The great battle of the end times: The more victorious hell will have been in the beginning, the more humiliated it will be afterwards

On numerous occasions, Jesus spoke to young Marcel Van (1) a Vietnamese seminarian who died a martyr in a Communist internment camp, of the reign of His Love, a reign for which He asked Marcel to offer prayers and sacrifices. 

St. Therese of Lisieux also often exhorted Van in visions, but on January 4, 1946, it was the Virgin Mary who talked about her reign to 'little Van':

"As Jesus told you, at the beginning of the battle my apostles will appear so weak that they will seem unable to resist the forces of hell. I will have to allow this for a while, so that my apostles can learn to be more humble. 

However, my child, the more victorious hell will have been in the beginning, the more humiliated it will be afterwards, for I will no longer be the one to crush Satan's head, but I will let my children do this work for me. Then my reign will be established little by little in the world."
