The Fatima Secret

"The Fatima Secret" by Michael Heseman (with an Introduction by Whitley Strieber). On October 13^th of this year (2017), it will be the 100^th anniversary of the incident in Fatima when three prophesies were given to three children by a vision supposedly from Mary, the mother of Jesus. She had appeared to the children several times, and eventually thousands came to see the miracle that was shown to them. The first two prophecies were released soon after, but the third was not released for many years, and even then what was released left doubts of their truths.  The Diplomatic Version was released in 1963, but was different from the one released in 2000, as the century was coming to a close. Some don’t believe we have the correct story yet. The remaining child was 93 in the year 2000, and being a nun was under the influence of the Pope. She was happy the prophecy was finally released, and some think she may have agreed with it to finally put it to rest. Although the author of this book believes the final release in 2000 was the truth, and I have no reason to question it.

            There have been many Marian prophesies throughout the centuries, and each one seems to have altered history in some way. Remember Joan of Ark? The messages in 1917 were for a Russia not yet in power. A Russia that would, in the future, become an atheist nation, and the church was pressed to bring them back to the Savior.

            The author also brings the similarity of aliens and UFOs to the subject of Marian prophesies, with spinning saucer shapes shinning like the sun, and warnings alien abductee’s receive.

            The author admits he isn’t an overly religious man, but believes in the visions, and also believes in a higher, divine intelligence. I found the story of Fatima very intriguing, and though I have problems with Catholics praying to statues and pictures, as well as praying to Mary or Saints, I have to admit the visions sound real to me. It appears that Catholics experience the Marian visions while the rest of us are abducted by UFOs. However, I realize there are probably one billion Catholics in this world, so why wouldn’t they be the logical choice for the Marian visions?

            One thing is for sure, I believe we are living in the final days, and whatever has been prophesied for us may soon happen. I also believe there are good and evil powers at work, and we should be careful what we believe, and who we follow. Read the book with an open mind. It was well written, and I enjoyed learning about the visions. Looking at the world today, and the chaos, maybe we need a few more visions. Highly recommended.
