Is Pope Francis "Peter The Roman", The Last Pope?

Article originally written by me on the day of Pope Francis' election on March 13, 2013

There was much anticipation all over the world at the election of the new pope as various prophecies, the most notable one being st.Malachy’s prophecy of the popes, declared him to be the very last pope of the Roman Catholic Church.

At last, today on March 13, 2013, Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio of Argentina was elected Pope Francis I. On the face of it, this election seems to prove St. Malachy wrong as he described this pope as Peter The Roman during whose papacy Rome would be burned with fire and judged, ending with the ominous words, “The End.”

Even though  Pope Francis  was born in Argentina, he is the son of the Italian railway worker according to his biography. It would be interesting to know if he indeed hailed from Rome or not. Regardless of whether he matches the prophecy of the popes or not, I find this election quite spooky for several reasons.

The first one is the fact that on the very evening of the day Pope Benedict XVI publically resigned, the St.Peter’s Basilica in Rome was hit twice by lighting evoking the prophetic words of Jesus recorded in the Gospel of Luke 10: 18, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven.”

Then, his election falls on a 13 day of the 13 year of this century; the number 13 being famously important number in the satanic, masonic, and occult circles. Even adding up the numbers in the date comes to 13, he was also ordained a priest on December 13, which led him on path to becoming the pope.  Then, the white smoke indicating his election rose from a Sistine Chapel precisely on 7: 06 PM Italian time, the numbers again adding up to 13. In the Bible number 13 indicates rebellion from the very first time this number is mentioned in Genesis 14:4, where we read, "Twelve years they served Chedorlaomer, and in the thirteenth year they REBELLED." And not by accident, I believe, the Beast of Revelation is described in chapter 13.

He chose as his Francis as his papal name, after St. Francis of Assisi, who is known for supernatural signs called “stigmata” and having visions of Jesus and Mary as well as being the one who had successful agreements with the Muslims, which might be a hint as to the direction of this papacy. He is also the first Jesuit priest ever elected to be the pope.

Does this mean anything? Are these numbers just coincidences? Personally, I don’t believe in coincidences. As a Bible believing Christian, I know that everything has its meaning. There are the plans that God has for mankind, and there are also the plans of Satan who always does everything possible to try to prevent God’s plans from being fulfilled. In this effort he infiltrates even Christian churches in order to corrupt them from within and The Roman Catholic Church is not only no exception, but really the prime example of it.

Please do not think that I am here criticising or condemning all Roman Catholics, far from it, as I know that there are many faithful followers of Jesus within the Roman Catholic Church. I have Roman Catholic roots myself, but I also recognize that the Roman Catholic Church system does not operate according to God’s design found in the Bible and therefore it is not representing of the real universal(catholic) Church of our Lord Jesus Christ and is described in the book of Revelation as “Mystery Babylon” or “The Great Harlot.”

 According to the Book of Revelation, it is to be destroyed in the last days with fire. Revelation 18:2-9 states:

“Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great!

She has become a dwelling place for demons,

A haunt for every unclean spirit,

A haunt for every unclean bird,

A haunt for every unclean and detestable beast.

 For all nations have drunk the wine of the passion of her sexual immorality,

And the kings of the earth have committed immorality with her,

And the merchants of the earth have grown rich from the power of her luxurious living.”

Then I heard another voice from heaven saying,

“Come out of her, my people,

Lest you take part in her sins,

Lest you share in her plagues;

 For her sins are heaped high as heaven,

And God has remembered her iniquities.

 Pay her back as she herself has paid back others,

And repay her double for her deeds;

Mix a double portion for her in the cup she mixed.

 As she glorified herself and lived in luxury,

So give her a like measure of torment and mourning,

Since in her heart she says,

‘I sit as a queen,

I am no widow,

And mourning I shall never see.’

 For this reason her plagues will come in a single day,

Death and mourning and famine,

And she will be burned up with fire;

For mighty is the Lord God who has judged her.”

 

Notice the emphasis on the “sexual immorality” in this passage of Scripture as the new pope will be dealing with the very problem of sexual immorality among its very leadership, its high ranking clergy. Whether this will be the very last pope still remains to be seen, but we should all keep in mind that unlike other prophecies, those written in the Bible will always come true. We should never put trust in human beings for they are all without any exception fallible. Only God Himself is infallible and only He deserves the title of the Holy Father. To call any man by this title is nothing short of blasphemy according to the Lord Jesus Himself who thus exhorted us, "And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, even Christ.But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant. And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.""( Matthew 23:9-12)

 

Five Years To Jerusalem 2018 & The Four Blood Moons

Article originally published by me on May 15, 2013:

Much has changed in the geo-political landscape of Middle East since my last update article in this series. As Israel just celebrated their 65 th anniversary of national rebirth, the civilian death toll in Syria due to civil war in that country continues to rise with the number of the dead said to have crossed 100,000 people already. And while the fighting there is getting more brutal with the reported use of chemical weapons, Russia has announced yet another shipment of arms to the Assad regime and Iran keeps arming its Hezbollah fighters helping the Assad forces as well.

 

So, we can clearly see the alliances predicted thousands of years ago by Hebrew prophet Ezekiel forming right before our very eyes. Russia being described there by the ancient names of people inhabiting their land as Magog with its ruthless leader called Gog. According to chapters 38 and 39 of the Book of Ezekiel, Gog is going to lead a great army complied of the soldiers from today’s Muslim nations including Iran, Libya, and Turkey. They are said to come against Israel from the North through what is now modern day Syria.

 

The reason for their attack is to take spoils and “riches.” With Israel about to become a major natural gas supplier to Europe, this scenario is becoming more and more probable as it is no secret that Russia is in the process of building their energy empire and seeking to control as much gas and oil trade as possible. Israel is therefore about to become their rival and that is enough reason for Russia to go to war against it.

 

If they are planning to enter Israel through Syria, then that would explain why both Russia and Iran keep supporting the Assad regime against the mostly Sunni rebels despite all the bloodshed it continues to cause and this brings us to the grave danger it puts the United States in.

 

In order for them to fulfill their plan they know that they must neutralize United States, which makes Iran threats of activating sleeper terror groups in America all the more chilling, the recent Boston bombing being just the beginning of many similar terror attacks about to be unleashed.

 

Imagine the level of chaos and panic a series of such attacks all across the country would create and how much it would cost the United States to bring the perpetrators to justice. We saw it in Boston as the entire city was on lock down as police as well as military tried to apprehend only two suspects. How much more it would take if there were more such attacks carried out about the same time all over the nation?

 

So, if the United States went into chaos and Europe was tied down with its own financial difficulties, who would be left then to stop Russian- Islamic all out war against Israel? There would be no one.  That is why such a scenario is a very real possibility and United States’ leadership would be wise not to ignore Iranian threats and not count on Russia helping to end the Syrian crisis any time soon.

 

But there is also hope in all these seemingly hopeless circumstances because if prophet Ezekiel was right, then God Himself will step in to defeat the wicked plans of Gog and his armies, which will change the political landscape in the Middle East for many years to come and potentially bring peace at least for a long while to Middle East. Could it be the major event of 2018?

 

It is very possible, but it might even come to pass as soon as 2014-2015. There are signs both in heavens and on earth happening in our own times as the ancient Prophets and even Jesus had predicted. He foretold that in the “last days” sun will become black as sackcloth and the moon will not give its light. Many criticized that prediction as very vague as there are many solar and lunar eclipses happening periodically. But what if Jesus was not talking about regular solar and lunar eclipses?

 

We must remember that Jesus was Jewish and His disciples were as well. In 2014 and 2015, we will witness a very rare astronomical events from the Jewish perspective because there will be two total lunar eclipses in 2014 and two more total lunar eclipses in 2015 all falling on the major Jewish feasts with a total solar eclipse in the middle of them also falling on the Jewish feast. This particular configuration is called the tetrad or the four blood moons and it will happen only once in this century and indeed in this millennium, and will not be repeated again  in this millennium according to NASA records that show lunar eclipses all the way to the year 3000.

 

Consider the events that preceded the last two tetrads that fell on Jewish feasts. In 1967 and 1968 ( the six day war and unification of Jerusalem), as well as 1949 and 1950 ( the establishment of modern states of Israel following its rebirth in 1948), so could we then expect something major again in 2014-2015? I would not be surprised.

Six Years to Jerusalem 2018

An update to my first article in this series published on May 14, 2012 :

Today marks 64 years since Israel became a nation again on May 14, 1948 and there is only 6 years left until the 70th anniversary of Israel’s rebirth in the year 2018. As I shared in my article, The Countdown to Jerusalem 2018, written back in 2008 a very significant historic event is bound to take place in Jerusalem that year.

In it, I also predicted that 2008 will mark the beginning of the countdown with a series of political, economic, as well as natural disaster events that will intensify with each year as we approach 2018. I wrote about coming global economic depression, which actually began with what the media dubbed “The Great Recession” later that same year. It never really ended. The so-called “recovery” was nothing more than just a short-term bubble created by stimulus money that most governments have thrown at it and we can clearly see now that it did not really change anything for the better.

United States is getting deeper in debt, their dollar is still losing value, and unemployment is still a growing problem, not to mention the political struggle over the direction the country should take as its next presidential election approaches. The European Union is in the middle of a very serious economical crisis as well as its major economies such as Italy and France face deep austerity measures to avoid near-default situations that Greece is facing.

The global economy also still feels the pain of devastation caused by the mega-earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear crisis that devastated Japan in 2011. There is anxiety and uncertainty related to massive political upheavals taking place in the Middle East as well as a nuclear threat coming from Iran, which is closer than ever from becoming a nuclear power. And the fact that openly authoritarian China and Russia are backing Iran up does not help either. It seems that the world is more politically divided than ever, even within individual countries on the lines of left versus right, more spending versus austerity, and in the case of United States even along racial lines.

Even the sun is becoming more violent as it gets deeper into its solar maximum faze with more sunspots, solar flares, storms, and even solar tornadoes raging on its surface, which in turn affects the weather patterns and seismic activity on earth. We can only expect more mega earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, draughts, floods, crops failures, and deepening food crises to follow.

These are very difficult times for many, but not a reason to despair. Knowing what is to come can help us to prepare both physically and spiritually. We all must be alert against the deception as some will try to use crisis in order to bring the people who are still free into bondage. Do not believe everything that you see in the mainstream media. More than ever before pray and think for yourself. Do not follow blindly your religious leaders and politicians, but judge whether their words match their actions. There is no doubt that we are living in times predicted by Jesus in the Gospel of Matthew chapter 24 and He specifically warned us not to be deceived.

Major religious and political leaders will begin to work together to convince all people that they must give up all their differences, and most of their freedoms in order to achieve world peace and save mankind form self destruction. It will sound very good to our human intellect and many will fall for it with disastrous consequences, but to quote the Scriptures, “Those who know their God will be strong and will carry out great exploits.”

The Countdown To Jerusalem 2018

There is a growing anxiety about the events that many are predicting will take place in 2012. From the shift of the poles and the end of our species to the shift in consciousness that will take us to the new age of sustainable world under one world government, but many ignore all that the Bible has to say about the end times.

The Bible is the ultimate book of prophecy that has a stunning accuracy. We continue to watch the fulfillment of its predictions. Israel is a biblical prophetic clock and just as predicted thousands of years ago it is a centre piece right now on the world stage. We see it on the news almost every single day.  Barack Obama said that there will be no world peace until Israeli-Palestinian conflict is resolved and he promised to deliver it as a part of  his politics of "Change".
While Israel and the rest of the world long for that very peace, the world's stage is set for a series of very dramatic events that will bring about peace, but of a very different nature from the one everyone is expecting.

I'm not prophesying the end of the world here; however, it will be the end of the present world order. The events I talk about have been written in advance in the Bible.
And before you dismiss me as some fundamentalist freak , I want to tell you that what will follow is not preached or shared by anyone else, so read it even if you don't consider the Bible credible.
It came to me and my husband as an observation of something in Scriptures that most if not all Bible students miss. We believe that the state of Israel is a prophetic clock and everything that happens to it has been foretold with incredible details.

We noticed that number seventy is a specific number assigned to Israel only. There were seventy members of Jacob's family who went to Egypt. Moses appointed seventy elders for Israel. The duration of Babylonian captivity was exactly seventy years. Daniel prophesied seventy prophetic weeks for Israel. It was in year seventy of present era that the Jewish temple was destroyed and Jewish people scattered all over the world for almost 2000 years.
It is  logical, then, to expect something very significant to happen seventy years from the time of Israel's rebirth. This year was marked by sixtieth anniversary of this event and this is the countdown I'm talking to you about.

 

What exactly will happen in 2018? I don't know, but I do know that whatever this event will be, it will bring about the second coming of Yeshua  the Messiah who will come down from heavens with great power and glory to establish His 1000 years reign on the earth from Jerusalem. He is the answer to the problems of humanity.

I'm not saying that He will for sure come in 2018, though He might, but what will take place seventy years from Israel's rebirth for sure will hasten His coming. Between now and that time, we can expect millions of people dying in more and more famines, natural disasters,  and wars. There will be economic depression and even cosmic disturbances along with the release of supernatural miracle working power of God, as well as demonic counterfeits of it.

If you never studied the Bible, this is good time to begin for we might not have the Bible available, at least legally, for very much longer. Jesus said to us 2000 years ago to watch the fig tree. The fig tree is Israel and it has been budding for the past sixty years. He said that the generation who will see it happen will not pass away until all the things He has predicted in the Gospel of Matthew chapter twenty four will come to pass.  Study this and make sure you belong to Him. When you see all of this happening, get ready for what is coming.

For it will not be easy for the followers of Jesus under the world government pictured in the book of Daniel as the ten toes. It will be the last world empire and it is set to begin to be established by the end of 2012. Eventually, it will be ruled by one man, the Antichrist , who will be worshipped as divine and all who  oppose him will be persecuted, but at the end Jesus will end his reign and He will save the world. Nobody else can do that.

Introduction

Looking at the world events that are unfolding right now all around the globe, there is no doubt that we are living in a period called "the last days" in the Bible or "the end times "in the popular culture.

This blog is about finding out together where we are on God's prophetic time clock based on the analyses of Bible prophecies as compared to the world events of taking place in our times.

Many of us who are familiar with the Bible feel as if we were reading present day headlines when reading the prophecies written therein thousands of years ago. They are there not to scare us, but to show us that ultimately no matter what happens, God is in control, and He knows the end from the beginning.

The signs of the end of this age are painful and terrifying at times, but the good news is that this is not the end of the world,  nor the end of humanity for all those who will make the right decision.

You are welcome to join me and many others who have chosen to follow Jesus in these difficult times. May we all grow together in faith and be ready for both the trials and glorious times still ahead of us as we study the Bible and see it being fulfilled in front of our very eyes.
