Pope Francis
Prophesied to be the last Pope
After some meditation and thinking of the significance of the 14th Dalai Lama being the last, I thought of another prophecy. I recalled reading a writing on the 12th
century prophecy of Saint Malachy, hanging on a wall at a religious
museum near our home. Saint Malachy was a canonized Irish Catholic
Priest, who was born in 1094. In 1139, during a trip to Rome, Malachy
was given a vision of the men who would be chosen to serve as popes in
the succeeding generations to come. He was given a short resume of each,
and the number who would serve in that calling. He was told there would
be 112 more popes, and the final one would witness the destruction of
the Catholic Church [which appears to be happening].
The
vision of St. Malachy, who died in 1148, has never been fully accepted
by the Catholic hierarchy, but after about five hundred years, many
began to take note of the accuracy of his descriptions of the men
appointed to the highest office within their church.
Pope Benedict XVI was the 111th
to be chosen as leader of the Catholics since St. Malachy’s prophecy
was given. Pope Benedict was described in Malachy’s vision as “the glory
of the olive.” The members of the Benedictine order are known as the
Olivetans.
I
find it very interesting that both of these ancient prophecies,
Buddhist and Catholic, predicted that after a specified number of their
leaders had served, there would be no more. Considering the age of the
present Dalai Lama [84], and the incumbent Pope Francis [86], two of the
largest religions of the world may soon be without leadership. The
estimated number of Buddhists in the world is about 360 million. The
Roman Catholics claim a membership of 1.2 billion at the present time.
Could
it be that these prophecies of ancient date, which have reached the
prophesied number in our day, is signifying that these religious leaders
will soon be replaced by the King of kings and Lord of lords? Surely,
this information was made known to me for some reason. Why was it
brought to my attention at this time? Was it just a coincidence?
“Even so, come, Lord Jesus”
(Revelation 22:20).
