The Latin language is unique. It is able to be used for both their alphabet as well as their numeric system. With that said, the given name of Pope John Paul II in Latin is, Ioanes Pavlvs Secvndo. The numeric value of that name is as follows...

Since the Pope
became ill this ministry has been inundated with emails asking, "what's
next?" I assume by the question some think I am able to see into the future.
However I would like quench that assumption to make it plain this day, I
am no prophet. I can only share what I see in the Word of God, His prophecy,
as well as Historic Record. Anyone of us can do this if we simply trust the
Lord that wrote the Word, and do the leg work necessary to find the historic
record that verifies the prophecies 100% authentic. Of course this study of
eschatology is not meant to bolster our faith, even though this is inevitable
as this is the cause and effect of reading the Word of God. For it is written
in Romans 10:17 that, "...faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word
of God." I guess you can call that a fringe benefit, or a perk for the
man and woman of God. We are blessed by trying to help others see as we
see. What an awesome God we worship! And yes, I also do the
research so as to better educate those that are too busy or unable to do the
research on their
own. In this age of convenience, is nice to have a place you can go to find
the facts already laid out in advance.
When the news came that the Pope was sick I knew that eventually I would have to comment on his death as well as what I felt was a possible next step for Rome. Many years ago as many of you are already aware I was a Catholic. In fact I was a devout Catholic. I went to mass daily each morning the last two or so years as a Catholic. I was in church for every holy day of obligation. I said the rosary each and every day. I taught Catholic Catechism Doctrine to the children, and I was even a Eucharistic minister for the church.
During my time as a Catholic I also studied Catholic prophecy as much as I could because ever since my youth I had a strong and deep desire to do so. It fascinated me that there was a God that was able to not only predict the future, He was willing to let us know about it. However, being Catholic, this meant when I studied prophecy, I did so in accordance with what the church taught. And that was most assuredly not from the Holy Scripture. In fact, coming from a devout Catholic family, the Bible was thought to be an undesirable book filled with mistakes and doctrines the church was at liberty to change and did in fact change over the years. So I never thought to peer into it's pages because it was thought to be a waste of my time anyway. It wasn't until many years later that I was "forced" into the Bible. I say forced because as a Catholic I certainly didn't want to do it. But everywhere I looked there were people with Bibles in hand telling me I was headed to Hell in a handbasket. So I decided to open a Bible to prove them wrong. Needless to say I found out rather quickly they were right. I found within the pages of the Bible prophecies that were not mixed with man's opinions and massive errors. I found prophecies that matched perfectly with historic record as well. And I found that the prophecies speaking about Antichrist ALL pointed to the Roman Catholic Vatican! Needless to say, it wasn't long after this that I left that church. Of course, I go into a bit more detail as to my decision to leave the church in my book, the Second Window.
So.. what does Rome hope to have happen next? Sad thing is, most of it will happen as they desire. Problem for them is, most of it will be extremely short lived. Jesus will put an end to their so called "Eternal City" far sooner then any of them had ever hoped.
In Catholic prophecy one of the most notable "prophets" of Rome would have to be a man called "Saint" Malachy. Malachy's family name was actually, O'Morgair, and he was born in Armagh, Ireland, in 1094. He was baptized as Maelmhaedhoc (this name Latinized = Malachy) He supposedly put together a list of future popes long before they were ever elected. His work was later published in 1559 by a Benedictine historian name Arnold Wion in his book, Lignum Vitre. In like manner to Nostradamus a proven false prophet of Roman Catholicism, Malachy "hinted" in very generalized terms as to what each pope would do. Now I don't doubt for a minute there was an "outside" influence in this man's prophetic utterances as is the case with most Catholic mystics. For example, Nostradamus used a black mirror or a bowl of water to get his visions. So, like most Catholic prelates or even laymen, they see no wrong in delving into tactics straight from Satanism and his religion formally called the occult for information about the future. Here's a short excerpt from the Catholic Encyclopedia regarding "St. Malachy" and his work...

The most famous and best known prophecies about the popes are those attributed to St. Malachy. In 1139 he went to Rome to give an account of the affairs of his diocese to the pope, Innocent II, who promised him two palliums for the metropolitan Sees of Armagh and Cashel. While at Rome, he received (according to the Abbé Cucherat) the strange vision of the future wherein was unfolded before his mind the long list of illustrious pontiffs who were to rule the Church until the end of time. The same author tells us that St. Malachy gave his manuscript to Innocent II to console him in the midst of his tribulations, and that the document remained unknown in the Roman Archives until its discovery in 1590 (Cucherat, "Proph. de la succession des papes", ch. xv). They were first published by Arnold de Wyon, and ever since there has been much discussion as to whether they are genuine predictions of St. Malachy or forgeries. The silence of 400 years on the part of so many learned authors who had written about the popes, and the silence of St. Bernard especially, who wrote the "Life of St. Malachy", is a strong argument against their authenticity, but it is not conclusive if we adopt Cucherat's theory that they were hidden in the Archives during those 400 years. -Catholic Encyclopedia 1913 ed. |

As you can see, even those Rome has a strong argument against their authenticity they still hold to them as valid because they "assume" to have been laying untouched within the Vatican archives. And they place validity to their admitted argument of its falsehood by suggesting an adoption of Cucherat's theory that they were in fact hidden in the archives for 400 years. No proof is given of that statement of course, just the normal assuming language we see Rome infamous for. Need I mention the assumption of Mary they hold so strongly to without the slightest bit of Scriptural or even historical background.
The main problem here is, this is a church that is
wholly based
on lies and the crafty art of lying. Without getting into literally thousands of instances where
this church has been caught lying in history, as well as modern day. Suffice
it to say, did they not lie about child molestation for years
in our day? And did not the
Pope himself admit on March 12, 2000 in his "Mea Culpa" that the church
lied for the last few hundred years regarding their role in killing 500 million
Christians during the dark ages as well as the modern day slaughter of the Jews?
So, yes.. this is a church of lies and since it is based on such, one cannot
look to it as a source of truth. So, when looking into their so called "prophecies"
be forewarned that this is coming from a church known for it's ability to make
a lie seem truthful. The Catholic Encyclopedia comments further on "St.
Malachy" in such a way that further illustrates their haphazard method
of prophetic deciphering. One I am sure you will find to be 100% unbiblical
to say the least...

These short prophetical announcements, in number 112, indicate some noticeable trait of all future popes from Celestine II, who was elected in the year 1130, until the end of the world. They are enunciated under mystical titles. Those who have undertaken to interpret and explain these symbolical prophecies have succeeded in discovering some trait, allusion, point, or similitude in their application to the individual popes, either as to their country, their name, their coat of arms or insignia, their birth-place, their talent or learning, the title of their cardinalate, the dignities which they held etc. For example, the prophecy concerning Urban VIII is Lilium et Rosa (the lily and the rose); he was a native of Florence and on the arms of Florence figured a fleur-de-lis; he had three bees emblazoned on his escutcheon, and the bees gather honey from the lilies and roses. Again, the name accords often with some remarkable and rare circumstance in the pope's career; thus Peregrinus apostolicus (pilgrim pope), which designates Pius VI, appears to be verified by his journey when pope into Germany, by his long career as pope, and by his expatriation from Rome at the end of his pontificate. -Catholic Encyclopedia 1913 ed. |

Here they are using "assumptions" to make "St. Malachy's" prophetic utterances appear valid. Such generalization can only come from Satan. Fact is, the Word of God states plainly on how to decipher prophecy (see 2 Peter 1:20) as well as to how to test the spirits to see if they are of God. (see 1 John 4:1) This church never uses either method. This is why demonic utterances like this are embraced as truth. This is also why apparitions of "Mary" are accepted by this church. Had they investigated what this "Mary" is saying with what the Word of God says, they would see it's not Mary but actually a demon posing as her. (For proof of that fact, click here) I used this "excerpt" from the Catholic Encyclopedia mainly because of what they said about the so called prediction speaking of a "pilgrim pope." They also stated in the article that Malachy "OFTEN" mentioned "rare circumstance in the pope's career" as a method of defining said pope. Here they said his "pilgrim" name describes a RARE circumstance of walking into a strange country. Truth is, all throughout history there were MANY popes that have walked into countries for the first time in their pontificate, so this extremely vague prediction would work for any of them as well. In fact, this is no different then the generalized predictions you see each and every year in the tabloids around January 1 by dozens of so called psychics. The reason this one seems so much more accurate is because of the way his "comments" are worded in advance. They can be manipulated in a bevy of ways to make them appear authentic. Malachy purposely left the door wide open to allow just about any person on earth to be a so called prophesied fulfillment of his prophecy.
My opinion on the list of "predictions" is that I strongly believe they're no different then any Corporate Manual that outlines its future goals and aspirations down the road. Enron had one, most Governments have them, and even most life insurance salesmen have them. In fact, every resume on earth wouldn't be complete without one! Does this make the writers of these books, resumes, or scratch paper notes that usually take decades to come to fruition prophets? No, of course not. It's just a series of instructions and guidelines designed to reach an agreed upon long or short term goal. Nothing more, nothing less. Truth is, this is exactly how Rome has always operated. Looking to the name they chose for their church proves this their mindset on DAY ONE! They chose to call themselves CATHOLIC. What does that word mean in English?
|
[Middle English catholik, universally accepted, from Old French catholique, from Latin catholicus, universal, from Greek katholikos, from katholou, in general : kat-, kata-, down, along, according to; see cata- + holou(from neuter genitive of holos, whole. See sol- in Indo-European Roots).] -Source: WordNet ® 2.0, © 2003 Princeton University |
The word "CATHOLIC" is defined to mean "UNIVERSAL" in English. Their plans from day one was of global realization. That my friends is directly out of the pages of prophecy regarding Antichrist's desire to destroy Christianity on a global scale and take all the world as it's victim. Praise the Lord the true prophecy of our Lord says that will never happen!
Now according "St. Malachy" there is to be two more popes after John Paul II. Before going further let me say this. Satan is well known to use the same method of attack since day one, he just likes to spice it here and there with a small change here and a twisted truth there. He loves to get the people off guard and in place for a fall they cannot escape from. The "Seven Year Tribulation" lie is a perfect example of this theology. Those that believe in this theory think there will be a "secret Rapture" of the faithful Christians and then those "left behind" will have seven years to get right with God. Their sign to get right of course will be the sudden disappearance of millions upon millions of Christians. They have even come up with fanciful books and movies on this spurious and completely unbiblical doctrine. Problem with that theory is, those that know how to investigate bible prophecy know the Word of God speaks quite descriptively regarding the second coming of Christ, and there is overwhelming evidence within that Word it will NOT be a secret when He returns, nor will there be seven years to get ready for His return. There won't even be seven nano-seconds! However, Satan has conditioned the masses to such a point that they are actually COUNTING ON that seven years religiously! When Jesus comes ALL of them will be caught off guard waiting for a "secret rapture" as their sign. Once Jesus splits that Eastern sky and appears before every eye, they will know their Pastors lied to them and they will know they are lost eternally. For all the Bible verses that never seem to make it to the pulpits today, which in fact go into rather graphic detail about what will and will not happen at the second coming, see these two pages...
So, a word of warning to all. Do NOT trust Roman Catholic prophecy in any way shape or form. If you do have a desire to trust it, then trust it to be wrong! It is designed to prevent your readiness of Christ. In fact, both the seven year trib, and secret rapture theories have already been documented as being fabricated by Roman Catholic Jesuit priests for the sole purpose of scaring the people back into the pews Martin Luther caused to come out during the reformation. I cover that historic fact in both those links I just mentioned.
Getting back to Malachy's so called prophetic utterances, think of it this way... And by the way, this is just one toss of the coin. There are yet other ways to expose and or decipher this movement of Satan. Malachy writes a "course of action" Rome needs to put into play so as to ensure global dominance once again since it lost it when Rome fell. This "course of action" or "future corporate goals and agenda" is supposedly tucked away in the Vatican archives and found some 400 years later. Now I don't doubt for a minute the priest that discovered the list was unaware it was placed in the archives a few days or even a few months prior for him to suddenly "discover." After peering into what he believes to be an authentic 400 year old manuscript he discovers St. Malachy's somewhat alluring ability to predict the popes of the future even after the author's death. So he brings the manuscript to his superiors, who of course already know of it's origin because they placed it there for him to find. It then becomes a blessed document. Now all they need to do is what people have done with Nostradamus's writings of old. They need to make it appear as if he is saying something that pertains to each pope. They need to dig deep and fabricate events as well as idiosyncrasies of each and ever pope through time so as to further validate their fabricated prophetic list. And like the people that embrace the seven year trib lie, many now feel we have only TWO popes left. But... what happens when Jesus arrives during THIS NEXT pontificate, if in fact that's when He comes? Like the seven year trib theory, they are caught off guard. And seeing how human nature is to procrastinate, especially in the area of eternal interests, they are doomed.
Am I saying this will happen.. no I am not, I am merely suggesting this as plausible. For the devil also understands prophecy. In fact he knows it far better then we do as he was created with a superior intelligence.
Let's toss the coin up once more and look at it from this angle. Let's say the prophetic "number" of popes is accurate. BUT, the facts pertaining to each pope are fabricated by the church to make them appear holy and acceptable. For those of us that understand simple Bible doctrine, we know this church is evil. So already we see fabrications running amuck. But how does that alter the course of God's people? How can the devil use this to his advantage?
The Roman Church has 1.2 BILLION souls under their roof right now. And most Protestant denominations are embracing her lies today thanks to the ultimate Roman Catholic commercial, "The Passion of the Christ." How is this a problem? All the fabrications in these so called prophetic utterances by Malachy are BELIEVED by the masses to be truth now simply because their religious leaders preach the pope a holy man! Billy Graham, a once staunch exposer of the Pope now calls him a holy man of God. Even the Seventh-day Adventist church leaders, which of old, boldly and openly proclaimed the Pope antichrist, now proclaim that the prophetic facts concerning same to be worthy of the trash heap! In fact, every protestant denominational leader once said the pope was Antichrist. Yet today all churches call him blessed!
When all the leaders are calling the man of sin holy their followers will do so as well. In so doing, they stay within his evil grasp all the way up to the time prophecy declares the Vatican will burn in judgment! (See Rev. 18:9) That will seal their fate because at the time the Vatican burns the people will have already been judged unworthy of Heaven. (See Rev. 22:11) The plagues have started and their fate eternally sealed. However, if you look in St. Malachy's predictions, this burning of Rome is portrayed as "persecution" upon the church rather then judgment!
What I would like to do now is share the last few "predictions" of the Roman Catholic Saint Malachy so as to ensure a better understanding of what's being shared here...
| Pope No. | Name (Reign) | Motto No | Motto (and explanation) |
| 261 | Pius XI (1922-1939) | 105 | Fides intrepida |
| 262 | Pius XII (1939-1958) | 106 | Pastor angelicus |
| 263 | John XXIII (1958-1963) | 107 | Pastor et Nauta (pastor and marine) Hist.: prior to his election he was patriarch of Venice, a marine city, home of the gondolas |
| 264 | Paul VI (1963-1978) | 108 | Flos florum (flower of flowers) Hist.: his arms displayed three lilies. |
| 265 | John Paul I (1978) | 109 | De medietate Lunae (of the half of the moon) Hist.: Albino Luciani, born in Canale d'Ogardo, diocese of Belluno, (beautiful moon) Elected pope on august 26, his reign lasted about a month, from half a moon to the next half... |
| 266 | John Paul II (1978-2005) | 110 | De labore Solis (of the eclipse of the sun, or from the labour of the sun) Hist.:Karol Wojtyla was born on May 18, 1920 during a solar eclipse. He also comes from behind the former Iron Curtain. He might also be seen to be the fruit of the intercession of the Woman Clothed with the Sun labouring in Revelation 12 (because of his devotion to the Virgin Mary). |

(In extreme persecution, the seat of the Holy Roman Church will be occupied by Peter the Roman, who will feed the sheep through many tribulations, at the term of which the city of seven hills will be destroyed, and the formidable Judge will judge his people. The End.) |

I clipped the list for obvious reasons.(it's huge!) In the list, the grand majority of the "Motto's" were never "defined" of course to prove this even more a fallacy. It also proves it appears even Roman Catholic St. Malachy couldn't get all the facts straight. And the prelates in Rome are at a loss for words on how to decipher his folderol. So instead they choose never to comment on the "motto" their so called Saint puts forth in the majority of cases. But look at the motto definitions of some of the more modern popes listed here. Let's take them point by point shall we?
In the motto of John XXIII Malachy used the words"pastor" and "marine." Is this not an extremely vague "prediction?" Are not all popes considered pastors? And how hard would it be to elect a pope that was either born, visited, or had an office near or in a coastal village to make this prophetic motto appear fulfilled?
In the motto of Paul VI it used the word "flower." So what's to stop the Vatican from placing flowers on this elected pope's papal crest after he's elected? How convenient is this? They can run as wide a deception as is needed here. If pope Paul came from a city that had a flowery name it would be good, if his family name was the name of a flower even better, if he had a craving for having fresh flowers on his breakfast table each day better yet. Problem is, this pope had none of these features, so AFTER his election his papal crest conveniently bears the image of three lilies.
In the motto of John Paul I it spoke of "half of a moon." So immediately the Vatican assumes the prediction speaks of his short term. (This is the pope that was poisoned for suggesting all Mason's leave the Vatican) Looking online using the words "half moon" and "moon phases," I found not a single reference to a term HALF MOON. I found cities named half moon and even ancient sailing vessels with that name, but nary a mention of the actual phases of the moon of this planet or any in our solar system. In fact the U.S. Naval Observatory website spoke of the moon in every phase possible. They mention the new moon, waxing crescent, first quarter, waxing gibbous, full moon, waning gibbous, last quarter, and waning crescent. Still, the Vatican uses the term "half moon" as if it is an actual phase of the moon so as to some how make Malachy appear the prophet. Liars they are and liars they shall ever be I say. They merely lied to not only cover up a murder, but to make their prophet appear truthful as well.
Then of course we come to the motto of John Paul II that states "De labore Solis." Which roughly translated means "from the labor or toil of the Sun." It does NOT say "eclipse" as they assumed. Still, I ask how difficult would it be to generalize this prediction on any Catholic prelate? They claim it's fulfilled merely because Karol Wojtyla (Pronounced ~ Voy-tee-wah) was born during a solar eclipse. I don't have time to research each and every country on earth to see just how many millions of children were born on the same day as Karol Wojtyla, but rest assured the Vatican had literally millions upon millions of choices around the world to choose from to make this prophecy appear fulfilled. Plus, they could have also elected a pope that had a "solar" familiarity in either his name, the town he was born in, his family crest, or even if he had a passion for planting sun flowers. Truth is, the fact he was his mother's SON should be sufficient would it not? My dad was called Sonny by his mother as well as all his Catholic friends. So he could have been installed as Pope just as easy, because Vatican law states any laymen can wear that crown as well. Still, if none of these held true, they could have easily had his papal crest emblazoned with a solar disc as they did for Paul VI with the flowers.
Their attempt to stretch the prediction to the limit is obvious in their assumption that his devotion to Mary the Pagan "Queen of Heaven" (Jer. 7:18) is in anyway a connection to the prophecy in Revelation 12:1. They even used the word "might" in their assumptions here. That my friend is an open and obvious intimation that someone is trying to convince you by their own lack of faith in either their God or their researched data. Someone that truly understands prophecy NEVER uses words like "maybe... perhaps... or could be..." The strange thing here is, they shared their confusion in what appears to be a permanent statement in this document tagged a prophetic utterance. Still, many clamor to their door just as prophecy said they would. (Rev. 13:3)
The next motto is supposedly designed to predict the next pope by the statement "Gloria olivae." Gloria: meaning "halo, nimbus, fame or glory" and Olivae meaning, well I searched all the online Latin and Italian references I could find and couldn't come up with that word mentioned anywhere. However, it's obviously referring to olives. So, this next pope, will they look for one with a craving for olives? From a town with olives as an export? From a family with an olive business? I'm sure they will do all they can to once again convince the masses that Malachy is a prophet to trust. So this next pope's name or origin will be one to watch on this particular aspect.
Ok.. the final prediction and supposed "final" pope. As I said earlier, is this a method to catch the masses off guard? Yes, that is what I believe. Judging by the well documented history of this lying church, one can easily see Satan's hand in all they do. Satan knows his time is short and he also knows that the Vatican will burn before the eyes of man as just deserts for her sins against same. (Revelation 18) The prophecy displays a violent end to this blasphemous church and here we see Satan speaking though one of his false prophets Rome calls St Malachy declaring that the church will continue to "feed the sheep through many tribulations." This gives false hope to those that trust Malachy as well as the lying prelates in this church. Since they THINK this prophecy is authentic, they will also be lead to think they will be safe in the church even during this time of tribulation because they prophecy says the church will continue to "feed the sheep" at that time, intimating it to be of God. This is no different then the seven year tribulation lie. It is getting great numbers of people ready to be caught 100% off guard!
By the way, the mention of the "seven hilled city" in this motto is yet another evidence that this is the church of Antichrist. For it is written quite plainly...
How does prophecy define those seven heads? Look just a few verses lower to find out. The Angel that is showing John this vision actually tells him point blank what those heads actually mean.
Looking into the STRONG'S CONCORDANCE, how is that word "mountains" defined?

STRONG'S # 3735 Mountain: AV - mountain 41, mount 21, hill 3; 65 |
For further confirmation the Vatican does in fact sit on seven hills, see this...

"It is within the city of Rome, called The City on Seven Hills, that the entire area of Vatican State Proper is now confined" The Catholic Encyclopedia, p. 529. Rome is known to be built upon seven hills. Rome was said to have been founded when Romulus and Remus, twin sons of Mars, ended up at the foot of the hill Palatine and founded the city. The other six hills are Capitoline (the seat of government), Quirinal, Viminal, Esquiline, Caelian, and Aventine. -"Geography.about.com" website answers the query... "What are the seven hills of Rome?" "...group of hills on or about which the
ancient city of Rome was built. The original city of Romulus was built upon
Palatine Hill (#1) (Latin: Mons Palatinus). The other hills are the
Capitoline,(#2) Quirinal, (#3) Viminal,(#4)
Esquiline,(#5) Caelian,(#6) and Aventine (#7) (known
respectively in Latin as the Mons Capitolinus, Mons Quirinalis, Mons Viminalis,
Mons Esquilinus, Mons Caelius, and Mons Aventinus)." -ENCYCLOPÆDIA BRITANNICA |

For those of you that are unaware of who that woman is Revelation 17:9 is speaking of, please allow me to share. But before investigating the prophetic symbols that describe who she is, we need to understand that the Word of God tell us how to define symbols in prophecy. 2 Peter 1:20 says that, "...no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation." According to the Word, Christians are told NEVER to give our own opinion of what a prophetic symbol means. This as we just learned is exactly what the Vatican does. Did you see a single line of Scripture defining ANY of what "St. Malachy" said? As Christians, we must allow the Word of God to define it's own symbols. Our private interpretations are useless and easily used to expose us as false prophets as we just saw here. Truth is, there are 404 verses in the book of Revelation. Were you aware that out of those 404 verses, 278 of them carry the bulk of the prophetic message of that book? Did you also know that all 278 of those verses can be found almost word for word in all the other books of the Bible? In other words, THE BIBLE DEFINES ITSELF PERFECTLY! Don't let anyone give you their "opinion" or "interpretation" of what the Bible says. Let the Word define the Word! That's an easy way to expose false teachers. Just hear what they say, then open a Bible and see if what they say matches up with what the Lord says regarding a certain symbol.
So.. what is a woman in prophecy?
In prophecy, a woman is defined as a church...
We also understand the Church of Jesus Christ is considered to be the "Bride of Christ" because of many areas of Scriptures that describe her as such. But let's go a bit further to define just who this woman is shall we? In Revelation 17:3 we see she is sitting on a beast. What does prophecy say a beast represents?
Even in today's world, nations are described as beasts? The USA is seen as an eagle. Russia is likened unto a bear, and China even carries the image of a dragon. Many years ago Daniel was given a great vision about all the nations of the earth till the end of time. In this vision he saw the last beast to be "diverse from all the others." (Daniel 7:19) But how diverse would it be? According to Revelation 17:3 as we have already seen, this beast will have a woman riding it. Since prophecy defines a woman as a church, and a beast as a nation. Is there such an entity described in history? Is there a church and state mixed together as one someplace today? Before answering, we also found out earlier this beast the woman is sitting on has seven heads. So, I ask, is there a place on earth right now that is a CHURCH and a NATION that sits on SEVEN HILLS?
Yes there is. Only one place on earth has ever done this. The Vatican of the Roman Catholic church!
So, I ask you this day, will you trust the lies of a church that has been proven lying to you since day one? Will you trust them when they say they will "feed the sheep through many tribulations?" Or will you look on from afar to see her burning in judgment as TRUE prophecy of Revelation 18 so clearly predicts?

"And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory. And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird. For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies. And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities. Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double. How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow. Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her. And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning, Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come. And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more: The merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble, And cinnamon, and odours, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls of men. And the fruits that thy soul lusted after are departed from thee, and all things which were dainty and goodly are departed from thee, and thou shalt find them no more at all. The merchants of these things, which were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing, And saying, Alas, alas, that great city, that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls! For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off, And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city! 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. Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her. And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all. And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in thee; and no craftsman, of whatsoever craft he be, shall be found any more in thee; and the sound of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in thee; And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived. And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth." -Revelation 18:1-24 |
The prelates of Rome call this city the "Eternal city" as an open and blunt mockery of the prophesied facts of a Mighty and Just God! This city is about to burn before the eyes of man just as prophecy predicted it will. No man on earth can start it, and no man on earth can stop it. The prophecy is sure. Christ is risen! And Christ will come again!
