Three years before, in 1963, John F. Kennedy the sitting American President was assassinated. Three days later the assassination of his alleged killer was witnessed live on TV by millions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And their prediction about God was reinforced just one year later by the 1967 \u201cSix Day War\u201d between the countries of Israel and Egypt. This traditional all out war between these surrogate countries of the USSR (Egypt) and USA (Israel) shattered notions of the possibilities of a peaceful world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Collectively these actions of violence became high water marks of an epoch that shook the foundations of Western society to its core. In counter-point to all these actions of man, new reports about apparitions of the Virgin Mary and her messages to humanity surfaced once again.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:31px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=nMEWxRB-1dc\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"719\" height=\"674\" src=\"https:\/\/nikossteves.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Egypt-vdo-2.png\" alt=\"Photo from video about Cairo Egypt with link to YouTube\" class=\"wp-image-2162\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nikossteves.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Egypt-vdo-2.png 719w, https:\/\/nikossteves.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Egypt-vdo-2-300x281.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 61vw, (max-width: 1362px) 45vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:35px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Chapter 25 entitled \u201cApparition for All,\u201d a series of nightly appearances by the Virgin Mary took place high atop a Christian church in Egypt between the years 1968 through 1971. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During this four-year period well over one-quarter of a million people from many different religious and non-religious backgrounds witnessed her there. The president of the country spoke of these appearances, which were also witnessed by non-Christians<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Chapter 26 entitled \u201cKeepers of the Light\u201d a new Pope, John Paul II makes a landmark return to the country of his birth. This trip encourages the desires of the Polish people in their early efforts to retake control of their country from the repressive post-war Communist regime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also during the time period a secret memorandum by the USSR secret police is sent to teachers across the Soviet Union to warn that the Pope is their enemy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile in the USA, the new president is a man who makes no bones about his belief in God and to the horror of the established Washington, DC elite, he takes a decidedly different tack from the mainstream\u2019s established way of doing things. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These two world leaders efforts for change spawned dramatic changes for the Soviet Communists\u2019 hold on Eastern Europe as well as it\u2019s own internal politics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rewards for these leaders efforts were the same, each suffer assassination attempts on their lives. The second secret of the Fatima apparition comes true for Pope John Paul II. However, he believes it was the Virgin Mary who saved him from death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile, as both men recover from their wounds, in a remote part of the Eastern Bloc, dramatic eye witness accounts of a new appearance of the Virgin Mary occur to several teenagers as they are returning home after sneaking off to smoke cigarettes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> Three thousand people return to the place three days later and so begin the on-going accounts of apparitions of the Virgin Mary at Medjugorje.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:64px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">More links to the Egyptian Apparition:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/zeitun-eg.org\/zeitoun1.htm\"><em>Zeitun-eg.org<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/catholicexchange.com\/the-unlikely-marian-apparition-at-zeitoun-egypt\">Catholic Exchange.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:53px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Update for the Virgin Mary around the world today:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:44px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Some information on the Spiritual Rosary Events!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.parousiamedia.com\/free-spiritual-rosary-pilgrimage-starts-on-september-8-and-concludes-on-october-7\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nikossteves.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Week-2.png\" alt=\"email about week 2 of Spiritual Rosary Pilgrimage with a link to the Keynote about Pope John Paul II &amp; the Luminous Mysteries by Jason Evert\" class=\"wp-image-2167\" width=\"879\" height=\"512\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nikossteves.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Week-2.png 1038w, https:\/\/nikossteves.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Week-2-300x175.png 300w, https:\/\/nikossteves.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Week-2-768x448.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:53px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I value feedback through the comments section here<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">OR- Better via email at <a href=\"mailto:NikosSteves@gmail.com\">NikosSteves@gmail.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Constant Procession tells of key apparitions of the Virgin Mary since she passed on from the world and how she serves humanity through Christianity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The origin of these podcasts began with my book <em>Constant Procession.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">(An e-book copy of the book can be found here on the website.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Constant Procession; the podcast; is published here every Tuesday morning.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My 14th installment- From Time Magazine\u2019s &nbsp;pronouncement in 1966 that \u2018God is Dead\u2019 to riots across the USA over the Viet Nam War, this assertion by the powers that be about the status of God gives a reminder about the world in the 1960\u2019s.
