Lets see as how friendly a Jesuit Pope is to creation and the law of God from the Jesuits own writings in very recent times (first published in 2008): “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 burnt at the stake.” From the book- The Cambridge Companion to ‘The Jesuits’ Edited by Thomas Worcester (Thomas Worcester is a Jesuit priest) pages 23,24 This means little to a person who does not understand the history of the middle ages and modern history or the history of the reformers and the Bible. Most do not and therefore have not been properly educated. What does such a statement tell us about their attitude to the Jews themselves (perhaps we could consider Rome’s involvement in WWII ) and for liberty of conscience which Pope Francis shall address while in the USA?
The little horn is a so called referring to the Vatican in the Bible because it is the smallest country in the world therefore he must make associated alliances for his power. Today first up it is the USA and secondly a united Europe under Germany which has been turned away from Luther’s influence by the Jesuits. For this very work a Jesuit priest was given a sainthood. The Vatican has the largest number of Jesuits in the world positioned in that country for the most obvious of reasons.
Therefore the headline reads: Pope Francis is certain to challenge lawmakers when he visits U.S. Congress in September 2015
What will he challenge them on ? Environment, family are the main issues. First turmoil is created in the west through every means and then the Pope comes as the Saviour with current issues and liberation theology. They are hungry for power again and they know they can have it because the Bible says ‘all the world wondered after the beast.’
He has issued a “World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation will be celebrated on 1 September to give people opportunity to reflection upon ‘the adoption of appropriate lifestyles’
“Care for creation and each other, says Pope Francis in radio interview”
“The United Church of Canada, the country’s largest Protestant denomination, has voted to sell its fossil fuel assets and commit financially to funding an economy based on renewable energy.Given the lack of political and industrial leadership to address climate concerns in a way that matches the scale of the problem, we wanted to signal that we are so serious about averting climate crisis that we are willing to put our money where our mouth is,” said Christine Boyle, general council commissioner and a longtime climate advocate.”
Protestants gladly join the call to save the environment including this prediction from the 1800s concerning the events now to unfold: By the decree enforcing the institution of the papacy in violation of the law of God, our nation [the United States] will disconnect herself fully from righteousness. When Protestantism shall stretch her hand across the gulf to grasp the hand of the Roman power, when she shall reach over the abyss to clasp hands with spiritualism, when, under the influence of this threefold union, our country shall repudiate every principle of its Constitution as a Protestant and republican government, and shall make provision for the propagation of papal falsehoods and delusions, then we may know that the time has come for the marvelous working of Satan and that the end is near. {Mar 190.2}
God’s Word has given warning of the impending danger; let this be unheeded, and the Protestant world will learn what the purposes of Rome really are, only when it is too late to escape the snare. She is silently growing into power. Her doctrines are exerting their influence in legislative halls, in the churches, and in the hearts of men. She is piling up her lofty and massive structures, in the secret recesses of which her former persecutions will be repeated. Stealthily and unsuspectedly she is strengthening her forces to further her own ends when the time shall come for her to strike. All that she desires is vantage-ground, and this is already being given her. We shall soon see and shall feel what the purpose of the Roman element is. Whoever shall believe and obey the Word of God will thereby incur reproach and persecution. {GC88 581.1}
The commandment to remember concerning creation is this: Exodus 20:8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
20:9 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:
20:10 But the seventh day [is] the sabbath of the LORD thy God: [in it] thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that [is] within thy gates:
20:11 For [in] six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them [is], and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
Revelation’s call to worship God and reject the Antichrist or the beast and his mark also includes the message given by the fourth commandment in Exodus just quoted above: 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:
14:11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.
14:12 Here is the patience of the saints: here [are] they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
How is God manifest and to whom is the Holy Spirit given: Just read John 14 and the words of Jesus: John 4:15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.
14:16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;
14:17 [Even] the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.
14:21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.
14:22 Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world?
14:23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.
14:24 He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father’s which sent me.
Headline: ‘Pope Francis is certain to challenge lawmakers when he visits U.S. Congress in September.’ To what will he challenge? Well the Vatican as I said has little physical power of it’s own because it is the little horn but its power is in the minds and hearts of men to do it’s will. People are influenced by its education of the young, grandeur and wealth and it has gained its authority by thinking to change the times and laws of God to meld in with pagan festival days. Easter, festival holy days and Sunday worship as its Sabbath…it’s Christian persona or outer garments.
From the very beginning of the great controversy in Heaven, it has been Satan’s purpose to overthrow the law of God, therefore the Pope is not God’s representative on earth and God is serious about how we should worship Him for many are called but few are chosen because of the decision men make. Revelation 22:14 Blessed [are] they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. We better know what that’s about if we really want to save ourselves and the planet and play with Christianity.
Indeed the Papacy will win to itself everything this world has to offer as predicted but nothing of that which God Himself offers us.
