The Seven Churches or The Seven Church Ages
There is no such thing as a “Queen of Heaven” and worship of such is plainly idolatry. In this matter the pagans are more righteous than those who call themselves “Christians” because they don’t resort to deception to gain followers.
Here is where Satan has deceived the whole world about who are Christians and corrupted true Christianity in the same move by renaming the pagan goddess involved in the worship to the Virgin Mary that everyone would respect and adore through ignorance. A brilliant con by the father of liars! With those in the Catholic Church carrying out the murderous lusts and lies of the devil, it is sufficient proof that the Catholic Church is of the devil.
- Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
The worship of the “Queen of Heaven” has been going on since ancient times, even the “wafers” that the Catholic Church pretends is the body of Jesus and the wine that they pour out pretending it is the blood of Jesus are ancient traditions in the worship of the “Queen of Heaven” who originally was the pagans’ goddess and still is. Only the names have changed. Nobody cares if lost people do this but when God’s people do this, they break the First Commandment.
- Therefore pray not thou for this people, neither lift up cry nor prayer for them, neither make intercession to me: for I will not hear thee.
- Seest thou not what they do in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem?
- The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead their dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto other gods, that they may provoke me to anger.
- Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
- And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.
Satan wants to be worshipped as God is his main purpose. But he cannot be God until he destroys God and His people.
- And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.
- And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it.
- If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine.
- And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,
- And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.
- And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
- And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.
- How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!
- For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
- I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.
The Catholic Church is promoting Mary worship for the main reason that it brings in enormous wealth. When so many Catholic leaders don’t even believe in God, as revealed in “Part One,” it’s even more unlikely that they believe in the “Mother of God” that they’re promoting. Because of the Christianizing of major parts of the world, they are promoting Mary now instead of Diana to fool the people with the fake solemnity of holy worship. As seen in “Part One” of this series, the Catholic Church has made an enormous sum of money on this scam and they aren’t interested in ending it.
- For a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith, which made silver shrines for Diana, brought no small gain unto the craftsmen;
- Whom he called together with the workmen of like occupation, and said, Sirs, ye know that by this craft we have our wealth.
- Moreover ye see and hear, that not alone at Ephesus, but almost throughout all Asia, this Paul hath persuaded and turned away much people, saying that they be no gods, which are made with hands:
- So that not only this our craft is in danger to be set at nought; but also that the temple of the great goddess Diana should be despised, and her magnificence should be destroyed, whom all Asia and the world worshippeth.
- And when they heard these sayings, they were full of wrath, and cried out, saying, Great is Diana of the Ephesians.
The lie being promoted by the Catholic Church is that Mary is holy and a virgin. Besides the fact that all creatures are corrupt, Mary dismisses any notion of holiness when she acknowledges her need for salvation as any other sinner.
Mary, also known as St. Mary the Virgin, the Blessed Virgin Mary, Saint Mary, Mary Mother of God or the Virgin Mary is believed by many to be the greatest of all Christian saints. The Virgin Mother “was, after her Son, exalted by divine grace above all angels and men.”
Mary is venerated with a special cult, called by St. Thomas Aquinas, hyperdulia, as the holiest of all creatures. The main events of her life are celebrated as liturgical feasts of the universal Church.
- Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.
- And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord,
- And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.
Mary is not a “perpetual virgin” as the goddess Diana was. After Jesus was born, Joseph fathered children with her. Diana is also the moon goddess that the Muslims might be worshipping and the underworld goddess that the Satanists might be worshipping.
- Is not this the carpenter’s son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas?
- Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended at him.
- With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.
In his war against God’s people, Satan has enlisted the eager aid of modern day Pharisees posing as church leaders in various capacities who love to meddle in the personal affairs of their congregations instead minding their own businesses as commanded by the very bible they preach.
- And that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you;
- Then spake Jesus to the multitude, and to his disciples,
- Saying, The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat:
- All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not.
- For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers.
One of the greatest sins that a Christian can do against God is the sin of fornication which carries a death sentence for those who practice it, like the 23,000 who God killed for fornication. Therefore there is a lot of fear associated with this sin and rightly so, for it involves an intimate relationship with Satan. But Satan has completely reversed the direction of the sin away from him and back onto the unwitting Christian who doesn’t know or believe his bible, providing yet another demonic tool with which to weaken the power of a Christian.
- Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand.
- Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters?
- Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life?
Jesus said that if your wife, a woman married to you, was committing fornication, that you are excused to put her away or divorce her. Apparently most sinners think that God must have erred here but He didn’t err when He condemned fornication. The problem with sinners is that they are double-minded and will never come to the truth.
- A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.
- Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.
- And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.
Furthermore God expects men and women to use each other as He created that use to be “natural.” Only a Pharisee would convert that “natural use” into a death sentence.
- And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
In Genesis, Isaac is a type of the Son and Rebekah is a type of the church, which typifies a future event when God the Son “takes” the church to be His bride. In neither case is there any money, license or paperwork. Consensual sex makes the marriage, not the sin. Who among you is going to call either case “fornication” except he be a Pharisee?
- And Isaac brought her into his mother Sarah’s tent, and took Rebekah, and she became his wife; and he loved her: and Isaac was comforted after his mother’s death.
- But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This fellow doth not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the prince of the devils.
Just as the husband is a type of Christ, his wife is a type of the church and the husband’s body is a type of the church also, signifying the oneness of the husband and wife who becomes a part of that body as it is with Christ and His church. The marriage of a man and woman is also a type of the marriage of Christ with His church.
- Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.
- For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.
- Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.
- Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;
- That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,
- That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.
- So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself.
- For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church:
- For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
- Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.
If you are saved, you already have been “taken” by the Holy Ghost where your soul and spirit have “divided asunder” or “cleaved” as a meat cleaver would do and the Holy Ghost enters your body by your invitation. Even here the type signifying this is the “natural use” of a man’s and woman’s bodies, forming a union of “one flesh” — the husband’s body where the wife assumes his name as a result.
The world and its Pharisees will tell you that “cleave” means to cling. How many men have “clung to” or hugged a woman and yet remain unmarried? Isaac and Rebekah went into his deceased mother’s tent; he penetrated her body in type as the Holy Ghost does, “cleaving” unto her, and “she became his wife.”
- Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.
- This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him;
- Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created.
It’s an oxymoron and a fraud to define fornication as “unmarried consensual sex” when it is consensual sex that creates the marriage. Keep in mind that the devil wants you to corrupt your body, the temple of God, so that God will destroy it. So he will keep the truth from you by downplaying fornication as just plain unmarried sex — no big deal. The Pharisees, on the other hand, will keep the truth from you in an attempt to control your life, your friends, and your money by subjecting you to the fear of hellfire.
- Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid.
- What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh.
- But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.
- Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.
- What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
- For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.
Before we proceed further, it would be well to reveal that a harlot is not a whore but rather is a temple prostitute required by tradition of her people and usually not by her own free will. The money she makes as a voluntary offering is sacrificed to the goddess. As such she commonly covers herself so as to avoid identification and harassment outside the temple. But as a harlot she not only makes sacrifices but acts as an agent of the goddess she represents and those having sex with her become “one flesh” with the represented goddess, although in every case the disguised gods/goddesses, including Mary, are Satan and his angels. Thus temple patrons become “one flesh” with the devil.
- They sacrifice upon the tops of the mountains, and burn incense upon the hills, under oaks and poplars and elms, because the shadow thereof is good: therefore your daughters shall commit whoredom, and your spouses shall commit adultery.
- I will not punish your daughters when they commit whoredom, nor your spouses when they commit adultery: for themselves are separated with whores, and they sacrifice with harlots: therefore the people that doth not understand shall fall.
- And it was told Tamar, saying, Behold thy father in law goeth up to Timnath to shear his sheep.
- And she put her widow’s garments off from her, and covered her with a vail, and wrapped herself, and sat in an open place, which is by the way to Timnath; for she saw that Shelah was grown, and she was not given unto him to wife.
- When Judah saw her, he thought her to be an harlot; because she had covered her face.
- And he turned unto her by the way, and said, Go to, I pray thee, let me come in unto thee; (for he knew not that she was his daughter in law.) And she said, What wilt thou give me, that thou mayest come in unto me?
Only the Holy Ghost will reveal the truth to you through the word of God which the world will admit and even expects that a “sacred” sexual relationship with a god/goddess will take place during the worship of its gods/goddesses. As noted earlier, sexual relationships create marriages.
Fornication is one of five sins of idolatry which entails the worship of a false god.
- Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:
Here’s why fornication is so terrible that God will destroy the Christian’s body. God bought you with a price, that price being the lifeblood of His only begotten Son. Because your body belongs to God, His Holy Ghost lives in your body as His temple. When you join your body to an agent (harlot) of a god/goddess (Satan), you are joining that which is absolutely holy (the Holy Ghost) to that which is absolutely unholy (Satan).
Such a terrible thing cannot exist which is why God destroyed 23,000 people who did so. Anytime you confront the Holy Ghost with Satan, death will result. Fornication is not unmarried sex — it’s much worst.
- But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession,
- And kept back part of the price, his wife also being privy to it, and brought a certain part, and laid it at the apostles’ feet.
- But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land?
- Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God.
- And Ananias hearing these words fell down, and gave up the ghost: and great fear came on all them that heard these things.
- And the young men arose, wound him up, and carried him out, and buried him.
- And it was about the space of three hours after, when his wife, not knowing what was done, came in.
- And Peter answered unto her, Tell me whether ye sold the land for so much? And she said, Yea, for so much.
- Then Peter said unto her, How is it that ye have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? behold, the feet of them which have buried thy husband are at the door, and shall carry thee out.
- Then fell she down straightway at his feet, and yielded up the ghost: and the young men came in, and found her dead, and, carrying her forth, buried her by her husband.
- And great fear came upon all the church, and upon as many as heard these things.
