Vatican Watchers Stunned As Pope Francis Drops Title ‘Vicar Of Christ’ Assumes Power As Jorge Mario Bergoglio In ‘His Own Name’ Fulfilling John 5:43 Prophecy Of Antichrist

Pope Francis now wants to be known by his own name as he drops the title ‘vicar of Christ’ and assumes power as Jorge Mario Bergoglio – Antichrist!

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

Archbishop Viganò said it’s as if Pope Francis now views himself as becoming “master of the Church, free to demolish it from within without having to answer to anyone. In short, a tyrant,” he said.

Roman Catholics from deep within the Vatican are sounding the alarm bells today because Pope Francis is once again doing wacky, end times stuff. Today’s story comes from an article on the Catholic site Life Site News from a statement they received from Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò. Viganò is quite alarmed that Pope Francis has dropped the title ‘Vicar of Christ’ in the annual Vatican Yearbook, and instead has listed himself in ‘his own name’ of Jorge Mario Bergoglio. Life Site News and Viganò are rightly alarmed by this breach of long-standing Vatican protocol, but if they knew anything about bible prophecy, they’d really be quaking in their boots. What Pope Francis did is a prophecy of Antichrist!

“But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you. I am come in my Father’s name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.” John 5:42,43 (KJB)

The Roman Catholic Church is not the Church that Jesus shed His blood to create, it is the demonic counterfeit. Combined with Vatican City and the Holy See, it is actually MYSTERY, BABYLON from Revelation 17 and 18. Every pope for the last 1,700 years has pretended to be the ‘vicar of Christ’, the person ‘in place of Christ’ and running the Roman church. But every pope has also retained the title of Pontifex Maximus, the early pre-Catholic church fathers said that the Pontifex Maximus was the “King of Heathendom“, the evil high priest of the pagan mystery religion of Rome. And they were right.

This is not the first time that Pope Francis has asserted authority in his own name, it happened back in 2015 when he addressed the General Assembly of the United Nations. You can see it in the video below. This is what he said on that day:

“Thank you for your kind words.  Once again, following a tradition by which I feel honored, the Secretary General of the United Nations has invited the Pope to address this distinguished assembly of nations.  In my own name, and that of the entire Catholic community, I wish to express to you, Mr Ban Ki-moon, my heartfelt gratitude.  I greet the Heads of State and Heads of Government present, as well as the ambassadors, diplomats and political and technical officials accompanying them, the personnel of the United Nations engaged in this 70th Session of the General Assembly, the personnel of the various programs and agencies of the United Nations family, and all those who, in one way or another, take part in this meeting.  Through you, I also greet the citizens of all the nations represented in this hall.  I thank you, each and all, for your efforts in the service of mankind.” source

So here in 2020, in this crazy, crazy end times year where the whole world has gone off the deep end, Pope Francis no longer needs the phony ‘historical titles’ of the Roman Catholic Church, he comes now instead in ‘his own name’ of Jorge Mario Bergoglio as he prepares to fulfill the prophecies related to the Antichrist and the Whore of Babylon over which he is the king. 2020 continues to be the year of prophecy in this unbelievable end times roller coaster ride.

ANTICHRIST: POPE FRANCIS TELLS CATHOLICS IN ROME THAT A ‘PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP’ WITH JESUS IS ‘DANGEROUS AND HARMFUL’

Archbishop Viganò: Has Pope Francis now ‘disavowed’ being Vicar of Christ?

FROM LIFE SITE NEWS: Former papal nuncio Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò has called the dropping of Pope Francis’ essential title “Vicar of Christ” from the 2020 Pontifical Yearbook an act that appears to “officially alter the Papacy,” such that the Pope “no longer recognizes himself as guardian.”

“This change in the layout and content of an official text of the Catholic Church cannot be ignored, nor is it possible to attribute it to a gesture of humility on the part of Francis, which is not in keeping with his name being so prominently featured,” wrote Viganò in a statement he sent to LifeSiteNews (read full statement below).

“Instead, it seems possible to see in it the admission — passed over in silence — of a sort of usurpation, whereby it is not the “Servus servorum Dei” [The Servant of the Servants of God] who reigns, but the person of Jorge Mario Bergoglio, who has officially disavowed being the Vicar of Christ, the Successor of the Prince of the Apostles and the Supreme Pontiff, as if they were annoying trappings of the past: only mere ‘historical titles,’” he added.

LifeSite reported April 2 that  Pope Francis, in a surprise move, dropped the historic and essential title “Vicar of Christ” from the 2020 Pontifical Yearbook, the Holy See’s annual directory, relegating the title to a footnote, calling it a “historical title.”

While previous yearbooks listed the title “Vicar of Christ” and the name of the reigning Pope under that title, this year’s annual directory simply lists the name “Jorge Mario Bergoglio,” the name of the man who became Pope Francis in 2013. The title “Vicar of Jesus Christ” stems from Holy Scripture where Jesus granted St. Peter the power of the keys in the Church.

Archbishop Viganò said it’s as if Pope Francis now views himself as becoming “master of the Church, free to demolish it from within without having to answer to anyone. In short, a tyrant,” he said.

Cardinal Gerhard Müller, former prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, also raised concern about the Pope’s move, calling the change “theological barbarism.”

“No Pope or Ecumenical Council,” the German prelate continued, “could, with reference to their highest authority over the Church, do away with the primacy, the episcopacy, or the Sacraments, or to re-interpret them in their essence.” Matteo Bruni, director of the Vatican press office, told Catholic News Service that “there has been no suppression” of a title.

“The definition of ‘historic’ in relation to the titles attributed to the pope on one of the pages dedicated to him in the Annuario Pontificio of 2020 seems to me to indicate the bond with the history of the papacy,” said Bruni, adding that all the other titles “are understood to be tied historically to the title of bishop of Rome because at the moment he is designated by the conclave to guide the church of Rome, the one elected acquires the titles tied to this nomination.”

Archbishop Viganò gained prominence worldwide when he made it public in August 2018 that Pope Francis was part of the cover-up for then-Cardinal Theodore McCarrick who abused seminarians and priests.  READ MORE

Full statement by Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò:

“You Have Said So”

“Truly, I say to you, one of you will betray me.” And they were very sorrowful, and began to say to him one after another, “Is it I, Lord?” He answered, “He who has dipped his hand in the dish with me, will betray me. The Son of man goes as it is written of him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! It would have been better for that man if he had not been born.” Judas, who betrayed him, said, “Is it I, Master?” He said to him, “You have said so.” Mt 26, 20-25 

On March 25, the 2020 Pontifical Yearbook was published with a real novelty. It may seem like a typographical trifle, in the part dedicated to the reigning pontiff, but this is not the case. Until last year, in fact, Francis’s titles were listed at the top of the page, beginning with “Vicar of Christ”, “Successor of the Prince of the Apostles” etc., and ending with his birth name and a very brief biography.

In the new edition, on the other hand, the secular name JORGE MARIO BERGOGLIO stands out in large letters, followed by the biography, the date of election and the beginning of his “ministry as universal Pastor of the Church.” Separated by a dash and the words, “Historical titles,” all the titles of the Roman Pontiff are then listed, as if they were no longer an integral part of the Munus Petrinum that legitimizes the authority which the Church recognizes in the Pope.

This change in the layout and content of an official text of the Catholic Church cannot be ignored, nor is it possible to attribute it to a gesture of humility on the part of Francis, which is not in keeping with his name being so prominently featured. Instead, it seems possible to see in it the admission — passed over in silence — of a sort of usurpation, whereby it is not the “Servus servorum Dei” who reigns, but the person of Jorge Mario Bergoglio, who has officially disavowed being the Vicar of Christ, the Successor of the Prince of the Apostles and the Supreme Pontiff, as if they were annoying trappings of the past: only mere “historical titles.”

An almost defiant gesture — one might say — in which Francis transcends every title. Or worse: an act to officially alter the Papacy, by which he no longer recognizes himself as guardian, but becomes master of the Church, free to demolish it from within without having to answer to anyone. In short, a tyrant.

May the significance of this most serious act not escape pastors and the faithful, for by it the sweet Christ on earth — as St. Catherine called the Pope — releases himself from his role as Vicar to proclaim himself, in a delirium of pride, absolute monarch even with respect to Christ.

We are approaching the sacred days of the Savior’s Passion, which commences in the Upper Room with the betrayal of one of the Twelve. It is not illegitimate to wonder whether the understanding words with which Bergoglio tried to rehabilitate Judas on June 16, 2016 were not a clumsy attempt to exonerate himself.

This chilling thought is further confirmed by the terrible decision to allow an almost universal ban of the public celebration of Easter, for the first time since the Resurrection of Our Lord Jesus Christ.

“The Son of man goeth as it is written of him: but woe unto that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! it had been good for that man if he had not been born.” (Mt 26:24) + Carlo Maria Viganò, Archbishop

Address by His Holiness Pope Francis to the United Nations General Assembly Given In ‘His Own Name’

This is the original video from his address to the United Nations back in 2015, you will hear him say ‘in my own name’ in the first 01:30. But in a shocking sidenote, and something I totally missed 5 years ago, in the first 10 seconds of this video, the camera is focused on the face of Bill Gates staring back at us. When you think of all the nastiness that Bill Gates is up to right now concerning ID2020, Event 201 and the coronavirus pandemic, it becomes quite chilling indeed. Emjoy!

THE BIBLE BELIEVERS SUNDAY SERVICE: For God So Loved The World

Published

on

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

John 3:16 in your King James Bible gives you Paul’s gospel in a single verse and can save your soul in the time it takes to read it, and believe it!

One of the most amazing things about John 3:16, the verse that I got saved on 35 years ago, is that it makes the connection between John’s gospel and Paul’s gospel. John 3:16 shows us how to get saved in perfect harmony with 1 Corinthians 15:1-4. Paul tells you what the gospel is, and John shows you how to apply it. Earlier in John 3, Jesus gives us the qualification for salvation in the Kingdom of God – Ye MUST be born again! In Acts 28, Luke tells us that our apostle Paul preached the gospel of the Kingdom of God.

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” John 3:16 (KJB)

For whatever reason, and it honestly escapes me, many Bible believers fail or refuse to make this very important scriptural connection between Paul’s gospel and John’s gospel. Today we will make that connection so wonderfully clear and so gloriously plain that you’d have to work to miss it.

SUNDAY SERVICE STUDY NOTES: For God So Loved The World

For God So Loved The World

I. The Source Of Salvation: The Love Of God

John 3:16 (KJB)
“For God so loved the world…”

Key Points:

  • Salvation begins with God, not man.
  • The motive behind redemption is love, not human merit.
  • God’s love extends to the world, meaning all mankind.

“But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” Romans 5:8 (KJB)

“Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.” 1 John 4:10 (KJB)

II. The Gift Of Salvation: God Gave His Son

John 3:16 (KJB)
“…that he gave his only begotten Son…”

Key Points:

  • Salvation is a gift, not something earned.
  • The price of redemption was the Son of God.
  • Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son, unique and divine.

“Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift.” 2 Corinthians 9:15 (KJB)

“In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;” Ephesians 1:7 (KJB)

III. The Simplicity Of Salvation: Believe

John 3:16 (KJB)
“…that whosoever believeth in him…”

Key Points:

  • Salvation is offered to whosoever.
  • The condition is belief, not works.
  • Faith must be placed in Him—Jesus Christ.

“Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.” Acts 16:31 (KJB)

“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.” Ephesians 2:8–9 (KJB)

IV. The Escape From Judgment: Should Not Perish

John 3:16 (KJB)
“…should not perish…”

Key Points:

  • Without Christ, man is already condemned.
  • Hell is the eternal destination for the lost.
  • Jesus Christ is the only escape from perishing.

“He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already…” John 3:18 (KJB)

“And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.” Revelation 20:14 (KJB)

V. The Promise Of Salvation: Everlasting Life

John 3:16 (KJB)
“…but have everlasting life.”

Key Points:

  • Eternal life is present possession for the believer.
  • Salvation is everlasting, not temporary.
  • This life is found only in Jesus Christ.

“And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.” 1 John 5:11 (KJB)

“Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.” John 6:47 (KJB)

Conclusion: The Greatest Invitation Ever Given

John 3:16 reveals five great truths:

  • God’s Love — The motive of salvation
  • God’s Gift — The Son given for sinners
  • God’s Condition — Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ
  • God’s Warning — Perish without Christ
  • God’s Promise — Everlasting life

“Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.” 1 John 4:10 (KJB)

“The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.” 2 Peter 3:9 (KJB)

“Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.” Romans 3:24-26 (KJB)

“For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another. But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared, Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.” Titus 3:3-7 (KJB)

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” John 3:16 (KJB)

“I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.” Galatians 2:20 (KJB)

The Middle East Powder Keg Is Exploding: Trump’s Iran War Spreads as More US Troops Die, Children Are Killed in School Blast, US Baghdad Embassy Is Hit

Trump Knew Iran Could Close the Strait of Hormuz But Went to War Anyway as 13 US Servicemembers Now Lie Dead and Missiles Strike US Embassy in Baghdad

War always begins with speeches about strength and victory, but it inevitably ends with funerals. Only weeks into Donald Trump’s war with Iran, the first grim receipts are already arriving. Thirteen American servicemembers are dead, a girls’ school in Minab lies in ruins with the bodies of children pulled from the rubble, and now missiles are landing inside the heavily fortified compound of the United States embassy in Baghdad. What was promised as an ‘easy victory’ against Tehran is already morphing into the kind of widening Middle East war that history tells us ends in heart-rending misery and unbelievable destruction.

But tidings out of the east and out of the north shall trouble him: therefore he shall go forth with great fury to destroy, and utterly to make away many.” Daniel 11:44 (KJB)

When Trump ordered American forces into open conflict with Iran, he knew exactly what the risks were. Military planners had warned for decades that if Tehran ever felt cornered, the retaliation would not stay contained within Iran’s borders. It would spread through the region like fire through dry brush — through Iraq, through the Persian Gulf, and through the narrow choke point of the Strait of Hormuz. Now that warning is becoming a stark reality. In fact, things are so bad that Trump is now sending 5,000 US Marines to be the first boots on the ground to try and wrest control of the situation back out of the hands of the Iranians. Based on recent troop deployments and warship relocations, this war could easily last well into winter and beyond. I want very much to see the United States win this thing and get our troops home quickly, but things are not trending in that direction.

As of mid-March 13th U.S. servicemembers have been killed and others seriously wounded as the conflict intensifies. The number has climbed steadily as Iran-aligned militias across the region launch drones, rockets, and missiles at American positions. But the most haunting images of this war are not coming from a battlefield. They’re coming from the rubble of a school in the Iranian city of Minab.

An explosion tore through the Shajareh Tayyebeh elementary school, collapsing the building and killing roughly 170 children and teachers, most of them young schoolgirls. Early reports say the blast was caused by a U.S. Tomahawk cruise missile strike based on faulty intelligence, and the Pentagon has already announced an investigation. The result was one of the darkest moments of the conflict so far. Rows of small coffins, parents digging through concrete with bare hands, and classrooms turned into graves. Meanwhile the war itself continues to spread.

Iran has threatened to choke off the Strait of Hormuz, the narrow passage through which roughly one-fifth of the world’s oil supply flows. If that waterway is closed, the economic shock would ripple across the entire planet almost instantly. And the violence is no longer limited to Iran.

Missiles have now struck inside the U.S. embassy compound in Baghdad, a clear warning that Iran’s network of proxy militias across Iraq has entered the fight. Attacks like this are designed to do one thing: expand the battlefield and drag the United States deeper into the region. This is how Middle East wars spiral out of control in the blink of an eye. They begin with targeted strikes and promises of quick victories. But every retaliation demands another response, every escalation invites another counterstrike, and before long the conflict spreads far beyond the place where it started.

The Strait of Hormuz is now under threat. American forces across the Middle East are on high alert. Iranian proxy groups are mobilizing from Iraq to the Gulf. Missiles are hitting diplomatic compounds. And the war is still only in its opening weeks. History has shown us again and again that once wars in the Middle East begin to widen across borders, they become far harder to contain than the leaders who launched them ever imagined. And right now, the signs of that widening conflict are everywhere. Pray for our president that he would get saved, and then that the Holy Spirit would give him some much-needed wisdom and discernment because, if not, we’re going to find ourselves smack in the middle of World War Trump.

BOOTS ON THE GROUND! President Trump Orders 5,000 Marines To Deploy To The Strait Of Hormuz As His War With Iran Grows Harder To Contain

Published

on

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

Donald Trump has deployed thousands of US Marines to the Strait of Hormuz amid mounting fears that America is set to put troops on the ground as the world’s oil supply is strangled.

The Strait of Hormuz is not just another stretch of water on a map. It is the narrow artery through which nearly a fifth of the world’s oil supply must pass, and when tension builds there the entire global system begins to shake. Now thousands of U.S. Marines and additional naval forces are being moved toward the region as the possibility of confrontation with Iran grows, and the world is once again staring at the Middle East powder keg. World War 3, anyone?

“For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows.” Matthew 24:7,8 (KJB)

When America starts moving Marines and warships into position around the Persian Gulf, that is not routine diplomacy. That is the unmistakable language of military preparation. It means the Pentagon — the Department of War — is positioning pieces on the chessboard in case the crisis around the Strait of Hormuz erupts into open conflict. Iran knows exactly where the leverage is. If the regime in Tehran ever seriously attempts to choke off the Strait of Hormuz, it would send oil prices skyrocketing overnight and slam the global economy into chaos. That is why the United States has historically treated that narrow waterway as a line that cannot be crossed. The question now is whether the current escalation is a show of force meant to deter Iran, or the opening chapter of something much larger.

Every warship sent to the Persian Gulf, every Marine deployment, every rising confrontation between Iran, Israel, and the West pushes the world another step closer to the moment when the Middle East explodes into the final series of conflicts the Bible describes. But while the world watches the Strait of Hormuz and wonders if another war is about to begin, the born-again Church is watching for something else entirely.

Trump deploys 5,000 Marines into Hormuz tinderbox as boots on the ground fears grow after 13 US troops die in Iran war carnage

FROM THE UK DAILY MAIL: Secretary of War Pete Hegseth approved a request by US Central Command for the deployment of a Marine expeditionary unit, typically including several warships and 5,000 troops, three officials told the Wall Street Journal. The Japan-based USS Tripoli, an amphibious assault ship, and its attached Marines are now headed for the Middle East, where they join other Marines already in the fight, the officials said.

The war spiraled on Friday as the US death toll climbed to 13 troops, domestic gas prices soared to $3.60 per gallon and Iran’s security chief Ali Larijani defiantly taunted Trump on the streets of Tehran. The bolstered deployment comes as the Trump administration weighs seizing Iran’s Kharg Island, around 16 miles off the mainland in the Persian Gulf, which handles 90 percent of the Islamic regime’s fuel exports.

Trump told Fox News Radio Friday about taking control of the island: ‘It’s not high on the list, but it’s one of so many different things, and I can change my mind in seconds.’

Hegseth earlier lashed out at reporters at a press briefing at the Pentagon, slamming ‘fake headlines’ about the war and claiming ‘we’re dealing with’ the Strait, adding ‘you don’t need to worry about it.’ All six service members aboard a refueling aircraft that crashed in Iraq were confirmed dead as the stalemate in the Strait deepened.

The Boeing KC-135 Stratotanker went down in western Iraq after a mid-air collision in friendly airspace at around 2pm ET Thursday, with four crew members initially confirmed dead.

US Central Command confirmed Friday that two further crew members died after rescue efforts failed. The second aircraft involved in the collision landed safely, sustaining minor damage to its tail. The six were not immediately identified as the military informed next of kin, bringing the US death toll in the Iran war to 13 after seven service members were killed in a drone strike on a Kuwaiti base on the second day of fighting.
