WHY THE VATICAN HATES THE REMNANT
(Prophecy
speaks of Twin Towers)
First off I would like to wholeheartedly declare my deepest condolences for all the families affected by the cowardly acts of those terrorists last Tuesday. It is a sad thing to think that some would go so far as to kill the completely innocent all for the sake of what they believe to be the will of their god. In this broadcast I would like to share with you graphic proof that what happened last Tuesday was prophesied to occur many years ago. But first, we must understand why it's possible for a nation that is known to be Christian missed such an open and obvious warning. It has to do with how the men of God in this nation and all the nations of the World have decided to despise prophecy. Some have even gone so far as to re-write the Word of God so as to prevent not only prophecy from being understood, but also basic doctrinal issues as well.
As many students of History as well as Prophecy are aware, the Vatican placed the Bible on the list of forbidden books back in 1229AD in the Council of Valencia preventing all laymen access to the Bible for an obvious reason. The Bible contains a bevy of instructions for the Christian walk as well as a 100% accurate expose' on the Antichrist and all his actions, desires, and movements. Seeing how the Vatican is the home of Antichrist, they must do everything in their power to remove any and all evidence against them. As we know, a large portion of those killed by the Roman Catholic church during the dark ages were killed because of their faith in the Jesus that is described in the Bible. That same Bible caused countless millions to realize that the Jesus of the Bible and the Jesus of Catholicism were in no way related. In most cases, the only similarity between the two Jesus' was His name and name alone.
My point is this. The Roman Catholic church is one that will declare Christianity, but only in the way that appeals to those it speaks to. You can see this in the way their own priests embrace alcohol, cigarettes, movie theaters, unclean foods, gambling, foul jokes, and so on and so on. You can also see this graphic fact in the way Vatican declares dogma. For example, in 593AD the Vatican under the direction of Gregory the great declared all Catholics must embrace the Pagan belief of Purgatory. However, it was not considered Roman Catholic dogma until the year 1439AD in the Council of Florence. The suggestion was made to the people in 593AD and then the church watched the people. The new Pagan ritual was mentioned, used in sermons, published in writings, spoken in council, it was literally placed into the lives of all Catholics so much that they eventually had no choice but to belief it as Roman Catholic dogma. Think about it, 846 years went by before the Council of Florence decided that all Catholics have now been sufficiently "educated" into believing that Purgatory, a once Pagan belief, was now an accepted and Vatican taught article of faith to be embraced by all those claiming the church of Rome as their own. In my book entitled "The Second Window" I have a list of papal declarations that later became Catholic dogma in my historic section of the book.
What we see here is an ingenious method by which to get a people to ignore "what saith the Lord" for "what saith the Pope" and when you have over a billion strong embracing this lie, you tend to become a bit protective. That is why those that embrace the written Word of God as an infallible and constant source of Truth are considered heretics and extremely dangerous to the Pope and all he hopes to accomplish. Even prophecy has seen this as fact, in Revelation 12:17 we read that, "...the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ."
In prophecy we find a dragon = Satan
Revelation 12:9, "And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him."
In prophecy we find a Woman = church
For it is written in Jeremiah 6:2 that, "I have likened the daughter of Zion to a comely and delicate woman." And we also understand Zion to be the church because Isaiah 51:16, declares, "...say unto Zion, Thou art my people."
We also understand quite clearly what "keeping the commandments of God" means as well. But what is this "Testimony of Jesus Christ" that so angers Satan and why?
In prophecy we find a testimony of Jesus = Gift of prophecy
Revelation 19:10, "...the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy."
That is why the Vatican under the possession of Antichrist so hates the Word of God. It is filled with prophecy! It tells those that have the Testimony of Jesus Christ who the Antichrist is. It tells them what his name will be, it tells them what his desires are, it also tells them what Antichrist will do tom morrow! And that is a major crutch for the Vatican. And that crutch has recently started to grow like never before. After 1229AD the Vatican had a short period of reprieve. They successfully had most of the Bibles removed from the hands of the layman. They then proceeded to translate the Word of the Lord into a language ONLY known to the hierarchy of the Vatican. That way, anyone with questions regarding the Gospel of Jesus Christ, Christian lifestyle, definition of sin, and yes even prophecies concerning Antichrist, had to approach their local Bishop. And as was always the case, certain aspects of the Truth were left out with great ease. Latin was not understood by the general populace, therefore a Catholic priest could easily read one thing in the Bible, and then speak quite the opposite for whatever reason he deemed adequate. However since France voted the Bible back into society in 1797AD after a three and a half year stint without even a Latin version of the Word, we see that the Bible became an extremely popular book.
The BRITISH BIBLE SOCIETY was established in 1804. The AMERICAN BIBLE SOCIETY was next established in 1816. Foreign missions begin to explode to all four corners of the Globe proclaiming what was once hidden from the eyes of men. The printing press begins to massively produce the Word of the Lord in every language. Well known fact is, the Bible has been the number one seller the world over since this time! ALL this time, the wicked of the world have watched how this mere book has glorified the God of Heaven by merely proclaiming the Truth.
This of course generated a great concern for those called to herald the message of Antichrist. So, the Bible had to be attacked! Seeing how the Bible is now literally flooding the Earth with it's Truth as prophecy declared it would do, the only course of action would have to be a grand re-publishing of that which was written. On my "Bogus Bibles" page on the website you will see how the NIV, and the NASB are just two Bibles that have been totally re-written for the sake of hiding the Truth in the Word so as to preach the lies of mankind instead. The Vatican and all others that embrace her teachings have been very busy re-writing Bibles that are designed to tickle the ears of those not desirous of walking with Jesus 100%. The Roman Church hasn't stopped there either. In the book, The Spirit Exercies of St. Ignatius, p. 141, -By Ignatius de Loyola we read these words, "...we should always be ready to accept this principal: I will believe that the white that I see is black, if the hierarchical Church defines it as such."
When I was a Catholic I recall this theological tactic being used often. Whenever someone would question that which was written in the Word with that which was spoken by the priests, the favored comeback was. "You don't need to understand it. I represent the Vatican, your church and thousands of years of Bible research. You must place trust in me and my years of study. I would never lie to you." And if the questioning parishioner wasn't satisfied, it was boldly echoed from previous Vatican quotes that the Church was above the Bible and they should learn to stop rocking the boat.
To help curb this type of questioning, the Vatican as well as many other corrupted faiths, came up with an ingenious as well as demonically inspired idea. Re-write their Bibles to match the churches teachings. I would like to share just a few altered passages from two popular Bibles. The NIV and the NASB. There are way to many to go into at this time, but the few I have chosen will more than likely get my point clearly across. You can view a much larger list on the website if you wish. I will be using the KJV Bible as the basis of Truth. This is in fact the most accurate translation to date that matches the Dead Sea Scrolls. It is also greatly hated by the church of Rome. One of the reasons has to do with the fact that the original preface of this Bible proclaims the Roman Catholic Popes as Antichrist. I have a copy of that preface on the website as well.
First I would like to touch on a few verses that openly look to question the divinity of Christ. They do this mainly because the Popes claim His divinity for their own. I have a large list of Pope declaring themselves "God on Earth" on the website as well.
Daniel 3:25 it is stated, "He answered and said, Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God." Both the NIV and NASB change it from "The Son of God" to "a son of the gods" Do you realize WHO is standing in this furnace? That's right, it was JESUS Himself. Yet, they translate it out in a questioning manner. And it doesn't end there.
In Matthew 1:25 it is written that Joseph, "...knew her not till she
had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name
JESUS." Both the NIV and NASB remove the
word "firstborn" from their version. Why? It allows for the "doctrine of devils"
that proclaim Mary was a virgin forever and had no more children other than
Jesus. "Firstborn" proves there will be more children. However, the
Catholic church must preach Mary a virgin because the "Queen of Heaven"
from the Pagan religion was believed to be this way. And by the way, the title,
"queen of heaven" can be found in the King James Bible in Jeremiah
7:18 as the title of a false god that was designed to draw worship away from
the one True God. The NIV does have this title as well, however, they CAPITALIZE
IT so as to denote divinity. Fact is, the title "queen of heaven"
is only mentioned twice in the Bible. Here in Jeremiah chapter 7, and later
in chapter 44. Fact is, in Jeremiah 44:15-30 the prophet is declaring all that
worship her will have the wrath of God upon them. I implore all Catholics
to read Jeremiah chapter four. See what they were doing for the queen of Heaven
back then, and look and see how the Catholic church does the exact same thing
for "Mary" the so called queen of Heaven today.
In
Luke 2:33 we read, " And Joseph and his mother marvelled at those things
which were spoken of him."
Both the NIV and NASB replace the name "Joseph" with "father." Why? Is this to place a "lower" value on Jesus Himself, making Him appear to be NOT the Son of God, but simply the son of Joseph? Would a inexperienced Christian see it this way? In Luke 24:51,52 it says, " And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he was parted from them, and carried up into heaven. And they worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy:"
The NIV removes "And they worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great
joy:" from their version.
The NASB removes all of "and carried up
into heaven. And they worshipped him," from their version
1JO 5:7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.
The NIV totally removes "in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one." and then continues on with verse eight which speaks of earthly things making them appear as Heavenly. In other words, they remove this portion to say this instead... NIV 1John 5:7-8 "For there are three that testify. The Spirit, the water and the blood; and the three are in agreement." The NASB totally removes the entire verse and replaces it with the bottom half of verse six, thereby splitting and altering verse six as well.
Acts 4:24, declares, "And when they heard that, they lifted up their voice to God with one accord, and said, Lord, thou [art] God, which hast made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all that in them is:" Both the NIV and NASB totally remove the phrase "thou art God" from the Bible.
In Matthew 8:29, it states, "...they cried out, saying, What have we to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God? art thou come hither to torment us before the time? Both the NIV and the NASB totally remove the name "Jesus." from this verse. Sad fact is, the NIV removes the name Jesus from their version 38 times! And the NASB removes the name "Jesus" 73 times!
Can you see a "pattern" emerging yet? Do you see why certain words are being removed? Watch the next few verses. Notice how the "flesh" or "worldliness" is placed up front instead the Almighty, His Kingdom, and a Christian way of life. They degrade ever so slightly the Truth bit by bit. They do this in hundreds of places in His Word so that the general theme they hope to drum into your head is done so in a very subtle and accepting manner.In Revelation 15:3 it proclaims, "...they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvellous [are] thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and true [are] thy ways, thou King of saints." The NIV changes "King of the saints" to "King of the ages" and the NASB changes "King of the saints" to "King of the nations"
In Matthew 28:20 we read, "... lo, I am with you alway, [even] unto the end of the world. Amen." Both the NIV and NASB replace "end of the world" with "end of the age" Why? The devil does NOT want anyone to believe that the World IS going to end soon. He only wants them to believe the age is ending allowing for the metal picture of a "new age" to dawn in the hearts and minds of those believing his lies.
Proverbs 21:21 openly declares that, "He that followeth after righteousness and mercy findeth life, righteousness, and honour." However, the NIV removes the word "righteousness" and replaces it with "prosperity" How blunt can you get? Prosperity is preached in almost ALL churches of today because of this lie. I know people who truly believe they are not blessed of God because they don't have "nice things." Yet the Word says in Matthew 6:19,20 "Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:"
This method of preaching prosperity in the place of righteousness and peace are found in numerous areas of these altered Bible. Another such area is found in Jeremiah 29:11 the King James says, "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end." However, the NIV replaces the word "peace" with the word "prosper," and the NASB replaces the word "peace" with the word "welfare." You see how one can actually start to believe that to be rich on Earth is to be rich in Jesus? These Bible are preaching to all that having materials things will give you "peace" and or righteousness.
Can you see how "mankind", "flesh" and "worldliness" is being glorified in these last few examples? Can you imagine a "babe in Christ" learning and "growing" from a Bible such as this? They will have an outlook that will be geared towards flesh, rather than the Spirit. Notice a few more subtle changes that add to the already massively altered Word of God. In Mark 10:24 we read, "...the disciples were astonished at his words. But Jesus answereth again, and saith unto them, Children, how hard is it for them that trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God!" Both the NIV and the NASB remove the words... "for them that trust in riches" Why? Well, when you re-read that verse WITHOUT those words it appears to be saying it's impossible to enter into Heaven. Kind of makes it all appear hopeless now doesn't it? Pray for those "babes in Christ" that read this and feel genuine distress. Pray the Holy Spirit lets them know they are reading an altered version of the Truth.
These next few verses are graphic "rewrites" that totally change the meaning of the Scripture involved. It is so blatantly evil that I am confused how people hold on to these Bibles at all. In Isaiah 14:12 it says, " How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! [how] art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!" The NIV removes "O Lucifer" and replaces it with "O morning star" The NASB removes "O Lucifer" and replaces it with "O star of the morning." Why is this such a big deal? Because REV 22:16 plainly states that, "I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, [and] the bright and morning star."
In Collossians 2:18 we read, "Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind" Both the NIV and the NASB boldly replace "not seen" with "has seen"
Pretty eye-opening isn't it? It is a sad thing when you think about all the ministers out there that were TAUGHT with these Bibles. Notice the following verses. See if you don't see a "different" message emerging from these alterations of man. in Collossians 1:14 it reads, "In whom we have redemption through his blood, [even] the forgiveness of sins:" Both the NIV and the NASB totally remove "through his blood" from this verse.
This next verse happens to be my favorite one. It allows for me not only prove the Bible altered, but it also show undeniable proof WHO altered it and why. In Acts 8:37 And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.
The NIV TOTALLY removes this entire verse from their version. They even removed the number. It goes from verse 36 to 38. Some Bibles have gone so far as to split up either verse 36 or verse 38 to fill in for the missing verse 37 to try and hide the fact that the entire verse has been replaced. Some Bibles actually go so far as to number verse 36 as 37-37 in the hopes that no one will notice. Why was this verse removed? Common fact is, they baptize babies in Catholicism. A baby cannot PROCLAIM that they "believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God." as this passage requires, so, they remove the verse rather than change their doctrines and continue on baptizing infants even though an infant cannot do what the Word says is necessary for the reception of Baptism. Who do you suppose is behind all this?
Psalm 104:4 declares the Lord Himself, "...maketh his angels spirits; his ministers a flaming fire:" Both the NIV and NASB rearrange this verse to read... "He makes the winds his messengers" Why? Because Ephesians 2:2 reveals, "Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:" The "winds" as it were are the devil's domain!
By the way... ever notice these new Bibles have one thing in common? They ALL have a COPYRIGHT! However, the King James Version does not. That's because the Lord needs no copyright. We have His Word on it. And you can only copyright that which a MAN has written!
Just as it is evident the Roman Church had to attack the Bible to hide the Truth that exposes them. It's also evident in the eyes that have read even the slightest bit of information regarding the prophecies of one modern day prophet by the name of Ellen G White why the Vatican has spear headed an attack on her as well. Not only have they been re-writing and publishing her work so as to make it appear plagiaristic, they have also designed it to contradict the Word of God making her appear un Christlike. They do this mainly because they realize...
1.) The Bible exposes the Vatican as home of Antichrist
2.) Ellen G White
exposes the Vatican as Antichrist with 100% accuracy because she uses the Bible
to do so.
I don't have time to go into every alteration and twisting of Truth the Vatican has been responsible for in Mrs White's writings. I will even admit that I have not read all of her work. She has written over 475 books totaling more than 75,000 pages of text. However, what I have read thus far has been proven to match up with 100% accuracy with the Word of God.
For years I have heard many people declare Ellen G. White a false prophet merely because they hate the way she speaks about the Pope. They hate the way she has linked Bible prophecies with actual historic events of the Popes doing works of Antichrist before and after her lifetime. They even ignore the fact that many of her prophetic statements that are found IN TUNE with the Word of God actually speak of our time with pinpoint accuracy. Even in the most minute matters she has predicted graphic details of modern times. Everything from having labor union strikes, eating diseased ridden meats, to selling bottled water in our day. And she declared all these facts well over 100 years ago in most cases. However, something happened last Tuesday that will most definitely change the minds of millions if not billions on this planet. Over 100 years ago Ellen G. White spoke of the Twin Towers in New York City as being struck as if an Angel's finger were to cause them to crumble into little stones. I have an audio clip I would like to share with you at this time. In this audio tape you will here a live broadcast that was recorded on Three Angels Broadcasting Network on December 22, 1999. That's over 21 months ago. In this clip you will hear the Evangelist Steven D. Lewis speaking of certain visions displayed before the eyes of Ellen G. White many years ago. What you are about to hear is not only extremely shocking, it's also very exciting as it glorifies the Lord and at the same time exposes as liars any and all that would proclaim this prophet of the Lord as one who is not worthy of believing.
PLAY CLIP HERE (You need Real
Player for this to work)
Now let us compare that with what Ellen White writes
"I have seen the most costly structures in buildings erected and supposed to be fireproof, and just as Sodom perished in the flames of God's vengeance so will these proud structures become ashes. . . . The flattering monuments of men's greatness will be crumbled in the dust even before the last great destruction comes upon the world."--Selected Messages #3 p. 418 (1901).
Also notice, Zephaniah 1:14-18. It speaks of high towers and "neither their silver nor gold shall be able to deliver them". It's speaking of the great day of the Lord, but does have a parallel in that 911 is a hint of things to come. Lord have mercy and keep us in that great day of His wrath, Amen
Unrelated to New York, I also found this verse today which really made me think about our commission to spread the warnings of these last days. "So thou, O son of man, I have set thee a watchman unto the house of Israel; therefore thou shalt hear the word at my mouth, and warn them from me. When I say unto the wicked, O wicked man, thou shalt surely die; if thou dost not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand. Nevertheless, if thou warn the wicked of his way to turn from it; if he do not turn from his way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul." (Ezekiel 33:7-9)
God has not executed His wrath without mercy. His hand is stretched out still. His message must be given in Greater New York. The people must be shown how it is possible for God, by a touch of His hand, to destroy the property they have gathered together against the last great day.--Manuscript release #3 pp. 310, 311 (1902).
I have no light in particular in regard to what is coming on New York, only that I know that one day the great buildings there will be thrown down by the turning and overturning of God's power. . . . Death will come in all places. This is why I am so anxious for our cities to be warned.--Review and Herald July 5, 1906.
On one occasion, when in New York City, I was in the night season called upon to behold buildings rising story after story toward heaven. These buildings were warranted to be fireproof, and they were erected to glorify their owners and builders. . . . The scene that next passed before me was an alarm of fire. Men looked at the lofty and supposedly fireproof buildings and said: "They are perfectly safe." But these buildings were consumed as if made of pitch. The fire engines could do nothing to stay the destruction. The firemen were unable to operate the engines.--Testimonies for the Church #9 pp. 12, 13 (1909). {LDE 112, 113}
My friends. They say the Bible is a lie. They say the prophecies are not for our day. They say the prophets the Lord sends are false. And they say Jesus Christ is not coming back in our day. That short clip not only proved they lied to you. It also proved the Bible is accurate , the Lord does have His prophets, and the Lord Jesus Christ is in fact coming back soon! It's time to take the prophecies seriously folks. It's time now to realize that we are living in the last hours. Or are we destined to die as those back in 70AD when they saw no danger in the events surrounding them that Jesus declared 40 years prior in Matthew 24? Remember, the Christians that DID believe what He said did in fact leave that city. However, the rest that ignored His warnings died. 1,100,000 men women and children died that day. Simply because they ignored a prophecy of the Lord Jesus Christ.

LETTERS I AHVE RECIEVED REGARDING THE TRUTH PROVIDED NEWSLETTER
Dear Nicholas,
Hello. Just a short letter to inquire about if you've written
any books on God, and religion, etc etc, religion in general. If so, are the
books based on the same material you've written on your Present's of God
Ministry website. I find most of the articles contained on your website,
particularly the info on the Catholic Church, and the History of denominations
etc etc, to be very interesting subjects for me personally, not forgetting of
course that God is above all of them and comes first. Basically I am just
curious to know if you've written any books, and if so, I'd like to buy some of
your work. If you've not written any books at all, I think it would be a waste
of excellent talent, and would urge you to consider writing some books to
educate people further through other channels where they can learn the truth
about what's going on around the world today. You've definitely got a great
writing style and talent, and a natural ability to explain in layman terms
things about the Catholic church and other things that can be easily understood.
Take care, and God be with you.
Sincerely,
JUSTIN

Things are really starting to fall into line prophetically, eh? Nobody
wants to protest the false doctrines of the beast anymore. Even the GC of the
SDA church is drifting in the beast's direction! Very sad. But, these things
were foretold to occur so I guess no one should be surprised.
Anyway, its been a while - just thought I'd check in.
May God bless you richly.
Lou
