Healing the Deadly Wound
By: David M. Curtis
A Beast is a Political
power, a kingdom. Prior to 538, the papacy was merely a church, however
starting in 538 it became a beast, i.e. THE beast. In other words it
became the religiopolitical power of Revelation 13.
In 1798 Bertheir took the pope captive, but this is not the total extent
of the deadly wound. During the dark ages the church seized the LAND of
all the "heretics" she burned. The Church in total owned hundreds of
square miles through out Europe. Napoleon stripped this land from the
Papacy, and had 17,000 priests and 11,000 nuns beheaded in France. For
more than a century to follow the Papacy was once again ONLY a religious
entity. It had no political power. The Beast = a political kingdom; was
dead. The Roman Catholic Church as a religion continued.
For many decades that would follow Rome was very upset about all this
LAND that was taken from her. This controversy was something called THE
ROMAN QUESTION. Although she herself had stolen this land through
persecution and bloodshed, and out right theft the church still felt it
was rightfully hers.
In 1929 Mussolini made a shift towards Catholicism. This was purely a
political move for him. He needed the support of the Church to have the
support of the people of Italy. Rome would not make peace with Mussolini
unless he did something about THE ROMAN QUESTION about the land she
owned in Italy during the dark ages. Mussolini felt he could not return
the land so instead he gave Rome 21 million dollars in gold, which in
those days is a lot more than it is today. So in essence he bought back
the land from the papacy.
That morning Pope Pius IX woke up the pastor of the largest church in
the world, and that night he went to bed a KING. The papacy was given
108 square acres now known as Vatican State Proper. The Vatican became a
sovereign nation. That morning The Roman Catholic system was merely a
church, and that night it was once again restored to being a FULL
POLITICAL POWER, it was once again a KINGDOM. The Beast was alive again.
For more than 130 years the beast as a political power was totally dead,
and now it was healed and alive to trample the earth under her feet once
more.
It is true that in In 1870 the Italian government took over the city of
Rome. But in 1929 Cardinal Gasparri met Premier Mussolini in the Lateran
Palace to sign the Treaty of the Vatican, returning political power to
the papacy.
Notice carefully how the quote begins with THE ROMAN QUESTION.
"The Roman question tonight was a thing of the past, and the Vatican was
at peace with Italy... In affixing the autographs to the memorable
document healing the wound of many years, extreme cordiality was
displayed on both sides" -The San Francisco Chronicle. Feb. 11, 1929
