“ In the Old Covenant I sent prophets wielding thunderbolts
to My people. Today I am sending you with My Mercy to the
people of the whole world. I do not want to punish aching
mankind, but I desire to heal it, pressing it to My Merciful Heart.
I use punishment when they themselves force Me to do so. My
Hand is reluctant to take hold of the Sword of Justice. Before
the Day of Justice I am sending the Day of Mercy.”
(1588)
“ Before I come as the Just judge, I am coming first as King of
Mercy. Before the Day of Justice arrives, there will be given to
people a sign in the heavens of this sort:
All light in the heavens will be extinguished, and there will be
great darkness over the whole earth. Then the sign of the
Cross will be seen in the sky, and from the openings where the
hands and the feet of the Saviour were nailed will come forth
great lights, which will light up the earth for a period of time.
This will take place shortly before the last day.”
