The boundaries of GOD’S protection lie only in truth, “as the truth is in Jesus.” Eph.4:21. 

     With the attention given to the pope’s resignation there is a culmination taking place in light of Bible prophecy that every Christian and non-Christian should consider. And it deals with miraculous displays, through whose events the whole world will become converted after the modern order of things. Strange developments are on the horizon of our day. 

     Why is this issue so important to have a full understanding of? For churchmen to deny the Bible’s prophecies concerning the fate of an eternal grave for those who choose to remain bonded with their sins is to assault the Great Love of GOD in His rescue of the human race; and this in turn removes the truest sense of urgency of the Gospel call, that men might turn from their chosen path of sin, and embrace the Love of GOD demonstrated through the sinless life, sin-bearing death, and victorious resurrection of Jesus Christ. By the world’s religions including Christianity perverting the meaning of both death and Christ’s judgment the church has removed the logical, ethical and legal framework of Christ’s salvation, literally amputating the superlative doctrine of all Scripture: “the power of his resurrection.” Phil.3:10 

     I just read a document of a new “vision” given by the supposed “Virgin Mary.” I say “supposed” because the Bible warns to have nothing to do with the dead, whether it is the deceased Mary, Catholic Saints or a loved one in your own family. Anyone with an experience in a séance knows exactly what I’m saying. 

     The following is a true story, and it is directly related to the Apostle Paul’s warning: “But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.” Gal.1:8 

     A dear Catholic friend of mine, Joanne, was truly assaulted with a satanic encounter when she believed the Bible’s teaching on the value of obedience to all ten of the Commandments of Jesus Christ (not just obedience to eight, which the Vatican evangelizes) as well as the Bible’s definition of death, which the Bible repeatedly refers to as “sleep.” Jehovah, the angel Gabriel, Job, Jesus and the Apostle Paul called death "sleep" (Deut.31:16; Dan.12:2; Lu.8:52-55; Jn.11:11-14; I Cor.15:51; I Th.4:14). Job said: "So man lieth down, and riseth not: till the heavens be no more, they shall not awake, nor be raised out of their sleep." Job 14:12. The Apostle Paul taught the same (I Cor.15:50-58). Not until the resurrection, at the call of Jesus do any in the grave taste again of life. As Joanne rejoiced in the logic and plainness of the Scriptures she was soon lured into a satanic deception aimed at hers and her family’s destruction. A supernatural manifestation was shown to her little girl, who came to her and said, "Mommy, my guardian angel is visiting me in my bedroom: come and see." Joanne and her Pentecostal friend went into the bedroom but could not see the angel; only her little girl was allowed this rapturous vision. Being leery, the Pentecostal friend prayed, "I pray this house be covered in the blood of Jesus." Suddenly, blood covered the walls of the little girl’s bedroom that only Joanne’s little girl was allowed to see. Joanne began to ask questions of the angel. The angel would answer to the little girl and the girl would relay the answer to her mother. After only a few minutes, the “Virgin Mary” appeared; and soon after came the appearance of “Jesus” Himself. Joanne asked a question to the one who appeared as Jesus, "What was the great work you did while you were here on earth?" The response was silence. Joanne asked her little girl, "What did he say?" She said, "He’s just sitting there smiling, mommy." Joanne then knew that this was a demonic deception threatening the soul’s salvation of her own little girl. She then said, "In the name of the LORD Jesus Christ I command you to leave my daughter." And they all left, including the blood on the walls. 

     Do you see how intense things are progressing in the last great struggle over the souls of men? I know this woman. This was her testimony to me. And she was not lying. Other well-known testimonies include a woman who claimed Christ showed her the lake of fire; and as they walked along its banks, the poor, tortured souls would cry out, “Help me LORD,” “have mercy LORD;” and this woman said that Christ just kept walking, facing ahead, showing no emotion, ignoring their pleas for help. Another devout Catholic lady was given visions by Satan’s impersonation of the “Virgin Mary,” who commanded this lady to write a book, where she took a dictation, word for word from “Mary.” And this is promised to every Catholic to be GOD’S leading hand. In the middle of the book, these words of "Mary" are recorded, "I tell you the truth." What did Jesus say of Satan? “He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.” Jn.8:44. You can find this book right next to "His Holiness," the pope’s book in Walmart. Sadly, in the eyes of heaven, these books are no less ungodly than the books of Harry Potter, Agatha Christie, or Stephen King; for to work against the truth as it is "in Christ" is to work against life, period! 

     All throughout history demons have appeared before men as angels, saints, loved ones, ghosts and goblins, and have been promoted in every culture and religion, literally haunting people by the millions, frightening little children to tears generation after generation. Even the Devil’s impersonation of the Virgin Mary has rapped in vision vulnerable little Catholic girls, showing them the tormented souls of countless men in the flames of hell, speaking the soft-spoken words: "This is where the sinners go." This was the testimony of a Catholic lady named Conchita Gonzalas, in the movie, Armageddon. 

     Why does not GOD have the legal right to protect people, including little girls from the deceptive magic of Satan? The rules of engagement between Christ and Satan are little understood in the church; and this ignorance makes them vulnerable. To venture onto Satan’s enchanted ground is to come under his jurisdiction; and he will stretch his authority as far as he is allowed. It all lies over the issue of people’s free will. Because of their freedom to believe as they themselves choose to believe (or are led to believe through the opinions of others) this makes them subjects of Christ or of the Devil in the principles of life, and there is no neutral ground. 

     In closing, the Bible teaches that “the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.” Rev.19:10. This gift from our Creator/Saviour has correctly guided His True Church from the beginning, and His True Church has never evangelized sin. But there are boundaries where Jesus stands helpless to intervene, solely due to His eternal gift of the freewill. This is why the Bible says, “I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live.” Deut.30:19. Those who abandon Christ’s jurisdiction to protect, bless, and save will become ensnared with a counterfeit spirit of prophecy masquerading as Christ obedient. And between unrepentant men who “loved not the truth that they might be saved” and the devil’s bewitching power the whole world has been cultivated to believe the devil’s prophecies, to the end that they “believe a lie that they all might be damned who believed not the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.” II Thess.2:12 

     But the LORD’S remedy is always simple: “Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else.” "Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life [our source of immortality], and enter in through the gates into the city." Isa.45:22; Rev.22:14.
