When the Garabandal Apparitions began in June of 1961, John XXIII was Pope.
At that time he was very much involved in preparations for the new Council, Vatican II. This was his great undertaking which, he believed, would rejuvenate the Church. He never lost this conviction and in his final illness prayed, “May it be God’s will that the Council fathers be able still to crown the great work they have begun. I offer up all my sufferings ut unum sint [that they may be one], that all may be a sole entity in Christ.”
The Council fathers did continue their work although the aftermath of the Council hardly lived up to Pope John’s expectations. He never lived to see it and died on June 3, 1963, just eight months after presiding at the solemn opening on October 11, 1962.
It was during the early part of June 1963, when the bells of Garabandal started to ring.
Hearing them Conchita told her mother Aniceta:“The bells are tolling for the dead! It must be for the pope (John XXIII, 1958-1963) Now only three remain.”
Startled, her mother reproved her:“What nonsense are you talking about?”, and Conchita replied:“It is not nonsense. The Virgin told me: After this pope there will only be three more.”
Aniceta then asked her:“Then what? Will it be the end of the world?”
Conchita replied:“The Virgin did not say the end of the world but the end of time.”
Afterwards, while talking to Mother Maris des Nieves Conchita said:“One day I said to the Virgin, at the time of the future events (warning, miracle and chastisement) 'Will that be the end of the world?' And She answered me "No, the end of time".
Paul VI is the first. He was elected on June 21, 1963 and brought the Council started by Pope John to its completion in October of 1966. Subsequently he reigned during one of the most turbulent periods in the Church’s 2,000 year history as unprecedented changes swept over the Church in the wake of the Council, changes often made in the name of the Council but not according to the dictates of the Council Fathers as expressed in the official documents.
On August 6, 1978, Feast of the Transfiguration, Pope Paul VI died peacefully at Castelgandalfo, the papal summer residence. He was 80 years old.
The following conclave elected as his successor, Cardinal Albino Luciani, Patriarch of Venice, who chose the name John Paul I in deference to his two predecessors. He was to reign for just 33 days and died on September 28, 1978. There is no record we know of where this Pope said anything about Garabandal but he was apparently referred to by Our Lady during the events. Santander businessman, Placido Ruiloba, a witness to more than a thousand ecstasies has testified to having heard Conchita say that of the three Popes that would remain after John XXIII, one would have a very short reign – muy poquisimo.
On October 16, 1978, Cardinal Karol Wojtyla, Archbishop of Krakow, Poland, was elected to succeed Pope John Paul I. He was the first non-Italian in some 400 years and took the name John Paul II in deference to his three predecessors.
Acording Conchita, the last pope died on April 2, 2006.
The crucial point is that the phrase “last pope” is inextricably linked with “the end of the times”, meaning that a great epochal event around the end of John Paul II’s reign will come which would coincide with the close of an era, but not of time itself. This means that there may be a successor pontiff.
At this point we can introduce the Nostradamus quatrain 8-46:
Pol mensolee mourra trois lieües du rosne,
Fuis les deux prochains tarasc destrois:
Car Mars fera le plus horrible trosne,
De coq et d'aigle de France freres trois.
which translated reads:
Paul the Solar shall die three leagues from Rhone,
Two near violent destructors have ran away,
Czar Mars will make the most horrible throne,
of the cock and the eagle of France three brothers.
We can note that Mars is Roman god of war.
The Cock was always connected in symbolism with the sun gods of death and resurrection, it has found its appropriate place in the four Gospels in the prophecy about Peter repudiating his Master before the Cock crowed thrice.
The Cock is heraldic symbol of vigilance, but also an emblem of St. Peter.
Eagle is symbol of United States of America.
If we combine it with quatrain 5-49:
Nul de l'Espagne, mais de l'antique France
Ne sera esleu pour le trembant nacelle
A l'ennemy sera faicte fiance,
Qui dans son regne sera peste cruelle.
which translates to:
Not from Spain, but from Ancient France
one will be elected for the trembling ship,
to the enemy will make a promise,
who in his reign will cause a terrible plague.
we gain further insight in their meaning, the meaning of the Garabandal phrophecy, and in the content of the third Fatima prophecy, of which Garabandal prophecy is a shorthand version.
Interpreted as integral part of history of the future, in the past tense, this two Nostradamus quatrains read:
Nostradamus quatrain 8-46:
From the start of his pontificate John Paul II, the most traveled Pope in history, has decided to go his own way. As he has tried to reverse decisions of Second Vatican Council, that was held in 1962, in order to save the Church he was continuously confronted from inside of the Vatican itself, and because of his effort to save the world, his life was in danger more then once. Most dangerous attack on his life was made by attacker from Turkey who was guided by hidden hand, but he relentlessly endured on his way.
As he was encircled with hidden and formidable enemy who can liberate his attackers, attacks have continued until they have succeeded.
After his death enemy of the mankind, communist and capitalist part, has started the most horrible war, and most horrible reign in the world,
and in the Church which St. Peter made, and in the free United States of America, and behind this effort toward the new world order were three brothers form France.
Nostradamus quatrain 5-49:
They were form border region between Spain and France and members of ancient society.
After Pope John Paul II has died, one from ancient France was elected as his successor while the Church was in grave danger.
He has made pact with enemy,
which during his reign will cause terrible plague and great dying....

Garabandal prophecy was nor accepted nor rejected by Vatican, because required procedure was postponed few times.
