Can see the possibilities regarding Christendom, but not so easily for the others

If Israel continues its attack on Gaza, and if muslims "protest" around the world because of their upcoming holy days not being respected, that could create a lot of animosity toward both religions.

Babylon the Great's final days?  The world is getting tired of her!  We're seeing history unfold before our eyes, my friends!

The legal opinions cite Pope Francis’ role in the trial, since he secretly changed Vatican law four times during the investigation to benefit prosecutors. And they call into question the independence and impartiality of the tribunal since its judges swear obedience to Francis, who can hire and fire them at will.

The critiques underscore the growing problems on the international stage for the peculiar microstate that the Holy See calls home: an absolute monarchy where Francis wields supreme legislative, executive and judicial power.

We have still yet to see how other religious organisations fit into this.

Let's think about that for a moment..

If Trump is elected the President of the US, then he is a main part of the King of the South, so if we take that literally, he would be king of the southern part of the world. That includes Australia...

 

(Note to everyone getting ready to correct me, I'm just joking...)

I don't understand. God sent Trump as a punishment to the sinners in the US?

Thank goodness we have Jehovah. All I know is Satan is definitely got blinders on people but they're also drunk on some real poison. Because under normal circumstances this defies all logic. It's the wild west out there.

Pope Francis Faces Growing Revolt

A terrorist attack took place while Memorial is taking place around the world.

 

It's like how the Annual Meeting took place last time where the Gaza-Israel conflict started.

 

So what's next? (I'm not wishing this to happen again... but.. nvm)

😳   🤨 ( "raising eyebrows " )

[LeolaRootStew]

I remember reading that the Catholics have this prophecy about one of the Popes being evil and the current Pope is that Pope. I wonder how that will affect things.
