WEBVTT 00:03.080 --> 00:04.740 Hi there, my name is Alan Lamont. 00:04.900 --> 00:07.860 I am bringing a message now about the mystery of Babylon the Great. 00:09.660 --> 00:11.640 And I am going to talk a lot from history. 00:11.820 --> 00:15.940 Now, I am going to expose the heresies of the Catholic Church really. 00:16.080 --> 00:21.740 Because in the time of Paul he talked about the mystery of iniquity that does already work. 00:21.800 --> 00:26.400 Of course he was talking about the Babylonian priesthood and religion of the Roman Empire. 00:26.400 --> 00:35.340 Now, let me go on to this message and explain really that the Protestant Reformation was a work of the 00:35.340 --> 00:35.960 Spirit of God. 00:36.760 --> 00:39.920 And the Protestant Reformation broke from the power of Rome. 00:40.140 --> 00:46.860 And they ended up resisting Rome but then exposing the Roman Empire as in the Catholic Papal Roman Empire 00:46.860 --> 00:48.640 as the seat of Antichrist. 00:48.840 --> 00:51.180 There was a book by a man named Jan Hus. 00:52.020 --> 00:55.780 He was a Bohemian Christian who preceded Martin Luther. 00:56.580 --> 01:02.000 By a full century and the book was entitled De Ecclesia the Church. 01:03.620 --> 01:09.560 And one of Hus' most profound points was proclaimed in the title of his fourth chapter, Christ the only 01:09.560 --> 01:10.320 head of the Church. 01:11.620 --> 01:19.020 If you go back into history you will find that the Reformers, they knew the scriptures and they knew the 01:19.020 --> 01:20.000 truth about the Vatican. 01:20.000 --> 01:27.820 And they were committed to exposing the fact that the papacy, the Catholic Church, was actually the seat 01:27.820 --> 01:29.320 and throne of Antichrist. 01:29.460 --> 01:34.620 This is what Hus wrote in his De Ecclesia called Christ is the only head of the Church. 01:35.380 --> 01:43.780 Hus wrote this quote, neither is the Pope the head nor are the Cardinals the whole body of the Holy 01:43.780 --> 01:45.180 Universal Catholic Church. 01:46.480 --> 01:49.580 For Christ alone is the head of that church. 01:50.220 --> 01:54.960 Hus pointed out that most church leaders in his era actually despised the Lordship of Christ. 01:55.060 --> 02:01.500 Hus said, to such a low pitch as the clergy come that they hate those who often preach and call Jesus 02:01.500 --> 02:02.220 Christ Lord. 02:02.880 --> 02:04.060 That's what the Vatican hates. 02:05.300 --> 02:09.160 When you preach that Jesus Christ is Lord, the Vatican hates that. 02:09.260 --> 02:09.980 What happened to Hus? 02:10.520 --> 02:11.460 It cost him his life. 02:11.880 --> 02:15.920 He was declared a heretic and burned at the stake in 1415. 02:15.920 --> 02:18.240 People say, well that was hundreds of years ago. 02:18.460 --> 02:19.340 No, no. 02:20.700 --> 02:21.900 The Vatican is still the same. 02:22.500 --> 02:27.780 It has never removed any of the curses against Christians that were proclaimed at the Council of Trent. 02:28.040 --> 02:29.280 That evil Council of Trent. 02:31.120 --> 02:33.940 They still proclaim us Protestants as heretics. 02:34.060 --> 02:34.860 That's the truth of it. 02:35.920 --> 02:40.400 We're not separated brethren that need to come under the fold and authority of the Pope. 02:40.780 --> 02:41.960 No, we are the true church. 02:42.280 --> 02:44.480 We are the one true church of Jesus Christ. 02:44.980 --> 02:50.320 If you're a Bible believing Christian, and you know Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour, you are a 02:50.320 --> 02:52.000 member of the body of Christ. 02:52.300 --> 02:52.880 The true church. 02:52.980 --> 02:56.580 Now we find the Pope in history putting to death the true church. 02:57.300 --> 02:57.700 Clearly. 02:58.220 --> 02:59.160 That's what happened to Hus. 02:59.700 --> 03:00.840 Why was he put to death? 03:00.900 --> 03:01.420 Because of this. 03:01.500 --> 03:02.280 He made this statement. 03:03.300 --> 03:05.140 That Christ alone is the head of the church. 03:05.220 --> 03:06.400 For that he was put to death. 03:06.880 --> 03:07.640 Think about this. 03:09.100 --> 03:16.740 He was declared a heretic and burned at the stake in 1415 for proclaiming that Jesus Christ alone is the 03:16.740 --> 03:17.300 head of the church. 03:17.440 --> 03:19.340 Isn't that what the Bible teaches? 03:21.780 --> 03:29.700 Also many more years later, we have a man who thundered against the papal establishment in the Holy See, 03:29.820 --> 03:30.280 Martin Luther. 03:34.180 --> 03:38.720 What happened with Martin Luther is he actually read this book by Hus, De Ecclesia. 03:39.200 --> 03:42.760 And after finishing the book, this is what Martin Luther wrote to a friend. 03:43.320 --> 03:50.040 I have hitherto taught and held all the opinions of John Hus unawares, so that John struppets, in short, 03:50.100 --> 03:52.480 we are all Hussites, without even knowing it. 03:52.960 --> 03:56.040 See, God worked through history, through all of these men. 03:56.160 --> 03:59.960 You had Wycliffe and Hus, and they really passed on the torch to another generation. 04:00.140 --> 04:03.280 And you had Martin Luther take up the torch, and you had Calvin, and all of these men of God. 04:03.640 --> 04:06.000 And some of them had faults in the doctrine, I'll admit that. 04:06.680 --> 04:09.460 But really, they exposed the truth. 04:10.160 --> 04:14.380 That Jesus Christ alone is the only true head of his church. 04:17.000 --> 04:23.680 As the head of the Roman Catholic Church, the Pope is often called Holy Father, and Vicar of Christ. 04:24.520 --> 04:26.880 Names and roles that only apply to God himself. 04:28.840 --> 04:36.520 He claims the ability to speak ex-cathedra, exercising God-like infallibility, to add to and also remove 04:36.520 --> 04:36.980 scripture. 04:38.220 --> 04:45.780 And the Pope wields unbiblical unholy authority over his followers, usurping the very headship of Christ, 04:45.920 --> 04:47.640 and perverting the work of the Holy Spirit. 04:47.880 --> 04:52.940 The mystery of iniquity is this, that the man of sin sits in the temple of God, showing himself that he 04:52.940 --> 04:53.260 is God. 04:53.340 --> 04:58.300 So I'm bringing a lot more work out at the moment, exposing the mystery of iniquity. 05:00.060 --> 05:03.500 The reformers understood what I'm revealing to you now. 05:03.540 --> 05:07.400 They understood the true identity of the Antichrist. 05:08.820 --> 05:11.140 And they declared that with boldness. 05:12.880 --> 05:22.020 As Martin Luther actually wrote to a friend, We are here of the conviction that the papacy is the seat of 05:22.020 --> 05:23.480 the true and real Antichrist. 05:24.340 --> 05:29.460 Personally, I declare that I owe the Pope no other obedience than to Antichrist. 05:29.580 --> 05:32.740 Let me quote that again, because every time I read that it moves me. 05:33.320 --> 05:35.400 This is a quotation by Martin Luther. 05:40.440 --> 05:46.820 We here are of the conviction that the papacy is the seat of the true and real Antichrist. 05:46.820 --> 05:53.740 Personally, I declare that I owe the Pope no other obedience than that to Antichrist. 05:53.820 --> 05:57.580 You see, today the world has long forgotten the Reformation. 05:57.760 --> 06:02.740 They've long forgotten the global, worldwide persecution against the Protestants. 06:03.100 --> 06:07.440 The Vatican literally put Christians to death, millions of them. 06:09.360 --> 06:16.940 Also, in his Institutions of the Christian Religion, John Calvin said this, Some persons think us too 06:16.940 --> 06:24.860 severe when we call the Roman Pontiff Antichrist, but those who are of this opinion do not consider that 06:24.860 --> 06:31.240 they bring the same charge of presumption against Paul himself, after whom we speak and whose language we 06:31.240 --> 06:31.660 adopt. 06:32.060 --> 06:37.320 Unless anyone should object that we improperly pivot to the Roman Pontiff those words of Paul which 06:37.320 --> 06:42.520 belong to a different subject, I shall briefly show you that they are not capable of any other 06:42.520 --> 06:46.420 interpretation than that which implies them to the papacy. 06:48.060 --> 06:55.200 The true understanding of the Antichrist according to the Bible and according to history is that the 06:55.200 --> 06:58.160 Church of Rome would bring forth the Scarlet Beast. 06:58.940 --> 07:03.540 She is the great whore that rides the beast and is drunk on the blood of the saints. 07:03.540 --> 07:07.960 Now, we must also read the scripture 2 Thessalonians 2 verse 4. 07:09.600 --> 07:13.640 And Calvin obviously referred to this many many times as did Luther in the writings. 07:13.820 --> 07:17.620 I have read many of their books and they always made this quotation. 07:18.540 --> 07:25.880 Where the Apostle Paul described the coming of the Antichrist, Who opposes and exalts himself above God, 07:26.380 --> 07:32.380 or all that is worshipped, so that he takes his place in the temple of God, so that he sits in the temple 07:32.380 --> 07:34.600 of God, displaying it and showing himself that he is God. 07:35.120 --> 07:38.440 When you go to the Vatican to St Peter's Basilica, you see the Basilica. 07:39.820 --> 07:41.360 It is the greatest throne on the earth. 07:41.660 --> 07:42.120 That's it. 07:42.260 --> 07:46.560 It doesn't matter where you go on this planet, whatever monarchy it is, whatever royal bloodline or 07:46.560 --> 07:47.640 whatever house it is. 07:48.700 --> 07:51.520 You will never find a greater throne than the papal throne. 07:51.880 --> 07:52.800 It is a throne. 07:53.240 --> 07:54.380 It is called the papal throne. 07:55.620 --> 07:59.140 For a monarch, a king, he is a king. 08:00.020 --> 08:04.520 The Pope is not just the Bishop of the Catholic Church Universal. 08:05.520 --> 08:10.820 Also, let me bring another quotation from what is called the Westminster Confession of Faith, which 08:10.820 --> 08:11.760 states this. 08:13.020 --> 08:16.860 There is no other head of the church but the Lord Jesus Christ. 08:17.340 --> 08:25.320 Nor can the Pope of Rome in any sense be head thereof, but is that Antichrist, that man of sin and son of 08:25.320 --> 08:31.500 perdition, that exalts himself in the church against Christ and all that is called God. 08:37.190 --> 08:39.190 There will be the final Antichrist. 08:39.310 --> 08:42.650 I've shared this in my work a couple of videos ago. 08:43.510 --> 08:48.130 The Pope is Antichrist, but I'm bringing it out again because people need to understand this. 08:49.350 --> 08:53.770 There are many false teachers throughout the body of Christ today that never expose Popery, that never 08:53.770 --> 08:56.650 explain the fact that the Pope of Rome is still Antichrist. 08:57.890 --> 08:59.090 The Vatican has not changed. 09:00.390 --> 09:03.830 They are deceived by the ecumenical movement and they will not go against Rome. 09:04.630 --> 09:05.350 They will not do it. 09:08.630 --> 09:15.210 The vast majority of them are high level Masons under the power of the Jesuits of Rome and they will not 09:15.210 --> 09:16.450 go against the Pope of Rome. 09:16.570 --> 09:18.430 They will not expose him as Antichrist. 09:19.410 --> 09:20.830 There is a wall of silence on this. 09:21.270 --> 09:23.950 That's why this work needs to continually be done. 09:25.170 --> 09:35.610 I want to bring a quotation also from an American Puritan called Cotton Mather who wrote in the fall of 09:35.610 --> 09:36.670 Babylon his book. 09:37.790 --> 09:45.790 The oracles of God foretold the rising of an Antichrist, even one or more Antichrist, who would embody 09:45.790 --> 09:49.030 the spirit of the final Antichrist in the Christian church. 09:49.030 --> 09:55.690 And in the Pope of Rome all the characteristics of the Antichrist are so marvellously answered and 09:55.690 --> 10:00.790 revealed that if anyone who reads the scriptures does not see that the Pope is the Antichrist there is a 10:00.790 --> 10:02.290 marvellous blindness on them. 10:02.830 --> 10:05.390 That's the delusion that the Bible predicts. 10:05.610 --> 10:06.230 That's the delusion. 10:07.010 --> 10:11.570 People look at the Pope today and Christians still cannot see that he is the Antichrist. 10:11.890 --> 10:14.810 He sits in the temple of God showing himself that he is God. 10:14.810 --> 10:21.290 He exalts himself above all that is called God on his papal throne, over all governments, over all 10:21.290 --> 10:22.030 religions today. 10:24.110 --> 10:28.970 The Pope is the one that controls and unifies all religions. 10:29.110 --> 10:29.910 He is the bridge. 10:30.470 --> 10:31.130 That's what he is. 10:31.810 --> 10:33.410 He is the one that builds bridges. 10:33.970 --> 10:35.150 He is Pontifus Maximus. 10:35.410 --> 10:36.510 He unites all religions. 10:37.350 --> 10:41.210 He unites all sin and all apostasy and all wickedness under his rule. 10:42.290 --> 10:48.370 Also Charles Haddon Spurgeon, Great Preacher, Prince of Preachers, one of his titles from Great Britain, 10:48.890 --> 10:56.810 in a sermon entitled Pray for Jesus, Charles Haddon Spurgeon exhorted his congregation, It is the duty of 10:56.810 --> 10:59.030 every Christian to pray against the Antichrist. 11:01.410 --> 11:05.230 And as to what Antichrist is, no sane man ought to raise a question. 11:08.640 --> 11:13.120 If it be not pulpery in the Church of Rome, there is nothing in the world that can be called by that 11:13.120 --> 11:13.380 name. 11:14.540 --> 11:20.140 He also went on to say, this is Charles Spurgeon, pulpery anywhere, whether it be in the Anglican Church 11:20.140 --> 11:22.760 or the Roman Church, is contrary to Christ's gospel. 11:22.760 --> 11:25.900 It is the Antichrist and we ought to pray against it. 11:26.760 --> 11:32.000 It should be the daily prayer of every believer that Antichrist, the Pope of Rome, would be hurled like a 11:32.000 --> 11:34.780 millstone into the flood and sink to rise no more. 11:37.200 --> 11:37.640 Powerful. 11:38.920 --> 11:43.760 Also Charles Spurgeon says, Christ did not redeem his church without his blood, so the Pope can come in 11:43.760 --> 11:44.900 and steal away the glory. 11:45.320 --> 11:51.120 He never came from heaven to earth and poured out his very heart that he might purchase his people so 11:51.120 --> 11:57.840 that a poor sinner or a mere man should be sent and set upon high to be admired by all the nations and to 11:57.840 --> 11:59.580 call himself God's representative on earth. 11:59.900 --> 12:01.680 Christ has always been the head of his church. 12:03.180 --> 12:05.940 1 Timothy 2 verse 5 and then I'll bring a conclusion. 12:05.940 --> 12:12.480 The Apostle Paul said, according to 1 Timothy 2 verse 5, there is one God and there is one mediator also 12:12.480 --> 12:15.080 between God and men, the man Christ Jesus. 12:18.080 --> 12:19.920 The Pope takes the place of Christ. 12:20.500 --> 12:21.220 That's what he does. 12:23.640 --> 12:29.740 Now these are quotations from the reformers and men of God who knew God, who preached the whole council, 12:30.100 --> 12:33.080 who preached divine scripture, holy scripture. 12:33.260 --> 12:34.140 These were men of God. 12:35.240 --> 12:40.460 And today we need again to go back to the true preaching of Antichrist. 12:41.020 --> 12:44.780 There's so much ridiculous speculation on who is the man of sin. 12:44.780 --> 12:53.920 I mean truly, if you're a Muslim Messiah, any up and coming politician is proclaimed to be the Antichrist 12:53.920 --> 12:55.940 continually in every generation. 12:57.500 --> 13:04.000 People said it was Reagan, people said it was Clinton, people said it was Bush, people said it was Obama 13:04.000 --> 13:06.560 and the list will go on and on and on and on. 13:06.940 --> 13:09.960 Listen, every Pope of Rome has been Antichrist. 13:12.000 --> 13:18.580 The Vatican is deceiving the world today through the ecumenical movement and through their Pope worship 13:18.580 --> 13:19.580 of Pope Francis. 13:19.860 --> 13:27.800 Listen, all you have to do is go back and read the teachings of the reformers and look at the Protestant 13:27.800 --> 13:28.110 Reformation. 13:29.480 --> 13:35.180 The reason why they resisted Rome, the reason why they preached that the Pope was Antichrist, because 13:35.180 --> 13:36.960 they were putting millions to death. 13:36.960 --> 13:46.240 And I mean millions of Christians were burned at the stake and martyred and hanged and slaughtered. 13:46.460 --> 13:55.240 Christians, the Vatican is still the same murderous religious Antichrist papacy that it was in history. 13:55.900 --> 14:00.400 It's still exactly the same today in every way, in every way. 14:04.940 --> 14:06.400 Arrogant, proud. 14:07.980 --> 14:15.700 The Pope of Rome and his pride and arrogance exalts himself above Christ, sitting on his papal throne. 14:17.240 --> 14:20.900 Exalting himself above all that is called God and Catholics are deceived. 14:23.820 --> 14:28.220 They come to God through the Pope, through the priest, through Mary, through confessionals, through 14:28.220 --> 14:30.760 purgatory, anything but Jesus Christ. 14:30.880 --> 14:34.140 The Vatican does not preach Jesus Christ because it is against Christ. 14:34.960 --> 14:39.080 And if you are Catholic you need to come out of Popery, you must come to Jesus Christ. 14:39.440 --> 14:42.600 He is the true and only way to heaven and the only way to God the Father. 14:42.720 --> 14:44.720 He is the only mediator between God and man. 14:44.980 --> 14:46.020 He is the only high priest. 14:46.120 --> 14:47.300 We confess our sins to him. 14:49.600 --> 14:50.940 Thank you for watching the video. 14:51.100 --> 14:57.520 My name is Alan Lamont and as always, all roads lead to Rome, the mother of harlots and abominations of 14:57.520 --> 14:59.660 the earth and the seat of Antichrist.
