"Nay: but by the law of faith" - Distrust of the Vatican

Cherry Blossoms Viewing in Japan

Distrust of the Vatican

The Vatican has great networks all over Europe in these centuries if not for the past 2000 years.

It must have a great network to collect information before WWII, too.

So, the Vatican must have known what was going on in Germany in 1930s and early 1940s.

But, the Vatican did not announce to the world that Nazi Germany was killing millions of Judaists.

Another doubt on the Vatican behaviors is that it might not like to see Muslims succeed politically and economically.  The Vatican might like to see Muslims forever living in poor conditions.  Christian Europeans must be always a cut above Muslims, probably in their doctrine.  So, the Vatican might be a big factor for continuing failures of Islamic nations in these decades.

Anyway, Christ is all and Christ is in all.  Religion is all and religion is in all.  Even in politics and economy the Vatican must be a big factor especially around Europe, or in the Islamic world.

Rom 3:26 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.
Rom 3:27 Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.
Rom 3:28 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.

"which was the son of Mattathias" - China, Korea, and Japan

Cherry Blossoms in Tokyo Area, Japan

China, Korea, and Japan

China, Korea, and Japan were virtually isolated from the world till 1800s.

For China, it was China that was the most advanced in terms of culture in the world.  So, Chinese empires in succession in history did not feel any need to communicate and trade with other nations on an equal basis.  Only if other country had begged a Chinese Emperor to allow trade with China, the Chinese court would regard the foreign country as its subject state and permit trading relations.

So, China did not admit that the UK and other European countries in addition to the US were multiplying their national wealth and military power due to their success in pursuing the Industrial Revolution.   The Qing  dynasty, the last classic Chinese empire, could not manage to learn, study, and adopt Western science and technology.

As for the Korean Kingdom, they were simply proud of being a great follower of Confucianism.  The Korean court was content to be a tributary to China.  Yi-Dynasty Korea was at the time suffering poverty and a moral slump, due to failures in agriculture, a split of the society between the lazy noble class and poor farmers.

As they became blind to the world due to their biased inclination of Confucianism and Sinocentrism, Koreans never tried to reform their social structure, economy, and living standards by introducing fruits of the Industrial Revolution from Europe and the US.

Only Japan could successfully reform its political structure through a civil war which put an end to supremacy of samurai dominance and opened a new era for Westernization and modernization.  This revolutionary movement is called the Meiji Restoration as new Japanese elites, namely ex-samurais, built national structure with Emperor Meiji at their center.  Actually this new era of Japan which started in 1868 is called the Meiji period (till 1912) today.

So, among China, Korea, and Japan, only Japan could start its version of the Industrial Revolution  before the 20th century.

The industrial revolution began about 1870 as Meiji period leaders decided to catch up with the West. The government built railroads, improved roads, and inaugurated a land reform program to prepare the country for further development. It inaugurated a new Western-based education system for all young people, sent thousands of students to the United States and Europe, and hired more than 3,000 Westerners to teach modern science, mathematics, technology, and foreign languages in Japan (O-yatoi gaikokujin). 

In 1871 a group of Japanese politicians known as the Iwakura Mission toured Europe and the USA to learn western ways. The result was a deliberate state led industrialisation policy to enable Japan to quickly catch up. The Bank of Japan, founded in 1877, used taxes to fund model steel and textile factories. Education was expanded and Japanese students were sent to study in the west. 

Modern industry first appeared in textiles, including cotton and especially silk, which was based in home workshops in rural areas.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Industrial_Revolution#Japan
      

So, historical approaches to and views on the past cannot help but be very different among these three countries, since only Japan was resolute in standing against Western powers, including Russians, with its own force and power cultivated through its industrial revolution which started around 1870.

"if a house be divided against itself" - TPP

Cherry Blossoms in Tokyo Area, Japan

TPP

One of the biggest issues in the Japanese politics now is the so-called TPP.

The 2005 Trans-Pacific Strategic Economic Partnership Agreement (TPSEP or P4) is a free trade agreement among Brunei, Chile, New Zealand, and Singapore. It aims to further liberalize the economies of the Asia-Pacific region. 

Since 2010, negotiations have been taking place for the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), a proposal for a significantly expanded version of TPSEP. The TPP is a proposed free trade agreement under negotiation by (as of December 2012) Australia, Brunei, Chile, Canada, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore, the United States, and Vietnam.[9] Japan has expressed its desire to become a negotiating partner,[10] but not yet joined negotiations as the TPP became a major issue in Japan's 2012 election. 

Anti-globalization advocates accuse the TPP of going far beyond the realm of tariff reduction and trade promotion, granting unprecedented power to corporations and infringing upon consumer, labor, and environmental interests. 

One widely republished article claims the TPP is "a wish list of the 1%" and that "of the 26 chapters under negotiation, only a few have to do directly with trade. The other chapters enshrine new rights and privileges for major corporations while weakening the power of nation states to oppose them."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trans-Pacific_Strategic_Economic_Partnership

So, it is another form of embodiment of Wall-Street greed.

Though many big American corporations are joining their efforts to make the US Government pursue prevalence of this TPP regime around the Pacific Ocean, some US industry is against it.

"This new trade agreement will place domestic U.S. firms that do not do business overseas at a competitive disadvantage. Foreign firms under this trade pact could conceivably appeal federal regulatory and court rulings against them to an international tribunal with the apparent authority to overrule our sovereignty. If foreign companies want to do business in America, they should have to follow the same rules as everyone else. Obama is negotiating a trade pact that would constitute a judicial authority higher than even the U.S. Supreme Court that could overrule federal court rulings applying U.S. law to foreign companies. That is unconstitutional. The U.S. cannot be allowed to enter a treaty that would abrogate our Constitution."
– Bill Wilson, President, Americans for Limited Government

But some countries also are anxious about an influence of Japan's expected joining of TPP.

Terms of Japan's entry to TPPA talks bad news for NZ, 'surrender of sovereignty' for Japan 

'Japan’s Prime Minister Abe will announce this afternoon that Japan will seek to join the Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement (TPPA) negotiations. He already has US endorsement to do so', says Professor Jane Kelsey who has just returned from observing the Singapore round of the talks. 

Once a 90-day notification period to the US Congress expired Japan would be able to join the talks in September, one month before the political leaders of the existing eleven countries hope to sign the completed deal. 

'If this is true, the US has effected a double play on New Zealand', said Professor Kelsey. 

Trade Minister Groser said New Zealand would welcome Japan's participation 'once we have established procedures for their entry that are acceptable to their governments and to ours'. That was widely taken to mean Japan’s agreement to comprehensive agricultural liberalisation in line with the statement of the TPPA leaders in Honolulu in November 2011. 

Australia has been trying unsuccessfully to achieve that goal in a free trade negotiation with Japan since 2007. 

New Zealand would have just over three months to get Japan to agree or give way to a timeframe that appears to have been imposed unilaterally by the US.
'Even if Japan agrees in principle to consider opening dairy market access, that is just the first step in the process', according to Professor Kelsey. 

'Assuming the US continues to delay any substantial discussion of dairy market access to its own markets until September, the US and Japan could then join forces in demanding flexibility and stymie the one gain that New Zealand government has said is a bottom line and without which it will walk away from the TPPA'.

So, TPP might make every party unhappy except Mr. Obama.

It should be abolished.

"John was not yet cast into prison" - Anti-Christ Revolution

Tokyo Suburb Railroad

Tokyo Suburb

 Anti-Christ Revolution

This economic state of the world is rooted in the Industrial Revolution which first began in England between 1760 and 1830.

But underlying motivations for this movement were very anti-Christ: 

There were two main values that really drove the industrial revolution in Britain. These values were self-interest and an entrepreneurial spirit. Because of these interests, many industrial advances were made that resulted in a huge increase in personal wealth. These advancements also greatly benefitted the British society as a whole. Countries around the world started to recognize the changes and advancements in Britain and use them as an example to begin their own industrial revolutions.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Industrial_Revolution

Hence, this global economy based on science and technology rooted in the British Industrial Revolution would destroy the world eventually, since its fundamental motivations are so anti-Christ.

"He that hath an ear" - Knowledge, Technology, and Wealth

Prime Minister's Office, Tokyo

Knowledge,  Technology, and Wealth

In Japan this winter, from December to February it was very cold.

But in March it is not so cold at all.  Now cherry blossoms are fully blooming in Tokyo, the second earliest full-bloom of sakura (cherry blossoms) in record of Tokyo.


As we have observed the world, it is now clear that wealth and knowledge cannot save people.  Rich people in advanced countries have wealth developed, produced, and realized by modern technology.  Systems that support, protect, and keep their wealth are built on various types of deep knowledge.  But, those rich people are simply bad people,  Put simply, with such knowledge, technology, and wealth, they have become servants of the Devil.  They have no great spiritual contents in their minds and souls.

So, at best, those who are poor in terms of moral value would control the whole world with modern systems but without any concerns about human matters, ethical matters, and spiritual matters.

If science and technology continue to progress while a human ethical level is still so low, a great disaster should occur in future.  For example, one desperate terrorist group might easily acquire information,  over the Internet or cellular phones, about how to build a nuclear bomb and where to get material for the bomb.  And, they might easily make such a bomb.  Or they may make biological weapons so easily, using advanced technology being offered in some convenient market.

So, great knowledge and technology will provide great fortunes for some civilized people in advanced and developing countries, but terrorists might also try to take their share of wealth through confusion and a turmoil they might be able to cause by use of such a bomb and weapons.

We had better stop progress of our science and technology at the present level if we want to avoid a future disaster which can be worse than the 9/11 Terror and the 3/11 Tsunami combined in addition to Fukushima Daiichi.

"because she was the mother of all living" - Future Economy & Energy

Tokyo Shinkansen Train

Future Economy & Energy

There is a theory that the world GDP will soon stop growing.

This will probably be a matter of debate for some time, however, I for one believe that we could. To be more specific, in an article published just a few days prior to the collapse of the Lehman Brothers, evidence was presented about an upcoming economic downfall, near the end of the first decade of the millennium. The analysis was based on a simple logistic growth fit against actual real GDP data.

In this case, we will not need much energy, at least, making it possible to preserve the nature and environment, since recent growth in GDP is parallel with an increase in an amount of energy consumed.

Mt. Fuji, Japan, Viewed from Suburb of Tokyo


The new Pope said that his close friend from Brazil said to him no to forget the poor, so that he chose the name Francis.

It is not so good.

It means that the Pope and the Brazilian cardinal were not poor at all.  If they had thought that they were poor, they would not have used the term the poor in that context.

They should have said that they would respect their fellows the poor by adopting the name Francis and show the world that they were also poor

Pope Mr. Francis is not poor as he knows it very well..

So, the Vatican should be judged by Christ Jesus.

"neither cold nor hot" - Poverty in 2012

Tokyo

Poverty in 2012

As the figure below shows, the number of hungry people has increased since 1995-97. The increase has been due to three factors: 1) neglect of agriculture relevant to very poor people by governments and international agencies; 2) the current worldwide economic crisis, and 3) the significant increase of food prices in the last several years which has been devastating to those with only a few dollars a day to spend. 925 million people is 13.6 percent of the estimated world population of 6.8 billion. Nearly all of the undernourished are in developing countries. 

http://www.worldhunger.org/articles/Learn/world%20hunger%20facts%202002.htm

It looks like we had been living in a better world till 1997.

But after 1997, despite the 9/11 Terror of 2001, aggression for wealth mostly generate in Wall Street and the City led to a hike in food prices, though this trend was somewhat suppressed by the 2008 global financial crisis.

Anyway, Europe and North America are enjoying a plenty of foods while other areas are suffering food problems.  Is this what the Vatican can accept?

"ye denied the Holy One and the Just" - Great is Vatican or Pope?

The Imperial Palace Plaza, Tokyo

Great is Vatican or Pope? 

Many people wonder if we have not been given any holy prophecies about the Popes who ever came and were gone.

It is very unpleasant, to tell the truth, that we are neglected by Heaven while the God must know beforehand the fate of the Vatican and all the Popes to reign there.  We believers must be informed of the last state of the Vatican if it is to end 2000 years after its foundation by St. Peter.

Pope Francis; Prophecy of the Popes; Jorge Mario Bergoglio Biography
TRUTHER MARCH 14, 2013 

- White smoke has appeared at the Vatican.  The cardinals have selected a new Pope.  The Pope was elected on the fifth vote. 

- Jorge Mario Bergoglio, SJ (born December 17, 1936) is an Argentine cardinal of the Roman Catholic Church. He has served as the Archbishop of Buenos Aires since 1998.   

- The newly chosen Bishop of Rome is the 266th successor of St. Peter and leader of the worldwide Catholic Church with1.2 billion members 

- Saint Malachy   (1094 – 2 November 1148) was an Irish saint and Archbishop of Armagh, to whom were attributed several miracles and an alleged vision of 112 Popes later attributed to the apocalyptic list of Prophecy of the Popes. He was the first Irish saint to be canonised by Pope Clement III in 1199. 

- The Prophecy of the Popes (Latin: Prophetia Sancte Malachiae Archiepiscopi, de Summis Pontificibus) is a series of 112 short, cryptic phrases in Latin which purport to predict the Roman Catholic popes (along with a few antipopes), beginning with Pope Celestine II. The alleged prophecies were first published by Benedictine monk Arnold Wion in 1595. Wion attributes the prophecies to Saint Malachy, a 12th‑century Archbishop of Armagh, Ireland. 

- In recent times, some interpreters of prophetic literature have drawn attention to the prophecies due to their imminent conclusion; if the list of descriptions is matched on a one-to-one basis to the list of historic popes since the prophecies’ publication, Benedict XVI (2005-2013) would correspond to the second to last of the papal descriptions, Gloria olivae (the glory of the olive). The longest and final prophecy predicts the Apocalypse: 

In persecutione extrema S.R.E. sedebit. 

Petrus Romanus, qui pascet oves in multis tribulationibus, quibus transactis civitas septicollis diruetur, & judex tremendus judicabit populum suum. Finis. 

This may be translated into English as: 

In the final persecution of the Holy Roman Church, there will sit [i.e., as bishop].
Peter the Roman, who will pasture his sheep in many tribulations, and when these things are finished, the city of seven hills [i.e. Rome] will be destroyed, and the dreadful judge will judge his people. The End. 

- Many analyses of Saint Malachy’s prophecy note that it is open to the interpretation that additional popes would come between the “glory of the olive” and Peter the Roman. Popular speculation by proponents of the prophecy attach this prediction to Benedict XVI’s successor. Since Francis’ election as Pope, proponents in internet forums have been striving to link him to the prophecy. Theories include a vague connection with Francis of Assisi, whose father was named Peter. 

- Peter the Roman, who will pasture his sheep in many tribulations, and when these things are finished, the city of seven hills [i.e. Rome] will be destroyed, and the dreadful judge will judge his people. A discussion of this prophecy can be found following the biography of the new Pope. 

- Proponents of the prophecies claim that Pope Benedict XVI corresponded to the pope described in the penultimate prophecy. The list ends with a pope identified as “Peter the Roman”, whose pontificate will allegedly bring the destruction of the city of Rome and usher in the beginning of the Apocalypse. 

- Several historians have concluded that the prophecies are a late 16th‑century forgery. Spanish monk and scholar Benito Jerónimo Feijóo y Montenegro wrote in his Teatro Crítico Universal (1724–1739), in an entry called Purported prophecies, that the high level of accuracy of the alleged prophecies up until the date they were published, compared with their high level of inaccuracy after that date, is evidence that they were created around the time of publication. 

- One writer notes that among the post-publication (post-1595) predictions there remain “some surprisingly appropriate phrases,” while adding that “it is of course easy to exaggerate the list’s accuracy by simply citing its successes,” and that “other tags do not fit so neatly.”

And what I pay attention is the following matters:

- Pope Francis is the first Jesuit pope.

- The headquarters of the society, its General Curia, is in Rome. 

So, let's see how new Pope's being a Jesuit would weigh in this context concerning history and prophecies.

Pope Francis Is a Jesuit: Seven Things You Need to Know About the Society of Jesus
by Caroline Linton Mar 14, 2013 4:45 AM EDT

- You may have a hazy recollection of the Jesuits from the days you applied to college, but the Society of Jesus is much more than an administrator of prestigious American universities. Also known as “God's Marines” or “The Company,” the order of priests and brothers was founded by St. Ignatius of Loyola in 1534 with six other students at the University of Paris.  

- With its focus on education, the Jesuit order has been linked to some of the best universities in the world. In the United States, Georgetown was the first Jesuit university, founded in 1789. Today, there are 28 Jesuit universities and colleges in the United Sates alone (including Georgetown, Fordham University, Loyola University, and Boston College), and there are approximately 189 Jesuit institutions of higher learning throughout the world. 

- Although the Jesuits now are well-regarded, the order wasn't always in such good terms with the Catholic Church. Look at its name-Jesuit was originally a derisive term for those one who used too frequently or appropriated under the name of Jesus. Jesuits managed to retake the narrative on that one, and the term Jesuit is embraced by the order and has a mainly positive meaning. But in 1767, led by the charges that the Jesuits were too influential and elitist, Pope Clement XIV signed the Suppression of the Society of Jesus, which was enforced in Catholic countries such as France, the Spanish and Portuguese empires, among others. But the order was not followed in non-Catholic countries, causing the Jesuits to continue in Russia and its territories. In 1814, Pope Pius VII restored the Jesuits—but not all countries followed suit. In fact, Switzerland banned the Jesuits in the Constitution, which was not lifted until a national vote in 1973.

http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2013/03/14/pope-francis-is-a-jesuit-seven-things-you-need-to-know-about-the-society-of-jesus.html

So, there is a possibility that this Pope, Pope Francis, changes the structure of the Vatican decisively, since he is from  Society of Jesus.

Finally he can be even regraded as another St. Peter from Jesuits, since he is the first Pope from the group; St. Francis is the founder of the House of Jesuits in the Vatican Kingdom.

Tokyo Imperial Palace Plaza

Human Church Extra

It might be a warning, but I heard a Spirit said, "Human Church, Extra!"

Probably the Spirit said about the state of the Vatican.

I think it meant that a holy Pope would not be elected but still just a man who calls himself Pope will fill the position of the Papacy.

However, it implies that the end of human church is near, so that it is "extra."

Then, the God would act to change the Christianity once and for all.

"He that hath two coats" - Former Pope and Fatima

Streets before Tokyo Station

Former Pope and Fatima

Former Pope Benedict XVI might have seen a vision related to the prophecies of Fatima.

They say that Mother Mary appeared to young children in Portugal in 1917 to given them some messages which are called the Fatima Prophecies.

According to some experts, the third one of the messages is related to the end of the world or the end of the Vatican.

The Fatima Prophecies

By Stephen Wagner, About.com Guide
......
Since the revelation, the Vatican has been quick to downplay the significance of the prophecy. For one thing, Catholics are under no obligation to believe in the events at Fatima - they can take them or leave them since they are not part of church doctrine. Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, who was a prefect for the Doctrine of Faith and is now Pope Benedict XVI, said about the prophecy: "Those who expected exciting apocalyptic revelations about the end of the world or the future course of history are bound to be disappointed. Fatima does not satisfy our curiosity in this way, just as Christian faith cannot be reduced to an object of mere curiosity. There is no immutable destiny. In the end, prayer is more powerful than bullets and faith more powerful than armies." He seemed to be implying that the prayers of the faithful had deflected the terrible scene warned of in the prophecy.

Many Fatima devotees are not satisfied with what the Vatican has chosen to reveal, suspecting that they have either altered the message or not disclosed it in its entirety. Why, after all, were five successive Popes so reluctant to make the prophecy public? Ratzinger explained that the secret was kept because of the fuzziness of the message, which he said could by deciphered "only in the light of history." And when he was asked if the Fatima secrets pertained only to the past, he replied, "I think so."

Some Fatima devotees are not buying that explanation, however. "We still have a bigger punishment in store for us if we don't turn away from sin," said Christopher Ferrara, a spokesman for the Fatima Network in Fort Erie, Ontario, Canada. Others at the center called the Vatican's interpretation "a whitewash."

By contrast, Ratzinger put a positive spin on the prophecy. "It encourages us by showing that even in a world which was half destroyed," he said, "there is a greater force and death does not have the last word. At the end of a century and a millennium, we were able to propose this text to humanity and to the Church in a positive spirit. It indicates that we should use the power of love against the power of violence."

Kathleen A. Keating wrote of the recent revelation: "The Third Secret of Fatima is still a secret. In the press release issued by the Vatican today, the public was made privy to, at best, a watered down version of one sentence of the true secret. This ridiculous revelation bears no resemblance to the remarks made by Pope John Paul II in Fatima, May 13, 2000, when he said that we are in fact in the midst of Revelation-Chapter 12, verse 3: And another sign in heaven; and behold a great Red Dragon, having seven heads, and ten horns; and on his heads seven diadems… I have a source, deep inside the Vatican, who let me know some time ago that what would be revealed today would only distantly resemble the actual Third Secret, that it would be pared down, containing very little fact."

Were the messages at Fatima prophecies of our future, warnings about possible outcomes or just imaginings inspired by the faith of three small children? Like most such things, it comes down to what you choose to believe.

Luk 3:9 And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: every tree therefore which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
Luk 3:10 And the people asked him, saying, What shall we do then?
Luk 3:11 He answereth and saith unto them, He that hath two coats, let him impart to him that hath none; and he that hath meat, let him do likewise.
Luk 3:12 Then came also publicans to be baptized, and said unto him, Master, what shall we do?
Luk 3:13 And he said unto them, Exact no more than that which is appointed you.

"stones to raise up children unto Abraham" - Pope Alexander VI

Tokyo Bay

Pope Alexander VI (1431 – 1503)

Pope Alexander VI is said to be the worst in history

The reward for “Baddest Pope Ever” arguably goes to Rodrigo Borgia, who enjoyed the benefits of having an uncle who just happened to be Pope Calixtus III. Thanks to his convenient social status, Borgia passed through the ranks of bishop, cardinal, and vice-chancellor, gaining enormous wealth along the way. In 1492, he was actually able to buy his way into the papacy, defeating two other opponents by means of bribery. 

Alexander was so corrupt that his surname eventually became a byword representing the hellishly low papal standards of the time. He sired at least seven different illegitimate children by his mistresses, and didn’t hesitate to reward them with handsome endowments at the church’s expense. When low on finances, he either established new cardinals in return for payments, or he slammed wealthy people with completely fabricated charges, jailed or murdered them for said false charges, and then stole their money. 

Not surprisingly, there is very little about Alexander VI that can be considered godly or even lawful. His goals were selfish and ambitious, and the orderly government he initially administered quickly deteriorated until the city of Rome was in a state of complete disrepair. The words spoken by Giovanni de Medici (the future Pope Leo X) after Borgia’s election are telling:
“Now we are in the power of a wolf, the most rapacious perhaps that this world has ever seen. And if we do not flee, he will inevitably devour us all.”

Now you know why Columbus must have reached the new world later called America in 1492.

In other word, the glory of Europe started to end in 1492 with Pope Alexander VI.

Now as there is no Pope in the Vatican, everything looks fine.  The long and great process of ending European Christian glory seems to be accomplished in 2013 with the last Pope, so far, gone.

Mat 3:9 And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.

"Silver and gold have I none" - Pope Gone V

Around Tokyo Bay

Pope Gone V

Arrogant Europeans are not qualified to lead the world any more in this century.

China is out of question as you know their foolishness and selfishness.

The US is a kind of derailing out of the sound course of humanity as they have so many abnormal citizens and dangerous guns in addition to ever expanding power of money in the society.  Americans cannot provide nothing more than freedom for purchasing the American Money Dream.

So, Japan is the only option left as the Vatican has almost completely lost a glow of its glory and Muslims cannot conquer the challenge posed to them in these years.

But what is in Japan?  At least it has had a potential to make China a great economic power and allow South Korea and some other Asian countries to enjoy some economic success.  But more than that, it has its own spiritualism.  For this reason, Japan is outside the Christian world and other global religious influences, including the Islam and Buddhism of the South-Asian version.

Anyway, though Japan is the most industrialized nation in the world, it is the country that preserves its cultural tradition since the era of great Buddhist Shotoku Taishi (Prince Shotoku of Yamato Court; 574 - 622) or the era of Himiko (Queen of Wa of Japan; ? - 248)  or even since a king of Na of Japan received a gold seal from an emperor of the Han dynasty of China in AD 57 to be acknowledged as a follower of the Han court.

Yes, when some disciples of Christ Jesus started to compile Gospels, a Japanese king was recorded in some Chinese imperial record.  As on this seal some kanji letters were engraved, it could be regraded as the beginning of Japanese civilization.

Since then, Japan has developed its unique culture to date without interruption or changes of races of inhabitants and ruling classes for 2000 years with the imperial family at its core of the social and religious systems.      

So, the Vatican is as old and contiguous as Japan is in the history, though China changed so many times its inhabitants and ruling classes with many interruptions in these 2000 years.

"ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil" - Pope Gone IV

Tokyo Bay

Pope Gone IV

Nobody thinks that the Pope of the Vatican has power to change the world today.

But, the most important figure in Europe in terms of culture, history, and religion is the Pope.

For example, if the Vatican was dissolved and the Roman Church system was abolished, European people would be adversely affected and lose power to lead the world.

So, it is interesting to see how Malachy's prophecy on the fates of the successive Popes has taken attention from some people.

On Monday, 11 February 2013 - Pope Benedict XVI (16th) said he would resign/abdicate by the end of the month, citing failing health reasons.

Pope Benedict XVI (Joseph Ratzinger) took the position of pope as one of the fiercest storms the Catholic Church has faced in decades - the scandal of child sex abuse by priests - was breaking. 

Of interest, there is one leading candidate to replace the frail Pope Benedict. That is Italy's Cardinal Tarcisio Pietro Evasio Bertone, who is the Cardinal Secretary of State. Cardinal Bertone was born in Romano, Italy. With the name Pietro (Peter), and being from Romano - could this be 'Peter the Roman'? Of interest is the fact that in the interim (known as 'sede vacante') between the resignation/abdication of Benedict and the appointment of the next pope (by Easter?), it will be Cardinal Bertone who will be called upon as 'Camerlengo' to serve as the head of the Roman Catholic Church. Some say Benedict favored Bertone as his successor...

Malachy's final words: 

In the final persecution of the Holy Roman Church there will reign Peter the Roman, who will feed his flock among many tribulations; after which the seven-hilled city (Rome, the seat of the Vatican) will be destroyed and the dreadful Judge will judge the people. 

It is striking that at least one pope had a similar mystical vision: 

In 1909, while granting an audience, pope Pius X leaned back and closed his eyes. Suddenly he "awoke" and cried out: "What I see is terrifying. Will it be myself? Will it be my successor? What is certain is that the pope will quit Rome, and in leaving the Vatican, he will have to walk over the dead bodies of his priests."
Pius's prophecy was fulfilled neither in his own time nor in that of the next pontiff. According to Malachy's vision of the Church's "tribulation," it applies to the successor of Gloria Olivae-the next pope but one.

"the book of life" - Pope Gone III

Tokyo Bay

Pope Gone III

A somewhat big meteor hit the ground in Russia recently.

And, the Pope resigned recently.

So, everybody on the earth saw the wonder in the sky and the mystery in the Vatican.

These must be signs of the Second Coming of Christ Jesus.

You have to think how you would abandon your life and follow Him, since there are such signs.

But how are the most pious people are feeling?

However, the God told me that He would not give any clues to what will happen in the near future to anybody.

You cannot be given an imminent warning or a short prophecy.

"the man which had the withered hand" - Pope Gone II

Tokyo Bay

Pope Gone II

Suppose that you are a Pope who has suddenly become afraid of his own death.

Then you would like to retire as soon as possible.  You must hide your fear of death.

Or you might have a fearful dream one night.  For example, the Devil comes to you requesting his portion, saying that you owe your success to support the Devil has given according to a horrible contract.

Or otherwise, Heaven might send an Angel to you to tell you that the God is going to reward you soon for your righteous life.

In either case, you have to take care of yourself, since your time has ended.  You must not be bothered any more.

"Peter and John went up together into the temple" - Pope Gone

Tokyo Bay

Pope Gone

The Pope has left the Vatican, leaving the Papal See vacant.

Nobody takes care of living souls in this world.

It is unbelievable.  It is horrible.  And it is so sinful.

If you were the Pope, you have to say everyday to the word, "Stop using money and live like Christ Jesus, namely a homeless man!"

Indeed, money is the top servant of the Devil, though Christ Jesus used some coins taken out of the mouths of fishes.
  
Essentially, what Christ Jesus recommended is to live thinking about the God as the most important issue in one's life.  It is so, because the God can create any souls in this world, including you.
