saiah 29:5-6 But your many enemies will become like fine dust, the ruthless hordes like blown chaff. Suddenly, in an instant, 6 the LORD Almighty will come with thunder and earthquake and great noise, with windstorm and tempest and flames of a devouring fire.

Malachi 3:1 “See, I will send my messenger, who will prepare the way before me. Then suddenly the Lord you are seeking will come to his temple; the messenger of the covenant, whom you desire, will come,” says the LORD Almighty.

Matthew 24:43-44But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what time of night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into. So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.

Luke 12:39-40 But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what hour the thief was coming, he would not have let his house be broken into. You also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him."

.

Revelation 3:3 Remember, therefore, what you have received and heard; obey it, and repent. But if you do not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know at what time I will come to you.

Revelation 16:15 “Behold, I come like a thief! Blessed is he who stays awake and keeps his clothes with him, so that he may not go naked and be shamefully exposed.”

Dude/dudette, I warn again against private interpretation of scripture. I’ve sat through many homilies on these passages. Guess what? Not one of them was on the TDoD. Most of them do talk about having our souls ready because “we know not the hour” and for some of us that might mean in the next few minutes.

Who exactly do you think the “thief” is and why are you so obsessed with it? And exactly what Church teaching gives you this identity? Have you heard of symbolism?🤷

We aren’t talking about the “last days”. We’re talking about the TDoD. These aren’t even alleged by the “prophecy” to be the same thing, are they? There are the TDoD and then there is the Second Coming of Christ. The Church teaches that the latter will happen. I do not scoff at that nor the Bible passage that talks about it. The Church hasn’t, so far, taught that there will be TDoD. In fact, it’s the protestants that actually preach of the “Rapture” that sounds remarkable similar to the TDoD.

No, the Three Days of Darkness etc.ect. is about Second Coming of Christ, do you think when Jesus comes back, he will go on talk shows ?

I get what you are saying now (The day of doom) and the (Second Coming of Christ) are the same thing, how can you make them separate events ?

:rotfl: I’m not sure where you’re getting the day of doom from . TDoD is the Three Days of Darkness if that’s where you’re getting it from . I got tired of typing it out. I’m not making anything seperate events. There are only one of these things taught by the Church and that’s that there will be a Second Coming.

The “prophecy” of the TDoD is not supposed to be the Second Coming. It’s supposed to be a completely separate event. 2 Peter 3 talks about the Second Coming so it can’t be talking about the TDoD unless that was the same thing which even the perpetuators of the TDoD do not suggest. You seem to think that the Three Days of Darkness (spelled out so we don’t get confused) and the Second Coming are the same things written about in 2 Peter 3. Is this correct?

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat!!! You think this is the aftermath of the Second Coming!!! Where is that in Church teaching?
V. The Aftemath
After the three days of chastisement are over, there will be no ungodly persons left, the godless will be annihilated. Seventy-five percent of humanity will be destroyed, more men than women. Everyone left on earth will believe in God with all their hearts. The devastation will be astonishingly great, but the earth will be purified. The spiritual fervor of the early Christians will return, but there will be so few men left on earth. When all seems lost, then in a twinkling all will be saved, the sun will shine again and it will be as springtime, all fair and beautiful. The Holy Angels will descend from Heaven and spread the spirit of peace over the earth, and the just will be able to start life anew.
Some nations will disappear entirely, and the face of the earth will be changed. There will be no more big business, huge factories and assembly lines which will sap men’s souls and moralities. People will return to the land.
Our Holy Church will rise again, and religious communities will flower. A feeling of immeasurable gratitude will possess the hearts of those who survive this terrible ordeal and, upon the return of light, all should kneel down immediately and give thanks to the Holy Trinity for their protection, and Bless God. Then will follow the era of peace as promised by the Blessed Virgin at Fatima

This is straight from the original TDoD website link given in the beginning of this thread.

I should have Just ask you what TDoD meant.😃

what some of us are saying(i think) is that some web-site we posted here are about the second coming of Jesus.
 
I think this seemingly endless thread has established some things very clearly.

“The Three Days of Darkness” is not found in Church teaching.

Some aspects of the allegations in this “prophecy” have been shown to be at variance with Church teaching.

Catholics would, therefore, wisely invest their time in studying something else other than the Three Days of Darkness.

Most of the websites posted here all have the exact same thing. Most also contain the “Aftermath” statement which is not in keeping with the Second Coming.

Neither verses in Peter or Thessolonians speak of demons being loosed an wiping out everyone who’s outside.

I’ve asked you before what you believed “thief” to be. It would seem (you didn’t answe so I’ll have to guess) that you believe this to be demons. None of these verses say that the “theif” is demon. In fact, they specifically say “the Day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night” and then they say to go onto be vigillant. How many homilies have you sat through on these verses you’ve listed? I’m betting not one of them was in connection to the TDoD. They were (or at least shoud have been) on how be must have our souls prepared to die at any moment for we know not the hour and it we don’t want it to come when we’re unprepared like a thief in the night.

Nobody is scoffing at the Second Coming. I, after reading this whole thread again, am really scoffing at the TDoD now. If the Second Coming is going to come as a thief in the night, it can’t be the TDoD (and, as I’ve said, it doesn’t seem that the even most of those sites are claiming it to be this) because the TDoD comes with a big neon sign that says “Thief coming! Thief coming!” Besides that, there is no proof that Padre Pio ever made the quotes used. People who like Bayside promote this one. Most of the others who promote this one are dubious sources too. You won’t find this prophecy promoted on CA or ETWN. Most prophies (at least all of the ones I can think of) aren’t specific but symbolic in nature. Hmmm…what else have I forgotten? Ah,yes, many of the people promoting this appear to be using private interpretation of Bible verses to support their view. As Catholics, we are not supposed to do this.
 
When Jesus returns it won’t be because the world has finally gotten it right. 🙂

Now you’re just being silly. Nobody here said anything about talk shows. Why is it that you feel you must know how he will come again? We must only know that he will and we must be ready at all times, not just when we see warnings for we may not be on earth for the Second Coming. A bus could hit you in a few minutes.

Here’s a good article from CA on the Rapture (TDoD is very similar if you ask me). The whole article is a good read but the end is most pertinent to this conversaiton.
catholic.com/library/Rapture.asp

What’s the Catholic Position?
As far as the millennium goes, we tend to agree with Augustine and, derivatively, with the amillennialists. The Catholic position has thus historically been “amillennial” (as has been the majority Christian position in general, including that of the Protestant Reformers), though Catholics do not typically use this term. The Church has rejected the premillennial position, sometimes called “millenarianism” (see the Catechism of the Catholic Church 676). In the 1940s the Holy Office judged that premillennialism “cannot safely be taught,” though the Church has not dogmatically defined this issue.

With respect to the rapture, Catholics certainly believe that the event of our gathering together to be with Christ will take place, though they do not generally use the word “rapture” to refer to this event (somewhat ironically, since the term “rapture” is derived from the text of the Latin Vulgate of 1 Thess. 4:17—“we will be caught up,” [Latin: rapiemur]).

Spinning Wheels?
**Many spend much time looking for signs in the heavens and in the headlines. This is especially true of premillennialists, who anxiously await the tribulation because it will inaugurate the rapture and millennium.

A more balanced perspective is given by Peter, who writes, “But do not ignore this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. The Lord is not slow about his promise as some count slowness, but is forbearing toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance. . . . Since all these things are thus to be dissolved, what sort of persons ought you to be in lives of holiness and godliness, waiting for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be kindled and dissolved, and the elements will melt with fire! But according to his promise we wait for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells. Therefore, beloved, since you wait for these, be zealous to be found by him without spot or blemish, and at peace” (2 Pet. 3:8–14**).

For goodness sake. Did you even bother reading this one before you posted? This can’t possibly be the TDoD because the “sign” is supposed to come after the darkness and after the tribulation. Not to mention the fact that there is no mention of demons. This does not follow suit with the TDoD “prophecy”.

I’m not denying the Second Coming. And again and again, Catholics don’t privately interpret the scripture. Where is the Church teaching that says that this verse has anything to do with the TDoD?

I think that it is just Hard for you, and others to accept in your mind, that the end of the World is closer than you think.

29"Immediately after the distress of those days
( " 'the sun will be darkened,
and the moon will not give its light; ) =TDoD: READ Matthew 24 its all there!
 
i haven’t read through all these posts; there are too many. but has anyone presented the idea that these “three days of darkness” might be due to some sort of nuclear holocaust?

…that’s the first thought that came to mind.
