A messenger of God – self-acclaimed – Horacio Villegas says that he has predicted that the Third World War will commence this year in 2017. This is not the first time that the mystic has predicted events that went ahead to happen.  Villegas who lives in Texas came to the limelight following the fulfillment of some of his prophecies.

Earlier, he accurately predicted that Donald Trump will emerge as the 45th president of the United States since 2015 as reported by Daily Star. He further added that the billionaire businessman would be the architect of the nuclear war.

Horacio Villegas also predicted that attack on Syria by the United States which happened earlier in the month when Trump fired 59 Tomahawk missiles into Shayrat airbase near Homs suspected to be the origin of a chemical weapon attack that killed dozens of people. This action, he warned, would draw in China, Russia, and North Korea. 

If the prediction should be taken seriously, World War III may just be a few weeks away because according to Villegas, it would coincide with the first visit of Our Lady – a name that has been frequently used for Virgin Mary, the mother of God – to Fatima in Portugal.

It can be recalled that Our Lady visited Fatima on six different occasions. The first was on the 13th of May 1917. There is a strong claim by Catholic faithful that on this visit Our Lady warned that if Russia is not converted, the country would be used by God to inflict chaos on the world.

Villegas claims the commencement of World War III would coincide with the first visit of Our lady to Fatima which is just three weeks away. Our lady visited Fatima last on the 13th of October 1917, a date that would coincide with the end of the war.

The self-acclaimed "supernatural being" made his visions and prophecies known to Daily Star Online. This has resulted to a date for the nuclear war which would plague the world in few weeks’ time. Villegas made known one of his dreams where he said, “I saw balls of fire falling from the sky and hitting the Earth.”

Villegas was quoted to have told Daily Star that, "The main messenger that people need to know in order to be prepared is that between May 13th and October 13, 2017, this war will occur and be over with much devastation, shock, and death."

According to the clairvoyant’s vision, the war will wipe out a significant part of the world. He said he saw, “people everywhere were running around trying to hide from this destruction. Knowing that the world has not fully recovered from the tremors of the WWII, such prophesies and the tension already in progress between the world powers should be a serious source of concern.
