Mystery Babylon

Chapter 7

The 8th Beast Kingdom”

The Lamb-Dragon – The False Prophet

"The Beast that was, and is not, and yet is." "And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth," (Rev. 13:11)

John saw the 7 Headed Ten Horned Beast phase pass into another. John witnessed the Roman Catholic 7th head, of the Dark Ages, change into that of another beast, ...an EIGHTH beast kingdom. It was exactly as the angel said in Revelation 17:9 11 when he said there would be 7 kingdoms and yet an eighth kingdom at the end. "And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven and goeth into perdition."

At this present time, mankind is facing the EIGHTH MANIFESTATION OF THE BEAST, ...OF MYSTERY BABYLON, ...THE FULLNESS OF DECEIT, ...THE FULNESS OF COUNTERFEIT, ...THE FULNESS OF RELIGIOUS CONFUSION. (Rev.13:11 17, 17:11) Satan's Harlot Beast's … Last and Greatest & most subtle Deception!

THE EIGHTH MANIFESTATION

Presently the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ and the whole earth is confronting the Great Whore Spirit in a manner somewhat different than our New Testament forefathers did when they fought to serve God in the face of the 6th Roman Head, and the 7th Roman Catholic Papacy Empire head. We are now facing the fullness of the Seven previous mountain kingdoms and the combined religious iniquity developed over all these centuries. As we uphold and "contend for the faith which was once delivered to the saints," the overcomers are battling all the accumulated religious knowledge, false doctrine, corruption, and subtle deception that Satan has refined to a high level of efficiency, … during the course of the previous 7 kingdoms. As we look out upon the religious systems of this world we are beholding the complete fullness of the Great Whore. Apostasy at its Best! The EIGHTH, "which is of the Seven."

As one looks out upon the religious systems of this earth and Christianity, ...he does not see a clumsy, antiquated, fumble bumbling religious system. Now one witnesses Satan's proud off spring, ...his greatest creation, ...his most elaborate, deceptive earth wide religious system EVER. Today we are witness to the devil's finest work of art by which he captures the minds and souls of all those whose names are not written in the Lamb's Book of Life. Satan even has captured multitudes of the Church of the living God and holds them by deception within his Mystery Babylon Religious System. These believers are convinced they are OK. in their relationship with God thru their faith in Jesus Christ. BUT, GOD IS NOT PLEASED and Says "COME OUT OF HER MY PEOPLE". (Rev.18:4)

Satan has so many off guard. This last beast does not come from the sea of peoples, languages and nations of the earth. It is not a civil political entity as the others in Daniel 7:3 and Rev.13:1. Now men must turn, and look in a different direction, for the beast comes from another location, "out of the earth". It comes out a religious spirit rather than a political one.

It seems that most are still watching the 7th head, Roman Catholicism, while this new beast is crawling quietly and harmlessly out of the Christianitiy's religious systems of confusion. This religious conglomerate spirit we see today is composed of endtime Catholicism, the Harlot's Protestant daughters, {...the non Holy Ghost filled believers}, Charismatics, and luke warm Pentecostals. It is even making alliances with other Pagan religions of the earth. They all have an inspiration and relationship with God but can not come to "the faith that was once delivered unto the saints": the same gospel preached by the 12 apostles of the New Testament. From among these religious and christianism factions another beast has risen.

A LAMB   DRAGON MIXTURE

"He had two horns like a lamb and he spake as a dragon." (Rev.13:11)

A new image, never seen before, has emerged. It looks as innocent as a LAMB, but when it speaks, it will speak like the DRAGON, ...just like the Devil himself, ...just like the Beast Harlot spoke through the Roman Catholic church (Rev.13:11 17) during the dark ages when they tortured and "wore out the saints." Yes, this religious system of Harlotry is Satan's last attempt to once more annihilate the Bride of Jesus Christ by using all religions, …Pagan, Judaism, and Christianism.

No longer are many horns needed, ...only two, ...those of church and state, ...political and religious. The state has always worked hand in glove with the church when the Mystery Whore began to exert her influence upon the affairs of men. That's how millions of believers were martyred. Her well meaning, but carnal minded preachers influenced, ...coerced, ...and demanded, that certain people be classified as "heretics," and should be eliminated or brought in line with the religious norms of that day. Consequently the sheriffs, the governors, the kings, and the armies were at that time directed to take care of the so called heretics. Studying the Dark Ages and Medieval history reveals this all too clearly. Foxes Book of Martyrs by John Foxe is an eye opener.

A minister was put in jail in our city for displaying a banner for the Lord which said "HOLINESS OR HELL" from the courthouse during a March for Jesus Rally (which was nothing more than a parade by believers who reject the gift of the Holy Ghost and worldly Charismatics.) The preachers were offended and signed a petition to have the police put him in jail for breach of peace. Thus again the STATE did the bidding of the CHURCH. Of course you should realize that the TRUE Bride of Christ would never behave itself in this manner, ....only the Harlot Church Spirit acts that way. Only she is offended by THE WORD. The judge threw it out in this case.

A Lamb and Dragon.

What a deceptive combination. The mixing of two incompatible natures is surely a deceptive ploy to get close to the victim before revealing it's true intentions and character. The Lamb Dragon, with the appearance of a lamb and yet the voice of a (the) dragon, is the same Harlot Beast as before, ...only in her Eighth manifestation costume. The deadly wound is healed and the devil knows to not manifest himself as that heavy handed Roman Catholic head which was wounded. She would be too easily recognized. Thus satan uses a new manifestation, a new face, a new beast which looks so innocent. It even comes from a new source, the earth, (out earthy-minded, carnal minded believers) not the sea as the previous beast. Nevertheless, it works!. Great wonders are accomplished so that AGAIN the earth dwellers are deceived in their worship.

"And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him: and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed". (Rev.13:12)

Quietly as we speak, without fanfare, Mystery Babylon, is forming another beast system among the religious communities of the earth. Never before has their been such unity of purpose and efforts to look for common ground among all the religious systems of the earth. In fact, they really do have a lot of common ground. Just as Herod and Pilate. They became friends in the midst of Jesus' trial and condemnation. The uncircumcised and stiff necked always resist the Holy Ghost. Yes, there is a lot of common ground for them. But, the true Bride of Christ is pure and will have no part in any of it!

These similarities have created a formal Ecumenical move among all the denominations and religions of the earth to establish grounds of fellowship and cooperative endeavors between the Jews, Protestants, Catholics, Pentecostals, Charismatics; ...in fact, all of the world's religions. The National Council of Churches. The World Council of Churches. Even bringing in non-Christian religions. And believe it or not, even Bible believing Holy Ghost filled fundamental and evangelical churches are sending representatives to these conclaves of the blind. "Unity in diversity" some called it.

Informally, (in everyday life where people live, work, and play) Satan has used the spirit of religious apathy in the earth as an opportunity to bring the minds of all peoples, all religions, Protestants and Catholics into a greater spirit of unity and fellowship. The general consensus is that people feel that we are all God's children and religious affiliations are just our preferences in worshipping God and ...affect very little, now or in eternity. City wide ministerial associations, pulpit swapping, community issue involvement, special ecumenical services, inter denominational conferences, and pulpit sermonizing have created a mental attitude of acceptance of most religious faiths as legitimate forms of worship. Both the secular and religious world, say ….We are all on different roads heading for the same destination, …ie….all roads lead to God. (they say) All of these efforts are a work of the Mystery Babylon spirit of religious confusion to promote spiritual fornication all nations and peoples and among Christ believers.

TRUE FELLOWSHIP

There can be no fellowship outside the principles of the WORD OF GOD. Unity comes as we come to Christ and the light of his word, ...not as we come in unity with one another. "If we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another." (1 Jn.1:7) This is God's program for building unity. We come into unity with one another (not with the Harlot church system) as we come into unity with the Lord Jesus Christ. Each individual believer’s unity with the Head, Jesus Christ, ...brings individual members in unity with one another in the body of Christ.

One Bible teacher said, "Unity in spite of differences,... It must be done in such a way that the Baptists still have the liberty to be Baptists, the Pentecostals still have the liberty to be Pentecostals, and so forth. God wants His people to unite in warring against evil, with the peace to allow the differences to remain. This way the various segments of Christianity can work cooperatively to stop the attacks of Satan's hoardes in the areas of murder, rape, youth gangs, drugs, pornography, abortion, and accusing the brethern."

On the surface, it seems so INNOCENT for all forms of Christianity to work together to combat social issues and sin. However, cooperative efforts between the Bride of Christ and those who resist the word of God, ...has never been part of God's program. PREACHING THE SAME NEW TESTAMENT GOSPEL THE 12 APOSTLES PREACHED IS THE ONLY WEAPON OF THE CHURCH OF GOD.

Presently the innocent Lamb phase is still being projected. However, the Great Whore spirit is working behind the scenes to quietly use her Church and State energies to lay legislative and religious programs in place formally, ...and informally within the hearts and minds of people, ....so that the VOICE mechanism will be in place when the Devil is ready to speak again as a tyrant.

Excesses and abuses have created an ever tightening grip of restrictions, codes, and legislation by the local and federal governments to hobble the work of God, from prohibitions and taxation to licensing. The prying eyes of the federal government (we are not excusing abuse) want to know more and more about the financial practices of churches as it limits and directs the how, when, and the where of churches. It has been happening gradually. Slowly our religious freedom to preach the gospel as the Holy Spirit directs is becoming limited.

Consider the difficulties ministers encounter in your area as they attempt to do the work of God. God's Word reveals that at the Endtime, these legislative restrictions will become so tight that doing the work of the true ministry of Christ will be illegal.

Buying and Selling (preaching the good news of Jesus Christ) of Jehovah’s Truth in Christ will be forbidden unless one receives the mark of approval by the beast system in their hand of fellowship or in their intellectual thinking.

Our senses are being bombarded by the media in every form available to brain wash the true children of God from standing rigidly upon the same gospel as our New Testament forefathers preached. Anyone who stands for absolutes and righteousness are treated as a joke and intimidated. Those with actual Born Again experiences are being seduced from their dedication into life styles of the worldly as though they never experienced the power of the "gift of the Holy Ghost". An ecumenical spirit has taken hold of the minds and hearts of multitudes. Preachers are preaching peace to their members and "healing the hurt of the daughter of my people". God's judgment upon their lives is and will be manifested.

It's no wonder that abortion has taken over the social landscape. Preachers have been aborting believers for years.

They preach a little bit of the gospel to their churches and then refuse to allow them to come to birth! Preachers will plant the seed of the Word of God, but will not let them be "born again of the water and the Spirit". (John 3:3 5) Even churches who claim to be Holy Ghost baptized are filled with believers who have never "received the Holy Ghost since they believed." (Acts 19:2) They can't bring them to birth! So people learn to live in a state of spiritual limbo. Still born in the womb. "Ever learning (ever preaching) and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth." (2 Tim 3:7) Never able to come to birth!

Shortly the Beast's New Image System will begin to exercise more power and speak just as Roman Catholicism spoke in it’s persecution of the saints. Which saints? Those who will refuse to cooperate. Those who refuse to let go of the true worship and word of God. How innocent it all looks now. The Protestants will yet manifest clearly that many of them have that same murdering nature of their Mother, the Roman Catholic church. This subjugating and controlling spirit by the church systems and denominations (of course it all comes about via politics) will actually be causing the whole earth to worship the 1st beast of Rev. 13:1 7, ...The Roman Catholic Church. It all has its roots in the pagan religious confusions of Babylon.

What is also disturbing is that multitudes of the Pentecostals and Charismatics have been seduced from God's word because they were carriers of the genes, of the spiritual DNA of Rome. Elevating spiritual experience above the Truth. Believing lies.

HE MAKETH FIRE TO COME DOWN

"And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, and deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast;" (Rev.13:13 14)

One of the greatest deceptions today lies right in the heart of the christian community. God has poured out His Spirit upon all flesh. This century has seen the Holy Ghost poured out in a latter day rain of Pentecost. Now even toward the end of the century, the Spirit has fallen right among the mainline denominations. The power of the Holy Ghost and a Pentecostal experience (receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost after believing) has been received by multitudes of Catholics, Anglicans, Episcopalians, Lutherans, Presbyterians, Methodists, Baptists, etc. The older Pentecostal denominations have been eclipsed by the move of the Holy Ghost among the Harlot's Protestant Daughters. This is where the Charismatic movement originated.

However, the deception that Satan has put off on the Holy Ghost believers of all denominational affiliations is; ....that their experience with the Holy Spirit supersedes the Word of God. They have the attitude that having a spiritual relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ is more important than keeping the vows of covenant. So many today have more confidence in their Holy Ghost experience than they do in the Word of God. Thus, if the Word teaches one thing and they feel that the spirit is leading them contrary to the Word, ....they follow their spirit.

(Can you imagine that the same Holy Ghost/Spirit which wrote the scriptures also leads believers contrary to His own Word.!? …that’s what they say!) Many feel that the Word of God does not matter, as long as the anointing is with me    that is how many feel. They think: ...I know I feel something…I know the Holy Spirit with me, …so I am not alone, ….so everything is ok. between me and the Lord.

That is not a good basis to rely on, any more than feeling ok. in your physical body means everything is in fine physical condition. We know that the body does not always reveal, until often too late, that cancer has devoured the body.

Being born again of the water and the Spirit, receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost after we have believed, makes us a new creature or new creation because of a spiritual birth. We become alive after a spiritual manner. But, this new life of Christ on the inside does not in any way relieve us of the responsibility of following after God's word. Much of Pentecost and the Charismatics have received an attitude of deception. They depend more on feeling the Spirit move… than they do upon the Word of God. They have received the Holy Ghost and fire; yet, somehow, they stay under the influence of the nature of the Beast, and will not become subject to God completely as a Bride should.

Receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost does not give one the right to resist God's Word. That is why deception runs deep within the church today. The temptation is to rely upon experience rather than upon the Word of God. Yet we should remember. "Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away." (Matt.24:35) "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God." (Matt.4:4) He didn't say by every move of the Spirit or anointing that proceeds from God. That is why Jesus said in Matthew 7:22; "Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity (or lawlessness)."

Why will Jesus say that? Because they relied more upon the manifestations and power of the anointing than they did in cultivating a relationship with Jesus Christ, the Word. Of course, Jesus knows everyone. But the knowing Christ is speaking about refers to how a husband and wife know one another. Remember, the scripture says that Joseph knew not Mary until the child was born. There are degrees of knowing.

"Ye Adulterers and Adulteresses", ...is what James called the born again believers he was speaking to in James 4:4. James was speaking to their born again relationship or being filled with the Holy Ghost when he said "Ye adulterers and adulteresses". He was speaking to their unfaithful, fornicating spirit. Yes, they were born again children of God, just as Israelites were physically born children of Israel. A child's birth experience is in no way related to whether or not that child will be obedient and bring honor unto the Father! Just as it is in the natural, so it is in the spirit. We live in the Spirit, so walk in the Spirit.

How did these members of the christian faith become spiritual adulterers and adulteresses? James answered it when He said, ...."know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God." (James 4:4) Yielding to the Harlot Beast's fornicating and unfaithful spirit is easy to do. Satan is always there to draw us away from the what God has said. As he told Eve, "Yea Hath God Said". (Gen.3:1) Satan is continually placing questions and reasonings in our hearts and minds about what God has really said. That is the Beast.

The deception is that people think they are above the Harlot Beast's influence because they are Pentecostal or Charismatic or Fundamental or Evangelical. Not so. That is why God says, "Come out of Her My People". Come away from the Harlot and her ways. Stop walking in the nature of the Beast. Come unto me and walk with me as a Bride, pure and white. You are mine, but you must come out….or you will be destroyed when I judge the Harlot for her ways. It is truly dangerous to be anointed of God and yet walking in the falseness of the Beast Harlot's ways.

ANOINTED BUT FALSE

Balaam prophesied in Numbers 23 & 24. The anointing upon him was truth and no lie. Read the passages and you will see. Everything he said was exactly correct. Yet, Jesus said in Rev. 2 that Balaam "taught Balak how to cast a stumbling block before the children of Israel" in causing them "to commit fornication"; ...causing about 24,000 of God's people to die from God's judgment. Jesus called it the "doctrine of Balaam" and he held it against those believers he was speaking to in Revelation 2. Thus, Jesus was not letting it slide. Balaam's anointing was true, but his doctrine was false and damnable. God makes a point to insert in Joshua 13:22 how the children of Israel brought God's judgment upon Balaam for his acts. Israel slayed him. Thus shall be the end of all who are anointed, ....but false in their teachings. Watch the WORD as you watch them! Try them with the WORD! Come out of Her MY people! Or be destroyed as Balaam was.

UNFAITHFUL ADULTERERS

Being able to confess that a believer has a spirit filled life or is "born again" is not a cure all. A spiritual birth experience simply makes one a member of the church family of God; ...just as a natural birth experience makes us a member of our physical family. Only God knows the number of genuine red blooded Hebrews who confessed Jehovah, ...and yet worshiped Baal. Israel was full of them. "All of them were baptized unto Moses in the cloud and the sea, and did all eat of that same spiritual meat; and did all drink of that same spiritual drink," ...the Rock, (1 Cor 10:2 4) BUT, many were overthrown and destroyed in the wilderness by God. (v.5) Why? Because God was not pleased with their unclean, lustful, fornication, idolatrous, murmuring and tempting spirit. "Now all these things happened unto them for examples: and they are written for our admonition," (1 Cor.10:11) You should remember my brother or sister, "that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not." (Jude 5)

Yes, ....today multitudes have sold their birth right and experience with God for the rewards of the flesh. Each shall receive of their deeds just as our Old Covenant fore fathers did for their wickedness. Destruction is being reserved for multitudes who confess Christ, but walk in the flesh and serve sin, ....no matter the depth of their religious anointing or fire baptized experience. A Strong delusion has taken many who had rather believe a lie and be damned. (2 Thess.2:11 12) They have been overcome by a fornicating and unfaithful spirit. Come out of Her MY people! The Holy Ghost fire has fallen upon the Beast system and multitudes are staying with the Beast!

BUILDING AN IMAGE

"And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by the sword and did live. And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast that the image of the beast should both speak and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed." (Rev.13:14 15)

Make an image! Make an image! Satan has been speaking this idea for years through the mouths his religious servants and civil leaders. They do not know the source of their religious philosophy and political solutions. It started not long after the fires of the Protestant Reformation began to cool. Make an image to the Beast, ....to the 1st Beast of Revelation 13:1 8, ....to the Devil's Image in the earth during the Dark Ages, ....to The Roman Catholic Church System. Make an Image! Yes, it is forming as we speak.

God made an image of himself when he created man, ....Adam and Eve. Of course, man was not and still is not God. But since we are the creation of Jehovah, ...we do reflect in a human way, his character, personality, mind and other attributes in our emotional, social, mental, and spiritual make up. We have been created in his image.

All the driving forces of hell have been laboring on all battle fronts of evil to make an image, copy or representation of the 1st Beast system which had the wound by the sword (the Word of God) and yet still lives. Satan yearns to have another religious political system similar to the one which oppressed and dominated the earth with an iron hand for over 1200 years. This new image would help him express his rebellion and evil against God's creation    man.

Jesus Christ has his image in the earth through his many membered body, ...the church. It is the image of Christ in the earth. Satan desires, as all devils do, to have a body or vessel by which he can express his character and nature of lying and murder, ...which has been from the beginning. Thus, Satan has been plotting for centuries to bring into existence another many membered religious political system which is similar to or an image of, ...that full of wonder Roman Catholic Church System by which Satan oppressed and murdered millions. This new image system is being formed now under the careful eye of Satan and the Beast.

A NEW IMAGE

Many are watching intently for the Pope and the Catholic church to be the prime movers in persecuting the saints again. But not so. The Devil is wise.

Now Mystery Babylon the Great Whore Spirit is moving deceptively with a new beast, ....a new face, ....a new image, ...a new system, ....in a new way. They should be watching the Ecumenical spirit that has invaded the mind set of the "Christian community". Look at the miraculous unifying forces which are at work among the Catholics, Protestants, and Pentecostals. The same religious forces are at work among Paganism, Judaism, and Christianism. Truly there are some amazing changes taking place within the religious systems of the earth. All of these center stage events have created a Smorgesboard Christianity; ...all under the direct oversight of the Lamb Dragon, ....the False Prophet Spirit. If you think that the winds blowing today in the mainline denominations and Charismaticism    are of Jesus Christ,     you need to watch the fruit on the tree.

Genuine born again believers are fellowshipping believers and ministers from other "Christian" factions who have never known repentance. They just joined a church. Born again Bible believing ministers fellowship preachers who resist the very power of the Holy Ghost. They ignorantly acknowledge in their hearts and accept on an equal basis those whose tenets of faith are contrary to "Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today, and forever", ...to save, fill with the Holy Ghost, heal, and deliver from sin and oppression.

Years ago, prior to the time it happened, the Holy Ghost spoke concerning a popular Holy Ghost filled minister. The Spirit Called aloud “his name” …. is going back into the Harlot Church System. He has been overtaken by a wealthy spirit." First reaction was to resist this as from God. However, within two years it was manifested openly that he had indeed joined himself to a non Pentecostal denomination. Yes, that wealthy spirit drove him to acquire a great college campus and hospital and to become weaker and weaker in holiness. Today we can see in part where this road has led. One who was once a great deliverer for God's people became of a mixtured spirit as he was overcome with Mystery Babylon's Harlot ways.

As you read this, the hearts and minds of Your community are being shaped and molded by churchmen from pulpits and by the media. An image, a likeness, a copy, a system is being set up which resembles the one that devoured the earth and saints during the Beast’s 7th Head’s bloody war against the saints of the Dark Ages. The Ecumenical, lamb like, innocent cry for Christian Unity and brotherhood is simply the erecting of the 8th Beast, a Church State system similar to the 7th Beast’s Catholicism. It will shortly shed it's outward trappings of innocence and harmlessness.

When it does, it will no longer operate as a Lamb, but will act as the Beast which truly it is. Life will be given to this NEW BEAST system so that it will begin to speak. It will subjugate the inhabitants of the earth unto death if they will not worship according to the New Image, according to the New System. At that time the two horns of the Lamb will reveal openly their Political Religious character.

The Devil through the Dragon is about to speak again as he did through the 7th head, ...Roman Catholicism. Protestants, Pentecostals, and Charismatics alike are subtly being turned sub consciously in their hearts and minds gradually back to the spirit of Mystery Babylon. People are caught in religious confusion and spiritual fornication. The Prostituting Spirit of Satan has been patiently manipulating events, creating circumstances of abuse, legislating a web of restrictions, weakening religious barriers, solidifying a mind set that we are all God's children and building cooperative ecumenical bridges. Consequently, a warming up attitude has replaced the separatist attitude between Catholicism, Protestantism, and Pentecostalism. Of course, their are issues to resolve. But, it matters not. They will unite and are united. Everybody thinks they are a Christian. Moreover, the Ecumenical push does not have to be coercive or forceful, because the church systems and denominations HAVE and ARE backsliding into the Devil's plot and schemes. Minds and hearts have been deceived by a false gospel. Remember the daughter of a Whore is a virgin until she comes of age and defiles herself, too.

The spirit of Ecumenicalism upon the Catholic and Protestant denominations coupled with the Lukewarm Pentecostals helped incubate the Charismatic movement which revitalized the Ecumenical movement and the informal grass roots ecumenical spirit among the common church members.

DWELL ALONE OR A MIXTURE

The old timers used to say, "You can't tell anymore where the church ends and where the world begins." Can you?

God said that His "people shall dwell alone, and shall not be reckoned (woven or plaited) among the nations." (Num.23:9) Which thread is the Holiness thread? Which thread is the true Church, the Bride? Woe unto to those born again members of the Church of God who have lost their UNIQUENESS, DISTINCTIVENESS, AND SEPARATION UNTO GOD. It is most difficult to be set apart for God within the boundaries of the religious confusion upon our world today.

Isaiah said it this way, "Woe unto them that join house to house, that lay field to field, till there be no place that they may be placed alone in the midst of the earth." (Isa.5:8) Woe unto to those religious leaders who labor to combine all the Christian factions and denominational houses together. It does not have to happen formally. Informally, the spirit is taking over the philosophies and beliefs of people. It is the consequence of preachers failing to cry out for righteousness and holiness. Failing to cry, "come out from among them and touch not the unclean thing....be ye separate saith the Lord." (2Cor.6:17)

When ministers stop standing as Watchmen and fail to cry, "..Be not as the heathen...," they usher their churches right into the hands of the Devil's devices. Woe to that Harlot Beast spirit which will not relent until it has joined all the religious fields together. Woe to those Ecumenical minded folk who will take away the right and privilege of the Church of Jesus Christ to dwell alone unto her God. Woe to those who attempt to prohibit the church from being separated unto Christ in faithfulness and holiness.

The religious confusion which has saturated the Christian community has given rise to a quiet, refined and dignified form of worship. They are not led by the Spirit of God. This type of ministry is showy and feeds pride and intellect; ...but does little, if anything, to feed the flock of God and to heal them. "The Holy Spirit spoke that the Beast would 1st begin walking in a Methodist type church spirit; ...where much ritual and form exist, but little life changing power of the Holy Ghost." Even Pentecostals who have been TRULY BORN AGAIN are being influence by the religious harlot spirit of this age. In fact, the Spirit said that "Many prominent ministers will fail to distance themselves from this religious type spirit and will be defiled and overcome."

The religious confused climate of this endtime is creating a religious image which shortly will be infused with life from the church and state's two horns of power. When it does, the nominal church member, who has refused to walk out of the doctrinal and spiritual clutches of Mystery Babylon's Spirit, ....will be turned over to the power of Satan. Satan will enter them as he did Judas and will begin to manifest a betrayal spirit toward other Holy Ghost filled believers in Christ who refuse to submit to this religious conglomerate system's image erected to the Mystery Harlot.

A powerful religious system is taking over the hearts and minds of all men and women who do not seek the Lord Jesus Christ with all their heart. This religious spirit condones many alternative paths to God. Very little is sin. Haven't you noticed how the religious spirit of so called Christians have made them into advocates of everything from abortion to homosexuality. The religious timidity of this ecumenical Lamb religious spirit will become less and less innocent and more and more harsh and will eventually manifest the nature of the dominating Devil Dragon upon mankind and the Bride of Jesus Christ. (The Bride are those who preach Bible salvation and refuse to knuckle under to this ecumenical mind set and refuse to consent that these people are true brethren).

Even now, many preachers and laity confess that they are not pleased or in agreement with their church organization's present ideology, tendencies, and actions. However, though displeased, they do not remove themselves from their present religious affiliation. They do not run for safety! (Ask the Lord Jesus for how to create spiritual distance within your heart and life.) They remain in a religious House that is on fire and continue to watch as it burns around them without making the effort to escape. Fellow believer in Christ, don't tarry too long or you will be destroyed as the religious systems are consumed, “becoming the habitations of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and the hateful bird." (Rev 18:2)

Almighty God loves his people and his sheep of every church affliation, BUT, ...he does not love the system of unfaithfulness from which they worship God. Thus, God has decreed that Mystery Babylon must be destroyed. He has warned his church, his people, which find themselves within these religious systems, which REJECT HIS WORD in some measure, ...to COME OUT before they are destroyed with the System when God's spiritual bomb is dropped. Sadly, multitudes have already sealed their fate by adamantly opposing all rescue attempts by the Holy Spirit.

You are hearing the Trumpet of God NOW as you read!

Stop listening with your prejudices and natural ears. Those who refuse to run for safety show that they love their own religious system more than they love God.

Remember, the saving of souls has always been important to Jehovah God in every generation. Now in the endtime of the age, God places much emphasis upon Endtime Events and the completion of God's Program of revelation in the earth. The prophecy books of Daniel and Revelation were written for us upon whom the ends of the world are come. Look out upon the religious endtime landscape with the eyes of the Spirit. Let the Holy Ghost speak to you of what His books of Prophecy say.

The Eighth Beast is being formed now upon the earth and is maturing to the age when it will be given truly a voice of power and authority. Once he begins to speak, it will be that old lying murderer again, ....He will " cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast . . . should be killed". (Rev.13:15)
