Matthew 7:21-23
King James Version
21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?

23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity

The “poor” were just window-dressing for him, the Marxist Pope with the biggest ego in memory. He really thought it was all about him….not about the Church of Christ and his position as Peter to confirm the brethren in the faith.

To make you really barf, he arranged his funeral and burial…not in the usual papal burial place, so thus it requires special arrangements….and will have 20 “poor”, homeless, migrants and transexuals standing at the door holding white roses as his coffin is brought in.

The man was evil, he used the Faith, and like any good Marxist, he used the underclass as a prop to gain power.

The pope was only a friend to SATAN!

Genesis: By the sweat of your brow will you make your bread.

Parable of the talents: Apply what talents you have diligently throughout life.

First commandment: Love God with all your mind, heart, and soul. To me this implies thinking about things and relates to the parable of the talents.

Idleness and dependency, sloth and carelessness are actually sinful.

These are Christian traits: Industry, savings (see the parable of the man who built a silo), charity, counseling the sinner to NOT sin anymore, fortitude, humility, etc.;

The 'planks' of the Democrat Party are the same things exactly as the Seven Deadly Sins; Sloth, Gluttony, Lust, Pride, Anger, Greed, Envy (Which is the pillar of Communism, Socialism, Liberalism, and the Rat Party).

Francis displayed most every trait of a Communist or American Rat. Of course his nostrums about charity were always really collectivism disguised as virtue.

He was never in favor of actually helping people himself or exhorting people to help others themselves; it was always the USAID-type grift that he had in mind. He never preached letting others enjoy what they had earned; instead he just blamed them for the rather understandable plight of the feckless, the lazy, the sexually incontinent, the libertine, and always, ALWAYS tried to transfer the problem to the innocent third-party uninvolved normals.

The "world" has been cruel to the poor, the gay, etc.

Pope Francis Was No Friend Of The Poor

Need a better Francis:

The Messiah is at the gates of Rome,[a] sitting among the poor, the sick and wretched. Like them, he changes the bindings of his wounds, but does so one wound at the time, in order to be ready at a moment's notice.

The Messiah at the Gates of Rome

Gotta love the signage...

("April 21 is the 111th day of the year..")

April 21:

Founding of Rome
death of Pope Francis

The funeral is tomorrow, 4/26.

It's as if all roads lead to Rome

בית דוד House of David = 426

Rome was founded in 753 BC according to the traditional date.

the time at the beginning of BTTF

The difference between a shin [ש] and a samech [ס]:

300 - 60 = 240

The difference between a shin [שין] and a samech [סמך]:

360 - 120 = 240

Joshua then said that the Messiah had not told him the truth, because he had promised to come today but had not. Elijah explained "This is what he said to thee, To-day, if ye will hear his voice", a reference to Psalms 95:7, making his coming conditional with the condition not fulfilled.[1][2][3]

Have you ever noticed that the verb here meaning to turn around is typically translated as sitting down?

1 Sam 16

11. And Samuel said to Jesse, Are here all your children? And he said, There remains still the youngest, and, behold, he keeps the sheep; And Samuel said to Jesse, Send and fetch him; for we will not sit down [נסב] till he comes here:
12. And he sent, and brought him in; And he was admoni [אדמוני = 111], with beautiful eyes, and good looking; And the Lord said, Arise, anoint him; for this is he:

we will sit down [נשב]
we will turn around [נסב]

The difference between sitting down נשב and turning around נסב:

352 - 112 = 240

In fact, the Ba'al haTurim (Rabbi Yakov ben Asher, 1269-1343) comments that when the prophet Samuel came to anoint David and first saw him, he was surprised by his redness and immediately thought "this one is murderous like Esau!" However, Samuel then saw David's soft and compassionate eyes and understood he is not like Esau.

Nonetheless, it is certainly not a coincidence that Esau and David are described the same way, and that Samuel's first impression of David was Esau. On a mystical level, their souls are deeply linked, and David served as the spiritual rectification of Esau.

Elijah explained "This is what he said to thee, To-day, if ye will hear his voice"...

I guess my feelings were pretty much the same as outlined above. Of course I also felt like...who am I, a nobody criticizing the Pope? I have to say, as he was supposedly the representative of Christ on this earth...he didn’t quite make it.
