Le Temps fuit, La Conscience crie, La Mort menace

'Now is the time! The abyss is opening. Here is the king of kings of darkness! Here is the Beast with his subjects, calling himself the Savior of the world. He will rise proudly into the air to go to Heaven. He will be smothered by the breath of the Archangel Saint Michael. He will fall, and the earth will open up its fiery bowels. He will have plunged for eternity with all his followers into the everlasting chasms of Hell. Then water and fire will purge the earth and consume all the works of men's pride and all will be renewed. We will then serve God and he will be glorified." Our lady of La Salette.
 

'And behold, He Who was enthroned upon that mountain cried out in a strong, loud voice saying, O human, Cry out and speak of the origin of pure salvation until those people are instructed, who, though they see the inmost contents of the Scriptures, do not wish to tell them or preach them, because they are lukewarm and sluggish in serving God’s justice. Unlock for them the enclosure of mysteries that they, timid as they are, conceal in a hidden and fruitless field. Burst forth into a fountain of abundance and overflow with mystical knowledge, until they who now think you contemptible because of Eve’s transgression are stirred up by the flood of your irrigation. For you have received your profound insight not from humans, but from the lofty and tremendous Judge on high, where this calmness will shine strongly with glorious light among the shining ones. Arise therefore, cry out and tell what is shown to you by the strong power of God’s help! For He Who rules every creature in might and kindness floods those who fear Him and serve Him in sweet love and humility with the glory of heavenly enlightenment and leads those who persevere in the way of justice to the joys of the Eternal Vision.' Hildegard of Bingen, Scito Vias Domini I/1.
 

'And the Holy Spirit released as assistants the good thought and the best truth and the fire of the wise Lord; the evil spirit released as assistants the evil thought and wrath with a terrible dart and the dragon Dahaka. Then the three-mouthed, he of the evil law, rushed forward, thinking thus in his heart: „I want to seize that Glory that cannot be forcibly seized.“ But the fire of the wise Lord advanced behind him, speaking in these words: „There give it up to me thou three-mouthed dragon, If thou seizest that Glory that cannot be forcibly seized, then I will enter thy hinder part, I will blaze up in thy jaws, so that thou mayest never more rush upon the earth to the ruin of a world of truth.“ Then the dragon took back his paws, as the instinct of life prevailed, because he was afraid of the fire of the Lord.'  Zend Awesta, Zamyad Yašt 19,49-50

'Then the fourth angel sounded his trumpet: And a third of the sun was struck, a third of the moon, and a third of the stars, so that a third of them were darkened. A third of the day did not shine, and likewise the night. And I looked, and I heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice: Woe, woe, woe to the inhabitants of the earth, because of the remaining blasts of the trumpet of the three angels who are about to sound!' Secret Revelation VIII.12-13.
