I understand from your post that you are from Switzerland. I have many relatives in Switzerland that I do not know. My ancestors lived on the border of France, Germany and Switzerland near the disputed war torn area of Alsace Lorraine. Thousands of people left that area in the 1800's due to the border disputes between the French and Germans. Many of my relatives left that region and came to America but many on my mothers side stayed and live in Switzerland. You may be familiar with the sir name..... Monnet?Daniel, you stress in your post that you don't believe that an old man will become the antichrist, that it will be a man in his prime that will rule the world during the end times. You mentioned world leaders from the past that were much younger such as Hitler, Napoleon, and Alexander the Great. And in your line of thinking a young vibrant Obama would be a much better fit than an old crusty dead risen pope as I advocate. Logic would seem to be soundly on your side of the discussion. That being said though, I don't think we should take the logical approach but the biblical one.Let's reflect on a few things........God knows, Satan knows, and we know that we are just looking at a 7 year time frame. And God's whole purpose in this 7 years is to save the ones who will answer His call and punish the rest. Satan's whole purpose is to "deceive" as many people as possible, to steal as many souls from God as possible during this period. So Satan will not take the obvious or logical approach in the "great deception" that will occur as per scripture. The bottom line is.......how can Satan deceive the largest amount of people and con them into taking his mark, his name, or his number during this short 7 year span?From Satan's perspective.... if you were trying to deceive people in this contest to win souls and coax them to come over to the dark side, would you use the strong heavy handed approach such as a socialist dictatorship (U.S. under Obama after the rapture) or the sweet and nice approach ....a sweet, calm, beloved old pope who is mysteriously back on the world scene (as per scripture) and has all the answers to calm a terrified planet.I know which approach I would use to "suck in" millions of confused biblically challenged people. I would use the candy approach.... not the stick approach and so will Satan who as the bible says indwells this beast who will become the antichrist.Along those lines of thinking, let me portray what I see as the soon impending scenario, which will hopefully answer the questions you have asked me from your post..........As per scripture, a Spring rapture will remove millions from the planet to be caught up with Jesus in the clouds. The rapture will coincide with a terrible world wide earthquake prompting volcanoes to erupt around the planet. The dust from the earthquake and volcanoes will darken the sun and make the moon look red like blood. The sky will roll up like a scroll maybe opening to another dimension. When it does the raptured saints of God will rise to meet Jesus and at the same time Satan and millions of his fallen angels will be forced the other way.... to earth. Thousands of UFO's and demonic beings will get a one way ticket from the heaven lies to earth.The residents of earth will be beyond terrified with what is transpiring on the planet. The kings of the earth, the great men, the rich men, the commanders, the mighty men, every slave and every free man will hide themselves in caves and dwellings for the great fear they have. Millions of people and loved ones will have disappeared and the populous will be desperate for answers.When the rapture dust settles someone will step forward on the world stage with all the answers as to what just happened and where the missing people have gone. And this will not be the president of the United States or an other world leader.... but Satan himself. He will have assumed the image of a former beloved pope who has risen from the bottomless pit. He will calmly, sweetly but with great authority explain to the planet what has just happened. In doing so he will return some degree of calm and order to the planet. He will then formulate a 7 year plan or covenant to restore peace and prosperity to the planet. His world wide organization the Roman Catholic Church will break the world up into ten areas. The political wing of the RCC the Jesuits have already accomplished this division. As per scripture 10 new world leaders who were powerless before will be given power over these ten world divisions. They will ultimately form a one world government, a one world currency and a one world religion.This will not happen overnight......it will take Satan indwelled in this image of a pope 42 months of "acting sweet and playing nice" to schmooze the people and orchestrate his 10 division power base. The end result after 42 months will be a power strangle hold on the planet.As Satan has infiltrated all of our Christian churches, he will also infiltrate the governments of the world especially the United States. Remember Eph.6:12... (we fight against a stacked deck) We fight not against flesh and blood (man) we fight against principalities, against powers, against rulers of darkness of this age, against spiritual wickedness in the heavenly places. Think of how evil our world governments are at the present time. Can you imagine how evil and corrupt these governments will be after the rapture happens and millions of righteous people have been extracted from the planet and how easy it will be for Satan and his minions (Eph.6:12) to covertly accomplish his mission during these initial 42 months.The bible says that after these initial 42 months are over and Satan as the antichrist has his whole deceptive scheme in place..... that everything will change. No more sweet and nice, the mask so to speak will come off. This image of a risen pope indwelled by Satan will then blaspheme the true God, blaspheme the true God's name, God's tabernacle, and those who dwell in heaven. In other words he will declare himself to be the true God of the universe and tell lies and falsehoods about God's Holy name, God's throne and the inhabitants of heaven. At this 42 month mark, Satan in declaring himself as the true God of the universe..... will demand to be treated as such. He will demand that all people take his mark or his name or his number and if they fail to do so his enforcer the second beast and the rest of the team will put them to death.This pope will have arranged that the Jews be allowed to rebuild and worship in their temple in Jerusalem during the initial 42 months. Now that the mask has come off and this pope has declared himself as the only god, who now lives on earth with the people, he will cancel all Catholic, Christian, Jewish and other religious daily sacrifices and offerings. He will say that they need not offer these daily sacrifices and offerings up to heaven anymore because he the true god is now on earth and will demand that this worship be directed at him only.During the initial 42 months I believe a big part of the deception (icing on the cake) for helping consolidate this pope's power structure will be 100's of apparitions by the false Roman Catholic Mary that will happen around the planet deceiving millions.Also during these initial 42 months the 10 new kingdoms established by the antichrist will be set up and overseen by 10 new kings. These kingdoms would be like North America, South America, Europe, Africa, etc. and I believe they will be overseen by members of the "black pope's" organization, the Jesuits and Masons.The bible says that after these 10 kingdoms have been established with their 10 new kings from this organization that a new king will arise that does not belong to their organization. He will subdue (take over) 3 of these 10 kingdoms for himself, he will speak pompous words against the Most High, he will persecute the saints of the most high, he shall intend to change times and laws, and the saints will be given into his hand for 42 months. Meaning the second 42 month period of the 7 years. This king will start his reign of terror at the same time that the antichrist declares he is god and demands to be worshiped.Who is this king who takes over a third of the planet, speaks pompous words against the Most High, tries to change times and laws, and persecutes the saints of the Most High? I believe that would be Barack Obama, the second beast who some call the false prophet who I call the enforcer. I believe Obama will as scripture portrays work in concert with the antichrist (Satan) after the initial 42 months....... to make the last 42 months hell on earth for it's inhabitants.Daniel, you also asked me to answer two questions that you listed in your post. I copied them below and answered them in red
1. Does the actual pope and doctrine of the catholic
theology confess that Jesus is the Son of God or
that he is not the Son of God and do they do it
in publicity ? Yes, but that's only part of the story
(The catholic theology even with all their unbiblical
doctrines still confess that Jesus is the son of God)
The RCC has always been identified with Christianity because it upholds four fundamentals of the Christian faith:--The deity of Christ (as you mention)--The triune God--The virgin birth, and--The bodily resurrection and return of Christ to the earthHowever, Catholic teaching opposes the doctrine that is "most essential" to the Christian faith.....the doctrine of justification by faith alone. The Vatican not only denies this doctrine, but also condemns anyone who believes it. Other Catholic doctrines deny that Christ's work of redemption on the cross is finished and that His atonement was sufficient. For this reason the Catholic Church must be identified as an apostate church.There are scores of blasphemies perpetrated by the Catholic Church, I won't try to list them all but here are a few that deal with just "salvation" alone:The bible says salvation is only through Christ. Acts 4:12. The RCC says salvation is through the RCC (846)... Catechism of the Catholic ChurchThe bible says salvation is a gift of God's grace. Eph.2:8,9 The RCC says salvation is merited by doing good works (1815,1821,2010, 2027)The bible says salvation is by faith alone. Romans 5:9 The RCC says salvation is by faith plus the law, sacraments, and good works (1129,1131)The bible says salvation is at the moment a sinner believes the gospel. Eph.1:13,14 The RCC says salvation is a process from baptism to purgatory (161-2, 1254, 1255)The bible says salvation is secured by God. John 10:27-30 The RCC says salvation is never assured in this life (1036, 2005)The bible says that sins are expiated by Christ's blood. Romans 3:25 The RCC says sins are expiated by suffering in purgatory (1031-32)The bible says salvation glorifies God alone. Eph.1 The RCC says Mary and all the saints are also glorified (1476-77)The bible say the work of salvation is finished. John 19:30 The RCC says the work of salvation continues with daily sacrifices (611,1405)
2. Did Obama ever confess in publicity that Jesus is the
son of God ?I have no idea what he may have said at prayer breakfasts or at any other pubic forums where he may have shared his faith. What I do know is that actions speak louder that words and his actions from a biblical standpoint have been abysmal.Daniel, you also asked......So dear brother John B please tell to me and to the other
brethren of Five Doves how an old person can become the
political and military leader of the whole world as an
exception to the whole human political and military history ?
Daniel, my answer to that is.......Does it matter how old Satan is? He is the one who will be pulling the strings, not the old shell / image of a dead pope.Daniel, I hope I answered you questions and addressed your comments in a sufficient manor.Blessings to you there in Switzerland.............John B
