Next Pope: John Paul II--7 Reasons

New Pope Expected to be John Paul II: 7 Reasons

In a spectacle of intrigue, the Vatican is at the focus of world attention as it meets to choose the next pope. Speculation is rampant, but God is not taken by surprise and the Bible offers clues that might surprise us–it might even take our breath away. Here are clues suggesting the next pope could be the much-loved John Paul II.

#1. The Bible likens governments to political cartoons described as beasts. In Revelation 13:1, the apostle John saw a beast with seven heads arising. Early Americans believed this beast was the papacy. It was an amalgamation of the four beasts from Daniel 7 that it had survived.

Arising as it did with seven heads, it is easy to compare it with the seven kings in Revelation 17:10, because the head of the papal church wears a crown as a king. And one of the heads (kings) was “wounded to death,” Revelation 13:3. Until Benedict, all recent popes have been wounded by death. John Paul II was also wounded by a would-be assassin, but that wound was not “to death.” To be “wounded to death” and have his deadly wound healed implies a resurrection!

#2. John Paul II was the sixth pope since Mussolini reinstated the papacy in the Vatican. As the sixth, he gets special attention in Revelation 17:10 where “five are fallen, one is [John Paul II] and the other is not yet come….and must continue a short space.” Benedict was the “short space” [7th] pope.

#3. The eighth is [one] “of the seven” in Revelation 17:11, but it does not specify which one. We might guess that since John Paul II was so well recognized by the world, he could be the one.

#4. A resurrection of John Paul II would fit “all the world wondered after the beast,” Revelation 13:3.

#5. Hours after Benedict announced that he would resign, lightning struck the Vatican. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U4qdo0e8ECE Christ said, “I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.” Luke 10:18. Perhaps we can see in this event the true identity of a resurrected John Paul II who will be charismatic, “sitting in the temple…showing himself that he is God,” 2 Thessalonians 2:4.

#6. There is strange activity below the Vatican where John Paul II is buried. A bright light filled the room on February 27 and expectations are high. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hGgg1jKehYI

#7. In a Vatican so beset by scandals in banking, pedophilia and homosexuality, the papacy offers a poor image to the world. How better to recover a deadly wound than a resurrection that only God would seem to be behind? It would be most amazing for the “Vicar of Christ” to be resurrected as Christ was, and it would help solve some Vatican public relations problems.

None of this information should be taken as a condemnation of sincere Christians who are following Christ as best as they know. We are living when “the times of [our] ignorance, God winks,” but we also see we are coming to a time of judgment when we must repent and be open to Bible truth, because “my people are destroyed for lack of knowledge,” Hosea 4:6.

May God help us to be like the Bereans who searched the Scriptures daily to avoid the deceptions that are coming with lightning speed.      # # #

      I failed to get the picture inserted into the article, but you can see it here above the article–

      Except the church didn’t rule kingdoms, kings did. And kings needed the church to give themselves the right to be kings. They were born heirs to kingdoms so god must have wanted them to rule.

      Even Henry 8th of England couldn’t destroy the church completely because he would have also destroyed the excuse used for the existence of dictators.

      The church was forever competing with kings accumulating wealth by accusing people of heresy, imprisoning and confiscating all their wealth. There is a good reason why they are so wealthy because they did this to untold millions of people. Then tortured their victims into confessing to being evil followed by publicly executing them, burned alive.

      That is ‘wounded in the head’ as in a complete psychopath. Not as in physically wounded in the head. :lol:

        Yeats. The Second Coming

        TURNING and turning in the widening gyre
        The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
        Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
        Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
        The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
        The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
        The best lack all conviction, while the worst
        Are full of passionate intensity.

        Surely some revelation is at hand;
        Surely the Second Coming is at hand.
        The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out
        When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi
        Troubles my sight: somewhere in sands of the desert
        A shape with lion body and the head of a man,
        A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
        Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
        Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds.
        The darkness drops again; but now I know
        That twenty centuries of stony sleep
        Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
        And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
        Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?

      The “scandals” supposedly rocking the Vatican are routine problems in an imperfect world inhabited by frail human beings. I think the Vatican is doing a great job propagating the one true faith despite all the criticism it receives by minions of hell such as Pix.

      The notion of the late Pope John Paul II being resurrected from the dead to continue leading the Church is far-fetched to say the least.

      • Troll King

        It never fails to amaze me that people are so willing to believe in such rubbish and take it as truth! There must be a whole mass of people out there with zero common sense! That is a scary thing indeed!!!

      • Pharisees.org

        According to the doctrine of the evil one, Paul the false apostle, spiritual rulers are appointed by God to watch out for souls and that Gentiles are to give their complete obedience and submission to their spiritual rulers (Hebrews 13:7, 13:17).

        When the Babylon whore’s spiritual rulers show themselves for what they are, gay, pedophiles, thieves, drug dealers and other assorted evil doings, then it’s we are all just frail. Why have spiritual offices is the first place then?

        Still can’t figure out that the lay people with spiritual rulers over them is not of God. Christ says all are brethren who obey him (Matthew 23:8-10). Christ says a brother can turn away from Christ at any time by doing evil and not repenting (Matthew 18:15-17). That is why Christ NEVER established a system of lay people with spiritual rulers over them.

        I challenge anyone to show from the doctrine of Christ, as recorded by Matthew and John, where Christ established Gentile altars, Eucharist and spiritual rulers. It’s no where but in the false gospel of the false apostle and Pharisee, Paul.

      Ruhling is a convert to the doctrine of the false apostle. He can’t allege stupidity if he is a doctor as he claims. He is just not of God because he knows Apostle John says those who do evil are not of God (3 John 1:11), but Ruhling chooses to follow a man who says he does evil (Romans 7:19) because does not know God.
