printed in U.S.A.
WHEN THE CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE LEFT THE GLORY OF HEAVEN... HE ALLOWED HIMSELF TO BE BORN IN A SMELLY STABLE. HE WAS IN THE WORLD, AND THE WORLD WAS MADE BY HIM, AND THE WORLD KNEW HIM NOT. (John 1:10) |
John 1:10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. |
|
| 02 | Right | WHEN THE LORD JESUS PREACHED THE
GOSPEL, HE WAS ASKED WHERE HE LIVED. HE ANSWERED:
THE FOXES HAVE HOLES, AND THE BIRDS OF THE AIR HAVE NESTS; BUT THE SON OF MAN HATH NOT WHERE TO LAY HIS HEAD. (MATT. 8:20) JESUS CHRIST CHOSE HIS APOSTLES FOR A SPIRITUAL MISSION (TO CARRY OUT THE GREAT COMMISSION*). HIS CHURCH** WAS ESTABLISHED TO WIN SOULS, NOT TO ACCUMULATE WEALTH OR ESTABLISH DENOMINATIONS, MUCH LESS GET BOGGED DOWN IN SOCIAL WELFARE OR SPIN ITS WHEELS TRYING TO SOLVE SOCIAL JUSTICE PROBLEMS. ITS JOB WAS TO LIFT UP CHRIST. *MARK 16:15-16 |
Matt 8:20 And Jesus saith unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head. Mark 16:15 Acts 2:41 |
|
| 03 | Left | LATER, WHEN THE APOSTLE PETER
WAS ASKED FOR MONEY, HE SAID...
SILVER AND GOLD HAVE I NONE; AND IMMEDIATELY, THE MAN WAS HEALED. THE APOSTLE PETER'S MISSION WAS NOT TO SUPPLY MONEY FOR THE POOR, OR BUILD HOSPITALS OR CATHEDRALS, BUT TO PREACH THE GOSPEL. *ACTS 3:6 |
Acts 3:6 Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk. |
|
| 03 | Right | THE APOSTLE PETER MET ALL THE
BIBLICAL QUALIFICATIONS OF A BISHOP (I TIMOTHY
3). HERE ARE SOME OF THEM: HE WAS CALLED, AND SAVED TO SERVE. (JOHN 15:16, EPHESIANS 1:4-5) HE WAS THE HUSBAND OF ONE WIFE (MATT. 8:14) HE WAS CHOSEN AS THE APOSTLE TO THE JEWS. (GAL. 2:7-8) HE LIVED IN AN AVERAGE HOUSE WITH HIS FAMILY. (MATT. 8:14) PETER REFUSED TO HAVE ANYONE BOW DOWN TO HIM. (ACTS 10:25-26) HE RECOGNIZED BY DIVINE REVELATION THAT CHRIST WAS THE ROCK, AND PETER WAS ONLY A STONE AMONG THE APOSTLES. (MATT. 16:16-18) |
1 Tim 3:1 This is a true saying, If a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work. 1 Tim 3:2 A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach; 1 Tim 3:3 Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous; 1 Tim 3:4 One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity; 1 Tim 3:5 (For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?) 1 Tim 3:6 Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil. 1 Tim 3:7 Moreover he must have a good report of them which are without; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil. 1 Tim 3:8 Likewise must the deacons be grave, not doubletongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre; 1 Tim 3:9 Holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience. 1 Tim 3:10 And let these also first be proved; then let them use the office of a deacon, being found blameless. 1 Tim 3:11 Even so must their wives be grave, not slanderers, sober, faithful in all things. 1 Tim 3:12 Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well. 1 Tim 3:13 For they that have used the office of a deacon well purchase to themselves a good degree, and great boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus. 1 Tim 3:14 These things write I unto thee, hoping to come unto thee shortly: 1 Tim 3:15 But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth. 1 Tim 3:16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory. John 15:16 Eph 1:4 Matt 8:14 Gal 2:7 Acts 10:25 Matt 16:16 |
|
| 04 | Left | THE POWER OF THE APOSTLE PETER
CAME FROM ON HIGH (ACTS 1:8),
FROM THE HOLY SPIRIT.
THE POPE CLAIMS TO BE THE SUCCESSOR OF THE APOSTLE PETER, BUT THE POPE'S STRENGTH IS BASED ON HIS SOCIAL, ECONOMIC, AND POLITICAL POWER. SPIRITUALLY SPEAKING, HE IS THE POOREST MAN ON EARTH, AND IS BIBLICALLY LOST. |
Acts 1:8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. |
|
| 04 | Right | TODAY THIS MAN NOT ONLY CLAIMS
TO BE THE SUCCESSOR OF THE APOSTLE PETER, BUT THAT HE ALSO REPRESENTS GOD
THE SON (JESUS CHRIST), AND GOD THE HOLY SPIRIT.*
[Photo of the pope on a portable throne carried above the heads of Roman Catholic followers in a processional] THIS IS WHY THE POPE CLAIMS TO BE INFALLIBLE. HE PUTS HIMSELF IN THE PLACE OF GOD.** *JOHN 14:16 |
John 14:16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; 2 Thes 2:4 |
|
| 05 | THIS "HOLY MAN" LIVES
QUITE DIFFERENTLY THAN THE LOWLY JESUS OR PETER. HE LIVES IN WEALTH
AND SPLENDOR AND ENJOYS SEVERAL PALACES WITHIN THE VATICAN STATE.

| 06 | AS THE POPE BEGS FOR MONEY TO
KEEP THE "POOR ROMAN CATHOLIC 'CHURCH' OUT OF THE RED,"
In the meantime, the Roman Catholic institution enjoys the labor of its slaves, in convents and monasteries. You must read ESCAPE FROM A CATHOLIC CONVENT, The Testimony of Sister Charlotte available from your nearest A.I.C. distributor. See address in this tract. [Bookcover: ESCAPE From a Catholic Convent / Sister Charlotte's Testimony] *DR. RIVERA, EX-JESUIT PRIEST, CONFIRMS MUCH OF THIS INFORMATION AND PROVIDES EVEN MORE, BASED ON HIS PERSONAL EXPERIENCES IN THE VATICAN. |
Dr. Alberto R. Rivera | ||
| 07 | Left | LET'S LOOK AT HISTORY TO SEE HOW
THE ROMAN CATHOLIC INSTITUTION BECAME THE MOST POWERFUL ORGANIZATION ON
THIS PLANET.
[Christians facing lions in the Roman coliseum] THE CAESARS COULDN'T STAMP OUT CHRISTIANITY. THE MORE THEY KILLED, THE STRONGER THE CHRISTIANS BECAME. |
||
| 07 | Right |
[Caesar on throne under statue of eagle of Imperial Rome] THE CAESARS WERE WORSHIPPED AS GODS. ONE OF THEIR TITLES WAS PONTIFEX MAXIMUS.* BUT NOW THE ROMAN EMPIRE WAS COLLAPSING, AND THEY DIDN'T WANT TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE WORLD. THEY KNEW THEY HAD TO COME UP WITH A PLAN TO HANG ON TO THEIR POWER. AHHH... THEY GOT IT. SIMPLY CHANGE THEIR ROMAN TOGAS FOR RELIGIOUS COSTUMES, AND CONTROL THE WORLD AND ITS ECONOMY THROUGH RELIGION. *THE TWO BABYLONS BY HISLOP, PAGE 211 |
The Two Babylons, by Rev.
Alexander Hislop, CHAPTER VI, RELIGIOUS ORDERS, SECTION I - THE SOVEREIGN
PONTIFF, pg. 211:
..."This title had been previously borne by the high officials of the Roman Emperor, who, as "Pontifex Maximus", had been himself the representative of Janus, and who delegated his powers to servants of his own. Even in the reign of Theodosius, the Christian Emperor of Rome, the title of Cardinal was borne by his Prime Minister.* But now both the name and the power implied in the name have long since disappeared from all civil functionaries of temporal sovereigns; and those only who aid the Pope in wielding the key of Janus - in opening and shutting - are known by the title of Cardinals, or priests of the "hinge"."... *PARKHURST, Lexicon, p. 627. ..."I have said that the Pope became the representative of Janus, who, it is evident, was none other than the Babylonian Messiah. If the reader only considers the blasphemous assumptions of the Papacy, he will see how exactly it has copied from its original. In the countries where the Babylonian system was most thoroughly developed, we find the Sovereign Pontiff of Babylonian god invested with the very attributes now ascribed to the Pope. Is the Pope called "God upon earth", the "Vice-God", and "Vicar of Jesus Christ"? The King in Egypt, who was Sovereign-Pontiff,** was, says Wilkinson, regarded with the highest reverence as "THE REPRESENTATIVE OF THE DIVINITY ON EARTH".… **Wilkinson shows that the king had the right of enacting laws, and of managing all the affairs of religion and the State (vol. ii. p. 22), which proves him to have been Sovereign Pontiff. …WILKINSON'S Egyptians, vol. ii. pg. 68. |
|
| 08 | Left | CONSTANTINE HEADED UP THE FIRST
TWO COUNCILS OF THE ROMAN CATHOLIC "FAITH" AS PONTIFEX
MAXIMUS. THE RELIGION THEY ADOPTED WAS A PERVERTED MIXTURE OF
PAGANISM, JUDAISM AND SOME OF THE TEACHINGS OF CHRIST. THEY CALLED
THIS "CHRISTIANITY".
[Transformation of identities: Roman Senator (attired with toga) -> Religious Leader (attired with robe and cross in hand) -> Cardinal of Roman Catholic Church (attired as Cardinal with cross hung around neck with book in hand)] THE ROMAN, SENATE IN TIME, WOULD BECOME THE COLLEGE OF CARDINALS. THE TRUE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST WENT UNDERGROUND TO SAVE THEIR LIVES. |
||
| 08 | Right | THIS NEW RELIGIOUS POWER
INHERITED THE GOLD OF ROME, WHICH FOR CENTURIES HAD BEEN COLLECTED FROM
ALL THE LANDS THEY HAD CONQUERED (ASIA, AFRICA, ASIA MINOR AND INDIA) AND
DEPOSITED IN ROME FOR SAFETY.
AFTER CONSTANTINE MOVED HIS HEADQUARTERS TO CONSTANTINOPLE, ROME WAS IN A TURMOIL. THE BISHOPS OF ROME ENCOURAGED THE REVOLT OF THE MASSES AND THEN PAID OFF THE MILITARY GENERALS TO GAIN COMPLETE CONTROL OF THE EMPIRE. |
||
| 09 | Left | AFTER CONSTANTINE'S DEATH, THESE
RELIGIOUS CAESARS WERE DOING VERY WELL. RELIGION WAS PAYING
OFF. AFTER THE YEAR 337 A.D., THEY STARTED THE PUSH THAT MADE THEM
THE LARGEST LAND OWNERS IN EUROPE.
[The armies of the crusades from Islam] THEN TO THEIR HORROR, THE TIDE TURNED. BY THE EIGHTH CENTURY, ARMIES FROM ARABIA WERE ATTACKING AND CAPTURING THE POPE'S LANDS IN THE NAME OF ALLAH. |
||
| 09 | Right | THEIR EMPIRE WAS
SHRINKING. ONLY CENTRAL ITALY WAS LEFT, AND THE ARMY OF THE LOMBARDS
PREPARED TO TAKE OVER WHAT WAS LEFT OF THE LAST ROMAN CATHOLIC STATE.
THEIR ONLY HOPE TO SURVIVE WAS TO CONVINCE PEPIN, WHO WAS KING OF THE FRANKS, TO BRING HIS ARMY TO ROME TO DEFEND THE POPE. HOW COULD THEY TRICK HIM INTO GIVING HIS SUPPORT? THEY NEEDED A CLEVER PLAN TO PULL IT OFF. |
||
| 10 | Left | THEY HAD A WILD IDEA. IF
KING PEPIN GOT AN AIR MAIL LETTER FROM ST. PETER UP IN HEAVEN, HE MIGHT
BELIEVE IT.
SO THEY FORGED A LETTER. THEY LETTERED IT IN GOLD ON EXPENSIVE PARCHMENT. THEY WOULD TELL PEPIN THAT ST. PETER BROUGHT IT TO THE POPE. |
||
| 10 | Right | THE RELIGIOUS PROCESSION CAME TO
KING PEPIN WITH THE LETTER FROM ST. PETER UP IN HEAVEN, BEGGING HIM TO
SAVE ROME.
HE BELIEVED THEM... AND WAS THRILLED THAT ST. PETER EVEN KNEW ABOUT HIM. HE LED HIS ARMY AGAINST THE BARBARIANS AND SAVED THE POPE. |
||
| 11 | Left | WHEN THE BATTLE WAS OVER, PEPIN
GAVE POPE STEPHEN II THE CITY OF ROME AND A LIMITED AMOUNT OF THE
SURROUNDING LAND. THE GOLD WAS SAVED.
WHEN PEPIN DIED, THE GREEDY POPE FORGED ANOTHER DOCUMENT IN LATIN CLAIMING THAT PEPIN HAD GIVEN HIM ALL OF ITALY. HIS SUCCESSOR, CHARLEMAGNE, BELIEVED HIM. AND SO, THE GREATEST SWINDLE IN HISTORY WAS BEGUN BY THE MASTERS OF DECEIT. |
||
| 11 | Right | UNDER POPE HADRIAN I, THEY USED
ANOTHER FORGED DOCUMENT CALLED "THE DONATIONS OF
CONSTANTINE".
THEY TOLD CHARLEMAGNE THAT CONSTANTINE HAD MADE THE POPES HEIR TO THE ENTIRE ROMAN EMPIRE. |
||
| 12 | CHARLEMAGNE BELIEVED THEM.
IF THIS DOCUMENT COULD BE BELIEVED BY CHARLEMAGNE, MAYBE MORE KINGS AND
EMPERORS WOULD BUY IT. THE POPES DECLARED THAT THEY WERE THE
SUCCESSORS OF ST. PETER AND THAT THEY HELD THE KEYS TO LIFE AND DEATH.
THE KINGS BELIEVED THEIR LIE AND FEARING THE POPES, RELUCTANTLY ACCEPTED THE "DONATIONS OF CONSTANTINE". THE KINGS AND EMPERORS LOOKED TO ROME AS THE SPIRITUAL LEADER, AND THEY BELIEVED THE GREAT LIE THAT THE POPE WAS THE HEAD OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD ON THIS PLANET. THIS SET UP THE HOLY ROMAN EMPIRE.* *REV. 17:8 |
Rev 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. |
||
| 13 | WHEN CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS
DISCOVERED THE AMERICAS, THE POPE CONGRATULATED THE KING OF SPAIN FOR
DISCOVERING THIS UNKNOWN PROPERTY OF THE VATICAN.
THE INDIANS WERE TOLD THAT THEY HAD BEEN LIVING RENT-FREE FOR CENTURIES ON THE POPE'S LAND. THE VATICAN DEMANDED PAYMENT IN FULL BOTH IN GOLD AND PRECIOUS STONES,* SO SPANISH SOLDIERS, UNDER ORDERS FROM THEIR CONFESSORS, TORTURED AND FORCED THE INDIANS TO REMOVE ALL THEIR GOLD TREASURES FROM THEIR MINES AND OTHER SACRED PLACES... AND PUT THEM IN THE ROMAN CATHOLIC MISSIONS (THE NEW SACRED PLACE) FOR TRANSPORT TO THE VATICAN. *REV. 17:4, REV. 18:11-13 |
Rev 17:4 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: Rev 18:11 |
||
| 14 | THE COUNTRIES INVOLVED IN
DISCOVERING NEW TERRITORIES WERE CHARGED FOR THE PRIVILEGE OF RULING AND
ADMINISTRATING THE NEW LAND.
Pope, thinking to himself: THE GLORY OF THE WORLD IS MINE! 90% OF THE GOLD WENT TO THE VATICAN TREASURY FOR THE "GLORY OF GOD",* (BUT WHICH GOD?) AND 10% WAS SENT TO THE RULING KING. THE POPES ISSUED BULLS** (FORMAL PAPAL LETTERS USED ON SOLEMN OCCASIONS) TO STRENGTHEN THE "DONATIONS OF CONSTANTINE" SO THAT IT COULD BE USED IN THEIR FUTURE PLANS TO GAIN CONTROL OF THE WORLD. *MATT. 4:8-10 (JESUS REFUSED, BUT THE POPE ACCEPTED THE
OFFER.) |
Matt 4:8 Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; Matt 4:9 And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me. Matt 4:10 Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. |
||
| 15 | NOW WE SEE THE RISE OF THE
MAFIA.
PIRATE SHIPS APPEARED ON THE HIGH SEAS, CAPTURING THE SHIPS CARRYING THE GOLD. FROM THE MAST YOU COULD SEE THEIR FLAG, THE "JOLLY ROGER". [Black flag with white skull and crossbones of the pirates of the high seas] (SEE DOUBLE-CROSS, PAGE 12) IT'S STRANGE THE PIRATES NEVER ATTACKED THE SHIPS CARRYING THE POPE'S SHARE OF THE GOLD, PRECIOUS STONES, SPICES,* ETC. ONLY THE ONES GOING TO THE KINGS OF SPAIN, ENGLAND, OR PORTUGAL WERE ATTACKED. THE CLUE TO WHO WAS BEHIND THE PIRATES IS INTERESTING. THE SKULL AND CROSSBONES IS THE BLACK FLAG OF THE ROMAN CATHOLIC JESUIT PRIESTS UNDER THE EXTREME OATH AND INDUCTION. BACK IN THOSE DAYS, THE CRIMINAL ARM OF THE VATICAN BEGAN UNDER THE GUIDING HAND OF THE JESUITS. *REVELATION 18:11-13 |
Rev 18:11 And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more: Rev 18:12 The merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble, Rev 18:13 And cinnamon, and odours, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls of men. |
||
| 16 | THE RELIGIOUS CAESARS USED MANY
WAYS TO RAISE MONEY FOR THE VATICAN. THROUGHOUT HISTORY, THEIR
REPRESENTATIVES HAVE SOLD RELIGIOUS RELICS TO THE MULTITUDES FOR EXTRA
BLESSINGS, AND IN SOME CASES, "MIRACLES".
THE ROMAN CATHOLIC "CHURCHES" IN EUROPE CONTAINED 14 OF THE NAILS USED TO CRUCIFY THE SAVIOR. THREE CHURCHES HAD FORESKINS OF THE BABY JESUS AFTER HE WAS CIRCUMCISED. THERE WERE ENOUGH SMALL PIECES OF THE "ORIGINAL" CROSS ON WHICH JESUS WAS CRUCIFIED TO FILL A LARGE SHIP. EVEN NOW, PIECES OF THE CROSS ARE BEING SOLD TO NAIVE PILGRIMS IN JERUSALEM. Priest, at a relics sale, while holding up a thorn in
hand: I PERSONALLY KNOW THIS THORN WAS STUCK IN JESUS' HEAD. WOULD
I LIE? RELICS HAVE BEEN BIG BUSINESS... IN THE PAST SUCH THINGS AS MARY'S MILK AND EVEN A FEATHER SUPPOSEDLY OF THE ANGEL GABRIEL HAVE BEEN SOLD. |
|||
| 17 | THE MOST VICIOUS, DIRTY
TECHNIQUE USED BY THE ROMAN CATHOLIC SYSTEM TO RAISE MONEY WAS THE
INQUISITION.
THE VICTIM COULD BE A LAND OWNER WHO WAS FALSELY ACCUSED OF SOME CRIME SUCH AS EATING MEAT ON FRIDAY. HIS FAMILY WAS HAULED AWAY BY THE INQUISITORS, NEVER TO BE SEEN AGAIN. [Monks and nuns in dungeons torturing innocent victims to covet their possessions] THE LAND OWNER WAS TORTURED UNTIL HE CONFESSED. THEN HE WAS TRIED FOR HERESY AND BURNED TO DEATH FOR HIS CRIME. HIS LAND AND POSSESSIONS BECAME THE PROPERTY OF "MOTHER CHURCH". SHE DID VERY WELL CONSIDERING THERE WERE 68 MILLION VICTIMS.* *POPE JOHN PAUL II REFERS TO THE
INQUISITION AS A MISTAKE. |
|||
| 18 |
[Photo of Roman Catholic priest holding up a circular sunshaped wafer-god] ONE OF THE BIGGEST MONEY-MAKING SCHEMES IN HISTORY IS CALLED THE MASS. THERE ARE MANY KINDS OF MASSES, BOTH FOR THE LIVING AND THE DEAD. FOR EXAMPLE: CATHOLICS ARE TOLD THAT THEY CAN SHORTEN THEIR DEAD LOVED ONES STAY IN "PURGATORY" BY PAYING FOR SPECIAL MASSES. ONE SOUL CAN BRING IN FUNDS FROM AN ENTIRE GENERATION OR MORE OF RELATIVES AND FRIENDS, SINCE IT IS NEVER KNOWN WHEN THAT SOUL IS RELEASED FROM "PURGATORY". BESIDES THEIR NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL TRADE, THE VATICAN'S LARGEST SOURCE OF INCOME IS THE MASS. THE WHORE OF REVELATION, OR "BABYLON THE GREAT", IS THE WORLD CENTER OF TRADE, AND HAS ALWAYS USED PEOPLE IN GOVERNMENTS TO SECRETLY BUY AND SELL AS HER REPRESENTATIVES. SUPPORTING THE WHORE FROM THE BEGINNING WERE PRO-CATHOLIC JEWS WORKING AS HER MERCHANTS. THEN CAME THE MAFIA, THE ILLUMINATI, AND HER MASONS, ALONG WITH WEALTHY INDIVIDUALS SUCH AS THE HOUSE OF ROTHSCHILD, ETC., WORKING AS HER BROKERS. SEE REVELATIONS 18:9-18. |
Rev 18:9 And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning, Rev 18:10 Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come. Rev 18:11 And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more: Rev 18:12 The merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble, Rev 18:13 And cinnamon, and odours, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls of men. Rev 18:14 And the fruits that thy soul lusted after are departed from thee, and all things which were dainty and goodly are departed from thee, and thou shalt find them no more at all. Rev 18:15 The merchants of these things, which were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing, Rev 18:16 And saying, Alas, alas, that great city, that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls! Rev 18:17 For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off, Rev 18:18 And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city! |

| 19 | YEARS BEFORE THE CALIFORNIA GOLD
RUSH, ROMAN CATHOLIC PRIESTS TORTURED THE INDIANS TO MAKE THEM CONFESS
WHERE THEY WERE MINING THE GOLD FOR THEIR HOLY PLACES.
[Priest with torch in hand, interrogating an Native American Indian tied to the stake] WHEN THE VATICAN FOUND OUT WHERE THE GOLD WAS, THEY PUT UP MISSIONS IN STRATEGIC LOCATIONS THROUGHOUT CALIFORNIA* TO STORE THE GOLD FOR SHIPMENT TO THE VATICAN. THIS THEY KEPT TOP SECRET UNTIL THERE WAS A DELIBERATE LEAK AS AN ACT OF REVENGE AGAINST THE VATICAN BY THOSE OUT TO GET THEIR SHARE OF THE GOLD. [Illustration of a California, old Spanish-style Roman Catholic mission (buildings)] *21 MISSIONS IN CALIFORNIA ALONE. |
|||
| 20 | ROME ADVERTISED THE GOLD RUSH IN
HER CONTROLLED NEWS MEDIA, AND MULTITUDES FLOCKED TO CALIFORNIA.
Farmer, looking at a newspaper among a crowd: LOOK... GOLD! GOLD... DISCOVERED IN CALIFORNIA! I'M GOING THERE TODAY! SHE DID THIS TO FOCUS THE ATTENTION ON THE "DISCOVERY OF GOLD IN CALIFORNIA" TO COVER UP HER BLOODY HISTORY WITH THE INDIANS. Happy prospector, while in a saloon amongst a
crowd: I STRUCK IT RICH! |
|||
| 21 | THE VATICAN'S APPETITE FOR GOLD
AND POWER IS CONSTANTLY GROWING.
SHE ALMOST DESTROYED THE UNITED STATES WHEN HER JESUITS ENGINEERED THE CIVIL WAR* AND MURDERED ABRAHAM LINCOLN**. HER JESUITS EVEN SET UP WORLD WARS I AND II*** WHICH HAS BEEN CAREFULLY COVERED UP. TODAY, THE VATICAN HAS DECIDED THAT THE UNITED STATES WILL LOSE WORLD WAR III, SO SHE DELIBERATELY PUT A COMMUNIST IN AS POPE TO CEMENT RELATIONS WITH MOSCOW.… WHILE HER ROMAN CATHOLIC BISHOPS IN THE UNITED STATES ARE DEMANDING THAT WE DISARM AND EVEN SURRENDER TO AVOID A NUCLEAR WAR. THE AVERAGE PERSON WOULD GO INTO SHOCK IF HE KNEW THE EXTENT OF THE VATICAN'S WEALTH AND POLITICAL POWER. *THE VATICAN WAS THE ONLY GOVERNMENT THAT RECOGNIZED THE
CONFEDERATE STATES AS AN INDEPENDENT NATION. |

THE BIBLE SHOWS US THAT GOD HAS PREDICTED
THE DESTRUCTION OF THE ROMAN CATHOLIC INSTITUTION. THESE SCRIPTURES SHOW THE TREMENDOUS ECONOMIC BACKLASH FELT WORLD-WIDE WHEN THE WEALTHIEST POWER ON EARTH IS "UTTERLY BURNED WITH FIRE". (REV. 18:8) REVELATION 18:11 SAYS, "AND THE MERCHANTS OF THE EARTH SHALL WEEP AND MOURN OVER HER..." [Photo of an nuclear bomb mushroom cloud] "THE MERCHANTS OF THESE THINGS, WHICH WERE MADE RICH BY HER, SHALL STAND AFAR OFF FOR THE FEAR OF HER TORMENT, WEEPING AND WAILING, AND SAYING, ALAS, ALAS THAT GREAT CITY, THAT WAS CLOTHED IN FINE LINEN, AND PURPLE, AND SCARLET, AND DECKED WITH GOLD, AND PRECIOUS STONES, AND PEARLS! FOR IN ONE HOUR SO GREAT RICHES IS COME TO NOUGHT..." (REVELATION 18:15, 16, 17a) THE POPE CLAIMS TO BE POOR. BUT IN REALITY, ONLY THE VATICAN IN HER IMMENSE WEALTH QUALIFIES HER TO BE THE GREAT WHORE DEPICTED IN SCRIPTURE. THE VATICAN BILLIONS EXPOSES IT ALL. |

My Declaration Realizing that I, as a Roman Catholic, am not a Christian according to the bible, I am now willing to do what the Bible says to become a Christian. I now turn to the Lord Jesus Christ alone from faith in sacraments and unscriptural dogmas, rejecting the Roman Catholic Institution as the spiritual harlot as prophesied in Revelation 17. Being saved now by grace through faith according to the Word of God (Ephesians 2:8-10), I have absolute assurance of eternal life now, and forever in Heaven with Christ. (If you have received Christ as your personal Saviour through reading this message, please send us your testimony. We will send you a Bible to help you get started in the Christian life.) |
