Signs of the Times  

   On this most important day, December 7th, anniversary of Pearl Harbor, in commemoration of those lives that were lost to uphold our freedom and liberties we enjoy today, it is appropriate that we explore this important series of apparitions of Our Lady and Eucharistic experiences fom Jesus from the years 1945-1959.....

     During 14 years of reported apparitions of Our Lady to Dutch seeress, Ida Perleman, roughly 60 messages were delivered, in additions to messages delivered by Jesus - some of which will follow --  During the first 5 years of apparitions, no mention is made of this title.  The Lady herself gives the explanation, "The dogma of the Assumption had to come first.  The last and greatest Marian dogma will follow it."    ( Aug. 15, 1951) 
          On Nov. 1, 1950, Pope Pius XII solemnly proclaimed the dogma of the Blessed Virgin Mary's Assumption into Heaven.  The first message after that date is on Nov. 16, 1950, in which the new title, "Lady of all Nations", is mentioned for the first time.  From then on, it occurs more than 150 times in the messages.

     "I am the Lady-Mary-Mother of All Nations.  You may say, "The Lady of All Nations" or "Mother of All Nations."  I wish to be known as this.  Let all the children of men, of all the countries in the world be one!  Seek and ask only for the True Holy Spirit. (Feb. 11, 1951)

     Then the Lady draws my attention to the globe on which she is standing.  Snow is falling all around her.  "Now, I will explain to you the reason for my coming today:  Just as the snowflakes whirl over the earth and fall upon the ground in a thick layer, so the prayer and the picture will spread all over the world and penetrate into the hearts of all nations.  As the carpet of snow melts into the ground, so will the fruit, which is the Spirit, come into the hearts of all..A great movement has to be set on foot for the Son, for the Cross, and for the Advocate, the bearer of peace and tranquility--The Lady of All Nations."  You, child, have to cooperate without fear or dread.  Spiritually and physically you will suffer...Tell them that it is urgent.  The world is becoming so degenerate, so materialistic, that it is high time to bring the simple faith again among the people.  And this is all they need--the Cross with the Son of Man.  You, grown-ups of this world, do teach your children to return to the Cross.  I shall help them as the Lady of All Nations."  (Apr. 1, 1951)

        "I wish to be made known to those people who are being kept away from the Son.  Do save the people who are forced to turn away from Him.  You are duty bound to do so.  The world is degenerating, so much so that it was necessary for the Father and the Son to send me into the world among all the peoples in order to be their Advocate and to save them.  This time is our time."  (Apr. 29, 1951)

       "Now I wish to be the Lady of All Nations.  Great and important events are drawing near--in the spiritual, economic and material spheres.  In the spiritual realm--spiritual undermining!  (Sept. 20, 1951)

        "You will have to endure a great deal as yet in this century.  You nations of this era, do realize that you are under the protection of the Lady of All Nations; call upon Her as the Advocate; ask her to stave off disasters; ask her to banish degeneration from this world.  Degeneration breeds wars.  You young people will see enormous changes. The world has lost its bearings?  Well, then, nations, put your trust in your Mother who has never forsaken her children."  (May 31, 1955) 

        The Lady points to the earth..and there I see in the dark written in large characters, "TRUTH."  The Lady says to me, "You must warn them.  Truth has been lost."  (Feb 25, 1946)

     "Men have not yet realized in how serious a plight the world is.  Because people grow superficial, they cannot realize how much harm is being done to the faith.  (Apr. 15, 1951)

     "Nations, whoever or whatever you may be, turn to your Creator with all your needs.  Oh, learn to find Him wherever you are.  Ask the Lady of All Nations that she be your Advocate.  (Nov. 15, 1951) 

     "All nations groan  under the yoke of Satan.  I warn all the nations of the world.  Time is serious and pressing."  Now the Lady points to the globe, saying, "I will let you see what is going to happen.  It is by dint of terrible strife and calamity that the world with all those who have turned away from the Blessed Trinity, will come back to the Church.  Bring all nations back to their Creator."  (Dec. 31, 1951)

    "People are being bewildered and led in the wrong direction....Just look at all those countries!  Nowhere is unity to be found, nowhere peace, nowhere repose for the nations...The Lord Jesus Christ lets this be..His time will come."  (June 15, 1952)

      "The Enemy of our Lord Jesus Christ has worked slowly but effectively.  His posts are manned; his work is almost finished.  Nations, take warning: the spirit of untruth, lies and deceit is carrying many away...The Churches will be undermined still more.  A heavy responsibility rests upon the people of these times.  Educators and parents, take care of the young.  Do show them the way to the True Church...You have no idea how serious and difficult these times are."   (Dec. 8, 1952)

      "Nations, come back and try to find your simple faith.  Acknowledge your Creator and be grateful.  This is no longer to be found among mankind, a perverse spirit governs the world.  A modern paganism, humanism, atheism, modern socialism, and communism control the world.  Beware of the false prophets!  The Lady of All Nations cannot tell you this often enough, nor warn you sufficiently.  Do listen, everyone!  The Lord who sends me to warn you, is the same Lord Who once was sacrificed for mankind...Oh, you do not know what tremendous forces are threatening this world.  Nations, do search for the truth."  (May 10, 1953)

       "o not lead your children astray; do not misguide the least of my children; you are responsible before your Lord Jesus Christ (and the Lady repeats with emphasis) you bear the responsibility...alarming inventions will be made.  God permits this; but you, nations, can make sure that it does not result in disaster....I will comfort you...Nations, your mother knows what life is like, your Mother is familiar with sorrow.  Your Mother knows what the cross means.  Whatever you suffer in this life, your Mother, the Lady of All Nations, suffered before you.  She has shown you the way in her own person....But she went up to the Father.  She returned to her Son.  You, too, nations, go to the Father along the way of the Cross; you, too, go to the Son along the same way of the Cross; the Holy spirit will help you to do this.  Implore Him now.  I cannot repeat this often enough to the world: have recourse to the Holy Spirit now.  You will obtain help.  Go back to the Church.  When the time of the Lord Jesus Christ has come, you will see that false prophets, war, discord, and dissensions will disappear."  (July 2, 1951) 

     "Fear nothing...The powers of hell will break loose, but they will not prevail against the Lady of All Nations."  (Dec. 3, 1953)
