i should probably mention that babylonian talmud plays a roll in this as well. talmud is like taking all the worst parts of the old testament, multiplying the extreme nature of those parts by many magnitudes and calling it a wisdom from god.

In order to understand what's going on, you have to read up on some history -- specifically the history of the Church and the Book of Revelation.

* The Book of Revelation was written before the Catholic Church existed.
* The Book of Revelation was written around the time of Nero, at the height of persecution of Early Christians.
* At the time, there were several Christian denominations, including the Gnostics and the Paulines (among many others.)
* The book was written at the height of the persecution of the Christian religion by the Roman Empire

It is one of several Christian letters/writings/books that denounce the practices of Rome.

Rome is the city of seven hills, and at the time it was a hotbed of all sorts of things that the Christians disapproved of (there's a lot of good books on the antics of the emperors and the patrician classes... lots of steamy stuff -- and if you hunt up the old historians (like Tacitus) you find out even more outrageous things about the Roman Empire and its practices.

However, the Catholic Church (the Pauline faction of Christians) would not exist until 200 years after Book of Revelation was written, and even then, Catholicism as we know it today did not completely exist until after that (they had several hundred years of battles over doctrine.) The Church split into two (Eastern Orthodox and Roman Catholic) before the Middle Ages.

So the Church of today was not what John of Patmos was railing about -- it was the very real practices of the Roman Empire. The "666" has been tied to Nero in a fairly convincing way by many scholars.

Your church library may have a library of books you can borrow that will go into the history of the persecutions as well as some reference books (like translations of Tacitus and so forth.)

The catholic church is the most corrupt corporation on the planet. A corporation that pays no taxes.

Make no mistake, the Power the Vatican controls is it's main goal. Religion is a means to an end.

It is a political, dictatorial governmental organization. It holds itself above the governments of the world as separate and superior. And regardless of your feelings on the matter, it considers itself the defacto leader of all Christians on the planet, not just Catholics.

Religion in itself is the 'Whore' in which the bible refers!

We have three conclusive religions using the same "God Breathed" documents.
Each religion gives it's own veried account - not conceding that each holds a viable
piece to the message.

Each religion is wrong and WHORING God's Breathed documents using their stained
version to kill and destroy God's children in the face of their Mother.
Each biblical version beit Judaism, Islamic or Christianity go openly against everyone
of God's given Commandments.

Religion is the WHORE to God's word!

Revelations has nothing to do with the characters of the Bible.
It is a cleverly written astrological equation that is written in a mythological version passed
down for remeberance through the ages.

Revelations is the second half of the Genesis equation..all one story..the Alpha and the Omega.

Use your eyes for God has given you them for which to see!

Remember the Romans were BLAMED for crucifying Jesus, while a group of imposters were the ones who really insisted on it.

These were the Illuminati that Jesus warned us about:


"I will make those who are of the synagogue of Satan, who claim to be Jews though they are not, but are liars" ~ Revelation 3:9

This is the glue that connects all conspiracy theories together...


"...a group of people rose to leadership positions in Jerusalem called Pharisees. They looked like their Jewish counterparts, were well versed in prophecy, were well educated and seemed to be advocates for the Jews during their Roman oppression. One problem, they weren’t Jews!

When the Messiah came exactly as prophesied, the Pharisees told the Jews, this man was a fake, and proposed a traditional Roman execution for him, which was also prophesied long before the Romans even existed. This Messiah came in His Father’s name and said he would be rejected, but another would come in his own name that would be accepted.

This book is the story of modern day Pharisees who say they are Jews, but are not. They blamed the Romans for crucifying Jesus, but they insisted on it, not the Romans. Later, they convinced the world to lay blame on Jews for rejecting the Messiah, but they are to blame for that, not the Jews.

There's Still Nothing New Under the Sun. Howard Ratcliffe


Jesus exposed the Illuminati because He knew how important this was:


"The Illuminati started long before 1776, It has it's roots in the mystery religions which the knights templar perpetuated. In Nimrod's time, Semiramus brought back the mystery religions which were from before the time of Noah. The Illuminati was just a different name by which these same entities existed. They can change their name a thousand times, but the same entities run it."

"The Old Testament is simply the history of how Satan became prince of the world, and caused our first parents to defect from God. It relates how the synagogue of Satan was established on this earth, it tells how it has worked since to prevent God’s Plan for the rule of the universe being established on this earth. Christ came to earth when the conspiracy reached the stage that, to use his own words, Satan controlled all those in high places.

He exposed the synagogue of Satan (Rev. 2:9; 3:9) he denounced those who belonged to it as sons of the devil (Lucifer), whom he castigated as the father of lies (John 8:44) and the prince of deceit (2 Cor. 11:14). He was specific in his statement that those who comprised the synagogue of Satan were those who called themselves Jews, but were not, and did lie (Rev. 2:9; 3:9). He identified the Money-Changers (Bankers) the Scribes, and the Pharisees as the Illuminati of his day.

Illuminati Roots


One group and one group alone is responsible for virtually all wars and bloodshed on the face of this planet. This evil cabal is few in numbers but, like a deadly octopus, its tentacles reach out to grip and strangle untold multitudes of innocent victims. The initiates of every secret society and internationalist organization, from the Council on Foreign Relations and the Jesuits to the Bilderbergers and the Order of Skull & Bones, obey the dictates of this sinister group and tremble when standing before its leaders.

The cabalist group I refer to is the Synagogue of Satan, an ancient, yet modern, elite so politically powerful and so fabulously wealthy that even past history has been twisted, reshaped, and revised to meet its preferred version of humanity's gloomy, totalitarian future.

Religious in nature, the Synagogue of Satan is, at its essence, a grotesque, satanic cult. It's high council is composed of High Priests of Lucifer; these are men who literally worship death while practicing sexual magick and occult rituals of the blackest nature. The Synagogue of Satan

The roots of false religion are anything BUT the same.

The root meaning for the word "religion" (from the original Latin) means to "reconnect with God".

False religion does the exact opposite (see sig).

Religion hides the truth and keeps you disconnected from God.

This is the REASON that Religion is actually the most powerful type of mind control...

God loves, religion hates.

God speaks truth, religion lies.

God creates, religion kills.

The agenda behind false religion is to keep you disconnected from God.


"Today the religions of the world remain a major tool of the Illuminati agenda."

"Every major religion in the world has been manufactured or infiltrated by the Illuminati to enslave and brainwash society. In essence, religion was the first form of mind control. The indoctrination of the masses by a "Trojan Horse" false religion has allowed the Illuminati to take control and work in secret for many, many years." Link

The subject of the whore and the seven hills in Revelations would have to be interpreted using today's (end times) situations . Ultimately I would say the One World Religion will be located in Jerusalem because of the reverence given to that city because of Jesus . The One World Order will establish a world religion that will be against Jesus . A Consensus Religion that gives a false security .
A thing to consider is that there are 7 Continents and the whole world will be affected by the Great Harlot and the waters are "peoples" .
I am sure that as time progresses we will see the true meaning of this prophecy . Rome is nothing compared to the importance of Jerusalem . Christianity began even Jesus died . The Catholic church acquired one of many New Testament copies from those areas already practicing Christianity . They didn't have the only manuscript of the Gospel of Jesus . God did insure the Gospel would proceed past the Vatican . We must not forget that there will be a lot of Saints murdered by the NWO for not denying Christ .

OP, You would do well to get a Geneva or a King James Bible.


"..the Catholic Church has tried for many years to keep the knowledge of the Bible suppressed so it can excerpt it’s authority upon the masses. The documentary is called “Catholic Church – Mother Of Corrupt Bible Versions”.

The minority text promoted by Catholic influenced Wescott and Hort are used in all new translations and are based on the Alexandrian manuscripts. Many have whole sections of scripture taken out.

Will you go to Rome for your Bible?

These are the Bibles the Catholic Church does NOT want you to read.

The Geneva is the Bible brought to America by our forefathers and is actually easier to read and understand than the KJV. The Geneva holds the honor of being the first Bible taken to America, and the Bible of the Pilgrims.

William Tyndale translated from the Textus Receptus and his work stands today as the most accurate of all English bibles.

The Geneva Bible was suppressed in the seventeenth century because of the unflattering comments about the Catholic Church by the “politically correct” King James Version.

James was infuriated by the Geneva Bible, because the marginal notes allowed disobedience to the King and he considered them "seditious", hence, he authorized the King James Version as a substitute.

The Geneva is easier to read and understand than the King James Bible.

Some of the marginal notes of the Geneva Bible are heavily influenced by John Calvin and heretical so be warned. The two links below will explain:

Hmmm...somewhat correct.

Yes the seven continents are the seven hills contaminated by religion.
Our planet is the lady of the bible - the forementioned Harlot.

Jesus taught equality.
He taught that the peasant was as rich as a King - and a King was as poor as a peasant.
He taught that we are equal but that equality was shared with Women...both sexes in
the eyes of our maker are equal!
He taught that you did not need religion to be in contact with God.

His teachings brought him many followers in a very short time.
This new way to see God and mankind scared those in power.
After building a system that controlled the masses, the message of Jesus frightened those
in charge for fear of an uprising and being overthrown and the equality of women.
Those incharge conspired to have Jesus put to death and integrate his teachings
and followers into the already established Christian~Pagan religion.

I dont want to start a fight or a flame war, so I will not name names, but a couple of posters here need to do some historical research on the Bible. Namely how which books are in and which are out (The Eastern Orthodox, Catholic and Protestant sects each use a different Bible).

Research how we got the different Bibles, how who was chosen to do the deciding and when. Where and when it was done and why that was significant. (it is Book of Revelation, not Revelations. Minor point, I know)

And finally, look at the process of selecting writings for the Bible and who benefited. Pay particular attention to what was left out.

If I lay it all out then it just becomes my word amoung many. If you research it yourselves, it becomes your information.

I DARE you to go to Google images and search > dagon mitre pope and prepare for the shock of your life. Learn the TRUTH! Everything Is a LIE!


"The two-horned mitre, which the Pope wears, when he sits on the high altar at Rome and receives the adoration of the Cardinals, is the very mitre worn by the priests of Dagon, the fish-god of the Philistines and Babylonians."

"...there are strong evidences that Dagon was Nimrod.... All scholars agree that the name and worship of Dagon were imported from Babylonia. " - The Two Babylons ; Alexander Hislop; p. 215

Not sure if it started out as a lie or a misconception.

The picture you provided does show the truth, atleast the hidden truth
to the creation story as seen through the eyes of the Sumerians.

The Sumerian Creation myth is indeed the gateway to the biblical truth.

Elijah was taken up on a fiery chariot . Has God used fiery chariots as his means to visit us ? Has Satan used such to deceive us ? Has Satan written many books to deceive us ? The Bible certainly is not one .
God did give us our manuel to live by , but so many look else where. Why?

The original "God Breathed" documents are mistranslated at best.

The bible holds over 2000 pages of which 20 % is God's spoken word.
Of that 20%, 80% of God's spoken word is in Genesis and Revelations.
20% of 2000 pages is 400.
80% of 400 leaves approximately 80 pages of what God taught for us to
find our way through life and back to him.
That leaves alot to be mistranslated, hidden and out right forged by those
wishing to keep mankind enslaved.

As an avid researcher of mankinds ancient history, I find many Sumerian stories
incorporated or written over throughout the Bible.

If you read a 'story/psalm' within the Bible and it doesn't directly lead back to
the Ten Commandments of God, then it is of my personal oppinion that the
particular passage in question needs intensive scrutinizing.

the great red dragon of revelation has multiple meanings. i think one of the meanings is derived from its description as to its appearance -- red+dragon, which could potentially mean clay+iron. the iron scales of a dragon's armor on the clay of a man's body. or rather, in the clay of a man's body. or even more specifically, a hybrid human-dragon (reptilian perhaps)
