Anyone who has more than a passing familiarity with the apparitions at Fatima knows that the predictions made there had an uncanny accuracy.
The Vatican congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, in its document The Message of Fatima, states, "Fatima is undoubtedly the most prophetic of modern apparitions."
At Fatima Mary predicted the Russian Revolution, the Second World War, and the spread of the errors of communism. There was also a link between the "third secret" of Fatima and the assassination attempt on John Paul II.
Another related but lesser known apparition occurred in Akita, Japan mostly during the 1970’s.
The local bishop approved the apparitions and in 1988, then Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger gave the Vatican’s opinion that the Akita phenomena and messages were reliable and worthy of belief. When asked, "What is the message of Our Lady of Akita?" Bishop Ito, the approving bishop, replied "It is the message of Fatima." Father Tatsuya Shimura, an expert on Akita, said: "The revelations of the Virgin of Akita are exactly those of Fatima" (The Meaning of Akita).
Now if Fatima and Akita are the same message as Bishop Ito in Akita claims, then we can put them together and we get: In the end the Immaculate Heart will Triumph (Fatima) but we have two paths to arrive at the Triumph – terrible chastisement or mass conversion (Akita). If we don’t convert, we will have first a chastisement. Then the Triumph of the Immaculate Heart will occur. If we do convert then we will have the Triumph of the Immaculate Heart sooner (The Meaning of Akita). Things will not stay as they are. Either way the world as we know it is coming to an end. (But, you don’t have to believe it!)
