Modern communication technology has helped make the Pope’s death an unparalleled event. The entire world has literally come together to praise this one man. I find that many sense that there will be some important and climactic consequences to follow the death of this Pope.
As I studied the many Bible prophecies of the Last Days, I found a most unusual extra-Biblical prophecy made by an Irish Catholic Bishop in the 12th Century. His name is St. Malachy. According to his biographer St. Bernard of Clairvaux, in his book Life of Saint Malachy, St. Malachy was known to have the gift of prophesy and even predicted the exact day and hour of his own death. St. Malachy was canonized in 1190 by Pope Clement III.
According to his biographer, St. Malachy was visiting Rome in 1139 when he went into a trance and received a vision. Malachy wrote down this extraordinary vision in which he claims to have foreseen all of the Popes from the death of Innocent II until the destruction of the Church and the Return of Christ. He named exactly 112 Popes from that time until the end.
St. Malachy wrote a few prophetically descriptive words in Latin about each one of the Popes. He then gave the manuscript to Pope Innocent II and it was deposited in the Vatican Archives where it was forgotten for several centuries. Then in 1590, it was rediscovered and published.
The interesting thing is that scholars have matched the brief 110 descriptive predictions with each of the 110 Popes and anti-Popes that there have been since Innocent II. Though they are a bit obscure, they have fit the general profile of each of the Popes.
Now these are in no way the same kind of predictions we find in the Bible....

That is where your dispensationalism came from Daisy, from the vision of a Roman Catholic girl in Scotland in 1830 and was turned into a bad teaching by John Nelson Darby and Scofield in the US, and is taught by Dallas Theological Semitary exclusively.
I agree with you, anyone who believes that nonsense should have their head examined.
Want me to book the appointment for you, or will you do it yourself?
You only know what you have been force fed by the false teachings of dispensationalists
No, Paul is dealing with the Second Coming, which is precisely what Paul means when he says, at His Coming, but no doubt you will find a convaluted, twisted way to deny that fact.
Sorry, but you are led by a lying spirit.
Yes John Hagee is one of the very BEST!!
Fortune-telling is bad for your health. Evenif you try to use God Word as your ouija board. A neurotic anxiety to know what the future holds is incompatible with joyous confidence in the God who holds the future.
Clarence Larkin was a great man of God, whose teachings are used by many Bible believing students. He did not get his inspiration from a vision of a catholic, nor do I.
Sorry, but you are led by a lying spirit.
No, Paul is dealing with the Second Coming, which is precisely what Paul means when he says, at His Coming, but no doubt you will find a convaluted, twisted way to deny that fact.
Paul is dealing with a different matter here in the scripture you show.
And what "matter", would that be?
But let's look at the CONTEXT of Paul's discourse in 1 Corinthians 15:
12Now if Christ is preached that He has been raised from the dead, how do some among you say that there is no resurrection of the dead? 13But if there is no resurrection of the dead, then Christ is not risen. 14And if Christ is not risen, then our preaching is empty and your faith is also empty. 15Yes, and we are found false witnesses of God, because we have testified of God that He raised up Christ, whom He did not raise up--if in fact the dead do not rise. 16For if the dead do not rise, then Christ is not risen. 17And if Christ is not risen, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins! 18Then also those who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished. 19If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men the most pitiable.
*****note; the CONTEXT is resurrection*****
20But now Christ is risen from the dead, and has become the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. 21For since by man came death, by Man also came the resurrection of the dead. 22For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive. 23But each one in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, afterward those who are Christ's at His coming. 24Then comes the end, when He delivers the kingdom to God the Father, when He puts an end to all rule and all authority and power.
*****note; Paul without any doubt, and as plainly as it can be said, says clearly that Christ is the firstfruit of the Resurrection and "at His Coming"(hint: that means His Second Coming)Then comes the end, when He delivers the kingdom to God the Father, when He puts an end to all rule and all authority and power.*****
The end, means exactly that, "the end". Christ puts and end to all rule and all authority and power at His Coming in Judgment. No secret, two stage coming. It is one, and is equivalent to Resurrection and Judgment.
It doesn't get any plainer than that.
Well, I guess you'll just have to search through this thread and find the catching away of the church scriptures that I posted for you. If you are at all sincere about wanting to expand your knowledge , then you will do just that.
Are you that narrow-minded that you have no room to expand your knowledge of the scriptures... How sad.
What's sad, is that you have been duped by false teachers, and can't see the truth of Scripture because of a horrible false teaching system that has infected your spirit.
The Antichrist – representative of the final Gentile world empire – will desecrate a restored Jewish sanctuary, to be sure. But apparently, it is only temporary. It could be the ancient tent fashioned by David, or it could be a temporary building.
But the real and lasting Third Temple will be built by Messiah, Himself. This lengthy and detailed development is described by Ezekiel in chapters 40 through 48. Among the significant aspects of the process is the confirmation of the Holy Place:
"So he measured the length thereof, twenty cubits; and the breadth, twenty cubits, before the temple: and he said unto me, This is the most holy place" (Ezk. 41:4).
After this, there is an interesting detail that reminds us of Revelation 11. Ezekiel speaks of the return of the Shekinah glory. But he also refers to a "profane place" that is apparently provided for Gentile use.
"He measured it by the four sides: it had a wall round about, five hundred reeds long, and five hundred broad, to make a separation between the sanctuary and the profane place.
"Afterward he brought me to the gate, even the gate that looketh toward the east:
"And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east: and his voice was like a noise of many waters: and the earth shined with his glory" (Ezk. 42:20 – 43:2).
In Revelation 11, John also sees where a court for the Gentiles is specifically laid out.
Jerusalem Rebuilt
The Kingdom Temple described by Ezekiel in great detail is often referred to as the Third Temple. It will be the greatest and most detailed municipal plan ever undertaken. "Jerusalem, the Golden" will be its rightful name. It will be the seat of the Davidic throne. Perhaps Ornan's ancient threshing floor somehow will be preserved and displayed as the site of the Holy Place.
A thousand years of Messianic rule will bless the earth. During that time, everyone on earth will pay homage and tribute to the reigning house of David. Satan will have been bound, and the earth restored.
But at the end of the Millennium, Satan will be released, and there will come a new rebellion and judgment. Following the divine retribution of the Great White Throne, and the renewing of heaven and earth, Jerusalem will finally realize its destiny:
It will suddenly appear above earth (perhaps in stationary orbit above the site of the old Jerusalem?) as a gleaming gem. Its very structure is freighted with meaning, with twelve foundations for the Apostles and twelve gates for the tribes of Israel.
Its streets of transparent gold beggar the imagination. But, most amazing of all, it is illuminated by God:
"And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.
"And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.
"And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it" (Rev. 21:22-24).
Notice that New Jerusalem has no temple. The redeemed, the Lord God and the Lamb become one. They are literally the new temple, as given in Revelation 3:12:
"Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name."
Abraham and all the faithful will have eternal, complete and irrefutable identity with the living God. Like the Jews, let us remember the heart's cry of our destiny: "Next year in Jerusalem!"

But hey, it's a free country and you are free to remain duped by false teachers if you want.
John Hagee is a heretic and false teacher of the worst kind.
John Hagee teaches an occultic concept of faith, and teaches a false gospel that the Jews are saved because they are Jews and do not need Christ.
John Hagee is from the pit of hell.
I agree to part of what you say. Bible prophecy is not "fortune telling". But you are right that we need to be joyous in our Christian walk. We should read the Bible like one would read a road map...The Holy Spirit guides us in all truth...We must know the signs and what they mean. That's not fortune telling. That's doing what Jesus tells us to do. So we won't be deceived.
Those parables mean nothing to you do they?
Those passages are meaningless to you aren't they?
Yes, they are, because they stand in opposition to your false system.
Next thing you know you'l be talking in gobblygook tongues, and still led by a deceiving spirit.
I have Choir Practice/Orchestra Practice tonight but will be watching for your comments...
