The Patriarchate is asking all members in Iraq to prepare for long-term violence and war. Several elders of the House of the Assembly saw an apparition of the Blessed Mother on 30 December, where she gave the initial warning saying: “War is coming to Iraq. Do not waste time. Samarra will burn and people will run back and forth. They will be filled with vengeance and war will continue for two years and several days. Expect the first fire in February of 2006.”
The Patriarchate is encouraging members in the area to stock up on necessary supplies and stay as safe as possible. All religious services should be conducted at the discretion of church elders during this time. Our prayers are with you.
