ST. MALACHY O'MORGAIR, ARCHBISHOP OF ARMAGH, IRELAND

    St. Malachy (1049 - 1148) was an Irish Bishop, prophet, and seer, who prophecied the reign of future popes by a one-sentence verse to describe each popes' characteristics.   During a visit to Rome, St. Malachy had a vision of the papal lineage.  The Malachy prophecy remained hidden in the Vatican until it was discovered in 1595.  Some reports indicate St. Malachy's visions were merely a fabrication done some 600 years later by a Belgian monk named Arnold de Wion (also spelled de Wyon) in

a work entitled, Lignum Vitae (or Tree of Life); but after reading the listing of St. Malachy's popes, there is an interesting prophetic

scenario that emerges.

    There are two versions of St. Malachy's prophecy.  One list included 112 popes and the other 111!  In the latter, the 111th pope

[Gloria Olivae], is passed over and the list skips right to the last, the 112th pope.  So which version is correct?  

    In both accounts, the list begins with Pope Celestine II (1146).  In Malachy's list of 112 popes, he gives the characteristics of 

the last three future popes including and following [what some have interpreted to be] John Paul II, the 110th pope.  Malachy

doesn't give any indication as to what happens after the last pope, so many scholars conclude this to mean the end of time. 

    Interestingly, a very old Italian prophecy reads, "When the White Pope and the Black Pope (Head of the Jesuits or an Anti-Pope)

shall die during the same night, then there will dawn upon the Christian nations the Great White Day."

     In the papal election, the cardinals gather together to vote by secret ballot.  The cardinals choose three who collect the ballots,

three who count the votes, and three who review the results.  Two votes are taken every morning and two every afternoon

until a two-thirds plus one majority is obtained.  Catholic followers in St. Peter's Square watch the balloting by way of an

ancient custom - the smoke rising from the palace chimney as the ballots are burned.  If the majority vote has not been reached,

the smoke burns black.  When the majority of ballots have chosen the next pope, the chimney burns "white smoke" to signal

the outcome of the election has been resolved.

     According to ancient prophetical writings, early Biblical scholars, and a few transcripts from Catholic

tradition (see ref below), "five popes" lead up to and include "the great pope."  The great pope would be the

first of the last three popes who would follow in succession.   The last pope (the anti-pope) will emerge at approximately the same time the anti-christ comes to power on the world scene.   According to some

ancient prophetic texts, the papal time-line is very important because the final three popes, including

John Paul II, were to usher in the final age of the papal lineage of the Catholic church.

     At this point in time, this is where prophetical eschatology grows interesting but also may confuse some readers.  According

to the Paduan commentary, Pius XII (1939-1958) was the pope chosen at the beginning of the anti-christ's reign. (4)  

This conclusion is obviously incorrect because Pope Pius XII doesn't fit the papal genealogical time-line. 

    According to Catholic tradition, a pope chosen to reign near the beginning of the anti-christ's rule would never be coronated. 

This pope would be assassinated before he was crowned [or shortened reign thereafter.]  Pope Pius XII reigned for almost 19 years, and so he would have to be excluded in the count.   This could be the reason why one version of the Malachy prophecy skips the 111th pope and jumps to the 112th - the short reign of the 111th pope.  Also, Pius XII was the first of the five popes in succession leading up to John Paul II (the 110th pope).  Pope John Paul II is the first of the last three popes leading to the reign of the anti-christ.  Although perhaps short-lived, the next elected pope would follow in the traditions and work of Pope John Paul II.

     The succession of popes may present a very interesting picture of the timing of world and end-time events; but where did the countdown begin?  According to ancient prophecy and St. Malachy's papal time-line, the counting of the five began after

Pope Pius XI which would make John Paul II the fifth, and the last great pope, in the line of prophetic popes.

Papal Lineage to The End-Times

(An Analysis of St. Malachy's Prophecy)

 

Piux XI  1922-1939 - Fides Intrepida (fearless faith)

 

Pius XII 1939-1958 - Pastor Angelicus (the 1st of the Angelic Shepherds)

         In 1945, Pope Pius XII stated, "The world is on the verge of a frightful abyss...

Men  must prepare themselves for suffering such as mankind has never seen."

 

John XXIII 1958-1963 - Pastor and mariner; shepherd and sailor

 

Paul VI 1963-1978 - Flos Florum (Flower of flowers)

 

John Paul I 1978 - De Medietate Lunae (Of the half moon)  (born Albino Luciani, in

        Canale d'Ogardo, diocese of Belluno, (aka lovely moon) (John Paul I reigned for 34

        days from half a moon to the next half... before he died suddenly and mysteriously.) 

 

110th Pope - John Paul II 1978-2005  De Labore Solis (he was born during a solar eclipse

        May 18, 1920 and died near a partial solar eclipse on April 8, 2005; i.e., the pope of

        the eclipse; the labor, or eclipse, of the Sun; the true pope) - 

one version of St. Malachy omits De medietate Lunae (from half of the Moon). 

Pope John Paul II's funeral is to be held "during" the solar eclipse on April 8th!

De Gloria Olivae - From The Glory Of The Olive

The Lampholder Newsletter

April 19, 2005

 

Pope Benedict XVI stated, "Dear brothers and sisters, after the great Pope John Paul II, the cardinals have

elected me - a simple, humble worker in the vineyard of the Lord,” he said. “I entrust myself to your prayers."

 

"Moreover, as to this fruit of the olive, if the matter be examined,

you will find what it was.  The fruit of the olive signifies charity.

How do we prove this?  Just as oil is kept down by no liquid,

but bursting through all, bounds up and overtops them;

so likewise charity cot be pressed to the bottom, but

must of necessity show itself at the top."

[Augustine on The Gospel of John, Vol. I, pg. 68]

 

 

The Symbolic Meaning of

De Gloria Olivae - from the Glory of the Olive

 

This simple phrase may be difficult to understand with the intellect, but it takes on great depth and deep

spiritual meaning if understood in connection with Catholic eschatology...

 

An Olive doesn't come into its full Glory until it is laid down;

The Olive in its "glory" only comes when it is broken, pressed, and bleeds the oil of its fruit.

The Glory of the Olive, the Olive Leaf, is another symbol for the sacrificial lamb,

the lamb on the altar of sacrifice.

In following - if the Malachy prophecies, the Third Secret of Fatima, and Catholic eschatology prove true,

could Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, now

Pope Benedict XVI

(From The Order of St. Benedict, the Olivetans)

 be the sacrificial lamb who, as De Gloria Olivae,

sacrifices his life for the glory of God and the Catholic Church!

 

According to Malachy's prophecy time-line -

The 265th or 111th Pope (Malachy's list beginning with Pope Celestine II - 1146)

“De Gloria Olivae” From the Glory of the Olive **

 

"An olive signifies love and charity, because the olive tree signifies the celestial church, and

thence the olive, which is its fruit, signifies celestial love...this love is also signified by the oil...."

[Swedenborg, Apocalypse Revelation, 493].

Will it be his successor-elect prior to the final pope?

 

Only when the fruit of the OLIVE is pierced,

does the OIL come forth.

 

The Lampholder - A Strange, Prophetic Dream

 

 

(1)  It was a time-dated dream  from January 18, 2004, in two parts - one to be released at an appointed time and published on March 31st near the death of Pope John Paul II (April 2, 2005).    "This was a strange dream because of the symbolic meaning of "'something happening.'"  

 

(2)  The long lines in the dream brought to remembrance the people "shuffling" in a long procession down the street to view the body of the pope.  Pictures of the Vatican show the procession of millions lined up all the way down the Via della Conciliazione in Rome, the main boulevard to the Vatican.

 

(3)  The heads were hung down as if in mourning; depressed and sad; "They did not talk to one another, but stood almost motionless like store-window mannequins pushed along on a conveyor belt."

 

(4)  The three videos left - are the three popes to the end of the Catholic papal system and marking the end-times.  "When I came to the end of the line, there was a gate with a rope stretched from one side to the other.  When it was my turn to find a video, a sales associate stood off to the side-lines and held up a sign that said "only three left." 

(5)  GOD is speaking to the Catholic church.  The desire for the last three remaining videos could not be satisfied; the dissatisfaction in the soul was due to a Church looking for a leader and GOD speaking to the Church of His leadership.

     St Hildegard (d.1179) wrote about a day of destruction that will come upon the entire world - "A powerful wind will rise in the

North carrying heavy fog and the densest dust (darkness?) by divine command and it will fill their throats and eyes so they

will cease their savagery and be stricken with a great fear...Before the Comet comes, many nations, the good excepted, will be

scoured with want and famine. The great nation [the United States] in the ocean that is inhabited by people of different tribes

and descent by an earthquake, storm and tidal waves will be devastated.  It will be divided, and in great part be submerged...

The Comet by its tremendous pressure, will force much out of the ocean and flood many countries, causing much want and

many plagues.  All sea coast cities will be fearful and many of them will be destroyed by tidal waves, and most living creatures

will be killed and even those who escape will die from a horrible disease.  For in none of those cities does a person live

according to the laws of God."

 

Pope John Paul II and The Secret of Fatima

     "The Third Secret is apocalyptic and therefore corresponds to the eschatological texts of Sacred Scripture. This is what Cardinal

Ratzinger pointed out when he revealed that the Secret concerns the ‘novissimi’ – the ‘last things’ and corresponds to what is

revealed in Sacred Scripture.  Pope John Paul II, when asked about the Third Secret in Germany, stated that "we must be prepared

to undergo great trials in the not too distant future, trials that will require us to be ready to give up our lives..."1 Pope John Paul II,

as Karol Cardinal Wojtyla, elaborated this theme during a visit to the United States in 1976: "We are now standing in the face of

the greatest historical confrontation humanity has gone through. I do not think that wide circles of the American Society or

wide circles of the Christian Community realize this fully. We are now facing the final confrontation between the Church and

the anti-Church, of the Gospel versus the anti-Gospel.2 It is a trial which the Church must take up." 

     There were three parts to the Secret of Fatima. The first two parts have long ago been revealed.   These were concerning the

appearance of the Angel at Fatima in 1916 and the Vision of Hell which Our Lady showed the children in July 1917.  The third

part of the Secret has not yet been officially revealed as such.

     The following reported dialogue of Pope John Paul II concerning the famous Third Secret of Fatima, the secret that was

opened by Pope John XXIII in 1960 and which has not been fully and officially revealed by the Vatican, is very interesting.

     This Secret was revealed by Our Lady on July 13, 1917, to Lucia, Jacinta and Francisco. It was entrusted to Lucia to transmit

it to the Holy Father. This she did by means of a letter which was opened in 1960 as Our Lady indicated was to be done. It was

this secret that the children, on August 13, 1917, would not reveal to the Masonic mayor of Ourem - even after being imprisoned

and threatened with death. The children would rather die than disobey Our Lady in this matter.  But that it was to be eventually

made public seems to be Lucia´s understanding, because in the book by Father De Marchi, which Sister Lucia personally

approved of, the author indicated that the Secret would be revealed by the Holy Father. 

     Here is the confirmation, almost to the letter also, of the apocalyptic prophecy in the unofficial version of the ´Third Secret´

which for years has been in circulation without being denied:   ´ ... the waters of the ocean will become vapor, and the foam

will rise up overwhelming and drowning everything. Millions and millions of people will die hourly ...´)"  (6)

The Text of the Third Secret

(according to Vatican Web Site, July 26, 2000)
      “After the two parts which I have already explained, at the left of Our Lady and a little above, we saw an Angel with a flaming

sword in his left hand; flashing, it gave out flames that looked as though they would set the world on fire, but they died out in

contact with the splendor that Our Lady radiated towards him from her right hand: pointing to the earth with his right hand,

the Angel cried out in a  loud voice: ‘Penance, penance, penance!’ And we saw in an immense light that is God: ‘something

similar to how people appear in a mirror when they pass in front of it,’ a Bishop dressed in White ‘we had the impression that

it was the Holy Father.’ Other Bishops, Priests, men and women Religious going up a steep mountain, at the top of which

there was a big Cross of rough-hewn trunks as of a cork-tree with the bark; before reaching there the Holy Father passed

through a big city half in ruins and half trembling with halting step, afflicted with pain and sorrow, he prayed for the souls

of the corpses he met on his way; having reached the top of the mountain, on his knees at the foot of the big Cross he was

killed by a group of soldiers who fired bullets and arrows at him, and in the same way there died one after another the

other Bishops, Priests, men and women Religious, and various lay people of different ranks and positions. Beneath

the two arms of the Cross there were two Angels each with a crystal aspersorium in his hand, in which they gathered up the

blood of the Martyrs and with it sprinkled the souls that were making their way to God.”

 

(c) Lampholder Publications  2005

Job 33:14-18
"For God does speak -- now one way, now another -- though man may not perceive it.  In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falls on men as they slumber in their beds, he may speak in their ears and terrify them with warnings, to turn man from wrongdoing and keep him from pride, to preserve his soul from the pit, his life from perishing by the sword." --
