Alberto Rivera the ex Jesuit priest said that its sign was to be given to the Jesuits of the World when they had conquered every single Church in America. He said that this sign was to be an American president signed in for the first time facing the Giant Obelisk called the Washington Monument (as is documented in the chick tract known as the Godfathers). This indeed did occur sometime after with the swearing-in of Ronald Reagan, who in time, would go on to re-establish diplomatic relationships with the papacy, the sheet of whom the Bible calls that man of sin. |
