One of the prophecies that emerged from the Marian Apparitions at Garabandal, Spain, concerned the future of the Roman Catholic papacy.
The pope is the spiritual leader of more than 1 billion Catholics worldwide – about 70 million in the United States. He can have an enormous influence on the religious, ethical and political choices of a large percentage of the population.
The prophecy said, “After Pope John XXII there will be three more popes and then it will be the end of our times but not the end of the world. One of the popes will have a very short reign.”
The three popes after John XXII:
- Paul VI (1963-78);
- John Paul I (1978 – reigned only 33 days); and
- Blessed John Paul II (1978- died April 2, 2005).
Since then:
- Benedict XVI (elected April 19, 2005 – retired 2013);
- Francis (2013—).
If the prophecy is true, then April 2005 marked “the end of our times, but not the end of the world.”
Whatever that may mean.
I googled and made the following list of some of the world events of April 2005 that caught my eye:
- The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission adopted a new set of rules designed to create a National Market System.
- Three more countries moved toward joining currencies with the Euro.
- New Zealand legalized same-sex marriage.
- Connecticut became the second U.S. state to legalize same-sex marriage.
- A hemorrhagic fever outbreak caused by Marburg virus in Angola killed 227 of the 252 infected (90% fatal).
- NASA reported a slowing of the Gulf Stream was slowing and predicted a colder climate that could cause serious problems in Northern Europe. (Al Gore apparently missed this interesting climate tidbit!)
- Forty Christians were arrested in Saudi Arabia for violating Saudi law forbidding any religion but Islam.
- Israel pulled settlers out of Gaza in response to Hamas bombings.
- 400 Iranians respond to a fatwa by signing up for suicide missions in “occupied Islamic countries”, particularly Israel.
- More than 100,000 Muslims in Indonesia took part in anti-Israeli and anti-American protests.
- Venezuelan president Hugo Chávez ended military cooperation with USA.
- YouTube was founded. (I’m including this, not as a joke, but because I believe it had a huge impact on the decline of the leftstream media’s control of what we see and hear.)

Interesting. I’ve thought about that prophesy a lot, but so far I’ve been unable to come up with anything to explain what was important about that timeframe (April, 2005). I keep thinking it will only be obvious in hindsight, but who knows?

I look at it as we are on the edge of a new beginning. When society gets to the point where people realize that they have been led by lies and tyranny, human nature is to get away and begin to fend for oneself. This is the very reason we have an America to begin with. Now there is a movement for people to become more self sustaining again.
I see a real change happening in the holistic health movement. People are exploring alternative healing because they are coming to understand that “modern medicine” is a failure. Yes, we have incredible services for acute illness, but chronic disease is becoming the silent epidemic and people are realizing all these drugs are not curing anyone and thus are taking their health into their own hands.
This means they are returning to the old, God given ways of healing the body, by nourishing the mind body and soul.
Some of these modalities are things I use to think were just plain crazy, but now that I am seeing people change their lives, sometimes when they have been given no hope, I can see that the miracle of God’s gift of life is reawakening within many of us.
I think the greatest gift all and what separates us most from other beings is our ability to create music, or in my case, be moved by it.
Here is something that I think you might find interesting for it’s Biblical references to the healing power of sound:
Can sound repair damaged DNA?

Modern man only uses about 5% of the human brain. This new awakening may be about tapping into what was once not even thought about.

Interesting article. I’ve been aware of Dr. Masaru Emoto, using music to create different snowflake structures. As a musician, this really, really intrigues me. . .
