Brazil recently installed a 177 foot statue that is supposed to look like the 'Lady' that appeared in Fatima, Portugal in 1917. Back then 3 shepherd children saw an apparition that has been interpreted by many Roman Catholic religious leaders to be a vision of Jesus’ mother, Mary.
But is it?
The Lady never claimed to be Jesus’ mother and the description of the apparel worn by the vision did not resemble any apparel worn that would have been worn by the mother of Jesus. In fact, the apparel described by the children was so sexually provocative that the oldest child, her mother, and at least one Roman Catholic priest thought the apparition was from the devil.
The description of what the 3 children said the apparition looked like was not released and made widely known until 1992. It may be because by then, standards for female dress had widely became immodest.
If the clothes worn by the vision seen in Fatima were not that of first century women, who could the vision have possibly represented? Well, the goddess Diana is described as wearing the type of clothing worn by the vision. The goddess Diana is equated with the Greek goddess Artemis and is associated with fertility and the moon. Diana is mentioned as a false goddess in the Bible in Acts 19. The corner stone for the deception of Fatima were being laid as early as the time of Paul’s ministry.
Why is the vision of Fatima important? It is part of the foundation of deception and lying wonders warned about in the Bible. Could a demonic apparition get people to support the final Antichrist as one Eastern Orthodox writer suggested? Could an apparition of one called 'a virgin' with a short skirt have been prophesied by Isaiah and Nahum? Could Fatima be part of the foundation of lying wonders that will lead to the deception of the whole world (except for the elect that are called by God) as the Apostle Paul wrote about in 2 Thessalonians 2?
Watch this video and listen as Dr. Thiel shines the light of Biblical prophecy on the vision of three children in Fatima, Portugal and reveals the apparition for what it is – a deceptive, lying wonder. The time is at hand.

00:00Greetings, friends. This is Steve Dupuis for the Bible News Prophecy Program with Dr. Bob Thiel,
00:09bringing you news and analysis of world events in light of Bible prophecy. Dr. Thiel, you have
00:15often said that massive deception is coming to the world. Could apparitions be a part of that?
00:21Yes. And based on prophecies that are in the Bible and some that are not in the Bible,
00:26one or more people tend to think that Jesus' mother Mary will publicly be involved. And the
00:34world's getting set up for this. Now, it's announced now that the world's tallest, quote,
00:40Our Lady of Fatima monument was inaugurated in Brazil this month. It's supposed to be about 177 foot tall.
00:50And over there, the bishop said, Our hearts overflow with joy and faith because this magnificent
00:57image of Our Lady of Fatima stands in the presence of the pilgrim image coming directly from Fatima in
01:05Portugal as a sign of our spiritual communion with that Marian shrine. Mary called the little
01:14shepherds, Lucia, Francisco, and Jacinta to conversion, to praying the rosary, to penance.
01:22Okay. Well, according to these three shepherd children, a so-called lady appeared to them
01:28once a month for six months in a row in Fatima, Portugal. But that thing never claimed it was Mary,
01:34and indeed it was not.
01:37Does the Fatima statue look like what the shepherd children saw?
01:42Not at all. Here's what the Paris priest of Fatima wrote in 1917, according to what the children
01:52said the apparition looked like. The clothing was a white mantle, which fell from the head to below the
01:58skirt, which was golden from the waist to below the strings. The skirt was all white and gold and fell
02:04only to the knees. The coat was white, no shoes, but white socks with no gold. About the neck,
02:10there was a gold chain with a pointed medallion. Now that skirt information came as a shock to me,
02:16as I was unaware of it prior to late 2010. Later, I learned that the pagan goddess Diana
02:23was often historically featured, looking remarkably similar to what the children claimed to have seen.
02:29Now, back in 1917 in Portugal, not even ladies of the night wore such short skirts.
02:35Now, one reason that this Fatima skirt report is not well known is this report was not released until
02:43about 1992. Now, it's been speculated they didn't release it until then, because by this time,
02:48it was acceptable for females to not have that portion of their body covered.
02:54Back in 1917, the Catholic priest and investigator, Canon Manuel Nunes Cromaggio, he interviewed the
03:02three children. Here's some of what he wrote. Quote,
03:06Jacinta confirms Our Lady's dress fell only to the knees. Our Lady obviously could not have appeared
03:13other than dressed with the utmost decency and modesty. This constitutes a serious problem,
03:18opposing the very validity of the apparition, giving rise in the spirit of the dread that this whole
03:25affair is a mystification prepared by the Prince of Darkness. Well, it was. But he decided because
03:33people liked this thing, or they felt better or whatever, that this was okay. But, you know,
03:39that's not proper. Now, to accept the Lady who appeared at Fatima could be Mary as an argument
03:46against the biblical fact that's written in 1 Timothy 2.9. Women are to wear suitable clothes
03:53and be dressed quietly and modestly. There's no way Mary would have come with a skirt only to the knee
03:58in 1917. And that's what she looked like according to all three that saw her. And Joaquin Fernandes,
04:10who I've communicated with over there in Portugal, said,
04:13this description of this being finally being revealed in 1992, as far as his was concerned,
04:18is the real secret of Fatima. Now, the Bible warns of a virgin who uses enchantments, who's also
04:25called the Lady of the Kingdoms. So I'm going to read this from the New Jerusalem Bible, Roman Catholic
04:29translation. Isaiah 47, starting verse 1.
04:34Wow.
04:55Well, this skirted Lady of the Kingdoms is clearly something Mary of the Bible would not want to be.
05:16It's amazing that the Bible actually prophesies the deception of Fatima in Isaiah 47.
05:23Do we have more from the Bible?
05:26Yeah, I'm going to skip down to verse 7 of Isaiah 47. It says,
05:33And you said, I'll be a lady forever.
05:34Verse 8.
05:37You who dwell securely, who say in your heart, I am, and there's none beside me.
05:42I shall not sit as a widow, nor shall I know the loss of children.
05:46But these two things will come upon you in a moment in one day, the loss of children in widowhood,
05:52because they'll come upon you because of the multitude of your sorceries and the abundance of your
05:56enchantments.
05:59And, by the way, the Roman Catholic translation is this, verse 7 is,
06:04You thought I'll be a queen forever.
06:07You say you'll never be widowed.
06:10Now, there's also a prophecy in the book of Nahum.
06:13Nahum 3, verse 5, New Jerusalem Bible.
06:16Look, I'm against you, declares Yahweh Sabbath.
06:20I'll lift your skirt as high as your face and show your nakedness to the nations.
06:24Wow.
06:24Now, let's go into the New Testament.
06:27Revelation, chapter 18, verse 3, New Jerusalem Bible.
06:34All nations have drunk deep of the wine of her prostitution,
06:37and all the kings of the earth have prostituted themselves with her.
06:42Now, chapter 17, verse 1, Revelation.
06:45Come, I'm going to show the condemnation of the great harlot who sits on many waters.
06:49Revelation 18, 7.
06:50As much as she glorified herself, lived in delicacies, so much torment and sorrow give you her,
06:57because she says in her heart, I sit a queen.
07:01I am no widow.
07:02In sorrow I shall not see.
07:04Therefore, her plague shall come upon her in one day, death and mourning and famine,
07:08and she will be burnt with the fire, because God is strong who judges her.
07:12So understand, what's going to happen to this queen lady, as well as Babylon, is warned about in Revelation.
07:21Just the same things we've read about back in the Old Testament.
07:24Yet various Roman Catholics have claimed that Mary is the queen of heaven and the lady of the kingdoms.
07:29So is this prophesied deception coming not only from Satan, but also from humans that claim to represent God?
07:38Yeah, for example, there's a Roman Catholic, Monsignor Charles Pope, who said,
07:42yes, the church is a bride, not a widow.
07:45So you've got Roman Catholics saying they're not going to be the widow, but the Bible says something else.
07:49You know, the Bible warns about doing any things like making cakes to honor the queen of heaven in the book of Jeremiah
07:57and condemns one called the lady of the kingdoms.
08:00Now, a decade ago, my wife Joyce and I visited Fatima, Portugal.
08:05And I'm going to show you the image.
08:08This is what they show as what supposedly came in Fatima, Portugal.
08:14It was a woman with a long skirt and a veil on top.
08:18And that's basically what the statue in Brazil now looks like.
08:22But here is, if you look at what actually the children said, this is what, how they described it.
08:30Something with this chain, a short skirt, et cetera.
08:35And that, I had somebody, a graphic artist, I just gave him the descriptions from the Catholic priest and said,
08:42what showed up?
08:44And that's what he came up with.
08:46Something that's certainly culturally inappropriate.
08:48You see the thigh and bear the knee.
08:52And that's very similar to what was warned about in the book of Nahum, as well as Isaiah 47.
08:59So, in the continuing Church of God, we obviously do not believe that Mary, Jesus' mother, appeared in Fatima in 1917.
09:11Well, if you don't believe it was Mary that appeared in Portugal, why even bother to mention it?
09:16Well, some events claimed to have been predicted in 1917 and appeared to have taken place.
09:22This has given the Fatima message's credibility, even amongst people who are not part of the Roman Catholic faith.
09:29Second, the appearances have been accepted as legitimate, worthy of belief by the Vatican.
09:35And there is at least one to two billion people with at least minimal ties to the Church of Rome.
09:40Third reason is some of these Fatima messages are claiming to be for the future.
09:46And some of the repercussions will likely impact and shock the world.
09:51This, mainly because of warnings in the Bible by the women in Isaiah 47, seems to have a lot in common with the apparition that supposedly appeared a century ago.
10:02Fourth is that Muhammad, the founder of Islam, claimed that there were four perfect women.
10:08And one of the four perfect women supposedly was his daughter Fatima, which is where the town got its name from, by the way.
10:15And many Muslims believe that it was Fatima's daughter that appeared in 1917 in Portugal.
10:23And the fifth reason is Roman Catholics want to use Mary as part of their interfaith and ecumenical agenda, including the Muslims.
10:31By the way, the name Fatima is not only really popular among the Muslims, many Roman Catholics use it.
10:38It turns out, by the way, the gal who was named Miss Universe yesterday was a Mexican woman named Fatima.
10:45Anyway, I believe that the popularity of the Fatima apparition stories, the use of the name Fatima, building structures for Fatima,
10:56are going to help support the coming deception that's prophesied come to the earth not too many years from now.
11:03One of the reasons you just previously mentioned concerning concern about the Fatima image dealt with future fulfillment and persecution.
11:12Tell us more about that.
11:13The Bible warns about signs and lying wonders which will deceive those who don't have the love of the truth, the 2nd Thessalonians.
11:21A lot of the apparitions, by the way, only showed themselves to a couple of different people.
11:26In the future, the restrainer will be taken away and more people are going to see it.
11:31Now, the old Radio Church of God warned that there could be something to this.
11:35Raymond McNair warned about this before.
11:37But even some in the Greek Orthodox Church have warned about it.
11:43They've said that mother goddesses are around the world.
11:47Roman Catholics have claimed that various mother goddesses were the equivalent of Mary.
11:52And therefore, people should take a look at this.
11:53And they're concerned that, for example, one of these Marian things in Medjugorje said that all religions were basically the same and that they're equally pleasing to God.
12:07So he's worrying this is not a good thing.
12:09And he's totally right.
12:10And he said that interdenominational Marian prayer groups are springing up around the world.
12:17Many Protestants who reject the notions of supernatural virgin Mary are wondering about this, too.
12:25Then he says, to what Mary are Muslims and Protestants drawn?
12:29Well, that of a one world church.
12:31And he says this, of course, and concerned about the Messiah and the Mahdi and Islam.
12:39He says this will not be Christ, but the Antichrist.
12:45Both you and Mr. McNair, as well as some others, are warning about demonic visions like Fatima.
12:51What's the bottom line on these warnings and visions?
12:54Roman Catholic private prophecies, which, by the way, Roman Catholics are not obligated to believe,
12:59point to apparitions they think will be Mary, who will usher in one they call the Great Monarch,
13:04who sounds a lot like the King of the North Beach power that the Bible warns against.
13:09And he'll be in league with the Antichrist.
13:11Even some Roman Catholic writers have said, like Thigpen, Dr. Thigpen comes to mind.
13:17He said, people are looking for the Great Monarch, which the Bible doesn't talk about,
13:21but the Antichrist does, and people might get confused.
13:24And I agree.
13:24Now, the reality is that the pushing for Fatima, including these statues and various signs and lying wonders that are going to happen,
13:34will have revocations in the world, according to both Greco-Roman Catholic prophecy and biblical prophecies.
13:41The reality is no one should accept false claims about apparitions that many consider to be Jesus' mother, Mary.
13:50She's dead and in her graves.
13:52False claims about Mary are expected to be used as part of the ecumenical interfaith agendas that the Vatican and others are pushing.
14:02Don't fall for them.
14:06Thank you, Dr. Thiel.
