The
Eternal Sacrifice:
The
Sacrifice of the Mass is the "eternal and permanent sacrifice"
of Num.28:1-6 and Ex.29:38-43:
Numbers 28:1-6 And the LORD
spake unto Moses, saying, Command the children of Israel, and
say unto them, My offering, and my bread for my sacrifices made
by fire, for a sweet savour unto me, shall ye observe to offer
unto me in their due season. And thou shalt say unto them, This
is the offering made by fire which ye shall offer unto the LORD;
two lambs of the first year without spot day by day, for a continual
burnt offering. The one lamb shalt thou offer in the morning,
and the other lamb shalt thou offer at even; And a tenth part
of an ephah of flour for a meat offering, mingled with the fourth
part of an hin of beaten oil. It is a continual burnt offering, which was
ordained in mount Sinai for a sweet savour, a sacrifice made
by fire unto the LORD.
Exodus 29:38-43 Now this is that which thou shalt
offer upon the altar; two lambs of the first year day by day
continually. The one lamb thou shalt offer in the morning; and
the other lamb thou shalt offer at even: And with the one lamb
a tenth deal of flour mingled with the fourth part of an hin
of beaten oil; and the fourth part of an hin of wine for a drink
offering. And the other lamb thou shalt offer at even, and shalt
do thereto according to the meat offering of the morning, and
according to the drink offering thereof, for a sweet savour,
an offering made by fire unto the LORD. This shall be a continual
burnt offering throughout your generations at the door of the
tabernacle of the congregation before the LORD: where I will
meet you, to speak there unto thee.
43And
there I will meet with the children of Israel, and the tabernacle
shall be sanctified by my glory.
The
Roman Catholic Church has been the Protestant Church’s whipping
boy for almost 500 years. Ignorant and lying men with personal agenda’s
of padding their pews and adding stature to where no stature
was due have accused these people of every ill that was in the
Church. Since my days in bible school starting 1976
I began a search in earnest to find people that had the Holy
Spirit prophesied and spoke in tongues. I was seeking at the
time to find out if the outpouring that the Apostle Peter spoke
of that was for:
Acts 2:38-40 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every
one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of
sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. For
the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that
are afar off, even as many as the LORD our God shall call.
The
conceit of the Pentecostal movement at that time and still is
that NEVER has such a thing happened since the day of Pentecost.
They
also in another or many erroneous doctrinal statements tell
us that all the gifts of the spirit were demonstrated in the
Old Testament in the Prophets but on the day of Pentecost God
did a “new thing” and that new thing was the gift of tongues.
(On this error I have written a lengthy rebuttal titled “This
is That.” In which I go into the Hebrew and Greek Septuagint
and trace out the prophetic and the use of tongues in the Old
Testament and In Christ Himself.
So in
those early days I reveled at each discovery of a new group
in Church History that moved in the spirit and overtime this
joy became sorrow as I became aware that God has moved again
and again and again and that every single time men came in and
corrupted it. Hence all our dead denominations and churches.
This brought a further insight that the apostasy or the way
these churches felling away has been largely the same
-- and that in itself speak of design not accident.
So in my last two years God focused me on the
events of the Protestant revival of the 1500’s particularly
on Luther, Simons, Calvin and to a lesser degree Zwingli. And
the falling away of the early Church
I recommend
for a fuller understanding of the issues that are at stake here
you go to this websites ancient documents section and read Origen’s
commentary on John Book 1. Briefly Origen in the year 230
tells us that the Church of his day has established an order
of Levites. This
was due to the common believers being so carnal in the generation
prior to him that the Church leaders saw that people were not
praying, not seeking God not reading the bible and thereby they
had deserted their call as a “Kingdom of Priests” So prior to
Origen there had been a council of which there is no record
I am aware where an order of Old Covenant Levites were called
into service to seek God and do the spiritual sacrifices that
were due into him.
So I
will arbitrarily place this momentously bad event at the year
200 – this is 130 before the rise of the Roman catholic Church.
Now with the coming of Levites what MUST Levites have in order
to do service unto God? The answer is an Altar.
Historically
we have two events that verify that this occurred at the time
of the Levites being introduced to the Clesia. First in the
Latin bible and simultaneously in all the ancient European languages
a mysterious non biblical word and designation for God people
was introduced – the word in English is Church. The Word Church
is not an ordinary word in that it is not a Latin word so it
does not follow any Latin rules of etymology or use. We are
told it comes from the Greek but the is not a clean Greek word
it is a corruption of two words. We are told by scholars that
Latin word for Church come from the Greek words: oikios
– house of and Kurios
– Lord. But the spelling of CIR or CER
is NOT consistent with the Greek KUR for Kurios.
Though it is consistent with another Greek word Kerios And on this point our scholars are sllent because at first glace
is seems nonsensical Kerios
mean Horn Kerias mean
little horn. It is used of the little lamb in revelation that
had seven little kerias on its head so the word Church should
be rendered the Okios Kerios – the house of Horn but I will
add here the real meaning his the house of the altar – see the
altar that was used by the Levites had a horned on each corner
it was a horned altar. So this elevates the word Church to the
House of the Altar.
Now
historically right around the target year of 200 AD we find
a third cord to verify these things. I found it in regard to
looking up tithing and offerings. Around the year 200 we find
the appearance of a physical altar in the house of God on which
were placed offering of fruit and grain and the like for the
priest to eat, and dispense to the widows the fatherless and
the poor.
The
coming of the Levites in the Church and Their Altar was such
a momentous occasion that it was inserted into the Lain bible
forever Changing the holy designation of God’s people as the
Ekklesia (The Out called of the called) to Church those of House
of the Levitical altar
Origen
Further states that in his day he found the Levites that were
set in so contemptible and backslidden (that should be of no
surprise since these people were selected from among the carnal
people of a decade earlier.) Origen proposes in this same document that the Church establish
an order of high priests to keep the Levites in line.
Mind
you all this transpired in less than three generations after
the death of the apostle John. So to set the record straight
the Catholic Church did not invent either the Levites the Altar
or and order of High priests these were all handed to them.
My sense
is that when the catholic Church came into being these people
were filled with great fear – And I have found quotes from several
declaring that the Church was all but lost at it founding and
there was a call from several influential members of that day
to repent and return to the church of the early apostolic fathers.
But that call went unheeded
What
the Catholic Church did do was to slow the rate of decline by
enshrining certain doctrine and we owe them a debt of gratitude
for these same people gave us our only book of Church history
for the first three centuries, they set about preserving what
manuscripts were left from the first 300 years and they put
together the canon of Scripture without which no one would have
a new testament today.
This
is not to gloss over all the murder evil and harlotries the
catholic church committed but as believers we can not tell lies
to establish truth. That is the way of darkness. We can not
preach the Gospel through deceitfulness as others have done
before us. We need to walk in the light as He is in the light.
So
we now can see in some measure now how the catholic church came
to the erroneous understanding that the mass was part of the
the Levitical continual sacrifice before God --
On earth:: If it
is "permanent", is got to be now, and it is!, in the
daily Holy Sacrifice of the Eucharist, and not only twice
a day as in Num.28, but over 500,000 times a day, every day!
In Heaven: And
if it is "eternal", is got to be eternally in Heaven,
and it is!, "the lamb standing, like slaughtered"
of Rev.5:6, just in the center of the Throne of Heaven,
the reason of all praise and joy and singing of the saved for
an eternity.
Revelation 5:6 And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and
of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it
had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the
seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.
The word horns here in the Greek
is “Kerias” which literally means “little horns” I
find it interesting that this article cites this verse in reference
to the continual sacrifice.
The
Eucharist, the Perpetual Sacrifice, will be abolished when the
Antichrist comes
Matthew 24:15 When
ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken
of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place,
(whoso readeth, let him understand:)
Daniel
8:11 Yea,
he magnified himself even to the prince of the host, and by him the daily sacrifice was taken away, and the
place of the sanctuary was cast down.
Daniel
9:27 And
he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and
the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations
he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation,
and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.
Daniel
11:31 And
arms shall stand on his part, and they shall pollute the sanctuary
of strength, and shall take away the daily sacrifice, and they
shall place the abomination that maketh desolate.
Daniel 12:11 And
from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away,
and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall
be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.
... it is a pity
that for many Christian churches, the Antichrist has already
come.
1 John 4:3 And every spirit that
confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not
of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have
heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the
world.
... they already do not have the daily sacrifice, the regular
burnt offering... no altar, no priest, no tabernacle ...
From
the above explanation you can more easily read into the mind
set of this author. You can see
why the Levites, their altar,
and their sacrifice, is the core to what this person believes
Christianity is. And that without the sanctity
of the church that is to say the sanctity of Altar, the sanctity
of their priests and the sanctity of their offerings -- the
church is nothing.
I don't know how
the Jews can understand Psalm 2 when God says: "You
are my son... you shall brake them with a rod of iron, and shatter
them in pieces like a potter's vessel" (Ps.2:7,9).
I understand it
reading the Book of Revelation when it says, "the Son
of Man... out of his mouth came a sharp sword, double-edged"...
Revelation
1:16 And
he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went
a sharp two-edged sword: and his countenance was as the sun
shineth in his strength.
The "sword"
is the love of God, and the two edges are his "suffering"
in the Cross, and his "humility" in the Eucharist.
This is a bit too twisted for my mind – I can not grasp the
leaps the writer makes in connecting these dots. I have heard
similar sentiments from born again Spirit-filled disciples of
Madam Guyon. All this indicates to me is that these thoughts
have been in Catholic theology for quite some time
The
"rod of iron" is his love in the Cross and in the
Eucharist... day by day, from the humble throne of the Eucharist
he is shattering into pieces our pride, and now, at the Third
Millennium, without noise, we are already 2 billion Christians
all over the world!.
Before
we move on I want you to realize that this notion of that the
writer has expressed of this Levitical priesthood and a continual
Levitical offering has been going on now for about 1700-1800
years.
We need
to pause here to gain a perspective on this.
How
many years where there kings in Israel – The answer is only
509 years. That is almost the same amount of time today since
the reformation began. If you compare the number of years of
this continual offering of the Mass, with the reformation of
the kingdom of Israel the Mass has been going on three time
longer than either one of them.
There
was a period of almost 400 years in Israel that was without
prophet between Haggai and John the Baptist the length of the
continual sacrifice is over 4 times longer than that.
The
years from the birth of Moses all the way to the death of Christ
total 1600 years exactly and this Sacrifice has gone on longer
than that.
To picture
the full length of this oblation that has been offered, you
would have to go from the death of Christ back to when Issac
married Rebecca to equal the length of time that has passed
And
it should be of interest to note that the Ek-klesia has been
without Apostle and Prophet for almost the same length of time.
And that in itself should be an indicator that perhaps on the
Protestant side of the equation – things may not be doing as
well for the last 500 years as we may have been saying. We have
talked a good game but I fear our words have been found empty
and wanting before God
See
what happened in the 1500’s was a “reformation” not a lets can
everything and see if we can start it all over again. Neither
Calvin nor Luther wanted to leave the Catholic Church because
they liked much of what it was. And we need to not that these
and the others that associated with them were called reformers.
– In other words Protestantism is reformed branches if Roman
Catholicism, or in modern terms Roman Catholic-lite.
The
founders of the reformation unknown to you were all Roman Catholic
Priests and they wanted to change certain things not the whole
lump.
They
did not redo the church from scratch and return the God of Jesus
and the Apostles. What no one has seemed to realize is that
not one of these men has a visitation from Christ or an angel
of God. Not a single one of these men had a visions and dreams
nor did a single one of these men have the operation of the
Gifts of the spirit in their life.
What
happened in the reformation was a corporate restructuring leaving
the principal doctrinal assets and attributes in tact.
The Catholics have priests we have priests. In most Churches
the priests do the pray, study the word, teach, while a half
hearted laity come in once a week receive some mild refreshment.
The
Catholic Church has their altars, and the protestant church
also have altars for what purpose? Even in fundamentalist and
Pentecostal churches the last vestiges of the sins of our fathers
remain firmly in place to this day. But to what end?
I could go on in greater detail but I will not
here. I am only seeking to point out that things are a lot different
than we have been told. And
further that much of our teachings today were derived of the
poison tree from these four main reformers.
And
if we with glee say God is displeased with the Roman Catholics,
then for continuing in many of their same sins and traditions
of the Catholic church God is then equally displeased with us.
We need to start to ask some tough questions like why do we
believe what we believe? Why do we do this? If not by Christ
and the Apostles then where was this first suggested?
And above all we need to meditate on how are we different
than Christ and the Apostles.
Unless
we persevere we will not be able to overcome the ever evolving
doctrines and traditions of men in our day.
And God will not open our eyes on these matters and we
will begin to discern between the holy and the profane, the
righteous and unrighteous.
The
Antichrist and the Eucharist:
- The abolition of the Eucharist will be the first act of the
Antichrist
- The Eucharist is the "restrainer" which withholds
the coming of the Antichrist
"The Abomination of Desolation"
Matthew 24:15-24 When
ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken
of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth,
let him understand:) Then let them which be in Judaea flee into
the mountains: Let him which is on the housetop not come down
to take any thing out of his house: Neither let him which is
in the field return back to take his clothes. And woe unto them
that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!
But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on
the sabbath day: For then shall be great tribulation, such as
was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor
ever shall be. And except those days should be shortened, there
should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days
shall be shortened. Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo,
here is Christ, or there; believe it not. For there shall arise
false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs
and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall
deceive the very elect.
This is the time
of the Coming of the Antichrist... and his very first work will
be the abolition of the Eucharist!
"When
you see the Abomination of Desolation, of which Daniel spoke,
standing in the holy place (let the reader understand)..."
(Matt.24:15).
This
Abomination refers to the abolition of the Eternal Sacrifice
and the destruction of the Temple and Jerusalem...
but Daniel states that "the vision refers to the time of
the End" (8:17), and Jesus himself refers us to it in Matt.24:15,
and it will be the very first thing the Antichrist will
do, the abolition of the Eucharist!, as reported here
by Jesus.
We see
the abomination of desolation in the taking of Jerusalem in
70 AD and we can say that when the sacrifice of the Jews was
ended there –it was ceased with permanence for 1935 years there
has been no Jewish sacrifice in the temple at Jerusalem. But
we have now been made aware that sometime around 200 AD the
backslidden Leaders of the Christians brought in mock –Levites
they brought in a mock – Altar and began offering a mock sacrifice
and shortly thereafter set in a mock – order or high priests
(I remind you it appears that all this was in place long before
330 AD and the Birth of the Roman Catholic Church.
This
sacrifice of the Mass, these Levites, this Altar, and these
High Priests (Anti –Christs) have from the onset been an abomination
to God the Father and Jesus Christ
In Daniel
I do not think the Spirit of God was saying the “abomination
of desolation “ I think that the spirit of God was saying the
“desolation of the abomination.”
Look
again at Titus destroying Jerusalem and the Temple in 70 AD
– After Christ Had died on the Cross there was no need of Sacrifices
– Christ is our burnt offering our peace offering our
drink offering our peace offering etc. The Offerings
of the Jews who rejected Christ became a mockery – and abomination
and God came with Titus caused it to cease and made the place
desolate – to this day.
When
The anti Christ shall come he shall lay waste to the city on
seven hills Rome and the temple contained therein – the Vatican.
For the abominations of this false continual sacrifice that
have been preformed there in continually for the last 1800 years.
All
my life I was taught that the Jews were going to be restored
and rebuild the temple and set in Levites and offer sacrifices
and then and only then will the anti Christ
appear and all eyes have been on Jerusalem since 1948.
But the Spirit of the Lord has clearly shown me that
the Jews will not rebuild the temple and that the Temple and
desolation of abomination is in Rome and the Vatican.
I will
tell you I forsee a great siege on the entire city of Rome as
the people come out to defend the “Eternal City” and the Vatican
from the Muslim hoards that have come to steal pillage and stamp
in pieces the residue – this is the Goal of Mohamedism to exault
itself above all that is called God. This is not the Ek-klesia
the is the klesia or those that do not know me buy none the
less are called by my name or my names sake.
This
"Abomination" in Daniel consists of 5 facts:
1- "Abolished the perpetual sacrifice"
(Dan.8:11): And as a logical consequence, if there is no "sacrifice",
there will be no "altar", and
no "priests" to offer it... this
is the main and most important feature, described by Daniel
in his four descriptions of the Abomination in the Holy Place.
2- "Threw down his sanctuary" (Dan.8:11). That
would be Vatican city
3- "Shall destroy the city" (Dan.9:26). That
would be Rome
4- "He magnified himself even to the prince of the host"
(Dan.8:11).
5- By his deceit he shall make some who were disloyal to the
covenant apostatize (an.11:26).
The reign of the Antichrist will last for 7 years, as described
in Daniel 8:14 and Revelation 13:5: The "Abomination"
will last for 3½ years, and the "Great
Tribulation" for another 3½ years, or 42 months,
or 1,260 days (Rev.13:5, 11:2-3, 12:5, Dan.12:11-12).
John tells
us that the Antichrist is already with us
(1Jn.4:3), and Paul says that the Antichrist is already
at work (1Thes.2:6-8).
Within the last month I have become
convinced that Paul knew that the Church was failing while he
was yet alive.
The Jews already have this Abomination: They have
no sacrifice, no altar, no priests, no temple... as it was prophesied
it will happen after the coming of the Messiah! (Daniel
8:11-17, 9:26-27, 11:31-32, 12:11).
For many
Protestants this "Abomination" means very
little, because they already do not have the "perpetual
sacrifice", nor "sanctuary", nor "altar",
nor "priests"...
The Orthodox already do not have the "prince of
hosts", nor "the city".
Many Catholics may wonder how come the Holy Mass and priests
could be abolished... but this already happened partially at
the coming of Muhammad when there were 800
Christian bishops in Africa, among them St. Augustine, and in
a few years there were reduced to just 5!... the "remnant"
always mentions by Isaiah. And when Martin Luther
came, in a few years millions of Christians were left without
sacrifice, altar, and priests... So, this is what it will happened
at the coming of the Antichrist during the Abomination of Desolation,
the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass will be abolished, and consequently
there will be no need for altars nor priests to celebrate it...
and, of course, a "remnant" will be left!.
When
God brought this article to me it was such a strong confirmation
to what he had spoken and already showed me in scripture I was
almost beside myself for three days the words of this article
boiled in my spirit. The person who is writing is speaking of
things that they know not – they were moved to speak several
of these things – particularly citing Mohammed –
The
Thing about Martin Luther being the anti Christ is not true
– that is catholic blind hatred of the man – What Luther Calvin
Simons and Zwingli did was to create the great whore’s daughters
but in revelation we see that they all share of the same cup
of abominations and the blood of those who were killed in the
name of the Lord – So from the Divine standpoint the bastardized
catholic lite religion that has been replicated in 10,000 protestant
denominations with its priests, altars, sacrifices, and sacred
rites (Even in Fundamentalist, Pentecostal and Charismatic churches
– are still an abomination unto him and HE shall send one in
to make war with all this and lay it waste.
The
Irony or Ironies is that all of this is anti-Christ and always
has been – so when the master –anti-Christ comes forth
he shall be drawn like a magnet to all that is anti-Christ
that is the earthly physical church that men have built for
the last 1800-1900 years.
The
"restrainer": "the one who holds back the Antichrist":
St. Paul tells us twice what withholds the Antichrist to appear,
in 2Thess.2:6,7... and that "restrainer", "the
one who holds back the Antichrist", is Jesus in the Eucharist!...
when the Sacrifice of the Holy Eucharist is abolished,
the Anti-Christ will appear with full force!... right
now, says Paul, the Antichrist, the mystery of iniquity is already
at work, but restrained by the Eucharist, and his work will
start in full when the Abomination of Desolation comes, when
the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and the Altar and Priests will
be taken away.
The
Eucharist is not holding back anything. It is empty and nothing
– as is the Protestant version of it.
– That which restrains is not an inanimate stamped piece
of bread dough.
It might
well be Zerubabel and the two olive trees. In revelation it
says the two prophets are the two olive trees and they are killed
and them taken away.
This is how Paul say it in 2Thes.2:6-8:
6: And now you know what is holding him back
(the man of lawlessness), so that he may be revealed at the proper time.
7: For the secret power of lawlessness is already at work; but
the one who now holds it back, the restrainer,
will continue
to do so till he is taken out of the way.
8: And then shall that Wicked be revealed...
