Exciting things are happening for God’s people, but the spiritual “info war” is now putting many well-intentioned believers in the greatest danger of refusing the wrong mark of the beast! On May 4, 2020—a date discerned (but not understood) by many who are attuned to the things of God—there was a great bombshell^[1] of a biography published of Pope Benedict XVI, wherein some eye-opening statements of “homophobic rhetoric”^[2] were made. This announcement by the “shadow” pope came exactly on the day of the heavenly sign of the angel standing in the sun:

And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice… (From Revelation 19:17)

The release of Benedict’s biography adds an earthly counterpart to this heavenly sign, which has already been explained in Time No Longer in relation to the two witnesses of Revelation 11. There, the sun and Mercury stood respectively for the faithful and true Witnesses (the Bridegroom, Jesus Christ, the Sun of Righteousness, and for His own messenger (represented by Mercury) as the second witness.

Here, however, we are dealing with the counterfeit gods of Babylon: the sun god—Satan himself—and another who goes behind him in the shadows. It is the diabolical scenario. The visual imagery of Mercury behind the sun was even verbalized unwittingly in news headlines such as this one:

Ex-pope’s shadow Vatican role in the spotlight

How do you put the “shadow” (i.e. Mercury) in the “spotlight”? It is simply the conjunction of the two, which happened on that very day, May 4, 2020:

Why is the publication of Benedict XVI’s biography so important, and why did God independently lead some to recognize and warn of this date, all apparently without any knowledge of the fulfilling of Revelation 19:17 and the associated heavenly sign? God must want to bring this to the attention of His people to recognize a great danger!

Two Popes

We are dealing with a conflict between two so-called “titans” (literally, gods) of the religious world, each of which represent one of the two impassioned sides of the church: liberal vs. conservative. That means this “row” between the two pontiffs has the potential to cause the New Great Schism all over again. This is something that even Pope Francis recognized as a possible outcome of his tactics.^[3] Thus, it is not difficult to understand how important this event is, especially to Catholics. However, there is a deadly mind-altering component in Pope Benedict’s message for Protestants as well—one that the news is already putting into the psyche of non-Catholics and Catholics alike. Some of the headlines state the matter plainly:

Ex-Pope Benedict Blames LGBTQ Acceptance on “Spiritual Power of the Antichrist”

That statement will strike you differently depending on your belief system. For the authors of WhiteCloudFarm.org, Benedict’s statement is exactly what we’ve been teaching at least since our publication entitled The Mark of the Beast. However, it is a little bit awkward to suddenly find ourselves in agreement with a pope on this particular topic, being that we have recognized the papal office as the seat of the Antichrist itself in agreement with what Martin Luther and other reformers already knew in their time!

If you are a Catholic, then we want to say what we have to say in the utmost love, understanding that as an individual you might be seeking God the best you know how, and He might still be leading you out of the confusion of false teachings. The same applies if you are homosexual and belong or are striving to belong to any of the Christian churches. Nevertheless, genuine love must also be firm and speak the truth in clear words, because anything less would be a hindrance to God’s work in your life,^[4] not to mention that time is now too short to hold back any truth that could help a person make the right decisions.

It is no secret that many Catholics recognize Pope Francis as an impostor, an antipope. This has deep implications in light of the present situation, which relates to the long-standing riddle of the seven kings of Revelation 17:10 and the “eighth” who is “of the seven.” Variations of the following sequence have been around at least since Benedict took the papacy:

This version comes from Satan Unmasked, our own prior studies of these verses and the prophecy of St. Malachy, known as the prophecy of the popes.^[5] At that time, we did not have the evidence to say that Benedict XVI would ever come back to play an important role, but now that he has, the riddle of Revelation 17:10–11 is answered with an even better solution.

And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space. And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition. (Revelation 17:10–11)

Simply omit the insignificant John Paul I, who was obviously deliberately replaced with John Paul II to perform the same work. That shifts Popes John Paul II, Benedict XVI, and Francis into the fifth, sixth and seventh positions, respectively, making it suddenly clear why the Bible specified that the seventh king continues only a “short space”—Pope Francis himself designated his reign as being only for a short time!^[6] Then, Benedict XVI returns as the eighth to reign over his half of the split kingdom, and it is clear how he was “of the seven” who had reigned before.

For Pope Benedict XVI’s faithful, he is the rightful heir to Peter’s chair. However, while there’s indeed truth to the antipope scenario, Pope Benedict XVI is still the head of the church that Revelation calls the Mother of Harlots,^[7] a name that refers to the “Mother” Church’s corrupt behaviors and false doctrines, which originate with her. Some of those behaviors have come to light in the times of both popes through sex-abuse allegations and investigations. Meanwhile, other errors have been known since the Catholic priest, Martin Luther saw the discrepancies between the Church’s teachings and what the Bible actually says and wanted to influence the church toward a correction of her wayward course. His unwelcomed “protesting” against the errors in the church ultimately resulted in the birth of Protestantism.

The point here is that although Pope Benedict XVI represents the conservative and thus apparently more godly sort among Catholics, he is still (by virtue of his papal office) a usurper of the throne of Christ, who is the sole Head of the Christian church (and not Peter).^[8] That is one example of false religion in the church, but the Catholic Church is not alone in her false teachings. One of the most common unbiblical teachings that is deeply ingrained in most so-called Protestant churches is the notion of worshiping God on Sunday instead of the seventh day of the week as written in the Ten Commandments.^[9] This is little different than the worship performed by Abel’s brother Cain, who brought an offering to the Lord that did not demonstrate appreciation for the sacrifice of the promised Savior (who even rested in the sleep of death on the seventh day of the week in harmony with the fourth commandment).^[10] Through one error or another, all the churches have fallen from truth.

Don’t Take the (True) Mark of the Beast

Jesus calls His people out of such falsehood^[11] to worship God in truth, and the time to take such a stand is quickly running out. Those who do not come out of Great Babylon (including both the Catholic mother and Protestant daughter churches) will share Babylon’s fate. It is NOT true that staying with such a church can guarantee salvation, but it IS true that staying means receiving her plagues!

To emphasize, this is about all of the churches—Catholic and Protestant—because they have all united with Pope Francis to exert a common “moral” influence in the world—particularly in the political world. This has involved a certain compromise and subjection to state laws, because it’s a two-way street: if the churches want to have a say in the political arena, then they had better be willing to abide by state mandates—and that includes LGBT acceptance.

It is on this point that the Protestant churches have especially fallen, and this is where Pope Benedict’s statement gets dangerous for Protestants. He is pointing the finger not primarily at his co-pope who repeatedly emphasized that all his “reforms” do nothing to change the Church’s doctrine,^[12] but at Protestants who have received the world’s norms on LGBT acceptance and swallowed it—hook, line, and sinker. According to Pope Benedict, they are under the spiritual power of the Antichrist!—but what’s even more dangerous is that it’s actually true, even though the accusation comes from the seat of the Antichrist itself! This is enough to make Luther turn over in his grave.

How many Protestants will dismiss the notion that LGBT tolerance is the mark of the beast simply because it comes from the pope’s mouth? Meanwhile, multitudes are happy to believe that the mark of the beast is a chip or nanobot delivered in a vaccine—something that Jesus is able to protect Christians against, as He indicated in the Great Commission:

They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. (Mark 16:18)

Of course a person should be prudent and avoid what is avoidable to the maximum extent permissible by God, but if the authorities leave no choice, it’s better to take the death sentence with a clear conscience than to put bullets through the chests of the authorities, as some actually advocate, and thus break the sixth commandment, “Thou shalt not kill.”

And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. (Matthew 10:28)

There is no sin imputed to a person if the doctor force-vaccinates him, but if he willingly accepts LGBT tolerance, the loving One who will not permit abomination forever will have no choice but to include him in the general destruction. Do you see how deadly Pope Benedict’s game is, by uttering a truth from a platform of falsehood? That is even more dangerous to the soul than receiving an injection of the feared COVID-19 vaccine, against which a person may receive God’s antibodies.

Many believe that the “included nanobots” would be mind-altering without understanding that their minds have already been altered by Pope Francis’ “Who am I?” statement and the echo of it from the pulpits of their Protestant leaders who prepared guidelines on homosexuality to welcome the “smokers” into their “non-smoking clubs.”

God does not leave His people to face these temptations without counsel.^[13] He has given great warnings with His clock, accompanied by signs in heaven and on earth. This has been done out of love for you and me—and the homosexuals. He wants you to understand His clock—not just to have the confidence that He is in control, but to understand the events that are taking place around you, so you won’t be misled into following a deception or falling into a counterproductive course of action that could forfeit this life and eternity.

The Clock Speaks

The handwriting on the wall was presented in Shelter in the Time of Storm, concluding with the sentence upon Babylon uttered on April 27, 2020, with the words: “thy kingdom is [to be] divided.”

On the clock, that date can be seen as belonging to the dried out “Euphrates river” of the throne lines, which is a prominent biblical symbol in the sixth trumpet and the sixth plague of Revelation that gives us a context for understanding what is taking place right now, in the present hour of the clock moving counterclockwise to the Bellatrix point.

The judgment has already been pronounced, as others have also discerned. Rhonda Empson, for example, also testified to this in what she described as a revelation especially directly from God that she received immediately after the sun-Mercury heavenly sign and the release of Pope Benedict XVI’s biography, where she specifically emphasized that the calamitous happening of that day is of the Lord and that the sentence has already been issued. There will be no lighter sentence than what has been pronounced.

The sixth plague prophecy, which is closely related to the seventh plague, sheds a lot of light on how the last great battle of Armageddon is taking shape. Not only does it describe the drying of the Euphrates that corresponds to the sentence spoken against Babylon (a literal drying for literal, ancient Babylon, and a symbolic drying for the spiritual Babylon of our day) and its subsequent fall, but it also explains some important dynamics. In particular, it identifies the three constituent parts that are later said to be divided:

And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. (Revelation 16:13)

These three parts—the dragon, the beast, and the false prophet—can be understood in a number of ways. Without meaning to undo other valid interpretations, we can generally understand these three parts as the three major players in the global religious order: the dragon stands for the papacy, including paganism and all forms of witchcraft and false religion, which still has a “mouth” (or mouthpiece) in Pope Benedict XVI. Likewise, the beast—hearkening back to the first beast of Revelation 13, to whom the dragon gave power—has Pope Francis as its mouthpiece, as well as the boss of the whole conglomerate beast. The third part is correctly understood as apostate Protestantism, whose mouthpiece might be any Protestant church leader who is vocal on the world scene. Benedict’s voice is already loud and clear, as of May 4, 2020, but we still need to keep listening in the coming time to clearly disambiguate the other two frog-like voices to understand how their part of the prophecy unfolds in due time.

These three unclean “spirits” (i.e. spiritual/religious messages) come from the mouths of the three constituent parts of Babylon, but they are by implication NOT those parts themselves. Furthermore, the next verse clarifies to whom these messages go forth, and what their goal is:

For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty. (Revelation 16:14)

These unclean messages from the religious Babylonian mouthpieces go forth primarily to the kings of the earth, i.e. the leaders of nations, because they hold the executive power that is able to enforce the dictates of those spiritual leaders. The nations are the persecuting powers, and when they speak, e.g. through the UN Secretary Antonio Guterres, his words echo what his boss, Pope Francis, says, as well as what the other mouths say. This aspect of the prophecy could also be seen in recent news coverage, as the United Nations (i.e. the kings of the earth and of the whole world) spoke on the executive implications of what the Benedictine “frog” has said:

UN chief says pandemic is unleashing a ‘tsunami of hate’

While the (united) nations’ response to supposed hate is being strengthened by the coronavirus crisis, Pope Benedict XVI is drawing the gunfire—or hatefire—to those (like him) who are speaking against LGBT tolerance. In this way, he’s actually working together with his rival Pope Francis against those commandment-keeping people of God who have NOT compromised on the seventh commandment. This is what the battle of Armageddon is all about: it is a battle against the souls of those who want to obey God, no matter the cost.

Evidence is Mounting

As Pope Benedict’s message begins to divide the church, we are beginning to see the execution of the divine sentence upon Babylon. Evidence is mounting that all things concerning the closing cycle of God’s clock are indeed coming to pass, and this last countdown to the end of this world will not be prolonged any more. Watch out for the next point on the clock, marked by Bellatrix (picture below)! That is the line of the first fissure of Babylon that will return it to its constituent parts:

And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath. (Revelation 16:19)

This is the third step in the fulfillment of the seventh (and closing) plague. As explained in prior articles, the first step happened at the Rigel point on the clock with the plague in the air (coronavirus). Then the pronouncement of the judgment, “it is done,” was made as the second step, sealing the fate of Babylon, even accompanied by the heavenly voice of an FRB (fast radio burst) in our own galaxy on April 28, 2020—exactly in the middle of the throne lines. This voice even appears to come from the mouth of the eagle constellation, Aquila, which is in harmony with the meaning of the Rigel segment on the clock (which stands for the eagle among the four faces of the four beasts of Revelation).

This astronomical wonder was even cited as having to do with the solving of a mystery,^[14] which alludes to the seventh and closing trumpet that also began to sound at that time, in parallel with the still-unfolding seventh plague. These topics have been covered already in previous publications, but just now that the time has come, the signs can be seen.

Unfortunately, however, these less-than-obvious happenings are not readily noticed or accepted by many people as sufficient evidence for the divine origin of the messages from God, from the divine clocks in Orion and the Mazzaroth. As this material was being finalized for publication, breaking news reported an earthquake centered in the Vatican, causing plaster to fall off the walls!^[15] Mere coincidence?

Those who do see and accept these things need a measure of faith to do so, and that is why Jesus asks, “Will I find faith?”^[16] In other words, will you believe before it is proven beyond doubt and too late to exercise faith?

That point is coming soon on May 20, 2020. Then the fracture will open, that Benedict has lodged his biographical wedge into. Calling for an investigation into the “real reason” for his retirement^[17] signals that a church split is imminent, and when it begins to happen, the mounting evidence for God’s judgments will be hard to ignore.

If you just look at the segments of the clock like the slices of a pie chart showing the relative constituencies of the Babylonian world religious power, you can even estimate visually what is going on. The first division occurs, as we already see in the news, between conservative Catholics and the rest of the (liberal) Christian world, including Catholics and non-Catholics alike:

Thus, it appears that the first pie slice (A) corresponds to the dragon whose spokesman is Pope Benedict XVI, who was the first to make his divisive voice heard through the publication of his biography on May 4, 2020, which will manifest its power of division on May 20, 2020.

The second division, coming June 22, 2020, will further break apart the beast and false prophet constituents, so that the religious Babylonian kingdom will be divided into three parts.

Who are the spokesmen for the other two parts (B and C)? The conflict between liberal and conservative Catholics suggests that the second slice (B) should correspond to the beast, for which Pope Francis himself speaks, but for the Protestant constituent (C), it is not so clear cut. The political leader, Donald Trump, answers to all the Protestant churches collectively, as seen on May 7, 2020, the National Day of Prayer.^[18] But who, as an individual, speaks for those churches?

If one has seen the president of the Seventh-day Adventist Church speaking these days,^[19] one might recognize him as the mouthpiece. His church, after all, is the second “catholic” church (according to his father who also once served as its president) and it is beyond obvious to those familiar with it, that he runs it according to the pattern provided by the Vatican. It was an Adventist video, after all, that spoke on behalf of the whole world (!) to marshal people against the coronavirus—the same message now repeated by the churches on the National Day of Prayer. Whoever the third “frog” turns out to be, it will surely become clear in due time, just as Benedict’s divisive message made the first line of division clear in the segment of time before the cut.

Amidst all these happenings that are connected to the sixth plague, God spoke a pertinent blessing for those who were judged worthy of eternal life. It is recorded as follows:

Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame. (Revelation 16:15)

This relates to the judgment that concluded with the pronouncement upon Babylon, mentioned earlier, even confirmed by others. Encapsulated in this blessing are several ideas; the reference to Jesus’ coming as a thief refers back to the counsel to the church of Sardis regarding time. Blessed are those who have a clock, so they can watch for the time of His appearing. This is the blessing for the present hour until the evidence mounts, and it is to help make matters clear to understand so people can keep the garments of righteousness by faith demonstrated through obedience to God’s law, and not be exposed in shame for the LGBT sexuality that has permeated the churches.

This is how the church of Philadelphia is kept from falling in this hour. In a tangible sense, the two witnesses, whose 1260 days of preaching in sackcloth (starting from the grand opening of WhiteCloudFarm.org) ended on May 4, 2020, might be said to have suffered a prophetic death in worldly terms, without a jarring earth-shaking event at the throne line tick of the clock. However, this was according to the foreknowledge of God; it is written that the two witnesses had to be overcome just before the conclusion of their prophesying, and so it was.^[20]

However, the release of Benedict’s biography changes all that. Despite the “silent” judgment by Jesus’ “It is done” on April 27-29, 2020, it is becoming increasingly clear how Babylon will be divided, prior to its great downfall. Three and a half days after midnight of April 29/30, when nothing earth-shaking had happened, the Italian article appeared at Vatican noon on May 3,^[21] exploding the bomb that was then echoed into all the world by May 4. This is how life entered the two witnesses again and how they stood on their feet to write this article after everything had become clear. The two witnesses have come alive again, and soon they will ascend in the cloud as the evidence continues to mount. Aren’t we climbing up the Mount of Evidence in the clock of God to its summit between the Bellatrix and the Betelgeuse points?

The prophecy of the two witnesses from the sixth trumpet is fitting here, because the sixth trumpet is also connected to the Euphrates which is dried out in the sixth plague. All these prophecies are connected together in a beautiful way that space and time do not permit us to fully expound in these pages. Suffice it to say that the hour, day, month, and year of the sixth trumpet pointed to the left throne lines of December 19–22, 2019, as we’ve written about in The Mystery Finished – Part II.

Picking up at that point on the left throne lines of December 19–22, 2019 in the thunder cycle, the sixth thunder began, and with it the diversion of the antitypical Euphrates, as described in the sixth plague text. Then the clock had to tick while the river drained, till time reached the other throne lines of April 27–29, 2020 and the river was dry enough to cross. Having just crossed it, the Medes and the Persians^[22] received the kingdom of Rome that was once apparently undivided—the Medes under Pope Benedict, and the Persians under Pope Francis. What will happen on May 20, when the “Medes” and the “Persians” finally separate?

All this delay beginning with the sixth trumpet had to do with the great “holds” that were needed in order to seal God’s servants, as described in Revelation 7. This has also been expounded elsewhere, but the point to be made in this context is that the delay coincided with the Iran nuclear deal, which curtailed Iran’s ability to defend itself with nuclear weapons. Now, on May 4, 2020, Israel relates that Iran is finally backing out of Syria,^[23] which will clear the way for more direct conflict with Iran. The four winds are combining with each passing outer star in the last Orion cycle, picking up speed until sudden destruction plunges the world into full-scale war. Will you show faith before the evidence mounts and the truth becomes self-evident?

The Blessings

The division of Babylon is indeed good news for the people of God, because Jesus explained the inevitable end of a divided kingdom:

And if a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. (Mark 3:24)

From the election of the Antichrist on March 13, 2013, plus 1290 days and 1335 days, we come to exactly the day of May 20 when the global religious system begins to fracture, just as Daniel prophesied long ago:

And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days. Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days. (Daniel 12:11–12)

Then a certain wait is over—especially the hour of temptation during which one must keep his garments and watch the clock. The evidence of Babylon’s fall will have mounted, and the loud cry goes out with power.

Anyone who still doesn’t believe by the time that division is made plain—at the Bellatrix and Betelgeuse points—will be justifiably cursed to suffer her plagues in the most acute way, in the hour of her fall, beginning September 7, 2020, only to experience the great hail after God’s people are raptured, and then to finally pine away in an utterly and literally Godforsaken world.

It will be much better for those who will chew and digest the counsel of these pages and the products of the years of biblical research that is provided on the associated website, to see the real, tangible fulfillment of their faith.

But there is no reason to wait! For the “trophy fish” that were caught in the net that was ordered by our Lord, there is enough evidence as of May 4, 2020 to get on board. Delaying only makes it more difficult, and you don’t want to miss the disciples’ last fishing excursion with the Lord. This is the last chance!

Jesus saith unto them, Bring of the fish which ye have now caught. Simon Peter went up, and drew the net to land full of great fishes, an hundred and fifty and three: and for all there were so many, yet was not the net broken. Jesus saith unto them, Come and dine. And none of the disciples durst ask him, Who art thou? knowing that it was the Lord. (John 21:10–12)

As the Lord does, He tucks away valuable information in biblical numbers, and as we’ve seen before, there is a special gem in that last story of the Gospel of John. Although fish represent souls in the harvest, the number of the fish also indicates a duration of time, being portions of food. How many times have we wondered what this special harvest number means!

Taking one day per fish and counting from the throne line date of April 29, 2020, one can’t help but reach the last Day of Atonement of September 28, 2020. The harvesting cannot in any manner go beyond that date, by virtue of its very meaning. Nevertheless, the good fruits who have been harvested must continue until they are brought into the barn.

If one counts from May 4, 2020, one arrives at October 3, 2020—the double High Sabbath before Jesus’ coming, when the saints will be finally delivered forever from their enemies, but even this glorious moment is not the end of the story.

Similarly, counting from the date of this publication, May 12, when this spiritual meal was provided to you, and counting 153 more days comes to “October 12, 2020”—the eve of the marriage supper of the Lamb! That night, as all the portions of spiritual food run out,^[24] the saints will partake of the fruit of the heavenly Canaan, together with their Lord, who will serve them (!) in an unspeakably generous act of love that truly reflects the heart from which it flows—the heart of Jesus, who spared nothing to cleanse us from all sin.

And if one counts 153 days from May 20, 2020, once the evidence has mounted, one comes to one more special date of “October 19, 2020,” which is the anniversary of the sacrifice of Philadelphia, which provided time for the final harvest. Four times the count of 153 days ties the hour of temptation with the end of the hour of Babylon and the reward for God’s people. In four voices, the Orion clock and the Mazzaroth (which determines the feast days) simultaneously speak of both ends of the harvest!

What a blessing it will be, on May 20, 2020, for all those who receive and believe God’s word and accept His loving invitation. Yes, they will have a sacrifice to make, but heaven will provide for them and sustain them. How fitting that those who honored marriage as God designed it, keeping the seventh commandment, not falling to the temptation of taking the mark of the beast, will partake of the marriage supper with their Savior.

And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God. (Revelation 19:9)
