B-16's 2015 Warning

 The Hungarian author (Vladimir Palko) of a book sub-titled "Why Europe and America Are Heading for a New Tyranny" was interviewed about a letter he received from Benedict XVI.

The letter was written in 2015, after B-16's resignation, and was a thank-you note for the book which the author sent to him.

What did Benedict have to say?

...The letter is not long, it has twelve lines. In the second half of the letter there is a sentence, about three lines long, in which the Pope Emeritus makes some striking claims.

The sentence reads as follows: "We see how the power of the Antichrist is expanding, and we can only pray that the Lord will give us strong shepherds who will defend his church in this hour of need from the power of evil."...

Benedict was known to be extremely careful about his choice of words.  While one can interpret his words in a number of ways, they are not lighthearted.

It is prudent and necessary to remember these words from Matthew, Mark, and Luke:

 Matthew 24:23

At that time, if anyone says to you, 'Look, here is the Christ!' or 'There He is!' do not believe it.

Mark 13:21
At that time if anyone says to you, 'Look, here is the Christ!' or 'There He is!' do not believe it.

Luke 17:21
Nor will people say, 'Look, here it is,' or 'There it is.' For you see, the kingdom of God is in your midst."

Luke 21:8
Jesus answered, "See to it that you are not deceived. For many will come in My name, claiming, 'I am He,' and, 'The time is near.' Do not follow them.

It is not by accident that ALL the Synoptics have that passage, and it is imperative that you remember it in these times.
