Hi, and you’re now with the Forerunner Chronicles. Alright everybody. So, as the majority of you out there already know,
recently there’s been a dramatic increase in violent activity everywhere. And I’m not just talking about these acts of
violence in which individuals are jumping out of their vehicles in a road rage and they end up committing a homicide by shooting
someone’s parent in their face, or these other individuals that just go and grab knives and go and stab all their family
members—they stab their coworkers, neighbors, classmates, roommates, friends—they just stab any random individual for
that matter, just because that random person just so happened to be within arm’s length of themselves. And by no means—
I’m not trying to make light of any of these violent scenarios, because there’s nothing to be made light of them.
Frankly speaking, they’re nauseating. But what I would really like us to focus in on at this time are those acts of violence
which are currently being defined by the civil powers of our world as acts of terrorism. Because the most recent acts of
terrorism that are gaining the greatest bit of notoriety around the world are those which have been credited to being the activities
carried out by a universally-notorious organization as of late known as ISIS. And I know you know who ISIS is because that
name ISIS has been on the headlines of every major news outlet in existence. For instance, not too long ago, ISIS made
the headlines because they completely showered a freedom of speech convention in Copenhagen with several rounds of
ammunition from a fully automatic weapon, and then even more recently than that, ISIS once again gained the attention of the
global media as a result of them taking over twenty Egyptian Coptic Christian men, lining them up on a beach and then
beheading them in cold-blooded fashion. We’re talking about some seriously blood-curdling stuff here. But what I find even
more intriguing than that—and yes I do find something more intriguing than that—what I find even more intriguing than that
is that as the smoke was settling over the cinematic-like bloodshed that has forever stained France in connection with
the Charlie Hebdo incident, Pope Francis was on board a plane headed for the Philippines, and he was accompanied by the
press, and he was discussing with them where he believed the line must be drawn in the sand when it comes to the defense of
religious freedom and the exercise of the freedom of speech. And Pope Francis made some statements—in a very
uncharacteristically animated fashion I might add—that were so mind-boggling that everyone that heard those words passing
out of his mouth should have shrieked in horror, but instead, of course, his statements elicited chuckles because everyone
thinks that Pope Francis is a cuddly teddy bear. Ladies and gentlemen, I’m not going to tell you what he said. I’m going to
allow you to see and hear it for your own selves. And as you listen and as you watch, you will realize that something very
insidious is on the horizon. Take a look.
I believe you cannot react violently, but if my good friend Dr. Gasparri says a curse word against my mother, he can expect a
punch. It’s normal. You cannot provoke. You cannot insult the faith of others. You cannot make fun of the faith of others.
And there you have it, just like that. With a lightning-fast light jab, the man whom the majority of this generation have
classified as the world’s leader of morality, Pope Francis, has displayed right before the media how he would readily
PHYSICALLY respond to an individual if they ill-advisedly spoke about his mama. Really! What an absurd practice to advocate
as acceptable by the man that’s supposed to be, according to the Roman Catholic Church, the Vicar of Christ. And for those
of you that are not familiar with that title, Vicar of Christ is Latin for the representative of Christ on Earth. It’s a title that’s given
to the pope. But how could such a violent reaction to someone verbally assaulting one of your kin be a right representation of
the character of Jesus Christ? Doesn’t Jesus say in the book of Matthew, chapter 5 and verse 39, “but I say unto you, that ye
resist not evil, but whosoever smiteth thee on the right cheek, turn to him the other also”? Doesn’t Jesus say that there right in
Matthew chapter 5 and verse 39? I know it’s in my Bible. What about in the book of Romans chapter 12 and verse 21? Does
not the Word of God tell us there “be not overcome of evil but overcome evil with good”? Doesn’t the Bible teach that?
Clearly, ladies and gentlemen, the Bible teaches these high exalted divine principles, and therefore what we’ve just seen
and what we’ve just heard, clearly once again establishes that in the year 2015, just like in the Dark Ages between 538 AD and
1798 AD, the papacy is continuing a long tradition that they’ve adopted throughout the ages of exalting the prerogatives of
finite men above the prerogatives of God Himself. But what I find extremely disturbing about this whole fiasco of the pope on
a plane throwing shadow punches to illustrate to the media how he would swiftly respond with VIOLENCE towards an individual
that cursed at his mother is that Pope Francis was not utilizing that illustration for some obscure purpose. He was using that
illustration with a very definite purpose in mind. He used this illustration of how he would physically react towards someone
telling a mama-joke to depict to the world not only what he believes should be the expected response, but what he believes
is the acceptable response as to how one should react towards another individual or group that purposely disrespects the
religious faith of another. That’s serious! Ladies and gentlemen, just think about this for a second. Let’s just say—for the sake of
conversation, all right—let’s just say that I, was to call the Roman Catholic Church—which by the way is identified by the
papacy as the Mother Church—so what if I was to call the Mother Church, the Roman Catholic Church, “the whore” of
Revelation chapter 17? Or to use even more explicit language, “MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF
HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH” as it is said to be in Revelation 17 and verse 5. Would that be sufficient to
solicit a violent response from the papacy? Evidently yes. Because over 50 million Christians were tortured and sent to
bloody graves BY the papacy between 538 AD through 1798 AD because they protested against the papacy as the
prophetic whore of Revelation chapter 17. But wait a second. Let’s just say for the sake of conversation once again—so
hypothetically speaking, let’s just say that I, was to call the pope which by the way is identified by the papacy as the Holy Father,
or in the Italian language he’s identified as “Papa,” so what if I was to call Papa, the pope, the “man of sin,” the “son of
perdition,” the “anti-Christ.” Would that be sufficient to solicit a violent response from the papacy? Evidently yes, because over
50 million Christians—and I’m giving the conservative estimate—50 million Christians were maimed and murdered by
the papacy between 538 through 1798 as a result of protesting against the Roman Catholic Church and its pope as the
dominant antichrist of Bible prophecy. But I have even a better one. Listen to this one. What if an organization known as ISIS
was to behead over two dozen Christian men, and then one stood up from the midst of their ranks and took his
blood-stained knife and pointed it towards the sea, and then said—and I quote—“we will conquer Rome!” Would those types
of words, would that type of rhetoric be sufficient to anger the papacy to such an extent that they would be led to mobilize an
invisible campaign behind the scenes to influence all of the major political powers in our world, especially those that are
located in the West, and seek to compel these civil powers not only to use their military might to take a punch at ISIS, but to
take a strike at any organization—and any individual for that matter—that would openly denounce the authority of the
papacy. Do you think that that may be possible? Well ladies and gentlemen, only time will tell. And trust me, with the pope’s
schedule to come to the shores of the United States of America this September in the year 2015 at which point he is scheduled
to address the joint houses of the United States Congress—a feat which no other pope in the history of the papacy can add to
his résumé—I assure you, I assure you, we are not going to have to wait too long to find out. Ladies and gentlemen, what
we are looking at are the final unfoldings of Bible prophecy. The serpent has shown us his fangs and he is getting ready to strike
with all of his venomous power. The Bible tells us in Revelation chapter 13 beginning at verse 11 that the United States of
America, under the prophetic symbol of a beast having two horns like a lamb but then ultimately speaks as a dragon, will
utilize its civil power to lead the nations of our world to confer reverential homage upon the papacy. We are told in Revelation
13 and verse 12 “and he” meaning the United States of America “will exercise all the power of the first beast before him” being a
symbol of the papacy “and causeth all the world and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast” the papacy
“whose deadly wound was healed.” Then, in Revelation 13 and verse 15 the Bible goes on to say “and he had power to give life
unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and he causeth as many should not worship the
image of the beast should be killed, and he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark
in their right hand, or in their forehead: and that no man might buy nor sell, save he that had the mark of the beast, or the
name of the beast, or the number of his name.” This issue of the mark of the beast is getting ready to become a tangible
reality that ALL of us are going to have to deal with. Therefore in loving kindness, and in mercy, God has forewarned us in the
book of Revelation chapter 14 and verse 9, “and the third angel followed saying with a loud voice, if any man worship the beast
and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead or in his hand, the same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God,
which is poured out without mixture into His cup of indignation.” It is not God’s design—it is not God’s desire that any man
should perish in his sins. That’s why the Bible clearly tells us in John 3:16 “for God so loved the world, that He gave His only
begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” When the Bible tells us that
God gave His Son, it does not simply mean that God gave His son to die on the cross for our sins, but Jesus Christ FOREVER
will identify Himself with humanity. This is why Jesus Himself said that He, HE, is not ashamed to call Himself our brother!
Ladies and gentlemen, if we could only understand the matchless love that God has for us, then we would give up all
the foolishness of this world that we’re allowing to allure ourselves away from having a loving POWERFUL relationship
with Jesus Christ. A relationship that will give you victory over lying, victory over stealing, victory over pornography, victory
over anger, victory over unkindness, victory over every hereditary and cultivated sin that will keep you out of the
Kingdom of God. Why are you keeping yourself away from Jesus? Don’t listen to the devil! Jesus said, any man that comes
to Him, He will in no wise cast him out. Won’t you come to Jesus today? My friends, it’s time to wake up. We are living at
the end of all things, and God is saying, Wake up! Christian that is lazy and doing nothing. Wake up! my friend that is in the
world. You say there’s no God. There is a God! That’s why you can see. There is a God! That’s why your heart pumps. There is
a God! That’s why you’re still alive. God is giving you an opportunity to turn from your wicked ways and to receive
salvation today! My friends, NOW is the acceptable day. NOW is the time of your salvation! Won’t you choose Jesus today?
Because God would not want to spend eternity without you. And He proved it by DYING for you. So please, choose wisely.
As always, this is the Forerunner, and whether you like it or not, the truth is the truth.
