A FALSE PROPHET COMES FROM THE VATICAN ALSO AT THIS TIME.

ISAIAH 23:15-17
15  And it shall come to pass in that day, that Tyre shall be forgotten seventy years, according to the days of one king: after the end of seventy years shall Tyre sing as an harlot.
16  Take an harp, go about the city, thou harlot that hast been forgotten; make sweet melody, sing many songs, that thou mayest be remembered.
17  And it shall come to pass after the end of seventy years, that the LORD will visit Tyre, and she shall turn to her hire, and shall commit fornication with all the kingdoms of the world upon the face of the earth.(COULD THIS BE 70 YEARS AFTER ISRAEL BECAME A NATION IN 1948)(IF SO THIS SATANIC ONE WORLD WHORE CHURCH WILL MINGLE TOGETHER BY 2018)(AND NOW ISLAM AND CHRISTIANITY AND ALL RELIGIONS ARE MINGLING AS ONE PEACE-LOVE-JOY-GET ALONG RELIGION LEAD BY THE VATICAN RIGHT NOW 4 YEARS FROM THE 70 YEAR TIME WHEN ISRAEL BECAME A NATION).AND IN CONTROL OF JERUSALEM.

REVELATION 13:11-18
11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth;(FALSE VATICAN POPE) and he had two horns like a lamb,(JESUS IS THE LAMB OF GOD) and he spake as a dragon.(HES SATANICALLY INSPIRED,HES A CHRISTIAN DEFECTOR FROM THE FAITH)
12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him,(WORLD DICTATOR) and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.(THE WORLD DICTATOR CREATES A FALSE RESURRECTION AND IS CROWNED LEADER OF THE NEW WORLD ORDER).
13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
16 And he(FALSE POPE) causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:(CHIP IMPLANT)
17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.(6-6-6) A NUMBER SYSTEM

REVELATION 17:1-18
1 And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters:
2 With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication,(VATICAN IN POLITICS) and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.
3 So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.
4 And the woman (FALSE CHURCH) was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour,(VATICAN COLOURS)(ANOTHER REASON WE KNOW THE FALSE POPE COMES FROM THE VATICAN) and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:
5 And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
6 And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.
7 And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns.
8 The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.
9 And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.(THE VATICAN IS BUILT ON 7 HILLS OR MOUNTAINS)
10 And there are seven kings: five are fallen,(1-ASSYRIA,2-EGYPT,3-BABYLON,4-MEDO-PERSIA,5-GREECE) and one is,(IN POWER IN JOHNS AND JESUS DAY-6-ROME) and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.(7TH-REVIVED ROMAN EMPIRE OR THE EUROPEAN UNION TODAY AND THE SHORT SPACE IS-THE EUROPEAN UNION WILL HAVE WORLD CONTROL FOR THE LAST 3 1/2 YEARS.BUT WILL HAVE ITS MIGHTY WORLD POWER FOR THE FULL 7 YEARS OF THE 7 YEAR TRIBULATION PERIOD.AND THE WORLD DICTATOR WILL BE THE BEAST FROM THE EU.AND THE VATICAN POPE WILL BE THE WHORE THAT RIDES THE EUROPEAN UNION TO POWER.AND THE 2 EUROPEAN UNION POWER FREAKS WILL CONTROL AND DECIEVE THE WHOLE EARTH INTO THEIR DESTRUCTION.IF YOU ARE NOT SAVED BY THE BLOOD OF JESUS.YOU WILL BE DECIEVED BY THESE TWO.THE WORLD POLITICIAN-THE EUROPEAN UNION DICTATOR.AND THE FALSE PROPHET THAT DEFECTS CHRISTIANITY-THE FALSE VATICAN POPE.
11 And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.
12 And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.
13 These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.
14 These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.
15 And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.(VATICAN-CATHOLICS ALL AROUND THE WORLD OVER 1 BILLION)
16 And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast,(WORLD DICTATOR) these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.
17 For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.
18 And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.

05/ 9/2015-The help of the Church in the thaw in relations between the US and Cuba-Obama and Raúl Castro shake hands-Tomorrow, Raúl Castro will be meeting Francis in the Vatican, ahead of the Pope’s visit to the island in September, on his way to the US-ANDREA TORNIELLI
vatican city-The Pope’s meeting with Raúl Castro is just around the corner. The 85-year-old Cuban president, Fidel’s brother, in the protagonist – alongside US President Barack Obama – of the historic thaw in relations between the two countries, a diplomatic initiative which the Holy See has discreetly helped ease along. Castro requested an audience with Pope Francis, adding this Vatican leg to a journey that took him first to Algeria and then Moscow.Other than the global prospects for Latin America, triggered by the recent Panama summit, which was attended by the Vatican Secretary of State Cardinal Pietro Parolin, there are also diplomatic and ecclesial questions on the agenda in terms of the Holy See’s relationship with Havana.As far as the former are concerned, the aim is to continue and to beef up dialogue between Cuba and the Holy See after a cold war that has lasted decades. A long history that has given rise to tensions and problems that cannot easily be resolved. As part of the package of requests Cuba wishes to address to the US, the island plans to ask for the return of the historic military base of Guantanamo, the US’s military outpost on the island and in Latin America. The big issue, however, is the embargo, which has an impact on financial, commercial and cultural relations. The positive signs represented by the first contact between the two countries through the possibility of travel is contributing to a lessening of tensions. But we must not forget that in order for restrictive measures to be cancelled, approval is first needed from Congress and the course of action upheld by Obama may not necessarily receive the required consensus.Another important point worth remembering, is that up until now, the Cuban government has used the US embargo as a justification for policies of economic control over the island and its population. Pope Francis is in a position to help the resumed dialogue process, backing calls for the embargo to be lifted, while at the same time asking the Cuban government to do its bit to advance the thaw in relations and move in the direction of freedom in order to improve the living conditions of the population.The Catholic Church in Cuba has been backing the dialogue process for many years, in order to encourage Cuba to open itself up to the world, and the world to open itself up to Cuba, to coin a phrase used by John Paul II. The Holy See promoted the thaw in US-Cuban relations, in tune with the efforts of local bishops led by Cardinal Jaime Lucas Ortega y Alamino. They have asked the Cuban government for permission to build new churches and for improvements in communication and transport. They hope to have greater access to communication channels and that this communication will not just be limited to a quarter of an hour each year.The hope is that tomorrow’s audience, as well as the Pope’s visit to the island this coming September, as part of the same trip that will, significantly, also include visits to Washington, to the White House and to Congress, will all have positive and concrete consequences. The recent history of relations between the Vatican and Cuba, has shown that these kinds of events are always marked by concessions made by the Cuban government, for example the re-introduction of Christmas as a public holiday, which was announced before John Paul II’s visit to the Caribbean island.

1 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

7 Be thou prepared, and prepare for thyself, thou, and all thy company that are assembled unto thee, and be thou a guard unto them.
8 After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them.
9 Thou shalt ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many people with thee.(RUSSIA-EGYPT AND MUSLIMS)
10 Thus saith the Lord GOD; It shall also come to pass, that at the same time shall things come into thy mind, and thou shalt think an evil thought:
11 And thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of unwalled villages;(ISRAEL) I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates,
12 To take a spoil,(OIL IS IN SPOIL) and to take a prey; to turn thine hand upon the desolate places that are now inhabited, and upon the people that are gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the midst of the land.

EZEKIEL 39:1-8,11-21
1 Therefore, thou son of man, prophesy against Gog,(LEADER OF RUSSIA) and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech (MOSCOW) and Tubal: (TUBOLSK)

3 And I will smite thy bow out of thy left hand, and will cause thine arrows to fall out of thy right hand.
4 Thou shalt fall upon the mountains of Israel, thou, and all thy bands,( ARABS) and the people that is with thee: I will give thee unto the ravenous birds of every sort, and to the beasts of the field to be devoured.
5 Thou shalt fall upon the open field: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD.
6 And I will send a fire on Magog,(NUCLEAR ATOMIC BOMB) and among them that dwell carelessly in the isles: and they shall know that I am the LORD.

8 Behold, it is come, and it is done, saith the Lord GOD; this is the day whereof I have spoken.
11 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will give unto Gog (RUSSIA/ARAB/MUSLIMS) a place there of graves in Israel, the valley of the passengers (EAST OF THE DEAD SEA IN JORDAN VALLEY) on the east of the sea: and it shall stop the noses of the passengers: and there shall they bury Gog (RUSSIAN) and all his multitude:(ARAB/MUSLIM HORDE) and they shall call it The valley of Hamongog.(BURIEL SITE OF THE 300 MILLION,RUSSIAN/ARAB/MUSLIMS)

What does Putin’s 9 May parade mean? By Andrew Rettman-EUOBSERVER

BRUSSELS, 8. May, 20:22-At 10am Moscow time on Saturday (9 May), Russian president Vladimir Putin, other leaders, and a happy crowd will watch thousands of soldiers and hundreds of tanks roll through Red Square.It’s the largest parade ever and it’ll be the centrepiece of events to mark 70 years after the Red Army defeated Hitler.Celebrations will start in Novosibirsk at 7am Moscow time and will take place in all big cities, as well as in Sevastopol, Crimea, which Russia annexed from Ukraine last year.There’ll be blanket coverage on Russian TV. RT, a state broadcaster, will live-stream proceedings in Arabic, English, and Spanish on You Tube.

But what does it mean?

Part of the answer lies in the St. George’s ribbon.The striped, black-and-amber insignia is a symbol of military valour from the 18th century. It’s the official logo of the 9 May event and it’ll be displayed on the turrets of Armatas, the new Russian tank to be unveiled this weekend.It’s also the badge used by Russia’s proxy forces in east Ukraine in a war which has cost more than 6,000 lives.Russia’s EU ambassador, Vladimir Chizhov, and his entourage wore them at a press briefing in Brussels this week.When EUobserver asked him what it means, he said: “The order of St. George was inaugurated by Catherine the Great in Russia’s wars with the Ottoman Empire. About 10 years ago, it became a popular symbol of our devotion to the memory of those who fought in The Great Patriotic War … The order existed long before Crimea became part of the Russian empire. So, that’s about the ribbon”.He noted, in other remarks, that WWII began with Germany’s “Anschluss” of Czechoslovakia prior to its invasion of Poland on 1 September 1939.
But he rejected comparison with Crimea, saying “Crimea was not an annexation by any means … it was an attempt by local people to decide their future for themselves”.He justified Russia’s deployment of special forces in Crimea by claiming Ukrainian nationalists were preparing a “massacre” of Russian speakers.He added that Stalin, who, like Hitler, murdered millions of Russians, was in his “personal opinion” a “dictator”.
But he said he’s a “national hero” for many Russians and that, in any case, he shouldn’t overshadow the memory of Nazi victims.He also defended Russia’s invasion of Poland in 1939, under the "Molotov-Ribbentrop" pact with Germany, as an act of “necessity” at the time.

Narrative

It’s a narrative espoused by many Russian people.Denis Volkov, a sociologist who works for Levada, an independent pollster in Russia, told this website the St. George’s ribbon is primarily associated with 1945 not 2014.He said that, for “some minorities, such as hard nationalists and ultra-supporters of the war in Donbas [east Ukraine]”, the badge has “a more complex meaning” related directly to Ukraine.But he disagreed with Chizhov, saying the seizure of Crimea is part of the “joy” of this year’s 9 May holiday.“The ribbon is linked to Crimea … it means that 70 years ago Russia was a great power shaping Europe and the wider world and now Russia is a great power once again”, he said.“We did it then. We’ve done it again. And we’ll do more if we have to”.Looking at Soviet symbols - such as Lenin’s mausoleum in Red Square, busts of Stalin - he said there’s a debate in Russian society.The anti-Putin intelligentsia aside, Volkov said one third of Russians want Lenin to be moved aside. But most of them, especially young people, have stripped Soviet icons of historical fact.“Stalin has been freed of responsibility because he’s so central to the image of Russia’s greatness”, he said.“People say: ‘Yes. Stalin killed people’. But most of them don’t have a historical understanding. The meaning of Stalin is more about the present time”.“I’ll give you an example: In my own housing committee, in my block of flats, two days ago, they handed out leaflets with Stalin’s face and the words ‘Only he can fix this’. It was about today’s problems - the government not working properly, high prices. It means Stalin was a strong leader and we need a strong leader to fix things”.

Interpretation

The narrative causes horror in Russia’s neighbours.The invasion of Ukraine and Putin’s nationalist-imperialist rhetoric has prompted thousands of people in the Baltic states and in Poland to join military reserves.There are calls to ban Soviet symbols in public places, as with the swastika.Ukrainians in Kiev and other government-controlled cities have torn down statues of Lenin and smashed them with hammers.It’s a narrative which has also caused alarm in EU chancelleries and in Washington.Nato has created a rapid reaction force to deter Russian aggression in the Baltic region.The EU has blacklisted Putin’s top officials and imposed economic sanctions on Russian banks, arms firms, and energy companies.Most EU leaders - but not Cyprus, the Czech Republic, Greece, Hungary, and Slovakia - have boycotted the 9 May event.The fact that chancellor Angela Merkel, the custodian of German war guilt, won’t sit next to Putin on Saturday shows the depth of European concern.Chizhov, like Putin and his spokesmen, say Russia isn't isolated on the world stage.They note that 27 heads of state or government are coming. The list includes China, Cuba, Egypt, Kazakhstan, India, Mongolia, Serbia, South Africa, Vietnam, and UN chief Ban Ki Moon.Putin and Chinese president Xi Jinping, on Friday, signed an agreement between Russia’s “Eurasian Union” and China’s “Silk Road”, an economic project.The Russian leader said it means “a new level of partnership and actually implies a common economic space on the continent”.His spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, spoke of “an impressive project, of economic, geopolitical, and other value”.

Rewind

But rewind to 2005, the 60th memorial of the Great Patriotic War, and the change is visible.There was military pomp and Putin also voiced Soviet nostalgia. But he sat next to US president George W. Bush, France’s Jacques Chirac, Germany’s Gerhard Schroeder, and 50 other heads of state.The EU and Russia were in talks on a new "strategic" pact.Russia’s economy was growing. Independent media, opposition groups, and foreign-backed NGOs were allowed to work.Ten years later, lack of reform, low oil prices, and sanctions have caused stagnation.There’s no independent information, except on the internet. Opposition leaders, such as Boris Nemtsov, are being murdered, and NGOs are being harassed as “foreign agents”.
“He [Putin] has nothing to brag about at home … so the only thing he can offer to Russian people is fear of an outside enemy and fantasies of imperial greatness”, Garry Kasparov, a former Soviet chess champion who lives in the US, told EUobserver in a recent interview.It’s an offer, embodied in the 9 May event, which Russian people accept.For Kasparov, they do it because “the collapse of the Soviet Union was painful. But, unlike Germany, there was no process of reconciliation or lustration, of cleansing society of former Communist apparatchiks, and, most importantly, of the KGB”, he said, referring to the Russian intelligence service, now called the FSB.For Volkov, most Russians won’t be thinking of Ukraine on 9 May.But their “joy” will be a symptom of what he calls Russia’s “post-imperial complex”.“The situation was better in 2005 than it is today. But people are happier now. The policy of confrontation with the West is satisfying”, he said.

Gazprom and Turkey agree pipeline date By Eric Maurice-EUOBSERVER

BRUSSELS, 8. May, 09:23-Russia and Turkey went a step further on Thursday (7 May) towards building the Turkish Stream gas pipeline.Gazprom and Ankara agreed to start delivering gas to the Turkish market at the end of next year.At the same time, Russian president Vladimir Putin offered Greece to fund the construction of a pipeline that would extend Turkish Stream to the heart of Europe."An agreement has been reached on operational commissioning and the start of gas deliveries via Turkish Stream in December 2016," said Gazprom chief Alexei Miller in statement.The 1,100-km pipeline, announced last December, is to supply 16 billion cubic meters (bcm) of gas a year to Turkey, Gazprom’s second largest market after Germany. According to the plan, the pipeline will go under the Black Sea from Russia to the Turkish-Greek border and onward to Austria in order to also supply another 47 bcm to EU markets.Four countries so far have declared their interest in the Turkish Stream project: Serbia, Macedonia, and EU member states Hungary and Greece. But Austria has stayed quiet.Greece, the entry point into the EU, is a crucial partner for Russia and Turkey.During a visit to Moscow a month ago, Greek prime minister Alexis Tsipras said "Greece [was] in the position of being a European hub".In a phone conversation with Putin on Thursday, Tsipras confirmed his interest in participating in the project, through a public-private venture.Putin said he’s ready to fund that venture and to be paid back with the profits that the company will make when operating the pipeline, according to the Greek PM’s office.The Turkish Stream project was launched in December as a replacement to South Stream.The Gazprom-majority-owned South Stream pipeline, under the Black Sea to Bulgaria, was abandoned after the European Commission said it had to conform with EU laws on separation of production and transmission assets.

Greek Stream

Speaking to press in Brussels earlier this week, Russia’s EU ambassador, Valdimir Chizhov, noted that Turkish Stream will depart the Russian coast at the same point as South Stream, follow two-thirds of the same path, then “tilt a bit to the left, to Turkey rather than Bulgaria”.He said the Greece to Austria section “will be done in full accordance with existing EU legislation”.He joked it might be called “Greek Stream”, given the history of difficult Greek-Turkish relations. But he said Gazprom would be “only too happy” to contribute to better ties.The new Turkish Stream date comes two weeks after the EU commission launched an antitrust inquiry against Gazprom.Chizhov said “I think Gazprom is in favour of an amicable solution”, which could entail changing its pricing model in order to avoid an EU fine.He said the anti-trust dispute won’t affect EU-Russia-Ukraine talks on gas flows to the EU via Ukraine.With Russia short of cash for big investments due to low oil prices, he noted “most experts” believe that oil prices will recover.“Demand for natural gas is increasing and we expect that trend to continue”, he added.
