....What I'm going to tell you is what I learned in secret briefings in the Vatican when I was a Jesuit priest, under oath and induction. A Jesuit
cardinal named Augustine Bea showed us how desperately the Roman Catholics wanted Jerusalem at the end of the third century. Because of its religious
history and its strategic location, the Holy City was considered a priceless treasure. A scheme had to be developed to make Jerusalem a Roman Catholic
city.
The great untapped source of manpower that could do this job was the children of Ishmael. The poor Arabs fell victim to one of the most clever plans
ever devised by the powers of darkness.
Early Christians went everywhere with the gospel setting up small churches, but they met heavy opposition. Both the Jews and the Roman government
persecuted the believers in Christ to stop their spread.
But the Jews rebelled against Rome, and in 70 AD, Roman armies under General Titus smashed Jerusalem and destroyed the great Jewish temple which was
the heart of Jewish worship in fulfillment of Christ's prophecy in Matthew 24:2. On this holy placed today where the temple once stood, the Dome of
the Rock Mosque stands as Islam's second most holy place.
Sweeping changes were in the wind. Corruption, apathy, greed, cruelty, perversion and rebellion were eating at the Roman Empire, and it was ready to
collapse. The persecution against Christians was useless as they continued to lay down their lives for the gospel of Christ.
The only way Satan could stop this thrust was to create a counterfeit "Christian" religion to destroy the work of God. The solution was in Rome.
Their religion had come from ancient Babylon and all it needed was a face-lift. This didn't happen overnight, but began in the writings of the
"early church fathers."
It was through their writings that a new religion would take shape. The statue of Jupiter in Rome was eventually called St. Peter, and the statue of
Venus was changed to the Virgin Mary. The site chosen for its headquarters was on one of the seven hills called "Vaticanus," the place of diving
serpent where the Satanic temple of Janus stood.
The great counterfeit religion was Roman Catholicism, called "Mystery, Babylon the Great, the Mother of Harlots and Abominations of the Earth."
Revelation 17:5 She was raised up to block the gospel, slaughter the believers in Christ, establish religions, create wars and make the nations drunk
with the wine of her fornication as we will see......"
I think when looking at "the bigger picture",it does indeed make sense!
