LITTLE HORN “SPEAKS WORDS AGAINST THE MOST HIGH”

FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:

LITTLE HORN “SPEAKS WORDS AGAINST THE MOST HIGH”

When the Papacy finally “uprooted” the last of the three Arian horns (kingdoms) in 538 A.D., Daniel’s prophecy says he “would speak great words against the Most High.”
Uriah Smith says: “This prophecy, too, has been unhappily fulfilled in the history of the pontiffs. They have sought, or at least have permitted to be applied to them, TITLES which would have been hyperbolically and blasphemous if applied to an ANGEL of God [!].

“Lucious Ferraris, in his PROMPTA BIBLIOTHECA, which the Catholic Encyclopedia refers to as a ‘veritable encyclopedia of religious knowledge’ and a ‘precious mine of information,’ declares, in its article on the Pope, that ‘the pope is of so great dignity and so exalted that he is not a mere man, but as it were God, and the vicar of God…..The Pope is of such lofty and supreme dignity that, properly speaking, he has not been established in any rank of dignity, but rather has been placed upon the very summit of all ranks and dignities…..The Pope is called most holy because it is rightfully presumed to be such…..

‘The Pope alone is deservedly called by the name ‘most holy,’ because he ALONE is the Vicar of Christ, who is the fountain and source and fullness of all holiness…..’He is likewise the divine monarch and supreme emperor, and ‘king of kings’….Hence the Pope is crowned with a TRIPLE CROWN, as king of HEAVEN and of EARTH and of THE LOWER REGIONS….. Moreover the superiority and power of the Roman Pontiff by no means pertain ONLY to heavenly things, to earthly things, and to things under the earth, but are EVEN OVER ANGELS, than whom he is greater…..So that if it were possible that the angels might ERR in the faith, or might think contrary to the faith, THEY COULD BE JUDGED AND EXCOMMUNICATED BY THE POPE….For he is of so great dignity and power that he forms ONE AND THE SAME TRIBUNAL WITH CHRIST….

“The Pope is as it were GOD ON EARTH, sole sovereign of the faithful of Christ, chief king of kings, having plenitude of power, to whom has been entrusted by the omnipotent God direction not only of the earthly but also the heavenly kingdom…..The Pope is of so great authority and power that he can MODIFY, EXPLAIN, OR INTERPRET EVEN DIVINE LAWS.’ – ‘Translated from Lucius Ferraris, Prompta Bibliotheca, art. ‘Papa,’ II, Vol. VI, pp. 26-29.

“Christopher Marcellus, at the fourth session of the fifth LATERAN COUNCIL in an oration to the Pope, exclaimed: ‘Thou art the shepherd, thou art the physician, thou art the director, thou art the husband man, finally. thou art ANOTHER GOD on earth.’- P. Joannis Arduin, Acta Concilorum, Vol. IX, p. 1651.”

The angels, created before man as “ministering spirits,” thus are spirits, not flesh and blood of human nature made from the dust of the ground, do not need the “faith” of Jesus neither the “grace of God in Christ” because the plan of salvation was only for fallen man, who alone was “made in the image and after the likeness” of God.

When one third of the angels joined Lucifer’s rebellion and war against Christ in heaven, and lost, they were cast out of heaven and immediately became fallen angels also known as the demons, evil spirits, fiends. There is no plan of redemption for the angel spirits in the Bible. Hence, they are not subject to the divine provisions of faith and grace, etc., included in the everlasting gospel.

Also, the very first commandment says: “Thou shalt have NO OTHER GODS before Me.”’ It is officially claimed (blasphemously) that the Pope is “another god on earth” and “forms one and the same tribunal with Christ.” The Bible plainly reveals that the heavenly Council called the Godhead, is made up of only three Persons: The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. John said “These THREE are ONE,”that is,’ the One and only true God!

Lastly, Jesus told His disciples that He would send the Holy Spirit, the third Person of the Godhead, to His Vicegerent on earth while performing His closing work as our High Priest, Advocate, Intercessor, Mediator and Judge of all mankind. When ended, He returns to earth with the final rewards of either eternal life or death—as The King of kings and Lord of lords!’
