I don't think P = Payseur.
The pope sits in the chair. The chair serves the master. The chair is literally called the chair of St Peter. P = Peter.
In the OT, the right wing overshadows the "mercy seat".
Remember Jesus telling Peter "get behind me Satan! You are a stumbling block to me!"? Remember Jesus warning those who shut the door to the Kingdom of Heaven in peoples faces? Remember the lore that Peter guards the pearly gates? Well the gates of hell do not prevail. WWG1WGA
Some believe Peter is the messiah, born again. Remember scripture says Jesus was first born of the dead, and that people don't recognize the signs of the times. Jesus on the cross prayed saying He did not lose any of those given to Him, and that He was giving them the glory the Father gave Him.
If someone were born in the past, and taught themselves something, and that self taught the first self… well you get the idea. That's what some believe. Coincidentally, ever read Ezekiel 28? How was the King of Tyre in the garden?
> When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, “Who do people say the Son of Man is?”
>They replied, “Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets.”
>“But what about you?” he asked. “Who do you say I am?”
>Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.”
>Jesus replied, “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by flesh and blood, but by my Father in heaven. And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be[e] loosed in heaven.” Then he ordered his disciples not to tell anyone that he was the Messiah.
"Then he ordered his disciples not to tell anyone that he was the Messiah."
That can be taken in more than one way.
The word used for Peter in scripture meant stone, and in revelation a stone like a great millstone is thrown down.
"If anyone causes one of these little ones—those who believe in me—to stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea."
Jesus said blessed is He who does not stumble on account of me.
