Greetings in the Lord Jesus Christ,

         The bible reveals a six thousand year old conspiracy to rule the world that will end in unbridled wickedness, wars, poverty, starvation, and global genocide.  In the midst of these days Satan (incarnated as “the beast”) will cause mankind to receive a “mark” which is both a means whereby the human race is brought into total slavery, and a personal evidence against those who take part in the scheme (Mt 7:20; 15:8).  The “mark of the beast” seals the doom of all who “receive” it (Rev 14:9-11), yet despite the Lord’s forewarning it will be received by everyone not serving Jesus Christ “in spirit and in truth (Rev 13:16; Jn 4:23-24).  Deception on this topic is rampant, indicating that the stage is set for the mark; and while the Lord called for spiritual discernment and understanding in this evil time (Mt 16:1-3), the churches entertain themselves with corrupt bibles and religious fairy tales – all according to plan.  The intent of this letter is that “born again” Christians would examine their beliefs in the pure light of God’s word, consider the Lord’s marvelous warnings, and survive the spiritual minefield designed to destroy them.

         The evil in the world cannot be comprehended without seeing that Satan is in the religious business (Mt 23:29-33), and that the working function of “religion” is to conceal from the human race what the Lord would make known (Mt 10:27).  The devil’s murderous agenda is woven into a crafty assortment of tradition and dogma by reprobate religious “wolves” who care nothing about sound “doctrine” (1st Tim 4:16) – so that even in the most “fundamentalist” of the government run churches the denominational sludge is dispensed by a “hireling” clergy preaching another Jesus” and another gospel” (2nd Cor 11:4):

. . . there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies. . . .  And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of [2nd Ptr 2:1-2].

In the late 1800’s, the Luciferian puppet Andrew Carnegie began to systematically bribe American churches to trade away their autonomy as “the body of Christ” (1st Cor 12:27) in exchange for the leaven of state incorporation.  This entanglement spread like cancer and served as the trendy structure of America’s raging apostasy as the hybrid state churches quickly forsook the King James Bible in favor of various “new versions,” all based on the debauchery of the Jesuits and their friends, most notably occultists Westcott and Hort.  In 1954, through the diabolic genius of Lyndon Baines Johnson’s offer of “501c3” tax exempt status in exchange for their freedom of speech, these corporate institutions (now under the advice of lawyers) were further led to seek the vain pottage of “federal standing,” thus continuing in their evolution as religious whore houses (Lk 11:52).  Today, these blind and self-muzzled dens of heresy reject the authority of scripture entirely; denying even their own “preferred” versions in deference to Rome (Rev 17:1-2), political-correctness (Rom 3:4), and “science falsely so called” (1st Tim 6:20).

Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves [Mt 23:15].

         To understand the conspiracy examined here, God’s word must be accepted as authority in how the world in fact operates, contrary to cherished “optimistic” assumptions.  Mankind is involved in a spiritual war, and the devil, the god of this world (2nd Cor 4:4), duly heads the nations and presides by default over the entire realm of natural man.  This is the legacy of Adam.

And the devil . . . shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world. . . .  And . . . said unto him, All this power will I give thee . . . for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it [Lk 4:5-6].

The global conspiracy has always been directed by devils (Eph 6:12), but needs ongoing co-operation from man in order to function.  The agenda survives throughout the centuries because Satan’s legions and the human race have goals in common, and because each side wants what the other side is willing to trade.  Those who lust for wealth, power, and worldly honor (Heb 13:5) serve as a vast pool of potential recruits for Satan’s use; and in exchange for their temporary usefulness the devil gives those most ambitious and utterly without conscience their coveted secret advantage in the affairs of men.  The decadence of the human condition is directed by these “elite” figures who orchestrate events beyond public view, slavishly serving “Lucifer” as god, while he in turn establishes their spiritual dominance over the drones in the hierarchy who administrate the more routine elements of the plan.  The conspiracy is staggering in its scale; yet, the plotters have the advantage that they do not play by any rules; and mankind, mostly unaware of the game, is easily managed by primitive deceptions and petty bribery.

         The Luciferian elite exercise their power by setting in place dictators, presidents, congressmen, judges, corporate CEO’s, drug lords, and media generated religious super stars who carry out the daily requirements of the plan in exchange for generous amounts of easy money (1st Tim 6:10).  During occasional historical moments when government must appear “democratic” voters are led to believe they have “choices,” when, in reality, all important candidates are selected from the competing assortment of sycophants and Philistines already on Satan’s payroll, thus making election results essentially irrelevant.  Regardless of any perceived change in politics, the same agenda remains.  The shadow government is never “voted out” and the machinations of its power are effectively concealed by the ordinary man’s unwillingness to believe such evil exists.  Satan’s “devices” succeed because human nature prefers not to see wickedness in anything thought to be “ours” (1st Cor 11:31), as, for example, our political party, our leaders (Isa 3:12), our country (Heb 11:16), our world (1st Jn 5:19), or “our beliefs” (Prov 14:12).

         At certain junctures in history the Lord has intervened to frustrate the conspiracy by bringing down the “seat” of Satan’s power (Gen 11:8; 13:10; Ex 14:28; etc.), although “historians” will not see this.  As the unseen enemy now takes the helm of institutions and offices that steer America’s course – as clearly observed in politics, media, education, and religion – the U.S. becomes yet another asset in the devil’s global arsenal of tyranny, although most professing Christians do not see (or will not admit) this transformation and remain in “patriotic” denial of America’s leading role in rising world fascism – often declaring:  “At least we’re free!,” even as their few remaining liberties evaporate by the day (Jn 8:33).  Contrary to views of nostalgic pride, the U.S. no longer excels in anything noteworthy except corruption, drugs, disease, and DEBT; and is presently ripe for destruction from every conceivable quarter (Prov 1:27-31).

         Satan’s obsession for total enslavement of the world (the “new world order”) is greatly assisted by apostate churches that infuse the gospel of Christ with notions of national patriotism – typically couched in terms of “serving God and Country” (Mt 6:24) – thereby compromising those who might otherwise see the increasing evil in the halls of power (Jn 19:15).  As a condition for having their “place” (Jn 11:48) at Caesar’s federal hog trough, U.S. incorporated churches became subject to the IRS which now regulates their existence; and under its policy they must refrain from criticism of government at the risk of having their doors padlocked.  This insidious relationship shields government corruption from scrutiny while converting church “watchmen” into partisan political hacks who view any church discussion of “great tribulation” as a threat to their cash flow (Mt 15:14).  As a result mainstream religion has become a pagan social club for carnal flag wavers who reject the idea of suffering in tribulation as a strange thing on God’s part (1st Thes 3:4), and are utterly blind to the coming persecution (Mt 24:9).

Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you” [1st Ptr 4:12-13].

Preparing for genocide of the saints, lesbian Janet Reno, as attorney general in the Clinton regime, expanded the definition and profiling policy for a “terrorist” to include anyone who “home schools” his children or “takes an apocalyptic interpretation of the bible” – in plainer words, true bible-believing Christians.

         Though it was once believed:  “Train up a child in the way he should go” (Prov 22:6), in “the fear of the LORD (14:26-27); Christian parents now turn over their children to the high priests of federal education who preach sexual perversion and abortion as state religion (Rom 1:27-28) while hawking the lunacy of Darwinism as science.  Although the Lord said:  “If ye love me, keep my commandments (Jn 14:15); false pastors declared them “done away with” (Mt 5:19; Rev 12:17); ignoring that the Lord twice wrote them in stone with his own finger (Ex 31:18; Deut 10:1-4) and promised to write them again in men’s hearts under the “new covenant” (Heb 8:7-10) – all discarded with a wave of the hand.  Where the Lord said:  “If a man love me, he will keep my words (Jn 14:23), legions of quacks with seminary degrees ignorantly opined to their lost congregations that, “You don’t need the ‘thee’s’ and ‘thou’s,’” thus openly undermining the historical love and appreciation of the King James text by a continual slandering of its doctrinally essential pronoun usage.  These same religious hirelings now dismiss “great tribulation” with banal slop such as:  “A loving God wouldn’t let anything bad happen to his people!” (Isa 30:10); not only completely ignoring scripture, but four thousand years of history (Psm 44:22) – as it is written:  “we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God” (Acts 14:22; Jn 15:20; Rom 8:35-36).

Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer . . . ye shall have tribulation ten days:  be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.  He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death [Rev 2:10-11].

While many false churches circumvent the issue of tribulation by relegating it to the past, “fundamentalists” deceive themselves with delusions of “pre-trib rapture”; ignorantly asserting that, “Tribulation doesn’t matter because we won’t even be here!”  This popular deception is frequently accompanied by the self-contradicting argument that, “God is a forgiving god!,” to imply that the “jealous God” of scripture will just wink at receiving Satan’s mark in case the “rapture” doesn’t pan out as expected.

For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; and they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables [2nd Tim 4:3-4].

         The carnal presumption of “rapture before tribulation” is immediately seen as false by the fact that both the living and the dead in Christ are raised up together (1st Cor 15:51-52) – at the last trump (v. 52), at the last day (Jn 6:39-54).  Although scripture repeatedly warns of “the mark of the beast” and “great tribulation,” those who cling to “pre-trib” deceptions simply ignore all such scripture under the belief that it’s “written to somebody else” – all based on the ridiculous assumption that “We’re SPECIAL!” (2nd Tim 3:12).  The present generation of “dispensational” (me first) religious hypocrites explains away Christians in tribulation (Rev 12:17; 14:12) by deftly defining them as “tribulation saints who didn’t believe in the rapture” and therefore “have to get raptured later!”

         For eighteen hundred years, Christians knew of only one “resurrection of life” (Jn 5:28-29) that would take place on “the day of the Lord,” at his coming in the clouds with great power and glory (Mk 13:26); a day that would not come until after that tribulation” (vs. 24-27) when the Lord would gather together his elect (v. 27) in full view of the world (Rev 1:7; Acts 1:9-11; Isa 40:5).  The “gathering” of the saints on the day of Christ,” by twenty different descriptions (Zeph 1:8,18; Rom 2:5; 2nd Ptr 3:12; Zeph 1:14; Rev 16:14; Acts 2:20; etc.), expressly FOLLOWS world-wide apostasy and the appearance of Satan as “the beast” (2nd Thes 2:3; Dan 8:23-25; Rev 13:4).

         The rabidly defended “secret rapture” hoax is steeped in fraud and is Satan’s premier effort to cause a massive, world-wide “falling away” in the last days (2nd Thes 2:3).  Where Paul pleaded Let no man deceive you by any means in this matter, Satan’s ministers REVERSE the order of events (in 2nd Thes 2:1-3) by the absurd claim that falling away (translated from “apostasia”) “refers to the ‘rapture’ of the church as it falls away from the planet!”; rather than a great “APOSTASY” of the churches in departing from the living God (Heb 3:12; Jn 14:6).  Paul states that prior to our gathering together unto the Lord (2nd Thes 2:1), there is first both a falling away AND a revealing of antichrist (v. 3).  At this point the “rapture” argument results only in nonsense – and ignores that the words, “fall away,” always refer to departing from the Lord! (Heb 6:4-6; Lk 8:13).  Satan’s workers twist the words, “God hath not appointed us to wrath (in 1st Thes 5:9), by stripping them from context with the claim that wrath really meanstribulation”; thus confusing the day of God’s wrath (Zeph 1:18; Rom 1:18) with the time of great tribulation (Mt 24:21) that in fact results from the unrestrained great wrath of Satan (Rev 12:12).  Where scripture bluntly contradicts the popular false belief that “We’ll be taken out before anything bad happens!” by stating twice that “the beast” will have power “to make war with the saints, and to overcome them (Rev 13:7; Dan 7:21); “pre-trib Christians” uniformly respond:  “We’re NOT the saints in that verse!” – openly denying their place in Christ in trying to avoid the warnings that were specifically given to prepare their faith for the coming persecution (Lk 18:8; 24:25).

         Especially vulnerable today are millions of fundamentalists who think it impossible to “fall away” from the Lord, yet place their faith in denominational dogmas designed to ensure that they WILL fall away!” (Mt 24:12).  When finding themselves in “great tribulation,” those who believed in “pre-trib rapture” will be forced to conclude what will then seem obvious – that the Lord lied (or failed) in his promise to “rapture us out,” when, in fact, the Lord never made any such promise, and plainly said so:

I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but . . . keep them from the evil [Jn 17:15].

As is typical with false doctrine, the buzz-word, “rapture,” had to be invented in order to overcome the clearly given timing and circumstances of the real resurrection.”  (While admitting that “rapture” is not found in scripture, supporters of the theory nonetheless claim this omission was necessary in order “to keep it a secret!”)  Belief in the “pre-trib” sham, however, not only falsely supposes a “rapture” coming before the first resurrection (Rev 20:6), it also ignores the verse from which the term, “rapture,” was fabricated – a verse which (even standing alone) precludes any idea of a separate, “secret rapture”:

For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God:  and the dead in Christ shall rise firstthen we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them [1st Thes 4:16-17].

We which “are alive and remain” shall be caught up at the same last trump as the dead who are asleep in Christ:

For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep [4:15].

We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump:  for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed [1st Cor 15:52].

. . . at the last day . . . every one . . . at the last day . . . at the last day . . . at the last day [Jn 6:39,40,44,54].

The illusion of a “secret rapture” relies heavily on the pretense that thief in the night implies a silent, sneaky appearance; yet, this great day of the LORD (1st Thes 5:2), which is certainly “unexpected,” can not possibly be described as “unnoticed!”

But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up [2nd Ptr 3:10].

         The entire “pre-trib rapture” concept was concocted in the late eighteenth century by Manuel Lacunza, a Jesuit priest who deceptively wrote under a fraudulent pen-name as a Jewish Rabi – as the Jesuits also fabricated the infamous “Protocols of Zion” to justify their seething hatred of Israel.  (This literary subterfuge was commonly used because Christians at this time would not read material known to be authored by Catholics.)  Lacunza’s work went un-noticed until translated into English, in 1827, by Edward Irving, a notorious British heretic.  Irving, in turn, knew a girl in Scotland named Margaret MacDonald who, in 1830, claimed this idea for herself, ostensibly as the result of a vision.  MacDonald was ignored in Scotland due to her involvement in the occult; yet, in England (in a classic example of strange bedfellows) the public was saturated with “rapture” conjecturing through unprecedented co-operation from British newspaper publishers.  This was strikingly similar to the launching of Billy Graham’s instant popularity in the U.S. by the Hearst-Luce (“Knights of Malta”) syndicated press, which obediently puffed Graham, a covert agent of the Jesuits – setting him up to become Rome’s ecumenical poster boy who would erase 1400 years of dark ages from the collective memory of nominal Protestants.

         As it gradually evolved, “pre-trib” dogma was developed through incredible wresting of scripture; and while contemporary Christians decried the bizarre interpretations and circuitous logic of this effort as heresy, the charmed theories spread like wild fire.  John Nelson Darby (who had previously aided the conspiracy by publishing “dispensational” heresies) later plagiarized the rapture idea as his own discovery and then peddled it in America where Cyrus Ingerson Scofield, a conniving reprobate with Luciferian connections and financing, forced the unwieldy array of “pre-trib” subterfuges directly into the text of scripture as the “Scofield Reference bible,” thus establishing the serpentine arguments still used today in support of “rapture” mythology.

         False churches typically avoid the “mark of the beast” by spiritualizing it with various rationalizations of “private interpretation” – as, for example, Seventh Day Adventists who, by astounding mental gymnastics, teach that “going to church on Sunday” constitutes receiving Satan’s “mark!”  By confounding the “mark” with the pagan keeping of Sunday, Adventists simultaneously strike two great blows against God’s word – encumbering the fourth commandment with an embarrassingly absurd heresy, while at the same time diverting attention away from the real “mark of the beast” (1st Tim 2:12).  By such diabolic methods naive Christians are led to ignore Satan’s end game for the mark as “conspiracy theory” and folklore.

         Two thousand years ago, the Lord gave a precise warning against the global cashless economy now being implemented everywhere, and specifically revealed that mankind will be required to receive a satanically conceived mark in order to buy or sell under this scheme (Rev 13:17).  Notably, the single missing feature of the present electronic funds transfer process is a reliable means to quickly identify the users, although the device intended for this purpose has existed for several years – manufactured under the trade name of “Verichip.”  This glass encapsulated microchip, an “RFID” as used world-wide to identify “merchandise” (2nd Pt 2:3), is designed to be implanted under the skin, but enjoys only a very limited use in humans at present because of extremely negative consumer reaction to it at introduction (due, in part, to a faint awareness of scripture).  Using today’s technology the active form of such an implant obtains electrical power by utilizing changes in skin temperature found to be optimum in the human hand and forehead; and while this issue has been censored in the press, it is now admitted that the chip is ultimately intended to be placed in the “right hand” or “forehead” – exactly as stated in the bible (Rev 13:16).  Verichip agents, of course, deny that their product is the mark of the beast, while quietly promoting it for such dubious purposes as “assisting those with special medical needs” and “providing greater security in government offices,” and so forth – following a total lack of public interest in the chip as a financial convenience – and so its faltering use in man has now begun.

         As to spiritual issues, the forbidden mark (“of the beast”) is glaringly identical to the forbidden fruit (“of the garden”).  Like false pastors today, Satan ambushed Eve by calling God’s word into question (Gen 3:1) and lying to her about the facts of the matter (vs. 4-5) – openly accusing the Lord of preventing her spiritual development while positioning himself as her liberator (2nd Ptr 2:19).  The devil easily seduced the woman who, in turn, seduced the man (Gen 3:6), so that they were both cast out of the garden (vs. 17-19).  Thus, on the very “day” that the first humans disobeyed God they DIED, exactly as the Lord said they would (Gen 2:17); and thereafter all men were born into the world spiritually dead.  The Lord provided for mankind to be “born again” (Jn 3:3) as a “new creature” (2nd Cor 5:17), which life Satan now seeks to destroy by the same deceptions he used in the beginning – while carnal Christians remain altogether as silly and rebellious as Adam – with the stakes infinitely greater:

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 . . . and the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever . . . whosoever receiveth the mark [Rev 14:9-11].

         Verichip claims that its device cannot be “the mark of the beast” because it is “not called” by that name.  In considering this ludicrous assertion, it might be pondered how that sodomy is now universally referred to as “gay”; yet, despite the polite label, the “abomination” of this “sin” remains the same (Lev 18:22; Rom 1:18-32; 1st Cor 6:9).  Verichip argues that its chip cannot be the mark “because it is voluntary”; however, as older Americans recall, both income tax and “auto insurance” also began as optional, but this aspect was quickly swept away after achieving a certain level of coerced “voluntary compliance” – and, today, refuseniks go to jail.  Verichip agents beguiled apostate churches with the argument that the chip can not be the mark because it is “placed ‘in’ the body, not ‘on’ it” – a claim made possible by the many “new bible versions” which corrupted their texts to suit the conspiracy (Lk 6:43; 2nd Cor 2:17).  The truth of Revelation 13:16 is found ONLY in the Godly “received text” of the King James Bible – and those who are deceived in this matter are simply drunk on Catholic propaganda (Rev 17:1-2).

         The issue of biblical authority is critically important in this spiritual war, the history of which is no longer taught in U.S. schools.  While all of Europe was under the darkness of “papal” Rome, England’s faithful king, James I, blessed his nation by authorizing scripture to be printed in the language of the people (the “1611”).  Because the English bible ended the dark ages, it is held in contempt by the “daughter” harlot churches (Ezek 16:44) that naturally incline toward their spiritual MOTHER (Rev 17:5; Gal 4:26).  The “Authorized King James” is the only bible published without financial copyright – being “freely given to us of God” (1st Cor 2:12), and so it is all the more hated by that “mystery,” Babylonian spirit which suffocates in the true light of the gospel (Jn 3:20).  The power of Rome affects every aspect of life in “Protestant” America – as seen, for example, in media and government SUPPORT of illegal immigration across the Mexican border.  Such phenomena are incomprehensible to the American people who are simply unwilling to contemplate the spiritual ramifications.  Politicians in high U.S. office are Roman Catholic to an extremely greater degree than reflected by constituent ratios – a statistical truth that is shockingly observed in the Congress, Supreme Court, CIA, FBI, and IRS; in addition to many other powerful and politically sensitive agencies.

         Washington D.C. is a Luciferian stronghold of treason run by professional liars, sexual perverts, murderers, Georgetown alumni, Jesuits, Knights of Malta, Knights of Columbus, Skull and Bones, Freemasons, communists, fascists, Rhodes scholars, liaisons of the Illuminatti, and various clones of the so-called “Council on Foreign Relations”; and, while diverse in many respects, this city holds a uniform hatred of Jesus Christ and the liberty given those who love him (2nd Cor 3:17).  Of the forces arrayed against America from within, Rome is considerably experienced in the warfare by proxy against God, having for centuries gone “forth conquering, and to conquer” (Rev 6:2) – as in Germany by Hitler, Italy by Mussolini, Spain by Franco, South Viet Nam by Diem, and so on, ad nauseam.  These dictators were all Vatican puppets and, like every U.S. president since Ronald Reagan, surrounded by Jesuit advisors and “papal nuncios.”  (The treason of placing Jesuits in the White House was begun by Reagan under the personal urging of Billy Graham.)  These fascist overthrows were each in turn accompanied by the destabilizing influence of massive Catholic immigration and bloody rioting – all justified in the press with the rant that “a little fascism” was necessary to purge the “excesses” of communism (both forms of tyranny having the same object and author).  Adolf Hitler, an instrument of both Rome and Wall Street, intentionally set fire to the Reichstag as an excuse to exterminate Jews and Christians (just as Nero before him had torched Rome as an excuse to annihilate the Christian population) – exactly as Diem’s Catholic shock troops, trained by the CIA under Bill Donovan, plotted the overthrow of Buddhist Viet Nam to secure Saigon as “cardinal” Spellman’s “papal outpost of the East.”  These Jesuit wars were each financed on the backs of U.S. taxpayers, while the “news” media dutifully kept the religious nature of these struggles hidden from public view.

         With America now divorced from its bible-believing heritage, Satan’s politicians openly court the favor of the esoteric power that rewards their ambitions, jockeying for position in the Luciferian hierarchy like wannabe rock stars.  The increasingly obvious police state conditions in the world clearly foreshadow the coming genocide of the saints (Mt 5:10-12; Jn 15:18-21); and while this future is anxiously anticipated by the elite and their friends, the churches remain substantially blind to it.  The faithfulness of the Lord is shown by his promise that, for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened (Mt 24:21-22) – while carnal Christians defending “pre-trib rapture” heresy insist, “We’re not ‘the elect’ in that verse!” (Lk 19:22).  In the meanwhile, elitist politicians follow a simple dialectic formula as they trot forth ever more tyrannical laws in response to fabricated events of chaos, rallying the public to “patriotically” submit to incremental treason as they solemnly express their “grave concern” over the “dire circumstances” of the moment.  Such blatant subversion succeeds because godless nations have a desperate need to trust in MAN (Psm 118:8), and thus America was easily duped by the slave masters.

Cursed be the man that trusteth in man [Jer 17:5].

         Many of America’s first statesmen understood the folly of placing “confidence in the flesh” (Philippians 3:3), and duly warned of inevitable tyranny if the federal power could not be restrained.  Accordingly, where the Bill of Rights was an attempt to limit that power, treasonous politicians ignore this document as being “outdated” (just as false pastors denounce the bible as “archaic”) – their illicit agenda being hindered by the words written against them with that very intent (Mk 12:12).

         Because the planners believe the phoenix of their “new order” must arise from the ashes of the old, America will be reduced to a helpless impoverished “region” in the global plantation, leaving the American people in ruin as self-serving political vultures tear the remaining shreds of wealth from the bones of the national corpse.  Although “national prosperity” is not part of the plan for America’s future, the elite intend to make the world a feudal paradise for themselves and their classmates as they preside like gods over a hellish system of work farms and death camps for everyone else (Lk 12:4-5).

         From the Jesuit perspective this “beastly” goal is sufficiently parallel to their own agenda as to make co-operation appropriate until the reigns of world power might be commandeered for themselves – keeping alive the dream as sought for centuries in the Catholic “crusades” and two world wars – that the Babylonian Curia of the Roman harlot could vacate its shabby “cage” in Italy (Rev 18:2) to rule the world from a temple throne in Jerusalem (a prize that has consistently eluded them).  Although Satan employs both “the beast” and the “great whore,” he will require neither of these contenders when he comes fully into power; and, in the meanwhile, he deceives them both, as they also deceive each other and the world in their rival ambitions.  Seeing “a woman sit upon . . . a beast” wonderfully portrays this barely hidden alliance for world power (Rev 17:1-7, 18); yet, begs the question as to which of these “principalities” ultimately prevails.  The beast is taking the harlot for a ride and – as is usually the case when a domineering whore is no longer needed – she will be rudely dumped (Rev 17:15-18).

         From Satan’s point of view, branding mankind as cattle is a crowning achievement in flaunting his preeminence over God’s creation, as well as the ultimate insult in disposing of his human inventory.  By accepting this plan, the nations, in effect, spiritually reject “the land of promise” in preference to slavery and death in Egypt.  In view of the fact that much of the human population is already numbered under various “social security” schemes, it is apparent that the only remaining humiliation is to physically “mark” mankind with a global version of the satanic number which they already accepted.  This agenda is so transparent that even many non-Christians now foresee the coming global nightmare as intended by the elite; and because those who refuse the mark are to be ultimately beheaded (Rev 20:4), it should not be difficult for anyone to understand why the Lord would warn those who love him concerning this future.

         RFID use is now completely routine in commercial livestock, while various state jurisdictions exceed federal dictates by mandating Verichip in privately owned dogs and cats.  The purpose of these onerous intrusions is to force gradual public familiarity with the technology and at the same time provide an interim sales market for the chip prior to universal acceptance within the human population.  To avoid spooking the herd prematurely, the expanding cashless infrastructure must be substantially completed before discontinuing the present fiat “money” supply.  Most unconverted Christians are in a state of denial concerning this plan, and tend to view each advance in its implementation as only an isolated event that is not related to themselves personally, although the Luciferian conspiracy increasingly impacts Americans today.  By introducing Verichip incrementally through multiple applications its usage will be made to seem commonplace without creating panic in everyone at the same time.  (This paradigm is equivalent to billions of cows with tags in their ears being unconcerned about a fleet of McDonald’s trucks pulling into their feed lot – as opposed to becoming nervous and suddenly stampeding in every direction.)

         As the world joins in unreserved obedience to Lucifer as god, the restraining “hedge” (Job 1:9-10) of Michael’s host will be withdrawn from the world (2nd Thes 2:6-7; Dan 10:21), thus allowing that “great tribulation” (Mt 24:21) wherein the Lord’s people will suffer starvation and exposure while waiting to be picked up by death squads (Lk 17:34-37).  Millions of self-deceived Christians will seek to avoid this persecution and try to maintain meager lifestyles by accepting Satan’s mark, yet this initiation ritual is only the beginning of horror – as the purging of God’s elect is only a first round of genocide – with later waves of extermination proceeding against further categories of “useless eaters” and “enemies of the state.”  The slaughter will be happily overseen by a Luciferian elite who are seemingly unaware that their god intends to eventually kill EVERYONE (Mt 24:22).

         Well experienced by historical setbacks, the global planners carefully plot their treason prior to launching decisive blows against the nations, yet they apparently need fear no resistance in the U.S.  The American public has complacently tolerated the perpetual draining of its wealth through the fraud of the “federal reserve” scam, protection rackets for elitist corporations, endless wars for population control and corporate profit, erosion of states’ rights, unlawful taxation, systematic voting fraud, illegal immigration, elimination of the middle class, sabotage of the economy, dumbing-down of education, suppression of the bible, curtailment of free speech, trashing of the Constitution and, now, official use of torture in secret dungeons, an historic hallmark of all satanic governments!  As America rushes to self-destruction, carnal Christians continue to blindly defend the increasing evil within American bureaucracy – a downward spiral that is typically rationalized as resulting from “coincidence, incompetence, and poor judgment” – although it has been duly noted that if America’s politicians were merely incompetent, the statistical limitations of “coincidence” would prohibit the consistency in which their acts further the elite agenda.

         U.S. policy now promotes the murder of America’s unborn, and forcibly mandates deadly vaccines that directly cause mental retardation, cancer, autism, SIDS, and numerous other “mystery syndromes”; and while honest doctors are criminally prosecuted for actually CURING disease, their unscrupulous counterparts are rewarded with kickbacks in return for slowly killing the public with absurdly expensive drugs.  Under the demonic fraud of “fighting tooth decay,” American drinking water is injected with fluoride (the same neurotoxic waste used by Hitler to keep prisoners sedated in his death camps) while the U.S. food supply is adulterated with hormones, antibiotics, and genetic engineering – leaving Americans sick, crippled, depressed, effeminate, bankrupt, and pathetically dependent on a fascist nanny-state that holds its citizens in contempt and usurps the throne of God.

         To maintain the public’s view of itself as “dependent on government,” the press occasionally highlights “outbreaks” of AIDS and Ebola, for example, while ignoring that these artificial viruses were created in U.S. military labs and spread by the World “Health” Organization in forced vaccination campaigns to reduce world population by sterilization and genocide.  The catastrophic results of this agenda are then used to justify further expansion of U.N. authority under the pretense of “controlling disease,” while elitist toadies beat the drum of “terrorism” and “global warming” (fabricated diversions that allow internal tyranny to appear necessary as “national security” solutions).  This ongoing wickedness clearly demonstrates the negligible difference between “eastern terrorists” and U.S. government “agents” (BATF, Blackwater, FBI, CIA, CDC, FDA, etc.) who now routinely commit atrocities against their own countrymen.

         Warfare against nations not conforming to the elite agenda is always hailed as a “peace effort” by the elite press; yet, it is only “terror” to those on the receiving end of the carnage – while the real issue lurking behind all the posturing and propaganda is simply the ancient question:  “Who shall rule the world?” (Isa 9:6-7).  The futility of seeking “peace and justice” through world government by MEN lies in the fact that the Luciferian cadre who run the world care nothing about peace or justice, and intend to completely enslave the world through the U.N. and its satanic “global consciousness” agenda (Rev 13:4).  “Fear” is the slavish emotion (Rev 21:8) that makes the goal obtainable, as the nations are manipulated to accept fascist advances that would otherwise bring national uproar, such as the (so-called) “patriot act” and “homeland security” in the U.S., for example – two outrageously unconstitutional bills that were hopelessly stalled in Congress until the September 11, 2001, trade center hoax provided the perfectly timed excuse that saw them pass quickly into law.

[M]ost propaganda is not designed to fool the critical thinker but only to give moral cowards [in Congress] an excuse not to think at all [– Rivero].

         The press obscured “9/11” events to minimize grass roots awareness of the glaringly obvious, for example:  that only two of the three demolished buildings had been hit by aircraft!  Official “investigators” tossed aside the laws of physics in pretending that “fire” took down “building 7,” which was video-taped collapsing suddenly and symmetrically at free-fall speed, ostensibly due to small dwindling blazes in a few isolated windows.  The official story is a complete fraud.  Prior to the unmistakable controlled demolition of WTC-7, numerous onlookers on the ground heard a series of explosions inside the building after being warned by authorities to withdraw from the area for the stated reason that the building was going to be “pulled!”  In a later taped interview for PBS, building supervisor Larry Silverstein absent-mindedly admitted his involvement in recommending to “pull” the building, and then afterward tried to explain this away when realizing he had spilled the beans.

         Legitimate investigation confirmed that all three buildings were actually brought down by cutter charges of U.S. military grade thermite; yet this finding brought only deafening silence from the press.  Political cronies transparently side-stepped the real issues, and were so obvious in the cover-up as to make the Warren Commission farce, by comparison, look like a real investigation.  The renovation of Rudy Giuliani’s “command center” prior to 9/11 – reinforcing it’s windows to withstand bomb-blast winds – seemed comical when first announced, yet, in retrospect, this objective makes perfect sense, as WTC-7 was clearly used to coordinate the staged “attack” – and explains why it had to be brought down at the end.  This inside-job required free access to the buildings well before September 11, an impossible hurdle for Arab terrorists but easily accomplished by Blackwater contractors overseen by Bush family executives who intervened just before the 9/11 event to “improve security” in the buildings.  Volumes of ignored evidence confirm the facts:

. . . complete, rapid, and symmetrical collapse of the buildings at free fall speed into their own footprints [central cores visibly dropping first] . . . horizontal explosions (squibs) . . . , microscopic dust formed of molten steel spheres having thermite signature [and] steel supports [at anchor points] . . . evaporated. . . .

Conventional demolition practice was instantly apparent to field experts, as also to anyone having even the slightest grasp of elementary physics.  Among the known facts are that fire has NEVER before taken down a steel frame skyscraper – even when consumed by inferno – while it is now claimed by lap-dog government spin-masters that fire took down three in one day!

         The official (but guardedly admitted) story as to the reason why Washington D.C. air space was so easily penetrated is that (by “coincidence”) the military, at the moment of “attack,” was conducting a mock exercise that was identical to the “real” attack and therefore confused the response effort.  Leaving other “coincidences” aside, the convenience of Dick Cheney’s timing in this operation should strain the credulity of even the most naive of loyal optimists.  The enormous list of discrepancies in this matter was ignored by those having government oversight, making it perfectly clear that the “Justice” Department and the entire network of U.S. “news” services have no function except to advance the elitist agenda.  In the event that any occasional dissenting politician would actually represent the American people on a critical issue, his “wiser” colleagues merely look the other way at his untimely death – with the talking heads in the press not so much as raising an eyebrow.  Those having a duty to resist the expanding treason (whether immobilized by fear or blinded by hopes of power) do nothing, while the “churches” (still saluting the federal flag) cower in silence.

His watchmen are blind:  they are all ignorant, they are all dumb dogs, they cannot bark [Isa 56:10-12].

The intent of the 9/11 event was simply to condition gullible Americans craving “revenge” and “safety” (1st Thes 5:3) to accept domestic tyranny and endless “wars and rumours of wars” (Mt 24:6) in the plan to put the human race in shackles.

         The “airliner highjackings” of the 9/11 operation were merely a variation on the “fertilizer bomb” theme used in the previously botched Oklahoma City job, in 1995, wherein federal agents set up Timothy McVeigh as the fall guy in blowing up the Murrah Building.  Several explosive triggers on outer support columns had failed to respond to the “McVeigh” decoy, and first-responding police and fire personnel observed the failed charges being removed by uniformed federal agents who flashed badges but refused to be questioned about their activity.  Two local television stations initially reported the removal of these explosives, yet this was never mentioned again by the syndicated press.  Approximately thirty honest professionals persisted in making an issue of these events which resulted in their being methodically murdered in gangland fashion – this assassination spree being also completely ignored by the establishment press.

         Terrence Yeakey, a truly heroic Oklahoma City Police officer, refused orders from superiors to retract his official report implicating federal agents in the bombing; and was thereafter sadistically butchered while handcuffed (evidently to obtain evidence he was known to have), and then executed.  Yeakey’s death (along with many others) was deemed “SUICIDE” by the FBI, which forcibly assumed jurisdiction in the matter to cover itself by its own sham “investigation!”  The extent of the sickening government corruption was made further evident by prominent politicians who quickly clamored for the crime scene to be cleared away, insisting there was “no need to investigate” the destruction – exactly as was done following the 9/11 operation.  Rising above the damning facts in this brazen conspiracy looms the FIRST and foremost question in forensic investigation:  “Who stood to GAIN from the crime?”

         The motive in the Oklahoma bombing is made particularly obvious by the fact that the Murrah building was the official storage site of highly contested material evidence in connection with the Clinton administration’s former raid on the Davidian church in Waco, Texas – which at the time was under court order to be turned over to Texas Rangers as part of the state’s investigation.  Having committed egregious acts of treason in the Waco assault (pursuant to the order of lesbian Hillary Clinton to “Waste the f****rs!”), federal agents were trapped by previous perjury at Congressional hearings and could not comply with the order, and thus faced the specter of having their treachery exposed to the world or remain in open defiance of the court.  There was, however, a less problematic third alternative that would dispose of the entire matter and save face for the Feds – by simply getting rid of the evidence – and then, on cue, enters Timothy McVeigh with an “ANFO” bomb.  Following this transparent conspiracy of murder and deception, the feds pulled every lever to prevent real investigation while a prostitute press uniformly looked the other way and a corrupt federal judiciary pretended that the dog ate the government’s homework.

         The American people are seemingly undisturbed by the fact that the BATF was told to stay home the day of the Murrah bombing and that FBI agents were caught conspiring to fake heroism and personal injuries to make it appear they had been in the building.  The FBI was exposed in this scam through a GSA employee and an honest doctor who refused to co-operate, both of whom were later murdered.  The doctor reported to the medical board a second doctor’s unlawful co-operation with agents, and then, like a long list of whistle blowers before him, was “killed in a plane crash” on his way to a hearing.  Although numerous demolition professionals certified that it was utterly impossible for a fertilizer-fuel-oil bomb to pulverize the steel-reinforced columns of the Murrah building – even in close proximity, much less from street level – all were ignored.  In response to leaked reports of federal agents demolishing step vans with ANFO bombs in New Mexico prior to this event, government officials simply instructed the public to disregard “conspiracy theories” as they chanted the mantra that McVeigh “alone” caused the carnage!  (And how would they know that?)

         McVeigh was video taped at a distant location when the infamous Ryder truck was being rented by others; and neither McVeigh, nor his CIA handler in the van with him, could even find the building which McVeigh supposedly masterminded to destroy – both men observed asking for directions while driving in circles in downtown Oklahoma City.  Although McVeigh was clearly a scapegoat in a gigantic national coup, the kangaroo federal court in McVeigh’s trial dutifully protected the conspiracy by keeping all facts revealing this from the jury – and, once again, the press ignored the long list of facts against the official story, and the public went back to sleep.

         While waging self-serving wars against oil-rich Arab nations in their game of world chess (similar to smacking a bee’s nest with a broom), the shadow rulers at the same time finance certain Muslim fanatics to create an atmosphere in which domestic repression can appear as a reasonable response in the “war on terror” of their own creation.  Using methods indicated by their motto, “ordo ab chao” (order out of chaos), the elite brazenly dismantle the American Republic while its citizens pretend not to notice.  The press (both secular and religious) supports the agenda by suppressing actual news, diverting public attention with irrelevant issues, and fending off real opposition with a steady campaign of disinformation.  Thus, the planners keep the spotlight off themselves and the dialogue within pre-set limits, while projecting the illusion of a free marketplace.  In reality, all “news” is censored and the truth never gets “air time” unless heavily edited.  Having unlimited wealth through robbery of the world, the elite easily raid any publicly traded corporation – acquiring corporate empires as personal toys, replacing honest executives with their own thugs, and using federal bureaucracy to socialize their costs (at taxpayer expense) in endless schemes of private profit (as, for example, Monsanto’s “ethanol” and GMO corn and soybean production).  While treasonous politicians strut to the tune of their handlers, a clueless public fawns over scripted hollow promises and meaningless rhetoric.

         Well-meaning folks who resent America’s downhill course frequently express political outrage which begins with the words, “Our politicians need to understand . . . ,” however (and more to the point), it is the people themselves who “need to understand” that Satan’s politicians fully intend to usher in the new world order, and they will certainly enslave the American people as called upon to do so, one step at a time – while a dazed public chants, “Since 9/11 we have to accept a few changes.”  And so it is, that a “drunken” nation continues in blind and stubborn rebellion against the Lord while stumbling to its death through the rubble of this “secret” war.  Where many Americans are able to see “inconsistencies” in recent atrocities, they nonetheless with knee-jerk emotion deny all evidence of intentional evil, often blurting out:  “Why would our government want to do that?”  (The reason is simple, and old as man.)  Because the road to tyranny is both paved and camouflaged by pervasive fear, the historical strategy for usurpation of power is to fabricate (or manipulate) pre-arranged acts of horror to induce the public to give up basic rights in exchange for the hope of “safety” (Prov 21:31).  National enslavement is brought about by creating division (typically by class warfare) and then introducing “CHANGE” (Prov 24:21) in order to rescue one side (or the other) from the expanding “uncertainty,” which the planners themselves provide by fomenting the chaos that sells the package to the public.  Creating a fear of “terrorism” is central to the elitist plan because it breeds a necessary public desire for “change at any cost” while producing the state-of-war mentality that tends to silence those who understand (Dan 11:33).

         Satan’s agenda is dramatically revealed in the history of the Rockefeller family acting in league with the Rothschilds.  This elitist consortium made a fortune supporting Hitler during WW II (investing in both sides of the war) while Americans lost their lives in the trenches and their rights at home.  After the war, hundreds of Nazi war criminals were brought to the U.S. through Jesuit “rat lines,” given new identities, and placed in government jobs in the CIA and other Black-Ops agencies, including U.S. military laboratories concentrating on eugenics and genocide.  At the same time, the U.S. State Department, infested with communists, funneled American dollars to the Bolsheviks in the murderous build-up of the Soviet Union, while Americans continued to lose their wealth and their rights through the absurd political fiction of the “cold war.”  Prominent among numerous acts of treason was the American State Department’s betrayal of the war-torn Chinese people by bringing the communist butcher Mao Tse Dung into power.  The evil of this elitist agenda included sweeping giveaways of Europe to Bolshevik dictators and the financing of devilish regimes which enslaved and murdered hundreds of millions of souls.  Fittingly, whereas America was used like a dumb ox to provide the enormous wealth, engineering, and brute force necessary to install the high-tech global gulag of the new world order, it is now itself stripped, bankrupt, and paralyzed (Hosea 8:7).

         Communist China’s stellar expansion in manufacturing – commensurate with America’s dismal economic decline – was initiated by Richard Nixon (a David Rockefeller flunky slapped around by Henry Kissinger) who began wholesale transfer of U.S. technocracy to China, in 1971.  Through the Alger Hiss affair, the controlled press had prominently portrayed Nixon to the American public as a staunch anti-communist conservative, thereby making it politically possible for Rocky’s puppet to later openly embrace the Chinese Communist Party as an American “business partner!”  And so, Chinese slaves now “compete” while Americans borrow (Psm 9:17; Prov 22:7; 29:2).

         With the world police state being essentially completed America’s services are no longer required by the planners; thus, making this nation of well armed citizens nothing but a bloated liability to the oligarchy who simply shipped out the technical capability and capital in which Americans ignorantly placed their “confidence” (Prov 14:26) – leaving them helpless against future plunder, disarmament, invasion, and extermination.  Rush Limbaugh was instrumental to this phase of the plan by leading thousands of sincere but gullible Americans (taking Limbaugh at face value) to demand passage of stalled elitist trade agreements designed to give communist China duty-free access to U.S. markets.  Prior to the critical vote on these bills, reluctant politicians, who apparently would not have voted for this treason otherwise, conferred with Limbaugh to inquire if he was sure that, “This is what we want?”  (He was sure!)  Although Limbaugh sold “free trade” to the American people as being “free enterprise,” this legislation only undermined a doomed U.S. economy already crippled by unlawful regulation and taxes that could not possibly compete with China on such an un-level playing field.  And so (while Americans watched football) the elite flooded the U.S. with cheap slave-labor products made under the whip of the Chinese army – and thus, the object of America’s “pride” became its downfall (Prov 16:18) – yet, free enterprise is not “failing” in America, as is often claimed:  America’s own politicians are methodically crushing it out of existence.

         In 2007, Chinese officials announced their future intent to implant all of China’s population with Verichip – and, in the meanwhile, the Holy Spirit works wonderfully in that great country, as evidenced by flourishing Christianity under fanatic suppression by the communist party.  Serving as a preview of America’s own future, China’s saints now meet secretly in “house” churches (Col 4:15) and live in the shadow of death (Psm 23:4) by refusing to join the party’s official (atheist) “show-churches” that were gushingly praised by Luciferian puppets, Billy Graham and Hillary Jezebel Clinton, in their staged tours promoting Communist China (1st Jn 4:5).  Presently on the brink of world genocide – with death camps across America and special detachments trained and ready to operate them, many Americans naively ask:  “How could such things be hidden?” – yet these things are not “hidden” (they’re just not “in the news”) and this landscape was clearly revealed by the Lord:

. . . I will shew unto thee . . . the great whore . . . with whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication. . . [T]he woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour . . . drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus . . . [sitting on] seven mountains . . . , that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth [Rev 17:1-18].

         Two hundred years of intrigue and subterfuge by the Roman Harlot have resulted in a corrupt, fragmented, and deceived America; whose corporate churches today openly conspire to “reconcile” with Rome (in the aftermath of her bloody persecutions) so as to “unite the body of Christ!”  Foolishly desiring fellowship with evil (2nd Cor 6:14), Americans congratulate themselves in fornicating with the “great whore,” blissfully ignoring fifteen hundred years of torture and genocide wherein Rome spilled “the blood of the saints” in devilish frenzies – a time still known among Jesuits and initiated Catholics as the “golden years.”  Being now hardened against all reproof of their traitorous collusion with the world (Jms 4:4), the compromised churches altogether reject the Lord’s words (Mk 8:38) and warnings:

Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues [Rev 18:4].

Waltzing along the broad road to self-destruction (Mt 7:13), America has utterly departed from the Lord – and so “the glory is departed” from America (Jer 45:4).  As waning tolerance for “truth” combines with a raging spirit of antichrist (2nd Pt 2:2), the foundation of “liberty” that was once a feature of this country is now clearly removed (2nd Cor 3:17), thus dooming this apostate nation to the godless socialist government and dark fascist future that Americans foolishly craved and richly deserve – “and there is no new thing under the sun” (Ecc 1:9).

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places [Eph 6:12].

         The “good news” (Prov 25:25) is that Jesus Christ, by his own work and righteousness, has already defeated Satan and “overcome the world” (Jn 16:33).  The devil’s horrific (but hollow) victory over the saints will be brought to a swift end by the Lord, whose glory until “that day” is manifest in us, as it is written:  “In your patience possess ye your souls” (Lk 21:19).  The Lord invites all who will have him as Lord and savior to come to him, in spite of Satan’s ascending power over the world, and has promised that, “whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved” (Acts 2:21); but, as it is also written:  “Seek ye the Lord while he may be found” (Isa 55:6), for the hour is late and “now is the day of salvation” (2nd Cor 6:2).

And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child:  and the children shall rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put to death.  And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake:  but he that endureth to the end shall be saved [Mt 10:21-22].

He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly.  Amen.  Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

The Truth about Catholicism: Mother of Harlots

This bible study looks at the brutal truth concerning a hideously evil thing that has deceived and devoured the world.  It is not written out of hatred for those who are deceived by it (as will naturally be assumed by those who do not know the truth) but is rather written out of the love of Jesus Christ who would have all men to be saved, which love of his is shed abroad upon the hearts of men everywhere who are called to love the truth, that they may be made free.

John 8:32-36   “And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”

(or, if you reject God’s word:)

2nd Thessalonians 2:10-13   “. . . because they received not the love of the truth . . . . God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:  that they all might be damned who believed not the truth. . . .”

John 4:23   “But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth  for the Father seeketh such to worship him.”

The Holy Roman Catholic Church”  (according to the news media, the world’s politicians, all the deceived.)  The Lord calls this thing the  “the great whore”.  [This institution is truly “Roman” and “catholic” (meaning “universal”), but it is not “Holy”, and can rightly be called “the church” only when referred to as the church of Satan.  Some salient points follow.

  • Satan is a lying, murdering, deceiver and he is in the religious business.  He devises counterfeits.

 

  • As the Lord Jesus has a church, Satan the imposter also has a church.

 

  • As the Lord Jesus Christ has Jerusalem, Satan presently has Rome (although “Satan’s seat” has previously been in numerous previous locations down through the centuries).  The Lord has nothing to do with Rome, except to call out those who are in it!  (Revelation 18:4)
  • It should be understood, that, by definition, the MOTHER OF HARLOTS” would have daughters!)
  • Roman Catholicism claims to be the “the mother of churches”, which is only half true:  she is, in fact, the mother of all corrupt churches, or “MOTHER OF HARLOTS”; as it is written,As is the mother, so is her daughter.”  – Ezekiel 16:44)
  • Satan’s daughter institutions have in common that they are organized by their incorporation under the authority and power of the state, with Catholicism PRESIDING OVER THE STATE AND THEM.

(1)  The mother of whores is NOT incorporated, nor is she required to incorporate by any power.

(2)  The daughter harlot denominations incorporate because they are subject to her and outwardly demonstrate it in this and many other ways!)

QUESTION:  What is incorporation?

ANSWER:  At the outset, it is the admission that the thing in question is not sovereign, but subject rather to the authority under whose power it “incorporates.”  (Catholicism rules over the governments AND their “churches,” which is why they incorporate but she does not:  they are directly subject to her earthly power, which is, in turn, subject only to Satan.)

  • Catholicism’s many daughter “churches” are “earthy” and their “idol shepherds” truly despise God’s word while pretending to be preachers of it, just as do the priests of their spiritual “MOTHER”!
  • It is ABSURD to believe or claim, as do Catholic apologists, that something as corrupt and evil as Catholicism would “. . . some day give rise to true Christianity.”  The only thing “giving rise” to Christianity is Jesus Christ the Lord.
  • The plan of God is that his church should be built upon Jesus Christ as foundation and be composed of those who are born again by the power of God to be wholly new creatures, in Christ!

The Nature of Whoredom  (You could call these “LAWS” of the matter.”)

(A)  A whore does for money with strangers, what a wife does with her husband freely.  (Whoredom isn’t “love”:  it is REBELLION against God, and the LOVE OF MONEY.)

 

(B)       Men go to whores trying to get what they’re not getting otherwise.  (Fulfillment, happiness, “love”(?), excitement  – something is missing for them!)

(If this kind of talk seems rough to your ears, consider how much you learn by the Lord calling Roman Catholicism:

(1)  “the whore” (Revelation 17:15&16),

(2)  “the great whore,” (17:1 & 19:2), and

(3)  “MOTHER OF HARLOTS”! (17:5)

(C)  If a whore has a husband she makes a disgrace of herself and him (in this case, Satan.)

(D)  When a whore isn’t needed anymore, she will be dumped!

Revelation 17:16   “And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.”

Jeremiah 51:1-2   “. . . I will raise up against Babylon . . . fanners, that shall fan her . . . they shall be against her. . . .

[All the “Pontifical” and Jesuit strategies and delusions of glory and power for their religion is for nothing, except to fulfill prophecy!  Catholicism was doomed from the beginning, and the old abomination will be tossed by her lovers like used Kleenex when Satan no longer needs her services.]

Revelation 17:1   “And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters. . . .”

[John is shown a vision of the destruction of an evil thing that is very wealthy and appears outwardly beautiful.]

(See:  Jeremiah 51:13   “O thou that dwellest upon many waters, abundant in treasures, thine end is come. . . .”)

[The “many waters” seen in John’s vision represent something:]

v. 15   “And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.”  [in other words, the extent of her power and dominion is worldwide.]

L         v. 2   With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.”  [that is, spiritual fornication:  she claims Christ, but is utterly pagan.]

(The “pope” is the chief politician of the world, and the “kings” and “great men” of the world know to court his favor if they are to get power or keep power.)

L         v. 3   “. . . I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast. . . .”

NOTE:

(A)  The whore is here referred to as “a woman.”

(1)  There are two women in the book of Revelation (as there are two riders on a white horse):  they are not the same “woman” and are not to be confused with each other.

(2)  The term “a woman” appears twice in the book of Revelation, once in 12:1, and also once in 17:3.

(3)  The “woman” of chapter 12 is Israel (typified by Jerusalem), and

(4)  The “woman” of chapter 17 is Catholicism (typified by Rome).

(B)  The whore cooperates with a beast  –  she has a partner.

(C)  The “woman” of Revelation 17 has always hated the “woman” in chapter 12 for the same reason Ishmael has always hated Isaac:  ENVY!]

L         v. 3   “. . . full of names of blasphemy. . . .”  [The whore hates the God of heaven.]

v. 3   “. . . having seven heads. . . .”  [The “seven heads” seen in John’s vision represent something:]

L         v. 9   “The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.”  [in other words, the city of Rome!]

L         v. 18   “And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.”

[The whore has used”the kings of the earth” as tools to destroy those she hates:]

L   v. 6   “And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. . . .”

[The whore has murdered millions of Christians, most notably during the “dark ages” (which period of history is referred to as the  “golden years” by papists, or as “the middle ages” by those who are either ignorant or wish to appear neutral).]

QUESTION:  If we call those evil days the “middle ages,” what are they the “middle” of?

“. . . and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.”  [Her wealth makes her appear outwardly beautiful.  She is a very ugly whore with a lot of expensive stuff (and the news media always casts her in a favorable light).]

v. 3   “. . . and ten horns.”  [The “ten horns” seen in John’s vision represent something:]

L               v. 12   “And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.”  [They will have the power they lusted for, but it will be short lived.]

L   v. 4   “And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour. . . .”

[The whore is decked out in the official colors of Roman Catholicism.]

L         v. 4   “. . . and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls. . . .”  [The whore is fabulously wealthy.  (For centuries she plundered and confiscated the wealth of the true Christians whom she branded as “heretics” and then killed.)]

L   v. 4   “. . . having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication. . . .”

[If you don’t picture a black-robed priest “performing the mass” here, you just don’t get it.]

(PROPHECY:  Jeremiah 51:7   “Babylon hath been a golden cup in the Lord’s hand, that made all the earth drunken:  the nations have drunken of her wine; therefore the nations are mad.”)

L         v. 5   “And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.”  [This is her true name.]

The Religious History of the Harlot and its Priesthood [Judges 17 & 18]  (Compare with Revelation 17 & 18)

17:2   “And he said unto his mother, The eleven hundred shekels . . . about which thou cursedst . . . I took it.”

[Micah is a thief, and his mother displayed her foul mouth when the money turned up missing.]

“And his mother said, Blessed be thou of the Lord, my son.”  [when she finds out what he did with the money!]

(A) Micah’s mother is quite religious.  (Satan is religious.)

James 1:26   If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man’s religion is vain.”

(B) Micah’s mother pays lip service to the Lord.

Matthew 15:8   “This people . . . honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.”

(C) Micah’s mother blesses her son, the thief.  [Both cursing and blessing come out of her mouth.]

James 3:10   “Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing.  . . . these things ought not so to be.”

v. 3   She intends “to make a graven image and a molten image. . . .”

NOTICE:

[She would have been better off if Micah had simply stolen the money and squandered it on a good time.]

Deuteronomy 27:15   “Cursed be the man that maketh any graven or molten image. . . .”

Exodus 20:4   “Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing. . . .”

(Men seem to be running things here but the woman is the spiritual head of this house, the commonly used religious method used by Satan to control the home according to his plan:  the husband has no function except to take out the trash, and he is otherwise left to console himself by getting drunk or getting “high.”  He resents his wife’s authority over him, and spends his life in adultery in revenge against his wife who treats him like a child.)

  •             1st Timothy 2:11-12   “But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man. . . .”

(The woman pays lip service to “the Lord,” but FOLLOWS the idolatrous religious practices of the heathen enemies of Israel.)

  •             Matthew 6:24   “No man can serve two masters. . . .  Ye cannot serve God and mammon.”
  •             2nd Corinthians 4:3-4   (Satan is a real “god,” and the “universal” (or “catholic”) substitute for the Lord.)

[Every man that ever did anything “religious,” in his ignorance, THOUGHT he served “the real god.”]

  •                         John 16:2-3   “. . . the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service.”

v. 4   She goes to the founder with her money, and “poof!,” these abominations end up “. . . in the house of Micah.”

(See:  Exodus 32:1-24   “. . . then I cast [the gold] into the fire, and there came out this calf.”)  (Poof!)

(2nd Kings 10:26-31   “the golden calves . . . were in . . . Dan)

Jeremiah 10:14-15   “. . . every founder is confounded by the graven image:  for his molten image is falsehood. . . .”

QUESTION:  How does the founder’s graven image confound him?

ANSWER:  2nd Thessalonians 2:10-13

Deuteronomy 7:25-26   “Neither shalt thou bring an abomination into thine house, lest thou be a cursed thing like it . . . for it is a cursed thing.”  (Not in Micah’s opinion.  He thinks it’s an “aid to worship.”)

v. 5   Micah begins with “just a couple, or so,” but naturally ends up with a whole “house of gods.”

(1st Corinthians 8:5   “. . . as there be gods many, and lords many . . .”)

Judges 18:31   “. . . the house of God was in Shiloh.”  (Micah has rejected “the house of God . . . in Shiloh.”)

(This religion is a carnal SUBSTITUTE for true worship of the Lord; like:  “mediatrix” instead of “mediator,” “penance” instead of “repentance,” “rapture” instead of “resurrection,” “our lady” instead of “our Lord,” “original plenary autographs” instead of “scripture,” “share” instead of “preach,” “teach,” or “edify,” etc.)

[Shiloh was where the Lord’s “name” was . . . ]  (But there wasn’t enough religious junk in Shiloh to suit Micah!)

2nd Chronicles 20:9   “. . . thy name is in this house . . .”

Jeremiah 7:9-10   “ . . . this house, which is called by my name . . .”

[and was the only place where the Lord would dwell with men.]

Exodus 25:8   “And let them make me a sanctuary; that I may dwell among them.”

Exodus 29:43-46   “And there I will meet with the children of Israel. . . .”  (Another place is the wrong place!)

[Micah is in the business of doing again, what the Lord has done already (as in coming up with “new versions of the bible”).  Under the direction of his religious hypocrite mother, Micah assumes a religion, and religious paraphernalia to go with it, setting up his own son as a “priest” over himself.]  (Men wickedly bring this evil upon themselves:)

Isaiah 3:12   “. . .children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. . . .”  (the Catholic formula!)

(Compare:)  Genesis 18:17-19   “. . . Abraham . . . will command his children and his household after him. . . .”

v. 6   “. . . every man did that which was right in his own eyes.”

Deuteronomy 12:8   “Ye shall not do . . . every man whatsoever is right in his own eyes.”  (Even “if you claim you’re sincere when you do it!”)

Proverbs 14:12   “There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.”

[This is the problem with the world NOW!]

[Ignorant men are always asking, “Why does the Lord allow all this evil?]

(In other words it’s God’s fault for all the evil going on!)

ANSWER:  John 18:36   “My kingdom is not of this world . . . now is my kingdom not from hence.”

(The children of this world do not obey the Lord because they do not belong to him and are not part of his kingdom!)

Isaiah 9:6-7   “and the government shall be upon his shoulder. . . .”  (prophecy of the solution to the problem)

Revelation 11:15   “The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord. . . .”  (Problem solved!)

v. 7   This sojourning “Levite” is rejected of God.

Hosea 4:6   “. . . thou shalt be no priest to me:  seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God. . . .”

He is a Levite “of the family of Judah . . .”  (This will probably be the same lineage as “Antichrist.”)

Hebrews 7:14   “. . . our Lord sprang out of Juda. . . .”

(Isaiah 14:12-14   “O Lucifer . . . thou hast said in thine heart . . . I will be like the most High.”)  (He’s a copycat!)

v. 8   “And the man departed out of the city from Beth-lehem-judah. . . .”

(In other words, he “left” his “first estate”)

See:  Jude 6   “. . . angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation . . .”  (DEVILS)

“to sojourn where he could find a place. . . .”

The Levite already had “a place” and rejected it!  (He is apostate!)

Exodus 23:20   “. . . I send an Angel before thee . . . to bring thee into the place which I have prepared.”

Numbers 8:18-22   “. . . after that went the Levites in to do their service in the tabernacle of the congregation . . .                 as the Lord had commanded Moses concerning the Levites. . . .”

Numbers 18:21   “. . . I have given the children of Levi all the tenth . . . for . . . the service of the tabernacle. . . .”

(This apostate Levite didn’t want out of the religious business, yet he left the flock the Lord had appointed him.)

Zechariah 11:17   “Woe to the idol shepherd that leaveth the flock!”  (“idol shepherd”:  a priest that likes idols)

L   v. 10   “And Micah said unto him, Dwell with me, and be unto me a father and a priest. . . .”  (“CATHOLICISM”)

Micah desires a priest (of this young man) that he can call father!?!  (Micah is Satanic!)

Matthew 23:9   “And call no man your father upon the earth:  for one is your Father, which is in heaven.”

(Satan rubs the Lord’s nose in it, that SATAN IS THIS MAN’S FATHER, not the Lord!)

John 8:44-47   “Ye are of your father the devil . . . ye are not of God.”

(Notice in this verse, that for room, board, clothes, and a paycheck this Levite can be bought🙂

“So the Levite went in.”  (He is not called of God!  He was hired,.  He is “an hireling.”)

Proverbs 23:23   Buy the truth, and sell it not. . . .”

Ezekiel 34:2   “Woe be to the shepherds of Israel that do feed themselves!”  (As long as there’s a living in it.)

v. 13   “the Lord will do me good” – ! ? ! (He deceives himself that the Lord has anything to do with his religion.)

Deuteronomy 29:10-20   “. . . when he heareth the words of this curse, that he bless himself in his heart. . . .”

(John 14:23   “If a man love me, he will keep my words. . . .” and he won’t be cursed!)

How the religion was spread

18:1   “In those days there was no king in Israel. . . .”

(See 17:6 for the idea here.)

“. . . the tribe of the Danites sought them an inheritance . . . for . . . their inheritance had not fallen unto them. . . .”

[The tribe of Dan did not get their inheritance, AND NEVER WILL!]

[Dan and Ishmael were both born of a bond woman.  Resenting that which God had chosen, Dan [Jacob + Bilhah] hates and tries to supplant Levi [Jacob + Leah] (and also Judah), just as Ishmael [Abraham + Hagar] hates Isaac [Abraham + Sarah], and just as Cain hated Abel, “for envy”.]

Genesis 16:1-4,15,21   “And Sarai said unto Abram, . . . go in unto my maid . . . that I may obtain children by her.”

[The result:  ISHMAEL!  (rejected by God as the children of promise)]

Genesis 30:1-6    “And [Rachel] said, Behold my maid Bilhah, go in unto her . . . that I may also have children by her.”

[The result:  DAN!  (Dan was rejected by God from the tribes of Israel]

(Compare:  Genesis 49:3-28 with Revelation 7:4-8)

[The spiritual descendants of Dan dressed up in black robes and broad phylacteries, pretending to be a priesthood!]

[Catholicism is “anti-Semitic,” which is the basis of its friendship with the “Arabs” who also hate the Jews.  (The “Pope” and the Arabs both sided with Hitler during WWII.)]

(Genesis 43:32   “. . . the Hebrews . . . an abomination unto the Egyptians.”)

(1st Samuel 13:4   “. . .  Israel also was had in abomination with the Philistines.”)

[Common hatred has always been a basis for friendship among the servants of Satan.]

(Luke 23:12   “And the same day Pilate and Herod were made friends together:  for before they were at enmity. . . .”)

Genesis 49:1   Jacob prophesies his 12 sons futures

v. 17   and Dan shall be a serpent by the way. . . .”  (a reference to Satan)

(see:  Genesis 3:1-4, 14  &  Revelation 20:2   “that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan. . . .”)

Amos 8:14   “They that . . . say, Thy God O Dan, liveth . . . shall fall, and never rise up again.”

(THIS IS A CURSE, AND THE NAME OF “DAN” IS NEVER MENTIONED AGAIN!)

John 6:70   Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil?”  (Do you see the pattern here?)

(It was the same with the twelve tribes as with the twelve apostles.)

Acts 1:15-26   “Let his habitation be desolate . . . and his bishoprick let another take.”

(Incidentally the Lord ignored the casting of lots and chose his own replacement:  Saul of Tarsus, Paul.)

1st Corinthians 15:1-10   “. . . the least of the apostles . . . by the grace of God I am what I am. . . .”

1:1   “PAUL, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God.”

The end of the matter is contained in Revelation 21:10-14.

Revelation 21:14   “And the wall of the city had . . . the names of the twelve apostles  of the Lamb.”

(Paul’s name is on one of those walls, but not Judas’ . . .)

v. 12   “. . . and at the gates . . . names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes. . . .”

(and Manasses’ name is on one of those gates, but not Dan’s!)

v. 2   Dan is a tribe of roving marauders, looking for a “religion.”  (What was wrong with the religion they already had?)

v. 3   “When they were by the house of Micah, they knew the voice of the young man the Levite. . . .”

Isn’t it a small world?

v. 4   “Micah . . . hath hired me, and I am his priest.”

(If this “priest” is “hired” of men, then we know he will hit the road as soon as he gets a better offer.)

John 10:12   “But he that is an hireling . . . leaveth the sheep . . . and careth not for the sheep.”

v. 5   “And they said unto him, Ask counsel, we pray thee, of God. . . .”

Like Micah and his mother, these children of the devil pay lip service to “God.”

v. 6   “And the priest said unto them, Go in peace:  before the Lord is your way wherein ye go.”

The priest (the apostate Levite) also pays lip service to “the Lord” and is careful to be optimistic in his “prophesy.”

Example: 1st Kings 22:1-28   “And Micaiah said, If thou return at all in peace, the Lord hath not spoken by me.”

Deuteronomy 18:20-22   “. . . the prophet, which shall presume to speak a word in my name, which I have not             commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods, even that prophet shall die.

[This “priest” is a false prophet and should have been put to death.  (Instead he will become the first pope.)]

v. 7   “. . . there was no magistrate in the land, that might put them to shame in anything. . . .”

(That is, there was little chance they would get caught and punished for the evil they intended.)

v. 9   “. . . we have seen the land, and, behold, it is very good . . .”

[This is just a cheap Satanic imitation of Joshua and Caleb after spying out the land of Canaan.]

Numbers 14:6-7   “The land, which we passed through to search it, is an exceeding good land.”

“be not slothful to go, and to enter to possess the land.”

[This is Satan copy-catting Moses.]

Deuteronomy 1:8   “. . . go in and possess the land which the Lord sware unto your fathers. . . .”

v. 10   “. . . for God hath given it into your hands. . . .”  [No, God didn’t give it into their hands, they just took it!]

v. 12   “. . .they called that place Mahanehdan. . . .”  [“the camp of Dan”]

v. 14   “. . . now therefore consider what ye have to do.”  [It took about 3 seconds!]

v. 15   “And they turned thitherward, and came . . . unto the house of Micah, and saluted him.”

That old “sign of the bowman” salute the pope is still using?  (Remember they planned to rob him!)

v. 16   “And the six hundred men appointed with their weapons of war . . . stood by. . . .”

“How many troops hath the pope?”  (One of the few pertinent questions ever asked about the old fox.)

v. 18   “Then said the priest unto them, What do ye?”

(For a “prophet” this “priest” is a little slow on the uptake.)

v. 19   “. . . and be to us a father and a priest. . . .”

The religion gets passed along intact only on a bigger scale.

v. 20   “And the priest’s heart was glad. . . .”

Of course, it was:  more money, more honor of men, more power, more women. . . .  His heart was real glad.

v. 24   “Ye have taken away my gods which I made, and the priest. . . .”  [“Here today, gone tomorrow.”]

[Compare with our God:]

Romans 8:38-39   “. . . neither death, nor life . . . nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us. . . .”

Psalm 23:4   “Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death . . . thou art with me. . . .”

v. 25   “. . . lest angry fellows run upon thee, and thou lose thy life, with the lives of thy household.”

[You know, “Sometimes you have to kill a few people “to spread the gospel.”   — Office of the Inquisition

(or:)  “If you’re going to make an omelet you have to break a few eggs.”  — the CIA

(or:)  “If you’re going to run the mob, sometimes you have to break a few bones.”  — Mafia]

v. 26   “. . . when Micah saw that they were too strong for him, he turned and went back. . . .”

(Isaiah 42:17   “They shall be turned back, they shall be greatly ashamed, that trust in graven images. . . .”)

v. 27   “. . . they . . . came unto . . . a people that were at quiet . . . and they smote them with the edge of the sword. . . .”

(This is the exact format used by the pope throughout Europe, Mexico, South America, etc.)

v. 28   “And there was no deliverer. . . .”  (Which is why they got away with it.)

[The “deliverer” is a reference to the Lord himself, and to his intervention and protection.]

2nd Samuel 22:2   “The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer. . . .”

Romans 11:26   “. . . as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer. . . .”

v. 29   “And they called the name of the city Dan, after the name of Dan their father. . .”

“who was born unto Israel. . . .”  (But rejected of God.)

v. 30   “And the children of Dan set up the graven image. . . .”

(Of course they did!  When you have a graven image, you will always set it up!)

“he and his sons were priests to the tribe of Dan . . .”  (As though the Levitical priesthood didn’t exist?)

(How is it that this phoney replacement “priesthood” didn’t mind presiding over a religion based on graven images?)

“until the day of the captivity of the land.”

(The captivity was sent by the Lord because this renegade priesthood brought Israel into rebellion against God.)

v. 31   “And they set them up Micah’s graven image . . .”

(This is a particularly sore spot with the Lord, and he repeats himself from verse 30.)

“all the time that the house of God was in Shiloh.”

(There are now two religions in Israel:  one is according to the true pattern, and the other is a Harlot phoney.  These Danites are outwardly “religious,” but  God’s plan for worship is utterly rejected by them.  They are “Catholic.”)

1st Corinthians 6:15-17   “. . . know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? . . .   But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.”

This Harlot Religion Is Cursed of God

Revelation 18:4   Come out of her, my people, that ye . . . receive not of her plagues.”

Jeremiah 51:6,45   My people, go ye out of the midst of her . . . from the fierce anger of the Lord.”

[But the whole world, in rebellion against God, joins in with her!  The “ecumenical movement” is of Satan.]

Revelation 19:2   “. . . he hath judged the great whore . . . and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand.”

[They pay lip service to Christ, but they are of antichrist.]

Mark 7:6   “He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.”

Matthew 7:16   “Ye shall know them by their fruits.”

Corruptions of Doctrine by Catholicism  (Abbreviated bible references follow:  for additional information see relevant studies.)

(1)  The bible (“Authorized” or “King James”) is the word of God and is the authority for the church.  (See:  “The Bible” file.)

1st Corinthians 4:6   “And these things, brethren, I have in a figure transferred to myself and to Apollos for your sakes; that ye might learn in us not to think of men above that which is written. . . .”

Psalm 138:2   “. . . for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.”

[Of all the hundreds of so-called “bibles,” only “the King James” is NOT making a profit from a copyright.  The “Authorized” bible alone was literally given free to the world, as it is written:]

Matthew 10:8   “. . . freely ye have received, freely give.”

!     Any “bible” except the Authorized is acceptable for use, although none of them is to be really considered authority, since only “the Roman church”, along with its opinions, traditions, bulls, dogmas, cannons, decrees, councils, “holy fathers,” etc., has authority in conjunction with the bible. [even though these all hopelessly contradict each other].

1st Corinthians 14:33   “For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.”

1st Samuel 15:23   “Because thou hast rejected the word of the Lord, he hath also rejected thee. . . .”

Matthew 15:9   “But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.”

(If a man claims his authority is “the bible AND the church,” then he has TWO authorities, he has simply made himself his own authority in choosing between them, in response to his opinions!)

(2)  The Lord Jesus Christ is the church’s only mediator.

1st Timothy 2:3-6   “For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus. . . .”

!     “Mary co-mediates for the church”.  (This dead woman’s official  Catholic title is “mediatrix”.)

John 14:6   “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life:  no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”

Acts 4:10-12   “Neither is there salvation in any other. . . .”

Colossians 2:10   “And ye are complete in him. . . .”

Matthew 6:24   No man 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.”  (Guess which one gets despised!)

Matthew 11:28-29   “Come unto me . . . I will give you rest . . . learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart. . . .”

John 10:1   “. . . He that entereth not by the door . . . but climbeth up some other way . . . is a thief and a robber.”

v. 7   “Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.”  (not Mary, or anybody else!)

Isaiah 53:3-7   He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows. . . .”

“Mary’s” title, “Our Lady of Sorrows”, was simply stolen from the Lord.

(3)  The Lord hates “the queen of heaven”.

Jeremiah 44:4-17   “Oh, do not this abominable thing that I hate.  . . . to burn incense unto the queen of heaven. . . .”

(The people have always loved worshipping this abomination and will never quit.)

7:17-20   “. . . they . . . make cakes to the queen of heaven . . . that they may provoke me to anger.”

!     “Mary is the queen of heaven and so is to be given glory.”  [The real “Mary” has no part with this.]

Isaiah 42:8   “I am the Lord . . . and my glory will I not give to another.”

1st Kings 11:5,33;  Acts 19:26-28,35   “Ashtoreth . . . Diana” and now “Mary!”  (New name:  same scam!)

Ecclesiastes 1:9-10   “The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be . . . there is no new thing under the sun.”

(4)  New Jerusalem is the mother of us all.

Galatians 4:26   “. . . Jerusalem which is above . . . is the mother of us all.”

(For “New Jerusalem” see:  Rev 21:2;  3:12;  &   21:10)

Isaiah 66:10-13   “As one whom his mother comforteth, so will I comfort you; and ye shall be comforted in Jerusalem.”

!     “Mary is the mother of us all.”  [There is, of course, no such thing in the bible!]

[Satan’s strategy relies on your believing the lie that “Mary” is your mother so you could be led to worship the abomination of the “queen of heaven.”  (One deception is built upon another.]

2nd Corinthians 2:11   “Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.”

(5)  Mary was a proper biblical wife to her husband, Joseph, in that she had sex with him following the birth of the Lord.

Matthew 1:22-25   [Joseph] . . . knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son. . . .”

(After “her firstborn son” was born, Joseph knew her, which is commanded.)

1st Corinthians 7:4-5   [concerning sex in marriage]  “Defraud ye not one the other. . . .”

Matthew 12:46-50   “. . . his mother and his brethren stood without. . . .”

(Also in Mark 3:31-35  &  Luke 8:19-21)

Matthew 13:55-56   “. . . his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas?”

Mark 6:3   “. . . the brother of James . . . [etc.] and . . . his sisters. . . .”

(If you’re trying to tell yourself that “brethren” is synonymous with “disciples,” you ignored the bible:)

John 2:12   “. . . he, and his mother, and his brethren, and his disciples. . . .”

Psalm 69:8   [prophecy]  “. . . a stranger unto my brethren, and an alien unto my mother’s children.”

(This prophecy is proved in the following verse 9, and in John 2:13-17)

!     “Mary is the eternal virgin.”

[This corruption of the true Mary, which was not instituted until after several centuries of gradual perversion of truth by the “popes” is designed to make the Catholic queen of heaven conform to the ancient pagan version.]

(Satan must lift Mary up if she is to be worshiped, however the Lord never participated in any of this evil:)

Luke 11:27-28   “And it came to pass, as he spake these things, a certain woman of the company lifted up her voice, and said unto him, Blessed is the womb that bare thee, and the paps which thou hast sucked.  But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it.”

(The Lord repeatedly put Mary in her place, for example!)

Matthew 12:46-50   “While he yet talked to the people, behold, his mother and his brethren stood without, desiring to speak with him.  Then one said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to speak with thee.  But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren?  And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren!”

(6)  Mary is the mother of the Lord’s flesh when he was born into the world as Messiah, “Son of God” and “Son of man”.

(For Messiah to become the “Son of man”, he would have to be “born of a woman” and he was, yet he himself was from the beginning! as it is written:)

John 1:1-3   In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”

vs. 14-15   “And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us. . . .  John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was before me.”

[As it was with John Baptist, it also is with Mary:  the Lord came “after” Mary concerning the birth of the flesh, but he was before her.]

[The priests worship and glorify the Lord’s fleshly parents, because the priests are carnal, deceived, and evil!]

Romans 1:24-25   “. . . Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature. . . .”

(That is, for example, “Mary”, “saints”, “holy fathers”, graven images of “Peter”, etc.)

!     “Mary is the mother of God.”  (See:  “Mary, The Catholic Version” file.)

(This term, “mother of God” is a blatant blasphemy, and the information in the bible against it is staggering.)

Hebrews 7:1-3   “For this Melchisedec, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him; to whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all; first being by interpretation King of righteousness, and after that also King of Salem, which is, King of peace; without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life [The Son of God was on earth before being born of a woman.]  (Perhaps, being deceived by Catholicism, you did not know that!)

v. 4   “Now consider how great this man was. . . .”  (Why are YOU helping Satan to raise up Mary?)

Psalm 110:4   “The Lord hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.”

(The prophecy of Messiah is, of the “the order of Melchizedek.”  Jesus Christ the Lord.)

(7)  The church is to keep itself from graven images.  (See:  “Graven Images” file.)

Exodus 20:4-6   “Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven. . . .”

Deuteronomy 7:26   “Neither shalt thou bring an abomination into thine house, lest thou be a cursed thing like it: but thou shalt utterly detest it, and thou shalt utterly abhor it; for it is a cursed thing.”

1st Thessalonians 1   “For they themselves shew of us what manner of entering in we had unto you, and how ye turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God. . . .”

John 4:24   “God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.”

!     Graven images are to be considered by the Roman church as “aids to worship”.

Romans 3:4   “God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.”

(8)  “Holy Father” is a title of the Godhead.

John 17:11  (The one and only use of this term in the bible is here used when the Lord prayed to his heavenly Father.)

!           “Holy Father” is a title of the “Pope”.  [The worldwide use of this term for the “Pope” reveals both the depraved state of the man who takes this title, and the ignorance and spiritual darkness of the world which accepts it in blasphemy against God.  The “Pope” shows himself openly as a blasphemer and antichrist, and the whole world slobbers over him in approval, exactly as they will do in respect to the antichrist who will do the same thing.]

2nd Thessalonians 2:4   “Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.”

(9)  Jesus Christ sent the Holy Ghost to take his place until he returns.

John 14:16   “And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter. . . .”

v. 26   “But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.”

15:26   “But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me. . . .”

16:7   “Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.”

!           “Vicarious Fili Dei” (literally: “takes the place of Christ”) is written in Latin on the “Pope’s” mitre, and is the official doctrine of the Catholic institution concerning the “papacy”.

Matthew 12:31   “Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men.”

Luke 12:10   “And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost it shall not be forgiven.”

(10)  Jesus Christ was sacrificed once and only once.  The “mass” is a sham and an abomination.

Hebrews 10:10   “By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.”

v. 14   “For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.”  [Is this really too complicated for you?]

vs. 16-18   “This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them; and their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.  Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.”

!           The mass is the true sacrifice again of Jesus Christ, and contained in the “transubstantiated” wafer is the body, soul, and divinity of Jesus Christ.  “Even if Christ be not predisposed to come down out of heaven to be truly sacrificed again at the moment of transubstantiation in the mass, he is compelled to do so anyway:  such is the power of the priest.”

[This phoney pagan ritual is practiced thousands of times a day in the world in the ignorant belief that thus, and so often, is Christ being truly sacrificed again.]

Hebrews 10:11-12   “And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins:  but this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God; from henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool.”

[The world will not again have the opportunity to get its hands on the Lord.]

Pre-Tribulation Rapture

“Pretribulation Rapture”

All scripture quotes are from
The Authorized King James Bible



I.   OVERVIEW (Outlined)

A)     The “pretribulation rapture” belief system is an elaborately orchestrated fraud.

1.     The concept of Christians being taken up before the tribulation is a modern invention.
a)     Prior to 1830, there is no historical record of a belief that Christians would escape the tribulation; and
b)     the factual history of pretrib development is well documented (Dave MacPherson, et al.).
2.     The notion of pretribism did not come by the Spirit of God, nor did it derive from scripture.
a)     The agenda to ensnare the churches came from the mind of Satan, and human implementation of the plan followed.
b)     The dogmas and arguments surrounding pretribism were developed by professional heretics.
3.     The shifty usage of the unscriptural word, “rapture,” a blueprint in Jesuit priestcraft, was central to the success of the scam:
a)     it is impossible to forge a prototype without simultaneously providing new vocabulary to identify it; and
b)     it was necessary to have a substitute for the word, “resurrection,” in order to supplant the first resurrection.”
i.     Pretrib wordplay usurps “resurrection” terminology for itself when convenient; but
ii.     slithers around those verses that specify when and how the true resurrection takes place.
c)     For example, proponents of pretribism typically assert that “The bible never says anything against the rapture!” – which is technically true only in the sense that the bible never says anything about “rapture” at all – yet, this argument is utterly frivolous and trivializes the diabolic scheme to destroy millions of souls.
B)     By pretending a “SECRET” event, an unlimited universe of excuses, arguments, and double-talk was made available in support of the deception – its pandering “bible experts” repeating such shockingly juvenile (and worn out) rubbish as, “The rapture couldn’t be a ‘secret’ if it was [sic] openly stated,” so it had to be “hidden in the white spaces between the words”!

C)     Pretrib theory is admitted by its proponents to be an “implied” concept that must be “inferred”; however,
1.     it is impossible that scripture implies pretribism because, if this were true, the word of God violently contradicts itself; and
2.     in order for pretribism to be inferred by anyone, he would have to be either
a)     ignorant of the great bulk of plain scripture on the subject, and simply doesn’t realize it; OR
b)     willfully blind in his handling of God’s word (2nd Cor 4:2).

D)     Pretrib arguments require personal dishonesty and extraordinary mental gymnastics:

1.     using circular logic, for example, insisting that saints in the tribulation are “just tribulation saints” who aren’tREAL saints” because “real saints won’t be in the tribulation!” (e.g., Dan 7:21 & Rev 13:5-7);
2.     inventing bizarredefinitions” of plain words to create “proof-texts” that squarely contradict even the verses from which the proof-texts are extracted; for example, claiming that falling away (from “apostasia”) means “falling away from the planet” to force Paul’s prophecy of a future global apostasy (2nd Thes 2:3) to serve as an arcane acknowledgement of a (non-existent) “secret raptureprior to the coming of the Lord;
3.     doting on pet symbolic interpretations that are plainly invalidated by doctrinally explicit verses to the contrary;
4.     crafting formulas that fly in the face of common sense, even to the point of complete absurdity; for example,
a)     pretending that day of Christ is hidden “code” language for “rapture” (Scofield, et al.), while at the same time
b)     asserting that day of the Lord is code for the great tribulation or “bad things happening,” etc. ad nauseam.
II.   THE HISTORY (in brief)

From the outset of rapture theorizing in 1830, its promoters struggled to form a coherent orthodoxy from the evolving speculations (a fluid set of contradicting heresies loosely agreed upon); and they failed.  Attempts to produce a more elegant product continued into the twentieth century in a succession of determined efforts to polish a pig’s ear, as pretrib acolytes labored to refine and justify a thing that (like “Darwinism”) could only survive in a climate of apostasy and rampant carnality.  Pretrib’s champions regularly battled for recognition and cash flow and (leaving aside whether there may have been any who “meant well”) there were no good guys in the saga of pretrib ascendency.  While early efforts to conceal pretrib’s origins were amazingly successful, the hammering out of a consistent belief system was not.  That goal is now abandoned by today’s professional clergy who simply plod on in their pretrib love affair, with no inclination whatsoever to consider its doctrinal contradictions and wretched history.

The first arguably “rapture-like” description of record is found in the late eighteenth century writings of Manuel de Lacunza:  his imaginative musings, though doctrinally vague, were (1) “post” (not pre-trib); (2) without any hint of secrecy, and (3) with no mention of imminency (i.e., “any moment” heresy).  Lacunza was a Jesuit priest who hid behind the pen-name, “Rabi Ben Ezra” – as the Jesuits themselves also wrote the absurd “Protocols of Zion” to tarnish the Jews and justify Rome’s seething hatred of Israel.  (This practice was adopted because Christians in Europe at the time refused to read any material known to be authored by Catholics.)  Lacunza’s work went un-noticed until 1827, when it was published by Edward Irving, a notorious heretic, who played a somewhat minor role in translating Lacunza’s writings into English (but took all the credit for himself).  This material was then devoured by Margaret Macdonald, a young but well read Scottish girl with whom Irving long remained in personal contact.

Borrowing the fantastical style used by Lacunza (and with her girlish imagination and thinly veiled pride at full throttle), Macdonald began to envision all manner of exciting new things, including the truly original notion of connecting one shall be taken (of Mt 24:40) with the novelty of a pretrib, partial rapture.  By 1830, Macdonald was eagerly preaching her fantasy – with the Lord coming “to the air” – as though it were a revelation given to her in a grand “vision”; but (like Lacunza) never alluding to any hint of either secrecy or imminency.  (It was apparently not yet realized that this bonanza had limited retail potential without these elements.)  Edward Irving to the rescue:  not only was Irving the first notable minister to publically recognize Macdonald as the first to teach pretrib; but in 1832 he, himself, added the essential secrecy component to the soaring invention (with the heretical notion of imminency being adopted still later).  Macdonald was ignored in Scotland due to her infamy as a partaker of the occult, yet, in England, in a classic example of strange bedfellows, the public was saturated with her pretrib concept through the unprecedented co-operation of British newspaper publishers who obligingly never revealed their source!  (This complicity was strikingly similar to the launching of Billy Graham’s over-night popularity in the U.S. by the Hearst-Luce (Knights of Malta) syndicated press, which “puffed” Graham, a covert agent of the Jesuits, to establish him as Rome’s ecumenical poster boy who would effectively erase fourteen hundred years of dark ages from the collective memory of nominal Protestants.)

As rapture development waxed increasingly deceitful in its desperate wresting of scripture – and with contemporary Christians largely decrying the bizarre interpretations and circuitous logic behind it as the work of devils – the charmed theory nonetheless spread like wild fire.  Satan’s pretrib agenda was mainstreamed by the arch-villain, John Nelson Darby (the darling of the religious establishment and news media) who published numerous “dispensational” heresies and “Israel/Church dichotomy” theories that neatly provided for all doctrinally inconvenient scripture to be ignored as “written to the Jews” (e.g., “If ye love me, keep my commandments – Jn 14:15).  A zealously outspoken “post-trib” dispensationalist until 1834, Darby quickly “saw the light” (financially speaking) and then plagiarized the work of others, altered documents, and revised history in trying to peddle the pretrib rapture as his own creation.  (Like the “Jehovah’s Witnesses,” Darby had his own corrupt bible version published to legitimize his favorite heresies.)  Darby’s ungainly arguments were rife with internal contradictions, yet they were eagerly swept up by doctrinally feeble churches; and today, this foul fruit is embraced by numerous denominations as absolutely “fundamental to the faith!”

For the rapture deception to take hold in the U.S. the churches first had to be doctrinally and spiritually compromised – a goal greatly achieved through the (so-called) “entrepreneur,” Andrew Carnegie, a Luciferian puppet and bag-man for his fellow globalists (like today’s George Soros).  Carnegie transformed large mainstream churches by bribing their greedy, naive, and ignorant pastors with “free” offers of magnificent cathedral organs in exchange for willingly trading away the Constitutional autonomy of “the body of Christ by “incorporating” their churches under the sovereignty of the state.  This structural entanglement spread like cancer and served as the trendy foundation of America’s expanding apostasy.  The hybrid “state churches” quickly forsook sound doctrine and the beloved King James Bible in favor of competing theories from “evolution” and “new versions” of the bible – all largely orchestrated through the intrigues of the Jesuits and their friends, most notably, occultists Westcott and Hort.  In 1954, through the diabolic genius of Lyndon Baines Johnson’s offer of “501c3tax exempt status in exchange for their freedom of speech, these already debased religious institutions, now under the advice of lawyers (Luke 11:52), were further led to seek the leaven of “federal standing,” thereby continuing in their path of denominational hypocrisy (Mt 6:24).  Today, these dens of iniquity reject the authority of scripture entirely; denying even their own “preferred versions of the bible” in deference to Rome and the obligatory considerations of “social justice,” sexual perversion, science falsely so called (1st Tim 6:20), and pretrib rapture.

Thus, America’s mainline denominational churches became camouflaged corporate business enterprises, with pastors and deacons presiding as CEOs and board members over houses of religious prostitution.  Amid this debauchery, Cyrus Ingerson Scofield, a conniving reprobate with Luciferian connections – and with remarkable assistance from elitist newspaper editors of distinctly satanic secret society membership – adopted and published Darby’s plagiarized pretrib dogmas, and shamelessly injected his toxic corruptions directly into the text of the King James Bible as the so-called “Scofield Reference Bible.”  By this treachery, Scofield systematically twisted and contradicted every passage of the bible dealing with the timing and nature of the REAL first resurrection.”  This hugely successful strategy left a spiritual paralysis across the American landscape, with Scofield’s “notes” blindly read in the churches and seminaries as though they were the gospel, itself.  Today, a drunken residue of evangelical Christianity – bewitched under an avalanche of propaganda issuing from radio, television, movies, books, false bibles, false churches, the internet, and Jesuit infiltrated seminaries – now widely claim the rapture as their blessed hope,” and rabidly refuse to be talked out of it.  The ongoing wickedness behind this diabolical war has taken place under the treasonous watch of well-paid false pastors who personally attack anyone standing for the truth in this matter.

2nd Peter 2:1-2   “. . . there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies. . . .  And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.”

III.   RELEVANT SCRIPTURE (in brief)

1st Corinthians 15:51-52   “Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump:  for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we [that is, WE who are still alive] shall be changed.”

OBSERVE that this last trump resurrection takes place at the last day.”
John 6:39   “And this is the Father’s will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.”
v. 40   “And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life:  and I will raise him up at the last day.”
v. 44   “No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.”

1st Corinthians 15:22-24   “But every man in his own order:  Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ’s at his coming.”

This is not a “secret rapture” BEFORE the tribulation, but the scripturally promised “resurrection” at the last day, at the last trump, “AT” the Lord’s triumphant return to earth!

v. 24   “Then cometh the end. . . .”

The deceived pretribber complains:  “You’re trying to take away my blessed hope!”
No, you believe in a false hope, and you absolutely refuse the REALblessed hope” plainly described in the bible.

Titus 2:13   Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ. . . .”

Consider the irony in the fact that proponents of a false hope (a secret rapture in which the Lord “DOESN’T APPEAR”) are forced to approach Titus 2:13 (the only place in scripture where the term, blessed hope,” is found), to commandeer this term, “blessed hope,” that specifically takes place at the Lord’s glorious appearing!
Whereas Cyrus Scofield boldly contradicted the bible and claimed it to be mistranslated, the bible exposes him as a lying serpent (2nd Thes 2:1-4; Mt 23:33) – who methodically corrupted fundamental biblical doctrine with his devilish “rules for understanding” now regurgitated in lockstep by a cult of mindless followers still insisting that:
A)     day of Christ is code language for the rapture, and
B)     day of the Lord is code for great tribulation (or) God’s wrath,” (or) “bad things happening.”
This unsupportable hogwash is the result of outrageous wresting of scripture, and would not have survived five minutes of scrutiny except that millions of carnal Christians desperately wanted this nonsense to be true.

NOTICE:  The glaring problem with Scofield’s transmutation of these two terms is that there are many more than just the two he selected – all of which refer to the same singular day of the Lord’s glorious return to this planet:

  1.     that great and notable day of the Lord (Acts 2:20),
  2.     that great day of God Almighty (Rev 16:14),
  3. +  the day of Christ (Philip 1:10; 2:16; 2nd Thes 2:2) (3 uses in the NT),
  4.     the day of God (2nd Peter 3:12),
  5.     the day of Jesus Christ (Philip 1:6),
  6.     the day of our Lord Jesus Christ (1st Cor 1:8),
  7.     the day of the LORD (Zeph 1:14; Isaiah 13:6,9; Ezek 13:5; 30:3; etc.) (used 15 times in the OT),
  8. +  the day of the Lord (1st Thes 5:2; 2nd Peter 3:10) (2 uses in the NT),
  9.     the day of the LORD of hosts (Isaiah 2:12),
10.     the day of the Lord GOD of hosts (Jer 46:10),
11.     the day of the Lord Jesus (1st Cor 5:5),
12.     the day of the LORD’s anger (Lam 2:22; Zeph 2:2,3) (3 uses in the OT),
13.     the day of the LORD’s sacrifice (Zeph 1:8),
14.     the day of the LORD’s vengeance (Isaiah 34:8),
15.     the day of the LORD’s wrath (Zeph 1:18),
16.     the day of vengeance of our God (Isaiah 61:2),
17.     the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God (Rom 2:5),
18.     the day when the Son of man is revealed (Luke 17:30),
19.     the great and dreadful day of the LORD (Mal 4:5),
20.     the great and the terrible day of the LORD (Joel 2:31),
21.     the great day of his wrath [of the Lamb] (v. 16) (Rev 6:17),
22.     the great day of the LORD (Zeph 1:14),
23.     the Lord’s day (Rev 1:10).
REALITY CHECK:  We are faced with two possible conclusions:  either we have twenty three different days  OR  we have twenty three different terms describing ONE day.  It is insanity to follow Scofield in pretending that we have TWO days!

CONSIDER the following questions in regard to obvious conclusions that should be drawn from the above list.

A)     As there are more than 350 biblical names of Jesus Christ, does that prove there are 350 different “Lords”?
B)     If it’s true, as claimed by pretribbers, that the day of Christ is different from the day of the Lord; is it also true that “the day of Jesus Christ is different from the day of the Lord Jesus?
C)     Does Paul’s use of the day of Christ indicate a different day than when he uses the day of Jesus Christ?
D)     Is the day of the LORD’s vengeance not the same day as the day of vengeance of our God?
E)     Is the great day of the LORD not the same day as that great day of God Almighty? (etc.).
F)     How can day of the Lord mean “great tribulation,” while at the same time the Lord’s day means “Sunday”?
G)     Why do Christians adopt the absurd claims of reprobate popes (Romish or otherwise) in perverting scripture?
ANSWER:  2nd Timothy 4:3-4   “For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; and they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.”
EXACTLY!  That time has come, and the fallout from the deception is horrendous.

CONSIDER just one example among many devilish “notes” in the “Scofield Reference Bible,” a brazen attack on 2nd Thes, 2:2 concerning the resurrection of the saints, wherein Scofield flatly pronounces the King James Bible to be “unfortunately” mistranslated, and with savage ferocity then turns the passage upside down and butchers it beyond recognition:

        Theme.  The theme of Second Thessalonians is, unfortunately, obscured by a mistranslation in the A.V. of 2. 2, where “day of Christ is at hand” (1 Cor. 1. 8 note) should be, “day of the LORD is now present” (Isa. 2. 12, refs.).  The Thessalonian converts were “shaken in mind” and “troubled,” supposing, perhaps on the authority of a forged letter as from Paul, that the persecutions from which they were suffering were those of the “great and terrible day of the Lord,” from which they had been taught to expect deliverance by “the day of Christ, and our gathering together unto him” (2. 1).  The present letter, then, was written to instruct the Thessalonians concerning the day of Christ, “and our gathering together unto him” (1 Thes. 4. 14-17) and the relation of the “day of Christ” to the “day of the LORD.”  First Thessalonians had more in view the “day of Christ”; the present Epistle the “day of the LORD.” [emphasis added Scofield Reference Bible, 1917, Oxford University Press, Am. Branch]

The Machiavellian perversity of this paragraph should infuriate any Christian who reads it.  The King James Bible obscures NOTHING!  Scofield was a beguiling monster whose singular goal was to legitimize pretrib rapture dogmas by fabricating out of thin air an illusory instrumentality in day of Christ as signifying “the rapture” – which Scofield arbitrarily separated from day of the Lord (as representing something sinister that the saints would ostensibly confuse with persecution from their enemies!).  This imposture is blatant fraud and was perpetrated by a wholesale wresting of scripture.  By this utterly unsupported and unsupportable assertion, Scofield lays the groundwork for two false definitions of two terms – both of which in plain truth are merely two terms for the same day, thereby fabricating a false rapture promoted as occurring BEFORE the first resurrection.”  Scofield simply separates “the day of Christ from “the day of the Lord (1) as though these were TWO days, not one and the same; (2) as though neither term referred to an actual day; and (3) as though the Lord and Christ were not simply two titles of the Lord Jesus Christ (a title used 27 times in the New Testament).  The success of Scofield and many others in this deception required the biblical ignorance of gullible Christians led by legions of false pastors stampeding over each other in their blind rush to serve the devil’s agenda! (1st Tim 6:10).

2nd Thessalonians 2:1-4   “Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, that ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand [i.e., “at any moment”].  Let no man deceive you by any means:  for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.”

OBSERVE four truths in regard to 2nd Thessalonians 2:1-13:

1)     our gathering together unto him takes place at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ (v. 1);
2)     these two events are tied together by Paul as occuring on the day of Christ (v. 2);
3)     Paul, in using this term, refers to that one and very same day as does also Amos, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Joel, John, Luke, Malachi, Obadiah, Peter, Solomon, and Zephaniah in the above list of 23 terms, a consistently prominent biblical theme; and
4)     Paul’s prophecy provides the exact order of events as they will occur, and begins by begging you to NOT let anyone deceive you by any means concerning this, which is EXACTLY what Scofield and his friends have accomplished by preempting the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ” with a non-existent secret pretrib rapture at which the Lord “doesn’t come down.”  Paul could not have warned about this deception more clearly!  The true resurrection and our gathering together unto him,” will NOT take place until there is “a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed.”

1st Thessalonians 4:13-18   “But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.  For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him [meaning “UP into the clouds with him”; NOTDOWN from heaven with him”].  For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.  For [1] the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, [2] with the voice of the archangel, and [3] with the trump of God:  and [4] the dead in Christ shall rise first:  then [5] we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air:  and so shall we ever be with the Lord.  Wherefore comfort one another with these words” [not the lies of pretribism].

FRAUD WARNING:   At this point, pretribbers lift verse 14 from its resurrection context to adapt a tiny portion of Paul’s message to their rapture agenda (while ignoring the rest of the passage that makes clear this is the glorious last trump resurrection on the Lord’s day – NOT a sneaky, secret, pretrib event!   Incredibly, pretribbers insist this is where their “dead saints” come “down with the Lord from heaven” silently and unnoticed; where Paul specifically describes the dead in Christ” as being RAISED, with the shouting of an archangel and the trump of God.”  (Pretrib “bible experts” can literally fill an entire college blackboard with a gnarled tangle of arrows trying to explain their tortured fabrication as reality.)

A)     When 1st Thes 4:13-18 is read in its entirety, rather than cherry-picked out of context, everything is perfectly clear.
B)     There is an ORDER here that is uncomplicated and easy to understand which pretribbers simply ignore; and
C)     the comprehensive clarity of this passage is the reason Scofield was forced to to claim Paul was mistranslated.

OBSERVE the order of each specific event in its turn:

A)     the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout (1st Thes 4:16);
1.     the Lord himself descends (and there are NO raptured saints with him) (v. 16);
2.     “with a shout (He isn’t tippy-toeing in sneakily – but with a warrior’s cry – and still NO saints) (v. 16);
B)     “with the voice of the archangel (another warrior cry – and still no saints) (v. 16);
C)     “and with the trump of God” (the official announcement of war – and still no saints) (v. 16);
D)     and THEN:  the dead in Christ . . . rise” [NOTdescend”] (v. 16);
1.     they are NOT “coming down from heaven with the Lord” (v. 16) but rather;
2.     they rise first (v. 16), immediately BEFORE those who are alive and remain” (v. 17);
3.     all these dead in Christ all rise from their graves in the same hour (John 5:28);
4.     which is all described in one place and in one verse, 1st Cor 15:52:
1st Corinthians 15:52   In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump:  for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.”
John 5:28   “for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice. . . .”

NOTICE:  all that are in the graves” (present tense) shall hear his voice” (future tense) in the same hour,” and therefore do NOT “go to be with the Lord” when they die – a claim that is nothing but religious fraud.

CONSIDER the pretrib strategy.  By focusing only on verse 14 in 1st Thessalonians 4, the words bring with him” are forced to mean “bring down from heaven with him” (rather than bring from the grave with him) under the false theory that “they’re already up there with him!”; and with this trickery, the whole thrust of a six verse passage is corrupted and reduced to a doctrine that declares exactly the opposite of what the passage clearly states:

A)     “them which are asleep,” (1st Thes 4:13) is a metaphor referring to those who are dead (see Jn 11:11-14).
NOTE:  Those who “sleep” in the Lord are dead, and do NOTcome down from heaven at the rapture”; but are raised up at the last day (John 6:40) from the dead.
John 11:11-14   “Our friend Lazarus sleepeth; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep.  . . .  [The disciples did not understand this.]  Howbeit Jesus spake of his death:  but they thought that he had spoken of taking of rest in sleep.  Then said Jesus unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead.”
B)     “them also which sleep in Jesus” (1st Thes 4:14) is a metaphor referring to all Christians who are dead,
C)     “them which are asleep (1st Thes 4:15) is a metaphor referring to all dead Christians who in the future are raised from the grave on the same occasion as the remnant who “are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord.”

NOTICE that whereas 2nd Thessalonians 2:1-4 makes clear the order of events coming BEFORE the resurrection, the language in 1st Thessalonians 4:13-18 makes clear the order of events occurring ON the day of resurrection.  These two passages together absolutely prevent any inference of a pretrib rapture, and also make it impossible to infer any “secret” or “sneaky” or “unobserved” event otherwise.  This is the great and dreadful day of the LORD (Malachi 4:5).

Jeremiah 25:30-33 (v. 30)   “. . . The Lord . . . shall give a shout, as they that tread the grapes. . . .”
Revelation 14:18-20   “. . . and blood came out of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles. . . .”
19:15   “. . . and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.”
In ONE day, “at the last day,” the Lord raises his elect from the Earth, and then vents his wrath against the wicked in a great slaughter – all on “the Lord’s day.”  (See Eph 4:26 for insight on the limiting of our wrath to 24 hours.)

IV.   THE GREAT TRIBULATION under antichrist
(the time of Satan’s unrestrained wrath against mankind)

Daniel 7:21   “I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them. . . .”

Revelation 13:5-7   “. . . power was given unto [the beast] . . . to make war with the saints, and to overcome them. . . .”

A)     Here, pretribbers simply insist that these verses do NOT include themselves;
B)     and are typically quick with an arsenal of witty suggestions to explain away the identity of these saints:
1.     “Who knows?  It could be anybody EXCEPT the church.  [Really?]
This argument is foolish, unscriptural, and absurd.
2.     “It might be the Jews.
Corrupt affections may be showing a little here, and scripture forbids this belief:
1st Corinthians 12:13   “For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.”
3.     “They could be people who aren’t special like we are.”
But that won’t work either because “God is no respecter of persons . . .” (Acts 10:34).
4.     “That verse [(Daniel 7:21)] doesn’t matter because it’s old testament
John Darby, a professional deceiver and Jesuit tool, led the way in popularizing this twisted thinking.
5.     “[Revelation 13:5-7] . . . only refers to ‘tribulation saints.”’
It’s true, of course, that you can label these as “tribulation saints” if you like, but that doesn’t change the fact that they are still saints IN the tribulation! – and WHY can’t you SEE that what you say is true when you seem to understand it perfectly?
QUESTION:  What is a “tribulation saint”?
CORRECT ANSWER:  “A saint who is IN the tribulation.”
The impasse here for pretribbers is circuitously overcome (they think) through private interpretation,” by slickly defining a “tribulation saint” as NOT including any “new testament saint” who’s now reading the new testament!
2nd Peter 1:20   “Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.”

Mark 13:24-27   “But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in heaven shall be shaken.  And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory.  And then shall he send his angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven.”

Revelation 1:7   “Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him. . . .”
When pretribbers are forced to deal with Mark 13, they ignore everything in it except for the last part of verse 27, placing emphasis on “to the uttermost part of heaven while pretending that “heaven” in this verse refers to “the third heaven” (or kingdom of heaven”) rather than firmament of heaven” as made clear by the term, “four winds.”
Genesis 1:14-20   “And God said, Let the . . . fowl . . . fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.”
Pretribbers universally claim that the elect in Mark 13:27 were “previously raised up at their death and then later come back DOWN to join the Lord at the rapture”; as opposed to being raised according to scripture at the last trump (1st Cor 15:52) “at the last day (Jn 6:39, 40, 44, 54), on the Lord’s day” (see Rev 1:10 for reference).
NOTE:  concerning Revelation 1:10, John was taken “in the Spirit” to the future to actually see that great and notable day of the Lord (Acts 2:20; Rev 16:14); a declaration by John that is NOT an off-hand reference to “Sunday,” as claimed by Rome.

Revelation 13:4-8   “And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him [the beast (from v. 4)], whose names are not written in the book of life. . . .”

OBSERVE that those who are in the book of life and do not worship the beast are still upon the earth.”
THINK:  Why is the exception given here (in the second half of the sentence), if those whose names ARE written in the book of life do NOT dwell upon the earth?  This cannot be interpreted as Christians IN HEAVEN who are NOT taking “the mark of the beast”; because if that were true, the verse would simply state:  “And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him [period] – and there wouldn’t be any exceptions!

v. 9   If any man have an ear, let him hear.”

This was stated so that you would pay attention to verse 8 and receive the prophecy, instead of foolishly dismissing it with a great bluster of mindless prevarication!  The purpose of the prophecy is to warn you concerning the coming great evil, so that you will understand and prevail in the Lord!

Matthew 24:12   “And because iniquity shall abound [in the great tribulation (v. 21)], the love of many shall wax cold.”

This is the falling away of the foolish, as described by Paul in 2nd Thessalonians 2:3, who are even now deceived by Satan.

Matthew 24:20-22   “But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:  for then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.  And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved:  but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened.”

THINK:  Why would the Lord shorten the days of tribulation for the elect’s sake if they were NOT in the tribulation?
Satan has ensnared the churches with rebellious lies that are staggeringly obvious in their bitter fruit; for example:
A)     claiming that the phrase, for the elect’s sake,” in the verse above “does NOT refer to Christians”; and that
B)     the sabbath day and the commandments are “done away with, so the tribulation doesn’t apply to us”!
Revelation 12:17   “And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.”
Revelation 14:6-12   “Here is the patience of the saints:  here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.”
NOTICE that a faithful and patient few [1] still dwell on the earth (Rev 14:6), [2] are in the tribulation (v. 9), [3] keep the commandments (v. 12), [4] keep the faith of Jesus Christ (v. 12), and [5] are called saints (v. 12); yet pretribbers insist these saints cannot be Christians BECAUSE they keep the commandments!, and therefore must be some form of delinquent Jewish converts “who came to the Lord too late to make the rapture.”  (This is the universal pretrib explanation!)

Matthew 24:29-31   “Immediately  *** after ***  the tribulation of those days . . . they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.  And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.”

Luke 3:4-7   “. . . And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.”

There is nothing secret, sneaky, or “pre” here!

V.   LIES, IGNORANCE, MISQUOTATION,
FALSE ARGUMENT, & FRAUD (the Short List)

A)     The Lord promised to take us out of the world before anything bad happens.”  [This is the carnal pretrib fantasy.]

No, the Lord did not promise that.  This is a lie told by those who do not hold the bible in high regard.  Children believe in Santa Claus because they WANT to believe their lying parents, just as lazy adults believe the rapture propaganda of their“hireling” pastors; but the Lord is not to blame for the ignorance or deceitfulness of either.
John 17:15   I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.”
Revelation 2:10   “Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer:  behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days:  be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.”

B)     The ‘tribulation’ is the wrath of God against his enemies.”

NO!  The tribulation is the time of Satan’s unrestrained wrath against all “flesh” on earth (Mt 24:22).
Revelation 12:12   “. . . for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath . . .” [as it was from the beginning].
As it was also in Job’s day, when the Lord permitted Satan to unmercifully attack Job and his family (Job 1:6 – 2:10), so Satan in the last days will be allowed to vent his fury against mankind – and he will have an extremely wicked world at his disposal to help him (2nd Tim 3:1-3) – yet the faithful (as Job) will patiently endure it, even to the death! (Rev 12:11).
John 15:18-20   “. . . because ye are not of the world . . . the world hateth you . . . If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you. . . .”
You may not consider this good news, but you must accept that the Lord has told you the truth:  the last days will be as it was for Lot in Sodom – surrounded by unimaginable evil.  (See Genesis 19:1-11.)
Luke 17:28-30   “. . . as it was in the days of Lot . . . thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.”
2nd Timothy 3:1-3   “. . . in the last days perilous times shall come.  For men shall be . . . unholy, without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good. . . .”

C)     A loving God wouldn’t allow his people to go through tribulation.”

1.     This devilish lie is a multi-pronged dagger designed to ensnare and destroy the believer by falsely implying that
a)     it would be WRONG of God to expect anyone to endure the tribulation; and that
b)     IF God DID ALLOW us to go through tribulation, then he is NOT “a loving God”; and that
c)     God is ALREADY wrong for allowing horrendous Christian persecution throughout history.
2.     When the pretribber finds himself being coerced to take Satan’s mark, he will tell himself one of two things:
a)     that it can’t be “the mark” (Rev 13:17; 14:11) because “we won’t be here for that!” – and then, thinking it a mere economic convenience, he will accept it (Rev 16:2); OR he will assume
b)     that he “missed the rapture!” and therefore the Lord has abandoned him; and
i.     in shock and resentment, he will conclude that there isn’t any choice but to “worship the beast”; and
ii.     will quickly join the global mob in worshiping Satan, exactly as warned against by God! (See Rev 14:9-11).
Revelation 13:4   “And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast:  and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?”
Will this be you?
3.     Pretribbers wrest Romans 5:9 by lifting wrath from its context of God’s wrath to redefine it as tribulation; thus grotesquely transforming we shall be saved from wrath into “We shall be saved from tribulation!” – and whereas the Lord greatly warned of the tribulation, pretribbers jump up and down in a childish pretense of “rapture exercises.”
Revelation 12:11   “And they overcame him [“the devil”] by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.”
4.     REALITY CHECK:  Three things need to be understood here concerning the pretrib perversion of Romans 5:9.
Romans 5:9   “Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.”
a)     “Wrath” does NOT mean “tribulation”:  wrath means wrath – which is God’s wrath against his enemies:
Ephesians 5:5-8 (6)   “. . . because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.”
Colossians 3:5-8 (6)   “Let no man deceive you with vain words:  for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.”
b)     The “wrath” from which we shall be saved” is God’s wrath, which is why Christians say, “We got saved.”
NOTE:  The tribulation is Satan’s unrestrained wrath:  the Lord’s wrath is reserved for the last day.”
c)     The context for the wrath of Romans 5:9 is given by verses 10 and 11 (which is simply ignored by pretribbers):
Romans 5:10-11   “For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life . . . by whom we have now received the atonement
By the Lord’s work, the wrath of God is no longer upon us; yet Satan’s wrath against us is all the greater.
5.     False pastors lie to their carnal flocks that “A loving God would not let us suffer in tribulation!” – when, in truth, all out WAR is being prosecuted (Rev 12:17), and Satan knows full well that he will soon have the whole world in his grip:
1st Thessalonians 3:4   “For verily, when we were with you, we told you before that we should suffer tribulation; even as it came to pass, and ye know.”
Romans 8:17   “And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.”
Philippians 1:29   “For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ . . . to suffer for his sake. . . .”
2nd Timothy 2:12   If we suffer, we shall also reign with him:  if we deny him, he also will deny us. . . .”
Psalm 44:22   “. . . for thy sake . . . we are counted as sheep for the slaughter.”

D)   To be absent from the body IS to be present with the Lord.”

Wrong!  This is an utter corruption of 2nd Cor 5:8.  Satan’s thugs assert this falsehood as though it came from scripture, but it did not.  The fraud is perpetrated by leaving out the first half of the verse and mangling the remainder; specifically, leaving out the comma and substituting is for and; thus altering the verse to force a time element that is not there!  What Paul said is a perfect characterization of sound doctrine, but this perversion of it is false and satanic to its core.
2nd Corinthians 5:8   “We are . . . willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord”
Nonetheless, because the dead person is not aware of the passing of time, his resurrection from the grave, from his perspective, will seemingly occur immediately after his death, regardless of the actual time span in between as observed by those still alive:
Acts 2:29-34   “. . . let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried . . . [and] is not ascended into the heavens. . . .”  
Modern Christians simply imagine themselves to be more important than King David.
Psalm 104:29   “. . . thou takest away their breath, they die, and return to their dust.”
Psalm 146:3-4   “. . . in that very day his thoughts perish.”
No, Virginia, the “dear departed” has NOTgone on to be with the Lord,” regardless of statements to that effect by religious deceivers at “grave side services” (Mat 8:22).  Legions of false shepherds brandish allegorical passages out of their allegorical context in trying to refute and contradict plain doctrinal statements addressing the factual nature of physical death – which (not coincidentally) results in yet another perversion that neatly accommodates the pretrib fraud.

E)     The Lord’s coming ‘as a thief in the night’ proves he won’t be noticed when he gets here.”

NO, the bible does not by any means indicate that the Lord’s coming will be “secretive” (or that he won’t be “noticed”); but reveals that an ignorant and faithless human race – neither expecting that, nor knowing when and how, the Lord will appear – will be shocked at his coming, as when a man awakes in the middle of the night with a burglar in his bedroom.
1.     The world’s atheists are not expecting the Lord at all (as they intensely hope);
2.     pretribbers expect the Lord too soon (“before any thing bad happens”), and will quickly “fall away” in the tribulation; and
3.     corporate amillennial hypocrites (if expecting anything) imagine a polished politician from hell declaring his approval of their having resurrected and institutionalized the abominations of Sodom and Gomorrah.
4.     Most of the religious world (and many professing Christians) expect their god to return for the purpose of exterminating the Jews, and become quite irritated even now when faced with Jesus Christ as “the Lion of the tribe of Juda (Rev 5:5).
5.     The Lord’s day will indeed come as a thief to the world; but the Lord will not surprise the faithful by coming sooner than they hope; rather, he will come later than pretribbers demand, who are terribly deceived in their thinking.
a)     The “thief” passages (1st Thes 5:2; 2nd Ptr 3:10; and Rev 3:3) are open indictments against today’s raging apostasy;
b)     and are directed as personal warnings to half-baked Christians who fail to see the seriousness of their infidelity.
6.     The broad thrust of scripture emphasizes the need for patience and the willingness to go the distance.
Matthew 24:13   “But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved” (also Mark 13:13).
7.     Scripture admonishes the wise to be mentally and spiritually prepared to wait longer than the foolish think:
Read Matthew 25:1-13:  “They that were foolish . . . took no oil with them. . . .”
a)     The foolish expect the groom to come SOONER than he, in fact, will; and
b)     when the time of great evil comes, pretribbers (who may indeed be “ready for the rapture”) will certainly NOT be ready to die for the Lord’s sake (Lk 9:24 & Rev 12:11) – a future scenario which they even now reject as unthinkable!
1st Thessalonians 5:2   “For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord [NOT “the day of Christ] so cometh as a thief in the night.”
Again we see the fraud of Scofield’s con game completely exposed.
2nd Peter 3:10   “But the day of the Lord [NOT“the day of Christ] will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.”
NOTICE:  The language of 2nd Peter 3:10 removes any possibility that the Lord’s coming will not be noticed – and it is mindlessly silly to think the Lord of glory would sneak in “secretly” to destroy the planet.
OBSERVE:  If it were true that “day of the Lord” is a mistranslation in 2nd Thessalonians 2:2 (as claimed by Scofield) – then Paul’s words are also wrong in 1st Thessalonians 5:2 and Peter’s words are wrong in 2nd Peter 3:10.
NOTE:  You will certainly judge between two things:  either the bible is “mistranslated” or Scofield was a lying snake.  (If you think you can refuse to decide this issue, you’ve already decided – and you got it wrong.)

F)     The term, ‘falling away’ [in 2nd Thessalonians 2:3] refers to ‘falling away from the Earth’ in the rapture.”

No, this outrageous wresting of scripture attempts to reverse the intent of the passage by interpreting falling away to indicate evidence of “falling off the world” in “a secret rapture” (before the tribulation), and forces the passage to an absurdity!
1.     This grotesque handling of the word of God is outward evidence of
a)     the devilish source behind the whole pretrib theory, and
b)     demonstrates the personal DESPERATION of pretribbers in their desire to deceive themselves and others.
2.     Those who take part in this wresting of scripture
a)     are immune to the rationality and harmony of the bible, and
b)     are spiritually programed to ignore the great volume of the Lord’s warnings!
3.     The words, “falling away,” are derived from “apostasia” (apostasy) which is “a falling away from the truth”!
a)     An “apostate” is a person who once stood on the truth, but fell away from it later; as compared to someone who never knew the truth in the first place.  (See 2nd Ptr 3:10-17; Mat 24:12; & Luke 8:1-15 for insight.)
b)     The pretrib deception is furthered by the devilish “Once Saved Always Saved” doctrine which teaches that “It’s impossible to fall away, even if you wanted to,” thus protecting the absurd belief that “falling away” in this passage cannot mean falling away from Christ – when, in fact, that’s exactly what it “means”!
4.     The bible clearly reveals that one CAN “fall away” and clearly defines the words, “fall away”:
Luke 8:13   “They on the rock are they, which, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, which for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away.”
Hebrews 6:4-6   “For it is impossible . . . if they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.”
a)     This does NOT state that “it is impossible to fall away,” as claimed by Scofield; rather,
b)     that if they shall fall away,” it is impossible . . . to renew them again unto repentance. . . .”
c)     The thing that is impossible is to renew them again IF they fall away.”
5.     Among those who WILL “fall away” are the pretribbers who EXPECTED to be “raptured out before the tribulation,” although they were plainly warned to the contrary!  When the rapture doesn’t take place, they will be overwhelmed by the horror, which is exactly the purpose behind the pretrib hoax:  it is a setup for a fall:
Matthew 16:25   “For whosoever will save his life shall lose it . . .” (also Mk 8:35; Lk 9:24; & 17:33).

G)     The ‘one taken [one shall be taken of Mt 24:40] describes a Christian being raptured.”

No, this is merely the claimed assumption of Margaret Macdonald in 1830, who ignorantly disregarded that the Lord was responding to his disciples’ specific questions in verses 1-4, which the Lord plainly answered:
Matthew 24:1-4 (3)   “And . . . the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, [1] when shall these things be? and [2] what shall be the sign of thy coming, and [3] of the end of the world?”
1.     None of these questions is answered by the revelation of an “any-moment, secret, pretrib rapture.”
2.     The question, When shall these things be?,” is answered by Matthew 24:4-36; and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?” is answered by verses 37-44.
Matthew 24:40   “Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.”
3.     The context for this verse is the previous three verses (37-39), as in the days . . . before the flood”; and verse 40 answers the questions:  what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?
See also Luke 17:34   “I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left.”
The context for this verse is in the surrounding verses, Luke 17:33 & vs. 35-37.
4.     The notion of a secret rapture is nowhere in scripture; and the real issue (in Mt 24:40) is “Who is doing the taking?”!
5.     The word, taken,” in its context (Mt 24:40) implies something much more obvious and sinister than a “rapture.”
NOTICE what the Lord said to Peter in John 21:19, when “signifying by what death he should glorify God.”
John 21:15-19 (v. 18)   “Verily, verily, I say unto thee, When thou wast young, thou girdedst thyself, and walkedst whither thou wouldest:  but when thou shalt be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another shall gird thee, and carry thee whither thou wouldest not [alluding to the place of his gruesome death].
OBSERVE:  [1] Peter was taken; [2] but NOT by the Lord, and [3] he was taken away, in fact, to be martyred!
6.     It never occurs to blind pretribbers that the one taken (a Christian in the tribulation) is taken by a death squad to be executed because he doesn’t have Satan’s mark (the mark of the beast), that is plainly described in scriptue (Rev 20:4).
NOTE #1:  The context of the Matthew 24 passage cannot be simply ignored as pretribbers do routinely.  This Satanic methodology not only rejects all relevant passages perceived to be inconvenient to the pretrib theory; but consistently stoops to absurd “interpretations” of unrelated verses that must be further wrested to obscure the plain truth.
NOTE #2:  Matthew 24 and Luke 17 are the Lord’s warnings to the last generation, inextricably linked to the Lord’s coming at a time of great evil at “the end of the world,” exactly as it was when Israel was delivered from Egypt.  When we see the world becoming horribly evil, the day of resurrection is close, with Satan's unfettered reign of death even closer.
Matthew 24:9   “Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you:  and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake.”
John 15:20   “Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord.  If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also.”

H)     The rapture has to be a secret!”

Of course it does:  the “secrecy” claim is the only thing protecting the blatant fraud against serious examination.
1.     THE REAL QUESTION that should be asked is, “WHY does it have to be a secret?”
a)     Pretribbers will NEVER answer this question (and cannot do so) for two reasons:
i.     there IS no purpose for the secrecy claim except as a pretense and a cover to explain why pretribism is NOT found in the bible; but that can’t be admitted without giving away the farm.
ii.     At the outset of pretrib conjecturing, sensible Christians questioned the new theory on the basis that “It isn’t in the bible.”  The secrecy concept was contrived in a desperate attempt to provide a response as to WHY it’s not there; but pretribbers know nothing about the history of their beliefs, and prefer not to look into it.
b)     The sneaky and “unobserved” elements are merely distractions from the implausible lunacy of the pretrib delusion otherwise – and the naked claim of secrecy still does not answer the question, “WHY must it be a secret?”
2.     It is ridiculous for bible believing Christians to accept this fantasy of a “secret” rapture.
a)     The Lord clearly did NOT try to hide the real “resurrection,” which is a major theme throughout the bible.
b)     There is no reason to be imagined for a heavenly HINTING of a SECRET rapture.
c)     The Lord obviously intends for us to understand the resurrection issue, and doctrine on the subject abounds.
3.     If the Lord really wanted us to believe in an “any-moment rapture,” then
a)     he could have simply told us about it, but he didn’t;
b)     and, to the contrary, he specifically warned us AGAINST this deception, for example:
2nd Thessalonians 2:1-4   Let no man deceive you by any means:  for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition. . . .”
4.     Claiming the element of secrecy in support of the rapture fraud only serves to
a)     substitute confident BELIEF in God’s word with emotional excitement on the part of those
b)     not content with the revealed first resurrection” (Rev 20:4-6) on the last day (Jn 6:39,40,44,54).
i.     The Lord’s day is a preponderant and gloriously elevated theme throughout the bible,
ii.     it is clearly and repeatedly described in detail, and
iii.     preempting this day and obscuring its glory does nothing but advance the agenda of Satan.

I)     The sabbath day is done away with!” The commandments are done away with!” and We don’t keep them!”

This is the chosen formula for pretribbers to justify themselves in their proud folly rather than consider their untenable position.
2nd Thessalonians 2:10-13   “And . . . because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved . . . God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie. . . .”
CONSIDER THIS:  You claim that you’re NOT among the saints (a term used 95 times in the bible) because “the saints,” as revealed by scripture, will suffer persecution and death at the hands of wicked men (Ps 79:2; 116:15; Dan 7:21,25; Acts 9:13; 26:10; Rev 13:7; 16:6; 17:6; 18:24; 20:9; etc.).  Your “proof-text” in support of your belief is Revelation 14:12, where the saints are described as those who keep the commandments of God – a concept which you utterly reject.  Thus you are forced to take up a hated prophetic proof-text to support your own claim that YOU are not a saint in trying to support your argument for pretrib rapture, even though Revelation 14:12 makes you a little insane when you read it:
Revelation 14:12   “Here is the patience of the saints:  here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus; and, as the Lord also said:
John 14:15   “If ye love me, keep my commandments.”  (This plain statement has been attacked in a hundred ways.)
CONSIDER the irony in the fact that pretribbers universally reject these verses under the circular logic that “We can’t be the saints there because we don’t keep the commandments!” – who imagine themselves spiritually superior to “the saints” by rebelling against the Lord, against his sabbath day, against his commandments, and against his prophetic warnings – all graciously given by the Lord for our benefit so we would have the spiritual spine to endure the world and enter into eternal life.
Bluntly speaking, you paid a hidden price when you accepted the satanic lie that “the commandments are done away with.”  That price involved being made blind to related and intertwined doctrines.  With your conscience compromised, you now reason to yourself that because you reject the Lord’s commandments (and are NOT, by biblical definition, a saint), you will NOT, therefore, have to suffer tribulation, and are entitled to the reward of a pretrib rapture – unlike the poor dumb saints that “keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus,” who (under the formula of your belief system) “must go through the tribulation because they trusted in their works!”  The truly glaring issue here is the widespread belief that playing games with biblical doctrine will fool God and lead to something other than destruction! (2nd Ptr 3:16).
1st Timothy 4:16   Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them:  for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee.”

V.   ALLEGORIES (or “PICTURES”) OF THE RESURRECTION:

Professional pretribbers and their devoted followers are fanatic in using biblical allegory out of context to prove false doctrines that are unrelated to the passages from which they pluck the allegory.  (This methodology has Satan’s fingerprints all over it.)

allegory, n.;  description of one thing under the image of another . . .  a story in which people, things, and happenings have another meaning, as in a fable or parable:  allegories are used for teaching or explaining.  [Webster’s Unabridged]

Examples of biblical allegory:  Gen 4:8-10;  2nd Sam 12:1-6;  1st Chron 16:33;  Isa 55:10-12;  Ezek 29:1-6; 38:1-23;  Prov 30:28; Mt 3:8-10; Lk 16:1-9 & 19-31.  (Also examine “types” & “archetypes”:  Joseph and his brethren in Egypt; etc.)

TRUE ALLEGORIES of the real “resurrection”:

A)     The Lord with Moses at Mount Horeb  (This is the first time that the word “trumpet” is in the bible.)
Exodus 19:10-13   “. . . the Lord will come down in the sight of all the people. . . .”
There’s no “secret” about this!
“. . . when the trumpet soundeth long, they shall come up . . .” (and not one second sooner!).
B)     The Fall of Jericho (a plain biblical picture of the resurrection)
Joshua 5:13-15   [The Lord personally shows up with a drawn sword!]  (See Hebrews 2:9-10 for captain.”)
Compare this with 1st Thes 4:16-17   “For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout . . . and with the trump of God and the dead in Christ shall rise first:  Then we which . . . remain shall be caught up. . . .”
Revelation 8:2   “And I saw the seven angels . . . and to them were given seven trumpets.”
Revelation 11:15   “And the seventh angel sounded. . . .”
Joshua 6:3-5   “. . . the trumpet . . . the people shall shout with a great shout . . . the people shall ascend up. . . .”
NOTICE:  The people don’t go up on just any trump, but at the last trump, which is the seventh trump!
vs. 15-16   “. . . on the seventh day . . . at the seventh time . . . with the trumpets . . . the people went up . . . .”
v. 20   shouted . . . trumpets . . . trumpet . . . shouted with a great shout . . . the people went up. . . .”
v. 21   “And they utterly destroyed all that was in the city . . . with the edge of the sword.”
COMPARE these with Rev 11:18; Jer 25:30; Isaiah 63:1-6; and 66:10-16.  The Lord’s day is a day of deliverance for one people and a day of destruction for the other, on “that great and notable day of the Lord.”

Deuteronomy 32:41-43   “If I whet my glittering sword, and mine hand take hold on judgment; I will render vengeance to mine enemies, and will reward them that hate me.  I will make mine arrows drunk with blood, and my sword shall devour flesh; and that with the blood of the slain and of the captives, from the beginning of revenges upon the enemy.  Rejoice, O ye nations, with his people:  for he will avenge the blood of his servants, and will render vengeance to his adversaries, and will be merciful unto his land, and to his people.”

Lord Jesus, open our eyes.  Amen.

“I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth
because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent,
and hast revealed them unto babes.”

Should we fear God?

My God is many things He is Merciful, He is Righteous, He is Love and also He is a consuming fire(Heb 12:29) that will take vengeance on this world (2nd Thess 1:8). Is this some type of contradiction in the Bible, can God be all of these things, can God be a God of Love and a God of vengeance? Yes he can and He is all of these things. The Bible does tell us in Luke 12:5 to fear God, but in 1 John it says “There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear:..” Is this a contradiction? Do we fear God or not? Let’s look at the Bible (King James) for the answer.

The Lord God has spoken a lot about fear in the Bible and is specific on who and what we should fear. Lets read Luke 12:5 in its entirety “But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him.” and again in Matthew 10:28 “And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.” Man may kill our body, but man cannot kill our soul, so we are not to fear Men, but rather God. Remember King David how he ran not walked RAN towards Goliath? David trusted and believed that God would deliver him from his enemies. In Proverbs 29:25 it reads “The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the Lord shall be safe.”

Ok so now we know that we are not to fear men, but what about God, do we fear Him? Again let’s turn our eyes to His word. Deut 6:2 “That thou mightest fear the LORD thy God, to keep all his statutes and his commandments, which I command thee…” Ps 89:7 “God is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the saints, and to be had in reverence of all them that are about him.” Ecc 12:13 “Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.” Heb 10:31 “It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.” 1st Peter 3:15 “But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:” Heb 12:28 “Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:”(Note: The NIV removes “godly fear” with awe which is NOT the same)  These are just a few of the many times in the Bible where God tells us that we must fear him.

So now we have verses telling us not to fear men and verses telling us to fear God, do we discount the many verses about fearing God because 1 John says “There is no fear in Love..” Do we discount John and what he wrote? NO. John is telling us that if we have perfect love in Christ, God will cast out any and all fears of this world whether it be men or dying or whatever you are fearful of. John is not contradicting the word of God he is explaining who are God is and how we are to be.

So are we to fear God? Yes! We are to fear God in all His glory and power. Are we to fear anything else? No. Romans 8:31 “…If God be for us, who can be against us?”  I fear my Lord God with godly fear….

Once Saved, Always Saved

This Baptist saying (and the satanic/humanist concept it pretends to express) does not exist in the bible in any form, or in any words. Historically examined, this false doctrine developed as a reaction to the false Catholic doctrine which demanded that a man could not know he was “born again”, while at the same time insisting he must pay money and do works to KEEP what he never had anyway! (Two wrong doctrines do not make a right one.)

BAPTIST PROOF-TEXTS

(These five numbered verses are known by every Baptist, which they wrest to their convenience as proof-texts, but they are nearly always ignorant of the verses that follow each example, and certainly will not apply them to doctrine.) Continue reading Once Saved, Always Saved
