Ahead and behind
A look at the darkness behind and the lights ahead : PART FIVE
Our investigation of 3I/ATLAS as a message sent from God has taken us on quite a ride.
3I/ATLAS has been stretching physical probability beyond belief, and now the object was doing completely unnatural things, forcing us to consider breaking with the common.
Catching a first glimpse of heavenly bodies forming a crown in the constellation Virgo, we landed on a theory that 3I/ATLAS had never been a comet.
In the absence of physical explanations, its extraordinary blue light led us to verses in Revelation full of angels, and the theory that 3I/ATLAS might be an angel entered the realm of possibility.
We further theorized that other players in our apocalyptic story could be angels as well.
But the last several days have not played out exactly as predicted... our angels didn't show up in the way we expected.
So we need to revisit our theory.
Let's begin with a look at the angels.
Angelic hosts

Lights appeared in telescope images a week ago, roughly as predicted by our chain of observations.
Our theoretical angels were still too dim to be seen with the human eye, but they were in the expected location, forming the shape of a crown in Virgo – lending credence to the theory that this message is authenticating doctrines of the Virgin Mary.
But the lights didn't brighten, and we don't see proof of them with our own eyes.
And that isn't the strangest thing.
The strange thing isn't what we don't see.
It's what we do see.
Some lights are not like the others

Six of the angels appear by themselves as faint unobstructed objects. But the other six appear behind existing stars.
That is odd.
Six appearing one way, and six appearing another?
It seems intentional.
And that raises our curiosity, just like noticing the star separation ratios in Virgo being off by exactly 1.0%.
So why might God be doing this?
Shining light in the shadows
We've already seen these angels performing as actors. Maybe God is using them to convey something meaningful.
So what if instead of studying the scene forensically, we try viewing it as a performance?
Looking at the picture more theatrically, we see some angels shining on their own, while others are hiding in the shadows behind stars.
It almost seems like a movie.
(The Chosen –Season 1, Episode 8)
In this scene from The Chosen, Jesus encounters a Samaritan woman at a well. The woman is shunned for the sins of her past, forced to go alone to the well in the heat of the day. She is down on her life and skeptical about God.
She resists the Messiah, and tries to walk away.
Until Jesus gives her a sign.
He conveys painful events of her life, things only she could know. The woman realizes there is only one person who could perform such a sign, and comes to believe Jesus is truly the Messiah.
She is the first in her social circle to believe. And as a result of this encounter, breaks free from her worldly burdens and runs to tell everyone.
Who were the Samaritans?
The Samaritans were a remaining group of descendants of the Northern Kingdom of Israel, after it was conquered by Assyria in 722 BC.
Friction and animosity over temple worship and intermarriage developed with orthodox Jews over the centuries that followed.
Jews and Samaritans had almost no dealings with one another by the first century.
This sounds vaguely familiar.
You may have noticed a similarity to one of Saint Faustina's Divine Mercy diary entries.
I am offering people a vessel with which they are to keep coming for graces to the fountain of mercy. That vessel is this image with the signature:
"Jesus, I trust in You."
Diary 327
So our hidden angelic actors have led us to:
- Jesus meeting an outcast woman using a jar to collect water by going to a well
- and Jesus offering sinners the image of Divine Mercy as a vessel with which to keep coming for graces to the fountain of mercy
We've got a clear parallel between the woman at the well and Jesus offering the image of Divine Mercy.
Jesus then tells the woman If you knew who I was, you would be asking me for a drink of water.
And when she resists him what does he do?
He gives her an unmistakeable sign.
So if God is...
- using angels to point us to Jesus using a sign to move the heart of the Samaritan woman using a jar to get water at a well...
- and we have Jesus offering the image of Divine Mercy as a vessel with which to come for graces at a fountain...
...might God be thinking of using angels to give us a sign of Divine Mercy in the sky, that we might quit resisting and believe?
If we investigate Faustina's diary, we find a clue that makes it look like he is.
Divine Mercy connection
The clue is found in diary entry 83.
Here is what Jesus told Faustina almost one hundred years ago...
Write this: before I come as the Just Judge,
I am coming first as the King of Mercy.
Before the day of justice arrives, there will be given to people a sign in the heavens of this sort:
All light in the heavens will be extinguished, and there will be great darkness over the whole earth.
Then the sign of the cross will be seen in the sky, and from the openings where the hands and the feet of the Savior were nailed will come forth great lights which will light up the earth for a period of time.
This will take place shortly before the last day.
Diary 83
Surprise, surprise. We've got another sign in the heavens.
Very interesting.
We now have Jesus revealing two signs in the heavens...
- the first sign in the heavens revealed to Saint John in Revelation 12,
- and now a second sign in the heavens revealed to Saint Faustina in diary entry 83.
In both cases, he says these signs will come near the end of the world.
Could Jesus be speaking of the same sign?
Crossing a constellation
If the sign in the heavens mentioned to Faustina is synonymous with the great sign in the heavens given to John in Revelation 12, we now know what it will look like.
Then the sign of the cross
will be seen in the sky...
Diary 83
Have we seen anything that looks like a cross? Yes we have.
The body of the mortal twin – the right twin – in the constellation Gemini looks very much like a cross.
And what does Jesus say about this sign of the cross?
...and from the openings where
the hands and the feet of the Savior were nailed
will come forth great lights which will
light up the earth for a period of time.
Diary 83
Now we can see where God might be going. Let's roll this all together.
We've got...
- Jesus foretelling the sign of the cross appearing in the sky...
- with great lights coming forth from openings where the hands and feet were nailed...
- in conjunction with stars forming a cross in the constellation Gemini...
- and six angels that have already appeared as lights behind stars.
Here's your sign...

This leads to our next prediction.
PREDICTION TEN
On Monday April 20, 2026 at 11:16 p.m. EDT, six angels will position themselves behind stars in the mortal twin of Gemini, denoting the wounds of Christ on the cross.
These angels will become great lights, flashing with the same numeric pattern they did on the Virgin Mary, but now directly behind these existing stars, causing them to pulse with brightness from the light of the angels.
The angels will remain until Pentecost Sunday, 49 days after Easter, reminiscent of the 49 year journey of 3I/ATLAS after sending the Wow! Signal until its arrival in Virgo. The angels will disappear at 11:16 p.m. EDT on May 24, 2026.
So six angels move to Gemini, and the star of the Christian story just made His appearance on the cross in the crowning moment of Christianity.
Quite a remarkable picture.
And it leaves six other angels in need of something to do.
Crowning the Lion King
Now that we've found a good home for one set of angels in Faustina's diary, we might assume there is another home for the remaining six.
Let's look at what else Jesus told Faustina in Diary entry 83.
...before I come as the Just Judge,
I am coming first as the King of Mercy.
Before the day of justice arrives, there will be given to people a sign in the heavens...
Diary 83
King of Mercy. That sounds familiar.
We've had a Lion King in our heavenly scene from the beginning – its the constellation Leo.
Where will these six angels go?
Here again we benefit from the odd placement of angels in our telescope image.
- Six angels were located behind stars – and we predicted they would go behind the stars forming a the cross in Gemini
- Six angels were on their own, not behind stars – they could go where ever desired.
What if they formed a crown on the lion's head, crowning the King of Mercy? Five angels make a nice crown, leaving one angel to go...
Jesus said I am coming first as the King of Mercy. Our lion could use some life. Let's say the sixth angel gives light to the King's eye.

Now we have our next prediction.
PREDICTION ELEVEN
On Monday April 20, 2026 at 11:16 p.m. EDT six angels will position themselves as a crown and eye in the constellation Leo, symbolizing Jesus as the Lion of Judah and King of Mercy.
The angels will flash with the same numeric pattern they did on the Virgin Mary.
Then on Pentecost Sunday, the 49th day after Easter – reminiscent of the 49 year journey of the angel 3I/ATLAS – the angels will disappear at 11:16 p.m. EDT on May 24, 2026.
And that leaves 3I/ATLAS and Michael the Archangel looking for new positions.
Two angels flying solo

When we left Michael the Archangel, he was poised between Draco's head and the slithering Dragon's body. It makes sense that he might be moving into position for battle.
And 3I/ATLAS? He's our message sent from God. So he it seems he would move to the star Pollux, the head of the immortal twin in Gemini.
Which brings us to our last prediction.
PREDICTION TWELVE
On Monday April 20, 2026 at 11:16 p.m. EDT Michael the Archangel move to the head of the constellation Draco, engaging the Devil in battle.
3I/ATLAS will become visible near the star Pollux, the head of the immortal twin in Gemini.
Michael the Archangel and 3I/ATLAS will remain in these positions until Pentecost Sunday, 49 days after Easter, reminiscent of the 49 year journey of 3I/ATLAS after sending the Wow! Signal. They will both disappear at 11:16 p.m. EDT on May 24, 2026.
The times they are a changin'
Our story has taken some unexpected turns, but the ending remains the same.
Instead of putting one great sign in the sky, God seems to be portraying the entire story of Christianity in the heavens...
- starting with the birth of it's King to a virgin...
- now highlighting his death on a cross.
If our latest predictions are right, there's not much of the story left to tell. Days are running short.
It not the end of the story, though.
Not if you choose the God who is Love.
Then the good old days... they're ahead and behind.
Good to keep that in mind.
Good Old Days (The Revivalists)
This is PART FIVE in a series on the great sign of Revelation.
Check back as we continue to investigate 3I/ATLAS and see where the theory continues to take us.
