2008-04-16/25: Flies Warning

This is the modern prophetic replay of the warning to Pharaoh about the soon arrival plague of flies.

Fulfillment date can be anywhere in the 10 days ahead of April 25, 2008. The text is imprecise because of the term "early morning" in establishing the date.

The following report gives the theoretical details for the text and timing.

Fulfillment

The Pope’s visit to the United States, April 15 through 20, 2008, is the fulfillment headline.

Pope Benedict XVI came at the invitation of UN General Secretary Ban Ki-Moon who had visited Benedict at the Vatican on April 18, 2007. That visit was in part a fulfillment of the Aaron-Moses meeting and tied closely to the Virginia Tech Shooting. The supporting text for that event indicated that Aaron was on the way to visit Moses. With the invite issued on April 18, 2008, Aaron indeed has been on the way for almost exactly 1 year.

Comments

The Pope arrived in the United States at around 4:00 PM on Tuesday, April 15, 2008. He remained through Sunday evening, April 20, 2008, with departure around 9:00 PM. The media were reporting this as a 6 day visit, but measured on the East Coast of the United States this was a 7 day visit. His departure well after sunset on Sunday evening placed him into Biblical Monday and fulfilled an entire week in the United States.

Many of the plague related texts mention Aaron, and it has been a curiosity about why there has not been an Aaron active in the headlines. Instead of seeing the Pope traveling on each and every plague, what we find here is instead one grand visit, a trip called "Christ our Hope," timed in such a way that every public appearance folds across the time line to the all of the 2008 plague related headline dates, as well as the first prophetic date in 2009.

This trip helped to solidify the identification of the Pope, as prophetic Aaron. The Pope is the standing "high priest" in Rome, and a world-wide recognized voice for Christianity. His uncanny timing, as well as documented matches in content to the plague related narratives clearly identify him as prophetic, end-times, Aaron.

Originally the entire trip was viewed as a singular fulfillment for the prophetic story related to warning Pharaoh for the soon arriving plague of hail. The trip does function at that level. But, as the trip unfolded it became clear that every public event on the Pope’s itinerary was significant to the prophetic dates that involve the United States across the year 2008.

In total there were 12 public functions during the Pope’s visit, several of which involved more than one public venue.

In the middle of the week, on the evening of April 16, 2008, there was an "inflection" between 2 of the bands on the time line charts. Before that exact time, each day had been prophetic for dates in the past while after that time each day became prophetic for dates in the future. With a trip timed to cross the inflection the early public events were prophetically matched to past events while public events in the latter part of the trip were prophetically matched to future events. This spanning of both past and future time is consistent with many prophetic time lines in the Bible and provides confirmation at the time of the visit as to the structure of his entire prophetic work.

The exact timing of the trip, to the hour, caused the public events in his trip to match prophetic events from January of 2008 through early January of 2009.

Interested readers can study the exact event timing, see the timing in a graphical form, and see how each maps to various dates in 2008 by looking carefully at pages 724 and 725 on the Bible Time Charts.

The Pope’s 3rd public event, see below, was a lengthy visit to the National Shrine, on the evening of April 16, 2008. This event was essentially at the inflection point. The events of that evening fold most closely to a summarizing prophetic event for the entire trip.

The Pope’s itinerary includes a couple of additional dates thrown in, which will probably make more sense as headlines unfold across the rest of 2008.

April 2008 Visit to United States: Christ our Hope

The following report shows how the general structure of the Pope’s visit folds through to dates and events across 2008. This is a textual presentation of dates found on the time line charts.

All times given on the rest of this page are US Eastern. Many events lasted several hours, some as many as 8 hours, so there is wide tolerance in the fulfillment matches. Matched dates given here are derived from the Plague series of dates that land in 2008 and 2009.

Links to relevant videos are included for readers wishing to learn how prophetic stories fulfill in actual headlines. This particular series is one of the best documented events on the entire time line. 2 different video sources covered nearly all of the Papal visit.

The USCCB (The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops) paid for online videos to be made of the entire public visit. There is an extensive online index to those videos, from which the links given below have been selected.

EWTN also provides videos of nearly the entire visit.

Public Event #1: Arrival

Pope’s US Travel Event	Matched Prophetic Date
Arrival at Andrews AFB 4:00 PM April 15, 2008 Landing at Andrews AFB outside Washington DC, after 8 and 1/2 hour flight from Rome aboard a special Alitalia flight, Shepherd One. Links USCCB Video/Arrival at Andrews	Bush Travels to Mideast, Israel Mid January, 2008 There is no associated Plague related headline for January of 2008. This date is within the time of the first plague. Bush’s trip is itself a map to the First Persian Gulf War.

The 8+ hour flight time from Rome to Andrews Air Force Base prophetically spans most of the month of January, 2008, so the prophetic match time is quite wide.

In mid January, 2008, President Bush made his first trip to Israel, as well as several other stops in the Middle east as part of a replay of the events of the first Persian Gulf War. His trip was also a general replay of the 6th crusade.

The Pope’s visit is itself a match to Bush’s own travel in January of 2008. This explains the very odd feature of the arrival ceremony when Bush himself met the Pope at the bottom of the stairs as the Pope came out of the plane. Bush was traveling in both cases.

Public Event #2: White House Visit

Pope’s US Travel Event	Matched Prophetic Date
Pope Benedict at the White House. 10:00 AM, April 16, 2008 12,000 invited guests gathered on the south lawn with the Pope and the US President. After giving speeches, the 2 held a private 45 minute visit in the Oval Office. Links (BBC Report) USCCB Video/White House	Plague of Frogs March 10, 2008 Plague of Frogs, where Eliot Spitzer was forced to resign through an FBI leak regarding his involvement in a prostitution ring. Links Report on the Plague of Frogs

The oddest feature of their time in public was US President Bush’s speech. In the speech he kept putting words into the Pope’s mouth. He also gave the Pope a collection of Christian audio CDs, another match to mouth, the main aspect of frogs from the associated plague.

The FBI leak was most likely approved by the White House, in a successful attempt to silence New York Governor Eliot Spitzer (spitter, frog) because Spitzer was working to expose Bush’s involvement in the mortgage scandal. In his visit to Bush, the Pope is fingering him in that event.

This public event, like the arrival, is pointing at events in the past.

Public Event #3: National Shrine Visit

Pope’s US Travel Event

Matched Prophetic Date

Visits USCCB Workers. 5:00 PM, April 16, 2008 Visits US Catholic Bishops. 5:30-6:30 PM, April 16, 2008 The Pope visited the National Shrine, and briefly met with the employees of the USCCB who had done the work of planning and preparing the entire visit. This was in the main sanctuary. He then went to a smaller chapel, put on an evening prayer service, and then addressed the assembled US Catholic Bishops and then answered questions. 3 Questions: Dealing with Secularism at this moment in history. People Leaving the Church. Young Men called to the Priesthood. All 3 questions involved a sense of "this moment in history" and had that same sense in the answers.

Plague of Gnats April 10, 2008 Aaron Visits... April 16, 2008 The Pope’s visit to the Bishops was replaying his own trip to the United States. This is the meeting at the inflection point of the trip. Links Plague of Gnats report.

There are various places across the rest of the charts where weekends cause fulfillment headlines to shift by a day or so. In this case the inflection time, and thus theoretical prophetic time for this event, is around midnight. The meetings were held a few hours early as is customary on the charts.

April 2008 included 2 plague related prophetic dates. The first was the Plague of Gnats when air travel around the United States was disrupted over inspection of wiring harnesses in wheel wells. This was a prophetic event where the FAA administration was shown to not care about the average airline traveler.

The Pope’s prophetic replay of that FAA flight grounding event was the first part of his visit to the National Shrine, where USCCB employees turned out to greet the Pope.

What happened at this time instead was the Bishops were more concerned with their appearance to Benedict than they were with the people in their care. Instead of allowing the Pope to formally address the people from the USCCB offices who had arranged his visit, Bishop showed off the impressive structure that is the National Shrine.

Contrast this with the United Nations where the Pope addressed the UN employees directly in the main hall.

Inflection Related Issues at the National Shrine

The second part of the evening meeting was 3 different events dealing with the assembled US Bishops. This meeting was on the inflection in the time line, and was the Pope’s replay of his own trip to the United States.

He remains bishop, he is the Bishop of Rome, (and he remains a cardinal) while at the same time holding the office of Pope. This is how he was addressing his friends the Bishops.

First part of the meeting was the evening prayer service that all priests committed to performing every day when they were ordained.

The second part of the meeting was a prepared speech to the Bishops over issues that face the Catholic Church in the United States today.

The 3rd part of the meeting was the reading, and answering of 3 questions that had been prepared in advance for this audience.

Those questions dealt with current issues facing the US Catholic Church, and his answers included terms like "this moment in history." These are terms typical of inflections since the meeting itself is matching the historical context for the visit itself.

Goshen Separation: The matched prophetic text for this date is given at the top of this page. This is one of the plagues where Yahvah makes a distinction between the average Egyptian and His people. This aspect of separation is seen in this meeting with the Bishops. The men assembled there were only Church men, no one else, besides perhaps camera men, was invited.

Public Event #4: Mass At National Stadium

The prophetic significance of this Mass is that Pharaoh says that it is OK to sacrifice, but to do so inside the land, or inside the nation. The venue for this Mass was at National Stadium.

Various commentators made issue with various political figures from the Federal Government who were in attendance and received communion, but who refuse to hold pro-life positions. This includes John Kerry, and Nancy Pelosi. People like this may be the source, cause or victims of, the plague of flies in May of 2008.

His cutting off the evening may matter to the prophetic significance of this skipped date.

Other time line stories, besides the plague series, may inform the prophetic date. At present that story is unknown.

Public Event #6: Long Visit to United Nations

Links Bridegroom of Blood report.

The meetings themselves fulfill an invitation and acceptance given to the Pope by Ban Ki-Moon when he visited shortly after the VT shooting in April of 2007.

This is Aaron’s meeting with Pharaoh, and a result of earlier prophetic passages.

Public Event #7: Jewish Passover and Ecumenical Meetings

Pope’s US Travel Event	Matched Prophetic Date

Links Flies Continues report.

This is also the opening date for the Beijing Olympics, which the world will be watching. Plagues are often the "top of the news" headline events. Already several world leaders have declined attendance at the opening ceremonies because of issues in Tibet.

The Jewish faith, symbolized by the Park East Synagog visit is not far theologically from Christianity... Compared, to say, Hinduism. Without Judaism there would be no Christianity.

The town of Yorkville is near New York, sharing similar name, and the Ecumenical service was also with Christian believers who are not far from Catholics in faith.

These 2 visits and events map well to this stage in the plague dates, go, but don’t go far.

Public Event #8: Mass At St. Patrick’s Cathedral

Then it moves to a warning to Pharaoh that Yahvah makes a distinction between his people and that of the Egyptians, and will make a distinction in the cattle. Links End of Flies report.

There were 3000 church workers in attendance at St. Patrick’s Cathedral in New York City. The general public was not invited. This was the second time in the trip where the pope visited with church employees only. This time it was done better, with a formal Mass and a specific message to those in attendance.

The Pope’s message focused on the idea of being "inside" the church, as one is inside a Cathedral. The windows, for example, cannot be seen in their intended beauty from the outside, but only from the inside. The complexity of the Church is seen on the inside. And the structure is only seen from the inside and points to God.

This particular meeting emphasized the servants of God that were set apart and assembled in Goshen. (Perhaps a play to the fictional Gotham, another name for New York City, the location of St. Patrick’s.) That separation is the key theme in the text related to this plague.

Public Event #9: Youth Rally in Yonkers

There was a major gift presentation of grains and breads representing the primary grains from around the world. The meeting took place in an open field that had been prepared for the event.

This is a strong match to the venue, an open field, and to the gift presentation, the harvests of the grain from around the earth.

Note the students attending had been at that venue since 1:00 PM, and one of the performers at the earlier concert had been the original American Idol.

The related plague date is a very short reference to land, so the prophetic event that the Pope hosted was a long reference to fruit of the land.

Ominously, food prices have been rising around the world, and headlines in October, 2008, near the end of the harvest in North America, may be related.

Links Plague of Hail report.

The Pope’s homily included references to how we are living stones, to the house built of those stones. The decorations included a large set of banners in the Yankee’s infield that were done in yellow and white. The Yankees had granted use of the stadium if the grass was not touched.

The Pope, in his visit to Yankee Stadium, was careful to stay off the grass, ie out of the field, and thus avoided the plague himself. Use of the stadium had been conditioned on keeping clear of the grass.

The banner pattern and colors (the Pope’s flag’s colors of yellow and white) in the infield of the baseball diamond is probably symbolic of the fire and ice of the associated plague of hail and fire.

Note that the timing uses the 8 hour flight in order to cross the January prophetic date. Links End of Hail report

The Pope departed from New York City on a helicopter, a device many people believe to be the modern prophetic equivalent of locusts.

The sun set over New York city as he was taking off from Manhattan. This may have significance in the way that this prophetic date matches a date in the next calendar year. Measured on the Biblical definition of day-breaks the Pope was in the United States 7 days.

The Pope traveled home aboard an Alitalia plane, and importantly not a plane based in the United States. Normal procedure for previous international travel by the Pope is that an airline from the visited country returns the Pope to the Vatican. This may have some bearing on the Locust Plague in early 2009.
