«A spark will ignite in Persia, and the fire will spread throughout the world».
(Reading: 5 mins)
A 19th-century visionary, Marie-Julie Jahenny, stated this clearly, and today that spark has already ignited the powder keg [1].
Israel attacked Iran on June 13, 2025, and again, alongside the United States, on February 28, 2026.
We are facing a crucial escalation of tensions that will lead us to a third world war.
Marie-Julie Jahenny also said that this is part of a punishment of wars, chaos, persecution, and literal darkness.
She said that men would provoke wars so violent that they would raze entire cities, that governments would be complicit, that peoples would be struck by catastrophes and famines, and that when men believed that nothing worse could happen, God would intervene directly.
She was supposedly speaking of “the Warning” that will come in the midst of a war provoked, spread, and sustained by hatred, and that the spark having come from Persia is no coincidence.
The name Persia carries weight in the language of prophecy. Persia, the biblical name for Iran, has appeared since ancient times as an instrument of God’s judgment.
In the Bible, King Cyrus frees the Hebrews from exile, but in end-time prophecies, Persia appears as an agent of war and purification.
Iran’s Shiite Islamists await their Messiah, the Mahdi, and believe his arrival will be preceded by great global chaos.
The Jews believe exactly the same regarding their Messiah.
And in 1996, a group of elites presented the “Clean Brick” project (A Clean Break: A New Strategy for Securing the Realm) [2] to the then-newly elected prime minister [of the country with the six-pointed star situated between two lines (rivers) on its flag]. This project outlined the destabilization of seven countries: Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan. All were destabilized, and only one remained: Iran.
And how far could this escalate?
The attack on Iran was not merely a regional action; it was an action that unsettles the entire world. Russia has already reacted with warnings. China has shown its support for Iran. Turkey and Egypt have mobilized their forces. Europe, like the United States, has aligned itself with Israel. Blocs are forming, and not merely to secure energy, trade routes, financial markets, or global security—everything could collapse if this fire spreads. And that is precisely what Marie-Julie Jahenny warned:
«A war would come as punishment and that it would be the beginning of a greater punishment. It would spread throughout the First World, and France would be plunged into violence, attacked from within and from without. Cities would burn, and chaos would be total».
And this physical war is the mirror of a much deeper spiritual war; these would be wars as punishment for the world’s apostasy.
Marie-Julie said that God would allow great suffering, that governments would fall, that the people would rise up, and her visions showed cities burning, entire towns overrun, and the clergy persecuted. It would be permitted to purify and to root out evil at its source. And she did not say it just once; she repeated it:
«The world will be punished for its pride, its impurity, and its contempt for the truth».
But he also announced that God will intervene, that when all seems lost, He will separate the impure from the holy—and it will not be symbolic; it will be real.
For his part, the elder Paisios of Mount Athos, who died in 1994 and was canonized as a saint by the Greek Orthodox Church in 2015, prophesied that the Middle East would be the starting point of World War III. He said:
«Palestine will become a battlefield. The Dead Sea will become a grave».
This will be the first part, but there will be a second part. And the second part would involve Russia’s entry into the Middle East conflict, and from there a broader war would break out between Russia and European forces.
And did all this suddenly begin now?
Certainly not!
And when was it?
In October 2023, something changed. That month would mark a turning point.
Two voices, two seers, received the same prior warning separately:
1. Father Oliveira, Brazil [3]:
«At that moment, the globe spun, and I saw the numbers 2023 and 2024. Then I saw only war. I saw people watching scenes of war on television. I asked myself: ‘Will the world see the horrors of war in 2024? Will this appear on television? Or will it be a conflict we won’t see, not being exactly physical?’ The certainty of a conflict seemed clear to me, but its nature did not […] Then the balloon came to a stop in 2029, and I saw a lot of people looking up at the sky (A cross in the sky? A celestial body like a second sun, before the Warning? Most likely…).”
2. Valentina Papagna, Australia [4]:
The Blessed Mother: (July 18, 2023) “Valentina, my daughter, I come to tell you to increase your prayer. Pray more than you usually do, and tell my children to do the same, to pray more now. I want to tell you that, in October (2023), God will give a great sign to the world, which everyone will witness. God wants to lead humanity back to the times when the world was not so corrupt and evil, when they appreciated and loved God and prayed, and lived a simple life, and God was very happy about it».
(August 6, 2023 – What will happen in October…)
The Blessed Mother: «People are curious and wonder what will happen in October. My children, do not be curious. You cannot tell God what to do. Leave everything in God’s Hands. Your job is to pray and trust in my Son.”
(October 10, 2023 – The sign promised for October 2023)
Valentina: «Most Holy Mother, people are waiting for the sign that God will send to the world in October».
The Blessed Mother: «Tell people right now that the greatest sign is at the top of the world—what is happening between Israel and Gaza, the war that is very dangerous, and could escalate into a very serious war and kill many innocent people […] Tell people to take this message seriously, to pray and repent».
Both visionaries were warned that in October 2023 a new and more intense phase of the tribulation would begin:
And on October 7, 2023, Hamas launched a large-scale surprise attack against Israel, which was the trigger for the war in Gaza, which then continued with Israel attacking Hamas in Lebanon and bombing Iran.
Since August 2022, Valentina Papagna has received a flood of revelations that the world had reached a breaking point and that God was deeply offended because humanity was not listening, was not repenting, and was living in darkness. And even many bishops and priests were no longer proclaiming the truth.
The Angel to Valentina (9 August, 2022): «Our Lord is now rotating and turning the earth, and everything is affected by this in a big way. […] This disturbs everything, and everything is out of place, and it will get worse before His Coming. There will be many disasters. For instance, disasters from fire, the earth moving, volcanic eruptions, droughts, with no water in some parts of the world, and too much water and floods in other parts. The earth now is shaking, and even Heaven is disturbed. Everything is erupting because the coming of our Lord is closer. The closer He comes, the more you will all be affected because you are all connected to nature and earth. A lot of people will be sick from the effects of these tremendous changes and movements. His power will shake the world. Our Lord is almost halfway with His Coming. With His Almighty Power, He will descend on earth».
The Blessed Virgin told Valentina:
«How much longer can I hold back my Son’s hand?»
And God the Father told her that evil men were already ready to start a war, but that until then He had held back their plans.
And on May 13, 2023, an angel showed her a cup shattered into pieces, a symbol that all of God’s Commandments had been broken.
And then came the most direct message: In September 2023, the Virgin told her that in October God would give a great sign to the world.
And what happened in October 2023?
A massive attack against Israel, and Israel began a war that continues to this day. And since then, the world has entered a downward spiral because the purification will not come all at once but in phases. And now, with the attack on Iran, tensions have escalated again, and a major war is on the horizon—one in which nuclear weapons might even be used.
And what will happen before this?
Marie-Julie Jahenny said that before the great punishment of a massive war, there will be intermediate signs:
- Sudden famine, even in wealthy countries.
- Plagues and unknown diseases.
- Storms, hailstorms.
- Civil unrest.
- Widespread apostasy, even within believing families.
All of this is permitted by God as a purification, but the devil will take advantage of it to sow despair.
Those who are unprepared will break down, and those who stand firm in the faith will be protected.
And the immediate signs we are already seeing are that the attack on Iran shook global markets, oil prices rose within hours, inflation, shortages, and unemployment are looming, and maritime transport will become unsafe.
And in the United States, as in other regions, civil unrest is brewing.

Jesus (Matthew 26:41–42): “Watch and pray, lest you fall into temptation […] My Father, if this cup cannot pass from me without my drinking it, Your Will be done…”
God the Father (to Robert Brasseur, Canada) [5]: “Today I ask you to intensify your prayers, so that you may find peace and love among yourselves. Without prayer, you will not be able to overcome this deluge of calamities.”
Most Holy Mary (to Robert Brasseur, Canada): “All those who are not united with Heaven through prayer will not be able to weather the storm that is about to descend upon them. […] Dear children, you have reached the END OF TIME! Look around you: everything is collapsing! Even those who think they are invincible—their ego will lead them to the gates of hell. There is only one way out, and it is narrow, so be vigilant and persevere, even if it costs you great effort. It is by fighting that you will persevere, and it is by persevering that you will win this battle. The war will spread to many countries.”

God the Father: «
"If you knew how you shine after duly approaching the Sacrament of Confession. "Jesus is in the Confessional and He hears every word, sees into every corner of your heart and Is eager to bestow the graces inherent in His Forgiveness.
"I ask to end to this abomination! No more of extraordinary Ministers of the Eucharist, no more of Communions in the hand!"
"Oh Jesus of Divine Mercy, hear my pleadings to you, for I am here to do your Will!"
"I place myself in the presence of the Most Holy Trinity (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) and by the power of the Blood of Our Lord Jesus Christ, I break, undo, trample, annihilate, render ineffective, and erase from my physical, psychic, biological, and spiritual being every curse that has been placed on me, on my family and family tree, on any person, family member, or ancestor through acts of occultism or spiritism. By the power of the Precious Blood of Our Lord Jesus Christ and through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, St. Michael, St. Gabriel, and St. Raphael, I break and render ineffective every curse, whatever its nature, in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen (Repeat the prayer 3 times)" 
"O glorious St. Joseph! by your profound humility, by your unalterable meekness, by your invincible patience, by your angelic purity and perfect fidelity that made you a timely imitator of the virtues of Jesus and Mary, I ask you to console me in all my sorrows, to guide me in all my doubts, to defend me in all temptations, to deliver me from all spiritual and material dangers; to extend your arm against all my visible and invisible enemies, breaking and destroying all the snares and barriers that they tend and arm against me. Amen." 
"Oh, blessed Saint Michael, protect us from the attacks and snares of the evil spirits because you know full well that we are poor mortals, fragile and weak, in need of the Mercy of God and of your protection to fulfill the mission that Heaven has commissioned to us. Oh, Saint Michael, may your victorious cry: “who is like God? no one is like God”, suppress and cast into Hell satan and all the evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the destruction of souls. Amen"
Come, Holy Spirit, send to us from Heaven a ray of your light. Come, Father of the poor, come, giver of gifts, come, light of hearts. Perfect comforter, sweet guest of the soul, sweetest relief. In toil, rest, in heat, shelter, in weeping comfort. O most blessed light, invade into the depths the hearts of your faithful. Without your strength nothing is in man, nothing is without fault. Wash what is sordid, bathe what is parched, heal what bleeds. Bend that which is stiff, warm that which is icy, straighten that which is astray. Give to your faithful who trust in you alone your Holy Gifts. Give virtue and reward, give holy death, give eternal joy. Amen.
"O Hearts of Jesus and Mary; I consecrate myself, I consecrate my family and the whole world, to your Most Beloved Hearts. Listen to the supplication which I making to you and accept our hearts in Yours, to be delivered and protected we, the whole world, from all evil and all sin. May the protection of your Two Hearts be refuge, strength, and protection, in the daily spiritual struggles. That the power of your Two Hearts irradiates the world so that it is protected from evil and sin. We willingly consecrate ourselves and consecrate all mankind to your Hearts; sure and confident, for your Great Mercy, to obtain the victory over the forces of evil in this world, and the eternal Glory in the Kingdom of God. Amen"
