“And
I heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my Lord, what shall be
the end of these things?
9 And
he said, Go your way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed
till the time of the end.
10Many
shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do
wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall
understand.”
(Daniel
12:8-10 )
I
wrote this message several years ago, but I feel it is time to review
what is happening around us, and the rise of the Beast power
influenced by the false prophet Events are building rapidly that
point to the end of days being upon us. Control of the masses is
becoming evident everyday, especially when chaos and fear over this
so called “plannedemic” of the CoVID-19 that is being used for
political control of the masses of humanity.
PROPHECY
OF THE BIBLE BEING FULFILLED.
Understanding
that the Bible is 25% + prophecy, and that to understand the whole of
the bible, one must come to learn the meaning of the books of the
Bible that deal with prophecy and it's fulfillment. The Bible has
been and will be 100% accurate in its predictions of things to come.
No other book gives the reader so much difficulty than the Book of
Daniel and the last book of the Bible, Revelation. Each have symbols
and passages that speak of things to come. Things that have been
completed as prophesied and things yet to occur. In this message we
will deal with the Prophecy noted in the title found in Daniel and
then later, jump to Revelation and show their connection to the time
of the end.
GABRIEL
REVEALS THE FUTURE TO DANIEL
In
Daniel, the prophet had a vision that started in chapter 10 and goes
through unbroken till the end of the book in chapter 12. Even though
there are chapter breaks in our bible, they were not there in the
original manuscripts and proceed with one vision that Daniel had been
given to him by this angel from Almighty God.
In this vision,
Daniel is given details that tells of the coming future events, long
before they had even happened. Many of these verses in Daniel lay out
historical events starting with the kingdom of Babylon and goes
forward through the kings of Persia, Alexander the Great, the split
of Alexander's kingdom into four regions by four of his generals, and
proceeds to give details of each struggle of each ruler and king that
sought power in the region of the Middle East, even unto the coming
of the Roman Empire with it's Caesars ruling during the time of Jesus
Christ and the subjugation of Jerusalem and Judea by it's
forces.
Rome became the most powerful nation on earth during
the time of this vision prophesied and would remain a regional power
up until the time of Constantine, when things began to disintegrate.
This implosion of the Roman Empire began in the year 330 A.D. It was
in this year that Rome ceased to be the city from where all ruling
was done and the base of the kingdom. It was at this time
that Emperor
Constantine moved
the seat of power to Byzantium, later called Constantinople, in the
west. Then Rome was to rise up and have indignation against the holy
covenant, or the true Gospel or those who hold fast the true
profession of faith. But how did they do this?
HISTORICAL RISE
OF THE “HOLY ROMAN EMPIRE”
The
Emperors of Rome began to be united with the Bishops of Rome who had
departed from the true Gospel as they had turned to worshiping
angels, saints, and martyrs. Superstitious
ceremonies were woven into everyday life. Wakes and banquets for the
dead were celebrated; the relics of the saints were collected and
adored, and they pushed aside the council of Christ by uniting church
and state:
20 “And
he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription?
21 They
say unto him, Caesar's. Then saith he unto them, Render therefore
unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto God the things
that are God's.” (Matthew
22:20-21.) .
This
move, of uniting the church with the state, was done to increase the
stability and power of the state. “Thus
the state within the state was abolished; the strongest political
force then to existent, to wit, the church, was made the cornerstone
of the state. Both parties, the emperor and bishops, were equally
well pleased.”
(Historians History of the World pgs 639, 640, 642.)
This
all began with Constantine, who had “converted” to Christianity,
or the form that was evident during his reign that brought him more
power. Christianity no longer was persecuted within the empire. It
proceeded so to exterminate the heresy of Arianism held by the three
powers that overran the “Eternal City” namely the Heruli, Goths
and Vandals. Emperor Justinian decreed in 533 A.D that the Bishop of
Rome would be the head of the entire “church” and rid the
church/state of heresies. Many faithful were scattered abroad through
the crumbling Roman Empire that refused to bow the knee to the newly
created head of the “church”, the Bishop of Rome. Thus began the
transition of the Paganism of Rome into the Papal Rome.
(Notice
to the reader: I seek not to make inflammatory remarks against any
religion, but let history speak for itself and confirmed by bible
prophecy. Sadly, one religion that is present on this earth has
fulfilled the prophecy spoken of in Daniel and it begins and ends
with the Catholic Church. So I must use their name.)
“And
arms shall stand on his part, and they shall pollute the sanctuary of
strength, and shall take away the daily sacrifice, and they shall
place the abomination that maketh desolate.” ( Daniel
11:31)
History
shows us that in 496 A.D. Clovis, King of the Franks converted to
Catholicism, recognizing the Bishop of Rome as head over all the
church, corrector of heretics and vicar of God on earth. Thus he
places his armies at the disposal of the Pope to defend the faith,
expand her borders and correct the heresies currently so popular in
the Western Empire. Between 496 and 508 A.D., Clovis used his
military forces to convert idolaters to Romanism, through alliances,
capitulations, and conquests, the Arborici, the Roman garrisons in
the West, Brittany, the Burgundians, and the Visigoths, were brought
into subjection. They gave up their pagan attachments, but only to
perpetuate its abomination in another form called Christianity. The
Christianity of the Catholic Church was and still is only baptized
paganism.
Many in the failing empire of Rome refused to
submit to the Bishop of Rome, meaning the Vandals, Ostrogoths and
Heruli, all avowed Arians, refused to acknowledge the Bishop of Rome
as head over the churches and opposed the Catholic Emperor. Justinian
sent his army with General Belisaris to take care of the opposition.
After defeating the Vandals, and the Heruli only the Ostrogoths
remained. The Goths retreated and allowed Belisaris to enter Rome
unopposed. They then in a better season laid siege to the city: which
they held for over a year. However, the siege that included the
entire nation in its attempt was a bitter failure and that remnant of
Goths that remained abandoned the city to Belisaris and disappeared
from history. Thus by the year 538 A.D. there remained no opposition
to the Pope of Rome to take the seat of the Empire to
himself.
“And
such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by
flatteries: but the people that do know their God shall be strong,
and do exploits.”
( Daniel
11:32) IN
this verse we see a connection with Daniel 8:11-14,
“Yea,
he magnified himself even to the prince of the host, and by him the
daily sacrifice was taken away, and the place of the sanctuary was
cast down.
12. And an host was given him against the daily
sacrifice by reason of transgression, and it cast down the truth to
the ground; and it practiced, and prospered.
13. Then I heard one
saint speaking, and another saint said unto that certain saint which
spake, How long shall be the vision concerning the daily sacrifice,
and the transgression of desolation, to give both the sanctuary and
the host to be trodden under foot?
14.
And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then
shall the sanctuary be cleansed.” (Daniel 8:11-14)
Even
during this time, called the Dark Ages, there were many that would
not submit and did heroic deeds for the cause of the Gospel with self
sacrifice who kept the pure Word of the Gospel alive. These were the
Waldenses, Albigenses and Hugenots. Papal Rome would hunt down these
groups and destroy them by whatever means available by sword,
torture, fire, or being thrown off a cliff to their
destruction.
“And
they that understand among the people shall instruct many: yet they
shall fall by the sword, and by flame, by captivity, and
by spoil, many days.
34 Now
when they shall fall, they shall be holpen with a little help: but
many shall cleave to them with flatteries.
35 And
some of them of understanding shall fall, to try them, and to purge,
and to make them white, even to the time of the end: because it is
yet for a time appointed.” ( Daniel
11:33-35)
Highlighting
the words in the above passage, “and by spoil, many days” refers
to the many days to the much repeated 1260 years of Papal Supremacy
over Europe. There would be war between the Protestant governments
and the Papal Governments until those who would escape the
persecution fled to a fledging country just discovered, the newly
founded government of the United States of America. The end of papal
supremacy was ended in 1798 when the Pope was taken prisoner by
Berthier of the French army, and to all intents and purposes the
power that had fueled the inquisition and the persecution of heretics
was stopped. Papal power was broken and received a deadly wound.
Although such persecution has existed and still does exist today in
many places, the scope and control of such persecution is extremely
limited in contrast to its jurisdiction under the Dark Ages.
Papal
Rome has never regained the power she once had, up to modern times.
But make no mistake, she lusts after regaining her former power and
glory and works behind the scenes by mixing the religious affairs of
the Papal state with the politics of the secular world. But mark this
word, she will rise again.
“And
the king shall do according to his will; and he shall exalt himself,
and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvellous
things against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the
indignation be accomplished: for that that is determined shall be
done.
37 Neither
shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor
regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all.
38 But
in his estate shall he honour the God of forces: and a god whom his
fathers knew not shall he honour with gold, and silver, and with
precious stones, and pleasant things.
39 Thus
shall he do in the most strong holds with a strange god, whom he
shall acknowledge and increase with glory: and he shall cause them to
rule over many, and shall divide the land for gain.” ( Daniel
11:36-39)
Who
on earth would this describe, even in our modern era? You say the
Pope in Rome and you would be right. The king of the north described
here is the Pope in Rome, as she had conquered through various armies
all the land surrounding papal Rome. As Daniel, when discussing
the issue of Pagan Rome, outlined secular events involved in the rise
of this power and then retraced the time and outlined specific
characteristics of Pagan Rome, so in discussing Papal Rome here he
outlined the rise of the power in Daniel verses 30-35 and then
retraces his steps and outlines the characteristics of the Papacy in
verses 36-39.
The Papacy had total control over the king
and queens of Europe and on threat of excommunication, enforced their
will on secular governments. This is true to the point of death, that
no other god could be acknowledged, but the Pope in Rome. So in
Daniel 8:25, 11, we see that the Papacy would magnify himself in his
heart and also to Jesus Christ the Prince of the host, for he claims
to be the Vicar of Christ, or God on earth. This man blasphemed God
by taking attributes that are Divine and belong to solely to God in
Heaven (John 10:30-31) and claiming to have the right to forgive
sins. (Mark 2:5-7) This is an affront to the God of Heaven to
do so. Further, the “church in Rome” decided to change the
Sabbath to Sunday worship based on pagan practices of sun worship to
lead men away from the Creator to the false god, the Pope in Rome and
their sole power and supremacy. God has allowed this indignation to
be accomplished and when it is fulfilled, the end will come.
NEITHER
SHALL HE WORSHIP THE GOD OF HIS FATHERS.
This
is attributed to the French Atheistic Revolution but in context
references that “he magnifies himself above all other gods”, even
the God he claims to represent. His fathers worshiped the God
of the scriptures, the God of heaven, however, the papacy regarded
the gods of the pagans under a “Christian” garb. Also it claimed
that the wafer was actually God and thus it is worshiped as though it
is God, carried about as any pagan deity might be in celebrations and
processions, and ultimately eaten that the devotee might possess it
for their “salvation”. This is but one of many of their rituals
and doctrines that lead men away from God and to Rome.
The
above verse speak of the desire of women which could mean several
things. I've heard that the coming Anti-Christ, which the Papal Roman
church could be a forerunner of such a system or the even the real
deal, will be a homosexual. Hmmm, could be. Other interpretations is
that during the time of Christ, that women dreamed of being the
mother of the Messiah, so the man doesn't desire the Messiah produced
by a virgin according to scripture. In other words, he doesn't truly
believe in the Lord Jesus Christ or desire to follow Him in spirit
and in truth. Another interpretations, is the celibacy of the
Catholic priesthood, if you can find one that is actually celibate to
his calling and not found pleasure in little boys, or Catholic
nuns. Not all priest do these things, but a subset have been
found guilty and protected by their hierarchy in this
church.
Further, the subsequent popes have elevated
saints, and the worship of Mary. Even in places where there seemed no
desire to follow the pagan practices of Catholicism had Mary worship
developed and taken hold. In fact, in the religion of the American
Indians, the Tibetan Dalai Lama and even the Hindus are the
prophecies of a woman who is to come and bring peace to the world.
Thus the world was being prepared in the most unexpected places to
accept Catholicism as the world spiritual leaders. I'm sure the
virgin Mary, should she be alive today would never have envisioned
being elevated to the same level as the Messiah she brought into the
world. Popes in Rome have made edicts and papal bulls to make Mary in
an exalted position of Co-mediatrix, co-redemptrix with
Christ.
“Neither is there salvation in any other: for
there is none other name under heaven (Jesus Christ) given among men,
whereby we must be saved. (Acts 4:12).
To elevate any
other mortal on earth, no matter their station in life or the
righteousness imparted to them by God through Jesus Christ our Lord,
is blasphemy against a Holy God.
THE
FINAL ANALYSIS OF THE DOWNFALL OF THE “HOLY” ROMAN CHURCH
“In
1798 the king of the south, France began an ongoing war against the
king of the north, Catholicism. Atheism continued to develop its
ideology and reached another stage of growth at the Bolshevik
Revolution of 1917. Communism continued the war against Catholicism
attempting to bring the former empire of Papal Rome into its grasp,
but in time, Catholicism mounted an overwhelming counterattack. The
king of the north swept away the entire structure of the king of the
south/communism, entering into all the countries of the former Soviet
Union and her tributary states. This overwhelming attack came with
the military and economic assistance of the United States of America.
This alliance repeats the history of Clovis, when “arms shall stand
on his part.” Could this point to Revelation 13, teaching that soon
the United States of America will speak as a dragon, and then force
the world to also form an image to the beast? Daniel 11:40 is the
first historical manifestation of this end-time unholy
alliance.” (Taken
from The
Final Rise and Fall of the King of the North by Jeff
Pippinger.)
This
quote plays back to my prior assertion that an unholy trinity will
develop between Papal Rome and the United States of America and the
coming Anti-Christ. Who the man is can only be speculation on
anyone's part, I believe the man will not be fully revealed until the
church is removed from this earth. He/She could be the POTUS, or the
Pope in Rome, or some unidentified monarch/dictator of Middle Eastern
descent.
But Paul warned that apostasy will come in the
last days:
“Let no man deceive you by any means: for
that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first,
(apostasy) and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; v4.
Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or
that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God,
shewing himself that he is God.” (II Thessalonians 2:3-4)
The
Papacy will enter into God’s church. This is done through the
doctrines of Catholicism coming in and being accepted into the
Remnant Church. That is, apostasy from the truth of God. Just as
during the initial rise of the Papacy in the dark ages, those who
were against the holy covenant united with the false church to
promote its agenda. (This could also be applied to the inculcating of
the false doctrines of Catholicism into Protestantism.)
Many
shall be overthrown
and many shall be taken in by the false doctrines that are coming in
amongst them. These false doctrines that permeate the Catholic Church
will be enforced by the alliance of the Papacy and the United States
of America is my hypothesis.Egypt
shall not escape -
“40 And
at the time of the end shall the king of the south push at him: and
the king of the north shall come against him like a whirlwind, with
chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter
into the countries, and shall overflow and pass over.
41 He
shall enter also into the glorious land, and many countries shall be
overthrown: but these shall escape out of his hand, even Edom, and
Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon.
42 He
shall stretch forth his hand also upon the countries: and the land of
Egypt shall not escape.” ( Daniel
11:40-42)
Egypt
is both a reference to Atheism, (symbolized in the Bible as the land
of sin with her idols) and also to symbolize the secular world. Thus
this reference is to state that after a Sunday law is enforced all
the religions of the world will unite to accept it. Even secular
countries, or non-Christian countries will come under the Papal
decree enforced through her alliance with the United States of
America. Papal Rome will wield power over the whole earth, as the
verse speaks of power over silver, gold and precious things of Egypt
(the atheistic world). This is referring to economic power. The
Papacy will control all trade etc. in the world, through such laws as
the prohibition to buy or sell without the mark
of the beast. (Revelation
13:16-17)43 “But
he shall have power over the treasures of gold and of silver, and
over all the precious things of Egypt: and the Libyans and the
Ethiopians shall be at his steps.
44 But
tidings out of the east and out of the north shall trouble him:
therefore he shall go forth with great fury to destroy, and utterly
to make away many.
45 And
he shall plant the tabernacles of his palace between the seas in the
glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come to his end, and none shall
help him.” ( Daniel
11:43-45)
Daniel
is being told that the papacy will be frustrated because of the
witness of many saved individuals that believe the Gospel message,
either by the 144,000 Hebrew evangelists, the two witnesses at the
Temple Mount, or those saved because of their message. This is the
Loud Cry of the fourth angel of Revelation 18, which comes against
the Papacy’s attempt to control the entire world and bring it under
its false teachings. This group who are giving the Loud Cry are the
only ones who stand in the way of full control for the Papacy. Thus
their strong Biblical message under the power of the Latter Rain of
the Holy Spirit (See Revelation 18) causes much consternation and
frustration for the Papacy. As seen before many will accept this
message and “escape” from under its tyranny.
ISRAEL
THE DOOR, JERUSALEM ,KEY TO END OF DAYS
8 “I
heard, but I did not understand. So I asked, “My lord, what will
the outcome of all this be?”
9 He
replied, “Go your way, Daniel, because the words are rolled up and
sealed until the time of the end.
10 Many
will be purified, made spotless and refined, but the wicked will
continue to be wicked. None of the wicked will understand, but
those who are wise will understand.” (Daniel 12:8-10)
The
prophet Daniel did not understand, and was not given to him to
understand, because the time of the end was far into the future. No
one has understood this prophecy until one thing happened in our
modern age. What happened is that Israel became a nation again, and
the fig tree put forth her leaves. Jesus said:
“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.
Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not
pass, till all these things be fulfilled.” (Matthew 24:32-35
KJV)
When Israel became a nation again, those that were
alive to see its birth or born in that generation, that generation
will still be alive when all things are completed. That tells me that
Jesus will be reigning and ruling on this earth, and I may even be
alive to see His coming. Why do I say that? Because the bible tells
us that man is appointed 70 years, 80 years by strength. (Psalm 90).
Not making any predictions or assuming a date or year of the return
of our Lord Jesus, simple addition tells me the general area of the
completion of this prophecy. In the last 72 years, Israel has become
a stumbling block to all the world. Not a day goes by that Israel is
not in the news in the negative and the world powers trying to force
a peace treaty between the Palestinian Authority and the government
of Israel.
We see politics and threats of yet another war
on the world stage daily. The former so called “POTUS” was trying
to force Israel into a date with death, and world powers at the UN
demonizing this small country and ignoring all the human rights
violations of other countries that blatantly torture and kill
Christians and Jews. We see the present papal office sticking their
self righteous nose into the affairs of the secular world and
bringing doctrines that fly in the face of the true Gospel of Jesus
Christ. It all centers around Israel, because Jerusalem is the center
of God's world here on earth. Satan hates Israel, hates God and hates
anyone connected to them by biology or spiritual awakening to the
Gospel of Jesus Christ, who as we know was a Jew Himself while here
on earth.
Remember in the first parts of this message that I
spoke that Rome lusts to regain the power she lost during the 18th
century in 1798 when the Pope was imprisoned? How will that be
accomplished, if at all?
THE
MERGING OF THE STATE AND THE PAPAL CHURCH
What
I'm about to discuss here is not all my own thoughts, but the
thoughts and beliefs of a brother I converse with in South America.
When asked how this will be accomplished, the friend of mine had an
interesting theory...Mind you, it is only conjecture on anyone's part
how the coming of the Anti-Christ will come upon the earth, but his
analogy leaves one wondering and scratching their head.
“And
there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is
not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short
space.
And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the
eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.” (Revelation
17:10-11)
Based on this passage which in reading it, is a most
strange passage in the bible, but this is my friend's theory and it's
most interesting:
“Most of Pre-millennial Protestants
have nowadays a better and clearer sight than our brothers in the
third century. We ought to be all expecting the Rapture of the
Church. Most believers deem that it will happen after the Apostasy
which shall take place just before the appearing of the
eschatological Antichrist. But thanks to God there is diversity of
opinions and some are getting aware that Apostasy is here today, and
has infected at least 90 % of the local churches, and that a pope may
be the eschatological Antichrist as our fathers of Reformation were
wont to teach dogmatically. I will talk about pope Number 5, because
he is the one who prepares the way for pope Number 6: the
eschatological Antichrist. Number 5 is actually molding the proper
profile that is convenient for Number 6 when he be ready to take
control over the EU; the new Roman Empire which shall be the head of
the New World Order. But before we go any further let us remind our
readers the reason why I call Francis I the pope Number 5. We find it
in Revelation 17:
9 “And here is the mind which hath
wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman
sitteth.10 And
there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is
not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short
space.”
This
is a mysterious passage, isn’t it? However there is a clue to that
mystery which unfolds it and makes it crystal clear to anyone. I have
this clue, and although I cannot say that it is for sure the right
interpretation, nevertheless it is the most simple, literal and
contemporary one you can find among the multitude of available
interpretations. This is at least good hint! Time will tell after
Francis I burial whether the Holy Spirit showed me the truth about
the 7 kings or whether I was mistaken as many others…”
THE
KINGS OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE
“According
to verse 10 these 7 heads are also 7 kings. Now who are the kings of
Rome? Everybody knows that for more than 15 centuries the real kings
of Rome have been the popes, wherefore I do assume that these 7 kings
are 7 popes. The angel says to John at the precise moment he gives
him this vision that 5 kings are fallen.
What
kind of fall can be deemed if we compare these 5 popes with the long
list of the rest of them? The answer is easy: it is a fall from their
traditional arrogance, it is a fall from their pretenses, and it is a
(temporary and seemingly) doctrinal fall. Remember the Catholic
church received a deadly wound in the 1700s that has not fully
healed. As a matter of fact all popes before the ecumenical council
of Vatican 2 proclaimed openly and dogmatically their absolute
supremacy above all religions. They were the only and exclusive
Church of Jesus Christ whose popes were the vicars whereof. They used
to say and teach that without submission to the pope there was no
salvation.
Protestants
were just a bunch of heretics they had to fight, and the Bible
societies were just devilish organizations. Since Pope Nicolas I
(858-867) started to use the crown as a king founding his pretenses
upon a forged document called “The donations of Constantine”
which claimed that the emperor Constantine had made the popes heir to
the entire Roman Empire, since then the Caesars in religious costumes
have pulled it off. Till Vatican 2 the aim was to subdue all secular
powers, all nations, and all kingdoms. They also increased at the
same time their spiritual pretenses so as to fulfill their arrogance
in issuing the dogma of papal infallibility in 1870.
Nevertheless
after WW II when their puppet (Hitler) fell. (Bear in mind that
Hitler and his entire clique were all Roman Catholics who were never
ever excommunicated). So when Hitler passed away they had to change
their politics and profile. Until Pius XII (Hitler and Mussolini’s
friend), Rome thought she could re-establish her dominion by her
dogmatic pretensions and the Jesuits cunning craftiness, but the
victory of the Allies, the shame of the Nazi Holocaust and the new
born Hebrew State in 1948 supported by the USA put an end to any
public and dogmatic arrogance. They had to make a sudden cosmetic
change so as to turn the Roman wolf into a harmless lamb; they
definitely fell! So they descended from their clouds of arrogance and
presumptions and since John XXIII they have been making a big show of
humility and brotherly love.
Remember
that according to the Roman canonical laws no priest loses his “holy
unction” as long as he lives, even if he gives up his functions and
does not minister sacraments any longer. That is why pope # 6 will
step down for a while as the chief of the Roman Catholic Church so as
to comply with the EU regulations, and this will entail new elections
in Rome so as to replace # 6 by # 7. I believe that Number 7 will be
the false prophet of Rev. 16: 13 and 19:20, if the 7 kings are the
last 7 popes… In effect pope # 7 will exalt with all kind of signs
and wonders former for pope # 6, so that the entire world will be
lulled into following the devilish agenda of the Antichrist.
Once
Pope# 6 has full sway of the EU, he will become instead of president,
the new Caesar. Then # 7 will step down and give him back his
functions as a new pope: pope # 8. Then will come to pass what was
the common to all emperors of the former empire: the Caesar was chief
of the State and a god to be worshiped. But this pope after a short
time as # 8 will claim to be the only true God and not only the Vicar
of the Son of God. At that time he will break the covenant he had
done 3 1/2 years before with the Jews, allowing them to rebuild the
temple and perform their sacrifices and rituals in it, and he will
come in the temple and set up a TV broadcast inside the holiest
demanding the whole world to worship him in front of their TV sets
(the image of the beast: Rev. 13:15, 14: 11). So the ministry of # 7
will be short; it will last until # 6 becomes the supreme leader of
the EU and of the ecumenical Roman church which will have absorbed
all religions.
Therefore
it is written: “the beast that was, and is not, even is the eighth,
and is of the seven”, which simply means that the Caesar who
existed during the former Roman Empire, does not exist when pope # 6
becomes the president of the EU (the new Roman Empire), but he makes
part of the seven latter popes and become in fact the eighth because
he retakes his functions after # 7 when he gets a total control of
the new Roman Empire. This last Caesar will not only demand worship
but he will also eagerly looking forward to get the people
chipped in their right hand and forehead promoting the mark of the
beast for economical transactions.” (end quote)(Gilbert Lillo, Rise
of the Anti-Christ)
Are
you still with me? Troubling is it not? This present Pope is nothing
but a forerunner of the coming man of lawlessness, using his Jesuit
training to usher in the foundation of a New World Order and a One
World Religion...Remember the UN with it's Agenda 21 and Sustainable
Development that was discussed by many authors on this site,
including myself? But how can you protect yourself from falling prey
to this imp of Satan? By arming yourself with the truth of God's
Word..by believing and accepting Jesus Christ as your personal Savior
and allowing the Holy Spirit to lead you into all truth.
“Howbeit
when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all
truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall
hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.”
(John 16:13)
“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
17 For
God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that
the world through him might be saved.
18 He
that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is
condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the
only begotten Son of God.”...(John
3:16-18)
8 “But
what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy
heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;
9 That
if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt
believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou
shalt be saved.
10 For
with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth
confession is made unto salvation.
11 For
the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
12 For
there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same
Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.
13 For
whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.”
(Romans 10:8-13)
