In the ongoing battle between the "City of God"
and the "City of Satan"; Jerusalem and Rome are
the logistical locales of the supernatural battle between the
angels of Heaven, and the angels of Hell.
Rome is known as the "Eternal City", and as the
"Seven Hilled City". Rome was the reigning empire
when Jesus was born into this world.
Jerusalem is known as the "City of Peace", and as
the "City of David", and as the “City of God”. Jerusalem was in subjection to
the city of Rome when Jesus was born. Herod was the King of
the Jews only because he was in allegiance to Rome.
Herod prostituted himself and the Jews to Rome
in his aspiring to acclaim the Kingdom of Israel.
Vatican City, within the city of Rome covers about 109 acres
and serves as the spiritual and governmental center
of the largest Christian church in the world, " The
Roman Catholic Church"; or the Universal Church.
Vatican Hill was once the site of Roman Emperor
Nero's public gardens and circus. Many of the early
Christians suffered martyrdom on that very site. St.
Peters Basilica actually occupies the location of the
most blood-stained site for Christians during the era
of the old Roman Empire.
The palace that the Pope lives in contains over
1000 rooms, including museums, banks, art gallery's,
chapels, library's, and government offices availing
the Pope to have ambassadors to every nation on
earth, as well as every religious council in the world.
John, the Revelator identified Rome as being that
great city which ruled over the kings of the earth way
back in his day in about 95AD. Unquestionably, Rome ruled with
absolute authority during the early period of church
history. John's specific sleight of hand reference to
Rome was intended to point out to future readers of
the Bible that an institution would arise in that very
city which would be easily identifiable as a whorish
mimicker of the true Bride of Christ, and would become
the imposter of true Christendom in later centuries.
Jerusalem is the only city in this world that God
has proclaimed that has his affection. It is to the
city of Jerusalem that Jesus shall someday return to, and not
to Rome, to an already established wealthy Church.
Psalms 132:13 For the Lord hath chosen Zion; he hath
desired it for his habitation.
Psalms 135:21 Blessed be the Lord out of Zion, which
dwelleth at Jerusalem. Praise ye the Lord.
John makes a connection with the false so-called Christian
church and ancient Babylon. In Revelation 17, verses 1-5,
he labels this institution as 'Mystery, Babylon". Notice the
comma after the word Mystery, and then afterwards comes the mention
of a bygone empire based upon religious works.
Jeremiah 51:7 indicates that religious Babylon hath been a
golden cup in the Lords hand, and consequently all the earth
and all the nations have became drunk of the wine which she has dispensed
through false and subtly perverted doctrine.
Babylon was destroyed by the Medes and Persians
in the 5th century B.C. and as a result, the priests
of the ancient Chaldean Mysteries moved from Babylon to
the city of Pergamos. John identified this city as the
city of Satan's Seat in Revelation 3:12-13. Now it is
imperative to realize that Satan is not omnipresent,
as God is, and can only be situated in one domicile
at a time. Pergamos represents his locale for logistical satanic
operations during the time that John wrote the book
of Revelations.
Rome acquired the city of Pergamos by decree of
Attalus III when he died and bequeathed his kingdom to
Rome's Caesar.
Thus the foundation was laid for Rome to eventually evolve
into the religious institution predominated by the ancient Babylon
styled Mysteries religious system.
The ancient Babylonian chief priest had carried the
title of "Pontifex Maximus" , and that title had been
transferred to Pergamos, and then on to Rome, when
Julius Caesar acquired the title by acquiring the throne
of Roman civil and religious offices.
Caesar appeared in official functions dressed in a
robe of scarlet and carrying the keys of Janus and
Cybele. It is the very decor that the Popes would array
themselves in, when Emperor Constantine combined
the secular office of Caesar and the chair of the Bishop of Rome.
When Emperor Theodosius decreed that membership in
the church was state mandated in 398AD, it effected the
worst calamity the true church has ever befallen. The
church of Rome became convoluted with the Babylonian icons
of Mystery and the Chaldean doctrinal pollutions.
Much like the church, Jerusalem had earlier fell to
cavorting with the Mysteries of Babylon. In Jeremiah's
day, Israel had become steeped in the worship of an icon
of Babylonish diety known as the "Queen of Heaven"
and her mystical son Tammuz.
Israel is depicted in Jeremiah chapter 44 worshiping
a purported Queen of Heaven who had availed the
world a saving son, and thus was known as the very
Mother of God.
Suspicious is it not, that the icons of Madonna
and Child were esteemed hundreds of years before
that little baby was born in Bethlehem, that was to
be the founder of a new religion called Christianity.
But then, God knew of this conspiratorial genius
of Satan to logistically prepare an immitation birth
of epic proportions which he would then utilize to fake,
and pass on an unsuspecting world as the real deal.
Satan's greatest masterpiece, is not to develope an
easily discernible false position, but to take that which Christ
has given and subtly change it into something that
he can entice throngs into accepting as legitimate.
The Roman Catholic Church is Satan's greatest
masterpiece, and he utilizes it by kneading together
Christian ideals with old Mysteries from the ancient
Babylonian pagan mythological religious system that is predicated
upon the idolizing of the seed of Satan himself.
The seven-hilled city mentioned by John in the
book of Revelation chapter 17:9; today commands the
subjection of universal Christiandom, as well dominating
the churches role in the discussion of Peace in Jerusalem.
Rome is obviously working in leauge with the
kings of this world to establish itself as the only
representative of Christiandom on this planet, and
consequently it is preoccupied with the eventual
status of Jerusalem. Make no mistake about it, Satan
also knows the significance of Jerusalem to end-time world
events.
The ages old attempt of Satan to establish a base
for a world kingdom was transplanted from ancient
Babel (which means "Gate to God"), to Rome via
the Turkish city of Pergamos.
Isaiah 14:13 Satan says; I will ascend into Heaven, I will
exalt my throne above the stars of God:
This is Satan's scheme, to become the universally
worshiped sovereign of mankind and the angels. You probably
remember when Satan offered out the tantalizing temptation to
Jesus of the Kingdoms of the whole Earth, if Jesus would only
acknowledge Lucifer as Lord.
So then, Satan is not interested in Atheism as an
ideal to establish his domain, but simply uses it to divert
worship away from God, but only for a time; until he can
erect a system of worship with himself being the
one enthroned and worshipped as God. This requires supplanting the
real Church with an imposter, or an apostate Church, and supplanting the Holy Bible with a Gospel altered to suit his own designs.
