Have you not yet read the Signs of the End of Times? God in His greatness of Love for us has been sending us warning, after warning asking us to repent. He has been inspiring chosen souls in our times whom he called to transmit His Message as in the time when our Lady appeared in Fatima (May 13, 1917) to warn the world, that unless they repent and return to God, and lead a life of prayer, a great war, greater than the 1st World War will come, and that Russia will spread her errors to her neighboring countries as well. Humanity ignored our Lady’s message and Her prediction came true. Vassula is a chosen soul to whom God has given messages for our times; of which many have come true, for example: the 2004 Tsunami, the Twin Towers, the world in turmoil and the fall of communism in Russia. These are the last warnings. God is so offended with the actual widespread apostasy that unless we heed His calling, He will chastise the world with a hurricane of fire. “Those who have ears let them hear, those who do not want to hear let them not hear”, this is what God said to Vassula to tell this generation and to tell all the Churches.
