THE CUTTING EDGE

NEWS BRIEF:  "80,000 Hear Pope's Sermon On The Mount", by Alan Philips on the Mount of the Beatitudes, Electronic Telegraph, http://www.telegraph.co.uk  Saturday, 25 March 2000, Issue 1765..

"The Pope preached an updated Sermon on the Mount yesterday, urging the world's youth to become 'courageous apostles' of the teachings that Jesus pronounced on the shore of the Sea of Galilee.  More than 80,000 people gathered for a Papal Mass on a site that looked at times like a religious rock festival.  Young people came from 80 countries, clutching guitars, tambourines, and bongo drums.  When the Mass was over, the site was alive with people dancing amid national flags and papal banners."

As you look closely at this picture, you simply cannot miss the blasphemous Satanic Inverted Cross behind the head of the seated Pontiff.  In fact, this Inverted Cross is so jarring to my senses that I cannot look at it for more than a few moments before I have to look away.  Of all the Satanic symbols, the Inverted Cross is the most cruel caricature of the true Cross of Calvary.  I simply cannot stand the sight of the cross upon which my Savior died for my sins -- and yours -- turned upside down to depict Antichrist. Remember, the true definition of Antichrist is "he who comes in the guise of Christ".

Make no mistake about the fact that the Inverted Cross predates that other Vatican symbol for Antichrist, the Twisted Crucifix, which this Pope has been using at every stop on this trip to the Middle East.  [Read NEWS1359 for full details and a picture of this Twisted Cross Crucifix].  Satanists created the Twisted Cross in 666 A.D. to caricature the Roman Catholic traditional Crucifix, but quickly adopted it as one of their many symbols for Antichrist.  Faithful Catholics have been unknowingly bowing down to this symbol of Antichrist since 1963, when Pope Paul VI began using it for his public ceremonies.  At that time, occult adepts of all secret societies realized this symbol suddenly being used by the Paul VI meant only one thing:  the Illuminati now controlled the Vatican !  Finally, after over 200 years of struggle, the Black Magick forces of the Masters of the Illuminati controlled the Vatican, vanquishing the White Magic practitioners who had held power since Constantine.

Now, approximately 37 years later, this Pope feels it is time to introduce to the unknowing faithful the most dastardly symbols of Antichrist ever created, the Inverted Cross . The genuine Christian holds such reverence for the empty cross upon which Jesus died; think of the many songs we sing which extol the precious cross of Calvary.

*  The Old Rugged Cross -- "On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross, The emblem of suffering and shame; And I love that old cross where the dearest and best, For a world of lost sinners was slain.  So I'll cherish the old rugged cross, Till my trophies at last I lay down; I will cling to the old rugged cross, And exchange it someday for a crown."  Verse 2:  "O that old rugged cross, so despised by the world ..."

*  When I Survey the Wondrous Cross -- "When I survey the wondrous cross, On which the Prince of glory died, My richest gain I count but loss, And pour contempt on all my pride ... See, from His head, His hands, His feet, Sorrow and love flow mingled down, Did e'er such love and sorrow meet, Or thorns compose so rich a crown?"

*  Burdens Are Lifted At Calvary -- "Burdens are lifted at Calvary, Jesus is very near."

*  Near The Cross -- "Jesus, keep me near the cross -- There a precious fountain, Free to all, a healing stream, Flows from Calvary's mountain.  In the cross, in the cross, Be my glory ever, Till my raptured soul shall find Rest, beyond the river."

*  Room at the Cross for You -- "The cross upon which Jesus died, Is a shelter in which we can hide; And its grace so free is sufficient for me, And deep is its fountain - as wide as the sea ... The hand of my Savior is strong, And the love of my Savior is long; Through sunshine or rain, through loss or in gain, The blood flows from Calvary to cleanse every stain.  There's room at the cross for you, There's room at the cross for you; Tho millions have come, There's still room for one -- Yes, there's room at the cross for you."

These songs are just representative of the many we sing which extol the cruel cross upon which Jesus Christ bought our eternal freedom.  The cross has become a precious symbol of that unbelievable love Jesus showed us, when He came to earth as a human, lived a Perfect Life, and then died tortuously to purchase our eternal life through His shed blood.

However, since our hearts fill with love of the Cross, Satan's mind is filled with inexpressible fury at it.  He loses no opportunity to degrade its meaning and its impact upon our lives.  The traditional White Magic practitioners of the Vatican have degraded the cross by symbolically daily placing Jesus back on it, even though the Bible is very clear that the Messiah is only to struck once.  But, the Black Magick Illuminists now in charge at the Vatican have revived two of the deep, dark Satanic symbols of Antichrist -- and both of them are crosses! 

This symbol is the Black Magick Illuminist representation as to the many organizations working together to achieve the Kingdom of Antichrist.  All the red flowing from the lettering above this symbol represents human blood flowing in Satanic sacrifice.  Satanists understand that the New World Order of Antichrist cannot be established until enormous amounts of human blood have flowed in sacrifice to him.  Any human murder that has been planned counts as a sacrifice for this purpose:  wars, abortion, infanticide, euthanasia, and eventually, martyrdom.

Notice that this symbol has the insidious six-figure hexagram in its middle, surrounded by two (2) circles; whenever, a hexagram is surrounded by a circle, it becomes a demon-trap, into which a shaman can actually call demons into this dimension to do his bidding. 

Notice, also, that this symbol has an altar in the middle on which all these sacrifices will be symbolically placed for sacrifice to Lord Satan.  At the extreme right end of this altar is the Inverted Cross!  Therefore, the true impact of this Inverted Cross behind the Pontiff's head is that the world must be very close to the time when all enemies of Antichrist will be placed upon Satan's altar to be sacrificed above his cross.  Indeed, this Pontiff has reestablished the Office of the Inquisition, now called the Office of the Defender of the Faith, with Cardinal Ratzinger as its head.  The Bible does foretell the worst persecution of the Born Again Christian during the time of Antichrist.

Now, many dear Roman Catholics have been lied to about this Inverted Cross.  They are told that this is the cross on which the Apostle Peter was crucified.  Indeed, Peter was crucified upside down because he felt unworthy to be crucified in the same manner as his Lord and Savior.  However, historical records indicate that, while Peter was nailed on the cross upside down, the cross was set in the ground just the same upright way that the Roman executioners always set it.  In other words, the cross was not inverted!  Peter was inverted, not the cross.  This convenient lie was told a long time ago within the Catholic Church to hide the fact that the usage of this cross was taken directly from hard-core Satanism. Do not be deceived on this point!

The time must be very close for this persecution to begin, if Pope John Paul II is willing to be photographed with the Satanic Inverted Cross above his head.  Look back to this symbol again.  Notice the Satanist understands the important role of the Roman Catholic Church in this plan to produce Antichrist.  The outer ring depicts the Catholic Church as one of the organizations endeavoring to produce Antichrist, while the more important -- and powerful -- inner ring depicts the "Black Pope", the head of the Jesuits. 

Now, let us quickly and briefly return to our article for another insight. 

"After the Mass the Pope met Ehud Barak, the Israeli Prime Minister. The meeting was arranged in Galilee because the Vatican does not recognize Israeli sovereignty over the whole of Jerusalem. Mr Barak said the Pope's visit to Israel was of 'immense historic importance' and marked a major step in the reconciliation between Christianity and the Jewish people.

As we have proved many times over, Roman Catholicism is NOT Biblical Christianity. Rather, it is Babylonian Secret Mysteries packaged in Christian doctrine, with names of Biblical figures, and with illustrations and allegories taken from the Bible.  Traditional Roman Catholicism is counterfeit Christianity.

Therefore, I am highly offended that the prime minister of Israel, Ehud Barak, would refer to the Pope as a representative of "Christianity"!  In fact, this current Pope is not even a Catholic; he is an Illuminist.  Barak is an Illuminist, as have most of the leaders of Israel since 1948.  Barak knows that this Pope is not even a traditional Catholic, and he knows he is not Christian; yet, he refers to him as such, thus solidifying this lie in the minds of the peoples of the world.

At best, the Pope is the Biblical "wolf in sheep's clothing".  This picture is one slide we use in several seminars.  It exactly illustrates the warning we are giving you today.  This Pope may look like a Christian sheep, but he is a wolf inside a sheep's skin, undoubtedly from a Christian who did not "watch his back".  Listen to Jesus' warning of such wolves in sheep's clothing:

"Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves." [Matthew 7:15]  Notice the word, 'ravening' here.  This word means extremely vicious and hungry.  This word means that the wolf will kill just for the thrill of killing.  Then, notice Jesus warning us that anyone who is a wolf in sheep's clothing is a false religious prophet, whose only true aim is to kill the spiritual and/or physical life of the genuine Christian.

But, Jesus goes on to tell us that we shall know the false prophet -- that ravenous wolf in sheep's clothing -- by his fruits.  "Ye shall know them by their fruits ... Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit." [Matthew 7:16-18]

Just as the Traditional Catholic Church produced the horrible fruit of the Inquisition, so we can clearly see the fruit of this particular Pope.  He "apologizes" for the terrible injustices perpetrated in history against various groups, but he does so in a way as to ask forgiveness only on behalf of the individuals who carried out such crimes, leaving the "Holy Mother Church" blameless and holy throughout.  Furthermore, this Pope is holding forth the "fruits" at every Mass, that terrible Satanic Twisted Cross.  Now, we see another piece of "evil fruit" in the Inverted Cross of Black Magick Satanism.

Finally, since we know that the New World Order Plan has officially named the Roman Catholic Pope to be the top religious leader of the Kingdom of Antichrist [Read NEWS1052], we know he is THE False Prophet of Revelation 13:11-18, who will wield the same occult power as Antichrist, who will lead the peoples of the world into worship of Antichrist, and who will force the peoples of the world to take the infamous Mark of the Beast.  Since this is the case, you can understand why Pope John Paul II reinstated the Office of the Defender of the Faith [Inquisition] with Cardinal Ratzinger as its head.  This Pope is getting ready to deal with those genuine Christians of the Tribulation Period who will refuse to take the Mark of the Beast.

Since the Roman Pontiff is declared to be the False Prophet, let us turn to Revelation 13 to see how his depiction as a Christian leader uncannily fulfills a most important Tribulation prophecy. "And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon." [Revelation 13:11]  THE prophesied False Religious Prophet is prophesied to have "two horns like a lamb"; in other words, he will present himself as a Christian leader, and the peoples of the world will accept him as a Christian leader.  This is exactly what Pope John Paul II is doing, even as he is holding forth two terrible symbols of Antichrist -- the Twisted Cross and the Inverted Cross .  And, sure enough, the peoples of the world are accepting him as a genuine Christian leader.

Since this is true, then we know that John Paul II's heart is truly the heart of "a dragon".  The Book of Revelation further defines precisely who this dragon is:  "And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan ..."  [Revelation 12:9]  Thus, this Pope might look like a Christian, might talk enough like one to deceive the people, but his inward heart is controlled by Satan, that Devil, that old Serpent!

Then, this verse continues:  "... which deceiveth the whole world:"  The vast majority of the peoples of the world are truly being deceived.  They are bowing down by the millions every year to the Symbol of Antichrist, the Twisted Cross .  In this news story, after they have bowed down to the Twisted Cross,  they danced and cavorted right in front of the Satanic Inverted Cross .  The time before the Tribulation Period truly is becoming short.

In closing, I issue the strongest warning -- and challenge -- to all those Liberal Protestant leaders who are cooperating with this Pope and his Vatican.  You have been deceived into thinking that this Pope and his Church are compatible with Biblical Christianity.  You have led your Protestant flocks into the sacrificial holding pen of this False Prophet.  But, now you can see the fruits of this Pope.  The pictures of these two Satanic crosses have been in the news daily for the past several weeks.  Surely, you can see the deception into which you have fallen.

I can think of certain names of Protestant leaders and their denominations who have cooperated closely with this Pope:

*  All leaders of the Ecumenical Movement must now step up to the plate to recognize that the leader with whom they have been closely cooperating is a man of Satan.  New World Order leaders have boldly stated, since the early 1900's, that the Kingdom of Antichrist was going to be mightily aided by the Ecumenical Movement.  If you are a member of a church cooperating in the Ecumenical Movement, you must recognize the terrible danger you are in, and leave immediately, for a Fundamental church.

*  All leaders of the Promise Keepers Movement must now realize that their close cooperation with Rome and with this Pope are leading them and their movement, straight into the waiting arms of Antichrist [Read NEWS1171, "Discerning Look At Promise Keepers"].  Once you understand how you have been deceived by this extremely clever counterfeit "Christian" movement, you will run out the door of that movement and of that church which led you into it in the first place.

*  Pat Robertson, Paul Crouch, and Oral Roberts all need to recognize these practical fruits of this Pope and his Vatican, and publicly disavow their past close association with him.  They need to step to public podiums to condemn the Satanism of this Pope.  If you are a member of any church or organization led by, or affiliated with, these men, you need to leave immediately.

*  If you are a member of any church or religious group that advocates "unity", even if it means ignoring doctrinal differences, you need to get out immediately.  Please re-read John 17:11-26, which is the basis for all this unity effort.  In this passage, Jesus does pray to His Father, that His followers "may be one".  However, Jesus then mightily qualifies this unity in verses 17-19, when He bases His unity on TRUTH!  Three times in these two verses, Jesus states that the basis for this unity is adherence to doctrinal truth.  It does matter a great deal if the person or organization with whom you are seeking unity adheres to the key doctrines of the Bible.  You cannot unify with someone who does not believe in the Divinity of Jesus Christ, or in the inerrancy of Scripture, or in the Virgin Birth, or in the Death and Resurrection of our Lord, or in a literal Heaven and Hell.  To ignore such doctrinal differences is simply to walk into the trap of Antichrist.  Like it or not, this is fact.  Like it or not, these images of the Twisted Cross  and the Inverted Cross , are proofs positive that cooperation with Rome and with the Ecumenical Movement is leading straight into the arms of Antichrist.

It is time for these individuals and their organizations to hear from us.  You need to write, call, or email these people listed above, and to anyone else you know who is cooperating with them; tell them to publicly disavow this Pope, his Church, and the Ecumenical Movement.  Then, watch to see who does repudiate his past associations with these terrible organizations.  These men are true Christian leaders who have just been misled.

But, you can boldly mark those leaders who do not repudiate this Pope, his Church and the Ecumenical Movement.  These leaders are also counterfeit Christian; they are also wolves in sheep's clothing; they are also either Illuminists themselves masquerading as Christian, or they are allowing themselves to be used by the Illuminists.

Truly, the time is coming quickly when Antichrist himself will actually appear.  This visit by Pope John Paul II has repaired the bridge between Judaism and the Vatican, thus allowing for the Roman Catholic Pontiff to one day travel to Jerusalem to convene that global religious conference, at which he will announce that all world's religions are now one, and he is their leader. 

Can you hear the approaching hoofbeats of the Horsemen of the Apocalypse?

Are you spiritually ready? Is your family? Are you adequately protecting your loved ones? This is the reason for this ministry, to enable you to first understand the peril facing you, and then help you develop strategies to warn and protect your loved ones. Once you have been thoroughly trained, you can also use your knowledge as a means to open the door of discussion with an unsaved person. I have been able to use it many times, and have seen people come to Jesus Christ as a result. These perilous times are also a time when we can reach many souls for Jesus Christ, making an eternal difference.
