I just discovered your blog(...Dear Mr.O"Regan,<br />I just discovered your blog(thank you btw)and having never read St.Augustine's end time analysis I was set back a bit since I had always assumed we were just coming to the end of an era, a bloody ending, none the less. Let me explain.<br /><br />Over my life I have received many gifts from the Holy Spirit and I carry one burden with gratitude, the gift of visions or as Father Bob says the gift of revelation. I will relate two different visions I received that were included in Augustine's analysis.<br /><br />Roughly 15 years ago I awoke to a monotone voice telling me that Russia will lead an attack on Israel from Syria. I could see a yellow map of Syria and as the voice ticked off the names of the nations involved in the attack on Israel a red line starting from Turkey's border followed along some road or highway. The number of countries joining Russia was astounding, when France was mentioned I thought this could only happen after muslims take over France. I lost focus after that revelation, so I have never been certain as to whether China and USA were unable or unwilling to come to Israel's aid. The red line turned in a southernly direction and when the line reached somewhere near Damascus I heard a loud explosion, ending the vision.<br /><br />On the last Sunday of July 2012 I felt the Holy Spirit's buzz completely fill my heart, a couple days later I received several visions that reoccurred in exactly the same way over 3 nights and were replayed every night for about two months until I remembered the visions, not that I understood anything, just remembered. I will relate the vision that concerns Augustine's analysis. <br /><br />From a slightly elevated position I could see myself looking up at a beautifully clear,starlit sky, I was bare headed, so I assumed it was warm enough not wear a hat. Suddenly the stars started revolving in a circular motion around the earth. An easy revelation to understand. Over in the northwest corner of my vision I saw a flash of light just over the horizon emanate from the ground up into the sky. And then another flash of light, and another. Soon the flashes of light reflected off the back of the clouds in the sky just like in a thunderstorm. I saw a man and a woman struggling to find their way through all the smoke, I saw headlights from what appeared to be some military vehicle pass them and for a brief second the dust and smoke cleared enough that I could see some kind of activity was taking place behind the couple and then the vision ended. A couple months later the dust and smoke cleared long enough that I could see piles of bodies with arms and legs tangled together, their mouths froze open in death. <br /><br />This coming weekend marks the 3rd anniversary of the last gift I received from the Holy Spirit. If this gift comes to fruition after 3 years like other gifts I received expect events to escalate. <br /><br />Sincerely,<br />Terry LeoTerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08905366491370539130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6767475475753279918.post-83755328415111017052015-09-10T15:00:55.392+01:002015-09-10T15:00:55.392+01:00John, I found Emmett's booklet "The End ...John, I found Emmett's booklet "The End of the World - What Catholics Believe" published by CTS Explanations to be the clearest analysis of Millenniums' thinking versus St. Augustine's teachings regarding the 1,000 years of Satan's imprisonment, which he believed started during the life/death of Christ. I could not find a place where I could buy more than one or two booklets at a time so Emmett sent me the link to a source in the UK where I was able to purchase enough for our Bible Study group. Emmett's explanation of St. Augustine's analysis makes it easier to understand the vision of Pope Leo XIII and the 100 year rise of Satan's power around 1917 (Hitler and Communism) and the appearance of the Blessed Mother at Fatima in 1917 and Padre Pio's stigmata, which appeared in 1918. We are almost at the end of the 100 years during which Satan has tried to destroy Christ's Church. We are watching as Rabbi Jonathan Cahn is calling Jews and gentiles to repentance and baptism. Perhaps he is one of the two witnesses? There is hope in the blood of Christ through repentance. There will be many graces released by God through the secret of Fatima as the second Pentacost will be given to those who wish to receive it. It will help push away the fear as we see the power of God unfold.<br />Mary ELlenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13305251558233145269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6767475475753279918.post-49965711803063055252015-09-08T19:32:00.761+01:002015-09-08T19:32:00.761+01:00Hi John,

He forwards a millennialist position that there will be a future 1000 years of peace - an interpretation which has long been condemned by the Church as millenarianism. My position is basically that of St. Augustine - that the Millennium is the age of the Church, that it began with the ministry of Christ, and ends with the unbinding of Satan towards the end of the world.Emmett O'Reganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01043723932377194248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6767475475753279918.post-35192208002533821502015-09-07T18:22:09.919+01:002015-09-07T18:22:09.919+01:00Mr O'Regan, are you familiar with "The Bo...Mr O'Regan, are you familiar with "The Book of Destiny" by Rev.

And, "two women will be grinding grain, and one will be taken."?<br />Jesus doesn't use the word "rapture", but He specifically, and mysteriously, talks of being taken away. <br />What do you believe Jesus is talking about here, then?D.O.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6767475475753279918.post-6042354750673120532015-08-14T19:20:20.388+01:002015-08-14T19:20:20.388+01:00That's exactly what I said Sherry.

You are correct that I did reference the conjunction of Venus and Jupiter inside the Constellation Leo with the Regulus (King) star on October 25th at 3:00 am (CST) with Virgo rising clothed in the sun. This is supposed to be the first time it has presented the same as it did 2,000 years ago.<br /><br />Mark W, thank you for this video about those who believe Christ might return during the Jubilee Year. We have read "The Harbinger" and "The Shmitah" by Rabbi Jonathan Cahn, the Messianic Jewish Rabbi out of New Jersey, who is calling Jews and Gentiles to repentance and baptism. He is witnessing to people all over the world that Jeshua is the Messiah, to turn away from sin, repent and be baptized. He is calling people to get right with God. I believe Emmett is corect to see the Jubilee Year as the Year of Mercy Pope Francis has announced. May the Holy Spirit guide us to bring people to God through Christ during this year of Mercy that many may be saved during the New Evangelization or purification before the coming chastisement.<br /><br />Ziad, thank you for bringing Comet ISON on November 28, 2013 to our attention. It seems significant that 1260 days later we arrive just before May 13, 2017, the first 100th anniversary month of Fatimah. Could it be announcing the beginning of the chastisement, Emmett?<br /><br />Mary Ellen<br /> Mary ELlenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13305251558233145269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6767475475753279918.post-35837215683806567012015-08-13T04:14:28.477+01:002015-08-13T04:14:28.477+01:00Here's another interesting puzzle piece:

Yes, the times being divided up between the Father, Son and Holy Spirit is in Mark W's words, a little "wonky". Also, that video posted by Mary Ellen describing the upcoming conjunction of stars that you say you are aware of does sound legitimate. But, I'm a little skeptical of the "third eagle of the apocalypse" as the narrator identifies himself in that video. That's what I mean about taking in the info and then using critical thinking. He also talks about planet Nibiru which I've never heard of that as being legitimate either.

But he is dead wrong on a millenialist interpretation of the Apocalypse being permitted by the Church. I noticed Mark Mallet's use of selective quoting concerning St. Augustine on the Millennium some time ago. He has been heavily influenced by the writings of Fr. Iannuzzi, and lifts this tactic directly from him.<br /><br />Below is my favourite quote from St. Augustine on the Millennium, which pertains to our own time:<br /><br />"And what are we in comparison with those believers and saints who shall then exist, seeing that they shall be tested by the loosing of an enemy with whom we make war at the greatest peril even when he is bound? Although it is also certain that even in this intervening period there have been and are some soldiers of Christ so wise and strong, that if they were to be alive in this mortal condition at the time of his loosing, they would both most wisely guard against, and most patiently endure, all his snares and assaults.<br />Now the devil was thus bound not only when the Church began to be more and more widely extended among the nations beyond Judea, but is now and shall be bound till the end of the world, when he is to be loosed."Emmett O'Reganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01043723932377194248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6767475475753279918.post-770334840040232142015-08-12T14:41:12.759+01:002015-08-12T14:41:12.759+01:00Hi Rose,

As for the Shemitah, there are also some fascinating aspects of this, in relation to the original institution of the Jewish feast of Jubilees. However we must keep in mind that the celebration of the Jubilee year was always about the cancellation of debt in relation to forgiveness of sin, and the upcoming extraordinary jubilee of the Year of Mercy is much more in keeping with original sentiments behind the celebration of the jubilee year. There does seem to be some remarkable convergences on this particular time period. Will there be an economic crash? I really don't know, and I am not at all convinced that this has to with the end of the world itself. The purification and renewal of the Church is the next major event that I'm expecting. Whether there will be some form of chastisement prior to this is anyone's guess.<br /><br /><br /><br />Emmett O'Reganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01043723932377194248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6767475475753279918.post-14452449125647904602015-08-12T04:33:35.163+01:002015-08-12T04:33:35.163+01:00Mary Ellen - I suspect that the New Evangelization...Mary Ellen - I suspect that the New Evangelization will NOT be anything like the Old Evangelization. In the old paradigm, the church went to the people in the form of missionaries. I strongly suspect that in the New Evangelization, everyday people will be begging for information. At that point, if we can't explain the faith, then we fail. When the time comes, we'd all better be able to explain how we do NOT worship Mary, how the Eucharist is Real, how the sacraments are vital, etc. <br /><br />And if any of you missed it, the stock market walked into a "death cross" today, and China devalued the Yuan. Even the secular economy-watchers are beginning to say that our economic time is likely down to weeks. <br /><br />Emmett - I'm curious, but what are you hearing about Ireland's economic situation? It's dropped off the radar here, with all the Greek issues of late.Mark Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15138095328541163796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6767475475753279918.post-39165083517383637182015-08-12T04:23:19.877+01:002015-08-12T04:23:19.877+01:00I agree Emmett's chronology makes sense.

Shoebat's ideas are just an alternative viewpoint that happens to make a certain amount of sense. I actually think Emmett's viewpoint above makes more sense. Just for clarity.<br /><br />Oddly enough, Rose, this reminded me of something:<br /><br />SCULLY: I thought that you'd be pleased that I opened myself to extreme possibilities.<br /><br />MULDER: Dana... open yourself up to extreme possibilities only when they're the truth.<br /><br />You have to look at all these things with a great deal of critical thinking, and look for evidence at every turn. I happen to like Mark Mallet's writing, and I do think he's connected to something in very general terms. But I think his conclusions are absolutely wrong and I think he's a bit disingenuous in some of his work. Want to have some fun? Look at his quote from St. Augustine that's used to support his ideas of the "eucharistic reign of Christ". Notice that this particular quote has a couple of ellipsis marks. Now find out what's in each of those ellipsis's (what on earth is the plural of ellipsis?). It actually reads, to me, as the opposite of what Mallett contends. Mallett may be connected to something, but his conclusions are all wonky. So yes, there's a heap of critical work that goes into some of this. My apologies if I wasn't clear on this earlier.Mark Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15138095328541163796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6767475475753279918.post-69185505570734513022015-08-12T03:08:38.694+01:002015-08-12T03:08:38.694+01:00p.s.

The link below is the lead story on Spirit Daily and it's quite interesting given the fact that it goes along with the coming Springtime of the Church that you've been writing about. But there are other events she also speaks of portending catastrophes effecting the whole world. I've never read any of this prophecy prior to this post on Spirit Daily so I'm just running this by you for your opinion.<br /><br />http://www.mysticsofthechurch.com/2015/07/the-prophecy-of-madeleine-porsat.html<br /><br />Also, interesting stuff Mary Ellen about the sign in the sky. Seems to fit perfectly with what we've been discussing. I've always thought throughout my 64 years of life that the star of Bethlehem was just like it is on the Christmas cards...bright and everyone saw it. But, the more I read and ponder this it couldn't have been that obvious. I think that is so because when the wise men came to Jerusalem none of the scribes saw it (until the wise men showed up) or they would have told Herod about it. And, the shepherds themselves had to be told by the angels of Christ's birth as there is no record of them seeing a star. So, this sign in the sky, imho, I think is for those who are looking for it. Just like the wise men. Its coming in the same year and very near the 100th anniversary (according to the links provided) of the miracle of the sun of the Fatima revelations. That makes it that much more believable. We'll see if 9/23-24/2017 pans out to be the year of the sign of the "woman clothed with the sun".<br /><br />thanks,<br />roseAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6767475475753279918.post-19309054185643623892015-08-11T23:25:05.957+01:002015-08-11T23:25:05.957+01:00Rev 11:8 - "and the bodies shall lie in the s...Rev 11:8 - "and the bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also Our Lord was crucified." <br /><br />Reading this in Revelations may give us the clue that its current.

Netanyahu showed the world who is the boss of the U.S. He lectured the U.S. Congress on its foreign policy. First time in the history of the United States has this ever happened. All throughout the New Testament Jerusalem used Roman power to kill the Messiah and try to destroy the people of God, the Church.
