Friday 16 August 1985 (Day 1)
The wonderful vision and message at this grotto commenced on this Friday evening when some members of the ORourke family came to the Grotto to pray. Having recited the rosary the family started to leave, Ursula taking up the rear.
As she looked up at the statue
she noticed that our lady was moving. First she thought that it was her imagination, and she looked away several times before she finally realised that she was looking at the Blessed Virgin Mary.
A strange feeling came over me which is very hard to describe. Tears came to my eyes, and I pulled my hands up from  my sides, joined them and then blessed myself. I said to the lady.You are the Queen of Heaven.She smiled. I kept exclaiming,why me? Why did you pick me, why? She smiled again, and then I said, Please bless all my family. She smiled even more. She did not speak to me during this vision.
The Lady described by Ursula stood there, her gown blowing as if in the wind. Her hands were joined in prayer and her head moved in a very slow reverent movement. North, South, East and West, the green shrubbery all around her spun. It formed a very dark green, which made Our Lady shine brightly.
Leaving the Grotto I walked, wishing to be respectful and keeping my eyes on Our Lady all the time. As I came out my sister, Mary was at the gate and I broke down and cried, crossing the road to the car. We all returned to the Grotto. Our Lady was still there but not as clear as the first time. I heard John say, Our Lady of Lourdes pray for us. I knew he could see. Mary was down at the rail shouting Look, Look!
Speaking later Ursula said that no words could describe how beautiful Our lady was.
Saturday 17 August 1985 (Day 2) During the afternoon a local woman Breda Coleman came to the Grotto to pray, with her daughters, Sandra (aged 13) and Carol (aged 6).
In Mrs. Colemans own words: The whole statue was glowing white and the blue sash disappeared, then the face changed to Our Lords face, bearded and dark hair to the shoulders, also glowing,
Sandra saw the same. They left somewhat confused.
All returned to the Grotto at about 5.00pm. Mrs. Coleman, who now had with her, her six children saw the statue glowing as before and the face changing to Our Lord periodically. Sandra saw several interesting visions-the background became dark and she saw St. Joan of Arc and other saints in full length appearing one after another. She then saw Our Lord, who floated upwards out of her vision as if towards heaven. Also she saw the vision which many people see Our Lords face then changing to that of Padre Pio.
Throughout the night, as word spread around, many locals called to the Grotto. Shortly after midnight there were about seven people praying. They had a torch on the statue. Among those present were Joseph O Rourke and his wife Marie. They noticed at about 12:30 am that the statue was moving from side to side. Then they noticed that the hands of the statue were no longer joined in prayer, but were down by the statues side, as on the Miraculous Medal. Then the apparition turned around. The vision faded and became the normal statue.
Sunday 18 August 1985 (Day 3) At about 1:30 pm a local farmer, Michael Cliffe, called into the grotto with his son Tom, aged 12 years.
 Tom was astonished when he saw our Lords face on the statue. They left the Grotto. Many other people were privilege to receive visions during the course of this day. Mrs. Breda Lyons saw Our Lord dressed in a white robe with a black belt in the place of the statue, as did her daughter, also named Breda, who saw Our Lord with his white clock blowing in the wind, hands joining and lips moving. She also saw Our Blessed Lady, whom she described as being beautiful, aged between 20 & 30, pale complexion, dressed as on the statue. She moved gracefully, head turning towards the road and hands unclasping in slow graceful movements. She appeared to be sad. Our Lady took one step forward, much to Breda's alarm as she though Our Blessed Lady would fall. The Lyons left for home. At around three in the afternoon Tom Cliffe and his mother visited the Grotto. Having said some prayers, Tom said he noticed the statue changing. First the statue began to move. Then the cloak blew in the wind. A silver crown with stones appeared on her head & she had golden hair flowing to her shoulders.
Then Tom says Our Blessed Lady spoke to him. He shouted to his mother: Mama, Mama, Our lady is speaking.
Our Blessed Lady said I want you, too or I want two. A woman standing next to Tom Exclaimed, The Blessed Virgin wants the child. Both Tom and his Mother were distressed and began to cry. Leaving the Grotto in a very upset state. Tom said, I am not going back there any more.
Later at about 4:30pm a local farmer, Jim McCarthy was praying in the Grotto when he noticed the statue changing, a mist or fog came over the statue, then Our Divine Lords face shone through & the mist cleared. Our Divine Lords face remained on the statue for a short time. Many people had visions during this evening.
That Sunday night at approximately 11:30pm Our Blessed Lady appeared to a local farmer, Michael ODonnell,
 Suddenly the whole background at the statue changed with steps towards the front. Our Lady took the form of a real woman and began walking down the steps. She was clothed in a white robe and blue sash as on the statue. She wore a veil and her face was lightly tanned. As Our Lady walked down the steps I felt shattered and I swayed backwards in a trance. Two neighbours came to my aid. After a time I recovered but within a half hour I became shattered as Our Lady came forward and a second time down the steps, which had roses on each side, and said to me PRESERVE SUNDAY FOR PRAYER. Then a neighbour and my sister saw me transformed into a very old man, completely deformed and with a bald head. Both thought that I was about to die. However, I was brought back to normal after a short time.
Monday 19 August 1985 (Day 4) Tom Cliffe came to the Grotto at 5:00pm with his mother and accompanied by his cousin Barry Buckley aged 11.
 Shortly after some prayers Our Lady appeared to both boys. First they noticed the gown on the statue blowing as in the wind, and then a crown appeared on Our Lady's head, with golden hair flowing to the shoulders. People were talking and children running around. Our Blessed Lady said through the boys BEHAVE. But when the people did not Our Blessed Lady again said BEHAVE When the people did not heed her, the boys said tears flowed from her eyes and splashed on the ground. The boys said that Our Blessed Lady was crying.
The people nearby realised something was happening and asked the boys why Our Blessed Lady was crying. Our Blessed Lady said I WANT PRAYER
People started saying the rosary. The boys could see the lips and fingers of Our Lady moving in prayer. When the rosary was finished the boys heard Our Blessed Lady continue with the Hail Holy Queen. All joined in to the end of the prayers, afterwards they heard Our Blessed Lady say THANK YOU
Shortly after this the boys got two biblical visions. The first was that of Our Blessed Lady standing in a line with six Apostles on each side of her.
Then Tom got the second biblical vision.
Our divine Lord and the apostles were sitting around a table in a big room. Outside in the streets were beggars and some people sweeping with brooms and dogs barking. It was a long table with Our Divine Lord at the top. Our Divine Lord had his finger up and seemed to be lecturing one of the apostles. This frightened Tom, as he thought Our Divine Lord was giving out to him, and Tom felt he was actually in the room and began to cry. Our Blessed Lady reappeared and said to Barry TELL TOM TO STOP CRYING . As Tom looked up she said BE HAPPY and then as he was slowly recovering, she said, BE HAPPY, TOM He then looked up again and smiled.
The boys were dressed in t-shirts and were feeling cold several times. Each time Our Blessed Lady sent down a warm breeze for a few seconds which kept them warm for up to half an hour. It was now about seven in the evening and Mrs. Cliffe said that they would have to go home. The boys noticed that this saddened Our Lady. Mrs. Cliffe said to tell Our Lady that they would come back. Our Lady smiled.
Shortly after 8:00pm the boys returned to the Grotto. Both their mothers were with them. As they settled on the seat Our Blessed Lady appeared. Ursula joined them shortly afterwards. She told the boys to ask Our Lady how long she would stay. Our Lady replied A WHILE . Somebody else also asked through the boys whether other people would see her. She replied, IN TIME
A large crowd had now gathered and the Rosary was been recited.
Our Blessed Lady was up at the top of the Grotto where the statue is - standing at the top of a flight of steps. She said I HAVE A MESSAGE . Then she walked down the steps towards the boys. She wore a white robe and blue sash and brown sandals on her feet. Her golden hair was flowing to her shoulders and she wore one red rose in her hair. The steps were of brown clay and multi-coloured roses of all sizes, some very large, at both sides of the steps. At the bottom of the steps she turned to her left a few paces from the waters edge in front of the boys and said, MY MESSAGE IS PEACE AND PRAYER - TELL THE PEOPLE THAT THE WATER IS BLESSED . Our Blessed Lady was very close to the boys with her arms stretched out.
 Tom put out his hand to touch her, but she said NO . She walked back up the steps again and turning at the top said: GOD IS ANGRY WITH THE WORLD. THE PEOPLE WILL HAVE TO IMPROVE AND PRAY. MY MESSAGE IS FOR ALL THE PEOPLE OF GODS CHURCH. THE PEOPLE HAVE TEN YEARS TO IMPROVE AND PRAY AND IF NOT THEN THIS IS WHAT WILL HAPPEN
They received this vision.
The stream in front of the boys turned into a river and the railings into a dam. To the boys left, where the people in the Grotto were standing, appeared a village of huts and beyond it men were building a three decked boat, which the boys recognised as Noahs Ark. One of the men, whom they took to be Noah, was a short fat man, white hair and no beard, chubby face and wearing old baggy, worn clothes. One of the boards which was being curbed to the slope of the boat, sprung out and knocked one of the men backwards. To the extreme left of the boys was a church. Some people were taking furniture out of the church and making gates and carts out of it. People were jeering at Noah. Other people were building the dam higher. Stones were being brought to the dam in roughly built carts - a few boards on the floor and rough creel in front, pulled by some ox like animals. One of the wheels of a cart came loose and the wheel fell off, much to the boys amusement. Many animals, large and small, were entering the Ark, up a ramp at the side. There seemed to be two of each animal - elephants, hippopotami, even chickens. A man on a horse was pulling a giraffe by a rope, another pushing from behind. The wind and the rain came. People were trying to make the dam higher. All the animals were in the Ark by this time. The small animals on the bottom deck, and the big animals on the top. Noah and his family were in the middle deck - Noah, his wife, two other couples and two teenage children. When Noah had the ramp closed he went to the back of the Ark to look at the dam. A crack came in the dam and it split in two. The water hit the Ark and it went flying in the air, It landed back in the water again. The people remaining in the village were swept away. But the waters kept rising and came up over the mountains and all were drowned.
Shortly afterwards someone asked through the boys, Why was there so much suffering in Ethiopia? Our Lady replied, IT IS THE CRUELTY OF THE WORLD . Someone else asked if the moving statue phenomenon was only happening in Ireland. ONLY IN IRELAND was the reply. Both boys had the following visions:
(a) Our Divine Lord clothed in dark robe, off the left shoulder turned sideways, exposing his left side with whip marks and holes in his hands.
(b) Our Blessed Lady with the cross in front and slightly below her. She had her two hands on the arm of the cross. A dark cloud overhung this vision.
(c) Our divine Lord wearing a red robe, the crown of thorns on his head.
As the boys arose to leave the Grotto, Our Blessed Lady said. GOOD BYE and repeated this as they departed.
When Our Lady spoke she usually appeared head and shoulders only but very clear and large a young tanned face, blue eyes, golden hair blowing as in the wind. Other times she appeared full length as when she came down to the waters edge.
Tuesday 20 August 1985 (Day 5) The night the boys and Ursula arrived at the Grotto at the same time, not by pre-arrangement but by coincidence. They said they felt they should come. Our Blessed Lady appeared and prayed with the people as she always did. Between prayers the boys would see and hear Our Blessed Lady saying the Rosary in a soft voice, which could be stern when giving one of her warnings. But the interesting thing is that she never used her own name e.g. Hail - full of grace and again Holy .... Mother of God.... Once Our Blessed Lady appeared to the boys, she took over and directed everything – asking for prayers and hymns, then speaking her messages sending wonderful visions.
Frequently a decade of the Rosary was recited in Irish. When this first happened, the boys noticed her lips were moving in a different fashion and they suddenly realised that she was answering in Irish. Our Blessed Lady asked for several Rosaries. Then she said to the boys, I LOVE THE IRISH PEOPLE , and again, I AM PRAYING WITH THE PEOPLE TO GOD TO FORGIVE THE IRISH PEOPLE ,and, I WANT THE IRISH PEOPLE TO SPREAD MY MESSAGE TO THE WORLD. When asked how this could be done she replied YE HAVE WAYS YOURSELVES OF SPREADING MY MESSAGE
THE WORLD MUST IMPROVE (said several times)
IF THE PEOPLE WOULD IMPROVE AND PRAY, GOD WOULD SAVE IRELAND.
I WANT THE PEOPLE TO ACCEPT MY MESSAGE FROM YOU
THE PEOPLE MUST PRAY MORE
THE PEOPLE MUST GO TO MASS MORE, AND RECEIVE MY SON MORE OFTEN.
I WANT THE PEOPLE TO BELIEVE.
THE WORLD HAS TEN YEARS TO IMPROVE, IT MUST IMPROVE TEN TIMES.
I WANT THE PEOPLE TO STOP SAYING BAD THINGS ABOUT ME AND NOT BE MOCKING ME. These messages were delivered with pauses, prayers and hymns intervening. Mrs. Cliffe told the boys to ask Our Blessed Lady would she and Barrys mother see her. Our Blessed Lady answered, THEY SHALL, and so they did later.
Barrys father then asked a question through the boys - Could Our Lady intercede with Our Lord to have the weather improved to enable the farmers to save the harvest? Our Blessed Lady replied WHEN THE PEOPLE WILL PRAY THE WEATHER WILL IMPROVE
A note was passed to the boys, which read What about Dermot? Tom asked the question and Our Blessed Lady immediately disappeared, to be replaced by Our Divine Lord. He was dressed in a red robe and pointed his finger at Tom, who then got a sharp hammering pain in his ears, for about five seconds, which made him cringe. Our Divine Lord and His Blessed Mother were then seen to talk together, but Tom did not hear them speaking. Our Divine Lord left and Our Blessed Lady said SORRY
(A year later Dermots mother said that Dermot is both deaf and dumb)
Shortly after this Tom received the vision of:
The apostles sitting on the floor in an up stairs room. Our Blessed Lady was also present. One of the apostles talking to another. Outside in the street, slave with chains on their legs were being whipped along by soldiers. The latter wore red cloaks and golden coloured helmets with a plume like a foxs tail or large feather slanting backwards. In front rode a soldier on a white horse. In the room Our Divine Lord suddenly appeared among the apostles. They all nodded their heads except one. This apostle then rose to his feet as Our Divine Lord approached him, showing his hands and feet. Thomas, of course it was he, then put his finger on one of Our Divine Lords hands and one on His feet.
Barry had a vision of grass growing rapidly in front of Our Blessed Lady, nearly covering her and then splitting in two, showing Our Blessed Lady as previously seen in the first vision with the apostles at both sides.
Both the boys also received the following visions:
(a) Our Divine Lord dressed in a white rove, His arms down by His sides, and also with His arms outstretched.
(b) Our Divine Lord dressed in red robe with His Heart bleeding. The holes were visible in His Hands and feet (the Sacred Heart.)
(c) Behind the statue three indistinct cloaked persons faces blank.
The boys got very tired this night and told Our Blessed Lady that they would have to go. She replied THAT IS ALRIGHT, I WILL SEE YOU TOMORROW. Wednesday 21 August 1985 (Day 6)
This night Our Blessed Lady asked many times for the hymn
Peace is Flowing Like a River. It happened like this.
Tom and Barry heard Our Lady singing the hymn, but not being familiar with it, they relayed the words. Members of the crowd recognised it as
Peace is Flowing Like a River
Our Blessed Lady said,
GOD IS PLEASED WITH IRELAND, IRELAND WILL BE SAVED.
I WANT THE PEOPLE OF IRELAND TO CONVEY MY MESSAGE TO THE WORLD
I AM PRAYING FOR THE SICK AND I BLESS THEM
The boys then received this vision:
The apostles were out in a boat in a great storm. Our Divine Lord was sleeping in an elevated position in the bow or stern. The apostles were afraid as the boat was lashed by the wind and rain, the rough waters splashing into the boat. The apostles woke Our Divine Lord from his sleep and he stood up and said, BE NOT AFRAID, I AM ALWAYS WITH YOU He held up his hand and said RAIN GO BACK TO THE CLOUDS the wind stopped and the sun shone out on calmed waters. The apostles much relieved, appeared happy.
Shortly afterwards Our Blessed Lady said,
I WANT URSULA TO HELP YOU TO MAKE THE PEOPLE BELIEVE YOU
I AM HAPPY WITH THE THREE OF YOU
The boys said that Our Lady was singing Peace is Flowing Like a River and the people joined in.
Our Lady continued
THE WORLD MUST BEHAVE
I WANT THE WORLD TO BELIEVE ME
I WANT THE WORLD TO GET MY MESSAGE
I WANT ALL OF YE TO TELL THE WORLD
YE HAVE WAYS YOURSELVES OF TELLING THE WORLD
MY MESSAGE IS PEACE AND PRAYER AND NO MORE FIGHTING IN THE WORLD.
This night the boys also saw the vision of the Nativity.
Tom (who saw part of this scene only) described three tribes of people of about fifty people in each tribe, converging down three roads. The three leaders were riding camels, and each tribe had a pack of camels. The tribes met and all lay down in the open for the night. The three leaders awoke and arising and taking a camel, they followed a bright star.
Tom's vision stopped there, but Barry's vision started where Tom's left off:
The three wise men, on foot, leading a pack camel and following the star, arrived at the stable. As Barry looked at it, one lantern illuminated the interior. Mary was to the right and leaning over the little wooden manger. (Barry could not see into the manger as the scene was above eye level) Joseph was to the left, the cow and donkey to the right and left respectively, both lying down. The shepherds and two lambs were to the front. There appeared to be wooden stalls at the back of the stable.
Again, the boys heard Our Blessed Lady singing, Peace is Flowing Like a River
Our Blessed Lady then said I WILL MAKE A MOVEMENT TO THE PEOPLE. As this was announce over the PA system, the excitement in the Grotto could be sensed. She then said, THANKS FOR THE HYMNS and then after a pause I WANT MORE PRAYERS.
But then things began to happen. The boys and some of the people around began to see her head move looking towards the road. The boys relayed. She is turning her head towards the road.Then after a pause. She is moving her fingers and in excitement Her fingers are moving. The people around the boys were saying, Yes, her fingers are moving, she is moving.These excited voices came across the PA She is moving - she is moving her head. I see her, she is moving sideways. Oh dear God. Then there were gasps around the Grotto as many people were seeing the figure turning several times towards the people on the road. Other people more fortunate were seeing the apparition of Our Blessed Lady herself as she turned towards the road.
Shortly afterwards one of the boys said, She has the Child Jesus in her arms. Many people saw this, Our Blessed Lady - a young woman with blue eyes, tanned face, wearing a veil - although the boys were seeing the flowing golden hair. She wore a dark gown which they descried as being a reddish brown colour. This was the only time Our Blessed Lady appeared thus dressed. The Child Jesus was smiling down at the people as was Our Blessed Lady. He raised His little arms up. One arm appeared to be around Our Ladys neck. Through the boys. Ursula asked if Our Blessed Lady wished the people to continue coming to the Grotto to pray. She replied I WANT THE PEOPLE TO COME BUT NOT IN LARGE NUMBERS. Mindful that the Grotto could not ccommodate the huge numbers endeavouring to get in. Our Blessed Lady was then asked if she would like the people to stay all night and she said I LIKE THE COMPANY
She then said, YE MUST BELIEVE.
Suddenly one of the boys said, She is coming down. By now the atmosphere in the Grotto was mystical. Our Blessed Lady through the boys said: I HOPE MOST OF THE PEOPLE SAW ME. Members of the crowd were heard to say Yes! Yes, we did, Oh God... Then through the boys, I HOPE MOST OF THE PEOPLE BELIEVE ME. Gasps of astonishment again resounded around the Grotto, as many saw visions, BE NOT AFRAID, I WILL NOT HURT YOU, she said.
The boys relayed to the crowds. She is walking down, she is near the little tree - her hair is blowing in the wind - she is happy.
At this stage people were inclined to back away in fright. But Our Blessed Lady reassured them, BE NOT AFRAID, I WILL NOT HURT YOU. After a pause there were more gasps as many people saw visions. Our Blessed Lady then said the following. The boys could see her as the full apparition of the Blessed Lady.
THE WORLD MUST BEHAVE (said several times during the night)
BE NOT AFRAID (as people were still apprehensive)
I HOPE YOU BELIEVE ME
I WANT THE PEOPLE OUT ON THE ROAD TO SEE ME.
I WANT THE PEOPLE TO COME IN AND SEE ME, BECAUSE I WILL LEAVE SOON.
However, there was no way the people could get in because those inside did not want to leave.
Thursday 22 August 1985 (Day 7) Both parents and boys arrived at the Grotto shortly after 8.00p.m. They had been caught up in traffic as massive crowds were on their way to the Grotto. The road outside Cappoquin was blocked for about 2 miles from the Grotto. But the parents realised that there was possibly another back way to the Grotto and to their amazement they were able to drive to within 100yards of the Grotto. They went to their usual seat (now railed off), where Ursula joined them.
Shortly after some prayer, Our Blessed Lady appeared as usual - first the cloak of the statue blowing in the wind, with flowing golden hair, then as she spoke the apparition became the very clear head and shoulders vision - a young tanned face, with blue eyes, but this time wearing a veil the first and only night to appear thus).
Turning towards the people on the road, Our Blessed Lady said through the boys, SORRY and turning back she said I WANT PRAYERS
Always when she requested prayers the Rosary would be recited, then silence giving Our Blessed Lady an opportunity to speak, which she invariably did. She asked for more prayers and the hymn Peace is Flowing like a river, and then said: URSULA MUST GUARD YOU . She repeated this again later through the boys:
THE WORLD MUST IMPROVE AND THE WORLD MUST BELIEVE.
IF THE WORLD DOES NOT IMPROVE THE DEVIL WILL TAKE OVER THE CHURCH .
And again shortly afterwards:
IF THE WORLD DOES NOT IMPROVE THE DEVIL WILL TAKE OVER GODS CHURCH IN TEN YEARS .
Then Satan appeared on Our Blessed Ladys left, laughing and jeering at her. She was weeping. Tom said he felt a needle pain in his ears. Barry said he felt a sore lump in his throat. The boys described the devil as pock-marked face, bulging eyes, big teeth, pointed nose and jaw, little stumps of horns and big ears. He held a three pronged fork in his claw-like hand. His feet were cloven hoofed and he was a reddish brown colour. This vision disturbed many people.
As the night closed Our blessed lady asked for more prayers and the hymn, which she asked for frequently Peace is Flowing like a river.
The boys said that she was happy and that she was praying with the people to God before they finally informed the crowd she had gone back to the statue. This night the stewards said afterwards that it was the largest crowd to date and that within the Grotto and out on the road some of the crowd were hostile.
Friday 23 August 1985 (Day 8)
This night Our Blessed Lady, through the boys asked for prayers and more prayers. TELL ...... THAT I AM SORRY FOR ..... SUFFERING . This reference was in relation to an incident which happened out on the road the previous night (Thursday). I WANT YOU TO PRAY HARDER . Shortly afterwards she said, I WANT YOU TO PRAY HARDER AND HARDER and again WITH YOUR FAITH AND PRAYERS YOU CAN OVERPOWER THE DEVIL , and so this was a night of much prayer, before Our Lady finally said, I WILL SHOW MYSELF TO MORE PEOPLE IN MORE PLACES. Speaking afterwards the boys said The vision of Our Lady was fading away this night. Saturday 24 August 1985 (Day 9)
At 3.00p.m. Tom came to the Grotto with his parents. After some prayer he noticed the figure moving back and forth. He asked the question which he had been requested to ask by a local nun, Are you the mother of Jesus Christ?. He received the following reply, I AM . Our Lady did not speak again to the boys and so the momentous events of the week at the Melleray Grotto were over. However, many people to this day report of vision they have received while praying in the Grotto.
OUR LADYS MESSAGE
Having read the contents of this web site you will see that Our Blessed Lady has chosen you and all the Irish people to be her messengers.
I WANT THE IRISH PEOPLE TO SPREAD MY MESSAGE TO THE WORLD. When asked how this could be done her reply was YE HAVE WAYS YOURSELVES OF SPREADING MY MESSAGE
This website is one way of spreading the message. To receive leaflets to pass on to your friends and relations or for general distribution both here and abroad, please contact the Grotto Commitee, stating numbers required, which will be sent to you free of charge or have some photocopied. Do as our Blessed Lady asks you, recite the Rosary often, at least daily. Help spread her message and we ask all peoples throughout the world to help in this work.
Some people have questioned some parts of Our blessed Ladys messages, particulary the following:
1. The Noahs Ark scene.
Please refer to the Holy Bible - Matthew 37 - 40
As it was in Noahs day, so will it be when the son of Man comes. For in those days before the Flood people were eating, drinking, taking wives, taking husbands, right up to the day Noah went into the ark, and they suspected nothing till the Flood came and swept all away. It will be like this when the Son of Man comes.
When Our Blessed Lady said: If the world does not improve the devil will take over the church
Please refer to 2 Thessalonians Chapter 2. 3 - 4
Never let anyone deceive you in this way. It cannot happen until the Great Revolt has taken place and the Rebel, the Lost One, has appeared. This is the Enemy, the one who claims to be so much greater than all that men call God so much greater than any thing that is worshipped that he enthrones himself in God's sanctuary and claims that he is God.
