This finishes up The Secret Terrorists by Bill Hughes. Had never read any of his work before this, and I have to say the man had eyes to see before most, myself included. His work along with some other recent research has allowed my vision to become much clearer, to the point where the true enemy is coming into sharper focus with each day. That said and because of what you will read in the following, I want you the reader to ask yourself, what is the dominant sect of religion flowing across our borders from the South? Everyone wants to piss and moan about what happened to the natives in what became the 48 states, and Spain gets the pass(because they were doing it for the Catholic Queen) for what they did to the natives of Central and South America. Another question to ask yourself, because there is a herd of folks that the jesuits have conned on this one.What country other than America does not want to see a central world government come to fruition ? I could spell it out for you, but it will serve you better if you can come to the correct conclusion on your own. Going to finish up this lead in with a thought, a question,and a statement of intent.
So tired of hearing the words 'Deep State', just substitute the word "Jesuits" everytime you hear 'deep state' and you are telling the truth. Now the question...who is behind the covid lockdown?. Too many trying to find The Truth via secular-humanistic ways. The Spirit teach's that God Created the Heaven's and The Earth in six days and rested on the Sabbath. The liar has taught that the first day of the 'week' is Sunday. The manner in which the True God has overcome this is to use the liars own words against, that being so, the liar having deceived people in such a manner as to say the week starts on Sunday is shown to be a Liar, because The Holy Spirit has always taught that Saturday is the day of rest. Mark my words...this lockdown at its core has to do with Sundays and what you can or cannot do on that day. Do not fool yourself and think, 'well I am not Catholic', if the sect you are involved in looks at Sunday as the Sabbath...well I will let you read for yourself, as Mr Hughes I believe is on to something when he suggests a coming 'Sunday Law', think of this lockdown as being you conditioned to believe the Lie when they bring it forth. What has to remain at all cost to this nation is separation of church and state!
...o...
my intent...a flock...who come together on the sabbath...and the flock is not asked to donate...just consider...peace be with all
The Secret Terrorists
By Bill Hughes
Chapter 11
WORLD TRADE CENTER ATTACK
The story of the destruction of the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001, does not begin on that day. It began shortly after World War One. After the war, Jesuit Edward Mandell House and Woodrow Wilson created the League of Nations. When U.S. Senator Henry Cabot Lodge Sr. kept America out of the League. the Jesuits were furious. This must never happen again. So, in 1921, under the influence of House, an organization was formed in the United States called the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR).
This organization attracted people of power, wealth, and influence. It enlisted politicians, people from the media, and big businessmen. The ultimate goal of the CFR was to break down all national boundaries and to establish a one-world system of government. Rear Admiral Chester Ward, a member of the CFR for 16 years, stated:
The most powerful clique in these elitist groups have one objective in common — they want to bring about the surrender of the sovereignty of the national independence of the United States. — Barry Goldwater, With No Apologies, William Morrow and Company, page 278.
The Jesuits have always hated America and everything this country stands for, and they work tirelessly to destroy this country.
The great objective of the CFR was the destruction of American sovereignty and constitutional liberties. To accomplish this, both the Republican and Democratic parties were to be controlled, and a central bank was to be created, the Federal Reserve Bank.
When a new President comes on board, there is a great turnover in personnel, but no change in policy. Example: During the Nixon [a Republican] years Henry Kissinger, CFR member and Nelson Rockefeller’s protégé, was in charge of foreign policy. When Jimmy Carter [a Democrat] was elected, Kissinger was replaced by Zbigniew Brzezinski, CFR member and David Rockefeller’s protégé. — Ibid. page 279.
The Jesuits have been extremely successful in carrying out the purposes of the papacy’s malignant Congress at Vienna, Verona, and Chieri. The Jesuits, with the aid of their CFR, control the highest of echelons in the political, judicial, business, banking, media, and religious arenas in the United States. Their plans are right on schedule.
When they failed to get America into the League of Nations after World War One, they created the CFR, which began immediately to use the schools, colleges, and the media to condition Americans to accept the Jesuits’ second attempt to create a world government after World War Two. America was so conditioned by then that they accepted the United Nations, and joined.
The Jesuits’ CFR is extremely dangerous to the continued existence of the American Republic. A few patriots like Chester Ward and President Kennedy rejected their malicious plans and fought their agenda. Kennedy paid for his disobedience to the Jesuits with his life. Some of the past CFR members who were either Jesuits or Jesuit pawns to do their bidding are Dwight D. Eisenhower, Richard Nixon, Adlai Stevenson, Hubert Humphrey, and George McGovern. Current members of the Jesuit CFR include Federal Reserve Bank chairman Alan Greenspan, Congressmen Newt Gingrich and Richard Gephardt, both presidents George Herbert Walker Bush and his son, George Walker Bush, Vice president Dick Cheney, Secretary of State Colin Powell, Supreme Court justice Sandra Day O’Connor, Joseph Lieberman, and John Chafee. (Chafee was the man who introduced gun laws after Waco, remember?) Bill Clinton, of course, is a member of the CFR.
Major companies under Jesuit/CFR control include the Ford Motor Company, Boeing Corporation, Pepsi-Cola, Heinz Co., Lockheed-Martin, Time Warner, and Chevron. In the media, NBC, CBS, N.Y. Times, Washington Post, Newsweek, and Time, are just a few media outfits dominated by the Jesuits. All these organizations promote the Jesuits’ plan for destroying America. Some top media people who promote the Jesuit Plan include Tom Brokaw, Barbara Walters, David Brinkley, John Chancellor, Katharine Graham, and Ted Koppel, all CFR members.
John Swinton, Chief of Staff for the New York Times, who is considered to be the dean of his profession, made a most bold confession. In 1953, at a New York Press Club, he declared,
There is no such thing, at this date of the world’s history, in America, as an independent press. You know it, and I know it. There is not one of you who dares to write your honest opinions, and if you did, you know beforehand that it would never appear in print. I am paid weekly for keeping my honest opinion out of the paper I am connected with. Others of you are paid similar salaries for similar things, and any of you who would be so foolish as to write honest opinions would be out on the streets looking for another job. If I allowed my honest opinions to appear in one issue of my newspaper, before twenty-four hours my occupation would be gone. The business of the journalists is to destroy the truth; to lie outright; to pervert; to vilify; to fawn at the feet of mammon, and to sell his country and his race for his daily bread. You know it, and I know it and what folly is this toasting an independent press? We are the tools and vassals of rich men behind the scenes. We are the jumping jacks, they pull the strings and we dance. Our talents, our possibilities and our lives are all the property of other men. We are intellectual prostitutes. — Multiple contributors, A U. S. Police Action: Operation Vampire Killer, The American Citizens and Laumen Association, pp. 18,19, (emphasis supplied).
Swinton explained so well that the media are under the control of the rich. We have previously shown that the richest people in America are either Jesuits or are under their control. The Jesuits are telling us, via the newspapers, magazines, and every other mass-media communication outlet, exactly what they want us to believe. One of their biggest efforts is to make the people of the world believe that the pope is the great man of peace, when, in reality, the pope and his Jesuits are working constantly to establish the pope as the supreme dictator of the world as he was in the Dark Ages. When they accomplish this, the horrible persecution by the papacy in the Dark Ages will return. Americans are being beguiled to give up their constitutional civil liberties and their country. The tragedies we are witnessing today are blamed on terrorists, but these terrorist organizations have been infiltrated and controlled by the Jesuits. This very effectively covers up the footprints of the papacy in these tragedies.
Let us now turn to the destruction of the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. Along with the total destruction of the World Trade Center, thousands of innocent people died. The negative impact on America and its economy has been devastating. Multiple businesses have been ruined by the fallout.
In order to defend against future attacks like this, the United States Government made a feeble attempt to find the perpetrators of this atrocity in Afghanistan. But their major thrust in this war against terrorism has been to take away what is left of the rights and liberties of American citizens. For some unexplained reason, if the civil rights of American citizens are taken away, there isn’t supposed to be any more terrorism. This onslaught against Americans has come from the White House, the Justice Department, Congress, and the news media. The people in government take a solemn oath to defend and obey the Constitution of the United States, but their oath has been shown to be a gigantic lie. They totally and completely ignore the constitution as they pass their destructive legislation and executive orders.
From the beginning of his presidency, George Bush has been promoting the Jesuit agenda. Two months into his presidency, surrounded by cardinals of Rome, the President dedicated a cultural center in Washington, D.C. to the greatest enemy this Republic has ever had — the pope of Rome. Bush declared that he is going to enforce the words and teachings of the pope here in America.
The best way to honor Pope John Paul II, truly one of the great men, is to take his teachings seriously, to listen to his words and put his words and his teachings into action here in America! — Patricia Zapoa, Catholic News Service, March 24, 2001.
John Paul’s words and teachings represent the plan to destroy Protestantism, to destroy the Constitution of the United States, and to restore his throne as universal monarch. By his own words, we see that George Bush is carrying out the plan of the Jesuits to destroy America.
In 1960, John Kennedy went from Washington to Texas to assure Protestant preachers that he would not obey the pope. In 2001, George Bush came from Texas up to Washington to assure a group of Catholic bishops that he would obey the pope. — Washington Times, April 16, 2001.
Who is calling the shots in Washington, D.C.? If we think it is the President of the U.S., we are deceiving ourselves.
The pope is the ruler of the world. All the emperors, all the kings, all the princes, all the presidents of the world are as these altar boys of mine. — Priest D. S. Phelan, Western Watchman, June 27, 1912
Should we be surprised if Bush and his fellow altar boys are pushing the Jesuit program? Should we be surprised to see Bush issuing executive orders that destroy constitutional liberties? Should we be surprised to see Congress passing laws that destroy constitutional liberties?
This is alarming information. The highest echelons in the United States Government, the highest echelons in business and finance, and the highest echelons in the schools, colleges, and media, are all claiming to be Americans. They are all claiming to be working for the betterment of America. They are all claiming to be working for the preservation of the Constitution. In fact, they are under the control of the Jesuits, the most implacable enemies of this Republic. With a patriotic and religious facade, they are secretly leading America to ruin. Deception is being practiced by the most sinister of foes, the Jesuits of Rome.
It is here that the tremendous power of the church makes itself felt. It is through this direction [Jesuits] that statesmen are compelled to act, not for the benefit of the country to which they belong, but for the benefit of the Church, which controls them. — M. F. Cusack, The Black Pope, Marshall, Russell, and Co., p. 106.
What has happened in the aftermath of the World Trade Center destruction? The day after the center was destroyed the Orlando Sentinel writes,
Experts, however, say there is much work to be done. And it will involve much more spending and planning, hardening of key facilities and, perhaps, higher taxes and forfeiture of some personal freedoms. — Tighter Security Means Less Freedom, Orlando Sentinel, Wednesday, September 12th, (emphasis supplied).
As the United States faces a new war against uncertain and hidden enemies, the temptation to sacrifice our freedom in the hopes of protecting ourselves from harm is powerful.
The danger is that we will end up neither safe nor free.
The constitutional protections of speech and privacy that Americans value so highly reflect a balance between individual liberty and state security. Just how those lines are drawn, history teaches, is directly affected by the perceived threats to our country’s security….
We’re faced with real threats to national security. The challenge is to meet those threats without endangering our constitutional character or undermining the freedom and liberty that are the source of our power. — USA Today, Thursday, Sept. 13, 2001 (emphasis supplied).
Freedom or safety? Anti terrorism measures may mean forfeiture of some personal freedoms. — Orlando Sentinel, Wednesday, September 12th, (emphasis supplied).
In the reader forum of the Orlando Sentinel, Sept. 12th, the question was raised, “What personal freedoms would you give up to fight terrorism?” One person, the next day, wrote in and said, “I have no problem with having to give up something for the greater good of myself and my brothers and sisters.” This person does not realize that as the government usurps more and more power; liberty, freedom, and safety decrease in direct proportion. This person does not realize that when the government has all the power, no one is safe, and bloody persecution is the result. Remember Waco?
The main purpose of the World Trade Center tragedy was to make American citizens willing to give up their freedoms. The World Trade Center attack was necessary because the bombing in Oklahoma did not panic the American people enough to get more of the desired so-called ‘anti-terrorism laws’ passed.
Virginia Sloan realized that if the terrorists wanted to attack American freedoms they had got somewhere…
Civil libertarians expect renewed calls for a national identification card….
And that means storing all the face data collected, something civil libertarians fear will allow the government to track any individual. If systems were set up all over a city, you could be ‘checkpointed’ by camera when you board a train, stop at a cash machine and enter a store, or the place where you work. — Time Magazine, Sept. 24, 2001.
One of the scary things about face recognition is that it is notoriously unreliable. You might be identified as a terrorist because the machine made a mistake.
Some of the staunchest defenders of individual rights, most notably the American Civil Liberties Union, so far have been silent on the issue. The organization forbade its officials from publicly speculating last week on possible fallout from Tuesday’s tragedy. The ACLU instead issued a brief statement urging ‘our leaders to continue to uphold the principles of liberty the nation holds dear as they pursue those responsible for this devastating attack on American soil.’
Privately, libertarians are worried the stampede for added security will trample cherished freedoms. They point out some of the proposals making the rounds already were considered and rejected by the government in the wake of the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing….
An April 1995 Los Angeles Times poll immediately after the bombing found 49 percent of those surveyed thought it would be ‘necessary for the average person to give up some civil liberties.’ 43 percent disagreed. A follow-up poll…11 months later found only 30 percent still thought civil liberties would have to be sacrificed and 65 percent said it was unnecessary. — Orlando Sentinel, September 13, 2001.
There has been an onslaught of media articles and statements suggesting the giving up of certain civil liberties just as the Jesuit agenda requires. On October 26, 2001, George Bush signed the misnamed USA Patriot Act of 2001, which was proposed five days after the tragedy. Just six weeks after the World Trade Center was destroyed, this bill was passed. This is truly amazing. It is virtually impossible for a bill to be conceived, written, debated, and passed this quickly. You see, they already had the bill written before the tragedy occurred.
The bill enhances the ability of federal authorities to tap phones, share intelligence information, track Internet usage, e-mails and cell phones and protect U.S. borders. — Bush Signs Sweeping New Laws to Combat Terrorism, Reuters News Service, October 26, 2001.
Laura Murphy of the American Civil Liberties Union stated in that article, “We cannot as a nation allow very legitimate public anxiety to immunize the administration and Congress from their obligation to protect the Bill of Rights and the fundamental values that document embodies.” In the name of fighting terrorism, the government is taking away Constitutional liberties and freedoms just as fast as they can. This will lead to terrible persecution in the United States, which will be much worse than the physical tragedies themselves.
Lawmakers upset with some of the administration's anti-terrorism actions will question Attorney General John Ashcroft on the matter.
[Certain Congressmen] say the administration’s actions have gone too far in infringing on civil liberties. — USA Today, November 26, 2001, (emphasis supplied).
In the same paper, on the same day, there’s a cartoon of two children, decorating a Christmas tree. One sings, “He sees you when you are sleeping, He knows when you are awake, He knows if you have been bad or good….” The other child says, “Enough about Attorney General Ashcroft already!”
In America, in the last eight years, there have been three terrible tragedies: Waco, Oklahoma City, and the World Trade Center. In every case, the government’s solution to the problems has been greatly increased government power and the loss of Constitutional liberties and freedoms. In this short time period of eight years, we have seen a very serious despoiling of the Constitution, the greatest document ever created by men. An insidious war is raging against Constitutional liberty in America. In the aftermath of the World Trade Center destruction, this certainly has been the focal point of politicians and media. Claiming to be loyal Americans, agents of the Jesuits in Congress and the media have been carrying out the their plan to destroy America with almost no opposition.
Remember, the Jesuits are totally antagonistic to the American Constitution and everything it stands for. Charles Chiniquy says,
Long before I was ordained a priest, I knew that my church was the most implacable enemy of this republic. My professors… had been unanimous in telling me that the principles and laws of the Church of Rome were absolutely antagonistic to the principles which are the foundations stones of the Constitution of the United States of America. — Charles Chiniquy, Fifty Years in the Church of Rome, Chick Publications, p. 283.
Watch carefully as Chiniquy compares the distinctions between the two.
1st. The most sacred principle of the United States Constitution is the equality of every citizen before the law. But the fundamental principle of the Church of Rome is the denial of that equality.
2nd. Liberty of conscience is proclaimed by the United States, a most sacred principle which every citizen must uphold, even at the price of his blood. But liberty of conscience is declared by all the popes and councils of Rome, a most godless, unholy, and diabolical thing, which every good Catholic must abhor and destroy at any cost.
3rd. The American Constitution assures the absolute independence of the civil from the ecclesiastical or church power; but the Church of Rome declares that such independence is an impiety and revolt against God.
4th. The American Constitution leaves every man free to serve God according to the dictates of his conscience; but the Church of Rome declares that no man has ever had such a right, and that the pope alone can know and say what man must believe and do.[sick f*#k DC]
5th. The Constitution of the United States denies the right for anybody to punish any other for differing from him in religion; but the Church of Rome says that she has the right to punish with the confiscation of their goods, or the penalty of death, those who differ in faith from the pope.
6th. The United States have established schools all over their immense territories, where they invite the peoples to send their children, that they may cultivate their intelligence and become good and useful citizens. But the Church of Rome has publicly cursed all those schools, and forbidden their children to attend them, under pain of excommunication in this world and damnation in the next.
7th. The Constitution of the United States is based on the principle that the people are the primary source of all civil power. But hundreds of times, the Church of Rome has proclaimed that this principle is impious and heretical. She says that all government must rest upon the foundation of the Catholic faith; with the pope alone as the legitimate and infallible source and interpreter of the law. — Ibid. p. 284.
We saw that the President of the United States declared in the Washington Times that he is going to obey the pope. If so, he must destroy the Constitution. In the aftermath of the destruction of the World Trade Center, Bush has apparently been following the pope’s agenda to the letter.
Nothing is plainer than that, if the principles of the church of Rome prevail here, our Constitution would fall. The two cannot exist together. They are in open and direct antagonism with the fundamental theory of our government and of all popular government everywhere. — Richard Thompson, The Papacy and the Civil Power, quoted in Fifty Years in the Church of Rome, p. 285,
If Catholics ever gain a sufficient numerical majority in this country, religious freedom is at an end. — The Shepherd of the Valley, official journal of the Bishop of St. Louis, November 23rd, 1851. [ do not be deceived folks,THIS is the REAL reason for the constant flow from the South of us, what is the DOMINANT religion of these folks crossing? DC]
The destruction of the World Trade Center and the destruction of the Murrah building in Oklahoma City were planned events for the specific purpose of creating terror in America so that Americans, in fear, would give away their Constitutional liberties and freedoms. The Jesuits’ plan is working extremely well. With politicians, schools and colleges, the media, and big corporations in their hands, America is being rapidly defeated by the enemy within.
As American troops prepared to do battle with an extreme Muslim faction in Afghanistan, USA Today quoted the President as saying, “his administration is readying a crusade against terrorism.” (USA Today, September 17, 2001.)
A crusade? Crusades were Catholic holy wars fought during the Dark Ages against Muslim hordes who refused to relinquish Jerusalem to the pope. What does George Bush mean by a crusade? Alberto Rivera, an ex-Jesuit priest, in his crusader series, has made it clear that the Vatican created Islam to destroy Christians and Jews, protect Roman Catholics, and to capture Jerusalem for the pope. For the first few hundred years of their existence, Islam did just that. When it came time for the powerful generals of the Islamic armies to surrender Jerusalem to the pope, they, realizing their power, refused to give it up. Thus, the papacy created the Crusades to drive the Islamic forces out of Jerusalem, and establish the throne of the pope in Jerusalem.
Why a crusade now? Why are America and extremist Islamic factions fighting? There are three things the Jesuits wish to accomplish from this situation. As we have seen, the Constitution has been a thorn in their side for hundreds of years; they want it destroyed completely. By continuing to create terror in America, the Jesuits will one day get their ultimate goal. They also want to pay back the Islamic extremists for disobeying them when they didn’t give the pope Jerusalem when he wanted it. Finally, war will continue in the Middle East until the weary multitudes of the world cry out for a peaceful solution to the conflict. When that time arrives, guess who will be considered the only peacemaker whose presence in Jerusalem would bring the long coveted peace? Placing the pope as leader in that troubled region will appear to be the only answer because the controlled press/media will have conditioned everyone to the idea. So, the pope will reign in Jerusalem; mission accomplished.
Let us consider Osama bin Laden. Bin Laden was aided by America during the Afghan-Soviet conflict in the 1980s and was fighting with America during the Balkan conflict in the late 1990s. Overwhelming information reveals bin Laden’s business ties to the Bush family, and he has had contact with the CIA as late as July, 2000. Osama bin Laden is a plant just like Lee Harvey Oswald and Timothy McVeigh were plants. He is being used as the patsy to keep the blame away from where it really belongs — the Jesuits of the papacy.
Milt Bearden, an ex-CIA Afghanistan operations director and bin Laden’s intelligence advisor, was interviewed by Dan Rather on September 12, 2001. Rather wanted Bearden to state that bin Laden was responsible for the World Trade Center disaster. Bearden stated, “If they didn’t have an Osama bin Laden, they would invent one.”
Recently, Rick Wiles, speaker for the American Freedom News, interviewed Dr. Koryagina, the economic advisor to Vladimir Putin, leader of Russia. In the interview, she discussed secret societies, criminal and religious organizations that are controlling the world. She also declared that there is a shadow government seeking to bring down the United States and bring in world government. She warned in Moscow, in July of 2001, that the United States would be attacked. She said that when the American people wake up to what is happening to them, and who did it, they will be in a state of shock. “Everybody knows about organized crime and the Mafia. Also people have known for a long time about secret societies and so forth. During my research, I started to notice that those structures can be put together and can be joined. And I realized that right now, we have a criminal monster, a hybrid of organized crime, Mafia and secret societies that have merged together.” (aired December 6, 2001)
Will we listen to the words of this renowned Russian economist? Secret societies are bringing all these agencies together to create a one world government. When America figures it out, they will be in shock. Dr. Koryagina said everything but naming the secret society that is calling the shots, and who masterminded the World Trade Center destruction. The Jesuits of Rome.
CHAPTER 12
RELIGIOUS TERRORISM IN AMERICA
Where are the Jesuit agenda for America and the world heading? For over 200 years, the goal has been the complete destruction of the United States Constitution. This would mean the utter demise and annihilation of the precious freedoms guaranteed by that document. The right of free speech, free press, freedom of religion or the right to worship God according to the dictates of ones own conscience, the right to bear arms, the right to a fair trail, and the right to personal privacy would all be eliminated. For the past several years, we have seen this war on the Constitution and freedom taking place in earnest.
In the religious arena, the goal of the Jesuits is to wipe out any trace of Protestantism and other religions, and to restore world-wide domination by the pope. Next, we will determine if the Jesuits will be successful in their sinister purposes.
The only reliable source we can turn to for information on future events is prophecy from God. The Bible has predicted one event after another down through history, and the events have occurred exactly as the Bible said they would. With the same unerring accuracy the Bible predicts future events, and it shows the results that will occur as a result of the Jesuits’ conspiracy to rule the world.
The chapter in the Bible that reveals the results of the Jesuits’ treachery is Revelation 13. There are two beasts mentioned in this chapter; the first one rises out of the sea in verse one and the second rises out of the earth in verse eleven. Notice the reading of these verses:
And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea.... — Revelation 13:1
And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth.... — Revelation 13:11
In order to understand these verses, we must determine what a beast represents in Bible prophecy, and what the sea and the earth represent. Watch how the Bible interprets itself.
The book of Daniel shows that a beast represents a kingdom, or as we would say today, a nation or country.
These great beasts, which are four, are four kings, which shall arise out of the earth.... Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse [different] from all kingdoms.... — Daniel 7:17,23
Thus, we see that Revelation 13 discusses two powers that came to prominence in the world. These two powers have their beginnings in different areas of the world, one rises out of the sea and the other rises out of the earth.
Next, we discover what water represents in Bible prophecy.
And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues. — Revelation 17:15
We see here that the first power in Revelation 13 had its beginning in a heavily populated area of the world amid existing nations. This suggests that the first power came up in the populated area of Europe. The second world power of Revelation 13:11 rises out of the earth, which means it arose in an area of the world where few inhabitants existed. This suggests the rise of the second power occurred in the Western Hemisphere; where the population density was very light.
Here is more information about the first beast.
...having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority. — Revelation 13:1,2
There is also more information about the second beast.
And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. — Revelation 13:11.
Let us look at the meanings of the words blasphemy, dragon, and lamb in these verses. The first power commits blasphemy, and has been given his existence and authority from the dragon.
Mark explains one of the meanings of blasphemy. When Jesus saw their faith, he said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, thy sins be forgiven thee. But there were certain of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts, Why doth this man thus speak blasphemies? Who can forgive sins but God only? — Mark 2:5-7.
As the Son of God, Christ had the power to forgive sins, and He still has the power to forgive sins today. If a mere man claims that he can forgive sins, then that is blasphemy. The Jews, who refused to acknowledge Jesus as the Son of God, declared that He had committed blasphemy because they felt He was only a man. This first power in Revelation 13 commits blasphemy by claiming it can forgive people of their sins.
Here is the other meaning of blasphemy.
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. — John 10:33
Christ was God in human flesh, but the Jews did not acknowledge this. So when Christ claimed to be one with His Father, the Jews declared that He had committed blasphemy. Thus, when a man claims to be God on earth, this is blasphemy, and the first power in Revelation claims to be God.
Can you think of a power, rising up in the area of Europe that claims it can forgive sins and claims to be God? The confessional box of the Catholic Church is known throughout the world as the place where people go to have their sins forgiven by a priest. The most heinous crimes and the most awful deeds have resulted from one individual bearing his or her innermost thoughts to another human being. The Bible says, “For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;” (1 Timothy 2:5.) A Catholic priest has no more ability to forgive sins than your pet dog!
Next, consider some of the statements the papacy has made about the pope being god on earth.
The Pope is of so great dignity and so exalted that he is not a mere man, but as it were God, and the Vicar of God. The Pope is of such lofty and supreme dignity that, properly speaking, he has not been established in any rank of dignity, but rather has been placed upon the very summit of all ranks of dignities.... He is likewise the divine monarch and supreme emperor and king of kings. Hence the Pope is crowned with a triple crown, as King of Heaven and of Earth and of the Lower Regions. — Lucius Ferraris, Prompta Bibliotheca, volume 6, pp. 438, 442.
For thou art the shepherd, thou art the physician, thou art the husbandman; finally, thou art another God on earth. — Christopher Marcellus’s Oration in the Fifth Lateran Council, 4th session. J. D. Mansi, Sacrorum Conciliorum...Collectio, volume 32, col. 761, translated.
The pope is the supreme judge of the law of the land.... He is the vicegerent of Christ, who is not only a Priest forever, but also King of kings and Lord of lords. — La Civilta Cattolica, March 18, 1871, quoted in Leonard Woolsey Bacon, An Inside View of the Vatican Council, American Tract Society, p. 229.
Let us consider some of the names applied to Christ in the Scriptures and see if they could possibly apply to the pope: Almighty God, Creator, Savior, Christ, Lord, Most Holy, King of kings, and Reverend. What could be more blasphemous than for a man to claim any of these titles? “And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God. . . .” (Revelation 13:6).
The above quotes are utter blasphemy. The Roman Catholic power is the first beast of Revelation 13. Revelation 13:2 tells us that “The dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.” Who is the dragon that gives the papacy her power and authority? [jesuits DC]
The Bible tells us that the dragon is Satan, the devil.
And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. — Revelation 12:9 [remember the jesuits were cast out of the church at one time,and then returned DC]
The devil himself gave the papacy its power, its throne, and great authority. The devil runs the papacy. The devil is the one that leads her to destroy liberty in the earth. The devil is the one that seeks to gain homage from earth’s teeming multitudes by having them bow before the pontiff of Rome. The kind of brutal government the papacy ran through the Dark Ages is the kind the devil and the papacy promotes in the earth today. A satanic government has these characteristics:
1. It is controlled by a few; it is dictatorial.
2. It gives no freedom to its people.
3. It joins the church and the government together.
4. It persecutes anyone who does not comply.
That the papacy is the first power of Revelation 13 is beyond question. However, who is the second power of Revelation 13? We know that it rises in the Western Hemisphere and “he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon” (Verse 11). This verse indicates that the government started out lamb-like, being freedom-loving and just, but it ends up resembling a papal style or satanic government.
The Bible tells us that Christ is the Lamb.
The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world. — John 1:29.
And looking upon Jesus as he walked, he saith, Behold the Lamb of God. — John 1:36.
Christ is the lamb of Bible prophecy. The second power of Revelation 13, that rises in the Western Hemisphere, starts out with a Christ-like government, but ends up acting like the dragon (Satan). It starts out the opposite of the papacy and ends up just like her. Since a Christ-like government is opposite of a Satanic government, then the second power would have these characteristics at its beginning:
1. It is a government of the people, by the people, and for the people.
2. It guarantees certain inalienable rights and freedoms, like freedom of speech, freedom of religion, etc.
3. It keeps the church and the government separate.
4. It defends its people from political and especially religious tyranny.
The second power of Revelation 13 that has these characteristics could be none other than the United States of America. She alone rose up in the Western Hemisphere and began with a lamb-like government. As we have clearly seen throughout this book, the Jesuits would be used to destroy this lamb-like government and make it papal — devilish. Revelation 13 foretold 2000 years ago that the Jesuits would be successful, for verse 11 said that America would begin with a lamb-like government, but would one day “speak as a dragon.” Jesuit infiltration in all levels and departments of the United States government is why this country becomes a tyrannical, persecuting power. America is speaking and behaving more and more like Satan every day.
Revelation 13 reveals the rise of the papacy and the United States. It portrays the characteristics of the American government in the beginning and foretells the ultimate takeover by the Jesuits. It also shows us the dictatorial power the papacy had before the great Protestant Reformation.
And they worshiped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshiped the beast, saying Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him? — Revelation 13:4
During the Dark Ages, the world was worshiping at the feet of the Roman pontiff. With the rise of Martin Luther and the Protestant Reformation, the Bible was given to the people in their own language as the only rule of faith and practice. The Bible only was the cry of the Reformers. Over time, many thousands of people came to accept teachings found only in the Bible.
It also discloses a time when worship of the pope would once again be required of all the world on pain of death, and the United States would be the power that pushes the world to submit to the papacy.
And he exercised all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. Revelation 13:12,15 —
How will the world worship the papacy? What mark reveals papal authority in the earth? We need to find how the Scriptures define worship. How we understand and respond to this will determine our destiny as the following verse shows.
And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: — Revelation 14:9,10.
This is the most severe warning from God in the entire Bible. The following verses will show us the distinction between the true worship of God and false worship.
Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men…. And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition. — Mark 7:7-9.
The Jews were given the 10 commandments in Exodus 20:2-17. Over the centuries, the Jews had corrupted the commandments with many traditions that confused the authority of the Ten Commandments. This Christ so unsparingly condemned. He declared that when the Ten Commandments are set aside and the traditions of men are set up, then that is vain worship. True worship would involve honoring all ten of the commandments.
False worship is honoring the traditions of men.[have tried to tell people that the 12 and the zealot were not above them, it has mostly fallen on deaf hears as there are far too many saying Peter said this, or Paul spoke thusly about Christ, when they should be talking about what the comforter that Christ sent has said to them!If we live by Christ's golden rule,we fulfil God's Commandments DC]
True worship is honoring the commandments of God.
In Revelation 13 and 14, we are confronted with a papal tradition that is being exalted above one of God’s commandments, and this papal tradition is the mark of papal authority in the world. Do you know of a papal tradition, that is directly contrary to one of the Ten Commandments that the papacy herself will tell us is her mark of authority in the earth? This tradition is so vile in Heaven’s eyes that if one continues to obey the papacy’s commandment while knowing full well that it is contrary to the explicit commands of God, “the same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God.” (Revelation 14:10).
We will now look at several statements from Catholic literature that will show conclusively the papacy’s mark of authority is in the earth.
Prove to me from the Bible alone that I am bound to keep Sunday holy. There is no such law in the Bible. It is a law of the holy Catholic Church alone. The Bible says ‘Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy.’ The Catholic Church says, No. By my divine power I abolish the Sabbath day and command you to keep holy the first day of the week. And lo! The entire civilized world bows down in reverent obedience to the command of the Holy Catholic Church. — Thomas Enright, CSSR, President, Redemptorist College (Roman Catholic), Kansas City, MO., February 18, 1884. [God did not rest the first day,that is very clear,so according to THE BEAST' OWN LIE,the Sabbath falls on SATURDAY!!! DC]
The observance of Sunday by the Protestants is an homage they pay, in spite of themselves, to the authority of the [Catholic] church. — Monsignor Louis Segur, Plain Talk About the Protestantism of Today (1868), p. 213.
If Protestants would follow the Bible, they should worship God on the Sabbath Day [Saturday]. In keeping the Sunday they are following a law of the Catholic church. — Albert Smith, Chancellor of the Archdiocese of Baltimore, replying for the Cardinal in a letter of February 10, 1920.
The State, in passing laws for the due sanctification of Sunday, is unwittingly acknowledging the authority of the Catholic Church, and carrying out more or less faithfully its prescriptions.
The Sunday, as a day of the week set apart for the obligatory public worship of Almighty God, to be sanctified by a suspension of all servile labor, trade, and worldly avocations and by exercises of devotion, is purely a creation of the Catholic Church. — The American Catholic Quarterly Review, January, 1883, pp. 152, 139.
Protestants... accept Sunday rather than Saturday as the day for public worship after the Catholic Church made the change.... But the Protestant mind does not seem to realize that...in observing the Sunday, they are accepting the authority of the spokesman for the church, the Pope. — Our Sunday Visitor, February 5, 1950.
It is well to remind the Presbyterians, Baptists, Methodists, and all other Christians, that the Bible does not support them anywhere in their observance of Sunday. Sunday is an institution of the Roman Catholic Church, and those who observe the day observe a commandment of the Catholic Church. — Priest Brady, in an address, reported in the Elizabeth, N.J. “News,” March 18, 1903.
The mark of Catholic Church authority in the world is Sunday observance. This is a tradition that has no place in the Bible. It originated in Rome, and when we honor the Sunday tradition, we are paying homage to the papacy. Sunday goes directly contrary to the plain teaching of the fourth commandment, which declares
Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labor, and do all thy work: but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: for in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day, and hallowed it. — Exodus 20:8-11.
The papacy tells us exactly what its MARK is.
Of course the Catholic Church claims that the change [from Saturday to Sunday] was her act. And the act is a MARK of her ecclesiastical power and authority in religious matters. — C. F. Thomas, Chancellor of Cardinal Gibbons. Sunday is our MARK of authority.... The church is above the Bible, and this transference of Sabbath observance is proof of that fact. — Catholic Record, September 1, 1923 (Ontario).
By their own words, they tell us that Sunday observance is the Mark of the Beast. Remember that Satan, the devil, gave the Catholic Church its power and great authority in the world. Since the papacy is doing the bidding of the devil, it is the devil who wants the world to break God’s Sabbath commandment and worship the papacy on Sunday.
Revelation 13 and current history tell us that somewhere down the road, the Jesuits will foment another terrorist attack or create some other crisis, and in its aftermath they will be able to institute their planned desire — a National Sunday Law. They have used Waco, Oklahoma City, and the World Trade Center disasters to erode away precious constitutional liberties in America. These three events were all well planned in order to condition Americans to surrender their blood bought freedoms. This is a developing trend that will not cease until Sunday Laws are passed in this land, and then around the world. These laws will result in bloody persecution just like in the Dark Ages.
There will one day very soon be only two groups in the entire world. On one side will be the great bulk of humanity aligned with the Jesuits of the Vatican in direct rebellion against the God of the universe. The other group will be a much smaller group consisting of those who love God and keep all of His commandments. The great dividing line will be over the Ten Commandments, specifically the fourth commandment, the Sabbath commandment.
Which side will you be on? Will you embrace the papacy’s ultimate goal, Sunday observance, or will you embrace the great sign of God’s power to create and to redeem — the seventh-day Sabbath? Sunday observance, homage to the pope and to the Jesuits of the Vatican, will lead America and then the world to devastation and ruin; whereas Sabbath observance, which represents total submission to God’s commands will lead to everlasting life with the Lord Jesus Christ.
If any man worship the beast [the Catholic Church] and his image, and receive his mark [Sunday observance] in his forehead, or in his hand, The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: — Revelation 14:9, 10.
