The Forty Years    123 

is sinful is their right or is a good thing. All manner of sexual sins have 

become accepted  by many Christians, including:  homosexuality, adultery, 

premarital sex, licentiousness in speech and behavior, contraception, and 

abortion. They do not even acknowledge that these things are  serious 

offenses against God. 

    Some Christians not only commit the sin of abortion, but encourage 

others to do so. They proclaim this serious sin as if it were a God given 

right. They are outraged at any attempts to outlaw abortion. They encourage 

others to obtain abortions.  

    Some Christians are offended by the teaching of the Catholic Church and 

Holy Scripture. They call evil good and good evil. They believe and follow 

any teacher who tells them what they want to hear. And they reject any 

teacher who tries to point out their sins. 

    Even some persons who are in the priesthood and the religious life, and 

some theologians and teachers of religion, argue against the teaching of the 

Bible and the Church. These false prophets defend serious sin as if it were 

good. They seek the approval of their listeners, but do not seek God's 

approval. 

    Many Christians no longer attend church services. Many Christians pray 

little, and depend on money and friends and themselves, instead of 

depending on God. Many Christians put most of the effort of their lives into 

pleasing themselves. They don't seek God, nor do they seek to know what is 

right and what is wrong. Greed and selfishness, lies and deception, cruelty 

and apathy abound among God's people. 

    Are there any sins which are unheard of among Christians? I could list 

many more sins committed against God by those who think themselves to 

be faithful Christians, but the list would fill an entire book of its own. 

    People sin on one day and by the next day, God has not punished them. 

A few more days pass and still there is no punishment from God. So they 

begin to think that God will never punish them, that He doesn't see or 

doesn't care or even that He doesn't distinguish between sin and virtue. But 

God's punishment is about to begin. 

    Woe to the unrepentant and to those who love their sins. Woe to sinners 

everywhere. Woe to the whole earth. Woe to the Church on earth. Woe to 

Rome and to the Vatican. Woe to the leaders of the Church, the faithful and 

the unfaithful. Woe even to the faithful children of God. 

False Prophets Who Proclaim Peace 

    Early in the Forty Years, just before war breaks out, false prophets will 

arise (in 2009) who will proclaim a time of peace. They will say that the 

prophecies of those who predict war and sufferings refer to a time far in the
