Chapter Seven
“The False Prophet”
Part Three
The Catholic Paschal Candle in Washington D.C.
“The blessing of the "paschal candle", which is a column of wax of exceptional size, usually fixed in a great candlestick
specially destined for that purpose, is a notable feature of the service on Holy Saturday. The blessing is performed by the
deacon, wearing a white dalmatic. A long Eucharistic prayer, the "Præconium paschali" or "Exultet", is chanted by him, and
in the course of this chanting the candle is first ornamented with five grains of incense and then lighted with the newly blessed
fire. At a later stage in the service, during the blessing of the font, the same candle is plunged three times into the water with
the words: Descendat in hanc plenitudinem fontis virtus Spiritus Sancti" (May the power of the Holy Spirit come down into
the fulness of this fountain). . . “

The Easter Vigil
“The Easter Vigil service originally lasted throughout the night as a true vigil kept in expectation of Christ’s Resurrection on
Easter morning. It is at this solemn Mass that new initiates are baptized into the Church.
“The Lighting of the Easter Paschal Candle”“The Male Element” It is also the time when the paschal fire, representing
Christ’s Resurrection as “the light of the world,” is kindled. From the fire, the Paschal Candle is lit and all other candles in
the church are lit from this single candle, which is lit anew each year. Before baptizing the new catechumens, the newly lit
Paschal Candle, representing the Body of Christ, is plunged into the font of baptismal water to bless the water with Christ’s
presence.” “Inside Catholicism” Rituals and Symbols Revealed Text by RICHARD P. MCBRIEN ©1995 Collins

The Catholic Golden Cup filled with abominations
“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

Here are the original plans for the Capitol Hill grounds. Please note the unmistakable form of the Catholic’s
golden chalice used in the “Mass” even in the original drawings and the current outline most evident to any
discerning eye that would seek the truth. Again, simply notice the form of a chalice in the paths and walkways
surrounding the capitol building and then mentally compare this to the outline of a golden cup filled with the
abominations of the MYSTERY BABYLON sun god religion.
“Babylon hath been a golden cup in the Lord’s hand, that made all the earth drunken: the nations have
drunken of her wine; therefore the nations are mad.”
Jeremiah 51:7
Therefore, putting all the clues together in a table reveals the one and only possible answer to this logic or word puzzle: The
United States of America is the two horned beast of Bible prophecy. This is the nation that shall cause all men to accept the
mark of the beast or suffer death. America will not yield militarily or economically to anyone in the world until they are
defeated by the Lord, together with the beast, and cast into the Lake of Fire. (Rev. 19:20). Moreover, if America is not
“the false prophet” or “the two horned beast,” then there are no other candidates in the world today that can fulfill this
prophecy in a true and literal sense. A close look at the chart of the five nations with worldwide power in relation to these
eight “clues” confirms this point. This is the nation that is “of the people, by the people and for the people,” that is
the false prophet of Revelation chapter 13. Take heed and understand what the Lord has uncovered and revealed to
those who have ears to hear and eyes to see. Take close notice of the myriad of celebrity Bible prophecy experts that use
Scriptures such as Isaiah 18:1-2 which deceive and hide the true identity of America:
“Woe to the land shadowing with wings, which is beyond the rivers of Ethiopia:
That sendeth ambassadors by the sea, even in vessels of bulrushes upon the waters, saying, Go, ye swift
messengers, to a nation scattered and peeled, to a people terrible from their beginning hitherto; a nation meted
out and trodden down, whose land the rivers have spoiled!”
Egypt lies north of Ethiopia and is the first nation “beyond” or “above” its rivers. The only other mention of a water going
craft made from bulrushes in the Bible was the tiny ark in which Moses was laid in the river Nile ( Exodus 2:3 ). America has
never been a nation with ocean going ships made from bulrushes, yet Egypt certainly did. These two verses fall far short of a
proof that Isaiah was speaking of America and instead is an excellent description for Egypt alone. Likewise, we studied in
detail in the chapter two the false teaching that the lion of Daniel chapter seven is England, the bear is Russia and that the
leopard represented America as some would falsely assert. In addition, New York City is often falsely referred to as the
whore of Babylon which is yet again a private interpretation without any scriptural basis. Rome is clearly the earthly city that
reigns over the kings of the earth and Babylon is the spiritual seat of the mystery religion that now resides in Rome as the
sixth head of the dragon.
The next most quoted verse speaking of a possible reference to America is in Ezekiel 38:13. Here they identify Tarshish as
Britain and “the young lions thereof” as the colonies started by the British including Canada, America, Australia and New
Zealand. Yet the riches of Tarshish are not known to come from England or anywhere in Europe. The “gold and
silver, ivory, and apes and peacocks” are, on the other hand, widely known to be the riches of Africa (II
Chronicles 8:18; II Chronicles 9:21). However, even if one could prove that Tarshish is modern Britain, it would be of
no consequence given the fact that the Battle of Gog and Magog mentioned in this Chapter has its second witness in
Revelation 20:7-9 at the end of the millennium ( Ezekiel 38:22-23 ). Ezekiel Chapter 39 reveals the first battle that shall
occur on the great and terrible day of the Lord when the house of Israel shall know the Lord God from that day and forward
( Zech. 12:10, Zech. 13:6-9, Rev. 19:17-21, Ezekiel 39:17-22 ): “And, thou son of man, thus saith the Lord God;
Speak unto every feathered fowl, and to every beast of the field, Assemble yourselves, and come; gather
yourselves on every side to my sacrifice that I do sacrifice for you, even a great sacrifice upon the mountains of
Israel, that ye may eat flesh, and drink blood. Ye shall eat the flesh of the mighty, and drink the blood of the
princes of the earth, of rams, of lambs, and of goats, of bullocks, all of them fatlings of Bashan. And ye shall eat
fat till ye be full, and drink blood till ye be drunken, of my sacrifice which I have sacrificed for you. Thus ye
shall be filled at my table with horses and chariots, with mighty men, and with all men of war, saith the Lord
God. And I will set my glory among the heathen, and all the heathen shall see my judgment that I have
executed, and my hand that I have laid upon them. So the house of Israel shall know that I am the Lord their
God from that day and forward.” (Ezekiel 39:17-22).
Thus, it is only after the Lord defeats all the armies of the earth on the great and terrible day of the Lord that Israel shall look
upon Him whom they have pierced and mourn for Him as one mourns for his only son. Therefore, their private interpretation
of Ezekiel 38:13 is spurious and fails to recognize the Bible’s description of two battles separated by time. But the greatest
damage done by these writers is to spread the false notion that America will not be a major player in the prophecies of the
last days. They state that because America is “not mentioned anywhere in end times Bible prophecies,” then
America will continue to decline morally, politically, militarily and economically and have the same fate as the
“Fallen Roman Empire.” In actuality, on the outward appearance, America may very well go the way of the Roman
Empire in a mass worldwide deception to hide its true power in a new religious theocracy and not a political body, just as
did Rome in 476 A.D. with the consolidation of all their power in the Roman Catholic Church.
Nevertheless, these authors are again assigning a popular false doctrine of men as the commandments of God. They have
deceived many unwary students of Bible prophecies into believing a false notion about the fate of a “declining” America.
But clearly, America will be one of the three major rulers during the seventieth week and in the great tribulation. Please take
notice and follow our Lord’s own command: “Take heed that no man deceive you” (Matthew 24:4). This can only be
accomplished through the diligent study of God’s Holy Word supplied with faith and believing it is the true literal and
complete Word of God as contained in the King James 1611 version. May God bless your diligent and deliberate search for
the truth.
Addendum: The Apotheosis of Washington
(Literal proof of a worldwide conspiracy against the Lord by the rulers and kings of this earth by their own
testimony.)
“The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord, and against his
anointed, saying,”
“Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us”
Psalm 2:2-3
Architect of the Capitol: The Rotunda and the Apotheosis of Washington
Definition ofApotheosis:
Deification; consecration; the act of placing a prince or other distinguished person among the heathen deities.
This honor was often bestowed on illustrious men in Rome. . .
“The Apotheosis of Washington in the eye of the Rotunda of the U.S. Capitol was painted in the true fresco
technique by Constantino Brumidi in 1865. Brumidi (1805-1880) was born and trained in Rome and had painted
in the Vatican and Roman palaces before emigrating to the United States in 1852. A master of creating the
illusion of three-dimensional forms and figures on flat walls, Brumidi painted frescoes and murals throughout the
Capitol from 1855 until his death. The canopy fresco, his most ambitious work at the Capitol, was painted in
eleven months at the end of the Civil War, soon after the new dome was completed, for $40,000. Suspended 180
feet above the Rotunda floor, it covers an area of 4,664 square feet. The figures, up to 15 feet tall, were painted
to be intelligible from close up as well as from 180 feet below. Some of the groups and figures were inspired by
classical and Renaissance images, especially by those of the Italian master Raphael.”(Office of the Curator,
August 1997)
“In the central group (37k) of the fresco, Brumidi depicted George Washington rising to the heavens in glory,
flanked by female figures representing Liberty and Victory/Fame. A rainbow arches at his feet, and thirteen
maidens symbolizing the original states flank the three central figures. (The word "apotheosis" in the title
means literally the raising of a person to the rank of a god, or the glorification of a person as an ideal; George
Washington was honored as a national icon in the nineteenth century.)
Six groups of figures line the perimeter of the canopy; the following list begins below the central group and
proceeds clockwise: (Office of the Curator, August 1997)
“War (38k), with Armed Freedom and the eagle defeating Tyranny and Kingly Power
Science (37k), with Minerva teaching Benjamin Franklin, Robert Fulton, and Samuel F.B. Morse
Marine (37k), with Neptune holding his trident and Venus holding the transatlantic cable, which was being laid at
the time the fresco was painted
Commerce (38k), with Mercury handing a bag of money to Robert Morris, financier of the American Revolution
Mechanics (37k), with Vulcan at the anvil and forge, producing a cannon and a steam engine;
Agriculture (39k), with Ceres seated on the McCormick Reaper, accompanied by America in a red liberty cap
and Flora picking flowers.” (Office of the Curator, August 1997)
Fresco1865 Rotunda
Armored Freedom, sword raised and cape flying, with a helmet and shield reminiscent of those on the Statue of
Freedom, tramples Tyranny and Kingly Power; she is assisted by a fierce eagle carrying arrows and a
thunderbolt.”(Office of the Curator, February 2001)
Here, the “hero” of the American government tramples over the king that resides in the throne that is
surrounded by a rainbow. There is only one King surrounded by a rainbow that I am aware of, the God of
Heaven who is Lord of lords and King of kings.
“And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone and there was a rainbow round about the
throne, in sight like unto an emerald.” Revelation 4:3
“As the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud in the day of rain, so was the appearance of the brightness
round about. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the LORD. And when I saw it, I fell upon
my face, and I heard a voice of one that spake.” Ezekiel 1:28
Lastly, do not be deceived by the symbols of “freedom” that adorn America's capitol walls and ceilings. They
have placed the marks of open rebellion against God in plain sight and view of all who would see. Please take
note that there is only one throne in Heaven or earth that is surrounded by a rainbow, this is the throne of God
alone! The Apotheosis of Washington in the center of the Capitol Rotunda gives literal proof of the rulers of this
earth trampling under foot the glory of God and His Anointed. Yet, for all of this, the LORD God of Heaven will
laugh at their plans as He is always in control and His purpose shall be fulfilled to His praise, honor and glory
forever more.
