Anitichrist Three:

 The previous two posts on the Roman church should be titled Antichrist One and Two but I can't go back and change them now.  This one is a continuation of the theme.


H Grattan Guinness refers to the current most popular end times ceneario as Futurism, the one we call the Pre Tribulation Rapture scenario.  I'm going to call it Futurism from now one just because it is a shorter twerm and is clear enough.    


I've already objected to the part of Futurism that expects the final Antichrist to suddenly be revealed at the very end while up until that time we won't have  any idea of his identity.  That is exactly the scenario Guinness is rejecting as an invention of the Roman Church to obscrure its own iudentity as the system of the papal Antichrist.   


The main objection to the idea of the papacy as the Antichrist has been that he is to be an individual who rules at the ery end, but this is easy enough to answer .  The Caesars were ann individuals and yet all aesar, so is the Pope annll individuals and yet all Pope.  There can be a final individual Pope who is the final Antichrist and that is the position I'm taking.  Guineness dismisses the whole futuris scenario however, he puts eerything in the past.  The Popes are right now the Antichrist and he isn't looking for a future individual Antichrist apparently.   He scoffs at the idea of teh Seventieth week of Daniel too, and arues that the numbers that sound so clearly like three and a half years written in various ways are really to be understood as the twelve hundred and sixty years of the rule of the Roman Church in the Middle Ages.  


All that just eems strained and false to me.   The seventieth week of Dainiel is a deinitely determined time period that is yet future.  I don't see how that can be so easily dismissed.   The seenty weeks are divided y sections in the prophecy itself, and it is sixty nine weks to the Sunday on whih Jesus rode into Jerousalem on the donkey.  That leaves a week of years that so far has no fulfillment.   The tiribulation period Jesus identifies in Matthew 24 however seems to fit right in there, the seventieth week being the last week of the Daniel prophecy, arriving at the reelation of the Messiah who brings the transgressions to a close and establishes eternal righteousness, as the prophecy says.  Jesus identities the great tribulation as occurring just before the EWndj:  "And then the end will come"  so the fit is a good one.


Sixty nine weeks to the crucifixion, when the Messiah is "cut off" as the Daniel prophecy puts it, then another week of years to the finishing of whe whole history of redemption.


Certainly it is not finished yet and the Antichrist is still quite visiblee in a position of international influence but no longer the ruler of the wrold as he was in the MIddle Ages.  But that could change quite suddenly and  he step back into the role as leader of teh reconsittuted Roman Embpire which is now the Roman Church as it was when he ruled over the so called Holy Roman Empire.  


So some of the futuris scenario is probably true enough still.  They have the identity of the Antichirst all rwrong and that's a big  part of it, but Guinessnness is also wrotng to reduce most of the book of revelation to sybolism that has already occurred in the past.  Jesus has not yet come, the transgression is not yet finished, the Antichrist is not ruling the world at the momenmt and so on.  That is all yet to come.


It's sad to see thousands upon thousands of Catholics in Europe flocking to see the election of a new Pope, as they did just a couple moneths ago.  The y stand in front of the ... St. Peter's as it's called  I'm not sure about those things...  but they are standing there reciting their repectitituve prayers with their rosaries and being all excited about the revelatio nof this new leader of the Roman Church who is in realtiy the leader of the deayh of the wrold.    American Catholics  don't rep[udiate the ope either.  He's come to America even to our Congress, what a horror of anabomination that is.  This is a Protestant nation.  All our successes, propsperity, freedoms, come from our Protestant heritage, which in its true essence opposes Catholicism, and yet today few Proptestants have ny idea of any of that.  And Catholics blindly revere their "church" and nobody opposes them any more.   All those pagan things that characterize it just get ignored somewhow.  They are contrary to Christian ity  and yet nobody seems to notice.  Bill Cunninham was going to go to his Romaist church to light a candle over some political situation or other, I forget.  Lgihting cancdles is just a papgan superstittuion, contrary to Christianity.  Cunninham is a solid American patriot it seems to me, but he's in thrall to the false Church and that's sad, for him and for America because  a patriot in thrall to the system of the Anitchrist is certainly not a good thing for the country.  Samew with Dan Bongino.  Many Catholics in American politicis here and there, in office or as talk show hosts and so on.  Good patriots most of them, at least the ocnservatives are, buyt they don't see the problems  that come with their allegiance to the anticChriustian and AntiAmerican Church oif Roe.   Nor do most Protestant though.  


jMark Levil just came out with a new book, On Power, and I'm going to get through my Alexa setup free today as an audio book.  I'm sure he does a great job identifying the power threats from the Left, Maarxism, and naming everybody who is part of it, bugt of course he doesn't know a thing about the Roman Church, which there is reason to believe is the rock bottom power behind it all in the end.    Chris Pinto has a film out called American Jesuits that I haven't been able to see yet, and he has a lot of good information about the dangers of the Roman Church in American politicis and indeed the whole political situation of the whole worldk,, as really the root of the Globalist agendy despite their ability to fly under the radar so cleverly nobody sees it without making a huge effortt.  


I was very idsappointed to find out that J D Vance became a Catholikfcc.  Well, they have good PR.   And they aren't killing people out in the open these days, only in the secret places of the world, yes it is still going on just not out in the open.    They have good PR now, sad to say, we have no John Adamses to warn us against them.  Nboodhyto tell the Catholics "get out of her, My people.    I too was attracted to them through the mystics like teresa of Avila and John of the Cross who teach a true love of God if you aren't sensitized to their little Romanisms that are a fly in the ointment if you know how to recognize them.  I just loved their love of God.  Then Karl Keathing said the Pope is the head of the Church and I knew that was wrong andthe Lord took me to the scripture passages where it says He is the head of the CHurch and that was the end of that for me.  But people who have no knowledge of anything about any of this, such as DjJD Vance, can still be seduced by them.    


Will Leo be the final Antichrist?  I don't know.  I thought Francis was a sure thing because of so many weird signs that stuck to him, but he wasn't and I don't know if Leo will be either.  There could yet be another one to come.  Or maybe he will be.  We're close enough.    Look for a covenant with Israel for seven years.  The last half of those seven years adds up to twelve hudnred and sixty days or foty two months or three and a half years of time, times and half a time.   That's when the Great Tribulation happens if the futurist scenrio is right about that much aty leas.t

tHE rOMANIST gLOBAL tHREAT cONTINUED

 tHE BOOK, rOMANISM AND THE rEFORMATION BY h gRATTAN gUINESS IS PACKED WITH NECESSARY FACTS ABOUT THE rtOMAN cHURCH, SO THAT  YOU GET THE PERSPECTIVE THAT CAN IMMUNIZE YOU AGAINST ANY ATTRACTIONS IT MAY HAE FOR YOU.   i WAS ATTRACTED TO IT THROUGH THE cATHOLIC MYSTICS WHEN i WAS IN THE PROECESS OF BECOMING A cHRISTIAN BACK IN THE EIGHTIES.  i THINK THE SPELL WAS BROKEN WHEN i READ A BOOK BY kARL kEATING, a cATHOLI  SPOLOGIST, WHERE HE CALLS THE pOPE THE HEAD OF THE cHURCH AND THAT JUST DIDN'T SIT RIGHT.  sOON AFTER THAT THE lORD RESCUED ME FROM THAT IDEA AND FROM THE rOMANISMT SEDUCTION ALTOGETHER i THINK BY CAUSING ME TO OPEN THE bIBLE TO BOTH THE BPASSAGES IN THE nEW tESTAMENT WHICH CALL cHRIST THE hEAD OF THE cHURCH, IN RAPID SUCCESSION, AND i WASN'T EVEN PLAYING THAT GAME OF TRYING TO GET A MAESSAGE BY OPINIONG IT MYSELF, i JUST OPENED IT AND THERE IT WAS, AND i FLIPPED SOME PAGES AND THERE IT WAS AGAIN.  cHRIST IS THE hEAD OF TEH cHURCH.  tHE pOPE IS A USURPER OF THAT ROLE AND THAT TITLE.


aND gUINESS LAYS OUT ALL THE WAYS THE pOPE USURPSA THE TITLES AND FROLES OF gOD AND TAKES POWERS OVER KINGS AND EVERYBODY ELSE THAT MADE THE PAPACY THE RULER OF THE WORLD DUREING THE LATE MIDDLE AGES, JUST BEFORE THE rEFORMATION.   tHEY ALSO WROTE LAWS THAT SEALED THE DOOM OF EVERYBODY UNDER THEIR USURPED GOVERNMENT.  sOME OF IT REMINDS OME OF THE WAYS THE lEFT IN aMERICA HAS BEEN MANIPULATING LAW TO SERVE ITSELF RECENTLY.  aND SOME OF IT REMINDS ME OF THE GLOBAL AMBITIONS OF iSLAM, THE JIHADISTS, SUCH AS THE RULAE THE pOPE CAME UP WITH THAT BLESSED ANYONE WHO MURDERED A SO CALLED HERETIC WITH THE PROMIST OF IMMEDIATE ACCESS TO HEAVEN.  lIKE JINADIS WHO EXPECT TO GO TO A CARNAL PARADISE FOR KILLING jEWS OR cHRISTIANS OR INDEED ANY NONmUSLIM.   tHERE IS NOTHING cHRISTIAN ABOUT ANYON OF THIS.  


bUT PEOPLE DON'T KNOW ABOU TIT.  tHAT'S WHY YOU HAVE TO READ BOOKS LIKE THIS ONE Y gUINNESS.  aND YOU NEED TO UNDERSTAND THAT IT IS NOT JUST A THING OF THE PAST.  aLL THESE CLAIMS TO RIGHTS OVER EVERYONE ARE STILL ON THE BOOKS, THEY'VE NEVER BEEN RESCINDED, THERE HAD NEVER BEEN AN APOLOGY FOR THEIR MURDERS AND TORTURES AND PERSECUTIONS, THEY CONSIDER IT STILL TO BE THEIR RIGHT THOUGH YOU WON'T HEAR IT SAID OUT LOUD.  aND JUST AS WITH iSLAM, THEY LIE LOW AS LONG AS THEY ARE NOT IN POWER BUT IF THEY EVER GET POWER AGAIN ALL THESE CLAIMS TO RIGHTFUL DOMINANCE OVER ALL HUMAN BEINGS WILL RESURFACE.  aND IF THERE IS ANYTHING TO SOINE PARTS OF THE FUURIST END TIMES CENARIO, ALL THAT COULD BE THE GREAT TRIBULATION OF THE BOOK OF rEVELATION.  a REVIVAL OF THE inQUISITION.     aND  gUINESSNNESS 


aND gUINNESS SHOWS THE iNQUISITION TO BE AS EVIL AND BLOODY AS ANYTHING iSLAM COMES UP WITH .  iSLAM IS JUST NOT SYSTEMATIC ABOUT IT AS THE rOMAN chURCH IS, SYSTEMAITIC, CALCULATIED, JUSTIFIED AS FOR THE GOOD OF THE VISICTIM EVEN.     


i THINK WHAT IS NEEDED IS A CONDENSED VESARSION OF gUINNESS' BOOK TO MAKE IT MORE ACCESSIBLE TO THE AVERAGE READER.  iT'S TOO LONG AND TOO DETAILED AS IT IS.  iT COULD PROBABLY BE CUT DOWN EASILY TO A THIRD OF ITS SIZE OR EVEN LESS.  bUT THERE ARE PLENTY OF OTHER BOOKS ON THE SUBJECT YHAT  ARE BGOOD TOO.   tHE TOME THE hISTORY OF rOMANISM BY dOWLING IS THE MAIN ONE.    tHE PAGAN LNATURE OF THE ORGANIZATION IS MADE VERY CLEAR IN ALL THESE SOURCES.  tHE rOMANISTS RETAIN THE OUTLINES OF THE GOSPEL SO THAT PEOPLE ARE EASILY FOOLED BY IT, AND IT'S EVEN POSSIBLE FOR SOME TO BE SAVED IN THAT SYSTEM IF THEY STICK TO JUST THOSE PARTS OF THEIR TEACHINGS, WHICH THE rEFORMERS THOUGHT WAS POSSIBLE.  i DON'T KNOW, i HAVE TO TRUST THE rEOFRMERS ABOUT SOMETHING LIKE THAT.    bUT SCRIPTURE IS CLEAR.  eVEN IF IT'S POSSIBLE TO BE SAVED WITHIN THE SYSTEM, THE SYSTEM ITSELF IS EVIL, AND gOD SAYS "cOME OUT OF HER, MY PEOPLE."  iF YOU ARE HIS, YOU  DON'T BELONG THERE.


sO IT'S HORRIFYING TO KNOW ALL THIS AND SEE THE SO CALLED pROTESTANT CHURCHES EMBRACING cATHOLICISM AS JUST ANOTHER DENOMINATION.  i STILL BELIEVE IN ENOUGH OF THE FUTURIST SCHATOLOGY TO BELIVE THAT THE tRIBULTION jESUS TAKELKED OF IN mATTHEW 24 IS STILL ON THE PROPHETIC CALENDAR AND IS SYNONYMOUS WITH THE EVENTS OF THE bOOK OF rEVELATION, IN WHICH i BELIVE THE sEVENTIETH wEEK OF dANEIL BEGINS WITH THE OPENING OF THE sEVWNTH sEAL IN rVELATION eIGHT.  i COULD CHANGE MY MIND ABOUT ANY OF THIS BUT gUINNESS' SYMBOLIZING WAY OF DEALING WITH rEVELATION IS NOT AT ALL CONVINCING, IN FACT IT STRIKES ME AS LUDICROUS.   hI hE'S GOOD AT REVEALING THE rOMAN cHURCH BUT HIS TAKE ON PROPHECY DOESN'T CUT IT.  


tHERE ARE  CONNECTIONS BETWEEN rOMANISM, ESESPECIALLY THE jESUITS, AND mARXISM, SOCIALISM, coMMUNISM, TOO.  cHRIS pINTO IS A GREAT SOURCE OF THAT INFORMATION.  aDULLAM fILMS, nOISE OF THUNDER rADIO.    pROTESTANTIMS HELD ON TO THE TRUTH ABOUT rOMANISM PRETTY MUCH UP UNTIL THE BEGINNING OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY AND THEN ITS OWN PROPAGANDA SEEMS TO HAVE ECLIPSED THAT KNOWDLEDGE IN NOT JUST THE SCHURCHES BUYT THE SECULAR WORLD TOO WHERE IT WAS ALSO VAGUELY RECOGNIZED UP UNTIL RECENTLY.    jOHN aDAMS HAD A LOT TO SAY ABOUT THE EVILS OF THE jESUITS AND THEIUR DANGERS TO THE NATION.  nONE OF THAT IS LEFT IN TODAY'S WORLD.  tHAT MAKES US SITTING DUCKS.    tHEY ARE OH SO GOOD AT FLYING UNDER THE RADAR.  iSLAM IS LOUDER AND MAKES A GOOD DISTRACTION FOR THEM TOO.   bUT THEY ARE TWINS IN THEIR SATANIC INSPIRATION IF YOU TAKE THE TIME TOO LOOK CAREFULLY .   


i GET WHAT gUIONNESS IS ASAYING ABOUT HOW FUTURISM IS A CLOAK FOR rOMANISM, BUT i STILL HOLD TO SOME OF IT.  tHE MAIN THING HE HAS TO SAY, HOWEVER, i ALREADY ACCEPTED LONG AGO, THAT THE PAPACY IS THE aNTICHRIST AND NOT SOME FUTURRE INDIVIDUAL WHO RISES FROM OBSCURITY TO SUDDEN POWER.   tHE PAPACY HAS POWER ALREADY CARVED OUT FOR IT.  iT IS THE HEAD OF A SOVEREIGN STATE AND IT ONCE RULED THE WORLD.  rESUMING ITS OLD IDENTITY WOULDN'T TAKE TOO MUCH.  tHE pOPE ALREAYD HAS RWORLD STANDING ANYWAY.  tHE pOPES ARE IN EVERY INTERNATIONSAL MOVEMENT.  tIME MATTERS IN THE SCENARIO IF WE ARE AS CLOSE TO THE eND AS SO MANY FEEL WE ARE, AND A SINGLE ANTICHRIST RISING FROM OBSCURITY COULDN'T PUT TOGETHER HIS GOVENMENT IN SUCH A SHORT TIME, BUT THE PAPACY HAS IT ALLREADY THERE IN PLACE AND JUST NEEDS TO TWEAK THIS OR THAT AND JUST STEP INTO IT.


i WISH i COULD GET THIS ACROSS TO A LOT OF PEOPLE.  i'VE GOOT BOOKS LISTEN DED ON MY BLOG ABOUT THE rOAN cHURCH TOO BY THE BWAY.  tHIS IS ALL NEEDED PERSPETIVE BUT UNORTUNATLEY THE rOMANISMST HAVE THEPROPAGANDA ON THEIR SIDE AS LONG AS WE REMAIN IGNORANT.  ON

pROTESTANTS nEED TO bECOME pROTESTANTS IN tRUTH aGAIN, AND cALL dOWN THE rOAMAN fAKE cHURCH

 I don't feel up to this, not to the topic and not even to the physical exertio of sitting at tmy computer to type it.   But I am definiotely called to write something about this however inadeuate it muar vw.  


I listened to an old book on the subject of the papacy as the antichrist by H Grattan Guinness but it's been a few weeks since I finished it, just haven't had theenergy to come to the computer.  The reader of the book was overly dramatic and inserted his own opinions here and there, which I've neve encountered in a reader of an audio book before, which was rather distratacting and made me wonder if I  was getting an accurate sense of the book.  


The message that must be put across somehow is that the Roman Church is far more of a threat to Christianity and to the world than an;ybody has any idea in our day.  The Protestant Church had s all but abandoned her first responsibility in this regard.  What is the Church called to but to identify the enemy of CHrist and follow the Reformers in keeping him from rising to power again.  That is the whole meaning of Protestantism, but what do we see in so called Protestant churches today but a nearly complete abdication of that responsibility.  HJogn MacArthur keeps the message alive.  So does Chris Pinto.  There are others I'm not as familiar with.  Richard Bennet died a few years ago.  I think his website is probably still up[, the rean Beacon I think.   But even the ministries to the Catholics, to try to save them from their doom in that soul killing institution  are way too gentle about it, apparently fearing to drive them away if they speak as stronlgly as the subject warrants.  


Catholicism is treated these days as just another denomination even by most Protestantsa.  The nonChristian wrolrld thinks of it as the main representative of Christianity in the world, ooh miserable travesty.  I mentioned in a previous post that Eric Metaxas seemed to be going out of his way tro avoid the problem of Catholicism in his recommendations ot Colson's efforts to unify all who call ghemselves CHristians for the purpose of taking on the evils in the culture.    I recently heard a good discussion of the Christian character of western civilization on the podcast Uncommon Knowledge where the Inquiition was treated as an unfortunate failur of Christianity, certainly not the sign of the nonChristian nature of the Roman Church that is the true explanation of it.  The same people always bring up the religionus wars too, as an argument against Christianity, without the slightest understanding of the cause of those wars even though theyu are historians and thinkers.  That sort of analysis is jjust not part of any secular study these days, though I was impressed that they had all come to the recognition that Christianity played the dominating role in establishing western Ciilzation.  These men were Doublas Murray and Tom Hollandj.  Also Steven Meyter but he's a real Christian and I'm not sure of his view of these thigns, I don't think he had must to say baout it on that panel.  


An;yway the book by H Grattan Guinness is a very stron gdenuniciation of the Roman Church and of the Protestant abdication of responsibility to keep it in the public eye as the great threat it is to civilization as well as to the true Church of Christ.   He madkes the point that after the Reformation the nations that became Protestant wen t on to progress and prosper in all sort of ways while the nations that remained Catholic, or really, Roman, stagnated as they always had.  America really owesa our liberties and properity to Protestantism, to the Reofrmation, no, not to theE Enlgihtenment.  And although we have many names for our enemies these days, Marxism Wokeism, Communism, and so  on, there is no doubt a strong Romanism influence influencing it all while flying under the radar.  It emerges at least in its support of open borders and flooding the nation with foreigners, manu of whome are Catholic as well as direct enemies such as terrorist Islamists.   I'm sure Chris Pinto has had a lot to say about this over the last year or so when I haven't been able to tget to his website.  Even now I'm having trouble listening to it though I've been able to get back now and then.  His is Noise of Thunder raDIO.  


tHE PAPACY ITSELF ISA VIOLATION OF SCRITPTURE.  wHEN THE rISHOP OF rOMAE SEDECLARED HIMSELF uNIVERSAL bISHOP OVER ALL THE OTHER BISHOPS HEW WAS USURPING A POWER THAT LAUNCHED HIM ON THE PATH TO THE FULL BLOWN ANTICHRIST WH PRESIDED OVER THE iNQUISISITON.   eVEN gREGORY THE gREAT, THAT IS pope gREHGORY THE gREAT , SAID THAT THIS USURPATION OF POWER WAS A FIRST STEP TOAWARD TOHTE ROLE OF ANTICHIRST OR SOMEHINGA ALONG THOSE LINES, AND HE WAS THE FIRST POSPE, IN aD 607 TO TAKE ON THAT ROLE.   


gUINNESS AMPLY PRESENTS ALL YTHE HORRIFIC ARROGANCEW OF THE PAPACY'S ASSUPTION OF POWERS OVER THE YEARS, AND ESPECIALLY ITS ARROGATION OF THE VERY POWERS AND IDENTIY OF goD.   tHE HE AMPLY DESCRIBES THE HORRORS OF THE TORTUEUES INFLIECTED ON THE VISCTIMS OF THE iNQUISITION.  oF COURSE THE rOMAN cHURCH HADA ALREADY BEEN PERSECUTING DISSIDENTS FOR YEARS ANYWAY, THE wALDENISANS AND THE OTHER GROPUS THAT RECOGNIZED THE PAPACY AS ANTICHRIST AND FORMED THEIR OWN DOMMUNITIES.  


iN A WAY YOU'D THINK JUST THE OUTER TRAPPINGS OF THE rOMAN cHURCH WOULD MAKE IT CLEAR SHE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH cHRISTIANITY.  tHE COLORFUL ROBES WHICH BELONG TO THE PAPGAN RELIGIONS OF rPAGAN rOEME, THE WEIRD LOOKING HGEADGREAR, THE LITTLE PAGAN PRACTICES LIKE THE SIGN OF THE CROSS, LIGHTING CANCDLES, DIPPING FINGERS IN "HOLY" WATER AND SO ON.  tHE ROSARY WHICH IS USED IN bUDDHISM AND OTHER PAGAN RELIGIONS.   L tHERE'S A LONG LIST OF THESE DEPARTURES FROM ANYTHING RLEATED TO BIBLICAL chRISTIANITY THAT IS ESCAPING ME RIGHT NOW.


i CAN'T DO THIS SUBJECT JUSTICES.  i HOPE i'VE SAID ENOUGH FOR A START., AND THAT i'LL BE UP TO SAYING MORE EVENTUALLY

End times Antichrist

For some time I've been aIN A STRUGGLE WITH THE pRE tRIBULATION rAPTURE END TIMES ESCHATOLOGY FOR THEIR IDEA THAT THE aNTICHRIST IS ONLY GOING TO E KNOWN JUST BEFORE HE COMES TO POWER.  i'VE BEEN PERSUADED OF HE rEFORMATION VIEW OF THE aNTICHRIST AS THE rOMAN pApacy, the final Antichrist to be the last Pope whenever he comes at the right time.  I've accepted some of the Pre Trib scenario about the very last  SSatanic playing out of the Antichrist's persecution of true Christians, along the lines of the persecutions by ghe Roman Church in the middle Ages against Christians anbd other supposed  heretics.  


Lately I've had some other problems with ehte Pres Trib cenario.  For instance I'm dcoming to think that the first five seals of Revelation Six are jot part of the Great Tribulation but evils  that have existed for the last two thousand years.  Revlation Six  is future it seems to me, all those sings in sun and moon and earthquake and so on heralding the tribulation.  I odon't yet know how to understnd the plamecement of thje rolling up of the heaven like a scroll and so on, but it's future in any case.   And the martyrs of Revelation Five are a particular problem for the Pre Trib scenario in my mind because fotr one thing they are described as "souls', meaning they are not in their glorified bodies as all those raptured would be.  Of course if this occurred after the Raputre they'd be gpart of the tribulation martyrdomes so nothat wouldn't be expected, but I just can't see a whole group of martyrs waiting for thei r fellow martyrs to show up who were madew in the very few years that would be all that could occur if the first five seals were part of the seven year Tribulstion period.   But I don't think that any more.  I think the martyrs are first the martyrs of the Caesars, and then the martyrs of the Roman papacy of the Middle Ages.  That means there are yet more martyrs to come during the seven year tribultion that is  about to be unleacshed.    


So now I thinkthe WSeventieth Week of Daniel, or the seven hyear Great Tribulation starts with the opening of the Weeventh seal, and that the ratprue has not yhet occurreds.    When it is to coccur I haven't yet understood but I'm starting to think it may be just when Jesus returns or perhaps just before the final wrath of the vials, or a bit earlier.  But I still have a problem with tyhere being two separate grops of believers and I know the pre trib system accepts that idea.  


I think it could all get starte with Pope Leo's confirming a covenant, accporeding to the book of Daniel, with Israel.  I hink that may be the next thing on the proophetic agenda.  But I'm still pondering all this and praying for God's leading.


More to say about all this.

Cultural Marxism is a Big Enemy the Chruch Needs to Face Down, but Romanism is Worse

 For some ime I'd wantend to hear the book by Eric Metaxas titled "Letter to the American Church" but couldn't find an audible version I could access.  Finally I did, through my Alexa device.  Never would have guessed she'e could be such a great help.  So I finally heard the book and I had mixed reacgtions to it.  This was  writtern a few years abgo, before trump became President and he was exhortin g the Church to stand up against the trends in the cuolture that are Marxist inspired and anti God, such as the transgender insanity, gay marriage, Critical Race Theory, Cancel culture, and so on.  Also the lockdown imposesd on the churches by the government durin gthe pandemic, which very few had opposed.  


All a good message though since Trump has taken on a lot of that since he was elected I wonder what Metaxas has to say about that and I haven't yet tracked it  down.   He did a good job of emphasizing the fact that if we are the Church we have faith in God's power and in Jesus' conquest of death, so that we should have no fewr of being cancelled or eeven killed ourselves if we are true to our calling to be salt and light in even the most threatening cultural environemtns.  Ours hasn't yet gon ethat far but it has gone far enough to be quite intimidating and to take definite courage in the face of its threats and ridicule and scorn.   Metaxas compares our situation to Germany in the thirties before the full fledged  horrors of Naxism had taken over, when it was becoming uncomfortable to speak out but wasn't yet quite the threat of the death camps and other intimidatings.   His gook was meant to warn the churches that it is our job to stand up against the attempts of a godless culture to take over and tyrannize us all into submission to their anti God agenda and that if we don't we are allowing it to grow into something like Nazi German;y.


The threat is still there although Trump has made great tstrides in his first six months toward undoing a lot of it.  Al it would take is the Left to win back power and the whole thing could be reversed in a flash.


My mixed reacton was larhgely a reaction to his holding up Chuck Colson as a good example of somehowone who faced down the evil culture, and while I won't argue with that part of the message I did notice that he never objected to Colson's willingness to join with Catholicism in these efforts, and not just as a poltiical alliance but on the ground that we share a Chricstian message, which we do not.    Metaxas also refferred to the Lutheran influence in Germany as having become eweakneed by Hitler's time while never once mentioning that Luther was combating the Roman Church, that it was the Roman Church that was the grave threat to civilization at one time.  As I listened to Metaxas it seemed one could get the impression that Luther was battling not Romanism but merely a tyrannical secular culture.  


I've noticeds this sort of thing before.  Many a good Christian exhortation may be given in a way that tacitrly incloudes the Romanan Church as if it were just another Christian denomination, which to my mind rwastes the whole message.  Id you EW Qeninf Finar qolcwa auewly you's mKW MOEW PEOFEWAAICW YID YOU SISN'R Hcw qolcwa on youe aisw.  Oe id you sis'r dIL RO EWXOFNIW RHr qomw on youe aisw rhR YOU ew XXWPRINF AO VLIRHWLY ew rhw wnwmy A MUXH OE MOEW RHn rhw rEFWR YOU ew SSEWAAINF r rhw mopmwnr.  


I suspect Metaxas dopesn't see the Catholic Roman church as the enemey.  I couldn't be wrong but there is no hint of it in many places where it should have been expressed in his book.  To my mind that wrecked the whole message.    Hew even critizized John MacArthur for failing to join with Colson in the Manhattan Declaaration, but MacArthur would have refused because of Colson's embracing of Romanism as sharing the Christian gospel, not because he opposes a political alliance.     


I  was focused for some weeks on the Cration Evolution debate and the sciebntific positions of Creationism, but suddenly I realized that God doesn't want me there, he wasnts  me here.  Romanism is a real enemy and few recognize it any more and much as I would like to just let it alone for a long time I don't think God wants me to do that.  I am certainly no great scholar of these things bnut  He has given me enoughn of an understandihg and sense of His calling to realize I've got to use whatever little I have to  talk about it and with more sgfdnvgh ghan usual.


And He's been leading me threre lately.

Loose End about the creatiiionist podcast

Listening back with Read  Aloud I'm reminded that I did hope the creationist podcast guys would  be open to my thoughts but now I'm aware that they are just too busy with their own work and I'm sorry I bothered them.  It's embarrassing that I wrote them so much bu I won't tdo it again.  Anyway it's juist aother case where I let my imagination get ahead of me, hoping for some help with things that I should know by now the Lord for whatever reason isn'g goint to give me.    He'll guide me though, I just have to bridle my manicky statemenes of mind and let Him.

Another Conglomerate of a Post

 After such a long breeak it's hard to get back to the blog.   I was hoping to get ore involved in the creationism issues but even havibn g a very inspiring poidcast to listen to isn't the  connection I think I need with the people involved in those issues.  The Lord seems to encourage this line of thought but I don't know what to do with it yet.  Just keep praying about it of course.


Haven't had much to say about the political scene lately but now it looks like we might be getting involved in the war with Israel against Iran, judging by Trump's warning to people to get out of Tehran earlier this evening.   As he keeps saying it's too bad Iran wouldn't come to the table and work out a deal but they wouldn't.  Israel Hhas done a ot toward defanging their nuclear capabiitya which is the opbjection ive of the US as well as Isreal, but there's apparently more to do.  The whole thing is very nervous making but then Iran's having the bomb is the most nervous making of all so it's clear it had to come to this.  Iran with a nuclear bomgb capability is unthinkable.\\


Then the usual crazy stuff with the proprotests in California against Trump for doing his job of calling in the national guard to protect federal property.  Calling him a King?  That's laughable.  But their whole mindset is almost as scary as Iran's havin gthe bomb.


Back to the creationism podcast for a moment.  The latest show aired early on Monday, part two of a three part series they are doing on the aftermath of the Flood, thre first one being about the effets of the tectonic violence durin gthe Flood, which brought about the volcanoes and earthqyakes we still experience, this second one beingh about the animals on the ark and their relation to the Created Kids.  And how we got our modern species from those.  


I often find myself disagreeing with thos or that jtheory of the creationists and of course the thouyght immediately follows Who am I to have a disagreement with scientiests anyway?  Well, I'm nobody but I do and oh well.    Anyway, the mai didea about the tectonic movement that is apparently current with tin Creaitonism ingeneral is that it began at the beginning of the Flood, in fact brought it about.  As I poindered that idea it just seemed wrong tooo me.  Too much acitvitiy for the laying down of the strata to have survived as well as they did during the fllod, there being clear signs that it all survived pretty much instanct as the Geological Column, and that it was only after the Flood that the disturbances occured that broke it up, twisted it and so on.  That is clear on the cross section of the Greand Staircase area I like so much.  


jOn the subject of the Created Kinds I've had problems there too and i that case I haven't given it anywhere near the thought I've given to the strata but I did spend some time on it.  It seems to me the Creationists find too many Kinds.  Where I find all BIrds to be a Kind, though I do have some doubts there I still need to unravel, they find many.  In this episode they focused on the camel and the fact that it can hybridize with the llama, which was an interesting piece of infofmration since I haven't been up on those animals.  If animals can hyridize, that is, have offspirring together, that should mean they belong to the same Kind.  Makes sense.  But then they find that it was a camel that was taken onto the ark, not a camellama as it were, and that leads them to think there was in fact be two separate kinds here, camel and llama.  ThAT'S BECAUSE YOU COULD GET A CAMEL AND A LLAMA FROM A CAMELLAMA AFTER THE ARK LANDED, BUT IF THE TWO DIFFERENT ANIMALS WERE ON THE ARK THAT CHANGES THE PICTURE OF WHAT THE ORIGINAL kIND WAS.  


i THINK i GOT THAT RIGHT BUT i MAY HAVE TO LISTEN TO IT AGAIN TO BE SURE.    mY ANSSEER WOULD BE THAT IT SEEMS TO ME THAT nOAH TOOK A NUMBER OF SPECIES OF SOE kINDS ONTO THE ARK, ALL MEMBERS OF THE ORIGINAL kIND BUT SO DIFFERENTIATED OVER THE PREVIOUS FIFTEEN HUNDRED YEARS THAT THEY HAD SHARPLY EOUGH CHARACTEREA  DEFINED CHARACTERISTICS OF THEIR OWN TO WARRANT BEING TREATED AS KINDS IN THEIR OWN RIGHT.   tHE DOVE AND THE RAVEN i WULD SAY MUST HAVE COME FROM THE ORIGINAL bIRD kIND BUT THEY WERE BOTH REPRESENTED ON THE ARK.   iu THINK THAT'S WHAT WAS THE CASE WITH THE CAMEL AND THE ALLLAMA.  aND PROBABLY OTHERSMK, THOUGH i'M NOT UP TO GUESSING WHICH AT THE MOMENT.


Oh drat I just notice the caps lock light was on, I have no idea HOW LONG.  oH, SORRY.  Oh there ist hgoes again.  Wow I keep hittin git.  


Anyway.  In other news, I'm listening again to ndrew Muray's Divine Healing.  I never thoughts I could be persuaded of that but the more I listen the more convinced I am that the Lord would heal us as a part of our redemption if we believed.  Belif is always the requriement.  Hard to ddrum up believe of course.  


Very messy post I'm afraid.  I try tso hard to disciplune my fingers but they seem to have their own ideas about what they want to type.

Catching up after my long break

 Thrtee months away, wow.  Computer crash followed by a couple weeks before deciding on getting a new one, which of course I was unable to navigate due to my macular degeneration.  Then, having nobody to help with that for quite a while , after some conversations back and forth with freinds and family Igot an Alexa device and she's been a great help.   She gives me the definition sof words as well as the time and date and temperatio  inside and outside, plays me aubdible books and podcasts.  I don't remember how it happened but through alexa I discovered the podcast "Let's Talk Creation" with Paul Garner and TOdd Wood, where the two of them discussion mostly the science of creationism but also theological matters that underlie Creationism.    I don't know how I failed to discover them earlier but I think it's probably a good thinkhgthat I didn't because I'm a binge listener to things I like and this way I had a great backlog of shows to listen to.  Having to wait the two weeks between shows would have driven me crazier than I am alreaydy.  


That pocast has been an enornouis blessing for me.  They discuss all the issues I've spent years off andon thinking about, as well as educating me in the general direction of Creationist science.   I never could make use of the creationist websites, too hard to find rthings I wanted to learn about, and a lot of it is way to technical for me.  Now and then Todd and Paul have a program tjat is way too much jargon but for the most part they avoid that and manage to keep thihngs to a level that is both interesting and accessible to a nonscientist.  


Just discovering people who can talk on this leel revives all my interest in my own theories and thoughts about the issues and I'm now way too eager to find a way to try to get them to read my stuff.  I've already sent them too much in a couople of emails and am feeling rather guilty about that.   I can't stop writing it out I suppose but I don't hae to send it.  I hope they havn'et been too mput off and might be interested enough to read some of it.   Of course I think I'e found the wa to topple evolution altogheter, but they call that Magic Bullet thinking and say it isn't going to happenen.  That hasn'[t tdeterred me but I'm not tgoint to try it out on them.  Not het anyway.  Maybe not ever I suppose.  But I'vew also worked out a lot of my own creationist scenarios athat I would love for professionsals to take seriously.  No guarntees there either of course but I haven't had anyone to  talk to at all about anyh of the stuff I've done in this area.  Just the evolutionists at EvC forum who are all greared to finding out any way they can to shoot me down and that gets pretty tiresssome, although oever the years of participating on that forum I have learned a lot from them.  Or been inspired to learn a lot anyway.


Finallyh a granson graduated from high school and the family came for a visit.  TotBoth my sadaughter and son in law are very helpful with the coputer problewm so I can now return to my blog and to YouTube and even, surprise of all surprises, write an email.  I need my daughter's help.  I can type the thing blind but I need her to edit it and put in the title and recipient's address and she's able to do that from her home a state away.  Working out find so far.  I am having a probl;em with the read aloud stuff.  It's too different from the old computer so I just hjaven't taken the time to try toget get used to it.  


When IU was so rudely interrupted three months ago by the computer crash I'd just prognosticated that I thought the current Pope could survive his illness and even go on tto be the End TImes Antichrist.  He kept drecovering and even went home so I thought maybe my guess wowas going to come true.  But it didn't, he died and now we have a new candidate for the End Times Antichrist.  And of course I'll be watching him too.  Looking for that signing of a covenant with Isareal.  Or confirmation of a covenant as the book of Daniel has it.  \\The usual hateful things being  


done by the Leftist over the last few months, hateful, evil, insane, antiConstitutional, built on twisted lies.  If I spentd too much time thinking about it my health seems to suffer from it somehow.  Hard to believew the craziness that's going on, destrubctive evil violent craziness.  That they blame on their opponenets.  


But the Creationist podcast lifts my spirits and gives me something more constructive to think about.  Also listening to some inspiring uaaudio books.


As usual I feel the mistakes rolling out from m fingertopips.  How depressing.  But I'll stop now.


SHould add the email my daughter is manageing for me:  faithswindow@mail.com


Hopwe I got that right.  I'm happy to be back.  I don't suppose there are many to  notice as usual but I'm happy to be back anyway.

The Upside down crowd still rage and are still dangerous

 watching protests against Trump and Musk's efforts to identify and cut down on waste,k fraud and abuse of tazpayer money.  They say it's terrifying what these men are doing.  They emphasize that Musk is not elected.  They say they are doing something unconssitutional, that they are taking away American freedoms and some say stealing our money.  They see threat to our grandchildren to destroy our democracy, they want Congress to act to curtail this misuse of power.  

THIS is what is realling terrifying.  THIS is really the threat to democracy, this craziness, this absolutely insane misunderstanding about what Trump and Musk are doing which is completely conssituional and very much needed to KEEP our democracy functioning, and without which the country will be destroyed.   They have no idea whatever thart what they are doing , Trump and Musk, is done by all Presidencts and that they all use UNelected people to do the work, tat's how the work gets done.  This is standard perfectly consissituional procedure and they are the ignorant ones who are threatening the nation.   Threatienint the future for their grandchildren.  THEY are the destroyers.  Flying our American flag upside down.    THIS is the terrifying threat, ad it is a threat against the first real sane commonsensical effor tto save the nation in decades.    

Is it a matter of not hearing the truth?  Being deceived by the media?  Or just being so incdoctrinated by leftist ideology they can't think tstright at all.     THEY are the threat.  Wow, this is the horroro.  I can only hope it's not a big movementg but I know they've got big money behind them.   

Pray pray pray for truth and reality and reasonableness and righteousness to win.  Pray pray pray.  Because ther eare way too many people who are dangerously misled.   Pray pray pray.    I'm glad we have Trump now but  the forces of darkness that have been working against him for years are still at it.

A Conference on Preserving Western Civilization


As usual I don't know if I captured theURL or not but I hope so, and if I did it's only going to be in the mdidle of one of many talks or at least I suppose that is whre it will be.  This is a convference I just heard, well I heard three speakers at it and th eonly one I'm familiar with is Douglas Murray, but all three are excellent all on the topic of the greatness of Western civilicszation and why we need to preserve it.  I don't know what the conference is called or when it was held.  It's in London though, that much I know and everybody so far has a British accent.  I love these talks and hope there are many more to listen to.    And I hope the URL bewlow goes somewhere during that ocnference.


ebuilding Civilisation: Douglas Murray’s Bold Vision for the Future [ARC 2025]



After I posted the above I heard more and found out that the conference is called ARC but I don't know what the letters stand for.  I also found out it was put together by Jordan Peterson and he eventually speaks too.    But I just heard this great talk by someone, I dn't kbow who he was, who talked about the essential role of Christianity in EWestern CivilixZation and the need to revcover it.  Yes yes yes and I hope this following URL works:

I'm not much of a fan of Jordan Peterson's Jungian approach to everything, to say the least, I mean I really don't like it at all and think he goes way off the raisls when he applies it to the bible in particular, so I'm not recommending his talk.  I like many things he says in general, I like his basic cultural mindset and political mindset and I guess I have to say I think his heart is in theright place about such important things.  But he's way off base when he tries to apply psycbhologyc to the Bible.

The Zelensky Trump Qar of @ords


Jmonday March 3 addition:  I hear many saying that what Zelensky said about our having a "nnice Ocean" between us and our enemies was particularly offensive because it disrespects the great sacrifices we've made to help our European allies in the past, but I dn't think that's at all what he meant.  I think over and over he ws emhasizing his aniety about security, which he shouldn't have been doing in that context, OK, but the point is that all hea menat was that he has this enemy on his border while we have a whle ocean between ourselves and our enemies wo that our situation is different psychologically, to explain his constant carrying on about security.    I thinkk he was misunderstood.  I think everything he said was about how he needs security and that's what matters to him most.  Should have been the theme behind closed doors and answered there I suppose, and he was wrong to bring it up as he did in front of the cameras, but nevertheleeess I dn't think it was ghte kind of offense , at least not the remark about the ocean, that it was taken to be by some.

*****

+

I know there are layers of history here, betrayals, historicla events that were never resolved, motivational differences and so on andsoso forther, but after all the smoke cleared today I kept having the impresseion that Zlensky was saying the same thing over and over, thta he was concerned bout having security against Russia, tht he has this strong enemy on his border that is always attcking or threateneing attack, taking land, killing people, and that's what he needs help with most.  And he seemed to treat the deal being offered as less important to him, even the idea of peace itself, because he couldn't see any guarantees that the country could be protected from russia.    

he was rude and gauche and offensive about many things he said, including the way he was dresed for such an occasion, certainly not somebody used to behaving properly in such a context, which is maybe the most usurprising things about the whole encounter.   But I ended up thinking he's just gauche and couldn't get his concern across about how security above all is what matters to him.   It seemed to me he said it in many different ways, manyh of them objectionable because dismissive of what trump was trying to do, but at the same time he kept saying God bless and I think that was his way of trying to mitigate the offense and aim for some sense of displomacy.    Appreciation, gratititude, all that was felt to be missing by Trump and Vance.    

The deal sounds like a very good one for both Ukraine an America but somehow he doesn't sound like he thinks so, maybe because he doesn't picture the seucirty inherent in having a lot of MAericans in the country mining for minerals which would be a security oto a great extent in itself.  Trump a coupole of times said he couldn't promise seucirty because negotiations aren't even really underway yet.   

Anyw, in the end I think thre was at least a top layer of frustration at not being able to get his main concenr across that fueled the weird war of words from Zelensky's side.    

The deal does sound like a good one.  I hope he can come to his senses and make up with rump so it can go through.


Miscommunication is a problem for all of us human beings, and Trump himself gets misunderstood more than most maybe because of his style.  I just listened to a talk by Victor Davis Hanson about how he was misunderstood when he said Zelensky started the war, which he later said he didn't mean the way it was heard, nand claling Zelensky a dictartor.  I tryied to capture the URL to the talk abut  I have a feeling it won't work.  I'll try to paste it anyway.

A Rabbi Enounters Jesus Christ in a Near Death Experience; and other motley topics

https://watchpraystand.blogspot.com/2025/02/pope-watch-update.html#:~:text=Christian%2

I hope that URL works.  I hope it IS a URL for starters.   It's supposed to be the address of a video I just watched about a rabbi who had a near death experience during a heart attack and encountered Jesus.  Most NDEs hit me as phony in some way or another, something demons could invent, and I do think most of them are, but this one hit me as authentic in every detail.  The biblical teaching is right on and that's the most important part of it but the escenes themselve s were also convincing, and Jesus Himself convincing, which is really saying somethoing b because most of the attempts to present Jesus or God in an NDE are horrifically phony.  this one is real  and tghe whole storey is very convincing.   His name is Rabbi As  Rabbi Aaeon   Aaron something, I didn't get the whole name.   And I could barely type it as you can see.   



****
This post has beomce a motley collection of things.  The vido I mention aove I'm posting here on Thursday morning.  Since it is about this rabbi's calling to preach Christ to his people I wanted to say something about what I feel my own dacalling to be.  

Back when I started this blog there were a few subjects I knew I wanted to post about, starting with the head covering for women I'd studied.   I think that was a calling from God, not the deramatic direct kind of  calling the rabbi had but still a calling, something I feel I was led to by God and have an obligation to try to use for the sake of the Church.  Leaving it up to God to do that since all I can do is write about it here and that's not a very big outlet to say the least.   
Then I wanted to write about the 
creation versis evolution debate which I'd been moworking on for a long time and continued to work on even recently as different ways of saying it have occurred to me.  I now have a blog for the head covering and a blog for the evolution debate.  That too is a calling, to try to present arguments for the creation against evolution.

I've never wquite felt it was a calling to present the arguments for the  false Bible versiosn in quite the same way, because I never got into it beyond a pretty superficial level.  But in its own way I could call it a calling.  I do think it's an important subject and it's too back the phony Bible versions that come down from Westcot and Hort's  misguided work  should be rejected by the Church.

As I was putting the blogs together I kept turning up videos about the Antichrist and finally had to realize thta that too was something I ws to write about.  I'd already recognized that the Pope is the Antichrist so I got into a website that made that argument, the Berean Beacon by a former Cathoolic priest and I've already forgotten his name.  Richard Bennett?   I hope that's right.  He had his own encounter with the truth that caused him to see that the Roman Chruch was teaching false doctrine.  Over and over he emphasizes how the Pope is the Antichrist.  As did the Protestant Reformers.  So that became another calling of mine and I do think it is a calling, pto keep that identify of the Pope in view on my blog.    the end times prophetic ministries don't see him as the Antichrist so I'm pushing an unfamiliar point of view here.

When Pope Francis was elected there were signs in the date and the time and other things that made him stand out as something special in the run of Popes.  It isn't just that we've been feeling we are in the end times that makes him a candidate for the final Antichrist, all popes being antichrist under the number  six six six adas I've explained many times, but those portents.  Ever since he was elected I've thought of him as the final Antichrist in spite of the fact that his age would seem to be a strong argument against that role.  We are waiting and waiting and watiing for the Raputre and the longer we wait the older Pope Francis beomces and the less likely a candiddate for such a big role before Jesus comes back.  But those portents , the number thirteen and all that, just keep pointing to him so no matter how hard it gets to hold on to him I have to hold on to him until something edefinitively show s me that I'm wrong.   When he got sick recently, very seriously sick, that just about took away all hope, if hope is the word for the figure of the antichrist, odd idea I know, but as I said I do take this as a calling, odd though it may be, to identify this Pope as the Antichrist.  Not that I'm alone but I know I'm one of very few.  I don't know why it matters to identify the Antichrist before the end times get underway except that it is clearly the truth about the matter and that's reason enough, but for some reason I seem to have that job.   

He hsn't died or stepped down though eighter could happen any time.  All I can do is wati and see if I've been misled or been hearing God on this subject.  


Just before he got sik it seemed that God had given me a better reaon to think he is really the last Antichrist, the one who will ruel the world at the end, atnd that was the recogniziont that next year is the thirtteenth anniversay or his election.  It's just that the thirteens are so promintent in my aawareness of him that the discovery of a cluster of them coming in just a year does seem to pin things down pretty definitevely.  Although he is very sick he is recoving a bit every dy and although he is very old people are living into their nineties these days so I'm taking that anniversary next year as a prediction that something will happen on that date to elevte him to the role I've been expecting him to occupy.  

Again, wait and see.  there is nothing to do but wait and see.\\


actually, UI supposed one benefit of pointing out the identity of the Pope as the Antichrist could be to free some Catholics from their false releiciong so that they could be saved before the Tribulation comes upon them.

Pope Watch Update, and a Review of Catholic Doctrine Which Deprives catholics of Salvation



wEDNESDAY:  hE'S HNGING IN THERE.  i DON'T WANT TO GET COCKY AND i'M TRYING NOT TO BECAUSE OF COURSE i CAN'T KNOW FOR SURE, BUT i AM PRETTY SUCH NEVERTHELESS THAT THIS COMES FROM gOD AND THAT THIS POPE IS TO BE THE FINAL aNTICHRIST DESPITE ALL THE REASONS TO THINK ON NORMAL CONSIDERATIONS THAT HE COULDN'T BE, HIS AGE AND SIGNESS OF COURSE.   IF THIS COMES FROM GOD AS i'VE GFELT IT DOES THEN HE'S GOING TO RECOVER AND GO ON TO A FEW MORE HEUEARS OF BEING pOPE AND RISING TO THE TOP OF THE GLOBAL GOVERNMENT.   wHEN GOD SHOWED ME, AND YES i DO BELIEVE GOD SHOWED ME THIS, THAT NEXT YEAR IS THE THIRTEENTH ANNIVERSARY OF HIS ELECRTION THAT SEEMED TO MY MIND TO CONFIRM HIS IDENTITY AS THIS LAST aNTICRHIST.  iT GIVES A REASONABLE ENOUGH TIME PERIOD FOR IT TO HAPPEN IN.  hE'LL BE EITHERY NINE NEXT YEAR AND DESPITE HIS SICKNESS HE COULD WELL RECOVER IN STREENGTH AND GO ON INTO HIS NINETIES AS MANY DO THESE DAYS.  wE HAVE LL KINDS OF LONGEVITY SUPPLEMTNS AND AIDS TO HELP HIM TOUT TOO, BUT GOD hIMSELF IS ENOUGH ANYWAY.  i BELIVE IT COMES FROM gOD SO i BELIVE IT IS GOING TO HAPPEN.  IF IT DOESN'T HAPPEN i'M WRONG ABOUT gOD'S MESSAGE TO ME AND THAT WOULD BE A TERRTIBLE BLOW.


Late Monday Update:  Slight improvements reported.

Monday morning, two a.m.   After his worsening bout y\on Saturday he's been stabilized and resting.  but as long as he's alive I'm holding to my belief tthat he is to be the end times Antichrist.  If he dies or steps down then I'll be wrong and that's the end of that, but as long as he's alive and still Pope he's mycandidate for that role in the Grand Finale of Planet Earth before teh Lord Jesus resturns.  

Many Christians feel that we are definitely living in the end times and that the very End is very close, but the end time prophecy ministries who do believe there is to be a final Antichrist who rules the world before the return of Christ, dn't believe tght he is to be a Pope.  They believe that he is to be a political figure who is not now known but will be revealed as the world ruler at tome time after the Rapture of the Church.   I am among the very frew who believe that global ruler will be a Pope.  And for all I know I'm among even fewer who believe that that final ruler will be this particular Pope Francis.

The Protestant Reformers, Luther in particular, identified the Pope as the Antichrist after studying the Bible and experiencing rebuggs from the Pope of his day when he tried to bring about needed reforms in the catholic Church.  But the Reformers weren't the first to identify the Pope, or the papacy itself, as the Antichrist, many dissident Christians most of them outside the Catholic or Roman Church had identified him as Antichrist .  Chris Pinto has a study on this fact at his website Adullam Films.  

then more recently somebody, I don't know who, discovered that a major title of the Pope in Latin has Roman Numberals in it that add up to the number 666.  This is the number rthat idenfies the Antichrist in Revelation Thirteen.   The title in English is Vicar of Christ, which all by iself is a name for the Antichrsit, since it means substitute for Christ, or in the place of Christ and that's Antichrist.  The Latin term is Vicarivus Filii Dei, Substitute for the Son of God, and if you add up the Roman numerals you will get 666.  There simply cannot be a more perfect expresion of this number anywhere else.  Roman numerals in a Latin term thnat actually means Antichrist?  No way is there boigoing to be any mor perfect identifier than this.

That identifies all Popes, the papcy itself, and there are many who refuse to believe that the Pope is the Nantichrist nevertheless.  Or at least on the basis of the Reformer's biblical account sincew the number came much later.  A W Pink was one who wrote that the Antichrist couldn't be a Pope because the term refers to a single human being and not a system like the papcy.  He might be convinced if he saw the way the infamous number can be derived from the title of the Pope.

Then when this current Poppe, Francis, was elected in  2014 I learned from some source or other that the election occurred on the thirteenth day of the third month of that thirteenth year which seems to me to be a pretty portentous thing.  God does use symbols and signs to communicate momentous events to us so to my mind this fits right into that pattern.   Since we've been feeling that we are in the last days for some time now it wuld make sense thta this particular Pope could be the very last and the one to become the Ancirchrist scripture tells us is to be wolrld ruler at the very end.   But Francis is quite old and the older he got the less likely it seemd that he could be the one i in sp[ite of all these portents and signs.  There is also the seagull that perched on the chimney werhere the white smoke rose to announce the election of the Pope and since that bird is an unclean bird that represents ungodliness it seems to fit right in with other signs of this Pope's being the Antichrist.  

but as he's been getting older and older and then recently got very sigk this idea has seemed to become less and less likely.  hard to hold onto.   He had bronchitis tht turnsed into double pneumonia, which on saturday worsened and his condiion was called critical at tht point.  Today he is stable again but he's eighty eight and this is not a isckness such an old man could easily survive.    

Nevertheless the signs and portents to my mind are a sign from God that he must be the one scripture says will reign globallyh at the end.  I hold onto that in spite of everything.  If he dies or steps down, bwell so much for my ability to read God's mind, but I still believe it so far.  Wait and see.

If the Pre tribulation end times scenario which is the most popular one turns out to be right, although it's wrong as far as its identifiecation of the Antichrist goes in my opinion anyway, but otherwise if it's right then the Church, true Christ an beliveers will be Rapturesd before the Antichrist comes to power, that is, we'll be lifted off the earth to join the Lord in heaven, after which a seven year period of great suffering on earth is to follow, worsening dramatically at the midpoint ofthe seven years when the Antichrist is expected to break a covenant made with Israel at the start oftof the Tribulation period.   the idea is tht many who start out as nonChristians will become Christian believers during this period though through a great deal of suffering and many martyrdoms.   Christians before all this happens won't be around to witness it all.

And I have to admit that the idea of two separate groups of believers in Christ has always made me suspicious of the Pre Tribulation system, it just doens't makese sense to me.  but I don't have a better system in mind so I accept most of the system for now.    there are some good arguments for it.  

It's sad to me to see all the people praying for Pope Francis with their rosary beads chanting the Halil Mary or Lord's prayer for whatever they are doing.  that is not prayer, it's just pagan superstittion.  So many poor duped Catholics.  It is possible for a catholic to be saved if Christ and Christ alone is theirobject of worship, if they don't give any credence at all to Mary or the so called Saints, but that's a lot to ask of a Catholic.  They grow up with pagan superstitiouns agaloere which isn many cases overshadow Christ.  Mary easily overshadows Him and that's a huge blasphemy.  Just aksing her to inctgercede for them is a blasphemy.  She's a mere human being who can't hear them anyway.  Christ is God and He hears prayers.  And He is our Intercessor, not Mary.   The rosary comes from pagan religion too.  There is nothing Christian about it.  I had a Buddhist friend yuears ago who worse a rosary around her forearm and counted out some kind of Buddhist message on it.  Repetititve prayers are not prayer anyway and reciting the rosary is jut a sor of chanting of repetitive worseds.   Holy water, incense, lighting candles, sign of the crsoss, the rosary, repetitive so called prayers, relics and I don't know what all else are pagan trappings that come down from the religions of ancient Rome and have nothing whatever to do with Christ or Christianity.    Salvation is through Christ anolone, his daeth on the cross in our place, to pay our sin debt to the Moral Law that only He could pay.   that is salvation and nothing else.   The Catholics are sadly deceived.

Oh, and Purgatory.  Another Catholic tradition that is absolutely not Christian and in fact is more directly antiChristian than othres.  Becuase it implies that good works have something to do with salvation which they do not.  It is clear and stated many times by Paul in the new testament that works do not save us, that we are saved entirely by faith in Christ through grace, faith in His death on the cross which pays for our sins against God.   purpoagatory implies that His savlation isn't enough to save us completely that we still need to atone for some of our sins ourselves before we can be saved.  This is a perfect example of catholic doctrine that deprives Catholics of salvation .  Purely diabolical, made up by the devil himself.  there is no purgatory , there is only Hell if you are not saved.  Christ's death for us is perfect salvation if we put all our trust in Him.  

Anyway I remain committed to the prediction that this Pope is to be the Pope of the lst days who ascendeds to the seat of the ruler of the world known as the Antichrist at the very end.   He may be very eold and very sick but I just think the signs are clear tht he has to be the one.   if I'm wrong it will be very disappointing to me to say the least but so far he's alive and he's still Pope and I'm still committed to this prediction.

When I found out that next year March third is the thirteenth anniversay of Pope Francis' elsection to the papcy I considered it a guildance from the Lord and mused that perhaps that is to be the date of his revelation as the world ruler.  Perhaps that is the date when he will confirm the covenant with Israel that is prophesided in the booki of Daniel.  All those thirteens can't just be soincidence.   


SATURDAY UPDATE

 He's nSATURDAY UPDATEow in critical condition, not at all a hopeful sign for recovery.  I still hold to my prediction becuase it's just so full of meaningful portents it's hard to give it up, but as I kept saying in my post on the subject below, Keeping an Eye on the Sick Pope, I could be wrong.

then I'd hav to look for the next Pople to have great portents if I'm right at all about being the final world ruler Antichrist of the Book of Revelation.

Certainly hard to give up on Francis though, with all those thirteens piling up on the day he was elected to the office, and his general character being opposed to a lot of Catholic moral tradition.  So.  Wait and see.  It's up to God.

I mistakenly wrote March 3 when it should hve been March 13 for next year's thirteenth anniversay of the election of Pope Francis.

I think I probably mistyped the Latin title of the Pope.   I'll try again:

VICARIFS

Heather Cox richardson Again

 N

Late Monday night addition:  I just have to add this, a sentence from a brief ad I just saw on You Tube that interrupted a program i was watching.  It's the same kind of message HCR gives so I'm putting it here:  "Trump is destroying our democracy so thta he can allow his billionaire friends steal from us."    I put it in quotes but it's prpobably not his exat words, and I don't know who the guy is.   How on earth can any sane person think such a thing?  This is the bdiabolical evil I keep finding in HCR.  It's beyond insane and it's dangerous.  


* * * * * 

ow I want to make an effort to respond to Heather Cox richardson again, to her coments on the ideo I linked in the post below, about four posts down I 6think.  I just listened again to the first part of it and I'll start with some quick broad comments:

She says among the rights our founding documents guarantee to us is "equal access to resources>'"  that struck me as wrong right off the bat but I wasn't sure  what she meant by it.  then she is soon saying that vry rich men like dale Carnegie came along and more or less took that right away from us by obviously having more access than anyone else to the resources that made him rich.  So I figure she's talking about sources of wswealth such as oil deposits or mineral deposits or any other natural resources tht can be the source of gret wealth for the nation.     

I say wealth for the nation because thats how I thik of it.  She seems to think it's only welath for those who have the means to gain acess directly to those resources.  The Carnegies and rockefellers and so on.  She thinks the rise of those very wealthy men threw a wrench into our doctrine of equal rights to all.  \\ 

Again this just hits me as so wrong it's hard to know where to begin to unravel it.   But then later in the talk she says she doesn't mean by equal access to resources only to jobsw and that sort of thing, which is already idifferent from what she's said about the rich having more acessess than the rest of us, but goes on to say that she means also access to aeducation and health care and all that.   

So heare she's done a job of mind rape on us.  Switching her definitions, changing th etopic without warning.  Does she mean the rise of the mega welathy is the cause of depriving us of our rights or what?  Who knows?  Sometimes I don't think she's interested in communicating at all but in hypnotizing us into passivility or osmethihng like that.

then she says that starting in the fifties we got this idea meaning some people got it tht they, white men in particular it seems, that they were being deprived of their rights by blacks and other minorities.  I think I got that right.  I'll have to go back and listen to it again.  In oanother video she already pretty much called us al racists who are not livberals so it would fit with that.     Fifties?  I'll have to come bacck to this.

then she says that although DOGE is supposedly intended to root waste out of govetfnment this is in fact a lie.  She says they claim that some money was going to go to a drag performance of some sort in some country or other, which is one of the thihngs I've also been hearing, but that this is a lie.  

No, it's not a lie, the money was clearly adressed to that purpose, there is no doubt, that's why Musk and his team earmarked it for elimination.  She's said that he's just getting ricdd of thinkgs he doesn't like but  that others like.  Do others like this kind of expense to come out of our taxpayer money?  Well, turns out no, that wehn it's deribed she says it isn'[t reallyh where the money was going, that's a lie.   Sigh.  No, that's where it was going and that's why they pulled it.  If you want to argue that you think that's a legitimate expense then argue that, don't argue that it's a lie because it's not a lie.

then she says Musk is just tring to get his hanadns on oall ourmoney ecaus ehe considers himself to be part of a special class of people and doesn't care about all the rest of the citizens of the country.  He's doing his program to gt a colony established on Mars for instance jut to benefit this little class of people at the expense of everybody else, and doesn't care a bit about the rest of us.  Now THAT is the lie.   I think this Mars project is nuts because I'm a Christain who believes Jesus is coming back pretty soon and we're never going to need to move to anyother planet, even though kjoowing Musks's special intelligence it could very well be possible.  But I think his heart is in the right plsae and he does what he does because he wants to promote the general welfare of humanity however he thi nks he is able to bring it about.   He supplied thousands of his starlink gizmos to the people of NWest North Caronlina wsho couldn'[t use their phones after Hurrican Helene, brought them in on a moment's notice to help them out and probably samved manyh many lives.    from everything I've heard him say on manyh interviews he is reallyh genuinely concerned to be of help to humanity and to America, and I am appalled at this attack on him as if he's acting from selfish interets.  As if he needs our taxpayer money when he's already the richest man in the world.  what on earth are these peopel thinking?    they are looking for waste, fraud and corruption in our various departments of government and trying to do away with it.   That's all.  they are finding quite a bitg, but I guess with people like richarcdson telling lies about it people are getting all enraged as if he's ut  hurting things rather than helping.    She is the liar, they are the liars, and it's too bad that their lies are going to affet these honest attempts to improve America.

then the lie about how they want to do away with Mdicaid and Medicare and So cial Security.  never ever ever ahas that wbeen said, but of  courfse it deoesn't matter what anyone says, they are going to make it mean that anyway.   They say they want to do away with great waste, fraud and corruptinon within these programs, NOT THE PROGRAMS THEMSLEVES.    zGood Grief.  Now is thshe liying about thisa?  Is she the progpagandist while she accuses her opponents of oing that?  I rather think so.

And the department of education is to be done away with according to her because they want to destroy the country.  No, dear, the Department of education has been destroying ducation ever since it was formed in nineteen eighty one.  that's why they want to get rid of it.  Our ranking in the world on education was very high becfore that edepartment was formed and it's gbeen going down ever since.   It's become just a tool of the so called Progressives to indoctrinate an propagandize, and they are the ones destroying education and destroying the country, not us MAGA people.  We are the ones who want to restore true education so that we can have a well informed citizenry instea dof a bunch of indotrinated leftist zombies.

She is calling Elon Musk "that death panel" that the right hung on obamacare.  But as with everything else that's true of the Left it always gets blamed on the Right because that is their main strategy to undermine us.  Whatever is true of them is denied but laid on us instead.  diabolical.   S Richardson is telling her listeners ot to believe what we are saying about how it is really wsaste and fraud that Musk and DOGE are trying to cut out of goverment at all, but things that really keep the government of the US and its people alive and functioning.  this is a diabolical accusation and dangerous if believed, which of course is the case since liberals usually follow their own spokespeaple and never bother to check anything against the other side's facts.  

According to HCR Musk is ""liberally defunding cancer esearch."  She wants to be shown the waste which she sayhs isn't really there at al andnot what he is going after.  I don't know what waste he has found in NIH, Ihaven't heard about that one, ut it is she who should be giving the evidence of her malicious accusations that instead she just asserts the way lbefitists always do.  never evidence, never a fact to be seen, just assertions.  We're liying they are right.  Musk has identified where the money is going according to where it is marked to go, he has that evidence, he knows it is actually going there and he has judged it waste if it is going to something like a drag propaganda film in outer mongolia.   She's welcome to diagree that that is waste, but she has offered nothing to prove that it is not going where he says it is going.  And she is now claiming that he wants to cut out legitimate research by NIH.  hHe does not and that is a diabolical lie.  If he's found watsere there then it is waste becaus that is what he is looking for.  He is not at all intereted, meaning that trump is n't because Musk is working for Trump, not interested at all in harming any legitimate work the moneyh is being used for.  and again she has proved none of her wild nasty assertions.


then she goes on to talk about the Constitutional frameword for how maw making is to be done and as usual gives the Executive branch just about no power at all, which is what the liberals always do.  Biden of course whroe hundreds of executive orders that none on her side objected to although they were in fact the true destrucive power we are dealing with now, wnot what trummp is doing which is an attempt to recover the nation from that destruction.  biden can write Executive orders all he wants but according to this leftist mentality trump can't.  All partisan politics with these people.    

then she makes that ridiculous remakr the Ledft has been screaming for days, weeks now, Musk was not elected.  No he was not elected, he was appointed, or employed, by trump, and that is what is supposed to ha-ppen.  He is a delegate to do the work he is assigned by trump.   Nojne of the Cabinet appointees are elected either.  they are all appointees, all chosen by the Presicxdent.  That is the way the Exuecutive branch is uspposed to operate.  the President cfhoses people who will carry out his campaign promises , that'[s how they get done.   He wants people who understand his goals and are committed to carrying them out and this time around he seems to have chosen a good bunch of people to do just that.  And elon Musk is one of his choices to carrying out a task he wants to see done, the identification and elimination of waste, fraud and corruption in the government.  

And since richardson thinks that is not what is happening it is her respohnsbility to prove ti instead of just slinging dangerous accusations as she is doing.

Galloping on hrough this madness and skipping a lot of stuff for the moment I just awant to comment on her saying thta they want to go back to the time vbefore MAGA acording to her when you couldn't discriminate against anyone in hiring and education and so on.  i forget all ther words but thta's the gist.  Which has me picking my jaw up off the floor and trying to find my eyebolls that rolled so hard they rolled under the furniture yeah yeah yeah.  Anyway.  THEY were doing a lot of discriminationg before MAGA came along with the intent to get ride of it.  Good grief these lefties are diabolical, just turn everything on its head.  THEY put affirmiative action into place which discriminated in favor of blacks.  That's discrimination.  THEY support discrimination against the best qualified applicatnts to universities if they are white or Asian.  THEY are doing that discrimination.  This is discrimination that needs to end and with MAGA should end.   God grief .   And as I said I've skipped over a lot of enormities to arrive at this one, but I'm going to try to et ack through this evil sludge ventually.

Again skipping ove many other enormities in her commentary I have to mention what she said about Trump's deals with Mexico and canada with the tarifs that were put on hold when each country offered troops to guard our mutual borders with them.  Trump thinks of himself as a deal maker, that's his business way of thinking that he usues to good effect in politics it seems to me.   I don't have a clear idea what the tarifs were supposed to acomplish except that apparently both Mexico and canada were taking advantage of us in some way or other with our trade agreements.  but it's also possible that what Trump really wantsed was their commitments to help protect the borders which is one his biggest campaign promises and high on his list to get accompolished as soon as possible.  With ten thousand troops coming from Maxico to help on the southern border, and ten thousand from Canada to help on the honorthern border he's making a lot of headway on the problem of illegal immigration and getting our neighbors infolved di is a big plus is seems to me.  But Richardson doesn't even mention the agreement to give their trroops to the border problem.  She just seems to enjoy making it sound like Trump has wrecked our relations with Maexico and canada.  Not so sure about that.  Bother off them moved very rapidly to offer troops when he slammed down on the tarifs.  SLooks to me like we're getting a better relatioship with each of them than we had.  

Back to the beginning for a vey brief comment I hope.  She's talking about how we supposedly don'[t have the voter fraud voter ID is intended to fix.  Well from what I've heard we have a lot of it, lots of illegal aliens being given voter registration.  Lots.  She says flatly not true.  Well, I say flatly sorry your're wrong.    She says that there is election fraud however, such as laws that make fraud easier and voter suppression and all that.  Here again what we have is a case of what the leftg has been doing imputed to the right by a leftist, standard tactic.   Laws were changed very rapidly to favor the left in a number of astates right before the election that Trump supposedly lost to Biden.   That subject is way too much for this little post but  let's just say there a ton of evidence of all kinds of fraud against Trump that isn't all that hard to track down.

So she's describing this voter ID bill and mentions that passports are one of the ways identifcation can be verified for the purpose.  And goes on about how hard it is to get a passport as if a passport were required which of course it is not.  All they say is that it can be used oif you happen to have one but like a good leftie she has to confuse things and imply something false as long as it will make the right look bad.  Then she says there is a big prolem for women whose names were changed upon marriage because you can't use a birth certificate which has our birth name and not your married name.  Well then add yoru marriage certificate.  But actually if your first name and middle name are the same and it's on your other forms of ID such as your driver's license that you are the age and have the birth date on the certificate, I doubt there is much of a problem but of course she'd like to come up with a problem if she can.  Well, if there is a problem I'm sure because I know Trump and Musk and all his team to be honest people who only want to do what's betst for the country, that they would be very happy to make whatever accommocatesion s can be made to make it all easier.    I think she just loves to make up problems though.  It's fun for lefties to make things up and truth is just not fun for them.

Again at the part of her talk where she is saying tht democracy is built onh equal access to resources, and this is jyust plain wrong.  I can see how you might be able to use the idea to merge into a communist mentality at some point, but for now she's making it a pillar of democracy for some reason and that it most ertainly is not.  What does it even mean.  her first example are about people monopolizing resources, having more access to resources than others do which she says threatens democracy.  No, there is nothing in our founding documents that even hints at such a thing as equal access to resources.  It's simply impossible.  there are many ways that some people will always rise above others in any form of government due to circumstances or different abilities.  You simply cannot form a govfverment on the idea of equality in those areaas because it is impossible.  People are different.  Those with a talent to earn great ewealth by kowing how to find and produce some resources are naturally going to have greater access that others don't have and it's ridiculous to think tht the Constitution or anyh law in the land could forbid such a thinkg.  Yes retstraints and regulation are are needsed to contain monopolies that put others at a disadvantage, that's always going to be the case in a fallen world, but that isn't going to change the basic differences between opportunities and abilities that is just polain natural to humanity.  You can't make a [laying field even on this particular ground.  Justice for sure ,, equal justice for all,  equal opportities for educatiohn and jobs and all that but it still is a matter of having to compete for some positioins.  Education should be available to all, sure, but not jobs.  Jobs are defined by parituclar skills and some people have them and others don't.    You simply cannot talk the way Richardson talks about these things.  She's wrong wrong awrong and she just goes on blitheley asserting it without any discussion of its realities, just assertion as usual.  Utter nonsense.  Pernicious nonsense.


We are promised a right to life liberty and the pursuit of happiness, and several enumerated freedoms, or speech, assembly, nd so on, we are not promised any sort of equality that depends on qualities that are different in each person.If you are talking about things like water, food , fuel and so on  the government is definitely supposed to provide for such needs, provide for the beneral welfare, make such things accessible in some general sort of way, but they can't promkise you steak if all you can afford is hamburger.  

I may have to take some of that back I realize.   Government can't promise us access to food, that's something the people themselves have to do.  I'm falling for some kind of big government idea here I think.  Oh well.  The govefnment is there to keep the paths open to what we need, maybe that's the way to say it.   

Then she goes on to claim that people on the Right are propagandists and bringing down the country as a result.  This is another case of imputing to the Right what is true of the Left.  They are the propagandists and she's certainly one of them.   Mostly badmouthing the Right as usual too, that's the biggest propaganda the Left does.  

That's certainly the case with the big fat false accusation of racism.  it's the Left, the Democrats, who have always been the racists, and the Right has been on the other side.  It was the Democrats who started the Civil war and defendied slavery.  it was the democrats who established the Jim Crow laws.  It was the Democrats who fought efforts at breaking up segregation and extending civil rights to blacks.  It was Republicans who put forward the civil rights law, not Democrats who in fact fought it, and were those who interfered with chidlren in the South being allowed to integrate in the schools.   republicnas have lsways held to Licoln's antislavery and anti racist policies.  


Early Monday morning:  Just a last note;  one of the things that she says that is most reprehensible is her aping of  remarks that were made about Biden when his mind was so clearly in decline during the campaign period.  She says Trump's mind is just not there, that he's not in charge because he isn't mentally competent and taht someone else has to be running things for that reason. l this is such a hideous lie I don't know how the woman can live with herself.  trump is very sharp and nobody is in charge but himself and we are all impressed with just HOW in charge he is and how swiftly he is acting to carry out his campaign poromises.     the Left is just plain diswgusing the things they are willing to say just to smer Trump and MAGA people.

She's using exactlyu the same words that wree used to describe Biden as he was clearly deteriorating, although there isn't  ashred of ahint of anything like that going one with Trump at all.   Evil stuff for sure.

TRUMP AS IN TRUMPET

Signs of the End Times that some of us are feeling to be closing in on us these days, are the rpominent place of Israel in the news, wars and rumors of wars which are also in the news every day lately, Ukraine versus Russia but a feeling of rumblings behind the scenes from other directions too.  the increase over the lst decade or so of a particularly malevolent kind of immoral mental set, such as in the idea that biolobical males should be allowed to be treated as female if that is what they hap0pen to want, and allowed to compete against biolobical females in sports as if biology didn't matter, their greater tstrength  meaning nothing at all while what they imagine to be the case is taken for rality.  And allowed to be in locker rooms with the opposite biological sex.  This is so insane it is hard to imaexplain how it could ever have come to this.   Criticical race theory which brands the whawhite race as inherently racist is a profound evil that has also been growing over the last few years.  Trump and his wonderful group of cabinet members and other helpers is p0ushing back on these things, but they are continuing in the world and wherever his administration can'[t yet reach, if it ever will be able to.  We hope but who kjows.  there are also earthquakes and eceptionally powerful weather events latelyh, nothing that hasn'[t existed before butr a lot of them it seems coming close together.  Disasters like the plane crases.  Universityh students supporting the vicious Islamists against the Jews.  This is a big one I should have put first.  


These things are unprecedented in history I think.  If I'm wrong I'd like to hear when and where it ever happened before that such things were part of the public discourse let alone strongly supported morally righteous positions that are of course the exact opposite of morallyh righteous.  Sheer evil.


I pray a lot of the success of Trump and the side of true righteousness to prevail, as I'm sure many others are also doing.    Prayer got him into office and it is clear that God is blessing our effdorts and his.  We just keep praying and hoping.  It was a miracle that kept him from an aassassin's bullet.  


But the evil trends are the signs that we re in the end times.  If they get pushed back for a while, horroray, it will mean that the end times are not quite as close as we thought, but its hard to believe theyh are just going to go away.  


And now as I wrote about in my previous post I'[m thinking there are signs that we could avhave the true Antichrist in place in a fvery short time.  Yes I'm big on signs and portents, symbols.  The thirteens in the story of Pope francis are a big symbolic portent to my mind.  So many of them all clustered together.  And next year in March I see aother one coming.  Sure I could be getting carried away playing with ideas that don'[t really mean what I htinki they could mean.  Sure.  But boy do they look pregnant with meaning to me.  


And now I'm tyhinknging again fo the name Trump.  When he first came to my attention my first thought was yes, here comes the Last Trumpet.  tta's what the name suggests.  the last trumpet is when the end times begin in power, when the Church is rapture d away and the Antichrist comes to reign and the seven ear tribultion gets underway before the return of Jesus Christ.  


Names in the Bible usually have some meaning attached to them, often connected with the history of Isxrael.  God gives Hosea names for his three children for instance which point to particular events and istuations on the prophetic calendar for His people.   God certainly does give signs and symbols of prophetic happenings.  \


\the film the Star of Bethlehem which can be found at You tube is an exploration of the signs God put in the sky to mark the events of the first coming of Jesus the Messiah.  Many events in the sky from constellationsof the Zodiac and planets  including moon and sun within them.  Could make your hair stND ON END.  


sO i TRY NOT TO TAKE MY OWN MUSINGS TOO SERIOUSLY BUT BOY ARE THESE A BUNCH OF THINGS IT'S HARD NOT TO TAKE SERIOUSLY.    


wATCH, hE COMANDS US.  wAT CHH, DON'T BE ASLEEP DURING THIS TIME.  iT COULD ALL BEGIN IN A BLINDING FLASH AND IF YOU ARE ASLEEP YOU COULD MISS IT.

kEEPING AN eYE ON THE sICK pOPE

 iT'S BEEN, WHAT , A COUPLE OF WEEKS NOW i THINK, SINCE pOPE fRANCIS CAME DOWN WITH BRONCHITIES, WHICH TURNED TO DOUBLE PNEUMONIA IN THE LAST FEW DAYS.  sINCE i'VEW BEEN MAINTAINING THAT THIS pOPE COULD VERY WELL BE THE FINAL aNTICHRIST DURIN GTHE tRIBULATION PERIOD THAT SO MANY OF US FEEL IS IMMINENT, i'M PATICULARLY INTERESTED IN HOW HE FARES DURING THIS ILLNESS.  hE'S EIGHTEY EIGHT AND DOUBLE PNEUMONIA IS A PRETTY SERIOUS CONDITION AT THAT AGE.  iF HE DIES OF COURSE MY PREDICTION, SUCH AS IT IS, i MEAN i DON'T CLAMP DOWN HARD ON IT BECAUSE WHO KNOWS, i JUST DO THINK IT IS VERY LIKELY, ANYWAY THAT PREDICTION FALLS PARAT IF HE DIES.  END OF MY CANDIDATE FOR THE FINAL aNTICHRIST.


pOPE fRANCIS STRUCK ME FROM THE BEGINNING AS A PSECIALLY GOOD CANDIDATE FOR THE ROLE FOR MANY REASONS.  tHE DAY HE WAS ELECTED WAS FULL OF LITTLE PORTENTS OR SMBOLS FOR INSTANCE, BEING THE THIRTEENTH DAY OF THE THIRD MONTH OF THE YEAR TWENTY THIRTEEN, AND EVEN THE HOUR CARRIED THE PORTENT BECAUSE IT COUNTS TO SIX SIX SIX IF YOU TURN THE HOUR INTO MINUTES.  i'M FORGETTING HOW THAT ADDED UP BUT i DID WRITE A POST ON IT BACK AT THE TIME WHICH SHOULD BE EASY ENOUGH TO FIND.  tRY CHIMNEY OR WHITE SMOKE OR SEAGULL IN THE SEARCH BOS.   i'LL TRY IT MYSELF AFTER i WRITE THIS.


yES i LIKE SUCH SYMBOLISM AND IN THIS CASE IT JUMPS OUT AT YOU, YOU DON'T HAVE TO FORCE IT.  jUST AS YOU DON'T HAVE TO FORCE THE NUMBER SIX SIX SIX AS THE SUM OF THE ROMAN nUMBERALS IN ONE OF THE TITLE S OF THE pOPE, WHICH i'VE ALSO POSTED ON MANY TIMES HERE.   THE VERY TITLE OF THE pOPE, vICAR OF gOD, SORRY vICAR OF cHRIST, IS A NAME OF THE aNTICHRIST, YOU ALMOST DON'T NEED TO BOTHER WITH ANYOTHER PROOFS, BUT FOR THE TITLE IN lATIN TO ADD UP TO THAT INFAMOUS NUIMBER FORM rEVELATION tHIRTEEN IS STRONG CONFIRMATION.   aND THEN pOPE fRANCIS TURNS OUT TO BE ONE OF HE MOST UNcHRISTIAN, EVEN aNTICchRISTIAN pOPES WHO EVER ASCENDED TO THAT PAGAN OFFICE.   tHE pROTESTANT rEFORMERS IDENTIFIED THE pOPOES, THE PAPACY ITSELF, AS THE SEAT OF aNTICHRIST, ALTHOUGH IT TOOK THEM SOME STRUGGLING WITH THE SCRIPTURE TO FINALLY SEE IT, AND MANY OF THE DISSIDENT cHRISTIANS DOWN THE CENTURIES, SUCH AS THE wALDENISIANSNS, IDENTIFIED THE pOPE AS aNTICHRIST.  cHRIS pINTO DID A STUDY OF THAT WHICH i THINK CAN BE FOUND AT HIS SITE, nOISE OF tHUNDER rADIO OR aDULLAM fILMAZS, AND i DID A POST ON THAT TOO, THOUGH i'M NOT SURE WHAT SEARCH TERMS WOULD WORK IN THAT CASE.  bECAUSE OF MY BLINDNESS i CAN'T USE THE TAG WRODS AT THE BOTTOM OF A BPOST TO HELP LOCATE POSTS WHICH IS A BIG HANDICAPT.  


sO i'VE BEEN PATING ATTENTION TO THE NEWS ABOUT THIS pOPE'S CURRENT ILLNESS.  tHE LATEST i'VE HEARD IS THAT HE SEEMS TO BE DOING A LITTLE BIT BETTER, HAS NO FEVER AND STABLE BLOOD WORK.  i DON'T PRAY ABOUT THE ISTUATION AT ALL BECAUSE OF MY PREDICTION OF COURSE, EXCEPT THAT gOD'S WILL BE DONE, BUTG i'VE BEEN PRETTY SURE ALL ALONG THAT HE'S GOING TO RECOVER BECAUSE i REALLY DO THINK THE rEFOREMRS HASD IT RIGHT ABOUT THE pAPACY AS THE aNTICHRIT AND THE SYMBOLISM THAT HAS ACCOMPANIED THIS PARTICULAR pOPE  IS JUST TOO HEAVY TO IGNORE.   i COULD BE WRONG NEVERTHELEDSS BUT MY OVERALL INCLINATION IS TOWARD HIS COMPLETE RECOVERY.  


aS i WAS THINKING ABOUT ALL THIS A COUPLE NIGHTS AGO i WAS AGAIN PONDERING HIS AGE WHICH MAKES IT IFFY THAT HE COULD LIVE LONG ENOUGH TO PALAY THE ROLE OF aNCICHRIST.  pEOPLE ARE LIVING LONGER THESE DAYS THOUGH SO LIVING EVEN INTO HIS NINETIES ISN[T TERRIBLY UNLIKELY.    aS i WAS PONDERING ALL THIS i REALIZED THAT NECXT YEAR ON THE ANNIVERSARY OF HIS ELECTION TO THE PAPACY COULD BE A TELLING DATE BECAUSE THE YEAR TWENTY SIX IS TWICE THIRTEEN, MAKING THE DATE THE THIRD MONTH THE THIRTEENTH DAY OF THE DOUBLE THIRTEENTH YEAR.  sOMETHING COULD HAPPEN ON THAT DATE.  THAT COULD BE THE DAY HE CONFIRMS THE COVERNANT WITH iSRAEL PERHAPS, WHICH IS FORESHADOWED IN THE BOOK OF dANIEL, CHAPTER HINE?   yOU HAVE TO STARTED COUNTING DAYS AT THAT POINT IF YOU THINK OF THAT AS THE FIRST DAY OF THE SEVENTIETH YEAR, OSWSZORRY WEEK OF dANIEL, SEVENTIETH WEEK OF dANIEL, WHICH IS THE SAME AS THE SEVEN YEAR TRIBULATION PERIOD.  THE NUMBERS IN DANIEL COUNT DOWN A THREE AND AHALF YEAR PERIOD WHICH IS UNDERSTOOD TO BEGIN AT THE MIDPOINT OF THE tRIBULTION AND BE THE STARTING POINT OF THE great tRIBULATION WHICH THE lORD SAYS WOULD WIPE OUT ALL HUMANITY IF gOD DIDN'T SHORTEN IT.   aT THAT IDPOINT, AT LEAST ACORDING OT THE eND tIMES SYSTEM KNOWN AS tHE pRE TRIBULATION rAPTURE SYSTEM,   DRAT OST TRACK OF MY TRAIN OF THOUGHT.  


iTS GONE, i CAN'T RECOVER IT RIGHT NOW.  anYWAY, THE RAPTURE SHOUDL OCCUR SOMETIE BEFORE THE COVERANTN MADE BY TGHE aNTICHRIST WITH iSRAEL, SO ANYTIE BETWEEN NOW AND NEXT YEAR ON THAT mARCH DATE.  aLL THE TRUE cHRISTIANS WILL BE RAPTURED OFF THE PLANETAND THOSE WHO ARE LEFT WILL ALL BE UNBELIEVERS, WHICH UNFORTUNATELY WILL INCLUE MOST cATHOLICS AS THEY HAVE NOT BEEN TAUGHT THE TRUE WAY OF SALVATION, WHICH PUTS ALL TRUST IN cHRIST hIMSELF.  THEY ARE BURDEDNED D BWITH ALL SORTS OF PAGAN BAGGAGE SUCH AS PARRAYERS TO mARY AND THE cATHOLIC sANITS, .  tHEY NED TO LEARN SCRIPTURE WHICH MAKES IT CLEAR THAT SALVATION IS BY cHRIST ALONE THORUGH FAITH ALONE, ALL GOOD DEEDS ACONTRIBUTING NOTHING TO THE BLESSING.  gOOD DEEDS ARE THE RESULT, NJOT TH E THE CAUSE. OF DSALVATION.    i PRAY FOR MANYH OF THOSE DECEIVED cARTHOLICS TO COME TO THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRUTH, ALONG WITH ALL THE OTHER UNBELIEVERS WHO WILL ALSO BE ALIVE DURING THE TRIBULTION PERIOD WHEN THE aNTICHRIST BECOMES THE RULER OF THE WROLD.


sO SYMBOLISM OF TH SORT THAT ATTACHES TO THIS pOPE DOES SEEM TO BME TO BE PRETTY PORTENTOUS BUT AGAIN i COULD BE WRONG.  hOWEVER, IF i'M RIGHT, AND PERHAPS i'M NOT ALONE WITH THIS i JUST DON'T KNOW, cHRIS pINTO MAY BE SAYING SOMETHING SIMILAR THOUGH I CAN'T EGET TO HIS SITE ANY MNORE.  aNYWAY THE TRIBULTION WOULD START NEXT YEAR IN mARCH, THE aNTICHRIST WOULD SHOW HIS COLORS IN HORRIFIC STRENGTH ABOUT sEPTEMBER THIRTEENTH OF TWENTY NINE, AND jESUS WOULD RETURN AROUND mARCH OF tHIRTY THREE, BUT READ THE RELEVANT CHAPTERS OF dANIEL AND COUNT VERY CAREFULLY.  


i'VE BEEN WRONG ABOUT THE RAPTURE.  oF COURSE WE AREN'T SUPPOSED TO KNOW WHEN THE RAPTURE IS TO OCCUR, AS JESUS TESLLS US, NOT EVEN THE sON KNOWS, ONLY THE fATHER, BUT IF WE'[RE VERY CLOSE AS IT FEELS TO A LOT OF US TO BE THE CASE, THEN WE ARE GOING TO BE LOOKING EUP0 A LOT THESE DAYS AND STARTING TO EXPECT IT ANY MONINUTE.   i STILL LIKE hrOSH hAOSHANAH AS A LIKELY DATE ENVEN THOUGH i KWNOW WE AREN'T TO KNOWN THE TIME,  o i'TS HARD TO IMAGINE THAT A N EVNENT AS MOMENTOUS ASNTSAS THE rAPTURE WOUDN'T OCCUR ON ONE OF THE hIGH hOLY dAYS.  bUT AGAIN, i COULD BE WRONG.  i WAS WRONG WHEN i THOUGH IT COULD HAPPEN A FEW YEARS AGO AND IT DIDN'T.  aND i'M NOT GOING TO PREDICT IT AGAIN THE SAME WAY.  bUT i DO LIKE THIS SCENARIO i'[M DESCRIBING HER FOR THE RISE OF THE aNTICHRIST.  iF THE pRE tRIB SCENARIO IS RIGHT i WON'T BE HERE FOR THE EVENT, BUT WHOEVER HAPPENS TO READ THIS IF IT DOES HAPPEN COULD WELL BENEFIT FROMT HE KNOWLEDGE, WHICH IS WHAT i ALSWAYS HOPE WILL BE THE RESULT OF MYH POSTS.


cOME, lORD jESUS.



lATER:  aNOTHER PART OF TH E PORTENT i MANAGED TO LEAVE OUT IS THAT NEXT YEAR'S ANNIVERSARY OF THE pOPE'S ELECTION IS ALSO THE THIRTEENTH ANNIVERSAYRY, THIRTEEN YEARS SINCE THE ELECTION ALONG WITH THE THIRTEENS IN THE DATE ITSELF MAKING QJUITE A SYBOLIC EXPLISION OF SORTS DON'[T YOU THINK?
