Can we just throw PROPHECY, either into the deep past, or deep into the future, just as we feel like it? Because it makes us more comfortable, in the false hope of not being eyewitnesses to the tribulations, even though none shall even touch, as per His will,any one with Christ within them?
NO!
No, we can't, and still think of selves as Christians, when we ignore His words:
The word Prophecy is used but 6 times in the O.T but 15 times in the N.T.....
Daniel 9:24 "Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy"
This time frame ended at the stoning of Stephen, and Israel as a nation was no longer to be saved, as the whole, but individuals, as all others can still come to Christ.and be saved if they repent and accept Him and His will! {Sorry this will ruffle many a feather, but truth shall set us free, from sin}
2 Peter 1:21 " For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost."
Revelation 22:18-20 "For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book. He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus."
Note: (J.B.) Yes people have put this off for years...but God knew this would become fact look....
2 Peter 3:4 "And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation." To W. Vieth.......
WHAT THE REFORMERS PUT TO PAPER:
Nicolas von Amsdorf (1483- 1565):
Martin Luther said: "My spirit finds rest in my dear Amsdorf"." {They were soul mates] Herzog, real- Encyklopedie, art: "Nicholas von Amsdorf".
"He [the Antichrist] will be revealed and come to naught before the last day, so that every man shall comprehend and recognize that the pope is the real, true antichrist and not the vicar of Christ.... Therefore those who consider the pope and bishops as Christian shepherds and bishops are deeply in error, but even more are those who believe that the Turk" [The Ottoman Empire, whom God used,were at the gates of Vienna, Austria, when the Frankish King marches with 50,000 man army to take M. Luther, thus he had to march to defend against the Turks, but nobody is taught that anymore , right?]
" That the Turk is the Antichrist. Because the Turk rules outside the church and does not sit in a holy place, nor does he seek to bear the name of Christ but is an open antagonist of Christ and His Church. This does not need to be revealed, but it is clear and evident because he persecutes Christians openly and not as the pope does, secretly under the form of godliness." "Nicolaus von Amsdorf, Furnemliche und gewisse Zeichen," sig. A2r., V. [Sorry can't translate German]
Today, there are voices who cry, out in alarm, this Islam, is the Antichrist, have Y O U heard this? Yet the reformers have already debunked that way back in Nicolas' time! History not taught , we shall repeat the same errors!
In 1570 Flacius also wrote a tractate on the antichrist--- the prophecies forming the basis of separation:
"The sixth and last reason for our separation from the pope and his followers be this: By many writings of our church, by the Divinely inspired Word, by the prophecies concerning the future and by the special characteristics of the papacy, it has been profusely and thoroughly proved that the pope with his prelates and clergy is the real true great antichrist, that his kingdom is the real Babylon, a never ceasing fountain and a mother of all abominable idolatry." "Flacius, Etiiche Hochwichtige Urachen und Grunde."
GEORG NIGRINUS (1530- 1602) Evangelical theologian and satirist, born in Battenburg, Hesse, Germany.
"The Jesuits,....... { begun in 1540 by Ignatius Loyola, and under pope Innocent 3rd , to destroy all non Latin Bibles and to stop the Reformation movement. the leader 's title if Father General, and is commonly known as the Black pope, for the pope is always shown in white, whom gives his his "marching orders! But this "general" gives orders to all the other many secret Societies. J.B.]
....." claim to be to be sorely offended and have taken my declarations as an insult and blasphemy in branding the papacy as the Antichrist of which Daniel, Paul, and Peter and John, and even Christ prophesied. But this is as true as it is that Jesus is the Messiah, and I am prepared to show it even by their own definition of the word "Antichrist." Translated from "Nirinus, Antichrists Grundliche Offenbarung," Fol. 6v..
Ibid: "This Jesuit further contends that the papacy cannot be Antichrist because the papacy has lasted for centuries, but that he Antichrist is supposed to reign only 3.5 years....But no one doubts to day that Daniel spoke of year-days, not literal days. The prophetic time-periods of forty-two months, or 1260 days, time (1) times (2) and 1/2 time are prophetic and according to both Numbers 14:34 and Ezekiel 4:4-6, one day must be taken for one year, the Hebrew 360 day year. "...........
(Antiochus 3rd., is a type of antichrist [PRETERIST] who came out of the Third Beast Greece, killed and roasted a pig in the Temple of Jerusalem after Alexander the Great died]
........ And as many days as he raged and raved against the Jews, so many years shall the spiritual
Antiochus or Antichrist rage in the midst of the Christian church." Ibid fols. 28v. 29r.
Question: Who teaches this today? The 96% tile of Christendom, that's who, and right from the Pulpits! Yet there is NOT one word of this tale that finds a fit in any. . . any Bible in print. . . today! However the World Council of Churches is now totally under the Jesuit control via the Free-Masons! Why think YE the why for this....?
Revelation 18:4 "And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues."
[Come out of what or whom? 18:2 Babylon means to babel, confusion due to deceptions!]
By the way, does the papacy fulfill this prophecy of 1260 days/years, of Daniel 7:25, and Rev. 11:2; 12:14; 13:5.? YES! It became a Beast, with its horn [of and for its fulfilled Political Power] in 538 up to 1798, when Napoleon arrested the pope, and gave its lands to Italy, all but its present 114 Acres.Precisely 1260 years! But since 1929's Treaty with Mussolini, they were once more given nationhood status, with most of earth's nations have a working embassy within it borders, and the Holy see has it seat at the United Nations!] THINK!
This was under the order and protection of the last Caesar, Bellisarious, who gave him all the trappings and symbols of office and the ALL the popes, ever since have held the title PONTIFIX MAXIMUS, and under all the carved statues of the Caesars and the popes you will find the letter P.M! They have and still do today rule as did the Caesars, total authority, unquestioned!
What other did this treaty do for the Vatican? Revelation 13:3 "And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast."
[This wound is IN THE PROCESS, of healing, it will not be fully healed until she again has political power, under the New?One World Order, when all nations will "speak" via their laws,forcing all to obey Rome's Sunday Law, worship......Revelation 13:15 "And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed."
Please read Genesis 2:1-3 and then Exodus 20: 8-11 and keep this verse in mind-----
Revelation 14:12 "Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus." Please know that 96% of "Christians" worship on Sunday paying homage to popish law but ignoring God's Law! WHO I S ABLE TO SAVE GOD, OR THE pope?
Y O U must chose!
David Chytraeus (1530- 1600) last of the "Fathers of the Lutheran church.
" The lord Himself revealed to Daniel how long the four world kingdoms should exist, and how long the little horn [horns denote political power] should last. This little horn as also described by Paul in 2nd Thess., 2, where we are told that this anti christian power, the papacy, would be fully revealed just before the judgement should take place.".......
{The Investigative Judgement began at the end of the 2300 days of Daniel 8:14 began in 1844, with the judgments of the dead
"We know today that the four kingdoms have long passed off the stage of action, that the two-horned beast of Revelation 13 and which refers to the same power can not last much longer {This is U.S. of A} , and so we are forced to conclude that day of judgement {for the living} is not far hence. ...This same though is given in 2nd Thess. 2:1-8 where the Roman Antichrist is again mentioned....Most of the other signs have also been fulfilled which our savior referred to in Matt. 24. Translated from David Chytraeus, "Ausiegung der Offenerung Johannis "( Explanation of the Revelation of John.)
John Calvin (1509- 1564) Calvinists--- Presbyterian.
"Some persons thin us too severe and censorious when we call the Roman pontiff Antichrist. But those who are of this opinion do not consider that they bring the same charge of presumption against Paul himself. after whom we speak and whose language we adopt.... I shall briefly show that Paul's words in 2nd Tess. 2, are not capable of any other which applies them to the Papacy. "Taken from Institutes of the Christian Religion, " by John Calvin.
John Knox (1505- 15720 (Scotch Presbyterian)
John Knox sought to counteract "That tyranny which thye pope hiself has for so many ages exercdised over the church" As with Luther, he finally concluded that the Papacy was "The very antichrist, and son of perdition, of whom Paul speaks." The Zurich Letters, by John Knox, p.199.
Please know: John Knox arrives in the very Catholic nation of Scotland, and the above is part of His first sermon, right from Daniel 7! Within his time all of Scotland became Protestant, unbelievable? Yet True!
Question: "When was the last TIME, Y O U heard any sermon on Daniel 7 "? Come out of her, my people!
Thomas Cranmer ( 1498-1556. Archbishop of the Church of England. Anglican. [Today one can't tell where this leaves off and Catholicism has taken over!]
Whereof it followeth Rome to be the seat of antichrist, and the pope to be very antichrist himself. I could prove the same by many other scriptures, old writers, and strong reasons>" (Referring to the prophecies in Revelation and Daniel) Works by Cranmer Vol. 1. pp.6-7.
[Under the penalty of being burned alive at the stake, he signed a retraction, then with sorrowful prayers he recanted, tied to a stake, and burned alive> While being burned, he stuck his right hand into the flames, and shouted burn thy cursed hand, for being weak, the sang hymnals until he passed! God MUST have cut off all the pain signals to his mind, how else under this much pain, could anyone keep on signing, in place of screaming?]
Rodger Williams. ( First Baptist Pastor in America) (1603- 1683)
Pastor Williams spoke of the pope as "the pretended Vicar of Christ on earth, who sits as God over the Temple of God, exalting himself not only above all that is called God, but over the souls and consciences of all his vassals, yea over the Spirit of Christ, over the Holy Spirit, yea, and God Himself... speaking against the God of heaven, thinking to change times and laws; but he is the son of perdition {2nd Thess. 2). In: "The Prophetic Faith of Our Fathers. by I Room. vol 3. P.52.
This is what the Baptists believed, and this was a Baptist Minister, yet what is it now, that is taught from their Pulpits today? Run back to the Mother church, Rome? LOOK....... Rome calls all churches her DAUGHTERS, AND SHE IS THEIR MOTHER!....look.....
Revelation 17:5 "And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. "
Please, please THINK!
THE BAPTIST CONFESSION states: "that the Pope of Rome is that man of sin, and son of perdition, that exalteth himself in the church against Christ, and all that is called God; whom the Lord shall destroy with the brightness of His coming. "CONFESSION OF FAITH ( 1747) "There is no other head of the church but the Lord Jesus Christ. Nor can the pope of Rome is any sense be the head thereof; but is that antichrist, that man of sin and son of perdition that exalteth himself in the church against Christ and all that called God." Quoted in "All Roads lead to Rome?" Michael de Semlyen," p. 176.the first part:" Confession of Faith" from Philip Schaff's, The Creeds of Christendom, With history and Critical notes, iii, p. 658 ,ch, 25> sec.6.
Now excuse me, please, but is this being preached from any of these pulpits? Yet are these maned persons, not the founding fathers of your churches here named?[
[What Happened? Who are Y O U to sit by idly while being lied too?]
John Wesley (1703- 1791) Methodist. Speaking of the Papacy, John Wesley wrote:
"He is in emphatical sense, the Man of Sin, as he increases all manner of sin above measure.And he is too, properly styled the Son of Perdition, as he has caused the death of numberless multitudes, both of his opposers and followers... He it is... that exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshiped.. claiming the highest power, and honor...claiming the prerogatives which belongs to God alone."Antichrist and His Ten Kingdoms, by John Wesley .p 110
Charles Spurgeon: (One of the greatest preachers ever)
It is the bounden duty of every Christian to pray against Antichrist, as to what antichrist is no sane man aught to raise a question. If it be not the popery in the church of Rome there is nothing in the world that can be called by that name. If there were to be issued a hue and cry for antichrist, we should certainly take up this church on suspicion, and it would certainly not be let loose again, for it so exactly answers the description
It has been said, that IF. . .if the Pope is not the antichrist, then he has the worst luck in the world be so exactly like him.
He goes on: Popery is contrary to Christ's Gospel, and it is the antichrist, and we ought to pray against it. It should be the daily prayer of every believer that the Antichrist might be hurled like a millstone into the flood and for Christ, because it wounds Christ, because it robs Christ of His glory, because it puts sacramental efficacy into place of His atonement, and lifts a piece of bread into the place of the Holy ghost, and puts a mere fallible man like ourselves up as the vicar of Christ on earth: If we pay against it, because it is against Him, we shall love the persons though we hate their errors: we shall love their souls though we loath and detest their dogmas, and so the breath of our prayers will be sweetened, because we turn our faces towards Christ, when we pray." Taken from "All roads Lead to Rome. p. 205 1991.
[This Professor Walter Veith, Primary speaker for A.D. TV. {www.amazingdiscoveries.org} born and raised, as a Catholic, when he learned this he because ill, and called a Priest he knew, to come to his house. Then he asked this priest to explain these scripture in Daniel and Revelations, as it hurt him to the core! The priest dismissed himself, saying "I am not into scripture"! Here is a man, a shepherd of his flock, and saying he's "Not into scripture"? That like say a fish is not into water, nor birds into flying!]
[ Walter. goes on to say, look my whole family and most of my friends, were all Catholic, and when i asked them, they all turned away from me. Do YOU have any idea how much that hurts? So I asked a Methodist friend, who was a also a pastor, a Baptist, to come and explain this Antichrist is long into the past, to me. He did and can with an elder, and when I asked about the antichrist, be began with the Preterist dogma about Antiochus, and when Walter pointed out that he came not out of Rome, the forth beast but Greece the third beast, the Pastor jumped up cupped both his hands over the ears of his Elder?? and thus walked themselves out the door, keeping his members ears covered up. This brings to my mind this passage... } (J.B.)
2 Thessalonians 2:10-12 "And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness."
In closing,Walter goes back to the video about that Townhouse and explains what the Reformers had placed above the door in Stone"
The Babylonian Winged Lion and a man, King Nebuchadnezzar one one side, on the other side of the same door, we had a Bear with three ribs in its mouth and Cyrus the Great next to it, these two being first two kingdoms of Daniel or the Head of Gold and silver arms and chest of the metal dream man. All this above door 1
Door 2: Let side: the four-headed Leopard with Alexander the Great, and on the other side we find the Great and Terrible beast with the ten horns and a horn with a human face in it, and a Roman clan warrior
All in stone, all in plain view, so that none should for get the succession of Babylon, of Medo-Persia, of Greece and finally the two Roman empires, one pagan and the other mixed Pagan-Christian..
It was this prophetic progression that made all the Reformers understand that this reflected the progression through time to show God's children, via foretelling, that when these things came to pass, we all might believe the word of God as truth. Sadly as on young German man said, "Yes I am Protestant, and yes a I have a BIBLE, BUT ONE HAS A BIBLE YES, BUT ONE DOES NOT READ IT!"
TODAY? In Wartburg Castle, where Martin Luther fled for his life, is today a UNESCO World Heritage Site, beautifully restored , by East Germany's Communist Party yet! Walter and his party went through this castle on a visitor's tour, and for over one hour all they saw and heard was a all about St. Elizabeth a Catholic saint from the 13 th century.. All the walls were painted up like the Sistine Chaplin.Holy
Elizabeth this and Holy Elizabeth that, so when one man said I came here to see Luther's study , where he sat and translated the Bible into German and I am going to see it! "Not part of the tour sir , sorry" said the tour guide!.Well after many visitors began to complain, he took them to where Marin Luther worked. his table top, and chair, and the whale vertebra he used for a foot stool! The contrast here was stark, form the humble simplicity of Luther's room, to that of all the huge rooms dedicated to St. Elizabeth, which was all glitz and glamour, with beautiful stained glass windows depicting the life and times of Elizabeth, it was all as if they wanted us to forget all about Luther and Reformation!
So I ask Y O U why, why is it that each and every site, that has a plaque, a marker, indicating some portion of a the Protestant past, have been greatly over shadowed if not totally removed and replaced with Catholic signs and images? Almost as if we are living once again under the heavy handed popes, who ordered the death of anyone who carried even one verse of Bible on his or person, was called a heretic and murdered!
I also ask you, "Is it now time, to look at the Holy Bible, as the Reformers looked at it and its prophecies? If not now. . . .WHEN? Remember all books shall close at one's passing, and what's done is done, there no changing possible.!
So the ONE Question that needs asking is: "Who do Y O U trust and have faith in, God or your fellow man"?
Then act where your trust lies!
