Claiming to be the successor to St Peter

 $Account.OrganizationName






Monday's surprising announcement by Pope Benedict XVI that he was resigning from the papacy struck some observers like a bolt out of the blue.  And a few hours later, an actual bolt of lightning struck St. Peter's Basilica, the centerpiece of the Vatican and one of the holiest sites in Christendom, NBC News reported. Was the lightning strike, coming just hours after Pope Benedict's announcement, evidence of God's wrath, or some ominous sign from above? Speculation over the resignation has focused on increasing pressure over the Vatican’s decades’ long protection of priests committing child abuse, the growing scandal over Vatican banking and finances, and intense infighting between the conservative and progressive wings of the Catholic Church. A Catholic saint has even been cited who prophesized that there would be a final Pope before the dissolution of the Catholic Church. According to this prophecy the next Pope will be the last.

The Vatican's cardinals were getting ready to leave a meeting to discuss three canonisations, chaired by Pope Benedict XVI, when he announced, in Latin, that he had one other bit of business to attend to. From his throne-like chair on a purple dais in the Sala del Concistoro, part of the Apostolic Palace, he quietly told his “fratres carissimi”, or “dear brothers”, that he needed to “communicate to you a decision of great importance for the life of the Church”. Having examined his conscience, he said, he had “come to the certainty that my strengths, due to an advanced age, are no longer suited to an adequate exercise of the Petrine ministry”. His “mind and body” were failing him, and in consequence he had decided to “renounce the ministry of the Bishop of Rome, Successor of Saint Peter”. The 265th Pope had just become the first in 598 years to resign. Angelo Sodano, dean of the College of Cardinals, who said it had come as a “bolt from the blue” when he was told.

Just who is the Pope? The word Pope means “Father”. He claims to the “Holy Father”, and the successor to St Peter. They believe that Christ said he would build his Church on St Peter – they track the tradition of the office of Pope back to St Peter. Therefore they say this is proof the Pope represents God on earth. Catholicism is the true Church.
But Jesus never said he would build his church on Peter. In Matthew 16:16 Peter says that Jesus was the Christ and son of God. In verse 18 Jesus says “thou art Peter” and upon the rock  of Peter’s statement he (Jesus) would build the church. Peter in fact means a small rolling stone. Christ did not build his church on that. He built it on himself. A ROCK. A huge unmoveable rock cliff. Rome is built on a pebble not a rock.



“and all drank the same spiritual drink; for they drank of the spiritual rock that followed them, and that rock was christ.” (1 Corinthians 10:4 MKJV)

 “16 and Simon Peter answered and said, you are the christ, the son of the living god. 17 jesus answered and said to him, you are blessed, Simon, son of Jonah, for flesh and blood did not reveal [it] to you, but my father in heaven. 18 and I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and [the] gates of hell shall not prevail against it.” (Matthew 16:16-18 MKJV)


Peter = Petros (a single stone)   Rock  = Petra (solid formation like a cliff)
The church (ecclesia) was built on Peter’s statement NOT on Peter. The Pope is WRONG.

So what do we make of this sudden and totally unexpected resignation of the Pope?
Well the Bible has a lot to say about “the Pope” and therefore we can expect God’s hand is behind this. God puts in power all the rulers of the world and there is no greater worldly ruler than the Pope. The Bible describes the role of the Pope in Daniel 7:8  - the Pope is the “little horn” that speaks great things against God. The pope is the “Roman ruler” (Daniel 9:26), the “man of sin” (2 Thessalonians 2:3), an “antichrist” (1 John 4:3), the “false prophet” (Revelation 16:13) “harlot” on the beast (Revelation 17:2-4).
When Christ returns and establishes his kingdom it will be the Pope that stands against Him. The woman and the beast (Rome and Europe) make war against Christ when he returns. (Rev 17:14) No wonder lightning struck the Vatican as this man stepped down.

 “I was thinking about the horns, and behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom three of the first horns were uprooted. and behold, in this horn [were] eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things.” (Daniel 7:8 MKJV)

 “and after sixty-two weeks Messiah shall be cut off, but not [for] himself. and the people of the ruler who shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary. and the end of it [shall be] with the flood, and ruins are determined, until [the] end [shall be] war.” (Daniel 9:26 MKJV)

 “let not anyone deceive you by any means. for [that day shall not come] unless there first comes a falling away, and the man of sin shall be revealed, the son of perdition,” (2 Thessalonians 2:3 MKJV)

 “and every spirit that does not confess that jesus christ has come in [the] flesh is not of god. and this is the antichrist you heard is coming, and even now is already in the world.” (1 John 4:3 MKJV)

 “these will make war with the lamb, and the lamb will overcome them. for he is lord of lords and king of kings. and those with him [are] the called and elect and faithful ones.” (Revelation 17:14 MKJV)

Antichrist and The Most Hated Family in America in crisis

In 2007 you could already see the  The Most Hated Family in America, with  the English broadcaster best known for his Gonzo style journalism Louis Sebastian Theroux (°1970)). The 2007 special, The Most Hated Family in America, garnered particular critical praise from the international media and showed us some weird  American pastor heading the Westboro Baptist Church (WBC), an independent Baptist church based in Topeka, Kansas which would be charged by God to inspect the fruits of those among whom we live.

Fred Phelps, who believes that the United States is "a sodomite nation of flag-worshipping idolators" is a self-described "Primitive Baptist" preacher fixated on the few Biblical passages that mention homosexuality. but from what we got to see in the documentary he never did use any Sripture passage. He is known for the slogans that he and his ministry use against people he deems sinful; his church is built around a core of anti-homosexual theology, with many of their activities stemming from the slogan "God hates fags", which is also the name of the group's main website.
According the website "GOD HATES FAGS" -- though elliptical -- would be a profound theological statement, which the world needs to hear more than it needs oxygen, water and bread.
All their sites seem to preach a lot of hatred. All of the printing presses, distribution channels and the world wide web were, according to them, designed by God to do two things: first, to be used as a platform for His faithful prophets to preach His word (Yes!), and second, to be a vehicle for the continual hardening of the hearts of the teeming masses of the reprobate.

Westboro Baptist Church is based in a circle of houses in a middle-class Topeka neighbourhood. In one house, Phelps raised his family, and eventually the neighbours' houses were purchased, effectively creating a compound. All the houses share a large fenced backyard.

To Phelps' congregation he is "Gramps" and seems to be a sort of god who is the only real prophet of God today, because all the other preachers and organisation would be false prophets.

The followers of  "Gramps' seem to have a doomy picture of today and tomorrow but laugh at the world and keep holding marches. WBC has conducted over 45,729 pickets, in all 50 states, in over 500 cities and towns in the 1038 - weeks that WBC has held daily pickets on the mean streets of the for them doomed America. they also seem to find it nice when people are run over by cars. Anny accident that happens to a person is a penalty from God for that person and his family. According to them God owns the SUV’s and knows how to roll every one of them! God uses the cars to run over people, and they are happy that by doing that God shows them they are doing Gods work here on earth.
It is God's judgements wich are everywhere. "God is in charge of everything, including your tornadoes, tsunamis, floods, famines, hurricanes, earthquakes, forest fires, mall shootings, IEDs, etc., etc. God will repay each of your to your face with your own personal GodSmack."

We in Belgium are doomed because we have a filthy way of life. Perhaps they will find it a prof that we do not have a government. But for them the voters choose for a government that voted Belgian laws providing for divorce in four circumstances, to wit:  adultery, excesses, physical or mental cruelty, and de facto separation. "Belgians are murdering thugs!"
"God Hates Belgium. " "Belgium was the second country in the world to legalize same-sex marriage thereby proving that her people are wicked sinners before God exceedingly ala ancient Sodom.  Even Sodom did not have same-sex marriage!  Your fag-enabling violence towards God parallels the antediluvian world, and will bring full and final, fiery destruction to this present world.  Praise the Lord!!  God Hates Belgium!" And then do not have it yet of the priest who rape boys, which got a total separate site: Priests Rape Boys: an air-tight, three word case against the Catholic church.

Not many countries can escape their language of hate. The UK, "the fags took over the country" has like many other countries received major God-smacks for centuries.
On their sites they use words as "You British Bastards" "the Brutes of Britain" "those idiots never get the message" and words I would not like to mention here, because I do not think they should be used by Christians.

Though Holland is as "The Netherlands" "the filthiest country in the world, bar none." not saved, there has been a student project and the girls got in further positive contacts. the Dutch people talk a lot on twitter with them.
But for the WBC Holland has been given wholly to the Sodomites in a hand basket by God. "The Netherlands is a source, transit, and destination country for men, women, and children trafficked for the purposes of commercial sexual exploitation and forced labor. Within the Netherlands, victims are often trafficked by so called “lover boys”—men who seduce young women and girls and coerce them into prostitution. Women and girls are trafficked to the Netherlands from Nigeria, Bulgaria, China, Sierra Leone, and Romania, as well as other countries in Eastern Europe, for sexual exploitation and, to a lesser extent, forced labour. Men are trafficked to the Netherlands from India, China, Bangladesh, and Turkey for forced labour and sexual exploitation. According to the Dutch National Rapporteur for Trafficking in Persons, the highest risk sectors for labour trafficking are domestic employment, temporary employment agencies, agriculture and horticulture, restaurants, hotels, and construction."


When I rewatched the documentary this weekend, before going to see the sequel, which shall be screened on Tuesday night on Canvas (VRT - Flemish Television channel 2) to me it looked a very frustrated man who could laugh with others and hide his face behind a façade, full of hate.
I wonder what is true about the accusations from his son Nate Phelps who alleged that, in addition to hurting others in this world, his father used to physically abuse his wife and children by beating them with his fists and the handle of a mattock to the point of bleeding.

Until the mid-1970s, the Phelps family's main income reportedly came from using the children to sell candy door to door for several hours each day. The children were also required to run several miles a day.
In 1994, Phelps was convicted for disorderly conduct for verbal harassment, and received two suspended 30-day jail sentences.


People should be warned according to the WBC Antichrist blog: "Behold the three legs of the Unholy Trinity: The Dragon (Satan), The Beast (Antichrist Obama) and the False Prophet (the Paedophile-enabler Pope). They have come to seal your doom while they vainly think they can overcome the Host of heaven. Here is their end, along with all of you maudlin, sickening sycophants: "And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone" (Rev 19:20). That's some change for you!!!"

Four years on from Louis's last visit, there are signs of disarray in the Phelps clan. A series of defections of family members has shaken up the church. It would be interesting to hear their voices now of those 'who unburdened the WBC'. What do they think happened with them and how do they look at what that did and said at that time?

The 'lady in red' Grams daughter Shirley, who years ago got a boyfriend, had premarital sex, got pregnant and had a son out of wedlock, does most of the day to day running, and preaches that everyone who does the same is perverted and hell-bound for their conduct - for ever.
She tells us again today that Obama is the one who is "fitting all the prescriptors" about the Antichrist. The Antichrist sitting in the most powerful office in the world.


Steve Drain, whose daughter Lauren left the church, has made a sign board with Louis to hell and talks about his further work in the organisation. He shows his video about the Jews wich looks more as a pastiche ith a certain humour and has the David star turning in a swastika, which would have been one of the signs God kicked our ... .

Lauren looks back at what she now calls 'a crazy church' where people can have the power over their feeling that they are right.

Who is the real Antichrist? What is coming up onto us? Is God punishing the people now?

What Jesus Did - Misleading around the Messiah and the final assessment

Many false prophets will rise and mislead many. (MHM)

You will hear about wars that are being fought. And you will hear stories about other wars beginning. But don’t be afraid. These things must happen before the end comes. (ERV) 
Key Thought
Life in the end times for Jerusalem will be tumultuous. Wars, famines, earthquakes will be on the earth. But these are merely like the labour pains of a woman in childbirth. They were not to become frightened or disoriented. The Lord who reigns, the Lord who will conquer, is still in control and things will happen at his command. Nothing will be left to chance.
While these events anticipate the downfall of Jerusalem, they are only the beginning of the end of the old age. They were not to be afraid. The Lord, who passed through death, the Lord who triumphed in crucifixion, is Lord of all.
Jesus’ disciples would not go where he hasn't been before. No, they were to go about doing what they were supposed to do. They were to be alert! They were to be ready! They were to be faithful! But, is he talking merely about the fall of Jerusalem or about the end of time? It mattered to those who lived through the destruction of Jerusalem, but the point is basically the same for us whether Jesus is talking about a major disaster or The Major Disaster. We are to be faithful and ready and unafraid. Jesus will not forget, abandon, or leave us. When he comes in glory, we will share in it too! We are to be faithful, ready, and unafraid!
Today's Prayer
O Lord, Master and God of all time, and the One and Only God who dwells above time, give me a sense of hope in Your son, a heart of patience, and an eye of expectancy as I await your deliverance, whether it is from the problems that press around me now or whether it is the ultimate deliverance of Jesus’ return! God, do show me your glory and let the coming of your son also be a sign of liberation be for me. In the powerful name of Jesus, you son and representative on earth, I pray. Amen.
Text in Context:
Jesus left the temple area and was walking away. But his followers came to him to show him the temple's buildings. Jesus asked the followers, "Are you looking at these buildings? I tell you the truth. They will be destroyed. Every stone will be thrown down to the ground. Not one stone will be left on another." Later, Jesus was sitting at a place on the Mount of Olives. The followers came to be alone with Jesus. They said, "Tell us when these things will happen. And what will happen to show us that it is time for you to come again and time for the world to end?" Jesus answered: "Be careful! Don't let any person fool you. Many people will come and use my name. They will say, 'I am the Christ. ' And they will fool many people. You will hear about wars that are being fought. And you will hear stories about other wars beginning. But don't be afraid. These things must happen before the end comes. Nations will fight against other nations. Kingdoms will fight against other kingdoms. There will be times when there is no food for people to eat. And there will be earthquakes in different places. These things are like the first pains when something new is born. "Then people will treat you badly. People will give you {to the rulers} to be persecuted (hurt) and killed. All people will hate you. All these things will happen to you because you believe in me. At that time, many believers will lose their faith. They will turn against each other and hate each other. Many false prophets will come. They will cause many people to believe wrong things. There will be more and more evil in the world. So most believers will stop showing love. But the person that continues strong to the end will be saved. The Good News about {God's} kingdom will be told in the whole world. It will be told to every nation. Then the end will come.
Matthew 24:1-14 (ERV)
