St. Malachy's "Last Pope" prophecy

[Mabus]

When I heard about the pope being hospitalized I remembered the prophecies of St. Malachy. I also wonder if this will start cropping up with the fundies.

http://www.catholic-pages.com/grabbag/malachy.asp


These short prophetical announcements, in number 112, indicate some noticeable trait of all future popes from Celestine II, who was elected in the year 1130, until the end of the world. They are enunciated under mystical titles. Those who have undertaken to interpret and explain these symbolical prophecies have succeeded in discovering some trait, allusion, point, or similitude in their application to the individual popes, either as to their country, their name, their coat of arms or insignia, their birth-place, their talent or learning, the title of their cardinalate, the dignities which they held etc. For example, the prophecy concerning Urban VIII is Lilium et Rosa (the lily and the rose); he was a native of Florence and on the arms of Florence figured a fleur-de-lis; he had three bees emblazoned on his escutcheon, and the bees gather honey from the lilies and roses. Again, the name accords often with some remarkable and rare circumstance in the pope's career; thus Peregrinus apostolicus (pilgrim pope), which designates Pius VI, appears to be verified by his journey when pope into Germany, by his long career as pope, and by his expatriation from Rome at the end of his pontificate. Those who have lived and followed the course of events in an intelligent manner during the pontificates of Pius IX, Leo XIII, and Pius X cannot fail to be impressed with the titles given to each by the prophecies of St. Malachy and their wonderful appropriateness: Crux de Cruce (Cross from a Cross) Pius IX; Lumen in caelo (Light in the Sky) Leo XIII; Ignis ardens (Burning Fire) Pius X. There is something more than coincidence in the designations given to these three popes so many hundred years before their time. We need not have recourse either to the family names, armorial bearings or cardinalatial titles, to see the fitness of their designations as given in the prophecies. The afflictions and crosses of Pius IX were more than fell to the lot of his predecessors; and the more aggravating of these crosses were brought on by the House of Savoy whose emblem was a cross. Leo XIII was a veritable luminary of the papacy. The present pope is truly a burning fire of zeal for the restoration of all things to Christ.

The last of these prophecies concerns the end of the world and is as follows: "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." It has been noticed concerning Petrus Romanus, who according to St. Malachy's list is to be the last pope, that the prophecy does not say that no popes will intervene between him and his predecessor designated Gloria olivoe. It merely says that he is to be the last, so that we may suppose as many popes as we please before "Peter the Roman". Cornelius a Lapide refers to this prophecy in his commentary "On the Gospel of St. John" (C. xvi) and "On the Apocalypse" (cc. xvii-xx), and he endeavours to calculate according to it the remaining years of time.

John Paul II (1978-) 110 De labore Solis (of the eclipse of the sun, or from the labour of the sun)
Hist.:Karol Wojtyla was born on May 18, 1920 during a solar eclipse. He also comes from behind the former Iron Curtain. He might also be seen to be the fruit of the intercession of the Woman Clothed with the Sun labouring in Revelation 12 (because of his devotion to the Virgin Mary).

??? 111 Gloria olivae

??? In persecutione extrema S.R.E. sedebit Petrus Romanus, qui pascet oues in multis tribulationibus: quibus transactis ciuitas septicollis diruetur, & Iudex tremêdus iudicabit populum suum. Finis.
(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, at the term of which the city of seven hills will be destroyed, and the formidable Judge will judge his people. The End.)

1. Mabus, thanks for bringing this up.

As soon as I saw the news caption in LBN about the 'Pope being sick', I jumped on the Internet to search the prophecies of St. Malachy.

My personal belief: The Pope is probably not going to make it. He's lived longer than anyone could have imagined.

2. Whew

I thought I was alone in knowing who he was. I mentioned it to a few people yesterday and they looked at me like I'd lost my mind. But then they had never heard of Mother Shipton either.

I think his prophecies are interesting. I wonder if they don't show up on the radar as much because he is Catholic or because they concerned the Catholic church.

I know Nostradamus' popularity is partly due to the Nazis and the Brits using his prophecies during WWII.

3. not alone,

I brought it up on another thread when the Pope was taken to the hospital the first time.

4. I found this on a prophecy site. (link is at end). I really found this

so fascinating. Of course, it says this was posted on 2/12/05; however, I know the person could have changed the posted date. There are other prophecies on the page. It brings the Bible as well as the last two popes (Benedict and then Peter).

I have been reading a lot on this lately as well. I remembered reading this back when Nostradamus got big. Every Pope St. Malachy predicted has been in the order that he predicted. Now I do not know if this is just religious Dogma; however, he names the last two as Benedict and Peter. Pope John Paul, II was born on a lunar eclipse, as well as a lot of the popes mentioned have.

Also, (this one will get your hairs on the back of your neck up). Our current president, George W. Bush, was born during an eclipse. (ohohohohwowooooo).

Also, in the "Christian Times" (an older issue (2000-2005), there was an article published regarding how Pope John Paul, II, felt about GWB. He plainly stated he felt he was the Antichrist or in some way was connected. He felt only evil around this man. I'm not saying this. I'll see if I can find the article.

THIS WAS POSTED ON 2/12/05 today is 4/4/05.


(snip) Don't you people ever read the Bible??

The amount of time between September 11, 2001 and February 22, 2005 (2/22) is exactly 1,260 days. In the Middle of the Seven. Read your Daniel.

The 111 refers to the day the Monarch woke up, on January 11, 2005 (1/11/05) to the facts above.

The 444 refers to God exalting the Monarch to deity status, as opposed to man deifying himself, which is 666.

And 2/22/05, the Monarch will appear, and will call himself Pope Benedict XVI, the Pope of Peace, who will lead his church, all the faithful followers of the Lord Jesus Christ to their martyrdom, at the foot of the Cross that stands upon the Mount of Olives.

Whereupon the Monarch entering Israel, becomes Elijah, the gentile olive tree, and one of the two witnesses of Revelation 11.

And, when it comes time, he will take the keys, crown and scepter handed down to him by Jesus through Peter, and offer it at the base of that cross, and subsequently be pierced, and die.

He will comfort his people, and restrain God's Arm against the world as long as he can, until his martyrdom in Jerusalem.

He will leave Rome shortly before April 8, 2005, with all those who love the Lord Jesus, before the coming of Antichrist who seeks the Throne of St. Peter for himself. He calls himself the 'Lord Maitreya', and is the First Beast of the Apocalypse, the Lawless One, the Little Horn of Daniel. He will call himself Peterus Romanus (Peter of Rome) and known as Peter II.

But Gloriae Olivae (The Glory of the Olives) will tear down the walls of the Vatican, auctioning off all the objects within, in order to feed and enlighten those in the 3rd World who have not yet heard the Gospel according to Christ, nor the prophet Pope's message that accompanies it. And he will convert hundreds of millions, for the Hand and Spirit of the Lord is upon him to fulfill His Will, for the sake of the Gentile nations, for which innocent must be shed, or there is no salvation for them.

And Gloriae will return and rule the Millennial Kingdom upon the earth, as the Messiah returns to the Heavens. He will act as king and judge over his people he redeemed for His Father's sake. At the end of that Millennium, Satan will loosed from the Abyss for one final grab for souls before he is destroyed forever.

And when the battle over evil is finally over, God the Father will destroy the physical Universe, and we will all live in the spiritual New Jerusalem. And Gloriae will take his seat in the Inner Cabinet in Heaven, beside his true brother Jesus, and the other seven Archangels. And his name is Dan'el, and his number is 444 (snip)

This poster has more to this post that is very interesting. If the next Pope calls himself Benedict the

5. Well, I tanked another discussion board. I think I'm going to have

to change my name to "destroyer_of_boards" or will_tank_it.

It never fails. I either get no response (EVER), or I will be the very last post to a subject. It just continues to amaze me. I feel like someone has black balled me. Fuck it all. I give up.

6. Well...

This whole thread had a total of four responses in a little more than two months. You didn't get any response in 12 hours during which most people were asleep most of the time. Don't take it personally. This whole forum sometimes goes days without a response to any thread.

9. Frankly,my Dear......

I couldn't resist..,but seriously,this is all so very interesting.

[lonestarnot]

10. hmmmm. very interesting...

[Matariki]

7. hmmm, I wouldn't be surprised if what his prophesy really meant

was the end of the catholic church. what with all the scandal they've had and their stubborn and out of touch attitude on women and birth control, etc, I wouldn't be surprised at all.

of course, everyone loves the thrill of a good old 'end of the world' prophesy.

8. Thanks for posting this

I'm confused, tho. I had thought the most recent pope was tne 2nd to last pope, and now this seems to say there are at least 2 more -- Benedict and Peter.

:-(

Oh well. We shall see, won't we?

And I vote for "end of the Church (having grown up Catholic and left it very early on)," or as I put it in another thread: IMO there is no room in the Age of Aquarius for a thoroughly Piscean Age institution like the Holy Roman Church. Blech.
