The hard question is, why is the Pope reaching out
to all peoples of the world by selling out. When he
uttered what he did in public, he turned his
back on God publically. "A Chilling Significance
which shows a startling fulfillment of Bible prophecy and
confirmation of God's Word through global events at this
hour, writes Pastor Wilson Ewin of Quebec, Canada, February 1997.
"[It] encourages God's saints to persevere through its display
of evidence that homegoing is indeed imminent.. The hour is about
to strike when the prophetic contents of Revelation's chapter
13 and 17:8 along through chapter 18 will be fulfilled.. [What
we are experiencing is what is engraved
in the base of a huge marble monument commemorating
Karl Marx and Lenin].. Engraved there in the base
for present and future visitors to ponder is the meaningful
phrase, "Religion is the opium of the
people.".. The entire world suffers from apathy,
carelessness and the weight of multiple cares. Most professing
Christians have slipped into the same drowsy state of lethargy,
complacency and lukewarmness..
"Unbelievers need a gospel presentation
that is crystal clear and that cuts through
the inclusivist message of ecumenism, Promise Keepers and other
groups either neutral toward or related to the global unity
movement of all religions. Catholics especially need
a clear gospel for the devastating crisis in which
they now struggle. The urgency of the hour should move believers
and local churches to a most active role in evangelism;..
where are the Christian leaders who are courageously
sounding out a clear alarm as did
Noah?.. The global ship is now quivering before
its fatal plunge. May the Spirit of God convict and move
in one final wave of grace upon all mankind." (The
Chilling Significance of Pope John Paul's October
22,1996 Address by Wilson Ewin)
"In the political papacy there exists only temporary
"different religions" destined one
day to be absorbed into their empire. That
is their fundamental creed and goal. North America is the
Vatican's new Promised Land. The American bishops are a
well-organized, well funded political force in America. They have
a clear political agenda, theocracy. In order to accomplish their
goals they have to get rid of constitutional democracy..
They have almost complete control of the media (freedom
of speech). There is almost complete disappearance
of all contradictory writings against the
Church.. Guy Emery wrote, "No political
event or circumstance can be evaluated without the knowledge
of the Vatican's part in it. And no significant
world situation exists in which the Vatican does not
play an important explicit or implicit role." (Who
is setting up the one world order?).. The lofty plan of
political papacy is to re-establish the papal, rigidly-
controlled order of the pre- Reformation Era. After all
she is the only "True Church".
"Rome thinks it's her inalienable right to rule!.. The Holy
See of Rome is working behind the scenes for union of church and
state, to replace America's democratic way of life.
She will always oppose the Protestant democratic
system which is freedom of religion, speech, press and the
right to assemble peaceably. The Vatican condemned
as `barbaric', the Florida execution of Pedro Medina
[recently].. The Vatican used this tragic event to refurbish
their image and to dictate to America
to "abolish capital punishment." (Bold
Truth Press Inc., May 1997)
The reason the Pope is shedding the old fashioned robe
is political. He wants to appeal to all humanity and has
to at least seem worldy. Why we should be aware, is the following
statement, "That They May All Be One". Statements
like that came from our President's lips during
the election campagn. If Theocracy is what the
Pope is after, it is rooted in "Universal Brotherhood"
which has a deep connection to the Masonic Lodge.
We have a mixture of Gospel and Rosicrucian
[masonic teachings], which God warned of. Sheep will
drink polluted water, where other animals won't.
The Pope's stating that the theory of evolution is more than a hypothesis, is still causing indigestion, even in scientific circles. John Wiester, American Scientific Affiliation Science Education Commission Buellton, California wrote a letter to the magazine editor of First Things, June/July 1997. "While the Pope is correct in stating that "the theory of evolution is more than a hypothesis," the word "evolution" has so many different meanings that the Pope's statement can become a source of confusion and misunderstanding. Evolution is a fact when referring to minor variations in the colors of moths and the sizes of finch beaks (microevolution); [but] a theory when referring to the inference that all organisms have been linked in the past by common ancestors (common descent); and a grand metaphysical scheme when it claims that the entire living world is the product of blind atural forces. Unfortunately, the grand metaphysical meaning is the one being promoted under the guise of science in the biology classrom.
The National Association of Biology Teachers
define evolution as "an unsupervised, impersonal,
unpredictable, and natural process." The
popular tenth-grade text Biology, by
K.Miller and J.Levine (Prentice Hall, 1993), informs
students that "evolution works without either plan
or purpose," and that evolution "is random
and undirected." Such statements are not justified
on scientific grounds and illustrate that evolution is not
taught as science, but Darwinian philosophy, whose purpose is
to replace the otherwise obvious design of organisms. All theist
and scientists should be united in correcting this abuse
in the science classroom." (First
Things, June / July 1997 p.2)
"Lest science continue to make fools of the "infallible" Church hierarchy, the Pope cautions Catholic theologians to check with scientists before interpreting Scripture. Yet Peter, whom Catholics say was the first pope, declared that Scripture is inspired of the Holy Spirit (2Pet1:21). Surely the Holy Spirit needs no help from scientists!.. Edward Dashbach, a Catholic priest, explains that to take the Bible literally would require admitting that the woman on the beast in Revelation 17 is the Roman Catholic Church! He writes, "The Church, then, does not accept.. the literal interpretation of the opening chapters of the Book of Genesis.. When creation-science advocates apply their fundamentalist tools to this final scriptural book [Revelation], the Church often becomes a target for vehement attack..
Vatican II declares, "Hence the Bible is free from
error in what pertains to religious truth revealed for our
salvation. It is not necessarily free from error in other
matters (e.g., natural science)" [Emphasis in
original]. This is no light matter. If the Genesis account
of creation isn't reliable, then neither is the remainder of the
Bible, which rests upon it; and Chist is proven not to be
God but a mere man who foolishly took the story of Adam
and Eve literally (Mt 19:4-5)."
(The Berean Call, Dave Hunt, February 1997)
"A puzzling position taken by the Pope", wrote
Tom McKenney. He believes "the Pope caved in to "intellectual
respectability" (the academic version of
political correctness). What a sad, disapointing
surrender, especially at a time when even leading
proponents of godless evolution are admitting publicly that they
may have been wrong all along. Two such studies in recent
years have concluded that the most sophisticated
genetic research indicates that all mankind
has descended from one woman. Yet Cardinal O'Connor,
following the Pope's lead, told New York
worshipers on November 24th that Adam and Eve may actually
have been animals (not human).." (Words
for Living Ministries, Tom C McKenney, Feb/Mar 1997)
"For the Pope, the search for Christian unity is a priority, the commitment irreversible. If, as the Holy Father states: "ecumenism is an organic part of the Church's life and work," then it ought to be an important part of the life and work of every bishop and responsible person in the Church - and indeed touch the life of every member of the Church... There can be no ecumenism worthy of the name without a change of heart... There is a need .. for communal conversion of a more radical following of the Gospel if we are to rid ourselves and our communities of "the burden of long-standing misgivings inherited from the past, and of mutual misunderstandings and prejudices.. no Christian community remains free to exempt itself from this call to renewal, conversion, and reform." (Documentation, That They May All Be One: by Edward Idris Cassidy, President of the Pontifical Council Promoting Christian Unity, First Things, January 1997,p.34)
"The Second Vatican Council Decree on Ecumenism, which Pope
John Paul II quotes in Ut Unum Sint, describes the value of such
cooperation: " Cooperation among all Christians vividly expresses
that bond which already unites them, and it
sets in clearer relief the features of Christ the
Servant." (Ibid.,p.35) We have had a radical change
of heart from studying the Gospel ourselves, which the Pope
does not recommend. We cannot think of Jesus
Christ as anyone but God, Master or Lord, rather than
servant. Jesus is Servant of God the Father. The bond
uniting Christians should be the unadulterated Word
of God, Jesus Christ, not the Jesus of the
world religion who varies from denomination
to denomination which includes 5000 cults.
The Pope courts all religions in the hope of
gathering all to the Catholic Eucharist at some point.
The fact that there is much planning going for the year 2000 was
written up in the Rocky Mountain News 12.30.1996 ".. cultural,
commercial and spiritual extravaganzas will light
up the globe.. Even the Vatican has bowed to
emotion over mathematics, declaring 2000 a Jubilee Year - the
church's 27th since the first in 1300 - and planning a yearlong
celebration expected to attract 20 million pilgrims
to Rome. "There's no dispute that the new millennium
actually begins in the year 2001," acknowledges Edward McNally,
co-chairman of the Washington-based Millennium Society."
Providing hope of overcoming doctrinal differences, the Pope insists
reform is necessary. The first step is to all come
to know each other as we really are; to know the faith of
each other as it really is; and together seek to delve more deeply
into the doctrine with that "love for the truth
[which] is the deepest dimension of any
authentic quest for full communion between Christians."
(Ibid.,p.35) Which doctrine is the Pope's representative
talking about? He carefully leaves the statement general
enough to keep it open. We delved into many doctrines
with a fervent love of truth and found ourselves in
a sea of satanically inspired doctrines, which culminated
in deep sorrow and repentance of following worldly advice.
"Among the foremost exponents of the new
vision is Dr. Konrad Raiser, secretary- general
of the World Council of Churches.. [he] paid an official
visit to the Vatican, together with several highly placed
officials of the WCC.. In the words of Dr. Raiser, "It
will therefore, be necessary to develop a much more dynamic
understanding of unity, unity as a process rather than as a structured
unity with a definitive doctrinal formulation."
(Ibid.,p.36) In other words, let's do away with absolutes and
go to the grey area of a process without goals? Who
knows where it lands: in the arms of the Antichrist?
The Gospel is not a process. Jesus said: "It
is finished" and underlined it in His own blood.
We either accept or reject the truth. There is only
one truth which cannot be disputed. All else leads
to hell. It is based on a decision by the leadership
of various denominations to accept or reject "THE
WORD" as it stands and teach it. That decision
would lead to unity of all Christians in the physical.
They are already in unity with the head of the
Church, Jesus Christ.
The dangers of this kind of thinking leads to issues such as the
Episcopalians, who "are "excited to announce"
a national conference that is titled, "Beyond
Inclusion: Celebrating Gay and Lesbian Commitments
and Ministries Within the
Episcopal Church.".. The Rev. Michael Battle
of the University of the South will address the group "from
the perspective of Desmond Tutu's theology,"
demonstrating that "heterosexual Christians NEED the
full participation of homosexual unions in order to be a
person in ubuntu sense of the word." If you're
uncertain about whether you are an ubuntu person,
this may be just the conference for you." William
Countryman of the Church Divinity School of the Pacific
will present a paper showing "that it is perfectly possible
to read the Bible in ways that don't condemn homosexuality,"
which one might think has been amply demonstrated
by now." (Public Square, First
Things, March 1997, p.69)
Imagine being a truly born again Christian which requiresthe
indwelling of the Holy Spirit. Coming from that
position, could we even so much as contemplate such
blasphemy? We cannot accept the concept
of ecumenism, and object to that sort of
process. Episcopalians, along with Mormons and Jehovah's Witnesses
and many, many others who reject the pure Word of God, count
themselves to be Christians.
"A drive by American Roman Catholics for
gender-neutral Scripture readings got a boost
when the Vatican said that a working group
would give their readings a final review. Four
years ago, the American bishops conference prepared
a revised English edition of Mass readings
from the Bible containing "inclusive"
language and has been seeking Vatican approval for
it. The revision substitutes "men and women" or "the
human race" for "man" or "men,"
for example.. Parts of the Bible revision already
contain gender-neutral language.. (The Kansas
City Star, 12/15/96,p.A-6/ Midnight Call, March 1997, pp.23/24)
"Bishop Seeks Unity Among Church Denominations
To Do The Job." (Midnight Call,
April 1997, p.29) Christians can thrive in their
mission of spreading Christ's word only if they band
together across denominational lines, Presiding Bishop
H. George Anderson of the Evangelical
Lutheran Church of America said during a visit
to Columbia. "The task of addressing society today is so
vast, no one denomination can do it," said Anderson,
who supports proposals to establish "full communion"
between the 5.2 million member ELCA and the Episcopal Church
and between ELCA and the Presbytarian Church USA,
Reformed Church in America and United Church
of Christ. Under full communion, churches would
withdraw historic condemnations, share sacraments and
exchange ministers." (The State, 2/15/97,B-3)
"No one can deny that unity is necessary on all
levels of society, including the church. However,
unity between the denominations by erasing existing
differences of interpreting some Scripture, is strictly an organizational
unity based on compromise by each denomination.
Such unity has absolutely no relationship
to the Church of Jesus Christ. We are
perfectly one in Him who is the head of the
church, without additional organizational unity. Biblically
speaking, there is only one direction towards unity and
that is Christ, "Where there is neither Greek
nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian,
bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all" (Colossians
3:11). The same confirmed in Galations 3:28.. The
horizontal unity, which is achieved organizationally,
has no relationship to that unity and ultimately will lead
to the one world church." (Midnight
Call, Arnold Froese, April 1997,p.29 )
We have already arrived at the official birthdate and place, according
to the information which follows, of the one
world church. All the Antichrist has to do when the
time comes is to step into the world leadership
position and the False Prophet will make the
world church bow to him.
Where can we get some factual confirmation? In `Letters
to the Editor' of Midnight Call, April 1997 p.42,
we find information about that. The writer of
the letter writes: ".. I feel compelled
to write and share with you something that has been a
powerful tool in convincing both Christian and
non-Christians alike, about who is in charge of this worldly
kingdom that we are surrounded by.
"Christians have shown me that the American $1 bill has had
printed on it, since 1933 [the year Hitler came into power],
a great seal with the words, "Novus Ordo
Seclorum" - New World Order. This is Latin
language and the seal also has Roman numerals on the
pyramid. I found out in the last few weeks that the
traditional mass of the Roman Catholic institution was replaced
by "the Novus Ordo.. by order of Pope Paul VI, on March 26,
1970" see Keys of this Blood by Malachi Martin - pages 667
- 670. Page 667 continues that the Novus
Ordo has spread by decree all through
the Roman Catholic institution.
"On the occult religious level, Novus Ordo Seclorum
means New World Mass!! Novus Ordo = New Mass.
"When the New World Order is powerful enough
to put its insignia on the American
money for over 60 years, then it is clearly
in charge of all the money markets of the world. When the Novus
Ordo or New Mass is declared by the pope, then the one in
charge of all the money is the pope - Antichrist, devil,
Satan. We know from Luke 4:5 - 8 what Jesus said. When Satan
offered Him the world, He said: "Get thee behind me,
Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy
God, and him only shalt thou serve." (Luke 4).. (-R.
Lazerte, Canada)
".. The NWO is as old the Roman Empire.. [It] will
be the most successful gentile power structure
this planet has ever known. Peace, prosperity,
and security will be so overwhelmingly real that the people of
the world will gladly subject themselves not only to the
political and military leadership of the Antichrist,
but they will also accept the new unified religion.
In unison, the world will worship the image of the
beast.." (Midnight Call, Editor Arno
Froese)
"Very significant also is the fact that the Lutheran-Roman
Catholic International Theological Dialogue Commission has,
in the present phase of its discussions, given
itself the title Lutheran-Roman Catholic
Commission for Unity... [Another] major development at
the national level in recent years has been the entry
of the Catholic Church to full membership in fifty National Councils
of Churches and to several
Regional Councils." (Ibid.,p.37)
What is wrong with that? It's obvious that the Pope is picking
off organizations like apples from a tree. Mormons are now advertising
on CNN TV a free gift of the KJV Holy Bible
instead of the Book of Mormon, indicating they want to get on
the bandwagon. Within their own ranks they claim that the
Bible is misinterpreted? The majority of their quotes
are from the Book of Mormon and their Doctrine and Covenants.
Who is next?
The March 1997 the Ecumenical News International, the World
Council's of Churches' paper, revealed and explained a
serious crisis within itself. The World Council of Churches,
established in 1948, initiated and led the ecumenical
movement. The WCC stands for what they term
"pluralism," or many different views and
gospels - even including those who have rejected it all. They
announced "major structural changes." "It
dismissed its Presidents and proposed that it will
be part of an "ecumenical forum" with which the
Pope will cooperate. The WCC will diminish in size and simply
be one of the numerous organizations which are cooperating and
looking forward to the formation of the
one-world religion." (Ibid.,p.6.)
The WCC's General Secretary, Konrad Raiser, has come forward with
the proposal to include main Christian families of churches
[very general term], Orthodox, Roman Catholic, Protestant,
and Pentecostal, and call them together, resolve their
differences and take communion together. It will finally
enable all to receive the "[Catholic] Eucharist".
A World Council would no longer be needed." (Today,
the Bible & You, p.6)
It was also announced that the One-World Church and
One-World religion will be established in San Francisco
on the 15th of June 1997 and will become a spiritual
guide to the United Nations. "In what is
a surprising development to many ecumenists, representatives of
these traditions are beginning to recognize the number
of concerns they have in common, among them strengthening
the family, the welfare of children, the sanctity of life,
the place of religious values in society, and -most importantly-
evangelization." If they are already all
Christians, who is evangelizing whom with what
message?
The concerns they have in common brings up an interesting
point relating to the LDS Church wanting to
participate. LDS Apostles, President Boyd Packer
and Elder M. Russell Ballard of the Quorum of the
Twelve, visited with General Colin Powell in his office
in Washington D.C. and learned that he was familiar
with the Book of Mormon. General Powell is currently
general chairman of "The President's Summit
For America's Future," a conference held
in Philadelphia April 27-29, 1997. "He said his objective
for the conference is "to have a responsible adult
in the life of every child.. Gen. Powell underscored the
importance of family and religion in the life of children.."
(LDS Church News, 2.8.1997)
There is a move by Social Services to bring a
social worker into homes to supervise child rearing.
And that wasn't all. On March 19-22, 1997, LDS
appointed official delegates to attend by invitation the
World Congress of Families in Prague, the Czech Republic.
Elder Dallin Oaks of the Quorum of the Twelve told the LDS
Church News editor. One of his points from LDS agenda
was to "Develop and issue "A Declaration from
the Families of the Nations to the Governments
of the Globe," laying out the proper relationship
between the family and the state." (Ibid.,
2.15.1997) A few days later a flyer announcing an
event 2.23.97 was delivered to our door
accidentally (??). It was a personal invitation by the LDS
Church in Denver to attend a special presentation on Families
by Apostle Dallin H. Oaks from Salt Lake City. What
better subject for the meeting of minds creating a
"forum for unity" promoted by the Pope between
church and state.
The Apostle Paul writes about the "mystery of iniquity"
in 2 Thessalonians 2:7..10: "For the mystery of iniquity
doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until
he be taken out of the way. And then shall that Wicked
be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with
the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the
brightness of his coming.. because they received not the love
of the truth, that they might be saved."
Evangelist, Dr. Billy Graham recently recommended
to the President that he, the President, should become
a minister of the Gospel when he leaves office, that he
would be good at it. Some 800 million dollars of God's
money went into the election last fall. The trend
continues for the ecumenical church to become a social organization
to change the world and its problems to a paradisical
existence. Is that possible? God tried to do
that with the Jews in the Old Testament and it didn't
work. Are they advocating they are greater than God?
Coming from a Christian's point of view, "the
severe and insurmountable difference we have with
Rome is in the interpretation of the data. This is where the frustration
level reaches its zenith when witnessing to a Roman
Catholic or debating one of their representatives.
Rome finds in the words of Jesus a performance-based
salvation. We [Christians] find in the words of
Jesus the impossibility of a performance-based salvation...
The question that separates us [Christians] from the
Roman Catholic religion is simply, "How?" How
is one set free? How is one delivered? How is one made a
child of God? How is one reconciled and justified? How
is one saved?.. (Theo~Logical, 3rd/4th
Quarter 1996)
Is it a wonder that the odds for Catholics are slim. Former
Catholic Bill Schnoebelen in his newsletter:
The Liberator Jan/Feb. 1997 states: "Of
the untold millions of Catholics who pass into eternity,
only the tiniest percentage are ever declared to be "canonized."
Usually only about a half-dozen a year are even considered
for this process.. That means that for the rest of the departed,
they (or more importantly, their loved ones) are subjected to
the doctrine of Purgatory. Purgatory teaches that
those people who were not perfectly free of sin at death (i.e.,
virtually everyone) must go through a kind of hell, except
that it is not eternal. They suffer in flames and
torment for a time until their sins and the
"temporal punishment due to sin" are burned
away.
Then, finally, they are allowed to enter heaven.
However, no one seems to know when they are finally released..
it is entirely possible for this process to go on for years.
There are instances where deceased loved ones are still being
"prayed" out of Purgatory nearly thirty
years after their death.. the ultimate tragedy
here is that Purgatory IS a "pretense."
It doesn't exist. There is not one scintilla
of evidence in the Bible for it. Even The Catechism
of the Catholic Church can only lamely cite 1
Cor. 3:15 (which talks about a person's "works"
being burned) and 1 Peter 1:7 (which talks about a "trial
of your faith" -nothing at all about the afterlife.
One does not need faith once one is dead
[1Cor.13:12]).. What you WILL find [in Scripture]
is a profound and simple equation. Belief in
Jesus equals instant access to heaven upon death
(Acts 16:31, 1John 5:13) Paul says that "We are
confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the
body, and to be present with the Lord." - 2Cor.5:8.
Nothing about Purgatory. Paul says we are saved
by grace through faith without works (Eph.2:8-9).."
"Faith given by God is not intellectual assent. It is a full
confidence in the finished work of God for salvation accompanied
by a true desire to please God. The miracle of regeneration
is that it produces faith in man that desires to obey
after having clutched onto the righteousness of Christ alone
as his only hope for deliverance. (Titus 2:14)
(Theo~Logical, 3rd/4th Quarter 1996)
General Secretary of the World Alliance of Reformed Churches stated,
"The utlimate goal of such a council [universal council],
is a common confession of faith and the celebration of the Eucharist
together." (Today, The Bible & You, Nov.1996, p.3) And
that brings us to the Virgin Mary whom the pope
calls "Redemptoris Mater."
"Mary.. [has] a new title, "the Star of Evangelization"..
to stir up the missionary energy of our laity.
The meeting was "concluded by [the
Pope's] entrusting to Mary, Queen of the
Apostles and Star of Evangelization, this Roman mission."
(Vatican Information Service,
February 22,1996/ Alabama Discernment Ministries,
Jubilee 2000,p.1) "May Mary, the mother
of Jesus, intercede for us, asking God to bless
us all as we journey with faith, hope and love towards the
Year 2000 (Letter to the Archdiocese of Singapore
(25 February 1996) concerning the Jubilee Year 2000)..
The Church must model herself after Mary in "faith, hope
and charity", so that the journey to the celebration
of Jesus' 2000th birthday will be as "a
new Advent.".. The goal of this evangelistic
fervor is that God's Spirit would empower the Church "to
build a new world with all people of good will," a new civilization
of peace and justice." (Alabama Discernment
Ministries, Jubilee 2000, p.2)
"Many of the Catholic tradition see the woman as Mary
in the Bible verses of Revelation 12:1-2 "And there
appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed
with the sun, and the moon under her feet,
and upon her head a crown of twelve stars: And she being with
child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered."..
Bishop Rudolph Graber [wrote]: "Thus in conclusion,
we greet Mary as the great sign in the heavens which precedes
the coming of her Son, because the mother always precedes
the son. We greet her as the one who at Fatima wanted to
bring peace to the world if we fulfilled the demands
of her maternal heart.. Is the Woman of the
Apocalypse Mary? Is Mary the great sign which accounces
the end of the age by preceding the "sign of the Son
of Man (Matthew 24:30)? Does this idea conform to
the gospel?
"This last question is especially necessary in light of this
statement by Catholic theologian Reverend Andre Richard,D.D.:
".. as a theologian, what impresses me about Fatima is its
reaffirmation of the entire Gospel and its emphasis
on the source of mortal evil: offenses
against God.. How can any of us consider Fatima to
be less than the presentation of that
Apocalyptic message of the Lady dressed with
the sun, and announcing the triumph over the
dragon?" (Fatima Now! Soul, January-February
1976, p.20).. The orthodox interpretation of this
sign in heaven is Israel who brought forth Christ.
"The Lady of Fatima spoke many times about her
Immaculate Heart, and on one occasion "The Lord"
himself appeared to Lucia the seer and told her, "I
desire that devotion to the Immaculate Heart of My Mother
be placed alongside devotion to My Own Sacred Heart."
[Thus].. a linkage of Mary's Immaculate Heart with Jesus' Heart..
[Ed Tarkowsky, a former Catholic, is researching a possible link
between the Toronto "fire" spawned by Rodney
Howard Browne and the "burning love"
of the Sacred Heart. He states: "These questions
can be answered by reading the revelations to St.
Margaret Mary Alacoque, a nun of the Order of the Visitation
of Our Lady. According to the follower of the Two Hearts, "a
New Era of Grace and Mercy in the history
of the Church and the world" was
opened by these revelations:
The First Apparition: December 27,1673
[she describes the event in her autobiography: "One day,..
I was praying before the Blessed Sacrament, when I
felt myself wholly penetrated with that Divine Presence, but to
such a degree that I lost all thought of myself.. and abandoned
myself to this Divine Spirit, yielding up my heart to the
power of His Love. He made me repose for a long time
upon His Sacred Breast, where He disclosed to me the
marvels of His Love and the inexplicable secrets of
His Sacred Heart, which so far He had concealed from
me.".. Rodney Howard-Browne, described his own
initial infilling as, "I was literally beside my-self."
..
"Margaret Mary continues: "My Divine Heart so inflamed
with love for men.. that, being unable any longer
to contain within Itself the flames of Its burning
Charity.. after this He asked me for my heart, which I begged
Him to take. He did so and placed it in His own Adorable Heart
where He showed it to me as a little atom which
was being consumed in this great furnace, and withdrawing
it thence as a burning flame in the form af a heart, He
restored it to the place whence He had taken it saying
to me: "See, My well-beloved, I give you
a precious token of My love, having enclosed
within your side a little spark of its glowing flames,
that it may serve you for a heart and consume you to the
last moment of your life.. I now give you that of
the beloved disciple of My Sacred Heart..
After such a signal favor which lasted for a long
time.. as it were, on fire and inebriated (with divine love)
amd so completely out of myself, that I had to do
myself violence in order to utter a single word.. the pain of
the wound.. produces such heat within me that it burns and
consumes me alive."
[Compare this with] Rodney Howard-Browne: "Suddenly the fire
fell on me. It started on my head and went right down to my feet.
His power burned in my body and stayed like that for three whole
days. I thought I was going to die.. My whole body was on
fire from the top of my head to the soles of my feet. Out of my
belly began to flow a river of living water. I began
to laugh uncontrollably and then I began
to weep and then speak with other tongues. I
was so intoxicated on the wine of the Holy Ghost that I was literally
beside myself.. my life was radically canged from that day

RHBEA Publications, pp 73-74)
"There is little difference between these two
manifestations.. Browne's [history is] Kenneth Hagin's RHEMA
and St Margaret Mary's.. Catholic mysticism. [Both experienced
inablity to speak] a classic Toronto experience. [Margaret
Mary continues] the Sacred Heart was represented to me as
a resplendent sun, the burning rays of which fell
vertically upon my heart, which was inflamed with
a fire so fervid that seemed as if it would reduce me to
ashes.. Jesus Christ, my sweet Master, presented Himself to me..
His Five Wounds shining like so many suns.. Flames
issued from every part of His Sacred Humanity,
especially from His Adorable Breast, which resembled
an open furnace and disclosed to me His most loving and
most amiable Heart, which was the living source of these
flames.. Pope John Paul II is looking for another "miracle"
similar to the Miracle of the Sun at Fatima, and he is expecting
it to be seen as confirmation that the Catholic Church is
the one true church.." (Ibid.,2-7)
To shed light on how the gap will be bridged to New Agers,
the Christian version [of fire] is nothing less than the New Age
version.. the result.. is the same: the inflaming of people
in their spirit with spiritual fire.. The Ascension Research
Center [headed by Elisabeth Claire Prophet] promotes research
into the Ascension Flame.. The Cosmic Christ is the
"Sun" .. also called the Word.. created with a
core of fire,.. a "spark" of divinity.. with Jesus being
the Model or Pattern.. showed complete transformation can be accomplished.
Lord Maitreya, the New Age Christ.. demonstrates the Cosmic
Consciousness.. Beloved Maitreya enfolded Jesus in His
Cosmic Flame to assist Jesus in manifesting the
Christ Consciousness..
Matreya = Love + Cosmic Flame + demonstration
of Cosmic Conciousness (unity) in humanity..
The symbalism of the 5th (resurrection) and
6th (ascension) initiations are considered to be teaching
tools by the spiritual hierarchy. Man can, they say, transform
himself, and Jesus [a divine man] was the
one who showed it can be done.. [New Agers
claim the following about Matreya:] For 640
years, he has been in a Syrian body, and is now in Rome.
In charge of Jews and Christians in both the East and
the West, his present purpose is to raise the Christian churches
up as one by destroying their rivalries, and if invited, to lead
a newly united Church..
"Matreya is "the Father," the Cosmic Flame
of Love who engulfed Jesus in the Ascension Flame
in his 6th initiation.. The New Age Ascension Research Center
says this in support of Marian Appearances: 'Mother
Mary is still working to uplift mass consciousness
and return the people to God.. Lord Maitreya: "Known
as `Lord God' in Eden, Guru of twin flames"
(Lord Maitreya, Ascension Research
Center)
The two hearts.. have now evolved into what is called
the "United Hearts" of "Holy Love."
[Symbol is a small flaming heart within a large
flaming heart]. There is.. [an uncanny similarity]
between Jesus' and Mary's `United Hearts' engulfed in flames and
the New Age god of "Twin Flames".. each
of those flames is Father/Mother God of the
New Age.. " (Alabama Discernment Ministries

Adjustments to be made to attain `global worship of
all' will be minimal because of lack of knowledge. An understanding
of the Bible cannot be attained from others. We have to read it
ourselves (not only once, but daily) to become saturated
with the Word, not with their fire. Lack of knowledge
have blinded Christians from the truth
of the Gospel. Obviously none of these descriptions
are from the Gospel and represent another Jesus.
These are spirits masqarading as ones sent from the fallen spirit
realm of heaven, bent on deceiving the world into following Satan
so that he may receive global worship.
It is Mystery Babylon, the unseen, unnoticed, power of the
enemy which is uniting the nations through a vast net of
teachings of religions and philosophies. All under
the guise of providing love, peace, and prosperity, yet
spiritually deadly. Revelation 17:5, "And upon her forehead
was a name written, Mystery, Babylon the Great, the mother
of harlots and abominations of the earth."
Our protection is the following: Put on the whole
armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against
the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh
and blood, but against principalities, against powers,
against the rulers of the darkness of
this world, against spiritual wickedness in
high places.. Stand therefore, having your loins girt
about with truth, and having on the breastplate of
righteousness [Jesus], And your feet shod with the preparation
of the gospel of peace; Above all, taking the shield of
faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts
of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword
of the Spirit, which is the word of God: praying always..
" (Ephesians 6:10..18)
