Can’t believe that the devil put all his energy into 2016.
It’s like he had an assignment due jan 1, 2017 And forgot until now
the more you know: many christians in italy actually believe this. I noticed it on facebook where on news posts would occasionally pop up someone saying “just a little bit more, we just have to bear it for a little more” and I was like ??? but then I did some research and found out that 2016 is believed to be the last year of satan’s 100 years of free reign on the earth (the thing was caused by one of the bets that god and satan tends to do occasionally, and that pope Leo XIII saw in a vision in 1884). one of the sources spreading the theory is HERE, but of course it’s all in italian. some points are:
- During a vision in 1820, it was revealed to Blessed
Anna Katharina Emmerick
that Satan would have been freed from the chains about eighty years before the year 2000. This period of freedom for the fallen angel would last a century. -
This is confirmed by a message from Madonna of Medjugorje given to the seers in April 24, 1982 - Further confirmation comes from a vision seen by Pope Leo XIII described as follows:
On the morning of October 13, 1884–
I can translate the rest, if someone is curious to know the details. but yeah xD *nods and leaves*
My mom is like, high-key into Catholic visionaries and such, so I can confirm this is a real theory.
