112TH POPE?

St. Malachy (1094-1148) was an Irish saint and archbishop of Amagh. It is claimed that he was given a vision of 112 popes to come, from 1144, and then the coming of Christ.

It is claimed that these "prophecies" were hidden in the vatican library until discovered in 1590.

The prophecy consisted of short vague descriptions of each of the popes until the last; number 112. The 112th pope had the longest of all descriptions saying:

"In the final persecution of the Holy Roman Church there will reign Peter the Roman, who will feed his flock among many tribulations; after which the seven-hilled city will be destroyed and the dreadful Judge will judge the people."

Pope Benedict XVI was pope number 111. With his resignation, a new pope will be determined; that 112th pope.

In a 1969 version of Malachy's prophecies, Archbishop H. E. Cardinale, the apostolic nuncio to Belgium and Luxembourg, wrote "it is fair to say the vast majority of Malachy's predictions about successive Popes is amazingly accurate – always remembering that he gives only a minimum of information."

Understanding this “prophecy”, eyes are really starting to look towards the vatican; but is this just another 12.21.12, another Y2K?. Recent developments has peaked my interest.

Cardinal Bertone, second in charge, directly under the pope, as temporarily taken the seat of the pope, until a new pope is determined. Cardinal Bertone is on the short list. The prophecy calls the 112th pope “Peter of Rome”. Could Bertone be the next pope? Is the “prophecy” accurate?

Cardinal Bertone was born and raised in Italy, he is a natural born Roman citizen. His full name is Tarcisio Pietro Evasio Bertone. If you have not caught the second name, it is Peter in English. Thus, he is a “Peter of Rome”

This will definitely be interesting to see what happens from here.

There are two problems I’m having here though. Would God give prophecy to an apostate church who is identified in both Daniel and Revelations as the little horn, beast power who sits upon the seven hills? I don’t believe He would. It is quite possible that one of two scenario’s is taking place. This is just my belief, but I’ll explain why.

Is it a demonic prophecy, one given by the dark side of the spiritual world. Many would say, how would they know when the end will be; Christ said only God know the day and the hour. Yes, but Christ also said His people would know when the time is near; and scripture shows satan and his demons know when the time is near.

Matthew 8:29 (KJV) 29 And, behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God? art thou come hither to torment us before the time?

Like the children of God, who will know when the time is near, the demons also know that time; it’s obvious they knew long before man did.

Why would there be a demonic prophecy to the beast power? Signs and wonders, but we’ll get to this in a moment.

The other scenario that could be happening is a forgery that was released in the 1500’s and a lining up of popes to fit the vague descriptions.

The catholic church is the mother of all forgers and it’s been proven that many forgeries were done and still exist from their hands. Donation of Constantine, Decretals of Isidore, and Dictates of papai are just to name a few of many document forgeries. They also created the hoax of the piltdown man to which Jesuit Priest Teilhard De Chardin assisted as co-conspirator. From the piltdown man hoax came the big bang theory, in efforts to build upon the piltdown man; this was created by Jesuit Priest Georges Lemaitre.

“Jesuitism has poisoned the wellsprings of truth in the whole world” Carlyle, as cited in “The Jesuits and their Plot to Destroy Britain”

“For seven centuries, the Greeks had called Rome the home of forgeries. Whenever they tried talking with Rome, the Popes brought out forged documents... which the Greeks, naturally, had never seen.” Peter De Rosa (Former Jesuit Priest), Vicars of Christ, The Dark Side of the Papacy

“...so far back as 1828, this trade was going on... with pieces of bones of sheep, and hares or of human bones taken from the catacombs, but such as were probably those of pagans, certainly not of saints and martyrs, whose names they affixed to them.” “The Jesuits play a prominent part in these transactions as they do in most Catholic affairs.” Charles Spurgeon, cited in “Geese in their Hoods.” pp.117-119

The signs and wonders of the little horn beast power is meant to show the authority of the church. The reason of the forgeries were to give authority above all churches and governments. The reason satan may give a prophecy is to give a show of power and authority to the catholic church. Through these deceptions, they can keep people deceived and drawn towards the mother of the apostate system or make them cling harder to the daughter, the harlot, of that system. Therefore, don’t take too much heart in it. Rather, be prepared no matter what; for no one knows their last day. For this we should be digging as gold, in the Word of God; to know what true salvation is, to be ready for that last day.
