Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. 3 John 2
Found in the field of the Bible, and to be discovered as a hidden treasure to obtain at all costs, is a very extensive message of health. In it are ways to better physical health, mental health, spiritual health, a description of genetics, of disease, of bodily functions, and more. The aim is to give the body the best possible conditions to allow itself to heal, for the body is self-healing by design.
In addition to grounding, everyone can benefit from the free and simple remedies found in partnership with the creation and its Creator, as described in the eight laws of health: Pure Air, Sunlight, Temperance, Rest, Exercise, Proper Diet, the Intelligent use of Water, and trust in the Divine; these are the true remedies.
Comment-length permitting, let us do a short study on some of these remedies:
Fresh Air and the Breathe of Life
And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. Genesis 2:7
The very first thing which we were given was a breath, and the last thing that we give back is the very same breath. First given through the nostrils, each breathe we take influences every facet of our life. Nasal breathing expands the lungs, develops the diaphragm, floods the body with oxygen, stimulates immune responses, helps regulate chemicals in the brains and control the hormones in the body, and more. But mouth breathing deforms the jaw, causes periodontal disease, leads to cavities, starves the brain of oxygen, and is the root of many pulmonary diseases, and disease in general. Nasal breathing, the designed way of breathing, increases the quality and longevity of life.
Inhaling creates a negative pressure in the chest, drawing blood into the heart. Exhaling then aids in the blood recirculating into the body. Breathe too much, or breathe too little, and the acid levels in the body change to an uncomfortable level. To combat this, the body releases chemicals and minerals to regulate the blood-acid levels. Breathe irregularly for too long, and the body will become deficient in minerals, contracting any disease which does follow.
The asthmatic, with proper breathing, will have significantly fewer symptoms, or even no symptoms at all. Breathe slowly in through the nose, exhale thoroughly out through the nose, with straight posture and closed mouth. Strengthen the mouth with adequate chewing, and exercise the diaphragm with long breathing. Every breath that we take gives life to the heart, and to the blood, which we will soon see as the life of our flesh.
Sunshine
Truly the light is sweet, and a pleasant thing it is for the eyes to behold the sun: Ecclesiastes 11:7
Let us learn of some benefits of having the eyes behold the sun. When the eyes are first exposed to the sun, the brain assesses the strength of the sun and closes receptor sites on the skin to prevent over-exposure and burn. Be careful when wearing sun glasses, as they will prevent this message from coming to the brain.
Melanopsin, a receptor site on the eye, is not involved with sight, but is very involved with brain function. In absorbing blue light from the sun, melanopsin increases tactical reasoning and the ability to solve mathematical problems.
The eyes are an extension of the brain, allowing the rays of the sun to travel through neurochemical pathways in the brain, stimulating the pineal gland, helping with sleep, and boosting seratonin levels for a happier mood.
Allowing the eyes to behold the first hour of sunshine in the day will reset the circadian rhythm. This rhythm, essential for sleep, is set by light and dark signals fed through the optic nerve, into a control signal in the brain.
Temperance and an Understanding of Cause and Effect
As the bird by wandering, as the swallow by flying, so the curse causeless shall not come. Proverbs 26:2
There is a cause for everything, and the knowledge of that cause comes with understanding. As an example, let us reason from cause to effect as we look at the connection between heart disease and LDL cholesterol, commonly called “bad” cholesterol.
In the lining of blood vessels are endothelial cells, which help regulate blood flow, among many other things. Exposure to environmental toxins, for example, will damage these endothelial cells. In response, the liver will make LDL cholesterol to repair the damage. However, with diets high in hybridized wheat and carbohydrates, the glucose flowing through the blood vessels get stuck with protein molecules, become sticky, then stick and clump on the layers of LDL cholesterol busy repairing the damage to the endothelial cells.
Does it make sense that the liver would produce LDL cholesterol, commonly called “bad” cholesterol, in order to fix us, but it would be harmful to us? So what is high LDL really an indicator of? Damage that needs repairing in a body that is not in the right conditions for repair.
Today’s commonly used cholesterol medication will block the pathway that the liver uses to make LDL cholesterol. The liver would use this same pathway, now blocked, to make CoQ10, necessary for brain health, energy creation, and general cell health.
Only our body is capable of healing itself, and our body is constantly healing itself, but to make a proper recovery we must put it in a healthful environment with sun, fresh air, water, exercise, sleep, a proper diet, temperance, and faith in the invisible workings throughout the body.
A Proper Diet
Satiety and Digestion
And the people spake against God, and against Moses, Wherefore have ye brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? for there is no bread, neither is there any water; and our soul loatheth this light bread. Numbers 21:5
Satiety, a full-feeling stomach, is not an indicator of a nutritious meal. Rather, it is an indicator of undigested food. The mouth contains salivary amylase, an enzyme which breaks down starches and carbohydrates, and lingual lipase, an enzyme which breaks down saturated fats. Babies should not be fed any carbohydrates or starches until the molars grow in, as this is when the mouth will start to produce the salivary amylase. Failing to chew these types of food for a long enough time causes the food to enter the stomach without being digested thoroughly. The stomach itself only breaks down protein, and the pancreas releases pancreatic lipase meant to break down small left-overs.
Feeling full of food, rather than full of energy, is from improper digestion. If drinking during a meal, the stomach acidity won’t be high enough to break down the food in the stomach. If snacking between meals, the digestion in the stomach will be stopped as new food is added to undigested food. If eating too frequently, digestion in the stomach will not finish, and the food will ferment.
The stomach acid, being hydrochloric acid, is made by the liver which only makes as much acid as the day before. Stress will send a message from the brain to stop the production of hydrochloric acid, dehydration will lower acid levels, and not having at least 4-6 hours of rest between meals will disrupt digestion. So too will alcohol and other toxins.
Just as cholesterol medication is a detriment, so too are anti-acids. Heart burn and acid reflux are from the rising contents in the stomach, not from an over-acidic stomach. High levels of stress, low stomach acidity, over-eating, dehydration, and anything else contributing to poorly digested of food should be regulated, not the addition of a digestion-harming anti-acid.
Whole Foods
What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. Mark 10:9
Salt, for example, is meant to be whole, not an extraction or isolation. The first minerals evaporated from sea water, sodium and chloride, are scooped out and sold as table salt. Leaving the salt as it was designed, the harshness of sodium chloride is regularly buffered by the other minerals found in the salt. Without this buffering, the sodium chloride destroys natural taste buds, creating a feeling of needing more and more table salt during meals.
Being a whole sale, sea salt itself contains 92 minerals, with the mineral makeup being so similar to that in our body, that sea water can be used, and is used, for blood transfusions. Where you look with an intent to find, you will see the Finger of design in everything.
Red Blood Cells, White Blood Cells, and the Effects of Toxic Protein Sources
For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul. Leviticus 17:11
Blood cells are primarily produced in the gut. Through digestion, food is turned into blood, which is then used for the continual health and repair of the body. The food that we eat becomes the blood carried through our bodies. Red blood cells carry the four vital elements for life: oxygen, water, sodium, and potassium. Red blood cells not only carry these elements, but nutrients, water, and waste. Perfect health will require perfect blood circulation.
Only be sure that thou eat not the blood: for the blood is the life; and thou mayest not eat the life with the flesh. Deuteronomy 12:23
Remember, red blood cells carry waste, so eating the blood of an animal is eating their waste. We find that the countries with the highest consumption of meat and dairy also have the highest incidences of bone diseases. Why is this?
First, let us talk about calcium and bones. Bones are made of not only calcium, but of 12 main minerals and 64 trace minerals. Calcium, when moving from one place to another, will drag other minerals with it. Calcium is also one of the most alkaline minerals, while sulfur is one of the most acidic minerals. Why is this important?
The body works to maintain certain acid/alkaline levels, and will use calcium to neutralize sulfur. When consuming dairy, the protein is about 58% fuel and 42% sulfur waste. Any calcium that is naturally present in the dairy will be used to neutralize the sulfur waste, rather than being absorbed into the body.
Furthermore, the protein will also produce sulfur waste, causing the body to use its own calcium stores to neutralize the sulfur. Remember that calcium drags other minerals with it! When calcium leaves the bones to neutralize the acidity, it drags along the 12 main minerals and 64 trace minerals. As a dirty burning fuel, the protein content in meat produces this same sulfur waste. Cheese, the worst culprit among all dirty burning fuel sources, is wholly unfit for food.
For a completely secular source coming to the same exact conclusions, feel free to read "The China Study": https://archive.org/details/the-china-study-revised-and-expanded-edition-the-most-comprehensive-study-of-nut.
And for a completely Biblical source arriving at the same conclusions, over a hundred years prior, and with no formal medical nor nutritional education, feel free to read "The Ministry of Healing": https://archive.org/details/ministryofhealin00whitrich.
And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat. Genesis 1:29
The more we study into the health message, the more it becomes abundantly clear that everything prescribed for us from the Great Physician is for our best interests. From time immemorial comes instructions for building a spirit of health and a sound mind, but the teachings and traditions of the world, the hegelian dialectic being played at the level of diet, works day and night to keep the world blind to these spiritual truths.
The question is a lot more loaded than it seems, and truly requires a study of Daniel and the Revelation to make sense of it, but hopefully at least a frame can be created in this comment. If you want to fill the frame and see the beautiful picture painted by Biblical prophecy, then this video series is a wonderful starting point (episode 9 specifically deals with the seven trumpets): https://archive.org/details/walter-veith-total-onslaught-series
If talking of anything from the Bible, then we must allow the Bible to interpret itself. If someone does not know an english word, they will look it up in an english dictionary. The Bible not only contains its own language, but is too its own dictionary.
The seven trumpets of the Revelation coincide with the seven churches and the seven seals, all giving different details to the same time period being described. The Revelation itself is written as a chiasm, where there is a portion written historic continuous, a climax of events, then an eschatological (end-time) portion written opposite the historical portion. The seven trumpets are in the historic portion, describing consecutive periods of history, but each with their own eschatological message.
The Seven Trumpets
Blow the trumpet in Zion, sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly: Gather the people, sanctify the congregation, assemble the elders, gather the children, and those that suck the breasts: let the bridegroom go forth of his chamber, and the bride out of her closet. Let the priests, the ministers of the Lord, weep between the porch and the altar, and let them say, Spare thy people, O Lord, and give not thine heritage to reproach, that the heathen should rule over them: wherefore should they say among the people, Where is their God? Joel 2:15-17
Trumpets were associated with messages of warning, or of judgment, which always lead to a self-reflection and meditation on the Word. Speaking of the seven trumpets, they all coincide with messages of warning, and a call to sanctification, in their corresponding sections of prophetic time prophesied in the Bible.
The First Trumpet
The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up. Revelation 8:7
The first trumpet coincides with the fall of Jerusalem in A.D. 70, matching the time of the first church of the Revelation.
The Second Trumpet
And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood; And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed. Revelation 8:8-9
The second trumpet represents pagan rome absorbing babylonian philosophies from greece during the time period of the second church, from 100-313 A.D.
The Third Trumpet
And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters; And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter. Revelation 8:10-11
The third trumpet represents a time of compromise and spiritual death, a time of syncretism until 538 A.D.; wormwood is affiliated with idolatry/apostasy:
And ye have seen their abominations, and their idols, wood and stone, silver and gold, which were among them:) Lest there should be among you man, or woman, or family, or tribe, whose heart turneth away this day from the Lord our God, to go and serve the gods of these nations; lest there should be among you a root that beareth gall and wormwood; Deuteronomy 29:17-18
The Fourth Trumpet
And the fourth angel sounded, and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars; so as the third part of them was darkened, and the day shone not for a third part of it, and the night likewise. Revelation 8:12
The fourth trumpet represents the marriage of the church and paganism, a time of spiritual darkness as the traditions of the world tried to extinguish the light of Christ. Darkness is associated with a lack of knowledge, a lack of understanding, of the Word:
Therefore night shall be unto you, that ye shall not have a vision; and it shall be dark unto you, that ye shall not divine; and the sun shall go down over the prophets, and the day shall be dark over them. Then shall the seers be ashamed, and the diviners confounded: yea, they shall all cover their lips; for there is no answer of God. Micah 3:6-7
The fourth trumpet speaks of a time when humanity was almost brought to the brink of losing sight of Christ:
I am come a light into the world, that whosever believeth on me should not abide in darkness. John 12:46
This period would last until the early 1500s.
The Fifth Trumpet
And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit. And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit. And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power. Revelation 9:1-3
The fifth trumpet sounded during the reformation, from 1517-1798. Here it represents a numbering of Satan's followers in the beginning of a final increase in evil.
The Sixth Trumpet
And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God, Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates. Revelation 9:13-14
The sixth trumpet sounded from 1798-1844 A.D. The influences of Babylon would be let loose to the world, as the Euphrates was the river which sustained ancient babylon. Look up the year 1844 and we will find a flurry of new inventions and ideas which not only attack the teachings of the Bible, but also allow messages to be spread to the world.
And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men. And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred thousand thousand: and I heard the number of them. Revelation 9:15-16
There is also a time prophecy here, taking each day for a year, exactly 391 years and 15 days from when the Sultan would give up his throne over the Ottomans, on August 11 of 1840 the Ottomon empire would officially come to an end. With the fall of the Ottoman empire, the spiritual Babylonian power would begin to rear its head fully.
The Seventh Trumpet
And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever. Revelation 11:15
This is the time of now; not the second trumpet, but the seventh trumpet. It is to say that in spite of all the evil building up its forces throughout the centures, that during this time when evil will be at its highest, God was, is, and always will be, in control.
But there is still a message being sent, and one that is to be heard at the climax of the chiasm, which the sound of the trumpets swell into:
The First Angel's Message
And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people, Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters. Revelation 14:6-7
The everlasting Gospel, the unchanging good news of salvation in Jesus Christ, is to be preached to the ends of the world. The whole world, every nation, kindred, tongue, and people, are to hear the language of the Bible. Announcing the hour of God's judgment with a loud voice, the first angel is a call for everyone to, with correct understanding, revere and worship our Creator. This is not by force, but as a consequence of beginning and wanting to understand the love of God:
Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. 1 John 3:1
This requires listening to the sound of the trumpet, to have prayerful and personal study of the Bible, to meditate on the Word of God.
The Second Angel's Message
And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication. Revelation 14:8
The word for fallen is piptō: metaphorically to fall under judgment, to come under condemnation. Continuing from the first angel’s message, the second angel's message announces the coming of judgment against the apostasy of Babylon as a false religious system.
The church that is at Babylon, elected together with you, saluteth you; and so doth Marcus my son. 1 Peter 5:13
Babylon did not physically exist during the time of Peter; he is referring to Rome as spiritual Babylon, referring to the feet of iron absorbing the religion from the head of gold in the dream of Nebuchadnezzar. This is really where the study of Daniel, alongside the Revelation, is paramount.
It is important to note that there is a church at Babylon, but at this point in time the church itself does not represent Babylon. In the unfolding of time, as the churches began to take after the mindset of Babylon, as the trumpets would sound but their notes left unheard, they too would fall under the judgment given in the three angel's messages.
The Third Angel's Message
And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name. Revelation 14:9-11
The third angel's message is a proclamation of the plan of salvation in keeping the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus Christ (Revelation 14:12-13). Just as the first two angels, the third angel speaks of worship and judgment.
A mark is a mark of authority (Exodus 13:9,13, Genesis 4:15). To be received in the forehead, or in the hand, means that the beast does not care whether people think accordingly, or act accordingly, as long as they submit accordingly, to worship of the beast. The mark of the beast is a counterfeit to the mark of God's authority, which is a living principle, carried out by choice, marking both the thoughts and the actions (Exodus 13:9). The wrath poured without mixture is judgment poured without mercy (Psalm 89:14). The ascending smoke is the eternal consequence of the decision to not enter into the rest of God (2 Peter 2:6). The image of the beast is the system which confers all power unto the beast (Revelation 13:15).
And all of the sound and calls culminate into a call of separation from spiritual Babylon, from the system of papal rome which was, as pagan rome, adopting the mindset of Babylon during the second trumpet:
And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. Revelation 18:4
Freemasonry is another order of the system of Roman Catholicism. Masonry, at its foundation, is a military order.
Richard Levy in Antisemitism: A historical encyclopedia of prejudice and persecution says:
The Jacobins currently terrorizing France, Barruel argued in his preface, could not have appeared out of thin air...The principal authors of the conspiracy, he claimed, were Voltaire, Jean-le-Rond d'Alembert, and King Frederick of Prussia, who had secretly planned to destroy Christianity...These 'sophists' had formed an alliance with the Freemasons, whose antireligious conspirital origins Barruel traced back to the medieval Knights Templars. The final and most utterly evil group in this triple conspiracy, however, were the Bavarian Illuminati, under their satanic leader Adam Weishaupt. Jacobinism had emerged out of the union of these three groups.
The highest source in freemasonry is Albert Pike’s Morals and Dogma. From the original book, let us have masonry describe itself and its roman catholicism:
The Templars [the origin of freemasonry], like all other Secret Orders and Associations, had two doctrines, one concealed and one reserved for the Masters, which was Johannism; the other public, which was the Roman Catholic.
When someone gets knighted, or inducted into their system, it is a symbol acknowledging a "job well done" in working for their general, in pushing for the hegelian synthesis of opposing ideas. But who is the general of freemasonry? Let us go to the roman catholic encyclopedia, and see what they have to say about the Knights Templars:
The Knights Templars were the earliest founders of the military orders, and are the type on which the others are modeled.
So if freemasonry is a model of the knights templars, all being tentacles of the system of roman catholicism, then the general of freemasonry must be dispensing the teachings of rome:
Strange and mysterious name given to the spirit of darkness! Lucifer, the son of the morning! Is it he who bears the light, and with its splendors intolerable blinds feeble, sensual, or selfish souls? Doubt it not!
- Albert Pike, Morals and Dogma
And what does Satan Teach:
And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. Genesis 3:4-5
The immortality of the soul, which is present in every single religion of the world. So too does the parent system of freemasonry, roman catholicism, teach this:
Roman Catholic Catechism 366 (the OFFICIAL teaching of the system of rome)
The Church teaches that every spiritual soul is created immediately by God — it is not "produced" by the parents — and also that it is immortal: it does not perish when it separates from the body at death, and it will be reunited with the body at the final Resurrection.
But what does the Bible teach?
His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish. For the grave cannot praise thee, death can not celebrate thee: they that go down into the pit cannot hope for thy truth. For in death there is no remembrance of thee: in the grave who shall give thee thanks? As the cloud is consumed and vanisheth away: so he that goeth down to the grave shall come up no more. He shall return no more to his house, neither shall his place know him any more. The dead praise not the Lord, neither any that go down into silence. Psalm 146:4, Isaiah 38:18, Psalms 6:5, Job 7:9-10, Psalms 115:17
Death is the return of the breathe of life to the Breather of life. Only God has immortality, and only God has life to give. Man, formed as a living soul comprised of dust and a breathe, returns to dust as the last breath is returned to its Breather. To us, death may seem frightful and permanent, but in the Lord, death only need be a short sleep.
And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. These things said he: and after that he saith unto them, Our friend Lazarus sleepeth; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep. Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well. Howbeit Jesus spake of his death: but they thought that he had spoken of taking of rest in sleep. Then said Jesus unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead. Genesis 2:7, John 11:11-14
Understand that this is a battle for the minds, and that even if the system of roman catholicism threatens excommunication, is that truly what they represent?
Masonry, like all the religions, all the Mysteries, Hermeticism and Alchemy, conceals its secrets from all except the Adepts and Sages, or the elect, and uses false explanations and misinterpretations of its symbols to mislead those who deserve only to be misled; to conceal the Truth, which it calls Light, from them and to draw them away from it.
- Albert Pike, Morals and Dogma
These systems are not based on the Bible, but based on tradition:
Catechism of the Roman Catholic Church 1161
[The roman catholic church is] following the divinely inspired teaching of our holy Fathers and the tradition of the Catholic Church.
Catechism of the Roman Catholic Church 82
As a result the Church, to whom the transmission and interpretation of Revelation is entrusted, “does not derive her certainty about all revealed truths from the holy Scriptures alone. Both Scripture and Tradition must be accepted and honored with equal sentiments of devotion and reverence.”
And a brainchild of this tradition of roman catholicism, masonry, traces itself back to Nimrod:
John T. Lawrence, author of “The Perfect Ashlar”, says:
At the making of the Tower of Babel there was Masonry first much esteemed of, and... Nimrod was a mason himself and loved Masons.
John Yarker of “The Arcane Schools” says:
It is well known that the Tower of Babel was one of the most ancient traditions of Masonry...
Arthur Edward Waite in “A New Encyclopedia of Freemasonry” says:
As regards Masonry, the Babel of course represented a Masonic enterprise...
And masonry, a product of the roman catholic knights templars, traces its origins directly to Satan:
Kenneth R.H. MacKenzie in “The Royal Masonic Cyclopedia” says:
..Hermes was one of the founders of Masonry...
With Blavatsky, founder of Theosophy and conspirator with Pike, in “Isis Unveiled, Vol 1” defining Hermes as Satan:
Hermes, the god of wisdom, called also Thoth, Tat, Seth, Set and Sat-an; and that he was, furthermore, when viewed under his bad aspect, Typhon, the Egyptian Satan, who was also Set.
But what does the Bible say about all these traditions, the rites and the liturgies, the mass and the rosary, all of these traditions creating experiences to link the world in ecumenism, in a one world government, in a new world order, which declares the form of religion, but denies the power thereof:
Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth. And now I say unto you, Refrain from these men, and let them alone: for if this counsel or this work be of men, it will come to nought: And it came to pass, as he spake these things, a certain woman of the company lifted up her voice, and said unto him, Blessed is the womb that bare thee, and the paps which thou hast sucked. But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it. 1 Timothy 4:1-3, Acts 5:38, Luke 11:27-28
The forbidding to marry, the abstaining from food, the worship of the creature (woman) over the Creator, is that not all found in the traditions of roman catholicism, spread to the world through masonry and their ilk?
Then came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees, which were of Jerusalem, saying, Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread. He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me. Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do. And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition. Matthew 15:1-2, Mark 7:6-9
There is a call to come out and be separate from such systems, but if the system is not identified, then how will the call be heard?
And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities. Revelation 18:4-5
That's a very astute observation, and it makes sense that reading the official writings and teachings of roman catholicism reminds one of islam, because islam is the brain child of roman catholicism.
Mohammad Mustafa was born in 570 A.D. and died in 632 A.D. Mohammad married Khadija when he was 25, and she was 40. Her cousin Waraquah was a Roman Catholic Meccan, and Khadija herself came from a roman catholic convent, being akin to a nun.
Understanding that a woman is representative of a church (Ephesians 5:25), the church of islam is roman catholicism. It is not about the muslim person, or the catholic person, but about the mindset which the system that they belong to share. This is a battle for the minds, and is it not a curious thing that almost anywhere there is an islamic mosque, so too is there a roman catholic cathedral?
Want to see this connection in the signs and symbols? Look no further than the Baal-Hadad form of sun worship, shown throughout archaeology as a disk in a crescent. What shape is the roman catholic host? And where is that host inserted? What shape is the monstrance? When the host is placed within the monstrance, why does it appear as a disk in a crescent? Why is the symbol of islam the very same crescent moon and sun? Freemasonry, another brain child of the system behind roman catholicism, openly teaches this as well:
The crescent and disk combined always represent the conjunctive sun and moon
- Albert Pike, founder of Freemasonry, in the guidebook to Freemasonry, Morals and Dogma.
Do investigative journalism O'Keefe-style with any grandmason of a masonic lodge, and they will tell you that they have three books in their lodge, the Bible, the Pentateuch, and the Koran, but only one of them contains their true teachings. Or read it from albert pike himself:
The Bible is an indispensable part of the furniture of a Christian Lodge, only because it is the sacred book of the Christian religion. The Hebrew Pentateuch in a Hebrew Lodge, and the Koran in a Mohammedan one, belong on the Alter; and one of these, and the Square and Compass, properly understood, are the Great Lights by which a Mason must walk and work.
Again, it is not about the roman catholic, or the muslim, or the jewish, but about the mindset which is behind all of these systems. This is the invisible enemy which fights not for the body, but for the mind, for freedom of choice is the most prized possession, paid for by the blood of the Lamb.
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Ephesians 6:12
Now if a little bit of symbolism is not convincing enough, and there is plenty, plenty more, why not read, just as the comment did for roman catholicism, the official teachings of islam? Is there truly a connection between the two beyond the signs and symbols?
Death and Hell
In Islam:
Sura 3:169. Think not of those who are slain in Allah.s way as dead. Nay, they live, finding their sustenance in the presence of their Lord;
Sura 2.81. Indeed, those who earn sins and become surrounded by their evil work will be the dwellers of Hell; they abide in it forever.
Sura 4.56. Indeed, those who disbelieve in Our verses - We will drive them into a Fire. Every time their skins are roasted through We will replace them with other skins so they may tase the punishment. Indeed, Allah is ever Exalted in Might and Wise.
In Roman Catholicism:
Roman Catholic Catechism 366 - The Church teaches that every spiritual soul is created immediately by God — it is not "produced" by the parents — and also that it is immortal: it does not perish when it separates from the body at death, and it will be reunited with the body at the final Resurrection.
Roman Catholic Catechism 1035 - The teaching of the Church affirms the existence of hell and its eternity. Immediately after death the souls of those who die in a state of mortal sin descend into hell, where they suffer the punishments of hell, eternal fire.
Catechetical Lectures 18:19 - ...but if a man is a sinner, he shall receive an eternal body, fitted to endure the penalties of sins, that he may burn eternally in fire, nor ever be consumed.
These two doctrines, the immmortality of the soul and the concept of hell, are not only the same in islam and roman catholicism, but they are absolutely contrary to the Bible:
And he caused his children to pass through the fire in the valley of the son of Hinnom: also he observed times, and used enchantments, and used witchcraft, and dealt with a familiar spirit, and with wizards: he wrought much evil in the sight of the Lord, to provoke him to anger. 2 Chronicles 33:6
The word hell is translated from two different words; first from the Hebrew שְׁאֹל, pronounced "sheh-ole'" the second from the Greek gehenna. Gehenna comes from the combination of two Hebrew words, gai and hinnom, meaning "Valley of Hinnom" as we see above. This term originally referred to a valley on the south side of Jerusalem in which pagan deities were worshipped. Shehole, also translated into hades, simply means the grave.
Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel? Ezekiel 33:11
The image of a wrathful deity protrayed by both Islam and Roman Catholicism is not the God of the Bible, but the very same gods as those who sacrificed children to the pagan deities in the Valley of Hinnom. There is no "eternal body of suffering", for everything bad will be consumed and vanish away into smoke, into ashes (Psalm 37:20; 92:7). The only thing eternal are the consequences seen on the body of the only begotten Son of God, Jesus Christ.
What about the state of the soul? Without immortality of the soul, the tradition of hell can not exist, so what does the Bible teach?
His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish. For the grave cannot praise thee, death can not celebrate thee: they that go down into the pit cannot hope for thy truth. For in death there is no remembrance of thee: in the grave who shall give thee thanks? As the cloud is consumed and vanisheth away: so he that goeth down to the grave shall come up no more. He shall return no more to his house, neither shall his place know him any more. The dead praise not the Lord, neither any that go down into silence. Psalm 146:4, Isaiah 38:18, Psalms 6:5, Job 7:9-10, Psalms 115:17
And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. These things said he: and after that he saith unto them, Our friend Lazarus sleepeth; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep. Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well. Howbeit Jesus spake of his death: but they thought that he had spoken of taking of rest in sleep. Then said Jesus unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead. Genesis 2:7, John 11:11-14
Death is the return of the breathe of life to the Breather of life. Only God has immortality, and only God has life to give. Man, formed as a living soul comprised of dust and a breathe, returns to dust as the last breath is returned to its Breather. To us, death may seem frightful and permanent, but in the Lord, death only need be a short sleep.
Let us continue:
Salvation
In Islam:
Sura 9:20. Those who believe, and emigrate and strive with might and main, in Allah's cause, with their goods and their persons have the highest rank in the sight of Allah: they are the people who will achieve (salvation).
Sura 2:277. Those who believe, and do deeds of righteousness, and establish regular plrayers and regular charity, will have their reward with their Lord: on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve.
Sura 16:93. If Allah so willed, He could make you all one people: But He leaves straying whom He pleases, and He guides whom He pleases: but ye shall certainly be called to account for all your actions.
In Roman Catholicism:
Ex Cathedra Statementds made at the Council of Trent, VI, Canon 9. If anyone says that the sinner is justified by faith alone, meaning that nothing else is required to cooperate in order to obtain the grace of justification, and that it is not in any way necessary that he be prepared and disposed by the action of his own will, let him be anathema.
Canon 24.
If anyone says that justice received is not preserved and also not increased before God through good works, but that those works are merely fruits and signs of justification obtained, not the cause of its increase, let him be anathema.
Roman Catholic Catechism 1477 - This treasury includes as well the prayers and good works of the Blessed Virgin Mary. They are truly immense, unfathomable, and even pristine in their value before God. In the treasury, too, are the prayers and good works of all the saints, all those who have followed in the footsteps of Christ the Lord and by his grace have made their lives holy and carried out the mission the Father entrusted to them. In this way they attained their own salvation and at the same time cooperated in saving their brothers in the unity of the Mystical Body.
Just as in the teachings of death and hell, both islam and roman catholicism portray the arbitrary pagan deities worshipped in the Valley of Hinnom; salvation becomes an issue of works, of merit and deed of the person, of sacrificing children through the fire, rather than being justified by faith alone, and being sanctified by grace alone, in Jesus Christ alone.
In the Bible:
Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified. And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then it is no more grace: otherwise work is no more work. For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began, For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith. Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. Galatians 2:16, Romans 11:6, Ephesians 2:8-9, 2 Timothy 1:9, Romans 1:17, Acts 4:12
Everything stated is in their own words, their own actions, and put up against that which is directly said in the Bible. Separate the message from the messenger, read the message in its entirety, and decide which message to represent.
My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children. Hosea 4:6
If people do not understand the true history of the world, as filtered only through the Bible, then how will humanity hear this call? How will people know what system, what mindset, to come out of?
And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. Revelation 18:14
Donald Trump’s mentor was Norman Vincent Peele, who he was also mentor to people such as Robert Schuller. On Peele, a 33rd degree freemason, Trump has the following to say:
I still remember [Peale’s] sermons,... You could listen to him all day long. And when you left the church, you were disappointed it was over. He was the greatest guy. And Albert Pike, founder of freemasonry, has the following to say: Strange and mysterious name given to the spirit of darkness! Lucifer, the son of the morning! Is it he who bears the light, and with its splendors intolerable blinds feeble, sensual, or selfish souls? Doubt it not!
And Blavatsky, conspirator with freemasonry and founder of theosophy, in one of her books titled “The Secret Doctrine” says:
There is a whole philosophy of dogmatic craft in the reason why the first Archangel, who sprang from the depths of Chaos, was called Lux (Lucifer), the ‘Luminous Son of the Morning,’ or man-vantaric Darn. He was transformed by the Church into Lucifer or Satan, because he is higher and older then Jehovah, and had to be sacrificed to the new dogma... Jehovah -- esoterically (as Elohim) -- is also the Serpent or Dragon that tempted Eve, and the “Dragon” is an old glyph for “Astral Light” (Primordial Principle), “which is the Wisdom of Chaos.
Theosophy and Freemasonry are purely Satanic. But what were the teachings of norman vincent peele like? A student of Peele, Robert Schuller taught the following in his book titled “Self-Esteem: The New Reformation”:
The church’s problem is that it has had a God-centered theology for centuries, when it needs a men-centered one.”
This is the same exact sentiment taught by Trump’s former spiritual advisor, Paula White, who herself is a preacher in the roman-catholic-connected Charismatic movement, and served in his “Evangelical Executive Advisory Board” during his first presidency.
Directly connecting this theology with roman catholicism, specifically through the Vatican II council, priest and jesuit Malachi Martin writes the following in “Keys of this Blood”:
Pope Paul VI told the bishops that ‘their church had decided to opt for man; to serve man, to help him build his home on this earth. Man with his ideas and his aims, man with his hopes and his fears, man in his difficulties and suffering - that was the centerpiece of the church’s interest, said the pontiff to his bishop’.
The world has been pushing this man-centered theology, the doctrine of Satan, since the beginning of time:
And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. Genesis 3:4-5
Remember, Trump has been pictured kneeling at roman catholic cathedrals, for they do not have churches, but cathedrals, for the podium is an altar, and beneath every church are the bones of men. But what else does roman catholicism have to say? Are they in harmony with the Bible? What does it mean to be a Christian?
Catechism of the Roman Catholic Church (their OFFICIAL teaching) 2080, 1161:
The Decalogue contains a privileged expression of the natural law. It is made known to us by divine revelation and by human reason. [it is] Following the divinely inspired teaching of our holy Fathers and the tradition of the Catholic Church.
Catechism of the Roman Catholic Church 82:
As a result the Church, to whom the transmission and interpretation of Revelation is entrusted, “does not derive her certainty about all revealed truths from the holy Scriptures alone. Both Scripture and Tradition must be accepted and honored with equal sentiments of devotion and reverence.”
What does the Bible have to say about that?
For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: Matthew 5:18, Revelation 22:18
But are there examples of roman catholicism claiming to change the law?
Catechism of the Roman Catholic Church 2248:
According to the fourth commandment, God has willed that, after him, we should honor our parents and those whom he has vested with authority for our good.
That's not the fourth commandment that the Bible teaches:
Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it. Exodus 20:8-11
Do they know this?
Catechism Article 3: The Third Commandment:
2175 ...Sunday is expressly distinguished from the sabbath ...Those who lived according to the old order of things have come to a new hope, no longer keeping the sabbath 2176 ...The celebration of Sunday observes the moral commandment inscribed by nature in the human heart
The Catholic Record, Sept. 1, 1923:
Now in the matter of Sabbath observance the Protestant rule of Faith is utterly unable to explain the substitution of the Christian Sunday for the Jewish Saturday. It has been changed. The Bible still teaches that the Sabbath or Saturday should be kept holy. There is no authority in the New Testament for the substitution of Sunday for Saturday. Surely it is an important matter. It stands there in the Bible as one of the Ten Commandments of God. There is no authority in the Bible for abrogating this Commandment, or for transferring its observance to another day of the week. For Catholics it is not the slightest difficulty. Due to the exaggerated importance given the Bible... The Church is above the Bible; and this transference of Sabbath observance from Saturday to Sunday is proof positive of that fact. Deny the authority of the Church and you have no adequate or reasonable explanation or justification for the substitution of Sunday for Saturday in the Third - Protestant Fourth - Commandment of God.
So how does the system of roman catholicism see themselves? If Trump was non-denominational, but surely knowing all of this, why not distance himself from such things? Rather than a mentor be a 33rd degree freemason, rather than have spiritual advisors who teach doctrines of the Devil, why even make pretenses? Being non-denominational seems very convenient. Look at people like John Newman, "converting" on their death beds.
Unam Sanctam pope Boniface VIII (1302):
The true faith compels us to believe that there is one holy Catholic Apostolic Church, and this we firmly believe and plainly confess. And outside of her there is no salvation or remission of sins... We therefore declare, say, and affirm that submission on the part of every man to the bishop of Rome is altogether necessary for his salvation.
Catholic Encyclopedia Volume 12 article “pope” page 265:
In other words, [the bishop of Rome] has power to impose laws both preceptive and prohibitive, power likewise to grant dispensation from these laws, and, when needful, to annul them. It is theirs to judge offenses against the laws, to impose and to remit penalties. This judicial authority will even include the power to pardon sin.
The Catholic Encyclopedia, 1913 Edition, Vol. VI, p. 48, refers to this book as “a veritable encyclopedia of religious knowledge,”; Lucius Ferraris, entitled Prompta Bibliotheca Canonica, Vol. VI, pgs. 438, 442, article “Pope.”:
The Pope is of so great dignity and so exalted that he is not a mere man, but as if were God, and the vicar of God. The Pope is of such lofty and supreme dignity that, properly speaking, he has not been established in any rank of dignity, but rather has been placed upon the very summit of all ranks of dignities…. He is likewise the divine monarch and supreme emperor and king of kings. Hence the pope is crowned with a triple crown, as king of heaven and of earth and of the lower regions.
That seems mighty powerful, but what does the Bible say about this?
He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. 1 John 5:12, Romans 6:23, Lamentations 3:22, Romans 3:23, Titus 3:5-6, Acts 4:12
Calling himself a Christian but being non-denominational, what do his close spiritual advisors, members of his cabinet, and others, grow up being taught about Jesus Christ? The name Christian does begin with Jesus Christ, after all.
Dignity and Duties of the Priest by St. Alphonsus de Liguori:
Jesus has died to institute the priesthood. It was not necessary for the Redeemer to die in order to save the world; a drop of his blood, a single tear, or prayer, was sufficient to procure salvation for all; for such a prayer, being of infinite value, should be sufficient to save not one but a thousand worlds. But to institute the priesthood, the death of Jesus Christ has been necessary... And God himself is obliged to abide by the judgment of his priests, and either not to pardon or to pardon, according as they refuse or give absolution, provided the penitent is capable.
The Catechism of the Council of Trent:
We therefore confess that the Sacrifice of the Mass is and ought to be considered one and the same Sacrifice as that of the cross, for the victim is one and the same, namely, Christ our Lord, who offered Himself, once only, a bloody Sacrifice on the altar of the cross.
But the Bible has this to say:
So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation. Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you, In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight: In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins: For the Lord is our judge, the Lord is our lawgiver, the Lord is our king; he will save us. Hebrews 9:28, 1 Peter 1:18-20, Colossians 1:22,14, Isaiah 33:22
And what specifically has the Father Himself told us of His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ?
And there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him. Luke 9:35
And what has the Son to say?
will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands; thy walls are continually before me. The Lord thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 14:18, Isaiah 49:16, Zephaniah 3:17, Matthew 11:29, John 3:16
Masonry, like all the religions, all the Mysteries, Hermeticism and Alchemy, conceals its secrets from all except the Adepts and Sages, or the elect, and uses false explanations and misinterpretations of its symbols to mislead those who deserve only to be misled; to conceal the Truth, which it calls Light, from them and to draw them away from it. - Albert Pike, founder and elder of Freemasonry, in his book, the rule-book of freemasonry, Morals and Dogma
Signs and symbols huh? There is too much evil in plain view to even consider trying to fit everything in one comment, so let us only take a look at some of the esoteric meanings found in 18th and 19th century architecture and the like.
The Great Seal of the United States of America:
As defined on government websites, “The Great Seal of the United States is a national symbol that represents the country's sovereignty and identity.” But whose “sovereignty and identity” is declared? There are the “ribbons of Jupiter”, the “Eagle of Jupiter”, the “All-Seeing Eye of the Supreme One”. But what about the actual words? What do the founders of secret societies, the architects of the signs and symbols in america, attribute to the words spoken on the seal?
According to Manly Hall, masonic writer of books such as “The Secret Destiny of America”, “The Secret Teachings of All Ages”, and “The Lost Keys of Freemasonry”, “e pluribus unum” refers to the ancient Bacchic Rites, which he says was “a forerunner to Freemasonry.” Mysterious and fantastical, the Bacchic Rites are built upon the following story line:
In a time before the creation of mankind, the twelve Titans cause Bacchus, Jupiter’s beautiful son, to become fascinated by his own image in a mirror. Enthralled by himself, Bacchus is seized by the Titans. They kill him, tear him to pieces, boil the pieces in water, and afterwards roast and eat them. This grieves all his loved ones, hence his name, from bakhah, ‘to weep’ or ‘lament.’
The Bible shares the origins of this weeping in a story more ancient than that of Bacchus: “Then he brought me to the door of the gate of the Lord's house which was toward the north; and, behold, there sat women weeping for Tammuz. (Ezekiel 8:14)”. These people were an abominable people working a work of evil in the dark, where human eyes would not regularly peer. Despite having an outward appearance of piety, their heart would lament over some fantastical mythology written for gods of stone who neither hear nor speak.
Continuing,
The strewn body parts of Bacchus become the four elements of matter. One of Bacchus’ sisters, the virgin Minerva, rescues his sacred heart from the four elements and places it before Jupiter in Heaven. From Heaven, Jupiter hurls thunderbolts at his son’s murderers and reduces the Titans to ashes. The rains further reduce the ashes, mingling with the four elements, to slime.... Eternal Bacchus is resurrected as the flaming Sun. He is E PLURIBUS UNUM, One from Many, a resurrection symbolized by the pentagram, the one rising out of the four to make five. This, says Manly Hall, is ‘the magical formula of man.’
Let us now look to the back side of the Great Seal. What about “Annuit Coeptis”? What about “Novus Ordo Seclorum”? F. Tupper Saussy, in his book "Rulers of Evil", shares his discovery with us, saying:
The phrase ‘ANNUIT COEPTIS’, which the U.S. Department of State interprets to mean ‘God hath favored this undertaking,’ was spoken by young Julius Ascanius in the Ninth Book of Virgil’s Aeneid, the book describing the mythological ancestry of the Romans. Young Julius said:
‘Almighty Jupiter, favor this rebellious undertaking (AUDACIBUS ADNUE COEPTIS) Each year, I shall bring to thy temple gifts in my own hands, and place a white bullock at thy altar!’”
The esoteric meaning, the meaning meant to only be understood by those who “deserve to know the truth”, of “ANNUIT COEPTIS”, is therefore “Jupiter hath favored this undertaking”. Remembering Jupiter’s involvement with the Bacchic Rite, and that Jupiter is a Roman representation of Satan, the very top of the Great Seal reads as: “Satan hath favored this undertaking”.
Understanding that the jesuits and their ilk were at the very core of america's founding, a speech by Jesuit political scientist Michael Novak, published in the January 28, 1989 issue of “America”, the weekly magazine of American Jesuits, sums up the esoterics of the "great seal" eloquently enough:
The framers wanted to build a ‘novus ordo’ that would secure ‘liberty and justice for all’.... The underlying principle of this new order is the fact of human sin. To build a republic designed for sinners, then, is the indispensable task.... There is no use building a social system for saints. There are too few of them. And those there are, are impossible to live with!... Any effective social system must therefore be designed for the only moral majority there is: sinners.
Democracy, A Golden Calf, and the American/Roman Eagle:
Jehu worshiped the golden calf, a sacred Babylonian icon made fashionable in tenth-century-BC... by Jehu’s predecessor, Jeroboam. Jeroboam renounced ‘the law of the Lord God of Israel’ [2 Kings 10:31] and instituted... democracy.
Jeroboam would hold elections for the office of priest, even making himself high priest. Using democracy, he would put him and his men in positions of power.
Democracy opened the Israelite priesthood, originally appointed by Yahweh exclusively to the family of Levi, to all applicants. Consequently, Yahweh’s priesthood was infiltrated by non-believers and foreign sympathizers. They prepared the way for Jehu to make of himself a Phrygian freeman, obligated to concur with obedience of the understanding in all things which his superior, Shalmaneser II, commanded – exactly as the Black Obelisk explains in lucid visual terms.... The word ‘calf’ in Hebrew, the language of Jehu and Jeroboam, is עגל , pronounced ‘ey-gil.’ Whereas Jehu gave his people Shalmaneser’s golden עגל to worship, the Church Militant has trained the American public to worship Rome’s golden eagle, which surmounts every flagpole.
The Apotheosis of Washington: The word ‘apotheosis’ was then commonly understood by its definition in Webster’s 1829 Dictionary:
Apotheosis – the act of placing a prince or other distinguished person among the heathen deities. This honor was often bestowed on illustrious men of Rome, and followed by the erection of temples, and the institution of sacrifices to the new deity.
The "Apotheosis of Washington" is painted right on the dome of the United States Capitol Building. What here is hidden in plain sight?
The epicenter of ‘Apotheosis of Washington’ is a solar orb, the Sun-God into which Augustus Caesar was said to have been absorbed when his body died. From the Capitol’s highest interior point Augustus radiates his golden light outward and downward to the next in the ‘line of Julius,’ the deified George Washington. The god Washington occupies the judgment seat of heaven, sword of Justice firmly clasped in his left hand. Basking in the light of Augustus – Pontifex Maximus – he rules ‘over far territories north and south of the zodiacal stars, the solar way.’ Like his Caesarean forebears, Washington is god, Caesar, father of his Country...
An honest study into the history of america and the character/affiliations of its founders, with an understanding of the history of rome, all filtered through the prophecy and archaeology which prove and affirm the Bible, upholds everything being spoken of as true. Let us continue:
On the right hand of the father sits Minerva, holding the emblem of Roman totalitarianism, the fasces. Minerva, we recall, was the virgin goddess of the Sacred Heart – it was she who rescued the heart of the son of god, and placed it with Jupiter in heaven. She was called ‘Minerva’ when praised for her justice and wisdom. When praised for her beauty and love, Minerva was known as Venus, the Queen of Heaven. She and Venus were often identified with each other, just as statues of both were reconsecrated 'Mary' through Roman Catholic missionary adaptation.
Minerva’s most persistent role in ancient paganism was Dea Benigna, ‘The Mediatrix.’ She heard the prayers of sinful mortals and passed them on to Jupiter, in the same way the Roman Mary is believed to pass Catholic prayers on to Christ.
Completing the circular composition around the solarized Augustus are thirteen nubile goddesses. These are the original States. They dance weightlessly in space, supporting a white banner inscribed with the soul of the Bacchic Gospel, ‘E PLURIBUS UNUM.’ Above the head of each State-goddess floats a magical white pentagram.
Let us not forget about the Phrygian cap worn by Minerva:
Phrygian caps were given to freed Roman slaves to indicate their new liberated status. Roman law regards liberty as a conditional status. Once granted by a patron, it could be revoked at any time for cause. Phrygian-cap freedom, then, means liberty (freed Roman slaves, by the way, were called “liberti”) to please Caesar....The shackles are psychological, humanely fitted by increasing varieties of spiritual exercise.
The Phrygian Cap represents freedom in the context of servitude. When looking at the archaeology of Jehu found in the black obelisk of Shalmaneser III, the cap was a statement of the freedom of Jehu on the condition of his servitude to the king of Assyria. When looking at the Apotheosis of Washington, the cap is a statement of the freedom of America on the condition of its servitude to the aspirations of Rome. American “liberty”, whether represented in the “Statue of Liberty”, or the “Statue of Freedom”, is in actuality the title of Roman “liberti”.
The architecture in Washington, D.C., is full of such signs and symbols, but let us end with a short description of the top-most section of the Apotheosis of Washington, revealing part of why america wears the Phrygian cap:
The official version [of the financing of America by Robert Morris, which saved the revolutionary efforts,] is revealed in Constantino Brumidi’s ‘Apotheosis of Washington.’ Here we see Superintendent Morris gazing up from his accounts ledger at yet another Roman deity. We recognize the deity from the familiar caduceus in his right hand, from the winged sandal he’s thrust to within kissing distance of Morris’ lips, and from the shadowy bag of gold he tantalizingly dangles in Morris’ face. The deity is Mercury, the Psychopomp, the Trickster, the patron deity of commerce, deceivers, and thieves. Mercury, the brilliant, lovable Pied-Piper deity who deceives the souls of sinful humanity into following him exuberantly down into the oblivion of Hades. Just as Sebastiano Ricci’s painting subtly established Mercury as the guiding spirit of modern Roman Catholicism, Brumidi’s painting acknowledges the same deity’s ascendancy over the fulfillment of the American Revolution.
All of this jealous concealment of "hidden history" for what? All of it to remove Jesus Christ from the minds of men. So what should this end up doing? All of this should lead us to ask and seek for the truth, for:
Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart. Matthew 7:7, 14, Jeremiah 29:13
And what is Truth?
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. John 14:16
Thou art near, O Lord; and all thy commandments are truth. Psalm 119:151
Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth. John 17:17
Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. Matthew 11:28-29
Project 2025 is Ignatian Spirituality under the guise of politics. It started during the Reagan era, but what exactly did Reagan do? He championed the roman catholic pope, who with reagan appeared on the cover of time magazine in full masonic signaling, with the fingers over the mouth representing horus. Both Reagan and JPII were on the receiving ends of "assassination" attempts, lived, their popularity skyrocketed, and had their legislation pass virtually unopposed. Reagan was instrumental in getting the "holy alliance" between washington and the vatican, and even unilaterally appointed the first ambassador to Vatican city. The aim of Project 2025 is no different than the aim of Reagan, to restore power to the mindset of roman catholicism.
Kevin Roberts, architect of Project 2025, has close ties to the roman catholic order Opus Dei:
Kevin Roberts, the Heritage Foundation president and the architect of Project 2025, the conservative thinktank's road map for a second Trump presidency, has close ties and receives regular spiritual guidance from an Opus Dei-led center in Washington DC, a hub of activity for the radical and secretive Catholic group.
Only by understanding the Hegelian Dialogue, where thesis and anti-thesis are created in order to lead to a synthesis, do we understand why there is blatant favourtism and bias in news pieces such as this, but let us only acknowledge the facts for now, which is that Project 2025 is intimately connected with Opus Dei:
Roberts acknowledged in a speech last September that - for years - he has visited the Catholic Information Center, a K Street institution headed by an Opus dei priest and incorporated by the archdiocese of Washington, on a weekly basis for mass and 'formation', or religious guidance.
Opus Dei members are known for wearing bracelets which dig into the skin, inflicting pain as a constant reminder of their oath of allegiance to the system of roman catholicism, and their mission to restore power to Rome. The "formation" spoken of are the spiritual exercises of Loyola, the founder of the Jesuits, in creating an experiential religion suited for ecumenism. Here is only a section of their esoteric oath taken when elevated to upper ranks:
My son heretofore you have been taught to act the dissembler among the Roman Catholics to be a Roman Catholic, and to be a spy even among your own brethren; to believe no man, to trust no man, among the reformers to be a reformer, among the Huguenots to be a Huguenots; among the Calvinists to be a Calvinist; among the Protestants generally to be a Protestant; and obtaining their confidence, to seek even to preach from their pulpits, and to denounce with all the vehemence in your nature our Holy religion and the Pope and even to descend so low as to become a Jew amongst the Jews. That you might be enabled to gather together all information for the benefit of your order as a faithful soldier of the Pope.
The knights of malta, the jesuits, and opus dei, together control virtually every other secret society, political and military entity, as well as the NWO political think tanks such as the Council on Foreign Relations, the Trilateral Commission, the Bilderbergers, and more.
Speaking of the knights of malta, they founded the cia (Catholic Knight of Malta William Donovan), they founded the fbi (Catholic Knight of Malta, trustee of the Catholic University of America, Charles Bonaparte), and now they are sitting in the chair of secretary of defense.
So what is the mindset of Opus Dei, the brains behind Project 2025? Founder of Opus Dei, Escriva, writes in his book "The Way", a collection of 999 (666 in its other form of worship) religious maxims:
...true Christians must be disciplined and obedient to a spiritual director.
Robert Hutchison, in his book "Their Kingdom Come", outlines the structure and ties of Opus Dei. He Comes to the conclusion that this organization has become the roman catholic church's paramount financial power, that they influence their members through a combination of secret rites and insistence on absolute obedience, that they use a strategy of disrection to cloud their real intentions, and that they aim to work towards a religious war. Hutchison also found that, among many other things, they control the banks, the flow of oil, and the movement of military hardware.
The aim of Project 2025 is very clearly millenial reconstructionism, another turd on the dunghill of jesuit theology to join dispensationalism, futurism, preterism, amillenialism, dominionism, and all their ilk. At its core, it is to take people away from a prayerful and personal study of the Bible, and to submit the minds to "spiritual directors", to their jesuit conspirator-teachers who are the masters of the worlds schooling systems and teaching spiritual formation, an experiential religion who even Steve Bannon recently mentioned as what got him through prison.
And what was the Inspired response of Peter to teachings and workings such as those mentioned above?
We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. 2 Peter 1:19-20
Not in freedom from trial, but in the midst of it, is Christian character developed. Exposure to rebuffs and opposition leads the follower of Christ to greater watchfulness and more earnest prayer to the mighty Helper. Severe trial endured by the grace of God develops patience, vigilance, fortitude, and a deep and abiding trust in God. It is the triumph of the Christian faith that it enables its followers to suffer and be strong; to submit, and thus to conquer; to be killed all the day long, and yet to live; to bear the cross, and thus to win the crown of glory. - Acts of the Apostles
Neither can they prove the things whereof they now accuse me. But this I confess unto thee, that after the way which they call heresy, so worship I the God of my fathers, believing all things which are written in the law and in the prophets: Acts 24:13-14
Herein is the summary of the plan of salvation, attached to the Biblical interpretation of the Revelation, premillenialism:
Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know. John 14:1-4
Spiritualizing things away, or not allowing the Bible alone to interpret itself, which is what futurism, preterism, amillenialism, dominionism, dispentationalism, and every other -ism does, is denying the plan of salvation.
The Lord of hosts hath sworn, saying, Surely as I have thought, so shall it come to pass; and as I have purposed, so shall it stand: So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. For I am the Lord: I will speak, and the word that I shall speak shall come to pass; it shall be no more prolonged: for in your days, O rebellious house, will I say the word, and will perform it, saith the Lord God. For this shall the earth mourn, and the heavens above be black; because I have spoken it, I have purposed it, and will not repent, neither will I turn back from it. Isaiah 14:24;55:11, Ezekiel 12:25, Jeremiah 4:28
If not an interpretation of the Bible as it stands, as premillenialism does, then what is the point of being told to watch?
Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh: So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors. Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man. Matthew 24:32-33, Luke 21:36
Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation. For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water: Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished: But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. 2 Peter 3:3-6, Matthew 24:37-39, Luke 17:28, 2 Timothy 3:2-4, Luke 17:29
And if not watching, then who would receive the blessings?
Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them. But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken; The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of, For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober. Luke 12:37, Matthew 24:48-50, 1 Thessalonians 5:3-6
Spiritualizing away the gospel message, the message of good news, is denying the second advent of Jesus Christ, which too is the premillenialist teaching, which is the teaching of the Bible:
Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into the heaven? This same Jesus who is taken up from you into Heaven, will come in the way you have seen Him going into Heaven. Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth: And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God: Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another; though my reins be consumed within me. For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself. Acts 1:11, 1 John 3:2, Job 19:25-27, Philippians 3:20-21
And denying the second advent is denying the atonement:
So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation. To the end he may stablish your hearts unblameable in holiness before God, even our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all his saints. Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing. Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works. Hebrews 9:28, 1 Thessalonians 3:13, 2 Timothy 4:8, Titus 2:13-14
Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Corinthians 15:51-57
Not allowing the Bible to be its own interpreter is denying the Blessed Hope found only in the Bible:
But when the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the angels with him, then shall he sit on the throne of his glory: Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen. Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not. For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming. For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Matthew 25:31, Revelation 1:7, Matthew 24:26-27, 1 John 2:28, 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17
Denying premillenialism, which is the teaching of the Bible, is denigrating Christ while rejecting the defeat of evil:
I beheld the earth, and, lo, it was without form, and void; and the heavens, and they had no light. I beheld, and, lo, there was no man, and all the birds of the heavens were fled. For thus hath the Lord said, The whole land shall be desolate; yet will I not make a full end. And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, And the slain of the Lord shall be at that day from one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth: they shall not be lamented, neither gathered, nor buried; they shall be dung upon the ground. What do ye imagine against the Lord? he will make an utter end: affliction shall not rise up the second time. Jeremiah 4:23,25,27, Revelation 20:1-2, Jeremiah 25:33, Nahum 1:9
Premillenialism comes from a personal and prayerful study of "Thus saith the Lord". Where is the wrong in what has been said, and where is the depression in what is about to be said?
And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. But now thus saith the Lord that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine. For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind. The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea. They shall not build, and another inhabit; they shall not plant, and another eat: for as the days of a tree are the days of my people, and mine elect shall long enjoy the work of their hands. They shall not labour in vain, nor bring forth for trouble; for they are the seed of the blessed of the Lord, and their offspring with them. For the Lord shall comfort Zion: he will comfort all her waste places; and he will make her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of the Lord; joy and gladness shall be found therein, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody. And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads. For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the Lord, so shall your seed and your name remain. And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the Lord. He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus. Revelation 21:1-4, Isaiah 43:1; 65:17; 11:6,9; 65:22-23; 51:3, Revelation 22:4, Isaiah 66:22-23, Revelation 22:20
Articles like this, whether done in good faith or not, can be completely of the Devil with just the change of one word.
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. John 14:16
Jesus Christ is the Truth. Big difference. Anybody can speak the truth, but being Truth belongs only to Divinity.
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. John 1:1-5
And truth is clearly defined, but how much of what was written leads to actual truth?
Thou art near, O Lord; and all thy commandments are truth. Psalm 119:151
Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth. John 17:17
And what a wonderful point: without seeking truth, that strait and narrow gate which leadeth unto Life, Jesus Christ the only begotten Son of God, can not be found:
Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart. Matthew 7:7, 14, Jeremiah 29:13
To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them. Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life. Isaiah 8:20, John 8:12
The first block is for self-reflection before deciding to read writings like that of jefferson; if they do not speak in harmony with the entirety of the Bible, then they are devoid of light.
The second block is for reflecting upon the writing itself; if they add or remove even a comma in order to change meaning, and do not allow the Bible to explain the Bible similar to each of these blocks of text, then they are merely speaking fables.
Hearkening back to the first and second blocks, the third block is for reflecting upon the relationship between the reader and the writing; the world is steeped in deception and her agents, and there is safety and surety only in the Word of God, in a simple "Thus Saith the Lord".
The fourth block is for reflecting upon what to do next; rather than follow cunningly devised fables, why not accept this personal invitation from God Himself, Jesus Christ:
Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. Matthew 11:29
For a writing which beautifully and perfectly meets all of the Biblical criteria laid out in all four blocks, that speaks only "to the Law and to the Testimony", that teaches of Him who is "meek and lowly in heart", consider reading The Desire of Ages:
Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors. Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness. That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God. For there is no respect of persons with God. 1 John 4:1, Colossians 3:2, 2 Peter 3:17, 1 Corinthians 2:5, Romans 2:11
For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. Matthew 5:18, Revelation 22:18, 2 Timothy 4:3-4
But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him. For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. 2 Corinthians 11:3-4,13-14
So they read in the book in the law of God distinctly, and gave the sense, and caused them to understand the reading. That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty. Nehemiah 8:8, Ephesians 4:15-16, 2 Peter 1:16
What else does the system of roman catholicism have to say? Is it exclusive to this pope? Or is it a representation of the entire system, another camouflage of the chameleon called rome?
From the Encyclical “Ineffabilis Deus”, the roman catholic church declared the Dogma of the Immaculate Conception in 1854:
Let all the children of the Catholic Church, who are so very dear to us, hear these words of ours. With a still more ardent zeal for piety, religion and love, let them continue to venerate, invoke and pray to the most Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God, conceived without original sin. Let them fly with utter confidence to this most sweet Mother of mercy and grace in all dangers, difficulties, needs, doubts and fears. Under her guidance, under her patronage, under her kindness and protection, nothing is to be feared; nothing is hopeless. Because, while bearing toward us a truly motherly affection and having in her care the work of our salvation, she is solicitous about the whole human race. And since she has been appointed by God to be the Queen of heaven and earth, and is exalted above all the choirs of angels and saints, and even stands at the right hand of her only-begotten Son, Jesus Christ our Lord, she presents our petitions in a most efficacious manner. What she asks, she obtains. Her pleas can never be unheard.
And what does the Bible say about the "queen of heaven" moniker?
The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead their dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto other gods, that they may provoke me to anger. Jeremiah 7:18
A pagan religion? Wait, does not the mass involve the making of cakes (bread) and the pouring out of drink offerings (wine)? What else do they have to say in their catechism, their highest source of learning, or in any other of their writings?
Catechism of the Roman Catholic Church 2080, 1161:
The Decalogue contains a privileged expression of the natural law. It is made known to us by divine revelation and by human reason. [it is] Following the divinely inspired teaching of our holy Fathers and the tradition of the Catholic Church.
Natural law? Is that not the thinking of greek philosopher Aristotle?
Catechism of the Roman Catholic Church 82:
As a result the Church, to whom the transmission and interpretation of Revelation is entrusted, “does not derive her certainty about all revealed truths from the holy Scriptures alone. Both Scripture and Tradition must be accepted and honored with equal sentiments of devotion and reverence.”
Tradition? Whose tradition? The Greeks? The Romans? The Persians? The Babylonians? Satans?
Catechism of the Roman Catholic Church 2066:
The division and numbering of the Commandments have varied in the course of history. The present catechism follows the division of the Commandments established by St. Augustine, which has become traditional in the Catholic Church. It is also that of the Lutheran confessions. The Greek Fathers worked out a slightly different division, which is found in the Orthodox Churches and Reformed communities.
What does the Bible have to say about that?
For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: Matthew 5:18, Revelation 22:18
Catechism of the Roman Catholic Church 2248:
According to the fourth commandment, God has willed that, after him, we should honor our parents and those whom he has vested with authority for our good.
That's not the fourth commandment that the Bible teaches:
Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it. Exodus 20:8-11
Do they know this?
Catechism Article 3: The Third Commandment:
2175 ...Sunday is expressly distinguished from the sabbath ...Those who lived according to the old order of things have come to a new hope, no longer keeping the sabbath 2176 ...The celebration of Sunday observes the moral commandment inscribed by nature in the human heart
The Catholic Record, Sept. 1, 1923:
Now in the matter of Sabbath observance the Protestant rule of Faith is utterly unable to explain the substitution of the Christian Sunday for the Jewish Saturday. It has been changed. The Bible still teaches that the Sabbath or Saturday should be kept holy. There is no authority in the New Testament for the substitution of Sunday for Saturday. Surely it is an important matter. It stands there in the Bible as one of the Ten Commandments of God. There is no authority in the Bible for abrogating this Commandment, or for transferring its observance to another day of the week. For Catholics it is not the slightest difficulty. Due to the exaggerated importance given the Bible... The Church is above the Bible; and this transference of Sabbath observance from Saturday to Sunday is proof positive of that fact. Deny the authority of the Church and you have no adequate or reasonable explanation or justification for the substitution of Sunday for Saturday in the Third - Protestant Fourth - Commandment of God.
Just what other powers do they ascribe to themselves?
Unam Sanctam pope Boniface VIII (1302):
The true faith compels us to believe that there is one holy Catholic Apostolic Church, and this we firmly believe and plainly confess. And outside of her there is no salvation or remission of sins... We therefore declare, say, and affirm that submission on the part of every man to the bishop of Rome is altogether necessary for his salvation.
Catholic Encyclopedia Volume 12 article “pope” page 265:
In other words, [the bishop of Rome] has power to impose laws both preceptive and prohibitive, power likewise to grant dispensation from these laws, and, when needful, to annul them. It is theirs to judge offenses against the laws, to impose and to remit penalties. This judicial authority will even include the power to pardon sin.
That seems mighty powerful, but what does the Bible say about this?
He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. 1 John 5:12, Romans 6:23, Lamentations 3:22, Romans 3:23, Titus 3:5-6, Acts 4:12
How does the system of roman catholicism see their pope?
The Catholic Encyclopedia, 1913 Edition, Vol. VI, p. 48, refers to this book as “a veritable encyclopedia of religious knowledge,”; Lucius Ferraris, entitled Prompta Bibliotheca Canonica, Vol. VI, pgs. 438, 442, article “Pope.”:
The Pope is of so great dignity and so exalted that he is not a mere man, but as if were God, and the vicar of God. The Pope is of such lofty and supreme dignity that, properly speaking, he has not been established in any rank of dignity, but rather has been placed upon the very summit of all ranks of dignities…. He is likewise the divine monarch and supreme emperor and king of kings. Hence the pope is crowned with a triple crown, as king of heaven and of earth and of the lower regions.
Catechism of the Roman Catholic Church 882, 891:
For the Roman Pontiff, by reason of his office as Vicar of Christ, and as pastor of the entire Church has full, supreme, and universal power over the whole Church, a power which he can always exercise unhindered. ...as supreme pastor and teacher of all the faithful…
But what does the Bible state?
My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out. For he is our God; and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. To day if ye will hear his voice, John 10:27,3, Psalm 95:7
So what does the system of roman catholicism really think of Jesus Christ, God Himself:
Dignity and Duties of the Priest by St. Alphonsus de Liguori:
Jesus has died to institute the priesthood. It was not necessary for the Redeemer to die in order to save the world; a drop of his blood, a single tear, or prayer, was sufficient to procure salvation for all; for such a prayer, being of infinite value, should be sufficient to save not one but a thousand worlds. But to institute the priesthood, the death of Jesus Christ has been necessary... And God himself is obliged to abide by the judgment of his priests, and either not to pardon or to pardon, according as they refuse or give absolution, provided the penitent is capable.
The Catechism of the Council of Trent:
We therefore confess that the Sacrifice of the Mass is and ought to be considered one and the same Sacrifice as that of the cross, for the victim is one and the same, namely, Christ our Lord, who offered Himself, once only, a bloody Sacrifice on the altar of the cross.
But the Bible has this to say:
So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation. Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you, In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight: In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins: For the Lord is our judge, the Lord is our lawgiver, the Lord is our king; he will save us. Hebrews 9:28, 1 Peter 1:18-20, Colossians 1:22,14, Isaiah 33:22
This may have been a difficult read for some, so let us be comforted by the promises found outside of this system of deceit, found only in a prayerful and personal study of the Bible:
I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive. Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ. John 14:18, Matthew 21:22, Galatians 4:7
Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness. The Lord thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing. Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Isaiah 41:10, Zephaniah 3:17, Matthew 6:30-31,33
Keep thinking critically, always allowing the Bible to be the first and last filter of all proposed wisdom.
Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment: thou shalt not respect the person of the poor, nor honor the person of the mighty: but in righteousness shalt thou judge thy neighbour. These things also belong to the wise. It is not good to have respect of persons in judgment. Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy. For there is no respect of persons with God. Leviticus 19:15, Proverbs 24:23, 1 Peter 1:16, Romans 2:11
Among all the traditions and falsehoods of a world battling for the minds of men, the following paragraphs from The Desire of Ages (pg. 509-510) may be able to give some comfort and clarity. Care to join me in reading today?
But today in the religious world there are multitudes who, as they believe, are working for the establishment of the kingdom of Christ as an earthly and temporal dominion. They desire to make our Lord the ruler of the kingdoms of this world, the ruler in its courts and camps, its legislative halls, its palaces and market places. They expect Him to rule through legal enactments, enforced by human authority. Since Christ is not now here in person, they themselves will undertake to act in His stead, to execute the laws of His kingdom. The establishment of such a kingdom is what the Jews desired in the days of Christ. They would have received Jesus, had He been willing to establish a temporal dominion, to enforce what they regarded as the laws of God, and to make them the expositors of His will and the agents of His authority. But He said, “My kingdom is not of this world.” John 18:36. He would not accept the earthly throne.
The government under which Jesus lived was corrupt and oppressive; on every hand were crying abuses,—extortion, intolerance, and grinding cruelty. Yet the Saviour attempted no civil reforms. He attacked no national abuses, nor condemned the national enemies. He did not interfere with the authority or administration of those in power. He who was our example kept aloof from earthly governments. Not because He was indifferent to the woes of men, but because the remedy did not lie in merely human and external measures. To be efficient, the cure must reach men individually, and must regenerate the heart.
Not by the decisions of courts or councils or legislative assemblies, not by the patronage of worldly great men, is the kingdom of Christ established, but by the implanting of Christ's nature in humanity through the work of the Holy Spirit. “As many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name: which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.” John 1:12, 13. Here is the only power that can work the uplifting of mankind. And the human agency for the accomplishment of this work is the teaching and practicing of the word of God.
When the apostle Paul began his ministry in Corinth, that populous, wealthy, and wicked city, polluted by the nameless vices of heathenism, he said, “I determined not to know anything among you, save Jesus Christ, and Him crucified.” 1 Corinthians 2:2. Writing afterward to some of those who had been corrupted by the foulest sins, he could say, “But ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.” “I thank my God always on your behalf, for the grace of God which is given you by Jesus Christ.” 1 Corinthians 6:11; 1:4.
Let us first understand a glimpse of the history of "Jewish" and "Judaism", before making our way to WWII.
Facts are Facts by Benjamin H. Freedman:
The word "Jew" was only introduced into the English language in the eighteenth century. Jesus referred to Himself as a "Judean" and not as a "Jew". Inscribed upon the Cross when Jesus was Crucified were the Latin words "Iesus Nazarenus Rex Iudeorum" which means Jesus of Nazareth ruler of the Judeans.
Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence. John 18:36
Judean only has a geographic connotation, and not a religious connotation like the word Jew.
The form of religious worship known as 'Pharisaism' in Judea in the time of Jesus was a religious practice based exclusively upon the Talmud. The Talmud in the time of Jesus was the Magna Charta, the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights, all rolled into one, of those who practiced 'Pharisaism'. The Talmud today occupies the same relative position with respect to those who profess 'Judaism'.
Rabbi Morris N. Kertzer wrote a most revealing and comprehensive article with the title, "What is a Jew", which was published as a feature article in "Look" Magazine in the June 17, 1952 issue. In that article, Kertzer evaluated the significance of the Talmud to "Judaism" today. In that illuminating treatise, on that important subject, by the most qualified authority at the time, Kertzer stated:
The Talmud consists of 63 books of legal, ethical and historical writings of the ancient rabbis. It was edited five centuries after the birth of Jesus. It is a compendium of law and lore. It is the legal code which forms the basis of Jewish religious law and it is the textbook used in the training of the rabbis.
Then he states:
From the birth of Jesus until this day there have never been recorded more vicious and vile libelous blasphemis of Jesus, or Christians and the Christian faith by anyone, anywhere, or anytime, than you will find between the covers of the infamous '63 books' which are the 'legal code which forms the basis of Jewish religious law' as well as the 'textbook used in the training of the rabbis'.
As to the origin of the present "Jews" in Palestine, he states that those Jews derived from Eastern Europe and are not descendents of the Judeans, or the lost tribes of Israel, but rather descendents of the Khazars, a nation most people don't even know of:
The so-called or self-styled "Jews" in eastern Europe in modern history can not legitimately point to a single ancient ancestor who ever set even a foot on the soil of Palestine in the era of Bible history. Research also revealed that the so-called or self-styled "Jews" in eastern Europe were never "Semites", are not "Semites" now, nor can they ever be regarded as "Semites" at any future time by any stretch of the imagination. ... What secret mysterious power has been able to for countless generations to keep the origin and the history of the Khazars and Khazar Kingdom out of history text-books and out of class-room courses in history throughout the world? The origin and history of the Khazars and Khazar Kingdom are certainly incontestable historical facts."
On the Khazars, of Persian origin, he writes:
After a historic session with representatives of the three monotheistic religions, King Bulan (7th century) decided against Christian and Islam and selected as the future state religion the religious worship then known as 'Talmudism', and now known and practiced as 'Judaism'."
They adopted the Hebrew alphabet and the "Khazars adapted words to their requirements from the German, the Slavonis, and the Baltic languages". This language was known as "Yiddish", using the Hebrew alphabetic characters, but not itself Hebrew. Ask any one who speaks one of those languages to listen to Yiddish, and they will not only hear similarities, but have a vague understanding of what is being said.
As someone who was also raised Jewish before converting, F.C. Gilbert wrote an absolute must read on the complete depravity and evils found in the Talmud, which, as we just read, is the foundation of "Judaism" today. https://archive.org/details/F.C.GilbertPracticalLessonsFromTheExperienceOfIsraelForTheChurch
Before arriving at WWII, we still have to deal with Napoleon, who was himself a freemason. A webpage dedicated to his history writes:
Napoleon founded the Bank of France, reformed the tax system, restored the church, improved the education system and in 1804 assumed the hereditary title of emperor of the French. The following year he was at was with Russia, Austria, and England... Napoleon was the first leader in Europe to grant liberty, equality, and fraternity to all religions. In this lithograph of the period, Napoleon is granting liberty to the Jews.
That same lithograph contains symbols representative of the Devil and Freemasonry, among many other pictures involving Napoleon.
Now, here is an amazing incident which is not generally known:
When the French troops were in Palestine, and besieging the city of Acre, Napoleon had already prepared a Proclamation making Palestine an independent Jewish state... He was unable to realize this project because of the intervention of the British... [He even declared] 'If I governed a nation of Jews, I should re-establish the Temple of Solomon'.
So Napoleon, an agent of freemasonry, created the precursor to zionism, drawing many adherents to dispensationalist/futurist false interpretations of Biblical prophecy.
Elder and founder of freemasonry, Albert Pike, agrees with this sentiment, when he writes, in one of three letters describing three manufactured world wars, with vivid accuracy, to Italian politician Giuseppe Mazzini, 1871:
The Second World War must be fomented by taking advantage of the differences between the Fascists and the political Zionists. This war must be brought about so that Nazism is destroyed, and that the political Zionism be strong enough to institute a sovereign state of Israel in Palestine. During the Second World War, International Communism must become strong enough in order to balance Christendom, which would be then restrained and held in check until the time when we would need it for the final social cataclysm.
Nazism and Zionism were not publicly known terms in 1871, but both movements were created by the Weishaupt Illuminati, co-conspirators of Masonry who first coined the word communism, and its ideology, four years prior to its teaching. After WWII, at the Potsdam Conference with Truman, Churchill, and Stalin, a large portion of Europe was simply handed over to Communist Russia, while the aftermath of the war with Japan swept the tide of Communism into China.
Louis F. Were sums up the connection of zionism to freemasonry, jesuitism, and the continuing counter-reformation tactics, with a purpose of WWII:
Jesus is now reigning! The Prophecies concerning His kingdom of grace are now being fulfilled!... It was this recognition of the fulfillment of the kingdom prophecies in relation to the church that gave power to their preaching, and which also aroused the anger of the Jews against them. That which the Jews regarded as being wholly future, and to be fulfilled literally in connection with nationa Israel, the apostles preached as being fulfilled in the work of preaching the gospel.
So, what happened to those practicing "Judaism" right before WWII to necessitate such drastic measures of forced relocation?
Prussia retracted the liberal laws in 1815 after [defeating Napoleon in a staged battle] the Battle of Waterloo. The worst setback was inflicted upon the Jews of the Papal states. It would almost seem as if Pius VII had taken revenge on the Jewish population of his territory for the humiliation he had suffered... He was not content with their confinement behind the walls of the re-erected ghetto but he obliged the Jews to wear the 'Yellow bage' again.
Spread throughout Europe, there seemed to be a time of reprieve as, after WWII, they would begin to board ships to emigrate to the west. However, the British crown, which too is owned by the papacy, refused the ships passage, and re-routed the destination to Palestine. The result? A new nationalistic, zionistic pride arose as a new nation of people were hounded, and herded, under the deception ingrained in their tradition as depicted in the Talmud.
Only through the filter which is the Bible, proven by prophecy, affirmed by archaeology, upheld by history, can we have a true understanding of not only why these things happen, but the solution to it all, which is found only in God Himself, Jesus Christ:
Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. John 5:39
Read Isaiah 53 and see that these prophecies can only be applied to Christ Jesus. Read Daniel 9:24-27, which the Talmud absolutely prohibits by the way, to understand that the Messiah can only be Christ Jesus, and that the Hebrews, as a nation, but not as individuals, have been left desolate:
Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy. Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times. And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined. And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate. Daniel 9:24-27
Understand that the Old Testament and the New Testament are linked inseparable, and are to be understood together, binded through the centrality of the Word:
Seek ye the Lord while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near: Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you, In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight: In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins: For the Lord is our judge, the Lord is our lawgiver, the Lord is our king; he will save us. Isaiah 55:6-7, 1 Peter 1:18-20, Colossians 1:22,14, Isaiah 33:22
And learn of this free invitation, paid for by the blood of the Lamb, God Himself:
Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. Matthew 11:28-29
But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This fellow doth not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the prince of the devils. And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand: And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how shall then his kingdom stand? And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your children cast them out? therefore they shall be your judges. But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you. Matthew 12:24-28
And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. Matthew 24:3-4,24
And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. John 8:32
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. John 14:6
Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth. John 17:17
Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and thy law is the truth. Psalm 119:142
Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God; Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints: To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory: Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus: Whereunto I also labour, striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily. Colossians 1:25-29
Blessed is the man that trusteth in the Lord, and whose hope the Lord is. For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit. Jeremiah 17:7-8
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you, Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. 1 Peter 1:3-5
For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works. These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee. Titus 2:11-15
Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast. For, behold, the Lord cometh out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain. A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee. Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked. For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will. For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son: That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him. Isaiah 26:20-21, Psalm 91:7-8, John 5:21-23
Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. 1 Corinthians 15:51-57, 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17
And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. Revelation 21:1-4
For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind. The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea. They shall not build, and another inhabit; they shall not plant, and another eat: for as the days of a tree are the days of my people, and mine elect shall long enjoy the work of their hands. They shall not labour in vain, nor bring forth for trouble; for they are the seed of the blessed of the Lord, and their offspring with them. Isaiah 65:17; 11:6,9; 65:22-23
Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed? The Lord thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing. For since the beginning of the world men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither hath the eye seen, O God, beside thee, what he hath prepared for him that waiteth for him. Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. Isaiah 53:1, Zephaniah 3:17, Isaiah 64:4, Matthew 6:30-34
Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness. Behold, all they that were incensed against thee shall be ashamed and confounded: they shall be as nothing; and they that strive with thee shall perish. The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished: Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. Isaiah 41:10-11, 2 Peter 2:9;1:4, Luke 12:34
Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know. John 14:1-4
Seems like a good place to get the mind racing over some historical facts.
Albert Pike, former elder and leader of freemasonry, says the following in the guidebook to freemasonry, his book, "Morals and Dogma":
Masonry, like all the religions, all the Mysteries, Hermeticism and Alchemy, conceals its secrets from all except the Adepts and Sages, or the elect, and uses false explanations and misinterpretations of its symbols to mislead those who deserve only to be misled; to conceal the Truth, which it calls Light, from them and to draw them away from it. Truth is not for those who are unworthy or unable to receive it, or would pervert it. So masonry jealously conceals its secrets, and intentionally leads conceited interpreters astray.
When studying these things, we come to see that the MYSTERY religions, branded under different signs, symbols, and colours, are delivering a mindset, which they call truth and light, to the world. As we just read, this mindset is one ensconced in deceit. Pike admits, in his own words, what the higher degrees of freemasonry jealously guard as their light:
Strange and mysterious name given to the spirit of darkness! Lucifer, the son of the morning! Is it he who bears the light, and with its splendors intolerable blinds feeble, sensual, or selfish souls? Doubt it not!
Having an idea of the contents within their package, let us first discover the outward adornments, the branding and advertisements, which may change as the colours of a chameleon, but beneath this variable appearance lies the invariable venom of the serpent.
Richard Levy in "Antisemitism: A historical encyclopedia of prejudice and persecution says":
The Jacobins currently terrorizing France, Barruel argued in his preface, could not have appeared out of thin air...The principal authors of the conspiracy, he claimed, were Voltaire, Jean-le-Rond d'Alembert, and King Frederick of Prussia, who had secretly planned to destroy Christianity...These “sophists” had formed an alliance with the Freemasons, whose antireligious conspirital origins Barruel traced back to the medieval Knights Templars. The final and most utterly evil group in this triple conspiracy, however, were the Bavarian Illuminati, under their satanic leader Adam Weishaupt. Jacobinism had emerged out of the union of these three groups.
Jacobinism, under its founder Adam Weishaupt, a Jesuit doctor of papal canon laws at Ingolstadt University in Bavaria, adopted the Phrygian cap (!! what does this cap represent? where else does it appear? read about Jehu and Shalmaneser III, about Mithraism, about roman liberti) and became the driving force of the French Revolution. The Illuminati Order was preceded in the 1500’s in Spain by the Alumbrados, started by a group called the Marranos.
The founder of the Jesuit Order, Ignatius of Loyola, was a Marrano. Freemasonry, who Pike traces to the Knights Templars, are associated not only with royalty, but with the founding of the Illuminati, Jacobinism, and Jesuitism. What do the Jesuits represent? Will we discover that they, too, "jealously conceals [their] secrets, and intentionally leads conceited interpreters astray"?
In the center of Rome, at the very heart of the beast, is the mother church of the Jesuits. Dedicated to Ignatius Loyola and pictured in the Church of the Gesù, is this statue of a woman armed with the lightning of Zeus in her hand, striking at Protestants. In an inscription in the Temple of Pergamos, housing the seat of Satan (Revelation 2:13), where the Babylonian Priesthood carried the title of Pontifex Maximus before conferring it to Rome on the 25th of December, is a description of Zeus, another name in Satanic worship, as their saviour. Not pictured but on the opposite side of this statue is a woman holding a golden cup in her hand, just as in St. Peter’s, just as with the woman atop the beast (Revelation 17:4). Next Door to the Chiesa is the Supreme Counsel of the Masonic Lodge of Italy. Signed with triple dots after each letter of the RSAA "Supremo Consiglio Giurisdiozone Massonica Italiana" is the signature of the jesuits in their connection with masonry.
In his book "Rulers of Evil", F. Tupper Saussy says:
After World War II, during September 1957, Pope John XXIII gave Jesuit theatre even broader horizons with his encyclical Miranda prorsus (‘Looking ahead’), ...John XXIII urged that Pius XI’s national film reviewing offices ‘...be entrusted to men who are experienced in cinema, sound broadcasting, and television, under the guidance of a priest specially chosen by the Bishops.... At the same time We urge that the faithful, and particularly those who are militant in the cause of Catholic Action [Jesuits and their protégés], be suitably instructed, so that they may appreciate the need for giving to these offices their willing, united, and effective support.’
The jesuits are not only the heart of roman catholicism, but along with all other secret societies, are the veins through which the blood of Satanic doctrine flows. We must also understand that rome is incapable of changing. Read into papal infallibility and what they define as speaking "ex cathedra". Read the 1964 decree "Inter Mirifica" by Pope Paul VI which amplified Miranda prorsus as being pursuant to the roman catholic "common good". Learn about what this actually means, because this is the direction of america and the entire world.
Eminent Catholic historian Thomas O’Gorman concurred in 1895, observing that American Catholicism was, "in its inception, wholly a Jesuit affair and [has] largely remained so.”
It is not a difficult thing for them to control the physical things of the world, for the world's land is owned by the british crown, and the roman catholic church owns the british crown. Constitutions matter not to rome, for they annulled the british constitution, the magna carta, in 1215. It is of no small significance that there is an obelisk located in the center of vatican city, in london city, and in washington d.c, and that the architecture of their capitol buildings are all modeled after rome. Yes, they were the architects of marxism and today own Russia, and yes, they were the architects of the banking system and today own China. This battle is not for the lands of the nations, or for the laws of the lands, but this battle is waged for the minds of the people.
German born G.W. Snyder would write the following to George Washington:
It was some Time since that a Book fell into my Hands entitled “Proofs of a Conspiracy &c. by John Robison,” which gives a full Account of a Society of Freemasons, that distinguishes itself by the Name “of Illuminati,” whose Plan is to overturn all Government and all Religion, even natural; and who endeavour to eradicate every Idea of a Supreme Being, and distinguish Man from Beast by his Shape only. A Thought suggested itself to me, that some of the Lodges in the United States might have caught the Infection, and might cooperate with the Illuminati or the Jacobine Club in France.
Washington, himself a Grand Mason who would be deified as the next in line after Julius Caesar (as shown in the Apotheosis of Washington painted in the Capitol building - there is much evil depicted here), denied all allegations and considered his personal investigation sufficient.
Let us read an observation about what happened during the laying of america's cornerstone just five years prior, as detailed in the Gazette newspaper, and shared by F. Tupper Saussy in his book “Rulers of Evil”:
I was reminded of the passage in the Aeneid where Julius Ascanius promised a sacrifice to Jupiter for favoring his rebellious undertaking: ‘I shall bring to thy temple gifts in my own hands, and place a white bullock at thy altar...’ Could it be that the silver plaque, the corn, the wine, the oil, the chanting, the roasted ox, and the reverential prayer were the fulfillment of that promise – a burnt sacrifice to Jupiter, on the altar of his capitolium, upon land called Rome, land formally consecrated by Pontifex Maximus to the protection of the goddess Venus? Historians who believe the government of the United States was founded by Christians will certainly disagree. But the ceremony, as reported in the press, was anything but Christian. Moreover, the plaque itself reckoned time according to three systems: (1) the years of independence of the United States, (2) the years of George Washington’s administration, and (3) the years of Freemasonry. It completely ignored the system that reckons time in the years of Jesus Christ.
Trump, like anyone else, is not immune to any of the influences of freemasonry and their ilk of secret societies. But the question is, is he for it, or against it?Donald Trump’s mentor was Norman Vincent Peele, and he was also mentor to people such as Robert Schuller. On Peele, a 33rd degree freemason, Trump has the following to say:
I still remember [Peale’s] sermons,... You could listen to him all day long. And when you left the church, you were disappointed it was over. He was the greatest guy.
A student of Peele, Robert Schuller taught the following in his book titled Self-Esteem: The New Reformation”:
"The church’s problem is that it has had a God-centered theology for centuries, when it needs a men-centered one.” This is the same exact sentiment taught by Trump’s spiritual advisor, Paula White, who herself is a preacher in the roman-catholic-connected Charismatic movement, and served in his “Evangelical Executive Advisory Board” during his first presidency.
Look into the people being appointed to his cabinet. Read the writings of peele, of schuller, of rick warren, of all those associated at the highest levels of masonry. All of it is satanic, and the jesuits and their ilk, like the knights of malta, are openly admitting their affiliation as they are sworn in with smiles.
We did not even touch on the signs and symbols found on the dollar bill which coincidentally connects america with freemasonry, jesuitism, and rome; or what about the great seal of the united states, the meaning of "e pluribus unum" or "novus ordo seclorum", the esoterics of the statue of liberty and the apotheosis of washington, the architecture of the capitol buildings, the masonic layout of washington, and much, much more?
What about Napoleon himself who was a freemason, instrumental in building the current structure of america, instrumental in planting the seeds of dispensationalism and futurism, and instrumental in the building of the nation state of physical israel. But the question is, as time allows for choices to be made, will we start seeing these very same ideologies brought more openly to the religio-political level?
The world has been pushing this man-centered theology, the doctrine of Satan, since the beginning of time:
And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. Genesis 3:4-5
This is a battle for the minds. Whether Jew or Greek, Roman Catholic or American, Hindu or Buddhist, Atheist or New-Ager, these three doctrines of Satan are the uniting banner for each and every group of the world. Spread through orders such as freemasonry, ensconced in the beliefs of any system of the world, and yes this includes the Christianity of the world and the Judaism of the world, are the teachings of Satan.
But there is another rallying call being made: while the world unites in battle against the risen Word, God Himself, there is a call to come out and be separate:
And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities. Revelation 18:4-5
But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, Galatians 4:4
Mary, being made a woman, being made under the condemnation of the law in the image of Adam (Genesis 5:3), is sleeping.
His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish. For the grave cannot praise thee, death can not celebrate thee: they that go down into the pit cannot hope for thy truth. For in death there is no remembrance of thee: in the grave who shall give thee thanks? As the cloud is consumed and vanisheth away: so he that goeth down to the grave shall come up no more. He shall return no more to his house, neither shall his place know him any more. The dead praise not the Lord, neither any that go down into silence. In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return. Psalm 146:4, Isaiah 38:18, Psalms 6:5, Job 7:9-10, Psalms 115:17, Genesis 3:19
She, like the stone or wood statue, can neither speak nor hear.
So man lieth down, and riseth not: till the heavens be no more, they shall not awake, nor be raised out of their sleep. These things said he: and after that he saith unto them, Our friend Lazarus sleepeth; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep. Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well. Howbeit Jesus spake of his death: but they thought that he had spoken of taking of rest in sleep. Then said Jesus unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead. Job 14:12, John 11:10-14
Death is the return of the breathe of life to the Breather of life. Only God has immortality (1 Timothy 6:16), and only God has life to give. Man, formed as a living soul comprised of dust and a breathe (Genesis 2:7), returns to dust as the last breath is returned to its Breather. To us, death may seem frightful and permanent, but in the Lord, death only need be a short sleep.
So they read in the book in the law of God distinctly, and gave the sense, and caused them to understand the reading. That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty. Nehemiah 8:8, Ephesians 4:15-16, 2 Peter 1:16
The cunningly devised fable of the immortality of the soul, being one of the three lies of the Devil (Genesis 3:1-5) aside, what does the Bible say about the dangers of idolatry, being the worship of the creation along side, in the place of, or even over, the Creator?
Thus saith the Lord, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them. For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe. They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not. They are upright as the palm tree, but speak not: they must needs be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither also is it in them to do good. Jeremiah 10:2-5
And where does the "sacred heart" terminology come through to modern times? It has been passed down from Nimrod and Semiramis worship, through pagan roman mythology of Bacchus, down to papal roman doctrine:
In a time before the creation of mankind, the twelve Titans cause Bacchus, Jupiter’s beautiful son, to become fascinated by his own image in a mirror. Enthralled by himself, Bacchus is seized by the Titans. They kill him, tear him to pieces, boil the pieces in water, and afterwards roast and eat them. This grieves all his loved ones, hence his name, from bakhah, ‘to weep’ or ‘lament.’
The Bible shares the origins of this weeping in a story more ancient than that of Bacchus: “Then he brought me to the door of the gate of the Lord's house which was toward the north; and, behold, there sat women weeping for Tammuz. (Ezekiel 8:14)”. These people were an abominable people working a work of evil in the dark, where human eyes would not regularly peer. Despite having an outward appearance of piety, their heart would lament over some fantastical mythology written for gods of stone who neither hear nor speak.
The strewn body parts of Bacchus become the four elements of matter. One of Bacchus’ sisters, the virgin Minerva, rescues his sacred heart from the four elements and places it before Jupiter in Heaven. From Heaven, Jupiter hurls thunderbolts at his son’s murderers and reduces the Titans to ashes. The rains further reduce the ashes, mingling with the four elements, to slime.... Eternal Bacchus is resurrected as the flaming Sun. He is E PLURIBUS UNUM, One from Many, a resurrection symbolized by the pentagram, the one rising out of the four to make five. This, says Manly Hall, is ‘the magical formula of man.’
Not only do they adopt the sacred heart terminology and the weeping for tammuz, a form of Nimrod and Semiramis (Devil) worship which the Bible warns against, but so too do they adopt the moniker queen of heaven:
From the Encyclical “Ineffabilis Deus”, the roman catholic church declared, ex cathedra (with the highest authority, seen as unquestionable and infallible), the Dogma of the Immaculate Conception in 1854:
Let all the children of the Catholic Church, who are so very dear to us, hear these words of ours. With a still more ardent zeal for piety, religion and love, let them continue to venerate, invoke and pray to the most Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God, conceived without original sin. Let them fly with utter confidence to this most sweet Mother of mercy and grace in all dangers, difficulties, needs, doubts and fears. Under her guidance, under her patronage, under her kindness and protection, nothing is to be feared; nothing is hopeless. Because, while bearing toward us a truly motherly affection and having in her care the work of our salvation, she is solicitous about the whole human race. And since she has been appointed by God to be the Queen of heaven and earth, and is exalted above all the choirs of angels and saints, and even stands at the right hand of her only-begotten Son, Jesus Christ our Lord, she presents our petitions in a most efficacious manner. What she asks, she obtains. Her pleas can never be unheard.
And what does the Bible say about this?
The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead their dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto other gods, that they may provoke me to anger. Jeremiah 7:18
Interestingly enough, this article is sourced from Breitbart. What has Stephen Bannon recently been speaking about? Read it for yourself in the Jesuit magazine, America: https://www.americamagazine.org/politics-society/2017/11/17/steve-bannon-st-ignatius-helped-me-get-sober
Let us read a part of their creed:
You have been taught your duty as a spy to gather all statistics, facts and information in your power from every source: to ingratiate yourself into the confidence of the family circle of protestants and heretics of every class and character as well as that of the merchant, the banker, the lawyer, among the schools and universities in Parliaments and legislatures, and in the Judiciaries and Conceals of the State and to 'be all things to all men' for the Pope's sake, whose servants we are unto death. You have received all your instructions heretofore as a Novice, a Neophyte, and have served as a coadjutor, confessor and priest, but you have not yet been vested with all that is necessary to command in the army of Loyola in the service of the Pope.
And let us understand that this very same creed is still alive today. In a 2008 speech, pope Benedict XVI says:
In its history, the Society of Jesus has lived extraordinary experiences of proclamation and encounter between the Gospel and world cultures - it suffices to think of Matteo Ricci in China, Roberto De Nobili in India or of the “Reductions” in Latin America. And you are rightly proud of them. ... you must loyally take on the Church's fundamental duty to remain faithful to her mandate and to adhere totally... to the Magisterium's task of preserving the integral truth and unity of Catholic doctrine. This not only applies to the personal commitment of individual Jesuits: Only last week I myself benefited from the Spiritual Exercises [of Ignatius Loyola], together with my closest collaborators of the Roman Curia, under the guidance of a distinguished confrere of yours, Cardinal Albert Vanhoye.
In speeches made in 2006 and 2008, pope Benedict XVI clearly reminds the jesuit order of their fealty:
St Ignatius was a faithful servant of the Church, in which he saw and venerated the Bride of the Lord and the Mother of Christians. And the special vow of obedience to the Pope, which he himself describes as “our first and principal foundation” (MI, Series III, I., p. 162), was born from his desire to serve the Church in the most beneficial way possible. This ecclesial characteristic, so specific to the Society of Jesus, lives on in you and in your apostolic activities, dear Jesuits, so that you may faithfully meet the urgent needs of the Church today. I have invited you and also invite you today to reflect in order to rediscover the fullest meaning of your characteristic “fourth vow” of obedience to the Successor of Peter, which does not only involve the readiness to be sent on mission to distant lands but also - in the most genuine Ignatian spirit of “feeling with the Church and in the Church” - “to love and serve” the Vicar of Christ on earth with that “effective and affective devotion” which must make you his invaluable and irreplaceable collaborators in his service for the universal Church.
Be vary wary of where these cunningly devised fables come from, for they are nothing more than the traditions of men, as stubble to be burned in the fire:
For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him. For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. 2 Timothy 4:3-4, 2 Corinthians 11:3-4,13-14
But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me: John 15:26
Just because someone can say something that comes true, it does not make them a prophet. There are many more criteria to be fulfilled, and they are all given through the Bible for us to distinguish between a true and a false prophet. Why? What does the Bible say about the emergence of false prophets?
And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. Matthew 24:3-5, 1 John 4:1
And how exactly does the Bible allow us to filter a true prophet from a false prophet?
A faithful witness will not lie: but a false witness will utter lies. And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. Proverbs 14:5, Matthew 24:11,24
But the prophet, which shall presume to speak a word in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods, even that prophet shall die. And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the word which the Lord hath not spoken? When a prophet speaketh in the name of the Lord, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the Lord hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him. Deuteronomy 18:20-22
Albert Pike, founder and leader of modern-day Freemasonry, has this to say in his book "Morals and Dogma", the de-facto guidebook of masonry:
“Masonry, like all the religions, all the Mysteries, Hermeticism and Alchemy, conceals its secrets from all except the Adepts and Sages, or the elect, and uses false explanations and misinterpretations of its symbols to mislead those who deserve only to be misled; to conceal the Truth, which it calls Light, from them and to draw them away from it. Truth is not for those who are unworthy or unable to receive it, or would pervert it. So masonry jealously conceals its secrets, and intentionally leads conceited interpreters astray.”
He defines that light, which they worship, as the Devil:
Strange and mysterious name given to the spirit of darkness! Lucifer, the son of the morning! Is it he who bears the light, and with its splendors intolerable blinds feeble, sensual, or selfish souls? Doubt it not!
So, why mention Albert Pike? Well, he had some very interesting things to say in three supposed letters written to Italian politician Giuseppe Mazzini, 1871:
The First World War must be brought about in order to permit the Illuminati to overthrow the power of the Czars in Russia, and of making that country a fortress of atheistic Communism. The divergences caused by the 'agentur' of the Illuminati between the British and Germanic Empires will be used to foment this war. At the end of the war, Communism will be built and used in order to destroy the other governments and in order to weaken the religions.
This came true. The political alliances of England on one side, and Germany on the other, forged between 1871 and 1898 by Otto von Bismarck, co-conspirator of Albert Pike, were instrumental in bringing about the First World War. This conspiracy reaches the highest levels of governments around the world.
The Second World War must be fomented by taking advantage of the differences between the Fascists and the political Zionists. This war must be brought about so that Nazism is destroyed, and that the political Zionism be strong enough to institute a sovereign state of Israel in Palestine. During the Second World War, International Communism must become strong enough in order to balance Christendom, which would be then restrained and held in check until the time when we would need it for the final social cataclysm.
This came true. Nazism and Zionism were not publicly known terms in 1871, but both movements were created by the Weishaupt Illuminati, co-conspirators of Masonry who first coined the word communism, and its ideology, four years prior to its teaching. After WWII, at the Potsdam Conference with Truman, Churchill, and Stalin, a large portion of Europe was simply handed over to Communist Russia, while the aftermath of the war with Japan swept the tide of Communism into China.
The Third World War must be fomented by taking advantage of the differences caused by the 'agentur' of the 'Illuminati' between the political Zionists and the leaders of Islamic World. The war must be conducted in such a way that Islam (the Moslem Arabic World) and political Zionism (the State of Israel) mutually destroy each other. Meanwhile the other nations, once more divided on this issue will be constrained to fight to the point of complete physical, moral, spiritual and economical exhaustion. We shall unleash the Nihilists and the atheists, and we shall provoke a formidable social cataclysm which in all its horror will show clearly to the nations the effect of absolute atheism, origin of savagery and of the most bloody turmoil. Then everywhere, the citizens, obliged to defend themselves against the world minority of revolutionaries, will exterminate those destroyers of civilization, and the multitude, disillusioned with Christianity, whose deistic spirits will from that moment be without compass or direction, anxious for an ideal, but without knowing where to render its adoration, will receive the true light through the universal manifestation of the pure doctrine of Lucifer, brought finally out in the public view. This manifestation will result from the general reactionary movement which will follow the destruction of Christianity and atheism, both conquered and exterminated at the same time.
And everything is gearing up for this, too, to come true. Does that make him a prophet?
In addition to the prophecy coming true, the true prophet must meet each and every one of these conditions as described in the Bible:
A true prophet will have their life and their words in harmony with the word of God (Isaiah 8:20, John 8:12, Ecclesiastes 2:13, Psalm 18:28, James 2:10), Christ Jesus will have His rightful position as the only Son of God and the only Saviour of man (Deuteronomy 18:15, John 6:69, Luke 24:27,32, 1 John 4:15), the church as the body and bride of Christ will be edified (1 Corinthians 14:3-4, Revelation 12:17), the true prophet will speak with authority (Matthew 7:29;23:33-34, Luke 3:19), will bear the fruits of the Spirit (Matthew 7:20, Galatians 5:22-23), and in vision will exhibit physical signs of losing strength, falling to the ground with eyes physically open and remaining open for the entirety of the vision, then being strengthened by God whilst standing in vision as the prophet speaks with no strength nor breath of their own (Daniel 10:7-11,16-17, Numbers 24:4).
And what is the response to such prophets as Pike, to those who do not meet these criteria, yet appear to make predictions that just-so-happen to come true?
I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran: I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied. But if they had stood in my counsel, and had caused my people to hear my words, then they should have turned them from their evil way, and from the evil of their doings. Am I a God at hand, saith the Lord, and not a God afar off? Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him? saith the Lord. Do not I fill heaven and earth? saith the Lord. I have heard what the prophets said, that prophesy lies in my name, saying, I have dreamed, I have dreamed. How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets that prophesy lies? yea, they are prophets of the deceit of their own heart; Which think to cause my people to forget my name by their dreams which they tell every man to his neighbour, as their fathers have forgotten my name for Baal. The prophet that hath a dream, let him tell a dream; and he that hath my word, let him speak my word faithfully. What is the chaff to the wheat? saith the Lord. Is not my word like as a fire? saith the Lord; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces? Therefore, behold, I am against the prophets, saith the Lord, that steal my words every one from his neighbour. Behold, I am against the prophets, saith the Lord, that use their tongues, and say, He saith. Behold, I am against them that prophesy false dreams, saith the Lord, and do tell them, and cause my people to err by their lies, and by their lightness; yet I sent them not, nor commanded them: therefore they shall not profit this people at all, saith the Lord. Jeremiah 23:21-32
Since it seems like you may have an appetite for more, might as well mention the power that arises after the fourth beast, right? Here is a little more Biblical food to eat up.
I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things. Daniel 7:8
Remembering the historic continuity, the little horn power comes after the three, the Heruli, the Vandals, and the Ostrogoths, were defeated: the Heruli were plucked up in A.D. 493, the Vandals in A.D. 534, and the Ostrogoths in A.D. 538. Not only would this little horn power arise from A.D. 538, but it also has eyes like a man, and a mouth speaking great things: the little horn power is a blasphemous power characterized by human attributes.
And of the ten horns that were in his head, and of the other which came up, and before whom three fell; even of that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spake very great things, whose look was more stout than his fellows. I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them; Daniel 7:20-21
The little horn power has influence over the other horns, and uses this influence to wage war against they that keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus (Revelation 14:12).
And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time. Daniel 7:25
A blasphemous power in word and in deed, the little horn not only persecutes the people of God, but tries to change the times and laws established by God. The prosecuting aspect of this power would last until a time (a year), and times (two years), and the dividing of time (a half a year). The Bible, using the Hebrew calendar with a typical 30 days in a month, and taking each day for a year (Ezekiel 4:6, Numbers 14:34), gives us three and a half prophetic years, as 1260 prophetic days, being 1260 years.
Emphasizing the importance of the 1260 years, this prophetic time is repeated seven times in the Bible (Daniel 7:25, Daniel 12:7, Revelation 11:2, Revelation 11:3, Revelation 12:6, Revelation 12:14, Revelation 13:5). As the Bible will show us, Daniel and the Revelation interpret each other as they explain the unfolding events of history.
The gold, silver, brass, and iron in Daniel chapter 2 are described by the lion, the bear, the leopard, and the fourth beast in Daniel chapter 7. These same beasts in the book of Daniel, we find in the Revelation:
And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority. And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast. And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him? And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months. Revelation 13:1-5
Here the Bible shows us a conglomerate of the beasts in Daniel: the same number of heads (one on the lion, one on the bear, four on the leopard, and one on the fourth beast, totaling seven heads), the same number of horns (ten on the fourth beast), the same described animals, the same blasphemous power, the same 1260 year prophecy (42 months are 1260 days in the Hebrew calendar). However, at this point of history, the crowns are no longer placed on the seven heads (Revelation 12:3), but are now placed on the ten horns. As history progressed, a shift of power from pagan Rome to the little horn power took place. From this shift of power arose the conglomerate beast with influence over the ten horns.
And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up. And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power: and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practise, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people. And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand. Daniel 8:23-25
This history prophesied by Daniel, partly taking place during the forty and two months, adds some detail to Revelation 13:1-5. The conglomerate beast, being the little horn power, gets its power from the dragon, Satan (Revelation 12:9), and as a persecuting power wields his policy over the ten horns.
Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six. Revelation 13:18
The number of the beast, being 666, is the number of a man. Just as the lion was described as a man with the heart of a man, the conglomerate beast speaks blasphemy with the mouth of a man, and is represented through the eyes of a man. This beast represents the exaltation of man in the systemic worship of man.
While the appearance of the fourth beast changes with the progression of history, its core beliefs and principles remain unchanged. Starting as the unnatural fourth beast, it combines with the little horn power, becomes the conglomerate beast, then near the end of its history, approaches its final form as the woman riding the beast. This is why there is a conquering power described between each of the first four beasts, but not between the fourth beast and the little horn power.
So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. Revelation 17:3
With a woman in the Bible representing a church (Ephesians 5:23), the Bible here shows us an ecclesiastical power, a religious power, which is part and parcel of the same beast power, a state power (Daniel 7:17), having seven heads and ten horns. At this stage of rulership, there are no visible crowns. Being the beast whose wound was only seemingly deadly (Revelation 13:3), this power is in fact ruling without it appearing to be so (Revelation 17:8).
The little horn, the conglomerate beast, and the woman riding the beast, are all different names for the same power. Each name is a description of the power as it changes its form in the continuous stream of history. This power is the foundation of the system of anti-Christ.
Only one power fits each and every characteristic of anti-Christ as described by the Bible: the Roman Catholic Church.
Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them. Acts 20:30
Remember, this is a system that the Bible is describing. There are many people stuck in this system unaware of what they are doing, but are doing the best with what they know. However, if these, and others, do not realize the system in which they belong to, how will they know what to separate from?
And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. Revelation 18:4
Just taking one of the many points described by the Bible, let us learn one way in which the roman catholic church describes itself as spiritual Babylon:
Babylon, Biblical Shinar, was first established by Nimrod (Genesis 10:9-10). This is the same Nimrod who led the world in apostasy by building the tower of Babel. After his death, his mother-wife, Semiramis, taught that Nimrod still lived as a spiritual being. This teaching, the immortality of the soul, is not only Satanic doctrine, as the Bible showed us when picking up the sword of the Spirit, but also roman catholic doctrine:
Catechism of the Roman Catholic Church (self-proclaimed as a “high authority” serving as official exposition of roman catholic doctrine) 366:
The church teaches that every spiritual soul is created immediately by God - it is not “produced” by the parents - and also that it is immortal: it does not perish when it separates from the body at death, and it will be reunited with the body at the final Resurrection.
Semiramis claimed a full-grown evergreen tree sprang overnight from a dead tree stump, symbolizing Nimrod springing forth unto new life from the dead. On each anniversary of his birth, she claimed, Nimrod would visit the evergreen tree and leave gifts upon it. December 25th was the birthday of Nimrod. Semiramis became the Babylonian “Queen of Heaven”, and Nimrod, under various names, became the “divine son of heaven.” Throughout the generations of this idolatrous worship, Nimrod became the false Messiah, son of Baal the Sungod. In this false Babylonish system, being nothing more than a counterfeit portrayal of Genesis 3, the “Mother and Child” (Semiramis and Nimrod reborn) are the chief objects of worship.
In China, Semiramis became known as the “Holy Mother.” The Germans named her “Hertha.” The Scandinavians called her “Disa.” Among the Druids, the “Vigo-Paritura” was worshipped as the “Mother of God.” To the Greeks, she was “Aphrodite.” To the Romans she was known as “Venus,” and her son was “Jupiter.” The “queen of heaven” was named “Ishtar” in the times of Abraham, and when he was called to leave Ur of the Chaldeans, and then the city of Haran, the cult of “Ishtar” was working to unite the world in one ecumenical counsel under their control. Later, the Canaanites, and apostate Israelites would worship “Ashtoreth” (Judges 2:13; 10:6), the name of their “queen of heaven”:
The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead their dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto other gods, that they may provoke me to anger. Jeremiah 7:18
This worship of “Mother and Child” is universal, and the roman catholic church not only partakes of this, but also fits every other characteristic of the anti-Christ as described by the Bible. In the roman catholic church, Semiramis worship takes its form as the veneration of Mary, their “Queen of Heaven”:
From the Encyclical “Ineffabilis Deus”, the roman catholic church declared the Dogma of the Immaculate Conception in 1854: Let all the children of the Catholic Church, who are so very dear to us, hear these words of ours. With a still more ardent zeal for piety, religion and love, let them continue to venerate, invoke and pray to the most Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God, conceived without original sin. Let them fly with utter confidence to this most sweet Mother of mercy and grace in all dangers, difficulties, needs, doubts and fears. Under her guidance, under her patronage, under her kindness and protection, nothing is to be feared; nothing is hopeless. Because, while bearing toward us a truly motherly affection and having in her care the work of our salvation, she is solicitous about the whole human race. And since she has been appointed by God to be the Queen of heaven and earth, and is exalted above all the choirs of angels and saints, and even stands at the right hand of her only-begotten Son, Jesus Christ our Lord, she presents our petitions in a most efficacious manner. What she asks, she obtains. Her pleas can never be unheard.
And if you or anyone else is still hungry, consider reading The Great Controversy for an inspired telling of the 1260 years of history.
Let us go through an introductory study of Daniel and the Revelation to begin understanding, with only the Bible as our interpreter, and having history along with archaeology as our confirmers, who the ten horns are. To do this, we begin with the dream of Nebuchadnezzar and its subsequent interpretation:
Thou, O king, art a king of kings: for the God of heaven hath given thee a kingdom, power, and strength, and glory. And wheresoever the children of men dwell, the beasts of the field and the fowls of the heaven hath he given into thine hand, and hath made thee ruler over them all. Thou art this head of gold. And after thee shall arise another kingdom inferior to thee, and another third kingdom of brass, which shall bear rule over all the earth. And the fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron: forasmuch as iron breaketh in pieces and subdueth all things: and as iron that breaketh all these, shall it break in pieces and bruise. And whereas thou sawest the feet and toes, part of potters' clay, and part of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; but there shall be in it of the strength of the iron, forasmuch as thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay. And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken. And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay. And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever. Forasmuch as thou sawest that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it brake in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God hath made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter: and the dream is certain, and the interpretation thereof sure. Daniel 2:37-45
Over twenty-five centuries of history are given in the dream of a statue: in these few Verses are the rise and fall of kingdoms and empires from the time of Babylon, past our own time, and into time eternal. These centuries of history are given through the dream of a once-heathen king, then interpreted through a messenger of God, so that all may learn and benefit from them. Let us look at some of the details of the dream. The head of gold is Nebuchadnezzar, representing the peak of Babylonian wealth. Each part of the statue represents a kingdom, totaling four kingdoms. Being all part of the same body under the same head, each successive kingdom would have aspects of the body while influenced by the head, as the head is what nourishes the whole body (Colossians 2:19).
After the head of gold, the torso of silver includes two arms of silver. It is then followed by a core of brass, two legs of iron, and feet, along with their ten toes of iron, mixed with potters’ clay. Commencing with gold, the most precious of metals, and continually descending to the most crudest of metals in iron mixed with clay, this conglomerate statue gives up purity for strength, until it is finally dashed to pieces.
The punishment of the statue, stoning, is the same used against knowingly apostate systems (Leviticus 20:27). A stone cut out of the mountain without hands then strikes at the very toes of the body, shattering the whole system. The Stone is the Lord Jesus (Deuteronomy 27:5-6) coming from the kingdom of God (Isaiah 11:9) in the glory of the Father (Matthew 16:27). Thus the earth is allowed to fill the cup of its iniquity, judgment is exacted, then an everlasting kingdom of the God of heaven, where affliction shall not rise up a second time (Nahum 1:9), is set up. This is the final judgment scene at the closing of the earth's history. The Bible helps us identify the kingdoms of Daniel chapter 2 in its counterpart of the chiasm, Daniel chapter 7.
The first was like a lion, and had eagle's wings: I beheld till the wings thereof were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made stand upon the feet as a man, and a man's heart was given to it. Daniel 7:4
We were told that the head of gold is Babylon (Daniel 2:38), and here the first beast is likened to a lion, which is also the animal used to describe Babylon (Jeremiah 4:7). Not only a lion, but a lion with eagle's wings. Babylon too is described as an eagle with great wings (Ezekiel 17:3,12) conquering as swift as the eagle flieth (Deuteronomy 28:49). This Lion would lose its wings as it takes on the characteristics of a man, by lifting itself up and exalting itself as a man. After finalizing the complete systemic worship of man, the kingdom of Babylon would meet its end.
In that night was Belshazzar the king of the Chaldeans slain. And Darius the Median took the kingdom, being about threescore and two years old. Daniel 5:30-31
And behold another beast, a second, like to a bear, and it raised up itself on one side, and it had three ribs in the mouth of it between the teeth of it: and they said thus unto it, Arise, devour much flesh. Daniel 7:5
Coming after the head of gold is the torso of silver, likened to a bear. Just like the torso has two arms, representing the Medes and the Persians, the bear itself is raised up on one side, representing one faction stronger than the other. In Daniel chapter 8, the details of the bear, now likened to a ram, are clearly interpreted:
Then I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and, behold, there stood before the river a ram which had two horns: and the two horns were high; but one was higher than the other, and the higher came up last. I saw the ram pushing westward, and northward, and southward; so that no beasts might stand before him, neither was there any that could deliver out of his hand; but he did according to his will, and became great. The ram which thou sawest having two horns are the kings of Media and Persia. Daniel 8:3-4,20
The ram, having two horns with the higher horn coming up last, similar to the bear being raised on one side, is a description of the Medo-Persian empire. The Persians would become stronger than the Medes despite arising after the Medes. The ram is also seen as pushing westward, northward, and southward. To conquer the entirety of the Babylonian empire-alliance, Medo-Persia had three military conquests against Babylon, Lydia, and Egypt towards those same directions. This gives context to the three ribs in the mouth of the bear.
After this I beheld, and lo another, like a leopard, which had upon the back of it four wings of a fowl; the beast had also four heads; and dominion was given to it. Daniel 7:6
After the Medo-Persian kingdom came the kingdom of Greece. The belly and thighs of brass, representing the Greeks, is likened to this third beast. The leopard, an animal known for its speed, is given wings to further represent the swiftness of the Greek’s conquering speed. The four heads represent the splitting of the Greek empire into four: Cassander had Macedon and Greece in the west; Lysimachus had Thrace and the parts of Asia on the Hellespont and Bosporus, in the north; Ptolemy received Egypt, Lydia, Arabia, Palestine, and Coele-Syria, in the south; and Seleucus had Syria and all the rest of Alexander's dominions in the east.
And as I was considering, behold, an he goat came from the west on the face of the whole earth, and touched not the ground: and the goat had a notable horn between his eyes. And I saw him come close unto the ram, and he was moved with choler against him, and smote the ram, and brake his two horns: and there was no power in the ram to stand before him, but he cast him down to the ground, and stamped upon him: and there was none that could deliver the ram out of his hand. And the rough goat is the king of Grecia: and the great horn that is between his eyes is the first king. Now that being broken, whereas four stood up for it, four kingdoms shall stand up out of the nation, but not in his power. Daniel 8:5,7,21-22
The speed of the goat, showing the speed of the winged leopard, is demonstrated by the goat appearing while Daniel was still in thought, and the goat not touching the ground as it moved with great conquering speed. Named as Grecia, the Greek empire would conquer the Medo-Persian empire, just as the waist would come after the torso, or the leopard would come after the bear. The one horn of the goat represents the single ruler of Greece, while the two horns of the ram represents the Medo-Persian alliance. Some time after conquering the ram, the horn of the goat would be broken with the death of Alexander of Greece, and the kingdom would be split into four weaker parts, also represented by the four heads of the beast.
Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces. Daniel 7:23
Following the structure of the chiasm, with an understanding that prophecy is historic continuous, we know that the fourth beast is represented by the legs of iron, and that this beast is the one which conquers the leopard. The fourth kingdom, conquering the Greeks, is the iron monarchy of Rome. With two iron legs, Rome would later rule through Alexandria in the west, and Byzantine in the east.
And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings. Daniel 7:24
Rome would end up being split into ten kingdoms, just as there would be ten toes on the statue: the Alamanni (Germans), the Burgundian (Swiss), the Franks (French), the Lombards (Italians), the Saxons (English), the Suevi (Portuguese), the Visigoths (Spanish), and the Heruli, Vandals, and Ostrogoths. These last three were the three subdued kings, although most of their history has been erased.
Any type of coin claiming to represent a god is one which represents paganism, since a coin, like any other image or idol, is the work of mans hands. So, let us see what Zeus (and therefore Thor) is representative of, how it relates to gnosticism and roman catholicism, and what the Biblical response is.
Ganymede and Zeus are parts of the Greek continuation of Mithraic worship. Ganymede can be found pictured wearing a Phrygian cap, which originates from Mithra and Mithraism. Ganymede is the cup bearer to Zeus who can be found pictured as an eagle, an animal familiar to america. Esoterically, the eagle, or Hebrew עגל, pronounced "ey-gil", represents an apostate system in the garbs of religion, and the phrygian cap itself represents liberty in the context of servitude. Pictured in official seals of the United States is the phrygian cap, and atop the american flag pole is the roman eagle, esoterically the "ey-gil", but that is a whole other discussion in and of itself.
Let us learn about Mithraism, the religious structure of roman catholicism:
In different languages today, the name pa-pa is still used to describe the pope.
Today, the Vatican's St. Peter's Basilica stands on the very spot on which the last Taurobolium, the sacrifice of the Mithraic bull, took place. This happened at the end of the fourth century, in the Phrygianum, the temple dedicated to Cybele, which is just another name for Anaita, or another name for Semiramis.
Just as the Mazdeists believed in the immortality of the soul, and just as roman catholicism believes in the immortality of the soul, so too does gnosticism. Everything is not about what name these societies take upon themselves, but it is about the mindset which they aim to deliver to the world. And this mindset, along with their lies, originated with the serpent, Satan:
But is this true? What does the Bible teach about death and the soul?
The teachings of roman catholicism stem from the very same greek school of thought as gnosticism. The teachings of purgatory, completely anti-Biblical and anti-Christ, started with the greek teachings of elysium. The roman catholic teaching of the common good comes from the greek teachings of natural law. The two are not at logger-heads, because they are one and the same.
Gnosticism, roman catholicism, and any other form of proposed wisdom whose foundation lies in the teachings of the serpent, is the character of Satan made manifest in humanity.
Through this lie of the serpent, F. Tupper Saussy, in his book "Rulers of Evil", aptly describes the historical relationship between gnosticism and roman catholicism:
The system of roman catholicism did not suppress, but rather championed, the spread of gnosticism throughout the world.
Now let us hear what the Bible has to say about this very same "hidden, esoteric knowledge" which flatters the minds of men.
The word for science is gnosis: moral wisdom, such as is seen in right living; the deeper more perfect and enlarged knowledge of religion, such as belongs to the more advanced. The Bible says to have nothing to do with gnosis, being the foundation of gnosticism spread through the Alexandrian school of the west.
There are no secrets, no esoteric knowledge to make humanity as immortal gods knowing good and evil, for nothing is secret that shall not be made manifest. Do not go to the teachings of the world for these answers, but go to the Bible with personal and prayerful study. Ephesians chapter 1 is a wonderful starting point.
The prince of this world, Satan, who delivers to the world his mindset through his agents of gnosticism, spiritualism, judaism, fallen protestantism, buddhism, freemasonry, jesuitism, the knights templars, the order of the bath, etc. etc. the list goes on, spearheads his troops through roman catholicism. All of these are systems delivering a mindset to the world whose foundation are the three lies of the Devil.
In realizing this mindset, and its pervasive attributes through all the traditions of the world, there is a call to come out and be separate. If going out of roman catholicism and into gnosticism, there is no separation, for with a truthful and honest study, the mindsets which the two ascribe themselves to are the same. These agents employ their means for the sole end of bringing the world into their light, their truth:
This light is not one of hidden knowledge and existential enlightenment, but one of spiritual death, dearth, and darkness.
The Word of God, written directly in the Bible for all of humanity, is the only source of knowledge which not only describes the problem, but provides the solution. The appeal is to have a conversation, to reason together in a direct relationship with God, to understand the freedom and comfort found in the warmth of the true and only Light, Jesus Christ:
