XI. How To Understand The Closing Events Having an intellectual ascent of the Word of GOD is no evidence
of a saving relationship with Jesus Christ. Nor is great intellect synonymous with elevated godliness. This is readily seen
by contrasting the cold, calculating mind of Satan (with a minimum IQ of 3000) with that of a little five year old girl who
has very little experience and understanding in life but who prays every night at her bedside, "GOD bless Mommy. GOD
bless Daddy. GOD bless my friend. And GOD bless my doggy. Thank you Jesus, amen." The little girt who looks to Christ
for friendship and trust is infinitely smarter than the one who has rejected Him, regardless of life’s experience or
religious scholarship. This is evidenced by the words of Jesus to His disciples, "Verily I say unto you, Except ye be
converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven." Matt.18:3. The precious nature
of children is such that when they are shown the choices of life that are avaiable, their little hearts naturally gravitate
to the best of those choices.
It
is precisely on this theme illustrating that great intellect is no indicator of godliness that Christ said to the religious
scholars of His day, "Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God." Matt.22:29. These were men who
boasted their vast knowledge of the Scriptures, and through this religious discipline they commanded and received the homage
of men. And yet, Jesus declared of these men that they were Biblically illiterate. How profound are the Savior’s Words,
then and today. A man can know the Bible backwards and forwards, but to circumvent the intended lessons GOD desires him to
understand makes that man spiritually illiterate, and therefore clumsy and misled in his service to GOD the Father and the
LORD Jesus Christ. In
the day when Jesus walked among men, and the Jews infused a complex, elaborate intellectualism to GOD’S plan of salvation,
the end result produced the certainty that every popular view of prophecy and ceremonial parade would play a role in the Jews
rejection and crucifixion of Jesus Christ. Among their scholars it was argued, "Search, and look: for out of Galilee
ariseth no prophet." Jn.7:52. The reality was: their minds were made up prior to their search, for Jesus said, "If
any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine." Jn.7:17. The Jewish nation including the disciples of Jesus
Christ were raised from childhood to believe these common views and traditions. These popular doctrines led even the disciples
of Christ to struggle with the Savior’s teaching, even to the point of refusing the Savior’s earnest declaration
for them to understand that He was destined to die as "the Lamb of God." Said Jesus very concisely, "Let these
sayings sink down into your ears: for the Son of man shall be delivered into the hands of men. But they understood not this
saying, and it was hid from them, that they perceived it not: and they feared to ask him of that saying." Lu.9:44. The
disciples feared to ask Jesus of His words simply due to their expectations based on Jewish pride coupled with Rabbincal theology:
a thousand laws of men outside of Bible guidelines: teachings that made GOD in debt to them for salvation, demanding to be
saved by their method and not GOD’S. Their whole religious system fostered pride which in turn led to their ruin and
dispersion among the nations. "Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall." Prov.16:18.
This pride was evidenced by the religious leaders of the day whose prayer Jesus quoted, saying, "The Pharisee stood and
prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as
this publican [standing next to me]. I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess." Lu.18:11,12. Keep
one thing in mind, the Bible called for only one fast a year on the Day of Atonement (Lev.23:27-30); and yet, by the time
Christ came on the scene the burdens laid upon the people by the religious theocracy were enormously taxing and treacherous
to the human soul. In fact, the only ones who could obey the minutia of Judaism’s version of religious law were the
religious leaders themselves. In other words, unless you were a full time minister it was impossible to obey all the requirements
they said GOD demanded for one’s salvation. This celebrated tutoring, strictly enforced by the church, luring through
pride the consent of all was the very system that would compel the rape of the dignity and nobility of Christ the LORD. After the resurrection of Jesus
Christ the disciples were still bound by unbelief due to their vain allegiance to the ruling teachings of prophecy in Judaism.
This led to the Savior’s words of reproach, "O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken:
Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory? And beginning at Moses and all the prophets,
he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself." Lu.24:25-27. (What a beautiful Bible study
that must have been, given by the Glorified Son of GOD!)
Christians today are deceived by the popular views no less than the disciples of Christ. Our religious leaders today are no
more wise than those self-serving leaders of old. This is readily apparent by the promotion of today’s views of Bible
prophecy, making the church exempt from the Bible’s list of crimes against humanity prophesied for the Christian era.
These, coupled with Unbiblical traditions and rituals of the church circumvent reason and truth: the two sacred avenues GOD
uses to reach the hearts of men with the knowledge of salvation. Of this Paul stated, "God our Saviour; Who will have
all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth." I Tim.2:4. Our mind’s ability to reason is our
most precious strength: it is the gift of GOD to reach your heart: "Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD."
Isa.1:18. Reasoning with GOD through the prayerful study of His Word is the most valuable education available to man, woman,
or child. The Inviolate
Word
GOD’S truth has been miraculously preserved, being conveyed through the "Received Text" manuscripts of the
Old and New Testaments. There were two versions, one in Latin and one in Greek. The Greek "Received Text" (written
by the Apostles themselves) was edited and assembled by the LORD’S true servant and scholar, Lucian of Antioch who lived
in the third century whose heaven ordained work was to preserve the Apostles original Greek manuscripts with no corruption
or insertion of independent ideas. Lucian’s Bible was preserved by the Greek Church for centuries until the great Dutch
scholar, Erasmus restored it to Christians in western Europe at the time of the Reformation. There was also the original Latin
"Received Text" known as the Itala. This true "Latin Vulgate," first written from the days of the Apostles
to no later than 120 A.D., was the Bible of Patrick of Ireland, Columba of Scotland, Aiden of England, Dinooth of Wales, Hilda
the Abbess of Whitby, Columbanus of Europe, as well as the humble mountain Christians called the Waldenses, Albigenses and
Vaudois who, with various names throughout the centuries lived in the mountain regions of Europe. The result of these two
versions of the Apostle’s Received Text became the beloved King James Bible. The KJV is a diligent, prayerful union
of these two "Received Text" Bibles, for they are the only two texts that can historically be traced back to the
hands of the Apostles themselves. The
Bible contains invaluable wisdom to build one’s understanding, fortifying our strength of will to follow the path marked
out by GOD according to our talents, experience and circumstances of life, as well as expose the devil’s many snares
laid out before us to hurt us and those we love. Sacred Scripture is declared by Jesus as the criteria to judge every man
who has ever lived: "the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day." Jn.12:48. This is why
Christ warns the "scholars" of Christianity: "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: And
if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life,
and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book." Rev.22:18,19. The same warning against
tampering with GOD’S Word is found in the Old Testament (Deut.4:2). As a result of today’s Christian views that are antagonistic to
the words of Christ the churches are no more ready for Christ today than when the Jews cried "away with Him," because
manmade religion has created fictitious expectations in the minds of millions of Christians. And should Christ come today
the nominal Christian church would reject Him no less than the Jews of old because Christ would not meet the selfish expectations
of today’s Christian leaders whose views and theology is so pagan in foundation that Christ could not hold His peace,
but He would rebuke the many sins that are bringing ruin to so many of His children. His love for men and His galant loyalty
to uphold His Heavenly Father’s honor could not hold His tongue! But men love power more than GOD. Christ’s rejection
is being fulfilled today no less than when it was said in His day, "But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after
him, saying, We will not have this man to reign over us." Lu.19:14. Ceremony over obedience The mechanical rote
of religious ceremonies forms a hypnotic monotony, which only strengthens the hold of sin on the lives of professing Christians,
transforming them into spiritual zombies. As a result, the very essence of reform has been overruled by men who assure the
world of their obedience to GOD through the rituals and standards of religious scholarship in the church. But ceremonial exhibitions
are no evidence of obedience to the LORD of Creation (Amos 5:21-23). Because the foundation of this false piety and scholarship
is built on sand it will not stand, for none of it is founded on the Word of GOD (Matt.7:26,27). John the Baptist saw the
grotesque hypocrisy masquerading obedience to GOD. "When he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism,
he said unto them, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come? Bring forth therefore fruits
meet for repentance" Matt.3:7,8. The common man could not recognize the ravening wolves in sheep’s clothing. They
only saw their religious leaders as pious and caring: "Surely if anyone loved God it was they. John’s been out
in the wilderness a little too long." But these were the leaders that led men to cry, "Crucify him, crucify him."
"His blood be on us and on our children." "We have no king but Caesar." Historical parallel to our day By investigating the gradual apostasy of Judah,
leading to the utter collapse of that nation in 605 B.C., one discovers that when ancient heathen rites infiltrated Judaism
GOD was increasingly dishonored, and He eventually left the temple, leaving the Jews to their chosen god (Satan). These same
pagan traditions have likewise contaminated Christianity, thereby corrupting the purity and holiness of the gospel message
before an unbelieving world. The snares of Satan that led the children of Israel into sin and to their eventual destruction
are being repeated with an identical success in the flow of today’s events (Eccl.1:9; I Cor.10:11). Israel’s fall
was merely a model of what is to become of the United States of America; and our ruin is as guaranteed as was the ruin of
ancient Israel (Jer.4:26). Basically,
the age-old traditions, first established in the worship of Nimrod (the world’s first among many "false Christs"),
his wife, Semiramis, and her bastard son, Tammuz (the original Madonna and child), are still thriving today within the Christian
Church, thousands of years after their deaths. Ancient legend teaches that Nimrod ascended to the sun after he died (Hislop,
The Two Babylons). This false belief inaugurated traditions of ancient sun/Nimrod worship that have been held in every culture
and continent of earth, carried all through time, even being incorporated into today’s Christianity through the traditions
of the Roman Catholic Church whose religion is a hybrid of pagan sins and the message of Christ. The world’s oldest
tradition of pagan idolatry is Sunday sacredness, which, from its very inception has always undermined the 7th day Sabbath of the Fourth Commandment, ever working to overrule GOD’S joyful
rest in providing everything for His childrens everlasting happiness. GOD calls all men to enter His Rest: the everlasting
joy Christ restored through His conquering of Satan’s kingdom of sin and death. Soon after Nimrod’s death, his widow, Semiramis became
pregnant. To maintain her hold on the power established by Nimrod she declared that he descended from the sun and divinely
impregnated her. She gave birth to a son, Tammuz, who was born on Christmas day, and he was heralded before the world as the
son of god (their god being Nimrod). But as a little boy, while training his skill as a hunter, Tammuz was killed by a wild
pig at the time of what is now called Easter. Hence began the ancient traditions of Christmas and Easter. Even the tradition
of eating ham on Easter Sunday has its origin in the story of Tammuz. This false religion was the original Madonna and child, and this has
been carried all through time, even to the place of preeminence in the Roman Catholic Church in the person of the Virgin Mary,
thus bringing shame and dishonor to Mary as the mother of the Christ of GOD. Mary, heralded today as "Queen of the Universe"
was also worshipped in Judah (seventh century B.C.) under the old title: "the queen of heaven" (Jer.7:16-20). The pagan traditions of ancient
sun worship that Christianity holds today played a leading role in the fall of both Israel and Judah (Eze.8:13-18). And the
great sin of these pagan traditions, Sunday sacredness (in violation of the Fourth Commandment) was declared by Israel’s
priesthood as blessed of GOD. This ancient pagan "tradition of men" continues to this day to violate GOD’S
Memorial of Creation and Christ’s salvation: the Seventh-day (Saturday) Sabbath of the Fourth Commandment. When Israel
determined to forever disobey the Sabbath they crossed the point of no return. And when the Roman Catholic Church discarded
"the LORD’S day," GOD’S "holy day," "the seventh day" in the early centuries of
the Christian religion they also crossed the point of no return (Rev.1:10; Isa.58:13; Ex.20:10). And now, today’s Christianity
in Protestant America is following these very same steps of apostasy that will lead our nation of America to ruin no less
than it led ancient Israel to ruin: "Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for
our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come. Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall."
I Cor.10:11,12. The
words of "the LORD" are unmistakable: "Heaven and earth shall pass away, but My words shall not pass away."
"Verily my Sabbaths ye shall keep: for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations; that ye may know
that I am the LORD that doth sanctify you." "Notwithstanding the children rebelled against me: they walked not in
my statutes, neither kept my judgments to do them, which if a man do, he shall even live in them; they polluted my Sabbaths:
then I said, I would pour out my fury upon them, to accomplish my anger against them in the wilderness." "And the
word of the LORD came unto me, saying, Son of man, say unto her, Thou art the land that is not cleansed, nor rained upon in
the day of indignation. There is a conspiracy of her prophets in the midst thereof, like a roaring lion ravening the prey;
they have devoured souls; they have taken the treasure and precious things; they have made her many widows in the midst thereof.
Her priests have violated my law, and have profaned mine holy things: they have put no difference between the holy and profane,
neither have they showed difference between the unclean and the clean, and have hid their eyes from my Sabbaths, and I am
profaned among them. Her princes in the midst thereof are like wolves ravening the prey, to shed blood, and to destroy souls,
to get dishonest gain. And her prophets have daubed them with untempered mortar, seeing vanity, and divining lies unto them,
saying, Thus saith the Lord GOD, when the LORD hath not spoken. The people of the land have used oppression, and exercised
robbery, and have vexed the poor and needy: yea, they have oppressed the stranger wrongfully. And I sought for a man among
them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found
none. Therefore have I poured out mine indignation upon them; I have consumed them with the fire of my wrath: their own way
have I recompensed upon their heads, saith the Lord GOD." Matt.24:35; Ex.31:13; Eze.20:21,22:23-31. "Whosoever committeth sin is the servant
of sin." "Except thou repent" "ye shall die in your sins." Jn.8:34; Rev.2:5; Jn.8:21. As a result
of our religious leaders pride in their self-styled religion, people will be brought into dire straits as this world draws
to its close: "It shall even be as when an hungry man dreameth, and, behold, he eateth; but he awaketh, and his soul
is empty: or as when a thirsty man dreameth, and, behold, he drinketh; but he awaketh, and, behold, he is faint, and his soul
hath appetite: so shall the multitude of all the nations be." Isa.29:8. When the painful lessons of the past are forgotten, the
door is open for their repetition. And yet, to know what is to come before it comes is key to the Christian’s victory
as the closing scenes of earth’s present history unfold as the Savior said, "Behold, I have told you before"
"that when the time shall come, ye may remember that I told you of them." "So…when ye see these things
come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand." Matt.24:25; Jn.16:4; Lu.21:31. By connecting the dots of historical events
in Scripture it becomes very apparent what will transpire as circumstances rekindle humanity’s abuses of the past and
cause their repetition in our day. The
three principles addressed in this study will be:
1. Prophecy exposes the "nakedness" of Unbiblical-
Christianity 2. The
churches blindly following miracles regardless of their utter disregard to the plain "Thus saith the LORD" 3. The age-old civil war of Christianity,
which festers until the world’s final battle ushering the Second Advent of Jesus Christ: "Armageddon" All throughout history men
have esteemed themselves superior to GOD, His Word and those who strive to obey His Word. Today’s church leaders have
united with this self-exalting spirit, dictating that allegiance to their religion is more important than allegiance to the
Word of GOD, one's sense of reason, and even the GOD-given traits of human decency, which historically religious men have
always trampled under foot. They always have and always will enforce through a heartless tyranny "teaching for doctrines
the commandments of men." Matt.15:9. They merely wait for the opportunity to bring their "revival" of religious
oppression to today’s America, and from here to the rest of the world. The very last words of the book of Judges sum
up the selfish pick-and-choose philosophy ruling all the religions of earth including today’s Christianity: "Every
man did that which was right in his own eyes." The Bible's wisest man, Solomon, warned against this nearly-unanimous
view, "There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death." Prov.14:12. How do you best sabotage man's
cry for Truth? From the ranks of those nearest to its revelation. This is why GOD has ordained, that "judgment must begin
at the house of God" (I Pet.4:17). For they, standing nearest to GOD'S revelation to man, the Holy Bible, have setup
a system of espionage to divert the Christian away from the very Truth that sets them free—"as the truth is in
Jesus" (Eph.4:21). "The tradition of men" has created such a deep rooted system blending truth with lies, obedience
with disobedience, virtue with betrayal that the coming religious empire masquerading as Christian that "must continue
a short space" (Rev. 17: 10), will divide the whole world and reveal but two classes of people in the end of time: those
with the "seal of GOD" and those with the "mark of the beast." The warning of the three angels of Revelation
14 clearly denotes this soon to be fulfilled prophecy: "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. 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. 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. Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that
keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus." Rev.14:6-12. The book of Revelation focuses on the identity of those with the "seal
of God" verses those with the "mark of the beast." The student of Scripture is led to examine the timeless
principles GOD set forth in the Old Testament, for one half of the verses of "The Revelation of Jesus Christ" (Rev.1:1)
were drawn from "the law and the prophets." So, those who are illiterate of the timeless principles set forth in
the Old Testament are guaranteed to be misled in their expectations of what the future holds. 1. Are the prophecies of Revelation yet to come, as the church teaches, or did they begin in
the first days of the newly established Christian church? Revelation
1:3 __________ is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and _______ those things which are written
therein: for ______ ________ ____ ____ _______.
The prophetic time-line of the book of Revelation began in the days of the Apostle John. In other words, the history of Christ's
Church is revealed from its commencement to its destination in the Earth made new. Also, the history of the unfaithfulness
of the Roman priesthood is included in this book of the Savior’s prophecy. This is verified by the prophet Daniel when
he recorded GOD’S timeline of earth’s kingdoms from his day to the close of time (Daniel, chapters 2 & 7).
And the fourth and last ruling kingdom is Rome. The Savior of men, Jesus Christ came to declare His salvation to all men in
the infancy of Roman rule, and throughout the modern era Rome has influenced every nation under the sun, holding to this day
the place of preeminence in both religion and tradition.
The churches today assure the congregations that the prophecies of Revelation do not include the atrocities of murder and
persecution perpetrated by the Roman church during her 1,260 year reign, as prophesied seven times in Scripture (Dan. 7:25,
11:33, 12:7; Rev. 11:2, 12:6, 12:14, 13:5) where an estimated fifty million people perished by the command of the Roman priesthood
to Europe’s civil leaders. The heinous atrocity of the Spanish Inquisition, under the sanction and blessing of the pope
is declared by our church leaders as exempt of any prophetic inclusion in Scripture. Even the cold blooded murder of 70,000
Protestant Christians in the St. Bartholomew Massacre in France, where Pope Gregory XIII, cardinals, and ecclesiastical dignitaries
held celebrations and a parade, with church bells ringing in victory from every steeple (Reference, Henry White, The Massacre
of St. Bartholomew, ch.14, par.34): and all history of religious abuse masquerading as Christian is assured by today’s
ministers of exclusion from the Word of GOD.
Today’s theologians have even removed the very legitimacy of the Protestant Reformation and have disqualified the founding
work of the great reformers, Wycliffe, Huss, Luther, Tyndale, Wesley and Knox who are now declared as deceivers in this knowledge
proclaiming the pope of Rome as the Great Antichrist of Scripture with his self-appointed title adding up to 666 in the three
Biblical languages of Hebrew, Greek and Latin.
As Cain and Abel represent the two branches of humanity: one unrighteous and the other righteous, so the book of Revelation
denotes the history of two women, one faithful, and the other unfaithful, while both claim fidelity to Jesus Christ in wedlock.
These women of prophecy represent the two branches of Christianity of the modern era whose origins extend back to the two
opposing schools of theology of the third century: the school of Antioch, which upheld the grammatical, historical interpretation
of the Scriptures, having no sympathy with mystical modes of thought; and, the other: the school of Alexandria, which mingled
sinful traditions of pagan idolatry with the purity of the Christian faith, therby corrupting the call of GOD for every man
to repent of all known sin. Of
the adulterous church the Bible says, "And the woman [the Corrupt-Church] was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and
decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her
fornication: And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS
OF THE EARTH. And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus."
Revelation 17:4-6. This prophecy refers to the age of religious tyranny exercised by the Holy Roman Empire against all who
opposed papal supremacy. History is littered with the record of atrocities against Christ’s faithful church. Most of
this history has been surgically removed, books destroyed, ancient records burned, histories secretly removed from libraries.
Today’s Christian church has deleted over 15 centuries of church history from Bible prophecy. The covert activity and
sabotage against the gospel by the false prophets and Biblically illiterate priests will only come to light in the great judgment.
If the Cold War between Communism and Capitalism produced extensive espionage and diversionary tactics to secure the upper
hand, how much more would they be utilized to the destruction of souls. Even though it is Satan, "which deceiveth the
whole world," the means of his success of securing the downfall of the majority of men, both in and out of the church,
is through disobedient men professing a lawless Gospel message. 2.
Does Scripture verify the Holy Roman Empire in prophecy? Daniel
2:31-34 Thou, 0 king, sawest, and behold a great image. This great image, whose brightness was excellent, stood before thee;
and the form thereof was terrible. This image's head was of fine gold, his breast and his arms of silver, his belly and
his thighs of brass, [v.33] His legs of iron, his feet _______ ____ _______ and _______ ____ _______. Thou sawest till that
a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay, and brake them to pieces.
Daniel 2:37-45 Thou, 0 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 [Babylon]. And after thee shall arise another kingdom inferior to thee [Mede and Persian Empire], and another
third kingdom of brass [Greece, under Alexander the Great], which shall bear rule over all the earth. And the fourth kingdom
[Rome] 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, for 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 [Rome] 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. (v.45) 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 _______ _______ _______ ____ ______ ___________: and the dream is certain,
and the interpretation thereof sure. Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, was shown
the history of the kingdoms of earth to the close of time. The student of history will see that GOD'S Word was true; for
four ruling kingdoms can be traced through the history of western civilization (those associated with the family of Abraham).
Reviewing, once more, the kingdoms of Bible prophecy: Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece, & Rome (pagan and papal eras). Because
"iron" represents Rome (first phase of Roman dominion), the last kingdom of earth, "part of iron, and part
of clay," is the offspring of Pagan Rome, which is Papal Rome, The Holy Roman Empire (Second phase of Roman dominion).
Papal Rome is discussed in these other passages of New Testament prophecy: II Th.2:3-10; I Tim.4:1-3; Dan.11:31-39; 7:25;
8:25; Rev.12:6; 13:1-10; 17. Therefore, the focus of the book of Revelation deals specifically with the fourth and final kingdom
of earth’s present history: Rome.
The 1260 prophetic day/literal year prophecy specified in Dan. 7:25, 11:33, 12:7; Rev. 11:2, 12:6, 12:14, 13:5 was fulfilled:
from the years 538 to 1798: from the year Justinian's decree went into effect, granting the bishop of Rome (the pope)
rulership over all Christians, with a power over civil authority to persecute all heretics; to the year when France's
General Berthier took the pope captive (in 1798), holding him prisoner until his death. The French government enacted into
law a decree declaring the pope to no longer have any authority that the Scripture might be fulfilled: "And I saw one
of his heads as it were wounded to death: and his deadly wound was healed [when Musolini enacted into law the restored authority
of the pope in 1929]: and all the world wondered after the beast" (Rev. 13:3): "The pope is the best hope we Baptists
have."—Jerry Falwell. We
are now living in the closing moments of the last great kingdom of Bible prophecy. Parallel passages of this prophecy declare
that Christ will come and crush the Biblically mutinous system of Catholicism along with her apostate daughter, Apostate Protestantism;
for she will neither repent nor let go of her controlling authority over the people of earth. In summation, The Roman Catholic
Church is earth's ruling religion whose sole purpose is to baptize men into sin! None can claim a greater influence; none
can claim a superior financial status; and none have been associated with greater demonstrations of the miraculous not to
mention the long history of religious bigotry. 3.
How do we know the fate of destruction awaits the Vatican when Jesus Christ returns in the clouds of glory? Daniel 2:35 Then was ____ ______, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold,
broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshingfloors; and the wind carried them away, that ___
_______ ____ _________ ____ ______: and the stone [Christ] that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole
earth. 4. Are miracles the standard by which
to trust the leading hand of GOD as so many declare to be so? II
Corinthians 11:13-15 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.
And no marvel; for ________ himself is _______________ into ____ _________ ____ __________. Therefore it is no great thing
if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works. II Thessalonians 2:9 Even him [the great dictator of the Christian
church], whose coming is after the working of Satan with ____ ____________ and ________ and __________ ______________. Deuteronomy 13:1-4 If there arise among you a prophet, or a dreamer
of dreams, and giveth thee ____ __________or ____ ___________, And the sign or the wonder come to pass, whereof he spake unto
thee, saying, Let us go after _________ ______, which thou hast not known, and let us _________ _______; Thou shalt not hearken
unto the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams: for the LORD your GOD proveth you, to know whether ye love the
LORD your GOD with all your heart and with all your soul. Ye shall walk after the LORD your GOD, and fear Him, and keep His
commandments, and obey His voice, and ye shall serve Him, and cleave unto Him. 5. How dangerous to one’s salvation can demonstrations of miracles be? John 5:2-4 Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep market a pool, which is called
in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porches. In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt, withered,
waiting for the moving of the water. (v.4) For an ________ _______ _______ at a certain season into the pool, and troubled
the water: whosoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of ______________ __________ ____
_____. This
"healing ministry" was in competition with Christ’s healing ministry, leading people away from the Savior
through a pretense of benefit to their lives. Each time the "angel" (not a holy angel but an unholy, fallen, despicable,
cowardly, and insatiably cruel demon) "troubled the water" a frenzy would take place. Those who were stronger than
others would trample under foot the weaker to be the first in the water. The devil would then reward the winner of the cruel,
selfish competition with the temporary healing of "whatsoever disease he had." But virtually all the others, of
men, women, and children perished on the banks of the pool while waiting for a deliverance that would never take place. Jesus
Christ, on the other hand was not partial in His love nor a respecter of man: He would never bless one to the neglect of another,
"and great multitudes followed him, and he healed them all." Matt.12:15. Galatians 1:8 But though we, or an ________ _______ ___________, preach _____ ________ __________
unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. The Apostle Paul warned of demons capabilities to impersonate himself
or the other Apostles as well as present themselves as glorious beings with amazing powers and knowledge: all designed to
harden men in sin and thus secure their eternal ruin. 6.
What determines the church's obedience or disobedience to the gospel of Christ? Isaiah 8:20 To ____ _____ and to ____ ________________: if they _________ _____ according to
this word, it is because ________ ____ ____ __________ in them.
"The law" is the Ten Commandments. "The testimony" is the Holy Bible. If the Christian will not honor
both, the Spirit will not raise him to eternal life. John
14:15 If ye love Me, _________ _____ _____________________. 7.
Has the Christian Church honored His commandments? I
Peter 4:18 And if the righteous __________ ____ ________ where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear? The Apostle Peter is referring to those whose
names are on the church books. The word "scarcely" is safely defined as not one in twenty. This translates to the
"hard saying" that less than five percent of all professing Christians will escape the condemnation of sin, and
will find themselves standing side by side with those whose sins, although maybe more severe, are no less disqualifying of
the presence of the Holy Spirit (whose power alone resurrects the believer in Christ to everlasting life). Paul made this
perfectly clear, "And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.
But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also
quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you. Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live
after the flesh. For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body,
ye shall live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God." Rom.8:10-14. The heart of this issue is of course the theme
of GOD’S call to every man, "Repent." Repent from what? "Sin." What is sin? "Whosoever committeth
sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law." I Jn.3:4. The Apostle Peter specifically warned
of the Vatican’s apostasy: "For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after
they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them." II Pet.2:21. These very words of Peter, (by
whom the pope claims to have received the scepter of his authority), condemn the very existence of the Roman Catholic Church.
But their love affair with pagan rituals and sins overrules reform: their complacency has surrendered the will to accept a
life of sin. They demand to be saved in sin instead of from sin. This works against the first fruit of believing the gospel,
which is repentance. If a man who abuses his wife apologizes, then moments later abuses her again, of what value was his apology?
This illustrates what is so common among church leaders and members: a shallow repentance, where a general lack of remorse
prevents the needed reform to understand the detestable nature of sin and separate from its moldering influence. Without meeting
the Bible’s conditions of salvation this opens the floodgates for fraudulent doctrine to bear sway over the church.
And this is where we find ourselves today, inundated with religious falsehood. Matthew 7:21-23 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of
heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not
prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? [v.23] And then will
I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that _______ __________. "Iniquity" is selfishness. And the exercise of
selfishness is the expression of sin. Christ can have no companionship with those who live in sin while leading others to
follow their path. Herein lies the great danger for multitudes of Christians who refuse to harness truth on their own and
develop their personal discipline of obedience to the lessons GOD desires their success to achieve. And where failure occurs
GOD leads them to walk over the same ground again until victory is assured. We rest in His power in and through us to bring
us the victory. Luke 22:24-26 And there was also a strife
among them [the disciples], which of them should be accounted the greatest. And He [Jesus] said unto them, The kings of the
Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and they that exercise authority upon them are called benefactors. ______ ____ _________
______ ____ ____: but he that is greatest among you, let him be as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that doth serve.
This is Christ's
explicit command: no disciple of His is to lord authority over their fellow man. Our forefathers honored this principle of
separation of church and state, giving it preeminence in the First Amendment of the United States Constitution, which reads:
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion nor prohibiting the free exercise thereof."
In writing the first amendment our forefathers understood the ethical logic of Jesus Christ when He spoke those magnificent
words to His disciples on the night of The Last Supper. All who claim to follow Jesus Christ are to regard religious tyranny
as a sin. Fact: every freedom held as sacred by us as Americans has its origin in the gospel of Jesus Christ: everything from
freedom of speech to freedom of worship. And these freedoms can only be insured through man’s freewill choice to honor
the Ten Commandments. Not eight [Catholicism]. Not nine [Protestantism]. But Ten [Adventism]. The relationship of GOD’S
Ten Commandment Law to the United States Constitution is simple: On the one table of stone GOD Himself engraved the first
four Commandments: these address your personal relationship with GOD, and no one has the right to impose on you how your relationship
is carried out. This allows the wide variety of religions to carry out their chosen convictions. But on the second table of
stone are engraved the last six Commandments. In these lie the perfect rule of government to order our daily lives. Our forefathers
understood that honoring the last six would guaranty the mutual safety of every American citizen. The obvious lesson of history
reveals that these are the ones that when violated have caused every tragedy to befall the human race throughout time. And
the study of religious history reveals that whenever the first four Commandments are violated this always leads to the violation
of the last six. This has ever been the danger of uniting church with state. In the eyes of Christ this is an unholy union,
for the union of church and state led to His own torture and crucifixion. Historically, Roman Catholicism and Protestantism
have disobeyed our LORD'S simple command guarantying freewill in GOD’S worship. But Paul uplifted the perfection
of freewill offerings when he said, "Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly,
or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver." II Cor.9:7.
Despite the wonderful freedom GOD has given to every man, as well as the liberty of conscience which the fathers of this nation
gave to every American in the U.S. Constitution, our freedom has been and will always be considered heresy to power-hungry
Christians: "The absurd and erroneous
doctrines or ravings in defense of liberty of conscience are a most pestilential error—a pest, of all others, most to
be dreaded in a state. "—Pope Pius IX, Encyclical Letter, August 15, 1854. The very existence of our nation's freedoms are still
to this day condemned and declared heresy by the teachings of the Roman church. Pope John Paul II, in his Encyclical Letter,
Deus Dominos, has called for the exaltation of the Christian Sunday to be enforced by law, in direct violation to the first
amendment of the Constitution. The very last issue to face the world before its final and utter destruction is over a globally
accepted law commanding the worship of GOD. Imposing Sunday sacredness is the means whereby this is achieved. In order for
Satan's Grand Finale to succeed, the sin must be considered of no great threat to the lives of people. And yet, the fact
remains that our religious leaders view the world’s oldest tradition of pagan idolatry (Sunday sacredness) as vital
to human survival. This is evident in the legislated laws contained in the Emergency Powers Act, which imposes a national
Sunday Law on the American people should our country be threatened with national ruin. The very destruction of this country,
the very thing that today’s church leaders fear the most and claim to work to prevent, Bible prophecy declares that
they will bringing to pass. The Bible is emphatic that today’s Christianity will bring Armageddon, not atheism, Islam,
Buddhism, Hinduism, nor any other religion. This is evidenced by the words of the LORD’S servants David and Paul, "It
is time for thee, LORD, to work: for they have made void thy law." "Be not deceived; GOD is not mocked: for whatsoever
a man soweth, that shall he also reap." Ps.119:126; Gal.6:7. In summation: The church must overthrow the Constitution
of the United States of America to gain an absolute authority that Christ never ordained and commanded should never exist!
8. If the simple commands of Jesus Christ are disregarded,
will that lead to greater disobedience to the Gospel of salvation? Luke
16:10-15 He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and _____ _______ ____ ________ ____ ______
__________ ____ ________ _______ ____ ________. If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will
commit to your trust true riches? And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another man's, who shall give you
that which is your own? No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he
will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve GOD and mammon. And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard
all these things: and they derided Him. And He said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but GOD knoweth
your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed before men is abomination in the sight of GOD." 9. Are Catholicism and Protestantism united in their mutiny against the Ten Commandments
of Jesus Christ? Luke 4:16 And He [Jesus] came to Nazareth,
where He had been brought up: and, ____ _____ __________ _____, He went into the synagogue ____ _____ __________ _____ and
stood up for to read. I John 2:6 He that saith he abideth in
Him ought himself also so to walk, _______ ____ ____ __________.
Christ kept holy the seventh-day Sabbath "according to the commandment," and the church is called to "walk
even as He walked." And yet, the selfish pick and choose theology of most denies Christ's admonition, "Man shall
not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of GOD." Following the age-old traditions
of pagan idolatry guarantees disobedience to the gospel of Christ and all who follow suit will find themselves in the same
position of condemnation before a loving GOD. 10.
Why is the issue over Sabbath keeping so important? Luke
16:17 And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than ______ __________ ____ ______ ______ ____ ________. John 8:58 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you,
Before Abraham was, ___ _____. Jesus
Himself gave to the world the Sacred tables of Stone. The Bible teaches that Christ was the Father’s Instrument in the
Creation of all things. The leading attribute of Jesus Christ is that of Creator. Over 800 verses of Scripture verify this.
And only one of the Commandments honors Him as our Creator, and now Savior: the Fourth Commandment: the law that men in the
church have disgraced for nearly eighteen centuries. To the GOD-Revering Christian, the Seventh-day Sabbath represents a sacred
time of GOD’S joyful rest, knowing that He created all things that guarantee the eternal happiness of the creatures
formed by His hands. GOD has provided everything that will meet the needs of His children forever, including today’s
desperate need for man to understand His salvation and the method whereby this was achieved. This is why Jesus said, "The
Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath: Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the Sabbath." Mk.2:27,28.
Keeping holy the Sabbath day truly represents the Christian’s faith in Jesus Christ: resting in Him to fulfill all that
He has said He will do. "Verily my Sabbaths ye shall keep: for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations;
that ye may know that I am the LORD that doth sanctify you." Ex.31:13. Who sanctifies us? GOD. What is the sign or seal
of our faith in GOD’S promise? The Sabbath. The Bible teaches that the Sabbath is the seal of our faith, and therefore,
"the seal of God." 11. Will the Seventh-day Sabbath be honored
in the new earth? Isaiah 66:22,23 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. (v.23)
And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from _____ ___________ ____ __________, shall ____ flesh
come ____ _________ before me, saith the LORD.
Through all eternity intelligent beings will enter the Holy Rest of GOD, the day of His joy, the day where He could rest in
the knowledge of providing, securing and maintaining the fulfillment of every desire of His children forever. 12. In spite of all the evidence overturning our religious leaders
views that stand condemned before the love and Law of GOD what is the predominant decision of today's Christian, which
will cause their eternal ruin? 1. Samuel 8:4,5 Then _____ ____ ________
____ ________ gathered themselves together and came to Samuel unto Ramah, And said unto him, Behold, thou art old, and thy
sons walk not in thy ways: _____ _______ _____ ____ _________ ____ __________ ____ like all the nations. When the responsibility for your salvation
is placed in the hands of another man you become a party to all decisions made under his jurisdiction. This includes government
leaders as well as our religious leaders. The dangers lay in the sins they commit. In the animal kingdom we see the end result
when the herd follows their leader off a cliff, or lemmings, when they purposely drown themselves in the sea. As an example
among men, review what Adolf Hitler led his country to become during the Nazi regime. In a few short years he led the German
people to be held responsible for the murder of an estimated 50,000,000 men, women and children. 13. What is GOD'S response to anyone who chooses to have men rather than GOD
to lead them? 1. Samuel 8:7 And the LORD said unto Samuel,
___________ unto the voice of the people in all that they say unto thee: for they have not rejected thee, but _______ _______
___________ ____ that I should not reign over them.
Liberty of conscience lies at the heart of GOD'S salvation. One's freedom of choice GOD will never deny. The greatest
gift next to life is the freewill to choose. It is the only means GOD uses to win the hearts of His children: "Every
man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give, not grudgingly, or of necessity: for GOD loveth a cheerful giver."
II Corinthians 9:7. 14. Concerning this issue of people’s
blind trust in others for their personal salvation, what is a repeated admonition GOD calls our attention to? Psalm 146:3 Put not your trust in ___________, _____ ____ _____
______ ____ _____, in whom there is ____ _______.
In spite of this counsel America’s religious leaders declare, "The Pope is the best hope we Baptists have."—Jerry
Falwell. "The pope is the spiritual leader of the world."—Billy Graham. Why is the pope so highly revered
by Christians when the Bible warns everyone to never entrust their salvation to any sinful man? Three simple reasons: 1. They don’t want to take responsibility for their own lives 2. When they fail, they have someone else to blame 3. Says the LORD, "They have rejected Me that I should not reign
over them." I Sam.8:7 15. Whose word
will ultimately be vindicated, GOD'S or man's? Jeremiah 44:28 Yet a small number that escape the sword shall return out of the land of Egypt into the land
of Judah, and all the remnant of Judah, that are gone into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, _______ _______ ________ ________
_______ _________, _______, ____ _________. Romans 3:3,4 For what if some did not believe? shall their unbelief make the faith of GOD without effect?
GOD forbid: yea, ____ _____ ____ ______, _____ ________ _____ ___ ______; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified
in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged. Once Satan secured the church's rejection of the simple
teachings of the Holy Bible, he was free to bring in all manner of deceptive magic, creating a religious-coalition among the
churches to join his mutiny against the Ten Commandments of Jesus Christ. This is the system that existed in the days of our
father, Noah. These were men who claimed obedience to "love thy neighbor as thyself" just as the Jews of Christ’s
day and our leaders do today. They also claimed obedience to the Ten Commandments of GOD, just as the Jews of Christ’s
day and our leaders do today. And yet the Bible teaches that very few under their watch-care would receive the eternal inheritance
promised of GOD. And so it is today. To trust your eternal life into the hands of another, when historically, betrayal to
that holy trust has been thematic generation after generation, places your salvation in jeopardy along with those you care
for and love.
In the days of our father Noah, before the earth was destroyed by water, the government leaders, priests, and the common man
were all sincere in what they believed. The message of our father Noah was as clear then as it is today: Repent from all transgressions
of GOD’S Holy Law. For one hundred and twenty years they heard this message from Noah and others who were, in mercy,
laid to rest before the great flood (Isa.57:1,2). Even Enoch, "the seventh from Adam," a man who "walked with
GOD" was publicly witnessed to be taken up to heaven [as was the prophet Elijah in later centuries (Gen.5:24; II Ki.2:1-15)].
This was a testimony heralded throughout the Antediluvian civilization appealing to all men to turn from sin; for the reward
of eternal life given to Enoch was promised to be given to all men if they would truly serve one another by obeying GOD’S
Holy Law.
The lesson of history is this: Friends who disobey GOD’S Law are not your friends. Governments that disobey GOD’S
Law are unfit to govern anyone. And religious men who likewise disobey do not serve GOD regardless of the mingling of good
works with sin. 16. Are there
miracles of satanic spiritualism incorporated into churches professing faith in Christ? I Corinthians 14:27,28 If any man speak in an unknown tongue, let
it be by two, or at the most three, and that by course; and ____ _____ __________. But ____ _________ ____ ____ _______________
let him _______ __________ in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to GOD. Every major religion of earth
advocates the gift of tongues. There is no traceable difference between the tongue speaking members in Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism,
or Voodoo to that of today’s evangelical Christians. The spirit and character is identical. How do we know this? There
are many testimonies from Christians who GOD delivered from these deceiving religions who recognized the identical spirit
between today’s Christianity and these other religions. Other testimonies include people who witnessed tongue speaking
Christians curse the name of Jesus Christ in Chinese and other languages. An American Indian gave testimony of how a tongue-speaking
Christian was cursing that Indian’s mother in his native tongue—without even knowing it! And still, other testimonies
include descriptions of feelings similar to a drunken state. Even extreme sensual experiences such as "sexual orgasms"
have been experienced and reported. There is no Scriptural testimony from the apostles of Christ nor from the prophets of
the Old Testament that mention these fleshly manifestations. In summation, the church only desires the free exercise of lust
and power, not the lowly, self-denying character of Jesus Christ. "And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion,
that they should believe a lie" [allowing and not withholding Satan’s power to work his deceptive magic] that they
all might be damned."
This near-universal-doctrine is in partnership with two other, equally offensive-to-Scripture doctrines: "Slain in the
Spirit" and "The Gift of Knowledge." The purpose of miracles of satanic origin that keep Christians illiterate
to Scripture’s guidelines is simply this: keep the sinner trapped in his or her sin. America’s most
popular miracle today, "slain in the spirit" has only three reasons given in Scripture for the loss of strength
in the presence of Divinity: 1. Decisive rebellion against Jesus Christ. Examples: the mob
of thugs arresting Christ at the garden of Gethsemane; and the Roman guard at the tomb of Christ (Jn. 18:4-6; Matt. 28:2-4).
2. Direct vision from GOD, teaching foreknowledge
to prepare His children for future events, or commanding an appeal be made to His vulnerable children who have gone astray,
and warns of the consequences should they remain on this chosen path. Examples: Hab. 2:2; Dan. 10:8,17-19. Another example
is found in the life of Saul (before his new name, Paul), while on his mission of persecution against Christians (Acts 9:4,5).
3. Demon possession. Examples: Lu. 8:28;
Mk. 3:11.
This popular doctrine exhibiting supernatural demonstrations in the church must come under one of the above reasons for the
loss of strength in the presence of Divinity. Which is it? Again, every major religion of earth advocates the gift of "slain
in the spirit" with no traceable difference between the world’s religions to that of Presentday-Christianity. The
"Word of Knowledge" doctrine has no Scriptural reference at all. It is used as a healing ministry, where the minister
describes an ailment of some afflicted soul watching TV (or sitting in the congregation), promising their healing, without
knowing them, without seeing them, and without verification of what their saying is actually true. What is wise to understand
is that the Bible gives the clear revelation that Satan can heal disease when it serves his purpose to mislead people, strengthening
his hold over their lives. So, regardless of any supernatural demonstration, this is no evidence that GOD is the source of
the miracle. In summation, anyone or anything that is Biblically antagonistic is Antichrist. The declaration of Charismatic
Christians is clear: "If GOD won't heal and Satan will, I'll follow Satan." Those very words have been spoken
from the lips of professedly devout Christians. As discussed earlier, Satan has the power and jurisdiction to create
and heal disease as it suits his purpose. 17. Can Satan present himself as anyone he chooses, perfectly impersonating the individual right down to the appearance
and tone of voice? I Samuel 28:7,
13-15 Then said Saul unto his servants, Seek me a woman that hath a familiar spirit, that I may go to her, and enquire of
her. And his servants said to him, Behold, there is a woman that hath a familiar spirit at Endor....And the king said unto
her, Be not afraid: for what sawest thou? And the woman said unto Saul, I saw gods ascending out of the earth. And he said
unto her, What form is he of? and she said, And old man cometh up; and he is covered with a mantle. And Saul perceived that
it was Samuel, and he stooped with his face to the ground, and bowed himself. (v.15) _____ ___________ _______ ____ _________,
______ ________ _______ _____________ _____, _____ _________ _____ _____? And Saul answered, I am sore distressed; for the
Philistines make war against me, and GOD is departed from me, and answereth me no more, neither by prophets, nor by dreams:
therefore I have called thee, that thou mayest make known unto me what I shall do. 18. How do we know this really wasn't the prophet Samuel, sent
of GOD to prophesy of Saul's ill-fate of death in battle? Deuteronomy 18:9-13 When thou art come into the land which the LORD thy GOD giveth thee, thou
shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations. There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his
son or his daughter to pass through the fire [sacrificing human life to placate an 'angry god'], or that useth divination
[a psychic or fortune teller], or an observer of times [an astrologer], or an enchanter [a hypnotist], or a witch [a woman
with powers given by evil spirits], (v.11) or a charmer [a user of superstitions to motivate ones actions for self-serving
purposes], or ____ _______________ _______ ___________ _________ [gaining instruction from evil spirits], or a wizard [a man
with powers given by evil spirits], or ___ _________________ [gaining prophetic insight from the dead]. [v.12] For that do
things _____ ____ _________________ unto the LORD: and because of these abominations the LORD thy GOD doth drive them out
from before thee. [v.13] Thou shalt be __________ with the LORD thy GOD. Saul knew well that passage of Deuteronomy.
In essence, he (who refused to renounce his sin) turned to Satan for salvation. This is a lesson of warning for every Christian:
Satan deceives the Christian Church to turn to him for salvation through advocating that a life of sin is acceptable to GOD.
But it was sin that got Satan cast out of heaven. It was sin that nailed the Son of GOD to a tree. So all who refuse to separate
from sin will be held as accomplices to the murder of GOD Himself. Said Christ, "No servant can serve two masters: for
either he will hate the one, and love the. other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve
GOD and mammon." Lu.16:13. The ruling churches in choosing to remain in the bondage of sin have effectively turned to
Satan for salvation. But his kingdom has no merit. Jesus summed up His call to every man, "If thou wilt enter life keep
the commandments." Matt. 19:17. The Apostle John warned of the Vatican’s disregard of the Savior’s Words:
"He that saith, I know Him, and keepeth not His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him." I Jn. 2:4.
The Scriptures even tell of Satan’s personal appearance as a holy angel when he approached Jesus in the wilderness pretending
to be one of the "good guys" while tempting the Savior to sin (Matt.4:1-11). The LORD Jesus even warned His disciples
of Satan’s coming, pretending to be Christ Himself "Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or
there; believe it not. For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders; insomuch
that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. Behold, I have told you before. 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." Matt.24:23-27.
This prophecy of Satan’s impersonation is yet to be fulfilled; and when it occurs the whole Christian world will bow
in adoration before him regardless of the Bible’s teaching of the manner of Christ’s return. And the counsel the
Chief Apostate gives will seduce the whole world into unanimous hatred of Christ’s obedient church: "they that
keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus." This will strengthen the momentum of the final religious tyranny
hiding behind the Good Name of Jesus Christ. As a result, the world will swiftly come to an end. 19. What is the result of the church's disregard for
the reproof of GOD? Proverbs 1:24-30
Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded; But ye have set at nought all my
counsel, and would none of my reproof. I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh; When your fear
cometh ___ _____________, and your _____________ cometh as a whirlwind; when ____________ and __________ cometh upon you.
Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me: For that they _________
______________, and did not choose the fear of the LORD: They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof. Amos 8:11,12 Behold, the days come, saith
the LORD God, that I will send ___ ____________ in the land, _____ a famine of bread, _____ a thirst for water, ____ of hearing
the words of the LORD: And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall ______ ____
_____ ______ ____ ________ ______ ________ _____ _____ _________, and shall not find it. 20. What action does the church take in pursuing a course of disobedience
and ultimately one of self-destruction? John 16:2 They shall put you out of the _______________ [or churches]: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth
you will think that ____ _______ _____ ___________. Revelation 13:11-18 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb,
and he spake as a dragon. And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which
dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed [remember the "sword" of General Berthier
removing the pope’s civil authority?]. And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the
earth in the sight of men, And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth, by the means of those miracles which he had power to
do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had
a wound by a sword, and did live. (v.15) And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the
beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast _________ ____ _________. (v.16)
And he causeth ____, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their
foreheads: And that no man save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. 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.
Every great scholar of the Reformation, from Wycliffe, Luther, Tyndale, Baxter, Huss, Latimer, Calvin, Zwingli, Tausen, Petri,
Wesley, and Knox, all pointed to the Roman Catholic Church as the "beast" of Revelation 13:1-10. And the pope was
always considered the Biblical Antichrist: "Forbidding to marry" (as the papal priesthood is forbidden to marry),
"commanding to abstain from meats" (as the Friday abstinence); setting out to mercilessly and relentlessly "make
war with the saints," where "they shall fall by the sword [through her puppetry of militant dictators (Clovis, Charlemagne,
William the Conqueror, King Henry II, etc.) under the direction of the pope "to eradicate vice from the field of the
Lord"—Pope Adrian IV)]; and by flame [such as the great Bible scholars, John Huss and John Tyndale, who were burned
at the stake along with countless others], by captivity [such as the Spanish Inquisition, where "The purest, the most
refined, and the most intelligent were chained, in horrible torture, amidst robbers and assassins" (Reference, Wylie,
b.22, ch.6)], and by spoil ["divide the land for gain" (Dan. 11:39)], many days" ["forty and two months"
equaling 1,260 years (Nu.14:34; Rev. 13:5)]. The Biblical Antichrist whose "number is the number of a man…Six
hundred threescore and six" (or 666) only fits one man throughout Christian history. "Vicarious filii Dei"
(or Deputy to the Son of GOD) will always be the pope's official title. When added up in the three Biblical languages
of Hebrew, Greek, and Latin, in each of those languages the pope’s title adds up to 666. Tie that in with Rome as the
last of earth's kingdoms, along with the church's grotesque history of tyranny, and no mistake can be made. GOD forewarned
His children of the great betrayal against Christ and men by the Roman papacy.
1. Are the prophecies of Revelation yet
to come, as the church teaches, or did they begin in the first days of the newly established Christian church? Revelation 1:3 __________ is he that readeth, and they that hear
the words of this prophecy, and _______ those things which are written therein: for ______ ________ ____ ____ _______. The prophetic time-line of
the book of Revelation began in the days of the Apostle John. In other words, the history of Christ's Church is revealed
from its commencement to its destination in the Earth made new. Also, the history of the unfaithfulness of the Roman priesthood
is included in this book of the Savior’s prophecy. This is verified by the prophet Daniel when he recorded GOD’S
timeline of earth’s kingdoms from his day to the close of time (Daniel, chapters 2 & 7). And the fourth and last
ruling kingdom is Rome. The Savior of men, Jesus Christ came to declare His salvation to all men in the infancy of Roman rule,
and throughout the modern era Rome has influenced every nation under the sun, holding to this day the place of preeminence
in both religion and tradition. The
churches today assure the congregations that the prophecies of Revelation do not include the atrocities of murder and persecution
perpetrated by the Roman church during her 1,260 year reign, as prophesied seven times in Scripture (Dan. 7:25, 11:33, 12:7;
Rev. 11:2, 12:6, 12:14, 13:5) where an estimated fifty million people perished by the command of the Roman priesthood to Europe’s
civil leaders. The heinous atrocity of the Spanish Inquisition, under the sanction and blessing of the pope is declared by
our church leaders as exempt of any prophetic inclusion in Scripture. Even the cold blooded murder of 70,000 Protestant Christians
in the St. Bartholomew Massacre in France, where Pope Gregory XIII, cardinals, and ecclesiastical dignitaries held celebrations
and a parade, with church bells ringing in victory from every steeple (Reference, Henry White, The Massacre of St. Bartholomew,
ch.14, par.34): and all history of religious abuse masquerading as Christian is assured by today’s ministers of exclusion
from the Word of GOD. Today’s
theologians have even removed the very legitimacy of the Protestant Reformation and have disqualified the founding work of
the great reformers, Wycliffe, Huss, Luther, Tyndale, Wesley and Knox who are now declared as deceivers in this knowledge
proclaiming the pope of Rome as the Great Antichrist of Scripture with his self-appointed title adding up to 666 in the three
Biblical languages of Hebrew, Greek and Latin.
As Cain and Abel represent the two branches of humanity: one unrighteous and the other righteous, so the book of Revelation
denotes the history of two women, one faithful, and the other unfaithful, while both claim fidelity to Jesus Christ in wedlock.
These women of prophecy represent the two branches of Christianity of the modern era whose origins extend back to the two
opposing schools of theology of the third century: the school of Antioch, which upheld the grammatical, historical interpretation
of the Scriptures, having no sympathy with mystical modes of thought; and, the other: the school of Alexandria, which mingled
sinful traditions of pagan idolatry with the purity of the Christian faith, therby corrupting the call of GOD for every man
to repent of all known sin. Of
the adulterous church the Bible says, "And the woman [the Corrupt-Church] was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and
decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her
fornication: And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS
OF THE EARTH. And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus."
Revelation 17:4-6. This prophecy refers to the age of religious tyranny exercised by the Holy Roman Empire against all who
opposed papal supremacy. History is littered with the record of atrocities against Christ’s faithful church. Most of
this history has been surgically removed, books destroyed, ancient records burned, histories secretly removed from libraries.
Today’s Christian church has deleted over 15 centuries of church history from Bible prophecy. The covert activity and
sabotage against the gospel by the false prophets and Biblically illiterate priests will only come to light in the great judgment.
If the Cold War between Communism and Capitalism produced extensive espionage and diversionary tactics to secure the upper
hand, how much more would they be utilized to the destruction of souls. Even though it is Satan, "which deceiveth the
whole world," the means of his success of securing the downfall of the majority of men, both in and out of the church,
is through disobedient men professing a lawless Gospel message. 2.
Does Scripture verify the Holy Roman Empire in prophecy? Daniel
2:31-34 Thou, 0 king, sawest, and behold a great image. This great image, whose brightness was excellent, stood before thee;
and the form thereof was terrible. This image's head was of fine gold, his breast and his arms of silver, his belly and
his thighs of brass, [v.33] His legs of iron, his feet _______ ____ _______ and _______ ____ _______. Thou sawest till that
a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay, and brake them to pieces.
Daniel 2:37-45 Thou, 0 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 [Babylon]. And after thee shall arise another kingdom inferior to thee [Mede and Persian Empire], and another
third kingdom of brass [Greece, under Alexander the Great], which shall bear rule over all the earth. And the fourth kingdom
[Rome] 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, for 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 [Rome] 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. (v.45) 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 _______ _______ _______ ____ ______ ___________: and the dream is certain,
and the interpretation thereof sure. Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, was shown
the history of the kingdoms of earth to the close of time. The student of history will see that GOD'S Word was true; for
four ruling kingdoms can be traced through the history of western civilization (those associated with the family of Abraham).
Reviewing, once more, the kingdoms of Bible prophecy: Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece, & Rome (pagan and papal eras). Because
"iron" represents Rome (first phase of Roman dominion), the last kingdom of earth, "part of iron, and part
of clay," is the offspring of Pagan Rome, which is Papal Rome, The Holy Roman Empire (Second phase of Roman dominion).
Papal Rome is discussed in these other passages of New Testament prophecy: II Th.2:3-10; I Tim.4:1-3; Dan.11:31-39; 7:25;
8:25; Rev.12:6; 13:1-10; 17. Therefore, the focus of the book of Revelation deals specifically with the fourth and final kingdom
of earth’s present history: Rome.
The 1260 prophetic day/literal year prophecy specified in Dan. 7:25, 11:33, 12:7; Rev. 11:2, 12:6, 12:14, 13:5 was fulfilled:
from the years 538 to 1798: from the year Justinian's decree went into effect, granting the bishop of Rome (the pope)
rulership over all Christians, with a power over civil authority to persecute all heretics; to the year when France's
General Berthier took the pope captive (in 1798), holding him prisoner until his death. The French government enacted into
law a decree declaring the pope to no longer have any authority that the Scripture might be fulfilled: "And I saw one
of his heads as it were wounded to death: and his deadly wound was healed [when Musolini enacted into law the restored authority
of the pope in 1929]: and all the world wondered after the beast" (Rev. 13:3): "The pope is the best hope we Baptists
have."—Jerry Falwell. We
are now living in the closing moments of the last great kingdom of Bible prophecy. Parallel passages of this prophecy declare
that Christ will come and crush the Biblically mutinous system of Catholicism along with her apostate daughter, Apostate Protestantism;
for she will neither repent nor let go of her controlling authority over the people of earth. In summation, The Roman Catholic
Church is earth's ruling religion whose sole purpose is to baptize men into sin! None can claim a greater influence; none
can claim a superior financial status; and none have been associated with greater demonstrations of the miraculous not to
mention the long history of religious bigotry. 3.
How do we know the fate of destruction awaits the Vatican when Jesus Christ returns in the clouds of glory? Daniel 2:35 Then was ____ ______, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold,
broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshingfloors; and the wind carried them away, that ___
_______ ____ _________ ____ ______: and the stone [Christ] that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole
earth. 4. Are miracles the standard by which
to trust the leading hand of GOD as so many declare to be so? II
Corinthians 11:13-15 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.
And no marvel; for ________ himself is _______________ into ____ _________ ____ __________. Therefore it is no great thing
if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works. II Thessalonians 2:9 Even him [the great dictator of the Christian
church], whose coming is after the working of Satan with ____ ____________ and ________ and __________ ______________. Deuteronomy 13:1-4 If there arise among you a prophet, or a dreamer
of dreams, and giveth thee ____ __________or ____ ___________, And the sign or the wonder come to pass, whereof he spake unto
thee, saying, Let us go after _________ ______, which thou hast not known, and let us _________ _______; Thou shalt not hearken
unto the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams: for the LORD your GOD proveth you, to know whether ye love the
LORD your GOD with all your heart and with all your soul. Ye shall walk after the LORD your GOD, and fear Him, and keep His
commandments, and obey His voice, and ye shall serve Him, and cleave unto Him. 5. How dangerous to one’s salvation can demonstrations of miracles be? John 5:2-4 Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep market a pool, which is called
in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porches. In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt, withered,
waiting for the moving of the water. (v.4) For an ________ _______ _______ at a certain season into the pool, and troubled
the water: whosoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of ______________ __________ ____
_____. This
"healing ministry" was in competition with Christ’s healing ministry, leading people away from the Savior
through a pretense of benefit to their lives. Each time the "angel" (not a holy angel but an unholy, fallen, despicable,
cowardly, and insatiably cruel demon) "troubled the water" a frenzy would take place. Those who were stronger than
others would trample under foot the weaker to be the first in the water. The devil would then reward the winner of the cruel,
selfish competition with the temporary healing of "whatsoever disease he had." But virtually all the others, of
men, women, and children perished on the banks of the pool while waiting for a deliverance that would never take place. Jesus
Christ, on the other hand was not partial in His love nor a respecter of man: He would never bless one to the neglect of another,
"and great multitudes followed him, and he healed them all." Matt.12:15. Galatians 1:8 But though we, or an ________ _______ ___________, preach _____ ________ __________
unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. The Apostle Paul warned of demons capabilities to impersonate himself
or the other Apostles as well as present themselves as glorious beings with amazing powers and knowledge: all designed to
harden men in sin and thus secure their eternal ruin. 6.
What determines the church's obedience or disobedience to the gospel of Christ? Isaiah 8:20 To ____ _____ and to ____ ________________: if they _________ _____ according to
this word, it is because ________ ____ ____ __________ in them.
"The law" is the Ten Commandments. "The testimony" is the Holy Bible. If the Christian will not honor
both, the Spirit will not raise him to eternal life. John
14:15 If ye love Me, _________ _____ _____________________. 7.
Has the Christian Church honored His commandments? I
Peter 4:18 And if the righteous __________ ____ ________ where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear? The Apostle Peter is referring to those whose
names are on the church books. The word "scarcely" is safely defined as not one in twenty. This translates to the
"hard saying" that less than five percent of all professing Christians will escape the condemnation of sin, and
will find themselves standing side by side with those whose sins, although maybe more severe, are no less disqualifying of
the presence of the Holy Spirit (whose power alone resurrects the believer in Christ to everlasting life). Paul made this
perfectly clear, "And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.
But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also
quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you. Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live
after the flesh. For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body,
ye shall live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God." Rom.8:10-14. The heart of this issue is of course the theme
of GOD’S call to every man, "Repent." Repent from what? "Sin." What is sin? "Whosoever committeth
sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law." I Jn.3:4. The Apostle Peter specifically warned
of the Vatican’s apostasy: "For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after
they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them." II Pet.2:21. These very words of Peter, (by
whom the pope claims to have received the scepter of his authority), condemn the very existence of the Roman Catholic Church.
But their love affair with pagan rituals and sins overrules reform: their complacency has surrendered the will to accept a
life of sin. They demand to be saved in sin instead of from sin. This works against the first fruit of believing the gospel,
which is repentance. If a man who abuses his wife apologizes, then moments later abuses her again, of what value was his apology?
This illustrates what is so common among church leaders and members: a shallow repentance, where a general lack of remorse
prevents the needed reform to understand the detestable nature of sin and separate from its moldering influence. Without meeting
the Bible’s conditions of salvation this opens the floodgates for fraudulent doctrine to bear sway over the church.
And this is where we find ourselves today, inundated with religious falsehood. Matthew 7:21-23 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of
heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not
prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? [v.23] And then will
I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that _______ __________. "Iniquity" is selfishness. And the exercise of
selfishness is the expression of sin. Christ can have no companionship with those who live in sin while leading others to
follow their path. Herein lies the great danger for multitudes of Christians who refuse to harness truth on their own and
develop their personal discipline of obedience to the lessons GOD desires their success to achieve. And where failure occurs
GOD leads them to walk over the same ground again until victory is assured. We rest in His power in and through us to bring
us the victory. Luke 22:24-26 And there was also a strife
among them [the disciples], which of them should be accounted the greatest. And He [Jesus] said unto them, The kings of the
Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and they that exercise authority upon them are called benefactors. ______ ____ _________
______ ____ ____: but he that is greatest among you, let him be as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that doth serve.
This is Christ's
explicit command: no disciple of His is to lord authority over their fellow man. Our forefathers honored this principle of
separation of church and state, giving it preeminence in the First Amendment of the United States Constitution, which reads:
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion nor prohibiting the free exercise thereof."
In writing the first amendment our forefathers understood the ethical logic of Jesus Christ when He spoke those magnificent
words to His disciples on the night of The Last Supper. All who claim to follow Jesus Christ are to regard religious tyranny
as a sin. Fact: every freedom held as sacred by us as Americans has its origin in the gospel of Jesus Christ: everything from
freedom of speech to freedom of worship. And these freedoms can only be insured through man’s freewill choice to honor
the Ten Commandments. Not eight [Catholicism]. Not nine [Protestantism]. But Ten [Adventism]. The relationship of GOD’S
Ten Commandment Law to the United States Constitution is simple: On the one table of stone GOD Himself engraved the first
four Commandments: these address your personal relationship with GOD, and no one has the right to impose on you how your relationship
is carried out. This allows the wide variety of religions to carry out their chosen convictions. But on the second table of
stone are engraved the last six Commandments. In these lie the perfect rule of government to order our daily lives. Our forefathers
understood that honoring the last six would guaranty the mutual safety of every American citizen. The obvious lesson of history
reveals that these are the ones that when violated have caused every tragedy to befall the human race throughout time. And
the study of religious history reveals that whenever the first four Commandments are violated this always leads to the violation
of the last six. This has ever been the danger of uniting church with state. In the eyes of Christ this is an unholy union,
for the union of church and state led to His own torture and crucifixion. Historically, Roman Catholicism and Protestantism
have disobeyed our LORD'S simple command guarantying freewill in GOD’S worship. But Paul uplifted the perfection
of freewill offerings when he said, "Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly,
or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver." II Cor.9:7.
Despite the wonderful freedom GOD has given to every man, as well as the liberty of conscience which the fathers of this nation
gave to every American in the U.S. Constitution, our freedom has been and will always be considered heresy to power-hungry
Christians: "The absurd and erroneous
doctrines or ravings in defense of liberty of conscience are a most pestilential error—a pest, of all others, most to
be dreaded in a state. "—Pope Pius IX, Encyclical Letter, August 15, 1854. The very existence of our nation's freedoms are still
to this day condemned and declared heresy by the teachings of the Roman church. Pope John Paul II, in his Encyclical Letter,
Deus Dominos, has called for the exaltation of the Christian Sunday to be enforced by law, in direct violation to the first
amendment of the Constitution. The very last issue to face the world before its final and utter destruction is over a globally
accepted law commanding the worship of GOD. Imposing Sunday sacredness is the means whereby this is achieved. In order for
Satan's Grand Finale to succeed, the sin must be considered of no great threat to the lives of people. And yet, the fact
remains that our religious leaders view the world’s oldest tradition of pagan idolatry (Sunday sacredness) as vital
to human survival. This is evident in the legislated laws contained in the Emergency Powers Act, which imposes a national
Sunday Law on the American people should our country be threatened with national ruin. The very destruction of this country,
the very thing that today’s church leaders fear the most and claim to work to prevent, Bible prophecy declares that
they will bringing to pass. The Bible is emphatic that today’s Christianity will bring Armageddon, not atheism, Islam,
Buddhism, Hinduism, nor any other religion. This is evidenced by the words of the LORD’S servants David and Paul, "It
is time for thee, LORD, to work: for they have made void thy law." "Be not deceived; GOD is not mocked: for whatsoever
a man soweth, that shall he also reap." Ps.119:126; Gal.6:7. In summation: The church must overthrow the Constitution
of the United States of America to gain an absolute authority that Christ never ordained and commanded should never exist!
8. If the simple commands of Jesus Christ are disregarded,
will that lead to greater disobedience to the Gospel of salvation? Luke
16:10-15 He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and _____ _______ ____ ________ ____ ______
__________ ____ ________ _______ ____ ________. If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will
commit to your trust true riches? And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another man's, who shall give you
that which is your own? No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he
will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve GOD and mammon. And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard
all these things: and they derided Him. And He said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but GOD knoweth
your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed before men is abomination in the sight of GOD." 9. Are Catholicism and Protestantism united in their mutiny against the Ten Commandments
of Jesus Christ? Luke 4:16 And He [Jesus] came to Nazareth,
where He had been brought up: and, ____ _____ __________ _____, He went into the synagogue ____ _____ __________ _____ and
stood up for to read. I John 2:6 He that saith he abideth in
Him ought himself also so to walk, _______ ____ ____ __________.
Christ kept holy the seventh-day Sabbath "according to the commandment," and the church is called to "walk
even as He walked." And yet, the selfish pick and choose theology of most denies Christ's admonition, "Man shall
not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of GOD." Following the age-old traditions
of pagan idolatry guarantees disobedience to the gospel of Christ and all who follow suit will find themselves in the same
position of condemnation before a loving GOD. 10.
Why is the issue over Sabbath keeping so important? Luke
16:17 And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than ______ __________ ____ ______ ______ ____ ________. John 8:58 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you,
Before Abraham was, ___ _____. Jesus
Himself gave to the world the Sacred tables of Stone. The Bible teaches that Christ was the Father’s Instrument in the
Creation of all things. The leading attribute of Jesus Christ is that of Creator. Over 800 verses of Scripture verify this.
And only one of the Commandments honors Him as our Creator, and now Savior: the Fourth Commandment: the law that men in the
church have disgraced for nearly eighteen centuries. To the GOD-Revering Christian, the Seventh-day Sabbath represents a sacred
time of GOD’S joyful rest, knowing that He created all things that guarantee the eternal happiness of the creatures
formed by His hands. GOD has provided everything that will meet the needs of His children forever, including today’s
desperate need for man to understand His salvation and the method whereby this was achieved. This is why Jesus said, "The
Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath: Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the Sabbath." Mk.2:27,28.
Keeping holy the Sabbath day truly represents the Christian’s faith in Jesus Christ: resting in Him to fulfill all that
He has said He will do. "Verily my Sabbaths ye shall keep: for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations;
that ye may know that I am the LORD that doth sanctify you." Ex.31:13. Who sanctifies us? GOD. What is the sign or seal
of our faith in GOD’S promise? The Sabbath. The Bible teaches that the Sabbath is the seal of our faith, and therefore,
"the seal of God." 11. Will the Seventh-day Sabbath be honored
in the new earth? Isaiah 66:22,23 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. (v.23)
And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from _____ ___________ ____ __________, shall ____ flesh
come ____ _________ before me, saith the LORD.
Through all eternity intelligent beings will enter the Holy Rest of GOD, the day of His joy, the day where He could rest in
the knowledge of providing, securing and maintaining the fulfillment of every desire of His children forever. 12. In spite of all the evidence overturning our religious leaders
views that stand condemned before the love and Law of GOD what is the predominant decision of today's Christian, which
will cause their eternal ruin? 1. Samuel 8:4,5 Then _____ ____ ________
____ ________ gathered themselves together and came to Samuel unto Ramah, And said unto him, Behold, thou art old, and thy
sons walk not in thy ways: _____ _______ _____ ____ _________ ____ __________ ____ like all the nations. When the responsibility for your salvation
is placed in the hands of another man you become a party to all decisions made under his jurisdiction. This includes government
leaders as well as our religious leaders. The dangers lay in the sins they commit. In the animal kingdom we see the end result
when the herd follows their leader off a cliff, or lemmings, when they purposely drown themselves in the sea. As an example
among men, review what Adolf Hitler led his country to become during the Nazi regime. In a few short years he led the German
people to be held responsible for the murder of an estimated 50,000,000 men, women and children. 13. What is GOD'S response to anyone who chooses to have men rather than GOD
to lead them? 1. Samuel 8:7 And the LORD said unto Samuel,
___________ unto the voice of the people in all that they say unto thee: for they have not rejected thee, but _______ _______
___________ ____ that I should not reign over them.
Liberty of conscience lies at the heart of GOD'S salvation. One's freedom of choice GOD will never deny. The greatest
gift next to life is the freewill to choose. It is the only means GOD uses to win the hearts of His children: "Every
man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give, not grudgingly, or of necessity: for GOD loveth a cheerful giver."
II Corinthians 9:7. 14. Concerning this issue of people’s
blind trust in others for their personal salvation, what is a repeated admonition GOD calls our attention to? Psalm 146:3 Put not your trust in ___________, _____ ____ _____
______ ____ _____, in whom there is ____ _______.
In spite of this counsel America’s religious leaders declare, "The Pope is the best hope we Baptists have."—Jerry
Falwell. "The pope is the spiritual leader of the world."—Billy Graham. Why is the pope so highly revered
by Christians when the Bible warns everyone to never entrust their salvation to any sinful man? Three simple reasons: 1. They don’t want to take responsibility for their own lives 2. When they fail, they have someone else to blame 3. Says the LORD, "They have rejected Me that I should not reign
over them." I Sam.8:7 15. Whose word
will ultimately be vindicated, GOD'S or man's? Jeremiah 44:28 Yet a small number that escape the sword shall return out of the land of Egypt into the land
of Judah, and all the remnant of Judah, that are gone into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, _______ _______ ________ ________
_______ _________, _______, ____ _________. Romans 3:3,4 For what if some did not believe? shall their unbelief make the faith of GOD without effect?
GOD forbid: yea, ____ _____ ____ ______, _____ ________ _____ ___ ______; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified
in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged. Once Satan secured the church's rejection of the simple
teachings of the Holy Bible, he was free to bring in all manner of deceptive magic, creating a religious-coalition among the
churches to join his mutiny against the Ten Commandments of Jesus Christ. This is the system that existed in the days of our
father, Noah. These were men who claimed obedience to "love thy neighbor as thyself" just as the Jews of Christ’s
day and our leaders do today. They also claimed obedience to the Ten Commandments of GOD, just as the Jews of Christ’s
day and our leaders do today. And yet the Bible teaches that very few under their watch-care would receive the eternal inheritance
promised of GOD. And so it is today. To trust your eternal life into the hands of another, when historically, betrayal to
that holy trust has been thematic generation after generation, places your salvation in jeopardy along with those you care
for and love.
In the days of our father Noah, before the earth was destroyed by water, the government leaders, priests, and the common man
were all sincere in what they believed. The message of our father Noah was as clear then as it is today: Repent from all transgressions
of GOD’S Holy Law. For one hundred and twenty years they heard this message from Noah and others who were, in mercy,
laid to rest before the great flood (Isa.57:1,2). Even Enoch, "the seventh from Adam," a man who "walked with
GOD" was publicly witnessed to be taken up to heaven [as was the prophet Elijah in later centuries (Gen.5:24; II Ki.2:1-15)].
This was a testimony heralded throughout the Antediluvian civilization appealing to all men to turn from sin; for the reward
of eternal life given to Enoch was promised to be given to all men if they would truly serve one another by obeying GOD’S
Holy Law.
The lesson of history is this: Friends who disobey GOD’S Law are not your friends. Governments that disobey GOD’S
Law are unfit to govern anyone. And religious men who likewise disobey do not serve GOD regardless of the mingling of good
works with sin. 16. Are there
miracles of satanic spiritualism incorporated into churches professing faith in Christ? I Corinthians 14:27,28 If any man speak in an unknown tongue, let
it be by two, or at the most three, and that by course; and ____ _____ __________. But ____ _________ ____ ____ _______________
let him _______ __________ in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to GOD. Every major religion of earth
advocates the gift of tongues. There is no traceable difference between the tongue speaking members in Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism,
or Voodoo to that of today’s evangelical Christians. The spirit and character is identical. How do we know this? There
are many testimonies from Christians who GOD delivered from these deceiving religions who recognized the identical spirit
between today’s Christianity and these other religions. Other testimonies include people who witnessed tongue speaking
Christians curse the name of Jesus Christ in Chinese and other languages. An American Indian gave testimony of how a tongue-speaking
Christian was cursing that Indian’s mother in his native tongue—without even knowing it! And still, other testimonies
include descriptions of feelings similar to a drunken state. Even extreme sensual experiences such as "sexual orgasms"
have been experienced and reported. There is no Scriptural testimony from the apostles of Christ nor from the prophets of
the Old Testament that mention these fleshly manifestations. In summation, the church only desires the free exercise of lust
and power, not the lowly, self-denying character of Jesus Christ. "And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion,
that they should believe a lie" [allowing and not withholding Satan’s power to work his deceptive magic] that they
all might be damned."
This near-universal-doctrine is in partnership with two other, equally offensive-to-Scripture doctrines: "Slain in the
Spirit" and "The Gift of Knowledge." The purpose of miracles of satanic origin that keep Christians illiterate
to Scripture’s guidelines is simply this: keep the sinner trapped in his or her sin. America’s most
popular miracle today, "slain in the spirit" has only three reasons given in Scripture for the loss of strength
in the presence of Divinity: 1. Decisive rebellion against Jesus Christ. Examples: the mob
of thugs arresting Christ at the garden of Gethsemane; and the Roman guard at the tomb of Christ (Jn. 18:4-6; Matt. 28:2-4).
2. Direct vision from GOD, teaching foreknowledge
to prepare His children for future events, or commanding an appeal be made to His vulnerable children who have gone astray,
and warns of the consequences should they remain on this chosen path. Examples: Hab. 2:2; Dan. 10:8,17-19. Another example
is found in the life of Saul (before his new name, Paul), while on his mission of persecution against Christians (Acts 9:4,5).
3. Demon possession. Examples: Lu. 8:28;
Mk. 3:11.
This popular doctrine exhibiting supernatural demonstrations in the church must come under one of the above reasons for the
loss of strength in the presence of Divinity. Which is it? Again, every major religion of earth advocates the gift of "slain
in the spirit" with no traceable difference between the world’s religions to that of Presentday-Christianity. The
"Word of Knowledge" doctrine has no Scriptural reference at all. It is used as a healing ministry, where the minister
describes an ailment of some afflicted soul watching TV (or sitting in the congregation), promising their healing, without
knowing them, without seeing them, and without verification of what their saying is actually true. What is wise to understand
is that the Bible gives the clear revelation that Satan can heal disease when it serves his purpose to mislead people, strengthening
his hold over their lives. So, regardless of any supernatural demonstration, this is no evidence that GOD is the source of
the miracle. In summation, anyone or anything that is Biblically antagonistic is Antichrist. The declaration of Charismatic
Christians is clear: "If GOD won't heal and Satan will, I'll follow Satan." Those very words have been spoken
from the lips of professedly devout Christians. As discussed earlier, Satan has the power and jurisdiction to create
and heal disease as it suits his purpose. 17. Can Satan present himself as anyone he chooses, perfectly impersonating the individual right down to the appearance
and tone of voice? I Samuel 28:7,
13-15 Then said Saul unto his servants, Seek me a woman that hath a familiar spirit, that I may go to her, and enquire of
her. And his servants said to him, Behold, there is a woman that hath a familiar spirit at Endor....And the king said unto
her, Be not afraid: for what sawest thou? And the woman said unto Saul, I saw gods ascending out of the earth. And he said
unto her, What form is he of? and she said, And old man cometh up; and he is covered with a mantle. And Saul perceived that
it was Samuel, and he stooped with his face to the ground, and bowed himself. (v.15) _____ ___________ _______ ____ _________,
______ ________ _______ _____________ _____, _____ _________ _____ _____? And Saul answered, I am sore distressed; for the
Philistines make war against me, and GOD is departed from me, and answereth me no more, neither by prophets, nor by dreams:
therefore I have called thee, that thou mayest make known unto me what I shall do. 18. How do we know this really wasn't the prophet Samuel, sent
of GOD to prophesy of Saul's ill-fate of death in battle? Deuteronomy 18:9-13 When thou art come into the land which the LORD thy GOD giveth thee, thou
shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations. There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his
son or his daughter to pass through the fire [sacrificing human life to placate an 'angry god'], or that useth divination
[a psychic or fortune teller], or an observer of times [an astrologer], or an enchanter [a hypnotist], or a witch [a woman
with powers given by evil spirits], (v.11) or a charmer [a user of superstitions to motivate ones actions for self-serving
purposes], or ____ _______________ _______ ___________ _________ [gaining instruction from evil spirits], or a wizard [a man
with powers given by evil spirits], or ___ _________________ [gaining prophetic insight from the dead]. [v.12] For that do
things _____ ____ _________________ unto the LORD: and because of these abominations the LORD thy GOD doth drive them out
from before thee. [v.13] Thou shalt be __________ with the LORD thy GOD. Saul knew well that passage of Deuteronomy.
In essence, he (who refused to renounce his sin) turned to Satan for salvation. This is a lesson of warning for every Christian:
Satan deceives the Christian Church to turn to him for salvation through advocating that a life of sin is acceptable to GOD.
But it was sin that got Satan cast out of heaven. It was sin that nailed the Son of GOD to a tree. So all who refuse to separate
from sin will be held as accomplices to the murder of GOD Himself. Said Christ, "No servant can serve two masters: for
either he will hate the one, and love the. other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve
GOD and mammon." Lu.16:13. The ruling churches in choosing to remain in the bondage of sin have effectively turned to
Satan for salvation. But his kingdom has no merit. Jesus summed up His call to every man, "If thou wilt enter life keep
the commandments." Matt. 19:17. The Apostle John warned of the Vatican’s disregard of the Savior’s Words:
"He that saith, I know Him, and keepeth not His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him." I Jn. 2:4.
The Scriptures even tell of Satan’s personal appearance as a holy angel when he approached Jesus in the wilderness pretending
to be one of the "good guys" while tempting the Savior to sin (Matt.4:1-11). The LORD Jesus even warned His disciples
of Satan’s coming, pretending to be Christ Himself "Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or
there; believe it not. For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders; insomuch
that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. Behold, I have told you before. 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." Matt.24:23-27.
This prophecy of Satan’s impersonation is yet to be fulfilled; and when it occurs the whole Christian world will bow
in adoration before him regardless of the Bible’s teaching of the manner of Christ’s return. And the counsel the
Chief Apostate gives will seduce the whole world into unanimous hatred of Christ’s obedient church: "they that
keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus." This will strengthen the momentum of the final religious tyranny
hiding behind the Good Name of Jesus Christ. As a result, the world will swiftly come to an end. 19. What is the result of the church's disregard for
the reproof of GOD? Proverbs 1:24-30
Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded; But ye have set at nought all my
counsel, and would none of my reproof. I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh; When your fear
cometh ___ _____________, and your _____________ cometh as a whirlwind; when ____________ and __________ cometh upon you.
Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me: For that they _________
______________, and did not choose the fear of the LORD: They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof. Amos 8:11,12 Behold, the days come, saith
the LORD God, that I will send ___ ____________ in the land, _____ a famine of bread, _____ a thirst for water, ____ of hearing
the words of the LORD: And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall ______ ____
_____ ______ ____ ________ ______ ________ _____ _____ _________, and shall not find it. 20. What action does the church take in pursuing a course of disobedience
and ultimately one of self-destruction? John 16:2 They shall put you out of the _______________ [or churches]: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth
you will think that ____ _______ _____ ___________. Revelation 13:11-18 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb,
and he spake as a dragon. And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which
dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed [remember the "sword" of General Berthier
removing the pope’s civil authority?]. And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the
earth in the sight of men, And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth, by the means of those miracles which he had power to
do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had
a wound by a sword, and did live. (v.15) And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the
beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast _________ ____ _________. (v.16)
And he causeth ____, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their
foreheads: And that no man save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. 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.
Every great scholar of the Reformation, from Wycliffe, Luther, Tyndale, Baxter, Huss, Latimer, Calvin, Zwingli, Tausen, Petri,
Wesley, and Knox, all pointed to the Roman Catholic Church as the "beast" of Revelation 13:1-10. And the pope was
always considered the Biblical Antichrist: "Forbidding to marry" (as the papal priesthood is forbidden to marry),
"commanding to abstain from meats" (as the Friday abstinence); setting out to mercilessly and relentlessly "make
war with the saints," where "they shall fall by the sword [through her puppetry of militant dictators (Clovis, Charlemagne,
William the Conqueror, King Henry II, etc.) under the direction of the pope "to eradicate vice from the field of the
Lord"—Pope Adrian IV)]; and by flame [such as the great Bible scholars, John Huss and John Tyndale, who were burned
at the stake along with countless others], by captivity [such as the Spanish Inquisition, where "The purest, the most
refined, and the most intelligent were chained, in horrible torture, amidst robbers and assassins" (Reference, Wylie,
b.22, ch.6)], and by spoil ["divide the land for gain" (Dan. 11:39)], many days" ["forty and two months"
equaling 1,260 years (Nu.14:34; Rev. 13:5)]. The Biblical Antichrist whose "number is the number of a man…Six
hundred threescore and six" (or 666) only fits one man throughout Christian history. "Vicarious filii Dei"
(or Deputy to the Son of GOD) will always be the pope's official title. When added up in the three Biblical languages
of Hebrew, Greek, and Latin, in each of those languages the pope’s title adds up to 666. Tie that in with Rome as the
last of earth's kingdoms, along with the church's grotesque history of tyranny, and no mistake can be made. GOD forewarned
His children of the great betrayal against Christ and men by the Roman papacy.
