On 30 December 2005, the Blessed Mother appeared to several members of the House of the Assembly warning that Iraq would be plunged into a war. As always, our Blessed Mother’s words came true. In part of the prophecy, she said, “Expect the first fire in February of 2006.” Early in the morning on 22 February, the al-Askari Mosque was bombed in Samarra, Iraq by terrorists.
Again, the Patriarchate highly encourages brethren to seek shelter and to make sure you have a safe method of obtaining necessary supplies for your survival.
