The Papacy is preparing.. Are you?
Dear Friend,
The Pope’s latest encyclical can read like an ideological bombshell. However, when we study papal history with its obsession for global power, it is not so shocking. The Pa-pacy has an agenda for the United Nations, economic institutions, and international fi-nance organizations. The Pope has called for the crafting of a new governmental body above these groups and intends that the new body be equipped with enforcement power on a startling scale. Much more sobering is the detailed body of Roman Catholic social doctrine on which the encyclical is built and which the Papacy is in the process of insti-tuting secularly. These documents need to be analyzed and rejected before nations and peoples unwittingly concede both temporal and religious control to the Vatican. We have outlined the heart of the major tactics found in the body of Roman Catholic social doctrine, which includes the Pope’s latest encyclical. Our article is called; “The Pope’s Plans on Organizing Political, Economic, and Religious Activities Worldwide.” We consider this to be one of the more important analyzes we have done. I ask therefore that you forward the article to many Christians who need to take heed. I request also, if possible, that you post it on your Website or blog. The article is below.

The Pope’s Plans on Organizing
Political, Economic and Religious Activities Worldwide
By Richard Bennett
On June 29, 2009, Pope Benedict XVI published a new encyclical entitled “Caritas in Veritate (Charity in Truth).”1 After a list of Roman Catholic people to whom the document is ad-dressed, it inclusively states, “and [to] all people of good will.” The Pope’s audience is to be not only the adherents of the Church of Rome, but also all those who claim to believe that jus-tice, integrity, and love are the ethical foundations of human wellbeing. Thus to induce others into his line of thinking, the Pope includes leaders and followers of every religious creed, social dogma, economic and political persuasion. Many who purport to be Evangelical are already actively endorsing Papal Rome. For example, a Presbyterian conference to be held January 2010 is to offer “insight into some of the factors involved in Protestants converting to the Ro-man Church” and a study of the influence of the Vatican Council II in order to learn from the Roman Catholic communities.2 One of fifty books offered on the Internet explains how you can accept Roman Catholicism. It states, “If you are of a Baptist or Evangelical persuasion … get an understanding of how Catholicism corrects and fulfills many of the strands of theology.”3 Thus the Papacy moves ahead with strategic dialogue for enlisting every civil regime and all major religious establishments worldwide
The Pope’s latest encyclical does not stand alone. Rather it is only the most recent ad-dition to the corpus of Roman Catholic social doctrine. Catholic social doctrine, a tool of the Papacy, has been and is being carefully honed and directed toward gaining both spiritual and temporal control over all nations.
Historically the Papacy has been obsessed with world control. It could not and did not arise until after the power of the Imperial Roman Empire had disintegrated. The horrendous persecutions of Bible believers in earlier centuries did not cause them to give up their faith but instead created turmoil within the authority structure of the Imperial Roman Empire. Conse-quently, the Emperor Constantine in 313AD declared Christianity to be the official state relig-ion. This gave Christians legitimate status within the Imperial Empire. Accordingly, Constan-tine organized the newly designated official religion under four districts, very much as was his military. Thus he replaced the biblical structure of the church with a new military style struc-ture. In the fifth century, as the Imperial Roman Empire destabilized, the bishops of the realm, particularly the Bishop of Rome, were called on for advice. Gradually through this setting they gained legal authority in the civil arena. In the sixth century the Emperor Justinian sought the use the “Christian” state church as a stabilizing force to thwart the disintegration of the Imperial Roman Empire, which had been established and held together by military might. Justinian’s edict in 538 AD proclaimed the bishop of Rome “the Head of all the holy churches.”4 Thus he declared the Bishop of Rome head of the state church over all four districts of the Imperial Ro-man Empire. By 800 AD, however, the shoe was on the other foot when the Pope as religious leader of the Holy Roman Empire crowned Charlemagne as its Emperor.
It was Hildebrand, Pope Gregory VII, in the eleventh century who nailed down the legal power base of papal canon law so that it became incorporated into Western civilization in the legal system. Through Hildebrand’s claim of divine authority for his teaching, the Papacy in the succeeding centuries was able to surpass the kings and princes with whom it fought for su-preme authority in the Holy Roman Empire. It was through Popes Innocent III and Boniface VIII that Hildebrand’s strategy was fully implemented throughout the Holy Roman Empire. Innocent III’s contribution was principally to turn the Crusades from being used against Islam to being used against those whom the Papacy termed “heretics.” The Roman Catholic Church as part of the civil state had the authority to define and teach the Christian faith. Therefore, what ever the Papacy called heresy was a civil offense, and civil authority could be used to enforce conformity to the state religion. Thus the infamous Inquisition began in 1203 against the pros-perous Bible believing Albigenses.5 The Inquisition, the Papacy’s bloody tool for enforcing submission to its dictates by both kings and common people, lasted over 600 years across Europe. Upwards of fifty million people were tortured and killed, their goods and lands confis-cated to the Papal treasury.6 Nobody was exempt.
The beginnings of the breakup of the Holy Roman Empire manifested in the sixteenth century and seemed complete at the end of the eighteenth century. The power of the Papacy with its enforcer, the Inquisition, was broken by the recovery of the Bible and the true biblical Gospel, which were the power of the Reformation of the sixteenth century. Apparent final de-mise of the Holy Roman Empire and the Inquisition occurred when Napoleon’s army entered the Vatican and removed Pope Pius VI from his throne. With that, the destruction of the Holy Roman Empire per se was complete, for the Papacy had lost the last vestige of its basis as a civil power. The Papacy at that point had neither military might nor civil authority infrastruc-ture by which to enforce its rule through its Inquisitors.
Current Papal Progress towards Moral and Judicial Authority
The kind of world government Pope Benedict XVI is seeking to advance is one over which the Papacy would again sit as moral and judicial authority. It is to be a one-world civil body com-posed of member nations, all of whom are equal in status and power. Over the civil body of member nations is to be a political governing body which in turn will enforce through civil law the ideas of Catholic social doctrine. While papal plans for accomplishing this agenda are still being formulated, much of their strategy and practice is already at work in the world.
First, the Roman Catholic Church still claims that its popes, who sit in the Chair of Pe-ter, are each in his time “the Vicar of Christ.”7 As such he claims the right and the duty to judge everybody and every institution of whatever kind and magnitude. In present day canon law, Canon 1405 states that it is the right of the Pope to judge those in highest civil offices.8 Canon 333, Sect. 3 states, “There is neither repeal nor recourse against a decision or decree of the Roman Pontiff.” Pope Pius XI’s encyclical “Quadragesimo Anno,” is part of the corpus of Roman Catholic social doctrine. It states “[T]hat principle which Leo XIII so clearly estab-lished must be laid down at the outset here, namely, that there resides in Us [the Papacy] the right and duty to pronounce with supreme authority upon social and economic matters.”9 These documents, and many others, state emphatically that the modern day Papacy has right and duty to pronounce with supreme authority upon social and economic matte
Second, the papal plan will require a new social order as defined by the corpus of Ro-man Catholic social doctrine. The new social order does not apply to the Papacy itself, which is claimed to be divinely instituted, or in their terminology “from above.” It does apply to all peo-ples, all lay Roman Catholics, all civil and secular structures. These all are designated as tem-poral, or “from below.” This distinction is absolutely primary to the Papacy.
The new social structure will include every human person of the temporal realm. In his latest encyclical Benedict, citing Pope Paul VI, states, “authentic human development concerns the whole of the person in every single dimension.”10 And, “The truth of development consists in its completeness: if it does not involve the whole man and every man, it is not true [authen-tic]…development.”11 What many true Bible believers may not understand is that “the whole man and every man” in the temporal realm will be required to conform to the goals of the world administration devised by the Popes of Rome and enforced by the nation states and the govern-ing body superior to them.
The Conformity that will be Mandatory
In order to implement this agenda, the Compendium of [Roman] Catholic Social Doctrine has already spelled out some of the necessary compliances. For example, nobody will be allowed to refrain from cooperating in “the common good.” “The common good” is officially defined as follows,
“The principle of the common good, to which every aspect of social life must be related if it is to attain its fullest meaning, stems from the dignity, unity and equality of all people…the common good indicates ‘the sum total of social conditions which allow people, either as groups or as individuals, to reach their fulfilment more fully and more easily…The common good, in fact, can be understood as the social and community dimension of the moral good.”12
Benedict’s encyclical makes much of requiring freedom for the individual “human person” and for the Papacy. This is totally a ploy as there is no freedom allowed for anyone in the temporal realm. Thus Compendium states, “The common good therefore involves all members of soci-ety, no one [in the temporal realm] is exempt from cooperating, according to each one’s possibilities, in attaining it and developing it.”13 Further, all private property and goods are to be subject to papal ruling on whether it is being used for “the common good.” The Compen-dium, of which this latest papal encyclical is a part, states the position to which Benedict holds. Its directive is the following,
“Putting the principal of the universal destination of goods into concrete practice…means that methods, limits and objects must be precisely defined…If it is true that everyone is born with the right to use the goods of the earth, it is likewise true that, in order to ensure that this right is exercised in an equitable and orderly fashion, regulated interventions are necessary, interventions that are the result of national and international agreements, and a juridical order that adjudicates and specifies the exercise of this right.” 14
While this is astonishing, the directives become worse, the Compendium states,
“Christian [i.e., Roman Catholic] tradition has never recognized the right to private property as absolute and untouchable: ‘On the contrary, it has always understood this right within the broader context of the right common to all to use the goods of the whole of creation: the right to private property is subordinated to the right to common use, to the fact that goods are meant for everyone.” 15
The idea that “goods are meant for everyone” is a principal that inspired Marxism and has been practiced in all the communist regimes of the Soviet Union, North Korea, China, Yugoslavia, Cuba, Hungary, etc. The Compendium continues,
“The Church’s social teaching moreover calls for recognition of the social function of any form of private ownership that clearly refers to its necessary relation to the common good….The universal destination of goods entails obligations on how goods are to be used by their legitimate owners…From this there arises the duty on the part of owners not to let the goods in their possession go idle and to channel them to productive activity, even entrusting them to others who are desirous and capable of putting them to use in produc-tion. 16
“New technological and scientific knowledge must be placed at the service of mankind’s primary needs, gradually increasing humanity’s common patrimony. Putting the principle of the universal destination of goods into full effect therefore requires action at the interna-tional level and planned programmes on the part of all countries.”17
Whatever papal Rome teaches on economics, re-distribution of wealth, and social justice, it does so even while seated as a primary player in international industry and banking. Being in-ternational itself, the Papacy wants increasing influence on an international level.
Clearly Roman Catholic social doctrine envisions neither a communist nor a welfare state because it holds that all goods, including private property, are to be at the service of civil authorities. These authorities will direct how, when, and by whom all goods are to be used. Further, the Papacy understands that people do not come easily or willingly to accept govern-mental authority over the use of their privately owned goods. But it is expected that over time,
therefore, are not the legitimate concern of civil government. Rather, they are the legitimate concern of individuals and of the church.
In his latest encyclical, however, the Pope makes use of the concept of “subsidiarity,” a concept which does not apply to the Papacy. He writes,
“A particular manifestation of charity and a guiding criterion for fraternal cooperation be-tween believers and non-believers is undoubtedly the principle of subsidiarity an expression of inalienable human freedom. Subsidiarity is first and foremost a form of assistance to the human person via the autonomy of intermediate bodies. Such assistance is offered when individuals or groups are unable to accomplish something on their own, and it is always de-signed to achieve their emancipation, because it fosters freedom and participation through assumption of responsibility. Subsidiarity respects personal dignity by recognizing in the person a subject who is always capable of giving something to others.” 24
The Pope gives the impression that the Papacy itself accepts and lives by the principle of sub-sidiarity. In its official teaching and practice it does no such thing. Regarding individual per-sons and the basic rights of families, the Papacy claims and exercises its power. It claims to have absolute authority over families in its legislation over marriage, even its validity and un-making.25 In its present Code of Canon Law, Canon 1671 states, “Marriage cases of the bap-tized belong to the ecclesiastical judge by the proper right.” In Canon 1142 the Pope legislates, “For a just cause, the Roman Pontiff can dissolve a non-consummated marriage between bap-tized persons or between a baptized party and a non-baptized party at the request of both parties or of one of them, even if the other party is unwilling.” These are just two of the more than one hundred ten canon laws that Church of Rome legislates on family life for Catholics around the world.26 Thus the Pope’s statement concerning subsidiarity and “inalienable human freedom” is simply a ruse and strategy to conceal his true intentions. In a similar way while speaking of the sovereignty of governments, the Papacy claims authority over nations across the world. Pope Benedict, in speaking of the principle of subsidiarity, uses it to fashion a façade under which he operates to capture power over families and nations. Thus the Pope with many long sentences of many words attempts to entice authorities worldwide to institute the Vatican’s policies.
The thrust of the latest encyclical is to promote the “reform” of the United Nations, economic institutions and international finance so that a newly established authority will be able legally to enforce papal social doctrine among nations that belong to this world body.
this is what is being articulated in its Section 67, “In the face of the unrelenting growth of global interdependence, there is a strongly felt need…for a reform of the United Nations Organization, and likewise of economic institu-tions and international finance, so that the concept of the family of nations can acquire real teeth…Such an authority would need to be regulated by law, to observe consistently the principles of subsidiarity and solidarity, to seek to establish the common good, and to make a commitment to securing authentic integral human development inspired by the values of charity in truth. Furthermore, such an authority would need to be universally recognized and to be vested with the effective power to ensure security for all, regard for justice, and respect for rights. Obviously it would have to have the authority to ensure compliance with its decisions from all parties, and also with the coordinated measures adopted in various in-ternational forums…The integral development of peoples and international coopera-tion…also require the construction of a social order that at last conforms to the moral order, to the interconnection between moral and social spheres, and to the link between politics and the economic and civil spheres as envisage by the charter of the United Nations.
The papal call for reforming the United Nations, economic institutions and international finance under a new universal authority has come a little over a century since the public advent of the new Roman Catholic social doctrine. Strong nations still have to be leveled to be economically equal with the third world nations. Capitalists still abound and stand in the way of redistribu-tion of their goods. National governments throughout world continue to be regulated by inter-nal laws and accountability measures. As such, they are not so quick to give over their national sovereignty. Thus the Papacy wants a world civil authority that is able “to ensure compliance with its decisions from all parties.” It means that the Papacy, in spite of all its talk of peace, understands red-letter perfect the necessity of a new universal civil authority that possesses co-ercive powers to enforce effectively its decisions on every nation. Finally, it is the Pope, as the purported “Vicar of Christ”, and his Vatican that will declare what is the correct “interconnec-tion between moral and social spheres.” Regarding politics, economics and civil governments of all levels – or the temporal sphere – the new universal temporal authority will enforce these papal declarations. Section 67 of the latest encyclical, when placed in the context of the corpus of Roman Catholic social doctrine, shows that the Papacy is very much obsessed with gaining the power to have all of the world under its control
“Pincer Tactic”
The Papacy is engaged in applying a classic pincer tactic of squeezing from the top and the bot-tom to capture its objective. It is employing both the civil governments, as shown above, and the Catholic lay faithful to achieve its objective. The Pope as the “supreme t
he Roman Catholic Church has decreed the following for its lay people.
“In the tasks of evangelization, that is to say, of teaching, catechesis and formation that the church social doctrine inspires,It is addressed to every Christian (i.e. Catholic).
“This social doctrine implies as well responsibilities regarding the building, organization and functioning of society, that is to say, political, economic and administrative obligations — obligations of a secular nature — which belong to the lay faithful, not to priests or reli-gious. These responsibilities belong to the laity in a distinctive manner, by reason of the secular condition of their state of life, and of the secular nature of their vocation.
By fulfill-ing these responsibilities, the lay faithful put the
and thus fulfil the Church’s secular mission.” 28
“Testimony to Christ's charity, through works of justice, peace and development [as defined by Roman Catholic social doctrine]… form the basis for the missionary aspect of the Church's social doctrine, which is an essential element of evangelization.
The Church's social doctrine proclaims and bears witness to faith [in the Roman Catholic church 29 . It is an instrument and an indespensable setting for formation in faith.30
The Papacy has put real teeth into its dictates on this issue: “Insofar as it is part of the Church's moral teaching, the Church's social doctrine has the same dignity and authority as her moral teaching. It is authentic Magisterium, which obligates the faithful to adhere to it.”31 The duty of all lay Catholics to evangelize by teaching and implementing Roman Catholic social doctrine everywhere in secular society is obligatory on pain of excommunication. This means that the Papacy has a dependable fifth column in every nation where Catholics are found.
The Papacy’s vision is this: it claims the divine right to organize the whole human race by whatever means necessary to participate in its “divine vision” because “Man's earthly activ-ity, when inspired and sustained by charity, contributes to the building of the universal city of God, which is the goal of the history of the human family. In an increasingly globalized soci-ety, the common good and the effort to obtain it cannot fail to assume the dimensions of the whole human family, that is to say, the community of peoples and nations, in such a way as to shape the earthly city in unity and peace, rendering it to some degree an anticipation and a pre-figuration of the undivided city of God.”32
Conclusion
To organize “the community of peoples and nations, in such a way as to shape the earthly city” is to work to implement a terrible snare. The Lord Jesus clearly proclaimed, “My kingdom is not of this world.”33 The Lord fulfilled all righteousness in respect to fearing God and fulfilling His law. Plainly, the kingdom of the Lord Jesus Christ is heavenly, not a “globalized society” on earth. True believers in the Lord Jesus Christ live in the world as He did. They are in the world, but they not of the world. In contrast, the kingdom of the Pope of Rome is very much of this world. Papal Rome binds men in political, economic and religious activities. Papal pro-nouncements documented here can only be understood in the light of the Pontiff’s continued plans for world government. His presupposition is that the kingdom of God already exists in the Roman Catholic Church. This is consistent with his teaching in his new Catechism, “The [Roman Catholic] Church is the seed and beginning of this kingdom. Its keys are entrusted to Peter.”34 His documented statements are an affront to the Lord Jesus Christ in His work of re-demption. Likewise they are an affront to the Holy Spirit in His ministry of convincing the world of sin, righteousness and judgment. The Apostle Paul wrote under the direction of the Holy Spirit, “the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighte-ousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness.”35 Who can bear with the devouring fire of God’s everlasting wrath? The good news is that personal faith and salvation are also from His hand, “Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Savior, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins.”36 The Scripture proclaims, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved.” The Lord Himself declared, “He that believeth, and is baptized, shall be saved; he that believeth not shall be damned.” The Lord will always be mer-ciful to those who turn to Him in faith for the remission of sins. He clearly said, “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest to your souls.”
Before the all-holy God, according to the Bible, an individual is saved by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone. Following on this, all glory and praise is to God alone! ♦

It states “[T]hat principle which Leo XIII so clearly estab-lished must be laid down at the outset here, namely, that there resides in Us [the Papacy] the right and duty to pronounce with supreme authority upon social and economic matters.”9 These documents, and many others, state emphatically that the modern day Papacy has right and duty to pronounce with supreme authority upon social and economic matte
Second, the papal plan will require a new social order as defined by the corpus of Ro-man Catholic social doctrine. The new social order does not apply to the Papacy itself, which is claimed to be divinely instituted, or in their terminology “from above.” It does apply to all peo-ples, all lay Roman Catholics, all civil and secular structures. These all are designated as tem-poral, or “from below.” This distinction is absolutely primary to the Papacy.
The new social structure will include every human person of the temporal realm. In his latest encyclical Benedict, citing Pope Paul VI, states, “authentic human development concerns the whole of the person in every single dimension.”10 And, “The truth of development consists in its completeness: if it does not involve the whole man and every man, it is not true [authen-tic]…development.”11 What many true Bible believers may not understand is that “the whole man and every man” in the temporal realm will be required to conform to the goals of the world administration devised by the Popes of Rome and enforced by the nation states and the govern-ing body superior to them.
The Conformity that will be Mandatory
In order to implement this agenda, the Compendium of [Roman] Catholic Social Doctrine has already spelled out some of the necessary compliances. For example, nobody will be allowed to refrain from cooperating in “the common good.” “The common good” is officially defined as follows,
“The principle of the common good, to which every aspect of social life must be related if it is to attain its fullest meaning, stems from the dignity, unity and equality of all people…the common good indicates ‘the sum total of social conditions which allow people, either as groups or as individuals, to reach their fulfilment more fully and more easily…The common good, in fact, can be understood as the social and community dimension of the moral good.”12
Benedict’s encyclical makes much of requiring freedom for the individual “human person” and for the Papacy. This is totally a ploy as there is no freedom allowed for anyone in the temporal realm. Thus Compendium states, “The common good therefore involves all members of soci-ety, no one [in the temporal realm] is exempt from cooperating, according to each one’s possibilities, in attaining it and developing it.”13 Further, all private property and goods are to be subject to papal ruling on whether it is being used for “the common good.” The Compen-dium, of which this latest papal encyclical is a part, states the position to which Benedict holds. Its directive is the following,
“Putting the principal of the universal destination of goods into concrete practice…means that methods, limits and objects must be precisely defined…If it is true that everyone is born with the right to use the goods of the earth, it is likewise true that, in order to ensure that this right is exercised in an equitable and orderly fashion, regulated interventions are necessary, interventions that are the result of national and international agreements, and a juridical order that adjudicates and specifies the exercise of this right.” 14
While this is astonishing, the directives become worse, the Compendium states,
“Christian [i.e., Roman Catholic] tradition has never recognized the right to private property as absolute and untouchable: ‘On the contrary, it has always understood this right within the broader context of the right common to all to use the goods of the whole of creation: the right to private property is subordinated to the right to common use, to the fact that goods are meant for everyone.” 15
The idea that “goods are meant for everyone” is a principal that inspired Marxism and has been practiced in all the communist regimes of the Soviet Union, North Korea, China, Yugoslavia, Cuba, Hungary, etc. The Compendium continues,
“The Church’s social teaching moreover calls for recognition of the social function of any form of private ownership that clearly refers to its necessary relation to the common good….The universal destination of goods entails obligations on how goods are to be used by their legitimate owners…From this there arises the duty on the part of owners not to let the goods in their possession go idle and to channel them to productive activity, even entrusting them to others who are desirous and capable of putting them to use in produc-tion. 16
“New technological and scientific knowledge must be placed at the service of mankind’s primary needs, gradually increasing humanity’s common patrimony. Putting the principle of the universal destination of goods into full effect therefore requires action at the interna-tional level and planned programmes on the part of all countries.”17
Whatever papal Rome teaches on economics, re-distribution of wealth, and social justice, it does so even while seated as a primary player in international industry and banking. Being in-ternational itself, the Papacy wants increasing influence on an international level.
Clearly Roman Catholic social doctrine envisions neither a communist nor a welfare state because it holds that all goods, including private property, are to be at the service of civil authorities. These authorities will direct how, when, and by whom all goods are to be used. Further, the Papacy understands that people do not come easily or willingly to accept govern-mental authority over the use of their privately owned goods. But it is expected that over time,
therefore, are not the legitimate concern of civil government. Rather, they are the legitimate concern of individuals and of the church.
In his latest encyclical, however, the Pope makes use of the concept of “subsidiarity,” a concept which does not apply to the Papacy. He writes,
“A particular manifestation of charity and a guiding criterion for fraternal cooperation be-tween believers and non-believers is undoubtedly the principle of subsidiarity an expression of inalienable human freedom. Subsidiarity is first and foremost a form of assistance to the human person via the autonomy of intermediate bodies. Such assistance is offered when individuals or groups are unable to accomplish something on their own, and it is always de-signed to achieve their emancipation, because it fosters freedom and participation through assumption of responsibility. Subsidiarity respects personal dignity by recognizing in the person a subject who is always capable of giving something to others.” 24
The Pope gives the impression that the Papacy itself accepts and lives by the principle of sub-sidiarity. In its official teaching and practice it does no such thing. Regarding individual per-sons and the basic rights of families, the Papacy claims and exercises its power. It claims to have absolute authority over families in its legislation over marriage, even its validity and un-making.25 In its present Code of Canon Law, Canon 1671 states, “Marriage cases of the bap-tized belong to the ecclesiastical judge by the proper right.” In Canon 1142 the Pope legislates, “For a just cause, the Roman Pontiff can dissolve a non-consummated marriage between bap-tized persons or between a baptized party and a non-baptized party at the request of both parties or of one of them, even if the other party is unwilling.” These are just two of the more than one hundred ten canon laws that Church of Rome legislates on family life for Catholics around the world.26 Thus the Pope’s statement concerning subsidiarity and “inalienable human freedom” is simply a ruse and strategy to conceal his true intentions. In a similar way while speaking of the sovereignty of governments, the Papacy claims authority over nations across the world. Pope Benedict, in speaking of the principle of subsidiarity, uses it to fashion a façade under which he operates to capture power over families and nations. Thus the Pope with many long sentences of many words attempts to entice authorities worldwide to institute the Vatican’s policies.
The thrust of the latest encyclical is to promote the “reform” of the United Nations, economic institutions and international finance so that a newly established authority will be able legally to enforce papal social doctrine among nations that belong to this world body.
this is what is being articulated in its Section 67, “In the face of the unrelenting growth of global interdependence, there is a strongly felt need…for a reform of the United Nations Organization, and likewise of economic institu-tions and international finance, so that the concept of the family of nations can acquire real teeth…Such an authority would need to be regulated by law, to observe consistently the principles of subsidiarity and solidarity, to seek to establish the common good, and to make a commitment to securing authentic integral human development inspired by the values of charity in truth. Furthermore, such an authority would need to be universally recognized and to be vested with the effective power to ensure security for all, regard for justice, and respect for rights. Obviously it would have to have the authority to ensure compliance with its decisions from all parties, and also with the coordinated measures adopted in various in-ternational forums…The integral development of peoples and international coopera-tion…also require the construction of a social order that at last conforms to the moral order, to the interconnection between moral and social spheres, and to the link between politics and the economic and civil spheres as envisage by the charter of the United Nations.
The papal call for reforming the United Nations, economic institutions and international finance under a new universal authority has come a little over a century since the public advent of the new Roman Catholic social doctrine. Strong nations still have to be leveled to be economically equal with the third world nations. Capitalists still abound and stand in the way of redistribu-tion of their goods. National governments throughout world continue to be regulated by inter-nal laws and accountability measures. As such, they are not so quick to give over their national sovereignty. Thus the Papacy wants a world civil authority that is able “to ensure compliance with its decisions from all parties.” It means that the Papacy, in spite of all its talk of peace, understands red-letter perfect the necessity of a new universal civil authority that possesses co-ercive powers to enforce effectively its decisions on every nation. Finally, it is the Pope, as the purported “Vicar of Christ”, and his Vatican that will declare what is the correct “interconnec-tion between moral and social spheres.” Regarding politics, economics and civil governments of all levels – or the temporal sphere – the new universal temporal authority will enforce these papal declarations. Section 67 of the latest encyclical, when placed in the context of the corpus of Roman Catholic social doctrine, shows that the Papacy is very much obsessed with gaining the power to have all of the world under its control
“Pincer Tactic”
The Papacy is engaged in applying a classic pincer tactic of squeezing from the top and the bot-tom to capture its objective. It is employing both the civil governments, as shown above, and the Catholic lay faithful to achieve its objective. The Pope as the “supreme t
he Roman Catholic Church has decreed the following for its lay people.
“In the tasks of evangelization, that is to say, of teaching, catechesis and formation that the church social doctrine inspires,It is addressed to every Christian (i.e. Catholic).
“This social doctrine implies as well responsibilities regarding the building, organization and functioning of society, that is to say, political, economic and administrative obligations — obligations of a secular nature — which belong to the lay faithful, not to priests or reli-gious. These responsibilities belong to the laity in a distinctive manner, by reason of the secular condition of their state of life, and of the secular nature of their vocation.
By fulfill-ing these responsibilities, the lay faithful put the
and thus fulfil the Church’s secular mission.” 28
“Testimony to Christ's charity, through works of justice, peace and development [as defined by Roman Catholic social doctrine]… form the basis for the missionary aspect of the Church's social doctrine, which is an essential element of evangelization.
The Church's social doctrine proclaims and bears witness to faith [in the Roman Catholic church 29 . It is an instrument and an indespensable setting for formation in faith.30
The Papacy has put real teeth into its dictates on this issue: “Insofar as it is part of the Church's moral teaching, the Church's social doctrine has the same dignity and authority as her moral teaching. It is authentic Magisterium, which obligates the faithful to adhere to it.”31 The duty of all lay Catholics to evangelize by teaching and implementing Roman Catholic social doctrine everywhere in secular society is obligatory on pain of excommunication. This means that the Papacy has a dependable fifth column in every nation where Catholics are found.
The Papacy’s vision is this: it claims the divine right to organize the whole human race by whatever means necessary to participate in its “divine vision” because “Man's earthly activ-ity, when inspired and sustained by charity, contributes to the building of the universal city of God, which is the goal of the history of the human family. In an increasingly globalized soci-ety, the common good and the effort to obtain it cannot fail to assume the dimensions of the whole human family, that is to say, the community of peoples and nations, in such a way as to shape the earthly city in unity and peace, rendering it to some degree an anticipation and a pre-figuration of the undivided city of God.”32
Conclusion
To organize “the community of peoples and nations, in such a way as to shape the earthly city” is to work to implement a terrible snare. The Lord Jesus clearly proclaimed, “My kingdom is not of this world.”33 The Lord fulfilled all righteousness in respect to fearing God and fulfilling His law. Plainly, the kingdom of the Lord Jesus Christ is heavenly, not a “globalized society” on earth. True believers in the Lord Jesus Christ live in the world as He did. They are in the world, but they not of the world. In contrast, the kingdom of the Pope of Rome is very much of this world. Papal Rome binds men in political, economic and religious activities. Papal pro-nouncements documented here can only be understood in the light of the Pontiff’s continued plans for world government. His presupposition is that the kingdom of God already exists in the Roman Catholic Church. This is consistent with his teaching in his new Catechism, “The [Roman Catholic] Church is the seed and beginning of this kingdom. Its keys are entrusted to Peter.”34 His documented statements are an affront to the Lord Jesus Christ in His work of re-demption. Likewise they are an affront to the Holy Spirit in His ministry of convincing the world of sin, righteousness and judgment. The Apostle Paul wrote under the direction of the Holy Spirit, “the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighte-ousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness.”35 Who can bear with the devouring fire of God’s everlasting wrath? The good news is that personal faith and salvation are also from His hand, “Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Savior, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins.”36 The Scripture proclaims, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved.” The Lord Himself declared, “He that believeth, and is baptized, shall be saved; he that believeth not shall be damned.” The Lord will always be mer-ciful to those who turn to Him in faith for the remission of sins. He clearly said, “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest to your souls.”
Before the all-holy God, according to the Bible, an individual is saved by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone. Following on this, all glory and praise is to God alone! ♦

Winds of Strife ,Sealing,Time of trouble .What do they mean for Adventism
REVELATION 7
1 And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree.2 And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea, 3 Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.
Wind 1 (War Physical violence bloodshed nation against nation and city against city)
Job 1:14 And there came a messenger unto Job, and said, The oxen were plowing, and the asses feeding beside them:
15 And the Sabeans fell upon them , and took them away; yea, they have slain the servants with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.
Wind 2 (means of Wealth destroyed/Economic implements)
16While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The fire of God is fallen from heaven, and hath burned up the sheep, and the servants, and consumed them; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.
Wind 2 (means of Wealth destroyed/Economic implements)
17The Chaldeans made out three bands, and fell upon the camels, and have carried them away, yea, and slain the servants with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.
Wind 3 (Relatives Killed Natural Disaster)
18 While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, Thy sons and thy daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house:
19 And, behold, there came a great wind from the wilderness, and smote the four corners of the house, and it fell upon the young men, and they are dead; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.
Where is Wind 4 ?lets look in Job2.
Wind 4 (Disease)
Job 2:7 So went Satan forth from the presence of the LORD, and smote Job with sore boils from the sole of his foot unto his crown.
8 And he took him a potsherd to scrape himself withal; and he sat down among the ashes.
God removes his protective hands hence, Satan takes control where God cease to protect.
Evidence of this is found the BLESSINGS AND CURSINGS in Leviticus which is connected to the 2520 time prophecies.Also it is found in Spirit of Prophecy .
The Blessings in Leviticus 26
4 Then I will give you rain in due season, and the land shall yield her increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit. 5 And your threshing shall reach unto the vintage, and the vintage shall reach unto the sowing time: and ye shall eat your bread to the full, and dwell in your land safely. (Economic wealth)
6 And I will give peace in the land, and ye shall lie down, and none shall make you afraid: and I will rid evil beasts out of the land, neither shall the sword go through your land. (suffer no Bloodshed or lost of life due to war)
7 And ye shall chase your enemies, and they shall fall before you by the sword.
8 And five of you shall chase a hundred, and a hundred of you shall put ten thousand to flight: and your enemies shall fall before you by the sword.
9 For I will have respect unto you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you, and establish my covenant with you.
10 And ye shall eat old store, and bring forth the old because of the new.
11 And I will set my tabernacle among you: and my soul shall not abhor you.
12 And I will walk among you, and will be your God, and ye shall be my people.
13 I am the LORD your God, which brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, that ye should not be their bondmen; and I have broken the bands of your yoke, and made you go upright.
Cursings for breaking the Covenant in Leviticus 26
14 But if ye will not hearken unto me, and will not do all these commandments;
15 And if ye shall despise my statutes, or if your soul abhor my judgments, so that ye will not do all my commandments, but that ye break my covenant:
16 I also will do this unto you; I will even appoint over you terror, consumption, and the burning ague, that shall consume the eyes, and cause sorrow of heart: and ye shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it. (Sickness ,disease and Lost of economic wealth)
17 And I will set my face against you, and ye shall be slain before your enemies: they that hate you shall reign over you; and ye shall flee when none pursueth you. (Blood shed)
18 And if ye will not yet for all this hearken unto me, then I will punish you seven times more for your sins.
Last Days Events Says:
“I was shown that the judgments of God would not come directly out from the Lord upon them, but in this way: They place themselves beyond His protection. He warns, corrects, reproves, and points out the only path of safety; then, if those who have been the objects of His special care will follow their own course, independent of the Spirit of God, after repeated warnings, if they choose their own way, then He does not commission His angels to prevent Satan's decided attacks upon them.
It is Satan's power that is at work at sea and on land, bringing calamity and distress and sweeping off multitudes to make sure of his prey.--14MR 3 (1883). {LDE 242.2}
God removes his protecting hands then the “Winds” are let loose
Notice With Job the first winds to be felt was that of Sword ,violence and war causing the lost of life within his household.
• Would Abaddon And Apollyon Rev 9:11 ,the destructive hand of Islam stir up bloodshed?
• Would Islam kick start the time of trouble?
• Would the marriage of the UN, Catholic church and USA (Dragon,Beast and False Prophet Revelation 16:13, Revelation 16:13,16:19) combine forces to fight radical Islam ?
• Would this Union so much succeed that it would be the seen as the solution to all fundamentalist religion including Gods faithful Commandment keeping Remnant?
Let’s look at a few quotes.
“Soon the four winds of heaven will be loosed, and in every part of the globe there will be dissension, strife, war, bloodshed. Satan is stirred with intensity from beneath.” Manuscript Release Vol18 page 177 “Winds are a symbol of strife. The four winds of heaven striving upon the great sea, represent the terrible scenes of conquest and revolution by which kingdoms have attained to power “ {Great Controversy 88 439.3}
“Four mighty angels are still holding the four winds of the earth. Terrible destruction is forbidden to come in full. The ... winds will be the stirring up of the nations to one deadly combat, while the angels hold the four winds, forbidding the terrible power of Satan to be exercised in its fury until the servants of God are sealed in their foreheads.” {Maranatha 175.}
“Angels are holding the four winds, represented as an angry horse seeking to break loose and rush over the face of the whole earth, bearing destruction and death in its path.” {20MR 216.6}
The final quote above shows plainly the winds as we have defined via spirit of prophecy and the Bible (two testimonies) that the winds, that which will kick starting the beginning of trouble coming upon the earth and the sealing of God’s chosen people are all connected.
The wise would understand Daniel 12:10.
Interestingly the implementation of the national Sunday Law is somewhere in these events of epic proportion. Maybe the only way to control Radical Islam and the fundamental religion like the Seventh Day Adventist church is to implement a Sunday law. Of course this law must be enforced so Rome (the beast) has an army already (The US) And would be back by a World Civil authority (UN). So there we have the Dragon (UN) the Beast (Catholic Church) and the False prophet (USA) poise to play their role. Of course the trigger (Islam) will force this marriage to happen so the whole world will agree and attend "this marriage ceremony" gladly as to ease the Terror of The Wild man (Gen 16:12). Details of this marriage can be studied here
Its closing up time and Gods people aught to be ready by cleansing the soul’s temple putting away sinful habits and thoughts by the indwelling sanctifying presence of Christ in the life Rev 10:7. The motivating factor is love for Christ and his Law even written in the heart and hatred for sin in all its forms. Fear of the coming events does not sanctify the heart in preparation for Judgements,But love does!
Revelation 10:7 But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.
WE ARE IN THE TIME OF THE BLOWING OF THE SEVENTH TRUMPET.
Be not confuse, this is not the trumpet that wakes the dead, But the final of the 7 trumpets of Revelation 8. The final 3 of these trumpets are the 3 woes of Revelation chapter 9 and chapter 11. Note 911. (Revelation 8:13 says by reason of the trumpets in other words the trumpets brings the woes, or put another way these last 3 trumpets bring the 3 woes).
These last 3 trumpets are the 3 woes of Islam better known in Islamic circles as the 3 final and last Great Jihad. The 3rd and final woe (7trumpet) began in Sept 11th 2001.study this hear
This means many things for you and I living in the Laodicean church here at the end of the world.
1. The Sealing of the saints would have begun progressively. Rev 7:1,2,3
2. The latter rain would have begun progressively. Rev 18:1
3. The judgment of the living would have began and the 1844 judgment of the dead would have closed.
4. The message of the 3rd angel would have begun to go to the world progressively.
5. Light would have been increasing before but progressively increasing Dan 12:4
6. The repeat of History would of occurred again where Islam was restrained in the history of the 1st woe and the 2nd woe and based on the testimony of two a thing is established (John 8:17, Deuteronomy 17:6, Deuteronomy 19:15, 1Timothy 5:19) we would expect to have seen Islam restrained again as to allow the sealing Angel in Rev 7:1-3 in point 1 above to do its work unhindered .This has come to past, Islam have been restrained from doing according to its name given in Rev 9:11(Destruction = Abaddon and Apollyon ). Major news lately as of August 2010 is the restrain will be loosen again as coalition forces are pulling out.
THE APPEAL IS SIMPLE, CHARACTER PERFECTION IS NOT A REQUEST BUT A REQUIREMENT AT THIS CLOSING TIME OF PROBATION.
Judgment begins in the house of God first. Two testimonies on these are as follows.
Mathew 10:5 -7 and Ezekiel 9:1-11.
May the transforming power of Christ in us The Hope of glory Col 1:25-27 this mystery be a reality in your life and mine.
In this message we see addressed Gods signature mark of reformation. John 16:8-11
Sin---> Righteousness--Judgement.
He points out sin .This was the work of John the baptise ,Nehemiah,Christ,Noah,Moses,William Miller Ellen G White This will also be the work and the Experience of the 144,000,the wise virgins.
This is the 3angels message , the everlasting Gospel Revelation 14:6 that must hit Adventism first before we can present it in all of its glory to the world.
We see a call to repentance and a call to righteousness in preparation for when our God removes his protective hand and judgements.
Wake up Remnant people of God!
Amen

8 And he took him a potsherd to scrape himself withal; and he sat down among the ashes.
God removes his protective hands hence, Satan takes control where God cease to protect.
Evidence of this is found the BLESSINGS AND CURSINGS in Leviticus which is connected to the 2520 time prophecies.Also it is found in Spirit of Prophecy .
The Blessings in Leviticus 26
4 Then I will give you rain in due season, and the land shall yield her increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit. 5 And your threshing shall reach unto the vintage, and the vintage shall reach unto the sowing time: and ye shall eat your bread to the full, and dwell in your land safely. (Economic wealth)
6 And I will give peace in the land, and ye shall lie down, and none shall make you afraid: and I will rid evil beasts out of the land, neither shall the sword go through your land. (suffer no Bloodshed or lost of life due to war)
7 And ye shall chase your enemies, and they shall fall before you by the sword.
8 And five of you shall chase a hundred, and a hundred of you shall put ten thousand to flight: and your enemies shall fall before you by the sword.
9 For I will have respect unto you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you, and establish my covenant with you.
10 And ye shall eat old store, and bring forth the old because of the new.
11 And I will set my tabernacle among you: and my soul shall not abhor you.
12 And I will walk among you, and will be your God, and ye shall be my people.
13 I am the LORD your God, which brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, that ye should not be their bondmen; and I have broken the bands of your yoke, and made you go upright.
Cursings for breaking the Covenant in Leviticus 26
14 But if ye will not hearken unto me, and will not do all these commandments;
15 And if ye shall despise my statutes, or if your soul abhor my judgments, so that ye will not do all my commandments, but that ye break my covenant:
16 I also will do this unto you; I will even appoint over you terror, consumption, and the burning ague, that shall consume the eyes, and cause sorrow of heart: and ye shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it. (Sickness ,disease and Lost of economic wealth)
17 And I will set my face against you, and ye shall be slain before your enemies: they that hate you shall reign over you; and ye shall flee when none pursueth you. (Blood shed)
18 And if ye will not yet for all this hearken unto me, then I will punish you seven times more for your sins.
Last Days Events Says:
“I was shown that the judgments of God would not come directly out from the Lord upon them, but in this way: They place themselves beyond His protection. He warns, corrects, reproves, and points out the only path of safety; then, if those who have been the objects of His special care will follow their own course, independent of the Spirit of God, after repeated warnings, if they choose their own way, then He does not commission His angels to prevent Satan's decided attacks upon them.
It is Satan's power that is at work at sea and on land, bringing calamity and distress and sweeping off multitudes to make sure of his prey.--14MR 3 (1883). {LDE 242.2}
God removes his protecting hands then the “Winds” are let loose
Notice With Job the first winds to be felt was that of Sword ,violence and war causing the lost of life within his household.
• Would Abaddon And Apollyon Rev 9:11 ,the destructive hand of Islam stir up bloodshed?
• Would Islam kick start the time of trouble?
• Would the marriage of the UN, Catholic church and USA (Dragon,Beast and False Prophet Revelation 16:13, Revelation 16:13,16:19) combine forces to fight radical Islam ?
• Would this Union so much succeed that it would be the seen as the solution to all fundamentalist religion including Gods faithful Commandment keeping Remnant?
Let’s look at a few quotes.
“Soon the four winds of heaven will be loosed, and in every part of the globe there will be dissension, strife, war, bloodshed. Satan is stirred with intensity from beneath.” Manuscript Release Vol18 page 177 “Winds are a symbol of strife. The four winds of heaven striving upon the great sea, represent the terrible scenes of conquest and revolution by which kingdoms have attained to power “ {Great Controversy 88 439.3}“Four mighty angels are still holding the four winds of the earth. Terrible destruction is forbidden to come in full. The ... winds will be the stirring up of the nations to one deadly combat, while the angels hold the four winds, forbidding the terrible power of Satan to be exercised in its fury until the servants of God are sealed in their foreheads.” {Maranatha 175.}
“Angels are holding the four winds, represented as an angry horse seeking to break loose and rush over the face of the whole earth, bearing destruction and death in its path.” {20MR 216.6}
The final quote above shows plainly the winds as we have defined via spirit of prophecy and the Bible (two testimonies) that the winds, that which will kick starting the beginning of trouble coming upon the earth and the sealing of God’s chosen people are all connected.
- We see bloodshed involve.
- Lost of possession of wealth or ability to earn will be crippled .
- We also see natural disasters.
- Followed by disease.
The wise would understand Daniel 12:10.
Interestingly the implementation of the national Sunday Law is somewhere in these events of epic proportion. Maybe the only way to control Radical Islam and the fundamental religion like the Seventh Day Adventist church is to implement a Sunday law. Of course this law must be enforced so Rome (the beast) has an army already (The US) And would be back by a World Civil authority (UN). So there we have the Dragon (UN) the Beast (Catholic Church) and the False prophet (USA) poise to play their role. Of course the trigger (Islam) will force this marriage to happen so the whole world will agree and attend "this marriage ceremony" gladly as to ease the Terror of The Wild man (Gen 16:12). Details of this marriage can be studied here
Its closing up time and Gods people aught to be ready by cleansing the soul’s temple putting away sinful habits and thoughts by the indwelling sanctifying presence of Christ in the life Rev 10:7. The motivating factor is love for Christ and his Law even written in the heart and hatred for sin in all its forms. Fear of the coming events does not sanctify the heart in preparation for Judgements,But love does!
Revelation 10:7 But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.
WE ARE IN THE TIME OF THE BLOWING OF THE SEVENTH TRUMPET.
Be not confuse, this is not the trumpet that wakes the dead, But the final of the 7 trumpets of Revelation 8. The final 3 of these trumpets are the 3 woes of Revelation chapter 9 and chapter 11. Note 911. (Revelation 8:13 says by reason of the trumpets in other words the trumpets brings the woes, or put another way these last 3 trumpets bring the 3 woes).
These last 3 trumpets are the 3 woes of Islam better known in Islamic circles as the 3 final and last Great Jihad. The 3rd and final woe (7trumpet) began in Sept 11th 2001.study this hear
This means many things for you and I living in the Laodicean church here at the end of the world.
1. The Sealing of the saints would have begun progressively. Rev 7:1,2,3
2. The latter rain would have begun progressively. Rev 18:1
3. The judgment of the living would have began and the 1844 judgment of the dead would have closed.
4. The message of the 3rd angel would have begun to go to the world progressively.
5. Light would have been increasing before but progressively increasing Dan 12:4
6. The repeat of History would of occurred again where Islam was restrained in the history of the 1st woe and the 2nd woe and based on the testimony of two a thing is established (John 8:17, Deuteronomy 17:6, Deuteronomy 19:15, 1Timothy 5:19) we would expect to have seen Islam restrained again as to allow the sealing Angel in Rev 7:1-3 in point 1 above to do its work unhindered .This has come to past, Islam have been restrained from doing according to its name given in Rev 9:11(Destruction = Abaddon and Apollyon ). Major news lately as of August 2010 is the restrain will be loosen again as coalition forces are pulling out.
THE APPEAL IS SIMPLE, CHARACTER PERFECTION IS NOT A REQUEST BUT A REQUIREMENT AT THIS CLOSING TIME OF PROBATION.
Judgment begins in the house of God first. Two testimonies on these are as follows.
Mathew 10:5 -7 and Ezekiel 9:1-11.
May the transforming power of Christ in us The Hope of glory Col 1:25-27 this mystery be a reality in your life and mine.
In this message we see addressed Gods signature mark of reformation. John 16:8-11
Sin---> Righteousness--Judgement.
He points out sin .This was the work of John the baptise ,Nehemiah,Christ,Noah,Moses,William Miller Ellen G White This will also be the work and the Experience of the 144,000,the wise virgins.
This is the 3angels message , the everlasting Gospel Revelation 14:6 that must hit Adventism first before we can present it in all of its glory to the world.
We see a call to repentance and a call to righteousness in preparation for when our God removes his protective hand and judgements.
Wake up Remnant people of God!
Amen

Daniel 11:40-45 The Last Six Verses of Daniel Eleven
"The world is stirred with the spirit of war. Soon the scenes of trouble spoken of in the prophecies will take place. The prophecy in the eleventh of Daniel has nearly reached its complete fulfillment. Much of the history that has taken place in fulfillment of this prophecy will be repeated. In the thirtieth verse a power is spoken of that "shall be grieved, and return, and have indignation against the holy covenant: so shall he do; he shall even return, and have intelligence with them that forsake the holy covenant." Daniel 11 Verses 31-36 quoted.
By Ellen G White , quoted.] {13Maniscript release page 394.1}
Daniel 11:40-45
And at the time of the end (1798) shall the king of the south (the king of Egypt like qualities= France atheismin 1798) push (push: to war against) at him (the king of the north; the papal power): and the king of the north (modern Rome; the papal power) shall come against(the king of atheistic communist Soviet Union in 1989) like a whirlwind (with a mightysweeping away), with chariots, and with horsemen, (the military might of the UnitedStates) and with many ships ( the financial might of the United States); and he (modern Rome; the papal power) shall enter into (conquer) the countries (the countries thatconstituted the former Soviet block), and shall overflow and pass over.
He (modern Rome; papal Rome) shall enter also into (conquer also) the glorious land
(the United States), and many countries (many people, not many countries, for the Hebrew
word countries is here a supplied word) shall be overthrown (receive the mark of the beast):
but these (those that escape the mark of the beast) shall escape (escape: escape as if by
slipperiness; as when you grab a bar of soap in a tub of water and it slips out of your hand)
out of his hand (his control or authority), even Edom, and Moab (Moabites and Amonites are children of Lot via his Daughters,an unlawful relationship , Protestant churches marching to the drum of Rome are Adulterous,or daughters of the great whore of Rev 17 and 19)
and the chief of the children of Ammon .
He (modern Rome; the papal power) shall stretch forth his hand (hand: legislation I.E National Sunday Law)
also upon (also conquer) the countries (all the countries of the world): and the land
of Egypt (the entire world none religious) shall not escape (escape: a different Hebrew word than the
word translated as “escape” in the previous verse. This Hebrew word means finding no
deliverance. All the countries of the world are here brought under papal bondage).
But he (modern Rome; the papal power) shall have power over (control of) the treasures
of gold and of silver, and over all the precious things of Egypt (the financial structure of
the entire world): and the Libyans and the Ethiopians (Ethiopia represents extremely wealthy and the Libyans :Lubims = poor weeping nations ..These are the 1st world and 3rd world nations ..both rich and poor) shall be at his
steps (steps: meaning to march with, or be in unity with, or under the control of the king of
the north).
But tidings (the gospel message) out of the east and out of the north shall trouble
(infuriate) him (modern Rome; the papal power): therefore he (modern Rome) shall
go forth withgreat fury to destroy, and utterly to make away many (to kill God’s people. Great slaughter inquisition renewed Rev 20:4).
And he (modern Rome; the papal power) shall plant the tabernacles (a symbol of the
church) of his palace (a symbol of the state) between the seas (mankind outside of God’s
church) in (and) the glorious holy mountain (God’s triumphant church); yet he (modern
Rome) shall come to his end (at Armageddon, which is the great spiritual battle between truth and error, Gods Holy mountain(SDA) verses Satan"s mountain Catholicism)
and none shall help him (modern Rome).
