Two strange coincidences / further connections regarding the Fatima Apparitions that links them with both Islam and the events of the French Revolution.
"In August 1931, due to illness, Sister Lucy was staying with a friend at Rianjo, Spain, a small maritime city near Pontevedra, to rest and recover. It was in the Chapel here that the Messenger of Fatima was once again given a communication from Heaven. Our Lord complained to Sister Lucy of the tardiness of His ministers who delay the Consecration of Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, as requested by Our Lady of Fatima on June 13, 1929 at Tuy, two years and two months earlier. Sister Lucy reported to her Bishop the important revelation:
"My Confessor ordered me to inform Your Excellency about what happened a little while ago, between our Good God and myself: As I was asking God for the conversion of Russia, Spain and Portugal, it seemed that His Divine Majesty said to me:
‘You console Me a great deal in asking Me for the conversion of those poor Nations: Request it also of My Mother, while saying to Her often: "Sweet Heart of Mary, be the salvation of Russia, Spain, Portugal, Europe and the whole world."
‘At other times say: "By Thy Pure and Immaculate Conception, O Mary, obtain for me the conversion of Russia, Spain, Portugal, Europe and the whole world."
‘Make it known to My Ministers, given that they follow the example of the King of France in delaying the execution of My command, they will follow him into misfortune. It is never too late to have recourse to Jesus and Mary.’
In another text she (Sr Lucia) wrote,
Later, through an intimate communication, Our Lord complained to me:
‘They did not wish to heed My request! …Like the King of France they will repent of it, and they will do it, but it will be late. Russia will have already spread its errors in the world, provoking wars and persecutions against the Church. The Holy Father will have much to suffer.’
Our Lord was here making an explicit reference to the requests of the Sacred Heart given through Saint Margaret Mary Alacoque on June 17, 1689 to the King of France. As a result of the refusal of King Louis XIV – as well as the refusal of both his Son and Grandson, King Louis XV and King Louis XVI – to publicly Consecrate France to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, (as was requested by Heaven by means of a recognized French Saint of that time), the Protestant and Masonic Counter-Church successfully carried out the great upheaval of the French Revolution.
On June 17, 1789, (the Feast of the Sacred Heart) exactly one hundred years to the day from when Saint Margaret Mary had written down the great designs of Heaven for the King, the Third Estate rose up and proclaimed itself a National Assembly, stripping King Louis XVI of his legislative power.
On January 21, 1793, France, ungrateful and rebellious to its God, dared to decapitate its most Christian King as if he were a criminal.
At Rianjo, Jesus warns us that this dark chapter of history will repeat itself, and this time the ministers of His Church – the Bishops, and perhaps even the Pope himself – will be among its hapless victims.
It would appear that this execution of the Pope, “the Bishop dressed in White”, together with other Bishops, Priests, Religious and lay people – as if they were common criminals – is what is foretold in the vision of Fatima released on June 26, 2000."

I would just like to add......
When the 3 Shepherd Children of Fatima failed to attend the August Apparition it was because they were kidnapped and driven by the Mayor in a Carriage to Prison. The date of that event was August 13, 1917. Coincidentally, that is the same date, (August 13 1792) that, 125 years before, The King and Queen of France were themselves kidnapped by another Mayor in a carriage, and driven to Prison.
I doubt this is a coincidence. Our Lord is telling us something by those two events occurring on the same date,
It seems that the apparitions of Fatima are confirmed to be linked with the events that occurred during the French Revolution. Since Christ had requested of Louis XIV that he must Consecrate France to the Sacred Heart of Jesus on June 17 1689 - exactly 100 years to the day that the Monarchy of France were stripped of all power and authority. He no doubt is inferring that because He has requested a similar Consecration - of Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary on June 13 1929, that awful things may start to take place 100 years FROM that date, (like before) upon June 13 2029.
From the images that Sister Lucia received to accompany the Third Secret of Fatima, it can be seen when you connect all the facts - that there is evidence to suggest that a similar event to the French Revolution may soon befall the Pope, Bishops, Priests and ALL Baptized people of Christendom
‘Make it known to My Ministers, given that they follow the example of the King of France in delaying the execution of My command, they WILL follow him into misfortune. It is never too late to have recourse to Jesus and Mary.’
‘They did not wish to heed My request! …Like the King of France they will repent of it, and they will do it, but it will be late. Russia will have already spread its errors in the world, provoking wars and persecutions against the Church. The Holy Father will have much to suffer.’
ALSO not generally known - a second amazing coincidence. The 1917 apparitions at the Cova Da 'Iria, was not the FIRST time that Christ had sent the Archangel St Michael (who is the Guardian Angel of Portugal) to Fatima. The Cova Da Iria, was ALSO the scene of a Miracle connected with a Battle against the Moors dated hundreds of years before (coincidentally) AUGUST 13 1385.
From article linked below....
"Six centuries before the greatest of Marian apparitions at Fatima, Blessed Nuno Alvares Pereira was providentially drawn to the Cova da Iria where he and his army experienced the awesome power of God......
.
It was August 13th, 1385 and the army was headed for Aljubarrota. Nuno had asked God for a sign that his outnumbered army would be victorious through the intercession of Our Lady Queen of Portugal.
Just as the troops crossed the mount of Saint Michael overlooking the Cova da Iria, a miraculous phenomenon occurred: The horses began to kneel and Nuno was led to the spot where in 1917 three little shepherds would hear from the mouth of the virgin that "most souls go to hell because of sins of the flesh, and that fashions would be introduced that would greatly offend God" - the Cova da Iria.
On the vigil of the feast of the Assumption, Nuno miraculously won the victory and freed Portugal...."
.....of Islamic invasion and persecution of the Church.

May God have Mercy on us. Amen
