Wide Christendom around was desecrated by idolatrous temples and pagan rites; in the valleys of the Waldenses mass was never sung, and in the churches of the Waldenses no image was ever set up. Knowing that God is a Spirit, they worshipped Him in spirit and in truth.

It cannot be the literal temple which John is commanded to measure: for the “holy and beautiful house ” in which his fathers had praised God was now razed to the ground, and the Roman plowshare had been drawn across its site.

But the little book in the angel’s hand is obviously contrasted with the Lamb’s book. It is represented with great propriety as a little book, because the space of time comprehended in it is much shorter than that included in the other.

Continue reading →THE Apocalypse is the record of a great war. We may truly call this war great, for its rise, progress, and issues fill not the records of Time only, they constitute the annals of Eternity.
Continue reading →The Apocalypse is, in brief, a history of the Church, written in grand symbolical characters, extending from the year when John saw it, which we take to have been A.D. 96, till the second and glorious return of Christ to Judgment.
Continue reading →The symbols of the Apocalypse are not arbitrary signs, as are the letters of the alphabet and the hieroglyphics of the Egyptian tablets. There must be a law that governs symbolic representation; and the knowledge of that law is essential to the right interpretation of the Apocalypse.
Continue reading →IN magnificence and terror the judgment of the Seventh VIAL stands alone. It rises grandly pre-eminent among the other awful scenes of the Prophetic Volume, showing, Etna-like, its summit of flame. Its vengeance will surpass all that has been before it since the world was destroyed by water, and all that will come after it till the world be again destroyed by fire. It ranks as one of the three mighty dispensations, standing midway between the antediluvian Deluge and the post-diluvian Conflagration.
Continue reading →The author has attempted, by a generous use of historical quotations, to so arrange facts that the reader will see that the hope of Protestantism and the hope of republicanism lies in the proper education of the youth.

2The woman of Rev 17, the apostate church, is the same entity as the great city of Babylon that reigns over the kings of the earth, found in Rev 18. There is only one church that history shows to have made the claim of authority over the kings of the earth. That church is the Roman Catholic Church, and Babylon is the code word for the city of Rome.

And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.
Rev 12:9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

2“Though heretics must not be tolerated because they deserved it, we must bear with them till, by a second admonition, they may be brought back to the faith of the Church. But those who, after a second admonition, remain obstinate in their errors, must not only be excommunicated, but they must be delivered to the secular power to be exterminated.”

2Opus Dei pursues the Vatican’s agenda through the presence of its members in secular governments and institutions and through a vast array of academic, medical, and grassroots pursuits. Its constant effort is to increase its presence in civil institutions of power.

1We believe that the Christianity left by the apostles to the primitive church was essentially what we now call Presbyterian and Protestant. Prelacy and popery speedily began to work in the bosom of that community and steadily wrought its corruption and almost its total extirpation.

2Why would anyone who was raised a Protestant be attracted to the Catholic Church? According to what JD Vance had to say, it sounds like he wasn’t taught hardly any doctrines from God’s Word in the Holy Scriptures, the Bible.
Continue reading →We excommunicate and anathematize every heresy that exalts itself against the holy, orthodox and Catholic faith, condemning all heretics, by whatever name they may be known; for though their faces differ they are tied together by their tails. Such as are condemned are to be delivered over to the existing secular powers, to receive due punishment.
