meaning Head Father. But when these two Catholic Churches unite,
he may have to drop that title, for only the Pope of Rome will be
the "Head Father." Perhaps he will become a Cardinal.
The Word of God says we must not, as a religious title,
call any man "Father." Read it in Matthew 23:9. Jesus Christ
said: "And call no man your Father upon the earth: for one is your
Father, which is in heaven." Also the Bible says plainly that no
human MAN is HEAD of the Church of GOD. But the living JESUS
CHRIST is the only HEAD of the true Church (Eph. 5:23-24; Eph.
1:22; 4:15; Col. 1:18).
Everywhere today there are efforts to UNITE! The nations
of Europe are trying desperately to unite as one political-military
government. The Common Market is the preliminary to it. But the
civil leaders will finally have to ask the Pope to step in and
unite them, and become their Head, as well as the Head of the
Catholic Church. The Protestants are making moves toward union
with the Catholic Church.
Once the political union is achieved among the nations of
Europe -- and there will be TEN -- then the "Great Tribulation"
will strike. This is the time of trouble Jesus said would end in
the extinction of human life -- except by supernatural
intervention, GOD sends the living glorified Christ in almighty
POWER to prevent it (Mat. 24:21-22).
The only sign Jesus gave by which we should KNOW when this
is to occur is stated in Mat. 24:14: "And this Gospel of the
Kingdom shall be preached (and published -- Mark 13:10) in all the
world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come."
That Gospel is now being preached in all the world for the
first time in 18 1/2 centuries! That is the mission to which the
living CHRIST has called, and is USING YOU and me as His
instruments in accomplishing! Truly, as God foretold through the
Apostle Paul, when the clergy, coming in the name of Christ --
professing to be the ministers of "Christianity," "preacheth
another Jesus, whom we have not preached (one whom they claim did
away with the Father's Law turning "grace" into license -- Jude 4
--), or ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, OR
ANOTHER GOSPEL ..." (II Cor. 11:4), then "such are false apostles,
deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of
Christ. And no marvel; for SATAN HIMSELF is transformed into an
angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if HIS MINISTERS
(SATAN'S) also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness
..." -- when actually they are the ministers of INIQUITY --
LAWLESSNESS -- deceiving the whole world!
These ministers -- hundreds of thousands of them -- the
popular MANY -- have NOT preached the same Gospel Jesus brought
from God!
They ridicule us -- YOU and me -- thinking thereby to
continue their deception and turn people against the TRUE ORIGINAL
GOSPEL which Jesus taught and which WE PREACH TO THE WHOLE WORLD --
you and I. They ridicule when I say the Gospel Jesus taught has
