STATUS: Sad to say, despite sharing messages of authentic and approved mystics, the 'Countdown to the Kingdom' website also promotes several fake mystics, and due to this, it is also spreading a timeline of events contrary to the teachings of the Catholic Church, based on the messages of the false mystics.
(Image: from the Countdown to the Kingdom Website - their timeline of events, but it is heretical as it goes against the teachings of the Church: it is showing the Antichrist coming, then Jesus Christ personally coming to restore the Church and reign personally for a time on earth during the Age of Peace, then Satan comes, then the Second Coming happens, actually making it the 'Third Coming of Christ' which is heretical.)
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
According to the Catholic Church's teachings, and, the Fathers, Doctors, Saints and approved mystics of the Church, authentic teachings states that Christ will not personally return until the Last Day and destroy the reign of the Antichrist Himself right at the End of Time. This is in complete agreement with the Bible and the teaching of St. Paul. (Click here to see the teaching of St. Paul on the Antichrist and the Second Coming.)
Again, the saints, doctors, and approved mystics agree with this and have declared the Age of Peace will NOT come after the Antichrist, but before him. (Go to the prophecy Timeline and scroll down to the very end to see authentic prophecies about the timing of the Antichrist, click here.)
So, to recap: Christ will NOT come before then to reign over the Church Himself on earth for a certain period of time, that would turn the Second Coming into the 'Third Coming' on the Last Day, a heresy, and, He is NOT coming personally to renew the Church. This also means the Antichrist does not come before the Age of Peace either.
Unfortunately the Countdown to the Kingdom website is going against this and says the Antichrist and Christ is coming before the Age of Peace, which is a serious doctrinal error that is heretical.
Their timeline graphic as you can see above is showing the Antichrist and Christ coming before the Second coming, meaning that Christ coming at the end of time in the graphic is actually a 'Third Coming'.
They seem to be promoting this because quite a number of the unapproved or and fake mystics they promote on their site are spreading this error, or, a variant of it.
::::::::::::::::::::::::
A Shortlist of the fake or very problematic mystics on their site
Here are a few of them, click on their names to see the errors they are spreading, a synopsis is also provided below:
* Fr. Michel Rodrigue: - Synopsis: Claims
to have supernatural visions, but his revelations contradict end time
events taught by St. Paul and by the Fathers and Doctors of the Church,
there are indications towards a Chiliast / Millenarian heresy slant. Fr. Michel says Antichrist comes first, and will rise in the Church and is aiming for the seat of St. Peter, aka the Papacy. (The Bible and the Church fathers and doctors, saints, etc teach the Antichrist sets his seat up in Jerusalem or near to it at the end of time, so not aiming for a seat of rule in the papacy itself, nor is he going to set up his seat of rule in Rome. To say so is an error. (And no, the vision of La Salette does not prove otherwise, click here to find out why.) He says after this comes the Age of Peace, (which he completely mixed up with the New Heaven and the New Earth, which is a different event entirely-this is where the Chiliast / Millenarian slant comes in--mixing up the Church on earth and the Age of Peace together with Christ's Eternal Kingdom at the end of time). St. Paul and the Doctors, Fathers, real mystics, etc, and the Church says instead that the Age of Peace comes first, then the Antichrist, who will rule in or near Jerusalem, and, will come at the end of time just before the Second Coming. Has given prophecies, especially one regarding Pope Benedict and Pope Francis that has utterly failed - which is the sign of a fake mystic. Also. Fr. Michel was caught giving false information about receiving his bishop's approval to speak regarding his visions and that they were submitted for review, when he didn't have permission and his messages were not submitted for review at all. Meaning his was faking credibility. Dishonesty in a mystic on this level is not a good sign. As a result, his two bishops, the Bishop of Amos and the Bishop of Hearst-Moosonee, have completely "disavowed" his visions, meaning completely repudiated them. The Bishop of Amos himself declared he was shocked and hurt by the false info but out he had given permission. Both bishops apparently are not even bothering to do an examination of them at this point, his antics to forge fake approval have upset them that much. Fr. Michel has also given a gravely failed prophecy, which is a sign of a fake.
* Francine Bériault of France - claims to have inner locutions, and her messages have been sent to the Vatican, but I'll be very scandalised if the Vatican approves of her. She says the Antichrist comes before the Age of Peace, rules from Rome, and says he will direct Christ's Church (impossible)-- which completely contradicts St. Paul in the
Scriptures, the Church Fathers, the Church and the saints regarding the
timing and reign of the Antichrist. She claims he and all his evil followers will be removed during the 'Great Purification' ie. the Three Days of Darkness, etc. and, heretically mixes up the Age of Peace with
the New Heaven and the New Earth, also defies logic regarding the nature
of time, mixes up time and eternity, and the nature of time during the Three Days of Darkness in a irrational manner. Sign of a fake.
* "Luz de Maria" de Bonilla of Argentina: Synopsis: not officially approved by the Church despite claims she is. (Imprimaturs and Nihil Obstats does not mean formal approval of a mystic.) Visions teach heresies, like an 'intermediate' coming of Christ before the Second Coming, which is heresy. Contains doctrinal
errors, attempts to discourage use of the sacramental protection of the Rosary beads using a twisted message. Contradicts true mystics. Becoming known for her 'herbal
remedies' for the chastisements, in particular, the 'Good Samaritan
Oil', which in fact is not a heaven revealed remedy but a medieval
recipe called 'Thieves Oil' used by thieves to aid them rob houses during the Black Plague. She contradicts scientific information
and also the revelations given by true mystics about herbal remedies,
and therefore could be putting lives at grave risk. Heaven does not
give contradictory information about natural remedies that could put
your life at risk.
* 'Jennifer' of the USA: Synopsis: - several major doctrinal and Biblical errors, contradicts the Bible, etc. Some are so easy to spot you wonder how people fall for her, it is cringe-worthy, like getting the Hail Mary wrong, getting the number of days in Creation wrong, illogical statements from Heaven like someone who doesn't know how to speak English properly. (Our Lord, Our Lady, and the saints know languages and do not make irrational statements that defy logic. Sounds like a fake mystic making things up as they go.) Theologically incorrect statement on how to pray for the dead, etc. Her visions apparently still not sent for review or approval to her local ordinary according to her spiritual director as is the norm, but has attempted to forge fake approval / credibility with Vatican officials who have no authority to rule on her case, nor even have the authority to approve her messages. Definite signs of a fake when they do not follow the normal procedures set forth by the Church for discerning true messages and attempt to cobble together fake credibility by going over the local authority's head.
* Pedro Regis : Synopsis: no official position from the Church yet, but obvious strange contradictions in the messages, Heaven doesn't contradict itself in an illogical manner, something is 'off'.
* Gisella Cardia: Synopsis: Officially declared 'not supernatural' by the Church (2024.) Mystic
with "miracles", but reports have come out saying the 'blood miracles' of statues weeping blood were pig's blood, and even her own blood. Her messages contain many errors and major heresies,
like a variant of the Chiliast heresy in that Christ is literally coming
Himself to renew the Church, (which cannot happen as the Church
Militant will no longer exist after the Second Coming, so if she means Christ
is coming Himself to renew the Church for an Age of Peace on earth, and not at
the end of time as taught in the Bible, that is heresy).- Also says the WHOLE Church will be
completely destroyed so it can be reborn - heresy. Christ said the
gates of Hell shall never prevail, so it cannot and will not be totally
destroyed on earth until Christ comes at the Second Coming, from then on only the
Church Triumphant will exist. Visions features 'Rapture' like
predictions more in keeping with modern Protestant thinking, etc.
Another
warning about the Countdown to the Kingdom Website - they also
still
have their page up on the visions of Edson Glauber of Itapiranga Brazil,
eventhough they acknowledge the Vatican has weighed in and has recently
declared his visions 'Not
Supernatural', meaning NOT from Heaven. When the Vatican does decide to weigh in on a vision, it is the FINAL SAY, and a local bishop cannot overturn it. The Vatican has declared
Glauber must no longer spread his messages, and pilgrimages should no
longer be allowed at the apparition site - therefore continuing to spread his
messages when KNOWING THE VATICAN'S OFFICIAL NEGATIVE RULING is a sign of
disobedience, and is not a good sign about the site either. (Read more about the Church's ruling on him and my own observations, click here --- spreading a cult of exclusivity, also predictions about a "useless miracle" that won't help sinners convert, (Heaven never performs useless miracles that don't aid conversion of souls), declares you HAVE to believe in the Itapiranga apparitions or you won't live through to see the Age of Peace, which is nonsense as we are not required to believe apparitions, etc. definite signs of a fake)
*** To recap: if a so-called mystic says Christ is coming before the Last Day to rule for a period time on earth, like an 'intermediate coming' before the Second Coming, which the Countdown to the Kingdom is showing in their graphic, it is a heresy. Also, if you see anyone saying Christ's is coming to literally or spiritually to 'reign on earth' for 1,000 years, or, that the promised Age of Peace will last a literal 1,000 years on earth, this is heresy - it is a Chiliast / Millenarian / Gnostic heresy that was condemned by the Church centuries ago. (Click here for more info on why this is a heresy.)
You can spot fake mystics when they get this wrong, and also when the get the timing and the reign of the Antichrist wrong, (click here for more info on the timing of the Antichrist and authentic teachings and prophecies regarding it.)
Please don't fall for the Countdown to the Kingdom's timeline of events - it is not following Church teaching. The Antichrist does not come before the Age of Peace, neither does Christ.
Also, Christ is NOT coming personally to renew the Church on earth before the Last Day - this means Christ would have to rule on earth before the End of Time because the Church Militant, which is the part of the Church that needs 'renewing', will exist only as long as time lasts. So, to say Christ is coming personally to "renew the Church" is to say He is coming back before the end of time to renew or to reign over the Church Militant on earth, and this too is a variant of the Chiliast heresy.
Another warning, the Countdown site is promoting the 'Illumination of Conscience' event - there is an indication in the prophetic warnings of Ven. Bernardo Maria Clausi that this is also a red flag to watch for. According to him, we are NOT to pay attention to anyone attempting to go into details of a "never before revealed universal and momentary plague" that could kill the ungodly as God is NOT going to reveal the details of it to anyone, He is reserving this secret to Himself. Therefore, Ven. Clausi may have given us another sign for us to spot a fake mystic - prophets that go into such details on this 'never before revealed momentary universal plague' cannot be authentic.
