Yes Virginia, Syrian govt celebrates Xmas, in Arabic?

Video

Al-Farah Choir performs at Dar al-Assad for Culture and Arts celebrating Christmas and New Year, can you recognize the tunes? Many Syrian Christians speak Syriac, a type of Aramaic.  Jesus of Nazareth was Aramaic, not Hebrew, Aramaic was his primary language (in 2014 Catholic Pope Francis and Israeli despot Benjamin Netanyahu argued over what language Jesus of Nazareth spoke).  Back then your primary language indicated your ethnicity.  Aramians are Semitic, just like Arabs and Hebrews.

World War 3: Pope Francis officially recognizes Palestine!

“The Holy See recognized Palestine a long time ago. What is new is that we are about to sign an agreement between them and the State of Palestine.”-Palestinian Liberation Oreganization

The Vatican has signed a new treaty officially recognizing the State of Palestine!  The treaty will allow Palestine to collect taxes from the Catholic church!

The Vatican has unofficially recognized Palestine since 2012.  The Vatican now joins 138 countries who officially recognize Palestine.  The United States and Israel refuse to recognize the Palestinian people.

What’s in a Prophecy? Man of the Year survives 7 month reign using Jedi Mind Tricks, like swears he’s not a communist! Says Christians will be united through bloody persecution! Is ISON really dead?

16 December 2013 (18:22 UTC-07 Tango 15 December 2013)/12 Safar 1435/25 Azar 1392/14 Jia-Zi (11th month) 4711

“For me, ecumenism is a priority. Today, there’s the ecumenism of blood. In some countries they kill Christians because they wear a cross or have a Bible, and before killing them they don’t ask if they’re Anglicans, Lutherans, Catholic or Orthodox.  The blood is mixed. For those who kill, we’re Christians. We’re united in blood, even if among ourselves we still haven’t succeeded in taking the necessary steps towards unity and perhaps the moment hasn’t arrived. Unity is a grace that we have to ask for.”–Pope Francis

77 years old Pope Francis seems to have survived Nostradamus’ seven month reign prophecy. Time magazine has even named him Person of the Year.

The new Person of the Year has responded to U.S. “ultraconservatives” (that’s what European news media call conservatives in the U.S.) saying “Marxist ideology is wrong. But I have met many Marxists in my life who are good people, so I don’t feel offended.”

Francis also pointed out that what many people think is conservative capitalism today is actually pure gluttony and greed: “The grave financial and economic crises of the present time…have pushed man to seek satisfaction, happiness and security in consumption and earnings out of all proportion to the principles of a sound economy.”

Francis continues to upset the established Catholic order.  The relatively new Franciscan Friars of the Immaculate are upset because they’ve been effectively shut down by Vatican officials.

An opinion piece on Al Jazeera basically said the whole mystic of ‘change’ brought by the new Pope is a “fallacy”.  According to Michael Tracey, what Francis is saying is not necessarily new, and is basically a Jedi Mind Trick focused primarily on trying to bring all Christians back under the direct control of Catholicism (the last vestige of the Western Holy Roman Empire).

On 13 December, Francis said this about certain Christians: “Seeing these children who are afraid to dance, to cry, afraid of everything, who ask for certainty in all things, I think of these sad Christians, who always criticize the preachers of the Truth, because they are afraid to open the door to the Holy Spirit. Let us pray for them, and pray also for ourselves, that we do not become sad Christians, cutting off the freedom of the Holy Spirit to come to us through the scandal of preaching.”

A couple of weeks ago Francis (Jorge Bergoglio) thanked a nun, not god, for saving his life.  He said while he was in the hospital struggling with his lung problem, a nun ignored doctor’s orders and tripled the dosage of medication prescribed to the young pope.  Francis claims her initiative saved his life.

NASA claims ISON (aka C/2012 S1) has been killed by the true God of our solar system, the Sun.  ISON traveled inward from the Oort Cloud.  The Oort Cloud is also where the extra solar planet Nibiru came from.  The ancient Sumerians say Nibiru is the home planet of extra terrestrial humans who genetically engineered Earthling humans millions of years ago.  Nibiru and ISON have a star grazing orbit, meaning when they pass through our solar system they come danger close to the Sun.

The billions of years old Oort Cloud is basically the extreme point of the explosive birth of our Sun, which created our solar system.

ISON came within 1.2 million miles of the Sun’s surface.  Even the best NASA and ESA solar observers lost track of ISON.  However, officials have declared ISON dead.  They base their claim on the fact that the cloud trail of ISON has disappeared, so they assume it died.  If by some miracle, as if ISON was born again, we should have seen it by now.

“Climb up, as did Zacchaeus, climb onto the tree of the desire of being forgiven. I will assure you that you will not be disappointed.”-Pope Francis, 03 November 2013 speech imploring people to ‘return’ to the Catholic Church

“The Vatican is taking the unusual step of conducting a worldwide survey on how parishes deal with sensitive issues such as birth control, divorce and gay marriage, seeking input ahead of a major meeting on the family that Pope Francis plans next year.”–Associated Press

The Extraordinary General Assembly of the Synod of Bishops will be held in October 2014.

“The Vatican’s new Apostolic Nuncio to Iran says Pope Francis seeks closer bilateral relations between the Catholic government and the Islamic Republic.”–Press TV

“To defend this economic culture, a throwaway culture has been installed. We throw away grandparents, and we throw away young people. We have to say no to this throwaway culture…..We don’t want this globalized economic system……At its center there should be man and woman, as God wants, and not money!…..I want this courage to come out from inside and push me to do all I can as a pastor, as a man. We must all face this historic challenge….Charity is not simply welfare…..Sometimes one finds arrogance, too, in those who serve the poor…….they fill their mouths with the poor; some exploit the poor in their own interests or those of their group!  This is a grave sin….”-Pope Francis, September speech to Sardinia’s working poor. Reportedly he threw away his prepared speech after witnessing the sufferings of the poor on the island, and gave a scathing rebuke to capitalism, globalization and liberal do-gooders

Japan’s NHK has recorded the first images of ISON: “Late last month, NHK attached a Super Hi-Vision camera and single-lens reflex to a one-meter diameter telescope at an observatory in Tottori City, western Japan.”-Nippon Housou Kyoukai/Japan Broadcasting Corporation

Astronomers say ISON should become visible, in the early morning hours from the Northern Hemisphere of Earth, at the end of November, when it becomes as bright as Venus.

“After its encounter with the sun Nov. 28, it will be ‘showtime’ for Comet ISON during the first fortnight of December. If the debris field holds together in a reasonable fashion, we will indeed be treated to a 1997 Hale-Bopp-like Comet of the Century in the early evening sky in December. If not, then a December 1973 Comet Kohoutek-like fizzle will be the order of the day.”–Roger Culver, Colorado State University

ISON refers to the International Scientific Optical Network.  In September 2012, Vitali Nevski and Artyom Novichonok discovered the huge comet using the Kislovodsk Observatory, which is part of the Network.  They thought it would be easier for people to remember ISON as the name of the comet, rather than the traditional way of naming of a comet using the names of those who discover it.

Pope Francis says ideological Christians are sick in the head!

What’s in a Prophecy? Pope Francis says ideological Christians are sick in the head! Wants to unite all western Christians!

23 October 2013 (20:01 UTC-07 Tango 22 October 2013)/18 Dhu’l-Hijja 1434/01 Aban 1391/19 Ren-Xu (9th month) 4711

“The faith passes, so to speak, through a distiller and becomes ideology, and ideology does not beckon. In ideologies there is not Jesus: in his tenderness, his love, his meekness. Ideologies are rigid, always. Of every sign: rigid.  When a Christian becomes a disciple of the ideology, he has lost the faith: he is no longer a disciple of Jesus, he is a disciple of this attitude of thought…..For this reason Jesus said to them: ‘You have taken away the key of knowledge.’……it is a serious illness, this of ideological Christians. It is an illness…..”-Pope Francis, on Radio Vatican 17 October

Francis also blamed arrogant Christian right wingism on false praying.

Today, Pope Francis ordered Catholics to pray for other Christian denominations, specifically for reunification with Lutherans: “But we Catholics must pray with each other and other Christians. Pray that the Lord gift us unity!.………..Catholics and Lutherans can ask forgiveness for the harm they have caused one another and for their offenses committed in the sight of God. Together we can rejoice in the longing for unity which the Lord has awakened in our hearts, and which makes us look with hope to the future.”

“I already hear concerns that the reformist church of 76-year-old Pope Francis might not survive his pontificate. I hear talk that the anti-reformists who took back the Second Vatican Council will likely do it again once Francis is gone….will Francis fade like the council, a meteorite in the night sky? Francis is the first pontiff educated during the council. He is a product of the council. In this sense, he is the first post-conciliar pontiff.”-Thomas C. Fox, Catholic National Reporter

“Seven months after ascending the throne of Saint Peter, Pope Francis is in the midst of a crusade against the sins of Vatican City……Francis personally moved to oust top officials of the secretive Vatican bank…..backed a push for greater financial transparency, while moving faster than many expected to replace Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone……who once wielded the power of a vice pope……the pope is preparing to consolidate the Curia’s myriad operations, with the aim of reducing the size of the bureaucracy. Francis has recently suggested that clerics should focus on their home dioceses rather than angle for prestigious postings in the Holy See. His new advisory board of eight cardinals from around the globe is seen as a counterweight to the power of Vatican-based authorities.”-The Independent, 23 October

Esquire Magazine declared Pope Francis the most interesting man in the world.

“Speaking of Pope Francis, obviously as an observant Catholic, I believe the pope is infallible. But he’s also wrong about a lot of things.”-Stephen Colbert

What’s in a Prophecy? ISON on track. The People’s Pope Francis makes more elitist enemies!

“If the present pope continues in the way he started, he is going to divide the Church. He’s exploding everything. So people will say: ‘It is impossible that’s he’s the Pope, we refuse him.’ Others will say: ‘Wait, consider him as Pope, but don’t follow him.'”-Bishop Bernard Fellay, Traditionalist Catholic Society of Saint Pius X

“I think his entire focus is outside the church. That’s huge.”-Phil Lawler, Catholic World News

“…..the statements he has been making are intensely problematic. Are they explicitly heretical? No. Are they dangerously close? Absolutely. What kind of a Christian tells an atheist he has no intention to convert him? That alone should disturb Catholics everywhere.”–Steve Skojec, anti-pope Catholic blogger from United States

“Is Pope Francis a wishy-washy spineless pope?  Perhaps a pawn, to be used by the liberals inside and outside the Church?…….I have more issues now with him than I did months ago!…..I will continue to pray for him, my Church and myself to come to some sort of peace….”-Julie @ Connecticut Catholic Corner

Controversial, and supposedly ineffective, Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone, the now former Secretary of State for the Catholic church, retired.  Some news reports said this was Francis’s first “shake up” of the corrupt leaders of Vatican.  However, other reports pointed out that Bertone had simply reached the age limit for holding the office, and had to retire anyway. Pope Francis is replacing him with controversial, but very effective, Archbishop Pietro Parolin.  Parolin is said to have implied to a Venezuelan news source that the order that priests cannot get married is not dogma, and therefore can be debated.  Parolin also said the Church had to “return to Primitive Christianity.”

Bishop Franz-Peter Tebartz-van Elst, of Germany, is being accused of spending church money on a private mansion.  Germans are calling him Bishop DeLux.  Reports say his mansion has a bath tub that cost $20-thousand USD!  He also insulted poor people by flying first class to India, to inspect programs for the poor.  He’s meeting the Pope this week.

The huge comet ISON is on track to make astronomical viewing history (from our point view on Earth).  A recent report from the American Astronomical Society’s Division for Planetary Sciences confirms the comet is massive.  This after there were reports that it might be breaking up.

Turns out this is ISON’s first trip around the Sun, coupled with its large size, it means it has a lot of material to be burned up which could help it survive.  Some astronomers have predicted that if it survives its turn around the Sun it will emerge on the other side looking like a second Sun, visible during the daytime here on Earth. This seems to correspond to prophecies about the last pope.

Some amateur astronomers have reported seeing ISON.  Check out SkyandTelescope.com and Astronomy.com for advice on viewing ISON.

Opinion

What’s in a Prophecy? Nostradamus warns of the last Pope; a short 7 month reign of Francis and coming Civil War among Christians and failure of the War with Islam? Here comes ISON!

14 March 2013/02 Jumada l-Ula 1434/24 Esfand 1391/3 Yi-Mao (2nd month) 4711

From the Edgar Leoni translations of Nostradamus poems [with my comments].

Century V Quatrain 46: Quarrels and schisms by the red hats [Catholic cardinals] When the Sabine [area of Italy associated with Francis of Assisi, Francis Assisi was introduced to the Pope by the Cardinal Bishop of Sabina] will have been elected: They will produce great sophisms [deceitful arguments, like the lies about weapons of mass destruction that Iraq never had] against him, And Rome will be injured by those of Alba [Albanians/Muslims?]. 

Century VIII Quatrain 93: Seven months, no more he will obtain the prelacy [high ranking Christian clerics, however newer translations have changed prelacy to papacy which is specifically referring to the Pope], Through his death a great schism will arise [civil war among Catholics/Christians?]: Seven months another will hold governorship [some have interpreted this to mean a retired Pope being recalled to duty after Francis/The Sabine dies. For the first time in 598 years there is now a retired Pope], Near Venice peace, union to arise again [I’ve read somewhere that this could mean the unification of all versions of Christianity, as in prior to the split up of the original Roman Church].

Century II Quatrain 97: Roman Pontiff [Catholic Pope] beware of approaching The city that two rivers flow through [the Tigris and Euphrates converge in Basra, Iraq, near the Bronze Age Sumerian city of Ur. There are many other cities with two rivers flowing through, but Iraq was known in ancient times specifically as the land between two rivers], Near there your blood will come to spirt, You and yours when the rose will flourish. [this could be a time reference, or a reference to any number of organizations, including the British monarchy, who use the rose as one of their symbols (the English even fought a War of the Roses).  Speaking of which, the Rosicrucian Order is one such rosy organization, with a sect of the order called Golden Dawn.  The Golden Dawn are now a major fascist political party in cash strapped Greece, in other words, the Greek Golden Dawn is flourishing. This leads us to the next Quatrain as Athens, Greece, is also a city with two rivers]

Century V Quatrain 31: Trough the Attic [Attica, a region of Greece that includes Athens] land fountain of wisdom, At present the rose of the world: The bridge [some translations have this as The Papacy or Pope] ruined, and its great pre-eminence Will be subjected, a wreck amidst the waves. [Attica juts into the Aegean Sea, this is significant to any War with Islam, as in ancient times the Iranian Empire crossed this area (by land and sea) to attack the Greek Empire. Of course the Iranians weren’t Muslims back then. Nostradamus’s references to Christianity and Islam should be viewed more as West vs East. Today’s Catholic church is nothing more than the continuation of the Greco/Roman Western Empire, and many of today’s Islamic Shia Iranians see the growing economic success of their country as a resurgence of their ancient Eastern Iranian (the Greeks called them Persians) Empire. So does this quatrain mean that the current invasion of Muslim dominated East by the Christian dominated West (aka War on Terror) will end in catastrophic failure for the West?]

Century II Quatrain 41: The great star will burn for seven days, The cloud will cause two suns to appear: The big mastiff will howl all night When the great pontiff will change country.  [Gregorian year 2013 is being called the year of the comets.  Already comet PanSTARRS has been seen in the Southern Hemisphere country of Australia (Pope Francis calls the Southern Hemisphere his home), and it should be visible in the North now. There will be a couple of other comets before we get to the big one later in the year.  Last year Russian astronomers discovered C/2012 S1 ISON (don’t forget about the meteor that hit Russia last month).  S1 ISON is so big that if it survives its turn around our Sun (at the end of 2013) astronomers say it will be as bright as our Moon, and will appear alongside our Sun during the day, accentuated by a spectacular dusty comet trail (“The cloud will cause two suns to appear”).  Regarding the pontiff changing countries, in the past the Catholic church has moved its HQ to France in times of emergencies.  Something could happen around the time of S1 ISON’s journey around the Sun to scare the Catholics out of Vatican City.]


International, U.S.

What’s in the New Pope’s name? Francis of Assisi or Francis Xavier or both? Meet Peter the Roman! Warning for non-Christians!

“Peter the Roman, who will pasture his sheep in many tribulations, and when these things are finished, the city of seven hills will be destroyed, and the dreadful judge will judge his people. The End.”-attributed to Saint Malachy of Ireland

14 March 2013/02 Jumada l-Ula 1434/24 Esfand 1391/3 Yi-Mao (2nd month) 4711

Catholic officials claim that the new Catholic Pope took the name of Francis of Assisi, because he loved poor people.  The main streamer media says it’s to satisfy Italian Catholics.   My research shows that the name choice could be in respect to Francis Xavier, who also ‘loved’ poor people, and that there is no reason for Pope Francis to take an ‘Italian’ name because he is Italian!

Both Assisi and Xavier are Saints in the Catholic church.  Francis of Assisi founded the Franciscan Order.  Francis Xavier was one of the founders of the Jesuits (Society of Jesus).  The new Pope is a Jesuit.

Franciscans and Jesuits embrace poverty.  Contrary to what many people think, this does not mean they are trying to elevate poverty.  Francis of Assisi believed the poor life was the proper life for Christians.  A co-founder of the Jesuits adopted the Biblical phrase “What will it profit a man to gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?”   

Francis of Assisi is associated with animals, especially birds. At one point during the election process for the new Pope, Sea Gulls were seen taking turns sitting on top of the signal chimney.

The new Pope Francis was born Jorge Mario Bergoglio (note the Italian middle and last names). He is considered an evangelical, meaning someone who wants to convert more people to their religion, or bring back members who’ve left.  Both Francis of Assisi and Francis Xavier took part in evangelical missions, however Xavier’s evangelical efforts are far more numerous than anything Assisi did. In fact, Xavier is known as the Patron of Catholic Missions (it was Xavier who brought Christianity to South and East Asia).

Francis of Assisi is Patron of Italy, and the city of San Francisco U.S.A.   Francis Xavier is Patron of dozens of countries and cities around the World.  Both are recognized by other Christian churches.

Francis Xavier is associated with the burning heart, which is a strong theme in Latin America.

Francis of Assisi had to bring order to his own Franciscan organization, but, Xavier is the more skilled at organizing since he organized most of his long missionary missions around the World.  Pope Francis is known for his organizational skills.

Assisi took part in some of the early policy reforms of the Catholic church, and it could be said that Xavier’s missionary work also reformed the church.  Pope Francis is known for helping to reform the Argentine Catholic church.

Francis of Assisi (Italy) was born in France, his mother French, his father Italian. Francis Xavier was Spanish. Pope Francis was born in Argentina (Spanish dominated), his parents were immigrants from Italy (this shows the main streamer media’s ignorance, because he is of Italian descent and therefore does not need to take an Italian name to satisfy Italian Catholics).

So, Pope Francis is a ‘Roman’, by ancestry.  That fits part of Catholic Saint Malachy’s alleged prophecy referring to the last Pope as Peter the Roman.

The announcement of this potentially last Pope took place in Saint Peter’s Square, from Saint Peter’s Basilica in the tiny country of Vatican.

Francis of Assisi is claimed to have exorcised the spirit of Brother Peter in the Porziuncola. The story goes that Brother Peter’s ghost was performing miracles (and what’s wrong with that?) and the gathering crowds were beginning to annoy the Franciscans, so Assisi commanded the ghost of Brother Peter to leave.

I’m sure as time goes by those who like speculating on ‘prophecies’ will find more ‘Peter’ connections.

But wait, there’s more.  Both Francis of Assisi and Francis Xavier are associated with Evil by non-Christians.

The Franciscans took part in the Evil Crusades against Muslims, Jews and Eastern Christians (non-Catholics)!

Francis Xavier took part in the Evil Inquisition.  The Inquisition saw thousands of people across Western Europe tortured and murdered because they were Muslims, Jews or ‘non-believers’!  Xavier even asked the King of Portugal for help in bringing the Inquisition to India: “The second necessity for the Christians is that Your Majesty establish the Holy Inquisition in Goa because there are many who live according to the Jewish Law and according to the Mohammedan Sect, without any fear of God or shame of the World. And since there are many Hindus who are spread all over the fortresses, there is the need of the Holy Inquisition, and of many preachers. Your Majesty should provide such necessary things for your loyal and faithful subjects in the Indies.” 

So for some people, Pope Francis could mean evil things to come.

Government Incompetence: Spanish taxpayers forced to pay for Catholic Pope’s visit

“We criticize this scandalous show at a time of such a terribly distressing economic situation, with entire families unemployed.”-Evaristo Villar, Christian Networks

The Pope is visiting Spain, and the taxpayers are paying for it, to tune of U.S.$70 million to $150 million.  This comes at a time when 20% of Spaniards are unemployed.

One protestor called the Pope’s visit a “huge Christian circus”.

72% of Spaniards claim to be Catholic, but that’s not stopping younger Catholics from joining the protests.  However, Catholics have also joined riot police in attacking protestors: “I was at the protest with my father, and one of the Catholics punched me in the face.” 18 year-old protester

When you break down Spain’s unemployment by age, 45% of teenagers and young adults are jobless.
