Popes Prophecy of St-Malachy
The Popes Prophecy of St-Malachy
The Prophecy of the Popes, attributed to Saint Malachy, is a list of 112 short phrases in Latin. They purport to describe each of the Roman Catholic popes (along with a few anti-popes), beginning with Pope Celestine II (elected in 1143) and concluding with a pope described in the prophecy as "Peter the Roman", whose pontificate will end in the destruction of the city of Rome.
The Last 3 Popes in the Prophecy
Name : Karol Wojtyla (Poland)
Regnal Name : John Paul II
Pope Year : 1978-2005
Pope Nr : 264
Moto : From a solar eclipse – De labore solis
Historical Reference & Explanation : The prophetic motto corresponding to Pope John Paul II is "De labore solis", which literally means "Of the labor (work/giving birth) of the sun"; but "labor solis" is a common Latin expression that means a solar eclipse. Karol Jozef Wojtyla, who later became Pope John Paul II, was born on 18 May 1920, the day of a partial solar eclipse over the Indian Ocean, and buried on 8 April 2005, the day of a rare hybrid eclipse over the south-western Pacific and South America. John Paul II introduced the Luminous Mysteries to the Rosary. During his pontificate, John Paul II traveled extensively all around the world, more than any other pope before, and similarly to what the sun does daily, from an earth-centric point of view.
Name : Joseph Ratzinger (Germany)
Regnal Name : Benedict XVI
Moto : Glory of the olive – Gloria oliuæ – Gloria olivae
Historical Reference & Explanation : Gloria olivae or glory of the olive, is the last short phrase on the list. Prior to the papal conclave, this motto led to speculation that the next pontiff would be from the Order of Saint Benedict, whose symbols include the olive branch. Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger, elected in April 2005, is not a Benedictine, but did choose Benedict XVI as his regnal name, partially named after Benedictine founder Benedict of Nursia, which might be regarded as a fulfillment of this prophecy. The Olivet Discourse in the Gospel of Matthew argued that the events described therein will come to completion during the reign of this Pope. These people argue that the Tribulation will begin during the reign of Benedict XVI.
Name : Jorge Mario Bergoglio (Argentina)
Regnal Name : Francis
Pope Year : 2013-(2020?)
Pope Nr : 266 —> The last pope according the prophecy !!!
Moto :
Peter the Roman, who will pasture his sheep in many tribulations, and when these things are finished, the city of seven hills will be destroyed, and the dreadful judge will judge his people. The End
Name : Peter The Roman
Regnal Name : Francis I
Pope Year : 2013 – Expected End : 7 Years (2020)
Pope Nr : None (There is no number 267 in the Prophecy) (Prophecy : Last Pope)
Moto : None (Prophesied to take the Vatican as an Antipope & Antichrist)
Historical Reference & Explanation : Benedict XVI is the Last Pope in the Prophecy of St-Malachy after mentioning Petrus Romanus would take over the seat of the Vatican in Rome the Prediction quoted "The End" and here the speculation can begin …
During the final persecution of the Holy Roman Church (Started in the year 2008 and going into the year 2017) the seat will be occupied by Peter the Roman, who will feed his sheep in many tribulations (The tribulations and prophesied endtime apocalyptic events are still to come according this prophecy) : And when these things are finished, the seven-hilled city will be destroyed (This city is Rome or Jersulem according different predictions and speculations), and the formidable Judge will judge his people (This is the returned christ, the God of us people, all of the people, including christians muslims buddhist, etc…). The End.
In Original Latin
In persecutione extrema S.R.E. sedebit. Petrus Romanus, qui pascet oves in multis tribulationibus: quibus transactis civitas septicollis diruetur, et Iudex tremendus iudicabit populum suum. Finis.
Possible People who can become "the killer" of Peter The Roman and the chirch.
No one talks about another "Pope", so the Antichrist himself could be Peter the Roman.
Anti Pope
One of the Cardinals of today could be Peter the Roman, this false prophet could help the Antichrist by telling all of the christians to believe that he (Antichrist) is the returned christ like the Bible prophesied.
It could be that this coming "Pope" (Peter the Roman) takes the name Peter II (AntiPope and helper of Satan), or it would be no surprise to me that he takes the name Pius XIII !
Cardinal Francis Arinze Prophecy
The Prediction/Prophecy of Ronald L. Conte Jr states : Cardinal Francis Arinze will become the Last Pope and will take the name of Pius XIII after the death of Pope Benedict XVI. (Benedict did NOT die and the popes name is NOT Pius XIII BUT Francis is correct) And the description "Peter the Roman" means that the "Pope will reaffirm the authority of the Roman Pontiff over the Church, this authority is based on his place as a Successor of Peter and will emphasize the supremacy of the Roman Catholic Faith and the Roman Catholic Church above all other religions and denominations, and its authority over all Christians and all peoples of the world, and also will be the last Pope for about a generation (until the 2040's) to rule from Rome. In Conte's opinion, St. Malachy's list ends with Petrus Romanus because his reign will coincide with the beginning of the first part of the Tribulation.

St-Malachy – The Man Who Forsaw The Final Pope
The Good News and the Bad News
After studying the history of the prophecy of the popes and the surrounding scholarly literature, we have some good news and some bad news. What's that? You want the bad news first? Sure, no problem, let's get this unpleasantness out of the way.
The bad news is that part of the prophecy may be a forgery which was fabricated around 1590. We say forgery meaning that over half of the prophecies, the first seventy or so predictions, arevaticinia ex eventu (prophecy from the event). It seems someone irrevocably altered the original medieval document and the original is either hidden away or lost to history. The first known publication of the "Malachy Prophecy of the Popes" was in Arnold de Wion's massive eighteen-hundred-page volume entitled Lignum Vitae (Tree of Life), which was published in 1595. That text will be presented and examined below. Even though we have good reason to believe a much older document is still visible, we must accept that the earliest instance of the prophecy surfaced nearly four hundred years after its alleged origin in 1139. Despite the legend which pleads it was locked away in a musty Vatican vault those four hundred years, the skeptics still have valid points. Even so, it very well could be the work of Saint Malachy coarsely corrupted by a forger. Of course, this would fall neatly in line with the Roman Catholic practice demonstrated by the Donation of Constantine and Pseudo–Isidorian Decretals. Alternatively, some have suggested it was partially the work of Nostradamus cleverly disguised to protect his identity. While the identity of the actual prophet remains unclear, the author was a prophet whether he knew or not.
The exciting news is that the prophecy of the popes, although tainted, is still a genuine prophecy. Despite the superficial insincerity detectable in the first section of "prophecies," the post publication predictions show astonishing fulfillments. We have no critical analysis to explain away the sometimes jaw-dropping, post-1595 fulfillments. Indeed, we are currently at 111 out of 112 and believers argue they seem to have increased in precision over time. However, we shall deal with bad news first. As we shall demonstrate, the Vatican's penchant for propaganda is undisputed in the record of history. In Rome's tradition of the altering ancient documents for political expediency, the prophecy of the popes was probably used as propaganda for Cardinal Girolamo Simoncelli papal ambitions. Nevertheless, it was a ploy which did not work as Simoncelli lost to Gregory XIV, Innocent IX, and Clement VIII. While textual evidence for this conspiracy is provided, we suggest the reader remain objective and patient in lieu of the more astounding findings.
Historically, the prophecy has enjoyed mixed acceptance. Four hundred years ago, with so many more popes to go, it was a mere novelty. However, as time runs short, the forecast understandably becomes more urgent and the criticism more caustic. Accordingly, beginning in the nineteenth century, the Jesuits, save one, have been outspokenly critical. As a result, the most recent edition of the Catholic Encyclopedia suggests that the prophecy is a late sixteenth century forgery, while the older 1911 edition allows, "it is not conclusive if we adopt Cucherat's theory that they were hidden in the Archives during those four hundred years." He refers to the nineteenth-century author, Abbé Cucherat, who is one of the few who argued for the authenticity of the prophecy in his book, Revue du monde catholique,published in 1871. We will examine it and other positive assessments in the next chapter. Even so, most scholars point out that Malachy's biographer and dear friend, St. Bernard, makes no mention of the papal prophecy in Life of St. Malachy of Armagh. This argument from silence is ubiquitous in the literature.
Modern academic sources are also not very charitable. The Oxford Dictionary of the Christian Church bluntly states, "The so-called Prophecies of Malachy, which are contained in a document apparently composed in 1590, have no connection with St. Malachy except their erroneous attribution to him." Jesuit scholarship presents a united front. M.J. O'Brien's An Historical and Critical Account of the So-Called Prophecy of St. Malachy Regarding the Succession of Popes is a thorough attempt at debunking. Herbert Thurston, another Jesuit, was a prolific late nineteenth-century critic. He argues that "not one scrap of evidence has ever been adduced to show that St. Malachy's prophecy about the Popes had been quoted, or even heard of, before it was published by Wion in 1595." This is not necessarily the case as we will discuss a possible reference to the prophecy published by Nicholas Sanders in 1571. Even so, most scholars bifurcate the list of 112 Latin phrases at number 76, due to the circumstances surrounding its publication. In so doing, two layers of context are established in the prophecy. This approach is adapted from biblical scholarship.
Exegesis in biblical studies is always an attempt to derive the original author's intention for his original reader and that is the methodology undertaken here. For instance, when scholars study the New Testament Gospels, they take into account layers of context. There is the context in which Jesus is interacting in the original historical setting and then there is a layer of context in which the author of the gospel is presenting his account to a later audience. Careful study reveals that each evangelist author, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, frames the events of Jesus' life in unique ways for their own theological and evangelistic purposes.
The underlying context of Jesus can be assimilated by studying first-century Judaism in Israel. We study the Pharisees to understand Jesus' criticism of their traditions. In the same way, the upper level, the author's context, can be discerned by how he presents Jesus. Still, the order in which a certain account is presented in a Gospel is often unique. This requires the careful student to "think vertically" for potential significance.
You might ask, "Is the author making a statement by where he places this parable?" The context of the evangelist author speaks to why and how he selected, arranged, and adapted the historical material about Jesus. Additionally, the scholar must "think horizontally" meaning to read each pericope with awareness of the parallels in other Gospels.While each of the four accounts preserves actual historical data, they are not always chronologically identical because of the secondary layer of context pertaining to the unique purpose of Mark, Matthew, Luke, and John. This methodology unveils new insights into the prophecy of the popes as well.
At first glance, there appear to be at least two levels of historical context, that of the original author and then that of the publisher. We will examine the possibility of even deeper contextual layers in the next chapter but for now we might accept the Malachy legend or perhaps a pseudepigrapher as the lower contextual level. To determine the upper level, the context of the publisher/commentator, we discover that is has been suggested that a papal emissary, Nicholas Sanders (1530–1581), may have brought an original Celtic version of the prophecy to Rome during the reign of Pope Pius V (1566–72). While he may have obliquely referred to the prophecy in a book published in 1571, it has also been suggested that the first specific mention of the prophecy was in a handwritten account by Don Alphonsus Ciacconus, a Spanish Dominican scholar in Rome, in the year 1590.
At the time, Ciacconus was a recognized expert on ancient Greco-Roman paleography and ancient manuscripts, as well as the history of the papacy. Apparently the publisher, Dom Wion, had received the text from someone and turned to Ciacconus for his opinion. Ciacconus ostensibly authenticated the manuscript. We cannot know exactly when it was altered but the textual and circumstantial evidence points to the original manuscript being tampered with by 1589–1590, in time to promote a particular papabile. In the meantime (1590–1595), it circulated surreptitiously amongst the Cardinals creating quite a stir. Wion published it with the previous popes named and interpretations of the fulfillments added in 1595.
Thus, we have discerned two layers of context :
Lower level of historical context: An original document possibly by St. Malachy or a pseudepigrapher circa 1139 –1571.
Upper level of historical context: Alterations imposed and interpretations added circa 1571–1595.
In examining the scans of the original 1595 Latin text, even with no comprehension of Latin, one can note that that explanations of the mottos with papal names cease at time of publication. Wion claimed that Ciacconus was responsible for the interpretations but this has been called into serious question by O'Brien, who suggests it was someone else who simply copied from Onuphrius Panvinius' short history of the Popes, Epitome Romanorum Pontijicum usque ad Paulum IV, printed in Venice in 1557. He bases this on the case that the interpretations presented by Wion match Panvinius' work but disagree with Ciacconus' own book about the popes, Viltae et res Gesltae Romanorum Ponlificum el Cardinalium,printed in 1601. While Ciacconius' work resembles Panvinius', it disagrees in important areas that Ciacconius made explicit. O'Brien ponders this issue: "Now, if Ciacconius was the interpreter of the prophecies, as Wion asserts, Ciacconius must be pitching into himself, for we find reproduced in Wion's book the errors of which he complains. Who then is the interpreter? Is it Panvinius? Or may not the prophecy as well as the explanation have come from the same hand? May not Wion have been merely duped (which could have been easily done considering his character); and may he not in good faith have given the prophecy as that of the great St. Malachy?"
Whoever the interpreter was, the last comment in Lignum Vitae referred to Urban VII who died in 1590 and the last papal name listed was Clement VIII who took office in 1592 just prior to the prophecy's 1595 publication. In reading the Latin text, underneath "Crux Romulea…Clemens VIII," the last page simply lists the remaining mottos in three columns ending with the famous apocalyptic codex centered on Petrus Romanus and the destruction of Mystery Babylon headquartered on Vatican Hill in the seven-hilled city.
The Man Who Forsaw The Final Pope
The second paragraph above reads: "Three Epistles of St. Bernard addressed to St. Malachy are still extant (viz., 313, 316, and 317). Malachy himself is reported to have been the author of some little tractates, none of which I have seen up to the present time, except a certain prophecy of his concerning the Sovereign Pontiffs. This, as it is short, and so far as we know, has never before been printed, is inserted here, seeing that many people have asked for it."
The bottom two lines by Wion read, "What has been added to the popes is not the work of Malachy, but of Father Alphonsus Giacon, of the Order of Preachers, the interpreter of this prophecy." This may seem confusing in light of the above discussion about Ciacconius. Gaicon is also Chacon or Ciacconius because he was from Spain, his original name, Alphonso Chacon, was Italianized to preserve the soft Spanish sound of "ch" inhis name into Ciacconius or alternately as Wion has it "Giacon." But this last line reveals that the original prophecy was a mere string of obscure Latin phrases, and that Giacon, Ciacconius, added each pope's name and explained how the prophecy applied to him. The comments end with to Urban VII who died in 1590 and the last papal name listed is Clement VIII. Since the evidence points to the prophecy appearing in 1589–90, we observe the next prophecy after Urban was "ex antiquitate Urbis" which translates to "from the old city" and no interpretation is offered. This is the critical point where scholars detect an attempt to influence the conclave when Gregory XIIII was opposed by one Girolamo Simoncelli.
As a representative example of scholarly detective work, Louis Moreri, a native of Provence born in 1643 and doctor of theology, is chosen. He was the author of the acclaimed Dictionnaire Historique. As his life's work, the dictionary contains such a wide variety of information it is considered to be an early forerunner of the modern encyclopedia. In the 1759 edition, we read:
"They attribute to him [Malachy] a prophecy concerning the popes from Celestine II. To the end of the world, but the learned know that this prophecy was forged, during the conclave of 1590, by the partisans of Cardinal Simoncelli, who was designated by these words: 'De anlzguilale Urbis,' because he was of Orvieto; in Latin, 'Urbs vetus.'"
The argument "from the old city" would arguably predict Girolamo Simoncelli who was at that time the Cardinal of Orvieto which also means "old city." This is the dominant opinion of Malachy scholars. The scholars are right; it does seem a little too perfect. It seems that the conspirators hoped to rig the papal conclave by encouraging the voters to fall in step with the much venerated Saint Malachy. The clever ruse failed when Simoncelli lost to Gregory XIV, albeit Gregory only lived a year to be followed by Innocent IX who similarly only lived a brief term dying in 1591. Because popes had a short life expectancy in those days, Simoncelli was a viable candidate in the conclaves in September and October–December 1590, and those in 1591 and 1592. Altogether, he missed out on seven opportunities including the earlier conclaves of April and May 1555, 1559, and 1565–66. Even so, Simoncelli died February 24, 1605 never winning the pontificate. While the trail of the conspiracy seems evident, the coherence of the frustrated papbile's "old city" Cardinalate is not the most compelling reason we hold that it was tampered with.
To demonstrate why we can confidently discern that at least some of the pre-1590 mottos were written after the fact I will use an analogy from counter-cult apologetics, specifically in regard to Mormonism. Joseph Smith claimed that he miraculously translated the book of Mormon directly from gold plates which were written by a divine hand. Thus, it was a one-generation translation from plates to Smith's manuscript. Accordingly, one would then expect the book of Mormon to be sacred scripture of the most direct and pure translation. The insurmountable obstacle for the veracity of the book of Mormon is demonstrated by the fact that when the book of Mormon references passages from the Hebrew Bible, it follows the translated text of the King James Bible a little too perfectly. For instance, where the King James italicized words, the Book of Mormon follows suit. Obviously, this proves that Smith copied his references from a King James Bible and not more ancient source material like the mythological golden plates. We have a similar line of evidence with the prophecy of the popes.
Because we are examining the upper level of context from the time of publisher, specifically the interpretations offered prior to 1590, we can discern that they were manipulated in line with what was available at the time. Books were hard to come by. The prophecy follows the descriptions and details found in a work on the history of the popes by Onuphrius Panvinius: Epitome Romanorum Pontijicum usque ad Paulum IV, printed in Venice in 1557. The prophecy transparently follows this reference work. O'Brien argued, "Any person who opens this work and compares the account of the popes in it from Celestine II to Paul IV, with the corresponding part of the 'Prophecy of St. Malachy' will come to the conclusion that the writer of the latter, if not Panvinius himself, must have been someone who followed Panvinius' account rather too closely." This is more than just an assertion; his evidence is detailed and specific:
In Panvinius's Epitome, the popes' armorial bearings are given, but not in every case. When the arms are given, we usually find that they figure in the prophecy, when not given, the prophecy is a play upon or a description of the pope's name, country, family, or title, when cardinal. Moreover, we find in Panvinius the very same antipopes as given in the prophecy. Even when the pope's family-name, armorial bearings or cardinalic title is wrongly given by Panvinius, we find the forger of the prophecy to perfectly chime in with him.
In other words, it matches too perfectly because, even in the few places where Panvinius' papal history makes mistakes, the interpretations of the prophecy follow those errors. This only makes sense if someone was using Panvinius' book or if it were Panvinius himself. If we allow that they were following Rome's penchant for altering an authentic ancient document to meet their purposes, then we have two layers of context. The prophecy itself (the lower, an older level of historical context) seems to have been manipulated to match the interpretation (the upper, the late sixteenth-century level). O'Brien's parting shot is a zinger:
According to Wion, Malachy's prophecy was a mere string of meaningless Latin phrases. How did the supposed interpreter know with what pope to commence? How was he persuaded to take up the antipopes?
While O'Brien's incredulity is clear, the answer to the first question is trivial. As the legend goes, Malachy was summoned to Rome in 1139 by Pope Innocent II (r. 1130–43). Thus, the prophecy commenced with the Pope following Innocent II who was Celestine II (r. 1143–44). The second quandary concerning antipopes is much more problematic. For instance, in the Malachy prophecy, predictions 6: Octavius ("Victor IV") (1159–1164); 7: Pascal III (1165–1168); 8: Callistus III (1168–1177) are antipopes. Antipopes are alternative popes elected in opposition to a standing pope during various schisms and controversies. The problem is that those antipopes listed opposed Alexander III (1159–81) but in reality there was another antipope Innocent III (1178–1180) who is not included in prophecy. What makes this revealing is this is exactly the same way Panvinius recorded it. Panvinius neglected antipope Innocent III as well.
This state of affairs points to the fact that someone redacted the pre-1590 prophecies to conform to Panvinius' book. In light of their goal, it makes perfect sense. Panvinius' work was the authoritative source at the time and likely the only one most people had access to. By manipulating all of the pre-1590 mottos to have obvious fulfillments that any semi-studious Cardinal could verify, they launched an ingenious conspiracy to promote papabile Simoncelli as the candidate of divine destiny. Because the lower level of historical context, the original text, was just a series of nebulous Latin phrases, how could someone like the alleged interpreter Ciacconus or the publisher, Wion (who discovered the list over four hundred years after their composition), know to include these and only these specific antipopes? It is just not plausible. If the antipopes are not included, the whole list gets thrown out of sync. Of course, the original text left no such instructions. Even so, it is in sync…but not with actual history; rather, with Panvinius' book!
In summary, there is ample evidence pointing to a sixteenth-century pseudepigrapher who referenced Panvinius' book for all of the prophecies up until Paul IV in 1559 (when Panvinius' book ends). The five popes between him and Urban VII (Pius IV, Pius V, Gregory XIII, and Sixtus V) would in recent memory and easy for anyone to describe. It is our belief that whoever perpetrated the ruse for the 1590 conclave used an actual prophetic document and modified all of the entries prior to coincide with the principle text on Pontifical history of that time. He then altered the next prophecy on the list "of the old city" to promote Girolamo Simoncelli who was the Cardinal of Orvieto (Latin urbs vetus = "old city") at the 1590 conclave. While this evidence supports the conspiracy to promote Simoncelli, what it does not explain is what has happened over the last four hundred years since Wion's publication.

Vatican : No End of Times and No Second Coming !
Vatican : No End of Times and No Second Coming !?!
Yes, thats correct – There will be NO End-Times / Revelation and NO SECOND COMING according to Pope Benedict !!!
The leader of the Catholic Church, Pope Benedict XVI, has called for the establishment of World Government and a New World Order.
In a speech made at the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace, the Pope called for the "construction of a world community, with a corresponding authority," to serve the "common good of the human family". As a means of defending global peace and justice, the pope's vision for the establishment of World Government and a New World Order is supposedly not to create a new superpower, but a new governing body that offers to those (politicians) who are responsible for making decisions, criteria for judgment and practical guidelines.
The pope was quoted as saying :
The proposed body (World Government) would not be a superpower, concentrated in the hands of a few, which would dominate all peoples, exploiting the weakest.
The pope also described his vision as a "moral force" or moral authority that has the "power to influence in accordance with reason, that is, a participatory authority, limited by law in its jurisdiction."
These latest remarks made by the Pope and the Catholic Church come as no surprise considering that in 2010 the Catholic Church sought the establishment of a new Central World Bank that would be responsible for regulating the global financial industry and the international money supply.
It was reported that the Vatican sought "a supranational authority" which would have worldwide scope and "universal jurisdiction" to guide and control global economic policies and decisions. China's new push for closer ties with Russia, the growing intrusions from the United Nations with regards to control of the internet and the latest remarks made by the catholic church all point to a new world order that will set in stone a path the world may not be able to recover from.
Pope Benedict XVI – The Last Pope According St-Malachy
Pope Benedict XVI preached on the Olivet discourse on Sunday 11/18/2012 in St. Peter's Square. I guess its not too surprising that he twisted the text to mean something completely alien to its context but conforming to the works oriented righteousness of Romanism. Let's keep in mind, "But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be accursed."(Ga 1:8) as we examine his explanation :
Jesus speaks of a future that is beyond our categories, and because of this Jesus uses images and words taken from the Old Testament, but, importantly, he inserts a new center, namely, himself, the mystery of his person and his death and resurrection. Today's passage too opens with some cosmic images of an apocalyptic nature: "The sun will be darkened, the moon will no longer give its light, the stars will fall from the sky and the powers in the skies will be shaken" (Mark 13:24-25); but this element is relativized by what follows: "Then the Son of Man will come upon the clouds in the sky with great power and glory" (13:26). The "Son of Man" is Jesus himself, who links the present with the future; the ancient words of the prophets have finally found a center in the person of the Messiah of Nazareth: he is the central event that, in the midst of the troubles of the world, remains the firm and stable point.
Another passage from today's Gospel confirms. Jesus says: "The sky and the earth will pass away but my words will not pass away" (13:31). In fact, we know that in the Bible the word of God is at the origin of creation: all creatures, starting with the cosmic elements – sun, moon, sky – obey God's Word, they exist insofar as they are "called" by it. This creative power of the divine Word ("Parola") is concentrated in Jesus Christ, the Word ("Verbo") made flesh, and also passes through his human words, which are the true "sky" that orients the thought and path of man on earth. For this reason Jesus does not describe the end of the world and when he uses apocalyptic images he does not conduct himself like a "visionary." On the contrary, he wants to take away the curiosity of his disciples in every age about dates and predictions and wishes instead to give them a key to a deep, essential reading, and above all to indicate the right path to take, today and tomorrow, to enter into eternal life. Everything passes – the Lord tells us – but God's Word does not change, and before this Word each of us is responsible for his conduct. It is on this basis that we will be judged.
Pope Benedict XVI "On the Coming of the Son of Man" (Full Text)
It is because this sort of nonsense that the term eisegesis was coined. It means reading meaning into a text rather than reading a meaning from a text. Its really so bad its hard to know where to start but I bolded two major errors. First, when Jesus said the he would come on the clouds with great glory he was referencing the son of Man passage in Daniel's vision (Dan 7:13). He indeed identified himself as divine. Yet, Pope Benedict seems to deny that Jesus is speaking of cosmic judgement at His return. Yet that is exactly what he is speaking of, in fact, he was answering a question about the signs of his coming and (in direct contradcition to the infallible pope) the end of the world.
And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?(Mt 24:3, KJV)
Doesn't it seem odd that Jesus is addressing the very thing the pope says he is not? And finally, the pontiff just abandons the text entirely and spins it toward Romanist heresy with this canard, " before this Word each of us is responsible for his conduct. It is on this basis that we will be judged" Anyone who is judged on his conduct will be cast into eternal hell, even our most righteous acts are like filthy rags (Isa 64:6). It is only those who have accepted that authentic Gospel who will have the righteousness of Christ imputed to them. A few passages come to mind:
"And to the one who does not work but believes in him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is counted as righteousness," (Ro 4:5)
"For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.(2 Co 5:21)
"For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God",(Eph 2:8)
In justification God imputes the righteousness of Christ to the believer, which cancels God's judgment on the believer. It's not based on conduct rather faith in Christ. "For we hold that one is justified by faith apart from works of the law." (Ro 3:28)
The Pope on The Coming of the son of Man
Pope Benedict XVI "On the Coming of the Son of Man"
Be warned, the pope is preaching a false Gospel that leads to damnation.

Is Pain for People with Dementia a Problem?
People with dementia feel pain the same as all of us but their deteriorating brain function can mean that they can't clearly communicate their distress; instead they may be agitated, restless or shout out. By working together as a multi-disciplinary team, looking for non-verbal signals and acting quickly we can control their pain and help each individual feel comfortable and content.
Is pain different in dementia?
Dementia doesn't actually cause pain but the elderly and especially those with Alzheimer's are more far likely to suffer conditions that are painful. Falls, accidents, arthritis and many medical conditions can all contribute to their distress. It was previously thought that the brain damage in dementia stopped pain sensation. But recent research looking at MRI scans has confirmed that they suffer the same as everyone; they just can't explain their feelings, especially in the later stages when their functions of cognition and communication have declined. In fact it's been shown that people with dementia, especially those in residential care actually report less pain and have less analgesia.
and effectively manage their discomfort.
In the early stages of dementia, people may still be able to say that they're in pain but their declining ability to understand and communicate may make it more difficult to pin-point the location and severity of their symptoms and reliably ask for and take medication.
It's not just dementia that can stop people reporting pain. They may be frightened, not want to be a hassle, depressed or have cultural or religious beliefs that pain should be bravely tolerated. So it's important to have strategies to assess pain. Simply asking if everything's OK may not be enough, even if their communication is still good.
Non-verbal signs can be really helpful in assessing pain at all stages of dementia. Some of these behaviours can be caused by emotional distress or part of normal disease progression but pain should always be considered because treating the cause or the soothing the symptoms can make a huge difference.
Vocal signs: moaning crying or shouting or sometimes unusual silence.
part still or protect and guard a specific area.
pressure. You may notice sweating or a change in skin colouration.
in pain withdraw and become flat, quiet and uncommunicative.
the other hand lethargy, low energy and increased sleeping.
Appetite:You may notice decreased appetite, eating less and weight loss.
What happens if we don't treat pain?
If pain isn't recognised, a person will not only suffer unnecessarily but they may also be treated for the wrong thing. Restless or disruptive behaviour may result in sedation with anti-psychotics, silent withdrawal may be interpreted as depression. Any medications given will have side effects and won't get to the root of the problem.
Musculoskeletal pain can decrease mobility, interfere with activities and increase the likelihood of falls. Persistent pain of any kind can worsen the symptoms of dementia and profoundly impair their quality of life.
It's not easy to measure pain; we usually have to reply on what the patient says, rated on a scale of zero to ten. For individuals with dementia it's particularly tricky as they may not fully understand the questions and struggle to explain their symptoms. The Australian Pain Society recommends the Brief Pain Inventory as a method of assessment.
Wherever possible we need to treat the cause of the pain and for chronic, on going pain its management should be an essential part of the care plan. Extra medication can be added for any breakthrough symptoms.
We've also used non-drug therapies to ease discomfort, these include massage, hot and cold packs, gentle exercise and manipulation. Postural care like checking chairs and beds have enough body and neck support can have a dramatic effect and relaxation techniques can also be useful.
Pain can be debilitating, especially when an individual has difficulty communicating their suffering. But by watching, assessing and treating we can prevent discomfort and distress.

Seven of the Most Overrated Games
Posted on March 5, 2019 by Leo Faria	Leave a comment
A shocking revelation to all: not everyone at WTMG agrees all the time with everyone else's opinions regarding games, the scores we give them, and the reception they receive elsewhere by critics and public. We're only human, and we each have our own tastes and opinions, and that also includes not being fans of some really critically and commercially acclaimed titles.
We decided to pick one game each, and list why we think said game is overrated and undeserving of the overwhelming amount of praise it receives. By no means we're saying our opinion is what matters, and by no means we are judging others for liking these games. To be honest, some of us actually like the games we consider to be overrated.
Bring in the pitchforks, folks. It's time for discord.
Leo's pick – Overwatch
I just don't get it. I had already heard from dozens of colleagues how phenomenal Overwatch was prior to checking it out for myself. At the time, the game was receiving a truckload of Game of the Year awards, everybody and their mother was cosplaying as Tracer or D.Va, a professional league of its own was being created, and so on.
When I finally got my hands on Overwatch, I was pleased with the visuals, easy controls and the instantly likable cast of characters. I also noticed how shallow of a game Overwatch ended up being, thanks to a very limited amount of modes, repetitiveness, scarce amount of maps, and the fact it featured absolutely no single-player content despite its 60 dollar pricetag on console. There was fun to be had, without a doubt, but nothing that made me want to play it for more than fifteen minutes at a time, and definitely not enough to make me want to endure the grind that was leveling up when there were no events taking place.
Overwatch was also partially responsible for the introduction of lootboxes in full-priced console games and for that I can't ever forgive it.
Jason's pick – Resident Evil VII: Biohazard
I enjoyed Resident Evil VII: Biohazard, but I simply think it gets more credit than it deserves. The opening hours were excellent and I found myself holding my breath for much longer than my lungs liked. But as the story progressed and moved beyond Jack and Marguerite Baker, I found myself becoming less and less interested. As a whole, the game was a great time, but as the truth about Eveline and The Molded evolved I became less interested. I was far more interested in the horror of the backwoods family than the lumbering goo monsters and the longer the game went on, the less it scared me.
There's no arguing that Resident Evil VII: Biohazard was a great comeback for the franchise, but it started stronger than it ended and just doesn't deserve all of the praise it gets.
Todd's pick – Fortnite Battle Royale
Since no one else here will bite this bullet, I will. This isn't me saying Fortnite isn't a fun game. This isn't me saying Fortnite is a bad game. This is me saying that it is overrated and over inflated because of the influencers. Fortnite is a barebones shooter and looter, but it excels at marketing skins that you will replace in two months. It excels at "keeping up with the Jones's." It caters to the influencers that then cater to children. Plus, it is acceptable to the parents so Billy, who can't play Call of Duty, can jump on this. I completely understand why it is a phenom. It caters to every addictive attribute in children. It is McDonald's. Nothing in it is actually good. They just excel at making you want to walk in the door regardless because a five minute experience, that all your friends do, is better than a good experience.
Thomas' pick – Doom (2016)
There's no denying DOOM was a pretty good game; a standout in the otherwise underwhelming 2016. However, it had some pretty major issues that cause it to fall way short of the praise it gets.
For one, the story is mind-numbingly stupid. Which wouldn't be a problem for a Doom game if it didn't continuously shove it down your throat. From locking you in rooms while Generic Evil Scientist guy monologues, to mindless droning on during a level (interrupting the fantastic music), it's an ever present menace. Even at the start, while Doomguy shuts the guy up at first, you get trapped in the elevator less then 10 minutes later and forced to listen anyway. The game constantly says "We're going to be different and make a statement, but not". Arcade mode fixed this by removing the entire story, but it came way too late.
The other major issue is the uninspired map design. Instead of the series' usual sprawling labyrinths to explore, Doom's maps were mostly just linear hallways connecting arena segments. Foundry was a fantastic exception, but for the most part the others followed the same pattern and it quickly got repetitive. Follow hallway, clear area of monsters, follow the next hallway, rinse and repeat.
Jordan's Pick – Uncharted 4
I realize this may be a controversial pick, but I felt that Uncharted 4 under delivered on quite a few things that I love about the series. Right off the bat the game starts off with a very awkward flashback sequence that not only introduces a brother that is never once mentioned previously, but also a very important gameplay mechanic that you'll use numerous times which Nathan apparently forgot about through UC1-3. The brother angle didn't sit right with me and it may have been from the changes in development and directors it had to go through, but It still felt forced in and awkward.
Beyond that the entire tone of the game felt off. The story was a bit drab filled with relationship drama from his wife or his brother. Quite a few extremely long and drawn out sections that offer nothing to explore like the Madagascar sequence. It repeated actions much too often, I swear there was a point where you lift your brother up on a ledge for him to drop a box down for you four or five times in a row. The biggest disappointment for me, however, was the removal of the mysticism. There were quite a few times where this could come into play, and it was even very prominent in the multiplayer.
I'm not saying Uncharted 4 is a bad game, it is still a very entertaining action adventure game that had some enjoyable moments. Looking back on it though, I thought it fell short of what made me love the series as well as some design decisions that didn't do much for me.
Kyle's Pick – Halo 5 Guardians
I grew up playing Halo. It was the series that got me into first person shooters. Each game in the Halo series usually has a fantastic campaign with a superb multiplayer experience to go with it. So when Halo 5 came out I was disappointed with the game. Whilst it is generally accepted that the campaign is disappointing, I found the entire package to be overrated.
Beyond the shallow story is the worst Halo multiplayer experience to date. I don't like the changes 343 made to the formula, for the first time in the series I didn't feel like I was playing a Halo game. I'm all for a change but it felt like Guardians was simply chasing trends that it didn't need to, adding ADS for no reason is an example of this. Map design was completely forgettable with no real standouts other than the midship remake.The post launch support whilst free, wasn't impressive either. Forge and Big Team Battle, major components of the series for years were missing from the game only to be shoehorned in at a later date.
Halo 5 wasn't all that bad. There are a couple of moments where I did enjoy my time with the games multiplayer. Namely in the eSports styled mode, Breakout. A one life competitive mode that was fast and refreshing. The mode at it's absolute best was full of intense bursts of action. Warzone was also a fresh idea but the execution was lacking.
Heidi's Pick- The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
The Legend of Zelda games have been some of my absolute favorites during all my years as a gamer. From the diverse characters you encounter, to the challenging level designs, to the rich storylines, nearly every entry to the franchise has been a memorable experience. So it greatly surprised me when one of the most anticipated titles in Zelda history, Breath of the Wild, just seemed to fall a bit flat.
Now I'm not saying that Breath of the Wild was a bad game, far from it in fact. It simply, for me, didn't hold the same level charm or intrigue as many of the other Zelda titles. Yes there was a deep storyline and there were plenty of places to visit over the vast map, but I felt as though the temples and "boss" fights were seriously lacking in variety and ingenuity.
There were a ton of shrines to discover, but they only had a few different categories of obstacles to offer, like fighting a mechanical foe to test your might or doing a platforming puzzle. They started feeling stale after the first few and then really started to feel tedious after going through dozens more of the same thing. Then you have the Divine Beasts that serve as the main "temple" equivalent levels of the game. There are only four of them and they all pretty much feel exactly the same. I really missed the richness of having an area focused temple with its own unique theme and music. There was a lot Breath of the Wild did well, but it didn't feel like it had the same charisma and magic as many of the other games.
What about you? Do you consider any widely acclaimed game out there to be overrated as well? Leave your thoughts below!

"Change is the one thing you can count on," said the population expert. The meteorologist put it this way: "The only constant on earth is change. Just look at the weather." The technology expert predicted, "We'll see more change in the closing years of this century than in all the rest of it combined." But change is not just taking place in population, nature and technology. Consider the borders of nations, as well as their political and economic structures. Where is East Germany today? The USSR? Zaire?
When change makes the present look bleak and the future look even darker, those who fear the Lord should remember His constancy, encourage one another and meditate on His name together (Mal. 3:16). This is just one of the messages the prophet Malachi brings us in the last book of the Old Testament. Do you want to know more about this prophet and his other messages for us?

The price of cars continues to climb, and this includes SUVs and crossovers. Although most manufacturers are now offering more standard features on SUV models, the price of a base trim averages about $2,000 more than it did just a couple of years ago, with the average model having a starting price surpassing $30,000.
One of the problems consumers have when choosing an SUV is how to obtain the desired convenience features without paying extra for add-ons that aren't really needed. Most crossovers and SUVs now come with optional performance packages, similar to what is offered in some car models and pickup trucks. There are also differences in actual sticker prices based on dealer invoice costs and the confusing dealer holdbacks.
Smart consumers will want to make a checklist before heading out to the dealership and stay within its parameters. Spending more than you intend is easy to do when buying a car. Below are five tips to help you save money on your SUV purchase.
Regardless of what is advertised on TV by local dealerships, looking at the actual sticker prices online is a good practice. Consumers living in a larger metropolitan area will want to examine the websites of every dealer in town selling the same model. Some of the special low prices shown in the TV ads apply to only one or two vehicles on the dealer lot, and the price will be good only for those with exceptional credit.
Reputable dealers will list the price of every vehicle currently in stock and update this price on the company website on a regular basis. Customers should carefully note the price difference between trim levels and check out whether the trim offered is part of a special performance package. Some buyers go as far as buying their model directly online without haggling with the dealer.
In addition to interest paid on a vehicle loan, cost of car ownership includes maintenance that is not covered by warranty, the amount paid at the gas pump, and any monetary loss due to rapid depreciation when it comes time to trade in the car or sell it to another party.
The cost of insuring the vehicle must also be taken into consideration. It is important to review model insurance costs ahead of time and review the safety information gathered by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety and other reputable online sources because the amount paid in insurance premiums is in part tied to the safety history of the vehicle.
Individuals with a less than favorable credit score may want to think about ways to boost this number before applying for financing. A loan application involves a credit check, and many of these checks can themselves lower a credit rating slightly. It is better to find the means to pay down credit cards and even transfer funds to lower interest cards several months prior to applying for a vehicle loan.
Boosting your credit score can save you hundreds or even thousands on the cost of a loan. In some circumstances, you may benefit from credit repair service.
Dealers get a bigger slice of the money pie when they sell extended warranties and additional rust/corrosion/paint protection programs. Of course the dealer will offer these nice-sounding extras, but in most cases the factory warranty will cover the basics for 36 months, the corrosion buildup for five or six years, and the powertrain for somewhere between 60-120 months. This is usually an unnecessary expense that car buyers should not allow themselves to get roped into.
The invoice price paid by the dealer to the manufacturer is often slightly more than the retail price. This small percentage increase is refunded to the dealer several times per year. Holdback money is usually off-limits to the consumer.
Customers should avoid bringing up the issue when haggling over prices. The one exception would be if the dealer claims that he or she is making no profit on the sale of the vehicle, something that is definitely not true.

Updated classification system between the reporting frameworks of the ECB and the EBA
The European Central Bank (ECB) and the European Banking Authority (EBA) have today published a second version of the classification system between their respective reporting frameworks.
The first version of the classification system was published in February 2010. This second edition includes further enhancements and updates a series of reconciliation proposals which are in the process of being implemented. These efforts will help further streamline the reporting by entities that are required to deliver data to the Eurosystem as well as to supervisory authorities. The classification system also facilitates a better understanding of the links between different data frameworks and creates synergies between datasets originally designed for different purposes.
The classification system is composed of two elements. The first element is a bridging manual linking the ECB's monetary and financial statistics requirements with the supervisory reporting templates (FINREP, COREP and Large Exposures) developed by the EBA. The second element is a database that aims to help reporting agents and other users to identify similarities and differences between data for ECB statistical purposes and data for financial supervisors in the context of the EBA framework. The relational database can be downloaded from the ECB's web site.
The classification system was prepared by the Joint Expert Group on Reconciliation of credit institutions' statistical and supervisory reporting requirements (JEGR), established jointly by the European System of Central Banks' (ESCB) Statistics Committee and Financial Stability Committee together with the EBA. Together with the second edition, which is only available in electronic format, the ECB and EBA will soon publish also a pocket version of the JEGR manual as a hardcopy publication. The pocket manual provides a brief overview of the differences and commonalities between the ECB's statistical framework and the EBA's supervisory framework. Moreover, the web page hosting the JEGR classification system will soon include also a F.A.Q. section.
The ECB and the EBA will continue to maintain and further enhance the classification system over time, in particular in view of forthcoming amendments to the FINREP, COREP and Large Exposures templates as well as potentially relevant changes to the ECB statistical reporting framework.

The second generation NeWave water pumps will come in the same six models, with improvements in water flow output, better efficiency and less noise. However, one interesting change to note is that the smallest NeWave 1.6 is adjustable from 800 to 1600 lph (211-422 gph), especially useful when trying to fine tune flow in a tiny nano or pico reef. As you can see in the image of the NeWave 1.6 the water flow is controlled by a sliding adjuster which blocks the intake for the propeller. When the NeWave 1.6 is released in Europe we expect that it will become a widely popular propeller pump for the diminutive reef tank owners because not only is the NeWave 1.6 one of the smallest propeller pumps on the market, it will certainly be one of the most affordable small adjustable propeller pumps.

Rampage is yet another attempt by Hollywood to finally solve the supposed video game curse that has seen the likes of Warcraft, Silent Hill, Resident Evil, Hitman, House Of The Dead, Doom, and Max Payne roundly chastised by critics instead of embraced. But while there's no denying that the Dwayne Johnson-led Rampage is an adaptation of the 1986 arcade game that saw players taking control of gigantic monsters that reduced cities to rubble while trying to survive the constant attacks from military forces, the movie version does deviate from the source material quite a bit.
Let's just say I said no to 'Rock-zilla' [laughs]. It was presented in a room much like this and I was like, 'That's a hard pass from me.' That sounds really not grounded at all. It's like a Saturday Night Live skit a little bit. I wanted to balance out some kind of grounding aspect with the fun, you know. So like Marvel is a tone that I really go, 'Okay that's the zone.' The villains are fun. I have these two rich billionaires, and one is like an ice queen, super-intelligent, cunning [played by Malin Ackerman], and then her brother is like the over-weight guy who can't figure out how to work the keyboard. Those are the villains! Those are the bad guys in the movies. Again, I grew up on Jurassic Park, or like the way Marvel has fun I was like, 'I wanna do that,' but I also don't want 'Rock-zilla.' I wanna have fun but I also need it to have heart and feel grounded on some level.
The first trailer for Rampage certainly suggests that the film has the same blend of comedy, action, sci-fi and destruction that has served Marvel so well in recent years. While the sight of Dwayne Johnson trying to subdue a giant and rampaging gorilla, werewolf and lizard should be preposterously entertaining. You can check out the trailer for Rampage below for proof.
Rampage is released into cinemas on April 13. to keep track of all the movies opening in theaters this year, bookmark our handy 2018 Movie Release calendar.
