And back on the idea of prophetic time:
As the world looks at the Vatican, do we know what to expect?
I would note something that I have encountered in my study. I have come across some interesting points relating to time (the Hour of His Judgment).
The Hour of His Judgment is come.
That is a point in time when the Judgment arrives as it was when Jesus said My hour is not yet come.
But an hour is also a specific length of time like 60-minutes
"There is a concept in Judaism called Sha’ah Zemanit:
“Proportional hour…Total daylight hours divided by 12. ”
http://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/134527/jewish/About-Zmanim.htm "Since a day with the Lord is as 1,000-years and 6,000-years are allotted for sin to run its course, the 1,000-years for Satan to be cast into the abyss parallels the Sabbath rest that he so despised. Thus the 7-days of creation foreshadow a 7,000-year limit until sin is completely eradicated. Based on a 1,000-year days composing the 7,000-year/week, how long would an hour be? Did Jesus not answer, “Are there not twelve hours in the day?” (John 11:9.)
"Can the length of the Hour of Judgment be calculated from the perspective of the Sha’ah Zemanit: 1,000-year day divided by 12-hours? Based on that math an hour can be 83-years and 4-months. That being true, when His Judgment Hour began on 22 October 1844 with the judgment of the dead, 83-years 4-months ended on 22 February 1928. Is it possible for the Judgment hour to have ended on 22 February 1928, then why did Jesus not come on that day?"
I suspect that the Judgment of the living is also for and hour. Since the Judgment of the dead began on 22 October 1844 (Yom Kippur) while the papacy was dead from its deadly wound, I wondered when the Judgment of the Living might begin? The SOP says in Ellen's day that we can't know that date for certainty.
But if after the Judgment of the dead continued for one prophetic hour of 83-years 4-months, and if the judgment of the living were to begin when the papacy was alive (recovered from its deadly wound in 1929) on Yom Kippur (14 October 1929) then the 83-years 4-month time frame would end 14 February 2013. YESTERDAY?
It is also interesting that the beast in Revelation 17 is allotted an hour for the ten kings to be with the papacy.
My study indicates that pope Pius XI received the healing of the deadly wound in 1929 and according to Jesuit boasting, the papacy was instrumental in getting Truman into the White House (May 2000 issue of The SPECTRUM Newspaper,
http://www.theforbiddenknowledge.com/hardtruth/blackpope.htm). Thus I understand that America beginning at Pope Pius XI and Truman was to bond with the papacy beast for one hour (83-years 4-months).
From Yom Kippur 14 October 1929 until Pope Benedict resigned (the papacy was alive) and it has been 83-years 4-months that ended yesterday. And if we count backwards 83-years 4-months from the day the pope's resignation becomes effective (28 February 2013) we come to 28 October 1929. On that day Pius XI who had received the healing of the deadly wound in 1929 elevated Pedro Segura y Sáenz to the college of Cardinals. Thus Segura was a participant in the election of Pius XII.
"Segura was created Cardinal-Priest of Santa Maria in Trastevere by Pope Pius in the consistory of 19 December the same year. As he could not attend the actual ceremony, he later received his red hat personally from Pius [XI] on 28 October 1929...Segura upheld the Church's teaching in the December 1864 Syllabus of Errors by Pope Pius IX ,
condemning separation of Church and state, especially opposing toleration of Protestants..."

Cardinal Segura condemned the separation of Church and state, especially opposing toleration of Protestants received his red cardinal hat on 28 October 1929 from Pius XI who reportedly was instrumental in putting Truman in the White House. And the ten American Presidents from Truman to Clinton bonded more and more with the papacy until the time arrived for the beast from the earth to arise with its 2 lamblike horns (Bush II and Obama) who take up the work where the papacy left off.
"When the Papacy, robbed of its strength, was forced to desist from persecution, John beheld a new power coming up to echo the dragon's voice, and carry forward the same cruel and blasphemous work. This power, the last that is to wage war against the church and the law of God is… the nation which it symbolized--the United States" (ST, February 8, 1910 par. 5).
