Pagan Symbols of the Popes

Occult symbols abound in the Roman Catholic Church, which are seen in articles of clothing, ornaments, and architecture, as well as art.

Take for example the Babylonian sun god, Shamash, (Akkadian).  The symbol for this pagan god is found in many places within the Catholic Church.  During the coronation of Pope John XXIII, who was recently canonized as a saint by Pope Francis, he is pictured wearing a white glove with a large jewel on the ring finder and the sun god symbol on the top (picture below).

This symbol is seen in ancient Babylonian art such as the example pictured below:

Babylonian sun-god Shamash

A close up of the symbol shows the detail:

Now look at the same symbol in a Catholic Church, and coincidentally the IHS may have a double meaning that also represents the pagan gods, Ishtar (I), Horus (H), and Shamash (S):

This is the same pagan sun-god image pictured in ancient Babylonian art, as depicted below:

The sun-god symbol is also found in the Roman Catholic Monstrance

The photo below depicts John Paul II, recently canonized as a saint by Pope Francis, holding the Roman Monstrance:

Pope John Paul II with Monstrance

This sun-god symbol is found in Saint Peter's Square at the Vatican, as pictured below, with a giant obelisk in the center:

The obelisk was an ancient phallic symbol used in heathen religions to honor and celebrate the regeneration of the sun god Ra (Egypt’s greatest deity).  For those of you who do not know what a phallic symbol is, it is a pagan symbol representing the male reproductive organ (penis).  In the Old Testament, the Scriptures record how the Israelites provoked God to anger by setting up wooden phallic symbols called Asherah (Ashtoreth) poles.

One thing is for sure, there is no biblical reason why these or any other pagan symbols should be lifted up in the Church.  Such things provoke the Lord to anger, because they are detestable in His sight. Yet men who have led the way in doing so, namely John XXIII and John Paul II, have been canonized as saints.

Associating with the Wicked

If you are a part of this religion, I urge you to listen to and heed this warning.  It is an occult religion.  Someone might say, "I attend the Catholic Church and take communion, but I don't follow all of their idolatrous practices."  If that is you, I would like to remind you that the Scripture warns us not to associate with the wicked man who calls himself a brother:

"I wrote you in my letter not to associate with immoral people; I did not at all mean with the immoral people of this world, or with the covetous and swindlers, or with idolaters, for then you would have to go out of the world. But actually, I wrote to you not to associate with any so-called brother if he is an immoral person, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or a swindler--not even to eat with such a one. For what have I to do with judging outsiders? Do you not judge those who are within the church? But those who are outside, God judges. REMOVE THE WICKED MAN FROM AMONG YOURSELVES." (1Co 5:9-13)

If you agree that these unbiblical practices of the Catholic Church are evil , then why do you continue to associate with those who commit these acts by having fellowship and communion with them?  That's a question you will need to answer between you and God.

"Elijah went before the people and said, 'How long will you waver between two opinions? If the LORD is God, follow him; but if Baal is God, follow him.' But the people said nothing." (1 King 18:21)

"Then I heard another voice from heaven say: "'Come out of her, my people,' so that you will not share in her sins, so that you will not receive any of her plagues;" (Rev 18:4).

Don't delay.  Time is fast running out!

Do You Want to Know Him?
If you want to know Jesus personally, you can. It all begins when you repent and believe in Jesus. Do you know what God's Word, the Bible says?

“Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of God, and saying, ‘The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel.’” (Mar 1:14b-15).  He preached that we must repent and believe.

Please see my explanation of this in my post called "Do You Want to Know Jesus?"

Former Pope in Hell Declared a Saint

Today I watched a video of Pope Francis declaring John XXIII and John Paul II as saints of the Catholic Church. This is an occult practice, people.  In the video at 1:37, notice the pope kissing the gold ornaments containing the blood of these dead men!  That is called idolatry and it is detestable in the sight of God.

Ecuadorean Girl Says Pope John Paul II in Hell
And for those of you who are not aware, an Ecuadorean girl named Angelica Zambrano testified that she saw Pope John Paul II in hell.  In Prepare to Meet Your God, Angelica states:

Then the Lord took me to place where there was a very well-known man.  Before now, I used to live as a double minded young Christian girl.  I used to think that any person that died would go to Heaven; that those who celebrated mass, would also go to heaven, but I was wrong.  When Pope John Paul II died, my friends and relatives would tell me that he had gone to heaven.  All the news on TV, on Extra and many other places would say, "Pope John Paul II has died, may he rest in peace.  He is now rejoicing with the Lord and his angels in heaven" and I believed all of it.  But I was only fooling myself, because I saw him in Hell, being tormented by flames.  I looked at his face, it was John Paul II!  The Lord said to me, "Look, Daughter, that man that you see there, is Pope John Paul II.  He is here in this place; he is being tormented because he did not repent."

But I asked, "Lord, why is he here? He used to preach at church." Jesus replied, "Daughter, no fornicator, no idolater, no one who is greedy and no liar will inherit My Kingdom." (Eph 5:5) I replied, "Yes, I know that is true, but I want to know why he is here, because he used to preach to multitudes of people!" And Jesus responded, "Yes, Daughter, he may have said many things, but he would never speak the truth as it is.  He never said the truth and they know the truth and although he knew the truth, he preferred money over preaching about salvation.  He would not offer reality; would not say that hell is real and that heaven also exists; Daughter, now he is here in this place."

When I looked at this man, he had a large serpent with needles, wrapped around his throat, and he would try to take it off.  I pleaded with Jesus, "Lord, help him!"  The man would scream, "Help me, Lord; have mercy on me; take me out of this place; forgive me!  I repent, Lord; I want to return to Earth, I want to go back to Earth to repent." The Lord observed him and said to him, "You very well knew.  You knew very well that this place was real...It's too late; there is no other opportunity for you."

The Lord said, "Look, Daughter, I am going to show you the life of this man."  Jesus showed me a huge screen on which I could observe how this man offered mass many times to the multitudes.  And how the people who were there were so idolatrous.  Jesus said, "Look, Daughter, there are many idolaters in this place.  Idolatry will not save, Daughter.  I am the only One who saves, and outside of Me, no one saves.  I love the sinner, but I hate sin, Daughter.  Go and tell humanity that I love them and that they need to come to Me."

As the Lord was speaking, I began to see how this man received multitudes of coins and bills; money, all of which he would keep.  He had so much money.  I saw images of this man seated on a throne, but I was also able to see beyond that.  While it's true that these people do not get married, I can assure you, I'm not making this up, the Lord showed it to me, those people do sleep with nuns; with many women there!

The Lord showed me these people living in fornication, and the Word says that no fornicator will inherit His Kingdom.  As I was watching all of this, the Lord told me, "Look Daughter, all of this which I am showing you is what goes on, what he lived and what keeps on happening among many people, among many priests and popes existing." Then he told me, "Daughter, go and tell humanity that it's time to turn to Me."

Angelica Zambrano is not the only person to see Pope John Paul II in hell.  An African boy named Samuel  Oghenetega also saw him there (see Visitation of Jesus to Samuel Oghenetega).

Catholic People Now Contacting Dead Man in Hell
So now that Pope Francis has declared John Paul II a saint, members of the Catholic Church will be calling upon this dead man in hell to intercede for them.

The Scripture says:

"There shall not be found among you anyone who makes his son or his daughter pass through the fire, one who uses divination, one who practices witchcraft, or one who interprets omens, or a sorcerer, or one who casts a spell, or a medium, or a spiritist, or one who calls up the dead. For whoever does these things is detestable to the LORD; and because of these detestable things the LORD your God will drive them out before you. You shall be blameless before the LORD your God."  (Deu 18:10-13)

One must seriously wonder how much discernment Pope Francis has, when he declares this man to be a saint, who is actually in hell.  I do not have any personal animosity toward any of these past or present popes, but I must declare the truth in love.  They are not leading people in the Truth of God's Word!  They do not offer reality.

Beware of False Prophets
The warning of our Lord Jesus to beware of false prophets applies to present and past popes:

"Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits. Grapes are not gathered from thorn bushes nor figs from thistles, are they? So every good tree bears good fruit, but the bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot produce bad fruit, nor can a bad tree produce good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. "So then, you will know them by their fruits. Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter. Many will say to Me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?' And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; DEPART FROM ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS.'" (Mat 7:15-23)

Associating with the Wicked
If you are a part of this religion, I urge you to listen to and heed this warning.  It is an occult religion.  Someone might say, "I attend the Catholic Church and take communion, but I don't follow all of their idolatrous practices."  If that is you, I would like to remind you that the Scripture warns us not to associate with the wicked man who calls himself a brother:

"I wrote you in my letter not to associate with immoral people; I did not at all mean with the immoral people of this world, or with the covetous and swindlers, or with idolaters, for then you would have to go out of the world. But actually, I wrote to you not to associate with any so-called brother if he is an immoral person, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or a swindler--not even to eat with such a one. For what have I to do with judging outsiders? Do you not judge those who are within the church? But those who are outside, God judges. REMOVE THE WICKED MAN FROM AMONG YOURSELVES." (1Co 5:9-13)

If you agree that these unbiblical practices of the Catholic Church are wicked, then why do you continue to associate with those who commit these acts by having fellowship and communion with them?  That's a question you will need to answer between you and God. 

Therefore, "'Come out from them and be separate,' says the Lord. 'Touch no unclean thing, and I will receive you. And, I will be a Father to you, and you will be my sons and daughters,' says the Lord Almighty." (2 Co 6:17)

"Then I heard another voice from heaven say: "'Come out of her, my people,' so that you will not share in her sins, so that you will not receive any of her plagues;" (Rev 18:4).

Don't delay.  Time is fast running out!
