Revelation 2

Christ is the rhetorician by chapter one's description.

Listed, in this chapter, are only four of the seven churches [n geographical order for significant reasons]

 

1: UNTO THE ANGEL OF THE CHURCH OF EPHESUS WRITE; THESE THINGS SAITH HE THAT HOLDETH THE SEVEN STARS IN HIS RIGHT HAND, WHO WALKETH IN THE MIDST OF THE SEVEN GOLDEN CANDLESTICKS;

Ephesus 'Permitted' or 'the way in'.

Each church represents an epoch without the Roman overtones of the four horses of chapter six, which also runs progressive to this era. 

The first 130 years of this new movement will form the Christian Empire.

 

2: I KNOW THY WORKS, & THY LABOUR, & THY PATIENCE, & HOW THOU CANST NOT BEAR THEM WHICH ARE EVIL: & THOU HAST TRIED THEM WHICH SAY THEY ARE APOSTLES, & ARE NOT, & HAST FOUND THEM LIARS:

He woes others who are  into this New Movement of Jews. Scribes are condemned by Christ before His times, during His time, & in Revelations, after His times.  CHRIST THE JEW SUPPOSEDLY WOES THE SYNAGOGUE OF HIS DAY - Matt. 23:13 - BUT WOE UNTO YOU, SCRIBES & PHARISEES, HYPOCRITES! FOR YE SHUT UP THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN AGAINST MEN: FOR YE NEITHER GO IN YOURSELVES, NEITHER SUFFER YE THEM THAT ARE ENTERING TO GO IN - [AS DID MOHAMMED TOWARDS BOTH JUDAISM & THE PAPACY]. IF GOD WANTED A NEW RELIGION IT IS OBVIOUS IT WOULD HAVE BEEN DONE WITHOUT REFERENCES TO THE OLD TESTAMENT

There are false apostles?  This is the first era, the pure beginning, & yet a warning is issued on imitation apostles' entering the new movement

Who is, or are, the false apostles? 

Paul, the writer of over half of what would one day be the New Testament, according to many experts in theology - conflicted often with Christ's disciples, especially Peter & James. John had little to do with him.

Paul, the writer of over half of what would one day be the New Testament,

according to many experts in theology Paul conflicted often with Christ's disciples, especially Peter & James. John had little to do with him.

Paul was a very educated & powerful individual amongst many illiterates.

Paul was Roman, at least by environment & behavior, plus a natural link to join the Christians & Romans in an eventual common hatred towards the Jews.

The Book of Acts shows Jews entering this new movement in great numbers - not yet named Christianity - & then suddenly they stopped.

Paul did much preaching to the Gentiles, trying to gain converts - in doing so, did he modify the doctrines to maneuver Gentile entry; the Roman's, through his penmanship, were basically exonerated of the crucifixion; the Jews were totally blamed for the death of Christ.

something changed big time to suddenly end the Jews' interest in this new Jewish movement. 

 

3: & HAST BORNE, & HAST PATIENCE, & FOR MY NAME'S SAKE HAST LABOURED, & HAST NOT FAINTED. 4: NEVERTHELESS I HAVE SOMEWHAT AGAINST THEE, BECAUSE THOU HAST LEFT THY FIRST LOVE.

Obviously He is talking about the early Christian murders of His followers who would not be swayed from their convictions of Christ's teachings

The first love is devotion to God.

 

5: REMEMBER THEREFORE FROM WHENCE THOU ART FALLEN, & REPENT, & DO THE FIRST WORKS; OR ELSE I WILL COME UNTO THEE QUICKLY, & WILL REMOVE THY CANDLESTICK OUT OF HIS PLACE, EXCEPT THOU REPENT

We are to identify why we are on earth in the first place [verse 5] - weigh the faults we are conceived into & 'overcome' them.

We left Heaven - John 3:13 & NO MAN HATH ASCENDED UP TO HEAVEN, BUT THAT HE CAME DOWN FROM HEAVEN, EVEN THE SON OF MAN WHICH IS IN HEAVEN - contrary to what is being taught; Rev. 3:12 - HE SHALL GO NO MORE OUT  in other words, there are souls from the Earth residing in Heaven at the same time there are souls upon the Earth -

- one must learn why one might be born into an alcoholic family, or to a weak or a strong parent [perhaps learning the ways of that parent, the habits & faults]. Understanding must replace hate - unavoidable circumstances [favorable or not] are Divinity's means for developing the soul - one must learn to accept & then question the reason why & utilized the info

Plenty of passages in O & N Testament indicate a long time belief in reincarnation.

Scribes' errors [deletions & additions] are not uncommon. Christ WOES the scripture's caretakers before & after His days. An example is Malachi 4:5 - whereas the Papacy deleted this verse from most, if not all, Catholic Bibles. It is instruction that Elijah/Elias is to be born again before the coming of the Lord - behold I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great & dreadful day of the lord: Matt 17:10 - 13 his disciples asked him saying, why then say the scribes that Elias must first come? Christ reveals this character - then the disciples understood that he spake unto them of John the Baptist. Was John Elias reincarnated?

 

The following are a few of many verses that perhaps the scribes overlooked:

Christ's personally selected disciples accepted, as the norm, that one could trespass before birth. John 9:1 & 2 - as Jesus passed by, he saw A MAN WHICH WAS BLIND FROM HIS BIRTH. & his disciples asked him, saying, Master, WHO DID SIN, THIS MAN, or his parents, THAT HE WAS BORN BLIND? - by these words these hand-picked disciples already had believed in karma to some degree, or were taught that one could have lived & sinned before birth. [to have sinned & been born blind because of the sin, then the sin could only have happened in a pre-lifetime, which these wise men believed could have been the case] Although Christ states that this is not the reason, in this case, He does not tell them they are off-track.

Revelation 10:11, John must prophesy again; to do so John must be born again

How can John the Baptist be purer than a newborn, unless the baby had other pasts - as great an individual as John was on the Earth, he still has faults: Matthew 11:11 - verily I say unto you, among them that are born of women THERE HATH NOT RISEN A GREATER THAN JOHN THE BAPTIST: NOTWITHSTANDING HE THAT IS THE LEAST IN HEAVEN IS GREATER THAN HE

John 3:13 - AND NO MAN HATH ASCENDED UP TO HEAVEN, BUT THAT HE CAME DOWN FROM HEAVEN, EVEN THE SON OF MAN WHICH IS IN HEAVEN - WE BEGAN IN HEAVEN

Rev. 3:12 - HE SHALL GO NO MORE OUT - We start from Heaven & work our way back through life & rebirth till we do it right  - the dying young may have completed their journey

 

Matthew 5:18 - FOR VERILY I SAY UNTO YOU, TILL HEAVEN & EARTH PASS, ONE JOT OR ONE TITTLE SHALL IN NO WISE PASS THE LAW, TILL ALL BE FULFILLEDInteresting, we know that someday the Earth will die; but also interesting is that Christ states Heaven shall also pass [which does happen in this commentary].

The racists, the spouse abusers, the child molesters & other transgressors should understand - the next birth could very well be in the reverse positions - the directions of one's malice & injustices; the greedy may find that they will be born into the situation that they could have given support to; the racists could return into the body of their hatred

 

6: BUT THIS THOU HAST, THAT THOU HATEST THE DEEDS OF THE NICOLAITANES, WHICH I ALSO HATE

Christ asserts it is the deeds that He hates, not the people - so sad that most of the people today, especially those calling themselves Christians, can not act in this manner

These were people under a false prophet - Smith's Bible Dictionary, p. 447 gives an account of a sect, similar to that of Balaam [as described further in verses 14 & 15], who brought idol sacrificed food to the Christians feasts & were teaching Christians impure ways, orgies & idolatry

Lust & fornication are associated with weaknesses of the heart [usually not sexual]

 

7: HE THAT HATH AN EAR, LET HIM HEAR WHAT THE SPIRIT SAITH UNTO THE CHURCHES; TO HIM THAT OVERCOMETH WILL I GIVE TO EAT OF THE TREE OF LIFE, WHICH IS IN THE MIDST OF THE PARADISE OF GOD.

Genesis 3:22 ...BEHOLD, THE MAN IS BECOME AS ONE OF US, TO KNOW GOOD & EVIL; & NOW, LEST HE PUT FORTH HIS HAND, & TAKE ALSO OF THE TREE OF LIFE, & EAT, & LIVE FOREVER

Some might say that the Tree of Knowledge is symbolic of the Almighty - the Tree of Life, symbolic of the Son

- the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge is just that, fruit we have been eating from the beginning, general knowledge, utilizing & harnessing what is already in existence [E.G. a computer is a discovery found by placing other discoveries together & achieving such a final result - much as DNA is a discovery & is now being placed into a perspective to be utilized].

Why not destroy the Tree of Life, rather than hide it?

Surprising is that only the Tree of Life is now hidden & its fruit was once edible, not forbidden fruit. Eventually we can go to the Tree of Life, which is now hidden, or is it. Adam was supposedly going to die once he ate the forbidden fruit, but did not for a long time after - LOL

the fruit of the Tree of Life might be knowledge - birth, rebirth, & death, the continuous cycle from overcoming to going back home; the secret of the cosmos, the commonly sought after Mystery of Life & Death - DNA. Perhaps, joking of course, one will do a total recall on a past life whereas the DNA was known, & they will be identical.

 

8: & UNTO THE ANGEL OF THE CHURCH IN SMYRNA WRITE; THESE THINGS SAITH THE FIRST & THE LAST, WHICH WAS DEAD, & IS ALIVE;

SMYRNA 'bitter' or 'myrrh' enters Christianity - this period covers 130 AD to 325 - the span of the Red Horse of chapter six - just as chapters 1, 8, & 15 go together, in a sense - so do 2, 9, &16.

Around Christ's crucifixion the young Emperor Caligula ruled. His large statue would eventually be moved to the Vatican - one of many issues showing the bearing Christianity took - the bitter red horse.

Roman Emperor Pius, 138-61 - heavy persecutor of Christians - would eventually have twelve popes honor him by taking on his name - Pope Pius I, during the persecutor's reign

 

9: I KNOW THY WORKS, & TRIBULATION, & POVERTY, (BUT THOU ART RICH) & I KNOW THE BLASPHEMY OF THEM WHICH SAY THEY ARE JEWS, & ARE NOT, BUT ARE THE SYNAGOGUE OF SATAN

Xrist uses synagogue, not church - symbolizing Satan's whereabouts - that residence will change soon

Scripture defines a Jew: Galatians 3: there is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female, for ye are all one in Jesus Christ Roman - 2:29 but he is a Jew...whose praise is not of men, but of God.

Gentile is use only once in Revelation, chapter 11:2.

 

10: FEAR NONE OF THOSE THINGS WHICH THOU SHALT SUFFER: BEHOLD, THE DEVIL SHALL CAST SOME OF YOU INTO PRISON, THAT YE MAY BE TRIED; & YE SHALL HAVE TRIBULATION TEN DAYS: BE THOU FAITHFUL UNTO DEATH, & I WILL GIVE THEE A CROWN OF LIFE.

Ezekiel 4:5 & 6 for I have lain upon thee the years of their iniquity, according to the number of the days - I have appointed thee each day for a year

Days in Revelations translate to years - seen more clearly as chapters unfold -1260 years will appear in many forms

These ten days are the ten years of persecution under Roman Emperor Diocletian, 303-13 AD  He sought to restore the Roman religion & found Christianity to be a threat to the peace of the Roman state. This desire to stamp out the Christian religion caused him to issue edicts in AD 303 calling for the destruction of all Christian places of worship & written materials as well as the execution of Christians. This persecution of the Christian faith seemed to be a catalyst for the religion to spread even more rapidly.

To wear a crown is to rule, but whom. According to so many Christian educators, all should die & rise together. The crown takes on a far different rule in God's Mystery.

 

11: HE THAT HATH AN EAR, LET HIM HEAR WHAT THE SPIRIT SAITH UNTO THE CHURCHES; HE THAT OVERCOMETH SHALL NOT BE HURT OF THE SECOND DEATH

Why would a just God condemn one to be born into violence, to the ghettos. Perhaps as a prerequisite for the soul's development? Why would God not end the souls' existence rather than dole out the tortuous ending as in the final day that so many are led to believe? Fact is, as will be shown, that is not the case.

- Rev. 20:6 - BLESSED & HOLY IS HE THAT HATH PART IN THE FIRST RESURRECTION: ON SUCH THE SECOND DEATH HATH NO POWER - 21:8 BUT THE FEARFUL, & UNBELIEVING, & THE ABOMINABLE, & MURDERERS, & WHOREMONGERS, & SORCERERS, & IDOLATERS, & ALL LIARS, SHALL HAVE THEIR PART IN THE LAKE WHICH BURNETH WITH FIRE & BRIMSTONE: WHICH IS THE SECOND DEATH - which will be shown, not as the hell so many try to push on us, rather a very different end result

- the second death comes before the new Heaven, Rev. 21:1 & I SAW A NEW HEAVEN & A NEW EARTH: FOR THE FIRST HEAVEN AND THE FIRST EARTH WERE PASSED AWAY THE FIRST EARTH WERE PASSED AWAY - there shall be a new earth with this new heaven after the next two cataclysms - the last cataclysm was the great flood.... 2Corinthians 12:2 shows a third heaven; obviously John must be familiar with dimensional heavens, as the new heaven will be shown to have dimensions. IMAGINE 3 HEAVENS, MAYBE SIDE BY SIDE - WHAT IS OUTSIDE OF THESE WALLS?

 

12: & TO THE ANGEL OF THE CHURCH IN PERGAMOS WRITE; THESE THINGS SAITH HE WHICH HATH THE SHARP SWORD WITH TWO EDGES;

PERGAMOS 'elevation' or 'MARRIAGE' = the common-law relationship between the papacy & the Roman Empire.

This era covers 325 to the establishment of the future Vatican, the Roman Catholic Church, 538 AD. 

Satan - using the Roman Empire - begins its devastation of the Christian empire as it had done to Judaism.

- rather than fight with Christ's sword, the Word, the Papacy [perhaps under Satan's controls] joined the Romans; it was easier than faith.

- rather than confront a ever growing strength, the Romans accepted Christianity under Constantine   

 Constantine, who was already sympathetic toward Christianity, is said by Eusebius of Caesarea to have seen a flaming cross in the sky inscribed with the words, “In this sign thou shalt conquer.'  He adopted the cross

Roman Emperor Theodicies, 378-95, & with the persuasion of the mother church, Christianity is now declared a state religion, forced on all by the blade     

Under Pope Sixtus II, 432-40, Rome is now considered the Papacy's. He is the seventh, who becomes the eight - the Exarch of Ravenna in Rev.17:10. He advocates the DEATH PENALTY [murder for heresy] - not for what goes against God, but for what goes against the grain of the Papacy's authority. Thus the church goes the way of the synagogue - the self-imposed right to kill.    

Only Christians could now enter the Roman army; thus one had to have the belief in Christ for the right to kill

 

13: I KNOW THY WORKS, &

WHERE THOU DWELLEST,

EVEN WHERE SATAN'S SEAT IS: & THOU HOLDEST FAST MY NAME, & HAST NOT DENIED MY FAITH, EVEN IN THOSE DAYS WHEREIN ANTIPAS WAS MY FAITHFUL MARTYR, WHO WAS SLAIN AMONG YOU,

WHERE SATAN DWELLETH

This is the Red Horse era of Revelation 6:4, red denoting a great injury. The worse is yet to come.  

Satan changes seats!

Where Satan once dwelled DWELLETH & now dwells  DWELLEST is exposed - showing a change of residence

- Christ could not be clearer with what is being said. Satan fell from Heaven, Rev. 12:9 WHICH DECEIVETH THE WORLD

- It could not annihilate Christianity through the blade using the Roman Empire; therefore it infiltrated the church as it had the synagogue

- ANTIPAS, by his residence, further announces where Satan was, but shows a second meaning (a two edged sword) 'anti-papas' also denoting 'anti-pope.'   

The Papacy switches its Sabbath to harmonize with Constantine's proclaimed Sunday 'Day of Rest'.        

Priests begin the title 'father'.         

Hell was re-defined to the church's favor at the Council of Constantinople, 381 AD. How much else was re-defined & invented so long ago when people were ignorant        

In this stage of Christianity the church begins defying the second & fourth Commandments

- Idol worship -  The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, Edward Gibbon, Encyclopedia Britannica Inc., 1952, p. 465 'In the long period of 1200 years which elapsed between the reign of Constantine & the Reformation of Luther, the worship of saints & relics corrupted the pure & perfect simplicity of the Christian model; & some symptoms of degenerating may be observed even in the first generation which adopted & cherished this pernicious innovation'.         

The statue of St. Peter has had its right toe worn down from the kisses of the popes throughout the centuries           

The cross increases its reverence defying the Commandments 

Revelation 18:7 begins to take effect: I SIT A QUEEN, & AM NO WIDOW & SHALL SEE NO SORROW - The Lukewarm of Revelation 3:16 have already been seeded; the roots now take hold

 

14: BUT I HAVE A FEW THINGS AGAINST THEE, BECAUSE THOU HAST THERE THEM THAT HOLD THE DOCTRINE OF BALAAM, WHO TAUGHT BALAC TO CAST A STUMBLINGBLOCK BEFORE THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL, TO EAT THINGS SACRIFICED UNTO IDOLS, & TO COMMIT FORNICATION. 15SO HAST THOU ALSO THEM THAT HOLD THE DOCTRINE OF THE NICOLAITANES, WHICH THING I HATE.

Christ is informing this era that there are two types who have infiltrated the Christian empire - those who promote idolatry & a new group even more powerful. Balaam is added to Christ's contempt of the Nicolaitanes.

He asserts the church is using civil domination to gain what is forbidden to them by Scripture. Numbers 22-25 show Balaam is forewarned by the Lord not to interfere with the Israelites. Therefore Balaam gives Balac a reward to do what God prohibited him from doing. Balac (civil/state) delivers enchanting & alluring Moab women to persuade the Israelites into immorality. The result was a plague immediately killing 24,000 Israelites. Balaam is the church & Balac is the state.

 - this Balaam story indicates that God would do the killing - not ask man to do what the Creator can do. This is a far cry from what the scribes of Old Testament, the Mormon bible & Islam tenants describe as orders from God for man to kill man

 

16: REPENT; OR ELSE I WILL COME UNTO THEE QUICKLY, & WILL FIGHT AGAINST THEM WITH THE SWORD OF MY MOUTH. 17 HE THAT HATH AN EAR, LET HIM HEAR WHAT THE SPIRIT SAITH UNTO THE CHURCHES; TO HIM THAT OVERCOMETH WILL I GIVE TO EAT OF THE HIDDEN MANNA, & WILL GIVE HIM A WHITE STONE, & IN THE STONE A NEW NAME WRITTEN, WHICH NO MAN KNOWETH SAVING HE THAT RECEIVETH IT.

BEFORE JUDAISM, CHRISTIANITY & ISLAM THERE WAS NO TICKET TO HEAVEN, RATHER A FREE PASS

- NO NEED TO BELONG TO ANY OF THE RELIGIONS OR THEIR BELIEFS.

IN FACT, LONG BEFORE JUDAISM THERE EXISTED A RELIGION THAT EVEN THE EARLY JEWS HIGHLY RESPECTED UNDER THE HIGH PRIEST MELCHEZEDEK; [ODD THAT OLD TESTAMENT MENTIONS LITTLE OF HIM & NOTHING OF HIS RELIGION. PERHAPS BECAUSE, IN TRUTH, OLD TESTAMENT IS REALLY JUST BOOKS OF JEWISH HISTORY & SAGAS].

WITH THE INTRODUCTION OF JUDAISM, GOD SUPPOSEDLY ENTERED THE NEED FOR A TICKET TO HEAVEN,

CAPITALIZED ON LATER BY ITS OFF-SPRING, CHRISTIANITY & ISLAM.

WHAT MANY FORGET IS THAT CHRISTIANITY & ISLAM GOT THEIR ROOTS FROM JUDAISM;

IT SEEMS REASONABLE TO ASSUME THAT IF JUDAISM, THRU SCRIPTURE, PROVES SOMEWHAT FALSE, SO ARE THE TWO OFF-SPRING'S TENETS & ALSO ISRAEL'S CLAIM TO ARAB LANDS

The manna is the hidden knowledge understood by few, the reward for 'overcoming' 

The stone is a recognized symbol used in days of patriarchal.

- A new stone, a new name - white is pure.

- Christ will use another name in the future as He has probably done in the past.

Those who are overcoming & must return for some reason will also have a new name. No differently than reincarnation, in that the past is forgotten & another beginning commences under a different name

One must wonder why most Bibles are black in color, not white [associated with purity] - passing thought

 

18: & UNTO THE ANGEL OF THE CHURCH IN THYATIRA WRITE; THESE THINGS SAITH THE SON OF GOD, WHO HATH HIS EYES LIKE UNTO A FLAME OF FIRE, & HIS FEET ARE LIKE FINE BRASS;

This is the Black Horse of Revelation 6 covering the established Papacy in 538 AD, to the end of her dominion in 1798 - the year France declared war on God - establishing Biblical Societies through modern printing presses.      

Thyatira, the seller of purple [a color signifying riches & possessions] was an amalgamation place of religions & races.     

The feet symbolize a foundation & the eyes are the outrage as to what the Papacy has become. Power, greed & bloodshed are well established & intensify at a frightening speed.  A reflection of Revelation 6 showing the church balancing civil & religious powers, given to Pope Justanian, 527-65, by the Byzantine Emperor

 

SPIRITUAL ARMS TAKE PLACE OF SPREADING THE WORD -The History of the Decline & Fall of the Roman Empire, Gibbon, vol 5,

p. 158 'From the conquest of Persia they carried their spiritual arms to the north, the east, & the south;...'        

p. 117 of one, 'Rumour was spread among the Christians that the daughter of Theon was the only obstacle to the reconciliation of the perfect & the archbishop; & that obstacle was speedily removed. On a fatal day, in holy season of Lent, Hypatia was torn from her chariot, stripped naked, dragged to the church, & inhumanly butchered by the hands of Peter the leader & a troop of savage & merciless fanatics; her flesh was scraped from her bones with sharp oyster shells, & her quivering limbs were delivered to the flames.'        

p. 118-19, of a nation, 'give me, O Caesar!' he exclaimed, 'give the me the earth purged of heretics, & I will give you in exchange the kingdom of heaven. Exterminate with me, the heretics; & with you, I will exterminate the Persians.' The fifth day, as the treaty had already been signed, the patriarch of Constantinople discovered, surprised, & attacked a secret conventicle of the Arians; they preferred death to submission; ....Lydia & Caria, Sardes & Miletrus, were purified with the blood of the obstinate Quartodecimans....'.        

p. 140-41, their own Christians, 'Thrace, besieged Constantinople, exterminated sixty-five thousand of his fellow Christians.... & such an event of the first of religious wars which have been waged in the name, & by the disciples, of the God of peace.'        

p.145, of the cross & it sanctioned murders, 'The abomination of the cross had already been planted on their holy mount of Garizim, but the persecution of Justinian offered only the alternative of baptism or rebellion.....The Samaritans were finally subdued by the regular forces of the East: twenty thousand were slain, twenty thousand were sold by the Arabs to the infidels of Persia & India, & the remains of that unhappy nation atoned for the crime of treason by the sin of hypocrisy. It has been computed that one hundred thousand Roman subjects were extirpated in the samaritan war,...... & he piously labored to establish with fire & sword the unity of the Christian faith -  war,...... & he piously labored to establish with fire & sword the unity of the Christian faith]

Islam under Mohammed, 570-632, procures its beginning in this era - slowing down the papacy's ever expanding strength & wickedness - no better than She. Mohammed used the sword to spread Islam & bloodshed met bloodshed through the crusades

The Papacy grows stronger & more corrupt each year:        

Pope Gregory, 590-607 creates the Papacy's version of Trinity, including purgatory; so much was concocted in this era by the Catholic empire & would be the substructure of the future.       

Charlemagne, 742-814, assists the Papacy's might by slaughtering in great numbers all dispute her  

Under Pope Stephen II, 752-57, the Papacy owns Italy, the beginning of increasing Papal States. The East separates from the Roman Catholic Church, no longer responding to the pope

Pope Adrian, 772-95, SANCTIONS IMAGE WORSHIP, giving reign to Mohammed followers to slaughter in the name of God      

Nicolas I, 858-67, commences the custom of wearing a crown, & begins the '700 Year School of Forgery'   

Benedict VII openly buys the throne position & the word 'simony' is now official

Nicolas I, 858-67, commences the custom of wearing a crown, & begins the '700 Year School of Forgery'

Pope Serguis is the first to openly keep a mistress

Marozia, her sister & her mother fill the Papacy with children, some of who become popes - known as the 'Den of Robbers' & the 'Rule of Harlots'.  Marozia smothers John X, 914-28, to death. The powers of Marozia speak well - Gibbon's volume five, page 317; 'The influence of two sister prostitutes, Marozia & Theodora, was founded on their wealth & beauty, their political and amorous intrigues: the most strenuous of their lovers were rewarded with Roman mitre, & their reign may have suggested to the darker ages the fable of a female pope. The bastard son, the grandson, & the great-grandson of Marozia, a rare genealogy, were seated in the chair of St. Peter, & it was at the age of nineteen years that the second of these became the head of the Latin Church.'         

Boniface VII, 984-85, murders John XIV, but reigns through wealth   

John XII, 1024-33, buys his position, passes all decrees in a day

Benedict IX, 1033-45, 12 years old, also gets his throne through money; commits adultery & murder in the open      

Urban II, 1088-89, leads the crusade movement & massacres are widespread by both Islam & Christianity. They have become beasts    

Adrian IV, 1154-59, gives Ireland to England, which will have centuries of ill effects in Ireland

Innocent III, 1198-1216, considered one of the bloodiest popes in the papacy's history; orders a fourth crusade; exterminates heretics by the thousands - any opposed to the mother church; triggers the Inquisition slaughtering millions who opposed her in any idiosyncrasy; declares at the Council of Rome, 1215, that all Jews are slaves       

Pope Innocent IV, 1241-54, May 15, 1252, declared, by bull, Ad Extirpanda, that even the magistrate would be required to use torture to compel heretics to confess! The conclusion was 100% convictions.

- he makes an edict against the Jews in Spain, that those who do not embrace Christianity were to be banished from the peninsula. The wave of Jewish emigration was unequaled until the days of Hitler            

July 18th/1290 King Edward 1 makes an edict to rid the country of Jews

Thousands of Jews were slaughtered out of devotion to Christ - Peter de Rosa, Vicars of Christ, the Dark side of the Papacy, Bantam Press, 1988,          

p. 5 on Jews:  'During the crusades they were slaughtered in their thousands, out of devotion to Christ... Bad art & disastrous theology had prepared the way for Hitler & his final solution. In 1936, Bishop Berning of Osnabruch, had talked with the Fuhrer for over an hour. Hitler assured his lordship there was no fundamental difference between National Socialism & the Catholic Church. Had not the church, he argued, looked on Jews as parasites & shut them in ghettos? I am only doing, he boasted, what the church has done for 1500 years, only more effectively. being a Catholic himself, he told Berning, he admired & wanted to promote Christianity. It never occurred to Hitler, it seems, that Jesus, whom he referred to in Mein Kamph as 'the Great Founder of his new creed' & scourge of Jews, was himself a Jew...'] Christian blindness set in as would happen with Islam        

Edward Gibbon, p 135, 'During ten centuries of blindness & servitude Europe received her religion opinions from the oracle of the Vatican; & the same doctrine ready varnished with antiquity, was admitted without dispute into the creed of the reformers, who disclaimed the supremacy of the Roman pontiff.'         

John XXIII, 1405-15, considered the worst pope in all its history; guilty of almost every crime thinkable

- Pageant of the Popes by John Farrow, Sheed & Ward, New York, 1950, p. 179 John Hus opposed the church & was called a heretic. '....so in 1415 John Hus was burned for his heresy by decree of the council'  

Nicolas V, 1447-55, authorizes Portugal to go to war on Africa, pillage property & create slaves of its people       

Sixtus IV, 1471-84, sanctions the Spanish Inquisition & proclaims that money can save souls of loved ones in purgatory

- Torture had become traditional; countless victims were burned alive, some boiled to their deaths; some drawn, disemboweled, then quartered. The Inquisitor could bring suit against any person based upon rumor or gossip, even from infamous thieves.       

Leo X, 1513-21 is archbishop at 8 years old; eventually declares the burning of heretics as Divine appointment        

Pius IV, 1556-72, on Feb 16, 1558, condemns the Netherlands to death

Gregory III, 1572-85, cheers his St. Bartholomew Massacre in mass -  Confession through priest is founded       

Clement XI, 1700-21 also issues a decree forbidding Bible reading

 

19: I KNOW THY WORKS, & CHARITY, & SERVICE, & FAITH, & THY PATIENCE, & THY WORKS; & THE LAST TO BE MORE THAN THE FIRST

The duplication of the 'second works' is the creation of the Reformation, slowing down the papacy's ever growing strength. They shall mirror many of her ways in the years to come; already many of her false doctrines have been accepted - wearing & worshiping Christ's humiliation, the CROSS for example

 

20: NOTWITHSTANDING I HAVE A FEW THINGS AGAINST THEE, BECAUSE THOU SUFFEREST THAT WOMAN JEZEBEL, WHICH CALLETH HERSELF A PROPHETESS, TO TEACH & TO SEDUCE MY SERVANTS TO COMMIT FORNICATION, & TO EAT THINGS SACRIFICED UNTO IDOLS

Jezebel is a woman, signifying a new church [shown in later chapters].

Many of the mother church's teachings are taken on by her daughters, especially the financial parts

-  Jezebel capitalized on her husband's name & used his seal in the same manner that the Christian Institutions are now using the Papacy's controls to prostitute the Father & Son's name, 'In Vain' so to speak

- the daughters are now doing what the mother has been doing - teaching fornication [lusts of the heart] - placing themselves between God & the people - often at a cost

 

21: & I GAVE HER SPACE TO REPENT OF HER FORNICATION; & SHE REPENTED NOT. 22 BEHOLD, I WILL CAST HER INTO A BED, & THEM THAT COMMIT ADULTERY WITH HER INTO GREAT TRIBULATION, EXCEPT THEY REPENT OF THEIR DEEDS. 23 & I WILL KILL HER CHILDREN WITH DEATH; & ALL THE CHURCHES SHALL KNOW THAT I AM HE WHICH SEARCHETH THE REINS & HEARTS: & I WILL GIVE UNTO EVERY ONE OF YOU ACCORDING TO YOUR WORKS

Christ uses a double death, kill with death; suggesting that there is no recovery from this final blow, to exist any longer in any form - her children are the Reformation

 

24: BUT UNTO YOU I SAY, & UNTO THE REST IN THYATIRA, AS MANY AS HAVE NOT THIS DOCTRINE, & WHICH HAVE NOT KNOWN THE DEPTHS OF SATAN, AS THEY SPEAK; I WILL PUT UPON YOU NONE OTHER BURDEN

'THEY SPEAK' [plural]: not knowing the depths of Satan. They teach Satan's doctrine

He shall add no more unto those who believe what they were taught was right, even though it may be wrong

 

GOD'S BASIC LAWS ARE OBVIOUSLY SUBJECT

TO CHANGE AS THE TIMES CHANGE

 

Not from the depths of Satan, but according to the Laws of His times, Christ should have been stoned for working on the Sabbath, amidst many other breaches of His religion. The laws change as the times change, or they would have been made into Commandments. The following are but a few of the Laws of God of the old days that had to change:

Sell my daughter into slavery, as sanctioned in Exodus 21:7. In this day & age, what is the fair price for her

No contact with a woman while she is in her period of menstrual uncleanliness - Lev.15:19-24. The problem is how to tell without asking, as most women would take offense

Lev. 25:44 states that one may indeed possess slaves, both male & female, provided purchasing from neighboring nations. Does this apply to Mexicans, as I live in Canada?

A neighbor insists on working on the Sabbath - Exodus 35:2 clearly states he should be put to death  Am I morally obligated to kill him myself

Lev. 21:20 states that I may not approach the altar of God if I have a defect in my sight.  I have to admit that I wear reading glasses - does my vision have to be 20/20, or is there some wiggle room here

Most of my male friends get their hair trimmed, including the hair around their temples, even though this is expressly forbidden by Lev.19:27. How should they die

Lev. 11:6-8 that touching the skin of a dead pig makes me unclean, May I still play football if I wear gloves

A man with a farm violates Lev. 19:19 by planting two different crops in the same field, as does his wife by wearing garments made of two different kinds of thread [cotton/polyester blend], he also tends to curse & blaspheme a lot. Is it really necessary that we go to all the trouble of getting the whole town together to stone them Lev.24:10-16 or should we just burn them to death at a private family affair as we do to those who sleep with their in-laws, Lev 20:14

 

TIMES HAVE CHANGED

Example if reincarnation exists & a soul was born many times a woman & Divinity reasoned she should be born a man, what sexual preferences might surface? 

Lev 20:13 [which applies to men only] is a Law, not a Commandment - IF A MAN ALSO LIE WITH MANKIND, AS HE LIETH WITH A WOMAN, BOTH OF THEM HAVE COMMITTED AN ABOMINATION

- one should note that there is no finger pointing towards lesbians

Today there are those who go to great lengths & have a sex change - their claim that they are born into the wrong body is much more easily understood than the gays who would never entertain such a thought - who play the game - push their principles on others, sadly towards our children. If their claim is true, then why are they still attracted to the same sex, that is another gay born into the wrong body? - because of nature's natural attraction towards the opposite sex, the feminine-male-gay, should be automatically attracted to the masculine-female-lesbian - perfect opposites that should attract each other.

Religious controllers also play a game to deny these people recognition within their churches Lev 20:13 & also Romans 1:24 - WHEREFORE GOD ALSO GAVE THEM UP TO UNCLEANNESS THROUGH THE LUSTS OF THEIR OWN HEARTS, TO DISHONOUR THEIR OWN BODIES BETWEEN THEMSELVES: .. : FOR EVEN THEIR WOMEN DID CHANGE THE NATURAL USE INTO THAT WHICH IS AGAINST NATURE: 27& LIKEWISE ALSO THE MEN, LEAVING THE NATURAL USE OF THE WOMAN, BURNED IN THEIR LUST ONE TOWARD ANOTHER; MEN WITH MEN ..

 

Ecclesiastics 3:1 & 2 - TO EVERY THING THERE IS A SEASON & A TIME FOR EVERY PURPOSE UNDER THE HEAVEN:

 A TIME TO BE BORN, A TIME TO DIE

Today ABORTION is considered by many to be a woman's decision - between the Creator & her - & eventually those who pushed upon her that it is her right, that is if abortion is truly a wrong. Scripture speaks loud & clear when one is taught a wrong is right - 'They', not just one, are teaching Satan's values -  HAVE NOT KNOWN THE DEPTHS OF SATAN, AS THEY SPEAK; I WILL PUT UPON YOU NONE OTHER BURDEN

Regardless of the pregnancy's condition & or its occurrence, to believe in God is to accept that it is God's decision as to the time, the place & the parents [or the adopting parents] of that child

 

25: BUT THAT WHICH YE HAVE ALREADY HOLD FAST TILL I COME. 26 & HE THAT OVERCOMETH, & KEEPETH MY WORKS UNTO THE END, TO HIM WILL I GIVE POWER OVER THE NATIONS: 27: & HE SHALL RULE THEM WITH A ROD OF IRON; AS THE VESSELS OF A POTTER SHALL THEY BE BROKEN TO SHIVERS: EVEN AS I RECEIVED OF MY FATHER.

28: I WILL GIVE HIM THE MORNING STAR. 29 HE THAT HATH AN EAR, LET HIM HEAR WHAT THE SPIRIT SAITH UNTO THE CHURCHES

Interesting statement! Christ states well enough that we can inherit, in time, what He has already done - related to as such in Rev. 3:20 - 'AS I OVERCAME' - we receive from Him as He did from His Father

The Morning star is our sun [the 1st indication as to the use of the stars] - & we are told we can receive our own star, which has our name on it

- in other words, those who eventually go Christ's full path can also have the same until the universe is completed - the first step of the Mystery where the use of the millions of galaxies & their planets is exposed
