The Prophecy Of Saint Malachy The Soon Coming End of Days



The events of 1978 saw the death of Pope Paul VI, the election and unexpected death of John Paul I, and finally the election of John Paul II. Three Popes in one year propelled the world like a run away train toward the conclusion of a prophecy given by St. Malachy in 1139. The prophecy lists 112 Popes. The last Pope would take the seat of Saint Peter and the world would fall into anarchy. John Paul II was the 110th Pope. The Pope ruling the Holy See today is Benedict XVI, the 111th Pope, and according to the prophecy, the last Pope to rule an intact church and functioning world. The next Pope will not be the Vicar of Christ. He will be the enemy of the church, usurper of the throne and he will be called “Peter of Rome.”

The ominous prophecy has echoed through the centuries for over 870 years:

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 (end) of which the city of seven hills (Rome) will be destroyed, and the formidable Judge will judge his people.)

Saint Malachy’s prophecy foretells the succession of Roman Catholic Popes from Celestine II [1143 AD] to John Paul II's successor, Saint Benidict XVI, who sits in the Chair of Saint Peter today. Malachy wrote that he was describing the pontiffs from Celestine II "...to the end of the world." At the end of the world, Malachy declared that Rome will be destroyed and God will judge his people.   




.....  264
Paul VI (1963-1978)
Motto: 108
1. Flos florum
(Flower of flowers)
Hist.: His arms displayed three lilies.


265
John Paul I (1978)
Motto: 109
1. De medietate Lunæ
(From the midst 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...His month-long reign began with the moon half-full.


266
John Paul II (1978-2005)
Motto: 110
1. 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.


267
Benedict XVI (2005-)
Motto: 111
1. Gloria oliuæ
(Glory of the olive.)
The Benedictine order traditionally said this Pope
would come from their order, since a branch of the Benedictine order is called the Olivetans. St Benedict is said to have prophesied that before the end of the world, a member of his order would be Pope and would triumphantly lead the Church in its fight against evil.
While the Holy Father chose the name "Benedict", this does not seem enough to fulfill the prophecy.
Nor is it clear how Benedict XVI (a Bavarian) is "Glory of the Olives". Since he is said to have remarked in the Conclave after saying he would take the name Benedict that it was partly to honor Benedict XV, a Pope of peace and reconciliation, perhaps Benedict XVI will be a peacemaker in the Church or in the World, and thus carry the olive branch. Since this is an addition to Malachy’s prophecy, is this the Pope who will actually fulfill the 112th prophecy, the actual final prophecy of Malachy?



Pope # 268 is either the Pope now in office, or he is yet to be chosen.
Motto: 112
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.) ....

Deception from Those We Pay to Trust

In past blogs I have discussed the amazing lengths that some authors go to in attempts to appear better than they are. In watching these trends on Amazon the mistreatment of readers emerges as a pastime of some authors. It is true that you cannot please all the people all the time, but it is as true that everyone is entitled to their opinion, even if their opinion is negative toward an author's book. Of late I have seen more and more attacks directed personally and viscously at those who write negative reviews.

It works like this: The reader writes a less than shining review then the comments on their review immediately begin to stack up with personal attacks obviously posted by the author under other names and friends of the author sent to do character assassination. One review will draw 6 to 8 attacks within hours of the post. Most will begin by accusing the reviewer of knowing nothing about the subject they are reviewing. Uninformed, ignorant, and simply wrong will be the beginning themes to the comments. Amazon continues to allow this to happen over and over. If the original reviewer attempts to defend himself or herself the comments get more and more personal and caustic. It seems the most rude person wins the contest of being right in their opinion.

It is reasonable that an author will have an outspoken fan or two, but most defend their favorite author with less than personal insults and attacks toward the reviewer. It is not reasonable that any author should be rewarded for such unethical behavior. The worst part of this activity is that it is occurring more often than not from writers and translators of religious book. These are men and women ask for our trust by presenting themselves as "Scholars" and "religious authorities." Watch for commits connected with negative reviews. If there are multiple comments attacking the reviewer do not reward this type of behavior. Buy another book. Books from such an author cannot be trusted anyway.
