The Justice of God: Οικουμένα Oikoumena, Satan puts forth his world view and the sixth False Prophet since the 1958 conclave of the beginning of the Great Apostasy's push to consume mankind in the Ecumenical LIE

The Justice of God: Οικουμένα Oikoumena, Satan puts forth his world view and the sixth False Prophet since the 1958 conclave of the beginning of the Great Apostasy's push to consume mankind in the Ecumenical LIE


The whole world view of the Assisi interpagan/apostate/infidel gatherings and Nostrae Aetate upon which that was built and the rest of Ecumenism are summed up in the "immensus" [Latin], immense but limited, world view which is absolutely different from the existence and aseity of God (self existence of the unlimited and all powerful true God) and the viewpoint of God Himself and His ruling His creation which viewpoint of God, like God Himself, is "infinitas" [Latin], infinite, unbounded, Greek apeiros, endless - unbounded by space and time.


Have you heard of the Ecumenical Movement, almost everyone has for decades now. It has invaded every aspect of everyday life and all organized religion and politics. Among other things it is the so called Global Village. It is the"various faith traditions" and other nonsense of the all religions are a path to God, Assisi inter-apostate view, etc. ad nauseam.

Οικουμένα, English spelling: Oikoumena. From Oikoumene, the Greek is the root meaning "whole world," and is the word from which "Ecumenical," in the Ecumenical Movement is taken.

Οικουμένα - in English means exactly all of space and time [but no further - Kantian Antinomy claiming that all of existence and ALL THAT CAN BE KNOWN INCLUDING THE IMMENSE, BUT FINITE false god OF THE PANTHEISTS SUBSUMED AND GIVEN BIRTH BY, WHILE GIVING BIRTH TO, THE FINITE UNIVERSE - the Cosmic egg - see below at bottom.] – a total pantheistic/polytheistic concept with no place for God who rules all of His creation but from outside of it since He created all of it. At the same time the true God is transcendant throughout all of His creation but is not bound by it - He rules absolutely. Oikoumena, English spelling, is absolutely different as it means only the visible universe with a noumenal (unseen side - the 'dark side') aspect that is limited and concurrent with the visible - actually Satan as the prince of this world [John 14:30 "For the prince of this world cometh, and in me he hath not any thing."]. Oikoumena is from Oikoumene which in Greek is the root meaning whole world (world is the created world, and in Graeco-Roman thought as expressed in Old Latin it is the same, the word is Universus – “Uni” meaning One and “versus” meaning turn or "One turn" meaning a single turn of the heavens representing that the created order is ALL there is. It is evolutionary, it is pantheistic/polytheistic, it is materialistic, it is pagan, it is atheist, it is diabolic – But it has no place for God and denies Him completely. And IT IS THE UNDERLYING CONCEPT OF ALL THE ECUMENICAL MOVEMENT.)

Satan showing all of the kingdoms of this world in one moment to Christ to tempt Him is again showing Satan, the Devil, as prince of this world and his limited understanding of creation (of which he is only a creature), which Satanic understanding is Oikoumena. Οικουμένα is the original Greek.

Οικουμένα in Greek Isopsephia is exactly 666

Oikoumena or Universus is seen below, the Vatican claiming to rule all they can see in the spirit of the prince of the power of darkness. Ephesians 6:11 "...principalities and power, against the rulers of the world of this darkness, against the spirits of wickedness in the high places." High places means earthly places of pagan religious ritual, like the below since the 1958 conclave and Vatican II.

Vatican "Square," actually round, which is the round goddess symbol with Osirus' phallic symbol in center

the Vatican spiral staircase, another symbol of the earth mother goddess who gives birth to the gods and goddesses - the first goddess from which the earth mother goddess was taken was the Mesopotamian goddess, Nammu, the primordial goddess of the sea [meaning unbridled finite chaos] from which comes all other gods and goddesses; she is later known as Tiamat, the Dragon goddess.

"Nammu, the primordial goddess of the sea [meaning unbridled finite chaos]..." from whence comes the ridiculous idea of evolution (including theist evolution), evolving something sensible and ordered out of nonsense.

The only truth of how creation came about is that the all powerful True God created by His almighty will by His Word Jesus Christ, everything that has been created. See: Gospel of John 1:1-18


We are warned of the False Prophet:
...like a lamb...

The Apocalypse, the Book of the Revelation: 13.: The Beast of the Earth

11 ¶ And I saw another beast coming up out of the earth: and he had two horns, like a lamb:


The two horns warn primarily of Religious and Secular power combined. Even more it is consummated in the two Beasts both contained in the advent of the Beast from the Earth. The Beast from the Sea is the final Antichrist ruling from Jerusalem, but he is first announced by the the Beast from the Earth.


The Beast from the Earth.

Pope: Homily for inaugural Mass of Petrine Ministry [full text]


(Vatican Radio) Homily of the Holy Father at the Inauguration of his Papal Ministry 19 March 2013:

Dear Brothers and Sisters, I thank the Lord that I can celebrate this Holy Mass for the inauguration of my Petrine ministry on the solemnity of Saint Joseph, the spouse of the Virgin Mary and the patron of the universal Church. It is a significant coincidence, and it is also the name-day of my venerable predecessor: we are close to him with our prayers, full of affection and gratitude.

I offer a warm greeting to my brother cardinals and bishops, the priests, deacons, men and women religious, and all the lay faithful. I thank the representatives of the other Churches and ecclesial Communities, as well as the representatives of the Jewish community and the other religious communities, for their presence. My cordial greetings go to the Heads of State and Government, the members of the official Delegations from many countries throughout the world, and the Diplomatic Corps.

In the Gospel we heard that “Joseph did as the angel of the Lord commanded him and took Mary as his wife” (Mt 1:24). These words already point to the mission which God entrusts to Joseph: he is to be the custos, the protector. The protector of whom? Of Mary and Jesus; but this protection is then extended to the Church, as Blessed John Paul II pointed out: “Just as Saint Joseph took loving care of Mary and gladly dedicated himself to Jesus Christ’s upbringing, he likewise watches over and protects Christ’s Mystical Body, the Church, of which the Virgin Mary is the exemplar and model” (Redemptoris Custos, 1).

How does Joseph exercise his role as protector? Discreetly, humbly and silently, but with an unfailing presence and utter fidelity, even when he finds it hard to understand. From the time of his betrothal to Mary until the finding of the twelve-year-old Jesus in the Temple of Jerusalem, he is there at every moment with loving care. As the spouse of Mary, he is at her side in good times and bad, on the journey to Bethlehem for the census and in the anxious and joyful hours when she gave birth; amid the drama of the flight into Egypt and during the frantic search for their child in the Temple; and later in the day-to-day life of the home of Nazareth, in the workshop where he taught his trade to Jesus.

How does Joseph respond to his calling to be the protector of Mary, Jesus and the Church? By being constantly attentive to God, open to the signs of God’s presence and receptive to God’s plans, and not simply to his own. This is what God asked of David, as we heard in the first reading. God does not want a house built by men, but faithfulness to his word, to his plan. It is God himself who builds the house, but from living stones sealed by his Spirit. Joseph is a “protector” because he is able to hear God’s voice and be guided by his will; and for this reason he is all the more sensitive to the persons entrusted to his safekeeping. He can look at things realistically, he is in touch with his surroundings, he can make truly wise decisions. In him, dear friends, we learn how to respond to God’s call, readily and willingly, but we also see the core of the Christian vocation, which is Christ! Let us protect Christ in our lives, so that we can protect others, so that we can protect creation!

The vocation of being a “protector”, however, is not just something involving us Christians alone; it also has a prior dimension which is simply human, involving everyone. It means protecting all creation, the beauty of the created world, as the Book of Genesis tells us and as Saint Francis of Assisi showed us. It means respecting each of God’s creatures and respecting the environment in which we live. It means protecting people, showing loving concern for each and every person, especially children, the elderly, those in need, who are often the last we think about. It means caring for one another in our families: husbands and wives first protect one another, and then, as parents, they care for their children, and children themselves, in time, protect their parents. It means building sincere friendships in which we protect one another in trust, respect, and goodness. In the end, everything has been entrusted to our protection, and all of us are responsible for it. Be protectors of God’s gifts!

Whenever human beings fail to live up to this responsibility, whenever we fail to care for creation and for our brothers and sisters, the way is opened to destruction and hearts are hardened. Tragically, in every period of history there are “Herods” who plot death, wreak havoc, and mar the countenance of men and women.

Please, I would like to ask all those who have positions of responsibility in economic, political and social life, and all men and women of goodwill: let us be “protectors” of creation, protectors of God’s plan inscribed in nature, protectors of one another and of the environment. Let us not allow omens of destruction and death to accompany the advance of this world! But to be “protectors”, we also have to keep watch over ourselves! Let us not forget that hatred, envy and pride defile our lives! Being protectors, then, also means keeping watch over our emotions, over our hearts, because they are the seat of good and evil intentions: intentions that build up and tear down! We must not be afraid of goodness or even tenderness!

Here I would add one more thing: caring, protecting, demands goodness, it calls for a certain tenderness. In the Gospels, Saint Joseph appears as a strong and courageous man, a working man, yet in his heart we see great tenderness, which is not the virtue of the weak but rather a sign of strength of spirit and a capacity for concern, for compassion, for genuine openness to others, for love. We must not be afraid of goodness, of tenderness!

Today, together with the feast of Saint Joseph, we are celebrating the beginning of the ministry of the new Bishop of Rome, the Successor of Peter, which also involves a certain power. Certainly, Jesus Christ conferred power upon Peter, but what sort of power was it? Jesus’ three questions to Peter about love are followed by three commands: feed my lambs, feed my sheep. Let us never forget that authentic power is service, and that the Pope too, when exercising power, must enter ever more fully into that service which has its radiant culmination on the Cross. He must be inspired by the lowly, concrete and faithful service which marked Saint Joseph and, like him, he must open his arms to protect all of God’s people and embrace with tender affection the whole of humanity, especially the poorest, the weakest, the least important, those whom Matthew lists in the final judgment on love: the hungry, the thirsty, the stranger, the naked, the sick and those in prison (cf. Mt 25:31-46). Only those who serve with love are able to protect!

In the second reading, Saint Paul speaks of Abraham, who, “hoping against hope, believed” (Rom 4:18). Hoping against hope! Today too, amid so much darkness, we need to see the light of hope and to be men and women who bring hope to others. To protect creation, to protect every man and every woman, to look upon them with tenderness and love, is to open up a horizon of hope; it is to let a shaft of light break through the heavy clouds; it is to bring the warmth of hope! For believers, for us Christians, like Abraham, like Saint Joseph, the hope that we bring is set against the horizon of God, which has opened up before us in Christ. It is a hope built on the rock which is God.

To protect Jesus with Mary, to protect the whole of creation, to protect each person, especially the poorest, to protect ourselves: this is a service that the Bishop of Rome is called to carry out, yet one to which all of us are called, so that the star of hope will shine brightly. Let us protect with love all that God has given us!

I implore the intercession of the Virgin Mary, Saint Joseph, Saints Peter and Paul, and Saint Francis, that the Holy Spirit may accompany my ministry, and I ask all of you to pray for me! Amen.

The Justice of God: The Antichrist and the False Prophet

Below are the Two Horns of the Son of Perdition - the Antichrist is the Son of Perdition and rides the Beast of the Earth, which is the Harlot of False Prophecy (Rome - the Vatican) and is itself (the Beast of the Earth) - The False Prophet. The False Prophet is one of the horns - with the Antichrist being the other horn - of the Beast of the Earth, as this progresses toward infesting itself in a rebuilt temple in Jerusalem in defiance of God's decree against this temple.

The Beast of the Sea is the principal political power comprised of the Illuminati (both Judaist and Gentile) and gives birth to the Antichrist. Together they rule the earth for a short time, until Jesus Christ returns and destroys them all with the Brightness of His Coming and a Flaming Fire of Righteous Judgment.

The Beast of the Sea

Rv:13:
1 ¶ (12-18) And he stood upon the sand of the sea. (13-1) And I saw a beast [1] coming up out the sea, having seven heads and ten horns: and upon his horns, ten diadems: and upon his heads, names of blasphemy. … Scripture reference – Rev.: 11:7!; Dan.: 7:3; Rev.: 12:3; 17:3
2 And the beast which I saw was like to a leopard: and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion. And the dragon gave him his own strength and great power. … Scripture reference –
3 And I saw one of his heads as it were slain to death: and his death’s wound was healed. And all the earth was in admiration after the beast. … Scripture reference – Rev.: 13:12; 17:8
4 And they adored the dragon which gave power to the beast. And they adored the beast, saying: Who is like to the beast? And who shall be able to fight with him? … Scripture reference – Rev.: 13:12; 17:8
5 And there was given to him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies: and power was given to him to do, two and forty months.
6 And he opened his mouth unto blasphemies against God, to blaspheme his name and his tabernacle and them that dwell in heaven.
7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints and to overcome them. And power was given him over every tribe and people and tongue and nation. … Scripture reference – Rev.: 11:7!; 12:17
8 And all that dwell upon the earth adored him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb which was slain from the beginning of the world. … Scripture reference – Rev.: 17:8; 20:15!; 21:27; Ps.: 68:29!; Rev.: 14:12
9 If any man have an ear, let him hear. … Scripture reference – Rev.: 2:7!
10 He that shall lead into captivity shall go into captivity: he that shall kill by the sword must be killed by the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints. [2] … Scripture reference – Jer.: 43:11; Mt.: 26:52; Rev.: 14:12

The Beast of the Earth

11 ¶ And I saw another beast coming up out of the earth: and he had two horns, like a lamb: and he spoke as a dragon.
12 And he executed all the power of the former beast in his sight. And he caused the earth and them that dwell therein to adore the first beast, whose wound to death was healed. … Scripture reference – Rev.: 13: 3,4
13 And he did great signs, so that he made also fire to come down from heaven unto the earth, in the sight of men.
14 And he seduced them that dwell on the earth, for the signs which were given him to do in the sight of the beast: saying to them that dwell on the earth that they should make the image of the beast which had the wound by the sword and lived.
15 And it was given him to give life to the image of the beast: and that the image of the beast should speak: and should cause that whosoever will not adore the image of the beast should be slain.
16 And he shall make all, both little and great, rich and poor, freemen and bondmen, to have a character [3] in their right hand or on their foreheads: … Scripture reference – Rev.: 14:9; 20:4
17 And that no man might buy or sell, but he that hath the character, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. … Scripture reference – Rev.: 14:11!
18 Here is wisdom. He that hath understanding, let him count the number of the beast. For it is the number of a man: and the number of him is six hundred sixty-six. [4] … Scripture reference – Rev.: 17:9
(DRV)

[1] -Ver. 1. The picture of the first beast is based on the seventh chapter of Daniel. This beast is the figure of the kingdoms of the world, kingdoms founded on passion and
selfishness, which in every age are antagonistic to Christ and seek to oppress the ,servants of God. Imperial Rome represents this power.
[2] -Ver. 10. The weapons of the saints are faith and patience; they must accept sufferings and persecution as Christ did His cross.
[3] -Ver. 16. Character (mark): as slaves received a brand or a mark in their flesh, indicating to whom they belonged, so in the spiritual conflict there is on the side of good and of evil a
brand or mark. St. Paul spoke of such marks in his own body that proved him a slave of Jesus Christ [Gal. 6, 17]. So the false prophet seeks to, impress a mark on all. What this mark is will be manifested in its time.
[4] -Ver. 18. Six hundred and sixty-six: the original type of the number is that it represents the name Caesar Neron, which in Hebrew characters make up the number 666. (Hebrew words read right to left) — Hebrew letters for Kaiser (Caesar) Neron (Nero) = nrwn ksr = (Hebrew in parentheses) 100 (Kop)+ 60 (Samek)+ 200 (Res)+ 50 (Nun)+ 200 (Res)+ 6 (Waw)+ 50 (Nun) = 666. {Additional source for nrwn ksr and each numeric equivalent: The Anchor Bible Dictionary volume IV – page 1145.} The final Gematria/Isosephia alpha-numeric name is known to God. It symbolizes extreme imperfection, for each digit is one short of seven, the number that signifies perfection; it tells us, as the Church Fathers and Doctors all agree, prophetically, of the name the Antichrist will bear. The Fathers concur emphatically that the number is 666 and not 616 as some corrupt manuscripts mistakenly read.


Syncretist Papism as a replacement for Catholicism and Rabbinic Talmudic Judaism as a replacement for Mosaic Torah Israelite religion are both shown forth by the two Beasts.Judaism by the Beast from the Sea (the First Beast) and Papism by the Beast from the Earth (the Second Beast). The final fulfillment will be: the False Prophet which is the Beast from the Earth, and the Antichrist which is the Beast from the Sea. In a finer exegesis, the False Prophet in the rebuilt temple with the Antichrist and the two of them commanding the world to worship Satan by allegiance to the Antichrist will be the two horns on the Second Beast (the Beast from the Earth) during the three and one half year public period (forty two months) of horrid persecution of the saints who will not bow to theAntichrist. (Revelation 13:5 And there was given to him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies: and power was given to him to do, two and forty months.) Those who bow to the Antichrist and take his mark will be damned forever. In opposition to the two horns of perdition (the Antichrist and the False Prophet) whose only purpose will be to lead people who reject the saving grace of Christ to damnation, God will send the two witnesses (St. Enoch and St. Elijah who will return to earth alive - they have never died, but they will, see Revelation Chapter 11) to warn people not to have anything to do with the Antichrist and the False Prophet.

NOTE: That the Antichrist (from apostate Judaism which is the First Beast) and the False Prophet (from apostate Christianity which is the Second Beast) both ride to power in the passage of scripture above, Revelation 13th Chapter, and the exegesis of the Church Fathers below, on the Second Beast, specifically Papism in the false council Vatican II apostate sense. Vatican II's Nostrae Aetate is the prime document of Apostasy in this Judas Goat deceiving of people. As the scripture states explicitly: Revelation 13:15 And it was given him to give life to the image of the beast: and that the image of the beast should speak: and should cause that whosoever will not adore the image of the beast should be slain. It is the the Second Beastwith the two horns that commands people be killed for not taking the Mark of the Beast. Taking the Mark will irrevocably damn everyone who takes it. It is BOTH of the two horns, both the False Prophet and the Antichrist, who command the death sentence on those who will not take the Mark of the Beast. The false prophets of Vatican II are already headed for and will actively be part of killing the faithful to Our Only Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

St. Hippolytus, Treatise on Christ and Antichrist


49. By the beast, then, coming up out of the earth, he means the kingdom of Antichrist; and by the two horns he means him and the false prophet with him.109 And in speaking of "the horns being like a lamb," he means that he will make himself like the Son of God, and set himself forward as king. And the terms, "he spake like a dragon," mean that he is a deceiver, and not truthful. And the words, "he exercised all the power of the first beast before him, and caused the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed," signify that, after the manner of the law of Augustus, by whom the empire of Rome was established, he too will rule and govern, sanctioning everything by it, and taking greater glory to himself. For this is the fourth beast, whose head was wounded and healed again, in its being broken up or even dishonoured, and partitioned into four crowns; and he then (Antichrist) shall with knavish skill heal it, as it were, and restore it. For this is what is meant by the prophet when he says, "He will give life unto the image, and the image of the beast will speak." For he will act with vigour again, and prove strong by reason of the laws established by him; and he will cause all those who will not worship the image of the beast to be put to death. Here the faith and the patience of the saints will appear, for he says: "And he will cause all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand or in their forehead; that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, the name of the beast, or the number of his name." For, being full of guile, and exalting himself against the servants of God, with the wish to afflict them and persecute them out of the world, because they give not glory to him, he will order incense-pans110 to be set up by all everywhere, that no man among the saints may be able to buy or sell without first sacrificing; for this is what is meant by the mark received upon the right hand. And the word-"in their forehead"-indicates that all are crowned, and put on a crown of fire, and not of life, but of death. For in this wise, too, did Antiochus Epiphanes the king of Syria, the descendant of Alexander of Macedon, devise measures against the Jews. He, too, in the exaltation of his heart, issued a decree in those times, that "all should set up shrines before their doors, and sacrifice, and that they should march in procession to the honour of Dionysus, waving chaplets of ivy; "and that those who refused obedience should be put to death by strangulation and torture. But he also met his due recompense at the hand of the Lord, the righteous Judge and all-searching God; for he died eaten up of worms. And if one desires to inquire into that more accurately, he will find it recorded in the books of the Maccabees.111
