HI AND GREETINGS, FROM THE POINT OF VIEW ON PROPHESY, THIS AINT TO BE TREATED AS CASUAL,TRUST ME.

Both self-styled uniters, Pope Francis and President Obama remain deeply divided

Vatican City — Taken at face value, it would be easy to presume that President Barack Obama and Pope Francis have a lot in common. After all, the two men have graced many of the same magazine covers, including Time, Rolling Stone, the Advocate and Fortune. They are both champions of social justice. And each has worked in the trenches — Francis in the barrios of Buenos Aires and Obama in inner-city Chicago — to help combat poverty. They are both well-known for their inspirational speeches and are both savvy when it comes to social networking, with Francis tweeting in nine languages to more than 10 million followers under his @pontifex handle and Obama regularly tweeting to 42-plus million followers. Each is so spontaneous and photogencic, there is even talk around Rome about whether the two will indulge in a playful selfie when they meet at the Vatican tomorrow.

But for all the qualities the two powerful leaders share, it is their stark differences that might be most apparent when they meet. Francis might be the most charismatic pope in recent memory, but his talk of tolerance and inclusion has so far stopped short of any significant change beyond tone and atmospherics. He did spend his birthday with a group of homeless men and their stray dog, but he still hasn’t even come close to altering church doctrine on issues such as birth control, women’s equality or gay rights. There is also growing disparity between those who think Obama should view the pope as a policy man with whom the United States can work and those who think a presidential visit with the pope is more about symbolism and ceremony than substantive goals and shared objectives.

Pope Francis tops Fortune's 'World's Greatest Leaders' list, but no Obama

March 20, 2014 at 8:08 AM ET


Pope Francis was named the world's greatest leader by Fortune magazine, topping a diverse list released Thursday.

Fortune’s first list of the World’s 50 Greatest Leaders includes a Hollywood actress, a baseball superstar, a teenage education advocate and the president of a small California college. It also includes a former American president, but the current one failed to make the cut.

Former President Bill Clinton ranks No. 5 on the list, selected for being a “relentless and forceful advocate” in numerous causes, but noticeably absent is one of his successors and the current leader of the free world.

President Barack Obama, here at a film screening on Wednesday, didn't make Fortune's list.

President Barack Obama, here at a film screening on Wednesday, didn't make Fortune's list.

"President Obama wasn't excluded from Fortune's World's 50 Greatest Leaders list,” Fortune said in a statement. “He simply didn't make this year's list of 50 outstanding individuals who have demonstrated rare leadership, leadership in multiple areas or who have demonstrated a long history of leading.”

The White House did not respond to an NBC request for comment.

Pope Francis ranked first among the world leaders for an attitude that has drawn more attention and admiration in just one year than any of his predecessors have over several decades.

Francis, who just celebrated his first anniversary as pontiff, has helped clean up the money-scandal that plagued the Vatican bank and has begun to address the church's child sexual abuse scandal. He also has "set a striking new tone through his personal example of modesty and inclusiveness — this is what a great leader does,” the magazine said about the Pontiff, who just months earlier was named Time's "Person of the Year."

Greetings and welcome, be advised that the pictures below have not been placed here to frighten anyone but to show support that these are all scriptural and is  apart of our daily lives. They cover a period of our history from the beginning all the way to the end of time. Such prophesies did Jehovah furnish The Prophet Daniel with so that we can learn from them and be updated as to where we are in regards to his coming. Remember: (John 8:36  If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.) Now is the precise time for us to do this: (Matt 25:7  Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.) Let us all awake and get busy to understand what is stated below, amen, amen.

The Lion – Babylon

612-539 B.C.

The first was like a lion, and had eagle's wings: I beheld till the wings thereof were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made stand upon the feet as a man, and a man's heart was given to it.

Daniel 7:4.

 

The Bear – Medo-Persia

539-331 B.C.

And behold another beast, a second, like to a bear, and it raised up itself on one side, and it had three ribs in the mouth of it between the teeth of it: and they said thus unto it, Arise, devour much flesh.

Daniel 7:5.

The Leopard – Greece

331-168 B.C.

After this I beheld, and lo another, like a leopard, which had upon the back of it four wings of a fowl; the beast had also four heads; and dominion was given to it.

Daniel 7:6.

The Dreadful Beast – Rome

168 B.C. – 476 A.D.

After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns.

Daniel 7:7.

Christ’s Kingdom to Come

 

Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world. John 1:29. {AG 15.1}

     To Daniel was given a vision of fierce beasts, representing the powers of the earth. But the ensign of the Messiah's kingdom is a lamb. While earthly kingdoms rule by the ascendancy of physical power, Christ is to banish every carnal weapon, every instrument of coercion. His kingdom was to be established to uplift and ennoble fallen humanity. {AG 15.2}
