This is how all this is explained to me today.
Three Days of Darkness comes at the end of the reign of the Antichrist. Not before, because it does not add up with the following:
1. The Elect having their foreheads signed by the Cross. chp 9
2 The Two Witnesses, giving their testimony for certain number of days, during the Antichrist's reign. chp 11
3 The Woman Clothed with the Sun, chp 12
4 The saints being caught up to Heaven, probably the martyrs of the Church. The Woman fleeing to the 'wilderness'. Red dragon spewing waters; The Woman given wings of an great eagle that then flies into the 'Desert.' chp 12
5 Armagedon chp 16, which is likely the start of the Three Days of Darkness.
[10] And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast; and his kingdom became dark, and they gnawed their tongues for pain:
Just before:
[9] And men were scorched with great heat, and they blasphemed the name of God, who hath power over these plagues, neither did they penance to give him glory.
Then after:
[17] And the seventh angel poured out his vial upon the air, and there came a great voice out of the temple from the throne, saying: It is done. [18] And there were lightnings, and voices, and thunders, and there was a great earthquake, such an one as never had been since men were upon the earth, such an earthquake, so great. [19] And the great city was divided into three parts; and the cities of the Gentiles fell. And great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give her the cup of the wine of the indignation of his wrath. [20] And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found.
[16] Armagedon: That is, the hill of robbers.
[21] And great hail, like a talent, came down from heaven upon men: and men blasphemed God for the plague of the hail: because it was exceeding great.
6 Chp 17 describes the Harlot, and Babylons, offenses, sins, against God and Man.
7 Chp 18 describes, the waste of Babylon. Which is the after math
8 Chp 19, Heaven rejoicing and giving praise to God; Reveals Jesus as King of Kings, Lord of Lords and comes with the Saints to burn to ash, all the evil and wicked men and women. This chapter is probably in line with chapter 14, 18. A segmented chapter with finer details. I would assume the Visionary was given this portion in several takes, so he would get the details right. This is also seen when Jesus wanted Maria to see certain details more clearly in her dictations. He counsels her about many things. She was always, obedient, her human nature, which the Lord was working on at the same time to make her 'perfect' for Heaven. * the End of the Three Days of Darkness could be likely?*
Certain events have to take place. Mercy and Justice at work in all events. Depending on the situation. If they reject the Mercy, His Justice comes swiftly, there is only a three and a half year period. Very short time.
Lord said to Maria, in a few chapters, that East and West have to be purified before Jesus can return to the Earth as God-Man. God does not dwell, or coexist with Evil present. Purification.
Chastisement, then are the periods of Mercy, with Justice swiftly behind it, for those who reject 'Mercy.' Everything God does contains Mercy. He could just not say a word and wipe the Earth. How about that?
Then, after the period of total purification, which is represented in Padre Pios' writings, which is what Jesus also revealed to Maria, but with less verbiage, or description of harsher words, which is the Evil being burnt to ash, comes the Era of Peace, the Reign of Christ upon the Earth. Triumphant over His Enemies. The Church will then have been reduced in numbers of its members, in comparison with today's roster.
Mankind will have to rebuild, the wasted towns, cities, and nations. The few left of mankind, as opposed to the billions in today's count. Jesus revealed to Maria Valtorta the details, using kinder words of destruction than to Padre Pio. Just add Padre Pio's wording to Maria's dictations to get the idea of 'how horrible' the judgment of Justice is. It is, a grandeur.
Jesus explains to Maria several grandeur points of the Apocalypse. One, He says, it is a great grandeur taking place. Evil has laid its plan of a grandeur of destruction. Which Justice comes to purge, extinguish. The earth does not become extinct, but 'purified' of Evil.
Jesus explains to Maria, the build of Evil's destructiveness, in the myriad of ways. Weapons, large and small, like atom bombs, weapons that can be initiated by a button, war planes, jets, ships, all kinds. Yet, these are hidden to the general public, to not alarm the general public of Evils plan. So, the people naturally think when someone blows the whistle on a weapon, the leaders, persecute 'truth' revealers. The world looks like it is peaceful, doesn't it? But it's not. It's always, in chaos, a camouflage. A deception. The Lord has revealed how Evil works: Hidden in darkness, shrouded in darkness, thus, unaware to the public at large.
Many whistle blowers have come and gone, all 'declared' insane, madmen. But in reality were telling the truth.
The grand design is done in secrecy. For if the public were to gain knowledge, these who work in secrecy would be ousted. And precisely because these who work in secrecy to not want to be found out, is why, the governments put to silence such findings.
That is why the Information Technology Era has been a great advantage to, secrecy societies who have everything to gain. They keep watch of everyone's transactions, emails, phone calls, any electronically transmitted information. And is precisely why they have created 'huge' databases to house all your information, to keep tabs and use them against anyone who goes up against, these 'beasts' as Jesus calls them.
The fear factor.
The use these things against mankind pumping 'fear.' Fear of your death, of your losing, of anything to do with your life and lively hood. Sounds this came right out of Hollywood doesn't it? It didn't. Man blind to the reality let this happen, being 'seduced' as always.
Read Genesis, chapter 3, the Seduction. The Serpent said, "No, you will not die," to God's instruction. What God says, is always 'True.' Thus, if the first were seduced, it is easy to seduce their children as well. Because, they lost Grace, Truth and Protection, and introduced, Evil into humanity. Thus man fights always against God who is Truth. And, Jesus said, if Son has set you free, you are free indeed. But this means, you have to follow the Son's instructions, who leads and points man to obey the 10 Commandments. That is what the Son came to do. To have man, saved. If you do not follow them, the Good Book says, "you shall surely die."
And it's not just a physical death, but and eternal death. No eternal life.
Think about what God is telling man in events, in signs, in grandeur, of the broader picture, of what man is doing. All going the wrong way. Apart from God there is no Peace, Joy, and Life. Jesus said, I come to give Life and Life more abundantly. Not abundant material and sin and pleasure, But an abundant life of the spirit, to live in Eternity forever.
To "save."
Peace be with you always
