Paul Harvey's "If I were the devil"...

"Your country, the United States, has fast gone into darkness. America the beautiful shall be cleansed by trial." - Our Lady of the Roses, March 18, 1976

If I were the devil...

If I were the prince of darkness I’d want to engulf the whole world in darkness, and I’d have a third of its real estate and four fifths of its population. But I wouldn’t be happy until I had seized the ripest apple on the tree: thee.

So I’d set about however necessary, to take over the United States. I’d subvert the churches first. I’d begin with a campaign of whispers. With the wisdom of a serpent I would whisper to you as I whispered to Eve, “Do as you please.” To the young I would whisper that the Bible is a myth. I would convince them that man created God, instead of the other way around. I would confide that what’s bad is good, and what’s good is square. And the old I would teach to pray after me, “our father which art in Washington...”

And then I’d get organized: I’d educate authors in how to make lurid literature exciting so that anything else would appear dull and uninteresting. I’d threaten TV with dirtier movies, and visa versa. I’d peddle narcotics to whom I could. I’d sell alcohol to ladies and gentlemen of distinction. I’d tranquilize the rest with pills.

If I were the devil I’d soon have families at war with themselves; churches at war with themselves; and nations at war with themselves; until each in its turn was consumed. And with promises of higher ratings, I’d have mesmerizing media fanning the flames.

If I were the devil I would encourage schools to refine young intellect, but neglect to discipline emotions; just let those run wild, until before you knew it you’d have to have drug-sniffing dogs and metal detectors at every schoolhouse door.

Within a decade I’d have prisons overflowing; I’d have judges promoting pornography. Soon I could evict God from the courthouse, then from the schoolhouse, and then from the houses of Congress. And in His own churches I would substitute psychology for religion and deify science. I would lure priests and pastors into misusing boys and girls—and church money.

If I were the devil I’d make the symbol of Easter an egg, and the symbol of Christmas a bottle.

If I were the devil I’d take from those who have, and give to those who want it, until I had killed the incentive of the ambitious. And what’ll you bet I couldn’t get whole states to promote gambling as the way to get rich.

I would caution against extremes, and hard work, and patriotism, and moral conduct. I would convince the young that marriage is old fashioned—that swinging is more fun. That what you see on TV is the way to be. And thus I could undress you in public, and I could lure you into bed with diseases for which there is no cure.

In other words, if I were the devil I would just keep on doing what he is doing.

Paul Harvey, March 16, 1993

"O My children, how happy were the days when I could look down from Heaven upon you and find that America was so beautiful—a Christian nation, devout, pious, and following the road as given by the Eternal Father, through My Son and the Holy Spirit of light. And now the light has been darkened." - Our Lady of the Roses, December 24, 1979

The awesome Bayside Prophecies... https://www.tldm.org/Bayside/
These prophecies came from Jesus, Mary, and the saints to Veronica Lueken at Bayside, NY, from 1968 to 1995:

SAVE AMERICA THE ROSARY WAY
"I am the Queen of the Universe, the Mediatrix of all graces, but first and above all I am your Mother! I have come to warn you, to protect you for many will be lost to us. You all, in the final decision, will have made your own choice. I bless you all, My children, with a shower of graces from Heaven. Come to Me at this hallowed place. Be with Me in spirit. Save America the Rosary way—a constant vigil of prayer!" Our Lady of the Roses, September 7, 1971

"ACCEPT OUR COUNSEL NOW"
"You see, My children, as long as there is someone praying the Rosary in your country, We will be here to guide you. But accept Our counsel now. Do not wait until it is too late. America the beautiful will fall!" Our Lady of the Roses, June 18, 1992

HUNGER, REVOLUTION
"Your country, America the beautiful, shall know hunger. Your country, America the beautiful, shall know revolution. The just shall be crucified. Evil shall run rampant, My children. This curse upon mankind is allowed for the redemption of those few who shall be saved. My children, I have warned you through countless visitations upon earth to mend your ways that offend the Eternal Father very much."
Our Lady of the Roses, June 1, 1978

UNLESS...
"The cross, My child, that was placed upon your flag* has full meaning now to you, for your country, America the beautiful, shall fall unless there is now a complete reversal—not a renewal, My child, but a reversal of the ways that have set you into darkness." Our Lady of the Roses, May 29, 1976

CROSS OF LIGHT
"My Son's hand grows heavy. I cannot hold it back much longer. Your country shall receive the cross, My child! Now you understand, My child the photograph.* The cross to many shall be their salvation. The cross, My child, as you observed upon the photograph was a cross of light, beaming with life." Our Lady of the Roses, May 15, 1976

STARVED FOR THE LIGHT
"Your country, My children, America, the once beautiful, has become a nation of sin, corruption, vileness—lacking charity, modesty, piety, and lacking the knowledge of God the Father Eternal. Your children—the children of your country and the children of your world—their souls are being starved for the light." Our Lady of the Roses, August 5, 1975

COMPLETE CAPITULATION
"Your country, America the beautiful, is being prepared now for complete capitulation. Now you know, My children, and now you must act upon this knowledge, or you, too, will feel captivity and slavery and the closing of My houses throughout your country. You have blindly walked right into the trap of enslavement set upon you through devious infiltration of your government, your schools, and your medias of communication.
     "Awaken now from your slumber and seek your return from your course of destruction by getting down upon your knees and praying in heartfelt, sincere prayer to the Eternal Father, to guide you back from your present road of destruction.
     "Your countrymen have sought to silence the voice of My Mother throughout your world. You will not continue to silence the voice-boxes throughout the world, for you are sowing the seeds of your own destruction!" Jesus, June 5, 1975

SHALL BE CLEANSED
Our Lady - "Your country, the United States, has fast gone into darkness. America the beautiful shall be cleansed by trial."
Veronica - Our Lady is coming down now and standing next to Michael. She's passed Her hands across Her face. She's very sad.
Our Lady - "My child, My heart is heavy, pierced with a great sorrow at what is to befall your country. My heart is torn for those with the influence who have cast aside My message. They have cared more for worldly acknowledgment and goods, selling their souls to get to the head." March 18, 1976

SOILED WITH CORRUPTION
"All of the major countries of your world, My children, are preparing for war. All cry peace, peace, and place a mask over their intentions as they prepare for war. Your country, I promise, as I have promised in the past, to give you My protection. America the beautiful has become soiled with corruption. America, once beautiful, has taken on a new leader, and his name is satan. A country that has cast aside a true moral value, a country that has abandoned its God to seek more and more of the material and power over the lives of mankind, this country has sown the seeds for its own destruction." Our Lady of the Roses, August 5, 1976

HOW MANY LISTENED?
"America the beautiful has fallen to satan. The eagle, the illustrious eagle, has fallen to satan, plucked by sin and corruption from within!
     "O My children, I wish, I desire, in My Mother's heart, to bring you a message of great joy; but how can I do this now, for it has become too late! I cautioned you, I begged you, I wandered through many earth-years warning you of this time, but how many listened to My counsel and acted upon it?"
Our Lady of the Roses, September 7, 1977

MEASURE FOR MEASURE
"Measure by measure, America the beautiful shall be purged by trial and suffering for turning away from God. Measure for measure, all countries of the earth shall go through a crucible of trial and suffering for the rejection of their God." Our Lady of the Roses, May 14, 1977

YEARS OF PLENTITUDE
Veronica - Now Jesus is going over, directly above our flag, the American flag, and He's pointing downward to the flag.
Jesus - "Look, My children, upon a nation, America the beautiful, that has given itself to satan. Look upon a nation that has conspired with the enemy, the enemies of God. Look upon a nation guided by My Mother for years of plentitude on earth, and look upon a nation that shall be chastised through suffering." July 15, 1975

ONCE BEAUTIFUL-OF-SPIRIT
"Since your perverse generation has chosen of free will to cast aside the warning from Heaven, you will, in diverse places and in your country—the once beautiful-of-spirit United States shall suffer great trial and come to its knees. What was to happen in the future shall be now! Mankind shall now determine the date." St. Michael, June 8, 1974

FALL OF AN EMPIRE
"A country is known by the moral values, My children. In the history of your world, if you consult and look, My children, you will find that your country and many in your world are now proceeding along the same course taken before the fall of an empire!" Our Lady of the Roses, February 10, 1976

HOW HAPPY THE DAYS...
"Why do you not listen? And you do not learn by your past! I have come to earth many times in the past, My children, to counsel you when you were in great danger. Some heeded this counsel and were saved; others turned away and were lost.
     "O My children, how happy were the days when I could look down from Heaven upon you and find that America was so beautiful—a Christian nation, devout, pious, and following the road as given by the Eternal Father, through My Son and the Holy Spirit of light. And now the light has been darkened." Our Lady of the Roses, December 24, 1979

There are 4 Things You Must Have to Survive the End Times:

1.) The Douay-Rheims Holy Bible...

"I ask that all who hear My voice will take their Bibles, and if they do not have one, search, but find the right Bible, those printed not after 1965, My children." - Jesus, October 5, 1985
     "You must all obtain a copy of the Book of life and love, the Bible. Do not accept the new mods. Try to find in your bookstores the old Bibles, My children, for many are being changed to suit the carnal nature of man. I repeat, sin has become a way of life." - Our Lady, October 6, 1992
    "I must ask you all to read but a few short chapters a day now, the Book of life and love, your Bible. Knowledge must be gained for all the disciples of My Son, for you will be attacked by scientific minds. But do not be concerned what you will say to them when accosted, for the words will be given to you by the Spirit." - Our Lady, April 10, 1976
    The Douay-Rheims Bible was published in 1899. It is the official Bible of the Roman Catholic Church. Almost all other Bibles have been rewritten by Satan.   See: https://www.tldm.org/directives/d33.htm , https://www.tldm.org/directives/d415.htm and https://www.tldm.org/directives/d182.htm   If you don't have a Douay-Rheims Bible order it now! (Order Form) Yours and your loved ones salvation could depend on it.
    Read the Bible cover to cover. If you read 4 chapters a day, you will complete the whole Bible in 334 days. I have read the Bible 2 times and working on the third time. A 75 year old Baptism gentleman told me that he and his wife have read the Bible nine times. Wow!

I say this to you because there will be carnage within your areas, and this will pass you by if you keep your crucifix upon your doors."

On September 13, 1977, She said, "He has an army of ogres wandering now throughout your country and all of the countries of the world. They are in possession of great power; so wear your sacramentals, and protect your children and your households. Learn the use every day of holy water throughout your household. Insist even with obstructions, insist that your children always wear a sacramental. One day they will understand that they will repel the demons."
    On February 1, 1974, Our Lady said, "My children, know the value of these sacramentals. Guard your children well. You must awaken to the knowledge that you will not be protected without the sacramentals. Guard your children's souls. They must be surrounded with an aura of purity. Remove them if necessary from the sources of contamination, be it your schools or even false pastors."
