President Bush arrived at the Vatican this morning to a welcome from Pope Benedict XVI so unusually cordial that it gave rise to speculation in the Italian press that Mr Bush might convert to Catholicism.

… A communique issued by the Vatican said that Mr Bush and the Pope discussed US-European relations, the Middle East and peace efforts in the Holy Land, and globalisation and the world food crisis.

…In another unusual gesture the Vatican distributed to journalists a minute-by-minute programme with a cover photograph of St John’s Tower and the Vatican gardens, to underline the exceptional nature of the visit. Mr Bush arrived in a convoy of some 50 vehicles, accompanied by his wife Laura and Mrs Glendon.

The Vatican said that the Pope simply wanted to show his appreciation for the hospitality he was shown on a recent visit to the US. However Marco Politi, the veteran Vatican correspondent of La Repubblica, said that Mr Bush’s unstinting admiration for the Pope had given rise to talk of the President’s possible conversion, by analogy with Tony Blair. Mr Bush is a Methodist and a “born again” evangelical Christian. (source)

Revelation 13:1-10 (New King James Version)

1 Then I stood on the sand of the sea. And I saw a beast rising up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and on his horns ten crowns, and on his heads a blasphemous name. 2 Now the beast which I saw was like a leopard, his feet were like the feet of a bear, and his mouth like the mouth of a lion. The dragon gave him his power, his throne, and great authority. 3 And I saw one of his heads as if it had been mortally wounded, and his deadly wound was healed. And all the world marveled and followed the beast. 4 So they worshiped the dragon who gave authority to the beast; and they worshiped the beast, saying, “Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war with him?” 5 And he was given a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies, and he was given authority to continue for forty-two months. 6 Then he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme His name, His tabernacle, and those who dwell in heaven. 7 It was granted to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them. And authority was given him over every tribe, tongue, and nation. 8 All who dwell on the earth will worship him, whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. 9 If anyone has an ear, let him hear. 10 He who leads into captivity shall go into captivity; he who kills with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.

Isaiah 26:20-21; 27:1

Take Refuge From The Coming Judgment

20. Come, my people, enter your chambers, and shut your doors behind you; hide yourself, as it were, for a little moment, until the indignation is past. For behold, the LORD comes out of HIS place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity; the earth will also disclose her blood, and will no more cover her slain.

1. In that day the LORD with HIS severe sword, great and strong, will punish Leviathan the fleeing serpent, Leviathan that twisted serpent; and HE will slay the reptile that is in the sea.

Matthew 24:32-36

32. “Now learn this parable from the fig tree: When its branches has already become tender and puts forth leaves, you know that summer is near. 33. “So you also, when you see all these things, know that it is near, at the very doors. 34. “Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all these things are fulfilled. 35. “Heaven and earth will pass away, but MY words will by no means pass away. 36. “But of that day and hour no one knows, no, not even the angels of heaven, but MY FATHER only.”

Trust in GOD ALMIGHTY for HE has put all things under Christ Jesus’ feet, and everything is in HIS hands and HIS hands alone. When they persecute you and curse, give praises to GOD for HE glorifies HIMSELF in overcoming your enemies. Keep praying and hold fast to HE alone who is faithful and true — Christ Jesus, King of Kings and LORD of lords. Amen and Hallelujah. The children of GOD must pray for mercy and that HE keep us from hurt, harm or danger.
