12 Ways to Obtain a Jubilee Indulgence

Original Url:https://www.ncregister.com/news/jubilee-2025-indulgences

January 3, 2025

Excerpt(s) From the Article:

Requirements: detachment from sin (even venial), confession within about 20 days, Communion, and prayer for the Pope's intentions (e.g., an Our Father and Hail Mary).

Biblical Connection:

1 Timothy 2:5: For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus

Our Thoughts:

The Roman Catholic Church has been handing out 'Indulgences' since the 3rd century. NO one can 'free' another from the punishment of sin. Christ ALONE is our mediator. Yes, we are to confess our sins to each other and forgive one another (all of us to each other not a priest), but that DOES NOT take the place of confessing and repenting, and seeking forgiveness from Christ for our sins.

James 5:16: Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

The Protestant Reformation took off when Martin Luther nailed his, 'The Ninety-five Theses, also known as the Disputation on the Power and Efficacy of Indulgences' on the castle door. The ninety-five theses as mentioned above disputed the power and efficacy of INDULGENCES.

Indulges are not Biblical, they are not from God, they were never ever mentioned by Jesus, they are purely the fabrication of the Papacy. In rebellion against them, the Protestant Reformation began and yet TODAY they still exist and the Roman Catholic Church is still handing them out! They may not be selling them but the mere fact they believe they have any power is ludicrous. In the blurb above it lists requirements- can it be any more blatant that this is a manmade deceptive means of deceiving people?

Anyone who doesn't realize that the Papacy is STILL the Beast today, and will always be the Beast of Revelation, has been blinded by delusions because they don't want truth!

Beast and the Image to the Beast:

Can't Make it to Rome? Here are the U.S. locations where you can get a jubilee indulgence (https://www.catholicworldreport.com/2025/02/24/cant-make-it-to-rome-here-are-the-u-s-locations-where-you-can-get-a-jubilee-indulgence/)

In this article as well it talks about this: 'What does it mean to get an indulgence?' It discusses the church's right to 'bind and loose' on Earth but they've grossly misinterpreted scriptures once again to suit their own desires.

Link to a commentary on Binding and Loosing (https://www.studylight.org/commentaries/eng/acc/matthew-16.html) It's definitely not any power given to the Papacy. Skip to the Matthew 16:19 on the commentary page and please read it all.

Excerpt From the Commentary: After all these evidences and proofs of the proper use of these terms, to attempt to press the word, into the service long assigned them by the Church of Rome, would to use the words of Dr. Lightfoot, be "a matter of laughter or of madness." No Church can use them in the sense thus imposed upon them, which was done merely to serve secular ends and least of all can that very Church that thus abuses them.

The Army of God Comes Out of the Shadows

January 9, 2025

Excerpt(s) From the Article:

1.

Tens of millions of American Christians are embracing a charismatic movement known as the New Apostolic Reformation, which seeks to destroy the secular state.

2.

...At this point, tens of millions of believers- about 40 percent of American Christians, including Catholics, according to a recent Denison University survey- are embracing an alluring, charismatic movement that has little use for religious pluralism, individual rights, or constitutional democracy. It is mystical, emotional, and in its way, wildly utopian. It is transnational, multiracial, and apologetically political. Early leaders called it the New Apostolic Reformation, or NA, although some of those same leaders are now engaged in a rebranding effort as the antidemocratic character of the movement has come to light. And people who have never heard the name are nonetheless adopting the movement's central ideas. These include the belief that God speaks through modern-day apostles and prophets. That demonic forces can control not only individuals, but entire territories and institutions. That the Church is not so much a place as an active "army of God," one with a holy mission to claim the Earth for the Kingdom as humanity barrels ever deeper into the End Times.

Although the secular establishment has struggled to take all of this seriously, Trump has harnessed this apocalyptic energy to win the presidency twice.

Biblical Connection:

2 Corinthians 11:14-15: And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.

Our Thoughts:

Many people are deceived. More people are deceived than are not. Many more will be on the broad path and not the narrow. Many are going to tell Jesus Christ that they did all sorts of things in his name but He's going to tell them He doesn't know them. Clearly we are seeing ministers of Satan at work. All those that are not God's are Satan's. There is no middle ground. There is absolutely no third choice.

Those who helped Trump win the presidency twice, need to repent and truly seek forgiveness because he is blatantly not a man of God. His actions, his words even today, these are not those of a man serving God. Could I be wrong? God forgive me. We are to judge right from wrong. We are to look at the fruit (the actions, the lives) of people. We are to love ALL, but not condone evil, join in evil, approve of evil. Those who revel in evil are not of God. We love the sinners, we are sinners. Jesus saved us sinners, and wants all sinners saved from sin. Too many today want Jesus to save them in their sins, not from them.

Lil Wayne's Concert at Adventist Health Arena Postponed Again to May 9

Original Url: https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/lil-waynes-concert-adventist-health-130156345.html

Adventist Health Arena hosted a Disney on Ice show between February 6 to 9th 2025. The Sabbath was between February 7th and 8th this year. Disney on Ice Presents: Magic in the Stars

January 20, 2025

More Information: Stockton Arena was rebranded as Adventist Health Arena in October, 2023. The 10,000-seat arena is located at 248 West Fremont Street in downtown Stockton, California.

Explanation: The rebranding was part of a multi-year, multi-million-dollar partnership between Adventist Health, ASM Global, and the city of Stockton. The arena is home to the Stockton Kings, the G-League Team of the Sacremento Kings. The arena has hosted such events as basketball, arena football, and concerts by artists such as Neil Diamond and Snoop Dogg. The city started taking bids for the arena's naming rights in April, and Adventist Health came out as the winner.

Excerpt(s) From the Article:

Lil Wayne, a five-time GRAMMY Award-winning multi-platinum rap icon, Young Money Entertainment founder, acclaimed author, pro skater, philanthropist, and history-making superstar, will showcase his unparalleled talent and leave an indelible mark on the audience," ASM Stockton said in a previous news release.

Biblical Connection:

Matthew 6:24: No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

The Adventist church has mingled so thoroughly with the world and worldly pursuits, they've completely lost sight of their message. They are trying to serve two masters, but God tells us that's not possible.

"God's people are to be true to the trust committed to them. They are not to engage in speculation, neither are they to enter into business enterprises with unbelievers; for this would hinder them in their God-given work." - Testimonies for the Church Vol.9 No.37 Ellen G. White

Our Thoughts:

The corporate Seventh-Day Adventist Church apostatize from our core beliefs long ago. Their window of corporate repentence has closed. As a result of the betrayal of their sacred trust they've sunk way down into the depths of depravity. How many of those events at the arena are held on the Sabbath? How many are ungodly in content? The above is just one of many ways the Seventh-Day Adventist Church has strayed far beyond the boundaries of truth, betraying the trust given to them. Ellen White, the fallible messenger of the Lord, but a true messenger, would be appalled at the state of the church today. The church tries to distance themselves from this sort of thing and hide their evil deeds, yet when you dig into the facts you find they have very filthy hands.

Elise Stefanik Pledges Support for Trump and Israel at U.N. Ambassador Confirmation Hearing

Original Url: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2025/01/21/stefanik-trump-israel-un-ambassador-conformation-hearing/77851128007/

January 21, 2025

Excerpt(s) From the Article:

Stefanik says Israel has Biblical Right to West Bank. Asked by Van Hollen if she agreed with the view held by some far-right Israeli officials, including Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich and ex-National Security Minister Ben Gvir, that Israel has a "Biblical Right to the entire West Bank," Stefanik said she did.

Biblical Connection:

Daniel 11:45: And he shall plant the tabernacles of his palace between the seas in the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come to his end, and none shall help him.

Our Thoughts:

We know the "HE" of Daniel 11:45 is the Beast: The Papacy.

Therefore, from the foregoing, we conclude that verses 36-39 of Daniel 11 accurately set forth in prophetic language the work and history of papal Rome, which we believe has specifically fulfilled these predictions in the theological claims of the Papacy and in its history as a church.

Even in 1954 The Biblical Research Institute was unduly cautious in commenting on Daniel 11:40-45. While “how” verses 40-44 can come to pass was, and still is, obscure, the Institute’s study itself identifies the parties. There can be no doubt that “the” King is the papacy. The King of the North and the King of the South are clearly to be found in the territories of the former Seleucid and Ptolemaic empires. Furthermore, it was, and is, obvious that “he” in verse 45 refers to “the” King, which is the papacy.

We know that the Papacy has designs on Jerusalem. Because of these facts, we watch for situations taking place in Jerusalem in our time. The current event noted above is important because the United States, specifically the current administration, has a great interest in what is going on in Israel. To read that the United States United Nations Ambassador believes that Israel has a Biblical RIght to the West Bank, is outright mingling politics with religion beyond doubt.

No, the West Bank isn't Jerusalem, but we need to keep our eye on things. We also know that the Image to the Beast is to be formed from political-religious actions. We must watch as the scenes unfold, drawing us ever closer to the end and our Lord's glorious return. Go here to read a very indepth study on major end-time events.

The Catholic Church and Its Preoccupation with Power

Original url: https://churchandstate.org.uk/2025/04/the-catholic-church-and-its-preoccupation-with-power/

January 21, 2025

Excerpt(s) From the Article:

The past few years have been very active for the Roman Catholic Church in America, and, as time passes, its activities have become less thinly veiled and its intentions more evident.

Biblical Connection:

Rev 13: 11-18: And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. And he exerciseth all power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therin to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, and deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword and did live. And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the berast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast for it is the number of a man: and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

Our Thoughts:

So many people would have us believe that the Roman Catholic Church is no longer a danger. Our own church in a court document once said:

Although it is true that there was a period in the life of the Seventh-day Adventist Church when the denomination took a distinctly anti-Roman Catholic viewpoint, and the term "hierarchy" was used in a pejorative sense to refer to the papal form of church governance, that the attitude on the Church's part was nothing more than the manifestation of widespread anti-popery among conservative protestant denominations in the early part of this century and the latter part of the last, and which has now been consigned to the historical trash heap so far as the Seventh-day Adventist Church is concerned.

We know the truth in our Bibles cannot be changed by us, and the truth has revealed that the Papacy will ever remain evil and its fate will be the lake burning with fire.

Rev 19:20: And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.

Catholic and U.S. Bishops for Trump

Original Url: https://opentabernacle.wordpress.com/2025/01/12/catholics-for-trump/

Excerpt(s) From the Article:

Evangelicals helped Trump in states he was mostly going to win anyway. Catholics? Now we're talking about Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan and Wisconsin. And that was the election.

Biblical Connection:

Rev 13: 11-18: And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. And he exerciseth all power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therin to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, and deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword and did live. And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the berast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast for it is the number of a man: and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

Our Thoughts:

The late Webmaster Eric Jones went into great detail about the way the United States, and particularly the Republican Party, have been corrupted by the Papacy's deceptions. Please brwse the Final World Events and then study in-depth to gain the knowledge necessary to unmask some of Satan's deceptions for our time.

Trump's Win Sparks Hope for Jewish sovereignty on Temple Mount - Opinion

Original Url: https://www.jpost.com/opinion/article-839334

January 27, 2025

Excerpt(s) From the Article:

I quickly called a few friends and organized an impromptu prayer service - a unique gathering of Jews and Christians that is uncommon here in Israel. Moreover, under the so-called "status quo" agreement that grants exclusive prayer rights to Muslims, it was actually illegal for Jews and Christians to pray on the Temple Mount Defying these restrictions felt particularly meaningful as we ushered in a new era and celebrated Trump's win. But that wasn't even the most significant aspect of the unprecedented event.

Biblical Connection:

We are to keep our eyes on Jerusalem. We are to watch and pray.

Daniel 11:45: And he shall plant the tabernacle of his palace between the seas and the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come to his end, and none shall help him.

The Temple Mount is in Jerusalem. Again as already mentioned, it's been proven that the Roman Catholic Church is pulling the strings behind the scenes in the Republican Party. They've seeped their deceptions into entire religious organizations that can't even see what's happened. Just because the Beast has not revealed his hand for people to see- doesn't mean it's not there. We mustn't forget-

2 Corinthians 11:14: And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.

Our Thoughts:

In his first term, Trump had the United States Jewish Embassy moved to Jerusalem. This was an unprecedented act after past presidents saying they wouldn't move it because they didn't want to upset the Status Quo over there. What Trump has in store now for Jerusalem, I don't know, but he's sure been talking about Israel and taking over Gaza for his own purposes, though he may have backed down recently. He's a very fickle liar so it's extremely hard to know what to believe when he opens his mouth.

"Hope is rekindled in hearts in the Temple of Jerusalem because Christ our hope has entered it..."

Note: Yes he is speaking of Jesus going into the Temple as a babe, but that same Temple was spoken of by Jesus much later.

Matthew 24:1-2: And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple. And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.

Matthew 23:37-38: O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not! Behold your house is left unto you desolate.

Donald Trump Tells National Prayer Breakfast: 'Bring God Back'

Original Url: https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-tells-national-prayer-breakfast-bring-god-back-2027362

February 3, 2025

Excerpt(s) From the Article:

President Donald Trump announced on Thursday his intention to eliminate "anti-Christian bias" in the U.S. by forming a task force led by Attorney General Pam Bondi to investigate the "targeting" of Christians.

Trump said at the National Prayer Breakfast that he believes people "can't be happy without religion, without that belief. Let's bring religion back. Let's bring God back into our lives."

Trump further stated that Bondi would be tasked with "fully prosecuting anti-Christian violence and vandalism in our society" and "moving heaven and earth to defend the rights of Christians and religious believers nationwide."

Biblical Connection:

Matthew 22:17-21: Tell us therefore, What thinkest thou? Is it lawful to give tribute unto Caesar, or not? But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, Why tempt ye me, ye hypocrites? Shew me the tribute money. And they brought unto him a penny. And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription? They say unto him, Caesar's. Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto God the things that are God's.

John 18:36: Jesus answered. My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.

1 Timothy 2:5: For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus

Ellen G. White:

GC 455.1: When the leading churches of the United States, uniting upon such points of doctrine as are held by them in common, shall influence the state to enforce their decrees and to sustain their institutions, then Protestant America will have formed an image of the Roman hierarchy, and the infliction of civil penalties upon dissenters will inevitably result.

5T 451: When Protestantism shall stretch her hand across the gulf to grasp the hand of the Roman power, when she shall reach over the abyss to clasp hands with Spiritualism, when, under the influence of this threefold union, our country shall repudiate every principle of its Constitution as a Protestant and Republican government, and shall make provisions for the propagation of papal falsehoods and delusions, then we may know that the time has come for the marvelous working of Satan, and that the end is near.

Our Thoughts:

(.com Webmaster:)

Men attempted to trick Jesus by presenting a politically charged question to him: Were Jews lawfully supposed to give tribute to Caesar?

Now, tribute in this case meant tax. Jesus knew that the Jews lived under the rule of the Gentiles off and on throughout their history. Jesus knew their current Gentile rulers allowed the Jewish people to keep their religious practices in place, however, the Gentile ruler was also demanding taxes from them. This wasn't a question of surrendering their beliefs, this was a question about giving a secular ruler a part of their money. Jesus responded with that most famous of sayings: "Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto God the things that are God's." He said to give Caesar what was his and Caesar obviously believed that tax was his due. Jesus also said to give God the things that are God's. If you want to include 'tithe' that is one of the things that belongs to God.

Basically, it is understandable that Jesus was advocating for separating the two. The ruling government should get what its theirs by their government laws, and God should get what is His by His laws. Trying to say that because they followed God they shouldn't have to give to someone who didn't follow God, the tax they demanded, was wrong. Now, if the government tried to usurp the place of God in their lives, then they were to lay down their lives if need be rather than betray God. (Daniel 3)

The Papacy is a prime example of a system of Church and State mingled. The Vatican is its own governing state. "Vatican City State is an ecclesiastical or sacerdotal-monarchical state ruled by the Pope, who is the bishop of Rome and head of the Catholic Church." - Wikipedia

Mingling in politics is something the Papacy has done throughout its entire history. Trump setting up a task force to stop ANTI-CHRISTIAN BIAS is using the United States government for religious purposes. A true image of the Beast growing ever stronger.

(.Net Webmaster:)

It is equally dangerous that this means the United States government is now in charge of what Christianity is. There are many forms of Christianity, many who we believe have left the path of God's truth in favor of the Papacy. God's truth may soon be "Anti-Christian Bias" and an example of such rhetoric is already out on Twitter (X). (Pictured right)

When Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde, the reverend at the National Cathedral prayer service for Donald Trump's inauguration said: "I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared. There are gay, lesbian, transgender children, Democratic, Republican, independent families — some who fear for their lives." Donald Trump demanded an apology and other so-called Christians were outraged. This specific call for mercy failed the purity test of Donald Trump's Christianity.

Matthew 5:43-45: Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.

If a Bishop of the Episcopal Church, a church that described itself as Protestant, yet Catholic, can fail the purity test of Donald Trump's Christianity, then God's truth will have no place in this mix of religion and government.

Religious Zionist Rabbis Bless Trump as "God's Messenger"

Original Url: https://israel365news.com/400378/religious-zionist-rabbis-bless-trump-as-gods-messenger/

February 12, 2025

Excerpt(s) From the Article:

The rabbis wrote that Trump was chosen by God for this significant role...

Biblical Connection:

2 Timothy 3:1-5: This know also, that in the last perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

2 Thessalonians 2:10-12: And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

Our Thoughts:

Tell me which of the above is Trump NOT guilty of? Far be it from me to judge ANYONE'S eternal life- that is not in my power to do! But we are all to be able to judge right from wrong. The Apostles were told this:

Matthew 10:13-14: And if the house be worthy, let your peace come upon it: but if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you. And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet.

In order to judge a house, city worthy they had to make some decision, yes? Those that don't receive Christ's words, Christ's truth, He doesn't want us to be around them trying to convince them after we've given them a chance to know truth.

We have to be able to judge others behaviors and if we look at Trump's at this point in time, how can we say he's a man of God? We can't. Yet, people are deceived, they are believing strong delusions because they believe not the truth!

Vice President JD Vance, a Catholic, Acknowledges the Pope's criticism of US Immigration Crackdown

February 20, 2025

Excerpt(s) From the Article:

Vance, who led the gathering in a prayer for Francis' health, asserted that religious leaders shouldn't be treated as social-media influencers subject to constant debate.

Biblical Connection:

Revelation 13:11-12: And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.

Our Thoughts:

The Vice President of the United States leading prayer for Pope Francis... A representatie of the Image of the Beast praying for the First Beast.

For an in-depth study click here.

As I sit here writing for a moment things have become surreal. I've been an Adventist off and on for 42 years. During those 42 years I always knew the Beast was the Papacy, and the Image would be a form of the United States joining with the Papacy. I've studied all of this for a long time. The surreal part came in when I had the odd thought that what if someone who doesn't know what I know about the Beast and the Image of the Beast reads this current event. They'd be lost. They'd think me crazy. This isn't a website for those who aren't willing to seek pure truth and delve deep into Bible study to obtain that truth. If you're an Adventist you know what I'm talking about. We are watching the signs of the time, we are praying as we watch. We don't want to come under Satanic delusion, something so many are going to succumb to. We only, ever want truth. When I read that the Vice President (a Catholic convert) is leading prayer at a National Catholic Prayer Breakfast, praying for the Pope, this is news because Church and State are supposed to be separate. Here the State is dealing with Church and even talking about State business with the Church and the Church's reaction to State's business. This is more than a simple prayer for the Pope's health, so much more. Don't be deceived by thinking Vance being at odds with the Pope thinking it reveals the Beast and its Image are further apart. Satan would have us deceived in all things, remember that!

Excerpt(s) From the Article:

In both wars, the positions- and often mind-boggling statements- of President Donald Trump loom large. But as Europe scrambles to come up with a response to the angry new American approach to Kyiv, Israel finds itself with no overt criticism from the Trump administration and wide freedom of action as it seeks to achieve its key war goals of destroying Hamas and bringing home all remaining hostages.

Biblical Connection:

Revelation 13:11-18: And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on earth in the sight of men, And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword and did live. And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

Our Thoughts:

The Image of the Beast is looming large in world view. The political/religious reign of the current despotic president of the United States and his minions are blatantly witnessed by all who care to see.

White House Holds Ash Wednesday Mass for Staff

Original Url: https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/262587/white-house-holds-ash-wednesday-mass-for-staff

March 5, 2025

Excerpt(s) From the Article:

President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump also issued a greeting for Ash Wednesday.

"This Ash Wednesday, we join in prayer with the tens of millions of American Catholics and other Christians beginning the holy season of Lent - a time of spiritual anticipation of the passion, death, and resurrection of Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ," the message reads.

Biblical Connection:

2nd Corinthians 11:13-15: For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.

Our Thoughts:

Only by knowing the TRUTH will we not be deceived by these false apostles, deceitful workers, evil angels transformed to appear as angels of light and ministers of righteousness... who are EVIL.

Deception is one of Satan's greatest tools. What is more horrific than finding out you've been following a devil in disguise? We so readily believe that those who preach the perfect words are God's, but Satan knows those words and his evil angel hoard knows them too.

So often in my studies, I quote these verses:

Matthew 7:21-23: Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then I will profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

If you've ever been deceived, then you know how awful it is. You are incredulous that you were fooled. You beat yourself up thinking you should have known, you should have seen. You might look back on all the little things that you should have noticed but didn't. You tell yourself you'll never let yourself be deceived again.

We don't usually let ourselves be deceived. Sure, sometimes we might suspect someone is lying to you - a loved one maybe - and you choose to overlook it because you love them and it's easier to keep loving them than face the heartache of confronting the lying and having your life change. That is pretending to be deceived, because once you know the deception exists it's lost its basic nature of deception.

Deceiving is not knowing. Satan deceives and the majority of the entire world will be deceived because we know the Bible tells us this:

Matthew 7:14: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

Matthew 24:24: For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.

We know this truth and so many just ignore it completely! They pretend it doesn't exist at all. They want to believe everyone will be saved in the day of Jesus Christ's return.

Just reading the words... FEW THERE BE THAT FIND IT... few there be that find the WAY, should have all of us on our knees praying we are not deceived, we are not among the many, a daily prayer.

Rejecting Arab Plan, White House Says Trump Stands by His Vision to Rebuild Gaza...

March 5, 2025

Original Url: https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/rejecting-arab-plan-white-house-says-trump-stands-by-his-vision-to-rebuild-gaza-free-from-hamas/

Excerpt(s) From the Article:

The White House comes out against the Arab plan for the post-war management of Gaza and sticks to US President Donald Trump's plan to take over the enclave and relocate all of its two million residents.

Biblical Connection:

Ephesians 6:12: 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.

Daniel 11:45: And he shall plant the tabernacle of his palace between the seas in the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come to his end and none shall help him.

Our Thoughts:

While we are told to watch Jerusalem- knowing that the 'tabernacles' will be planted by the Papacy there. We have to keep our eyes opened to the political doings there, when the Papacy is involved and when the Image of the Beast (Papacy) is involved. Numerous articles of the late Webmaster Eric Jones go into depth on the fact that the politics in America are deceptively of the Beast in ways so many refuse to see. Read More Here.

Another message we dare not ignore from Eric Jones (written during Donald Trump's first term):

In His prophecies of the end times Jesus repeatedly warned His followers to "Watch." As we watch, it is evident that the unfolding scenes are complex- so complex that eyes may glaze over from trying to understand them; but we cannot afford to fall asleep on watch. 

As 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" (Eph. 6:12,) it is particularly evident that Rev. 16:13-14 is being fulfilled. 

By deception Satan would gather all of humanity into the Battle of the Great Day of God Almighty on his side if it were possible. His power to deceive is very great; but the power of the Spirit of Almighty God is greater yet. It is He Who will give us an understanding that is impregnable against Satan's deceptions.

We can understand the unfolding end-time prophecies with prayer and perseverance in time to be protected against the final overwhelming deception, which is closely connected to the fulfillment of Dan. 11:45. We have seen the meteoric rise of Donal Trump to the U.S. presidency, how swiftly events that are stranger than fiction can overrun the nation and the world. To the majority of inhabitants of the earth what is predicted in prophecy might also seem stranger than fiction; but it will come to pass.

Our Thoughts on the Above Paragraph:

Today, under Donald Trump's shocking second term as President of the United States, things are taking even MORE an unbelievable turn than they were the first time. We must WATCH.

Extra:

More from Eric Jones

Everywhere that Trump turns his attention, the results are disruption of the norms that have prevailed in the nation and the world, and an intensified danger of conflict where threat has always existed. While North Korea is one area of danger, there is another in the Middle East, and this is also the area where the final dramatic events of earth's history are to take place. Trump has been stirring up trouble between Saudi Arabia and Iran, with war threatened. It can be stated with confidence that this would not fit the prophecies of Dan. 11:40-44. However, it does stir up conflict in this volatile area which is involved in these prophecies. What is very clear is that the Trump administration is engaged in dangerous meddling in Palestine, the geographical area which is central to the final great prophecy, signaling the imminent close of probation for all of humanity (Dan. 12:1.) Here we are confronted by a very complicated situation which is difficult to read...

Project 2025 and Opus Dei

Original Url: http://adventmessenger.org/project-2025-and-opus-dei/

March 5, 2025

Excerpt(s) From the Article:

The world has been noticing the astonishing pace at which the second Trump administration has proceeded with its agenda. Historic announcements on the future of Gaza and Ukraine; the end of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion programs within the federal government; the swiftness in rounding up undocumented migrants to deport them from the United States; the official proclamation of the American government that only two genders will be recognized (male and female)- these are some of the measures that have already impacted American society and the global discourse.

A large part of Donald Trump's policy procedures are in line with Project 2025, a 900-page manifesto composed by the Heritage Foundation (one of the most influential conservative think tanks in America, established in 1973). Its present leader, Kevin Roberts, is receiving ongoing spirtual advice from Opus Dei.

NOTE: Opus Dei translates to "Work of God" in Latin. It refers to a Catholic organization whose members seek to live a holy life by incorporating their faith into their daily work and lives.

Biblical Connection:

Revelation 13:11-19: And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on earth in the sight of men, And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

Our Thoughts:

(.com Webmaster:)

Once again we need to keep our eyes open. We need to be watching so we are NOT taken unaware. Too many people believe they are incapable of being duped. They are above being deceived because they love God and accept Jesus and all the rest means nothing all that important. That old prophecy about the mark of the beast and the seven last plagues, those that don't love God and accept Jesus, those are the ones that have to worry about that. I wish I could SCREAM into the minds of those people- Jesus is going to profess these words to them-

Matthew 7:22-23: Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And I will profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

Who are those who believe they are doing the Lord's work? It's not those who haven't accepted Jesus and don't love God. These are the very people who are shouting their love of God and Jesus! Outwardly to all appearances they LOVE God and Jesus! They believe with their whole hearts they LOVE God and Jesus! They will hear those words of Jesus and only realize too late that Jesus didn't know them, that they are workers of iniquity. DON'T BE FOOLED!

Those many are not God deniers and Jesus haters. He didn't say, Many will say to me in that day, I've hated you, Lord, I've denied you, Jesus.

The many say they believe in God and love Jesus- but who they really love and believe in is themselves and Satan has them deceived into believing they are God fearing and Jesus loving. When we read about the politics and religion mingling it's straight from Revelation 13 and the Image of the Beast being formed, the image, ultimately many will bow down to receiving the mark of the beast.

(.net Webmaster:)

How many of us truly know Jesus? How many of us truly listen to his message? He did not speak his words and leave his message for us to ignore it. How much did Jesus make the road even narrower with his words of love and compassion? Because love and compassion are difficult. It's easy to look at those we view as wrong and different and wish to deprive them of comforts or compassion. Yet, that is not the way of Jesus. It is easy to cast people out of your family to disregard their very existence, yet Jesus calls us to show compassion and love to those who would hurt us.

Project 2025 is the destruction of compassion in the United States. It is the destruction of the way of life Jesus spoke of. The people pushing for this agenda would crucify Jesus again if he came to them, because he dare offer hope to the hopeless. Because it is harder to know God as a wealthy man than it is as a beggar. We see it in our current leaders who call for televising the trouble of migrants, lie blatantly to our faces, and cheer on the demented love of self that Donald Trump lives and represents.

Yet, people call Donald Trump a representative of God. When did Moses or David live opposite to God without punishment? Donald Trump is not a flawed man of god, he embodies and relishes his cruelty, his insults, his evil and his message is easy to see. His message is cheered on by those who say they love God and Jesus. You cannot simultaneously serve God and the image to the beast.

God, cling to us and tighten our grip on you when it falters. We are all only human, so it is your mercy where hope may be found. Please do not let us be deceived.

The President and First Lady's Message on Ash Wednesday, 2025

Excerpt(s) From the Article:

This Ash Wednesday, we join in prayer with the tens of millions of American Catholics and other Christians beginning the holy season of Lent- a time of spiritual anticipation of the passion, death, and Resurrection of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Biblical Connection:

Revelation 13:11-18: And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.

Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

Our Thoughts:

The president of the United States JOINS in prayer with TENS of MILLIONS of American Catholics... The Papacy is the BEAST and will FOREVER be the Beast until it is destroyed in the lake of fire. Will a literal 'beast' be burnt in the flames? Will the Papacy as a false religious system be burned up in the fire? What constitutes the Beast-Papacy? Its followers, its adherence to the principles of that false religious system. It's leaders, ministers, proponents. All of those who make up the Beast-Papacy will be destroyed eternally in the lake of fire.

Those who do not want the truth, are blinding by deception believing they are the true followers of God. The leader of the United States - the lamb with two horns, a voting democracy- the leader joins in prayer with the Beast-Papacy followers. Once more the mingling of church and state and an Image of that Beast is forming.

Lee Greenwood joins effort to place Trump-endorsed Bible in Oklahoma public schools

Excerpt(s) From the Article:

Singer Lee Greenwood is teaming up with the superintendent of Oklahoma's public schools in a bid to secure the funding necessary to ensure the placement of the "God Bless the USA Bible" in classrooms across the state as the effort faces pushback from the courts and lawmakers.

Biblical Connection:

Revelation 13:11-18: And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.

Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

Our Thoughts:

(.com Webmaster)

This article speaks for itself- Religion and Politics mingled in a Bible that contains- 'Founding Father Documents- The US Constitution, The Bill of Rights, The Declaration of Independence, and The Pledge of Allegiance...' NO Bible should contain such things! A concordance, atlas of Biblical lands past and present, Biblical terminology- these things help in Biblical understanding, NOT political documents!

(.net Webmaster)

Donald Trump's Bible asserts that the founding documents of the United States are religious documents, worthy of accompanying the word of God itself. This perpetuates the myth that the United States was formed as a solely Christian nation and not as a melting pot of varying beliefs as it actually was. Persecuted individuals sought freedom from persecution and those founding the government decided that such freedom could not exist without extending it to all religions. As frustrating as it is, especially for those of us who see what the Bible says and how it is twisted into falsehood, this means that falsehood must be given the same basic respect as truth as far as the state is concerned.

It sounds blasphemous until you realize the horrific takeover that is occurring before us. A specific denomination of Christianity, false Christians, are seeking to turn our government into a Christian Theocracy, but not for God's truth! They seek a nation professing love to a God who will not know them! This Bible is a stepping stone; not to a Godly nation, but to a Satanic one. For Satan will not come as a demon to terrify us, but rather as if he were Christ himself. Satan would bask in the worship of every person in the world if it were not for the protection of God's truth! God's truth will be persecuted by Satan and those who worship Satan, and all of it will happen in the name of God.

King Charles III Plans to Meet Pope Francis During Vatican State Visit in April

March 17, 2025

Excerpt(s) From the Article:

The visit to the Vatican is symbolic of efforts to build closer ties between the Catholic Church and the Church of England, which split from Rome in the 16th century during the reign of King Henry VIII. Charles, who is the head of the Church of England, made building bridges between people of all faiths a priority since he ascended the throne 2 1/2 years ago.

Biblical Connection:

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 Thoughts:

One of the harlots from the mother of all harlots, Babylon- The Papacy. The head of the Church of England, King Charles VIII, is wanting closer ties with the Papacy. The harlot daughter wanting to be even closer to the Mother of all Harlots.

Evangelical Leaders Pray Over Trump in Oval Office: 'Faith is More Important Than Ever Before'

Original Url: https://www.christianpost.com/news/evangelical-leaders-pray-over-trump-in-oval-office.html

March 21, 2025

Excerpt(s) From the Article:

"With gratitude and humility, we pray for President Trump. You assigned him, you appointed him, you anointed him for such a time as this. We ask You to cover him with the blood of Jesus, empowering him to advance an agenda of righteousness and justice, truth and love.

Protect him from all evil as he undergirds our nation with the firewall of our Judeo-Christian value system. Fulfill Your purpose in his life.

And as a result, we pray by faith that through his leadership, the following will take place in America- the fulfillment of Isaiah 58:8: Salvation will come like the dawn. Wounds will quickly heal. Godliness will lead us forward as the glory of God will protect us from behind. In Jesus' name, Amen.

This is the No. 1 most pro-faith president in my lifetime. This is the fulfillment of Ronald Reagan's dream," Rodriguez proclaimed. "I was a kid, but I remember being inspired by Ronald Reagan, and he would talk about faith and America being a city on a hill, and the faith that guides us as Americans is our Judeo-Christian values system. This is taking his dream and bringing it to reality."

Biblical Connection:

Revelation 13:11-18: And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on earth in the sight of men, And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword and did live. And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

Our Thoughts:

Donald Trump has proven time and time again that he is far from one who holds true Christian values. He is not seeking truth, Biblical truth. He is seeking a platform to stand upon to garner the admiration of other Christians who also lack Biblical truth in their lives. The blind leading the blind. The Image of the Beast forming into a formidable monster of a beast in its own right, could it do any less given the image it is taken from?

First of all, allow me to offer the congratulations of the Greek-American Community on your re-election to the Presidency of our Nation. We all look forward to a bright future for all Americans. I also want to thank you for creating the White House Faith Office, which promises to be an extraordinary collaboration between your Administration and Faith Leaders.

We are here to celebrate the world's first Democracy, Greece, and the world's greatest Democracy, the United States of America. We acclaim and remember the Immortal Heroes of 1821, who like those of 1776, gave their all to attain liberty for their land.

Mr. President, we especially thank you for your commitment to Christianity and especially the Christians of the Middle East, who keep Christianity alive and thriving in the lands of its origin.

Through your leadership, you embody the values of our Christian faith and a love for the Gospel. You remind me of the great Roman Emperor Constantine, who founded and built the magnificent city of Constantinople- my birthplace, today known as Istanbul.

Biblical Connection:

Revelation 13:11-18: And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.

Our Thoughts: Wow. All I could think of as I read this article was Trump's ego inflating at an all-time high! What lies! And yet, Trump feasts upon lies that pad his narcissistic view of himself.

Christian Nationalists Call on the Government to Seize 'Wicked Apostate' Churches.'

Original Url: https://www.peoplefor.org/rightwingwatch/christian-nationalists-call-government-seize-wicked-apostate-churches

March 25, 2025

Excerpt(s) From the Article:

On the most recent episode of the Right Response Ministries podcast, radical Christian nationalist pastor Joel Webbon and his co-hosts advocated for the government to literally seize control of churches that do not share their far-right theology. It's the latest bit of evidence that they view core American values like religious liberty and religious pluralism ass nothing more than roadblocks to be dismantled as they impose their Christian nationalist vision on the U.S.

Joel Webbon is a hard-core Christian nationalist who believes women should not have the right to vote and Jews should not be able to hold public office. Along with Oklahoma state Sen. Dusty Deevers, former Trump administration official William Wolfe, and others, Webbon contributed to "The Statement on Christian Nationalism and the Gospel," which declared that the United States must formally "acknowledge the Lordship of Christ" in all its laws, "abolish abortion," outlaw marriage equality, and "recapture our national sovereignty from godless, global entities who present a grave threat to civilization."

Biblical Connection:

Revelation 13:11-18: And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.

Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

Revelation 14:9-12: And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name. Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

Our Thoughts:

(.com Webmaster)

So many people believe in the Godless idea of forcing God into politics. Not only that, they want to force THEIR religion, THEIR idea of God into politics. The freedom of religion would be dismantled. They want to set up one religion for all to fallow. This will set up things for the Mark of the Beast.

(.net Webmaster)

It seems like a contradiction to allow godless behavior and the worship of false gods, but it is the same allowance that makes us free to find the truth. In a perfect world, God's truth would be the only religion and there would be no need for freedom of religion. However, we live in an imperfect world and in an imperfect world, it is less likely that the truth hold onto power with all of Satan's scheming and influence. In this imperfect world, that single version of Christianity that becomes the Christianity of the State will be a blasphemous Christianity. A Christianity that worships not Christ, but the devil himself, and knows not and cares not for the difference.
