The war in Israel is devastating, as I'm sure many of you have seen, but we wanted to give you some perspective on this from what we've seen, at least for the best that we have right now. We have with us a guest who is a great friend, someone who writes extensively, and someone who has a great faith. His faith shines through more than anything else, although his research is impeccable. His book, Revelations, has been a great resource to understand heaven's warnings, and heaven's direction for us here on earth, from all of the Marian prophecies.
00:00:00.000This is John Henry Weston for LifeSite News. We wanted to bring you some kind of explanation of what we found so far going around in Israel.
00:00:10.320The war in Israel is devastating, as I'm sure many of you have seen, but we wanted to give you some perspective on this from what we've seen.
00:00:18.900We're going to give you an update on what's going on, at least for the best that we have right now.
00:00:22.800We're also going to give you some historical perspective of what's been going on there, how this plays out geopolitically in the area.
00:00:30.000But I also want to give you the perspective of prophecy.
00:00:34.520And for that, we have with us a guest who is a great friend, someone who has written extensively, and someone who has a great faith.
00:00:45.680His faith shines through more than anything else, although his research is impeccable.
00:00:51.060And his book called Revelations has been, you know, very well received by many.
00:00:57.500It is a great, great resource to understand heaven's warnings and heaven's direction for us here on earth from all of the Marian prophecies.
00:01:15.560So let's begin with a short prayer, a prayer for peace, a prayer for peace in Israel and over all the world, where we are now engulfed in wars, not only in Israel and Ukraine, but it looks like also starting all over the world.
00:12:19.520And it really did strike fear into, you know, those who are trying to still hope for peace.
00:12:34.660I think you have a lot of machinations here that this could blow up.
00:12:40.020But one of the things that, you know, retaliation breeds is, in fact, Xavier, if you can tell us that, that's a very interesting thing you told me before the show started with regard to what this might spark and what a major, major offensive that goes, you know, way beyond something that I think from the point of view of Benjamin Netanyahu and his supporters is we want to make more force that will,
00:13:10.020crush any kind of idea ever again to do anything, even remotely close to what this was or anything at all.
00:13:19.500We want to beat them into submission, into subjugation, whatever.
00:13:23.600There are calls for basically wiping out the Palestinians altogether from a lot of people in the West as well.
00:13:36.020There's a lot of calls for from Islam to wipe out all Jews and all Christians, by the way.
00:13:43.700And that's been going on for a long time.
00:13:45.420So in most wars, people like to see a good guys and a bad guys.
00:13:52.200But unfortunately, it's not that clear.
00:13:54.200Xavier, if you could explain what you think here.
00:13:56.340Well, look, I had so many conversations with some of my family's friends in France, one among which is a retired French colonel in the French army.
00:14:09.280That being said, this is the conclusion that are being taken by some of this particular group of people.
00:14:15.280When Hamas started this operation, it was planned by a mastermind that could not possibly have come from anything else but a superior headquarters gathering of military executives.
00:14:28.340So this does not come, certainly not from the little tiny Gaza Strip, nor from Hezbollah, which is the brother counterpart of Lebanon.
00:14:39.440Both entities, Hamas and Hezbollah, are both financed, are the strong arms, you could say, in this region, financed by Iran.
00:15:31.640Strike Israel and humiliate them as hard as they possibly could so that they would retaliate in turn.
00:15:37.700And first of all, torpedo, the diplomatic rapprochement, first of all, between Saudi Arabia and Israel, which was starting very well.
00:15:47.760Now, keep in mind that Saudi Arabia and Iran has completely or supposedly reconciled thanks to the intervention, incredibly enough, of China.
00:15:56.220So it does not play into Iran's play game for Saudi Arabia also to establish proper and civil diplomatic relationship with the enemy, Israel.
00:16:09.780So it appears that there is a trap set for Israel to step into.
00:16:15.580Harsh, vengeful retaliation, which will lead possibly, they hope, to criminal acts of war.
00:16:24.580At the same time, for Israel, this is a double, an hyper double tranchant.
00:16:32.720There is, in fact, two different possibilities, advantage and disadvantages.
00:16:36.780For Israel, this attack, if they knew about it, I am absolutely certain that they didn't know the extent of it or the level of efficiency it would take.
00:16:49.280However, it would be also a tremendous, on the advantage side, a tremendous advantage for Israel to use this and Hezbollah's participation in northern Israel or southern Lebanon
00:17:02.100to have a pretext of sorts, to strike at a mastermind, which unquestionably leaves no doubt as to its identity, Iran.
00:17:13.020Iran, for the past 20 years, has been enriching large volumes of unperved uranium stocks for one purpose and one purpose only,
00:17:23.500to develop a nuclear arsenal with which they have sworn under all the gods of mythology they would use to, quote-unquote, eradicate the state of Israel.
00:17:35.020Already, they have ballistic weapons that have a radius that can reach the French Provence, the region of Provence, Rome, Greece and part of the Balkans.
00:17:46.820They only need to add nuclear warheads if they want to make a major strike.
00:17:52.200So this serves the purpose of both Israel, in a way, although they suffered an unspeakable price, and also Hamas.
00:18:05.100For their purpose, principally, is to inspire all the communities, Shiites, Sunnites, Wallabites, all Muslim communities, against a common enemy, Israel.
00:18:15.280So, as you said very rightfully, it appears to me before, there are no right, good or bad guys.
00:18:23.440It's a war that is thousands of years old, and which has been forewarned as well.
00:18:30.080This shouldn't be a surprise for my own circles.
00:18:34.240So, we have the possibility of world war looming in front of us, because, of course, Israel is going to be backed by the United States.
00:18:45.360Already, the U.S. sent over an aircraft carrier.
00:18:48.120And Turkish President Erdogan just got on television, basically warning that America is sending that, and that's no means of keeping peace.
00:19:00.980You don't send aircraft carriers for keeping peace.
00:19:38.160Well, the Americans or American officials have been threatening Iran as well.
00:19:42.580And I think that the Americans know quite well that they've already bitten off more than they can chew in Ukraine, in East Asia with China.
00:19:53.440The United States and its allies are on the decline.
00:19:56.600They're not the powers that they were 30, 40 years ago.
00:20:01.580The Israeli regime is in no position to threaten Iran because the Israeli regime cannot even destroy the Palestinian people.
00:20:09.460But the United States, if it does something foolish, then it will be expelled from the region.
00:21:00.540And this colonel said recently that the American forces, conventional forces, that is, are only a shadow of what they were when he, as an officer in the U.S. Army, were during the Gulf War.
00:21:15.280So, it appears there is a degeneration, not just of the American conventional forces, but NATOs.
00:21:21.620And this war in between, that is rather, that is taking place in Ukraine today, has not done anything to help the situation.
00:21:30.100Both the Americans and the Europeans, in other words, all of the NATO members, including Canada, have sent to Ukraine hundreds of thousands of tons of ammunition of all sorts to be able to stop the Russian advances in Ukraine.
00:21:49.800There was also, in a French show, that was about a week ago or so, a little longer than that, a French general who explained that if today, hypothetically speaking, if there were to be, on European territories, conventional war of the sorts that we are witnessing in Ukraine, France, which is predominantly the most powerful European nation, militarily speaking, in Europe, would last 11 days before the run out of ammunitions.
00:22:19.800To come back to the situation with the Middle East, I do not see how well can the Americans, indeed, be in a position to deliver the kind of equipment that they've sent to Ukraine, to Israel, although they've already delivered a massive amount of ammunitions to the great sorrow of the Ukrainians, who were expecting their shipment.
00:22:43.580If Iran is here, if Iran is struck, there is a very good chance, first of all, it will be unanimous within the Muslim community.
00:22:52.140I grew up in a country which is, I would not say invaded, it wouldn't be politically correct with it, but which has a tremendous population of Muslims, of so-called French Muslims.
00:23:03.100And so, if such a situation were to take place, and the Israelis have been itching to eradicate all the nuclear plants that are hidden underground in Iran, the same way they did in Syria in 1980,
00:23:18.380that would be a perfect pretext, and this would unquestionably rally every single Muslim nation and organizations together to counter-attack one way or the other.
00:23:33.740And like World War I, where the game of political and geopolitical alliances played a crucial role in starting World War I, the same thing will happen yet again in these areas.
00:23:48.200I'll conclude simply by bringing to your attention Marie-Julie Jeuny and Reverend Father Michel Rodrigues, who both of them have brought forth this possibility.
00:24:29.720The English in England was mentioned as being, there would be tension between England, Palestine, and Iran, and Persia, rather.
00:24:40.420At the time when England was mentioned, what was meant in the French language were the Anglo-Saxons.
00:24:45.940That means also the Canadians, the Americans, and so on and so forth.
00:24:49.200So, what's more, what gives this tremendous credibility, and what is ever so concerning, is that Marie-Julie Jeuny, who not only was supported openly, but his holiness Pope Leo XIII, and later, but his holiness Pope Pius XII, also mentioned such extraordinary events, such as the rise of the Islamic consortium, alliance of sort, that would unite with far eastern Europeans, the Russians.
00:25:16.240And to give yet more credibility, this would take place when Europe, and particularly France, would be overtaken by a massive immigration from the Middle East and Muslim nations in Africa, when civil unrest in France would start to take place, when there would be major ecclesiastical reforms within the Roman Catholic and Apostolic Church,
00:25:41.100that would turn later, that would turn later, the Catholic Church, to become, quote-unquote, unrecognizable.
00:25:47.360In accord with Fr. Michel, and I'll conclude with this simply, Fr. Michel, in the middle of this war that is taking place in Ukraine, when all the logic would lead to believe that if there is a Third World War, it would come from there,
00:26:01.860remain firm in asserting that the Third World War would start principally from Iran and from North Korea, although the conflict in Eastern Europe will be a catalyst to something considerably bigger and unstoppable.
00:26:18.980Likewise, Fr. Michel, since the beginning of this year, has announced publicly, and the last time he did was in a video conference call, which I believe you were invited in,
00:26:33.640where he mentioned in September that October will be the first chapter of the announced tribulations.
00:26:40.080That is truly unbelievable that that call was a private call to which I was invited.
00:26:49.960Stunning to see things play out as they have.
00:26:55.440It's just one of the things that hasn't been mentioned yet is the involvement of China.
00:27:01.320Jennifer Zhang, who is an independent journalist, Chinese journalist,
00:27:05.960I actually saw her through Stephen Mosher, who writes for LifeSite, who is a great expert on China.
00:27:14.020He pointed to General Brzezang's work once, and I checked her out.
00:27:18.120And here's what she has to say with regard to China's involvement in all of this.
00:27:21.840According to the Chinese-language YouTube channel Lu De Media, Xi Jinping promised unlimited, unrestricted, and full-range support to Hamas
00:27:34.040when the Palestinian delegation visited China on June 14 this year.
00:27:39.320As a matter of fact, Xi Jinping's office is in direct contact with both Hamas and Iran's top-authority, Communist Office.
00:27:49.100It's really unbelievable to see the machinations that could very easily now lead to a Third World War.
00:28:02.160And already, just the devastation we talked about, you know, over 1,200 Israelis killed by Hamas,
00:32:54.760But we, the patriarchs, heads of churches in Jerusalem, have time and time again appealed
00:32:59.640for the importance of respecting historic and legal status quo of the holy shrines.
00:33:06.520In these trying times, we come together to raise our voices in unity, echoing the divine message of peace and love for all humanity.
00:33:12.180As custodians of the Christian faith, deeply rooted in the Holy Land, we stand in solidarity with the people of this region who are enduring the devastating consequences of continued strife.
00:33:23.580Our faith, which is founded on the teachings of Jesus Christ, compels us to advocate for the secession of all violent military activities that bring harm to both Palestinian and Israeli civilians.
00:33:36.620We unequivocally condemn any acts that target civilians, regardless of their nationality, ethnicity, or faith.
00:33:43.740Such actions go against the fundamental principles of humanity and the teachings of Christ who implored us to love your neighbor as yourself.
00:33:50.960So those Catholic officials are being condemned because they are calling for peace, restraint, and everything else.
00:34:01.960Very, very difficult situations, but nonetheless, they go forward.
00:34:07.320Xavier, now I want to get to the part that I think a lot of people are waiting for.
00:34:10.200At times like this, when the whole world seems in uproar, I think a lot of people look to heaven for help, but also for clarity.
00:34:22.340What do the prophecies tell us about these times?
00:34:26.400And what, in your vast reading of the prophetic writings and apparitions of Our Lady, what is a course for us to steer in this time of tribulation?
00:34:37.140As far as prophecies are concerned, which we've been working and we've been studying, all of us, and we've been hearing and reading for so many years,
00:34:47.800we are no longer living the times of admonitions.
00:35:07.320How are we supposed to live our lives accordingly?
00:35:09.820The message from heaven, through Marie-Julie Jeannie, through the children of La Salette, Fatima, the reverend father Michel Rodrigue, and others, is this.
00:36:08.200If Iran is eliminated, this will no longer be tolerable for Russia.
00:36:12.480And today, principally because of the war that is taking place in the Ukraine theater, this is no longer, and it hasn't been for a while, a war or a dispute, territorial dispute, between Ukraine and simply Russia.
00:36:28.760This is a proxy war that has led two alliances, one through a frontal clash with another, NATO, and an alliance that has been established clearly through Iran, Russia, as of late, North Korea, and yes, China, as the statement of this spokeswoman confirms.
00:36:48.740If there is a violent clash, a violent attack upon Iran, this cannot be left unanswered, and it is a trap, which was meant from the moment, from the eve of the attack on Israel by Hamas.
00:37:03.760It was a trap meant to lead Israel to an attack ever so violently.
00:37:08.960I do not believe for one moment that Hamas was consumed by the devil to decapitate babies or to rape women.
00:37:18.920These barbaric actions were meant, for one thing, to inspire hatred and to inspire and lead Israel to walk through straight to a trap.
00:37:31.480That of committing the error of committing similar atrocities and lead all the nations of Islam to gather together, and again, playing with the game of alliance.
00:37:41.800Iran is already openly supporting, through military assistance, Russia.
00:37:46.740North Korea is doing exactly the same thing with Russia.
00:37:50.720The operation of BRICS is no coincidence.
00:37:53.260This organization now is trying to overbalance the United States petrodollar on the base of a new currency or new currencies, plural, that would be based on the value of gold, no longer on goods and services like the U.S. petrodollar or dollar.
00:38:10.400So the war has already started in, shall we say, a more civil fashion.
00:38:14.820Now, this war, in an elegant fashion, in a silk sock, as Napoleon Bonaparte used to call Taleran, has changed the face.
00:38:25.000It's turned into a gradual, more violent, a great animosity that is inspired by hatred, profound hatred, and a feeling, a desire of utter revenge against the atrocities the Hamas has committed.
00:38:42.620The Hamas, the Muslims there, do not care, certainly do not care of the Palestinian population, nor of their own lives.
00:38:50.160The only thing they want to do is hurt Israel, lose their lives against paradise, and lead and form an alliance between all the Muslim countries against Israel and their allies, the infidels.
00:39:02.640And that is what I pray with all my heart, that Israel will not fall into that trap and will remain civil in a way which Hamas will never be capable of being.
00:39:13.660If they do, perhaps catastrophe can be avoided.
00:39:17.680And as for prophecies, the prophecies state that these regional conflicts will extend between now and the end of this year.
00:39:26.160And next year, things will turn for the worst.
00:39:30.060And what the heaven is requiring in asking the faithful to do is, first and foremost, to keep a cold head, to pray with all your heart, to go to confession.
00:39:38.940If possible, at the end of every month, on first, well, no, beg your pardon, the first Saturdays of every month, to go to receive Holy Communion.
00:39:47.360By believing with all your heart that this is not a symbol or a commemoration of the Last Supper, but truly the body and blood, so and the divinity of our Lord Jesus Christ,
00:39:55.700to read and live Holy Scriptures, the Catechism, particularly that which was encouraged by His Holiness John Paul II,
00:40:06.020Those are the means of salvation and the means to change history.
00:40:10.580So that is what prophecy is today indicating.
00:40:14.040If this continues in this path, there will be a major international cataclysm.
00:40:21.280So we must pray for these are the only weapons that heaven is asking us to use and to avoid hatred or feelings of retaliation for those are not inspired by God.
00:40:31.840In fact, it's interesting, too, that the attack took place on October 7th, Our Lady of the Rosary, the victory of Lepanto.
00:40:43.960That's probably why they chose that date.
00:40:47.680In fact, I think they chose the date, same date, October 6th or so, 7th, 50 years ago as well, when Israel was attacked.
00:40:57.720Also, these retaliatory attacks from Islam happen usually on these dates.
00:41:06.120Everybody wonders why September 11th was September 11th, but it was September 11th also because of the battle where Jan Sobieski beat them at the Battle of Vienna, beat the Turks.
00:41:21.940So Islam chooses these dates because they have a great historical memory.
00:41:28.780But I think in choosing a date like Our Lady of the Rosary, it's also going to be the date that is the undoing of all violence rather than the generation of violence.
00:41:44.780Because it's the weapon, as Padre Pia told us, and we must always, always pledge to Sarah Rosary.
00:41:53.700In the end, Our Lady told us, her Immaculate Heart would triumph.
00:42:17.440And please pray for, please pray all of you for Israel, for the Palestinian people.
00:42:28.920And especially on October 17th, let's unite ourselves with the patriarchs of Jerusalem and their call for fasting, prayer, and abstinence, for peace, both in Israel and around the world.
