The Nicolatians, Who Are They?

Posted in Uncategorized on December 30, 2008 by gregloucks

Why is it that there aren’t more bible teachers and commentaries that plainly tell us that the Nicolatians are the “false prophets”…ie., wolves in sheeps clothing (false shepherds) in other words, imposter Christians that is plainly alluded to in the text? The apostle John also warned us about “Diotrophes” in his 3rd epistle which was written to beloved Gauis. Diotrophes sought to “conquer” the “people” with presumed authority that was not of God for he was not walking according to the truth. The truth is “servanthood” and love among brothers who walk according to the truth and not leadership according to clergy-like titles such as “Reverand”, “Pastor”, “Dr” etc., that one sees so prevalent in the Protestant churches and “Father”, “Bishop” and “Arch Bishop” one sees in the Catholic churces. The meaning of Nicolatian is to conquer the people…to lord it over them.


Rev 2:2 I know your works and your labor and your patience, and how you cannot bear those who are evil. And you tried those pretending to be apostles, and are not, and have found them liars.


Rev 2:6 But you have this, that you hate the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.


When our Lord Jesus Christ walked among men, He taught His disciples to beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, whom He denounced as hypocrites. With them He classed the chief priests and officials of the temple, together with the recognized teachers, (scribes, or “professors” Ferrar Fenton Translation) in the Synagogues. He declared they had so corrupted the truth of God, which they were supposed to preach, with the doctrines and ordinances of men, that the truth, as originally given, was no longer with them. That which these blind leaders of the blind were giving forth as truth of God was making their converts twofold more the children of hell than they were before accepting the [schi]ism by these corrupt teachers.

Do Not Become Exalted

Therefore, as a warning to those who were joining themselves to Him, the Lord said that these non-spiritual men made long prayers for a “pretense,” a public “show” which, while having a form of humility, was for the purpose only of being seen of men. What these men really loved were the highest seats in the Synagogues; the uppermost rooms at the public feasts; the greetings they received in the market places from truly humble and sincere men, whom they hoped would esteem them as superiors, and who addressed them as Rabbi, Rabbi, my master, my master. But our Lord commanded:

“Be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren …. Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, even Christ. But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant,” (Matthew 23:8-11).

This was a double command for a double purpose:

Do not allow men who are your brethren in Christ, and who compose the assembly of God, to call you Master, for One alone is your Master.

Do not allow yourself to become possessed with such a carnal spirit that you want men who belong to the body of Christ to call you “Master.”
Hypocrites

Also, added to the carnal desire to be “uppermost” in the eyes of the Lord’s people, these leaders were charged with extortion and accused of devouring the homes of widows, and of excess. Jesus accused them of being hypocrites who aspired to be regarded as dignitaries of the congregations of the Most High God. Such conditions as described exist only in the assemblies across whose ethical portals, before the God of Holiness, has been written the name, “Ichabod” — the glory of the Lord has departed.

The word “excess,” as used above, means the carnal abuse of lawful things; things lawful and right carried to extremes. For it is true that there is a legal and God approved honor given to certain selected ones:

“We beseech you, brethren, to know them which labour among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you; and to esteem them very highly in love for their work’s sake. And be at peace among yourselves,” (1Thessalonians 5:12-13).
“Let the elders that rule well [guide; lead; preside well] be counted worthy of double honor, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine,” (1Timothy 5:17).

Guide, not Rule

Why guide and lead, instead of rule? Because those who are over us in the Lord are shepherds who must lead and guide, but not dominate. Rule is arbitrary government, and the Church may be “subject to Christ” only. “One is your Master, even Christ.” The following Divine instruction is from one of the inspired Spirit-filled elders:

“The elders which are among you exhort, who am also an elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed. Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight [not rulership] thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind; Neither as being lords over God’s heritage, but being ensamples to the flock,” (1Peter 5:1-3).
The “blind guides” would say, but not do. The Divinely anointed elder will both say and do, and thus be an example to the flock, whom the people will love and esteem very highly for his work’s sake, and who in his heart will never desire to be lord over the heritage of his Master. It is this aspiration on the part of men to become lords over God’s heritage that God hates. “The doctrine of the Nicolaitans (Nicolaitanes)” is just what the word Nicolaitan itself declares.

Proof:

In the book of the revelation of Jesus Christ, it is both “the deeds” and “the doctrine” of those in the two “churches” specified (Revelation 2:6, 15). The Lord demands repentance on the part of those who hold and practice these things and He threatens drastic punishment if they do not obey Him:
“Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth,” (Revelation 2:16).

The name, Nicolaitans (Nicolaitanes), is a compound word which is composed of three Greek words, and which, because of being a proper noun, is transferred instead of being translated into English. As thus transferred, it is subject to the laws of Greek construction in regard to ellipsis, contraction and phonetics.

The Greek words used in its construction are first: “Nikos,” of which we use the English equivalents instead of the Greek letters, as we shall also of the other two. Nikos is defined as “a conquest; victory; triumph; the conquered; and by implication, dominancy over the defeated.” Another transferred name in which this term is used is “Nicopolis,” i.e., Niko – conquest; polis city. Hence, the city of conquest, or city of victory. Also Andro — nikos a man of conquest, of victory.

The second term used in the name under consideration is “laos,” — people, another use of which is Nicolas, which is transferred and is composed of Nikoslaos and means one who is “victorious over the people,” the letter “s” being, in both words, the nominative case ending, which is retained only at the end of the word to denote the case, while “a” short and “o” short are contracted into “a” long.
Laodiceans

Also, a still further transferred use of “laos” is found in the name Lao(s)diceans, compounded with dike or dice as the Greek “k” is the equivalent English “c.” Thus, in the name Laodiceans, we have laos — “people” and dice judgment, or vengeance, i.e., the people of my judgment, or of my vengeance. Also the Greek word la(ic)os means “laymen,” of which laos is the root and stem, which selfsame word, with the “o” short contracted to “i”, to which root and stem the plural definite article ton is joined to form laiton — is a Greek phrase meaning “the laity.”

The third and last word entering into the construction of the proper name Nicolaitans (Nicolaitanes) is ton, in which omega, the long “o”, is contracted into long “a”, thus making the word “tan” which is the genitive case plural in all the genders of the definite article ‘the.’

Therefore, we have, without the legal Greek construction, the English hyphenated word Nickos-laoston, but which, with its lawful elisions and contractions, becomes the English name: Nicolaitans (Nicolaitanes), the full meaning of which, in its native tongue and in its ecclesiastical setting, is that the bishops and prelates of the Church have gained a triumphal victory or conquest over the laiton — the laity — until they have been compelled to submit to the arbitrary dominion of men who have become that thing which God hates – ‘Lords over God’s heritage’:

“The elders which are among you I exhort, who am also an elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed: Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight [thereof], not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind; Neither as being lords over [God's] heritage, but being ensamples to the flock. ” (1Peter 5:1-3, KJV)
Hierarchy has ranks

The evidence of this is found in all our common school dictionaries, among which we find the following definition of the term “hierarchy: the power of dominion, government by ecclesiastical rulers,” to which the following is introduced in evidence:

“If anyone shall say that there is not in the Catholic Church a hierarchy established by the divine ordination, consisting of bishops, presbyters and ministers, let him be anathema, Council of Trent (trans) XXIII 6.” (Century Dictionary.)
In other words, let anyone who will have the temerity to say there is not a hierarchy, not a collection of human beings, who have been given the power, by other men of dominion, as ecclesiastical rulers over churchmen, who are declaredly God’s heritage, let that man be accursed; i.e., let death and hell and the devil get him. Surely, the thing in which that ecclesiastical company is glorying is their shame!

Furthermore, Webster defines the word “episcopal” as

“the power of government, belonging to, or invested in, bishops or prelates. Government of the church by bishops.” Also “In episcopacy, the order of bishops is superior to the other clergy, and has exclusive power to confer orders.”
In this definition it is affirmed that a certain portion of presbyters (elders) were even “in apostolic times superior in authority to ordinary presbyters,” and also mentions the fact that episcopacy recognizes “episcopal rank” which is created by the institution thus governed; all of which affirms that any church in which episcopal government obtains is practicing the very carnal and fleshly iniquity of creating “Superiors” in what should be a holy brotherhood. The use of this appellation makes “inferiors” out of “brethren” who are in the selfsame clergy.

Rank Creates Divisions

The approbation of “ordinary elders” demands a “set” of elders who are superordinary, thus creating “rank” (caste) in the otherwise Divine brotherhood, all of which destroys holy fellowship, creates division and strife, and fosters envy. No marvel that our Lord should hate a thing like that, condemn it, and demand that those who are guilty shall repent.

But will they? Yes, some will when the tribulation is on. Others, however, will stick to their ecclesiastical crowd, vainly imagining that their boasted “superiority” will carry them through that time of the greatest trouble the world has ever known, or will know. They must go down with the rest of the hosts of anti-Christ.

And yet, one of the most unfortunate features of all this is that there are those in the Christian Church who do not hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitanes, but who practice “their deeds” of dominating the laity by lording it over the Church of Jesus Christ, which should be subject only to one Divine Master. It is often true that these have assumed this lordship because they are esteemed very highly in love for their work’s sake, but have become vainly puffed up in their fleshly mind. Beloved, “Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees.”

Don’t Believe Everything You Hear!

Is the Earth Overpopulated?

There are 640 acres in a square mile.

There are 57,268,900 square miles of land on earth.

There are approximately 6.7 billion people on earth.

640 Acres X 57,268,900 Square Miles = 36,652,096,000 (36 billion, 652 million) Acres of land on Earth.

That means each person can live comfortably on earth. Each person could own or live on approximately 6 acres each. Of course there are places in the mountains and the cold that are harsher climates to live on. Man has been known to brave the elementys and live in such harsh environments, near the Himalyas, close to the poles, etc. But, I heard technically speaking each person could own 1 acre of land in Australia, and the Queensland Territory would still be unoccupied! Australia being the smallest continent, and mostly tropical and desert and coastline! And do we all need to live in Australia? Of course not! And do we all need an acre? Not necessarily. There are families, and married people, and couples, and roommates and friends who live together and get along! That reduces the acres needed substantially, when some of the 6.7 billion people on earth live together!

Is Global Warming Proven Fact?
1. The Solar System Is Warming, Not Just the Earth/Globe. On planets that don’t support human life or any form of life! If you actually research enough NASA and science has proven the whole solar system goes through cycles of warming and cooling.

2. Al Gore’s Global Warming Debunked by Scientists and Even Kids! Maybe Al Gore didn’t invent the internet like he once said, but he did, invent global warming! Sadly a few weeks ago Al Gore and President elect Obama met about “Global Warming” it was all over the news!

3. The Sun Goes Through 11 year cycles of massive storms, active sunspots, etc.

Why Are They Feeding Us Lies Through the T.V.? Do you think this is the full extent of it? This is child’s stuff: What about wars? Terrorisms? The Economy? etc? Some might be propaganda and conspiracy theories, but I don’t trust them! Do you?

The Vatican exists today in the EU (European Union). It’s a city within a city. Vatican City is in Rome, the City of 7 hills, part of Italy, part of The European Union! (the 4th Kingdom Rome or 8th Revived Kingdom)



“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:



…So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.



And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:



And upon her forehead [was] a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.” (Revelation 17)

Ephesians 6:12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

Ever wonder where pagan “gods”/demons go after a civilization dies out? They won’t be cast into the Lake of fire until One day predestined!

I think they move onto new civilizations that are started. We find gods with the same characteristics, but different names! Like the Greek World Empire had gods that are relatively the same in the next world empire the Roman World Empire:

Check this out!:


TRIADS/TRINITY’S:


FATHER/KING, SON/PRINCE, QUEEN/MOTHER:


BABYLON:

Nimrod, Tammuz, Simerimas

Shamash, Sin, Ishtar


BACKSLIDDEN ISRAEL:

Baal, Tammuz, Ashtoreth


EGYPT:

Osiris, Horus, Isis


GREECE:

Zeus, Apollo, Athena


INDIA:

Brahama, Vishnu, Shiva


ROME:

Jupiter, Mars, Venus


CATHOLICISM (WHO’s THE BEAST IN REVELATION MENTIONED IN ANOTHER BLOG TODAY)

Father, Son, Holy Spirit

Jehovah, Jesus, Dove


(I know I’m going to hear from Christians on this blog, oh well! This blog goes with the others today! And no I’m not done! Modern day Christianity has adopted a lot of pagan doctrine (unknowingly) thanks to the Catholic church, the Beast of Revelation!-

Yes Catholics can truly be saved, and we blindly, ignorantly do things, even if we truly are saved, born-again. Paganism and the Prince of the Air, Satan, “the Morning Star” has plagued this world and it has had it’s effects on all of us in many ways even “the church”. Sadly even when Christians are shown things they want to argue and get upset, which is right before their very eyes!)

The World has Lived Cycles of all the World’s Major empires! to the Last one!

History Does Have a Habit of Repeating Itself!

Genesis 10:8-10 Cush was the father of Nimrod, who grew to be a mighty warrior on the earth. He was a mighty hunter before the LORD; that is why it is said, “Like Nimrod, a mighty hunter before the LORD.” The first centers of his kingdom were Babylon, Erech, Akkad and Calneh, in Shinar.

Genesis 11:1-9 Now the whole world had one language and a common speech. As men moved eastward, they found a plain in Shinar and settled there. They said to each other, “Come, let’s make bricks and bake them thoroughly.” They used brick instead of stone, and tar for mortar. Then they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city, with a tower that reaches to the heavens, so that we may make a name for ourselves and not be scattered over the face of the whole earth.” But the LORD came down to see the city and the tower that the men were building. The LORD said, “If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them. Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other.” So the LORD scattered them from there over all the earth, and they stopped building the city. That is why it was called Babel —because there the LORD confused the language of the whole world. From there the LORD scattered them over the face of the whole earth.


Revelation 17:5 This title was written on her forehead: MYSTERY BABYLON THE GREATTHE MOTHER OF PROSTITUTESAND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.

They will finish what Nimrod couldn’t! And the Lord wil come down like He did once before!

December 25th Celebration Repeating History

Posted in Uncategorized on December 26, 2008 by gregloucks

December 25th BEFORE Christ
Prior to the celebration of Christmas, December 25th (the winter solstice) was celebrated in Babylon as the birthday of Tammuz the sun god. In Egypt he was Horas and in Rome and Persia he was Mithra the “sun of righteousness.” All of these cultures were regarding the so called immaculate conception of the “sun god.” The basis of this celebration can be traced back to the kingdom of Nimrod.
After an incestuous relationship between Beltis, Nimrod’s wife and one of her sons Tammuz was born. Tammuz was claimed to be the reincarnation of Nimrod “god incarnate.” (Tammuz was said to be “the beginning and end, therefore immortal. Yet this so called pagan god of the sun was merely a mortal who was eventually killed by a wild boar.) This is the origin of the worship of the “Mother and Child.” Because of this, Beltis the mother of Tammuz, became known as “the mother’s husband -mother of god – queen of heaven.” This fable has been the basis of pagan worship on this date throughout history. This information can be found in most any encyclopedia.

December 25th AFTER Christ
Saturnalia “a roman holiday” from December 17th to the 24th was a week long festival with torch light processions, gift-giving and merry-making culminating in a winter solstice feast on December 25th, called Natilis Solis Invicti “the birth of the unconquerable sun,” meaning that now the sun begins to increase it’s strength after it had been at its lowest ebb. The approach of the feast was started with the Pontiff standing in front of Saturn’s temple exclaiming “Ho Saturnalia! Ho Saturnalia! Ho Saturnalia!” (Sounds a little like our modern Ho Ho Ho doesn’t it?) In 375 A.D. the Roman Catholic Church (which began the merging of paganism with Christianity) announced that the birth date of Christ would be celebrated on December 25th also. Thus many of the pagan traditions such as gift giving, feasting, merry making and (sun) rise services were incorporated into a new tradition called “Christmas.

…According to Babylonian tradition, Nimrod was transformed into a fir tree at death as was his son, Tammuz. The term ‘Yule’ is Chaldee for child. In medieval Germany the people worshipped a variant on that name, Tiwaz. When their prayers for victory were answered they hung the heads and spoils of those they killed in battle on the trees in their sacred groves. This is the origin of hanging ornaments on Christmas trees.”

Who Really is the Anti-Christ? Where Does He Come From?

Posted in Uncategorized on December 26, 2008 by gregloucks

And No It’s not Barack Obama like a lot have said these days in America! Though I agree he has anti-Christ characteristics!

Below I have shown 9 “markers” or “identifiers” of the Biblical Beast and the “man of sin” who will head up this Beast system.

1.) The Beast shall be the fourth Kingdom

Daniel had a vision about a beast with 7 heads and 10 horns. The Apostle John had the same vision in the book of Revelation.

Daniel 7:23 Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.

The word “Beast” in the book of Daniel points to empires or kingdoms. So what are these empires?

The overall list major world Empires throughout history is as follows:

1.) Egypt
2.) Assyria
3.) Babylon
4.) Medo-Persia
5.) Greece
6.) Rome
7.) America
8.) New World Order

So who is the fourth beast? Well in the days when Daniel was receiving this vision, Egypt & Assyria had already fallen. Daniel was living in the days of Babylon, and so the “fourth kingdom” into Daniel’s future was Rome. The “image” of a man shown to Daniel represents these empires:

1.) Babylon
2.) Medo-Persia
3.) Greece
4.) Rome

The Beast system is Rome, the 4th Kingdom on earth.

The Apostle John saw this same “Beast” in his present time, and this also was Rome.
Revelation 17: 10 And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.
The angel told John that there were five of these kings (or empires) that had already fallen (Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece). But the empire that was in power in John’s day (Rome) was the empire that was described as “one is” meaning that Rome “is” in power in the days when John was receiving this revelation.
These “seven kings” are the seven empires leading up to America. But also, this prophecy I believe applies to the “seven popes” since 1929 when Mussolini restored the office of the Papacy through the Lateran Treaty.
In 1798, Napoleon dethroned the Papacy, and the Vatican continued as a church only but no longer as a monarchy or a nation. Then in 1929, the newspaper headlines across the world read “DEADLY WOUND OF THE PAPACY HEALED AFTER MANY YEARS.” This was a fulfillment of prophecy as the angel told John that the beast….was, and is not, and yet is.
This was referring to the Papacy. The Papacy “was” from 1538 A.D, until 1798 A.D. and then it “is not” from 1798 until 1929. But then it “yet is” in 1929 when the “deadly wound” of the “head” or authority was healed to the Papacy.
So, what is the 4th Kingdom? It is Rome in Daniel’s future when he had the vision of the Beast.
2.) The Beast changes times & laws
Daniel 7:25 And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.
The Catholic Catechism specifically states that the “Pope has the power to change time and laws…even the precepts of Christ.”
What has the Papacy changed? They changed the 7th day Sabbath to “Sunday” for the pagan sun god. They changed all of God’s Holy Feast Days for pagan days to commemorate the reincarnated sun god on December 25th. They changed the new day from sun down to midnight on the clock.
There is no other entity that has “changed times and laws” like the Papacy has done.

3.) The Beast has the name of blasphemy upon his heads
Revelation 13:1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.
We can see by the illustration below that the “name of blasphemy” is upon the “heads” of the Popes or “Kings. On each and every Pope’s “Mitre” is inscribed this title in Latin: VICARIUS FILII DEI:
Let us establish the biblical definition of “blasphemy”:

1.) Claiming to be God: John 10:33 The Jews answered him, saying, “for a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God.”

2.) Man claiming to forgive sins: Mark 2:7 “Why doth this man thus speak blasphemies? Who can forgive sins but God only?”

THE LITERAL MEANING: VICARIUS – substituting for, or in place of
FILII – means son
DEI – means God
V = 5 F = no valueD = 500
I = 1 I = 1E = no value
C = 100 L = 50 I = 1
A = no value I = 1————-
R = no value I = 1501
I = 1 ————–
U = 5 53
S = no value
—————
112112 + 53+ 501 = 666

4.) The Beast has ten horns and seven heads
What does this mean? Well the angel tells John in Revelation 17:9 that the “seven heads are seven mountains upon which the woman sits.”
This “woman” is a church. In prophecy, woman=church or bride. What do the 7 heads mean? The angel tells John:
Revelation 17:9 …The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.

What woman or church sits on seven hills? The official title for the Vatican is “The City on Seven Hills.”

What do the horns represent? They represent political power or nations. How do we know this?

First of all we know that the way that a king was ordained in ancient biblical times was to have a “horn” filled with olive oil and poured out upon his head. So a “horn” represents a king or a kingdom/nation. We also have evidence of this in scripture:

Zechariah 1:
18 Then lifted I up mine eyes, and saw, and behold four horns.
19 And I said unto the angel that talked with me, What be these? And he answered me, These are the horns which have scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem.
What Nations do these 4 horns represent who scattered Judah, Israel and Jerusalem?

1.) Egypt
2.) Assyria
3.) Babylon
4.) Medo-Persia
This vision was given to Ezekiel during the Persian Empire under King Darius, so we know that the future empires of Greece, Rome & America had not yet come into being.
Okay so let’s recap. We see “seven heads” on the beast right? What does the “head” represent? Well it represents the “brains” of this beast, or the authority. Where does the “brains” of this Beast (New World Order) come from? It comes from the Vatican (seven heads, seven hills).
So we have established that in prophecy:
Horn = Political Powers
We see below that the “fourth beast” (Rome) had “ten horns” or political powers that reach to the nations globally.

Daniel 7:7 After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns.

These “ten horns” would come out of the first three horns that were going to fall from Daniel’s present time:

Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece.

Daniel 7:20 And of the ten horns that were in his head, and of the other which came up, and before whom three fell; even of that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spake very great things, whose look was more stout than his fellows.

Daniel 7:24 And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings.

Who are the “three kings” that were subdued? Babylon, Medo-Persia, , Greece.

Rome is the “fourth kingdom” that subdued the 3 previous kingdoms, and out of Rome comes “ten horns” or political powers that form the New World Order.

Other biblical references to the “seven heads and ten horns” are as follows:

Revelation 12:3 And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.

Revelation 13:1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.

Revelation 17:3 So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.

Revelation 17:7 And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns.

Revelation 17:12 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.

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.

4.) The Beast is a church and a nation

The Vatican is a Church and a Nation or Monarchy. They have their own flag and their own kings (Popes) who are crowned and coroneted.
As I explained before, this Beast has 7 heads (Vatican) and it has 10 global political powers. This “Beast” was, and is not, and yet is. In other words, the Beast existed from 1538 A.D. until 1798 A.D. But then it “was not” from the time Napolean took away the Papal Government from 1798 A.D. until 1929 A.D. And then the “Beast” once again “yet is” since 1929.
Revelation 17:
7 And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns.
8 The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.
9 And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.
5.) The Beast was, and is not, and yet is

Revelation 17:8 The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.

6.) The Beast has eight kings

Who are these 8 Kings? This prophecy I believe has a “two-fold” application. I believe we can apply the 8 Kings to the 8 Major World Empires as well as to literal “Kings” (Popes) since 1929 when the Papal Government was restored. Once again, here are the 8 Kings or Empires:
Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece, Rome, America, New World Order.

In John’s Day five of these “kings” or empires had fallen (Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece). And Rome was in power “one is.”

Revelation 17:10 And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.

America, the 7th “king” would only “continue a short space” in comparison to the other empires. The 8th King or Empire is the New World Order which is “of the seven” meaning that all former 7 empires become the 8th World Empire.

The “beast that was, and is not” is the Papacy right? Well this beast becomes the 8th King or Empire.

Revelation 17:11 And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.

But guess what? Since 1929, when Mussolini restored the Papacy, we are on Pope #7 with Pope Benedict the XVII.

So that means that the next Pope is the 8th Pope/King since 1929 when the “deadly wound of the papacy was healed.”

7.) The Beast has a name that has a numerical value

The Beast has a name that adds up to the number 666. That Beast (Papacy) has a title that adds up to 666 as follows:

THE LITERAL MEANING: VICARIUS = substituting for, or in place of
FILII = son
DEI = God

V = 5 F = no valueD = 500
I = 1 I = 1E = no value
C = 100 L = 50 I = 1
A = no value I = 1————-
R = no value I = 1501
I = 1 ————–
U = 5 53
S = no value
—————
112112 + 53+ 501 = 666

Revelation 13:18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six (666).

8.) The Man of sin declares he is God

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.

The POPES,according to Roman Catholic Doctrine arrogantly declare that they are the SUBSTITUTE FOR CHRIST ON EARTH.

9.) The Beast causes people to take a mark

The Mark of the Beast has a two-fold meaning. It is a computer chip implant but it is also the anti-thesis to the “Mark” of God shown to Ezekiel in Ezekiel chapter 8.

What is this “Mark” that God told the “writer with the inkhorn” to write upon the foreheads of God’s people? It is the “TAV” which is the last letter in the Hebrew alphabet. The “tav” is the Torah or the Law of Moses “written in our hearts and minds.” The New Covenant involves God writing his Holy Law the Torah in our hearts and minds, hence the “TAV.” The “tav” is a capital letter “T” and it is “the mark of the cross.” In other words, if we are crucified with Messiah to the old sinful nature, we will desire to keep his Torah/Law.

Those who have the “TAV” have the Torah written in their hearts and minds.

God’s Mark is invisible and it is only given to those who “sigh and cry” at these abominations that are listed in Ezekiel 9.

What are these abominations in Ezekiel 9?

1.) They “worship Tammuz” the pagan sun god who was always reincarnated each December 25th under different names (i.e. Zeus, Apollo, Mithra, Bacchus, Krishna, False Jesus etc.)
2.) They set up the “image of Jealousy” which is a phallic symbol. This image is the Washington Monument, the Egyptian Obelisk, a steeple on a church building. God hates this image because it represents Nimrod’s Phallus.
3.) They “put the branch to the nose” in other words “mistletoe.” This is a custom started for Nimrod or Baal who is the “God of the Tree.” Jeremiah also warned not to decorate a tree with silver and gold like the heathens do in Jeremiah 10.

Those whose names were written in the Lamb’s Book of Life
from the foundations of the world will ultimately “sigh and cry” at
these Abominations mentioned in Ezekiel 9, even if they don’t
know any better at this present time. Those who are the “elect”
will forsake the pagan customs of the Beast/Papacy when it
becomes punishable by death if they are not kept in the end times.

Revelation 13:8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.

So what is the Mark of the Beast? It is an invisible mark given to those who keep the false commandments and pagan feast days of the Papacy/Beast. But this invisible “mark” given to Satan’s followers will be accompanied by a computer chip implant which will be a mark of ownership. This computer chip will signify that those who have already worshipped “his image” will have access to the world’s system of buying and selling.

What is the Mark of God? It is an invisible mark which is given to those who keep God’s commandments and not those of the Papacy:

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 (God’s Holy Feast Days are the Testimony of Jesus).

The Mark of the Beast will be taken by those who do not already have their names written in the Lamb’s Book of Life from the foundations of the world.

Those who do have their names written in the Lamb’s Book of Life will “keep the commandments of God” and the Testimony of Jesus. The Holy Feast Days which commemorate Jesus are his testimony.

What is the “Testimony of Jesus”? Revelation 19:10 tells us that his testimony is the Spirit of Prophecy:

The Federal Reserve Caused The Great Depression!

The Federal Reserve Caused The Great Depression!

March 19, 2008 By David Kupelian WorldNetDaily

Despite the varied theories espoused by many establishment economists, it
was none other than the Federal Reserve that caused the Great Depression
and the horrific suffering, deprivation and dislocation America and the
world experienced in its wake. At least, that’s the clearly stated view of
current Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke.
The worldwide economic downturn called the Great Depression, which
persisted from 1929 until about 1939, was the longest and worst depression
ever experienced by the industrialized Western world. While originating in
the U.S., it ended up causing drastic declines in output, severe
unemployment, and acute deflation in virtually every country on earth.
According to the Encyclopedia Britannica, “the Great Depression ranks
second only to the Civil War as the gravest crisis in American history.”
Author Milton Friedman lay the mega-catastrophe of the Great Depression
squarely at the feet of the Federal Reserve. He summed up his views on the Fed
and the Depression in an interview with PBSon Oct. 1, 2000:

” At all times, the Federal Reserve had the power and the knowledge to
have stopped that. And there were people at the time who were all the
time urging them to do that. So it was, in my opinion, clearly a mistake
of policy that led to the Great Depression.”

Nov. 8, 2002, Bernanke, the man who now runs the Fed :
“Regarding the Great Depression. You’re right, we did it. We’re
very sorry. “

Today, the entire Western financial world holds its breath every time the
Fed chairman speaks, so influential are the central bank’s decisions on
markets, interest rates and the economy in general. Yet the Fed,
supposedly created to smooth out business cycles and prevent disruptive
economic downswings like the Great Depression, has actually done the
opposite.

Really? Who Would Have Known?
