What should we make of the Papal aerial attack shown on the major newscasts yesterday? Surely nothing of consequence..., or should we?
But the rather unusual attack yesterday upon the two white doves, released by Pope Francis from his window, as a symbolic gesture of hope for world peace, and their subsequent brutal attack by first a seagull, and then a black crow could be seen as symbolic of God's warning to the world of some impending threat to world peace in the near future. I recognize that this surely seems to be grasping at straws, to make something out of nothing at all, but if ( as I discussed in a previous post) God is trying to get the attention of His people to warn them that He is about to do some great thing, that will start out as a great and dangerous evil before turning into a demonstration of His great mercy for His people, it would seem appropriate that He would use the format of the accepted thrown of the largest church in the world to make His point in a way that surely was beyond the control of the Pope, or anyone else for that matter. As protestant believers we should refer to this all as a mighty "coinkydink".
Next, how hard should we work to attach symbolic meaning to it all? Lets examine the facts: First, Pope Francis makes an innocent gesture that countless pontiffs before him have done, in releasing two white doves from his portico window before a large crowd awaiting mass. As the camera pulls back it captures the immediate attack, right in front of the portico by a seagull, and a black crow who began ripping the doves apart with their beaks and claws savagely. To my knowledge this is unprecedented ( and if I'm wrong I'd appreciate it if someone would correct me), and in connection with my previous discussion concerning the soon coming "Blood Moon" eclipses which I suggested might be God's way of warning us that He is about to allow the climactic "Gog/Magog" invasion of Israel to come to pass, perhaps followed by the "Rapture" of His Church, it strikes me that He could be using this "spontaneous" disruption of the papal ceremony to further demonstrate
that He is about to do something dramatic in the world, and that the whole church, regardless of denomination should wake up and pay attention. Remember there's only one denomination in Heaven, and it's called "Jesus". If so, that would tend to confirm my assumptions concerning the "Blood Moon" symbolism.
Next, we have the two symbols of peace being brutally, and innocently attacked. It might be that they could stand for the two most innocent nations that will suffer from the brutal Russian/Muslim Confederation attack: namely, Israel, and the U.S. Israel, because they are the object of the attack ( which God defeats), and the U.S., if my reasoning about a possible Nuclear interchange between us and Russia should follow the invasion's defeat ( preceded by the "Rapture"). The black crow would obviously symbolize the invading forces, with their obviously evil intentions. But the seagull has me a bit puzzled. It could easily represent a large Aircraft Carrier attack, since seagulls both swim and fly, like America's task forces in the area, but why against the doves rather than the crow, since America has always been Israel's staunch ally, and even our Muslim President couldn't get our forces to side with Russia, against Israel, or could he? However, he might betray Israel by standing by and offering Israel no help, which God would surely consider the same as being an active participant in the invasion ( which might actually be Obama's intent).
Oh well, this reasoning is probably all worthless nonsense, anyway. But I thought it might be fun to try and tie spiritual significance to it all, even if it is just a waste of time. What do you think??
