"Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink" - Fatima through Medjugorje to Ukraine; Garabandal through Lourdes to Ukraine

 

Around Tokyo

Fatima through Medjugorje to Ukraine; Garabandal through Lourdes to Ukraine 

The most important apparition of Virgin Mary should be Her apparition in Fatima, Portugal, 1917 where She delivered warnings on WWII and WWIII.

The next one should be Her apparition in Medjugorje, Bosnia and Herzegovina, since 1981 to date.

But, this series of Marian apparitions where Virgin Mary gave warnings on coming tragedies of the mankind expected to occur in the 21st century began in La Salette, France, in 1846 and continued over the miracle in Lourdes, France, in 1858.  One example of apparitions where visionaries looking at Virgin Mary were taken into video films is that in Garabandl, Spain, around 1961.  

But, how did Virgin Mary or Christ Jesus decide the places for apparitions?  Probably, it should depend on local situations where faithful children could be seen.  But, when we draw straight lines through these places, we may find other reasons.

The line starting from Garabandal to Lourdes and La Salette reaches the east part of Ukraine; the line starting from Fatima through Medjugorje reaches the immediately north of the Crimean Peninsula, Ukraine, as seen in the above map.

So, we should conclude that the warnings by Virgin Mary are related to the current war in Ukraine and even Russia's occupation of the Crimean Peninsula in 2014.

If the Russia-Ukraine war continues long, it can trigger WWIII between democratic countries and autocratic countries.  Russia will not be able to occupy Ukraine as long as NATO countries supply military equipment and ammunitions to Ukraine, so that Russia might expand the battle fields to neighboring countries of Ukraine to stop supply of weapons to Ukraine.  However, nuclear weapons will not be first used by Russia.  Probably this phase of expansion of the Russia-Ukraine war might be seen from 2022 to 2027.  

When Russia finally realizes that it cannot defeat Ukraine and NATO countries, it may accept defeat and Russian people might introduce fully democratic government.

But, meanwhile, China might try to expand its territory to Taiwan and beyond.  It might be the second Vietnam War for the U.S.  And, it might take a decade till China will finally accept defeat and its people will rise to introduce democratic government.

These processes will be included in WWIII.  Based on historical lessons, democratic countries will prevail.  But, the autocratic countries such as Russia, China, etc. might use nuclear weapons at the last phase of WWIII desperately.      

The mankind will have to face final wars, which should be called WWIII.  But, after WWIII, democracy will prevail in the world.  Russia and China will become fully democratic countries.  And, true peace will come on the earth.  The human civilization will further continue and develop into the 22nd century and more.

However, to avoid total nuclear warfare in WWIII, we have to pray to the God.  For this reason, we have to humbly listen to Virgin Mary and learn Her warnings.

Matthew 6, King James Version

22 The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.
23 But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!
24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
25 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?

"for, behold, your reward is great in heaven" - Poor Men to Become Rich and Happy in Heaven

Poor Men to Become Rich and Happy in Heaven

One of the most impressive teachings of Christ Jesus is as follows:

Matthew 5, King James Version

5 And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him:

2 And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,

3 Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

4 Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.

5 Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.

6 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.

7 Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.

8 Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.

9 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.

10 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.

12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you. 

However, this teachings is related to the state in Heaven of those blessed by the God. 

But, what does the expression "Blessed are the poor in spirit" mean?  It seems that regardless of whether a man is materially poor or rich, if he is poor in spirit, he is allowed to enter Heaven.

But, poor men whose spirits have been enriched by their faith and love to the God should be no more poor in spirit.  And, rich men whose spirits have become poor due to their selfish love and negligence of poor people should be poor in spirit.  But, the former cannot enter Heaven while the latter can, which is insane.  

Therefore, the expression "Blessed are the poor in spirit" should be simply "Blessed are the poor." 

From the beginning, Christ Jesus came to this world in order to save the poor but not the rich.  He taught truth, especially spiritual truth, mainly to the poor who could not read and write or who were too poor to have any means and time to learn religious truth.  So then, how would Christ Jesus use an expression that was so difficult that even today many scholars and religious experts are discussing and arguing about its true meaning?  His teaching to poor and unlearnt people of 2,000 years ago should be more simple like "Blessed are the poor."    

To show His love to the poor, Christ Jesus must have said, "Blessed are the poor."  But, who changed this expression?  Satan must have done it to confuse the followers of Christ Jesus.  Satan could not abolish Christianity, its churches, and its teachings, but it must have sneaked into editing, compiling, translation, etc. of the teachings of Christ Jesus.  And, this strange and difficult phrase must be an example of Satan's interference.  

Yet, when a man becomes poor, his mind sometimes becomes poor for he cannot show respectable manners and polite behaviors.  He cannot nurture a rich spirit due to poverty.  In this sense, poor men are the poor in spirit.  Nonetheless, a rich man who is selfish, lacks love to neighbors, becomes arrogant, and neglects the teachings of Christ Jesus and the God has a narrow and cruel mind that must look poor, but his mind is in fact rich with effects of enjoying many books of various fields such as religion and literatue, artifacts, entertainments, etc.  Therefore, a materially rich man whose spirit is poor is rare, since their minds are in full of luxuries.  

  

With this kind of interference by Satan, some people think that being materially poor is not a condition for entering Heaven.  They try to believe that rich men can also enter Heaven.

But, to be rich and keep wealth, men have to neglect the poor around them and accept any necessary evil, so that gradually they will accept any evil and make the poor suffer more.  Indeed, it cannot be possible that Christ Jesus accept rich men in Heaven even if he allows poor camels to enter Heaven.

The love to the poor is the essential part of the teachings of Christ Jesus.  The most critical condition for following Christ Jesus is to have love to the poor.  In this context, loving poverty is the key to understanding Christ Jesus.

Put simply, Heaven is full of poor men, and there must be no room for rich men.  Therefore, we have to become poor as much as possible while living in this world.  Christianity is a religion for poor men who are promised to become rich and happy in Heaven.

Love poverty and enter Heaven!

Luke 6, King James Version

20 And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said, Blessed be ye poor: for yours is the kingdom of God.
21 Blessed are ye that hunger now: for ye shall be filled. Blessed are ye that weep now: for ye shall laugh.
22 Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake.
23 Rejoice ye in that day, and leap for joy: for, behold, your reward is great in heaven: for in the like manner did their fathers unto the prophets.

"where your treasure is, there will your heart be also" - Paris, Rome, Turin, Fatima, Lourdes, and Garabandal, All Connected

Paris, Rome, Turin, Fatima, Lourdes, and Garabandal, All Connected

Rome is the center of religion in Europe as the Vatican is located there.  Paris is the center of culture in Europe as the Notre Dame Cathedral is located there.

However, Turin is more important as there is the holy shroud with the image of Christ Jesus on it.  Or, Fatima is also more important as Virgin Mary appeared there to give warning to the mankind.  In addition, Lourdes is also more important as Virgin Mary caused a miracle to heal people.  Furthermore, Garabandal is notable for Marian apparitions like those in Medjugorje, the state of whose visionaries was recorded in videos. 

These locations can be connected through red lines in the Marian apparition map as below. 

Turin is on the line connecting Paris and Rome.

Garabandal is on the line connecting Paris and Fatima.

Lourdes is on the line connecting Fatima and Turin and the line connecting Rome and Garabandal.  

In this context, the 2019 fire of the Notre Dame Cathedral is symbolic for the fate of Europe, since the corona-pandemic and the Ukraine war began after 2019.  These tragedies are related to the warning delivered in Fatima or Garabandal.  It is also notable that Virgin Mary specifically mentioned Russia in her warnings in Fatima.

Visionaries in Garabandal were told by Virgin Mary that there would be a great warning that would be seen by everybody before occurrence of a great miracle or tragedy.  The 2019 fire of the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris seems to match this prophesy as a great miracle, although the date of the miracle is still in mystery.  

Europe is based on Christianity, and Christianity is mainly based on miracles.  Lourdes is the place notable for its healing waters given by Virgin Mary.  The apparitions of Virgin Mary in Garabandal is also notable for the prophecy on the Great Warning and Miracle.  Fatima is well known for the prophecy of WWI, WWII, and probably WWIII.  The shroud of Turin is so important as the Gospels, since it shows the image of Christ Jesus.  And, they are all connected through the above red lines.

Put simply, the 2019 fire of the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris is a warning of coming of a great disaster like WWIII in Europe.  And, this WWIII might be triggered by the Russian invasion of Ukraine.  The Vatican and Christianity should be gravely influenced by WWIII.

Indeed, the 21st century will be a decisive century for the mankind like the 1st century.  We had better pray to the God so as to send Christ Jesus again to the human world and save the civilization from coming WWIII.

Matthew 6, King James Version

19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:
20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
22 The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.
23 But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!
24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

"Blessed be ye poor: for yours is the kingdom of God" - The Lines Connecting the Major Marian Apparitions

 

The Lines Connecting the Major Marian Apparitions

The key places of Marian apparitions in these centuries have been connected as seen below with red lines, although these lines are somewhat rough.

(https://www.206tours.com/map/)

These lines are concentrated to Fatima:

The 1st Line: Fatima => Garabandal => Paris 

The 2nd line: Fatima => Lourdes => La Salette => Turin

The 3rd line: Fatima => Assisi => Medjugorje

The Marian apparitions in Fatima began in 1917; it began in Garabandal in 1961; and it began in Rue du Bac, Paris, in 1830.  

The Marian apparitions in Lourdes began in 1858; it began in La Salette in 1846; and the Shroud of Turin has been well known since 1578.

Assisi is famous for Francis of Assisi (1182 - 1226) who is one of the most venerated religious figures in Christianity; and the Marian apparitions in Medjugorje started in 1981 and has continued to date.  

But, the center of this network should be Turin, Italy, with the holy shroud is placed, since the image of Christ Jesus is on the shroud of Turin. 

In summary, the present crises in the world should be regarded as manifestation of warnings of Virgin Mary in recent centuries that were started in La Salette in 1846.  

However, it should be also noted that, in 2019, while Notre-Dame of Paris was undergoing renovation, its roof caught fire and burned, which must be a warning to the current war in Ukraine.  And, the incumbent Pope is named in honor of Francis of Assisi, and he has been the head of the Vatican since 2013, a year before Russian invasion of the the Crimean Peninsula of Ukraine.　

Paris is the center of Europe or the E.U.  Its symbol is the Notre-Dame cathedral.  But it was burnt in 2019 just before the corona pandemic and the Ukraine war.  And, the current Pope is called Francis as he honors Saint Francis of Assisi.  Indeed, this network of Marian apparitions implies the current situations in the world.

Put simply, these lines connecting the major recent Marian apparitions and the key places for Christianity must be related to the fate of Europe, the Vatican, and the Christian communities.

Therefore, the prophesies issued by Virgin Mary in Fatima should be checked again, since She specifically named Russia in Her warnings in Fatima.  It should be furthermore related to the Third World War.

18 And they that were vexed with unclean spirits: and they were healed.
19 And the whole multitude sought to touch him: for there went virtue out of him, and healed them all.
20 And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said, Blessed be ye poor: for yours is the kingdom of God.
21 Blessed are ye that hunger now: for ye shall be filled. Blessed are ye that weep now: for ye shall laugh.
22 Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake.
