The Perfect Storm Is Coming – Part IX

WILL AMERICA SURVIVE?

The fast-fulfilling signs of the times declare that the coming of Christ is near at hand. The agencies of evil are combining their forces and consolidating. They are strengthening for the last great crisis. Great changes are soon to take place in our world, and the final movements will be rapid ones. The days in which we live are solemn and important. The calamities by land and sea, the unsettled state of society, the alarms of war, are portentous. They forecast approaching events of the greatest magnitude.

Through the two great errors, the immorality of the soul, and Sunday sacredness, Satan will bring the last generation under his deceptions. While the former lays the foundation of spiritualism, the latter creates a bond of sympathy with Rome.


Many are disposed to attribute any fear of the Papal system, past,present or future, to bigotry or childishness. They see nothing in the history of Romanism that is hostile to America’s free institutions, or finding nothing portentous in its growth.

However, Romanism as a system is no more in harmony with the gospel of Christ now than at any former period in her history. The Protestant churches are in great darkness, or they would discern the signs of the times. The Roman Church is far-reaching in her plans and modes of operation. She is employing every device to extend her influence to undo all that Protestantism has done.

THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES AFFIRMS LIBERTY OF CONSCIENCE AND THE RULE OF LAW; NOTHING IS MORE FUNDAMENTAL.

HOWEVER, THE PAPAL SYSTEM INSISTS OTHERWISE!

“The absurd and erroneous doctrines or ravings in defense of liberty of conscience, are a most pestilential error – a pest, of all others, most to be dreaded in a state.” –Pope Pius IX, in his Encyclical Letter of August 15, 1854

 

The same pope, in his Encyclical Letter of December 8, 1864, anathematized “those who assert the liberty of conscience and of religious worship,” also “all such as maintain that the church may not employ force.”

 

“If, therefore, the Catholic Church also claims the right of dogmatic intolerance with regard to her teaching, it is unjust to reproach her for exercising this right….she regards dogmatic intolerance not alone as her incontestable right, but also as a sacred duty….

 

“As the true God can tolerate no strange gods, the true Church of Christ can tolerate no strange Churches beside herself….And it is just in this exclusiveness that lies her unique strength, the stirring power of her propaganda, the unfailing vigor of her progress. A strictly logical consequence of this incontestable fundamental idea is the ecclesiastical dogma that outside the Church there is no salvation…

 

“However repulsive, when judged from the more refined standpoint of modern civilization, the barbarous cruelty of medieval penal ordinances may be…we may not for this reason condemn the whole penal system of that age as judicial murder; for the legal punishments, while indeed inhuman, were not unjust…According to Rom., xiii, 11sqq., the secular authorities have the right to punish, especially grave crimes, with death; consequently, ‘heretics may be not only excommunicated, but also justly (juste) put to death.”  -The Catholic Encyclopedia, 1911 edition, Vol. 14, pages 766, 768   

 

(Pope Paul II) “Insists that men have no reliable hope of creating a viable geopolitical system unless it is on the basis of Roman Catholic Christianity.”  -Malachi Martin, The Keys Of This Blood, page 492, copy write 1990

 

Catholic Bishops in US Say They Will Break Immigration Law

www.ekklesia.co.ul/ March 5, 2006


“Catholic leaders in the US have said they may break a proposed immigration law, saying that ‘the laws of the gospel always exceed the laws of the land.’

 

“Cardinal Roger Mahoney, the leader of the nation’s largest diocese, has now gone further and promised to defy the bill if it becomes law. ‘I would say to all priests, deacons, and members of the church that we are not going to observe this law.’”

 

Jesus said, “thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.

 

ON THESE TWO COMMANDMENTS HANG ALL THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS.” Matthew 22: 36-40.

 

Jesus said, “Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven:

 

BUT WHOSOEVER SHALL DO AND TEACH THEM, THE SAME SHALL BE CALLED GREAT IN THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.” Matthew 5: 17-19

 

In the future, those who honor God by keeping His Commandments will be denounced as enemies of law and order, as breaking down the moral restraints of society, causing anarchy and corruption, and calling down the judgments of God upon the earth. They will be accused of disaffection toward the government. Ministers who deny the obligation of the Divine Law will present from the pulpit the duty of yielding obedience to the evil authorities as ordained of God. In legislative halls and courts of justice, commandment-keepers will misrepresented and condemned. The worst construction will be put upon their motives.

 

As in the past, dignitaries of church and state will unite to bribe, persuade, or compel all classes to honor the Sunday. The lack of divine authority will be supplied by oppressive enactments. Even in free America, rulers and legislators, in order to secure public favor, will yield to the popular demand for a law enforcing Sunday observance. Liberty of conscience, which has cost a great sacrifice, will no longer be respected.

 

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

 

In the soon-coming conflict we shall see exemplified the prophet’s words: “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.” Revelation 12:17.
