His child, saying that I'm going to be lost because I refuse to believe your opinion is not productive.
kland,
You add greatly to what I did say.
You have compared Rev 13 with Rev 17.
That is truth
You have said the popes are heads.
This is a conclusion that alters
the facts.
I did show from
the Scripture, Revelation 13 (which I did not write) that it states that one
of the beast's "heads" received a deadly wound.
I did show from
the Spirit
of Prophecy (which I did not write) that it states that pope Pius VI who fulfilled
the prophecy was
the one who received a deadly wound.
You have said the head who received the deadly wound is pope Pius VI.
Though I showed you
the link between
the prophet John
and the explanation from
the Servant
of the Lord, Ellen White, you persist in making it appear as though it is something I manufactured.
By explaining away such a simple thread in prophetic truth you set aside a thus saith
the Lord by making it appear as though it were something that I invented rather than being
the result
of sound Bible study in conjunction with
the Spirit
of Prophecy.
If you honestly cannot see it,
the Holy Spirit is able to bring you to understanding that which is truth.
Rev 13 says the beast has 7 heads.
One head receives the deadly wound.
Question: Which of the 7 do you say received the deadly wound?
When
the papacy finished its 1260
-years that counterfeited Christ's 3.5
-years
of Ministry Pope Pius (VI) received
the deadly wound. Thus
the papacy also counterfeited Christ's Friday death, Sabbath rest in
the grave
and Sunday resurrection.
In 1798, Pius was taken captive
and died in his captivity (counterfeiting Friday). In 1799, there was no pope (counterfeiting Sabbath).
And in 1800, a new pope was elected (counterfeiting
the Sunday resurrection).
Notice that
the pope elected in 1800 took
the name PIUS which was
the same name as
the pope that received
the deadly wound.
Likewise when
the beast in Revelation 13 had its deadly wound healed by Mussolini, he signed
the Lateran Treaty with
the Vatican while Pope PIUS (XI) was ruling.
Thus
the head that was wounded
and healed was
the head named PIUS though it was not
the same man.
Revelation 13:3 "
And <2532> I saw <1492> (5627)
one <3391> of his <846> heads <2776> as it were <5613> wounded <4969> (5772) to <1519> death <2288>;
and <2532> his <846> deadly <2288> wound <4127> was healed <2323> (5681):
and <2532> all <3650>
the world <1093> wondered <2296> (5681) (5625) <2296> (5656) after <3694> <1722>
the beast <2342>."

1) only one, someone
Pope PIUS who had been
the pope/king
of the papal church received a deadly wound that was in place until Pope PIUS received
the healing
of the deadly wound.
And that wound remained healed from 1929 through 2013:
the prophetic hour specified in
the prophecy
of Revelation 17. During that hour
the papacy had only one pope at a time. Now that
the hour is up, there are two living popes
and soon to be a third according to Revelation 16 (Revelation repeats
and expands
and explains).
And as Revelation supplements
the book
of Daniel: when Babylon fell it had 2
kings: Nabonidus
and Belshazzar. Then in Babylon's final moments, it had a third ruler added:
Daniel.
The papacy (spiritual Babylon is in its final moments, Satan impersonating John
-Paul II (one
of the 7 that is to be
the 8th) will appear. Then there will be John
-Paul II (
the dragon) Pope Francis I (
the beast) & Pope Benedict (
the false prophet)
I hope that helps
