
Here’s one of the pics she posted which nicely shows the position of the tree at Jln Bariawa in relation to the nearest house.

Another picture from her blog which shows the tree at Kg Ulu Patikang:

Another picture from her blog which shows the crowd at Kg Ulu Patikang:

—————————————————————–
According to New Sabah Times and Daily Express on 8th June 2007, it started on 18th May.
Little bird 1 said:
- there are 4 coconut trees in which a leaf end of each look like Christian crosses;
- 3 of them are in Kg Masak Villa – the trees are about 20m apart. Little bird visited a tree in this village and said that after asking around, apparently the cross only appeared on 6th June;
- the other one is at Kg Ulu Patikang, which is located near Kg Masak Villa
- one of the coconut trees bears an image of the Virgin Mary;
- all hotels in Keningau are now fully occupied by out-of-town people flocking to see it.
I was forwarded a set of pics from a Ms Cathrine Stephen, dated 6th June. She vouched for the authenticity of the pictures.
Image of Virgin Mary among coconut leaves

Close up image of the Virgin Mary

This one is a circular object which seems to float above the leaves. She said many believe the circular object is a “body of Christ” (= the host = a thin, round wafer made from bread and used for Holy Communion in a Catholic mass), and that even the nuns said so. She said after forwarding this picture to her overseas friends, they said it [the design] seems to be from the Roman Empire period.

A closeup view of the circular object:

Today she sent me another picture which she took herself on the 7th of June. This seems to have been taken at daytime, from exactly the same spot as the picture bearing the circular object above. Can you see the cross?

She further said on 7th of June, 2 nuns saw the Virgin Mary wearing a crown.
Little bird 2 said that a girl suffering from Thalassemia living near the tree was the first person to see the miracle, and that her ailment was found to have been cured on her next visit to the hospital.
Little bird 2 further said that apparently this is the 2nd time an apparition of the Virgin Mary has appeared in Sabah. The first was in the early 1970s on a riverbank of the Papar River. After it was “blocked from view by the authorities”, it was never seen again.

Hmm.. I can’t seem to see anything on the last picture. But yeah.. that’s pretty interesting. As for the girl suffering from Thalassemia, good for her! =)
There’s something that looks like a cross on the leaf stem. The vertical part is along the stem and the horizontal part is located nearer the top. The top end of the cross is not so clear.
Is Ulu Patikang gonna be the next Fatima???….
But as mrbadak said, it’s also possible that this is just a pareidolia, meaning: it’s just a natural phenomenon, nothing to get too excited about.
Yoku nopo oh koito nga, miagal do topod do tangangatar ih piasau.. nampak sangat yang daun kelapa tu bekas kena makan tu serangga.. Years of accumulated experiences in photography, i can only say this, those blurr images that potray resemblance of some holy figures was a result of enlarged zooming capacity of a camera or a device that used to shot at that particular spot. Compare those with the photos taken by that experienced photographer….Mungkin inilah akibat kalau banyak sangat tingo wayang Harry potter.. he he for me everyday is a miracle, and I thank The Creator for this daily miracle…
memang ini adalah disebabkan sejenis penyakit yang menyerang pokok kelapa. tidak lama lagi hujung daun itu akan terputus termasuk pelepahnya juga mungkin dalam 4-5 bulan akan datang. mungkin masa ini daun di pucujk itu sudah pun terlipat atau terkulai. saya biasa melihat fenomena ini berhampiran rumah saya dan beberapa pokok sekarang ini sudah hampir kehabisan daunnya hingga ke pangkal pelepah. jika ada sesiapa yang inginkan bukti sila maklumkan saya, dan saya akan tunjukkan di sekitar Kepayan, KK.
jadilah umat yang berilmu bukan sekadar mendengar cereka.
Same story at Palembang.
Will something bad happen in Keningau?
Palis-palis…
I think after what happened in Keningau in December 1996, we just gotta be prepared for any eventualities.
I’m of the opinion that everyone has their own belief. Be it a natural phanomena or divine apirations, its there to be studied, explained or worshipped so long as there’s no untowards coincidence. Whatever religion we profess or an atheist maybe, it’s there for everyone to define. Its all in the heart.
This is the second time she( virgin Mary) remind us…Jadi berjaga2lah
thank you god.u shown us your power.i dunno wat will happen next.but this will be a great story and reminder for all mankind.i kn ow maybe its because of lina joys story also.and u want o come to show them the truth.God let them see and believe.i trust in you.

Our Lady of Fatima ~
On May 13, 1917, in a field called Cova da Iria near the Portuguese village of Fatima, “a beautiful lady from Heaven”, shining like the sun and standing on a cloud over a beech tree, appeared to three children: Lucia Dos Santos (age 10) and her two cousins, Francisco (9) and Jacinta Marti (7). Lucia saw and heard the Madonna and spoke with her. Jacinta also saw and heard her, but did not speak, and Francisco only saw the Virgin. The radiant being spoke with the children for several minutes, and asked them to meet her again at the same place on the 13th of each month until October. Then, she promised, she would identify herself.
The Madonna reappeared six times in all, and the reports of the events drew increasing crowds of spectators. About 50 persons attended on June 13, and nearly 70,000 were present on October 13. Many witnesses saw a bright cloud over the beech tree, but only the three children could see and hear the woman.
At the behest of a group of political activists and doubters who wished to “put an end to the nonsense,” the civil prefect of Outrem seized, interrogated and threatened the children for two days in the hope of forcing a confession of fraud from them. Though the children had been prevented from meeting the Madonna on August 13, she appeared to them on August 19 at Valinhos, near the site of her first appearance. The Madonna then told them that she would appear a final time on October 13, and then produce a miracle.
On that day the Madonna transmitted the prophecy known as the Secret of Our Lady of the Rosary. It was a rainy day, but newspaper journalists who were eyewitnesses reported that the rain stopped suddenly and the sun reappeared. In the words of A. Garret, a professor at Coimbra University, the sun looked like “a burnished wheel cut out of mother of pearl. This disc spun dizzily around… It whirled upon itself with mad rapidity, then advanced, blood red, towards the Earth, threatening to crush us with its weight.” Terrified spectators fell to their knees in prayer. The sun returned to normal, then twice again repeated the prodigy. In addition, the rain-soaked clothes of the audience dried out during the brief time of the solar phenomenon.
The Solar Miracle at Fatima
The Secret of Our Lady of the Rosary is a three-part prophecy that she ordered to be kept secret for 25 years or until the death of Lucia, whichever came first. Francisco and Jacinta died in the influenza pandemic that ravaged Europe in 1918 and 1919. Lucia became a Dorothe Sister, and in 1948 she became a Barefoot Carmelite in a closed convent at Coimbra. Lucia learned to write, and recorded the text of the secret prophecy. This was kept in the Bishopric of Leiria until 1943, when Pope Pius XII revealed the first two parts through the agency of Cardinal Schuster. The final, secret part of the prophecy was opened by Pope John XXIII and several cardinals in 1960, according to the Madonna’s directions, but it was not revealed to the public. The first section is a vision of Hell. The second part predicts World War II. The following segment was published with Papal approval:
“If you do what I tell you, many souls will be saved and we shall have peace. The war is coming to an end; but it does not cease to offend the Lord, and another, more terrible one will break out. When you see a night lit up by an unknown light, you will know that it the great sign that God gives you of the next punishment of the sins of the world with war, famine, and persecution against the Church and against the Holy Father.
“In order to prevent this, I have some to intercede for the consecration of Russia to my Immaculate Heart and the communion of the first Sabbaths.
“If you carry out my demands, Russia will be converted and there will be peace. Otherwise the errors will be spread around the world, provoking war and persecution against the Church; many good people will become martyrs, the Holy Father will suffer much; many nations will be suppressed…
“But in the end my Immaculate Heart will triumph, the Holy Father will consecrate Russia for me, which will be converted and the world will be granted a period of peace…”
The “great sign”, “a night lit up by an unknown light,” occurred on January 25, 1938. It has been explained as an unusual aurora borealis. World War II began soon afterward.
The secret section of the prophecy of Our Lady of the Rosary was leaked by Pope John XXIII to certain Roman Catholic officials and world leaders of the USA, USSR, and Britain. On October 15, 1963, the German journal News Europe published the alleged text of the secret portion of the Fatima Prophecy. The text cannot be verified, but it is widely accepted as being genuine:
“Have no fear, little one. I am the Mother of God who speaks to you and asks you to publish the message I am going to give you to the whole world. You will find strong resistance while you do so. Listen well and pay attention to what I tell you.
“Men must be set on the right road once more. With suppliant humility, men must seek forgiveness for sins committed already and for sins which will be committed. You wish me to give you a sign, so that everyone will accept My Words, which I am saying through you, to the human race. I have seen the Prodigy of the Sun and all believers, unbelievers, peasants, countrymen, wise men, journalists, laics and priests, all have seen it. And now I proclaim in my name: A great punishment shall fall on the entire human race, not today and not tomorrow, but in the second half of the 20th century! I have already revealed to the children Melanie and Maximime at La Salette, and today I repeat it to you for the human race has sinned and has trampled down the Gift which I have made. In no part of the world is life in order, Satan rules in the highest position, laying down how things should be done. He will effectually succeed in bringing his influence right up to the top of the Church; succeed in seducing the spirits of the great scientists who invent the arms. And if humanity opposes me I shall be obliged to free the arm of My Son. Now I see that God will punish man with a severity that has not been used since the Flood.
“The time of times will come and everything will come to an end if humanity is not converted, and if things remain as they are now or get worse, the great and powerful men will perish just as will the small and weak.
“For the Church, too, the time of its greatest trial will come. Cardinals will oppose cardinals and bishops against bishops. Satan will march in their midst and there will be great changes at Rome. What is rotten will fall, never to rise again. The Church will be darkened and the world will shake with terror. The time will come when no king, emperor, cardinal or bishop will await Him who will, however, come, but in order to punish according to the designs of my Father.
“A great war will break out in the second half of the 20th century [not...]. Fire and smoke will fall from heaven, and waters of the oceans will become vapors, the scum will arise in a confused manner, and everything will sink down. Millions and millions of men will perish while this is going on and those who survive will envy the dead. The unexpected will follow in every part of the world, anxiety, pain and misery in every country. Have I seen it? The time is getting ever nearer and the abyss is getting wider without hope. The good will perish with the bad, the great with the small, the Heads of the Church with their faithful, and the rulers with their people. There will be death everywhere as a result of the mistakes of the unfeeling and the partisans of Satan, but when those who survive all these happenings are still alive, they will proclaim God once again and His Glory, and will serve Him as in the time when the world was not so perverted.
“Go, my little one and proclaim it. For that purpose I shall always be at your side to help you.”
The following version of the third prophecy of Fatima has been in circulation since about 1985, and published in various newspapers and magazines:
“A great plague will befall mankind in the year 2000. Nowhere in the world will there be order, and Satan will rule the highest places, determining the way of things. Satan will even succeed in asserting himself at the top of the Church.
“He will succeed in seducing the spirits of the great scientists who invent arms, with which it will be possible to destroy a large part of mankind in a few minutes. Satan will have in his power the leaders who command the people and who will incite them to produce enormous quantities of arms.
“God will punish man more thoroughly than with the Flood. There will come the time of all times and the end of all ends. The great and the powerful will perish together with the small and weak.
“Even for the Church, it will be the time of its greatest trial. Cardinals will oppose cardinals, bishops will oppose bishops. Satan will walk in their midst and in Rome there will be great changes. The Church will be darkened and the world will be shaking with terror.
“A huge war will erupt: fire and smoke will fall from the sky. The waters of the ocean will become mist, and the foam will rise to tremendous heights and everyone will drown.
“Millions and millions of men will die from hour to hour. Whoever remains alive will envy the dead. Everywhere one turns one’s glance there will be anguish and misery, ruins in every country.
“The time draws nearer, the abyss widens without hope. The good will perish with the bad, the great with the small, the princes of the church with the faithful, the rulers with their people.
“There will be death everywhere because of the errors committed by the crazed and the followers of Satan, who will then and only then rule the world.
“At the last, those who survive will at every chance newly proclaim God and His glory and they will serve Him as when the world was not so perverted.”
On her death-bed (February 1920), Jacinta told Mother Godinho:
“There is a secret of Heaven and one of earth, and the latter is terrifying. It will seem as though it were already the end of the world. And in this cataclysm everything will be separated from the sky, which will turn white as snow.”
In 1981 while visiting in Fulda, Germany, Pope John Paul II was asked about the secret message of Fatima. He answered:
“Due to the seriousness of the contents of the Fatima secret, my predecessors in the Throne of Peter have preferred to postpone the publication. Furthermore, it may be enough to the christian people to know that, if there is a message saying that the oceans will flood whole parts of the globe, and millions of people will die, from a minute to another, it is not really the case to will the publication of this secret message.”
In an interview with Sr. Lucia with Cardinal Ricardo Vidal in 1993, Sr. Lucia commented on the secret prophecy:
“The triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary also refers to (her victory over) the errors that were being spread by Russia… Our Lady’s Immaculate Heart triumphed over the errors that were being spread by Communist Russia… The Consecration of 1984 prevented an atomic war that would have occurred in 1985… The `era of peace’ does not refer to a civil peace but rather to a peace that we are now living with the end of the spread of the errors of Communist Russia”…
Fr. Joseph de Ste. Marie, who served as Fatima expert to Pope John Paul II, said:
“Let there be no hysteria concerning dates or concerning expectation of chastisements. The dates are unknown, the chastisement certain”.
Pope John Paul II was nearly assassinated on May 13, 1981 (the anniversary of Mary’s first apparitional appearance at Fatima). The gun was aimed at the Pope’s head, but Agca had to aim for his abdomen instead when the pontiff turned to a young girl who was wearing a picture of Our Lady of Fatima. While he was in the hospital, Pope John Paul reviewed the Church’s documentation of Fatima, and he read the secret Third Secret of Fatima. In 1984 the Pope consecrated Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Communism collapsed soon afterward.
The Vatican released its official document, “The Message of Fatima”, in June 2000. It includes the first and second parts of the “secret” of Fatima as written by Sr. Lucia on August 31, 1941, and a photostatic copy of the original manuscript of the third part of the secret, and comments by Sr. Lucia from conversation with Archbishops Bertone and Ferreira in April 2000 in the Carmel Monastery of St. Teresa of Coimbra in Portugal. Bertone noted:
“As is well known, Pope John Paul II immediately thought of consecrating the world to the Immaculate Heart of Mary and he himself composed a prayer for what he called an ‘Act of Entrustment’ which was to be celebrated in the Basilica of St. Mary Major on June 7, 1981.”
Sodano said that the secret contained a prophetic vision similar to those found in the Bible, but the events to which the third part of the Secret of Fatima refers now seem part of the past:
“That text contains a prophetic vision similar to those found in Sacred Scripture, which do not describe with photographic clarity the details of future events, but rather synthesize and condense against a unified background events spread out over time in a succession and a duration which are not specified. As a result, the text must be interpreted in a symbolic key.
“The vision of Fatima concerns above all the war waged by atheist systems against the Church and Christians, and it describes the immense suffering endured by the witnesses to the faith in the last century of the second millennium. It is an interminable Way of the Cross led by the Popes of the twentieth century.
“According to the interpretation of the ‘little shepherds,’ which was also recently confirmed by Sister Lucia, the ‘bishop clothed in white’ who prays for all the faithful is the Pope. As he makes his way with great effort towards the Cross amid the corpses of those who were martyred (bishops, priests, men and women religious and many lay persons), he too falls to the ground, apparently dead, under a burst of gunfire.
“After the assassination attempt of May 13 1981, it appeared evident to His Holiness that it was ‘a motherly hand which guided the bullet’s path,’ enabling the ‘dying Pope’ to halt ‘at the threshold of death.’ On the occasion of a visit to Rome by the then bishop of Leiria-Fatima, the Pope decided to give him the bullet which had remained in the jeep after the assassination attempt, so that it might be kept in the Shrine. At the behest of the bishop, the bullet was later set in the crown of the statue of Our Lady of Fatima.
“The successive events of 1989 led, both in the Soviet Union and in a number of countries of Eastern Europe, to the fall of the Communist regime which promoted atheism. For this too His Holiness offers heartfelt thanks to the Most Holy Virgin. In other parts of the world, however, attacks against the Church and against Christians, together with the burden of suffering which they involve, tragically continue. Even if the events to which the third part of the Secret of Fatima refers now seem part of the past, Our Lady’s call to conversion and penance, issued at the beginning of the twentieth century, remains timely and urgent today. ‘The Lady of the message seems to read the signs of the times – the signs of our time – with special insight… The insistent invitation of Mary Most Holy to penance is nothing but the manifestation of her maternal concern for the fate of the human family, in need of conversion and forgiveness.’
“In order that the faithful may better receive the message of Our Lady of Fatima, the Pope has charged the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith with making public the third part of the secret, after the preparation of an appropriate commentary”.
The following official Vatican version is alleged to be the complete translation of the original Portuguese text of the third part of the secret of Fatima that was revealed to the three pastorinhos children on July 13, 1917 at Cova da Iria-Fatima, as written by Sr. Lucia on January 3, 1944:
“I write in obedience to you, my God, who command me to do so through his Excellency the Bishop of Leiria and through your Most Holy Mother and mine.
“After the two parts which I have already explained, at the left of Our Lady and a little above, we saw an Angel with a flaming sword in his left hand; flashing, it gave out flames that looked as though they would set the world on fire; but they died out in contact with the splendor that Our Lady radiated towards him from her right hand: pointing to the earth with his right hand, the Angel cried out in a loud voice: ‘Penance, Penance, Penance!’ And we saw in an immense light that is God: ’something similar to how people appear in a mirror when they pass in front of it’ a Bishop dressed in White ‘we had the impression that it was the Holy Father’. Other Bishops, Priests, men and women Religious going up a steep mountain, at the top of which there was a big Cross of rough-hewn trunks as of a cork-tree with the bark; before reaching there the Holy Father passed through a big city half in ruins and half trembling with halting step, afflicted with pain and sorrow, he prayed for the souls of the corpses he met on his way; having reached the top of the mountain, on his knees at the foot of the big Cross he was killed by a group of soldiers who fired bullets and arrows at him, and in the same way there died one after another the other Bishops, Priests, men and women Religious, and various lay people of different ranks and positions. Beneath the two arms of the Cross there were two Angels each with a crystal aspersorium in his hand, in which they gathered up the blood of the Martyrs and with it sprinkled the souls that were making their way to God.”
Sr. Lucia & Pope John Paul II

The Mediatrix of All Grace ~
The Blessed Mother appeared 19 times in 1948 to Teresita Catillo, a novice in the Carmelite order in Lipa City, Philippines. She stood in radiant beauty on a cloud with a golden Rosary clasped in her hands. Her message emphasized the need for humble prayer and penance. She identified herself thus:
“I am the Mediatrix of All Grace”.
The Mediatrix told several secrets to Teresita, who said that there was one for herself, one for the convent, one for China, and one for all humanity. Our Lady requested that a statue of her be erected at the site of her visitation. A blue bird reportedly appeared repeatedly at the vine where Our Lady manifested, and there were accounts of a spinning sun (per Fatima), the fragrance of roses, and showers of rose petals that bore miraculous images of Jesus Christ, Virgin Mary, and scenes such as the Crucifixion! The petals are said to have remarkable powers of healing.
Teresita experienced many other mystical visions that included angels, many saints, and the Sacred Heart. She was seen to enter an unconscious trance in which she would enact the Crucifixion. The apparitions caused much disturbance in the community, and the convent was persecuted. All records of the apparitions, including Teresita’s diary, were destroyed. The statue of Our Lady was hidden by the nuns, however, thus saving it from destruction. The convent was sealed and the nuns were forbidden to speak to any outsiders. Teresita left the convent in the 1950s under the pressure of negative media and fraudulent “Holy Rose Petal” vendors who were exploiting the situation. The apparitions ceased.
Then in February 1990, a new appearance occurred in Lipa City’s Granja District. The glowing form of a woman in prayer appeared on one of the leaves of a coconut tree. It was visible only in the evening. On her deathbed on May 21,1990, Sister Aphonse begged that the statue of the Mediatrix be restored to the convent’s chapel ; her wish was granted the next day, and the statue was displayed again for the first time in 40 years.
On January 24, 1991, rose petals once again fell from the sky at the Carmelite convent, and a few days later several children who were playing in the convent garden saw the statue become animated.

Our Lady of All Nations ~
On March 25, 1945, the Virgin Mary appeared as Our Lady of All Nations and delivered her message to Ida Peerdeman, a single woman who was 40 years old at that time, living in Amsterdam. Ida continued to receive messages from her (56 in all) until 1950. Much emphasis was placed on the Eucharist, which can save the world. Following are excerpts from some of the messages:
“I see on my left somebody standing over me in a long white garment, full of womanly grace. I understand her to be the Blessed Virgin. She lifts up three, then four, and finally five fingers while saying to me, “The 3 stands for March, the 4 for April, and the 5 for May 5th.” Then she shows me her Rosary and says, “This has saved you. Persevere to the end [in saying it].” After a brief silence she adds, “The prayer is to be made known everywhere.” Then in front of me I see nothing but soldiers, many of them Allies, and the Blessed Virgin is pointing to them. She takes the crucifix of her Rosary in her hand and points at it and then again to the soldiers. I am given to understand that the Cross must become the support of the lives of those soldiers, for the voice continues: “They will soon go home now — these here”, and she points to the troops.
“I ask, “Are you Mary?”
“She smiles and answers, “They will call me ‘The Lady Mother’.” The figure walks past me and then I look at the palm of my hand. A cross is being laid down before me and I have to take it up. I do so very slowly; it is heavy. All at once everything is gone.” (First Apparition, March 25, 1945)
“The Lady looks at me and moves a warning finger from side to side, saying, “Listen, mankind. You will preserve peace if you believe in Him. Make this known,” she adds. This is repeated three times. While speaking, she puts a crucifix in my hand and I have to hold it up in all directions for everyone to see. The Lady points to the crucifix.” (April 21, 1945)
“I hear the voice again and suddenly I see a sacrifice being offered as in ancient times. The smoke, however, hangs over the altar. I hear the voice say, “Yahweh warns His people.” Then I hear, “Be faithful. They have scattered my lambs.” Then the Lady plants a crucifix upon the sacrificial altar and I see, as it were, the whole world gathered around it. The people, however, are standing there with downcast looks and turned away from the cross. “Come, my faithful ones!” the voice now calls and I see a chalice being offered to the crowd. “But for a number of them in vain”, I hear the voice say. I feel an impulse to look up and all at once I see the Lady standing before me. She smiles, extends her arms and calls invitingly, “Come.” A large number of men of all sorts is now standing before me: “gentlemen”, “rough men” and men dressed in black (priests and religious). Among then all there is a mixture of good and not so good. The Lady urges them to follow her, promising to guide them. Now I see a long and hard road before me, at the end of which there is a great light. “This way”, says the Lady, and with an impressive gesture she indicates to the men that they have to walk along this road. The going is very difficult. On both sides men are falling away. The Lady watches with motherly solicitude and keeps smiling at them compassionately. Then I see written before me, “Be renewed in Jesus Christ.” After this the Lady looks sad and says, “England will find her way back to me.” She pauses and then adds very slowly and quietly, “So will America.” Then the Lady disappears and I see a peculiar cloud hanging over the world.” (July 29, 1945)

Pope Pius XII ~
Pope Pius XII once witnessed the solar phenomenon of Fatima while he was walking in the gardens of the Vatican. Two days later he formally declared Assumption to be as Catholic Dogma: Mary was assumed body and soul into Heaven. He described his solar experience in a letter to one of his cardinals:
“Having lifted the papers I had in my hand, I was struck by a phenomenon I had never seen before. The sun, which was fairly high, looked like a pale yellow opaque globe completely surrounded by a luminous halo, which nevertheless did not prevent me at all from staring attentively at the sun without the slightest discomfort. A very light cloud was before it. The opaque globe began moving outward, slowly turning over upon itself, and going from left to right and vice-versa. But within the globe very strong movements could be seen in all clarity and without interruption.”

Pope John XXIII ~
According to accounts available only on the Internet, Pope John XXIII, who reigned from 1958 to 1963, apparently kept a secret diary that contains his handwritten accounts of visions of Christ and the Madonna. The diary was found by a cleaning woman in a storage room at the Vatican. Father DeAngelo released some of the entries made between February 1959-April 1963. The first appearance of Christ took place February 12th, 1959:
“Dear God, I have been blessed like no man before me. The Savior has granted me a special audience here in my chambers. He tells me that I’ve been chosen to hear the truth no matter how awful it may be. It scares me a bit to be so entrusted, but I am honored all the same. Jesus tells me the Virgin Mary will come soon to deliver the first news of what will be.”
“She is more beautiful than I had ever imagined. The Madonna is a joy to behold. I just wish her message was a more positive one. She says in four years time the world will lose a great leader, and a powerful nation will find itself involved in a conflict it cannot win. The fighting will take its toll on the battlefield and from within as the population despises the loss of its young men. The Holy Mother sheds tears as she describes the heart-breaking vision.” (April 7, 1959)
“The Madonna’s second visit is much like the first. She speaks sadly of unrest in her homeland, a change in the balance of power, and much blood being spilled in the sand. She says several madmen will send their people into battles in the name of God, but the Creator will have had nothing to do with these senseless struggles among brothers.” (August 17, 1959)
“Christ comes to me again. I yearn to tell my fellow Christians of these miraculous appearances, but I am advised to keep quiet until the time is right. I cannot help but think I could perhaps head off some of the trouble that looms for us all. But Christ tells me that misery must take place for the master plan to succeed.” (January 30, 1960)
“The Virgin Mary says the world will get a false sense of hope 30 years from now when the chains of repression are shattered throughout Eastern Europe. The joy however, will be short-lived as the freed people fight among themselves on how to run their countries. Thousands of poor, innocent children will perish due to the foolishness of their fathers.” (June 13, 1960)
“Just when I thought my heavenly visits were over, the Madonna comes to me once again. She seems tired of the heartache she must share with me. My heart aches to see Her hurting so. The news again is foreboding. The early 1990’s will be a period of deadly natural disasters. She says paradise will be struck by powerful winds and waves while killer floods and earthquakes will shatter dwellings. By the middle of the decade, regional skirmishes will develop into full-fledged conflicts. As the casualties mount, worldwide famine will strike. The devastation will be like none seen before, especially throughout Africa, where millions will perish.” (July 19, 1962)
“She has returned with yet more bad news. It is becoming truly difficult for this humble servant to hear of such overwhelming hardships. The Madonna tells me terrifying diseases will be unleashed on the already weakened population of the world by late 1984. Wars will begin to wind down because the fighting nations will be greatly weakened from within. This is the beginning of the change. Hallelujah.” (September 23, 1961)
“From the heavens will appear the saviors. They will arrive on June 5, 1995 [not...] and begin the task of assisting in the cleanup and repair of the environment and the crippled countries. Many will fear these odd- looking beings but they come in peace and will, with God’s guidance, transform earth from a charred spinning rock to a lush oasis in space. The survivors will flourish in a world without war, disease, or hatred. My heart is finally at peace with this knowledge that there is hope for humanity.”(May 19, 1962)
“The Madonna tells me this will be her final visit. It is a joyous one for she shares tremendous news. As the year 1998 arrives [not...], our heavenly friends will have shared much of their advanced knowledge. Mankind will at last wipe out most of its diseases, and our life span will increase to the length of those listed in the bible. The visitors will also share the remarkable power of resurrection and throngs of wrongly dead will rise again. Finally a wondrous miracle will take place in the sky above New York City, December 25, 2000 [not...] when millions will witness the sensational appearance of a messiah who will announce the beginning of a second paradise here on earth.” (July 2, 1962)

Our Lady of Garabandal ~
In June of 1961, The Virgin Mary appeared to four girls (Conchita Gonzales, Mari Loli Mazon, Jacinta Gonzalez, and Mari Cruz Gonzalez, ages 11-12) near the village of San Sebastian de Garabandal in the Cantabrian Mountains of northwest Spain. The girls were praying together when they heard a thunderous sound and saw a beautiful angel. It said nothing, then disappeared. The girls ran to the village church and told everyone about the occurence. The angel appeared to them several more times before it announced that the Blessed Virgin would appear to them. Later that day she appeared in the company of two angels with an all-seeing eye above her. She visited the girls more than 2,000 times in the next four years. The apparition repeatedly urged repentance, and said that a miraculous sign will appear some day. Conchita wrote this about it in her Diary:
“I am the only one to whom the Blessed Virgin spoke of the miracle. She forbade me to say what it will consist of. I can’t announce the date either until eight days before it is due to occur. What I can reveal is that it will coincide with an event in the Church and with the feast of a saint, martyr of the Eucharist; that it will take place at 8:30 on a Thursday evening; that it will be visible to all those who are in the village and surrounding the mountains; that the sick who are present will be cured, and the incredulous will believe. It will be the greatest miracle that Jesus will have performed for the world. There won’t be the slightest doubt that it comes from God and that it is for the good of mankind. A sign of the Miracle, which it will be possible to film or televise, will remain forever…
“The Warning, like the Chastisement, is a fearful thing for the good as well as the wicked. It will draw the good closer to God and warn the wicked that the end of times are coming.. .The Warning is something that is seen in the air, everywhere in the world and is immediately transmitted into the interior of our souls. It will last a very little time, but it will seem a very long time because of its effect within us. It would be like fire. It will not burn our flesh, but we will feel it bodily and interiorly… [It will be] like two stars that crash and make a lot of noise, and a lot of light but they don’t fall. It’s not going to hurt us but we’re going to see it and, in that moment, we’re going to see our consciences.”
The event will occur between March 8-May16 on a Thursday at 8:30 p.m. (Garabandal time), within a year of the Warning foretold by Our Lady of Fatima. Conchita will be warned of the event 8 days beforehand. It will occur on the feast day of a Eucharist martyr, and it will coincide with a “great event” in the Church.
The following message from Mary is excerpted from Conchita’s notes:
“The Virgin told me about this on January 1st, 1965, up in the pine grove. I cannot say what it will consist of, because she did not command me to do so. And, as for when it is going to be, she did not tell me, so I do not know. What I do know is that it will be visible to everybody; it will be a direct work of God and will take place before the miracle. I do not know whether people will die because of it. They could only die from the shock of seeing it…
“The Virgin told only me about the miracle. She forbade me to say what it will consist of. I cannot reveal the date either until eight days beforehand. What I am allowed to say is that it will coincide with an event in the Church, and with the feast of a Saint who is a martyr of the Holy Eucharist; it will be at half-past eight on a Thursday evening; it will be visible to everybody in the village and on the surrounding mountainsides; the sick who are present will be cured and the incredulous will believe. It will be the greatest miracle that Jesus has worked for the world. There will not remain the slightest doubt that it comes from God and is for the good of mankind. In the pine grove, a sign of the miracle will be left forever. It will be possible to film and televise it…
“The punishment is conditioned to whether or not mankind heeds the Blessed Virgin’s messages and the miracle. If it does take place, then I know what it will consist of, because the Virgin told me, but I am not allowed to say. What is more, I have seen the punishment. What I can assure you is that, if it comes, it is far worse than if we were enveloped in fire; worse than if we had fire above us, and fire beneath. I do not know how long a time will elapse after the miracle, before God sends it.”
In 1962, the Blessed Virgin told Conchita a prophecy of the popes; according to her, Pope John Paul II will be the last pope:
“There would be two more popes after Pope Paul VI and that one of the popes would have a very short reign. After that would come the end times but not the end of the world.”
Conchita made this announcement on September 14, 1965:
“The sign that will remain forever at the pines is something we will be able to photograph, televise, and see, but not touch. It will be evident that it is not a thing of this world but from God.”

Padre Pio ~
The stigmata of the Capuchin priest Padre Pio da Pietrelcina (1887-1968) bled about a cup of blood daily for 50 years. He also transmitted the following Marian prophecies, excerpted from a letter to the Commission of Heroldsbach, appointed by the Vatican to investigate his case:
“My son, My son, I have been longing for this hour in which I again shall reveal to you the great love of My heart… Pray and make reparation to Me. Admonish others to do the same because the time is near at hand in which I shall visit My unfaithful people because they have not heeded the time of My grace. Persevere in prayer, so that your adversary shall have no dominion over you. Tell My people to be prepared at all times, for My judgment shall come upon them suddenly and when least expected — and not one shall escape My hands, I shall find them all! I shall protect the just. Watch the sun and moon and the stars of the Heavens. When they appear to be unduly disturbed and restless, know that the day is not far away. Stay united in prayer and watching until the angel of destruction has passed your doors. Pray that these days will be shortened.” (1949)
“Pray! Make reparation! Be fervent and practice mortifications. Great things are at stake! Pray! Men are running toward the abyss of Hell in great rejoicing and merry-making, as though they were going to a masquerade ball or the wedding feast of the devil himself! Assist Me in the salvation of souls. The measure of sin is filled! The day of revenge, with its terrifying happenings is near — nearer then you can imagine! And the world is seeping in false security! The Divine Judgment shall strike them like a thunderbolt! These Godless and wicked people shall be destroyed without mercy, as were the inhabitants of Sodom and Gomorra of old. Yes, I tell you their wickedness was not as great as that of our human race today! (Jan.23, 1950)
“Keep your windows well-covered. Do not look out. Light a blessed candle, which will suffice for many days. Pray the Rosary. Read spiritual books. Make acts of Spiritual Communion, also acts of love, which are so pleasing to Us. Pray with outstretched arms, or prostrate on the ground, in order that many souls may be saved. Do not go outside the house. Provide yourself with sufficient food. The powers of nature shall be moved and a rain of fire shall make people tremble with fear. Have courage! I am in the midst of you.” (Jan. 28, 1950)
“Take care of the animals during these days. I am the creator and preserver of animals as well as man. I shall give you a few signs beforehand, at which time you should place more food before them. I will preserve the property of the elect, including the animals, for they shall be in need of sustenance afterwards as well. Let no one go across the yard, even to feed the animals-he who steps outside will perish! Cover your windows carefully. My elect shall not see My wrath. Have confidence in Me, and I will be your protection.
“Hurricanes of fire will pour forth from the clouds and spread over the entire earth! Storms, bad weather, thunderbolts and earthquakes will cover the earth for two days. An uninterrupted rain of fire will take place! It will begin on during a very cold night. All this is to prove that God is the Master of Creation. Those who hope in Me, and believe in My words, have nothing to fear because I will not forsake them, nor those who spread My message. No harm will come to those who are in the state of grace and who seek My Mother’s protection.
“That you may be prepared for these visitations, I will give you the following signs and instructions: The night will be very cold. The wind will roar. After a time thunderbolt will be heard. Lock all the doors and windows. Talk to no one outside the house. Kneel down before a crucifix, be sorry for your sins, and beg My Mothers protection. Do not look during the earthquake, because the anger of God is holy! Jesus does not want us to behold the anger of God, because God’s anger must be contemplated with fear and trembling.
“Those who disregard this advice will be killed instantly. The wind will carry with it poisonous gases which will be diffused over the entire earth. Those who suffer and die innocently will be martyrs and they will be with Me in My Kingdom. Satan will triumph! But in three nights, the earthquake and fire will cease. On the following day the sun will shine again, angels will descend from Heaven and will spread the spirit of peace over the earth. A feeling of immeasurable gratitude will take possession of those who survive this most terrible ordeal, the impending punishment, with which God will visit the earth since creation.
“I have chosen souls in other countries too, such as Belgium, Switzerland, Spain, who have received these revelations so that other countries also may be prepared. Pray Rosary, but pray it well, so that your prayers may reach Heaven. Soon a more terrible catastrophe shall come upon the entire world, such as never before has been witnessed, a terrible chastisement never before experienced!
“How unconcerned men are regarding these things! Which shall so soon come upon them, contrary to all expectations. How indifferent they are in preparing themselves for these unheard of events, through which they will have to pass so shortly! The weight of divine balance has reached the earth! The wrath of My Father shall be poured out over the entire world! I am again warning the world through your instrumentality, as I have so often done heretofore.
“This catastrophe shall come upon the earth like a flash of lightning! At which moment the light of the morning sun shall be replaced by black darkness! No one shall leave the house or look out a window from that moment on. I Myself shall come amidst thunder and lightning. The wicked shall behold My Divine Heart. There shall be great confusion because of this utter darkness in which the entire earth shall be enveloped, and many, many shall die from fear and despair.
“On that day, as soon as complete darkness has set in, no one shall leave the house or look from out of the window. The darkness shall last a day and a night followed by another day and night, and another day-but on the night following, the stars will shine again, and on the next morning the sun shall rise again, and it will be SPRINGTIME!! In the days of darkness, My elect shall not sleep, as did the disciples in the garden. They shall pray incessantly, and they shall not be disappointed in Me. I shall gather My elect. Hell will believe itself to be in possession of the entire earth, but I shall reclaim it.
“Again and again I have warned men, and often have I given them special opportunities to return to the right path; but now, wickedness has reached its climax, and the punishment can no longer be delayed. Tell all that the time has come in which these things shall be fulfilled.” (Feb. 7, 1950)

Sister Agnes Sasagawa ~
Another Marian apparition that has been approved by the Catholic Church occurred in 1969 in Japan. An angelic being appeared to Sister Agnes Sasagawa, who was a postulant in the Order of the handmaids of the Eucharist. The angel gave her a prayer to add to her Rosary:
“O My Jesus, forgive us our sins; save us from the fire of hell; lead all souls to heaven, especially those most in need.”
This prayer was one of those given by the Blessed Virgin to the children at Fatima! On June 12, 1973, Sister Agnes, who was deaf, heard a voice urging her to go pray in the chapel:
“Do not fear. Pray with fervor not only because of your sins, but in reparation for those of all men. The world today wounds the most Sacred Heart of Our Lord by its ingratitudes and injuries. The wounds of Mary are much deeper and more sorrowful than yours. Let us go pray together in the chapel.”
When she went there, she saw brilliant beams of light emanating from the tabernacle. The light appeared during the next two days. On June 28, stigmata (the wounds of Christ) began to appear on her hands in the form of a bleeding cross. On July 6, while praying in the chapel, Sr. Agnes heard a the statue of the Virgin Mary speak to her, and other sisters saw blood dripping from the statue’s right hand later the same day. The phenomena repeated itself four times, ending on September 29. On that day, sisters witnessed “sweat” exuding from the statue’s forehead and neck. Then the statue began to “weep”, and continued to do so until 1982. A Japanese TV crew was able to film the weeping phenomenon.
Sister Agnes continued to receive messages from the angel (speaking for Mary) for 9 more years. The following prophecies are excerpted from the transmissions:
“If men do not repent and better themselves, the Father will inflict a terrible punishment on all humanity. It will be a punishment greater than the deluge, such as one will never have seen before. Fire will fall from the sky and wipe out a great part of humanity, the good as well as the bad, sparing neither priests nor faithful. The survivors will find themselves so desolate that they will envy the dead.”
“Is the infirmity of your ears painful? Your deafness will be healed. Does the wound of your hand cause you to suffer? Pray in reparation for the sins of men. [The apparition gave the text of a prayer.] Pray very much for the pope, bishops, and priests. Tell your superior all that passed today…” (July 6, 1973)
“If you love the Lord, listen to what I have to say to you. It is very important; you will convey it to your superior. Many men in this world afflict the Lord. I desire souls to console him to soften the anger of the heavenly father. I wish, with my son, for souls who will repair by their suffering and their poverty for the sinners and ingrates.
“In order that the world might know his anger, the heavenly father is preparing to inflict a great chastisement on all mankind. I have intervened so many times to appease the wrath of the father. I have prevented the coming of calamities by offering him the sufferings of the son on the cross, his precious blood, and beloved souls who console him forming a cohort of victim souls. Prayer, penance and courageous sacrifices can soften the father’s anger… Even in a secular institute prayer is necessary. Already souls who wish to pray are on the way to being gathered together. Without attaching too much attention to the form, be faithful and fervent in prayer to console the master.” (August 3, 1973)
“My dear daughter, listen well to what I have to say to you. You will inform your superior. As I told you, if men do not repent and better themselves, the father will inflict a terrible punishment on all humanity. It will be a punishment greater than the deluge, such as one will never seen before. Fire will fall from the sky and will wipe out a great part of humanity, the good as well as the bad, sparing neither priests nor faithful. The survivors will find themselves so desolate that they will envy the dead… The work of the devil will infiltrate even into the Church in such a way that one will see cardinals opposing cardinals, bishops against bishops. The priests who venerate me will be scorned and opposed by their confreres… churches and altars sacked; the Church will be full of those who accept compromises, and the demon will press many priests and consecrated souls to leave the service of the Lord. The demon will be especially implacable against souls consecrated to God. The thought of the loss of so many souls is the cause of my sadness. If sins increase in number and gravity, there will be no longer pardon for them. Today is the last time that I will speak to you in living voice. From now on you will obey the one sent to you and your superior.” (Oct. 13, 1973)

The Madonna at Zeitun ~
The phenomenal apparition of Mary at Zeitun, Egypt began on April 2,1968 and lasted for three years. During that period, she was witnessed by more than 4 million people, photographed and televised. Egyptian President Abdul Nasser also saw her. Egyptian police searched a 15-mile radius around the site but could not find any form of equipment that could project images in such a manner. The apparitions lasted up to 9 hours, and were accompanied by doves of white light. Fragrant purple smoke rose from the church at the same time. An orthodox commission was formed to investigate the phenomenon, and several members observed the events. The apparitions were silent, but they spoke volumes to the faithful who witnessed them. They received little publicity outside of Egypt.
Moslems who saw her chanted the Kuranic passage, “Mary, God has chosen thee, and purified thee; he has chosen thee above all women.”
Another Marian apparition began to occur in Egypt in 1983, when a beautiful woman clothed in light appeared walking in the air above the Church of St. Damian in Shoubra, a suburb of Cairo. Thousands of people witnessed her manifestation, and in 1987 a commission of the Coptic Church concluded that this was a “blessing on the people of Egypt — May God save our country!”

Our Mother of the Word ~
The Blessed Virgin (and occasionally Christ) appeared to several visionaries (Alphonsie, Emmanuel, Anathalie, Marie-Claire, Stephanie, Agnes, and Vestine) at Kihebo in Rwanda (Africa) in November 1981. Three of them were students at a college administered by nuns in that area, and the others lived in the bush. Emmanuel was given the following message from the Holy Mother:
‘There isn’t much time left in preparing for the Last Judgment. We must change our lives; renounce sin. Pray and prepare for our own death and for the end of the world. We must prepare while there is still time. Those who do well will go to Heaven. If they do evil, they will condemn themselves with no hope of appeal. Do not lose time in doing good and praying. There is not much time and Jesus will come.”
During one vision of the future, which lasted 8 hours, they saw horrible images of tragedy: massacre, decapitated bodies, and many bodies thrown into the rivers. They saw that if Rwanda did not return to God, there would be “a tree in flames, a river of blood, and many abandoned, decapitated corpses”. The Rwandan holocaust that came a few years later fulfilled their words.
The apparitions ended for the visionaries by 1983, with the exception of Alphonsine, who continued to receive a visitation from “Our Mother of the Word” [ÆTZI] every November 28 until 1989. She emphasized the importance of prayer, especially the Rosary, and of love for ourselves and others. Christ once said to Emmanuel (who was killed in the Rwandan holocaust):
“Too many people treat their neighbors dishonestly. The world is full of hatred. You will know my Second Coming is at hand when you see the outbreak of religious wars. Then, know that I am on the way.”
The Blessed Mother told the seers why she had returned as well:
“I have come to prepare the way for my Son for your good and you do not want to understand. The time remaining is short and you are absent-minded. You are distracted by the goods of this world which are passing. I have seen many of my children getting lost and I have come to show them the true way”.
The apparitions in Kibeho have been approved for public devotion, and the Church is continuing to review the events there.

Veronica Lueken ~
The Virgin Mary and Jesus Christ appeared to Veronica Lueken over a period of 25 years during her Rosary vigils in Flushing Meadows Park, NY.
The Blessed Virgin warned that unless we return to traditional morals, World War III and a great comet will kill billions of people “within this century, if not sooner.”
Since the event did not come to pass in the 20th century, then perhaps we have rehabilitated sufficiently for Divine purposes, and catastrophe has been averted, but more likely it has merely been postponed. Our Lady has been appointed by God to warn humanity that there will be a cleansing by fire unless we repent and correct our ways. The chastisement will be preceded by a worldwide Warning, and that will be followed by a great Miracle. If mankind still refuses to change, then God will punish us.
On April 21, 1973, Veronica Leuken received a Warning while in she was in ecstasy:
“It’s as though everything has exploded in the sky. There is a great flash! Then it’s very hot – very warm – and it feels like you’re burning. There is a huge explosion, and the sky becomes very white. . .and then there are colors – blues, purples. . . It ’s like a huge explosion. Now this voice — the voice …! And the voice, Our Lady says, is a voice within you: “Your warning before the Chastisement! Flash, fire, and the voice within you! The final Warning before Chastisement.
“Man will feel that the very powers of the elements have shaken the very foundations of his being. So great will be the impact of this Warning from the Father that none will doubt that it had come from the Father… It will be a major awakening to many. The rumbling and the shaking of the elements will set fright into many hearts… Hearts will shudder with fear and men will drop from fright… Many signs of an angry God will appear before you. . .”
On June 12, 1976, the Blessed Virgin Mary told Mrs. Lueken that the Warning was close at hand:
“My child, you must pray more: do much penance. For the Warning is coming upon mankind. There will be a tremendous explosion and the sky shall roll back like a scroll, this force shall go within the very core of the human. He will understand his offenses to his God. However, this Warning will be of short duration. and many shall continue upon their road to perdition, so hard are the hearts hardened now, My child.”
“The Eternal Father will send a Warning to mankind, a great Warning of such magnitude that very few will doubt that it comes from the Eternal Father and is not man-made.” (July 25, 1978)
“There is to come upon you a great Warning, of such magnitude that every man, woman and child will feel the burning fires within.” (September 28, 1974)
“All who remain in the light of grace will have no fear. They will pass through this great Warning without suffering.” (April 5, 1975)
“As the day follows night, so shall this Warning follow soon. Beware of the sunrise! Do not look up to the sky, the flash!!! Beware of the sunrise! Do not look up to the sky, the flash!!! Close your windows! Draw your shades! Remain inside: do not venture outside your door, or you will not return! Pray! Prostrate yourselves upon your floor! Pray with arms outstretched and beg for mercy of your God, the Father. Do not seek or receive your animals into your homes, for the animals of those who have remained of well spirit will be taken care of.”
“O My children, how many will try to go back and restore their homes when it is too late. Keep blessed candles, water, blankets, food within your homes. The candles of those who have remained in the state of grace shall not be extinguished, but the candles in the homes of those who have given themselves to Satan shall not burn! Amen. I say to you, as night follows day a great darkness shall descend upon mankind.”
“When the Warning is sent upon man, there will be no doubt in the minds of man that it descends from the heavens. However, those who have already committed themselves to Satan will see and yet not believe.” (September 28, 1973)
“The Father chooses to send upon you first a great manifestation, a Warning. And should you not listen to the voice within you, He will have no recourse but to go forth with the plan for full cleansing. My Son has given you His words; you have received one of the final warning given to man.” (May 10, 1973)
On June 8, 1974, Jacinta also channeled a message through Veronica:
“It is true that I gave a final message [to Mother Godinho], but I, too, could not give the date — only to warn the world that a great Warning would come to mankind. It would be a great cataclysm Warning, and then there would be a great Miracle. And after that, if nothing changes and man continues to offend the Father, He would have to start this terrible, terrible trial. For there will be a great War and there will be a great, terrible chastisement.”
Bishop John Mugavero of Brooklyn, however, issued a “Declaration Concerning the Bayside Movement” (November 4, 1986), in which he declared:
“No credibility can be given to the so-called “apparitions” reported by Veronica Lueken and her followers.
“The “messages” and other related propaganda contain statements which, among other things, are contrary to the teachings of the Catholic Church, undermine the legitimate authority of bishops and councils and instill
doubts in the minds of the faithful, for example, by claiming that, for years, an “imposter (sic) Pope” governed the Catholic Church in place of Paul VI.
“Those who persistently maintain that “no ecclesiastical permission is required for the publication or dissemination” of information concerning “revelations, visions or miracles,” are erroneously interpreting the directives of the Holy See when they attempt to justify the publication of the propaganda literature on the “Bayside Messages.”
This warning was issued in 1988, but since then it has become just another failed prophecy:
“I, as your Mother, I am terribly depressed in knowing what is fast coming upon mankind. I see beyond me a ball, a large ball. Were it placed next to the sun, this ball would be like two suns in the sky. But it is a ball of destruction, and I tell you, My children, We have been attempting to hold this back with all manners of graces, and fasting, and suffering. But the Eternal Father says, ‘Look up, My child’; He said to look far up into the sky. Your human eyes cannot perceive yet what is up there, but there is a ball, to mankind known as ‘unknown origin.’ But it is not unknown: it is the Ball of Redemption.
“Do not be affrighted, My child, you must see this, for it is important. Within this century this Ball will be sent upon mankind.
“My child, I took you from your bed of pain and illness to bring you here to tell the world to prepare now. It is almost too late. We have asked also, urgently, and have had great cooperation from the earth’s masses of people– to Rome to tell them, Look up, and see what lies beyond your windows: a Ball that is fast hurtling towards earth! It will be here within this century, if not sooner. For even the scientists have failed to recognize the speed of this Ball.”
Veronica: “I see a terrible globe, it looks like a globe of fire. It’s frightening! It’s now bouncing around, like it has no control; as though it’s not in a general place to be. It has bounced off another, what looks like a comet, and has actually destroyed the comet to the left”.
VM: “This one will not be destroyed; for mankind has listened, but has not followed a schedule, as We would say, placed upon mankind by Heaven., a schedule for prayers and repentance. This has not been done to the satisfaction of the Eternal Father. All must get down on their knees and beg for repentance of mankind. It is mankind’s balance.”
Veronica: “And I see now, over on the right side, there’s Michael; and he is holding a balance in his hands. He has on one of the balances, there seems to be gold and silver; but on the other, it seems to be heaped with rocks! And Our Lady is now touching Her lips again, like this, with Her crucifix and then Her finger, like this:
VM: “My child, I also have to tell you: look up and see, and repeat what you see.”
Veronica: “I see a large crowd of people in Rome. No, it’s not Rome, because I can’t see the…I know the city. Looks like it may be in Russia. I am not familiar, Blessed Mother, with Russia or the buildings”.
VM: “You will understand, My child, because at this very moment there is a dissident under the number five of communism that is planning to kill the Pope. His words, We hear are, ‘This time we will not fail to destroy him!’
“Please, My children, pray for your Holy Father, the Pope. You must not lose him, for the one who comes after him will destroy if he can–he will attempt to destroy, I should say, My child and My children; he will attempt to destroy Pope John Paul II.
“I know, My child, how this has both affrightened you, and also made you feel weak from terror. I did not want to bring you here at first, My child, as I know how weak and ill you have become; but you see, you must help Our children upon earth.
“Also, they are so lacking in interest in many places. Children are disappearing by the thousands, and where do they go? They go straight to the pits of hell, as they become pawns in the hands of the satanists.
“Yes, My child and My children–and My child, Veronica– you must be very careful. I have warned you not to go out alone, not even to your roadway; for you heard the music, My child. They were gathered beneath your windowsill.
“I know, My child, I kept this from you at our last meeting, but it is urgent that you must know this. They are also going to try to murder you on your stoop. Do not be afraid, My child; your destiny is with Jesus and the Father.
“Now, My child, I want you to look up, and look far into the sky. What do you see?”
Veronica: “I see a group of people, talking outside a building. The building looks like it may be in Russia. That’s the only place I saw spires like they have there. Now coming out of this building are two sinister-looking men. They’re looking at shotguns. And they ‘re also whispering. I can’t hear what they’re saying, but they are mentioning the Pope. They keep repeating, ‘the Pope.’ Now both of them are laughing, like they have accomplished something bad; but they are laughing because they are demons!”.
VM: “My child, when We talk of demons, I also mentioned to you that you must be very careful and warn all that Satan was trying, and accomplished his mission, to go into the workrooms of the White Berets and the Blue Berets.
“What is he going to do? He will bring discord and dissatisfaction. And what are you going to do, My child? You are going to pray more, and make a decision; for We are not allowing you to be alone. But you must gain wisdom by making a decision.
“I leave that up to you, My child, as you will follow the rules of charity, holiness, and, also, faith. The greatest is faith: faith in your fellow man, not only accepting the sorrows of earth…
“But do not search, My children, for wealth. Within two years or less, there will be a great crash of the market. The whole world’s monetary systems will be paralyzed. That, My child, is why you had to come this evening to the grounds”. [not...]

Maria Bianchini ~
The Venezuelan stigmatist Maria Esperanza Bianchini, whose wounds appear on Good Friday, has been the reciprient of many mystical experiences since 1976. She has reported many conversations with the Virgin Mary, she has levitated during Mass, and has been seen to bilocate (appear in two places at once). She and several other persons have witnessed apparitions of the Blessed Virgin in the village of Cua in the Finca Betania region of Venezuela. In 1984, Mary explained the reason for her appearances:
“I come to reconcile them, to seek them out, to give them faith, which has disappeared in the noise and din of an atomic awakening which is at the point of bursting out. My message is of faith, love and hope. More than anything, it brings reconciliation between people and nations. It is the only thing that can save this century from war and eternal death…If a change does not come and a conversion of life, one will perish under the fire, war and death…
“Forgive one another. Love one another. Serve one another. Pray for the Church. Pray for priests. Return to the Sacraments, dear little children. Confess your sins while the sun shines. Sacrifice yourselves for the conversion of sinners and for peace in the world. All of you are children of God. All are loved.”
Mary also told Maria that mankind would be facing its hour of decision in the mid-1990’s, when there would be grave danger of war involving Asia and Russia. Apparently humanity has passed that crisis for the time being. Mary also gave this warning:
“There is coming the great moment of a great day of light. The consciences of this beloved people must be violently shaken so that they may ‘put their house in order’ and offer to Jesus the just reparation for the daily infidelities that are committed on the part of sinners…”
The Grotto at Cua
Visitors to the grotto have reported visions of the Blessed Virgin, falls of rose petals out of the air, angelic choirs, and healings.
After more than 10 years of investigation by the Church, Bishop Pio Bello Ricardo stated:
“After having studied repeatedly the apparitions of the Most Holy Virgin in Betania, and having begged the Lord earnestly for spiritual discernment, I declare that in my judgement said apparitions are authentic and have a supernatural character. I therefore approve, officially, that the site where the apparitions have occurred be considered as sacred…”
Soon afterwards, a Eucharistic miracle occurred during the vigil of the Immaculate Conception on

Ancient Bible References to Date Palm Trees, Phoenix dactylifera
Palm trees in ancient desert sands grew and satisfied almost every need the ancient Jews needed. The Jews ate the palm tree dates; the tree juices were fermented into wine; the trunk of the palm tree was used as construction timber; and the palm leaves were woven into baskets, mats, brooms, beds, ropes and made into furniture.
, and the moving finger on the wall pointed to the palm tree as the perfect supplier of food, shelter and medicine. This was the promised land of “milk and honey, (palm dates.)” the land of Canaan located on the banks of the Jordan River.
Ezekiel 47-12: “All kinds of fruit trees will grow along the river banks, the leaves will never turn brown and fall, and there will always be fruit. There will be a new crop every month- without fail! For they are watered by the river flowing from the Temple. The fruit will be for food and the leaves for medicine.”
Date palm trees grow tall point toward the infinite heavens where there is a promise of Life Eternal. The symbolism of the straight trunk of the palm tree is clear; that humans should journey down the straight path that leads Christians toward righteousness. The straight soft trunk was capped with a canopy of 20 foot leaves of green that unfolded like a botanical star burst. The delicious honey-sweet dates fed the ancient Jewish nomads and the eventual settlers of Israel. The palm leaves shaded the hot, bright desert sands and the fibers provided a plethora of uses in the primitive lands.
The ancient date palm tree, it has been suggested, is the oldest fruit bearing tree on earth. Palm trees grow worldwide from sandy deserts to tropical rain forests. The palm trees has been grown in grove plantings, since the ancients understood the food value of the dates and the exotic appearance and shading on the landscape of the desert sands. Palm trees were often planted near an oasis as a source of water, shade and food.
Historically the tropical appearance of palm trees was noted in ancient documents, and on stone inscriptions uncovered by archaeological excavations and from multiple references in the Bible Scriptures. Ancient civilizations revered palm trees as symbols of fertility, peace, and victory. Palm tree images were struck and minted on ageless coins of the Greeks and Romans. The trees were an economic resource for the exporting of high quality, edible dates into areas outside the Middle East and Africa.
that was situated in the land of the Canaanites, located along the Mediterranean Coast. All these coastal lands of Phoenecia were the land of the palms where the Philistines lived, the legendary enemies of Israel, which is today named, Beirut, Lebanon, and Phoenicia was abundantly covered with palm trees. So the land of the palm trees was also the land, where in addition the to the productive crops of dates, grape vineyards grew there, and groves of fig trees, olive trees and pomegranate trees thrived. The Greeks were reported to have carved their magnificent fluted columns of marble to memorialize the shape of the trunk of a palm tree.
sohai pict!!!! sakai always stay atas pokok one ah……hahahahahaaaaaaaaaa
THANK YOU FOR LAUGHING AT JESUS TO MR.LUCIFER @TAMAN U
hehe – funny la u – taman u.
Is this to be believed? Can experts substantiate the apparition? Monsignor have told us not to blindly believe what we see. Why havn’t this phenomena reached the Vatican for proper records?
I am a catholic myself but have not visited the places mentioned. This story is exactly the same as what happened in Indonesia.However, I made various research on the pictures shown and asked opinion from many christians and those who have visited the sites including refering some in the bible. I ask question on myself… why in kampong? why in places of poor people? why not in places like in Bundu Tuhan Retreat or in Churches? And about the girl. What happen to her now? Why is she hiding? Which doctor is treating her? Can the Doctor now reveal to the public that the girl is now cured? and many many more question?I am not very sure if I could readily believe the whole episode because to me both ‘Mother Mary and Jesus Christ’ could not just simply be seen on any unholy places especially on trees. Roman Catholic have churches (a very holy place) and it is here that we could communicate with GOD,Our Mother Mary and Jesus through our prayer. I believe if we are clean, forgiving and be forgiven and repent from our sin, GOD through Jesus and Mother Mary will touch and heal us. I believed the picture of the Devine Mercy of JESUS because that was the time when Jesus show His appearance physically and requested it to be drawn and it was REAL and not from images.
danny, apparitions to prophets in the old testaments never appears in “holy” places or churches. i’m sure you’ve read of angels appearing in caves, then God appearing to Moses as a burning bush in the wilderness. and then Mother Mary appearing to St Bernadette in a grotto, the children of Fatima were approached my our Beloved Mother in their tiny poor village. the same with Our Lady of Medjugorje in Yugoslavia… how can you say that? why do you question God’s decision to appear to poor people? these are ppl who aren’t blinded by earthly wealth, and may be of pure heart compared to the rest of us. let God be the judge. happy are those who have not seen and yet believe.
and God bless those He chose to be messengers of our faith. if this is real, like all previous apparitions, then good will come from it.
Trust in Jesus
One need not be in church to communicate with GOD. God is everywhere. Palm trees has been mentioned in the Bible many times. So I do not think that palm trees are not holy places.
It is the poor who believe in God, the rich are just too busy minding their wealth.
As it is said that it is easier for the camel to go through the eye of a needle than for the rich men to go to heavan.
What is happening in Keningau is a reminder to all that we should stop playing with religion in politics and fight among ourselves. Irrespective of what religious beliefs , we are all the children of God…
For Muslims, Christians, Buddhists and all the other religions, have compassion and do not discriminate against any religion….
wow…amazing…but…
why keningau??!!
still rmember what happen to keningau b4?
so, Will something bad happen in Keningau again? Palis-palis…
[...] you gotta see the photos on Chronicles on the apparition of the Virgin Mary has appeared in Sabah. Also read the news on New Sabah [...]
I believe this is a natural phenomena. I’ve seen another picture taken at same place where a coconut leaf next to the one with the cross like shaped had been eaten by ‘insects’. The top part was cut off – otherwise it would had looked like another cross.
I won’t be surprised if some people start to retouch pictures and recreate new stories – I don’t mean you ben
Not too far from where I live but haven’t visited the place yet. I heard the Catholic Diocese of Keningau do not ‘endorse’ this sighting as apparitions of the Lord Jesus Christ and the Blessed Virgin Mary
it is a time to repent, save our souls
disaster or no disaster.only god know the answer..see or didn’t see it..
it is better to say thank you and pray for protection and help…
please read this…
Our Lady of Fatima ~
On May 13, 1917, in a field called Cova da Iria near the Portuguese village of Fatima, “a beautiful lady from Heaven”, shining like the sun and standing on a cloud over a beech tree, appeared to three children: Lucia Dos Santos (age 10) and her two cousins, Francisco (9) and Jacinta Marti (7). Lucia saw and heard the Madonna and spoke with her. Jacinta also saw and heard her, but did not speak, and Francisco only saw the Virgin. The radiant being spoke with the children for several minutes, and asked them to meet her again at the same place on the 13th of each month until October. Then, she promised, she would identify herself.
The Madonna reappeared six times in all, and the reports of the events drew increasing crowds of spectators. About 50 persons attended on June 13, and nearly 70,000 were present on October 13. Many witnesses saw a bright cloud over the beech tree, but only the three children could see and hear the woman.
At the behest of a group of political activists and doubters who wished to “put an end to the nonsense,” the civil prefect of Outrem seized, interrogated and threatened the children for two days in the hope of forcing a confession of fraud from them. Though the children had been prevented from meeting the Madonna on August 13, she appeared to them on August 19 at Valinhos, near the site of her first appearance. The Madonna then told them that she would appear a final time on October 13, and then produce a miracle.
On that day the Madonna transmitted the prophecy known as the Secret of Our Lady of the Rosary. It was a rainy day, but newspaper journalists who were eyewitnesses reported that the rain stopped suddenly and the sun reappeared. In the words of A. Garret, a professor at Coimbra University, the sun looked like “a burnished wheel cut out of mother of pearl. This disc spun dizzily around… It whirled upon itself with mad rapidity, then advanced, blood red, towards the Earth, threatening to crush us with its weight.” Terrified spectators fell to their knees in prayer. The sun returned to normal, then twice again repeated the prodigy. In addition, the rain-soaked clothes of the audience dried out during the brief time of the solar phenomenon.
The Solar Miracle at Fatima
The Secret of Our Lady of the Rosary is a three-part prophecy that she ordered to be kept secret for 25 years or until the death of Lucia, whichever came first. Francisco and Jacinta died in the influenza pandemic that ravaged Europe in 1918 and 1919. Lucia became a Dorothe Sister, and in 1948 she became a Barefoot Carmelite in a closed convent at Coimbra. Lucia learned to write, and recorded the text of the secret prophecy. This was kept in the Bishopric of Leiria until 1943, when Pope Pius XII revealed the first two parts through the agency of Cardinal Schuster. The final, secret part of the prophecy was opened by Pope John XXIII and several cardinals in 1960, according to the Madonna’s directions, but it was not revealed to the public. The first section is a vision of Hell. The second part predicts World War II. The following segment was published with Papal approval:
“If you do what I tell you, many souls will be saved and we shall have peace. The war is coming to an end; but it does not cease to offend the Lord, and another, more terrible one will break out. When you see a night lit up by an unknown light, you will know that it the great sign that God gives you of the next punishment of the sins of the world with war, famine, and persecution against the Church and against the Holy Father.
“In order to prevent this, I have some to intercede for the consecration of Russia to my Immaculate Heart and the communion of the first Sabbaths.
“If you carry out my demands, Russia will be converted and there will be peace. Otherwise the errors will be spread around the world, provoking war and persecution against the Church; many good people will become martyrs, the Holy Father will suffer much; many nations will be suppressed…
“But in the end my Immaculate Heart will triumph, the Holy Father will consecrate Russia for me, which will be converted and the world will be granted a period of peace…”
The “great sign”, “a night lit up by an unknown light,” occurred on January 25, 1938. It has been explained as an unusual aurora borealis. World War II began soon afterward.
The secret section of the prophecy of Our Lady of the Rosary was leaked by Pope John XXIII to certain Roman Catholic officials and world leaders of the USA, USSR, and Britain. On October 15, 1963, the German journal News Europe published the alleged text of the secret portion of the Fatima Prophecy. The text cannot be verified, but it is widely accepted as being genuine:
“Have no fear, little one. I am the Mother of God who speaks to you and asks you to publish the message I am going to give you to the whole world. You will find strong resistance while you do so. Listen well and pay attention to what I tell you.
“Men must be set on the right road once more. With suppliant humility, men must seek forgiveness for sins committed already and for sins which will be committed. You wish me to give you a sign, so that everyone will accept My Words, which I am saying through you, to the human race. I have seen the Prodigy of the Sun and all believers, unbelievers, peasants, countrymen, wise men, journalists, laics and priests, all have seen it. And now I proclaim in my name: A great punishment shall fall on the entire human race, not today and not tomorrow, but in the second half of the 20th century! I have already revealed to the children Melanie and Maximime at La Salette, and today I repeat it to you for the human race has sinned and has trampled down the Gift which I have made. In no part of the world is life in order, Satan rules in the highest position, laying down how things should be done. He will effectually succeed in bringing his influence right up to the top of the Church; succeed in seducing the spirits of the great scientists who invent the arms. And if humanity opposes me I shall be obliged to free the arm of My Son. Now I see that God will punish man with a severity that has not been used since the Flood.
“The time of times will come and everything will come to an end if humanity is not converted, and if things remain as they are now or get worse, the great and powerful men will perish just as will the small and weak.
“For the Church, too, the time of its greatest trial will come. Cardinals will oppose cardinals and bishops against bishops. Satan will march in their midst and there will be great changes at Rome. What is rotten will fall, never to rise again. The Church will be darkened and the world will shake with terror. The time will come when no king, emperor, cardinal or bishop will await Him who will, however, come, but in order to punish according to the designs of my Father.
“A great war will break out in the second half of the 20th century [not...]. Fire and smoke will fall from heaven, and waters of the oceans will become vapors, the scum will arise in a confused manner, and everything will sink down. Millions and millions of men will perish while this is going on and those who survive will envy the dead. The unexpected will follow in every part of the world, anxiety, pain and misery in every country. Have I seen it? The time is getting ever nearer and the abyss is getting wider without hope. The good will perish with the bad, the great with the small, the Heads of the Church with their faithful, and the rulers with their people. There will be death everywhere as a result of the mistakes of the unfeeling and the partisans of Satan, but when those who survive all these happenings are still alive, they will proclaim God once again and His Glory, and will serve Him as in the time when the world was not so perverted.
“Go, my little one and proclaim it. For that purpose I shall always be at your side to help you.”
The following version of the third prophecy of Fatima has been in circulation since about 1985, and published in various newspapers and magazines:
“A great plague will befall mankind in the year 2000. Nowhere in the world will there be order, and Satan will rule the highest places, determining the way of things. Satan will even succeed in asserting himself at the top of the Church.
“He will succeed in seducing the spirits of the great scientists who invent arms, with which it will be possible to destroy a large part of mankind in a few minutes. Satan will have in his power the leaders who command the people and who will incite them to produce enormous quantities of arms.
“God will punish man more thoroughly than with the Flood. There will come the time of all times and the end of all ends. The great and the powerful will perish together with the small and weak.
“Even for the Church, it will be the time of its greatest trial. Cardinals will oppose cardinals, bishops will oppose bishops. Satan will walk in their midst and in Rome there will be great changes. The Church will be darkened and the world will be shaking with terror.
“A huge war will erupt: fire and smoke will fall from the sky. The waters of the ocean will become mist, and the foam will rise to tremendous heights and everyone will drown.
“Millions and millions of men will die from hour to hour. Whoever remains alive will envy the dead. Everywhere one turns one’s glance there will be anguish and misery, ruins in every country.
“The time draws nearer, the abyss widens without hope. The good will perish with the bad, the great with the small, the princes of the church with the faithful, the rulers with their people.
“There will be death everywhere because of the errors committed by the crazed and the followers of Satan, who will then and only then rule the world.
“At the last, those who survive will at every chance newly proclaim God and His glory and they will serve Him as when the world was not so perverted.”
On her death-bed (February 1920), Jacinta told Mother Godinho:
“There is a secret of Heaven and one of earth, and the latter is terrifying. It will seem as though it were already the end of the world. And in this cataclysm everything will be separated from the sky, which will turn white as snow.”
In 1981 while visiting in Fulda, Germany, Pope John Paul II was asked about the secret message of Fatima. He answered:
“Due to the seriousness of the contents of the Fatima secret, my predecessors in the Throne of Peter have preferred to postpone the publication. Furthermore, it may be enough to the christian people to know that, if there is a message saying that the oceans will flood whole parts of the globe, and millions of people will die, from a minute to another, it is not really the case to will the publication of this secret message.”
In an interview with Sr. Lucia with Cardinal Ricardo Vidal in 1993, Sr. Lucia commented on the secret prophecy:
“The triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary also refers to (her victory over) the errors that were being spread by Russia… Our Lady’s Immaculate Heart triumphed over the errors that were being spread by Communist Russia… The Consecration of 1984 prevented an atomic war that would have occurred in 1985… The `era of peace’ does not refer to a civil peace but rather to a peace that we are now living with the end of the spread of the errors of Communist Russia”…
Fr. Joseph de Ste. Marie, who served as Fatima expert to Pope John Paul II, said:
“Let there be no hysteria concerning dates or concerning expectation of chastisements. The dates are unknown, the chastisement certain”.
Pope John Paul II was nearly assassinated on May 13, 1981 (the anniversary of Mary’s first apparitional appearance at Fatima). The gun was aimed at the Pope’s head, but Agca had to aim for his abdomen instead when the pontiff turned to a young girl who was wearing a picture of Our Lady of Fatima. While he was in the hospital, Pope John Paul reviewed the Church’s documentation of Fatima, and he read the secret Third Secret of Fatima. In 1984 the Pope consecrated Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Communism collapsed soon afterward.
The Vatican released its official document, “The Message of Fatima”, in June 2000. It includes the first and second parts of the “secret” of Fatima as written by Sr. Lucia on August 31, 1941, and a photostatic copy of the original manuscript of the third part of the secret, and comments by Sr. Lucia from conversation with Archbishops Bertone and Ferreira in April 2000 in the Carmel Monastery of St. Teresa of Coimbra in Portugal. Bertone noted:
“As is well known, Pope John Paul II immediately thought of consecrating the world to the Immaculate Heart of Mary and he himself composed a prayer for what he called an ‘Act of Entrustment’ which was to be celebrated in the Basilica of St. Mary Major on June 7, 1981.”
Sodano said that the secret contained a prophetic vision similar to those found in the Bible, but the events to which the third part of the Secret of Fatima refers now seem part of the past:
“That text contains a prophetic vision similar to those found in Sacred Scripture, which do not describe with photographic clarity the details of future events, but rather synthesize and condense against a unified background events spread out over time in a succession and a duration which are not specified. As a result, the text must be interpreted in a symbolic key.
“The vision of Fatima concerns above all the war waged by atheist systems against the Church and Christians, and it describes the immense suffering endured by the witnesses to the faith in the last century of the second millennium. It is an interminable Way of the Cross led by the Popes of the twentieth century.
“According to the interpretation of the ‘little shepherds,’ which was also recently confirmed by Sister Lucia, the ‘bishop clothed in white’ who prays for all the faithful is the Pope. As he makes his way with great effort towards the Cross amid the corpses of those who were martyred (bishops, priests, men and women religious and many lay persons), he too falls to the ground, apparently dead, under a burst of gunfire.
“After the assassination attempt of May 13 1981, it appeared evident to His Holiness that it was ‘a motherly hand which guided the bullet’s path,’ enabling the ‘dying Pope’ to halt ‘at the threshold of death.’ On the occasion of a visit to Rome by the then bishop of Leiria-Fatima, the Pope decided to give him the bullet which had remained in the jeep after the assassination attempt, so that it might be kept in the Shrine. At the behest of the bishop, the bullet was later set in the crown of the statue of Our Lady of Fatima.
“The successive events of 1989 led, both in the Soviet Union and in a number of countries of Eastern Europe, to the fall of the Communist regime which promoted atheism. For this too His Holiness offers heartfelt thanks to the Most Holy Virgin. In other parts of the world, however, attacks against the Church and against Christians, together with the burden of suffering which they involve, tragically continue. Even if the events to which the third part of the Secret of Fatima refers now seem part of the past, Our Lady’s call to conversion and penance, issued at the beginning of the twentieth century, remains timely and urgent today. ‘The Lady of the message seems to read the signs of the times – the signs of our time – with special insight… The insistent invitation of Mary Most Holy to penance is nothing but the manifestation of her maternal concern for the fate of the human family, in need of conversion and forgiveness.’
“In order that the faithful may better receive the message of Our Lady of Fatima, the Pope has charged the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith with making public the third part of the secret, after the preparation of an appropriate commentary”.
The following official Vatican version is alleged to be the complete translation of the original Portuguese text of the third part of the secret of Fatima that was revealed to the three pastorinhos children on July 13, 1917 at Cova da Iria-Fatima, as written by Sr. Lucia on January 3, 1944:
“I write in obedience to you, my God, who command me to do so through his Excellency the Bishop of Leiria and through your Most Holy Mother and mine.
“After the two parts which I have already explained, at the left of Our Lady and a little above, we saw an Angel with a flaming sword in his left hand; flashing, it gave out flames that looked as though they would set the world on fire; but they died out in contact with the splendor that Our Lady radiated towards him from her right hand: pointing to the earth with his right hand, the Angel cried out in a loud voice: ‘Penance, Penance, Penance!’ And we saw in an immense light that is God: ’something similar to how people appear in a mirror when they pass in front of it’ a Bishop dressed in White ‘we had the impression that it was the Holy Father’. Other Bishops, Priests, men and women Religious going up a steep mountain, at the top of which there was a big Cross of rough-hewn trunks as of a cork-tree with the bark; before reaching there the Holy Father passed through a big city half in ruins and half trembling with halting step, afflicted with pain and sorrow, he prayed for the souls of the corpses he met on his way; having reached the top of the mountain, on his knees at the foot of the big Cross he was killed by a group of soldiers who fired bullets and arrows at him, and in the same way there died one after another the other Bishops, Priests, men and women Religious, and various lay people of different ranks and positions. Beneath the two arms of the Cross there were two Angels each with a crystal aspersorium in his hand, in which they gathered up the blood of the Martyrs and with it sprinkled the souls that were making their way to God.”
Sr. Lucia & Pope John Paul II

The Mediatrix of All Grace ~
The Blessed Mother appeared 19 times in 1948 to Teresita Catillo, a novice in the Carmelite order in Lipa City, Philippines. She stood in radiant beauty on a cloud with a golden Rosary clasped in her hands. Her message emphasized the need for humble prayer and penance. She identified herself thus:
“I am the Mediatrix of All Grace”.
The Mediatrix told several secrets to Teresita, who said that there was one for herself, one for the convent, one for China, and one for all humanity. Our Lady requested that a statue of her be erected at the site of her visitation. A blue bird reportedly appeared repeatedly at the vine where Our Lady manifested, and there were accounts of a spinning sun (per Fatima), the fragrance of roses, and showers of rose petals that bore miraculous images of Jesus Christ, Virgin Mary, and scenes such as the Crucifixion! The petals are said to have remarkable powers of healing.
Teresita experienced many other mystical visions that included angels, many saints, and the Sacred Heart. She was seen to enter an unconscious trance in which she would enact the Crucifixion. The apparitions caused much disturbance in the community, and the convent was persecuted. All records of the apparitions, including Teresita’s diary, were destroyed. The statue of Our Lady was hidden by the nuns, however, thus saving it from destruction. The convent was sealed and the nuns were forbidden to speak to any outsiders. Teresita left the convent in the 1950s under the pressure of negative media and fraudulent “Holy Rose Petal” vendors who were exploiting the situation. The apparitions ceased.
Then in February 1990, a new appearance occurred in Lipa City’s Granja District. The glowing form of a woman in prayer appeared on one of the leaves of a coconut tree. It was visible only in the evening. On her deathbed on May 21,1990, Sister Aphonse begged that the statue of the Mediatrix be restored to the convent’s chapel ; her wish was granted the next day, and the statue was displayed again for the first time in 40 years.
On January 24, 1991, rose petals once again fell from the sky at the Carmelite convent, and a few days later several children who were playing in the convent garden saw the statue become animated.

Our Lady of All Nations ~
On March 25, 1945, the Virgin Mary appeared as Our Lady of All Nations and delivered her message to Ida Peerdeman, a single woman who was 40 years old at that time, living in Amsterdam. Ida continued to receive messages from her (56 in all) until 1950. Much emphasis was placed on the Eucharist, which can save the world. Following are excerpts from some of the messages:
“I see on my left somebody standing over me in a long white garment, full of womanly grace. I understand her to be the Blessed Virgin. She lifts up three, then four, and finally five fingers while saying to me, “The 3 stands for March, the 4 for April, and the 5 for May 5th.” Then she shows me her Rosary and says, “This has saved you. Persevere to the end [in saying it].” After a brief silence she adds, “The prayer is to be made known everywhere.” Then in front of me I see nothing but soldiers, many of them Allies, and the Blessed Virgin is pointing to them. She takes the crucifix of her Rosary in her hand and points at it and then again to the soldiers. I am given to understand that the Cross must become the support of the lives of those soldiers, for the voice continues: “They will soon go home now — these here”, and she points to the troops.
“I ask, “Are you Mary?”
“She smiles and answers, “They will call me ‘The Lady Mother’.” The figure walks past me and then I look at the palm of my hand. A cross is being laid down before me and I have to take it up. I do so very slowly; it is heavy. All at once everything is gone.” (First Apparition, March 25, 1945)
“The Lady looks at me and moves a warning finger from side to side, saying, “Listen, mankind. You will preserve peace if you believe in Him. Make this known,” she adds. This is repeated three times. While speaking, she puts a crucifix in my hand and I have to hold it up in all directions for everyone to see. The Lady points to the crucifix.” (April 21, 1945)
“I hear the voice again and suddenly I see a sacrifice being offered as in ancient times. The smoke, however, hangs over the altar. I hear the voice say, “Yahweh warns His people.” Then I hear, “Be faithful. They have scattered my lambs.” Then the Lady plants a crucifix upon the sacrificial altar and I see, as it were, the whole world gathered around it. The people, however, are standing there with downcast looks and turned away from the cross. “Come, my faithful ones!” the voice now calls and I see a chalice being offered to the crowd. “But for a number of them in vain”, I hear the voice say. I feel an impulse to look up and all at once I see the Lady standing before me. She smiles, extends her arms and calls invitingly, “Come.” A large number of men of all sorts is now standing before me: “gentlemen”, “rough men” and men dressed in black (priests and religious). Among then all there is a mixture of good and not so good. The Lady urges them to follow her, promising to guide them. Now I see a long and hard road before me, at the end of which there is a great light. “This way”, says the Lady, and with an impressive gesture she indicates to the men that they have to walk along this road. The going is very difficult. On both sides men are falling away. The Lady watches with motherly solicitude and keeps smiling at them compassionately. Then I see written before me, “Be renewed in Jesus Christ.” After this the Lady looks sad and says, “England will find her way back to me.” She pauses and then adds very slowly and quietly, “So will America.” Then the Lady disappears and I see a peculiar cloud hanging over the world.” (July 29, 1945)

Pope Pius XII ~
Pope Pius XII once witnessed the solar phenomenon of Fatima while he was walking in the gardens of the Vatican. Two days later he formally declared Assumption to be as Catholic Dogma: Mary was assumed body and soul into Heaven. He described his solar experience in a letter to one of his cardinals:
“Having lifted the papers I had in my hand, I was struck by a phenomenon I had never seen before. The sun, which was fairly high, looked like a pale yellow opaque globe completely surrounded by a luminous halo, which nevertheless did not prevent me at all from staring attentively at the sun without the slightest discomfort. A very light cloud was before it. The opaque globe began moving outward, slowly turning over upon itself, and going from left to right and vice-versa. But within the globe very strong movements could be seen in all clarity and without interruption.”

Pope John XXIII ~
According to accounts available only on the Internet, Pope John XXIII, who reigned from 1958 to 1963, apparently kept a secret diary that contains his handwritten accounts of visions of Christ and the Madonna. The diary was found by a cleaning woman in a storage room at the Vatican. Father DeAngelo released some of the entries made between February 1959-April 1963. The first appearance of Christ took place February 12th, 1959:
“Dear God, I have been blessed like no man before me. The Savior has granted me a special audience here in my chambers. He tells me that I’ve been chosen to hear the truth no matter how awful it may be. It scares me a bit to be so entrusted, but I am honored all the same. Jesus tells me the Virgin Mary will come soon to deliver the first news of what will be.”
“She is more beautiful than I had ever imagined. The Madonna is a joy to behold. I just wish her message was a more positive one. She says in four years time the world will lose a great leader, and a powerful nation will find itself involved in a conflict it cannot win. The fighting will take its toll on the battlefield and from within as the population despises the loss of its young men. The Holy Mother sheds tears as she describes the heart-breaking vision.” (April 7, 1959)
“The Madonna’s second visit is much like the first. She speaks sadly of unrest in her homeland, a change in the balance of power, and much blood being spilled in the sand. She says several madmen will send their people into battles in the name of God, but the Creator will have had nothing to do with these senseless struggles among brothers.” (August 17, 1959)
“Christ comes to me again. I yearn to tell my fellow Christians of these miraculous appearances, but I am advised to keep quiet until the time is right. I cannot help but think I could perhaps head off some of the trouble that looms for us all. But Christ tells me that misery must take place for the master plan to succeed.” (January 30, 1960)
“The Virgin Mary says the world will get a false sense of hope 30 years from now when the chains of repression are shattered throughout Eastern Europe. The joy however, will be short-lived as the freed people fight among themselves on how to run their countries. Thousands of poor, innocent children will perish due to the foolishness of their fathers.” (June 13, 1960)
“Just when I thought my heavenly visits were over, the Madonna comes to me once again. She seems tired of the heartache she must share with me. My heart aches to see Her hurting so. The news again is foreboding. The early 1990’s will be a period of deadly natural disasters. She says paradise will be struck by powerful winds and waves while killer floods and earthquakes will shatter dwellings. By the middle of the decade, regional skirmishes will develop into full-fledged conflicts. As the casualties mount, worldwide famine will strike. The devastation will be like none seen before, especially throughout Africa, where millions will perish.” (July 19, 1962)
“She has returned with yet more bad news. It is becoming truly difficult for this humble servant to hear of such overwhelming hardships. The Madonna tells me terrifying diseases will be unleashed on the already weakened population of the world by late 1984. Wars will begin to wind down because the fighting nations will be greatly weakened from within. This is the beginning of the change. Hallelujah.” (September 23, 1961)
“From the heavens will appear the saviors. They will arrive on June 5, 1995 [not...] and begin the task of assisting in the cleanup and repair of the environment and the crippled countries. Many will fear these odd- looking beings but they come in peace and will, with God’s guidance, transform earth from a charred spinning rock to a lush oasis in space. The survivors will flourish in a world without war, disease, or hatred. My heart is finally at peace with this knowledge that there is hope for humanity.”(May 19, 1962)
“The Madonna tells me this will be her final visit. It is a joyous one for she shares tremendous news. As the year 1998 arrives [not...], our heavenly friends will have shared much of their advanced knowledge. Mankind will at last wipe out most of its diseases, and our life span will increase to the length of those listed in the bible. The visitors will also share the remarkable power of resurrection and throngs of wrongly dead will rise again. Finally a wondrous miracle will take place in the sky above New York City, December 25, 2000 [not...] when millions will witness the sensational appearance of a messiah who will announce the beginning of a second paradise here on earth.” (July 2, 1962)

Our Lady of Garabandal ~
In June of 1961, The Virgin Mary appeared to four girls (Conchita Gonzales, Mari Loli Mazon, Jacinta Gonzalez, and Mari Cruz Gonzalez, ages 11-12) near the village of San Sebastian de Garabandal in the Cantabrian Mountains of northwest Spain. The girls were praying together when they heard a thunderous sound and saw a beautiful angel. It said nothing, then disappeared. The girls ran to the village church and told everyone about the occurence. The angel appeared to them several more times before it announced that the Blessed Virgin would appear to them. Later that day she appeared in the company of two angels with an all-seeing eye above her. She visited the girls more than 2,000 times in the next four years. The apparition repeatedly urged repentance, and said that a miraculous sign will appear some day. Conchita wrote this about it in her Diary:
“I am the only one to whom the Blessed Virgin spoke of the miracle. She forbade me to say what it will consist of. I can’t announce the date either until eight days before it is due to occur. What I can reveal is that it will coincide with an event in the Church and with the feast of a saint, martyr of the Eucharist; that it will take place at 8:30 on a Thursday evening; that it will be visible to all those who are in the village and surrounding the mountains; that the sick who are present will be cured, and the incredulous will believe. It will be the greatest miracle that Jesus will have performed for the world. There won’t be the slightest doubt that it comes from God and that it is for the good of mankind. A sign of the Miracle, which it will be possible to film or televise, will remain forever…
“The Warning, like the Chastisement, is a fearful thing for the good as well as the wicked. It will draw the good closer to God and warn the wicked that the end of times are coming.. .The Warning is something that is seen in the air, everywhere in the world and is immediately transmitted into the interior of our souls. It will last a very little time, but it will seem a very long time because of its effect within us. It would be like fire. It will not burn our flesh, but we will feel it bodily and interiorly… [It will be] like two stars that crash and make a lot of noise, and a lot of light but they don’t fall. It’s not going to hurt us but we’re going to see it and, in that moment, we’re going to see our consciences.”
The event will occur between March 8-May16 on a Thursday at 8:30 p.m. (Garabandal time), within a year of the Warning foretold by Our Lady of Fatima. Conchita will be warned of the event 8 days beforehand. It will occur on the feast day of a Eucharist martyr, and it will coincide with a “great event” in the Church.
The following message from Mary is excerpted from Conchita’s notes:
“The Virgin told me about this on January 1st, 1965, up in the pine grove. I cannot say what it will consist of, because she did not command me to do so. And, as for when it is going to be, she did not tell me, so I do not know. What I do know is that it will be visible to everybody; it will be a direct work of God and will take place before the miracle. I do not know whether people will die because of it. They could only die from the shock of seeing it…
“The Virgin told only me about the miracle. She forbade me to say what it will consist of. I cannot reveal the date either until eight days beforehand. What I am allowed to say is that it will coincide with an event in the Church, and with the feast of a Saint who is a martyr of the Holy Eucharist; it will be at half-past eight on a Thursday evening; it will be visible to everybody in the village and on the surrounding mountainsides; the sick who are present will be cured and the incredulous will believe. It will be the greatest miracle that Jesus has worked for the world. There will not remain the slightest doubt that it comes from God and is for the good of mankind. In the pine grove, a sign of the miracle will be left forever. It will be possible to film and televise it…
“The punishment is conditioned to whether or not mankind heeds the Blessed Virgin’s messages and the miracle. If it does take place, then I know what it will consist of, because the Virgin told me, but I am not allowed to say. What is more, I have seen the punishment. What I can assure you is that, if it comes, it is far worse than if we were enveloped in fire; worse than if we had fire above us, and fire beneath. I do not know how long a time will elapse after the miracle, before God sends it.”
In 1962, the Blessed Virgin told Conchita a prophecy of the popes; according to her, Pope John Paul II will be the last pope:
“There would be two more popes after Pope Paul VI and that one of the popes would have a very short reign. After that would come the end times but not the end of the world.”
Conchita made this announcement on September 14, 1965:
“The sign that will remain forever at the pines is something we will be able to photograph, televise, and see, but not touch. It will be evident that it is not a thing of this world but from God.”

Padre Pio ~
The stigmata of the Capuchin priest Padre Pio da Pietrelcina (1887-1968) bled about a cup of blood daily for 50 years. He also transmitted the following Marian prophecies, excerpted from a letter to the Commission of Heroldsbach, appointed by the Vatican to investigate his case:
“My son, My son, I have been longing for this hour in which I again shall reveal to you the great love of My heart… Pray and make reparation to Me. Admonish others to do the same because the time is near at hand in which I shall visit My unfaithful people because they have not heeded the time of My grace. Persevere in prayer, so that your adversary shall have no dominion over you. Tell My people to be prepared at all times, for My judgment shall come upon them suddenly and when least expected — and not one shall escape My hands, I shall find them all! I shall protect the just. Watch the sun and moon and the stars of the Heavens. When they appear to be unduly disturbed and restless, know that the day is not far away. Stay united in prayer and watching until the angel of destruction has passed your doors. Pray that these days will be shortened.” (1949)
“Pray! Make reparation! Be fervent and practice mortifications. Great things are at stake! Pray! Men are running toward the abyss of Hell in great rejoicing and merry-making, as though they were going to a masquerade ball or the wedding feast of the devil himself! Assist Me in the salvation of souls. The measure of sin is filled! The day of revenge, with its terrifying happenings is near — nearer then you can imagine! And the world is seeping in false security! The Divine Judgment shall strike them like a thunderbolt! These Godless and wicked people shall be destroyed without mercy, as were the inhabitants of Sodom and Gomorra of old. Yes, I tell you their wickedness was not as great as that of our human race today! (Jan.23, 1950)
“Keep your windows well-covered. Do not look out. Light a blessed candle, which will suffice for many days. Pray the Rosary. Read spiritual books. Make acts of Spiritual Communion, also acts of love, which are so pleasing to Us. Pray with outstretched arms, or prostrate on the ground, in order that many souls may be saved. Do not go outside the house. Provide yourself with sufficient food. The powers of nature shall be moved and a rain of fire shall make people tremble with fear. Have courage! I am in the midst of you.” (Jan. 28, 1950)
“Take care of the animals during these days. I am the creator and preserver of animals as well as man. I shall give you a few signs beforehand, at which time you should place more food before them. I will preserve the property of the elect, including the animals, for they shall be in need of sustenance afterwards as well. Let no one go across the yard, even to feed the animals-he who steps outside will perish! Cover your windows carefully. My elect shall not see My wrath. Have confidence in Me, and I will be your protection.
“Hurricanes of fire will pour forth from the clouds and spread over the entire earth! Storms, bad weather, thunderbolts and earthquakes will cover the earth for two days. An uninterrupted rain of fire will take place! It will begin on during a very cold night. All this is to prove that God is the Master of Creation. Those who hope in Me, and believe in My words, have nothing to fear because I will not forsake them, nor those who spread My message. No harm will come to those who are in the state of grace and who seek My Mother’s protection.
“That you may be prepared for these visitations, I will give you the following signs and instructions: The night will be very cold. The wind will roar. After a time thunderbolt will be heard. Lock all the doors and windows. Talk to no one outside the house. Kneel down before a crucifix, be sorry for your sins, and beg My Mothers protection. Do not look during the earthquake, because the anger of God is holy! Jesus does not want us to behold the anger of God, because God’s anger must be contemplated with fear and trembling.
“Those who disregard this advice will be killed instantly. The wind will carry with it poisonous gases which will be diffused over the entire earth. Those who suffer and die innocently will be martyrs and they will be with Me in My Kingdom. Satan will triumph! But in three nights, the earthquake and fire will cease. On the following day the sun will shine again, angels will descend from Heaven and will spread the spirit of peace over the earth. A feeling of immeasurable gratitude will take possession of those who survive this most terrible ordeal, the impending punishment, with which God will visit the earth since creation.
“I have chosen souls in other countries too, such as Belgium, Switzerland, Spain, who have received these revelations so that other countries also may be prepared. Pray Rosary, but pray it well, so that your prayers may reach Heaven. Soon a more terrible catastrophe shall come upon the entire world, such as never before has been witnessed, a terrible chastisement never before experienced!
“How unconcerned men are regarding these things! Which shall so soon come upon them, contrary to all expectations. How indifferent they are in preparing themselves for these unheard of events, through which they will have to pass so shortly! The weight of divine balance has reached the earth! The wrath of My Father shall be poured out over the entire world! I am again warning the world through your instrumentality, as I have so often done heretofore.
“This catastrophe shall come upon the earth like a flash of lightning! At which moment the light of the morning sun shall be replaced by black darkness! No one shall leave the house or look out a window from that moment on. I Myself shall come amidst thunder and lightning. The wicked shall behold My Divine Heart. There shall be great confusion because of this utter darkness in which the entire earth shall be enveloped, and many, many shall die from fear and despair.
“On that day, as soon as complete darkness has set in, no one shall leave the house or look from out of the window. The darkness shall last a day and a night followed by another day and night, and another day-but on the night following, the stars will shine again, and on the next morning the sun shall rise again, and it will be SPRINGTIME!! In the days of darkness, My elect shall not sleep, as did the disciples in the garden. They shall pray incessantly, and they shall not be disappointed in Me. I shall gather My elect. Hell will believe itself to be in possession of the entire earth, but I shall reclaim it.
“Again and again I have warned men, and often have I given them special opportunities to return to the right path; but now, wickedness has reached its climax, and the punishment can no longer be delayed. Tell all that the time has come in which these things shall be fulfilled.” (Feb. 7, 1950)

Sister Agnes Sasagawa ~
Another Marian apparition that has been approved by the Catholic Church occurred in 1969 in Japan. An angelic being appeared to Sister Agnes Sasagawa, who was a postulant in the Order of the handmaids of the Eucharist. The angel gave her a prayer to add to her Rosary:
“O My Jesus, forgive us our sins; save us from the fire of hell; lead all souls to heaven, especially those most in need.”
This prayer was one of those given by the Blessed Virgin to the children at Fatima! On June 12, 1973, Sister Agnes, who was deaf, heard a voice urging her to go pray in the chapel:
“Do not fear. Pray with fervor not only because of your sins, but in reparation for those of all men. The world today wounds the most Sacred Heart of Our Lord by its ingratitudes and injuries. The wounds of Mary are much deeper and more sorrowful than yours. Let us go pray together in the chapel.”
When she went there, she saw brilliant beams of light emanating from the tabernacle. The light appeared during the next two days. On June 28, stigmata (the wounds of Christ) began to appear on her hands in the form of a bleeding cross. On July 6, while praying in the chapel, Sr. Agnes heard a the statue of the Virgin Mary speak to her, and other sisters saw blood dripping from the statue’s right hand later the same day. The phenomena repeated itself four times, ending on September 29. On that day, sisters witnessed “sweat” exuding from the statue’s forehead and neck. Then the statue began to “weep”, and continued to do so until 1982. A Japanese TV crew was able to film the weeping phenomenon.
Sister Agnes continued to receive messages from the angel (speaking for Mary) for 9 more years. The following prophecies are excerpted from the transmissions:
“If men do not repent and better themselves, the Father will inflict a terrible punishment on all humanity. It will be a punishment greater than the deluge, such as one will never have seen before. Fire will fall from the sky and wipe out a great part of humanity, the good as well as the bad, sparing neither priests nor faithful. The survivors will find themselves so desolate that they will envy the dead.”
“Is the infirmity of your ears painful? Your deafness will be healed. Does the wound of your hand cause you to suffer? Pray in reparation for the sins of men. [The apparition gave the text of a prayer.] Pray very much for the pope, bishops, and priests. Tell your superior all that passed today…” (July 6, 1973)
“If you love the Lord, listen to what I have to say to you. It is very important; you will convey it to your superior. Many men in this world afflict the Lord. I desire souls to console him to soften the anger of the heavenly father. I wish, with my son, for souls who will repair by their suffering and their poverty for the sinners and ingrates.
“In order that the world might know his anger, the heavenly father is preparing to inflict a great chastisement on all mankind. I have intervened so many times to appease the wrath of the father. I have prevented the coming of calamities by offering him the sufferings of the son on the cross, his precious blood, and beloved souls who console him forming a cohort of victim souls. Prayer, penance and courageous sacrifices can soften the father’s anger… Even in a secular institute prayer is necessary. Already souls who wish to pray are on the way to being gathered together. Without attaching too much attention to the form, be faithful and fervent in prayer to console the master.” (August 3, 1973)
“My dear daughter, listen well to what I have to say to you. You will inform your superior. As I told you, if men do not repent and better themselves, the father will inflict a terrible punishment on all humanity. It will be a punishment greater than the deluge, such as one will never seen before. Fire will fall from the sky and will wipe out a great part of humanity, the good as well as the bad, sparing neither priests nor faithful. The survivors will find themselves so desolate that they will envy the dead… The work of the devil will infiltrate even into the Church in such a way that one will see cardinals opposing cardinals, bishops against bishops. The priests who venerate me will be scorned and opposed by their confreres… churches and altars sacked; the Church will be full of those who accept compromises, and the demon will press many priests and consecrated souls to leave the service of the Lord. The demon will be especially implacable against souls consecrated to God. The thought of the loss of so many souls is the cause of my sadness. If sins increase in number and gravity, there will be no longer pardon for them. Today is the last time that I will speak to you in living voice. From now on you will obey the one sent to you and your superior.” (Oct. 13, 1973)

The Madonna at Zeitun ~
The phenomenal apparition of Mary at Zeitun, Egypt began on April 2,1968 and lasted for three years. During that period, she was witnessed by more than 4 million people, photographed and televised. Egyptian President Abdul Nasser also saw her. Egyptian police searched a 15-mile radius around the site but could not find any form of equipment that could project images in such a manner. The apparitions lasted up to 9 hours, and were accompanied by doves of white light. Fragrant purple smoke rose from the church at the same time. An orthodox commission was formed to investigate the phenomenon, and several members observed the events. The apparitions were silent, but they spoke volumes to the faithful who witnessed them. They received little publicity outside of Egypt.
Moslems who saw her chanted the Kuranic passage, “Mary, God has chosen thee, and purified thee; he has chosen thee above all women.”
Another Marian apparition began to occur in Egypt in 1983, when a beautiful woman clothed in light appeared walking in the air above the Church of St. Damian in Shoubra, a suburb of Cairo. Thousands of people witnessed her manifestation, and in 1987 a commission of the Coptic Church concluded that this was a “blessing on the people of Egypt — May God save our country!”

Our Mother of the Word ~
The Blessed Virgin (and occasionally Christ) appeared to several visionaries (Alphonsie, Emmanuel, Anathalie, Marie-Claire, Stephanie, Agnes, and Vestine) at Kihebo in Rwanda (Africa) in November 1981. Three of them were students at a college administered by nuns in that area, and the others lived in the bush. Emmanuel was given the following message from the Holy Mother:
‘There isn’t much time left in preparing for the Last Judgment. We must change our lives; renounce sin. Pray and prepare for our own death and for the end of the world. We must prepare while there is still time. Those who do well will go to Heaven. If they do evil, they will condemn themselves with no hope of appeal. Do not lose time in doing good and praying. There is not much time and Jesus will come.”
During one vision of the future, which lasted 8 hours, they saw horrible images of tragedy: massacre, decapitated bodies, and many bodies thrown into the rivers. They saw that if Rwanda did not return to God, there would be “a tree in flames, a river of blood, and many abandoned, decapitated corpses”. The Rwandan holocaust that came a few years later fulfilled their words.
The apparitions ended for the visionaries by 1983, with the exception of Alphonsine, who continued to receive a visitation from “Our Mother of the Word” [ÆTZI] every November 28 until 1989. She emphasized the importance of prayer, especially the Rosary, and of love for ourselves and others. Christ once said to Emmanuel (who was killed in the Rwandan holocaust):
“Too many people treat their neighbors dishonestly. The world is full of hatred. You will know my Second Coming is at hand when you see the outbreak of religious wars. Then, know that I am on the way.”
The Blessed Mother told the seers why she had returned as well:
“I have come to prepare the way for my Son for your good and you do not want to understand. The time remaining is short and you are absent-minded. You are distracted by the goods of this world which are passing. I have seen many of my children getting lost and I have come to show them the true way”.
The apparitions in Kibeho have been approved for public devotion, and the Church is continuing to review the events there.

Veronica Lueken ~
The Virgin Mary and Jesus Christ appeared to Veronica Lueken over a period of 25 years during her Rosary vigils in Flushing Meadows Park, NY.
The Blessed Virgin warned that unless we return to traditional morals, World War III and a great comet will kill billions of people “within this century, if not sooner.”
Since the event did not come to pass in the 20th century, then perhaps we have rehabilitated sufficiently for Divine purposes, and catastrophe has been averted, but more likely it has merely been postponed. Our Lady has been appointed by God to warn humanity that there will be a cleansing by fire unless we repent and correct our ways. The chastisement will be preceded by a worldwide Warning, and that will be followed by a great Miracle. If mankind still refuses to change, then God will punish us.
On April 21, 1973, Veronica Leuken received a Warning while in she was in ecstasy:
“It’s as though everything has exploded in the sky. There is a great flash! Then it’s very hot – very warm – and it feels like you’re burning. There is a huge explosion, and the sky becomes very white. . .and then there are colors – blues, purples. . . It ’s like a huge explosion. Now this voice — the voice …! And the voice, Our Lady says, is a voice within you: “Your warning before the Chastisement! Flash, fire, and the voice within you! The final Warning before Chastisement.
“Man will feel that the very powers of the elements have shaken the very foundations of his being. So great will be the impact of this Warning from the Father that none will doubt that it had come from the Father… It will be a major awakening to many. The rumbling and the shaking of the elements will set fright into many hearts… Hearts will shudder with fear and men will drop from fright… Many signs of an angry God will appear before you. . .”
On June 12, 1976, the Blessed Virgin Mary told Mrs. Lueken that the Warning was close at hand:
“My child, you must pray more: do much penance. For the Warning is coming upon mankind. There will be a tremendous explosion and the sky shall roll back like a scroll, this force shall go within the very core of the human. He will understand his offenses to his God. However, this Warning will be of short duration. and many shall continue upon their road to perdition, so hard are the hearts hardened now, My child.”
“The Eternal Father will send a Warning to mankind, a great Warning of such magnitude that very few will doubt that it comes from the Eternal Father and is not man-made.” (July 25, 1978)
“There is to come upon you a great Warning, of such magnitude that every man, woman and child will feel the burning fires within.” (September 28, 1974)
“All who remain in the light of grace will have no fear. They will pass through this great Warning without suffering.” (April 5, 1975)
“As the day follows night, so shall this Warning follow soon. Beware of the sunrise! Do not look up to the sky, the flash!!! Beware of the sunrise! Do not look up to the sky, the flash!!! Close your windows! Draw your shades! Remain inside: do not venture outside your door, or you will not return! Pray! Prostrate yourselves upon your floor! Pray with arms outstretched and beg for mercy of your God, the Father. Do not seek or receive your animals into your homes, for the animals of those who have remained of well spirit will be taken care of.”
“O My children, how many will try to go back and restore their homes when it is too late. Keep blessed candles, water, blankets, food within your homes. The candles of those who have remained in the state of grace shall not be extinguished, but the candles in the homes of those who have given themselves to Satan shall not burn! Amen. I say to you, as night follows day a great darkness shall descend upon mankind.”
“When the Warning is sent upon man, there will be no doubt in the minds of man that it descends from the heavens. However, those who have already committed themselves to Satan will see and yet not believe.” (September 28, 1973)
“The Father chooses to send upon you first a great manifestation, a Warning. And should you not listen to the voice within you, He will have no recourse but to go forth with the plan for full cleansing. My Son has given you His words; you have received one of the final warning given to man.” (May 10, 1973)
On June 8, 1974, Jacinta also channeled a message through Veronica:
“It is true that I gave a final message [to Mother Godinho], but I, too, could not give the date — only to warn the world that a great Warning would come to mankind. It would be a great cataclysm Warning, and then there would be a great Miracle. And after that, if nothing changes and man continues to offend the Father, He would have to start this terrible, terrible trial. For there will be a great War and there will be a great, terrible chastisement.”
Bishop John Mugavero of Brooklyn, however, issued a “Declaration Concerning the Bayside Movement” (November 4, 1986), in which he declared:
“No credibility can be given to the so-called “apparitions” reported by Veronica Lueken and her followers.
“The “messages” and other related propaganda contain statements which, among other things, are contrary to the teachings of the Catholic Church, undermine the legitimate authority of bishops and councils and instill
doubts in the minds of the faithful, for example, by claiming that, for years, an “imposter (sic) Pope” governed the Catholic Church in place of Paul VI.
“Those who persistently maintain that “no ecclesiastical permission is required for the publication or dissemination” of information concerning “revelations, visions or miracles,” are erroneously interpreting the directives of the Holy See when they attempt to justify the publication of the propaganda literature on the “Bayside Messages.”
This warning was issued in 1988, but since then it has become just another failed prophecy:
“I, as your Mother, I am terribly depressed in knowing what is fast coming upon mankind. I see beyond me a ball, a large ball. Were it placed next to the sun, this ball would be like two suns in the sky. But it is a ball of destruction, and I tell you, My children, We have been attempting to hold this back with all manners of graces, and fasting, and suffering. But the Eternal Father says, ‘Look up, My child’; He said to look far up into the sky. Your human eyes cannot perceive yet what is up there, but there is a ball, to mankind known as ‘unknown origin.’ But it is not unknown: it is the Ball of Redemption.
“Do not be affrighted, My child, you must see this, for it is important. Within this century this Ball will be sent upon mankind.
“My child, I took you from your bed of pain and illness to bring you here to tell the world to prepare now. It is almost too late. We have asked also, urgently, and have had great cooperation from the earth’s masses of people– to Rome to tell them, Look up, and see what lies beyond your windows: a Ball that is fast hurtling towards earth! It will be here within this century, if not sooner. For even the scientists have failed to recognize the speed of this Ball.”
Veronica: “I see a terrible globe, it looks like a globe of fire. It’s frightening! It’s now bouncing around, like it has no control; as though it’s not in a general place to be. It has bounced off another, what looks like a comet, and has actually destroyed the comet to the left”.
VM: “This one will not be destroyed; for mankind has listened, but has not followed a schedule, as We would say, placed upon mankind by Heaven., a schedule for prayers and repentance. This has not been done to the satisfaction of the Eternal Father. All must get down on their knees and beg for repentance of mankind. It is mankind’s balance.”
Veronica: “And I see now, over on the right side, there’s Michael; and he is holding a balance in his hands. He has on one of the balances, there seems to be gold and silver; but on the other, it seems to be heaped with rocks! And Our Lady is now touching Her lips again, like this, with Her crucifix and then Her finger, like this:
VM: “My child, I also have to tell you: look up and see, and repeat what you see.”
Veronica: “I see a large crowd of people in Rome. No, it’s not Rome, because I can’t see the…I know the city. Looks like it may be in Russia. I am not familiar, Blessed Mother, with Russia or the buildings”.
VM: “You will understand, My child, because at this very moment there is a dissident under the number five of communism that is planning to kill the Pope. His words, We hear are, ‘This time we will not fail to destroy him!’
“Please, My children, pray for your Holy Father, the Pope. You must not lose him, for the one who comes after him will destroy if he can–he will attempt to destroy, I should say, My child and My children; he will attempt to destroy Pope John Paul II.
“I know, My child, how this has both affrightened you, and also made you feel weak from terror. I did not want to bring you here at first, My child, as I know how weak and ill you have become; but you see, you must help Our children upon earth.
“Also, they are so lacking in interest in many places. Children are disappearing by the thousands, and where do they go? They go straight to the pits of hell, as they become pawns in the hands of the satanists.
“Yes, My child and My children–and My child, Veronica– you must be very careful. I have warned you not to go out alone, not even to your roadway; for you heard the music, My child. They were gathered beneath your windowsill.
“I know, My child, I kept this from you at our last meeting, but it is urgent that you must know this. They are also going to try to murder you on your stoop. Do not be afraid, My child; your destiny is with Jesus and the Father.
“Now, My child, I want you to look up, and look far into the sky. What do you see?”
Veronica: “I see a group of people, talking outside a building. The building looks like it may be in Russia. That’s the only place I saw spires like they have there. Now coming out of this building are two sinister-looking men. They’re looking at shotguns. And they ‘re also whispering. I can’t hear what they’re saying, but they are mentioning the Pope. They keep repeating, ‘the Pope.’ Now both of them are laughing, like they have accomplished something bad; but they are laughing because they are demons!”.
VM: “My child, when We talk of demons, I also mentioned to you that you must be very careful and warn all that Satan was trying, and accomplished his mission, to go into the workrooms of the White Berets and the Blue Berets.
“What is he going to do? He will bring discord and dissatisfaction. And what are you going to do, My child? You are going to pray more, and make a decision; for We are not allowing you to be alone. But you must gain wisdom by making a decision.
“I leave that up to you, My child, as you will follow the rules of charity, holiness, and, also, faith. The greatest is faith: faith in your fellow man, not only accepting the sorrows of earth…
“But do not search, My children, for wealth. Within two years or less, there will be a great crash of the market. The whole world’s monetary systems will be paralyzed. That, My child, is why you had to come this evening to the grounds”. [not...]

Maria Bianchini ~
The Venezuelan stigmatist Maria Esperanza Bianchini, whose wounds appear on Good Friday, has been the reciprient of many mystical experiences since 1976. She has reported many conversations with the Virgin Mary, she has levitated during Mass, and has been seen to bilocate (appear in two places at once). She and several other persons have witnessed apparitions of the Blessed Virgin in the village of Cua in the Finca Betania region of Venezuela. In 1984, Mary explained the reason for her appearances:
“I come to reconcile them, to seek them out, to give them faith, which has disappeared in the noise and din of an atomic awakening which is at the point of bursting out. My message is of faith, love and hope. More than anything, it brings reconciliation between people and nations. It is the only thing that can save this century from war and eternal death…If a change does not come and a conversion of life, one will perish under the fire, war and death…
“Forgive one another. Love one another. Serve one another. Pray for the Church. Pray for priests. Return to the Sacraments, dear little children. Confess your sins while the sun shines. Sacrifice yourselves for the conversion of sinners and for peace in the world. All of you are children of God. All are loved.”
Mary also told Maria that mankind would be facing its hour of decision in the mid-1990’s, when there would be grave danger of war involving Asia and Russia. Apparently humanity has passed that crisis for the time being. Mary also gave this warning:
“There is coming the great moment of a great day of light. The consciences of this beloved people must be violently shaken so that they may ‘put their house in order’ and offer to Jesus the just reparation for the daily infidelities that are committed on the part of sinners…”
The Grotto at Cua
Visitors to the grotto have reported visions of the Blessed Virgin, falls of rose petals out of the air, angelic choirs, and healings.
After more than 10 years of investigation by the Church, Bishop Pio Bello Ricardo stated:
“After having studied repeatedly the apparitions of the Most Holy Virgin in Betania, and having begged the Lord earnestly for spiritual discernment, I declare that in my judgement said apparitions are authentic and have a supernatural character. I therefore approve, officially, that the site
Sesungguhnya gambar-gambar seperti ini jarang dilihat dan sukar untuk dipercayai… bagi yg percaya atau tidak itu terpulang kepada diri kita sendiri…
tetapi bagi saya, kerpercayaan itu memang ada sebab telah menyaksikan sendiri gambar Salib tersebut (di Ulu patikang dan di Kg Maksak)
Tetapi apa yg menyedihkan, melihat semua umat yg ada di tempat tersebut masing-masing membawa alat digital (handphone, digital camera, etc..) dan MASING-MASING MENGAKU, bahawa gambar-gambar tersebut (seperti dalam gambar di atas) telah diambil oleh mereka sendiri, menyebabkan kesangsian yg ketara. Persoalannya siapakan yang benar-benar mengambil gambar tersebut dan kita umat Kristian harus ingat bahawa menipu itu satu dosa besar.
Puji Tuhan, mungkin kejadian seperti ini memberi kita Kesedaran akan pentingnya untuk kita Berdoa dan mengingati Tuhan.
saya memuji anda…tiada seorang pun yang datang membawa bibble dan berdoa…walaupun ada priest yang berkata jangan terlalu percaya dengan apa yang anda lihat,kerana ia mungkin buatan manusia,pada saya sepatutnya seorang paderi datang menyaksikannya dahulu abru lah ia menilainya sendiri…patutkah seorang paderi berkata bahawa ia mungkin jelmaan syaitan(lucifer) yang menyerupai bonda maria dan jesus?bagi saya adalah tidak patut seorang paderi berkata demikian…dan paderi itu berkata bahawa syaitan ingin menjelma sedemikian kerana caranya untuk mendekati manusia…tiada yang berkuasa selain tuhan..amen.. kepada paderi yang berkata sedemikian datang dan saksikan lah ia sendiri…
Why must that ‘virgin mary’ is so important? Christ is more important la… This mary is not saint. No human being is sinless. It has been always the devil who loves to confuse us. He wants us to believe that Mary is more important that Jesus. If it is really from God, why must IT go on top of a coconut tree and not in a much better location? Or why doesn’t IT interact with human beings? If God has a message, He will do it in a much decent way. I think if He has a important message, He will send His angels to do so and not a shadow stuck on top of a palm tree.
Definitely you are not Roman Catholics..
Well of course Jesus is the most important in Christianity. He is our Saviour. But there are reasons why Virgin Mary is important.
So deep to dig…
People will see what they want to see. I’ve spotten big macs before so does that mean i should worship ronald mc donalds?
A man will hold on to a blade of grass to save himself from drowning. Are you so uncertain of your faith that you would go round looking at coconut leaves to see if you could spot a cross to convince youself that you’ve picked the right religion?
Sometimes or many times we expect things to happen the way we want them to be but just like when Jesus was born, no one expected him to be born in a manger or in a very humiliating way, what more to go through a cruel crucifixion. We shouldn’t wait for strange or beautiful miracles to happen in order to believe and repent. We’d better do so while there is still time and by looking at the natural miracles that happen everyday. As for the phenomenon which happened in Keningau, blessed be God. Mother Mary pray for us.
mr.pungit,it doesn’t matter where he appear..or when he appear..the most important thing is he appear in your heart ..then you will believe it..you said “why he appear at coconut(palm)tree?” the answer is “why do we have palm prayer every year?” the holly virgin mary is important to us even jesus worship her and love her,she is our mother the holly mother..if you’re a god where do you want to appear?why?actually he does appear at lot’s of places and i will send some of the picture..
Miracles happen everyday… it depends how you see and what you believe in what you see and how u interpret it… WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) – Apparitions or not – consider it as Beautiful Wonders from God… Just be glad that you wake up every morning and you can still see the sunshine… so be thankful to the Creator of Heaven and Earth… it sure does challenge every aspect of human life for the believer or non believer… it should strenghten the faith of the believers and perhaps change the views of the non believers or is there always a scientific explaination for the scepticals? Science can only be proven when visible and valid so… are these requirements enough or need further experiments to verify all claims… Nothing can satisfy one’s heart ..Think deep and it all comes to ONE… everyone need GOD….
Actually, I visited the place on the 11th and 12th. So the apparition that the villagers said to have seen was on the 11th.
Doesn’t make a difference though, just making it clear.
salam damai dalam nama Yesus Kristus..saya rasakan apa yang terjadi di keningau ini adalah salah satunya.Tuhan yesus ingin memberi kesaksiaan akan kewujudannya benar-benar ada disebabkan masih ada lagi orang yang masih tidak percaya akan kewujudannya.Maka dengan itu bertobatlah bagi mereka yang tidak percaya!!!
hmm, no hard feelings…. but scientifically, it might just a coincidence. People always believe what they want to believe, people see what they want to see… I believe the cure of her husband was a miracle, but it definately got nothing to do with what she saw on the tree leaf.
When someone said it was a cross, then u will believe it was, and find the cross image according to what is in your mind on the tree leaf.
Believe in God or not, it depends on individual, as long as they are free from sins. Will God punish those who not believe in Him but have a pure heart, rather than those believe in Him but full of sins (those who go go to church every week to repent)?

Maria sangat penting dan memainkan peranan yang besar didalam geraja.Tanpanya , Yesus tidak lahir, Dia juga adalah perawan tanpa dosa.Kalau Maria ada dosa,bererti Tuhan Yesus yang lahir juga berdosa kerana dia diambil 100% daripada daging Bonda Maria.Maria dikandung tanpa dosa adalah selepas Sabda menjadi daging didalam dirinya dengan perkataan Malaikat itu.
Cuba kita lihat dengan teliti.Semua gambar yang tertera itu adalah dalam posisi sedang berdoa atau mempersembahkan sesuatu … apa ertinya ? Bonda Maria sedang berdoa untuk 2 orang boy itu dan kita yang telah melihatnya, harus menjadikan dia (Maria) sebagai contoh bahawa kita berdoa untuk orang yang kita sayangi dengan perantaraan seseorang.
Kita asyik mengambil gambar,untuk dijadikan kenangan ? Untuk dijual ? Untuk diberikan kepada orang tersayang ? Untuk memperlihatkan sesuatu yang luar biasa ? atau untuk apa ? Apakah ertinya semuanya ini ?
2 boys berdoa untuk Bonda Maria dan inilah tandanya bagi mereka yang percaya bahawa mereka sedang didoakan oleh seseorang .Tanggapan saya secara rohaniah, lihat dengan jelas, pernahkah kita melihat cahaya dari syurga ? saya rasa ini baru bayang-bayangnya sahaja.Kalau benar-benar dapat melihat cahayanya,saya pasti semua yang datang di tempat tersebut akan buta .
WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) is everyday , setiap saat.Tapi kalau kita yang dah tahu hal ini, tak menjadi masalah kepada penampakan seperti ini dan membuatkan kita semakin bersemangat untuk berdoa.Kalau mereka yang selalu kuat mengomen sana dan sini dan tidak melihat dengan mata rohani , tentu bila melihat penampakan tersebut, saya pasti bahawa komen itu tidak akan pernah berakhir dan we have nothing. What you see is what ou Lost (WYSIWYL)
Kenapa penampakan di atas daun kelapa ? Ini kan satu simbol tentang palma ? Dan ianya adalah satu simbol penderitaan.Siapa yang menderita saat ini saat kita melihat gambar Bonda Maria ? Kalau tidak ditahan oleh doa-doa Bonda Maria yang sangat dekat dengan Syurga, bumi ini sudah dihancurkan kerana dunia ini dengan sioknya .. berpesta!!!!
Mesej tidak dapat disampaikan dengan jelas, ini membuktikan supaya sesiapa yang dapat melihat dan mengambil gambarnya,kenalah pandai menilai dengan mata rohani sendiri secara peribadi .. dia tidak akan bagi mesej dengan jelas melalui perkataan dalam masa yang singkat seperti itu selagi yang datang hanya mengambil gambar dan bawa pulang …
Terpulang kepada kita sendiri untuk menilainya kerana kita tidak dapat menyelamatkan orang lain , kenalah kita selamatkan diri sendiri dulu sebelum menyelamatkan orang lain… Baiklah.Sekian untuk hari ini..
Tuhan memberkati kita semua..AMIN!

Comment from Mj
hehe – funny la u – taman u.
Is this to be believed? Can experts substantiate the apparition? Monsignor have told us not to blindly believe what we see. Why havn’t this phenomena reached the Vatican for proper records?
==========================================================
Hi Mj,
you better prefer the law of Malaysia.its imporsibble POPE going to Malaysia … i think they just stand up to hold their position to forbid him (POPE) to see what was happend at Ulu Patikang.Do you believe that pope can enter in Malaysia ? i think you should going to sleep and have a big dream …. or you have faith to say that words ? Congratulations ! we will wait you prayer with us : )
=======================================================
AKU MARIA BUNDAMU merasa sedih dan duka melihat penderitaan manusia. Kirimkan kepada 9 orang dan esok anda akan menerima berita baik. Pesanan dari Pope m s 6-1. Kemunculan salip di daun kelapa di Kg Patikang dan di Kg Masak Keningau.
=========================================================
Kadang-kadang orang akan ambil kesempatan untuk berbuat sesuatu yang tidak masuk akal.Cuba buang perkataan “KIRIMKAN KEPADA 9 ORANG DAN ESOK ANDA AKAN MENERIMA BERITA BAIK” sebab perkataan ini sebenarnya tidak pernah wujud didalam mesej Bonda Maria.
Ini adalah perkataan manusia.Dan mereka sengaja menyampaikan ini untuk kepentingan diri mereka sendiri.Dan ini memang satu penghinaan .Saya menerima sms ini juga beberapa bulan yang lalu dan sekarang timbul lagi.Bila dikaji-kaji,ianya berasal daripada agama lain (protestant).
Maafkan saya kerana menyebut perkataan protestant.Jadi, orang yang menyebarkan ini akan bertanggungjawab terhadap semua perbuatannya pada akhir zaman dan hanya Tuhan dan dia sahaja.We cannot condemn this people because we just people too.

Dear Brothers & Sisters in Christ,
Please visit http://kkdiocese.net, you can read the Catholic standing regarding this through the special pastoral letter from our Bishop Cornelius Piong.
It is more than appropriate to read this and to know what the Church has to say rather than to make our own conclusion. This way we won’t end up doing false worship or we could be seen as people with shallow faith as what Bishop said in his letter.
Please be reminded that St. Paul has reminded the faithful in Corinth on deception and false apostles, “for Satan himself masquerade as angel of light..” (2 Cor 11:3, 14). (Frm Bishop Conerlius letter)
In Jesus and Mary,
Rose
Nah,ngam laitu.That is true.
Tompinai,
Apapun ia….tak salah di rumah di mana saja kita berada…alwyz pray pada Jesus Kristus dan Ratu Bunda Kita…di mana ada kemahuan di situ ada Tuhan.
Amen.
Saya sudah dapat banyak gambar dari orang orang yang ada mengambil gambar,terima kasih kerana sudi memperkongsikan kepada saya sebab saya sendiri tiada kesempatan,tetapi apabila meneliti kesemua gambar itu saya dapati ada separuh gambar yang kena buat buat.Saya tunggu yang video clip mungkin baru saya percaya.Kamu buat lah dalam bentuk vcd baru saya minta,itu pun bukan saya minta percuma,saya beli juga bah.
Videoklip yg saya ada cuma yg saya letakkan dlm blog post ini. Dlm blog mrbadak.com, seorang yg bernama Elizabeth Luan beritahu bahawa dia telah ambil video testimony org yg first nampak (mereka bukan Kristian), dan bagaimana mereka masuk Kristian lepas tu.
hmmm.. that palm tree deserved to be worshipped, may be. Well I don’t have to say this but it is already happening. Candles are being burnt.. coins are being tossed. Eventually it will be considered as sacred. Many hopeful christians come to the palm tree for miracle. Bishop Cornelius Piong is correct to caution catholics to be careful into accepting and believing phenomenan like this. The devil is much smarter than what we think he is. He is roaming around to see if you and me can be his next meal.
Hem,that is true bah,just one thing….those who people in anti-catholic is being abused the miracle and use it as a chain sms and etc.That is very terrible for sms receiver and nobody was responsibility for these issue.
i got sms like this ”
If you dont pass to 9 people and you will getting disaster this night”
And i reply ” you abused of what you see and what you dont see.There is NO disasters when we live in Jesus.Ulu Patikang Is Over!!”
And i am so said when some people don;t want to see of what God has shown to them ”
God bless us ….
HERAN…..
setelah apa yang telah saya baca, dengar, melayari blog ini adalah sukar bagi saya untuk mengatakan benar ataupun tidak, kerna bagi saya bila mana seseorang itu dapat merasakan sentuhan tuhan mahupun mengalaminya dengan cara peribadi, mahupun luar biasa, hanya dia sahaja yang tahu akan kewujudan dan kebenarannya. Namun kadanga-kala seseorang yang mengalaminya dan berkongsi kepada orang lain, tidak semua dapat menerimanya kerna tidak semua orang mengerti, mengalami, melihat, merasakan kehadirannya mahupun menentukan kebenarannya. Maksudnya tiada siapa harus dipersalahkan.
Saya juga telah menerima sms yang mengatakan “Jika tidak dihantar anda akan ditimpa malang selama 9 tahun” waduh sungguh mengecawakan ada diantara mereka mempersendakan Bonda Maria. Ada pula yang mengatakan bulatan besar (Tubuh Kristus) itu adalah gumpulan muka-muka hantu (Pendosa) yang terperangkap apabila gambar tersebut dibesarkan.
Pesanan Bishop Cornelius Piong. sememang ada kebenarannya juga, melainkan Yesus Kristus mahupun Bonda Maria sendiri datang dengan cara peribadi untuk mendapatkan mengesahannya (Paderi itu sendiri mengalaminya), Tapi siapalah kita manusia biasa untuk mengesahkannya. Tapi persoalannya jika Yesus Kristus dan Bonda Maria itu muncul di Gereja dan ditempat-tempat kudus apa pula jawapannya?
Mengapa di kawasan perkampungan?
Pada pandangan saya, kawasan perkampungan adalah tempat yang sesuai sekali kerna jauh daripada kesibukkan, orang katakan …………. tapi kemunculannya membuat tanda tanya yang sukar dijawab. Dan tidak semestinya diGeraja ataupun tempat-tempat suci. Sungguh pun ia tempat suci, kita jangan lupa untuk memelihara kesuciannya.
MENGALAMI MIMPI YANG PENUH MISTERI.
Disini saya ingin berkongsi pengalaman bagaimana saya sendiri tidak tahu jawapannya sampailah sekarang, MIMPI……….. sewaktu usia 14 tahun bersekolah di St. John saya termimpi Yesus bersama rasulnya, meraka begitu asyik membahagikan roti-roti kepada orang-orang kampung, terasa heran, takut dan mustahil dengan mata kepala saya sendiri melihat segala pergerakan dan apa yang telah dilakukan. Lalu ia memanggil saya dengan lembayan tangan, senyuman yang penuh kemesraan dan seoleh-olah dia tidak perlu mangatakan yang Aku mengasihi mu, cukup dengan senyuman kasihnya yang tidak dapat saya ungkapkan.
Setelah menuju kearah Yesus, salam kasih disambutnya, disana saya menyentuh tapak tangan Yesus yang besar dan gambaran bentuk badan fizikal yang besar, berjubah merah dan putih bersama rasul-rasulnya. Kemudiaan dia memberi petunjuk mengarah melihat ke langit yang biru, burung-burung berterbangan dengan bunyi-bunyian yang penuh suka cita, sambil melihat orang-orang kampung duduk memakan roti dan ada pula diantara mereka mendaki kaki bukit.
Tidak lama kemudian, Yesus berkata-kata kepada saya, namun sukar untuk saya mengerti, apa yang saya mengerti dia menunjuk tangannya kearah langit. Perasaan suka cita menjadi takut dan saya sedari Yesus tidak berada disisi saya. Seolah-olah saya mendengar suara, lihat ke arah langit dari kebiru-biruan bertukar kelabu seakan-akan berlaku ribut petir, diatas langit saya melihat wajah Yesus yang tersenyum bertukar sedih.
Perasaan takut semakin menjadi bila ternampak kuda berjubah hitam bersama penunggangnya, malaikat di setiap penjuru bumi seakan-akan mereka menunggu arahan. Matahari tidak kelihatan langsung dimuka bumi, apa yang saya lihat Bulan menjadi bulan sabit merah (Berdarah) dan ada sesuatu benda batu yang besar berapi mengarah bumi, salah seorang malaikat menjatuhkan air dari pemegangnya, laut menjadi merah segala hidupan laut mati terapung-apung dan dipenuhi darah merah, seorang malaikat pula menjatuhkan air ke bumi, berlaku gegaran bumi yang kuat dan macam-macam lagi say saksikan, Malaikat yang satu lagi menjatuhkan air dari pemegangnya, saya melihat pelbagai sakit penyakit yang tidak ada jawapannya, Malaikat yang terakhir pula menjatuhkan air dari pemegangnya, Perang yang dahsyat berlaku di depan mata saya seolah-oleh tidak ada lagi keamanan sesama manusia.
Perasaan takut membuatkan saya terjaga dari tidur menunjukan masa jam 3 pagi, mimpi tersebut membuatkan saya terjaga dari tidur sampailah pergi dan balik kesekolah. Hari sebelum jam 3.30 petang saya terdengar suara yang mengatakan segala jawapan itu akan terjawab didalam kitab. Lalu saya mencari alkitab saya dan mencari jawapan yang ada didalamnya.
sungguh hari ini, segala apa yang berlaku dibumi, sukar untuk saya melupakan peristiwa tersebut, seakan-akan segala sesuatu itu hidup dan benar.
TERHIDU BUNGA ROS.
Pengalaman yang sukar dilupakan, sewaktu berdoa rosary bersama rakan-rakan, setiap doa yang di sebut diucapkan dengan penuh keinsafan, pertobatan dan berserah kepada Tuhan. Apa yang menghairankan rumah ditempat berkumpul dan bersama-sama berdoa, dihujani bau Ros yang sungguh nyaman, penuh kasih. Membuatkan air mata kegembiraan mengalir yang tidak ada henti-henti dan terdiam seketika, dalam hati kecil darimana datangnya bau rose itu, sedangkan disekeliling rumah tidak di tanam bunga rose.
REBAH.
Kejadian yang aneh, berdoa rosary menjadi kekuatan rohani dan peribadi, pada suatu hari………….. semasa berdoa bersama rakan-rakan ada diantara kami rebah dan termasuk saya sendiri, seolah-oleh tangan, kaki, badan dan kepala merasakan penderitaan dan penyeksaan Kristus. Air mata terus mengalir dan saya tidak mampu bercakap, sampailah kesakitan itu hilang. Rakan saya yang melihat kejadian itu menceritakan apa yang terjadi, namun kami sendiri tidak tahu apa harus dijawab. Apa yang saya tahu, sebelum saya jatuh rebah dan mengalaminnya terdengar suara yang mengatakan Bersiap sedialah merasakan penderiaan Yesus memikul dosa-dosa manusia kemudian rebahlah saya seolah-olah memikul salib yang besar yang tidak mungkin manusia seperti saya memikulnya sendiri.
Nah… apa yang saya ceritakan dan kongsikan, bukan rekaan semata-mata untuk mencari publisiti, tetapi terpulanglah kepada mereka yang membaca dan menilainya, bahawa setiap orang punya pengalaman mahupun sentuhan bersama Tuhan sukar untuk dijawab sampailah kehari ini. Sebenarnya, segala pengalaman ini saya pendamkan dalam hati, takut untuk menceritakannya. Tapi… ada sesuatu yang mendorong untuk saya ceritakan. Amen
MELIHAT?
Emmm…. ramai diantara kita datang dan pergi hanya untuk melihat sepertimana orang katakan, ada yang datang dengan penuh harapan apa yang dilihat adalah benar, ada pula yang datang untuk memohon tuhan menjawab doanya, ada yang datang mencari kehidupan yang sebenar, ada yang datang untuk bersuka-suka dan balik kosong dada tanpa rasa pertobatan, ada pula datang hanya untuk bermain wayang yang dia sudah ketempat tersebut gambar bukan main banyak lagi. Jawapannya ada dalam hati kita sendiri jika punya iman.
Seseorang memperlihatkan saya gambar-gambar yang yang diambil di Ulu Petikang. Gambar itu memang ada imej Bonda Maria tetapi bila diteliti dengan betul-betul nampak macam ada mata besar di sebalik daun pokok kelapa itu(gambar itu masih lagi dalam peti simpanan hp saya). Ia menyerupai kucing yang bermata besar dan menakutkan , manakala gambar yang satu lagi ada imej gambar Bonda Maria tetapi ada juga imej syaitan disebelahnya. Bulu roma saya meremang. Ketika itu saya keliru apalagi bila mendengar orang-orang di sekeling bercakap yang kononnya itu hanyalah kepandaian orang-orang di sana. No wonderlah ada muka syaitan di gambar.Pun begitu saya mempertahankan bahawa biar apa sekalipun yang telah wujud di sana hanya satu yang kita perlu buat iaitu berdoa dan insaf akan segala dosa-dosa kita kepada Tuhan melalui Jusus Kristus juruselamat kita. Di luar sana banyak lagi suara-suara sumbang yang amat menyakitkan. Namun setelah saya meneliti gambar yang ada di sini , saya mendapati bahawa imej syaitan itu tidak ada pula di sini walaupun gambar itu sama. Saya percaya pada Mansiat Tinambak bahawa ada gambar yang dibuat-buat, mungkin gambar yang saya dapat melalui mms itu adalah dibuat-buat. Dan saya percaya walaupun saya tidak berpeluang melihat dengan mata kepala sendiri peristiwa salip di pokok kelapa itu. Bonda Maria ada mesej yang ingin disampaikan kepada umat manusia.
Saya dah temui dan melakukan sedikit research yang amat baik pada hari ini.Salah satu Injil yang hampir sama dengan ajaran yang Yesus berikan ialah terdapat pada Islam Hadhari ialah wajaih Islam yang sebenar.Saya amat tertarik dengan ajarannya.Ia ada nilai-nilai injil yang unik .
Dan saya amat setuju dengan Perdana Menteri Kita Abdullah bila dia berkata seperti ini ”
MOSCOW 20 Jun – Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi menggesa dunia menggerakkan dua langkah penyelesaian bagi menangani jurang antara Islam dan Barat iaitu menerusi penerapan Islam Hadhari di kalangan umat Islam dan dialog peradaban yang aktif di semua peringkat.
Perdana Menteri yakin melalui pendekatan itu salah tanggapan dan prejudis Barat terhadap Islam boleh diperbetulkan sementara kekecewaan umat Islam terhadap ketidakadilan Barat, akan terpadam.
Menurut beliau, jurang itu akan diburukkan lagi dengan prejudis dan kebencian yang menebal dan selagi dunia tidak menumpukan kepada usaha mencari penyelesaian.
Abdullah menarik perhatian bahawa konflik antara Islam dan Barat mula dikaitkan dengan dimensi agama hanya selepas perang ke atas keganasan dilancarkan dengan meletakkan kesalahan kepada Islam kononnya menyokong keganasan.
Di Eropah, katanya, semakin menebal rasa tidak percaya kepada umat Islam, yang dilihat sebagai pihak asing malah sebagai musuh dalaman.
‘‘Umat Islam pula melihat rakan mereka di Eropah sebagai tidak bermoral dan pentingkan diri. Perubahan pada sikap dan persepsi di kedua-dua pihak, adalah amat perlu,” katanya.
Beliau menyatakan demikian ketika menyampaikan ucap tama selepas menerima anugerah Ijazah Doktor Kehormat Causa (Honoris Causa) daripada Moscow Institute of International Relations di universiti itu di sini, hari ini.
Ucap utama itu bertajuk Mempersembahkan Wajah Islam yang Sebenar kepada Dunia.
Sehubungan itu, Perdana Menteri berkata, Malaysia menawarkan pendekatan Islam Hadhari kepada masyarakat antarabangsa sebagai satu lagi sumbangan ke arah memahami Islam daripada semua sudut.
Katanya, Malaysia sedang menerapkan Islam Hadhari atau Islam yang beradaban di kalangan rakyatnya yang pelbagai agama dan menjadikan Islam itu sebagai faktor penyatuan, bukannya perpecahan.
Perdana Menteri menambah, penerapan Islam Hadhari adalah pendekatan terbaik berteraskan toleransi, progresif dan cintakan keamanan demi kesejahteraan kepada umat Islam dan bukan Islam.
Katanya, di kalangan orang Islam, beliau menjelaskan Islam Hadhari bukanlah agama atau mazhab baru, ia adalah pendedahan dan pemaparan Islam yang sebenar.
‘‘Kita sedia menawarkan pengalaman Malaysia untuk dikaji oleh pihak lain,” katanya.
Abdullah turut menarik perhatian kepada perlunya dialog peradaban dan kebudayaan di semua peringkat dalam masyarakat antarabangsa.
Katanya, dialog tersebut perlu mendapat sokongan di peringkat kerajaan.
Beliau berkata, Malaysia percaya dialog itu yang merupakan cara berkesan merapatkan jurang adalah wadah terbaik berasaskan proses multilateralisme, bukannya menggunakan kuasa ke atas pihak yang lemah atas percaturan politik, strategik dan penguasaan wilayah.
Itulah yang berlaku di Afghanistan, Iraq, Lebanon, Bukit Golan selain ketidakadilan dan penindasan ke atas rakyat Palestin, jelas beliau lagi.
‘‘Pilihan adalah pada kita. Saya harap masyarakat antarabangsa akan membuat pilihan yang betul sebelum kesempatan itu sudah tiada lagi sampai bila-bila,” tegas beliau.
Terdahulu, Rektor Moscow State Institute of International Relations, Anatoly V. Torkunov menyatakan penghargaan ke atas Abdullah kerana mempromosikan keamanan sejagat menerusi pendekatan Islam Hadhari.
Penganugerahan ijazah doktor kehormat kepada Abdullah hari ini adalah sebagai menghargai sumbangan beliau dalam dunia diplomatik antarabangsa.
– Utusan
P/S: Dalam dunia ini kita kena bertoleransi dengan cara ini tapi 40% penduduk di Malaysia tidak menerima Islam Hadhari .Dan kebanyakkan nya yang tidak setuju dengan dengan ialah yang ada “PAS” tu.Asalkan yang ada PAS.
Saya tidak mukjizat yang saya lalui sepanjang hidup ini.Cuba satu,saya tercium bau tahi sahaja bila anjing birak di tengah jalan.Celaka butul !! Hahahaha…
Penampakan kelapa bersalip di Ulu Patikang bukan saja memberi mesej yang sangat baik kepada pengunjung orang kristian dari segi agama,tetapi yang paling ketara ialah ia memberi faedah atau keuntungan besar kepada semua lapisan peniaga di kendingau yang terdiri dari berbagai kaum dan agama.Hotel penginapan semua penuh,gerai gerai makan banyak keuntungan,penjual makanan pasar malam semua laris dan banyak lagi. Penampakan kelapa bersalip itu sangat sesuai dengan tajuk TH2007 TAHUN MELAWAT MALAYSIA dan pekan Kendingau adalah salah satu tempat pilihan.
Jangan pula ada orang komen yang peniaga peniaga di sini mengambil kesempatan tapi biarlah kita kongsikan keistimewaan ini.
The truth is….they still automatically take an advantages….
god bless you all…
God bless me too , Hehehehe.
[...] you gotta see the photos on Chronicles on the apparition of the Virgin Mary in Sabah. Also read the news on New Sabah Times. If I see this [...]
An interesting event to indicate that Sabah and the world must be ruled by and with Jesus. Praise God in Christ.

“And we know that all things

In the public hospital of Itaguaí (RJ) last weekend
was born a girl with hands joined together, like one
who’s praying.
The doctors told the parents that they would operate
the hands of that girl, and that they would give her
antistatic. The operation was easy because it seemed
like the hands were simple glued together one membrane
(skin) layer apart.
When they opened up the hand of that child, you can’t
imagine what was written…
JES U S IS COMING BACK… The doctors started weeping and
all that were in the hospital.
The suburb of Itaguaí is undergoing a movement now,
People that have withdrawn from church are going back
and others are receiving Jesus Christ as the only
savior.
God send that child simply to convey that message.
After a few hours she died: JES U S IS COMING BACK
I have received now I’m passing on!!!
The Lord of Lords is coming back.
“Seek you the LORD while HE may be found, call you
upon Him while He is near:” Isaiah 55:6
Send this to everyone in your address book, if you
have different e-mail accounts send it to all
recipients in all your mail account. Don’t be too
preoccupied with work. This is important.
This is the timely response….
Jesus is back for His Kingdom… Amen.
JESUS IS COMING BACK according to an email titled “Time is up!!!!!” (p4)
Surprisingly, I was thinking when I saw the same title of two emails I received at the same time, that I have intention to start a political group with the initial UP. So time is for UP to takeover Sabah.
Actually when I opened the attachment, I read of the wonderful end time story of the world and not the earth.
The message of “Jesus is coming back” has different interpretations according to the Bible. Is time really up? Up for what? Is it the end of the earth or the world?
If you ask the Bible teachers, they may tell us that is NOT the end yet as we have NOT reached that stage yet according to the book of Revelation. When was the last trumpet that was sounded?
So it is more like the end of the world in its worldly system presently allowed by God to be controlled by Satan in its deception aplenty. The Bible also tells us that Jesus would reign with us for a thousand years. So are genuine Christians prepared to reign with Jesus Christ on earth for a moment when most Christians want to avoid real politics blaming others and the fake leaders as dirty in the nasty political systems so often with ugly manifestations.
Without a doubt Jesus in the spirit is always with us on earth and it is us who do not recognse Him. It is funny that there is a song “Every one wants to rule the world” and with the turn of the millennium a powerful group of 1.3 billions really applied its intention to rule the world but God in Christ forbids that hence a terrible failure resulting in a backlash self created with the consequences of suicide bombers to destroy the only things that God treasure and that is the LIFE in human body started with the first Adam in the Garden of Eden. Yet these terrorists would call that a divine mission to destroy God’s creation in the name of Allah. God also tells us in the Bible that a house divided within would not be sustained. If Allah and God are exchangeable as so often used by some pseudo politico-religious groups, then that is exactly a person or house divided within.
If you don’t believe that Jesus Christ is already here all the time as He is the living God, I don’t blame you because Jesus did say that not many would know his presence. He is having a back seat to see how our Governments which proclaim themselves as righteous and just via whatever systems like democracy or dictatorship or socialist or communist or theocracy how they actually perform to bring real holy and natural justice for all on earth.
So when Jesus is coming back, it can mean that he is physically back like what he did when he went into Jerusalem Temple – the Temple of the City of God and took actions against those who had desecrated the Holy Temple with great wrath.
So when Jesus is coming back, it is time up for those failed Governments of the world that have brought so much degradation and rottenness to the earth and people created by God for our enjoyment as it was in the Garden of Eden. Do we want to respect Jesus Christ? Can we stop Jesus Christ doing what he wants to do when He is back? We are obvious incapable to handle the return of Jesus Christ as this was seen in the little girl dying within hours after the surgery of the pair of praying hand to expose the holy message of “Jesus is coming back” which had sort of conviction of sin in us by the unusual outburst of cries and tears uncontrollable so much so that the doctors and the hospital staff plus the mother of the child could not
1
realise that they had neglected the child. The child must have to be attended to with
special treatment and this is likened to Jesus Christ coming back and we do not know how to handle such sudden scenario unless we are prepared in the body, mind, emotion, soul and spirit to welcome Jesus Christ back on earth as well as into our hearts. No more superficial attitude is acceptable – you either have Jesus Christ in your hearts or you don’t have. So start working in that area by praying hard. Those stubborn people who want to stick to their own understanding of their own holy books may perish as it is endtimes for them not qualify to reign with Jesus Christ.
Actually there have been great expectation of Jesus return at the turn of the new millennium but not to be as delayed anu longer by our own disbelief in earth.
So in 2007, there had been much speculations of many changes in political and social leaders throughout the world. Would such expectations be coming true? At the mid year, how many leaders have already lost power? Even Tony Blair has to crawl out of power suddenly in 2007 after a delay of earlier promise to do so. The world bank chairman is sacked suddenly. The Real Madrid’s coach is sacked despite winning the much coveted trophy in 2007 in Spain. Japan may see a change of the Prime Minister. Such changes may be irrelevant as far as Jesus Christ is concerned.
Some of the powerful nations and leaders had been talking since World War 2 about the new world order but this order is still elusive as much deception is involved.
You may not want to believe this about the unusual event on 11th September 2001 on the twin tower in New York which had led me to write a book “Fire” with a verse as “As when fire sets twigs ablaze and cause water to boil, come down to make your name known to your enemies and cause the nations to quake before you.” Isaiah 64: 2. The fire did reveal the enemies but the grandiose plan of the enemies failed miserably. So this was the end of the people who had been ruling in many new countries established after the second world war. There was sort of a powerful group of theocracy called OIC but never such a Christian group organised as such although many countries are accused of being run by Christians also known as western powers. Despite the massive wealth of the OIC, we have also seen the weakness of that group when handling the worldly affairs. Bible says all authorities on earth come from God but what we see are at variance with much suffering for most people including those socalled leaders.
God is good and right as all groups had been allowed to govern their countries as God promised Abraham to Isaac and Ishmael. But such privileges have been abused for a long time as governments have deviated from the original concept of genuine governing. We have seen from the Bible how Kings had reigned, how some Kings were replaced by Judges, and now we have Presidents and Prime Ministers with or without ceremonial kings.
So when Jesus Christ then came back two thousands years ago, every one had great expectation he was to be new King of justice to reign the world as he was considered God the Son. But his purpose was fulfilled in thirty three years. Nobody was wrong, and God is right as God rules us without a physical presence as God is omniscience, omnipresence and omnipotence. So again today we witness the weaknesses and some total failures of many Governments. So it is time that the worldly systems on earth must end and only Jesus Christ can do that to give us a new beginning.
2
So be prepared to reign with Jesus Christ truly in that perfect sense. The earth had a perfect order at the beginning but that perfect order had been interpretated in various ways over time. Then recently there was a mission of a new world order and how that would be put in place we do not know.
But suddenly I was inspired by God in Christ to write a little book titled “New Wealth Order”. We all know that the Governments and the people are still feudalistic and land based. We may have what ever political and social systems but we know the world is faced with great wealth disparities so much so that a third of the world people live under one us dollars each daily while the world also boasts of a few hundred billionaires and a few millions of millionaires. So we are in need of a new wealth order for all inhabitants of the earth and only Jesus Christ can steer us into that kind of natural justice. Is that any surprise that the world’s two richest men have been very much involved in charities with one of them giving up most of his wealth to a public trustee foundation? So we need more charitable devotion from more billionaires and nations on earth. So it is now timely for Jesus Christ to make that happen as He had inspired my writing of my first book “New Wealth Order” on 4th July 1999 and finally published on 11th September 2001.
If this is not anarchy of sort, I do not know what. The world’s nations has been engaged in very costly wars and conflicts disposing of the trillions of dollars and yet we find ourselves unable to feed the world’s people properly with quality foods.
So we have seen how the Governments of whatever persuasions of the world have performed but one thing is commonly noticed is this “the threat of anarchy needs to be addressed quickly to stamp out organized crime, money laundering and corruption and to prevent the spread of drug use that could cause havoc across all continents already plagued by many other tragedies”. We need Jesus to help us here.
Many with burden for a better world on earth have been praying very hard throughout all those recent global intercessional events of prayers warriors in Christ for this expected return to be possible. Praise God for his Word would not return to us void.
I am sure the latest message of “Jesus Christ is coming back” has a variety of purposes – personal and otherwise. Jesus Christ has to touch each and everyone of us in our lives so that the earth can be a better place for all. Even with a new earth and new heaven, it is futile if the people maintain the old stance. So it is symbolic that the Governments of the nations must be led by people who believe Jesus Christ is the crux of all things. It is no coincidence that I receive the same message from two persons – one a long time medical doctor friend (G. James) of two decades and a retired banker (Joseph F) who only got in touch with me a couple of days earlier. Both persons have expressed great political concern for the welfare of Sabah and about the next General Elections. Together with Joshua K, it is 3 J. So if the successive State Governments in Sabah dominated by federalism and theocracy, have failed us in 44 years, then it is timely that Jesus Christ must reign in Sabah Borneo (I written several times before). Then how would he reigns in Sabah? Isn’t it through his people who have strong spiritual conviction that Jesus Christ as God and Son of God can make a significant difference in Sabah and other nations on earth. The message from Richard SG titled “The time is UP”. When I saw that the first impression in my mind was that the much rumoured General Elections is here. Richard is about the richness of Jesus Christ in all aspects and wealth and SG can mean Sabah Government.
3
So I call once again that convicted Christians to be prepared to reign with Jesus Christ for the good of all for a new beginning. People have been urging me to join this and that party and not to be a lone ranger but I cannot do that except to join DAP for a few months. It was for a religious issue that I had to leave that set up. So I am very encouraged by the latest message of “Jesus Christ is coming back” for you and me for all purposes to transform our lives in real politics.
We also are fully aware that Jesus Christ is coming back for our salvation and well beings.
Thank God for this sharing with great joy in Christ.

RENUNGAN UNTUK ORANG KRISTIAN 1 YOHANES 5:1- 21.
Setiap orang yang percaya, bahwa Yesus adalah Kristus, lahir dari Allah; dan setiap orang yang mengasihi Dia yang melahirkan, mengasihi juga Dia yang lahir dari pada-Nya.
5:2 Inilah tandanya, bahwa kita mengasihi anak-anak Allah, yaitu apabila kita mengasihi Allah serta melakukan perintah-perintah-Nya.
5:3 Sebab inilah kasih kepada Allah, yaitu, bahwa kita menuruti perintah-perintah-Nya. Perintah-perintah-Nya itu tidak berat,
5:4 sebab semua yang lahir dari Allah, mengalahkan dunia. Dan inilah kemenangan yang mengalahkan dunia: iman kita.
5:5 Siapakah yang mengalahkan dunia, selain dari pada dia yang percaya, bahwa Yesus adalah Anak Allah?
5:6. Inilah Dia yang telah datang dengan air dan darah, yaitu Yesus Kristus, bukan saja dengan air, tetapi dengan air dan dengan darah. Dan Rohlah yang memberi kesaksian, karena Roh adalah kebenaran.
5:7 Sebab ada tiga yang memberi kesaksian (di dalam sorga: Bapa, Firman dan Roh Kudus; dan ketiganya adalah satu.
5:8 Dan ada tiga yang memberi kesaksian di bumi): Roh dan air dan darah dan ketiganya adalah satu.
5:9 Kita menerima kesaksian manusia, tetapi kesaksian Allah lebih kuat. Sebab demikianlah kesaksian yang diberikan Allah tentang Anak-Nya.
5:10. Barangsiapa percaya kepada Anak Allah, ia mempunyai kesaksian itu di dalam dirinya; barangsiapa tidak percaya kepada Allah, ia membuat Dia menjadi pendusta, karena ia tidak percaya akan kesaksian yang diberikan Allah tentang Anak-Nya.
5:11 Dan inilah kesaksian itu: Allah telah mengaruniakan hidup yang kekal kepada kita dan hidup itu ada di dalam Anak-Nya.
5:12 Barangsiapa memiliki Anak, ia memiliki hidup; barangsiapa tidak memiliki Anak, ia tidak memiliki hidup.
5:13 Semuanya itu kutuliskan kepada kamu, supaya kamu yang percaya kepada nama Anak Allah, tahu, bahwa kamu memiliki hidup yang kekal.
5:14. Dan inilah keberanian percaya kita kepada-Nya, yaitu bahwa Ia mengabulkan doa kita, jikalau kita meminta sesuatu kepada-Nya menurut kehendak-Nya.
5:15 Dan jikalau kita tahu, bahwa Ia mengabulkan apa saja yang kita minta, maka kita juga tahu, bahwa kita telah memperoleh segala sesuatu yang telah kita minta kepada-Nya.
5:16 Kalau ada seorang melihat saudaranya berbuat dosa, yaitu dosa yang tidak mendatangkan maut, hendaklah ia berdoa kepada Allah dan Dia akan memberikan hidup kepadanya, yaitu mereka, yang berbuat dosa yang tidak mendatangkan maut. Ada dosa yang mendatangkan maut: tentang itu tidak kukatakan, bahwa ia harus berdoa.
5:17 Semua kejahatan adalah dosa, tetapi ada dosa yang tidak mendatangkan maut.
5:18. Kita tahu, bahwa setiap orang yang lahir dari Allah, tidak berbuat dosa; tetapi Dia yang lahir dari Allah melindunginya, dan si jahat tidak dapat menjamahnya.
5:19 Kita tahu, bahwa kita berasal dari Allah dan seluruh dunia berada di bawah kuasa si jahat.
5:20 Akan tetapi kita tahu, bahwa Anak Allah telah datang dan telah mengaruniakan pengertian kepada kita, supaya kita mengenal Yang Benar; dan kita ada di dalam Yang Benar, di dalam Anak-Nya Yesus Kristus. Dia adalah Allah yang benar dan hidup yang kekal.
5:21 Anak-anakku, waspadalah terhadap segala berhala.

Ia berlaku disebabkan oleh serangan sejenis penyakit ke atas daun-daun kelapa. Saya berani katakan yang hujung daun kelapa tersebut akan terputus pada garisan yang terbentuk sekarang. Ini berdasarkan pengalaman dan pengetahuan saya sendiri. Jika ada sesiapa yang ingin melihat kesan hebat serangan penyakit ini, saya boleh tunjukkan beberapa pokok di sekitar tempat tinggal saya.

interesting yet ridiculous
Interesting. Someone sent me an email about this incident last month but I never got the chance to read it ( I lied to that someone by saying I did read them ) not until my friend brought this topic up yesterday. Here are my random opinions.
I believe in God but I also secretly believe in science and psychological connection. What took place was just a natural phenomenan. The leaves appeared just as it is. Its original state.There’s no miracle. It’s a cross for you, because you want it to be a cross. If I want it to be an arrow, it does look like one and so if I want it to be a sword. It’s all in your head and how you view the subject depends on how your mind works and your interpretation on this subject is very much based on what you believe and your belief is.
See, I believe that the universe is made by God and that He can never be created or destroyed, always was and always has been, everything that ever existed is always exist, and always move in a form, out of form or through a form. But if I go to a physicist, they’ll tell me that the world is made of Energy. Energy too can never be created or destroyed, all ever was and always will be, everything that ever existed is always exist, and always move in a form, out of form or through a form. It’s the same description but different terminology.
What I’m trying to say here is that if we see it in a scientific ways or physics, when there’s an energy there are atoms. Particles move randomly forming somekind of atomic structures (patterns), the molecule, is the basic of nature. Pattern forms can and may be attracted by the energy you send. This I used and refered to the theory of the Law of Attraction where you attract the energy around you. For example, I visualize the image of Mother Mary in my head and I feel the presence in my heart, I am actually sending my energy to the universe thus attracting the positive energy around to achieve my visualisation. Therefore, thoughts become things. What you think, imagine or visualize, you will see. Some may say hallucination or an illusion. It’s psychologically connected. It’s all in your mind. This can also be refered to as pareidolia.
Whatever the mind of man can concieve, it can achive – W Clement Stone (1902-2002)
If I want to interpret it in a theological way, I can just refer to the bible just like everyone else did. Read verse on Matthew 24:27-30.
P/S i don’t see any image of Mother Mary kneeling and the other image dated on 10 June 2007 somehow doesn’t convince me.
Did the Bible mention anything about the revelation of Mother Mary? (err, i’m not sure where i’m leading this to). The Bible seemed to only mention about the revelation of the Son of Man. Oh, wait! I found one but was it Mary?
“Then a great and mysterious sight appeared in the sky. There was a woman, whose dress was the sun and who had the moon under her feet and a crown of twelve stars on her head.” (Revelation 12:1)
Anyways, the circular object which is said to be the “body of Christ” and a symbol from the Roman Empire period is absolutely absurd. If you say it’s a “body of Christ”, I can say it’s an ovary. For me it was just a moon. Even if it’s really a symbol from the Roman Empire, what symbol could it be? I can only think two items, 1) the ancient Roman Empire shield design and 2) the ancient Roman Empire coin design.
“patutkah seorang paderi berkata bahawa ia mungkin jelmaan syaitan(lucifer) yang menyerupai bonda maria dan jesus?bagi saya adalah tidak patut seorang paderi berkata demikian…dan paderi itu berkata bahawa syaitan ingin menjelma sedemikian kerana caranya untuk mendekati manusia…tiada yang berkuasa selain tuhan.” -by Bomb, 2007-06-13
In the Book of II Corinthians it was written:
“And no marvel; for satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.” ( 2 Corinthians 11:14)
Though it didn’t quite mention that Satan can transform into an image of Mary/Jesus. But to my understanding, Satan is a deceitful creature and because of this of course ‘it’ can transform ‘itself’ into whoever and whatever ‘it’ wants.
I’m just quite dissapointed to read about the believers, be it Catholics or Christians, having to witness all these started to light candles and pray TO the tree. Prolly because they feel blessed because it happened on a palm tree which signifies palm sunday therefore prayed to it. I supposed if these thing appeared on a donkey (Jesus rides on a donkey on palm sunday) you gonna pray to the donkey too? Without realizing they are actually converted their belief into animism. And I actually laughed at these.
i do not agree with you mr.bomb….the priest have the right to advice his people in such way.even in the bible we already warned that satan can appear in may ways to make sure the fall of human race.do know that the catholic church did not simply approve any “miracles” that happen without any investigation. remember my fellas….”seeing is not merely believing”…..
I believe!!! It is the end-times and it is written in prophecy that the Virgin Mary will more then ever shine in grace and holiness to bring more and more people closer to God in these latter days.
Also, I believe with all my heart the other prophecies written on this thread (the ones I can understand in english) starting with Fatima …. but I do not believe Veronica Lueken, sorry, I’ve done enough research and prayer time to know and see that she and her very close follwers are false as they come. Sorry.
St Faustina 1936
As I was praying for Poland, I heared the words; I bear a special love for Poland, and if she will be obedient to My will, I will exalt her in might and holiness. From her will come forth the spark that will prepare the world for My final coming.
The spark Pope John Paul II “Be Not Afraid”
In Jesus Name, Amen and Amen (*)
I could not see any cross on the daytime photos, but I did see a faint cross of light on the Youtube video that was taken at dusk. For a few minutes, the palm tree appeared totally black silhouetted against the darkening sky, until a faint cross of grey/white light began to appear before the palm branches on the left side of the screen.
The cross of light did not appear on the branches, as the “bat signal” appears when projected on clouds. The outline of the cross of light was not diffuse, as a projection is. It was more like a laser, though the beams of light “stopped” to form the cross, without extending on indefinitely, as a laser would.
The cross of light could have been formed by a hologram, though it is doubtful that the poor villagers could afford the three holographic projectors required to produce a 3-d image, as is done at Disneyland. It doesn’t appear that they have electricity in their huts. Even if they could buy three holographic projectors, the palm branches preclude their positioning the projectors to enable the image to be formed.
The villagers know that the cross is not a natural phenomenon. Technologists know that that cross of light is not produced technologically. As the Bishop said, time will tell if the apparition is from God, if it produces “good fruit” in the lives of people.

Now that there is a Bersih Rally in KL on the way to present to the DYMM Agong and this
can trigger a change of the illegal Government.
Also on 2nd October I completed a book “A case of victory – landslide or rigslide” where the facts from the Official Gazette on the results of the GE 2004 was Govt Rigs Elections All Times (GREAT). Malaysia has been famous for GREAT to enable the same people to be in power illegally.
On 11th October 2007, there was the Halo when I walked under it from Public Bank Api-Api Centre to the Central Post Office.
This is the story I wrote on 911 (9th November 200&)
JK’s Digest No. 12 of November 2007 (318 of 2007) This is a last call for BERSIH rally
CLEAN MALAYSIA – DYMM Agong please. DAULAT TUANKU.
10th November, 2007 at 3 p.m. Dataran Merdeka to the Istana Besar for a peaceful walk.
Pray for those who are prepared to make a silent stand against GREAT- Government Rigs Elections All Times.
I do not know this is relevant of not but there is a call from Human Rights Watch in New York City to allow the procession even before it is started.
This is an encouragement for all who want to be part of this Bersih rally as I had been asking God for signs. In an unusual journey to the bank, I went to FREE counter 10 to get a form to fill up at 12 noon past the 11th hour. Then my turn was announced over the public address system, it was counter 10 out of about 16 counters for me to get my service. Next counter 10 is counter 11 and so 10th November 2007 is a matching day for this message. Don’t get me wrong, it is still up to us to make a change in our Government as the bank has a calendar for the month of November which reads like that – CHANGE – “If you don’t change, reality in the end forces that change upon you”.
So I pray lots and lots of people would turn up in that Bersih Rally to make a clean change to the illegal Government – as GREAT must be removed in http://malaysian-elections-2004.blogspot.com/
You still have another 24 hours to take that step to show your face where it matters. Today is also 911.
God bless you, your family and Malaysia.
With this Joshua Kong is prepared to takeover the tough job of the new Prime Minister of Malaysia with the Administrative HQs moved to Sabah to bless all with a new system and a new beginning.

08/11: Racial tensions simmer in Malaysia
Well DONE
Very Early Rainbow at sunrise in a good sign for change.
Whether you want to believe this or not, it is up to us.
As we want to ask God for prayers to be answered over the Bersih Rally, such answers can come
in various ways with a time scale to be uncertain.
Nevertheless it is an encouragement for me to share this.
It is rare even in Kota Kinabalu with blue sky most of the time to see any rainbow and it is even more rare to see any rainbow before our eyes. I don’t know if you would ever see rainbows in Kuala Lumpur in the sky while some may see them in some misty parks.
It is known that a downpour quite normal in KL did happen during the Bersih Walk. Despite that, the marchers were still in high spirit to do something for all to send the special GREAT message. Also the heavy downpour is symbolic of the Bersih Malaysia as cleaning up the nation to come about with the intervention from the YDP Agong. If it does not come fast enough within the 14 days, we should pursue it in other ways. We need to keep it going now that the first ever hand over to the YDP Agong had been successful despite the obstruction of the Police.
Now back the rainbow rarely in the early morning at about 6.30 am Sunday, it can be a sign of something changing for the nation in the heavenly the next morning after the Bersih Rally.
Joshua Kong is the only option for a new system in a new beginning to bless all in the nation. Unless we have a new system with a new Prime Minister with the PM admin office in Sabah, we are surely and slowly into oblivion like a listed boat.
You may care to pray for me …

We cannot pretend we can save Malaysia.
Why do we say God save Malaysia?
God can only save Malaysia by a miracle.
So we need to let God be God.
Instead many have become God themselves as they shout Allah.
We are depleted in resources and the many natural disasters plus social ills
are too costly to make Malaysia sustainable.
With a bigger population including illegal people,
how can Malaysia in its old bias system trying to get rid of almost half
the people who are likely to be non Muslims be sustainable.
Sow the wind and reap the whirlwind.
Old people in UMNO, PAS, PKR, DAP cannot start a new system
and implement that…
We need new people who had gone through the hard knocks for many years to
start the new system trusting GOD to be God to save us.
Freemasons always pretend to be saviours but they are EXPOSED and worst would come by…. SAD….
Joshua Kong has been survivor with a mission to be accomplished.
Has any one come forward with a new system…?
Many just scream Reformasi… but how?
Reformasi is still OLD system going to doom….
Sabah had been through several State Governments for 44 but under the same
system of Federalism hence it is doom…. sad to say that….
Joshua Kong has the vision, mission and message as well.

List / Index The Vision of Daniel Stern for the Church in Malaysia
The Vision of Daniel Stern for the Church in Malaysia 5th October 1997, All Saints Cathedral.
TO THE LAND CALLED DISARRAY :
One day as I was walking the streets of the land called Mine, I turned aside and sat in the shade of a massive tree. I was taken up into the clouds and given a vision. This vision is for a land far away from the City of Gold.
I was high above the earth looking down upon a place that was split in half. On one side of this land there were great buildings and many people running to and fro. I could also see that the leaders were not walking in the path that God would have them walk. Many buildings were being built to give the god of the leaders and the things of their god all the glory. Ruling over this Land was the Great Lie of the Evil One. Very few of the people could understand what was happening to the Land. Under the surface of this Land that was full of life there lurked death for all that followed the ways of the leaders.
Standing next to me was the Angel of the Lord.
He said to me : “Man, look at the ways of the lost, how they are walking. Can you see how they have for many years turned away from our Father and His ways ? Walking with the Evil one for many years and not wanting to see the Truth. There was a time that our Father was upon it. But alas, the Evil One came as a thief at night and stole the hearts of a few. The few turned into many as the years passed by. Now you see before you a land that has only a remnant within her borders. Our Father has not turned His back on this Land but indeed has within her the servants that shall bring her back into the former glory that she once had. This Land shall turn and give up her hatred toward the Land of God for the Last Battle. The Land of Disarray shall for a time stand on the side of God. His Word shall be her stronghold when the world comes against her. She is not in the will of many other lands at this time, but to appease the world she will bend to the whims of the world.
God shall cause her leaders to come into the place of repentance in the time He so chooses. Look and see the Dragon of the deep come and deceive the people of this Land. This Dragon is but another from the Evil One.”
I looked and saw a large snake-like figure coming from the North. As it came closer, I could see that it was in the form of a Dragon. It had many feet as a mans feet. Tossing and turning from side to side and spitting out all sorts of foul words at the people. Children were having a good time watching the Dragon for they did not know what they were seeing before their eyes.
As the Dragon went along in its wake, it left a black trail. Many people ran to stand in the darkness of that trail. Only a few did not run to the darkness. As I stood looking at the Dragon turning the Land into a pit of darkness, I saw a few men and women dressed in white come out of a building, standing right in the path of the Dragon, thus stopping it. The Dragon reared his ugly head and came down on them. They were gone as fast as they had come to do battle with it.
From another building I saw many more people dressed in white come out to do battle with the Dragon. This time they had something in their hands. Coming forth and standing in the path of the Dragon they raised their hands towards the Heavens and gave a great shout. The buildings shook from the shout but the Dragon just reared its head as in surprise and came down on them.
The difference this time was that there were so many people dressed in white against him that the Dragon could not get rid of them so easily. It was what happened next that caused me to weep for them. The people in turned and went into the shadow of the Dragon from fear of what they had seen. Although they did not walk in the darkness, they did walk in its shadows. As the Dragon continued to move along, more and more people came into the shadow of it until after some time the shadow became the haven for most of the people of this Land. Still far from the Dragon stood a small group of people in white. Then the Dragon turned towards the group, more agitated than it was at any other time in this Land.
I turned to the Angel of the Lord and said : “Let us go and stop this foul Dragon before it gets to the people in white”.
TO THE LAND CALLED DISARRAY : (cont’d)
He answered me : “Man, do not think that you or anyone can stop this Dragon of the Evil One. For it has been sent to kill the Spirit of God in this Land. As you can see, it has done its job well, but our Father has not lost the war. Behold the Lamb of God is standing at the front of the Army of the Lord of Hosts. The Lamb of God is the head of His Army and no servant of the Evil One shall prevail against Him. Go sound the alarm, the battle is to begin in the Land of Disarray.”
With that I had peace about the battle soon to start before my eyes. I prayed for God to have mercy on the Army but was about to go into the battle. I then saw the One that could change the Land, stepping in front of the guard. My sweet Jesus walked into the battlefield, turned and called His Army to Him, speaking in a voice that I could not hear. Whatever He said must have caused their hearts to soar with joy. I saw stepping up to stand beside Him a person, small in the eyes of the world but he must have been great in the eyes of Jesus. What happened next caused the Land to shake and the Dragon to stop in its tracks.
Jesus raised His hands towards the heavens and said in a voice that all could hear : “Father, I give to You all that are Mine as You gave to Me all that is Yours. This man I do anoint to lead this part of My Army into the battle over the Land called Disarray.”
That small man fell at the feet of Jesus and wept. I was standing in awe at all that I was seeing. I turned to the Angel of the Lord and asked : “Will God allow this battle to begin ?”
He answered me : “Man, our Father has given all things over to Jesus and Jesus shall not have any in His Kingdom that walk in the shadows of the Evil One and his servants. Yes, this battle shall take place, for it is written so !”
I cried out : “How soon will it take place ?” “Sooner than you think” He answered me.
I turned back to see what was about to happen when I heard the Angel of God saying : “Man, it is time for you to return and take your place, prepare the Army of the Lord on earth, as you have been told before.”
With that I was once again sitting under that tree in the City of Gold. Looking around me I could see that no one could tell what had just happened to me. People walking from place to place, looking at the things of the world and without any notice what God has in store for the whole Earth.
That small man is Joshua Kong in Sabah…. want to believe that?

At the Holy Communion rail, I was shaking all over my body beyond my control.
sa jumpa one Fadoo di KK, i asked him bout his opinion of the Majik Daun Kelapa. Dia bilang, kalau umat ambil ikthibar tanda itu sebagai kesedaran untk mendekati kepada Tuhan, itu bagus.

Dear friends, Jericho = GE 2008
After a string of daily miracles in answered prayers on the way to “Jericho” on 7th October, 2008 and a battle sort of David & Goliath. A lot of hard work with love of God had been invested in the wilderness on the way to Jericho – GE 2008 collapsed like no one (opponents) was found in biblical Jericho – sort of walk over for Joshua Kong. The various feedbacks from you, I thank you for all the attention and prayers, I have this report to appreciate. Would this be read as it was the biblical Jericho to the promised land? Keep on praying, for the Grace of God is sufficient. Joshua Kong
Petition against GE 2008 7th October 2008
The Writ of Summons on the General Elections 2008 was up for mention on 7th October 2008 as fixed by the Kota Kinabalu High Court. The Case was filed in the Court on 25th April, 2008 and the defendents – Election Commission Chairman was served the Writ on 26th May 2008. The Peguam Negara Malaysia (Attorney-General’s Chamber, Malaysia) had acknowledged by Memorandum of Appearance dated 5th June, 2008.
But today no representative from the PNM or the Election Commission has appeared in the Chamber of the Judge Tuan Ikmal Hishan (on behalf of Puan Noor Haflizah). Datuk Patrick Sindu who was present and I are disappointed that the case is so important for the nation that no one has turned up and that the case is adjourned to 12th November 2008 (Wednesday) for mention. We would like to thank the Judge for his kind attention.
Actually, I went to the High Courts yesterday – 6th October 2008, to find out if everything was in order for the hearing and was confirmed so. Why is there no appearance for the defendant?
We may ask why the disquiet over such an important national issue? What would happen if I as the plaintiff do not appear? I may have to pay for the penalty without mercy.
We are aware that there is only a single Judiciary in Malaysia according the de factor Justice Minister – Datuk Zaid Ibrahim as he told the Dewan Rakyat (DE 22 May 2008) and so due respect should be accorded to the High Courts in Kota Kinabalu.
I am not only disappointed for the special effort acting on my own for the preparation of the case but also the “wasting nature” in the context of the nation when the validity of the GE 2008 is under question based on the records and conduct of the EC. I have prepared for the case with great expectation to go on immediately because further undue delay for the legitimacy of the Governments (Federal & State) to be unresolved would incurred great further losses in the ongoing political instability and economic turmoil due to the questioned General Election 2008 and the earlier GE 2004 for which I had also filed a Writ of Summons for similar nature on the rigged General Elections.
Would this be subjudice to add this? I would like to think that in a level playing ground, should not I be given a walkover and also my case is indefensible by the Election Commission when all the relevant polling records are now likely destroyed after 6 months. Maybe, the trial can still go on for all those triable issues raised in the Writ in accordance with Article 118A of the Federal Constitution with whatever records still available. I hope the EC would cooperate fully when the EC Chairman had publicly challenged anyone to go to Courts to prove him wrong and he will resign. (Nov 2007). Since he had asked for it and yet why nobody had turned up? So how can we ever have a fair and free general election under the present system where it is public interest that natural justice must prevail at all costs. To me, the case is also an exercise of national service to enhance the conduct of future general elections for the win-win scenario for the nation and all.

[...] blog post entitled “Miracle at Keningau: The Virgin Mary appeared?” in June 2007 generated huge interest. It talked about one coconut tree (some say four) with [...]
picture speak a thousand words, if you believe that is a cross, then that is a cross, some people only see it as a normal tree leaf.
People always believe what they want to believe, people see what they want to see…
Doesn’t matter what is on the leaf, as long as we are free from sins… thats my opinion.
The phenomena, the cure of the paralysed I believed was a miracle, but definately got nothing to do with the tree, it was just a coincidence. Maybe it was their karma… their fate
Will God punish those who not believe Him, but free from sins, rather than those who as if believe Him, but selfish, arrogant, full of sins and will go to church every weeks to repent, to ask for forgiveness?
I know so many peoples are just like that, always put God in the mouth, read the whole bible and almost can memorized it, but they themselves are selfish, bully, always think that they right because they believe in God… What the use?
if it’s your faith..sumambayang nopo boh..
i kesian those who need to see things to believe or need to experience things to believe, and worst they demand miracle from God to believe. For them miracle is a must.
Thank you for your opinion DA towards me:)
Sometimes, people standing in position A will not realize their mistake until those who stand in another position gave their opinion:) Human… never see their own mistake..
Of course peoples believe things that they seen and experienced… believing things that they didnt see I believe is call ‘percaya membabi buta’
No one demand for miracle, miracle just come in the right time, in the right place…Believe in miracle doesn’t mean believe in God or believe the tree…
What I am trying to say is, no matter what religion are we, as long as we are free from sins… that is the most important thing do to as a human being.
any latest developments here when major landslides and floods are regularly occurrences in Sabah and Peninsula dangerously…
Please pray for me in the effort of two Court cases on General Election 2004 and GE 2008 so that the Government would be declared illegal…
No offence Mr. Kong….I think that that would be too far fetch. I’d rather pray for the government to have integrity and deliver what is due to it’s citizen. I’d rather pray for the opposition to play a leading an exemplary role to ensure the check and balances in the country is preserved. I’d rather pray for all Malaysians to love one another as God loves us.
Dear Disney,
what a name nere?
It is no fun to pray for the same Governments after 51/46 years of no return.
It is time for a change..
Actually, the thiefs are doing everything to cover up their tracks with impunity…
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH…
profligacy of RM15 trillions would go on like this…

[b]PM’s residence: ‘3 days rental could buy 1 low-cost house’ [/b]
Beh Lih Yi | Dec 11, 08 6:07pm
An opposition lawmaker has questioned the need for the government to pay a whopping RM6 million a year for the rental and maintenance of the prime minister’s official residence in Putrajaya.
“It’s definitely a waste of taxpayers’ money. It means we are paying more than RM16,000 a day,” Liew Chin Tong of DAP told Malaysiakini.
“We can buy a low-cost house for needy people with three days’ worth of rental for the residence,” he said.
He noted that the government is also paying a huge sum for the deputy premier’s official residence.
In a written parliamentary reply to Liew, Abdullah had revealed that the government forks out RM6 million a year for rental and maintenance works for his official residence, Seri Perdana.
According to the reply, RM4,149,000 is paid as rental to Putrajaya Holdings – the master developer of the federal administrative capital – while the remaining RM1,896,616 is for maintenance works.
The government also pays RM3.4 million (RM2,273,888 for rental and RM1,129,992 for maintenance) for Seri Satria, the deputy premier’s official residence.
In total, this works out to about RM26,000 per day for both residences.
Liew, the Bukit Bendera MP said the prime minister and deputy prime minister do not need such “luxurious” residences at the expense of taxpayers, and that the sum can be channelled for better use.
“Look at No 10 Downing Street (the British prime minister’s residence), it is just a humble building. Even the White House proper (US president’s residence and office) is smaller than Seri Perdana, which is just a residence,” he said.
The government is bound by an agreement with Putrajaya Holdings to pay the sum for 25 years, from the time the first occupant of Seri Perdana – then premier Dr Mahathir Mohamad (left) – moved into the complex in 1999.
‘More being paid in rent’
Mahathir had said the Putrajaya project had been funded entirely by the private sector and that government money was not involved. He was fending off criticism over the development of the mega-project.
However Liew pointed out: “We are now paying close to RM1 billion to Putrajaya Holdings annually to rent all the government offices in Putrajaya, and the amount is increasing year by year since the government is occupying more offices.”
According to Putrajaya Holdings’ official website, its shareholders include Petronas via KLCC (Holdings) Sdn Bhd (64.41 percent); CIMB Group Nominees (Tempatan) Sdn Bhd (for and on behalf of Kumpulan Wang Amanah Negara, 20 percent); and Khazanah Nasional Bhd (15.59 percent).
The Seri Perdana complex, located in Precinct 10, is a sprawling complex that covers 16 hectares and comprises three blocks for a main reception area, banquet facilities and the residential area.
According to AFP, Abdullah lives in the complex with his wife, daughter and son-in-law and their children.
“It is wasteful to spend so much money on renting the prime minister’s house when the country is facing such tough times,” said opposition parliamentarian Hatta Ramli from PAS.
“Even though the money is going back to a government-linked company, this should not be the case as the government should really own the building the prime minister occupies,” he told AFP.
“What happens if the prime minister somehow gets evicted?”
Chief minister of opposition-controlled Penang state Lim Guan Eng questioned the payment of rent to Putrajaya Holdings.
“We can understand paying maintenance, but rental does not make sense,” he said.
“This also begs the question as to who are the directors of the company and who gets all the profit made by the company.”
RM16 mil spent on renovations
The high cost of building, renovating and maintaining the complex has always been a focal point for the opposition.
According to figures revealed in the House in 2005, the building of Seri Perdana cost RM24.17 million, with maintenance costing up to RM2.9 million a year. An additional RM15.81 million was spent for renovations that year as well.
It has also been alleged previously that the building actually cost about RM200 million to build.
In 2006, an opposition MP revealed that a whopping RM20 million was allegedly spent for the security system in the premier’s official residence.

New Year Message 2009
The Justice you want in 2009 and beyond
Justice is a very big word in today’s world as so many are crying but little is getting it in the way to be desired. Justice is very expensive especially in restoring process of chaos when both developments are pulling in different opposing directions. The worst chaos we are in would require even more costly effort to restore justice.
Actually it is getting worst as the world go chaos in so many ways known and unknown.
Justice is about the RIGHT ORDERS of things, but many manipulate every situation there is, in ways unbelievable stupid.
John N. Oswalt asserts the Hebrew word translated “justice” is in many ways the antonym of “chaos” and it is much more than legality, as ‘justice’ has come to connote in English. Rather, it has the idea of ‘right order’ in his book “The NIV application Commentary” (Grand Rapids: Zondervan 2003).
Who can give us justice or the right orders of things?
There is only one person since the beginning of mankind who can give us the justice or right orders of things that was started in the Garden Eden (now likely erased but so prominent reminded by the global kidnappings in Gulf Eden near Somalia or Horn of Africa).
The Justice of God was started in Adam with the Great Commission and Creation Mandate and we have failed since Adam and Eve departed from God.
With that mankind have done it their ways including misconstrue and misinterpret God’s Commands as religion instead of treating God’s Word as POLITICS. While we had messed it up, we had become so clever that God tells us this in his verse – “This only have I found; God made mankind upright, But men have gone in search of many schemes.” Ecclesiastes 7:29. So God’s Commands were diluted and many religions appear while politics are in terrible mix up until today we pay for it in indescribable profligacy. Feeding both politics and religions especially in theocracy declared or otherwise have been very expensive affairs and many die for them claiming martyrdom when such belief is unsustainable as God does not expect anyone to do sacrifice including dying for any cause but to live in his Kingdom for the Great Commission and Creation Mandate.
God sends his Son (John 3:16) to be with us so that we can repent but how many of us accepted him then and so he died on the Cross for our sin as according to Isaiah 53. God again reminded us “For every high priest, being taken from among men, is appointed for men in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins.” (Hebrews 5:1). In this particular case, it is Jesus Christ the high priest who had done the only desirable sacrifice from God. So do we want to learn that in many religions, the practice of sacrifice including suicide bombing is abomination to God. With that evil religious practice done away, we are better off in this world.
Why are we in disorders or not right orders and even in chaos? Jesus said “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.” John 10:10. So it is in order for God to send his son to die on the Cross to show the right holy order. Even Abraham was not to sacrifice his son Isaac although initially instructed by God. So why should some human beings die by suicide and for what purpose to kill others in the process?
The world is full of numbers games. Majority in the eyes of mankind is important but to God one in support of the true God is a majority. God in his mighty spirit can transform one into thousands.
Right now, we had two Parliamentary be elections in P44 Permatang Pauh (26 August 2008) and now P36 Kuala Terengganu or “Turun Negara” in 2009 but still within the year of the rat – a symbol of Chinese calendar. Unless the nation overcome 666 or 36, we are in deeper scenario of burden as tons of money and resources had already gone to fill up the Kuala (river plain) making the profligacy worst in 2009.
Change to justice in Malaysia is urgent and the best justice or right order is to follow what God tell us at the Garden of Eden – obedience to the God as recorded in the Bible. Corruption and GREED (Governments’ Rampant Excesses Exploitation & Destruction) are the root causes of injustice to make the helpless Judiciary very busy with millions of costly legal cases annually.
Many of us are involved with these activities of missions also known as Great Commission and Creation Mandate but done in the wrong perspectives or understanding. God’s Commands are POLITICS not religion. This is exactly what God means in POLITICS MISSION and his gifts in PALM – Politics At Last Mission and Ephesian 4:11. Palm (handling of things and circumstances) and Politics or God’s Command – in five digits – thumb and four fingers with the five gifts namely prophecy (religion), apostles (social relations/society/families), pastors (economy), teachers (education) and evangelist (sports & leisure) in accordance to Ephesian 4:11.
To achieve the PALM effectively to bring the right holy orders, we need the Fruit of the Spirit as powerful in love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. (Galatian. 5:22-25).
Let the Justice of God roll over us on earth also the Kingdom of God.

God’s Commands are Politics
The triune God breathed into Adam and obedience was the command,
Sadly obedience was broken, the glow of light on body was lost,
Devastatingly naked as exposed and groping in darkness as refuge,
Misled more with many man made foolish religions as deception,
Surely God’s love forever, as in his image and spirit in His Word,
Assuredly His love in Word as Jesus in the flesh at Christmas,
Sacrificially His love goes more when Jesus was to die in love
Ironically the love repeated in foolishness by some in martyrdom,
Praise God’s sacrifice in Jesus for us as final for all purposes.
Daily worship God not Moses in accordance with Ten Commandments,
Joyfully worship Jesus as the way, truth and light on earth once,
Maturing in the Fruit of the Spirit a true pilgrimage on earth,
Regaining the glow of redemption in the true light in Garden Eden,
Apprehensive of the final Judgement as seated in the right or left,
Separated by our salvation in Christ as clothed in light or darkness,
Undoubtedly as salt and light we go on with Politics mission,
Fulfill five gifts of religion, economy, society, education and sports,
Accomplish the great commission and creation mandate in politics.
Joshua Y. C. Kong of Borneo
