January 25, 2025 at 12:09 am#947187BereanParticipantThe Gospel in Creation
by waggoner Ellet Joseph
THE FIRST DAY â CREATION AND REDEMPTION
âIN the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.â 1 In this brief sentence we have the whole of the truth of the Gospel summed up. He who reads aright may derive a world of comfort from it.
In the first place, let us consider who it was that created the heaven and the earth. âGod created.â But Christ is God, the brightness of the Fatherâs glory, and the express image of His person. 2 He Himself said, âI and My Father are one.â 3 He it was who, representing the Father, created the heaven and the earth. âIn the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by Him; and without Him was not anything made that was made.â 1 And again we read of Christ, that âby Him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by Him and for Him: and He is before all things, and by Him all things consist.â
The Father Himself addresses the Son as God and as Creator. The first chapter of Hebrews says that God has not at any time said to any of the angels, âThou art My Son, this day have I begotten Thee.â âBut unto the Son He saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of Thy kingdom.â And He has also said to the Son, âThou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth, and the heavens are the works of Thine hands.â 3 So we are well assured that when we read in the first chapter of Genesis, âIn the beginning God created the heaven and the earth,â it refers to God in Christ.
Creative power is the distinguishing mark of Divinity. The Spirit of the Lord, through the prophet Jeremiah, describes the vanity of idols, and then continues, âBut the Lord is the true God, He is the living God, and an everlasting King: at His wrath the earth shall tremble, and the nations shall not be able to abide His indignation. Thus shall ye say unto them, The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth, even they shall perish from the earth, and from under these heavens. He hath made the earth by His power, He hath established the world by His wisdom, and hath stretched out the heavens by His discretion.â 1 The earth was made by His power, and established by His Wisdom. But Christ is âthe power of God, and the wisdom of God.â So here again we find Christ inseparably connected with creation as the Creator. Only as we acknowledge and worship Christ as the Creator do we acknowledge His Divinity.
Christ is Redeemer by virtue of His power as Creator. We read that âwe have redemption through His blood, even the forgiveness of sins,â because that âby Him were all things created.â 2 If He were not Creator, He could not be Redeemer.
This means simply that redemptive power and creative power are the same. To redeem is to create. This is shown in the statement of the apostle that the Gospel is the power of God unto salvation; which statement is immediately followed by another to the effect that the power of God is seen by means of the things that have been made. 1 When we consider the works of creation, and think of the power manifested in them, we are contemplating the power of redemption.
There has been a great deal of idle speculation as to which is the greater, redemption or creation. Many have thought that redemption is a greater work than creation. Such speculation is idle, because only infinite power could perform either work, and infinite power cannot be measured by human minds. But while we cannot measure the power, we can easily settle the question of which is the greater, because the Scriptures give us the information. Neither is greater than the other, for both are the same. Redemption is creation. Redemption is the same power that was put forth in the beginning to create the world and all that is in it, now put forth to save men and the earth from the curse of sin.
The Scriptures are very clear on this point. The Psalmist prayed, âCreate in me a clean heart, and renew a right spirit within me.â 1 The apostle says, that âif any man be in Christ, he is a new creature,â 2 or a new creation. And again we read, âFor by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained, that we should walk in them.â
Compared with God, man is âless than nothing, and vanity.â 4 In him âdwelleth no good thing.â 5 Now the same power that in the beginning made the earth from nothing, takes man, if he is willing, and makes of him that which is âto the praise of the glory of His grace.

ANSWER
THIS IS BLASPHEMY!
DISHONOURING TO GOD!
THE MAIN PILLARS OF THE PAPAL SYSTEM COMES FROM PAGANISM – MARY WORSHIP CAME FROM ANCIENT BABYLON, WHERE THE VIRGIN MOTHER-gODDESS WAS WORSHIPED UNDER THE NAME OF ISHTAR! THUS SATAN, WORKING THROUGH THE PAPACY TO DECEIVE – FLEE FROM HER WHILE THERE IS STILL TIME!THE PAPAL DOCTRINE ABOUT MARY – Instead of teaching the people to look to God and Christ as their helpers, Catholics were told that only Mary and other dead people could intercede for them – the church leaders had erected high walls between the people and their Saviour.
SEDUCING SPIRITS & DOCTRINES OF DEVILS!
The apostle Paul warned us, saying, NOW the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devilsâ 1 Timothy 4:11John 2:22-26: âWho is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son. Whosever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: [but] he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also. Let that therefore abide in you, which ye have heard from the beginning. If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father. And this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal life. These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you.â
Antichrist denies both the Father and the Son, but how? – He does so seductively or deceptively. John wrote, âThese things have I written unto you, concerning them that seduce you.â The text does not say that antichrist does not speak about the Father and the Son. What it does say is that antichrist denies the Father and the Son in a way that seduces Christians. What then is the relationship between the Father and the Son? JESUS SAID, âI am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.â John 14:6. Paul said, âFor there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.â 1 Timothy 2:5.
DOES ANTICHRIST DENY THAT THE ONLY WAY TO THE FATHER IS THROUGH JESUS CHRIST? – He certainly does. And if you deny that relationship between the Father and the Son, you are also denying the Son. Can antichrist deny that relationship and still claim or profess to follow Christ? – Yes, and this is what makes antichrist so deceptive.
SPIRITUALISM – FLEE TO THE GOD OF HEAVEN & IN HIS STRENGTH, RESIST THESE EVIL POWERS.

January 11, 2025 at 8:56 pm#947181BereanParticipantJanuary 8, 2025 at 10:40 pm#947179BereanParticipantHi and best wishes all,
Many are teaching today that when Jesus returns, He will establish an earthly kingdom and that the kings of this present time will submit to His rule or be destroyed. But thatâs not the picture we see in these verses. All the kingdoms of this world will be destroyed at the brightness of His coming, an event seen by every living person.
No matter where a person lives, no matter what language he speaks or what age he is, when Christ returns, he will know about it: âBehold, He is coming with clouds, and every eye will see Him. ⊠And all the tribes of the earth will mourn because of Himâ (Revelation 1:7).
All those who have disdained Christâs mercy, call, and love will face what they have done. Sadly, we see that people from all walks of lifeârich and poor, master and servant, worldly wise and celebrityâwill choose against their Creator.
In response, they would all rather die than embrace Him. Why? âBecause I have called and you refused, I have stretched out my hand and no one regardedâ (Proverbs 1:24). Our God did all He could so that âall should come to repentanceâ (2 Peter 3:9); our Savior, when He was sacrificed on the cross, said, âFather, forgive them, for they do not know what they doâ (Luke 23:34). The truth of who God is and what He did for every human being will be undeniable. And those who did not take His gift of eternal life will know what they have lost. It will be more than they can bear.
At this very moment, Christ our Advocate is interceding for each of us; He is giving you every chance He can, down to the wire, to repent. What is left for those who have refused life from the One who holds the keys to eternal life?
Gracious Redeemer, may I never deny, may I never reject Your offer. May I be found among those who ever desire to seek Your face.

December 27, 2024 at 4:45 am#947162BereanParticipantRevelation 17 and its Kings
With the startling news of Pope Benedictâs resignation, countless expositors of Scripture
declared that his fall was part of the fulfillment of Revelation 17. Did Benedictâs fall have
anything to do with that chapter? Let us examine the cryptic symbols therein to ascertain the
truth.
Beginning in earnest at the time of the Reformation, the identity of the great whore of
Revelation 17 has not been in doubt. All of the Protestant Reformers agreed that the great whore
of Revelation 17 is the system of Roman Catholicism. Some of the more blatant characteristics
of the whore are the following:1. It unites with the leaders/state governments bringing the church and state together. (V.2)
2. It commits blasphemy. (V. 3)
a. This is claiming to be God. (John 10:30-33)
b. This is claiming power to forgive sins. (Matthew 2:5-7)
3. It is very wealthy. (V. 4)
4. It has killed millions of Christâs followers for centuries. (V. 6)
5. Its geographical foundation is founded on 7 hills/mountains. (V. 9)
6. Its name is found in a great city in our world. (V. 18)
These characteristics led the reformers and honest Bible students to one obvious conclusion;
the whore is the papacy and only the papacy!! While the identity of the great whore is clear,
other parts of the chapter have baffled many for a long time. We will seek to understand those
difficult passages in this paper.
The time frame for this chapter can be deciphered by looking at Revelation 17:3. âSo he
carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured
beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.â In order to behold the
workings of the papacy, John had to go into the wilderness. What does the wilderness represent
and when did the papacy go there? We know that the true church had to flee into the wilderness
during the Dark Ages. âAnd the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place
prepared of God that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.â
Rev. 12:6 The place where the true church fled was into seclusion and obscurity. âPersecution
opened upon the faithful with greater fury than ever before, and the world became a vast
battlefield. For hundreds of years the church of Christ found refuge in seclusion and obscurity.
Thus says the prophet: “The woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of
God that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and three-score days.” Revelation
12:6. The accession of the Roman Church to power marked the beginning of the Dark Ages.â
Great Controversy, pgs. 54, 55John, in Revelation 17:3 had to behold the papacy in seclusion and obscurity. When was
this? For over 1,000 years, the papacy wielded universal power; they surely werenât in seclusion
and obscurity. A change occurred in 1798 when Pope Pius the 6th was taken captive and died in
exile. It was in 1798 that the papacy went into seclusion and obscurity. This is the time frame of
Rev. 17. Revelation 18:1 pinpoints another key event just into the near future. Rev. 18:1 reads,
âAnd after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and
the earth was lightened with his glory.â This passage highlights the falling of the Latter Rain in
which the 3rd Person of the Godhead, the Holy Spirit, will empower Godâs children to:
1. Live the character of God in their own lives.
2. Preach the final message of warning to the world.
3. Prepare to stand through the 7 last plagues.
4. Enable them to stand when Jesus comes.
The time frame for these two chapters is from 1798 to the out pouring of the latter rain power
of the Holy Spirit. Within this time frame, we will now pick up the cryptic passages that baffle
so many. âAnd the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the
mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten
horns. 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.â Rev. 17:7, 8
A beast is carrying the whore, giving her force, power, and authority. The beast is
intriguing because he has a time when he was powerful, then has a time when he isnât existing,
and then he comes back to life one last time, only to go into oblivion! The beast has three
periods of existence. Rev. 17:11 also declares that âAnd the beast that was, and is not, even he is
the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.â The books of Daniel and Revelation
pinpoint several powers that impacted Godâs people in dramatic ways. Rev. 17 mentions 7 of
them and tells us that the beast is the 8th and he is also one of the 7 powers!!
Who can this beast be? Given the characteristics, it becomes clear that the beast represents
the political power given to the papacy by the governments of the world. Notice, the political
powers gave the papacy their power during the Dark Ages. Then, in 1798, the papacy lost
political power, and since then, she has been gradually regaining that power! In the light of
Revelationâs picture of the papacyâs political power at a height, then losing it, and then regaining
it one final time, it becomes obvious that the New World Order today is not new at all. The New
World Order is simply the revival of the political power of Rome one last time!!
Well, then what about those other kings? âAnd there are seven kings: five are fallen, and
one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.
And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into
perdition.â Rev. 17:10, 11 Remembering clearly that the time frame for this passage is 1798-to the latter rain, which kings/kingdoms had fallen by the time of 1798? Bible prophecy
admits of none other. We behold through Revelationâs sister book, Daniel, the rise and fall of
kingdoms. We have in prophetic order:
1 Babylon 605-539 BC
2. Media-Persia 539-331 BC
3. Greece 331-168 BC
4. Pagan Rome 168 BC- to 476 AD
5. Papal Rome (holding political power given her by governments) 538-1798 AD
As John discussed the seven kings, he said that 5 had fallen and the time frame was 1798.
By 1798, the five fallen kingdoms were the ones just mentioned. From Babylon and
Nebuchadnezzar to the deadly wound of the papacy in 1798, we have five fallen kingdoms.
Then, John says, that there is one kingdom, and another that would come. Who might this
kingdom be that was in existence in 1798 and would grow into a superpower in this world?
What world power would have great weight in the effect it would have on Godâs people?
Clearly, the nation referred to here is the United States. She fulfills every specification of
this portion of this prophecy. America was on the rise in 1798, would continue on its path to
being a superpower in this world, and had great influence on the work of Godâs people.
Revelation 17, in finishing the discussion of the 7 kings/kingdoms, declares one other
power would arise sometime in the future and would continue for a short space. We are
fortunate to have the added light of 200 years of history since 1798. It seems clear that the
power described here would be atheistic Communism as seen in Russia. No other world
power in the last 200 years has influenced the world as has Russia. No other power has
affected the work of Godâs people as Russia. While America has made possible the
promulgation of Godâs truth throughout the world, Russia, for the greater part of this time,
has sought to squelch the work of Godâs people in this world!
As we have already noticed, the beast is the 8th king/kingdom and is one of the original 7.
Looking over the 7 kingdoms, it is very obvious that the one kingdom that was powerful, went
into obscurity, and then rises again, can only be the political power of the papacy granted to them
one last time by the governments of the world. The papacy, the governments of the world, the
churches, and the financial elite, are warring with the Lamb, Jesus Christ today. The outcome of
this final battle is not left to doubt for we read, âThese shall make war with the Lamb, and the
Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with
him are called, and chosen, and faithful.â Revelation 17:14God bless
December 25, 2024 at 9:34 pm#947160BereanParticipantWith Representatives from Various Churches, Pope Francis Launches 2025 Jubilee, a Project Aimed at Renewing the Catholic Faith
âThe wide diversity of belief in the Protestant churches is regarded by many as decisive proof that no effort to secure a forced uniformity can ever be made. But there has been for years, in churches of the Protestant faith, a strong and growing sentiment in favor of a union based upon common points of doctrine.â (Great Controversy, p. 444).
A union between the churches is coming which will precede the Sunday law crisis and will involve the abandonment of clear biblical teachings. We were warned that Protestantism would adopt Catholic practices, leading to the development of a false universal system of worship. Today, Protestantism is truly becoming more and more like Rome every dayâin terms of appearances, words, actions, characteristics, and faith. The Bible is becoming less meaningful and valuable in our day and age as Protestantism becomes more and more allied with the Catholic Church.The Vaticanâs 2025 Jubilee, also known as a Holy Year, is a major religious event in the Catholic Church. According to the Catholic Standard, the official weekly newspaper for the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Washington, 2025 Jubilee is a special year of grace, prayer, and pilgrimage, offering an opportunity to renew the Catholic faith and receive special âplenary indulgences.â These Jubilees traditionally occur every 25 years, but what makes this yearâs event unique is that for the first time, members of a multi-faith delegation participated with Pope Francis in âcrossingâ the threshold of the âholy doorâ located in St. Peterâs Basilica, representing a shared and visible sign of unity that Rome wants all Christians to participate in.
The Catholic Standard published the following on December 24, 2024:
âą âIn the quiet of Christmas Eve, Pope Francis opened the Holy Door of St. Peterâs Basilica, launching what he called a âJubilee of Hopeâ.â [1]
âą âThe steps we now take are the steps of the whole church, a pilgrim in the world and a witness of peace,â the pope told the assembled cardinals, bishops, ecumenical guests and lay faithful in the atrium of the basilica.â [1]
âą âPope Francis prayed that the Holy Spirit would soften hardened hearts so that enemies may speak to each other again, adversaries may join hands and people seek to meet together.â [1]
âą âNeither the Vatican press office nor the Jubilee press office released the names of the pilgrims or explained how they were chosen.â [1]
âą âAlso among the first to cross the threshold were representatives of other Christian churches.â [1]
The fact that many churches have joined Pope Francis in crossing the threshold into a new era of common witness in which adversaries have come together as friends is a necessary fulfillment of biblical prophecy that is needed for the implementation of the mark of the beast. The churches will not influence the state to impose the mark until all are united in one:
âThe Protestants of the United States will be foremost in stretching their hands across the gulf to grasp the hand of spiritualism;Â they will reach over the abyss to clasp hands with the Roman power; and under the influence of this threefold union, this country will follow in the steps of Rome in trampling on the rights of conscience.â (Great Controversy, p. 588).
âWhen the leading churches of the United States, uniting upon such points of doctrine as are held by them in common, shall influence the state to enforce their decrees and to sustain their institutions, then Protestant America will have formed an image of the Roman hierarchy, and the infliction of civil penalties upon dissenters will inevitably result.â (The Great Controversy, p. 445)
We were warned that the time would come when Protestants, forgetting the principles of the Reformation, would seek common ground with the Roman Catholic Church. This is described as âreaching across the gulfâ to clasp hands with Catholicism, motivated by a desire for unity and a consolidation of religious power. This act would be a betrayal of the Protestant history and heritage because the Reformation was founded on the principles that the Holy Scriptures are the ultimate authority in matters of faith and practice, which are in direct opposition to the principles of the 2025 Jubilee in Rome.We are seeing the final chapter of the Reformation as strange events, both in the religious and secular worlds, unfold before our eyes. The religious stage is being set. Almost all the churches have united. The Roman Catholic Church has apparently had the most to gain from the atmosphere of ecumenism. The entire world is being wooed to join the great apostate fellowship found in Revelation 13, 17, and 18.
The 500 years of rich Protestant history have been rejected, cast down, and âtrodden under footâ (Daniel 8:14) as more and more Reformation churches line up to embrace their mother, Rome. Protestants used to reject the Popeâs claims of infallibility and supremacy as blasphemous during the Reformation era. They broke away from Rome because of her false doctrines. And what doctrines have changed in Catholicism since then? None.
Pope Francis has done more than any previous pope to unite Protestants and Catholics. One must grasp the magnitude of what is happening before our eyes: the complete surrender of the Protestant Reformation of the 16th century.

When the beast” IS “, il means the woman and beast ARE ONE.
IN REV.17 WE SEE THE JUDGMENT OF THE ROMAN RELIGIOUS POWER, THE WHORE, NOT THE BEAST.
IN REVELATION 13, THE SYMBOL OF THE WHORE IS NOT SHOWN, BUT WE HAVE THE SAME POLITICO/RELIGIOUS POWER AGAINST THE SAINTS OF GOD.
đ
And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.
[6] And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.
[7] And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.đ

Hi Proclaim
This is what is said of the judgment of the woman who prostituted herself with the kings of the earth for 1260 years. (538-1798)see Rev.13]
Rev.17
[1] And there came one of the seven angels who had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee đthe judgment of đthe great whore that sits upon many waters:
[2] With whom đthe kings of the earth have committed fornication,đ and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.âŠ.
6] And I sawđ the woman drunken with đthe blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus:đ and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.
How could this whore become âdrunken with đthe blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus:đ that is the question.
Because a church normally does not have an army to wage war, nor a police force to pursue delinquents.
The only way the Roman Catholic Church (RCC) in the past has been able to persecute the saints of Jesus is that it has used the secular power of the kings and princes of the earth after converting them to its cause. (The 10 HORNS crowned in Rev.13:1)
In the book of Daniel it says in chapter 11
31] Andđ arms shall stand on his part, and they shall pollute the sanctuary of strength, and shall take away the daily (sacrifice), and they shall place the abomination that maketh desolate.
These âarmsâ are the arms of the kings who ruled over the territory of the defeated/fallen Roman Empire of the West and who came to the aid of the papacy. The first to come to the aid of the papacy was the king of France Clovis around the beginning of the sixth century.
But the papacy received a mortal wound in 1798 as announced in Revelation 13
V.3. And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death;
And also his healing
đ
and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.
And this is WHAT WE ARE CURRENTLY WITTING, but coming gradually.
HIS TOTAL HEALING WILL BE WHEN THE KINGS OF THE EARTH (THE 10 HORNS) SUBJECT TO THE INJUNCTIONS OF THE SECOND BEAST OF REVELATION 13:11-18)
will give đtheir power and strength unto the beast.đ
Rev.17:12And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; BUT receive power as kings one hour with the beast.
[13] These have one mind, and shall giveđ their power and strength unto the beast.đ14] These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.

December 23, 2024 at 3:58 am#947147BereanParticipantYou :Nothing you have ever said about the Vatican has ever convinced me that it is the Beast.
The Beasts are the Empires around the Mediterranean Sea.
The Woman that rides the Beast on the other hand are the false religions of Babylon that have evolved into the false religions of the present era. The Vatican and Pope qualify here IMO.

Hi Proclamer
Voici ce qu’il est dit du jugement de la femme qui s’est prostituĂ© avec les rois de la terre durant 1260 ans. ( 538-1798)see Rev.13]
Rev.17
[1] And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee đthe judgment of đthe great whore that sitteth upon many waters:
[2] With whom đthe kings of the earth have committed fornication,đ and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.Â….
6] And I sawđ the woman drunken with đthe blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus:đ and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.
Comment cette whore a t elle pu devenir “drunken with đthe blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus:đ c’est la la question.
Car une Ă©glise normalement n’a pas d’armĂ©e pour faire la guerre, ni de police pour poursuivre les dĂ©linquants.
La seule façon pour l’Ă©glise catholique romaine ( RCC) dans le passĂ© pour se permettre de persĂ©cuter les saints de JĂ©sus est qu’elle a utilisĂ© le pouvoir sĂ©culier des rois et des princes de la terre aprĂšs les avoir converti Ă sa cause.( Les 10 CORNES crowned in Rev.13:1)
Dans le livre de Daniel il est dit au chapitre 11
31] Andđ arms shall stand on his part, and they shall pollute the sanctuary of strength, and shall take away the daily (sacrifice), and they shall place the abomination that maketh desolate.
Ces “arms” sont les arms des rois qui ont dominĂ©s sur le territoire de l’Empire Romain dĂ©fait/tombĂ© d’occident et qui sont venus en aide a la papautĂ©. Le premier a venir en aide Ă la papautĂ© est le roi de France Clovis vers le dĂ©but du sixiĂšme siĂšcle.
Mais la papauté a reçu une blessure mortelle en 1798 comme annoncé en Révélation 13
V.3. And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death;
Et aussi sa guérison
đ
and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.
Et c’est CE A QUOI NOUS ASSISTONS ACTUELLEMENT , mais venu progressivement.
SA GUĂRISON TOTALE SERA QUAND LES ROIS DE LA TERRE ( LES 10 CORNES) SOUMIS AUX INJONCTIONS DE LA LA DEUXIĂME BĂTE D’APOCALYPSE 13:11-18 )
donneront đtheir power and strength unto the beast.đ
Rev.17 :12And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; BUT receive power as kings one hour with the beast.
[13] These have one mind, and shall giveđ their power and strength unto the beast.đ14] These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.

December 21, 2024 at 8:55 am#947108BereanParticipantPope Francis Invites Joe Biden to the Vatican Before He Leaves the White House
On December 19, 2024, Pope Francis and outgoing US President Joe Biden held a telephone conversation yesterday in which they discussed social global issues, with particular attention to efforts to promote peace in the world. The call comes just weeks before Bidenâs term ends, which will give way once again to Donald Trump, who swept the presidential elections held in November.
According to the White House, the US president expressed his gratitude to the Pope, which reflects Bidenâs admiration for Pope Francis. The White House released the following statement:
âą âToday, President Joseph R. Biden, Jr. spoke with His Holiness Pope Francis to discuss efforts to advance peace around the world during the holiday season. The President thanked the Pope for his continued advocacy to alleviate global suffering, including his work to advance human rights and protect religious freedoms. President Biden also graciously accepted His Holiness Pope Francisâs invitation to visit the Vatican next month.â [1]
This meeting will mark the symbolic end of the current US presidential term and underlines the importance of the relationship between the United States and the Holy See. This type of collaboration between the two beasts of Revelation 13 will continue to grow and will ultimately be seen as a necessary alliance for bringing permanent religious, social, and political change. Rome is taking a more active role in facilitating global policy, and politicians and governments are coming together to implement these so-called reforms. This trend towards political and religious unity is the foundation for the final crisis.Let us beware of such a union. Prophecy declares that such a framework will be used to implement the mark of the beast through the establishment of Sunday observance by law:
âAnd all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.â Revelation 13:8.
âAnd he exerciseth 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.â Revelation 13:12.
The above verses describe a religious requirement imposed by the state. The seed of this development will come as a result of the close cooperation between Rome and the United States. And although the whole world may be in favor of this cooperation, God is against it. The beast power of Revelation 13 will eventually pronounce a death penalty on those who refuse to worship the beast and receive his mark, but God will pronounce the penalty of everlasting death upon those who do (Revelation 14:9).The stage for this final conflict is unfolding before our eyes. Governments must be very careful not to participate in any attempt to impose religious propaganda on their people by law. That is not part of the stateâs business, and religion is always in a much healthier spiritual condition when its doctrines are confined to its own legitimate sphere and away from politics. Establishing a religious test in these last days is something that God never authorized or commanded, and it will only bring persecution to minorities.
