WARNING – I’VE BEEN WRONG WHO THE NEXT POPE WOULD BE IN THE PAST!
YEARS AGO I BELIEVED IT LIKELY THE FINAL POPE WOULD BE THE FALSE PROPHET OF REVELATION 13, BUT I CAME TO BELIEVE I WAS WRONG, AND IMMEDIATELY BEGAN TEACHING THE FALSE PROPHET WOULD BE OF THE ISLAMIC FAITH.
I’VE ALWAYS BELIEVED ANTICHRIST WOULD BE A MUSLIM THAT WOULD ARISE IN “GREATER SYRIA,” AND I’VE ALWAYS BELIEVED THE CATHOLIC (UNIVERSAL) CHURCH IS AN APOSTATE FROM THE TRUE FAITH DELIVERED TO THE FIRST LOCAL CHURCHES OF THE NEW TESTAMENT. I HAVE NO DOUBT THE CATHOLIC OLD WORLD CHURCHES WILL BE PUNISHED FOR CHANGING THE FAITH ONCE DELIVERED TO THE SAINTS. GOD WILL USE ISLAMISTS TO DESTROY THE WOMAN AND HER DAUGHTERS AFTER SHE SUPPORTS ISLAM OVER JEWS UNTIL AN ISLAMIC ANTICHRIST SURROUNDS ISRAEL IN THE NEGEV WILDERNESS.
HE WILL THEN TURN ON THE CATHOLIC CHURCHES IN THE OLD WORLD.
Daniel 7:24,25 – And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings. [25] And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.
Revelation 17:16-18 – And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire. [17] For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled. [18] And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.
I have had quite a few people ask me about a prophecy they have heard about some prophetic buffs making a prediction about the identity of the last Pope. Since I have an interest as to who the next Pope MIGHT be, especially since some very recent articles about St. Malachy’s prophecy, concerning the final Pope before the Second Advent, I will present the appropriate part of his overall prophecy. The information which follows was extracted from the 1913 Edition of the Catholic Encyclopedia.
Malachy made 112 short announcements, which were to indicate some noticeable trait of the next 112 Popes who were to follow Celestine II, who was elected in the year 1130, during the time of Malachy. So far, as others have determined, all of the past Popes have exhibited the general trait of the mystical name assigned to them by Malachy.
I did not hear Malachy’s prophecy until 2003 and, quite frankly, do not have confidence in it, but since it is floating here and there in the “strange and stranger” category I am going to present it just for informational purposes. According to the predictions of Malachy, “The End” will begin with the end of the next Pope, so it is possible the next Pope, Number 112 is to finish “The End.” The last Pope, according to the prophecies of Malachy, is to be “Petrus Romanus,” of whom Malachy states the following:
“In the final persecution of the Holy Roman church there will reign Peter the Roman (Petrus Romanus), who will feed his flock amid tribulations, after which the seven-hilled city will be destroyed and the dreadful judge will judge his people.” Oddly enough, I do believe the seven-hilled city of Rome will indeed be judged and destroyed by the wrath of God, because I do believe it is the great Babylon of Revelation in Chapters 16 to 18.
Revelation 16:19B –And great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath.
Revelation 17:3,9,5,6,16,18 – So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. [9] And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth. [5] And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. [6] And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration. [16] And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire. [17] For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled. [18] And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.
I do not believe Malachy was a prophet, nor do I think his prediction to be by the Spirit of God, nor do I think it is accurate, but it is interesting, and it seems that the spirits not of God do always seem to be quite expert at mingling truth and error, so perhaps there is some truth in it. (See Archive Prophecy Update Number 16)
If the next Pope is an Italian who takes the name “Petrus Romanus,” it will certainly be a pleasant surprise, but I doubt he would take that name. Since Satan is the world’s great religious counterfeiter, anything is possible.
Revelation 18:18,19 – And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city! [19] And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas, that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate.
BEGIN ARCHIVE PROPHECY UPDATE 16 FROM THE YEAR 2001
PROPHECY UPDATE 16
2001
John, in the book of Revelation, used numerous symbols, figures, and types to illustrate both the things of his day, and future events. At times, he used symbols to identify the nations of his day. He was exiled on Patmos, and was in no position to identify Rome in an unfavorable way.
At times John used symbols of his day to identify specific things, and then explained their future roles in the last days. One of these symbols was a woman in chapters 17 and 18. He identified her as existing in his day, and then proceeded to project her future role in the events of the last days. She was identified as a specific city in John’s writings in Revelation 17:18, where John states: “And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.” There was only one city in his day that could possibly fit this description, the great city of Rome.
In Revelation 17:7, John pictures this woman riding on a beast with 7 heads and 10 horns. The beast is emblematic of the Antichrist and his Empire of the last days. The 10 horns are 10 Islamic nations, who were once part of the old Roman Empire, which, at its greatest extent, stretched eastward across Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, northern Sudan, Egypt, northern Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, Turkey, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Iraq, and Iran. Rome is now putting its foot in the stirrups to initially mount the beast with the 10 horns.
The Pope, during his recent visit to Syria, fellowshipped with its top cleric, Sheik Ahmad Kuftaro. They walked together in the ancient Umayyah Mosque in Damascus. This was the first time in history that a pope of Rome had entered a Muslim mosque. The pope was personally welcomed by Syrian president Bashar al-Assad at the Damascus airport. In Assad’s speech, he accused Israel of violating justice, occupying Arab land, and attacking Christian and Muslim holy sites. In the pope’s address, he stated: “It is time to return to the principles of international legality; the banning of acquisition of territory by force.” Although he did not mention Israel by name, this appeared to be a reference to her. I expect closer political, religious, and economic ties to develop between Rome and the Islamic nations. However, in the final analysis, Rome will regret her end times linkage with Islam. After the beast has used the woman to favorably influence the western world to his cause, having no other use for her, he will allow his 10 horns to burn her numerous churches to the ground across all of Islam.
In Revelation 17:16, we are advised that the 10 horns, who represent 10 Islamic kings, “shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.” Most believe it is impossible for any sort of religious approval for Islam to be pursued by the Catholic church. However, when one compares the teachings of Catholics, Muslims, and Jews, one discovers that the Catholic and Islamic faiths, in some areas, are much closer than their connections with the Jewish faith.
Catholics use the Bible. Muslims use the Koran. Jews use the Old Testament. The comparisons between the Islamic and Catholic beliefs, concerning Christ and Mary are as follows: (1) They both believe Christ was born of a virgin named Mary. But the Jews do not. (2) They both believe Christ’s birth was announced to Mary by an Angel. The Jews do not. (3) They both believe Christ was a messenger sent by God. The Jews do not. (4) They both believe that John the Baptist was a messenger sent to announce Jesus as a messenger from God. The Jews do not. (5) They both view the apostles of Jesus as spreading the truth. The Jews do not. The major difference is one of supreme importance. The Catholics believe Jesus is the Son of God. The Muslims, in their Koran, clearly state that Allah, their one God, has decreed he will not have a son.
When John Paul II became the first pope to enter an Islamic mosque, while calling for brotherhood between Christians and Muslims, he unknowingly began to prepare the ride of the woman on the beast. By the time Israel is driven into the Negev wilderness, the woman will support the actions of the beast in recovering Arab lands.
