San Sebastian de Garabandal is a small
village in northwest Spain. Starting in June 1961 , an apparition
said to be the Virgin Mary appeared to four young girls of the
village. During this four-year period. More than 2000 appearances in
all- some lasting several hours in length have been reported.
Conchita Gonzales (the principle
spokesperson with the Apparition) Mari Loli Mazon, Jacinta Gonzalez;
and Mari Cruz Gonzalez .
According to Conchita, the Virgin
told her that after the third Pope - {1)
- then will come the end of time but not the end of the world
. This statement in itself opens or reopens a
whole panorama of philosophical debate, there is a mystical school
of thought that postulates the idea that In this eternal present,
our sense of the passage of time is nothing more than a giant cosmic
illusion. Basically this whole existence we are experiencing at this
moment is little more than a training ground for our future
existence, at a timeless time where there is no time. When the
Harvest of souls arrives we'll arrive at Heaven/ Nirvanna in the
next dimension . {See
End of Time}
Whenever true apparitions and
visions of The Lady have materialized, the message is generally
similar: If we don't change our ways, God would come in his anger
and glory, and the world as we know it would end. With the
Prophecies of prophecies of Garabandal and Medjugorje this has
all changed. The warnings are gone; their absence implies that
perhaps our time is up and we should have acted sooner. In any
event this apparition is Prophesizing the end of reality as we know
it, and the dawn of a New Reality. As a Species We
survived the Twentieth Century, with all it's pitfalls and
hazards --- Now what ?
A
PERMANENT SUPERNATURAL SIGN
will remain at the pines after the Miracle until the end of
time. If, after the
WARNING and
MIRACLE, the world
still does not change, then the
CHASTISEMENT will
come.

The Story of Garabandal
The girls were playing when they
heard a sound like thunder. They claim an angel suddenly stood
before them . The entity said nothing and quickly disappeared.
Over the next twelve days the angel appeared to them several more times
and then on July 1, he spoke , announcing that on the following day the
Blessed Virgin would appear to them as
"Our Lady of Mount Carmel." {

She is looking up to where the Apparition is
allegedly at, the other girls haven't even
taken notice.

On July 2, many priests were among the
visitors who joined the villagers to witness this event.
While they were headed for the
rendezvous spot where they had
been seeing the angel , the apparition said to be the Blessed Virgin appeared with an angel on
each side. They recognized one of the angelic apparitions as the one who had
previously
appeared to them,
the other looked identical.
Above the Marian apparition was a large eye that the
children thought to be the eye of God. Which sounds similar to the
Eye of Horus . They spoke openly and familiarly
with their Heavenly Mother and said the
rosary in her presence. Over the
next year and a half the "Lady" would appear hundreds of times frequently
appearing several times a day.

Look Closely at
the face of the priest in the picture , he is
in what is referred to as Ecstasy, {No, I didn't say
he was on ecstasy. I said he was in ecstasy, you can't
find this kind of ecstasy in a pill} at the moment
this picture was taken he is experiencing an
incredible vision of the future as portrayed by the
Apparition. {Also look closely at the
Gentleman with the tie behind the woman with the
kerchief on her head. } This was the priests last
day on Earth.

On the night of August 8, 1961,
while observing the visionaries in ecstasy, Fr. Luis
cried out four times, "Miracle!" On the drive home
with friends later that night and into the next
morning he exclaimed, "What a wonderful present
the Virgin has given me! How lucky to have a mother
like that in heaven...Today is the happiest day of
my life!" Shortly after
pronouncing these words he lowered his head and
died.
Fr.
Luis Andreu, a Jesuit priest, saw the Virgin Mary at Garabandal as
well as a preview of the Great Miracle. He died within hours after
observing the visionaries in ecstasy. It has been predicted that
after the Miracle at Garabandal, his body will be found incorrupt.

By the end of January, 1963, the
visions had ceased for Mari Loli, Jacinta and Mari Cruz. Only
Conchita continued to have visions but they were fewer and farther
apart. However, at this time, Conchita and Mari Loli began to
experience visions, without any accompanying apparition. In
most instances of apparitions, such as that at Fatima, the
apparition has chosen individuals with certain attributes, they are
generally children, females predominantly. As the girls aged, they
lost the ability or the attribute necessary to communicate with the
apparition. There is a certain quality in some people that
makes them more susceptible , more accessible to the apparitions.
In the instance of
Estelle Faguette in 1876
Estelle was receiving prophetic apparitions of the Virgin,
for subsequent nights . On one night the apparition did not appear,
but came the following evening and told Estelle that she {Estelle}
had spoiled the apparition of the previous night. Which would
indicate that a certain frame of mind is required, which Estelle Faguette
did not poses on that night and the young ladies from Garabandal
lost as they aged.

A WORLD-WIDE WARNING
This Warning from God will be seen and then felt interiorly by everyone
on earth. At that moment we will see the wrong we've done and the good
we failed to do. The Warning will be sent to correct the conscience of
the world and prepare it for the great Miracle.
Notes on "The Warning"
A GREAT MIRACLE
The Miracle will take place at the grove of pine trees on a bluff
overlooking the village of Garabandal. It will occur on a Thursday
evening at 8:30 on or between the eighth and the sixteenth of March,
April or May. It will be on the feast day of
a martyr of the Eucharist and coincide with and event in the Church. All
those either in the village or on the surrounding mountains will see it.
The sick who are present will be cured, sinners converted and the
incredulous will believe. As a result of the Miracle, Russia will be
converted. Notes on
"The Miracle"
PERMANENT SIGN
After the Miracle, a permanent visible supernatural "sign" will remain
at the pines until the end of time.
Notes on "The Sign"
THE CHASTISEMENT
If the world still does not change after the Miracle, then God will send
the Chastisement.
Notes on "The Chastisement"
Testimony Of an angelic apparition
said to be Archangel Michael to Conchita
"The power and wisdom of God is not confined to the creation of man and
the material world. Beyond man millions of creatures exist, far more
perfect than man. The angelic nature is a whole world of perfection,
angels are spiritual substances, incorruptible by nature, entirely free
from infirmities which compass us on every side. They are all brightness
and beauty, their loveliness surpasses all united charms of earth.
Their intelligence is Godlike for the knowledge extends to all truths of
the natural order. They are acquainted with all secrets of nature and
all that remains hidden from the greatest minds that ever existed.
They
know without labor countless things at the same time and in an instant
of time, unaccompanied with doubt or obscurity. They know everything at
a glance."

Marian Prophecies
The Words of the Apparition, at Garabandal given to Conchita
Gonzales in 1961 & 1965.
OCTOBER 18, 1961: "Many sacrifices must be
made. Much penance must be done. We must be very good. If we do not do
this, punishment awaits us. Already the cup is filling, and
if we do not change we
shall be punished."
JUNE 18, 1965: "As my message of October 18 has not been complied with
and has not been made known to the world, I am advising you that this is
the last one. Before, the cup was filling up. Now it is flowing over.
Many cardinals, many bishops and many priests are on the road to
perdition and are taking many souls with them. Less and less importance
is being given to the Eucharist. You should turn the wrath of God away
from yourselves by your efforts. If
you ask His forgiveness with sincere hearts, He will pardon
you. You are now receiving the last warnings. I love you very much and
do not want your condemnation. Pray to us with sincerity and we will
grant your requests. You should make more sacrifices. Think about the
passion of Jesus."
In addition, the visionaries claimed that they were given a series of
frightening warnings about the future. Each of the girls stated that
Mary told them about a series of four extraordinary events which would
reflect God's concern for the state to which humanity had fallen. These
events were reported to be:
A worldwide warning to be experienced by everyone on earth. Its purpose
will be to call humanity to amend its behavior and return to God.
A great miracle that will occur in the late winter or early spring
within one year after the warning.
Permanent signs that will remain for all time at a pine grove near
Garabandal and other selected locations of Marian apparitions.
A terrible chastisement during which many will die. Other prophecies
indicate that this chastisement will eliminate up to two-thirds of
humanity. The chastisement depends upon the response of humanity to the
warning and the miracle.
The Warning
Conchita has stated,
"The Warning, like the Chastisement, is a fearful thing for the good
as well as the wicked. It will draw the good closer to God and warn the
wicked that the end of times are coming."
Jacinta has said,
"The Warning is something that is seen in the air, everywhere in the
world and is immediately transmitted into the interior of our souls. It
will last a very little time, but it will seem a very long time because
of its effect within us. It would be like fire. It will not burn our
flesh, but we will feel it bodily and interiorly
" She goes on to describe astronomical phenomena: "like two stars --
that crash and make a lot of noise, and a lot of light -- but they don't
fall. It's not going to hurt us but we're going to see it and, in that
moment, we're going to see our consciences."
In addition to these events, Conchita has stated that she was told by
the Blessed Virgin in 1962 that after the death of Pope John XXIII, "There
would be two more popes after Pope Paul VI and that one of the popes
would have a very short reign. After that would come the end times but
not the end of the world." {In agreement with the
Prophecies of Malachy }
If Conchita has interpreted this vision of Mary correctly, then Pope
John Paul II is the last of the popes before the end times begin.
Conchita said that she has been given the date of the Miracle by the
Blessed Virgin and will announce the date eight days before it is to
occur.
Since the Miracle will occur after the Warning, it is highly likely
that both the Warning and Miracle will occur within the next thirty
years given Conchita's present age (late forties) if this apparition is
valid.
Conchita has said in her Diary,
"I am the only one to whom the Blessed Virgin spoke of the miracle.
She forbade me to say what it will consist of. I can't announce the date
either until eight days before it is due to occur. What I can reveal is
that it will coincide with an event in the Church and with the feast of
a saint, martyr of the Eucharist; that it will take place at 8:30 on a
Thursday evening; that it will be visible to all those who are in the
village and surrounding the mountains; that the sick who are present
will be cured, and the incredulous will believe. It will be the greatest
miracle that Jesus will have performed for the world. There won't be the
slightest doubt that it comes from God and that it is for the good of
mankind."
On September 14, 1965, Conchita said, "The sign that will remain forever
at the pines is something we will be able to photograph, televise, and
see, but not touch. It will be evident that it is not a thing of this
world but from God."
At another time, concerning the great miracle she added, "It would
last about 15 minutes."
On August 10, 1971, "It will take place on or between the
eighth and sixteenth of March, April or May. It will not happen in
February or June."
Eight days in advance of the miracle ,Conchita will give notice to
the world about its coming. Prior to the eight-day notice, God will send
a warning to the entire world to purify it for the great miracle.
Therefore, the world will receive two advance notices: the warning and
the eight-day notice.

other major apparitions, in fact it is identical to that of
Fatima
