"The Blessed Hope Not the Pope"


LOOKING FOR THAT BLESSED HOPE, AND THE GLORIOUS APPEARING OF THE GREAT GOD AND OUR SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST......"
"......THESE THINGS SPEAK, AND EXHORT, AND REBUKE WITH ALL AUTHORITY.  LET NO
MAN DESPISE THEE."  TITUS 2:13,15
 
While this present-day erstwhile evangelical, watered-down, lukewarm Laodicean church is fawning all over the man who is either the False Prophet, the Antichrist or the obvious major "seatwarmer", we the remnant might remember to speak a word in season and out of season to stand up for what we believe.
 
I heard a major Christian TV personality the other day "explaining" why the Catholics called the Pope the Pope.
He said "well, they like to call him Papa, you know, just an affectionate term.....little uh designation... their way...uh....and oh, sometimes they call him the Bishop of Rome.....er....eh and, you know."
 
YES, WE KNOW.   THEY CALL HIM THE HOLY FATHER, THE INFALLIBLE HOLY SEE, THE VICAR IN THE STEAD OF GOD ON THE EARTH.
 
The Bible says to "honor all men", but it doesn't say to honor a heinous and diabolical system.

Talk about coming out of the closet!  Collars are turning around faster than leaves turn in autumn.  Those "Christian leaders" we pretty much knew were supporting the Pope are flaunting their true colors in a swirl of apostasy that is gaining tornado speed around us.
I see a large black cloud looming.....
 
But fast forward -- on a positive note, even the psychic Cardinal Malachy didn't hesitate to foretell the demise of the Harlot Church just at the Bible states it.  Malachy predicts that the last Pope, who is No. 112 called Peter the Roman, will see the destruction of the church after he has "guided" her (in truth seduced and used her) through perilous times, and as we understand, it will be after he has enabled the Antichrist to come to power.  Then when convenient, right on target the Antichrist repays his "partner-friend" by turning around and destroying the "church": "And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and BURN HER WITH FIRE. Revelation 17:16   She will deserve every flame.
 As it is said, "there is no honor among thieves."
 
As long as were are here and yes, to our last breath, may we "...EARNESTLY CONTEND FOR THE FAITH...."  Jude 3
"....that we may have BOLDNESS IN THE DAY OF JUDGMENT.."I John 4:17a  "THAT,WHEN HE SHALL APPEAR, WE MAY HAVE CONFIDENCE, AND NOT BE ASHAMED BEFORE HIM AT HIS COMING."  I JOHN 2:28b
