KING JESUS IS COMING FOR US ANY TIME NOW. THE RAPTURE. BE PREPARED TO GO.

FALSE POPE FROM THE VATICAN

REVELATION 13:11-13
11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth;(FALSE VATICAN POPE) and he had two horns like a lamb,(JESUS IS THE LAMB OF GOD) and he spake as a dragon.(HES SATANICALLY INSPIRED,HES A CHRISTIAN DEFECTOR FROM THE FAITH)
12 And he (FALSE RELIGIOUS LEADER) exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him,(WORLD DICTATOR) and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.(THE WORLD DICTATOR CREATES A FALSE RESURRECTION AND IS CROWNED LEADER OF THE NEW WORLD ORDER).
13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,

REVELATION 17:1-5,9,15-18
1 And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters:
2 With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication,(VATICAN IN POLITICS) and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.
3 So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.
4 And the woman (FALSE CHURCH) was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour,(VATICAN COLOURS)(ANOTHER REASON WE KNOW THE FALSE POPE COMES FROM THE VATICAN) and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:
5 And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
9 And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.(THE VATICAN IS BUILT ON 7 HILLS OR MOUNTAINS)
15 And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.(VATICAN-CATHOLICS ALL AROUND THE WORLD OVER 1 BILLION)
16 And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast,(WORLD DICTATOR) these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.
17 For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.
18 And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.

Pope's crackdown on order alarms traditionalists

By NICOLE WINFIELD 4 hours ago-DEC 15,13

VATICAN CITY (AP) — Pope Francis may have been named Time magazine's Person of the Year, but he has come under scathing criticism from a growing number of traditionalist Catholics for cracking down on a religious order that celebrates the old Latin Mass. The case has become a flashpoint in the ideological tug-of-war going on in the Catholic Church over Francis' revolutionary agenda, which has thrilled progressives and alarmed some conservatives.The matter concerns the Franciscan Friars of the Immaculate, a small but growing order of several hundred priests, seminarians and nuns that was founded in Italy in 1990 as an offshoot of the larger Franciscan order of the pope's namesake, St. Francis of Assisi.Then-Pope Benedict XVI launched an investigation into the congregation after five of its priests complained that the order was taking on an overly traditionalist bent, with the old Latin Mass being celebrated more and more at the expense of the liturgy in the vernacular.Benedict, a great admirer of the pre-Vatican II Mass, had relaxed restrictions on celebrating the old Latin Mass in 2007.While the order was in turmoil over this liturgical issue, the dispute at its core comes down to differing interpretations of the modernizing reforms of the Second Vatican Council, which include the use of local languages in Mass that some considered a break with the church's tradition.The Vatican in July named the Rev. Fidenzio Volpi, a Franciscan Capuchin friar, as a special commissioner to run the order with a mandate to quell the dissent that had erupted over the liturgy, improve unity within its ranks and get a handle on its finances. In the same decree appointing Volpi, Francis forbade the friars from celebrating the old Latin Mass unless they got special permission, a clear rollback from Benedict's 2007 decision.In the weeks that followed, traditionalists voiced outrage: four tradition-minded Italian intellectuals wrote to the Vatican accusing it of violating Benedict's 2007 edict by restricting the Latin Mass for the friars, saying the Holy See was imposing "unjust discrimination" against those who celebrate the ancient rite.Volpi though was undeterred: He sent their founder, the Rev. Stefano Maria Manelli, to live in a religious home while he set about turning the order around.And on Dec. 8, he took action, issuing a series of sanctions in the name of the pope that have stunned observers for their seeming severity: He closed the friars' seminary and sent its students to other religious universities in Rome. He suspended the activities of the friars' lay movement. He suspended ordinations of new priests for a year and required future priests to formally accept the teachings of the Second Vatican Council and its new liturgy or be kicked out. And he decreed that current priests must commit themselves in writing to following the existing mission of the order.In a letter detailing the new measures, Volpi accused friars loyal to Manelli of seeking to undermine him and accused some of embezzlement. He denounced a cult of personality that had grown around Manelli, saying it "reveals a great spiritual poverty and psychological dependence that is incompatible with" the life in a religious community.The sanctions seem harsh when compared to recent actions taken by the Vatican against other much larger religious orders or groups found to have doctrinal or other problems, such as the Holy See's crackdown on social justice-minded American nuns or the Vatican's reform efforts of the disgraced Legion of Christ. In both cases, a papal envoy was named to rewrite constitutions or statutes and oversee reforms, but Volpi's actions with the Franciscan Friars of the Immaculate would appear to go much further.
Traditionalists have charged that a double standard is at play, with a conservative, tradition-minded order being targeted for particular sanction on ideological grounds by a pope with a progressive bent."I hope that I am not being intemperate in describing this as rather harsh," the Rev. Timothy Finigan, a British priest whose "The Hermeneutic of Continuity" blog is much-read in traditionalist circles, wrote last week of the sanctions.
Francis has called Benedict's 2007 decree allowing wider use of the Latin Mass "prudent," but has warned that it risks being exploited on ideological grounds by factions in the church; Francis has made clear his disdain for traditionalist Catholics, saying they are self-absorbed retrogrades who aren't helping the church's mission to evangelize.For some, the issue is purely ideological. Christopher Ferrara, a columnist for The Remant, a traditionalist biweekly newspaper in the United States, said Volpi's aim was to make the order conform to the more progressive ideology of other religious orders like Volpi's own Capuchins, which he noted are dwindling in numbers while more conservative, tradition-minded orders like the Franciscan Friars are growing."Traditionalism isn't an ideology, it's holding fast to everything that has been handed down," Ferrara said in a telephone interview.A group of tradition-minded lay Catholics has launched an online petition seeking Volpi's ouster, but it's not clear how many signatories have signed on; an email seeking figures wasn't returned Saturday.The Vatican spokesman, the Rev. Federico Lombardi, defended Volpi as a sage, esteemed and experienced administrator and dismissed calls for his removal."He knows religious life well, was for many years head of the Italian conference of religious superiors and I think his nomination was a wise choice," Lombardi said in an email to The Associated Press. "While the situation seems difficult and painful, it appears the letter is yet another demonstration that the naming of a commissioner was necessary and that he knows what to do with the powers he has."I don't have any reason to doubt it," Lombardi concluded.The Rev. Robert Gahl, a moral theologian at the Opus Dei-run Pontifical Holy Cross University, said he was certain that the pope wasn't opposed to the old Latin Mass and was not aiming to combat it by restricting its celebration with the Friars. He said Francis appeared to be taking the measures to quell the internal conflicts that arose over its celebration, and then took other measures after financial irregularities occurred."Liturgy is always a surprisingly sensitive topic," he said. "It can be extremely controversial and can upset communities even when the substance of the disagreement is minuscule. So, I think Francis is pushing for community peace and unity which may entail a temporary reduction in some use" of the old Latin Mass.

"I'm certain that Francis wants unity in Christ and to put a stop to the back-biting between ideological groups in the church, also by those who ideologize the liturgy," he said.___Follow Nicole Winfield at www.twitter.com/nwinfield

After ‘storm of the century,’ crippled Jerusalem plows on

Three days of heavy snowfall leave the capital’s sidewalks unnavigable and its streets littered with broken tree limbs

In the wake of three consecutive days of snow, Jerusalem’s streets are a tangled mess of broken boughs, snow drifts, slush and half-buried cars. An estimated 19 inches fell on a decidedly unprepared capital, stranding vehicles, knocking power out across the city, and bringing businesses and transportation to a halt.

The center of the city was uncharacteristically empty for a Saturday night, as most residents huddled indoors against the cold. The Ben Yehuda Street pedestrian mall, typically mobbed by teens after the departure of the Sabbath, was empty of people and covered in several inches of packed powder. Major roads were clear, but side streets remained blanketed in wet, heavily packed snow among ruts coated in black ice. The light rail’s tracks along Jaffa Road were encrusted in ice, and much of the rail line was covered in snow.

Accustomed as I am to inclement weather (having been born in Syracuse, NY, lived many years in New England and studied in Toronto), it came as a shock that the much-touted snow plows and salt trucks that served as props in a photo op for Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barkat were nowhere to be seen on Thursday or Friday. Only on this, the third day of the storm, did backhoes, plows, even the Israel Defense Forces’ armored personnel carriers, take to the roads to clear the accumulated and frozen solid precipitation. They will undoubtedly work through the night to keep the city’s thoroughfares navigable.City Hall scrambled on Saturday to clear Jerusalem’s main roads and highways of snow, but the sidewalks remained a treacherous mess of compacted ice several inches thick. (This reporter’s sore bottom will attest to the slickness of ice-coated Jerusalem stone pavement.) After another night with near-freezing temperatures, residents navigating the city’s streets on Sunday for the first time since Wednesday will face the perils of uncleared and unsafe sidewalks.On Thursday night, the night air echoed with the sound of tree limbs snapping like matchsticks beneath the weight of the snow. Two nights later, central Jerusalem reverberated with the sound of chainsaws, wielded by tree crews hired by the municipality to clear away those fallen branches. According to Barkat, “almost every tree” in the city was damaged by the storm.Around midnight I asked one of the laborers how much work he had cut out for him. He gave a sheepish shrug and mumbled something to the effect of “a lot.” And he could give no estimate of how long the cleanup project would take.

Scars of the brutal December storm will mark the city’s trees for years to come, but for the time being the pressing issue for thousands of Jerusalemites is the lack of electricity. As of Saturday night, thousands of residents were still without power — a consequence of tree limbs tearing down electrical wires across the city.Though the Israel Electric Corporation’s employees worked “around the clock,” according to one worker who spoke to Channel 2, to get the grid back online, darkness still swathed many homes in the city. In defense of the IEC’s failure to get power fully restored in Jerusalem after two days, CEO Eli Glickman said that despite its preparations, it was impossible to predict such a disaster.“Compared to other countries in the world — let’s take [cue air quotes] ‘developed countries,’ the United States, New York, New Jersey — just in the last year there were power outages of a month and a month-and-a-half. Here we’re talking about citizens suffering badly for a few hours, and our hearts are with them, but let’s compare it to the United States,” he said.In Glickman’s defense, preparations were made and the storm was a “once-in-a-century” event, as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu put it. At the same time, comparing a relatively mild snowstorm (by international standards) to Superstorm Sandy is out of line and belittles the magnitude of that colossal disaster.It’s likely some Israelis won’t have power come morning. It’s more likely that some businesses and public offices won’t be up and running, even once public transportation returns to regular service. Although disaster was averted, as Netanyahu proclaimed on Saturday after the last flakes fell, City Hall’s preparations proved woefully inadequate, and recovery will take several days longer than it should have. For once, MK Miri Regev (Likud) was the voice of reason when she said that the capital should not have been snowbound as long as it was.But let’s take stock: Jerusalem is not underwater like the Gaza Strip; its residents were temporarily beleaguered, but not in a chaotic war zone like those of Homs; and they have roofs over their heads, unlike many Syrian refugees in Lebanon.

After storm and heavy flooding, Gaza receives fuel

First fuel shipment in 45 days funded by Qatar; 40,000 strip residents forced from their homes due to flooding

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — A Palestinian official says the Gaza Strip has received its first industrial fuel shipment in 45 days, bringing much-needed relief to the storm-battered coastal territory.A lack of fuel has hampered the rescue efforts in Gaza, where flooding from heavy rains has forced about 40,000 residents from their homes. The territory suffers from frequent power outages.While the rival Palestinian government in the West Bank can ship fuel to Gaza through Israel, Gaza’s Hamas rulers have refused to accept the shipments, saying they cannot afford a new tax.Palestinian border official Raed Fattouh said Sunday’s fuel shipment was paid for by Qatar.The storm has also left thousands of Israelis without power. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he was postponing a regularly scheduled Cabinet meeting until Sunday afternoon over it.
