2021 in Review: Part Three :: By Jeff Van Hatten

 

Pope Francis and the Vatican

Please Note: This article is blunt and may be offensive to those who have no love of the truth: so be it. This is not an attack on the people who attend Roman Catholic churches, as do many of my relatives; it is simply an exposé on its current leadership. Yahweh has given all people free will – you may choose to continue reading or not – that is your choice.

“Yeshua will enable Lucifer to deceive, in all kinds of wicked ways, those who are headed for destruction because they would not receive the love of the truth that could have saved them” (2 Thessalonians 2:10).

Pope Francis – A False Christ

2 Corinthians 11:13 – “Such men are false apostles, deceitful workmen, disguising themselves as apostles of Yeshua.”

Galatians 2:4 – “False brothers slipped in secretly to spy out our freedom that we have in Yeshua, so that they might bring us into slavery.”

Romans 1:25 – “They have exchanged the truth of God for falsehood, by worshipping and serving created things, rather than the Creator.”

Pope Francis continues trying to unite Christians, Islam, and Judaism together into one body. His policy of tearing down the walls against Islam and uniting them with other faiths is inexcusable. Francis and the Iraqi cleric, Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, urged the Muslim and Christian communities to work together in unity for peace. The Pope led a “Prayer of the sons and daughters of Abraham” at the Great Ziggurat of Ur in Iraq, but despite the title of the event implying that all of Abraham’s offspring would be represented, the event brought together Muslims, Catholics, and Christians, but no Jews were present. This is a doctrine of demons.

Pope Francis continues to state that Hamas terrorists are defenseless and that the Temple Mount should be given to Arabs. This is also a doctrine of demons.

Pope Francis presented Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas with a copy of the Document on Human Fraternity, which he signed with the Grand Imam of Al Azhar in Abu Dhabi in 2019. At the meeting, Francis emphasized the importance of the “Two-State Solution,” which would create an unprecedented Arab state inside of Israel’s borders. This is also a doctrine of demons.

Pope Francis held a special Gaia one-world religion meeting with Chrislam co-founder Grand Muslim Imam Ahmed Al-Tayeb at the Vatican. Pope Francis (who pretends to represent Christianity) and the Grand Imam praised the efforts and initiatives of the Chrislam Higher Committee for Human Fraternity. Even more doctrine of demons.

Pope Francis continues trying to get all people to worship the created (climate change, earth worship, etc.) rather than the creator (Yahweh / Yeshua). He invites Christians to sign and promote the “Healthy Planet, Healthy People” Petition, which he presented to world leaders at the UN Climate Change Conference, and told young people that theirs was “perhaps the last generation” to save the planet. According to Francis, leaders must pledge to take urgent steps to reach the goal of limiting global warming. More doctrine of demons.

Pope Francis – A Globalist Spokesperson

Matthew 12:34, 15:18; Luke 6:45 – “The mouth speaks what overflows from the heart.”

We rarely hear the Gospel of Yeshua Ha’Mashiach from this pope, but we certainly hear a lot of political, one-world, globalist dogma coming out of his mouth – which scripture calls the doctrine of demons.

Pope Francis’ ecumenical Abrahamic Family House project contradicts the teachings of Yeshua. The price of entry into the Abrahamic House is to de-emphasize the central elements of the Christian faith and to emphasize the tenets of the One-World Religion, Mystery Religion Babylon, and The Babylonian Whore. More doctrine of demons.

Pope Francis – One Who Approves Murder and The “Jab”

Pope Francis has repeatedly amplified pro-jab narratives and has mandated all Vatican employees to get the jab or face losing their jobs, will not allow any religious exemption against taking the jab, and sees no problem with enforcing jabberwocky passports. The Pontifical Academy for Life, the official bioethics academy of the Catholic Church, insists that it is a “moral responsibility” for Catholics to get poked. The Vatican considers use of genetic modifying agents to be acceptable, even those agents that use stem cell lines from murdered babies in their research. More doctrine of demons.

Pope Francis has concluded that Joey-Just-Biding-My-Time’s acceptance of “removing living infants from the womb” does not disqualify him from being a Catholic in good standing. Definitely a doctrine of demons.

Conclusions

Yahweh has permitted Pope Francis to steadfastly expose the true nature of the direction that the Roman Catholic “Church” is taking under his direction as an up-and-coming Synagogue of Satan through the political, one-world, globalist dogma coming out of his mouth. Pope Francis leads the way. There is nothing compatible between Biblical Christianity and the Satanic deceptions of the lying, deceiving actions and remarks of the Vatican and especially Pope Francis – which scripture calls the doctrine of demons. What a stench in Yahweh’s nostrils these beliefs are.

Final Thought

Luke 21:28 – “When these things begin to take place, stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is near!”

May Yom Teruah this year be fulfilled in the resurrection of the dead. Be sure you are ready and watching. Yeshua Ha’Mashiach is coming soon – so be of great cheer, keep looking up, lift up your heads and see your redemption draw near. Keep maintaining an attitude of gratitude. Be sure Yeshua is your Redeemer, King, and High Priest, and your sins are forgiven.

Jesus Christ: Our Divine Teacher, Part 1 :: By Dr. Donald Whitchard

 

Summary: John 3 introduces us to Nicodemus, a religious man who seemed sincere in wanting to know more about Jesus. He received the greatest lesson in that a real relationship with God is made possible only by the finished work of Christ on the cross and His resurrection.

The third chapter of John’s Gospel gives us a portrait of the Lord Jesus as the Divine Teacher. He has already been presented as the Light, The Word of God, the Lamb of God, and the Messiah. Now He gives His attention to teach us how to face the darkness of this world and come to the Light, and how to face death and to enter into life (Matthew 11:28-30; John 14:6).

In this chapter, He gets the opportunity to instruct the “teacher of Israel,” and He does just that. John wrote this chapter to present to the reader the fact that we need to learn the same lesson from the Master Teacher as did the recipient of His instruction, the Pharisee named Nicodemus. He was by all accounts a sincere and deeply religious man, yet he, like all of us, came to see that it is not religious observations or any type of work that will give us the assurance of peace with God. Jesus would teach Nicodemus and all who read this account about the need for salvation that only the Sovereign LORD alone can provide. Before we get into the crux of the lesson, we need to learn something about Nicodemus himself.

He was more than likely a member of the Sanhedrin, the ruling body of elders who followed the Law of Moses and had the authority to hear and judge matters pertaining to the Law. He was a powerful and influential judge, much like what we have in the manner of the U.S Supreme Court. He was deeply religious and adhered to the strictest of both moral and ethical standards in matters of following the Law, doing his best to live before the LORD in true holiness.

The priest and father of John the Baptist, Zacharias, was another example of this type of obedience and reverence before God (Luke 1:5-25). Nicodemus also appears to be a man of sincere and honest character in his search for the truth and peace for his soul that obedience to the Law could not fulfill. By going to Jesus in the night, he did so in order to have a private, uninterrupted conversation with Jesus. He had honest questions and wanted to find out if Jesus could answer them.

Nicodemus addressed Jesus with respect and acknowledged that He was from God and had done works that showed those around Him to affirm that conclusion. However, here is where Nicodemus falls short in his personal estimation of Jesus, seeing Him as nothing more than a teacher and prophet whom God has sent to Israel.

Here is where a lot of people throughout history and in this age tend to do as well. They see Him as a great example of morality, godly character, a role model, a great teacher, and a good example to follow, yet fall short of seeing Him as God Incarnate who had come into this world to redeem us of our sins, a task that none of us could ever hope to do in our own strength. Jesus was going to not only correct Nicodemus’ preconceptions but open his eyes and ours to the fact that redemption is only available through Him, not by our works or anything else. Jesus brushed off Nicodemus’ compliments and got immediately to the heart of the matter.

Jesus addressed the need of Nicodemus’ heart. He told him that his religious works and deeds were not sufficient to save his soul. He needed to experience “the new birth.” Jesus used a common illustration to clarify Nicodemus’ thinking. The birth of a child is a universal experience. Everyone has been through it. What Jesus referred to was something totally different from a natural birth. When He said that we must be “born again,” it meant “from a higher place,” referring to that which comes from God alone. The “new birth” cannot be done by us. It is a work of God and none other.

When Jesus used the term “except,” He meant that we have no other choices in the realm of salvation. You can’t pick someone else to do the work for you. We either come God’s way, or we do not experience His salvation. It’s Jesus or nothing (Acts4:12). Nicodemus had confused the things of God with that of the flesh as he pondered how someone could be born again, which to him meant returning to the mother’s womb, something that would be an impossibility.

Jesus took the time to clarify the meaning of “the new birth” as being of “water and the Spirit.” “Water” does not mean that we must first be baptized in order to be made new in Christ. That is adding works to the grace that God freely provides. It could refer to the birthing process in the natural realm, with the breaking of water from the womb that signals the inevitable arrival of the baby. However, if someone had never been born, then they would not need salvation in the first place, making this reference a moot point.

The better answer is that this refers to the Word of God that regenerates and quickens the heart of the sinner. It is the Word of God that makes us aware of our need for Christ. Scripture brings about the conviction of sin and the possibility of faith (Romans 10:17). This is why Bible-centered, Gospel preaching is so necessary (1 Corinthians 1:21). We do not need shows, talks, dialogues, or anything else that substitutes for the truth of the Word, especially in these last days when more preachers are adept at “tickling ears” rather than telling the truth (2 Timothy 4:1-4).

Jesus also spoke of being “born of the Spirit,” referring to the second stage of salvation. After conviction comes and the heart of the sinner is quickened by the Spirit of the Lord, the sinner is then faced with the decision that will give him the assurance of forgiveness, mercy, and redemption from his sins through the finished work of Christ on the cross (Matthew 11:28-30; John 19:30), or reject the free offer of salvation and go into hell, devoid of the love and grace they could have had while here in this life (Matthew 25:41; Luke 16:19-31; Hebrews 9:27; Revelation 20:11-15). When the sinner does turn to Jesus alone for salvation, the Spirit of God then baptizes the redeemed sinner into the body of Christ for all time (1 Corinthians 12:13). He is “a new creation” in the Lord Jesus (2 Corinthians 5:17), fitted for heaven and readied for glory, while the natural man is suited only for this world.

The “new birth” that Jesus freely offers to us is the only means by which we have peace with God. Again, there is no “Plan B.” Without Him, you will never get to heaven, and you will never miss hell. Jesus Christ is the ONLY way to the Father. He offers salvation to you today, and you would be wise to bow before Him and let Him permanently transform your life (Romans 10:9-10). As we continue to explore this marvelous chapter in John’s account of Jesus, we will learn from Israel’s past as an illustration of God’s Sovereignty in our salvation.

My YouTube broadcasts titled “The Reality City Review” will be posted on Facebook, GETTR, Parler, and on my website when completed. My main area of discussion will be on the basics of the Christian faith but will also deal with prophetic issues and other topics as the Lord impresses upon me to handle.
