Directive from Heaven - No. 340 - Signs of the Times given at to Veronica Lueken at Our Lady of the Roses Shrine at Bayside, New York

#340 - Signs of the Times

“And there came to him the Pharisees and Sadducees tempting: and they asked him to show them a sign from heaven. But he answered and said to them: When it is evening, you say, It will be fair weather, for the sky is red. And in the morning: Today there will be a storm, for the sky is red and lowering. You know then how to discern the face of the sky: and can you not know the signs of the times?” – St. Matthew 16:1-3

OPEN YOUR EYES
"Open your eyes to the signs of the times and you will not be in darkness.” – Our Lady, September 28, 1970

MEND YOUR WAYS NOW
"All the bishops, the cardinals must be given My message, for they will be given the time to render a good account to their God before the Chastisement.
"It is a merciful God Who asks you to repent, Who asks you to mend your ways now, for their future is limited. Recognize the signs of your times. Be not blinded by your worldly pleasures and features of worldly living, for the forces of evil have set upon you a web!” – Our Lady, December 24, 1971

ALL WHO ARE WITH ME
"All who are with Me will recognize the signs of the times." – Jesus, August 5, 1974

ONLY THOSE WHO LISTEN TO OUR DIRECTION
"You, My child, will continue your mission under the direction of the Father. As you fight your way through the darkness of the world, you will remain on the narrow road. It will be a road filled with thorns. We cannot promise you a life of great happiness and approval in your world. But, My child, is this what you want? You cannot have both. But I assure you, give up the world and remain dedicated to the work given to you and your reward will be great in Heaven. Do not be swayed or grow grieved by the judgment of mankind upon you, for as they judged My Son, so will you receive the same. Only those who listen to Our direction shall recognize the signs of the times.” – Our Lady, July 25, 1974

THE WAR IS ON
"You have been asked to wear a sacramental about your neck. Now I will explain why, My children. I have warned you of the unseen evil forces about you. I have cautioned you that your human eyes cannot see this. But it exists and is as solid in their world as you are on your earthly plane. Know this, that there are two camps now on earth: Lucifer on one side and the road to Heaven and its followers on the other. You have all been marked. There are two signs now: the mark of the beast and the mark of the living Christ.
"Recognize the signs of the times, My children. The war is on. My children, it is much easier to close your heart and your ears to the truth. Your human nature forces you to flee from all that does not feed your vanity. You seek good feelings. But, My children, you cannot become blind to the truth. Recognize the signs of your times, the plagues that have been already sent upon you. The medicinal deterioration of your children's bodies was well planned by satan. It is a plague within your country; it is a plague within the world. Destroy the mind and you can leave the soul to be conquered.” – Our Lady, March 25, 1972

MEDIATRIX BETWEEN THE FATHER AND MAN
"My Mother has been sent to you as a Mediatrix between the Father and man. She has placed Herself in sacrifice for lost souls.
"I have watched as you have degraded Her, and you have sought with the agents of hell to destroy Her. You will know now that My Mother will crush the prince of darkness, and he will lie before Her, chained by Michael and cast into the pit. He rages now upon your world, knowing that his time grows short.
"Recognize, My children, the signs of the times. Open the Book of life and read what John has left you. We instructed him well in the mysteries that will unfold through many seers in many places throughout your earth. If you seek, you will find the answer. Those in grace will understand the meanings of the wordings of John." – Jesus, March 24, 1973

BALL OF REDEMPTION IS APPROACHING
"The Ball of Redemption is approaching earth. All who have remained in counsel and steadfast in faith with My Mother shall recognize this and be prepared, for the signs of the times have been given in numerous places, in many ways, through persons, places, and things throughout your earth.
"Prepare, My children, and go forward as lightbearers, carriers of the Faith and truth. My children, before the final capitulation of mankind to the evil forces of destruction, all will have washed their robes clean in the Blood of the Lamb. Console yourselves in your hearts, My children, in the knowledge that what is happening has been deemed by the Eternal Father as a necessary chastisement. For whom the Father loves He finds need to chastise.” – Jesus, September 28, 1977

BELIEVE AND YOU WILL BE GIVEN THE WAY
"I do not have to engage you all, My children, in a long discourse on the present state of man in the world. I can say unto you all: look about you and you will recognize the signs of the times. Act upon them and you will be saved. Believe and you will be given the way.” – Our Lady, June 9, 1979

COMMUNISM, THE SCOURGE OF MANKIND
"The good pastors of My Son's House have always warned of the danger of modernization and modernism, for modernism shall always lead to heresy. Modernism shall cause the Faith to darken and be lost in the hearts of many. And modernism shall lead to atheism, My children. Awaken from your slumber and recognize the signs of the times. The red forces are gathering throughout your world. Communism shall be the scourge of mankind.
"Through countless years upon your earth, I have cried out in warning to you. O My children, keep your sacramentals about you. Accept and do not reject the Sacraments of My Son's House: Baptism, Confirmation, the Holy Eucharist, Penance, Extreme Unction, Holy Orders, and Matrimony. And Matrimony, My children--you reject the natural laws of your God. You are substituting a pagan way of life!” – Our Lady, November 1, 1976

“SHOULD OUR BISHOPS CONTINUE IN THEIR ERRORS…”
"Should Our bishops continue in their errors, should Our bishops not recognize the signs of the times, and continue running fast into the abyss and taking many with them--if they do not, in their arrogance and pride, turn back and open their hearts and minds to the truth--well, My children, there will be many chastisements sent to mankind, and each one must grow more severe, until these chastisements shall encompass the whole world.” – Our Lady, August 5, 1976

MUCH WILL COME ABOUT FROM HIS OWN MAKING
"My children, much of the sorrow that will be sent upon mankind, much of it will come about because of his own making. The greatest loss of life, My children, will come with the explosion of a nuclear warhead upon mankind. The Ball of Redemption shall follow, and not much shall be left of flesh upon earth.
"My children, as it has been in the past so it is today in your lifetime that man goes on his way not recognizing the signs of the times, and neither trying to mend his ways that offend the Eternal Father, neither trying to make restitution for the offenses against My Mother, and the Eternal Father.” – Jesus, July 25, 1977

SIN HAS BECOME A WAY OF LIFE
"The Eternal Father is much distressed by mankind's actions. They must not try to control the start and expiration of a life. Abortion is murder, My children, for you bring to an untimely end a mission of a soul. The Eternal Father breathes the spirit of life into the body at the moment of conception. No man shall destroy this body until it has completed its mission as directed by the Eternal Father, for any man who destroys the mission and the body is guilty of murder. Euthanasia, untimely death, My children, man has transgressed into a form of evil far worse than in the time of Noe or Sodom. Therefore, how great shall be the punishment to mankind!
"In these days, My children, the signs of the times come fast upon you. There will be no charity of heart; selfishness shall abound. There will be little light of piety. Morality--the word shall not be accepted. Sin has become a way of life.” – Our Lady, June 12, 1976

MORALITY HAS FALLEN IN MOST NATIONS
"My child and My children, We are very pleased at the manner in which you are getting out the Directives from Heaven. Do not slacken your pace. There are many souls to be reached. They must understand the signs of the times.
"The biggest threshold for the United States and other countries of the world is if they are willing to go forth and overcome the evil within their own countries. The morality has fallen in most nations of the world now, and this cries to Heaven for either repentance or punishment.” – Our Lady, June 18, 1992

SIGNS OF THE TIMES MULTIPLY
"My children, do not be deceived by the reports being given to you from your news medias, for they are controlled by the father of all liars and his agents in human form. While your world cries peace, love, and brotherhood, they prepare for war! While your world cries peace, love, and brotherhood, they slaughter their brothers, they murder the children. And what kind of peace will you have when you defy your God? I say unto you: there will be no peace when man has given himself to sin.
     "All the nations of the world gather while the vultures gather over their promised land, going unrecognized as signs of the times multiply.
     "Your scientists are masked with false faces shouting love and brotherhood, while they compound all manner of evil devices to destroy the bodies and minds of men.
     "Lust and greed, avarice and vanity cloud the minds of men even in the highest places of rank in your world, in your government. Man has given himself to seeking pleasure, pleasures of the flesh that send many into hell . . . unbridled passion, debasement among men.” – Jesus, March 18, 1977

“YOU ARE FAST SELLING YOURSELVES INTO SLAVERY”
"My children, why do you not recognize the signs of your times? Why is man, in his blindness, calling down upon himself many chastisements? Floods, earthquakes, famines, plagues, until all shall be cleansed by the Ball of Redemption!
"My children, My Son has given you the way. He is the way. The rules were simple. Pastors in My Son's churches, you do not read your Book of life, the Bible. You are too busy committing yourselves to pleasure; you are too busy indulging your mortal appetites; you are too busy being deluded by satan with all rules of modernism and humanism and secularism--all of the 'isms,' My children, that are leading you to communism.
"O My children, recognize, I repeat, the signs of your times. You are fast selling yourselves into slavery. Your government and the governments of the world are now almost in full control of the agents of hell. The forces of 666 are firmly entrenched in your government, in the clergy--your pastors, your shepherds, your bishops; even satan has entered into the highest realms of the hierarchy in Rome.” – Our Lady, July 25, 1977

THE LATTER DAYS
"The Father is now in the process, My child, of separating the sheep from the goats. Each man and woman and child shall receive a mark upon him. It will be the mark of the cross or the mark of the beast.
"Yes, My child, there is much evil in your government and in the governments of the world. Do you not recognize the signs of your times? Know that--I repeat now: you are now living in the latter days. Prepare yourselves now, while you have the time. Blessed is the soul that has taken My words and acted upon them.” – Our Lady, February 10, 1975

THE APOCALYPSE
"You are living in the days of trial, the days written of by Saint John in the Apocalypse, the Revelations to mankind. Do not reject as hearsay, or the thoughts from the hearts of mere man, these Revelations, My children, for this prophecy was given to you from the Eternal Father. It is for your knowledge to use in these days.
"Do you not recognize the signs of your times? You are approaching fast the day of great chastisement. There will be gnashing of teeth and much woe set upon the earth by the dark one. Satan has massed his forces among you. All manner of grave deception is being set before you. Pray much, a constant vigilance of prayer, My children; even the elect are deluded at this time.
"If I could pull back the curtain for you, My children, and reveal the full scope of what mankind is doing throughout your world, you would shudder with fright, knowing that so many promises were made but are not being fulfilled. And why, My children, why are these promises not fulfilled? Because they are made from the mouths and hearts of the unbelievers.” – Our Lady, December 6, 1975

“THE DAYS AS GIVEN BY YOUR PROPHETS ARE HERE”
"I give fair warning, as your Mother, that the world has set itself upon a course for its own destruction. In My Son's House it shall be bishop against bishop and cardinal against cardinal, for satan has set himself in their midst. It shall be mother against daughter, father against son. There shall be discord in the home as the family heads struggle to maintain the Faith.
"O My children, the battle of the spirits is far greater than any human war that man knows of. The days as given by your prophets are here. Recognize the signs of your times, My children, and act upon them. All who have been given the great grace to hear My voice, to accept the warnings from Heaven, know that much is expected of you, for you must go forward and recover your straying brothers and sisters.
"Pray a constant vigilance of prayer, My children. Pray for the struggle that now is taking place in the Eternal City of Rome and the struggle that is entering upon many countries of Europe. The evil of the Red Bear is spreading, My children. Prayer, atonement, and sacrifice. How long can I hold back the heavy hand of My Son?" – Our Lady, June 5, 1976

THE APOCALYPTIC DAYS
"Recognize, My children, the signs of your times. Read--I ask you for your knowledge, to read the Book of life, your Bible, and the writings of John, Saint John the Apostle, in the Apocalyptic times. You are fast approaching upon the sixth siege. How many more, My child, after the sixth? There are no more sieges, My child. Yes, the curtain is fast falling down.
"The peace I promised you many years ago must now wait for the Second Coming of My Son. Man did not hasten and listen then, no more than We are finding that man is listening now. Only a few will be saved in the final count.
"None will cast aside this chance to be saved, unless he does this with full knowledge and of his free will. All will be given the word, the interior warning, before the coming great Chastisement of the ball of fire!" – Our Lady, November 1, 1974

“SPIRITUAL DARKNESS COVERS YOUR WORLD NOW”
"Spiritual darkness covers your world now. The test is here, My children. It is the time of trial for mankind, the separation of the sheep from the goats.
     "Do not be affrighted, My child and My children, at this knowledge. No man or woman or child has ever fallen into hell unless of his own free will. The way to Heaven is a straight and narrow road, My children. Once you leave, it is most difficult to return. Remember, My children, many of you who leave the road will expect to come back in time, but I know that many shall not be given the second chance.
     "Many warnings of minor nature, upheavals of nature, shall take place, and all will accelerate in timing. Know, My children, and recognize the signs of your times.
     "I have asked you in the past and I ask you again to read your Bible. Read over and over the writings of John, the Apocalypse, and you will not be lost in knowledge. As you read, the Holy Ghost will enlighten you and you will know, My children, the next step in God's plan, the Eternal Father's plan, for your redemption." – Our Lady, December 7, 1977

“THE BALANCE IS HEAVY FOR YOUR DESTRUCTION”
"There will be many internal disorders in your country, much suffering. Protect your children now within your homes.
     "I need much help. Many arms are needed. I ask your help, and the help of all those who have the love of My Son. Do not permit those of evil infiltration to desecrate the Body of My Son. As ye sow, so shall ye reap.
     "My Son's House is now infiltrated, My children, with many agents of hell. Recognize the signs of your times. I have given you the armor for your salvation.
     "There is coming a general mobilization of forces in Heaven. The saints who have kept their robes clean upon earth shall enter into the spotless glory of eternal salvation. As We go into deep battle with the agents of Lucifer, many will accept martyrdom.
     "The balance is heavy for your destruction. Man has created an uneven balance. As he adds the atrocities created by him to defile the God-nature of the Eternal Father, he brings himself closer to his own extinction.” – Our Lady, November 1, 1972

“UNLESS YOU TURN BACK AND RESTORE MY SON’S HOUSE...”
"O My children, recognize the signs of your times, the conspiracy of the octopus. Like a web of evil, the hands of the masters reach out to gather, unite, and destroy My Son's House.
"O My children, keep a constant vigilance of prayer going throughout your country and all of the countries of your world. I have warned you that unless you turn back and restore My Son's House to its former prominence and to its true purpose of the salvation of souls; unless you restore the basic traditions and truth of My Son's House, you will receive a just and fitting penance: you will receive the Ball of Redemption.
"My child, do not slacken in your work. Pay no heed to the opinions of others. You must understand, My child, that man is now trying to build another new religion, a new church, and it will not be of My Son. It will be a new religion that gathers all the world under one fold of a dictator. And know, My children, that when one man, or a select group of men, gain so much power over individuals and an individual, know that no evil can be controlled then, and the eventual end is destruction, death, suffering.” – Our Lady, November 20, 1976

THE ERA OF ANTICHRIST
"You are, My children, living in the era of Antichrist. Recognize the signs of your times, and you will not fall into error. Read the Book, My children. You read books of corruption and vile debauchery. Restore the truth in your heart, into your children and homes. Open the good Book, the Bible, and read it in your homes.
"My Son has already set up the rule for the houses throughout the world, the churches. They are written in the Book of love and life, the Bible. Read and learn, and follow the truth!
"There is no time or change in Heaven. The Father never changes. It is only satan who seeks change to disturb, corrupt, and degrade. Satan roams wherever there is darkness of spirit. He will debase mankind in a manner so foul that you will know that no human could conceive of such vileness of sin.” – Our Lady, March 22, 1975
