The image 1 & 2 of Daniel 2 is the key to understanding history, the present & the future. Daniel 2 describes this image and predicts 4 kingdoms would rule the world ending with the division of Rome. Daniel 7 indicates the continuation of Romanism as it changes from pagan to ‘Christian.’ Daniel 12:10 None of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand. Why are many so willingly ignorant on future events and the words and gift of life? John 3:20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
Image 3 Symbols are used by the Bible to represent visions of the past, present & the future
Image 4,5 The winged lion as seen on this building in Rome represents Babylon which would be incorporated into Rome and into the religio-political power of the Roman church. Rome would imbue unto itself all the kingdoms that went before it.
Image 6-11 Daniel 7 speaks of the little horn, the horn represents kingdoms, nations, powers & this predicted power is little or smallest kingdom in the world of 1000 people. This power has is own army, city walls, stamps, flag, language- Latin etc the little horn which speaks great words…. Another description of the little power predicted by these very words little horn is the city build on seven hills. Revelation 17:9 the woman or in other words meaning church which sits on seven hills. The Papacy was returned to power after being vanquished by Napoleon in 1798 according to prophetic time and was reestablished by Mussolini in 1929 with the prediction of Revelation 13:5 becoming a reality-> ‘the deadly wound was healed & all the world wondered after the beast.’ Beasts are also used as symbols by nations for identity and used by the Bible to identify nations. Vatican state was instituted by law, first by Justinian the emperor and then again by Mussolini and ruled exactly for 1260 days (or years) according to laws of emperors (that is Justinian & Napoleon and the deadly wound was healed under the authorization of Mussolini & the king of Italy) and the Biblical predictions.
‘It has been Satan’s determined purpose to eclipse the view of Jesus and lead men to look to man, and trust to man, and be educated to expect help from man.’
Church in Florence main alter. The only standard of righteousness written personally by God Himself is the Ten Commandments by which God and His Son have promised to manifest themselves to those who will keep them and the promise of eternal life is given. 99% of Protestantism and Catholicism reject these commandments, the keeping of Sunday being the most obvious. What then are they following and for what purpose and did not Cain also worship God? ‘The only question asked in the judgment will be, Are they obedient to My commandments?’
The catch word bandied around is a ‘conspiracy’ as if to say is this untrue, and carries with it an unpopular tone.
Isaiah 8: 11 This is what the Lord says to me with his strong hand upon me, warning me not to follow the way of this people: 12 “Do not call conspiracy everything this people calls a conspiracy; do not fear what they fear, and do not dread it. 13 The Lord Almighty is the one you are to regard as holy, he is the one you are to fear, he is the one you are to dread.
8:19 And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto wizards that peep, and that mutter: should not a people seek unto their God? for the living to the dead? 8:20 To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, [it is] because [there is] no light in them.
These persecutions, beginning under Nero about the time of the martyrdom of Paul, continued with greater or less fury for centuries. Christians were falsely accused of the most dreadful crimes, and declared to be the cause of great calamities—famine, pestilence, and earthquake. As they became the objects of popular hatred and suspicion, informers stood ready, for the sake of gain, to betray the innocent. They were condemned as rebels against the empire, as foes of religion, and pests to society. Great numbers were thrown to wild beasts or burned alive in the amphitheaters. Some were crucified; others were covered with the skins of wild animals, and thrust into the arena to be torn by dogs. Their punishment was often made the chief entertainment at public fetes. Vast multitudes assembled to enjoy the sight, and greeted their dying agonies with laughter and applause. {GC88 40.1} Though the Papacy is known for its continued persecution of Christianity, it boasts that it is of the line of Christian martyrs from apostolic time which is an incredible fabrication that only a strong & rich power might set about to proclaim when it is the perpetrator of the crimes. Are the lives of those lost so insignificant by the passage of time that such history of blood should remain unmentioned?
The Bible declares the Papacy to process the marble, gold and jewels and precious things. Note how the coliseum is stripped of its marble.
Not only is Romanism an old religion tracing its way by symbols & practice back to Babylon, it is the global architect for globalization today, working with the most powerful nations of the day and today it is the USA to wield its influence in ‘Holy Wars’ that in modern times fought communism. & together are predicted to be an end time persecuting power. The Roman church is gathering its power in the minds of men until it shall for one hour ride the beast once more before she is devoured.
Image 1 is a Easter candle from Basilica of Saint Paul depicting images of Babylon at the base, Easter was a very important institution for the Vatican with which it came into dispute for over 300 years, as the Vatican moved Easter from a movable date to the tradition of Easter Sunday.
Image 2 the mitre (hat) comes directly from dagon. ‘DAGON the Fish God” called leviathan in scripture was worshiped by those in ancient Babylon and associated with Nimrod the first High Priest of Dagon.’
The are many many fine Christian Catholics & Protestants alike who are following mystic teaching, Protestantism is more subtly deluded in this respect. Many will be saved but God is not working with light & darkness, and has given us truth, prophetic truth for a reason, calling all His Children into His glorious truth both physically & spiritually.
Images 3 The tomb in St Peters Basilica of Pope Gregory XIII. Image 4 ‘The dragon gave him is seat, power & authority’. Note the imagery that relates to the texts from Revelation 12 & 13-‘the dragon was wroth with the woman’. At first & for this reason that the calender change was on Papal authority, some Protestant nations refused to adopt the new calender that had remained since Augustan times. The book of Daniel 7:25 says He (Antichrist the one standing before the people in the place of God) shall think to change times & laws-the Gregorian Calender is one of many changes made to times & laws. Not just one law meaning the Law God stipulates Sabbath Saturday to worship, changing the day of worship to Sunday to suit her authority & festivals that come from sun worship and pleasure days but also the calender, Easter Sunday, international law, doctorates for ‘higher learning’ etc. By this the Bible has pinpointed the power that is opposed to truth & God’s law.
Image 5 The dragon is displayed on the papal crest such inclusions are carefully considered. The word Vatican meaning vati divining can serpent. The dragon is Satan’s symbol displayed all over the world with the defeat of the human race resulting in death. Note with the dragon & the papal keys denoting its power over man; the keys to heaven and hell. The false teachings of purgatory man’s ascension to heaven at death is the teachings of the dragon who said to “Eve you shall not surly die.” God said you shall surly die” and elsewhere said “you shall know that I am your God when I shall put bone and sinew back together again at the last day on earth when the resurrection of the dead from their graves will occur see 2 Thessalonians 4:16 ++
Image 6 The priests often denoted with the serpent staff in the middle ages
Image 7 Mary worship is found everywhere in Rome, significant of its association to the occult. ‘Mary the queen of heaven’ is spoken of in God’s word and His anger against false worship. Jeremiah 7:18 The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead [their] dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto other gods, that they may provoke me to anger.
7:19 Do they provoke me to anger? saith the LORD: [do they] not [provoke] themselves to the confusion of their own faces?
7:20 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, mine anger and my fury shall be poured out upon this place, upon man, and upon beast, and upon the trees of the field, and upon the fruit of the ground; and it shall burn, and shall not be quenched.
VATICAN MUSEUM & ST PETER’S BASILICA
Images 1-3 Pontifex Maximus is stamped everywhere even on the roof, (and here we see souvenirs for sale on the roof), taking that which the Caesars had taken to themselves- I shall be like the most high. The Pontifex Maximus (Latin, literally: “greatest pontiff“) was the high priest of the College of Pontiffs (Collegium Pontificum) in ancient Rome. This was the most important position in the ancient Roman religion, Julius Caesar became pontifex in 73 BC and pontifex maximus in 63 BC. He was to be worshiped as a God. The sale of indulgences

Image 2 The pope meeting Attila the Hun pictured here and the Papacy’s conquest against the Arians gave it its power and it enforced the Trinity

The three beasts from the bottomless pit are identified by the Bible by time periods and by acts of legislation. The 1260 years prophetic time is described 7 times denoting its significance- and that being the power of the Antichrist shall dominate in its war against the saints till the end of time. The law of Justinian the emperor gave it its power against heretics from which it superseded emperors until law 8 by Napoleon took the Pope’s position, his estate and wealth away. In 1929 another act of legislation restored its power as prophesied the ‘deadly wound was healed’. The most simple identification of the ‘little horn’ or little power that shall speak great words against the Most High is the fact that it is the smallest state in the world claiming preposterous things and gaining adoration. The slides are taken from Pictures @13- the little horn found on this website. Daniel 7:25 is clear as to what the little horn or little power will do. The attack is on the law and times that God has ordained for the good of mankind, instituting her own.
Image 5 JohnnTetzel the German Dominican friar, enemy of Luther, whom Pope Leo X made commissioner of indulgences for all of Germany, Indulgences were use to build St Peter’s basilica by the ignorance of the people who gave money for the release of loved ones from purgatory. Luther was to give the Bible in the language of the German people to release them from this superstitious nonsense and giv them the truth of God’s Word.
Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore in Rome. In Rome icon worship is more fully displayed than in Protestant countries. “Mary “is endowed with the high office and dignity of the Mother of the … an integral part in the economy of communicating the Trinity to mankind.” How can Mary who is Jesus earthly connection to us be alive but is dead awaiting the resurrection. How does she make a Trinity but rather a foursome. The trinity origins on examination is a Catholic concept which without careful consideration appears acceptable. Remember though what Christ said John 20:17 I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and [to] my God, and your God. The Old Testament said was there one God. Abraham and Isaac gave the perfect representation of the Sacrifice of Jesus as the literal Son of God and all thing would not exist except it was given Him of the Father. The divinity of God is given in matters of salvation, to understand the nature of God and the nature of man and the nature of the born again man. On one hand Catholicism leads to legalism & Protestantism to cheap grace throwing all on the merits of Christ and not a change in heart to obey all of the law by which God is made manifest. Christ’s life is a revelation of what fallen human beings may become through union and fellowship with the divine nature. . . .
The confessional is very active in Rome & an abomination to God. 1 Timothy 2:5 For [there is] one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus. The confessional was used to gather information from the rich and poor, high and lowly all over the world, a very effective tool. Matthew 6:6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.
Note the dragon and the all seeing eye which latter after the Jesuits were dissolved become the symbol for their new organisation and represented the all seeing eye of the light bearer Lucifer. Nothing is placed without intention and holds depth of meaning the novice would not dream of. The IH (Horus)S & all seeing eye of Horus were present before the Jesuits incorporated them into their organisations.
The basilica’s 16th-century coffered ceiling, to a design by Giuliano da Sangallo, is said to be gilded with Inca gold presented by Ferdinand and Isabella to the Spanish pope.
Beneath this altar is the Oratory or Chapel of the Nativity, on whose altar, at that time situated in the Crypt of the Nativity below the main altar of the church itself, Saint Ignatius of Loyola celebrated his first Mass as a priest on 25 December 1538.
Just outside the Sistine Chapel is the tomb of Gianlorenzo Bernini and his family.
Revelation 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: 17:5 And upon her forehead [was] a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
Image 1 Constantine the Great Image 2 The Battle of the Milvian Bridge took place between the Roman Emperors Constantine I and Image 3 Maxentius on 28 October 312. Image 1,2 depict the battle and the victory and of course the defeat of Maxentius who had the advantage of strength in arms but by ‘divine’ intervention, Constantine had a victory that would eventually result in a united Rome. According to these sources, Constantine looked up to the sun before the battle and saw a cross of light above it, and with it the Greek words “Ἐν Τούτῳ Νίκα” (~in this sign you shall conquer!), often rendered in the Latin “in hoc signo vinces“). Constantine commanded his troops to adorn their shields with a Christian symbol (the Chi-Rho), and thereafter they were victorious. Constantine would also defeat & kill his brother in law who had joined him in his march to conqueror Rome, despite the pleading of Constantine’s sister. The thirst for power was so great that family allegiances would fail. Constantine would allow the execution of his first born son who was falsely accused by his wife who would later follow in execution. Crispus Constantine’s first born was valuable commander in his military battles. Image 4 The symbols of pagan sun worship would flood the church under a compromised Christianity which in its darkness form would observe and preserve pagan rituals. Constantine’s leadership was to unite Christianity on pagan sun worship melding the two together by observing still widely accepted today- Sun Day. Image 5 the arch of Constantine is a victory arch to celebrate Milvian yet on close examination there are no symbols indicating the victory he owed to the cross.
Papal Basilica of St Paul Outside the Walls
The basilica was founded by the Roman Emperor Constantine I over the burial place of Saint Paul, where it was said that, after the Apostle’s execution, his followers erected a memorial, called a cella memoriae. This first edifice was expanded under Valentinian I in the 370s. It displays the full succession of Popes. In the old basilica each pope had his portrait in a frieze extending above the columns separating the four aisles and naves. A 19th-century version can be seen now. The nave’s interior walls were also redecorated with scenes from Saint Paul’s life in two mosaics.
Royal edicts, general councils, and church ordinances sustained by secular power were the steps by which the pagan festival attained its position of honor in the Christian world. The first public measure enforcing Sunday observance was the law enacted by Constantine. (A.D. 321) This edict required townspeople to rest on “the venerable day of the sun,” but permitted countrymen to continue their agricultural pursuits. Though virtually a heathen statute, it was enforced by the emperor after his nominal acceptance of Christianity. {DD 25.2} The royal mandate not proving a sufficient substitute for divine authority, Eusebius, a bishop who sought the favor of princes, and who was the special friend and flatterer of Constantine, advanced the claim that Christ had transferred the Sabbath to Sunday. Not a single testimony of the Scriptures was produced in proof of the new doctrine. Eusebius himself unwittingly acknowledges its falsity and points to the real authors of the change. “All things,” he says, “whatever that it was duty to do on the Sabbath, these we have transferred to the Lord’s Day.”—Robert Cox, Sabbath Laws and Sabbath Duties, page 538. But the Sunday argument, groundless as it was, served to embolden men in trampling upon the Sabbath of the Lord. All who desired to be honored by the world accepted the popular festival. {DD 25.3}
Pope Benedict XVI explained that the markings of the great solar wheel are where the sun enters into the signs of the Zodiac. We are reminded of what the guide says”nothing is done by accident but all is carefully thought out.”
Image 1:
“The red granite obelisk of the Vatican is itself 83 feet high (132 feet high with its foundation) and weighs 320 tons. In 1586, in order to center it in front of the Church in St. Peters square, it was moved to its present location by order of Pope Sixtus V. Of course moving this heavy obelisk was a very difficult task. Many movers refused to attempt the feat, especially since the Pope had attached the death penalty if the obelisk was dropped and broken. Finally a man by the name of Domenico Fontana accepted the responsibility. With 45 winches, 160 horses and a crew of 800 workmen, the task of moving began. The date was September 10, 1586. Multitudes crowded the extensive square. While the obelisk was being moved, the crowd, upon penalty of death, was required to remain silent. But after the obelisk was successfully erected, there was the sound of hundreds of bells ringing, the roar of cannons and the loud cheer of the multitude.”
Image 2 & 3 The Ara Pacis now preserved in Rome, or “Altar of Peace,” was dedicated in the year 9 B.C. to honor the Pax Romana, an era of relative peace established by Rome’s first emperor Augustus. The Temple of Palatine Apollo was the most lavish new temple that Augustus built, and inscriptions also show that Augustus dedicated the obelisk to Apollo. the sun would have appeared on top of the obelisk on Oct. 9, the annual festival of the Temple of Palatine Apollo, pointing toward the temple dedicated to Apollo.
Images of the pantheon. The pantheon had the images to all the gods except for one Acts 17:23 For as I walked around and looked carefully at your objects of worship, I even found an altar with this inscription: to an unknown god. Romanism could cope well with images and figures but not with one God who had no images.
Note how the temple like the basilica has its importance around the sun and falls to display the images
Image 11 The remains of Romanism is everywhere influencing the religion of today such churches placed over occult temples such as the Basilica of Saint Clement & of course pictured here the fertility Goddess Artemis of Ephesus from the Vatican museum. Romanism was directly interfering in fertility for its own means & ends.
All kinds of immoralities were associated with the [Greco-Roman] gods. Not only was prostitution a recognized institution, but through the influence of the fertility cults of Asia Minor, Syria, and Phoenicia it became a part of the religious rites at certain temples. Thus there were one thousand “sacred prostitutes” at the temple of Aphrodite at Corinth.[1]
Images 12 Among other things the veneration of the dead Mary places Romanism as an occult religion. Her crown is of precious jewels and white gold. She has decked herself in precious jewels & royal apparel as the Bible described in
Revelation 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:
5 And upon her forehead was a name written, Mystery, Babylon The Great, The Mother Of Harlots And Abominations Of The Earth.
The crown Mary has never worn is placed on pictures and relics & worshiped. Mystism (or demonic spirits) can work through this avenue in miracles to seduce people to false worship & destruction.
The festivals for fun & family were held on pagan sun worship day & adopted into the church. Sun worship of course is the oldest occult practice as seen by this symbol in St Peters basilica.
Image 13 It was the rejection by the Jews of the Son of God & the power of Rome that lead to this false form of Christianity that at it’s highest level is occult, a form of sun worship at its foundation.
Image 14 The scared heart comes from the human sacrifice of the victim as an offering to the sun god such as Petra. Of course now its given a Christian flavour Leviticus 18:21And thou shalt not let any of thy seed pass through [the fire] to Molech, neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God: I [am] the LORD.
Images 15-17 The nuns can be some of the dearest people on the planet and most sincere but everything here points to the similarities between the Roman church & Rome’s vestal virgins.
Mark 12:27 He is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living: ye therefore do greatly err. This bizarre practice of the veneration of the dead is around Italy and the world in the Roman faith. There is only one original photo of my own as photography is not allowed in chapels located beneath the church of Santa Maria della Concezione dei Cappuccini.
Peter would never imagine that He would end up looking like this. All the trappings of the occult and as an image to be worshiped with the foot kissed smooth. Occult hand and head symbols.
Chiesa del Gesu
(Church of the Gesu: the Jesuit Mother Church)
Thomas Worcester is a Jesuit priest, and a Professor of History at the College of the Holy Cross, in Massachusetts. He is a specialist in the religious and cultural history of early modern France and Italy.
“The inquisition was founded to prosecute judaizing conversos, namely individuals of Jewish ancestry who were baptized as Christians but continued to practice aspects of Mosaics law such as dietary rules and rituals associated with the Sabbath. To Christian religious authorities, conversos who followed Jewish ceremonies were heretics because they appeared to be practicing two religions simultaneously and hence betraying their baptismal vows. The Inquisition was supposed to find these judaizing heretics and, if possible, enclose them again in the Christian community after eliciting from them an expression of repentance. If the suspected heretic refuse to confess her error and sufficient eyewitness testimony against her, she would be relaxed to the secular arm, a phrase meant released to the secular authorities and burn at the stake. The Cambridge Companion to The Jesuits Edited by Thomas Worcester p23,24
Image 1 The defeat of Protestantism by the founder of the Jesuits, the militant arm of the Catholic church as illustrated outside their church in Rome, with Ignatius crushing Protestantism under His feet. He is pointing to the open Bible. The Jesuits following on the tail of the reformation whose cornerstone was the Scriptures in the language of the people, thought to counterfeit the scriptures but it failed to have very little effect until the modern times with the new Bible translations which widely vary. Tyndale was hanged for his efforts to translate the scriptures and the scriptures being a forbidden book was burnt. What relevance has that to us today? We enter a new era of globalization under the design of the Jesuits which is now having its effects on the redistribution of wealth, the once Protestant countries of the world are doing Rome’s bidding or being dismantled with the USA being the prime participant. If you think this is a wild assumption then read Malachi Martin;s book ‘Keys of this blood’, a Jesuit who was active inside the Vatican and at the sometime consider the universities to power and who is directly in power or steering the course of that power.
The counter reformation was very successful through the council of Trent, the inquisition and the diabolical work of the Jesuits using-
- Ecclesiastical or structural reconfiguration
- Religious orders
- Spiritual movements
- Political dimensions
- The outcome was to stop nothing short of world domination. Saint Peter Canisius, S.J (1521) was so honoured for turning the tide of the reform away from Luther and to where was the country eventually turned? An ustashe Germany. Now Germany is a central piece for UN today.
Image 2 The Triumph of Faith over heresy” The defeat of Huss and Luther. Mary casts these two heretics out of heaven while the attending angel rips the pages from the Bible. They would apply the inquisition to these heretics and their followers as much as any who would practice the ‘Jewish’ laws of the Old Testament.
John 16:2 They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service.
The Jesuits would use any means to accomplish their power in the church and world- ‘the end justifies the means.’ Today the new inquisitor maybe found in another form- example Guantánamo Bay. Romanism uses the civil arm of the church however at this time its influence is in the schools and courts and politics of the USA and more importantly in the theologically corrupted Protestantism which means that apostate Protestantism shall form an image of & to this Roman power. The USA being the most powerful nation on earth is predicted by the Bible to be a powerful persecuting power of God’s people and the Roman church is seen as a prostitute woman riding the beast and drunk with the blood of martyrs.
Image 3, The occult symbols are everywhere: the ray of the sun, the symbol of the Illuminati, used by the Jesuits following their dissolution by order of the Pope. For what reason was the dissolution? For interfering in the wealth and politics of countries and causing war between them. It started as a war they caused between Spain and Portugal and France soon followed the lead and they were expelled over 70 times. Today lesson learned, they are more skillful in carrying out purposes.On every hand you shall see their work.

Unsound doctrines, superstitious rites, and idolatrous ceremonies were incorporated into the faith and worship.
There are always deeper meanings that relate to the origin of the symbolism. At the highest level the true initiate must surly understand the real meanings of the symbols which were never instituted by Christ. IHS Egyptian Trinity Isis, Horus, Seb or “Jesus, Savior of men” in Latin. As mentioned the trinity was a subtle false teaching by which Romanism was instituted in 538 BC when the Papacy commenced its 1260 year prophetic reign. A pro Arian pope was set down and a trinitarian pope setup by constitutional law authorized by the emperor Justinian.
Image 5 The skull and crossbones lead literally to the place of the dead, buried beneath the basilica. Image 6 The floor lifts and you can go down to the place of the dead, which is found in all the basilicas. Of course skull and cross bones is the symbol for secret society. Everything is carefully designed in the churches, with nothing left to chance.
Image 7 Authorized by Pope Clement VII “The seated astronomer with astrolabe and compass alludes to the use of the stars to foretell the future, while the nude youth holding a die refers to the saying of the ancient Greek philosopher Heraclitus that time is a boy playing dice. This same juxtaposition of randomness with science is illustrated in the upper half of the design. The strongman who supports the celestial sphere calls to mind the ancient marble statue now known as the Farnese Atlas—then in a fragmentary state in the Del Bufalo collection in Rome—that was renowned as the only representation of the heavens to survive from antiquity. Elsewhere in the book, Atlas, with the globe on his shoulders, is identified as the prince of astrologers. But here the sphere Atlas supports is turned by an angel and a devil—the only reference to a Christian framework controlling events—and the pope seated precariously on top suggests the medieval imagery of the Wheel of Fortune, which capriciously elevates popes, kings, and criminals only to bring them crashing down at whim. The pope’s position was indeed precarious when this book was published, a few months prior to the Sack of Rome, and one of the fortunes contained within the book predicts the downfall of the city. Perhaps it is Rome that we see in the background, where a large clock alludes to the measurement of time and to the use of the hour to determine the game’s outcome. The Pantheon may have been represented because it was believed to serve an astronomical function in antiquity.”

As a youth he committed ‘heinous crimes’ and was described as ‘treacherous, brutal and vindictive’ which would later marked the work of the society he founded as they by whatever mean destroyed Protestantism and wielded by no apologies not even today the inquisition. His motto resounds across the world today in espionage and war: ‘the end justifies the means.’ In the secret history of the Jesuits it also describes him as ‘first class example of active mysticism and distortion of the will.’ In other words occult teachings with a Jesus name.
Images 15-17 Tomb of Francis Xavier and relic of his arm as centre piece. “The Lord knew the weakness of men, and their desire to venerate dead men’s bones and things of no value; therefore when Moses and Aaron, the leaders of ancient Israel, died, the Lord hid them so that the people would not be tempted to commit idolatry over them, as the Romanists do over their senseless relics. The Lord’s plan was that the living God alone should be exalted.”
Images 18-22 Mary appears with lightening bolt to crush the serpent under her feet which in the Bible in Genesis says is really Christ who by His death and resurrection crushes the serpents head but high in the ceiling the woman has taken the serpent in her right arm as she views her image in the mirror.

Images 24-25 The triumph of the name of Jesus (meaning Jesuit) considered in Rome only surpassed by the sistine chapel. “At this time, the order of the Jesuits was created, the most cruel, unscrupulous, and powerful of all the champions of popery. Cut off from every earthly tie and human interest, dead to the claims of natural affection, reason and conscience wholly silenced, they knew no rule, no tie, but that of their order, and no duty but to extend its power. The gospel of Christ had enabled its adherents to meet danger and endure suffering, undismayed by cold, hunger, toil, and poverty, to uphold the banner of truth in face of the rack, the dungeon, and the stake. To combat these forces, Jesuitism inspired its followers with a fanaticism that enabled them to endure like dangers, and to oppose to the power of truth all the weapons of deception.”
Ian Paisley quoted the reformers representing the united thought that first was spoken by Wycliffe, the one thing that all were in agreement of during the reformation was the Bible and prophecy showed the Pope to be the Antichrist. At the united nations assembly Paisley express the words of the reformers as the popular Pope John Paul address the delegates. Mark 8:38 Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels. What think you? Will Christ not recommend the name of paisley to His Father for the honest truth spoken at that courageous moment of time? There are lessons to be learned here from this man about standing for truth. He also spoke plainly and openly about the sinister work of the Jesuits as politicians and reformer of a by-gone era once recognized.
The arch of Tiberius records the down fall of Jerusalem which Christ has predicted in detail (not one stone would lay upon another the reason for this was the Romans ransacked it for its gold), following the end of the 70 week prophecy of Daniel. The candle stick of the second apartment of the Temple was taken to Rome. Genseric of the vandels takes the seven branched candelstick in the overthrow of Rome. The division of Rome was predicted by the Bible in the statue of Nebuchadnezzar and ten horn beast of Daniel 7. Three Arian powers that marched against Rome would be plucked up to make way for another power which would be the focus of prophecy-> the little horn of Daniel 7:25. God has said in the Bible there is only ONE God that is God the Father, all other persons have their expression and being in Him- Arian belief. Christ said I go to my God and your God. Christ’s being though the creator of all things that exist was only possible in the Father. The power that over took the Arians was Trinity. The first Pope to rule with the consent of the emperor Justinian was trinitarian and 99% of the Christian world have followed this Roman pagan teaching. This trinity was not perfect in expression for Catholicism because it also includes the worship of Mary- the dead mother of Christ (that makes four not three or trinity).

It took two centuries for the cathedral to be finished. Image 8 Before Giovanni di Bicci de’ Medici (c. 1360 – February 20/28, 1429) (was an Italian banker, a member of Medici family of Florence, and the founder of the Medici Bank) made his money as an international banker, usury having been considered unacceptable and unchristian, what was once a family of unre-known except a number of criminals of whom some were executed, produced banker, Popes and royalty. Concerning one of Medici’s papal sons Image 8 Pope Leo X we read :
“God has given me the papacy, now let me enjoy it” (Encyclopaedia Britannica, 13th ed., xix, pp. 926-7).
That was an indication of what was to come from the man who fully developed the sale of “indulgences” into Christianity and established the framework for yet another military strike (the 18th crusade since 1096).
Image 9 Leo X expanded on the the sale of indulgences set by his predecessor Julius II. The sale of indulgence was spent on the upgrade of St Peter’s Basilica
“For a sum of money, property or some penitential act, a pardon was conveyed, or a release from the pains of purgatory or guilt or the forgiveness of sins was granted to any person who bestowed wealth upon the Church”
The Church comment on Leo X:
“As an ecclesiastic, his deficiency in professional knowledge, his utter indifference to the restraint of his character, the reputed laxity of his principles, his proneness to dissimulation, his deeply rooted voluptuousness and his fondness for the society of musicians, jesters and buffoons rendered him contemptible, or something worse. By a course of lavish expenditure in the indulgence of his own taste for luxury and magnificence, by the part which he took in the troublous politics of the day … Leo completely drained the papal treasury.” (Annales Ecclesiastici, Caesar Baronius, Antwerp, 1592-97, folio iii)
“…was known to disbelieve Christianity itself. He advanced contrary to the faith and that in condemning the Gospel, therefore he must be a heretic; he was guilty of sodomy with his chamberlains; was addicted to pleasure, luxury, idleness, ambition, unchastity and sensuality; and spent his whole days in the company of musicians and buffoons. His Infallibility’s drunkenness was proverbial, he practiced incontinency as well as inebriation, and the effects of his crimes shattered the people’s constitution.” (Letters and Comments on Pope Leo X, ibid.)
Images 1-4 Life was pleasant in Pompeii – on the streets of this city according to the guides you get an idea that there was prostitution just like any other city. Now if you realize the religion of that city included prostitution and the graphical nature of the content of their sexuality which is equal to our own today, the lesson of Pompeii and its sudden destruction might more easily be understood.
Images 5-7 The pictures of sexual positions and threesomes and penises is common and open to this city though not included here.
Images 8-11 Temples of Apollo, Jupiter & Venus. “Common girls (vulgares puellae) and prostitutes gathered at Venus’ temple just outside the Colline gate, where they offered her myrtle, mint, and rushes concealed in rose-bunches and asked her for “beauty and popular favour”, and to be made “charming and witty”.[39]
“Jupiter/Zeus as a lover seems to have been oversexed, for he had many children with many different women. He was not interested in forming relationships.”
The Hebrew Bible uses two different words for prostitute, zonah (זנה)[15][16] and kedeshah (or qedesha) (קדשה).[17][18] The word zonah simply meant an ordinary prostitute or “loose woman”.[16] But the word kedeshah literally means “consecrated” (feminine form), from the Semitic root q-d-sh (קדש) meaning “holy” or “set apart”.[17]
Whatever the cultic significance of a kedeshah to a follower of the Canaanite religion, the Hebrew Bible makes it clear that cultic prostitution had no place in Judaism. Thus the Hebrew version of Deuteronomy 23:17-18 tells followers:
None of the daughters of Israel shall be a kedeshah, nor shall any of the sons of Israel be a kadesh.
You shall not bring the hire of a prostitute (zonah) or the wages of a dog (kelev) into the house of the Lord your God to pay a vow, for both of these are an abomination to the Lord your God.Numbers 33:51 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye are passed over Jordan into the land of Canaan; 33:52 Then ye shall drive out all the inhabitants of the land from before you, and destroy all their pictures, and destroy all their molten images, and quite pluck down all their high places:
Images 12,13 I Thessalonians 5:2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.
5:3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.
Image 1 Everything is designed to please the senses, but it is not in the truth of God’s word but to commemorate man. On every corner roof, caskets, images, pictures it’s about the pontiff maximus, the Popes who claim the first seats at the table of Christ but God’s word says it will be otherwise. Pontiff maximus comes from the high priesthood of paganism before the emperors who had God like status then extending to the Popes- this is not a succession from Peter the Apostle. image 2 The popes’ throne is High and lifted up. Pope Leo XIII says that the Pope takes the place of God, not that he is God yet they execute wars and judgments against humanity not taking the place of God but of the destroyer, upholding the abbreviated law of man in place of God’s law.
Images 1-3 Castel Sant’ Angelo: The tomb of the Roman emperor Hadrian, also called Hadrian’s mole,[1] was erected on the right bank of the Tiber, between 130 AD and 139 AD. Originally the mausoleum was a decorated cylinder, with a garden top and golden quadriga.

The popes converted the structure into a castle, beginning in the 14th century; Pope Nicholas III connected the castle to St Peter’s Basilica by a covered fortified corridor called the Passetto di Borgo. The fortress was the refuge of Pope Clement VII from the siege ofCharles V‘s Landsknechte during the Sack of Rome (1527), in which Benvenuto Cellini describes strolling the ramparts and shooting enemy soldiers.
Leo X built a chapel with a Madonna by Raffaello da Montelupo. In 1536 Montelupo also created a marble statue of Saint Michael holding his sword after the 590 plague (as described above) to surmount the Castel.[5] Later Paul III built a rich apartment, to ensure that in any future siege the Pope had an appropriate place to stay.
Images 14-21 Castel Sant’ Angelo and at the peak the bedroom of Popes. The castle would play an important role for the popes throughout the Middle Ages. The Apollo (as in the god Apollo) Room with unique frescoes adorn its ceiling, with the private rooms of Clement VII. The sumptuous bedroom was supposedly painted by Raphael which displays nymphs, breasts and unicorns. An interesting papal theme and choice with a royal throne. A picture of Christ on the cross is adjacent to the unicorn a mystical horse. The Bible’s reference to the unicorn is the horn of the rhino.
“The darkness seemed to grow more dense. Image worship became more general. Candles were burned before images, and prayers were offered to them. The most absurd and superstitious customs prevailed. The minds of men were so completely controlled by superstition that reason itself seemed to have lost her sway. While priests and bishops were themselves pleasure-loving, sensual, and corrupt, it could only be expected that the people who looked to them for guidance would be sunken in ignorance and vice. {GC88 57.2}
Another step in papal assumption was taken, when, in the eleventh century, Pope Gregory VII. proclaimed the perfection of the Romish Church. Among the propositions which he put forth, was one declaring that the church had never erred, nor would it ever err, according to the Scriptures.”
Images 22 Legend holds that the Archangel Michael appeared atop the mausoleum, sheathing his sword as a sign of the end of the plague of 590, thus lending the castle its present name.
At the Santa Maria degll Angell the monument to Galileo appears strange considering it was the church who were in conflict with his scientific findings, he taught that physical law must be in agreement with spiritual teachings.
Image 1 The fulfillment of prophecy was recognized appropriately by an enactment of law by which the little horn or the littlest state ruled for 1260 days representing years of rule or 42 months or time, times and half a time. The Papacy received its full power from the Edict of Justinian. The Papacy lost its power by Napoleon enacting law 8 & Pope Pius VI was placed in prison by General Berthier under Napoleon’s orders. A fundamental teaching of the Papacy is the trinity and the enemies of emperor were the Arian Huns, Vandals etc therefore Pope Silverius of an Arian persuasion was stood down and Vigilius given the legal right to persecute and eradicate all whom she defined as heretics.
The Jesuits the pioneers of the counter reformation using every means by doctrines, education, war, assassination etc to move toward world dominance. They would work for the poor using liberation theology to undermine countries and they had a interest in wealth owning the Bank of America and they had an interest in politics, in Australia they straddling both the party in power and the opposition pretending to be offering an alternative government but it is one for the Papacy with privatization in mind. Image 2 The election of a Jesuit white pope marks an historical point in history. One pope fades into the background as the new emerges, making such a strategic move unique.

Revelation
9 And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.
11And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.
13 These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.
The development of the beasts from the bottomless pit found in Revelation representing nations as nations use animals to represent their kingdoms but these not being natural to nature but an amalgamation is described in Daniel and on each proceeding vision more detail is given. The development of the beasts of Daniel 7 until the little power is fully developed or the smallest but loudest nation on earth comes to fulfillment is described as the King of the North in Daniel 11 after the preceding chapters have given much detail to get to this point of understanding. The king of the North or Babylon the GREAT is a relgio/ political persecuting power, with its sign of authority to change times and laws, the most outstanding being Sunday as a day of worship being its signature, in direct opposition to the signature of God as given in the 4th commandment of the 10 commandments. The King of the North assumes that right which only belongs to God.
The King of the south that which comes from Egypt and the Arab nations as described in Daniel 11, represents that which also became a relgio/ political persecuting power. Such an understanding can only be arrived at as we study the breasts from the bottomless pit found in Revelation remembering that Revelation reveals and carries in further detail that which Daniel wrote and was told to seal till the time of the end, and identifying this power also as a persecuting power and by its identifying marks and prophetic time period.
The Vatican is making a bid for resumed power as the world globalizer and the Muslim world also understands that there is a war on from the western ‘Christian nations’. America will fight the Vatican wars as will a united Europe representing the powers of western Rome and the 10 toes or ten horns.
Daniel 11 and the war between the King of the North and the King of the South may be understood in the light Daniel 11 and the division of Greece. “The division of the Alexandrian Empire which had been the portion of Lysimachus, was now added to the already wide-extended domain of Seleucus. And though the dominion of the Ptolemies — “the king of the south” — was strong, yet that of Seleucus — “the king of the north” — was strong above him,” and his dominion was a “great dominion.” 1 For though the realm of the Ptolemies — “the king of the south” — embraced Egypt and Ethiopia, Libya, Arabia, Palestine, Phenicia, Lycia, Caria, Pamphylia, Cilicia, and Cyprus, yet that of the Seleucidae — “the king of the north” — was of far wider extent, for it embraced Macedonia, Thrace, Bithynia, all Asia Minor, Syria, Mesopotamia, Babylonia, Media, Susiana, Persia, and all of central Asia to the river Indus. These two divisions — the north and the south — include all of the Alexandrian Empire except only the States of Greece proper, and between these lay the center of action, — the small remaining portion of the west playing to these two only an incidental part, until, through it, there rose from the west the mighty power that overwhelmed all.” {1898 ATJ, GEP 203.2} AT Jones
Image 1-5 Istanbul or Constantinople is a Greek city and an interesting study of the battle between the King of the North and the King of the South. In the water reservoir under the Hagia Sophia in Istanbul remains the Greek gods who influenced that which still remains and fights for territory today. This the city of Constantine the Great and Justinian who gave power to the Papacy and the city over which image worship caused conflict and was struggled over a hundred year period and was ultimately decided by a Muslim presence.

Bath England obviously known for their Romans baths
Bath Cathedral
An ancient city centre church is on the verge of collapse after the bones of 6,000 bodies buried underneath it have rotted away and left holes. For more than 300 years thousands of people have been buried just below the stone flooring of Bath Abbey in Somerset. It is estimated that up to 6,000 bodies have been ‘jammed in’ to shallow graves under the church’s grave ledger stones. Now as the floor of the 500-year-old building begins to lift and collapse, the abbey has discovered ‘huge great voids everywhere’ beneath its flooring. ‘It’s where previous burials and graves have settled down and left voids,’ said Charles Curnook, from the abbey. Editor James Rush

Water treatment used to direct the place of healing by moving and improving blood to the inflamed or damaged part of the body.
“God’s people should become intelligent in the treatment of sickness without the aid of poisonous drugs. Many should seek to obtain the education that will enable them to combat disease in its various forms by the most simple methods. Thousands have gone down to the grave because of the use of poisonous drugs, who might have been restored to health by simple methods of treatment. Water treatments, wisely and skillfully given, may be the means of saving many lives. Let diligent study be united with careful treatments. Let prayers of faith be offered by the bedside of the sick. Let the sick be encouraged to claim the promises of God for themselves.”–MS. 15, 1911. {MM 57.1}
“Water treatments are not appreciated as they should be, and to apply them skillfully requires work that many are unwilling to perform. But none should feel excused for ignorance or indifference on this subject.”
The fragrance of the pine, the cedar, the fir, eucalyptus have medicinal properties that are health promoting. These effects and the results are little realized. These large steam/ aromatherapy room are one of a kind. Each of the four steam room have different fragrances. There are benefits for lung disease with this type of treatment .
“There were all kinds of trees around the temple to beautify the place; the box, the pine, the fir, the oil, the myrtle, the pomegranate and the fig tree bowed down with the weight of its timely figs, that made the place all over glorious.”
We have a great work to do in our world. If ministers and doctors will work in God’s lines, He will work with them. But they must change, decidedly change, in spirit and character. They must remember that they are not the only ones to whom the Lord will give wisdom. If His people will not follow in His way, the Lord will employ heathen princes to do His will. . . . {1NL 62.6}
When God’s people awaken to their role in the world, fulfilling the commission of Christ, they will understand that they are called to the task of healing and will want to understand the role of natural God given treatments in healing. This is a very important fact by which the Holy Spirit will be poured out with power in the latter rain. They will understand the difference between true & false medicine, between the work of drug companies & the work of God. Having failed in the reform in their own life concerning the senses and appetite, they remain unready to receive the Holy Spirit, many dying for lack of knowledge with terminal diseases that are preventable for which God has offered his people a remedy.
Oxford the town of truth & idiocies
The death of three archbishops during the reign of ‘Bloody Mary’ –
Images 1-6 the monument erected in the honour of Latimer, Ridley and Cramner in 1840 at the time of the rise of the Oxford movement. Where there is great light the assault takes place.
We have briefly noticed the mock disputation which Ridley, Latimer, and Cranmer were compelled to hold with the Roman Catholic commission at Oxford, in September, 1554. The commission pronounced all three obstinate heretics, and sentenced them to be burned. In October of the following year, an order was issued for the execution of Ridley and Latimer. The night before his death Ridley supped with the family of the Mayor of Oxford. At table no shade of the stake darkened his face or saddened his talk. He invited the hostess to his heavenly marriage; her reply was a burst of tears, for which he chid her as if she were unwilling to be present on so joyous an occasion.
Images 7-10 The place of execution was a ditch by the north wall of the town of Oxford, over against Baliol College.6 On his way to the stake, Ridley saw Latimer following him — the old man making what haste he could. Ridley ran and, folding him in his arms, kissed him, saying, “Be of good heart, brother; for God will either assuage the fury of the flames, or else strengthen us to abide it”. They kneeled down and prayed, each by himself; afterwards they talked together a little while, “but what they said”, says Fox, “I can learn of no man”. After the sermon usual on such occasions, they both undressed for the fire.
Men who died for an open Bible, and laid the foundation of Britain and North America’s Religious Liberty, Happiness, and National Character.
All was now ready. An iron chain had been put round the martyrs, and a staple driven in to make it firm. The two were fastened to one stake. A lighted fagot was brought and laid at Ridley’s feet. Then Latimer addressed his companion in words still fresh — after four centuries — as on the day on which they were uttered: “Be of good comfort, Master Ridley, and play the man: we shall this day light such a candle, by God’s grace, in England, as I trust shall never be put out.”
The flames blazed up rapidly and fiercely. Latimer bent towards them, as if eager to embrace those ministers, terrible only in experience, which were to give him exit from a world of sorrow into the bliss eternal. Stroking his face with his hands, he speedily, and with little pain, departed. Not so Ridley. His sufferings were protracted and severe. The fagots, piled high and solidly around him, stifled the flames, and his lower extremities were burned, while the upper part of his body was untouched, and his garments on one side were hardly scorched. “I cannot burn,” he said; “let the fire come to me.” At last he was understood; the upper faggots were pulled away; the flames rose; Ridley leaned towards them; and crying, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit!” his body turned over the iron chain, the legs being already consumed, and he fell at Latimer’s feet.
Images 16-18 Cranmer would have been able to see the place of execution of Latimer and Ridley from the prison tower. Cranmer still lived, but he was a too conspicuous member of the Protestant host, and had acted a too prominent part under two monarchs, not to be marked out for the stake. His enemies had plotted to disgrace him before leading him to the stake, lest the glory of such a victim should exalt the cause for which he was about to be offered in sacrifice. The old archbishop was seduced into signing a recantation. The man who had stood erect amid the storms of Henry VIII’s time, and had oftener than once ignored the wishes and threatenings of that wayward monarch and followed the path of duty, fell by the arts of crafty seducers. He signed the submission demanded of him. The queen and Cardinal Pole were overjoyed at the fall of the archbishop. On the morning of March 21st, 1556, they led him out of prison and preceded by the mayor and alderman, and a Spanish friar on either side of him, chanting penitential psalms, they conducted him to St. Mary’s Church, there to make his recantation in public. Dr. Cole preached the usual sermon, and when it was ended, he exhorted the archbishop to clear himself of all suspicion of heresy by making a public confession. “I will do it,” said Cranmer, “and that with a good will.” On this he rose up, and addressed the vast concourse, declaring his abhorrence of the Romish doctrines, and expressing his steadfast adherence to the Protestant faith. “And now,” said he, “I come to the great thing that so much troubleth my conscience, more than anything that ever I did or said in my whole life.” He then solemnly revoked his recantation, adding, “Forasmuch as my hand offended, writing contrary to my heart, my hand shall first be punished therefor; for may I come to the fire, it shall be first burned.”
Hardly had he uttered the words when the Romanists, filled with fury, plucked him violently from the scaffold, and hurried him off to the stake. It was already set up on the spot where Ridley and Latimer had suffered five months previously. As soon as the fire approached him, he stretched out his right arm, and thrust his hand into the flames, saying, “That unworthy right hand!”. He kept it in the fire, excepting that he once wiped with it the drops from his brow, till it was consumed, repeatedly exclaiming: “That unworthy right hand!” The fierce flame now surrounded him, but he stood as unmoved as the stake to which he was bound. Raising his eyes to heaven, and breathing out the prayer of Stephen, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit!” he expired. No marble tomb contains his ashes, no cathedral tablet records his virtues, no epitaph preserves his memory; nor are such needed. As Strype has well said, “His martyrdom is his monument”.
Cramner had led the reform in England especially under the reign of Edward VI who is likened to young Josiah a good King of Israel who ruled as a child. Cramner led the young reformer until the young king’s death at an early age. The work of reform under Edward and Cramner exceeded that of the rule of Elizabeth the 1st by whom the Church of England was established after the defeat of the Spanish Amanda.

Images 19-23 The Wesley’s also hold the reform in the town of oxford. John Wesley a pioneer in spiritual and physical healing. John Wesley (1703 -1791) was a pioneer of the 1730s British evangelical movement. While best known as founder of Methodism, his intellectual interests included a lifelong engagement with the ideas and activities of the natural philosophers (scientists) of his day. He encouraged his preachers to become conversant with science, incorporated scientific topics in his sermons and other writings, and used electro therapy apparatus in his medical clinics. Science correctly understood was to serve the cause of Christ rather than be feared.

“Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.” The enemy will mingle his evil with every good work that is done if the workers are not on guard. Thus he seeks to spoil God’s purposes. In service for the body of Christ. “Give me Scotland, or I die!” John Knox
Ancient Israel battled continually both physically & spiritually with paganism, an occult system of licentious worship. It became a world dominating power through Babylon but God also intervened. The system of man’s creation is simply represented as a man as given to Nebuchadnezzar in a dream in Daniel 2 and prophetically shows us the course of that deception down to the end of time. Romanism the last universal empire has two phases, the last one most deceptive as it took to itself the Christian name. By legislation it was given the power to persecute and destroy reminding us of Jesus’s words ‘whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service.’ The symbolism used in her services and decorates her ceilings and walls is found in its origin from Paganism.
The Papacy would continue the war until the compromise was reached on her side. She appeared often the appeasers when she had aggressively sort the war. Liberty of conscious main issue at the stake. She where possible would create the spirit of war and the hatred that followed until death or compromise for peace was sort as in Ireland today.
The Bible speaks of itself as a two-edge sword Hebrews 4:12For the word of God [is] quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and [is] a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. Out of the mouth of Christ comes the twoedged sword in Revelation chapter 1.
Ephesians 6:11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

YORK- one of many fortified cities. York Minster is a cathedral in York, England, and is one of the largest of its kind in Northern Europe. The intricate work on the doors is detailed and its value probably inestimable.
Constantine’s rise to power as the one remaining emperor started here in York, acclaimed as emperor by the army at Eburacum (York) after his father’s death. Christianity and its influence as part of his global empire likely started here in Britain.
The Coverdale Bible, compiled by Myles Coverdale and published in 1535, was the first complete Modern English translation of the Bible (not just the Old Testament or New Testament), and the first complete printed translation into English.
Coverdale based his New Testament on Tyndale’s translation. For the Old Testament, Coverdale used Tyndale’s published Pentateuch and possibly his published Jonah. He apparently did not make use of any of Tyndale’s other, unpublished, Old Testament material (cf. Matthew Bible). Instead, Coverdale himself translated the remaining books of the Old Testament and theApocrypha. Not being a Hebrew or Greek scholar, he worked primarily from German Bibles—Luther’s Bible and the Swiss-German version (Zürich Bible) of Zwingli[1] and Juda—and Latin sources including the Vulgate.
The church I was impressed by was St Michael Le Belfrey at York. “The present church building was built between 1525 and 1536 and replaced a church that dated back to at least 1294. The church is famous for being the place where Guy Fawkes was christened on 16 April 1570.[1] Fawkes was christened an Anglican but later converted to Catholicism which led to the failed 1605 Gunpowder Plot.” They were active during the week day not only giving reference to their history but praying and working for the community in the sanctity of the church. The baptismal place of Guy Fawkes: “Fawkes was discovered guarding 36 barrels of gunpowder—enough to reduce the House of Lords to rubble—and arrested. Gunpowder Treason Plot or the Jesuit Treason, was a failed assassination attempt against King James I of England and VI of Scotland by a group of provincial English Catholics led by Robert Catesby.” This plot has only deepened after their excommunication as an order and their reestablishment particularly in Protestant America & England. By controlling legislation & the finances in the background the would steer the civil arm of society. The Lord’s prayer and their beliefs are set out on the rostrum- the greatest prayer ever spoken by human/ divine lips is reverenced by their personal prayers for others.
Images 1-17 Edinburgh: St Giles Cathedral with Statue dedicated to John Knox
Of Knox it is written: When brought face to face with the queen of Scotland, in whose presence the zeal of many a leader of the Protestants had abated, John Knox bore unswerving witness for the truth. He was not to be won by caresses; he quailed not before threats. The queen charged him with heresy. He had taught the people to receive a religion prohibited by the State, she declared, and had thus transgressed God’s command enjoining subjects to obey their princes. Knox answered firmly:—
“As right religion received neither its origin nor its authority from princes, but from the eternal God alone, so are not subjects bound to frame their religion according to the tastes of their princes. For oft it is that princes, of all others, are the most ignorant of God’s true religion. If all the seed of Abraham had been of the religion of Pharaoh, whose subjects they long were, I pray you, madam, what religion would there have been in the world? And if all in the days of the apostles had been of the religion of the Roman emperors, I pray you, madam, what religion would there have been now upon the earth? . . . And so, madam, you may perceive that subjects are not bound to the religion of their princes, although they are commanded to give them reverence.”
Said Mary, “You interpret the Scripture in one way, and they [the Romish teachers] interpret it in another; whom shall I believe, and who shall be judge?”
“You shall believe God, who plainly speaketh in his Word,” answered the reformer; “and farther than the Word teaches you, ye shall believe neither the one nor the other. The Word of God is plain in itself, and if in any one place there be obscurity, the Holy Ghost, who never is contrary to himself, explains the same more clearly in other places, so that there can remain no doubt but unto such as are obstinately ignorant.” Such were the truths that the fearless reformer, at the peril of his life, spoke in the ear of royalty. With the same undaunted courage he kept to his purpose, praying and fighting the battles of the Lord, until Scotland was free from popery. GC88 250/251
St Giles Cathedral: Intricately carved timber of the Thistle chapel. The Order of the Thistle is Scotland’s great order of chivalry, and membership is considered to be one of the country’s highest honours. The Order is traditionally given to Scots or people of Scots ancestry, who have given distinguished service. Appointments are entirely in the personal gift of the Sovereign. The Order of the Thistle has roots in the Middle Ages, but the present day order was largely created in 1687 by King James VII of Scotland (King James II of England). The nave of Holyrood Abbey was adapted as its chapel, but in 1688 the Abbey was ransacked by the Edinburgh mob, furious at King James’ Roman Catholic allegiance. After that, the Knights of the Thistle had no chapel of their own for over 200 years.
Interesting note to commemorate this dead man but better are these words from Revelation 14:13And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed [are] the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.

Mary Queen of Scots & the Jesuit conspiracy.
In 1586 came the Babington conspiracy. It originated with John Ballard, a JESUIT priest, who had been educated at the seminary of Rheims, and who, revering the Bull of excommunication as the product of infallibility, held that Elizabeth having been excommunicated by the Pope, to deprive her of both her life and throne was the most acceptable service he could do to God, and the surest way of earning a crown in Paradise. The affair was to commence with the assassination of Elizabeth; then the Romanists in England were to be summoned to arms; and while the flames of insurrection should be raging within the kingdom, a foreign army was to land upon the coast, besiege and sack the cities that opposed them, raise Mary Stuart of Scotland to the throne, and establish the Popish religion in England.
The penetration, wisdom, and patriotism of the statesmen who stood around Elizabeth’s throne — men who were the special and splendid gifts of Providence to that critical time — saved England and the world from that bloody catastrophe. Walsing-ham early penetrated the secret. By means of intercepted letters, and the information of spies, he possessed himself of as minute and exact a knowledge of the whole plot as the conspirators themselves had; and he stood quietly by and watched its ripening till all was ready, and then he stepped in and crushed it. The Englishmen who had plotted to extinguish the religion and liberties of their native land in the blood of civil war, and the fury of a foreign invasion, were made to expiate their crimes on the scaffold. As regards Mary, Queen of the Scots, the ending of the plot to her was not on the throne of England, but in front of the headsman’s block in the sackcloth-hung hall in Fotheringay Castle.
Henry VIII as many a Catholics point out rebelled against the Pope, a convince for his divorce and remarriages and perhaps so but this split with Rome would make England, though through the shedding of much blood. Henry’s throne went to the young king boy who only lived till his teens his son Edward and Protestant reforms were seen under his reign and the direction of Archbishop of Canterbury Cranmer, a leading Protestant figure in history. Under the reign of Mary, Edward’s sister Cranmer came to an end at the stake as did thousands of others. Elizabeth the 1st was again to establish Protestantism during her reign but at the threat of her crown and life but this would be a turning of the page for England as the Spanish Armada under the directions of the Pope and the inquisition who was on board were defeated. King James was born to the throne of Scotland and then from the Castle in Edinburgh he was to take the throne of England as handed down to him from Elizabeth the 1st. Consider his life how the factions of the puritans and bishops were organised at the outset of his reign in England for the translation of the Bible in a work by its Scholarly participates over a six year period . There is no tomb to mark the work and life of King James and fitly quoted here his life after the completion of this great work went into a spiral downward as was evidenced by King Solomon of old. ‘Bishop John Williams of Lincoln preached the sermon, observing, “King Solomon died in Peace, when he had lived about sixty years … and so you know did King James.” Note the life of God’s people, disgraceful often as member of the human family but the Bible faithfully records their lives to give us hope and show us our depravity and the grace of God in saving lost humanity. The only but greatest monument to this King, a united work and thoroughness that no other version of the Bible has ever undergone is the King James Version of the Bible that has made Protestantism and made English the universal language that it is today.

Images 1 National library of Scotland Edinburgh. Before Knox and the reformation in the archives opens before us a more excellent time when the commandment were obeyed fully untouched as yet by the scourge of Romanism. They kept the commandments of God as written by the finger of God. “Many hear the invitation of mercy, are tested and proved; but few are sealed with the seal of the living God. Few will humble themselves as a little child, that they may enter the kingdom of heaven. {5T 50.2} Many are called, the instructions are simple and plain, yet few accept and few are chosen.
Image 2 The History of the church of Scotland is a history that includes Sabbath keepers or those that worshiped God on the 7th day. This picture is of the book found on the table in Knox’s house written in the old English.
Image 3 History of Scotland from the Roman occupation Andrew Lang P 96, 97 Patrick’s student Columba was attributed with bringing the gospel in its purity without the influence of Romanism to Scotland. This included the day of worship set out in the Ten commandments and altogether different structure to church authority than is general seen today. “Pope Gregory sent more missionaries in 601, along with encouraging letters and gifts for the churches, although attempts to persuade the native Celtic bishops to submit to Augustine’s authority failed. Roman bishops were established at London and Rochester in 604, and a school was founded to train Anglo-Saxon priests and missionaries.” The true church is a persecuted church which the Bible says in Revelation 12:6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God,. The church was organised but not after the model of popery and the sign of a true church that distinguishes it from all others is a commandment keeping people who love God, for only devotion can give them such endurance under persecution. Revelation 14:12 Here is the patience of the saints: here [are] they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
Image 4 The church in Scotland James Moffat P 140 From the chapter the introduction of Romanism. Romanism was introduced by Margaret 1045-1093and her influence on the King Malcolm III with matters brought directly by her concerning Easter, the mass and the day of worship. Malcolm III was passionately devoted to Margaret his second wife because she had renounced her plan to become a nun to marry him. However, in return she took charge of religious affairs. She worked to bring the Scottish Church practice in line with that of the continental church of her childhood. Such changes in Scotland were introduced in Ireland by conquest and the sword. The only sword a Christian would carry was the Bible against which faith and endurance must overcome plunder, endless bloodshed and steel. The Popes were dirty warriors who fought to conquer the world by the spiritual falsehoods of compromise, taking all she could to herself of that which exists here and now.
It thus becomes plain that by force & not by scriptural integrity nor the mission of Augustine, was Romanism and not Christianity brought to what is known today as the United kingdom.

images 1,2 The walled city of Canterbury. The cathedral is its central masterpiece.
Inside the cathedral the remains of the Augustine and his Catholic faith are evident in the images and the robes of the Anglican faith.
Augustine of Canterbury (circa first third of the 6th century – probably 26 May 604) was a Benedictine monk who became the first Archbishop of Canterbury in the year 597. He is considered the “Apostle to the English” and a founder of the English Church.[3]‘
He was sent by Pope Gregory the Great in 596
“The Scottish church, when it first meets the eye of civilization, is not Romish, nor even prelatical. When the monk Augustine, with his forty missionaries, in the time of the Saxon Heptarchy, came over to Britain under the auspices of Gregory, the bishop of Rome, to convert the barbarian Saxons, he found the northern part of the island already well-nigh filled with Christians and Christian institutions. These Christians were the Culdees, whose chief seat was the little island of Hi or Iona, on the western coast of Scotland. An Irish presbyter, Columba, feeling himself stirred with missionary zeal, and doubtless knowing the wretched condition of the savage Scots and Picts, in the year 565, took with him twelve other missionaries, and passed over to Scotland. They fixed their settlement on the little island just named, and from that point became the missionaries of all Scotland, and even penetrated into England. 1 {1873 JNA, HSFD 400.3}
Augustine gave the reason for Sunday observance as something ordained by men or ‘the Holy Fathers. Who were these fathers? Men of the school of Alexandria who mixed tradition, Greek philosophy with the gospel of Christ- in fact dishonest men. Augustine: “It appears from the sacred Scriptures, that this day was a solemn one; it was the first day of the age, that is, of the existence of our world; in it the elements of the world were formed; on it the angels were created; on it Christ rose also from the dead; on it the Holy Spirit descended from Heaven upon the apostles, as manna had done in the wilderness. For these, and other such circumstances, the Lord’s day is distinguished; and therefore the holy doctors of the church have decreed that all the glory of the Jewish Sabbath is transferred to it. Let us, therefore, keep the Lord’s day as the ancients were commanded to do the Sabbath.” – Cox’s Sabbath Laws, p. 284. {1870 JNA, SOSL 149.5}
Little wonder then the cathedral of Canterbury has all the signs of Popery which remain to a large degree in the Anglican faith by day of worship, priest robes as displayed and acknowledgement as Augustine as their leading founder, which leads them back to Rome. So we see the current archbishop of Canterbury reverencing the Pope and praying at the tomb of the dead Saint Peter.
The greatest reformer was Archbishop of Canterbury Cranmer who led the reform with Edward following the death of Henry VIII. This laid a great foundation for the future of the nation.
Here also is the famous resting place of the Black knight resting in full Armour and the candle that burns for Thomas Becket.
War was seen in the Sabbath keeping Ireland, something that would continue to dog its history. “Augustine of Hippo, generally considered one of the first and greatest Christian theologians, was one of the first to assert that a Christian could be a soldier and serve God and country honorably. He claimed that, while individuals should not resort immediately to violence, God has given the sword to government for good reason (based upon Romans 13:4). Christians as part of government should not be ashamed to protect peace and punish wickedness.”
This ‘Just war theory’ was further developed by the patron of the Jesuits Thomas Aquinas and is part of the American Christian mentality today. This theory was built for diabolical purposes and used to destroy the church of God throughout history.
Family days and festivals are right and proper- the Lord wants us to enjoy and knit together in a close fabric with himself. Therefore He instituted the Sabbath with specifics to be a memorial of our creation, the family, our origins and therefore our destination. Anything other than His memorials leads us to Rome and from Rome to Pagan idolatry which led the nations to whoredom- this is what the Lord is against. In the near future festival days of sun worship will be enforced. God say I place a division on time and days:
Revelation 14:6 And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people,
14:7 Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.
14:8 And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.
14:9 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,
14:10 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:
“THE director of Cate Blanchett’s new film Elizabeth: The Golden Age has denied Vatican allegations it is anti-Catholic.
Franco Cardini, a Vatican-backed historian, has declared that the film which portray Queen Elizabeth I’s defeat of the Catholic King’s Spanish Armada, was a “distorted anti-papal travesty”.
But Elizabeth: The Golden Age director Shekhar Kapur rejected the charge. “It’s actually very, very deeply not anti-Catholic,” he said.
“It is anti extreme forms of religion.
“It’s anti an interpretation of the word of God, which can be singular.” “
The film is not ant-forms of religion and implies that Elizabeth thought to be as ‘Mary’ as a god to the people of England- a purely Catholic idea. It pathetically portrays the queen that shaped England’s future which gave it its golden age through the free passage of Protestantism because it fails to bring out the real issues at stake that signaled the leadership of the reformation in England and by England for the world.
Elizabeth II is not in the same league as her name’s sake whose compromising ways are several audiences and exchange of gifts with the Papal See. She being the head of the church of England she has compromised that heritage.
Elizabeth the 1st is buried here in Westminster Abbey.
“Elizabeth ascended the throne with the sincere purpose of restoring the Protestant religion; but the work was one of immense difficulty, and it was only in the exercise of most consummate caution and prudence that she could hope to conduct it to a successful issue. On all sides she was surrounded by great dangers.
The signal having been given from the Vatican, May 3rd, 1570, when Pius V issued his Bull excommunicating Queen Elizabeth, the war was forthwith commenced. The Papal corps were to invade Britain in separate and successive detachments. First came the sappers and miners — the Jesuits, who followed in the immediate wake of the Bull.
When Elizabeth was at the weakest, the sudden conversion of an ancient foe into a firm ally brought her unexpected help. So long as Scotland was Popish it was a thorn in the side of Elizabeth, but the establishment of its Reformation in 1560, under Knox,made it one in policy, as in faith, with England.
England, which had remained off the field and out of action, as it were, till then, came forward in the fresh youth, and full, unimpaired strength, which the Reform of Cranmer had given her, and under Elizabeth she arrested the advancing tide of an armed papacy, and kept her soil inviolate to be the head-quarters of Protestantism, and of all those moral, political, and literary forces which are born of it alone, and a new point of departure in ages to come, whence the Reformation might go forth to carry its triumphs round the globe.

The statement was made by a Muslim “I am more a Christian than you” because the Muslim observes the Old Testament laws of clean and unclean meat which basically states don’t eat a scavenger. However they do not observe the Sabbath of the Old Testament therefore according to the Bible God is not manifest to a people who do not keep His commandments therefore they need to be yet find completion in Him. Of the sons of Ishmael it was foretold Genesis
Genesis 16:11 And the angel of the LORD said unto her, Behold, thou [art] with child, and shalt bear a son, and shalt call his name Ishmael; because the LORD hath heard thy affliction.
16:12 And he will be a wild man; his hand [will be] against every man, and every man’s hand against him; and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren.
16:15 And Hagar bare Abram a son: and Abram called his son’s name, which Hagar bare, Ishmael.
In the year 1840, another remarkable fulfillment of prophecy excited widespread interest. Two years before, Josiah Litch, one of the leading ministers preaching the second advent, published an exposition of Revelation 9, predicting the fall of the Ottoman empire, and specifying not only the year but the very day on which this would take place. According to this exposition, which was purely a matter of calculation on the prophetic periods of Scripture, the Turkish government would surrender its independence on the eleventh day of August, 1840. The prediction was widely published, and thousands watched the course of events with eager interest. {GC88 334.4}
At the very time specified, Turkey, through her ambassadors, accepted the protection of the allied powers of Europe, and thus placed herself under the control of Christian nations. The event exactly fulfilled the prediction. When it became known, multitudes were convinced of the correctness of the principles of prophetic interpretation adopted by Miller and his associates, and a wonderful impetus was given to the Advent movement. Men of learning and position united with Miller, both in preaching and publishing his views, and from 1840 to 1844 the work rapidly extended. {GC88 334.5}
THREE POWERS UNDER THE CONTROL OF THE ANGEL OF THE PIT OF REVELATION 20 ASCENDED ONTO THE EARTH AND THEY MADE WAR ACROSS THE WORLD- A SIGN TO WHOM THEIR ALLEGIANCE IS DRAWN.

“How, then, can the gospel be called a message of peace? When Isaiah foretold the birth of the Messiah, he ascribed to him the title, “Prince of peace.” When angels announced to the shepherds that Christ was born, they sung above the plains of Bethlehem, “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.” [Luke 2:14.] There is a seeming contradiction between these prophetic declarations and the words of Christ, “I came not to send peace, but a sword.” [Matthew 10:34.] But rightly understood, the two are in perfect harmony. The gospel is a message of peace. Christianity is a system, which, received and obeyed, would spread peace, harmony, and happiness throughout the earth. The religion of Christ will unite in close brotherhood all who accept its teachings. It was the mission of Jesus to reconcile men to God, and
thus to one another. But the world at large are under the control of Satan, Christ’s bitterest foe. The gospel presents to them principles of life which are wholly at variance with their habits and desires, and they rise in rebellion against it.”
