Does Vatican really mean prophetic serpent?

[fmcginn]

The word 'vatican' comes from Latin and is a contraction of two words in the following way:
'Vatis' = 'profetic' or 'diviner' 'Can' = 'serpent/snake'
These two words combined make:
'the profetic- or made devine serpent'
The Vatican is a place, so you may say, that 'Vatican' means 'the place of the profetic- and worshipped serpent'.
Trying to translate 'divining serpent' into every-day-English I would say it means:
'A spiritual serpent that is worshipped as god'.

Ok. This seems like a stretch to me.

The Two Babylons

Thanks, Felicia, for the courage to post this thread of yours. It's quite an eye opener for sure.

"The Two Babylons" by Alexander Hislop is not an easy book to read, but if you can bear with it long enough, the book details the rituals and practices of the Roman Catholic Church and traces the harlot church's pagan origin way back to ancient Babylon. Go to: http://philologos.org/__eb-ttb/

Knowing the meaning of the word 'Vatican' no one will be surprised that the crest of the Vatican is 'a serpent-dragon', because that is exactly what the word 'vatican' says it means ánd what our Bible says in Revelation 12:9 'the dragon, the old serpent called devil or satan...'.
Of course there are many more ways to find out the true nature of 'the vatican'...!
