THE CUTTING EDGE
LAYING THE FOUNDATION
We live in prophetically terrible times. The world is, indeed, swirling toward the global government, economy, and religion prophesied to be the Kingdom of Antichrist. Every single prophecy of the End of the Age is now either coming true, or the stage is clearly being set for it to come true. On the one hand, we have prophetic Scriptures written between 1,900 - 2.500 years ago, coming true right here and right now! On the other hand, we see the outworkings of an occult plan created approximately 230 years ago by the "Illumined Ones" -- Illuminati -- that seeks to make the very changes in the world that the Bible foretells! And, the Illuminati plan foresees the same major goal as does prophecy: changing the world so Antichrist can appear (Revelation 6:1-2).
Since World War II, major events have occurred which have steadily moved the world into this global kingdom; furthermore, the three major parts of the world are "going global" at roughly the same time -- Politics, Economics, Religion. In August, 1991, I learned that the Illuminati had just recently chosen the man who would be their supreme religious leader in the New World Order Religion; he was none other than the Roman Catholic Pope, whomever he was at the time when Antichrist arose [Read NEWS1052 for full details].
When I heard the New England Director of the House of Theosophy state that the Pope was to be the head religious leader, the events of the entire decade of the 1980's made sense. Pope John Paul II has been the most strenuous advocate of Ecumenism in religious world history. Since assuming the powers of the Papacy in 1978, this pope has held more Ecumenical meetings with more heads of religion than any of his predecessors. He has literally traveled the globe over and over again, striving to bring all world's religions together as one functioning body.
Roman Catholicism is uniquely positioned to bring the disparate religions of the world under its broad umbrella. Catholicism appeals to the goddess worshipping religions of the world - typified by Hinduism, Buddhism, New Age, Wicca -- because the worship of the Virgin Mary is simply a "christianizing" of the goddess worship of all these religions.
New Age author, Peter Lemesurier, states this fact most succinctly. Listen:
In his most blasphemous book, The Armageddon Script, Peter Lemesurier writes enthusiastically about the worship of the Great Mother Earth. He writes as though he is an astronaut in a spaceship in orbit around our planet.
"As they rounded the barren lunar globe for the...last time, and the resplendent half-earth once again rose from behind that now familiar curved and rocky horizon, what they saw coming up to meet them was strangely familiar. An image straight out of the racial memory. A god out of the world of the archetypes. It was none other than the rounded form of the Great Mother, Earth herself, clad in the same flowering robes of shimmering blue and white that had been those of mother-goddesses of earth and sky throughout man's history - and not least his most recent mother-goddess, the Virgin Mary herself..." (p. 245-6).
Peter Lemesurier, as a Pagan worshipper, has no difficulty recognizing the truth that the worship of the Virgin Mary is ancient Pagan idolatry. Therefore, non-Christian Pagans the world over will have little difficulty accepting the worship of the Roman Catholic Virgin Mother. [Read CE1008 for full details of the immense commonality between the Catholic Virgin Mary and the many goddesses of the polytheistic religions of the world].
Literally, Rome is drawing these pagan religions to her altar simply because they identify with the Catholic goddess, the Virgin Mary!
On the other hand, Catholicism is uniquely situated to bring Liberal and Apostate Christian churches to her altar because Rome's pagan doctrines are all dressed up as Christianity. By vigorously pursuing the Ecumenical Ideal, Rome is drawing these Christian churches to herself. What is the "Ecumenical Ideal"? It is the unbiblical concept that members of various Christian churches should focus on what they believe in common while persistently ignoring their differences! This is most unbiblical!
"If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: 11 For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds." [2 John 1:10-11]
We are supposed to separate from unbelievers, or from people who hold to a radically different "doctrine" as taught by the Apostles, to the extreme point of not letting them even come into your home! Jesus repeats this idea of separation from sin -- is there any greater sin than misleading people spiritually, so they will fall to their utter ruin -- but Jesus accompanies His urging to separate with a warning of Judgment.
"And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues." [Rev 18:4]
Since the judgments pronounced upon the False Prophet in the Book of Revelation are very severe, we can see that, by identifying with the False Prophet and/or his evil system, people will be " partakers of her sins" and receiving the same plagues of Judgment foretold against the False Prophet. People instinctively understand that, when another person is ill with a highly contagious disease, that person needs to be separated from healthy individuals so that the disease cannot spread. However, too many people and their blind spiritual guides do not apply this same concept to spiritual matters. In the early 1950's, a new group arose calling itself "New Evangelicals" who stated that, while they would remain Orthodox in Theology, they would stop separating from unbelievers and/or apostate churches; rather, they would "infiltrate" these ranks, carrying the Gospel of Jesus Christ with them, and get these organizations saved. The world is now 50 years past this point, and the results are too clear to miss: the rank unbelievers and apostate Christians have given their disease to the New Evangelicals!
The situation is so bad even the New Age adherents can see the truth. New Age author Jeremy Rifkin made a very shocking statement almost 10 years ago. He predicted that Evangelical churches would be the chief instrument to bring the New World Order to birth! ["The Emerging Order", Page x-xi]
How can this be? Is it really possible that the Evangelical Christian Movement
-- which is thought to include Charismatics -- is really going to serve as "the
chief instrument to bring the New World Order to birth"? Can Evangelical
Christianity really be instrumental in leading the peoples of the world into
the Kingdom of Antichrist?
Yes, it is highly possible. In fact, we believe that the current infatuation with Mel Gibson's movie, "The Passion", may provide the final great push to join Evangelicals and Roman Catholics together! After all, as we shall demonstrate in Part 2 of this series, Evangelicals are falling all over themselves to see this Jesuit/Opus Die, Roman Catholic version of Jesus' crucifixion! Not really the Biblical account, as we shall demonstrate later in this article as well as in Part 2, but a mystical, radical Roman Catholic view!
In fact, this film was made by theologians who place Jesus on the Cross every day, since the Mass is a recrucifixion of our Lord daily. Listen to Catholic teaching: "The Mass continues the Sacrifice of the Cross. Each time the Mass is offered, the Sacrifice of Christ is repeated. A new sacrifice is not offered, but by divine power, one and the same sacrifice is repeated. 'As often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the death of the Lord, until He comes (1 Cor 11:26). In the Mass, Christ continues to offer Himself to the Father as He did on the Cross. And in the Mass, the Father continues to accept His Son's gift as He did in the Resurrection and the Ascension." ["The New Saint Joseph Baltimore Catechism", Catholic Book Publishing, p. 171]
Sacrificing Jesus daily, putting Him back on that Cross daily, is an abomination to God! Not only did God keep Moses from entering the Promised Land because he struck the rock (Jesus) twice, but the writer to the Hebrews makes it quite plain that a person cannot even be saved as long as they hold Jesus up to shame continually! Listen:
"If they then deviate from the faith and turn away from their allegiance--it is impossible to bring them back to repentance, as long as they nail upon the cross the Son of God afresh ... and are holding Him up to contempt and shame and public disgrace." [Hebrews 6:6; Parallel Bible, KJV/Amplified Bible Commentary]
Therefore, this movie is going to depict the point of view of theologians who daily put Jesus back on the Cross to crucify Him again, who daily believe they are eating His flesh and drinking His blood through the Communion because of the miraculous power of Transubstantiation. Further, these theologians force their adherents to focus on Jesus hanging in agony on the Cross instead of Jesus gloriously raised from the dead! The great emphasis on this movie will be on the crucifixion, with very little emphasis upon His glorious Resurrection!
And, this latter problem is a great one, as the Apostle Paul warned:
"But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen: And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain. Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God." [1 Cor 15:13-15]
We shall find it interesting how this film depicts Jesus' Resurrection, for
Catholicism places far more emphasis on the crucifixion than the Resurrection.
"THE
PASSION" = 'SPEAR OF LONGINUS' ILLUMINATI CARD?
Gibson's "The Passion" is symbolized on the extreme left, while the card, "Spear of Longinus", from the Illuminati Card Game is shown on the extreme right. How did Steve Jackson -- inventor of Illuminati Card Game -- know, in 1995, that some event based upon Jesus' crucifixion would occur that would be instrumental in leading the world into the New World Order? If you have not heard of the revolutionary, unbelievable Illuminati Card Game, we provide this very brief synopsis. Steve Jackson Games was producing role playing games -- both card games and board games -- most of them being based on the occult. From 1990-1995, Jackson researched the many elements by which the Illuminati was planning to overthrow the existing "Old World Order" civilization, replacing it with the "New World Order", also known as the "Kingdom of the Masonic Christ" (Biblical Antichrist).
Steve Jackson's research culminated in 1995, when he brought his card game to the Retail Market. These individual cards represent actions, or leaders, or groups of people whom the Illuminati is going to use to bring their Kingdom of Antichrist into reality. The forces of Fear, Distrust, Dissension and Violence are the Illuminati's weapons of choice. Thus, in 1995, this card game had a card depicting the attack on the World Trade Center, with an explosion occurring exactly where the first plane hit the North Tower on 9/11/2001! Another card depicted the Pentagon on fire in the middle of that structure! How in the world could Steve Jackson have precisely known, in 1995, the major two events of 9/11? As Cutting Edge has repeatedly taught, the Illuminati plan to produce Antichrist is well known within occult circles. As an occultist, Jackson learned of this full plan. We have issued five articles on this subject; if you have not yet read them, we encourage you to do so now.
The title of this five-part series is: "Smoking Gun Proof The Illuminati Planned Terrible Events Many Years Ago To Bring Down Our Culture"
Article #1 - NEWS1753 -- 9/11 Attack ForeseenArticle #2 - NEWS1855 -- Events That Have Already OccurredArticle #3 - NEWS1856 -- Stage Being SetArticle #4 - NEWS1857 -- Cataclysmic Events Still In The Future -
Article #5 - NEWS1859 -- Natural Disasters Planned
Therefore, since each card in the Illuminati Card Game represents something the Illuminati plans to do to bring down the Old World Order so they can institute the New World Order, how could Steve Jackson know, in 1995, that the Illuminati was going to create some event that revolved around Jesus' crucifixion on Calvary? When you examine this "Spear of Longinus" card, you will note that the impact of the card is centered on Golgotha, with all three crosses showing on the hills; Jesus' cross is the most prominent. Notice the depiction that the fires of Hell seem to be burning around the crosses on Calvary. Take a close look at this card.
The "Spear of Longinus" is shown in the foreground. For those not familiar with the occult, the Spear of Longinus is a magic relic worshipped by all occultists. They believe it to be the actual spear the Roman Centurion thrust into the side of Jesus Christ while he hung on the cross. Therefore, occultists worship this relic and believe it to be exceedingly powerful; in fact, Illuminist occultists believe that whoever controls this spear will control the entire world. Additionally, the Spear is also believed to be a symbol of Jesus' New Covenant.
This relic is said to be presently located in the museum of the Hapsburg Dynasty in Vienna, Austria. Listen to White Magic practitioner, Trevor Ravenscroft explain the importance of the Spear of Longinus.
"Charging his horse towards the central Cross, the Roman centurion thrust a Spear into the right side of Jesus Christ, piercing the chest between the fourth and fifth ribs. Such a manner of piercing was the custom of Roman soldiers on the field of battle when they sought to prove that a wounded enemy was dead ... (This centurion) became known as 'Longinus The Spearman' .. a prime witness of the shedding of the Blood of the New Covenant for which the Spear became a symbol. It was said that, for a moment in Time, he had held the destiny of the whole of mankind in his hands .. the legend grew around it, gaining strength with the passing of the centuries, that whoever possessed it and understood the powers it served, held the destiny of the world in his hands for good or evil. This legend ... has seen its most dreadful fulfillment in the twentieth century." ["The Spear of Destiny", Trevor Ravenscroft, p. xi-xii]
The "fulfillment in the Twentieth Century" referred to, above, was Adolf Hitler. On the morning after Hitler gained political control of Austria, he entered his car to travel in a procession to Vienna. The procession stopped at the Hapsberg Museum. Hitler strode into the museum, walked straight to the Longinus Spear and took possession of it. He then returned to Berlin to make preparations for World War II, believing his possession of the Spear granted him an omnipotence in war. Years later, Hitler committed suicide within hours of the time American forces seized the Spear! Occultists believe, with all their heart, that the coming "Masonic Christ" must take possession of the 'Spear of Longinus' before he can stage his appearance on earth.
Since the 'Spear of Longinus' is intimately connected with Jesus' crucifixion, the emphasis on this card must be the crucifixion. How did Jackson know, in 1995, that the Illuminati was going to stage an event revolving around Jesus' crucifixion? Is "The Passion" movie the practical outworking of this Illuminati plan to create some event revolving around the crucifixion?
Let us quickly examine this card. In our picture, above, we eliminated the bottom one-third of the card since it simply gave instructions as to how that card was to be used during the course of the game. In most of the cards, these instructions are rather meaningless; however, they are very meaningful to understanding the true nature of this card.
First, at the very bottom of this card, we see these words: "Unique Magic Artifact". The word, "Magic" is a Witchcraft word whose meaning is hidden from most people. Checking with our occult symbols book, we read this definition of a "magic symbol".
"What is a magical symbol? The true magic symbol is an image which hides an inner meaning. This meaning is usually hidden behind a form ..." ["Magic Symbols", by Frederick Goodman, p. 6]
Therefore, this Illuminati Card contains a hidden inner meaning, hidden behind a form. Could this "form" be the movie, "The Passion"? I think this is likely the case! Now, let us examine the wording in the box which tells how this card may be played:
"This artifact, both sacred and cursed, can be used as often as you wish! It can give +1 to any Attack to Destroy (by any player), or to any Disaster. Any attack aided by the Spear is considered Magic ..."
Therefore, this specific Illuminati Card is telling us that, whatever the Illuminati plan is regarding a planned event revolving around Jesus' crucifixion, it will carry "Magic" powers and will produce "Magical" results! Magic is propelled by the power of the demonic host, usually brought into this realm through specific ritual. Do we see a possible connection with this movie? News stories have reported that Gibson brought a Traditionalist Catholic priest on to the set every morning so he could hold a Latin Mass prior to beginning that day's shooting!
Former Satanists have unanimously told me that there is absolutely no difference between a Catholic priest saying a rote script (the Mass) before the altar, using the candles, the prayer beads, the Holy Water and other implements, and a Witch saying a rote ritual before the altar, using exactly the same implements that carry exactly the same meaning! Roman Catholicism said in Latin is powerful White Magic Witchcraft [See our video on this subject, "Catholicism: Whited Sepulcher Christianity"]
You see, Latin is known amongst Satanists as "the language of Witchcraft". How can this be? Latin was developed in the ancient Roman Empire during the successive reign of the Emperors. As a successive group of rulers, they practiced some of the most powerful Witchcraft the world had ever seen. When Adolf Hitler was mesmerizing his fellow Germans, he aspired to reach the point where his Witchcraft was as powerful as the Roman Emperors.
Therefore, Mass said in Latin contains much demonic power. When the church authorized Mass to be said in other tongues after Vatican II, she allowed the Mass to lose much demonic power. Thus, it is significant that Gibson held a Traditional Latin Mass to be said each morning before the daily movie shoot began! Former Illuminist Witch, Cisco Wheeler, told me that what this daily Latin Mass likely accomplished is to place a "curse" on the proceedings of that day. Hard Satanic Rocker groups in the 1970-1980's regularly called in a coven to perform a cursing ritual during the time they were professionally recording their new album. This curse would then attach itself to the record master. When a child bought the album at a store, he or she was giving demons the "right" to come home, into their room, to afflict them, or worse, to possess them. Cisco says this daily Latin Mass likely was designed to have the same effect. This is simply the way Witchcraft works!
If the Illuminati desires this "Passion" movie to achieve a powerful "magical result", a daily Latin Mass could accomplish this goal exactly!
We feel exactly as our title states, that this movie may produce a dramatic "Paradigm Shift" in people's consciousness that could result in Evangelical Christianity melding solidly with Roman Catholicism! Remember two factors: 1) The Illuminati has chosen the man who will be their False Prophet of Revelation 13; he is the Roman Catholic Pope, whomever he will be at the time [Read NEWS1052]; 2) As we stated above, the New Age plans for Evangelical Christianity to provide the final push to stage Antichrist! With this thought in mind, this current news article makes a lot of sense:
NEWS BRIEF: "Evangelical Christians Are Drumming Up Interest in The Passion", By Dean Reynolds, ABC News, February 12, 2004.
"Ordinarily, a church is not the first place to hear about coming attractions at the local theater. But behold, there is now a buzz upon the land, and it cometh from the pulpit. The anticipation of Mel Gibson's The Passion of the Christ is turning Sunday sermons into movie reviews, and pastors into publicists. 'I'm encouraging you to go see that motion picture', the Rev. Don George told his Calvary Temple congregation in Irving, Texas. 'Go to this R-rated movie'."
Just as Jeremy Rifkin stated, Evangelical Churches are getting ready to provide
the final impetus to achieving the New World Order!
Now that we have seen that the Illuminati Card Game depicted, in 1995, that
the Illuminati was going to create some event that revolved around the crucifixion
of Jesus Christ, let us now go to the next segment of our article: a critique
of the Mel Gibson TV interview on ABC News.
MEL GIBSON'S INTERVIEW
Before we get started, let us review two very important pieces of information which shall guide us well.
"For a good tree bringeth not forth corrupt fruit; neither doth a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. For every tree is known by his own fruit." [Luke 6:43-44]
"Examine a stream at its headwaters; if the headwaters is polluted, the entire stream below will be corrupt." [Baptist Pastoral Example]
Mel Gibson revealed some interesting details of his belief during an interview with Dianne Sawyer, ABC News, on Monday, February 18, 2004. When we heard that Mel Gibson was going to be interviewed on ABC News Primetime about "The Passion" movie, we listened with interest, because we hoped he would shed some additional light on this most important movie. We were not disappointed. Catholics and Evangelical churches are promoting this movie very heavily, with many churches touting the movie as an important new witnessing tool. [NOTE: You can read a transcript of this interview by contacting www.Transcripts.net or you may see a video of this interview on the ABC News site.
Gibson revealed some very important information that all potential Christian viewers should consider when they are deciding whether to attend. Remember, Gibson's religious views and associations are likely to impact this movie, so they are very important to know.
1. Gibson believes all people will eventually go to heaven!
DIANE SAWYER (ABC NEWS) -- "... when we talked with Gibson and his actors, we wondered, does his traditionalist view bar the door to Heaven for Jews, Protestants, Muslims?
MEL GIBSON (ACTOR/DIRECTOR) -- "That's not the case at all. Absolutely not. It is possible for people who are not even Christian to get into the Kingdom of Heaven. It's just easier for -and I have to say that because that's what I believe."
DIANE SAWYER -- "You have the nonstop ticket?"
MEL GIBSON -- "Well, yeah, I'm saying it's an easier ride where I am because it's like -I have to believe that."
How could Gibson create and direct a film depicting the awful sacrifice Jesus made on the cross with the belief that people of other faiths can get to heaven by way other than through Jesus? This belief is rank heresy! Furthermore, even though Gibson says he based his movie squarely on the four Gospels, how is it that he ignores Jesus' Words in John 14:6: "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." [John 14:6]
Does Gibson really practice "buffet" Christianity, where one can pick and choose what they want to believe, and safely reject the rest?
Further, I really do not understand what Mel meant when he said that it is
"easier" for him to get to heaven than those of other faiths, unless
he is speaking of Purgatory. In the spurious Catholic doctrine of Purgatory,
all people -- including popes -- enter into Purgatory for the final cleansing
of sin before they are released to go to Heaven. You see, Jesus' sacrifice
was not 100% perfected! While Calvary provided a way for sins to be forgiven,
a stain of sin remains that must be "purged" at Purgatory. The length
of time a person has to spend in Purgatory depends upon several factors, not
the least of which is how well they have kept the "Works" demanded
by the Catholic Church. Since Gibson attends Traditionalist Mass every single
day, he might feel he will have to spend less time in torture in Purgatory
than other Catholics, and certainly members of other faiths. Whatever he believes,
this, too, is heresy.
2. Gibson espoused standard Catholic heresy about salvation prior to Jesus Christ.
MEL GIBSON -- "... it's our belief that by the sin of the first people, original sin, that the gates were closed to us, to eternal life, and that his sacrifice as a redeemer of all mankind was to open the gates to all of us again."
Roman Catholic dogma never teaches Salvation through Grace Alone; they always teach "works salvation". Catholic teaching states that Adam's original sin shut the door to Heaven to everyone who ever lived from the First Adam to the Second Adam! From Adam to Jesus' sacrifice on the Cross, every single person went to Hell when they died! This list includes the Old Testament writers and even King David!
Jesus' sacrifice opened the gates again, but even then, people had to "work" their way to heaven through observing the sacraments, going to confession, attending Holy Days, and so on and so forth. Again, this is such rank heresy
3. Gibson said this movie is true to the Four Gospels. Yet, we find interesting discrepancies with this movie account and the Gospels.
A. Mel said Jesus fell down. "He [Jesus] falls a lot. When he falls, he's going to have to fall in different ways and it's going to have to say different things." We encourage you to read the parallel Gospel account of Jesus' trek from the place He is condemned, to Golgotha, and you will discover that the Gospels never once said Jesus fell! We shall even give you the appropriate Scriptures:Matthew 27:32-44Mark 15:21-32Luke 23:26-43John 19:16-27
As you can see, Jesus never fell according to the Scriptures! We have just discovered another area in which the movie does not follow the Four Gospels! Where, then, did Mel get the idea Jesus "fell a lot". Roman Catholic Tradition states that Jesus fell a lot. You see, when you want your parishioners to worship a dying Savior every single day, you will want to increase the suffering perception. By emphasizing his terrible wounds, you reach the point quickly where you are convinced that He was so beaten that He fell down a lot. But, God does not state this!
B. The movie shown on the interview showed that, as Jesus fell beneath the heavy weight of the cross, Simon, a Cyrenian, lovingly comes alongside, intertwines his arm with Jesus' arm and picks up the cross for him. But, the Gospel accounts say much differently. Matthew, Mark, and Luke all record that Simon was "compelled", was forced by Roman soldiers to carry Jesus' Cross!
C. Mel said that Jesus was frightened at Gethsemane. "His film starts in the Garden of Gethsemane. A frightened Jesus chooses to accept God's will that he should die." I take exception to this because my dictionary states that the word "frightened" means "afraid" or "timid", or "sudden alarm". Jesus was not suffering that night in Gethsemane because He was "afraid" or "timid", or taken by "sudden alarm". In eternity past, He determined that He would incarnate at the right moment in history and would pay a supreme sacrifice for the world.
Jesus suffered great agony because He began to feel the weight of all the sins of the world -- even those sins not yet committed by people not yet born -- upon His body and soul. Listen to a commentary: "Now, the grand expiatory sacrifice begins to be offered ... in this garden Jesus ... begins to offer his own body- his own life- a lamb without spot, for the sin of the world. Luke observes, Luke 22:43, 44, that there appeared unto him an angel from heaven strengthening him; and that, being in an agony, his sweat was like great drops of blood falling to the ground ... The prospect of death could not cause him to suffer thus, when he knew that in less than three days he was to be restored to life, and be brought into an eternity of blessedness. His agony and distress can receive no consistent explication but on this ground- He SUFFERED, the JUST for the UNJUST, that he might BRING us to GOD. O glorious truth! O infinitely meritorious suffering! And O! above all, the eternal love, that caused him to undergo such sufferings for the sake of SINNERS !" —Adam Clarke's Commentary [Emphasis was in the original]
Later in this interview, we see that Gibson places a lot of confidence in the writings of a 19th Century mystic named Anne Emmerich. She once wrote that Jesus begged for his life! Absolute nonsense!
D. Gibson portrays Satan as "Masculine yet feminine". Occultists believe strongly in androgyny, having both female and male characteristics. This also is not biblical, for Satan is never portrayed as anything other than "he" or "him".
While this argument seems weak and out of place in our discussion, it is worth noting the Roman Catholic Tradition regarding Aramaic. Catholic theologians teach that the Four Gospels were written originally in Aramaic, and only later in Greek. This argument would make Aramaic the original -- hence, more authoritative -- language. Thus, when you read Matthew 16:13-19 in Aramaic, the distinctions between the two different types of "rock" to which Jesus refers disappears. According to Catholic doctrine, Jesus established His Church upon the rock of Peter, thus making him the first pope.
However, the Greek language will not allow this interpretation. Let us quickly review this passage.
"He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it." [Matt 16:15-18]
The word "Peter" in the Greek is Strong's # 4074, meaning "a rock or a stone" - "Petros". However, Jesus said He would build His Church upon a different rock, Strong's # 4073, "petra", a much larger rock. Thus, Jesus is basing His Church upon the huge boulder of Peter's confession that He was the prophesied Messiah!
4. Gibson made a really strange statement that conforms neither to Biblical doctrine nor to Catholicism as far as I know. Listen:
"God ordains everything. God made my bed, you know ... like my kids ask me. Did God make the car?"
This statement sounds suspiciously like the Buddhist belief that God is Immnent, which literally means that, when God created this world, He transfused Himself into everything, so that He is now present in everything. For a short time, we had a neighbor across the street who was a Unitarian - Universalist Sunday School teacher. Imagine my surprise when I first entered his house and discovered a statue of Buddha sitting behind an altar in the midst of a Buddhist shrine in his living room! Later, one of his daughters explained to one of my daughters that God is everywhere because He is in everything. "God is my pillow", she said.
If this is what Gibson meant, then he is personally mixing Traditional Catholicism with Buddhism.
5. Gibson did profess a belief in the literal reading of the Bible.
6. Gibson spoke of his desire to make the movie as shocking as possible. "I wanted it to be shocking. And I also wanted it to be extreme. I wanted it to push the viewer over the edge. And it does that. I think it pushes one over the edge. So that they see the enormity, the enormity of that sacrifice. To see that someone could endure that and still come back with love and forgiveness. Even through extreme pain and suffering and ridicule ...
One of the "Inter-Faith" scholars was shocked, also:
DOMINIQUE CROSSAN (CHRISTIAN SCHOLAR) -- "My first reaction was horror.
I'd watched two hours of absolute brutality like I'd never seen before in
the cinema."
Indeed, this movie goes to far greater extreme in portraying blood, guts, and gore than God elected to do when He inspired the Four Gospels. Why would Gibson decide to do this, when he said his movie was taken from these Gospels? A large part of the reason, I think, has to do with the great influence that the mystic Catholic secret society, Opus Dei, had upon this movie. Listen to the connection:
"... on the following Monday, December 8, the feast of the Immaculate Conception, Dziwisz (Pope's personal secretary) received the four who provided the review to the pope. They were Steve McEveety, the film's American producer, and his wife. Jan Michelini, director's assistant to Mel Gibson, and his father Alberto .. Both Michelinis are supernumeraries of Opus Dei." (Opus Dei Awareness Network, www.odan.org/media_passion.htm
Further, the Pope's Director of the Vatican Press Office is Joaquin Navarro-Valls, an Opus Dei numerary. [Ibid.]
Opus Dei is a very mystical, occult secret society within the Catholic Church. They regularly practice self-mutilation and infliction of pain. They use several methods to "mortify the flesh", only two of which have a bearing on this bloody Gibson film. 1) Cilice - a spiked chain worn around the upper thigh for two hours each day ... generally Opus Dei members are extremely hesitant to admit that they use them. It is a painful mortification which leaves small prick holes in the flesh; 2) Discipline - a cord-like whip ... used on the buttocks or back once a week. Opus Dei members must ask permission to use it often, which many do ... the Founder was so zealous in using the discipline he splattered the bathroom walls with streaks of blood ... The real point is that even if the cilice and the discipline are acceptable forms of penance, their use shows that Opus Dei members are NOT ordinary people, not free agents." [www.odan.org/corporal_mortification.htm]
Let us now examine some pertinent quotes from the writings of the Opus Dei Founder, Josemaria Escriva:
* "Blessed be pain. Loved be pain. Sanctified be pain. Glorified be pain!" (The Way, p. 208)
* "... Deny yourself. It is so beautiful to be a victim." {Ibid., p. 175)
Is this the real reason "The Passion" is so terribly bloody? We are not denying that the Romans bloodied Jesus terribly, for they did. Our question is simple: if Gibson really patterned this movie after the Four Gospels, why did he make the film so bloody when God did not see fit to do so in His precious Bible? We feel that the bloody self-mortification personality of these Opus Dei people involved with "The Passion" may have helped shape this extremely bloody film.
Let us go back for a moment to Gibson's statement, above, that he wanted to "push people over the edge". Cisco Wheeler, former Satanist, pointed out to me that this kind of extreme pain and blood is regularly used when tormenting a person in a Mind Control regimen. Is it possible that this movie will "push some people over the edge" so that their minds begin the process toward some sort of Mind Control? In the black-white movie on Mind Control, "The Manchurian Candidate", the victims were trained to respond to the black Ace of Spades. Is this movie so sophisticated that it could begin to push some people over the edge emotionally and/or mentally so they could be more easily influenced later on? One has to wonder, for the Illuminati emphasizes Mind Control over people first, and then control over entire populations -- preferably without any of the victims realizing they are now under mind control!
7. Gibson "has said he helped his visual imagination by reading books, one of them a collection of the vivid, and some say lurid, visions of a 19th century German nun, named Anne Emmerich. Gibson also carries a church relic from her. But that brings us back to Gibson's critics, who argue that Anne Emmerich is notoriously anti-Semitic, dreaming scenes where Jews are more violent than the Gospels say. Gibson says anti-Semitism was not in the passages he read."
This story is no small matter! Emmerich was a mystic stigmatist who regularly bled while she was in meditation. My research has proven that stigmata is regularly practiced by Hindu and Buddhist priests, powered by a powerful demon spirit called "Ranchung" ["Longing For Darkness", by China Galland].
Once again, we see that Gibson represents a polluted headwaters to this stream. People are NOT going to see a Gospel account of Jesus' crucifixion, but an Opus Dei, Society of Jesus, mystic, Roman Catholic vision, a movie one Catholic author described as "being perfectly Marian"! Why are Evangelicals going so crazy over this film, seeing it as a means by which to reach people for Jesus? To ascertain the answer to that question, we shall only have to check the prophetic situation in the rest of the world, to see where we are in the prophetic sequence line. What spiritual battle is reaching a critical mass right now? The world stands at the cusp of the joining of all religions into one global religion which would be headed by the False Prophet. Roman Catholicism is providing the key leadership. To the goddess religions of the East (Buddhism, Hinduism), Catholicism is drawing them because of the inherent goddess worship of the Virgin Mary. To the Protestant Christian, Rome is drawing them by emphasizing their common points and forcibly ignoring the differences. The Concordat which Liberal Christianity signed with Rome in 1994 is a good example, for the Protestant signers called Catholics their "brothers" in Christ and promised not to evangelize the Catholic faithful.
At a time in world history when so many other signs are pointing to the appearance of Antichrist, is this film designed to provide the final push toward the joining of Catholicism and Protestant Christianity? Having not seen the film, I cannot say. However, the portents do not seem good.
We find it highly significant that this occult-based "Passion" movie is hitting our society only five months after ABC News aired the documentary in which the Merovingian Bloodline lie was taken out of the hidden recesses of secret societies and broadcast to the entire world [NEWS1872]. Antichrist cannot arise unless he can prove to the Jews he has a lineage all the way back to King David. This Merovingian Bloodline lie makes this linkage possible. Therefore, as the world is moving steadily to fulfilling all the prophecies relating to Antichrist's appearance, we found it very significant that the Illuminati chose to expose this bloodline concept to all the peoples of the world.
Now, five months later, we see a very bloody, very brutal movie depicting Jesus' crucifixion, a movie that may be the outworking of the Illuminati Card Game, "Spear of Longinus". Now, we have a second major event possibly relating to the appearance of Antichrist. It is possible that this movie will have the "magical" effect of which this card speaks. We may very well see that this movie has such an impact on both Evangelical Christian and Roman Catholic that a supernatural spirit may move among them to fuse them together! If this occurs, the world will have taken a huge "Paradigm Shift" toward a global religion, in fulfillment of Bible prophecy.
One subscriber called to ask if this movie might prove to be the beginning
of the "strong delusion" [2 Thess 2:11] God sends upon people at
the End of the Age, so they will believe the lie. My answer is, this might
be possible. Think carefully and pray earnestly before you decide to see "The
Passion".
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.
If you have accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Savior, but have been very lukewarm in your spiritual walk with Him, you need to immediately ask Him for forgiveness and for renewal. He will instantly forgive you, and fill your heart with the joy of the Holy Spirit. Then, you need to begin a daily walk of prayer and personal Bible Study.
If you have never accepted Jesus Christ as Savior, but have come to realize His reality and the approaching End of the Age, and want to accept His FREE Gift of Eternal Life, you can also do so now, in the privacy of your home. Once you accept Him as Savior, you are spiritually Born Again, and are as assured of Heaven as if you were already there. Then, you can rest assured that the Kingdom of Antichrist will not touch you spiritually.
If you would like to become Born Again, turn to our Salvation Page now.
We hope you have been blessed by this ministry, which seeks to educate and warn people, so that they can see the coming New World Order -- Kingdom of Antichrist -- in their daily news.
Finally, we would love to hear from you.
