The Only Church Jesus Founded ruled Christendom during “The Thousand Year Reign” described in Rev 20. From 500 to 1,500 AD, The Church received, in today’s money, trillions of dollars in property, money, and valuables. That wealth became a target for those who wanted to be “Christian Ministers” without having to take those pesky Vows of Celibacy and Obedience.
The Church’s influence on thinking about the importance of God and saving one’s soul was a target for “the Godless Protestants”.
Freemasons, levelers, socialists, and other enlightened revolutionaries did not bother trying to fracture The Church with their little schisms. The goal of the Godless Protestants was to replace the entire truth that He Who Fulfilled the Prophecies had actually Embodied in The Only Church Jesus Founded.
The Prophecy of John in Rev 20: 1-5 foretold Luther, Calvin, and the obvious Protestants. It includes the Godless Protestants, opportunists who wanted no belief in God at all.
“Then, I saw an angel come down from Heaven with the key of the Abyss in his hand and an enormous chain. He overpowered the dragon, that primeval serpent which is the devil and Satan, and chained him up for a thousand years. He threw him into the abyss, and shut the entrance and sealed it over him, to make sure he would not deceive the nations again until the thousand years had passed. At the end of that time, he must be released, but only for a short time.”
We are now about five hundred years into the “short time” after the dragon has been loosed. A handful of early Protestants have metastasized into 43,000 Pastor Bobs. Each has built his very own “Ladder to Heaven” in denominational form. In the same 500 years, groups of the Godless Protestants have elevated their self and state centered theories, doctrines and activities into replacements for any belief in God at all.
One of the odd notions of Catholic Fundamentalism may help some see more clearly how things are centered on God and His Church.
“The Loving Programmer has written and downloaded The Creation Program out of a wide variety of 3-D pixels. 3-D pixels form the elements, often combining into compounds. Some programs produce dead energy. Plant and animal programs produce replicating energy. Each of His beloved Free Will Programs downloads spirit, mind, and body around their soul at the moment of conception. Actions and decisions made by Free Will Programs during their days in the clay coalesce into beliefs, decisions, movements, and governments. Those humble enough to see through the clouds may know and obey His Operating Instructions sufficiently to spend eternity with Him. The others are lost, endlessly tortured by the corrupting viruses of the abyss.”
