Ahead and behind
A look at the darkness behind and the lights ahead, shining on our choices : PART FIVE
Our investigation of 3I/ATLAS as a message sent from God has taken us on quite a ride.
Catching a first glimpse of heavenly bodies beginning to form a crown in the constellation Virgo, we landed on a theory that 3I/ATLAS has never been a comet – but is instead an angel.
3I/ATLAS has been stretching physical probability beyond belief. It has been behaving unlike anything we'd ever seen, and now the object was doing completely unnatural things.
These last observations forced us to consider breaking with the common. Physics can not explain what we were seeing, so out of necessity the improbable theory of 3I/ATLAS being an angel became a possibility.
We theorized this angel is not alone. If 3I/ATLAS is an angel, then 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 anticipated.
So we need to revisit our theory.
Let's begin with a look at the angels.
Angelic hosts

As predicted by a chain of observations interwoven with scripture, lights first appeared in telescope images a week ago.
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 – supporting the theory that this message is authenticating Catholic doctrines of the Virgin Mary.
But the lights didn't brighten, and we don't see proof of them with our own eyes.
According to our theory, they should have become visible back on December 1, with 3I/ATLAS at the location of a crown in Virgo.
So if the angels were there, why didn't they brighten when predicted?
If our theory is correct, this is one of the most important messages God has ever sent. He should enable us to see it.
We're making an assumption here, however.
We're assuming our flashing angels in Virgo represent the entire message.
What if 3I/ATLAS' journey across our solar system does not end with the coronation of the Virgin Mary? What if this was just a prelude?
What if the greatest hits of Mary were just an opening act – pointing to the real star of the story?
What if this star was about to make an entrance?
The great sign of Revelation: Act II

A star is born
Divine Mercy is linked to the coming of the end, and our story is somehow linked to Divine Mercy. So we need to understand if we want to investigate further.
And if we want to understand Divine Mercy there is no better resource than the Secretary herself – the Apostle of Divine Mercy, Saint Maria Faustina Kowalska.
The humble sister's diary contains hundreds of entries – with 14 specific revelations and conversations with Jesus regarding Divine Mercy.
We listed several of these in our last post.
But the clue that a second act might be woven into our story is found in diary entry 83.
It not only answers our questions about what is behind us, but points to what we might expect ahead.
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
Another sign? In the heavens?
For those keeping track at home, that's now two signs in the heavens – the first coming from our connected readings in Revelation 12, and now this.
It appears we are seeing double again.
Let's see what we can make of it.
Shortly before the last day... there will be a sign in the heavens of this sort:
- All light in the heavens will be extinguished
- The sign of the cross will be seen in the sky, with great lights that will light up the earth
We have lights getting extinguished, and great darkness over the whole earth.
This sounds very similar to what just happened in our story.
Could the lights we expected have been extinguished?
Jesus then tells Faustina that the darkness will be followed by great lights which will light up the earth.
Maybe those flashing lights we predicted in Virgo, the lights we didn't see with our eyes, won't vanish completely after eight days. Might they come back on?
What if they came back brighter than ever?
Now might be a good time to take another look at those telescope images, because...
Some lights are not like the others

Six of the angels appeared as faint singular objects by themselves unobstructed. But the other six appeared to be superimposed in front of existing stars.
That is odd.
Six appearing one way, six appearing another.
And that raises our curiosity, just like noticing those star separation ratios in Virgo being off by exactly 1.0%.
It seems intentional. So why might God do this?
Perhaps it is a clue that these six angels will appear in front of stars in the future.
Jesus' message to Faustina speaks of a sign that will be seen in the sky in the future. Maybe we should look there.
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.
Diary 83
Have we seen anything that looks like a cross?
Cross of Divine Mercy

We see a cross in the right twin of the constellation Gemini. It is the body of the mortal twin.
And it is here that we see how this story is going to unfold.
Act 2 begins where Act 1 left off – in the joined hands of the divine and the mortal.
And the star of the Christian story, in the crowning climax of Christianity, makes His appearance on the cross.
PREDICTION TEN
If the sign in the heavens Jesus promised to Saint Faustina is a continuation of the great sign of Revelation 12, then upon finishing the first act by flashing as a crown in the constellation Virgo, six of the angels will move to the constellation Gemini.
On Monday April 20, 2026 at 11:16 p.m. EDT, these angels will position themselves in alignment with 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 sequence they did on the Virgin Mary, but now directly between us and 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.
You might wonder how this connects with Divine Mercy.
It is a heavenly sign pointing to the red and pale rays emanating from the image of Divine Mercy, as well as pointing to the refrain of the associated Divine Mercy Chaplet...
For the sake of His sorrowful passion, have mercy on us, and on the whole world.
- Four of the angels will shine from the nail holes, made by the spikes used to nail Jesus to the cross.
- One angel will shine from the crown of thorns, mockingly forced on his head.
- And the final angel will shine from the hole in his pierced flesh, where the spear was thrust into His side to ensure He was dead... and from which gushed forth the Water and Blood of Divine Mercy.
Those pale and red rays emanating from the heart of Jesus in the image of Divine Mercy represent the Water and Blood that gushed forth as a fountain of mercy for us.
Why is one of the rays pale? It represents the forgiveness of sins - in the water of Baptism and the sacrament of Confession.
Why is the other red? It represents the Body and Blood of Jesus, offered in atonement for our sins, and in the Eucharist at Mass.
So six of the twelve angels head off to Gemini to perform their role in the second act.
That leaves six angels in need of something to do.
Crowning the Lion King

Jesus told Faustina he would come as a King of Mercy before He comes as a judge. In the next sentence, he parallels this by saying a sign in the heavens would be given before the day of justice arrives.
We've had a Lion King in our heavenly scene all along.
What if instead of vanishing completely, our flashing angels of light just moved to a different location for the next act – moving from one great sign scene to the next?
This leads us to our next prediction.
PREDICTION ELEVEN
If the sign in the heavens Jesus promised to Saint Faustina is a continuation of the great sign of Revelation 12, then upon finishing the first act by flashing as a crown in the constellation Virgo, six of the angels will move to the constellation Leo.
On Monday April 20, 2026 at 11:16 p.m. EDT – on the same minute we received the Wow! Signal – the angels will turn on their lights. The angels will flash with the same numeric sequence they did on the Virgin Mary, this time forming an eye and a crown over Jesus, symbolized as the Lion of Judah.
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.
When the saints come marching in

Saint Maria Faustina Kowalska
It is interesting to note that we could not arrived at these predictions without the words of Jesus delivered through a saint.
In the contemporaneous entries of her diary, St. Faustina wrote the words given to her in personal encounters with Jesus.
Notice the two word instruction at the beginning of entry 83...
Write this: ...
Diary 83
Faustina did as she was instructed to the best of her ability. And without her obedience, we would not have the means to understand how this story is connected. We would have lost part of the message, and the understanding the comes from it.
Like everything else in this story, it seems intentional – like we are being told something here.
God seems to be saying Scripture is not the only resource we should look to for help.
The Church is filled with saints across the ages. That is not by accident.
Darkness
But what about the darkness mentioned in this diary entry?
All light in the heavens will be extinguished, and there will be great darkness over the whole earth.
Diary 83
This line occurs in the midst of the statements about light, and it's here we find an explanation for the delays.
God is saying darkness is allowed to dim the heavenly light and cast great darkness over the whole earth.
Why does God allow such darkness?
Because it is an inherent reality of the choice to love... If one is free to make the choice to love, there must also be the free choice not to love.
As with light, the absence of light must also exist.
Jesus is telling Faustina this is especially true of the dark times right before the end. And what does this spiritual form of darkness do?
It makes it harder for us to see the light.
The statement Jesus is making is an inherent part of this great sign.
The darkness of these times was symbolically shown in preventing the earlier lights from becoming visible.
Could He telling us to beware the spiritual forces at work right now, doing the same thing, making it harder for us to see the light?
It's happening all around us, seen in the dark forces of the world working against love.
And its happening inside us as well.
In that voice that strokes your pride, telling you to do what's best for you with no mind to the cost of another. Telling you right now not to believe this story about God, and His sign of the end of the world.
That is the reason Darkness is a part of the great sign.
And it's this last kind of darkness He is warning us about most. The sneaky deceptive kind. The kind of Darkness whose greatest victory is tricking you into believing the Light doesn't exist.
What lights? Do you really think lights are going to appear in the sky? Do you really think things work this way? I thought we covered this already.
Bringing light to the fight

Remember, we're not alone in this fight. Those blue angels to give us hope.
Speaking of which, you might wonder where Michael the Archangel will be in this second act. When we last thought we would see him, he was poised between Draco's head and the slithering Dragon's body.
Which brings us to our last prediction.
PREDICTION TWELVE
If God is sending us a sign of the coming of the end, in the scenes of Revelation 12 playing out in the heavens... on Monday April 20, 2026 at 11:16 p.m. EDT, a heavenly body representing Michael the Archangel will appear in the night sky, moving to the head of the constellation Draco, striking the Devil down in final defeat.
Michael the Archangel will remain here 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. He will disappear at 11:16 p.m. EDT on May 24, 2026.
The times they are a changin'
See the updated 3I/ATLAS predictions for Act 2.
So we will see.
There's enough here to make us sit up and take notice, just as you would expect from a great sign.
If our theory is correct, there is Light and there is Darkness.
If Jesus truly was speaking to Faustina, then great lights are coming after the darkness, to shine forth on all the earth.
And if they are coming in the way we predict, it seems intentionally designed to allow no intermediary between us and these lights.
No one to get between you and the view. No one to tell you how you should look at it. No one standing between you and God's light.
For a time.
The times they are a changin'. Time to place your bet.
It looks like God is giving us one last, great sign to help us make our choice. All you have to do is look up to see it.
And don't worry about the good old days.
If you choose the Light that is Love, they're ahead and behind.
