I was just reading about the new Pope. In a flash it seemed that I had a much clearer understanding of how things were going to play out in the future.
The next thing I did was check my mail and in JJ's post he cited the the following quote. I just had to wonder if this was conscious, subconscious, or serendipity in action. I often find things in JJ's writings that are nothing less than prophetic in a way, yet few seem to pick up on them.
Bureaucracy defends the status quo long past the time when the quo has lost its status. Laurence J. Peter (1919 - 1988)
Actually, I made the following statement back in 2001 when commenting on the failed attempt of the Hierarchy with Pope John Paul I
"It is quite possible another attempt (at overshadowing the Pope) may be made by the Master Jesus around 2020 or thereabouts."
This date is not set in stone but it does indicate that the status quo will prevail for a while.
I can't take any credit for this, but I did quote from a commentary of St. Malachy's prediction a few posts back which read:
The Next Pope: The 111th prophecy is "Gloria Olivae" (The Glory of the Olive). The meaning of the olive is unclear. The Order of Saint Benedict - not St. Malachy - has claimed that this pope will come from its ranks and Saint Benedict himself prophesied that before the end of the world his Order, known also as the Olivetans, will triumphantly lead the Catholic Church in its final fight against evil.
Notice that the new Pope took the name of "Benedict" which is fitting for the order of Benedict is also known as "Olivetans."

If an individual opens a seal in one lifetime does it automatically remain open in the next...or does one need to open the "lower" 4 seals during past incarnations and before continuing to work on the 5th he must remember and assimilate all that has been learned to be able to move in the spirit and thus work to open the 5th and so on??
Does one have to open all 7 seals anew in the same lifetime to achieve Jesus' perfection or ascension? Is their carry over?
In each life we relive and remaster all we have learned in past lives that we will need in the current one. It's a little like taking a refresher course and usually not nearly as painful as the original lesson.
When the adversary tempted Jesus in the wilderness he was being tempted with material he had already mastered, but the experience merely served to reinforce that which he has already learned.
Many of us have opened some of the seals, but there will come a life where each of us will follow in the footsteps of the Master and open them all in one lifetime. When this time comes then the four beasts, the 24 elders and millions of angels within will rejoice and sing praises to heaven and earth. The inner joy will be beyond description.
