The Fatima Prophecy says:
“I shall come to ask for the Consecration of Russia to My Immaculate Heart … If people attend to My requests, Russia will be converted and the world will have peace.” [1]
This is said to be the message delivered by the Virgin Mary to three young shepherd children in Fatima, Portugal, in 1917. Most Catholics believe that when Pope John Paul II consecrated the entire world to the Virgin Mary in 1983, he fulfilled this prophecy. [2] However, many Catholics contend that the Virgin Mary’s instructions were not followed because Pope John Paul II did not specifically mention “Russia.” Now Pope Francis will consecrate Russia and Ukraine to the Immaculate Heart of Mary on Friday, March 25, 2022 [3], and many today believe that this will finally fulfill the Virgin Mary’s command to consecrate Russia, ushering in a period of peace and prosperity for the entire world.
Mary, Jesus’ mother, died and was buried a long time ago. According to God’s word, the dead do not participate in anything that happens in our world because they are unaware of anything (Ecclesiastes 9:5, 6). According to Jesus, death is a sleep (John 11:11), and all the dead will one day hear the voice of God and come to life either in the resurrection of “life” or the resurrection of “damnation” (John 5:25–29). So, what about all of the messages and visions supposedly coming from the Virgin Mary?
“The doctrine of man’s consciousness in death, especially the belief that the spirits of the dead return to minister to the living, has prepared the way for modern Spiritualism … If, as taught by popular theologians, the spirits of the dead are hovering about their friends on earth, why should they not be permitted to communicate with them, to warn them against evil, or to comfort them in sorrow? How can those who believe in man’s consciousness in death reject what comes to them as divine light communicated by glorified spirits? Here is a channel regarded as sacred, through which Satan works for the accomplishment of his purposes. The fallen angels who do his bidding appear as messengers from the spirit world. While professing to bring the living into communication with the dead, the prince of evil exercises his bewitching influence upon their minds” (Great Controversy, p. 551).
To fulfill the Fatima Prophecy, Pope Francis now wants to consecrate Russia to the Virgin Mary. They believe that obeying the instructions from these “apparitions of Mary” will bring hope and peace to our troubled world. This is, in reality, a deception, and the enemy is leading billions of people into a snare. Spiritualism has deceived the world with its “apparitions” and this work is a fulfillment of prophecy, but not the prophecy of Fatima, God’s prophecy:
“Satan has long been preparing for his final effort to deceive the world. The foundation of his work was laid by the assurance given to Eve in Eden: ‘Ye shall not surely die.’ ‘In the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.’ Genesis 3:4, 5. Little by little he has prepared the way for his masterpiece of deception in the development of spiritualism. He has not yet reached the full accomplishment of his designs; but it will be reached in the last remnant of time. Says the prophet: ‘I saw three unclean spirits like frogs….They are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.’ Revelation 16:13, 14. Except those who are kept by the power of God, through faith in His word, the whole world will be swept into the ranks of this delusion” (Maranatha, 166).
Mary Falls Down
According to Catholic doctrine, Mary is the “Queen of Heaven,” and her role is to help sinners by interceding for them. In the video above, we see a fundamental problem with Mary. Mary can’t even protect herself from falling. How can she protect us and bring world peace when she can’t even help herself?
