The foundation of the great abomination of desolation rests in the doctrine of the Mass. The Mass substitutes human (priests’) performances in place of the great sacrifice of Calvary, for the cleansing away of sin. Jesus’ sacrifice was “once for all,” Romans 6:10. “For Christ also suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust…” [...]
Some historical events (now buried and forgotten) of the tyrannical reign of the church of Rome include: The city of Beziers, France was stormed and taken in 1209, and sixty thousand citizens, without regard for age or sex, perished by the sword. The blood of those who fled to churches, and were murdered there by [...]
In Revelation (2:20-25; 18:7), Queen Jezebel symbolizes a great religious system (the apostate church of Rome) in this Gospel Age. Roman Catholicism did great violence to the Truth and to true Christians. (That church massacred whole towns of tens of thousands, and tortured and killed hundreds of thousand Christians who studied the Bible.) In symbol, [...]
The word antichrist, first mentioned in 1 John 2:18, is the compound Greek word antichristos. “Anti” means “in opposition to,” or, “in place of” and “Christ” means “anointed.” Consequently, in order to understand who anti-Christ is — those who take “a position in place of Christ”— we need to determine who the real “Anointed” is. [...]
The Catholic Church desired to distance itself from the Jewish Law and its association with Judaism. It also wanted to blend and incorporate some of the pagan rituals and holidays with Christian holy days. This double motivation led the Catholic church to compromise the timing of celebration of our Lord's death and resurrection. They decided [...]
Daniel 9:24-27 takes us from rebuilding of Jerusalem’s walls through the coming of the Messiah. When did the rebuilding of Jerusalem begin? Nehemiah 2:1 records that the Persian King, Artaxerxes, gave Nehemiah permission to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem in the “year 20” of his reign. Establishing exactly when this happened has created confusion for [...]
Tithing or giving 10 percent is no where commanded in the New Testament. Tithing was an arrangement instituted by God to support the tribe of Levites. The Levites were not given an inheritance in the land and were to be fully employed as priests to serve God and Israel. The tithe supported these men in [...]
Who is the Man of Sin? The Man of Sin is Papacy - the Roman Catholic system and the position of Pope, but not the particular individual in that position. This might seem harsh and judgmental, however, Papacy is a falsifier which sought to take the honor of the true anointed, the true Christ and [...]
Daniel 11:31, “And arms shall stand on his part, and they shall pollute the sanctuary of strength, and shall take away the daily sacrifice, and they shall place the abomination that makes desolate.” Jesus refers to this in Matthew 24:15-16, “When you see the abomination of desolation, spoken by Daniel the prophet, stand in the [...]
Edom was the name given to Esau, the twin brother of Jacob, after he sold his birthright. (Genesis 25:30-34) The name was applied both to the people descended from him and to the country in which they settled. (Genesis 36:1; Numbers 20:18-21; Jeremiah 49:17) The name “Edom” is frequently used by the prophets (Isaiah, [...]
