x Militarizing space???

They marched across the breadth of the earth

and surrounded the camp of God's people,

the city He loves.

But fire came down from heaven 

and devoured them.

Revelation 20:9

At the risk of sounding like a crazy conspiracy theorist, I believe that in light of the news reports - linked below - that identify extraordinary fish and wildlife killings which allegedly have occurred in the typical path of an orbiting satellite, it seems reasonable to ask: Has space been militarized secretly?

+ Ireland, earthquakes and prophecy

[Update: 5/27/15 -- This article originally was posted on June 29, 2012, however, recent news reports coming out of Ireland may make it even more relevant today.]

Seven years before the Last Day 

the sea shall submerge Ireland in one inundation.

Aftermath of a tsunami in Sumatra

Recent news reports of the "largest local seismic event ever recorded" off the coast of Ireland's County Mayo interest not only seismologists but students of prophecy.

Various prophecies by saints and other mystics identify that the end of the Age will be preceded by a tragic event in Ireland. However, a healthy skepticism is always in order when we read prophecies that claim specific timetables. After all, regarding His return, Jesus Christ warned, "No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father." (Mark 13:32)

++ Carmelo Cortez returns to New York

Catholic mystic, Carmelo Cortez is returning to New York for a July 7, 2012 prayer service.

Previously, I described (HERE, HERE, and HERE) his ministry. Through him, with the intercession of the Virgin Mary, God offers the faithful amazing manifestations of His love. However, as the videos below show, these Christian miracles are performed almost casually, without the least bit of prideful showmanship. Perhaps that is what Blessed Mother appreciates about Carmelo: his humility.

+ "My heart is bleeding."

The work of the devil will infiltrate even the Church

in such a way that one will see 

cardinals opposing cardinals,

bishops against bishops.

The priests who venerate me will be scorned 

and opposed by their confreres;

churches and altars will be sacked; 

the Church will be full of those who accept compromise 

and the demon will press many priests and consecrated souls

to leave the service of the Lord.

The demon will be especially implacable 

against souls consecrated to God. 

Our Lady of Akita

Mary's Bleeding Heart

In a small Florida town, a ceramic statue of the Virgin Mary appears to have miraculously bled. However, "Mary's Bleeding Heart" (story told HERE and HERE) is not a singular phenomenon. Around the world, a surprising number of Marian images also seem to be either weeping or bleeding. (Pictures HERE.)

Why?

Could she be communicating her sadness because Jesus Christ's Church on earth has been battered recently by a widespread sex abuse scandal, or because of a public clash with American nuns, or the Irish rejection of their country's deeply Catholic roots, or the West's indifference to Church teaching, or the Chinese (communist and atheist) government's demand that it name its own Catholic bishops? The list could go on.

The Church has always overcome and will continue to do so. However, it is one thing to sail turbulent waters, but quite another to do it when the crew is attempting a mutiny.
