Have you ever encountered an actual prediction of the future? Maybe made one yourself?
I have had a few personal ones. And I know of a few big christian ones:
In 1917 three children in Fatima Portugal had an apparition of the Virgin Mary. She predicted (see wiki) the following things that already came true:
- A worse war than world war I
- The beginning of the war ringed in through an unknown light
- the rise of the UDSSR
- the end of the UDSSR right after the pope consecrated russia to the immaculate heart of the virgin mary (took 5 years)
She also predicted the murder of the pope and war coming over rome. This has not yet come true. And hopefully never will, since all her predictions are dependent on us changing our lives.
In TLIG Jesus predicts on the 11th September 1991, that
"the earth will shiver and shake and every evil built into Towers will collapse into a heap of rubble and be buried in the dust of sin!"
and that we would see
"the Judge"
This prediction came true exactly 10 years later – to the day – when the World Trade Center was destroyed.
In another apparition to a businessman in Schio Italy the virgin mary said on 28/12/2000 that
"when the law of euthanasia passes, the world has reached a decisive point. Then you will see and experience what humanity has to suffer, because she has betrayed God"
The euthanasia law passed in Italy in September 2019. And in September 2019 Covid-19 broke out in China and has hit Italy like no other country except the US...
And last but not least, in Garabandal in the 1960s another apparition of the virgin Mary predicted, that a great chastisement – as a result of humanity's betrayal against God – that would begin at a time when
"when you can see that Holy Mass could no longer be celebrated freely"
e.g. now, when basically all church services in the whole world are forbidden.
The apparition explained, that then – when the world needed it the most – God would act. He would send us something the children called "the warning" and described it as a moment, where every soul would see itself through the eyes of God, and realize the weight of all her sins.
This warning will of course not be sent to make us panic, but as a chance to convert and change our lives. And – according to the children – God will do even more to help us leave our evil ways:
He will perform a great miracle in the year after the warning, at Garabandal (and supposedly in other places at the same time) which would be so special that nobody could deny it comes from God. Conchita, the only one of the children who is still alive, has the task of announcing to the world the date of this miracle 8 days in advance. She's now over 70 so it cannot be long.
Do I believe all this has happened? Hey, history is history, just look it up for yourselves.
Do I believe what hasn't happened will happen? Yeah, I think most of it will, since apparently we do not change. I mean 50-60 million innocent children are being killed every year (abortion), and you expect God would not eventually put an end to this? I don't think so...
Anyways. Tell me about other predictions that have come true, I'll be curious to get to know some more.
