In comments before 7,000 people attending the General
Papal Audience yesterday at the Vatican, Pope John
Paul II commented on the Apocalypse, saying that the
increase in violence and injustice in the world is the
work of a furious Satan who doesn't have "much time
left" and ultimately will be defeated.
According to a report in the Italian website AGI online,
the pope said, "God and the Lamb, Christ, surrounded by
the 'Council of the Crown,' are judging human history in
good and evil, but showing us however the ultimate end
in salvation and glory. The songs which are found in the
Apocalypse and which serve to illustrate the issue of
divine glory which regulates the flux, often
disconcerting, of the tide of human events."
The pope then predicts Satan's downfall:
"Satan, the original adversary, who accused our brothers
in the heavenly court, has now been cast down from heaven
and therefore no longer has great power. He knows he has
not much time left because history is about to see a
radical turning point in freedom from evil and therefore
he is reacting full of great fury.
"And then the resurrected Christ will rise up, whose
blood is the principle of salvation and who received
from the Father royal power over the entire universe;
in Him are centered salvation, strength and the kingdom
of our God. In his victory are associated the Christian
martyrs who chose the path of the cross, not yielding to
evil and it virulence, but delivering themselves to the
Father and uniting themselves to the death of Christ by
means of a testimony of donation and courage which brought
them to give up life in order to die."
Concluded the pope: "The words of the Apocalypse regarding
those who have vanquished Satan and evil through the blood
of the Lamb, echo also in the splendid prayer attributed
to the Christian martyr Simeon, from Seleucia-Ctesifonte
in Persia: 'I will receive life without pain, worry,
anguish, persecutor, persecuted, oppressor, oppressed,
tyrant or victim, there I will see no threat of king, or
terror of prefects, no one will quote me in court or
terrorize me and no one will drag me or scare me.'"

If you squint while reading it, it reminds you of something

Well, as I just told Huey, someday Jesus is going
to punish you by tying you across the hood of a
'74 Chevy and whipping you with a car aerial.
I have no idea why Jesus is going to punish you
and Huey and probably Sterno this way, He just is.
Maybe everybody else is going to go to Heaven or
Hell or Limbo or Frug or whatever.
Philo, too. He better get used to the idea. It's
not like free will is involved or anything. It's
just something that *has* to be done.
There isn't a thing about what happens after He
whups your backside, either. Maybe you just get
to go on doing whatever for the rest of eternity
knowing full well that Jesus tied you across the
hood of a '74 Chevy and whipped you with a car
aerial.
Now, if you get a hard-on when He's whipping your
ass, He might do a Batman on you. It's prolly a
sin of some kind to get a hard-on when Jesus is
whipping your ass with a car aerial.
Actually, I think that one *is* in the Bible,
somewhere. Leviticus, I think, so it may not
apply.
Anyway, once you are good and car aerial whipped
and Jesus lets you go, I suppose you will become
some kind of Xtian icon or something with all the
fat, middle aged Xtians wanting to touch your
body and feel your scars and shit.
That would be sorta Hell-y and all I guess.

Well, I HAVE been asking for it for a long time. He's just witholding
the proverbial rod because He knows I LIKE it, oh PLEASE, Master, DO ME,
DOOOOO MEEEEEE!!!!
