Santa Equals Satan: Christmas; The Winter Pagan Roman Sex-Feast of Saturnalia

By Eric Jon Phelps


No true, born-again, Reformation Bible believing Christian should ever observe “Christmas,” or rather, the “Merry Mass of Christ.”  The holiday is an utter blasphemy forbidden to be celebrated by the godly Puritans in their colony of Massachusetts.  This wicked feast of the devil first known as “Saturnalia” only began to be officially observed with the presidency of Episcopalian Jesuit Temporal Coadjutor President Franklin Pierce (1853-1857)—the man who used Commodore Perry to open up Japan in 1853 having been closed to the Jesuits for over 200 years.  Of Rome and her Christmas, the great Scottish minister Alexander Hislopwrote in 1858:

“If Rome be indeed the Babylon of the Apocalypse, and the Madonna enshrined in her sanctuaries be the very queen of heaven, for the worshipping of whom the fierce anger of God was provoked against the Jews in the days of Jeremiah, it is of the last consequence that the fact should be established beyond all possibility of doubt; for that being once established, every one who trembles at the Word of God must shudder at the very thought of giving such a system, either individually or nationally, the least countenance or support.  Something has been said already that goes far to prove the identity of the Roman and Babylonian systems; but at every step the evidence becomes still more overwheming.  That which arises from comparing the different festivals is peculiarly so.

“The festivals of Rome are innumerable; but five of the most important may be singled out for elucidation—viz., Christmas-day, Lady-day, Easter, the nativity of St. John, and the Feast of the Assumption.  Each and all of these can be proved to be Babylonian.  And first, as to the festival in honour of the birth of Christ, or Christmas.  How comes it that that festival was connected with the 25th of December?  There is not a word in the Scriptures about the precise day of His birth, or the time of the year when He was born.  What is recorded there, implies that at what time soever His birth took place, it could not have been on the 25th of December. . . .

“Indeed, it is admitted by the most learned and candid writers of all parties that the day of our Lord’s birth cannot be determined, and that within the Christian Church no such festival as Christmas was ever heard of till the third century, and that not till the fourth century [after the creation of the Roman Papacy at Constantine's Council of Nicaea, AD 325---EJP] was far advanced did it gain much observance.  How, then, did the Romish Church fix on December the 25th as Christmas-day?  Why, thus: long before the fourth century, and long before the Christian era itself, a festival was celebrated among the heathen, at that precise time of the year, in honour of the birth of the son of the Babylonian queen of heaven. . . . In Egypt, the son of Isis, the Egyptian title for the queen of heaven, was born at this very time, ‘about the time of the winter solstice.’  The very name by which Christmas is popularly known among ourselves —Yule day—proves at once its Pagan and Babylonian origin.  ‘Yule’ is the Chaldee name for an ‘infant’ or ‘little child;’ and the 25th of December was called by our Pagan Anglo-Saxon ancestors, ‘Yule-day,’ or the ‘Child’s day,’ and the night that preceded it, ‘Mother-night,’ long vefore they came in contact with Christianity, that sufficiently proves it real character.  Far and wide, in the realms of Paganism, was this birth-day observed. . . . But there is indubitable evidence that the festival in question had a much higher reference than this—that it commemorated not merely the figurative birth-day of the sun in the renewal [longitudinal reversal---EJP] of its course, but the birth-day of the grand Deliverer. . . .

“Now the Yule log is the dead stock of Nimrod, deified as the sun-god, but cut down by his enemies; the Christmas-tree is Nimrod redivivus [revived to new life, EJP]—the slain god come to live again. . . .

“There can be no doubt, then, that the Pagan festival at the winter solstice—in other words, Christmas—was held in honour of the birth of the Babylonian Messiah [the slain Nimrod reborn as Tammuz, and in Egypt, the slain Osiris reborn as Horus---EJP]. . . .
“The thing is incredible.  Lady-day and Christmas-day, then, are purely Babylonian.”*

Thus Christmas—the Merry Mass of Christ—is the present day observance ofSatan’s coming Babylonian Messiah.  In Babylon he was Nimrod reborn from Mother Semiramis as Tammuz; in Egypt he was Osiris reborn from Mother Isis as Horus.  This great prophetic myth of Satan is to be literally fulfilled in the coming Antichrist/Man-Beast of I John 2:18/Revelation 13:3-10.  But from whence shall this prophecy be fulfilled?  From no other place than the Jesuit Roman Papacy!  For every pope is, in fact, an acting Osiris, the vicar of the long-awaited Horus.  The final pope of Rome will be slain to be reborn from Holy Mother Church as “the beast” (Daniel 7:11; Revelation 13:3-10)  Indeed, the final pope—Roman Papal Caesar—is to be slain, the tree cut down in the forest.  He then will be brought back to life to recover from his mortal sword wound (Revelation 13:14), the tree brought into the home for decoration.  He will then be possessed by Satan (disembodied Lucifer), the tree topped with a star—”Lucifer” being “the star of the morning” (Isaiah 14:12).  And the means, Satan’s foremost great Second Cause to bring his ancient, prophetic, Babylonian myth to pass is none other than the diabolicalSociety of Jesus which is in fact, Satan’s Society of Horus!

The Coming Global Transformation

By Eternal Productions

Overview:

We have been rightly called the exponential generation.  Every prophetic sign is ramping up before our eyes.  These are truly perilous and exciting times.  In addition to the rapid increase in knowledge and transportation, we are witnessing many monumental events:  A global government emerging, global tracking technology in place, lawlessness and terrorism at record levels, the Middle East in turmoil, environmental devastation of biblical proportions, etc.  Besides all this, interest in the occult realm is sweeping the globe and reported paranormal activity is mushrooming.

The Coming Global Transformation tackles these distressing developments head-on by examining specific, ancient prophecies describing the last days and actual recent news reports and events that indicate a global transformation is looming.

Some of the questions that Transformation addresses include:  Are there advanced beings in the universe and are they friends or foes?  Is disclosure imminent?  Is there a sure source that tells us what the future holds?  What role do apparitions play in the end times?  Is there hope for global peace and who will usher it in?  Does the scientific evidence point to evolution or creation?  Will a New Age soon dawn?  Who can save us from ourselves?  Why is the Middle East the epicenter and culminating point of history?  Will there be a Rapture and who will be removed?  What will happen to those who remain on earth?  With all the varying viewpoints how can we discern between truth and deception, good and evil?  Is the “real you” physical or spiritual?  Is there hope available to all?

The Coming Global Transformation wrestles with these issues through the eyes of believers and skeptics.  It does not dodge the big questions, but deals directly with many of the most important issues facing mankind.  Are you willing to follow the Truth no matter where it leads?  If so, prepare to have your presuppositions challenged and your worldview forever changed.  Bible prophecies are unquestionably being fulfilled; make today the day you take notice and prepare for your eternal destiny!  Time is so short!

Mystery, Babylon The Great Revealed

The Church of Rome became the true heir to the Babylonian Mysteries of Nimrod Not only did the Bishop of Rome take the office of Pontifex Maximus from the pagan Roman Emperors, but the Church of Rome incorporated the worship and rites of the Mysteries into professed Christianity. This fulfilled the vision given to the Apostle John of the woman riding upon a scarlet coloured beast.

"And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH." (Revelation 17. 5) Concerning the beast with seven heads which she rode, the scripture says, "The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth....

And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth." (Revelation 17. 9 and 18) That great city is none other than Rome, known through the ages for its seven hills.

IT'S TIME TO WAKE UP! Totalitarian Program "Agenda 21" Now in Effect!

Written on September 13, 2011 by ralphbarker
http://patriotupdate.com/articles/totalitarian-program-agenda-21-now-in-effect

Effective execution of Agenda 21 will require a profound reorientation of all human society, unlike anything the world has ever experienced a major shift in the priorities of both governments and individuals and an unprecedented redeployment of human and financial resources. This shift will demand that a concern for the environmental consequences of every human action be integrated into individual and collective decision-making at every level.
- George H. Bush

Agenda 21 isn’t coming. It is here. Most don’t know about it. They’ve never heard of it, but it is creeping in the back door right now. So, look behind you. It may already be in your backyard.

What is Agenda 21? It is a United Nation’s program presented and approved in Rio in 1992. At that time American conservatives laughed it off. “This is too crazy,” they said. “Impossible. It will never happen. Not here!” Well, it is happening. It is happening here and it is happening now. Agenda 21 is a totalitarian comprehensive environmental program that, when fully implemented, will direct where you live, how much water you can use, and how and where you can travel.

Agenda 21 is being marketed as a worldwide effort to ensure that all human beings will have access to adequate housing, health care, water and food. Of course this will require a massive redistribution of wealth from prosperous countries to poorer countries. Predictably, capitalistic countries, like the United States, will suffer lower standards of living.

It’s noteworthy that Presidents George H. Bush, Bill Clinton, and Barack Obama, through Executive Orders, have signed onto Agenda 21. Hundreds more governors, mayors, and county commissioners have also signed on.

Agenda 21 and related programs will eliminate many things we hold dear. These have been declared “unsustainable” and will be abolished. Here are some of them:

All private property rights (property ownership)
All forms of irrigation, pesticides & commercial fertilizer
Livestock production and most meat consumption
Privately owned vehicles and personal travel
Use of fossil fuels for power generation or mechanized travel
Single family homes
Most forms of mineral extraction and timber harvesting
Human population must be reduced to fewer than 1 billion people

It’s not coming from Washington D.C. or state legislatures for the most part. It is seeping in through local city and county governments. Agenda 21 brings with it stealthy code words, comforting words such as “smart growth,” “social justice,” “bio-diversity,” and “sustained development.” You will hear them often. Translated these terms effectively mean total environmental dictatorship and the elevation of the pagan practice of the worship of Mother Earth. Not a joke.

179 countries, including the United States, initially signed on to the Agenda in 1992. Many more have joined since then. It is already in progress in 600 U.S. cities. You can check the list of committed countries and cities at: http://www.iclei.org/index.php?id=11454. You can also read the specific programs being implemented.

Agenda 21 is designed to control every aspect of human life on every square inch of planet earth. As a biblical worldview dims in the world man falls to the bottom of the food chain.

If Agenda 21 succeeds animals will become more important than man as will plants and trees. We can already see ample evidence of this process in motion today. Agenda 21’s real message is: “Man is the problem. Nature must be preserved and take precedence. Mother Earth must not be scratched.“

Agenda 21 is just another attempt by man to recreate heaven on earth. David Chilton, in his insightful book Paradise Restored, presents an important historical dynamic. Chilton submits that man, ever since he was expelled from Eden, has tried to get back in. Each time he tries, he creates another hell on earth. Agenda 21 will be no different.

Many socialistic, communistic, and liberal organizations and international leaders are behind Agenda 21 and its related programs. It will take dedication of time and effort on our part to truly understand all the implications of this pervasive program. The investment of time will be worth it.

I encourage you, no, beg you, to learn of this Agenda. Take the time. Think of the world your children will inherit if we don’t stop it and similar assaults on our freedoms. Do not make the mistake of writing this off as some conspiracy theory. It may or may not be a conspiracy, but it is not a theory. It’s here. Look behind you.

"No one will enter the New World Order unless he or she will make a pledge to worship Lucifer. No one will enter the New Age unless he will take a LUCIFERIAN Initiation."
(David Spangler, Director of Planetary Initiative, United Nations)

United Nations

"The United Nations is the greatest fraud in history. It's purpose is to destroy the United States." (John E. Rankin, a U.S. Congressman)

"The age of nations must end. The governments of nations have decided to order their separate sovereignties into one government to which they will surrender their arms." (U.N. World Constitution)

The first president of the United Nations General Assembly, Paul-Henri Spaak, who was also a prime minister of Belgium and one of the early planners of the European Common Market, as well as a secretary-general of NATO, affirmed, "We do not want another committee, we have too many already. What we want is a man of sufficient stature to hold the allegiance of all the people and to lift us up out of the economic morass into which we are sinking. Send us such a man, and whether he be God or devil, we will receive him."

THE OCCULT CHARACTER OF THE UNITED NATIONS

April 25, 1945. (4/25/ 4+2+5=11) Delegates from 50 nations met in San Francisco on April 25, 1945, for what was officially known as the United Nations Conference on International Organization. During a two-month period, they completed a charter consisting of 111 articles, based on the draft developed at Dumbarton Oaks. The charter was approved on June 25 (6/25=6+2+5=13)and signed the next day; it became effective on October 24, 1945, after ratification by a majority of the signatories. The bonds of the wartime alliance undoubtedly hastened agreement on establishing the new organization. In December 1945 the Congress of the United States invited the UN to establish its headquarters in the United States. The organization accepted and in August 1946 moved to a temporary location in Lake Success, New York. (New York was the 11th state to endorse the Constitution.) Later that year a site was purchased bordering the East River in New York City, (New York City is exactly 11 letters.) and plans for a permanent headquarters were drawn up.(97 Microsoft Encarta United Nations Origin)

Number 11:

In systems such as Astrology and basic Numerology, eleven is considered to be a Master Number. Eleven can also represent sin; transgression and peril. Ten being the perfect number, eleven represents the exceeding of both. It is interesting to note that eleven when broken down (1+1=2) comprises the Two of duality. (LUCIFER tried/wanted to be equal to God) Number eleven is a master vibration and as such should not be reduced to a single number. People with this number could be both idealistic and visionary, and they are attracted to the unknown. They can be both unusual, interesting and magnetic personalities. Eleven bring the gift of spiritual inheritance, (system of the Anti-Christ) is gifted as the "Light-Bearer". (One of the names of Lucifer) "The Symbolism and Spiritual Significance of the Number 11" see also MASSIVE TERRORISM AGAINST AMERICAN CITIES! see also light workers

Eleven (11) is a sacred number. When eleven is multiplied by the perfect number 3, the number 33 is produced, a number of tremendous occult importance. In 1933, Adolf Hitler and President Franklin Roosevelt came to power. Both these men were committed to the establishment of the New World Order, and their actions impacted humanity greatly. It was also in 1933 that the First Humanist Manifesto was issued. Do you see how Satan manipulated world history to produce three New World Order events in 1933? Thus, a powerful 333 served as a framework for world events in that year. Occultists Worship Numbers

A copy of a top secret document has been smuggled out of the Executive Office Building in Washington DC. Parts of it are as follows: On transfer of sovereignty to the United Nations, those who do not conform to United Nations authority will be considered RESISTERS and declared ENEMIES OF THE GOVERNMENT. Public statements in support of the old ways and favoring continued United States nationalism will be considered ENEMY DOCTRINE "Are YOU An 'Enemy of the State???'" What Christians Should KNOW!

The PURPOSE for the build up of World Wars was to create a NEED for PEACE so that a UNITED NATIONS may be needed and then created as a SOLUTION for establishing peace between nations. A WORLD body of GOVERNMENT with a WORLD COURT and a WORLD POLICE to keep nations in place and to concentrate power into a few people's hands. Who's hands? William Howard Taft, Skull and Bones graduate of 1878, helped found the American Society for the Judicial Settlement of International Disputes in 1920. This soon became the League to Enforce the Peace, then the League of Nations and then finally The United Nations. If you look at things from a historical perspective, the U.N. today has implemented or is in the process of implementing all the planks of Adam Weishaupt's Manifesto. When George Bush took us to war in the Persian Gulf, he stated boldly that he didn't need the approval of Congress anymore to declare war because he had a U.N. Mandate. We have sacrificed a large part of our U.S. sovereignty. The U.N. has recently passed a Declaration of Children's Right's. It is now a RIGHT of the child to receive vaccinations, which do more harm than good, and a parent doesn't have the right to interfere. Parents who interfere with the rights of a child or abuse a child or are accused of abuse can have their children taken by the state. If you are seen spanking a child more than two or three times, the child abuse police will be unleashed against you. This amounts to nothing more than a giant power transfer, from US to THEM. The only way they can do this is by tricking us into thinking that we are so irresponsible that we cannot manage our own affairs and lives and that the state is better suited to raise our children. If you still like the U.N. then wait until you get hit with the new U.N. TAX that is coming. The Secret History of America The Greatest Conspiracy On Earth

Robert Muller is a self-confessed LUCIFERIAN New World Order leader, and a former Assistant Secretary General of the United Nations.

Muller is one of the foremost leaders in the New Age/New World Order Movement whose #1 goal is to produce Antichrist so he can rule the newly formed global government. In fact, Muller claims his Guiding Spirit is none other than Master Diwhal Khul [Master D.K.], also referred to as the Tibetan . This demon was the Guiding Spirit of Alice A. Bailey, Director, House of Theosophy.

During the presentation in Arcadia, a film was shown in which the United Nations armies were brought into a West African nation to bring 'peace'. They encountered several hundred civilians, and thus opened fire on them with machine guns and rifles. Vividly shown in the film was one lady carrying her child. The head of the child suddenly exploded as a .30 caliber machine gun bullet blew it open like it was a watermelon, and then another bullet struck the mother and she fell down. The masses, the several hundred women and children eventually were all slaughtered by the United Nations troops who had come to bring 'peace', and they joked and laughed about their job and how they had completed that and now must get on and find others.

Mr. Fagan launched a "ONE-MAN" crusade to unmask the Red Conspiracy in Hollywood to produce films that would aid that "ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT" plot. Out of that came into being the "CINEMA EDUCATIONAL GUILD." As a result of the work of this "C. E. G." organization (headed by Mr. Fagan, in 1947); came the Congressional Hearings at which more than 300 of Hollywood's, (also Radio and T.V.) most famous Stars, Writers, and Directors were unmasked as the chief activist of the Red Conspiracy.

That was when the infamous "HOLLYWOOD TEN" were sent to prison. IT WAS THE MOST SENSATIONAL EVENT OF THAT DECADE! From that time on Mr. Fagan has devoted all of his time and efforts to writing monthly "NEWS BULLETINS" for "C. E.

Jesuit Papacy Endgame: Slain/Risen Pope turned Antichrist/Man-Beast to Rule World

By Eric Jon Phelps
http://www.vaticanassassins.org/

The Reformers were right! Every pope is an antichrist and the devil’s Roman papacy (later supercharged and fully Jesuitized by 1814) is the dynasty of the antichrist popes. What they missed was the scriptural truth that the final Roman Papal Caesar (Daniel 9:26-27) will be murdered and rise from the dead (Revelation 13:3-5), then to be the one-of-a-kind Antichrist/Man-Beast. These prophecies about this most powerful of Satan’s popes yet to come is the foundation of Satan’s foremost prophetic myth—of the slain and risen Horus possessed by Set/Satan then to rule the world from rebuilt Babylon city as the invincible Phoenix-King.

Presently, it is the Jesuit Papacy and its International White Power Structure, administering the Black Pope’s International Intelligence Community perfected during the pope’s Cold War Hoax (1945-1990), that rules the world from Rome. Indeed, Rome, sitting on seven hills/mountains (Revelation 17:9),“is that great city which reigneth over the kings of the earth” (Revelation 17:18).

When the last and final Roman Papal Caesar/“Pontifex Maximus” comes to power, one of his acts will be to confirm an existing international peace treaty/covenant for seven years (Daniel 9:26-27).

This covenant/treaty will be for the security of Jerusalem (Daniel 9:24, 27). Finally “peace and safety” will have arrived for Israel, the pope’s revived “Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem.” The world will rejoice, the Israeli-Arab conflict (secretly perpetuated by Rome since the pope’s inception of Israel in 1948) will have ended. The final pope will be a world hero—for 1260 days!

Towards the ending of the 1260 days (the first half of the 70th week of Daniel yet future) this final Roman Papal Caesar will undergo a change. This Seventh Roman Caesar-King (the first six kings being Caligula, Claudius, Nero, Vespasian, Titus and Domitian of the First century) will be slain. All the world will mourn! His death with a sword will be regarded as the greatest blow to “world peace” ever perpetrated; for it was this Man—this pope—who ended the conflict in Israel!

The slain Roman pope will lay in state for a few days, probably three days, ensuring the world will be informed of his death during the funeral at Vatican City. The heads of state will will all be in attendance. The Black Pope will be overseeing the drama, for he knows this pope is different. This pope, like the mythological Egyptian Horus, must live again! This pope, like the dying phoenix, must rise from his ashes, “reborn” to new life!

On the last day of the 1260-day false peace enjoyed by Jerusalem, the slain pope rises from the dead by the working of Satan. He will step out of his casket in view of all world leaders present at the funeral. Shock and awe will grip the globe as all nations behold this Man whose “deadly wound was healed” (Revelation 13:4). At this moment, Satan, along with his fallen angels, will have been cast out of heaven and confined to the earth (Revelation 12:9), he then to possess and indwell this Man— “the Beast” (Daniel 7:11; Revelation 13:3-10). Truly, this will be “a Kodak moment!”

The first act of the slain and risen pope—now the Antichrist/Man-Beast—will be to secure the subordination and service of his Ten Roman kings (Revelation 17:16-17). Without them, He will not fulfill his destiny. They are imperative in Satan’s quest of securing international worship of himself through this Man (Revelation 13:8). Seven of these kings will willingly give their allegiance to the Man-Beast; three will be forcefully submitted (Daniel 7:8, 20).

Having consolidated his power, the Ten Kings of the Man-Beast will then destroy Rome with Vatican City by fire (Revelation 17:16). A few well-placed, high-tech weapons will do the job and the world will again witness the unthinkable—the physical destruction of the most important city on earth for the last 2000 years! That incineration will include the coveted and priceless Vatican library along with Rome’s treasures in art and architecture. All the Roman gardens—gone!

The second epic act of this Man will be the killing of the Two Hebrew Prophets in Jerusalem (Revelation 11:3-12). These Two Witnesses—the returned Moses and Elijah having been with Christ at his transfiguration—will have finished their 1260-day ministry calling for Israel’s national repentance, but to no avail! The Antichrist’s murder of Moses and Elijah will render this White-Gentile, Roman Man-Beast invincible to the world. Indeed, the world shall cry:
“Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?”

The third epic event of this Man will be his breaking of the his seven-year, international peace treaty (Daniel 9:27) and his declaration of being “God Almighty” within the rebuilt Temple of Solomon! (II Thessalonians 2:4) This act begins the Great Tribulation as warned by the Lord Jesus Christ (Matthew 24:15). Ah, the dream of Satan’s Knights Templars, revived as the Society of Jesus/Society of Horus, will finally come true! The Man-Beast’s Hebrew False Prophet—on this very same day—erects a talking statue in the Jerusalem Temple, the False Hebrew Propohet demanding international worship of this “image of the beast” (Revelation 13:11-18). This statue is “the abomination of desolation” (Matthew 24:15)—the statue of the Man-Beast desolating the Hebrew Temple of God in Jerusalem (Revelation 11:1-2)!

The fourth bombastic act of the Satan-possessed Antichrist/Man-Beast will be his removal to the new world capital—the rebuilt City of Babylon! (Presently, the pope’s US military commanded by select Knights of Malta are conducting the war of urban renewal in Iraq while the pope’s gigantic construction companies—including CFR-Dick Cheney’s Haliburton now based in Dubai!—are rebuilding Babylon under guard by US forces! Yes, this is the foremost reason for the war in Iraq!) At this time Satan’s risen Horus will be known as “the Assyrian” and the “King of Babylon!” (Isaiah 10:5; 14:4) He will rule the world for “forty-two months” (Revelation 13:5; 12:6) during which the Lamb of God will judge the world with His Seal, Trumpet and Bowl judgments (Revelation 6-19).

The end will be the Second Coming of “the Word of God” (Revelation 19:13), He then to establish his world kingdom over all the kingdoms of the earth for one thousand years (Daniel 7:14; Revelation 20:4), and later, to continue forever in the new earth!

In conclusion, the Jesuit Papacy is the necessary tool by which the Risen Son of God will bring his infallible Word to pass. The risen pope turned Antichrist/Man-Beast (the Seventh Roman Caesar-King turned the Eighth King, yet is the same body of the Seventh King) will yet rule the world. Necessary to that rule are Eleven Men:
His Ten Roman Kings and His Hebrew False Prophet!

The shocking preview of these coming Twelve Men—the Antichrist/Man-Beast, His Ten Roman Kings and his Hebrew False Prophet—is depicted in the photo above standing atop of the Vatican! Rome’s open-but-false teaching is these twelve men are the twelve apostles; but the secret-but-true reality is these twelve statues are the Twelve Men yet to shake the world in fulfillment of Satan’s “Mystery of Iniquity!”

UPDATE:

It has been kindly pointed out to your Editor that it appears I am approving of the Jesuit Order in its diabolical quest for world government under the pope of its making, slain and risen from the dead to be the Antichrist/Man-Beast. Nothing could be further from the truth. The Reformation Bible-believing Man of God of all nations is to resist evil—including treason, to expose the hidden things of darkness, to contend for the faith and watch for Satanic attack as the devil goes about like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour. Thus, I will continue to resist and expose the Jesuit Order and its nefarious designs until the Lord takes me out of this world by translation, by expiration, or even by “extirpation.”

When I stated above that the Jesuit Papacy is the necessary tool by which the Risen Son of God will bring his infallible, written Word to pass, this statement was premised upon the doctrine of Almighty God the Father using evil men to bring His counsel to pass for His eternal glorification and praise! Such was the case of Joseph; for he was wickedly sold into slavery by his brothers but what they intended for evil, God worked and weaved for good (Genesis 50:20). Such was the case of Judas; though responsible for his sin of betraying the Son of God (Matthew 26:24), he was chosen by Christ Jesus for that very purpose (John 17:12). Such was the case of those Jews and Roman Gentiles who crucified Christ; though responsible for the murder (Acts 7:52), they voluntarily, without compunction or coercion, crucified the Son of God—His death by crucifixion having been determined by God the Father (Psalm 22:16; Acts 4:27-28) before the foundation of the world (Revelation 13:8). Yes, God determined the slaying of His beloved Son, but not the sin and crime that brought it to pass. These wicked men, whose spiritual father was the devil (I John 3:8-10) fulfilled the counsel of God—of their own choosing, of their own fallen will enslaved to sin.

God is not the author of sin; God forbid that any should charge Him with folly, namely, that he is the First Cause of all things—including sin. (This belief is a heresy of certain Calvinists, they preaching God ordained the Fall of Man, thereby rendering the mercy of God in Christ a mere divine stage play and an unspeakable mockery of fallen men.) But God takes all things that have ever, are now and will ever transpire—including the sinful works of Satan as well as the evil works of men—and weaves them to fulfill the determinate counsel of his will (Ephesians 1:11). By this principle, God is using Satan and his greatest, human Second Cause in the earth at present, to fulfill His counsel in bringing the Antichrist/Man-Beast to world power some day. For every sin each high Jesuit commits he will be held personally accountable; yet God, whose ways are past finding out, will work every sinful act to fulfill His eternal counsel, He making the wrath of man to ultimately praise Him (Psalm 76:10)!

A Challenge For Calvary Chapel Pastors to Take a Stand Against Apostasy

Commentary by Roger Oakland
http://www.understandthetimes.org/

The Bible teaches that a one-world religion will be a characteristic of the Last Days. While Jesus Christ is preparing His bride, Satan, God’s adversary, is preparing the crowning of the harlot.

This counterfeit harlot “bride” is being set up to prepare the way for the counterfeit “Christ.” This anti-Christ church will come in the name of the Church of Jesus Christ. This is the scenario that the Bible defines.

We are seeing this happening right before our eyes, yet so few see it. Is this largely due to Christian leaders who are blinded by their pride (Obadiah 1:3); and, hiding behind their accomplishments, they are driven by this pride, refusing to listen to those who are trying to warn them? Do these shepherds really know they are pulling the wool over the eyes of the very sheep they are supposed to be protecting?

This short commentary is another effort to warn those whom we know and love who are being seduced by Satan’s plan. Satan is a world schemer, and he has done this through the ages. There are many ways and means that Satan uses to seduce those who have believed and those who have never believed.

When Does a Shepherd Warn?


A true shepherd always warns his flock when danger is near. Imagine what happens when the shepherd falls asleep. Like a shepherd, pastors are to warn their sheep. Not only do they feed them, but they never let wolves come into their midst. Wolves can look harmless if they are wearing sheep’s clothing. The Bible warns that this is one of the ways that Satan works. Let us not forget that he comes as an “angel of light,” and his ministers come as “ministers of righteousness” as mentioned in 2 Corinthians 11.

Just like shepherds need to be alert to protect their flocks of sheep, so too pastors need to protect their “flocks” of believers. However, this doesn’t always happen - especially when many pastors look to a single pastor who, in essence, has replaced Jesus Christ. The Bible teaches that Jesus Christ should be our “good shepherd.” When we put a man between Jesus and ourselves we are only asking for trouble.

If there was ever a time for Christian pastors to be discerning about the invasion of false doctrine, it’s now. In previous commentaries, we have been warning about this very problem. Apostasy doesn’t happen overnight. It sneaks up, one compromising step after the next, and it is a symptom that something has gone very wrong. When many pastors are caught up in following one man and the decisions he makes, this can be the recipe for disaster and the beginning of a cult. Humans are humans, and God is God. Once more, check out history, men are fallible and can easily be misled. Pride is a snare that any one of us can fall prey to, and it is a dangerous trap that we should resist and flee from.

Elders are to be part of local church government, keeping pastors true to the Word of God. When elders are forced to be puppets, they are nothing more than objects of manipulation. God’s design for true biblical leadership is abandoned for the “Moses model.” Remember, Moses disobeyed God, and as a result, he never made it into the Promised Land.

How Is Calvary Chapel Being Led Down the Road to Rome?

The evidence is growing that Calvary Chapel discernment is fading away. Some wonder if this has something to do with the lack of discernment in the formative years of Calvary Chapel. If an organization starts out with no discernment and doesn’t correct that, doesn’t it make sense that it will not have discernment in the future? As we pointed out in an earlier commentary bad roots produce unhealthy fruit.

While many sheep are still blindly following what they believe is biblical Christianity, the influence of Rome on Calvary Chapel is becoming clearer every day to those who have “eyes to see.” Those who do see what is happening are disheartened to watch the warning signs appear almost daily, and yet still there is silence from those who could speak up and make a difference. If you count up all the senior Calvary Chapel pastors, all the associate and assistant Calvary Chapel pastors, and all the Calvary Chapel youth pastors throughout the world, you are probably looking at nearly four thousand men. Yet, to our knowledge, not one Calvary Chapel pastor is publicly challenging the organization to whom they have placed their trust, their affiliation, and their commitment. We are not talking about private conversations going on behind the scenes – we are talking about public denouncement of deliberate apostasy. The silence of these nearly four thousand men is deafening, and the results of this silence is that many sheep are confused and being led astray with a false sense of security that everything is ok because their pastors say nothing.

Yesterday, in a discussion with a retired Calvary Chapel pastor, I was told that Understand The Times is confusing the sheep by presenting the evidence that apostasy is happening around them. Does this mean that we should ignore the facts and cover up apostasy by becoming silent as the others are doing?

When God showed Nathan sin, he went to David and told him. I am sure it was not easy for Nathan. Has biblical truth changed? Are we to cover our eyes and walk away and say, “all is well”? If that is the case, then we invite skeptics to show us the chapter and verse.

The following link documents just some of the overwhelming evidence that Calvary Chapel is becoming ecumenical and on the road to Rome:

Please pray for the Calvary Chapel movement that the leaders would be like David and“see,” repent, and speak up before it’s too late.

Commentary by Roger Oakland: Another spirit or the Holy Spirit?

The Bible teaches there is another spirit, another gospel and another Jesus? If God is God, why would such deception exist? The answer is very simple. Satan, the father of lies, is the great deceiver who wants to be God. His plan is to deceive the world in the name of the Savior, Jesus Christ.

Therefore, if the Spirit of God leads the lost to the Son of God, could it be that that “another spirit” is how the devil leads the whole world to the antichrist? These are questions that every Christian should think about, especially in the Last Days when deception is on the increase.


For some time now, I have been thinking about these things. How does Satan deceive, and should a Christian be aware of how Satan works? The Bible is full of references that warn believers to wake up and to expose darkness.

Further, the concept of checking out the roots of a tree has been constantly on my mind. What does it means to check out the roots of a tree with reference to Christianity? Some time ago, a friend of mine gave me an illustration he believed had an important spiritual implication. The illustration was that of a simple drawing of a tree that was filled with ravens sitting on the branches. While some branches represented biblical truths, other branches represented teachings that had infiltrated the body of Christ and were clearly devious plans of Satan.

As for the roots of the tree, some of the roots were embedded in healthy soil and thus provided essential nutrients to the tree, while other roots were embedded in soil that was polluted with poison, and of course, did much harm to the tree. Further, the illustration showed that this tree was a hiding place for the ravens.
I will never forget this illustration as this is what is happening to fellowships and entire denominations within the Christian church today. Bad roots eventually produce bad fruit. While this should be obvious to those who say they believe the Bible, that’s not always the case. The human beings, who make up the tree, cannot see because they are part of the tree, and they have become blinded. It would be easy to recover from this blindness if they would only turn to the Word of God to gain understanding and discernment.

Christianity is full of examples of tree-like denominations full of ravens because Satan is the master deceiver, and he knows that men follow men instead of Jesus. While the Roman Catholic Church claims to be the Mother of All Churches we know this is not true. Jesus said His church would be built upon the true cornerstone. And He is that cornerstone. [4]. When we follow men instead of Jesus Christ, we have the ingredients for a spiritual disaster. Such is the case that we will try to analyze in the rest of this commentary.

A Counterfeit spirit is not the Holy Spirit?

Wouldn’t it make sense that if the Holy Spirit points the lost to the truth, then a counterfeit spirit called “another spirit” points those who are lost toward deception? This is the devil’s plan as recorded in the Bible. In our research, we have discovered this is one of Satan’s favorite strategies. How many have believed they have been led by the Spirit of God when later it becomes obvious that they had been seduced by a spirit of deception? This is why it is so important to have discernment, which only comes from knowing God’s Word and allowing His Spirit to lead us.

For example, I have known people who believed they were being blessed by the Spirit of God because they laughed hysterically, barked like a dog, slithered on the floor like a snake, or even clucked like a chicken. At first, they said they were not sure if it was God that was causing them to behave that way. Their line of thought went like this: if it was God, they did not want to miss out on what God was doing; thus they were willing to take the risk.

As you can see this line of reasoning is not reasonable. What if it was not God that was causing them to behave in these unusual ways? Would that mean they had been deceived by Satan? This is a serious situation
History shows the danger there is in following a man or woman who claims to be a Christian because he or she has an ability of making people “feel” like they are being influenced by the Holy Spirit.

On a number of occasions, I have heard testimonies from people who were first-hand witnesses of the “Jesus Movement.” They give testimony that one of the leaders had the ability to make them feel like the “spirit” was “flowing all over them.” The person who is speaking in the following clip states there would never have been a Calvary Chapel movement or a Vineyard Movement without Lonnie Frisbee who acted very strangely:



Here is another example of a testimony from a person who claims that Lonnie Frisbee had an “anointing” called a mantle. Today, there are those who believe there is about to be another Jesus movement and that this so-called anointing that Frisbee had is about to be released.



Now, here are the facts. Feelings can be very deceptive. Feelings or emotions should never be relied upon for determining truth and the presence of the Holy Spirit. Believing that one can receive a transferable anointing from a man or an object is nothing more than witchcraft. Following a man under the influence of drugs is not following Jesus and His Word.

Many who were under such an influence felt all kinds of things. They even saw things that were in their minds as the result of LSD. How much confidence would you put in a person who said he was a convert of Jesus Christ who was stoned Saturday night and then preached Sunday morning? Is it possible that “another Jesus” was often represented during this former Jesus movement?

Can Bad Roots Produce Bad Fruit?

While God saves sinners from all sin, does this mean that sin can be covered up by ignoring that sin never happened? Further, there is another piece of evidence that needs to be considered. It is possible to start out right and to end up wrong, isn’t it? What if a group becomes so proud of themselves they refuse to be corrected. Remember, pride comes before a fall.

Now that we are living in a time of great deception predicted by the Bible as the Last Days, is it possible that the ravens are coming home to roost in the dead branches of the trees? Could those branches have died because the roots absorbed poison by certain false doctrines that crept in unawares? Would the dead branches be the perfect nesting place for the enemies of God who are out to destroy all those who truly follow Jesus Christ?
Some time ago, after doing some research and gathering of the facts, I became suspicious because of some of the testimonies that I heard about the roots of the Jesus Movement. Here is one example that you can listen to and watch and see for yourself:



Furthermore, let us consider the connection of Kathryn Kuhlman with the Jesus Movement. She was a promoter of the Protestant Charismatic movement and in ecumenical unity with Rome. Does that sound an alarm? How can someone who has partnered with Rome be part of a true Jesus Movement?

Anyone who has done their research knows that the Jesuit plan is to bring the separated brethren back to the Roman Catholic Church. The Roman Catholic Jesus is the Eucharistic Jesus and must be worshiped in a container called a monstrance. (See Another Jesus? The Eucharistic Christ and the New Evangelization by Oakland with Tetlow).

A number of things do not line up. Would those who have discernment please stand up? Please watch the following video clip of Lonnie Frisbee and Kathyrn Kuhlman:



While I am not saying that no one was saved during that time, I am saying that godly discernment was not used by the leaders of the Jesus Movement just as godly discernment is not being used by today’s Christian leaders either.

How devious is Satan?

Have you ever considered what spiritual deception is? We should never underestimate Satan’s ability to dupe the world or the church. In fact, the Bible teaches that a counterfeit church will be prepared for a counterfeit “Christ” in the last days. This means that pastors and church leaders who once were strong Bible believers and teachers will be seduced and become pawns of the deceiver. This is what is called the Great Falling Away.

So, the question is this: are we living in the very days that the Bible predicts this will happen? Could it be that another spirit is preparing the way for another Christ, and another gospel is masquerading to prepare the way for the harlot?

This is a time to check your faith and test all that you believe with the Scriptures. Finally, remember the tree with the ravens in the branches. Bad roots can produce branches that are unproductive that may even be the nesting place for false teachers that come home to roost. Check out the roots of the tree that your faith is based upon.

One final thing! Please watch the following video clip of Skip Heitzig’s 2010 production called Riptide. Skip promotes Lonnie Frisbee and Kathyrn Kuhlman as if they were heroes of the faith. It also promotes “another Jesus movement.”



Is it possible that this proposed new Jesus Movement that is being created will partner with the Second Pentecost that is being promoted by the Roman Catholic Charismatic Movement? That would mean that this proposed another Jesus movement would be the equivalent of “Another Jesus” movement also called the Eucharistic Reign of Jesus.

Time will tell, won’t it?

TOM HORN ON THE LOST SYMBOL

Thomas Horn at the Southwest Radio Bristol Conference 2011 hints at the incredible reasons he wrote the best selling book "Apollyon Rising 2012" and what ancient pagan cultures and founding Freemasons in the United States believed and encoded on the Great Seal and the layout of Capitol Center in Washington DC concerning the coming of a Pagan god in 2012. This would not be believable if not for Tom Horn's credentials and access to scholars in history, theology, and occultism, two-dozen of whom helped him with this book.

Commentary from Understand The Times: The Demise of Mega Corporate Churches By the Jesuit Plan Known as the Counter Reformation

Introduction

For some time, Understand The Times has been warning pastors of churches that were formerly considered to be Protestant and evangelical about the spiritual deception that is currently underway and seducing them into the One World Religion. As time has passed, it seems that these leaders no longer consider themselves Protestant or evangelical. They are ecumenical.  Instead of protesting against the rule of Rome, they are now actually partners with Rome and even promoting a globalist Dominionist plan to transform the world in what they believe is a great revival or great awakening. While many innocent sheep follow these pastors and leaders and do not realize what is happening, the Lord is calling watchmen and watchwomen to sound the alarm. The question is, how many are listening?

These watchmen and watchwomen are concerned about apostate leaders who should know better, but they are saying and doing nothing to warn about the apostasy. In fact they are promoting apostasy as if it is not happening. While the sheep may consider their leaders to be supporters of the gospel and therefore evangelical, it is apparent one cannot be on the road to Rome and also be promoting the gospel of Jesus Christ that we find in the Scriptures. Either you are for Jesus Christ and against apostasy, or you are against Jesus Christ and for apostasy. Ecumenism and joining hands with the world religions is not of God. There is one God, Jesus Christ our Creator and our Redeemer.As time passes, there are fewer warning about how close we are  to the demise of biblical Christianity.  Many who once were blowing the trumpet have now either gone to sleep or they have forgotten what  they once believed to be important.  The Counter Reformation started by Rome and the Jesuits continues today unnoticed by the apostate  churches that are uniting with Rome for many different reasons. They have lost their way as they have been  sidetracked by a number of things – love of money, power, and prestige. They have even changed their view  on the Word of God and what it teaches about the return of Christ. Some pastors say that Jesus did not even  warn about apostasy as a sign of His soon return. They claim that a P.E.A.C.E. Plan and a One World Religion is much more important and we should spend our time and energy working together to solve our social problems. We have personally been involved in trying to wake up church leaders who are leading their flocks astray. Either they know they are deceived and are covering up what they are doing, or they are ignorant of what they are doing and just deluded. Either way, our experience has not been good. These leaders do not want the light to shine upon the very darkness they have allowed to creep in. Instead of checking and correcting the course in which they travel, they spread  lies and rumors about those who are confronting them with the truth. They do exactly what the religious leaders did in Jeremiah’s day. They ignore the message and proclaim that the messengers have lost their minds. While we have been threatened by pastors who have told us to “shut up” and that God “hates us for dividing  the brethren,” let me publically state that dividing the brethren is not our desire or intention. While we realize we  cannot judge the motives since only God sees the heart, it is biblical to be inspectors of fruit. What may look like good fruit may not always be good fruit. A pastor can appear full of love and beaming with smiles behind the pulpit,  but in his office and behind his desk, he can exhibit a personality like a despot. So which pastor is the real pastor –  Pastor A or Pastor B? Paul said it very clearly and with words of warning with regard to how some spiritual leaders can appear: But what I do, that I will do, that I may cut off occasion from them which desire occasion; that wherein they glory, they may be found even as we. For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness;  whose end shall be according to their works.[1]                                                                     The Great Delusion and the Lie The Scriptures reveal that the Last Days will be a time of great deception and even strong delusion. 2 The reason for this is simple. Satan, the god of this world, has a plan to deceive the world and the church in  the name of the Savior. In order for this to happen, the greatest deception in the history of mankind must be  pulled off in the Last Days. Those who once believed the truth will fall away from the truth. Worse than that, the truth  will be replaced by the lie which apparently the whole world will believe. The world and the world’s religions will also  be duped into embracing a One World Government and a One World economy headed up by the antichrist. The Bible forewarns this will happen, a plan authored by man and inspired by Satan. This best can be described as  the three-legged stool or 6-6-6 Plan that we read about in Revelation chapter fourteen. For those who have followed the plans of Rick Warren and Tony Blair, it should be obvious this plan is underway. Those who warn others about this plan are called the “resistors” and are being silenced, removed, or ridiculed for their stance against the  “new thing” that “God” is doing. As one would expect, this plan would not just happen overnight or in a couple of weeks. In fact as one looks at an overview of Church history, we can see there have been numerous attempts by Satan to wipe out those who have held to biblical faith.  If he can convince people to believe they are followers of the biblical and  historic Jesus when instead they are set up to follow a man who claims that he is Jesus Christ, the ultimate delusion will have been pulled off.                                                                 This is what the Bible says will happen in the Last Days.                                                                     The Counter- Reformation The best way of understanding Satan’s agenda is to analyze this spiritual deception in light of what we call the Counter Reformation. While we do not intend to lay out all the details here, understand that Satan uses human pawns to pull off his bidding. History bears this out. If humans are going to be used as pawns in an organized way then someone or some organization must be involved. Again, one needs to be a student of church history to see the whole picture. Most church goers today know nothing about church history. They know nothing about the many who gave their lives because they were dedicated to the truth – this martyrdom of saints began with the disciples and continued right on past the reformation.  Most today know nothing of the masses that were slaughtered by the Roman Catholic Church during the Counter Reformation or the Inquisition. They are clueless that the Counter Reformation is still underway today and that the hope and final goal of the Counter Reformation is to have the world bow to the pope in Rome as the pontiff who represents Jesus Christ here on earth and establishes the ‘Kingdom of God” here on earth with the “presence” of Jesus. The players presently playing this ecumenical role are the Jesuits. Lighthouse Trails and Understand The Times recently wrote a commentary exposing the Jesuit plan. These clever deceivers have a calculated plan to win back the separated brethren to the Mother of All Churches in Rome.  When we read the Bible, we know there must be a global religion for peace that embraces all religions in the name of the Savior. If Bible believing churches are not going to stand up and warn about this deception, they will eventually become part of the deception. Writing the book Faith Undone was an attempt to warn this generation what is going on as the emerging church clearly and cleverly devised a plan to bring this ecumenical unity about.                                                     The Effects of the Emerging Church Faith Undone explained how the road to Rome is being established through the  introduction of mysticism, contemplative practices, and outright Peter Drucker  and Rick Warrenism; but writing and publishing this book has not been without a high cost - since the book was released, an all out assault from Satan  has mounted to stop its warning. Faith is truly being undone, and the Word of God is under attack; those who love the  Word of God can see it even though they are only a remnant. Jesus asked the question that is recorded in Luke 18:8: “When the Son of Man  returns will He find faith?” If this is the indicator of how bad the deception will be, what should those who still have biblical faith be doing? It should be no surprise then if we are living in the last days that there would be signs indicating the final falling away is underway. We believe this is the case.   Pastors and leaders who were once looked up to as great men of God are showing signs that they are willingly following various avenues to Rome. Whether they know they are being deceived or not may be difficult to prove because they often keep silent. However their silence is deafening. It is hard to understand how a born again Christian can show any support whatsoever toward the ecumenical apostasy. If you are not publically against ecumenical apostasy, could your silence possibly be an indicator that you are likely for it? Many pastors and Christian figures are forming alliances they would never have before. At one time, these pastors warned the sheep to look out for dominionist political/religious agendas and to remain steadfast boldly proclaiming the gospel according to the Scriptures. Now, the picture is much different - these pastors who say nothing about ecumenism allow themselves to be infiltrated by spokespersons whom they never would have allowed in their pulpits before. Some of these bad alliances are made with men who are knowingly aligned with Rome and the Roman Catholic Dominionist agenda to take over America and the world for “Jesus.” While this happens, many of the sheep don’t see. The wool is being pulled over their eyes. The shepherds have become wolves in sheep’s clothing. Another gospel and another Jesus is being prepared because there is another spirit at work. This counterfeit plan looks so good to those who do not have discernment that they cannot and will not say anything about it. Worse yet, there are leaders of churches who claim “God is with them” while all the time  they are fleecing the flock.Sheep, because they look to men and not to Jesus, believe whatever their pastors tell them (or does not tell them). Satan’s strategy is to get men to follow men and their methods and movements rather than Jesus and His Word.  It’s the perfect setup for the final delusion when the world follows a man who is embodied by Satan.                                                      Judgement Will Begin in the House of the Lord Perhaps you are one of those who is aware of the trends that clearly show biblical Christianity is under attack. Maybe you have even tried to warn your pastor or the Board of your church, and they were not interested in hearing what you had to say. Over the past few years we have heard countless stories from people spread throughout the vast spectrum of church denominations who all have similar stories. Many have been asked to leave their churches because they would not participate in ecumenism or the contemplative eastern mystical practices that lead to the ecumenical delusion. While there are few signs at present that indicate help is on the way, the one thing we know is that Jesus said the Church of Jesus Christ will not be defeated. Jesus said “Upon this rock I will build my church.” The rock was not and is not Peter whom the Roman Catholics say was the first pope. The rock is the true foundation of the Church that is faith in Jesus Christ alone. While I do not claim to know the future when it comes to all that will happen in the present church, I believe it is safe to predict something that few are predicting: the death of the churches that operate like  corporations is just on the horizon. While this may sound foolish to those who have built up their invincible empires which include properties all over the world, radio stations and radio networks, many are detecting that something is terribly wrong. These churches have become nothing more than big businesses driven by greed. The pastors are the CEOs. Their boards are made up of puppets or “yes” men who have little or no power. Many of these large institutions have been allowing sin in the camp for a long time. You’ve probably read about some of this on the Internet. What kinds of sins? Sexual misconduct brushed under the carpet and not dealt with; mishandling of donor funds; mishandling of and even illegal financial ventures overlooked and sometimes even encouraged; spiritual abuse against church members by pastors and elders who have become arrogant and proud, and so on. But I believe God is going to judge the house of the Lord before He judges the world. Scripture tells us that the things done in secret will be exposed and brought to the light. Just like it says in the Bible, your sins will  find you out.  When this happens and the lines are drawn between the dots, many sheep will be so devastated they will  not be able to cope. How tragic. The men they trusted in have let them down.                                                                 Come Out of Her This is a time in history that every professing Christian leader and pastor should take very soberly. It is a time for true humility and true repentance. If there is not humility and repentance, Christian pastors and leaders need to know –  your sin will indeed find you out. Better to willingly humble yourself and repent than to wait for God to bring His hand of judgment upon you. If you are leader who is part of the apostasy come out from among her; if you are a leader  who is sitting on the sidelines in utter silence while spiritual havoc is taking place, humble yourself and repent and  you too, come out from among her. The days are short – there is no time for any believer to compromise. The Word of God not only helps us to understand our times and the agenda to lead the poor sheep on a path  towards spiritual suicide, the Scriptures also give us a clear solution. The harlot is the counterfeit bride that is  prepared for the antichrist. Surely we can see this happening. The true Church will not disappear but remain  triumphant even though faith in Jesus Christ will be a rare commodity. Come out of her, means just that. If you are caught in the web of deception that has been woven by the many  tentacles of the strong delusion, now is the time to be bold and take a stand. In the circles that I have been part of  for the last three decades, few pastors that I know are willing to separate from the comfort of their position or the  security of their job. We are in the final stages of the delusion, and God is warning loud and clear. The Word of God has never changed.  Either you are for Jesus Christ, or you are against Him. There is still time to repent and do what is right. Will you be  counted in that number?
