THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LUCIFER AND SATAN

Some people hear “Lucifer” and “Satan” and just think those are the names of the Devil and don’t even question why. There is a huge difference between the two names and when they were his names. When taking all of this in with the meaning of his names, it can provide you a whole lot of wisdom about not just him, but about us and why we are here. That’s a trip for you to take if you decide to though. I cannot go any further than where this post ends.

In the KJV and other translated versions of the Bible, for some reason they mistranslated the word “Lucifer”. Lucifer in the Hebrew is actually Helel (hay-LALE). If you open a Hebrew OT, it would read in the Hebrew “Helel”, not Lucifer. The definition of it is “morning star”. Only one time does the Bible mention the word Helel, or “Lucifer”. That is in Isaiah 14:12. There’s a reason for that. It mentions what Helel’s crime was, in which he was banished from God and sentenced to everlasting torture. It says Helel exalted himself above all of the other stars of God and tried to be the god of the congregation. Helel was Satan’s name before he committed his crime.

Satan in the Hebrew means “the opponent” or “adversary”. There’s a reason for that too. Satan is what he became after his crime. He was the morning star, and now he’s the adversary. Since the days of Adam, he has been known as Satan. The reason why he’s mentioned as Lucifer in Isaiah 14:12 is because that’s what he was known as when he committed this crime. Since the days of Adam, Satan has been the adversary. People don’t trace back what is written in Revelation 20:2 back to the serpent written of in Genesis with Adam and Eve. “And he laid hold on the dragon, THAT OLD SERPENT, which is the devil and Satan and bound him for a thousand years.” What was John of Patmos referring to?

Ba’al was a fertility god of the pagans, but was he more than that? In Elijah’s time, Ba’al was the great opponent god and Jezebel was the chief pagan prophetess. As Paul reiterates the conversation between Elijah and God in Romans 11, he adds something that really puts traditional teaching into question. As is written, God tells Elijah “I have reserved to myself 7000 men who have not bowed the knee to Ba’al.” Traditional teachers have said that God meant there were 7000 people living in Israel who did not bow the knee to this pagan god. That’s wrong. If God reserves to himself a person, it means that that particular person has not lived yet. Proof of that is what Paul said afterward. “Even so at this present time there is also a remnant according to the election of grace.” A remnant. That means there are still some left. Elijah lived around 900 BC. Paul wrote this around 900 years afterward. There couldn’t be any living still if the traditional teachers are correct. God reserves to himself a person by not letting them live. In that particular conversation God meant that He has reserved to Himself 7000 men (and women) for the last generation. When else? Also Paul said that these people were not chosen for any work they have done, or else it would not be called grace. Faith is a work. Showing faith is a good work. Being unfaithful is a bad work. These people did not show their faith in this life in order to be chosen. That is what Paul was trying to clarify. Another secret to all of this is what Ba’al truly was. Ba’al may have been the pagan god of fertility, but he was also the deity of Venus. Lucifer means the morning star. What is the morning star? Venus is. Take it from there. I cannot go any further. I wish you luck.

WAS JESUS BLACK?

Was Jesus black? In one word…. uhhhhh no. Uhhhhh isn’t a word, so that doesn’t count. This is one of those things where people have twisted something written in the Bible to fit their own idiotic points of view. This is definitely nothing new. People years ago were killed for suggesting the Earth revolved around the Sun, even though it doesn’t say anywhere in the Bible that the Earth was the center of the universe. Men took it upon themselves to distort things to their liking.

Black theologians, such as Barack Obama’s former pastor Jeremiah Wright, have said that Jesus was actually black. Where do they get this idea? From Revelation 1:14-15 where it says Jesus had hair like wool and feet like brass. With something so small black religious zealots went “aha! Jesus was black!” Problem is in that vision from John of Patmos is that Jesus WAS brass. He was a candlestick holder holding the seven churches of Christ. Man, you really have to twist something really hard to come up with that meaning Jesus was black. Jesus was a Jew!

Of course what’s almost as ludicrous is the historical view of Jesus by white people that he was a pristine, blonde-haired, blue-eyed man of pale skin. Dumb. Jesus most likely had darker complected skin, brown eyes, and dark brown or black hair. History’s vision of Jesus is nearly as wrong as the contention that Jesus was actually black. Who comes up with this stuff? Aie aie aie.

THE FALSE PROPHET, POPE PETRUS ROMANUS, AND THE CHURCH OF EPHESUS

While so many people are speculating on who the Antichrist is going to be, with some ridiculous nominees mind you, the False Prophet seems to be a forgotten person. Not much is written about him but he will obviously have a lot of power. In the prophecies of the end time in the gospels, such as Matt. 24 it says false prophets-plural will be so convincing that they will convince everyone but the election of grace with their claims. There will be many false prophets in the last days but one will have incredible power over the world’s religious, and especially Christian population. What is written of him is in Revelation 13:11 where it says he will have two horns like a lamb but will speak as a dragon. What the two horns like a lamb means is that he will be a Christian in the eyes of the world. Jesus was our Lamb. Speaking as a dragon means he will be Satan’s mouthpiece. The False Prophet will be in the clothes of a Christian, but will bring his followers to Satan. There are a few easy to understand verses in Rev. 13 of what the False Prophet will do.  After his reign, he will suffer the same fate Satan will in Revelation chapter 19:20 and 20:10.

While many are wondering what the beast spoken of in Revelation is, they aren’t wondering what church this mouthpiece for Satan will come from. I think that’s an important question to ask. Does the Bible give an idea? I think it does. Among the churches spoken of in Revelation chapters two and three, only one church does Jesus threaten to remove from its place among the churches of Christ. That is the church of Ephesus.

What is the church of Ephesus today? All indicators point the church of Ephesus to being the Catholic Church. The Catholic Church is the church of Peter, as many know. Peter was martyred in Ephesus. You can also make sense of the wrongs the church of Ephesus has committed in Revelation 2:1-7. Jesus says he appreciates their tireless work but he is still against them. The reason is because they have left their first love. Jesus then says to repent quickly and do the first works or he will remove their candlestick from its place. What is the first love for any Christian? Christ is. What should be the first work of any Christian church be? To teach the word of God. That is something the Catholic Church absolutely does not do. They have ceremony, not teaching of God’s word. I know some will say “the Catholic church does have classes on teaching God’s word”, but that isn’t their first work is it? Having some class in the back whenever someone decides to take it isn’t a first work. These aren’t my words. These are Jesus’ words. You be the judge of what the first work should be for any Christian church, and you should realize it’s not giving a wafer after a ceremony.

In order for the False Prophet to have such power over people he would probably have to come from the Catholic Church. They put so much power into the hands of men. The Pope, Cardinals, Canon Law are powers taken away from God and put into the hands of men. In medieval times the popes had more power than kings. All a pope would have to do is accuse a man of heresy and that would be the end of his life. The Catholic Church puts men in charge of forgiving man of sin. No man can take away sin. “Do this and give ten ‘Hail Mary’s’ and you will be forgiven.” Ridiculous. The Catholic Church took it upon itself to redefine christianity by giving power to men, making Mary a deity (Mary, Mother of God… as if God had a mother), bowing to idols, and so on. They still call Mary the Virgin Mary. She wasn’t always a virgin. She had other kids after Jesus. How did that happen? Mary might have given birth to Jesus but she is not the mother of God. How can one call her a mother of something that existed before her? Mary was an incredible woman and chosen by God to mother His child. No greater honor could be bestowed upon a woman. Even with this Jesus did put her in her place on a number of occasions. He let her know what he was here to do and she should not get in his way. The bowing to idols even if they are of Jesus is wrong.  I know that is going against Catholic doctrine at a huge level, but it is wrong. When it says to not bow to idols, it doesn’t say don’t bow to idols unless they are of Jesus. Why is bowing to any idol wrong? Because they were made by the hands of men. Sinful men. It’s not what is made that matters. It’s who makes it that does matter. It says it plain as day in Exodus 21:4 “Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth;”. Nowhere does it say “well you can make one of me. That’s okay.” Purgatory is another power taken away from God and put into the hands of men. Nowhere is Purgatory even hinted at in the Bible, but with Purgatory the Catholic Church can increase donations so people will have to spend less time there. With Purgatory, men look to other men to lessen their stay in Purgatory. I’m sure this angers God at an incredible level.

You know who agrees with the church of Ephesus being the Catholic Church and what will happen? The Catholic church does. St. Malachy was one of the greatest Catholics in history. He had many prophetic visions, even those concerning popes. Through his visions he would give the names for all of the popes in the Catholic Church’s future. He mentions that the last pope will betray the faith and after his tenure there will be no more Catholic Church. This is all real, actual Catholic prophecy. The reason you may not know about it is because the Catholic Church is trying to keep a lid on it, because after Pope Benedict XVI there will be only one pope left of the names given by St. Malachy. His name will be Pope Petrus Romanus, and according to the prophecy of St. Malachy, he will be the one to betray the faith. Pope Petrus Romanus will be the False Prophet spoken of in Revelation. With this, the candlestick of the church of Ephesus will be removed from its place.
