Oh, geez........................................LOVE God and LOVE others. That's pretty much it in a nutshell. No politics. No 'spiritual foreplay'.
KJV Revelation 17:1-2
1 And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of
the great whore that sitteth upon many waters:
(15 And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues)
2 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.
Should we tell God that He should just love us, and never mind the dire warnings of judgement and the terrible histories of the church and the state combining to persecute Christians? Please God, don't talk about that stuff, we just want to love.
That whore described above is an apostate system...a church... With global ambitions. (See Revel. 17:18) Women in prophecy are symbols of churches. God uses that metaphor throughout scripture. A whore is an unfaithful church that has apostatized. The reason for the unfaithfulness is illicit union with governments. The rulers of nations, the kings and queens and presidents and emperors giving the church civil power, even armies, to use against heretics. This union of church and state came to fruition in the 6th century after Constantine had abandoned Rome for the East, a couple of centuries previous, leaving Rome in the hands of barbarians. The Pope had no show of establishing his religion, because those barbarians were Aryans, and the Pope did not like Aryans. And they didn't take to him much either, demanding a say in church affairs, making decisions the Pope thought should be his only, even deciding who the next Bishop of Rome should be. Such a situation was untenable for the Pope, so he made a deal with the emperor Justinian. Short story, the emperors armies dispatched with that naughty Aryan brotherhood, and 3 barbarian tribes were no more. Thus was fulfilled Daniels prophecy,
KJV Daniel 7:8
8 I considered the horns, and, behold,
there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things.
Anyway, that's how the Papacy got started. A union of church and state, destroying the church's enemies by force of arms, and rejecting God in the process. So began 1000 years of war and persecution.
You don't think we should talk about stuff like that? Because it's happening again. The last 3 popes are no longer interested in controlling Europe. No. They've gone global. And that whore, well, with the help of her Protestant daughters who are now returning to mummy, the future is looking very dire for this world... But, like we've been sayin', God still has people in that system, and is calling them out before it's too late.
KJV Revelation 18:2-5
2 And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.
3
For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.
4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying,
Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.
5 For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.
Some reckon Babylon is either the literal city come back to life, which is ridiculous. Others think Babylon is Jerusalem. Jerusalem going global? No way. Modern Israel has no such plans. But the Vatican? Well, the Vatican my friend that's a whole different story.
