Conversations with Melchizedek – Did America just Witness a Modern-Day Miracle?

.

Hurricane Irma is over and the worst, most powerful hurricane to ever exist in the Atlantic Ocean plowed through the entire State of Florida from Key West to Jacksonville, Miami to Tampa and Tallahassee with just five deaths, four resulting from car or truck wrecks, and minimum injuries.

Even more amazing is within 48 hours many evacuees will be allowed to start returning back to their homes and businesses and a significant number of the five million without electricity will see it restored much earlier than the dire predictions of the news and weather reports.

Several unnatural events took place during this foreboding natural disaster that defy logic, natural law, and human understanding, and resulted in a remarkable change in the results of the disaster.

Call it what you like, here are some of the “miracles” resulting during Irma.

The most powerful hurricane in the history of the Atlantic Ocean got stalled in the Cuban Mountains and lost significant parts of its strength, defying all weather predictions.  It never regained the Category (CAT) 7 power (as analysts rated it) when it reached the Florida mainland.

At first sustained winds of 180 mph with gusts to 235 mph were supposed to hit Florida by this CAT 5 hurricane.  Various weather experts said if ratings went beyond CAT 5 Irma would be a CAT 7.  Instead there were sustained winds of 50 – 80 mph and occasional gusts reaching 80 – 130.  In addition, the CAT 5 super storm landed as a CAT 3 and left Florida as just a tropical storm.

The news media said we were “lucky” but public officials acknowledge it is “miraculous.”  Melchizedek says “praise be to God the Father of all Creation.”

Yet that is only the beginning of the miraculous swath Irma traversed through the entire length of the Florida peninsula.

Beyond that, somehow this monster storm over 400 miles wide was able to shift directions over and over again like a NASCAR racer at Daytona as the eye first moved from the east to west side of Southern Florida.

First it moved west away from the 5.5 million people in Miami to the 357,000 people in the Naples area.  Then it reversed itself and moved east again bypassing the 3 million residents in the Tampa area as it plodded up the center of the state before moving west again and avoiding a direct hit on Orlando and Jacksonville, another 4 million people.  It was almost as if the hand of God was moving it along the way.

The news media said we were “lucky” but public officials acknowledge it is “miraculous.”  Melchizedek says “praise be to Allah the Father of all Creation.”

There is more as the catastrophic storm surge the media said could reach 20 feet high in all the towns and cities along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts seemed to disappear.  Only Miami and Jacksonville areas experienced any surge impact of significance and it began receding by the next morning as the storm moved north.

The news media said we were “lucky” but public officials acknowledge it is “miraculous.”  Melchizedek says “praise be to Yahweh the Father of all Creation.”

Then another unpredictasble weather anomaly occurred as some highly vulnerable bay areas, expecting huge surges, astounded the media when the waters started receding as Irma approached, just the opposite of what was expected.

From Sarasota Bay to Tampa Bay water levels kept dropping nearly draining the areas and exposing sights formerly underwater.  The sudden drop in water levels also trapped a few Manatee who were saved by good Samaritans.

This mysterious anomaly resulted in the news media and weather experts saying those trillions of gallons of water disappearing would return as part of the storm surge potentially making it twice as catastrophic when it hit land.  In yet another of the many extraordinary coincidences by the next morning when the storm surge should have flooded the low-lying areas of the bays, the missing water had returned but no storm surge and what surge there was never breached the sea walls.

The news media said we were “lucky” but public officials acknowledge it is “miraculous.”  Melchizedek says “praise be to all Gods who are the Father of all Creation.”

After the horrors of hurricane Harvey, which was an “unlucky” storm by media standards, this series of miraculous events spawned by Irma seem to mark a change in the national and human consciousness.

All of America responded to the tragedy of Harvey and collectively prayed for the people of Texas as day after day of torrential rains pounded them with up to five feet of water.  Somehow Harvey defied physics and natural law also as it twice turned around and went back into the Gulf of Mexico to re-intensify.

Harvey woke us up to the human tragedies unfolding, a time when our national consciousness was obsessed with politics, and the bevy of people and causes dominating the media.  We were trapped in a world dominated by fear as manifested in wars, greed, politics, and pure hatred instead of tolerance.

Guess what, Harvey knock all that fear mongering off the television screens and nightly news as Americans responded to Harvey with perhaps the greatest humanitarian effort in world history.

Volunteers, heroes and heroines, essential supplies, and massive amounts of financial aid poured in to the victims of Harvey and it was fueled by a groundswell of Prayers, prayers to all Gods of all religions including God, Allah, Yahweh, ad infinitum.  We were all united as one in a great humanitarian outburst.

Melchizedek hopes it will lead to our realization of a few inalienable facts.  We all share a common desire to live a “good” life.  We all can care and pray for humanity.  We all are Creations of the Creators.  Finally, when we pray collectively, when millions become One, powerful miracles can happen if we just ask for help from the Creator for the common good of humanity.

When we pray collectively for a common good and direct that prayer to the Giver of all, “Our Father” Creator, there is no limit to the Power of Prayer.  Prayer is the answer to connecting between worlds and altering the course of our destiny.

“Luck” or Divine Providence?  What do you think?

Fatima mystery blends visions, miracles and supernatural

.

NICOLE WINFIELD and BARRY HATTON,Associated Press Wed, May 10 3:28 AM PDT 

VATICAN CITY (AP) — When Pope Francis travels to the Portuguese town of Fatima this weekend, he will be lending his blessing to a religious phenomenon that has captivated Catholics for a century: It involves visions of the Virgin Mary, supernatural meteorological events and apocalyptic prophesies of hell, Soviet communism and the death of a pope.

For doubters, the Fatima story is a trumped-up tale built around hallucinations. For believers, Fatima's message of peace, prayer and conversion from sin is as relevant today as it was 100 years ago, when three illiterate shepherd children first reported seeing visions of the Madonna.

The pope will canonize two of those children on Saturday and is likely to make his own Fatima message of peace and conversion as a weapon against secularism and the persecution of Christians today.

Here are details about Francis' Friday-Saturday trip to Fatima.

WHAT HAPPENED AT FATIMA?

The three shepherd children, siblings Francisco and Jacinta Marto and their cousin Lucia aged between 7 and 10 at the time, said the Virgin Mary appeared to them six times in 1917 and confided to them three secrets. The first two described an apocalyptic image of hell, foretold the end of World War I and the start of World War II, and the rise and fall of Soviet communism.

In 2000, the Vatican disclosed the long-awaited third secret, describing it as foretelling the May 13, 1981, assassination attempt against St. John Paul II in St. Peter's Square.

John Paul credited the Virgin Mary with saving his life. One of the bullets fired at him rests in the crown of the statue of the Virgin at the shrine.

Portuguese church officials initially doubted the veracity of the apparitions. Many doubters, though, became believers after the so-called "Miracle of the Sun" on Oct. 13, 1917. According to legend, the Fatima "seers" had predicted that the Virgin would perform a miracle that day, and tens of thousands of people flocked to Fatima and saw what witnesses reported was a vision of the sun "spinning" in the sky and zigzagging toward Earth.

The Portuguese church declared the visions authentic in 1930.

WHAT WAS GOING ON AT THE TIME?

At the time of the apparitions, Europe was still in the grip of World War I and Portugal's Catholic Church was facing a crisis after Portugal became a republic in 1910.

The republican government introduced a host of anti-clerical laws, including prohibiting religious teaching at schools. Priests and bishops were exiled.

In that context, the visions helped reinvigorate a persecuted church, giving it "a strong eruption of the supernatural in that difficult moment," said Monsignor Carlos Azevedo, who headed the commission that compiled 15 volumes of Fatima documentation.

Church officials point to the reported secrets about a Second World War, the dangers of Soviet communism and the persecution of the pope and Christians in general, as evidence of Fatima's prophetic message.

WHAT DO PEOPLE DO IN FATIMA?

Like the shrine at Lourdes, France, Fatima draws millions of pilgrims from around the world — about 6 million annually — to give thanks to Our Lady of Fatima, or to pray for help.

Many walk to the town, which is 150 kilometers (90 miles) north of Lisbon. Some complete the last few hundred meters (yards) on their knees. Others toss wax limbs into a fire beside the Chapel of the Apparitions as they recite prayers for healing.

The shrine also contains dozens of shops where trinkets are sold alongside rosaries, bibles and assorted images of the Virgin Mary, including one that changes color with the weather.

WHY IS THE POPE GOING NOW?

Initially, Francis had planned to travel to Fatima merely to mark the 100th anniversary of the apparitions. Francis added a bonus event to his visit by announcing in March that he had approved the miracle needed to make saints of Francisco and Jacinta Marto — who died of influenza within two years of the initial apparitions.

He will be the fourth pontiff to visit Fatima, after Pope Paul VI marked the 50th anniversary in 1967, John Paul came three times and Benedict XVI visited once, in 2010.

After becoming a nun, Lucia became the main raconteur of the Fatima secrets. She died in 2005. In February of this year, Portuguese church officials completed the first phase of her beatification cause by sending more than 15,000 pages of testimony and documentation to the Vatican for review.

WHAT WILL THE POPE DO IN FATIMA?

Francis arrives on Friday afternoon and meets privately with Portuguese President Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa.

After a spin in his popemobile at Fatima, he'll pray at the chapel dedicated to the apparitions and send a greeting out to the crowd, which is expected to number up to 1 million people.

On Saturday, Francis meets with Prime Minister Antonio Costa and visits the basilica built on the site where the children reported the first apparition. He'll celebrate the canonization Mass in the main square, lunch with his bishops, and return to Rome in the evening.

What Happened at Fatima? Today in History

.


Today in 1917 was the first of six appearances of the Holy Mother Mary to three children in Fatima, Portugal. It is the most famous and well documented of all the appearances of the Holy Mother.





It was during these apparitions that she shared prophecy, taught prayer and at the last visit gave them a miracle all 55,000 people attending witnessed. Later her prophecies would shake the world.





This article shows you the actual newspaper accounts and pictures taken at the site during the miracle of the sun.





Newspaper Report of Fatima Miracle on October 13, 1917





The following newspaper account appeared in the newspaper O Século. In the prologue to this article, the author distances himself from the apparitions, which he presents as a consequence of “the great tribulations that society was going through. The times of great tribulations have always favored the rebirth of religious ideas and the war adds to their expansion creating a fertile environment.”



Are we in the midst of a similar, or worse, great tribulation?



...In the astonished eyes of these people, whose attitude takes us back to Biblical times, and who, white faced with shock, with their heads uncovered, face the blue sky: the sun has trembled, the sun has made sudden movements that were outside all cosmic laws—the sun has “danced”, according to the typical expression of the country people.



Covered with dust on the running board of the bus from Torres Novas, an old man recites the Creed, from beginning to end. I ask who it is and they tell me it is João Maria Amado de Melo Ramalho da Cunha Vasconcelo. I see him later talking to those around him, who still have their hats on, begging them, strongly, to take them off in the presence of such an extraordinary demonstration of the existence of God. Identical scenes are repeated in other places and a woman shouts, bathed in tears and almost suffocated:

--What a shame! There are still men who don’t take off their hats in the presence of such a miracle!



And next they ask each other if they have seen or not seen. Most confess that they have seen the dancing of the sun; others, however, declare they have seen the smiling face of the Virgin herself. They swear that the sun spun about itself like a ring of fireworks, that it came down almost to the point of burning the Earth with its rays.

Some say that they saw it change color.



It is about three in the afternoon.



The sky is covered with clouds and the sun follows its path with its normal brightness and no one dares to look at it directly. And what about the little shepherds? Lucia, "she who speaks with the Virgin," tells everyone, with theatrical gestures, being held by a man who carries her from group to group, the war will end and that our soldiers will come back.



This news, however, does not increase the joy of those who are listening. The heavenly sign was everything. There is an intense curiosity to see the two little girls with their garlands of flowers. There are some who try to kiss the hands of the “little saints”, one of whom, Jacinta, looks more like she is going to faint than to dance. That which they were all looking for—the sign from Heaven—has been enough to satisfy them and make them convinced of their faith.



The people start to leave quickly. Without problems, without any disorder, without the need of any police. The pilgrims who leave more quickly are those who arrived earlier. They walk barefoot with their shoes on their heads or hanging on sticks. They are leaving with their soul satisfied to spread the good news to the villages they left. And what about the priests? Some came to this place, smiling, spending more time with the curious spectators than with the pilgrims who were anxious to see a miracle. Maybe one or another couldn’t hide the satisfaction which is so hard to hide on the faces of those who triumph.

Now it is up to those who are qualified to give their opinion on the strange dancing of the sun that today, in Fátima, caused hosannas to explode from the hearts of the faithful and caused astonishment —according to reliable sources—even in free thinkers and other people without religious beliefs who came to this now famous place.
