Joe Coleman, a man who claims to be a “visionary”, has brought tens of thousands of people each month to a place called the Knock Shrine to see what pilgrims claim is the Virgin Mary. The Knock Shrine was already famous before this event for being the site of a previous Marian apparition in 1879. People who have visited the shrine with Coleman claim they’ve seen the sun dance around in the sky while others claim that they’ve seen a golden ball of light move around an old church where this shrine is located.[1]
- The details witnesses describe remind me of the “Miracle of the Sun” which took place at Fatima. If you have not read my post about the “Miracle of the Sun”, I theorized that the Miracle of the Sun may possibly have been generated by a UFO.
- Unfortunately, a few people who starred at the sun have lost their eyesight because they’ve starred at the sun too long.
As I wrote in my post about the source of Marian apparitions, the being that appears to people is never the real Virgin Mary, but an Ascended Master (a spiritual being spoken of in Ephesians 6:12 as the “spiritual wickedness in high places”) who poses as the Virgin Mary. The true nature of the spiritual being appearing at these apparitions can usually be detected in the messages the being gives to the people who witness these apparitions.
- I want to clarify that I am not a making statement about Mary herself. I am a making statement about a spiritual phenomenon in hopes that people are not deceived by spiritual beings who are stealing Mary's identity.
A few weeks ago Coleman shared a statement he claims was given by the Virgin Mary which confirms to me that he’s being visited by an Ascended Master. The message is a call to break down the barriers of faith across the globe:
“I pray and I ask for unification of the faith across the globe. I pray that this message has been listened to. That it has been given around the globe in different ways to all my faithful”.[2]
The call to unite the faith across the globe is a message that benefits the spiritual forces of evil if the message is followed because they are trying to fuse the world’s religions together into one-world religion.
In addition, a statement made by Coleman in October 2009 further indicates to me that this series of alleged apparitions is inspired by the spiritual forces of evil. In late October 2009 more than 10,000 people came to see the "Virgin Mary" appear. Most attendees were disappointed because they did not see the spiritual being appear. Coleman told the press that he urged people beforehand to open up their heart or they would be unable to see the Virgin Mary appear.[3]
- The call to open one’s heart is exactly what the spiritual forces of evil want people to do since people become prone to being influenced by them once they open up their heart. This can be seen by what Coleman said since he said that people who did not open their hearts would not be able to see the Ascended Master who poses as the Virgin Mary.
The leaders of the local Catholic Church were quick to warn people not to go to the shrine. However, thousands of people have ignored the warning and still go to the shrine each month.
Coleman claims that the Virgin Mary will return again on May 11, 2010 to deliver her most urgent message yet. He claims that the messages will concern the second coming of Jesus. I’ll keep a watch on this story to see if the Ascended Master who is stealing Mary's identity reveals anything about what the spiritual forces of evil are planning in the future.
