Signs of the Times  

    Because God, my dear children, has so much in you invested,
        That is why you ae constantly being tried and tested.
    As God's Sword now continues to this earth to purify,
         To help save those who strayed be on you must rely.

     Who else beside you would carry such crosses?
         Who else would go forth in spite of your losses?
      You claim that God's plan you do not understand,
          But where would you be now without God in command?

       Even the apostles who followed my Son's trail,
           Stumbled and doubted and did many times fail.
       And yet, my Son, Jesus, abandoned them not
            Even though there were times what he said they forgot.
 
       With the crosses you carry, my Son can relate,
           Where he too asked His Father the cup to dissipate.
        I know that this journey is hard and is long,
            Even though you feel weak, in God's eyes you are strong.



      Remember, dear children, when Church bells used to ring?
         When choirs used to gather and God's glory did sing?
       When altars that stood, God's glory to reflect?
      Compared to what was, is there now some neglect?

       How many Churches still the sations display,
           Showing how my Son, Jesus, walked along on His Way?
       Confessionals once lined both sides of the aisle;
           Now when you enter some Churches, can you find one at all?

        When you take my Son's Body and Blood in your hand,
            Is this how it should be, or do you not understand?
         Tabernacles were once in a revernt place,
             And now in some Churches, there is an empty space.

       How strong, my dear children, is the new foundation,
           When so much that was      is now in isolation?
        But in spite, my dear children, of the ongoing void,
            The Church on the Rock will not be destroyed.

       The Church will first have to go underground
           And will return even stronger once Satan is bound.
         So, in spite of the turmoil that still lies ahead,
            do not, my dear children, be by Satan misled.

        The time is approaching and will soon come to pass
             When you'll meet at a refuge to celebrate Mass.
         You will then, my dear children, be in the palm of God's hands,
              As the Bowls are poured out to cleanse the sins from this land.

         Since you failed, my dear children, Satan to defeat,
              Your country will be guarded by the one-world elite.
          Your country will no longer be called the United States;
              It will be divided by the one who your Sovereignty hates.

       Your founding fathers drafted a strong constitution,
           Now where their ashes lie, so does their contribution.
        The serpent has entered and will soon claim the throne
            In the house where the first seeds of freedom were sown.

        Massive graves will be dug for those who resist,
            especially the ones who are now on the red list.
        The crops will soon wither and the cattle will die;
            There will not be a source of a fresh water supply.

      Because all that God gave you, you squandered and now
          You will see why God's justice this event did allow.
       Who will now, my dear children, your country defend?
           And where will you plan now to eternity spend?

      Even though, my dear children, God will chastise this land;
          His flock will remain in the palm of His hand.
        The Father, His children will nourish and shield
          In the refuges that will be from Satan concealed.

      I know that it has been a very difficult year,
           And yet you're still being asked larger crosses to bear.
      You are wondering, dear children, and asking God why
           so many have to suffer and perhaps even die.

     God has granted you, dear children, many a request
         But only He knows what for each soul is best.
      It is better to suffer here and now and then gain
         Eternal life in heaven where there will be no pain.

      During turbulent times, God calls home select souls
         To help brig back those who now Satan controls.
      Continue to pray and you all will endure,
          All that God is asking to make this world pure.
