GOD WARNED US ABOUT PAPAL ROME, BUT THE WORLD TURNED A BLIND EYE AND IS NOW CAUGHT IN HER NET!
God warned us! He warned us good! But the world and the churches have
turned a blind eye to the warning and are now caught in Papal Rome's net, falling headlong into her final deception.
In an interview just yesterday on Fox news (20th June 2023), Donald Trump said the following:
"China is a very smart country, they own us. Until I came along, they just owned every president." (source)
That is a DIVERSION from the truth, and it shows that Trump is also under the snare of Papal Rome and probably controlled opposition, and those who think he is going to be some kind of 'saviour' are going to fall right into Satan's trap! Please pay careful attention to the following and study this for yourself, so that you may see the TRUTH of the matter.
In Daniel 2, God gave us a prophecy of the kingdoms that would control the world from the days of Babylon to the END.
Daniel 2:32-34 ...'This image's head was of fine gold, his breast and his arms of silver, his belly and his thighs of brass, His legs of iron, his feet part of iron and part of clay. Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay, and brake them to pieces.'
Daniel said unto King Nebuchadnezzar who had the dream of this image ... "Thou art this head of gold. And after thee shall arise another kingdom inferior to thee, and another third kingdom of brass, which shall bear rule over all the earth. And THE FOURTH KINGDOM shall be strong as iron" (Daniel 2:38-40). So Babylon was the head of gold, and history confirms that after Babylon, Medo Persia ruled the world (chest of silver), then Greece (thigh of bronze), then Rome (legs of iron). We are then shown that when Rome falls, the final 'kingdom' (the feet) would be partly strong and partly broken and never be united again like the world nations of the past.
Keep in mind that Rome (legs of iron) was the FOURTH KINGDOM. And what were we told about the feet in verse 41? That the IRON (ROME) would continue and be the "strength" or CONTROLLING element in the final kingdom.
This is so important to understand. Rome in some way or manner was to continue into the last phase of this world's history and be the strength or controlling influence over this 'broken' final kingdom. But Rome fell, so how could this be true? When you understand the TRUTH regarding Daniel 7 and Revelation 12 and 13, then you will see how this happened, and this is important truth which the world and churches have been blinded to.
In Daniel 7 we have a prophecy of 4 beasts. A prophecy that few understand today. We know that these 4 beasts represent nations on earth because verse 23 of Daniel 7 confirms that fact. But verse 23 also reveals to us which nations those 4 beasts represent. Look at what it says:
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.'
Now many of the churches today interpret the 4 beasts of Daniel 7 as nations specific to the end times, and they miss the all important clue above. The 4th beast was to be the FOURTH KINGDOM upon earth. This point alone shows these beasts CANNOT be end time nations. Instead of using scripture to interpret scripture, the various churches of the world just use wild speculations, and thus they are left in darkness. This is why they have missed the warning God gave regarding Papal Rome.
What was the FOURTH KINGDOM upon earth in Daniel 2? The legs of iron which everyone accepts is ROME. Babylon is the FIRST "kingdom upon earth," because from the time of this prophecy, Babylon was the main ruling world power and this is where God begins in the prophecy (head of gold). So the FOURTH kingdom upon earth can only be the Roman Empire. Daniel 7 is a repeat prophecy of Daniel 2 but with even more information. And look at what came out from the Roman Empire:
Daniel 7:19,24,25 ...'Then I would know the truth of the fourth beast, which was diverse from all the others, exceeding dreadful ... 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. 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.'
This fourth beast HAS to be Rome because it is the fourth kingdom upon earth since Babylon. If we ignore the fact that this is the fourth kingdom since Babylon, then we have nothing to identify these beasts with and this prophecy is no use to us. But praise God He doesn't leave us hanging like that. Now why is this kingdom 'DIVERSE' from all the others? Because it changed from a PAGAN desolating power to a PROFESSED CHRISTIAN desolating power. From PAGAN Rome to PAPAL Rome, which the 2300 day prophecy of Daniel 8 also speaks of. The ten horns which are on this fourth beast represent the original 10 nations of Europe which Rome split into when it fell, and the 'other horn' which was 'diverse' and would subdue 3 of the other horns and wear out the saints of God and think to change God's law, is none other than the Papal Church of Rome which took control of the world when Pagan Rome fell.
Remember the IRON (ROME) in the feet of Daniel 2? It was to continue into the final kingdom and was to be the 'strength' or CONTROLLING power right until the end. Pagan Rome fell, so the only Roman element that remained and continued was PAPAL ROME!
The apostle Paul spoke about this in 2 Thessalonians 2, when he said ... "that day [SECOND COMING] shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed" who would "sit in the temple of God, showing himself to be God." Then Paul said that something is holding that man of sin from being revealed ... "And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time. For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. And then shall that Wicked be revealed" (2 Thess.2:1-8). What was 'holding' the man of sin from being revealed? What needed to be 'taken out of the way'? Paul said that whatever was 'in the way' of the man of sin was in the way and holding back the man of sin in Paul's day. And what was the power in Paul's day? PAGAN ROME!
Revelation 12 and 13 speak of this also. The dragon in Revelation represents the devil, but also something else. Is the devil a 7 headed dragon with 10 horns? No. As we know a beast in prophecy represents a kingdom (Daniel 7:23). This beast also represents a nation through which Satan especially used. Revelation 12 says that the dragon sought to kill the 'man child' when he was born, who was then caught up to God. That is clearly CHRIST. Which nation sought to kill Christ when He was a child? PAGAN ROME. Which nation did actually kill Christ? PAGAN ROME. The dragon in Revelation 12 also represents Pagan Rome. Then we have the SAME beast in Revelation 13 but with different clothes on. And look at what Revelation 13 says:
Revelation 13:2 ...'The dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.'
What or who did PAGAN Rome give its power, seat and authority over to? PAPAL Rome!
When Emperor Constantine moved his capital from Rome to Constantinople in modern day Turkey, the bishops of Rome took the seat of power in Rome and began to rule. Thus we have the iron continuing into the feet of Daniel 2. Not Pagan Rome, but PAPAL Rome, with the bishops and popes now taking the throne and being the CONTROLLING influence over the final kingdom. God even gives us this fuller picture in Revelation 17 with the HARLOT riding the beast. This is a more detailed picture of the beast of Revelation 13. God is showing us that the CONTROLLING influence over the kingdoms of the world in the end times is an apostate CHURCH - the Papal Church of Rome. But as confirmed in Revelation 17, she is a MOTHER of harlots. In other words, she has 'daughter' harlot churches who follow and do the bidding of their mother. These are the fallen Protestant churches.
Who is the world being deceived into following and worshipping? The Papal Church of Rome. The governments, the apostate churches, teaching institutions, financial institutions, corporate businesses, military, are all leading the world into the arms of Papal Rome!
Let me give you a very interesting fact of history regarding the reign of kingdoms:
Babylon (neo-Babylonian empire) reigned for about 70 years
Medo Persia reigned for about 200 years
Greece reigned for about 160 years
Rome (both Pagan AND Papal) reigned for about 1890 years, with Papal Rome continuing to influence the world today! Remember the iron in the feet of Daniel 2!
So Rome, in both its Pagan and Papal forms ruled the world for just under 2000 years! That's over 4 times the length of all the other previous nations in the prophecy combined! And the rule of both Pagan and Papal Rome, as the prophecy states in Daniel 7 would be exceeding dreadful. Pagan Rome fulfilled this in its persecution of God's people and Papal Rome took it to the next level, by persecuting and killing MILLIONS of true Christians, just because they wanted to follow God's Word (Jesus) instead of the pope! This is why Rome is called the 'abomination of desolation' in Daniel 8. God has given the warning of this antichrist power, but the Jesuits have infiltrated the various churches and institutions and deceived them with false teachings, DIVERTING the world to the likes of China, etc., instead of Rome.
So who is that CONTROLLING influence over America and the world? It is NOT China. It is the Vatican (Papal Rome). For instance, who is directing the policies of the World Health Organization? THE VATICAN (see here). Who is leading the charge with the climate change agenda? THE VATICAN (see here). Who is directing the Rothschilds and financial institutions? THE VATICAN (see here). Who is heavily involved in the world's intelligence agencies? THE VATICAN (see here). The list goes on and on. God warned us that the ROMAN Catholic Church would be the controlling element in the final kingdom (iron mixed with clay) and that the world would be caused to worship her and take her mark.
The centralizing of wealth and power we see taking place in the world today is all about CONTROL. To get the world into position ready to be caused to worship Papal Rome by bowing to her dictates and to receive her mark. Her merchants, as Revelation 18 says, are the 'great men of the earth' (Rothschilds, Rockerfellers, George Soros, Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, etc., etc.,) And by her sorceries (deceptions, pharmakeia, Pharmaceuticals, drugs, jabs, etc.) are all nations deceived! But as Revelation 18 confirms, this will all come crashing down when God finally judges her and her followers.
But do you think the mark of the beast is going to be some easy, straight forward obvious thing? No, it's going to be a massive deception! So many people are looking in the wrong place, at technology, a microchip or some literal, physical marking, when this issue is ALL to do with WORSHIP and God's commandments. Papal Rome is at the CENTER of this final deception and when we understand this, then we can understand better WHAT the final deception and mark is going to center around.
The three angels messages of Revelation 14 is the ANSWER to the final mark of the beast deception of Papal Rome. And as we are told in verse 12 of Revelation 14, the true end time saints of God who do NOT receive the mark, are those who are keeping the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus Christ. Please seek the truth as the final deception is soon upon us.
God has given us the clear warning about Papal Rome. Will you heed the warning? Please see our following pages for further study in these things:
