I have some brief news for you.
Many have questioned me in the past days about so many questions, questions about
many questions.
And it's almost impossible to not only answer in the time that we have here in
the forest, but it's even impossible to answer through the time that I am given to
bring God's message.
I would like, and from the deepest of my heart, I would like to answer every
question and make out of every question the message of every evening.
But you see, the problem is that I was commissioned to bring this message.
And I will not be able to bring the message that I have to bring to you if I
were to make up every message the answer to your question.
Then I advise you to do something.
I already did it individually, but I'm going to generally speak to all of
you to refer you to our address in California.
You can obtain my address from every part of the cities of Alberto.
It's there.
It is a night journey from Rome.
And then you can write to us and we will supply you with a brief update.
There are hundreds and hundreds upon hundreds of them on every subject that you
have questions and above them.
Then that will be the best.
You will have even more than the answer.
You'll have the details that involve the questions and the answer.
You have plenty to request.
There are videos.
Some of them they go from two hours to six hours.
Then there are complete series of them.
Then you get this.
I will even recommend you to request the videos or cassette tapes on a prophetical
series about AIDS.
It's a prophetical plague of the Roman Catholic institution in our days.
You would like to have this in order to deal with the issue that is a very,
very heavy one and will be one of the heaviest ones in the future.
We've been told that by the year 2008 will be in such a magnitude that over a hundred
millions of people will already contract AIDS.
That is the very conservative statistic that is already coming out of the World
Health Organization.
Then you must be interested in knowing this and many other issues.
But again, I refer you to write to us.
Request.
They'll send you a partial list of these tapes and videotapes.
And we would like to have all this material in books.
But you are to pray to the Lord to give us the monies to go to press with this
material.
Precisely.
Most of these tapes are the trans of the manuscripts that were ready for
publication books.
And now I'm transporting them into cassette tapes.
Then you are doing a good thing for yourself, for your relatives and for your
friends to reach for this material.
Now, something that you may like to write about is to get a copy of our publication.
Get a copy of our publication that, as the Lord provides the funds,
we will always publish.
Either monthly, bi-monthly, sometimes three times a year, or almost ten,
or five, or seven on a regular basis.
At least once a year they'll go out.
Then reach for it and help us and help the local church to reach the Roman Catholic
people for the Lord Jesus Christ.
Then as witness unto Christ, this is something that is the work and the
blessing of every one of you as a believer, as a Christian.
I refer you in these past nights to a particular book here that I would like to
emphasize this evening before we go into the message of this evening.
And this is Night Journey from Rome to the New Jerusalem.
And last night some people questioned about besides what the Lord has given
Brother Hunter and the other men of God to work with in this booklet.
Here you have a very dramatic, powerful testimony of one of the many
priests that the Lord has granted us.
And before his departure to be with the Lord, he left this legacy in my hands.
The Vatican knew not that this manuscript was in my hands when he was murdered by
the Jesuits in Detroit, Michigan.
They ignored that the manuscript was already in my hands.
Now you must reach for this book.
Pass it on to Roman Catholics.
You believe that this is too strong at the beginning?
Get this and then later this.
Make a balance.
We are not tricking no one.
We are just helping them to understand better.
That is all.
Now, yesterday evening you hear the prophetical message on the papacy,
or let us put it as the title of the message was, the signs of the coming of
our Lord Jesus Christ.
These signs.
Tonight we shall speak about, as part of my own testimony related to these very
experiences and the return of our Lord Jesus Christ, we will speak in plural
these signs of the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
And then you will understand better why we have to do, I say we have to do,
such a difference.
First these signs, second these signs in plural.
Now I recommend you again speaking about singular and plural.
My son Albertito sometimes said that sometimes people, Papi, he said,
there is sometimes they do not understand you between singular and plural.
You have to make a strong sign.
I cannot do it all.
Then I advise you to obtain the cassette that you hear closer.
The signs of my coming.
Two of these signs are very relevant today, more than ever before.
As a matter of fact, the papacy has become more relevant today than in 1,600 years of
history.
If you were not aware, you can even read statistics about that.
As a matter of fact, you can do briefly, strong study, even Catholics will agree
with me.
They may disagree and many other things, but they will agree with me in this,
that the Pope never has become more attractive even to Catholics, even to
yourself as a Catholic.
No Pope ever become more attractive to you as a Roman Catholic than the present Pope,
especially after Pius XII.
Why?
After Pius XII, beginning with John XXIII.
Why that difference in all the history of the Pope?
Why that difference suddenly, a very charismatic difference, a tremendous
interruption in the lines of the papacy suddenly after Pius XII?
Well, I wish you could have the time to go into the details as there is tremendous
revelations about why.
And there are these tapes available to you if you care to write.
But here we are.
Since the papacy has become more relevant than never before, that means that two
other things along with the papacy has become more relevant than never before.
The Popes were so disappointed in certain points, especially in the Middle Ages,
beginning with what was left from the Roman Empire and then coming into the
Middle Ages, Popes were so hated by Catholics, not Protestants, by Catholics,
that you better do some research in your own history books.
The authors are not Protestants either.
Catholic authors will reflect, will tell you, will write as they keep
writing about how much disappointed Catholic people were against the papacy
and against the Pope that even kings and emperors, they were Roman Catholics,
no one or two, many of them, through a lack of time of, I will say, more than 900
years, they fought even the Pope with their own armies.
And they were Catholics, they were not Protestants kings.
As a matter of fact, the Pope has been very lucky because no Protestant king ever
attacked him.
But the Catholics didn't.
Now you have to see this with clarity and honesty.
You have to see and not just to read it and just remember, but you have to
understand why these things happen.
That there was a struggle and has been a struggle within Roman Catholicism itself,
nor outside, against the papacy, against the Pope of Rome, even until this
very day.
What is happening?
If even Catholics and their own positions have so much trouble, and I will say this
much, that this is why some people said, well, Catholicism in Spain is not the same
than here.
I hear this in the United States all the time.
They say, oh, you are talking about Catholicism in Spain.
I say, no, I'm talking about Catholicism here.
But you don't know Catholicism here.
You have to know Catholicism, because Catholicism is the same everywhere.
Now, the difference is that they change like the chameleon with the weather.
But the system is the same.
The teachings are the same.
But the behavior changes.
Don't be tricked.
Now, be alert.
Be on guard.
You yourself, as a Catholic, should be alert.
Then what we want to call your attention is the fact that the papacy, with all this
rejection, with all this opposition, with all this struggle within,
nor outside, within, has gone through 1,600 years.
Even today, Jesuits raise up within the Jesuit order and said, we disagree with
you.
And something must be known about the Pope and about the papacy.
Why?
This figure, this person, this office is becoming more relevant than never before,
more attractive, more welcome.
And now, not only by Catholics, after all such experiences, but now even
by evangelicals, Protestants, and Pentecostals, by Brahmans, by Buddhists,
by Muslims, by witches,
Masons, Jews, they have now embraced each other and kissed each other.
Don't you see?
I'm not asking you whether you have read.
You have to see.
The Book of Revelation has this clue word to our entire prophetical revelation.
Come and see.
You see, we are no longer in time just to read and to hear.
We are in time that we must see.
Come and see.
Two more things, along with the relevance of the papacy and the books of Rome,
are the Roman Catholic Mass.
As a matter of fact, when the papacy become more relevant, more attractive,
more welcome, automatically the others too follow.
The Roman Catholic Mass has become more relevant, more attractive, what I'm
saying, more attractive.
And the Roman Catholic priesthood, more attractive than never before in
history.
The priests of Rome were even difficult to be found in the streets, much less even in
the homes of a Roman Catholic family.
Today, it used to be the question, where are the priests?
Even the Catholics would ask, where is my priest?
Today, you've got priests even in the Protestant pulpits of Protestant churches.
Ministerial alliances, ministerial alliances, members of them.
Today, the question is not, where is the priest?
Where is not?
Where is not a priest?
They are even in your street, striking against even the government.
I mean, a strike, a strike against government, publicly.
What they did, that doesn't mean they never did that.
They did always on the ground.
They do it now publicly.
Behavior is changing.
The system is being always the same.
Their ambitions always will be the same, because their teachers are the same and
will be the same.
Come with me to chapter 24 of the Gospel of Matthew.
Will you please stand with me and let us read God's Word.
Chapter 24 of the Gospel of Matthew.
We shall read God's Word from verse 24.
Pardon me.
I think we will make it briefly here, rather than reading.
I commend you to read from verse 6 to 22 at home.
I should tell you that last night.
I think some of you already did it.
But you should read from verse 6 to 22, and then you will understand and receive
greater blessings.
Listen, 23 and 24.
Then, this is why I said you must read, because that particular word in English we
have, then.
Now, verse 5 ended.
If you see, this is how verse 5 ended.
For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ, and shall deceive
many.
And then the beginning of the sign.
A start.
But in between, suddenly, between verse 6 and 22, suddenly, the prophecies of our
Lord Jesus Christ take a direction.
A direction that reverse all these other signs back into the prophecy.
And look at how, elated, elated with these two signs.
Then, if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there, believe it
not, for there shall arise false Christs and false prophets, and shall shew great
signs and wonders, and so much that, if it were possible, they shall deceive
the very elect.
You may be seated.
Listen,
the Roman Catholic mass has become more relevant than ever before.
Who makes that possible?
The priests?
The local priests?
The bishops?
Any particular Roman Catholic clergyman in any particular country?
The Gagahamat Catholicism?
It isn't any particular?
No.
There is only one man that has done that possible.
And not all the priests of Rome in the world, not all the bishops, not all the
cardinals, not all the Roman Catholic militant organizations, including the
Knights of Colombo, could make the mass more relevant than the Pope himself.
And few years from John XXI, coming to John Paul II, the mass has become what
either, even, even from the beginning, never was, and throughout the years,
never become.
Why?
So attractive it has become that not only Roman Catholics now, during the renewal,
are saying now, that the renewal has caused them, listen to this, to depart
from the mass, to go less to the mass.
On the contrary, the statistics agree that in everywhere, the international
charismatic renewal has proclaimed on the top of their games that Roman Catholics
are attending more often to mass today than never before.
Now what is this?
After the Second World War, you can hardly find people attending mass.
In Europe, priests, even on Sunday, they were the special day of the mass,
officially, for the matter of being recognized that you at least once a year
partake of the mass.
Then, or on a holiday, you will always find that was Sunday or holidays,
liturgical holidays, not national holidays, liturgical holidays,
according to the Roman Catholic liturgical calendar.
These are only the official holidays where the clergy will recognize that you already
partake of the mass, and if you did it once a year, you can die according to the
Roman Catholic teaching and grace.
But, you see, the point here is that regardless of that fear, and I said fear,
I told Dr. King today, we were referring to that especially in our outing today,
by the way, you have a beautiful city here, I fall in love with already,
and it's pitiful, it's sad that such beautiful things are being up,
speaking in prophecy, for tremendous destruction, tremendous destruction.
When these things are coming to an end, there is what is becoming more relevant,
what precisely are becoming the causes of that accelerated destruction that is
coming.
And the mass is one of those things, one of those causes of destruction.
Always was, is, and will be.
Becoming more relevant, well, more destruction of hands.
I told Brother King that there is no one single Roman Catholic teaching that is not
based upon fear.
They all are based upon fear.
You don't partake of the sacraments at least once a year, then you are in
trouble.
The priest may even refuse to give you the last rite.
But that means that after you have worked out your own salvation, with the help of
the priest, the candles, the rosaries, the sacraments, the virgins, the saints,
after all this work out of your salvation has taken place for perhaps five,
fifty, to forty, to seventy years, still that a priest can come along,
you have failed to fulfill certain rites, certain duties as Catholic, and tell you
I'm not here to give you the last sacraments because you did this or you did
that or whatever.
What that means is, you have lost everything you did.
It happened like a balloon.
You fulfill nine commandments, you break one, you're lost.
Only the time.
You lose your life.
And Roman Catholic teaching, that is the dependency.
At the last minute you cannot solve your problems.
You better make sure of that.
The priest will be there at the door and see what he can do about it.
But even when he gives you the last sacrament, if you were eligible,
candidate to have it, then still the purgatory coming after.
And you did it well, and still there is not good enough.
Testimonies of that we have here by Catholics coming during this past night,
and complete rejection of the gospel of Christ.
We have witness of this of Christ, tremendous of Christ, not against me or
against this church or against anyone else, but against Christ and his gospel.
They have preferred to decide to live and die as Roman Catholics according to
Catholic tradition, rather than placing their trust in the words of Jesus Christ.
Someone said that if the Bible proves, this Bible or the Catholic Bible for that
matter, proves that according to their tradition there is something wrong,
they stay with the tradition and reject the Bible.
And you know what I'm talking about.
You know it well.
Don't defraud yourself.
Fear is doing that.
I said fear.
Not love, not trust in Christ, but fear.
And that is not fear of God, it's fear of the devil himself.
When you fear, religiously speaking, and you go rather than coming close to
Christ, you go farther away from him, it's not Christ, it's the devil himself.
When you are invited to come to Christ, you are not invited to commit heresy,
are you?
How come?
When you are invited to believe the scriptures, you are not invited to deny
God, to become a communist, to become a Nazi, you are invited to be saved,
to become a Christian.
You are invited to be redeemed from what the priests have been unable to redeem you
for more than 40, 50, 70, or 100 years.
But you have decided to go against it.
Why?
Because love, because trust, because truth, because fear.
The mouth is becoming more relevant because fear again.
And not fear of God.
Again, fear of the devil, fear of people, fear of being seen without any mechanical
behavior, religious behavior, that could tell you that you really love Christ,
that you really believe in Christ.
Because there, the priest is coming through magic to offer you the flesh,
the soul, the blood, and the nature of Jesus Christ in a peaceful way.
As a human, you have that tendency with you.
But Jesus Christ wants to get rid of that tendency once he makes you a new person.
You will behave on love, on truth, no longer on fear and in deceit.
The mouth is one of the greatest deceits, I would say, within Roman Catholic
teaching, is the greatest deceit of all Roman Catholic teaching.
John Knox, the Presbyterian, will speak about the mouth, being a former Roman
Catholic priest, as you see throughout history, the greatest preacher has become,
and the greatest reformer they all were, mostly Roman Catholic priests.
Reformers not only, but born again.
And John Knox will say about the mouth, this is a blasphemy.
He wrote a lot about the Roman Catholic mouth after he became a Christian.
But he said that he could keep writing thousand pages and books, and the only
explanation, a clear, on the biblical teaching will be, is a blasphemy,
not just heresy.
Today, I will say this to you, since the mouth is becoming more relevant,
I will tell you this, and that should serve you even as a warning, that the
mouth is the greatest, I said the greatest blasphemy.
It's not just a blasphemy, it's the greatest blasphemy.
Do you want to hear why I could go that far?
Let me give you some pieces of illustration of contemporary history,
not of what Catholics said about the mass today, or how they feel about the mass
today, but what even Pentecostals, even with Pentecostals, they will say
today, and the highest rank of the Pentecostal denominational movement.
This is one, for instance, Paul and Jane Crouch, and I'll give you names,
Paul and Jane Crouch, one of the greatest so-called ministries in the world,
including Australia, and Pentecostal ministry through television.
This is called Trinity Broadcasting System, TPN, or network.
Your TPN here in Australia has already proclaimed all over the world that he,
his wife, Mr. Paul Jane and his wife, they both have realized, after they have
attended a Roman Catholic mass, that this was one of the greatest glorious
experiences that they had.
And Arthur Blessed, one of their associates, will go forward and say,
do you know what happened to me while I was in Belgium, partaking of my first
Roman Catholic mass there?
The priest, the Roman Catholic priest, that was in a charismatic concentration
where a cardinal swinging was, and cardinal swinging happened to be the
leader of the international charismatic renewal, a cardinal appointed by the Pope.
And when all these great international people from all denominations were there,
and this big mass in Belgium, this priest, he said, was coming with the horse around
all the Catholics, and there he was among the Catholics.
He believed to be a Pentecostal.
Then, immediately, he was coming close to him with the patena, his assistant,
and he was killing the horse.
Immediately, the priest was about to go over him, and he approached the priest and
grabbed, saying within himself, don't let me, I am one of yours.
I need the Lord too.
And he took the horse.
Now, just a point of illustration, you will understand better the prophecy
now has been fulfilled.
Listen.
Verse 23, Barabbas, in your Bible, in your New Testament, chapter 24 of the
Gospel of Matthew, verse 23.
Then, now you understand the implication of these terms.
Then, what that means from verse 6 to 22, tremendous calamities in the world have
not only happened, but are still happening.
Tremendous calamities.
Deceit, war, plagues, famine, earthquakes, until not too long ago.
Tremendous.
But the prophecy, the Lord Jesus Christ prophesies saying, then, in the midst of
all these things, rather than these manifestations of heresy and blasphemy
decreasing in the midst of all these calamities, this blasphemy, this greater
blasphemy will, will increase.
How?
Then it is mentioned to you, Lord, here is Christ.
An earthquake in Mexico not too long ago brought more Roman Catholics to the mass
than never before in the history of their nation.
People were being cornered only into the Roman Catholic Parish.
Priests went out in the midst of earthquakes, out in every park,
in every place, to celebrate mass for millions of people in the streets.
Then it is said unto you, Lord, here is Christ.
I want you to underline the word here, or there, and the word there.
This is not just to be read as a utopia or something mystical, but something
physical.
The Lord Jesus is talking about something physical.
As he spoke about the incarnation, incarnation of the Antichrist,
and the Pope professing to be Christ on earth, that is, that was the incarnation
that we have spoken yesterday.
But here, the Lord Jesus Christ is speaking to us about the materialization
of Christ.
And the devil goes so far that he wants to do something that he was not able to do
with the person of Christ himself.
He wants to kill him.
He wants to destroy him.
He could not do it, not at his birth, nor during his life and ministry,
not on the cross, not in the tomb, because he raised.
And as he risen, the devil keeps trying to destroy even the very image and memory of
the Lord Jesus Christ.
How?
By denying him?
Not quite.
By imitating him, by incarnating him, by materializing him.
What that means is, there is a materialization of Christ, and the Pope,
the incarnation, and the host, the materialization of Jesus Christ.
Everything in Roman Catholic teaching goes in that direction.
Tangible, material.
You need the crucifix, because that reminds you to Christ.
And to put it in logic, as I used to do as a Jesuit priest, to explain why we do have
images, why we do have idols, in order to excuse and cover up the idolatry,
the horrific, horrifying idolatry, in which 800 millions of Roman Catholics
are 24 hours around the clock, soldiers in bondage.
To justify that dramatic and dreadful experience, religious experience,
of every other Roman Catholic, including yourself.
You said, I have that stamp of the Virgin, I have that medal, I have that crucifix,
I have all this, just to remember.
What a tricky, satanic way to deceive you.
Because the Ten Commandments, that shamefully and painfully has been taken
away, the Second Commandment, out of every caricismo, if you were not aware of that.
The Second Commandment has been completely, fully taken out from the Ten
Commandments that you read in every Roman Catholic caricismo.
And from the First Commandment, they have worked out Two Commandments.
Why?
Because it's clear that the Holy Spirit has decreed to Moses, not only not to
worship images, not only not to have them, but not only to have them, but not to
make.
And from making, not to have it, and not to worship, you have all three
there.
While you try to excuse, that is this just to remember.
As a Jesuit, I said, don't you have a picture of your mother?
You see, if my mother died, I would say, as a Jesuit priest, then I have a picture
of her, I take her picture, and every time that I see her in the picture,
reminds me to my mother.
The third part is that when this can be truth, the other is a big deceit,
and you even use the truth to deceive with lie.
Because you don't have no real, one single real picture, not of Christ,
not of Mary, not of Peter, not of Paul, of no one.
Listen to this.
I was in my last Mass performed in Barcelona, Spain, Russia, and while I was
performing that last Mass, before I came to know the Lord Jesus Christ as my
personal Lord and Savior, I did something.
I went to the auditorium where all the students of the school that I was the
director, you can see in every page, as part of the documentations,
there's no one there to talk about.
They talk about Alberto, they slander, they're accused, but they never touch
these documents.
Here is a picture of some of the schools that I was in.
Now listen to this.
And that was the last school that I was director of.
While I was there to bring to the last final test in the school year,
they have what I call the Mass of Farewell.
But that means the school ended, the school year ended, and the students
will have this Mass of Farewell from the school.
We have that Mass ready to go, when immediately were the days of going to
the most critical times in my life, under a providential act of love of God
himself.
I stopped to do something that I never did in my entire life as a priest.
No priest I think that ever did.
And I went to the altar, and there were left pieces of the horse of the Mass of
Concelebration.
And without already going into the offertory of the Mass, I went to the
chalice.
I took the chalice out, and everybody, of course Tomari and his, the teaching to
do it.
Everybody make their crucifixions and the sign of the cross, kneel of course.
I was coming with the chalice, and the horse was there already after the
consecration.
But that means what the people were saying there, that because their behavior,
their attitude, you as a Catholic, when you see that what is called the Holy
of Holies is exposed, what do you do?
What do you do as a Catholic when you walk into the temple?
Just walk by?
Has anything happened?
No.
You walk, if you happen to cross from one area to another, before the Holy of
Holies, you are to kneel and make the sign of the cross, and recognition that there
is who?
What?
No.
Who?
You see the difference?
You have gone through that experience, and you know the difference when it's not,
and when it is.
Now immediately after I brought the chalice, I asked this question.
I said to all these embodied there, and I said, who is here?
And everybody said, the land of God, the body of Jesus Christ.
Christ.
God.
That is what you worship.
There is even within liturgical calendar one special day to worship the host.
Now what is this?
If even the most, the smallest children that were there, they all knew the answer
to my question.
Who?
I don't say, what is here?
What I have here?
I said, who is here?
They knew the answer.
They knew there was a person, not a piece of bread, not a piece of wheat.
Then I brought the chalice back, and I poured it, and I locked it.
See, even the priest acknowledged that difference.
You know why?
Because there is a key to lock the body in.
And when it's not there, and it's in the box, in the sacristy, you have a safety
box.
A safety box that only the priest has access
to.
Now you're going to tell me, I'm trying to dramatize, even to you as a Catholic,
to remind you of what you read.
They're not talking.
Now, that he is aware that he's lacking what?
A piece of wafer again?
After the consecration, what is lacking there?
Well, he's lacking, he provided that he could.
He's lacking a piece of Christ, and flesh, blood, soul, and nature.
That is the consul of Trinity, consul of Trinity, Cleanse 1600,
for example.
Believe it or not, the same consul approved and ratified by the Vatican
Consul II, the author of the Charismatic Renewal, ratified the Ten Decrees today,
not yesterday.
This is the body, is the flesh to be specific, the flesh, the soul,
the blood, and the nature of Christ.
I want for you to come back to the Gospels, to these prophecies of our Lord
Jesus Christ, and read well, well, verse 23.
That is the way that I was convicted, and I was led into the truth.
Listen, I have many opinions about the Mass.
I myself, as a Roman Catholic priest, have even my doubts as a priest,
not as a professor, as a priest, doubts that every priest has, even that
they do not communicate, they do have it.
They debate among themselves, they discuss it, they are still learning more,
and the more that they learn, they still believe this to be a reality.
But there I was, and what I was to tell you, what you are able to do, and testify
about the Mass, and tell someone about the Mass.
Listen, I received a letter from Jimmy Schwabart some time ago, and he said that
he felt obligated to do something that he never did before, as a matter of fact,
these testimonies were forbidden in his ministry.
That happened about four years ago, the last news that we had.
Consulars, some of them, they were not aware that they were doing as they told
them they were doing wrong.
They began to use it, to consult with Roman Catholics and the telephones after
they called, and they were sending to the mail the testimonies.
When the head of the consular find out, some of them they were expelled,
because they were said, we are sending this out, Roman Catholics are being taken
to the river, and they are testifying of the power of Jesus Christ.
Listen, then they were forbidden, and after that, three years after we have
this bad news, we received this letter coming from Jimmy Schwabart's ministry,
saying that they, that Mr. Schwabart felt inclined and obligated for reasons of
continence, that he was obligated to tell the Catholics for the first time the truth
about the Roman Catholic Mass.
And he said that he was asking our help to get some insight about the Mass,
to make an article on the Mass, and he did.
He published in his magazine, official magazine, the Evangel, then immediately,
the Evangel or the Evangelist, something like that, they published the
article.
The response was overwhelming.
They brought us back.
Nevertheless, the negative reactions were overwhelming too.
He already got rid of the charismatics there.
Tremendous portion of them.
Then immediately, he said, I feel more obligated now I said, what is this?
He said, more obligated to request from you to pray for what I'm doing,
and this ministry is doing, to evangelize the Roman Catholic people.
I beg you to pray that Roman Catholics may be free from this devilish system.
We have this letter.
Because we have noticed a lot of inconsistency, up one day, down the next
day.
Then we keep the letter.
Then immediately, he said, I'm going forward to do something about the Mass.
And I will publish a major publication, and I need more help from you.
I'm requesting that you allow us, since we've been reading your
publications, and you have given more about the Mass in one of your publications
than any other, we want you to give us permission to use that material.
And that was precisely the chapter on the Roman Catholic Mass and my journey from
Rome to the New Jerusalem.
It's a full chapter here.
And his major book now, the title is Catholicism and Christianity.
Now, there was a difference than never before, what was spelled out well.
But now, there was the title of the very book called Catholicism and Christianity.
We grant permission for the use of that material with certain requirements and
conditions that were met, among others, that he will not go into the tongues
business and that publication.
And he accomplished that.
You could obtain the publication to certify what has been said, and to help
others, Catholics not only, but other Pentecostals to realize the danger that
they themselves are in next to Catholicism.
Listen to this.
You have underlined two words, here or there.
When I ask this audience, who is here, they all answer, Christ, the Lamb of God,
God.
And when I place that back and I look at it, I ask, who is there?
Read again.
Who is there?
They all answer, Christ, the Lamb of God.
And they make the sign of the cross and bow towards it.
Now, you may disagree yourself in saying that once you now are renewed,
that you don't believe that way.
Oh, that is your problem.
You thought that you have a solution, but you have another problem.
Because according to Catholic teachings, you said that you don't believe that way.
You are not a Christian, according to the Bible, being a Roman Catholic,
even that you despair about these blasphemies, these heresies.
And at the same time, you are not a Catholic, according to Catholic teaching.
Who are you then?
You are placing yourself right there.
Thousands and millions are placing themselves right now there.
You said, I disagree.
Well, if you disagree, the inquisition is working on their ground right now,
but they'll come up later.
They'll call you.
They'll pay a visit to you.
John Paul II has re-established, I said re-established, what is called the
local party tribunal, and are working in Australia right now.
What is this?
After the inquisition, they said we'll cease.
Of course, the inquisition never ceased.
That has never been true.
Because the Holy Office, there is still, and the Vatican, under the name of the
Central Congregation for the Preservation of the Faith, they changed the name.
They're still working and operating 365 days per year, 24 hours around the clock,
as the Holy Office and the Vatican, they're still at work.
Under that department, every local tribunal, tribunal, has been
re-established and re-enacted after three or so times.
Now, John Paul II has given a decree to reopen the function of this tribunal.
Now, what do you think is the meaning of that?
The prophecy is being fulfilled.
Then if any man shall say unto you, look, here is Christ, or there,
what you shall do?
To believe it?
You see, on this same prophecy, traditionally speaking, they've been
telling you, here, you see this man saying Christ here, Christ there.
But you see, you never have a manifestation of this prophetical reality
that is dramatic, displayed in the ceremony of the Mass.
Never.
Dematerialization of Christ.
But now you have the personification of Christ.
Three, the incarnation, the materialization, and now, verse 24,
the personification of Christ.
Now, notice the difference here and the terminology according to this definition.
Look at why.
For there, and listen to this particular word, for there, after the text before.
For, there shall arise both cross Christ.
In other words, why these two verses here, they could not be placed among other
prophetical signs?
Why they will not be separated?
Why not?
The relevance of the Mass come along with the relevance of the priesthood.
You know why?
Because the Mass and the priesthood are indivisible.
No priest, no Mass.
No Mass, no priest.
Have you been in some remote region of Australia as a Roman Catholic,
where there is not a resident priest, but there is a little Roman Catholic
chapel where the priest will come maybe once a year?
What happens during one year?
Who is taking Mass?
Who is performing Mass?
Nobody.
No one.
Nevertheless, you go to pray the Rosary there.
You go to partake of every other thing, including baptism of infants.
But there is no priest, no Mass.
Come again.
You see, there is no coincidence here.
It is again prophecy being fulfilled.
For there shall arise both cross.
Now, the word arise underlines false Christ.
What arise?
What happens?
False Christ is the meaning of this prophecy has been always working.
Even John already will point out that even yesterday, John and 1 John chapter 2 verse
18 read on.
He said, already, not tomorrow, already there are Antichrists among us.
It means that something becomes more relevant than never before.
And because they become more relevant than ever before, arise.
They were there.
That means they don't set.
They come out.
They just flourish.
They are born now.
As mythology is given about so many Antichrists all around, of all kinds,
Antichrists, witchers, Antichrist nations, Antichrist communists, Antichrist Muslims,
Antichrist of all kinds.
But here is a prophecy that tell us that we're already there, but now they arise.
They always been there, but then arise.
Has the Mass become more relevant?
Who is becoming more relevant?
Who?
The Catholic people?
Not even the bishops?
The priests?
They are the ones that daily perform the tasks, of course, along with the bishops,
but they are the ones that are in the public.
From the Pope to all the heretics, the Mass is becoming more and more
relevant, including in Pope's visits to every country.
You hear this.
Mass has been televised almost to every other country in the world that never
happened before and sent you.
Be a satellite now and everywhere.
And people are watching the Mass, not only Catholics, but I have come to
know, and they have come to me, and sent some people from different walks
of life and different beliefs.
I watched the Mass and I really liked it.
That was impressive, very impressive.
Oh, very ceremonial.
I felt like a God was there.
You see now, it's becoming more relevant, not just for Roman Catholics.
Remember this.
But the priests are becoming more relevant, because again, now, used to be
the question, where they are?
Oh, for a Roman Catholic family, a child was to die and he was not
baptized.
Under fear, their parents were going, their godfather were going, even miles and
miles and miles, and they could not bring the child to the Roman Catholic Parish,
and no one was there to baptize, or no one will care, or will do it.
They were afraid to do it, even when they were commissioned to do it.
They were trying to look for a priest, miles away.
Someone was dying.
He needs the last rites.
Someone needs the Mass.
And these things always happen.
And the priest, even when he was close and nearby, if he was too much of the trouble,
he needs a check before he arrives.
He needs a good check before he walks, or even before he dies.
This is not the first time.
It's not the last one either.
Or a call comes, two o'clock in the morning, two o'clock, my father is dying,
his father, says, it's all right, let him die in peace.
I'm going to get out of bed now if you call him.
But whether they are not now, oh, you got a priest, any second that you want
it, I said, you'll have it.
And even more polite than never before, with a great deal of psychological doses
than never before, you got it then right there at any given time that you request
it.
You have to be a Catholic?
No, on the contrary.
If you are a Protestant and you call for him, he is there right away.
He will not curse you.
He will tell you, wait, separated brethren.
Wait, my brother.
Don't die without me.
Let me give you a point of illustration, a very dramatic one.
This is no doubt that we have that opportunity.
You may not understand that, but we have that opportunity, that privilege,
that we can smile, that we can even laugh.
Of the life of people in bondage, but of the mockery that Satan is still
doing of their soul.
Listen to this.
I was in Spain and we were called, but there was a Protestant dying.
And the neighbor, there were nine of Columbus, they called the parish and they
said, there is a Protestant.
The Protestant next to us, the neighbor, is dying.
In Spain, many things were forbidden about Protestants.
Among others, they could not bury their dead and no cemeteries.
I don't know what they did with their bodies because they were not allowed not
Catholic cemeteries and no municipal cemeteries because even the municipal
cemeteries were under the order of the priest.
Then there was a tragedy.
I feel it until this very day because I knew many of them.
I knew many of them.
I myself denied that.
I denied life and I denied death.
And those occasions, Ken and many others, he said, they told us that there was that
Protestant dying, that heretic, that devil was dying.
And the Catholics said, well, father, what you are going to do?
Are you going to let him die?
Listen, they will question me, are you going to let him die?
I said, well, if he is going to die, sometimes myself I was very much concerned
about my own friend.
I said, wait a minute, what is happening?
Father, you must come and get him, get him to confess and to recant before he
dies.
Oh, then I knew, I ran away, I knew because that already has happened.
Zermatt was already established that type of behavior, that no Protestant should be
left to die.
And every time that someone knew that some Protestant was to die, they should come
and immediately call the priest to stop him dying before he or she recants after
saying the release of Christ.
Listen to this.
I was there and with that was the police.
We brought the police with us.
And there the police just walk in before I did.
They do always that as a service to the Mother Church.
They walk in, they throw doors down, they don't even knock, they throw the
doors down.
And we were walking with their machine guns and pistols around every corner.
What is the heretic that's dying?
They were informed.
Finally, they were there.
They said they escorted me, I myself, I feared to go alone.
That was the truth, I feared to go alone.
That is how my conscience bears on to the day that I was set free by Christ,
the mark of this evil deed.
While I went across the bedroom, I took the man and they were singing
around him.
He was singing.
I remember the song was across the river.
Because I saw the man, I had seen more.
Because I saw that he was smiling, singing.
I said, what you are smiling for?
You're laughing at me.
You devil, you are laughing at me.
I said, shut up.
And I punched him.
He keeps singing.
He keeps smiling.
He keeps singing.
Lord forgive him.
I punched him again.
I do not fear my own blood.
I'm trusted in the blood of Christ.
As I grabbed him, I was to grab him by his neck and put my hands there.
I said, you devil, recant, recant.
We bring you here, Christ.
I brought everything to force him to take the horse.
I said, you stop right there, and you recant of those hands that you have
brought there.
In that moment, he said, Lord Jesus, forgive him.
Lord Jesus, I beg for him to repent.
Save him.
One of the prayers.
Save him.
He departed.
And I was so upset.
I shook him.
He was already gone.
I said, don't let me down.
You talk.
You recant.
Speak to me.
And I was so mad that they had to take me away, the same officers of the police
force that took me.
For there shall arise false Christ.
I was there under a bishop.
He put his hands upon my head, and my ordination according to the
sacrament of order.
With all the process of that liturgy, immediately, I was given two powers.
The power to forgive him, and the power to transubstantiate.
Now you have again, there is no question that any prophecies are going even in two
verses.
Two verses, one after the other.
The power to forgive him and transubstantiate.
What that means, after the consecration of the wafer, then become by that
consecration of the priest, the flesh, the soul, the blood, and the sanctity of
Christ.
That priest,
really that?
Do you believe it that he did it?
Did I ever believe it that I have?
That was a question.
And when already, he wants to tell me already, these powers are with you,
and to certify that these powers are with you, the bishop will go forward with every
priest that is to be ordained, including in every parish, in every
diocese, in every archdiocese.
In order to confirm, to ratify that that is true, that these two powers were
transmitted from the bishop to the priest.
He will then hold his hand and pronounce to us alter Christ.
Watch this, in the language of the antichrist, Latin.
He said, you are Christ?
No, you are another Christ.
Another Christ.
You see, to the pope in verse 5, chapter 24 of the gospel of Matthew,
the Lord Jesus Christ prophesied that many shall come in his name saying,
I am Christ.
And I told you last night, logically, grammatically, he should have said,
many shall come in my name saying, we are Christ.
But the Lord said, that among the men, each one of them will come out
individually, professing to be Christ.
You know, another Christ.
Vicarius Filius Dei is the first title that our cardinal appointed to be a pope
christian.
28 Vicarius Filius Dei.
You are the one, not one, the one again.
Specifically, the one that takes the place of the son of God.
It's a coincidence?
Well, it's too much coincidence.
I mean, too strong, too powerful coincidence.
That you will have to believe the coincidence.
For there shall arise forth Christ to rise before us.
Hebrew chapter 5, verse 5, right away as we conclude this evening in Hebrew.
I want for you to underline these teachings and these messages that you can
communicate to every other Roman Catholic priest.
As soon as possible, witness unto Christ to them they will someday appreciate that.
Chapter 5, verse 5.
So also Christ glorified not himself to be made on high priest, but he that said unto
him, thou art my son, today have I begotten thee.
As he said also in another place, thou art a priest forever according to the
order of Melchizedek, forever after the order of Melchizedek.
A prophecy being fulfilled in one single person.
Maybe more than 5,000 years
waiting, thousand years waiting, that prophecy given to Melchizedek and to
Abraham, waiting to be fulfilled.
And whom?
And the priests of whom?
You say, no, because they were not there before, but the priests came after Christ.
Well then, what's to be fulfilled in Christ?
It's not right.
That is what the word says.
This is what I hate and despise this book, among other parts of the scripture,
when I was not able to coordinate and relate to tradition.
And you could not do it.
I said you could not do it.
When I could not identify not only my profession as a Catholic, but I could not
identify my profession as a priest, the anointing of Christ.
Because there I was, not in his favor, not in his service, but contrary to that,
I was there for forcing him and taking the place of him.
And not to serve him, but to deprive millions of people of him.
Even when they were dying, if they call.
This is why I give you that instruction.
That far, that far.
You priests, you priests can do it and can go that far.
You yourself, you yourself, this is a time called for it.
As a Roman Catholic, you don't know.
To my part, you don't know when you will be saved.
You don't know it.
There is no guarantee.
There is no promise.
There is no assurance.
And all Roman Catholicism, regardless of this power, according to Catholicism,
transmitted all the way from Christ to Peter and from Peter, according to
tradition, to the rest of the Magisterium.
All this, and with all this, you have no one single casualtation that can give you
assurance or hope of salvation, except someday.
One day.
You don't know when.
Then, with all this power, how come that the priest himself don't know when he will
be saved?
How come I pass my night and I spend one year on the floor of my cell, retired from
the spiritual, confused about the spiritual, and I spend in a monastery one
year, laying down on the floor, and the marble, cold in winter,
six months of winter, until one lung completely destroyed.
To impenance for my soul, and to help obtain my salvation.
Why do you even give to the poor?
Why do you give to the poor?
Because the poor need it?
No, because your soul needs it.
What a tragedy.
Mother Teresa in Calcutta.
What a wonderful woman.
She's given her life for the poor.
No, she's not given her life for the poor.
She's given her life for her salvation.
Her salvation.
Desperate, desperate, fearful, sleepless in the night, thinking when,
when she's going to accumulate the amount of grain that her soul needs to be saved.
You better know the truth.
There is the right side of things.
So also Christ glorified not himself to be made on a high tree, but he that said unto
him, Thou art my son, today have I begotten thee, as he said in another
place, Thou art a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek.
What a wonderful promise.
You have a priest, not today, not tomorrow, not to the moment of your death.
You have a priest now forever in Christ.
In Christ.
Not in me, nor in the priest of your parish, but in Christ.
That he kept his own life in your place.
What a wonderful promise.
What you are still thinking about?
What you are thinking about?
How will you take a serious decision right now?
I mean a real serious, the most serious decision of your life.
Stand up with me as we go before the Lord in prayer, as we sing now, and we get
ready for the song.
I would like for every one of you to bow your head.
I want to make a special petition this evening.
I want for this church, for this assembly, for every believer, for every Christian,
to do a special intercession as the Holy Spirit and you pray with you.
Listen to this.
Christ already did it in the Garden of Gethsemane.
He said in chapter 17 of the Gospel of John, Father, not only I pray for those
who you have given to me, but I'm praying, Father, for those who shall believe in me
through their word.
The Lord Jesus Christ has prayed for you.
Even though you are not a Christian, that you are not a believer, that you have
no assurance of your salvation, that Christ so well offered you from the
time that he gave his life for you.
And the cross is still a prayer, is still a hand of your own desire.
And even before you feel the need of him yet, he felt the need of you already.
Listen.
He said, I pray for those who shall believe by their word.
You hear this evening that you have a high priest, and this is a perfect priest,
and this is a holy priest, and this is an eternal priest.
You come to him this evening.
You come to him quickly.
You open your heart as you do it right there as we all pray and have a pause for
prayer.
I want for you, believers and Christians, to pray for your Father, if your Father is
still a Roman Catholic right now.
I said right now, as a son, as a daughter, you now pray for your Father and for
salvation now.
As you have witnessed unto him of Jesus Christ, as the Lord and Savior,
you pray for him now.
You pray for your mother.
Pray for your mother that's still a Catholic.
Some people during this night, they've been telling me that their fathers
and mothers are 78 years old, some of them are 80 years old, 90 years old.
And they seem not to be bothered with that fact.
You better be bothered.
I mean bothered.
More than bothered, you better be concerned.
What they're going to do?
They're going to put you out of the house?
Are you going to let them to be put out of heaven?
Because they're going to put you out of their house?
Because they're going to reject you?
Are you going to wait that Jesus Christ himself will reject them?
You start praying for them now.
You start witnessing to them until the last minute that they walk on your body,
even if they walk over your body.
Even if you believe, sing the Lord, that they need salvation in Jesus Christ
and to Jesus Christ.
You pray for your husband, Christian wife.
You've got a lot of claims and a lot of complaints, but you better start praying
for him.
You Christian husband, you're about to divorce, even when you know that it's not
proper, not right, not scriptural to do it, but you are tempted to do it.
Begin to pray for your wife.
I said pray earnestly right now.
You ask directly, bless my wife.
No.
Lord God, save my wife, redeem her.
Lord God, save my father, my mother, my husband, my young children,
my young daughters.
Save them, my boys, relatives, grandfather, grandmother.
Keep praying.
Oh, you did have a lot to pray for.
Do it now.
But I'm going to ask you, the church, to pray for any person among us here right
now.
Nothing better and no more opportune than your prayer for anyone here that is not in
Christ.
I mean, you may see and may know and may be told that you believe in Christ,
but the truth is that you'll never have that privilege.
You'll never have that blessing.
You've been told about another Jesus.
Tonight you have heard about Jesus, the high priest, the only priest.
You come to trust in his promise and his office and his meditations before the end
with you.
He said he is the only meditator between God and yourself.
He has no delegate, no one else.
No one else.
You've been coming to somebody else, but Christ is still waiting for you to
come to him directly.
Will you do that this evening as we all pray for you?
Young men, young women, mothers and fathers, this is your great opportunity.
This is the day of salvation.
This is the time now.
I want for you to come forward as I come down from this plug of oil.
I want for you to work trusting the Lord Jesus Christ.
Don't do it in yourself and your own strength and your own opinions and
knowledge and traditions.
Do it in the name of Jesus Christ.
Walk out and come forward to receive Jesus Christ as your personal angel and Lord.
Jesus said, whosoever shall confess me among men, I shall confess them before my
Father who is in heaven.
Would you believe that?
Do you believe it?
Question yourself whether you believe it or not.
Don't let the devil get involved in this business that you saw with Christ.
Rebuke, rebuke and reuse him.
Now say, I believe, I believe what Jesus Christ said.
In order to manifest that I do believe, I'm going to walk out, I'm going to open
my heart, I'm going to open my mouth, I'm going to open my life and let him to
walk in and take possession of my soul, my body, my spirit.
I am all his.
You come forward as we go in this invitation to help, to assist you in the
way of the Lord.
Amen.
