THE PAPACY VS. THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

The Papacy vs. The United States of America

We must now show that the papacy is the most deadly enemy the United States will
ever have to face. This fact is virtually unknown among the people. Using the utmost
secrecy to conceal her plans, the papacy, through her facade of religion, has for
many decades been infiltrating the United States in all levels of government. As a
result, the United States will soon lose its constitution and become a tyrannical,
persecuting power.

For many decades the papacy has been laying plans for the takeover of the United
States. This goal of the papacy is clearly stated in Charles Chiniquy’s book Fifty
Years in the Church of Rome.

We are determined . . . to take possession of the United States, and rule them; but
we cannot do that without acting secretly and with utmost wisdom. If our plans
become known, they will surely be defeated. — Charles Chiniquy, Fifty Years in the
Church of Rome, The Wickliffe Press, Protestant truth Society, Wickliffe Avenue, 104
Hendon Lane, Finchley, London, N3., 1885, p. 373.

On page 374 of this book we read:

How sad will their awakening be, when, with our out-numbering votes, we will turn
them, for ever, from every position of honor, power and profit! What will those
hypocritical and godless sons and daughters of the fanatical Pilgrim Fathers say,
when not a single judge, not a single teacher, not a single policeman will be elected
if he be not a devoted . . . Roman Catholic? What will those so-called giants think of
their matchless shrewdness and ability, when not a single Senator or member of
Congress will be chosen, if he be not submitted to our holy father the Pope? What a
sad figure those Protestant Yankees will cut when we will not only elect the
President, but fill and command the armies, man the navies, and hold the keys of the
public treasury?

Then, yes! then, we will rule the United States, and lay them at the feet of the Vicar
of Jesus Christ [the pope], that he may put an end to their godless system of
education, and sweep away those impious laws of liberty of conscience which are
an insult to God and man!

. . . The American people must be very blind indeed, if they do not see that if they do
nothing to prevent it, the day is very near when the Jesuits will rule their country,
from the magnificent White House at Washington, to the humblest civil and military
department of this vast Republic. — ibid, p. 374.

As we have seen, when they say Vicar of Jesus Christ, they mean the pope.

Here is a statement from the same book that shows the power these people have
already amassed in the United States.

The Jesuits of the United States form one of the richest and most powerful
corporations the world ever saw. — ibid, p. 375.

The papacy is by far the wealthiest institution on earth.

Jesus, the founder of Christianity, was the poorest of the poor. Roman Catholicism,
which claims to be His church, is the richest of the rich. — Avro Manhattan, The
Vatican Billions, Chick Publications, p. 17.

The Catholic church is the biggest financial power, wealth accumulator and property
owner in existence. She is a greater possessor of material riches than any other
single institution, corporation, bank, giant trust, government or state of the whole
globe. — Jack Chick, Smokescreens, Chick Publications, Chapter 10.

Very few people know anything about the Jesuits because of their extreme secrecy.
Here is a description of them from the book The Great Controversy that shows the
abominable character and deceptiveness of the pope’s Jesuits.

Throughout Christendom, Protestantism was menaced by formidable foes. The first
triumphs of the Reformation past, Rome summoned new forces, hoping to
accomplish its destruction. At this time the order of the Jesuits was created, the
most cruel, unscrupulous, and powerful of all the champions of popery. Cut off from
earthly ties and human interests, dead to the claims of natural affection, reason and
conscience wholly silenced, they knew no rule, no tie, but that of their order, and no
duty but to extend its power. The gospel of Christ had enabled its adherents to meet
danger and endure suffering, undismayed by cold, hunger, toil, and poverty, to
uphold the banner of truth in face of the rack, the dungeon, and the stake. To combat
these forces, Jesuitism inspired its followers with a fanaticism that enabled them to
endure like dangers, and to oppose to the power of truth all the weapons of
deception. There was no crime too great for them to commit, no deception too base
for them to practice, no disguise too difficult for them to assume. Vowed to
perpetual poverty and humility, it was their studied aim to secure wealth and power,
to be devoted to the overthrow of Protestantism, and the re-establishment of the
papal supremacy.

When appearing as members of their order, they wore a garb of sanctity, visiting
prisons and hospitals, ministering to the sick and the poor, professing to have
renounced the world, and bearing the sacred name of Jesus, who went about doing
good. But under this blameless exterior the most criminal and deadly purposes
were often concealed. It was a fundamental principle of the order that the end
justifies the means. By this code, lying, theft, perjury, assassination, were not only
pardonable but commendable, when they served the interests of the church. Under
various disguises the Jesuits worked their way into offices of state, climbing up to
be the counselors of kings, and shaping the policy of nations. They became servants
to act as spies upon their masters. They established colleges for the sons of princes
and nobles, and schools for the common people; and the children of Protestant
parents were drawn into an observance of popish rites. All the outward pomp and
display of the Romish worship was brought to bear to confuse the mind and dazzle
and captivate the imagination, and thus the liberty for which the fathers had toiled
and bled was betrayed by the sons. The Jesuits rapidly spread themselves over
Europe, and wherever they went, there followed a revival of popery. — E. G. White,
The Great Controversy, pp. 234, 235, 1911, Pacific Press Publishing Assn.

Today the pope’s Jesuits are not only entrenched at the highest levels of all
branches and departments of the U.S. Government, but they are also entrenched at
the highest levels of virtually all the major corporations and industries in the United
States. The Jesuits are the major stockholders of many of the largest corporations.
They own 51% of the stock in Bank of America for instance. And because the papacy
is a so-called church, they pay not one penny of taxes. Because they are a so-called
church, they are able to operate internationally outside of the laws and legal
proceedings everyone else must follow.

Here are a few of the Jesuit-controlled corporations that totally support their Jesuits
in congress and the government: American Airlines, TWA, Anheuser Busch, AT&T,
Bell Atlantic, Boeing, Cigna, Coca-Cola, Daimler Chrysler, Exxon, Shell, Ford Motor
Company, General Electric, Hewlett-Packard, Home Depot, May Company, McDonald’
s, Motorola, Philip Morris, Price-Waterhouse, Rite Aid, RJR Nabisco, Sony Corp. of
America, Texaco, United Parcel Service, Walt Disney Company, and Wells Fargo.

These corporations give their Jesuit senators and congressmen in both the
Democratic and Republican parties many thousands of dollars for their election
campaigns. These senators and congressmen are the most radical and dangerous
this country has ever had. They do everything they can to pass laws and regulations
prohibited by our constitution, laws designed to destroy the United States, to
eliminate freedom, and to convert the United States into a ruthless tyranny. They lie
constantly to deceive the people so they will go along with the laws and regulations
they want to pass.

Everyone in high positions in the government takes a solemn oath to uphold and
obey the Constitution, but nearly all of them totally ignore the Constitution. The
president issues executive orders that are totally unconstitutional, and Congress
passes laws that the Constitution specifically forbids. Our God-given Constitution is
the reason the United States has become the greatest country in the world, but it is
being thoroughly undermined today by the Jesuits in government as they work to
destroy the United States.

The laws and regulations they pass are designed to export the industrial and
manufacturing base of the United States to other countries. They are designed to
destroy our energy base by restricting oil prospecting, fuel production, and nuclear
power plants. The Jesuits in the House, Senate and regulating agencies restrict the
private use of land with nonsensical environmental rules and regulations. They pass
laws and regulations about what is “proper” to be taught in schools so that children
will grow up being extremely ignorant under the banner of being educated.

The Jesuits are not recognized by the general populace because of their treachery
and secrecy. They tell no one that they are Jesuits. They even belong to other
churches, other organizations, and other cultures, that they have infiltrated, to hide
their identity and to control these organizations.

There are millions and millions of the pope’s Jesuits. They are everywhere. They
are into everything. They are into every major organization, and control nearly every
political organization and government in the world. Because of the Jesuits’ extreme
secrecy, many of these organizations and governments are totally unaware that
they are being infiltrated and controlled.

It is easy to identify the Jesuits and the Jesuit puppets in the United States
Congress, because they are the ones that continually try to get all kinds of laws
passed that require exactly the opposite from what the Constitution says. They
continually pass laws that restrict the liberty of the citizens of the country. They
continually pass laws to regulate every aspect of life in the United States. They
continually pass laws that restrict freedom of speech such as the Campaign Finance
Reform Act. Incidentally, they always use names for these laws that will sound good
to the American people, but rarely indicate what is in the law. They use every means
they can to deceive the people of the country.

The Jesuits continually try to pass restrictive gun legislation. The second
amendment to the Constitution says, “the right of the people to keep and bear arms,
shall not be infringed.” Every gun law that congress has ever passed is a direct
violation of the United States’ Constitution. Because of the crime and terrorism in
our country today, and because of the government and media propaganda against
guns, people are made to believe that these laws are necessary.

When the citizens of a nation are armed, where their right to own guns is not
infringed, the crime rate is extremely low.

Every man in Switzerland, for instance, is required to have guns in his home,
including assault rifles. Crime in Switzerland is almost non-existent. In states and
cities in America that allow people to carry guns, the crime rate is extremely low.

During World War Two, Hitler wanted to invade Switzerland. The Swiss told him that
he could send his army across the border, but none of his officers would return.
Hitler gave the order to invade Switzerland several times, but his officers refused to
obey. Switzerland remained safely neutral all during the war because Hitler could
not overcome the guns in the hands of Swiss private citizens. No dictator wants to
be the dictator of a nation with 200 million guns around.

Christians generally do not want to have anything to do with guns, because a
Christian would never take the life of another individual. It is not the USE of the guns
that keeps the crime rate low; it is just the fact that the guns are there, and the
criminals and would-be dictators know that the guns are there. That knowledge
keeps them at bay.

In order to motivate the people of the United States to give up their guns, the Jesuits
stage shootings periodically to show how “dangerous” guns are. These shootings
occur in the most emotional places such as schools where children die. But Waco
shows what will happen when only the government has guns. Some 86 children died
a torturous death at Waco at the hands of the government.

The USA Patriot act of 2001 is in almost total violation of the constitution, requiring
many of the regulations Nazi Germany and communist Russia had. When all the
requirements of this act are implemented, the citizens of this country will rue the
day they ever allowed such a monstrosity to become law. Jesuits in the government
were responsible for this act and forced its passage. They forced a vote on this act
without giving the congressmen and senators an opportunity to read it! Why didn't
the congressmen and senators have the good sense to vote “no” and defeat this act
since they were never able to read it?

The Homeland Security Act of 2002 is another act that was passed to take away
freedom and security in the United States and is in total violation of the constitution.
As all the requirements of these acts become implemented, the people of the
country will learn first-hand how it feels to have absolutely no freedom. These and
other laws and regulations on the books will, when implemented, convert the United
States into a more ruthless police state than was Nazi Germany or communist
Russia and Red China.

Today, the United States is run and controlled by its most dedicated enemies. If you
wonder at the things the government and the people in control of the government
do that are so damaging to the United States, it is because they are our enemies and
are determined to destroy the United States. Treason is running rampant throughout
all levels and branches of the U.S. government today.

A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason
from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries
his banners openly against the city. But the traitor moves among those within the
gates freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls
of government itself. For the traitor appears no traitor; he speaks in the accents
familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their garments and he appeals to
the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation; he
works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of a city; he infects
the body politic so that it can no longer resist. — Marcus Cicero, speaking to Caesar,
Crassus, Pompey and the Roman Senate.

Many wonder today why the Republican party does nothing to defeat the treasonous
schemes of the Democrats. It is because the pope’s Jesuits have thoroughly
infiltrated the Republican party as well as the Democratic party. Many wonder why
the news media lie so much to support and protect the Democrats. It is because the
pope’s Jesuits have thoroughly infiltrated the news media. The news media and
schools and colleges, with their lies and propaganda, have so conditioned the
people of the country that they are unable to recognize what has been done to them.
Victory for the Jesuits seems very near. The Jesuits are like a cancer that has
pervaded nearly every fiber of the society of the United States. We are being
defeated by the enemy within.

For many years the Jesuits have prevented the United States from developing
additional sources of energy within its own territory. Exploiting the vast oilfields on
the Alaskan north slope, that probably contain more oil than the entire middle east,
is forbidden. New nuclear power plants, the safest source of electric energy ever
discovered, are not permitted. There is no end to the lies people have been made to
believe about Nuclear energy. The environment is used as the club to subdue the
people of the country into going along with this idiocy. Modern technology is able to
develop these sources of power without any damage to the environment. France
gets 80% of its power from nuclear power plants without any problems. Needless to
say, without sufficient energy, the United States will not be able to defend itself. All
the papacy has to do is cut off the oil supply from the middle east.

The United States is now starting to feel the pinch of the energy shortage the Jesuits
have created. People have experienced blackouts over large areas as power is shut
off to stay within the limits of generating capacity. Today, instead of constructing
additional nuclear power plants, some of these plants are being dismantled! Will the
people of the United States be able to wake up in time to prevent the coming
national tragedy?

Not only in the United States is this treachery being perpetrated by the papacy, but
they are secretly at work all over the world to subvert all the nations of the world.
Charles Chiniquy continues:

Rome is in constant conspiracy against the rights and liberties of man all over the
world; but she is particularly so in the United States. Long before I was ordained a
priest I knew that my Church was the most implacable enemy of this Republic. My
professors of philosophy, history, and theology had been unanimous in telling me
that the principles and laws of the Church of Rome were absolutely antagonistic to
the laws and principles that are the foundation stones of the Constitution of the
United States.

1st. The most sacred principle of the United States Constitution is the equality of
every citizen before the law. But the fundamental principle of the Church of Rome is
the denial of that [e]quality.

2nd. Liberty of conscience is proclaimed by the United States a most sacred
principle, which every citizen must uphold . . . . But liberty of conscience is declared
by all the Popes and Councils of Rome, a most godless, unholy, and diabolical thing,
which every good Catholic must abhor and destroy at any cost.

3rd. The American Constitution assures the absolute independence of the civil from
the ecclesiastical or Church power; but the Church of Rome declares, through all her
Pontiffs and Councils, that such independence is an impiety and a revolt against God.

4th. The American Constitution leaves every man free to serve God according to the
dictates of his conscience; but the Church of Rome declares that no man has ever
had such a right, and that the Pope alone can know and say what man must believe
and do. — Charles Chiniquy, Fifty Years in the Church of Rome, The Wickliffe Press,
Protestant truth Society, Wickliffe Avenue, 104 Hendon Lane, Finchley, London, N3.,
1885, p. 375.

And when the papacy takes over there will be bloodshed.

The Church of Rome says that she has a right to punish with the confiscation of their
goods, or the penalty of death, those who differ in faith from the Pope. — ibid, p. 376.

America simply has no idea of the terrible trouble and persecution that is coming
soon at the hands of the papacy. The people of America have forgotten the wanton
cruelty and unrestrained butchery this unholy power demonstrated during the Dark
Ages when it slaughtered over 150 million Christians because they wanted to
worship God according to the Bible. Hitler’s holocaust against the Jews was tiny
compared to the papal holocaust against Christians during the Dark Ages, and the
Jesuit-controlled news media never mention these atrocities.

The papacy’s slaughter of Christians continues to this day. Since the papacy is a
small country with little military capability, they always beguile other nations to do
their fighting for them. Today the United States is their favorite bully. Thus, they are
never directly involved, and people do not realize who is behind the wars, the
trouble, and the terrorism. Avro Manhattan’s book, The Vatican’s Holocaust,
describes in detail the papacy’s continuing slaughter of millions of Christians in the
20th century. At the time of this writing, the complete text of The Vatican’s
Holocaust is available on the internet for downloading at:

http://www.reformation.org/holocaus.html

The slaughter in Bosnia, Kosovo, Serbia, Croatia and others is a direct result of the
Vatican’s involvement in this area, but you will never hear about it because the
Jesuit-controlled news media not only refuse to mention it but they lie about the
situation to keep the papacy from being suspected of her true involvement.

The Jesuits seem to have a code that guides their every action. That code is: “Call
your enemy what you are and always tell the exact opposite of the truth.” This
makes it very difficult to counter their lies and explain clearly and understandably
what they are actually doing.

And now the world has terrorism to a degree that was unimaginable before the
destruction of the World Trade Center’s twin towers in New York City where nearly
4,000 people lost their lives. This terrorism is part of the plan the Jesuits are
implementing to scare the American people into giving up their freedoms, and it is
working. The Bible says in Revelation 18:24 that the papacy is responsible for “. . .
the blood of . . . all that were slain upon the earth.” Evidence strongly indicates that
Muslims highjacked the airliners and flew them into the towers. Thus we have rather
strong evidence that the papacy’s Jesuits have even been able to infiltrate the
Muslims. Remember that the papacy and the Jesuits have been at this business for
many hundreds of years. Remember, also, that we saw that no disguise is too
difficult for them to assume.

Let us now consider some of the tactics the papacy is using to subvert the United
States. Just because they call themselves a church does not mean that they are
honest or honorable. Remember that Satan, the devil, gave the papacy their power
and great authority (Revelation 13:2). The Catholics, through their Jesuits, are
working to accomplish the exact opposite from what the Catholic Church claims
they stand for. For instance, the church claims to be against abortion, but their
Jesuits, working in secrecy and masquerading as regular citizens in the
government, work to pass laws and make judicial rulings permitting abortion. They
have their right hand fighting their left hand to thoroughly confuse the people of the
United States and to keep the people from ever connecting this evil conspiracy with
them. Here is another example. The pope gets on television and, acting very
piously, prays for peace, while his Jesuits are behind the scenes stirring up all kinds
of wars, conflicts and terrorism in the world.

The papacy has made colossal fools of untold millions of people down through
history, and it is still doing so today.

The Jesuits are making a dedicated effort in the United States to degrade the
morality of the people of the country, to destroy family life, and to destroy all the
traditional values that made this country the greatest nation in the world. This is
being done by the abominable subjects being taught in government schools and
colleges. It is being done by history courses that teach from revisionist history
books containing many more lies than the truth. It is being done with pornographic
sex education courses in the schools. It is being done with the destruction of
religious values and the law of God, the Ten Commandments. It is being done by
television programs, where entertainment is watching people break God’s law. The
natural result is a drastic increase in crime. Acts of the most abominable and
shocking character are daily perpetrated within this country. The murder of one and
a half million unborn babies in this country each year is one result of the
demoralization of this nation.

The Jesuits are also flooding the United States with aliens, most of which are
Catholic. Not only are we being defeated by the Jesuit enemy within, we are
constantly being invaded by an army of aliens from without. These aliens dilute the
traditional American society that understands our Constitution and how it works.
This makes it much easier for the Jesuits in congress to pass the unconstitutional
laws so damaging to the United States. And, of course, along with these aliens come
the people who actually blow up the buildings.

There is talk in Washington of giving illegal aliens amnesty again, and also of
converting our southern border into a "regional power block" where the area within
100 miles on either side of the border between Mexico and the United States would
be administered jointly by Mexico and the U.S. The Jesuits are working to "eradicate
the borders that separate Canada, Mexico, and the United States as part of a larger
design to create a regional political and economic bloc duplicating the European
Union." - The New American, October 8, 2001.

There is also talk of putting Mexican citizens in Mexico on United States' Social
Security payments. The purpose of this, along with all the wars and police-keeping
actions the U.S. military is into and all the welfare the government pays for, is to
completely bankrupt the United States.

Pushed by the Mexican government, the Bush administration is working on a Social
Security accord that would put tens of thousands of Mexicans [in Mexico] onto the
Social Security roster and send hundreds of millions of dollars in benefits south of
the border. - Jonathan Weisman, The Washington Post, Dec. 19, 2002.

Since the Jesuits beguiled the United States into giving the Panama Canal to the
Red Chinese, there are now over 200,000 Red Chinese in the Canal Zone. This
portends extremely serious problems for both the United States and Panama. A
large percentage of Panamanian citizens want the U.S. to come back and restore the
Canal Zone as before. Incidentally, the treaty giving the canal to Panama was never
properly ratified. There were two versions of the treaty: an English version and a
Spanish version. These two versions were NOT the same. The Senate ratified one
version and the Panamanians ratified the other version. And the treason goes on
and on.

The Bible predicts what is going to happen to the United States.

There are two beasts (powers) described in the thirteenth chapter of Revelation. The
first has been shown to be the papacy, the Roman Catholic Church. The description
of the second beast begins with Revelation 13:11. “And I beheld another beast
coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spoke as a
dragon.”

The sea in Bible prophecy, you will remember, represents multitudes of people. The
ascent of the first beast, the papacy, from the “sea” indicates that this power arose
from the populated areas of Europe. The ascent of the second beast of Revelation 13
from the “earth” indicates that this power had its beginning in a sparsely populated
area of the globe.

The previous verse, verse ten, gives us an indication of the time when this second
beast was arising, for it refers to the deadly wound of verse three that the papacy
received in the year 1798. “He that leads into captivity shall go into captivity: he that
kills with the sword must be killed with the sword.” Verse eleven, then, describes
the ascent of this second beast at that time.

What nation was coming to power in the world around 1798 in a sparsely populated
area of the world when the papacy received its deadly wound? The only nation
coming to power at that time was the United States of America. The North American
continent was then a very sparsely populated area of the globe. Consider the beast
that is used to represent the United States. It has two horns like a lamb. What beast
other than a lamb has two small lamb-like horns? The obvious answer is the bison,
or buffalo, as it is more commonly referred to. The buffalo, whose habitat is the
North American continent, appeared for many years as a symbol on United States
nickels.

The two lamb-like horns of this beast symbolized the kind, gracious, and gentle
nature of this country when it was young. That the horns had no crowns symbolized
the great religious and political liberty available to all under the United States
Constitution. The horns without crowns represented a nation without a king and a
church without a pope. The powerful buffalo symbolized the superior strength of the
United States. On American money the message of her trust in God was proclaimed,
and the great blessing of God rested upon this country.

Alexis de Tocqueville, a young French philosopher of the last century, came to our
shores to discover what magical quality enabled a handful of people to defeat the
mighty British Empire twice in 35 years. He looked for the greatness of America in
her fertile soil, her limitless forests and natural resources. He examined America’s
schools, her Congress and her unique Constitution without fully understanding the
source of America’s strength.

It was not, he said later, until he went to the churches of America and found
congregations aflame with righteousness, that he began to comprehend the secret
of this power. Upon his return to France, de Tocqueville wrote: “America is great
because America is good, and if America ever ceases to be good, America will
cease to be great.” — Des Griffin, Descent into Slavery?, Emissary Publications, P.
O. Box 642, South Pasadena, CA 91030, 1980, p. 267.

The United States was the champion of liberty and freedom throughout the world.
Before this time no nation in history ever had a written constitution that guaranteed
the liberty and freedom of its people. But the glorious beginning of this country was
to be corrupted in later years. The gentle, gracious, freedom-loving character of the
United States in its youth was later used as a facade to hide the character that this
country subsequently developed. This facade has successfully kept hidden, even
from most of its own citizens, the real character the United States developed in
these last days as a result of Jesuit infiltration and subversion.

Revelation 13:11 tells us that this country will speak as a dragon. We saw that the
dragon is Satan. How does the dragon speak? John 8:44 tells us, “You are of your
father the devil, and the lusts of your father you will do. He was a murderer from the
beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he
speaks a lie, he speaks of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.” The devil is a
liar. There is no truth in him. This great country, that began so beautifully by
upholding the principles of morality and freedom, speaks, as Revelation 13:11 says,
“as a dragon.” In these last days, the United States lies to the entire world, just as
the dragon, the devil, does. The United States in these latter days deceives with a
skill nearly equal to that of the devil himself, just as the Bible predicted, for the devil
is using this country to play a major part in the disastrous events soon to take place.
Most of its citizens readily believe the lies of this second beast, the United States.

Why does a country lie? Why does a person lie? Why does Satan lie? Lies are
obviously used to deceive and to keep the truth from being known. Countries (and
people) lie because a knowledge of their activities will hurt or embarrass them, or
will prevent them from carrying out their sinister purposes. The fact that the United
States speaks as the dragon shows that its government is engaged in criminal
activities that its citizens and the rest of the world must not find out about. There are
many thousands of examples of our government’s lying that could be discussed, but
only two well-known examples will be considered here.
Perhaps the best known example of the United States government’s lies is our
servicemen missing in action from the Vietnam and previous wars. Many very
reliable reports of sightings have been documented, and photographs of men still
alive have surfaced, but the government continues to lie about these men, claiming
that they are all dead. How cruel it is for our government to simply abandon these
men to rot in communist prisons for so many years after they risked their lives
fighting in a war many of them felt was unjustifiable.

The second example of the United States lying to the world is the assassination of
President John F. Kennedy. Many books have been written about the assassination
that have put the lie to the official government version of what happened. The movie
JFK very forcefully exposes the lies of the official government version of what
happened and, along with many books on the assassination, shows that the
assassination of President Kennedy was planned and organized at the highest levels
of the U. S. Government. If the government has nothing to hide concerning this
assassination, why were all the pertinent official documents of the assassination
locked up until far into the twenty-first century? (Note: It is very unfortunate that the
movie JFK used such revolting language and depicted such abominable scenes to
tell the story of the assassination.)

Motion pictures were taken of President Kennedy during the assassination by one of
the bystanders, a Mr. Zapruder. These pictures, which were locked in a vault for five
years after the murder, show that the Warren Report could not possibly be true. The
first time the American public got a look at these pictures was in the movie JFK.
Why were the American people not permitted to view Mr. Zapruder’s film earlier?
Because the people would realize that the Government was lying.

Later there was a congressional investigation of the assassination. The results of
this investigation were also locked away so the citizens could not learn the truth
about this murder. Why, unless the government has something to hide and has been
lying to the people.

Presidential candidates and most other politicians running for office seem to be very
proficient at lying. The news media lie almost continually to manipulate the people
of the country.

Consider all the lies that were told about the Waco massacre and all the lies told
about the many scandals of the Clinton administration. Other well-known subjects
that the government continues to lie about are the destruction of the Federal
Building in Oklahoma City, and the destruction of the World Trade Center towers in
New York City.

Because of all the trouble and crime in society that the papacy’s subversion of the
United States has caused, the papacy will use the backlash against the crime and
trouble to have the government pass laws that enforce the papacy’s policies. As
people come to a general realization that civilization simply cannot ignore God and
morality and have any semblance of order and happiness, they will insist that the
government pass laws to restore morality and decency in society. The French
realized this after three and a half years of the unbridled excesses of the French
Revolution. The French people found that they simply could not reject the Bible, and
the government passed laws allowing the return of the Scriptures and religious
freedom. Incidentally, the French Revolution was the result of the people of France
rebelling against the iron handed rule of the papacy.

When the people of the United States, led by the papacy, become aware that the
cause of all the trouble and problems in society is the disregard of religious
morality, they will pressure Congress to pass laws supposedly to try to reverse
decades of damage to the United States. Unfortunately these laws will be designed
to legislate morality as defined by the papacy. If a society is going to have moral
principles, it will be because of proper education, not legislation.

These religious laws that the United States is going to pass in the near future will
cause the events of Revelation 13:12 to occur. “And he exercises all the power of
the first beast before him, and causes the earth and them that dwell therein to
worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.”

Here we see that the United States will soon exercise all the power of the first beast,
the papacy, and cause the people of earth to worship the papacy. What could the
United States do that would force people to worship the papacy? In direct defiance
of the Constitution, the United States will pass laws demanding obedience to papal
religious requirements.

We have seen that Sunday observance was instituted by the papacy and that those
who observe Sunday according to papal dictates instead of God’s Sabbath,
Saturday, are worshiping the papacy. The United States, therefore, will pass laws
requiring her citizens to observe Sunday as the day to be kept holy! (Remember that
the pope’s Jesuits have been infiltrating the U. S. Government and other
organizations for many decades.) That such a law would be passed in America may
seem very unlikely at this time; nevertheless this is Bible prophecy and it will,
indeed, be fulfilled exactly as verse twelve indicates. Actually, such laws are not as
farfetched as they might seem. Many states now have Sunday laws on the books.
These laws, usually referred to as “blue laws,” demand the closure of certain
businesses on Sunday.

Today the papacy and her many daughter religions, including non-Christian religions
and the New Age movement, are working to consolidate the churches of the world
into a single worldwide religion. Because of all the crime and violence in society and
the world, and because of the increasingly heavy hand of government regulation
and taxes, the people will come to realize that they need the restraints of religion in
order to preserve freedom and order, and they will combine the false religions of the
world into a vast one-world ecumenical religion that the Bible refers to as the false
prophet. Revelation 16:13,14 and other verses mention this false prophet. “And I
saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon [Satan], and
out of the mouth of the beast [the Catholic Church], and out of the mouth of the false
prophet [ecumenical Protestantism]. For they are the spirits of devils, working
miracles, that 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.”

The Sunday law will be one of the results of this false ecumenical religion. The
people will mistakenly pressure government to go against the first amendment to
the Constitution and legislate religious doctrine — in this case false religious
doctrine.

The last issue of contention in this world will be over religion, specifically over
which is the proper day on which to worship — Saturday, God’s holy Sabbath day, or
Sunday, the day set up by the papacy — and we will soon witness religious
persecution worse than the world has ever seen.

Because of its position of leadership that the United States enjoys in the world, and
because of the Jesuit influence, the rest of the world will follow its example and will
also pass religious laws requiring Sunday observance. The papacy will be the
driving force behind this great Sunday movement. Satan and the papacy know that
the scheme to establish a political New World Order through the United Nations to
take over the world will not work. Through use of the trouble caused by trying to
institute the New World Order, trouble caused by atheism, liberalism, socialism,
radicalism, and terrorism, they are conditioning the world for these worldwide
religious laws, especially the Sunday laws.

Continuing with the prophecy, Revelation 13:13 shows that the United States will
dazzle the world with its great feats. “And he does great wonders, so that he makes
fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men.” Has the United States
ever made fire come down from heaven in the sight of the whole world? During the
Second World War this country dropped atomic bombs on two cities in Japan, and
fire, indeed, came down from heaven. The reference to “great wonders” refers to
the exalted level of technological excellence this country enjoys and the scientific
marvels this country has accomplished.

Further describing the United States, Revelation 13:14 says, “And deceives them
that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles that 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, that had the wound by a sword, and did live.”

An image is a copy, a duplication. The first beast, the papacy, is a union of church
and state; the armies and police power of the state carry out the demands and
dictates of the church as in the Dark Ages. This union of church and state will be
duplicated by the United States. Catholics and other religious denominations in the
United States will join together in a great ecumenical alliance and will pass religious
laws including the national Sunday law. When this happens, the United States will
repudiate its glorious beginning of total civil and religious freedom and will become
a union of church and state in a vain attempt to dictate morality to its citizens. The
United States will use its police power to enforce obedience to the doctrines and
dictates of this great ecumenical alliance, thus becoming the image of the beast. We
see this beginning to happen today as the so-called religious right becomes more
powerful.

Before the end comes, this country will repudiate every principle of its Constitution.
The injunction of the first amendment to the Constitution prohibiting the government
from making any religious laws will not prevent this prophecy from being realized,
and the fires of religious persecution will again be kindled. Those who insist on
keeping God’s Sabbath day, Saturday, holy according to the Fourth Commandment
will suffer severe persecution, as the following verse shows.

Revelation 13:15: “And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that
the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not
worship the image of the beast should be killed.” Thus, we see that in America the
true Christians who continue to keep Saturday, God’s Sabbath day, holy will be in
danger of losing their lives. As impossible as this sounds to us today, remember
that the unconditional prophecies of the Bible never fail. Many of us will live to
witness this persecution, that will eventually become so severe that it will be a
matter of life or death, and many people will be killed. “. . . The time will come, that
whoever kills you will think that he does God service.” (John 16:2)

We have recently seen the colossal abuse of governmental power against a
religious sect in Waco, Texas. Consider how much of our Constitution had been
repudiated in that fiasco. Without due process of law and without a trial, many
people including women and young children were murdered in this despicable
abuse of power by our government, that was shockingly similar to the Gestapo
tactics used in Hitler’s Germany. Virtually every thing the government and the news
media said about this sect and the military operation in Waco was a lie, told to try to
justify the government’s actions. Before the government was finished with this
operation, they tried to bulldoze all the evidence into oblivion.

Satan is planning to cause unbelievable trouble on the earth. This trouble will take
many forms, from calamities of nature to political and civil unrest. The increase in
the frequency and severity of earthquakes, hurricanes and tornadoes testifies that
this trouble is already starting. Eventually the people who keep God’s Sabbath day
holy will be blamed for this trouble. The claim will be made that God is angry
because this small group of people refuses to obey the Sunday law. People will
claim that the trouble is the result, and if the world were rid of the Sabbath-keepers
the trouble would cease. Thus the Sabbath-keepers, God’s true people, are to be
killed.

Satan has been trying for nearly 6,000 years to get mankind to break God’s laws. He
has tried enticement with sinful pleasures. He has tried deception to convince
mankind that the wrong way is the correct way. He has infiltrated his ministers
(Jesuits) into the churches. He has used force. He used communism in an attempt to
remove all traces of the Word of God from the earth. But no matter what he has
done, there have always been a few people who have been true to God. In these last
days of earth’s history the devil is getting desperate, for he knows that he is going to
die, and he can see that his end is very near. “Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and
of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he
knows that he has but a short time.” (Revelation 12:12). Once more, in desperation,
Satan is going to employ force, this time to a degree never before attempted, in an
effort to exterminate every one of Christ’s true Sabbath-keeping Christians.

Tactics that the United States will use in this religious persecution to suppress
liberty of conscience are described in Revelation 13:16,17: “And he causes all, both
small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or
in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or
the name of the beast, or the number of his name.” The mark of the beast; what is it?

Great economic pressure will be brought to bear on the people who remain true to
God and who continue to observe Saturday, His holy Sabbath day. These people will
be totally isolated economically from society. They will not be able to hold a job;
they will not be able to buy groceries; they will not be able to sell anything in order
to obtain food or anything else they need unless they reject God and start keeping
Sunday. They will be under extreme pressure to yield their faith to the papacy and
to the devil, for the entire world will be arrayed against them. Imagine what life will
be like for these people who refuse to receive the mark of the beast. This will be a
time of severe trouble, and many who are not sincere will succumb to this extreme
economic pressure. Then, since some will remain true to God and continue to obey
His Fourth Commandment and keep Saturday, His Sabbath day, holy, the ultimate
punishment will be decreed: these people shall be put to death.

On the other hand, God’s warning against receiving the mark of the beast is the
most severe warning given in the entire Bible. It is found in Revelation 14:9-11. “And
the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast
and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, The same shall
drink of the wine of the wrath of God, that is poured out without mixture into the cup
of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence
of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: And the smoke of their torment
ascends up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the
beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name.”

Those who receive the mark of the beast will continue to lead normal lives for a
short time before the time of trouble, the seven last plagues, begins. They will be
able to go to work and buy the necessities and comforts of life, but they will not be
able to face the Lord Jesus when He returns to this earth.
