EUROPE
AND THE VATICAN ARE MERGING TOGETHER AS THE HOLY ROMAN EMPIRE
It is
important to watch how Europe is dealing with many of the same problems we are
facing in America. The European continent has been dealing with mass
immigration of foreigners who are predominately Muslim, with border security,
and rising nationalism. How they deal with these problems has important end time
ramifications.
It is
without argument that Europe has a Christian heritage that is predominately
Catholic. The Vatican and Europe have a strong relationship. It can be argued
that Europe is predominately Catholic in their religious beliefs. The Catholic
Church is the Roman Church.
Since
Emperor Constantine legalized Christianity about 325 AD it has been the
religion of Europe. The Catholic Church began in Rome and has been centered in
Rome for the past 1,700 years.
Prior to
Christianity becoming the state religion of Rome Emperor Constantine (r.306 – 337 AD) passed his
famous national Sunday law. It was ‘dies Solis’—day of the sun,
"Sunday"—as the Roman day of rest.
From this time onward the Roman
Church began to embrace pagan holidays and incorporate them into the religious
calendar. This also made Christianity more palatable to the pagans--they could keep their pagan holidays. Rome also began to purge the church of anything “Jewish” in order to
make a clean break from the roots of the early church.
The scripture in Daniel 7.25 has
already been partially fulfilled. The times and laws have been changed from the
Biblical commands to those dictated by Rome. The “spirit of Antichrist” has been
at work for 1700 years already.
¶ Little children, it
is the last hour, and as ye have heard that the antichrist comes, likewise
there are also beginning to be many antichrists, by which we know that it is
the last time. They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been
of us, they would no doubt have continued with us; but this happened that it
might be made manifest that they were not all of us.
1
John 2.18-19
Let that therefore abide in you, which ye have heard from the
beginning. For if that which ye have heard from the beginning shall abide in
you, ye also shall continue to abide in the Son and in the Father. 1 John 2.24
The
Biblical times, laws, and calendar are one entity. These have been changed to
suit the desires of men. I am not condemning the Roman Catholic Church. I am
proving through scripture and history that the word of God has been manipulated and changed
from its original directives to Israel. If we are grafted into Israel they
apply to us. We are part of the "Commonwealth of Israel" now.
The
church wants nothing to do with their Hebrew roots or Israel. This is nothing new—it has
been going on since 325 AD. If you wish to understand Biblical prophecy and end
time eschatology you must allow the Bible to interpret itself with the second
witness of history. It is right there in 1 John 2.
Remember,
the Book of Revelation says seven times that the world has been deceived. I am
merely pointing out the deception by allowing the Bible and history to be my
witnesses. This is not a popular view—but it is true. It can be difficult to
accept the truth. Truth cuts.
Does
this make everyone in the Roman Church condemned? That is not the point. There
are many very good people in the Roman Church. I grew up in the Roman Church.
God is our final judge. A person who has been deceived is not a condemned
person—they are merely deceived.
If
an insurance salesman comes to your aged parent’s home and deceives them into
buying coverage they don’t really need they have been deceived. This world has
been deceived. This does not make your parents bad people—they have been deceived.
The
real question is what to do with the truth once you hear it! This is the most
difficult thing for anyone to deal with—the truth. Most cannot “handle the
truth” when they hear it. Excuses abound! So many reason “why not” to accept
it. Once a person hears the truth it becomes their responsibility to take the required action. Most are content to stick with their "traditions."
If
we desire to understand eschatology we must first determine, as Pilate asked, “What
is truth?” Truth will disturb you to your very core. Truth cuts to bone and
marrow. Allow the word and history to interpret themselves--Not what organized
religion wants you to believe.
Europe
is questioning their roots. They are trying to decide who they are and how they
will move forward. The only organization that can overcome borders is the Roman
Church located in the Vatican. They can unify Europe by a common centuries old religion in a way politics cannot.
Only
their history is continuous for 1700 years. Daniel 2 and 7 point out the 4 kingdoms.
The 4th Kingdom is the one that has not passed away into history. It
is Roman and it lives. The "Stone" is going to smash this mountain.
Europe
is looking inward and reaching back to their Christian roots. They are looking
back to the many reincarnations of the Holy Roman Empire beginning with
Charlemagne in 799 AD. A study of European history will reveal many
reincarnations of the Holy Roman Empire. It was founded on the sword and shed
blood—not pretty. History is always sanitized as the centuries pass.
Europe
is realizing their culture, roots, and survival will depend on them returning
to their Roman roots. This is a great article that was recently published on
this topic: https://www.thetrumpet.com/18703-is-a-devout-catholic-about-to-lead-the-eu
Europe
is beginning to understand the threat to their culture on the immigration and
border issues. They are beginning to understand they cannot allow Islam to
overcome them or their culture will cease to exist. They have one strong tower
to look towards—the Vatican and the Roman Empire.
I
have found the Trumpet site to be very informative on these current events. I
am not a member of their organization. I have found them to be correct in interpretation of the
geopolitical events taking place in Europe. They approach from a Biblical/Historical
prophetic angle.
We
do not have to agree with everything we learn from various branches of the Body
of Yeshua—but we need to sift and winnow for truth. When I began searching for truth
the Lord pointed out a Shakespearian quote to me: “It
is by indirections we must find things out.”
I
had been praying and seeking and began to realize some of the things I was
learning was from sources not always “respected” in Christian circles. I was
questioning the Lord about this and the above quote popped up one day while
searching the internet. I have to admit it blew me away! I had a hearty laugh
over this. How true!
Don’t
hesitate to refer to thetrumpet.com as you follow events in Europe and the Middle
East. Get the truth and winnow out the false from all your sources. Let the
Bible interpret itself through the course and truth of history. Allow history
to be the second witness. Don’t jump to conclusions. No hurry. God is in
control. Allow the spirit within you to witness to truth.
It
is the WORD of the LORD that should be our final witness. It is not “The Lord
told me” by which we discover truth. It is the Word of the Lord and constant
seeking and confirming that “tells” us. If it doesn’t conform to the word
discard it.
The
word tells us in Revelation that the end time church will be an apostate church
of worldly power. Judge for yourself through the word and history where, how, and what
it is.
