| Chapter Four The Woman and the Scarlet Colored Beast Part Two 8) The “woman” uses colorful purple and scarlet costumes to deceive the people (Rev 17:4) “And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication.” Revelation 17:4 “In this photo made available by the Vatican newspaper L'Osservatore Romano, Archbishop Stanislaw Dsiwisz, right, places a white veil over the face of late Pope John Paul II as Archbishop Piero Marini looks on, prior to closing the coffin for burial in the grottos beneath St. Peter's Basilica, at the Vatican, Friday, April 8, 2005. The grottos form a cramped underground cemetery beneath St. Peter's Basilica where pontiffs throughout the ages, royals and even an emperor have been laid to rest.” (AP Photo/Osservatore Romano, ho) Copyright © 2005 Yahoo!

Pope John XXIII on the bottom shows the woman with her cup filled with the abominations of the sun god worship which is universal over all the earth." © Michael Scheifler http://www.aloha.net/~mikesch Copyright © 2005 Yahoo! “U.S. Cardinal Bernard Law celebrates a mourning Mass for late Pope John Paul II, in St. Peter's Basilica at the Vatican, Monday, April 11, 2005. Law, who resigned as archbishop of Boston in December 2002 in the midst of a sex scandal that shook the Catholic Church, ignored protests from victims who travelled to the Vatican Monday, that his handling of the sex abuse scandal should disqualify him from the honor of leading a mass for the late pontiff.” (AP Photo/Peter Dejong) Copyright © 2005 Yahoo!

According to Jacob Primer, in "Pastor Jacob Primmer in Rome" p. 215 upside down crucifixion is one of the tortures they used on our forefathers during the Inquisition (the picture at left was taken from the book "Pastor Jacob Primmer in Rome", sixth edition, 1912, Dunfermline Citizen office. In the next segment of the slideshow there is a picture of various inquisition tortures which include another upside down crucifixion. Inverted crucifixion is also pictured and mentioned in Samuel Clarke's Martyrology circa 1651). In this context, the pope's inverted cross means "Death to all who oppose Rome!" http://www.jesus-is-lord.com/anti6.htm “Inquisition torture chamber by Bernard Picart showing the 3 main tortures used: the pulley, the water torture and the fire.” http://www.reformation.org/inquisit.html “The Burning of Dr. Farrar, Bp. of St. David's. / The Martyrdom of Rawlins White.

In 1555, Parliament passed a set of Heresy laws that made it a crime to be Protestant in England. All Protestants who refused to convert to Catholicism were to be burnt. One of the first to go to the stake was John Rogers who had translated Tynedale's Bible into English. The Bishops, Nicholas Ridley, Hugh Latimer and Thomas Cranmer followed soon afterwards. In all Mary was responsible for the burnings of 227 men and 56 women, mostly in the South East of England.” (c) Copyright 2001 History on the Net These verses tell of the “woman” with great wealth, with believers deceived by the wine of her fornication, which has great works of art and music, and is clad in purple and scarlet color with precious stones and pearls. The people are deceived by the celebration of the mass which in reality is a rite sacrificing anew our Lord Jesus Christ at each service (Heb 7:27, Heb 9: 24-28). The wine and the “Host” or “body of Christ” is offered through the golden cup which is filled with abominations and the filthiness of her fornication. Here the act of “Transubstantiation,” or to change the wafer into the “Body of Christ” is claimed to occur. In actuality, this practice comes directly from Egyptian sun god worship where the wafer also had the markings “IHS.” This then stood for Isis, Horus and Seb, the pagan sun god trinity. This is the fornication that the Roman Catholic Church has committed by incorporating Christian characters with their longstanding sun god or Baal worship and pretending to represent “by apostolic succession,” our Lord Jesus Himself. The Bible further clarifies who the “woman” is spiritually: 11) The “woman” is the source of all false religions in the world ( Rev. 17:5 ) “And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.” Revelation 17:5 All false religions of the world can be traced back to the mystery sun god religion started by Nimrod (Baal), his wife Semiramis (queen of heaven) and her son Tammuz (Ezekiel 8:14). The celibate Chaldean priesthood that started in Babel shortly after the flood now sits in all its earthly glory as the Roman Catholic Church today wearing their same red cloaks and using the same priestly confessionals as they did during the time of Semiramis in Babel. After the flood, Nimrod is alleged by tradition to have married his mother Semiramis and together they brought occultism back into the world. We now introduce this much misunderstood doctrine that is spoken of in length throughout the Bible and historically is shown by the many false gods from Egypt, Greece, Rome and actually the entire world to have had a central origin in Babel. The single best resource on this subject that ties together historical data and archaeological data with extensive research on the many false pagan religions is Alexander Hislop's, The Two Babylons. (http://www.cbcg.org/twobaby/twobaby.htm) He further makes the most important connection of all in correlating this extensive extra-biblical research directly to both the historical and prophetic Scriptures showing conclusively that the worship held in Roman Catholic churches can be dated back to the time of Nimrod, his wife Semiramis and her son Tammuz who she falsely claimed was the reincarnation of Nimrod as the sun god after he died. Likewise, we can trace these same origins of the MYSTERY BABYLON religion through the Holy Scriptures themselves. It is however, no small task to come to an understanding of how all of this applies to current day events as well as end time events, yet this can be accomplished through diligent study. Yet, for those that will study this most important doctrine of the Bible, the fruit of understanding can only come from a prayerful seeking of the truth through the power of the Holy Spirit. We begin our brief review of this subject with some materials from Chick Publications. (http://www.chick.com/default.asp) I would like to remind everyone that the historical and extra-biblical sources presented here will all tie in directly to the Scriptures themselves and are used in the same historical context as we see for any study of Bible prophecy that has already been fulfilled. The two key sets of Scriptures that a student of this subject should start with are Isaiah chapter 47 and Revelation chapter 18 which are two different witnesses of the same Chaldean queen of heaven that now inhabits the Vatican. The importance of these two sets of Scripture is that it shows a continuity from the time of Babel to our current age. We will likewise see this same progression as we review the seven kingdoms that Satan has used against the Lord in Revelation 17:10-11. It all begins in Babel. Why Is Mary Crying? ©1987 by Jack T. Chick LLC Sabotage, pages 17 & 18 ©1979 by Jack T. Chick LLC "After Nimrod died, according to the Babylonian tradition, his wife Semiramis bore a son whom she named Tammuz. She claimed that Tammuz was Nimrod reborn, the son of the sun god. This was a satanic deception of the promise of a coming Savior in Genesis 3:15: "And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shall bruise his heel." The resurrection of Tammuz was, of course, another part of the satanic lie. Semiramis claimed that her son was supernaturally conceived, so the mother was worshipped as well as the child. Many of the Jews in Babylon accepted, at least in part, this satanic religion, and one of the Jewish months is Tammuz. We read in Ezekiel 8:14-15, "Then he brought me to the door of the gate of the Lord's house which was toward the north; and behold, there sat women weeping for Tammuz. Then said he unto me, Hast thou seen this, 0 son of man? turn thee yet again, and thou shall see greater abominations than these.

The “woman” is known as a queen ( Rev.18: 7, Jeremiah 7:18, 44:17-19, 25 ) “How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.” Revelation 18:7 This is where that woman that reigns over the kings of the earth sits and this is “MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.” This is where the “Queen of Heaven” reigns over the entire world in the full pageantry of the Roman Catholic Church. In Isaiah 47:5, the title of Lady of kingdoms shows the prophecy of the current title for the Roman Catholic's "Queen of Heaven," Mary, who is also known as the "Lady of all Nations." The history of the "Queen of Heaven) is traced directly back to Nimrod's wife, Semiramis. “Sit thou silent, and get thee into darkness, O daughter of the Chaldeans: for thou shalt no more be called, The lady of kingdoms.” Isaiah 47:5 After Nimrod died, he was called Baal the sun god and Semiramis was known as Balti, “the Lady.” The Roman Catholics now call the Virgin Mary “The Lady of all Nations.” This comes directly from the mystery Babylon religion that worships “the Queen of Heaven.” The Catholics call Mary the “Queen of Heaven,” yet the “Coronation of Mary” is not supported by any Scripture. This comes only from the mystery Babylon religion started by Semiramis who called herself the “Queen of Heaven.” This is the same queen of heaven that Israel was admonished against worshipping by Jeremiah the prophet (Jeremiah chapters 7 and 44). Nowhere in the Bible is the queen of heaven ever anything but a pagan goddess. This is still true despite the Catholics claims of Mary’s Assumption into heaven and her “Immaculate Conception” (Their false assertion that it was Mary who was first born without sin). Mary as the “Queen of Heaven” reigning over the entire earth as the Roman Catholic Church “tramples” the earth and divides it for its own use. This is the fourth beast of Daniel chapter seven that is horrible beyond all description. The “woman” is spiritually “Babylon.” ( Rev. 17:5, Rev. 18:2-7) “And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.” Revelation 18:2 One of the proofs that the Vatican and the Roman Catholic Church are the great whore of Babylon comes from their treasures of pagan religions from over the entire earth that truly makes it the habitation or “home” of devils. 12) The “woman” is the habitation of devils ( Rev. 18:2 ) "And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird." “Anpu” the Egyptian jackal god of the dead at the Vatican Museum This is “Anpu” the Egyptian jackal god of the dead and that had charge in preserving the dead. He is given credit for the burial practice of mummification. Notice the sun and moon figure that crowns his head identifying him as part of the sun god mystery religion started by Semiramis, the moon, and Nimrod the sun. As we will see in the next picture on Slide09, when a person was mummified, his internal organs were placed in urns that had the head of the jackal on top signifying their safe keeping by Anpu, the god of the dead.
