Dear Friends

Most of you are aware that Pope Benedict XVI announced on Monday the second day of Adar of the sacred year 2012/13 he will resign this month on 28 February or 19 Adar, following Purim, because of his advancing age in a fast-changing world. He will become the first pontiff in 719 years to step down of his own free will. The 85-year-old said he will step down on February 28 after just eight years in office, making his one of the shortest pontificates in modern history and stunning the world's 1.1 billion Catholics. The day of his announcements resulted in a massive increase in access to the CCG site for the papers dealing with these matters, the most significant work being The Last Pope (No. 288)(cf. also Annex A (No. 288a)). There are a host of other papers which will be listed below as reference materials. The materials have been on the site for many years and we anticipated that this year would begin the sequence of the final wars and economic crisis of the last days.

This next pope according to Malachy archbishop of Armagh Ireland is to be Peter the Roman. He is the last prophesied pope. The complete list of these popes and their coats of arms and meanings of their prophetic names are contained in the paper The Last Pope. Then Christ comes and the Roman Catholic Church comes under judgment and ceases to exist. Pius X prophesied that he would bear the name Pius which is Pius XIII. It was prophesied he would leave Rome over the dead bodies of his priests. Thus we might expect that he has the name Peter and comes from Rome or works in the Roman Curia. He then adopts the name Pius XIII on his election. This pope who just resigned adopted the name Benedict XVI and Malachy called him "from the Glory of the Olive." The olive is the emblem of Benedict and the Benedictines. Thus we anticipated that he would take that name.

Petrus Romanus or Peter the Roman presides over a tribulation and a great crisis in the church. The Curial See will be moved from Rome to Jerusalem in his reign, probably by 2019. It will be moved along with the centre of NATO administration and that of the Antichrist who will reign for 42 months from Jerusalem.

It is no accident that Benedict resigned in this last month of the sacred year 2012/13. It was essential that the final preparations for the last days of the Roman Catholic Church be made under this last pope who will face a great tribulation and one which Benedict was totally unable to face given his age and state of health.

The details of the preparation and conflicts of the Last Days and especially covering the period 2012 and 2013 were covered in the paper 2012 and the Antichrist (No. 299D). The Satanic system is preparing to enforce the New World Order (NWO) on the world. This was to be achieved from the solstice period on 21 December 2012. The year 2013 was to be the year in which the figures of the final conflict were to be installed. The Antichrist had to be installed to take over the final NWO and the last pope had to be installed to preside over the final destruction of the Mystery and Sun Cults. These aspects are covered in the papers World War III Part I: The Empire of the Beast (No. 299A) and WWIII Part II: The Whore and the Beast (No. 299B).

The last key religious figure of world pseudo-Christianity is the person referred to in Revelation as the False Prophet. It therefore follows that the last head of the major religious faction who is referred to as the False Prophet must be the last head of the Roman Catholic Church as he is killed by Christ at his return along with the leader of the Beast system who is known as the Antichrist in the text of Revelation. Malachy’s prophecy says that after Peter the Roman the “Terrible Judge will judge the people.” The Terrible Judge is of course Christ and the text in Revelation says that he returns and destroys the Babylonian system which is the Mystery and Sun Cults referred to as Mystery Babylon the mother of harlots that commits fornication with the kings of the earth.

As usual the calling of the conclave of cardinals fuels a rush of speculation and money is placed with the bookies which is a good indication of the speculation and thoughts of a large number of people.

To follow Malachy the person selected should bear the name Peter and be a Roman. However he cannot be the bishop of Rome as it is to that seat that he is to be elected. There are a number of people mentioned as “papabile” or likely candidates for the papal office. Of those mentioned the only one that is actually in Rome now is the Cardinal Peter Turkson who is in charge of, as head of, the African bishops and he a Ghanaian. There are 18 African cardinals eligible. He is considered to be a favourite candidate. Thus it would be an ironic twist if Peter the Roman was actually Peter Turkson, an African cardinal working in the Roman Curia. Last time another favourite was Francis Cardinal Arinze. He is cardinal of Velletri-Segni a diocese immediately adjacent to Rome which he took over from Benedict XVI and he is another hot favourite now. He is Nigerian. The most favoured Italian is the Cardinal of Milan Archbishop Angelo Scola.  Another is the French speaking Marc Ouellet of Canada favoured to win with the Irish. He is a theologian and head of the world’s Catholic bishops. This man might be able to fulfil a prophecy of Nostradamus which refers to one from Ancient France and not from Rome that holds the See but this may have been long ago or he may be French. Other candidates are from Sao Paulo in Brazil and from the Philippines and various other countries at increasing odds among the bookmakers.

The election of a pope is fraught with uncertainty. The last to resign of his own free will was Celestine V in 1294. He was a hermit and made a mess of it and resigned due to the pressure. The cardinals have often been so jealous of one another that they have picked an old pope to make sure the reign was short as they did with Cardinal Ratzinger who was the oldest pope ever elected as Benedict XVI. They have gone outside and elected hermits and priests. Some have been infamous and deposed or sold the office to marry and when they were rejected they regained the papacy by force of arms as did Benedict’s namesake. The office has been held by the greatest scoundrels ever to sully the Christian faith.

Online betters are tipping an African pope as the most likely. However, some say the number of voting-age cardinals from Europe and North America -- 76 out of 118 -- could sway the choice to a Western cardinal. A quarter of the voting cardinals are Italian. The last non-Italian before John Paul II was Adrian VI who died in 1523.

The problem facing the Roman Catholic Church and those protestant daughters that sprung from her is that the church in Europe is in disintegration. So while the churches in Africa and South America are faring fairly well the church in Europe is in disarray and there is need to build it up. Thus there is great pressure to appoint someone that will appeal to and consolidate the church in Europe. That is the reason why both John Paul II and Benedict XVI were chosen. The result for both has been the reverse. John Paul II allowed the church to be destroyed as Malachi Martin points out in his work Windswept House. In that work he points out that in 1963 at the Availing Time under Paul VI the Angel Lucifer or Satan was enthroned in the Vatican as the god of this world and of the church. This was explained in the paper 2012 and the Antichrist (No. 299D) above.

In the Last Days the Empire of the Beast is given the power of Satan and turns on this Babylonian whore and destroys it. That is happening now as we watch. The world is turning on the RCC due to its serious sexual scandals and this will continue. More particularly the Islamic developments to establish Fundamentalist Islam will continue to develop and escalate in the Wars of the End. Rome will be a target and the priests will be attacked over the next period up until the coming of the Messiah and through the vials of the wrath of God until it is destroyed. This is explained in the paper The Wars of the Last Days and the Vials of the Wrath of God (No. 141B).

If Malachy is correct this will be the Last Pope. If he is not and there is another then we have no idea who that may be. However, he has been correct for each and every pope and nominated them by coats of arms or houses and in the last sequence by their characteristics and reigns. The other problem is that the sequence of the Last Days according to Bible prophecy is too short to leave much room for another pope.  The 120th Jubilee is in 2027 and hence the end of the 6000 years of Satan’s rule and Messiah should be here well before then; and the prophecies do not allow the Sun Cults to go on after Messiah gets here.  Thus we are looking at a maximum of 14 years for the existence of the world’s religious system under the Mystery and Sun Cults to continue. The likely duration is seven years.

John Paul II and Benedict XVI tried to mobilise the world’s systems to work in harmony with them but they were unsuccessful and the ongoing war with Islam will commence the complete destruction of this religious system. The push against Rome will see the priests in the Vatican die and the pope and his entourage will leave over their dead bodies according to their own prophecies.

The papacy has tried to rule this Beast of the Ten Horns, the Beast of the Last Days, which are the Ten Toes of iron and miry clay which are the end of the Babylonian idol of Daniel Chapter 2.  However, prophecy says that Christ as the stone uncut by human hands comes and strikes this Beast on the toes and destroys it. 

We would thus expect this last religious leader to attempt to work with the great civil leader at the head of this financial and military system but he will fail and the Beast destroys this system and their leaders are both killed by Christ at his coming.

There is a great financial crisis being developed by the NWO now so that it goes hand in hand with the change of this leadership. The leadership of the See is vacant from 28 February. In the period between the resignation and the election of a new pope, the Catholic Church will be governed by Secretary of State Tarcisio Bertone. Benedict XVI will retire to a monastery in the confines of the Vatican.

The closed-door conclave of cardinals is held in the Sistine Chapel and its decision is famously announced with a puff of black or white smoke to indicate whether a nominee has been selected or not. The new pope is then announced immediately afterwards with the cry "Habemus Papam" and appears before the crowds of faithful in St Peter's Square.

The conclave will meet in the month of March within 15 or 20 days between 4 Abib and the vernal equinox on 9 Abib or 20 March, and the next pope will be elected before the Easter Sunday of the Sun System on 31 March which this year is the Wave Sheaf Offering of the Temple Calendar in the Feast of Unleavened Bread. It is also significant that this year is one of the very few where the Jews under the Hillel system are forced to hold their feasts and holy days on the correct days according to the Temple Calendar. Thus by default these offshoots of the WCG system in the churches of God are forced to actually keep the correct calendar. God will use this year to good purpose.

Nostradamus had this to say of this time:
Par Mars contraire sera la Monarchie,
Du grand pescheur en trouble ruyneux:
Ieune noir rouge prendra la hierarchie,
Les proditeurs iront iour bruyneux.  C6Q25

Through Mars adverse [a time of war] will be the monarchy
Of the great fisherman [the pope] in trouble ruinous
A young black red [a young black Cardinal] will seize the hierarchy
The predators acting on a foggy day. (Nostradamus 625)

The medieval French can also mean:

By Mars adverse [late march or by conflict] the Monarchy will be overthrown, 
Of the great sinner [rendered fisherman] in ruinous trouble,
The young black red will take the hierarchy,
The predators will act on a day of drizzle.

The French word proditeurs is now traitors but it may have been used from the Latin to indicate spoilers or plunderers. The use of pescheur which means sinner and rendered as fisherman is a play on words and refers to the sins of the church, which have never ceased. This also probably refers to the Man of Sin of the great apostasy of Revelation.

The conflict mentioned in the quatrain may actually refer to the factions in Rome itself which forced the resignation of Benedict XVI.  The factions are headed by Cardinals Bertone, Sodano and Bagnasco.  These factions will carry on into the conclave. The resolution of the factions may be to seek alternatives outside of the curia.  In that case the new pope needs to sweep very clean and oust these cardinals from the curia itself. Ongoing conflict is assured.

The Roman church is in serious trouble because of the scandals that beset it now and there is no telling where it will end.  An alternative is that the war that is escalating will continue from March this year and the conflict is yet to occur after the election of Peter the Roman. Perhaps it is then the overthrow occurs. The young black red would usually mean a black cardinal but a young archbishop cannot be excluded from the interpretation. Some reference to predators or traitors indicates a conspiracy. It may be in the conclave or it may be later. It is too early to tell.

So the papacy seized in troubled time by a young black cardinal or archbishop marks the end of the papacy in ruinous times. What will happen at the conclave? Is one pope actually two as pope / anti-pope?

The predators acting on a foggy day may mean the smoke is not seen due to the fog and they act, or does it mean something else for the conclave or later?

These two candidates qualify as Peter the Roman. A leading candidate is Cardinal Tarcisio Pietro Evasio Bertone, the Cardinal secretary of state, who was born in Romano, Italy. His name could, therefore, be rendered Peter the Roman. He will take over the papacy from 28 February until the election. So in a sense this part of the prophecy will be fulfilled prior to the conclave.

Cardinal Peter Turkson of Ghana is the current president of the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace in Rome.  He is head of the African bishops. Turkson follows Bertone by right or by stealth.

We will see very soon.

In the month of March a further great financial crisis will occur to establish the NWO and the financial system of the Beast. As it was immediately before the Global Financial Crisis (GFC) in 2008 the Baltic Dry Index (BDI) collapsed. The BDI is a critical measure of world trade. This year it has now again collapsed and indicates that world trade is at a standstill. Thus there should be a further crisis unfold by April. The currency wars are heating up and devaluation is being orchestrated to ensure trade advantages through lower currencies. The lesser powerful currencies will suffer significantly and escalate stopping their trade.  

Trade war will follow as will general warfare soon after. 

Pray we are accounted worthy to escape these tribulations.
