1Corinthians 1:18 For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. 19 For it is written: “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise;
the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate.”
20 Where is the wise person? Where is the teacher of the law? Where is the philosopher of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? 21 For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not know him, God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save those who believe. 22 Jews demand signs and Greeks look for wisdom, 23 but we preach Christ crucified: a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles, 24 but to those whom God has called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. 25 For the foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than human strength.
Good Friday September 14 2018 during Mass at the Casa Santa Marta.
“The cross of Jesus teaches us that in life there is failure and there is victory”, it teaches us not to fear the “dark times” which can be illuminated by the cross, which is a sign of God's victory over evil.
Describing Satan as evil who is demolished and chained, he warned those present that he “still barks” and that, if you approach him to caress him, “he will destroy you.”
The Pope explained that when we contemplate the cross, the mark of Christians, we contemplate a sign of defeat but also a sign of victory: “All that Jesus did during his life” failed on the cross" - he said - "and all the hope of his followers came to an end."
“We must not be afraid to contemplate the cross as a moment of defeat, of failure. When Paul reflects on the mystery of Jesus Christ, he says some powerful things. He tells us that Jesus emptied himself, annihilated himself, was made sin to the end and took all our sins upon himself, all the sins of the world: he was a ‘rag’, a condemned man. Paul was not afraid to show this defeat and even this can enlighten our moments of darkness, our moments of defeat. But the cross is also a sign of victory for us Christians”.
That is the context of the clip you elected to post - and the particular translated words of Francis in that clip are in Portuguese.
The term failure - as used in that translated text in the clip - is constant with his frame of reference historically stated not once by many times. He also says on Good Friday September 14 2018 during Mass at the Casa Santa Marta “Our victory is the cross of Jesus, victory over our enemy, the ancient serpent, the Great Accuser” he also said. “We have been saved” by the cross, by the fact that Jesus chose to sink to the very lowest point, but with the power of divinity”.
Don't you want to establish factual claims, brother - rather than selective misdirection in order to prove that the Pope is the false prophet of Revelation? So on the basis of a single encouragement to his hearers not to be afraid to see the Cross as the disciples saw the cross when they were scattered - a failure of God - you quote 1 Corinthians 1:18-25 to prove that the pope has rejected the Cross of Christ. The false prophet of Revelation will not be snared by that means - because he cannot be snared until the appearing of Christ.
It is factual that the Pope refers to the cross of Christ as God's failure and it is also factual that Paul wrote that the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing.
The misdirection is anyone trying to tell believers that the Pope is "our Pope" or trying to justify his teachings or characterize them as being Christian.
Hebrews 11 -- Do you know why Satan and His evil kingdom is scared of us?
30 By faith the walls of Jericho fell, after the army had marched around them for seven days.
Faith of who? This is Israel acting as a corporate body in faith. This is what the censorship is, it is the "walls of Jericho" trying to keep out the word of God. Do you realize all those people hiding behind those walls are losing trust in the city leaders day by day? Do you realize they are desperate to know what the story is about all the Israelites outside the walls marching around? Regardless of how hard they try to shut out the gospel they are desperate to know what it is we are talking about.
31 By faith the prostitute Rahab, because she welcomed the spies, was not killed with those who were disobedient.
I consider Oscar Schindler to be a good example to understand this. He had “prostituted” himself with the Nazi’s selling them products to get rich. But he came to see the sins of the Nazi’s and he feared God more than the Nazis. So he hid several thousand Jews from extermination. Do you know why Satan and this evil age is scared of the gospel? It is because with us there is forgiveness. The chains that they use to bind people in the Satanic kingdom is that there is no forgiveness. You sinned, we will use that to destroy you and condemn you so you are now forced to do our bidding. But we come along and tell them your sins can be forgiven. As a result many of those who were formerly held captive, like a prostitute, are now free to follow the Lord. This is why the Satanic kingdom is falling, there are those within it that know the sins but they are following their conscience, following the Lord at great risk to themselves.

There are always facts brother, and you can select them as you please. That is your constitutional right. But truth is another matter and I would never encourage anyone to misdirect what men have said in order to incite a spiritual claim. The clip is a falsehood because it is expressly intended to distort what was said in its fullness to what men want to be a fact. The Pope is an abomination - but then that claim could be easily established without having to play false.
Jeremiah 10:1-7 O King of Nations, there is none like unto thee
Jeremiah 10:1 Hear ye the word which Jehovah speaketh unto you, O house of Israel:
It is a shame that God has to say this. Try speaking a word concerning the apostasy of the church and they just absolutely refuse to listen to the word of the Lord. Instead you get lectures, rebukes, justifications, and it is all man's opinion, not one word from the Bible other than a few lame verses that are out joint and twisted to fit their narrative.
2 thus saith Jehovah, Learn not the way of the nations, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the nations are dismayed at them.
The nations have practices, customs, traditions, celebrations, etc. Are they idolatrous? Perhaps, perhaps not, but either way we are told not to learn these ways. For example they like to worship the Sun on December 25th because they saw the Sun slowly sinking in the horizon until the 22nd (winter solstice) but then on the 25th you could tell with the naked eye that the sun was starting to rise again.
3 For the customs of the peoples are vanity; for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman with the axe. 4 They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.
What a strange custom. They cut down a tree in the forest, bring it into their home, deck the boughs with silver and gold! Really? They fix it in some kind of stand so it can stand in your house even though it is dead? Who would learn such a custom? I have been assured by some Christians that this is not, and I repeat not, referring to a Christmas tree. So then, we should pat ourselves on the back, because I don't know anyone who has adopted this custom, unless of course we are talking about a Christmas tree in which case this is the custom of the peoples of the world. But it couldn't be a "Christmas" tree because this was prior to Jesus, and yet there is no "Christmas" tree in the New Testament or associated with Jesus birth. Jeremiah is referring to a Babylonian practice in which they do to celebrate the birth of their God, a type of the antichrist (pseudo Christ). He was a man who died on December 22nd and then according to their legend rose and became a god on December 25th so they celebrate his birth on December 25th (three days after the winter solstice). It was part of the pagan worship of the Sun.
5 They are like a palm-tree, of turned work, and speak not: they must needs be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither is it in them to do good.
Strange verse, who would think that it would be in this dead tree or those that worship it to do good or evil? Reminds me of the whole "Christmas spirit" in the world. They pretend it is "the most wonderful time of the year" yet the reality is the shopping is a nightmare that puts intense pressure on everyone to be something they aren't.
6 There is none like unto thee, O Jehovah; thou art great, and thy name is great in might.
Hmmm, I'm wondering if they aren't really talking about the Christmas tree. We all know the stories of the Lord's birth from Luke, but this story about the pseudo Christ's birth is really a pathetic and shabby imitation.
7 Who should not fear thee, O King of the nations? for to thee doth it appertain; forasmuch as among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their royal estate, there is none like unto thee.
This is a prophecy! How can the Lord make this dramatic distinction between Jesus, the resurrected Lord, and this pseudo christ with the phony resurrection story? I suppose the rapture is what will truly strike fear into the hearts of all those left behind. That will be the dramatic proof for them that there is none like the Lord.

Jeremiah 10:8-18 In the time of their visitation they shall perish
8 But they are together brutish and foolish: the instruction of idols! it is but a stock. 9 There is silver beaten into plates, which is brought from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz, the work of the artificer and of the hands of the goldsmith; blue and purple for their clothing; they are all the work of skilful men. 10 But Jehovah is the true God; he is the living God, and an everlasting King: at his wrath the earth trembleth, and the nations are not able to abide his indignation.
11 Thus shall ye say unto them, The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth, these shall perish from the earth, and from under the heavens.
There are a lot of false gods, a lot of idolatry on this earth. Perhaps it all originated at Babel, but by the end of this age the whole earth will know that Jesus is Lord. You will discover that the pseudo christs are all brutish and foolish and they take their marching orders from idols! Ultimately the idol is the money, and the high priests of idol worship are those who print this money. When God becomes indignant this financial system will collapse. The reference in the book of Revelation to the mark of the beast is the last ditch brutish and foolish attempt of these monetary priests to hold it all together.
12 He hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his wisdom, and by his understanding hath he stretched out the heavens. 13 When he uttereth his voice, there is a tumult of waters in the heavens, and he causeth the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings for the rain, and bringeth forth the wind out of his treasuries. 14 Every man is become brutish and is without knowledge; every goldsmith is put to shame by his graven image; for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them. 15 They are vanity, a work of delusion: in the time of their visitation they shall perish. 16 The portion of Jacob is not like these; for he is the former of all things; and Israel is the tribe of his inheritance: Jehovah of hosts is his name.
In the time of their visitation is a reference to the day of the Lord. The money is a falsehood, vanity, a work of delusion. Ultimately whatever pagan rituals and customs the world has it is all about the worship of money. Halloween, pagan ritual to force you to buy candy, costumes, and lure children in. Christmas again a pagan ritual to buy junk and the same with Easter. Let's compare the pagan customs associated with Christmas with the Biblical ones. We have a church service where we focus on the stories in Luke concerning the Lord's birth, we sing songs of worship to the Lord. By comparison the pagan version is to put this tree in your house, buy all kinds of decorations, and presents. The pagan version is all about buying junk from the stores.
17 Gather up thy wares out of the land, O thou that abidest in the siege. 18 For thus saith Jehovah, Behold, I will sling out the inhabitants of the land at this time, and will distress them, that they may feel it.
Wow, is Jeremiah saying that the inhabitants of "the land" will be slung out at Christmas and this is when there will be a siege? Revelation 18 describes the merchants of the earth mourning about who will buy their wares after Babylon the great is judged and we can easily see that Babylon the Great refers to the USA. She deceives the whole earth -- USA. Who will buy our wares? USA is by far the biggest market on earth. She is described as riding seven hills and the US has the biggest presence on the 7 continents by far, no other country can compare. She is said to have many deep water ports. That eliminates Rome, and every other nation. She is described as having a gold cup (the word of God is fine gold) that is filled with abominations that she has made the rest of the world drunk on. What country has both filled the earth with Bibles and also abominable movies?
8 But they are together brutish and foolish: the instruction of idols! it is but a stock. 9 There is silver beaten into plates, which is brought from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz, the work of the artificer and of the hands of the goldsmith; blue and purple for their clothing; they are all the work of skilful men. 10 But Jehovah is the true God; he is the living God, and an everlasting King: at his wrath the earth trembleth, and the nations are not able to abide his indignation.

Jeremiah 10:19-25 They have devoured Jacob
19 Woe is me because of my hurt! my wound is grievous: but I said, Truly this is my grief, and I must bear it. 20 My tent is destroyed, and all my cords are broken: my children are gone forth from me, and they are not: there is none to spread my tent any more, and to set up my curtains. 21 For the shepherds are become brutish, and have not inquired of Jehovah: therefore they have not prospered, and all their flocks are scattered. 22 The voice of tidings, behold, it cometh, and a great commotion out of the north country, to make the cities of Judah a desolation, a dwelling-place of jackals.
This describes an attack from the North on the US. One might think "Canada?" But it seems this is really a reference to missiles that fly over the North Pole from Russia. Ironic since we typically hear about Santa flying from the North Pole on Christmas eve, so you can imagine God would find this a fitting day for Russia to attack. Also, this Christmas is the 30th anniversary of the Fall of the USSR which Russia blames on the IMF, so they also could think that this would be very fitting. It sounds absurd that Russia would do this, but only a few years ago Germany had the audacity to do this and Russia is far bigger than Germany.
The shepherds are become brutish. This could refer to the government officials who are supposed to be shepherding the country or it could refer to the pastors of these denominational churches and mega churches. Once again this sounds to me like the response of those in the apostasy when they wake up and realize they have been left behind. Imagine what would happen to US cities if the US dollar collapsed and we were hit with missiles from Russia. They would become a desolation like Detroit, a dwelling place of jackals which is what these videos of the smash and grab robbers is telling us.
23 O Jehovah, I know that the way of man is not in himself; it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps. 24 O Jehovah, correct me, but in measure; not in thine anger, lest thou bring me to nothing. 25 Pour out thy wrath upon the nations that know thee not, and upon the families that call not on thy name; for they have devoured Jacob, yea, they have devoured him and consumed him, and have laid waste his habitation.
19 Woe is me because of my hurt! my wound is grievous: but I said, Truly this is my grief, and I must bear it. 20 My tent is destroyed, and all my cords are broken: my children are gone forth from me, and they are not: there is none to spread my tent any more, and to set up my curtains. 21 For the shepherds are become brutish, and have not inquired of Jehovah: therefore they have not prospered, and all their flocks are scattered. 22 The voice of tidings, behold, it cometh, and a great commotion out of the north country, to make the cities of Judah a desolation, a dwelling-place of jackals.

Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.
You cannot consider the various prophecies and judgements related to the end of the age and the rapture without discovering the deep things of Satan, the worshippers of Moloch, the descendants of Cain, etc. These are some blood thirsty people. This makes me wonder about the way of the Lord compared to the way of Satan and that leads me to this verse about the meek.
What does it mean to be "meek". I would consider sheep to be meek, in fact all domesticated animals are domesticated because they are meek. We have not domesticated Zebras because they are not meek. You cannot keep certain animals without them attacking and killing one another.
I would describe "Meek" even more broadly to refer to the Eusocial species on this planet. The definition of eusocial:
Eusociality (from Greek εὖ eu "good" and social), the highest level of organization of sociality, is defined by the following characteristics: cooperative brood care (including care of offspring from other individuals), overlapping generations within a colony of adults, and a division of labor into reproductive and non-reproductive groups. The division of labor creates specialized behavioral groups within an animal society which are sometimes referred to as 'castes'. Eusociality is distinguished from all other social systems because individuals of at least one caste usually lose the ability to perform at least one behavior characteristic of individuals in another caste.
Ants, Termites, Bees, and naked mole rats are the typical examples of eusocial species. Altogether there are about 18 species thought to be eusocial. As a rule you cannot have a social group of more than 100 individuals living together without the species being eusocial. Man, by nature is not eusocial, but one function of true religion is to teach us to be. This is why the false prophet teaching the "brotherhood of man" and pushing the one world religion is a critical component of the beast system.
Strictly speaking cattle are not "eusocial" because they don't have specialized jobs but I would classify all domesticated animals as "meek" which means they are willing to be ruled by the eusocial species. If you consider the biomass of all eusocial species including man and all the meek species of cattle and domesticated animals it makes up the overwhelming majority of species on this planet. The Lord's word can be seen.
Today you could compare the satanists to a python snake, it seems very big, sneaky, powerful and deadly. Yet in reality they are losing territory every day and rarely will they ever eat a eusocial creature (man) but wind up eating other killers. If you kept cattle you would deal with a python that might have killed a calf or lamb. We don't allow wolves, or lions or bears to threaten humans or kill our cattle. Over the last six thousand years with the agricultural revolution we have seen the spread of the meek creatures across the entire earth. In the same way we should realize this is the case with the people of God compared to the wicked. I have heard they have 300,000 sealed indictments as they try to round up all these Moloch and Baal worshippers. It sounds like a lot, but it is actually 0.004% of world population. The reason they slither around in the grass, hide in holes in the ground and operate in secret societies is because they are vastly outnumbered by the rest of us. It is like a large poisonous scorpion against an ant hill. The scorpion has no chance.

Over the last six thousand years with the agricultural revolution we have seen the spread of the meek creatures across the entire earth. In the same way we should realize this is the case with the people of God compared to the wicked. I have heard they have 300,000 sealed indictments as they try to round up all these Moloch and Baal worshippers. It sounds like a lot, but it is actually 0.004% of world population. The reason they slither around in the grass, hide in holes in the ground and operate in secret societies is because they are vastly outnumbered by the rest of us. It is like a large poisonous scorpion against an ant hill. The scorpion has no chance.

DEAR AMERICAN PEOPLE, DEAR FRIENDS, for two years now, a global coup has been carried out all over the world, planned for some time by an elite group of conspirators enslaved to the interests of international high finance. This coup was made possible by an emergency pandemic that is based on the premise of a virus that has a mortality rate almost analogous to that of any other seasonal flu virus, on the delegitimization and prohibition of effective treatments, and on the distribution of an experimental gene serum which is obviously ineffective, and which also clearly carries with it the danger of serious and even lethal side effects. We all know how much the mainstream media has contributed to supporting the insane pandemic narrative, the interests that are at stake, and the goals of these groups of power: reducing the world population, making those who survive chronically ill, and imposing forms of control that violate the fundamental rights and natural liberties of citizens. And yet, two years after this grotesque farce started, which has claimed more victims than a war and destroyed the social fabric, national economies, and the very foundations of the rule of law, nothing has changed in the policies of Nations and their response to the so-called pandemic.
This global coup that he is talking about is promoted and sold to the world by the Pope. "High Finance" is just modern terminology for the high priests of Baal worship.

Well this is where Rome does begin to open up its true effect and spiritual ambition. That meaning predicates and is founded on the spirit of Jezebel. It is on that confederacy of spiritual effects made up as it is by four spirits operating to create a singular outcome that singles Rome out as a mother of spiritual wickedness. Albeit that Francis in this eulogy is of course speaking to mothers in the church and intends his message to be a familial meaning to encourage young mothers to both understand their children when they are disobedient by some sense of being children - but to discipline them by a sense of believing that Jesus was in some way discipled by by his mother for not leaving Jerusalem when they left after the feast.
There is a passage in Isaiah that expressly speaks into this meaning and that is of course in the Hebrew script - but the English translation, whilst somewhat difficult to properly understand - this event at the Temple is expressly explained in Isaiah and so the Pope is at odds with revealed Scripture. But that is this Pope because he is working on a Jezebelic principle that we can all see in every strata of society - but we have walked away from saying it because the Evangelical church made such a hash of trying to speak into that growing meaning for the last 100 years. In fact it began over 300 years ago. There would be little advantage to seeking to explain either that passage from Isaiah as I have alluded to - and neither the church meaning - both in Rome and in the reformed churches over the last 300 years. You don't see Rome as it was understood since the reformation - you believe America is the Harlot.
And just to be clear - Francis doesn't say Jesus had to beg Mary for forgiveness - he say probably had to. The difference may be slight to you but in linguistic dial it is the difference between attributing to a man a knowing falsehood and a mistaken falsehood.
Hebrews 11 -- Do not be deceived, part 7
So far we have not found anyone who was popular. Moses was reviled by the Israelites once Pharaoh stopped giving them straw, he was hated by Pharaoh and he was pursued by the army.
32 And what more shall I say? I do not have time to tell about Gideon, Barak, Samson and Jephthah,about David and Samuel and the prophets, 33 who through faith conquered kingdoms, administered justice, and gained what was promised; who shut the mouths of lions, 34 quenched the fury of the flames, and escaped the edge of the sword; whose weakness was turned to strength; and who became powerful in battle and routed foreign armies.
Yes, they ran out of time, but the Lord gave us 2,000 years to tell these stories. Just because they are not in the Bible doesn’t mean they aren’t in biographies and histories and these words also can build your faith. Gideon ultimately was a judge over Israel but Barak, Samson and Jephthah were not at all popular, perhaps feared, respected, but not popular. They were trouble makers. Yes, David was greatly admired after killing Goliath but for many years he was on the run with a rag tag army of "deplorables" and yes Samuel was greatly respected, but read it again, once he took a stand against Saul he was completely isolated. You don't "conquer a kingdom" by "not making waves". Saying "can't we all just get along" is not how you administer justice. You don't shut the mouths of lions by agreeing to shut your own mouth. If you are going to quench the fury of flames with this cancel culture and race baiting you have to be on the front lines with a bucket of water. You do not escape the edge of the sword by being a coward, we know this because this is a chapter on faith. The ones who are pleasing to God and got a testimony of faith, they escaped the edge of the sword by faith.
35 Women received back their dead, raised to life again. There were others who were tortured, refusing to be released so that they might gain an even better resurrection. 36 Some faced jeers and flogging, and even chains and imprisonment. 37 They were put to death by stoning; they were sawed in two; they were killed by the sword. They went about in sheepskins and goatskins, destitute, persecuted and mistreated—38 the world was not worthy of them. They wandered in deserts and mountains, living in caves and in holes in the ground.
Foxe's book of Martyrs tells many of these stories. There are websites dedicated to the persecuted church. These are also a wonderful way to build your faith.
39 These were all commended for their faith, yet none of them received what had been promised, 40 since God had planned something better for us so that only together with us would they be made perfect.
So stop beating yourself up. Stop feeling like a failure. Without us they cannot be made perfect. They are depending on us. Right now they are all in the stands cheering us on. We are on the same team as Abraham, and Noah, and Moses and they are there cheering for us to bring this game home. Do you really think they could be made perfect by a bunch of cowards afraid to speak the truth because some senile old man says they can't?
