The Papacy and Temporal Power
One of the Vatican organs suggests that the pope should migrate from Rome to Jerusalem, and out of the $20,000,000 saved by successive popes should buy from the sultan of Turkey such a large extent of territory as would insure the recognition of the Papacy as a temporal power. The feverish activity in Catholic circles to have the pope restored to his temporal power is one of the most significant things of these times. The same prophecy that tells of the Papacy receiving its “deadly wound” also tells that “his deadly wound was healed,” and, furthermore, that “all the world wondered after the beast.” It is well for us to keep a close eye on these doings of the Papacy, for they are in a most strikingly clear manner fulfilling prophecy.
