Apologies if you’ve reached out to me and I haven’t been able to respond. As I’m putting the finishing touches on The First and Last Deception, I’ve had to mostly set aside my email inbox (and other things; i.e., podcasts). But I will be getting back to all of that soon!
The book will indeed be released on January 1st. Although Amazon only let me set up a pre-order page for the eBook, it will be released simultaneously as an eBook and a Paperback–at that same page. (I also hope to have the audiobook completed and ready to order on that same day, although it’s possible there will be a slight delay for that.)
This book could not be coming at a more opportune time. Even as someone who has written against the ET/UFO Deception for years, I am stunned to see how quickly and powerfully it is unfolding, and how many are falling for it on both sides of the aisle (not to mention even those within the Church who should know better). Just last month, there was yet another US Congressional Testimony. There, the world was told again, by government officials, that aliens are among us.
It is all a lie, and it is a deliberate paving of the way for a pseudo-messianism in opposition to Jesus Christ.
It is urgent and essential that everyone be guarded against this lie, which is–more and more each day–promising to become The Great Deception itself.
It is, moreover, vital to understand the genuinely Catholic assessment of it. Many Evangelicals are sounding the alarm (and long have been), but unfortunately their own well-meaning efforts to do so often involve leading their followers into other errors. The only approach to the ET/UFO Deception (and, now, also, the AI Deception) that will keep one’s soul safe is one guided by Scripture, Tradition, AND Magisterium (and, yes, good science and philosophy). My upcoming book provides all of those, and in a very compact package. The First and Last Deception is much shorter and much easier to read than my massive 2023 tome, Only Man Bears His Image. However, this is not only a far smaller version of that book. It also contains the fruits of a massive amount of additional research and analysis I’ve done in the year since. No one will want to miss this one.
Now, on to a few thoughts on the days ahead.
There is much rejoicing at the massive “Red Wave” that just swept America. I, too, rejoice in this. Yet we should be reminded that this is no onset of the Era of Peace. Anything but. And too many are letting their guard down; they are forgetting the lessons they recently learned at Boot Camp.
“When people say, “There is peace and security,” then sudden destruction will come upon them as travail comes upon a woman with child, and there will be no escape.” —1 Thessalonians 5:13
The same nefarious global elite still retain the vast majority of the power in this world that they long have.
They may even try something unprecedented to disrupt the transfer of power that is planned for January. Perhaps they will seek to formally initiate World War 3. Who knows. I say this not as a prediction, much less a prophecy: only a warning to remain vigilant. Now is not the time to sit back, relax, and relish apparent victory.
I have quoted this passage from Jesus to Luisa often:
“My daughter, the whole world is upside down, and everyone is awaiting changes, peace, new things. They themselves gather to discuss about it, and are surprised at not being able to conclude anything and to come to serious decisions. So, true peace does not arise, and everything resolves into words, but no facts. And they hope that more conferences may serve to make serious decisions, but they wait in vain. In the meantime, in this waiting, they are in fear, and some prepare themselves for new wars, some hope for new conquests. But, with this, the peoples are impoverished, are stripped alive, and while they are waiting, tired of the sad present era, dark and bloody, which enwraps them, they wait and hope for a new era of peace and of light. The world is exactly at the same point as when I was about to come upon earth. All were awaiting a great event, a new era, as indeed occurred. The same now; since the great event, the new era in which the Will of God may be done on earth as It is in Heaven, is coming – everyone is awaiting this new era, tired of the present one, but without knowing what this new thing, this change is about, just as they did not know it when I came upon earth. This expectation is a sure sign that the hour is near. ” – July 14, 1923
The election of anti-globalist leaders in unprecedented proportions is a testimony to precisely this sentiment that the message above refers to. People are absolutely sick and tired of the status quo. They know that “something’s got to give.” And among so many other signs, this, too, is “a sure sign that the hour is near”
But as Jesus also says, people are unaware of what He is preparing.
The Era of Peace is coming. But the Chastisements will come before it. Buckle up.
So take some prudent measures (to whatever extent you discern you are called), set them in a corner somewhere, and forget about them so that you can focus on the mission. Trusting the Divine Mercy, Proclaiming the Divine Mercy. Living In the Divine Will, proclaiming the Divine Will. Do these with all your heart, and the Kingdom will come sooner than you could have imagined.
I have been in touch with a very special priest for over a year now, and I have become convinced that the visions he has been receiving for almost all of his life are indeed authentic calls from Heaven. They are also prophetic.
I will call him Fr. John. He wishes to remain anonymous—and for all the right reasons. He is an American Catholic priest in good standing, and as he is very dedicated to his priestly ministry and to his flock. He does not want public exposure for his visions to risk interfering with that. But I can assure you based on my own conversations with him and my own knowledge of his situation that he is indeed a good, holy, humble, orthodox Catholic priest who is deeply faithful to his vocation and is under spiritual direction.
Since he began sharing his visions with me over a year ago, they have edified me greatly, and I am sharing some of them here (with his permission) in hopes that they will do the same for you. When he verbally described these visions to me, I can tell you that I really felt the truth in them.
What follows is not my interpretation or understanding of his visions – I asked him to type up the visions himself, so that there would be no risk I misremembered something as he explained them to me. All I did was optimize the formatting, etc.
I’d like to highlight the following excerpts from the document above:
The living crucifix rapidly descended toward me. The sky remained a clear blue, and yet the clouds seemed to dissipate in the wake of an extraordinary golden-silver light that emanated from Him and the Cross. The rapidity with which the Crucifix descended itself seemed to impress upon me the notion that “He was coming” and that much would indeed “be burned away in His wake.. For a number of years following, this same vision repeated maybe half-a-dozen times, always building upon itself, more elements “added” each time. .”
He then shares more details (please read them all) from the vision, such as:
The sound is coming from the Cross itself; the rumble of the Cross passes through every living thing, so that it literally vibrates in our bones, in every cell. All at once, we—the entire world—knows that God is real, and that Jesus Christ is Lord.
Note that Fr. John received this vision long before he had ever heard of “The Warning,” yet the experience is nevertheless in this aspect (and many other ways he explained to me) a striking prophecy about precisely that. Combining such observations along with other features of his life and ministry as it now stands—as they relate to certain details of the visions (I cannot share more than that)—a striking inference emerges: if these visions are authentic, and I believe they are,… then The Warning is likely very imminent.
***
I have been hearing from so many people around the world who are experiencing entirely new and extremely heavy crosses in their lives right now. If you are among such souls, please know that this is for a reason, and you are not alone. Your brothers and sisters in Christ across the world are going through the same thing. God is putting the finishing touches on the preparation of your soul for what lies ahead. Do not lose trust. God is about to act in an extraordinary way. Hold on.
Remember that those times in which you feel desolation are not the times to make course-changes to your life; such suggestions, when they arise in those circumstances, are usually temptations from the Devil.
So, keep praying all of your prayers; keep frequenting the Sacraments; keep doing what God has called you to do; keep faithful to your vows and your vocation; keep the flame of hope alive in your heart even for those close to you who seem to have suddenly turned away from God definitively (even if they have died, and no matter how they died—simply assume they made it to Purgatory, and pray & fast for them with great hope). Keep your soul in God’s grace.
Let me share one more excerpt from the visions. Last year–I cannot remember if it was at a conference, or in a webcast, or what have you – I made reference to this part of the vision, as it is greatly encouraging. He first describes fire engulfing much of the world, but then adds:
…in the midst of the raging flames were groups of people. They stood together in circles, facing inward, with their backs to the fire. They each held a rosary in their hands and were praying. As they prayed, and regardless of the color and material of which their beads were made, each rosary emitted a radiant golden light. The light enveloped these groups of praying people. Wherever the light shown, the flames were halted. I distinctly remember seeing what I can only describe as “islands” of green grass and blue sky amidst the flames.
When the flames emerge, remind yourself of God’s promises.
“…my dear Jesus showed me, with facts, how the Sovereign Queen descended from Heaven with an unspeakable majesty, and a tenderness fully maternal; and She went around in the midst of creatures, throughout all nations, and She marked Her dear children and those who were not to be touched by the scourges. Whomever my Celestial Mother touched, the scourges had no power to touch those creatures…” —The Servant of God Luisa Piccarreta
Father John has received many more visions than these. If he discerns that more should be shared, then I will be sure to post them.
Soon, what can in one sense be called the greatest act of mercy in history–the most astonishing intervention of Almighty God ever to have transpired–will take place. But it will also be attacked by the Devil, and that attack has already begun.
(Note: I’ll be speaking in Virginia next Saturday!–along with Fr. Chris Alar, Mark Mallett, Christine Watkins, Christine Bacon, and Regan Long. Information here: https://www.truthspeakers.org/)
Before getting to the main content of this post, an important announcement:
For years, people have been asking me to put together a resource similar to my existing books on the Divine Will, but 1) Short, 2) Simple, and 3) Set up primarily for group studies, book clubs, or consecration regimens. I’ve long had that on my To Do list, but when Fr. Mark Goring encouraged me to do exactly that this summer, I decided to put the task up to the top of the same list. That work is now done! Here it is: An Introduction to Living in the Divine Will: 33 Lessons from Luisa Piccarreta. Link: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1957168080 If you’ve already read my 2021 book, Thy Will Be Done, then don’t feel like you have to read this book. Some of the material is new, but most if it is from Thy Will Be Done. However, if you’re new to the Divine Will and haven’t yet read much about it, I think this new book may be the best place to start. And if you’re looking for a cheap, small, simple book to hand out to others to introduce them to the Divine Will, I think you’ll find this your best bet. (Soon I’ll have a discounted bulk-order form up here at DSDOConnor.com; stay tuned.) As indicated in the subtitle, the book consists of 33 Lessons, and to facilitate consistency for group study, book clubs, consecration regimens, and such, each Lesson is exactly three pages. Lesson One is the introduction, and the remaining 32 lessons are split evenly between eight chapters; each chapter having 4 lessons. Thus there are 99 pages of primary content, along with several appendices. Although I’m not promoting this book specifically as a “33 Day Consecration to the Divine Will,” it certainly can be used as that; and for those who wish to use it that way, I’ve provided an appendix within the book that presents suggested prayers/practices for each of those 33 days (in addition to the “Lesson” corresponding to each day).
Soon, what can in one sense be called the greatest act of mercy in history–the most astonishing intervention of Almighty God ever to have transpired–will take place.
The Holy Spirit will come, to establish the glorious reign of Christ and it will be a reign of grace, of holiness, of love, of justice and of peace. With His divine love, He will open the doors of hearts and illuminate all consciences. Every person will see themself in the burning fire of divine Truth. It will be like a judgment in miniature. And then Jesus Christ will bring His glorious reign in the world. (May 22, 1988)
Note that this message was received by Fr. Gobbi at Heede, Germany—where, 40 years earlier, another approved apparition took place. In those messages, Jesus told the young seers (and I am taking this from the exhibit on Marian Apparitions developed by Bl. Carlo Acutis):
I will make myself known to the people. Every soul will recognize me as their God. I am coming! I am at the door! My love has planned this action before the creation of the world … May [My faithful] prepare themselves for great things. I am coming Myself and I will manifest my will. … Hell by now believes itself certain of victory, but I will take it away … I am coming, and with me peace shall come. I will build my Kingdom with a small number of elect. This Kingdom will come suddenly, sooner than what one thinks. I will make My light shine, which to some will be blessing and to others darkness. Humanity will recognize my love and my power. I will make known my justice and my mercy. My dear children: the hour is drawing near. Pray unceasingly and you will not be confused.
In a moment, I want to focus on Jesus’ final exhortation above, that we pray unceasingly so as to not be confused in light of the Warning. First, another important announcement.
Now, while I don’t know the date of the Warning, I can at least say with a fair degree of confidence that it won’t be within the next 2 weeks. Therefore, before the Warning itself happens, we will finally have a major movie coming out about it! The Great Warning, coming to U.S. theaters October 17th. I don’t have information on showtimes yet, but when they are available, they will be posted at www.TheGreatWarning.com . Here is a trailer:
The movie is truly an extremely powerful evangelization opportunity. The two bishops who pre-screened it have already strongly endorsed it (see Twitter post above): bishop David Ricken of Green Bay, Wisconsin and Archbishop Rogelio Cabrera Lopez, who is the head of Mexico’s Conference of Catholic Bishops.
I was in NYC filming for the movie in the summer of 2022, so I’m thrilled that it is at last coming out. Fr. Jim Blount, Fr. Rick Wendell, Christine Watkins, myself, Alan Ames, and others you may know are in this movie.
From the 2022 filming
Most people won’t read books or blog posts about the Warning, or even watch YouTube videos about it—but perhaps they’ll watch a “real” movie about it! My hope is that this movie will serve as a final effort to get the word out to as many people as possible about the Illumination of Conscience, shortly before that Great Event actually transpires. Indeed, the graces of the Warning will be far better received by those who are aware of its coming beforehand.
Just as importantly, those who also know about the prophecies of the Warning beforehand will be that much less likely to be deceived by what will happen shortly after the Warning. And that brings us back to Jesus’ exhortation above against being confused amid the Warning—which itself brings me to the third very important announcement of this blog post, though deeply related to the other two!
As I’ve always said about my 2023 book, Only Man Bears His Image, it is a reference work. At 756 pages, I know that most people won’t have the time to read the whole thing, but with its detailed Table of Contents, my objective in publishing the book was to provide a handy quick-reference guide to refuting and addressing each element of the now explosive “NHI” (Nonhuman Intelligence) Deception—that is, the claim that extraterrestrials and rational/superintelligent AI exists and is now among us, ready to enlighten us. I still hope people will continue to acquire that book for that purpose.
Even more important, however, would be a book intended to be read from cover to cover! And I have been busy at work writing exactly that since publishing Only Man Bears His Image one year ago this month. I am almost ready to release it. It is called The First and Last Deception: Aliens, UFOs, AI, and the Return of Eden’s Demise; it will be half the length of Only Man Bears His Image, and I’ll also be making an audiobook of this one. The Amazon page linked there is for an eBook, since I could not set up a pre-release page for the paperback, but rest assured that it will be available as a paperback as well upon publication. (And I will also be selling it here at DSDOConnor.com for those who would prefer not to use Amazon.) A publication date was required, so I set it as January 1, 2025, however I might be releasing the book sooner than that.
Although the book is only half the size of Only Man Bears His Image, it covers the same general topics. But it also contains the fruits of a very large amount of additional research I’ve done (on top of the already massive amount of research I did for OMBHI), as well as covering some developments of the last year. So I really had to condense topics extensively in order to incorporate all that new research while also cutting the size in half! Suffice it to say, each page is a major punch to the Devil’s face, and anyone who reads it with an openness to the Truth will come away from that reading being strongly safeguarded against the Great Deception.
Now, what does this third announcement have to do with the post’s second announcement?
Everything.
In 2021, I wrote of how the nefarious powers that be would surely endeavor to oppose the Warning almost immediately after its occurrence. At that time, I speculated that they may try to write it off as a mere result of some globally-simultaneous hormone-release triggered by an influx of some cosmic radiation.
That may well happen.
But in pondering the question much more in the years since, I’ve concluded that another pseudo-explanation of the Warning would be far more destructive, and thus, I believe, is also more likely to be employed by the demons.
The evil elite seeking to explain away the Warning as a mere hormonal result of an influx of gamma rays only endeavors to dismiss the graces of the Warning. But the Devil wants to do more than merely dismiss the grace of God. He wants to attack it and attempt to subsume its effects into his own diabolical agenda. For example, he does not merely tempt Christians to stop attending Mass; he tempts them to replace it with some idol—perhaps obsession with work, sports, or hobbies. But he would be most pleased if he could seduce men to turn from the Holy Mass and instead attend a demonic Pagan ritual.
Similarly–to this same end–nothing would be so potently malicious as claiming that the Warning was actually the opening event of the Era of the Extraterrestrial; the Dawn from the Galaxies—which is only the unleashing of hell masquerading as the “Dawn from On High” (Luke 1:78)— breaking upon us.
Immediately after the Warning, I believe that even the Devil won’t be able to manipulate the effect of its outpouring of graces. He will be cast out for a brief time. But as the weeks after the Warning continue on, and the shock of the Warning wears off, those who do not remain firm in holding onto their pious convictions will be susceptible to deceitful machinations. And that is the most dangerous time. For this is when men will be told that the pangs of conscience they felt–the veritable mini-Judgment-Day they experienced–was actually just a warm up for the Big Reveal (of the ETs, or the “superintelligent AI”), which will “correct all the mistaken interpretations of that event and direct the lessons it delivered in the path of cosmic evolution.”
But let’s back up for a moment.
While we do not know exactly how the future will transpire, we can use several sure premises to discern the signs of the times and have a good idea:
The world today is in such a historically degenerate moral and spiritual state as to surely need an unprecedented Divine Intervention.
Many reliable prophecies have assured us that precisely this is coming–by way of a miracle that could not be more appropriate: A global illumination of all consciences. That is, The Warning.
The prophecies have likewise indicated that this event will happen very soon.
Immediately after the Warning, the Devil and his minions will have, as their chief objective, robbing that Event’s graces from souls.
The Devil has already primed the world for “Ontological Shock” — a perverse “Great Awakening” through the intervention of Extraterrestrials and heralded by their revelation upon the “Day of Disclosure.” The entire message of the Ufologists is permeated to the core by pseudo-messianic predictions of an imminent great event, mediated by the “interdimensional UFOs,” that will shock everyone to a so-called “new consciousness.” This is almost a word-for-word diabolical aping of what God has told the true prophets about the Warning
One cannot even imagine a more sinisterly fitting way to purport to explain the Warning and steer its effects in a diabolical direction than by employing the groundwork of the ET Deception that is already firmly established—not only in fiction but now at the highest levels of society (e.g., even from the mouths of national leaders in U.S. Congressional Hearings.) The ET Deception is not just another theoretical framework that would be effective in the present malicious undertaking: it is an explosive new religion that has taken every sector of society by storm.
Consider this: The signs indicating the imminence of the Warning are increasing in lock step with the signs indicating the imminence of the so-called “Day of Disclosure;” the day of revelation of the “ultra-evolved” aliens that come to enlighten and save us.
One is God’s truth. The other is a diabolical lie. Yet the trajectory of each appears to be converging in the times ahead with a stunning accuracy. With every new sign that arises indicating the Warning is coming very soon, so too does another indication arise that the powers-that-be are preparing for the “Day of Disclosure.” (And any doubt about that will be resolved upon reading The First and Last Deception.)
I’ll ask another question: what does this third announcement have to do this post’s first announcement?
Again, everything.
The chief exhortation of the heralds of the “Ontological Shock” of the NHI Deception is The Anti-Fiat.
Now, The (true) Fiat is the central theme of God’s Story–that is, History itself. Just as importantly, it is the central theme of His eschatological interventions in the world today and moving forward: The Third Fiat, Living in the Divine Will.
It should be unsurprising, therefore, that the Devil’s central theme is the opposite. When one researches the heralds of the NHI Deception—the ET promoters, the Ufologists, and the exponents of “Artificial General Superintelligence”—(and by now I have become extremely acquainted with their antics through years of intense study), he quickly realizes that the chief exhortation of these deceivers is always the same: they are begging us to just give our “yes” to the aliens; to the UFOs; to the “sentient AI.” They repeatedly insist that everything hinges upon us giving our free consent to their intervention. That is, they repeatedly announce the Anti-Fiat with all the zeal of an anti-apostle. (Only Man Bears His Image touched on this, but The First and Last Deception will expose the war of the Anti-Fiat against the Fiat in more detail.)
Therefore, not only are the signs of the Warning’s imminence increasing in stride with the strengthening of the NHI Deception—so too are the signs of the imminence of the of the Triumph of the Divine Will. With the proliferation of these diabolical claims of Extraterrestrials and superintelligent AI, the Devil is preparing his counter-attack against both the Warning and the Divine Will. As the Warning grows closer and as the revelations on the Divine Will continue to spread, we should anticipate that the Devil’s attacks will likewise increase.
Mankind, collectively, has just about reached the very depths of evil. Soon, men will find themselves so ruined by their own sinfulness that they will realize they must hand their self-wills over to someone other than himself.
The question is whether they will hand their self-wills over to God, or over to the Devil (assuming a seductive disguise).
…whether they will give their Fiat to Jesus Christ—Jesus of Nazareth, the one and only Incarnation of God—or whether they will give it to “the ‘mystery of iniquity’ in the form of a religious deception offering men an apparent solution to their problems at the price of apostasy from the truth.” (Catechism of the Catholic Church, §675)
Choose wisely to whom you give your complete Fiat. Only One is worthy of that.
