Bombing Wounds 11 at Christmas Mass in Philippines


MANILA, Philippines (AP) — A bomb exploded during Christmas Day Mass at a chapel inside a police camp in the volatile southern Philippines, wounding a priest and 10 churchgoers.

The device was hidden in a ventilation window near the ceiling of the chapel, which is on the compound where the provincial police office is located in Jolo town on Jolo Island, Sulu provincial police said.

The island is a stronghold of al-Qaida-linked Abu Sayyaf militants, but it wasn't clear who was responsible for the bombing. Investigators recovered parts of a cell phone they believe detonated the device.

All of the wounded were civilians. One woman remained at a hospital for observation later Saturday, but police said one did not need hospital treatment and the others have been treated and sent home.

The Rev. Romeo Villanueva, 72, said a newly ordained priest, the Rev. Ricky Bacoldol, who was assisting him, was thrown off his feet by the blast impact and suffered a slight leg injury.

"I was reading the Gospel. I was not yet finished when there was a loud explosion," Villanueva told The Associated Press by telephone.

The roof over the front of the church collapsed and wooden beams and other debris flew in all directions. A portion of the ceiling shielded the organist from the blast, Villanueva said.

About 50 people were inside the church but many more were arriving at the time, he said.

President Benigno Aquino III's spokesman, Edwin Lacierda, said the bombing "violates the basic tenets of respect and peace of all who hold their faith dear." He said there could be no religious or political justification for the attack.

The Philippines is predominantly Catholic, but Christians are a minority on Jolo and nearby island provinces that are majority Muslim.

A bombing at the main Jolo cathedral last year killed two churchgoers, and the cathedral has been attacked in the past with grenades. The Abu Sayyaf, notorious for high-profile kidnappings and beheadings, has been blamed for those attacks.

The military estimates that battle setbacks, arrests and surrenders have reduced the group's strength to more than 300 from more than 1,000 guerrillas during its heyday in 2000.

The Abu Sayyaf is on a U.S. list of terrorist organizations and is suspected of having received funds and training from al-Qaida.

RELIGIOUS TERRORISM IN AMERICA



CAPITULO 12 CHAPTER 12





¿Hacia dónde se dirigen la agenda de los Jesuitas y el mundo? Where do you direct the agenda of the Jesuits and the world? Por mas de 200 años, la meta ha sido la destrucción total de la Constitución de los Estados Unidos. For over 200 years, the goal has been the total destruction of the Constitution of the United States. Esto significaría el ignorar y aniquilar las preciadas garantías de libertad que están incluidas en ese documento. This would mean to ignore and destroy the precious guarantees of freedom that are included in this document. El derecho a la libre expresión, la libertad de prensa, la libertad religiosa y el derecho de adorar a Dios de acuerdo a lo que dicte la conciencia propia, el derecho a portar armas, el derecho a ser juzgado de forma justa y el derecho a la privacidad propia serían eliminados. The right to free expression, press freedom, religious freedom and the right to worship God according to the dictates of conscience itself, the right to bear arms, the right to a fair trial and the right to Privacy own would be eliminated. Durante los últimos años, hemos visto esta guerra en contra de la Constitución y la libertad llevarse a cabo de forma intensa. In recent years, we have seen this war against the Constitution and freedom carried out intensively.



En el área religiosa, la meta de los Jesuitas ha sido el eliminar cualquier rastro del Protestantismo y de otras religiones y restaurar la dominación del Papa en el mundo entero. In the religious area, the goal of the Jesuits has been to eliminate any trace of Protestantism and other religions and restore the rule of the Pope in the world. Mas adelante, determinaremos si los Jesuitas tendrán éxito en el logro de sus siniestros propósitos. Later, we will determine if the Jesuits will succeed in achieving their sinister purposes.



La única fuente confiable a la que podemos tornarnos es a la profecía de Dios. The only reliable source that we can turn to is God's prophecy. La Biblia ha predicho un suceso detrás del otro a través de la historia y cada uno ha sucedido tal y como la Biblia lo ha dicho. The Bible has predicted an event after the other through the story and each one has happened as the Bible says. Con la misma certeza la Biblia predice los sucesos futuros y muestra los resultados de los que ocurrirá como resultado de la conspiración que tienen los Jesuitas para gobernar el mundo. With the same certainty as the Bible predicts future events and displays the results of which occur as a result of the conspiracy with the Jesuits to rule the world.



El capitulo de la Biblia que revela los resultados de la trama de los Jesuitas es Apocalipsis 13. The chapter of the Bible that reveals the results of the plot of the Jesuits is Revelation 13. Se mencionan en el mismo dos bestias; la primera sale del mar en el versículo 1 y la segunda se levanta de la tierra en el versículo 11. Mentioned in the same two animals, the first out of the sea in verse 1 and the second rises from the earth in verse 11. A continuación los versículos: The following verses:



Vi subir del mar un monstruo — Apocalipsis 13:1 Climb the sea I saw a monster - Revelation 13:1



Después vi otro monstruo que salía de la tierra — Apocalipsis 13:1 Then I saw another monster coming out of the earth - Revelation 13:1



Para poder entender estos versículos, es necesario determinar lo que significa la palabra monstruo en la profecía Bíblica y lo que representan el mar y la tierra. To understand these verses, it is necessary to determine what the word monster in Bible prophecy and what they represent the sea and land. La Biblia se interpreta a sí misma. The Bible interprets itself.



El libro de Daniel muestra que la Biblia representa un reino, o como podríamos decir hoy una nación o un país. The book of Daniel shows that the Bible represents a kingdom, or as we would say today a nation or a country.



Estos cuatro monstruos son cuatro reyes que dominaran al mundo...Por tanto dice que la cuarta bestia será el cuarto reino sobre la tierra y que será distinto [diferente] de todos los reinos.... These four monsters are four kings who dominate the world ... So says the fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom on earth and it will be different [different] from all kingdoms .... — Daniel 7:17,23 - Daniel 7:17,23



Vemos como Apocalipsis 13 discute los dos poderes que vendrán a tener prominencia en el mundo. We see Revelation 13 discusses the two powers have come to prominence in the world. Estos dos poderes tienen su comienzo en diferentes lugares del mundo, uno sale del mar y el otro se levanta de la tierra. These two powers have their beginning in different parts of the world, one out of the sea and the other rising from the earth.



Luego descubrimos lo que significa el agua en la profecía Bíblica. Then discover what water means in Bible prophecy.



El ángel me dijo también “Las aguas que viste sobre las cuales esta sentada la prostituta son pueblos, gentes, lenguas y naciones” —Apocalipsis 17:15 The angel said, also "The waters you saw on which the prostitute is seated, are peoples, nations, languages and nations"-Revelation 17:15



Vemos aquí que el primer poder en el libro de Apocalipsis 13 tiene sus comienzos en un área altamente poblada del mundo entre naciones existentes. We see here that the first power in the book of Revelation 13 has its beginnings in a highly populated area in the world among existing nations. Esto sugiere que el primer poder salio de un área poblada de Europa. This suggests that the first order came in a populated area of Europe. El segundo poder de Apocalipsis 13:11 sale de la tierra, lo que significa que se levanto en un área del mundo en la que existían pocos habitantes. The second power of Revelation 13:11 comes from the earth, which means that arose in an area of the world in which there were few inhabitants. Esto sugiere que el segundo poder ocurrió en el Hemisferio Oeste donde la densidad poblacional era muy limitada. This suggests that the second power occurred in the Western Hemisphere where the population density was very limited.



Aquí hay mas información acerca de la segunda bestia. Here's more information about the second beast.



Vi subir del mar un monstruo que tenia siete cabezas y diez cuernos. I saw a monster up from the sea having seven heads and ten horns. En cada cuerno tenia una corona, y en las cabezas tenia nombres ofensivos contra Dios. In each horn had a crown, and had heads offensive names against God. Este monstruo que yo vi parecía un leopardo; y tenia patas como de oso y boca como de león. This monster that I saw resembled a leopard, and had legs like a bear and a lion's mouth. El dragón le dio su poder y su trono y mucha autoridad. The dragon gave him his power and his throne and great authority. — Apocalipsis 13:1,2 - Revelation 13:1,2



Hay aun más información sobre la segunda bestia. There is even more information about the second beast.



Después vi otro monstruo, que subía de la tierra. Then I saw another monster rising from the earth. Tenia dos cuernos que parecían de cordero pero hablaba como un dragón. He had two horns that looked like lamb but spoke like a dragon. — Apocalipsis 13:11 - Revelation 13:11



Veamos el significado de las palabras blasfemia, dragón y cordero en estos versículos. Consider the meaning of the words blasphemy, dragon and lamb in these verses. El primer poder comete blasfemia, y el dragón le ha dado su existencia y autoridad. The first to commit blasphemy, and the dragon gave it its existence and authority.



Marcos explica uno de los significados de la palabra blasfemia. Mark explains one of the meanings of the word blasphemy.



Cuando Jesús vio la fe que tenían le dijo al enfermo: Hijo mío tus pecados te quedan perdonados. When Jesus saw their faith, he told the patient my son thy sins are forgiven. Algunos maestros de la Ley que estaban allí sentados pensaron: ¿Cómo se atreve este a hablar así? Some scribes were sitting there thought: How dare this man speak thus? ¿Quién puede perdonar los pecados sino Dios? Who can forgive sins but God? — Marcos 2:5-7 - Mark 2:5-7



Como Hijo de Dios, Cristo tenia el poder para perdonar pecados, y aun sigue teniendo el poder para perdonar pecados hoy día. As the Son of God, Christ had the power to forgive sins, yet still has the power to forgive sins today. Si un hombre cualquiera dice que tiene el poder para perdonar pecados, eso constituye una blasfemia. If any man says he has the power to forgive sins, that is blasphemy. Los Judíos, quienes rehusaron reconocer a Jesús como Hijo de Dios, declararon que El había cometido blasfemia porque se creía ser el único hombre que podía perdonar pecados. The Jews, who refused to recognize Jesus as the Son of God, declared that he had committed blasphemy because it was believed to be the only man who could forgive sins. El primer poder en Apocalipsis 13 comité blasfemia al reclamar que puede perdonar los pecados de la gente. The first power in Revelation 13 blasphemy to claim that the committee can forgive the sins of the people.



A continuación otro significado de la palabra blasfemia. Then another meaning of the word blasphemy.



Los judíos le contestaron a él diciendo: No te vamos a apedrear por ninguna cosa buena que hayas hecho, sino porque tus palabras son una ofensa contra Dios. The Jews answered him, saying: We're not going to stone by anything good you've done, but because your words are an offense against God. Tu no eres mas que un hombre, pero te estas haciendo Dios a ti mismo. You're not just a man, but you're making yourself God. — Juan 10:33 - John 10:33



Cristo era Dios en carne humana, pero los judíos no reconocieron esto. Christ was God in human flesh, but the Jews did not recognize this. Así que cuando Cristo clamo ser uno con Su Padre, los judíos lo declararon blasfemo. So when Christ cried out to be one with His Father, the Jews declared blasphemous. Por tanto, cuando un hombre clama que es Dios en la tierra, se constituye en blasfemo y por ende en el primer poder que aparece en el libro de Apocalipsis que clama ser Dios. Therefore, when a man claims to be God on earth, constitutes blasphemy and therefore in the first power in the book of Revelation that claims to be God.



¿Se le ocurre pensar en algún poder que sale de Europa y que clama que puede perdonar pecados y que es Dios? Can you think think of any power that comes from Europe and claims that can forgive sins and that is God? El confesionario de la Iglesia Católica Romana es reconocido en todo el mundo como el lugar al que la gente va para que sus pecados sean perdonados por un sacerdote. The confessional of the Roman Catholic Church is recognized worldwide as the place where people go to have their sins forgiven by a priest. Los crimines mas horrendos y los actos mas terribles han sido el resultado de que un individuo le haya confesado sus secretos mas íntimos a otro ser humano. The most heinous crimes and the most terrible acts have been the result of an individual you have confessed their most intimate secrets to another human being. La Biblia dice, “Porque hay un sólo Dios y un sólo mediador entre Dios y el hombre, Jesucristo.”( 1era de Timoteo 2:5. El sacerdote católico no tiene mas habilidad de perdonar pecados que cualquier mascota. The Bible says, "For there is one God and one mediator between God and man, Jesus Christ." (1st Timothy 2:5. The Catholic priest has no more ability to forgive sins that any pet.



A continuación considere algunas de las declaraciones que el papado ha hecho con relación a que el Papa es dios en la tierra. Then consider some of the statements that the papacy has made in relation to the pope is god on earth.



El Papa representa una figura tan admirada y de suprema dignidad y es tan exaltado que no es considerado un mero hombre, sino alguien como Dios, un Vicario de Dios. The Pope is a figure much admired and supreme dignity and so exalted that it is not considered a mere man, but like God, a vicar of God. El Papa es una figura tan importante y de suprema dignidad, propiamente hablando, que no ha sido establecido en ningún rango de dignidad sino que ha sido colocado en el lugar mas alto de todas las dignidades... The Pope is a figure so important and supreme dignity, properly speaking, has not been established in any rank of dignity, but has been placed on the highest place of all honors ... Es como el divino monarca el supremo emperador y el rey de reyes. As the divine king is the supreme emperor and king of kings. Por lo que el Papa es coronado con una triple corona como Rey del Cielo y de la Tierra y de las Regiones mas bajas. So the Pope is crowned with a triple crown as King of Heaven and Earth and the lower regions. — Lucius Ferrais, Prompta Bibliotheca, volume 6, 438, 442. - Lucius Ferrais, Prompt Bibliotheca, volume 6, 438, 442.



Porque tú eres el pastor, el médico, la cabeza, finalmente, tu eres otro Dios en la tierra — Christopher Marcellus's Oration in the Fifth Lateran Council, 4th session. Because you're the pastor, the doctor, the head, ultimately, your art another God on earth - Christopher Marcellus's Oration in the Fifth Lateran Council, 4th session. JD Mansi. JD Mansi. Sacrorum Conciliorum...Collectio, volume 32, col. Sacrorum Conciliorum ... Collectio, volume 32, col. 761, traducido. 761, translated.



El papa es el juez supremo de la ley de la tierra... The pope is the supreme judge of the law of the land ... él es el vicegerente de Cristo, quien no sólo es un sacerdote para siempre, sino también Rey de Reyes y Señor de Señores. He is the vicegerent of Christ, who is not only a priest forever, but also King of Kings and Lord of Lords. — La Civilta Católica, marzo 18, 1871. - The Catholic Civilta, March 18, 1871. citado de Leonard Woosley Bacon, An Inside View of the Vatican Council, American Tract Society, p.229. Woosley said Leonard Bacon, An Inside View of the Vatican Council, American Tract Society, p.229.



Consideremos algunos de los nombres que se le aplican a Cristo en las Escrituras y veremos si los mismos se le podrían aplicar al Papa: Dios Todopoderoso, Creador, Salvador, Cristo, Señor, El más Santo. Consider some of the names that are applied to Christ in the Scriptures and see if they could apply it to the Pope: God Almighty, Creator, Savior, Christ, Lord, Most Holy. El Rey de Reyes y el Reverendo.¿Qué podría considerarse mas blasfemo que un hombre que clama llamarse a sí mismo cualquiera de estos nombres? The King of Kings and the Reverend. What could be considered more profane than a man who claims to call itself one of these names? “ Y abrió su boca y blasfemo en contra de Dios...” (Apocalipsis 13:6). "And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God ..." (Revelation 13:6).



Las citas anteriores muestran la clara blasfemia. The above quotations show the clear blasphemy. El poder de la Iglesia Católica Romana es la primera bestia de Apocalipsis 13 en la que dice “ El dragón le dio su poder, y su trono y gran autoridad.” ¿Quién es el dragón que le otorga al Papado su poder y autoridad? The power of the Roman Catholic Church is the first beast of Revelation 13 in which he says "The dragon gave him his power and his throne and great authority." Who is the dragon that gives the Papal power and authority?



La Biblia nos dice que ese dragón es Satanás, el diablo. The Bible tells us that the dragon is Satan, the devil.



Así que fue expulsado el gran dragón, aquella serpiente antigua que se llama diablo y Satanás que engaña a todo el mundo, El y sus ángeles fueron lanzados a la tierra. So I was sent the great dragon, that ancient serpent called the Devil and Satan who deceives the whole world, and his angels were cast down to earth. — Apocalipsis 12:9 - Revelation 12:9



El diablo mismo le otorgo el poder al Papado, su trono y su autoridad. The devil himself granted him the power to the papacy, his throne and authority. El diablo esta a cargo del Papado. The devil is in charge of the Papacy. El diablo es quien le dirige a destruir la libertad en la tierra. The devil is the one you intended to destroy freedom in the land. El diablo es quien trata de conseguir apoyo de las multitudes de gente en la tierra logrando que estos se inclinen ante el Pontífice de Roma. The devil is the one trying to get support from the crowds of people on earth making these bow to the Pope of Rome. El tipo de gobierno brutal que el Papado dirigió durante la época del Oscurantismo es el tipo de gobierno que el diablo y el Papado promueven en el mundo hoy día. The type of brutal regimes led the Papacy during the Dark Ages is the kind of government that the devil and the papacy promoted in the world today. Un gobierno satánico que tiene las siguientes características: A satanic government that has the following characteristics:



1. 1. Es controlado por unos pocos; es dictatorial Is controlled by a few, it is dictatorial



2. 2. No le da libertad a su gente It does not give freedom to its people



3. 3. Une a la iglesia y al gobierno Join the church and government



4. 4. Persigue a los que no hacen como ellos dicen Persecutes those who do not do as they say



El hecho de que el Papado es el primer poder de Apocalipsis 13 no cabe lugar a dudas. The fact that the papacy is the first power in Revelation 13 there is no doubt. Sin embargo, ¿quién es el segundo poder que se menciona en Apocalipsis 13? But who is the second power that is mentioned in Revelation 13? Sabemos que se levanta en el Hemisferio Occidental y que “tiene dos cuernos como una oveja y habla como un dragón” (versículo 11). We know that rises in the Western Hemisphere and has two horns like a lamb and speaks like a dragon "(verse 11). Este versículo indica que el gobierno comenzó como una oveja, siendo libre, amorosa y justa pero terminó copiando el estilo del Papa o del gobierno satánico. This verse indicates that the government began as a sheep, being free, but ended up loving and just copying the style of the Pope or the satanic government.



La Biblia nos dice que Cristo es el Cordero. The Bible tells us that Christ is the Lamb.



Al día siguiente, Juan vio a Jesús, que se acercaba a el y dijo: “¡Miren, ese es el Cordero de Dios que quita el pecado del mundo!” — Juan 1:29 The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said: "Look, this is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world" - John 1:29



Cuando vio pasar a Jesús, Juan dijo:! When he saw Jesus, John said:! “Miren ese es el Cordero de Dios!” — Juan 1:36 "Look this is the Lamb of God" - John 1:36



Cristo es el Cordero de la profecía Bíblica. Christ is the Lamb of Bible prophecy. El segundo poder de Apocalipsis 13, que se levanta en el Hemisferio Occidental, comienza con un gobierno parecido al de Cristo, pero termina con uno parecido al del dragón (Satanás). The second power of Revelation 13 which rises in the Western Hemisphere, beginning with a government like that of Christ, but ends with one similar to the dragon (Satan). Comienza con un gobierno completamente opuesto al del Papado y termina con uno exactamente igual. Start with a government completely opposed to the Papacy and ends with an identically. Ya que el gobierno de Cristo se se opone completamente al gobierno de Satanás, por tanto el segundo poder tendrá las siguientes características: Since the government of Christ is completely opposed to the rule of Satan, so the second power will have the following characteristics:



1. 1. Será un gobierno de la gente, para la gente y por la gente. Be a government of the people, for people and for people.



2. 2. Garantizara ciertos derechos inalienables tales como el derecho a la libertad, a la libertad de expresión y la libertad religiosa, etc. Guarantee certain inalienable rights including the right to liberty, freedom of expression and freedom of religion, etc.



3. 3. Mantendrá a la iglesia y al estado (gobierno) separados. Keep church and state (government) separated.



4. 4. Defenderá a la gente de la tiranía religiosa y política. Defend people from religious and political tyranny.



El segundo poder de Apocalipsis 13 que posee estas tres características no puede ser otro que los Estados Unidos de América. The second power of Revelation 13 that has these three features can not be other than the United States of America. Ella se levanta sola en el Hemisferio Occidental con un gobierno tipo-cordero. She stands alone in the Western Hemisphere with a government-like lamb. Como hemos visto claramente a través de la lectura de este libro, los Jesuitas han sido utilizado para destruir ese gobierno tipo cordero convertirlo en uno de tipo Papal.—demoníaco. As we have seen clearly through reading this book, the Jesuits have been used to destroy that government make a lamb-like type Papal.-demonic. Apocalipsis 13 profetiza hace 2000 años que los Jesuitas tendrían éxito porque en el versículo 11 dice que América comenzaría con un gobierno tipo cordero y que un día “hablaría como un dragón”. Revelation 13 prophesies 2000 years ago that the Jesuits would be successful because in verse 11 says that America would begin with a lamb-like government and that one day "speak like a dragon." La infiltración de Jesuitas a todos los niveles y departamentos del gobierno de los Estados Unidos es la razón por la cual este país se ha convertido en un poder tiránico y perseguidor. Jesuits infiltration at all levels and departments of the United States government is the reason why this country has become a tyrannical, persecuting power. América habla y se comporta mas y más como Satanás cada día. America speaks and behaves more and more like Satan every day.



Apocalipsis 13 revela el levantamiento del Papado en los Estados Unidos. Revelation 13 reveals the rise of the papacy in the United States. Describe las características del gobierno Americano al principio y anuncia el apoderamiento de los jesuitas en la nación. Describe the characteristics of American government at the beginning and announced the takeover of the Jesuits in the nation. También nos muestra el poder dictatorial que tenia el Papado antes de la Gran Reforma Protestante. It also shows the dictatorial power that had the papacy before the Great Reformation.



Adoraron al dragón porque había dado autoridad al monstruo diciendo “¿Quién hay como este monstruo, y quien podrá luchar contra él? They worshiped the dragon because he gave authority to the monster saying "Who is like this monster, and who can fight him? — Apocalipsis 13:4 - Revelation 13:4



Durante la época del Oscurantismo, el mundo estaba adorando a los pies del Pontífice Romano. During the Dark Ages, the world was worshiping at the feet of the Roman Pontiff. Cuando surge Mártin Lutero y la Reforma Protestante, se le dio la Biblia a la gente en su propio idioma como regla única de fe y de practica. When there is Martin Luther and the Reformation, the Bible was given to people in their own language as the only rule of faith and practice. El grito de los Reformistas era la Biblia. The cry of the Reformers was the Bible. Con el paso del tiempo, muchos miles de personas aceptaron las enseñanzas que encontraron solamente en la Biblia. Over time, many thousands of people accepted the teachings found only in the Bible.



Comenzó entonces una época en la que se requería que el mundo entero adorara al Papa bajo pena de muerte y los Estados Unidos serían la potencia mundial que presionaría al mundo a someterse al Papa. Then began a period in which it was required that the whole world worship the pope on the death penalty and the U.S. would be the world power would push the world into submission to the pope.



Y tenia toda la autoridad del primer monstruo en su presencia y hacia que la tierra y sus habitantes adoraran al primer monstruo el que había sido curado de su herida mortal. And he had all the authority of the first beast in his presence and to the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast that had been cured of his fatal wound. Y al segundo monstruo se le dio el poder de dar vida a la imagen del primer monstruo, para que aquella imagen hablara e hiciera matar a todos los que no la adorasen. And the second monster was given the power to give life to the image of the first beast, so to speak and make that image to kill all who do not worship. — Apocalipsis 13:12, 15 - Revelation 13:12, 15



¿Cómo adoraría el mundo al Papa? How does the world worship the Pope? ¿Qué señal revelaría la autoridad del Papa en la tierra? What signal would reveal the Pope's authority on earth? Debemos examinar como define la escritura la palabra adoración. We examine how the script defines the word worship. La forma en la cual respondemos a ello determina nuestro destino tal y como señala el versículo a continuación: The way in which we respond to it determines our destiny as the verse says the following:



Luego los siguió otro ángel, el tercero que decía con fuerte voz: “Si alguno adora al monstruo ya su imagen y se deja poner su marca en la frente o en la mano, tendrá que beber el vino de la ira de Dios, que será preparado puro en la copa de su enojo y será atormentado con fuego y azufre delante de los santos ángeles y del Cordero. Then followed another angel, the third in a loud voice saying: "If anyone worships the beast and his image and left his mark upon their forehead or hand, you have to drink the wine of the wrath of God, to be prepared mixture into the cup of his anger and will be tormented with fire and brimstone before the holy angels and the Lamb. — Apocalipsis 14: 9,10. - Revelation 14: 9.10.



Esta es la advertencia más severa de parte de Dios en toda la Biblia. This is the most severe warning from God throughout the Bible. Los próximos versículos mostraran la diferencia entre la adoración verdadera y la adoración falsa. The next verses show the difference between true worship and false worship.



De nada sirve que me rinda culto: sus enseñanzas son mandatos de hombre. It is useless to worship me: his teachings are mandates of man. Porque ustedes dejan el mandato de dios para seguir las tradiciones de los hombres. Because you leave the command of God to follow the traditions of men. También les dijo: Para mantener sus propias tradiciones s ustedes pasan por alto el mandato de Dios. They also said: To keep their own traditions s you ignore God's command. — Marcos 7:7-9 - Mark 7:7-9



A los Judíos se les dieron los 10 mandamientos en el libro de Éxodo 20: 2-17. The Jews were given the 10 commandments in Exodus 20: 2-17. A través de los siglos, los Judíos corrompieron los mandamientos con muchas tradiciones que confundieron la autoridad de los 10 mandamientos. Over the centuries the Jews had corrupted the commandments with many traditions that confused the authority of the 10 commandments. El haber hecho esto fue condenado por Jesucristo. Having done that was condemned by Jesus Christ. Él declaraba que cuando los 10 mandamientos se ponen a un lado y se le anteponen las tradiciones de los hombres, eso constituye una adoración vana. He stated that when the 10 commandments are set aside and is preceded by the traditions of men, it is vain worship. La verdadera adoración envuelve el honrar los diez mandamientos. True worship involves honoring the Ten Commandments.



La adoración falsa consiste en adorar las tradiciones del hombre. False worship is to worship the traditions of men.



La verdadera adoración consiste en honrar los mandamientos de Dios. True worship is to honor God's commandments.



En Apocalipsis 13 y 14 se nos confronta con la tradición Papal que ha sido exaltada por encima de los mandamientos de Dios y esta tradición Papal es la marca de la autoridad Papal en el mundo. In Revelation 13 and 14 we are confronted with papal tradition that has been exalted above the commandments of God and the Papal tradition is the mark of the Papal authority in the world. ¿Conoce usted de alguna tradición Papal que sea directamente contraria a lo que dice uno de los 10 mandamientos y que el mismo Papa nos dice que constituye su marca de autoridad sobre la Tierra? Do you know of a papal tradition that is directly contrary to what he says one of the 10 commandments and that the Pope himself says that is its mark of authority on earth? Esta tradición es tan vil a los ojos de Dios que si se continúa obedeciendo el mandamiento del Papa sabiendo que este va explícitamente en contra de los mandamientos de Dios “ tendrán que beber el vino de la ira de Dios que se ha preparado puro en la copa de su enojo” (Apocalipsis 14:10.) This tradition is so vile in the eyes of God if they continue to obey the commandment of the Pope, knowing that this is explicitly against the commandments of God "will have to drink the wine of the wrath of God who has prepared mixture into the cup of his wrath "(Revelation 14:10.)



Veremos a continuación algunas de las aseveraciones que hacen los católicos en su literatura, que muestran de forma contundente que el Papa es la marca de autoridad en la tierra. Let us review some of the assertions made by Catholics in their literature, which show conclusively that the Pope is the mark of authority on earth.



Pruébeme por la Biblia que se supone que yo guarde el domingo como el día santo. Prove from the Bible that I'm supposed to keep Sunday as the Sabbath. No existe dicha ley en la Biblia. There is no such law in the Bible. Es una ley creada por la iglesia católica. It is a law created by the Catholic Church. La Biblia dice: “Acuérdate del sábado para consagrarlo al Señor.” La iglesia católica dice: ¡No! The Bible says, "Remember the Sabbath to keep it holy." The Catholic Church says, No! Por mi poder divino yo abolí el sábado y te ordeno que santifiques el primer día de la semana. By my divine power I abolish the Sabbath and command you to sanctify the first day of the week. Y así ha sido. And so it proved. El mundo civilizado por completo se inclinó con obediencia reverente a lo que dijo la Santa Iglesia Católica. The entire civilized world bowed with reverent obedience to what he said the Holy Catholic Church. — Thomas Enright, CSSR, Presidente del Colegio Redentorista (Católico Romano), Kansasa City, MO. - Thomas Enright, CSSR, President of Redemptorist College (Roman Catholic), Kansasa City, MO. febrero 18, 1884. February 18, 1884.



El hecho de que los Protestantes guarden el domingo representa rendirle honra a la autoridad de la iglesia católica. The fact that Protestants keep Sunday is to pay honor to the authority of the Catholic Church. — Monseñor Louis Segur, Plain Talk about the Protestantism of Today (1868) p. - Monsignor Louis Segur, Plain Talk about the Protestantism of Today (1868) p. 213. 213.



Si los protestantes siguieran la Biblia, adorarían a Dios en el día sábado. If Protestants would follow the Bible, worship God on the Sabbath. Al guardar el domingo están siguiendo la ley de la iglesia católica — Albert Smith, Canciller de la Arquidiócesis de Baltimore, respondiéndole al Cardenal en una carta en febrero 10 de 1920. In keeping the Sunday they are following the law of the Catholic Church - Albert Smith, Chancellor of the Archdiocese of Baltimore, replying for the Cardinal in a letter on February 10, 1920.



El Estado al pasar las Leyes para que se guarde el domingo, está reconociendo la autoridad de la iglesia católica y llevando cabo casi fielmente sus instrucciones. The State in passing laws to be kept on Sunday, is recognizing the authority of the Catholic Church and carrying out his instructions most faithfully.



El domingo, como el día de la semana que se separa para la adoración pública obligatoria a Dios, que se santifica y se separa de realizar cualquier labor, negocios o actividades mundanas y se llevan a cabo ejercicios de devoción a Dios es una creación de la iglesia católica. On Sunday, as the day of the week is set aside for the obligatory public worship of God, that is sanctified and separated from any work, business or worldly activities and perform exercises of devotion to God is a creation of the Catholic Church. — The American Catholic Quarterly Review, enero de 1883, pp. - The American Catholic Quarterly Review, January 1883, pp. 152, 139. 152, 139.



Los protestantes han aceptado el domingo en vez del sábado como el día de adoración a Dios copiando a la iglesia catódica después que esta realizo el cambio... Protestants have agreed on Sunday instead of Saturday as the day of worship the church cathodic copying after this to make a change ... pero la mente protestante parece no darse cuenta de que al observar el domingo están aceptando la autoridad de aquel que constituye La voz de la iglesia, el Papa. But the Protestant mind does not seem to realize that by keeping Sunday they are accepting the authority of one who is the voice of the church, the Pope. — Our Sunday Visitor, febrero 5 de 1950. - Our Sunday Visitor, February 5, 1950.



Es bueno recordarles a los Presbiterianos, Bautistas, Metodistas, ya todos los demás cristianos que la Biblia no respalda el guardar el domingo. It is good to remind the Presbyterians, Baptists, Methodists, and all other Christians that the Bible does not support the save on Sunday. El domingo como día de culto fue una creación de la iglesia católica romana y aquellos que lo guardan, están guardando el mandamiento de la iglesia católica. Sunday as a day of worship was a creation of the Roman Catholic Church and those who keep it, are keeping the commandment of the Catholic Church. — padre Brady, en un comunicado publicado en las noticias de Elizabeth NJ en marzo 18 de 1903. - Father Brady said in a statement posted on the news of Elizabeth NJ on March 18, 1903.



La marca de la autoridad de la iglesia católica en el mundo es el observar el domingo como día de culto y adoración a Dios. The mark of the authority of the Catholic church in the world is to observe Sunday as a day of worship and adoration of God. Es una tradición que no aparece en ningún lugar en la Biblia. It is a tradition that appears nowhere in the Bible. Se originó en Roma, y cuando honramos la tradición del domingo honramos al Papa, el guardar el domingo va completamente en contra de las sencillas enseñanzas de los diez mandamientos que declaran: It originated in Rome and when we honor the tradition of honoring the Pope Sunday, the Sunday observance completely goes against the plain teaching of the Ten Commandments state:



Acuérdate del sábado, para consagrarlo al Señor. Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Trabaja seis Díaz y haz en ellos todo lo que tengas que hacer, pero el séptimo día es un reposo consagrado al Señor tu Dios. Diaz works six and make them all you have to do, but the seventh day is a rest, holy to the Lord your God. No hagas ningún trabajo en ese día, ni tampoco tu hijo, ni tu hija, ni tu esclavo, ni tu esclava, ni tus animales, ni el extranjero que viva contigo. Do not do any work on that day, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, nor thy manservant, nor your maidservant, nor your animals, nor the alien living with you. Porque el Señor hizo seis días en el cielo, la tierra, el mar y todo lo que hay en ellos y descanso el séptimo día. For six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea and everything in them and rested on the seventh day. Por eso el Señor bendijo el sábado y lo declaro día sagrado. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and declared it holy day. Éxodo 20:8-11 Exodus 20:8-11



El Papa nos dice exactamente cuál es su MARCA. The Pope tells us exactly what your brand.



Desde luego la Iglesia Católica clama que el cambio de día de sábado a domingo fue creación suya. Of course the Catholic Church claims the change of day from Saturday to Sunday was his creation. Y el cambio es la marca de su poder eclesiástico y de su autoridad en asuntos religiosos. And change is the mark of her ecclesiastical power and authority in religious matters. — CF Thomas. - CF Thomas. Canciller del Cardenal Gibbons. Chancellor of Cardinal Gibbons.



El domingo es nuestra MARCA de autoridad...la iglesia esta por encima de la Biblia y el haber cambiado el guardar el día santo de sábado a domingo es prueba de ello. Sunday is our MARK of authority ... the church is above the Bible and have changed the observe the Sabbath from Saturday to Sunday is proof. — Record Católico, septiembre 1, 1923. - Catholic Record, September 1, 1923. (Notario). (Notary).



Por sus propias palabras, nos dicen que el guardar el domingo es la Marca de la Bestia. By his own words, tell us that keeping Sunday is the Mark of the Beast. Recordemos que Satanás, el diablo le dio poder a la iglesia católica y una gran autoridad en el mundo. Remember that Satan, the devil gave power to the Catholic Church and a great authority in the world. Ya que la iglesia católica esta haciéndole el trabajo al diablo, es el diablo quien quiere romper con el mandamiento de Dios en cuanto a guardar el sábado cambiando el domingo por el día de adoración al Papa. Since the Catholic Church is making it work the devil is the devil who wants to break God's commandment regarding the Sabbath on Sunday changing the day of worship the Pope.



Apocalipsis 13 y la historia actual nos dice que en algún momento los Jesuitas fomentaran otro ataque terrorista o crearan alguna nueva crisis y como consecuencia del mismo podrán instituir su mas anhelado deseo...una Nueva Ley Nacional para guardar el domingo. Revelation 13 and present history tells us that at some point the Jesuits foster another terrorist attack or create a new crisis and as a result thereof may set his most cherished desire ... a new national law to keep Sunday. Han utilizado los desastres de Waco, a la Cuidad de Oklahoma y el World Trade Center para eliminar algunas de las mas preciadas libertades de América. Have used the disaster at Waco, the Oklahoma City and World Trade Center to eliminate some of the most precious American freedoms. Estos tres sucesos fueron bien planificados para condicionar a los americanos a ceder los derechos que se han comprado a precio de sangre. These three events were well planned to condition Americans to cede their rights have been purchased at the price of blood. Esta es una tendencia que no cesará hasta que se implante la Ley Dominical en esta tierra y luego alrededor del mundo. This is a trend that will not stop until Sunday Law is implemented in this country and then around the world. Estas leyes representaran una persecución sangrienta como en los días del Oscurantismo. These laws represent a bloody persecution in the days of the Dark Ages.



En un día cercano habrá solo dos grupos en el mundo entero. In one day soon there will be only two groups in the world. De un lado estará una parte de la humanidad que se alineara con los Jesuitas del Vaticano en rebelión directa contra el Dios del universo. On one side is a part of humanity that is aligned with the Jesuits of the Vatican in direct rebellion against the God of the universe. El otro grupo que será mucho menor consistirá de aquellos que aman a Dios y guardan sus mandamientos. The other group will be much less consist of those who love God and keep His commandments. La gran línea divisoria serán los Diez Mandamientos, específicamente, el guardar el sábado como día sagrado. The great dividing line will be the Ten Commandments, specifically, keeping the Sabbath as holy day.



¿De que lado estará usted? Which side will you be? ¿Abrazara usted la meta final del Papado, la observación del domingo como el día sagrado o abrazara usted la gran señal del poder de Dios para crear y para redimir —el séptimo día, el sábado? "Embrace your final goal of the papacy, the observation of Sunday as the holy day or you embrace the great sign of God's power to create and to redeem, the seventh day Sabbath? El guardar el domingo, el obedecer al Papa ya los Jesuitas del Vaticano llevará a América y al mundo a la devastación ya la ruina: mientras que el guardar el sábado lo cuál representa una total sumisión a los mandamientos de Dios nos dirigirá a la vida eterna con el Señor Jesucristo. The store on Sunday, to obey the pope and Vatican Jesuit lead America and the world to the devastation and ruin, while keeping the Sabbath which is a total submission to the commandments of God will lead us to eternal life with the Lord Jesus Christ.



Luego los siguió otro ángel, el tercero que decía con fuerte voz: “Si alguno adora al monstruo ya su imagen y se deja poner su marca en la frente o en la mano, tendrá que beber el vino de la ira de Dios, que será preparado puro en la copa de su enojo y será atormentado con fuego y azufre delante de los santos ángeles y del Cordero. Then followed another angel, the third in a loud voice saying: "If anyone worships the beast and his image and left his mark upon their forehead or hand, you have to drink the wine of the wrath of God, to be prepared mixture into the cup of his anger and will be tormented with fire and brimstone before the holy angels and the Lamb. — Apocalipsis 14: 9,10. - Revelation 14: 9.10.

The Devil's Trio - Part 1 · May 01, 2002

The Devil's Trio - Part 1 · May 01, 2002 X
By Elder Lawrence Nelson

In our last two sermons we have discussed two members of the devil’s trio. The first is the ten-horned beast of Revelation 13, which the Bible clearly identifies to be the papacy. The second is the lamb-like, two-horned beast found in the same chapter which is the United States of America, established as a Protestant nation and described as becoming so apostate as to join hands with the papal power of Catholicism.

In this message I will discuss the third member which comprises the devil’s end-time trio which the Bible and the Spirit of Prophecy reveal to be spiritualism. The following quotation from Testimonies for the Church, Volume 5, p. 451 reveals what we are to expect from this evil, last-day union of the Papacy, apostate Protestantism and spiritualism. “When Protestantism shall stretch her hand across the gulf to grasp the hand of 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. As the approach of the Roman armies was a sign to the disciples of the impending destruction of Jerusalem, so may this apostasy be a sign to us that the limit of God’s forbearance is reached, that the measure of our nation’s iniquity is full, and that the angel of mercy is about to take her flight, never to return.”

With this sad, heartbreaking introduction, let us pray. Our loving Father, in the name of Jesus we plead for divine guidance as we discuss this third power of spiritualism, which is an intricate member of the devil’s end-time trio. We realize that we are attacking the very dragon himself, which in Thy Word describes Satan as being able to produce wonder-working miracles of deception for the purpose to honor his papal mark of authority – Sunday worship. We plead that Thou wilt awaken Thy sleeping church to this danger. Help each member to become such students of Thy Word, through divine guidance, that we shall be able to resist this deceiving power of Satan and gain victory over his delusions, for we must discern truth from error. This we ask in Jesus’ name, Amen.

Let us now turn to the scriptures where we find this third part of the trio – spiritualism – which comprises the devil’s trio. Let us read Revelation 13:13, 14 and Revelation 16: 14, 15. “And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.” “And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.”

We begin with a question: “What major belief is held in common by the religions of this world (except God’s remnant) which makes it absolutely impossible to resist the power of spiritualism?” – We will find the answer in The Great Controversy p. 551. “The doctrine of natural immortality, first borrowed from the pagan philosophy, and in the darkness of the great apostasy incorporated into the Christian faith, has supplanted the truth, so plainly taught in Scripture that, ‘the dead know not anything.’”

This false doctrine of man’s consciousness in death opens the door for the supposed spirits of the dead to communicate with the living. This becomes a secret channel used by Satan to perform miracles by the impersonation of evil angels to deceive anyone who believes in the immortality of the dead. Inspiration informs us the coming of the Lord is to be preceded by “the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders and with all deceivableness of unrighteousness.” 2 Thessalonians 2:9, 10.

The apostle John, describing the miracle-working power that will be manifested in the last days declares, “He doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do.” Revelation 13:13, 14. “No mere impostures are here foretold. Men are deceived by the miracles which Satan’s agents have power to do, not which they pretend to do.” Great Controversy p. 553.

Let us never underestimate what Satan is planning to do with his miracle-working power in this end time for we are told, “That mighty being who could take the world’s Redeemer to an exceedingly high mountain and bring before Him all the kingdoms of the earth and the glory of them, will present his temptations to men in a manner to pervert the senses of all who are not shielded by divine power.” Great Controversy p. 554. Can you imagine what it will be like when Satan appears as Christ performing unbelievable miracles to prove that he has changed the seventh-day Sabbath to Sunday worship and that all must keep Sunday holy – the first day of the week? Have you considered the result? The answer is very obvious. The entire world will be turned against Seventh-day Adventists with satanic zeal to force them to comply or die.

Consider the devil’s preparations that all will accept the manifestations of spiritualism as divine. In Great Controversy p. 556 we read, “Spiritualism, which numbers its converts by hundreds of thousands, yea, by millions, which has made its way into scientific circles, which has invaded churches, and has found favor in legislative bodies, and even in the courts of kings — this mammoth deception is but a revival, in a new disguise, of the witchcraft condemned and prohibited of old.”

I can testify to this by personal knowledge. During the months I spend in Europe while engaged in the General Conference youth work it became evident to me that spiritualism was spreading all through Europe. In Zurich, Switzerland while preparing for the Youth World Congress for all of our young people I was astonished to discover that this city, which for so many years had been a haven of Protestantism, had now become the European center of spiritualism.

In England, where men like John Knox had led tens of thousands to believe in Jesus Christ, I was amazed to find so many Protestant churches had become beer parlors. Still more astounding was to see many churches of the reformation now jammed to the doors in spiritualistic worship while England’s great cathedrals were practically empty. It is no wonder that the witchcraft of Harry Potter was born in England and is now sweeping the world with its sorcery – capturing the children’s imaginations with curiosity about ghosts and headless coachmen. They dwell on such themes as demons sucking out the soul, with blood oozing on the floor, of drinking such blood to obtain spiritual vitality, of werewolves portrayed as having good characters. These books are filled with lying, teaching the youth to be disobedient and even portraying the murder of parents by youth. This is all a product of spiritualism.

In reports of world news we learned that the recent motion picture of Harry Potter brought in more money in its box office during the first week than any other picture in past history. Satan is thus preparing the youth – even the small children – to be captured by his satanic miracles, which are to prove that he has the authority to change the Sabbath to Sunday worship. How do I know all this? Have I read these books? – No, indeed I have not. But I receive my information from authoritative book reviews.

Great Controversy p. 558 says, “There are few who have any conception of the deceptive power of spiritualism and the danger of coming under its influence. Many tamper with it merely to gratify their curiosity. They have no real faith in it and would be filled with horror at the thought of yielding themselves to the spirits’ control. But they venture upon the forbidden ground, and the mighty destroyer exercises his power upon them against their will. Let them once be induced to submit their minds to his direction, and he holds them captive. It is impossible, in their strength, to break away from the bewitching, alluring spell. Nothing but the power of God, granted in answer to the earnest prayer of faith, can deliver these ensnared souls.”

Now, let us take time to discuss the greatest spiritualistic movement in the world today, which is found within the Roman Catholic Church. Fifty-five thousand of the priests belong to the Marion movement, which believes and teaches that the apparitions of Mary are divine revelations. Millions upon millions of Catholic believers are captivated by the miracles performed by “Mary” and are convinced that her predictions are from God. It is common knowledge that crowds of fifty- to seventy-thousand often attend her apparitions. These messages from Mary usually originate with visionaries in every part of the globe. And why not, for the present pope, John Paul II, claims to hold daily communication with Mary and urges his followers to pray to her every day.

What’s even more amazing, Protestantism is beginning to give their attention to these apparitions because so many of the predictions are coming to pass. More and more the music of Catholicism is used in their music service. And why not, for the customs of Rome are found in Protestant homes in the Catholic nativity scenes every December 25. Not only Christmas but Easter, St. Valentine’s Day and Halloween have become part of apostate Protestantism.

But the most significant change in today’s spiritualism is to be found in the messages to Mary in her apparitions. Satan has not been asleep. He has taken note of how God has led His church out of the apostate Protestantism in the early 1800’s by giving His church a prophet to direct and counsel its leadership. Satan envisioned a prophet in his church could help him capture the world, so Mary has now been proclaimed the prophet of Catholicism. But what is more amazing is the wording found in Mary’s apparitions in discussing and predicting end-time prophecies.

She speaks continually using words and phrases that are so familiar to Seventh-day Adventists which are found in the Spirit of Prophecy. But there is one vast difference – Satan does not use scripture to explain scripture as Ellen White; instead the devil offers his false interpretations completely changing the meaning of God’s Word.

In a book, The Thunder of Justice , written by Ted and Maureen Flynn, (in which Malachi Martin wrote the forward and was published by Maxwell Communications), I discovered some four hundred pages containing hundreds of Mary’s predictions. This modern prophet of Catholicism speaks in her apparitions of end-time events as mentioned in the scripture – especially that of Revelation, in which she often uses words or similar expressions that are given by Ellen White when discussing these end-time prophecies.

I will now give you a partial list of these words and phrases used in Mary’s apparitions. I will not take time to give the page references but you can obtain the book and see for yourself. As I give these worded descriptions, you will note how Satan, through Mary’s voice, follows the expressions of Ellen White – that is, of course, if you are a student of the Spirit of Prophecy.

In Mary’s apparitions she discusses and explains the following: The Three Angels’ Messages – word for word; that Rome is to become the seat of the Antichrist; that the United States is to suffer defeat and national ruin. She often expresses a shortness of time; she mentions coming great famines and earthquakes. She tells of seeing tall buildings in New York falling down. (May I add here that this prediction was given nine years before September 11, 2001. Are you amazed? – So am I).

I continue: She tells of martyrs in the last days and of personal appearances of apostles such as Peter and Paul who will convince men of the truth. She also mentions that almost none will be ready for Christ’s Second Coming, and of Satan bringing fire down from heaven, and that God’s true church will be horribly persecuted. Mary tells of great miracles that will take place, of supernatural signs that cannot be explained by science, and signs in the sun, moon and stars that will be seen, and that there will also be a second Pentecost of divine power just before Jesus comes. Are you startled? – So am I.

Let me continue: Message after message stresses the need for conversion, victorious living, repentance, prayer and holiness. She speaks of the final battle between God and Satan that will be fought to the finish and that the Antichrist will be defeated. She speaks of so little time left to prepare for the final judgment and that we must keep all the commandments. Are you overwhelmed? – So am I. But there is much, much more. She speaks of the dragon, the beast with the ten horns, and the beast like a lamb and of the 666 – even of Satan appearing as Christ. She discusses the seal of God in the forehead and of the man with the writer’s inkhorn in his hand found in Ezekiel the ninth chapter; and of angels of heaven who will tell God’s chosen people what to do and that the angels will feed them. Do I hear you say, “This is unbelievable!” Well, I felt the same, but having read these things with my own eyes – it is absolutely true.

Now tell me, why would Satan speak through Mary of such end-time truths? – Because he intends to mislead Seventh-day Adventists by proving that the papacy is God’s true church and has a prophet with divine guidance to prove it. And what is more startling, Mary has stated that she is planning on coming into your home to prove that she is the true prophet. Satan knows the scriptures more than any person on earth. I wouldn’t be surprised if he could quote God’s Word from Genesis to Revelation. He is planning, one of these days, to personally face us with these false interpretations which he has given through Mary concerning end-time prophecies, to disprove what God’s prophet wrote as the correct meaning. I beg you, take note. We will never, never be able to resist these evil interpretations of spiritualism unless we are filled with the Holy Spirit and know what God has spoken in His Word and substantiated by the divine light in the Spirit of Prophecy.

It may come as a big surprise to some of you, as it did to me, to learn that God has warned us that in the end-time crisis Satan will bring his teachings of spiritualism into our own Seventh-day Adventist Church. In Manuscript Releases , Volume 7, p. 188 I read, “The time has come when even in the church and in our institutions, some will depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of devils.” At times I have been astonished to see and to learn of those who I thought were faithful members who have now left the faith. We have a tendency to shrug this off with the words, “This is the shaking time,” but have we ever questioned what is the actual cause of so many departing from God’s church? Inspiration tells us that it is the work of spiritualism.

Now I hear you ask: “ How can spiritualism accomplish such results within God’s church?” In Testimonies to Ministers p.112 she reveals the shaking will commence with the introduction of false theories into the church. Somehow most of us have over looked the fact that the devil has changed his methods from that of holding intercourse with evil spirits, which are condemned by the scriptures, to what now appears to be open acceptance of Jesus and His teachings. I quote, “It is true that spiritualism is now changing its form and, veiling some of its more objectionable features, is assuming a Christian guise. Even in its present form, so far from being more worthy of toleration than formerly, it is really more dangerous, because a more subtle, deception. While it formerly denounced Christ and the Bible, it now professes to accept both. But the Bible is interpreted in a manner that is pleasing to the unrenewed heart, while its solemn and vital truths are made of no effect. Love is dwelt upon as the chief attribute of God, but it is degraded to a weak sentimentalism, making little distinction between good and evil. God’s justice, His denunciations of sin, the requirements of His holy law, are all kept out of sight. The people are taught to regard the Decalogue as a dead letter. Pleasing, bewitching fables captivate the senses and lead men to reject the Bible as the foundation of their faith. Christ is as verily denied as before; but Satan has so blinded the eyes of the people that the deception is not discerned. There are few who have any conception of the deceptive power of spiritualism and the danger of coming under its influence.” Great Controversy p. 557, 558.

In many of our churches “love preaching” is the usual weekly diet fed to the members month after month. I receive many letters telling of this and stating that the law of God is seldom, if ever, mentioned. Having been an evangelist for many years I discovered it is absolutely impossible to have a sound conversion of anyone without preaching God’s law which leads to conviction and repentance. You may be surprised that it was one of God’s faithful leaders who pointed out to me that this “love preaching” without the law was of spiritualism.

As I pondered this truth I began to realize that Satan is using spiritualism today by entering our homes and urging us to become curious about some “new light” that we receive in the mail. Numerous pamphlets, papers, sheets of mimeograph, even books arrive in my home each week all intended to question my belief – hoping that I will think I have been following a false doctrine. Let me tell you something, I never read such material and quickly throw it into the garbage where it belongs, for God has counseled us, “Listen not a moment to the interpretations that would loosen one pin, remove one pillar, from the platform of truth. Human interpretations, the reception of fables, will spoil your faith, confuse your understanding, and make of none effect your faith in Jesus Christ. Study diligently the third chapter of Revelation. In it is pointed out the danger of losing your hold upon the things that you have heard and learned from the Source of all light.” Manuscript Release, Volume 1, p. 54, 55.

In a recent book by Colin and Russell Standish entitled Spiritism in the Seventh-day Adventist Church I would like to quote from page 28. “Our church is now experiencing an embolden attack upon the pillars of our faith, even by some men in high positions. Some are claiming that the sanctuary message and the investigative judgment are figments of the imagination of Sister White, that 1844 is a myth, that there is no actual sanctuary in heaven, and that Christ began the High Priestly ministry in AD 41. These amazing denials of Seventh-day Adventism all point to the fact that spiritism has dramatically eroded the church.”

In Christian Leadership p. 62 Ellen White tells us, “When men standing in the position of leaders and teachers work under the power of spiritualistic ideas and sophistries, shall we keep silent, for fear of injuring their influence, while souls are being beguiled?” This is the reason why I could no longer preach in the churches of the Oregon Conference. I was doing my best to defend our believers from the inroads of spiritism but I learned that many of our administrators find it more important to uphold false pastors and leaders than the salvation of God’s flock who are being led astray.

Let me read again from the book written by the Standish brothers on p. 29. “No matter how insignificant we may feel ourselves to be, no matter how ineffective may be our protest, God is calling on us today to do what we can to warn our fellow church members against the beguiling influence of Satan in the church. If men, claiming to be pastors, teachers and ministers of the gospel, are teaching damnable heresies, there is a solemn obligation to meet them, oppose them, and warn the flock against them. High office does not give men the right to brandish their satanic sophistries before the people. It is a false concept of loyalty that is all too common that leads men and women to remain silent in such a time of spiritual crisis.”

Inspiration reveals with unmistakable clarity, “Modern spiritualism is but a revival in a new form of the witchcraft and demon worship that God condemned and prohibited of old. It is foretold in the scriptures which declare that ‘in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of devils.’

“Paul in his second letter to the Thessalonians points to the special working of Satan in spiritualism as an event to take place immediately before the second advent of Christ. Speaking of Christ’s Second Coming he declares that it is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders. And Peter describes the dangers to which the church was to be exposed in the last days says that as there were false prophets who led Israel into sin, so there will be false teachers, ‘who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them…and many shall follow their pernicious ways.’ 2 Peter 2:1,2. Here the apostle has pointed out one of the marked characteristics of spiritualistic teachers.” Patriarchs and Prophets p. 686.

Did you notice from this quotation that those who are bringing such heresies into the church Ellen White speaks of them as spiritualistic teachers? How few among us – and I include myself, who somehow never envisioned this amazing fact – realize that those who teach spurious philosophies and doctrines are agents of spiritualism. Listen, “The line of distinction between professed Christians and the ungodly is now hardly distinguishable. Church members love what the world loves and are ready to join with them, and Satan determines to unite them in one body and thus strengthen his cause by sweeping all into the ranks of spiritualism. Papists, who boast of miracles as a certain sign of the true church, will be readily deceived by this wonder-working power; and Protestants, having cast away their shield of truth, will also be deluded. Papists, Protestants, and worldlings will alike accept the form of godliness without the power, and they will see in this union a grand movement for the conversion of the world and the ushering in of the long-expected millennium.” Great Controversy p. 588, 589.

There is an abundance of evidence that this ecumenical movement of today is causing many to sin like the children of Israel. This Ecumenical movement is determined that we become like the churches of Babylon. From every corner of the globe I hear that it is being preached that we can sin until Jesus comes. This is none other than the doctrine of spiritualism, which is deceiving the majority of our churches. Everyone who accepts the false teaching that Christians can sin until Jesus comes has accepted the lie of spiritualism which Satan presented to Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden.

And what’s so amazing, it is not uncommon today to hear people who believe that Christ had the power to keep His people from sinning being told that they are legalists. Let me tell you that the Bible leaves no doubt as to this divine power of God. In Jude 24 I read, “Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy.” “Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.” Revelation 14:12.

“Satan is striving to gain every advantage. He desires to secure, not only students, but teachers. He has his plans laid. Disguised as an angel of light he will walk the earth as a wonder-worker. In beautiful language he will present lofty sentiments. Good words will be spoken by him, and good deeds preformed. Christ will be personified, but (and keep this in mind) on one point there will be a marked distinction. Satan will turn the people from the law of God. Notwithstanding this, so well will he counterfeit righteousness, that if it were possible, he would deceive the very elect.” Fundamentals of Christian Education p. 471, 472.

Believe me, spiritualism would become the most mighty, convincing power ever devised by the devil to captivate the whole world and force all to worship Satan as the god of this earth. Let us focus our thoughts once more on Revelation 13:13, 14. “And He doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.”

Keep in mind that the devil has never forgotten the contest that he once lost with the Eternal God in the days of Elijah the prophet. Satan utterly lost the battle when God brought fire down out of a clear and cloudless sky in answer to Elijah’s prayer to reveal who is the actual God and Owner of the earth, exposing every false claim of Baal worship. This divine manifestation is recorded in the book of 1 Kings of the Old Testament and described with added detail in Prophets and Kings chapters ten and eleven in which the following battle between God and Satan is revealed by divine interpretation.

Apostasy had become so universal in the days of Ahab, king of Israel, that Elijah thought himself to be the only one left who had not participated in pagan sun worship. Yet we are told that God had a faithful remnant of seven thousand who had not bowed their knee to Baal. The apostasy prevailing in Ahab’s day was the result of many years of evil doing. Step by step, year after year, Israel had been departing from the right way. For generation after generation they had refused to make straight paths for their feet and at last the majority of the people had yielded themselves to the leadership of the power of darkness.

This is why God visited His people with severe judgments. The predictions of Elijah were meeting with terrible fulfillment for he had declared, “As the Lord God of Israel liveth, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my word.” 1 Kings 17:1. For three years there had been neither dew nor rain. Mount Carmel was chosen by God for this final contest. This mountain had been a place of beauty, clothed with groves of beautiful trees and never-ending springs, with meadows filled with exquisite flowers – but now all this was under a withering curse.

The elders of Baal and Ashteroth stood under leafless, dead trees and there remained one broken-down altar of Jehovah. It was at this place that Elijah commanded King Ahab to bring all Israel, together with his army and 450 prophets of Baal. In anxious expectation the people wait for Elijah to speak. Looking first upon the broken-down altar of Jehovah and then upon the multitude Elijah cries out in clear, trumpet-line tones, “How long halt ye between two opinions? If the Lord be God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him. And the people answered him not a word.” 1 Kings 18:21.

While Israel on Carmel was filled with doubt and hesitation, the voice of Elijah again breaks the silence. “I, even I only, remain a prophet of the Lord; but Baal’s prophets are four hundred and fifty men. Let them therefore give us two bullocks; and let them choose one bullock for themselves, and cut it in pieces, and lay it on wood, and put no fire under: and I will dress the other bullock, and lay it on wood, and put no fire under: And call ye on the name of your gods, and I will call on the name of the Lord: and the God that answereth by fire, let him be God.” 1 Kings 18:22 – 24. The proposal of Elijah is so reasonable that the people cannot well abate it so they find courage to answer, “It is well spoken.”

Outwardly bold and defiant, but with terror in their guilty hearts, the false priests prepare their altar, laying on the wood and the victim and then they begin their incantations. Their shrill cries echo and re-echo through the forest and the surrounding heights as they call on the name of their god saying, “O Baal, hear us.” The priests gather about their altar and with leaping and writhing and screaming, with tearing of their hair and cutting of the flesh, they beseech their god to help them. The morning passes, noon comes, and yet there is no evidence that Baal hears the cries of his deluded followers. There is no voice, no reply to their frantic prayers. The sacrifice remains unconsumed.

Finally the time of the evening sacrifice arrives and Elijah calls for the people to come near. They watch as he repairs the broken altar of the Lord. He digs the trench that is to be filled with sixteen barrels of water. Then, bowing reverently before the unseen God, he offers a simple prayer, “Lord God of Abraham, Isaac, and of Israel, let it be know this day that thou art God in Israel, and that I am thy servant, and that I have done all these things at thy word. Here me, O Lord, hear me, that this people may know that thou art the Lord God, and that thou hast turned their hearts back again.”

No sooner is the prayer of Elijah ended than flames of fire, like brilliant flashes of lightning, descend from heaven upon the upreared altar consuming the sacrifice, licking up the water in the trench, and consuming even the stones of the altar. The brilliancy of the blaze illuminates the mountain and dazzles the eyes of the multitude. The people on the mount prostrate themselves in awe before the unseen God. They dare not continue to look upon the heaven-sent fire for they fear that they themselves will be consumed. They cry out with one voice, “The Lord, he is the God; the Lord, he is the God.” 1 Kings 18:39. Thus a remarkable decision was reached. The prophets of Baal are now put to death. Satan has been defeated.

The devil has never forgotten this fire from heaven, which awakened and changed the minds of all Israel to acknowledge and obey God. Ever since that day Satan has been studying the elements of nature. He has been putting into practice his knowledge with ever-increasing power. He now awaits the moment when he, not God, will bring fire down from heaven to deceive all that he is god of this world and he will demand that all Seventh-day Adventists be destroyed.

How can Satan do this? In this end-time, just like it was in the days of Elijah, God has a small remnant in number who will publicly challenge Satan’s attempt to control this world. They will fearlessly preach the Three Angels’ Messages of warning and reveal to the world the falsehoods of papal teachings. With mighty conviction born of the Holy Spirit’s latter rain a large number will take their place with God’s people. Praise the Lord!

As this battle develops Satan will succeed in causing all religions of the world to join in his Ecumenical movement to unite against God’s commandment-keeping people who are the only obstacle to his kingship of this world. The devil now decides to appear as Christ who has promised to return the second time. And no marvel, for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. (2 Corinthians 11:14). He bears the appearance of Christ in every particular. (Testimonies for the Church, Volume 5, p. 698).

And in Great Controversy p. 624, 625 we read, “Satan himself will personate Christ….In different parts of the earth, Satan will manifest himself among men as a majestic being of dazzling brightness, resembling the description of the Son of God given by John in the Revelation. Revelation 1:13-15. The glory that surrounds him is unsurpassed by anything that mortal eyes have ever beheld. The shout of triumph rings out upon the air: ‘Christ has come.’…He heals the diseases of the people….He claims to have changed the Sabbath to Sunday, and commands all to hallow the day he has blessed. He declares that those who persist in keeping holy the seventh day are blaspheming his name by refusing to listen to his angels sent to them with light and truth.” And as proof, Satan now commands fire to come down from heaven so all may believe that he has the power of divinity.

As in the day of Elijah, by calling down fire from heaven, he will command the people to accept the papal mark of authority, the mark of the beast, or be killed. Make no mistake, this fire is real. In Great Controversy p. 553 we read, “Men are deceived by miracles which Satan’s agents have power to do, not what they pretend to do.” This devilish fire will be a consuming fire, destroying whatever Satan chooses to destroy. The blaze of this fire will illuminate the earth for miles around. It will so dazzle the multitude surrounding the devil that the people will prostrate themselves before him proclaiming that the devil is God. With fear and trembling, the people are afraid that the fire will consume them also. Now, fully deceived by the miracle, they are ready to destroy the people of God who disbelieve. But praise the Lord, God will protect His faithful.

I ask you: Will you stand faithful? – Only if you have learned now, today, to live by faith. And this kind of faith comes only by much prayer and total obedience to God’s every command; trusting that God will save you because you have totally surrendered yourself to God. Only then, will you pass the final test for, “the just shall live by faith.”

A ROMAN MIRACLE


A ROMAN MIRACLE

A pretty maid, a Protestant, was to a Catholic wed;
To love all Bible truths and tales, quite early she's been bred.
It sorely grieved her husband's heart that she would not comply,
And join the Mother Church of Rome and heretics deny.

So day by day he flattered her, but still she saw no good
Would ever come from bowing down to idols made of wood.
The Mass, the host, the miracles, were made but to deceive;
And transubstantiation, too, she'd never dare believe.

He went to see his clergyman and told him his sad tale.
"My wife is an unbeliever, sir; you can perhaps prevail.
For all your Romish miracles my wife has strong aversion,
To really work a miracle may lead to her conversion."

The priest went with the gentleman--he thought to gain a prize.
He said, " I will convert her, sir, and open both her eyes."
So when they came into the house, the husband loudly cried,
"This priest has come to dine with us!" "He's welcome," she replied.

And when, at last, the meal was o'er, the priest at once began
To teach his hostess all about the sinful state of man;
The greatness of our Savior's love, which Christians can't deny,
To give Himself a sacrifice and for our sins to die.

"I will return tomorrow, las, prepare some bread and wine;
The sacramental miracle will stop your soul's decline."
"I'll bake the breaed," the lady said, "You may," he did reply,
"And when you've seen this maracle, convinced you'll be, say I."

The priest did come accordingly, the bread and wine did bless,
The lady asked, "Sir, is it changed?" The priest answered, "Yes.
It's changed from common bread and wine to truly flesh and blood;
Begorra, lass, this power of mine has changed it into God!

So having blessed the bread and wine, to eat they did prepare.
The lady said unto the priest, "I want you to take care,
For half an ounce of arsenic was mixed right in the batter,
But since you have its nature changed, it cannot really matter."

The priest was struck real dumb--he looked as pale as death.
The bread and wine fell from his hands and he did gasp for breath.
"Bring me my horse!" the priest cried, "This is a cursed home!"
The lady replied, "Begone; tis you who shares the curse of Rome."

The husband, too, he sat surprised, and not a word did say.
At length he spoke, "My dear," said he, "the priest has run away;
To gulp such mummery and tripe, I'm not for sure, quite able;
I'll go with you and we'll renounce this Roman Catholic fable."
