										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><em>Connecting the dots proves the existence of both </em><a href="amazon.com/Eaters-Children-Pedocracy-Giovanni-Cirucci-ebook/dp/B075MCVQXD/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><em>the Devil’s Simulation</em></a><em> and the Biblical “Whore of Babylon”.</em></strong></p>
<p>The history of “religion”, more specifically, Christianity, is powerful, surprising and even shocking.</p>
<p>“Shocking” because so much of it has been erased by a hidden hand.</p>
<p>Biblical Christianity teaches that Judaism was given by God to prove the fallen state of mankind and its need for a Savior.  As a religion, it is impossible to follow perfectly and, therefore, showed that no one can be right before God, or earn their way into Heaven.</p>
<blockquote><p>Romans 3:10-12<br />
<strong><sup>10 </sup></strong>as it is written:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">“None is righteous, no, not one;<br />
<strong><sup>11</sup></strong>  no one understands;<br />
no one seeks for God.<br />
<strong><sup>12 </sup></strong>All have turned aside; together they have become worthless;<br />
no one does good,<br />
not even one.”</p>
<p>English Standard Version (ESV)</p></blockquote>
<p>The Bible teaches that the perfect Son of God became imperfection so that, through Him, those that loved Him could attain the perfection necessary to stand in the Presence of God.</p>
<blockquote><p>II Corinthians 5:21<br />
He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the Righteousness<span id='easy-footnote-1-6371' class='easy-footnote-margin-adjust'></span><span class='easy-footnote'><a href='https://johnnycirucci.com/benny-hinn-paula-white-donald-trump-and-rome/#easy-footnote-bottom-1-6371' title='Capitalization added to show the unique singularity of Divine Attributes and correct disrespect.  It is glaringly inconsistent to capitalize the Names of God yet leave His Attributes and even some Divine pronouns lower case.  This is sadly common in all Bible translations, some more than others.  In fact, it can lead to catastrophic errors in eschatology as the failure to capitalize pronouns does in Daniel 9, even in the King James Version.'><sup>1</sup></a></span> of God in Him.</p>
<p>New American Standard Bible (NASB)</p></blockquote>
<p>Jewish leadership betrayed their nation and colluded with their Roman tyrants to put one of their own to death.</p>

<p>As the military empire of Rome declined, a religious empire took its place.</p>
<p>In 313 A.D., Emperor Constantine (along with his temporary rival, Licinius) signed the Edict of Milan ending the persecution of Christians.</p>
<p>In 380 A.D., Emperor Theodosius I made Christianity the state religion of the Roman Empire with his Edict of Thessalonica.  This caused a great many pagans to intermingle their practices with Christianity such as prayer to the dead, holy pilgrimages, and reliance upon “religious experts” (clergy).</p>
<p>Justinian I reigned as Byzantine Emperor from 527 to 565 A.D.  In 534 A.D., he instituted what has become known as “Justinian’s Decree” or “Justinian’s Code” which firmly cemented the Bishop of Rome as, “Pope”, “Bishop of Bishops” and “Corrector of Heresies”.</p>
<p>In 538 A.D., Justinian broke the siege of the Goths around Rome, deposed their Pope—Silverius—and emplaced his own—Vigilius—via military escort, as Pontifex Maximus.</p>
<p>As the power of the Roman religion grew under the guise of “Christianity”, Christians who still had access to the Scriptures decried it as heretical with the reinstitution of a priesthood (now required to be celibate), prayer to angels, the supplanting of Messiah Jesus with His mother and “indulgences” (release from certain sins by payment).</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><em><strong>The Sword Arm of the Whore of Babylon: <a href="http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2012/03/02/day-us-military-burned-bible-in-afghanistan.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">U.S. Military Burns Bibles In Afghanistan</a></strong></em></p>
<p>Christians like the Albigensians, the Waldensians and the Vaudois were, in turn, horribly persecuted by Rome.  The target of Rome’s original Crusades, they were chased into the Alps and, when caught, brutally tortured and murdered; men, women and children.  Any Bibles found were immediately burned.</p>
<p>The Papacy outlawed the Word of God, only allowing it to be kept by clergy in Latin.  Christianity remained in darkened ignorance of its own Scriptures for a thousand years until the Protest of Augustinian monk, Martin Luther in 1517 A.D.</p>
<p>Prior to this, when Christians were found with Bibles, they were eradicated in flames.  Such was the end of men like Jan Hus, Jerome of Prague and many of John Wycliffe’s dedicated Lollards.</p>

<p>It was caused by Pope Leo X (Giovanni de Medici) exploiting the ignorance of the people and bilking them out of wealth they didn’t have, under the guise of saving their souls!  He sent his most dedicated servants (at that time), the Dominicans, to frighten the masses with hellfire, then tell them they could pay their way out of it for themselves and even their dead loved ones via an “indulgence” that went to fund the Medici Pope’s lascivious and licentious parties.  While peasant parents, devastated by sickness and disease that claimed the life of their little boy gave Dominicans their last ducats thinking Leo would accept them as Vicar of Christ and release their boy from Purgatory, he was actually releasing <a href="amazon.com/Secret-History-erased-behind-curtain/dp/1515149951" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">naked little boys from the deserts</a> of his parties to be enjoyed by his guests.</p>
<p>In response to this, an outraged Father Martin Luther posted a referendum on such “indulgences” with 95 pointed paragraphs.</p>
<p>When he submitted his 95 Theses, which he had nailed to the doors of All Saints Cathedral in Wittenberg on All Saints Day (November 1<sup>st</sup>, 1517), to his leadership in Rome, copies had arrived well before his original!</p>
<p>Luther’s benefactor, Frederick the Wise, Elector of Saxony, knew his favorite monk was in danger of mercenaries paid by the Vatican to murder him.  Frederick shut Luther up in Wartburg Castle for his own protection, and Luther was forced to pass the time using the manuscripts of his friend Desiderius Erasmus to translate the Bible into colloquial German in order to give the Word of God back to the people.</p>
<p>But much to the consternation of the Inquisition (at the time led by the Dominicans, but turned over to the Jesuits a few years hence), these Bibles could not be burned faster than the Gutenberg press was able to print them.</p>
<p>To make matters worse, Luther’s example was being followed by other upstart priests such as William Tyndale, who wrote his translation in his native English.  Although Tyndale was betrayed and executed by Henry VIII for his “crimes” against a Church Henry eventually broke from, Tyndale’s dying exclamation, “Lord, open the King of England’s eyes!” would be shown by how Henry later ordered the Tyndale Bible to be chained to the altars of every church in England.</p>
<p>Now, to the Papacy, the Bible was more dangerous than ever.</p>
<p>A new tactic was arrived at and coined by Henry’s Lord Chancellor, Archbishop of York and Primate of England, Thomas Wolsey, as “learning against learning”.  This new approach sought to discredit the Bible and all who revered it.</p>
<p>It was an agenda to re-write our very reality and it has had nothing less than fiendish success.</p>
<p>“Science” mocks Christianity and the Bible by indoctrinating students everywhere with that which doesn’t even qualify as “science”.</p>
<p>An entire spectrum from Darwinian evolution to astronomy overtly defies the Scientific Method—</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">* make an observation<br />
* compose an hypothesis about the observation<br />
* isolate the variables and conduct an experiment in a sterile environment to replicate the observation<br />
* have a trusted peer replicate the experiment to prove or disprove</p>
<p>Humanity has turned over both its past and its cosmology—its very reality—to “experts” who refuse to adhere to their own disciplines.  As a result we are all oblivious slaves with the key to our freedom sitting right in front of us, yet no one reaches for it.  It is an invisible key which only reappears through the power of skepticism: refusal to trust anyone in “authority”.</p>
<p>Within 15 years of Martin Luther’s revolution to reform Christianity, a “Counter-Reformation” was born to undo and discredit the effort.</p>
<p>It was spear-headed by a Spanish Basque nobleman and Templar<span id='easy-footnote-2-6371' class='easy-footnote-margin-adjust'></span><span class='easy-footnote'><a href='https://johnnycirucci.com/benny-hinn-paula-white-donald-trump-and-rome/#easy-footnote-bottom-2-6371' title='Although the Templars were suppressed on Friday the 13&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; in 1307 by Philippe le Bel of France, they were able to go underground in Switzerland to endure as everything from the Pope’s Swiss Guard to the financial stewards of the world’s Elite.'><sup>2</sup></a></span> mystic called Íñigo López de Loyola who would later become known as Ignatius Loyola.</p>
<p>Loyola’s fanaticism shocked even the most dedicated Catholics and he was twice imprisoned by the Inquisition but Alessandro Farnese (Pope Paul III) shrewdly saw Loyola’s usefulness.  By 1540, Loyola (along with fellow Spaniard Francisco de Jasso y Azpilicueta—later “Francis Xavier”—and Frenchman Pierre Lefevre—“Peter Faber”) had organized the Knights of the Virgin Mary which Farnese cunningly ordained as the “Society of Jesus”.</p>
<p>They were and are unrivaled in their dedication to the Papacy and, in fact, have put many a Pope to death for failing to maintain their ruthless standards.  Manipulation, murder, extortion, sexual deviancy, toppling governments, instigating or betraying revolutions, exploitation of the confessional—the ends justify the means for Pope Paul’s shock troops.  They were soon given the sarcastic nickname “Jesuits” for <em>jesuita</em> or “Are you Jesus-like?”</p>
<p>Disguise and infiltration are their specialty, as is shown by the re-branding of Guy “Guido” Fawkes as the embodiment of rebellion against tyranny, illustrates.  A Jesuit plot to blow up the House of Lords on the 5<sup>th</sup> of November, 1605, in order to murder Protestant King James I, his queen and his son, was betrayed (some suggest by the Jesuits, themselves, in a Machiavellian move for sympathy).  Under the instruction of Jesuit Provincial Henry Garnett, Fawkes was found guarding the entrance to the basement where the gunpowder had been stockpiled.</p>
<p>The use of Fawkes’ visage as the representation of resistance also shows just how much the Jesuits manipulate the very fabric of our existence.</p>

<p>Jesuit-trained Roman Catholics hold the key positions of power all over the world from the U.K. to the E.U. to the U.S.  The list is so expansive and extensive it staggers the mind and makes examples hard to sift through.  Here are just a very few—</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">* Donald John Trump, current U.S. President, trained by the Jesuits at Fordham before he transferred to the <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/RomeRules/comments/3g7zgf/donald_trump_secret_jesuit_agent_for/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">clandestine “public” Jesuit college</a>, the University of Pennsylvania.<br />
* Trump’s predecessor, President Barack Obama, was trained in Chicago to be a “community organizer” by <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2014/03/23/us/the-catholic-roots-of-obamas-activism.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Jesuit Father Greg Galluzzo</a>.<br />
* Emmanuel Macron, President of France, <a href="https://cruxnow.com/global-church/2017/05/12/frances-new-president-zombie-catholic/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">is Catholic</a>; he ran against “far Right xenophobe” Marine le Pen who was taught by her father Jean-Marie le Pen to blame all of Roman Catholic France’s woes on the Jews.  Jean-Marie learned this while at Saint Francis Xavier <a href="https://www.britannica.com/biography/Jean-Marie-Le-Pen" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">boarding school in Vannes</a>.<br />
* Macron was sexualized by his 6<sup>th</sup> grade teacher while attending La Providence Jesuit high school in Amiens.  He would <a href="https://www.reuters.com/article/us-france-election-macron-book/frances-macron-defied-parental-veto-on-schoolboy-love-affair-with-teacher-idUSKBN17E21X" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">go on to marry her</a>.<br />
* Speaking of deviant sex and corrupt control, the current Prime Minister of Canada, Justin Trudeau, is the far-Left Catholic son of a previous far-Left Jesuit-trained Catholic Prime Minister, Pierre Trudeau.  There’s <a href="https://johnnycirucci.com/catholic-communist-cabals-command-from-canada-to-cuba/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">an excellent chance</a> that he’s actually the biological son of thrice-Jesuit-trained Communist Catholic, Fidel Castro.<br />
* José Manuel Barroso; 11<sup>th</sup> President of the European Commission, was trained by the Jesuits at Georgetown as was former President Bill Clinton.<br />
* Former President of the European <em>Council </em>(plans European policy), staunch Dutch Leftist Roman Catholic Herman Van Rompuy, was raised from his youth at Jesuit <em>Sint-Jan Berchmanscollege </em>(Grammar School) in Brussels.<br />
* In fact, the entire European Unification movement is an overt attempt to reinstitute the medieval “Holy Roman Empire” and was founded by Jesuit Seminarian (as was the secret Bilderberg power meetings) Jozef Retinger.<br />
* America wields her terrible military might through Jesuit-trained Roman agents from Secretaries of State like Alexander Haig through Leftist Roman Catholics like Leon Panetta who held both Secretary of Defense and Director of the CIA.<br />
* The Pentagon is a mirror image of the Farnese family castle in Caprarola, Italy and its foundation was laid on September 11<sup>th</sup>, 1941—just a few months prior to the “<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7p1TOA99S88" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">surprise attack</a>” of Pearl Harbor.</p>

* Trump has installed even more Jesuit-trained Roman Catholics than his Jesuit-trained predecessor (no mean feat); from his Chief of Staff and former Secretary of “Homeland Security”, Marine Corps General John Francis Kelly (Georgetown) to the current Secretary of “Defense”, Roman Catholic Marine Corps General James Mattis.  Mattis is known as the “<a href="http://www.ncregister.com/daily-news/trumps-catholic-warriors" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">warrior monk</a>” because he’s gone his entire life without getting married.  Normally, this is just a personal oddity but, given the <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Eaters-Children-Pedocracy-ritualistic-slaughter/dp/1548350478/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">role of sexual deviancy</a> in the halls of power, quite disconcerting.<br />
* The Central Intelligence Agency was founded by a Roman Catholic Knight of Malta, William Donovan, and often run overtly by Catholics from Walter Bedell Smith to William Casey to William Colby to the “Drone Executioner”, John O. Brennan.<br />
* The same is true of the Federal Bureau of Investigation; founded by devout Roman Catholic Charles Joseph Bonaparte (great grand-nephew of Napoleon Bonaparte) and its many Catholic Directors from Opus Dei member Louis Freeh to James Comey, infamous for giving both <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2016/07/06/us/politics/hillary-clinton-fbi-email-comey.html?_r=0" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Hillary Clinton</a> and suspected pedophile <a href="http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2017/01/10/comey-fbi-denied-repeated-requests-to-access-dnc-servers-podesta-s-device.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">John Podesta</a> a clean bill of health.<br />
* The Pentagon is dominated by Roman Catholics (many of them Jesuit-trained) from former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Army General Martin Dempsey to the current Chairman, chosen by “Democrat” Barack Obama and maintained by “Republican” Donald Trump, Marine Corps General Joseph Dunford (Georgetown).<br />
* Even the Texas (Connecticut) Bush ruling dynasty has its Jesuits in the woodpile, despite claiming to be Protestants—from Knight of Columbus and former Governor of Florida, John Ellis “JEB” Bush to maternal patriarch George Herbert Walker (namesake for both Bush Presidents), who lived with the Jesuits at Stonyhurst in England.<br />
* Whether Democrat or Republican, the Jesuits rule behind the scenes and few choke-holds evidence this better than Speaker of the House of Representatives.  Far-Left Jesuit-mentored Catholic Nancy Pelosi resided over the ram-rodding of socialized medicine <a href="https://johnnycirucci.com/the-long-coup-detat-to-finally-be-celebrated/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">and her successor</a>, Jesuit-trained (Xavier) “<a href="https://johnnycirucci.com/why-do-conservatives-keep-fighting-the-wrong-enemies/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Conservative</a>” John Boehner did nothing to jeopardize it.  His Roman Catholic successor, former altar boy Paul Ryan has <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2017/03/24/politics/house-health-care-vote/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">also stayed the course</a>.<br />
* When plausible deniability is needed by Rome, her agents wait until they step down from office to “convert” to Catholicism; from former British <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2009/aug/28/blair-conversion-catholicism" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Prime Minister Tony Blair</a> to former <a href="http://www.ncregister.com/daily-news/newt-gingrich-why-i-became-catholic" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">House Speaker Newt Gingrich</a>.<br />
* Although Newt’s “conversion” may be presented as a “surprise” the Catholicism of his third wife, Callista, isn’t.  She’s such a stalwart Catholic she was <a href="https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/10/16/558228064/callista-gingrich-confirmed-as-ambassador-to-the-vatican" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">made Ambassador</a> to the sovereign city-state of the Vatican.</p>
<p>In 2012, “converted” Catholic Newt Gingrich was filmed receiving the very rare honor of a Papal Mass.</p>

<p>The man sitting right next to him (conveniently edited so that only his back was shown in the above video) was none other than “Evangelical” Televangelist Benny Hinn.</p>

<p><iframe loading="lazy" title="Benny Hinn: A Massive Fraud &amp; A Crook" width="1080" height="810" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/BLB0UTO7-Xc?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>

<p>Only after they have done great harm to Christians do these Roman insurgents make headlines, such as frequent guest of conspiracy host Alex Jones, “Baptist” preacher Steven Anderson.</p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" title="Pastor defends his anti-homosexual sermon" width="1080" height="608" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/UbSM_kxpObc?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p>Given Anderson’s pull to put Christians to shame, it’s not a huge leap to call him an incognito Jesuit priest (and likely homosexual).</p>
<p>Equally, Benny Hinn and Rome go way back, as well.</p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" title="Benny Hinn - CNN interview | Funeral Pope John Paul II" width="1080" height="810" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/NgMA0ZDGxn8?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>

<p>Hinn has turned in his signature white suit for a high-collar black jacket, with a window for his white shirt underneath at the center.  He is also a very vociferous supporter of Jesuit-trained President Donald Trump.</p>

<p>Trump’s “Spiritual Advisor” is another Prosperity Gospel Preacher and <a href="http://www.newsweek.com/president-donald-trump-paula-white-prosperity-gospel-655064" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Televangelist, Paula White</a> (who <a href="https://paulawhite.org/home.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">lists her name</a> as “Paula White-Cain”).</p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" title="Paula White, Her New Book is Not About Salvation via Christ" width="1080" height="810" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/_Kh1gJAc13U?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p>White was chosen to give Trump’s inaugural prayer, over which the <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/acts-of-faith/wp/2016/12/29/paula-white-prosperity-preacher-once-investigated-by-senate-is-a-controversial-pick-for-inauguration-prayer/?utm_term=.a466e8454286" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Washington Post lamented</a>—</p>
<blockquote><p><em>White is known for embracing the prosperity gospel — the theology that God will bless true believers not just with eternal salvation but with material wealth here on Earth.  To many believers, the prosperity gospel offers hope and promise.  But to other Christians, it’s heretical; and to some, prosperity gospel preachers’ motives are suspect, especially when they seem to be enriching themselves by asking for money from their followers.</em></p>
<p><em>Sen. Charles E. Grassley (R-Iowa) </em><a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/11/06/AR2007110602079.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><em>launched an investigation</em></a><em> in 2007 into spending by White and several other televangelists, but </em><a href="https://www.onfaith.co/onfaith/2011/01/09/what-is-church-who-is-minister-should-tax-man-decide/660" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><em>ended it three years later</em></a><em> without reaching any conclusions.</em></p></blockquote>
<p>Given how both Congress and these Televangelist charlatans answer to the same authority, we shouldn’t be surprised that Senator Grassley’s “investigation” ended “without reaching any conclusions”.</p>
<p>As I’ve chronicled for you <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Eaters-Children-Pedocracy-ritualistic-slaughter/dp/1548350478/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">in my latest book</a>, the surest sign of corruption is when police, prosecutors and judges all refuse to do their jobs and politicians then provide smokescreens with “Commissions” and “Committees”.  If even Sherlock Holmes, himself, (the creation of Roman Catholic Freemason Sir Arthur Ignatius Conan Doyle) were to conduct a “Congressional Investigation” the end result would still be the same: nothing.  Legislatures write legislation.  They are bodies that have nothing to do with law <em>enforcement</em>.</p>
<p><a href="amazon.com/Secret-History-erased-behind-curtain/dp/1515149951" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">From the very beginning</a>, the seat of American power was owned by Catholics and named after Catholics.  The “Capitol” (named after <em>Capitoline</em>, one of the infamous <a href="http://biblehub.com/revelation/17-9.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">seven hills of Rome</a>) isn’t called “White House” for its color but in honor of Father Andrew White of the Society of Jesus.  Before it was “Washington, D.C.” it was known as “Little Rome on the Potomac” given that it’s gnostic architecture came from Catholic Freemason Pierre Charles L´Enfante.</p>

<p>Unfortunately, neither Charles Grassley nor the Washington Post were available so the reporting fell to the National Enquirer where it was sure to get it’s due respect.</p>
<p><a href="https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/hinn-white-enquirer.jpg" rel="prettyPhoto[gallery-xTCX]"><img loading="lazy" class="aligncenter wp-image-6375" src="https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/hinn-white-enquirer.jpg" alt="" width="791" height="503" srcset="https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/hinn-white-enquirer.jpg 640w, https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/hinn-white-enquirer-150x95.jpg 150w, https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/hinn-white-enquirer-300x191.jpg 300w, https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/hinn-white-enquirer-24x15.jpg 24w, https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/hinn-white-enquirer-36x23.jpg 36w, https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/hinn-white-enquirer-48x31.jpg 48w, https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/hinn-white-enquirer-400x254.jpg 400w" sizes="(max-width: 791px) 100vw, 791px" /></a>No major news outlet thought the story was worth carrying but California’s Orange County Weekly did.</p>
<p>Perhaps, the reason media founded and run by Papal Knights like Henry Luce, William Randolph Hearst, John Paul Getty and Rupert Murdoch wasn’t interested in the explosive story was because of the even bigger story beneath it—</p>
<blockquote><p>They found themselves in Italy because both were meeting independently with Vatican officials, according to White, who reportedly added, “We were never alone and were in the constant company of staff and other associates.” ~ <a href="https://www.ocweekly.com/updated-benny-hinn-and-paula-white-deny-affair-6475066/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">OC Weekly</a></p></blockquote>
<p>In an effort to cover up the very “un-Christian” adultery, two of Christianity’s most embarrassing and harmful “Protestants” admitted they go to Rome to receive instruction from the Jesuit Pope!</p>
<p>When invited to sit with another embarrassment to Christianity, Jim Bakker<span id='easy-footnote-4-6371' class='easy-footnote-margin-adjust'></span><span class='easy-footnote'><a href='https://johnnycirucci.com/benny-hinn-paula-white-donald-trump-and-rome/#easy-footnote-bottom-4-6371' title='For videos questioning mass shootings, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/c/JohnnyCirucci&quot;&gt;my YouTube channel&lt;/a&gt;, all its many videos and thousands of subscribers has been deleted but there is no lack of polished videos and channels mocking the foolishness of people like Bakker.'><sup>4</sup></a></span> Paula White said that <a href="https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-god-spiritual-adviser-paula-white-opposition-working-against-a7909401.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">opposition to Donald Trump was opposition to God</a>.</p>

<p>This is quite a statement from a Christian woman preacher given that <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Eaters-Children-Pedocracy-ritualistic-slaughter/dp/1548350478/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Donald Trump is a pedophile</a> who enables other pedophiles and has likely gone as far as to have sexually abused his daughter Ivanka (who is now a <a href="http://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/ivanka-trumps-influence-reaches-unprecedented-heights" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">foundational part of American government</a>).</p>
<p>Does Paula White believe in what she does?  Is she oblivious to the great harm she is being used to commit?</p>
<p>It’s certainly possible.  She, herself, is <a href="http://www.newsweek.com/president-donald-trump-paula-white-prosperity-gospel-655064" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">a victim of child sex abuse</a>, apparently by her father, who committed suicide.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><em>Who Is “The Restrainer”?</em></strong></p>
<blockquote><p>II Thessalonians 2:5-12 (New King James Version)<br />
<strong><sup>5 </sup></strong>Do you not remember that when I was still with you I told you these things?<br />
<strong><sup>6 </sup></strong>And now you know what is restraining, that he may be revealed in his own time.<br />
<strong><sup>7 </sup></strong>For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He who now restrains <em>will do so</em> until He is taken out of the way.<br />
<strong><sup>8 </sup></strong>And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming.<br />
<strong><sup>9 </sup></strong>The coming of the <em>lawless one</em> is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders,<br />
<strong><sup>10 </sup></strong>and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved.<br />
<strong><sup>11 </sup></strong>And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie,<br />
<strong><sup>12 </sup></strong>that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.</p></blockquote>
<p>If you read the NKJV, the translators capitalize the pronouns in verse seven clearly leading all to believe “the restrainer” is the Lord.</p>
<p>But is that accurate?</p>
<p>The King James version was based upon the highly-reliable <em>Textus Receptus</em> manuscripts.  The New King James, however, was not a modern English update of the KJV.  Critical changes to <a href="https://www.chick.com/ask/articles/nkjvtext.asp">Scripture were made</a>.  Although the 1982 preface to the New King James states the intent is only to take the Elizabethan language<sup>1</sup> and make it understandable in modern English, the translators failed to mention that changes would be made according to the Septuagint and even <a href="http://www.tbsbibles.org/pdf_information/130-1.pdf">Jerome’s Latin Vulgate</a>!</p>
<p>Other translations are noticeably different.</p>
<blockquote><p>II Thessalonians 2:5-12 (New American Standard Bible)<br />
<strong><sup>5 </sup></strong>Do you not remember that while I was still with you, I was telling you these things?<br />
<strong><sup>6 </sup></strong>And you know what restrains him now, so that in his time he will be revealed.<br />
<strong><sup>7 </sup></strong>For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only he who now restrains <em>will do so</em> until he is taken out of the way.<br />
<strong><sup>8 </sup></strong>Then that lawless one will be revealed whom the Lord will slay with the breath of His mouth and bring to an end by the appearance of His coming;<br />
<strong><sup>9 </sup></strong><em>that is</em>, the one whose coming is in accord with the activity of Satan, with all power and signs and false wonders,<br />
<strong><sup>10 </sup></strong>and with all the deception of wickedness for those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth so as to be saved.<br />
<strong><sup>11 </sup></strong>For this reason God will send upon them a deluding influence so that they will believe what is false,<br />
<strong><sup>12 </sup></strong>in order that they all may be judged who did not believe the truth, but took pleasure in wickedness.</p></blockquote>
<p>So who is “the Restrainer”?  Does this help us understand who anti-Christ will be?  What is the “strong delusion”?</p>
<p>Often, it is assumptions that lead to biased and incorrect exegesis of Scripture.  Such is frequently an error of the Western mindset.  A Buddhist saw tells us—</p>
<blockquote><p><em>If you wish to know the truth, hold no opinions.</em><sup>2</sup></p></blockquote>
<p><strong><em>Daniel’s 70 Weeks</em></strong></p>
<p>A similar confusion of pronouns can be found in an even more important passage; Daniel’s “70 Weeks”—the Prophecy of Daniel 9:24-27.</p>
<p>Sadly, there are <em>no</em> English translations that show this Prophecy in its clarity.</p>
<blockquote><p>Daniel 9:24-27 (New International Version)<br />
<strong><sup>24 </sup></strong>“Seventy ‘sevens’ are decreed for your people and your holy city to finish transgression, to put an end to sin, to atone for wickedness, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal up vision and prophecy and to anoint the Most Holy Place.<br />
<strong><sup>25 </sup></strong>“Know and understand this: From the time the word goes out to restore and rebuild Jerusalem until the Anointed One, the ruler, comes, there will be seven ‘sevens,’ and sixty-two ‘sevens.’  It will be rebuilt with streets and a trench, but in times of trouble.<br />
<strong><sup>26 </sup></strong>After the sixty-two ‘sevens,’ the Anointed One will be put to death and will have nothing.  The people of the ruler who will come will destroy the city and the sanctuary.  The end will come like a flood: War will continue until the end, and desolations have been decreed.<br />
<strong><sup>27 </sup></strong>He will confirm a covenant with many for one ‘seven.’  In the middle of the ‘seven’ he will put an end to sacrifice and offering.  And at the temple he will set up an abomination that causes desolation, until the end that is decreed is poured out on him.”</p></blockquote>
<p>In one of the most important passages of Scripture are mixed two seminal yet diametrically-opposed figures; the Anointed Messiah and the Destroyer—the anti-Messiah (although not equal in power).</p>
<p>The key to interpretation is found in the final verse.  The one who puts an end to the sacrifice and offering must be evil, mustn’t he?  The “covenant” must be a future, 7-year covenant, mustn’t it?</p>
<p>In Scripture, there are only <em>two</em> Covenants—the first is the Covenant between YHWH and His People given by Moses.  It was a Covenant His People could not keep [<a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Acts+15%3A7-11&amp;version=MEV">Acts 15:7-11</a>], one that was only meant to hold them and point them toward a new Covenant [<a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Galatians+3%3A19-24&amp;version=NKJV">Galatians 3:19-24</a>].  This New Covenant was radically different from the old—rather than written on tablets of stone and impossible to keep, this One would be written on the <em>hearts</em> of God’s People and they would keep it out of love for Him! [<a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Jeremiah+31%3A31-34&amp;version=MEV">Jeremiah 31:31-34</a>]
<p>In <em>this</em> light a literal reading of the Prophecy produces a radically different interpretation.</p>
<blockquote><p>Daniel 9:24-27 (Young’s Literal Translation)<br />
<strong><sup>24 </sup></strong>‘Seventy weeks are determined for thy people, and for thy holy city, to shut up the transgression, and to seal up sins, and to cover iniquity, and to bring in righteousness age-during, and to seal up vision and prophet, and to anoint the holy of holies.<br />
<strong><sup>25 </sup></strong>And thou dost know, and dost consider wisely, from the going forth of the word to restore and to build Jerusalem till Messiah the Leader [is] seven weeks, and sixty and two weeks: the broad place hath been built again, and the rampart, even in the distress of the times.<br />
<strong><sup>26 </sup></strong>And after the sixty and two weeks, cut off is Messiah, and the city and the holy place are not his, the Leader who hath come doth destroy the people; and its end [is] with a flood, and till the end [is] war, determined [are] desolations.<br />
<strong><sup>27 </sup></strong>And he hath strengthened a covenant with many — one week, and [in] the midst of the week he causeth sacrifice and present to cease, and by the wing of abominations he is making desolate, even till the consummation, and that which is determined is poured on the desolate one.’</p></blockquote>
<p>There are flip-flopping contrasts floating between verses 26 and 27; first Messiah arrives at the appointed time but is “cut off”.  Then, anti-Messiah comes (from the anti-Messiah people) and will destroy the Sanctuary and make desolate with a “flood” (flooding waters often are a Biblical metaphor for many people).  Contrasting again, <em>Messiah</em> will <em>re-affirm</em> the Old Covenant but only for a single “week” (7 years).  Halfway through, <em>He</em> will cause the sacrifice to become obsolete and impossible to continue both physically and spiritually.</p>
<blockquote><p>John 2:13-22 (Modern English Version)<br />
<strong><sup>13 </sup></strong>The Passover of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.<br />
<strong><sup>14 </sup></strong>In the temple He found those who were selling oxen and sheep and doves, and the moneychangers sitting there.<br />
<strong><sup>15 </sup></strong>When He had made a whip of cords, He drove them all out of the temple, with the sheep and oxen.  He poured out the changers’ money and overturned the tables.<br />
<strong><sup>16 </sup></strong>He said to those who sold doves, <span style="color: #800000;">“Take these things away!  Do not make My Father’s house a house of merchandise!”</span><br />
<strong><sup>17 </sup></strong>His disciples remembered that it was written, “Zeal for Your house will consume Me.”<br />
<strong><sup>18 </sup></strong>Then the Jews said to Him, “What sign do You show us, seeing that You do these things?”<br />
<strong><sup>19 </sup></strong>Jesus answered them, <span style="color: #800000;">“Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.”</span><br />
<strong><sup>20 </sup></strong>Then the Jews said, “It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and will You raise it up in three days?”<br />
<strong><sup>21 </sup></strong>But He was speaking concerning the temple of His body.<br />
<strong><sup>22 </sup></strong>Therefore, when He was raised from the dead, His disciples remembered that He had said this to them.  And they believed the Scripture and the word which Jesus had spoken.</p></blockquote>
<p style="text-align: center;">______________</p>
<blockquote><p>Matthew 23:37-24:2 (Modern English Version)<br />
<strong><sup>37 </sup></strong><span style="color: #800000;">“O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those who are sent to you, how often I would have gathered your children together as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you would not!”</span><br />
<strong><sup>38 </sup></strong><span style="color: #800000;">“Look, your house is left to you desolate.”</span><br />
<strong><sup>39 </sup></strong><span style="color: #800000;">“For I tell you, you shall not see Me again until you say, ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord.’”</span></p>
<p>Chapter 24</p>
<p><strong><sup>1</sup></strong> Jesus departed from the temple and was leaving when His disciples came to show Him the temple buildings.<br />
<strong><sup>2</sup></strong> Jesus answered them, <span style="color: #800000;">“Do you not see all these things?  Truly I say to you, not one stone shall be left here upon another that shall not be thrown down.”</span></p></blockquote>
<p>Most bizarre of all, both Messiah and anti-Messiah work together to fulfill the Prophetic Divine Will!</p>
<p>It was intended for Messiah to re-affirm the Old Covenant with His 7-year ministry (beginning at His Baptism by John).</p>
<p>Halfway through His Ministry, traitorous Jewish leaders intent on killing anyone who threatened their power, seditiously worked with real power in Judea to have the Anointed One murdered without just cause (“not for Himself”).</p>
<p>A short time later, the people of the coming anti-Christ devastated Jerusalem and leveled the Temple down to its last foundation stone—<em>Romans</em>.</p>
<blockquote><p>Gessius Florus loved money and hated Jews.  As Roman procurator, he ruled Judea, caring little for their religious sensibilities.  When tax revenues were low, he seized silver from the temple.  As the uproar against him grew, in A.D. 66, he sent troops into Jerusalem who massacred 3,600 citizens.  Florus’s action touched off an explosive rebellion—the First Jewish Revolt—that had been sizzling for some time.</p>
<p><strong>Launching the Revolt</strong></p>
<p>The Jewish Revolt began—and met its bitter end—at Masada, a hunk of rock overlooking the Dead Sea.  The Romans had built a virtually impregnable fortress there.  Yet the atrocities of Florus inspired some crazy Zealots to attack Masada.  Amazingly, they won, slaughtering the Roman army there.</p>
<p>In Jerusalem, the temple captain signified solidarity with the revolt by stopping the daily sacrifices to Caesar.  Soon all Jerusalem was in an uproar, expelling or killing the Roman troops.  Then all Judea was in revolt; then Galilee.</p>
<p>Cestius Callus, the Roman governor of the region, marched from Syria with twenty thousand soldiers.  He besieged Jerusalem for six months, yet failed.  He left six thousand dead Roman soldiers, not to mention weaponry that the Jewish defenders picked up and used.</p>
<p>Emperor Nero then sent Vespasian, a decorated general, to quell the Judean rebellion.  Vespasian put down the opposition in Galilee, then in Transjordan, then in Idumea.  He circled in on Jerusalem.  But before the <em>coup de grace</em>, Nero died.  Vespasian became embroiled in a leadership struggle that concluded with the eastern armies calling for him to be emperor.  One of his first imperial acts was to appoint his son Titus to conduct the Jewish War.</p>
<p><strong>Crushing the Revolt</strong></p>
<p>By now, Jerusalem was isolated from the rest of the nation, and factions within the city fought over strategies of defense.  As the siege wore on, people began dying from starvation and plague.  The high priest’s wife, who once basked in luxury, scavenged for crumbs in the streets.</p>
<p>Meanwhile the Romans employed new war machines to hurl boulders against the city walls.  Battering rams assaulted the fortifications.  Jewish defenders fought all day and struggled to rebuild the walls at night.  Eventually the Romans broke through the outer wall, then the second wall, and finally the third wall.  Still the Jews fought, scurrying to the temple as their last line of defense.</p>
<p>That was the end for the valiant Jewish defenders and for the temple.  Historian Josephus claimed that Titus wanted to preserve the temple, but his soldiers were so angry at their resilient opponents that they burned it.  The remaining Jews were slaughtered or sold as slaves.</p>
<p>The Zealot band that took Masada held it for at least three more years.  When the Romans finally built their siege ramp and invaded the mountain fortress, they found the defenders dead—they had committed suicide to avoid being captured by foreigners.</p>
<p><strong>Results of the Revolt</strong></p>
<p>The Jewish Revolt marked the end of the Jewish state until modern times.  The destruction of the temple also signified a change in the Jews’ worship&#8230;<sup>3</sup></p></blockquote>
<p><strong><em>Confirmed</em></strong></p>
<p>Understanding the Romans as the people of the anti-Christ is the key to unlocking the proper understanding of these passages.  The Romans would later become “Holy Romans”, mutating just as Daniel predicted into a Beast very different from the three previous Beasts (empires) given to both Daniel and Babylonian King Nebuchadnezzar.</p>
<blockquote><p>Daniel 7:1-8 (Modern English Version)<br />
<strong><sup>1</sup> </strong>In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon, Daniel had a dream and visions of his mind <em>while</em> on his bed.  Then he wrote the dream and told the sum of the matters.<br />
<strong><sup>2 </sup></strong>Daniel spoke and said: I saw in my vision by night the four winds of the heaven striving upon the <em>Mediterranean</em> Sea.<br />
<strong><sup>3 </sup></strong>Four great beasts came up from the sea, diverse from one another.<br />
<strong><sup>4 </sup></strong>The first was like a lion and had eagle’s wings.  I watched until its wings were plucked and it was lifted up from the earth and made to stand on the feet as a man, and a man’s heart was given to it.<br />
<strong><sup>5 </sup></strong>Another beast appeared, a second, like a bear, and it raised itself up on one side, and it had three ribs in its mouth between its teeth.  And they said to it, “Arise, devour much flesh.”<br />
<strong><sup>6 </sup></strong>After this I looked and there was another, like a leopard, which had on its back four wings of a fowl.  The beast also had four heads.  And dominion was given to it.<br />
<strong><sup>7 </sup></strong>After this I saw in the visions at night a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and exceedingly strong.  And it had great iron teeth.  It devoured and broke in pieces, and stamped the rest with its feet.  And it was different from all the beasts that were before it, and it had ten horns.<br />
<strong><sup>8 </sup></strong>I considered the horns, when there came up among them another little horn before whom three of the first horns were plucked up by the roots.  And there, in this horn, were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things.</p></blockquote>
<p>This Fourth and Final Beast was unlike the previous three because she would control in secret.  This way, she would spread tendrils across civilization.</p>
<p>Now, instead of enforcing her will by posting soldiers on every street corner, she would co-opt the soldiers and officials of each nation she conquered and <em>they</em> would do her will in secret!</p>
<p>Daniel’s vision was in perfect harmony with the dream he interpreted for King Nebuchadnezzar in Chapter 2 of a great statue which had a head of gold (Babylon), a torso of silver (Medo/Persia), loins of brass (Greece), legs and feet of iron (Rome).</p>
<p>Notice how the teeth of the Final Beast were the same material as the legs in Nebuchadnezzar’s dream: iron.</p>
<p>But this new “Holy Roman Empire” knew she had been predicted in Scripture and went about wiping off her bloody fingerprints, leaving only faded clues behind.</p>
<p>The 1517 Reformation initiated by Martin Luther gave new light which explained that the entire office of the Papacy was anti-Christ.</p>
<blockquote><p>The theme became very popular in the late Middle Ages among the Fraticelli, Wycliffites, and Hussites, who identified the popes with the Antichrist soon to be overthrown.  Luther was unwittingly in line with these sectaries, with one significant difference, however.</p>
<p>Whereas they identified particular popes, because of their evil lives, with Antichrist, Luther held that every pope was Antichrist even though personally exemplary, because Antichrist is collective: an institution, the papacy, a system which corrupts the truth of Christ.</p>
<p>That was why Luther could repeatedly address Leo X in terms of personal respect only a week or so after blasting him as Antichrist.<sup>4</sup></p></blockquote>
<p>The Jesuit-run Counter-Reformation began immediately upon Luther’s break.  Unable to destroy the movement by the brute force of the Inquisition’s burning pyres and instruments of torture, they embarked upon a new strategy to compromise and discredit Scripture.</p>
<p>Again, the keepers of Truth became an underground minority.</p>
<p>Despite their creation by Freemason William Miller, Seventh Day Adventists remained as the sole keeper of the torch of Luther.</p>
<p>Adventist scholar Uriah Smith confirmed these interpretations for us in the 19<sup>th</sup> century.</p>
<blockquote><p>Commenting on the prophecy that the little horn should “wear out the saints of the Most High,” Barnes, in his Notes on Dan.7:25, says: “Can any one doubt that this is true of the papacy?  The Inquisition, the persecutions of the Waldenses, the ravages of the Duke of Alva, the fires of Smithfield, the tortures of Goa, — indeed, the whole history of the papacy, may be appealed to in proof that this is applicable to that power.  If anything could have worn out the saints of the Most High, — could have cut them off from the earth so that evangelical religion would have become extinct, — it would have been the persecutions of the papal power.  In year 1208 a crusade was proclaimed by Pope Innocent III against the Waldenses and Albigenses, in which a million men perished.  From the beginning of the order of Jesuits in the year 1540 to 1580, nine hundred thousand were destroyed.  One hundred and fifty thousand perished by the Inquisition in thirty years.  In the Low Countries fifty thousand persons were hanged, beheaded, burned, or buried alive, for the crime of heresy, within the space of thirty-eight years from the edict of Charles V against the Protestants to the peace of Chateau Cambresis in 1559.  Eighteen thousand suffered by the hand of the executioner in the space of five years and a half, during the administration of the Duke of Alva.  Indeed, the slightest acquaintance with the history of the papacy will convince any one that what is here said of ‘making war with the saints’ ([Daniel 7] verse 21), and ‘wearing out the saints of the Most High’ (verse 25), is strictly applicable to that power, and will accurately describe its history.”  (See Buck’s Theological Dictionary, art., Persecutions: Oswald’s Kingdom, etc., pp.107-133; Dowling’s History of Romanism; Fox’s Book of Martyrs: Charlotte Elizabeth’s Martyrology; The Wars of the Huguenots; The Great Red Dragon, by Anthony Gavin, formerly one of the Roman Catholic priests of Saragossa, Spain; Histories of the Reformation, etc.) &#8230;</p>
<p>“The prince of the covenant” unquestionably refers to Jesus Christ, “the Messiah the Prince,” who was to “confirm the covenant” one week with his people. Dan. 9:25-27.  The prophet, having taken us down to the death of Tiberius, now mentions incidentally an event to transpire in his reign, so important that it should not be passed over; namely, the cutting off of the Prince of the covenant, or in other words, the death of our Lord Jesus Christ.  According to the prophecy, this took place in the reign of Tiberius.  Luke informs us (3:1-3) that in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, John the Baptist commenced his ministry.  The reign of Tiberius is to be reckoned, according to Prideaux, Dr. Hales, Lardner, and others, from his elevation to the throne to reign jointly with Augustus, his step-father, in August, A.D. 12.  His fifteenth year would therefore be from August, A.D. 26, to August, A.D. 27.  Christ was six months younger than John, and is supposed to have commenced his ministry six months later, both, according to the law of the priesthood, entering upon their work when they were thirty years of age.  If John commenced in the spring, in the latter portion of Tiberius’s fifteenth year, it would bring the commencement of Christ’s ministry in the autumn of A.D. 27; and right here the best authorities place the baptism of Christ, it being the exact point where the 483 years from B.C. 457, which were to extend to the Messiah the Prince, terminated; and Christ went forth proclaiming that the time was fulfilled.  From this point we go forward three years and a half to find the date of the crucifixion; for Christ attended but four Passovers, and was crucified at the last one.  Three and a half years from the autumn of A.D. 27 bring us to the spring of A.D. 31.  The death of Tiberius is placed but six years later, in A.D. 37.<sup>5</sup></p></blockquote>
<p><strong><em>Who Is The Restrainer?</em></strong></p>
<p>Now with the proper understanding we can return to our original question.</p>
<p>It was well understood be even “Church Fathers” like Quintus Septimius Florens Tertullianus, (c. 155 – 240 AD)—better known to us as “Tertullian”.</p>
<blockquote><p>Dealing with the eschatological section of Paul’s first Epistle to the Thessalonians, Tertullian asks: ‘What archangel’s voice, what trump of God, is now heard, except it be forsooth in the entertainments of the heretics?  ‘He also points out that in the second Epistle to the Thessalonians Paul bids them not be troubled by false prophets, who teach that the day of the Lord is at hand.  For that day shall not come, unless there first comes a falling away, and the appearance of Antichrist.  The Antichrist cannot, however, come until he who now hinders shall be taken out of the way.  The ‘one who now hinders’ is the Roman Empire.  ‘What obstacle is there but the Roman state, the falling away of which, by being scattered |<sup>p210</sup> into ten kingdoms, shall introduce Antichrist upon (its own ruins.)’<sup>6</sup></p></blockquote>
<p>The anti-Christ office of the Papacy could not materialize unless the military office of the Roman Empire first disappeared.</p>
<p><strong><em>Learning Against Learning</em></strong></p>
<p>So if the early Church knew Rome was the 4<sup>th</sup> and Final Beast, and Protestants knew the Papacy was the anti-Christ, why isn’t it common knowledge today?</p>
<blockquote><p>With Rome so clearly depicted as the 4th and final Beast of both Daniel and Revelation, Jesuits needed to disconnect Christians from that interpretation and they used Preterism and Futurism to do it.</p>
<p>Preterism is the idea that most of prophecy has already taken place.  It was concocted by a Jesuit.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><em>Preterism was first advanced in 1604 by Jesuit Luis de Alcasar to destroy the Reformed Protestant teaching that the papacy was Mystery Babylon, the Great Whore and the historical Antichrist. &#8230;</em></p>
<p>Preterism wasn’t accepted by large groups of Protestants and an alternative interpretation of the End Times was put forth.</p>
<p>Futurism is more appealing in that it acknowledges that much of prophecy is yet future but it distracts from the 4th Beast and paints the anti-Christ as a man who suddenly appears just before the Tribulation and who stands alone, apart from any organization or system.</p>
<p>It, too, was fabricated by a Jesuit.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><em>Francisco Ribera (1537-1591) of Salamanca, Spain, published a 500 page commentary on the grand points of Babylon and Antichrist, the object being to set aside the Protestant teaching that the Papacy is the Antichrist.  In his commentary, he assigned the first chapters of Revelation to the first century.  The rest he restricted to a literal three and a half years a the end of time.  He taught that the Jewish temple would be rebuilt by a single individual antichrist who would abolish the Christian religion, deny Christ, pretend to be God, and conquer the world.<sup>8</sup> &#8230;</em></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><em>Ribera’s commentary laid the foundation for the greater structure of <strong>Futurism</strong>, which would be built upon and expanded by those who followed.  Ribera’s teaching was further popularized by Robert Bellarmine (1544-0621), an Italian cardinal and the most renowned of all Jesuit controversialists.<sup>10</sup></em></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><em>After accepting the Jesuits’ <strong>Futurist System </strong>(and the <strong>Preterist System</strong>&#8230;) millenarian Protestants no longer saw Rome as a present but only a distant future threat.<sup>11</sup>  We should also mention Irving’s system saw no hope of victory over the present forces of evil except “by the brightness of his coming” in the second advent. With no hope, why try to conquer all things for Christ? </em>~ <em>Death of the Church Victorious</em>, Ovid Need<sup>557</sup> <strong><sup>7</sup></strong></p>
</blockquote>
<p>Perhaps such a complete accomplishment seems impossible—no organization on Earth could so thoroughly control the understanding of almost all Christendom &#8230; could it?</p>

<blockquote><p><span style="color: #800000;">“Unless those days were shortened, no one would be saved.  But for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened.  Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ,’ or ‘There He is,’ do not believe it.  For false christs and false prophets will arise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.  Listen, I have told you beforehand.”</span> ~ Matthew 24:22-25 (Modern English Version)</p></blockquote>
<p><strong>UPDATE 29 March 2017, 01:31 PM, EST</strong></p>
<p>The dichotomy and contrast between the old Mosaic Covenant and new Covenant in Messiah Jesus Christ can clearly be seen in this passage from Jeremiah where even physically circumcised Jews are called “uncircumsized”—</p>
<blockquote><p>Jeremiah 9:25-26, (Modern English Version)<br />
<strong><sup>25</sup></strong> The days are surely coming, says the Lord, that I will punish all who are circumcised and yet uncircumcised—<br />
<strong><sup>26</sup></strong> Egypt, Judah, Edom, the children of Ammon, Moab, and all who dwell in the wilderness who clip the hair on their temples; for all these nations are uncircumcised, and all the house of Israel are uncircumcised of heart.</p></blockquote>
<p>The meaning is clear: true Faith in YHWH (through His Son) is a radical change of the <em>heart</em>.  Righteousness is kept from within, not by memorization, legalism or rote.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I’ve been at this for over a year now.</p>
<p>In that time, the number of connections I’ve made that have proved to be worthwhile are so small as to be negligible.  Allies have turned out to be enemies and enemies have turned out to have some damn smart things to say.</p>
<p>In their desire to disseminate disinformation and to pit “learning against learning” (the Counter-Reformation tactic of sowing truth with lies) it was actually an incognito Jesuit priest who alerted me to the Jesuit World Order.  It took me a while to sniff him out but his pushing of Jesuit doctrines like Zionism, Dispensationalism, Futurism and the Pre-Tribulation Rapture helped me to know that his inexplicable racism wasn’t just a personal dysfunction but confirmation of his true agenda.</p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" src="https://percolate.blogtalkradio.com/offsiteplayer?hostId=854637&amp;episodeId=8011605" width="100%" height="180px" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p>
<p>While Papal insurgents like Joseph Farah of WorldNetDaily and Walid Shoebat, the reformed “terrorist”, pushed Barack Obama’s birth certificate and supposed muslim background, the reality of his past is that he is <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2008/04/10/us/politics/10obama.html?_r=0" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a CIA fabrication</a> <span id='easy-footnote-1-4085' class='easy-footnote-margin-adjust'></span><span class='easy-footnote'><a href='https://johnnycirucci.com/the-jesuit-created-freemasonic-frauds-of-religion/#easy-footnote-bottom-1-4085' title='Messiah went &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nytimes.com/2008/04/10/us/politics/10obama.html?_r=0&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;off teleprompter&lt;/a&gt; during the 2008 campaign and admitted going to Pakistan in the 1980’s when it wasn’t feasible for the average American citizen and spoke of how he “checked in” with the CIA&amp;#8230;to be a jihadi drug mule, most likely.  It’s humorous how the Times notes of this experience that Barry “did not mention [this] in either of his autobiographical books”.  I guess &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.cashill.com/natl_general/barack_obama_bill_ayers.htm&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;Bill Ayers forgot to put&lt;/a&gt; that in.'><sup>1</sup></a></span> who learned to be a black Communist from the best; the Jesuits in Chicago like Greg Galluzzo.</p>
<p>The “Jewish-run” New York Times very <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2014/03/23/us/the-catholic-roots-of-obamas-activism.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">carefully screens Galluzzo</a> as a “former” Jesuit (no such thing) who learned activism from Jewish Communist Saul Alinsky.</p>
<p>The Romans have slithered a long way down from putting out their own legions and now never make a stand unless there’s a patsy Jew standing in front of them—and if there isn’t enough anti-Semitism slamming their target they make sure to have their trolls, operatives and coadjutors stir it up.</p>
<p>Galluzzo ran the so-called “Gamaliel Foundation” that taught disenfranchised blacks in Chicago how to be malcontent Communist “community organizers”.  When it comes to “<strong><em>who?</em></strong>” founded Gamaliel, no one seems to know, (not <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamaliel_Foundation" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Wikipedia</a> nor <a href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/printgroupProfile.asp?grpid=7004" target="_blank" rel="noopener">anyone else</a>) they simply state “<strong><em>when</em></strong>” (1968) and move on, pretending that they’ve answered your question.</p>
<p>We <em>can</em> answer that question at the same time that we answer “Who really runs Chicago?” — with the location of the Gamaliel offices on La Salle Street.</p>
<p>La Salle Street is named after Jean-Baptiste de La Salle, the Roman Catholic patron saint of rabble-rousers — I’m sorry &#8230; “teachers” (same thing). [<a href="http://www.catholiceducation.org/en/education/catholic-contributions/the-catholic-church-and-the-creation-of-the-university.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">quote:</a> “The Church played a central if not exclusive role in the establishment and encouragement of the university.”]

<p>Not to go down a rabbithole but while in Chicago Obama met the man that would eventually pen his “autobiography” for him; Weather Underground terrorist William Ayers.  <a href="http://www.cashill.com/natl_general/barack_obama_bill_ayers.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">This was uncovered</a> by an outstanding investigative journalist named Jack Cashill.  One wonders how Jack is able to get his work published regularly by sites <a href="http://www.wnd.com/author/jcashill/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">like Joseph Farah’s WorldNetDaily</a> until one learns that Jack is a good <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Cashill" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Franciscan-trained Catholic</a>.</p>
<p>One also wonders how William Ayers can go from an unpunished <em>true</em> <a href="http://nypost.com/2015/03/29/weatherman-underground-bomber-unmasked-as-city-schoolteacher/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“domestic terrorist” to teaching</a> your college student how to be like him until one learns how Rome and her Jesuits own <a href="http://www.catholiceducation.org/en/education/catholic-contributions/the-catholic-church-and-the-creation-of-the-university.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“higher education” and always have</a>.</p>
<p>But the Good Lord has a sense of humor and the good news is that, by “coincidence”, I just happened to live right down the street from that very same incognito Jesuit — “Eric Jon Phelps”.  I would not have been able to sniff him out had I not broken bread with him, and his family, on several occasions.</p>
<p>—That’s right; his family.  The man is an incognito Jesuit with a wife and children.</p>
<p>I know what the Lord did for <em>me</em> with this “coincidence” of location, I wonder what He was doing for Eric and the Jesuits.</p>
<p><strong><em>Someone’s Knockin’ At The Door, Somebody’s Ringin’ The Bell&#8230;</em></strong><span id='easy-footnote-2-4085' class='easy-footnote-margin-adjust'></span><span class='easy-footnote'><a href='https://johnnycirucci.com/the-jesuit-created-freemasonic-frauds-of-religion/#easy-footnote-bottom-2-4085' title='&lt;em&gt;Someone’s knockin’ at the door, Somebody’s ringin’ the bell, Someone’s knockin’ at the door, Somebody’s ringin’ the bell, Do me a favor, Open the door and let ‘em in, yeah, let ‘em in.  Sister Suzie, brother John, Martin Luther, Phil and Don, Brother Michael, auntie Gin, Open the door and let ‘em in, yeah.&lt;/em&gt;  Let ‘Em In, Wings, 1976'><sup>2</sup></a></span>
<p>I have something akin to a love/hate relationship with the Seventh Day Adventist Church (more like “love/intense annoyance”).</p>
<p>After the Jesuits woke me up to the Jesuit World Order (I really enjoy writing that), I latched on to the teachings of Seventh Day Adventists like Bill Hughes, Steve Wohlberg, Doug Batchelor and Professor Walter Julius Veith.</p>
<p>Professor Walt, by far, has the most to offer as a dedicated instructor on the topic of “Who rules the world from behind the scenes?”  The other men are good teachers but also pastors so they aren’t dedicated to their craft (sorry!<span id='easy-footnote-3-4085' class='easy-footnote-margin-adjust'></span><span class='easy-footnote'><a href='https://johnnycirucci.com/the-jesuit-created-freemasonic-frauds-of-religion/#easy-footnote-bottom-3-4085' title='I &lt;em&gt;really&lt;/em&gt; want you to know the teachings from these men are just what the Freemasons &lt;em&gt;don’t&lt;/em&gt; want you to hear so it was just a joke!'><sup>3</sup></a></span>) the way Professor Walt is.</p>
<p>You know you’ve arrived when you get <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walter_Veith" target="_blank" rel="noopener">your own Wikipedia entry</a>!</p>
<p>What I’ve found deeply frustrating, however, is that Walter Veith will zero right in on the Luciferian agenda in religion and reality and completely miss the fire in his own house due his blind sectarian zeal.</p>
<p>This is actually true of all the men I’ve mentioned; particularly Pastor Bill Hughes—again, solid men of Christ but fiercely sectarian and just as fiercely blind in that regard.</p>
<p>As a result of how they cling to the doctrines of men along with an honest examination of Scripture (who can really say they have the one true interpretation of all doctrines?!), they get ensnared in traps laid by the very Luciferians they are aware of and preach against.</p>
<p>Perhaps this is why I’ve not gotten a particularly warm reception from those ministries, this despite having taken the money and trouble to send copies of my book out to them.</p>
<p>I proceed with the desire to take the solid teachings of this sect and showing Adventists how to make them much, much better through freeing them from the chains of organized religion via an open examination of their own Luciferian origin.</p>
<p><strong><em>Reformed</em></strong></p>
<blockquote><p>Counter-reformation: <em>noun;</em> coun·ter·ref·or·ma·tion \ˌkau̇n-tə(r)-ˌre-fər-ˈmā-shən\</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><em><strong>1:</strong></em><em>  </em>usually <strong>Counter–Reformation</strong> <strong>:</strong>  the reform movement in the Roman Catholic Church following the Reformation</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><em><strong>2</strong></em><strong>:</strong><em>  </em>a reformation designed to <a href="http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/counter" target="_blank" rel="noopener">counter</a> the effects of a previous reformation</p>
<p style="text-align: right;">~ <a href="http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/counterreformation" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Merriam-Webster</a></p>
</blockquote>
<p>All of the top major sources of information have a completely inadequate and even deceptive definition of the Counter-Reformation.  The above is the closest and it’s still deceptive.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.britannica.com/event/Counter-Reformation" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Britannica puts so much effort</a> into re-writing reality it’s embarrassing; “the Counter-Reformation was a ‘Catholic Revival’ attempt to ‘reform’ Catholic ‘criticisms’ even <em>before</em> the Reformation.”</p>
<p>This should come as no surprise given that <em>all forms of popular media, both mainstream <strong>and “alternative”</strong> are completely controlled by Rome</em>.</p>
<p>Nearly 140 years ago, James Aitken Wylie wrote—</p>
<blockquote><p>When it is a Church or a nation that is to be overthrown, the battle is ordered in the same manner.  The first blow is levelled at that one great principle—for there is such in every society—which is its mainstay, and this cannot be better done than by sowing the seeds of diverse and strange doctrines.  The Sons of Loyola, now flocking to our shores, will not spare to sow such seeds.  We may not see that seed as it falls; its sowers will pass through the land at the dead hour of night; but such seed does not usually lie long under the clod, and the work of these sowers will speedily notify itself by the din—music how sweet to them—of our dissentions and wranglings, which will break out on all sides.</p>
<p>There are two institutions in especial to which the Jesuits will lay siege.  These are the Press and the Pulpit.  They will strain every nerve to possess themselves of both, and work them for their own ends.  The press of Great Britain is already manipulated by them to an extent of which the public but little dream.  Not a few newspapers have a Jesuit on their staff as editor, or “contributor,” or “reporter.”  The reporting force of the kingdom is, to a considerable extent, made up of Romanists; and the esprit de corps is such that a newspaper may, unaware to itself often, be influenced against a cause, or an individual obnoxious to Rome, although it may have no Romanist in its service.  There are names the <em>Times</em> dare not mention; there are causes, true and noble, it dare not advocate.  There are British authors as well as Irish farmers who are “Boycotted.”  The author speaks from documentary evidence when he. says, that the identical Jesuit has been traced through successive disguises in the journalism of the metropolis: now assailing violently in his own proper character of Papist; and now in the guise of a pious Methodist, whispering into the editorial ear, in oily phrase, how much he was pained by such and such an article in his columns, it was so lacking in the sweet grace of charity.  The whole English press of the world is supervised, and the word is passed round how writers, speakers, and causes are to be handled, so that everywhere its verdict may be the same, and applause or condemnation dealt out just as it may accord with the interests and wishes of Rome.<span id='easy-footnote-4-4085' class='easy-footnote-margin-adjust'></span><span class='easy-footnote'><a href='https://johnnycirucci.com/the-jesuit-created-freemasonic-frauds-of-religion/#easy-footnote-bottom-4-4085' title='&lt;em&gt;The Jesuits: Their Moral Maxims And Plots Against Kings, Nations, And Churches&lt;/em&gt;, J. A. Wylie, Hamilton, Adams &amp;amp; Co. Publishers, 1881, pp. 93-94'><sup>4</sup></a></span></blockquote>
<p>So allow me to give you an <em>unbiased</em> definition of the Roman Catholic “Counter-Reformation”: a military agenda of subversion, deception, lies, insurgency, assassination and coups designed to destroy the Protestant Reformation by discrediting the Holy Bible and bring all humanity back under the autocratic and tyrannical authority of Rome.  It is spearheaded by the Vatican’s most diabolical and fanatical order; the Jesuits.</p>
<p>How successful has it been?</p>
<p>—In September of last year, a Jesuit Pope addressed the American people via a joint session of Congress for the first time in United States history.  He did so in a rotunda that mimics St. Peter’s basilica, which stands opposite a massive phallic obelisk just as the one outside St. Peter’s does.</p>

<p>The first part of this agenda took place immediately; a Spanish Basque noble named Ignacio López volunteered to be the Special Forces of this effort and “Ignatius of Loyola” founded the Knights of the Virgin Mary in 1534.  Six years later, Loyola would have his order sanctioned by a Farnese Pope—Paul III—but under the more deceptive name of “the Society of Jesus”.</p>
<p>As Jesuits rose in the ranks and proved their trustworthiness in the service of the Whore of Babylon, they would eventually take <a href="http://www.reformation.org/jesuit-oath.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the Oath of Induction</a>, also known as the 4<sup>th</sup> Oath, the Blood Oath or the Oath of Extreme Unction and his Superior would preface the oath by acknowledging his mission thus far—</p>
<blockquote><p><a href="https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/alberto-jesuit-oath.jpg" rel="prettyPhoto[gallery-tgyL]"><img loading="lazy" class="alignright size-full wp-image-4091" src="https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/alberto-jesuit-oath.jpg" alt="alberto jesuit oath" width="296" height="287" srcset="https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/alberto-jesuit-oath.jpg 296w, https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/alberto-jesuit-oath-150x145.jpg 150w, https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/alberto-jesuit-oath-24x24.jpg 24w, https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/alberto-jesuit-oath-36x36.jpg 36w, https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/alberto-jesuit-oath-48x48.jpg 48w" sizes="(max-width: 296px) 100vw, 296px" /></a>My son, heretofore you have been taught to act the dissembler: among Roman Catholics to be a Roman Catholic, and to be a spy even among your own brethren; to believe no man, to trust no man.  Among the Reformers, to be a reformer; among the Huguenots, to be a Huguenot; among the Calvinists, to be a Calvinist; among other Protestants, generally to be a Protestant, and obtaining their confidence, to seek even to preach from their pulpits, and to denounce with all the vehemence in your nature our Holy Religion and the Pope; and even to descend so low as to become a Jew among Jews, that you might be enabled to gather together all information for the benefit of your Order as a faithful soldier of the Pope.</p>
<p>You have been taught to insidiously plant the seeds of jealousy and hatred between communities, provinces, states that were at peace, and incite them to deeds of blood, involving them in war with each other, and to create revolutions and civil wars in countries that were independent and prosperous, cultivating the arts and the sciences and enjoying the blessings of peace.  To take sides with the combatants and to act secretly with your brother Jesuit, who might be engaged on the other side, but openly opposed to that with which you might be connected, only that the Church might be the gainer in the end, in the conditions fixed in the treaties for peace and that the end justifies the means.</p>
<p>You have been taught your duty as a spy, to gather all statistics, facts and information in your power from every source; to ingratiate yourself into the confidence of the family circle of Protestants and heretics of every class and character, as well as that of the merchant, the banker, the lawyer, among the schools and universities, in parliaments and legislatures, and the judiciaries and councils of state, and to be all things to all men, for the Pope’s sake, whose servants we are unto death.</p></blockquote>
<p>The neophyte would confirm this and, with a dagger to his heart, held by the blade and a black crucifix in his off hand the crescendo of his oath promises—</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8230;that I will, when opportunity present, make and wage relentless war, secretly or openly, against all heretics, Protestants and Liberals, as I am directed to do, to extirpate and exterminate them from the face of the whole earth; and that I will spare neither age, sex or condition; and that I will hang, waste, boil, flay, strangle and bury alive these infamous heretics, rip up the stomachs and wombs of their women and crush their infants’ heads against the walls, in order to annihilate forever their execrable race.  That when the same cannot be done openly, I will secretly use the poisoned cup, the strangulating cord, the steel of the poniard or the leaden bullet, regardless of the honor, rank, dignity, or authority of the person or persons, whatever may be their condition in life, either public or private, as I at any time may be directed so to do by any agent of the Pope or Superior of the Brotherhood of the Holy Faith, of the Society of Jesus.</p></blockquote>
<p>Jesuits were then sent to the <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Isaiah+11%3A10-12&amp;version=MEV" target="_blank" rel="noopener">4 corners of our flat Earth</a> to enact this agenda of deception and subversion.</p>
<p>The Reformers had been doing all they could to put the Word of God into the hands of common men.  A full 150 years before Martin Luther nailed his 95 Theses to the doors of All Saints Cathedral in Wittenberg, John Wycliffe—the Morning Star of the Reformation—had translated the Scriptures into English.  His Lollard followers did all they could to transcribe the Wycliffe Bible and pass them out and many Lollards paid for it by having the Wycliffe Bible tied around their necks to be burned together at the stake.</p>

<p>These efforts were slow and easily thwarted by the viciousness of Rome.</p>
<p>All of that would change in 1439 when Johannes Guttenberg invented a printing press that used “movable type” metal inserts which dramatically sped up the printing process.  Less than 100 years later and less than 500 kilometers from Guttenberg’s home of Mainz, a young Augustinian monk named Martin Luther would fire the shot heard ‘round the world.</p>
<p>Luther’s Protest was taken by Rome the same way she took the protests of the Waldenses, John Wycliffe’s Lollards, Jan Huss, Jerome of Prague and many others; she sought to kill Luther and obliterate his following.</p>
<p>In 1521, Luther was called to stand before the Roman authorities lead by Johann Eck at the Diet of Worms.  It was demanded of the monk that he recant his charges of corruption against Rome, or else!  Knowing what lay before him, Luther stood firm; “Here I stand.  I can do no other.”</p>
<p>The Elector of Saxony, Frederick III, was aghast at Luther’s disobedience &#8230; publicly.</p>
<p>Privately, he adored the upstart priest and, on the pretense of dispensing “justice” kidnapped Luther and interred him in Wartburg castle for safe keeping.</p>
<p>They didn’t call him “Frederick the Wise” for nothing.</p>

<p>While at Wartburg, Luther (as “Junker Jörg” — a Knight named George) had a lot of time on his hands.  He put it to good use by having the new Greek and Latin translations of the Bible done by Desiderius Erasmus brought to him so that he could translate the New Testament into German, which he soon did.</p>
<p>When it was safe for him to return home, Luther then translated the Old Testament as well.</p>
<p>His followers quickly put these documents to the Guttenberg movable-type press and soon flooded the German countryside with the Word of God.</p>
<p>For the first time in her founding, Rome was hit with a threat she couldn’t stamp out or crush.  She was forced to take up a different tactic—one that was nothing less than satanic; to discredit the Bible even if it meant altering the very fabric of reality.</p>
<p>Sound incredible?  I’ll be writing more on this in the near future (Lord willing).</p>
<p><strong><em>Forgotten Failures of Freemasonic Frauds</em></strong></p>
<p>Another tactic of the Dragon and her satanic Special Forces—the Jesuits—was to seed Protestantism with apostate and heretical sects whose doctrines and leaders would be used to humiliate and discredit the movement.</p>
<p>This effort was particularly effective in the 19<sup>th</sup> century when several movements were started by Jesuits’ faux-Protestant footsoldiers; the Freemasons.</p>
<p>The connection of Freemasonry to Mormonism is so profound, Wikipedia has an entry on it.  Joseph Smith, his brother Hyrum and perhaps even their father <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mormonism_and_Freemasonry" target="_blank" rel="noopener">were all Freemasons</a>.  Mormonism differs so strongly from Protestant Christianity it’s considered by many to be a non-Christian cult; the “Jesus” of Mormonism not being the Jesus of Protestantism.</p>
<p>I contend these doctrinal differences are a purposeful agenda.</p>
<p>As I <a href="https://johnnycirucci.com/fritz-springmeier-profile-in-a-government-trained-vatican-terrorist/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">noted to you previously</a>—</p>
<blockquote><p>All of the early Mormon <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mormonism_and_Freemasonry" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>leaders were Freemasons</strong></a> and they were guided behind the scenes by <a href="https://www.nps.gov/mopi/learn/historyculture/history2.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Jesuits like Pierre-Jean de Smet</strong></a> <span id='easy-footnote-5-4085' class='easy-footnote-margin-adjust'></span><span class='easy-footnote'><a href='https://johnnycirucci.com/the-jesuit-created-freemasonic-frauds-of-religion/#easy-footnote-bottom-5-4085' title='Incognito Jesuit “Eric Jon Phelps” also makes this connection in his book &lt;em&gt;Vatican Assassins&lt;/em&gt; by citing the book &lt;em&gt;Black Robe&lt;/em&gt; by Brian Moore.  What Phelps &lt;em&gt;doesn’t&lt;/em&gt; mention is how &lt;em&gt;Black Robe&lt;/em&gt; is “faction”—a fictional novel based upon historical facts.  Many an author in fear of retribution for publishing have utilized “faction” to get secret information out.  Despite these questionable wrinkles, I am still comfortable connecting the dots from Brigham Young to Pierre-Jean de Smet to Albert Pike.'><sup>5</sup></a></span>
<p>The Jesuit/Mason connection is always good for murder and mayhem and it’s not a stretch to imagine Brigham Young’s friend Pierre-Jean whispering in his ear before he urged fellow Mormons to massacre an innocent wagon train full of men, women and children <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mountain_Meadows_massacre" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>at Mountain Meadows, Utah</strong></a>.</p>
<p>When you realize that the Jesuits were behind the attacks on the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Illuminati-Unmasked-Everything-about-World/dp/1506156290" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>World Trade Center and the Pentagon</strong></a>, it’s not so surprising to find that the Mountain Meadows massacre occurred on September 11<sup>th</sup>, 1857.</p></blockquote>
<p>In his teaching titled “The New Age Agenda” Professor Walter Veith notes that all of the early astronauts were either Mormons or Masons (given the connection between Mormonism and Freemasonry it’s basically the same thing).</p>
<p>This is one of Professor Veith’s best teachings.</p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" width="1080" height="810" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/P-8-teAlZsE?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p>What Professor Walt fails to follow with is <em>why</em> the early astronauts were either Mormons or Masons: because space travel is impossible.  It is part of the elaborate Roman re-write of our reality designed to discredit Scripture.</p>
<p>Professor Walt is blind to some other connections even more devastating to Adventism but we’ll get to that in a moment.</p>
<p>Another offshoot of “Protestant Christianity” are the Jehovah’s Witnesses—they’re actually an offshoot of the founder of the Adventists!</p>
<p>There is much controversy over whether founder Charles Taze Russell was a Freemason (they buried the connections deep under a pyramid).  But with the help of author Fritz Springmeier <a href="https://johnnycirucci.com/fritz-springmeier-profile-in-a-government-trained-vatican-terrorist/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">we see connections</a> to Russell’s beliefs, family and even repeated close geographic proximity to Freemasonry and Freemasonic “Temples”.</p>
<p>Too bad we also see that Fritz Springmeier is actually Victor Earl Schoof, <a href="https://johnnycirucci.com/fritz-springmeier-profile-in-a-government-trained-vatican-terrorist/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">government-trained domestic terrorist for Rome</a> and one that used the nefarious origins of the Jehovah’s Witnesses to slander all of Protestantism—just like the Counter-Reformation wanted him to.</p>
<p>It is fascinating to note that, just before his death, Russell exhibited some extremely unusual behavior <a href="http://www.heraldmag.org/olb/contents/history/bio%20ctr.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">as was noted by</a> his future replacement, Joseph Franklin Rutherford—</p>
<blockquote><p>A few weeks ago he started on a trip to the Pacific Coast, preaching every evening, and traveling throughout the remainder of the night and of the day.  His last sermon he preached to the Congregation at Los Angeles; and being too weak to stand, he sat throughout the discourse.  He left Los Angeles Sunday evening on his return to Brooklyn, and rapidly grew weaker.  Seven hours before his death, addressing his traveling companion, Brother Menta Sturgeon, he said, “Make me a Roman toga.”</p>
<p>Using the bed sheets, Brother Sturgeon made a toga, which Brother Russell put on himself.  He stood erect for a moment, and then lying down on the couch in his Pullman drawing room, closed his eyes, thus in symbolic language speaking of death.  A great deal of the Bible is written in symbolic language, and it was quite appropriate that he should speak his last message in symbols.  It is interesting here to know what a Roman toga symbolizes: Augustus’ Poet Laureate, said, “It is by the toga that the royal nation is recognized.”</p></blockquote>
<p>It is absolutely “appropriate” for the founder of the Jehovah’s Witnesses to die “in symbols”—particularly the symbols of <em>Rome</em>.</p>
<p>Let me agree again; it <em>is</em> “by the toga” that the power who rules behind the scenes “is recognized.”</p>
<p><strong><em>Buh-Bahá&#8217;í</em></strong></p>
<p>The Bahá&#8217;í religion was founded by Báb Ali Muhammad Shirāzi via a declaration he made in 1844—an important date and smack in the middle of this era of creating off-shoot cults.</p>
<p>Bahá&#8217;í is an Iranian monotheistic religion that prizes “unity” above all and seeks to unify all religions and peoples.  Does that sound like the agenda of another religion?</p>

<p>Shaykhism is an apocalyptic/messianic offshoot of Shi&#8217;a Islam that is <a href="http://www.bahaiawareness.com/bab01.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">considered to be the forerunner</a> to Bahá&#8217;í.  There is an interesting note regarding the successor of “Mahdi” Sayyid Kazim:</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>Successorship</strong></p>
<p>On the death of Sayyid Kazim on 31 December 1843, some Shaykhis went on to become Babis, some of whom later became Bahais, and the rest split into three factions. It is reported that before dying, instead of appointing a successor, he sent his disciples out to find the Promised One. One of his most noted followers, Mullá Husayn said:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">“Our departed teacher insistently exhorted us to forsake our homes, to scatter far and wide, in quest of the promised Beloved&#8230;  Regarding the features of the Promised One, he told us that He is of a pure lineage, is of illustrious descent, and of the seed of Fatimah.  As to His age, He is more than twenty and less than thirty.  He is endowed with innate knowledge.  He is of medium height, abstains from smoking, and is free from bodily deficiency.”<span id='easy-footnote-6-4085' class='easy-footnote-margin-adjust'></span><span class='easy-footnote'><a href='https://johnnycirucci.com/the-jesuit-created-freemasonic-frauds-of-religion/#easy-footnote-bottom-6-4085' title='quoted in Nabil-i-A´zam’s &lt;em&gt;The Dawn-Breakers, or Nabil’s Narrative, translated by Shoghi Effendi, p. 57&lt;/em&gt;'><sup>6</sup></a></span>
<p>In 1844 Mullá Husayn, after meeting the Siyyid `Alí-Muhammad (the Báb) in Shiraz accepted him as the Mahdi. ~ <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kazim_Rashti" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Wikipedia</a></p></blockquote>
<p>Fatimah plays a key role in Shi&#8217;a Islam:</p>
<blockquote><p>According to Shi’a and non-Muslim scholars, Fatima Zahra was Muhammad’s only daughter.<sup>[1]</sup>  The Sunni belief that he had other daughters by Khadijah denies Ali ibn Abu Talib the distinction of being Muhammad’s only son-in-law.  She is held in highest of esteem, as being the single most ideal example for all women; in terms of her purity and the eventual martyrdom of her son, she is considered to be the Muslim counterpart to the Christian Mary, mother of Jesus; indeed, one of her names is <em>Maryam al-Kubrá</em>, or “the greater Mary”.<sup>[2]</sup> ~ <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shia_view_of_Fatimah" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Wikipedia</a></p></blockquote>
<p>If you’ve seen the name before in Catholic circles, here’s why:</p>
<blockquote><p><em>Apparition Apprehensions</em></p>
<p>In 1916, three Portuguese children were herding sheep when an angel appeared to them on multiple occasions at <em>Cova da Iria </em>(“Irene’s Cove”) just outside of Fátima.  Lucia dos Santos was 9 and her cousin Francisco Marto was 8.  Francisco’s sister, Jacinta Marto, was 6.  The angel taught them how to pray1722 and “sacrifice” on behalf of sinners.1723 &#8230;</p>
<p>Despite their claims, they were ridiculed by some and the apparition they saw promised to give them powerful prophecies on the 13th of the month, in October of 1917.</p>
<p>Between May and October of 1917, always on the 13th of the month, the children received three secrets.  Lucia eventually disclosed them from the Convent where she became a nun.  Francisco and Jacinta died just a few short years later in the Spanish Flu Epidemic of 1918-20.</p>
<p>It is important to note that October 13th 1307 is established by the Luciferian Elite as the day Pope Clement V collaborated with France’s King Philip IV and suppressed the Vatican Treasury guardians—the Knights Templar.1725</p>
<p>There are many questions surrounding the apparition at Fátima.  Why would it choose a location so easily identified by muslims?</p>
<p>Is the apparition of Fátima a cunningly-divined hoax for the political power of uniting Catholicism with Islam?</p>
<p>Only the children saw “Mary”, even during the October event in 1917.  Two of them died shortly thereafter and the third was controlled from a convent.  She even admits she was directed to reveal what she saw by Catholic authorities. ~ <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Illuminati-Unmasked-Everything-about-World/dp/1506156290" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>Illuminati Unmasked</em></a> <span id='easy-footnote-7-4085' class='easy-footnote-margin-adjust'></span><span class='easy-footnote'><a href='https://johnnycirucci.com/the-jesuit-created-freemasonic-frauds-of-religion/#easy-footnote-bottom-7-4085' title='&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.amazon.com/Illuminati-Unmasked-Everything-about-World/dp/1506156290&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Illuminati Unmasked&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, Johnny Cirucci, CreateSpace (2015), pp. 662, 663, 669'><sup>7</sup></a></span></blockquote>
<p>Ex-Jesuit priest <a href="https://johnnycirucci.com/archived-news/ex-jesuit-priest-alberto-rivera-reveals-how-the-vatican-created-islam/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Alberto Rivera contended</a> that both Islam and Fátima/Fatimah were heavily manipulated from the very beginning for Rome to wield the Scimtar of Islam, which makes it even more disturbing to see how she does this while hiding behind the “Shield of David”.</p>
<p>There are other indicators of a Freemasonic founding of Bahá&#8217;í such as the Luciferian/gnostic symbolism like Bahai’s 9-pointed star. [Trying to make “Bahá&#8217;í” possessive was just a bridge too far.]
<blockquote><p><strong><a href="https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Baháí-star.jpg" rel="prettyPhoto[gallery-tgyL]"><img loading="lazy" class="alignright size-full wp-image-4096" src="https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Baháí-star.jpg" alt="Bahá'í star" width="180" height="182" srcset="https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Baháí-star.jpg 180w, https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Baháí-star-148x150.jpg 148w, https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Baháí-star-100x100.jpg 100w, https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Baháí-star-24x24.jpg 24w, https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Baháí-star-36x36.jpg 36w, https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Baháí-star-48x48.jpg 48w" sizes="(max-width: 180px) 100vw, 180px" /></a>Nine-Pointed Star</strong></p>
<p>According to the Abjad system of Isopsephy, the word Bahá’ has a numerical equivalence of 9, and thus there is frequent use of the number 9 in Bahá’í symbols.<sup>[8]</sup>  The most commonly used symbol connected to the number 9 is the <em>nine-pointed star</em>&#8230;  While the star is not a part of the teachings of the Bahá’í Faith, it is commonly used as an emblem representing “9”, because of the association of number 9 with perfection, unity and Bahá’.</p>
<p>The number 9 also comes up several times in Bahá’í history and teachings. On the significance of the number 9, Shoghi Effendi wrote:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">“Concerning the number nine: the Bahá’ís reverence this for two reasons, first because it is considered by those interested in numbers as the sign of perfection. The second consideration, which is the more important one, is that it is the numerical value of the word “Bahá’”…<br />
“Besides these two significances the number nine has no other meaning. It is, however, enough to make the Bahá’ís use it when an arbitrary number is to be chosen.”<sup>[12]</sup></p>
<p>Its use on gravestone markers was approved by Shoghi Effendi, then head of the religion, in 1944.<sup>[13]</sup> ~ <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bah%C3%A1%27%C3%AD_symbols#Nine-pointed_star" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Wikipedia</a></p></blockquote>
<p>Nine is, indeed, a number of “completion” &#8230; <a href="http://www.elecbk.com/numerology.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">to Freemasons</a> [WARNING: clicking on that link then clicking on “Home” put me in a pop-up spam loop.]—</p>
<blockquote><p>NINE: Nine is a number representing wholeness and completion as expressed in the Royal Arch, one of whose meanings is the Vault of Heaven, and therefore is especially significant.</p>

<p>Other connotations include: the High Priest (First of Nine); Joshua.</p></blockquote>
<p>If the above 9-pointed star looks a lot like the so-called “Star of David” just with an extra triangle jammed in, that’s because it is.</p>
<p>The 6-pointed star is a gnostic, pagan/demonic symbol used to invoke sex magick (joining two pubic areas) as well as to symbolize the Luciferian mocking desire for “as above, so below”.</p>

<p>It <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_objections_to_the_Baha%27i_Faith" target="_blank" rel="noopener">has since been expunged</a> (I’m not sure how a Freemasonic founding of Bahá&#8217;í is a “political objection”).  Not even a sanitized account that mentions the ties but then “debunks” them is allowed.  Fortunately I found it <a href="http://www.liquisearch.com/political_accusations_against_the_bahai_faith/bah%C3%A1%C3%AD_ties_to_freemasonry" target="_blank" rel="noopener">archived here</a>.</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>Bahá&#8217;í Ties To Freemasonry</strong></p>
<p>Iranian critics of this faith have also accused the Bahá&#8217;í Faith of having ties to Freemasonry.  As Freemasonry was a secretive society originating from the West, many in Iran connected the movement with the introduction of foreign ideas into the country in order to undermine Iranian values. Claims were made that many of the earliest Freemason lodges, such as Malkom Khan&#8217;s <em>faramush-khanih</em>, which were founded in 1858, were linked to European lodges.  However, Freemasonry was brought to Iran by Iranians who had seen the movement in other parts of the world.</p>
<p>Specific accusations connecting the Bahá&#8217;í Faith to Freemasonry often include an assertion that Dr. Dhabih Qurban, who was a well-known Bahá&#8217;í, was also a freemason.  This assertion is based on an Iranian book publishing documents related to Freemasonry in the country; that book states that in specific pages of Fazel Mazandarani&#8217;s book on the Bahá&#8217;í Faith there are statements that Dr. Dhabih Qurban is a Freemason, but in fact Freemasony is not mentioned in the pages of the referenced Bahá&#8217;í book.  Furthermore, the Iranian book that is the source of the accusation includes a discussion between the Grand Master of the Great Lodge in Iran, and the Grand Master notes that “no Bahá&#8217;ís have become masons and this is repeated by others present with no-one disagreeing.”</p>
<p>The teachings of the Baha&#8217;i Faith expressly forbid membership in secret societies.  Shoghi Effendi, the guardian of the Bahá&#8217;í Faith, asked all Bahá&#8217;ís to remove their memberships from all secret societies, including the Freemasons, so that they can serve the teachings of the Bahá&#8217;í Faith without compromising their independence.</p></blockquote>
<p>The Bahá&#8217;í prohibition against joining Freemasonry sounds suspiciously like the supposed war against the Masons waged by Rome—something I prove to the contrary <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Illuminati-Unmasked-Everything-about-World/dp/1506156290" target="_blank" rel="noopener">in my book</a>.</p>
<p>The Bahai Insider blog seems to have <a href="https://thebahaiinsider.com/2015/01/11/abdul-baha-asks-manchester-bahais-to-conceal-their-beliefs-and-act-like-freemasons/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a little bit more to go</a> on than the erased section from Wikipedia’s <em>Political objections to the Baha&#8217;i Faith</em>.</p>
<blockquote><p>Dr. Dhabih Qurban, was a well-known Iranian Bahá’í and also a Freemason.  Moojan Momen tried to refute that no Baha’is were linked to the Freemasonry but his refutation with poor references has no value as the prominent Iranian Historian Abdollah Shahbazi has given numerous references that not only Dhabih Qurban but many other Baha’is were also active Freemasons. ~ <em><a href="https://thebahaiinsider.com/2015/01/11/abdul-baha-asks-manchester-bahais-to-conceal-their-beliefs-and-act-like-freemasons/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Abdul Baha asks Manchester Baha’is to conceal their beliefs and act like Freemasons!</a></em> Bahai Insider</p></blockquote>

<p><strong><em>A Warning To My Adventist Brethren</em></strong></p>
<p>I’ve saved the best for last.</p>
<p>On “the first Sabbath in August, 1833”, a Baptist preacher named William Miller began to speak out on how he had calculated the near-return of Jesus Christ based upon a shockingly flawed and deceptive interpretation of Daniel 8:14.</p>
<p>Daniel Chapter 8 is a vision that the Prophet Daniel was given regarding the kingdoms of Medo/Persia and Greece—we don’t have to wonder about this because the latter half of the chapter is the Archangel Gabriel explaining this to Daniel!</p>
<p>It is a difficult passage that states the span of time between the ceasing of sacrifices and the cleansing of the Temple would be two thousand, three hundred “days”—but, more accurately, “evenings and mornings” which is the Hebrew reckoning for a “day” that may not mean exact days.</p>
<p>One possible interpretation is that, due to the Mosaic practice of conducting a morning and evening sacrifice, the actual days should be half the prediction.  If that were the case, the span between Antiochus Epiphanes’ desecration of the Temple and its restoration under the Maccabees of <a href="http://www.moellerhaus.com/2300.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">167 to 164 B.C. does work</a>.</p>
<p>Even here there are problems because other passages connect the “little horn” with the office of the Papacy while Daniel 8:10-11 states that the little horn trampled under a number of the stars of Heaven (angels?) and magnified himself to the level of the Prince of Heaven (the Son of God?).  In verse 13 he tramples truth, itself!  That verse speaks to us today in ways that will rock your world.</p>
<p>There is no easy way to understand this passage, even with Gabriel’s help but that’s another rub; Gabriel is the herald of Jesus Christ yet there doesn’t seem to be an obvious connection to Christ in this prophecy—perhaps there actually is and it remains to be brought out.</p>
<p>One thing is sure; William Miller’s interpretation was <em>way</em> off:</p>
<blockquote><p>Basing his calculations principally on Daniel 8:14: “Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed”, Miller assumed that the <em>cleansing of the sanctuary</em> represented the Earth’s purification by fire at Christ’s Second Coming.  Then, using the interpretive principle of the “day-year principle”, Miller (and others) interpreted a <em>day in prophecy</em> to read not as a 24-hour period, but rather as a calendar year.  Further, Miller became convinced that the 2,300 day period started in 457 BC with the decree to rebuild Jerusalem by Artaxerxes I of Persia.  Simple calculation then revealed that this period would end in 1843.  Miller records, “I was thus brought&#8230; to the solemn conclusion, that in about twenty-five years from that time 1818 all the affairs of our present state would be wound up.”<sup>[8]</sup> ~ <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Miller_(preacher)#Religious_views" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Wikipedia</a></p></blockquote>
<p>Although use of the day/year principle of prophecy interpretation is sound (and is actually <em>critical</em> in understanding Daniel 7:25 to speak of the Papacy rolling into her control of the United States—the Beast of the Land in Revelation 13) it simply doesn’t work under these parameters.</p>
<p>As the expected time of Christ’s Return came about, Millerites (early Adventists) went to all extremes in preparation for seeing their Savior; many sold all they had.  They were devastated when Jesus failed to appear.</p>
<blockquote><p>This dashed hope came to be known as “The Great Disappointment.”  In his book <em>When Time Shall Be No More,</em> historian Paul Boyer offers an example of the deep despondency suffered by the Millerites.  In the words of one tragically disappointed believer: “Our fondest hopes and expectations were blasted, and such a spirit of weeping came over us as I never experienced before….  We wept, and wept, till the day dawned” (page 81).</p>
<p>When Jesus did not return as expected, many who had hopefully waited for the return of their Savior threw off their faith completely.  Some refused to give up their hope and eventually replaced one delusion with another.  They would claim that Christ must have come invisibly in 1844, moving into the Holy of Holies in heaven to begin his “investigative judgment” of Christian lives.</p>
<p>Many simply returned to the churches out of which they had come, no doubt confused, distraught and embarrassed to have accepted something that was revealed to have been an empty fantasy.  Miller, having renounced his prophecy studies after the Great Disappointment, died in 1849.  Any remaining followers split up over differences of belief and doctrine.  Ultimately, a variety of groups arose from the ashes of the Millerite camp, including the Jehovah’s Witnesses and Seventh-day Adventists.</p>
<p>Actually, the October 1844 debacle was the <em>second</em> great disappointment for followers of Miller’s chronology and prophecy blueprint.  He had previously announced that the coming of Jesus Christ would occur in about the year 1843.  The year came and went without Christ’s return.  Miller’s prophetic claim had failed and disappointed many people.</p>
<p>Then someone pointed out that he had neglected to take into account the transition from B.C. to A.D., so that his calculations were one year off.  Miller then moved the expected return of Jesus forward by one year, this time to Oct.  22, 1844.  But the great disappointment happened once again to the thousands of followers who had given away their possessions and waited in expectant belief — for nothing.  ~ <a href="https://www.gci.org/history/disappointment" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>The Great Disappointment</em></a>, Grace Communion International</p></blockquote>
<p>The disappointment of 1843 wasn’t devastating enough, it was contrived that computing the carry over from B.C. to A.D. required one <em>add</em> a year to humiliate Christians again?!  A true reckoning of the cross over from B.C. to A.D. <em>subtracts</em> a year because there is no “year 0”.</p>
<p>Not only are Jehovah’s Witnesses connected to this debacle, but Baháis is as well!</p>
<p>When it was clear that Miller was wrong, key Baháis ran to claim that the Báb was Christ returned in 1844.</p>
<blockquote><p>Members of the Bahá&#8217;í Faith believe that Miller’s interpretation of signs and dates of the coming of Jesus were, for the most part, correct.<sup>[15]</sup>  They believe that the fulfillment of biblical prophecies of the coming of Christ came through a forerunner of their own religion, the Báb, who declared that he was the “Promised One” on May 23, 1844, and began openly teaching in Persia in October 1844.<sup>[16]</sup><sup>[17]</sup>  Several Bahá&#8217;í books and pamphlets make mention of the Millerites, the prophecies used by Miller and the Great Disappointment, most notably William Sears’ <em>Thief in the Night</em>.<sup>[18]</sup><sup>[19]</sup><sup>[20]</sup> ~ <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Disappointment#Validity_in_Bah.C3.A1.27.C3.AD_Faith" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Wikipedia</a></p></blockquote>
<p>There are entire <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Shall-Come-Again-Hushidar-Motlagh/dp/0937661015" target="_blank" rel="noopener">books written on validating</a> this embarrassment from muslim and Bahá&#8217;í <a href="http://apocalypsesecrets.com/content/1844-ends-cycle-prophecy-and-opens-cycle-fulfillment" target="_blank" rel="noopener">authors trying to cover</a> for William Miller&#8230;why?</p>
<p>—Because William Miller was a Freemason.</p>
<p>Miller <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Miller_(preacher)#Miller_and_Freemasonry" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“resigned” in 1831</a> but this was long after he, himself, admits he received the interpretive “vision” of Daniel 8:14.</p>
<p>Looking for hints of Freemasonry (such as using the term “Brother” as a title) in William Miller’s biography, I came across the attempt to excuse his humiliating failure as something he was just <em>tortured</em> to do—</p>
<blockquote><p>Mr. Miller succeeded in the accomplishment of his wishes, assisting according to his ability and known liberality.</p>
<p>He continued to make the Bible his daily study, and became more and more convinced that he had a personal duty to perform respecting what he conceived the Bible to teach of the nearness of the Advent [the Return of Jesus Christ].  These impressions he thus describes:</p>
<p>“When I was about my business, it was continually ringing in my ears, ‘Go and tell the world of their danger.’” &#8230;</p>
<p>“I prayed that some minister might see the truth, and devote himself to its promulgation; but still it was impressed upon me, ‘Go and tell it to the world: their blood will I require at thy hand.’”</p></blockquote>
<p style="text-align: center;">[I find it odd that the Lord would communicate in Old English.]
<blockquote><p>“‘The more I presented it in conversation, the more dissatisfied I felt with myself for withholding it from the public.  I tried to excuse myself to the Lord for not going out and proclaiming it to the world.  I told the Lord that I was not used to public speaking; that I had not the necessary qualifications to gain the attention of an audience; that I was very diffident, and feared to go before the world; that they would ‘not believe me nor hearken to my voice;’ that I was ‘slow of speech, and of a slow tongue.’  But I could get no relief.”</p>
<p>In this way he struggled on for nine years longer, pursuing the study of the Bible, doing all he could to present the nearness of Christ’s coming to those whom circumstances threw in his way; but resisting the impressions of duty to go out as a public teacher.  He was then fifty years old, and it seemed impossible for him to surmount the obstacle which lay in his path, to successfully present it in a public manner.</p></blockquote>
<p>Interestingly, this inability to speak powerfully in public (likened, not for lack of cheek, to Moses, himself) didn’t slow him from gaining power and prestige&#8230;exactly what one would expect from a Luciferian Freemason favorite.</p>
<blockquote><p>His freedom to convene on the subject, and the ability with which he was able to defend his own views, and oppose those differing from him, had given him no little celebrity in his denomination in all that region; and some were rather shy in approaching him.  Elder T. [Truman<span id='easy-footnote-9-4085' class='easy-footnote-margin-adjust'></span><span class='easy-footnote'><a href='https://johnnycirucci.com/the-jesuit-created-freemasonic-frauds-of-religion/#easy-footnote-bottom-9-4085' title='I would love to know why folks in the 19&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; century (Adventists, especially) used initials for names.  I can tell you, finding who these people are ain’t easy—you’re blessed I’m obsessive-compulsive.  My wife—not so much.'><sup>9</sup></a></span>] Hendryx, a Baptist clergyman now in the State of Pennsylvania, who has kindly furnished the biographer with many original letters from Mr. Miller, thus speaks of his first acquaintance with him:</p>
<p>“My first acquaintance with Brother Miller was in the summer of 1881.  I had been requested to visit the Baptist church in Hampton, and concluded to go.” ~ <em>Memoirs of William Miller</em> by Sylvester Bliss, published by Joshua V. Himes, 1853, Boston, pp. 92-93</p></blockquote>
<p>—And then there’s “<em>Brother</em> Miller”, titled as such like the good Freemason he was.  Of course we’re to take, “<em>Brother</em>” Hendryx in 19<sup>th</sup> century Adventist speak but, sadly, it’s actually the same.</p>
<p>Here are important things to take into consideration regarding what could have been going on behind the scenes:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">* the Jesuits are <em>experts</em> in Bible prophecy and even more adept at warping it to cover their tracks<br />
* the day/year principle <a href="http://christianitybeliefs.org/end-times-deceptions/the-beasts-of-daniel-and-revelation/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">outs Rome as the Whore of Babylon</a> the very Chapter before; the misapplication casts doubt on <em>all</em> applications<br />
* Miller claimed to be a Baptist; a sect very high on the Jesuit hit-list</p>
<p>One would’ve thought that this humiliation would’ve been the death nell for the Millerites but with strange contortions of 1844 being “<a href="http://1844madesimple.org/biblical-parallels-to-judgment" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Investigative Judgment</a>”, they carried on.  Again we must ask, “Why?”  Was there so much of value in what was left of the Millerite movement or was it a vehicle that the Puppet Masters wanted to continue to ride out?</p>
<p>One man who stayed after “The Great Disappointment” was James Springer White.</p>
<p>White met and married a young woman a year later, in 1845, and built the rest of the Seventh Day Adventist movement on her writings and visions—Ellen Gould Harmon, who then became Ellen G. White.</p>
<p>Ellen G. White is so highly venerated by Adventists it approaches the same Semiramis / Isis / “Mary” cult of Babylon / Egypt / Rome that they so effectively preach against.  The Banner at the top of the <a href="http://www.connectingwithjesus.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">official web site</a> of the Ellen White Estate is shocking.</p>

<p>It could easily have come from any Roman Catholic domain.</p>
<p><strong><em>Un-real</em></strong></p>
<p>The Jesuits and their Freemasonic henchmen have been busy from the beginning discrediting the Word of God with a literal re-write of our reality; just as Gabriel predicted to Daniel, “truth has been trampled upon”!</p>
<p>Darwin, dinosaurs, space travel, spinning globe Earth—all have been shockingly woven from the Reformation to this day and, sadly, the writings and “visions” of Ellen White contribute to it—despite her excellent warnings about Rome (perhaps <em>because</em> of them).</p>
<p>Do Adventists have such clear vision regarding the Fourth and Final Beast because the Beast gave that information to them to sweeten their Luciferian founding and resulting disinformation like the ability to visit other planets?</p>
<p>In the same way that NASA “astronaut” Mark Kelly handles his wife, Gabrielle Giffords, after the brain injury she received during the <a href="http://www.thegovernmentrag.com/how-nasa-navy-aided-in-trading-americans-guns-for-technology-and-littoral-ships.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">false flag of the Tucson mass shooting</a>, it appears James Springer White “handled” Ellen to insure the best and worst information was circulated starting with a coverup of “the Great Disappointment” and rolling into space travel.</p>
<blockquote><p>It is well known that many were expecting the Lord to come at the 7<sup>th</sup> month, 1845.  That Christ would then come we firmly believed.  A few days before the time passed, I was at Fairhaven, and Dartmouth Mass., with a message on this point of time.  At this time, Ellen was with the band at Carver, Mass., where she saw in vision, that we should be disappointed, and that the saints must pass through the “time of Jacob’s trouble,” which was future.  Her view of Jacob’s trouble was entirely new to us, as well as herself.  At our conference in Topsham, Maine, last Nov., Ellen had a vision of the handy works of God.  She was guided to the planets Jupiter, Saturn, and I think one more.  After she came out of vision, she could give a clear description of their Moons, etc.  It is well known, that she knew nothing of astronomy, and could not answer one question in relation to the planets, before she had this vision. {1847 JW, WLF 22.6} ~ <em>A Word to the Little Flock</em>, James White<span id='easy-footnote-10-4085' class='easy-footnote-margin-adjust'></span><span class='easy-footnote'><a href='https://johnnycirucci.com/the-jesuit-created-freemasonic-frauds-of-religion/#easy-footnote-bottom-10-4085' title='Although the careful cataloguing of Ellen White’s voluminous works &lt;a href=&quot;http://whiteestate.org/books/abrevlist.asp&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;by her estate&lt;/a&gt; is helpful, the specialized numbering of each document and the way Adventists reference them by their numbers leaves me more than disquieted regarding her role to them.'><sup>10</sup></a></span></blockquote>
<p>A more controversial example (but one catalogued by the Ellen White Estate) was that of Miss Marion Concordia Stowell Truesdail (whose married name was Crawford).  After being a present during a vision Ellen states she had, Miss Truesdail later recounted it—</p>
<blockquote><p>“Sister White was in very feeble health, and while prayers were offered in her behalf, the Spirit of God rested upon us.  We soon noticed that she was insensible to earthly things.  This was her first view of the planetary world.  After counting aloud the moons of Jupiter, and soon after those of Saturn, she gave a beautiful description of the rings of the latter.  She then said, ‘The inhabitants are a tall, majestic people, so unlike the inhabitants of earth.  Sin has never entered here.’  It was evident from Brother Bates’s smiling face that his past doubts in regard to the source of her visions were fast leaving him.  We all knew that Captain Bates was a great lover of astronomy, as he would often locate many of the heavenly bodies for our instruction.  When Sister White replied to his questions, after the vision, saying that she had never studied or otherwise received knowledge in this direction, he was filled with joy and happiness.  He praised God, and expressed his belief that this vision concerning the planets was given that he might never again doubt.” {EGWC 93.4} ~ <a href="http://text.egwwritings.org/publication.php?pubtype=Book&amp;bookCode=EGWC&amp;pagenumber=93&amp;paragraphReferences=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>Ellen G. White And Her Critics</em></a>, p. 93</p></blockquote>
<p><strong><em>Jehovah’s Whitenesses: The Eye And The Obelisk</em></strong></p>
<p>Jehovah’s Witnesses, after having been birthed by the Millerite movement, managed to put out their <a href="http://www.jwfacts.com/watchtower/failed-1914-predictions.php" target="_blank" rel="noopener">own failed prophecies</a> to humiliate Christians with (their reputation for being a cult, notwithstanding).</p>
<p>Another odd, disturbing, parallel between Adventists and Witnesses is the idea that the Archangel <a href="http://www.catholic.com/quickquestions/is-it-true-jehovah39s-witnesses-believe-that-michael-the-archangel-and-jesus-are-the-" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Michael is a theophany</a> <span id='easy-footnote-11-4085' class='easy-footnote-margin-adjust'></span><span class='easy-footnote'><a href='https://johnnycirucci.com/the-jesuit-created-freemasonic-frauds-of-religion/#easy-footnote-bottom-11-4085' title='I was really concerned about using a Roman Catholic apologetic site on this topic but, after careful examination, I judged the site to be sound!  We call this “discernment”.  ; )'><sup>11</sup></a></span> of Jesus Christ.  This doctrine is ridiculous in light of Michael’s mention in the New Testament [<a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Jude+9&amp;version=NKJV" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jude 9</a>, <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation+12%3A7-8&amp;version=MEV" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Revelation 12:7</a>], after the Incarnation of Christ yet both sects still cling to this belief.  Knowing what I know of the Luciferians, I trace this heresy to the idea that Lucifer is too powerful to be handled by anything less than the Son of God, Himself.  This is most assuredly <em>not</em> the case and not Scriptural.</p>
<p>In her writings, Ellen White made mention of the “all-seeing eye” of God which has no place in the Word of God but is quite prominent in Luciferian, gnostic and Freemasonic writing as Lucifer is the great voyeur who secretly watches.</p>
<blockquote><p>There is need of each one in every school and in every institution to be as was Daniel—in such close connection with the Source of all wisdom that his powers will enable him to reach the highest standard of his duties in every line, that he may be able to fulfill his scholastic requirements, not only under able teachers, but also under the supervision of heavenly intelligences, knowing that the all-seeing, the ever sleepless Eye is upon him. {SpM 75.2} ~ <a href="http://text.egwwritings.org/publication.php?pubtype=Book&amp;bookCode=SpM&amp;lang=en&amp;pagenumber=75&amp;m=1&amp;paragraphReferences=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>Spalding and Magan Collection</em></a>, p. 75</p></blockquote>

<blockquote><p>“Ever seek to exert a good influence, that God may approve of your works.  Remember you are forming a character for heaven or for destruction.  Oh, that you may form a good Christian character!  You are daily stamping a record of your life by your course of action here.  Let all your acts be such that you would not be ashamed to meet them in the judgment.  God’s eye never slumbers or sleeps.  This all-seeing eye is ever upon you.” {3MR 52.1} ~ <a href="https://text.egwwritings.org/publication.php?pubtype=Book&amp;bookCode=3MR&amp;pagenumber=52" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>Manuscript Releases</em></a>, Vol. 3 [Nos. 162-209], p. 52</p></blockquote>

<p>The grave of Charles Taze Russell is marked by a massive pyramid decorated with the Templar cross-in-crown surrounded by Roman laurels on each side.</p>

<p>Similarly, it has been noted that James Springer White had an obelisk mark his grave and that another marks Ellen’s.</p>
<p><a href="https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/obelisks-of-james-and-ellen-white.png" rel="prettyPhoto[gallery-tgyL]"><img loading="lazy" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4105" src="https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/obelisks-of-james-and-ellen-white.png" alt="obelisks of james and ellen white" width="1560" height="771" srcset="https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/obelisks-of-james-and-ellen-white.png 1560w, https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/obelisks-of-james-and-ellen-white-150x74.png 150w, https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/obelisks-of-james-and-ellen-white-300x148.png 300w, https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/obelisks-of-james-and-ellen-white-768x380.png 768w, https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/obelisks-of-james-and-ellen-white-1024x506.png 1024w, https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/obelisks-of-james-and-ellen-white-24x12.png 24w, https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/obelisks-of-james-and-ellen-white-36x18.png 36w, https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/obelisks-of-james-and-ellen-white-48x24.png 48w, https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/obelisks-of-james-and-ellen-white-400x198.png 400w" sizes="(max-width: 1560px) 100vw, 1560px" /></a></p>
<p>As <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Illuminati-Unmasked-Everything-about-World/dp/1506156290" target="_blank" rel="noopener">I note in my book</a>, these obelisks are the phallus of Osiris—not very appropriate on the grave of a Christian prophetess and her husband.</p>
<p><strong><em>The Creator Gets A Vote</em></strong></p>
<p>As <a href="https://johnnycirucci.com/fritz-springmeier-profile-in-a-government-trained-vatican-terrorist/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">I told you before</a>, military tacticians are taught “the enemy gets a vote” before plans are acted upon.</p>
<p>Despite these troubling aspects regarding the Seventh Day Adventist sect, I do not consider them a cult.  In fact, I consider Adventists—their Luciferian founding and bad doctrines included—to have been chosen by YHWH to carry the vessel of His Truth through this very Counter-Reformation PSYOP to today!</p>
<p>The Adventists are the last true Protestants and their teaching on Rome, Futurism, Preterism, the Pre-Tribulation Rapture, Dispensationalism and Zionism are peerlessly accurate.  That’s why Jesuit-trained and managed Bill Clinton targeted the <a href="https://johnnycirucci.com/the-clinton-years/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Branch Davidians for slaughter</a>.</p>
<p>In the way that the gallows Haman built for Mordechai eventually executed him and his entire family, the Roman Luciferians were too smart by half when they created the Milleriate movement to humiliate Christians with.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>“Bible Answer Man” Hank Hanegraaff and his “Christian Research Institute” are the Snopes of Western Christendom and, just like the <a href="http://accuracyinpolitics.blogspot.com/2013/05/snopes-got-snoped.html">devious couple behind “Snopes”</a>, they work tirelessly on behalf of the Luciferian Elite to sow discord and protect the Final Beast of Biblical prophecy: <em>Rome</em>.</p>
<p>I’ve told you this before—we Christians have been intimidated and lied to about why we don’t need to fight for Truth.  We’re told “satan owns the globe” and, therefore, there’s no sense trying to stand up to him.  We should just sit in a corner and wait for the Pre-Tribulation Rapture to beam us out.</p>
<p>There will be <a href="http://www.johnnycirucci.com/the-rapture-isnt-coming-for-you-but-these-things-are/">no “Pre-Tribulation Rapture.”</a></p>
<p><em>We</em> own the Earth.  It was given to Adam to steward as a son of God.  Adam’s sin surrendered that authority for his children (who are all sons of Adam, sons of a man) but <em>the</em> Son of God, Jesus Christ won it back for us—for all who surrender to <em>Him</em>.</p>
<p>If our adversary “owns” anything it is the parasitic <em>system</em> that he built which he uses to usurp and control our Earth.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8230;the devil took Him up on an exceedingly high mountain, and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory.  And he said to Him, “All these things I will give You if You will fall down and worship me.”</p>
<p>Then Jesus said to him, <span style="color: #a30707;">“Away with you, Satan!  For it is written, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only you shall serve.’”</span> ~ Matthew 4:8-10 (NKJV)</p></blockquote>
<p>Although he <em>masquerades</em> as an angel of light [<a href="http://biblehub.com/2_corinthians/11-14.htm">II Corinthians 11:14</a>], our adversary is the very <em>father of lies</em> [<a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John+8%3A44&amp;version=NKJV">John 8:44</a>].  His entire empire is <em>built</em> upon them.  Without lies, falsehoods and propaganda, the chains fall off.</p>
<p>It’s that simple.</p>
<p>As a result, he has invested a sizable portion of all the wealth he has stolen and hoarded into buying pawns and traitors to Christianity to shore up the matrix we live in.</p>
<p>Enter Hendrick “Hank” Hanegraaff and the “Christian Research Institute”.</p>
<p>I grew up (spiritually), immersed in the Matrix of the Final Beast.  I came to Christ at a Calvary Chapel—a movement that has <a href="http://www.spiritual-research-network.com/calvarychapelalert.html">strong ties with Rome</a>.  I spent the next ten years of my Christian Walk learning from Dr. Chuck Missler—a man born of the military/industrial complex who has put a great amount of effort into fooling Believers <a href="http://watchmanforjesus.blogspot.com/2012/06/chuck-missler-his-vatican-ecumenical.html">with Rome’s doctrines</a>.  These doctrines include everything from the ball-Earth, heliocentric, cosmic accident of our supposed cosmology to a future Dispensationalist role of the fabricated nation of “Israel”; from the “Pre-Tribulation Rapture” to first Russia and now Islam replacing Rome as our greatest threat (all fabricated distractions from the Whore of Babylon, the Fourth and Final Beast).</p>
<p>One of my first experiences with Hank Hanegraaf and the “Christian Research Institute” was in concern over their attacking my virtual Jesuit mentor, Chuck Missler.  Of course, they weren’t attacking Missler on the critical issues taught by Rome like Dispensationalism or distracting Believers from understanding the “Holy Roman Empire” to be the Final Beast, they were simply attacking “Koinonia House” on teaching the importance of prophecy.</p>
<p>This is an old trick.</p>
<p>In the field of subversion and counter-intelligence, you can plant your agents deep into the enemy’s camp by having them <em>seem</em> to out other agents.  In reality, CRI’s “critique” of Missler also helps Rome!  Prophecy is critical to understanding our environment and also an important factor in discerning who runs the system of Mystery Babylon—the hidden control of all banks, militaries, intelligence agencies, media and governments.</p>
<p><strong>SUPPRESSED</strong></p>
<p>The Company of Loyola—the Jesuits—is a military organization (their commander is the “Superior General”) that specializes in assassination, subversion and gathering intelligence.  An excellent example of this is the suppression of the Jesuits in 1773.  After 200 years of Jesuit plots in their countries, even <em>Catholic</em> nations were demanding the Pope disband his special forces.  Although Clement XIII attempted to in 1767, he was murdered before he could sign the concordat.  His successor was able to publish a Papal Bull—<em>Dominus ac Redemptor</em> on 21 July 1773—and <em>he</em> languished in extreme pain and even premature decomposition before finally dying of <em>aquetta</em> poisoning.</p>
<p>Were they actually suppressed?  One late author says “No!” and he has built a shockingly brilliant case.  Frederick Tupper Saussy, in his <em>Rulers of Evil</em>, noted that <em>Sun Tzu’s Art of War</em> was published in 1772.  It was “translated” by a Jesuit named Jean Joseph Marie Amiot although neither East nor West had any recollection of the nebulous “Sun Tzu”.  It is far more likely that this book (required reading in America’s war colleges) was a publicizing of a Jesuit strategy so brilliant they would emerge in total control of all world affairs.</p>
<p>As the fourteenth Superior General, Michael Angelo Tamburini, is reputed to have told the French Duc de Brancas, Philippe II, in 1720, “See, my lord, from this room—from this room I govern not only Paris, but China: not only China, but the whole world, without any one knowing how ‘tis managed.”</p>
<p>It is no coincidence that Father Amiot was Qianlong Emperor Aisin Gioro Hongli’s personal astronomer: “Don’t worry about looking up, my king.  I will tell how the Earth is round.”</p>
<blockquote><p>In Chapter XIII of <em>The Art of War</em>, we learn—</p>
<p>The Use of Spies</p>
<p>&#8230;what enables the wise sovereign and the good general to strike and conquer, and achieve things beyond the reach of ordinary men, is foreknowledge. &#8230;</p>
<p>6. Knowledge of the enemy’s dispositions can only be obtained from other men.</p>
<p>7. Hence the use of spies, of whom there are five classes:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">(1) Local spies;<br />
(2) inward spies;<br />
(3) converted spies;<br />
(4) doomed spies;<br />
(5) surviving spies.</p>
<p>8. When these five kinds of spy are all at work, none can discover the secret system. This is called “divine manipulation of the threads.” It is the sovereign’s most precious faculty.</p>
<p>9. Having local spies means employing the services of the inhabitants of a district.</p>
<p>10. Having inward spies, making use of officials of the enemy.</p>
<p>11. Having converted spies, getting hold of the enemy’s spies and using them for our own purposes.</p>
<p>12. Having doomed spies, doing certain things openly for purposes of deception, and allowing our spies to know of them and report them to the enemy.</p>
<p>13. Surviving spies, finally, are those who bring back news from the enemy’s camp.</p></blockquote>
<p><strong>MEDICI LEARNING</strong></p>
<p>CRI continues to pretend-attack fellow Papal agents like Missler and his Jesuit insurgent friend Hal Lindsey.</p>
<p>For a public Christian, Lindsey’s personal information has been expunged from the internet.  But when you are able to pull anything up it is at direct odds with his stellar moral and ethical reputation.</p>
<p>Hal <a href="http://www.sermonindex.net/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=53766&amp;forum=48">appears to be on</a> his <em>fourth</em> wife.  The book that put him on the “planet”—<span style="color: #000000;"><em>The Late, Great Planet Earth</em></span>—<a href="http://archive.constantcontact.com/fs086/1103027403968/archive/1110927800047.html">was actually written</a> by a Lesbian, radial Left activist and United Church of Christ “minister” <a href="http://d3n8a8pro7vhmx.cloudfront.net/unitedchurchofchrist/legacy_url/13172/FV-Carlson.pdf?1418439447">Carole Carkeet Carlson</a> (she also wrote <a href="http://archive.constantcontact.com/fs086/1103027403968/archive/1110927800047.html">several of David Jeremiah’s</a> books for him, too, but <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carole_C._Carlson">don’t ask Wikipedia who she is</a>).  If you want to know where Hal’s heart is, just follow his daughters&#8230;<a href="http://archive.constantcontact.com/fs086/1103027403968/archive/1106393331410.html">to Jesuit Gonzaga University</a>.</p>
<p>Hanegraaff’s own personal life is also invisible across the vast internet, outside of his being born in the Netherlands and having twelve children with his wife Kathy.</p>
<p>A “Google” search of “hank hanegraaff netherlands catholic” lists the entire first page (or subsequent pages for that matter) completely devoid of anything negative.</p>

<p>It sure helps to have friends in extremely powerful places.</p>
<p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hank_Hanegraaff#Personal_life">His Wikipedia entry</a> says volumes because it says nothing—</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>Personal life</strong></p>
<p>Hanegraaff was born in the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netherlands">Netherlands</a> and raised in the United States since childhood. He and his wife Kathy have twelve children.  They lived in Southern California<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hank_Hanegraaff#cite_note-12"><sup>[12]</sup></a> but are now living in <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlotte,_North_Carolina">Charlotte, North Carolina</a>.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hank_Hanegraaff#cite_note-bioequip-1"><sup>[1]</sup></a></p></blockquote>
<p>Having <em>twelve</em> children is an astounding number of offspring and, certainly, a family plan that fits very much in line with Catholic doctrine.</p>
<p>If you follow the Wikipedia footnote, it takes you right to the Christian Research Institute!  —Certainly an objective, critical source, there.</p>
<p>A blog connected to alternative media investigative journalist Anthony J. Hilder <a href="http://www.freeworldfilmworks.com/dov-hankbio.htm">claims that Kathy is</a> Hanegraaff’s <em>second</em> wife and he has a daughter by his first!  Indeed, Hendrick has been a busy man.</p>
<p>Although Wikipedia doesn’t have much to say about Hanegraaff, it does have <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_Catholicism_in_the_Netherlands">an interesting article</a> on Dutch Catholicism.</p>
<blockquote><p>The <strong>Roman Catholic Church in the Netherlands</strong> (<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dutch_language">Dutch</a>: <em>rooms-katholiek kerkgenootschap in Nederland (RKK)</em>), is part of the worldwide <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_Catholic_Church">Catholic Church</a>, under the spiritual leadership of the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pope">Pope</a>, Dutch <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conference_of_Bishops">Conference of Bishops</a>, and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curia">curia</a> in <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rome">Rome</a>.  The Metropolitan <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_Catholic_Archdiocese_of_Utrecht#Roman_Catholic_archbishops_after_Restoration_of_the_Episcopal_Hierarchy">Archbishop of Utrecht</a>, currently <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Willem_Jacobus_Eijk">Willem Jacobus Eijk</a>, is <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primate_(bishop)">Primate (bishop)</a> of the Netherlands.</p>
<p>Although the number of Catholics in the Netherlands has decreased significantly in recent decades, the Dutch Catholic Church is today the largest religious group in the Netherlands.  Once known as a Protestant country, in 2007 the Netherlands was only 16.8 percent <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dutch_Protestant">Dutch Protestant</a> (down from 60 percent in the early 20th century; defections primarily due to rising <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religious_affiliation">unaffiliation</a>).  There are an estimated 3.992 million Catholics (31 December 2013) in the Netherlands, 23.7 percent of the population<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_Catholicism_in_the_Netherlands#cite_note-6"><sup>[6]</sup></a> down from more than 40 percent in 1970’s.</p></blockquote>
<p>That would put Hanegraaff’s family in midst of a burgeoning boom for Rome; perhaps eager to be sent on a mission to America or at least providing a very appealing background for Hendrick to be chosen for use after he got here.</p>
<p>Hanegraaff employs a powerful Jesuit tactic when arguing; having memorized vast portions of Scripture, he can throw out copious amounts in debate whether they’re related to the topic or not and the immediate reaction of any Christian is to be humbled by the reference of God’s Word.</p>
<p>For a “Bible Answer Man” Hanegraaff’s secret past is a dark one.  He has been accused of plagiarizing D. James Kennedy’s 1970 book <em>Evangelism Explosion</em> for his 1987 book <a href="http://www.freeworldfilmworks.com/dov-hankpl.htm"><em>Personal Witness Training</em></a>, and Kennedy was a close friend.</p>
<p>CRI is based in Rancho Santa Margarita, California and there are some interesting articles about Hanegraaff in the Los Angeles Times.</p>
<p>For instance, Hanegraaff took over the Bible Answer Man from Dr. Walter Martin but after Walter’s death, the Martin family began to show public displeasure with Hanegraaff’s decisions—</p>
<blockquote><p>Relatives of the late Walter Martin, founder of the Christian Research Institute, based in Rancho Santa Margarita, contend that Hank Hanegraaff has departed from the organization’s mission of debunking unusual religious claims.  And they are demanding his resignation.</p>
<p>Hanegraaff, 50, was the handpicked successor to Martin, who retired in 1979.  But in recent years, the Martin family has been troubled by Hanegraaff’s leadership.</p>
<p>After a public rift with Hanegraaff in 1996, Darlene Martin, the widow of Walter Martin, resigned from the institute’s board. Last October, the family sent Hanegraaff a letter detailing objections to his leadership. ~ Elaine Gale, LA Times, 15 April 2000</p></blockquote>
<p>Do you get the feeling that Hank is a bit of an interloper?  Perhaps “insurgent” is a better word.</p>
<p>Doctor Martin’s wife, Darlene confirmed this in a chilling letter to the editor.</p>
<blockquote><p>After reading your article “Casting Stones” (April 15), I am writing to clarify several issues.</p>
<p>First, my husband, Walter Martin, never “handpicked” anyone to succeed him at Christian Research Institute and “The Bible Answer Man” radio program.</p>
<p>This claim was handed to me by someone I thought I could trust as I approached the lectern at my husband’s memorial service.</p>
<p>I read it for the first time—aloud—while standing in front of 1,500 people.  It took me completely by surprise and put me in a very awkward position.  I wish to take this opportunity now to apologize for allowing this statement to stand for so many years.</p>
<p>At the time of my husband’s death, I believed Hank Hanegraaff was a man God could mold into a strong Christian leader, one who could play a positive role in leading CRI.  I supported him loyally for six years before I came to see he was not the man I believed him to be.</p>
<p>Secondly, one of our family’s main objections to Hanegraaff’s continued leadership is his mistreatment of fellow Christians.  He has left a trail of wounded people behind him since the takeover of CRI in 1989.  The testimonies against him include those who are his “right-hand” people, people who worked closely with him.</p>
<p>Hanegraaff has called repeatedly for accountability in other Christian leaders and should be held accountable himself.</p>
<p>DARLENE MARTIN, San Juan Capistrano</p>

<p>Hendrick Hanegraaff wasn’t acting like a very good Christian but he sure does act like an excellent Jesuit.</p>
<p><strong>BANKSTERS’ RULE</strong></p>
<p>Since the suppression of the Templars (the first usury bankers, founders of modern banking) in 1307, the Papists have learned to never allow their own faces/names to be placed upon their machinations—<em>especially</em> their criminal financial exercises.  Instead they hide behind scapegoats and their number one favorite targets are the Jews.</p>
<p>Sadly, they’ve always found Jews interested only in self-aggrandizement, willing to be enriched and targeted in the process, or even malignant Jews who knowingly give their own race a bad name because they are true Luciferians.</p>
<p>The Bank of Italy was launched by Amadeo Peter Giannini in California.  After it’s shocking success, Americans began to get angry with both Rome and Italian immigrants.</p>
<p>The name was changed to “Bank of <em>America</em>” (just like the Jesuit magazine is “<a href="http://americamagazine.org/">America magazine</a>”).  Giannini used his money to found 20th Century Fox but put two Jews up front: Darryl Zanuck and Joseph Schenck.  Zanuck and Schenck immediately produced a movie about the Rothschild banking dynasty called <em>The House of Rothschild</em> which was so effective in stirring hatred against Jews <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_House_of_Rothschild#Reception">it was used in Nazi propaganda</a>.  Were Zanuck and Schenck really that self-loathing or were they merely Jewish faces behind a Papal plot?</p>
<p><strong>SWARMS OF LOCUSTS</strong></p>
<p>In his 2002 book <em>Swarms of Locusts</em> (pp. 116-119), Michael Bunker has a lengthy section on Hank.</p>
<blockquote><p>Hundreds of thousands of “Christians” listen to Hank Hanegraaff, specifically because he claims to have the answers when it comes to Christian doctrine. &#8230;</p>
<p>In CRI’s statement entitled “What Think Ye of Rome? (part 2)” on Catholicism, CRI states that Roman Catholicism only “compromises” the biblical doctrines of justification, the sufficiency of Christ’s atonement, the authority of the Bible, and total depravity!  CRI accuses the other cults of DENYING these doctrines, but allow that the Catholics only “compromise” them. How can that be?  How can TOTAL DEPRAVITY be “compromised” but not denied?  Does CRI have a problem understanding the word TOTAL or the word DEPRAVITY?  How can the doctrines of justification and the sufficiency of Christ’s atonement on the Cross by “compromised” without denying them?</p>
<p>CRI states that:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">“&#8230;no matter how theologically deviant Catholicism might be ‑ even if in some respects apostate ‑ it certainly does possess a structural or foundational orthodoxy, reflected in its adherence to the ancient ecumenical creeds &#8230;” (ibid, CRI)</p>
<p>In a fundraising letter dated 6/7/95, Hanegraaff stated that any obstacles between Protestants and Catholics should not stand in the way of cooperation in areas where we share mutual interests and concerns.  Sounds like Chuck Colson’s, “Evangelicals and Catholics Together” to me.</p>
<p>Hanegraaff is also a self-proclaimed Charismatic.  He was ordained by Chuck Smith’s Calvary Chapel:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">“Despite Hanegraaff’s 1993 anti-charismatic book, Christianity in Crisis, CRI is not to be trusted when dealing with the charismatics either.  In an interview printed in the 5/93 Charisma magazine, Hanegraaff admitted that he himself is a charismatic and that more than half of the CRI staff are charismatics as well!  He said, ‘Spiritual gifts are not an issue at CRI.  We have never made a single anti-charismatic statement on our show.’” (Biblical Discernment Ministries, article on Hank Hanegraaff, revised 3/98) &#8230;</p>
<p>It is easy enough to trace the Jesuitical fingerprint back from Hank Hanegraaff to Ignatius of Loyola himself.  Hanegraaff is the product of Calvary Chapel, which is the product of the Neo-Pentacostal/Charismatic movement, which is the product of the Pentacostal movement, which is the product of the Ignatian/Arminians John Wesley and Charles Finney, who are the product of Jacobus Arminius, who is the product of Luis de Molina, who is the product of Ignatius of Loyola.</p>
<p>Do you wonder why Hanegraaff vociferously denies that the Catholic Church is HARLOT of Romans 17, and that Rome is the city that sits on “seven mountains”?</p>
<p>“Rome has not changed its heretical character&#8230;  If Hank Hanegraaff wants to look upon Rome with some favor and refuse to look upon it as the great anti-christian religious harlot that it is, that is his prerogative, but he is deceiving his listeners when he claims that old-fashioned Protestant and Baptist views on this matter are ‘extremist’ or unscholarly.” (David W. Cloud, 2000, <em>Identifying the Whore</em>)</p>
<p>Can you see why the last days Great Deception is considered GREAT?  When the armies of Jesuitical evangelism swarm the globe, they have a veritable buffet of “Catholic-Light” theology to offer.  Whether a new “convert” chooses a more austere, formalistic institution to attend, or a more emotional Charismatic church to frequent ‑ he will be thoroughly indoctrinated in Arminian theology in short order.</p></blockquote>
<p>When it comes to the official CRI position on the Catholic Church, Michael Bunker isn’t exaggerating; <a href="http://www.equip.org/perspectives/is-the-roman-catholic-church-a-cult/">it’s downright cozy</a>—</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>IS THE CATHOLIC CHURCH A CULT?- A Mixed Bag</strong></p>
<p>While Protestants continue to disagree over the issue, CRI firmly maintains that Roman Catholicism is a religious system which includes both orthodox biblical Christianity and elements of unbiblical or “cultic” doctrine and practice.  In other words, we recognize that Roman Catholicism historically has affirmed the essential teachings of the Bible, while also teaching doctrines which are inconsistent with that affirmation and which seriously compromise the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ.  We acknowledge in Roman Catholicism the presence of many genuine brothers and sisters in the Lord, while also recognizing that many of those within Roman Catholicism worldwide appear to be lost.</p></blockquote>
<p>“Is Roman Catholicism a Cult” is <em>not</em> the most important or the easiest issue to prove (which is why it’s the one CRI addressed).  But even when cornered by callers to his radio show on Catholic doctrine that <em>is</em> questionable, he attacks their sources and dodges the issue.  I used a <a href="http://www.blogtalkradio.com/johnnycirucci/2016/01/01/resistance-rising-059-exposedhank-hanegraaff-the-papal-answer-man">short clip on my show Resistance Rising</a> and it’s quite clear who Hank works for.</p>

<p>CRI is fully aware of powerful accusations that they serve Rome; the issue is avoided with the usual Christian-speak that’s as soothing as the stare of Kaa the snake from Jungle Book.</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>IS THE CATHOLIC CHURCH A CULT?- To Speak the Truth</strong></p>
<p>We take this stand fully aware that many are going to criticize us for it. In fact, Catholics will take issue with us because we are critical of many of their teachings.  Protestants label us because we don’t strongly criticize Roman Catholicism.  In fact, there have been some Protestants that have even accused CRI of being Jesuit-controlled!  Well, our concern, is not to please men, but to speak the truth in love.  Obviously we are not in any way controlled by the Roman Catholic church&#8230;</p></blockquote>
<p>Obviously.</p>

<p><strong>LETIGIOUS LECHERY</strong></p>
<p>For the “Bible Answer Man”, Hanegraaff isn’t too keen on obeying Biblical restrictions on lawsuits—</p>
<blockquote><p>Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unrighteous, and not before the saints?  Do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world will be judged by you, are you unworthy to judge the smallest matters?  Do you not know that we shall judge angels?  How much more, things that pertain to this life?</p>
<p>If then you have judgments concerning things pertaining to this life, do you appoint those who are least esteemed by the church to judge?  I say this to your shame.</p>
<p>Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you, not even one, who will be able to judge between his brethren?  But brother goes to law against brother, and that before unbelievers!</p>
<p>Now therefore, it is already an utter failure for you that you go to law against one another.  Why do you not rather accept wrong?  Why do you not rather <em>let yourselves</em> be cheated?  No, you yourselves do wrong and cheat, and <em>you do</em> these things <em>to your</em> brethren!</p>
<p style="text-align: right;">~ I Corinthians 6:1-8, New King James Version</p>
</blockquote>
<hr />
<blockquote><p>A best-selling Christian author and radio evangelist known as the “Bible Answer Man” has filed a defamation lawsuit against a longtime critic who had accused him of being under investigation for mail fraud.</p>
<p>Controversy surrounding Hank Hanegraaff’s Rancho Santa Margarita-based Christian Research Institute arose earlier this year after he sent out an urgent fundraising letter, saying that a “bizarre error” by postal workers caused donations to be thrown away.</p>
<p>Critic and former Christian Research Institute employee Bill Alnor, a journalism professor at Texas A&amp;M University-Kingsville, posted a story on his online magazine, the Christian Sentinel, saying that Hanegraaff was the focus of a federal mail-fraud investigation.</p>
<p>According to Hanegraaff, that was never true. Citing Alnor’s “escalating personal attacks,” he filed suit this week in Orange County Superior Court because, he said, Alnor’s allegations have “crossed the line.”  He is seeking unspecified damages. ~ <a href="http://articles.latimes.com/2005/apr/02/local/me-bibleman2"><em>Evangelist Sues Critic Over Charge</em></a>, Kimi Yoshino, LA Times, 2 April 2005</p></blockquote>
<p>It’s not the first time someone has accused Hank Hanegraaff of illicit or illegal behavior.  In fact, previous accusations rather shockingly include criminal behavior worthy of a full law enforcement investigation—</p>
<blockquote><p>Christian Research Institute’s Hank Hanegraaff had been accused of financial fraud and other criminal activities.  A lawsuit was filed (“wrongful termination suit”) on March 7, 1994, in Orange County Superior Court, California.  The suit alleged that Hendrik (Hank) Hanegraaff, president of CRI, was guilty of numerous ethical lapses, financial theft, tax fraud, and a shocking list of other criminal activities and deceptive practices.  The plaintiffs also charged CRI and its president and officers with violation of the federal racketeering act, defined as a criminal conspiracy or a “combination.” ~ <a href="http://www.rapidnet.com/~jbeard/bdm/Psychology/cri/law.htm">Brad Sparks, Biblical Discernment Ministries</a>, 22 April 1996</p></blockquote>
<p>Amazingly, Hanegraaff was only investigated by a religious insider group and not the FBI.</p>
<blockquote><p>After complaints from former employees, a Southern California evangelist who calls himself a theological watchdog for Christians worldwide has been chastised for his ministry’s financial practices.</p>
<p>Officials with the national Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability conducted an audit that has resulted in what they called a “significant reimbursement” in June to the Christian Research Institute, a ministry run by Christian author and radio personality Hank Hanegraaff.</p>
<p>Neither the council nor Hanegraaff, known on the radio as the “Bible Answer Man,” would say how much money was paid back to the institute or by whom. Council officials said the ministry cooperated fully with the audit.</p>
<p>But a group of former employees called the audit a whitewash and made its complaints public by taking the story to the magazine Christianity Today. ~ <a href="http://articles.latimes.com/2003/aug/17/local/me-watchdog17"><em>Audit’s Lesson Was “Painful” for Evangelist</em></a>, William Lobdell, LA Times, 17 August 2003</p></blockquote>
<p>After this clean bill of health, perhaps we can call Hanegraaff the Teflon Don of Christian media!</p>
<p>Some accusations against Hanegraaff never make it to the forefront thanks to Christians who do try to live by what Scripture says about such things but that never stopped Hank from attacking them anyway&#8230;even when they mentored him like the late Dr. D. James Kennedy—</p>
<blockquote><p>Hank Hanegraaff is president of the Christian Research Institute, an organization located in southern California that specializes in reviewing the major doctrines of various “cults” that profess an identity with “Christianity.”  Hanegraaff is the host of a radio program, called <em>The Bible Answer Man.</em>  The program is broadcast daily throughout the United States and Canada.</p>
<p>Currently, however, the “Answer Man” is under pressure for some “answers” relative to his own ethics.  And this is not the first time the gentleman has been in legal trouble.  See: “CRI – Hank Hanegraaff Lawsuit”.</p>
<p>Dr. James Kennedy is “Pastor” for the Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Kennedy is widely known for his own radio and television ministry, during which he enunciates strong positions relative to certain moral and social issues.  For example, he vigorously opposes abortion, and he courageously exposes the fallacies of the theory of evolution.</p>
<p>For some years Kennedy and Hanegraaff were associates and close friends.  It seems that Kennedy was significantly responsible for training the “Answer Man” for the position the latter now holds with the Research Institute.  Currently, though, the two are at serious odds.</p>
<p>Recently, Hanegraaff, via his radio broadcast, rebuked Kennedy for some statements the minister had made relative to “astrology.”  On the other hand, Dr. Kennedy is charging that Hanegraaff has flagrantly plagiarized his writings.  Supposedly, the offense is so serious that a lawsuit would be a viable recourse were it not for Kennedy’s scruples against such a drastic action. ~ <a href="https://www.christiancourier.com/articles/379-hank-hanegraaff-and-the-christian-research-institute"><em>Hank Hanegraaff and the “Christian Research Institute”</em></a>, Wayne Jackson, the Christian Courier</p></blockquote>
<p>And, despite being a lightning-rod for controversy (or perhaps because of it) Hanegraaff sure seems to have some high-powered friends.</p>
<p><strong>JESUIT CHLOROFORM</strong></p>
<p>Since the beginning of Christianity, Believers have understood Rome to be the 4<sup>th</sup> and Final Beast of Daniel, the Dragon of Revelation.  As I noted in my book, this was something the Pope’s Special Forces—the Jesuits—worked overtime to fix:</p>
<blockquote><p>With Rome so clearly depicted as the 4th and final Beast of both Daniel and Revelation, Jesuits needed to disconnect Christians from that interpretation and they used Preterism and Futurism to do it.</p>
<p>Preterism is the idea that most of prophecy has already taken place.  It was concocted by a Jesuit. …</p>
<p>Preterism wasn’t accepted by large groups of Protestants and an alternative interpretation of the End Times was put forth.</p>
<p>Futurism is more appealing in that it acknowledges that much of prophecy is yet future but it distracts from the 4th Beast and paints the anti-Christ as a man who suddenly appears just before the Tribulation and who stands alone, apart from any organization or system.</p>
<p>It, too, was fabricated by a Jesuit. ~ <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Illuminati-Unmasked-Everything-about-World/dp/1506156290"><em><strong>Illuminati Unmasked</strong></em></a>, pp. 185, 186</p></blockquote>
<p>If that weren’t enough, the Jesuits contrived a Pre-Tribulation Rapture to insure any Christian who had second thoughts would rest assured that they would be beamed out before any trouble started.</p>
<p>Sadly, Scripture proves <a href="https://johnnycirucci.com/the-rapture-isnt-coming-for-you-but-these-things-are/">that is not the case</a>.</p>
<p>Every single mainstream sect of “Protestant” Christianity teaches these Jesuit doctrines as if they’ve always existed with the exception of some stalwart Seventh Day Adventists.  <a href="http://christianitybeliefs.org/end-times-deceptions/jesuit-end-times-antichrist-deception/">A little digging shows</a> that Jesuit-influenced Protestant preachers re-wrote 1800 years of eschatology, erasing Rome from our understanding.</p>
<p>One of the reasons they walk in lockstep is the culture created by wealthy fiction writers like Tim LaHaye.  His Futurist/Dispensationalist Rapture series “Left Behind” is so big it now has talent like <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2467046/">Nicolas Cage starring</a> in the latest batch of movies.</p>
<p>Can you remember the last time you saw a movie depicting the Vatican as secretly ruling the entire world through the banks, militaries and intelligence agencies?  How about a movie that showed any controversy regarding Rome?</p>
<p>Well we already know why; just ask Daryl Zanuck.</p>
<p>But the Jesuits never leave good people without a false outlet.  In fact, channeling anger and frustration is what they count on; part of the Hegelian Dialectic of thesis, antithesis, synthesis.</p>
<p>And they take great pleasure in using the good names and resources of their enemies to do it.  Let’s return to Jean Joseph Amiot again—I’m sorry&#8230;I mean “Sun Tzu”:</p>
<blockquote><p>II Waging War</p>
<p>&#8230; a wise general makes a point of foraging on the enemy.  One cartload of the enemy’s provisions is equivalent to twenty of one’s own, and likewise a single picul of his provender is equivalent to twenty from one’s own store.</p></blockquote>
<p>One of the great Protestant martyrs was an Englishman named William Tyndale.  Tyndale bravely spoke out against Papal injustices and the crowning glory of his efforts were the breaking of the restrictions of the Council of Trent (which forbade the printing of Scripture unless expressly approved by a Vatican official) and the printing of Bibles in English.  For that, Tyndale was condemned to be burned at the stake.  In an unusual show of “mercy”, he was strangled first.  Foxe’s Book of Martyrs has volumes on Protestants who didn’t receive the same “mercy”.</p>
<p>Who is it that publishes Tim LaHaye’s Jesuit Chloroform?  “Tyndale House”.</p>
<p>Sensing a glaring monotony in their Futurist fare, “Tyndale” brought in a “true Protestant” to offer Christians a different point of view.  Opposite LaHaye’s Pre-Tribulation Jesuit Futurism, Tyndale published Jesuit Preterist fiction written by our very own Hank Hanegraaff.</p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5;">Although LaHaye is making hay about his “betrayal”, he still receives the lion’s share of attention&#8230;and money.</span></p>
<blockquote><p>Tim LaHaye, coauthor (with Jerry Jenkins) of the Left Behind series, is publicly airing his displeasure with his publisher.  Tyndale House is selling <em>The Last Disciple</em>, a novel with a distinctly different take on the Book of Revelation than that of the Left Behind series.  LaHaye says he feels betrayed and told <em>The Dallas Morning News</em>, “They are going to take the money we made for them and promote this nonsense.”</p>
<p><em>The Last Disciple</em> was coauthored by Hank Hanegraaff and Sigmund Brouwer, and teaches that most prophecies in Revelation have already been fulfilled.  The Left Behind series, however, is grounded in a premillennial, dispensationalist view of the end times, which includes a pre-Tribulation Rapture.  “I guess you would say I am disappointed, perplexed, and confused,” LaHaye told <em>Christianity Today</em>.</p>
<p>Ron Beers, Tyndale’s senior vice president and publisher, said his company wants to promote healthy dialogue on eschatology.  Beers said, “We haven’t come up with a consensus on end-times issues.”</p>
<p>LaHaye is continuing the Left Behind series with Tyndale, having agreed with Jenkins to produce three more books. LaHaye also signed a lucrative deal with Bantam Dell, a division of Random House, to write a four-book biblical adventure series, with <em>Babylon Rising</em> being the first installment.  LaHaye said press reports that the deal was worth $45 million were exaggerated.  “It is less than 60 percent of that amount,” LaHaye told CT. ~ <a href="http://www.christianitytoday.com/ct/2005/february/12.27.html"><em>LaHaye’s Tribulation</em></a>, Jim Jones, Christianity Today, 20 January 2005</p></blockquote>
<p>Don’t worry, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Babylon_Rising">LaHaye’s <em>Babylon Rising</em> series</a> steers well clear of connecting the dots between Rome and the first rebellion empire of Babylon&#8230;but that’s why you have me.</p>
<p><strong>MISSION ACCOMPLISHED</strong></p>
<p>Perhaps the most disturbing of all are the rotten fruits of Hanegraaff’s work: Protestants doing the exact opposite of what Christ told them.</p>
<blockquote><p>And I heard another voice from Heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. ~ Revelation 18:4</p></blockquote>
<hr />
<blockquote><p>I have been a Catholic now for 4 years.  I was raised in the Nazarene Church.  I wouldn’t say our family was overtly anti-Catholic but I always heard comparisons between our Church and the Catholic Church and how Catholics were wrong&#8230;</p>
<p>My long discovery started when I met my future wife in college.  Before I married her I went to church with her and quickly realized that Catholics did not worship Mary.  While their service (the mass) was alien, I didn’t feel that uncomfortable going to church with her.  In college, I had already moved away from the fundamentalist Nazarene faith and adopted more of a generic “mere” Christianity approach to faith (i.e. CS Lewis).  Regardless, when I got married, I told her I would never become Catholic and my wife told me she would never become Protestant.  We just agreed to disagree. (My wife proved to me that practicing Catholics were indeed Christians. Prior to meeting her most Catholics I knew didn’t really live their faith.)  We considered each other to be Christians and that was good enough.  I agreed to get married in the Catholic Church. After we were married we went to the Catholic Church most of the time.  In fact, I went with my wife for 22 years and never had any motivation to become Catholic. &#8230;</p>
<p>When my daughter received her first communion in 1999, I started to think about investigating the church.  Protestants cannot receive communion and thought it would be good to receive communion as a family.  Unfortunately my schedule made it impossible to research the church at that time.  Later I heard Protestant Hank Hanegraaff (The Bible Answer Man) on the radio say that the Catholic Church was a true church but a church with “issues”.  I decided that I would investigate what the Church taught and if the Church was a “true church” I would consider joining&#8230; ~ <a href="http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/religion/1873356/posts"><em>12 Reasons I Joined the Catholic Church</em></a>, Tim Cooper, Triumph of Truth, 29 July 2007</p></blockquote>
<p>For a “Protestant” “Bible Answer Man”, Hank Hanegraaff sure is doing great work for the Beast that crucified Christ and burned alive tens of thousands of His devoted Believers.</p>

<p><strong>UPDATE 12 April 2017, 10:13 AM, EST:</strong></p>
<p>Hanegraaff has made it official.</p>
<p>Three days ago (9 April, 2017) on “Palm Sunday”, Hanegraaff publicly submitted himself to the pagan rite of “Chrismation” at Saint Nektarios Greek Orthodox Church in Charlotte, North Carolina.</p>

<blockquote><p><em>“What astounding news,” said Rod Dreher, an Orthodox Christian and author of the New York Times best-selling book <strong>The Benedict Option</strong>, in an interview with The Christian Post Monday.</em></p>
<p><em>“Many evangelicals seek the early church; well here it is, in Orthodoxy,” he continued.</em></p>
<p><em>“I am sure some will be scandalized by Hannegraaf’s</em> [sic]<em> conversion but I hope at least some will wonder how someone as knowledgeable about the Bible as Hank could convert to Orthodoxy, and go to a Divine Liturgy to taste and see what it’s like.”</em> ~ <a href="http://www.christianpost.com/news/bible-answer-man-hank-hannegraaf-leaves-evangelicalism-joins-greek-orthodox-church-180035/">The Christian Post</a></p></blockquote>
<p>Actually, it’s just the opposite: Hanegraaff was chosen from the beginning as an agent of disinformation who could twist and abuse Scripture to serve the Great Whore drunk on the blood of the Saints—but Dreher (and the “Christian Post”) would certain know about such agendas.  Dreher’s just-published book is a siren’s call for right-minded Christians to believe they are served by joining themselves to the very entity who tortured them horrendously not 500 years ago.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The premise of my book, <em><a href="https://johnnycirucci.com/illuminati-unmasked/">Illuminati Unmasked</a></em>, is not an easy one to swallow.</p>
<p>America has been infiltrated by emissaries of the anti-Christ, the Whore who wields the power of Mystery Babylon, since her inception.</p>
<p>They have repeatedly weakend, attacked and subverted what made America great—the brilliance of her Constitution and the moral, disciplined Protestant Work Ethic of her stout Middle Class—at every turn.</p>
<p>She has used assassination, psychological operations, murder, mayhem and disinformation.</p>
<p>She has co-opted every single foundation of power in America: every critical political position, the judiciary, the media, entertainment, the military, banking and (worst of all) America’s treasonous, out-of-control Intelligence apparatus.</p>
<p>As <a href="https://johnnycirucci.com/illuminati-unmasked/">my book explains</a> via 2,000 citations: the Carroll family gave America the lie of “religious tolerance” that has killed our culture and they instituted the epicenter of Papal control over Washington DC—Jesuit Georgetown University; the Surratt family were the Catholic assassins behind the Lincoln assassination, the Dulles family were behind the importation of Nazism to the U.S., the quagmires of Cuba and Vietnam and the vicious slaughter and broad-daylight coup of the Kennedy assassination.</p>
<p>Communism was a curse invented by the Jesuits via their “Reduction” settlements in South America. They chose as their puppet German Jew Karl Marx while under <a href="http://www.biography.com/people/karl-marx-9401219">their care in Trier</a>. They used it to wage war against their hated enemies, the Romanovs, who had <a href="http://archive.thetablet.co.uk/article/18th-april-1992/48/can-russians-be-catholics">evicted the Jesuits in 1820</a>. A Jesuit priest by the name of Iosif Vissarionovich Dzhugashvili <a href="http://one-evil.org/content/people_20c_stalin.html">was chosen from Georgia</a> to turn Russia into a totalitarian nightmare. He would later change his name to Joseph Stalin.</p>
<p>They have carefully played both Russians and Americans against each other ever since, cashing in (literally) on the resulting bloodshed. They used their infiltrators and subversives in America to counter the Nazi-given technological advances with self-destructive leadership and policy decisions (e.g. Kennedy threatened resolution to Vietnam and was eliminated).</p>
<p>The Soviet Union collapsed, but rather than allow a new climate of peace and co-operation to ensue, tremendous discord has been instilled. Organs like the European Union and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization have been used to increase the “Strategy of Containment” dreamed up by Papal agents like Zbigniew Brzezinski—<a href="http://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2013/11/the-world-according-to-zbigniew-brzezinski-100354.html#.VQBl8tLF-So">thought by Russian Intelligence</a> to have been behind the election of Polish Cardinal Karol Józef Wojtyła to the Papacy to become “Pope John Paul II”.</p>
<p>A literal Crusade continues to target Orthodox Russia on her very doorstep utilizing a CIA/Nazi/Catholic influence in Slavic Ukraine, the birthplace of both nations.</p>
<p>The Orthodox Church is heavily infiltrated with Jesuits and Jesuit agents like “<a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/zionget">Brother Nathanael</a>”. It is the Left Leg of the terrible statue the Prophet Daniel saw in Nebuchadnezzar’s dream, with Rome being the Right Leg. It is almost as hampered by humanistic and pagan religious traditions as Rome is. But through it, a mighty thing has happened; the good Russian people are living their Christian values and this does not sit well with the Luciferian Elite that runs and rules the West (through the Vatican).</p>
<p>If you haven’t read my book, let me give you a reason to: his name is Colonel Ihor Hordiychuk.</p>
<p>Hordiychuk is an “officer of the Main Command Center of the General Staff of Ukraine”, prepared for that position <a href="http://ihorhordiychuk.com/">at the United States Army War College</a> in Carlisle, Pennsylvania.</p>
<p>As the <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2015/02/02/world/us-taking-a-fresh-look-at-arming-kiev-forces.html?_r=0">media pretends to inform you</a> of the “debate” whether or not the traitors in the United States government should fuel the conflagration in Ukraine by supplying weapons, uniformed American soldiers are <em>already there</em> in Ukraine. They are slyly labeled as “advisors” lest any American citizen become outraged over their military becoming needlessly involved in a conflict that will only harm them.</p>
<p>As they poured in, <a href="http://www.mlive.com/prnewswire/index.ssf?/mlive/story/?catSetID=&amp;catID=&amp;nrid=215271901&amp;page=2">Colonel Hordiychuk was there</a> to greet them as the “Head of the Ukrainian International Military Cooperation Department”.</p>
<p>At the Battle of Savur-Mohyla, Hordiychuk received a grievous wound to the back of his head during a mortar attack. According <a href="http://ihorhordiychuk.com/battle">to a web site promoting Hordiychuk</a> as a great hero of the Crusade against Russia in Ukraine, regular Russian paratroopers followed the indirect fire. Somehow, they failed to live up to their reputation for eating babies and raping the livestock, and humanely handed this extremely valuable prisoner back over to the Ukrainian military (but only because they believed he wasn’t going to make it).</p>
<p>Colonel Hordiychuk was immediately taken to a Ukrainian hospital where he was <a href="http://www.president.gov.ua/en/news/31567.html">personally decorated by Chocolate</a> mogul and billionaire oligarch, President Petro Poroshenko who, according to an official U.S. <a href="https://wikileaks.org/plusd/cables/06KIEV1706_a.html">cable released by Wikileaks</a>, was a Washington “inside man” at least since 2006.</p>
<p>Apparently, Colonel Hordiychuk needed more extensive care and no expense was spared by the new Jesuit Pope’s puppet government in America. Hordiychuk was taken directly to Walter Reed, in Mary-land (the <a href="http://mdroots.thinkport.org/library/georgecalvert.asp">Catholic colony insinuated through</a> George Calvert, Lord Baltimore).</p>

<p>How did he rate this kind of care? —He’s a dedicated Polish-speaking Catholic!</p>
<p>In fact, during his convalescence in Mary-land, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=932906310076590&amp;id=543185792381979">he was taken all the way</a> to Ohio for mass at <a href="http://standrewucc.org/">St. Andrew Ukrainian Catholic Church</a>.</p>

<p>Have you met Ashton Carter?</p>
<p>He’s the man “Communist muslim” Barack Obama chose to replace Chuck Hagel as the United States Secretary of Defense. <a href="http://www.sjc.ox.ac.uk/167-7652/Ashton-Carter.html">He was educated at St. John’s</a>, Oxford, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_John's_College,_Oxford">the <em>Counter-Reformation College</em></a>.</p>
<p>Chuck Hagel is “Episcopalian” (Catholic Lite). But, apparently, Hagel was Catholic enough to <em><a href="https://sfs.georgetown.edu/georgetown-chuck-hagel-nominated-secretary-defense">teach at Jesuit Georgetown</a></em>.</p>
<p>Hagel took over for Leon Panetta. Panetta shocked everyone when “Communist muslim” Barack Obama resurrected him from the Clinton graveyard to be <em>both</em> Director of the CIA <em>and</em> Secretary of Defense.</p>
<p>Panetta was <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leon_Panetta#Early_life.2C_education.2C_and_military_service">educated at Santa Clara</a>, the “<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santa_Clara_University">Jesuit College of the Silicon Valley</a>”.</p>
<p>For a Communist muslim Barack sure does like Jesuit-trained Catholics all around him. Why, even his Vice President is a Catholic who <a href="http://www.buzzfeed.com/evanmcsan/joe-biden-defends-pope-francis-on-economics-as-a-practicing#.uoK0dv0yj">runs to defend Jesuit</a> Pope Francis when he shocks people with radical Leftist sentiments.</p>
<p>I’m starting to get very unpopular amongst people I thought were on my side.</p>
