Constantine I & Hillel II: Two Men Who Deceived the Whole World

2 Men [Constantine + Hillel] ÷ 2 Agendas = 1 Massive Deception

In the fourth century C.E., the ancient Sabbath was supplanted by Saturday through a change in calendars.  The true Sabbath of Scripture was lost.

One of the greatest frauds in the history of the world was perpetrated almost 1,700 years ago by the actions of two men.  The Roman emperor, Constantine, committed a portentous act: he unified his empire by promoting Sunday as the day of Yahushua’s resurrection and outlawed the use of the Biblical calendar for calculating Passover.  This set in motion a series of reactions.  Jewish leader Hillel II responded to the persecution following this legislation by a modification of the Biblical calendar.  This supplanted the true Sabbath with the pagan Saturday.  It was a chain of actions and reactions of epic proportions.  The ramifications continue to this day with every Christian and Jew that worships by the Gregorian calendar.

ACTION

Constantine

The fourth century was a vast sea change in the tumultuous ocean current of history.  Christianity was gaining an ever-larger presence in the Roman Empire, while paganism remained the dominating influence.  The time was ripe for someone with the power and initiative to take advantage of a unique time in history.
St. Constantine the Great (c. 272 – 337 C.E.) is widely viewed as the first “Christian” emperor of the Roman Empire.  The reality is he was, first and foremost, a pagan.  He allowed himself to be baptized shortly before his death, but he retained his position as head of the state religion and carried its title, Pontifex Maximus, until his death.^[1]  Even Catholics admit Constantine retained the office of pontifex maximus after his so-called “conversion.”^[2]

Constantine was also a brilliant strategist with a political agenda.  He wanted to unite the two most influential factions in his empire: pagans and Christians.  Jews were a despised minority whose influence was to be contained and marginalized.  Thus, Constantine’s efforts to unite his empire focused on finding a common ground to unite the pagans and western, paganized Christians.  He found this in Sunday of the pagan, planetary week.
The early Julian calendar, like that of the Roman Republic before it, had an eight-day week.  The letters A through H represented the days of the week.  At that time, different countries used different means of keeping track of time and within the Roman Empire itself, there were regional differences in the Julian calendar.  The pagan seven-day planetary week came to Rome in the first century B.C.E.^[3]
Despite the emergence of the planetary week, the early Julian calendar continued to use an eight-day week for some time.  “The nundinal [eight-day] cycle was eventually replaced by the modern seven-day week, which first came into use in Italy during the early imperial period,^[4] after the Julian calendar had come into effect in 45 BC. The system of nundinal letters was also adapted for the [seven-day] week…. For a while, the week and the nundinal cycle coexisted, but by the time the week was officially adopted by Constantine in AD 321, the nundinal cycle had fallen out of use.”^[5]  While the pagan planetary week of seven days was known by the Romans and used regionally, the Julian calendar in use during and immediately following the life of Yahushua, still used an eight-day week. 
This fact is supported by archeological evidence: the Julian fasti still in existence today show either eight-day weeks or list both eight-day and seven-day weeks on the same calendar.

The decline of the eight-day week coincided with the expansion of Rome.  . . . The astrological [planetary] and Christian seven-day weeks that had just been introduced into Rome were also becoming increasingly popular.  There is evidence indicating that the Roman eight-day week and those two seven-day cycles were used simultaneously for some time.  However, the coexistence of two weekly rhythms that were entirely out of phase with one another obviously could not be sustained for long.  One of them clearly had to give way.  As we all know, it was the eight-day week that soon disappeared from the pages of history forever.^[6]

This was not an immediate transformation.  As the seven-day planetary week became more popular, the use of the letters (A through G) to designate days was laid aside and the days of the week were named after the planetary gods.

It is not to be doubted that the diffusion of the Iranian [Persian] mysteries has had a considerable part in the general adoption, by the pagans, of the week with the Sunday as a holy day. The names which we employ, unawares, for the other six days, came into use at the same time that Mithraism won its followers in the provinces in the West, and one is not rash in establishing a relation of coincidence between its triumph and that concomitant phenomenon.^[7]

Archeological evidence shows Christians double dating their sepulcher inscriptions, giving both the solar Julian date and the corresponding date on the luni-solar Biblical calendar.  One such inscription, dated Friday, November 5, 269 C.E. states:  “In the consulship of Claudius and Paternus, on the Nones of November, on the day of Venus, and on the 24^th day of the lunar month, Leuces placed [this memorial] to her very dear daughter Severa, and to Thy Holy Spirit. She died [at the age] of 55 years, and 11 months, [and] 10 days.”^[8] 

This stick calendar from the Baths of Titus, constructed in 79 - 81 C.E. shows Saturn, holding his sickle, as god of the first day of the week (Saturday). The sun god is next (Sunday), followed by the moon goddess (Monday) on the third day of the week.

This was the situation Constantine took advantage of for furthering his political agenda.  It was a delicate balancing act that favored the pagan faction more than the Christian.  First, he enacted a series of laws that honored the day of the Sun, dies Solis, or Sunday.  On the original planetary week, Saturday had actually been the first day of the week.  Sunday was the second day of the week and Friday was the seventh day. 
The sun, however, was Constantine’s personal symbol.  He had Sol Invictus (Unconquered Sun) inscribed on his coins and it remained his personal motto all his life.  Exalting Sunday was acceptable to pagans and something on which some Christians had already compromised.  By the second century, many Christians (particularly in the west) had already come to revere Sunday as the day of the Saviour’s resurrection.  This was the opening Constantine needed for uniting paganism and Christianity.

The Sunday law of Constantine must not be overrated. He enjoined the observance, or rather forbade the public desecration of Sunday, not under the name of Sabbatum [Sabbath] or dies Domini [Lord’s day], but under its old astrological and heathen title, dies Solis [Sunday], familiar to all his subjects, so that the law was as applicable to the worshipers of Hercules, Apollo, and Mithras, as to the Christians. There is no reference whatever in his law either to the fourth commandment or to the resurrection of Christ.^[9]

Constantine is viewed as a Christian because of his Sunday law but his “Sunday law” was deliberately ambiguous.  He wanted it to be acceptable to both pagans and Christians!

How such a law would further the designs of Constantine it is not difficult to discover. It would confer a special honor upon the festival of the Christian church,^[10] and it would grant a slight boon to the pagans themselves. In fact there is nothing in this edict which might not have been written by a pagan. The law does honor to the pagan deity whom Constantine had adopted as his special patron god, Apollo or the Sun. The very name of the day lent itself to this ambiguity. The term Sunday (dies Solis) was in use among Christians as well as pagan.^[11]

The seven-day planetary week was the vehicle for change.  Both the eight-day Julian week and the seven-day Biblical week were laid aside for the planetary week of Mithraism.  This week came from paganism,not the Bible as Christians today assume.  “The time was ripe for a reconciliation of state and church, each of which needed the other. It was a stroke of genius in Constantine to realize this and act upon it. He offered peace to the church, provided that she would recognize the state and support the imperial power.”^[12]
Constantine’s Sunday law did reconcile pagans and many of the Christians.  However, it also served to bring to the forefront a controversy that had already raged for over 100 years: when to celebrate the Saviour’s sacrifice.  Up until this time, many Christians, especially in the east, were still worshipping on the seventh-day Sabbath as well as keeping the annual feasts of Yahuwah calculated by the Biblical luni-solar calendar.  Even many who had embraced worship on Sunday still used the Biblical calendar for calculating Passover. 

Easter: Pagan Passover

It was a longstanding debate involving two different calendars. 

Since the second century A.D. there had been a divergence of opinion about the date for celebrating the paschal (Easter) anniversary of the Lord’s passion (death, burial, and resurrection). The most ancient practice appears to have been to observe the fourteenth (the Passover date), fifteenth, and sixteenth days of the lunar month regardless of the day of the [Julian] week these dates might fall on from year to year. The bishops of Rome, desirous of enhancing the observance of Sunday as a church festival, ruled that the annual celebration should always be held on the Friday, Saturday, and Sunday following the fourteenth day of the lunar month.  In Rome, Friday and Saturday of Easter were fast days, and on Sunday the fast was broken by partaking of the communion. This controversy lasted almost two centuries, until Constantine intervened in behalf of the Roman bishops and outlawed the other group.^[13]

A statement by Eusebius of Caesarea reveals that the churches of Asia had long clung to observing Passover on Abib 14, while the churches in the west had transitioned to the pagan Easter Sunday:

A question of no small importance arose at that time [late second century] for the parishes of all Asia, as from an older tradition, held that the fourteenth day of the moon, on which day the Jews were commanded to sacrifice the lamb, should be observed as the feast of the Saviour’s Passover.  It was therefore necessary to end their fast on that day, whatever day of the [Julian] week it should happen to be.  But it was not the custom of the churches in the rest of the world to end it at this time….^[14]

The continuous weekly cycle of the Julian calendar meant that the Biblical Passover on Abib 14 could fall on any day of the Julian week.  Consequently, Abib 16, the day of the resurrection, did not always fall on Sunday.  Those pressing for an Easter celebration on the Julian calendar drew up a decree, proclaiming that all Christians should observe the resurrection on Easter Sunday, rather than the Passover of Abib 14.  Thus, the observation of a pagan holiday ostensibly honoring Jesus’ resurrection supplanted Yahuwah’s feast commemorating Yahushua’s death.

Synods and assemblies of bishops were held on this account, and all, with one consent, through mutual correspondence drew up an ecclesiastical decree, that the mystery of the resurrection of the Lord should be celebrated on no other but the Lord’s day [Sunday], and that we should observe the close of the paschal fast on this day only.^[15]

The Resurrection: Easter? or First Fruits?

Those clinging to Biblical calendation immediately protested the highhanded decree of the western bishops.  In a letter sent to Victor, Bishop of Rome, Polycrates declared his firm belief in continuing to use the Biblical calendar for observation of Passover.  His letter is of particular importance to Christians today because it lists John the Beloved and the Apostle Phillip as keeping the Passover!  Eusebius relates:

But the bishops of Asia, led by Polycrates, decided to hold to the old custom handed down to them.  He himself, in a letter which he addressed to Victor and the church of Rome, set forth in the following words the tradition which had come down to him:

We observe the exact day; neither adding, nor taking away.  For in Asia also great lights have fallen asleep, which shall rise again on the day of the Lord’s coming, when he shall come with glory from heaven, and shall seek out all the saints.  Among these are Philip, one of the twelve apostles . . . and, moreover, John, who was both a witness and a teacher, who reclined upon the bosom of the Lord, and . . . fell asleep at Ephesus.  And Polycarp in Smyrna, who was a bishop and martyr . . . All these observed the fourteenth day of the passover according to the Gospel, deviating in no respect, but following the rule of faith.^[16]

If the believers in Asia were refusing to give up the Biblical calendar for calculating Passover, it is probable that they had likewise refused to forsake the true Sabbath calculated by the same calendar.  The Bishop of Rome “immediately attempted to cut off from the common unity the parishes of all Asia, with the churches that agreed with them as heterodox; and he wrote letters and declared all the brethren there wholly excommunicate.”^[17]
It is of import to note that there was never any argument over when the resurrection actually occurred.  Both acknowledged that it occurred on Abib 16 of the luni-solar calendar.  The disagreement, as noted in the quote above, was over when to celebrate it.  Dates are established by calendars, so ultimately, it was an argument over which calendar would be used to determine the celebration.  In order to truly unify Christians and pagans alike, the observance of the crucifixion and resurrection had to be transferred from the Biblical luni-solar calendar to the pagan, Julian solar calendar.  Four years after the decrees exalting Sunday in 321 C.E., Constantine convened the Council of Nicea in 325 to settle this debate. 
No longer would the Saviour’s sacrifice be observed on the 14^th, 15^th and 16^th days of Abib on the luni-solar calendar.  In the future, such remembrances would be transferred to the Friday, Saturday and Easter Sunday of the Julian calendar, which can drift from March 20-22 to April 22-25.  The bishop of Rome, himself desirous of greater power and influence, threw the weight of his influence with Constantine.  “By the time of Constantine, apostasy in the church was ready for the aid of a friendly civil ruler to supply the wanting force of coercion.”^[18]
Constantine was emphatic that Jewish calendation should no longer be used for calculating these dates. 

At the Council of Nice [Nicea] the last thread was snapped which connected Christianity to its parent stock. The festival of Easter had up till now been celebrated for the most part at the same time as the Jewish Passover, and indeed upon the days calculated and fixed by the Synhedrion [Sanhedrin] in Judæa for its celebration; but in future its observance was to be rendered altogether independent of the Jewish calendar, “For it is unbecoming beyond measure that on this holiest of festivals we should follow the customs of the Jews. Henceforward let us have nothing in common with this odious people; our Saviour has shown us another path. It would indeed be absurd if the Jews were able to boast that we are not in a position to celebrate the Passover without the aid of their rules (calculations).” These remarks are attributed to the Emperor Constantine . . . [and became] the guiding principle of the Church which was now to decide the fate of the Jews.^[19]

Constantine accomplished three things, the ripple effects of which resound to this day: 1. Standardized the planetary week of seven days making dies Solis (Sunday) the first day of the week, with dies Saturni (Saturday) the last day of the week. 2. Exalted Easter and guaranteed that the true Passover and the pagan Easter would never fall on the same day. 3. Exalted dies Solis as the day of worship for both pagans and Christians.

The long-term effect was that “Easter Sunday” entered the Christian paradigm as The Day of Christ’s resurrection. The corollary to this realignment of time calculation was that the day preceding Easter Sunday, Saturday, became forever after The True Bible Sabbath. This is the true significance of Constantine’s “Sunday law” and it laid the foundation for the modern assumption that a continuous weekly cycle has always existed.^[20]

The result of Constantine’s actions actually favored the pagan faction of the empire.  However, the corrupt bishops of Rome were able to present these actions as favorable to Christians.  “By the time of Constantine, apostasy in the church was ready for the aid of a friendly civil ruler to supply the wanting force of coercion.”^[21]  The true luni-solar calendar, handed down from Creation and Moses, was lost.

Result

The result of Constantine’s ecumenism was swiftly felt.  All who refused to give up the use of the Biblical calendar for calculating Passover, felt the heavy hand of oppression fall on them.  Constantine’s son, Constantius, took his father’s act one step further and outlawed the use of the Biblical calendar for Jews as well.  Historian David Sidersky observed: “It was no more possible under Constance to apply the old calendar.”^[22]

In subsequent years, the Jews went through “iron and fire.”  The Christian emperors forbade the Jewish computation of the calendar, and did not allow the announcement of the feast days.  Graetz says, “The Jewish communities were left in utter doubt concerning the most important religious decisions: as pertaining to their festivals.”  The immediate consequence was the fixation and calculation of the Hebrew calendar by Hillel II.^[23]

Changeling: Christians becoming Pagan

Constantius’ act impacted apostolic Christians as well.  While Tertullian^[24] reveals paganized Christians were already transferring their worship to the “day of the Sun” as early as the second century, others clung to the true Sabbath for over 1,000 years.  Almost 40 years after the Council of Nicea, the Council of Laodicea (c. 363-364) released a statement demanding that Christians work on the Sabbath and abstain from work on the Lord’s day.  This decree, translated into English, states:

Christians shall not Judaize and be idle on Saturday, but shall work on that day; but the Lord’s day they shall especially honor, and, as being Christians, shall, if possible, do no work on that day. If however, they are found Judaizing, they shall be shut out from Christ.

According to Roman Catholic bishop and scholar, Karl Josef von Hefele (1809-1893), the use of the word “Saturday” in the above quote is incorrect.  In the original, the word used was Sabbath or Sabbato not dies Saturni or Saturday.

Quod non oportet Christianos Judaizere et otiare in Sabbato, sed operari in eodem die. Preferentes autem in veneratione Dominicum diem si vacre voluerint, ut Christiani hoc faciat; quod si reperti fuerint Judaizere Anathema sint a Christo.

Christians at the time of the calendar change were not confused over Saturday being the Sabbath. Everyone knew that dies Saturni had recently been moved from the first day of the pagan, planetary week to the last day . . . while Sabbato was the seventh day of the Jewish luni-solar calendar with which no one in power wished to be associated. Again, these were two different days on two distinct calendar systems.^[25]

The political power of Rome lent support to the religious decrees of Constantine and Constantius.  While some scholars have mistakenly assumed that the conflict was over Saturday versus Sunday, the historical reality reveals that people of the time were well aware of the existence of the Biblical luni-solar calendar and how to use it.  Many believers in the east or beyond the reaches of the Roman Empire were loathe to abandon Biblical time-keeping.  “Those Christians who were looking for a way out of their difficulty with Sabbath observance moved towards a greater regard for the first day of the [Julian] week.  But others on the outskirts of the Empire, where anti-Semitism did not exist, continued their veneration of the seventh day Sabbath.”^[26]

REACTION

Hillel II

Just as Constantine was the power behind an action that ultimately led to the destruction of the Biblical calendar for use by Christians, another man, a Jew, was responsible for a reaction that had consequences just as far reaching. 

“Declaring the new month by observation of the new moon, and the new year by the arrival of spring, can only be done by the Sanhedrin.  In the time of Hillel II, the last President of the Sanhedrin, the Romans prohibited this practice.  Hillel II was therefore forced to institute his fixed calendar, thus in effect giving the Sanhedrin’s advance approval to the calendars of all future years.” "The Jewish Calendar and Holidays (incl. Sabbath): The Jewish Calendar: Changing the Calendar," http://www.torah.org.

Prior to the destruction of Jerusalem, the High Priest had been in charge of the calendar.  “While the Sanhedrin (Rabbinical Supreme Court) presided in Jerusalem, there was no set calendar. They would evaluate every year to determine whether it should be declared a leap year.”^[27]  This task fell to the president of the Sanhedrin when the priesthood was no more.  “Under the reign of Constantius (337-362) the persecutions of the Jews reached such a height that . . . the computation of the calendar [was] forbidden under pain of severe punishment.”^[28]  It was as a reaction to this situation that Hillel II, President of the Sanhedrin, took the extraordinary step in 359 C.E. of modifying the ancient Biblical calendar to allow the Jews to more easily coexist with the Christians. 

After Hillel II

Distant communities would no longer have to wait for messengers from the President of the Sandedrin to reach them to know when a new month had started.  Each community would henceforth be able to determine for themselves when a new month began and when a 13^th month was to be added. 

The “Fixed” Calendar

When Hillel II “fixed” the calendar, he incorporated leap years on a permanent basis.^[29]  It is possible, but not provable, that this particular cycle of leap years was used and understood prior to Hillel as it follows the 19-year metonic cycle.  Hillel based his calendar “on mathematical and astronomical calculations [rather than observations]. This calendar, still in use, standardized the length of months and the addition of months over the course of a 19 year cycle, so that the lunar calendar realigns with the solar years.”^[30]  He declared a thirteenth month to be intercalated in the 3rd, 6th, 8th, 11th, 14th, 17th, and the 19th years of the 19-year cycle. 
But Hillel did more than make known a 19-year cycle of intercalations that was, in all probability, used all along.  He also transferred the observance of the ancient Sabbath from the 8^th, 15^th, 22^nd and 29^th days of the lunar month, to every Saturday of the Julian months.  This change necessitated still another: rules of postponement.  Changing the weekly Sabbath from the luni-solar calendar to Saturday is clearly implied by the need for rules of postponement which, prior to Hillel’s “fixing” of the calendar, had been unnecessary.  According to the Universal Jewish Encyclopedia, “The New Moon is still, and the Sabbath originally was, dependent upon the lunar cycle.”^[31]  When both the Sabbath and the annual feasts are calculated on the luni-solar calendar, rules of postponement are unnecessary.  It is only when the yearly feasts are calculated by one calendar, and the weekly Sabbath is calculated by another, that there are conflicts requiring rules of postponement.

Rules of Postponement 1. The Jewish New Year, Feast of Trumpets, may not fall on Sunday, Wednesday or Friday. 2. If the New Moon (molad) for the seventh month falls on Sunday, Wednesday or Friday, the New Moon is postponed until the following day. 3. If the molad of the seventh month in a common year occurs on Tuesday at 3:204/1080 A.M. or later, the New Moon is postponed until Thursday. 4. In a common year following a leap year, if the molad of the seventh month occurs after 9 a.m. and 589/1080 parts on a Monday morning, New Moon is postponed until Tuesday.

Without the rules of postponement, the annual feasts come into conflict with Saturday.  For example, if Feast of Trumpets (New Moon for the seventh month) were to fall on a Sunday, the last day of Feast of Tabernacles would fall on a Saturday, conflicting with the traditional observance for the last day of the feast.  Hence the need for the first and second rules of postponement.  The third rule of postponement insures that the common year in question would not be longer than 355 days.  The fourth rule of postponement guarantees that a common year following a leap year is not shorter than 383 days.^[32]
This “fixed” calendar is highly regimented.

There are exactly fourteen different patterns that the Hebrew calendar years may take, distinguished by the length of the year and the day of the week on which Rosh Hashanah falls. Because the rules are complex, a pattern can repeat itself several times in the course of a few years, and then not recur again for a long time. But the Jewish calendar is known to be extremely accurate. It does not "lose" or "gain" time as some other calendars do.^[33]

This was an act of survival by Hillel II.  It was made in response to the brutal persecutions of Constantine’s son, Constantius.

With his own hand the Patriarch destroyed the last bond which united the communities dispersed throughout the Roman and Persian empires with the Patriarchate.  He was more concerned for the certainty of the continuance of Judaism than for the dignity of his own house, and therefore abandoned those functions for which his ancestors . . . had been so jealous and solicitous.  The members of the Synhedrion favored this innovation.^[34]

When Hillel II “fixed” the calendar, he, in his position as President of the Sanhedrin, effectually gave permission to the Jews to worship on Saturday for all future time.

Result Today, nearly 1700 years later, the action of Constantine and its resulting reaction by Hillel II, are still impacting hundreds of millions of people around the world. • Catholics worship on Sunday in honor of the resurrection.  This is in accordance with the act of Constantine which changed the observance from a luni-solar calculated Passover to the pagan, solar calculated Easter. • Jews worship on Saturday because Talmudic law justifies the act of keeping one day in seven when one does not know when the true Sabbath falls. • Most Protestants join with Catholics in worshipping on Sunday, the first day of the modern, Gregorian week, assuming it is the day of the resurrection. • Saturday-sabbath keeping Protestants worship on Saturday because it is the seventh-day of the modern week and they assume that since the Jews worship on Saturday, it must be the Biblical Sabbath. • Muslims, likewise, honor the pagan/papal Gregorian method of calendation by going to mosque for prayers on Friday.

It is not possible to find the true seventh-day Sabbath using the modern Gregorian calendar.  This solar calendar is nothing more than a pagan method of time calculation.  The early Julian calendar was established by pagans, for pagans.  It was officially adopted for ecclesiastical use at the Council of Nicea.  It was later adjusted by Jesuit astronomer, Christopher Clavius, at the behest of Pope Gregory XIII – hence the name, Gregorian calendar.  Clavius confirmed that the Julian calendar (and thus the Gregorian calendar that comes from it) is founded on paganism and has no connection whatsoever to the Biblical calendar.  In his explanation of the Gregorian calendar, Clavius admitted that when the Julian calendar was accepted as the ecclesiastical calendar of the Church, the Biblical calendar was rejected: "The Catholic Church has never used that [Jewish] rite of celebrating the Passover, but always in its celebration has observed the motion of the moon^[35] and sun, and it was thus sanctified by the most ancient and most holy Pontiffs of Rome, but also confirmed by the first Council of Nicaea."^[36]  The “most ancient and most holy Pontiffs of Rome” here spoken of refer to the pagan College of Pontiffs of which Constantine, as Pontifex Maximus, was the head.
Constantine desired unity.  He achieved this goal through ecumenism and outlawing the use of the Biblical calendar for remembering the death of Yahushua.  Hillel II desired the physical survival of Judaism.  He achieved his goal by compromising with paganism and modifying the Biblical calendar.  The result of this action and it’s accompanying reaction has been the assumption by multitudes that Saturday is the Biblical Sabbath and Sunday is the day on which the Saviour was resurrected.  Thus, Christians and Jews have calculated their worship days using pagan solar calendation, neglecting the true Sabbath of Yahuwah. 
None who desire to worship the Creator on His holy Sabbath will calculate their worship days by this abomination of desolation that dishonors Yahuwah and desolates the soul.  Only the luni-solar calendar of Creation can pinpoint when the true Sabbath occurs.  Lay aside the traditions of man.  Accept only the word of Yah and worship Him by His ordained method of time-keeping.

In the past few years more professionals have come forward to share a truth that, for many people, proves difficult to swallow.

One such authority is Dr. Richard Horton, the current editor-in-chief of the Lancet – considered to be one of the most well respected peer-reviewed medical journals in the world.

Dr. Horton recently published a statement declaring that a lot of published research is in fact unreliable at best, if not completely false.

“The case against science is straightforward: much of the scientific literature, perhaps half, may simply be untrue. Afflicted by studies with small sample sizes, tiny effects, invalid exploratory analyses, and flagrant conflicts of interest, together with an obsession for pursuing fashionable trends of dubious importance, science has taken a turn towards darkness.” (source)

This is quite distrubing, given the fact that all of these studies (which are industry sponsored) are used to develop drugs/vaccines to supposedly help people, train medical staff, educate medical students and more.

It’s common for many to dismiss a lot of great work by experts and researchers at various institutions around the globe which isn’t “peer-reviewed” and doesn’t appear in a “credible” medical journal, but as we can see, “peer-reviewed” doesn’t really mean much anymore. “Credible” medical journals continue to lose their tenability in the eyes of experts and employees of the journals themselves, like Dr. Horton.

He also went on to call himself out in a sense, stating that journal editors aid and abet the worst behaviours, that the amount of bad research is alarming, that data is sculpted to fit a preferred theory.

He goes on to observe that important confirmations are often rejected and little is done to correct bad practices. What’s worse, much of what goes on could even be considered borderline misconduct.

Dr. Marcia Angell, a physician and longtime Editor in Chief of the New England Medical Journal (NEMJ), which is considered to another one of the most prestigious peer-reviewed medical journals in the world, makes her view of the subject quite plain:

“It is simply no longer possible to believe much of the clinical research that is published, or to rely on the judgment of trusted physicians or authoritative medical guidelines. I take no pleasure in this conclusion, which I reached slowly and reluctantly over my two decades as an editor of the New England Journal of Medicine”  (source)

I apologize if you have seen it before in my articles, but it is quite the statement, and it comes from someone who also held a position similiar to Dr. Horton.

There is much more than anecdotal evidence to support these claims, however, including documents obtained by Lucija Tomljenovic, PhD, from the Neural Dynamics Research Group in the Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences at the University of British Columbia, which reveal that vaccine manufacturers, pharmaceutical companies, and health authorities have known about multiple dangers associated with vaccines but chose to withhold them from the public. This is scientific fraud, and their complicity suggests that this practice continues to this day. (source)

This is just one of many examples, and alludes to one point Dr. Horton is referring to, the ommision of data. For the sake of time, I encourage you to do your own research on this subject. I just wanted to provide some food for thought about something that is not often considered when it comes to medical research, and the resulting products and theories which are then sold to us based on that research.

It’s truly a remarkable time to be alive. Over the course of human history, our planet has experienced multiple paradigm shifting realizations, all of which were met with harsh resistence at the time of their revelation. One great example is when we realized the Earth was not flat.

Today, we are seeing these kinds of revelatory shifts in thinking happen in multiple spheres, all at one time. It can seem overwhelming for those who are paying attention, especially given the fact that a lot of these ideas go against current belief systems.

There will always be resistance to new information which does not fit into the current framework, regardless of how reasonable (or factual) that information might be.

The Jesuits & The Globe Earth: The Mother Of All Conspiracies!

Coincidences of dates, agendas, and goals, connect the Jesuits to a massive deception over the true shape of the earth – all for the purpose of a multi-faceted end time delusion.

Conspiracy. The word has taken a hit in the last 20 years or so. Evidence supporting the existence of conspiracies is frequently dismissed with a sniff as nothing more than a loony theory. But people quick to dismiss circumstantial evidence of evil as nothing more than idle speculation frequently overlook one important point: when there is sufficient evidence to support a theory, it moves from the realm of conjecture and becomes a possibility. Then, a probability. And finally, a fact.
Startling new evidence implicates the Jesuit order as masterminds behind a deception spanning centuries. This article will trace the actions and influence of the Jesuits’ involvement in perpetrating this lie. The purpose has been to change the perception of the masses regarding the earth, the authority of the Bible, the universe and the Creator’s position in it. This change lays the groundwork for the overwhelming delusion shortly to come upon the world under the first woe, or fifth trumpet, prophesied in Revelation 9: demonic “alien” invasion.
Sometimes the evidence is circumstantial. However, circumstantial evidence can be very compelling and should not be dismissed. According to a retired federal judge:

There are, generally speaking, two kinds of evidence, direct and circumstantial. Direct evidence is testimony by a witness about what that witness personally saw or heard or did. Circumstantial evidence is indirect evidence, that is, evidence from which you could find that another fact exists, even though it has not been proved directly. There is no legal distinction between direct and circumstantial evidence as far as probative value; the law permits you to give equal weight to both…

There is no reason to be prejudiced against evidence simply because it is circumstantial evidence. …In fact, proof by circumstantial evidence may be as conclusive as would be the testimony of witnesses speaking on the basis of their own observation. Circumstantial evidence, therefore, is offered to prove a certain fact from which you are asked to infer the existence of another fact or set of facts. Before you decide that a fact has been proved by circumstantial evidence, you must consider all of the evidence in light of reason, experience and common sense.¹

“In the big lie there is always a certain force of credibility; because the broad masses…more readily fall victims to the big lie than the small lie, since they themselves often tell small lies in little matters but would be ashamed to resort to large scale falsehoods. It would never come into their heads to fabricate colossal untruths, and they would not believe that others could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously.

“Even though the facts which prove this to be so may be brought clearly to their minds, they will still doubt and waver and will continue to think that there may be some other explanation. For the grossly impudent lie always leaves traces behind it, even after it has been nailed down, a fact which is known to all expert liars in this world and to all who conspire together in the art of lying.”

(Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf, Vol. 1, Ch. X.)

A globe earth is unproven pseudo-science but is believed worldwide. It is a huge lie that has taken on a life of it’s own, being passed from generation to generation. Anyone who dares question it is mocked and ridiculed. Vladimir Lenin reportedly observed: “A lie told often enough becomes the truth.”

If a person even says the words “flat earth,” the hearer snickers. The erroneous mental image that springs immediately to mind is of a flat plain where, if one isn’t careful, a person could trip and fall off the edge.

Nowhere is this phenomenon seen as clearly as the belief that the earth is a sphere, spinning through space as it revolves around the sun—which itself is hurtling thousands of kilometers an hour through space. If a person even says the words “flat earth,” the hearer snickers. The (incorrect) mental image that springs immediately to mind is of a flat plain where, if one isn’t careful, a person could trip and fall off the edge.
WLC invites you to suspend your belief in a round globe. Carefully study the accumulated evidence for an enclosed earth that is not circling the sun.
It begins with a man…

Nicolaus Copernicus

Copernicus is known for proposing a new and different model of the universe. Prior to Copernicus, most well educated people believed in the Ptolemaic model of the universe, which placed a flat, enclosed earth at the center of the universe. Copernicus suggested that the sun, not the earth, was the center of the solar system and the earth revolved around it. This “heliocentric” model is what is taught today, while the earlier “geocentric” model of everything revolving around the earth has been relegated to the historic dustbin.
Most people are aware that it was for promoting Copernicus’ ideas that Galileo Galilei was persecuted by the Roman Catholic hierarchy less than 100 years after Copernicus’ death. Accused of heresy, Galileo was forced to recant his beliefs and spent the last nine years of his life under house arrest. However, what most people do not know are the following significant facts:

Nicolaus Copernicus, 1473-1543

1. Copernicus belonged to the Third Order of St. Dominic. When he wished to pursue a career in the church, he studied, among other things, astrology and astronomy.
2. While some sources maintain that Copernicus never took the vows of a priest, he was a cleric and never married. Furthermore, “the fact that in 1537 King Sigismund of Poland put his name on the list of four candidates for the vacant episcopal seat of Ermland, makes it probable that, at least in later life, he had entered the priesthood.”²
3. When sought for advice about how to reform the calendar, Copernicus at first demurred to answer, but later wrote a series of letters to Pope Paul III containing accurate observations which “actually served, seventy years later, as a basis for the working out of the Gregorian calendar.”³
4. For a long time Copernicus refused to publish his beliefs on a heliocentric universe. Finally, in 1531, he published a brief abstract, stating his theory in seven axioms. From this, the concept spread rapidly.
5. Two years later, Albert Widmanstadt lectured on the Copernican model before Pope Clement VII, an action for which he was rewarded.
6. In 1536, Cardinal Schonberg, who was Archbishop of Capua, urged Copernicus to fully publish his theory or, at the least, have a copy made at the Cardinal’s expense.
7. Between 1539 and 1541, a 66-page letter and a preliminary chapter were published and distributed.
8. As Copernicus explained in a letter to Pope Paul III, he finally yielded to the insistent urging of Cardinal Schonberg, Bishop Giese of Culm, and other knowledgeable men, and agreed to submit his manuscripts for publication. A completed, published copy of his book was placed in Copernicus’ hands just hours before his death on May 24, 1543.

It is important to note that Copernicus’ theory of a heliocentric universe was well known to the upper levels of the Catholic Church in his lifetime. While Copernicus preferred to publish his theories after his death, it was at the persistent entreaties of high-ranking church officials that he finally agreed to publish his manuscripts. Furthermore, it was not the Catholics who initially rejected his views, but Martin Luther, Philip Melancthon and other Protestant leaders. Catholics themselves admit: “Opposition was first raised against the Copernican system by Protestant theologians for Biblical reasons.”⁴
Question: why would Roman Catholic leaders persistently pressure Copernicus to publicize his theories of a heliocentric universe, theories for which they condemned Galileo less than 100 years later?
The answer is complicated, but reveals the motivation for what became a vast Jesuit conspiracy: it was necessary to change the public conception from an accurate understanding of the shape of the earth to a false belief so people would be more susceptible to the final delusion of an “alien” invasion.

Hegelian Dialectic

The Hegelian Dialectic is a tool used by governments and various change agents to influence public thinking and bring about a desired change. Simply put, a problem is artificially created. This problem draws out a pre-determined response. The response is then used to produce the desired solution.

Almost all major events in history employ the Hegelian Dialectic of: Problem – manufacture a crisis or take advantage of one already in place in order to get the desired Reaction of public outcry whereby the public demands a Solution which has been predetermined from the beginning.⁵ 

The Catholic hierarchy was presented with a perfect opportunity to lay the groundwork for a global deception to bear fruit in the final generation. The deception required a small, globe earth, spinning through vast, limitless reaches of space, a space inhabited by aliens and other sentient life forms. This created doubt in the Bible as the inspired Word of Yahuwah, for the Bible presents the earth as unmoving. It also removed the Creator far away from His creation by presenting a universe unimaginably vast. The change agent to engineer this transformation in belief was the newly created Society of Jesus, commonly known as the Jesuits.

Jesuits & The Counter Reformation

Paul III Approves the Jesuits, © Jesuit Institute.

At the very time Copernicus was resisting appeals to publish his theory of a heliocentric solar system, the Roman Catholic Church was waging war on the new Protestantism. Catholics admit the “Counter Reformation” was “an effort to stem the tide of Protestantism by genuine reform within the Catholic Church.”⁶ The Jesuit order was established in 1540 under the approval of Pope Paul III—the very pope with whom Copernicus had corresponded regarding calendar reform and to whom Copernicus dedicated his book, Revolutions of the Heavenly Bodies!
It cannot be overstated: the Catholic Church was the force behind Copernicus, persistently urging the reluctant cleric to spread abroad his heliocentric theories that contradicted Scripture. The newly formed Jesuits were the perfect instruments to affect a clandestine operation, changing public perception of the authority of Scripture, the earth, and the Creator. The difference between the Jesuits and all other Catholic orders was that the Jesuits deliberately invited demonic spirits into their followers. This was done through the “spiritual exercises” of Jesuit founder, Ignatius Loyola. These spiritual exercises made them virtual mind-controlled slaves. In their own words, they were to be as a “corpse or cadaver” to “unhesitatingly obey” the will of their superiors.
When the Jesuits deliberately opened their minds to the influences of demons, it brought in a spirit of evil and a demonic intelligence that was unprecedented in Catholicism. It also made the Jesuits extremely successful in every undertaking. Because human life is so fragile, individual lives are so short, no one person, or even group of persons, can plan and implement the long-reaching evil that the Jesuits have perpetrated upon the world.
Guided and inspired by supernatural demonic intelligences, the Jesuits became infamous for their adeptness at deception and subterfuge; their ability to infiltrate governments and institutions of learning, and the influence they wielded, standing as advisors to kings and leaders in education. Working through government entities and education, they have been able to guide scientific research to further their own ends and present the biggest lie of all time: a globe earth.

Follow The Clues…

Following Copernicus’ reluctant publication of his theories, the Jesuit order produced more astronomers than probably any other specific demographic in Europe. That an ostensibly religious order should produce so many scientists is itself cause for surprise. That the scientists of said order were focused almost exclusively on only one area of science is further cause to question. A study of astronomers from the 16^th through the 21^st centuries reveals a veritable Who’s Who of leading astronomers who were also Jesuit priests. Even the modern civil calendar, the Gregorian calendar, was crafted by a Jesuit astronomer, Christopher Clavius.
 As long as people accepted Scripture’s cosmology of the earth as a fixed, immovable planet under a protective covering, there was no foundation on which to build lies designed to make the human mind doubt the word of Yah. By decreasing people’s trust in the dependability of the Bible, it curiously increased confidence in the pope as Heaven’s appointed authority on what to believe. The Jesuits have always been enemies of the Bible. Since the Catholic Church ranks papal decree and tradition above the Scriptures anyway, decreasing confidence in Scripture increases confidence in pastors, priests and the pope as authorities that know more than the common man can.

 

Just as soon as the Biblical, geocentric model was set aside, a new explanation was required. A globe earth, traveling millions of miles around the sun, itself moving through illimitable realms of space, became necessary to explain the new heliocentric model of the universe. This, in turn, created an environment in which the writings of Charles Darwin found a receptive audience who took his elementary speculations still further. Just so long as people relied upon the Bible as the supreme authority, they would never have accepted Darwin’s theories. But once science “proved” the Bible was wrong about something as basic as the shape and movement (or non-movement) of the earth, science sharply diverged from religious faith. Anything was possible! Nothing was above question, including the creation of the world and the existence of extraterrestrials.

Advancing the Lie

“The Big Bang Theory is [today] the leading explanation about how the universe began. At its simplest, it talks about the universe as we know it starting with a small singularity, then inflating over the next 13.8 billion years to the cosmos that we know today.”⁷ The Big Bang Theory is atheist science’s answer to Genesis 1.
Father Andrew Pinsent serves on the Faculty of Theology at Oxford University. He holds advanced degrees in theology from the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome as well as a doctorate in philosophy. He also holds a doctorate in particle physics from Oxford. This incredibly intelligent priest/scientist stated in 2015:

Being both a priest and a former particle physicist at CERN, I am often asked to give talks on faith and science. Quite often young people ask me the following question, “How can you be a priest and believe in the Big Bang?” To which I am delighted to respond, “We invented it! Or more precisely, Fr Georges Lemaître invented the theory that is today called the ‘Big Bang’ and everyone should know about him.”⁸

Monseigneur Georges Lemaître, Jesuit-trained priest, author of the "Big Bang" theory (Photo: Wikimedia via Katholieke Universiteit Leuven)

That is correct. The author of the Big Bang theory was none other than the Jesuit-trained priest, Father Georges Lemaître. On October 28, 2014, Sarah Kerr reported on Pope Francis’ address to the Pontifical Academy of Sciences. In his remarks, the pontiff “said the Big Bang theory is compatible with the Catholic Church’s teaching on creation.”⁹ Pope Francis stated: “The Big Bang, that today is considered to be the origin of the world, does not contradict the creative intervention of God; on the contrary, it requires it.”
Follow from cause to effect: without a globe earth circling the sun through the far reaches of space, you do not have the Big Bang. Without the Big Bang, you do not have evolution. Without evolution, you are more likely to accept creation as an act of intelligent design by a divine Creator. The Roman Catholic Church does, in fact, accept evolution. In her report, Kerr further stated: “The pope said it is possible to believe in both, insisting God was responsible for the Big Bang from which all life evolved.”¹⁰
Acceptance of evolution and its integral law of “survival of the fittest,” gave rise to the bloodbaths of the 20^th century in which millions lost their lives. Numerous researchers have established incontrovertible connections between the Vatican, Swiss bankers, and the Nazi party.¹¹ Karlheinz Deschner goes so far as to say there was outright collaboration between the Vatican and the Nazi party.¹² Regardless of the level of collaboration between the Vatican and the Nazis, (not to mention the involvement of the American Bush dynasty) what happened after World War II is even more significant.
Operation Paperclip smuggled hundreds of Nazi scientists, including top SS officers on trial for war crimes, into the United States for use in America’s Cold War space race.¹³ One of these, Nazi-party member, Wernher von Braun, was promoted to head up NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center, in which position he headed the development of the Saturn V booster rocket to “win the space race” with the Soviets.

Under Operation Paper Clip, some 350 German scientists and former intelligence agents were given visas and well-paying jobs. Many of those scientists had questionable pasts. Braun himself had been an active member of the Nazi party, and his colleague at NASA, Dr. Hubertus Strughold, a specialist in aviation medicine, had performed experiments on concentration camp inmates.¹⁴

The purpose of this massive—and illegal—undertaking appears to have been for the establishment of a worldwide authority on all things relating to space and astronomy. NASA became the public face of space. It has long acted as a front providing an unsuspecting world with pseudoscience, legitimized by the backing of the US government. (For more information on the fraudulent legacy of NASA, see “The Occult Roots of NASA & The Ongoing Fraud,” Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3.)
NASA is its own monopoly. It controls the dissemination of public information on astronomy while hiding facts it does not want the public to know. While many countries and universities have observatories, it is always the statements, photographs, and “discoveries” of NASA that make the news headlines. With NASA in charge of the flow of astronomical information to the public, it appears that the Vatican has stayed a central player in the real, true astronomy that is not being released to the public.
For hundreds of years, the Vatican has owned the most telescopes and observatories of any organization: private, university or government. NASA and the Vatican jointly own LUCIFER, the world’s largest binocular telescope. According to the official Vatican website, the Vatican observatory “is one of the oldest astronomical institutes in the world.” And yet where are the photographs? Where are the news releases of the latest discoveries? What have the Jesuit astronomers been doing for the last 500 years? Only they know.
NASA’s public releases of information, promoting the idea of an ever larger, expanding universe of incomprehensible size, has led naturally to the supposition that there must be alien life on other planets. After all, if the same serendipitous events that produced life on earth, existed everywhere due to the Big Bang, why couldn’t intelligent life have evolved elsewhere as well? In combination with Hollywood and the science-fiction genre, NASA has created an environment in which contact with extraterrestrial life forms is as desired as it is feared.
A recent book may hold the key to understanding the final step in this centuries long conspiracy to delude the final generation.

LUCIFER, Aliens & The Coming Of Christ

Tom Horn and Chris Putnam, authors of Petrus Romanus: The Final Pope Is Here, recently published a mind-boggling book in which they allege the Vatican is actively looking for extra-terrestrial life with their new LUCIFER telescope. The book, Exo-Vaticana: Petrus Romanus, Project LUCIFER, and the Vatican's Astonishing Exo-Theological Plan for the Arrival of an Alien Savior, claims the Vatican is waiting for an extraterrestrial saviour. In researching their book,

Horn and Putnam were granted permission to visit the observatory on Mount Graham, which hosts the Vatican Advanced Technology Telescope (VATT), in September 2012.

Not only were they able to discuss the study of deep space with the Jesuit astronomers there, but they also gained access to one the top Vatican astronomers in Rome.

The Vatican's Large Binocular Telescope on Mt. Graham

Horn said Brother Guy Consolmagno, who has also been called the papal astronomer, told the authors some astounding information during five interviews.

"He says without apology that very soon the nations of the world are going to look to the aliens for their salvation", said Horn.

Consolmagno also gave the authors private Vatican documents which reveal much of the thinking of high-level theologians and astronomers within the Church.

Horn said these documents show that they believe that we are soon to be visited by an alien savior from another world.¹⁵

These statements are not that shocking when the Vatican’s ever evolving stance on science and space is understood. On May 12, 2014, Pope Francis expressed a willingness to baptize extraterrestrials who expressed a desire for baptism. While the comment was clearly made in a joking, tongue-in-cheek manner, it made international headlines with one headline crowing: “Cool Pope Is So Cool That He’s Willing To Baptize Martians!” The net result was that it removed the idea from the realm of science fiction and transferred it to the realm of possibility. By the very act of talking about it as though it might be a possibility, the mind becomes more accustomed to the concept.
After the Vatican hosted a five-day conference on the possibility of extraterrestrial life, Roman Catholic priest, Father Jonathan Morris, appeared on (US) Fox News to answer some questions. The priest’s statements reveal the hidden agenda pursued by the Jesuits since the days of Copernicus. When asked how it would change church doctrine if it could be established that intelligent extraterrestrial life actually exists, Morris replied:

That would definitely make us go back and say, “Maybe our understanding of perennial [lasting for an indefinitely long time] truths needs to be updated.” Now, the way we look at it is this: it’s not about whether God was the Creator but rather how He created. It’s not a question of whether original sin, this Adam and Eve story, is true or not, but our understanding of how that played out. So, it’s growing in our understanding of perennial truths.¹⁶

And there it is: questioning the cosmology of the earth, leads to the questioning of Scripture and Scripture’s Author. It prepares the way for the overwhelming deception prophesied in Revelation 9.

The First Woe

Earlier, it was stated: The Catholic hierarchy was presented with a perfect opportunity to lay the groundwork for a global deception to bear fruit in the final generation. The purpose for this entire intricate, multi-layered deception spanning centuries is to deceive the world’s masses in order to create a desired outcome. It is the old Hegelian Dialectic (explained earlier) all over again. In order to usher the world into a united One World Religion with the pope reigning supreme over all, the devil will create a PROBLEM. This problem will cause a REACTION among the citizens of earth who will demand a SOLUTION. The solution is a predetermined outcome.

7 Trumpets of Revelation | Demonic Invasion of 1st Woe (Trumpet 5)

The all-knowing, wise Creator has revealed this culmination of deception in Revelation 9:

And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit.

And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit. 

And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power.

And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of [Yah] in their foreheads. 

And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man.

And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them…and their power was to hurt men five months.

And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon. (Revelation 9:1-6;10-11, KJV)

The key to unlocking this prophecy is found in the phrase “bottomless pit.” It comes from the Greek word, abussos, and is the exact same word translated “deep” in Luke 8:31 when the demons begged to be sent into the swine rather than sent back to the bottomless pit. It is the same as the English word, abyss. The star, fallen from Heaven, is a clear reference to Lucifer/Satan. When he is therefore given the “key to the bottomless pit” he releases hordes of demons upon the earth.
This event, characterized as a “woe” by the Revelator, will appear to be an alien invasion from outer space. These evil angels will have a very distinct appearance, described in Scripture. As extraterrestrials, they will launch a horrific attack upon the world that will last five months, or 150 days.
During this time, Yahuwah’s people, those who have accepted His seal, will be protected from these evil entities. This is not the final seal given to protect the righteous from the seven last plagues. However, protection from demonic attack will be provided all who love and obey the Creator. All who have knowingly rebelled against Heaven will suffer greatly under the pitiless demons.
The trumpets, of which the first woe is the fifth, are not the same as the seven last plagues. The trumpets come before the close of probation. They are both a solemn warning and a merciful invitation. They warn that probation for all is soon to close and they invite every soul on earth to accept Yahuwah’s free gift of eternal life. Those who heed the warning of the trumpets will show their love and gratitude by bringing their lives in submission to His will. They will choose to live in obedience to all the requirements of His divine law, including that of the fourth commandment.
The trumpets are a loving gift to those who soon must stand in the sight of the Holy Creator without a Mediator following the close of probation. This series of events was foretold almost 2,000 years ago, well before there was a Roman Catholic Church, let alone a Jesuit order. It shows as nothing else could, the Father’s foreknowledge. While it warns of the swiftly coming close of probation, it also will inspire faith and trust in He who foresaw these calamitous events nearly two millennia before they occurred. The remnant will need strong faith in the Father’s love as these events unfold. As they see the trumpets sound, one by one just as prophesied, their faith and courage will be strengthened and they will be led to rely with even more firmness on the promises of He who cannot lie. 
Alien invasion is the manufactured PROBLEM. The natural REACTION, arising from every suffering soul on earth, will be for a man to stand in the gap, to negotiate a peace treaty with the invaders. As with every other time the Hegelian Dialectic has been used to manipulate events and shape world politics, the problem, the reaction, and the solution will all be predetermined and under the direct control of Satan himself.

Pope Francis, as "the eighth king" (Revelation 17) and final pope, will be the world’s savior to step forward and negotiate peace. As a Jesuit, he has already come under the direct control of demons via the spiritual exercises of Ignatius Loyola. Read the Demonic Jesuit Oath!

Pope Francis, as "the eighth king" and final pope, will be the world’s savior to step forward and negotiate peace. As a Jesuit, he has already come under the direct control of demons via the spiritual exercises of Ignatius Loyola. He has also established sympathetic ties with other religions. Therefore, he is the logical choice to be mankind’s representative, establishing a peace treaty with these invaders from outer space.
This treaty will:

1. End the war exactly 150 days after it started;
2. Place the pope as mankind’s representative at the head of the New World Order;
3. Place the pope as mankind’s savior at the head of a new, unified One World Religion.

As “savior of the world,” the pope will then be in the perfect position to establish one worship day for all, Sunday, calculated by the pagan/papal calendar. This unification of the world under one government and one religion will appear, under the circumstances, to be logical and all who want the easy way out will cooperate in participating and enforcing this new one world theocracy. All heads of state will hand their sovereignty over to the pope as Scripture explicitly spells out: “And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast. These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.” (Revelation 17:12-13, KJV)
This is what precipitates the final struggle between the forces of good and evil. Under threat of continued extraterrestrial aggression, the peoples of earth will unite to wage relentless war on all who will stand for truth. Those conscientious few who place the word of Yah above all earthly mandates will be seen as dangers. Individual religious liberty will be sacrificed on the altar of expediency and it will be argued that it is better for a few to perish rather than the entire world be plunged into suffering under continued alien aggression.
When the fifth seal was opened, John “saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of [Yahuwah], and for the testimony which they held: and they cried with a loud voice saying, How long, O Master, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?” (Revelation 6:9-10) The answer given is portentous. It foreshadows the intense persecution that shall come upon the righteous after the first woe when many will be martyred for their faith when they refuse to unite with the rest of the wicked world in worshipping on a day that pays homage to the great Deceiver. “And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellow servants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.” (Revelation 6:11, KJV)

Get Ready! Get Ready! Get Ready!

This deception would never work if people knew the true shape of the earth and the universe. Hence, the need for a massive re-education program.
For 500 years, this Jesuit conspiracy has taught a globe earth, circumnavigating the sun—itself spinning around the center of an immense galaxy that is likewise speeding through limitless space. Within this immense realm, it is presumed there are other species of intelligent life that inhabit other worlds. These lies will culminate in the climactic “alien invasion” prophesied in Revelation 9. The ultimate deception will occur when the pope negotiates a peace treaty on behalf of the human race with demons. As Satan’s representative, he will assume leadership of the world and, in the person of the pope, Satan will have achieved his long-desired goal as ruler of the earth.
The first woe, faithfully described by the Revelator, reveals the opening sequence of events in Satan’s end game to deceive the world just before the Second Coming of Yahushua. For nearly 500 hundred years, the Jesuits have worked to convince the human race that the world is round. Such a belief has brought with it a whole host of companion errors all for perpetrating the ultimate con game: an alien invasion that will allow this Jesuit pope to unite the world under one government and one religion.
And yet, the first woe is just the beginning. It is but the opening salvo in this climax of the ages. It lays the foundation for an even greater fraud that will follow quickly….

 

The Bolivian salt flats are the largest in the world, covering roughly 11,000 square kilometers. If the world were a sphere, rather than flat, the above picture would not be possible. The stated circumference of the earth at the equator would mean that it’s curvature would prevent one from seeing the mountain range seen here mid-picture across the salt flats.

WLC felt that it was imperative to publish the connection between the Jesuits' wickedly clandestine operations, the "globe" earth lie, and the imminent sounding of the Trumpets before sharing all of the details regarding how the team came to this understanding.  Yahuwah willing, WLC will soon publish material illustrating clearly how we can know with certainty that the Earth is not a globe.  In the meantime, all are encouraged to prayerfully investigate this issue for yourselves.  Please note that not all of the globular earth images have yet been removed from the site.  These will be removed as quickly as we are able to manage.  Praise Yahuwah for every additional ray of light in these last days.

NASA Hacker: I Found Evidence America Has Deep Space Warships

According to a hacker who is facing a ten-year legal battle after breaking into NASA computers, the United States has a fully operational fleet of Space Warships.

Gary McKinnon, firmly believes that he came across the ultimate information that proves the US have a secret space program operated by the Navy with fully operational warships that operate in Space.

In a new interview on UFO channel Richplanet TV, McKinnon finally reveals the entire truth about his findings saying: ‘I kept going for months and months. I kept thinking, ‘They’re going to close this door’.

McKinnon said that he used a software called Landsearch which allowed him to search all files and folders of interest to him.

‘I scanned and looked for documents, I found an Excel spreadsheet which said, ‘Non-terrestrial officers’, states McKinnon.

‘It had ranks and names. It had tabs for ‘material transfer’ between ships. I took that to be, they must have a ships based in space – the names started with U.S.S.’

Gary McKinnon is accused of mounting the biggest ever hack in the history of the Unite3d States by breaking into the computers of the Army, Air force, Navy and NASA.

During his latest interview, McKinnon describes a conversation from a former NASA whistleblower Donna Hare, who had been told by a colleague that NASA was trying to hide delicate information by “airbrushing” UFOs from their photos.

“There was a colleague, who was in another room — they all had secret clearance but they were on different projects — and she (Hare) was in this chap’s lab or room or whatever it is and he said come and take a look at this,” said McKinnon.

While there are many people who firmly believe this is yet another elaborate hoax, there have been a series of former NASA and government employees who back up the claims made by McKinnon.

According to statements from a former Marine not only have humans made it to Mars in the past, but we have developed a secret space program and flotilla that operates in space. The former US Marine, was posted on the red planet for years and his mission was to protect the five human colonies from indigenous life forms on Mars.

According to the former Marine known as Captain Kaye, not only did he spend years on Mars, but he also served aboard a giant space carrier for three years.

He worked for the Mars Defense Force (MDF) which is owned and operated by the Mars Colony Corporation (MCC) which is basically a conglomerate of financial institutions, government and tech companies.

Kaye and his team were part of a special section of the United States Marines with a highly classified mission, protect and ensure the existence of five newly-established colonies on the surface of the red planet.

The Earth Defense Force, another secret military branch has military recruits from countries such as the United States, China and Russia.

Parts of the testimony from Captain Kaye are consistent with that of Michael Relfe, another whistleblower who claims to have served 20 years tour on the red planet.

Laura Magdalene Eisenhower, great-granddaughter of former President Eisenhower claims that efforts were made to recruit here onto a human colony on Mars, led by researcher Dr. Hal Puthoff.

According to “Jackie”, there are humans on Mars, and we have been on the red planet for over 20 years. ‘Jackie’, she and six other employees saw the exact same thing, suggesting this might be the evidence that proves that a secret space program did exist (or might even still).

According to ‘Jackie’ while working as part of the team downloading telemetry from the Viking Lander, she saw human setting foot on the surface of the red planet via a live feed from Mars.

In an interview with Coast-to-Coast AM, Jackie talked about humans on Mars, something that has been discussed among other alleged NASA employees for years.

Many Ufologists firmly believe that the statements made by the above individuals is accurate and that this information is being withheld from the general public.

**** FEMINISM-FEMINIST-INDEPENDENT WOMAN****

         We live in an age and time where everybody by virtue of their ideals, values and goals in life, want to be associated with groups that have similar resonance. This is normal of all human beings, because we are naturally social beings. Hence the saying " No man is an island"...
And this is true of sociology. which has the basic premise that to understand a person better, the group the person belongs to, or the social gathering the person interacts most with should first be well understood.
         The first time I heard of the word FEMINISM, the writer of the article that conveyed that information pictured the word as being associated with lesbians,spinsters, lonely women, etc., but this is what the Oxford dictionary says...
The Oxford English Dictionary defines ‘a feminist’ simply as ‘An advocate or supporter of the rights and equality of women’. Yet the term ‘feminist’ has always been contentious. This is partly because it connotes militancy and an ‘anti-men’ stance, but also because it has come to be associated with elite groups of women.

Google dictionary also defines feminism as...
a range of movements and ideologies that share a common goal: to define, establish, and achieve equal political, economic, cultural, personal, and social rights for women. This includes seeking to establish equal opportunities for women in education and employment.

       Clearly, this movement rose at some point in history when women realised they could offer more to society than their normal confinement in the kitchen!
But then, just like many social movements, there were lesbians and certain alpha females who wanted the ideals of the group for their personal objectives. So with time, they distorted the main aim of the movement which was to seek equal rights for women.
Some years back, men were considered most intelligent, strongest and most gifted, while the women were only useful in bed, in the kitchen and during child bearing!
So, as you can see, this movement has helped many women rise to the educational ladder, and also helped them prove their worth in the the sciences and arts. Indeed, women have proven they are as good at many things as men.
       To the men who think a gifted and an ambitious woman is a threat to their manhood, they must man up and realise that such a woman lives in her own womanhood, and is a master of her talents. She appreciates the fact that she's been born a woman and never sees herself as a weakling as compared to men. She aims at helping society with her talents. She never puts herself in a constant rat-race with males.

       There are several disadvantages that came about as a result of this movement, but why focus on them? Let us look at the brighter side of things.
Here is an interesting piece from wikihow.com, on how to be a feminist........

How to Be a Feminist

        There is no single way to be a feminist; being a feminist can take on very different forms. Essentially, a feminist is someone who believes in equality between the genders. Most people would say that they favor equality and gender rights. They believe that men and women should have equal opportunities and the ability to do whatever they want with their lives.

1. Love yourself. It may sound cheesy, but if you are a woman, loving yourself and practicing self-care empowers you. When you love yourself, you are essentially saying “my humanity matters.”
With this is loving your body, even (especially!) if it does not fit the media’s stereotype of perfection. Feminists often fight the misconception that an attractive female has one particular set of traits.
This does not mean that you can’t spend time making yourself look pretty. You can wear makeup or high heels and be a feminist, but you don’t have to!

2. Share equal responsibilities in your relationship. It can be common for members of heterosexual relationships and marriages to slip into traditional gender roles. If you want to stay home with your children while your husband works, that’s fine! You can still be a feminist! However, you and your partner should make mindful decisions about household responsibilities.
If you do most of the cooking, perhaps your partner should clean up the kitchen after dinner. If your partner does laundry on the weekends, you can contribute in other ways, like by vacuuming. As long as you’re making decisions about responsibilities based on choice and personal preference, and not on gender stereotypes, you’ll be incorporating feminism into your lifestyle.

3. Raise your children to believe in gender equality. There are many ways to raise children to be feminists. A good start is encouraging them to embrace their individual interests and passions, regardless of their gender. You can also teach them to question gender assumptions (such as why girls’ items are invariably pink and purple, but boys’ items are never pink). Help them make life goals that do not hinge upon their genders.
It is also important to emphasize both the mother’s and the father’s role as a parent. This will minimize the assumption that mothers parent while fathers work.

4. Maintain positive equality in the workplace. In an ideal work, workplaces would all be blind to gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, and other life choices. In reality, this is not always the case. Maintain professionalism in the work place and always perform your best; if you feel that you are being discriminated against, (ie: paid less for similar work or passed over for a promotion) due to your gender. Do not be afraid to speak out about the inequity.

If you have a managerial position, ensure fairness and equity in hiring, pay, and promotion policies.

5. Empower women. There is an unfortunate modern tendency for women to judge and belittle the choices of other women, (particularly on social media). To be a feminist, support and empower other women instead of judging them. Realize that women who make decisions that differ from your own have likely put as much thought into those decisions as you have.

Here is a piece from Lydia Forson, a famous Ghanaian actress (Sourced from Ghanaweb.com).....

INDEPENDENT WOMEN - The Misconception

     Being an independent woman automatically to most means, single, never been married, no children and may probably never want to be with a man.

     I’ve always maintained that I’m not a feminist, because like “independent women” it’s always misconceived that feminist again are single, unmarried, and hate men. Any woman that takes a stand and doesn’t conform to societies rules of life is automatically a bitter single woman. And that’s why I refuse to allow people put me in that bubble. But perhaps I have fed into this stereotype myself and it is the reason why I dislike the word so much. The fear that immediately I label myself a feminist I automatically join the pool of women who are constantly against anything traditional.

     So sadly in as much as I’ve fought against this misconception, by shying away from it I’ve actually without realizing it started to believe it and is probably why I dissociate myself from it.

     However, if I were to give myself a label it would probably be an ‘EQUALIST’ meaning I’m in the fight for all humans to be treated with respect and given equal rights. Words like feminist, chauvinist and all other labels etc wouldn’t exist if people were treated equally.

     Now about ‘independent women’; being an independent woman to me doesn’t mean I don’t want a man, but that a man isn’t the center of my existence, a man doesn’t define who I am. It means I recognize that I have a destiny and goals that God has set for me, and these goals may or may not include a man. It doesn’t mean I don’t believe in marriage or companionship, but that I respect that the institution is sacred and should be treated as such. And I know men will come at you with” you’re independent so it means you don’t want a man to take care of you”.

     Far from it, I’m actually quite traditional and recognize a man’s role in a relationship. I expect my man to step up to the plate and be the man in our relationship. Being independent just means that I can live without all of that, but choose not to, it means I’m more than who I date or marry, but that they’re just a part of my story.

     Sadly our society and the world continue to beat down any woman who even attempts to have an ambition outside of marriage or relationships.

      A man isn’t and shouldn’t be your destiny, he should be your partner and together you can help each other achieve your goals and build an empire. What’s the point in educating women if it’s only to tell them that they’re not supposed to want anything more out of life, or they shouldn’t dare to dream?

     Why empower women only to tell them to not be more than the men they’re with, or constantly feel like the more they achieve the harder it will be for them to find a man.

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie said it best, she said:

“We teach girls to shrink themselves, to make themselves smaller. We say to girls, you can have ambition, but not too much. You should aim to be successful, but not too successful. Otherwise, you would threaten the man. Because I am female, I am expected to aspire to marriage. I am expected to make my life choices always keeping in mind that marriage is the most important. Now marriage can be a source of joy and love and mutual support but why do we teach girls to aspire to marriage and we don’t teach boys the same? We raise girls to see each other as competitors not for jobs or accomplishments, which I think can be a good thing, but for the attention of men. We teach girls that they cannot be sexual beings in the way that boys are.”

    A real man won’t be threatened by his woman’s achievements; neither will he think her less of a woman for wanting to be more than a wife and a mother. A real man will recognize the gem in the woman he’s with and realize that instead of trying to beat her down he should lift her up.

    Perhaps when they said “behind a successful man is a woman” they didn’t mean women were hiding behind the men, but that they were the driving force behind their men’s success.

    So don't let the world change you into something you’re not, or force you to change your dreams in the fear that having dreams automatically means living a lonely life.

    Marriage is great, but being happy in marriage is the greatest.

So focus on being happy and the rest will fall into place. Don’t feed into the assumption that wanting more out of life means you won’t get a man.
