Conspiracy Theory or Fulfillment of Prophecy
By: Amazing Discoveries
Today there are many people in the world and in religious bodies
that use the term “Conspiracy Theory.” In fact the word conspiracy
is often followed by the word theory, and they are rarely seen
separated. Many times the phrase is valid.
Today there are many people in the world and in religious bodies
that use the term “Conspiracy Theory.” In fact the word
conspiracy is often followed by the word theory, and they are
rarely seen separated. Many times the phrase is valid. If you type
that phrase in almost any Internet search engine, you will find
things that are very improbable at best, and some items are even
quite comical. These theories are often purported without one iota
of documented evidence. But, does that mean that anytime we
hear something out of the ordinary, we automatically, habitually,
without hesitation loft it into the category of the ominous, dubious,
title of…”Conspiracy Theory?”
Separating Fact from Theory
Webster’s New World Dictionary defines a theory as, A speculative
plan, or a conjecture or guess. So, if you were to substitute the
word theory here it would be a “Conspiracy Guess.” And again,
let me reiterate that there are many “Conspiracy Theories” out
there in the world today. But, what if, there was evidence
supporting a conspiracy? What if the Bible speaks of such a
conspiracy? What if the pen of inspiration declares a conspiracy?
What if official writings from international fraternities and
organizations coincide with inspiration that indeed all the world will
wonder after the beast? Should we abandon such a striking
fulfillment of Prophecy on the altar of a “Conspiracy Theory?”
Today, there are some, who strike hard against anyone who may
be willing in exposing these disturbing facts. I have found an
interesting phenomenon take place with those who have not
studied these matters for themselves, usually put a label on
anything that they have not heard as a “Conspiracy Theory.” And
by so doing their ignorance concerning the fulfillment of prophecy
is seen, while their artificial intellectualism is fed.
Here are some statements from inspiration that show the origin of
this message that is to be given to the world…
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. (See Appendix.) 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.
To give them greater power, a bull was issued re-establishing the
inquisition. (See Appendix.) Notwithstanding the general
abhorrence with which it was regarded, even in
Catholic countries, this terrible tribunal was again set up by
popish rulers, and atrocities too terrible to bear the light of day
were repeated in its secret dungeons. In many countries,
thousands upon thousands of the very flower of the nation, the
purest and noblest, the most intellectual and highly educated,
pious and devoted pastors, industrious and patriotic citizens,
brilliant scholars, talented artists, skillful artisans, were slain or
forced to flee to other lands.
Such were the means which Rome had invoked to quench the
light of the Reformation, to withdraw from men the Bible, and to
restore the ignorance and superstition of the Dark Ages. (The
Great Controversy p. 234-235)
And this is the religion which Protestants are beginning to look
upon with so much favor, and which will eventually be united with
Protestantism. This union will not, however, be effected by a
change in Catholicism; for Rome never changes. She claims
infallibility. It is Protestantism that will change. The adoption of
liberal ideas on its part will bring it where it can clasp the hand of
Catholicism. "The Bible, the Bible, is the foundation of our faith,"
was the cry of Protestants in Luther's time, while the Catholics
cried, "The Fathers, custom, tradition." Now many Protestants find
it difficult to prove their doctrines from the Bible, and yet they have
not the moral courage to accept the truth which involves a cross;
therefore they are fast coming to the ground of Catholics, and,
using the best arguments they have to evade the truth, cite the
testimony of the Fathers, and the customs and precepts of men.
Yes, the Protestants of the nineteenth century are fast
approaching the Catholics in their infidelity concerning the
Scriptures. But there is just as wide a gulf today between Rome
and the Protestantism of Luther, Cranmer, Ridley, Hooper, and
the noble army of martyrs, as there was when these men made
the protest which gave them the name of Protestants. {RH, June
1, 1886 par. 13}
As we can see there was and is a conspiracy against the
Reformation. “But, we don’t need to know about all these things
right?” “We should not focus on these things, we should preach
the Three Angels’ Messages!” Please notice with me the following
quotation…
In every generation God has sent His servants to rebuke sin, both
in the world and in the church. But the people desire smooth
things spoken to them, and the pure, unvarnished truth is not
acceptable. Many reformers, in entering upon their work,
determined to exercise great prudence in attacking the sins of the
church and the nation. They hoped, by the example of a pure
Christian life, to lead the people back to the doctrines of the Bible.
But the Spirit of God came upon them as it came upon Elijah,
moving him to rebuke the sins of a wicked king and an apostate
people; they could not refrain from preaching the plain utterances
of the Bible-- doctrines which they had been reluctant to present.
They were impelled to zealously declare the truth and the danger
which threatened souls. The words which the Lord gave them they
uttered, fearless of consequences, and the people were
compelled to hear the warning.
(The Great Controversy 606)
Thus the message of the third angel will be proclaimed. As the
time comes for it to be given with greatest power, the Lord will
work through humble instruments, leading the minds of those who
consecrate themselves to His service. The laborers will be
qualified rather by the unction of His Spirit than by the training of
literary institutions. Men of faith and prayer will be constrained to
go forth with holy zeal, declaring the words which God gives them.
The sins of Babylon will be laid open. The fearful results of
enforcing the observances of the church by civil authority, the
inroads of spiritualism, the stealthy but rapid progress of the papal
power--all will be unmasked. By these solemn warnings the
people will be stirred. Thousands upon thousands will listen who
have never heard words like these. In amazement they hear the
testimony that Babylon is the church, fallen because of her errors
and sins, because of her rejection of the truth sent to her from
heaven. As the people go to their former teachers with the eager
inquiry, Are these things so? the ministers present fables,
prophesy smooth things, to soothe their fears and quiet the
awakened conscience. But since many refuse to be satisfied with
the mere authority of men and demand a plain "Thus saith the
Lord," the popular ministry, like the Pharisees of old, filled with
anger as their authority is questioned, will denounce the message
as of Satan and stir up the sin-loving multitudes to revile and
persecute those who proclaim it.
(The Great Controversy 607)
Wow! Now more than ever, I am excited to be living in these last
hours of our world! Brothers and Sisters, Jesus is coming soon!
It is a privilege to see prophecy being fulfilled. Those who have
objectively, without prejudice, have watched the Total Onslaught
series in its entirety, know for certain, that this is not a theory, but
this is a fulfillment of prophecy. I encourage you dear reader, if
you haven’t taken these issues seriously, and have thrown them
into the “Conspiracy Theory” rubbish bin, that you take a humble
step back and investigate how the papal power has indeed
progressed rapidly through stealth, because soon the whole world
will know. And I hope and pray that some of God’s professed
people, will still not be crying, “Conspiracy Theory!” Let me close
this article with a passage from the book of Acts 5, v. 34-39…
Then stood there up one in the council, a Pharisee, named
Gamaliel, a doctor of the law, had in reputation among all the
people, and commanded to put the apostles forth a little space;
35 And said unto them, Ye men of Israel, take heed to yourselves
what ye intend to do as touching these men.
36 For before these days rose up Theudas, boasting himself to be
somebody; to whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined
themselves: who was slain; and all, as many as obeyed him, were
scattered, and brought to nought.
37 After this man rose up Judas of Galilee in the days of the
taxing, and drew away much people after him: he also perished;
and all, even as many as obeyed him, were dispersed.
38 And now I say unto you, Refrain from these men, and let them
alone: for if this counsel or this work be of men, it will come to
nought:
39 But if it be of God, ye cannot overthrow it; lest haply ye be
found even to fight against God.
This is the bottom line. If all this talk about secret societies and
the Jesuits and the role in which they play, if it is all conjecture, if
it is all hogwash, then it will collapse. But, if it is true, it will lead
thousands to the realization that the world is a giant labyrinth of
deception. That was my experience. I was a total atheist; I
thought Christians were narrowed minded bigots who needed
some sort of comfort before their death. But, through the
providential leadings of the Holy Spirit, I learned that, yes there
are secret societies, therefore there is a devil, and therefore there
must be a God. And I was led to the foot of the cross, to Jesus
who even while I was a sinner loved me and gave Himself for me.
Instantly, my lifestyle changed, and I recognized that Jesus Christ
is the only hope for humanity. This is why it saddens my heart
that some are very quick in coloring anyone who uses the term,
Illuminati, New World Order, or the Jesuit Order, as an immediate
candidate for heretic.
In conclusion, there are many “conspiracy theories” blowing in the
wind, with no evidence to support them. There is however a
documented conspiracy taking place against the reformation. Let
us be very careful not to hastily call everything we hear a
“conspiracy theory” without first looking at the claims with the
lenses of the Bible and the Spirit of Prophecy. If it fails the test
then it is a “conspiracy theory” and should be rejected, but if it
passes the test, however unpopular it may be, it is truth for this
time, and a fulfillment of prophecy.
