ABC news reported the following:

"The crowd screamed, cheered and waved flags Tuesday as Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger of Germany, elected the new pope, made his first balcony appearance and addressed the faithful as "dear brothers and sisters."

Soon after Pope Benedict XVI began speaking, the crowd fell silent for a moment, listening. Some wept in joy. Then the crowd began chanting again: "Viva il Papa!" "Long live the pope!...

Tens of thousands of people rushed toward an already packed St. Peter's Square when the announcement came that a new pope had been selected. Some broke into a run....

As the minutes ticked by the uncertainly grew, and at 5:55 p.m. Amy Turnipseed, 21, from California, said: "It looks really white, but I'm not sure."

There was a brief flutter when the bells rang at 6 p.m., but the cheers died down when they stopped ringing. Minutes later, they began in earnest and the crowd erupted....

Elsewhere in Rome, people started heading toward Vatican City from all directions, many of them running to try to catch a glimpse of the new pope as he made a balcony appearance."

The 78-year-old Ratzinger told cheering crowds in St. Peter's Square as he made his first appearance: "After the great Pope John Paul II, the cardinals have elected me, a simple, humble worker in the Lord's vineyard."

(Reuters) "He will attend a private Mass with cardinals in the Vatican's magnificent Sistine Chapel on Wednesday morning at 9 a.m. (3 a.m. EDT)."

 

Compare the election of this Pope as king and priest of all Roman Catholics to that of Jesus Christ on the exact anniversary to the very hour of when He, too, was heralded as king (Head)---Jesus in Jerusalem, the Pope in Rome---each entering their magnificent temple.

"And they bring the colt unto Jesus, and cast on him their garments; and he sat upon him. And many spread their garments upon the way; and others branches, which they had cut from the fields. And they that went before, and they that followed, cried, Hosanna; Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord: Blessed is the kingdom that cometh, the kingdom of our father David: Hosanna in the highest. And he entered into Jerusalem, into the temple; and when he had looked round about upon all things, it being now eventide, he went out unto Bethany with the twelve." (Mark 11:7-11) 

"Now in the morning, when he was returning to the city...when He entered the temple..." (Jesus then cleanses the temple, Matt. 21:18a, 23.)

 

1.) Why did the election of the new Pope occur on the very day and hour of the anniversary that Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a donkey, when He was heralded as king and then entered the Temple to cleanse it? 

God is identifying this new Pope as one that has received a scepter (staff) that rightfully belongs to Jesus Christ alone. He alone deserves the praise and adoration. He alone is King and Head of the Church. And He will again cleanse His temple! (Details)

2.) How is it significant that the Day of Atonement was exactly 3.5 years earlier (1300 days)?

Jesus cleansed the temple 3.5 years after He began his ministry, which likely began on the Day of Atonement, (AD 26-30). (The Day of Atonement was when the temple and all things were cleansed by blood). This day, in a way, also marked the jubilee year. (See bible numbers site: 30 x 49 years [490 x 3] from the first "Day of Atonement"---held in 1445 BC---in partial fulfillment of Daniel, etc.) 

From the Day of Atonement in (Sept.) 2001 until now are 1300 days, (3.5 years). "1300" is the number of curse, and 1300 days also happens to be an exact 3.5 years on the Jewish calendar at this time! Daniel 9:24-27 also refers to "the abomination that causes desolation" as lasting 3.5 years, and that passage also infers the Day of Atonement and of the cleansing of the temple. Thus it is fitting that the abomination that causes desolation, spoken of by the prophet Daniel, should likewise occur on either the Day of Atonement (Tishri 10), or on the evening of Nisan 10 (Abib), which is the same day the scepter passed to the new Pope. For one should expect the false to copy the true, and the antichrist the Christ. (Interestingly, the new Pope is 78 year old; = 6 x 13 = 'man' under 'curse'.) (Details)

3.) How does this agree with the other precise numeric regarding Pope John Paul's death?

There were 1300 days (3.5 years) from the fall of the Twin Towers (a type of the fall of Babylon "in one hour," as per Revelation 17) unto the Popes death. This identifies the Roman Church with "Mystery Babylon" of Rev 17. And the 1300 days (3.5 years) from the Day of Atonement to the election of the so-called "Vicar of Christ" identifies the Papacy with the false prophet of Rome, (Revelation 13:11), and of the "abomination that causes desolation"---"one standing in the holy place," (Matt. 24:15). (I do not say that it identifies the present pope as specifically the false prophet of Revelation 13:11---but simply as a false prophet like that one to come.) (Details)

4.) What is significant about the day of his election being 1150 x 3 years (Daniel 8) to the very day when Israel chose for itself the Passover lamb that was slain 4 days later on Passover evening?

Jesus was that Passover lamb selected and tested 4 days till the Passover, (Nisan/Abib 10-14). This is why he rode into Jerusalem on this day and then was tested, tempted and tried of men 4 days till his death as the Lamb of God. Before the scepter comes the cross. As said in other documents, the number 1150 days or years comes from Daniel 8, where it describes the cleansing of the temple after Antiochus Epiphanes (168-165 BC) (a foreshadow of anti-Christ) polluted the temple by the said "abomination that causes desolation," (Daniel 8:13-14). Antiochus had set Himself up as king---a false Messiah. Thus the number 1150 is again connected to the theme of 'the cleansing of the temple' from an 'abomination,' and of the 'enthronement of a king', (Daniel 8:11, 25). (Details)

5.) How does this fit in with the Lion of Judah Picture Bible Code, as He bears the scepter/cross? 

As the bible code itself tells us...The Pope illustrates for us how that the scepter is once again passing to one whom it does not belong, (Genesis 49). However, the Lord God Almighty assures His elect that it belongs to Christ alone, and that one day His rule in heaven will extend on earth from sea to sea. The catholic staff/cross you see in this image reads, "The staff of Edom (and Moab) is among them!" But his star will soon fall. (Details)

6.) Does the 360-calendar of the prophets tell us anything? 

It places this day, April 19, 2005, as 1150 x 3 years from 'the middle of the week of the covenant' of Mt. Sinai, (Ex. 24:16). (See "the middle of the week" of the "covenant" of Daniel 9:24-27 as mentioned earlier.) (On the 360 calendar, April 19, 2005 equals "3rd month, evening of 8th day.") Hence, the interpretation is consistent---the breaking of the covenant in the middle of the week of seven days or years---here we have both. (I.e., 3.5 days and years.) (Details)

7.) Why is he a German?

Germany is leader of the emerging revived Roman Empire (European Economic Community). This fits well into the prophecies from Daniel and Revelation on this subject. God provokes thought by associating this Pope to that little antichrist, Adolph Hitler. The association lay more between the office of the Pope to Adolph Hitler than it is to the new Pope personally. The connection to Germany is just another indication of what God thinks, as spoken by Jesus around the same time as the Triumphant Entry: "Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers." 

(Matt. 23:27-39) "Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which outwardly appear beautiful, but inwardly are full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness. Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but inwardly ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity. Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye build the sepulchres of the prophets, and garnish the tombs of the righteous, and say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we should not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets. Wherefore ye witness to yourselves, that ye are sons of them that slew the prophets. Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers.

Ye serpents, ye offspring of vipers, how shall ye escape the judgment of hell? Therefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: some of them shall ye kill and crucify; and some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute from city to city: that upon you may come all the righteous blood shed on the earth, from the blood of Abel the righteous unto the blood of Zachariah son of Barachiah, whom ye slew between the sanctuary and the altar. Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation.

O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, that killeth the prophets, and stoneth them that are sent unto her! how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not! Behold, your house is left unto you desolate. For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord."

There is coming a day that smoke will indeed rise over Rome, but it will not signal another Pope! It will foretell this, that, "The kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ. And He shall reign forever and ever!" The Lord Jesus Christ will take what rightfully is His---the Shepherds staff. Jesus is the Head of the Church. On that day the city on seven hills will go up in smoke, for great is the Lord God Almighty who judges her, (Revelation 13-20). The blood she spilled will be required of her, and the cup she lifted will be poured out upon her. And the black smoke of her torment rises forever, for never again will there be a pope. For there is one Holy Father, and He is God---the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. (Details)

8.) Is it significant that he receives his official seal at his inauguration on the first day of Passover---the anniversary of when they left Egypt 1150 x 3 years ago?

A Signet and a Staff!

At the inaugural mass on Sunday, April 24, 2005, Pope Benedict will receive the insignia of his office, including the Fisherman's Ring used by popes to seal apostolic letters. Benedict will receive a ring made with the image of Peter, whom Roman Catholics regard as the church's first pope. It will be given amidst great pomp and ceremony with 140 international leaders and 36 heads of state invited, along with half-a-million spectators---and watched by way of television by all the world. It happens that April 24, 2005 is Nisan (Abib) 15th, which is the first day of Passover week. It is also the anniversary of when Israel left Egypt in 1446 BC---exactly 1150 x 3 years ago. This very day is also 1260 + 1260 years from the Passover referred to in the book of Ezra, in 516 BC, after they completed rebuilding Solomon's temple that had been destroyed by the Babylonians. (Details) (Also see, Zerubabbel's signet ring.)

The numeric identifies the Pope as one that holds 1.1 billion souls in bondage while the temple of the Lord lies in ruins. But the final exodus of the Lord draws nigh---and He shall revive His people---the temple---and shall deliver both houses of Israel, but each in their time. The day is coming when the abomination that causes desolation will be removed and the Lord Himself will sit and take His signet ring---to whom it belongs---and usher in His reign of everlasting peace and righteousness. Seals will be opened by the Lion of the Tribe of Judah---the Passover Lamb! (Revelation 5-6.) (Jesus entered Jerusalem at the Triumphal entry as the lion/king of Judah, on Nisan 10, and Jesus died in Jerusalem on Passover as the Lamb/priest of Levi, on Nisan 14/15. Jesus was from the lineage of Judah and perhaps Levi as well since Mary was related to John the Baptist---a Levite. In any case, Jesus was king and high priest "after the order of Melchizedek," (Heb. 5:10). The picture bible code of the Lion of Judah also brings this out. The Pope is simply mirroring these things.)  (Details)

 

9.) Is it significant that the hand bible code was published in its entirety on the internet on Tishri 10 and 15th, 2001, exactly 3½-years before the Pope's election and inauguration?

The hand-bible code was first discovered on Pentecost, 2000, and published in its entirety, as said, on the Day of Atonement (Tishri 10) and Tabernacles (Tishri 15), 2001. Pope Benedicts election and inauguration occurred on these very same two days exactly 3½ years later  (1300 days). (We have already pointed out that the death of Pope John Paul was 3½ years after the fall of the Twin Towers in New York.)

This is not the first time that God has pointed out with His hand who is Babylon and who is "the one being put to death." There was a series of events 3½-years after the day when the mene-tekel bible code and the hand code was first discovered that marked their partial fulfillment then. Now this three-and-a-half-year pattern has been repeated again as a second witness. This time the 3½ years starts from the time that the hand code was published on the internet until Pope John Paul's death, and of the election and inauguration of the new pope. 

The hand-bible code was put on the internet Tishri 10 and 15th, 2001. Tishri 15 was 3 weeks after the fall of the Twin Towers on Sept. 11, 2001, which was the beginning of the fulfillment of this great encoded prophecy. Three weeks after Sept. 11, 2001, was, as said, Tishri 15, which is the first day of the feast of Tabernacles. Tishri 15, 2001 was Oct. 2, 2001 on our solar calendar. This is important because 3½-years later on our regular calendar was April 2, 2005, which was the day that Pope John Paul died. Hence, Tishri 15, 2001, when the hand-code was published on the internet, was 3½-years on our normal solar calendar until the death of Pope John Paul, but also 3½-years on the Jewish calendar to the inauguration of his successor!

But this three-and-a-half-year pattern doesn't stop there since the middle of Passover 2005 is when the leader of Russia visited Jerusalem on a supposed peace mission. This event also relates to the hand bible code. (Click here for that discussion.) Hence, in this application, the bible code speaks of two things: The papacy of Rome and the coming Russian invasion of Israel. These two things are more related than first meets the eye. What doesn't make complete sense now will become clearer as the prophecy races towards its ultimate fulfillment.

The following is the mene-tekel bible code and the hand bible code and the events 3½-years later that partially fulfilled their prophecies. Below this is part of the hand-bible code in particular, put on the internet Tishri 10 and 15th, 2001.

(Note: codes, of course, are not on par with the bible, and I certainly do not claim divine inspiration as bible prophets did. The bible codes simply reinforce the bible, and never the other way around.)

Daniel 9:24 "Seven times seventy years (490) is the length of time God has set for freeing your people and your holy city from sin and evil. Sin will be forgiven (i.e., Atonement) and eternal justice established, so that the vision and the prophecy will come true, and the holy Temple will be rededicated.

Dan 9:25 Note this and understand it: From the time the command is given to rebuild Jerusalem until God's chosen leader comes, seven times seven years will pass. Jerusalem will be rebuilt with streets and strong defenses, and will stand for seven times sixty-two years, but this will be a time of troubles.

Dan 9:26 And at the end of that time God's chosen leader will be killed unjustly. The city and the Temple will be destroyed by the invading army of a powerful ruler. The end will come like a flood, bringing the war and destruction which God has prepared.

Dan 9:27 That ruler will have a firm agreement with many people for seven years, and when half this time is past, he will put an end to sacrifices and offerings. The Awful Horror will be placed on the highest point of the Temple and will remain there until the one who put it there meets the end which God has prepared for him." (Lit. "middle of the week.") (GNB)
