PASTOR GENERAL'S REPORT, DECEMBER
2 ,
1986
Rome's position on doctrinal deviancy
by
declaring that the faithful "are
to
givg
the religious submission
of
intellect
--
and will to the teaching
which the Supreme PontiFf or the CoTleqe
of
Bishops enunciate on faith or
morals..
We
might be seeing the development of the rationale for a
united Europe's eventual military action against a wayward America. Of
Courser many faithful immigrant Hispanic-Americans, far more loyal to the
Pope,
may
be spared. When the Pope visits Los Angeles next fall, one of
his two themes will deal with
3)
There will
be
pressure, and ultimately persecution, on those
religious bodies not falling into line and supporting the Vatican's
worldwide peace drive. To quote
Mr.
Herbert Armstrong's article in the
January 1984 "Plain Truth" entitled W hat Lies Ahead' Now": "When our
great commission is in God's sight completed...we shall be taken to a
place of protection from the Great Tribulation, which is the furious
wrath of Satan....
While
we
are in this place of safety
3-1/2
years...Satan in his mad wrath will then make war with the REMNANT
Church. This has to be the Laodicean era
of
the Church...".
Individuals not enjoying
God's
protection will be confronted with one of
the most agonizing decisions
of
all time--obey God and confront economic
deprivation and religious persecution,
or
compromise with the satanic
system and "drink of the wine of the wrath of God' (Revelation 14:9-10).
