This is an old movie, twenty years old or so anyway, I couldn't read the date on it, all about the apparitions of "Mary" that had been increasing up to that point. I wonder how many have appeared since then. Anyway it's a very careful biblical exploration of the nature of these apparitions and the claims made for "Mary" by the Roman Catholic Church.
As I watched it I became impressed with how literally this "Mary" is Antichrist, that is, she literally puts herself in the place of Christ by all the titles and attributes "she" claims for herself, from "Mediatrix" to "Co-Redemptrix" to sufferer for our sins and so on. When it is then shown how the popes, and particularly Pope John Paul, give glory to her and point people to her and take seriously the messages from her apparitions, it puts the popes in the position of "False Prophet," much like that second beast in the Book of Revelation chapter 13 who gives glory to the first beast that has the number 666 which we identify as the Antichrist. the False Prophet causes a statue to be made to the first beast and commands that people worship it. All this very neatly fits those themes of the Book of Revelation.
Except that it's hard to connect "Mary" or the Marian apparitions with the first beast or the number 666, at least I don't know how to make that conjnection. As I've many times pointed out here, the number 666 fits the Latin title of the Pope, "Vicar," or "Substitute" for "the Son of God." And the Pope certainly does claim to be that ssubstitute in many ways.
That is one of the reasons I keep going with the Protestant Reformers in identifying the Pope as THE Anticrhist, and the Great Apostasy as first of all the doctrines of the Roman Church, though we can also see it spreading throughout the churches in these last days. In other words I don't think we need to be looking for some unknown figure to arise in the world as the Antichrist, I think he's been year for somje 1500 years. HOWEVER, it's hard to avoid the fact that Hitler was definitely an Antichrist figure too, and Hitler had a Pope that could be said to have played the role of False Prophet to him in some sense. So Hitler being a political leader although he was also in some sense worshipped, is another reason to think the Antichrist of the end days won't be the Pope but the Pope will be the False P{rophet.
The Antichrist Beast has to fulfill the 666 identifier and so far onlyh the Pope does that I know of. And very nicely since the Latin title iself contains the very Roman numerals that add up to that number. No other candidates for that number are so neatly derived.
And it's also otherwise hard to identify "Mary" with the first beast or Anticrhist of Revelation 13. In the film she is identified with teh Harlot of Revelation 17, but that isn't very convincing either. The Harlot is a clear antithesis to the Bride of Christ, in other worse she represents the false Church, which since she rides a bedast that represents the city of Rome is clearly the Roman Church. The Mary of the apparitions is certainly a Roman Church invention who is worshipped by Popes as well as millions of Catholics, but I find it hard to identify her with the Harlot which so neatly opposes the Bride of Christ..
However, as I've mentioned from time to time here, Alexander Hislop who wrote the book "The Two Babylons" which traces the pagan religion of Babylon to the Roman Church, speculated that the Beast could be "Mary." When you see in the film the millions of people who come to adore and worship the apparitions, and all the testimonies to supernatural signs and wonders that attend tha apparitions, the connection between them and the Antichrist Beast is nhot at all farfetched. It's just that there doesn't seem to be any cleare way to identify her with the characteristics of the beast of Rebvelation 13 or the number 666 which identifies it or "him." If Hislop showed a connection with the 666 I missed it.
Nevertheless the claims of the apparitions that usurp the role of Christ, its milllionbs of worshippers, its signs and wonders, the fact that Mary is worshipped by Popes, all put "her" in the role of Antichrist, certainly AN Anticrhist, but one that has enormous religious significance.
'
Itg's also interesting that one of the apparitions specifically asks people to worship statues of her. The False Prophet will have an image made of the Beast and have the power to cause it to appear alive, and will command that people worhip it, and will have people killed who refuse. As Jan Markell has pointed out there are now gigantic statues in various parts of the world that have the unusual ability of representing anyone and make that person seem to be alive. I don't know who erected them or why, but they certainly sound like something that could fit right into that prophecy of Revelation 13.
At the very least all this just shows how very close the very End must be.

The Pope, Apparitions of "Mary" and Bringing the True Gospel to Catholics
Ex-Catholic Mike Gendron is the guest on the latest Understanding the Times radio show, discussing the role of Poe Francis in these last days. Apparitions of "Mary" are increasing around the world.
Mike Gendron has a ministry to Catholics to give them the message of salvation through Christ since they don't get that message in their churches. His website is Proclaiming the Gospel.

Questions and Thoughts for Dan Bongino about his COVID and Salvation
Got lost trying to find Dan Bongino's email so gave up to write my message here. He'll never see it out here in the cyberboonies but it's got a general message too that belongs in a post, and maybe eventually I'll find his email anyway.
Bongino took over the radio time that Rush Limbaught used to have. He's nothing like Rush but he's a strong radio host so I think he's a good replacement. I usually only hear part of his show which was also the case with Rush, or all the talk shows for that matter.
Anyway he recently reported two things about his personal life that raised issues. the first was his report of having had COVID last week, that it was a very bad case although he'd been vaccinated, and he mentioned that he was given certain treatments: I think he mentioned vitamin D but I'm bnot sure of that, though he did mention Hydroxychloroquine and Ivermectin and Quercetin as well as Monoclonal Antibodies. he got all this in Florida where Governor DeSantis has made treatments available to everybody.
I wondered immediately why he had such a bad case of COVID and suspect he wasn't taking anything to boost his immune system as we all should be doing. I don't know since he didn't say but I'd really like to know. We should all be taking Vitamin D above all, but C helps and Zinc is important. At least those. But prophylactic doses of Ivermectin or Hydroxychloroquinea are a very good idea too and lots of people who have chosen not to be vaccinated take those things. HCQ and Quercetin are ionophores which act to open the cell to zinc. It's zinc which kills the virus. A higher dose at the beginning stage of infection is for treating the disease. But again, vitamin D is the main thing everybody should be takinprotect against the virus.
The authorities won't tell you that, all they want to do is push the vaccines, and we know by now that the vaccines do not prevent the disease. they say they protect from the worst bouts of it and from death but after what Bongino said I wonder about that too.
He was given these things as treatment, though, he reported, but he didn't mention zinc and I 'd like to know if that was merely an oversight or he wasn't given zinc. Zinc is essential with botyh HCQ and Quercetin, both of which he said he was given, so they would hve been more or less useless if no zinc was given with them. Any zin in his system from his diet would get into the cells but that is not likely to be anywhere near enough to knowck out the virus. The Ivermectin, however, should have helped, as long as it was given early enough which it sounds likme it was -- within a few days of his first symtpomns.
But from what I've been hearing it would have been the Monoclonal Antibodies (I think that's what the drug Regeneron is) are just about miraculous at curing the diseease at whatever stgage it's given, so if the other treatments didn't do much, and who knjows, that certainly would have.
Butt the question I had was whether they gave him zinc.
The other topic is about his life as a Catolic. It sounds like he's a sincere believer who prays and tries to live the Christian life, but he isn't saved and doesn't know it, as Catholics usually aren't taught the truth about salvation. At one point he said about someone else that he should realize he's going to have to give an account of his deeds when he reaches those pearly gates, as if that's what everyone will have to do. But it's only those who are not saved who will be judged by their deeds and he apparently doesn't know that. He doesn't know that Jesus died for our sins and paid the FULL price for our salvationj so that there isn't one thing for us to do except believe it and trust in it. (He might find if he ever does get saved that all that rough language he has so much trouble controlling just goes away. That's what happened to me, just about the first clue that I was saved was how my bad language just disappeared. Unfortunately it came back again later through bad company -- even though we're saive, meaing our spirit is regenerated, we will not be completely free of the flesh or sin nature until we die. In this life we have to learn to choose to “walk in the Spirit” so we won’t fall into the flesh.) but I',m motly successfully resisting it nows.)
So that's for Dan Bongino and anybody else it might apply to:
SUMMARY:
1. Was he taking anything such as Vitamin D to protect against COVID before he got sick? It’s possible hed not have had such a severe case if he had been.
2. Was he given zinc with the HCQ and Quercetin as treatment or not? If not they problably didn’t contribute anything to his recovery.
3. As a Catholic he's been deprived of the truth about salvation and he needs to recognize that we are saved ONLY by grace through faith in Christ and our good deeds have NOTHING to contribute to it. They are the result of salvation, not the means to it.
