In part one of this series I connected three entities into one future world-ruling conglomerate: 1) a Beast government, 2) a Great Whore that will “ride” the Beast and 3) the whore’s Harlot Daughters who will return to her in the last days of this age.  These entities are identified as: 1) the European Union, 2) the Catholic Church and 3) the Protestant churches.  The original Beast was the Roman Empire which ruled most of Europe during the height of its power.  The European Union rules the same area today.  Anciently, the Catholic Church “rode” the Roman Empire by directing her actions against those who resisted the church’s command to “convert” to Catholicism.  When the “protesters” left the mother church many years later they left physically, but not spiritually.  The simply became reflections of her by serving and obeying the same god–Satan.  According to Scripture, these three entities will unite at the end of the age to rule the people of earth politically and spiritually for a short time prior to the return of Jesus Christ.  However, not everyone bowed to the mother church and her Roman enforcers.

Throughout history God has always had a remnant of true believers–His Very Elect, His Saints, His Little Flock–who refused to bow to the Catholic and Protestant churches’ beliefs and practices.   Many were martyred.  But some survived to carry on God’s program of personal holiness.   Today this tiny group numbers a few thousand world-wide while the mother whore and her harlot daughters number in the billions.  For proof of the popularity of Satan’s church system, look in any phone book under CHURCHES, and count.

Let us for a short time examine that which calls itself “the church” (Catholicism/Protestantism) in these modern times and determine how heathen, Babylonian, Chaldean beliefs and practices were not only embraced by her, but came to dominate her theologically.  As stated elsewhere, the heathen masses were forced into the mother church by the Roman army.  In order to satisfy her pagan “converts,” the church changed many Biblical Truths and practices to conform to their theology.  I call this phenomenon “Religious Comingling.”  When the so-called Protestants left the mother church it was not because of their theology.  We know this because upon their departure they took many Catholic beliefs and practices with them.  The Introduction to this website identifies some of them.

In Daniel  7:25 the prophet foretells of a “little horn” (ruler) who, during the latter days, would “change times and Laws.”  That “little horn” is the Catholic Church who changed such “times” as the beginning of the day from sundown to the middle of the night, and the beginning of the year from mid-spring to mid-winter.  She also changed God’s Holy Days into holidays that the heathen had brought into the church.  She even changed one of His Ten Commandments to satisfy her sun worshiping “converts.”  The following are a few documented statements taken from Catholic writings that reveal the mindset behind her willingness to accept any belief or practice that increases her headcount by keeping her “converts” happy.  I will use only a few of her own statements to prove the Satanic mindset of the whore and her harlot daughters.  I will concentrate on only one of the many changes she has made to God’s unchangeable Word–the change she made in the 4th commandment of God’s eternal Law which relates to His unchangeable, eternal Sabbath.  This, God told Moses, is His “test commandment”–His “SIGN” (“MARK”) which reveals who is and who is not His true disciple (Exo. 31:12-16).  Then, as now, ANYONE WHO DOES NOT OBSERVE GOD’S SEVENTH DAY SABBATH THAT HE CREATED, SANCTIFIED AND CALLED HIS DAY IS NOT HIS CHILD.  This includes the people I will quote in the following statement.

During the Council of Laodicea which was held in 364 A.D., a church law was formulated declaring that from that date onward the church would observe the Sabbath on the first day of the week instead of the Lord’s commanded seventh day of the week.  Stephen Keenan writing in A Doctrinal Cathchism, pg. 174, stated: “Had she (the church) not had such power (to change the Sabbath–a “time”) she could not have substituted the observance of Saturday, the last day of the week, for the observance of Sunday, a change for which there is no (Biblical) authority.”  Father Enright noted in History of the Sabbath that, “The Bible says, ‘Remember that thou keep holy the Sabbath day.’  The Catholic Church says, ‘By my divine power I abolish the Sabbath day and command you to keep the first day of the week.’  And lo, the entire civilized world bows down to the command of the holy Catholic Church.” “Sunday is a Catholic institution, and its claims to observance can be only on Catholic principles ….  From beginning to end of the Scriptures there is not a single passage that warrants the transfer of weekly public worship from the last day of the week to the first.  The Catholic Press.  In Faith of our Fathers, Cardinal Gibbons wrote: “… you may read the Bible from Genesis to Revelation and you will not find a single line authorizing the sanctification of Sunday.  The Scriptures enforce the religious observance of Saturday, a day which we never sanctify.”

An important part of the Sunday Sabbath Law involved what one could not do on the church’s newly established Sabbath.  One could not buy, sell or work on that day.  Refraining from buying, selling and working on that day was the “MARK” (“sign”) that proved that the bearer obeyed the church’s Sabbath rules.  These rules (laws) were enforced by the Roman Empire–the Beast upon which the church “rode” during the height of that evil empire.

Some time between 90 and 100 A.D. the Lord gave the Apostle John a vision in which he was shown what would happen to the world’s people during the final 3 1/2 years of the age.  As recorded in Revelation 17:3-6, Jesus revealed to John that a “woman” (church) would ride (control) a Beast (government) that would rule the world with an iron hand in the latter days.  In verse 4 and 5 the woman was “arrayed in purple and scarlet, with gold, precious stones and pearls, carrying a golden cup filled with abominations and filthiness of her fornication (whoredoms).”  She is called MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT (CATHOLICISM), THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS (PROTESTANTISM) AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.”  What church has a leader who dresses as this whore was dressed and bedecked?  What church has a leader who wears a crown while sitting on a throne carried by men?  What church claims the power to change any part of the Holy Bible she wishes to change?  She claims to have the power to change “… even the precepts of Christ.”  Only the Catholic Church openly proclaims such power.  Her Protestant daughters (denominations) exercise the same power but are not as vocal about doing so.  In verse 6 we are told that this whore church was drunken with the blood of the saints and martyrs of Jesus.”  During the Catholic Inquisition this blood-thirsty bitch martyred between 50 million and 150 million people, many of them God’s saints.  She, along with her daughter bitches, continue the slaughter.  The difference is that today they kill people spiritually by presenting a false Christianity, a false god and a false messiah.

Anciently, the Beast and the whore forced people to bear a “MARK” that showed the person’s allegiance to the church’s Sabbath law which forbad buying, selling and working.  Fast forward to John’s vision depicting the end time when the Beast, the whore and her False Prophet would rule the earth.  In Revelation 13:16,17 it is written concerning that future time: “And he (the False Prophet–pope) will make all people receive a “MARK” in their right hand or in their foreheads.”  No man will be able to buy, sell or work on the Sabbath.  Also, unless one bares the “MARK OF THE BEAST” or the name or number of the Beast one will not be able to buy, sell or work at all, at any time.  The Beast government will enforce the “MARK” rule.  WHICH IS THE SAME LAW, THE SAME CHURCH AND, IF I AM RIGHT, THE SAME GOVERNMENT THAT WERE INVOLVED IN THE CHURCH-STATE SABBATH LAW ANCIENTLY.  Coincidence?  I think not.  If I am right, history will repeat itself.

The European Union has stated in its constitution that Catholicism is the official religion of the union.  Once again, the whore is riding the Beast.  The whore was the entity that forced the Sunday Sabbath Law upon her parishioners.  This was in conjunction with Emperor Constantine’s  Sunday Sabbath law that he enforced throughout the empire.  Because of these historical facts that I believe that the “MARK” of the Beast will involve the Sunday Sabbath.  It will be a “SIGN” that one is in compliance with state and church law.  The “MARK” or “SIGN” could easily be part of a card, or a type of paperwork one will required to carry.  It could also be part of a skin tattoo or a implanted capsule utilized by national governments to monitor and control their citizens.  Revelation tells us that all governments and all churches will come together as one entity in the end times and totally control the world’s people.  Having a military comprised of millions of personnel, it is easy to see how such a Beast/whore conglomerate could rule the planet.  And it COULD begin with a colorful virus called “carona” (crown) which is producing a deadly scourge called COVID-19.  L.J.
