"The countdown to the end continues"

     So when the world didn't end last December I believe that there was a collective sigh of relief all around the globe. It was like a force that stopped the Armaggedon clock from ticking down to the end times. So it was with growing concern that people watched their televisions screen as the Vatican announced that the current Pope would be stepping down on Feb 28 2013.

 

      As of this time there is still talk about how the Pope had suddenly resigned from his post last Feb 28 2013. People all around the world are speaking about certain Pope candidates and there are those who are interested if he would turned out to be the prophecized Peter The Roman who will lead the Catholic Church during these hard times. He is said to usher the end times.

 

     There was a Irish who was canonized as St. Malachi who saw a vision of 112 Popes who would lead to the end times. This is known worldwide as the Prophecy of the Popes. Though its legitimacy is being questioned by the Catholic Church itself there was no denying that the latter popes where clearly described on the publication dating back to 1595.

 

     I would be greatly relieved if the new Pope will not even be distinctly Roman so that this whole mess can be avoided. Of course since the genetic pool of the world is already so mixed up even someone as far away at the Philippines can have Roman blood and not know about which makes everyone of the candidates a possible Roman. So either way the world is screwed.

 

     It seems like the clock to the apocalypse has started once again (or from some peoples point never stopped at all) and in my mind I can hear a thin hand that ticks down the seconds until we are all gone. Nobody knows how the End will start but it will be with Peter the Roman. And here I was thinking that there was still enough time for my plans to come into fruition. Oh well...it is actually the time to make the most of life and just basically go ahead with the plans that we have made. Believe in what you believe and let others believe in what they believe in as well. If the end does come...well it just has.
