The following was e-mailed to JAY BROADGATE from Mary Ellen Gateley on Prodigy. She heard it on a local radio program, and was kind enough to type it in for those of us who listen strictly to the oldies station.
"Insight", a religious magazine of some sort, reprinted from The Manila Bulletin where it originally appeared. Editors note: The following is from the diary of Pope John XXIII who reigned from 1958 - 1963. This copy was distributed by certain groups in several catholic churches in Metro Manila in the Philippines.
The world will suffer through a painful time of violent wars, deadly famine, and destructive natural disasters over the next 8 years. That nightmare will be followed by a lengthy stretch of love and harmony, a beautiful serene heaven on earth. The startling predictions come from the sensational lost diary of Pope John XXIII, beloved pontiff who died June 3, 1963. The dusty leather-bound diary containing handwritten predictions was found by a Vatican cleaning woman who was sorting through boxes stacked in a little-used storage room.
The entries clearly spell out the assassination of John F. Kennedy, America's plunge into the Viet Nam war, unrest in the Middle East, and the fall of communism years before it took place. Later entries call for even more troubled times. Pope John had periodic visits from both Jesus and the Virgin Mary, said a reverend who's pored over the wondrous tales. These sessions in the pope's chambers resulted in fantastic glimpses into the future of mankind. The pope was saddened to learn that conditions will get much worse before they take a sudden, sensational turn in the year 2000 that will return the world to its pristine beauty that was here for Adam and Eve. Pope John writes of heavenly visitors arriving by June of 1995 in flaming chariots of steel. The special visitors will arrive at the height of despair and help man heal his wounds and work together to right all the horrible wrongs.
Father D'Angelo, now 73 years old, has
agreed to release some of the diary entries
made between February of 1959 and April of 1963. The
scrawled messages reveal a frightened and excited pontiff
who decided to keep his meetings with Christ and the
Madonna a secret. The first appearance of Christ took
place February 12, 1959. Pope John notes:
"Dear God, I've been blessed like no man before me. The Savior has granted me special audience here in my chambers. He tells me that I have been chosen to hear the truth no matter how awful it may be. It scares me a bit to be so entrusted, but I am honored all the same. Jesus tells me that the Virgin Mary will come soon to deliver the first news of what will be."
APRIL 7, 1959. She is more beautiful that I had ever imagined. The Madonna is a joy to behold. I just wish her message was a more positive one. She says that in 4 years' time the world will lose a great leader, and a powerful nation will find itself involved in a conflict it cannot win. The fighting will take its toll on the battlefield and from within as the population despises the loss of its young men. The Holy Mother sheds tears as she describes the heartbreaking vision.AUGUST 17, 1959. The Madonna's second visit is much like the first. She speaks sadly of unrest in her homeland-- a change in the balance of power, and much blood being spilled in the sand. She says several madmen will send their people into battles in the name of God, but the Creator has nothing to do with these senseless struggles among brothers.
JANUARY 3, 1960. Christ comes to me again. I yearn to tell my fellow Christians of these miraculous appearances, but I am advised to keep quiet until the time is right. I cannot help but think I could perhaps head off some of the trouble that looms for us all, but Christ tells me that misery must take place for the master plan to succeed.
JUNE 13, 1960. The Virgin Mary says the world will get a false sense of hope 30 years from now when the chains of repression are shattered throughout eastern Europe. The joy will be short lived, though, as the freed peoples fight among themselves on how to run their countries. Thousands of poor innocent children will perish due to the foolishness of their fathers.
MARCH 6, 1961. Just when I thought my heavenly visits were over, the Madonna comes to me once again. She seems tired of the heartache she must share with me. My heart aches to see him hurting so. The news, again foreboding. In the early 1990's there will be a period of deadly natural disasters. She says paradise will be struck by powerful winds and wails, while killer floods and violent earthquakes will shatter man's dwellings. By the middle of the decade, regional skirmishes will develop into full-fledged conflicts. As the casualties mount, world-wide famine will strike. The devastation will be like none ever seen, especially throughout Africa where millions will perish.
SEPTEMBER 22, 1961. She has now returned with yet more bad news. It is becoming truly difficult for this humble servant to hear of such overwhelming hardships. The Madonna tells me terrifying diseases will be unleashed on the already weakened population by late 1984. Wars will begin to wind down because the fighting will be greatly weakened from within. This is the beginning of the change. Hallelujah!
(Note from Illinois: This is a key vision which is close at hand .... if it comes true, our lives will be forever changed ... )
MAY 19, 1962. From the heavens will appear the saviors. They will arrive on June 5, 1995 and begin their task of assisting the clearing and repair of the environment in the crippled countries. Many will fear these odd looking beings, but they come in peace and will, with God's guidance, transform earth from a charred spinning rock to a lush oasis in space. The survivors will flourish in a world without war, disease or hatred. My heart is finally at peace with the knowledge that there is hope for humanity.
JULY 2, 1962. The Madonna tells me this will be her final visit. It is a joyous one, for she shares tremendous news. As the year 1998 arrives, our heavenly friends will have shared much of their advanced knowledge. Mankind will at last wipe out most of its diseases and our life spans will increase to the length of those listed in the Bible. The visitors will also share the remarkable power of resurrection, and throngs of the wrongly-dead will rise again. Finally, a wondrous miracle will take place in the sky above New York City on December 25, 2000, when millions will witness the sensational appearance of a messiah who's going to announce the new beginning of a second paradise here on earth.
had a chance to release his predictions. Experts
say the diary is 100% authentic, and they urge
people to prepare themselves for even leaner
times before the new beginning, next century.
