Message 7 of February 7, 1946
"Europe, be warned!"
Suddenly I see the Lady standing there. She waves her finger in warning and says,
"Look at Europe and warn the nations of Europe!"
The Lady looks very seriously and says,
"Ora et labora."
She waves her finger in warning again. Then I see a wolf. It runs constantly in front of me, back and forth. Suddenly the animal disappears. Then I see a sheep's head, with intertwined horns around it. Then the Lady says again,
"Europe must be careful. Warn the nations of Europe!"
As we will soon see, the entire message—though expressed in several images and presented in various ways—essentially speaks of one thing: the existence of evil and the struggle between good and evil. This struggle was inscribed in human history from the very beginning, when God introduced enmity between the woman, the serpent, and their offspring, as we read in the Book of Genesis. The existence of evil is necessary for man to even recognize what is good and what is evil. In turn, struggling with evil strengthens the human soul in doing good. For one can know what is good and what is evil and yet succumb to evil at the first temptation.
Similarly, Adam and Eve were—to a certain extent—aware that obedience to God's Will is good. They lived in Paradise, from which they could draw only good as long as they remained faithful to God's command. However, their willpower proved too weak to resist the temptation to break God's commandment. The situation is similar in the modern world, which is filled with all kinds of temptations. If a soul knows God but has weak willpower and is further manipulated by the whispers of the evil spirit, it is often deceived by evil.
It is not enough to simply know what good and evil are; it is also necessary to have a well-established willpower at a level that is in harmony with God's Will and fully known only to God. Only then will a person not succumb to temptations or the whispers of evil thoughts. This inner strength, measured by God's standards, is essential to life in the Kingdom of God. God creates man in his own image, therefore, the fight against evil is at the heart of the human vocation. When God created the world, he also opposed evil, introducing principles and order into the chaos that enveloped it. In this way, he responded to evil with good.
We see, therefore, that God's commandments are good, whose purpose is to lead humanity out of darkness. God's words are light for man. Experience shows that a world left to its own devices ultimately tends toward self-destruction because it follows the spirit of this world.
It is worth mentioning here that the story of Adam and Eve is based on the principle relating to Mount Gerizim—the mountain of blessings—and Mount Ebal—the mountain of curses. This principle is an essential element of the revelations of the Lady of All Nations.
Adam and Eve, keeping their covenant with God, enjoyed His blessing and benefited from all the good that Paradise bestowed upon them. However, when this covenant was broken, the earth became a curse for them. The hardships of life, suffering, and various kinds of catastrophes are consequences of breaking the bond with God—experiences through which man experiences the consequences of sin and evil firsthand. At the same time, however, they also fulfill an educational function: they teach us to distinguish good from evil and serve to strengthen the soul in doing good.
As with the first people, today, breaking the covenant with God means that the earth can become a curse for man. However, the struggle against evil remains essential for man to become increasingly like God. For whoever remains passive in the face of evil does not follow the path of divine likeness.
The Latin phrase ora et labora, meaning "pray and work," appears in the message under discussion. To fully understand the message of these words, they must be read in the context of their origins—the Rule of St. Benedict, which serves as a practical guide to life for monastic communities. St. Benedict pointed out that a life governed by clearly defined principles leads to harmonious development—both spiritual and physical—just as God, by creating the world, brought order to it, overcoming chaos. One such divine principle is to bring peace to a world engulfed in unrest, as Christ taught us.
It is also worth noting that principles do not always originate with God. Human-invented ideologies may be based on their own rules, but they are usually not created for the good of man, but only to enslave him. The Rule of St. Benedict is based entirely on Sacred Scripture, the Word that comes from God and is for the good of man. Living according to its principles leads to order and development, while their absence leads to chaos and stagnation, both spiritual and physical.
The Rule of St. Benedict repeatedly addresses the theme of the struggle between good and evil, which perfectly corresponds to the message of the Lady of All Nations discussed here. St. Benedict says that a person who has distanced themselves from God through disobedience must return to Him through obedience.
However, we must remain vigilant and discern whose commands we are obeying, whether we are following a "wolf in sheep's clothing." We must not blindly follow a superior if the teachings they preach contradict Sacred Scripture: "The abbot should not establish or command anything contrary to the law of God." (Rule of St. Benedict).
This means that the superior—the shepherd—does not create his own doctrines but is their transmitter. The source of teaching remains the Word revealed by God, which is light for humanity. Furthermore, we must carefully observe the fruits of the shepherd's life. As St. Benedict writes: "Let him teach by example rather than by words."
The holiness of a shepherd is therefore crucial. If it is disturbed in any way, such a person should not serve as a superior, whose task is to form God's sheep. Erroneous teaching preached by a bad shepherd harms those who in good faith sought to obey. Therefore, it is crucial to discern where a given teaching leads. St. Benedict describes in detail the characteristics of a good shepherd and the methods he uses to lead the sheep out of darkness into the light.
We also see that in the context of the discussed message of the Lady of All Nations, it is particularly important not to be deceived by the "wolf in sheep's clothing," which perfectly corresponds to the Rule of St. Benedict. It is important to emphasize that the fight against evil takes place not only outside the walls of the Church but also within it, as the Lady of All Nations emphasizes. In the previous message, we described the Anglican Church, whose goal is not reconciliation with the Catholic Church, but rather the imposition of its own principles, consistent with the spirit of this world.
In this context, later in the message, we see the Pope twisting Holy Scripture, which symbolically means attempting to adapt God's Word to the spirit of this world. The consequences of such behavior are identical to the story of Adam and Eve. When God's commandment is broken, the earth becomes a curse for man. Therefore, the message includes warnings addressed to both the world and the Church: disasters and wars will come, because breaking the covenant with God by falsifying Holy Scripture leads to the destruction of the order He established.
The phrase ora et labora emphasizes that the divine element should be present in every human work and action. Man, as a rational being, can become an instrument in God's hands only when everything he does is in harmony with His Will, revealed in Holy Scripture and in the Living Word – Christ. Then the earth will no longer be a curse for humanity, but will become a blessing.
The Lady of All Nations warns the peoples of Europe to be vigilant and on guard. And this applies not only to shepherds, but also to all kinds of ideologies. For the times are coming when ideologies—ostensibly bringing good—will attempt to draw people away from God, scattering His sheep and obscuring the truth. Evil will not manifest itself openly, but will operate under the guise of goodness, humanism, or a falsely understood tolerance.
This image directly echoes the words of Jesus in the Gospel, where he warns against "wolves in sheep's clothing"—those who disguise themselves as shepherds and leaders, but in reality are instruments of dispersion and confusion. Christ warns against that which pretends to be light but is in reality darkness.
The words "Ora et labora"—pray and work—also appear in this context. After reciting these words, the Lady of All Nations allows Ida Peerdeman to see the wolf disguised as a sheep—invisible at first glance. This image shows that prayer provides the light of discernment, enabling us to see apparent truth through the action of the Holy Spirit, who supports people in recognizing evil hidden under the guise of good.
Fighting evil, however, is work—one that requires sacrifice, renunciation, and often pain. "Ora et labora" is not only a call to prayer, but to full commitment—in spirit and action. This message shows that it is not enough to recognize evil—one must also have the courage to oppose it.
"Then the Lady allows me to see Rome. I see the Vatican clearly, which is turning. It's as if the Lady is now beckoning me to Her, beckoning me with her finger. She says,
'Come, look at this carefully.'
She then raises three fingers, then her whole hand, so five fingers. She repeats this several times in front of me:
'Look carefully and listen,' she says.
'East against West.'
Then I hear the Lady say again,
'Europe, be careful!'
Suddenly I see England before me. The Lady descends a step. It seems as if she is placing her foot on England. I look closely and see Her folding Her hands. Then She warns again. I hear Her say,
'Woe to you, England!'
In her first message, the Lady of All Nations announced the liberation of the Netherlands from Nazi Germany, understood as the victory of good over evil. This event took place on May 5, 1945.
The date was conveyed in the message through a symbolic hand gesture. The Lady of All Nations first raised three fingers, symbolizing the month of the message—March. She then raised the fourth and fifth fingers, symbolizing April and May. Thus, the fourth and fifth fingers indicated the year of liberation—1945, while the fifth finger, on which the countdown ends, clearly indicated the date of May 5. This is the day the Netherlands regained its freedom, which, as the Lady of All Nations emphasizes, is attributable to the action of Christ.
The same gesture reappears in this message. Since the entire message speaks of the struggle between good and evil, the raised fingers, this time in a different arrangement, are meant to indicate a time when this struggle will take on particular significance in the events unfolding between East and West—in Europe, England, and the Catholic Church.
The gesture of three, then five, raised fingers signifies 35 years. Adding this number to the year the message was delivered (1946), we arrive at 1981—a unique year in the history of the Catholic Church, Europe, and England in the context of the struggles between East and West.
At that time, tensions between East and West reached a dramatic level, sometimes referred to as the "Second Cold War." In the United States, Ronald Reagan became president, hardening his policy toward the Soviet Union, increasing the risk of nuclear conflict in Europe. England, as a close ally of the United States, found itself in a potential nuclear threat zone.
That same year, missiles were deployed in Europe and the Eastern Bloc countries, and Poland became a key point of political tension in the region. It is worth recalling that Poland never aspired to be a member of the Eastern Bloc, but as a result of aggression from its neighbors and the betrayal of its allies, it was conquered and forcibly incorporated into it.
In her address, the Lady of All Nations first raises three fingers, then five, symbolically referring to May 3, 1981. On that day, demonstrations against communist rule took place in Poland, organized across the country. As May 3 is the national holiday commemorating the adoption of the Constitution – a symbol of the fight for rights and freedom – this day became an opportunity to demonstrate the desire to regain sovereignty and oppose communist rule. Participants began the day with Mass and then marched through city streets carrying banners and religious symbols. These events enjoyed the support of the Catholic Church and Pope John Paul II, who emphasized the right of Poles to freedom and the defense of Christian values.
The communist authorities, fearing a loss of control over Poland and the potential collapse of the Eastern Bloc, responded by assassinating John Paul II on May 13, 1981. The aim of the attack was to intimidate society and limit the Pope's influence in Poland, according to the principle: "strike the shepherd and the sheep will scatter." The next step of the communist authorities was the imposition of martial law in Poland on December 13, 1981, aimed at suppressing opposition and restricting civil rights.
The year 1981 was a turning point not only for Poland but for all of Europe. Poland became a key country in the Eastern Bloc, where social resistance reached a massive scale, initiating a process that ultimately led to the collapse of the Eastern Bloc and the USSR. This was not the first time that Poland's stance saved the West.
History has shown that Poland suffered the greatest sacrifices during this period – repression, internment, restrictions on social life, and the deaths of protesters – but its resistance was fundamental to the freedom of the entire region. It could be said that Poles shouldered the burden of the fight for freedom, liberating both the East and the West from the political oppression of communism. Had Polish society not rebelled against the communist regime, ultimately leading to the collapse of the Eastern Bloc, a nuclear war could have broken out, with the consequences felt throughout Europe.
In the Christian context, Poland bore the brunt of the tensions between East and West, thus saving both parts of Europe from destruction. It is worth recalling that Poles not only resisted the communist regime, which repressed them, but also suffered the consequences of the sanctions imposed on the country by the West.
The message also features England, which is depicted in a way that clearly alludes to Scripture: Mary sets foot on its territory, simultaneously uttering the words: "Woe to you, England." In the biblical sense, this gesture should be interpreted as trampling on the head of the serpent, a harbinger of the struggle between good and evil. This motif directly echoes the words of Christ in the Gospel of Matthew:
Mt 23:33 You serpents, you generation of vipers, how will you escape the condemnation of hell?
This imagery is consistent with the previous message, which spoke of Joan of Arc and the liberation of France from English occupation, as well as the subsequent influence of the Church of England on the Catholic Church, symbolically portrayed as a form of spiritual occupation. The words "woe to you, England" are directly related to the priests of the Church of England and to the teaching of Christ contained in the Gospel of Matthew:
Mt 23:29-36
23:29 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you build the tombs of the prophets and decorate the sepulchres of the righteous,
23:30 and say, "If we had lived in the days of our ancestors, we would not have been partners with them in murdering the prophets."
23:31 By this you yourselves confess that you are descendants of those who murdered the prophets!
23:32 You also fulfill the measure of your ancestors!
23:33 You serpents, you brood of vipers, how will you escape the condemnation of hell?
23:34 Therefore, behold, I send you prophets, wise men, and scribes . Some of them you will kill and crucify; some of them you will scourge in your synagogues and persecute from city to city.
23:35 So on you will come all the innocent blood shed on the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah son of Barachias, whom you murdered between the temple and the altar.
23:36 Truly, I say to you, all these things will come upon this generation.
In this passage, Jesus addresses the scribes and Pharisees, sharply criticizing their attitude—similar to his attitude toward Anglican priests, who, instead of standing with God, become His adversaries.
Evidence of this attitude is the rejection and killing of God's prophets sent for their good, which Christ speaks of in the final verses of the Gospel cited. This happened in the case of Joan of Arc, who was executed by the English, and, symbolically, also with the apparitions of the Lady of All Nations and the person of Ida Peerdeman, which were rejected by Anglican Protestants who did not recognize Mary's role in God's plan of salvation. The influence of Protestantism on the Catholic Church was one reason these apparitions were not formally recognized, which again illustrates the spiritual occupation of the Catholic Church by the Church of England.
At the same time, the message indicates that prayer can save England, symbolized by the joined hands of the Lady of All Nations. Thanks to this, this country does not have to share the fate of Sodom and Gomorrah if it responds to the call to conversion. In this context, Poland's role appears decisive for the salvation not only of England but also of all of Europe. It was Poland—as previously indicated—that shouldered the burden of threats resulting from the growing tensions between East and West.
Thanks to this sacrifice, the threat of nuclear war was averted, as it was with Poland that the process that led to the disintegration of the Eastern Bloc began. From a biblical perspective, one could say that Poland took upon itself the curses of this conflict so that both East and West could be saved.
"The Lady signals to me to look carefully. Suddenly, I see Rome before me again, and the Pope seated. The Pope holds an open book in his hand, which he shows me. I cannot make out what book it is. Then the Pope turns the book in all directions. I hear the Lady say,
"But much must be changed there."
And she points to where the Pope is sitting. She looks very seriously and shakes her head.
The Lady raises three fingers again, then five. Suddenly, a dizzying feeling comes over me. I hear her say,
"Again, new catastrophes will come upon the world."
In the above image, a reference first appears to the division of Europe into East and West, and then attention is directed to the Vatican. The juxtaposition of these images allows for a subtle understanding of the message that just as Europe has been divided, so too does this division touch the very heart of the Church.
This is clearly conveyed by the vision of the Pope, in Ida Peerdeman's vision, turning a book in his hands, facing it in different directions. This book undoubtedly symbolizes the Holy Scriptures. The very gesture of turning it suggests that the Pope – influenced by other Christian denominations and dominant ideological currents – is attempting to adapt the content of God's Word to the expectations of the contemporary world, instead of remaining fully faithful to Him.
This is a dangerous phenomenon – an attempt to overwrite human thought with the revealed Word of God. In the Gospel, Jesus clearly states: "Truly, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not one jot, not one tittle, will pass from the Law" (Matthew 5:18). Any alteration, manipulation, or relativization of revealed truth constitutes a sin that has its consequences, defined in the Book of the Law of Moses.
Recall that in biblical history, catastrophes befell peoples and nations when the covenant with God was broken, and among them were no righteous who could avert the coming judgment. The Pope should be the voice of truth and justice, the bulwark of the authentic Gospel. However, if, under pressure—whether from outside or within the Church—he begins to adapt Sacred Scripture to the world, he will not only lose spiritual authority but also bring danger to the Church and the world. This is precisely what was presented in the message of the Lady of All Nations as a spiritual breach of the covenant with God.
In the Book of Genesis, God promises that he will no longer send a flood upon the world if he sees his bow in the sky. In the light of the messages, this bow symbolizes justice, righteousness, and love of neighbor. If these values are rejected by the world, then—as in the case of Adam and Eve—the earth will become a curse for humanity, manifesting itself through various catastrophes.
Note that the Lady of All Nations, by making a hand gesture, first raising three, then all five fingers, may also refer to the date of May 13, 1981, the date of the assassination attempt on Pope John Paul II.
"Suddenly I see a plain before me. A large egg is placed on it. And as I look at it, I suddenly see an ostrich running away quickly.
Then many black children appear before me. Then I feel the warning again and I see white children. I have the impression that I see the Lord Jesus standing there surrounded by children. The figure I see is luminous. I hear:
'Let the little ones come to me!' and I see the inscription: 'Children must be brought up in Christian doctrine.'"
The apparition scene, depicting a running ostrich and a giant egg, symbolically introduces us to the atmosphere of Africa. This is not only a cultural backdrop but also a sign that the message of the Lady of All Nations is universal – encompassing every continent, every culture, and every person. In the vision accompanying the apparition, we see children – both Black and white – gathered together. This image is not accidental. From the very beginning of the message, the theme of divisions appears: between East and West, between various factions in the Church, between "both of us."
At the center of this diversity stands Jesus Christ, surrounded by children of different races. He unites, not divides. Christ desires to unite all nations and every child of God – regardless of skin color, origin, or cultural affiliation. However, for this unity to be possible, children must be raised from an early age in the Christian spirit – based on values such as righteousness, justice, and love of neighbor. Only through such an upbringing can true peace be built.
True transformation of the world can only begin when, following Christ's example, we begin to bridge divisions from childhood onward. Schools, communities, and educational environments should be places of unity, mutual respect, and community-building. Children raised in an atmosphere of prejudice and division will perpetuate them into adulthood—instead of reconciling, they will divide.
The most important formative period for a person is their childhood. What is sown within them will accompany them throughout their lives, and change later in life will be very difficult. Therefore, education in the Spirit of God—based on Gospel values—is not solely the task of parents or teachers, but a spiritual obligation of the entire community of believers.
The Lady of All Nations demonstrates that the future of humanity depends on how we raise our children—whether in division and indifference, or in the Light of God bringing truth and love. Only an education in God's values can guarantee the world true peace—not the temporary and superficial kind, but a deep and lasting peace rooted in God.
The above message also has a deeper meaning. It turns out to be a prophecy foretelling the approaching apartheid system in South Africa. It was fulfilled in 1948, two years after the message was delivered. The image features an ostrich – the most abundant bird in this region. It is shown fleeing, symbolically indicating the approaching threat. Furthermore, the ostrich has left its egg, which in nature only happens in situations of severe stress. Ostriches flee from predators, noise, or other dangers. Because they cannot fly, their natural mode of travel is running, during which they can reach speeds of up to 50 km/h and maintain this speed over long distances. We can therefore see that, in the context of the message, the threat the ostrich is fleeing is precisely the approaching apartheid system, which is introducing the deep racial divisions indicated by Christ.
Further on in the image, we see Christ surrounded by a large number of Black children, followed by white children. In this context, the symbolism of "large numbers" is significant. It portrays the dominant role of the black majority in society, which the prophecy alludes to actual historical events.
Apartheid was a system of legal, state-mandated racial segregation in South Africa from 1948 to 1994. It maintained the power of the white minority (approximately 10–15% of the population) over the black majority. The message shows that there are more black children than whites. People were divided by race, and the rights of black people were drastically restricted: mixed marriages were banned, forced relocations were introduced, and blacks were required to have mandatory passes. The apartheid system was maintained through violence, and all protests were brutally suppressed, as exemplified by the massacres in Sharpeville (1960) and Soweto (1976).
Nelson Mandela, among others, led the resistance to apartheid, spending 27 years in prison, becoming a symbol of the freedom struggle. After his release and assumption of the presidency, the process of national reconciliation began in South Africa, and full legal equality was introduced.
In the message, we see Jesus standing among black and white children, clearly demonstrating that for God, there are no racial divisions—all are equal. However, the message emphasizes that this equality and Gospel values should be instilled from a young age, and therefore all children should be led to Jesus and raised in the spirit of love, righteousness, and justice.
Then I see a fragment of a map and hear,
"Judea"—and I see the words "Jerusalem." Then I see two lines with arrows at each end. One says "Russia," the other "America."
Then it's as if I were standing with the Lady above the globe. The Lady points to something, and I see the moon in front of me, very clearly. Something is coming. I see it landing on the moon. I say, "Something is landing on the moon." It's as if I'm floating in space. There's a strange feeling all around me, and I say, "Some kind of natural phenomenon."
The above excerpt from the message of the Lady of All Nations contains an extraordinary prophecy that foretells a man's landing on the moon—an event that took place on July 20, 1969. Significantly, this vision appears in the context of children and their Christian upbringing. This is no coincidence: such a powerful prophetic sign is intended to reinforce the message that children must not be forbidden to come to Christ. On the contrary, they must be led to Him and raised in His teachings, based on justice, truth, and love of neighbor.
This message is not limited to the moon landing itself, but also indicates that even if differences and tensions exist in the world—national, cultural, or ideological divisions—they can be transformed into healthy competition, leading to the development of civilization, not its decline. Such healthy, evangelical competition can serve the good of humanity.
It was the Americans who were the first to set foot on the moon, and also the first to recognize Jerusalem—located in the territory of ancient Judea—as the capital of Israel. We see, then, that the winner of the technological race was to be the first to express this act of recognition.
Children should have open and unhindered access to Christ, for their education in the spirit of the Gospel will not only shape their personal lives but also influence the future of all humanity. Only people united with Christ can achieve truly great things.
"Then I hear the Lady saying,
'Peoples of Europe, unite! This is not right!'
I see Germany in the middle of Europe, and it's as if that country wants to break out.
Then I see England again. Now I have to hold the crown, very tightly, with both hands. It's as if the crown is tottering and I have to cover England tightly with it. I hear,
'England, understand your task well! England, you must return to the Most High, the Highest.'
And now the Lady suddenly disappears."
The above excerpt from the Lady of All Nations' message clearly indicates that "all is not well in Europe." In light of the entire message, we see that Europe will be vulnerable to attacks from external forces, therefore unity is necessary. Only unity can repel the growing evil, both politically and spiritually.
At the center of the image, we see Germany – a country that seems to desire to "go beyond" its own borders, spreading its dominance. This is not just about military expansion, but above all, the spread of ideological influence, which, considering European history, can be considered a characteristic feature of this nation. In retrospect, we see that this prophecy has been fulfilled.
Further into the vision, England reappears – this time its crown is being torn in all directions. This is a clear symbol of the internal tensions and divisions within the country, the result of the evil spirit that is causing unrest. Interestingly, observing contemporary events, we see that numerous changes and social disputes are indeed taking place around the British monarchy – the crown itself – which are eroding the foundations previously considered inviolable.
We see, therefore, that this part of the message also gives it a prophetic dimension.
The Lady of All Nations indicates that only a return to God can stop the evil that seeks to destroy England. In a historical context, this refers to King Henry VIII, who in the 16th century established the Church of England, separating it from the Catholic Church. Through this image, the Lady of All Nations clearly emphasizes that England must return to God, and that leaving the Catholic Church was a violation of God's Will. In this context, the practices and doctrines of the Anglican Communion should not be imitated, as separation from the Catholic Church meant its schism.
We clearly see that the entire message in question carries a prophetic message, revealing to the world the divisions, threats, and conflicts between people—inscribed in the fate of the world as the woman's struggle with the serpent, as the clash between good and evil. Man must not forget that evil exists in the world, and his vocation, as the offspring of Mary, is to fight it and expel it from this world. Unfortunately, it seems that many—including the Catholic Church itself—often forget this.
We must also remember that the battle is not only military, but also spiritual, which, as Our Lady of All Nations states, is far more dangerous. This is also confirmed by the words of Christ:
Mt 28:28 "Do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, fear the one who can destroy both soul and body in hell."
