1942 Pius XII 20 Centesimi Vatican Coin - Reverse
1942 Pius XII 20 Centesimi Vatican Coin - Obverse
The pope says, ‘I am, and there is no other,’ fulfilling the prophecy revealed in Revelation 18 that the Antichrist’s organization will claim.
In Revelation chapter 18, in the middle of the judgment pronounced against the same harlot of Revelation 17:1, comes a great revelation of who the Antichrist is. The 20 Centesimi Vatican coin, above, depicts the Catholic church as a queen sitting on her throne. This is the exact wording against the Antichrist’s organization found in Revelation 18.
Revelation 18:7 NKJ
7. "In the measure that she glorified herself and lived luxuriously, in the same measure give her torment and sorrow; for she says in her heart, `I sit as queen, and am no widow, and will not see sorrow.'”
Notice the harlot’s quote, ‘I sit as queen, and am no widow, and will not see sorrow.' This quote is from Isaiah 47:7 and 8.
Isaiah 47:7-8 NIV
7. You said, ‘I will continue forever-- the eternal queen!' But you did not consider these things or reflect on what might happen.
8. "Now then, listen, you wanton creature, lounging in your security and saying to yourself, ‘I am, and there is none besides me. I will never be a widow or suffer the loss of children.'”
First, we notice that the Antichrist’s organization, that is described in Revelation 18:7-8, is a queen. This is a very important idea we need to understand about the Antichrist’s organization. When the pope or Catholic church depicts itself on a throne, she depicts herself as a queen, not a king. But, she claims not to be just any queen, she claims to be the ‘eternal queen,’ exactly as Isaiah 47:7 says.
This queen, described in Isaiah 47, is identified as claiming that she is the ‘eternal queen’ that will ‘continue forever.’ The Catholic church does make this claim about herself.
The Catholic church exalts Mary, the mother of Jesus, also as an eternal queen exalted in heaven. The Catholic church sees herself as Mary exalted as the eternal queen.
The statement that ‘I am, and there is none besides me,’ quoted from Isaiah 47:8, was spoken from the mouth of the current pope himself in fulfilling the prophecy about his organization. Isaiah spoke these things about the Antichrist’s organization so that when the specific Antichrist’s organization began revealing itself in the Last Days, we would recognize it quickly and accurately.
I give you part of the article from Reuters and Associated Press news wire that contains a quote from Pope Benedict on July 9, 2007 from Italy:
“Pope: Other Christians not true churches”
“Pope Benedict XVI reasserted the primacy of the Roman Catholic Church, approving a document released Tuesday that says other Christian communities are either defective or not true churches and Catholicism provides the only true path to salvation.
“The new document — formulated as five questions and answers — restates key sections of a 2000 text the pope wrote when he was prefect of the congregation, "Dominus Iesus," which riled Protestant and other Christian denominations because it said they were not true churches but merely ecclesial communities and therefore did not have the "means of salvation."
““Christ 'established here on earth' only one church,” said the document released as the pope vacations at a villa in Lorenzago di Cadore, in Italy's Dolomite mountains.
The other communities "cannot be called 'churches' in the proper sense" because they do not have apostolic succession — the ability to trace their bishops back to Christ's original apostles — and therefore their priestly ordinations are not valid, it said.”
What a fulfillment of Isaiah 47:8! The pope essentially says, `I am, and there is none besides me.’ Also, by the pope stating these things, he also sees himself as a judge. He falsely believes he judges in the place of God. We see that the Catholic pope depicts the queen as being a judge as well on the 20 Centesimi coin.
1942 Pius XII 20 Centesimi
The popes throughout history have always taken this stance against God’s true Church... that we are not true Churches. Contrary to the pope’s belief, it is his churches that are not real churches.
The popes piously sit on thrones, they believe, in place of Christ and God to rule this earth. That is the lie of it all. The pride of the popes will bring their own downfall. God condemns them as a harlot and judges them in Revelation chapter 18.
The judgment they receive is exactly what they gave out to others... blood (Revelation 16:4-6)... for shedding the blood of the saints in the Last Days as well as throughout history. They will also be burned with fire (Revelation 18:8) because the popes are responsible for burning at the stake countless millions of Christians.
I have documented just a part of this murdering of the saints the popes have done throughout history on my web site under the topic of St. Bartholomew’s Day Massacre. Don’t miss that lesson, as it comes from John Foxe’s book, Foxe’s Book of Martyrs, a man who declared the testimonies of true saints of God being martyred through the popes, Catholic church and those influenced by them.
The Antichrist, again, will shed the blood of saints in the Last Days as prophesied in Revelation 6:9, 11:1-12, and 12:11. But, they will also be judged for doing these terrible things against God’s people. God always has the last say and the last judgment.
