Within the Catholic church, there are a number of prophecies know as “private prophecies” . Some of these prophecies that deal with the End Times indicate that the time for major changes in the world is the current century. Here are a few examples:
- The beginning of the end will not come in the nineteenth century, but certainly in the twentieth. ~ Sister Bertina Bouquillion
- It is said that twenty centuries after the incarnation of the Word, the Beast will become man. ~ St. John of the Cleft Rock
- We are living in the days of the apocalypse. ~ Bishop Fulton Sheen
And some other prophecies that don’t indicate specific times, but give some frightening details:
- Red clouds like blood that will cover the whole earth causing three fourths of the world’s population to perish. ~Marie Julie Jahenny of La Faudais
- Near the last days, there will be a short but furious war and supernatural prodigies will be seen by all in the sky. There will also be three days of darkness that will claim many lives for those that venture out from the safety of their houses. ~Palma Maria d’Oria
- After the 3 days of darkness, only 1/4th of the world’s population will remain. ~ Sister Mary of Jesus of Pau
