John:
It is starting to happen to Christianity as you said years ago when we studied Revelation. The Catholic Church in Rome will have to start paying property tax. Estimates are that it will amount to over a Billion Dollars a year.
==========
I haven’t heard that news report. Still, it is certain that the Church (not just Catholic) will be plundered and ruined by the Beast and his ten kings whom John spoke of in the book of Revelation.
========================
One thing hit me this morning which I hadn’t considered before now. While it is not the most important aspect, when a person participates in that religion, are they partaking in all the property stolen under false pretenses when people wouldn’t concede to it’s doctrine? Not wanting to take away from those who have been tortured and put to death as faithful martyrs. I wonder if that is the predominate way property was stolen.
==========
Yes, whoever is a member of the catholic Church shares in her guilt for the persecution, plunder, and murder of the saints of God over the centuries. And the Protestant sects have done similar evils to saints, although not nearly as much. To prevent any of His children from having innocent blood on their hands is one reason God is calling all who belong to Him to come out of Christianity altogether.
========================
It is sad to think none of our family in that abomination are being prepared for what is coming. JESUS, help us help your people!
==========
Yes, in one way, they are not being prepared, but in another way they are. They are not being prepared to OVERCOME the beast and “the strong delusion” that God will send upon His children who refuse His call to come out. That is what you are talking about. At the same time, they ARE being prepared, by Christian doctrines and traditions, to receive the Beast and to believe the Lie that Paul said was coming for them, in 2Thessalonians 2.
=========================
Also I pray, “God, please help us prepare for whatever part of salvation history we will be a part of, so we will do those things which please you!”
The spirit has been saying, “Come out from among them, and touch not the unclean thing” for a long time, God, please allow your people to understand what the “unclean thing” is – Christianity.
The anointing is what destroys the yoke! We will need more strength to live uprightly in the wretched time and place that is coming. As matters take their destined course, we shouldn’t expect any different treatment from the saints in the past, but be comforted by the fact it is part of God’s plan.
