Question 13 (point 6)
Point 6 says the Beast receives a deadly wound after 42 months that heals. Does the Papacy fit this description?
Bible
Revelation 13:3
Answer
The Papacy began it's rule in 538 AD. The Bible said that the Beast would receive a deadly wound after 1260 years. After 1260 years the Papacy received a deadly wound. When you add 1260 years to 538 AD, it comes to 1798 AD. Was the Pope wounded to death in 1798? Yes. In 1798 Napoleon entered Rome and abolished the Papacy. Encyclopedia Britanica 1941 wrote about this historic event; “Napoleon’s general Alexandre Berthier made his entrance into Rome (in 1798), abolished the Papal government and established a secular one.” Berthier took the pope captive in 1798. He was taken back to France where he died later that same year. Then, 131 years later, the pope was reinstated back into his office when Mussolini and Cardinal Gasparri signed the Lateran treaty in 1929 making Vatican City an independent Nation.

Does the Roman Catholic Papacy fit point #6? Did it rule for 1260 years then receive a deadly wound that healed?
