Benedict XVI, Lighting and Revelation 16?
Just a photoshop on the Internet... but you get my point! |
However, in today’s world, subject to so many rapid changes and shaken by questions of deep relevance for the life of faith, in order to govern the bark of Saint Peter and proclaim the Gospel, both strength of mind and body are necessary, strength which in the last few months, has deteriorated in me to the extent that I have had to recognise my incapacity to adequately fulfil the ministry entrusted to me.
Obviously the Roman Catholic institution is in a faith crisis because for one, I as a former Roman Catholic got joined together with PLENTY like myself- former Roman Catholics now born again Christians either Evangelical, Presbyterian or Baptist holding to the same fundamental doctrines. Lightning STRUCK after the declaration, coincidence or God's judgment? Maybe not. In fact, St. Peter's Basilica as displayed as 16 letters, Joseph Ratzinger is Pope Benedict the XVI (sixteenth) and Revelation 16:18-19 says, "And there were voices and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, and such was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake and so great. And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of His wrath." It's just a sample of things to come, and certainly the judgment could be nearer. Even so, come Lord Jesus! But remember the verse I cited is during the Tribulation period, looks like God is already warning Roman Catholics to come out of her!
So far, looks like he can't handle the crisis of faith or has he read Babylon Religion? I think so. But he might change his mind soon enough if his pride gets in his way!
