By the Blood of the Lamb Where Have All of the Protestants Gone? Yesterday, I visited a Catholic group just long enough to witness a young lady post one of the now several YouTube videos circulating the web. The video, shows a mass held in the Vatican; wherein the high level priest prays to Lucifer, using his name over and over. She was shocked, appalled, and wanted to know that her beloved church would never lead her down the wrong trail. Responses flooded in, reminding her that lucifer , from the Latin Vulgate can be translated to morning star, the same title claimed by the LORD in Revelation. Revelation 22:16 KJV I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star. More than one stated that Lucifer was a title that once belonged to the fallen arch angel of the same name; but that he lost that title when he fell from Heaven. The assumption that was given was that Christ then took the title. Others believed it to still be the name of the father of lies; however, the priest had to say it because there was no other way to call Jesus Christ the Morning Star in Latin without calling him Lucifer. At the end of all of those posts, the poor women was quite relieved. She agreed that the video must have been put on YouTube by a dastardly Protestant who is bent on spreading lies about her church. Such a relief that she no longer has to be alarmed when she hears someone in her congregation pray to Lucifer. In fact, she might just start her own prayers off that way. Here is the rendering of the word taken from the Blue Letter Bible. Outline of Biblical Usage Lucifer = light-bearer shining one, morning star, Lucifer of the king of Babylon and Satan (fig.) (TWOT) Helel describing the king of Babylon KJV Translation Count — Total: 1x The KJV translates Strongs H1966 in the following manner: Lucifer (1x). Gesenius Hebrew-Chaldee Lexicon H1966 The primary meaning is light bearer. Lucifer was described as a beautiful angel whose very being contained musical instruments (Eze 28:13, 14). He was adorned with precious jewels. He was called, the anointed cherub that covereth. My guess is that he was the angel that covered the throne of God, probably making it possible for the other angels to approach. The glory of God would have shown through him, making music and creating such a tremendously beautiful array of lights. The light he bore though, was not his own. Isaiah 14:12-15 KJV How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! [13] For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: [14] I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. [15] Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit. Yes, the passage does address the king of Babylon. There are several places in Gods word where an actual geographically focused title is given to a spiritual monarch. That circles us back around to the Vatican. According to the extensive research by Alexander Hislop, in his book, The Two Babylons Rome was called new Babylon during and after the time of Christ. The Bishop of Rome, at that time, was the high priest of the mystery religions of Babylon; perpetuating the worship of the mystery religions handed down from the time of Nimrod; although Alexandria Egypt still remained the hub of the mystery schools. It was Caesar who maintained that he was a god and sat on the throne of a world empire that originated with the kingdom of Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon. Part of the job of the high priest and his Bacchus priests was to encourage the masses to see Caesar as god and to worship him as such. According to Foxes Book of Martyrs, the Aryans of Alexandria greatly influenced the Christianity that Constantine assimilated into the government run church. Yet persecution of those who held on to the traditions of the Disciples persisted; therefore, those who believe their salvation was between themselves and God, were mercilessly killed. Fast forward to today. The final kingdom of the great image that Daniel saw still contains the iron of the Roman empire. We have a soon coming world leader and the worship of the Antichrist being orchestrated by a world religious leader who will organize a one world church. Its the same two offices. The word of God is very clear about the identity of who withholds these mysteries of the iniquities of Babylon in preservation for the coming of Antichrist; at which time, control of the worlds governments will be handed over. Revelation 17:3-6, 8-9, 12, 15-16, 18 KJV So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. [4] And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: [5] And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH . [6] And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration. [8] The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is. [9] And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth. [12] And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast. [15] And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues. [16] And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire. [18] And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth. Where have all of the Protestants gone? I am not a Protestant. Im a Baptist. Even Martin Luther advocated the long held tradition of killing Ana Baptists. Nevertheless, it seems like any criticism of the Vatican is considered anathema. Why is everyone concerned about offending the institution responsible for the cold blooded slaughter of millions of Christians and non-Christians over time, and the outlawing of reading Gods word. It really doesnt take much research to find out that since the Knights Templar became the first international bankers, every reserve Bank, every international bank, every monetary fund was created for the purpose of funneling money to the Vatican. Both Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Jackson can be credited for chasing off the bankers coming from the Templar crown bank of England. So the Bible is correct when it describes the international control of merchandize that Mystery Babylon enjoys. Revelation 18:10-13 KJV Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come. [11] And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more: [12] The merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble, [13] And cinnamon, and odours, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls of men. As far as for the word Lucifer, it is a name, not a title. Its primary definition is the bearer of light. The Latin may connect it with morning star, but Latin was created well after Hebrew; and in the Hebrew he is not called morning star. He is called Lucifer. The name Jesus means savior, but dont count on me calling you Jesus if you save me from being run over. When Christ uses the term Morning Star, it is a title, but it did not belong to Satan, ever. The Masoretic texts were correct in keeping Lucifer, Lucifer, son of the morning and Christ Jesus, the Bright and Morning Star. In all of the posts that I read, not one person questioned the scriptural bankruptcy of listening to a rote, ritualistic, impersonal prayer. If I wanted to pray to my savior in Latin and call him my Morning Star, I would use the actual Latin words that translate to morning star; which is mane sidus. Matthew 23:14 KJV Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation. If someone can show me that the holy Roman Church now believes salvation is not of works; that it is by grace through faith. That someone can have a personal relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ and there is no other mediator. That nothing but the blood of the Lamb of God can take away sin. That when Jesus Christ said, It is finished, that he meant it. If someone can show me that the Pope believes these things, than Ill be the first to admit Im wrong in my assertions. But I have a feeling I wont be apologizing soon. There are many precious Catholics that are truly born again. Many more are deceived by the presumptuous morality that only serves to feed the apathy towards their lost condition. For everyone that is in her or about to be in her, I pray that you will take heed to Gods warning. Revelation 18:1-9 KJV And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory. [2] And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird. [3] For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies. [4] 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. [5] For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities. [6] Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double. [7] How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow. [8] Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her. [9] And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning, One of the prayers that Ive heard says, Lucifer, Christ is your son. If there seems to be an increase in prayers to Lucifer, it may be a transition of things to come. That may be the sole reason why a language that no people group uses, is still held onto with a tight grip. No one will enter the New World Order... unless he or she will make a pledge to worship Lucifer. No one will enter the New Age unless he will take a Luciferian Initiation.- David Spangler Director of Planetary Initiative United Nations
