Confession No. 15: A Look Back at Who Really Killed Pope John Paul I
The evil and devilish hands controlling the Vatican even kill their own when they try to come against the New World Order and Illuminati.

By Greg Szymanski

There is an outdoor caf¨¨ near St. Peter's Square nicknamed La Strada di Puttani(street of the whores) where common-folk drink espresso while men disguised in black robes perform the devil's dirty work inside the walls of the Vatican .

Coincidently, the street where the coffee shop sits acquired its rather unusual nickname years ago as it was common knowledge that brothels lined the streets, making it an easy walk for the Vatican priests who blatantly disregarded the vow of chastity just as they recklessly disregarded the vow of poverty, considering the Vatican owns 25 percent of the world's gold bullion and enormous land holdings world wide.

Although the "Street of the Whores" now has turned into a religious side show, as the brothels have been replaced by rows of shops where artifacts such as candles, blessed rosaries and holy water are sold for high prices to tourists who flock to take home a lasting remembrance of their trip to the Vatican .

This street and the cafôUhowever, have a lasting remembrance in my soul, not for buying a bottle of tap water supposedly turned holy, but for the first time hearing from a visiting Vatican priest (who will remain nameless) that Pope John Paul I was assassinated by the Vatican Masonic/devil worshipping hierarchy on Sept. 28, 1978, after his 33 day papacy was one of the shortest reigns in papal history.

"Who did it?" I remember asking the priest, as he quickly leaned over his espresso saying the "poison cup was given to him" by former Cardinal and Vatican Secretary of State, Jean-Marie Villot, born in Saint-Amant-Tallende , France in 1905 and died only six months after the assassination of Pope.

Besides getting that incredible inside information of the demise of John Paul I while working as a fledging young reporter in Rome from 1979-1986, the cafîdtill holds a lasting memory in my soul since it was also the first place I learned the truth about the Vatican real intentions, as well as its hierarchy being devilishly involved in satanic worshipping and child sacrificing, as rather bloody sacrifices reportedly for centuries had been going on inside what many Italians openly called "the belly of the black beast."

"It's the perfect cover," I remember one Italian telling me who also claimed "nothing is what it appears to be. They claim to be men of God, but they are Lucifer's men bringing destruction to Italy and the rest of the world."

The Italian went on to say the Jesuits and Franciscans were to be watched closely, adding that especially the Jesuits should be watched since they had been assigned the gruesome task of being the Vatican's deceitful and cunning henchmen and assassins worldwide.

Although this Confession with the Jesuits No. 15 will not concentrate on child sacrificing and devil worshipping or the Jesuits worldwide underhanded influence, it will focus on the Vatican assassins of John Paul I, who were none other than those filthy members of the Church's hierarchy actually working for Lucifer and who were also active members of Freemasonry.

It is the contention of this Confession writer and many other esteemed researchers that John Paul I was killed for the following reasons:

--He wanted to clean up the Vatican Bank which was later riddled in 1982 with scandals revealing the Vatican hierarchy's filthy connection with Freemasonry, the Mafia, the CIA and its real purpose of bringing financial destruction while advocating wars and genocide worldwide. Note: Italian and French reports connected and named over 150 high ranking bishops and cardinals who were active members of Freemasonry, including the P2 Masonic Lodge and many other secret and dark societies.

--He was against passionately against the policies of the New World Order and the Illuminati, as well as wanting to diminish the power of the Jesuit General, better known as the Black Pope, who is the real leader of the Vatican .

For this he was killed on the 33rd day of his papacy, the number 33 being an occult symbol that good will never defeat evil and the disguise and duplicity of the Vatican will never be uncovered.

Although much information during the early 1980's was uncovered and reported in Europe about John Paul's murderers, including Cardinal Villot's connection, very little information ever surfaced in the U.S. Furthermore, the Vatican 's control and evil tentacles to this day have kept any serious investigation under wraps and in the realm of only conspiracy theories.

In fact, Cardinal Villot's reputation and legacy has been tightly protected by the Vatican ever since he died, with reports surfacing firmly denying he had ever had any Masonic affiliations.

However, recently this Confession writer was contacted by the former body guard of the Most Reverend Marcel-FranºYs Lefebvre C.S.Sp. (November 29, 1905-March 25, 1991), better known s Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre, a Roman Catholic bishop who took the lead in opposing the reforms within the Catholic Church associated with the Second Vatican Council (1962-65). In particular, he also condemned ecumenism,[3] the principle of religious liberty, collegiality] and the replacement of the Tridentine Mass. In 1970, he founded the Priestly Society of St. Pius X (SSPX), an organization which continues in existence to this day.

No friend of Cardinal Villot, Archbishop Lefebvre had a different view of Villot's activities outside of the Vatican :

"I had the privilege to act as bodyguard for Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre who was no friend of the Masons and said Villot was a member which I believe him," said his bodyguard about what the Archbishop told him before he died.

So, knowing Cardinal Villot was connected with the dark side, let's look at what others have found over the years connecting the Vatican hierarchy with responsibility of ordered the death of its own leader. However, first let's briefly look at some of the main characters:

Who was Pope John Paul I?

Pope John Paul I (in Latin Ioannes Paulus PP. I), born Albino Luciani (October 17, 1912 - September 28, 1978), reigned as pope and as sovereign of Vatican City from August 26, 1978 to September 28, 1978. His 33-day papacy was one of the shortest reigns in papal history, resulting in the most recent Year of Three Popes. By contrast, the pontiff who succeeded him and who shared his regnal name, John Paul II, went on to have one of the longest reigns in history.

Having died before he could make a legacy as a pope, he is best remembered for his friendliness and humility, drawing comparisons with "Good Pope John", the widely popular Pope John XXIII.

He was the first pope to choose a double name and did so to honor his two immediate predecessors, Pope John XXIII and Pope Paul VI. He was also the first (and so far only) pope to use "the first" in his regal name.

Who was Cardinal Villot?

Jean-Marie Cardinal Villot (11 October 1905 - 9 March 1979) was a French Cardinal of the Roman Catholic Church, Archbishop of Lyon, and a prominent member of the Roman Curia in Vatican City.

Born in Saint-Amant-Tallende , France in 1905, Jean-Marie Villot was ordained a priest in 1930 and an auxiliary bishop of Paris in 1954.

Villot was named Archbishop of Lyon in January 1965 and was elevated to Cardinal the next month by Pope Paul VI, in the consistory of 22 February, with the title of Cardinal-Priest of SS. Trinitࠡl Monte Pincio. He was later given the title of Cardinal-Bishop of Frascati in 1974. Pope Paul VI appointed him prefect of the Congregation for the Clergy in April 1967 and he would then from henceforth play a very prominent role in the papacy of Paul VI, being named Cardinal Secretary of State by Paul in May 1969. In 1970, Cardinal Villot was named Camerlengo of the Holy Roman Church.

In July 1971 he was appointed president of the newly-formed Pontifical Council Cor Unum. It was a position he held until 1978 when he resigned from it during the reign of Pope John Paul I.

Villot remained Secretary of State for the remainder of Paul VI's reign, and was retained in that capacity by both John Paul I and John Paul II, although there is some speculation that he might have been slated for replacement by John Paul I had the Pope reigned longer.

Cardinal Villot participated as an elector in both the August 1978 Papal conlave that elected John Paul I and the October 1978 Papal conclave that elected John Paul II as Pope. Jean-Marie Cardinal Villot died in 1979 in Rome .

Before looking at some of the others involved in John Paul's untimely demise, let's look at how other researchers, including David Yallop and Father Jesus Lopez Saez, felt about the murder of the Pope, as reported by an unknown researcher on the internet:

The murder of Pope John Paul I

"We will go back, My child, in history, a short history, and remember well what had happened in Rome to John, Pope John, whose reign lasted 33 days. O My child, it is history now, but it is placed in the book that lists the disasters in mankind. He received the horror and martyrdom by drinking from a glass. It was a champagne glass given to him by a now deceased member of the clergy and the Secretariat of the State [Cardinal Villot]." - Our Lady of the Roses, May 21, 1983

Yet another book has been written on the suspicious death of Pope John Paul I, this time by a Spanish priest named Father Jesus Lopez Saez. Building upon the work of David Yallop, Father Saez writes:

After almost three years of research, David Yallop wrote, in his book In God's Name (1984), that the precise circumstances attending the discovery of the body of John Paul I "eloquently demonstrate that the Vatican practiced a disinformation campaign." The Vatican told one lie after another: "Lies about little things, lies about big things. All these lies had but one purpose: to disguise the fact that Albino Luciani, Pope John Paul I, had been assassinated." Pope Luciani "received the palm of martyrdom because of his convictions."

Sister Vicenza
Sister Vicenza found the Holy Father dead at approximately 4:45 a.m. on September 29, 1978 and was forced to keep silent by the Secretariat of State, Cardinal Villot, who imposed a vow of silence upon her to cover-up the whole affair. The secretaries were likewise forbidden to advise anyone of the events without Cardinal Villot's authorization. A trustworthy person conveyed to Fr. Saez personally that Sister Vicenza had said, "But the world must know the truth."
Sister Vicenza gave two conflicting reports concerning the state that she first found Pope John Paul I. According to her breathless words to a group of French priests that same morning, it was "in his bathroom" that she had "found him dead." Yet another report (no doubt arranged by Cardinal Villot), says that Sister Vicenza entered the room and found the Pope sitting up in bed, "with an _expression of agony" before he died. This discrepancy is very important: if it was determined that Sister Vicenza found the Holy Father dead in the bathroom, still in his papal robes, this would indicate that Pope John Paul I died shortly after his "toast" with Cardinal Villot the night of September 28, 1978.

Cardinal Villot in the hours following
Pope John Paul I's murder
David Yallop reconstructs the actions of Cardinal Villot and paints a very suspicious portrait. It is reported that at 5:00 a.m. Cardinal Villot confirmed the Holy Father's death. The Pope's glasses, slippers, and will disappeared, "none of these items has ever been seen again." Speculation is that there may have been vomit on the slippers, which if examined would identify poison as the cause of death.
Cardinal Villot (or an aide) telephoned the embalmers and a Vatican car was sent to fetch them. Incredibly, the car was at their door at 5:00 a.m.! What ensued in the following hour is still a mystery.
It was not until 6:00 a.m. that Dr. Buzzonati (not Professor Fontana, the head of the Vatican medical service), arrived and confirmed the death, without drawing up a death certificate. Dr. Buzzonati attributed the death to acute myocardial infarction (heart attack).
At about 6:30 a.m. Villot began to inform the cardinals, an hour and a half after the embalmers had arrived! Yallop notes that, for Cardinal Villot, the embalmers took precedence over the cardinals and the head of the Vatican medical service.
By 6 p.m. that evening, the Papal Apartments had been entirely polished and washed. Yallop writes that the secretaries packed up and carried away the Pope's clothes, "including his letters, notes, books and a small handful of personal mementos.... By 6:00 p.m., the entire 19 rooms of the Papal Apartments were totally bereft of anything remotely associated with the Papacy of Luciani."
Villot arranged for the embalming to be performed that evening, a procedure as unusual as it was illegal. Why the rush? It is also reported that during the embalming it was insisted that no blood was to be drained from the body, and neither were any of the organs to be removed. Yallop notes that "a small quantity of blood would of course have been more than sufficient for a forensic scientist to establish the presence of any poisonous substances."

An alibi for Cardinal Villot:
As the book In God's Name (more than 5 million copies sold) attracted worldwide attention, a disinformation campaign arose in 1984 to discredit David Yallop's conclusions. In a news article quoting Fr. Giovanni Gennari (attempting to defend the Curia against the accusations of investigative journalist David Yallop), Fr. Gennari stated: "John Paul II's predecessor mistakenly took an overdose of tranquillisers... After his conversation with Cardinal Villot, the Pope [John Paul I] mistook the dose he should have taken." (Ouest-France, undated press clipping, July 1984) The same article repeats a statement made by Cardinal Villot in 1978, his alibi

Villot: "What occurred was a tragic accident. The Pope had unwittingly taken an overdose of his medicine. If an autopsy was performed it would obviously show this fatal overdose. No one would believe that His Holiness had taken it accidentally. Some would allege suicide, others murder. It was agreed that there would be no autopsy."

So Cardinal Villot's alibi was that Pope John Paul I overdosed on his own medication for low blood pressure (Effortil). This alibi intentionally left room for speculation of suicide, to deflect attention away from the real cause of John Paul I's death: poisoning by Cardinal Villot himself.

Pope John Paul I was in good health
According to Dr. Buzzonati, Pope John Paul I's cause of death was a heart attack. Regarding this alleged "heart attack," John Paul I's niece affirmed:

"In my family almost no one believes it was a heart attack that killed my uncle. He never had heart trouble or any illness of that kind." (San Juan Star, October 3, 1978) http://www.thesanjuanstar.com/

And Pope John Paul I's brother:

"John Paul's brother Edoardo, in Australia on a trade mission, reported that the Pope had been given a clean bill of health after a medical examination three weeks ago. He was frail in health as an infant and as a young priest, but there were no reports of heart trouble." (San Juan Star, October 9, 1978)

From Time magazine (October 9, 1978):

In an earlier age so untimely a death might have stirred deep suspicions: "If this were the time of the Borgias," said a young teacher in Rome , "there'd be talk that John Paul was poisoned."

But the Vatican replied that such allegations were "irresponsible." (San Juan Star, October 18, 1978)

Enough evidence for any law-respecting state
Fr. Saez notes in his book that the amount of evidence is such that "no judge on earth could disregard it." He also notes that

"the data and the evidence that we already possess would justify a serious judicial enquiry in any law-respecting state. Now, not only does the Vatican refuse to conduct such an enquiry, but it does exactly the opposite: it thwarts and suppresses any research that tries to get to the bottom of this enigma surrounding John Paul I's death. This state of affairs is manifest in the Vatican 's refusal to carry out an autopsy (if in fact one was not carried out) or in the clandestine nature of this operation (if it did actually take place). It also reveals itself in the obscurity surrounding the embalming, in the way that information regarding the circumstances of the death and the discovery of the body was manipulated, in the silence imposed on Sister Vicenza, in the pressure brought to bear on individuals and institutions, and in the widespread fear of speaking about this whole affair. This fear, whether conscious or not, runs particularly deep in ecclesiastical circles."

Prior to Pope John Paul I's murder, Our Lady's message of September 13, 1978 warned that there was a "foul plot" against the Holy Father, and that the world would "soon understand" what She meant. According to Fr. Saez, a recent poll reports that 30% of Italians are convinced that John Paul I was assassinated (about 15 million people).

Fr. Saez's book, Se Pedira Cuenta, (143 pages) is published by: Origenes; Plaza del Tuy, 4; 28029 Madrid Spain .

"But, My children, as I said in the past, I repeat again, that satan and his agents, the band of 666, has entered into the highest places of the hierarchy; and therefore he has captured some of Our formerly noble hierarchy to do his bidding." - Our Lady of the Roses, June 1, 1978

Our Lady of the Roses awesome Bayside Prophecies... http://www.tldm.org/../Bayside/
These prophecies came from Jesus, Mary, and the saints to Veronica Lueken at Bayside, NY, from 1968 to 1995.

The murder of Pope John Paul I
"We will go back, My child, in history, a short history, and remember well what had happened in Rome to John, Pope John, whose reign lasted 33 days. O My child, it is history now, but it is placed in the book that lists the disasters in mankind. He received the horror and martyrdom by drinking from a glass. It was a champagne glass given to him by a now deceased member of the clergy and the Secretariat of the State [Cardinal Villot]." - Our Lady of the Roses, May 21, 1983

Furthermore, to help in understanding some of the other evil doers inside the Vatican before and after the murder of John Paul I, a web site entitled Bayside Prophecies provided an analysis of some of the major players, including the aforementioned Cardinal Villot:

For the sake of brevity, we will focus on only four cardinals: Cardinals Villot, Benelli, Casaroli, and Sodano. Three of these Cardinals have held the office of the Secretariat of State, the second highest position in the Catholic Church. Our Lady of the Roses mentioned three of these men by name on September 27, 1975:

"Antonio Casaroli, you shall condemn yourself to hell! Giovanni Benelli, what road have you taken? You are on the road to hell and damnation! Villot, leader of evil, take yourself from among those traitors; you are not unknown to the Eternal Father. You consort with the synagogue of satan. Do you think you shall not pay for the destruction of souls in My Son's House?" (Our Lady, September 27, 1975)

Cardinal Villot
Fr. Jesus Lopez Saez, in his book Se Pedira Cuenta, reports that 30% of Italians are convinced that John Paul I was assassinated (about 15 million people). The convictions of these people are confirmed by Our Lady of the Roses: "We will go back, My child, in history, a short history, and remember well what had happened in Rome to John, Pope John, whose reign lasted 33 days. O My child, it is history now, but it is placed in the book that lists the disasters in mankind. He received the horror and martyrdom by drinking from a glass. It was a champagne glass given to him by a now deceased member of the clergy and the Secretariat of the State [Cardinal Villot]." - Our Lady, May 21, 1983 (Read more...)

Cardinal Benelli
After the murder of Pope John Paul I, prior to the papal election in October, 1978, Our Lady of the Roses gave this dire message: "My children, a conclave shall start, and without prayers you will receive one on the seat of Peter, one with dark spirits, consorting with the devil." (Our Lady, October 6, 1978)
And Our Lady of the Roses message of June 4, 1977: "Already in Rome, as I gave you in the past, the man called Benelli has come forward to approach the seat of Peter and to bring upon Rome the full reign of 666 on the seat of Peter! I beg you, I implore you, as your Mother, to listen! I have warned you now upon your earth; I have come to you as a Mediatrix between God and man, imploring you to listen to My counsel and My direction. The forces of hell are loosed upon your earth now."

Our Lady of the Roses prophecy fulfilled
The history of this papal election bears witness to Our Lady of the Roses prophecy:
In the first ballot Cardinal Benelli got 22 votes; Siri 18; Felici 17; Baggio 15; Poletti, the Vicar General of the Pope, 6; Cardinal Wojtyla only 2. The remaining 31 votes were dispersed (of the 138 electors, 27 were Italians). 75 votes were required to be elected.
The second vote shortened the field with a big surprise: Cardinal Siri had no votes, but Felici had increased to 30. Benelli had escalated to 40; he needed 35 more to win. Cardinal Wojtyla was astonished to have escalated to 9. Cardinal Koenig was certainly his enthusiastic fan, making proselytes in his favor, especially among the Polish and Germans such as Cardinals Krol and Ratzinger. The other 23 votes were dispersed. The idea of a non-Italian Pope was still hard to digest.
For the third vote there were two big contenders: Cardinal Felici, 38; and Benelli, 46. Cardinal Wojtyla remained immovable at 9 votes.
The fourth ballot was, for many, the end, when they heard that Benelli had got 20 more votes for a total of 60, leaving all other challengers far behind.
So went the fifth and the sixth ballots, except that Cardinal Wojtyla had started to gain ground and his supporters now were 25.
After the seventh ballot, Cardinal Benelli thought he was nearly elected: 70. Five more and he would be the new Pope. Still black smoke poured through the Sistine chimney.
Suddenly, after the eighth ballot, the count had switched: Cardinal Wojtyla, 70; Benelli, 40. All stared at Wojtyla, who went to his room to pray.
Finally, the ninth scrutiny voiced loudly: Karol, Cardinal Wojtyla, from Krakow , had obtained 96 votes. The news was announced by white smoke. Pope John Paul II had become the 266th successor of St. Peter!

Cardinal Casaroli
Our Lady of the Roses gave yet another stern warning to Cardinal Casaroli: "And now, My child, I must ask that you write, that you all write, to Cardinal Casaroli, who is influencing the Holy Father to not listen to this message. His influence shall bring great penance to his soul if he does not come from his course of appeasement, which shall lead to enslavement for many. My child and My children, I do not have to go into a long discourse to tell you of the evils of communism. The world, and its condition, speaks for itself." (Our Lady, June 18, 1987) (Read more...)
Cardinal Casaroli became the Secretary of State in 1979, and held that position throughout the following decade. He was considered the primary practitioner of the Vatican policy of "ostpolitik" (which is precisely the "course of appeasement" Our Lady was talking about) during the years of the Cold War, and in a public address he described his successful efforts to persuade Pope Paul VI to seek accommodations with the Soviet empire-- abandoning the policies of Pope Pius XII, who had refused all forms of cooperation with the communist regime.
Pope Paul VI was torn by doubt about the morality of "ostpolitik," which was administered during his pontificate by the late Cardinal Casaroli. In an interview not long before his death, Casaroli revealed that Pope Paul feared he was not being faithful to the Gospel in remaining silent while Catholics were suffering communist persecution, and that Casaroli had to persuade the Pope "to stay with his (Casaroli's) policy." ["Paul VI had doubts about ostpolitik," CWN news interview, Nov. 24, 1997]
Cardinal Casaroli died on June 9, 1998.

Cardinal Sodano
Cardinal Sodano, once holding the second most powerful position in the Catholic Church (Secretariat of State), has publicly denounced Pope John Paul II as "despotic."

Sodano: praises heretic
In a 1998 speech at the Lateran, Cardinal Sodano praised the heretic Hans Kung as having written "beautiful passages on the Christian mysteries," even though Kung has denied: the divinity of Christ, the miracles of the Gospel, the bodily resurrection of Christ, the historical founding of the hierarchical Catholic Church, and that the Mass is a re-presentation of the Sacrifice of Calvary.
Cardinal Sodano called Kung "the German theologian," even though Cardinal Ratzinger (by order of Pope John Paul II) had stripped K? his theological credentials in 1998. Kung is considered to be the most notorious heretic of the post-conciliar era.

Sodano: receives praise from liberals, heretics and anti-Catholics
Cardinal Sodano has drawn praise from the infamous and heretical organization "Call to Action." Readers may recall that Bishop Fabian Bruskewitz of Lincoln, Nebraska, excommunicated all Catholics in his diocese who attained or retained membership in Call to Action after April 15, 1996 (Read more...). Advocates of Call to Action, elated at what they termed a " Vatican thaw," proclaimed that Cardinal Sodano astonished the worldwide Church by praising the heretical Swiss theologian Hans Kung.
The liberal National Catholic Reporter (NCR) also joined the bandwagon. The April 3, 1998 edition applauded Cardinal Sodano's friendly mention of Kung. The NCR promotes contraception, married priests, and acceptance of woman priests, amongst other things.
Hans Kung was happy, too. He said, "I never got much praise from the Vatican ... I think ... it's an indication of change ... coming changes in the general climate of the Church."
Are any Catholics paying attention?

Sodano: supported Germany 's collusion in counselling that facilitated abortions
Cardinal Sodano initially supported Cardinal Lehmann's stance that Germany 's issuance of certificates used to kill children was a matter for the bishops of Germany to decide. But Sodano was later forced to sign a joint Vatican declaration with Cardinal Ratzinger, insisting that the German bishops' complicity in abortion must cease.
According to The Tablet (April 28, 2001), Cardinal Sodano "had originally supported [Cardinal] Lehmann's position in the controversy over whether the Catholic Church in Germany should continue to provide some of the pregnancy counselling centers there, as Lehmann desired. The question was whether the Church was colluding in abortion by issuing certificates confirming that pregnant women in distress had been given counselling, if these were then used to secure a termination. It had been Sodano's opinion that such matters could be decided by the local bishops' conferences, but eventually he was forced to sign a decree together with Ratzinger which compelled the German Catholic bishops to pull out . . . ."

Sodano: honors mass-murderer Gorbachev
At a June 27, 2000 Vatican press conference, Mikhail Gorbachev was given a seat of honor between Vatican Secretary of State Cardinal Angelo Sodano and Cardinal Achille Silvestrini. The subject of this "press conference" (at which no questions were permitted) was the Ostpolitik of the late Cardinal Casaroli, the former Secretary of State. The Vatican 's policy of refusing to condemn communist repression of Catholics during the Cold War was lauded by Gorbachev and the two Cardinals. This is the same Gorbachev who, in 1987, told his fellow communists that "There must be no letup in the war against religion because as long as religion exists, communism cannot prevail. We must intensify the obliteration of all religions." This is the same Gorbachev who promotes worldwide abortion and contraception through his tax-free foundations. And this is the same Gorbachev who ordered the bloody invasion and war against Afghanistan, in which between 1.5 million and 2 million Afghans were killed (90% of whom were civilians), and 2 - 4 million were wounded.
Cardinal Sladkevicius of Lithuania , a witness to communist persecution of the Church, has warned, "The West has committed a serious error: it is trusting Gorbachev." The Cardinal also said, "Behind the openings of perestroika, a sham can be hidden: I am truly scandalized by the enormous and gratuitous credit which is given to the Kremlin outside the U.S.S.R."
And the Church has been scandalized by Cardinal Sodano.

Sodano: perpetuates infamous Vatican-Moscow Treaty
This horrendous scandal of honoring a murderer like Gorbachev would not have been possible without the Vatican-Moscow Treaty, the outcome of secret negotiations between the Holy See and the Kremlin in Metz , France in 1962. Cardinal Tisserant, Pope John XXIII's own representative, met with Archbishop Nikodim, the Kremlin spokesman, who at the time was head of the department of the external relations of the Russian Orthodox Church. At this meeting, the Vatican promised not to attack the people or the communist regime of Russia at Vatican II. This agreement enabled Russian Orthodox observers to attend the Council.
This existence of the Vatican-Moscow Treaty explains a great deal. It explains why the petition of more than 200 bishops from 46 countries to discuss communism during Vatican II was blocked. It also explains why the petition of the Spanish and Portuguese bishops to consecrate Russia at the Council was also refused.
This treaty has perpetuated a "communism-friendly" negotiating style amongst the Catholic hierarchy that has, for the most part, silenced the Church from effectively speaking out against the atrocities of this godless and ruthless system. In 1990, the KGB defector Anatoliy Golitsyn warned of this mistaken attitude:

"The Vatican should reverse its mistaken support for the renew of the communist regimes.... It fails to understand the greater apparent official tolerance of religion ... is accompanied by a secret drive to increase Party and KGB penetration of the Catholic and other churches and to use agents therein for political and strategic purpose...."

Just what Our Lady of the Roses has warned us about for years, but who listened? Pope Pius XI, prior to Vatican II, issued this crystal-clear condemnation of atheistic communism:

"See to it venerable brethren, that the faithful do not allow themselves to be deceived! Communism is intrinsically evil, and no one who would save Christian civilization may collaborate with it in any undertaking whatsoever. Those who permit themselves to be deceived into lending their aid towards the triumph of communism in their own country, will be the first to fall victims of their errors." (Pope Pius XI, Divini Redemptoris)

Cardinal Sodano continues to uphold the infamous Vatican-Moscow Treaty, the "course of appeasement", and seeks to silence all those who support and encourage the Pope to use God's weapon against worldwide communism: the consecration of Russia by the Pope and all the bishops of the world to the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

"Go forward, My child, now, and bring this message to the world: satan has entered into the House of God. He rules now from the highest places. The world and the Church of God is in deep darkness. Those who are in command-many have fallen away. Pray, My children, much, for with your prayers and sacrifices they, too, can be recovered."
- Our Lady of the Roses, April 13, 1974

Portugal Newspaper Shows Pope John XXIII Was a Practicing Freemason
Other allegations surface showing John XXIII was closely associated with Communists and Freemasons, as he and his followers illegally usurped the papacy from the lawfully elected and true Pontiff, Pope Gregory XVII.
19 Sep 2006
By Greg Szymanski

After the Vatican Bank scandal erupted in the early 1980's, French and Italian news publications listed the names of more than 150 high ranking bishops, archbishops and cardinals who were active members of Freemasonry, including the P2 Masonic Lodge and other dark and sinister secret societies.

The startling information never was publicized in the United States, but the implications should have been devastating to practicing Catholics worldwide since affiliation with Freemasonry is against Canon Law and grounds for immediate expulsion from the Roman Catholic Church.

As damning as the Masonic connections should have been to the Vatican, nothing happened as the allegations were quickly swept under the rug while those high level Vatican priests connected to Freemasonry actually flourished in positions of Vatican power.

However, as bad as it was for high-ranking bishops to be connected with Masonry, now comes even more shocking allegations that Angelo Roncalli, a.k.a. Pope John XXIII was also a practicing Freemason.

The following article, originally published in the Portugal Daily Newspaper on Nov. 12, 2002, and never seeing the light of day in America, proves beyond a reasonable doubt even the highest leader of the Roman Catholic Church was serving a devilish master instead of following and spreading the word of God.

Not only was Roncalli subject to immediate expulsion from the Church for his duplicitous and satanic actions, other recently declassified FBI documents showed Roncalli illegally usurped the papacy by force, at the 1958 Papal Conclave, from the lawfully elected and true Pontiff, Gregory XVII, formally Cardinal Giuseppe Siri of Genoa, Italy.

Here is the 2002 Portugal news article:

The Portugal Daily News
(November 11, 2002)
Fᴩma International (FI), an historic review organisation with offices in Australia , USA, Paraguay and Portugal, has issued a further press release claiming that Cardinal Angelo Roncalli, who was elected as Pope John XXlll in 1958, was a Freemason. In 1994 the Portuguese newspapers "O Dia" and "Correio de Domingo" published a summary of FI's investigations into the case, which stated that Pope John XXlll [Roncalli] had been initiated into a secret society, the Order of Rosicrucians, whilst serving as the Vatican's Charge d?Affairs in Paris during 1935.

A spokesman for FI told THE NEWS that Virgilio Guito, former head of the Italian Grande Oriente Masonic Lodges, in a statement published by the French newspaper "30 Days", said: "It seems that Pope John XXIII has been initiated in Paris, and participated in the works of the Lodges in Istanbul". The spokesman said that as leader of Italian Masonry, Guito would be in a position to know with certainty if Angelo Roncalli had been initiated into the Order in Paris. "It would be incredibly reckless of him to make such a statement if it were not true" he said.

According to Carpi's book, during his Nunciature in Turkey, Roncalli was admitted "into the sect of the Temple" receiving the name "Brother John" - Prophesies of John XXIII, Pier Carpi, p. 52.

The implications of FI's disclosures are of tremendous importance to Catholics worldwide. Under Canon Law any Catholic who [...] becomes a Mason is ipso facto excommunicated from the Church. The consequence regarding Angelo Roncalli, would have been that as an excommunicate it would have been impossible for him to be elected pope. FI also points out that any decrees issued by Roncalli under the mantle of the Papacy would therefore be null and void, including the convoking of the Second Vatican Council in 1962.

Long-standing suspicions regarding John XXIII's links to Masonry were further aroused in 1977, fourteen years after his death. Of particular interest was an advertisement published in the USA, Boston Pilot Magazine, which was offering for sale replicas of John XXIII's pectoral cross. The cross was decorated with several Masonic symbols and had been authorised for sale by Archbishop Capovilla of Loreto, Italy , with the backing of the Vatican.

The Australian Robert Bergin, a founder member of FI who died in 1996, spent the last years of his life in Portugal, where he financed several publications detailing the facts linking the plight of Roncalli to the prophecies given by the Virgin Mary at Fᴩma in 1917. His efforts to persuade the Vatican to investigate Roncalli' s Masonic connections were unsuccessful.

This was of little surprise, as in 1976 the Vatican had failed to respond to the Italian journal, Burghese, which had published a list of over one hundred bishops and cardinals who it claimed were Freemasons. The list was purported to have been taken from the Italian Masonic Register and included the initiation dates and code names assigned to each of the clerics involved.

Furthermore, the "Siri Thesis/Fact," holds that actually Cardinal Giuseppe Siri was elected pope after the death of Pope Pius XII in 1958, but the newly-elected Pope (Gregorius XVII, formerly Cardinal Siri) was threatened [ i.e. put under grave duress at the conclave], prevented from taking the Papal Chair and illegally replaced by Roncalli aka "pope" John XXIII.

As reported on the Immaculate Heart web site, here is a sermon by Fr. Louis J. Campbell given on the last Sunday after Pentecost on Nov. 23, 2003, addressing the issue of Pope Gregory XVII as well as other problems within the hierarchy of the Church:

His Holiness Gregory XVII

Those who are "filled with knowledge of God's will, in all spiritual wisdom and understanding" (Col.1:9), are able to read the signs of the times. They look for those things spoken of by Jesus in today's Gospel from the twenty-fourth chapter of St. Matthew, by which we may know that His Second Coming is near. Christians have always looked for signs of the Lord's return, although St. Paul says in Second Thessalonians that the proximate signs of His coming are the "the great apostasy" and the appearing of the "man of sin" the Antichrist.

"We beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered together unto him, not to be hastily shaken from your right mind, nor terrified, whether by spirit, or by utterance, or by letter attributed to us, as though the day of the Lord were near at hand. Let no one deceive you in any way, for the day of the Lord will not come unless the apostasy comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, who opposes and is exalted above all that is called God or that is worshipped, so that he sits in the temple of God and gives himself out as if he were God" ( 2Thess.2:1-4).

To ignore the signs sent by God is to invite disaster. God sent the Blessed Virgin to Fatima, Portugal, in 1917, to warn the world of the dangers threatened by Communist Russia. If her requests for prayer and sacrifice were not heeded, she said that Russia "will spread her errors throughout the world, causing wars and persecutions of the Church. The good will be martyred; the Holy Father will have much to suffer; various nations will be annihilated." Pope Pius XII, the "Fatima Pope," took her message seriously, although he failed to make the consecration of Russia to her Immaculate Heart together with all the bishops of the world, as she had requested.

If the Revolution of which Our Lady spoke, which began in France and was exported to Russia, were to succeed in becoming global, it would first have to neutralize the Catholic Church, the greatest enemy of the Revolution. Popes like Pius XII could no longer be tolerated. At the time of his death in 1958, the Church and the hierarchy were already riddled with Communist and Masonic infiltrators, agents of change ready to move in for the kill.

Pope Pius had promoted as his successor Cardinal Giuseppe Siri, ardent foe of Communism and defender of the true faith, who would no doubt have followed through with Our Lady's wishes. At the conclave that followed the death of the old Pope, Siri was elected both on the third and fourth ballots, and took the name of Gregory XVII, a fact which is attested to even by documents recently declassified by the FBI, and cited in a recent book. ["The Vatican Exposed" by Paul Williams, pgs. 90-92, Notes p. 243, Prometheus Books, Amherst, NY, 2003. In it Williams cites as his sources the Department of State secret dispatch, "John XXIII" , November 20, 1958, declassified November 11, 1974, and "Cardinal Siri", April 10, 1961, declassified February 28, 1994; the book Murder in the Vatican, Manhattan, page 29-32; and by John Cooney in his book The American Pope: The Life and Times of Francis Cardinal Spellman, 1988, Times Books, as well as Louis Remy in his article "The Pope: Could he be Cardinal Siri?" in Sous La Banniere.

According to the writer on the Immaculate Heart web page, the following conclusions can be drawn:

"This should finally be enough to convince the skeptics that the so-called "Siri Theory" is no theory at all, but an historical fact. It is the best explanation why for more than forty years under the "conciliar popes" the Church has been revolutionized, and the true Church is now in a state of eclipse."

The following is an AP story documenting the confusion regarding the 1958 papal election:

VATICAN CITY (AP) 1958 A.D. - Cardinals balloted Sunday without electing a pope.
A mix-up in smoke signals made it appear for about half an hour that Pius XII's successor had been chosen. For a time 200,000 Romans and tourists in huge Saint Peter's Square were certain the church had a new pontiff. Millions of others who listened to radios throughout Italy and Europe also were certain. They were certain. They heard the Vatican speaker shout exultantly: 'A pope is elected.."

"The scene around the Vatican was one of incredible confusion. White smoke from a little chimney atop the Vatican is the traditional signal announcing the election of a new pope. Black smoke indicates failure. Twice during the day smoke billowed from the chimney. At noon the smoke at first came white but it quickly turned unquestionably black. This was the sign the cardinals had failed to elect on the first two ballots, at nightfall white smoke billowed from the slender chimney for a full five minutes. For all the outside world knew, a new pontiff had been chosen."

"Clouds of smoke were caught in search lights trained on the Sistine Chapel chimney. 'Bianco! Bianco!' roared many in the crowd. 'White, white.'

"The Vatican Radio announced the smoke was white. The announcer declared the cardinals at that moment probably were going through the rites of adoration for a new supreme pontiff. For a long time Vatican Radio stuck to its insistence the smoke was white."

"Even high Vatican officials were fooled. Callori di Vignale, governor of the conclave, and Sigismondo Chigi, the conclave Marshall , rushed to takeup the positions assigned to them. The Palatine Guard was called from its barracks and ordered to prepare to go to St. Peter's Basilica for (the) announcement of the new pope's name. But the guard was ordered back to barracks before it reached the square. The Swiss Guard was also alerted."

"Chigi, in an interview with the Italian radio, said uncertainty reigned in the palace. He added that this confusion persisted even after the smoke had subsided and until assurances were received from within the conclave that black smoke was intended. He said he had been at three other conclaves and never before seen smoke as varied in color as Sunday's. He told newsmen later he would arrange to have the cardinals informed of Sunday's smoke confusion in the hope that something can be done to remedy the situation Monday."

"Priests and others working within the Vatican grounds saw the white smoke. They started to cheer. They waved kerchiefs enthusiastically, and figures of conclavists -- cardinal's assistants -- in the windows of the apostolic palace waved back. Possibly they, too, believed a pope had been elected."

"The crowd waited in agony of suspense. Any pope elected would ordinarily appear on the balcony within twenty minutes. The crowd waited a full half hour now wondering whether the smoke was meant to be black or white. Doubt set in swiftly. Many in the vast crowd began to drift away. But still there was confusion. News media had flashed around the world the word that a new pope had been chosen."

"Telephone calls poured into the Vatican, jamming its exchange. As time wore on and doubts increased, the callers all asked one question: "Black or white?"

"After a half hour, radios began to chatter excitedly that the answer was still uncertain. Only well after the time when a new pope should have appeared on the balcony above St. Peter's Square was it certain that the voting would have to resume Monday at 10 a.m. (3 a.m. CST).

Talking about how the papacy was actually "wrestled" from Pope Gregory by Roncalli who was a friend of Communists and Freemasons, here is the continuation of Fr. Louis Campbell's sermon:

The world had watched expectantly as white smoke signaled the election of the new pope, the crowds cheered, the papal guard assembled to welcome him, church bells rang all over Italy, and reports of his election flashed around the world. But a momentous struggle was taking place within the conclave, the outcome of which was already "fixed". Pope Gregory XVII would not be permitted to take his rightful place in the line of the successors of Peter. The papal office was wrested from Siri, and that friend of Communists and Freemasons, Angelo Roncalli, usurped the papal throne as John XXIII.

John XXIII's address at the opening of Vatican II, the instrument which was to bring about Revolution within the Church, are a rebuke for Pius XII, Cardinal Siri, and the Blessed Virgin Mary herself: "In these modern times," he said, "they can see nothing but prevarication and ruin. They behave as though at the time of former Councils, everything was a full triumph of the Christian idea and life. We must disagree with these prophets of gloom. Divine Providence is leading us to a New Order of things" (John XXIII, October 11, 1962).

The Freemasons could not conceal their delight that a pope who would implement their "New Order of things" was finally seated on the papal throne, something for which they had long plotted and conspired. He was immediately labeled "Good Pope John." No friend of Fatima, considering it a hoax, "Good Pope John" would put a stop to it, beginning by refusing to publish the Third Secret of Fatima in 1960, as Our Lady had requested. Fatima would not be allowed to interfere with his grandiose plans for dialogue with Communism, the Great Red Dragon that threatened to envelop both world and Church in its godless ideology.


The dire consequences of ignoring Our Lady's message at Fatima may be understood from the words of Our Lord Jesus Christ to Sr. Lucy at Rianjo in August, 1931: "Make it known to my ministers that given they follow the example of the King of France in delaying the execution of My request, that they shall follow him into misfortune." Our Lord was referring to the failure of the King of France to consecrate France to His Sacred Heart, as He had requested through St. Margaret Mary Alacoque. The result-Revolution against throne and altar, bloodshed, apostasy, from which France has never recovered. King Louis XVI, the last king of France before the Revolution, was imprisoned and finally executed in 1793. "They shall follow him into misfortune." Misfortune indeed has fallen upon the papacy and the Church. As a result of ignoring Our Lady's pleas we have seen two great world wars and worldwide Revolution, while the "great apostasy" predicted by St. Paul marches through the Church like the grim reaper.

A sad epilogue to these events confirms their reality. The final insult to the Blessed Virgin Mary is that her beloved Shrine at Fatima has fallen into the hands of apostates who plan to convert it into an ecumenical center "where all the religions of the world will gather to pay homage to their various gods," as the recent news release from Portugal put it. Archbishop Michael Fitzgerald, President of the Pontifical Council for Inter-Religious Dialogue has denied the report, but plans are already underway, and a hideous new basilica will be built to house the strange new Fatima pilgrims.

But we are getting somewhere. Gradually, the truth leaks out, and everyone will soon realize that the true Church has been eclipsed by a monstrous deception. The Immaculate Heart of Mary will finally triumph, and Jesus Christ will return to claim His Bride, the Church, purified and made holy and immaculate through present trials. "He who testifies to these things says, 'It is true, I come quickly!'Amen! Come, Lord Jesus!" (Apoc.22:20). [END SERMON]

Why are Christians such Pussies?

By Henry Makow Ph.D. – May 13, 2006

"The Da Vinci Code"

When an innocuous cartoon of the Prophet Mohamed was published,
Muslims rioted and burned down embassies. But next week, a major
Hollywood movie will challenge the veracity of Jesus Christ and
Christians are sitting on their hands.

I have not read "The Da Vinci Code" but I understand it asserts that
Christ married Mary Magdalene and had children. His descendants are
still alive. Essentially it challenges the Bible story and the
Christian belief that Christ was the Son of God. It transfers
Christ's prestige to an Illuminati-like secret society that is
protecting Christ's descendants against the Catholic Church.

The book and movie are yet another blasphemous assault on
Christianity trumpeted by the full force of the Illuminati-owned mass
media.

Recently Carolyn, a Christian reader from Maine, expressed her
frustration in this email.

"Next week with 'the Da Vinci code,' "They" are going to call Jesus a
liar as far as His Death and resurrection are concerned. Then they
are going to claim his blue blood line. This would make Jesus a
liar... wouldn't it? It is so twisted what they are selling and i
count myself lucky to have a least read The Scriptures. 'My Feet Are
Fitted With Readiness.' (Corinthians 6:15) What is going to be said
about Jesus next week is apostasy."

I replied: "People like you should show their outrage publicly."

She replied: "HOW??? With Whom??? Where is the Remnant???"

I shrugged my shoulders. To change the metaphor, why are Christians
such lambs? Why do they always need a shepherd to lead them and a
flock to be part of? Isn't Christ a personal matter? Can't they act
as individuals? Can't they take initiative? Organize a picket or
protest in some other imaginative way?

When Muslims in Afghanistan heard that the Koran was being flushed
down the toilet in far away Guantanamo Bay, they rioted. For them the
battle against Satan is very real, and they are willing to sacrifice
their lives. This is why they pose the last remaining religious
obstacle to the Satanic New World Order.

Similarly, question the details of the Holocaust, and Jews will
cite "hate crimes" and put you in jail.

But do the same thing with the central fact of Christianity and there
is a call for a boycott from the Catholic Church. Well, dah. That's
not very scary.

Why are Christians such pussies? They sat idly by while Christ was
crucified! Their reaction wasn't even a factor in that decision.

I have heard various explanations. Christ said, "Turn the other
cheek" and "Render unto Caesar what is Caesar's."

On the other hand, there is the example of Christ turning over the
tables of the moneychangers in the temple. Let's follow Christ's
example.

What good are Christian beliefs if you don't stand up for them? Where
is the self-respect of Christians if they allow their beliefs to be
trampled on?

But it gets worse. Some so-called Christians like George W. Bush
actually serve Satan. He is a member of a satanic secret society, the
Illuminati Skull and Bones.

Christian chaplains serve with the American army in Iraq and minister
to soldiers. Everyone should know Sept. 11 was a hoax designed to
justify imperialist wars and domestic repression. It was perpetrated
by the Illuminati bankers in London with the help of their puppets in
the US government. You just have to look at who bought the Put
Options on the airline stock to know the true perpetrators. (Of
course this info has been suppressed.)

Christians should file "hate crime" law suits against the makers of
the "Da Vinci Code." On the Judgment Day we will be graded NOT by
what we believed but by what we did. It's time Christians stood up
for Christ.

God and Gun Control: The Bible's Perspective on Personal Ownership and Use of Weapons, and Related Matters

This page contains research detailing what the Bible says about owning and using guns. (c) 1996, 1997, 1999 David C. Treibs


Questions answered by the research include:
What objects are considered evil, and does the list include firearms or other weapons?
Aren't people basically good, and isn't their behavior determined by their environment, and doesn't that make it dangerous to have weapons readily available to influence them to do evil?
What does it mean to trust God, and how can you have faith if you use a gun for defense?
Must you always obey the law, even if it means turning in your guns, or your neighbor?
Are there any examples where God divinely helped someone obtain or use weapons?
Are there any examples where God divinely helped someone use deadly force?
Does the Bible compare weapons to good things or bad things?
What does the Bible say about weapons of mass destruction, ie, those "high capacity assault weapons supposedly useful only for killing many people?"
Aren't good and evil basically two sides of the same coin?
God's Word is the Final Authority on All Matters
No matter what is the socially acceptable, popular or fashionable, even among Christians, whatever our feelings or opinions or ideas about God and guns, we must base our final conclusion on what the Bible says, and nothing contradictory to it. There is only one interpretation of scripture--God's interpretation--the meaning he wants us to have. Our duty is to find out what he wants to know by diligent study, including by comparing scripture with scripture. We cannot ascertain God's interpretation by praying and waiting for some feeling to come over us to give us God's will on a matter. That feeling is likely caused by the pizza we ate too late last night. Our feelings about any particular subject are irrelevant--it is God's view of things that matters, and that we are to conform ourselves to, not the other way around. If our feelings, impressions, or leadings conflict with God's word, they are wrong and God's word is correct (let God be true and every man a liar). If we do not know or are unsure of God's view on matters, we can not and should not form our own, uninformed opinion. We should seek God's view on the matter by studying his Word, the Bible.
Logical Reasoning Based on Biblical Principles
There is evil.
(the human heart is full of evil and deceit, and is capable of doing evil because of its wickedness, not because of external objects)
Good and innocent and the helpless each is not equal to evil (there is a difference between good and evil)
(as those who say shouldn't kill anyone trying to kill you because have no right to kill anyone (they value the evil person the same as the good person, and in so doing, place good and evil on the same level.)
There is constant war between them
Evil is constantly trying to destroy or harm or corrupt or use the good, innocent, and helpless
The destruction of the innocent is evil (even though God can bring some good out of it) as he demonstrates by allowing defense to prevent, and by severely punishing afterward. The destruction of the innocent is brought on by sin; even death of animals has been brought about by sin.
The wiser and stronger and more cunning will win
The righteous and the decent (not necessarily the same always) must defend the innocent and helpless, and must stop sin,
Because those being harmed are not always innocent, but what is being done to them is wrong no matter who it is being done to. We must reprove the unfruitful works of darkness--actively work to stop them--not just have nothing to do with them.
We must do what is in our power to do--Proverbs 3:27
Verses stating God will save, help, rescue, defend, etc do not relieve us of our duty to do the same.
We must not just defend the innocent, but stop evil and sin, because some people are not all that innocent, but there is still no reason to allow sin to work destruction on them.
Also, sin may not be hurting anyone presently, but because of it's nature it will eventually, and the sooner it is stopped, the easier it is to stop, and the less difficult it will be to reverse the damage and set things right and begin things moving down the proper path.
If we do not stop evil and sin, especially when it is in our power to do so, we are party to it and God will hold us accountable for the destruction and loss it causes.
God will help the good, the devil, sin, human nature, and the world will help the evil
prayer is part but not all of it
Good and innocence have God-given right to prevail over evil...
And have God-given right to use force to and weapons to stop and/or wipe out evil even if in limited terms--defense, war, capital punishment, etc can't just go around killing everyone who's evil (killing those who kill the innocent does sometimes seem an acceptable part of this defense)
Special revelation vs no special revelation: just do the right thing and follow God's word.
Sometimes God divinely told someone to take up weapons and fight the enemy, other times they did it simply because there was a need, because they were obligated to protect their nation, or because it was the right thing to do.
To Demostrate That Ownership and Use of Weapons is Not Evil
Evil People
Define the wicked, basically by what they do, and by what is in their heart, not by what they own.
Define the violent man of Psalms--he who commits violent acts of evil.
the armed madman
the armed wicked
the oppressor
the destroyer
workers of iniquity
the fool
Various evil people use weapons to commit evil, but the focus is to put away the evil people, not to take away the weapons from everyone. At the very least we can see that weapons are morally neutral tools.
Evil Objects
Evil objects, generally related to idolatry, or that might have demons attached, or that God wants destroyed, such as the effects of the 7 nations he wanted Israel to annihilate.
the case of pornography: that which sole purpose is to incite lust, ie sin, and is therefore inherently evil; and also because it is the display of nakedness outside of the marital bedroom, which is also a sin
Descerning God's Opinion of Ownership and Use of Weapons
God's opinion of weapons as derived from various comparisons, analogies, juxtapositions, etc.--many good things and God himself are frequently compared, etc with personally owned and used weapons. For example, Ps 127:4-5 As arrows [are] in the hand of a mighty man; so [are] children of the youth. Happy [is] the man that hath his quiver full of them....
God's character: completely in harmony with use and ownership of weapons.
God's weapons--both figurative and literal demonstrate he can own and use them.

Armed angels--same.

Examples where God divinely blessed and/or helped people in the acquisition, ownership, and use of weapons, and how God participated in battles, etc. Demonstrate that we can own and use them as well as God and his angels.

Conclusion: Not only are we allowed to own and use weapons, we are required to use them for defense of ourselves, our families, our homes, our brethren, our nation, and our liberty, or we are worse than infidels, and their blood will be required at our hands.
God's Judgment
God's judgments are both
--the natural consequences of sin, and,
--God's divine acts of punishment.
His judgments include:
being unable to defend your capital ($);
loss of property;
being unable to successfully resist;
destruction of the innocent, the young, the old, the helpless;
being disarmed;
evil rulers--they do evil that brings more judgment;
removing good and helpful people that are beneficial;
violence, famine, sin, oppression, tyranny, servitude
our own king smites us (Waco, Ruby Ridge, EPA, OSHA, etc etc etc)
the list in Lamentations 5
destruction of our children--we murder them ourselves
If we can't resist God's judgment, we can't resist any judgments, including rape, loss of property, having our children taken away, crime, evil government, etc. Good thing this is nonsense.
We are required to resist and fight against the evil, even when it is clearly God's judgment against our nation.
We are not resisting God when we do this. The purpose of the punishment is to bring repentence.
Refusing to repent is resisting God's judgment: fighting evil and defending our families and nation are not.
Fighting evil is obeying God's command to defend those we are able--as the watchman was to warn those he could warn.
"Standing by" when it is on our power to act is one of the sins in Obadiah.
In fact, fighting evil is part of repentence, because God command us: "put away the evil from among you," and you have to put away the evil doers to stop the sin and the destruction of the innocent, which angers God a great deal and brings judgment in the first place.
Praying and seeking God are also part of it.
Repentence must accompany resistance, or resistance will fail, or at least God won't help any, and may even fight against you.
Second only to repentance, our duty is to resist and throw off the oppression, to defend the innocent, the helpless, the oppressed, our nation, our people, our families, houses, and God's name, glory, laws, and principles.
We are required to resist even if the entire nation, or even most of the nation, is not repentant. God will decide if he will grant us any reprieve.
Our resistance must be zealous and furious, and of the most cunning, intelligent, skillful, organized means available to us, or God will be angry with us (smite the arrows 5 or 6 times)--we cannot be half-hearted. God may give us only what we work hard enough to receive--if we half-heartedly work for deliverance, we may receive only half deliverance, or none at all, or it may not be half that God wanted us to have, but because of our lazy, ungodly attitude and lack of faith, which produced a lack of action, he could do no mighty miracle.
Often, those who were fighting the punishments God had sent were the ones God had divinely sent to rescue his people. Good thing they didn't decide that to fight God's judgment was to resist God.
They didn't always have divine revelation that they were supposed to fight--they just did it because it was the right thing to do.
Those resisting succeeded when God was ready to grant at least some mercy, as in Ezra 9:7-8, they recieved "a little grace."
"Dying of fighting is no disgrace," Keep on the Firing Line (song).
Those who execute God's judgment will have to answer for what they do--if they harm the innocent, God's people, etc.
The righteous suffer with the wicked!
Christians are NOT exempt from the suffering, calamity, destruction, and horror brought on by God's judgment!!
Being disarmed is a judgment from God and is therefore evil. That means gun control is evil. "I will bring evil upon you...."
Examples of Gun Control
---unquestionable examples
Judges 5:8, the time of Deborah and Jael, the people forsook God, and they were, therefore, disarmed and oppressed
I Samuel 13:19,22 Israel was captive to the Philistines, and disarmed
---possible examples: suggested or implied
Judges 3:16, Ehud had to make a dagger, perhaps because weapons were not readily available--they were, after all, being oppressed by the king
Esther 8:11 It doesn't say they were disarmed, but being a captive nation, they probably were. Mordecai gave them the first Second Amendment: to form organized bands, to be armed, to do whatever necessary to defend themselves
---oblique references
Isaiah 10:1-2 not quite the context, but it takes away the right of (self-defense) from the needy and the poor and the widows and the fatherless so they may be a prey and robbed
Luke 11:21-22 first you take their weapons, then you take their goods
---loss of major defenses
Jer 5:10-11 they were disarmed by having Jerusalem's walls and battlements removed
Jer 52:14 walls of Jerusalem were broken down by the army of Chaldeans. This may be a fulfillment of 5:10-11
God's Blessing
God's blessings: armed, successful resistance, property and wealth, liberty.
Being armed is a blessing and a gift and weapons are therefore not just neutral but good, desirable and necessary for success and prosperity and righteousness (to put away the evil, to defend the righteous and helpless).
Knowing how to fight and being trained in warfare is a blessing, and is something God desires for his people.
How God Works, and How He Provides
How God works:
all by himself,
using us a little and him mostly,
him directly and divinely (angel kills them all),
using us mostly.
How God provides for us (everything, including life, liberty, property, and safety)
through us:
-by giving us principles to live by in his Word
-by giving us an understanding of this world and it's laws, including physical laws, sin and death, cause and effect, etc
through others:
-by using those who are not his to meet our needs
through himself:
-by supernaturally intervening
God's Laws of Reaping and Sowing, Cause and Effect
(The laws he set up are "good" (Genesis), he wants us to live harmoneously with them and take advantage of them and harness them for our use and benefit ("dress the garden and keep it," "ye may eat of the fruit of the garden") like we can harness the power of a river instead of being washed away by it, we can harness the power of nitrogen, steel, wood, action and reaction, etc and make a weapon.)
We live in a physical, cause/effect (reap/sow) world and must respond appropriately and effectively; and must prepare (instead of just responding afterwards, prepare beforehand (forsee evil and hide, ie, prepare ahead of time)) just as appropriately and effectively; at the level of the threat or use wisdom to overcome superior numbers or strength (don't lock door as sufficient protection from an invading army).
Trusting in God, and having Faith in God
Trusting God does not equal doing nothing.
Faith without works is dead.
Our trust is in God to prosper our efforts and to make our warfare effective. We don't trust our weapons or efforts: our faith is in God that "he will do it," and he will "give us good success."
How the militia worked
Abraham
He trained and armed minutemen, ready to fight at a moment's notice to deal with the ever present robbers and bands of predators and spoilers.
The first recorded act of weapons and warfare (weapons and acts of violence were previously mentioned, but not organized warfare) was carried out by Abraham's militia and had the personal blessing of God himself, ie, Melchesedec. Blessing Abraham and his militia and receiving his spoils are Melchesedec's only recorded actions.
Israel at their exodus
Initially they obtained armed when leaving Egypt
--they probably had a few stashed away from the Egyptians
--they may have taken some when they "borrowed" stuff from the Egyptians
--they likely garnered a few from the drowned Egyptians who washed up on shore, since it was standard practice to take weapons from defeated foes
--they took them from the nations they defeated
They were all _commanded_ to be armed, and Moses didn't provide the weapons, they provided or adapted their own
They were commanded to fight until everyone's enemies were annihilated
Israel in the promised land
They were organized, armed, and trained from the bottom up
individuals were armed and it was not unusual for them to go about armed
local men on both a family and a community basis formed militia groups for local defense (they were all men, by the way)
each tribe had their own defense forces: these were the largest family based militia units operating in Israel
the kings could use their national army, if they had one, and/or they could call up the people if they needed to
--sometimes the king completely outfitted his national army
--sometimes he augmented the personal weapons of those in his army
--sometimes those serving the king were on their own entirely
---making their own from local smiths
---spoiling defeated enemies of weapons
---adapting farming, butchering, carpentry, etc tools for warfare
--sometimes he armed the people at large without any accounting of the weapons he passed out, at least it isn't mentioned (?unsure?) --occasionally the entire nation was trained in a particular weaponscraft: Saul trained everyone in the use of the bow
The king was not permitted to amass large quantities of weapons (horses): he was not to have a large standing army, but rather trust in God and use the militia.
Military activity was initiated at all levels without supervision or permission from above
--frequently, very brave and strong individuals carried on one man campaigns against criminals, invaders, or evil people
--local groups fought as necessary without anyone's help or permission
--the individual tribes acted, and sometimes called other tribes to help them when necessary
--the king acted against the biggest threats, invading armies, etc, but sometimes the smaller groups helped the king, or if the king was stupid or cowardly or unavailable, the local groups did the fighting
What our Attitudes Should and Should Not Be
Our attitude: humility and a servant's heart, not Rambo, but also aggressive and persistent when necessary. (the servant/soldier--mailed, bended knee)
Our purpose in life: to please God, follow his word, be a light and a witness to the world, and to do whatever it takes to make that easier to do. Be in power to keep the wicked out so they don't stop the spread of the gospel like they do in Communist/secular humanist countries.
Last days/end times attitude (God has determined that things will wax worse and worse, and we can't stop it, so why try?) is not to sit and wait and do nothing--it is to "occupy till I come".
(Wrong!) Christ will rapture us from all the evil to come so we don't need to prepare for it or try to stop it, since it is predestinated to succeed anyway and we can't stop it and in any event we won't do any suffering!
Obeying the law:
First, We obey the law of our land, which is our Constitution. If our own law says anything, at least from the feds, that violates the Constitution, it is null and void and illegal, and we have no obligation to obey in, in fact, we have a duty to disobey and overthrow any such contravening, unconstitutional laws. If we obey them, we legitimize them, if we disobey them and hold to the Constitution, we re-establish our Constitution as the supreme law, and de-establish the illegal, unconstitutional laws.
Second, the Dec of Indep says certain laws are inalienable and are from God, and any gov't that denys these rights are illegitimate and should be changed. Our Bill of Rights establishes some of those inalienable rights, including the 2nd A, and when gov't goes against this, even state gov'ts, they are contravening the Dec of Indep and God's law, and we have no duty to obey them, but again, a duty to disobey and change them.
Third, the Bible says we ought to obey God rather than men, and when man's law contravenes God's law, we have the duty to obey God rather than men, only we have to understand that we may have to bear the consequences of these actions. The Bible commands us to do many more things besides preach the gospel, and we can violate none of these commands.
Hard Sayings
Certain teachings people take to mean to use no arms, but they do not follow these consistently according to their interpretation, and anyway, these must be compared with other scriptures to understand their meaning. While I might not be able to explain what they mean, I can show that they don't mean use no weapons.
Resist not evil.
Whoever takes the sword will perish with the sword.
Turn the other cheek.
Ye know not of what spirit ye are (in response to, Lord, shall we call fire down from heaven on them?)
The weapons of our warfare are not carnal.
My kingdom is not of this world, else would my servants fight.
Let everyone be subject to the higher powers, which are ordained of God (Rom 13).
Whoever lives by the sword will die by the sword.
Be subject to every ordinance of man
Why we suffer
--We live in a fallen world that has been poisoned by sin, things break down and wear out, including bodies, minds, things, etc. Entropy reigns.
--We reap what we sow, even years later, the paths we choose and the consequences of those choices and the fruits of the seeds. We both as a nation and an individual reap what those before us have sown, even several generations back.
--Others' sins.
--God is conforming us to his image--He doesn't care too much about our happiness as much as He wants up to be like Him, he has to chip away at our rough spots and put us through the furnace to make us like pure gold and to try our works and burn up all but the gold. It it not our purpose to remain unharmed, if being harmed will further God's kingdom. His grace is sufficient.
--The devil and the world hate God and his word, and therefore us, they are out to wear us down and destroy our usefulness for Christ and nullify our work, cause us to sin, or kill us.
I will focus mostly on reaping and others' sins. The nation reaps, and the innocent suffer from others.
Gun control earns the curses of Obadiah 1:10-15
1. (14) "neither shouldest thou have delivered up those that remain in the day of distress
(actively working to bring about the destruction of others, without actually being the trigger man (this is not even being the murderer, but actively helping the murderer secure and dispatch his victims) (As Israel did to Sampson, capturing him and turning him over to the Philistines. And, like police do to rescuers.)
2. (14) "Neither shouldest thou have stood in the crossway, to cut off
(going along with others who destroy without being in the forefront and heading it up, again letting others do the dirty work, but it is one step removed from #1, making it harder for victims to escape their oppressors)
3. (10) stoodest on the other side, thou wast as one of them (standing by while people are being destroyed when it is in our power to stop it) (Judges 6:25-27: Gideon did not stand by)
4. (13) nor have laid hands on their substance in the day of their calamity (also see 2 Chr 28:2-6,8-16)
(reaping the fruits of evil knowing where those fruits came from and not doing anything to undo the damage and restore those harmed)
The Curses
15 as thou hast done, it shall be done unto thee
1 will be attacked in battle
7 those at peace with you will harm you
8 the wise men will be destroyed out of the country
9 the strong warriors will be dismayed, so that everyone may be slaughtered
There is no real distinction among the 4 crimes, they are all lumped together and referred to as "violence against they brother Jacob" (10), when it's not even recorded here that the Edomites personally killed anyone, because each plays a part in destroying Israel by helping her enemies, even in very passive and indirect ways.
The question may arise, how could the curses be applied to actions such as registration, licensing, background checks, etc which in themselves do not disarm anyone and therefore do not directly harm anyone. The answer is, they are all part of the process of disarmament, regulating, and restricting the RTKBA, and in the end, giving the gov't the tools and information to render us helpless and rule over us as tyrants, and to lead them into the mindset of servitude: that gov't is our provider and that we should surrender our responsibilities including our God-given responsibility to defend ourselves and our families, to gov't, and gov't is the best trustee of force and the means of force (weapons), and we as individuals are not, and gov't must carefully monitor, check, regulate, and control that amount of force that it leaves in our hands. Pvb 25:26 When the righteous fall down before, that is, render themselves subservient to, the evil, that is troublesome and bad. When people render themselves prostrate, vulnerable, surrendered, and open to gov't, that is the same.
a. It was all part of the process that led to their destruction;
b. It did nothing to reverse the process, even though it also did not help, just like standing by on the other side and watching didn't in any way harm the Israelites, and didn't even enable the enemy to more easily kill them (like blocking the way and turning them over to the enemy did), but they didn't help them fight off the enemy or escape.
It is evident that licensing and registration are part of gov't control and disarmament: with the fuss about licensing cigarette distributors and sellers, an article appeared in USA Today noting that someone wanted sellers to be licensed and registered so they could be controlled--have their license yanked if they failed to operate properly. There also was an article in 97 in the American Rifleman about a man who went to live somewhere with tough licensing and registering requirements, and it took forever for his guns to go through, and it was evident to him that licensing and registration were tools of control.
Miscellaneous
Religious duties, ie, going to church, fasting, tithing, etc without freeing the oppressed, breaking yokes, defending the helpless, etc makes God angry.
OT principles, examples, and scriptures are valid for NT people.
Outline and notes of Sermon given at Fredericksburg Baptist Church,
mid-1999, by David C. Treibs
4 Major points in this brief:
--God has put his approval on being armed
--God has used his people armed to accomplish his will (not that you have to be armed, but you will suffer the consequences if you aren't)
--God hasn't changed his mind
--The Second Amendment is based on God's Word, and we should not trample either one.
Since the school shootings, and other mass shootings, much debate has occurred over gun control. As Christians, our duty is to determine God's will on these matters, and act upon it, instead of being swayed by the world and it's faulty reasoning.
I. We must determine God's will by diligent study.
A. We must PROVE what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect will of God (Romans 12:2)
B. We must diligently examine evidence for and against from SCRIPTURE, not just people's uninformed opinions: Acts 17:10-11
C. We must prove GOD's will. He has only 1 opinion on the
subject--scripture is not open to contradictory interpretations. We must find God's opinion, which is revealed in scripture. 2 Peter 1:20
D. 2 Timothy 3:15,16. The Old Testament is referred to as scripture in v. 15, and, according to v. 16, is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, including the doctrine of gun ownership and self-defense.
II. One of the simplest ways to demonstrate God's approval of ownership and use of weapons is by studying examples where God divinely blessed the ownership and use of weapons.
These examples tie in directly to what is happening today.
Background information: two major concepts in the Second Amendment:
the militia is necessary to the security of a free state;
the right to keep and bear arms
Caveats:
Don't be sidetracked by words. A militia is no more than a group of armed people who band together to fight for a cause. Biblical causes include protecting our selves, families, homes, land, nation, and liberty.
Don't be side tracked by false ideas: the Second Amendment is not about hunting or target shooting.
Also, although you can't believe what the media says, don't be side tracked by abuses that are played up by the media: kooky or murderous militias, and abuse of weapons.
A. Melchesedec and Abram (Abraham): God himself explicitly blesses actions that are based on the Second Amendment
Set the stage:
There was a big battle: 4 kings fighting against 5 kings in the valley where Sodom and Gomorrah were situated, and where Lot lived. The kings including Sodom and Gomorrah were defeated. The enemy swept in, looting, plundering, stealing goods, and women, and people for slavery, including Lot and his family. Someone escaped and brought word to Abram.
While it is not recorded that they had the equivalent of the Second Amendment, it is obvious that they lived by it.
Genesis 14:14-16
Abram had numerous armed and trained fighting men. Obviously he armed and trained them himself, because they survived using the principles of the Second Amendment, a strong militia, and heavily armed.
This large a military operation could not be carried out by novices. The immediacy of the response, the degree of coordination, the skill, and the efficiency, could only be accomplished by men who are highly trained in warfare. This instance is the first detailed account in the Bible of warfare involving the good guys, and they were clearly a well trained militia, and they were armed to the teeth.
Genesis 14:18-20
Melchizedek--which most people consider a pre-incarnate Christ--personally blessed Abram and received a tithe of the spoils. In fact, these are his only recorded actions in all of scripture! If Abram's militia, or his being armed to the teeth, or his fighting had been abominable to God, he certainly would not have blessed him, nor would he have received a portion of the spoils--it would have been blood money. This is the first recorded instance of God personally blessing someone being armed to the teeth, and using a militia to carry out God's work.
In case you don't believe the OT, and you think it doesn't apply today, Heb 7:1-4 sets the record straight. God repeats his blessing on Abraham and his militia, his weapons, and his warfare.
(Also, be aware that Heb 11 blesses many for acts of warfare, which is a subject for another study.)
B. Nehemiah: another example of someone living by the Second Amendment, while engaged in God's work, with God's explicit blessing.
Nehemiah 4:6-9.
Set the scene:
Nehemiah was doing God's work, rebuilding the walls of Jerusalem, but the enemies of God and the Jews was determined to stop them, by force if necessary.
Nehemiah's response was to 1. pray, 2. prepare to fight.
Pay particular attention to v. 16-18, wherein they did God's work with a work tool in one hand, and an weapon in the other. Every worker was armed, and there was a plethora of weapons both in number and in type. Each worker was bearing arms.
Also note v. 19-20,22-23 they had a command structure, communications, plans for battle and troop movements, etc, as any militia company would have.
(Another important point, not covered here, is that God is credited with doing the work (v. 15), even while the people are the ones doing the work of both building the walls and preparing to defend themselves. In many instances, God uses the work we do to accomplish his will, such as providing our protection, security, etc. Just because the Bible says God protects us, that doesn't relieve us of our duty to protect ourselves and our families.)
Perhaps most importantly, we see that God's personal blessing was on their work, both to build the wall, and to defend themselves against the enemy: v. 15.
Finally, we can thrill to the words of Nehemiah when he rallied the people to remember God, and to fight valiantly for all God had given them, much as Patrick Henry did when he raised the roof with his "give me liberty or give me death speech," v. 14.
C. Esther and Mordecai: the first known instance of a government decreeing the Second Amendment. (Yes, I know God grants rights, and government's job is to secure what God has granted, but this was a start towards that understanding.)
Set the scene: Esther 3:13,
the order is given that, on a certain day, whosoever will may slaughter the Jews and take their goods as spoil. Esther 3:6 reveals that this is clearly an act of genocide. The Jews are beside themselves with grief.
The law could not be reversed by other legislation, so it had to be countermanded.
Esther 8:11-12
The queen persuades the king to countermand the decree. The king gives his ring to Mordecai, Esther's uncle, so he can make whatever law is necessary to countermand the decree. Mordecai grants all Jews the right to stand together, armed, and to fight to defend themselves and to destroy those who would hurt them.
Mordecai grants the Jews all the elements in the Second Amendment: to form militia groups, to be armed and to use those arms, and to defend their security by force.
III. Application to today's situation
The Second Amendment is based squarely on God's Word.
God has used his people armed to accomplish his will. He has given personal blessing on his people forming armed and trained militia groups to accomplish his will. He has personally blessed his heavily armed people using their weapons to defend themselves.
What, then, should we make of efforts today to disarm us? Obviously, it is contrary to God's Word.
Those who are disarming us can be easily compared to the evil people in the 3 examples above: the evil kings would have disarmed Abram if they could have, so he couldn't have stopped them from plundering; the enemies of Nehemiah would have disarmed them so they could have stopped them from rebuilding the walls; Haman and those who wanted to kill the Jews would have disarmed the Jews so they could have slaughtered them all.
We can conclude that disarmament, gun control, and present efforts to ignore or rescind the Second Amendment are contrary to God's Word, and are the work of evil doers bent on destroying God's people, stopping God's work, and accomplishing other evils.
Let's stand together to protect and restore the blessings God has given to us as Christians and as a nation, including the Second Amendment.

The Bible and Gun Control
Finally, a book on the subject!
by John S. Winter

Hello!
I have written a book entitled "The Bible and Gun Control." This book proves gun ownership is a Biblical, God-given right. For example, Christ encourages his disciples to sell a coat and "buy a sword" for self defense. (See Luke 22:35-38.) The Book's purpose is to educate evangelicals on their Biblical right and responsibility of self defense against criminals and tyrannical governments. The American Revolution also speaks to this issue. Without the free access to personal weapons there could have been no revolution. This war was fought mainly by Christians and their pastors. George Washington said,
"Call this war by whatever name you may only call it not an American rebellion, it is nothing more or less than a Scotch-Irish-Presbyterian rebellion."
The pastor's involvement is revealed by an extensive quote (p. 46-48) proving ministers went into their pulpits with their guns and urged their congregations to go to war. The Bible and the American Revolution both speak against gun control. If you are an evangelical or know of one, this is a book you must read. Christians need to know the Biblical and historical facts on their right to self defense, so they will be conscience-bound to become involved in the fight against gun control. This book is useful and interesting for both Christian and non-Christian alike. It is a must for every patriot.

The Bible and Gun Control proves that gun ownership for the purpose of self-defense against criminals and tyrannical governments is a God-given right. The purpose of the book is to educate media-brainwashed people on this Biblical right.
To do this I examine Romans 13, “Render unto Caesar...”, Genesis 14 where Abraham forms a militia to rescue Lot and receives the blessing of Melchizedek. Then Hebrews 7, this episode is repeated and God made it part of the New Testament age. There are many other passages in the Bible and they all support our right to self-defense.
The American Revolution also speaks to the right of self-defense. Without the free access to personal weapons, there could have been no revolution. It is evident that mainly Christians and their pastors fought this war. I include a fascinating two-page quote about Colonial pastors going into their pulpits with their guns and organizing their congregations into militias. One contemporary of George Washington said,
"Call this war by whatever name you may, only call it not an American rebellion, it is nothing more or less than a Scotch-Irish Presbyterian Rebellion".
Most American Christians are unaware of the extensive Christian involvement in that war and that the Bible is 100% behind it. It was literally a Christian revolution, the fruit of the Great Awakening under George Whitefield and Jonathon Edwards.
In fact, it is no exaggeration to say, “God wrote the Second Amendment.”
This book is useful for and interesting to both Christian and non-Christian alike, a must for every patriot. One website—Keep and Bear Arms.com—said,
“The Bible and Gun Control—finally, a book on this subject. May every pastor, preacher, biblical scholar, and Christian far and wide read this book.”
