VATICANUS: The Word & its Meaning = Vatican

DISCLAIMER: I read this here today so, unless told otherwise... I'm just going to believe that it's true:


VATICANUS: The Word & its Meaning from which is derived the word Vatican as in Vatican City the Imperial Seat of the Roman Caesars.

VATICAN is derived from two Latin words Vatic-anus.

VATIC-ANUS

VATIC- "Characteristic of a prophet; oracular" From Latin: vts, seer -ANUS "The opening at the lower end of the alimentary canal through which solid waste is eliminated from the body" From Latin: nus, ring, anus

VATIC- ANUS = VATICANUS = VATICAN

Fascinating, Darren! --- but from what I've seen (during some quick web-research) the "-anus" suffix here is probably *not* etymologically the "anus" of anatomy --- perhaps the reference you found is a an anti-Roman-Catholic joke (or satire, or serious critique?) ...

In any case, while browsing around I found http://www.christian-faith.net/RK/Vatican/Vatican.htm --- which seems to be a decent page that discusses the origins of the word "Vatican", and also includes a lot of other excellent information, plus fine images of some classic coins (yeah, I'm a numismatist, so I'm biased!)... ^z

No no no.

The suffix -anus indicates adoption, as evinced in Octavianus, adopted by Caesar, and later known as Augustus, the first official Roman Emperor. The Latin word anus generally referred to old women (as avus did old men). The word anulus more often had the posterior connotations.

VATICAN-US. the-US is the masculine ending...such as "stimul-us", as opposed to a "feminine" ending "stimul-a"...root of word stimulate. so if you were to be having a "stimulating conversation with a chick"..."conversa femina stimula". all "endings" must be in agreement except for verbs. theoretically the "us-a" is really just a place where the "men and women" of the word ended up. (ha, ha!)

The original meaning of VATICANUS read as follows:

The serpent of  sorcery, black magic and the occult.

Not surprising the "vatican of Rome" has snakes wrapped around the columns of their unholy pagan "altar".

By the way why would the Messiah to the nation of Israel put it's "headquarters" in Rome? Wouldn't He have put it in Jerusalem? And don't even try to tell me Peter is buried there. Have you read the Book of Acts?

No,no, no. Vaticanus was the spirit who presided over the birth cry of the newborn.

The opinion of Marlene is a common evangelical attack of the Roman Catholic Church, but misses any scientific basis; the name Vatican has nothing to do with catholic believe, it simple point to the Mount Vatican; the name of this mountain comes from the Latin word 'vates', which means something like 'prophet', (gen.pluralis of 'vatum'?). Mount of the prophets = mons vaticanus

I believe Marlene is right on, vaticanus refers to sorcerers and not prophets unless you perceive prophets as sorcerers. XD

if it doesn't  matter what "vaticanus" means, if it's "just" the name of a place, that name is a pagan name. so if the meaning of the word is not important, if it's just the way people called the place before christian faith became official, then why keep it? why not call it "mons christianus"? but if it wasn't only kept couse people got used to it, then the reasons for it's survival are two: either the pagan practices associated with it, or the meaning of the word. the roman church maintained a series of ancient roman names and titles: the Saint John Lateran church, wich is the cathedral of Rome, gets it's name from the Lateran family that donated the building to Constantine the great; one of the titles of the pope, "pontifex maximus" , comes from the emperors of Rome, wich were also pagan priests; ecc.

  now tell me, if paganism has nothing to do with maintaing these names and titles, then isn't the meaning of the words significative?

  so what does the name "vatican" stand for?

The word VATICAN comes from the 2 words

VATI and CAN meaning THE DIVINING DRAGON

The bible clearly states that the new world order will be a religio-political system which the dragon (Satan) gave its power to,  and the WHOLE world will wander after this beast (kingdom). It's sad to know that the papacy the roman catholic church will introduce will be this indeed. Deep study into the history of the catholic church will show its origins from Greece/ Medo-Persia and Babylonian worship.. simple put an ancient pagan religion. The “Onslaught Series” goes extremely deep into this topic.

and babylonian worship.. simple put an ancient pagon religion.

What is it with the anti-Catholicism in the answers? Have you people nothing else to rail against? Catholics are Christians just like any other, it's just that some differ on certain points of what to believe.So what?

One scholarly gentleman thinks the Vatican means "house of Cain."

Vati = House

Can - Cain

In French it is pronounced "Vaticain"

I'm trying to verify this. The writer of the Book Rulers Of Evil stated that his research led to the discovery that the mark of Cain was an eight point asterisk or two crosses, one on top of the other:

Jojo and Marlene have the right idea.

But whatever the word Vatican means does not matter but serves as a another clue to decipher the the church of the mother of all harlots and she will burn. Rejoice and praise Jesus.

P.Hunter said:

The word "Vaticanus" is either Latin or Etruscan.  The word is etymologically associated with the word "Vatic" which is a form of "Vates." "Vates" referred to a (pagan) priest who was involved in divinition (or predictions). From the word Vatican we also get the word "vaticinate" which means to divine, predict, or foretell.  Ancient priests of Rome have also been referred to as "augurs." These priests of divination used a staff called an auguur's staff or divining rod. This short staff, which was used by the Etruscans, was adopted by the bishops of Rome who to indicate that they were perpetuating the office of the ancient pagan priesthood.

I thing the bottom line to all of this discussion is that if you have any Catholic friends and you care about their salvation you should pass along this information to them. By the way I've recently discovered some of this information in a book entitled "Billy Graham and his Friend" by Cathy Burns I believe. The book also indicates that the United Nations building has a meditation room that all of the world's leader go to 'meditate' and get 'inspiration'. It is called by those in the 'in' crowd the 'holiest of holies'. It is entirely 'occultic' in design and nature.

Yup said:

Vatican city is named after the hill on which it sits, called Mons Vaticanus. The word Vaticanus is of uncertain etymology, and is likely Etruscan in origin. No reliable etymoloyg relates the divinatory implication. Separating the word Vatican into two words is poor etymology unless the root of the words is somehow certain. In this case, it's not. The hill was named long before the Roman church was placed there, and an etymological study of the word would necessarily have to take into account WHEN that name was applied to that area.

vatican  

means HILL   and the reason of setting {the Church}  up in Rome. that was the center of the world at the time. (All roads lead to Rome).

Why do you think the Christains were sacraficed in the arenas? because that was where Peter and paul were doing most of the conversions;  A

Vatican =

Vatis(fake prophet) + can(snake).

It means, the Snake's fake prophet and the snake is a Biblical symbol for Satan.

So,

Vatican = Satan!

I am still not satisfied with the ACTUAL  MEANING OF THE WORD Vatican.

I think i will e-mail Jordanmaxwell.com ,  since he has been doing in-depth research into the occult (or hidden) long before most of us were born.

Even if his answer is right on, i will continue my research from varied other sources.  Sounds to me like answer  will be an amalgamation of all and not just the ONE.

P.S Just when  you think you found the answer , it be best to dive again.

I would like to agree with all of the above but where are your sources for the meaning of the word Vatican?

When I teach people the above meanings I would like to point to a book and say this is what it means in Latin or what have you. Websites are good resources if they display where did they get there answers from but if it doesnt display that then I am back at the same question. email: Businesshurricane@gmail.com

Vatican means "seat of the serpent." Why did pope Paul the first die? He was poisoned. Why? He was going to expose the SATANIC corruption of the Vatican and the popes and the catholic church. Nimrod's wife is not to be worshipped, nor the "queen of heaven", nor the serpent, nor the sun. Now go to ANY picture of the inside of St.Pauls cathedral.... you'll find ALL OF THOSE ABOMINATIONS.
