Traditionally it has been taught that the Antichrist will have a reign over the world of 7 years and that the first three and a half years he will reign in secret and then for the last three and a half years he will reign openly. I have in the past given speculations about this. 

On September 30th 2024 the Catholic visionary Luz de Maria Bonilla announced her third secret (the third of five) given to her originally on January 5th 2013. This year she had previously already revealed the first and second secrets and now this third one. If she is a genuine mystic then Heaven has revealed that the seven year reign of the Antichrist of our time has begun. October 2 2024 was the last day of the Jewish year of 5784 and in the evening began Rosh haShanah of 5785. Thus a seven year preparation from Rosh haShanah 2017 (20 September) until now has concluded.

Thus Jesus allegedly said to her on September 30 2024:

Beloved children of My Sacred Heart, you are My great treasure.
 
THE LIFE OF MY CHILDREN AND THEIR REDEMPTION I PAID FOR WITH MY BLOOD ON THE CROSS... (Cf. I Tim. 2:5-7; Eph. 1:7-8)

BUT IT IS THE DUTY OF EACH ONE OF YOU NOT TO GO AGAINST MY LAW AND TO MAKE YOURSELF WORTHY OF ETERNAL LIFE.
A very great darkness is advancing upon the earth; when everything is ready, the great darkness will fall upon all the Earth. This darkness will fall at the moment least expected; many of my children will not reach their homes because they will find themselves in the hubbub of the mundane.

FIDELITY TO MY WORD AND TO MY DESIGNS IS INDISPENSABLE SO THAT YOU WILL NOT BE CONFUSED.

My Law is one and you cannot vary it, whoever varies it is anathema (cf. Gal. 1: 6-9). Do not allow yourselves to be confused; the evil one wishes to divert My People’s course. 

MY CHILDREN, YOU MUST MAINTAIN YOURSELVES READY, NOW!
The salvation of the soul is imperative...
The examination of the conscience is indispensable....
The one who is not love, who does not possess Christian charity, is far from My Will.
You must not be a cause of pain for your brothers and sisters, but of blessing; be at all times bearers of My Word, of consolation, of charity, of forgiveness, of hope and of faith.

 
LITTLE CHILDREN, YOU MUST PREPARE YOURSELVES SPIRITUALLY AND MATERIALLY. PREPARE YOURSELVES NOW!

Water will run out quickly, the water sources will be contaminated so that you, My children, will not endure without drinking water, but each one of you knows where to find the water of Eternal Life, the source of water that does not end (cf. Jn. 7:37-39). You can investigate other ways of obtaining water from nature.

MY CHILDREN, THERE IS NO TIME FOR YOU TO CONTINUE WITHOUT PAYING ATTENTION TO MY CALLS. It is necessary for each one of you to reserve what you can in a safe place while you have time to do so. It is important to have everything prepared and taken care of, as the famine is going to be severe.

Children, this war is not going to stop, it is an atrocious war.  This war will severely touch faith, food and the economy.

TODAY I ASK MY DAUGHTER LUZ DE MARIA TO REVEAL THE THIRD SECRETGIVEN TO HER BY MY MOTHER:

 
THE ANTICHRIST  TAKES POWER OVER HUMANITY, WHICH IS GIVEN TO HIM BY THE ELITE IN TOTAL AND ABSOLUTE SECRECY, STARTING ON THE SECOND DAY OF OCTOBER 2024. FROM THEN ON, THE SUFFERING OF ALL MANKIND WILL INCREASE.

I call you to pray intensely that day the Holy Rosary, the Creed and the Holy Trisagion.

This Secret consists of two signs:

1) You will live anguish on Earth, confusion is total for those who remain lukewarm.
2) The Most Holy Sorrow has arrived: I am betrayed a second time by those closest to Me.

Beloved children, pray, prepare yourselves by confessing your sins, receive Me and keep the faith.

YOU KNOW THAT MY DAUGHTER LUZ DE MARIA IS NOT GIVEN DATES, BUT THIS ONE WILL REMAIN WRITTEN IN THE HISTORY OF HUMANITY AND CHRISTIANITY.

Pray My children, pray in season and out of season.

Pray My children, pray: My Instruments, protect yourselves.

Pray My children, pray, Europe suffers devastation by nature.

Continue by My Mother's Hand and in Her Womb be infants of the breast.

Those who have thought they knew everything will realize that they know nothing....
Humility  is the insignia of My children....
The proud must lower their brows...

Love and humility little children, help each other, grow spiritually.

DO NOT BE AFRAID, I AM WITH YOU, KEEP YOUR FAITH FIRM.

I bless you in a special way little children, I will not leave you.

Pray to My Mother, She holds you by Her Hand.

My Heavenly Hosts are already protecting you.

I love you with Eternal Love.

 

Your Jesus

Then Luz Maria comments: 

Our Lord has asked me to make known the Third Secret of the five that were revealed to me.

As you have read in this day's Message, Our Lord makes known to us what is unknown to most of humanity. This is not about the public appearance of the Antichrist before humanity, but in total privacy the elite hand over to him this October 2, 2024 the power that he will soon exercise over all humanity.

This is a very serious step, since we will enter into a more aggressive activity on the part of the allies of the Antichrist and the economic machinery that supports him to invade the human creature. This invasion is spiritual to steal souls and physical to take the human creature captive, annulling his free will to work and act.

This Third Secret consists of two signs that are intertwined with the secret. Anguish will be strong on Earth as a result of the signs of the earthly power of the Antichrist. Our Lord tells us that the Most Holy Sorrow has come, which is the sorrow of Our Lord for the betrayal of His own. We feel this pain of Our Lord and His call to pray the Holy Rosary, the Creed and the Holy Trisagion, not only this day, but every day, making reparation and offering.

Brothers and sisters, it is God, Lord of Heaven and Earth, who goes ahead of events and our suffering and asks us to remain firm in faith, determined, strong. And like Our Blessed Mother, let us pray and act in the Will of God. Prayer must be permanent, not just for one day.

O God, who looks upon us with Your Eyes of mercy,
Hear us, who cry out to You,
loving and adoring You above everything and above everyone.
May You be adored forever, O Lord.

Thus, the open reign of the Antichrist of our time which is the third one (the first being Hitler and the second Stalin) will begin in 2028 and last until Rosh haShanah in 2031 (September 17). 

We have seen in the last few days the increase of the war in Israel and the Middle East with the missiles raining down on Israel from Iran. Let us pray for Our Lady's peace plan and the triumph of her Immaculate Heart. Pope Francis who has just opened the third part of the three part Synod on Synodality at this time has called for a day of fasting and prayer on October 7  with the Rosary to ask Our Lady's intercession. October 7 is the feast day of Our Lady of the Rosary and the first anniversary of the October 7 attacks on Israel in 2023. So let us join with the Pope in praying for the world with Our Lady.

It also sounds like certain people in the Church are about to betray the Pope and the Church.
