Tribulation Begins march 22, 2013

A confluence of events has been silently moving towards Jerusalem and will become the single event most talked about on March 22, 2013.

Jerusalem will be divided into 3 administrative zones, west Jerusalem will remain under the control of the Israelis and east Jerusalem will be given over to the Palestinians, while old Jerusalem will become an international city administered by the Roman church.

To understand why March 22, 2013 is important and prophetic I suggest you view this video. It is as long as a movie, but it is through and when you are done you will also understand. 

On March 20^th ,2012 Barack Hussein Obama Jr., President of the United States heads to visit Israel for the first time of his Presidency, His itinerary has been leaked to the press and he will be in Jerusalem between March the 20^th and March the 22nd. On March the 21st he will be given a tour of a scale model of Jerusalem during the Second Temple period. 

Obama will use this visit to put forward his plan that also calls for resolving the two thorniest issues in the conflict by sharing Jerusalem and placing the Arab refugees problem by placing these refuges in Arab countries or a future Palestinian state, but not in Israel. According to Obama, the Old City of Jerusalem would be designated an “international zone”.

On February 28^th, 2013 the current head of the Roman Catholic Church will resign, and according to Cannon Law the next Pope will be chosen during a conclave of Cardinals that starts sometime between March 15^th and March 20^th. The next Pope is expected to be the last Pope of the Catholic Church according to a 900 year old prophesy of Saint Malachi.  He is called by the name Peter the Roman in this prophesy.   Considering the Church will have over a month to think about the next Pope, the chances are that the selection process should be very quick with the new Pope elected between March the 18th and March the 23^rd.     

The next Pope will also want to have a stake in Jerusalem under the pretext of protecting the Holy Sites. Since 1887 when Pope Leo XII issued the Domini et Salvatoris which places the Catholic Church as guardian of the Holy Sites in Jerusalem.  In 1949 this was also a concern of Pope Pious when he issued the Redemptoris Nostri Cruciatus calling for Jerusalem to be an international city.

Recently “Cardinal Jean-Louis Tauran  said, There will not be peace if the question of the holy sites is not adequately resolved”, Tauran said. “The part of Jerusalem within the walls – with the holy sites of the three religions – is humanity’s heritage. The sacred and unique character of the area must be safeguarded and it can only be done with a special, internationally-guaranteed statute

Thursday's statement called for "an internationally guaranteed special statute" for Jerusalem, aimed at "safeguarding the freedom of religion and of conscience, the identity and sacred character of Jerusalem as a Holy City, (and) respect for, and freedom of, access to its holy places." Vatican statement, November 29, 2012

One of the favorites to climb into the Petrine Chair is Cardnial Peter Turkson who recently stated "We want peace, reconciliation and unity, beginning in Jerusalem!" Turkson December 15, 2010

It would be interesting if Turkson is elevated to Pope, and like Obama he too is of African origins. Imagine the global impact of Obama and Turkson would have calling for peace starting with the division of Jerusalem. What would the reaction of the world be if Turkson’s answer to the question, “Quo nomine vocaberis,” is Romanus Secundo!
