The Final Pope

By Sylvia Bambola Friday, 29 June 2012 14:05:00

Just when you think you’ve heard all the 2012 prophecies, another emerges to be added to the Mayan calendar, the Aztec calendar, the Cherokee calendar, and other 2012 warnings. This one concerns the Pope of Rome.

So what does this prophecy say, and who said it?

A 12th Century Archbishop, Saint Malachy, purportedly received a vision wherein he was given the description of 112 future Popes, then detailed it in a work entitled The Mysterious Prophecy of the Popes. The current Pope Benedict XVI is number 111th, thus the very next Pope will be the 112th.  Of this final Pope, Malachy says this: “In extreme persecution, the seat of the Holy Roman Church will be occupied by Peter the Roman, who will feed the sheep through many tribulations; when they are over, the City of Seven Hills will be destroyed, and the terrible or fearsome Judge will judge his people.”

This Pope is obviously the end-times Pope, the Pope who will oversee the Catholic Church during the seven-year tribulation just prior to the return of the “fearsome Judge” or Jesus, and during which time Rome will be destroyed. It also fingers this end-time Roman Catholic Church as “Mystery Babylon the Great, the Mother of Harlots”, the one that ushers in the great apostasy and sets the stage for a one world religion. Vatican II has already paved the way for that with its ecumenism as evidenced by Pope John Paul II in his 1982 Assisi prayer meeting, which included pagans and voodoo priests, and where he said that voodoo possessed “truth and good, seeds of the Word”.

Over the years several Jesuits have worked hard to debunk Saint Malachy’s prophecy as a forgery, then along came respected Belgium professor and Jesuit, Rene Thibaut (1883-1952), who not only asserted it was a valid prophecy but through elaborate computations put the date of 2012 as the time this final Pope will enter the world stage.

But is it possible? Can the 112th Pope really usher in the end times? Worse yet, can he be the False Prophet of Revelation that Thibaut and others believe him to be?

According to Father Malachi Martin, the answer is “yes”. A Jesuit and eminent Catholic theologian, Martin was a personal friend of Pope Paul VI, and a member of the Vatican Advisory Council, as well as the personal secretary to the celebrated Jesuit Cardinal Augustin Bea. He was also the Vatican researcher on the Dead Sea Scrolls, and spoke seventeen languages. His startling claim is this: an Illuminate-Masonic group (Freemasons) has infiltrated the upper ranks of the Catholic Church and conspires to bring about a one world government. In his book, Windswept House, Martin talked about “prominent clerics who worship Satan” and that “networks . . . had been established between certain clerical homosexual groups and Satanist covens,” hence the world-wide cover-up of pedophile clerics by the church establishment. Martin also talked about a secret ceremony, the “enthronement of Satan”, that took place at the Vatican in 1963 in order to ensure two outcomes: 1) Satan’s control over Rome and 2) a demonically controlled end-time Pope. Martin died under “suspicious” circumstances in 1999 while working on another book connecting the Catholic Church with the New World Order.

If considering a Pope of Rome in the role of the future False Prophet or affiliated in any way with the end-time Antichrist is still unthinkable, let me assure you that Malachi Martin wasn’t the only one who believed it possible. The list is long, and includes such notables as Luther, Calvin, Thomas Cranmer, John Knox, John Wesley, Charles Spurgeon, George Whitefield, and Jonathan Edwards. To learn more, read Petrus Romanus, The Final Pope is Here, by Thomas Horn and Cris Putnam. It’s guaranteed to frizzle your hair.

Let me end by saying I don’t believe the world is going to end in 2012 but I can’t and won’t discard the notion that perhaps something unprecedented will happen this year, something that shakes the spiritual realm. When you realize that 2012 is the year the Mayans and the Aztecs both believed their flying dragon god would return, and the year the Cherokees believed their flying rattlesnake god would return—all pictures of Satan as described in the Bible—and couple it with the prophecy that the final Pope will be an agent of Satan, then you have to wonder if negative spiritual forces are about to shake things up.   

On the other hand it could signal that the time of the rapture and return of Jesus is nearer than we think.

Until next time,

Sylvia
