Prophecies

I have commented before on W and his regime and their seeking the End Times. At times I feel like their actions are trying to bring the predictions of the "book of Revelations" to pass. Trying to bring about the last war to end all wars.

I have similar thoughts concerning Pope John Paul II. As his death nears, several journalists, websites and blogs are bringing up prophecies of St. Malachy and other signs of the "end of times." One journalist on CNN brought up a few points that really got me thinking. His first point is that the first Sunday after Easter was declared, 5 years ago by this Pope, as Mercy Sunday. He also mentioned a prophetic vision by a Polish nun. The vision is now viewed as foretelling the ascendency of this Pope. And finally the journalist talked about the possibility that the next pope may come from the non-cardinal ranks. He mentioned that a Bishop from Russia may considered.

So I got to thinking, maybe the Pope is already dead but the announcement will be withheld until Sunday. Maybe the Vatican is looking at the prophecies and their interpretations and trying to bring about "the end times" through their own actions (like W and the religious fanatics). Maybe these prophecies come true because there are powerful people who cause them to come true. The selection of the next Pope will be very interesting. Check out the Pope timeline of St. Malachy. If this next pope fits into Malachy's timeline, we must consider what is really going on. Is it some "divine" plan or some move by powerful earthly forces attempting to bring about some "hoped for" endtimes?

Maybe we are our own worst enemy.

So a few hours after the original post the Pope died. Divine Mercy Sunday theory down, more to wait for...
