VI. Selected prophecies regarding the two Christianities
It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter.
(Proverbs 25:2)
Since Daniel 2:36-44 predicted four world empires, and the last one will be destroyed by “the God of Heaven,” the Roman Empire never fell but still exists in another form: From Emperors to Popes. According to Mc Brien, newly elected Popes were crowned like Emperors (1).
Since the Reformation, every Evangelical Christian Bible expositor has identified the little horn of Daniel 7:8, 21 with the papacy, which according to Daniel, occurs during the fourth and last kingdom, that is the Roman Empire.
According to Daniel 7:25, the little horn (the Papacy) will prevail against the saints for 1260 prophetic days or 1260 years. This is the same time period mentioned in Revelation 11:2; 11:3; 12:6; 12:14; and 13:5. Since the papacy exercises both spiritual and temporal authority, the question is: when do you start counting? According to C. H. Hewitt (2), the spiritual power started in the year AD 606 when Emperor Phocas of Constantinople officially conferred on Pope Boniface III, the title of “Universal Bishop”; and the temporal power started in 755, with the Pepin III-Stephen III deal. Essentially, Pope Stephen III offered Pepin III a deal he could not refuse: give me the exarchate of Ravenna and I will anoint you king. So now, we have two starting times, which one? Without the temporal power to enforce the spiritual power, the latter is not worth much. The temporal power is second chronologically, but it is the first Pillar of Rome in importance. Regarding the temporal power, Alexander Del Mar (3), based on studies of coins and other documents, dated the Pepin III donation and therefore the beginning of the temporal power in the year AD752. Of possible interest is the fact that during that year, AD752, three Popes ruled successively and two Popes died: Zacharias and Stephen II.
If you add 1260 years to AD752, you get AD2012, the same year the Mayan Calendar identifies as the end of the era or great cycle of Querzacoalt or Plummed Serpent (4).
You may conclude that Satan was able to prophesy the end of his time in advance. That would be true if he was not told about it by someone else. In Matthew 8:28, 29, the devils who possessed the two men, asked Jesus Christ if He came to torment them before their time was over.
And when he was come to the other side into the country of the Gergesenes, there met him two possessed with devils, coming out of the tombs, exceeding fierce, so that no man might pas by that way.
And, behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God? Art thou come hither to torment us before the time?
(Matthew 8:28,29)
Obviously, they were told how much time they had left and they knew that Jesus Christ knew about that time period also.
The year of the next Jubilee according to the Hebrew calendar will start on Thursday, Sept. 16, 2004 and will end on Monday, Oct. 3, 2005 (5). That is 7 years before 2012, the year biblically prophesied to end the Roman Empire and the Papacy. Anyone awake would realize that the world has been under the Roman yoke for over 2000 years. The year of Jubilee occurred every 50 years and it was the year of liberation, of emancipation from slavery. The Rapture of the Evangelical Christian Church is very near.
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 will rise first:
Then 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.
(I Thessalonians 4:16,17)
To find out what will be happening on planet Earth during the 7 year interval between the Rapture and the Return, let us consult a precious little book entitled Prophecy for Today, by Edward Connor, published by TAN Books, Rockford, Illinois in 1956, Reprinted in 1984. Chapter 5 has the heading, “The Great Monarch and the Angelic Pastor.” Essentially, this is an account of the book of Revelation, but with reversed roles for Jesus Christ and the two beasts. Jesus Christ is called the Antichrist; the false prophet (the Pope) is called the Angelic Pastor and the Great Pope. The Beast is called The Great Monarch. The false prophet is the one identified by the apostle John as the antichrist in 1 John 2:18.
Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, (1 John 2:18)
Some selected quotes from chapter 5 of Prophecy for Today will give you an idea of how totally zombified Imperial Christianity views the situation:
“All nations shall recognize the Holy See of Rome, and shall pay homage to the Pope” (pg. 30).
The Risen Pope will be worshiped as divinity, the incarnation of the Eucharistic Jesus, the Ecumenical Jesus, acceptable to everyone.
“All nations will be brought to the unity of the true Catholic Faith” (pg. 36).
Essentially, the sanctification of Sunday and worship of Satan as Queen of Heaven and “her” son the Risen Antichrist.
“The Great Monarch will assist the Pope in the Reformation of the whole Earth” (pg. 30)
There is some indication that the lily of the Bourbon Dynasty is associated with the Great Monarch. The king of Spain is a Bourbon. Expect a repeat of the Spanish Inquisition worldwide, run by the Jesuits, the Franciscan and Dominican orders. According to Tim Cohen (6), Prince Charles has more credentials than the king of Spain, Juan Carlos (John Charles), for qualification as the assistant of the pope, that is Charles VI. History dictates otherwise, however. Remember the Spanish Armada sent by the pope to depose Queen Elizabeth I of England? Spain and Portugal have always been the enforcers of the pope’s decrees, never Great Britain.
“The reign of the Great Ruler may be compared with that of Caesar Augustus” (pg. 35).
The Great Ruler will be worshipped as a god, just like Augustus was. Augustus was claimed to be the son of the sungod Appollo and his virgin wife, Maya, also called Maria. Will the same claim be made concerning Pope John Paul II? When the pope said: “totus tuus, sum, Maria,” was he addressing Appollo’s wife as Augustus did 2,000 years ago? Senators may become an endangered species if the Great Ruler adopts the senatoricidal habit of Augustus.
“There will no longer be Protestants and Schismatics” (pg. 34).
This is further evidence for the Rapture occurring prior to this event.
Malachi Martin (7), the late Jesuit priest who was very close to the Supreme Pontiff, observed that Pope John Paul II is waiting for a cataclysmic event before the beginning of his ministry. Apparently, the pope is waiting underground:
“He (the Pope) is waiting, rather, for an event that will fission human history, splitting the immediate past from the oncoming future. … John Paul’s waiting and watching time will then be over. His ministry as the Servant of the Grand Design will then begin.”
Can you think of a better description of the Rapture? Obviously, the Most High has put a restraining order on Satan and the Antichrist (the future Risen Pope) until the Rapture.
“The Great Monarch and the Great Pope will preceed Antichrist” (pg. 33).
“This will be the end and consummation of the Empire of Rome and immediately afterward, Antichrist will come” (pg. 31).
Since Jesus Christ is the one who will destroy the Roman Empire, they are calling Jesus Christ the Antichrist! Amazing but still an abomination!!
“I saw the Holy Father in a big house. He was kneeling before a table holding his face in his hands and he was weeping” (pg. 39).
It is definitely not a happy ending for Imperial Christianity. Obviously, the Lake of Fire will not be a pleasant place to spend eternity. It does not have to end that way for Imperial Christians. Get well informed about the Word of God and act accordingly. It is not too late.
And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory. And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.
For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies. And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. (Revelation 18:1-4)
If you identify yourself with “my people” of Revelation 18:4, Jesus Christ is calling you out of Imperial Christianity. You have an open invitation to spend eternity with your Creator and Redeemer, Jesus Christ.
All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. (John 6:37)
There will only be two places available for men to spend eternity: the New Jerusalem under the New Heaven and on the New Earth of Revelation chapters 21 and 22; or the lake of fire of Revelation 20: 14, 15.
Regarding the New Jerusalem, Paul stated:
But as it is written, eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. (1 Corinthians 2:9)
Regarding the lake of fire, Alice A. Bailey gives us some insight into the outcome of various initiations (8):
“One great fact to be borne in mind is, that the initiations of the planet or of the solar system are but the preparatory initiations of admission into the greater Lodge on Sirius” (pg. 17).
“The consummation of all for this solar system will be when the Logos takes His fifth initiation. When all the sons of men attain the fifth initiation, He achieves. This is a great mystery and incomprehensible to us” (pg. 99).
Why is it a great mystery Alice?
“At the fifth initiation the great secret which concerns the fire or spirit aspect is revealed to the wondering and amazed Master, and He realizes in a sense incomprehensible to man the fact that all is fire and fire is all” (pg. 175).
So, after zillions of years of initiation, the Most Worshipful Master finally realizes that He is in the Lake of Fire but He does not comprehend what is really happening!
Following Lucifer’s rebellion (Isaiah 14:12-16), and expulsion from God’s Habitation, Lucifer, now named Satan (the Adversary) was relocated with his angels in the Lake of Fire (Matthew 25:41), at a place called the Greater Lodge of Osiris on Sirius by Satan’s worshippers (8) somewhere on the Sirius Tristellar Complex. It is very clear in Matthew 25:41 that the Lake of Fire was prepared to receive Satan and his angels only. No human being was intended. However, man can choose to spend eternity there by not accepting God’s gracious mean of salvation. Satan and his angels do not have this option.
In the Egyptian Book of the Dead (9) written some 2,000 years B.C., the Lake of Fire is mentioned as the location of the throne of Osiris/Isis and of the future throne of Horus (The Antichrist).
“… he shall rule in the mount of the dead. Verily his son Horus is seated upon the throne of the dweller in the double Lake of Fire, as his heir.”
“May I abide upon the earth lastingly, may I keep possession of my throne, may my enemies be given to destruction”
The fulfillment of the above wishes are dependant on Horus (the Antichrist) avenging his father Osiris (Satan) successfully against Typho (Jesus Christ), at the battle of Armageddon.
Following his expulsion from God’s Habitation, until the fall of Eve and Adam, Satan’s residence was in the Lake of Fire located somewhere on the Sirius Tristellar Complex. The time interval between Satan’s expulsion from God’s Habitations and the fall of Eve and Adam is unknown. After the fall, Satan regained access to God’s Throne as mediator between fallen man and their Creator. He performed this role for some 4,000 years, commuting between the Lake of Fire, Planet Earth and God’s Habitation. At the time the Ancient Egyptians worshipped Osiris/Satan as the great mediatorial god, and the Sirius Tristellar Complex as the location of the throne of Isis/Osiris (See Chapter III), Satan was indeed the mediator between God and fallen man, but not such a great mediator, being instead the accuser of mankind, according to God’s word (Revelation 12:10).
Osiris/Satan was not very impressed with his new residence in the Lake of Fire, that is why he wants to keep possession of planet earth.
“Saith Osiris…What manner of land is this into which I have come? It hath not water, it hath not air; it is deep unfathomable, it is black as the blackest night” (9).
Over the past 2,000 years, Satan and his angels have been confined to planet earth: No more interstellar traveling. After the Return of Jesus Christ, Satan will spend 1,000 years of solitude at a Retreat Center in the Bottomless Pit monastery while the Antichrist (Horus) and his assistant will become the first permanent residents in the Lake of Fire. Satan, his angels and the dammed will join them 1,000 years later. After the White Throne Judgment, the Lake of Fire will be “sealed” without access to the New Jerusalem, the New Heavens and the New Earth. It is stated in Isaiah 34:4: “The heavens shall be rolled together as a scroll”. The Lake of Fire will be in another dimension.
The bride of the Antichrist composed of Satanist “Jews” and United Paganism will enjoy a short honeymoon of 7 years. After the honeymoon, the Antichrist will go to the Lake of Fire to prepare a place for his bride. He will have 1,000 years to get his act together.
You may ask: What is going to happen to the Queen of Heaven?
And all the host of heaven shall be dissolved, and the heavens shall be rolled together as a scroll: and all their host shall fall down, as the leaf falleth off from the vine, and as a falling fig from the fig tree. (Isaiah 34:4)
What about little Jesus? He will have no one to guide Him?
If you mean the Eucharistic Jesus, that is the antichrist, he will be cast alive in the Lake of Fire at the return of Jesus Christ, 1,000 years before Satan joins him. (Revelation 19:20). If you mean the Creator of heaven and earth and Redeemer of mankind, what you are going to read is awesome:
That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. (Philippians 2:10,11)
What about the invincible sun deity we worship on his venerable day, Sunday?
He is as invincible as the Imperial Christian Spanish Armada which set sail against Evangelical Christian England more than 400 years ago. In response to prayers from Evangelical Christians, the Most High blew that Armada to pieces and to shame. The Most High will throw the Book at that invincible sun deity, who is Satan. He will nail him. This will be the longest prison term known to mankind: 1000 years.
And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, (Revelation 20:1,2)
After 1,000 years, Satan is released on parole. But he gets into trouble again.
And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, and shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle the number of whom is as the sand of the sea. (Revelation 20:7,8)
He is finally given a life sentence, and joins the two Beasts who preceded him by 1,000 years. When you read Revelation 20:10, remember that in Imperial Christian prophesies, the beast of Revelation is the Great Monarch and the false prophet of Revelations is the Angelic Pastor.
And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever. (Revelation 20:10)
One of the possible reasons why Satan is tormented day and night is the fact that the beast and false prophet, called the Great Monarch and the Angelic Pastor in Imperial Christian prophesies, could claim spiritual and temporal authorities in the Lake of Fire. They will be the first permanent residents in the Lake of Fire, one thousand years before Satan joins them. During the Messianic Kingdom of 1,000 years, Satan will be in the bottomless pit, whereas the beast and false prophet will be cast alive in the lake of Fire. (Revelation 20:1-3, 10). Can you picture Satan requesting a building permit, which is denied? Apparently, Satan will be just an average citizen in the Lake of Fire and he will be ridiculed:
All they shall speak and say unto thee, Art thou also become weak as we? art thou become like unto us? (Isaiah 14:10)
Satan will have to wait in line just like everybody else when he goes to a live performance of Dionysus with his satyrs; when he attends the Olympic games; when he goes to a rock concert. What a bummer!
Since Imperial Christianity is heading for the Lake of Fire, what should Imperial Christians do? Organize home bible study groups. Use the Textus receptus, which is the King James translation in the English language. Pray to the Heavenly Father in the name of His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, with a request to guide you by the Holy Spirit in your quest for the Truth.
Search the Scriptures as recommended by Jesus Christ and guided by the Holy Spirit, than decide whom you will serve:
Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life:
and they are they which testify of me. Jesus Christ (John 5:39)
If you accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, the Holy Spirit, after convicting you as a mortal sinner based on The Ten Commandments, becomes your constant guide, gives you a discerning mind and helps you keep His Ten Commandments. (See Appendix III).
And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them. (Ezekiel 36:27)
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. (John 14:26)
But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him. (1 John 2:27)
There are so many wolves under sheepskin masquerading as Evangelical Christian Pastors and Reverends that it is safer to let the Holy Spirit guide you to real disciples of Jesus Christ. For example, if you hear a “Reverend” preach about the greatness of St. Augustine, and does not mention the name of Jesus Christ once, beware! St. Augustine promoted the idea of The Inquisition: “Compel them to come.” He believed that the kingdom of God on planet earth will come when the Pope and the Roman catholic Church rule over the world. The Inquisition was implemented by the Dominican order. According to McBrien (1), “The order is governed according to the Rule of St. Augustine …”. Trust the Holy Spirit to give you pastors according to God’s heart.
And I will give you pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding. (Jeremiah 3:15)
In a nutshell, since the fall of Eve and Adam, the whole world has been under Satan who is the spiritual head of the Imperial Christian Church. To serve Satan, you don’t have to do anything to qualify, you are pre-qualified. Every human being is born in the Imperial Christian Church, which is heading straight toward the Lake of Fire.
As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; (Romans 3:10,23)
However, to serve the Creator and Redeemer, you have to do something: Believe that Jesus Christ is who He claims to be and accept Him as your Lord and Savior, pure and simple. Remember that there is no such thing as group salvation by belonging to a Church and practicing a Religion that claims to be Christian. Salvation is a personal matter between you, a mortal sinner, and a just but gracious Creator and Redeemer.
“The days are approaching when men will be manifestly ranged on one side or the other. Their very countenances will proclaim whether they belong to God and the Lamb, or to Satan and the Antichrist. No half-measures will be allowed; but men will be compelled definitely to make their choice, and to be numbered either for God unto eternal life, or for the man of sin unto eternal perdition” (10).
The reward that the Creator gives to His disciples is unbelievable:
He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son (Revelation 21:7)
The overcomer must be consistent and persistent.
And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved. (Matthew 10:22)
Once saved, always saved?? Not so, according to Jesus Christ in Matthew 10:22. The apostles Paul and Peter did not believe that “once saved, always saved.”
For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning.
For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have know it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them. (2 Peter 2:20-21)For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost,
And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come,
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. (Hebrews 6:4-6)
The disciple of Jesus Christ who overcomes the world “to the end” becomes an adopted son and daughter in God’s Family, living eternally in a perfect creation.
Thou art worthy, O Lord,
to receive glory and honour and power:
for thou hast created all things,
and for thy pleasure
they are and were created.
(Revelation 4:11)
