The Anti islamic Film trigger the sleeping rage of the Children of the East

The Bible says in  Geneses 16: ⁷ And the angel of the Lord found her by a fountain of water in the wilderness, by the fountain in the way to Shur. ⁸ And he said, Hagar, Sarai's maid, whence camest thou? and whither wilt thou go? And she said, I flee from the face of my mistress Sarai.⁹ And the angel of the Lord said unto her, Return to thy mistress, and submit thyself under her hands. ¹⁰ And the angel of the Lord said unto her, I will multiply thy seed exceedingly, that it shall not be numbered for multitude. ¹¹ And the angel of the Lord said unto her, Behold, thou art with child and shalt bear a son, and shalt call his name Ishmael; because the Lord hath heard thy affliction. ¹² And he will be a wild man; his hand will be against every man, and every man's hand against him; and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren.

Ambassador Chris Stevens killed in Libya

First of its a great tragedy when a life is lost. Condolences to the ambassador's family.
The events that occurred recently though tragic are all wheels within a wheel. What i mean is they are all events within bigger events in larger prophetic events.See Ezekiel's wheels in the vision of Ezekiel.
Bible prophecy if we can put aside preconceive ideas at the door of investigation is plainly spelt out. But like parables The honest, those who desire to know more about God and walk in His favour will search as for hidden treasures the things that are to come shown in figures and symbols. Bible reveals much,but not for news sake or for telling the future,but for preparation of the soul. Preparation for salvation and the coming of the King. Christ Himself.

There will be more blood the bible shows violence increasing to a startling degree where the hearts of men will melt it is coming and it hasten greatly coming  Zephaniah 1:14,15,16,17,18.

Islam fulfilling its Role in Prophecy
The children of the East ,the sons of Ishmael as shown in times past on this blog will do their appointed work as described in Revelation chapter 9 and chapters 11 and Revelation chapters 9 Verse 11.. We are now witnessing an empowered Islamic mindset from the Arab spring emerging.Note Abbadon and Apollyon (Rev 9:11) means Destruction or Destroyer. Couple this with the prophecy pronounced by the Bible in   Genesis 16:10,11,12.. Which Shows the Sons of  Ishmael, the Children of the East by Nature is a "wild man" .His hands will be against every man and every man's hand will be against him.  In other words, Islam will bring the whole world together against them. 
Revelation chapter 9 shows
1. Revelation 9: 2 They block out the Sun ,Bible shows the Christ is the Sun of Righteousness Malachi 4:2.
2. Revelation  9: 2 They affect the Air , Bible shows the Air or the Wind is likened unto the Spirit of God.John 3:8.

3. The Sun and Air is darkened. what's left in the Heavens is only Moon and Star. That's the Symbol of Islam
4. They are like Locust. Revelation 9:3 Are many and destructive
Psalm 105:34.
5. Horses prepare unto battle Revelation 9:7 .Fearless great army.

6. Hair like women.The Saracens Army from the Pit= Abussos( ABYSS) =Arabian Desert had long hair in Turbans wound up like Crowns upon their heads . The Bible gives no colourful symbols for any people or person as it does for Islam. The whole study could be found in the link below entitled Islam in Bible prophecy.

It was propose before on this very site that the Arab Spring will and has empowered this people.  Very soon we will witness unleashed on this earth as far as Bible shows a time of trouble such as never was as proven in Daniel 12:1, among the strife that will be on the earth is violence and destruction from warfare. The children of the East will be one of the major proponent and participator in these final wars,the whole world will come against THEM Gen16:12. All these events will come upon the earth before the coming of the Lord and before international laws are pass against all threatening( fundamental religion). Religion will be brought under one umbrella ,this of course will be the one of the bases beside buying and selling (financial crisis) for the Issuing of a Sunday Law first in America then through out the world. Another factor that will bring all Religions together and hasten the passing of the Law the mark of the Beast (Sunday Worship the Beast of Revelation 13, 17 mark) will be the calamity by land and sea. We see these events coming upon the earth as we speak. Earthquakes, fires, floods, Desease (Pestilence) of every kind  has and will increase with intensity and frequency.

 A more detail study of Islam the 1st 2nd and 3rd Woe could be be found here Islam in Bible prophecy.
God never leaves the inhabitants of this earth with prior warning. We are living in the great day of the Lord where certain events has begun to transpire .Sept 11,2001 was a marker in time for all Christians to take note and look up. It is also warning to all showing what is coming upon the earth with rapidity.

The falling of the towers( Isaiah 30:25),the financial Crisis James 5 are all great events that mark the closing time of Human probation. 
Its good time to give  your life wholly to Christ.what is coming upon the earth  who would be able to stand ? is the question. We can only stand with the Character of Christ and out sins forgiven.
IT IS TIME.

Imagining the Unthinkable The Disastrous Consequences of a Euro Crash

REUTERS

As the debt crisis worsens in Spain and Italy, financial experts are warning of the catastrophic consequences of a crash of the euro: the destruction of trillions in assets and record high unemployment levels, even in Germany. By SPIEGEL Staff

It wasn't long ago that Mario Draghi was spreading confidence and good cheer. "The worst is over," the head of the European Central Bank (ECB) told Germany's Bild newspaper only a few weeks ago. The situation in the euro zone had "stabilized," Draghi said, and "investor confidence was returning." And because everything seemed to be on track, Draghi even accepted a Prussian spiked helmet from the reporters. Hurrah.

Last week, however, Europe's chief monetary watchdog wasn't looking nearly as happy in photos taken in front of a circle of blue-and-yellow stars inside the Euro Tower, the ECB's Frankfurt headquarters, where he was congratulating the winners of an international student contest. He smiled, shook hands and handed out certificates. But what he had to tell his listeners no longer sounded optimistic. Instead, Draghi sounded deeply concerned and even displayed a touch of resignation. "You are the first generation that has grown up with the euro and is no longer familiar with the old currencies," he said. "I hope we won't experience them again." The fact that Europe's top central banker is no longer willing to rule out a return to the old national currencies shows how serious the situation is. Until recently, it was seen as a sign of political correctness to not even consider the possibility of a euro collapse. But now that the currency dispute has escalated in Europe, the inconceivable is becoming conceivable, at all levels of politics and the economy.
Collapse of Currency a 'Very Likely Scenario'
Investment experts at Deutsche Bank now feel that a collapse of the common currency is "a very likely scenario." German companies are preparing themselves for the possibility that their business contacts in Madrid and Barcelona could soon be paying with pesetas again. And in Italy, former Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi is thinking of running a new election campaign, possibly this year, on a return-to-the-lira platform.
Nothing seems impossible anymore, not even a scenario in which all members of the currency zone dust off their old coins and bills -- bidding farewell to the euro, and instead welcoming back the guilder, deutsche mark and drachma.
It would be a dream for nationalist politicians, and a nightmare for the economy. Everything that has grown together in two decades of euro history would have to be painstakingly torn apart. Millions of contracts, business relationships and partnerships would have to be reassessed, while thousands of companies would need protection from bankruptcy. All of Europe would plunge into a deep recession. Governments, which would be forced to borrow additional billions to meet their needs, would face the choice between two unattractive options: either to drastically increase taxes or to impose significant financial burdens on their citizens in the form of higher inflation.
A horrific scenario would become a reality, a prospect so frightening that it ought to convince every European leader to seek a consensus as quickly as possible. But there can be no talk of consensus today. On the contrary, as the economic crisis worsens in southern Europe, the fronts between governments are only becoming more rigid.
The Italians and Spaniards want Germany to issue stronger guarantees for their debts. But the Germans are only willing to do so if all euro countries transfer more power to Brussels -- steps the southern member states, for their part, don't want to take.
The Patient Is Getting Worse
The discussion has been going in circles for months, which is why the continent's debtor countries continue to squander confidence, among both the international financial markets and their citizens. No matter what medicine European politicians prescribe, the patient isn't getting any better. In fact, it's only getting worse.
For weeks, investors and experts demanded a solution to the Spanish banking crisis, preferably in the form of a cash infusion from the two Luxembourg-based European bailout funds, the European Financial Stability Facility (EFSF) and the European Stability Mechanism (ESM). When Madrid finally decided to request what could ultimately amount to almost €100 billion ($125 billion), the experts realized that this would suddenly send Spain's government debt shooting up from 70 to 80 percent. As a result, interest rates started rising instead of falling.
The experience of the last few days describes the entire dilemma faced by European politicians trying to rescue the euro: A step that was intended to provide relief only exacerbated the problem.
The same thing happened with the next proposal, which made the rounds last week. Italian Prime Minister Mario Monti wanted the European bailout funds to intervene on behalf of Spain and Italy to bring down their borrowing costs.
But that would have required the affected countries to submit to a program of reforms, a path Monti and his Spanish counterpart, Mariano Rajoy, want to avoid. They would prefer to have the money without conditions. But the German government is unwilling to accept this, which puts Europe at its next impasse. Furthermore, the rescue strategists' resources are limited. Although the Luxembourg bailout funds still have more than €600 billion in uncommitted resources, it is already clear that the money would be used up quickly if what many experts now believe is unavoidable came to pass, namely that not just the Spanish banking industry but in fact the entire country required a bailout. The bailout funds would be completely overtaxed if Italy also needed help.
Even ECB Has Largely Exhausted Resources
Until now, the defenders of the euro have been able to resort to the massive funds of the ECB, if necessary. If things got tight, the monetary watchdogs could inject new money into the market.

But now even the ECB has largely exhausted its resources. It has already bought up so much of the sovereign debt of ailing countries that any additional shopping spree threatens to backfire, causing interest rates to explode instead of fall. At the same time, the conflict between Northern and Southern Europe in the ECB Governing Council is heating up. Last week, the head of Spain's central bank managed to convince the ECB to ease its rules to allow Spanish banks to use even weaker collateral than before in exchange for borrowing money from the ECB. This could set off a tiff with the central bankers from the donor countries, who are loath to look on as the risks in the central bank's balance sheet continue to grow. Indeed, the European leaders seeking to save the euro are in a race against the clock. The question is whether the economy in Southern Europe will recover before the euro rescuers' tools are exhausted, or whether it will be too late by the time the recovery arrives. It's a question of growth and the economy, but also of character. How willing are the Spaniards and Italians to accept reforms and hardship, and how willing, on the other hand, are the donor countries of the north to provide assistance and make sacrifices?
Not willing enough, say many experts. As a result, the world is imagining the unthinkable: the withdrawal of several Southern European countries from the monetary union, or possibly even the general collapse of the euro zone. It isn't easy to predict how such a tornado would affect the global economy, but it's clear that the damage would be immense.

A Message from the past from someone sent to show us the Future

Written before 1914 the following quote reads better than BBC,CNN or any other Main Stream news.
Ellen White was a messenger from God.

"The present is a time of overwhelming interest to all living. Rulers and statesmen, men who occupy positions of trust and authority, thinking men and women of all classes, have their attention fixed upon the events taking place about us. They are watching the relations that exist among the nations. They observe the intensity that is taking possession of every earthly element and they recognize that something great and decisive is about to take place—that the world is on the verge of a stupendous crisis.—Prophets and Kings, 537 (c. 1914). – {LDE 11.1} – LDE 11.1

The Economic Collapse Is Not A Single Event

Many people hype "the coming economic collapse" as if it is some kind of big summer Hollywood blockbuster.  Many people out there write about it as if it is something that will happen in a single day or over a few weeks and that it will suddenly change how the entire world functions.  But that is not how the financial world works.  The financial world is like a game of chess - very slow and methodical.  Yes, there are times when things happen very quickly (like back in 2008), but even that crisis played out over a number of months.  Sadly, most Americans are not used to thinking in terms of months or years.  These days, most Americans have the attention span of a goldfish and most Americans have been trained to expect instant gratification.  They are simply not accustomed to being patient and to wait for things.  Well, despite what you may have read, the economic collapse is not going to be a single event.  It is going to play out over quite a few years.  In some ways we are experiencing an economic collapse right now.  When the next major financial crisis occurs, many will be calling that "an economic collapse".  But if you really want to grasp what is happening to us, you need to think long-term.  We are heading for a complete and total nightmare, but it is going to take some time to get to the end of the story.
Yes, there will certainly be times of great chaos.  The financial crisis of 2008 was one of those moments.
But the financial crisis of 2008 did not completely destroy us.
Neither will the next crisis.
I think it is helpful to think of what is happening to us as a series of waves.
When you build a beautiful sand castle on the beach, the first wave that comes in does not totally destroy it.
Rather, the first wave weakens the castle and it is destroyed by subsequent waves.
Well, that is what is happening to us.
The financial crisis of 2008 was a wave.
The epicenter of the next great financial crisis will be in Europe and that will be another wave.
For many, the next financial crisis will feel like "the end of the world" but it won't be.
There will be waves after that one that will be even worse.
Yes, the waves are going to start coming more rapidly and will start becoming more intense.
In that way, they will kind of be like birth pains.
But these problems did not build up overnight and they are not going to disappear overnight either.
A lot of people that write about the coming economic collapse seem to suggest that we should just let it happen so that the "recovery" can begin.
Unfortunately, it is not going to be so simple.
It took decades to build up a national debt of almost 16 trillion dollars.
It took decades for American consumers to build up the greatest consumer debt bubble in the history of the world.
It took decades to gut the economic infrastructure of the United States and ship millions of our jobs overseas.
These problems are going to plague us for a very long time.
Sadly, a lot of people out there seem to wish for an economic apocalypse.  They seem to think that if the global financial system crashes that the government is going to disappear and we are going to start fighting with each other using sharp pointed sticks.
Well, it simply is not going to happen.
The U.S. government is not going to help you survive when things hit the fan, but it is not going to disappear either.
In fact, the federal government will probably try to grab more power than ever in an attempt to "restore order".
The governments of Europe are not going to disappear either.  In fact, in the long run Europe is probably going to end up more "federalized" than ever even if the euro breaks up in the short run.
A lot of people out there seem to think that when the old system collapses that it will give them an opportunity to help put in a new system.
Sorry, but that is not going to happen either.
The powers that be are going to have their own ideas about what needs to happen.
They never like to let a good crisis go to waste, and they will certainly try to use every crisis to shape the world even more in their own image.
The coming economic collapse is going to play out over a number of years and it is going to be absolutely horrible.
Billions of people will deeply suffer because of it.
It will be unlike anything any of us have ever seen.
Personally, I believe that it will eventually be much worse than the Great Depression of the 1930s.
The United States is going to get hit particularly hard.  The United States is going to lose its position as the leading economic power on the globe and the U.S. dollar is going to lose its position as the default reserve currency of the world.
If you thought that the unemployment crisis during the last recession was bad, just wait until you see what is coming.
We are heading for a complete and total unemployment nightmare in the United States.  Unemployment is eventually going to soar well up into the double digits.
The U.S. government will try a wide variety of measures to try to "fix" things, and some will likely have some limited success.
But the debt-fueled prosperity that we are all enjoying now is going to come to an end.
Many communities all over America will degenerate into rotting cesspools.
There are going to be riots in our major cities, crime and looting will be absolutely rampant and it will seem like society is coming apart at the seams.
The U.S. government will likely respond by becoming more authoritarian than ever, and that will truly be frightening.
But all of this is going to play out over time.
Right now, things are not as good as they were five years ago.
A couple of years from now, things will be even worse.  Many of us will look back and wish that we could return to the "good old days" of 2011 and 2012.
We are on a decline that is not going to stop.  There will be little false bubbles of hope like we are in now, but they won't last long.
But just because the economy is falling apart does not mean that your life is over.  Many that are busy preparing right now will be greatly blessed even in the middle of all the chaos.
And it is when things are the darkest that the greatest lights are needed.
Make the decision right now to be a light during the times ahead.
You can choose to let the times that are coming destroy you, or you can choose to make them the greatest adventure of your life.
The choice is up to you.

The truth about the Eucharist

The International Eucharistic Congress 2012 

Is this a Christian event?

By Richard Bennett

      A major news item across the Catholic world for the summer of 2012 is that the International Eucharistic Congress (IEC) is to be held in Dublin, Ireland from June 10^th – 17^th.  The Congress is expected to attract 25,000 people a day, including “12,000 international pilgrims representing 99 different countries.”[1]  Just what is a Eucharistic Congress?  A Catholic source replies,

“It is a gathering of Catholics – priests, religious and laity who come together to express their devotion for the Holy Eucharist...The International Congresses are usually 3-5 years apart, which allows for preparation, as they are always held worldwide.  Catholics come from all over the world to participate in the ceremonies and to celebrate Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament. ...All believers – clergy, religious and laity line the streets following the Blessed Sacrament.”[2]

Thus it appears that many Catholics take it as fact that the Lord Jesus Christ is present in what they call the “Holy Eucharist.”  The Church of Rome teaches all its adherents this very basic Catholic dogma,

“The mode of Christ’s presence under the Eucharistic species is unique…In the most blessed sacrament of the Eucharist ‘the body and blood, together with the soul and divinity, of our Lord Jesus Christ and, therefore, the whole Christ is truly, really, and substantially contained.’”[3]

Thus has the Papacy proclaimed that its Eucharist under the form of bread contains the Lord’s identical body, soul and deity.  They claim all of the bread, except the appearances, is transformed into Christ in His Godhead, and in His manhood with all its component parts: soul, body, blood, bones, flesh, nerves, muscles, veins, and sinews.  What a horrific insult this notion is—for it both ridicules Jesus Christ the Lord and deceives people, defrauding them of the truth.  Our Lord spoke about such a blasphemy as this when He forewarned, “if any man shall say to you, lo, here is Christ; or, lo, he is there; believe him not.”[4]  In contrast to the Catholic teaching, the truth is declared in the Scriptures, “This same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.”[5]  There is a day appointed in which the Lord will physically return in like manner to His ascension.  One must not expect Him to return until that appointed day when “he will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God.”[6]  Consequently, to propose that the glorious Lord Jesus Christ has come back to earth in the lifeless form of bread is an attempt to replace the preaching of the biblical Gospel with a mere physical connection to a Roman Catholic sacrament. 

Rome endeavors to prove its Eucharistic Dogma by citing Chapter 6 of the Gospel of John

Persistently the Church of Rome asserts as fact its dogma that Christ is actually present in its sacrament.  For example, it states, “It is by the conversion of the bread and wine into Christ’s body and blood that Christ becomes present in this sacrament.”[7]  This dogma is necessary to support another unbiblical premise, “Life in Christ has its foundation in the Eucharistic banquet.”  The proof text they use is, “As the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, so he who eats me will live because of me (John 6:57).”[8]  According to Catholic teaching, “The principal fruit of receiving the Eucharist in Holy Communion is an intimate union with Christ Jesus.”  The proof text attached to their reasoning is, “He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him” (John 6:56).

Moreover, the Vatican goes so far as to state that the Lord Himself urges us to receive Him in the sacrament of the Eucharist.  They officially state,

“The Lord addresses an invitation to us, urging us to receive him in the sacrament of the Eucharist:  ‘Truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you have no life in you’” (John 6:53).[9]

The alleged change of bread and wine—into the actual body and blood of the Lord—the Vatican calls “transubstantiation.”  Thus, they state,

“By the consecration the transubstantiation of the bread and wine into the Body and Blood of Christ is brought about.”[10]

The change that is claimed to happen by transubstantiation is dumbfounding.  The Lord is said to exist on earth, not as man, but as bread and wine.  The Papacy claims to be in possession and control of elements in which He presumably is contained.  Its law goes so far as to say that their “Eucharistic Christ” is to be “locked in” the tabernacle.[11]

What is so mind-boggling is Aristotelian physics on which the concept of transubstantiation is based has long been disproven, yet the thirteenth century idolatrous dogma is still the centerpiece of the Catholic sacramental system.[12]  Thus, it is still taught and practiced in every Catholic Church and parish worldwide.       

The Factual meaning of John 6 vis-à-vis Catholic dogma

“Life in Christ” does not “have its foundation in the Eucharistic banquet.”  Neither is “an intimate union with Christ Jesus” any part of the “Eucharist of Holy Communion.”  To buttress its argument, however, Rome cites quotations from John 6 as proof texts.  The particular verses have been wrenched out of their biblical context, which will not support the Catholic interpretation, and carefully placed within the Catholic Tradition.  The effect is to give a superficial but deceptive credence to the humanist reasoning that is the real foundation of Catholic dogma.  Since there can be no synthesis between the authority of the Bible and the authority and Catholic Tradition, the Vatican must ignore the true meaning of what the Lord clearly stated in Chapter 6. 

Earlier in the chapter, the Lord taught that our spiritual desire as believers is not “for the meat which perisheth,” but rather “for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life” (John 6:27).  When the Jews asked the Lord, “what shall we do, that we might work the works of God?” (John 6:28), He answered, “This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent” (John 6:29).  This answer sets the stage for what was to come.  Believing on Him alone whom the Father has sent is central to what Christ Jesus proclaimed, for “There is one Mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.”[13]  On the authority of the Bible alone, to believe on Christ Jesus alone, by God’s grace alone, through faith alone, is the foundation of life in Christ.

Christ Jesus also explained the standard by which His teaching was to be understood.  He said, “it is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.”[14]  His words are to be understood spiritually, and not after a physical and literal manner.  He is the true food of the soul by faith, not of the stomach by digestion, which is implicit in Catholic teaching on the Eucharist.  The Lord’s teaching is so clear that He equates spiritual thirst with believing on Him, “he that believeth on me shall never thirst” (John 6:53).  “And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life” (John 6:40). 

Then the Lord explains that, “The bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world” (John 6: 51).  His flesh He gave willingly in His sacrifice, declaring, “verily, verily I say unto you, except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you” (John 6:53).  This speaks of the essential requirement of faith alone in the Lord Jesus Christ alone.  The issue is so serious that if one does not trust in the Lord’s sacrifice alone on the cross, he does not have eternal life.  Eating the flesh and drinking the blood of the Son of man is a metaphor that signifies spiritually trusting on the Lord in His sacrifice.  Christ Jesus accomplished all the benefits of redemption: pardon from sin, acceptance with God, the adoption as children of God, access to the throne of grace, and eternal life.  Receiving this by faith alone is aptly called eating His flesh and drinking His blood.  Eating His flesh and drinking His blood is being totally identified with Him by faith alone.  His sacrificial death must be appropriated by faith alone, if men are to be saved.  “Eating and drinking” is equivalent to “believing” and confirms the central theme of what He proclaimed which He summarized as, “He that believeth on me hath everlasting life ” (John 6:47).  Everlasting life is not a product of an institutional ritual but a work of God the Holy Spirit by His sovereign power.  Individual, personal faith is what the Lord requires.  It is this faith alone, given by God’s grace alone, which brings the forgiveness of sins when sinners believe on the Lord Jesus Christ alone for everlasting life.  The Apostle Paul clearly states the evidence of one having received Christ as Savior and Lord, “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.”[15] 

The New Testament says nothing about looking to physical signs to have union with Christ.  Rather, believers are to look, “unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith.”[16]  He is the Author and Finisher of their faith: its beginning and end.  Rome’s sacraments look to physical rituals for life.  Thus, the sacrament of the Eucharist cannot deliver the “intimate union with Christ Jesus,” which purportedly is its principal fruit.  Just as Buddhists look to their votive offerings before a statue Buddha for enlightenment, so also Catholics look to worship before a piece of bread for spiritual life.  But Jesus prayed to His Father in the garden for those who are His own through God’s grace alone and who believe on Him alone through faith alone, “Sanctify them through thy truth:  Thy word is truth.”[17]  There can be no compromise of the truth with the traditions and imaginations of men, as the Catholic Church has sought to do. 

Obligation to Worship the Eucharist

In spite of the clarity of the Lord’s teaching, Rome disregards Scripture, the evidence of the senses, and reason itself when they teach on the Eucharist.  The eternal, glorious Lord is now seated on high.  To propose a Christ that, in the words of the Vatican, is in “danger of decomposition,”[18] is to put forward a fallacious Christ.  As Mediator and Redeemer, the Lord Jesus Christ is endowed with the highest dignity, honor, and authority.  He also is “the same yesterday, today and forever.”[19]  A claimed presence of Christ in bread that could decompose is totally unrealistic and foolish; worse, it is blasphemous.  Despite that, the Church of Rome strongly commands that the bread is to receive the worship due to the true God.  Thus, she declares,

“There should be no doubt in anyone’s mind ‘that all the faithful ought to show to this most holy sacrament the worship which is due to the true God, as has always been the custom of the Catholic Church.  Nor is it to be adored any the less because it was instituted by Christ to be eaten.’”[20]

It is an irrational and impious doctrine that by necessity imposes worship of something that is eaten and carried into the stomach.  Not without the dreadful crime of idolatry can the worship due to God alone be transferred to the communion bread.  Nevertheless, on April 7, 2012, the Pope himself spoke about the Host being God as he said, “Today we are invited to fix our gaze on the consecrated Host: it is the same God!  The same Love!”[21]  In fact, the Pope and his Church have “changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image … changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator.”[22] 

“This Sham of a Congress”

The Catholic priest Kevin Doran, the Secretary General of IEC, describes what he has called, “this sham of a congress.”  The exact context and Kevin Doran’s words are the following, 

A unique element of the 50^th International Eucharistic Congress, which will take place in Dublin from June 10^th - 17^th 2012, is the extensive involvement of Christians of other traditions in both the pastoral preparation and the official programme for the Congress week … Fr. Kevin Doran (Secretary General of IEC2012) commented that, ‘historically, there has been a tendency for Catholics to use the word ‘conversion’ as if it only applied to other people …The principal liturgy on this first full day of the Congress, will be a ‘Liturgy of Word and Water’ celebrated by Most Rev. Michael Jackson (Church of Ireland Archbishop of Dublin).  The homily will be preached by Metropolitan Hilarion Alfeyev of the Russian Orthodox Church.  Meanwhile Brother Alois Löser, prior of Taizé will give the Catechesis (or teaching) on the theme of Baptism.  Other significant ecumenical interventions during the week include: Rev Nicky Gumble, of Alpha International, who will address the theme of reconciliation, and a presentation by Rev Ruth Patterson, Director of Restoration Ministries, on being ‘Companions on the Journey’ of faith.  Prof William Reville will give an address entitled ‘Celebrating the Mystery of Life’.  Then tell me if I’m going too far when I say I do not believe that any of those involved in organising this alleged Eucharistic Congress believe in Transubstantiation, and they certainly do not believe that the Catholic Church is necessary for salvation.  Not for a second.  And something else.  As far as I know the Pope is unlikely to visit Ireland for this sham of a congress…the reader who alerted me to this latest scandal asked if I thought the Pope knows what he is “walking into”…I really don’t care what he knows or doesn’t know.  If I can work out that the Church is in dire straits and souls are being lost through all this ridiculous ecumenism, why can’t HE work it out?[23]  

Indeed, while Kevin Doran vehemently disapproves of the Pope’s ecumenical agenda, vis-à-vis the Congress, it is clear that Doran believes very strongly in transubstantiation and that there is no salvation outside the Catholic Church.  For Doran, it is too much that the Pope would defile something as solemn and treasured as the Eucharistic Congress by allowing these ecumenical intrusions. 

      In fact, the wily Pope has his own agenda.  He has purposely chosen ranking leaders of other churches and important groups for this very Roman Catholic occasion.  Pope Benedict understands how such an honor can help soften opposition and smooth over dogmatic differences.  The IEC is to be a highly visible public event.  How better to demonstrate to the world that other major churches and religious groups are joining with Rome?  If it were otherwise, how could they be participating in the liturgy of this very Roman Catholic ritual?  This showy event provides yet another occasion that can be used to advance the present Catholic-driven narrative that Catholics are Christians. 

      It has ever been the objective of the Papacy to gather power unto itself.  If devout but lesser men like Kevin Doran are offended and confused when their own leaders trample their primary beliefs, it means nothing to the Pope.  Rather, the primary objective of the Papacy is to gather all Christendom to the Catholic Eucharist.[24]  Pope Benedict XVI is simply staying true to course.

What Hope is there for Religiously Devout Idolaters?

Because God’s justice had to be satisfied, the Lord Jesus drank the dregs of the cup of God’s wrath.  He said, “The cup which my Father hath given me, shall I not drink it?”[25]  In the garden of Gethsemane He proclaimed the words, “My soul is exceeding sorrowful unto death: tarry ye here, and watch ... And he said, Abba, Father, all things are possible unto thee; take away this cup from me: nevertheless not what I will, but what thou wilt.”[26]  The next day, on the cross of Calvary, the Lord Jesus drank all of the cup of God’s wrath.  At the height of His suffering, He appealed to His Father, “and at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying …  my God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me.”[27]  Thus, the Lord Jesus utterly drank of God’s wrath against sin and finally cried out, “it is finished.”[28]  Consequently, the tremendous wrath and curse due to believing sinners was paid in full by the Lord Jesus Christ.  As the substitute for His believing people, the Lord drank the cup of God’s wrath.  Now in the Gospel, the sinless Lord presents to sinners His finished sacrifice.  If you are anxious to be right with God, look at what the Scripture proclaims, “But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested.”[29]  This means that God has provided another way to be made righteous than through the law, and that is through faith in Jesus Christ alone.  The moral perfection of God is imputed to us sinners, but only as we believe in Jesus Christ alone whose own body was sacrificed on Calvary as substitution for us.  Indeed, we are all sinners deserving the wrath of God, but the glory and the magnificence of the Gospel is further proclaimed as “being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus.”[30]  Believing sinners are justified freely by God’s grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus.  The Lord God of heaven draws sinners to Jesus Christ’s righteousness.  This is the only hope for religiously devout idolaters.  As Scripture proclaims for sinners, “for He hath made Him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him.”[31]  The consequence of Christ’s faithfulness in all that He did, culminating in His death on the cross, is that His righteousness is credited to the believing sinner.  It was God who legally constituted Christ to be “sin for us.”  He was “made sin” because before the All Holy God, full payment for sin had to be made.  Thus, the sins of all His people were transferred to Christ Jesus; and in like manner, His faithfulness is imputed to them.[32]  Since it is the nature of the Triune God to be gracious, we can expect Him to move as a result of our prayer and of our making known abroad the Gospel of grace before, during, and after the Eucharistic Congress of 2012, “to the praise of the glory of his grace.”[33]

Conclusion

The Papal Church purports to be worshipping Christ as it legislates the adoration of the Eucharistic bread.  This is not simply unchristian; it is gross idolatry.  Scripturally speaking, Jesus Christ is worthy to receive adoration.  He Himself declared, “I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.”[34]  Thus, He is worthy of our worship.  Round the throne of God in heaven it is proclaimed, “Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.”[35]  Furthermore, the Scripture reveals how gracious Christ is.  It is He who “dwelt among us, full of grace and truth.”[36]  Grace comes only by Christ, “Grace and truth came by Christ Jesus,” “and of his fullness have all we received, and grace for grace.”[37]  Not only do we adore Him as totally gracious, but we draw deeply from His grace.  Christ Jesus came to give His life for the people whom He loves.  His life and death are not only for our salvation, they are also the source for our living fruitful Christian lives.  Moreover, as He says, His words are spirit and life.  His words are to be taken into the believing mind and heart even as physical food is taken into the physical body.  The Lord’s words, having been absorbed by the mind and believing heart, give life and strength, spiritual nourishment, to the believer so that he is able to do that for which the Lord calls him.[38] 

The Lord declared, “This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.”[39]  The commandment fits the whole characteristic of the grace of Christ.  We love one another by means of His love.  Christ Jesus’ death is not just held up as an example, but as the source of our love.  It is clearly the model of our love, but most importantly, it is the means for us to show our love for our brothers.  Thus, it is only as His love is perfected in us that we can love one another in the same manner as Christ loved the church.  “No one has seen God at any time.  If we love one another, God abides in us, and his love has been perfected in us.”[40]  His love accomplishes what it was designed and adapted to do, to be the power by which we love one another.  We love by means of His faithfulness and His love. 

Consequently, we adore Christ Jesus while at the same time drawing grace from Him.  How utterly different this is from the blasphemous pagan worship of the Eucharist bread during the Eucharistic Congress.  Because Jesus Christ is worthy of all praise, adoration of Him must be apart from all deceitfulness.  As Scripture states, “God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.”[41]  The Apostle John summarizes the believer’s position in Jesus Christ,

“And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ.  This is the true God, and eternal life.  Little children, keep yourselves from idols.  Amen.”[42]  ♦
