Revelation 17 Table Revelation 17:1-18 1 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: 2 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. 3 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. 4 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: 5 And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. 6 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. 7 And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mys- tery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns. 8 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. 9 And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth. 10 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. 11 And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition. 12 And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no king- dom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast. 13 These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast. 14 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. 15 And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues. 16 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. 17 For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their king- dom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.

Revelation 17

Table Revelation 17:1-18

1

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:

2 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.

3

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.

4

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:

5 And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT,

THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.

6 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.

7

And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mys-

tery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads

and ten horns.

8

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.

9 And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains,

on which the woman sitteth.

10 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.

11 And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and

goeth into perdition.

12 And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no king-

dom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.

13 These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.

14

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.

15 And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are

peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.

16

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.

17 For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their king-

dom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.

Marian aspects of “...a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, hav-

ing seven heads and ten horns” Revelation 17:3.

1. Revelation 17:1-2, 6, 15, 18. Revelation 17:1-2, 15, 18 “...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...And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the

whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues...And the woman which

thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth” is the further angelic

description of Church Age and End Times Babylon revealed earlier and identified as Rome and

Roman Catholicism with judgement pronounced upon her in Revelation 14:8, 16:19 “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...And the great city was divided in-

to three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance be-

fore God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath.”

See www.timefortruth.co.uk/alan-oreilly/ Revelation 14, pp 4-5, Revelation 16 p 5.

Note in passing with respect to Revelation 17:15 “...The waters which thou sawest, where the

whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues” that in principle it could

be said of many men vulnerable to Rome’s seduction and thereby partial to fornication as Jacob

said of Reuben “Unstable as water, thou shalt not excel; because thou wentest up to thy fa-

ther’s bed; then defiledst thou it: he went up to my couch” Genesis 49:4.

Paul exhorts today’s believer to “Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth;

fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is

idolatry...Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them

that call on the Lord out of a pure heart” 2 Timothy 2:22.

“...that great city...great Babylon” Revelation 14:8, 16:19 is “...the great whore that sitteth up-

on many waters...peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues...that great city, which

reigneth over the kings of the earth” Revelation 17:1, 15, 18. She and her followers, worldwide

and at all levels, “Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are

worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them” Romans 1:32,

Page 3: Revelation 17 Table Revelation 17:1-18 · 2020. 8. 27. · Revelation 17 Table Revelation 17:1-18 1 And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with

do precisely the opposite of Paul’s exhortation, “For their rock is not as our Rock, even our en-

emies themselves being judges. For their vine is of the vine of Sodom, and of the fields of Go-

morrah: their grapes are grapes of gall, their clusters are bitter: Their wine is the poison of

dragons, and the cruel venom of asps” Deuteronomy 32:31-33.

For example they idolatrously exalt Peter not “...that spiritual Rock...and that Rock was Christ”

1 Corinthians 10:4.

See amazingdiscoveries.org/who-is-the-rock-on-which-jesus-said-he-would-build-his-church.

Note further as will be developed below John’s testimony “...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 won-

dered with great admiration” Revelation 17:6 with respect to James’ End Times rebuke of the

rich “Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon

you...Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and

shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days...Ye have

lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton; ye have nourished your hearts, as in a day of

slaughter. Ye have condemned and killed the just; and he doth not resist you” James 5:1, 3, 5-

6. John testifies that “...when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration” Revelation 17:6

because Rome is adept at coming across as benign like the enemies of Israel who got the right

rebuke though its effectiveness was for a time limited.

See Ezra 4:1-3 “Now when the adversaries of Judah and Benjamin heard that the children of

the captivity builded the temple unto the LORD God of Israel; Then they came to Zerubbabel,

and to the chief of the fathers, and said unto them, Let us build with you: for we seek your

God, as ye do; and we do sacrifice unto him since the days of Esarhaddon king of Assur,

which brought us up hither. But Zerubbabel, and Jeshua, and the rest of the chief of the fa-

thers of Israel, said unto them, Ye have nothing to do with us to build an house unto our God;

but we ourselves together will build unto the LORD God of Israel, as king Cyrus the king of

Persia hath commanded us.”

See www.the-bible-antichrist.com/roman-catholic-church-persecution.html on Rome’s persecu-

tion of Christians while she professes to be Christian.

Rome and her followers will incur the consequences of their cruelty, deception, fornication, hy-

pocrisy, idolatry and persecution according to “...the judgment of the great whore that sitteth

upon many waters...” Revelation 17:1. Noting again Colossians 3:5 and Galatians 6:7 “Be not

deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap” see Deu-

teronomy 32:35, Colossians 3:6, Revelation 6:15-17 “To me belongeth vengeance, and recom-

pence; their foot shall slide in due time: for the day of their calamity is at hand, and the things

that shall come upon them make haste...For which things’ sake the wrath of God cometh on

the children of disobedience...And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men,

and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid

themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains; And said to the mountains and

rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the

wrath of the Lamb: For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?”

See further remarks on “...the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters...”

Revelation 17:1 under Revelation 17:15-16.

For now, today’s believer should therefore always keep in mind Psalm 93:5 “Thy testimonies are

very sure: holiness becometh thine house, O LORD, for ever.”

2. Revelation 17:3-5. Revelation 17:3-5 show that:

Rome is barren spiritually and no fit place for folk to dwell in. See the plight of Rome’s follow-

ers spiritually and the Lord’s deliverance of those of them that turn to Him, noting the exhorta-

tion for praise to God of Psalm 107:8 that today’s believer can apply, in Psalm 107:4-9 “They

wandered in the wilderness in a solitary way; they found no city to dwell in. Hungry and

thirsty, their soul fainted in them. Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and he de-

livered them out of their distresses. And he led them forth by the right way, that they might go

to a city of habitation. Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his

wonderful works to the children of men! For he satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the

hungry soul with goodness.”

Rome is satanic spiritually and the devil’s whore in imitation of “...the bride, the Lamb’s wife”

Revelation 21:9. See www.timefortruth.co.uk/alan-oreilly/ Mystery of Iniquity – Summary Over-

view pp 7-8 and these extracts.

John confirms that “the beast” is a man in Revelation 13:18 “...Let him that hath understanding

count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred

threescore and six.” However “that man of sin...revealed, the son of perdition” 2 Thessaloni-

ans 2:3 “the beast” is a man who is the devil incarnate as these scriptures show. As shown be-

low “the beast which I saw...like unto a leopard” is coloured red after his death and resurrection

to become “that man of sin...revealed, the son of perdition” 2 Thessalonians 2:3 showing that

he is Satan incarnate just as Judas “the son of perdition” John 17:12, though himself “a devil”

John 6:70, was later literally indwelt by Satan according to the description applied only to Judas

Iscariot in scripture...

“Then entered Satan into Judas surnamed Iscariot....And after the sop Satan entered into him.

Then said Jesus unto him, That thou doest, do quickly” Luke 22:3, John 13:27.

“And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven

heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads...And the great dragon was cast out,

that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out

into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him...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 blas-

phemy, having seven heads and ten horns” Revelation 12:3, 9, 17:3. The beast has the same

colour as the dragon.

That “scarlet coloured beast” “that man of sin...revealed, the son of perdition” 2 Thessalonians

2:3 the resurrected Judas, the devil incarnate by his satanic power and authority exercised ex ca-

thedra, Revelation 13:2, “made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof”

Isaiah 14:17.

Note that as indicated above “that man of sin...revealed, the son of perdition” as the resurrected

Judas and the devil incarnate will temporarily come back from “his own place” Acts 1:25 and

under God’s judgement return to it in that “...the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless

pit...shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition” Revelation 11:7, 17:8 as Dan-

iel testifies Daniel 7:11 “...I beheld even till the beast was slain, and his body destroyed, and

given to the burning flame.”

Rome is immensely wealthy materially and a hoard-

er of her vast wealth after the manner of Sodom

which, in spite of her apologists’ vehement protesta-

tions to the contrary, emphasise “...her hand full of

abominations and filthiness of her fornication”

Revelation 17:4. See, noting Sodom’s end that will

typify Rome’s end, Ezekiel 16:49-50 “Behold, this

was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom, pride, fulness

of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her

and in her daughters, neither did she strengthen

the hand of the poor and needy. And they were

haughty, and committed abomination before me:

therefore I took them away as I saw good.”

See humansarefree.com/2012/03/christian-church-is-biggest-financial.html.

Noting Revelation 17:5 “And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON

THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH” all

of Rome’s daughters are spiritually barren, satanic and abominably greedy after the manner of

Proverbs 29:12 “If a ruler hearken to lies, all his servants are wicked.”

See www.chick.com/products/tract?stk=1077&ue=m

Subject – Catholicism

The Catholic Church is mother to four great false religions.

She will do anything to keep you from Jesus.

Like Jeremiah today’s believer should give no quarter to

Rome and her abominations. “...and thou hadst a whore’s

forehead, thou refusedst to be ashamed” Jeremiah 3:3.

3. Revelation 17:7-14. See remarks above on Mystery of Iniquity – Summary Overview pp 7-8 and

extracts with respect to Revelation 11:7, 17:8. Note the dire warning of Revelation 17:8 “...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.” The fate

of those followers of “the beast that was, and is not, and yet is…whose names were not written

in the book of life from the foundation of the world” is worse than that revealed in Exodus

32:33 “And the LORD said unto Moses, Whosoever hath sinned against me, him will I blot out

of my book.” Insofar as “…behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salva-

tion” 2 Corinthians 6:2, sinners like those in Exodus 32:33 may repent and get their names re-

entered permanently in God’s book “…with Clement also, and with other my fellowlabourers,

whose names are in the book of life” Philippians 4:3 by applying Acts 16:31 “…Believe on the

Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved…” By contrast, those in Revelation 17:8 will never

repent and of them Paul says “Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the

presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power” 2 Thessalonians 1:9. Each is like Ben-

hadad “a man whom I appointed to utter destruction” 1 Kings 20:42, 2 Kings 8:9-15.

Today’s believer should therefore focus on 2 Timothy 2:19, Jude 22-23 “Nevertheless the foun-

dation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let

every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity…And of some have compas-

sion, making a difference: And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire…” and 2

Timothy 2:26 “…that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil…” set via those

“…whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world” where-

by “…many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be

evil spoken of” 2 Peter 2:2.

Revelation 17:9 “...The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth” is ex-

plicit with respect to the geographical location of “...MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT,

THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH” Revelation 17:5.

Only one location matches that description.

See www.jesus-is-lord.com/seven_mountains.htm and this extract.

The great CITY of Rome (located in Italy) has been long known as the, “City of the Seven

Hills” or the “City of Seven hills”. An excerpt from A Woman Rides the Beast by Dave Hunt

(p. 67, emphases ours) -

Only one city has for more than 2000 years been known as the city on seven hills. That city is

Rome. The Catholic Encyclopedia states: “It is within the city of Rome, called the city of

seven hills, that the entire area of Vatican State proper is now confined.”

Concerning “...The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth” today’s be-

liever can look forward to the Lord Jesus Christ as one “great mountain” putting them all down

at the Second Advent. See Daniel’s prophecy below and note that Daniel 2:34 “Thou sawest till

that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron

and clay, and brake them to pieces” effectively accounts for Revelation 17:14 “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.”

Note further with respect to Revelation 17:14 the Lord’s End Times victory declared by Psalm

110:5-6 “The Lord at thy right hand shall strike through kings in the day of his wrath. He

shall judge among the heathen, he shall fill the places with the dead bodies; he shall wound

the heads over many countries.”

The expression “...and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful” will be ad-

dressed in the study on Revelation 19. Daniel’s prophecy follows.

“Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet

that were of iron and clay, and brake them to pieces. Then was the iron, the clay, the brass,

the silver, and the gold, broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer

threshingfloors; and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them: and the

stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth...And in the

days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed:

and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all

these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever. Forasmuch as thou sawest that the stone was cut

out of the mountain without hands, and that it brake in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the

silver, and the gold; the great God hath made known to the king what shall come to pass here-

after: and the dream is certain, and the interpretation thereof sure” Daniel 2:34-35, 44-45.

Dr Ruckman in his commentary The Book of Revelation pp 469-473 explains the slight modifica-

tion to the seven crowned heads of the dragon in Revelation 12:3 that must be made to accom-

modate Revelation 17:10-11 “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.”

See www.timefortruth.co.uk/alan-oreilly/ Revelation 13 p 3.

Again, see Mystery of Iniquity – Summary Overview pp 7-8 and extracts with respect to Revela-

tion 17:11 “And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and

goeth into perdition.”

Concerning Revelation 17:12-13 “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” see remarks above on

Revelation 17:14 and Daniel 2:34-35, 44-45. What is of particular significance with respect to

Revelation 17:12-14 is the folly of following the wrong leader, which even today’s believer

should assiduously note, as revealed in Jeremiah 13:16 “Give glory to the LORD your God, be-

fore he cause darkness, and before your feet stumble upon the dark mountains, and, while ye

look for light, he turn it into the shadow of death, and make it gross darkness.”

4. Revelation 17:16-18. See remarks on Revelation 17:1-2, 6, 15, 18 with respect to Revelation

17:18.

See www.timefortruth.co.uk/alan-oreilly/ Revelation 13 p 3 and this extract with particular re-

spect to Revelation 17:16.

Revelation 18:9 “And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deli-

ciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her

burning.” Note that this writer’s analysis gives rise to an apparent contradiction between Reve-

lation 18:9 and Revelation 17:12, 16 “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...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 now

that apparent contradiction can be resolved only by distinguishing between a satanic human ruler

and a satanic principality, Ephesians 6:12, behind that human ruler e.g. with their contexts “...the

prince of Tyrus...the king of Tyrus...” Ezekiel 28:2, 12 and “...the prince of the kingdom of

Persia...the kings of Persia...the prince of Grecia...” Daniel 10:13, 20 noting the plural.

Revelation 17:16 “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”

nevertheless happens as God’s retribution on cannibalistic* Catholics just prior to the Second

Advent for the reason that King David gives in Psalm 14:4-5 “Have all the workers of iniquity

no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread, and call not upon the LORD. There

were they in great fear: for God is in the generation of the righteous” and therefore “The

righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance: he shall wash his feet in the blood of the

wicked. So that a man shall say, Verily there is a reward for the righteous: verily he is a God

that judgeth in the earth” Psalm 58:10-11.

*See thykingdom2020.wordpress.com/2016/05/25/cannes-baal-cannibal/ for the origin of the

word cannibal.

Revelation 17:17 “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” can be taken as an en-

couragement for today’s believer according to Isaiah 14:26-27 “This is the purpose that is pur-

posed upon the whole earth: and this is the hand that is stretched out upon all the nations.

For the LORD of hosts hath purposed, and who shall disannul it? and his hand is stretched

Britain Under Siege – Extracts on Rome

2

Disarmament of Church and Nation

The basic reason for Britain’s lamentable decline is her wholesale rejection of the Book through

which God blessed her. Regrettably, her national church has been foremost in rejecting this Book,

the Holy Bible, Authorised King James Version of 1611. This is the direct result of the Romanising

of the Church of England [The Principality and Power of Europe, Adrian Hilton, Dorchester House

Publications, 1997, now available in a second, revised edition, December 2000] p 51. In 1859 Car-

dinal Manning wrote [The Papal Visit weighed and found wanting, J.E. North, Focus Publications,

Sussex, 1982] p 26:

If ever there was a land in which work is to be done, and perhaps much to suffer, it is here. I shall

not say too much, if I say that we have to SUBJUGATE and SUBDUE, to CONQUER and RULE, an

imperial race. We have to do with a will which reigns throughout the world, as the will of old Rome

reigned once. We have to BEND or BREAK that will which nations and kingdoms have found invin-

cible and inflexible. Were heresy conquered in England, it would be conquered throughout the

world. All its lines meet here, and therefore in England the Church of God must be gathered in its

strength.

That invincible will came from belief in an invincible Book. The Roman Catholic F. W. Faber,

1814-63, [The Men Behind the KJV, Gustavus S. Paine, Baker Book House 1977] p vii, wrote:

Who will not say that the uncommon beauty and marvellous English of the Protestant Bible is not

one of the great strongholds of heresy in this country? It lives on the ear like music that can never

be forgotten, like the sound of church bells. Its felicities often seem to be things rather than words.

It is part of the national mind, and the anchor of national seriousness.

The English Protestant Bible thus became the focal point of the Romanist assault. In 1881, B.F.

Westcott and F.J.A. Hort, two Cambridge academics, succeeded in displacing the AV1611 as the

English Bible by means of their own Revised Version, RV. The RV was based on the same corrupt

Greek manuscripts as the Roman Catholic bibles, such as the Latin Vulgate and the Jesuit Douay

Rheims. Westcott and Hort were strongly influenced by Cardinal Newman, a former Anglican cler-

gyman who had defected to Rome [An Understandable History Of The Bible, Rev. Samuel C. Gipp

Th.D., Samuel C. Gipp, 1987, Chapters 7, 8]. Dr. Gipp writes, [An Understandable History Of The

Bible] p 167:

It can be safely said that if Westcott and Hort were not two Jesuit priests acting on secret orders

from the Vatican, that two Jesuit priests acting under such orders could not have done a better job of

overthrowing the authority of God’s true Bible and establishing the pro-Roman Catholic text of Al-

exandria, Egypt!

The Bible’s condemnation of Westcott and Hort’s duplicity rings down the centuries. “For ye have

perverted the words of the living God, of the Lord of hosts our God” Jeremiah 23:36.

Westcott and Hort were also strongly influenced by the anti Biblical teachings of Charles Darwin

[An Understandable History Of The Bible] and by the spiritualist, Madame Blavatsky [New Age Bi-

ble Versions, Gail Riplinger, Chapter 30]. Westcott and Hort were among the founders of the Socie-

ty for Psychical Research, an occult group with Marxist leanings and one of the roots of the contem-

porary New Age Movement [New Age Bible Versions, Gail Riplinger, Chapter 30]. Charles Darwin

is also mentioned amongst the founders of Psychical Research, [New Age Bible Versions, Gail

Riplinger, Chapter 30] p 407. The Bible expressly forbids any such occult involvement.

“There shall not be found among you that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the

fire, or that uses divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch, Or a charmer,

or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer. For all that do these things

are an abomination unto the Lord” Deuteronomy 18:10-12. These admonitions lose none of their

force in the New Testament. In Acts 13:9-10, in a tone reminiscent of Jeremiah, the Apostle Paul

rebukes “a certain sorcerer, a false prophet” named Elymas. “O full of all subtilty and all mis-

chief, thou child of the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease to pervert the

right ways of the Lord?”

The “subtilty and mischief” of Westcott and Hort stemmed from their association with Bible per-

version, Romanism, Spiritualism, Communism and Evolution. Britain fell for the deception and is

reaping the consequences. The words of the prophet Hosea pronouncing judgement on apostate Isra-

el apply equally to Britain:

“The Lord hath a controversy with the inhabitants of the land, because there is no truth nor

mercy, nor knowledge of God in the land. By swearing, and lying, and killing, and stealing,

and committing adultery, they break out, and blood toucheth blood” Hosea 4:1, 2...

The Advance of Rome and Her Allies

With the main weapon of defence effectively neutralised, Rome has made great strides in subjugat-

ing this nation in accordance with Cardinal Manning’s vision. Adrian Hilton writes [The Principali-

ty and Power of Europe, Adrian Hilton] p 48, 52 [2017 note. Britain has since left the European Un-

ion. See www.timefortruth.co.uk/alan-oreilly/ Britain and Brexit. Her leaders traitorously continue

to drag their feet over Brexit, no doubt thanks to Rome]:

In 1953, the Queen swore an oath at her Coronation ‘to govern the peoples of the United Kingdom

according to their laws and customs’ and ‘to maintain the Protestant reformed religion established

by law.’ Both of these are negated by the process of deeper European integration. In a continent in

which 61 million claim a Protestant heritage and 199 million profess to be Roman Catholics, it is

simply not possible to maintain Protestantism by democratic law. In an age where all the old institu-

tions-Monarchy, Parliament and Church-are being discredited and marginalised, the Roman Catho-

lic Church is being given an open invitation to fill the vacuum created and set a moral agenda to

stabilise an uncertain society. It will be perceived as an unchanging bedrock upon which a new or-

der may be constructed. Its plea will be for Britain, as for Europe, to seek out its lost soul and re-

store its ‘Christian’ spirituality. The more the Church of England is perceived as a failure, the

greater the opportunity will be for the Church of Rome to proceed with its ‘evangelisation’ and ab-

sorb Britain into a Catholic Europe.

How effective are the Vatican’s present tactics? Hilton concludes [The Principality and Power of

Europe, Adrian Hilton] p 48:

All the direct military assaults on Britain from the Spanish Armada to World War II were manifest

failures, but the modern tactics of encirclement and erosion are bearing fruit. The Catholic Herald

recently stated: ‘The days of the Anglican Church are numbered, and most of its worshippers will

return to the true faith of their distant medieval forbears.

...the enemy [did not] perish with the demise of the Wehrmacht in 1945. She merely changed her

tactics. Hitler and Mussolini were both Roman Catholics who made concordats or political agree-

ments with the Vatican [The Principality and Power of Europe, Adrian Hilton] p 31-32 in order to

fulfil her aim of world domination but the complexities of the post war era demanded a new ap-

proach. Michael de Semlyen writes [All Roads Lead to Rome?, Michael de Semlyen, Dorchester

House Publications, 1991] p 60:

In England [Rome] adopts a high moral tone, represented in the Media as being firmer than that of

any other part of the perceived Church. Cardinal Hume has emerged at the centre of our national

life speaking with authority and clarity about the great moral issues of the day. Committed Catho-

lics lead Christians in the fight against the abortion legislation. The same Catholic leaders have

founded the new Movement for Christian Democracy, ‘an all-party, non denominational organisa-

tion committed to bringing Christian values back into British political life’.

The late Cardinal Hume has of course been eulogised in the media. Other striking examples of

Rome’s projection of her “high moral tone” include the anti-abortion campaigner David Alton and

the prominent writers Joanna Bogle, contributor to Family Education Trust’s informative work Fem-

inism vs. Mankind and Lynette Burrows, author of The Fight for the Family, another excellent publi-

cation by Family Education Trust. There is no doubt about the sincerity of these courageous indi-

viduals and the vital importance of their work for traditional family values but neither is there any

doubt about the potential advantage to Rome’s false image of impeccability. Mrs Burrows was nom-

inated ‘Catholic Woman of the Year’ in 1986 [Full Circle?, Digby Anderson, The Social Affairs

Unit, 1988] and Mrs Bogle, who regards popery as the natural faith of the English [Mass Conver-

sion, Anne McElvoy, The Times Magazine, July 29th, 1995], has stated, ibid:

It ought to be easy to be a triumphalist Catholic in Britain today. Has our Church not reached the

very position that generations of loyal Catholics worked and prayed to achieve? We are the largest

religious denomination in Britain in terms of actual members attending worship…The Anglican

Church is seen to be in disarray, its financial position dire, its membership dropping steadily…the C

of E has lost its sense of ‘presence’. It does not seem to know what it is for. The really nasty letters

are from Anglicans accusing me of promoting the conversion of England. Well of course I am. I

can’t see how any true English Catholic can fail to thrill to that idea.

Mrs Bogle is wrong on a number of counts. The natural faith of the English derives from Apostolic

Christianity, not Roman Catholicism [The Trumpet Sounds for Britain, Volume 1, David E. Gardner,

Christian Foundation Publications, 1980, Chapter 2], which no doubt explains why the English

named their principal church after Paul, not Peter. The work of generations of loyal Catholics in-

cluded the Gunpowder Plot of November 1605, to murder James 1 just after he had sanctioned the

translation of the AV1611 [Jesuit Plots from Elizabethan to Modern Times, Albert Close, The

Protestant Truth Society]. Loyal Catholics, including Patrick Magee, released after the “Good Fri-

day Agreement”, carried out the Brighton bombing in October 1984 in which five innocent people

were killed. Loyal Catholics are mainly responsible for the more than 3,000 deaths by terrorism in

Ulster since the present “troubles” began in 1968 [The Province of Terror, Intelligence Digest, 1990]

and continue to be the major obstacle by far to a genuine resolution of those “troubles”, despite the

boasts of New Labour.

See any issue of The Burning Bush, by Rev. Ivan Foster, www.ivanfoster.org/. Mrs Bogle should

consider the words of veteran tract publisher, Jack Chick [Smokescreens, Jack T. Chick, Chick Pub-

lications, Chino, California, 1983] p 32.

I once read that “Rome when in minority is as gentle as a lamb, when in equality is as clever as a

fox, and when in the majority is as fierce as a tiger.” I believe that this is an accurate description.

Regrettably, Mrs Bogle is right in one respect. The Vatican is a nation state [Are Roman Catholics

Christians?, Jack T. Chick, Chick Publications, 1985]. A Roman Catholic is a citizen of that state

and the first loyalty of a “good Catholic” is therefore to the Vatican. As Mrs Bogle states, it follows

that a “loyal Catholic” will labour to bring the country in which he or she lives under the heel of

Rome, after the vision of Cardinal Manning. Rome is well placed to achieve this objective, with

HRH Prince Charles’ attendances at mass [The Monarchy in Peril, Spirit of ‘88, UPC, 1996], the

Roman Catholic Cherie Blair married to the Prime Minister and the Roman Catholic Anne Wid-

decombe recently appointed as shadow Home Secretary. [2017 update. Thankfully Rome’s objec-

tive has not been achieved, her seditious and subversive influence on various national leaders not-

withstanding]

Sadly, there is a price to pay for trusting the pope. Dr. Dennis Lloyd has listed Papal Blessings and

Curses down through history in his newsletter [The Stand, Vol. 1, No. 29, October/November 1995,

Dr. Dennis Lloyd, Auckland, New Zealand. The Stand, Vol. 2, No. 1, December/January 1995/96]*.

In 1961, the same year that the NEB New Testament was published, Queen Elizabeth visited the

Pope, complying with his request to be dressed in black. Since then her proud Empire has collapsed

and her remnant Island is seeking to lose its identity and be gobbled up in Europe under the Treaty

of Rome, to be subjugated as surely as though the Pope’s protégé, Hitler, had won the war. [2017

On 5 October 1972 Prime Minister Edward Heath of Great Britain audiences with the Pope. On 17

December 1973 Britain drifts into its grimmest economic and industrial crisis since World War 2.

On 4 March 1974 the Conservative Party is defeated. Edward Heath resigns and in February 1975

he is deposed from party leadership by Mrs Thatcher. The British Government allowed the pope to

visit these shores in 1982 [The Papal Visit weighed and found wanting, J.E. North] and two years

later suffered the Brighton bombing. In spite of surviving that horror, Mrs Thatcher unwisely signed

the Anglo-Irish Agreement in 1985, no doubt in accordance with Rome’s wishes. A few years later

she was deposed from party leadership herself. Moreover, tragedy continued to dog the Royal Fami-

ly in return for its dalliance with Rome. Jack Chick writes [Battle Cry, Chick Publications, Janu-

ary/February 1986. Battle Cry, May/June 1993].

Britain’s Princess Diana stands by Pope John Paul II during a recent private papal audience for her

and Prince Charles. The Princess is dressed in black. Vatican protocol requires that visiting royal-

ty wear black, the colour of mourning and humiliation, if they are not Roman Catholic. Charles and

Diana separated in December 1992 after an unhappy marriage, and divorced in August 1996. A year

later, September 1997, Diana was killed in a car accident in Paris [Diana, Princess of Wales,

www.royal.gov.uk/family/diana.htm]. Concerning the CD Candle in the Wind released after Diana’s

death one should read Job 21:17, 18, “How oft is the CANDLE of the wicked put out! and how

oft cometh their destruction upon them! God distributeth sorrows in his anger. They are as

stubble before THE WIND, and as the chaff that the storm carrieth away.”

British Royalty has voluntarily associated with many evil systems and Royal Assent underlies all the

evil enactments inflicted upon this nation in the last 50 years [Britain in Sin, Christian Voice, 1998]

“Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with thee, which frameth mischief by a law?”

The New Age Movement, Satan, Hitler, Marx and Darwin in Disguise

Joining with Romanism in attacking Britain’s Biblical foundations are the other false religions which

have mushroomed in this country since the end of the Second World War. The Royal Family has

been foremost in championing their cause, in blatant violation of the Coronation Oath. Michael de

Semlyen writes [All Roads Lead to Rome?, Michael de Semlyen] p 114-115:

In the unlikely setting of Westminster Abbey, the Queen and the Prince of Wales listened intently as

Muslim, Hindu, Sikh and Buddhist leaders read or chanted from the sacred texts of their faiths,

marking the beginning of 1991’s Commonwealth Day Observance. [With} the Queens’ apparent

approval of multi-faith services and Prince Charles’ very public espousal of strands of New Age

thought, the Coronation Oath must surely be brought into focus for both parliament and nation.

It is right and proper to denounce New Age deception and Prince Charles’ acceptance of it, if only

because the annual gathering at Glastonbury shows the vast and appalling heathen influence of the

New Age Movement on the young. However, closer inspection reveals aspects of the New Age

which have even more sinister implications, particularly for Christians. First, there is nothing “new”

about the New Age [Bringing in the New Age, The Midnight Cry, December 1986, p 7].

The core theology of the New Age Movement that is being revealed to hundreds of thousands of New

Agers today by the spirit guides [is] that “all is God and God is all.” In other words, God is simply

the sum total of everything in the universe. And conversely, since an individual is part of the uni-

verse and, therefore, part of God, each individual is really a little god. This is textbook Hinduism.

“Spirit guides” are evidently contacted through yoga, meditation, and mind-expanding drugs, ibid,

Revelation 9:20, 21. Their plan is to bring about the next step of evolution for humanity, initially by

means of a “World Healing Day” on December 31st 1986, ibid. This ridiculous event has been long

forgotten by the general public but the links to Darwin, the spiritualism of Madame Blavatsky and

therefore to the New Age Versions [New Age Bible Versions, Gail Riplinger, Chapter 30] of Westcott

and Hort are obvious, as is the delusion suffered by so many, world-wide, Isaiah 60:2, Matthew 24:5,

11. Hinduism is leading millions to hell in India alone and belief in New Age doctrine can only do

the same here. Further satanic links with the pioneer new version editors are revealed by the term

“mind expanding drugs.” Gail Riplinger writes [New Age Bible Versions, Gail Riplinger, Chapter

30] p 402.

A clue to the mind-set of Westcott’s cohorts is seen in a letter written by Westcott to ‘Frederic’ [My-

ers, one of the founders of the Society for Psychical Research]. The note indicates Westcott knew

Frederic was not at home because he did not smell cannabis, marijuana or hashish on the premises.

The use of mind altering drugs is not reserved to our generation. At this juncture in his life, Hort

developed a passion for Coleridge, an opium addict. Blavatsky was addicted to hashish and

Westcott was ‘transported’ by beer. Edmond Gurny, a protégé of Frederic Myers, died of a drug-

induced overdose; the same drug, chloroform, initiated turn-of-the-century Luciferian Anna Kings-

ford’s delusions.

Today there are incessant calls for legalisation of cannabis and other drugs by prominent individuals

with widespread media support such as Stephen Fry, Claire Rayner, Jon Snow, Miriam Stoppard,

Polly Toynbee and Detective Chief Inspector Ron Clarke, formerly of the Greater Manchester Police

Drugs Squad [Drugs Bulletin, The Christian Institute, Newcastle-Upon-Tyne, Winter 1997/1998].

This high profile agitation is clearly in harmony with the globalist aspirations of the New Age which

are in turn suspiciously like the aims of international communism [Why Communism Kills, The Leg-

acy of Karl Marx, Dr. Fred C. Schwarz, Christian Anti-Communism Crusade, Long Beach, Califor-

nia].

Marx envisioned the creation of a new superior individual who would create a new society of unlim-

ited abundance and freedom. It was the creation of a new earth, if not a new heaven, wherein “the

redeemed” would dwell. How is the “new earth” brought in? One essential step is the elimination of

undesirables. Communism kills!…The U.S. Senate Internal Security Subcommittee conducted inves-

tigations into the number killed in the Soviet Union and China. Their report stated that 35 million to

45 million had been killed in the Soviet Union and 34 million to 62.5 million in Communist China

[Why Communism Kills, The Legacy of Karl Marx, Dr. Fred C. Schwarz].

It is not surprising that Marxism and the occult aspect of the New Age have a common ancestry.

Gail Riplinger writes [New Age Bible Versions, Gail Riplinger, Chapter 30] p 419:

These strange bedfellows, communism and occultism, are uncovered in The Fabians, a book detail-

ing their interconnection in England. According to its authors, Edward Peace and Frank Podmore

were instrumental in the genesis of both the Society for Psychical Research and the various Marxist

societies of London. Peace referred to the work of Westcott, Hort and Sidgwick’s ‘Ghostly Guild’

and his own Marxist activities as “our common work”. The Fabians mentions the complicity of the

two S.P.R. presidents, Arthur Balfour and his brother Gerald, with the Marxist harbingers of the

day. This connection between England’s Spiritualists and Socialists is further seen in Annie Bes-

ant’s vitae where the Oxford Movement (of which Westcott and Hort were in sympathy), “Friends of

Russia,” the Dialectical Society, and finally leadership of Blavatsky’s Theosophical Society merge.

Marx himself was initiated into a Satanist cult as a youth and adopted the hair style characteristic of

the disciples of Joana Sutherland, a satanic priestess [Mystery 666, Don E. Stanton, Maranatha Re-

vival Crusade, 1980]. This hair style, Revelation 9:8, was also that of Absalom, a conspiring, forni-

cating self-centred murderer, 2 Samuel 13:29, 14:26, 15:4, 12, 16:22. In the Bible it signifies shame

and rebellion, Psalm 68:21, 1 Corinthians 11:14. It later became identified with the “hippie” move-

ment of the 1960’s. The hair style is not now so fashionable with males, although both males and

females use exaggerated short haircuts to express rebellion, Leviticus 21:5, 1 Corinthians 11:6!

However, the shock waves continue unabated from the decade when rebellion against God and the

Bible greatly intensified in Britain. (See remarks earlier.) Those involved in the occult influence of

the late nineteenth century, became the highest in the land, no doubt the Devil’s agents well placed to

assist this country’s decline. Colleagues of Westcott and Hort in Psychical Research included Ed-

ward White Benson, a future Archbishop of Canterbury and Arthur Balfour, who went on to become

Prime Minister of Great Britain, [New Age Bible Versions, Gail Riplinger, Chapter 30], p 405, 418.

Westcott became Bishop of Durham. HRH Prince Charles’ fascination with New Age doctrine and

Cherie Blair’s apparent belief in the “hidden power” of New Age crystals are therefore hardly sur-

prising [The Stand, Vol. VIII, No. 6, October/November 1998] p 45.

Eventually, the New Age is found to be nothing but another offspring of the whore, Revelation 17:5,

6, revealing also the true source of Hinduism, Communism and Spiritualism. Jack Chick writes

[Smokescreens, Jack T. Chick]:

Listen to these names: Marx, Engels, Stalin, Lenin Fidel Castro. All were trained and guided by

Jesuits. In the voodoo creed they state that, along with their religion of demon possession, they be-

lieve in “the holy Roman Catholic church”…The newest movement has been called the “New Age

Movement,” and it’s in full force. But who’s behind it? We know this is an abomination, and the

Bible tells us that the mother of abominations is the whore of Revelation 17, the Roman Catholic in-

stitution…Bishop Fulton Sheen attacked communism in the past, and although it is a by-product,

they will viciously attack it to accomplish their goals. Catholics will try to rally the Christians to-

gether to attack “the New Age Movement.”

Michael de Semlyen writes [All Roads Lead to Rome?, Michael de Semlyen] p 98-104:

The omnipresent New Age movement which came into the open in 1975 is also helping to bring the

world religions together, especially through Western adoption of aspects of Hindu and Buddhist

thought and practice. The Roman Catholic Church has done much to contribute to this in advancing

its strategy for ecumenical and religious co-operation.

There is much in Roman Catholic tradition to contribute to New Age thinking; mysticism, medieval

and modern; the writings and activities of prominent Catholics, past and present, such as Teilhard

de Chardin, Thomas Merton, Matthew Fox and Mother Teresa.

Michael de Semlyen cites Annie Besant’s book Mysticism in this context, ibid, p 99.

‘The Roman Catholic has always kept a knowledge of that Path and method by which the supreme

knowledge may be gained. Take up some great book on Roman Catholic theology and you will find

the startling word which I have in mind; they call it Deification, the deification of man, man become

God.’ Besant’s publisher was the Theosophical Publishing Society, which also published Madame

Blavatsky’s books on the same themes, [New Age Bible Versions, Gail Riplinger, Chapter 30] p 683,

underlining again the connection between Spiritualism, Westcott and Hort and the modern Bible ver-

sions. Michael de Semlyen concludes

The Pope is well placed to emerge as spiritual leader of the New Age movement as it sets its

sights…towards 2000 AD and the beginning of the Age of Aquarius or the Age of the Spirit.

Secondly, before this new age of enlightenment can be attained, some “ethnic cleansing” is neces-

sary [Bringing in the New Age, The Midnight Cry, December 1986, p 7].

The only thing that could stop this evolution to heaven on earth is if, “there were massive and dedi-

cated counter-forces to offset the benefits” of this world-wide collective, unified effort. The only

group capable of doing this, according to Barbara Max Hubbard [an executive director of the World

Future Society], are those who are sticking to a worn-out divisive theology, which believes that it

has the “only” truth. Of course the clear reference is to Bible believing Christianity. Hubbard’s

“spirit guide” has apparently given her some insight into the red horseman of Chapter 6 of the Book

of Revelation, ibid.

No worldly peace can prevail until the self-centred members of the planetary body either change, or

die. That is the choice. The red horseman is the destruction during the birth process of those who

refuse to be born into the God-centred, universal life. They cannot go backward to the womb; they

cannot go forward to the new heavens and new earth. They must surely die, or change. It is a free

choice. Evolution is good but it is not nice. Only the good can evolve.

Like Britain today, the New Age Movement obviously believes in “choice”, although the options are

somewhat limited because the movement is clearly textbook Darwinianism and “survival of the fit-

test” as well as textbook Hinduism. Scott M. Huse has written [The Collapse of Evolution, Scott M.

Huse, Baker Book House, 1986] p 124:

The fruit of evolution has been all sorts of anti-Christian systems of beliefs and practice. It has

served as an intellectual basis for Hitler’s nazism and Marx’s communism. It has promoted aposta-

sy, atheism, secular humanism, and libertinism as well as establishing a basis for ethical relativism,

which has spread through our society like a cancer. The mind and general welfare of mankind has

suffered greatly as a result of this naturalistic philosophy.

The Roman Catholic Church recently gave public support to Darwin’s theory [Pope Bolsters Vatican

Support for Evolution, John Tagliabue, New York Times, 25/10/96].

ROME-Nearly a century and a half after Darwin’s “Origin of Species,” Pope John Paul II has put

the teaching authority of the Roman Catholic Church firmly behind the view that the human body

may not have been the immediate creation of God, but is the product of a gradual process of evolu-

tion. With a formal statement sent to the Pontifical Academy of Sciences on Wednesday, the Pope

said, “fresh knowledge leads to recognition of the theory of evolution as more than just a hypothe-

sis.”

The Jesuit Teilhard de Chardin was closely associated with the Piltdown hoax in the early years of

this century [Science vs. Evolution, M. Bowden, Sovereign Publications, 1991]. His influence has no

doubt served to bring together Rome, Darwin and the New Age, to dislodge Britain’s anchor of na-

tional seriousness, as Faber termed the AV1611 and in turn to subvert her national life and character.

Much of Jack Chick’s information came from a converted ex Jesuit priest, the late Dr. Alberto Rive-

ra and was published as the Alberto series, available in this country from B. McCall Barbour, 28

George IV Bridge, Edinburgh EH1 1ES. The series encountered not only opposition from Rome but

also from genuine but compromised Christian believers, trying to remain on friendly terms with the

whore of Revelation [Smokescreens, Jack T. Chick] p 64-66. Significantly, threats of litigation

against Chick Publications have never materialised. An Australian writer, Sidney Hunter, has com-

piled a helpful summary of answers to the objections most commonly raised against the Alberto se-

ries [Is Alberto for Real?, Sidney Hunter, Chick Publications, 1988]. He cites The Vatican Billions

by Avro Manhattan p 124-125, linking Catholicism and Communism.

To the Vatican, which had waged war against the Orthodox Church since the eleventh century, the

downfall of her millenarian rival was too good to be true. The evil of Bolshevism could in this man-

ner be accepted in view of its having destroyed the Orthodox Church-with one proviso, however;

that it would give Rome a free hand to finish the task of eliminating Orthodoxy in Russia once and

for all. The deal was accepted, and so it came to pass that while the Vatican was publicly fulminat-

ing against Bolshevism, the Bolsheviks in the Kremlin and the Vatican’ diplomat in Rome began se-

cret negotiations.

Lenin broke off negotiations with the Vatican when he realised the extent of Rome’s ambitions for

total control of the new Soviet Union. The Vatican then supported Mussolini and later Hitler in or-

der to precipitate World War 2, in part to wreak revenge on Russia [Is Alberto for Real?, Sidney

Hunter] p 50-51. It must always be understood that the Vatican believes it has an inalienable right to

destroy all whom it sees as its opponents. This explains the unremitting brutality of the Catholic

IRA in Ulster, even during times of so-called “cease-fire”, far in excess of the “Loyalist” para-

militaries, as exemplified by the Omagh bombing of August 1998, when, ironically, many of the vic-

tims were Roman Catholics. Hunter cites the Council of Lateran, 1215, the decrees of which have

never been repealed.

We excommunicate and anathematize every heresy that exalts itself against the holy and orthodox

Catholic Church, condemning all heretics…Such as are condemned are to be delivered over to the

existing secular powers to receive due punishment.

“Due punishment” means summary execution, because the same council declared that the secular

powers were to exert themselves to the utmost in the defense of the faith, and extirpate (kill) all here-

tics denounced by the Church who shall be found in their territories. Where the “secular powers”

are not wholly at Rome’s beck and call, as in Britain, her IRA terrorists can be called upon to act, say

with respect to the Brighton bombing.

Note therefore that the New Age, Evolution, Communism and Catholicism are united in this respect.

It is necessary to exterminate every individual who is judged to be unsuitable for their “brave new

world”. The lowest estimate I have seen of the number murdered by Rome during the Dark Ages is

5,000,000 [The History of the New Testament Church, Volume II, Dr. Peter S. Ruckman, Bible Bap-

tist Bookstore, 1984], p 2. Some estimates of the total murders by Rome from 325 A.D. to the pre-

sent exceed 60,000,000 [Smokescreens, Jack T. Chick], p 35, [Is Alberto for Real?, Sidney Hunter],

p 41. These estimates are certainly vindicated if one includes the dead of the two World Wars of this

century which were both set up by Rome [The Secret History of the Jesuits, Edmond Paris, translated

from the French 1975, reprinted by Chick Publications], Part V. Every Briton should understand that

the architects of the new world order have but one final choice in mind for every man, woman and

child on this planet, in the words of the French historian, the late Edmond Paris, “Convert…or Die!”

The Aggression of Islam

Islam is the most aggressive of the imported eastern religions and like Rome adept at the subtle tac-

tics of encirclement and erosion of genuine religious liberty. Nigerian Christian G.J.O. Moshay de-

scribes the tactics that Mohammed devised in the 7th Century, which Muslims are applying today to

overthrow Christianity [Who is this Allah?, G.J.O. Moshay, Dorchester House Publications, 1994] p

25.

Migrate to Christian areas because they are tolerant. Pretend to be peaceful, friendly and hospita-

ble; begin to clamour for religious political and social rights and privileges that you will not allow

to Christians in an Islamic country; breed fast there and settle down; there should be no Christian

activities in your community; you may speak or write to discredit their religion, but they must not

talk about Islam; begin to expand your community; Christian activities should be restricted in all the

places you expand to; the moment you have enough military might against these ‘disbelievers’, these

trinitarian kaferis, go ahead and eliminate them or suppress them as much as you can, and be in

control. Moshay concludes Where immediate invasion is not possible, that has always been the poli-

cy.

Islam’s tactics are succeeding. Moshay writes [Who is this Allah?, G.J.O. Moshay] p 33 In 1945,

only one mosque was to be found in the whole of England. In 1990 over 1,000 mosques are scat-

tered all over the country. The number would be much higher now. Dr. Lloyd reports from a corre-

spondent [The Stand, Vol. 2, No. 4, June/July1996] p 50, on the Gloria Hunniford programme here

in the U.K. of June 11, 1995, it was stated that: Every 9 days a church closes in the U.K. Every 7

days a Sikh temple opens in the U.K. and every 14 days a Muslim mosque opens in the U.K. Dr.

Lloyd, ibid., has urged Britain’s people to GET OUT OF THOSE SOUL DESTROYING PUBS and

get back to worshipping the Lord!

Robert Morey [The Islamic Invasion, Robert Morey, Harvest House Publishers, 1992] p 39 shows

what elimination and suppression of ‘disbelievers’ means when implemented.

In the Quran, Muslims are told in Sura 9:5: ‘Fight and slay the pagans [i.e. infidels] wherever ye

find them, and seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem of war.’ What

are Muslims supposed to do to the people who resist Islam? Sura 5:33 says: ‘Their punishment

is…execution, or crucifixion, or the cutting off of hands and feet from the opposite sides, or exile

from the land.’ In the West such things as cutting off someone’s hands or feet because he would not

accept your religion is unthinkable.

The methods used by Islam are very similar to those of Roman Catholicism. Dr. Peter S. Ruckman

writes [The History of the New Testament Church, Volume II, Dr. Peter S. Ruckman, Bible Baptist

Bookstore, 1984] p 3-4, citing 8 detailed references.

The Catholic Church displays an international system of unregenerate politicians whose totalitarian

designs are aimed at overthrowing every institution and government on the face of this earth by any

means, including fraud, murder, torture, exile, imprisonment, extortion and armed warfare. This

system is identical with communism and fascism, although its profession is different. The procedure

adopted by this pharisaical hierarchy to gain world dominion is as follows:

1. If unable to move, lay low and wait (America: 1600-1800).

2. If able to move at all, plead for religious tolerance (America: 1800-1900).

3. Once obtained (British Parliament, 1829: America, 1900), go to work immediately in politics

(Britain and Ireland, 1960-1980): America-the Kennedy family…

4. Profess nothing but peace, love, humility and unity until enough control has been gained to lay

ahold of Protestant TAX money.

Page 24: Revelation 17 Table Revelation 17:1-18 · 2020. 8. 27. · Revelation 17 Table Revelation 17:1-18 1 And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with

24

5. Get control over every mayor, governor or senator who is born or raised Catholic to use him for

the private interests of the church.

6. Wait until marriages and birth control guarantee a large pressure group. Keep all births in the

church by telling them not to proselytise, thereby stopping the proselytising of others. When a

majority is obtained, persecute any journalist in the news media every time he says anything to

hurt the totalitarian designs of the church. Anything truthful put out over radio or TV that is

harmful to the hierarchy must be called “BIGOTRY” at once.

7. When a majority is gained, use tax money to obtain monopolies and then demonstrate for unity

and ecumenism (America: 1940-1960).

8. Once all major leaders are Roman Catholic (Germany: Hitler, Hess, Goering, Himmler, Goeb-

bels, Heydrich, Bormann,…etc.), enforce UNITY with a police state and politicians. Slander and

harass resisters (Ireland: 1960-1990), jail and fine opponents, and eventually torture and mur-

der opponents (Goering, Hoess, Himmler, etc.)

Fifteen hundred years of church history teaches that the greatest religious hypocrite on this earth is

a pope (any pope) and that the greatest lying religious organisation on this earth is the Roman

Catholic church. It will make any compromise necessary with anyone (communist or fascist: Hitler

and Mussolini both signed concordats with the pope-1933 and 1928) including atheists, Jews or

Moslems in order to obtain its own purpose, which is world dominion. One must never forget that

the Catholic church has not only promoted and encouraged armed warfare but its monks and bish-

ops have led troops into battle against Bible-believing Christians. Nazism and communism could

never claim as many victims on the grounds of religious deceit and religious hypocrisy because nei-

ther of them claimed to be churches, and their leaders did not profess to represent Jesus Christ at

all. King James, the monarch of England who is much hated and maligned by modern Fundamental-

ists, never made any such a profession of importance or power as ANY pope who ever lived. Along-

side the popes of his day (Clement VIII, Leo XI, Paul V, and Gregory XIV), James 1 was a saint.

In contrast to point 6 above, Mrs Bogle clearly believes that a pressure group large enough even for

proselytising must now exist. Once again, regrettably, she is probably right. In the meantime, Brit-

ain is already seeing the results of proselytising by Islam. A Mr. Ron Brewer recently wrote to Dr.

Dennis Lloyd on the subject of Moslem Intolerance [The Stand, Vol. VII, No. 1, December /January

1996/97].

The scene which greeted us at Hyde Park was unbelievable. There were Moslems by the hundreds

present. These groups seek out anyone who speaks on the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. While the

speaker tried to preach the Muslim crowd interjected until he could not be heard. I spoke out

against the Koran and stood my ground on the Holy Bible being the only true word. This caused a

[heavy] onslaught from them, it was very frightening and hardly comforting to see not even one po-

liceman on duty!! Nevertheless we did not compromise the Truth and the whole episode finally pe-

tered out.

Dr. Lloyd has shown that the ending would be different in an Islamic country [The Stand, Vol. VIII,

No. 2, February/March 1998]. He reports from the New Zealand Herald, 5/1/98.

Algiers - Wielding axes, knives, hoes and shovels, Muslim militants under cover of night hacked and

slashed to death more than 400 villagers in the worst massacre of a nearly six-year-old insurgency.

The attack came on the first day of Ramadan, the Muslim holy month that has seen an upsurge of

violence EVERY YEAR since the insurgents launched their struggle to bring down the military

backed government. Over 500 people have been massacred in the last 11 days.

Will such scenes of horror be repeated in Britain? What if “triumphalist” Catholics join with Mus-

lim militants, as they did with the Ustashi or Catholic Action squads in Yugoslavia during World

War 2, when up to 750,000 Serbs were slaughtered for being “non Catholic” or “non Muslim”, [Rav-

ening Wolves, Monica Farrell, Protestant Publications, Glebe, N.S.W., 1981] p 50-54, 44? Will the

scenes of carnage be even worse in Britain? They will, if Rome and Islam run true to form. Dr.

Lloyd has printed many articles in The Stand documenting the long established cruelty of these sys-

tems and the refusal of western leaders, including HRH Prince Charles, to face these issues.

Peter Hammond, missionary to the Sudan, describes the relentless persecution of Christians by Mus-

lims in North Africa and sums up the true nature of Islam [Frontline Fellowship News, 1998 Edition

3, Peter Hammond, P.O. Box 74, Newlands, South Africa], citing the Islamic leader Abdul Aziz Ibn

Saud. We shall never call for or accept a negotiated peace. We shall only accept war-Jihad-the ho-

ly War. We have resolved to drench the lands of Palestine and Arabia with the blood of infidels or to

accept martyrdom for the glory of Allah. Jihad has resulted in over a dozen wars in the Middle East

in the last 45 years, which have killed or maimed at least 12,000,000 people. The Arab Muslim

Government in the Sudan is determined to exterminate the Black Christians in the Nuba Mountains

to the south, where the longest war of this century has raged since 1955. Like Catholicism and

Communism, Islam kills but in the Sudan, the conflict also has a racial element. However, because

no whites are directly involved, the virulently racist anti-Caucasian news media in this country re-

frains from screaming Apartheid! The horror of the present day Sudan and Mr. Brewer’s experience

at Hyde Park show that Muslims true to the Koran would readily drench the lands of Britain with the

blood of infidels, if they could get away with it. These are Britain’s adversaries, whom GOD has

raised up, 1 Kings 11:14, 23, for her wicked departures from Him.

“Wherefore I will bring the worst of the heathen, and they shall possess their houses: I will also

make the pomp of the strong to cease: and their holy places shall be defiled” Ezekiel 7:24.

Britain’s Final Warning? by Alan O’Reilly – Extracts

[2017 note. With respect to what follows note again that Britain has left the European Union since

this study was first compiled. See www.timefortruth.co.uk/alan-oreilly/ Britain and Brexit. Her

leaders traitorously continue to drag their feet over Brexit, no doubt thanks to Rome]

Britain’s situation is like that described by Ezekiel, in reference to ancient Israel.

“Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, Also, thou son of man, thus saith the

Lord GOD unto the land of Israel; An end, the end is come upon the four corners of the land.

Now is the end come upon thee, and I will send mine anger upon thee, and will judge thee accord-

ing to thy ways, and will recompense upon thee all thine abominations” Ezekiel 7:1-3.

Ezekiel concludes with a dire warning of a particular aspect of God’s judgement:

“The land is full of bloody crimes, and the city is full of violence. Wherefore I will bring the worst

of the heathen, and they shall possess their houses: I will also make the pomp of the strong to

cease; and their holy places shall be defiled” Ezekiel 7:24.

“The worst of the heathen” exist here at many levels, as we will see.

But for Britain, the papal antichrist, John Paul II personified the very worst of them.

He came in May 1982. His presence defiled what Britain would regard as her ‘holy places,’ our cen-

tres of national worship.

He went to Liverpool Cathedral, the city where John Charles Ryle was its first bishop and Canter-

bury Cathedral, where the then Archbishop Runcie said1 p 4, 18:

“Dear Brother…in the name of the Lord we greet you.”

Compare that with the bold witness of Thomas Cranmer, Britain’s first Archbishop of Canterbury,

whom Rome burnt at the stake in March 15561 p 24.

“As for the Pope, I refuse him, as Christ’s enemy and anti-christ, with all his false doctrine.”

We could do with another archbishop like Cranmer now.

God’s judgement on “the pomp of the strong” has come on the Royal Family. Michael de Semlyen

wrote in his book2 p 114-115 All Roads Lead to Rome?

“Her Majesty the Queen has departed from her [Coronation] Oath to the extent that she now does

not defend…the Protestant Reformed faith. [In 1991], the Daily Telegraph’s religious correspond-

ent…writing under the headline, ‘Royal approval for Koran at abbey,’ noted that in the unlikely set-

ting of Westminster Abbey, the Queen and the Prince of Wales listened intently as Muslim, Hindu,

Sikh and Buddhist leaders read or chanted from the sacred texts of their faiths, marking the begin-

ning of 1991’s Commonwealth Day Observance, which went ahead in its customary multi-faith for-

mat.” Since the Pope’s visit and these multi-faith services, we have suffered:

• The Brighton Bomb, October 1984 that killed five3. Prime Minister Thatcher narrowly escaped.

• Britain’s involvement in Afghanistan and Iraq, which has cost the lives of many of our service-

men and even some servicewomen.

• Charles and Diana’s divorce in August 1996, an event of national humiliation. Diana was killed

in the Paris car crash in September 19974.

• The Warrington and Bishopsgate IRA bombs3, March 1993, April 1993. They killed three, in-

cluding two young boys, injured forty-four and smashed dozens of businesses in Bishopsgate.

• The London suicide bombs of July 7th 2005. Muslims killed 52 commuters and injured 7005.

Yet Her Majesty has since opened a Muslim prayer room in Windsor Castle. That amounts to

more national humiliation and giving aid and comfort to the enemy.

27

Those events and others show how the Ezekiel 7 passages previously quoted are afflicting Britain today. Sadly,

God has allowed the Vatican to formulate and progress a strategy against Britain, for her sin. Let us review it.

Ashley Mote is a long-time researcher of Britain’s history. In 2001 he wrote a book called Vigilance, A Defence

of British Liberty. He says this6 p 125ff:

“Rome has opposed the UK at many critical moments in its history, ever since the signing of the

Magna Carta…on 15th June 1215. [Pope] Innocent III wrote bluntly to the English abbots and bish-

ops who had signed the document, saying they had done something “abominable” and “illicit.” The

pope also assumed powers to annul Magna Carta.”

Magna Carta, of course, is basic to Britain’s Constitution as a nation. Mote continues.

“Three centuries later, Henry VIII finally threw the Roman Catholic Church out. His act of rebel-

lion is still talked about in Rome to this day. The British have not, and never will be, forgiven for

such heresy.”

Mote catalogues the popes’ efforts to reconquer England via the Armada of 1588, the Stewart rising

of 1745, Napoleon, Kaiser Wilhelm, Hitler, the IRA and the EU.

And he concludes, “For the Roman Catholic Church, the UK is unfinished business stretching back

500 years.” You and I must never lose sight of that fact.

So what is the Vatican’s current strategy for that unfinished business?

Vatican strategy

Cardinal Manning summed up Vatican thinking about Britain in 18591 p 26:

“If ever there was a land in which work is to be done, and perhaps much to suffer, it is here…We

have to SUBJUGATE and SUBDUE, to CONQUER and RULE, an imperial race. We have to do

with a will which reigns throughout the world, as the will of old Rome reigned once. We have to

BEND or BREAK that will which nations and kingdoms have found invincible and inflexible. Were

heresy conquered in England, it would be conquered throughout the world. All its lines meet here,

and therefore in England the Church of God must be gathered in its strength.”

That invincible will came from a belief in an invincible Book.

The Roman Catholic F. W. Faber, 1814-637 p vii, wrote this:

“Who will not say that the uncommon beauty and marvellous English of the Protestant Bible is not

one of the great strongholds of heresy in this country? It lives on the ear like music that can never

be forgotten, like the sound of church bells. Its felicities often seem to be things rather than words.

It is part of the national mind, and the anchor of national seriousness.”

The English Protestant Bible thus became the focal point of the Romanist assault.

In 1881, two Cambridge academics, B.F. Westcott and F.J.A. Hort, succeeded in displacing the

AV1611 as the English Bible in the Church of England by means of their own Revised Version, RV,

which is the first of today’s modern translations. The RV was based on the same corrupt Greek

manuscripts as the Roman Catholic bibles, such as the Latin Vulgate and the Jesuit Douay Rheims.

Dr. Gipp writes8 p 167:

“It can be safely said that if Westcott and Hort were not two Jesuit priests acting on secret orders

from the Vatican, that two Jesuit priests acting under such orders could not have done a better job of

overthrowing the authority of God’s true Bible and establishing the pro-Roman Catholic text of Al-

exandria, Egypt!”

The Bible’s condemnation of Westcott and Hort rings down the centuries.

“For ye have perverted the words of the living God, of the Lord of hosts our God” Jeremiah 23:36.

Page 28: Revelation 17 Table Revelation 17:1-18 · 2020. 8. 27. · Revelation 17 Table Revelation 17:1-18 1 And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with

28

Now the word of God is settled in Heaven, Psalm 119:89. It is kept pure on earth as the AV1611,

Psalm 12:6, 7. We are forbidden to make any likeness of anything that is in Heaven above, or in the

earth beneath, Exodus 20:4. We are forbidden to make counterfeit bibles, including the ‘DIY’ ver-

sion so often used in pulpits today, “The Greek REALLY says, etc.” That is a sin against God.

Westcott was one of the bishops of Durham. He is listed in the cathedral. But by their deception,

Westcott and Hort struck at the heart of the British nation. What is the result?

Rev M.J. Roberts was editor of The Banner of Truth Magazine. He said in 19949.

“The Bible is a lost book in Britain today. It has little influence on national life any more...We have

to admit that we are not seeing souls converted in great numbers. It does not matter where you go.

Go to Wales, to Scotland, or to England here. Few are being converted in these days. Where are

the days when the Bible was being blessed to the conversion of thousands and ten thousands?...The

problem is here. This book is not being read so as to bring light to bear upon men’s lives. Therefore

the tragedy is that men are not being converted to Christ. Could any curse in this life be greater?

Could any judgment be more awful than this?”

God’s judgement continues. For example, consider Hitler and the EU as part of Vatican strategy

against Britain. Let us take a closer look.

Hitler and the Vatican

Hitler’s Reich was really the previous European Union. Ashley Mote said this6 p 120:

“In 1937…Hitler developed the idea of establishing regions of Europe as a means of destroying na-

tional identities. Hitler’s concept of “divide and rule” was intended to smash each defeated nation

into several little regions to be ruled from Berlin. It has since served as the model for the EU’s re-

gional policy, which aims to turn the UK into 12 regions, all ruled from Brussels.” Prescott’s

scheme was defeated in the northeast but the ‘regions’ haven’t gone away. England no longer exists

in Brussels. It is merely 9 regions.

And Hitler’s strategy was Vatican strategy. Ashley Mote again6 p 126, 127.

“The Pope concluded a treaty of friendship and mutual support (a concordat) with both Continental

dictators – Hitler in Nazi Germany and Mussolini in Italy. The Vatican had no such concordats with

the allies. Eugenio Pacelli was enthroned [as Pius XII] just before the Second World War, through-

out which those concordats remained in full force.”

And by various covert political means, the Vatican still works for global domination:

“And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth”

Revelation 17:18.

The Vatican and the EU

Ashley Mote states ibid.

“Catholicism is not comfortable with Protestantism, despite its lip-service to the ecumenical move-

ment. There are now moves to destroy the Protestant hold on Britain. The Vatican has every reason

to support the EU’s plans to “unite” Europe. The proposal to lift the ban on Catholics on or next to

the throne of England…is yet another step towards losing our sovereignty [and] becoming sub-

merged in the Catholic Europe of the EU. Protestant rights and freedoms [are] at risk.

“The Vatican has pursued EU integration from at least the 1940s, mainly in secret…[and] is quietly

working to overturn the effects of the Reformation.”

One way the Vatican works is through the media. She has controlled the BBC since before the war

and thus forestalled a warning to Britain about World War 2.

Albert Close was a Protestant Christian historian. He revealed that when Oxford Don, Mr R.H.

Crossman, was investigating the pre-war Hitlerian blood purges, he was told repeatedly, “The pope

[is] behind all the trouble”10 p 39.

Mr Crossman attempted to broadcast this from Berlin in July 1934, via the BBC. The broadcast was

suddenly cut off when he mentioned the pope. No explanation was ever given. The then BBC

Chairman, Lord Reith, was part of the cover-up.

That BBC cover-up helped bring about World War 2. That war resulted in 55,000,000 dead, includ-

ing 500,000 deaths from Britain and the Commonwealth.

It is no accident, that the present-day director-general of the BBC is Mark Thompson, who is a Cath-

olic, as is Mark Byford, his deputy.

Thompson is said to be the most influential lay Catholic in Britain11. No doubt he is. The BBC still

portrays the pope as a man of God, not the antichrist. We need another Archbishop Cranmer.

After Hitler, Charlemagne and Napoleon, we are now in the fourth EU. What does the EU mean for

Britain?

Christian author Adrian Hilton answered that question in his book The Principality and Power of Eu-

rope. He wrote, back in 199712 p 91-92:

“Members of Parliament have given away to Brussels what was never theirs to part with…The

Maastricht Treaty confirms European bureaucratic supremacy over more than 70 policy areas, in-

cluding taxation, monetary policy, education, immigration, judicial policy, health and safety, indus-

trial policy, competition, regional policies, overseas aid, energy, and consumer affairs. It further

commits the UK to the first two stages of monetary union. It does not take much to see that there is

little else for the British Parliament to legislate on.”

So Parliament has betrayed our sovereignty to the EU – and our wealth. This is further evidence of

God terminating “the pomp of the strong.” Proverbs 10:15 tells us “A rich man’s wealth is his

strong city.”

Lord Pearson of Rannoch13 states that the cost of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP), over-

regulation and direct cash contributions to the EU is £40,000,000,000 (£40 billion) each year, net.

He says that is 40 district hospitals lost each year. He adds that Britain has wasted since joining the

EU £94,000,000,000 pounds on useless capital projects. Another 94 district hospitals lost.

Britain is paying a heavy price for departing from God’s ways, according to Ezekiel 7.

Adrian Hilton shows how the Vatican EU further threatens our sovereignty12 p 48, 52.

“In 1953, the Queen swore an oath at her Coronation ‘to govern the peoples of the United Kingdom

according to their laws and customs’ and ‘to maintain the Protestant reformed religion established

by law.’ Both of these are negated by the process of deeper European integration. In a continent in

which 61 million claim a Protestant heritage and 199 million profess to be Roman Catholics, it is

simply not possible to maintain Protestantism by democratic law. The more the Church of England

is perceived as a failure, the greater the opportunity will be for the Church of Rome to proceed with

its ‘evangelisation’ and absorb Britain into a Catholic Europe.”

And the Vatican strategy is working. Hilton adds:

“The Catholic Herald recently stated: ‘The days of the Anglican Church are numbered, and most of

its worshippers will return to the true faith of their distant medieval forbears.’”

Remember that Catholics must obey the pope rather than the Queen or Parliament.

“Let us never forget that whatever [Queen Elizabeth’s] boasted authority may be it is as nothing and

less than nothing compared to that of the Vicar of Christ”14.

“The law of God that is the Pope’s command will be or rather has been and is being carried into

effect: the Parliamentary lie will be spit upon and trampled underfoot” 15. No wonder Article 37 of

the Church of England stipulates “The Bishop of Rome hath no jurisdiction in this realm of Eng-

land.”

Adrian Hilton was the Tory candidate for Slough. What happened to him?

The Guardian reported on March 4th, 200516.

“A Tory candidate who believes the EU is a Catholic plot to impose Vatican sovereignty over Britain

was today accused by the Catholic church of preaching a conspiracy theory traditionally associated

with the far right.

“His outspoken views prompted the spokesman for Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O'Connor, the leader

of the Catholic church in England and Wales, to accuse him of deploying “the sort of argument that

tends to be made by extreme Protestants or radical nationalists”.

““These views are bizarrely a-historical and fundamentally erroneous, and an unfair depiction of

the Catholic view of Europe,” the spokesman said.

“Defending his views, Mr Hilton insisted that

““It is unfortunate that, in this day and age, if one expresses an Islamic perspective it has to be ac-

cepted, if one expresses a Roman Catholic perspective it has to be accepted - and yet an assertion of

the constitutional position of her majesty the Queen and parliament with regards to Protestantism is

greeted with derision.””

The Times reported on March 30th, 200517.

“Sheila Gunn, a former Times journalist who served as a press secretary to John Major…has been

imposed as the new Tory candidate for [Slough]. Mr Hilton was ousted this month after party offi-

cials were alerted to an article that he wrote in 2003, which described the European Union as a Ro-

man Catholic conspiracy and suggested that Mr Major’s signing of the Maastricht Treaty had been

an act of treason.”

Note, Hilton was not sued but was ousted.

An update on the EU

The EU Constitution is still going ahead18, 19, even though France and the Netherlands rejected it in

referenda.

The draft text of the Constitution says this20.

Article 10: Union law

1. The Constitution, and law adopted by the Union’s Institutions in exercising competences con-

ferred on it, shall have primacy over the law of the Member States.

That means that the EU Commission still makes our laws. Member states will not get back any sov-

ereignty. The EU will be able to impose its will by force.

Article 53: The Union’s resources

The Union shall provide itself with the means necessary to attain its objectives and carry through its

policies.

That refers to the formation of a Euro-army, a new Wehrmacht and a Euro-police force, Euro-pol or

a Euro-Gestapo21. These formations will have unbridled power to ‘keep order’ in the EU superstate.

Cardinal Manning’s strategy is working.

Where could these security forces come from?

Nazis, the EU and Islam

I previously referred to Ashley Mote, long-term researcher against the EU.

He has also written a book called Overcrowded Britain, about immigration. He wrote it following

Jack Straw’s announcement that 75,000,000 eastern Europeans are now eligible to emigrate to Brit-

ain, after EU enlargement22 p 3-4.

The Balkan countries, Albania, Bosnia and Kosovo are next door to the enlarged EU. Many of their

citizens are entering Britain and those countries might well join the EU.

In World War 2, Germany had the Waffen, or ‘Weapons’ SS, including 2 Muslim divisions.

The Muslim Waffen SS divisions came from those areas. They were noted for cowardice in combat

and for sickening cruelty against unarmed civilians.

And present day Bosnian Muslims see themselves as carrying on the tradition of their Waffen SS

forefathers.

British journalist Robert Fox covered the Falklands War. He reported that Muslim SS-type for-

mations still existed in 1993, during the Bosnian conflict23.

“Up to 6000-strong, the [Bosnian Muslim] Handzar division glories in a fascist culture. They see

themselves as the heirs of the SS Handzar Division, formed by Bosnian Muslims in 1943 to fight for

the Nazis. Their spiritual model was Mohammed Amin al-Husseini, the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem

who sided with Hitler.”

If the Balkan Muslim countries join the EU, that is where our future police and armed forces rank

and file could come from.

Because we need to remember that Tony Blair and Jack Straw signed up to the EU Constitution on

October 29th 200424. Many young Balkan Muslims are here without jobs (it’s the Poles that have the

jobs) so they could be formed into a security force...

[Note how] the Muslim Menace...is tolerated.

Muslim Menace - Tolerated

Long ago, Nahum issued this warning to Nineveh for her sin. It applies to Britain.

“Behold, thy people in the midst of thee are women: the gates of thy land shall be set wide open

unto thine enemies” Nahum 3:13a.

Muslims killed 52 victims in the London bombings of July 7th 2005. Yet on that very day, the Depu-

ty Assistant Metropolitan Police Commissioner, Brian Paddick said that25, “Islam and terrorists are

two words that should not go together.” That was a blatant lie. Because Islam regards Britain as

part of Dar-al-Harb, ‘the House of War’26 p 23. In fact, Muslims class all non-Muslim countries as

Dar-al-Harb, the House of War. They have to be absorbed into Dar-al-Islam, the House of Islam, if

necessary by force.

So the suicide bombers were simply good Muslims obeying the Qur’an:

“Fight and slay the pagans [infidels] wherever ye find them, and seize them, beleaguer them, and lie

in wait for them in every stratagem of war” Sura 9:5.

The authorities wilfully refuse to recognise this menace – or the judgement of God, in that the July

7th bombings came 5 days after a big ‘Gay Parade’ held in London.

Then came a demonstration in London, on February 3rd, 2006, the Cartoon Protests. A Muslim mob

carried placards demanding the heads of anyone who insulted Islam.

About 6 weeks later, following 500 complaints from the public, the Metropolitan Police arrested half

a dozen protesters, on suspicion of public order offences27, as a token gesture - more than 500 Mus-

lims took part in the original demonstration28.

Page 32: Revelation 17 Table Revelation 17:1-18 · 2020. 8. 27. · Revelation 17 Table Revelation 17:1-18 1 And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with

32

Then there was the Muslim reaction against the Pope’s remarks, in September 2006. More incite-

ment to violence but no serious police action.

Now the Queen has allowed a Muslim ‘prayer room’ in Windsor Castle, in blatant violation of her

Coronation Oath29 and an insult to the victims of Muslim terror.

Following the present Pope’s remarks about Islam, churches in the former mill towns30, suffered

firebomb attacks. Yet they were either Orthodox or Protestant churches, not Catholic. Rome and

Islam are actually allies31, like Hitler and the Grand Mufti were.

So Muslims in the UK are aggressively pursuing their war against Britain and they seem to be win-

ning. A recent Channel 4 Dispatches programme, screened on January 15th 2007, showed supposed-

ly “moderate” Muslims in this country openly preaching hate against non-Muslims and urging jihad

against them. It has met with a very muted police response.

Indeed, when we consider the police responses to Muslim aggression overall, they are quite unlike

the police reaction to Christians who oppose ‘gay rights’. The apparent inconsistency should not

surprise us, however, insofar as it is common knowledge that Deputy Assistant Metropolitan Police

Commissioner, Brian Paddick – see above - is a practising sodomite. Quite clearly, the Lord’s peo-

ple should be prayerfully concerned.

Police Persecute Christians

In October 2001, 69-year old Mr Harry Hammond, a Bournemouth pensioner was arrested and fined

£700 for publicly witnessing against sodomy32 p 297ff. A gang of sodomites assaulted Mr Hammond

but the arresting officers ignored that. The officer in charge, PC Nicola Gandy, claimed that Mr

Hammond was inciting to violence and “not a very good example of the Christian faith.”

The case reminds me of Naboth and Jezebel, 1 Kings 21, 2 Kings 9. An evil woman persecuted a

godly man, with the help of the local authorities and encouraged sodomites, Leviticus 18:22, 27, 1

Kings 21:25. (PC Gandy should take careful note that Jezebel came to a distinctly bad end.)

Then in December 2005, a retired couple from Fleetwood in Lancashire, Mr and Mrs Joe and Helen

Roberts, asked their local council for permission to place Christian literature alongside ‘gay rights’

brochures in public buildings. A few days later, they were harangued for an hour and a half in their

home by two police officers*, who virtually accused them of a homophobic ‘hate crime.’ No six-

week delay here as was offered to violent and inflammatory Muslim protestors.

*The Christian Institute has reported that Lancashire Police have now backed down on this case.

Nevertheless, it surely serves as a serious warning to God’s people.

In addition, Christian Voice National Director Stephen Green was arrested by South Wales Police for

handing out anti-gay leaflets at a sodomite Mardi Gras33. And the sodomite police association, the

GPA tried to accuse Christians of ‘homophobic crimes,’34 though the Advertising Standards Associa-

tion upheld complaints from Christians against the GPA and this advert.

But God’s mercy to His servants notwithstanding, these incidents show that elements of our police

forces are degenerating to the level of Nazi bullyboys35, who included many practising sodomites in

their ranks. For proof of that, see The Pink Swastika, by Scott Lively and Kevin Abrams.

This brings us back to the current EU Reich and the ease with which Muslims in the UK could ac-

quire a policing role, via Europol and the long-standing tradition of the Muslim Waffen SS Divi-

sions, recruited via a further enlarged EU. This matches God’s warning to Israel for her disobedi-

ence, as revealed by Ezekiel, Jeremiah and Nahum. Jeremiah has this further warning.

“Like as ye have forsaken me, and served strange gods in your land, so shall ye serve strangers in

a land that is not yours” Jeremiah 5:19. The historic context is the Babylonian captivity but many

British folk feel that Britain is “a land that is not yours.” Don’t you, sometimes?

The Lord’s Reassurance

The Lord warned in Matthew 24:12 [“And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall

wax cold”] that iniquity will abound. We may come under pressure like Harry Hammond or Joe and

Helen Roberts. We need to remember Mark 13:11. “Whatsoever shall be given you in that hour,

that speak ye: for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Ghost.” The Spirit of God will bring to mind

the words of this Book, if you’ve kept them like the Lord said in John 14:23. “If a man love me, he

will keep my words.”

And like the Lord exhorts us all in Isaiah 66:2.

“For all those things hath mine hand made, and all those things have been, saith the LORD: but

to this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at my word.”

Queen Victoria understood that verse. She once said36 p 18 to an African chieftain, “That Book

[AV1611] accounts for the supremacy of England.”

Where do WE stand, with respect to this Book? It is our last, indeed only, line of defence. Are we

as wise as Queen Victoria?

Bill of Rights, 1689 and Dr H. Grattan Guinness on Rome

With Pope Benedict XVI within our shores on a state visit, we should review briefly

the Constitutional basis of the British nation with respect to Rome.

Article 9 of the Bill of Rights, 1689 states in part “All persons who shall hold com-

munion with the Church of Rome, or shall marry a papist, shall be excluded, and

for ever incapable to possess, inherit, or enjoy, the Crown and Government of this

realm; and in all such cases, the people of these realms shall be absolved of their al-

legiance, and the Crown shall descend to the next heir.”

The Bill of Rights is still in force. Parliament does not have the authority to revoke it

and our leaders have committed treason by inviting the pope here. The main thing is,

though, to avoid any papal blessings.

See www.alamoministries.com/content/english/Antichrist/bewareof.html.

As a Christian witness with respect to Rome, I draw attention to what the great 19th

century preacher Dr H. Grattan Guinness had to say about the Catholic Church, from

his book Romanism and the Reformation:

“I see the great Apostacy, I see the desolation of Christendom, I see the smoking ru-

ins, I see the reign of monsters; I see those vice-gods, that Gregory VII, that Innocent

III, that Boniface VIII, that Alexander VI, that Gregory XIII, that Pius IX; I see their

long succession, I hear their insufferable blasphemies, I see their abominable lives, I

see them worshipped by blinded generations, bestowing hollow benedictions, barter-

ing lying indulgences, creating a paganized Christianity; I see their liveried slaves,

their shaven priests, their celibate confessors; I see the infamous confessional, the ru-

ined women, the murdered innocents; I hear the lying absolutions, the dying groans; I

hear the cries of the victims; I hear the anathemas, the curses, the thunders of the in-

terdicts; I see the racks, the dungeons, the stakes; I see that inhuman Inquisition, those

fires of Smithfield, those butcheries of St Bartholomew, that Spanish Armada, those

unspeakable dragonnades, that endless train of wars, that dreaded multitude of mas-

sacres. I see it all,

“And in the name of the ruin it has brought in the Church and in the world, in the

name of the truth it has denied, the temple it has defiled, the God it has blasphemed,

the souls it has destroyed; in the name of the millions it has deluded; the millions it

has slaughtered, the millions it has damned,

“With holy confessors, with noble reformers, with innumerable martyrs, with the

saints of ages, I denounce it as the masterpiece of Satan, as the body and soul and es-

sence of antichrist.”

Amen!

Notes:

1. The table lists 37 passages of scripture that James White designates as “problems in the KJV,”

The King James Only Controversy pp 223ff.

2. James White insists that the modern versions, NIV, NASV, NKJV, largely correct these “prob-

lems” and that these 37 passages are typical of modern ‘improvements’ over the AV1611. This

writer’s review of White’s book shows that they are not. See www.timefortruth.co.uk/why-av-

only/james-white-dr-divietro-and-dawaite.php KJO Review Full Text.

3. These 37 passages have therefore been used for comparison with the AV1611 for pre-1611 and

post-1611 bibles to show that White’s ‘improvements’ are apostasy.

4. The table lists the results for comparison of these 37 passages with the AV1611 for 17 bibles in

total. Readings are omitted but may be checked via the sources listed.

5. A clear cell denotes agreement between the specified bible and the AV1611 with respect to the

sense of the reading, although the wording may differ.

6. A shaded cell denotes departure of a bible from the AV1611. Marked cells denote:

2013 – the 2013 NWT departs from the AV1611, the 1984 NWT does not.

CR - the Challoner’s Revision departs from the AV1611, the 1610 DR does not.

DR - the 1610 DR departs from the AV1611, the Challoner’s Revision does not.

f.n. – the NKJV f.n. footnote departs from the AV1611, the NKJV text does not.

NJB - the NJB departs from the AV1611, the JB does not.

7. 5 pre-1611 bibles have been used with the 1611 and current i.e. 2011+ AV1611s; WY, Wycliffe,

TY/C, Tyndale/Coverdale in the Old Testament, BIS, Bishops’, GEN, Geneva. No changes ex-

ist for the 37 passages for the 1611, 2011+ AV1611 Texts.

8. 12 post-1611 bibles have been used; DR/CR, Douay-Rheims 1610 and Challoner’s Revision

1749-1752, RV, Revised Version, JB/N, Jerusalem and New Jerusalem Bibles, NWT, 1984,

2013 New World Translations, NASV, 1977, 1995 New American Standard Versions, NIV,

1984, 2011 New International Versions, NKJ, New King James Version. No changes exist for

the 37 passages for the 1977, 1995 NASVs, 1984, 2011 NIVs. Sources for the DR/CR, RV,

9. The table shows that divergence of the pre-1611 bibles from the AV1611 Text for the 37 pas-

sages decreases markedly as successive translations appear. The corresponding increasing con-

vergence of the pre-1611 bibles with the AV1611 parallels the advance of the English Refor-

mation from its inception in the 14th century to its maturity in the 16th century, followed by its

crowning achievement early in the 17th century - the AV1611 Holy Bible.

10. The table shows further that the post-1611 bibles not only diverge increasingly from the

AV1611 Text, with Rome and Watchtower but the ‘fundamentalist’ versions, NIV, NASV, di-

verge from the AV1611 even more than today’s Papist and JW versions, changing well over

90% of the test passages. Even the ‘conservative’ NKJV is the same, with over 85% departures,

typical for AV1611 versus NKJV comparisons if NKJV f.ns. are included – 30%+ is typical for

NKJV text-only departures from the AV1611, considerably less but still appreciable. In sum,

the accelerating departure of the post-1611 bibles from the AV1611 corresponds to the deepen-

ing apostasy of the church in these last days. All modern bibles are germane to this apostasy.
