Catholic prophecy differs considerably from Protestant Prophecy. However, there are current protestant prophets who agree significantly with current Catholic prophecy at this time.Moreover, the bulk of what Catholic prophecy has to say about this time was written by Catholic saints, mystics and prophets hundreds of years ago, whom agree symphonically as to a sequence of events for this time.

Within Catholic prophecy(Eschatology: The study of the end times) we are entering the edge or beginning of the end times. The "end times" being a long period of time punctuated by two eras. This beginning period is known as the "little chastistement" where man suffers punishment primarily as a result of his sin(our heinous sins) and lack of faith in God. The lack of faith in God causes us to be no longer blessed nor protected by God. Earth and nature groans and a certain portion of what is in the Book of Revelation will be fulfilled soon. Namely the 7 seals and it will be worldwide.

In Catholic Eschatology(Catholic Prophecy) "little chastistement" is followed by the "big chastisement" some time later(not our lifetimes) which could properly be called the "Apocolypse".

Like a spiral, the book of Revelation sweeps through every generation, every century, being fulfilled on one level or another, in one region or another, until it will finally be fulfilled on a global level. Hence, Pope Benedict said recently in an interview:

The Book of Revelation is a mysterious text and has many dimensions… the striking aspect of Revelation is precisely that it is just when one thinks the end is truly now upon us that the whole things starts again from the beginning. —POPE BENEDICT XVI, Light of the World, The Pope, the Church, and the Signs of the Time-An Interview with Peter Seewald, P. 182

If you are interested this book covers what I am talking about very well: "Trial, Tribulation & Triumph: Before, During, and After Antichrist" by Desmond A. Birch

just when one thinks the end is truly now upon us that the whole things starts again from the beginning.

That's what bugs me. Can we please just get it over with once and for all?

Fears that NYC may turn into a jungle without the thin blue line of the NYPD on guard are over wrought. NYC is already a jungle. Maybe this NYC mayor's office + anti-police activists/thug alliance vs. the NYPD is a good thing. Maybe the NYC liberal scum will start getting the message that elections have consequences. Mayor Bill de Blasio is a gut wrenching disaster and this dumb cluck keeps on scewing the pooch and digging the hole deeper. He's a man with a plan and he's thrown the NYPD under the bus.
