There he was delightfully surprised to find thousands of worshipers
impeccably and beautifully dressed and joyfully entering the church. He
was overwhelmed with the simplicity and comfortable design of the
church. It was built like a college campus, open, bright, airy, and
inviting, and unlike the other traditional churches that were dark and
eerie. There were smiling greeters at all the entrances welcoming the
worshipers to the church. He sat in the lobby and watched families
walking around, talking to each other as their children tagged along. He
felt at ease. For the first time, he felt at home and that this would be
his new home away from his broken home. The mass was wholesome and pure.
The pastors spoke of
God,
Jesus, and His love for His children of all kinds. He gave the broken
souls hope. He read and interpreted from the scriptures the goodness and
love
God
had for them all.
Rock knew this, too, was a part of
God’s
planned journey for him. This was the church
God
had spoken about in the “Book of Prelude!” He came back the next Sunday
when he couldn’t sleep or endure the pain of staying home without his
beloved wife. It was if
God
had directed him to go there. He went back there and offered to become a
volunteer. Something he had never thought he would ever do. He was
accepted by their open arms and invited to serve at once. He chose to be
a greeter and an usher as those had intrigued him the most from the
first time he encountered them all. He was assigned to a door with a
mentor, a lady with the biggest heart, and a big inviting smile. She
showed him how to greet, and he learned quickly and did well. Soon he
was the talk of the church and was given the nickname of “Rock” for
being a pleasant, trustworthy, and dependable man, as he was always
there to greet at the doors and help usher the worshipers to their
seats. He soon was assigned to the main entrance where most worshipers
came through. He was loved by all, as he loved them all the same.
A few weeks later, a sudden urge came over him to tell the church the
story of the revelation. He asked to meet and met with the head pastors
and shared his incredible revelation with them as it was to be. They
listen attentively but said nothing. He told them it was something he
needed to share as
God
had tasked him to do and wasn’t asking or seeking their approval or
their response. He said to them that he had decided to share the story
only to those who
God
will direct him to tell, and they were ones to be told. He felt a weight
was lifted off of his shoulders once the meeting had ended.
THE
PREDICTIONS THEY WERE TO BE
It should be noted for all to know that in the revelation of The Book of
Prelude, two predictions were to become through. One to be:
“A future Pope, who’s already been born and he is now living among them
in the village, will be pontificated as he shalt further reform the
church and bring about My commandments and My wishes, to make My house a
pure house! --
The Book of Prelude
He would come to reform the church as over time, the church had gone
astray in the dismay of all of the believers and nonbelievers the same.
But, the irony was that Pope Benedict XVI held the papacy, and for
nearly 2000 years, the Popes held the position from the election until
their death. That meant the prophecy had to wait, perhaps for many
years, as it was the protocol to wait until the current Pope was dead.
________________________
The resignation of
Pope Benedict XVI occurred on 28 February 2013, after having been
announced on the morning of 11 February 2013 directly by himself.
Benedict XVI's decision to
step down as leader of the
Catholic Church made him the first pope to relinquish the office
since
Gregory XII in 1415 (who did so in order to end the
Western Schism), the first to do so on his own initiative since
Celestine V in 1294, and the first after the Vatican ll.
The move was unexpected,
given that popes in the
modern era have held the position from election until death The Pope
stated that the reason for his decision was his declining health due to
old age.
The conclave to select his successor began on 12 March 2013 and
elected
Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio, Archbishop of Buenos Aires,
Argentina, who took the name of
Francis.
