Roman Catholicism is the Whore of Babylon

 

'And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters: with whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication. So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: and upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration. And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns. The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is. And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth. And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space. And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition. And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast. These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast. These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful. And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues. And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire. For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled. And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.' 

Revelation 17:1-18

Roman Catholicism is the Whore of Babylon

And there followed another angel saying: "Babylon is fallen is fallen that great city because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication." 

Now what is the wine wine represents false doctrine in Scripture wine is a mocker strong drink is raging
and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise. 

The effect of this wine isdeception because it is fermented wine, which leads people away from the truth
so in contrast to the first angel's message which presents true doctrine Babylon is preaching wine or false doctrine.

The darkness of night obscures from view the truth about the world around us. Confusion like the darkness has concealed from us the truth about the character of God.

False doctrines and ideas are likethe trees of the forest that change with the seasons they blow about in the wind and rise and fall through the centuries.

There's only one way to dispel the darkness and that is with light. Peter tells us we have a more sure Word of Prophecy where unto ye do well that you take heed as unto a light that shineth in a dark place and with a light from these prophecies we are able to identify this system called Babylon, the system of Babylon is reflected by this woman uh in Revelation chapter 17.

So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet-colored Beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.

The first three symbols that help us to identify Babylon are the Woman, the Beast and the seven heads in order to arrive at a correct understanding of these symbols we must allow the Bible to define them for us so here's what God has to say about the prophetic symbol of a woman.

I have likened the daughter of Zion to a comely and delicate woman. Zion was the name given to the people of God as we read in Isaiah say unto Zion thou art My people. So in the Old Testament a woman is used by God as a symbol to represent His people in the New Testament a woman still is used to represent God's people in the form of his church, for this cause shall a man leave his father and mother
and shall be joined unto his wife and they too shall be one flesh this is a great mystery but I speak concerning Christ in the church,

In the book of Revelation there are two women one is a virgin dressed in white representing God's church and the other woman named Babylon is a harlot meaning she represents a counterfeit church and
she is the one sitting upon a beast. Once again allowing the Bible to interpret its own symbols we turn to the book of Daniel to define the symbol of the beast. The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth according to Daniel, a beast is a symbol for a kingdom or a nation, since the Bible uses a woman as a symbol for a church and the beast for a symbol of a nation then this symbol of a woman sitting upon a beast is a symbol of a church in control of a nation or a kingdom in other words this nation is
both a church and state power. Next John says that this beast has seven heads and the Bible tells us what
these heads represent just six verses later and here is the mind which hath wisdom the seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman siteth the fact that this woman sits upon this beast with seven heads tells us this church and state power is located near seven mountains john goes on to describe
this woman in detail and the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet color and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of
abominations and filthiness of her fornication and upon her forehead was a name written mystery Babylon the great the mother of harlots and abominations of the earth. 

Our fourth clue is that this woman or church named Babylon is described as a harlot meaning she has committed adultery against God by forsaking His covenant so this church does not represent God's people, instead it represents a counterfeit church. Our fifth characteristic is the woman's appearance she is described being a raid with purple and scarlet colors having allowed the Bible to define its own
symbols we see God telling us Babylon is a church and state power located around seven mountains and it is a counterfeit church that appears primarily in purple and scarlet colors there's only one church that fits this definitive description the Roman Catholic Church, also known as the papacy. So let's investigate the evidence for this conclusion: Vatican City is the only church and state nation in the world it is known as the city on seven hills and its primary colors are purple and scarlet.

During the Protestant Reformation, many of the reformers, including Thomas Cranmer, John Wesley, William Tinddale, John Wycliffe, Felipe Melanchton, John Hus, Martin Luther and hundreds of others, all concluded the papacy was the harlot of Babylon identified in the Scriptures.
I for my part will set free my own mind and deliver my conscience by declaring aloud to the pope and to all papists that the papacy is in truth nothing else than the kingdom of Babylon and the very antichrist for who is the man of sin and the son of predition but he who by his teaching and his ordinances increases the sin and predition of souls in the church while he yet sits in the church as if he were God. 

All these conditions have now for many ages been fulfilled by the papal tyranny first principles of the reformation by Martin Luther page the second angel's message is a warning against the wine of Babylon and the intoxicating influence of its false doctrines which have deceived the entire world.

Yes, even the Christian world this great feat was not accomplished at once but subtly over several centuries when you think about Jesus's statement just before he left he said "This gospel shall be preached in all the world and then the end will come." We see the disciples going out preaching this Gospel but we see that the end did not come the reason I believe is because that Gospel became tainted and a different gospel began to go out into all the world in part two of this series. 

We saw how the everlasting gospel and the everlasting covenant are revealed through the sanctuary but now we're going to take a look at a prophecy in the book of Daniel where the sanctuary comes under attack that's what's really being described here an attack on the Gospel and the covenant by replacing it
with a counterfeit covenant according to Daniel 8, the Bible talks about this little horn power that would defile the sanctuary yay he magnified himself even to the prince of the host and by him the daily sacrifice was taken away and the place of his sanctuary was cast down and in host was given him against the daily sacrifice by reason of transgression and it cast down the truth to the ground and
it practiced and prospered and the little horn there's no doubt as you look at the sequence of the chapter that it's speaking about the Roman Catholic papacy.

Daniel's prophecy is telling us that the papacy would magnify himself and exalt himself even above Christ the prince of the host and by the papacy the truths represented by the sanctuary and Jesus ministry in heaven would be cast to the ground instead of looking to Jesus as our high priest in the heavenly sanctuary the people were taught to look to human priests in a counterfeit sanctuary upon the earth.

The Pagan Origin Of St. Patrick's Day

St. Patrick's Day is celebrated around the world every year on March 17th. This holiday is usually associated with the color green, shamrocks, drunkenness and Irish culture. However, what most people don't know is that St. Patrick's Day has deep demonic pagan roots that date back to pre-Catholic Ireland. 

Psalm 96:5  For all the gods of the nations are idols: but the Lord made the heavens. 

Origins of the Pagan Festival

Before Roman Catholicism arrived in Ireland, the ancient Celts celebrated the spring equinox, which falls on March 21st, with a festival known as Ostara. This festival was a celebration of the end of winter and the start of the spring season. The Celts believed that during the spring equinox, the veil between the physical world and the spiritual world was at its thinnest, and they would perform rituals to honor their gods and goddesses.

One of the most important deities in the Celtic pantheon was Eostre, the goddess of spring and fertility. Her name is believed to have given rise to the modern English word "Easter." The Celts would offer sacrifices and perform other rituals to honor Eostre and ensure a successful harvest in the coming months.

The first St. Patrick's Day parade was held in Boston in 1737, and the holiday became an official Irish holiday in 1903.

Many of the traditions associated with St. Patrick's Day have pagan roots. For example, the color green is associated with St. Patrick's Day because it represents the rebirth of spring. In pagan times, green was also associated with fertility and the natural world. The shamrock, which is now a symbol of Ireland, was originally a sacred plant to the Celts and was believed to have protective powers.

The Importance of Fire

Fire was also an important part of the demonic Ostara festival, and its importance continued even after the arrival of Christianity. Bonfires were lit on hilltops to welcome the spring and ward off evil spirits. In some parts of Ireland, people still light bonfires on St. Patrick's Day.

Another tradition associated with St. Patrick's Day is the wearing of green. The Celts believed that wearing green would protect them from evil spirits, and the color is still associated with luck and good fortune. In Ireland, it is customary to wear a small bunch of shamrocks on St. Patrick's Day, which is a nod to the plant's original significance.

The Role of Music and Dance

Music and dance have always been important parts of Irish culture, and they played a role in the Ostara festival as well. The Celts would sing and dance around the bonfire to celebrate the arrival of spring. Today, traditional Irish music and dance are still an important part of St. Patrick's Day celebrations.

The Irish step dance, which is characterized by quick, precise movements of the feet and legs, is perhaps the most famous form of Irish dance. It originated in the 18th century and is now performed around the world committing the sin of drunkenness.

1 Corinthians 6:10  

Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.

St. Patrick's Day is a holiday that is celebrated around the world, but few people know about its demonic heathen origins. True Christians should not celebrate this pagan holiday celebrated for the demons. 

Deuteronomy 12:29-32 

29 When the Lord thy God shall cut off the nations from before thee, whither thou goest to possess them, and thou succeedest them, and dwellest in their land;

30 Take heed to thyself that thou be not snared by following them, after that they be destroyed from before thee; and that thou enquire not after their gods, saying, How did these nations serve their gods? even so will I do likewise.

31 Thou shalt not do so unto the Lord thy God: for every abomination to the Lord, which he hateth, have they done unto their gods; for even their sons and their daughters they have burnt in the fire to their gods.

32 What thing soever I command you, observe to do it: thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it.

Rome The Whore of Babylon: By their fruits you shall know them

Matthew 7:16–20

16 By their fruits you shall know them. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?

17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit, and the evil tree bringeth forth evil fruit.

18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can an evil tree bring forth good fruit.

19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit, shall be cut down, and shall be cast into the fire.

20 Wherefore by their fruits you shall know them. 

21 Not every one that saith to me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven: but he that doth the will of my Father who is in heaven, he shall enter into the kingdom of heaven.

22 Many will say to me in that day: Lord, Lord, have not we prophesied in thy name, and cast out devils in thy name, and done many miracles in thy name?

23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, you that work iniquity. 

Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues (Revelation 18:4).

The Great Apostasy, 11th Century: An exposé of some of the most wicked heads of the Beast, the Roman Church, the Whore of Babylon predicted in the Book of Apocalypse. The most evil beings in history, apostates, heretics, idolaters, homosexual perverts, adulterers, murderers and thieves. Rome the cesspool of corruption, the See of the Antichrist.


Alexander VI (1492-1503)

Background: If greed is good, then Alexander VI was the "best pope". He literally bought his way into becoming pope, bankrolled by France and Genoa and his own merchant family.

Alexander VI, Rodrigo Borgia. Perhaps the most well known of the popes behaving badly, Pope Alexander VI built an empire for himself by defrocking his own son, who was a cardinal, and making him into a duke, and then marrying his daughter to several princes and dukes (after some untimely but very convenient deaths which made her a widow more than once) in order to gain land and power. He was gregarious and good humored as he was cunning. Accused of incest, theft, murder, and intrigue, and a man so obese that his own funeral needed to be hurried before his bloated body exploded from heat and weight.


Lucrezia and some of Alexander's many spawn.

Why He is Awful: Alexander VI became the Halliburton and Dick Cheney of the papacy, swindling his way onto the throne with cash and selling the papacy a piece at a time to warring empires in Europe. While he was raking in the wealth and involving the Holy See in French and Italian political intrigues, he was also amassing women and power for his family.

One of his most infamous stunts was to use his attractive daughter Lucrezia, whom he supposedly had an affair with, as bait for wealthy merchants. When a rich merchant prince would visit Rome Alexander VI would introduce his daughter, have her seduce them, and then marry his daughter off to the merchant for a vast dowry. Unfortunately for the merchant, Alexander VI was the pope and got to decide who was married and who wasn't married. As soon as a wealthier merchant rolled into Rome Lucrezia's marriage would end and she would become available to the next highest bidder.

Alexander VI was also wildly unpopular with devout Catholics because he never made any attempt to be religious. He was a 100% secular pope, ignoring all of the rules and traditions of the church. He married, had children, and sired countless children outside of marriage.

He also held extravagant parties that often tended to become orgies. These parties were so intense that one of them, known as the Banquet of Chestnuts, is actually a part of recorded papal history. 50 prostitutes would bring in baskets of chestnuts and empty them out on the floor. The women's clothes would then be auctioned off and once they were naked they would crawl around on the floor picking up the chestnuts. Then the members of the clergy, including the pope, would have sex with the prostitutes and for prizes. He was involved in the demonic practice of Astrology, like Paul II.

According to historian William Manchester, "Servants kept score of each man's orgasms, for the pope greatly admired virility and measured a man's machismo by his ejaculative capacity."

When Alexander VI's political intrigues ran him into financial trouble, he instituted a brutal pogrom against the wealthy, confiscating riches under the thin guise of criminal enforcement. If the wealthy resisted they were put to death. These pogroms fueled instability and eventually led to Alexander's involvement in a series of unfortunate military struggles. Assassins, paid by Alexander's many enemies, made repeated attempts on him. In 1503 they finally succeeded with a plate of poisoned food.

John Burchard, a sort of living papal Captain's Log, recorded Alexander VI's gruesome death.

"Alexander VI's stomach became swollen and turned to liquid, while his face became wine-colored and his skin began to peel off. Finally his stomach and bowels bled profusely."

Alexander VI died soon after the poisoning. His last words were, "Wait a minute."

John XII (955-964)

Background: If the 16th century was the renaissance of shitty popes, the 10th century was the true dark age of the papacy. Popes during this time period were basically Genghis Kahn with a prettier hat. Pope John XII assumed the throne of Saint Peter at the seemingly tender age of 18, but back in the 10th century people lived to be about 25, so that was no excuse for the horrible reign that was to follow.

Typical papal whores, breast naked.

Why He is Awful: Pope John XII was a notorious sex fiend. He had sex with women and men in the papal palace and when visitors refused his attentions he went ahead and raped them anyway. The same hospitality was extended to his two young sisters. He held massive orgies and took particular pleasure in defiling holy sites, like the tombs of Saint Peter and Saint Paul, with his sinful acts.
A list of crimes John XIII was accused of was included in the Patrologia Latina, which I assume is some ancient text of absolute bastard popes. These crimes are too numerous to mention here, but a few highlights include:

Ordaining a 10 year old as bishop
Having sex with his niece (I guess raping his sisters didn't count)
Turning the sacred palace into a brothel
Castrating and then murdering a cardinal
Blinding and then murdering his confessor
Toasting to the devil and invoking pagan gods during dice games
Refusing to make the sign of the cross, which seems like a job requirement for the pope


Pope John XII was no stranger to political intrigue. He granted Otto I of Germany the title of emperor in order to protect himself from his political enemies, but Otto I began to take more power than John XII was comfortable with. He conspired against his supposed ally, but Otto I returned to Rome and deposed John XII from the papacy and installed a puppet pope.

John XII fled into exile, but gathered an army of allies and mercenaries. He returned to Rome, ran off the puppet pope, and took back his title. Otto I mustered an army to finish off John XII once and for all, but he was too late. By the time Otto I arrived in Rome Pope John XII was dead. It is rumored that he was killed by a jealous husband when the man caught John XII in bed with his wife. By the way, his son became Pope John XIII and died the exact same way.


Pope John XII was an evil person. There is no getting around it. If he is not the most awful pope of all time, he is certainly in contention as the most evil.



Paul III (1534-1549)
 
Background: Pope Paul III, predecessor to Julius III, reigned during a particularly turbulent time for the Catholic Church and he made some difficult decisions. His edicts against slavery in the New World were the source of a great deal of conflict and he had to grapple with entrenched corruption in the Church, the formation of the Church of England, and the agitation of Martin Luther. He ruthlessly fought Protestantism and was known for having men strangled and then burned.

Why He is Awful: Pope Paul III wasn't just a bad pope, he was a bad dude all around. He murdered relatives, including poisoning his mother and niece, to inherit the family fortune. This sort of power was what it took to muscle his way to becoming pope in the disastrous aftermath of Clement VII. The most famous anecdote about Paul III's ruthlessness revolves around a theological dispute between two cardinals and a Polish bishop. When the argument wore on, Paul III had all three men hacked to death with swords.

Paul III was also notoriously corrupt, despite his supposed anti-corruption stance. Any position in the church was for sale and he famously took control of some 45,000 Roman prostitutes and then took a cut of their earnings. That's right, Paul III, the world's first pimp pope. Paul III's most well-known lover was an attractive young lady named Costanza Farnese.

She was the pope's daughter.



Julius III (1550-1555)

Background: Julius was one of the rare duly-elected popes of the 16th century, most having come to power through intrigues or even murder. At the time, being pope was to the richest and most powerful families of Italy much like being President of the United States is to the Bushes and the Clintons. Compared to these families, Julius III was like the war hero of cardinals.

Decades before becoming pope, Julius was traded as a hostage by the dumb and cowardly Pope Clement VII to Emperor Charles V during the sacking of Rome. Julius would have been killed, but in a complicated twist Cardinal Pompeo Colonna, enemy of Clement VII and rogue commando cardinal, rescued the hostages including Julius III from the clutches of the Emperor. It was the original special ops mission. Despite such a dramatic history, Julius III would go on to become one of the vilest popes ever to sit on the throne of Saint Peter.

Why He is Awful: Once he was elected pope, Julius III looted the papal coffers to renovate his mansion in Rome. The Villa Giula, as it is known, became the full-time residence of Julius III and the pope oversaw the construction. He hired only the best (including Michelangelo) and had little interest in the affairs of the pope. Following on the heels of meddlesome popes like Clement VII, you might think this was a good thing, but Julius III had some unfortunate uses for all that free time.

In addition to the wholesale looting of the Catholic treasury so that he could flip his house, Julius III was known to have a thing for younger men. Alright, he liked to have sex with kids. Okay, he was infamous for having sex with kids.


That mansion of his was decorated with statues and frescoes depicting kids having sex with each other. Julius III didn't just let slip that he molested kids, he flaunted it. He decorated his house to flaunt it. He didn't need Martin Bashir to ask him about sleeping with some crippled white kid, Julius III was having Michelangelo chisel sculptures of mouth rape. He was blinging with child porn.

Controversial poet and scholar Giovanni Della Casa wrote an poem about Julius III in which Della Casa defended the practice of sodomizing young boys. The poem was known throughout Italy and was written while Julius III was the pope. That's like the 16th century equivalent of having a top 5 song on the Billboard charts name-dropping you as a child rapist.

All of these things combined would easily give Julius a spot on the list, but his masterpiece of popery came when Julius mixed business and pleasure. He had a tendency to appoint hot underage studs to the position of cardinal, but took things to a whole new level when he adopted a beggar. He raised the kid as a sort of foul-mouthed whore that hung out in Rome and was bestowed with the title of cardinal-nephew, which sounds and is creepy, but was also an extremely powerful and prestigious position in the church. Julius III and his boytoy inspired more than a century of anti-papacy sentiment throughout Europe.
