CHAPTER I
PRELUDE
TO CHASTISEMENTS
Two days of darkness
The Flame says :
“There will be two days of
awful darkness, different from those announced. The whole sky will be
violet and red, so low that the tops of big trees won’t be visible.
These two days will serve as a warning to you, and be like a proof of
His goodness to you, as well as proof of the imminence of God’s anger on
earth.
“You will not be spared
this darkness. Up until now, no soul has mentioned it, because it is not
the darkness, which is known by many people.
“During those two days,
the trees which still have some leaves, will be burnt – it will be as if
a great fire had been lit over the entire earth. In the year, which
follows, fruit trees will not produce any fruit. The rain, which will
fall from this low sky, will have an awful smell and will be like
hailstones of fire; wherever those hailstones will fall, a mark of a
visible burn will be left behind. Your houses will be preserved, except
those, which are built with very, light material.
“The water from this rain
will be black, a frightening black, and almost the entire earth will be
marked by this stain, but it will not harm the food of Christians.
“The Flame says that in
Brittany, during those two days of darkness, a light will appear in this
low sky, but it will not be seen because we won’t be allowed to put our
faces to a door opening : otherwise, a burning flash of lightning will
shoot down and darken the pupil of the eye...
