Here is the
dictionary definition of the word Jesuit and Jesuitism BEFORE the dictionary
was OWNED by the Jesuits:
JESUIT, n.One of the society of Jesus, so called, founded by Ignatius Loyola; a society remarkable for their cunning in propagating their principles. ((Webster's 1828 Dictionary).JESUITISM, n. The arts, principles and practices of the Jesuits.1. Cunning, deceit; hypocrisy; prevarication; deceptive practices to effect a purpose. (Webster 1828 Dictionary).
St. Paul said
that 2 things MUST happen FIRST before the end of the world:
1. | A falling away or apostasy from Apostolic Christianity. |
2. | The Antichrist or Man of Sin to be revealed. |
Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.
Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? And now ye know what withholdeth (restrains) that he might be revealed in his time.
For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.
And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming. (II Thessalonians 2:1-12).
ALL of the
Reformers applied this prophecy to the PAPAL DYNASTY. Saint Martin Luther said:
Oh Christ, my Lord, look down upon us and bring upon us the day of judgment, and destroy the brood of Satan at Rome. There sits the Man, of whom the Apostle Paul wrote that he would oppose and exalt himself above all that is called God — the Man of Sin, the son of perdition . . . What is the Temple of God? Is it stones and wood? Did not Paul say, The Temple of God is holy, which Temple ye are? To sit — what is it but to reign, to teach and to judge. Who from the beginning of the church has dared to call himself master of the whole church but the Pope alone. None of the saints, none of the heretics ever uttered so horrible a word of pride. (Luther's Works, Vol. 2. p. 281).
To the Reformers,
the Man of Sin was synonymous with the Antichrist. Saint Martin Luther also
said:
Antichrist is the pope and the Turk together; a beast full of life must have a body and soul; the spirit or soul of antichrist is the pope, his flesh or body the Turk. The latter wastes and assails and persecutes God's church corporally; the former spiritually and corporally too, with hanging, burning, murdering, &c. But, as in the apostle's time, the church had the victory over the Jews and Romans, so now will she keep the field firm and solid against the hypocrisy and idolatry of the pope, and the tyranny and devastations of the Turk and her other enemies. (Table Talk of Saint Martin Luther, p. 193).
This was the
standard Protestant exposition of the Book of Revelation, and millions of Latin
Church members were turning from Antichrist to Christ as they saw the clear
fulfillment of Bible prophecy. Joshua the Messiah said:
And now I have told you before it comes to pass, that, WHEN it comes to pass, ye might believe (John 14:29).
This prophetic
teaching (historicist) was playing havoc with the Latin Church. Millions were
escaping and obeying the Lord's command to "come out of her" (Rev.
18:4).
The Rapture or Millions Missing hoax!!
In order to
stop the hemorrhage from Papal Rome, 2 Jesuits invented a counter-interpretation
called FUTURISM.
Francisco de Ribera, S.J. (1537-1591). |
|
Cardinal Robert Bellarmine, S.J. (1542-1621). |
Francisco Ribera
was a Spanish doctor of theology who wrote a 500 page Latin commentary on Revelation
(Apocalypse) entitled: In Sacrum Beati Ioannis Apostoli, & Evangelistiae
Apocalypsin Commentarij, and published it about the year 1590....This commentary
was never translated into any other language and was for the eyes of the hierarchy
only!!
Robert Bellarmine
was an Italian doctor of theology and is best known for his opposition to fellow
Jesuit Galileo and his HELLiocentric theory.
He also wrote a book in Latin entitled: Disputationes de controversiis christianae
fidei, or Polemic Lectures Concerning the Disputed Points of the Christian
Belief Against the Heretics of This Time. This book follows the basic outline
of Francisco de Ribera's book with the reign of Antichrist limited to a few
years way off in the future before the end of time.
In the Futurism
system of Ribera and Bellarmine, Antichrist is an evil superman who emerges
just 7 years before the end of time and causes all kinds of havoc.
In the English
speaking world, Edward Irving and John Nelson Darby further elaborated on this
system by inventing a secret rapture 7 years before the end. They correctly
taught that the Christians are restraining evil—in this case Protestant
Christians— who will be removed from the earth before the Antichrist will
be revealed. In popular literature it is called the Rapture or catching away!!
Those who are
LEFT BEHIND will get another chance to be saved ... if they choose
death rather that accept the mark of the beast!!

If you think
this is some kind of hoax or fantasy think again....This teaching is held by
millions of "Protestant" Christians and is the foundation of a multi-million
dollar publishing and movie empire.
The Pope and
Caliph LOVE this fantasy because it blinds the believers to the PRESENT Antichrist!
According to
the Futurist FANTASY:
1. | Antichrist was one man . . . not a dynasty. |
2. | He would be an atheist or infidel. |
3. | He would not be revealed until 7 years before the end of time. |
4. | He would sit in a rebuilt temple in Jerusalem and make a covenant with the Jews. |
5. | He would call himself God etc., etc. |
6. | The Christians were hindering his appearance but they would be "caught up" or raptured to Heaven before his appearance—the "Left Behind" madness!! |
This Futurist
fantasy was/is a fantastic money-maker.
Hal Lindsey and C.C. Carlson
The first book
to really bring Futurism to the masses was a book entitled The Late Great
Planet Earth by Hal Lindsey and C.C. Carlson which appeared in 197O. That
book has sold over 35 million copies and was translated into 54 languages.
Hal Lindsey
is known as the father of modern "Bible" prophecy. His famous Late
Great Planet Earth sold over 35 million copies and spawned the billion
dollar end-times industry, whose books and videos repeat his dispensational
theme, and are patterned after his novel writing style. Lindsey actually is
a Jesuit in disguise as 2 of his daughters attended Jesuit Gonzaga University.
Hal Lindsey, father of modern "Bible" prophecy. |

The mysterious C.C. Carlson, who was the ghostwriter for Lindsey's books, turns out to be a woman—and most probably a nun in disguise!! |
The mysterious
C. C. Carlson—ghostwriter for Lindsey's book's—finally turns out
to be a woman....She should be called the MOTHER of modern "Bible"
prophecy.
In Protestant
Christianity, it is very unusual for a woman to write a prophecy book. Prior
to 1971, you could count them on one hand. Edward Elliott and Charles Spurgeon
surveyed history and listed the best expositors in Horae Apocalypticae
and Commentating on Commentators. Neither man mentioned a woman.
|
According to
Lindsey, the Antichrist will be ONE man who will make a 7 year covenant with
the "Jews." 31/2 years into his reign he will break his covenant,
persecute the Jews, conquer the world, and finally be destroyed by Christ in
a literal battle called Armageddon.
That is a brief
synopsis of the entire Futurist fantasy.
Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins
When it became
apparent that Futurism was the road that led to fame and riches, many jumped
on this "Bible" prophecy bandwagon....2 of the most famous false profits
are "Reverend" Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins who originated the
Left Behind publishing empire.
"Reverend" Tim LaHaye. |
|
Jerry B. Jenkins. |
These men are
laughing all the way to the bank due to the phenomenal success of their
Left Behind series. Most libraries in the U.S. have copies of their books
. . . but fortunately they are listed under "Christian" FICTION.
In their books,
the Rapture has already taken place and the hero and heroine battle the evil
Antichrist named Nicolae Carpathia from the country of Romania!!
The
phenomenally successful Left Behind series features over 8 full length
books and 2 Hollywood movies. These books were almost as successful as the Harry
Potter books.
