Of course the people were not told the danger of statues and images. How could they possibly know that all religious statues and objects of veneration, including the CRUCIFIX, have demon SPIRITS in them and add not in blessing but in cursing the one who honours them.
No wonder God commanded His people to destroy them.
'The graven images of their gods, shall ye burn with fire... for it is an abomination to the Lord thy God.'
Notice the mustard seed started small, grew into a big tree and had birds nesting in its branches.
These birds spoken of in this passage refer to terrible demonic religious oppression.
Referred to as Babylon by the prophet, this 'weed counterfeit church system' is referred to like this, in reference to its ultimate destruction.
'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.' *Ref.25. (Emphasis added.)
I observed a sign on a wall of a shop which sums up the next chapter.
'As I sat musing one day, sad and lonely,
A voice came to me from the gloom,
Smile, cheer up and be happy,
Things could be worse!
So I smiled, did cheer up and was happy,
And behold things did get worse.'
(iv) THYATIRA - THE FOURTH CHURCH AGE. Started about 300 AD.
From this period on, many of these EXTRAs became official weed church policy and were officially adopted.
Therefore from the 3rd century to the Reformation in the 16th Century, the openly EVIL time of this major religious deception began.
It was so gradual, people didn't notice the ROT SETTING IN.
Good News - note very well.
- From the first seed church, filled with genuine committed clean living believers, it was God's eternal plan that these dear persecuted folk would one day be gathered together and make up a BRIDE for His dear Son the Lord Jesus Christ.
The counterfeit weed group mixed fully in worldly affairs, finally moved to include:
At that point, God called it the Whore, or the Harlot or the Prostitute System.
Never let anyone ever say to you again, that the true church comes out of Rome. You know better now.
RECAP: In 1986, May and I stood in Jerusalem, where I said:
'The true Church started here.'
In the same year we stood in the square outside St Peter's in Rome, where I said:
'The false Church started here.'
There is no argument. We are dealing unemotionally with pure history at this point.
Regarding THYATIRA in our coded secret, we see a mention of the dominating 'prostitute' system rising up at this period of history.
'Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel which calleth herself a prophetess to teach, and to seduce my servants to commit fornication and to eat things sacrificed to idols.' *Ref. 26.
'Behold I will cast her into a bed and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds.' *Ref 27
I have been absolutely shocked as I have read the historical record of this false weed system, built on 'extras' which have no relevance at all to the beautiful godly system founded by our Lord Jesus Christ.
Weed Prostitute group's EXTRAS made official. (These are approximate dates.)
| 320 AD | Wax candles. |
| 375 AD | Veneration of angels and dead saints. |
| 394 AD | The Mass as a daily celebration adopted. |
| 431 AD | The worship of Mary and the term 'Mother of God' adopted. |
| 500 AD | Priests dressing differently from the Laity (ordinary people). This began years before this, unofficially, of course. |
| 593 AD | Gregory brings in the fake doctrine of Purgatory. There is no such place. |
| 600 AD | The Latin language, for prayer and worship - not understood by many. |
| 600 AD | Prayers directed to Mary. |
| 610 AD | The title 'Pope' given to Bishop of Rome by a wicked emperor named Phocas. |
| 709 AD | Kissing of the Pope's feet. |
| 750 AD | Temporal power of the Popes began. Involvement in politics. |
| 788 AD | Worship of images and relics. Idolatry official at this point. This had been unofficially going on for years, previous to this date. |
| 850 AD | Holy Water with pinch of salt, blessed by priest. |
| 890 AD | Veneration of St Joseph. |
| 965 AD | The baptism of bells. Instituted by Pope John XIV. |
| 995 AD | Canonization of dead saints, by Pope John XV. (The truth is every believer in Christ is a saint.) |
| 998 AD | Fasting on Fridays. |
| 11th Century | The Mass was gradually developed into a continuously enacted blasphemous sacrifice. The Scriptures clearly teach that Christ was offered ONCE FOR ALL. Hebrews 10:12. |
| 1079 | Pope Hildebrand, Bonniface the VII - The celibacy of the Priesthood. This is a doctrine of devils. 1 Tim. 4:1-3. |
| 1090 | The Rosary. Copied from Hindus and Muslim people. |
| 1184 | Inquisition of heretics. |
| 1190 | The sale of Indulgences - A licence to sin, on a pay as you go basis. It was this evil that brought about the reformation. |
| 1215 | Transubstantiation - Turning the bread and wine supposedly into the literal body and blood of the Lord. Direct paganism. |
| 1220 | The adoration of the wafer (host). Pope Honorius gave the decree. |
| 1229 | Bible reading by ordinary people forbidden. |
| 1287 | The scapular introduced. Fetishism claiming this brown cloth with Mary's picture on, worn next to the skin will save one from evil. |
| 1414 | Communion cup forbidden to the ordinary people, which is in direct contradiction of Jesus' wish. He gave it to His own disciples to drink. |
Remember 593 - Purgatory - Now again in 1439, it is proclaimed as a dogma of faith. What a damnable lie, and money making mechanism, playing on people's sorrow and fear for their dead loved ones.
$1000 cash reward is offered to any person by this author, who can find one verse in Holy Scripture about purgatory.
Paul spoke to a young believer Timothy, using these words regarding 'Salvation'.
'And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.' *Ref 28
The seven sacraments of the weed prostitute system take the poor individual directly away from God's written and revealed method of salvation.
Hey, it is getting very serious at this stage, you will agree.
Sacraments of the weed prostitute system.
(a) Baptism (wrongly administered to babies instead of believing
older persons. First of all the child is exorcised with oil on
its head and salt in its mouth to drive out demons.)
= Stage 1, away from the Holy Scriptures and faith in Christ
Jesus.
(b) Confirmation - Links the child or adherent to the system.
= Stage 2, away from the Holy Scriptures and faith in Christ
Jesus.
(c) Marriage - A thoroughly recommended practice, however
as a weed sacrament, binds the couple further to the system
and leads them further away from the Holy Scriptures and
faith in Christ Jesus.
(d) Mass and the Holy Eucharist - A blasphemous deception,
where a weed prostitute priest pretends to change a man
made wafer into the literal body of the Lord Jesus and the
wine, into his blood.
Not only blasphemous, but also ridiculous. A mouse may then get at God and eat Him up after the service if the priest is not careful.
This major deception makes another god out of an element and a demon spirit of course can use any other god to act as a stepping stone for oppression.
The poor victim now moves a step further away from the Holy
Scriptures and faith in Christ Jesus.
(e) Penance or Confession (which is commenced early in life)
to a priest of the weed prostitute system, puts a tremendous
physical strain on a man who is not permitted by the system
to marry and thus fulfill his natural physical desires.
No wonder, the history of the system is filled with depravity and strange practices. It is not only unfair to the priest but leads the individual away from the Holy Scriptures and faith in Christ Jesus, not only to save but to also forgive.
Jesus is the High Priest - Go to Him only.
'My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.' *Ref.29.
This weed system leads away from the Holy Scriptures and
faith in Christ Jesus.
(f) Holy Orders, only for men.
(g) Final Unction (Last rites). Here is a poor soul breathing
his or her last gasp, and in comes you know who with his
black book and religious artifacts.
Does he read the Holy Scriptures speaking of salvation through Christ to the dying person?
No - He continues on with his religious mumbo-jumbo set out for him by the weed prostitute system, and the unfortunate person misses out on Jesus for about the seventh time.
When I examined all the effort that our Lord Jesus Christ put in, to save us from our sins, set us apart as His own holy children, and give us assurance of everlasting life, I find it all very confusing.
I believe the term used today is: CATCH 22.
As a preacher who holds large public rallies, I may feel obliged
not to state all these 'facts' in the interests of:
LOVE - FELLOWSHIP and UNITY
and simply sit back and watch people go to hell, with no clear
voice of warning.
People have reasoned with me about my two previous books, taking issue particularly with my observations on religious matters.
I am not a naturally vindictive person, like many I know, who go around bashing others. Ask my family.
On the other hand, when I do state these observations I am accused of bringing a spirit of disunity amongst the brethren.
I am not doing this as the two groups have absolutely nothing in common.
'Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers, for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness, and what communion hath light with darkness, and what concord hath Christ with Belial, and what part hath he that believeth with an infidel. And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols, for ye are the temple of the living God.' *Ref.30.
The truth, I bring here, spoken in the spirit of love need not cause any distress.
Lancing a boil usually brings relief.
Weed prostitute people, listen.
Seed bride people, listen.
Our common ground is only the grace and mercy of God and His plan of salvation through the Lord Jesus Christ.
To those who's eyes have been opened as to the uselessness of the EXTRAS, this word comes with new power.
'Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord and touch not the unclean thing and I will receive you.
And I will be a Father to you and ye shall be my sons and daughters saith the Lord Almighty.' *Ref.31.
The hidden code in Matthew Chapter 13, gives the appropriate parable at this 4th stage as being the leaven (or yeast.)
'....the Kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven which a woman took and hid in three measures of flour until the whole was leavened.' *Ref.32.
We have seen that through these terrible dark ages, the weed prostitute system usurped the place of the real true Christianity yet the real has always continued on, holding their gatherings large and small, and honouring the name of Christ who bought them with His precious blood.
| 1508 | The Ave Maria commenced and was completed by Pope Sixtus V at the end of the 16th Century. |
| 1545 | Council of Trent declared tradition as equal authority with the Bible. Actually, each destroys the other. |
| 1546 | Apochryphal Books added to the scriptures. |
| 1560 | The official creed of Pope Pius IV was imposed. |
| 1854 | The Immaculate Conception of the Virgin Mary proclaimed by Pope Pius IX in that year in spite of the fact that even Mary confessed to needing a Saviour. Luke 1:46-47. |
| 1870 | Pope Pius IX proclaimed Papal Infallibility. |
This is dangerous ground to walk on. Any man trying this type of thing would do well to consider his personal meeting with the King of Kings, the real Judge.
I have in front of me at time of writing, a list of disgusting practices committed by the Popes in a period of history called: 'The Rule of the Harlots', which we will deal with later in the book. All these dates are from 904 onwards (for any serious student of history). There was a full page on this subject in the Daily Mirror, Sydney Australia, dated 24th November 1986, under the headings:
'Intrigue - Immorality - Bickering - Marriages - Inquisition.'
I identified this article with a thought I read in a book entitled:
'Out of the Labyrinth' by L. H. Lehmann; where he points out that this weed prostitute system 'leaves you at death, not good enough for heaven, yet not bad enough for hell.'
I think that sums it up. How many of its adherents or members can confidently say,
I am saved now by the blood of Jesus?
I have as a present possession, everlasting life?
I don't need any EXTRAS?
Christ has made me FREE?
HALLELUJAH!
(v) SARDIS - THE FIFTH CHURCH AGE. Started about 1483.
The corruption was unbelievable at this stage in history, yet there were still people of principle around both inside and outside this weed prostitute system.
Our hero comes right from within the system which leads me to make my next STATEMENT:
In actuality some of those dear ones inside this ultra-polluted organization have - more dedication, love and desire for the Lord, than those outside it.
I remember a speaker was once asked why it was that those who belonged to, or attended some of these orthodox religious groups, suddenly lit up with the fire of God, would become more dynamic than those who had been brought up in and had become familiar with seed bride teachings.
The answer was given:
'If you have a measure of life, any more life given is not such a big deal. When you are in death and surrounded by death, any light and life at all presented to you is of momentous importance.'
It is for this reason, I believe that in these last days, prophetically speaking, the Lord will pick many of those who previously had roots in this weed prostitute organisation, enlighten them, cleanse them, save them, replant their feet on the correct foundation - Christ, and use them in a very special and supernatural way.
I regret that it is sadly possible that those of us who have it apparently all together in the field of doctrine, sometimes lack in the field of reality, fire and love.
In the Sardis age we read:
'Thou hast a few names, even in Sardis who have not defiled their garments and they shall walk with me in white for they are worthy.' *Ref.33.
The man who found the buried treasure, in the coded history of Matthew 13 was none other than a monk in the weed prostitute religious system.
He watched things go from bad to worse and became so distraught within, it burned like a fire in his bones as he wept over the failures of the 'system' and sought out God's truth, just as some 'brave' readers of this book are doing now.
His name? MARTIN LUTHER 1483-1546
Luther saw the excesses all around him, and began to examine the system's beliefs.
He initially discovered 95 errors and nailed them to the church door at Wittenberg. A brave man indeed. We need more with parchments, hammers and nails in our day.
'And how are you Brother Martin?' He answered, pointing to his head. 'I know it all here.' Pointing to his mouth 'I can speak it all from here'. Pointing to his heart 'I have nothing here.'
Are you the reader feeling similar thoughts at this time?
'The just shall live by faith.' *Ref.34.
In the light of this verse, the REFORMATION started.
It was seen that the EXTRAS, (and there are many of them) were superfluous - no longer necessary.
Only Jesus and His work fully completed at Calvary had any real significance.
A Buried Treasure - Here is the secret code revealed once more. 'Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a treasure hid in a field, which when a man hath found, he hideth and for the joy thereof, goeth and selleth all that he hath and buyeth that field.' *Ref 35
Martin Luther did exactly that. Knowing from experience the fact that the weed prostitute group HIDES the SIMPLE TRUE GOSPEL of SALVATION from its people, Luther set out to remedy the situation.
The simple gospel of salvation was on the way back. The seed bride group could now come out of hiding where they had been for centuries.
Stage 1. Like Lazarus, at Jesus' command, they came back to life.
Stage 2. The EXTRAS now needed to be shed.
Luther gave up his:
Why?
He had found a treasure, unknown to about 1 billion weed prostitute adherents, even today.
'For by grace are ye saved, through faith, and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God. Not of works, lest any man should boast.' *Ref.36.
Notice at this point, that I as the author of this book, have not tried to persuade any person to leave the weed prostitute system.
God's word encourages people to do so, but I don't, as the warning is clear.
In pulling up the weeds, I may inadvertantly pull up some of the good seed people at the same time. All I do here, is present the history of the thing, and leave the rest to the Lord.
'The servants said unto him. Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?
But he said, Nay, lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root also up the wheat with them.' *Ref 37.
Now in the closing days of this era, a great uniting ecumenical movement will bring many groups back under the umbrella of the weed prostitute system. They will unite. It is predicted that at this time an angel is involved in tying them up in bundles, thus preparing them for judgement.
'Let them both grow together until the harvest and at the time of the harvest, I will say to the reapers, Gather ye first together the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat into my barn.' *Ref.38.
Persecution really started at this point in history, from Luther onwards.
The weed prostitute system viciously attacked the seed bride wheat group, as is recorded in such books as 'Fox's Book of Martyrs.'
During a period of 1500 years, the Inquisition and other persecutions have been responsible for the deaths of:
68 million seed bride wheat believers, at the hands of the satanically inspired, weed prostitute false religious system (these figures are openly revealed in a book entitled 'The Martyrology' in the Vatican Library), and still some cry UNITY, UNITY at any cost.
Can I ignore the blood of 68 million beloved believers in Christ crying from the ground?
Do I seek revenge on their behalf? - NO.
Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath, for it is written, 'Vengeance is mine, I will repay, saith the Lord.' *Ref 39
Near the end of 1988, we went to visit my sister Jacqueline, and her husband Don and family near Oxford, England.
At that time, I fulfilled an early ambition. I stood on the cross in the middle of an Oxford street, where two early Christian brothers of mine, gave their lives for Christ, at the hands of the weed prostitute system.
Date: Oxford England, 16th October, 1555.
These two men, Ridley and Latimer, refused to admit the blasphemy of the doctrine of transubstantiation (the bread and wine being turned into the literal body and blood of Christ.)
They were tied on either side of a stake and Latimer spoke first.
'Be of good comfort Master Ridley and play the man. We shall this day light such a candle, by God's grace, in England, as I trust shall never be put out.'
Ridley saw the flames rushing upwards and cried out 'Lord receive my spirit' and Latimer on the far side of the stake cried 'Oh Father of heaven, receive my soul.'
The flames did their job well. Within seconds these two gracious men stood in the presence of the one who said:
'He who liveth and believeth in Me shall never die.' *Ref 40.
Ridley however, suffered very badly before he died. The fire burned his lower portion before the upper torso, causing him to cry out:
'Let the fire come unto me - I cannot burn.'
Horrific is the key word. The weed prostitute group did this, and believe me, the Lord states that he has not forgotten.
The persecutions under this terrible weed group, were far far worse than anything secular Rome meted out to the early believers.
This religious devil driving the prostitute weed system is described by the prophet as being 'drunken with the blood of the saints.'
How many? 68 million.
Others Picked Up the Spirit of Murder from Religion.
Later some so-called protestants, got involved in the murder syndrome killing some hundreds of persons who didn't see eye to eye with them.
Later, Calvin, Knox, John Wesley and others were used to restore some semblance of truth to the world on into the 18th century.
Bible reading became popular amongst the ordinary people. Massive revival meetings were held and tens of thousands were saved and added to the family of God.
Luther's treasure, the Gospel of salvation did its work well. Christ took his rightful place again.
