From what I understand from prophecy, it is America that is called to bring peace to the rest of the world. That is our mission. I agree with you about history. It must always seem to every generation, that it is they that are living in the end times. But lets face it, if the apparitions are true or not from the Blessed Mother, there have been an extraordinary number of them. This of course should give us pause. I know things have been bad before, and they are certainly bad now. The saints however speak of epochs of time, for example we are in the fifth epoch, about to enter into the sixth. The fifth epoch ends with many natural and financial disaster’s. Then there will be a short rule of communism for the whole world. There will be Many wars with Islam. Finally, ending with the brutal death of the pope. Followed by three days of darkness. Sure sounds like the times we live in. Then we will enter the sixth epoch. The sixth is the time of peace, in which all nations will come back to the fullness of the church. A great French King and a very Holy pope will guide us during this peace. Then the Antichrist comes, kills the King and the pope. And then it is his rule, until judgment. So I know it is not the end for us, but really a painful beginning. I could be wrong, but that is how I see it. I must admit, I am fearful at times, especially for my five children.
Someone once said that children are God's opinion that the world should go on. I guess that is right.
But I do fear what is coming.
