The Decline And Fall Of The Descendants Of The Roman Empire...

THE FALL OF THE NATIONS
"As I had discoursed with you this week, My child, you understand now that there is an urgent call for prayers, for your world now stands before a precipice overlooking a fall--this fall being far beyond what man can ever anticipate. I speak, My child, not of the spiritual fall, because that has precipitated the present crisis of mankind, but I speak of the fall of the nations.” – Our Lady, June 13, 1981

"Pray a constant vigilance of prayer in your country for your leaders, for all of the nations of earth. Many shall disappear in the conflagration from the face of the earth. Man has now gathered the seeds for his own destruction, My children." – Our Lady, May 18, 1977

The above Messages from Our Lord and Our Lady were given to Veronica Lueken at Bayside, New York. Read more

AmericanThinker.com reported on December 26, 2023:

by Vince Coyner

I used to debate one of my high school teachers about culture. As a fan of Rome, I posited it was the greatest and most consequential civilization in human history. He queried me about why. It’s laws, its size, its economy, its longevity? I suggested the clearest proof was the fact that there may be more Roman ruins remaining than from any ancient civilization in the world.

He disagreed, believing there were African empires whose cultures were equal if not superior to Rome’s, the grandest of such being the Mali Empire in West Africa. Lasting from 1226 to 1670, its greatest king was Mansa Musa, who is sometimes said to be the richest man who ever lived.

He pressed me on others, stating that architecture and its survival might not be the best measure by which to measure a culture’s greatness.

Wondering if he might be right, I looked a bit more into some of those other societies about which I knew less than Rome. There were the Incas, the Aztecs, the Egyptians, the Qin and Han Chinese, the Mongols, the Abbasid and Umayyad Caliphates, and the aforementioned Malian Empire. All were fascinating.

The Mongols had the largest landlocked empire in history but left very little in the way of architecture. There were the Qun and Han dynasties that controlled a quarter of the world’s population some 2000 years ago and built the longest sections of China’s Great Wall. The Abbasid caliphate, which is considered the Islamic Golden Age, was considered to be the most advanced society of its time in reference to things like science, astronomy, math, and medicine. The Egyptians not only left the Pyramids and Abu Simbel, but their papyrus was the earliest known paper. The Median and Achaemenid Empires preceding modern-day Iran left extraordinary ruins that go back 500 years before Christ.

Depending on how one wants to characterize them, there have been thousands of cultures, civilizations, and dynasties throughout human history. As much as we might know about them, it’s likely there are even more about which we know nothing. Which brings me back to my original point: How does one measure what a great culture is? Is it the language they left, the ruins they left, or how much of the earth or her population that the culture controlled?

It’s possible to make an argument for any one of those, but the reality is that, given the differences in time, geography, and populations, it’s impossible to draw a hierarchical chart that defines “Greatness” with precision, particularly given the differences in what’s left of them.

Nonetheless, I stand by the opinion of my 15-year-old self about Rome being the greatest civilization of the ancient world.

That being said, there’s nothing in the ancient world to compare with what we have in the 21st century, a world that stands on the shoulders of Western culture. Given how the West is committing cultural suicide, it might be helpful to examine what that Western culture has produced.

Yes, the West has been cruel and barbaric at times, whether to its own people or because it sanctioned slavery and resulted in the bloodshed of native peoples in far-off lands. All those things are true. But none of them are unique to the West. Depravity is a mark that mankind shares across civilizations and has been constant from one degree or another across the space and time of human existence.

With that out of the way, back to Western civilization. It’s brought the world democratic governance. It’s brought the world individual liberty predicated on the notion of individual rights ordained by God, which laid the ground for limited government and capitalism. Together, those things set the stage for the greatest advancement in the condition of man in all human history.

From the moment most of the people on the planet today wake up until the moment they lay their heads down at night, almost everything they do or interact with is a result of Western civilization. Here is a short list of just some of the inventions Western civilization has produced:

Automobiles. Telephony. Mobile phones. MRI machines. Plastic. Nuclear power. Bessemer Process steelmaking. Gasoline. Vulcanized rubber. Television. Radio. Elevators. Computers. Flight. Rockets. Electric light. Mechanical reaper. Heart transplants. Vaccines. The Internet. Sewing machines. Skyscrapers. Railroads. The steam engine. Internal combustion engines. Electric washing machines. Barbed wire. Air conditioning. Satellites. Movies. Submarines. Microwaves. Radar. Lasers. Artificial knees and hips. Robots. The movable-type printing press. Antibiotics. Batteries. Refrigeration. And much more.

Then there are innovations that Western civilization has produced: Containerized shipping. DNA discovery and sequencing. Stock markets. Social media. GPS. Advanced farming. Google maps. Space travel. Blood transfusion. Constitutional Democracy. Individual freedom. Limited government. X-ray machines. The assembly line. Mars landers and solar system probes. And again, much more.

And then there’s science. Of the approximately 800 Nobel Prizes that have been handed out since 1901 in fields like Physics, Chemistry, Economics & Medicine (not including Literature because it’s so subjective and Peace, which, after giving one to Barack Obama, has about as much credibility as the UN), Europeans and their offshoots have won approximately 750, including 350 for the United States alone.

This is the world of the 21st century, and it’s been built by the West. Aside from lost tribes or primitive societies that live as their ancestors did thousands of years ago, there’s virtually not a thing people around the world do on a daily basis that the West hasn’t developed. The West won on the field of battle of ideas and power. To pretend otherwise is simply fiction.

But that which the West has built is under assault…mostly from within. From citizens who became fat, dumb, and happy during the prosperous times to their inviting into their nations tens of millions of people who don’t share their culture and, indeed, most of whom come from nations hostile to Western values.

Prosperity is a two-edged sword. On the one hand, it has created a civilization greater than anything in history. On the other hand, the beneficiaries of that prosperity have lost sight of the hard work, sacrifice, risk, and perseverance it takes to create prosperity, and how difficult it is to maintain that high standard.

As a result, many, if not most, Western citizens detest their own culture. They have tunnel vision, focused with a modern-day perspective on their forefathers’ flaws while creating a fictional nirvana-like perspective on every other civilization in history. Self-loathing is rampant.

It’s one thing to tolerate or even encourage self-reflection in the pursuit of self-improvement. But that’s not what the left does. Like a 78-pound college student suffering from anorexia who looks in the mirror and sees herself as a “fat cow,” Western liberals see the sins of their fathers and the imperfections of their society and believe that their tunnel vision means the West is nothing but evil. Then, like the anorexic, they engage in self-sabotage; only, in this case, it’s the culture they harm.

Culture and civilization are fragile; they’re hard to build and harder to maintain. It’s particularly difficult when the youth of a nation despise their birthright, disrespect its legacy, and actively undermine its foundations. Combine that with elites who are the fountainhead from which that disdain arises, and you have a dire future.

The left accuses Trump and the MAGA adherents of being racist nationalists. We’re not. Charles de Gaulle perhaps said it best: “Patriotism is when love of your own people comes first; nationalism is when hate for people other than your own comes first.” America and the West will not survive the rest of this century if their citizens don’t become patriots. Indeed, Osama bin Laden saw the writing on the wall: “When people see a strong horse and a weak horse, by nature they will like the strong horse.” Self-loathing may communicate many things, but strength is not one of them.

GOVERNMENT
"For that one reason among many, the United States will suffer unless there is placed into your government a group that fears the Lord if they cannot love the Lord. They will fear Him and find measures to stop the slaughter of the unborn." - Our Lady, April 14, 1984

Our Lady of the Roses 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.

POLITICS AND MONEY SHALL NOT GUIDE YOU
"I repeat again: You will seek for the Seat of Peter a man of justice. Politics and money shall not guide you as it has in the past! You will seat in the Seat of Peter a man of piety, a man who has not extinguished the Faith, and a man who accepts the truth from the beginning, not seeking change!
     "I say unto you, My pastors, hierarchy and priests of all nations: You will follow the rules as given through countless earth-years. My Church, My House has been set up upon earth. I gave the direction. It was a simple way. And you have entered upon the wide road to damnation. Many mitres shall fall into hell! But sadly they will take others with them.
     "The justice of the Eternal Father has charity, gives hope. However, you cannot compromise the Faith. You cannot compromise with evil. There is no middle road between good and evil." - Jesus, October 6, 1978

THE WORLD MACHINE
"You must not involve yourselves, My pastors, with the political machines of your world. It is a satanic involvement. I do not have to repeat by name those who have fallen into the web of satan and the world machine. This machine, My children, in simple language, will promote--without prayers and without enough sacrifice to give balm to the heart of the Eternal Father for the abominations being committed--this machine shall set itself to enslave the world's souls." - Our Lady, May 15, 1976

A POLITICAL MACHINE TO ENSLAVE
"My Mother explained to you the plan for the takeover of the Seat of Peter by a select group. In 1975 a message of truth was given to mankind of the great length the evil ones will go to capture the Seat of Peter. There is working throughout your world a group We have called the octopus, a web of evil consisting of principalities, powers, all seeking to destroy Christianity and to bring your country and all of the nations of the world under the rule of one-world religionists. It will be a political machine to enslave the world." - Jesus, June 18, 1978

HIGHEST PLACES IN CIVIL LIFE
"Satan has entered into the highest places in your civil life, My child, and in the houses of My Son throughout your world. His reign will be short in earth-years. I have not come to your earth to fill you with fear. I have come to prepare you for the days of trial." - Our Lady, April 13, 1974

LAXITY OF LAWMAKERS
"Parents, exercise discipline in your homes, or your children shall be victimized outside their doors. Because of the laxity in the highest places of lawmakers in your country and countries throughout the world, sin has become a way of life! Murders and all manner of foul deeds are being committed!
    "Discipline in government . . . The words are emblazoned: 'In God We Trust', but who is the god they trust? Man has become their god!" - Jesus, May 28, 1977

EAGLE PLUCKED BY SATAN
"Your nation, the United States of America, has been now--the proud eagle has been plucked by satan; and as such shall be cleansed by trial and suffering and war. Humanism and modernism have set you on the road to satanism. Your country and many countries of the world now have adopted the worship of false idols.
    "Satan, the master of deceit, has poisoned many minds. Satan, the ruler of the world of darkness, has now entered into the highest places of governments, and even within My House, My Church upon earth. But I shall cleanse them, as I have cleansed them in the past." - Jesus, June 18, 1980

GREATEST PUNISHMENT TO BABYLON THE GREAT
"Sin has become a way of life in your nation and many nations upon earth. You have, in your country, the gathering of the forces of evil. Never before in the history of mankind has man set up Babylon.
     "Your city, New York, shall be set in reserve for a punishment far greater than shall be given to any city upon your earth. The forces of evil fan out like a cancer, polluting the world.
     "Amen, I say to you: you will listen and act upon the warnings given to you throughout your world by many emissaries from Heaven. Act upon them or be destroyed." - Jesus, June 18, 1976

BRING BACK PUBLIC PRAYER
"Your country must bring back public prayer. Your country must make atonement for the offenses being committed against the God, your Lord, the King of Heaven and earth, your Creator.
     "Man upon earth has chosen to give honor to man. After the great cleansing, the fruits of man's hands shall fall! Much will be reduced to ashes and rubble. He will rebuild in the manner the Father directs, under the direction of the Father.” - Our Lady, August 21, 1973

TO REMOVE CHRISTIANITY
"My dear parents, please! Listen to your Mother. Listen to what I have to say to you, for I tell you the truth. The Eternal Father sees all, and makes us knowledgeable as to what is happening upon earth that will bring its eventual destruction. Your children are being educated in the schools to take all Christianity from their lives, and believe not in the supernatural things of God, but the diabolical processes of satan, in cults.” - Our Lady, June 18, 1987

PRAYER OUTLAWED
"My child and My children, prayer has not become a way of life for many. That is why communism has got such a foothold in your country and in other countries of the world. The prayers given to you in your childhood will be remembered always, I know, My children; but there are those who have not received these prayers in their schools, for prayer has been outlawed in many areas of your country and the world. It took but a few without faith to bring down the flag, for even your country's flag is being defiled, My children.” - Our Lady, October 2, 1987

THE BIBLE
"You will go forward with the cross in your right hand and the Bible, the Book of life, in your left. And all who deny this Book are not of the light." - Our Lady, May 22, 1974

DISCIPLINARIAN
"Parents, you must now become the disciplinarian in your home. You have the major responsibility now for safeguarding the souls of your family. Do not expect your children to be guided the right way in the light by the teachers in your school systems, for all have fallen to satan.” - Jesus, November 1, 1977

YOUTH INDOCTRINATED
"Your children must be protected from the evils that abound in your school systems in your country and most nations throughout the world. They are being taught immorality and a loss of faith in the supernatural and the knowledge of their God. All manner of heresy has been indoctrinated into their youthful minds. It is a diabolical plan of Lucifer.” - Our Lady, June 18, 1979

A FOUL SITUATION
"A foul situation has come about in the schools, both public and private. They are now teaching sex education, My children. And this is a debauchery of your young souls. Parents, are you so blind that you do not investigate, or ask your children what has happened in their classes today at school? Show you no interest as you go about the world gathering materialism, and seeking to break your home apart by husband and wife going in both directions; neither do they work together to hold the home together, but they work apart, many leaving the children astray by not having counsel over them.” - Our Lady, September 27, 1986

PRAY FOR LEADERS
"The leaders of your country and the leaders throughout the world have taken upon themselves a measure of sin creating insanity.
     "In the light of the Spirit descending from Heaven, you shall be given the knowledge of truth, My children. Accept it and take it as your candle, for you must now go throughout your world saving your brothers, preparing them for what lies ahead.” – Our Lady, September 13, 1975

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!

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."
