The Last Pope

[teleiosis]

Prediction from 180 years ago.

____________________________

Gregory XVI (1831-1846)

De balneis hetruriæ (bath of Etruria)

Hist.: prior to his election he was member of an order founded by Saint Romuald, at Balneo, in Etruria, present day Toscany.
____________________________

Pius IX (1846-1878)

Crux de cruce (Cross of Crosses)

Hist.ius XI was the last Pope to reign over the Papal States (the middle third of what is today Italy). He ended up being a prisoner of the Vatican, never venturing outside Vatican City. A much heavier burden than his predecessors.
____________________________

Leo XIII (1878-1903)

Lumen in cælo (Light in the Heavens)

Hist.: Leo XIII wrote encyclicals on Catholic social teaching that were still being digested 100 years later. He added considerably to theology.
____________________________

St. Pius X (1903-1914)

Ignis ardens (ardent fire)

Hist.: The Pope had great personal piety and achieved a number of important reforms in the devotional and liturgical life of priests and laypeople.
____________________________

Benedict XV (1914-1922)

Religio depopulata (Religion laid waste)

Hist.: This Pope reigned during the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia which store the establishment of Communism.
____________________________

Pius XI (1922-1939)

Fides intrepida (Intrepid faith)

Hist.: This Pope stood up to Fascist and Communist forces lining up against him in the lead up to World War II.
____________________________

Pius XII (1939-1958)

Pastor angelicus (Angelic Shepherd)

Hist.: This Pope was very mystical, and is believed to have received visions. People would kneel when they received telephone calls from him. His encyclicals add enormously to the understanding of Catholic beliefs (even if they are now overlooked because of focus on the Second Vatican Council, which occurred so soon after his reign).
____________________________

John XXIII (1958-1963)

Pastor et Nauta (pastor and marine)

Hist.: prior to his election he was patriarch of Venice, a marine city, home of the gondolas
____________________________

Paul VI (1963-1978)

Flos florum (flower of flowers)

Hist.: his arms displayed three lilies.
____________________________

John Paul I (1978)

De medietate Lunæ (of the half of the moon)

Hist.: Albino Luciani, born in Canale d'Agardo, diocese of Belluno, (beautiful moon) Elected pope on August 26, his reign lasted about a month,
from half a moon to the next half...
____________________________

John Paul II (1978-2005)

De labore Solis (of the eclipse of the sun, or from the labor 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 (the East, where the Sun rises). He might also be seen to be the fruit of the intercession of the Woman Clothed with the Sun laboring in Revelation 12 (because of his devotion to the Virgin Mary). His Funeral occurred on 8 April, 2005 when there was a solar eclipse visible in the Americas.

In persecutione extrema S.R.E. sedebit Petrus Romanus, qui pascet oves in multis tribulationibus: quibus transactis civitas septicollis diruetur, & Judex tremêdus judicabit populum suum. Finis.

(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.)

There was a thread like this already on this subject, so it may end up merged.

I'm wondering myself what will happen here --- Maybe Peter Turkson will get it? And is this last pope the false prophet or simply the last one before the real false prophet stands up and takes over?

Along the lines of biblical prophecy, another "institution" I watch for is the British Throne. I know the Queen will never abdicate, so for the end-times throne to be in position I'm wondering if she will get ill or something happen so that someone will run things in her stead?

And speaking of Israel, one can look to the other Israelites, the Jews in the land of Palestine, and watch for them to build an end time temple. They have everything ready to go once they get the green light.

Also, one can see the nations taking formation, specifically the nations of the King of the South mentioned in Daniel. We're not there yet, but things are taking shape. I can see it.

The King of the South: Well it ain't Osama. Try the Muslim Brotherhood. They are uniting the Muslim/Arab nations south of Israel.

With the re-election of Obama, we're well on our way to forming a cabal with socialist Europe and communist/capitalist Russia.

The ten-Kings are not Kings over existing nations according to Jesus through John in Revelation, but become Kings when the fourth terrible beast is formed - sort of like how twelve "ministers" act as Kings in the EU over its 25 member nations. So joining America, Russia and the EU into a "Federation" of nations, and having a "body" like the EU with ten ministers over it - is well on its way for the emergence of the King of the North from within its ranks. To be sure, there are a lot of politicians who would love to be the anti-Christ, King of the North as this point... they are that evil.

This last Pope involves the extreme tribulation of the Great Tribulation. The one 'seven' hasn't begun, but the players are on the field. In "feeding the sheep," he should be one of the Elect as he would be following Peter's command from Jesus. Still, the RCC is riding the beast of Europe, and as prophesied, that beast/dragon will turn on the RCC. That would make this last Pope an enemy of the satanic, and thus a friend to us even if we disagree with the tenets of the RCC.


P.S. As to "body," it is important that is exactly how the third beast of Daniel 7 is depicted in the make-up of the fourth terrible beast/dragon in Rev 13:2 (which is possessed with an evil spirit in Rev 16:13-14).

The beasts of Daniel 7 are not the same as the Kingdoms of Daniel 2 despite what the commentaries say. (1.) In Daniel 7:3, all four beasts arise together, while the Kingdoms are sequential. (2.) When the fourth is destroyed - decapitated as it were with the capture of the anti-Christ and the false prophet at Armageddon - the three previous beasts live for "awhile" in Dan 7:12, which in turn factors in the additional 30 and 45 day time periods of Dan 12:11-12.
