American
Roman Theocracy
And it was given to him to give
life to the image of the beast, in order that
also the image of the beast might speak, and
should act, that whosoever should not worship the
image of the beast, so that he might be killed.

Origins of
Theocon Ideology
How the Lords
Prophecy has Taken Place
The Protestants of the United
States will be foremost in stretching their hands
across the gulf to grasp the hand of spiritualism;
they will reach over the Abyss to clasp hands
with the Roman power; and under the influence of
this threefold union, this country will follow in
the steps of Rome in trampling on the rights of
conscience. GC 588
The Word of the Lord is being
fulfilled to the very letter.
Protestantism:
Private Wrestling With God and the Word
The nature of Protestantism may be seen
in Martin Luther, pouring over Scripture,
wrestling with God and the Word and his own soul,
applying the Word of God to his own soul, then
preaching that Word as millions espouse the Word
in their own souls.
Rome: A
Religion of Coercion in the Public Square
The nature of Rome may be seen in its
focus on the Public Square. It was to the public
square that the Inquisitors repaired. It is to
the Public Square that the people, the masses are
called to stand before the Inquisitors. It is to
the people in the Public Square that decrees of
the Inquisition are read. It is in the Public
Square where people are required to denounce
heretics. It is in the Public Square where the
Auto-de-Fe is held, as heretics are burned for
their faith in the presence of the King, Queen,
the Archbishops, the Bishops, the Priests, the
Orders, and the people, the public. In the Public
Square, the Cathedral is erected. In the Public
Square the symbols of Rome are erected-the Virgin
Mary, the Cross. In the Public Square, the
Eucharistic processions are held. Romes
religion is the religion of the Public Square,
where Church and State are joined together.
Jesus
Kingdom is Not of This World
Jesus said, My kingdom is not of
this world. John 18: 36.
[T] oday in the religious world
there are multitudes who, as they believe, are
working for the establishment of the kingdom of
Christ as an earthy and temporal dominion. They
desire to make our Lord the ruler of the kingdoms
of this world, the ruler in its courts and camps,
its legislative halls, it palaces and market
places. They expect Him to rule
through legal enactments, enforced by human
authority. Since Christ is
not now here in person, they themselves
will undertake to act in His stead, to execute
the laws of the kingdom. The
establishment of such a kingdom is what the Jews
desired in the days of Christ. They would have
received Jesus, had He been willing to establish
a temporal dominion, to enforce what they
regarded as the laws of God, and to make them the
expositors of His will and the agents of His
authority. However, He said, My kingdom is
not of this world. John 18:36. He would not
accept the earthy throne. DA 509.
The Founders
of America: The Preconditions of Freedom
To break the power of Rome in the Public
Square and the persecutions of centuries and
centuries, the Founders of America saw as the precondition
of religious freedom in a pluralistic society
the requirement that piety be privatized, thus
separating church and state, and creating
spiritual space for every American to worship as
he or she wishes, without state interference.
In return for this freedom. Believers are
expected only to give up the ambition to
political rule in the name of their faith-that
is, the ambition to bring the whole of social
life into conformity with their own inevitably
partial and sectarian theological convictions.
This is the literal bargain that secures
social peace and freedom for all Americans.
Damon Linker, The Theocons, p. 224.
It is error alone which needs the
support of government. Truth can stand itself.
-Thomas Jefferson
Separation of
Church and State
This separation of Church and State, the
principles of Protestantism and Republicanism,
has established the preconditions for thriving
religious life and an extraordinary degree of
political stability.
Believing with you that religion
is a matter which lies solely between man and his
God, that he owes account to none other or
his faith or his worship, that the legislative
powers of government reach actions only, and not
opinions, I contemplate with sovereign reverence
that act of the whole American people which
declared that their legislature should make
no law respecting an establishment of religion,
or prohibiting the free exercise thereof, thus
building a wall of separation between Church and
State. Thomas Jefferson, letter
responding to a committee of the Danbury Baptist
Association of Connecticut, January 1, 1802.
It is proper to take alarm at
the first experiment on our liberties. We
hold this prudent jealousy to be the first
duty of citizens, and one of the noblest
characteristics of the late revolution. The
freeman of America did not wait until usurped
power had strengthened itself by exercise, and
entangled the question in precedents. They saw
all the consequences by denying the principle.
We revere this lesson too much soon to forget
it. Who does not see that the same authority
which can establish Christianity, in exclusion of
all other religions, may establish, with the same
ease, any particular sect of Christians, in
exclusion of all other sects?-James Madison,
Memorial and Remonstrance of 1785
against the proposal of the House of
Delegates of Virginia to provide, through
assessments, for teachers of the Christian
religion.
A Ruling Theocratic Philosophy
It is the work of the Roman Catholic
Theocons to forge a ruling theocratic
philosophy that will return Roman
Catholicism to the Public Square, and restore
coercive power to Rome by the destruction of
Separation of Church and State. This is that
story of how it has happened in America, once the
land of the free, and home of the brave
Rise of the Theocons
Damon Linker, one-time editor of First
Things has taken pen in hand to warn the
world that Rome is taking over the United States
government in a blockbuster new book with a
lengthy title and subtitle: The Theocons:
Secular America Under Siege: For the past three
decades, a few determined men have worked to
inject their radical religious ideas into the
nations politics. This is the story of how
they succeeded. (New York: Doubleday, 2006).
Roman Catholic Radicals Lead the
Theoconservative Movement That Now Sits At the
Pinnacle of Political Power
Almost all of them Catholic radicals,
joined by a few Jews and a Lutheran who converted
to Catholicism, straight out of the Jesuit
Marxist/pantheistic counter cultural revolution
of the 1960s, would become revolutionary leaders
of the theoconservative movement that would take
over the Republican party and would set out to
utterly reshape the culture, politics, and
religion of the nation, attempting to offer a comprehensive
ideology of Catholic Christianity to the people
of America. One of these leaders set out to
become a Christian Marx, offering America a
comprehensive religious ideology a
religiously informed public philosophy for the
American experiment in ordered liberty. [Richard
John Neuhaus, The Catholic Moment: The Paradox
of the Church in the Post-modern World (New
York: Harper & Row, 1987), 284] quoted in
Linker, The Theocons, p. 65.
Breathtaking Revisionism: The
Theocons Revise American History, Claiming
America for Catholicism
In the early 1970s, the theocons
proposed
to reveal the numerous ways in
which the political system of the United
States already presupposed
and drew on Catholic-Christian assumptions.
Linker, 69. The theocons drew heavily on
Jesuit John Courtney Murray, S.J., who insisted
that the United states was the Western
nation that more than nay other had faithfully
carried the heritage of Catholic Christendom into
the mid-twentieth century.
It was a breathtaking act of
historical revisionism one in which
Catholicism was portrayed not as the enemy of
modern liberalism but rather as its true source
and indispensable foundation. Indeed, Murray
maintained that from the countrys
seventeenth-century origins, the American people
had tacitly adhered to a Catholic-Christian
consensus on moral matters. Linker, 71.
The New Catholic Mission: To Save
America From Destruction
Since the mainline Protestant churches
had ceased their appointed function to maintain
Americas religious consensus, the
time had come for the Catholic Church to take on
this responsibility to accept the task
of preserving and even reconstituting Americas
theological essence.
Jesuit Murray Claims America Founded
on Catholic Medieval Theory: Return to Catholic
Roots or Be In Peril
The issue, Murray boldly
claimed, was not whether Catholicism was
compatible with democracy; it was whether
American democracy could survive unless it
reconstructed a public consensus around those
elementary affirmations upon which it
was founded affirmations whose roots
Murray believed were not the original product of
the Enlightenment and its American deist heirs,
but of the Catholic medieval theory of man and
society. Either the United States
would return to its medieval Catholic roots or
the very existence of its democratic order would
be imperiled those were Americas
only option. George Weigel, Catholicism
and the Renewal of Democracy, 90, citing
Murray, quoted in Linker, p. 72.
The Thesis of the Catholic Talk Show
Hosts
In short, Rome has stepped into the
vacuum where once Protestantism held strength,
and is now rewriting American history, just as it
did in Ireland when she claimed Patrick as her
saint, now claiming America as her own enterprise.
This is the thesis upon which the Roman
Catholic talk shows function every day, educating
tens of millions of Americans hour by hour. This
is the thesis of the Roman Catholic education now
that the Constitution is a Catholic
document, steeped in the writings of the Jesuit
Cardinal Bellarmine (1542-1621). This is
the thesis upon which the White House, the
majority in Congress, and half the Supreme Court
is now functioning.
Jesuit Counter Reformation Now
Triumphing in America
In essence, what we are seeing with the
theocons, is the imposition of Jesuit Counter-Reformation
concepts from the Jesuit Cardinal Bellarmine and
the Futurism of the Jesuit Francisco Ribera
applied from the highest levels of the White
House and Congress, right down through to the man
on the street through the Roman Catholic talk
show hosts. The Catholic Counter Reformation,
after centuries, is now finally triumphing in
America over the dead Protestantism, which is no
longer even knows what the Counter Reformation
was.
Papal Social Encyclicals to Ground
the Nations Consensus and Public Philosophy
The theocons proposed that the Roman
Catholic social encyclicals, especially those of
John Paul IIs pontificate, should ground
the countrys foundational consensus and
ultimately serve as an interdenominational public
philosophy capable of sustaining the American
experiment into its third century.
Weigel, Catholicism and the Renewal of
Democracy, 93, 94, in Linker, 73.
Evangelicals and Catholics Together:
An Enormous Theocon Triumph
The Evangelicals and Catholics
Together: The Christian Mission for the Third
Millennium document, signed March 29, 1994,
was an enormous triumph for the theocons,
bringing the intellectual heft of
Catholicism together with the zealous religiosity
of the evangelicals. Linker, 84, 85. It
provided a vision of Americas religious
and political future a future in
which upholding theological orthodoxy and moral
traditionalism overrode doctrinal disagreements,
a future in which the most orthodox and
traditionalist Christians set the public tone and
policy agenda for the nation. Linker,
86.
Theocons Construct the Image of the
Beast, A Replica of Papal Power for the World
The religio-political construct designed
to create a religio-political ruling philosophy
in the United State, developed by these
theoconservatives ideologues, is easily
recognized by the student of Bible prophecy to be
the ideological foundations of the formation of
the image of the beast, foretold in Revelation 13,
a power that would be a replica, or image of
the papacy, a power that would require submission
of every person on pain of death (Revelation
13:15), a power that would impose the Mark of
the Beast (Revelation 13:16-18).
Marxist Template With Roman Catholic
Theological Imagination Fused With Evangelical
Fervor
However, out of the depths of the vortex
of Satanic power unleashed by the beast that
ascendeth out of the bottomless pit that makes
war against the two witnesses of the Old and New
Testaments (Revelation 11:7), recognized to be
Jesuitical communism, which under the Jesuit
front organization of the Illuminati launched by
French Revolution, the principles of which were
later elaborated in the writings of Karl Marx in
1848, has emerged the organizational template
for world revolution which has now been
synthesized with the agenda and theological
imagination of Roman Catholicism and the fervor
of evangelicalism to form a religio-political
power that has taken over the nation that was
once Protestant, once was Bible believing.
Marching Toward Totalitarianism and
Probations Close
Extremely dangerous forces have now been
unleashed in America. So dangerous are these
forces that they will result in a totalitarian
society the likes of which the world and the
universe has never seen. The theoconservative
movement has constructed a ruling theological
ideology that is an image of papal power. The
Bible declares, 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. Revelation
13:15.
A Ruling Theological Ideology
Brilliant minds, worked upon mightily in
the 1960s by the demonic influences of Jesuit
Marxist revolutionary fervor, a power identified
in the Bible as the beast that ascendeth
out of the bottomless pit, the power of the
Jesuitical communism unleashed in the French
Revolution revealed in Revelation 11, then
aligned themselves in the 1970s with various
elements of the roman Catholic ultraconservative
movement which, in 1955 set out to take over
America, have steadily, persistently, sought to
construct a ruling theological ideology
to impose upon America.
Erasing Protestant Memory,
Substituting a False Catholic Memory
With the Jesuit countercultural
revolution of the 1960s, Americas
Protestant memory was erased. This is always a
primary effect when Jesuitical communism is
applied to a nation. Now in the place of
Protestantism a Roman Catholic false memory
is being imposed a memory that
is teaching the people that it was Rome and her
principles = based on Cardinal Ballarmine and
others, instead of Protestantism and the
principles of the Word of God, that founded the
nation called America, and created the
Constitution.
Theocons Concept That American Ideals
and Institutions Derive From Catholic Principles
and Assumptions
Two of the most prominent Theocons
Neuhaus and George Weigel decided to
ground their theoconservative movement in
concepts derived from Roman Catholicism
and to claim that what they advocated was not
the imposition of an alien religious ideology
onto an otherwise secular nation but rather the recognition
that American ideals and institutions ultimately
derive from and depend on Catholic-Christian
principles and assumptions. The
theoconservative revolution in American life
would be a recovery operation, not an act of
innovation
. This is a historical fantasy
Damon Linker, The Theocons: Secular
American Under Siege, p. 210.
There is virtually no one left who
understands the truth that it was Protestantism
that founded this nation as a Protestant nation.
A massive cloud of books and media has arisen to
rewrite the history and interpretation of
American history, casting it in the mold of Rome.
The public voice of Protestantism was effectively
silenced forty years ago when the Jesuits took
over the culture of the nation in the sixties,
and today the last vestige of a tattered
Enlightenment philosophy is fighting a rear guard
action as the power unleashed by the Jesuits in
culture in the sixties has collapsed the
Enlightenment, preparing the way for Romes
takeover.
A Protestant Government
The Lord through His servant,
declares that ours was originally a Protestant
government: If, in our land of boasted
freedom, a Protestant government should sacrifice
every principle which enters into the
Constitution, and propagate papal falsehood and
delusion, well may we plead, It is time for
thee, Lord, to work, for they have made void thy
law. RH 12-18-88
Soon Almost No One Will Know Americas
Protestant Heritage
Soon almost no one will know the truth
of Americas founding as a Protestant nation.
Soon almost no one will remember that it was
Protestantism that gave the Bill of Rights.
Protestantism has been erased from having a voice
in the public square, and Romes voice is
increasingly heard in the vacuum created by
Jesuitical Marxisms ideology.
Three Unclean Spirits Lead to
Armageddon
And I saw three unclean spirits
like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon,
and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the
mouth of the false prophet.
For they are the spirits of
devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the
kings of the earth and of the whole world, to
gather them to the battle of that great day of
God almighty
And he gathered them together
into a place in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.
Revelation 16: 13,14, 16.
A vacuum now exists where once the
mighty power of Protestantism, founded on the
Word, held sway. Spinning ferociously into that
vacuum are the forces led by the three unclean
spirits of Revelation 16:13 that come out of the mouth
of the dragon (spiritualism which includes
Jesuitical communism or Marxism), the mouth
of the beast (Rome) and the mouth of the
false prophet (apostate Protestantism which
teaches salvation in sin [as did all the
false Old Testament prophets such as Hannaniah in
the book of Jeremiah], and Islam, which rests
upon the false prophet Muhammad [a religion
launched by Rome) that will lead the world to
Armageddon. The whirlwind is coming
and
coming fast.
Out of the Mouths
The fact that the unclean spirits emerge
out of the mouths of these powers is
significant. It is their ideology, their teaching,
and their words that devils use to lead
the world to Armageddon.
Rome Rides to Power on the
Revolutionary Fervor of Jesuitical Communism, or
Marxism
The beast that thou sawest was,
and is not; and shall ascend out of the
bottomless pit, and go into perdition; and
they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose
names were not written in the book of life from
the foundation of the world, when they beheld the
beast that was, and is not, and yet is.
Revelation 17:8.
Furthermore, the beast (Rome) comes back
to power riding on the beast that ascendeth
out of the bottomless pit-Jesuitical communism,
the same power described in Revelation 11:7,
which launched the French Revolution. Theoconservative
ideology takes the thinking of the beast power
and drives it with the revolutionary fervor of
Jesuitical Marxism, the power of the bottomless
pit.
Cousins: Neocons and Theocons,
Working Together to Fulfill Revelation 13
The work of the ideology of the neocons,
the neoconservatives, is to project
American power over the entire world. The
template of their ideology is the Peloponnesian
War-the struggle between the democracy of Athens
and the militaristic state of Sparta. While the neoconservatives
have as their work the projection of American
power over all the world in fulfillment of
Revelation 13, their cousins, the theoconservatives
work is to erect the image of the Roman hierarchy
over the domain carved out by their cousins the
neocons. The neocons had their Marxist birth
as Trotskyites, theocons in the Jesuitical
counter Cultural Revolution of the 1960s. Both
neocons and theocons then merged their Marxist
fervor of global revolution with right-wing
conservative ideology. Both ideologies have now a
ruling place in our nation.
Engaging the Issues of the Day
There are those now living, in
studying the prophecies of Daniel and John, received
great light from God as they passed over the
ground where special prophecies were in process
of fulfillment in their order. They
bore the message of time to the people. The truth
shone out clearly as the sun at noonday. Historical
events, showing direct fulfillment of prophecy,
were set before the people, and the prophecy was
seen to be a figurative delineation of events
leading down to the close of this earths
history. The scenes connected
with the working of the man of sin
are the last features plainly revealed in this
earths history. The people now
have a special message to give to the world, the
third angels message. Those who, in their
experience, have passed over the ground, and
acted a part in the proclamation of the first,
second, and third angels messages, are
not so liable to be led into false paths as
those who have not had an experimental knowledge
of the people of God
2 SM 102.
In every generation God has
sent His servants to rebuke sin, both in the
world and in the church. However, the people
desire smooth things spoken to them, and the pure,
unvarnished truth is not acceptable. Many
reformers, in entering upon their work,
determined to exercise great prudence in
attacking the sins of the church and the nation.
They hoped, by the example of a pure Christian
life, to lead the people back to the doctrines of
the Bible. However, the Spirit of God came upon
them as it came upon Elijah, moving him to rebuke
the sins of a wicked king and an
apostate people; they could not
refrain from preaching the plain utterances of
the Bibledoctrines which they had been
reluctant to present. They were impelled to
zealously declare the truth and the danger that
threatened souls. The words that the Lord gave
them they uttered, fearless of consequences, and
the people were compelled to hear the warning.
GC 606.
Engaging the Spiritual Condition of
the World and the Church
The Old Testament prophets engaged the
spiritual condition of their day in power. John
the Baptist, the mightiest man of Israel until
the showing of the Christ, sought to bring the
nation to repentance. However, God could not
bring Israel to the place where He alone had
their undivided attention, to where they would
listen to Him alone, trust in Him alone, walk
with Him alone. Instead of humility and obedience,
Jesus found pride and rebellion. He came to
His own, and His own received Him not. John
1:11.
490 Years of Probationary Time
Strange indeed is the perversity of
rebellion. Israel of old flattered herself that
she was the chosen of God, the ones for whom the
great miracles of the Old Testament times had
been worked. She became so self-centered, so
proud, that God gave her 490 years of probation-the
seventy weeks of Bible prophecy recorded in
Daniel 9: 24-27. When the long-hoped for messiah
came, Israel was so self-satisfied as a nation,
so fixated upon themselves, that they saw in Him
no beauty that they should desire him (Isaiah 53:2),
they despised and rejected Him, their only hope.
Their self-will, their demonic control, was more
precious to them than the Messiah Himself, God in
human flesh, and His gracious teachings from
heaven.
And so, it is today. There is a time of
probation allotted to men-to individuals, to
cities (Matthew 11: 21-24), and to nations (Daniel
5: 18-28). The time of Israels probation
finally ran out at the end of the seventy weeks
of Bible prophecy in AD34 with the stoning of
Stephen (Acts 7). Israel was given 490 years to
straighten up-Seventy weeks are determined
(cut off) upon thy people and upon thy holy city,
to finish the transgression, and to make an end
of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity,
and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to
seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint
the most Holy. Daniel 9:24.
Stephen Delivered Gods Riv, or
Covenant Lawsuit
Instead of welcoming God in human flesh,
instead of laying aside all else to pay
attention to Him, learn from Him, and obey Him,
thus bringing in everlasting righteousness, they
murdered him on the cross-the most cruel form of
death known by the Romans. Crucify Him,
Crucify Him, the mob cried. And probation
ran out at the end of the seventy weeks in AD 34,
where Stephen, a preaching deacon, was stoned to
death for delivering Gods riv, it is called
in Hebrew, Gods covenant lawsuit, to them.
If We Do Not Engage the Issues of the
Day We Will Never Give the Loud Cry
If we do not engage the issues of our
day, just as did Elijah, John the Baptist, the
prophets, and Jesus, we will never know what has
hit us when everything comes unglued and Romes
sudden shock hits the nation and the church.
Moreover, we most certainly will never give the
Loud Cry or Second and Third Angels
Messages.
God Has Raised Up Men to Accurately
Delineate the Formation of the Image of the Beast
God, in His mercy, has raised up men who
are now portraying mightily the danger that
threatens the nation and the world, detailing for
us exactly how the ruling religio-political
ideology that constructs the image of the
beast began, developed, and took power. It
behooves us to pay attention to Bible prophecy
and its historical fulfillment, just as it
did William Miller, A. T. Jones, and all the
early founders of Gods remnant last-day
movement. They studied, they searched history,
and they went and found the most obscure and yet
essential historical fulfillment of the
delineation of Bible prophecy. We can do no less
today.
The Players in Theocon Ideology
What are the forces involved in the
construction of this ruling religio-political
ideology?
Marxism: Developed by the Jesuits
in Paraguay from 1600-1750 amongst the Guarani
Indians, based on Platos Republic, the
leopard Greek elements of papal power (Revelation
13:2), under the Jesuit front organization of the
Illuminati, were unleashed in the French
Revolution. The story is told in Revelation 11
and the Great Controversy, pages 265-288. This is
the beast that ascendeth out of the
bottomless pit to make war on the two witnesses-the
Bible and the Holy Spirit that work through the
144,000 servants of God. Revelation 11:3-14.
The worldwide dissemination of the
teachings of the French Revolution will result in
the same globally in a reign of terror around the
globe. Ed. 228. This power already slaughtered
one hundred million souls in the Twentieth
Century. For documentation read The Black Book
of Communism: Crimes, Terror, Repression by
Courtois, Werth, Panne, Paczkowski, Bartosek, and
Margolin, tr. Jonathan Murphy and mark Kramer. (Cambridge,
MA: Harvard University Press, 1999). All these
authors are French, Poles, or Czechs. Not one
American apparent among them. Is communism dead?
Hardly, when there are over 10,000 Marxist
professors in over 400 universities in America.
Roman Catholicism: This is the
seat of Satans power on the earth. This
compromise between paganism and Christianity
resulted in the development of the man of
sin foretold in prophecy as opposing and
exalting himself above God. That gigantic
system of false religion is a masterpiece of
Satans power a monument of his
efforts to seat himself upon the throne to rule
the earth according to his will. GC 50.
This is the power that the testimony of Jesus in
Revelation 17:6 describes as drunken with
the blood of the saints, and with the blood of
the martyrs of Jesus. Conservative
historians of the 19th century place
the slaughter by this power at one hundred
million. Now Rome is roaring back to power.
The theocons draw on Jesuit theology-such
as John Courtney Murray, S.J. and Jesuit Cardinal
Bellarmine, and Papal Social Encyclicals to fit
into the Marxist template of global revolution.
The Evangelicals: The
theological ideology of the theocons-a synthesis,
or weaving together, of the thinking and ideology
of these two most dangerous powers on earth, has
been adopted by the evangelicals, and espoused by
a political party that now rules all three
branches of government. The most serious portent
now faces the nation and the world. It will
culminate in the global imposition of the mark of
the beast. Revelation 13: 16-18.
