FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:

THE ‘LITTLE HORN’S’ DASTARDLY DEEDS IN CHURCH HISTORY

Pray to our Father in heaven, in the name and authority of Jesus, for the Holy Spirit to open your eyes, enlighten your mind, and be our Teacher and Guide. This is the only way to discern, understand the “deep things of God” and treasure them above silver, gold, diamonds, or bitcoins. This is how to rise above the petty daily annoyances surrounding you, the non-stop fray, distractions, confusion,, conflicting news and contradicting opinions of experts and pundits, exacerbated by an open season of conspiracies breeding fanaticism, misguided zeal for righteousness, resulting from a distortion of truth only because people “love a lie rather than the truth,” and “darkness over the light.” So says the Bible.

Now read Daniel 7: 20, 21, 24, 25 and compare them to 2 Thess. 2: 3, 4, 9-12; then Rev. 12: 6. 14 and Rev. 13: 5-7. We pick up from where we left off on the year 538 A.D. when we learned that the way had been prepared by Justinian, emperor of Western Rome in 533 (March 25) stating that “the head of all bishops, and the and effective correcter of heretics” in anticipation of “the three FINAL ACTS which were to occur in 538, when the (1) the Arian powers were destroyed (2) Catholicism made the State Religion and (3) the Papacy placed under the protection of the State, which gave rise to the long struggle between the Church and State as to which should be SUPREME.”

Tomorrow we cite the record of these in Daniel and the Revelation by Uriah Smith. Stay tuned, focused on what matters because of its eternal, not temporal consequences and rewards. God continue blessing you, NMF.
