As Ahab and the apostate tribes of Israel were troubled, so will the Papacy be troubled when the same messages are delivered to him from the last day Elijah, who will turn the hearts of disobedience Israel to the fidelity of the truth. “Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD…Remember the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded to him in Horeb for all Israel, with the statutes and judgments.” (Malachi 4:4-5) The message to uphold the law that the Papacy has trodden underfoot shall be proclaimed from tongues ignited by the spiritual flame of fire calling men to repentance, “lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.” (Mal. 4:6).
This is a message for “all Israel”; not the ten tribes only, but for spiritual Judah & Benjamin also. The message will be against the apostate power of the Papal restoration, and against the apostasy of Protestantism weilding this same power over the shores of America to enforce the worship of the Papal dogmas of Sunday under the Trinity, and persecuting those who keep the holy Sabbath rest in the commandments of God. This message is declared as the message of the “third angel” giving the message with “a loud voice”; the message is a denunciation against these very ones.
“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.”
(Revelation 14:9-12)

Notice that the ones who receive “no rest” day or night are the those who honor the beast (the Papal church/state) and his image (Protestant America church/state- click here to see more); who enforce the mark of the Papacy. But it is announced that if any do not turn from these sins, they will be smitten with a curse. Those who give this message are identified with those who “keep the commandments of God”. The Elijah message is to prepare the people for the return of Christ, to receive the blessing and not the curse. Revelation 22:14 tells us this message of the loud cry of the third angel must be received if they are to enter into the heavenly glorious land: “Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.”
The reason this message comes up from the east is because it is signified as the “angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels… Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, until we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads. And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed a hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of Israel.” (Rev. 7:2) This message that comes with a loud voice is the sealing message to seal the redeemed who will stand faultless and pure before the throne of God upon heavenly Mt. Zion: “And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father’s name written in their foreheads…these are they which were not defiled with women (apostate churches); for they are virgins. These follow the Lamb wheresoever He goes…These were redeemed from among men…”
(Revelation 14:1,4)

Some people believe these 144,000 that aree sealed are literal Jews, but Daniel 9’s determination against the fleshly seed of Israel makes that impossible. These souls who are sealed by the angel with the loud voice from the East are the people signified by the tribes after the seven times; who are called to recognize their identity as tribes of Israel. Thus, they are called to remove their feet from error and apostasy. If they reject light from heaven; they stand in no more favor with God than did the Jews who crucified Christ. If they fail to recognize this, and crucify the light of heaven, they begin to repeat the history of the apostate tribes of Israel after the flesh who were destroyed because of their sins. This message is to go forward to declare to the people their transgressions and sins (Isaiah 58:1); it is to be made known that an apostate church that rejects light from heaven is identified as prophetic Babylon in the Scriptures, because they choose rather to adhere to the doctrines and practices of heathenism than to the teachings of the God of Israel. It is the swelling of this Loud Cry message which troubles the King of the north, and when it is received by those in his kingdom, who begin to proclaim the message, he is troubled by the tidings from his own northern kingdom. When the Northern King forces unconverted men into membership into the various apostate churches, the churches will swell with corruption; when this happens, the church numbers herself with the world, is declared to be fallen, and is ripe for judgment. /
In seeking to force God’s children to be part of her apostate communion, cries will be heard as from Israel of old while in Egypt. It is for this reason that the call is made from the servants of God at this time, as it was heard through Moses to Egypt: “And thou shalt say unto Pharaoh, Thus saith the LORD, Israel is my son, even my firstborn: And I say unto thee, Let my son go, that he may serve me: and if thou refuse to let him go, behold, I will slay thy son, even thy firstborn.”
(Exodus 4:22-23)
Thus, a people was to come out of the oppression of Egypt and the Pharaoh then, that they might enter into the glorious land. Likewise, all who are truly Israel and know the Voice of Truth will follow Him wherever He calls (John 10:3-5,16), even as a Shepherd who calls his sheep. Thus is the message of the loud cry is given to Israel who are in the midst of the apostate church of the northern kingdom (Papalism and the fallen churches):
“I saw another angel come down from heaven…And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird. For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her…” Here is the first part of the loud cry, declaring the sins of the church in enforcing pagan doctrines upon the world in the name of Christ. The second follows it: “And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities… in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double.”
(Revelation 18:1-6)

As Joseph received a double-portion of the blessing, with Manasseh and Ephraim, there is a second calling out of the Catholic church for it’s sins and corruption, but also a double-portion of judgment for it’s wickedness. Those who are receive this sealing message will leave the fallen churches and take their stand with the remnant. “Say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel his fellows, and will put them with him, even with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they shall be one in mine hand.”
(Ezekiel 37:19)
Both kingdoms will be one in the hand of Christ, having one king over them, as it was before the apostasy of the ten tribes in the glorious land. Faithful Joseph and the tribes of Israel will consist of the “the remnant” who will be “joint-heirs with Christ” (Romans 8:17): “Hate the evil, and love the good, and establish judgment in the gate: it may be that the LORD God of hosts will be gracious unto the remnant of Joseph.” (Amos 5:15)
The remnant who heed the loud voice of the sealing angel will leave the hand of Ephraim, which signifies those among the tribes in the hand of the King of the north, and be placed into the hand of the Lion of of the Tribe of Judah, who will reign upon the throne of David. As such, the King of the north “shall go forth with great fury to destroy, and utterly to make away many.”
The Scripture speaks of a time when it will be too late to receive this message. Like the foolish virgins who did not put oil into their lamps, and were shut out of the wedding, “I will send a famine in the land” says the Lord, “Not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD: And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the Word of the LORD, and shall not find it. In that day shall the fair virgins and young men faint for thirst. They that swear by the sin of Samaria (the place where Jeroboam, son of Joseph, reigned)…shall fall, and never rise up again.” (Amos 8:11-14) Such is the fearful results of neglecting the light, and spurning the precious privileges and opportunities presented in understand the truth as it is in Jesus.

In the earthly Jerusalem, in the city of Judah was located Mt. Zion, where the Sanctuary was established. In like manner, the heavenly Sanctuary is established in the heavenly Mt. Zion: “Send help from the sanctuary, and strengthen us out of Zion;” (Psalm 20:2) This is the mountain which will fill the whole earth when the image of the kingdoms of this world are destroyed, according to the dream of Daniel 2. The message of John the baptist is to be repeated with added strength: “Repent ye, for the Kingdom of heaven is at hand.” (Matt. 3:2) The Papacy prevents the message of Elijah’s call to repentance, to prepare for the Kingdom of God, from coming to the people. He likewise prevents the people from coming to the glorious holy mountain.
Isaiah prophesying about the establishment of the glorious holy mountain, the true church, in the last days: “The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem. And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the LORD’S house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it. And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.”
(Isaiah 2:1-3)
This is not fleshly Judah, but the spiritual remnant; it is not earthly Jerusalem, but “the Jerusalem which is above” (Gal. 4:26) To this “all nations shall flow unto it”; but Satan knows this, and has devised many ways of seeking to prevent this loud cry message from being received by the people.
In planting his tabernacle where he can best obstruct the reception of the tidings of the east and north, he creates a wall preventing the “innumerable company of angels” from the Sanctuary to move upon the servants of God that they might bear there message. This is where the Satan’s grand design of the Fatima apparition reaches it’s climatic prophecy, of a most deceptive design. The apparition who claimed to be Mary, whom the Catholics regard as the god of strongholds, demanded the consecration of all opposing forces to her, and then Satan removed them from power to give people a sense that Mary was to be highly honored. A threefold prophecy of Fatima seemed to come to pass as spoken by the deceptive spirit, which laid the foundation for the purpose of what Satan was seeking to secure. It was having established devotion to Mary via the church reigning over the kings of the earth that she called for. Once this was secured, Satan knew the loud cry of the third angel’s message, which was built upon the two previous angels, was to go forward.
Listen carefully to the vision which was shown by the apparition to the three children of Fatima: “At the left of Our Lady (Mary) and a little above, we saw an Angel with a flaming sword in his left hand; flashing, it gave out flames that looked as though they would set the world on fire; but they died out in contact with the splendour that Our Lady radiated towards him from her right hand: pointing to the earth with his right hand, the Angel cried out in a loud voice: ‘Penance, Penance, Penance!'”
What a prophecy! How deeply deceptive! Satan puts out plainly the loud cry of the third angel, giving a threefold cry to repent. Holding a sword in it’s left hand, signifying disfavor of this institutional devotion representing Mary: the Catholic church. The angel is even shown as being of higher authority, yet is demonized by the apparition. The angel is symbolized by a sword of fire, setting the world on fire; a message of judgment. As it was said of the two witnesses during the dark ages, “And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed.”
(Revelation 11:5)

The testimony of the third angel, when resisted and rejected, sees judgments being poured out upon the land; yet when it is received, the message becomes as flaming tongues of fire amongst those to whom it is given. The Spirit of God is poured out and all who receive the message bear witness by pouring forth the straight truth.
Yet Satan speaks of the “arm” of Mary being raised, which is the state power. As “arms” would stand on the part of the Papacy (Dan. 11:31), even so Mary’s arm, through the kings of the earth, shall suppress the message of the third angel, and seek to quench it’s fearful warnings, and prevent it’s wonderful blessings. In the message, Satan, that old serpent that deceived our first-parents, designs that the Loud Cry of the Third Angel’s message shall be looked upon as a false message. Such is the nature of the great delusions that shall manifest themselves at the end; Fatima is only a sample of many such delusions which Satan has prepared against the holy testimony of God’s saints.
These delusions were not arbitrary permitted by God to come over the people that they might reject the truth. Rather, like the French Revolution was the natural outworking of Papal policy at it’s end, the natural result of accepting these delusions was because of rejecting the Bible in favor of the words of falsehoods preached from the pulpit.
Satan knew the Loud Cry was coming to turn people away from him to the true God. In every effort, he sought to keep the people in darkness, deceived, complacent, and indifferent. He designs that the ministers of the various denominations shall be honored as the Catholic church regards the Pope; that church creeds shall be as Papal bulls, subverting the need to study the Scriptures. It is assumed that every word from the minister, priest, pastors, and teachers should be regarded as supreme authorities on what constitutes truth, even when the Scriptures condemn his teaching and course of action.
In this hour, those who have not taken any pains to study their Bibles to recognize the truth and discern the deceptions become helpless. The over-confidence of ministers leads to them in “giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of devils” (1 Tim. 4:1) The acceptance of these ideas causes men to brace themselves to resist anything contrary to their preconceived ideas of truth; great blindness is upon the people. Few have made the genuine effort to throw off the darkness that they might understand the Scriptures for themselves in order to learn it’s meaning.
Adding further weight to his deceptions, because of the carelessness and indifference of the people, he is permitted to seal the deception as they receive the mark of the beast. These are prepared by the Arch-deceiver to be under delusions similar to Fatima: “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.”
(2 Thessalonians 2:11-13)
As the Papal church came under a strong delusion in Europe for the rejection of truth with the Fatima apparition, the fallen churches across the world shall meet with a similar delusion.
Satan will transform himself into an angel of light, professing to be Christ Himself. The apostles who have long been resting in their graves awaiting the resurrection at Christ’s return will seem to have visited from heaven, as Mary did, urging that Sunday sacredness was to be the correct order of heaven. We are told of this time in prophecy when the people will be under the delusion of seeking the dead as though they were alive: “And when they shall say to you, “Seek those who are mediums and wizards, who whisper and mutter”, should not the people seek their God? Should they seek the dead on behalf of the living? To the law and to the testimony. If they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.” (Isaiah 8:19-20)
This great hindrance, which Satan used in Fatima, was to the end that more souls would be lost. Gabriel was hindered from coming to Daniel by Satanic agency to give the understanding of the warfare of Daniel’s people that should take place. In like manner, Gabriel explains what befalls Daniel’s people in the latter days; but one of the most significant things is that the King of the north would seek to hinder the final proclamation that the kingdom of heaven is at hand. Nevertheless, the true light will shine, and all who are honest will take their stand with the remnant people of God, who keep His commandments, and have the Spirit of prophecy.
“But he shall come to his end, and none shall help him.” The King of the North should fall. Even this was portrayed in the vision of Fatima, but with the appearance that the fall of the Papal church would be a great evil to take place. On a pilgrimage to Fatima on May 13, 2010, Pope Benedict accurately stated: “He deceives himself who thinks that the prophetic mission of Fatima is concluded…there are indicated future realities of the Church which little by little are manifesting themselves… and therefore it is the sufferings of the Church which are announced.” The sufferings of the church are signified by it’s fall; but not only it’s fall, but also the fall of the ministers of every church which had acted a part in deceiving mankind to stand under the banner of Popery.
As it was related in the account of Fatima: “A Bishop (was) dressed in White ‘we had the impression that it was the Holy Father’. Other Bishops, Priests, men and women Religious going up a steep mountain, at the top of which there was a big Cross…before reaching there the Holy Father passed through a big city half in ruins and half trembling with halting step, afflicted with pain and sorrow, he prayed for the souls of the corpses he met on his way; having reached the top of the mountain…he was killed by a group of soldiers who fired bullets and arrows at him, and in the same way there died one after another the other Bishops, Priests, men and women Religious, and various lay people of different ranks and positions.”
The mission of the Papacy is to set itself “in the place of God”. This warfare inevitably leads many to be overthrown. The Scripture tells as regarding the top of the mountain: “Upon the top of the mountain the whole limit thereof round about shall be most holy.” (Ezekiel 43:12) The slain that the Pope was responsible for reached unto heaven, even the Most Holy place. Then the destruction of the apostate churches represented in the Scripture are shown.
Of Joseph, it is said: “Seek the LORD, and ye shall live; lest he break out like fire in the house of Joseph, and devour it, and there be none to quench it in Bethel.”
(Amos 5:6)

Of the little horn, it is said: “I beheld then because of the voice of the great words which the horn spake: I beheld even till the beast was slain, and his body destroyed, and given to the burning flame.”
(Daniel 7:11)

Of the Harlot who commits fornication with the kings of the earth, it is said: “And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire. For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.”
(Revelation 17:16-17)

The end of the King of the north is grievously foretold to occur at the sign of the coming of the Son of God, coming in the clouds of heaven.

“Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all the tribes of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.”
(Revelation 1:7)

With this end, we are carried into it’s continuation of chapter 12. The warfare “was long” for Israel; the deceptions were great; the enemies vigilant to overthrow the children of God, yet God has ever had a people to bear witness to the truth on the earth, and His truth will triumph gloriously, redeem wonderfully, and establish us eternally. In this warfare, though it be a most piercing cross, be faithful at all costs and thou shalt receive a crown of life. The sufferings, privations, trials, and sacrifices “are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.” Then we shall recount all that we suffered in these few short years, and say together with all of the saints, “Heaven is cheap enough!”

Lastly, one final point may suffice to show that the glorious land spoken of here is the United States. “I have come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land unto a good land and a large, unto a land flowing with milk and honey.” (Exodus 3:8) In fact, the Scripture indicates that “the land…flowing with milk and honey” is “the glory of all lands” (Ezekiel 20:6,15) Thus it was that Jerusalem was blessed with great prosperity for upholding and protecting the principles of the law, even as the United States in a like-manner was to guard His commandment-keeping people free from oppression. Again and again, we may demonstrate that the glorious land is the United States of America, wonderfully paralleling the history the inheritance of the land of Canaan.

PAPAL ENTRANCE INTO AMERICA

In connection with the Papacy entering “like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships”, the Papal power enters into the glorious land of America. It is evident that the Papacy has done this in a variety of ways, as was spoken of in the last section; through the Jesuit order, through diplomatic ties, and also through the alliance of the United States with the Pope in bringing down the southern power of athiestic communism in Russia. But a greater manifestation of the Papal power takes place.
We are told by Christ “when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth understand,) then let them that be in Judaea flee to the mountains:”
(Mark 13:14)
This prophecy had been twice fulfilled. What is the abomination that makes desolate? It is the sign signifying the desolation of God’s presence, for it says in Daniel 9:27, “for the overspreading of abominations, he shall make it desolate.” When Christ declared the seemingly innumerable sins, against the privileges and opportunities conferred upon the chosen people in Matthew 23, He departed from the temple, declaring, “Behold, your house is left unto you desolate…and Jesus went out, and departed from the temple.” (Matthew 23:38,41) He then declared how the glorious land would be surrounded by armies and that the temple would be overthrown that “there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down”; Roman standards would be erected symbolizing that the restraining presence of God was removed. This was the sure result of apostasy.
In like manner, when for 360 years, the church imagined herself to be in league with the emperor for the furtherance of the Christian faith, these designs were fulfilled under the conversion of Clovis to Roman Catholicism and Justinian’s siege against Christians. Speaking of how these kings would stand for the Papal power, the Scripture declares that “arms shall stand on his (the Papacy’s) part, and they shall pollute the sanctuary of strength, and shall take away the daily, and they shall place the abomination that maketh desolate.” State power and armies exercised the authority of an apostate church which had cast the law of God behind it’s back, and declared itself to sit on the seat of divine authority as the “vicar of Christ”, possessing authority over the kings of the earth, and thereby justifying the enforcement of apostasy, and “made war with the saints and prevailed against them” (Daniel 7:21).
By professing to honor the blood of the Lamb of God, he professed the faith of the heavenly Sanctuary, which is Christianity. But by professing this blood, but continuing to practice abomination and forcing the saints of God to do likewise, and sin against God and conscience, they “pollute the sanctuary of strength”. Thus, paganism literally surrounded the glorious land of Jerusalem for three and a half years, and being forewarned for seven years beforehand. Papalism then erected pagan Christianity and with armies, spiritually surrounded the saints who represented the kingdom of heaven “Jerusalem above” and it’s sanctuary for three and a half prophetic years, of which the oppression began seven prophetic years beforehand.
Yet what do we have in America? Both Papalism and an entering into of the glorious land is especially noted in the Scripture of truth. Such a sign witnessed within America as this must necessarily be a great “whirlwind” prophetic event signifying some startling herald of judgment for “the glory of all lands.” As America signifies the land of restored inheritance to the northern kingdoms of Israel, what sign could be more startling than “the King of the North” arising to “stand where it ought not” in the northern kingdom of spiritual Israel?
And such an event would have to excel diplomacy between two executive offices of country, or United States presidents visiting the Vatican, or anything that has previously been revealed.

SIGNS IN THE HEAVENS

The Scripture tells us before the return of Christ, great signs in the heavens shall be witnessed: “And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood and fire, and pillars of smoke. The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come.”
(Joel 2:30-31)

THE PAPAL JESUIT

In the years 2014 and 2015, these things took on a more striking significance upon the sacred feast days of the calendar which God ordained at creation. Four blood moons, called a tetrad, fell upon the holy sabbath times of the Spring and Fall feasts marked out in the Scriptures. In between the years, on the vernal equinox of March 20th, 2015, called the revolution (of the sun) in the Scriptures, marked the new year of the Biblical calendar. On this date, a solar eclipse occurred, foretelling a great event was to occur within that year. While 2014 and 2015 had many events which brought a great prophetic shift, the larger significance was to occur near the end of the year 2015, when the Jesuit Pope would visit America.
Some of the stronger quotes exposing the Jesuit order were in the context of their relation to the United States and it’s form of government. French statesmen and general Marquis de LaFayette said “It is my opinion that if the liberties of this country – the United States of America – are destroyed, it will be by the subtlety of the Roman Catholic Jesuit priests, for they are the most crafty, dangerous enemies to civil and religious liberty. They have instigated most of the wars of Europe.” So aware of the dangers of the Jesuits (whose society had been restored by a Papal bull in 1814), the second president of the United States wrote a four-volume history on them, exposing them and citing many quotations from “unquestionable authorities.” John Adams, in his letter to Thomas Jefferson, said “I do not like the appearance of the Jesuits. If ever there was a body of men who merited eternal damnation on earth and in hell, it is this Society…Nevertheless, we are compelled by our system of religious toleration to offer them an asylum but if they do not put our elections to the test, it would be a wonder.” In response, Jefferson, who became the third president of the United States responded “Like you, I dislike their restoration; because it marks a retrograde step from light to darkness.” And in a more prophetic irony, Abraham Lincoln said “I do not pretend to be a prophet. But though not a prophet, I see a very dark cloud on our horizon. And that dark cloud is coming from Rome. It is filled with tears of blood. It will rise and increase till its flanks will be torn by a flash of lightning, followed by a fearful peal of thunder. Then a cyclone, such as the world has never seen, will pass over this country, spreading ruin and desolation from north to south… Neither I nor you, but our children, will see those things.”
America was not ignorant of the devices of the Jesuit Order. More startling was the accuracy with which President Lincoln spoke. It was when the Pope resigned in 2013 that a flash of lightning struck the Vatican, and was reported throughout the world. Next followed the election of the first Jesuit Pope. Then his entry into America like a “whirlwind” in the season of the final blood moon of 2015 as a sign of “the abomination of desolation” in “the north” until it reaches “the south”. One would think that the president had read Daniel 11’s final verses with a distinct understanding of the events which were to take place.
How exactly did he come in to the United States? The largest news channels and publishers worldwide worded it in a manner readily apparent to all: Fox News and CNN reported of “Pope Francis’ whirlwind tour through…the United States begins Saturday, September 19th” Then CBS: “Pope Francis’ whirlwind tour of New York City came to an end…”; “Pontiff endears himself to the world in global whirlwind tour”, New York times called it his “whirlwind United States tour”, and Time Magazine titled it “his whirlwind tour of the U.S.”, while Wallstreet Journal also called it “a Whirlwind Tour”.
The Jesuit Pope came into America “like a whirlwind” from September 23-25th meeting with the president of the Executive branch of government on the first day, whose duty is to enforce the laws of the land. The following day, he addressed a joint-session of the Legislative branch of the United States Congress, where the laws of the land are presented and passed. And in the final day, he addressed the largest assembly of countries ever gathered together in common cause at the United Nations.

THE DAY OF JUDGMENT

Of these three events, all significant, the last two were the most notable. The reason for this is that the Most High God does nothing of significance unless it is clearly and evidently revealed to His people beforehand. While the final blood moon was about a week away, the divinely appointed calendar has a day before it’s Fall festival signifying the judgment fell the very next day, called “The Day of atonement”.
In Daniel 8, we saw that Christ as our High Priest has entered into the work of judgment, where “the judgment was set, and the books were opened” in 1844 on the Day of atonement, October 22, 1844. The prophetic Day of Atonement was called in the Scriptures “the Hour of His judgment” (Revelation 14:6). Anciently, it was understood that if a man did not repent of the sins which he committed in the past year, the blood of the atonement would not benefit him, and he was counted as “cut off from amongst his people”, not receiving the mercy of God, and was regarded as being blotted out of the book of life in heaven. If he died before this time, his case was still pending on the Day of atonement, where mercy was executed in a definite manner for all for the sins committed in the past year. Likewise, in the antitype, Christ went into the Holy of holies and began the judgment on the dead who had faith in His blood, having repented of their sins and died in faith. Holy angels were to be witnesses of the books, that they might see the justice in who God was to bring into the heavenly courts at the resurrection from the dead. But more significantly, after the cases of the dead were brought into review before the heavenly host, the judgment of the living was to take place. Nations, like the nations of old of Sodom and Gomorrah, would go into review to determine their cases.

“Standing where he ought not”, Day of Judgment, 2015

Thus, it was the Day of judgment that the Pope stood in the Legislative branch of the United States to address the representatives of the nation who frame the laws. Startling scene! The King of the North addressing the State power of the northern kingdom of Israel on such a prophetically significant day! It is that same King of the North that apostatized from the truth; which “thinks to change [the Most High’s] times and laws” (Dan. 7:25), which honors Sunday, blasphemed the name of God, claims to sit on the throne of Christ, venerates dead saints, and puts to death the living saints of God! This authority of the Papacy has never been renounced; as we see by her vigorous efforts to regain state power. It was to escape this oppressive doctrine of the Papal temporal power (wielding political authority) that the United States was raised up!
But the Scripture foretells that “the deadly wound was healed, and all the world wondered after the beast”. This includes the Lamblike beast, who arose after the Papal power was slain by the sword and went into captivity (Rev. 13:10-11). Of this kingdom, the Scripture tells us “And he exercises all the power of the first beast before him, and causes the earth and all that dwell therein to worship the first beast (the Papal power) whose deadly wound was healed.” (Rev. 13:13) We are told that America, the glorious land, would especially honor the Papacy after his power was restored. After the King of the south was put down to a large degree in communism, the secular power of athiesm’s hold was beginning to unravel, as the Papal king of the north grew progressively stronger.
Yet how could America commit such treason to go against it’s lamblike principles of independence and freedom from priestly intolerance and kingly oppression? Because it has forgotten what the Papacy, and the Jesuits most notably, have always stood for. America was called the “glorious land” because it was a haven for the church to dwell in the land safely at “the time of the end”. It was Protestantism which mapped out the course against priestly intolerance and kingly oppression in Europe, paving the way for liberty of conscience in the United States. James Madison, known as “the Father of the Constitution”, made reference to this from Luther’s doctrine of the two kingdoms requiring separation, church and state, claiming this as America’s system of government. “It illustrates the excellence of a system which, by a due distinction, to which the genius and courage of Luther led the way, between what is due to Caesar and what is due God, best promotes the discharge of both obligations. The experience of the United States is a happy disproof of the error so long rooted in the unenlightened minds of well-meaning Christians, as well as in the corrupt hearts of persecuting usurpers, that without a legal incorporation of religious and civil polity, neither could be supported. A mutual independence is found most friendly to practical Religion, to social harmony, and to political prosperity.” (J. Madison to F.L. Schaeffer, 1821) Thus, the lamblike principles are principles of Protestantism.

KING OF THE NORTHERN TRIBES

It needs to be mentioned that those who had inherited the land of America consisted of the spiritual ten tribes of Israel; it also should be mentioned that although this is spiritual Israel, this is who God has called them to be if they walk in His covenant; so long as there is rebellion, God cannot bless the people, but calls them to recognize their identity. It was professed Christianity which had the glorious honors of receiving the land, not excepting the members of the Roman Catholic church. But it was Protestantism chiefly which erected a standard of freedom and independance. The Reformation church, as noted in the last article, was called the “Sardis” era. The great fault with these churches were there violent rejection and scoffing at the 1844 message of the Day of atonement after proclaiming the date of 1844 but misunderstanding the event which Scripture said was to occur was “the Sanctuary will be cleansed” which they mistakenly believed would be the return of Christ. Christ therefore, called the Protestant churches to repent of there casting off of 1844, or else a great woe would result: “Remember therefore how you have received and heard and hold fast, and repent. If therefore you shall not watch, I will come on you as a thief, and you shall not know what hour I will come upon you.” (Rev. 3:3) They had rejected “the hour of His judgment”, which would cause them to lose sight of the preparation necessary for the coming of Christ, so that they would “not know what hour” His appearing would be. These churches, like the ten tribes who were ennumerated with Jeroboam, a son of Joseph, who was made their king, were ennumerated with the Papacy. Unlike the immediate reign of Jeroboam over the ten tribes, the natural outworkings of rejecting light from heaven would manifest itself in the various churches. Worldliness entered, false doctrine and prophecy with determined efforts to justify it’s inherited heathen doctrines from the Bible, and spiritual manifestations, bringing chaos and confusion, making the church a habitation of demons. It was the anniversary of this event that was carried in the America’s bosom September 24th, 2015. But that these events are connected, 1844 and 2015 in respect to the judgment hour, and what the rejection of the first leads to in respect to the other will be the burden of the next few points to be made.
After the first blood moon in 2014, all of this departure from the Spirit of truth came to it’s logical end. At the Kenneth Copeland Leadership Conference, a message came that was met with eager attention from all, and caused waves in Protestantism, heralding it’s dissolution into the trashheap of history as far as these church leaders were concerned. Anglican Bishop Tony Palmer had claimed to come “in the Spirit of Elijah” to turn the hearts of the churches back to Catholicism, and away from Protestantism. Then, with cheers from the leaders representing large congregations, he declared “Luther’s protest is over. And if Luther’s protest is over, how can there be a Protestant church? Maybe now we are all Catholics again!…The protest is over…”. It happened that the Anglican bishop made a connection between Kenneth Copeland and Pope Francis, who he knew before he was Pope, and brought to the leadership conference a video appeal from the Pope for unity as a family of Israel. He then likened himself to Joseph, who was sold by his brothers into Egyptian captivity. Yet the analogy is strikingly right, with spiritual Egypt being the king of the south, and going into captivity. “Families who come together and families who separate themselves. We are kind of…separated. I am nostalgic (yearning), that this separation comes to an end and gives us communion that the Holy Scripture speaks of when Joseph’s brothers began to starve from hunger. They went to Egypt, to buy, so that they could eat. They went to buy. They had money. But they couldn’t eat the money. But there, they found something more than food, they found their brother… We must cry together like Joseph did. These tears will unite us…”
To like the Roman Catholics to the tribe of Joseph in the ten tribes of Israel is not just a coincidental parallel as we will see more shortly. It was Joseph who was counted as having the rights of the firstborn amongst the northern tribes of Israel. “And they shall divide it into seven parts: Judah shall abide in their coast on the south, and the house of Joseph shall abide in their coasts on the north.”
(Joshua 18:5)
“Now the sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel, (for he was the firstborn; but, forasmuch as he defiled his father’s bed, his birthright was given unto the sons of Joseph the son of Israel: and the genealogy is not to be reckoned after the birthright. For Judah prevailed above his brethren, and of him came the chief ruler; but the birthright was Joseph’s:) ”
(1 Chronicles 5:1-2)

From Judah would come “the Chief Ruler”, the Lion of the Tribe of Judah: the Messiah who would reign over Israel. But Joseph received the pre-eminence, and was counted as the eldest and first amongst the tribes. As such, it was in Judah that the king of Judah, David, would reign on the throne that Messiah will one day reign upon. But when the southern and northern kingdom was divided because of apostasy, it was to Joseph’s seed, Ephraim, that Jeroboam was made king over the ten tribes until they were dispersed for rejecting the prophets.

RENOUNCING THE PROTEST AGAINST THE NORTHERN KING

When it was said by the Anglican bishop “The protest is over…” it was a call to unite with Joseph in Egypt as one Catholic family of tribes, where Joseph would inevitably be the head. This success swept the Protestant community, and many began to renounce Protestantism for the defacto unity with the Pope. However, to renounce the protest is to renounce the principles for which the protest stands. To unite with Catholicism is to consent to her abuses as amenable. Protestantism renounced is religious freedom renounced. Catholicism consented to leads to kingly oppression resurrected. In 2014, just after the first blood moon, the spiritual northern tribes of Israel honored the king of the north, a spiritual Jeroboam, and in 2015, just before the last blood moon, the glorious land, called the lamblike beast, honored the first beast before it.
Protestant America ushered in the Papal power, signalling the apostasy in spiritual Israel, and signifying the abomination of desolation in America. The Pope stood where it ought not, in a Protestant government; and received with great favor, to such an extent as to affect the legislators of the United States. That this took place on the Day of atonement, the anniversary of 1844 is not at all a coincidence; for one signifies the beginning of the judgment of the dead, and the other indicates that America, the glorious land, has come to the bar of judgment in the heavenly courts.
From this point forward in the prophecy of Daniel 11, classified under the King of the north’s power is apostate Protestantism. The power that the Papal Northern King exercised in Europe, his principles shall be honored and exercised by the Protestant northern tribes in America; while America is the glorious land, when it fails to walk in it’s glory, the lamblike features which gave it prosperity and power shall cease, and this development of national apostasy will wax stronger until it leads to national ruin, as with Jerusalem of old.
The era of spiritual Jeroboam as king over Israel has, since 2014-2015 has effectually begun, and waxed stronger amongst the churches. Like when Clovis was converted to Catholicism, and soon after made war, henceforth, rapid events begin to fulfill, bringing the Papal power back to political supremacy, the Protestant denominations renouncing the protest and embracing Catholicism, and Protestantism uniting with America in exercising state power. Such is the results when the restraining power of Christ’s Spirit is removed from the hearts of the rejectors of His mercy and truth.
“…these shall escape out of his hand, even Edom, and Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon.” The Northern king shall not extend his hand over all the nations in this kingly (and apostate) inheritance. When the tribes came into the glorious land of Canaan (Jerusalem and it’s surrounding cities), Moses instructed them that they were not to touch three countries which were not given them to inherit. “And command thou the people, saying, Ye are to pass through the coast of your brethren the children of Esau (Edomites), which dwell in Seir; and they shall be afraid of you: take ye good heed unto yourselves therefore: Meddle not with them; for I will not give you of their land, no, not so much as a foot breadth; because I have given mount Seir unto Esau for a possession…distress not the Moabites, neither contend with them in battle: for I will not give thee of their land for a possession; because I have given Ar unto the children of Lot for a possession…nd when thou comest nigh over against the children of Ammon, distress them not, nor meddle with them: for I will not give thee of the land of the children of Ammon any possession; because I have given it unto the children of Lot for a possession. ” (Deuteronomy 2:4-5,9,19 )

When the King of the north is taking possession of the lands, and chiefly the glorious land of America in his conquest to have all under his apostate banner, some countries, whose cup of iniquity is not full before the Lord (Gen. 15:16), shall be as “cities of refuge” which the Lord Himself shall choose to disclose at their proper times to the saints. It was only when iniquity was full that the country was delivered into the hands of the possessors. Even so, in Daniel 8:23-25, we’re told, “And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce counterance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up (reign). And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power: and he shall destroy wonderfully and shall prosper and practice, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people. And through his policy (law) also he shall cause devices to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many…”

JOSEPH’S POWER OVER EGYPT THAT NO MAN MIGHT BUY OR SELL

In like manner, the Papal king shall overtake young and old, free and bound, rich and poor of the most secular countries, and they shall not escape. Though, like with France and Russia, there is resistance, the sword of the Papal power will demand conformity to the apostate religion of Catholic and Protestant alike or killed. Egypt shall give “power over the treasures of gold and of silver, and over all the precious things”; Egypt, while it denotes prophetically the atheistic/communistic/secular powers who are enemies of the cross of Christ, the prophetic identity of the Pharaoh according to Scripture is even more striking. “Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, Pharaoh king of Egypt, the great dragon that lies in the midst of his rivers, which has said, My river is mine, and I’ve made it for myself.” (Ezekiel 29:3) The Pharaoh is called “the great dragon”; prophetically the book of Revelation speaks of the dragon in two ways: (1) Satan and his fallen angels **Revelation 12:9. (2) The kingdoms under Satan’s explicit control to do his bidding on the earth.
Thus it was that the Papal beast who received the deadly wound in 1798 had received “his power, and his seat, and great authority” from the dragon. (Revelation 13:2) Thus symbolizing how Empirical Rome gave the Roman state to be under the control of the Papacy, the king of the north in 538AD.
But now, it’s wound is healed, and the entire world on the side of the Papacy, Protestants included, the dragon shall yield to the apostate power, and give full reigns over the economy of buying and selling.
This also happened in Egypt. A great famine came into the land and only in Egypt could bread be found because of the foreknowledge of Joseph regarding the famine. “And when all the land of Egypt was famished, the people cried to Pharaoh for bread: and Pharaoh said unto all the Egyptians, Go unto Joseph; what he says to you, that do…And Joseph opened all the storehouses, and sold unto the Egyptians; and the famine waxed sore in the land of Egypt. And all countries came into Egypt to Joseph for to buy…” (Gen. 41:55-57) Joseph was given power over all the economy of Egypt. To receive bread, you had to buy from him.
And the Jesuit Pope likened himself to Joseph, which prophetically is exactly what he represents; the apostate tribe of Joseph. As Joseph had married the daughter of a heathen priest, even so, the early Christian church married itself to paganism, imbibing it’s customs and idols under a profession of Christianity. As Joseph was sold by his brothers; so the other Protestant churches sought to cast off unbiblical Papal policy. And as Joseph went into the southern country of Egypt as captive. The Papal power was prophesied to “go into captivity” under the king of the south, spiritual Egypt.

A BETTER GLORIOUS LAND: THE FINAL DELIVERANCE

And lastly, as Joseph foreknew by the revelation of God, does not the Jesuit Pope know the devices which the Jesuits have long laid out to catch the world in it’s snare? This being led into Egypt led to the Israelites going into Egyptian captivity from which they needed to be delivered to go to the glorious land, Canaan. This happened to Europe in the oppression of the Papacy, from which they needed to be delivered to go to the glorious land, America. But when America begins to follow the course of old Europe in exercising the oppressive power of the Papacy, a new deliverance of God’s people will be required; a calling out from the northern kingdoms shall take place on a worldwide scale that we may enter into the glorious land in heavenly places, the place prepared for us by God, “a city…whose Builder and Maker is God” (Heb. 11:10)
Likewise, the son of Joseph, being Jeroboam, had the kingship over the ten tribes, the Papal priesthood has authority over the churches. “And Jeroboam ordained a feast in the eighth month, on the fifteenth day of the month, like unto the feast that is in Judah, and he offered upon the altar…even in the month which he had devised of his own heart, and ordained a feast unto the children of Israel.” (1 Kings 12:32-33) Jeroboam had it in his heart to “think to change times and laws” and had authority to “ordain a feast” for all of Israel to observe on the month after “the feast that is in Judah” on the seventh month. The Papal power has clearly changed the divine calendar, and the appointed times of worship ordained in creation and redemption by Jehovah. Specifically, he has set aside the seventh-day Sabbath, and commands the Christian world to observe Sunday, the day after the Sabbath, the first day of the week.
This law of spiritual Jeroboam, of Joseph, will be made compulsory by the apostate “tribes of Israel” for any who would buy or sell.

THE FINAL SCENES ARE RAPIDLY FULFILLING

The once-glorious land of America is even now under the influence of apostate Protestantism under the presidency of Donald J. Trump. These “faith advisors” to the president seem to have no trouble in exercising the authority of the church over the state, and thereby utilizing the state power to their own ends. Of America’s authority being exercised, the lamblike beast will “speak as a dragon”, as Pharoah, “saying to them that dwell on the earth that they should make image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.” (Rev. 13:14) Thus, they will make an image to the Papal beast, whose deadly wound was healed, of church & state union. Thus does it speak as a dragon; the lamblike church will utilize dragonlike force under the threat of no longer being able to buy or sell, which is the very authority under the King of the north. “And he (Apostate-Protestant America) 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.”
(Revelation 13:16-17)
As spiritual Egypt confers this honor upon the Papal King of the north, every other country shall follow in the steps of Egypt; it is thus that “the Libyans and the Ethiopians shall be at his steps.”

THE KING OF THE SOUTH & THE TWO WITNESSES

“And at the time of the end shall the king of the south push at him” signifies the heavy aggression forced upon the Papacy. At the end of the “many days” which the Scripture signified the Papal reign to occur. According to the explanation given in Daniel 12, from the time of verse 31 until 39 there would be 1290 prophetic days (1290 years). This began with France in 508 AD, and would expired in 1798 AD.

France has been called “the eldest daughter of the Catholic church” for her involvement in raising the Papal king of the north to new heights. Only 30 years later, 1260 years remaining in the Papal reign, and the king of the north had control over all of Europe. This period is referred to as forty-two months in the Scripture in Revelation 11:2 (42×30=1260). In Revelation 11, during this time, it speaks of the “two witnesses” of the Lord. Many privately interpret these verses to mean some obscure figure at the end of time, but Scriptural evidence explains itself so we needn’t privately interpret anything. These “two witnesses” are declared to be “the two candlesticks” who give testimony during this parcel of prophetic time during Papal rule.
Who are the “two candlesticks”? They are two of the “seven candlesticks which…are the seven churches.” (Rev. 1:20) These seven churches represent seven church eras; two of these church movements, as explained in the previous verses of Daniel 11, existed in this time. Thyatira (The Waldensian/Wilderness church) and Sardis (The Reformation/Protestant church). These “candlesticks” receive their oil, signified by the Spirit of God, from the two olive trees of Revelation 11, which are the Scriptures of the old and new testament. Both the Wilderness church and the Reformation church gave their respective testimonies. The Waldenses upheld the commandments of God, and the faith once delivered to the saints as inherited from the apostles. The Reformation church called to account various phases of compromise which the Catholic church had made down the centuries. But it says “when they shall have finished their testimony”, a power called in Scripture “the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit” would arise to make war against them, to overcome them, and kill them; yet not only them, but would fight against the king of the north.
This power that arises “spiritually is called…Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.” (Rev. 11:8) Anciently, the king of the south had been associated with the Ptolemaic reign in Egypt, being south of the chosen people; whereas Seleucus was in the northern regions of Jerusalem, where Assyria and Babylon were located. When probation closed for the city and sanctuary of the Jews for rejecting the Messiah, the faithful among them who embraced the Messiah were “scattered abroad”, and “went every where preaching the Word.” (Acts 8:1-4) The message was received by the Gentiles, and from that point on, the blessing took on a spiritual significance, rather than a physical locality. This, this power that arose at the end of the two witnesses’ testimony would be the defining principle for the king of the south, called spiritual Egypt. Who was this power that made war with the witnesses of God on the earth and the Papacy at the end of the 1260 years? It was the principle of secularism/atheism begun by the French revolution.

THE PRINCIPLES OF EGYPT

It was the policy of the Catholic church, under the profession of reverence for the Scriptures, to secure it by translating it into an unknown tongue. By this means, darkness filled the earth, and a man-made interpretation was placed upon the Scriptures. The power of atheism which arose made explicit it’s war against the Scriptures. Speaking of these witnesses, who signified the church and the Scriptures, we are told that “their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city…Egypt…they of the people, kindreds, tongues, and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and a half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves.” (Rev. 11:9) For three and a half prophetic days, the French revolution in France violently shed the blood of both saints and papists alike in it’s war against religion.
The principle of atheism finds a fitting symbol in Egypt, whose Pharaoh boldly denied the existence of the God of heaven. The Pharaoh, when answering Moses brought to him the Word of God, answered him, “Who is Jehovah, that I should hearken to His voice to let Israel go? I know not Jehovah, and moreover, I will not let Israel go.” (Exodus 5:2) The repeated manifestations of power by the God of heaven were rebelled against, and the Pharaoh hardened his heart against the God of heaven where He had given the most decided evidence of His revelation. Even so, Atheism (which means “Without God” in the Greek) was building upon the same principles which the Pharaoh, Amenhotep II, had built upon.
It is said of the Revolution that “France is the only nation in the world concerning which the authentic record survives, that as a nation she lifted her hand in open rebellion against the Author of the universe. Plenty of blasphemers, plenty of infidels, there have been, and still continue to be, in England, Germany, Spain, and elsewhere; but France stands apart in the world’s history as the single state which, by the decree of her Legislative Assembly, pronounced that there was no God, and of which the entire population of the capital, and a vast majority elsewhere, women as well as men, danced and sang with joy in accepting the announcement.” (Blackwood’s Magazine, November, 1870) Bibles were burned, reason was made supreme, and blood washed down the streets of France.
Yet in all of this, it was the policy of the Papal power that had begun the work which atheism was completing. This may be evidenced by the very foundation the Papal power was building upon from Daniel 11:36-39. The principles of doing “according to his will”, “exalting himself, and magnify himself above every god”, speaking “marvelous things against the God of gods”, not having a regard for any god, and magnifying himself above everything, in disregard to the law of God and casting aside the plain utterances of Scripture, and even burning the Scriptures of the Protestants, translated into the common tongue of the people; these were the principles hewn out by 360 years of apostasy, especially marked out by France, where the sword of persecution was first unsheathed by Clovis and his army. It was this, and the centuries in which these principles were fiercely defended and strengthened that led to their logical end, which was necessarily atheism.
The Scripture declares regarding these two witnesses that “if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed.” The example of persecution which the priests in France had exhibited for so many ages was now returned upon them with signal vigor. The scaffolds ran red with the blood of the priests. The galleys and the prisons, once crowded with Huguenots (French Protestants), were now filled with their persecutors. Chained to the bench and toiling at the oar, the Roman Catholic clergy experienced all those woes which their church had so freely inflicted on the saints.
It was this which led to the conclusion of the matter. In 1798, “the king of the south shall push at him”, the Papal king of the north. Napoleon’s general, Louis-Alexandre Berthier took Pope Pius VI captive, thereby putting an end to the political influences the church had once exercised over the kings of the earth; this event in prophecy is called “the deadly wound” (click here for more information). This push signified “the time of the end”. From this time forward, secularism and atheism would slowly gain it’s ascendency, and be the primary force at-hand to keep the Pope’s authority from being restored.

THE TIME OF THE END

As this date of 1798 is the expiry of the seven times of judgment upon Israel, which began in 722 through the king of Assyria, where paganism reigned for 1260 years, and papalism reigned for 1260 years. This time of kingly dominion over the church because of breaking the everlasting covenant was now at it’s end. The reformation church (Sardis), being the primary church in existence at this time, became heir to the calling of spiritual Israel: the ten tribes. “The time of the end” referred to here does not speak specifically to the end of the age, but rather Gabriel is here speaking to Daniel of what should “befall thy people in the latter days” due to the captivity (Daniel 11:14). As such, it is the time of the end of the captivity of the ten tribes. These ten tribes identity, being spiritually identified, therefore may be found in the people that upheld the Scriptures who existed from 1798 onward.

COMMUNISM: THE KING OF THE SOUTH

Then came the next development when Karl Marx pushed the ideology of communism from 1843-1848. From 1837-1843, Charles Darwin would begin to formalize and develop his theory of natural selection; and in 1844, the theory of evolution was presented by Charles Darwin in his book “The Origin of Species”. It was not long after this that the Papal power, being confined to the Vatican, would lose even the Vatican in 1870 through a growing push for secularism in Italy. All of these were hewn out to develop the spiritual Egypt that has pushed so aggressively against the Papacy to keep it’s power from reviving. Yet as the ancient kings of the north and south had oppressive measures enacted against the people of God, who were caught in the midst of the struggle, even so, the secularism has made efforts to restrain freedom of speech, remove individual religion from the governmental sector, banning an individual’s observance of their faith in a scholastic setting, and even reprimand the mentioning of the Bible until the people of God have felt the need to restrain the expression of their faith, that they might “not give what is holy to dogs…lest they…turn, and tear you to pieces.” (Matt. 7:6) The mere mention of God was Christ, stirring up the natural enmity in the carnal heart, is despised. Every advanced step from this secular power has manifested more oppressive and restrictive measures against God’s people, and the people of faith generally.
These oppressive principles became enshrined in several countries of the world; one of the most notable ones being the Soviet Union. It was in Russia that a communistic form of pushed itself onto the world stage, beginning in 1917. It waxed strong in the spirit of Egypt, taking over a signifant part of eastern European territory where once the Papacy had reigned, as well as part of eastern of Asia. For these reasons, the pushing at the king of the north maintained it’s strength to a considerably large extent.

THE PUSH: THE KING OF THE NORTH

Yet the tide would turn upon the south. We’re told that “the king of the north shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter into the countries, and shall overflow and pass over.” How would the northern king, the Papacy, come against the south? In many ways, over a gradual progression of time and events which took place establishing papal favor, and a gradual shattering of the iron shackles of the arm of atheism would take place.
In Pope Pius IX’s 1864 Syllabus of Errors, he condemned the growing secular nature of Italy, excommunicating the king of Italy, and directly ordered Catholics to abstain from participation in the political involvement and voting of the “godless” Italian state. He had already condemned more than eighty “errors and perverse doctrines” including separation of church and state, a free press and secular education. Taking in much more than the Vatican, the Papal states were dissolved, and Pius IX was made a prisoner of the Vatican, holding out the territory by refusing to allow the small portion of land to be seized from him; though Italy no longer recognized the Pope’s former title of “King of Rome”.
In 1929, in hopes of dissolving the Catholic Italian Popular Party in parliament, a negiotiation was made between Benito Mussolini and Pius XI. An agreement was made to restore diplomatic authority to the Pope, securing the Vatican as independant from the Kingdom of Italy on condition that Piux XI ordered the dissolution of the Catholic parliamentary party in Italy. The Pope agreed, and would set up an Absolute monarchial theocracy at the Vatican. The agreement signed at the Lateran palace in Rome, called the Lateran Treaty, was signed in February 11th, 1929, “in the name of the Most Holy Trinity”; hearkening back to the old Nicene Creed of the days of Constantine. Roman Catholicism was not only to be the ruling power of the Vatican, but also was the church of Italy. By this agreement, the holidays of the church were enforced throughout Italy, churches were fined, and in some cases, shut down altogether from operation. It was not uncommon to see the Pope making demands of Mussolini to gain a stronger hold over Italy.
In a large measure, this was how the king of the north would “enter into the countries, and pass over, and overflow.” Through these diplomatic relations, the Pope had ties with 27 nations in 1929 and in 2017 this number grew to 183. These relations resulted in meetings of the various heads of states across the world with the Pope as the sovereign of the Vatican. Thus, the king of the North makes his voice heard in over half of the countries in the world. While some firm diplomatic immunities exist in Italy for the Pope, the church’s authority over the Italian state was dissolved in the 1980’s, as it’s ties in world affairs became immeasurably strong.

THE THREE-STEP NORTHERN DELUSION

In the land where the few remaining Visigoths had occupied, they renounced their non-trinitarian position, and gradually embraced the Catholic faith, with it’s Trinitarianism. The land was named Portugal. In the countries that had the greatest opportunities, the curse of God would be more readily felt; a marked judgment felt across Europe struck the heart of Portugal, known as the Lisbon earthquake of 1755. Portugal’s people, with their privileges and opportunities having been slighted, were to be given over to Satan’s delusions in a marked manner.
The sign of satanic manifestation occurred in 1916-1917. Three young shepherd girls were visited by Satan, “transformed into an angel of light” (2 Cor. 11:14) three times. The angel was described as “A light whiter than snow in the form of a young man, transparent and brighter than crystal, pierced by the rays of the sun.” He knelt with the children and showed them how they ought to pray “Most Holy Trinity…And, through the infinite merits of… the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I beg of You the conversion of poor sinners.” Both the Trinity and the worship of Mary would be bound up together as mentioned in the explanation of verses 36-39. Yet Mary is known as the one who the Catholics consecrate lands to; she is the god of strongholds. Yet after this, a more striking and more subtle delusion takes place after the third time the angelic visitation takes place, laying the foundation of a sweeping endtime delusion in fulfillment of prophecy regarding “the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders…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.”(2 Thessalonians 2:9-12)

In Fatima, Portugal in 1917, the same year that communist Russia arose, an apparition claiming to be the Virgin Mary appeared to the three children. Then this satanic apparition declares a message that she is greatly concerned about the separation of souls from God through atheism, agnosticism, political or economic systems that have denied God, and through various systems of doctrine and dogma. She then proceeds to give three prophesies, called “the secrets of Fatima”, that were “what is needed for the turning point…the turning point in world history.”
What turning point in world history? The restoration of the Papal supremacy on the earth as the King of the North, and overthrowing the King of the South. The apparition spoke of three events which would inevitably work in favor of Catholicism, and spoke of a sign which would be fulfilled in October. At this, over 70,000 people came to Fatima, where it seemed that the “sun danced”, beginning to spin and tremble for ten minutes, and “everything was becoming darkened.” Like Constantine’s sign which he witnessed in the sun, even so, this sign, accepted by the Catholic church, began to be received by many around the world in favor of the Catholic church. It was only a year later when the Spanish flu, taking an estimated 100,000,000 lives, swept through the land, and had put to death two of the children who were entrusted with the Fatima message.
The three “secrets” began with a vision of hellfire, of souls being tormented in groans and pains, where demons filled with shrieks of despair. Thus it was that the living child reported “horrified us and made us tremble with fear.” Then the apparition promises that she would take the three children to heaven, thus securing their sense of peace and safety in Mary, and away from “the only true God, and Jesus Christ” (John 17:3). The purpose of striking a fear of the wrathful and avenging tyrant they suppose to be God. “You have seen hell where the souls of poor sinners go,” said the apparition, “To save them, God wishes to establish in the world devotion to my Immaculate Heart. If what I say to you is done, may souls will be saved, and there will be peace.” Thus we see that it is to the Virgin Mary, that devotion must be established in the world to “save” souls, by forcing men to turn from their sins. Thus the Pope would honor the god of strongholds by consecrating all the world to her.

THE EUROPEAN UNION FOR CHURCH & STATE

Then the apparition says that World War I “is going to end: but if people do not cease offending God, a worse one will break out…” It was this second world war that laid the foundation for establishing the European Union. In his war-time message, Pius had called for an international order and the establishment of international organizations. It has been thoroughly documented how Pacelli was involved in helping Hitler rise to power in favor of the church, but refused to condemn the persecution taking place against the Jews. On December 24th, 1942 at the persistent demand from world leaders, the Pope issued a statement declaring that it was departing from “divine law” that had caused this tragedy. He futher declared that devoted men owed a vow to bring society “back to it’s immovable center of gravity in divine law. Humanity owes this vow to those hundreds of thousands who…are marked down for death or gradual extinction.” He then made the appeal for seeing “the Christian conception of the state” power to “its proper function”, to “use every effort to stamp out the errors which cause the State and its authority to depart from the path of moral rectitude…” “in the crusade for a new and noble social order, [to] raise the new standard of moral and Christian regeneration, you must declare war upon the darkness of apostasy from God, upon the coldness of fraternal discord; you must wage war in the name of a humanity which is grievously sick, a humanity which must be healed in the name of the Christian conscience.”
It was after the war, in hopes of keeping the nations of Europe accountable to prevent another world war, the Council of Europe was formed, and in 1955, the flag of the council was created consisting of twelve stars, in honor of Mary. On the twenty-fifth anniversary of the Fatima apparition, on October 31, 1942 Pius XII consecrated the Church and the whole world to Mary, joined by the bishops of Portugal, gathered at the Cathedral in Lisbon. On 13 June 1957 he demanded a united Europe, aware of its foundations, with common institutions, a common foreign policy, and a strong European parliament to control the institutions and the council of ministers. In the same year, this took place, following the signing of the Treaty of Rome which formalized the European Union, he received the heads of government and State of the newly founded European Union, to express his gratification and give his blessings. The Pope’s successor on September 2, 1958 released a 20 meter statue of Mary, calling it “Our Beloved Lady, Ruler of Europe.”
The reason for the formation of the European Union was not hidden, as the political leaders who founded it were overwhelmingly Catholic. Robert Schuman of France was strongly devoted to Mary, and said “Europe [is] the establishment of a generalized democracy in the Christian sense of the word.” He affirmed publicly that Papal encyclicals “define Catholic docrine and bind in conscience.” With Konrad Adenauer (Germany) and Alcide de Gaspari (Italy) being heavily influenced by the teaching of Pope Leo XIII that it was their duty to see “the restoration, both in rulers and peoples, of the principles of the Christian life in civil and domestic society”, they set out towards the uniting Europe to this end. It was their purpose to enshrine in their democracy the Roman Catholic faith, and to have a United Europe which would stand against the growing forces of communism. Thus, the European Union itself is representative of the king of the north, even as communist Russia was for the south.
Pope Paul VI said in 1975 on European unification: “Can it not be said that it is faith, the Christian faith, the Catholic faith that made Europe?”.The pope Paul VI also said:”It is there that our mission as bishops in Europe takes on a gripping perspective. No other human force in Europe can render the service that is confided to us, promoters of the faith, to re-awaken Europe’s Christian soul, where its unity is rooted.”
Thus, the second “secret” of Fatima led to the formation of the European Union at the demand of the Pope, and according to the devices which the church forecasting in the past. From this time, there were two significant points mentioned by the apparition. How did Satan know what should come to pass? It was evident that he knew the prophetic message of Daniel, and was seeking to deceive as many as possible regarding it. We know this because Satan was seeking to hinder the going forth of the decree to restore and rebuild Jerusalem, and even set up an anti-Jewish usurper to the throne of Medo-Persia to prevent the decree from taking place. Now that the prophecy of Daniel is under such significant fulfillment, the Scripture tells us he seeks to deceive as many as he can into siding with him, “because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.” (Rev. 12:13) If he cannot hinder the divine purpose, he will seek to twist as many minds as possible against it by foretelling the same events, but setting them forth in a false light in favor of apostate darkness.

THE FALL OF COMMUNISM & THE UNHOLY ALLIANCE

Said the apparition: “I shall come to ask for the consecration of Russia to my Immaculate Heart… If my requests are heeded, Russia will be converted, and there will be peace; if not, she will spread her errors throughout the world, causing wars and persecutions of the Church… In the end, my Immaculate Heart will triumph. The Holy Father will consecrate Russia to me, and she shall be converted, and a period of peace will be granted to the world.” You may notice that in the controversy, that the archdeceiver is not certain of whether or not the purposes will be fulfilled so quickly, because he needs the fallen churches to be in full cooperation with the Fatima apparition’s prophetic mission to deceive. Thus he will continue to use communism to persecute and cause war until his church is in harmony with his dark purposes, then he will restrain communism to bring his devices to pass. It is evident based on the words of the apparition that the devil knows that the king of the north will eventually “triumph”.
On January 10th, 1984, the United States announced the establishment of diplomatic relations with the Vatican. Only three months later on March 25, 1984, Pope John Paul II again performed the consecration of the world, and implicitly Russia, to “the Immaculate Heart of Mary” before an idol of the Virgin Mary of Fatima brought to Saint Peter’s Square; called the “program of Marian consecration and entrustment.” Thus, the god of fortresses/strongholds finds a compelling fulfillment in the veneration and worship of Mary.
It was around this time that Pope John Paul II when he worked together with Ronald Reagan, president of the United States, to see the Soviet Union fall, which took place in 1989. Said the National Security Adviser of Ronald Reagan: “This was one of the great secret alliances of all time.” He further stated that “a unity of spiritual view and a unity of vision on the Soviet empire: that right or correctness would ultimately prevail in the divine plan.” Time Magazine dubbed it “A Holy Alliance”. How secret was the matter? The Pope did many secret things to see the communist regime fall, by “supporting political activities: distributing printing machines of all kinds, giving us a place for underground meetings, organizing special demonstrations.” (Wojciech Adamiecki, Organizer & Editor of various underground Solidarity newspapers) Through books, communication equipment, propaganda, ink and printing presses, the king of the North entered into the king of the south’s realm to overthrow it. “Nobody believed the collapse of communism would happen this fast or on this timetable,” says a cardinal who is one of the Pope’s closest aides. “But in their first meeting, the Holy Father and the President committed themselves and the institutions of the church and America to such a goal.” America, the land of sovereign independance, the northern kingdom of Israel’s ten tribes inheritance that they may practice their religion without oppression, was a key component in the hand of the Papal king of the north. From this time forward, the Papal power would rapidly begin to rise, and America, as the spiritual “northern kingdom”, would begin to have irrepressibly close ties to the Papacy to fulfill the forty-first verse of Daniel 11 which follows this.

THE JESUIT ORDER

Yet before moving forward to this verse, one other point bears mentioning on Daniel 11:40 of how the king of the north would come against the king of the south “like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with man ships, and shall enter into the countries, and overflow and pass through.” With the establishment of the European Union, another manner in which the king of the north has ascended into power, overflowing the countries of the world, needs mentioning. One of the most successful ways in which the northern king would enter into the various countries is through the Jesuit order. The Jesuit order was well known by kings of Europe, France’s Napoleon and presidents of the United States making special mention of them for their work of subverting nations through their tactics. However, in the present society, the working of this order is so carefully guarded, that it’s purpose are almost wholly unknown in our day, were it not for certain explicit moves being made in the present time in churches and nations being uncovered, as well as the dark history of it’s past movements.
The order was designed specifically as a militia of the Catholic church; it’s mission to bring the Catholic church back into ascendancy in the nations, working their way into countries with no ties to Catholicism, becoming established as counsellors of kings, presidents, and prime ministers, if not into those very offices themselves. It was a decided purpose of the order to instigate war to the establishment of various ends which would favor the Catholic church. By this, the European Union had further grounds for it’s establishment. So firmly laid out were the designs of this order, that when they had positioned the churches and countries where they felt they should be, the devil removed the current Pope through his resignation, and placed a Jesuit, Pope Francis, to complete the work which the Jesuits had for years been laying the foundation for.
It became evident that this foundation was laid in the dark, but now, the purposes of the king of the north were to advance in a startingly rapid manner. It had only been two years since the European Union had signed the Lisbon Treaty in 2011, which secured a single president over the entire European Union. Several other key presidential positions of economy, an foreign relations had been created in previous treaties had been assigned, but this had proven the most powerful position hithertofore.
In shocking dismay, the British prime minister, Nigel Farage, with several other members of the E.U. Parliament saw that their vote against the president was disregarded. When seeing the selection of the president, who was a man who had appeared on the world stage without any former recognition by the European people. His name was Herman Van Rompuy. Said the British MP in outrage, “I would like to ask you Mr. President. Who are you? I have never heard of you. Nobody in Europe had ever heard of you! Who voted for you?” He then began before the members of the Parliament to call out the president, asking “Is this European democracy? I sense that you are competent, and capable, and dangerous. And I have no doubt that it is your intention to be the quiet assassin of European democracy and the European nation states…” In several press releases from the E.U. and several Catholic European newspapers, after the rise of the Jesuit Pope Francis, Herman Van Rompuy announced, “We are all Jesuits” in reference to those prominent European leaders with whom he was developing the architecture for the future Europe. “It creates unbreakable ties. So there is a ‘Jesuits International.'” He then named several members of the European Union parliament, alongside the Chairman of the Euro group, the president of the European Central Bank, and the president of the European Commission. Thus the Jesuits have been the vanguard of the apostate church, and are driving the European Union through the progression of treaties back under the black banner of the king of the north.

THE REBIRTH OF THE EUROPEAN UNION

The last act of Van Rompuy’s presidency was to have Pope Francis address the European Union members of parliament. Addressing the leaders, he said: “I am likewise convinced that a Europe which is capable of appreciating its religious roots and of grasping their fruitfulness and potential, will be all the more immune to the many forms of extremism spreading in the world today, not least as a result of the great vacuum of ideals which we are currently witnessing in the West, since “it is precisely man’s forgetfulness of God, and his failure to give him glory, which gives rise to violence… I consider to be fundamental not only the legacy that Christianity has offered in the past to the social and cultural formation of the continent, but above all the contribution which it desires to offer today, and in the future, to Europe’s growth.” This was in addition to the statement he gave only days before, calling for Europe to return to it’s Catholic roots and heal the deadly wound sustained in 1798: “I believe that Europe has many resources for going forward. It’s like a sickness that Europe has today. A wound. And the greatest resource is the person of Jesus. Europe, return to Jesus! Return to that Jesus whom you have said was not in your roots! And this is the work of the pastors: to preach Jesus in the midst of these wounds. I have spoken of only a few, but there are tremendous wounds.”
Only two years later, his appeal was similar, and would meet with much greater success. When giving an address at the reception of the Charlemagne Prize on May 6th, 2016, he said, “To the rebirth of a Europe weary, yet still rich in energies and possibilities, the Church can and must play her part. Her task is one with her mission: the proclamation of the Gospel, which today more than ever finds expression in going forth to bind the wounds of humanity with the powerful yet simple presence of Jesus, and His mercy that consoles and encourages. God desires to dwell in our midst, but He can only do so through men and women who, like the great evangelizers of this continent…live for the Gospel, seeking nothing else. Only a Church rich in witnesses will be able to bring back the pure water of the Gospel to the roots of Europe. In this enterprise, the path of Christians towards full unity is a great sign of the times and response to the Lord’s prayer ‘that they may all be one’.”

Pope Francis made what seemed like a strong appeal for Europe to return to Christ, and to have the waters of the gospel nourishing the roots of Europe; which is church and state relations, where the church has laws enacted in the civil and social centers which “Christianize” the continent. But Paul said we are not to receive every gospel; “For if ye receive another Jesus, whom ye have not received…or another gospel, which we have not preached, ye might have to bear with it.” (2 Cor. 11:4) Like the waters of the Euphrates, which were diverted from Babylon causing it’s fall, even so, when the Protestants called them to turn from their wickedness and to obey the Scriptures they had kept sealed away from the people, they refused and this inevitiably led to their fall. Yet, even as the loosing of the Scriptures in the hands of the Protestants led to a great revival and the suppression of Papal oppression, the sealing of the truths contained in the Scriptures has led to a growing darkness from the churches showing favor to the apostate church, and aiding it’s rise to power once more. Was that not what happened in Protestant America when Ronald Reagan, a Protestant, joined with the Pope to see communism fall? Indeed, these are signs of the times, but not signs which speak good things.
A year after this appeal of Pope Francis for Europe’s “rebirth” to heal the wounds of a once-Catholic Europe, the members of the European Union called for “a rebirth” of the European Union on the sixtieth anniversary of it’s signing the Treaty of Rome. A five-step process to the European Union rebirth was drawn up, and the European Union president Joseph Muscat, along with the members of the European Parliament went to the Vatican to look for moral leadership from the Jesuit Pope. Muscat said that Pope Francis “that Pope Francis can “provide leadership that politicians miss…I do think he [Pope Francis] is the ultimate world leader that within the circumstances has the skills and the vision to say things that transcend the obvious and banalities we all say in politics.”
Pope Francis received the leaders of the European Union, again appealing that “Christianity…profoundly shaped” Europe. ” In his address, he stated that “Europe has a patrimony (fatherly inheritance) of ideals and spiritual values unique in the world, one that deserves to be proposed once more with passion and renewed vigour, for it is the best antidote against the vacuum of values of our time, which provides a fertile terrain for every form of extremism. These are the ideals that shaped Europe…”
All of these steps have proven to give life to the death-like slumber of the little horn power, which ruled the nations with an iron heel. Yet in all of these developments, there are even more significant events in the following verses which build upon all of these things.

“He shall enter peaceably upon the fattest places of the province” speaks of the spirit of compromise now overtaking the church. Marcus, the bishop in Jerusalem did that which the Christian fathers did not do; in fact, this compromise not even the Jewish fathers had done before them. By him, many Christians, associated as Jews in the minds of the Romans, and unwilling to embrace the newly adopted faith of the league between Hadrian and the paganized Christians were scattered, chased down, persecuted, and put to death. He, the bishop of the churches, “forecast his devices” for a time. To forecast his devices in the original Hebrew means to imagine his intentions, plots. “They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof. Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices. For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them.”
(Proverbs 1:30-32)

This imagining of “their own devices” would continue “for a time”; which in prophecy is 360 years. The league made with Hadrian was in 136 AD. From verse 24-28, it will deal with significant events of the Christian church in relation to the Roman Empire from 136 AD to 496 AD. Thus, from this time of the compromise with emperor, the Christian bishop would imagine his devices of converting the emperor and the empire to Christianity until it begins to take fruition in 495-496 AD, when emperor Clovis of the united French empire was baptized, and 3000 soldiers with him. This spirit of “forecasting” “against the strongholds” can be witnessed and clearly evidenced more and more among the Christian bishops, who had a yearning for attaining to power and authority in Rome. This time would go until an emperor in Rome would be determined regarding the enforcement of the Christian faith.

When the Roman Catholic Emperor Gratian came to power, he published an edict that all the subjects of the empire should profess the faith of the bishops of Rome and Alexandria, which was the Nicene faith. From this time, Trinitarian Christianity remained in ascendancy throughout the empire. He further renounced the high priesthood of Pontifex Maximus as emperor, and conferred this upon the bishops that were in Rome, who had been the most earnest for the Nicene faith. From this time, the bishops of Rome were known as “the popes.”
Gratian’s army had resented him for appearing in public in the dress of Goths, who they had been at war with for six years. One of the Roman generals, named Magnus Maximus, raised up a revolt which ultimately led to his troops abandoning him. From here, the governor of Lyon, France, surrendered him to Andragathius, one of his rebel generals, who assassinated him; thereby fulfilling the words “they that feed on the portion of his (the Roman Emperor’s) meat shall destroy him, and his army shall overflow”.
Theodosius, who Gratian had appointed to command the army; and eventually promoted him to become co-emperor with him, thereby leaving him the kingdom. By him, the first heretic was put to death, while the Edict of Thessalonica dedicated the empire to the Nicene faith of the Trinity. In it were announced the words, “We authorize the followers of this law to assume the title of Catholic Christians;”. Pagan temples were destroyed or closed, holy cites, images and objects of veneration in the empire were destroyed, and made a law which prohibited any public non-Christian religious customs, including visiting the pagan temples; anyone caught practicing contrary to the orthodoxy established under Theodosius was to be put to death. A decree against Manichaeism, a form of Christianity, was issued that all devotees of it’s persuasion should be sentenced to death without rights.
Further than this, an uprising took place in Thessalonica, which led to Theodosius slaughtering over 7000 individuals.
“The anger of the Emperor rose to the highest pitch, and he gratified his vindictive desire for vengeance by unsheathing the sword most unjustly and tyrannically against all, slaying the innocent and guilty alike. It is said seven thousand perished without any forms of law, and without even having judicial sentence passed upon them; but that, like ears of wheat in the time of harvest, they were alike cut down…” (Theodoretus, Ecclesiastical History 5.17) After Theodosius reign, he divided his empire between his two sons, Honorius (Western Rome) and Arcadius (Eastern Rome) to be his successors to the Empire.

This is speaking of the time appointed after the 360 years of forecasting devices was finished, bringing us to 496 AD. At this time, Clovis, the king and unifier of France converted from paganism to Catholicism. A large number of his army would also recognize the Catholic religion as supreme. From this time, he dedicated the nation of France, which by the conquests of Clovis, had consisted of over half of the Roman Empire, to defending the Catholic religion. It was not long until Clovis’ empire was completely converted in 508 AD to the Nicene faith. Thus it was that France, who honored the Pontifex Maximus of Rome, was counted as the king of the north.
Yet south of France were the three non-trinitarian kingdoms, the Visigoths, the Vandals, and the Ostrogoths. The king of the south formerly was a power antagonistic to the people of God; and afterwards, the same would be true. Yet these southern kingdoms “shall not be as the former, or as the latter”.
Clovis issued his army to wage war against Alaric, king of the Visigoths in the Battle of Vouille.

The non-trinitarian Vandals occupied the African border, where the mediterranean sea is. The Vandals from 455-457 had sent a fleet of ships threatening Gaul (France) and Italy. They further sacked Rome, and though the Roman Empire sought to destroy the Vandals by sending thousands of soldiers and ships against them, they could not prevail. The Vandal activity in the Mediterranean, south of France, was so substantial, that the sea’s name was called “Wendelsea”, meaning “Sea of the Vandals”; it was from this sea that the isles of Chittim were located. The Visigoths also included part of the Mediterranean coast of France, and was instigated by the Goths.
Being grieved by this, Clovis would unite with the Papal authority against the holy covenant by enforcing Papal decrees, and had persecuted the anti-Nicene king Alaric to death.

“Arms” or an army would stand on behalf of the Papacy from 508. Forced conversions took place. The Albigenses, non-trinitarian Sabbathkeeping Christians, fled to the French alps. There was no longer freedom for any citizen to be anything in Frankish part of the Roman Empire except a Nicene-honoring Catholic Christian; to be otherwise meant certain death. Before this time, paganism had reigned over the people of God oppressively from generation to generation; now this was being taken away, and Papalism would begin to take his seat as the king of the north. From the time of 508 to 538, a 30 year period, the non-trinitarian kingdoms which kept back the Catholic church’s supremacy for over a century were to be a hindrance no longer.
Citizenship was equated with religion; if any did not become Catholic Christian, they would be put to death. The “Sanctuary of strength” speaks of the heavenly Sanctuary spoke of in Daniel 8 which needed to be cleansed. It was polluted because of the sins of those who took upon themselves the profession of Christ. To take this profession is to enter the Sanctuary; to enter it without the cleansing blood of Christ and without consecration to God was to desecrate it. Forced conversion is not based upon individual heart conversion, but forced outward observances to legislation irrespective of the blood of Christ. By this, the power that claimed so high an authority to change God’s law legislated laws against the observance of the law of God, and instituted the sun worship of Catholicism: “the abomination that maketh desolate”.

The Pope would flatter and honor those who were enforcing the Catholic dogmas upon their subjects, while those kings would honor the Pope’s word in the place of God’s Word. Wickedness overflowed and was strengthened, silencing the voice of reproof. The “people that do know their God” were the Albigenses of France; the Waldenses of Italy; among others who had retreated to the solitary mountains for freedom to worship in accordance with the Scriptures to keep the law of God without persecution. While the Pope’s heart was against the holy covenant, and would do exploits against it in asserting his authority; those who knew their God would honor the blood of the covenant, exalting the authority of God, as doers of the covenant, whose strength was in Christ.

Who shall understand these things? The Scripture tells us, “None of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.” Those who understood were those who had been familiar with the prophecies of the Scripture, especially the prophecies of Daniel. It is this understanding which confirmed them to stand against great persecution for “a time, times, and half a time” (Daniel 7:25). “Many days” is referring to this time prophecy where the king of the north used the sword of the state to make war against the saints of God.

When the faithful people of God were persecuted and tried, their help was found in the reformation. Throughout the Roman Empire/Europe, there were faithful men of God who translated the Scriptures into the common language; in some parts throughout Europe, this even led to spaces of time where religious liberty and freedom of conscience was enjoyed. All of this served to slow the persecution down.
More than this, the warriors of Islam came with a heavy hand upon the Catholic churches, attacking them and driving them away from the true believers, lest they should be overcome.
However, not all that appeared to be help was truly help. Many like Judas would betray the faithful ones with a kiss to the Catholics to be killed, or else to renounce their faith through subtleties. In one such instance, La Trinita, a general for the Papal church, had repeatedly led out armies to the entrance of the valleys where the Waldensian people were. Repeatedly, his army was forced to flee, and he saw a people fierce and determined to not yield their children or families, nor sacrifice their faith; but would rather die than let them into the hands of the Pope and his representatives. So he entered upon them in another manner to deceive them through flatteries.
He sent his secretary, Gastaud, and Jacomel, an inquisitor, prepared with pleasant words of peace which was arrange towards them by the duke and duchess. It was further told to them that if they would only make a few small concessions, leaving their arms, and take them via train to a Catholic mass, for form’s sake, it would be well with them. The pastors and laymen had counselled against taking this course, but nevertheless, many were induced to accept the proposition. After this, they made further concessions to secure terms of peace. They were leavied a heavy sum of money to send away the Papal armies, which required selling their herds. Then after this, were told they must send away their pastors. From this point, they destroyed the crops of corn and oil, and broke their mills in pieces. Forcing them to either starve to death, or submit to Papal authority.

The time of the end would be after the expiration of the many days of sword, fire, and captivity forced upon the saints. The purpose of this captivity was to fully purge out rebellion, and to show clearly what are the consequences of rebellion. Moreover, it showed the heart of rebellion in a most oppressive form. When Israel and Judah had sinned against the God of heaven, bringing themselves under the power of the heathen, it was the divine purpose to “break the pride of their power” (Lev. 26:19), “be reformed…by these things” (v. 23), and to “hearken” to His words, and honor His covenant.
So thoroughly would He permit this to take place, that He might purge His people, “and purify unto Himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.” (Titus 2:14) It was His purpose to bestow the honors of the ten tribes upon men who were prepared to receive it at the time of the end of Israel’s captivity experience which began in 723BC, continued for 1260 years of pagan dominion to 538AD, and would continue for another 1260 years to 1798AD.

Still speaking about the Papacy, we have already spoken at length how the doctrinal position was developed that they should speak against the God of gods; that they “cast down the truth to the ground; and it practised, and prospered.” (Daniel 8:12) It further says of the Papal power that “through his policy he shall cause devices to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes…”; the popes magnified their office even unto the Prince of the covenant, and claimed authority to change the circle wafer into the literal flesh of the Son of God, and to crucify Him at their mass at will.
This prospering shall take place until the indignation is accomplished, which we spoke about in the previous verse. What was the indignation? “O Assyrian, the rod of mine anger, and the staff in their hand is mine indignation…For yet a very little while, and the indignation shall cease.”
(Isaiah 10:5, 25)
It was indignation against Israel for the seven times of 2520 years, consisting of three and a half times of pagan and papal dominion. “And the LORD rooted them out of their land in anger, and in wrath, and in great indignation, and cast them into another land, as it is this day.” (Deut. 29:28) America would be the haven for the reformed spiritual Israel, as the new promised land, which was originally intended to shelter from oppression.
We will speak more at length about the end of the indignation periods in the explanation of Daniel 12.

Here is simply reiterated the reality of the man of sin “who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.” (2 Thes. 2:4) But above this, it refers to the worship of Mary, “the Queen of heaven”, a “strange god, whom he shall acknowledge” which was enshrined in the Papal Trinity doctrine under co-mediatorship. The Papal power has gone to great lengths to have Mary acknowledged and deified by virtue of the false understanding of the person of the Holy Spirit in the Trinity. Here are a few quotes furnished as proof of this:
“Because of Mary’s singular cooperation with the action of the Holy Spirit, the Church loves to pray in communion with the Virgin Mary, to magnify with her the great things the Lord has done for her, and to entrust supplications and praises to her.” (Catechism of the Catholic Church, 2682)

“…the faithful should be carefully instructed about the practice of consecration to the Blessed Virgin Mary…it is, in reality, only analogously a ‘consecration to God,’ and should be expressed in a correct liturgical manner: to the Father, through Christ in the Holy Spirit, imploring the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, to whom we entrust ourselves completely, so as to keep our baptismal commitments and live as her children.” (An Introduction to the Liturgy. IV, 1986)

It is customary in the Catholic church to consecrate all lands “strongholds” to Mary. The consecration of cities and regions to the Virgin Mary dates back to around the 9th century AD. A great number of lands in Europe were also consecrated to Mary. This practice has been resurrected in the last century with most startling implications. This “god of forces” can also be translated “goddess of strongholds” in the Hebrew.

In the Catholic Catechism, quoting from Pope Paul VI, it states: “The Church’s devotion to the Blessed Virgin is intrinsic to Christian worship.”… “in the glory of the Most Holy and Undivided Trinity,”…the Church is awaited by the one she venerates… as her own mother.” (Catholic Catechism, Art. IX, 971-972)

“What will it cost you, oh Mary, to hear our prayer? What will it cost you to save us? Has not Jesus placed in your hands all the treasures of His grace and mercy? You sit crowned Queen at the right hand of your son: your dominion reaches as far as the heavens and to you are subject the earth and all creatures dwelling thereon. Your dominion reaches even down into the abyss of hell, and you alone, oh Mary, save us from the hands of Satan.” Pope Pius Xl

But while this speaks of Mary, as noted earlier, this is spoken about the co-mediatorship of the Holy Spirit, which leads to the worship of men who are believed to have that Spirit in them. Thus it says in the acknowledging of this God of strongholds, chiefly manifested in the veneration of Mary and the Bishop of Rome, but then acknowledges this “God” as “them”. “He (The Pope) shall cause them to rule over many, and shall divide the land for gain…”; this does not speak of Mary alone, but of all the saints which are venerated and honored in the Catholic church. The whole earth has been divided and dedicated to the saints of the Catholic church. Whole countries have been dedicated to patron and protecting saints as tutelary deities. The country has been divided up, and cities have been consecrated to different saints as witness in our land-San Francisco, St. Louis, St. Paul, St. Augustine, St. Joseph, St. John, St. Mary, And the earth, its countries, its cities, have not only been parceled out to the saints but to clericals of various ranks, the representatives of the Papacy and always and ever to the gain of the Papacy.

As Ahab and the apostate tribes of Israel were troubled, so will the Papacy be troubled when the same messages are delivered to him from the last day Elijah, who will turn the hearts of disobedience Israel to the fidelity of the truth. “Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD…Remember the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded to him in Horeb for all Israel, with the statutes and judgments.” (Malachi 4:4-5) The message to uphold the law that the Papacy has trodden underfoot shall be proclaimed from tongues ignited by the spiritual flame of fire calling men to repentance, “lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.” (Mal. 4:6).
This is a message for “all Israel”; not the ten tribes only, but for spiritual Judah & Benjamin also. The message will be against the apostate power of the Papal restoration, and against the apostasy of Protestantism weilding this same power over the shores of America to enforce the worship of the Papal dogmas of Sunday under the Trinity, and persecuting those who keep the holy Sabbath rest in the commandments of God. This message is declared as the message of the “third angel” giving the message with “a loud voice”; the message is a denunciation against these very ones.
“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.”
(Revelation 14:9-12)

Notice that the ones who receive “no rest” day or night are the those who honor the beast (the Papal church/state) and his image (Protestant America church/state- click here to see more); who enforce the mark of the Papacy. But it is announced that if any do not turn from these sins, they will be smitten with a curse. Those who give this message are identified with those who “keep the commandments of God”. The Elijah message is to prepare the people for the return of Christ, to receive the blessing and not the curse. Revelation 22:14 tells us this message of the loud cry of the third angel must be received if they are to enter into the heavenly glorious land: “Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.”
The reason this message comes up from the east is because it is signified as the “angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels… Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, until we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads. And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed a hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of Israel.” (Rev. 7:2) This message that comes with a loud voice is the sealing message to seal the redeemed who will stand faultless and pure before the throne of God upon heavenly Mt. Zion: “And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father’s name written in their foreheads…these are they which were not defiled with women (apostate churches); for they are virgins. These follow the Lamb wheresoever He goes…These were redeemed from among men…”
(Revelation 14:1,4)

Some people believe these 144,000 that aree sealed are literal Jews, but Daniel 9’s determination against the fleshly seed of Israel makes that impossible. These souls who are sealed by the angel with the loud voice from the East are the people signified by the tribes after the seven times; who are called to recognize their identity as tribes of Israel. Thus, they are called to remove their feet from error and apostasy. If they reject light from heaven; they stand in no more favor with God than did the Jews who crucified Christ. If they fail to recognize this, and crucify the light of heaven, they begin to repeat the history of the apostate tribes of Israel after the flesh who were destroyed because of their sins. This message is to go forward to declare to the people their transgressions and sins (Isaiah 58:1); it is to be made known that an apostate church that rejects light from heaven is identified as prophetic Babylon in the Scriptures, because they choose rather to adhere to the doctrines and practices of heathenism than to the teachings of the God of Israel. It is the swelling of this Loud Cry message which troubles the King of the north, and when it is received by those in his kingdom, who begin to proclaim the message, he is troubled by the tidings from his own northern kingdom. When the Northern King forces unconverted men into membership into the various apostate churches, the churches will swell with corruption; when this happens, the church numbers herself with the world, is declared to be fallen, and is ripe for judgment. /
In seeking to force God’s children to be part of her apostate communion, cries will be heard as from Israel of old while in Egypt. It is for this reason that the call is made from the servants of God at this time, as it was heard through Moses to Egypt: “And thou shalt say unto Pharaoh, Thus saith the LORD, Israel is my son, even my firstborn: And I say unto thee, Let my son go, that he may serve me: and if thou refuse to let him go, behold, I will slay thy son, even thy firstborn.”
(Exodus 4:22-23)
Thus, a people was to come out of the oppression of Egypt and the Pharaoh then, that they might enter into the glorious land. Likewise, all who are truly Israel and know the Voice of Truth will follow Him wherever He calls (John 10:3-5,16), even as a Shepherd who calls his sheep. Thus is the message of the loud cry is given to Israel who are in the midst of the apostate church of the northern kingdom (Papalism and the fallen churches):
“I saw another angel come down from heaven…And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird. For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her…” Here is the first part of the loud cry, declaring the sins of the church in enforcing pagan doctrines upon the world in the name of Christ. The second follows it: “And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities… in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double.”
(Revelation 18:1-6)

As Joseph received a double-portion of the blessing, with Manasseh and Ephraim, there is a second calling out of the Catholic church for it’s sins and corruption, but also a double-portion of judgment for it’s wickedness. Those who are receive this sealing message will leave the fallen churches and take their stand with the remnant. “Say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel his fellows, and will put them with him, even with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they shall be one in mine hand.”
(Ezekiel 37:19)
Both kingdoms will be one in the hand of Christ, having one king over them, as it was before the apostasy of the ten tribes in the glorious land. Faithful Joseph and the tribes of Israel will consist of the “the remnant” who will be “joint-heirs with Christ” (Romans 8:17): “Hate the evil, and love the good, and establish judgment in the gate: it may be that the LORD God of hosts will be gracious unto the remnant of Joseph.” (Amos 5:15)
The remnant who heed the loud voice of the sealing angel will leave the hand of Ephraim, which signifies those among the tribes in the hand of the King of the north, and be placed into the hand of the Lion of of the Tribe of Judah, who will reign upon the throne of David. As such, the King of the north “shall go forth with great fury to destroy, and utterly to make away many.”
The Scripture speaks of a time when it will be too late to receive this message. Like the foolish virgins who did not put oil into their lamps, and were shut out of the wedding, “I will send a famine in the land” says the Lord, “Not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD: And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the Word of the LORD, and shall not find it. In that day shall the fair virgins and young men faint for thirst. They that swear by the sin of Samaria (the place where Jeroboam, son of Joseph, reigned)…shall fall, and never rise up again.” (Amos 8:11-14) Such is the fearful results of neglecting the light, and spurning the precious privileges and opportunities presented in understand the truth as it is in Jesus.

In the earthly Jerusalem, in the city of Judah was located Mt. Zion, where the Sanctuary was established. In like manner, the heavenly Sanctuary is established in the heavenly Mt. Zion: “Send help from the sanctuary, and strengthen us out of Zion;” (Psalm 20:2) This is the mountain which will fill the whole earth when the image of the kingdoms of this world are destroyed, according to the dream of Daniel 2. The message of John the baptist is to be repeated with added strength: “Repent ye, for the Kingdom of heaven is at hand.” (Matt. 3:2) The Papacy prevents the message of Elijah’s call to repentance, to prepare for the Kingdom of God, from coming to the people. He likewise prevents the people from coming to the glorious holy mountain.
Isaiah prophesying about the establishment of the glorious holy mountain, the true church, in the last days: “The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem. And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the LORD’S house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it. And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.”
(Isaiah 2:1-3)
This is not fleshly Judah, but the spiritual remnant; it is not earthly Jerusalem, but “the Jerusalem which is above” (Gal. 4:26) To this “all nations shall flow unto it”; but Satan knows this, and has devised many ways of seeking to prevent this loud cry message from being received by the people.
In planting his tabernacle where he can best obstruct the reception of the tidings of the east and north, he creates a wall preventing the “innumerable company of angels” from the Sanctuary to move upon the servants of God that they might bear there message. This is where the Satan’s grand design of the Fatima apparition reaches it’s climatic prophecy, of a most deceptive design. The apparition who claimed to be Mary, whom the Catholics regard as the god of strongholds, demanded the consecration of all opposing forces to her, and then Satan removed them from power to give people a sense that Mary was to be highly honored. A threefold prophecy of Fatima seemed to come to pass as spoken by the deceptive spirit, which laid the foundation for the purpose of what Satan was seeking to secure. It was having established devotion to Mary via the church reigning over the kings of the earth that she called for. Once this was secured, Satan knew the loud cry of the third angel’s message, which was built upon the two previous angels, was to go forward.
Listen carefully to the vision which was shown by the apparition to the three children of Fatima: “At the left of Our Lady (Mary) and a little above, we saw an Angel with a flaming sword in his left hand; flashing, it gave out flames that looked as though they would set the world on fire; but they died out in contact with the splendour that Our Lady radiated towards him from her right hand: pointing to the earth with his right hand, the Angel cried out in a loud voice: ‘Penance, Penance, Penance!'”
What a prophecy! How deeply deceptive! Satan puts out plainly the loud cry of the third angel, giving a threefold cry to repent. Holding a sword in it’s left hand, signifying disfavor of this institutional devotion representing Mary: the Catholic church. The angel is even shown as being of higher authority, yet is demonized by the apparition. The angel is symbolized by a sword of fire, setting the world on fire; a message of judgment. As it was said of the two witnesses during the dark ages, “And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed.”
(Revelation 11:5)

The testimony of the third angel, when resisted and rejected, sees judgments being poured out upon the land; yet when it is received, the message becomes as flaming tongues of fire amongst those to whom it is given. The Spirit of God is poured out and all who receive the message bear witness by pouring forth the straight truth.
Yet Satan speaks of the “arm” of Mary being raised, which is the state power. As “arms” would stand on the part of the Papacy (Dan. 11:31), even so Mary’s arm, through the kings of the earth, shall suppress the message of the third angel, and seek to quench it’s fearful warnings, and prevent it’s wonderful blessings. In the message, Satan, that old serpent that deceived our first-parents, designs that the Loud Cry of the Third Angel’s message shall be looked upon as a false message. Such is the nature of the great delusions that shall manifest themselves at the end; Fatima is only a sample of many such delusions which Satan has prepared against the holy testimony of God’s saints.
These delusions were not arbitrary permitted by God to come over the people that they might reject the truth. Rather, like the French Revolution was the natural outworking of Papal policy at it’s end, the natural result of accepting these delusions was because of rejecting the Bible in favor of the words of falsehoods preached from the pulpit.
Satan knew the Loud Cry was coming to turn people away from him to the true God. In every effort, he sought to keep the people in darkness, deceived, complacent, and indifferent. He designs that the ministers of the various denominations shall be honored as the Catholic church regards the Pope; that church creeds shall be as Papal bulls, subverting the need to study the Scriptures. It is assumed that every word from the minister, priest, pastors, and teachers should be regarded as supreme authorities on what constitutes truth, even when the Scriptures condemn his teaching and course of action.
In this hour, those who have not taken any pains to study their Bibles to recognize the truth and discern the deceptions become helpless. The over-confidence of ministers leads to them in “giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of devils” (1 Tim. 4:1) The acceptance of these ideas causes men to brace themselves to resist anything contrary to their preconceived ideas of truth; great blindness is upon the people. Few have made the genuine effort to throw off the darkness that they might understand the Scriptures for themselves in order to learn it’s meaning.
Adding further weight to his deceptions, because of the carelessness and indifference of the people, he is permitted to seal the deception as they receive the mark of the beast. These are prepared by the Arch-deceiver to be under delusions similar to Fatima: “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.”
(2 Thessalonians 2:11-13)
As the Papal church came under a strong delusion in Europe for the rejection of truth with the Fatima apparition, the fallen churches across the world shall meet with a similar delusion.
Satan will transform himself into an angel of light, professing to be Christ Himself. The apostles who have long been resting in their graves awaiting the resurrection at Christ’s return will seem to have visited from heaven, as Mary did, urging that Sunday sacredness was to be the correct order of heaven. We are told of this time in prophecy when the people will be under the delusion of seeking the dead as though they were alive: “And when they shall say to you, “Seek those who are mediums and wizards, who whisper and mutter”, should not the people seek their God? Should they seek the dead on behalf of the living? To the law and to the testimony. If they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.” (Isaiah 8:19-20)
This great hindrance, which Satan used in Fatima, was to the end that more souls would be lost. Gabriel was hindered from coming to Daniel by Satanic agency to give the understanding of the warfare of Daniel’s people that should take place. In like manner, Gabriel explains what befalls Daniel’s people in the latter days; but one of the most significant things is that the King of the north would seek to hinder the final proclamation that the kingdom of heaven is at hand. Nevertheless, the true light will shine, and all who are honest will take their stand with the remnant people of God, who keep His commandments, and have the Spirit of prophecy.
“But he shall come to his end, and none shall help him.” The King of the North should fall. Even this was portrayed in the vision of Fatima, but with the appearance that the fall of the Papal church would be a great evil to take place. On a pilgrimage to Fatima on May 13, 2010, Pope Benedict accurately stated: “He deceives himself who thinks that the prophetic mission of Fatima is concluded…there are indicated future realities of the Church which little by little are manifesting themselves… and therefore it is the sufferings of the Church which are announced.” The sufferings of the church are signified by it’s fall; but not only it’s fall, but also the fall of the ministers of every church which had acted a part in deceiving mankind to stand under the banner of Popery.
As it was related in the account of Fatima: “A Bishop (was) dressed in White ‘we had the impression that it was the Holy Father’. Other Bishops, Priests, men and women Religious going up a steep mountain, at the top of which there was a big Cross…before reaching there the Holy Father passed through a big city half in ruins and half trembling with halting step, afflicted with pain and sorrow, he prayed for the souls of the corpses he met on his way; having reached the top of the mountain…he was killed by a group of soldiers who fired bullets and arrows at him, and in the same way there died one after another the other Bishops, Priests, men and women Religious, and various lay people of different ranks and positions.”
The mission of the Papacy is to set itself “in the place of God”. This warfare inevitably leads many to be overthrown. The Scripture tells as regarding the top of the mountain: “Upon the top of the mountain the whole limit thereof round about shall be most holy.” (Ezekiel 43:12) The slain that the Pope was responsible for reached unto heaven, even the Most Holy place. Then the destruction of the apostate churches represented in the Scripture are shown.
Of Joseph, it is said: “Seek the LORD, and ye shall live; lest he break out like fire in the house of Joseph, and devour it, and there be none to quench it in Bethel.”
(Amos 5:6)

Of the little horn, it is said: “I beheld then because of the voice of the great words which the horn spake: I beheld even till the beast was slain, and his body destroyed, and given to the burning flame.”
(Daniel 7:11)

Of the Harlot who commits fornication with the kings of the earth, it is said: “And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire. For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.”
(Revelation 17:16-17)

The end of the King of the north is grievously foretold to occur at the sign of the coming of the Son of God, coming in the clouds of heaven.

“Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all the tribes of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.”
(Revelation 1:7)

With this end, we are carried into it’s continuation of chapter 12. The warfare “was long” for Israel; the deceptions were great; the enemies vigilant to overthrow the children of God, yet God has ever had a people to bear witness to the truth on the earth, and His truth will triumph gloriously, redeem wonderfully, and establish us eternally. In this warfare, though it be a most piercing cross, be faithful at all costs and thou shalt receive a crown of life. The sufferings, privations, trials, and sacrifices “are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.” Then we shall recount all that we suffered in these few short years, and say together with all of the saints, “Heaven is cheap enough!”

Lastly, one final point may suffice to show that the glorious land spoken of here is the United States. “I have come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land unto a good land and a large, unto a land flowing with milk and honey.” (Exodus 3:8) In fact, the Scripture indicates that “the land…flowing with milk and honey” is “the glory of all lands” (Ezekiel 20:6,15) Thus it was that Jerusalem was blessed with great prosperity for upholding and protecting the principles of the law, even as the United States in a like-manner was to guard His commandment-keeping people free from oppression. Again and again, we may demonstrate that the glorious land is the United States of America, wonderfully paralleling the history the inheritance of the land of Canaan.

PAPAL ENTRANCE INTO AMERICA

In connection with the Papacy entering “like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships”, the Papal power enters into the glorious land of America. It is evident that the Papacy has done this in a variety of ways, as was spoken of in the last section; through the Jesuit order, through diplomatic ties, and also through the alliance of the United States with the Pope in bringing down the southern power of athiestic communism in Russia. But a greater manifestation of the Papal power takes place.
We are told by Christ “when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth understand,) then let them that be in Judaea flee to the mountains:”
(Mark 13:14)
This prophecy had been twice fulfilled. What is the abomination that makes desolate? It is the sign signifying the desolation of God’s presence, for it says in Daniel 9:27, “for the overspreading of abominations, he shall make it desolate.” When Christ declared the seemingly innumerable sins, against the privileges and opportunities conferred upon the chosen people in Matthew 23, He departed from the temple, declaring, “Behold, your house is left unto you desolate…and Jesus went out, and departed from the temple.” (Matthew 23:38,41) He then declared how the glorious land would be surrounded by armies and that the temple would be overthrown that “there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down”; Roman standards would be erected symbolizing that the restraining presence of God was removed. This was the sure result of apostasy.
In like manner, when for 360 years, the church imagined herself to be in league with the emperor for the furtherance of the Christian faith, these designs were fulfilled under the conversion of Clovis to Roman Catholicism and Justinian’s siege against Christians. Speaking of how these kings would stand for the Papal power, the Scripture declares that “arms shall stand on his (the Papacy’s) part, and they shall pollute the sanctuary of strength, and shall take away the daily, and they shall place the abomination that maketh desolate.” State power and armies exercised the authority of an apostate church which had cast the law of God behind it’s back, and declared itself to sit on the seat of divine authority as the “vicar of Christ”, possessing authority over the kings of the earth, and thereby justifying the enforcement of apostasy, and “made war with the saints and prevailed against them” (Daniel 7:21).
By professing to honor the blood of the Lamb of God, he professed the faith of the heavenly Sanctuary, which is Christianity. But by professing this blood, but continuing to practice abomination and forcing the saints of God to do likewise, and sin against God and conscience, they “pollute the sanctuary of strength”. Thus, paganism literally surrounded the glorious land of Jerusalem for three and a half years, and being forewarned for seven years beforehand. Papalism then erected pagan Christianity and with armies, spiritually surrounded the saints who represented the kingdom of heaven “Jerusalem above” and it’s sanctuary for three and a half prophetic years, of which the oppression began seven prophetic years beforehand.
Yet what do we have in America? Both Papalism and an entering into of the glorious land is especially noted in the Scripture of truth. Such a sign witnessed within America as this must necessarily be a great “whirlwind” prophetic event signifying some startling herald of judgment for “the glory of all lands.” As America signifies the land of restored inheritance to the northern kingdoms of Israel, what sign could be more startling than “the King of the North” arising to “stand where it ought not” in the northern kingdom of spiritual Israel?
And such an event would have to excel diplomacy between two executive offices of country, or United States presidents visiting the Vatican, or anything that has previously been revealed.

SIGNS IN THE HEAVENS

The Scripture tells us before the return of Christ, great signs in the heavens shall be witnessed: “And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood and fire, and pillars of smoke. The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come.”
(Joel 2:30-31)

THE PAPAL JESUIT

In the years 2014 and 2015, these things took on a more striking significance upon the sacred feast days of the calendar which God ordained at creation. Four blood moons, called a tetrad, fell upon the holy sabbath times of the Spring and Fall feasts marked out in the Scriptures. In between the years, on the vernal equinox of March 20th, 2015, called the revolution (of the sun) in the Scriptures, marked the new year of the Biblical calendar. On this date, a solar eclipse occurred, foretelling a great event was to occur within that year. While 2014 and 2015 had many events which brought a great prophetic shift, the larger significance was to occur near the end of the year 2015, when the Jesuit Pope would visit America.
Some of the stronger quotes exposing the Jesuit order were in the context of their relation to the United States and it’s form of government. French statesmen and general Marquis de LaFayette said “It is my opinion that if the liberties of this country – the United States of America – are destroyed, it will be by the subtlety of the Roman Catholic Jesuit priests, for they are the most crafty, dangerous enemies to civil and religious liberty. They have instigated most of the wars of Europe.” So aware of the dangers of the Jesuits (whose society had been restored by a Papal bull in 1814), the second president of the United States wrote a four-volume history on them, exposing them and citing many quotations from “unquestionable authorities.” John Adams, in his letter to Thomas Jefferson, said “I do not like the appearance of the Jesuits. If ever there was a body of men who merited eternal damnation on earth and in hell, it is this Society…Nevertheless, we are compelled by our system of religious toleration to offer them an asylum but if they do not put our elections to the test, it would be a wonder.” In response, Jefferson, who became the third president of the United States responded “Like you, I dislike their restoration; because it marks a retrograde step from light to darkness.” And in a more prophetic irony, Abraham Lincoln said “I do not pretend to be a prophet. But though not a prophet, I see a very dark cloud on our horizon. And that dark cloud is coming from Rome. It is filled with tears of blood. It will rise and increase till its flanks will be torn by a flash of lightning, followed by a fearful peal of thunder. Then a cyclone, such as the world has never seen, will pass over this country, spreading ruin and desolation from north to south… Neither I nor you, but our children, will see those things.”
America was not ignorant of the devices of the Jesuit Order. More startling was the accuracy with which President Lincoln spoke. It was when the Pope resigned in 2013 that a flash of lightning struck the Vatican, and was reported throughout the world. Next followed the election of the first Jesuit Pope. Then his entry into America like a “whirlwind” in the season of the final blood moon of 2015 as a sign of “the abomination of desolation” in “the north” until it reaches “the south”. One would think that the president had read Daniel 11’s final verses with a distinct understanding of the events which were to take place.
How exactly did he come in to the United States? The largest news channels and publishers worldwide worded it in a manner readily apparent to all: Fox News and CNN reported of “Pope Francis’ whirlwind tour through…the United States begins Saturday, September 19th” Then CBS: “Pope Francis’ whirlwind tour of New York City came to an end…”; “Pontiff endears himself to the world in global whirlwind tour”, New York times called it his “whirlwind United States tour”, and Time Magazine titled it “his whirlwind tour of the U.S.”, while Wallstreet Journal also called it “a Whirlwind Tour”.
The Jesuit Pope came into America “like a whirlwind” from September 23-25th meeting with the president of the Executive branch of government on the first day, whose duty is to enforce the laws of the land. The following day, he addressed a joint-session of the Legislative branch of the United States Congress, where the laws of the land are presented and passed. And in the final day, he addressed the largest assembly of countries ever gathered together in common cause at the United Nations.

THE DAY OF JUDGMENT

Of these three events, all significant, the last two were the most notable. The reason for this is that the Most High God does nothing of significance unless it is clearly and evidently revealed to His people beforehand. While the final blood moon was about a week away, the divinely appointed calendar has a day before it’s Fall festival signifying the judgment fell the very next day, called “The Day of atonement”.
In Daniel 8, we saw that Christ as our High Priest has entered into the work of judgment, where “the judgment was set, and the books were opened” in 1844 on the Day of atonement, October 22, 1844. The prophetic Day of Atonement was called in the Scriptures “the Hour of His judgment” (Revelation 14:6). Anciently, it was understood that if a man did not repent of the sins which he committed in the past year, the blood of the atonement would not benefit him, and he was counted as “cut off from amongst his people”, not receiving the mercy of God, and was regarded as being blotted out of the book of life in heaven. If he died before this time, his case was still pending on the Day of atonement, where mercy was executed in a definite manner for all for the sins committed in the past year. Likewise, in the antitype, Christ went into the Holy of holies and began the judgment on the dead who had faith in His blood, having repented of their sins and died in faith. Holy angels were to be witnesses of the books, that they might see the justice in who God was to bring into the heavenly courts at the resurrection from the dead. But more significantly, after the cases of the dead were brought into review before the heavenly host, the judgment of the living was to take place. Nations, like the nations of old of Sodom and Gomorrah, would go into review to determine their cases.

“Standing where he ought not”, Day of Judgment, 2015

Thus, it was the Day of judgment that the Pope stood in the Legislative branch of the United States to address the representatives of the nation who frame the laws. Startling scene! The King of the North addressing the State power of the northern kingdom of Israel on such a prophetically significant day! It is that same King of the North that apostatized from the truth; which “thinks to change [the Most High’s] times and laws” (Dan. 7:25), which honors Sunday, blasphemed the name of God, claims to sit on the throne of Christ, venerates dead saints, and puts to death the living saints of God! This authority of the Papacy has never been renounced; as we see by her vigorous efforts to regain state power. It was to escape this oppressive doctrine of the Papal temporal power (wielding political authority) that the United States was raised up!
But the Scripture foretells that “the deadly wound was healed, and all the world wondered after the beast”. This includes the Lamblike beast, who arose after the Papal power was slain by the sword and went into captivity (Rev. 13:10-11). Of this kingdom, the Scripture tells us “And he exercises all the power of the first beast before him, and causes the earth and all that dwell therein to worship the first beast (the Papal power) whose deadly wound was healed.” (Rev. 13:13) We are told that America, the glorious land, would especially honor the Papacy after his power was restored. After the King of the south was put down to a large degree in communism, the secular power of athiesm’s hold was beginning to unravel, as the Papal king of the north grew progressively stronger.
Yet how could America commit such treason to go against it’s lamblike principles of independence and freedom from priestly intolerance and kingly oppression? Because it has forgotten what the Papacy, and the Jesuits most notably, have always stood for. America was called the “glorious land” because it was a haven for the church to dwell in the land safely at “the time of the end”. It was Protestantism which mapped out the course against priestly intolerance and kingly oppression in Europe, paving the way for liberty of conscience in the United States. James Madison, known as “the Father of the Constitution”, made reference to this from Luther’s doctrine of the two kingdoms requiring separation, church and state, claiming this as America’s system of government. “It illustrates the excellence of a system which, by a due distinction, to which the genius and courage of Luther led the way, between what is due to Caesar and what is due God, best promotes the discharge of both obligations. The experience of the United States is a happy disproof of the error so long rooted in the unenlightened minds of well-meaning Christians, as well as in the corrupt hearts of persecuting usurpers, that without a legal incorporation of religious and civil polity, neither could be supported. A mutual independence is found most friendly to practical Religion, to social harmony, and to political prosperity.” (J. Madison to F.L. Schaeffer, 1821) Thus, the lamblike principles are principles of Protestantism.

KING OF THE NORTHERN TRIBES

It needs to be mentioned that those who had inherited the land of America consisted of the spiritual ten tribes of Israel; it also should be mentioned that although this is spiritual Israel, this is who God has called them to be if they walk in His covenant; so long as there is rebellion, God cannot bless the people, but calls them to recognize their identity. It was professed Christianity which had the glorious honors of receiving the land, not excepting the members of the Roman Catholic church. But it was Protestantism chiefly which erected a standard of freedom and independance. The Reformation church, as noted in the last article, was called the “Sardis” era. The great fault with these churches were there violent rejection and scoffing at the 1844 message of the Day of atonement after proclaiming the date of 1844 but misunderstanding the event which Scripture said was to occur was “the Sanctuary will be cleansed” which they mistakenly believed would be the return of Christ. Christ therefore, called the Protestant churches to repent of there casting off of 1844, or else a great woe would result: “Remember therefore how you have received and heard and hold fast, and repent. If therefore you shall not watch, I will come on you as a thief, and you shall not know what hour I will come upon you.” (Rev. 3:3) They had rejected “the hour of His judgment”, which would cause them to lose sight of the preparation necessary for the coming of Christ, so that they would “not know what hour” His appearing would be. These churches, like the ten tribes who were ennumerated with Jeroboam, a son of Joseph, who was made their king, were ennumerated with the Papacy. Unlike the immediate reign of Jeroboam over the ten tribes, the natural outworkings of rejecting light from heaven would manifest itself in the various churches. Worldliness entered, false doctrine and prophecy with determined efforts to justify it’s inherited heathen doctrines from the Bible, and spiritual manifestations, bringing chaos and confusion, making the church a habitation of demons. It was the anniversary of this event that was carried in the America’s bosom September 24th, 2015. But that these events are connected, 1844 and 2015 in respect to the judgment hour, and what the rejection of the first leads to in respect to the other will be the burden of the next few points to be made.
After the first blood moon in 2014, all of this departure from the Spirit of truth came to it’s logical end. At the Kenneth Copeland Leadership Conference, a message came that was met with eager attention from all, and caused waves in Protestantism, heralding it’s dissolution into the trashheap of history as far as these church leaders were concerned. Anglican Bishop Tony Palmer had claimed to come “in the Spirit of Elijah” to turn the hearts of the churches back to Catholicism, and away from Protestantism. Then, with cheers from the leaders representing large congregations, he declared “Luther’s protest is over. And if Luther’s protest is over, how can there be a Protestant church? Maybe now we are all Catholics again!…The protest is over…”. It happened that the Anglican bishop made a connection between Kenneth Copeland and Pope Francis, who he knew before he was Pope, and brought to the leadership conference a video appeal from the Pope for unity as a family of Israel. He then likened himself to Joseph, who was sold by his brothers into Egyptian captivity. Yet the analogy is strikingly right, with spiritual Egypt being the king of the south, and going into captivity. “Families who come together and families who separate themselves. We are kind of…separated. I am nostalgic (yearning), that this separation comes to an end and gives us communion that the Holy Scripture speaks of when Joseph’s brothers began to starve from hunger. They went to Egypt, to buy, so that they could eat. They went to buy. They had money. But they couldn’t eat the money. But there, they found something more than food, they found their brother… We must cry together like Joseph did. These tears will unite us…”
To like the Roman Catholics to the tribe of Joseph in the ten tribes of Israel is not just a coincidental parallel as we will see more shortly. It was Joseph who was counted as having the rights of the firstborn amongst the northern tribes of Israel. “And they shall divide it into seven parts: Judah shall abide in their coast on the south, and the house of Joseph shall abide in their coasts on the north.”
(Joshua 18:5)
“Now the sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel, (for he was the firstborn; but, forasmuch as he defiled his father’s bed, his birthright was given unto the sons of Joseph the son of Israel: and the genealogy is not to be reckoned after the birthright. For Judah prevailed above his brethren, and of him came the chief ruler; but the birthright was Joseph’s:) ”
(1 Chronicles 5:1-2)

From Judah would come “the Chief Ruler”, the Lion of the Tribe of Judah: the Messiah who would reign over Israel. But Joseph received the pre-eminence, and was counted as the eldest and first amongst the tribes. As such, it was in Judah that the king of Judah, David, would reign on the throne that Messiah will one day reign upon. But when the southern and northern kingdom was divided because of apostasy, it was to Joseph’s seed, Ephraim, that Jeroboam was made king over the ten tribes until they were dispersed for rejecting the prophets.

RENOUNCING THE PROTEST AGAINST THE NORTHERN KING

When it was said by the Anglican bishop “The protest is over…” it was a call to unite with Joseph in Egypt as one Catholic family of tribes, where Joseph would inevitably be the head. This success swept the Protestant community, and many began to renounce Protestantism for the defacto unity with the Pope. However, to renounce the protest is to renounce the principles for which the protest stands. To unite with Catholicism is to consent to her abuses as amenable. Protestantism renounced is religious freedom renounced. Catholicism consented to leads to kingly oppression resurrected. In 2014, just after the first blood moon, the spiritual northern tribes of Israel honored the king of the north, a spiritual Jeroboam, and in 2015, just before the last blood moon, the glorious land, called the lamblike beast, honored the first beast before it.
Protestant America ushered in the Papal power, signalling the apostasy in spiritual Israel, and signifying the abomination of desolation in America. The Pope stood where it ought not, in a Protestant government; and received with great favor, to such an extent as to affect the legislators of the United States. That this took place on the Day of atonement, the anniversary of 1844 is not at all a coincidence; for one signifies the beginning of the judgment of the dead, and the other indicates that America, the glorious land, has come to the bar of judgment in the heavenly courts.
From this point forward in the prophecy of Daniel 11, classified under the King of the north’s power is apostate Protestantism. The power that the Papal Northern King exercised in Europe, his principles shall be honored and exercised by the Protestant northern tribes in America; while America is the glorious land, when it fails to walk in it’s glory, the lamblike features which gave it prosperity and power shall cease, and this development of national apostasy will wax stronger until it leads to national ruin, as with Jerusalem of old.
The era of spiritual Jeroboam as king over Israel has, since 2014-2015 has effectually begun, and waxed stronger amongst the churches. Like when Clovis was converted to Catholicism, and soon after made war, henceforth, rapid events begin to fulfill, bringing the Papal power back to political supremacy, the Protestant denominations renouncing the protest and embracing Catholicism, and Protestantism uniting with America in exercising state power. Such is the results when the restraining power of Christ’s Spirit is removed from the hearts of the rejectors of His mercy and truth.
“…these shall escape out of his hand, even Edom, and Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon.” The Northern king shall not extend his hand over all the nations in this kingly (and apostate) inheritance. When the tribes came into the glorious land of Canaan (Jerusalem and it’s surrounding cities), Moses instructed them that they were not to touch three countries which were not given them to inherit. “And command thou the people, saying, Ye are to pass through the coast of your brethren the children of Esau (Edomites), which dwell in Seir; and they shall be afraid of you: take ye good heed unto yourselves therefore: Meddle not with them; for I will not give you of their land, no, not so much as a foot breadth; because I have given mount Seir unto Esau for a possession…distress not the Moabites, neither contend with them in battle: for I will not give thee of their land for a possession; because I have given Ar unto the children of Lot for a possession…nd when thou comest nigh over against the children of Ammon, distress them not, nor meddle with them: for I will not give thee of the land of the children of Ammon any possession; because I have given it unto the children of Lot for a possession. ” (Deuteronomy 2:4-5,9,19 )

When the King of the north is taking possession of the lands, and chiefly the glorious land of America in his conquest to have all under his apostate banner, some countries, whose cup of iniquity is not full before the Lord (Gen. 15:16), shall be as “cities of refuge” which the Lord Himself shall choose to disclose at their proper times to the saints. It was only when iniquity was full that the country was delivered into the hands of the possessors. Even so, in Daniel 8:23-25, we’re told, “And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce counterance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up (reign). And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power: and he shall destroy wonderfully and shall prosper and practice, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people. And through his policy (law) also he shall cause devices to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many…”

JOSEPH’S POWER OVER EGYPT THAT NO MAN MIGHT BUY OR SELL

In like manner, the Papal king shall overtake young and old, free and bound, rich and poor of the most secular countries, and they shall not escape. Though, like with France and Russia, there is resistance, the sword of the Papal power will demand conformity to the apostate religion of Catholic and Protestant alike or killed. Egypt shall give “power over the treasures of gold and of silver, and over all the precious things”; Egypt, while it denotes prophetically the atheistic/communistic/secular powers who are enemies of the cross of Christ, the prophetic identity of the Pharaoh according to Scripture is even more striking. “Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, Pharaoh king of Egypt, the great dragon that lies in the midst of his rivers, which has said, My river is mine, and I’ve made it for myself.” (Ezekiel 29:3) The Pharaoh is called “the great dragon”; prophetically the book of Revelation speaks of the dragon in two ways: (1) Satan and his fallen angels **Revelation 12:9. (2) The kingdoms under Satan’s explicit control to do his bidding on the earth.
Thus it was that the Papal beast who received the deadly wound in 1798 had received “his power, and his seat, and great authority” from the dragon. (Revelation 13:2) Thus symbolizing how Empirical Rome gave the Roman state to be under the control of the Papacy, the king of the north in 538AD.
But now, it’s wound is healed, and the entire world on the side of the Papacy, Protestants included, the dragon shall yield to the apostate power, and give full reigns over the economy of buying and selling.
This also happened in Egypt. A great famine came into the land and only in Egypt could bread be found because of the foreknowledge of Joseph regarding the famine. “And when all the land of Egypt was famished, the people cried to Pharaoh for bread: and Pharaoh said unto all the Egyptians, Go unto Joseph; what he says to you, that do…And Joseph opened all the storehouses, and sold unto the Egyptians; and the famine waxed sore in the land of Egypt. And all countries came into Egypt to Joseph for to buy…” (Gen. 41:55-57) Joseph was given power over all the economy of Egypt. To receive bread, you had to buy from him.
And the Jesuit Pope likened himself to Joseph, which prophetically is exactly what he represents; the apostate tribe of Joseph. As Joseph had married the daughter of a heathen priest, even so, the early Christian church married itself to paganism, imbibing it’s customs and idols under a profession of Christianity. As Joseph was sold by his brothers; so the other Protestant churches sought to cast off unbiblical Papal policy. And as Joseph went into the southern country of Egypt as captive. The Papal power was prophesied to “go into captivity” under the king of the south, spiritual Egypt.

A BETTER GLORIOUS LAND: THE FINAL DELIVERANCE

And lastly, as Joseph foreknew by the revelation of God, does not the Jesuit Pope know the devices which the Jesuits have long laid out to catch the world in it’s snare? This being led into Egypt led to the Israelites going into Egyptian captivity from which they needed to be delivered to go to the glorious land, Canaan. This happened to Europe in the oppression of the Papacy, from which they needed to be delivered to go to the glorious land, America. But when America begins to follow the course of old Europe in exercising the oppressive power of the Papacy, a new deliverance of God’s people will be required; a calling out from the northern kingdoms shall take place on a worldwide scale that we may enter into the glorious land in heavenly places, the place prepared for us by God, “a city…whose Builder and Maker is God” (Heb. 11:10)
Likewise, the son of Joseph, being Jeroboam, had the kingship over the ten tribes, the Papal priesthood has authority over the churches. “And Jeroboam ordained a feast in the eighth month, on the fifteenth day of the month, like unto the feast that is in Judah, and he offered upon the altar…even in the month which he had devised of his own heart, and ordained a feast unto the children of Israel.” (1 Kings 12:32-33) Jeroboam had it in his heart to “think to change times and laws” and had authority to “ordain a feast” for all of Israel to observe on the month after “the feast that is in Judah” on the seventh month. The Papal power has clearly changed the divine calendar, and the appointed times of worship ordained in creation and redemption by Jehovah. Specifically, he has set aside the seventh-day Sabbath, and commands the Christian world to observe Sunday, the day after the Sabbath, the first day of the week.
This law of spiritual Jeroboam, of Joseph, will be made compulsory by the apostate “tribes of Israel” for any who would buy or sell.

THE FINAL SCENES ARE RAPIDLY FULFILLING

The once-glorious land of America is even now under the influence of apostate Protestantism under the presidency of Donald J. Trump. These “faith advisors” to the president seem to have no trouble in exercising the authority of the church over the state, and thereby utilizing the state power to their own ends. Of America’s authority being exercised, the lamblike beast will “speak as a dragon”, as Pharoah, “saying to them that dwell on the earth that they should make image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.” (Rev. 13:14) Thus, they will make an image to the Papal beast, whose deadly wound was healed, of church & state union. Thus does it speak as a dragon; the lamblike church will utilize dragonlike force under the threat of no longer being able to buy or sell, which is the very authority under the King of the north. “And he (Apostate-Protestant America) 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.”
(Revelation 13:16-17)
As spiritual Egypt confers this honor upon the Papal King of the north, every other country shall follow in the steps of Egypt; it is thus that “the Libyans and the Ethiopians shall be at his steps.”

THE KING OF THE SOUTH & THE TWO WITNESSES

“And at the time of the end shall the king of the south push at him” signifies the heavy aggression forced upon the Papacy. At the end of the “many days” which the Scripture signified the Papal reign to occur. According to the explanation given in Daniel 12, from the time of verse 31 until 39 there would be 1290 prophetic days (1290 years). This began with France in 508 AD, and would expired in 1798 AD.

France has been called “the eldest daughter of the Catholic church” for her involvement in raising the Papal king of the north to new heights. Only 30 years later, 1260 years remaining in the Papal reign, and the king of the north had control over all of Europe. This period is referred to as forty-two months in the Scripture in Revelation 11:2 (42×30=1260). In Revelation 11, during this time, it speaks of the “two witnesses” of the Lord. Many privately interpret these verses to mean some obscure figure at the end of time, but Scriptural evidence explains itself so we needn’t privately interpret anything. These “two witnesses” are declared to be “the two candlesticks” who give testimony during this parcel of prophetic time during Papal rule.
Who are the “two candlesticks”? They are two of the “seven candlesticks which…are the seven churches.” (Rev. 1:20) These seven churches represent seven church eras; two of these church movements, as explained in the previous verses of Daniel 11, existed in this time. Thyatira (The Waldensian/Wilderness church) and Sardis (The Reformation/Protestant church). These “candlesticks” receive their oil, signified by the Spirit of God, from the two olive trees of Revelation 11, which are the Scriptures of the old and new testament. Both the Wilderness church and the Reformation church gave their respective testimonies. The Waldenses upheld the commandments of God, and the faith once delivered to the saints as inherited from the apostles. The Reformation church called to account various phases of compromise which the Catholic church had made down the centuries. But it says “when they shall have finished their testimony”, a power called in Scripture “the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit” would arise to make war against them, to overcome them, and kill them; yet not only them, but would fight against the king of the north.
This power that arises “spiritually is called…Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.” (Rev. 11:8) Anciently, the king of the south had been associated with the Ptolemaic reign in Egypt, being south of the chosen people; whereas Seleucus was in the northern regions of Jerusalem, where Assyria and Babylon were located. When probation closed for the city and sanctuary of the Jews for rejecting the Messiah, the faithful among them who embraced the Messiah were “scattered abroad”, and “went every where preaching the Word.” (Acts 8:1-4) The message was received by the Gentiles, and from that point on, the blessing took on a spiritual significance, rather than a physical locality. This, this power that arose at the end of the two witnesses’ testimony would be the defining principle for the king of the south, called spiritual Egypt. Who was this power that made war with the witnesses of God on the earth and the Papacy at the end of the 1260 years? It was the principle of secularism/atheism begun by the French revolution.

THE PRINCIPLES OF EGYPT

It was the policy of the Catholic church, under the profession of reverence for the Scriptures, to secure it by translating it into an unknown tongue. By this means, darkness filled the earth, and a man-made interpretation was placed upon the Scriptures. The power of atheism which arose made explicit it’s war against the Scriptures. Speaking of these witnesses, who signified the church and the Scriptures, we are told that “their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city…Egypt…they of the people, kindreds, tongues, and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and a half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves.” (Rev. 11:9) For three and a half prophetic days, the French revolution in France violently shed the blood of both saints and papists alike in it’s war against religion.
The principle of atheism finds a fitting symbol in Egypt, whose Pharaoh boldly denied the existence of the God of heaven. The Pharaoh, when answering Moses brought to him the Word of God, answered him, “Who is Jehovah, that I should hearken to His voice to let Israel go? I know not Jehovah, and moreover, I will not let Israel go.” (Exodus 5:2) The repeated manifestations of power by the God of heaven were rebelled against, and the Pharaoh hardened his heart against the God of heaven where He had given the most decided evidence of His revelation. Even so, Atheism (which means “Without God” in the Greek) was building upon the same principles which the Pharaoh, Amenhotep II, had built upon.
It is said of the Revolution that “France is the only nation in the world concerning which the authentic record survives, that as a nation she lifted her hand in open rebellion against the Author of the universe. Plenty of blasphemers, plenty of infidels, there have been, and still continue to be, in England, Germany, Spain, and elsewhere; but France stands apart in the world’s history as the single state which, by the decree of her Legislative Assembly, pronounced that there was no God, and of which the entire population of the capital, and a vast majority elsewhere, women as well as men, danced and sang with joy in accepting the announcement.” (Blackwood’s Magazine, November, 1870) Bibles were burned, reason was made supreme, and blood washed down the streets of France.
Yet in all of this, it was the policy of the Papal power that had begun the work which atheism was completing. This may be evidenced by the very foundation the Papal power was building upon from Daniel 11:36-39. The principles of doing “according to his will”, “exalting himself, and magnify himself above every god”, speaking “marvelous things against the God of gods”, not having a regard for any god, and magnifying himself above everything, in disregard to the law of God and casting aside the plain utterances of Scripture, and even burning the Scriptures of the Protestants, translated into the common tongue of the people; these were the principles hewn out by 360 years of apostasy, especially marked out by France, where the sword of persecution was first unsheathed by Clovis and his army. It was this, and the centuries in which these principles were fiercely defended and strengthened that led to their logical end, which was necessarily atheism.
The Scripture declares regarding these two witnesses that “if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed.” The example of persecution which the priests in France had exhibited for so many ages was now returned upon them with signal vigor. The scaffolds ran red with the blood of the priests. The galleys and the prisons, once crowded with Huguenots (French Protestants), were now filled with their persecutors. Chained to the bench and toiling at the oar, the Roman Catholic clergy experienced all those woes which their church had so freely inflicted on the saints.
It was this which led to the conclusion of the matter. In 1798, “the king of the south shall push at him”, the Papal king of the north. Napoleon’s general, Louis-Alexandre Berthier took Pope Pius VI captive, thereby putting an end to the political influences the church had once exercised over the kings of the earth; this event in prophecy is called “the deadly wound” (click here for more information). This push signified “the time of the end”. From this time forward, secularism and atheism would slowly gain it’s ascendency, and be the primary force at-hand to keep the Pope’s authority from being restored.

THE TIME OF THE END

As this date of 1798 is the expiry of the seven times of judgment upon Israel, which began in 722 through the king of Assyria, where paganism reigned for 1260 years, and papalism reigned for 1260 years. This time of kingly dominion over the church because of breaking the everlasting covenant was now at it’s end. The reformation church (Sardis), being the primary church in existence at this time, became heir to the calling of spiritual Israel: the ten tribes. “The time of the end” referred to here does not speak specifically to the end of the age, but rather Gabriel is here speaking to Daniel of what should “befall thy people in the latter days” due to the captivity (Daniel 11:14). As such, it is the time of the end of the captivity of the ten tribes. These ten tribes identity, being spiritually identified, therefore may be found in the people that upheld the Scriptures who existed from 1798 onward.

COMMUNISM: THE KING OF THE SOUTH

Then came the next development when Karl Marx pushed the ideology of communism from 1843-1848. From 1837-1843, Charles Darwin would begin to formalize and develop his theory of natural selection; and in 1844, the theory of evolution was presented by Charles Darwin in his book “The Origin of Species”. It was not long after this that the Papal power, being confined to the Vatican, would lose even the Vatican in 1870 through a growing push for secularism in Italy. All of these were hewn out to develop the spiritual Egypt that has pushed so aggressively against the Papacy to keep it’s power from reviving. Yet as the ancient kings of the north and south had oppressive measures enacted against the people of God, who were caught in the midst of the struggle, even so, the secularism has made efforts to restrain freedom of speech, remove individual religion from the governmental sector, banning an individual’s observance of their faith in a scholastic setting, and even reprimand the mentioning of the Bible until the people of God have felt the need to restrain the expression of their faith, that they might “not give what is holy to dogs…lest they…turn, and tear you to pieces.” (Matt. 7:6) The mere mention of God was Christ, stirring up the natural enmity in the carnal heart, is despised. Every advanced step from this secular power has manifested more oppressive and restrictive measures against God’s people, and the people of faith generally.
These oppressive principles became enshrined in several countries of the world; one of the most notable ones being the Soviet Union. It was in Russia that a communistic form of pushed itself onto the world stage, beginning in 1917. It waxed strong in the spirit of Egypt, taking over a signifant part of eastern European territory where once the Papacy had reigned, as well as part of eastern of Asia. For these reasons, the pushing at the king of the north maintained it’s strength to a considerably large extent.

THE PUSH: THE KING OF THE NORTH

Yet the tide would turn upon the south. We’re told that “the king of the north shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter into the countries, and shall overflow and pass over.” How would the northern king, the Papacy, come against the south? In many ways, over a gradual progression of time and events which took place establishing papal favor, and a gradual shattering of the iron shackles of the arm of atheism would take place.
In Pope Pius IX’s 1864 Syllabus of Errors, he condemned the growing secular nature of Italy, excommunicating the king of Italy, and directly ordered Catholics to abstain from participation in the political involvement and voting of the “godless” Italian state. He had already condemned more than eighty “errors and perverse doctrines” including separation of church and state, a free press and secular education. Taking in much more than the Vatican, the Papal states were dissolved, and Pius IX was made a prisoner of the Vatican, holding out the territory by refusing to allow the small portion of land to be seized from him; though Italy no longer recognized the Pope’s former title of “King of Rome”.
In 1929, in hopes of dissolving the Catholic Italian Popular Party in parliament, a negiotiation was made between Benito Mussolini and Pius XI. An agreement was made to restore diplomatic authority to the Pope, securing the Vatican as independant from the Kingdom of Italy on condition that Piux XI ordered the dissolution of the Catholic parliamentary party in Italy. The Pope agreed, and would set up an Absolute monarchial theocracy at the Vatican. The agreement signed at the Lateran palace in Rome, called the Lateran Treaty, was signed in February 11th, 1929, “in the name of the Most Holy Trinity”; hearkening back to the old Nicene Creed of the days of Constantine. Roman Catholicism was not only to be the ruling power of the Vatican, but also was the church of Italy. By this agreement, the holidays of the church were enforced throughout Italy, churches were fined, and in some cases, shut down altogether from operation. It was not uncommon to see the Pope making demands of Mussolini to gain a stronger hold over Italy.
In a large measure, this was how the king of the north would “enter into the countries, and pass over, and overflow.” Through these diplomatic relations, the Pope had ties with 27 nations in 1929 and in 2017 this number grew to 183. These relations resulted in meetings of the various heads of states across the world with the Pope as the sovereign of the Vatican. Thus, the king of the North makes his voice heard in over half of the countries in the world. While some firm diplomatic immunities exist in Italy for the Pope, the church’s authority over the Italian state was dissolved in the 1980’s, as it’s ties in world affairs became immeasurably strong.

THE THREE-STEP NORTHERN DELUSION

In the land where the few remaining Visigoths had occupied, they renounced their non-trinitarian position, and gradually embraced the Catholic faith, with it’s Trinitarianism. The land was named Portugal. In the countries that had the greatest opportunities, the curse of God would be more readily felt; a marked judgment felt across Europe struck the heart of Portugal, known as the Lisbon earthquake of 1755. Portugal’s people, with their privileges and opportunities having been slighted, were to be given over to Satan’s delusions in a marked manner.
The sign of satanic manifestation occurred in 1916-1917. Three young shepherd girls were visited by Satan, “transformed into an angel of light” (2 Cor. 11:14) three times. The angel was described as “A light whiter than snow in the form of a young man, transparent and brighter than crystal, pierced by the rays of the sun.” He knelt with the children and showed them how they ought to pray “Most Holy Trinity…And, through the infinite merits of… the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I beg of You the conversion of poor sinners.” Both the Trinity and the worship of Mary would be bound up together as mentioned in the explanation of verses 36-39. Yet Mary is known as the one who the Catholics consecrate lands to; she is the god of strongholds. Yet after this, a more striking and more subtle delusion takes place after the third time the angelic visitation takes place, laying the foundation of a sweeping endtime delusion in fulfillment of prophecy regarding “the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders…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.”(2 Thessalonians 2:9-12)

In Fatima, Portugal in 1917, the same year that communist Russia arose, an apparition claiming to be the Virgin Mary appeared to the three children. Then this satanic apparition declares a message that she is greatly concerned about the separation of souls from God through atheism, agnosticism, political or economic systems that have denied God, and through various systems of doctrine and dogma. She then proceeds to give three prophesies, called “the secrets of Fatima”, that were “what is needed for the turning point…the turning point in world history.”
What turning point in world history? The restoration of the Papal supremacy on the earth as the King of the North, and overthrowing the King of the South. The apparition spoke of three events which would inevitably work in favor of Catholicism, and spoke of a sign which would be fulfilled in October. At this, over 70,000 people came to Fatima, where it seemed that the “sun danced”, beginning to spin and tremble for ten minutes, and “everything was becoming darkened.” Like Constantine’s sign which he witnessed in the sun, even so, this sign, accepted by the Catholic church, began to be received by many around the world in favor of the Catholic church. It was only a year later when the Spanish flu, taking an estimated 100,000,000 lives, swept through the land, and had put to death two of the children who were entrusted with the Fatima message.
The three “secrets” began with a vision of hellfire, of souls being tormented in groans and pains, where demons filled with shrieks of despair. Thus it was that the living child reported “horrified us and made us tremble with fear.” Then the apparition promises that she would take the three children to heaven, thus securing their sense of peace and safety in Mary, and away from “the only true God, and Jesus Christ” (John 17:3). The purpose of striking a fear of the wrathful and avenging tyrant they suppose to be God. “You have seen hell where the souls of poor sinners go,” said the apparition, “To save them, God wishes to establish in the world devotion to my Immaculate Heart. If what I say to you is done, may souls will be saved, and there will be peace.” Thus we see that it is to the Virgin Mary, that devotion must be established in the world to “save” souls, by forcing men to turn from their sins. Thus the Pope would honor the god of strongholds by consecrating all the world to her.

THE EUROPEAN UNION FOR CHURCH & STATE

Then the apparition says that World War I “is going to end: but if people do not cease offending God, a worse one will break out…” It was this second world war that laid the foundation for establishing the European Union. In his war-time message, Pius had called for an international order and the establishment of international organizations. It has been thoroughly documented how Pacelli was involved in helping Hitler rise to power in favor of the church, but refused to condemn the persecution taking place against the Jews. On December 24th, 1942 at the persistent demand from world leaders, the Pope issued a statement declaring that it was departing from “divine law” that had caused this tragedy. He futher declared that devoted men owed a vow to bring society “back to it’s immovable center of gravity in divine law. Humanity owes this vow to those hundreds of thousands who…are marked down for death or gradual extinction.” He then made the appeal for seeing “the Christian conception of the state” power to “its proper function”, to “use every effort to stamp out the errors which cause the State and its authority to depart from the path of moral rectitude…” “in the crusade for a new and noble social order, [to] raise the new standard of moral and Christian regeneration, you must declare war upon the darkness of apostasy from God, upon the coldness of fraternal discord; you must wage war in the name of a humanity which is grievously sick, a humanity which must be healed in the name of the Christian conscience.”
It was after the war, in hopes of keeping the nations of Europe accountable to prevent another world war, the Council of Europe was formed, and in 1955, the flag of the council was created consisting of twelve stars, in honor of Mary. On the twenty-fifth anniversary of the Fatima apparition, on October 31, 1942 Pius XII consecrated the Church and the whole world to Mary, joined by the bishops of Portugal, gathered at the Cathedral in Lisbon. On 13 June 1957 he demanded a united Europe, aware of its foundations, with common institutions, a common foreign policy, and a strong European parliament to control the institutions and the council of ministers. In the same year, this took place, following the signing of the Treaty of Rome which formalized the European Union, he received the heads of government and State of the newly founded European Union, to express his gratification and give his blessings. The Pope’s successor on September 2, 1958 released a 20 meter statue of Mary, calling it “Our Beloved Lady, Ruler of Europe.”
The reason for the formation of the European Union was not hidden, as the political leaders who founded it were overwhelmingly Catholic. Robert Schuman of France was strongly devoted to Mary, and said “Europe [is] the establishment of a generalized democracy in the Christian sense of the word.” He affirmed publicly that Papal encyclicals “define Catholic docrine and bind in conscience.” With Konrad Adenauer (Germany) and Alcide de Gaspari (Italy) being heavily influenced by the teaching of Pope Leo XIII that it was their duty to see “the restoration, both in rulers and peoples, of the principles of the Christian life in civil and domestic society”, they set out towards the uniting Europe to this end. It was their purpose to enshrine in their democracy the Roman Catholic faith, and to have a United Europe which would stand against the growing forces of communism. Thus, the European Union itself is representative of the king of the north, even as communist Russia was for the south.
Pope Paul VI said in 1975 on European unification: “Can it not be said that it is faith, the Christian faith, the Catholic faith that made Europe?”.The pope Paul VI also said:”It is there that our mission as bishops in Europe takes on a gripping perspective. No other human force in Europe can render the service that is confided to us, promoters of the faith, to re-awaken Europe’s Christian soul, where its unity is rooted.”
Thus, the second “secret” of Fatima led to the formation of the European Union at the demand of the Pope, and according to the devices which the church forecasting in the past. From this time, there were two significant points mentioned by the apparition. How did Satan know what should come to pass? It was evident that he knew the prophetic message of Daniel, and was seeking to deceive as many as possible regarding it. We know this because Satan was seeking to hinder the going forth of the decree to restore and rebuild Jerusalem, and even set up an anti-Jewish usurper to the throne of Medo-Persia to prevent the decree from taking place. Now that the prophecy of Daniel is under such significant fulfillment, the Scripture tells us he seeks to deceive as many as he can into siding with him, “because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.” (Rev. 12:13) If he cannot hinder the divine purpose, he will seek to twist as many minds as possible against it by foretelling the same events, but setting them forth in a false light in favor of apostate darkness.

THE FALL OF COMMUNISM & THE UNHOLY ALLIANCE

Said the apparition: “I shall come to ask for the consecration of Russia to my Immaculate Heart… If my requests are heeded, Russia will be converted, and there will be peace; if not, she will spread her errors throughout the world, causing wars and persecutions of the Church… In the end, my Immaculate Heart will triumph. The Holy Father will consecrate Russia to me, and she shall be converted, and a period of peace will be granted to the world.” You may notice that in the controversy, that the archdeceiver is not certain of whether or not the purposes will be fulfilled so quickly, because he needs the fallen churches to be in full cooperation with the Fatima apparition’s prophetic mission to deceive. Thus he will continue to use communism to persecute and cause war until his church is in harmony with his dark purposes, then he will restrain communism to bring his devices to pass. It is evident based on the words of the apparition that the devil knows that the king of the north will eventually “triumph”.
On January 10th, 1984, the United States announced the establishment of diplomatic relations with the Vatican. Only three months later on March 25, 1984, Pope John Paul II again performed the consecration of the world, and implicitly Russia, to “the Immaculate Heart of Mary” before an idol of the Virgin Mary of Fatima brought to Saint Peter’s Square; called the “program of Marian consecration and entrustment.” Thus, the god of fortresses/strongholds finds a compelling fulfillment in the veneration and worship of Mary.
It was around this time that Pope John Paul II when he worked together with Ronald Reagan, president of the United States, to see the Soviet Union fall, which took place in 1989. Said the National Security Adviser of Ronald Reagan: “This was one of the great secret alliances of all time.” He further stated that “a unity of spiritual view and a unity of vision on the Soviet empire: that right or correctness would ultimately prevail in the divine plan.” Time Magazine dubbed it “A Holy Alliance”. How secret was the matter? The Pope did many secret things to see the communist regime fall, by “supporting political activities: distributing printing machines of all kinds, giving us a place for underground meetings, organizing special demonstrations.” (Wojciech Adamiecki, Organizer & Editor of various underground Solidarity newspapers) Through books, communication equipment, propaganda, ink and printing presses, the king of the North entered into the king of the south’s realm to overthrow it. “Nobody believed the collapse of communism would happen this fast or on this timetable,” says a cardinal who is one of the Pope’s closest aides. “But in their first meeting, the Holy Father and the President committed themselves and the institutions of the church and America to such a goal.” America, the land of sovereign independance, the northern kingdom of Israel’s ten tribes inheritance that they may practice their religion without oppression, was a key component in the hand of the Papal king of the north. From this time forward, the Papal power would rapidly begin to rise, and America, as the spiritual “northern kingdom”, would begin to have irrepressibly close ties to the Papacy to fulfill the forty-first verse of Daniel 11 which follows this.

THE JESUIT ORDER

Yet before moving forward to this verse, one other point bears mentioning on Daniel 11:40 of how the king of the north would come against the king of the south “like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with man ships, and shall enter into the countries, and overflow and pass through.” With the establishment of the European Union, another manner in which the king of the north has ascended into power, overflowing the countries of the world, needs mentioning. One of the most successful ways in which the northern king would enter into the various countries is through the Jesuit order. The Jesuit order was well known by kings of Europe, France’s Napoleon and presidents of the United States making special mention of them for their work of subverting nations through their tactics. However, in the present society, the working of this order is so carefully guarded, that it’s purpose are almost wholly unknown in our day, were it not for certain explicit moves being made in the present time in churches and nations being uncovered, as well as the dark history of it’s past movements.
The order was designed specifically as a militia of the Catholic church; it’s mission to bring the Catholic church back into ascendancy in the nations, working their way into countries with no ties to Catholicism, becoming established as counsellors of kings, presidents, and prime ministers, if not into those very offices themselves. It was a decided purpose of the order to instigate war to the establishment of various ends which would favor the Catholic church. By this, the European Union had further grounds for it’s establishment. So firmly laid out were the designs of this order, that when they had positioned the churches and countries where they felt they should be, the devil removed the current Pope through his resignation, and placed a Jesuit, Pope Francis, to complete the work which the Jesuits had for years been laying the foundation for.
It became evident that this foundation was laid in the dark, but now, the purposes of the king of the north were to advance in a startingly rapid manner. It had only been two years since the European Union had signed the Lisbon Treaty in 2011, which secured a single president over the entire European Union. Several other key presidential positions of economy, an foreign relations had been created in previous treaties had been assigned, but this had proven the most powerful position hithertofore.
In shocking dismay, the British prime minister, Nigel Farage, with several other members of the E.U. Parliament saw that their vote against the president was disregarded. When seeing the selection of the president, who was a man who had appeared on the world stage without any former recognition by the European people. His name was Herman Van Rompuy. Said the British MP in outrage, “I would like to ask you Mr. President. Who are you? I have never heard of you. Nobody in Europe had ever heard of you! Who voted for you?” He then began before the members of the Parliament to call out the president, asking “Is this European democracy? I sense that you are competent, and capable, and dangerous. And I have no doubt that it is your intention to be the quiet assassin of European democracy and the European nation states…” In several press releases from the E.U. and several Catholic European newspapers, after the rise of the Jesuit Pope Francis, Herman Van Rompuy announced, “We are all Jesuits” in reference to those prominent European leaders with whom he was developing the architecture for the future Europe. “It creates unbreakable ties. So there is a ‘Jesuits International.'” He then named several members of the European Union parliament, alongside the Chairman of the Euro group, the president of the European Central Bank, and the president of the European Commission. Thus the Jesuits have been the vanguard of the apostate church, and are driving the European Union through the progression of treaties back under the black banner of the king of the north.

THE REBIRTH OF THE EUROPEAN UNION

The last act of Van Rompuy’s presidency was to have Pope Francis address the European Union members of parliament. Addressing the leaders, he said: “I am likewise convinced that a Europe which is capable of appreciating its religious roots and of grasping their fruitfulness and potential, will be all the more immune to the many forms of extremism spreading in the world today, not least as a result of the great vacuum of ideals which we are currently witnessing in the West, since “it is precisely man’s forgetfulness of God, and his failure to give him glory, which gives rise to violence… I consider to be fundamental not only the legacy that Christianity has offered in the past to the social and cultural formation of the continent, but above all the contribution which it desires to offer today, and in the future, to Europe’s growth.” This was in addition to the statement he gave only days before, calling for Europe to return to it’s Catholic roots and heal the deadly wound sustained in 1798: “I believe that Europe has many resources for going forward. It’s like a sickness that Europe has today. A wound. And the greatest resource is the person of Jesus. Europe, return to Jesus! Return to that Jesus whom you have said was not in your roots! And this is the work of the pastors: to preach Jesus in the midst of these wounds. I have spoken of only a few, but there are tremendous wounds.”
Only two years later, his appeal was similar, and would meet with much greater success. When giving an address at the reception of the Charlemagne Prize on May 6th, 2016, he said, “To the rebirth of a Europe weary, yet still rich in energies and possibilities, the Church can and must play her part. Her task is one with her mission: the proclamation of the Gospel, which today more than ever finds expression in going forth to bind the wounds of humanity with the powerful yet simple presence of Jesus, and His mercy that consoles and encourages. God desires to dwell in our midst, but He can only do so through men and women who, like the great evangelizers of this continent…live for the Gospel, seeking nothing else. Only a Church rich in witnesses will be able to bring back the pure water of the Gospel to the roots of Europe. In this enterprise, the path of Christians towards full unity is a great sign of the times and response to the Lord’s prayer ‘that they may all be one’.”

Pope Francis made what seemed like a strong appeal for Europe to return to Christ, and to have the waters of the gospel nourishing the roots of Europe; which is church and state relations, where the church has laws enacted in the civil and social centers which “Christianize” the continent. But Paul said we are not to receive every gospel; “For if ye receive another Jesus, whom ye have not received…or another gospel, which we have not preached, ye might have to bear with it.” (2 Cor. 11:4) Like the waters of the Euphrates, which were diverted from Babylon causing it’s fall, even so, when the Protestants called them to turn from their wickedness and to obey the Scriptures they had kept sealed away from the people, they refused and this inevitiably led to their fall. Yet, even as the loosing of the Scriptures in the hands of the Protestants led to a great revival and the suppression of Papal oppression, the sealing of the truths contained in the Scriptures has led to a growing darkness from the churches showing favor to the apostate church, and aiding it’s rise to power once more. Was that not what happened in Protestant America when Ronald Reagan, a Protestant, joined with the Pope to see communism fall? Indeed, these are signs of the times, but not signs which speak good things.
A year after this appeal of Pope Francis for Europe’s “rebirth” to heal the wounds of a once-Catholic Europe, the members of the European Union called for “a rebirth” of the European Union on the sixtieth anniversary of it’s signing the Treaty of Rome. A five-step process to the European Union rebirth was drawn up, and the European Union president Joseph Muscat, along with the members of the European Parliament went to the Vatican to look for moral leadership from the Jesuit Pope. Muscat said that Pope Francis “that Pope Francis can “provide leadership that politicians miss…I do think he [Pope Francis] is the ultimate world leader that within the circumstances has the skills and the vision to say things that transcend the obvious and banalities we all say in politics.”
Pope Francis received the leaders of the European Union, again appealing that “Christianity…profoundly shaped” Europe. ” In his address, he stated that “Europe has a patrimony (fatherly inheritance) of ideals and spiritual values unique in the world, one that deserves to be proposed once more with passion and renewed vigour, for it is the best antidote against the vacuum of values of our time, which provides a fertile terrain for every form of extremism. These are the ideals that shaped Europe…”
All of these steps have proven to give life to the death-like slumber of the little horn power, which ruled the nations with an iron heel. Yet in all of these developments, there are even more significant events in the following verses which build upon all of these things.

“He shall enter peaceably upon the fattest places of the province” speaks of the spirit of compromise now overtaking the church. Marcus, the bishop in Jerusalem did that which the Christian fathers did not do; in fact, this compromise not even the Jewish fathers had done before them. By him, many Christians, associated as Jews in the minds of the Romans, and unwilling to embrace the newly adopted faith of the league between Hadrian and the paganized Christians were scattered, chased down, persecuted, and put to death. He, the bishop of the churches, “forecast his devices” for a time. To forecast his devices in the original Hebrew means to imagine his intentions, plots. “They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof. Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices. For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them.”
(Proverbs 1:30-32)

This imagining of “their own devices” would continue “for a time”; which in prophecy is 360 years. The league made with Hadrian was in 136 AD. From verse 24-28, it will deal with significant events of the Christian church in relation to the Roman Empire from 136 AD to 496 AD. Thus, from this time of the compromise with emperor, the Christian bishop would imagine his devices of converting the emperor and the empire to Christianity until it begins to take fruition in 495-496 AD, when emperor Clovis of the united French empire was baptized, and 3000 soldiers with him. This spirit of “forecasting” “against the strongholds” can be witnessed and clearly evidenced more and more among the Christian bishops, who had a yearning for attaining to power and authority in Rome. This time would go until an emperor in Rome would be determined regarding the enforcement of the Christian faith.

When the Roman Catholic Emperor Gratian came to power, he published an edict that all the subjects of the empire should profess the faith of the bishops of Rome and Alexandria, which was the Nicene faith. From this time, Trinitarian Christianity remained in ascendancy throughout the empire. He further renounced the high priesthood of Pontifex Maximus as emperor, and conferred this upon the bishops that were in Rome, who had been the most earnest for the Nicene faith. From this time, the bishops of Rome were known as “the popes.”
Gratian’s army had resented him for appearing in public in the dress of Goths, who they had been at war with for six years. One of the Roman generals, named Magnus Maximus, raised up a revolt which ultimately led to his troops abandoning him. From here, the governor of Lyon, France, surrendered him to Andragathius, one of his rebel generals, who assassinated him; thereby fulfilling the words “they that feed on the portion of his (the Roman Emperor’s) meat shall destroy him, and his army shall overflow”.
Theodosius, who Gratian had appointed to command the army; and eventually promoted him to become co-emperor with him, thereby leaving him the kingdom. By him, the first heretic was put to death, while the Edict of Thessalonica dedicated the empire to the Nicene faith of the Trinity. In it were announced the words, “We authorize the followers of this law to assume the title of Catholic Christians;”. Pagan temples were destroyed or closed, holy cites, images and objects of veneration in the empire were destroyed, and made a law which prohibited any public non-Christian religious customs, including visiting the pagan temples; anyone caught practicing contrary to the orthodoxy established under Theodosius was to be put to death. A decree against Manichaeism, a form of Christianity, was issued that all devotees of it’s persuasion should be sentenced to death without rights.
Further than this, an uprising took place in Thessalonica, which led to Theodosius slaughtering over 7000 individuals.
“The anger of the Emperor rose to the highest pitch, and he gratified his vindictive desire for vengeance by unsheathing the sword most unjustly and tyrannically against all, slaying the innocent and guilty alike. It is said seven thousand perished without any forms of law, and without even having judicial sentence passed upon them; but that, like ears of wheat in the time of harvest, they were alike cut down…” (Theodoretus, Ecclesiastical History 5.17) After Theodosius reign, he divided his empire between his two sons, Honorius (Western Rome) and Arcadius (Eastern Rome) to be his successors to the Empire.

This is speaking of the time appointed after the 360 years of forecasting devices was finished, bringing us to 496 AD. At this time, Clovis, the king and unifier of France converted from paganism to Catholicism. A large number of his army would also recognize the Catholic religion as supreme. From this time, he dedicated the nation of France, which by the conquests of Clovis, had consisted of over half of the Roman Empire, to defending the Catholic religion. It was not long until Clovis’ empire was completely converted in 508 AD to the Nicene faith. Thus it was that France, who honored the Pontifex Maximus of Rome, was counted as the king of the north.
Yet south of France were the three non-trinitarian kingdoms, the Visigoths, the Vandals, and the Ostrogoths. The king of the south formerly was a power antagonistic to the people of God; and afterwards, the same would be true. Yet these southern kingdoms “shall not be as the former, or as the latter”.
Clovis issued his army to wage war against Alaric, king of the Visigoths in the Battle of Vouille.

The non-trinitarian Vandals occupied the African border, where the mediterranean sea is. The Vandals from 455-457 had sent a fleet of ships threatening Gaul (France) and Italy. They further sacked Rome, and though the Roman Empire sought to destroy the Vandals by sending thousands of soldiers and ships against them, they could not prevail. The Vandal activity in the Mediterranean, south of France, was so substantial, that the sea’s name was called “Wendelsea”, meaning “Sea of the Vandals”; it was from this sea that the isles of Chittim were located. The Visigoths also included part of the Mediterranean coast of France, and was instigated by the Goths.
Being grieved by this, Clovis would unite with the Papal authority against the holy covenant by enforcing Papal decrees, and had persecuted the anti-Nicene king Alaric to death.

“Arms” or an army would stand on behalf of the Papacy from 508. Forced conversions took place. The Albigenses, non-trinitarian Sabbathkeeping Christians, fled to the French alps. There was no longer freedom for any citizen to be anything in Frankish part of the Roman Empire except a Nicene-honoring Catholic Christian; to be otherwise meant certain death. Before this time, paganism had reigned over the people of God oppressively from generation to generation; now this was being taken away, and Papalism would begin to take his seat as the king of the north. From the time of 508 to 538, a 30 year period, the non-trinitarian kingdoms which kept back the Catholic church’s supremacy for over a century were to be a hindrance no longer.
Citizenship was equated with religion; if any did not become Catholic Christian, they would be put to death. The “Sanctuary of strength” speaks of the heavenly Sanctuary spoke of in Daniel 8 which needed to be cleansed. It was polluted because of the sins of those who took upon themselves the profession of Christ. To take this profession is to enter the Sanctuary; to enter it without the cleansing blood of Christ and without consecration to God was to desecrate it. Forced conversion is not based upon individual heart conversion, but forced outward observances to legislation irrespective of the blood of Christ. By this, the power that claimed so high an authority to change God’s law legislated laws against the observance of the law of God, and instituted the sun worship of Catholicism: “the abomination that maketh desolate”.

The Pope would flatter and honor those who were enforcing the Catholic dogmas upon their subjects, while those kings would honor the Pope’s word in the place of God’s Word. Wickedness overflowed and was strengthened, silencing the voice of reproof. The “people that do know their God” were the Albigenses of France; the Waldenses of Italy; among others who had retreated to the solitary mountains for freedom to worship in accordance with the Scriptures to keep the law of God without persecution. While the Pope’s heart was against the holy covenant, and would do exploits against it in asserting his authority; those who knew their God would honor the blood of the covenant, exalting the authority of God, as doers of the covenant, whose strength was in Christ.

Who shall understand these things? The Scripture tells us, “None of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.” Those who understood were those who had been familiar with the prophecies of the Scripture, especially the prophecies of Daniel. It is this understanding which confirmed them to stand against great persecution for “a time, times, and half a time” (Daniel 7:25). “Many days” is referring to this time prophecy where the king of the north used the sword of the state to make war against the saints of God.

When the faithful people of God were persecuted and tried, their help was found in the reformation. Throughout the Roman Empire/Europe, there were faithful men of God who translated the Scriptures into the common language; in some parts throughout Europe, this even led to spaces of time where religious liberty and freedom of conscience was enjoyed. All of this served to slow the persecution down.
More than this, the warriors of Islam came with a heavy hand upon the Catholic churches, attacking them and driving them away from the true believers, lest they should be overcome.
However, not all that appeared to be help was truly help. Many like Judas would betray the faithful ones with a kiss to the Catholics to be killed, or else to renounce their faith through subtleties. In one such instance, La Trinita, a general for the Papal church, had repeatedly led out armies to the entrance of the valleys where the Waldensian people were. Repeatedly, his army was forced to flee, and he saw a people fierce and determined to not yield their children or families, nor sacrifice their faith; but would rather die than let them into the hands of the Pope and his representatives. So he entered upon them in another manner to deceive them through flatteries.
He sent his secretary, Gastaud, and Jacomel, an inquisitor, prepared with pleasant words of peace which was arrange towards them by the duke and duchess. It was further told to them that if they would only make a few small concessions, leaving their arms, and take them via train to a Catholic mass, for form’s sake, it would be well with them. The pastors and laymen had counselled against taking this course, but nevertheless, many were induced to accept the proposition. After this, they made further concessions to secure terms of peace. They were leavied a heavy sum of money to send away the Papal armies, which required selling their herds. Then after this, were told they must send away their pastors. From this point, they destroyed the crops of corn and oil, and broke their mills in pieces. Forcing them to either starve to death, or submit to Papal authority.

The time of the end would be after the expiration of the many days of sword, fire, and captivity forced upon the saints. The purpose of this captivity was to fully purge out rebellion, and to show clearly what are the consequences of rebellion. Moreover, it showed the heart of rebellion in a most oppressive form. When Israel and Judah had sinned against the God of heaven, bringing themselves under the power of the heathen, it was the divine purpose to “break the pride of their power” (Lev. 26:19), “be reformed…by these things” (v. 23), and to “hearken” to His words, and honor His covenant.
So thoroughly would He permit this to take place, that He might purge His people, “and purify unto Himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.” (Titus 2:14) It was His purpose to bestow the honors of the ten tribes upon men who were prepared to receive it at the time of the end of Israel’s captivity experience which began in 723BC, continued for 1260 years of pagan dominion to 538AD, and would continue for another 1260 years to 1798AD.

Still speaking about the Papacy, we have already spoken at length how the doctrinal position was developed that they should speak against the God of gods; that they “cast down the truth to the ground; and it practised, and prospered.” (Daniel 8:12) It further says of the Papal power that “through his policy he shall cause devices to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes…”; the popes magnified their office even unto the Prince of the covenant, and claimed authority to change the circle wafer into the literal flesh of the Son of God, and to crucify Him at their mass at will.
This prospering shall take place until the indignation is accomplished, which we spoke about in the previous verse. What was the indignation? “O Assyrian, the rod of mine anger, and the staff in their hand is mine indignation…For yet a very little while, and the indignation shall cease.”
(Isaiah 10:5, 25)
It was indignation against Israel for the seven times of 2520 years, consisting of three and a half times of pagan and papal dominion. “And the LORD rooted them out of their land in anger, and in wrath, and in great indignation, and cast them into another land, as it is this day.” (Deut. 29:28) America would be the haven for the reformed spiritual Israel, as the new promised land, which was originally intended to shelter from oppression.
We will speak more at length about the end of the indignation periods in the explanation of Daniel 12.

Here is simply reiterated the reality of the man of sin “who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.” (2 Thes. 2:4) But above this, it refers to the worship of Mary, “the Queen of heaven”, a “strange god, whom he shall acknowledge” which was enshrined in the Papal Trinity doctrine under co-mediatorship. The Papal power has gone to great lengths to have Mary acknowledged and deified by virtue of the false understanding of the person of the Holy Spirit in the Trinity. Here are a few quotes furnished as proof of this:
“Because of Mary’s singular cooperation with the action of the Holy Spirit, the Church loves to pray in communion with the Virgin Mary, to magnify with her the great things the Lord has done for her, and to entrust supplications and praises to her.” (Catechism of the Catholic Church, 2682)

“…the faithful should be carefully instructed about the practice of consecration to the Blessed Virgin Mary…it is, in reality, only analogously a ‘consecration to God,’ and should be expressed in a correct liturgical manner: to the Father, through Christ in the Holy Spirit, imploring the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, to whom we entrust ourselves completely, so as to keep our baptismal commitments and live as her children.” (An Introduction to the Liturgy. IV, 1986)

It is customary in the Catholic church to consecrate all lands “strongholds” to Mary. The consecration of cities and regions to the Virgin Mary dates back to around the 9th century AD. A great number of lands in Europe were also consecrated to Mary. This practice has been resurrected in the last century with most startling implications. This “god of forces” can also be translated “goddess of strongholds” in the Hebrew.

In the Catholic Catechism, quoting from Pope Paul VI, it states: “The Church’s devotion to the Blessed Virgin is intrinsic to Christian worship.”… “in the glory of the Most Holy and Undivided Trinity,”…the Church is awaited by the one she venerates… as her own mother.” (Catholic Catechism, Art. IX, 971-972)

“What will it cost you, oh Mary, to hear our prayer? What will it cost you to save us? Has not Jesus placed in your hands all the treasures of His grace and mercy? You sit crowned Queen at the right hand of your son: your dominion reaches as far as the heavens and to you are subject the earth and all creatures dwelling thereon. Your dominion reaches even down into the abyss of hell, and you alone, oh Mary, save us from the hands of Satan.” Pope Pius Xl

But while this speaks of Mary, as noted earlier, this is spoken about the co-mediatorship of the Holy Spirit, which leads to the worship of men who are believed to have that Spirit in them. Thus it says in the acknowledging of this God of strongholds, chiefly manifested in the veneration of Mary and the Bishop of Rome, but then acknowledges this “God” as “them”. “He (The Pope) shall cause them to rule over many, and shall divide the land for gain…”; this does not speak of Mary alone, but of all the saints which are venerated and honored in the Catholic church. The whole earth has been divided and dedicated to the saints of the Catholic church. Whole countries have been dedicated to patron and protecting saints as tutelary deities. The country has been divided up, and cities have been consecrated to different saints as witness in our land-San Francisco, St. Louis, St. Paul, St. Augustine, St. Joseph, St. John, St. Mary, And the earth, its countries, its cities, have not only been parceled out to the saints but to clericals of various ranks, the representatives of the Papacy and always and ever to the gain of the Papacy.
