Prophecies

[Mike33]

As a catholic, how am I suppost to feel about these Prophecies from catholic saints about the end of the world. I ask because i was browing the net i encounted some quotes from St. John Bosco, St Francis of Assisi and many others which, quite frankly, scare the - out of me.

To which prophecies are you referring? There are many throughout the Bible.

Look at the last 111 (later changed to 112 because the Benedict order didnt want to be associated with the "beast") popes. Its interesting to note that he nailed 90% of them with incredible accuracy.

Look at the last 10 popes. He nailed Pope John Paul II exactly. From the toll of the sun. He was born during a solar eclipse and He died during a solar eclipse. It can also be interpreted to the sun rising in the east and his being the first Pope from Eastern Europe. Yet another is that he was the first Pope to go around the world, as the Sun seems to do. A further theory is that the combination of labore and solis cryptically refers to "the sun of the workers", i.e., the star of communism, with John Paul being the only pope to have spent much of his life under a communist regime.During World War II Pope John Paul II worked in a quarry (laboring in the sunlight). It is also theorized that the prophetic motto falls in line with the fact that Pope John Paul II was the most travelled Pope in history. He went around the world multiple times, like 'labour' of the sun.

Now, with that said, He named Glorie Olivia as the last pope . I also like to note that Peter the Roman has no number, so that can mean that Pope Benedict is the last pope or he is antichrist. Let me add that Glorie Olivia has no connection with Pope Benedict known right now, so it seems he may have been wrong. Many believe that a terrorist attack or murder of Pope Benedict may fulfill this prediction, and that someone might assume his place (not officially being a pope) but leading people to the devil (hence no number). That theory is WAY out there.
I know im sound like someone crazy. I know alot of you are religious, alot more than me, which is why I ask you all. I dont want to seem like a crazy guy screaming that the earth is coming to an end, but im really starting to believe in this Saint. I would really appreciate it if I could here your opinion on this subject. The 1st website given provides links of other visions from many respected saints which kind of go together with St. Malachy
Thanks for the Help

I read what you linked and I thought it was very interesting.

There is ONE glaring error in his writing though. His whole paradigm was through the leadership of papacy and Rome.

But Biblically speaking, it is Jerusalem and Israel the Focus in the Bible and the Focus of Islam, Christians and Jews as well as the whole world...

Rome is NOT the focus. Jerusalem is.

Jerusalem will be the city that Jesus will be reigning from as King of Kings.
