Will There Be Three Days of Darkness? - Jimmy Akin's Mysterious World

[@heathert8895]

Oh Jimmy, How I wish I had you around during the "Satanic Panic" of the 80s. I would have been spared so much anxiety, nightmares, and inner turmoil if I had learned how to think critically at a young age instead of swallowing hook, line, and sinker every one of these types of "prophesies" my sweet but ill-informed grandmother thought were vital for my salvation. Keep teaching us how to use our brains instead of our succumbing to our fears.

[@ochem123]

Fear only the Lord; and don’t forget that God is supernatural. Jimmy talks as if God doesn’t do miraculous things. 🔥 ♥️

[@michaelshelbysuberlak]

Not true. Jimmy is one of the most open minded Catholics out there. But he applies faith and reason principles. He also does not vilify someone for being incredulous about something that it is not required for Catholics to assent to. And there are many things like that. He is very charitable.

[@VictorianMaid99]

Run for the hills!

[@jaynesager3049]

The “satanic panic” was not and is not as fictitious as you’ve been lead to believe. All through the seventies and eighties, I went to school with kids of Satanists, they do exactly what they’ve been accused of. You can say that they were unorganized covens, but the one they made blood sacrifice to and the unholy book they used were the same. Even before it hit the mainstream media, I prayed a lot for my dad, especially, because his profession made him especially vulnerable.

[@csassoni1992]

Definitely would love to hear your take on Garabandal. 🙏

[@KEP1983]

Yes!

[@me-ds2il]

Four successive bishops of Santander have viewed the supernatural character of Garabandal as unfounded. Period The end

[@dianehghzn7670]

Those with eyes will see those that are blind cannot what a pity Maybe this will fall on deaf ears but if the right circumstances are not there even being bishops and such people then it simply doesnt happen for them in Buddhism and Hindu countries its called Karma if you havent got enough good merrit It just doesnt happen straight and simple those kids and people who did see the Holy Mother and were lifted of the ground is not impossible Saint Padre Pio appeared to people flying off into the sky like at the time the Americans were going to bomb a sacred place and the Saint appeared before their planes and made them turn around to spare this particular place it’s documented anyway i suppose either you believe it or not it could be right in front of your face and still not see it so nevermind I have said my piece thankyou so much bless you and have a great healthy 2024 ok ☮️💟☸️🕉️🌹💜😍🌏🍀🇦🇺🇦🇺🙏🙏🦘🦘🌈🌈💐🌻🍀🌏🌎💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙

I honestly don’t see why anyone should even be concerned over this. It’s a win win for believers. If your not safe in a house with sealed curtains and no candles, you die and go to heaven. If your safe inside you make it through to live in Gods Kingdom on earth. All the evil is destroyed so basically everything’s good. It’s like the Catholic version of the rapture. Same end result. But personally, I don’t believe either.

[@janadler3599]

You mentioned Fr. Mischel. What are your thoughts on Fr. Blount's visions and exorcisms?

[@angelicfedora1950]

Yes I wish Fr Blount had been covered. He makes me feel weird tbh and after watching a couple of his videos I can't watch him any more. He actually said he was transported to the office of THE Antichrist...he said it and then forgot about it. Cos if that were true then shouldn't we be talking about it? Seems pertinent to me! Plus it would mean the end of the world really is nigh which certainly deserves further discussion. No, I feel he's deceptive.

[@MrJustintreat]

I'm glad this was discussed. I first heard about it from Laura Horn's skit. I came into the Catholic Church couple years ago and never heard of this while i was a protestant.

[@kjvnews8326]

I left the Catholic Church and became a protestant. As a protestant, why didn't you read and STUDY the bible? There is NOTHING in the bible about three days of darkness. But there is A DAY (A SINGLE DAY) of darkness repeated over and over again in the bible. Almost all of the prophets wrote about this DARKNESS, clouds & gloominess preceding the Second Advent. These included the minor prophets and our LORD Jesus Christ. Here are MANY examples: ISAIAH - Behold, the DAY of the Lord cometh, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and he shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it. 10 For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light: the sun shall be DARKENED in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine. Isaiah 13:9,10) AMOS - And it shall come to pass in that DAY, saith the Lord God, that I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I will DARKEN the earth in the clear day: (Amos 8:9) The DAY of the LORD is DARKNESS and not light (Amos 5:18) JOEL - A DAY of DARKNESS and gloominess (Joel 2:2) EZEKIEL - For the DAY is near, even the DAY of the Lord is near, a CLOUDY DAY; it shall be the time of the heathen. (Ezekial 30:3) PSALM 97 - The Lord reigneth; let the earth rejoice; let the multitude of isles be glad thereof. CLOUDS AND DARKNESS are round about him: righteousness and judgment are the habitation of his throne. A fire goeth before him, and burneth up his enemies round about.4 His lightnings enlightened the world: the earth saw, and trembled.5 The hills melted like wax at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth. (Second Advent) ZEPHANIAH - The great DAY of the Lord is near, it is near, and hasteth greatly, even the voice of the day of the Lord: the mighty man shall cry there bitterly. 15 That DAY is a day of wrath, a day of trouble and distress, a day of wasteness and desolation, a day of DARKNESS AND GLOOMINESS, a day of clouds and thick darkness, (Zephaniah 1:14,15) JEREMIAH - Give glory to the Lord your God, before he cause DARKNESS, and before your feet stumble upon the dark mountains, and, while ye look for light, he turn it into the shadow of death, and make it gross DARKNESS. (Jer. 13:16) MATTHEW - Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be DARKENED, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: 30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. (Matt. 24:29,30).

@@kjvnews8326by leaving Jesus Christ because the Catholic Church IS Jesus Christ on earth his mystical body you’ve ceased to be Christian invalidated your baptism by self excommunication and are heading for HELL unless you repent and come home. Also the Bible is a Catholic book the protestant Bible is an incomplete and corrupted Catholic book for proof watch Steve Ray’s excellent testimony! (Steve Ray belonged to the Baptist CULT until he saw the true beauty of Catholicism which is everyone’s true home! Also you come out with all those scripture verse’s yet your true ignorance of sacred scripture is blatantly clear because if you truly new scripture and the teaching of the holy Catholic Church you would never have left the ONLY CHURCH there is for a man made protestant CULT. ONLY Jesus can found a Church which he did two thousand years ago called the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church which is his mystical body on earth! Also even the Bible talks about the verbal word ie sacred tradition. How satan has totally deceived you! Protestant’s belong to 40,000+ man made CULTS which are Pagan and anti Christ. To reject the holy Catholic Church IS to reject Jesus Christ himself! Just because you say it therefore it’s so - that’s very arrogant and spiritually arrogant my friend. God bless. Please watch the warning or illumination of conscience by Christine Watkins. Then Following Padre Pio - who shows the true beauty of Catholicism which is everyone’s true home! There’s NO salvation outside the holy Catholic Church because it’s the ONLY CHURCH. Same with baptism ONLY Catholic baptism is valid because there’s ONLY ONE CHURCH. Only Catholic’s go to Heaven because there’s NO division’s in paradise.

Could you also do an episode on Garabandal and the Prophecy of a Pope Visiting Moscow? The pope is visiting Mongolia and some people believe he will stop in Moscow on the way. It was said by Conchita in a long conversation with Weber in her house on November 14, 1965. It says, “The pope will go to Moscow. As soon as he returns to the Vatican, hostilities will break out in different parts of Europe.”

[@ToothTwister77]

Since Garabandal is not approved, I can't see Jimmy giving it any weight. The Garabadal prophecies began in 1961 just 6 years before VAT II, and I think a case could be made that this may have 'clouded' the church's ability to discern the Garabandal event properly; I mean, if it were a genuine appearance of our Lady, certainly Satan could and would create deception there to sully the event. Interestingly, the term 'synod' was conveyed to the visionaries. Even though the time has been using within the Church to describe a gathering of Bishops, the names are usually long and descriptive, like "The Synod (Extrodinary). Commemoration, Evaluation, and Promotion of Vatican Council II on the 20th Anniversary of Its Conclusion (Nov. 25-Dec. 8, 1985}- but the odds that a SYNOD ON SYNODALITY looms around the same time as a pope's first visit to Moscow, thus seeming to fulfill TWO of the Garabandal prophecies is extremely difficult to ignore.

[@stephencuskley5251]

War would break out in parts of Europe? Hmmm… It seems to me that you would have to be living under a rock not to notice that political commentators -- and religious commentators, alike -- have not only been ringing alarm bells about the possibility of Russia starting a war with NATO, but starting a NUCLEAR war. But if the pope goes to Moscow and war does break out, the prophecy will be ignored because people will say, “anybody could have seen war between Russia and NATO coming”.

[@davidet469]

​@@ToothTwister77yes, it is not approved..but NOT CONDEMED. ..it is still open. The REAL reason it is NOT approved is because of Her message ..MANY BISHOPS, CARDENALS AND PRIEST ARE ON THE ROAD TO PERDITION..etc.....and it is HAPPENING TODAY... And the church is infiltrated and THEY dont want to approve it because the prophecy is true. And PADRE PIO Himself said that the apparitions are TRUE and also stated that many would believe , until it's tooo late.

"How do you light the candle?" Refutes the entire thing for me. Why does God need to allow demon miasma? There's plenty of suffering and consequence of sin in the world already to punish everyone.

[@Urbanity_Kludge]

I don't buy the prophecy but, an easy answer is that you always keep a lit candle.

[@off-meta-michael]

@@Urbanity_Kludge okay....but when? Just start lighting a candle now until the day you die? Why not just live a catholic life and stop with the superstition that has no basis in history or scripture. Days of darkness is basically a human universal theme for bad times. There's no reason to believe there's a special candle that will save you.

[@Urbanity_Kludge]

@@off-meta-michael I'm not disagreeing with you. I'm just saying. The answer is yes light a candle and keep it lit everyday all day for the rest of your life. Solves the logical problem of what to do when the day of darkness comes. Except it's not coming because it's a myth.

@@Urbanity_Kludge i know you're not disagreeing, but you are trying to think of the argument for it so im responding...

I'm making a logical point. How do you like the thing? Is not a reputation of argument. Now circle back to whether or not the prophecy is actually real.

[@Shenanirats]

Back in the early 2000s my grandmother, mother and quite a number in their circle were big into the Three Days of Darkness, and "The Chastisement" as it was called. They got cheaply produced, photocopied pamplets in the mail, for a fee of course. They had blessed candle stashes, bottles of holy water, and what not. I was kinda "fire and brimstone" leaning at the time, and thought it was kinda cool, and interesting, but as the internet became more reliable and I dug into it, I realised it was essentially nonsense. A sort of "Catholic Rapture" in the mainstream Protestant sense of the word. And this was in wee ole NZL. Over the years I've seen it pop up in various Catholic circles, and of course, recently it's doing the rounds again.

DARKNESS THAT PRECEDES THE COMING OF OUR LORD: JOEL 2:10 The earth shall quake before them; the heavens shall tremble: the sun and the moon shall be dark, and the stars shall withdraw their shining: JOEL 2:31 31 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of the Lord come. JOEL 3:15 The sun and the moon shall be darkened, and the stars shall withdraw their shining. MATTHEW 24:29 29. Immediatly after the tribulation of those days, the sun will be darkened and the moon will not give it's light, and the stars will fall fro heaven and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken. MARK 13:24-37 24 “But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, 25 and the stars will be falling from heaven, and the powers in the heavens will be shaken. 26 And then they will see the Son of Man coming in clouds with great power and glory. 27 And then he will send out the angels and gather his elect from the four winds, from the ends of the earth to the ends of heaven. ACTS 2:20 (a repeat of Joel 31) The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and notable day of the Lord come: ISAIAH 13:10 For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine. ISAIAH 60:2 For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the Lord shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee. AMOS 8:9 “In that day,” declares the Sovereign Lord, “I will make the sun go down at noon and darken the earth in broad daylight." REVELATION 6:12-17 When he opened the sixth seal, I looked, and behold, there was a great earthquake, and the sun became black as sackcloth, the full moon became like blood, MARK 13:24 “In the days after that time of trouble the sun will grow dark, the moon will no longer shine, 25 the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers in space will be driven from their courses. 26 Then the Son of Man will appear, coming in the clouds with great power and glory EZEKIEL 32:7 And when I shall put thee out, I will cover the heaven, and make the stars thereof dark; I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon shall not give her light. ZEPHANIAH 1:15 15 That day will be a day of wrath- a day of distress and anguish, a day of trouble and ruin, a day of darkness and gloom, a day of clouds and blackness- ★★★END★★★ Protestants will be shocked and dismayted when the "rapture" does not occur. Instead we will pass through the 3 days darkness, and afterwards all will return to the true faith....the Catholic faith. The scripture verse that protestants use to back up the :rapture" (:Then we who alive on earth will be caught up in the air to meet the Lord") is about Judgement day...not a "rapture" If we read the preceding verses, it tells us that the dead will rise first. Many of the protestants who now attack the Lord's church will be lost unless they do some serious repenting

[@ochem123]

We are a the end of the 6th epoch (day) of creation; about to enter the 7th epoch (day) of rest. The future Church is now in labor; the world ends in about 1000 years. The new age is anticipated around 2030 A.D., when Jesus is expected to return to rule His Kingdom on Earth (“Thy Kingdom Come”). We are either going to inherit the greatest gifts from God or will go to hell for all eternity. You must learn to love God more than His creation in order to inherit it. Most of us are too attached to the stuff of this world, including our families, friends, money, etc. Just remember that it all comes from God and love Him and have a relationship with Jesus. 🔥 ♥️

Jesus said the only sign given is the sign of Jonah who spent 3 days in the belly of the great beast .Hope Jonah had a flashlight.... I underwent my personal 3 days of darkness 3 years ago i saw visions of the damned souls for 3 days about the time of the initial covid infection. I saw a continousl line of hopeless souls that were silent as they waited in a very slow moving line down into the deepest part of the Earth. They were all dressed in hospital gowns and their sadness was absolutely apparent .. This was before I was saved and I knew absolutely nothing about the Saints at that time. It was the beginning of my dark night of the soul. It brought me to a deep state of realization of the realness of God and a severe repentance that I still am in till this day...This happened in the initial pre-lock down period of Covid and I remember thinking why are they all in gowns ? Their demeanor was absolute sadness and hopelessness as they all knew their fate. And they could see me watching them it was 3 days of hell for myself as well. But it did bring me to repentance and I was the most ungodly of men in that time.

(46:30) Jimmy, I really think you could’ve been a little more precise and cautious when talking about slavery today, because obviously The Sound of Freedom just came out, and it’s much more popularly known just how many slaves there are today, with such a high proportion being young children with ‘that’ particular intent for them. I really don’t think that’s a great example for the world getting better.

Yes of course it is possible and the Truth is that this is the most evil time in history so why if God wiped out mankind with the flood, and Sodom and Gormorrah, 5 cities with fire and brimstone, then why would we be so prideful to think God would not send a chastisement to us. Pray the daily Holy Rosary for Religous Clergy and that we may have a Holy Vicar of Christ, as the Blessed Virgin warned that Satan would enter the church from the hierarchy down and many people would be led to perdition by the Wolves in Sheep's clothing.

Yes, the newness factor @53:15, but also people want righteous judgement administered. They want to see the good rewarded and the bad punished - a normal healthy desire generally. End times scenarios seem to satisfy, in varying degrees in some, a core hope to see ‘the world’ get its come-uppins or get straightened out. Given the chronic world-wide mess witnessed daily, this desire for God to bring it all to a just end then is understandable.

[@ToothTwister77]

Also people want righteous judgment administered. Nail on the head! I recognized that within myself recently, and it was a wake-up call. It is a human characteristic to put God on our own timeline, and when He doesn't respond to our liking we are too easily scandalized. Those of us interested in the study of eschatology often get too caught up with all the data, especially during uncertain times such as the ones we are currently living in-. Now add all this to WHAT WE SEE happening within the Vatican and the upcoming Synod. We are only left to trust in the Lord, the Author and Finisher of all things.

[@Fiat-Domine]

My assumption is that the blessed candles would already be lit as there would be at least some people in prayer during those terrible times. Faith filled souls pleading for mercy from God and the grace of conversion for their neighbor when the darkness falls. Otherwise, some very good points are made about the genesis of this private revelation.

[@bhgtree]

I think it's Michael to blame, since this was an episode of his show and not Jimmy's.

[@peterv7258]

@@MeanBeanComedy I did get that impression also, but blame is less important than awareness and just fixing the issue, which I am sure they could do.

Always curious about this subject, great topic

[@richarddelo3506]

I was told by the vice postulator of Blessed Anna Maria Taigi's cause in the US that she was being considered for canonization in the 70's but her cause was put on the back burner due to the idea that too many Italians were being canonized at that time.

[@NORTHGA]

I am really confused about this one. No one would survive!!! Everyone would look out the window. When there is anything, even a tornado, shooting,, a weird noise people are curious and would look outside. Million and millions of people would be outside. If you are in the house, you would die, there are cracks, openings in your house. All the bad air things would leak in your house. 😊😊

[@daughter-of-christ]

God is not of confusion

[@SteveAubrey1762]

Thank God for Mr. Akins! Im a new Catholic convert, and a priest I trust was warning the congregation about this 3 days of darkness. I had never heard of it , and was a tad worried.And he does have beeswax candles for sale😬So should I discount all his teaching, I wonder?

[@susand3668]

Not ALL his teachings, perhaps.

[@Mixer-he2wb]

Thank you. The only thing that I think could add to the discussion are the points on darkness in scripture.

[@queenkimi00]

Just saw something on KZbin today atributing this prophecy to Padre Pio , containing the same long quote .

[@ericfaith2810]

Something else I can like without having heard it yet! 😂 🙏🕊️🙏

[@1consecratedtoGod]

Saint Faustina’s diary talks of the three days of darkness. And I believe the Garabadal children ( I think Conchita) was told of the three days of darkness

[@JacobMaximilian]

I don’t think sr Faustina mentions three days, but merely a purgation and the cross which will illumine the sky etc

[@Apac088]

I got fire that never dies and doesn't consume, I got living water pouring out my heart.

Along with reasons already stated, another situation that could have contributed to the production of the erroneous quote is the language barrier. A not so exact translation could have got the quote ball rolling.

[@johnjennings9693]

Im asking this question for awhile can any one answer if one leaves home on dark morning how do you know that it's not the day are you supposed to bring the blessed candles everywhere any answers thanks,

[@christibritton1436]

Possible answer to how blessed candles are lit - always have one burning before darkness begins.

[@ochem123]

Another possible answer: God will miraculously let your match work to light the Blessèd candle, another is that you pray to avoid for help. People forget that God is ALWAYS with them. Get yourself a minimum of three months’ of food before society collapses and the Antichrist is in power. People have already started taking the mark voluntarily; it will eventually cease to be involuntary 🔥 ♥️

There are too many internet trolls going around making up things. Someone started a rumor that Sr Sasagawa ( Our Lady of Akita)got another message message in 2019 right before COVID and a priest with a podcast started spreading it . I went to Akita last year and found out she has not been in Akita for many years and she has been hidden away not allowed to speak. This priests to this day is spreading this without checking the sources.

[@paperclip612]

Yes, I've heard that Sr Sasagawa has been 'hidden away' and forbidden to speak. Add that to the very odd change to the facial features of Sr Lucy of Fatima - during the Pontificate of JP2....

May I ask why "looking into an orb" is considered from Divine intervention?

[@valwhelan3533]

Is this true? Who knows. I remember Fr. Mark Goring once saying, in a video (and I paraphase) - if you are Catholic and you don't have a blessed candle, you just aren't cool. (he said that with a big smile on his face...)

[@martincorneille7998]

If Catholics spent as much time studying the most reliable of revelation, i.e. Holy Scripture, as they are dwelling on obscure private revelations , the Church would be so much holier

[@roddycavin4600]

You will hear the bible in its entirety every three years if you go to mass.

[@RestoreJustice675]

Exodus 10 : 21, 22, 23 "Then the LORD said to Moses: Stretch out your hand toward the sky, that over the land of Egypt there may be such darkness* that one can feel it. So Moses stretched out his hand toward the sky, and there was dense darkness throughout the land of Egypt for three days. People could not see one another, nor could they get up from where they were, for three days. But all the Israelites had light where they lived." Fr Mark Beard once preached that "If it happened in the old testament, it happens in the new testament, but better" (paraphrased) I.E. : Adam -Jesus Eve - Mary Joseph - Joseph Old covenant Bringing of a lamb to the Temple - Jesus brought a Lamb to the Temple while Jesus being the Lamb. That which happened in the Old Covenant being fulfilled in the new but better. Point being there is a biblical old testament precedent for the Three Days of Darkness. As I read it Marie Julie Jehenny was supposedly an approved mystic, and stigmatic. Her writings or at least what I've seen of them seem to be worth considering. Back in the 70's or 80's, a guy called "The Little Pebble" who turned out to be a fraud. Jeremiah 25 : 31, 32, 33, "The uproar spreads to the end of the earth; For the LORD has an indictment against the nations, he enters into judgment against all flesh: The wicked shall be given to the sword-oracle of the LORD. Thus says the LORD of hosts: Look! disaster stalks nation after nation; A violent storm surges from the recesses of the earth. On that day, those whom the LORD has slain will be strewn from one end of the earth to the other. They will not be mourned, they will not be gathered, they will not be buried; they shall lie like dung upon the ground." (Per the Three days of Darkness it says 2/3 of Humanity will perish) Per Zechariah 14 : 12 "And this shall be the plague wherewith the Lord shall strike all nations that have fought against Jerusalem: the FLESH OF EVERY ONE SHALL CONSUME (rot) AWAY WHILE THEY STAND UPON THEIR FEET, AND THEIR EYES SHALL CONSUME AWAY IN THEIR HOLES, (sockets) and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth." (Biblical Picture of nuclear war. Never before has the world had the ability to destroy itself as it does today). 2 Peter 3 tells us that the world will be destroyed by FIRE. 2 Peter 3 : 3 thru 7 "Know this first of all, that in the last days scoffers will come [to] scoff, living according to their own desires and saying, “Where is the promise of his coming? From the time when our ancestors fell asleep, everything has remained as it was from the beginning of creation.” They deliberately ignore the fact that the heavens existed of old and earth was formed out of water and through water by the word of God; through these the world that then existed was destroyed, deluged with water. The present heavens and earth have been reserved by the same word for fire, kept for the day of judgment and of destruction of the godless. Isaiah 13 : 9 thru 13 "Indeed, the day of the LORD comes, cruel, with wrath and burning anger; To lay waste the land and destroy the sinners within it! The stars of the heavens and their constellations will send forth no light; The sun will be dark at its rising, and the moon will not give its light. Thus I will punish the world for its evil and the wicked for their guilt. I will put an end to the pride of the arrogant, the insolence of tyrants I will humble. I will make mortals more rare than pure gold,human beings, than the gold of Ophir. For this I will make the heavens tremble and the earth shall be shaken from its place, At the wrath of the LORD of hosts on the day of his burning anger." Joel 2 : 1,2,3, "Blow the horn in Zion, sound the alarm on my holy mountain! Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble, for the day of the LORD is coming!Yes, it approaches, a day of darkness and gloom, a day of thick clouds! Like dawn spreading over the mountains, a vast and mighty army! Nothing like it has ever happened in ages past, nor will the future hold anything like it, even to the most distant generations. Before it,* fire devours, behind it flame scorches. The land before it is like the garden of Eden, and behind it, a desolate wilderness; from it nothing escapes.".... Isaiah 34 : 1, 2 "Come near, nations, and listen; be attentive, you peoples! Let the earth and what fills it listen, the world and all it produces. The LORD is angry with all the nations, enraged against all their host; He has placed them under the ban, given them up to slaughter."... Isaiah 34 : 8,9, 10 "For the LORD has a day of vengeance, a year of requital for the cause of Zion. Edom’s streams shall be changed into pitch, its soil into sulfur, and its land shall become burning pitch; Night and day it shall not be quenched, its smoke shall rise forever. From generation to generation it shall lie waste, never again shall anyone pass through it"... Most of what I have posted is the word of God. I could keep searching out these scriptures. But if these don't cause one to see that one day God will bring darkness and fire upon the earth and His enemies, then another 50 verses won't either. Why is it so hard to believe that the Lord will one day bring darkness and fire upon the earth? As Isaiah tells us, (Paraphrasing) "The slain of the Lord will be from one end of the earth to the other". You say why now? I say why not now? What more can mankind do to offend God? I'm sure we will find many more ways. At least until the time when God Says "Enough is enough". Every Word of God (not mine) will be fulfilled. Not one Jot nor one tittle will be left undone. Praise be to you Lord Jesus Christ.

[@davidagudelo2435]

It is not disbelieving He will do those things. Is disbelieving those things will happen in 3 days, and that all of that will (if it has not already happened locally in the OT) in accordance to a quote of a Spiritual Director quoting a Mystic 23 years after her dead.

[@stevehammett2008]

Michael Lofton's attitude, and behavior (at times) during this interview, seems to be dismissive and disrespectful of the matter being discussed. I find this to be off-putting.

Michael laughs and scoffs at absolutely non-credible, ridiculous, stupendously stupid and unverifiable claims by crack-pots who are talking absolute rubbish. Because that's what these 'prophesies' deserve. If this offends you, perhaps you're giving too much credence to the crack-pots....

I wonder if the 'pastor' John Nelson Darby and the late William Miller of the Millerite infamy ever heard anything like this? 🤔 I've already heard an actual 'ceeepypasta' story about this that sounded like something out of an H.P. Lovecraft-inspired story or movie. Somehow I doubt that the Plymouth Brethren would have heard of Blessed Maria Taigi.

[@ericfaith2810]

I also keep hearing that Saint Padre Pio supposedly spoke of this. As for these fascinating mystical suns, spheres, or orbs, Jim Bakker's ministry goes hogwild on how 'demonic' it all is. I wish I could tell him on his show, 'yes Jim, it could be daemonic.' And then educate him about the interesting 'real' supernatural world.

[@agustinvaladez7370]

I cant recall th details specifically about the blessed candles. But by the grace of God the candles will light up and will not burn out no matter the size, as long as they're 100% made of beeswax and blessed. But these blessed candles will not light up in the houses of the wicked. Just on a quick note, also of you have "the purple scapular" ot will give out light inside the home as if it were day light, during the three days of darkness.

[@TheBurningWarrior]

Almost clicked off when reason and theology opening started playing. Nobodies got time in their life or charity to spare to waste it on catholic drama tube, but Jimmy Akins face assured me I hadn't misclicked just wound up in a wierd crossover; still not sure I'm gonna watch though, just as I would probably skip a Jimmy interview with Taylor Marshall (and for similar reasons. One tears down the church with blows to the visible head, and the other with blows to it's body; they also both started out with a lot of promise and then went suddenly and powerfully downhill; Corruptio optimi pessima). Hopefully Lofton will stop burning bridges (at a prodigious rate no fleeing army has yet met or exceeded) and start mending fences instead; then he can go back to offering solid popularization of his good work on the magisterium.

[@ToothTwister77]

Well said. I think Lofton and Marshall are now playing for youtube likes and that has tainted much of what they are doing; Marshall seems to have allowed his old 'Protesting' ways into his discernment of the things we see taking place within the Church under Francis' Pontificate and leading up to the upcoming Synod. What praytell was it though that sent them downhill so quickly? Could it have been due to what we have seen and heard from Pope Francis? The ambiguity and apparent dislike of older Catholic rites? While I agree that we mustn't attack the visible head of the Catholic Church (especially as Catholics!), we can certainly use our senses and brains to discern what might possibly be coming to the Church under Francis. Do you know what that is? Nor do I. but if I had to make a prediction, it is a schism that is coming.

[@glanmire1]

Jimmy, it would amazing if you could do an interview with Conchita Gonzalez/Keena of Garabandal. What do you reckon?

[@maureenbanks3702]

You know I'm not so worried about the three days of darkness. When I was 12 I read a quaint little book my grandmother had on it it seems to be backed up by a lot of scripture or maybe it fell in line with things certain saints said honestly I don't remember I used to be scared of that prophecy but I'm not anymore and I don't know why. There's some other prophecies by people like servant of God, Luisa piccarreta that really do concern me. However, I do not mock this prophecy, like you. If you think your guys's tones and inferences aren't totally obvious, they are. I wish you would talk with the same tone and attitude towards Seventh-Day Adventist.

[@ericfaith2810]

The prophecy of the Monarch? I never knew it had a connection to the 'three days.' Clouds of darkness, okay, I have one of those on my phone that I also saw in a Netflixovie that is one of the most repulsive movies about a so+called 'monastic' community. It's a Polish movie known as 'Hellhole.' A simple, awful name, I know. This movie was made in 2022. Something incredibly ironic and kind of scary happened in that year ss well. A rather large sinkhole opened up in a parking lot in Jerusalem. I'm not really trying to connect any dots with this, but it is on my list of very anomylous or strange occurences. May God bless we 'spiritual watchmen.' Once again Jimmy, I was saddened, but relieved that Saint Michael andwered the prayer on behalf of the actor Julian Sands' family. Im sorry my posts are as long as they are. I'll have to look for a Catholic slternative to Facebook. I had too many problems there. Twitter is another one, and I don't trust Elon Musk. If anyone can share a link, I'd sure appreciate it.

[@jerryczarski5991]

The most natural way the Earth can be in total darkness for three days is some sort of space phenomenon like a thick drifting dust cloud that gets between us and the sun. I am sure we would notice this well in advance. Some sort of super-volcanic activity would be another thought. But I would say that type of natural disaster would have years of implications.

[@elaine-ellen-marie2615]

When I was ill several years ago, I lived in a different town that made it easy for me to attend daily Mass. I vividly remember a dream I had back then and often wondered what it meant. In my dream, I was walking along my usual path to Mass in daylight. Suddenly everything went black. Pitch black, the street lights that always came on at dusk, were off. Complete blackness. That was how my dream ended, and I then woke up. I have never had a dream like that before. It starts off in bright daylight, then suddenly I was in complete blackness. I felt that dream had a spiritual meaning, but what was it?

[@tinakohf]

This dream could have a personal message to you. Maybe your faith became dry? Maybe you felt God wasn’t listening to your prayers? Maybe you had a personal period of darkness?

What is your opinion on alleged mystic Luz de Maria? [light of Mary]. Also the alleged visions at Garabandal, Spain? Allegedly St Padre Pio and St Teresa of Calcutta have said 'Yes' but Pope St Paul VI and every Bishop of Santander since the alleged apparitions have said 'No'. However neither Pope Paul, nor any of the Bishops made a definitive statement, so, unlike Bayside, it has not been condemned.
