“The deadly wound was healed.” When General
Berthier, of France, took the Pope captive February 10, 1798, it brought an end
to Papal rule in Rome. The rule, which had lasted 1,260 literal years or 3-1/2
prophetic years came to an end, exactly as predicted in Daniel
7:24-26 and in Revelation
13:3.
Before continuing, let me explain how I arrived at
the 1,260 literal years of Catholic reign. The Jewish calendar was based on 30
day months. There were no odd months, such as January 31, as we have come to
know it.
Additionally, in prophetic calculations, a day was
equal to a prophetic year – see Ezekiel 4:6. Therefore, 3-1/2 years equal 42
months, which become 1,260 days; but when the “year for a day” prophecy is
applied, it becomes 1,260 prophetic years, which is the exact time of Rome’s
rule – 538 AD – 1798 AD.
But then this deadly wound was healed and we see the
beginning of the healing, as outlined below in the Lateran Concordat of 1929;
it is even referred to as such in the local paper. See for yourself:
Lateran
Concordat of 1929 – Papal Wound Healed!
On February 11th,
1929, an historic treaty was signed between the Italian Government and the
Vatican re-establishing the political power and diplomatic standing of the
Catholic Church, which had been lost when Italy seized Rome, the last of
the Papal
States, on September 20th, 1870.

ROME, Feb. 11.—The Pope is again an independent
sovereign ruler, as he was throughout the Middle Ages, though his temporal
realm, established today, is the most microscopic independent State in the
world, and probably the smallest in all history. — THE NEW YORK
TIMES, Tuesday, February 12, 1929.
