With all the amazingly ignorant and blasphemous remarks that flow out of the mouth of the one called “Pope” Francis I am flabbergasted that anyone gives him any credibility. In fact, I am appalled that he continues to be exalted and adored by the masses. I can’t for the life of me figure out why he has not been dethroned, tarred and feathered and run out of town. It is a sad commentary on the level of stupidity we have reached as a society.
As a society we have been hypnotized by media, mesmerized by technology, lulled to sleep by white noise, had our consciousness changed by binaural beats, our senses dulled by the drugs of our choice, our consciences seared by the sins we commit daily and the imaginations we allow in our heads. We have been invaded by demonic spirits that have taken over our hearts and minds. We are a society that is desperately in need of a Savior, but sadly we don’t even recognize it.
Whether or not Francis is THE ANTICHRIST, he is obviously A Anti-CHRIST. He makes no secret of it. He comes right out and says things that are so Blasphemous they apparently go right over our heads. He is clever and refers to Christ and Communion, and the Holy Spirit… and yet HE DENIES that the BLOOD of JESUS CHRIST is the only way to find RIGHT STANDING WITH GOD, He denies that Jesus Christ is King of Kings, Lord of Lords and our ONLY MEDIATOR between God and man.
Everything that comes out his mouth reveals that he is not a man of GOD let alone the VICOR of Christ. He does not speak for GOD. He is a tool of the Devil and a mouthpiece for the United Nations and the New World Order. I believe he is a man possessed of demonic entities. I do mean entities, perhaps even legion. Those who follow him will find themselves in the same predicament.

Pope Francis’s latest comments on climate change are contained in an ‘Apostolic Exhortation’ titled Laudate Deum. It is a follow up to an earlier doom-ridden encyclical letter in 2015 when he referred to CO2 – a gas the Supreme Pontiff emits with every breath – as highly polluting. The latest letter is full of emotional errors, unsubstantiated scientific opinions and a cold condescension for the growing number of scientists who dispute the political narrative of a climate emergency. At one point these scientists are said to bring up “allegedly solid scientific facts”.
Francis is on very shaky ground with his contention that humans somehow cause submarine earthquakes. Even more nonsensical is his suggestion that the human-caused seaquakes are leading to communities being swept away. As the Daily Sceptic recently noted, the Holy Grail of climate alarmism is to link earthquakes to humans driving their cars. Sadly to date the suggestion is only to be found at the whacky end of climate fearmongering. A recent article in the Conversation noted “evidence” that the loss of surface ice in Scandinavia triggered numerous earthquake events around 7,000-11,000 years ago. Alas, further inquiry showed that the only tectonic plate action was to be found in the circuit boards of a researcher’s computer. Seaquakes would appear to be a new field of climate alarm, suggesting Francis is well ahead of the game on this one.
The Pope is also leading the pack with his contention that melting of the continental ice sheets at the poles will not be reversed for hundreds of years. What melting of the ice sheet in Antarctica Francis is referring to is not immediately clear. Alarmists usually find Antarctica a difficult neighbourhood to run the Thermogeddon narrative. According to Singh and Polvani, warming has been “almost non-existent” for at least 70 years. NASA reports the ice loss is 0.0005% a year. In 2021, the South Pole recorded its coldest winter since records began in 1957. Meanwhile in the Arctic, a small, little publicised, cyclical recovery in sea ice has been underway for over a decade.
At one point in his letter, Francis makes the claim that it is “verifiable that specific climate changes provoked by humanity are notably heightening the probability of extreme phenomena that are increasingly frequent and intense”. Quite how it is possible to verify something that is only probable is not immediately clear, but it seems Francis is referring to the computer model-driven pseudoscience of weather attribution that has grown up in recent years. In fact its popularity is partly in response to the UN-backed Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) currently holding back from directly linking individual weather events to longer term changes in the climate.
Despite all attempts to deny, conceal, gloss over or relativise the issue, continues Francis, the signs of climate change are here and increasingly evident. No one can ignore recent extreme weather events such as droughts, floods and unusual heat, he continues. It is not possible to conceal the correlation of these global climate phenomena and the accelerated increase in greenhouse gas emissions, particularly since the mid-20th century, he argues. As regular readers will know, plenty of scientists do just that, as does the IPCC. According to its latest report, the IPCC states there is “low confidence” that humans influence droughts in most regions, while confidence is generally low in attributing changes in the probability or magnitude of flood events to human influence.
All Francis is doing is joining up the dots of recent weather anomalies and claiming a causal link to long-term climate trends. With global warming having run out of steam over the last 25 years, this practice is in common use in alarmist circles. It is used to promote the collectivist Net Zero narrative, and is profoundly unscientific.
“I feel obliged to make these clarifications, which may appear obvious, because of certain dismissive and scarcely reasonable opinions that I encounter, even within the Catholic Church,” states Francis. In fact the Pope shows no sign, as was his attitude in 2015, of listening to any alternative view – the “allegedly solid scientific data” he seems to find so distasteful. He merely repeats the collapsing and tipping point fearmongering of the green activist lobby. In doing so he does a disservice to a tradition of Church support and patronage to the scientific process through monasteries, funded hospitals, schools and universities. The Catholic Church teaches that faith in God and science are complementary, with the Catechism noting that “methodical research in all branches of knowledge, providing it is carried out in a truly scientific manner and does not override moral laws, can never conflict with the faith, because the things of the world and the things of faith derive from the same God”.
Of course it would take a longer article than this to identify many of the inevitable past conflicts between the Church authorities and some of the findings of science (don’t mention Galileo). So far as the climate story is concerned, scientists are just starting to comprehend the complexities of the non-linear atmosphere. However, it is perhaps not surprising that the Vatican has hitched its influential wagon to current unproven scientific narratives that serve a largely political purpose. In a 2020 encyclical letter, Francis spoke of the possibility of a world authority “equipped with the power to provide for the global common good”. The world Government should be given “real authority in such a way as to provide for the attainment of certain goals”. In this way , there could come about a multilateralism that is not dependent on changing political conditions or the interest of a certain few, and possesses a stable efficacy, he concluded.
Possibly this is papal speak for no more Trump, Farage, Brexit and all those other annoying inconveniences of national democracy.

UNBELIEVABLY, FRANCIS has declared that KLAUS SCHWABB, one of the MOST EVIL men on earth, is more IMPORTANT THAN JESUS!! WHAT?? DO YOU HEAR THIS MAN??? It seems sometimes like we are living in the TWILGHT ZONE.

False Prophet Pope Francis Declares That Klaus Schwab Is ‘More Important’ Than Jesus Christ
Didn’t John Lennon once say something similar about the Beatles? He is dead! Well he said “more popular”, but this false prophet Bastard Pope said “more important”!
There is NO ONE MORE IMPORTANT that The Lord Jesus Christ!!!
By Baxter Dmitry –The world has entered dark and stormy times, according to Pope Francis who says humanity must put its faith in World Economic Forum founder Klaus Schwab who is the man with the plan to restore nature to its position of primacy in the world order.
According to Pope Francis, Klaus Schwab has emerged as a “more important figure” than Jesus Christ in the current era because Jesus wants to save souls, and Schwab understands that we need less souls.
Pope Francis’ comments have caused a storm in the Vatican, but should we really be surprised by his support for Schwab’s Nazi-style eugenics program? As an Agenda Contributor at the WEF, Pope Francis is fluent in blasphemy and is actively working to subvert the church and Christianity in general.
Should we really be surprised that the blasphemous Pope is siding with the globalists?
This is the pope who joined forces with Bill Clinton last month to announce that humanity must be urgently depopulated to save the planet.
And this is the pope who informed his flock that “relationships with Jesus are dangerous and harmful.” Breaking with centuries of Christian tradition, Francis sparked fears that he is an illegitimate pope with a sinister agenda when he told a crowd of 33,000 pilgrims in St. Peter’s Square that “a personal, direct, immediate relationship with Jesus Christ” must be avoided at all costs.
As though that wasn’t disturbing enough, Francis followed up by ordering Christians to stop bringing people from other faiths to Jesus and Christianity.
And then he ordered his lackeys in the Vatican to proclaim that Lucifer is the God of the Catholic Church.
Pope Francis is a Satanist hiding in plain sight.
That’s right, according to Pope Francis’ twisted mind, Lucifer is Jesus Christ’s father and the God of the Catholic Church.
Pope Francis’ inverted version of Christianity is confusing for many, however the picture becomes clear when you understand who the pontiff is really serving.
To quote French presidential candidate Marine Le Pen, Pope Francis is a “globalist bulldog” who is loyal to the New World Order.
WikiLeaks emails taught us that Francis was installed in the Vatican in a globalist coup orchestrated by George Soros, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama.
And the globalist bulldog wasted no time repaying his globalist masters by repeating disturbing globalist rhetoric at every opportunity.
In 2017, Pope Francis called for a “one world government” and “political authority”, arguing that the creation of the one world government is needed to combat issues such as “climate change.”
Speaking with Ecuador’s El Universo newspaper, the Pope said that the United Nations does not have enough power and must be granted full governmental control “for the good of humanity.”
Disturbingly, world religious leaders are also beginning to come together as one to preach from the same hymn sheet, instructing their sheep to accept the components of the New World Order’s one world government.
Now, Pope Francis is actively defying Biblical scripture by working to create a “one world religion.”
First Francis shocked the Christian world by hosting Islamic prayers and Quran recitals in the Vatican.
Christians around the world should visit mosques and praise Allah, according to Pope Francis who led by example on his visit to Istanbul by entering the Blue Mosque, taking off his shoes, facing Mecca, and praising the Muslim god.
Then came the pagan ceremony and brazen idol worship on Vatican grounds.
Somebody needs to remind Francis that the Bible says “You shall have no other gods before me.” This is expressed in Exodus 20:3, Matthew 4:10, Luke 4:8 and elsewhere.
But it’s unlikely Francis would be interested. He is more interested in overruling God’s word and eradicating Christianity in favor of what he calls “Chrislam.”
In case you missed it, world leaders from a diverse collection of communities called for world unity at an inter-religious conference in Kazakhstan last year. According to Francis, “religious pluralism,” which is expressly forbidden in the Bible, is an expression of “the wisdom of God’s will.”
Here is some of the story from the Catholic News Agency:
The interreligious congress in which Pope Francis participated this week in Kazakhstan adopted a declaration calling religious pluralism an expression “of the wisdom of God’s will in creation.”
The 35-point declaration was “adopted by the majority of the delegates” of the Seventh Congress of the Leaders of World and Traditional Religions Sept. 15 in the capital city of Nur-Sultan.
Pope Francis participated in the opening and closing ceremonies of the interreligious summit during his Sept. 13–15 visit to the Central Asian country.
It’s not the first time the pope has encouraged humanity to accept the New World Order and all that it entails.
In 2019, Pope Francis signed a historic covenant with leaders of the world’s major faiths, pushing us much closer to a one-world religion, one of the major goals of the New World Order.
According to the document produced by Pope Francis and published on the Vatican’s official website, all religions must be considered equal, and Islam is as acceptable to God as Christianity.
In reality, the call for global government and one world religion by Pope Francis and other wealthy elites has nothing to do with lifting up impoverished nations or “saving humanity.” Such a government would instead guarantee global wealth inequality, global surveillance of the kind promoted by Klaus Schwab’s WEF, and a world run by the exact corrupt interests who used the pandemic to consolidate wealth and power worldwide.
Is Pope Francis the antichrist?
From the moment that Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio became pope in 2013, “prophecy experts” took to the airwaves, claiming that the new pope is “Peter the Roman,” the fulfillment of the “prophecy of St. Malachy” and that Francis will be the final pope and the end of the world.
According to St. Malachy, an Irish saint who had correctly predicted the past 111 popes ahead of the naming of the 112th pope, “Peter the Roman” would be the antichrist.
Doomsday fans have found ways to link each phrase to a corresponding pope through the centuries. That includes John Paul II, who is associated with phrase No. 110, “From the labor of the sun,” because he was born on the day of a solar eclipse and was entombed on the day of a solar eclipse as well. Benedict XVI, No. 111, is supposedly “glory of the olive” because some members of a branch of the monastic order founded by St. Benedict are known as Olivetans.
Then there’s No. 112. According to St. Malachy: “In the extreme persecution of the Holy Roman Church, there will sit … Peter the Roman, who will nourish the sheep in many tribulations; when they are finished, the city of seven hills will be destroyed, and the dreadful judge will judge his people. The end.”
So how does “Peter the Roman” link to Pope Francis, who was born in Argentina? His parents were Italian immigrants, from Rome, and his birth name contained the name Peter. One theologian, Michael K. Lake, is quoted as saying that “Catholic and evangelical scholars have dreaded this moment for centuries.”
The world is now at a tipping point, with a fierce battle raging for the soul of humanity. The globalists and their technocratic dreams of totalitarian rule threaten to consume humanity and destroy civilisation as we know it.
It’s clear whose side Francis is on. And we haven’t even covered the pedophilia scandal that is rotting the Catholic church from the inside out.
We should keep a very close eye on this Jesuit pope during these pivotal years.

NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS YEAR THAT THE POPE HAS ALIGNED HIMSELF WITH THE AGENDA OF DEPOPULATION. He joined with Bill Clinton along the same lines in September.

Bill Clinton and Pope Francis Call for ‘Urgent Depopulation’ To Save the Planet
Bill Clinton and Pope Francis have joined forces to urge world leaders to pursue human depopulation as a strategy for saving the planet from so-called “global boiling.“
The pope held talks with the former President this week to lay out their plans for meeting the WEF’s “Net Zero” goals.
The public admission that the elite want to depopulate the planet comes after UN Secretary-General Antonio Gutteres recently declared that globalists are now tackling “global boiling” as a matter or urgency.
Slaynews.com reports: During a doom-loaded speech in July, Guterres claimed that the Earth has now become “unbreathable” and “the heat is unbearable.”
The UN chief claims that these alleged conditions on Earth are due to “man-made climate change.”
“The Earth is unbreathable,” Guterres during a speech at the UN headquarters in New York City.
“The heat is unbearable and the level of fossil fuel profits and climate inaction is unacceptable.”
Guterres then unveiled the new narrative of the climate alarmist elite.
“The era of global warming has ended,” Guterres declared.
“The era of global boiling has arrived.”
WATCH:
Stressing the urgency of addressing the climate change “catastrophe,” the pope and ex-POTUS vowed to fight global boiling “before it’s too late.”
“It is time to work together to stop the ecological catastrophe before it’s too late,” the pontiff told Clinton at a meeting of the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI).
“Let us stop while there is still time, please.”
Francis reiterated his intention to release a second document on the “climate catastrophe” later this month.
The move comes eight years after the publication of his encyclical “Laudato Sì” on the same theme.
In late August, Francis said it is time for world leaders to “listen to science and institute a rapid and equitable transition to end the era of fossil fuel.”
It is “absurd to permit the continued exploration and expansion of fossil fuel infrastructures,” he declared in his message for the September 1 Feast of Creation.
“Let us raise our voices to halt this injustice towards the poor and towards our children, who will bear the worst effects of climate change.”
“The unrestrained burning of fossil fuels and the destruction of forests are pushing temperatures higher and leading to massive droughts,” the pope stated.
He claimed that the alleged “catastrophe” is a product of “consumerist greed, fueled by selfish hearts.” The abundance of greed and selfish hearts lies with the Ruling Elite, including Francis.
Francis then suggested communist-like policies to address “climate change.”
“Richer nations have contracted an ‘ecological debt’ that must be paid” to poorer nations, he declared.
“Let us heed our call to stand with the victims of environmental and climate injustice, and to put an end to the senseless war against creation,” he said.

Another outgrowth of the CLIMATE CHANGE AGENDA is the SUNDAY LAW Enforcement that likely will be finalized before 2024. It is not only about bringing the entire Globe under the rule of Rome and the Catholic practice of SUN Worship, but it will also include adherence ot the Roman Catholic Eucharist.

Climate Change and Sunday Law
Copyright © 2020 Jonathan Mukwiri | |
Bible Prophecy helps us understand climate change as the precursor to Sunday law. “And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights” (Luke 21:11). That climate crisis will lead to Sunday law, was predicted: “Men in responsible positions … will urge upon the people the observance of the first day of the week, … they will point to calamities on land and sea – to the storms of wind, the floods, the earthquakes, the destruction by fire – as judgments indicating God’s displeasure because Sunday is not sacredly observed” (Ellen G White, Signs of the Times, January 17, 1884 par. 14).
Linking climate change to Sunday Law is not alarmism. He who calls attention to existing facts does not deserve to be called an alarmist, although it may be a very serious condition which he points out. The physician who candidly gives his patient a truthful statement of his case is not an alarmist. It may be that the symptoms are alarming, yet for all that very likely it is the wisest possible thing to state them frankly to the patient, that, if possible, he may be warned in time. Christ, our Great Physician, was not an alarmist, and took no pessimistic view of the final outcome of all things, yet the twenty-fourth chapter of Matthew contains the skeleton of what must have been a most dramatic narration indeed of events which were, and are, to befall the world.
After God created the earth, He said it was all “very good” (Genesis 1:31) – all the natural forces were in equilibrium with no possibility of breaking forth into disastrous exhibitions. But sin caused the evenly-balanced adjustment of the natural forces to become more disturbed until at last, “the earth was filled with violence” (Genesis 6:11), – the disorder culminated in the flood. Climate change is the result of man corrupting the earth through disobeying the Creator and obeying the “prince of the power of the air” (Ephesians 2:2). In our time, the Club of Rome has done more to publicise climate change dangers.
Club of Rome and climate change publicity
The Club of Rome, founded in 1968, had a goal of giving publicity to the dangers of climate change and to encourage corrective measures (Nicholas Greenwood Onuf, ‘Reports to the Club of Rome’ (1983) 36(1) World Politics 121-146). The Club of Rome first published the dangers of climate change in the 1972 report: “If the present growth trends in world population, industrialization, pollution, food production, and resource depletion continue unchanged, the limits to growth on this planet will be reached sometime within the next one hundred years. The most probable result will be a rather sudden and uncontrollable decline in both population and industrial capacity” (H Donella, L Dennis Meadows, J Meadows, Jorgen Randers, and W William Behrens Ill, The limits of growth: A Report for the Club of Rome’s Project on the Predicament of Mankind (Universe Books 1972) 23).
As corrective measure, the Club identified climate change as the global common enemy against which the world should unite: “In searching for a common enemy against whom we can unite, we came up with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine and the like, would fit the bill. In their totality and their interactions these phenomena do constitute a common threat which must be confronted by everyone together. But in designating these dangers as the enemy, we fall into the trap, which we have already warned readers about, namely mistaking symptoms for causes. All these dangers are caused by human intervention in natural processes, and it is only through changed attitudes and behaviour that they can be overcome. The real enemy then is humanity itself” (Alexander King and Bertrand Schneider, The First Global Revolution: A Report by the Council of the Club of Rome(Orient Longman 1993) 75). That the Club of Rome achieved a goal of publicising climate change is attested by world scientists, to which we turn.
World Scientists Warn of Climate Crisis
According to a study published in the Journal of BioScience (Volume 70, Issue 1, January 2020, Pages 8–12), five scientist authors, endorsed by 11,258 scientists from 153 countries, the world faces “untold suffering due to the climate crisis.” “We declare,” says scientists, “clearly and unequivocally that planet Earth is facing a climate emergency.”
“Profoundly troubling signs from human activities include sustained increases in both human and ruminant livestock populations, per capita meat production, world gross domestic product, global tree cover loss, fossil fuel consumption, the number of air passengers carried, carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, and per capita CO2 emissions”, they say.
“Especially disturbing are concurrent trends in the vital signs of climatic impacts: Three abundant atmospheric GHGs (CO2, methane, and nitrous oxide) continue to increase, as does global surface temperature; Climate change is predicted to greatly affect marine, freshwater, and terrestrial life; these issues highlight the urgent need for action”, they say.
“To secure a sustainable future,” they say, “we need bold and drastic transformations regarding economic and population policies.” “We are encouraged” that “Governmental bodies are making climate emergency declarations; Schoolchildren are striking; Ecocide lawsuits are proceeding in the courts; and Grassroots citizen movements are demanding change”. Indeed, people are demanding change and action, and lawmakers are responding.
Aid agencies have echoed scientists in reporting the scale of the effects of climate change on our planet. According to a 2019 study by the British Charity OxFam, the number of climate-related disasters has tripled in 30 years, causing harm and suffering to communities across the globe. Oxfam’s analysis shows that, on average, 14 million people reported newly displaced by extreme weather disasters each year from 2008 to 2016.
In their 2013 report, showing climate change to be a key factor in disasters, OxFam called upon governments to tackle the politics and power at the heart of the increasing effects of climate change.
Climate change as sign of Christ’s soon coming
Christ tells us what to do when climate disasters begin to happen: “And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh” (Luke 21:28). He says, “Behold, I Come Quickly” (Revelation 22:12). Climate change and increase of calamities such as earthquakes, famines, and pestilences says that He is coming soon, for these were given as signs of the second advent. The spirit of war among nations say that the Lord is coming, for it is when the nations are angry and gathering to battle that the Lord appears. The social and industrial conditions are becoming just such as were predicted of the last days. The growth of a determination in the religious bodies to use civil power to build up the Sunday institution and make void the law of God is fulfilling those scriptures which show that Satan’s wrath will be specially directed against the commandments of God in the days of the remnant (Revelation 12:17).
The sending forth into the world of this booklet and other truth-filled literature containing the present truth, warning the world of the impending conflict in which climate change would lead to Sunday law, is a fulfilling of such scriptures as Revelation 14:6-14, which indicate God’s warning message to the world before Christ appears in the clouds of heaven in flaming fire to reap the harvest of the earth. The Lord is coming; thank God, it is true. His Word tells of the preparation needed, and His grace supplies the need. Let the believing reader receive the Word and rejoice in the “blessed hope” (Titus 2:13).
Satan to use climate change for Sunday law
And now the most casual observer – if he only will – may realise the truth of this which the inspired writer upon this subject years ago put with so much directness in the book, The Great Controversy {GC}:
“Satan works through the elements also to garner his harvest of unprepared souls. He has studied the secrets of the laboratories of nature, and he uses all his power to control the elements as far as God allows. When he was suffered to afflict Job, how quickly flocks and herds, servants, houses, children, were swept away, one trouble succeeding another as in a moment. It is God that shields His creatures and hedges them in from the power of the destroyer. But the Christian world have shown contempt for the law of Jehovah; and the Lord will do just what He has declared that He would – He will withdraw His blessings from the earth and remove His protecting care from those who are rebelling against His law and teaching and forcing others to do the same. Satan has control of all whom God does not especially guard. He will favor and prosper some in order to further his own designs, and he will bring trouble upon others and lead men to believe that it is God who is afflicting them” {GC 589.2}.
“While appearing to the children of men as a great physician who can heal all their maladies, he will bring disease and disaster, until populous cities are reduced to ruin and desolation. Even now he is at work. In accidents and calamities by sea and by land, in great conflagrations, in fierce tornadoes and terrific hailstorms, in tempests, floods, cyclones, tidal waves, and earthquakes, in every place and in a thousand forms, Satan is exercising his power. He sweeps away the ripening harvest, and famine and distress follow. He imparts to the air a deadly taint, and thousands perish by the pestilence. These visitations are to become more and more frequent and disastrous. Destruction will be upon both man and beast. ‘The earth mourneth and fadeth away,’ ‘the haughty people …. do languish. The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant’ Isaiah 24:4, 5” {GC 589.3} – (The Great Controversy).
“And then the great deceiver will persuade men that those who serve God are causing these evils. The class that have provoked the displeasure of Heaven will charge all their troubles upon those whose obedience to God’s commandments is a perpetual reproof to transgressors. It will be declared that men are offending God by the violation of the Sunday sabbath; that this sin has brought calamities which will not cease until Sunday observance shall be strictly enforced; and that those who present the claims of the fourth commandment, thus destroying reverence for Sunday, are troublers of the people, preventing their restoration to divine favor and temporal prosperity. Thus the accusation urged of old against the servant of God will be repeated and upon grounds equally well established: ‘And it came to pass, when Ahab saw Elijah, that Ahab said unto him, Art thou he that troubleth Israel? And he answered, I have not troubled Israel; but thou, and thy father’s house, in that ye have forsaken the commandments of the Lord, and thou hast followed Baalim.’ 1 Kings 18:17, 18. As the wrath of the people shall be excited by false charges, they will pursue a course toward God’s ambassadors very similar to that which apostate Israel pursued toward Elijah” {GC 590.1} – (The Great Controversy).
“The miracle-working power manifested through spiritualism will exert its influence against those who choose to obey God rather than men. Communications from the spirits will declare that God has sent them to convince the rejecters of Sunday of their error, affirming that the laws of the land should be obeyed as the law of God. They will lament the great wickedness in the world and second the testimony of religious teachers that the degraded state of morals is caused by the desecration of Sunday. Great will be the indignation excited against all who refuse to accept their testimony” {GC 590.2} – (The Great Controversy).
“Satan’s policy in this final conflict with God’s people is the same that he employed in the opening of the great controversy in heaven. He professed to be seeking to promote the stability of the divine government, while secretly bending every effort to secure its overthrow. And the very work which he was thus endeavoring to accomplish he charged upon the loyal angels. The same policy of deception has marked the history of the Roman Church. It has professed to act as the vicegerent of Heaven, while seeking to exalt itself above God and to change His law. Under the rule of Rome, those who suffered death for their fidelity to the gospel were denounced as evildoers; they were declared to be in league with Satan; and every possible means was employed to cover them with reproach, to cause them to appear in the eyes of the people and even to themselves as the vilest of criminals. So it will be now. While Satan seeks to destroy those who honor God’s law, he will cause them to be accused as lawbreakers, as men who are dishonoring God and bringing judgments upon the world” {GC 591.1}.
“God never forces the will or the conscience; but Satan’s constant resort – to gain control of those whom he cannot otherwise seduce – is compulsion by cruelty. Through fear or force he endeavors to rule the conscience and to secure homage to himself. To accomplish this, he works through both religious and secular authorities, moving them to the enforcement of human laws in defiance of the law of God” {GC 591.2} – (The Great Controversy).
“Those who honor the Bible Sabbath will be denounced as enemies of law and order, as breaking down the moral restraints of society, causing anarchy and corruption, and calling down the judgments of God upon the earth. Their conscientious scruples will be pronounced obstinacy, stubbornness, and contempt of authority. They will be accused of disaffection toward the government. Ministers who deny the obligation of the divine law will present from the pulpit the duty of yielding obedience to the civil authorities as ordained of God. In legislative halls and courts of justice, commandment keepers will be misrepresented and condemned. A false coloring will be given to their words; the worst construction will be put upon their motives” {GC 592.1} – (The Great Controversy).
“As the Protestant churches reject the clear, Scriptural arguments in defense of God’s law, they will long to silence those whose faith they cannot overthrow by the Bible. Though they blind their own eyes to the fact, they are now adopting a course which will lead to the persecution of those who conscientiously refuse to do what the rest of the Christian world are doing, and acknowledge the claims of the papal sabbath” {GC 592.2}.
“The dignitaries of church and state will unite to bribe, persuade, or compel all classes to honor the Sunday. The lack of divine authority will be supplied by oppressive enactments. Political corruption is destroying love of justice and regard for truth; and even in free America, rulers and legislators, in order to secure public favor, will yield to the popular demand for a law enforcing Sunday observance. Liberty of conscience, which has cost so great a sacrifice, will no longer be respected. In the soon-coming conflict we shall see exemplified the prophet’s words: ‘The dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.’ Revelation 12:17” {GC 592.3} – (The Great Controversy).
Signs of the times and God’s protection
From every side come reports of disaster by sea and land. Not only in the political but in the natural world also, there is increasing commotion and unrest. Terrible catastrophes which, a few years ago, would have furnished talk for many days are now quickly forgotten, because they are followed so quickly by equally serious calamities. Destructive cyclones, volcanic eruptions, deadly plagues, deadly viruses, water and food famines, ruinous strikes, insurrections, massacres and wars, are continually brought before our notice in the daily papers. In the numerous disasters which are now occupying so large a place in earth’s history, crowding ever closer upon each other, God is warning all men of the danger they run in rejecting His care and protection.
We see “upon the earth distress of nations with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring; men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth” (Luke 21:26): because God, who is man’s life and the only shield between him and the malice of Satan, is rejected. Men seek to avoid Him, thinking to find freedom from restraint in forgetting God; but it is life eternal to know Him, and everlasting destruction to be separated from His presence. To the extent that men turn from God they choose death, and if they persist in their choice, they will finally get it.
God would be a protection to all men, from every danger, if they would only be content to dwell with Him. His presence would give them rest and safety. “Because thou hast made the Lord . . . thy habitation; there shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling” (Psalm 91:9-10). Whoever dwells in God has “a peaceable habitation, a sure dwelling-place, a quiet resting place” (Isaiah 31:18). “Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day; nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.” “It shall not come nigh thee” (Psalm 91:5-7). “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof” (Psalm 46:1-3).
Earth’s history is soon to close amid scenes of woe and desolation, such as never have been since there was a nation. After close of probation, the last seven plagues of the wrath of God will be poured upon the impenitent, and mighty earthquakes and mighty hail will complete the work of destruction (Revelation 16). Every one may, if he will, flee from the wrath to come, and find refuge in the Lord. As the blood of the Lamb, sprinkled on the doorposts, saved Israel in Egypt from the visit of the destroying angel, so “now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ” (Eph. 2:13). To all who are thus reconciled to God, He will say, “Come, My people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast. For, behold, the Lord cometh out of His place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity” (Isaiah 26:20-21).
God is permitting evils to come upon the world now in order that men may be impressed with their need of a refuge, lest the last great storm burst suddenly and find them unprepared. Some will turn at His reproof, and to such He says, “Behold, I will pour out My Spirit unto you, I will make known My words unto you.” “Whoso hearkeneth unto Me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.” But those who despise the reproof and will have none of His counsel, He leaves to eat of the fruit of their own way. To them He says, “When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you; then shall they call upon Me but I will not answer; they shall seek Me early, but they shall not find Me; for that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the Lord” (Proverbs 1:27-29).
“Seek ye the Lord while He may be found, call ye upon Him while He is near” (Isaiah 55:6).
Papacy to use climate change for Sunday law
One of the influences behind much of the climate change movement is the 2015 papal encyclical, Laudato Si, which is ostensibly about taking care of our environment. In this encyclical, Laudato Si, there is found a strong recommendation that keeping Sunday as a day of rest and that not working on the Sunday ‘heals our relationship … with the world.’ It says: “Sunday, like the Jewish Sabbath, is meant to be a day which heals our relationships with God, with ourselves, with others and with the world” (Laudato Si, paragraph 237). Presumably no work on Sundays means less burning of fossil fuels and less pollution and less damaging climate change.
In the 2015 papal encyclical letter, Laudato Si, at paragraph 25, the pope outlined the problem of climate change in the following description:
“Climate change is a global problem with grave implications: environmental, social, economic, political and for the distribution of goods. It represents one of the principal challenges facing humanity in our day. Its worst impact will probably be felt by developing countries in coming decades.”
“Many of the poor live in areas particularly affected by phenomena related to warming, and their means of subsistence are largely dependent on natural reserves and ecosystemic services such as agriculture, fishing and forestry. They have no other financial activities or resources which can enable them to adapt to climate change or to face natural disasters, and their access to social services and protection is very limited.” (Laudato Si, para 25).
“There has been a tragic rise in the number of migrants seeking to flee from the growing poverty caused by environmental degradation. They are not recognized by international conventions as refugees; they bear the loss of the lives they have left behind, without enjoying any legal protection whatsoever. Sadly, there is widespread indifference to such suffering, which is even now taking place throughout our world.” (Laudato Si, paragraph 25).
“There is an urgent need to develop policies so that, in the next few years, the emission of carbon dioxide and other highly polluting gases can be drastically reduced, for example, substituting for fossil fuels and developing sources of renewable energy. Worldwide there is minimal access to clean and renewable energy. There is still a need to develop adequate storage technologies.” (ibid).
What is the papal solution to climate change? In the 2015 papal encyclical letter, Laudato Si, at paragraphs 236-237, the pope outlined the solution to the climate change problem. The Eucharist, celebrated on Sunday, provides the solution:
“Thus, the Eucharist is also a source of light and motivation for our concerns for the environment, directing us to be stewards of all creation.” “On Sunday, our participation in the Eucharist has special importance. Sunday, like the Jewish Sabbath, is meant to be a day which heals our relationships with God, with ourselves, with others and with the world.” (Laudato Si, paras 236-237).
The greatest of the seven sacraments is the Holy Eucharist. The Catholic Church teaches that in the Eucharist, Our Lord Jesus Christ, true God and true man, is really present under the appearances of bread and wine. Our Lord is not merely symbolized by the bread and wine; nor is he present only through the faith of those present. Rather, the two material things, bread and wine, are completely changed into the body and blood of Jesus Christ, leaving behind only their sensible appearances. Thus, through the words of consecration spoken by the priest, Jesus, without ceasing to be present in a natural way in heaven, is also present sacramentally, body, blood, soul and divinity, in many places throughout the world. The Eucharist is not only a sacrament but also a sacrifice. In it Jesus, acting through the priest, makes present again in an unbloody manner the sacrifice which he offered once for all by shedding his blood on Calvary. In Holy Communion, by obeying Jesus’ command to eat his flesh and drink his blood, the faithful are also united spiritually with Jesus himself, and they unite their own prayers, works and sufferings to his perfect sacrifice. |
One of the seven sacraments of the Catholic Church, the Eucharist is a ritual in which, according to Catholic theology, bread and wine blessed by a priest really become the body, blood, soul and divinity of Jesus Christ. Such is its central role in Catholicism, it has been called the “fount and apex of the whole Christian life.” In its most basic terms, Catholics receive the really-present Christ in Communion so that they may be Christ in the world. Catholics believe that when one consumes the Eucharist, one is incorporated into Christ and becomes bonded to others who are also part of the body of Christ on Earth. It is not simply a matter of individual belief, but of Church unity and the mission of being Christ in the world. Source |
All over the world, on any given day of the week, Jesus Christ’s body is repeatedly sacrificed. According to the Roman Catholic Church, that’s what happens every time they celebrate the Mass—their version of Communion, or the Lord’s Table.
In The Faith of Millions—a book certified by the Roman Catholic Church to be “free of doctrinal and moral error”—Catholic priest John O’Brien explains what happens during the Mass:
The supposed ability to wield such supernatural power over almighty God is one of the priesthood’s most blasphemous acts. As O’Brien describes it, the priestly office is a position of immense, even ultimate power, as the priest yanks Christ out of His eternal kingdom and hurls Him once again onto the sacrificial altar. The repeated sacrificial process is called transubstantiation, wherein the bread and wine transform into the literal body and blood of Christ. SOURCE |
The author of Hebrews repeatedly states that Christ’s atoning sacrifice was a “once for all” event never to be repeated:
There is simply no way to harmonize the idea of Christ being repeatedly sacrificed when the New Testament clearly spells out the singularity and sufficiency of Christ’s perfect atoning sacrifice. Source |
TITLE: CATHOLIC PRIEST TAUGHT HE CAN COMMAND JESUS CHRIST DOWN FROM HEAVEN AND ONTO THE ALTAR!
Subtitle: When Roman Catholic doctrine states that Jesus Christ must obey the priest and come down from Heaven to go on the altar, this doctrine is identical to Witchcraft! Once again, we have conclusive proof, within Roman Catholic doctrine, that Roman Catholicism is identical — repeat, identical — with Witchcraft. In this instance, the Catholic teaching regarding the power of the priest over supernatural forces (Jesus Christ) is identical to the Witchcraft teaching regarding the power the witch has over supernatural forces [demons]. In both cases, the supernatural being is FORCED to do that which they do not want to do, i.e., to serve the human who has control over him. In other words, the Catholic priest is just a witch dressed in different clothes! Let us first examine Roman Catholic belief. Once again, we are quoting from Roman Catholic sources. The first source to be quoted is from St. Thomas, reprinted in the Catholic book, “Faith of Millions“, John O’Brien, Ph.D., LL.D., 268-269, “nihil obstat” by Rev. T. E. Dillon-Censor Librorum and “imprimatur” by John Francis Noll, D.D. -Bishop of Fort Wayne. ” Power of Consecrating: The supreme power of the priestly office is the power of consecrating. ‘No act is greater,’ says St. Thomas, ‘than the consecration of the body of Christ.’ In this essential phase of the sacred ministry, the power of the priest is not surpassed by that of the bishop, the archbishop, the cardinal or the pope. Indeed it is equal to that of Jesus Christ. For in this role the priest speaks with the voice and the authority of God Himself. WHEN THE PRIEST PRONOUNCES THE TREMENDOUS WORDS OF CONSECRATION, HE REACHES UP INTO HEAVENS, BRINGS CHRIST DOWN FROM HIS THRONE, AND PLACES HIM UPON OUR ALTAR TO BE OFFERED UP AGAIN AS THE VICTIM FOR THE SINS OF MAN.” “It is a power greater than that of monarchs and emperors: it is greater than that of saints and angels, greater than that of Seraphim and Cherubim. Indeed it is greater even than the power of the Virgin Mary. For, while the Blessed Virgin was the human agency by which Christ became incarnate a single time, THE PRIEST BRINGS CHRIST DOWN FROM HEAVEN, AND RENDERS HIM PRESENT ON OUR ALTAR AS THE ETERNAL VICTIM FOR THE SINS OF MAN – NOT ONCE BUT A THOUSAND TIMES! THE PRIEST SPEAKS AND LO! CHRIST THE ETERNAL AND OMNIPOTENT GOD, BOWS HIS HEAD IN HUMBLE OBEDIENCE TO THE PRIEST’S COMMAND.” “Of what sublime dignity is the office of the Christian priest who is thus privileged to act as the ambassador and the vicegerent of Christ on earth! He continues the essential ministry of Christ; he teaches the faithful with the authority of Christ, he pardons the penitent sinner with the power of Christ, he offers up again the same sacrifice of adoration and atonement which Christ offered on Calvary. No wonder that the name which spiritual writers are especially found of applying to the priest is that of ‘alter Christus.‘ FOR THE PRIEST IS AND SHOULD BE ANOTHER CHRIST” (Faith of Millions, John O’Brien, Ph.D., LL.D., 268-269)(“nihil obstat” by Rev. T. E. Dillon-Censor Librorum and “imprimatur” by John Francis Noll, D.D. -Bishop of Fort Wayne). Emphasis added. No greater abomination is possible than the statement, above, detailing the Roman Catholic doctrine concerning the supposed power of the priest during Mass or Communion. We wish to point out that this belief is identical to the belief of a witch!! In Witchcraft, the attraction to a person to learn the arduous and dangerous art of the Craft is the belief that, once the witch speaks the right incantations, and has made the correct physical preparations, a demon must materialize into this dimension and must do the bidding of the witch. Even if he does not want to obey, the demon must obey! Obviously, Jesus Christ would not want to go through the agony of the cross again, with all its shame, pain, and separation from the Father. Therefore, when Jesus supposedly “bows His head” and obeys the priest to come down once again to the altar, He is doing something He really does not want to do. But, He must, because the priest has pronounced the right incantations [the Mass, for example] and He has made the correct physical preparations. Therefore, Jesus must come down to the altar to be sacrificed again. This belief is identical to standard Witchcraft. The only significant difference is that the Witch has to very carefully bring the demon into this dimension, because the demon is going to materialize cursing, spitting, and fighting, whereas Jesus is pictured as coming into our realm in a loving manner. In fact, the Witch has to carefully prepare a 9-foot circle on the ground or the floor, and the Witch must be very careful not to step outside the circle, nor allow any of the members of the coven to do so. If anyone steps outside the circle, they step outside their protection and will suffer instant death at the hands of the demon. The only reason the Catholic priest does not have to stay inside a circle, and does not have to have members of the congregation inside the same circle is that the Catholic practice of Witchcraft is symbolic whereas the Witch’s practice is very real.

“The law of weekly rest forbade work on the seventh day, ‘so that your ox and your donkey may have rest, and the son of your maidservant, and the stranger, may be refreshed’ (Ex 23:12). Rest opens our eyes to the larger picture and gives us renewed sensitivity to the rights of others. And so the day of rest, centred on the Eucharist, sheds it light on the whole week, and motivates us to greater concern for nature and the poor.” (Laudato Si, paras 236-237).
What is the goal of the Papacy in global climate change and the Sunday alliance? Is it not to regain “dominion over the kings of the earth” so they cause all to “receive” Sunday as her “mark” (Revelation 17:18; 13:16)? The inspired writer of the book, The Great Controversy {GC}, many years ago, wrote:
“But Romanism as a system is no more in harmony with the gospel of Christ now than at any former period in her history. The Protestant churches are in great darkness, or they would discern the signs of the times. The Roman Church is far-reaching in her plans and modes of operation. She is employing every device to extend her influence and increase her power in preparation for a fierce and determined conflict to regain control of the world, to re-establish persecution, and to undo all that Protestantism has done. Catholicism is gaining ground upon every side” {GC 565.4}.
And what a close observer and keen student of prophecy see in the papal global climate change and the Sunday alliance is but an illustration of what the Papacy is accomplishing throughout the world.
In the book, The Great Controversy, we are told that “rulers and legislators” will eventually yield to “the popular demand” for a “law enforcing Sunday observance.” In the context of what is happening around the world, we notice that the “popular” climate change movement is making its “demand” that “rulers and legislators” pass environmental laws. At the same time, beneath this same climate change movement is the papal encyclical, Laudato Si, which promotes Sunday observance. It is not coincidence, it is prophecy getting fulfilled before our very eyes.
Nations around the world are already increasingly embracing enacting laws to combat climate change. According to the 2017 update on the trend of global climate change legislation, published by the Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change and the Environment, “In early 2017, there were more than 1,200 laws and policies in the 164 countries represented in this report. This compares with around 60 climate laws in 1997. In the 20 years since the Kyoto Protocol was agreed, the number of climate change laws has increased by over a factor of 20. This translates into a doubling in the stock of climate laws globally every four to five years.” It will not be a great leap for “rulers and legislators” to move from passing environmental laws to national Sunday laws in fulfilment of Revelation 14:9.
Environmental laws are a precursor to Sunday law. Notice: “The Sunday movement is now making its way in darkness. The leaders are concealing the true issue, and many who unite in the movement do not themselves see whither the under-current is tending. Its professions are mild, and apparently Christian; but when it shall speak, it will reveal the spirit of the dragon” (Ellen G White, Review and Herald, December 11, 1888, Art. C., par. 8).
Soon, climate change advocates “will point to calamities on land and sea – to the storms of wind, the floods, the earthquakes, the destruction by fire – as judgments indicating God’s displeasure because Sunday is not sacredly observed. These calamities will increase more and more, one disaster will follow close upon the heels of another” (Ellen G White, Signs of the Times, January 17, 1884 par. 14).
The climate change call for Sunday sacredness is in effect a call to disregard the Sabbath of the Lord. Even in the supposedly goal of saving the planet, making Sunday worship obligatory in contravention of the Sabbath (Saturday), would not be of God, for He says: “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy” (Exodus 20:8). The climate change controversy is really about disregarding the Sabbath of the Lord in honour of the papal institution of Sunday worship.

Eco-Congregation prepared a briefing on what COP26 is and how different people can get involved with their own churches. Over 1,500 churches across the UK are already taking part in Climate Sunday, with hundreds more planning to do so, demonstrating growing climate action by local congregations.
The goal is to leave a lasting legacy of thousands of churches better equipped to address this critical issue as part of their discipleship and mission and to make a significant contribution to civil society efforts to secure adequate national and international action at COP26.
The collective action and commitments from local churches across Great Britain and Ireland will be presented to the UK government at a Nations Climate Sunday Service with Glasgow Churches Together, streamed live from Glasgow Cathedral on 5 September.
For the Very Rev. Dr Susan Brown, convener of the Church of Scotland’s Faith Impact Forum, COP26 offers “opportunities for activism, for learning and for putting into practice what we believe in,” she said.
“The activities in Glasgow will be out of bounds for most of the members of our church, but by embracing the technology which congregations have made good use of in the past 18 months, the chance to join in lectures, workshops and other events which are being planned and will form part of the COP26 fringe, marks a real change in how we can engage at local level,” added Brown.
“We need to ensure that the voices of those who are experiencing the effects of climate change are heard loud and clear.”

For COP28, Pope Francis Promotes Laudato Si’ saying, “We Must Turn Statements into Actions Before it’s too Late”
“There is a satanic force propelling the Sunday movement, but it is concealed. Even the men who are engaged in the work, are themselves blinded to the results which will follow their movement. Let not the commandment-keeping people of God be silent at this time, as though we gracefully accepted the situation” (Review and Herald, January 1, 1889).
The United Nations 2023 Climate Change Conference (COP 28) is scheduled to take place in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, from November 30 to December 12. Already, Pope Francis is pushing his climate encyclical as the model and solution for the world’s largest international climate change summit. Pope Francis said on July 3, 2023, during an interview with Al-Ittihad, an Arabic-language newspaper published daily in the United Arab Emirates:
“In my encyclical ‘Laudato Si’ on the care of our common home, I tried to ask what kind of world we want to leave for those who come after us, for the children who grow up. COP27 in Egypt and COP28 in the United Arab Emirates are essential occasions for the urgent appeal to be heard and to provide answers to the environmental crisis and to the cry of the earth and the cry of the poor who can no longer wait. Let us take care of creation, the gift of our good God. I encourage the United Arab Emirates in its efforts, and I wish it great success for the benefit of our planet, which is our ‘common home’. The only effective way to face this crisis is to find realistic solutions to the real problems of the ecological crisis. We must turn statements into action before it’s too late.” [1]
Where can “realistic solutions” for the “ecological crisis” be found? Pope Francis says the answers are provided in Laudato Si’. Laudato Si’ is not just about preserving the environment. It is a call to bring the entire human family together. It is calling for a global political authority to impose Catholic social doctrine on every nation. How do we ignore this Vatican effort to pass rigorous climate policies and promote Sunday? This will play a part in the prophetic criteria for the end times because all of the kings of the earth (COP28) are on board.
“On Sunday, our participation in the Eucharist has special importance. Sunday, like the Jewish Sabbath, is meant to be a day which heals our relationships with God, with ourselves, with others and with the world. Sunday is the day of the Resurrection, the ‘first day’ of the new creation, whose first fruits are the Lord’s risen humanity, the pledge of the final transfiguration of all created reality. It also proclaims ‘man’s eternal rest in God’.” (Laudato Si’ #237).
The Vatican is far more concerned with bringing all of the world’s nations into line with all of its Catholic social teachings (the wine of Babylon), and nothing good can come from this. Rome will never be satisfied until the entire world honors and worships her. It is clear to see that the so-called climate crisis is being created to help bring about this purpose. Sunday, the counterfeit Sabbath, the mark of apostasy, is being disguised as the solution to save our society from destruction. All this continuing agitation for Laudato Si’ is Rome’s master plan to conceal its true intention and establish its ecclesiastical supremacy throughout the world.
However, the goal of Rome is diametrically opposed to the goals of the Remnant people of God. God will always have a faithful remnant who will never bow their knee to Baal:
“Here is the line of distinction between the worshipers of God and those who worship the beast and receive his mark. The great conflict is between the commandments of God and the requirements of the beast. It is because the saints are keeping all ten of the commandments that the dragon makes war upon them. If they will lower the standard and yield the peculiarities of their faith, the dragon will be at peace; but they excite his ire because they have dared to raise the standard and unfurl their banner in opposition to the Protestant world, who are worshiping the institution of the papacy” (Testimonies, Vol. 1, p. 223).
