The Pagan Promised Redeemer. Mystery Babylon Secret Societies, part 4 - Pastor David

.




Secret societies were also looking the sudden appearance of a Promised Redeemer. However, their Promised Redeemer was not the One promised through Biblical prophecy; rather, their Promised Redeemer was a man who had reached perfection upon whom the ultimate Christ Consciousness would descend at the right moment in world history to lead the world into its foreseen "Golden Age". In other words, this counterfeit Christ for whom the Pagans were awaiting is the Anti-Christ. Satan had cleverly dispersed the prophecy of the coming Redeemer in many secret societies of that day. The Wise Men who came to Bethlehem seeking the king which had been born, had been awaiting for the Pagan Redeemer. More specifically, they were knowledgeable of the remarkably precise prophecy in Daniel 9:24-26, and they realized the world was within a man's lifetime of fulfillment. These men were members of the Pagan sect called the Zoroasters. This Persian sect were among the Wise Men of Babylon in Daniel 2:1-18. In fact, these Pagans classified Daniel as being a Wise Man in the same mold from which they were cast; as such they were very familiar with Daniel's writings, including the prophecy of the Seventy Weeks of years in Daniel 9:24-26.

The Jewish secret society, the Kabbalah, were looking for a Promised Redeemer of the same type as other secret societies. These Jews were awaiting for a man to arise from within a secret society, a mighty, rich ruler king in Israel, a warrior who would triumphantly lead Israel out of Gentile domination, ruling from the House of David forever.

They were horrified when Jesus' birth was announced to humble shepherds instead of to the ruling council of the Kabbalah. They rejected the very idea that the Promised Redeemer could possibly be born to peasant parents in a stable. Oh, no, their Redeemer would be born of secret society parents, who were wealthy, influential, and powerful. And, surely, this Redeemer would be born in a palace. Thus, they initially rejected the idea that Jesus could be the Christ.

Later, when Jesus began His ministry, these Jewish Kabbalists were further horrified at the prospect that Jesus might be the Promised Redeemer. In addition to his humble background, Jesus revealed hidden spiritual truth directly to the masses of the people. The Pharisees knew Jesus had learned the truth contained within the Old Testament; they assumed Jesus had learned it from a secret society somewhere. However, Jesus was not keeping these truths secret from the masses, but was eagerly and daily revealing it to them. Remember, secret societies require their members to keep all the secrets to which they have been exposed absolutely to themselves. The severe oaths, which every member of secret societies take, call for painful death to be executed if anyone revealed any secrets of the society to a nonmember. Thus, the Pharisees believed Jesus to be worthy of a severe and painful death.

Members of secret societies loathed the average citizen. They deliberately attempted to mislead them spiritually, and they built up social barriers to keep the masses separate from the members of the societies. Thus, when Jesus began to associate with the common people, and especially with the most sinful of the common people, the Pharisees knew Jesus could not be their Promised Redeemer. The Pharisees had carefully mislead the common people through the creation of the Talmud. The daily living restrictions of Talmudic law were so restrictive as to bind the people in absolute bondage to the Pharisees. The Talmud had also hid God's Divine Truth contained within the books of Moses. And Jesus responded dramatically to these "Traditions of Men", condemning them with extremely strong words. The Pharisees counterattacked with plots to kill Him.

Pharisees Hid the Truth. Mystery Babylon Secret Societies, part 3 - Pastor David

.


A key characteristic of secret society members is that they will deceive the common people of key truth, especially the truth of how to obtain eternal salvation; rather, they will keep this truth to themselves, as a means of power and privilege. Jesus spoke directly to this terrible situation in Luke 11:52, "Woe unto you, lawyers! for ye have taken away the key of knowledge: ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered." The teachers and lawyers of the Law knew the simple truth that God had developed for people to be saved for eternity and to develop a love for Him. Yet, they hid this simple truth from the people, substituting the terribly suffocating system of daily rules of living against which Jesus so railed.

Matthew 23:27-28 says, "Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchers, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness. Even so, ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and uncleanness." The Pharisee had cleverly and effectively hidden the existence of these Satanic beliefs from their subjects, but could not hide it from the Omniscient Eyes of Jesus who is God.

Since the Pharisees believed man to be inherently good, they developed a system of salvation based upon works. This system of works was later to be called the Talmud; however, Jesus kept referring to it as the "Traditions of Men". The Bible clearly teaches, however, that man is inherently evil; therefore, there is absolutely no way that man can perform enough good works to completely atone for his evil. Jesus left no doubt that the Pharisees had concocted this system of works.

Both Pagan and true Judaic scholars were looking for a Messiah King to arise to lead mankind into new spiritual light and a new material prosperity. However, the pagans of the secret societies were looking for a Promised Redeemer which was far different than what the Bible taught was to come. Consequently, the people were badly misinformed as to what the true Redeemer was going to accomplish. They were looking for the King Redeemer, not ever being told that much Messianic prophecy was "Suffering Servant". They were looking for a King, but they got a Suffering Servant, and the vast majority missed Him!

Kabbalah Infiltrates Judaism. Mystery Babylon Secret Societies, part 2 - Pastor David

.



Realize, that TWO systems of Jewish oral teachings were created, one public and one secret. In the many centuries before the LORD Jesus Christ came in the flesh, this deadly virus penetrated Jewish religious leaders. These Jewish leaders were dabbling in the occult. A Jewish secret oral tradition began to be developed and put forward, distinctly separate from God's WRITTEN Word. The public teaching dealt with the affairs of everyday life, such as laws on buying and selling and making contracts, and what constituted work on the Sabbath; this practical law was later called the Talmud. The LORD Jesus strongly railed against these man-made laws upon the people, because it bound them so tightly to the priests. And, these standards were not from God; they were man-made so that the priests could control the people.

So, here we have, the Jewish priesthood, formulating a plan to bring all Jewish people into spiritual and physical bondage by creating this dual system of the public Talmud plus the very secret Kabbalah. The teachings of the public Talmud bound the people by almost 1,000 rules of everyday living and it began to move them away from the spiritual truth that God had revealed to Moses. Thus, an important requirement of a Mystery Babylon Secret Society was fulfilled: that of hiding the Truth from the people...partly by outright fabrication and partly by adding to God's Law.

Since Satan is the "lord of this World" he has the power to prosper those who follow and worship him. This was the bait that attracted those Jewish religious leaders to the Kabbalah. And, make no mistake about the fact that these Jewish leaders prospered greatly. Even though Israel was suffering under the bondage of Gentile rulers, such as Greece and Rome, the Jewish priests won a certain autonomy which enabled them to virtually rule dictatorially over their Jewish citizens. And, the common Jewish citizen simply did not understand that these religious leaders had foisted upon them a system which simultaneously put them under a yoke of bondage while elevating these leaders to positions of great power and wealth. And, the depth of misunderstanding was so great that the average Jewish citizen still greatly admired and honored these religious leaders who were so afflicting them.

Mystery Babylon Secret Societies, part 1 - Pastor David

.




Secret societies can be traced back to the Satanic king of ancient Babylon, Nimrod. They were established after Nimrod was executed for the crime of publicly reinstating witchcraft and idolatry. To preserve this Satanic worship a secret system of Satanism had to be established.

Through secret societies, the Babylonian system of Satanism was preserved. From this system, Anti-Christ will arise, and will try to destroy God's system, as has been the plan from the beginning. Please watch this very important video message.

The Great Red Dragon...the Woman's Enemy. Revelation 12:3-4 - Pastor David

.




Revelation 12:3, “And another sign was seen in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his heads seven diadems”.

This "sign" also is seen "in heaven," and we are not left in any doubt as to what it signifies. Revelation 12:9 explains to us that "the great red dragon" is "that old serpent called the Devil (Slanderer) and Satan (Adversary)." He has seven heads and ten horns, and upon his heads seven diadems. These are the "signs" of the universality of earthly dominion: for Satan is the "prince of the power of the air" (Ephesians 2:2), "the prince of this world" (John 12:31; 14:30; 16:11). As such, the Lord did not dispute his claim (Luke 4:5-7). His colour is the colour of fire, and of blood. This is a "sign" of his cruelty and blood-thirstiness (John 8:44. 1 John 3:12), and of the war which he makes "in heaven" and "on earth." The heads and horns and crowns are manifestly the "sign" of earthly power, gathered up in him: for to whomsoever he will he gives or delegates it (Luke 4:6-7; Revelation 13:2). Here briefly is the authority and power of the woman's enemy set before us.

Revelation 12:4, “And his tail draggeth down the third part of the stars of heaven, and he cast them to the earth”.

So we have seen, “The Woman” is the "sign" of the Nation of Israel as a whole; and the object and action of the Devil could not be more clearly stated.

But HERE in Revelation 12:4, we are again taken BACK to the beginning of things; to Satan's first rebellion, and to the angels who fell with him. This is surely the "sign" of Satan's power among the angels; as the heads and horns are a "sign" of his power among men on the earth. It seems clear from this that the third part of angels followed him in his great rebellion.

Vindication of God's Primal Promise and Coming Judgment - Pastor David

.




And so it came to pass that today, (as we saw in our video entitled, "Woman and Child. Revelation 12:2"), Coma Berenice (the hair of Berenice), sits in the place of the woman and child..."the Desire of all nations." But long before the constellation had been changed, its real signification had been lost and perverted.

Naturally, when the promises and prophecies had been written down in the Scriptures of Truth, the meaning of the signs and constellations, and the very names by which God had called the stars, would fall into a state of disuse or inactivity, and became gradually forgotten. This would lead to the easy perversion of their meaning by those nations who did not possess the Word of God. Hence this constellation of the "woman and child" passed into the Babylonian and Egyptian mysteries under the names of "Isis and Horus"; and then, from the pagan mysteries, the picture passed into Romanism, with many other symbols and doctrines.

So closely is Romanism allied to Paganism, of which it is the outcome, that those who do not see the difference between Paganized Christianity and Bible Christianity, draw the false conclusion that Romanism is merely a corruption of Christianity, whereas it is little more than Christianized Paganism. Hence it was that, the real meaning of "the woman and child" having been lost, the symbol was then Paganized, and it is now believed that representations of it as being "Isis and Horus" were so common, long prior to Christianity, that "there was not a house where it was not found."

THEN, many of these Pagan symbols, rites, and ceremonies were brought INTO "Christianity" by the Greek “church” Fathers, who were converts from Paganism, and had not renounced or lost their teaching and training. So NOW, what we have here, in Revelation 12 is the fact that God is going right back to the beginning, and in spite of all the opposition of Satan and the perversion of Primitive Truth by paganism, He is showing us His purpose in this closing book of Inspiration, which is to take us back to the causes of the great Apostacy, and onward through the great Apostacy, which is close upon us, to its final confusion and destruction.

This is why we have, here, GOD’s vindication of those "Signs" by which He first promulgated His great primeval promise, and His own Revelation as to its final accomplishment in the crushing of the serpent's head.

Ok, it is clear, so far, that the woman is the "sign" of Israel, viewed as representing the nation as a whole. Israel is thus personified, with the marks, which characterize the nation in its constitution and in its hope.

Having now given the great "sign" of the "woman," we next have "another sign in heaven", the woman's enemy.
