The Fatima Visions

himself is transformed into angel of light

According to the Catholic Church, the Virgin Mary
appeared at Fatima, Portugal numerous times in 1917 to
three little shepherds named Lucia, Francisco and Jacinta.
Since the Roman Catholic Church has endorsed and fully
accepted these visions as being from God and they have in
turn affected hundreds of millions of people over the years
by their messages these are very important Marian
apparitions. The Bible commands Christians to test all
things, which includes visions:
Test everything. Hold on to the good. (1 Thess. 5:21)

How are we to test these visions to ascertain their source

and know how sound the wishes and directives of the
Mary of Catholicism are?
The Message of Fatima
The visions at Fatima consisting of three apparitions of
angels and at least six apparitions of Mary, would have us
focus our attention in upon Mary as our refuge, the way to
God, protector, etc. Moreover, according to these Catholic
visions, amends for sin are to be made to Mary. Please
carefully note the following statements which were
communicated by Mary (or Lucia about Mary) at Fatima.
[All quotes in this list are from the booklet entitled, Lucia
Speaks on The Message of Fatima printed by Ave Maria
Institute and carry the nihil obstat and imprimatur.]
Say the Rosary every day in order to obtain peace for the
world and the end of the war (p.24).
Jesus wishes to make use of you to make me known and
loved. He wants to establish in the world devotion to
my Immaculate Heart (p.26).
I (Mary) will never leave you. My Immaculate Heart
will be your refuge and the way that will lead you to
God (p.26).
In front of the palm of Our Lady’s right hand there was a
heart encircled with thorns which pierced it. We
understood that it was the Immaculate Heart of Mary,
outraged by the sins of Humanity, and that She wanted
reparation (pp.26,27).
What I do remember is that Our Lady said it was
necessary for those persons to say the Rosary in order
to obtain the graces during the year. And She
continued: “Sacrifice yourself for sinners, and say
often, especially when you make some sacrifice: ‘Oh
Jesus, this is for love of You, for the conversion of
sinners, and in reparation for the sins committed
against the Immaculate Heart of Mary.’” (p. 29).
You have seen hell where the souls of poor sinners go. In
order to save them, God wishes to establish in the
world devotion to my Immaculate Heart. If you do
what I tell you, many souls will be saved, there will be
peace (p.30).
And then with a sad expression She said: “Pray, pray
very much and make sacrifices for sinners, for many
souls go to hell because they have nobody to pray and
make sacrifices for them” (p.35).
I want to tell you that I wish a chapel to be erected here in
my honour, for I am the Lady of the Rosary. Continue to
say the Rosary every day (p.40).
The 1925 Message to Lucia
Then on December 10, 1925 Mary and the child Jesus
appeared, according to Lucia. The child Jesus said:
Have pity on the Heart of your Most Holy Mother. It is
covered with the thorns with which ungrateful men
pierce it at every moment, and there is no one to
remove them with an act of reparation (p. 46).
Then the personage presenting herself as Mary said to
Lucia:
My daughter, look at My Heart surrounded with the thorns
with which ungrateful men piece it at every moment by
their blasphemies and ingratitude. You at least, try to
console me, and say that I promise to assist at the hour
of death with the graces necessary for salvation all
those who, on the first Saturday of five consecutive
months, go to Confession and receive Holy
Communion, recite five decades of the Rosary and
keep me company for a quarter of an hour while
meditating on the mysteries of the Rosary, with the
intention of making reparation to me (pp.46,47).
Is This The Mary of the Bible?
1. The Rosary is exalted in these visions, but is anti-
scriptural in itself. Jesus taught:
But when you pray, go into your room, close the door
and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your
Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward
you. And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like
pagans, for they think they will be heard because of
their many words. Do not be like them, for your Father
knows what you need before you ask him. (Mat 6:6-8)
Nowhere in the Bible are we ever told to pray to Mary or
repetitiously, as the Fatima visions would have us do.
Furthermore the Rosary would have us wrongly think
Mary is our life. See our detailed article on the rosary.
The Bible declares Jesus is our Life:
I am the bread of life. (John 6:48)
Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. He
who believes in me will live, even though he dies” (John
11:25)
Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the
life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
(John 14:6)
When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also
will appear with him in glory. (Col 3:4)
The life appeared; we have seen it and testify to it, and
we proclaim to you the eternal life, which was with the
Father and has appeared to us. (1 John 1:2)
And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life,
and this life is in his Son. (1 John 5:11)
He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the
Son of God does not have life. (1 John 5:12)
Dear reader, is Jesus your life or is Mary? Your
answer will affect your eternal destiny.
2. Does Jesus wish to establish world devotion to Mary?
Please know that such was never the desire or will of the
Lord at any time as expressed in the Bible. Jesus
repeatedly pointed people to Himself, and rightly so
since he is the Savior, our Life, only Hope, all in all, etc.
He told people to come to him, follow him, obey him, trust
on him, believe on him and remain in him. The Lord
never pointed anyone to Mary and Himself. It was
never a Son/mother team in the Bible. Please remember
this and note the following teachings of Jesus Himself:
Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I
will give you rest. (Mat 11:28)
The next day Jesus decided to leave for Galilee. Finding
Philip, he said to him, "Follow me." (John 1:43)
You diligently study the Scriptures because you think that
by them you possess eternal life. These are the Scriptures
that testify about me, yet you refuse to come to me to
have life. (John 5:39,40)
Then Jesus declared, "I am the bread of life. He who
comes to me will never go hungry, and he who believes in
me will never be thirsty.” (John 6:35)
All that the Father gives me will come to me, and
whoever comes to me I will never drive away. (John 6:37)
On the last and greatest day of the Feast, Jesus stood and
said in a loud voice, "If anyone is thirsty, let him come to
me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture
has said, streams of living water will flow from within
him." (John 7:37,38)
When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, "I am the
light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk
in darkness, but will have the light of life." (John 8:12)
I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved.
He will come in and go out, and find pasture. (John 10:9)
"I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep
know me” (John 10:14)
My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they
follow me. (John 10:27)
Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He
who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and
whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you
believe this?" (John 11:25 26)
"Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust
also in me” (John 14:1)
Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the
life. No one comes to the Father except through me”
(John 14:6)
"If you love me, you will obey what I command” (John
14:15)
Whoever has my commands and obeys them, he is the
one who loves me. He who loves me will be loved by my
Father, and I too will love him and show myself to him.
(John 14:21)
Jesus replied, "If anyone loves me, he will obey my
teaching. My Father will love him, and we will come to
him and make our home with him. He who does not love
me will not obey my teaching. These words you hear are
not my own; they belong to the Father who sent me” (John
14:23,24)
Remain in me, and I will remain in you. No branch can
bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can
you bear fruit unless you remain in me. (John 15:4)
"I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in
me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me
you can do nothing” (John 15:5)
If anyone does not remain in me, he is like a branch
that is thrown away and withers; such branches are
picked up, thrown into the fire and burned. If you
remain in me and my words remain in you, ask
whatever you wish, and it will be given you. (John 15:6,7)
in regard to sin, because men do not believe in me; (John
16:9)
"My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those
who will believe in me through their message, (John
17:20)
When they had finished eating, Jesus said to Simon Peter,
"Simon son of John, do you truly love me more than
these?" "Yes, Lord," he said, "you know that I love you."
Jesus said, "Feed my lambs." Again Jesus said, "Simon
son of John, do you truly love me?" He answered, "Yes,
Lord, you know that I love you." Jesus said, "Take care of
my sheep." The third time he said to him, "Simon son of
John, do you love me?" Peter was hurt because Jesus
asked him the third time, "Do you love me?" He said,
"Lord, you know all things; you know that I love you."
Jesus said, "Feed my sheep. (John 21:15-17)
We even see the Holy Spirit will bring glory to Jesus:
He will bring glory to me by taking from what is mine
and making it known to you. (John 16:14)
Our devotion, trust, faith, reliance, love, etc. is to be on
Jesus with no mention of Mary, based on Jesus’
teachings as well as his holy apostles. Moreover, Jesus is
the one the Holy Spirit will glorify.
3. The Mary of the Bible could never say I will never
leave you, as proclaimed in these visions. (Nor could she
be our refuge or the way that will lead you to God). Please
know it is only God who could promise the disciples that
he would never leave them, since God is everywhere
present:
Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified
because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you;
he will never leave you nor forsake you. (Deu 31:6)
The LORD himself goes before you and will be with you;
he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid;
do not be discouraged. (Deut. 31:8)
No one will be able to stand up against you all the days of
your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I
will never leave you nor forsake you. (Josh 1:5)
Also, our refuge is clearly God and Jesus—and not
Mary too:
My God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and
the horn of my salvation. He is my stronghold, my refuge
and my savior—from violent men you save me. (2 Sam.
22:3).
As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the LORD is
flawless. He is a shield for all who take refuge in him. (2
Sam 22:31)
Kiss the Son, lest he be angry and you be destroyed in
your way, for his wrath can flare up in a moment. Blessed
are all who take refuge in him. (Psa 2:12)
The LORD is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in
times of trouble. (Psa 9:9)
You evildoers frustrate the plans of the poor, but the
LORD is their refuge. (Psa 14:6)
The LORD is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my
God is my rock, in whom I take refuge. He is my shield
and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. (Psa 18:2)
Most importantly we must know, for salvation’s sake, that
Jesus is the way (or road) to the Father:
Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life.
No one comes to the Father except through me.” (John
14:6)
To say Mary is the way to God is to say we should trust
in her for salvation, which is not only disobedience but
spiritually deadly, according to the Bible.
4. To say Mary wants reparation for sins committed is to
say that we are to make amends, satisfaction and
restitution to her for sins, which is incredibly unscriptural.
When people sin they don’t sin against Mary since she is
not here among the living to be sinned against and neither
is she deity. People either sin against a living person here
among us now or against God, according to the Bible:
No one is greater in this house than I am. My master has
withheld nothing from me except you, because you are his
wife. How then could I do such a wicked thing and sin
against God?" (Gen 39:9)
Otherwise, they will teach you to follow all the detestable
things they do in worshiping their gods, and you will sin
against the LORD your God. (Deu 20:18)
As for me, far be it from me that I should sin against the
LORD by failing to pray for you. And I will teach you the
way that is good and right. (1 Sam 12:23)
Then he said, "Go out among the men and tell them, 'Each
of you bring me your cattle and sheep, and slaughter them
here and eat them. Do not sin against the LORD by
eating meat with blood still in it.'" So everyone brought his
ox that night and slaughtered it there. (1 Sam 14:34)
When they sin against you—for there is no one who does
not sin—and you become angry with them and give them
over to the enemy, who takes them captive to his own
land, far away or near; (1 Ki 8:46)
In every case that comes before you from your fellow
countrymen who live in the cities—whether bloodshed or
other concerns of the law, commands, decrees or
ordinances—you are to warn them not to sin against the
LORD; otherwise his wrath will come on you and your
brothers. Do this, and you will not sin. (2 Chr 19:10)
I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin
against you. (Psa 119:11)
For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your
heavenly Father will also forgive you. (Mat 6:14)
When you sin against your brothers in this way and
wound their weak conscience, you sin against Christ. (1
Cor 8:12)
5. Unlike what the Fatima visions declare, no one can
obtain grace by praying the rosary. If we could, then there
is now a means to obtain grace that never existed for the
first 1000 years in Christianity, since praying the Rosary
began in 1090 A.D.
6. To save souls from Hell God wants the true gospel to be
declared so forgiveness of sins can be found. Such never
comes by devotion to Mary’s Immaculate Heart. The true
gospel is summed up as repentance towards God and
faith in Christ Jesus (Acts 20:21). We prove our
repentance by our deeds (Acts 26:20) and must endure
to the end to be saved (Mt. 10:22). This is the message
that Jesus wanted his followers to spread throughout
the world. Please note that Mary is not included in the
message Jesus gave the disciples to spread.
Not The Mary of The Bible
7. The following is a clear example of a false gospel, but
nonetheless is part of the salvation message at Fatima. The
personage claiming to be Mary said:
I promise to assist at the hour of death with the graces
necessary for salvation all those who, on the first
Saturday of five consecutive months, go to Confession and
receive Holy Communion, recite five decades of the
Rosary and keep me company for a quarter of an hour
while meditating on the mysteries of the Rosary, with the
intention of making reparation to me (p. 47).
Dear reader, please know that Mary doesn’t have the
ability or influence to make such a promise to assist in
one’s salvation. Furthermore, even if she did, her
directives are not true. All this talk about going to
confession, receiving communion, reciting 5 decades of
the Rosary, etc. is all foreign to the Bible. This was never
the message of Jesus, Paul, Peter, John, James, etc. Did
God have his salvation message changed or revised for
us since Fatima? If He did, then there is now another
way to obtain salvation since the Fatima visions, which
is impossible. There has only been one true plan of
salvation alongside many counterfeits. The following is
most relevant about a false gospel:
.... Evidently some people are throwing you into confusion
and are trying to pervert the gospel of Christ. But even if
we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other
than the one we preached to you, let him be eternally
condemned! As we have already said, so now I say again:
If anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than what
you accepted, let him be eternally condemned! (Gal 1:7-
9)
All this evidence from comparing (and contrasting) the
message of Fatima to the Bible forces one to conclude the
personage representing Mary was not the Mary of the
Bible. The Mary of the Bible never had any role in one’s
salvation, as already proven. Never did any sinner go
to Mary to get to Jesus. Never is Mary shown to have
more mercy or compassion on sinners than Jesus did,
etc. The message of Fatima draws our attention and trust
from the Lord Jesus and places them upon a creature
(Mary). Even though sincere Catholic people may be
trying to reach out to God by observing the Fatima
message, we must come to God the way the Lord
taught to receive salvation results.
The Vision of Moses and Elijah
Peter, John and James had a vision of Moses and Elijah in
their glorious splendor:
About eight days after Jesus said this, he took Peter, John
and James with him and went up onto a mountain to pray.
As he was praying, the appearance of his face changed,
and his clothes became as bright as a flash of lightning.
Two men, Moses and Elijah, appeared in glorious
splendor, talking with Jesus. They spoke about his
departure, which he was about to bring to fulfillment
at Jerusalem. Peter and his companions were very sleepy,
but when they became fully awake, they saw his glory and
the two men standing with him. As the men were leaving
Jesus, Peter said to him, "Master, it is good for us to be
here. Let us put up three shelters—one for you, one for
Moses and one for Elijah." (He did not know what he
was saying.) While he was speaking, a cloud appeared
and enveloped them, and they were afraid as they entered
the cloud. A voice came from the cloud, saying, "This is
my Son, whom I have chosen; listen to him." When the
voice had spoken, they found that Jesus was alone. The
disciples kept this to themselves, and told no one at that
time what they had seen (Lk. 9:28-36).
Moses and Elijah spoke with Jesus about his departure,
which would be fulfilled at Jerusalem. (Jesus’ departure
refers to his physical death.) Please note that no
unscriptural statements were uttered by Moses or
Elijah. Nothing they declared would cause one to trust
in them for anything, including protection, salvation or
anything else. Furthermore, there was a form of
correction that needed to be issued as a result of this
vision. It was given to Peter who wrongly wanted to exalt
these two men to the same level as the Lord by building a
shelter for them as he wanted one also built for the Lord.
The voice from the cloud (God the Father) rebuked Peter
for even the suggestion that these men are on a par with
Jesus and declared that we are listen to Jesus.
We can learn from that vision and correction issued to
Peter. Again, please know that even though someone
would appear in glorious splendor, that in itself doesn’t
mean that the vision could not be misunderstood, as Peter
did. Most importantly, Moses and Elijah didn’t speak in
any unscriptural way. They merely spoke with the Lord
about his departure, which was 100% in accord with
Scripture.
Is Mary Blessed Because She Gave Birth To
Jesus?
Nearly two thousand years ago, a woman tried to
publically exalt Mary on the basis that she gave birth to
Jesus in the presence of the Lord Himself and his
disciples. This is how the eternal record states it:
As Jesus was saying these things, a woman in the crowd
called out, "Blessed is the mother who gave you birth and
nursed you." He replied, "Blessed rather are those who
hear the word of God and obey it." (Luke 11:27,28)
Did the Lord approve of her praise of Mary? Holy Writ
states that the Lord publicly rebuked that Mary-exalting
woman for that notion and set the record straight on who
is blessed with these words: Blessed rather are those who
hear the word of God and obey it. Please note that Jesus
wants all to know that any person hearing and obeying
God’s word is blessed more than Mary on the basis she
gave birth to Jesus. Dear reader do you believe what
Jesus taught here? Please read his eternal words again:
As Jesus was saying these things, a woman in the crowd
called out, "Blessed is the mother who gave you birth and
nursed you." He replied, "Blessed rather are those who
hear the word of God and obey it.” (Luke 11:27,28)
Satan Can Masquerade as an Angel of Light
Among the many ways the devil tries to deceive people is
through visions. According to the following we must be on
guard against such a subtle form of deception:
And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an
angel of light. (2 Cor 11:14)
That truth explains why the message of Fatima is so
foreign to the Bible. It also explains how such a vision
could endorse many Catholic practices which are
unscriptural in themselves. Please know that
Mormonism and Seventh Day Adventism also claim
visions from God, but they flatly contradict the visions
of Catholicism. Since God can’t be contradicting
Himself with all of these visions there has to be another
source of visions besides God. According to Scripture
that other source is the devil. Deception is the work of
the arch-deceiver, who is trying to mislead precious
souls trying to find God. Dear reader, to know God’s will
for you and how to find salvation, go to the New
Testament and trust its message above everything else you
were ever taught. It in turn will point you to Jesus and
Him alone for your salvation.
The Solar Miracle and Healings
If the devil is try to deceive sincere people through these
visions, then how should we view the solar miracle and
healings that have occurred there? On July 13th, Lucia
requested a miracle from Mary so that everyone will
believe that you have appeared to us. In response, Mary
answered:
Continue to come here every month. In October I will tell
you who I am and what I want, and will perform a miracle
so that all may believe (p. 29).
The miracle on October 13, 1917 is described by Lucia in
the following words:
... And opening Her hands, She made them reflect on the
sun. While She ascended, the reflection from Her person
was projected on the sun itself. That is the reason why I
cried aloud “Look at the sun” (p. 40).
Besides the solar miracle there have been reported
physical healings over the years at Fatima. Undoubtedly,
many would view this as surely being the handiwork of
God. But the truth is, if we go to Scripture, we learn there
are two sources of such miraculous/healing power—God
and the devil. Please see our important and detailed article
on this.
The Fatima Discrepancies
On May 13, 1917 when the Mary of Fatima started to
appear to the three little shepherd children, among other
things, she told them:
I came to ask you to come here [Cova da Iria] for six
successive months, on the 13th day at the same hour.
Later I will tell you what I want. And I will return here yet
a seventh time. (Lucia Speaks on The Message of Fatima
[Ave Maria Institute, Washington, New Jersey], p. 22.)
Wrong Time and Place!
The fourth apparition occurred on August 15, 1917 in a
place different from the Cova da Iria called Valinhos.
( Ibid., p. 33.) A different source shows a four day
discrepancy from this account:
On the afternoon of Sunday 19 August, Lucia, Francisco
and his broth John were pasturing the sheep in a rocky
field known as Valinhos, about a mile from Fatima,
when suddenly they noticed the beginning of the
extraordinary atmospheric phenomena that has preceded
the visions in the Cova da Iria. (Francis Johnson, Fatima:
The Great Sign [Tan Books and Publishers, Rockford,
Illinois], p. 45.)
Note: In both quotes it was not on the 13th of the month
and not in the place where Mary told the children to be
to see the apparition. Is it possible the all-knowing God
was taken by surprise and had to send Mary to a different
place on a different day then originally announced?
Penance For Salvation —Drinking Pond Water?
As a result of the Fatima message the three children were
influenced in the following way behavior-wise:
The three children undertook the most severe penance
for the salvation of sinners. They wore a rope tightly
round their waists; they gave their lunches to the poor, or
even to their sheep; they didn’t drink during the furnace-
like heat of August 1917—an almost unendurable penance
as anyone who has stayed in Fatima during that month will
appreciate. Later, Jacinta even wanted to drink water
from a pond frequented by cattle. (Fatima: The Great
Sign, p. 37.)
Again, from a Biblical point of view the above statements
are far from God’s truth, especially in the following ways:
(1) Jesus on Calvary’s cross was the all-sufficient and
final sacrifice for sinners. There is nothing Lucia, Jacinta
or any other, as sincere as he may be, improve upon that
one-time-for-all-sin sacrifice, (2) It is impossible that
Mary has been sinned against, as suggested, and that
reparation (satisfaction) needs to be made to her. (3) In
October, the Mary of Fatima revealed herself as the Lady
of the Rosary. (Ibid., p.40.) This again shows the spiritual
force behind these apparitions is not the same as what
gave us the Scriptures.
The Bad Fruit of Fatima and Other Visions
Sadly, Jacinta trusted in Mary for her salvation, at least in
part, because of the visions she saw:
During this period her [Jacinta] love of God and Our Lady
seems to have risen to ecstatic heights. She never tired
repeating: “.... Sweet Heart of Mary, be my salvation!”
(Fatima The Great Sign, pp. 82,83.)
Only God knows how many others have likewise been
misled through Marian visions over the years. As
astronomical as that number is, it is even larger when one
would include the ones deceived by the visions that Joseph
Smith and Ellen G. White claim to have had that has
adversely affected millions of Mormons and Seventh Day
Adventists throughout the years.
Fatima: a Compendium of the Catholic Faith
As the Bishop of Fatima expressed it in 1975: “Fatima as
a whole is a compendium of the Catholic Faith.”
(Fatima, The Great Sign, inside back cover)
To be more exact, the Fatima visions confirmed the
following doctrines, most of which are distinctively
Catholic and unscriptural:
The apparitions of Our Lady in the following year again
emphasise (sic) the priority of penance and prayer,
particularly the devout daily recitation of the gospel prayer
of the rosary “which contains all the mysteries of our
salvation,” as Pope Leo XIII pointed out. Also confirmed
in Our Lady’s appearances were the doctrine of the Holy
Trinity, the Sacrifice of the Mass, the authority of the
Pope, the existence of Heaven, Purgatory and Hell, of
saints and demons that Modernists try to eliminate, the
meaning and value of suffering, the evil of sin and the
serious obligation of every committed Christian to the
work of atonement, the necessity of interior conversion,
the indwelling of God in the souls of the just by grace, the
mystery of Christ’s redemption, the unique role of Mary
as our Mediatrix with Christ, the importance of
devotion to the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary, the
practice of the virtues and the spiritual and corporal works
of mercy and so on. Even the doctrine of original sin is
implied at Fatima, for the Immaculate Heart of Mary,
which Fatima underlines, clearly brings into focus the
Immaculate Conception which in turn points to the
doctrine of the Fall. (Fatima, The Great Sign, pp. 75,76.)
Another False Gospel
It is crystal clear from the evidence that the Mary of
Fatima is not the Mary of the Bible. There is only one
way to be saved and Mary is not even indirectly
connected in the smallest manner with our salvation,
according to the Bible. Mary has absolutely no role in
our salvation, that is, unless you accept Scripture-
contradicting-Marian-visions (and other Catholic
materials) that would state she does. But to do that is to
dangerously ignore the fact that the Scriptures (or sacred
writings) are able to give us the wisdom that leads to
salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus:
And that from childhood you have known the sacred
writings which are able to give you the wisdom that
leads to salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus
(2 Tim. 3:15).
Notice how the Scriptures will cause us to place our
faith in Jesus alone for salvation. Hence, not only don’t
we need to go elsewhere for salvation directions, we can
be assured all other sources (visions, papal decrees, etc.)
that would differ with what the Scriptures declare are not
from the same source that gave us the Bible.
The Acid Test For Visions
Again, the real test for Fatima is the message itself and
how it parallels or contradicts the message of the Bible.
It is not if there are miracles or healings, but the message
itself. When such is examined, Fatima is shown to be of
a different source than the one who gave us the Bible.
To be more exact, this different source is an enemy trying
to lead us away from absolute 100% trust and reliance on
Jesus, who is our life, for our salvation, as declared in the
Scriptures. Dear reader, please for your own soul’s sake
carefully reread this important article and verify all
Scripture references for yourself. Don’t just trust
another to do this for you. Souls are at stake over this
