A big shift is coming, it seems. Our pattern projection was quickly followed by a pattern fulfillment, spawning glimpses of the future in the process as anticipated by "
New Year's Prophecy". What's coming, as far as we can tell, is a dramatic
tectonic shift in time...
This
New Year's Eve/Day Impact in the form of an Istanbul nightclub terror attack by ISIS came with all the hallmarks identified in
New Year's Prophecy (Part 1, posted Dec 30), i.e.
Sirius,
Rio time code, etc... with ominous implications for the new year:

- Sirius = New Year's star (culmination at ~midnight/start of Jan 1)
- Istanbul nightclub terror attack on New Year's Eve/Day (1 hr 15 min after midnight local time)
- Sirius = Isis (per ancient Egyptian tradition)
- Istanbul nightclub attack by ISIS
- Isis = "Queen of Heaven" (per tradition)
- Istanbul nightclub named "Reina" meaning "Queen"
- Rio = "New year's city" via ~Jan 1 solar alignment (lat/dec); same alignment also on ~Dec 10 (plus temporal context of 2016 = year of Rio Olympics)
- Jan 1, 2017: Istanbul terror attack (nightclub)
- Dec 10, 2016: Istanbul terror attack (soccer stadium)
It is the geographical focus on
Istanbul in particular that exhibits the strongest qualities of being the New Year's crystal ball. This has to do with the
papal/Church/Christianity theme highlighted in
Part 1...
Istanbul used to be called
Constantinople after
Constantine the Great (AD 272-337) who founded the capital city of the
Roman Empire. Constantine played a pivotal role in making
Christianity the powerful, dominant religion that it is today. "
Constantinian Shift", as it is sometimes called, ensured not only the survival but also the dominance of Christianity over pagan religions including ancient Egyptian cults.
By becoming the
first Christian Roman emperor, Constantine initiated the
marriage between the Roman Empire and Christianity, in effect creating a
"Christian Empire". In 313
he and Licinius decriminalized Christianity with the Edict of Milan; in 325
he convened the first Council of Nicaea to establish the first uniform Christian doctrine/orthodoxy ("Nicene Creed"), officially declaring what Christianity is/should be; in 380
under Roman Emperor Theodosius I Christianity officially became the state religion of the Roman Empire; in 391, Theodosius I issued a decree outlawing ancient cults; in the early 400s the ancient Egyptian temple on the Philae island was the last to be converted into a church. Christianity engulfed the ancient Egyptian magical "religion".
Isis was one of the most prominent deities in the ancient Egyptian "religion", making it highly meaningful that we saw Istanbul/
Constantinople juxtaposed with ISIS in the New Year's terror attack. Add to it our
Rio de Janeiro "
Janus" context, i.e. the god of the
beginning and
ending, we definitely get this theme of the
end of the Egyptian religion and the
beginning of the Roman Christianity, geographically and historically interfacing at Istanbul/Constantinople.
Also pertinent to this is the back-to-back, daughter-mother double death event/signal that we were sad to see right after
Christmas (the biggest Christian holiday)...
Carrie
Fisher's last name has a very
Christian connotation:
The phrase "fishers of men," also at Mark 1:17, is one of the most well known lines in the entire New Testament, and the most important metaphor for evangelism. The image probably had an important role in the adoption of the Ichthys as a symbol of early Christianity. The reference has also often been moved from the disciples to Jesus, with him being called the "fisher of men," and the image of Jesus as a fisherman is second only to that of Jesus as a shepherd.
Fisher was also
Princess Leia in
Star Wars which makes her
mother Debbie Reynolds analogous to a "
queen", ominously resonating with the nightclub Reina - meaning "
Queen" - attacked in
Istanbul attacked on New Year's Day.
On
Christmas Day itself was another major death of an icon -
George Michael. One of his well known songs was
Last Christmas...
...and his most successful album - winning the Grammy Awards for Album of the Year in 1989 - was called
Faith (1987).
So we continue to see this combination of
Christianity and "
ending" ("last") together, evoking the
2012 poster (
Rio Jesus statue) we highlighted previously.
Put it all together, the overall message could potentially be (though not exclusively so) something to the effect of "
the end of the Age of the Church/Christianity/Roman Empire or Age of Pisces", and perhaps concurrently the
resurrection of the ancient Egyptian/Gnostic/Hermetic tradition/philosophy which was forced to go underground by the combined forces of the Church and the Roman Empire.
Remember, the key idea behind "New Year's Prophecy" was that we would have a significant event(s) around New Year's Eve/Day, likely related to
Sirius, the
papacy, as well as the
Russia-US cyberwar situation. That it would be a major foreshadowing of what's to come in 2017 and potentially beyond. We are now indeed getting
glimpses of the potential future assuming we are on the right track, which we should be based on the accuracy level of our projection so far.
Even the Russian cyberwar pattern manifested vividly on New Year's Eve in the form of big news headlines claiming Russian cyber hacking of Vermont's electric utility:
It's tempting to try to combine the potentially prophetic themes we have going...
- Papacy/Church (ending?)
- Queen ISIS
- Russia-US relations, cyber warfare
For example, we can imagine a scenario in which ISIS assassinates the Pope, or one that has Queen Elizabeth II dying or stepping down like Pope Benedict XVI did back in 2013. As for Russia, the new Cold War-like situation may be something unfolding in the "background" throughout the near.
But the most intriguing and central in the whole pattern is the "end of the papacy/Church/Christianity" storyline. Ominously it goes well with curiously accurate
St. Malachy's papal prophecy...
The Prophecy of the Popes is a series of 112 short, cryptic phrases in Latin which purport to predict the Roman Catholic popes (along with a few antipopes), beginning with Pope Celestine II. The alleged prophecies were first published by Benedictine monk Arnold Wion in 1595. Wion attributes the prophecies to Saint Malachy, a 12th-century Archbishop of Armagh, Ireland.
According to the prophecy,
Pope Francis would correspond to the
final pope on the list called "
Peter the Roman". (This correspondence is not certain as there is some ambiguity at the end of the pope list, but Francis would definitely be one the final popes.)
Pope Benedict XVI was #111 on the list with the motto "Glory of the Olive". It is then followed by a set of
sentences - not just a short motto, but two
paragraphs - describing the
next/final pope or the next
two (or more) final popes...
In persecutione extrema S.R.E. sedebit.
Petrus Romanus, qui pascet oves in multis tribulationibus,
quibus transactis civitas septicollis diruetur,
& judex tremedus judicabit populum suum. Finis.
In the extreme persecution of the Holy Roman Church,
there will sit.
Peter the Roman, who will pasture his sheep in many tribulations,
and when these things are finished, the city of seven hills [i.e. Rome] will be destroyed, and the terrible judge will judge his people.
The End.
They clearly describe the end of the Roman Catholic Church, the end of Rome. And it sounds as if this great destruction would come
after the reign of "Peter the Roman". That would mean
after Pope Francis. If we are in fact getting a multicontextual foreshadowing of 2017 signaling a situation very similar to St. Malachy's "Peter the Roman" prophecy, that would imply the exit of Pope Francis within a year or so, followed by the Fall of the Church and with it the Age of Pisces (Fish).
Of course, the big question is, is Pope Francis really Peter the Roman? No way to be sure obviously. But there are intriguing hints.
Remember the "sign in the sky" at the time of Pope Benedict's resignation (2013) which also produced a geo-alignment pinpointing Rio (discussed in Part 1)?
Feb 11, 2013: Pope Benedict XVI announces resignation
Feb 15, 2013: Major meteor impact in Chelyabinsk, Russia

Note that "
Peter" means "
rock".
Meteors are "rocks fallen from heaven". So the mid-February 2013 double impact event in effect telegraphed "(space) rock Rome" or "
Peter the Roman"!
And out of this "Peter the Roman" event came
Pope Francis, introduced to the world on March 13, 2013.
As discussed in Part 1 the very first foreign land he officially visited as the pope was... Rio de Janeiro.
It gets even more interesting. Pope Francis's arrival in Rio on
January 22, 2013 precisely coincided with the
birth of Prince William and Kate's
royal baby Prince George. who is
Queen Elizabeth II's great grand child.
Remember, the
New Year's terror attack in Istanbul/
Constantinople - the "birthplace" of the Roman Catholic Church - involved a nightclub called "
Queen" (
Reina).
A fascinating
Pope-Queen entanglement. Or... a "
father-mother" entanglement.
After the exit of Queen Elizabeth II, the line of succession will be:
- Prince Charles
- Prince William
- Prince George (William's baby)
It just so happens that Pope Francis's real name is also "George". (Full name: Jorge Mario Bergoglio.) And George Michael just died on Christmas, the biggest Christian holiday mere days before New Year's Day.
Perhaps there is something special about Prince George? I talked extensively about the "Grail bloodline" symbolism surrounding the British royal family, particularly on the Diana side and Prince William, in my 2011 article "Lucifer's Destiny".
Perhaps this year (2017) the Pope and/or the Queen will die/exit which will trigger a chain reaction that leads to:
- the FALL of the Roman Catholic Church
- the RISE of the "Holy Grail" via British Royal Family after QE2
This duality would make a lot of multicontextual sense since the Holy Grail tradition has a lot - if not is all about - the Gnostic/Hermetic/Egyptian underground stream, the "religion" or philosophy (as well as bloodlines in some capacity) embodied in the figure of Isis, suppressed by the Roman Christianity which came into power via Constantin the Great. I'm not saying the bloodline of Princess Diana (Prince William, Prince George, etc.) has to be literally of the Holy Grail a la "The Da Vince Code", but even just a symbolic rise of "King Arthur" in this manner would be... well, symbolic of "Isis rising".
Isis is Sirius, and Sirius is "The Star", which is tarot card #17 as in 2017.
Perhaps it's no coincidence that the origin of the tarot could be traced back to underground stream tradition. We noted in Part 1 the cover of The Economist predicting 2017 world events displays the tarot, and the biggest political/geopolitical event coming in 2017 is a figure named "Trump" as in trump/tarot cards.
Plus, let's not forget that the musician Prince died on Queen Elizabeth II's birthday (April 21) last year.
It connects back to Rio as the Olympics there started on the day of a Regulus-Venus conjunction. Regulus, the heart of lion (Leo), is traditionally known as "prince" (or "little king").
The Rio Olympics ended on August 21 when Regulus was in conjunction with the Sun...
...coinciding with a deadly earthquake in central Italy near Rome where the Pope resides.
Aug 23/24, 2016 Deadly earthquake rattles central Italy
Aug 25 Italy quake death toll passes 240
These things are
heavily interconnected. When there is this level of inter-contextual coherence, that's when you know there is a big hurricane forming and at some point it will strike. And when it does, it helps if we are prepared and mentally ready. (In some cases, we may even be able to prevent it.) Going multicontextual, as done in this
New Year's Prophecy series, can be very valuable in this sense, helping us acquire a perspective unstuck in linear time.
The torch is being passed from the Old World to the New World, a new age to rise out of the ashes of the old age like the phoenix. Mars is coming. An ending is always a new beginning, always together, like New Year's Eve and New Year's Day. Now face-to-face with this "Janus moment" in history, we can't help but be reminded of the old Chinese curse: "May you live in interesting times"...
[P.S. There's much more going on right now than the issues discussed in this article. For example, I didn't even touch on the earth changes stuff that will... Well, like I said we're at a tipping point, the point of no return. Already being discussed on STRUG, if you're interested.]
