From Fatima To Niagara Falls

On the subject of Portugal today, where the Miracle of Fatima took place, I actually see that there is a lot more to add to it, this time across the ocean around Niagara Falls. This posting is actually an amalgamation of two sections of the compound posting, "The Aztec Prophecy" April 2018, 12) THE FATIMA CONNECTION and 18) THE ONTARIO PROPHECY.

THE ONTARIO PROPHECY

In January 1938 there was a definite storm on the horizon. Soon the world would descend into the worst war it had ever known. A war had ended nearly twenty years before that had been so terrible that it had been called "The War To End All Wars". Unfortunately, this would not prove to be the case.

There were two adjacent holy buildings in Niagara Falls, Canada, on the moraine right above the falls. There was the Loretto Academy and the other was Mount Carmel. Below it, near the falls, were two adjacent electrical power plants, Rankine and Toronto, and these seemed to symbolize earthly power while the holy buildings directly above symbolized heavenly power.

One night, there was a devastating fire in the Loretto Academy. As far as I can tell, no one was injured but it was very destructive in terms of property. The thing that was so interesting is that, while the rest of the building had been devastated, the north wing of the building remained untouched, and there was no internal firewall protecting it.

Notice how the roof of the north wing of the building looks different from the rest, which was rebuilt. Image from Google Earth.

A few days after the fire the nearby Honeymoon Bridge, connecting the U.S. and Canada, collapsed. In the days before the installation of the Ice Boom, the foundations of the bridge had been ripped right out by a massive amount of ice coming down the river.

The bridge was replaced by the present Rainbow Bridge, built while the Second World War was raging. On the Canadian end of the bridge an engraved quotation from the Bible was placed. It was about the world having been destroyed in the flood.

The Bible has the world being destroyed twice, due to it's sinfulness. The first was by the flood, the second will be by the Apocalypse. Has anyone stopped to think that maybe the "north wing" of the building represented Canada, and the meaning was that the world will be engulfed in apocalyptic war, but Canada, by obedience to God and not following the ways of the world, has a chance to be preserved?

The bridges could represent Canada's link to the outside world, and it's corrupt and godless ways. This is not about the U.S., at least not in particular, but the outside world in general. That is why the nearby bridge to the world beyond Canada collapsed just after the "north wing" was mysteriously preserved as the rest of the holy building was destroyed.

The world didn't even learn it's lesson from the Second World War, which was worse than the First. In 1961 there was conflict in Cuba as the Bay of Pigs invasion of the now-Communist island was attempted. The following year, the world would come as close as it ever probably has to nuclear war in the Cuban Missile Crisis.

Between those two events something else happened involving a bridge at Niagara, which here represent Canada's link to the ways of the outside world. Another bridge, a replica of the Rainbow Bridge, was being constructed at Lewiston-Queenston. In December 1961, a military jet aircraft had a mishap and crashed in the Niagara Gorge, on the U.S. side at Lewiston. The Sabre Jet is reported to have approached like a missile and missed construction workers on the bridge by only a few meters.

This is the Lewiston Queenston Bridge, built from the same plan as the Rainbow Bridge. Image from Google Earth.

The pilot managed to eject and no one was hurt. But could this, once again, be a warning? The world has to end twice, once by the flood and once by the Apocalypse, which will involve missiles. The Rainbow Bridge, closer to the falls and built during the Second World War, had the engraved Bible quotation about the flood. It's twin bridge, being built during the Cuban Missile Crisis, had the missile-like jet missing it's construction workers by only a few meters.

Now let's go forward to November 1967. There was another devastating fire at the two holy buildings above the falls at Niagara. This time it was the other building, Mount Carmel, is where it happened. This building is similar in form to the nearby Loretto Academy, now the Loretto Christian Life Center.

Once again, the fire involved the north wing of the building. But this time it was exactly the reverse of the Loretto Academy fire years before. In the Mount Carmel fire, only the north wing of the building was destroyed. The rest of the building was preserved. Notice that the north wing of the building is missing. Image from Google Earth.

Being in the latter part of 1967 this happened, of course, just after the return of the Old City of Jerusalem to the Jews, in the Six-Day War, that we know is the beginning of the countdown to the Apocalypse followed by the Return of Jesus to set up His Kingdom on earth, as we saw detailed in the posting on this blog, "The End Of The World As We Know It".

But if the "north wing" was the only part of the Loretto Academy that was preserved, but at Mount Carmel it was the only part destroyed, then this has to be considered as a warning. God wanted Canada to be a sacred and holy land and would like to preserve it and give it abundant blessings.

But that is not "written in stone", it is not a guarantee. It depends on obedience and godliness. After the countdown to Apocalypse began in 1967, God warned that the preservation of the "north wing" as demonstrated in the Loretto Academy fire, could be taken away. This was the wild times of the 1960s that brought abundant sin and drugs and lawlessness.

So the Loretto Academy fire, with the Honeymoon Bridge collapse, occurred just before the Second World War. The replacement bridge included the prominent engraved Bible quotation about the first end of the world, the Flood.

The narrow miss of the twin bridge of the replacement, during it's construction, by a disabled jet occurred during the Cuban Missile Crisis, when the world came close to Apocalypse, just as the jet had come close to the bridge. The Honeymoon Bridge was destroyed by ice, which is solid water, just as the world before the flood was destroyed by water. This also took place right by the falls, the most famous symbol of water in the world. The Lewiston-Queenston Bridge was almost destroyed by a jet, which is like the missiles that will be involved in the second destruction of the world, the Apocalypse.

The Mount Carmel fire, next to the Loretto Academy and again revolving around the "north wing" occurred just after the restoration of the Old City of Jerusalem to the Jews, which was long-ago foretold in the Bible.

Now, let's go forward to November 1979. This was a momentous month that really changed the world with regard to the Middle East. On November 4, the Iran Hostage Crisis began when Iranians seized the U.S. Embassy. On November 20, the siege of the Grand Mosque at Mecca began when it was taken over by hundreds of militants, who proclaimed one of their number as the Mahdi. This event changed the world more than is generally realized.

But what is interesting here is what happened between these two events. On November 10, there was a train derailment in Mississauga, Ontario that resulted in an explosion like a nuclear bomb. It is possibly the largest non-natural, non-nuclear explosion ever. No one was hurt but Mississauga had to be evacuated.

This explosion also came not long after Toronto's CN Tower had become the tallest structure in the world. But the fireball from the explosion reached far higher than this, to a height about three times that of the tower.

The explosion was due to a train. The CN Tower was next to train tracks, on former railroad land and had actually been built by the railroad, Canadian National or CN, hence the name of the tower. This means that the explosion could have been by the tower, but it wasn't.

What do you notice that is interesting here, with regard to the prophecies in the Bible? Remember the statue in Nebuchadnezzar's dream in Chapter 2 of the Book of Daniel. The four-part statue represents four successive empires that will achieve world prominence. But a stone, not cut by human hands, will fall from the sky onto the feet of the statue, utterly destroying it. The stone will then grow into a great mountain that will fill the entire earth. The statue represents the corrupt kingdoms of the world and the stone represents the Return of Jesus after the Apocalypse that destroys those kingdoms.

The explosion and the CN Tower involve the railroad. The two identical parallel tracks for the trains are just like the two identical and parallel feet of the statue. The CN Tower, which really is awesome, represents all of the great things that humans are capable of, in the same way that Nebuchadnezzar's statue represents the great kingdoms of the world. The explosion, on the tracks of the railroad which built the tower but reaching far higher than even the tower, represents the stone that falls and destroys the statue and then grows into a great mountain. Image from Google Street View.

The fact that the explosion didn't occur right at the tower, although it might have, and also that no one was killed in any of these disastrous events described here, although many could have, shows how much God cares about this wonderful country that is represented by the "north wing", and only wants it to follow him.

THE FATIMA CONNECTION

So what does this have to do with Fatima in Portugal?

There is a popular shrine in nearby Lewiston, NY, to commemorate the visions at Fatima and the following Miracle of the Sun. This shrine connects to what we saw above in that it is located nearby, especially near the Lewiston-Queenston Bridge that was narrowly missed by the crashing jet while the Cuban Missile Crisis was going on. Fatima Shrine in Lewiston continues the story in North America.

Following the First World War, during which the prophecies and miracle took place at Fatima in Portugal, it picks up with the Second World War and afterward around Niagara Falls. There are three major global conflicts represented around here.

The Second World War is warned about, as described above, by the devastating fire that spared the north wing of the Loretto Academy, followed a few days later by the collapse of the nearby Honeymoon Bridge.

The Cold War is warned about by the military jet that just missed workers constructing the Lewiston-Queenston Bridge, near the Fatima Shrine in Lewiston, during the Cuban Missile Crisis.

The conflict and culture clash with Islam, and how trouble in that part of the world could lead to nuclear war, is represented by the great explosion in Mississauga, in November 1979, coming between the beginning of the Iran Hostage Crisis and the seizure of the Grand Mosque in Mecca.

But how can we really be sure of the link between the prophecies that took place in Portugal and these events near Niagara Falls? One of the prophecies at Fatima in Portugal was that there would be a great light before an even more terrible war ( than the First World War ).

Sure enough, on January 25, 1938, there was the incredible Aurora Borealis ( northern lights ). It was like nothing that anyone had ever seen before and was visible all over the temperate northern hemisphere. Radio communication was impossible in many areas. This was not long before the Second World War is officially considered to have begun and when preliminary conflicts were already underway.

As it turns out, this occurred during the eight days between the devastating fire at Loretto Academy and the collapse of the nearby Honeymoon Bridge, as described above. Just as the great explosion at Mississauga occurred between the beginning of the Iran Hostage Crisis and the seizure of the Grand Mosque and just as the plane narrowly missed the Lewiston-Queenston Bridge while the Cuban Missile Crisis was going on.

FATIMA AND PEACE BETWEEN CHRISTIANS AND MOSLEMS

An important part of the Fatima message in Portugal, in 1917, was about peace and the end of the First World War. Fatima Shrine in Lewiston NY, not far from the Lewiston Queenston Bridge, brings that concept to peace between Christians and Moslems.

Fatima Shrine in Lewiston, NY, just north of Niagara Falls, is dedicated to the marian appearances which many believe to have taken place at Fatima, in Portugal. But take a look at how the circular domed shrine, represented by the red dot, is positioned relative to the accompanying rectangular building, represented by the red line, which contains a cafeteria, gift shop and, another shrine. Many Catholics from the Canadian side of the border have visited this shrine. Image from Google Earth.

Now, take a look at the positioning of the Dome of the Rock relative to the accompanying Al Aqsa Mosque, on the Temple Mount, also with a red dot and a red line. Image from Google Earth.

The positioning is virtually identical, except that the alignment between the rectangular and domed structures is east-west at Fatima Shrine and north-south on the Temple Mount.

Here is Fatima Shrine, in Lewiston NY, and the nearby area. I go here sometimes if I have a really special prayer to do. Images from Google Street View.

At top in the following two images from Google Street View is the Al Aqsa, and at bottom is the Dome of the Rock. The dome at Fatima Shrine seems to have been influenced by both.

Ironically, the name of Fatima is special to Moslems also. In fact more important than it is to Catholics, but not because of the marian appearances in Portugal. Fatima was the daughter of Muhammad and the wife of Ali, who was one of the successors of Muhammad as caliph. Ali is actually at the center of the split between Sunni and Shiite Moslems. Shiites felt that he was the rightful immediate successor to Muhammad, while Sunnis didn't. But he did eventually become the fourth caliph.

The town of Fatima in Portugal, which is where the name of the shrine in Lewiston comes from because the marian appearances took place there, was named for the daughter of Muhammad when the Iberian Peninsula was ruled by the Moslems, which we saw in the posting on this blog "When The Moors Ruled Spain".

When the Umayyad caliphate was succeeded by the Abassids, who built the new city of Baghdad to succeed the Umayyad capital of Damascus, the Umayyad caliphate continued on in Spain and Portugal. As it turns out, it was also the Umayyads who built both the Dome of the Rock and the Al Aqsa Mosque on the Temple Mount.

Without realizing all of this, at least I have never seen it documented, the builders of Fatima Shrine in Lewiston positioned a circular domed building and a rectangular building in exactly the same way as these two mosques on the Temple Mount. Fatima Shrine is built to commemorate visions of Mary which took place in the Portuguese town of Fatima, which was named by the caliphate which built the two mosques which would define the structure of Fatima Shrine.

Can this really be a coincidence? Is it a message, never pointed out until now, that God wants Christians and Moslems to get along? We saw the great significance of the marian appearances in Mexico, in "The Aztec Prophecy", this is the other of the two best-known such appearances so wouldn't it be logical that this has some great significance also?

Mary was the mother of Jesus and Fatima was the daughter of Muhammad. Mary is revered by Moslems also, and is actually discussed more in the Quran than in the Bible. Jesus is considered as an important prophet by Moslems, although not as the Son of God.

But why would Mary, who is highly valued by Moslems, appear to Christians in a town that was named for Muhammad's famous daughter?

There was also a caliphate named for Fatima, the Fatimids who founded Cairo. The Fatimid Caliphate existed at the time of the Crusades, and fought against them, which is when Catholics first became enthralled by those two structures on the Temple Mount.

Notice how there are the two adjacent buildings each at Fatima Shrine and the Temple Mount, and also the two adjacent holy buildings just above Niagara Falls.

As with all of my writing, I do not ask you to just believe anything. So, I will leave it up to you to come to your own conclusion as to whether all of this is just an interesting coincidence, or whether it is a message from God that he wants Christians and Moslems to get along, as the common descendants of Abraham, and the message goes through a shrine in Lewiston, NY.
