Vatican Denies Pope In Coma
VATICAN CITY (AP) - Pope John Paul II suffered heart failure and was in "very grave" condition Friday, but he was lucid and spent the morning celebrating Mass and receiving top aides, asking one to read him the biblical account of Christ's Crucifixion and burial, the Vatican said.

Spokesman Joaquin Navarro-Valls choked up with tears as he told reporters about the pope's worsening condition. He said the 84-year-old pontiff had been "informed of the gravity of his situation" and rather than be hospitalized, he decided to stay in his apartment overlooking St. Peter's Square, where thousands of pilgrims gathered to pray for him.

Comments
News sources are reporting that Pope John Paul II could be in a coma, but the Vatican is denying it although they do say that his condition is very grave.  Whether the Pope will recover from this illness is up to the Lord. 

As I said in my last article I believe the office of the Pope could one day be filled by the coming false prophet.  That's not to say that the next Pope will be the false prophet but he could be.  It's just something to consider along with the timing of all the other events that have recently taken place.

It should be understood, when the rapture takes place, satan will be given a whole lot more rope to entangle himself with.  he (satan) will take it as his time to finally rule the universe but in the end will be defeated.  But before that happens he will deceive many and will possess at least two thus completing the unholy trinity.

Although many believe that he is at this time positioning the antichrist and the false prophet in world government it's really not necessary.  satan can and may possess these two men when needed as I believe he did Judas to betray Jesus.  We'll have to wait and see how it finally turns out.
