The Vatican downplayed the significance of the alleged plot.
“From what it appears, this concerns a hypothesis that dates from 2010 which didn’t occur. It has therefore no relevance today and no reason for particular concern,” said the Rev. Federico Lombardi, the Vatican spokesman.
But what does exist is also evident in recent news accounts from the Holy capitol of the Catholic world..
There is no doubt that Popes have always been global targets for terror and threats.. but this Pope seemingly has captured the imagination of the faithful but also the hated of others..
The 2010 Vatican threat now released to the public is only a reminder of the threats which exist–threats that have been openly discussed for months as the Pope continues to speak out about the atrocities committed by ISIS ..
Now the DAILY BEAST is reporting about officials in Rome having no clue how to deal with the threat of ISIS, but being very concerned about their potential advance from Libya to Italy..
Last weekend in Italy, as the threat of ISIS in Libya hit home with a new video addressed to “the nation signed with the blood of the cross” and the warning, “we are south of Rome,” Italian prime minister Matteo Renzi shuttered up the Italian embassy in Tripoli and raised his fist with the threat of impending military action. Never mind that Italy has only 5,000 troops available that are even close to deployable, according to the defense ministry. Or that the military budget was cut by 40 percent two years ago, which has kept the acquisition of 90 F-35 fighter jets hanging in the balance and left the country combat-challenged to lead any mission—especially one against an enemy like the Islamic State.
In fact, Renzi didn’t specify exactly who would wield that military might, and, two days later, when no one volunteered to lead the charge, he backtracked. “It’s not the time for a military intervention,” Renzi told an Italian television station Monday night and said the United Nations had to lead the way. “Our proposal is to wait for the UN Security Council. The strength of the UN is decidedly superior to that of the radical militias.”
Among the notable facts reported: Libya is just 109 miles away from the island of Lampedusa and 300 miles from Sicily..
There is an increased security presence outside Rome’s American embassy on Via Veneto and the Libyan embassy on Via Nomentana..
The most recent beheading video released by ISIS showcases Coptic Christians meeting their collective and bloody demise.. The threat of the video was that ISIS was going to Europe next. And the goal: Rome.
The Vatican.
The Pope.
The war of religions in our modern times..
Lots of eyebrows have suddenly been raised to what we have been saying: Prophecy is playing out in real life. However, it may not be due to divine inspiration, but instead because ISIS is paying attention to prophecy and wants to accelerate what it deems as the end times.
The name of the Dabiq magazine itself helps us understand ISIS’ worldview. The Syrian town of Dabiq is where the Prophet Mohammed is supposed to have predicted that the armies of Islam and “Rome” would meet for the final battle that will precede the end of time and the triumph of true Islam.
In the recent issue of Dabiq it states: “As the world progresses towards al-Malhamah al-Kubrā, (‘the Great Battle’ to be held at Dabiq) the option to stand on the sidelines as a mere observer is being lost.” In other words, in its logic, you are either on the side of ISIS or you are on the side of the Crusaders and infidels.
When American aid worker Peter Kassig was murdered by ISIS in November, “Jihadi John” — the masked British murderer who has appeared in so many ISIS videos — said of Kassig: “We bury the first crusader in Dabiq, eagerly waiting for the rest of your armies to arrive.”
In other words, ISIS wants a Western ground force to invade Syria, as that will confirm the prophecy about Dabiq.
This may be tough to ponder for a more secular world.
A wide spectrum of religions, however, understand the deal quite well.. If these human sacrifices continue, and the Pope is in danger, a veil of darkness will descend over this world.. depending on your point of view, either Jesus comes back as the Judge, or Islam will be the true religion that inherits the earth.
So here we are, in a time when modern convenience is plenty and the joys of technology is often unparalleled. All the while, beheadings and burnings are being conceived by other humans–humans not at all rational.. Instead of projecting the intelligence of evolution and modern maturity, we are being taken back to the middle ages.. For so many right now under the leadership of ISIS, the dark ages are ruling..
With each step closer to Rome, I fear the steps will be closer to two different branches of faith believing that end times are upon us.. Sadly, many Christians will throw their hands up and wait for a rapture that, logic tells us, will not occur. Instead we will be faced to deal with death and a hell on earth.
There are some very strange currencies in the world.. the Pope may be debating whether dogs go to heaven and what limits on the freedom of speech should exist when discussing religion, but there is something far more supernatural potentially happening..
I read a report in the CATHOLIC WORLD REPORT concerning whether a “future pope may be forced to flee Rome” ..
The perspective is obvious.. the source is a Catholic paper, so don’t expect anything to deviate from doctrine.. But Kirkpatrick wrote one thing that caused me pause:
“If Rome ever falls to Islam, the pope—whoever he may be at that time—may choose to remain in Rome and suffer the almost certain martyrdom that would follow. That is up to him and the Holy Spirit. However, in light of the escalating Islamization of Europe, it would seem prudent for Vatican officials to draw up some contingency plans.”
There is one thing that chilled me with that statement..
“In the final persecution of the Holy Roman Church there will reign Peter the Roman, who will feed his flock amid many tribulations, after which the seven-hilled city will be destroyed and the dreadful Judge will judge the people. The End..”
“What I have seen was terrible… Will it be myself? Will it be my successor? What is certain is that the Pope will quit Rome, and in fleeing from the Vatican he will have to walk over the dead bodies of his priests. Do not tell anyone while I amalive.”
This is why seeing articles about a Pope fleeing Rome is a bit chilling when considering the tidal wave of prophecy portending a final Pope among us..
It is a longstanding theological question–one with no scientific answer since, quite frankly, there’s no proof of any afterlife or beforelife to begin with. But it certainly is interesting to contemplate.
The real question may not be whether Fido or Whiskers accompanies you on your journey into the afterlife, but if rabbits breed like Catholics in heaven..?
Jim Jones, someone who was politically heralded for many years and supported by money of the elite, spoke words during an eerie and bizarre final ceremony at the compound telling his flock that they will be dead anyway so there’s no other way to die and by taking his poison drink. He spoke of it as though it was a religious ritual which would save them from judgment and speak to the world. He said it was an act of defiance to the cruel world–a message to the entire planet from the small branch of imprisoned souls who could not escape the evil clutch of the man who wanted them all to die..
Jonestown spoke to the world, and still does. It is the most deplorable of the calamities to befall a large group of people who originally wanted to be free of evil of worldly possessions and embrace God. Instead they died because of a delusional madman. Jonestown is an obvious lesson about how dangerous some religious pimps can be. Jones was not a man of God, but quite the opposite. During his final moments of recorded audio his voice sounded like it was possessed by some other worldy demon, it was a strange and unusual and cryptic few moments in time, moments that live in infamy. While people were dying and convulsing and paint before him, he continued to paint a picture that they were doing it in the form of a mass protest that could grant them entrance to the Kingdom of Heaven.
In the end, he was not even brave enough to drink his own Kool-Aid, shooting himself instead, obviously seeing the fate of others and the slow and painful death they encountered.
That is why today when I heard the words of Louis Farrakhan, Jim Jones came flashing back to my mind’s eye..
I don’t offer the story is any commentary on the Ferguson Missouri situation, nor do I take any position at this time about officer Darren Wilson or the shooting death of Michael Brown. That debate is for websites other than this, it’s not my purpose here and this is not the venue …But what I do want to show you all this startling video of what Farrakhan had to say:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=97Y9FjtQ5Wc
He wants his flock to die for something.. He wants to ‘tear’ the country up.. the strangest part of the video was Farrakhan’s face as he spoke of the death of the people seated in front of him:
The face of glee
It would certainly appear that Mr. Farrakhan was filled with some sort spiritual presence in the “we’re going to die anyway” statement, his eyes lighting up as though he was seeing spirits before his face. His sheer jubilation could not be masked when he mentioned that babies should be taught how to throw bottles instead of just sucking on the tip for milk, and he grew even more insane looking as his face contorted when he was filled with some sort of an exuberance about the thought of people who follow him dying in some sort of act of defiance.
Yes, there are times when people made the decision that death was more important than life and that it spoke louder than any words which could have been said during existence. We celebrate those heroes of yesterday, we even celebrate the wounded warriors who come back from war and those who never made it. Their sacrifices for us are immense.. History is filled with the corpses of martyrs and peacemakers …
But there is something very creepy deep down when you hear a minister, a man purported to be spreading the word of God, speaking about how God would want his followers to die. His bright smile at the thought of it makes me wince, and yet again reminded me of how many susceptible people are to fall in line with false prophets who propose a cold of death rather than warm hope..
I really do not think a God, one which would create life and want it to live, would expect people who love that very life to take up arms in violence to kill their fellow brother. But as we see from history, the prophets who pretend that they know what God wants are very quick to tell us to do just that.
Countless reverends tell their congregations to ‘get ready.’ There are both right and left wing God whores who couldn’t get less about scripture..
The official Vatican trade reported that Pope Francis greeted a paralyzed man.. There are several other photos from the day but this one I post just sort of stood out at me. Perhaps it’s because the scenery behind the people listening to Francis speak looked like the gates of hell opening, like fire engulfing the row of people who are peacefully listening to what Bergoglio as to say..
It’s actually a freakish image to me, to be honest. I am sure people smarter than me would know some of the deeper meanings that the statue encapsulates. But I don’t know if I want to know..
While this is pure speculation and conjecture on my part, I wonder of this some type of retribution from extremists in retaliation to the Pope’s very early aggressive stance on ISIS and his calls for war.. Notice those words have been toned down in recent weeks—after news was reported in Italian services of potential threats on Pope Francis’ life..
Another creepy aspect of this crime: The first thing it reminded me of was the movie the SEVENTH SIGN. It feels like lots of seals have been broken and hopefully this isn’t the last. Waiting for locusts. We already have plagues and war..
Get ready television watchers. If you still tune into the TEE VEE screen for your nightly entertainment, a new show may soon grace your safe living space: An NBC exorcism program..
The DOME must be dull.. crime shows are saturating the market.. And as for comedy, nothing is funny anymore.
Cue the doom and get the gloom: The exorcist is knocking.
Here are what trade publications are telling us about this new venture into the paranormal and religious: NBC is going to explore demonic possession in a new program. The network handed out a script called THE POSSESSION OF MAGGIE GILL that follows the Gills, an American middle class family who experience frequent paranormal activity within their Eugene, Oregon home.
The program is being produced by Amblin Television–the same that gave us UNDER THE DOME and EXTANT, among others..
Lately, it would seem, evil is selling on the small screen. ROSEMARY had her baby and the gates of hell opened in the Middle East.
Yes, there may be no connection.. it’s all entertainment, baby. But which comes first? The reality or the making of? The chicken or the egg? Which influences which? You can the judge, jury, and exorciser on that.
In the mean time, the power of Christ is compelling our entertainers to give us more of what we want. Apparently we want monsters, demons, and exorcisms. And lots of them.
