Come unto Me

Prophecy: The antichrist power was to receive a deadly wound after his 1260 - year reign. However, this deadly wound will be healed, and the entire world will wonder at him (Revelation 13:3; Revelation 17:8). Fulfilment: After her terrible reign of 1260 years, the Papal power received a deadly wound. In 1798, the French general; Alexander Berthier, under the command of Napoleon, marched his armies into Rome and pulled the pope off his throne. Berthier brought the pope to France as a captive. All the properties of the church were confiscated, and the French directory government decreed that there would never be another bishop of Rome. From the book Church History, p. 24, we read: "The enemies of the church rejoiced. The last Pope, they declared had resigned." In fact, as far as the world was concerned, and by all outward appearances, the Catholic Church was dead. "But careful students of Bible prophecy knew that this fatal blow was not the end of the Catholic Church; for the prophecy predicted that his deadly wound will be healed and that the entire world will come to wonder at him (Revelation 13:3). In early 1929, the Papal power began a journey that was to heal the sore wound that she received from France in 1798. On February 11 1929, Cardinal Gasparri (representing pope Pius XI) and Benito Mussolini (representing king Victor Emmanuel III of Italy) signed the Lateran Treaty which gave the Papacy absolute and sole jurisdiction over the Vatican State. From the San Francisco Chronicle, February 11, 1929 we read: "The Roman question tonight was a thing of the past and the Vatican was at peace with Italy ... In affixing the autographs to the memorable document healing the wound ... extreme cordiality was displayed on both sides." On the next day, that is, February 12 1929, the same paper came out with the headlines: "Mussolini and Gasparri Sign Historic Roman Pact … Healed Wound of Many Years". it is interesting to discover how the editors of the San Francisco article utilized almost the same wording from Revelation 13:3 to describe this important Bible prophecy event. After this memorable event in 1929, the Papal power has risen to world influence and recognition at a speed that has surprised many. The Bible clearly predicted that his deadly wound will be healed and all the world will wonder after him. We are living at a time in the history of our world where this prophecy is being fulfilled right before our eyes. Today, almost the entire human race is wondering at the power and prestige of the Catholic system. The pontiff of the Roman Catholic Church is revered not just by almost all religious entities, but political leaders as well. No human being, how high his office, will be able to compete with the pomp, display and preparations that go into welcoming the bishop of Rome into any country of the world today. The sore wound of the Catholic Church is forever healed; and she is just bidding her time for the right opportunity to assume total control of the world.

Prophecy: The antichrist power was to reign for a thousand two hundred and sixty years (Daniel 7:25; Revelation 13:5). Fulfilment: History records that the papacy rose to power after Emperor Justinian’s decree in 538 A. D. From 538 A. D., the Papal power reigned over the world until 1798; an exact period of 1260 years.

The English word 'canon' is derived from the Greek word 'kanon' which basically mean "a rule or standard for testing straightness"*. The canon of Hebrew Scriptures describes the set of the sacred books which the Jews accepted as authoritative Scripture. In regard to the work of assembling the authoritative Scriptures of the Jews, God had prepared the hearts of men such as Ezra and Nehemiah. Concerning Ezra, the priest and scribe, the Scriptures testify: "For Ezra had prepared his heart to seek the law of the LORD, and to do it, and to teach in Israel statutes and judgments" (Ezra 7:10). Jewish history makes it clear that it was during the time of Ezra and Nehemiah that the sacred writings of the people of Israel were assembled, and placed into a unit. In fact, when the Messiah walked among the Jews, the people were unanimously united in the writings that formed the Holy Scriptures; for Christ could affirm the authenticity of the Scriptures through the words: "that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me" (Luke 24:44). Even though the people of Israel were earlier united on the writings that formed the Scriptures, it was not until AD 90, at the council of Jamnia, that the Jews took a more formal approach to acknowledge and unite on the writings that they regarded as authoritative Scriptures. In the compilation of this Jewish canon of sacred Scriptures, there are some writings which are mentioned in the Old Testament [such as The Book of the wars of the Lord (Numbers 21:14, 15); The Book of Jasher or the Upright One (Joshua 10:13); the records of Nathan the prophet and the records of Gad the seer (1 Chronicles 29:29); the records of Shemaiah the prophet (2 Chronicles 12:15); the annals of the kings of Israel (1 Kings 14:19); the annals of Jehu (2 Chronicles 20:34) etc.], yet were not included in the canon. Moreover, the Old Testament Apocrypha comprising of various books which were written during the inter-testamental period were also excluded from the Jewish canon. Through the guidance of the Holy Spirit, the leaders of the Jews were able to select the sacred writings that were to constitute the Holy Scriptures for the people of God in succeeding generations. Unlike the Old Testament, several of the writings of the New Testament gained immediate acceptance with the disciples of Christ. These writings include the Gospels, Acts and Paul's letters (see Colossians 4:16). The general epistles and the book of Revelation however took a much longer time to be accepted into the body of inspired New Testament writings. As the Christian faith grew and expanded to diverse regions, the church was harassed with several uninspired gospels and writings (commonly referred to as pseudepigrapha). As this negative development began to plague the early Christian church, it became necessary for the leadership of the church to assemble together the body of truly inspired New Testament writings. Through the first four centuries after Christ, the Holy Spirit moved upon faithful men in the church to begin to distinguish, and set aside the inspired books of the New Testament from those that were not inspired. The men who worked on the New Testament canon utilised the criteria below to separate the inspired writings from those which were not inspired: a) Was the writer one of the apostles of Christ? b) Was the writer a companion of an apostle? c) Was the book internally consistent? d) Did the content of the book harmonise with other Scriptures? e) Did the book conform to expected Christian experience? Through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, these men assembled together the 27 books that form the New Testament of our current Scripture. The Lord led them to see through the various writings which were written without the stamp of the Holy Spirit, and thus removed them from the canon of the New Testament Scriptures.

Prophecy: The antichrist power is clothed in purple and scarlet colour (Revelation 17:4). Fulfilment: The two major official colours of the Roman Catholic system are actually purple and scarlet. Biblically, purple denotes riches or royalty (Luke 16:19; Judges 8:26), while scarlet is a symbol of sin (Isaiah 1:18). As we noted in the immediate point below, this apostate religious system is extremely wealthy; and adorns herself in royal apparel. Moreover, since she is a fallen church, the colour of scarlet which denotes sin, is also a fitting symbol of her. In addition to the fact that the biblical meanings of purple and scarlet are fitting symbols of the Papacy, it might interest you to know that the two major official colours of the Roman Catholic system are actually purple and scarlet. The top hierarchy of the Catholic Church, that is her Bishops and Cardinals, actually make use of these colours as their official wear. The bishops wear purple while the cardinals wear scarlet. This practice of the church dates back to the first millennium. Friends, I don't think this is just a coincidence but rather a clear message from God, regarding the identity of the true antichrist power. This knowledge, as we are gaining today, is what I believe will save us from the great deception that has broken upon the whole world.

Prophecy: The antichrist power is decked with gold and precious stones and pearls. In other words, this power is an extremely rich organization (Revelation 17:4). Fulfilment: Unlike the humble Carpenter of Nazareth, this apostate woman is extremely wealthy; and is decked with gold and precious stones and pearls. The Roman Catholic system is one of the richest organizations in the world. The Catholic system actually controls the highest percentage of the cash that flows across the world. Concerning investments in trusts and properties such as banks and other corporate businesses, sports, schools, hospitals, and other institutions, the Catholic system comes second to none.

Revelation 13:17 describes: “no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark…” For the FIRST TIME in world history, digital technology is making this literally possible. SDG 16.9 states : "Legal Identity for All'. This initiative sounds harmless, but it requires 5 key things: 1. Biometric ID 2. Universal digital identity 3. Integration into financial systems 4. Connection with digital public infrastructure (DPI) 5. International recognition The UN states openly that SDG 16.9 is meant to link identity, financial access, and service access. CBDCs (Central Bank Digital Currencies) already in development in Countries like EU, US(pilot projects), China, India, Nigeria, Kenya, UK, Canada and Most of the G20 nations. CBDCs are programmable money which can be suspended, restricted, frozen, time-limited, linked to social behaviors, linked to identity verification and controlled by government policy. CBDC + Digital ID = total economic control. This is the exact technological framework needed for: “no man might buy or sell.” The Papacy does not need to create the technology. It only needs to provide the moral justification for using it. This is how she worked in the Middle Ages: the church gave the moral command, the state enforced it. Revelation 13 repeats the pattern: the Sea Beast (Papacy) gives religious authority, the Land Beast (United States of America) enforces it economically. The UN infrastructure creates global enforcement, global compliance systems, global financial controls. But it needs a unifying moral command for enforcement. That’s where the Papacy’s global moral authority comes in. The Papacy has already framed climate rest, Sunday sacredness, global solidarity, religious alignment as moral issues. Thus: UN = the global enforcement body Papacy (Sea beast) = the global moral command Digital ID + CBDCs = the global enforcement mechanism backed by US (Land beast) economic control Apostate Protestantism (Image of the beast) = the needed global religious support This is Revelation 13’s end-time union. The perfect prophecy fulfilment. For the first time in world history a religious power has diplomatic rights, international legal standing, global moral influence, a voice in politics, a leadership role in climate policy. For the first time the world is building global identity, global currency infrastructure, global surveillance DPI, global compliance standards. For the first time, the Papacy is recognized as the moral compass for the nations, the architect of global ethical policy, the leader of religious unity, the champion of “rest” and “solidarity.” This is the HEALING of the DEADLY WOUND. This is the image of the beast forming. This is the global system Revelation 13 foresaw. Once digital identity is required for access; CBDCs replace cash, climate rest / Sunday rest becomes a moral mandate then global unity is demanded for the sake of peace and sustainability. National sovereignty becomes secondary to international agreements. You get economic pressure which leads to religious compliance and enforced worship then the Mark of the Beast. The Mark will not be merely a chip or technology. It is a system of enforced false Sun-day worship using technology as the leash. The UN builds the infrastructure. The Papacy provides the moral justification. Apostate Protestantism provides religious support. The US government enforce it through economic controls. The machinery to enforce the Mark of the beast already exists for the first time in history. The prophetic logic is simple: If government can monitor behavior + enforce moral rules + punish economic non-compliance, it can enforce religious observance. This is how Revelation 13 unfolds spiritually, economically and politically. Get ready!

Prophecy: The little horn power will think to change God's times and laws (Daniel 7:25). Fulfilment: Many Christians have been deceived to believe that it was Christ or His apostles that actually changed the law of God. However, as Daniel 7:25 clearly states, it is the antichrist power which attempted to do this. The Roman Catholic Church has made it very clear to the entire world that it wasn't Christ or His apostles that changed God's law, but rather, they did. In fact, they believe they have the right to dispense with all things, including even the precepts of Christ. In the book titled Decretal De Translat Episcop. Cap., we read: "The pope has power to change times, to abrogate laws, and to dispense with all things, even the precepts of Christ." Friends, this is a serious statement. But true to their words, the Church of Rome has actually tampered with God's Ten Commandments. In fact, the Catholic Church has removed the second commandment from her doctrinal books and catechism, because it condemns the worship of images. If you are familiar with Catholic temples and worship services, you will understand why the power structure of the church thought it wise to do away with the second commandment in the law of God. You will realize that in various Catholic churches and worship centres across the world are actually numerous images and relics. It is an established fact that members of the Catholic Church are encouraged to pray to, and bow down in worship to these still images against the clear commandment of God in the Decalogue. Moreover, the Catholic Church has also attempted to change God's times. The only commandment in the Decalogue that relates to time is the fourth commandment, which concerns the Sabbath. The Papacy has boldly proclaimed to the entire world that it was her act that changed the Sabbath time from Saturday to Sunday, and not from any authority of Scripture. From the book, A Doctrinal Catechism by Stephen Keenan, p. 174, we read:  "Question: Have you any other way of proving the Church has power to institute festivals of precept? Answer: Had she not such power, she could not have done that in which all modern religionists agree with her, she could not have substituted the observance of Sunday, the first day of the week, for the observance of Saturday, the seventh day, a change for which there is no Scriptural authority." Moreover, in the Catholic Encyclopedia, volume 4, page 153, we read:  "the church... after changing the day of rest from the Jewish Sabbath, or seventh day of the week, to the first, made the third commandment to refer to Sunday as the day to be kept holy as the Lord's day." Because the Catholic Church removed the second commandment restricting the worship of images, they were left with just nine of the commandments. To solve this impasse, they actually moved each of the subsequent commandments one step forward, making the third commandment to become the second commandment, the fourth commandment to become the third commandment in that order. Now having done this, they then divided the tenth commandment concerning covetousness into two parts, so that they will still have ten distinct commandments intact. It is sad to realize that there are many Catholics who are not aware of this obvious change. This information I’m sharing with you is not something that is secret. Just get an official Roman Catholic Catechism, and you can quickly verify this fact for yourself.

Prophecy: The antichrist power is an apostate religious system. The Bible refers to this power as a whore or prostitute (Revelation 17:1). In the Bible, God often uses the analogy of a pure woman to depict the relationship He has with His people (Jeremiah 6:2, 2 Corinthians 11:2; Ephesians 5:31-32). However, when the people of God are unfaithful to Him, he refers to them as a whore (Hosea 1:2; Hosea 4:12; Hosea 5:3-4). Fulfilment: The antichrist power, as the Scripture describes here, was actually a religious system that was once faithful to the principles of God. However, with the passage of time, she gradually forsook these godly principles until she became corrupted and worldly. Historically, the Catholic Church in a gradual manner became corrupt and worldly. This church did not only leave the true principles of Christ, but rather substituted these principles with pagan traditions and philosophies of men. Some of the unbiblical doctrines of the Catholic church include: immortality of the soul, praying to the dead, purgatory, limbo and eternal torment; Sunday sacredness instead of the Bible Sabbath; baptism of infants instead of baptizing believing teachable adults and baptism through sprinkling instead of immersion; penance instead of the merits of Christ; tradition placed above the Bible; sale of indulgences (money for salvation); holy water, the mass, transubstantiation (Change of the Lord’s supper bread to Jesus); worship of images, relics, cross etc.; immaculate conception (Mary proclaimed sinless) and Mary worship; rosary beads, the tonsure, the mitre, the confessional, pontiff etcetera. It was due to these unbiblical teachings of the Roman Catholic Church that sparked the reformation in the sixteen hundreds. Godly men such as John Wycliffe, Martin Luther, Tyndale, Huss, Jerome, John Smith, John Calvin and many others stood against the unbiblical teachings of Catholicism.
