Pope Benedict XVI, who on Feb. 28, 2013 resigned prematurely as Pope, has died today, Dec. 31, 2022.

My prayers and heart felt sympathies go to Pope Benedict's family and friends for their loss.

I am mostly ignorant of Pope Benedict's life history, and am therefore in no position to judge him in any way.  God will judge me, Pope Benedict, and everybody else.  It is not for me to judge Pope Benedict, nor anybody else.  

However, I am not so naïve as to assume that people climb through the hierarchy of any organization and reach the very top merely and exclusively on meritocracy, righteousness, and fair play.  I assume this is also true for the Roman Catholic Church, Pope Benedict, Pope Francis, all other Popes, Cardinals, Bishops, and others.

Pope Pius XI and Mussolini

The Vatican only became a "Nation State" in 1922 via a deal between Mussolini, the Fascist dictator of Italy, and Pope Pius XI.  It is interesting that both Pope Pius XI and Mussolini started their respective reigns in the same year, 1922.  For more info on this "marriage of convenience" between Mussolini and Pope Pius XI, I suggest:

Pope Francis, the 8th King-Pope of the Vatican State

From there, Pope Francis is the 8th "king" of the Vatican.

Upon the death of Pope Benedict XVI, this leaves Pope Francis fully in charge of the Vatican, and gives clarity to the Bible's Rev. 17:10-11.

[Rev 17:10–11 KJV] "10 And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space. 11 And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth [Pope Francis ?], and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition."

It appears that Rev. 17:10 was written from the perspective of the 6th Pope, John Paul II (1978 - 2005).  The one that "is not yet come" was Pope Benedict XVI, and he only continued as Pope for a short space (ie. 9 years, then resigns prematurely).

If all the above is a correct interpretation of Rev. 17:10, this would indicate that Pope Francis is "the Beast" who was, and is not, and is the 8th "king" of the Vatican. 

It is unclear to me what is the full meaning of "...the beast that was, and is not, ...".  

My guess is that Pope Francis is Satan's evil equivalent of John The Baptist, who had the spirit of Elijah.  The Beast refers to a demonic spirit that previously lived on Earth as a Nephilim (ie. a hybrid offspring of an evil Fallen Angel, and a human woman), this Nephilim likely died on or about the Great Flood of Noah, so it became an "is not" as a disembodied spirit.  This evil spirit was then likely taken on by the human Jorge Mario Bergoglio, born 17 December 1936, who subsequently became Pope Francis on March 13, 2013, as the 8th "king" of the Vatican.

Rev. 17:10 also says that the 8th king goes into perdition.  Judas Iscariot, who betrayed Jesus Christ on or about 32 AD, was also a "son of perdition".

Jesus speaking in John 17:12 KJV prayed to God The Father:  "While I was with them in the world, I kept them in Thy name: those that Thou gavest Me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled."

The phrase "son of perdition" means “man doomed to destruction”.

In Acts 1:23-26, we learn of Judas Iscariot' ultimate fate:

23 And they [The Apostles] appointed two, Joseph called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.  24 And they prayed, and said, 'Thou, Lord, which knowest the hearts of all men, shew whether of these two thou hast chosen,  25 That he may take part of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place.'  26 And they gave forth their lots; and the lot fell upon Matthias; and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.

Other Bible versions translate "to his own place" as "where he belongs", or "his special place".  It would likely be Hades, Hell, or the Lake of Fire.

If Pope Francis eventually becomes the False Prophet, Rev. 19:20 tells us the False Prophet is eventually thrown alive into the Lake of Fire:

Revelation 19:20, KJV: "And the beast [AntiChrist] was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone."

Combining all of these Bible verses together in a logical manner, we have Pope Francis as the 8th "king" of the Vatican, who soon becomes the False Prophet and a Son of Perdition, and eventually gets thrown into the Lake of Fire.  The Lake of Fire is where the Sons of Perdition will have no rest, neither day nor night, but will suffer torment and burning for ever & ever.  There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

St. Malachy's Prophecy on the Popes

This old prophecy predicts that Pope Francis will be the last Pope.

New Prophecy

Julie, a Prophetess of God, has released a new prophecy today:

https://iamcallingyounow.blogspot.com/2022/12/watch-expectantly-and-see-what-i-will-do.html?m=1

This doubles down on the previous High Watch period Dec. 14-27, 2022 (see my previous post:   https://et-manitoulin.blogspot.com/2022/12/gods-big-move-here-it-is.html ).

In addition, Dr. Robert Mawire, another Prophet of God, has outlined the events for 2023.   https://youtu.be/1PSH5V7eLl0

In addition, here is Erin's latest prophecy:   http://sparrowcloud9.com/heaven-dreams-interpretations/the-tribulation/excerpt-from-dreams-questions-answered/full-dreams/dream-657/

As all 3 prophets say, time is very short.

The new Israeli government has been formed, and will be official as of Jan. 3, 2023.

With the "3 Day Rule" (ie. prophetic dates occur at least 3 days before God takes action upon them), I will extend the High Watch period to 3 days past the start of the new Israeli government, so Jan. 6, 2023.

Therefore  I declare a super High Watch period from now, Dec. 31, 2022 till Jan.6, 2023.

Watch for Northern Lights, 3 Days of Darkness, Christian Revival, Overcomers of God (ie. Modern Day Apostles) preaching the Gospel, driving out demons, healing the sick, raising the dead, miracles, and saving souls by the millions.

Get ready, get prayed up, confess, repent, get Born Again.

If you're not sure how, here are detailed instructions to protect yourself & your family:

May God Bless & help all the lost, the Atheists, the deceived, the luke-warm, the self-righteous, the hypocrites, and the foolish.
