Prophecy Truths -- Comments on St. Malachy's prophecy of the list of popes
 
  Next Pope will be THE 2nd to LAST POPE:
 
  Excerpt:
 ".....The present pope (1911) is truly a burning fire of zeal for the restoration of all things in Christ.
 The latter of these prophecies concerns the end of the world as is as follows, " In the final persecution of the Holy Roman Church there will reign Peter the Roman, who will feed his flock amid many tribulations, after which the seven-hilled city will be destroyed and the dreadful Judge will judge the people. The End." It has been noticed concerning Petrus Romanus, who according to St. Malachy's list is to be the last pope, that the prophecy does not say that no popes shall intervene between him and his predecessor designated Gloria Olivae . It merely says he is to be the last, so that we may suppose as many popes as please before " Peter The Roman". Corneius a Lapide refers to this prophecy in his commentary " On the Gospel of St. John " and "On the Apocalypse" and he endeavors to calculate according to it the remaining years of time.
 So Ends the Treatise

According to St Malachy's list, Pope John Paul II is the third to the last pope. He is referred to as "ab labore solis", from the labor of the sun. Therefore, the remaining popes are:
 
 

ab labore solis (current Pope, John Paul II)<<<<Died April 1, 2005!
gloria olivae (second to last pope)
petrus romanus (Peter the Roman would be the last pope)

The interesting thing is this. I have heard from rumor that one French Bishop or Cardinal that is likely to be considered as next pope is from Jewish descent. If that is the case, and if he is elected, he would fit into Gloria Olivae perfectly. Look at Paul's Letter to the Romans, Chapter 11:17-24. Paul describes God's possessors of the Covenant, Abraham's descendants, as a cultivated olive tree. Gentile Christians are the wild olive branch from a wild olive tree, that has been grafted onto the original cultivated olive tree. Neither one, either Jew or Gentile, is considered better than the other, since Paul says neither group supports the roots. Regardless, if the Holy Father passes away and this French Cardinal or Bishop begins his reign, then I believe we must look twice at St. Malachy's prophecies.
