THE CONDITIONAL CHASTISEMENT

The Chastisement
(The fourth of the Great Events prophesied at Garabandal)

·The Virgin Mary first spoke of the future chastisement in the Secret
of La Salette, revealed in 1858.

·The Third Secret of Fatima, made known in 2000, portrayed an Angel
touching the earth with a flaming sword.

·The First Message at Garabandal in 1961 speaks of a "very great
punishment" and said, "The cup is filling up." The Second Message in
1965 said, "Now it is overflowing."

·Conchita described the Chastisement as something "very, very great in
keeping with what we deserve."

·She stated, "The Chastisement is conditional and depends on whether
or not mankind heeds the messages of the Blessed Virgin and the
Miracle."

·"If it should take place, I know of what it will consist because the
Blessed Virgin told me about it, but I am not permitted to say what it
is."

·"I have seen the Chastisement. I can assure you that it is worse than
being enveloped in fire, worse than having fire above and beneath
you."

·"I do not know how much time will pass between the Miracle and the
Chastisement."

·The Secret of Fatima began with a vision of hell. It showed souls in
a vast sea of fire with flames coming from within them. The souls had
no control of their movements, being defenseless to protect themselves
from demons there to torment them.

·The Chastisement foretold at Garabandal should be dreaded because it
has similarities to Sodom and Gomorrah on a world wide scale.

·But infinitely more to be dreaded is what follows the Chastisement,
for then the souls will be cast into hell, there to endure forever the
fate shown in the vision of hell.
