All roads lead to Rome: (The beginning to today): - (this has yet to be proofed)
I will show you how Satan fits in with Rome today and the New Word Order (NWO.) I will explain the beginning of Satan in the OT and follow his progress to the last "officially" known location which is Pergamos (see pics below.) Though Satan was able to physically kill JC he could not stop His church from growing so he joined it and is now running it.
Rome and the "little horn":
|
As we can see, all roads or kingdoms so far, are leading to Rome and out of Rome comes this smaller horn which is a nation. The Vatican is the smallest nation in the world, read what John Wesley (1703-1791) (Methodist) speaking of the Papacy wrote, "He is in an emphatical sense, the Man of Sin, as he increases all manner of sin above measure. And he is, too, properly styled the Son of Perdition, as he has caused the death of numberless multitudes, both of his opposers and followers... He it is...that exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped...claiming the highest power, and highest honour...claiming the prerogatives which belong to God alone." Antichrist and His Ten Kingdoms, by John Wesley, pg. 110.

We have also learned that ten horns came out of the fourth and final beast, this beast is well understood to perfectly fit with historic documentation as Rome. These ten horns perfectly symbolized the historic division of the Roman Empire into ten separate nations after it’s fall in 476 AD. When Rome fell it split exactly into 10 separate nations:
Please make special note that no other “beast” is seen in prophecy after the fourth one. Pagan, as well as Papal Rome is to be the last global kingdom of mankind that is mentioned in prophecy. Now we get into the meat of this study. Daniel is now speaking of a LITTLE HORN that arises from within the ranks of all these 10 horns. Remember, the horns are the kings that gained power after Rome split up. Soon we will find that the little horn that rises from within these ten will receive the power of the fourth and final beast.
Read what the holy Roman church says about changing times:
Now let's read what some of our early *Protestant Fathers wrote about the Papacy:
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.: ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Martin Luther (1483-1546) (Lutheran): "Luther ...
proved, by the revelations of Daniel and St. John, by the epistles of St.
Paul, St. Peter, and St. Jude, that the reign of Antichrist, predicted and
described in the Bible, was the Papacy ... And all the people did say, Amen!
A holy terror seized their souls. It was Antichrist whom they beheld seated
on the pontifical throne. This new idea,
which derived greater strength from the prophetic descriptions launched
forth by Luther into the midst of his contemporaries, inflicted the most
terrible blow on Rome." Taken from J. H. Merle D'aubigne's History of the
Reformation of the Sixteen Century, book vi, chapter xii, p. 215. Pergamos: |
Rev 2:[12] And to the angel
of the church in Pergamos write; These things saith he which hath the
sharp sword with two edges;
[13] I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, even where
Satan's seat is: and thou holdest fast my name, and
hast not denied my faith, even in those days wherein Antipas was my faithful
martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth.
(Greek: Πέργαμος, ) was an ancient Greek city in modern-day Turkey, in Mysia, north-western Anatolia, 16 miles from the Aegean Sea, located on a promontory on the north side of the river Caicus (modern day Bakırçay), that became an important kingdom during the Hellenistic period, under the Attalid dynasty, 281–133 BC. Today, the modern city of Bergama is located nearby.
The Attalids ruled with intelligence and generosity. Many documents survive showing how the Attalids would support the growth of towns through sending in skilled artisans and by remitting taxes. They allowed the Greek cities in their domains to maintain nominal independence. They sent gifts to Greek cultural sites like Delphi, Delos, and Athens. They defeated the invading Celts. They remodeled the Acropolis of Pergamum after the Acropolis in Athens. When Attalus III (138-133 BC) died without an heir in 133 BC he bequeathed the whole of Pergamon to Rome, in order to prevent a civil war.
The first Christian bishop of Pergamon, Antipas, was believed to have been martyred here in 92 AD. Revelation 2:13). The Great Altar of Pergamon is in the Pergamon Museum, Berlin. The base of this altar remains on the upper part of the Acropolis. It was this altar, believed dedicated to Zeus, that John of Patmos referred to as "Satan's Throne" in his Book of Revelation (Revelation 2:12-13).
Pergamon's library on the Acropolis (the ancient Library of Pergamum) is the second best in the ancient Greek civilization.[3] When the Ptolemies stopped exporting papyrus, partly because of competitors and partly because of shortages, the Pergamenes invented a new substance to use in codices, called pergaminus or pergamena (parchment) after the city. This was made of fine calf skin, a predecessor of vellum. The library at Pergamom was believed to contain 200,000 volumes, which Mark Antony later gave to Cleopatra as a wedding present.
Three kilometers south of the Acropolis was the Sanctuary of Asclepius (also known as the Asclepeion), the god of healing. In this place people with health problems could bathe in the water of the sacred spring, and in the patients' dreams Asclepius would appear in a vision to tell them how to cure their illness. One of the more renowned temples in Pergamos was dedicated to a god called Asclepius, and in that temple to Asclepius there was a prominent monument and object, that being the wreathed serpent. On the left you have actually a statue of Asclepius from the Berlin Pergamum Museum, that statue actually from ancient Pergamum; and on the right you have what is the modern symbol for medicine. That is in fact where it derives - it's not from Moses lifting the serpent in the wilderness as many people suppose - but it is in fact from this pagan god Asclepius, who was understood as the god of healing. That is why Pergamos was considered to be the Lourdes of the day, and all sorts of people from all over the empire and indeed the world would come to find healing for various diseases, particularly from the god Asclepius. The supplicants would actually enter into the temple of Asclepius, and lie on the floor, and non-poisonous snakes would come and writhe over them - and they believed that by these snakes touching them, the god Asclepius might indeed heal them.
So Pergamum was
indeed a centre of spirituality; after Pergamum fell I believe Satan moved
to another temple:
Now let us see where Satan is living today:
This is the Pope's house, notice the dome (breast)
and the opposite obelisk (male organ) just like in Washington, DC.
The architectural
style of all government buildings of the
- Rome in the 1st century ran things from "Capitaline hill"
- Washington DC today runs things from "Capital Hill"
Both had "domes" on their buildings. The word "Dome" comes from "domas" which is used in words like dominate, domineering, domesticate... etc. Domas also "means" the "presence of God" or "presence of the Divine." Capital hill dome is an exact duplicate of the Vatican dome.
The inverted Cross
It is also often associated with Satanism and anti-religious attitudes. As a result, this symbol has become very popular within the heavy metal, black metal and death metal music scenes (notably, members of bands such as Slayer, Danzig, Gorgoroth and the singer Marilyn Manson have adorned themselves with large inverted cross pendants) Glen Benton, frontman of death metal band Deicide, branded himself on the forehead with an inverted cross. Also, fictional bassist of the band Gorillaz Murdoc Niccals is often drawn wearing an inverted cross.
Some quotes where the Pope declares himself "another God on earth." Now read the official titles for the office of Pope.

Vatican admits connection with CAESAR:
"...superior
papal authority and dominion is derived from the law of the
Caesars."
Lucius Ferraris, in "Prompta Bibliotheca Canonica, Juridica,
Moralis, Theologica, Ascetica, Polemica, Rubristica, Historica",
Volume V, article on "Papa, Article II", titled "Concerning the
extent of Papal dignity, authority, or dominion and
infallibility", #19, published in Petit-Montrouge (Paris) by J.
P. Migne, 1858 edition.
"...the appellation of God had been confirmed by
Constantine on the Pope,
who being God, cannot be judged by man." Pope Nicholas I, quoted
in History of the Councils, vol.
IX, Dist.: 96, Can 7, "Satis Evidentur Decret Gratian Primer
Para", by Labbe and Cossart.
"Long ages ago, when Rome through the neglect of the Western emperors was left to the mercy of the barbarous hordes, the Romans turned to one figure for aid and protection, and asked him to rule them; and thus, . . . commenced the temporal sovereignty of the popes. And meekly stepping to the throne of Caesar, the vicar of Christ took up the scepter to which the emperors and kings of Europe were to bow in reverence through so many ages."--American Catholic Quarterly Review, April, 1911. "Out of the ruins of political Rome, arose the great moral Empire in the 'giant form' of the Roman Church."--A.C. Flick, The Rise of the Mediaeval Church, 1909, p. 150. "Under the Roman Empire the popes had no temporal powers. But when the Roman Empire had disintegrated and its place had been taken by a number of rude, barbarous kingdoms, the Roman Catholic church not only became independent of the states in religious affairs, but dominated secular affairs as well. At times, under such rulers as Charlemagne (768-814), Otto the Great (936-973), and Henry III (1039-1056), the civil power controlled the church to some extent; but in general, under the weak political system of feudalism, the well-organized, unified, and centralized church, with the pope at its head, was not only independent in ecclesiastical affairs but also controlled civil affairs"--Carl Conrad Eckhardt, The Papacy and World-Affairs, The University of Chicago Press, 1937, P. 1.
Pope Pius IX, in his "Discorsi" (I.,
p. 253), said: "The Caesar who now addresses you, and to
whom alone are obedience and fidelity due."
[Speaking of the time, about 500 A.D., when the Roman Empire was crumbling to pieces:] "No, the [Catholic] Church will not descend into the tomb. It will survive the Empire . . . At length a second empire will arise, and of this empire the Pope will be the master--more then this, he will be the master of Europe. He will dictate his orders to kings who will obey them"--Andrea Lagarde, The Latin Church in the Middle Ages, 1915, p. vi. |
Where did Catholic Pope's title of authority originate?
In Ancient Rome, the Pontifex Maximus was the high priest of the collegium
of the Pontifices, the most august position in Roman religion, open only to
a patrician (a privileged class that ruled Rome), until 254 BC, when a
plebeian (average Roman citizen) first occupied this post. A distinctly
religious office under the early Roman Republic, it gradually became
politicized until, beginning with Augustus, it was subsumed into the
Imperial office.
I've given you the proof our Popes came out of the Roman Empire, next I will show the prophecies given in the Bible which proved Rome would one day rule the world and the Pope would one day rule the world from Rome:
