The following article is taken from
Reuters news. It concerns a prophecy attributed to St. Malachy, an
Irish archbishop from AD 1139. My comments follow.
Prophecy sees
"Olive" pope succeeding John Paul
ROME
(Reuters) - Maybe it describes the colour of his skin or place of
birth.
But the next Pope will be the "Olive" Pope, according to
a 12th century prophecy that foresees just two remaining pontificates
before the end of the world.
The often-cited -- and contested -- prediction is attributed to St.
Malachy, an Irish archbishop recognised by members of the Church for
his ability to read the future and who was canonised more than 800
years ago.
St. Malachy was said to have had a vision during a trip to Rome
around 1139 of the remaining 112 Popes before the Last Judgment, the
time when the bible says God separates the wicked from the righteous
at the end of time.
The next Pope will be number 111 on that list and is described in
the text as the "Glory of the Olive".
Like any good prophecy, there is plenty of room for interpretation:
he could be "olive" skinned, heralding from Latin America,
Africa or the Mediterranean.
"It could even be a Pope of Jewish origin, since the olive
branch is a biblical symbol for the people of Israel," speculated
Italy's La Stampa newspaper.
ECLIPSE
The Malachy prophecy has been the subject of controversy for
centuries. Critics say it is a forgery, possibly distributed as
campaign propaganda in the late 16th century to favour a cardinal
during the conclave.
But believers point to similarities with the pontiffs. Pope John
Paul II, number 110, was described in the prophecy as "de labore
solis" -- or "of the labour of the sun".
He was born on May 18, 1920, the same day as a solar eclipse. The
pontiff was buried on April 8, 2005 -- the same day as a partial
eclipse, visible in the Americas.
Some take the prophecy relating to John Paul less literally and say
it simply referred to the Polish Pope's birthplace in eastern Europe.
The sun rises in the East.
The 109th on the list, Pope John Paul I, was dubbed as "de
medietate lunae" or "half moon" by the prophecy.
Believers say this described his short stint in the papacy of just
over a month, stretching from one partial lunar cycle to another.
More pressing, perhaps, for doomsayers are the references to the
last Pope on the list "Petrus Romanus", or Peter the Roman,
and makes mention of the destruction of "the city of seven
hills" -- Rome.
"During the final persecution of the Holy Roman Church, Peter
the Roman will rule, feeding the flock through many tribulations, at
the end of which the city of seven hills will be destroyed, and the
formidable judge will judge his people," it says.
The number of
days in everyone's life are numbered. In the case of Pope John Paul 2, he lived
31,000 days exactly. (As
said, he died 1300 days after the Twin Towers fell---a
3.5-year period on the Jewish-calendar. (The fall of the "Twin
Towers" was figurative of the fall of Babylon.)
According to
St. Malachy's prophecy, Pope John Paul 2 was called,
"Of the labor of the sun". This is most
remarkable since just a few days after I put out the tape on the death of
Pope John Paul 2 and what it means in relationship to the heavenly
signs, I accidentally came across the above article. As it turns out, the
phrase "of the labor of the sun"
succinctly summarizes what I said the heavenly signs mean in regards to this
Pope! Here is a one-minute excerpt from the whole 80-min "3rd
part."
In
this excerpt, and throughout the audio, we explain how that the comets and
eclipses of 2004 were heavenly signs and that their interpretation is found in
the imagery of the biblical account of how the patriarch Jacob labored seven
years for a wife---and then another seven years again after that for a second
wife, (1929 to 1922 to 1915 BC---according to generally accepted chronologies).
(Compare the seven-year covenant Jacob makes with Laban in regards to a wife and
Daniel 9:24-27, Revelation 11-13, and 19). In the audio we explained how that the four
eclipses of 2004 are connected to Jacob's labor for a wife numerically.
In the picture bible code on the right side we see the lion Roll
your mouse slowing over image for additional information on what this bible code
reads.)
We spoke of how solar eclipses
signify two things, the death and resurrection of the sun (a type of Christ on
the cross---when the sun went dark at noon and then came out as He died), and
of a marriage, (such as Jacob's marriage). We said that this interpretation
was what the Lord showed me some months ago and that the burial of the Pope on
the day of the unusual "Hybrid" solar eclipse and of the marriage of
Prince Charles 12 hours after the eclipse brought out this great truth in that
both of them are king/priests who sit (or will sit) in a place reserved for
Christ. (Queen Elisabeth is the symbolic head of the Church of England.) Jesus
is the only lawful King and Priest---He is the root of King David. Jesus is
the lion of the tribe of Judah, as the picture bible code declares, which is
confirmed by the Bible in the book of Revelation.
(Click
on images to enlarge.)Thus, the Pope is a type of Christ only in
that the papacy asserts to itself the role of ruler (king) and
priest; however the glorious cross/scepter that he bears is destined for Messiah
(Jesus), "to whom it rightfully belongs," (Genesis 49). (Genesis 49 is the
same passage where the lion image is encoded.) We said in the audio that as
Jacob labored for a wife seven years, so also did Christ on the cross as
depicted in the sun darkening as in an eclipse. He labored to secure a
wife for Himself by means of His vicarious sufferings on the cross---the substitute
Lamb of God.
This was the labor of the Sun, about which the pope's death was simply a shadow
and type. But to our surprise, having just completed the audio we now find out
about this ancient prophecy concerning Pope John Paul tersely stating the same
thing, namely, "Of the labor of the Sun"! Only there
is one vital difference!
The
Lion Picture-Bible-Code proclaims Pope John Paul 2 as a false prophet,
and links him with Yasser
Arafat, a type and foreshadowing of the Antichrist to come! By
treaties of peace (when there can be no peace) they both pursued rulership
over Jerusalem and to grasp the scepter that alone belongs to Christ! This,
therefore, makes the prophecy of St. Malachy to be a deception of devils since
his prophecy under girds the papacy, which is an affront to the throne of
Christ. Jesus is the Head of the Church---not the Pope, nor Queen Elizabeth or
her heir. It belongs to Christ alone! God even makes use of wicked men to
demonstrate Himself, though they themselves are His opposite and
antithesis---and in this way God is glorified even over His enemies! But it
does not legitimize their actions. (See, "Book
of Revelation: Book of Contrasts.")
More proof
"During the final persecution of the Holy Roman Church, Peter
the Roman will rule, feeding the flock through many tribulations, at
the end of which the city of seven hills will be destroyed, and the
formidable judge will judge his people."
This is a demonic twist on what the bible
foretells in Revelation 13, where the bible declares that a Pope (or one like a
Pope) will head a whorish church that sits on "seven hills," and
that the beast (antichrist) turns on his ally---the whorish church---and burns
the city (Rome) to the ground. In one hour, like the Twin
Towers, "Mystery Babylon" will fall! Her
Lamp will be snuffed out! However, to the contrary, the prophecy of St.
Malachy (or whoever really wrote it) claims the the whorish church is really
'God's flock,' and that the Pope is the true shepherd, whereas the book of
Revelation declares this---that the Lamb---the Lion of the Tribe of
Judah---that He is the Shepherd of the true sheep and that the false prophet
and the antichrist are counterfeits. Hence, the prophecy of Malachy is
false---not in that it predicts the future incorrectly---but in that it
leads astray men from the true Christ to antichrist---and by this God tests
the hearts of men as to whether they love truth more than lies, and the
Creator than the creature. But God goes ahead in this Picture Bible Code to dislodge
the lie to all who will listen.
(The
end of the 3rd
part of the audio explains how one is saved and made ready to meet their
Creator on the day of Judgment. For a short animated presentation of the
