THE WOUNDED HEAD

PART 5

February 1993

WE WERE SPEAKING OF HOW THE WORD ANTICHRIST STANDS OUT, EVEN THOUGH IT IS MENTIONED (THE WORD ITSELF) ONLY TWO OR THREE TIMES IN THE BIBLE; AND HOW THE ANTICHRIST MAN HIMSELF WILL END UP WHEN THE SEVENTIETH WEEK OF DANIEL CLOSES OUT; SO LET US CONTINUE ON WITH THAT THOUGHT.

FINAL STAGES OF ARMAGEDDON

As the seventieth week of Daniel's prophecy comes to a close and the forces of Armageddon are assembled there in the Jezreel valley, Jesus comes from heaven with His great army of redeemed saints; and all those who have gathered there to fight each other will suddenly turn their attention to what is descending upon them from heaven and prepare to do battle with Him; but that will be their end. Let us read three verses from the 19th chapter of Revelation. (19-21) "And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against Him that sat on the horse, and against His army. And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet (the antichrist) that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone. (That is the end of the antichrist.) And the remnant were slain with the sword of Him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of His mouth: (They will be slain with His word. There will be no physical engagement in battle with Him.) and all the fowls were filled with their flesh." Saints, just try to imagine what that beastly power will be like by then. If that scene should be as much as ten years from now, the lethal weapons of that hour will be far superior to what anyone has now. Think of ground to air missiles. Think of the supersonic jet fighter planes, bombers. Europe is going to have them. All those nations are going to combine their armies and there will be no longer a British army, a German army, a French army. It is going to be one army. They are going to be equipped with the best weaponry there is in that hour. That is why it says in the 13th chapter, when he is out of the water, symbolically speaking, and is in full power, they of the world will say, Who is able to make war against him? It is being said now as Europe comes into the spotlight of the world's industrial complex and market. They are saying Europe is destined to lead the world in one of the most competitive buying undertakings there has ever been. Therefore, she is bound to put forth weaponry of warfare that will be far superior to anything anyone has now. Of course, we know where they gained the knowledge of such technology; but she will not need the good old U.S.A. anymore. It will strictly be a European beast with the pope of Rome commanding it. So to the natural mind, who will be able to fight that monster? Who would dare declare war against him? The hour will be at hand for the fulfillment of the words of Jesus and the words of St. Paul in 2nd Thessalonians chapter 2 where he said this son of perdition, this man of sin, would be destroyed at the brightness of the coming of Jesus Christ and with the words of His mouth. What is the words of His mouth? It is described here in the 19th chapter that out of His mouth goes a sharp two edged sword, with it He would smith the nations. It is the word of judgment that will bring about destruction to those that oppose His coming to take over the reins of this world. (Revelation 19:20) "And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone." Therefore, verse 20 describes what will happen to the antichrist which is referred to here as the false prophet as the week of Daniel is coming to a climax. What Paul said is ready to become a fulfilled reality; and he (the antichrist) is going to be destroyed just like Paul said, as Jesus is revealed from heaven in flaming fire, taking vengeance on them that know not God, and them that have pleasure in unrighteousness. So Jesus zeros in on this man of sin, the world's antichrist, but here it says, "And the beast was taken." What are we looking at when it says that? It is not Jesus picking up this great monster of armies. No. He just reaches out and speaks to that spirit of Satan that has been embodied in such an empire and He casts it into the lake of fire for destruction. There is nothing there yet; but it has already been prepared for the devil and his angels. This tells me that once Jesus destroys the spirit that has been embodied in that thing, it is destined to become weakened. Then the next thing Jesus does is take care of the spirit that has motivated the false prophet. "And with him the false prophet." What are we looking at? You are looking at the spirit that is on the man that has conducted himself like the very devil for three and one half years. There he stands at the head of what he thought was the most powerful military force in the universe; and now the coming of Christ reaches out and takes it all away from him. Without those two spirits the beast is rendered helpless. From there on, Jesus can deal with the individual people represented in that system according to the plan of God. As for the antichrist man, you only find him referred to as the false prophet in the book of revelation. The apostle Paul never did refer to him as the false prophet. He referred to him as the man of sin, the son of perdition. The apostle John used the term antichrist in his little epistles; and Daniel called him a horn, a king, and the prince that shall come. Only when you get to Revelation 16:13, do you find the antichrist referred to as the false prophet. Notice, "And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, (The dragon speaks of Satan himself.) And out of the mouth of the beast, (The beast is that whole Western Europe conglomeration which is led by the antichrist.) And out of the mouth of the false prophet." Why will he be the world's false prophet? It is because the man, at the time all this is climaxing, is going to be so Satanic anointed he will be completely under the control of the devil; and God is going to allow him to deceive that great mass of people that has had no love for the truth; just like the apostle Paul said.

STRONG DELUSION GROSS DECEPTION AND DAMNATION

With the passing of time, it has become more evident what Paul meant in 2nd Thessalonians 2, when he spoke of the mystery of iniquity already working among believers and how it was being restrained until time for it to manifest. Let us read that in verses 3-12. "Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, (the day of our catching away) except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; (4) 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. (5) Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? (6) And now ye know what withholdeth (In other words, The Holy Spirit was holding back that spirit until it was time for it to be fully manifested in the end time.) that he might be revealed in his time. (7) For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. You can just observe what is going on around you and you will know that the restraining power of the Spirit of God is being lifted; and Satan is being allowed to anoint his vessels. And then shall that Wicked (or wicked one) be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of His mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: (That takes you right back to Revelation 19:20-21, which we read earlier.) Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, (here is the false prophet at work) And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: (If you fail to accept the truth, you will be a prime candidate for Satan's deceiving tactics.) That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness." Almost two thousand years ago, the apostle Paul wrote of how it would be in this very God rejecting generation we are now living in. Saints, I hope you can see it was the power of God that held back these evil forces until the time for that man of sin to be revealed. Paul concluded by saying, And because of this, or for this, God shall send them strong delusion, that they, (who are they? The world of make belief, self styled Christianity that has no framework, no foundation, no basis for what they believe. They do not know why they believe what they believe.) He will send them strong delusion that they may believe Satan's lie and be damned. Well, we can say this, the delusion has been going on for quite a while now. That is why from Rome, came the ecumenical spirit, that lovey-dovey spirit that says, Let us all be brothers. Then here came the Charismatic's, we will say, from the Protestant realm. What looks like the real outpouring of the Holy Ghost, with speaking in tongues and manifestations of the supernatural, in many instances is absolute deception. Here and there, now and then, there are individual people that get genuinely healed; and when there is a healing in some supernatural or out of the ordinary way, we have to say God did the healing; but even that in no way puts God's approval upon those who did the praying. The Spirit of God responds to the genuine faith of individual people even when everything around them is false. I have had occasions to read from some of these magazines that have writings about all these mysterious manifestations of the virgin Mary; and there is scattered evidence that certain individuals were healed at various times. We are not taking anything away from God; but we must be spiritual enough to realize, when God knows certain people are never going to follow truth, this is His way of sending them the strong delusion the apostle Paul wrote of. God can send forth His anointing to do for certain people just enough for them to be deceived by it when they love excitement more than truth. That leaves the whole group to follow Satan in his plan. You may say, that is not fair for God to do that. Well I say, when God gives a person or persons opportunity after opportunity to accept His truth and they still desire to run after excitement instead, He has every right to respond any way that will bring about the fulfillment of His word. If He chooses to bless someone and allow that blessing to contribute to them being deceived, it is because of their own choice. I can say one thing for sure, the devil does not heal. When Jesus healed a man that was possessed by demons and blind, they said, "This fellow doth not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the prince of the devils;" and Jesus answered them, "If Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how shall then his kingdom stand?" The healing has got to be of God. As for what we were saying about delusion, when God sees an element of people that has no interest in following Him, except for healing or some other physical benefit, God can take His power and do with it whatever He sees fit to and no one has any right to complain. He can cast me into hell if I will not follow Him in His word; and whose fault would it be? When you face reality, if all I want is something to benefit my flesh, that is where I will end up anyhow. He will let me enjoy that for a season; but the very fact He showed mercy to me in that, if I will not obey Him and allow myself to be brought to His word, (which is the foremost and primary purpose of all that God does for anyone) then He can cause that merciful thing He has done for me to be the very thing that will throw me out into the devil's junk yard. We are living in the last days; and it is separation time, therefore God can do with His power what He pleases, in order to separate some and perfect others. The separation Jesus spoke of in Matthew 13, will be accomplished by the word of God in some fashion. Did not the apostle Paul say in Ephesians 6:17, that the sword of the Spirit is the word of God? Then in Hebrews 4:12, he wrote, "For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged 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." In other words, the word of God is what draws the boundary line that separates the predestinated seed of God from the serpent seed so many churches are overrun with today. Therefore, when we see where Jesus will reach out (with the words of His mouth) and cast the spirit of the false prophet into the lake of fire, we should every one know it is because that spirit in him is a spirit of the devil. It is not because he is a drunk. Neither will it be because he has a John Dillinger type of spirit. It is a religious spirit of Satan: allowed to work through a man in such deceptive ways, the world for a short period of time, in the very closing hours of mortal mankind, will say, God is really speaking to him and through him. On the other hand, if a true Holy Ghost filled Christian from the average walk of life, would receive a vision from the Lord telling of some great tragedy that was going to take place in this country, if he ever even got a chance to tell it to anyone in Washington D.C., they would reject it because it did not come from a source of influential recognition acceptable to them. However, the moment the pope of Rome steps forth with a message he claims is from God, promising peace, prosperity, and security for all mankind, they will immediately jump to give him recognition, even though his vision will be from the devil, for the purpose of deceiving great masses of people. That is just the way it is. The scriptures declare it. That is what twentieth century mankind wants to hear; promises that speak of a life free from the worry of wars and plenty of everything for everyone. That is what God will allow the devil to manifest through his vessel; and the world will follow it. That is why Revelation 13:4, says, "And they (the deceived masses) worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? Who is able to make war with him?" I like to keep that verse before you because it shows where the power and anointing comes from in that hour of time. When it speaks of the dragon, that is a reference to the devil. Actually, it is devil worship; but it is devil worship in a manner that you do not call it Satanism; because they will not know it was the devil that gave the beast system and the false prophet the power that will be demonstrated. It is deception. We know what it is; but those multitudes that will be deceived will be believing they are seeing God manifest Himself through that certain man. Saints: I am thankful to God for truth. Praise His name!

TWO HORNED BEAST

IMAGE OF THE BEAST

AND

FATIMA VISION CONTINUED

Never in my life have I had as many magazine articles coming to me from various sources as I have had concerning this Fatima vision we have been dealing with. I received another one today, taken from a Library. The magazine was titled, The Lady of Fatima. This magazine has been published for several years. This particular issue came out in a certain month in the year 1986. Right at the time it looked like Russia, Poland, and all that was really bent on pushing themselves out. We were in a conflict in Latin America, Salvador, Nicaragua, and through there. All that was being sponsored by Russian Communism. That is why Cuba had their insurgents in there. As long as Communism in Russia was supporting Castro of Cuba, and his brand of Communism, Cuba thought they really had it made. They thought that spirit would carry on over into Latin America. However, the trend began to change, and the fall, or the breakup and the disorientation began to take place. I read earlier from two different magazines, and I was particularly interested in the one that dealt with President Reagan and the pope in the year 1982. When I read that in full, do you know they were the only two men that got their heads together as leaders and planned the formula for the breakup of the Russian Empire. They did not even confer with the heads of state of those European horns. When I read that, I said, anyone would have to be blind not to see what that points to. That lamb beast you read about in the last verses of the 13th chapter of Revelation has to be the United States of America. To think that after WW2, our leaders no longer thought like the leaders in former years did. More and more they began to make their plans for recognizing the Vatican. For what purpose? What was the purpose in recognizing the Vatican? Was it to bring about a revival in America? Absolutely not. But it was to begin the process of using America for the very image and purpose the scriptures tell us she will portray. Does it not say that this two horned lamb-like beast caused the world to worship the first beast that had been wounded by a sword and did live and also caused them to make an image to that beast? Yes, it was the United States of America, that played the big role in healing the wound the Roman popes had received from the sword of the Spirit of God through the Reformation. You find once again that voice of authority coming from the Vatican; and the nations that made up the ten horns of that first beast being joined back together in a trade agreement; which in process of time will give way to that beast rule once again. Oh Bro. Jackson, surely it could never come to that again. Oh yes, it will. The Bible says this lamb beast caused the whole world to worship the first beast. How? First let me point out that the two horns speak of two great powers that have evolved from this nation that came into being in such a humble way. She (America) came up out of the earth, hacking out a place in the wilderness, a place where people could be free from that old spirit that ruled Europe. Those founding fathers of this great nation used the Bible as their guide when they drew up the charter they would be governed by. Through the years, this nation has been looked upon as a Christian nation. Then in process of time she became recognized as a great political power and also a very powerful influence in the realm of religion, you have a two horned beast, scripturally speaking. This is the nation that has taken the lead in scientific miracles and has caused fire to come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men. It all fits the picture we find in Revelation 13. The two horns are political power and ecclesiastical power, through which this nation has had a major role in shaping world affairs, both politically and spiritually. Through the sponsorship of this very country, the ecumenical council of churches has been creating the image of that old Roman beast that ruled the world in the Dark Ages. You just wait until things really get tight and this council of churches will be just as diabolical as the old Roman system has ever been. True Holy Ghost filled children of God have nothing to do with any of that. It is the denominational churches that are promoting this overwhelming move toward universal brotherhood. We can all worship together (they say) just as long as we all believe in Jesus. We do not all have to see everything exactly the same way. That in itself makes the whole thing anti-scripture; because the Bible teaches that true believers will see things alike. You all need to be conscious of the identity of the lamb-like beast and of what the image of the first beast is as we move on in the message. While there was the period of time the papal power was weakened and Communism in Russia and eastern Europe dominated the scene and held the world at bay, yet at the right time the Catholic Church was right there waiting their hour. The hour when the blessed mother Mary, the lady of Fatima, would move on the scene and fulfill the prophecy given to those children in October 1917. The Catholic Church has been playing with that vision ever since then. The people of America, in the Protestant realm, did not know anything was going on. They did not know how to read the book they claim their faith is based upon. The Catholic Church has been so cunning with their plans, that the overall scope of protestantism has just played right into their hands. The Pentecostal people get so thrilled when they hear of a Catholic Priest or a nun speaking in tongues; they are ready to turn their pulpit over to them. It is all a Satanic plot. That is why I say, we are living in an hour of deception already; but their greatest deception is just ahead. The delusion is destined to multiply many times over to those that are to be deluded. They are going to become so intoxicated with the spirit of this thing coming into view, it is no wonder the Bible says they wind up worshipping the dragon. Not as some horned creature with a split tongue and forked tail; but as that angel of light they are looking for. That is definitely what he (the devil) has taken the image of Mary and used it for. She was a mortal human being just like anyone else and God chose her at a precise point of time to be the incubator through which He would bring forth His only begotten Son; but nowhere in the scriptures do we find that she arose from the dead and ascended into heaven to intercede for us. That Satanic spirit has caused poor deceived souls to highly exalt her above everything else in the universe. They call her the queen of heaven, the mother of God. These various writings that I have been given, from the ends of the earth, they are all claiming the virgin Mary has appeared in various places. In another place in Spain in 1961 and 1965, again the virgin Mary appeared to some people and left a message warning the people, telling them they had not done what the mother Mary had told them to do in 1917; which of course was to pray much, praying the rosary, and dedicating Russia to her (Mary's) heart. You would think Protestant people would know better than to fall for anything that exalts Mary above Jesus; but most of them are in such an acute state of apostasy, they are falling for all of this promotion of Mary. Apostate Protestantism, regardless of how educated they may be, do not even know what time it is, spiritually speaking. I believe the devil will use this Mary image to lure multitudes of people into his trap. We should all realize that this is something that bears watching from now on until the end. I am absolutely certain it was not the Spirit of God talking to the pope while he was recovering in his home back in 1981. It was the spirit of Satan preparing his future vessel for service the very same way he prepared the Roman emperor Constantine, when he showed him the great sign of the cross and the words appeared, "By this thou shalt conquer and shall overcome." Sure, to him it was real. It caused him to triumph. It also caused him to do something that put the Church in a trap. The devil knows exactly how to trap people. I have to say, it is very probable that this present pope in Rome is destined to step out on the balcony like he has always done, but will stand and tell or read to the people an experience he has had during the night; how the blessed virgin Mary has appeared to him and said, "Now take over the reins of the world." Protestant preachers will go after it hook, line and sinker; because they have no revelation of what is in the word of God. They just simply do not know how to put the picture together, so they are merely waiting for God to come on the scene in a supernatural way that far exceeds whatever they have imagined God could do; and when they see what is coming, they will believe that to be God. Well, let us finish reading from the book we were reading from earlier. I hope it will help you get a vision of what is being planned for the purpose of deceiving natural minded mankind.

READING FROM BOOK

"There is one more set of facts about the Fatima happening that is relevant to John Paul's August 1981 vision. From the beginning of their reported conversations with Mary (Notice they do not talk to Jesus, they talk to Mary. That is not scriptural. It is anti-scriptural. That makes it antichrist. The reason it is antichrist is because it is opposite of what the scriptures teach.) the three children insisted she had given them three messages. Before their early deaths, Francisco Marto on April 4, 1919, at age eleven; Jacinta Marto on February 20, 1920, at age ten, the two Martos and Lucia dos Santos were questioned extensively about the Fatima happening and their six extended conversations with Mary. They never wavered or changed in their testimony, but they would not reveal the contents of the three messages immediately. They maintained that Mary had also given them precise instructions on this point. Since the death of the Martos, Lucia, now 82 and living as a Carmelite nun in Coimbra, Portugal, has been the sole living source of information about those three messages of Mary. The first two messages of Fatima became very well known in the years since 1917. The first put the church and all men on notice that the world as a whole society was following a path of sin (What kind of sin? Political indifference to the Catholic Church. That is the sin they are talking about. The pope doesn't care how many cigarettes you smoke and how many bottles of beer you drink. Now Bro. Jackson, I don't believe the pope believes in all that. Then tell me why all these monasteries grow grapes and make wine. Are you listening to me? Out here in Floyds Knobs, Indiana, you can find exactly what I am talking about. If they grow the grapes and produce the wine, they drink it. Just do not bother to tell me those people are against man's fruits of unrighteousness. They are not. Therefore, the sin they talk about is man's political and social indifference to the Catholic Church. They call that sin. Then I have to say I am a sinner; because I despise what that institution teaches and stands for. That is why they would like to convert me. After they got me converted, they would not care if I wound up as a drunk on the streets, just as long as I carry that chain and a picture of the virgin Mary around my neck and pray the rosary three, four, five times a day. Well, that is not the picture I get from the Bible. There are still a few people scattered around this old world that really desire to please the heavenly Father; and I am one of them. Hallelujah! Let us finish reading, following a path of sin) along which a multitude of men and women were being led to the eternal punishment of hell. The second message was a prediction about the outbreak of World War II. In that message, Mary also spoke about Russia and asked that the Pope and all the bishops of the church concentrate it in an especially solemn manner to her. If this was not done, the children reported Mary as saying, Russia would spread error and evil throughout the world; many human beings would suffer and die as a consequence. The third Fatima message still remains officially a secret. Lucia, (which was the oldest one) was adamant about its being kept secret. In 1944, under orders from her bishop, she wrote down on one sheet of paper the bare details of that secret, sealed it in an envelope and gave it to him. She told the bishop it was to be opened in 1960, because "by 1960, things will be clearer." But rumors spread about the contents of that envelope to the effect that it concerned the U.S.S.R. and other nations. Geopolitical-minded Vatican authorities began to feel queasy about the "Third Secret," as the contents of that envelope was now called. Under Vatican order, the envelope was brought to Rome and deposited in a small humidor-type box on a mantle piece in the Pope's private apartments in the Apostolic Palace, there to await the man who would be pope in 1960. (There are so many other things here, I am going to have to cut it short.) In 1978, shortly after becoming pope, when John Paul read Lucia's text of the "Third Secret," he had drawn the obvious conclusion. The pope of 1960, John 23rd, had not satisfied those two requests of Mary. "These (predictions)," John had noted for his successors, "do not concern our times." John had refused to publish the text of the "Third Secret." He had not organized the collegial consecration of Russia to Mary, although he had a made-to-order opportunity to do so when 2,500 Roman Catholic bishops assembled in the Vatican on October 11, 1962 for the opening of his Second Vatican Council. He did not accept this either." Now it goes on here about the various Vatican council meetings that have been set in motion. When I read these dates, 1962 and 1963, out of Rome was coming forth a secret plan. From the front and the external, it looked like to the religious world, come, we are all brothers. Come, let us unite. Let us be one. But from behind the political scenes there was the political maneuvering going on, how the bishops, the secret agents of the Catholic Church and mainly the Jesuit order, could set in motion through political circles of the earth, things that would eventually be the fulfillment of the Fatima vision of 1917. They knew, if that vision, according to their analysis, was true, then Russia sooner or later would have to collapse and be dedicated back to Mary. That is why ecumenism came to the front, to unite all religions of Christianity. But from behind the curtains of international diplomacy, you just do not present religious alternatives to a government of Communism. You deal with it on the basis of politics. That is exactly what we are looking at. If they are going to dedicate Russia to Mary, then they have to be able, somehow or other, to coax this thing back. I simply cannot take time to read all of this; but I will read a little more. "Manifestly, John Paul had accepted the fait accompli that inevitably followed the decision of John XXIII not to follow the dictates of the "Third Secret." He accepted the fact that the Church was now in the period of the Fatima "or" since the "either" had been refused by John XXIII. (I will skip some.) "On May 13th, feast day of Our Lady of Fatima, and (as he firmly believed) his own deliverance from sudden death by Agca's bullets through the protection of Mary as Our Lady of Fatima. John Paul could not pull all those details into a coherent order without coming to the conclusion that the geopolitical time table was much shorter than he and Cardinal Wyszynski of Russia had thought. The (for him) obvious intervention of Mary in preserving his life placed him (in his own eyes) in a direct relationship with Fatima and its "Third Secret." If there was one dominant element in that "Third Secret," it was Russia. The provisos of the "Third Secret" made sense only in relation to Russia. He had accepted as fact that John XXIII's decision not to do as the "Third Secret" asked (to publish the actual text, and to undertake a collegial consecration of Russia to Mary) had placed the Church and therefore the world in the "or" situation. He had no difficulty in accepting the predictions of dire physical and spiritual chastisements and that Russia would spread its errors throughout every nation. But all of that, he had assumed (up to that August of 1981) was griddled on a long drawn out timetable. Now he saw that the geopolitical timetable had been inaccurately calculated. The geopolitical change implied by the "Third Secret" was not far off. It was imminent." This pope having had a vision, in which he saw the virgin Mary much in the same manner as those children did in 1917, believes for sure that he has something to do in the fulfillment of it. He does not tell very much of what she said to him; but it leaves you with the thought that at the proper time, she will again appear to him. Since he believes she spared his life to fulfill this end time role, he is now waiting for the blessed virgin Mary to appear to him again and tell him it is time to take over. I tell you, there could not be any more sinister, deceptive masquerading of Satan than that. When I read to you earlier how Ronald Reagan in 1981, in the first term of his presidency, was shot by an assassin but was spared, it seemed to some that there was a similar purpose: Shortly after that, Pope John Paul was shot by an assassin, and he was spared. It tells in that article, as it shows the two men's pictures, one above the other, that they have things in common. As it appears that they secretly agreed to set the machinery in motion to deal with Russia, here it is 1992 and Russia, which this Fatima vision is all built around, is lying in shambles. Does that mean God did it? We could look at it two different ways. In the plan of God we can say this, the shaking of all things is going on. I do not believe that anything Satan is allowed to do supersedes what God has done. But I believe that what God is doing and has already said in His word, "that in the last days all things will be shaken," then God can let certain things come on by Satan that will make it appear to certain people that are going to follow the devil's order in deception anyhow, that God Himself did those things. This is the way we must look at many of the things that are taking place around the world. Above all else, we need to realize that in the end, God's plan is going to triumph. There is a lot more coming and I have no doubt the pope will definitely (since his mind is made up that God has given him the reins of the government of the world) begin to project his views more and more into world affairs. I have to say, Satan's great hour is fast approaching. This causes me to say, the bride of Christ will soon need to hear those seven thunders. When the devil comes along with his false prophet, (That is what he is going to be.) and that pope stands telling the world all this junk about his visions, the world will see him as a great prophet simply because he is telling the world what the virgin Mary has told him is going to be. Then it will be necessary for God to bring on what He has, to counter the affect of all of that and to give the Bride something to move through all this dark confusion and get her ready to take her flight out of here. Therefore, Listen to me saints: Do not despair, God will make a way for those that are truly His.
