Hi David,
Just found your website today and I found it very enlightening. A different way of looking at things for sure. Regarding the topic of the “star of David” and which Bibles are corrupt, what can you tell me about the Jehovah’s witnesses and their Bible? Also, what do you think about the united states’ social security number etc? We have to have it..that scares me. Also you mentioned our money basically has hints at Satanism..what does all of that mean for Americans?
Thankyou for your work,
Mykala
Hi Mykala, thank you for you comment! I’m not well-studied about the Jehovah’s Witnesses and their Bible, so I can’t really provide insight. I’m sure you can find some YouTube videos about them.
The Jesuits of Rome are causing all people in the world to have an identification number, because that is how they will determine whether people can buy and sell in their One World Government. So the SS# isn’t the mark of the beast, just a tool of the evil ones.
As for the money, yeah it has masonic/Satanic symbols which tell a story. America is being used by the Jesuits to help overthrow the leaders of countries who have not bowed down to the Jesuits authority, and don’t have a Jesuit-Rothchild central bank, so they can’t control their money supply.
Having he mark of the beast means that you revere/worship (mark on forehead) and obey (mark on right hands, actions) the antichrist Pope of Rome.
The Jesuit General will have the Pope issue a command for people to either join with them in the One World Government, to be able to be a part of their one-world financial system. Those who revere (mark on forehead) and obey (mark on right hand, actions) will have the mark of the beast on them symbolically. Those who refuse will not be able to buy or sell in the new financial system.
I hope that helps,
David
I won’t even read your stuff, it’s garbage! The REAL church has an inexplicable desire to support Israel in EVERY WAY AND IN EVERYTHING!!!! The Holy Spirit has put on my heart this love and support and NOTHING AND NO ONE could ever move me from this!!! You are disgusting and no Christians in my mind!
Donna, the Scriptures tell us clearly who Israel is, and who it is not. Israel is made up of those who have a covenant relationship with the Father through the Son. It is not a state in the Middle East.
A remnant has always believed by faith and were saved. The rest tried to be saved by the law and they were lost. That’s true of the Israelites, the Jews, and Gentiles today.
The promises that were made to Abraham are ultimately to those who believe by faith, not his physical descendants.
Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, David, Daniel, etc. all believed that the Messiah would come and atone for their sins. We look back on that event.
Why do Christians focus on Jews in Israel, when the Word of God says that Jesus made both – Jews and gentiles, one church?
Ephesians 2:14-22 “For He Himself is our peace, who has made both (Jew and Gentile) one, and has broken down the middle wall of separation, having abolished in His flesh the enmity, that is, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, so as to create in Himself one new man from the two, thus making peace, and that He might reconcile them both to God in one body through the cross, thereby putting to death the enmity. And He came and preached peace to you who were afar off and to those who were near. For through Him we both have access by one Spirit to the Father. Now, therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief corner stone, in whom the whole building, being joined together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord, in whom you also are being built together for a dwelling place of God in the Spirit.”
Romans 2:28-29 tells us that a Jew is one inwardly, whose heart is circumcised.
“For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, nor is circumcision that which is outward in the flesh; but he is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the Spirit, not in the letter; whose praise is not from men but from God.”
Romans 9:6-8 says Abraham’s fleshly descendants ARE NOT the children of God.
“>For they are not all Israel who are of Israel, nor are they all children because they are the seed of Abraham; but, “In Isaac your seed shall be called.” That is, those who are the children of the flesh, these are NOT the children of God; but the children of the promise are counted as the seed.”
Galatians 3:7 tells us that ONLY those who are of faith are the children of God.
“Therefore know that only those who are of faith are sons of Abraham.”
Galatians 3:16 tells us that the seed of Abraham is Jesus Christ.
“Now to Abraham and his Seed were the promises made. He does not say,“And to seeds,” as of many, but as of one, “and to your Seed,” who is Christ.”
Galatians 3:28-29 tells us that followers of Christ (Jew and Gentile) are Abraham’s seed who receive the promises made to Abraham.
“There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. And if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.”
Paul is clearly telling us that true Israel, true Jews, believe by faith, and so inherit the promises made to father Abraham.
“But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.” 1 Peter 2:9
Everyone who believes in Christ by faith, are the Chosen People of God. They will inherit Holy Jerusalem when Christ returns.
The promise is yet to be fulfilled. It has not been fulfilled by Zionist Israel, which was created by the enemy to deceive the world.
hi david :),
can you help me reconcile these 3 “great tribulations” please?
matthew 24:21 — first century
revelation 2:22 — thyatira, during the 1260 years
revelation 7:14 — ??
theyre not the same? im confused. :p
thank you
HI Connie 🙂 The time of great tribulation that Messiah referred to in Matthew 24 was fulfilled from 66-70 A.D., when 1.1 million Jews died in and around Jerusalem from famine, pestilence, infighting, suicide, crucifixion and by the Roman sword. Here’s a study about that http://christianitybeliefs.org/end-times-deceptions/the-great-tribulation-of-matthew-24/
The time of tribulation for the Church of Smyrna was for 10 days, which was fulfilled during 10 years (1 day = 1 year), from 303-312 A.D., when Satan used Roman Emperor Diocletian, to try to wipe out the Early Church. They were the 5th seal martyrs. Here is study for that http://revelationtimelinedecoded.com/the-fifth-seal-of-revelation-6/
And the 1,260 days/42 months/time, times and half a time; all point to 1,260 years of tribulation during the reign of the Roman Catholic Church from 538-1798 A.D.; as they banned and burned Scriptures, and persecuted the saints, killing over 50 million. Here is that study. http://revelationtimelinedecoded.com/the-1260-year-reign-of-the-popes-of-the-roman-catholic-church/
I hope that helps!

Interesting website. The article ‘Jews who are not Jews’ was most interesting to me. I do get doubts about it but this is what I mostly believe. Today’s ‘Jews’ are hybrids with no traces of Hebrew blood. Of course, I don’t let on to other church people that I believe this way. I’d be ostracized, condemned, you name it. It was quite refreshing to find this site that reiterated what I already believed about this particular issue.
Yeah, it’s a touchy subject to be sure because of all of the programming from Pastors, who take Scripture of of context, to justify support for the modern state of Israel.
I do not read the bible as often as I should (I have ADHD and simply get distracted after 15 minutes – no matter what I read). I do watch videos of non futurist pastors and others who speak directly from the bible in teaching biblical prophecy (from the old and new testament). Even though my reading and time spent with God needs much improvement – I am working on a plan – I feel glad in knowing that as a struggling Christian God has blessed me with intuitiveness (spiritual understanding (?) or inner sense when “something isn’t right.” Even though I doubt these instincts sometimes, situations arise from God that reconfirm those original gut feelings, sort of like the reinforcement of a spiritual wake-up call.
As a young child and adolescent (and adult) I almost always had this eerie feeling of “something isn’t right here” whenever attending any type of Catholic event with friends, whether it be mass, weddings, or christenings. The Catholic rituals felt strange to me, like people uttering words without a sense of authenticity and more like “automatic pilot” mode. It felt as if in a church of the spiritually dead (of course I did not know how to describe it this way when younger).
Even worse (and most regrettably) were the awful feelings I experienced my junior year in high school when I became Queen of DeMolay (boys youth group of Masons). This only lasted one year but occasionally I was invited to attend ceremonies at private meetings with the Masons, along with the DeMolay group that I was associated with. Not being aware of the sinister nature of the Masons and Illuminati, I attended these “private meetings” and experienced a profound discomfort, telling my mother afterwards that those meetings felt like an abomination to Christ and that it was like walking into a funeral morgue or the den of satan. It was creepy and just felt “wrong” in an “I shouldn’t be here” sort of way.
Lately, what has been bugging me, causing confusion and unsettled feelings concern Catholicism and its links to the English Monarchy and other past European governments (Russia, the Scots, France, Italy, etc). In other words, what will be, are, or were the effects of Catholicism on the European nations with dynasties? I am especially interested in the revelation as pertains to the Queen of England and her grandchildren and great grandchildren living today. Looking back at my genealogy, I am a descendant (from 2 grandparent’s sides) of Scottish and English Knights, including “Knights of the Garter.” Can being a descendent have negative implications on me and my family? (It would explain a lot, if so).
Thank you for sharing your story George. You seem to have great discernment. As for being a descendant of Knights, I think that there can be ‘generational curses’ that are passed down, but I haven’t studied it too much. Try looking for that topic on YouTube videos. Keep learning and growing in the faith! David
David – I have not read one thing that you’ve printed thus far that I don’t agree with. I’ve been trying to not perish due to “lack of knowledge” and I haven’t been fortunate enough to find a church that I feel is a church for me to be fed from. People are transparent to me but most recently I am finding out that there are “wolf in sheep’s clothing” right in our pulpits. The world have been deceived and desensitized, and people are like something foreign to me anymore! You have no idea as to how thirsty I was before stumbling onto this site! My question is… how can we Christians come to reconcile with Sunday worship! I asked someone like 5/6 years ago why we worship on Sunday! My own father in law is a retired minister and he said “they changed it” I naturally replied with who had such authority over the word of God and I was met with a hardened glare. Which I just stared back sarcastically waiting for an fact base intellectual reply. I didn’t get a reply but I did get, “well if you want to go to church on Sunday you can believe what the Seven Day Adventist believe and go to their church. I replied by saying, respectfully, that I would simply comply with the word of God. What can you enlighten me with on this subject?
Blessings
Lisa
Hi David, thank you for this site, its been a blessing for sure! I was wondering what your thoughts are on the Revelation 12 “sign in the heavens” occuring over feast of trumpets 2017? The celestial event seems to line up perfectly with what John describes he sees. Anyway id love to get your opinion on it. Blessings!
Colin.
Thank you Colin! The sign in the heavens that will occur around the Feast of Trumpets in 2017 is very interesting, as it hasn’t happened since Messiah’s birth.
Here is study page that shares what will happen next as we await our Messiah’s glorious return, including information on the sign in heaven. Let me know what you think. Blessings to you! David
http://christianitybeliefs.org/revelation-timeline-decoded/future-revelation-fulfillment/
Thanks Dave, I did a search on the site for something on the sign and didn’t see anything, I guess I missed that article. From what I understand it was not quite exactly the same at His birth as what is occurring next year, not trying to split hairs, but it makes it even more of a rare event! I don’t believe the crown had the 3 planets in line and what is really remarkable this time is Jupiter is in retrograde motion in the womb of Virgo for 42 weeks; just about the exact time as human gestation. You may already have known that though 🙂 One more question for you if you dont mind…Im having trouble wrapping my head around Mark 14:62 “I am, said Jesus, “and you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power and coming with the clouds of heaven.” …” as not being a literal statement. If the part about coming in power was fulfilled with the destruction of Jerusalem, shouldn’t we expect to have seen Him coming on the clouds as well?
I understand what you’re saying about the signs in heaven not being exactly the same. Yeah, the retrograde motion of Jupiter is amazing!
I believe that Messiah coming in great power and glory has been misunderstood to represent His return at the end.
But the context of the Olivet Discourse is not the end times, but the time of the end of the Jews. They had been released from Babylonian captivity to rebuild the city and temple, and to prepare for the arrival of their promised Messiah. Some accepted Him as their Messiah, but most rejected Him and delivered Him up to be killed.
The punishment was the desolation of the city, temple and Jews. Messiah came back not to the Earth but in the clouds, as He commanded the Roman army to desolate them.
Then Messiah’s statement to the High Priest makes sense, as He told the priest that he would see this happen. And indeed that High Priest did see it happen.
Here is a study that explains it in more detail. http://christianitybeliefs.org/end-times-deceptions/matthew-24-jesus-coming-in-the-clouds-with-power-and-great-glory/
That study will make more sense if you also read this study The Great Tribulation of Matthew 24 http://christianitybeliefs.org/end-times-deceptions/the-great-tribulation-of-matthew-24/
I am a truth seeker, and I found you on Jonathan Kleck’s site. I read some of your posts and I am intrigued. I am wondering where you live, I am in Austin Texas. The reason I ask is because I too have found out through a church I used to go to about the pagan holidays years ago, and I also know that Saturday is the Sabbath. I am not a member of any church though, but am always looking for like believers. I have been on this trek since 1992, and it is great to find you, someone who seems to be right on about the truth. I love the Lord and God is my true Father. As we are in end times, I am interested in you, because I want to be right with God, and I want to serve Him in the right way. I was in the Church of God International for about 3 years, and as there are reasons why i am not associated with them at this time, I am searching for the right one. I do believe that today we must be very careful about what we stand for and what we teach others, so I am going to read all of your posts and blogs to see if I think you are who I should be learning from. I have so many who think that they are right and as God is not the author of confusion in this world, and Satan is, we must be careful as so many false ones are out there now. I am happy to meet you David….can I know about you, your testimony etc? Thank you, Lynne PS Write me on my private email please, I will be looking forward to your mail.
Be careful casting those stones brother. There are skeletons in everyone’s closet including yours. (In reference to Paul Sides and Ed Moore). In your attempt to prove them wrong, you must use scripture that is unblemished. Pre KJV. I’m not in agreement with all of his teaching but you need a better understanding of why for example, he calls Jesus Christ the antichrist. I get it. If you do not, then you have not studied scripture nearly enough.
So are you saying I have to use pre-KJV to be able to prove anyone wrong? I use the ISR98 literal translation.
As for casting stones, I am called and equipped to expose Paul Sides and Ed Moore, as what they teach is contrary to Scripture.
I fully understand why he calls Jesus Christ the antichrist, but Scripture clearly declares that it is the office of the papacy, the Popes of Rome, who claim to be Jesus Christ in the flesh, who proclaim to forgive sins and provide salvation.
Daniel, Paul and John all described the same thing, the antichrist Popes of Rome rising to power after the Roman Empire collapsed.
Daniel, Paul and John all described the same thing, the antichrist Popes of Rome rising to power after the Roman Empire collapsed.
Notice the commonality of the prophecies, that the Popes would rise to power, that they would speak against God, and that they would reign for 1,260 years.
After the internal collapse from civil war, famine and pestilence; and after the Roman Empire was attacked by many armies; the last Western Roman Emperor was removed in 476 A.D.
The Little Horn of Daniel describes the Popes, who rose to power after the collapse of the Roman Empire.
Daniel 7:8 “I considered the (10) horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things.”
The 10 horns of the 4th beast of Daniel 7 foretold that the Roman Empire would split into 10 civil kingdoms, and that a Little Horn, the Popes of Rome, would rise up among them, and pluck out three of the kingdoms that did not bow down to his authority. They subdued and destroyed three of the ten kingdoms, the Heruli, the Ostrogoths and the Vandals.
Daniel 7:25 “And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.”
Daniel foretold that the Little Horn, the Popes of Rome would speak against Elohim, and reign for 1,260 years.
The ‘restrainer’ of 2 Thessalonians 2 described the Roman Emperors who restrained the Popes from taking power.
“Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.” Verse 4
The Roman Emperor was the restrainer, because as long as he was in authority, the Popes could not take power.
Shortly after the last Roman Emperor was removed in 476 A.D., the Son of Perdition, the Popes of Rome, rose to power in 538 A.D. They sit among the followers of Messiah, which is the temple of God, and they proclaimed to be God.
The sea beast of Revelation 13 rose up out of the people groups, out of the 10 civil kingdoms, that were created when the Roman Empire collapsed.
“And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.” Verse 5
The Popes were given civil and ecclesiastic power as a church/state, and they took the Emperor’s title of Pontifex Maximus, and the ‘deadly head wound‘ was healed.
John is telling us the same thing as Daniel, that the Popes of Rome would reign for 1,260 years, and speaking blasphemies, proclaiming to be God and to forgive sins.
Revelation 17 tells us that five forms of Roman government, referred to as kings, had passed when John wrote Revelation.
“So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.” Verse 3
Here is the same beast as Daniel 7 and Revelation 13 described, with 10 horns.
“And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space. And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.” Verses 10-11
The seven kings represent the seven forms of government that existed in the Roman Empire, and the 8th represents the Popes of Rome who took power.
Five had passed. One was at the time, the Emperors of Rome. And one existed during the ‘short space’ between 476, when the last Roman Emperor was removed, and 538, when the Popes of Rome took power.
The antichrist is not just one man, it is a position, like the President of the United States. It has been fulfilled by many Popes.
Messiah said that many would come in my name, and the many Popes proclaim to be the “Vicar of Christ” or the “substitute Christ.”
The Popes reigned during 1,260 years of civil and ecclesiastic power, from 538-1798 A.D., until the Jesuits caused Napoleon’s army to take the Pope captive, removing his civil power.
The Jesuit Generals, the black popes, are the earth beast of Revelation 13, who control the Vatican and the White Pope.
Maybe it is you who has not studied Scripture enough…

From http://www.catholic.com/blog/tim-staples/the-immaculate-conception-in-scripture
1. Mary is revealed to be “full of grace” in Luke 1:28.
2. Mary is revealed to be the fulfillment of the prophetic “Daughter of Zion” of Zech. 2:10; Zeph. 3:14-16; Isaiah 12:1-6, etc.
3. Mary is revealed to be “the beginning of the new creation” in fufillment of the prophecy of Jer. 31:22.
4. Mary is revealed to possess a “blessed state” parallel with Christ’s in Luke 1:42.
5. Mary is not just called “blessed” among women, but “more blessed than all women” (including Eve) in Luke 1:42.
6. Mary is revealed to be the spotless “Ark of the Covenant” in Luke 1.
7. Mary is revealed to be the “New Eve” in Luke 1:37-38; John 2:4; 19:26-27; Rev. 12, and elsewhere.
8. Mary is revealed to be free from the pangs of labor in fulfillment of Isaiah 66:7-8.
Did you prove these answers by reading them in your Bible? Or did you just copy them from the Catholic website? Because none of these points have any merit.
1. Mary is revealed to be “full of grace” in Luke 1:28.
That does not mean that she was sinless, and that verse does not say that she is “full of grace”. The only New Testament verse that says “full of grace” is John 1:14, which is pointing to Messiah.
“And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.”
2. Mary is revealed to be the fulfillment of the prophetic “Daughter of Zion” of Zech. 2:10; Zeph. 3:14-16; Isaiah 12:1-6, etc.
Women in the Bible refers to a Church. The daughter is the followers of Messiah. Just like the Harlot of Revelation 17 is the Roman Catholic Church.
3. Mary is revealed to be “the beginning of the new creation” in fufillment of the prophecy of Jer. 31:22.
Jeremiah 31 is not about Mary. The backslidden daughter is the disobedience Jews. The new thing is the followers of Messiah, who love Him and obey Him.
4. Mary is revealed to possess a “blessed state” parallel with Christ’s in Luke 1:42.
Blessed does not mean sinless. “Blessed are ye that hunger now: for ye shall be filled. Blessed are ye that weep now: for ye shall laugh.” Luke 6:21
5. Mary is not just called “blessed” among women, but “more blessed than all women” (including Eve) in Luke 1:42.
More blessed does not mean sinless, it just means that she was more obedient and thus more revered.
6. Mary is revealed to be the spotless “Ark of the Covenant” in Luke 1.
There is no “Ark of the Covenant” mentioned in Luke 1, nor is the word spotless used in regard to Mary.
7. Mary is revealed to be the “New Eve” in Luke 1:37-38; John 2:4; 19:26-27; Rev. 12, and elsewhere.
None of those verses say that she is a New Eve.
8. Mary is revealed to be free from the pangs of labor in fulfillment of Isaiah 66:7-8.
Those verses are not about Mary, but about the Church, which is referred to as a woman.
Please show me the Bible verses that proclaim that Mary is our Intercessor? Our Co-redeemer? Our Saviour?
Well David, I’ve done my best to help bring you to Christ’s church on earth, but you continue to blaspheme both His church and His mother, so I’ll pray that you find this truth.
You continue to throw out things neither I nor Catholics claim such as Mary being our co-redeemer or savior. I will end with this question to you, where do you find it in the Bible that all revealed truth is only found in the Bible?
I’ll pray the Holy Spirit visits you to open your eyes. Be well.
All you have done is defend your beliefs instead of search for truth. Below are quotes from your Popes proclaiming Mary as Co-redeemer, Intercessor and Savior.
Pope Pius XI said, “What will it cost you, oh Mary, to hear our prayer? What will it cost you to save us? Has not Jesus placed in your hands all the treasures of His grace and mercy? You sit crowned Queen at the right hand of your son: your dominion reaches as far as the heavens and to you are subject the earth and all creatures dwelling thereon. Your dominion reaches even down into the abyss of hell, and you alone, oh Mary, save us from the hands of Satan.” 2
The Bible says, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” John 14:6
Pius IX said, “God has committed to the Blessed Virgin Mary the treasury of all good things in order that everyone may know that through her are obtained every hope, every grace and all salvation.” 3
The Bible says, “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.” Acts 4:12
Pope Leo XIII said, “With equal truth it may be said that of the great treasury of all graces given to us by Our Lord—for grace and truth came by Jesus Christ—nothing comes to us except through Mary’s mediation, for such is God’s Will. Thus, as no man goes to the Father but by the Son, so no one goes to Christ except through his mother.” 6
“My little children, these things I write to you, so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.” 1 John 2:1
Pope Benedict XV declared, “To such extent did Mary suffer and almost die with her suffering and dying Son; to such extent did she surrender her maternal rights over her Son for: man’s salvation . . that we may rightly say she redeemed the human race together with Christ.” 7
The Bible says, “Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree”)” Galatians 3:13
Pope Leo XIII said, “O Virgin most holy, none abounds in the knowledge of God except through thee; none, O Mother of God, obtains salvation except through thee, none receives a gift from the throne of mercy except through thee.” 9
“For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not as a result of works, so that no one may boast.” Ephesians 2:8-9
You can see the sources of those Pope quotes @ http://romancatholicbeliefs.org/
When someone, in this case the Pope of Rome, says something that is contrary to the Bible, then they are wrong.
As for your Popes, the fulfill Bible prophecy as the Son of Perdition of 2 Thessalonians 2 and the antichrist beast of Revelation 13. The home page of this website clearly shows how only the Pope fulfills this role. http://christianitybeliefs.org/end-times-deceptions/
‘Antichrist‘ is a Greek word. ‘Vicar‘ is an English word. The words are synonymous.
They have exactly the same meaning.
‘Antichrist‘ translated into the English is ‘Vice Christ‘ or ‘Vicar of Christ.’
‘Vicar of Christ, rendered into the Greek is ‘Antichristos‘ = ‘Antichrist.’
The ordinary use of the word in the Greek is decisive on this point.
The Popes of Rome rose to power after the last Roman Emperor was removed in 476 A.D., fulfilling 2 Thessalonians 2:7
St Gelasius I, who was the Pope from 492 – 496, was the first Pope to be called the “Vicar of Christ“.
And since then each Pope has been declared the Vicar of Christ, as they have proclaimed to be Christ in the flesh.
Pope Boniface VIII said “We declare, assert, define and pronounce to be subject to the Roman Pontiff is to every creature altogether necessary for salvation… I have the authority of the King of Kings. I am all in all, and above all, so that God Himself and I, the Vicar of Christ, have but one consistory, and I am able to do almost all that God can do. What therefore, can you make of me but God?” Pope Boniface VIII, Papal bull Unam sanctam, 1302 A.D.
Pope Pius IX said, “I alone… am the successor of the apostles, the vicar of Jesus Christ. I am the way, the truth, and the life…” Pope Pius IX , History of the Christian Church, by Henry Charles Sheldon, p. 59.
Pope Pius X declared, “The Pope is not simply the representative of Jesus Christ. On the contrary, he is Jesus Christ Himself, under the veil of the flesh. Does the Pope speak? It is Jesus Christ who is speaking, hence, when anyone speaks of the Pope, it is not necessary to examine but to obey.” Pope Pius X, Evangelical Christendom, Vol. 49, Jan 1. 1895 A.D., p. 15, “the organ of the Evangelical Alliance,” published in London by J. S. Phillips.
Pope Pius XII said, “…recognize the Holy, Catholic, Roman Church to be the only true Church of Jesus Christ, outside of which neither sanctity nor salvation can be found. Call them to the unity of the one fold, granting them the grace to believe every truth of our holy faith and to submit themselves to the Supreme Roman Pontiff, the Vicar of Jesus Christ on earth.” Pope Pius XII, The Raccolta, Benzinger Brothers, Boston, 1957 A.D., No. 626.
(5)
The position of Antichrist is not just one man, it is a position, like the President of the United States or the King of England.
The Vicar of Christ, the Vice-Christ, the Antichrist, the Popes of Rome, presents himself in the stead of the true Christ and must therefore be characterized by deception, dissimulation and counterfeit.
I’ll pray for the Holy Spirit to open up your eyes, for you have to mark of the beast on you. You revere (mark on your forehead) the Pope and you obey (mark on your right hand) his commands.
David
You know nothing of the Catholic church, the church that Jesus Christ started and everything else split off from. I will pray that you come to know the truth about the Universal church.
Sadly Bob, I know way too much about the Catholic Church, such as the fact that what the Popes teach is contrary to the Word of God. Here is a Bible study about what the Word of God says to Catholics. I pray that you have a covenant relationship with the Father through the Son. http://romancatholicbeliefs.org/
I read some of that website and I don’t know where that comes from. I would suggest looking at the Catechism of the Catholic church if you want to understand the beliefs. That site does not contain Catholic beliefs, but rather someone’s beliefs about the Catholic faith my friend.
So why do the Popes and priests of the Catholic Church revere the bones of dead men? http://romancatholicbeliefs.org/the-roman-catholic-church-reveres-skulls-and-bones/
Why do you the Popes and priests of the Catholic Church use symbols of pagan Sun god worship?

Keep in mind what the Church says about relics. It doesn’t say there is some magical power in them. There is nothing in the relic itself, whether a bone of the apostle Peter or water from Lourdes, that has any curative ability. The Church just says that relics may be the occasion of God’s miracles, and in this the Church follows Scripture.
The use of the bones of Elisha brought a dead man to life: “So Elisha died, and they buried him. Now bands of Moabites used to invade the land in the spring of the year. And as a man was being buried, lo, a marauding band was seen and the man was cast into the grave of Elisha; and as soon as the man touched the bones of Elisha, he revived, and stood on his feet” (2 Kgs. 13:20-21). This is an unequivocal biblical example of a miracle being performed by God through contact with the relics of a saint!
Also, please tell me what the Pope says that is contrary to the Word of God.
The home page clearly outlines proclamations from the Popes of Rome, which are contrary to the Word of God. Mary is not our Intercessor, she is not the Co-Redeemer, she does not provide salvation. She is simply the esteemed Mother of our Messiah, that is all. She sinned just like everyone else, except Messiah.

David, You quote your website as if it were the Bible. Whoever put it together makes their own interpretation of the Bible and the teachings of the Catholic church. That being said, why would God have a sinful woman carry his only begotten son? Makes no sense at all. Not to mention, where do find proof that Mary was sinful as you say? Don’t tell me, you’re gonna send another link to your website, right?
The website features direct quotes from Popes and from the Scriptures, which are contrary to each other. Messiah came to redeem sinful people, including His mother. The Bible says, “For ALL men have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.” Romans 3:23. ALL includes Mary.
Show me a verse that says that she was sinless.
Paul’s letter to the Roman’s does indeed say that, however it is your interpretation that Paul was including the mother of God incarnate. Why someone else may say that all women are sinless. Using your your interpretation “all men” could just mean men. Right??
I apologize, the verse should read “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;”
The word ‘men’ was added.
All includes Mary.
Hello David,
Hey thank you for your labor. I just “found” these pages and am eating them up. I have known that RCC is the antiChrist, but not much of the historical fulfillment.
I am looking for proofs/evidences/etc. about the Jesuits controlling the Seminaries and Bible Colleges – do you know of any sources that deal with this directly? I know they DO, but would like some evidence to that effect.
Thank you again and God bless you,
Rory
Hello Rory, I’m blessed to know that the studies are helping you. Here is a study that shows the path of the Jesuits futurism deceptions from Jesuits theologians, directly into Dallas Theological Seminary. The leaven of the Jesuits has spread around the world from DTS graduates such as Hal Lindsey, Chuck Swindoll, David Jeremiah, etc. http://christianitybeliefs.org/end-times-deceptions/jesuit-end-times-antichrist-deception/
One would have to look at who runs the seminaries and Bible colleges, to see if they are Jesuits or Jesuit trained. But many times the Jesuits don’t identify themselves, and pretend to be Jewish, Christian, SDA, etc., so it’s tough to tell.
They are masters are controlling this covertly. They no doubt control the National Council of Churches in America and the World Council of Churches.
I hopes that helps get you started. Let me know if you find any information.
Blessings to you,
David
Hi, David,
I am wondering if there is not going to be a 7 year peace plan nor the desolation of abomination, etc, what are the end time events that are that specific that we can look for. I know wars and rumors of war, the seasons running together, the people will be lovers of self etc, good will be called evil and evil good… But what can we look for. Don’t get me wrong. I know the deception in the church, the false signs and wonders, the deceived following the Pope and those kinds of things. But is there an event like the two I just cited that we can look for that will show us just how close it is till the Lord’s return. Perhaps we were just being childish to cling to those things as true rather than just trusting God that it won’t be long now that things are as bad as they are. I guess an easier way to say it is, what else has to happen before the Lord’s return? I believe the anti-christ will be revealed but what else that will point directly to how close we are ? Pretty elementary for you probably but….. thanks, Karen
Hi Karen, the Antichrist has already been revealed, it’s the office of the papacy, the Popes of Rome; so we’re not really waiting for that to happen. Here is a study that explains where we are on the Revelation fulfillment timeline, and what will happen next as we await Messiah’s return.
http://christianitybeliefs.org/revelation-timeline-decoded/future-revelation-fulfillment/
David, I am learning and needed to be reminded that since the office of the Popes has been revealed to be the anti-Christ that the idea that someone would enter a temple would not happen. But I did also want to see a timeline, so thanks so much. I get sidetracked. I am 68 and have custody of a 7 year old whose Mom walked out on her when she was 2 1/2. (We met her Mom thru a ministry.) I need to get back to this cause it is so misunderstood by most and I want to be able to articulate these truths. I was raised Catholic and pretty appalled at the present actions of this Pope and the Charismatics and Pentecostals, both of whom I was later involved with for 15 years or more, before the Lord delivered me out of that. I just thank Him for opening my eyes to the deception. And now I want to learn the “whole” truth! God Bless!
Hey Karen 🙂 There is certainly a lot to learn! Most of what my Baptist and Calvary Chapel pastors taught me is wrong. One of the best studies is the Bible Prophecy Made Easy study which provides a summary of the explanations of prophecy, so that you can see what has been fulfilled, to know what is a deception. http://christianitybeliefs.org/revelation-timeline-decoded/bible-prophecy-made-easy/
Dearest David,
l have been SO blessed by your website and the truths that the Holy Spirit has endowed you with, which has allowed me to now enter into a deeper level of intimacy with our heavenly Father, Yahuwah!
l will NEVER EVER be the same again!!! THIS IS HUGE REVELATION! GLORY TO YAHUWAH!!!
Initially it had started with the Holy Spirit leading me to cast my eyes on the wonderful WORLDSLASTCHANCE website! I learned quickly of the True Lunar Sabbath day which goes by the lunar- solar calendar from creation and not the counterfeit seventh day Sabbath that some of the Body Of Christ sadly are adhering to ( for now anyway as there IS HOPE) As i embraced this truth in obedience to HIM, as you would suspect more light of truth came…YOU!
Not only have l been convicted of the false doctrines and have had to be repent of it ( sins of ignorance) but l have a deep passion to furiously share your end time delusions study with any one who has an ear to hear!! Which is why i am writing.
l hope you sincerely do not mind but in my passion for Yahuwah my heart was and is compelled with such excitement for what you are doing that i have urgently emailed not only my brethren in my sphere to inform them of this progressive revelation, but l have also contacted the most popular Christian radio station in existence called TRUNEWS and have asked them kindly to consider getting you on their radio station to interview you about all of this.
Look l know it is not a popular message, but hey neither was Yahushua’s truth! We know that truth divides. The truth is never popular and l believe only HIS true remnant will submit to all of HIM. Spiritual discernment is what we must pray for now for our brethren.
So David, l sincerely pray that you do not mind me sharing your study. I have no claim to any thing, the way i see it is that i am nameless faceless and blameless before HIM and all my heart desires is that the people will KNOW THE TRUTH BEFORE I LEAVE THIS EARTH.
It is THAT CRUCIAL, given where we are prophetically, that the body of Christ in its entirety, hear this and become aware of who their enemy IS! Most are oblivious! The church by an large is asleep and have a fear of MAN instead of YAHUWAH! The fear of Yahuwah is the beginning of wisdom and understanding.
So David l am awaiting their reply. The app is TRUNEWS and you can download it from any mobile device. Their website is http://www.Trunews.com.
It IS the only end times radio station l know, which is now going digital ,that is counting down to the return of Yahushua! It is the world’s leading news source that reports, analyzes, and comments on global events and trends with a conservative, orthodox Christian worldview. Our vision is to build a global news network that provides a credible source for world news, events, and trends while giving respect and honor to Christians of all major denominations – Evangelical, Orthodox, Anglican, Catholic, and Protestant.
We believe Christians need and deserve their own global news network to keep the worldwide Church informed, and to offer Christians a positive alternative to the anti-Christian bigotry of the mainstream news media.

My brethren and l are praying you will have the opportunity to go on air and reach thousands of people with the revelation timeline and end time delusions! I pray so and hope you will not mind. As my brothrt in Yahushua, It is worth everything we have to shed light on the lost and l am speaking of the actual Body of Christ who are so deceived and immersed in the counterfeit plans of Satan.
Let me know what you think. The Holy Spirit has led me here to this point and l truly want to help any way l can, to bring Yahuwah’s kindgom to earth!
Lastly,one other thing David, that has disturbed me is that on WorldLastChance which is equally as anointed a website as your studies; they have stated that the 7 trumpets are ‘to be fulfilled in the future??’ Was a little disappointed and confused since all your other doctrine such as the lunar sabbath, the Roman, papacy antichrist, the 70 week prophecy and so forth are in unity. Have a look at it here:
https://www.worldslastchance.com/end-time-prophecy/the-7-trumpets-of-revelation.html
It appears that it is in stark contrast to your explanations.
I admire Fred Myers, a wonderfully anointed man of Ya! So want some clarity if that is possible once you have a chance to look. l know your flat out!
l apologize for the long email. Thank you with all my heart for what you are doing this day for our precious Yahushua. WHAT a BLESSING you are! l want to help and do all l can to support and spread the word. Have already photocopied half your website!!
Love and blessings
Your sister in Christ,
Leanne.
Will be praying!
Hello Leanne 🙂 I’m blessed to know that the studies have helped you! All glory goes to Yahuah!
I appreciate your passion for sharing the truth with others.
Hopefully TruNews will see the truth as well, and we can partner together to help many others see it.
We’ll see how they respond.
As much as I have learned from WorldsLastChance about the lunisolar Sabbath, their explanations of prophecy are lacking.
As you pointed out, they assign the fulfillment of the trumpets to the future. They now teach that the supposed grand deception of the flat earth will be played out with an alien invasion which will fulfill the 5th trumpet.
But the 5th Trumpet describes the rise of the Mohammedan army against the Roman Empire. http://christianitybeliefs.org/revelation-timeline-decoded/the-fifth-trumpet-of-revelation-9/
Each page on my website has a green Print/PDF button which allows you to save a PDF of the study, or print in an easy to read format.
Keep learning and growing in the faith! Contact me anytime with questions or insight. Yah bless you!
David
