Insights of Fatima Part 3: The Third Secret of Fatima

Pre-Article Disclaimer for Newer Readers: If you are reading this blog for the first time or are not totally familiar with my work, I am a 100% Christian writer who analyzes things from a Christian point of view. I sometimes research into what the spiritual forces of evil are up to in hopes of gleaning information to help us Christians figure out what is going on or to figure out what Satan has planned. You can read more about why I dare consider these unbiblical sources at the following link Now on to the article...


In the first two installments of this series of posts I wrote about the source of Mary apparitions and the most famous miracle of Fatima: the Miracle of the Sun. In this part I go over the Third Secret of Fatima.


Fatima is most famous for the Three Secrets of Fatima. The three secrets of Fatima were allegedly given to the three Portuguese children by the Virgin Mary. The first two secrets of Fatima were made public in 1941; leaving the world to speculate about the Third Secret of Fatima for nearly 60 years. In the meantime, the Catholic Church possessed the Third Secret of Fatima, which they received from the lone surviving person that received the secrets in 1957.


On June 26, 2000, the Vatican Church released the text of what they claimed was the Third Secret of Fatima to the public. The following is that text:


After the two parts which I have already explained, at the left of Our Lady and a little above, we saw an Angel with a flaming sword in his left hand; flashing, it gave out flames that looked as though they would set the world on fire; but they died out in contact with the splendour that Our Lady radiated towards him from her right hand: pointing to the earth with his right hand, the Angel cried out in a loud voice: 'Penance, Penance, Penance!'. And we saw in an immense light that is God: ‘something similar to how people appear in a mirror when they pass in front of it' a Bishop dressed in White 'we had the impression that it was the Holy Father'. Other Bishops, Priests, men and women Religious going up a steep mountain, at the top of which there was a big Cross of rough-hewn trunks as of a cork-tree with the bark; before reaching there the Holy Father passed through a big city half in ruins and half trembling with halting step, afflicted with pain and sorrow, he prayed for the souls of the corpses he met on his way; having reached the top of the mountain, on his knees at the foot of the big Cross he was killed by a group of soldiers who fired bullets and arrows at him, and in the same way there died one after another the other Bishops, Priests, men and women Religious, and various lay people of different ranks and positions. Beneath the two arms of the Cross there were two Angels each with a crystal aspersorium in his hand, in which they gathered up the blood of the Martyrs and with it sprinkled the souls that were making their way to God.


The text above seems to be about the death of a future Pope while Rome is ruined. Many Christians probably could see an event like this happening because they believe Rome is Babylon the Great City, which will get destroyed during the end times. However, I do not see any scenario where the Pope gets assassinated because the Plan, according to New Age author Alice Bailey (who wrote under the direction of an Ascended Master named Djwhal Khul-a type of spiritual being mentioned in Ephesians 6:12 as the "spiritual wickedness in high places") and Benjamin Creme (the official spokesmen of Maitreya, the leader of the Ascended Masters), is to utilize the position of the papacy to guide Catholics (and non-Catholics) to accept the New Age Religion.


However, not everyone believes that the Catholic Church released the real Third Secret of Fatima. I usually try to refrain from referencing Wikipedia whenever I can because Wikipedia is not always an accurate source of information. It’s a website where anyone can edit information about any topic and spin the presentation of information about a topic towards an agenda they have. However, I will provide a link to a section about Wikipedia about the controversy surrounding the Third Secret of Fatima because it’s fairly extensive about what things skeptics of the Catholic Church’s presentation of the Third Secret of Fatima point out.



I will never be able to prove whether or not the Catholic Church released the Third Secret of Fatima. Nor, will I try to convince you to believe or not believe that the true Third Secret of Fatima was given by the Catholic Church. However, here are some things to keep in mind in case you do not believe that the Catholic Church released the real Third Secret of Fatima.


Benjamin Creme claimed in October 2000 that the Third Secret of Fatima related to the coming of the Christ.[1] I am unable to uncover the exact quote of what Creme said so I can’t prove to you that Creme was referring to Maitreya (the leader of the Ascended Masters) specifically. However, given that Creme refers to Maitreya as the “Christ” it’s highly likely that Creme proclaimed that the Third Secret of Fatima concerned the coming of Maitreya.


In addition, Creme’s organization interviewed a man named Giorgio Bongiovanni (GB for short) for their June 1998 magazine.[2] GB claimed to have been visited by a spiritual being who called herself “Miriam” in April 1989. Although the spiritual being called herself Miriam, GB believed that Miriam was the Virgin Mary.


After several appearances where he experienced stigmata and saw various signs from the Miriam, GB visited Fatima in September 1989. While visiting Fatima, GB claims that Miriam appeared to tell him the same secret that the three Portuguese children heard in 1917. GB said the Third Secret of Fatima concerned the following things:


  • A crisis of leadership at the highest levels of the Catholic Church
  • A coming period of darkness for mankind
  • Catastrophes and World War 3
  • The Second Coming of Jesus
  • The discovery that earthlings are not alone in the universe


GB claimed he was told by Miriam that man could be saved from the coming period of darkness in a variety of ways. None of these ways involve believing in Jesus Christ, which is the only way to be saved. In fact, Miriam proclaimed that one way mankind could be saved is to believe in universal values without regard to a specific religion or to a specific belief system. In other words, mankind could be saved by becoming followers of the coming one-world religion.


GB spoke a little bit about how earthlings would discover that they are not alone in the universe. He said the following:


  • Mankind will be in contact with people from other planets
  • Mankind will learn that those from other planets are far more spiritually evolved.
  • These visitors from other planets are beings made of light.
  • These visitors from other planets will accompany Jesus during his reappearance on Earth to help show man that they aren’t alone.


GB also spoke a bit about these beings made of light who allegedly will accompany Jesus when he reappears on Earth.


  • They not only exist in outer space, but also in different dimensions on Earth.
  • They have far more advanced science than man possesses.
  • They advise contactees about what people should do to improve life on Earth, including what people should do with nuclear weapons.
  • They create signs to make people more aware of their presence. These beings of light want people to know that they exist and want people to have something to believe in.


GB said that Miriam was a being of light-very bright and luminous. Interestingly, GB’s description of Miriam parallels the description of how one of the three children (Lucia) described the spiritual being they saw at Fatima. The spiritual being was described as being "brighter than the sun, shedding rays of light clearer and stronger than a crystal ball filled with the most sparkling water and pierced by the burning rays of the sun”.[3]


Given how easily these people believed they were witnessing the real Virgin Mary, it is clear that they did not read the part of the Bible where Paul warned that satanic representatives like fallen angels have the ability to transform or masquerade themselves as benevolent ministers of light.


  • 2Co 11:13 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.
  • 2Co 11:14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
  • 2Co 11:15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works


Conclusions on Fatima

IF much of what Creme and GB claim concerning the Third Secret of Fatima is true, and this is a big IF, then Fatima may have been a partial attempt to get people to continue believing in the presence of the Virgin Mary in the world (read Part 1 concerning whether it is biblical for the real Virgin Mary to make appearances on Earth) and an attempt to condition people for the coming of Maitreya, the counterfeit Jesus (Ascended Master Jesus Sananda Immanuel), and other spiritual beings with him.


If the Catholic Church did not release the true or complete Third Secret of Fatima, which is also a big IF, they may have thwarted some of the original plans the forces of evil had when they devised Fatima. This could explain why the Ascended Master who steals Mary's identity (by portraying itself as her) went to prepare GB to spread information about the Third Secret of Fatima (GB is not a minor person. GB’s website has over 1.4 Million page views).


Even if this is all not true, it is reasonable to conclude from what was found in the first two posts that Fatima was an attempt by the forces of evil to inspire spirituality in people. GB even mentioned that that there are invisible beings are purposely trying to make of aware of their existence and that there is something spiritual happening in the world.


This three part study leaves some important questions that I plan on addressing in the coming days. Here are a couple of the questions that I plan on addressing:


  • Why do these spiritual beings want to stir so much spirituality in people?
  • Are the Ascended Masters targeting mainly Catholics or are they equal opportunists in other faiths?
