THE ANTICHRIST

Why is no one dealing with the real reason sodomite marriages are becoming a reality? Of course we should be trying to reign in or impeach judges who do not go by centuries of case law or the Constitution. Spineless legislatures will not balance out power given to them by the Constitution. This is a major problem and it affects more than just sodomite marriages. But, this is minor in comparison to the real culprit in the destruction of marriage.

Where is this push to accept sodomites into our society as normal healthy law abiding citizens coming from? Does anyone believe that this could be coming from a well organized 5% of the population? Of course not. There must be a bigger paradigm shift going on somewhere that has empowered sodomites to think this country is ready for such dramatic change. It could be that many are tolerating Hollywood making sodomy pervasive in our entertainment. What about parents who allow the public school systems to teach sodomy to children as a normal “lifestyle”? The federal government for years has allowed “Gay Pride Celebrations” during working hours on government property. Years ago congress signed into law “civil union” benefits for homosexual partners of federal government employees.

Even President Bush signed a bill after 9-11 for the homosexual partners of firemen or "safety officers" who died in the twin towers to receive $250,000 in death benefits. Even they are not to blame. What about the big corporations requiring mandatory diversity training courses and giving benefits to sodomites? Look at the universities. Here in Alabama where sodomy is still against the law, the University of Alabama allows sodomite clubs, women's studies and benefits for homosexual employees’ partners. GLSEN is allowed to come into the schools and promote the “National Gay Day of Silence.” All this without outrage from the people. Why not?

There is a place where we can direct 100% of the blame. We do not have to scratch our heads and wonder what happened.

Mainline denominations must accept full responsibility for this intrusion. You remember the old saying “I was country before country was cool.” The churches were soft on sodomy long before the closet door opened and other institutions accepted this behavior or the government started promoting it. They are responsible for the paradigm shift that brings us to the destruction of marriage today. It has been incremental. Those in the pews would have revolted 50 years ago if their church accepted openly sodomites into the church. The adage “What we now tolerate, we will soon embrace”, is proven among these mainline denominations

It all started with denying God’s Word. Many deny the virgin birth and the resurrection. A lot believe that all ways lead to heaven just as President Bush believes Allah is the God of the Bible. Then sin became okay. After all, we can be saved in our sins. Little by little the Word of God has been dumbed down in the new versions. No matter who you are we have a version that fits your needs. Christians have been dumbed down so much till these denominations accepted sodomy as a “gift from God” instead of sin.

These churches have for many years allowed sodomites who openly flaunt their lifestyle, or I mean sin, to become members of their church. They soon started performing civil unions plus gay celebrations in these churches. Many were marrying them before it was legal. One great example is Foundry United Methodist Church in Washington D.C., where many of our public officials attend. Folks like Bob Dole and the Clintons. For many years this church had Gay Pride celebrations, with guest speakers who claim that the Lord Jesus Christ was a “drag queen” and Paul was a sodomite.

All of this was happening in the churches long before the rest of society would allow it. This lifestyle is accepted in the mainline denominations and now male and female sodomites are selected to be leaders, pastors, priests and even bishops. Had the churches been doing their jobs, homosexuals would still be in the closet, afraid to let the light of truth shine on their sin. They might even deal with their sin and live a healthy life.

I personally blame the people sitting in the pews of these mainline churches for allowing the sodomites to take over this country. What deviant behavior will the churches accept next, pedophilia? Let’s not forget these same churches also have been the culprit for the 46 million children slaughtered in this country.

The Word of God tells us that there will come a time when the pew dwellers will not endure sound doctrine. They will heap to themselves teachers who tell them what they want to hear. The pastors will promote lies and the people will love to have it so. This is the real cause of sodomite marriage in this country and the only cure is for God’s people to come back to His Word.

Anne was interviewed on the Early Show and was asked: "How could GOD let something like this happen"? [regarding the attacks on the twin towers of New York's trade centres]

Anne Graham gave an extremely profound and insightful response: She said "I believe GOD is deeply saddened by this, just as we are, but for years we've been telling GOD to get out of our schools, to get out of our Government and to get out of our lives. And being the gentleman He is, I believe He has calmly backed out.

How can we expect GOD to give us His blessing and protection if we demand He leaves us alone?" In light of the recent events such as terrorists attacks, school shootings, disasters, etc., i think it started when Madeleine Murray O'Hare [she was murdered, her body found recently] complained she didn't want prayer in our schools, and we said O.K.

Than someone said you better not read the Bible in schools. The Bible says thou shalt not kill, thou shalt not steal, that you should love your neighbours as yourselves. And we said - OK -no Bibles in school.
Then Dr. Benjamin Spock said we shouldn't spank pur children when they misbehave because their little personalities would be warped and we might damage their self-esteem [Dr. Spock's own son committed suicide]. We said an expert should know what he is talking about. So we said - OK. Now we are asking ourselves why our children have no conscience, why they don't know right from wrong, and why it doesn't bother them to kill strangers, their classmates, and themselves.

Probably, when we think about it long and hard enough, we can figure it out. I think it has a great deal to do with "WE REAP WHAT WE SOW". Funny how simple it is for people to trash GOD and then wonder why the world is going to hell. Funny how we belief what the newspapers say, but question what the Bible says.

Dare we mention how the Devil got into Christianity? The Templeton foundation offered any Bible College and Seminar a $10 000 grant if they stopped teaching creation and teach the theory of evolution instead and many took it. The Roman Catholic Church was one of the very first to teach evolution.
What about the false Pentecost and speaking in tongues? See www.come2jesus.info/tongues.htm

Here we have noticed the moral fall of Christendom. From this we can see that it will not take long to persecution where spiritual Babylon will with the aid of Politics, try to silence any minority who opposes the moral corruption. Because the Roman Catholic Church is partly politic and partly religious, the Bible calls her the GREAT WHORE [Rev.17].

Those who try make the little horn of Daniel seven fit Antiochus Epiphanes II, are mistaken, because all of the above 10 identifying marks do not fit the ancient Persian King, but do fit the Roman Papacy exactly. VV7,8 the horn arose out of the 4th beast, which is clearly Rome.

The little horn must also come from among the ten horn, which presents the 10 Arian Kingdoms into which Rome had deteriorated and Antiochus time was past by then. [v.8] These were the Alemannis, the Franks, the Herulis, the Vandals, the Ostrogoth, the Suevi, the Visigoth, the Burgundians, the Lombards and the Anglo-Saxons.

It also must exist after the ten horns [v.24] and must also be different from them [Ibid]

It must have uprooted 3 of the ten kingdoms. Antiochus did not uproot any, but Rome, these three were, the Herulis,Ostrogoth and the Vandals. [v.v. 8,20,24].

Spoke great words against our Most High GOD. While Antiochus sacrificed a pig in the Temple, the Papacy spoke great words against GOD by substituting CHRIST intercessory priesthood in the heavenly temple with a counterfeit priesthood that cut worshippers effectively off CHRIST. While JESUS came to give us eternal life, the Roman Catholic church claims that our souls are immortal already and live on after death. The cleansing blood of JESUS is also bypassed by purging in purgatory and limbo. GOD'S mercy seat is also substituted with the dispensation and indulgence of sin. The free gift of salvation [Eph.2:8] is being spoken against with the works of merits. The Pope fits the man of sin and lawlessness when we observe that the Church of Rome altered all of the 10 Commandments which point out sin.

They removed the second which forbids the making and worship of images and statues including under the earth such as hell, limbo and purgatory, so they could lead Christianity into Apostasy and idolatry by worshipping, adoring and venerating Mother Mary and thousands of Saints. If they only venerated CHRIST and prayed to GOD, they would become real Christians.

The eight's I.D. mark is the wearing out of the saints of GOD. While they have made their own saints, the Bible calls every born again Believer a "SAINT". Those who refused to become Catholics and give up the Bible, were torture on the rack and burned alive at the stake. Their apologies today is for individual murderers, but no apology for the catholic inquisition. [v.25].

The ninth's point is that Antiochus never changed any times and laws, but papal Rome removed the second command, split up the last into two and then moved all the numbers. False worship was not enough, so the day of worship was also changed from Saturday to Sunday and GOD'S time from sundown to the darkest hour of midnight. Anyone trying to change GOD'S law, is seating himself in GOD'S place or temple [2.Thess.2] and the forbidden title of Pope or Papa meaning Father [see Mathew 23:9] is blasphemy when he calls himself by the name of GOD, namely "Holy Father" and claims the prerogatives of GOD such as infallibility. [v.25]. This forbidden title also applies to the so called early church Father's.

The last and tenth's. Antiochus did not quiet make the required 1260 days of abomination. But papal Rome reigned from 538 A.D. to exactly 1798 A.D. making it 1260 days of years. The decree of Justinian to make the bishop of Rome head of all Christendom was issued in 533 A.D. [see Encyclopedia], but could not come into effect because three of the ten tribes ruled in Italy itself. Belisarius was recalled from North Africa to free the city and uproot the three tribes which was achieved in 538 A.D.
In 1798 A.D. Napoleon's General Berthier took the Pope off the Roman throne and into exile. This is mirrored in Revelation 13 as the deadly wound. It was healed again in 1929 A.D. when Mussolini returned the papal States of the Vatican City.

The Protestant Reformation also wounded the Papacy and as a result, the Jesuit order of priests was formed to re-interpret Daniel and Revelation in such a way as to point the Anti-Christ as far away from Rome as possible. One priest invented Pretorism and put the anti-christ back before the time of CHRIST, to Antiochus Epiphanes II the ancient Persian King. But the prophesy says that the ram [Dan. 8:4] representing Media/Persia became "GREAT". The Goat [Dan.8:8] grew "VERY GREAT" representing Greece, but the little horn [Dan.8:9] grew "EXCEEDINGLY GREAT", can only mean that it grew bigger than the world empires of Persia and Greece. Antiochus only ruled a small portion and never grew big, but the Papacy on the throne of the Ceasars and the Roman Empire did.

Another Jesuit priest invented Futurism and put the anti-christ far into the end of time, and both interpretations have been accepted by Protestantism today. Futurism inserted over 2 000 years into the prophetic week of seven years pertaining to our Lord's ministry into Daniel 9:24-27. This darkness has come because of rejecting the three angel's messages of Revelation 14:6-12.

Seventy literal weeks do not reach to the Messiah the Prince [CHRIST] from Daniel, the old testament prophet’s day. [Daniel 9:24-27] It is the greatest proof Christianity has. But the 70 weeks are prophetic years, fit exactly into 490 years to reach from Daniel in Babylonia to CHRIST in Roman time.

The prophecy was to seal up the vision. When you finish something and do not want any one to temper with the product, you seal it [v.24b]. The Jesuits of the Roman counter-reformation in the 16^th century Francisco Ribera [1537-1591] tempered with the seal and claimed that the last half of this prophetic week of seven years and in an amazing stunt transports it to the end of the world, inserting more than 2 000 years into it. This is most demonic as can be seen from 1.Timothy 4:1-4 that tells us that the celibates would do demonic doctrines.

The prophecy would also reach to anoint the most Holy [v.24]. JESUS would become our great high priest in the heavenly most Holy to intercede for us.

Roman Catholic author G. S. Hitchcock summarizes the genius of futurism and pretorism as follows:

The Futuristic School, founded by the Jesuit Ribera in 1591, looks for Antichrist, Babylon, and an rebuilt temple in Jerusalem, at the end of the Christian dispensation. The Praeteriat School, founded by the Jesuit Alcazar in 1614, explains the Revelation by the fall of Jerusalem, or by the fall of Pagan Rome in 410 A.D.---G.S.Hitchcock, The Beasts and the Little Horn,p.7

The little horn of course he explained to be Antiochus Epiphanes instead of the Reformers pointing to the Papacy being the little horn of Daniel 7&8.

The R.C.C. invented a counterfeit priesthood that would cut us off from CHRIST as Intercessor. In 1898 English Protestant author Joseph Tanner made these observations on the beginnings of “Futurism” and “Pretorism” :

Accordingly, towards the close of the century of the Reformation, two of her [Rome’s] most learned doctors set themselves to the task, each endeavouring by different means to accomplish the same end, namely, that of diverting men’s mind from perceiving the fulfillment of the prophecies of the Antichrist in the Papal system.

The Jesuit Alcazar devoted himself to bring into prominence the Preterist method of interpretation, and thus endeavouring to show that the prophecies of Antichrist were fulfilled before the Popes ever ruled at Rome, and therefore could not apply to the Papacy. On the other hand the Jesuit Ribera tried to set aside the application of these prophecies to the Papal Power by bringing out the Futurist system, which asserts that these prophecies refer properly not to the career of the Papacy, but to that of some future supernatural individual, who is yet to appear, and to continue in power for three and a half years. Thus, as Alford says, the Jesuit Ribera, about A.D. 1580, may be regarded as the Founder of the Futurist system in modern times.---- Joseph Tanner, Daniel and the Revelation [London: Hodder & Stoughton, 1898], pp 16,17.

Futurism first entered Protestantism in nineteenth century England by two seemingly widely separated developments.

1.] The first was the appearance of a Romanizing tendency in the Church of England. Briefly, the development was as follows:

a. Dr. Samuel R. Maitland [1792-1866], curate of Christ Church at Gloucester and later librarian to the archbishop of Canterbury, was the first notable Protestant Scholar to accept the Riberian interpretation of antichrist. Maitland held the Reformation in open contempt and freely admitted that his view of prophecy coincided with Catholic interpretation. His views were first published in 1826 and received widespread study and interest.

b. James H. Todd [1805-1869], professor of Hebrew at the University of Dublin, studied and accepted Maitland’s futuristic views. He strongly attacked the Reformer’s historical system of prophetic interpretation. Todd’s views were published and widely circulated among the theologians of his time.

c. John Henry Newman [1801-1890], famous High Church Anglican who was converted to Rome and became a cardinal, was one of the leading spirits in the renown Oxford, or Tractarian, movement. Five years before he joined the church of Rome, Newman advocated Todd’s futurism in a tract called The Protestant Idea of Antichrist . Newman wrote: We have pleasure in believing that in matters of Doctrine we entirely agree with Dr. Todd……The Prophecies concerning Antichrist are yet unfulfilled, and that the predicted enemy of the church is yet to come.

When these developments in England were seriously eroding the historical, or Protestant, system of prophetic interpretation, two great opponenets of futurism arose:

1.] Edward Bishop Elliot [1793-1875], graduate of Cambridge in 1816, produced a most elaborate work of 2 5oo pages on the Apocalypse. He exposed the fallacious interpretations which involved abandonment of the Protestant position on antichrist, and attacked the Romanizing tendencies in the Tractarian movement. It was Elliot who presented a thorough, documented history of the rise of futurism and preterism from Jesuit sources.

2.] Dr. Henry Grattan Guinness [1835-1910] of London published nine major works on prophecy between 1878 and 1905. Alarmed by the inroads of the futurist school of counterinterpretation stemming from the Jesuits, Guinness mounted a tremendous defence of the historical school of Protestant view, which holds to the progressive fulfillment of prophecy from John’s time to the second advent.

In the last hundred years the Protestant movement has abandoned the prophetic convictions of historic Protestantism and has opted for theories which have their origin with the Jesuits. The liberal wing of the Protestant movement, often denying the inspiration of the Bible or spiritualizing away its most pointed truths, have adopted the preterist view of prophecy, first espoused by Jesuit Alcazar. But the right wing of Protestantism, espousing an extreme literalism in reaction against the liberals, have taken over Ribera’s futurism, and in some circles they have made it a part of “evangelical orthodoxy.” This represents a remarkable triumph of the theories of Rome’s Counter Reformation.

Note:
At the last Popes funeral, all the world was represented, from the Shinto high Priest, the Moslem and even three U.S. Presidents, to the adulterous Prince Charles fulfilling prophecy of Revelation 13: "And all the world wondered after the beast." Prophecy is so fast fulfilling now, that it is only a very small step to persecution seeing that the new pope is the head of the INQUISITION.
