"But unto none of them was Elias sent, save unto Sarepta" - More Read the Bible rather than Watching Smartphones

More Read the Bible rather than Watching Smartphones

Virgin Mary reportedly appeared to children in Europe sometimes, especially after WWI and the Spanish flu, delivering warnings and requesting repentance of the mankind:

Our Lady of Fátima is a Catholic title of Mary, mother of God based on the Marian apparitions reported in 1917 by three shepherd children at the Cova da Iria in Fátima, Portugal. The three children were Lúcia dos Santos and her cousins Francisco and Jacinta Marto. The bishop of Leiria, José Alves Correia da Silva declared the events worthy of belief on 13 October 1930.  (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Our_Lady_of_F%C3%A1tima)

The Garabandal apparitions are apparitions of Saint Michael the Archangel and the Blessed Virgin Mary that are claimed to have occurred from 1961 to 1965 to four young schoolgirls in the rural village of San Sebastián de Garabandal in the Peña Sagra mountain range in the autonomous community of Cantabria in Northern Spain. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garabandal_apparitions)

Our Lady of Medjugorje and Mother of the Redeemer, is the title given to alleged visions of the Blessed Virgin Mary which began in 1981 to six Croatian teenagers in Medjugorje, Bosnia and Herzegovina (at the time in SFR Yugoslavia). The alleged visionaries are Ivan Dragičević, Ivanka Ivanković, Jakov Čolo, Marija Pavlović, Mirjana Dragičević and Vicka Ivanković. They ranged from ten to sixteen years old at the time of the first alleged apparition. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Our_Lady_of_Medjugorje)

As for the Fatima case, there is still controversy on the third prophecy given by Virgin Mary to Lucia, though the Vatican and John Paul II officially revealed it in 2000.  Probably the Vatican must still keep secret the core of the prophecy, so that Virgin Mary has continued to appear in other places like Garabandal in Spain, Medjugorje in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and even Akita in Japan. 

As for the Garabandal case, Conchita, the main figure among girls who saw the apparition, has not yet revealed the time of the Great Miracle promised by Virgin Mary.

In the Medjugorje case, Virgin Mary has still continued to appear even today.  In Her delivery in February 2022, it is said that She gave a warning that Satan wishes to start a war.  She stressed that the mankind should spiritually return to the God as a response to Her warning and other admonitions delivered by the God; otherwise the mankind should lose their future.  This warning of Virgin Mary must be related to the current war in Ukraine and the ongoing corona-pandemic. 

In this context, the mankind seems to have entered into a decisive era where a critical event should happen.  A big tragedy that can be regarded as the end of the world might occur in the extension of the current war in Ukraine and the ongoing corona-pandemic.  It must be because too many human souls coming into the spirit world after their death in this world are falling down to the hells according to their choice or only souls of too few people are qualified to enter Heaven.   

However, the God, Christ Jesus, and Virgin Mary are benevolent and merciful.  They will surely save the mankind and allow them to continue their history over the 21st century.  I really wish the mankind to understand the mind of the God, Christ Jesus, and Virgin Mary and fully reflect on and correct their irrelevant attitudes and profane mind sets.

Finally, people should more read the Bible rather than watching smartphone screens for fun or business.

Luke 4, King James Version

24 And he said, Verily I say unto you, No prophet is accepted in his own country.
25 But I tell you of a truth, many widows were in Israel in the days of Elias, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, when great famine was throughout all the land;
26 But unto none of them was Elias sent, save unto Sarepta, a city of Sidon, unto a woman that was a widow.
27 And many lepers were in Israel in the time of Eliseus the prophet; and none of them was cleansed, saving Naaman the Syrian.
