“I write in obedience to you, my God”[...]

This first is unacceptable, as it is obviously a preface by the author - No one questions her belief in what she saw, nor her long devotion... Still, this comment seems to be in the form of a greeting, and comes before the meat of the prophetic content. The full quote in context demands such a position:

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.

I will leave aside the fact that the one who "commanded her through the Bishop of Leiria" was in fact, the pope, not God. It is incidental to the main thrust of this conversation, but it shouldn't be forgotten.

“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” —> directed to God

While I will accept this, though tenuously, it is incidental -- It isn't a promise, but part of an apocalyptic description. A promise is made in the first person.

Throughout The Prophecy, Jehovah's prophets, speaking in the first person as Jehovah Himself, say: "I will do..."

These promises are the portion of a prophecy which are measurable against the deity and/or the prophet. In Jehovah's case, the only prophet to speak otherwise than for Jehovah in the first person, was Christ; But that is incidental, as when He says "I will," speaking of Himself, He is speaking as God.

Who is the "first person" speaking authoritative promises in this case? What creature in Heaven and earth would have such audacity?
