Does this herald the end of the Age of Grace


Eschatology speaking does the Pope's shocking and stunning resignation herald the end of time as we know it? I start by saying I am not a Catholic and indeed find many aspects relating to Popes and pontiffs a holdover from the Caesars of Rome who were indeed Popes. Be that as it may and that is factually correct, I recall reading that there is a room in the Vatican that has portraits of all popes and that after this current pope there is room for one more.

Then there is Malachy who listed short phrases in Latin denoting popes in the future. These phrases have been eerily accurate! There is but the last phrase remaining - Peter of Rome and that Rome will be destroyed.

Know also that the Treaty of Rome fomalized what became the European Union. The Union is under severe monetary strain. This monetary Union was apt to failure as these many nations had divergent monetary policies that could not easily be melded as was thought. Now with the Euro crisis in full effect the thought has entered some that the Euro might just fail!

We can add to this mess the destructive "Arab Spring"! The leading Arab nation Egypt is now directly opposed to its own treaty of peace with Israel. The crazed President of Iran who dreams of the Mahdi coming to destroy all non Muslims recently visited Cairo and is very near nuclear weapons. Russia is stirring the pot internationally and China is pressuring Japan militarily in the South China Sea. Not to mention the kooky North Koreans and there ongoing nuke and missile programs!

Then there are self appointed leaders like Kissinger (and those who formed thr EC later EU and created the Euro) who are yearning for Obama to become THE world leader!!! RFID chips are being readied for humans not just dogs!

Where is this all heading? I am not sure but it sure does look like it could fit onto Biblical eschatology of the end times! If nothing else it is real food for serious thought. A pity our world leaders for the most part lack critical thought doesn't it! Not all for sure but seemingly most. Or is it that they are powerless to change the path they are walking? Could they be led without knowing that they are being fooled? President GW Bush sure as hell was!!! And look what that got is in the US!!!

This post is but an overview of my thoughts and not an in-depth study of the issue.

I for one am now in a more heighten formed of alert!! The Age might well be in its death throes! What say you???
