The Holy Bible
"But
I Will Never Be A Widow"
How
much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously; So
much torment and sorrow give her: For she saith in her
heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no
sorrow.
Book
of Revelation
18:7
And the Catholic Church glorified herself with pride and
haughtiness, "exalting herself
above all emperors, kings, and princes, above all kingdoms
and states, and also above all churches, assuming arrogant
titles, and even blasphemous names." 1 Her
clerical bourgeoisie popes, cardinals,
archbishops, bishops, priests, monks, friars and nuns lived in
luxury and opulence, some being clothed in purple and scarlet, and in gold and
silver. The Catholic church is drunk
with the wine of abominable
teachings, sin, and deception that
intoxicates people and dulls their senses to the truth
of the Savior's Word. The time has come to torment her with all the means
possible:
exposing her satanic sins of predator
priests by raising
public-awareness, whistle-blowing,
self-introspection,
truth
and bring about her downfall with
litigation, compensation and bankruptcy.
R. Kimchi on Obadiah,
writes, "When Rome (Edom) shall be devastated, there
shall be redemption to Israel." Romish idolatries have
been the great stumbling-blocks to acceptance of
Christianity by Jews.
As she arrogantly glorified herself and
lived luxuriously while countless millions
toiled in servitude, so give her the same measure of torment and
affliction by
stripping her of her fine clothes and rich apparel and
financial sources.
"for she saith in her
heart, I sit a queen;
a lady of kingdoms, as in (Isaiah 47:5) to which the reference is; having a temporal power
and authority over the kings of the earth, and a spiritual
jurisdiction over all churches, apostate ones, being the
mother of harlots; and her "sitting" as such, as
it well agrees with the whore on many waters, and the woman
on the scarlet coloured beast and seven mountains, who are
all the same, and is very suitable to antichrist, who
pretends to sit in Peter's chair, and does sit in the temple
of God, as if he was God; so it is expressive of her empire
and government over nations and churches, and of the
continuance of it, as she imagines, see (Isaiah 47:7) and so the Ethiopic version renders it, "I
shall reign always": to which she adds,
and am no widow;
nor never shall be, as she flatters herself, see (Isaiah
47:8). Were she the true spouse of Christ, as she
boasts herself, she indeed would be no widow, for Christ is
an everlasting and never dying husband; but she is the whore
of the kings of the earth, and though she fancies she shall
be no widow, that is, bereft of people and power, see
(Lamentations 1:1) because she now sits on many waters, people,
multitudes, and nations and tongues; yet ere long, like old
Babylon, she will have no men in her, but will be inhabited
by devils, foul spirits, and hateful birds:" 2

Signorelli's
depiction of the Antichrist as Jesus' demonic twin.
In
Crossing the Threshold of Hope, by Pope John Paul II, in the
first chapter, page 3, you will find that, 'The pope is considered the
man on earth who represents the Son of God, who "takes the
place" of the Second Person of the omnipotent God of the Trinity.

"The
papacy is the last of the ancient autocracies, the only one
where the autocrat himself has preserved his essential
powers intact. Caesars and tsars, kaisers and Holy Roman
Emperors, mikados and sultans and moguls have vanished or
shrunken into mere constitutional functionaries, no more
significant today than the high priests of the Israelites or
the Pharaohs of ancient Egypt. But the pope is still there,
and a larger congregation than ever before over one
billion people of all races acknowledge his spiritual
sovereignty."

The Vatican
City, an independent nation, is reigning like a queen under
absolutely surety that she will never be a widow: "The world power is
my husband and my supporter." She will
never be a widow as a male pope will always replace any
death. Forever she is assured of more than willing suitors.
The Eternal City is absolutely assured of perpetual reign. The Whore of Babylon will always be provided with a desirous
male and thus will see no sorrow! So far she has had 263
husbands and a score of lovers (antipopes). Surely this
Queen of Harlots has lived a lewd and lecherously life of
wanton abandon, as she devised new methods of manipulating
humankind away from the power and glory of the living God.
"Students
of the Bible and those who study sacred works from other
spiritual paths and traditions have long been aware that a
great war exists between the Powers of Darkness and the
Forces of Light that began in the most ancient of days.
According to Judeo-Christian tradition, the arrogant angel
Lucifer led a rebellion against the living God, who would
not allow the angels to "be as gods" before the
fullness of evolved time. Although they were defeated in
heaven, the higher dimensions of being, the so-called Fallen
Angels, continue their rebellion here on Earth as demons,
Angels of Darkness, tirelessly seeking power and endlessly
devising new methods of manipulating humankind away from the
power and glory of the living God.
Some
contemporary theologians warn that we are fast approaching a
period of transition, a crisis point, the time of
Armageddon, a kind of final all-out struggle between the
Powers of Darkness and Forces of Light.
Although
mortal minds are quite unlikely ever to understand the true
significance of this great climatic battle, many religious
schools suggest that the coveted prize of this primeval
warfare may well be the souls of humankind. Therefore, these
same scholars warn, as the time for this ultimate warfare
draws near, what better prize could there be to hang in the
balance than the souls of Earth's children?" 4
