Vatican officials are refusing to say if Pope Francis has contracted the coronavirus as the pontiff continues to cancel engagements at an unprecedented rate.

Officials at the Vatican are playing coy today, refusing to answer the question of whether or not the ailing Pope Francis has contracted the coronavirus after coming in contact with sufferers in Italy over the past week. Instead, they point to the pope’s partially missing lung from decades old respiratory illness, and saying he just ‘has a cold’. But people who just have a cold do not begin cancelling appointments and appearances across the board as he is doing right now. Something tells me the Vatican is not being overly truthful about possible coronavirus infection.

“And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.” Revelation 18:4,5 (KJB)

NTEB reader John R. wrote to me today, and asking what possible impact the death of Pope Francis, assuming in this example that he does have the coronavirus and succumbed to it, would have on Bible prophecy and the One World Religion of Chrislam that Pope Francis has been so diligently creating. I thought that was a pretty good question, John, and one worthy of some purposeful pondering, here is my answer.

“And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see. And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.” Revelation 6:1,2 (KJB)

Pope Francis has absolutely done more than any Roman Catholic pope in the last 150 years to advance the end times timeline concerning the prophecies connected with the Catholic Church and the Whore of Babylon from Revelation 17 and 18. Even the casual Bible reader, and not just the students of prophecy, can clearly see how the RCC fulfills the prophecies of MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT. But he is 82 years old, moving slow, and not the likeliest candidate for Antichrist, or even the False Prophet. He would have to get a supernatural, vitality-restoring energy shot to carry off either of those two roles. So is it possible he has done all that he was put in office to do?

The Bible is clear, the One World Religion merges politics and worship, and causes all the world to “wonder after the beast”, and Pope Francis has right now at this moment the superstructure of that religion already in place. It is called the Abrahamic Faiths Initiative, and even the United States is supporting it. But has all the work that Jorge Bergoglio the Jesuit agent done merely the set-up for the unholy one that is to come? I am thinking that is more in line with what we are seeing, but who knows? Pope Francis could get that ‘supernatural energy shot’ any time now and fulfill the prophecy of ‘Saint’ Malachy of the Last Pope. Either way, we are living in exciting times!

“When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:) Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:” Matthew 24:15,16 (KJB)

Praying for a swift recovery for the pontiff with his ‘cold’, or coronavirus, so he can get back to building that One World Religion of Chrislam, so we can get on Flight #777 and get out of here. We can’t let a little thing like the coronavirus slow down the fulfillment of Bible prophecy.

Pope Francis forced to cancel duties for third day running, ‘suffering cold symptoms’ but is it the coronavirus?

FROM THE UK INDEPENDENT: Pope Francis has cancelled official engagements for a third straight day as he continued to battle an apparent cold. The 83-year-old’s illness comes amid a coronavirus outbreak in Italy, which has already seen an estimated 888 cases – the worst-hit country in Europe.

Vatican officials refused to say whether the pontiff had been tested for the coronavirus, which is fast spreading across the globe, but his illness is assumed to be a cold after he was coughing and blowing his nose during Ash Wednesday Mass.

Pope Francis, who lost part of a lung to a respiratory illness as a young man, has never cancelled so many official audiences or events in his seven-year papacy.

On Thursday, he cancelled a trip across Rome to celebrate Mass, and on Friday he pulled out of a meeting about an artificial intelligence conference. A spokesperson said he was working from his residence at the Vatican’s Santa Marta hotel and was receiving people in private.

The Vatican has not revealed the nature of Pope Francis’s illness, saying only he has a “slight indisposition”.

Italy’s leaders have been alarmed at the coronavirus outbreak, mostly in the north of the country, which has killed at least 21 people. In Rome, it has struck three people, all of whom recovered. READ MORE

The Vatican refuses to say if Pope Francis, who was interacting with coronavirus sufferers, has contracted the coronavirus himself.

The Roman Catholic Church declares that anyone who believes in Jesus Christ alone for their salvation, and receives that salvation by grace through faith alone, is cursed by them. This is what they decided at the Council of Trent.

Perhaps the most defining event of the Roman Catholic church since its inception in 325 AD was the Council of Trent which was the Vatican’s response to the then brand-new movement of something called the Protestant Reformation. At the Council of Trent, many important things were decided and officially codified into the Catholic canon of teaching. The decided that the Biblical doctrine of salvation by grace through faith alone was bad for business, and had to go. So, out it went.

“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. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.” Ephesians 2:8-10 (KJV)

People get mad at when I say, as a former Roman Catholic, that according to the Bible, Catholics are not Christians, and they’re not. This is true because born again Christians follow the teachings of the Bible in general and the writings of the apostle Paul in particular, whilst Catholics follow the teachings and writings of the Roman Catholic Church which exist outside of the Bible. The Council of Trent is an excellent example of this.

So just for fun, I thought it would be interesting to place a few of the “infallible declarations” from the Council of Trent that speak to the doctrine of justification alongside matching verses from the Bible, and let’s see if the Roman Catholic religion matches up with Biblical Christianity. Ready? Go!

• Council of Trent Session 6, Canon 9: If anyone says that the sinner is justified by faith alone, meaning that nothing else is required to cooperate in order to obtain the grace of justification, and that it is not in any way necessary that he be prepared and disposed by the action of his own will, let him be anathema. source
• The King James Holy Bible: “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 3:5-7 (KJB) WINNER!
  

  ---

• Council of Trent Session 6, Canon 14: If any one saith, that man is truly absolved from his sins and justified, because that he assuredly believed himself absolved and justified; or, that no one is truly justified but he who believes himself justified; and that, by this faith alone, absolution and justification are effected; let him be anathema. source
• The King James Holy Bible: “Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.” Galatians 2:16 (KJB) WINNER!
  

  ---

• Council of Trent Session 6, Canon 33: If any one saith,that,by the Catholic doctrine touching Justification, by this holy Synod inset forth in this present decree, the glory of God, or the merits of our Lord Jesus Christ are in any way derogated from, and not rather that the truth of our faith, and the glory in fine of God and of Jesus Christ are rendered (more) illustrious; let him be anathema. source
• The King James Holy Bible: “Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.” Romans 5:1,2 (KJB) WINNER!

Let’s pull over and park for a moment, and consider what is being said in just these 3 small examples. Ready very carefully what is being put forth by the Catholic Church. Over and over they are declaring as doctrine that if anyone, that’s you, believes that a sinner is justified before God by grace through faith in Jesus Christ alone, then they are anathema. What does ‘anathema’ mean? According to the Webster’s 1828 dictionary, it means ‘one that is cursed by ecclesiastical authority; someone or something intensely disliked or loathed; a ban or curse solemnly pronounced by ecclesiastical authority and accompanied by excommunication; the denunciation of something as accursed‘. Now stop…and let that sink in.

THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH WILL BE HAPPY SHOW YOU THEY ARE NOT A CHRISTIAN ORGANIZATION, CLICK TO SEE FOR YOURSELF

The Roman Catholic Church declares that anyone who believes in Jesus Christ alone for their salvation, and receives that salvation by grace through faith alone, is cursed by them. They are saying that if you believe the Bible, and nothing else, that if  you trust Jesus, and nothing else, they curse you. Salvation by grace through faith alone is the bedrock of the gospel of the grace of God. Salvation by grace through faith in the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ alone is the gospel of the grace of God. And by their own declarations and in their own words they are against it. So you tell me how the Roman Catholic Church can possibly be a “christian” organization? That is not possible.

“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. And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.” Revelation 17:3-6 (KJB)

It is the Catholic church itself who declare themselves to be non-Christian, the Council of Trent is indisputable truth of it. That brings us to the last point, and that is why the Roman Catholic Church would teach such a thing when it is in obvious opposition to the Bible. They do it for many reasons, the primary one being that they come out of Rome, and are the modern-day representatives of ancient pagan Rome. It is Rome that killed all the Christians before conducting a hostile takeover in 325 AD, and hijacking the true Church for over a thousand years. The last thing the Catholic church wants is for you to think for yourself, pray for yourself, and open that Bible for yourself. Because when you do  that, you quickly discover that the Roman Catholic Church is actually Mystery, Babylon, and the one who has shed the blood of the saints, and will continue to do so until they meet they end in Revelation 18.

WHY THERE WILL NEVER BE RECONCILIATION BETWEEN THE ROMAN CATHOLIC SYSTEM AND THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH

The Revelation 17 woman is a political power player, John shows us how she ‘reigneth over the kings of the earth’, that gives us politics, power and world governments.

Many bible students get confused when they get to Revelation 17, because the main character in the chapter, the woman, appears to play a dual role. In this chapter, we are introduced to an entity typified as a ‘woman’, who commits spiritual fornication with the ‘kings of the earth’. Trying to rectify the spiritual kingdom with what is obviously a political kingdom can get confusing. This is why many bible scholars and commentators over the years have failed to identify her. Let’s meet this woman, shall we?

“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. And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.” Revelation 17:3-6 (KJV)

Before we go any further, let’s put this woman in bullet points for easier identification. We will not be depending on any ‘private interpretation’ to be able to deduce her identity. Every bullet point listed here is taken directly from Revelation 17.

The Revelation 17 Woman:

• THE WOMAN RIDES THE BEAST: Dave Hunt, in his excellent book ‘A Woman Rides The Beast‘, one of the first Bible study books I ever read, shows us the woman riding on top of another character we are very familiar with. He goes by the name of Satan, the Devil, Leviathan, the Dragon, and the serpent. All different aspects of who he is and what he does. Revelation 17 shows us this ‘woman’ who rides Satan like a pet horse, such is the closeness and intimacy of their relationship. So we see that this is a very spiritual woman, and highly connected to spiritual forces.
• THE WOMAN FORNICATES WITH KINGS: The Revelation 17 woman is a political power player, John shows us how she ‘reigneth over the kings of the earth‘, that gives us politics, power and world governments.
• THE WOMAN IS AMAZINGLY WEALTHY: The woman is covered in jewels and precious stones, she is loaded with money.
• THE WOMAN WEARS SPECIFIC COLORS: The woman has two colors she wears, and they are representative of power and standing, these colors are purple and scarlet.
• THE WOMAN SLAUGHTERS BIBLE BELIEVERS: The woman has a hatred for two types of people very precious in the sight of God, saints and martyrs. She has a long history of spilling their blood.
• THE WOMAN HAS A SPECIFIC LOCATION: The location of the woman is on ‘seven mountains’ which are the seven hills of Rome. According to Vatican.com “The ancient city of Rome was originally built on the topographical layout of seven separate hills. These seven hills were joined together by the ancient walls of Rome- the Servian walls. The Seven Hills of Rome lie in the east to the Tiber River. Later many more areas were annexed to the city. The city walls were extended to include them also and the city is now much bigger than its original territory. The Vatican and Vatican hill are included in the Areas that were added to the city much later in history.” Hmm, pretty interesting stuff!

By now it is obvious who this woman is, at least it is to me who was baptized into the Catholic Church, made my ‘first holy communion’, was an altar boy, and was trained in Jesuit schools for 12 years. I can see with 100% assurance and clarity that the woman is the Roman Catholic Church and its Vatican City government.

A lot of people are unaware that all Roman Catholic popes hold dual roles as they serve. First, the pope serves as the spiritual leader of the world’s Roman Catholics, and is said to be ‘infallible’ when speaking from his throne. Second, all popes are also the king of a country called Vatican City, and is listed among the 193 nations of the United Nations in a role called ‘permanent observer‘.

THE ROMAN CATHOLIC VATICAN CITY STATE IS INDEED THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ‘MYSTERY BABYLON’ FROM THE BIBLE

So the Roman Catholic Church controls a spiritual kingdom and a political kingdom, this level of influence which is unique in world history allows the Roman Catholic Church to fulfill all the requirements and attributes listed in Revelation 17. From this dual nature, it is able to control politics, acquire massive wealth, and control people spiritually.

Take a look at some recent stories about Pope Francis:

These are just a random sampling of the hundreds of articles we’ve done showing you how Pope Francis exerts spiritual and political powers with world leaders and governments. For a full listing of all articles, click here.

• POPE FRANCIS ISSUES THE ORDER CREATING GLOBAL CHRISLAM COMMITTEE TO IMPLEMENT HIS DECREE ON ‘HUMAN FRATERNITY FOR WORLD PEACE’ SIGNED IN UAE BACK IN FEBRUARY
• POPE FRANCIS COMMANDS THE WORLD’S ENERGY ELITE TO THE VATICAN TO FORCE WORLD GOVERNMENTS TO INSTITUTE A GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE CARBON TAX

• BABYLON RISING: JESUIT POPE FRANCIS FUNCTIONING MORE LIKE A KING AS EU RULERS LOOK TO VATICAN FOR LEADERSHIP

So all of this is backstory for the amazing video I want you all to watch. This video is simply a well-put together ‘infographic’ whose only purpose is to show you how the Roman Catholic Church and the Vatican State operate with the pope in charge of both. But when you read Revelation 17 and then watch it, it is, pardon the pun, quite the revelation to say the least. So please watch it in its entirety and comment below.
