“SAINT PAUL’S JOKE” it isn’t really a laughing matter… it is what Paul required of HIS Christians … and it is most certainly NOT what is practiced by the average Christian.
With one small exception for the initial convert, it isn’t any different from that which Jesus required… or, what was practiced by Peter and James.
If you think you are a Christian, and Jesus saying that ‘there would be those who would come in his name, but he would not recognize’ does not apply to you … think again.
Pope Francis was born to Italian parents -- who ran from Italy when the Axis powers unified. His father's Italian name is the equivalent of the English Peter ... no immediate record of his being from Rome ... but that connection, in terms of you are who your parents were (as applied to Jewish at the time Francis I was born) might be applied.
The real key is Rome -- it was known as The City of the Seven Hills, and is the only city in antiquity to which that designation was common ... especially in Europe and therefore for Malachy to use. Will the Vatican be destroyed? That is the destruction of Rome in terms of the Rome as it existed in Malachy's age. That would mark the end of the RC Church... at least effectively... especially if the cause was an earthquake whose destruction was complicated by flooding associated with global warming, or a relatively permanent population shift ... the relocation of the Papal Throne to another nation or city.
Well, seems Malachy was thwarted – Pope after benedict XVI is Pope Francis (as in the talking mule).
The new Pope is 76 years old, and the first Jesuit elected to the Papal Throne, … obviously, this should be a fun few years.
One opinion: “It’s a non-Italian, non-European, not a man of the Roman government. It’s an opening to the Third World, a moderate. By taking the name Francis, it means a completely new beginning.”
Watch that “new Beginning” – the prophecy called for an ending… you can’t have a new beginning, unless the old comes to an end.
Of course we cannot force the prophecy, or make the reality fit … but now the bets go down … will this Pope outlive Benedict? If he fails to, then the prophecy still holds…. the Papal throne only passes – legitimately – if, or when, the previous pope dies. But, as it now stands, the 115 voting cardinals had elected the 266th pontiff and the 112th in the Papal list attributed to St. Malachy.
Neat move … the Vatican requests several pre-publication copies of “Saint Paul’s Joke”, then the 111th Pope resigns so that there will immediately be a 112th to thwart prophecy … this Pope is as far removed from a “Peter the Roman” as one can imagine … a New World Pope…son of Italian immigrants to Argentina – born in Buenos Aires 17 December 1936 – he holds a degree in chemistry, was ordained in 1969 … he is also anti-homosexual and is on record as being opposed to both same sex-marriage and the right of gays to adopt.
In many ways, he epitomizes the Christian Christ stated would come in his name, but he would not know … he certainly is in violation of the Judgment Day guideline mandates set down by St. Paul, and described in “Saint Paul’s Joke”.
Now for the obvious connections to Malachy … before anyone else plays this game: St Francis was the son of Pietro Bernardone – or Peter Bernardone – This new Pope Francis I is the son of Italians… but where were his parents from? If Rome … the game is afoot LOL. St. Francis, originally named Giovanni, and that name could also expressed as Jorge.
As a Jesuit, he belongs to a society engaged in evangelization and apostolic ministry in 112 nations on six continents … so the 112th Pope in Malachy’s line belongs to a group that has 112 ministries.
MAN THAT’S REACHING
But I guess we might see a lot of that … Real question? Which shall it be:
1. Will Rome be destroyed by an Earthquake?
2. Will the Vatican be destroyed by Terrorists?
3. Will that cause a destruction of the Vatican and Rome?
4. Will Benedict XVI die, Francis I continue in power for another 12 years … in either event, will the next pope be the Peter that Malachy predicted?
Regardless, we are still working a timetable which marks 2030/34 to 2060/64 as key transitional dates …. in that time, will Global Warming have an affect on events?
YOU CANNOT FORCE PROPHECY
YOU CANNOT FORCE REALITY
BUT YOU STILL HAVE
Neat, a 76 year old elected within 24 hours … what are the odds that he will outlive Benedict XVI ???
Now we need a name … the Latinos have a Pope … he is not Peter of Rome … ?or is he?
He looks like a Jewish Tailor.
The voting has begun and the validity of the Malachy Prophecy draws near to vindication … if the prophecy is based on a living Pope be succeeded by a new Pope.
If this new choice does not rule as Pope under the name PETER, than the Malachy prophecy might still hold validity … for this Pope could die either before, or, reasonably in proximity to, the Death of Benedict XVI … and his successor could be the Peter.
Of course, given that the Vatican has several copies of “Saint Paul’s Joke”, it is possible they seek to invalidate the prophecy … in which case … it is NOT the name Peter, but the destruction and judgment which is to be the critical element …
Could the Church be seeking to evade its destruction by avoiding the name, but invoke an anger, or judgment, that will destroy a major city?
Remember – the very foundation of both the Church, and all of Christianity, is the Davidic Prophecy of a Jewish King of the line of David
It is NOT a “Son of God”, or a birth to a virgin, or even the use of the Solomon Temple blueprint to construct the Sistine Chapel … it is that a Jewish King, and Jewish Law, will be followed throughout the world. No matter how many Yamakas they wear, they negate the prophecy by eating pork… no matter how many symbolic elements they include in their rituals, they negate the prophecy by failing to be circumcised.
“Saint Paul’s Joke”, not Augustine’s fantasy and anti-Semitism!
Black smoke signals no pope, white smoke the beginning of the end – for if the prophecy is false, so is, or might be, the faith founded on it. Only time will tell … and that time falls, according to Sir Isaac Newton, between 2030 and 2064.
Have you noticed the TV series ... "Little People" are no longer relegated to munchkin roles ... we have matured enough to recognize fine actors regardless of their physical stature. Hindu's idea of a Golden Age might really be emerging in the post 21 December 2012 era (or our 21st century) ....
"The pain will be real." President Obama predicted again that the cuts will cost 750,000 jobs and slow growth, and vowed to reach out to senators and representatives in the weeks to come.
That is, half our labor force goes. Of course, if they cut Social Security, we will be in a worse situation. Remember, the GOP tapped Social Security to underwrite their doubling, and redoubling, of the national debt. So what we are paying, for not following the Clinton payoff the debt policy, is enough to stimulate our economy for the next century or so … that is, well past the Baby-Boom passes into history.
Enjo: “Saint Paul’s Joke” … the evangelical GOP MUST destroy this nation, to ensure that the next Pope will reign through a time of Tribulation…. All we need is for his name to be Peter.
