Ireland – Sunday 12th September 2010 – The 7 year Tribulation, referred to in the Bible as the period when God will finish His discipline of Israel and finalise His judgment of the unbelieving world, has already started and the second half will take place from midnight 2012 to 2016 according to Irish visionary and seer Joe Coleman.
Coleman, who says he is an authentic visionary and seer for Our Lady, the Mother of God claims to have received this message from Our Lady and the Holy Spirit on Saturday 11th September 2010.
The message, according to Coleman, contains details of future world events, the arrival of a single global currency, the Anti-Christ and a one world religion. Another reference, to what is known to many Christians as The Rapture in the lead up to the Second Coming, is also contained in the message. The period from 2013 to 2031 if referred to as “The Trinity Years” where the teachings and theology of all the churches into one which will be led by the Anti-Christ.
Dublin born Coleman, aged 56 years, publicly predicted twelve separate apparitions of Our Lady at the Knock Shrine, Co Mayo, Ireland since 2009, attended by thousands. According to Joe Coleman “This is the first message I have received which actually gives dates for events leading up to the Second Coming of Christ on Earth although it does not reveal a date for the actual Second Coming itself, which has not been revealed to me.
“As a Catholic I was not aware what the Tribulation meant because the Second Coming of Christ is not something that is actively preached by the Catholic Church. Why I don’t know. This is the most unusual message I have received so far because the messages were given to me by both Our Lady and the Holy Spirit. And even though I have been told about future events in previous messages, most them simply warned of the urgency for people to turn back to God and to pray to avert world disasters. Now the urgency is even greater if people are to save their souls.”
Extract from the message:
From the Holy Spirit
“The tribulation has begun. The second half from midnight 2012 to 2016. The earth will witness major disasters. 2013 is of great importance.
The Trinity years - 2013 – the two stands for Christ. The zero stands for the Father who has been taken off the earth and is not talked about anymore. He is not honoured and glorified the way He should. The Father is not being honoured, especially on the Sabbath. Remember, keep holy the Sabbath Day which is Sunday. Keep holy every day the Father has given us. Three is the Holy Spirit who is here to prompt the people to think of the Father. God the Father has a great love for all his children but they don’t love him and this is very disturbing for Him. It hurts Him. Jesus Christ asks that we pray to Him and with Him. He will then call them his followers.
And they, his followers, will be taken up into the clouds at the great calling of the Trumpets. The Father loves his people but the people don’t love the Father.
The Trinity years. “2013 to 2031 there are 18 years – 666. The first 6 stands for the uniting of the currency of the world. The second 6 stands for the presence of the Evil One in the world’s leader. The third 6 stands for the uniting of all religions into one and removing all the teachings and theology of all the churches into one which is led by the Evil One.
