Hello John and Doves,

 

This is interesting news coming out of the Vatican.

 

The Pope has declared a Jubilee year  - a Jubilee of Hope - this Catholic jubilee is similar to the Jewish 50 year Jubilee.  But it's for the whole world.  The Pope's jubilee comes every 25 years.  And he will be unsealing and opening five 'holy' doors on Christmas Eve, December 24.  The 'unsealing' of the doors reminded me of Jesus coming in through the 'sealed' Eastern Gate at His Second Coming.  The Pope is hoping to 'usher in memorable years for the Church' by opening five sacred portals.

 

When I read of 'portals and the Vatican' I think of gateways to something evil - doorways to Hell; the door to the abyss....and this door opening ceremony starts on December 24 - the eve of Christmas, the eve of Chanukah and Haggai's 24th day of the 9th month - a possible day for the Gog and Magog war.

 

And to top this off, the Vatican's nativity this Christmas had baby Jesus lying on a keffyeh - the traditional Palestinian scarf.  Talk about outrage from Christians!  Always trying to get something evil slipped in...hoping people are ready for it....

 

The Five Holy Doors of the 2025 Jubilee of Hope:

 

This article is dated August 2, 2024:

 

"The Dicastery for Evangelization issued a note on Thursday reaffirming that the Holy Doors of the 2025 Jubilee of Hope in Rome will be located at the four papal basilicas as well as at a prison.  (The doors are always to the same four basilicas but the prison door is new to Pope Francis.  This tradition was started in 1423.)  The Jubilee of Hope will take place from Dec. 24, 2024 - Christmas Eve - to Jan. 6, 2026, the feast of the Epiphany.:

 

"The Holy Doors will be located at the Basilica of St. Peter, the Archbasilica of St. John Lateran, the Basilica of St. Mary Major and the Basilica of St. Paul Outside the Walls,  A fifth door will also be located at a prison, the name of which has not yet been announced."

 

"The first Holy Door will be opened by Pope Francis at St. Peter's Basilica on Christmas Eve this year to usher in the beginning of the Jubilee Year worldwide.  This door will be the last one to be closed on the feast of the Epiphany in 2026, marking the end of the holy year."

 

On Dec. 29, Pope Francis will open the second Holy door at the Archbasilica of St. John Lateran - during the feast of the Holy Family of Jesus, Mary and Joseph.

 

On Jan. 1, Pope Francis will open the third Holy door at the Basilica of St. Mary Major - during the solemnity of Mary, Mother of God.

 

On Jan 5, Pope Francis will open the fourth Holy door at the Basilica of St. Paul Outside the Walls.

 

These three basilicas will all be closed on Dec 28, 2025.  The date or prison for the opening and closing of the fifth Holy door has not been announced.

 

"The upcoming holy year will be the 28th Jubilee celebration in the Catholic Church and comes 10 year after Pope Francis opened the extraordinary Jubilee Year of Mercy in 2015."

This is most interesting because the "door at St. Peter's was sealed shut by a wall of bricks since the Jubilee Year of Divine Mercy in 2016 and on Dec. 2, that wall was ripped down to ready the door for opening as part of the rite of 'recognition'.
Pope Francis to open 5 sacred portals on Christmas Eve -- for a ritual that’s never been done before

 

The NYPost article is dated Dec 9, 2024 - this article noted that Pope Francis will open a "symbolic door inside the Roman prison Rebibbia on Dec. 26, the Feast of Stephen."  This is the fifth Holy door on the list.

 

The Eastern Gate or Golden Gate or Gate of Mercy in Jerusalem:

 

The door to St. Peter's Basilica being sealed off with bricks reminded me of the Eastern Gate in the wall that surrounds the Old City of Jerusalem - also called the Golden Gate or in Hebrew, Sha'ar Harachamimi - "Gate of Mercy."  Note the last time St. Peter's door was sealed was during the Jubilee Year of Divine Mercy.  The Eastern Gate, that faces the Mount of Olives, has been sealed shut since 1541.  Suleiman, the Ottoman Sultan, had it sealed.  "Jewish literature details that when the Messiah (the promised delivered of the Jewish nation as prophesied in the Jewish bible) arrives, He will enter Jerusalem through the Eastern Gate."  This is the gate that Christians believe Jesus entered on Palm Sunday - His Triumphal Entrance.  This gate faces the Mount of Olives and Jesus descended from the Mount of Olives on His way to Jerusalem riding on a donkey.

 

The Eastern Gate In Islam:

 

"For Muslims, the gate is referred to as Bab al-Dhahabi or Bab al-Zahabi (meaning Golden Gate or sometimes referred to as the Gate of Eternal Life).  Muslims also place religious significance at this location, as some believe that this is the site of Allah's final judgment and the site of the future resurrection."

 

History of the Eastern Gate:

 

As for the sealing of Eastern Gate - In 810 is was closed by the Muslims.  The Crusaders reopened it in 1102.  Then Saladin defeated the Crusaders in 1187 and gained control of Jerusalem.  He resealed the gate.  Then Sulieman had a 'final sealing shut' in 1541 because he knew that the Jewish Messiah was to enter the city of Jerusalem through this gate, and he wanted to prevent this from happening.
The Story Behind Jerusalem's Sealed Golden Gate

 

Ezekiel 44:1 - 3:  "Then He brought me back to the outer gate of the sanctuary which faces toward the east, but it was shut.  And the Lord said to me, "This gate shall be shut; it shall not be opened, and no man shall enter by it, because the Lord God of Israel has entered by it; therefore it shall be shut.  As for the prince, because he is the prince, he may sit in it to eat bread before the Lord; he shall enter by way of the vestibule of the gateway, and go out the same way."  

 

"Since Jesus, the God of Israel, had already entered through the gate (Palm Sunday), it will remain shut until Jesus the King returns."
The Eastern Gate – Israel My Glory

 

"The Muslim cemetery of Bab- Al-Rahma adjoins the eastern wall of the Old City...The Golden Gate was blocked during the 8th Century CE.  It is likely that burial in the area began a short while later.  Today there are graves adjoining the entire eastern wall of the old city , and the cemetery is used by Muslim East Jerusalmites to this day."

The Rapture and The Open Door:

 

The Rapture has been traditionally represented by an 'open door'.  "Doors hold great significance in the Bible, representing various spiritual and symbolic meanings...Throughout the scriptures, doors are often mentioned as gateways to new opportunities, blessings, and encounters with God."  God, Himself, closed the door to Noah's ark.  Jesus said He is the door (John 10:9) - the gateway to eternal life.  Jesus tells the Laodicea church that He stands at the door and knocks." 

 

Doors in the Bible "convey profound messages about faith, opportunity, protection and salvation."

 

"Doors serve as passageways...and symbolize new beginnings, transformations and encounters with God."  "...doors can signify leaving behind old patterns, sins and bondage (like the blood of the lambs on the doorposts)

 

"Doors also represent opportunities for growth, blessings, and divine favor."  As in The Revelation, Jesus says 'He sets before us an open door that no man can shut' (Rev 3:8)

 

"Doors can also represent opportunities for divine revelation and encounters with God."

The Catholic Jubilee Year 2025:

 

Pope Francis established "Sunday, December 29, 2024, in all the Cathedrals and Co-Cathedrals, the diocesan Bishops celebrate the Eucharist as solemn opening of the Jubilee year, according to the Ritual that will be prepared for the occasion....The ordinary Jubilee will end with the closing of the Holy Door of the Papal Basilica of Saint Peter in the Vatican on January 6, 2026, Epiphany of the Lord."

"This upcoming Holy Year, announced by Pope Francis with the theme "Pilgrims of Hope" will mark the first regular Jubilee of the 21st century  and the first  post-pandemic ordinary Jubilee....the faithful around the world anticipate a profound period of spiritual renewal, forgiveness and reconciliation."

 

"In Catholic tradition, a Jubilee Year (or Holy Year) is a special year of grace, typically celebrated every 25 years, though Popes may declare extraordinary Jubilee years for special occasions."

 

The Significance of the Holy Doors:

 

"One of the most striking traditions of a Jubilee Year is the opening of the Holy Doors at the four major basilicas in Rome...These doors remain sealed during normal times and are only opened during Jubilee years.  Walking through these doors becomes a powerful symbol of passing from sin to grace."

There Were Four Doors Historically and Pope Francis Has Added a Fifth Door:

 

I don't recall coming across an explanation for four doors.  And Pope Francis added the fifth this time around.  The number 5 is associated with the pentagram. - often used in occult practices.  There are five elements - earth, air, fire, water and spirit.  Five is the number of humanity.

 

"..the number five is linked to the element of ether, which represents the spiritual realm.  Five is believed to be a conduit between the material and spiritual worlds, providing a bridge for divine communication and intuitive insights.  This connection to the ethereal realm imbues the number five with a sense of mysticism and spiritual death."

 

"The spiritual significance of the number five can be traced back to ancient civilizations and various cultural traditions.  In ancient Greece...the Pythagoerans saw the number five as a symbol of harmony and balance in the cosmos.  They believed in the pentagram, a five-pointed star, it represents the five elements of nature:  earth, air, fire, water and spirit."  The Chinese culture also believe in the five elements and five brings good luck and protection.  We find similar connections to five in Hinduism and Buddhism.

 

Five represents harmony and equilibrium and a balance of all aspects of life.  Five embodies change - the ability to adapt and evolve as we go through cycles of growth and renewal.  Five "reminds us that we have the power to expand our horizons, both intellectually and spiritually."  Five is associated with sensuality and pleasure.

The Unsealing of the Doors:

 

The ceremony that proceeds the ceremony of opening the Jubilee was held in St. Peter's Basilica.  It was presided over by Cardinal Mauro Gambetti.  This ceremony involved the removal of a metal box that was contained within the wall of the sealed Holy door - placed there during the closing of the last Jubilee.  The Cardinal made sure that the key that opens the door to this Basilica was there for the opening on December 24th.  Then the wall that seals the Holy Door was torn down.

"On the evening of Dec. 2, the rite of "regonitio" (Latin for "verification") took place in St. Peter's Basilica.  This is a traditional ceremony to verify and ascertain that the Holy Door, closed during the last holy year - the Jubilee of Mercy, Nov. 20, 2016 - is intact, sealed, and ready to be reopened at the beginning of the new Jubilee 2025.  The pilgrimage to the Holy Doors is a central act of the jubilee.  Passing through them during the holy year symbolizes entry into a new life in Christ and the beginning of a journey of conversion."  This same ceremony will take place at the other Holy doors.

Lots of pomp and circumstance, and the various ceremonies were created by various popes and 'master-of-ceremonies' to become the 'rituals' they are today.  And over time, these rituals have taken on different meanings, influenced by demonic forces within the Vatican.

 

When Did Satan/Lucifer Enter the Vatican?:

 

Father Malachi Martin said the smoke of Hell goes all the way to the top in the Vatican.  He said, "There was this consecration, this enthronement of Satan within the Vatican, of Lucifer by the way.  It's a historical fact.  It was done on particular day by a certain group of people representing Luciferians all over the world, especially American Luciferians.  It was done. Therefore, in a certain sense, Lucifer has power.  He doesn't own yet, but I'm sure he hopes to own some Pope as his man."  Martin died in 1999.  He spoke about the apostasy that was happening in the Catholic Church - within the Vatican.  There are many within the Church that worship Satan, worship Lucifer.

The Enthronement of Lucifer in the Vatican:

 

"To this end a coalition of infiltrated satanists conducted a satanic ritual at the Vatican to enthrone Lucifer therein.  This enthronement took place on June 29, 1963, the day that Paul VI was coronated as pope...The very purpose of the ritual was to enthrone The Prince (Lucifer) in an attempt to dethrone Christ and usher in the Universal Church of Man."

Glenn Beck Visit to the Vatican, 2012:

 

I remember listening to Glenn Beck last year talking about his last visit to the Vatican in 2012 when Pope Benedict was Pope.  Beck talked about Cardinal Dolan telling him there there was a war going on in the Vatican - between good and evil.  And that Pope Benedict had been 'stacking the deck' with good Cardinals.  Beck later said that in this Vatican meeting that a certain Cardinal walked into the room and the room became chilly - Cardinal Dolan said that man 'was the head'.  Beck said that was the 'spookiest guy he'd ever met'.  Even though Pope Francis has spoken about evil in the Vatican - Beck doesn't think that Pope Benedict and Pope Francis were on 'the same side'. "That they aren't fighting the same evil."

Pope Francis and Today's Vatican:

 

Is Pope Francis Satan's 'man'?  Seems these ceremonies that lack any real power are used to control the masses and keep them focused on the 'power' of the Vatican. The power over forgiveness, restitution - placing the 'Catholic Church' before God.

 

Pope Francis is aware of the meaning of Five 'holy' doors and their ceremonies.  Is that why he added a fifth door?  To complete the connection between the material and spiritual worlds?  A pentagram is a five pointed star.

 

This first Holy door opening ceremony coincides with the eve of Chanukah and the eve of Christmas.  And it's also Haggai's the 24th day of the ninth month - the possible day of the Gog and Magog War.

 

With the satanic take over of the Vatican, will the opening of these doors open portals to hell, letting out the demons locked behind them?

 

IF the Rapture happens on December 17th, then seven days later is this unholy ritual.  These doors aren't the ones that Jesus speaks of, these are the luciferian doors that Father Malachi Martin has warned us about.  It's been over ten years since Glenn Beck was told about a 'war' in the Vatican...did evil win?

 

People often speak about 'opening a door to demons'.  Use of a Ouija board, for example.  There is also the doors of lust (of power, money, a job, etc), revenge, pride, jealousy, etc..  That opening a door can lead to demonic access of a person's life.  "Demons enter through "open doors".  "Open doors are spiritual weak points that the enemy can exploit to bring you under the power of deception."

I believe that the Vatican is in a major power struggle - the good faction and the evil faction led by Pope Francis. Telling people to walk through 'Holy' doors in a pilgrimage to forgiveness and renewal isn't what The Bible and Jesus teach.  That's a man-made ritual of much pomp and circumstance - a lot of bluff and show.

 

It's just interesting timing that this Jubilee will start with the Pope opening a 'Holy' door to St. Peter's Basilica on the eve of Chanukah, the eve of Christmas and Haggai's prophesy...the Pope is only being used to distract from the holiness of these days.

And the faithful around the world are being misled about a year of 'spiritual renewal, forgiveness and reconciliation.'

 

Someday, Jesus will enter through the only Holy door that will matter - the Eastern Gate.  To fulfill the prophesy of His second coming.  The Pope's doors in 2025 will be meaningless.  As Father Malachi Martin said, the smoke of Hell goes all the way to the top of the Vatican.

 

Vatican's Nativity:

 

And then we have the Vatican's display of the Nativity for Christmas - except "baby Jesus is depicted sleeping on a keffiyeh, the traditional scarf associated with Palestinian nationalism."  "...the display ignited a firestorm of criticism....Critics accused the Vatican of injecting political messaging into a religious celebration and misrepresenting the apolitical message of their Christ's birth."
The Blogs: Keffiyeh nativity: Pope Francis sparks outrage | Bepi Pezzulli | The Times of Israel

 

I agree that this is "an offensive politicization of a sacred moment in Christian tradition."  The Vatican ended up replacing the keffiyeh with a "more neutral white cloth".  

 

This article notes a deeper problem:   "the Vatican's increasing willingness to align itself with specific political narratives rather than remaining a moral and spiritual beacon for its faithful...the Church is diluting its moral authority and undermining its role as a spiritual guide to the Catholics."

 

The article ends with:  "This Christmas, perhaps the Vatican should stick to shepherds and angels - after all, the birth of Christ hardly needs a PR stunt to stay relevant."

 

The battle for the Vatican continues....

 

Satan is always pushing, always trying to get a toe in.....And the Vatican under this Pope has a big foot!

 

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem~

 

Maranatha!
