Q&A: What does Matthew 4:8 mean?
In Matthew 4:8, what is meant by “Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory.”?
The answer to every question about God’s Word is in God’s Word.
…Whore of Babylon
2021 – The Year of the Cathars
Seven hundred years ago, in the year 1321, a man identified as the last of the Cathars, was interrogated in the Inquisition and burnt at the stake after he proclaimed a prophecy. That prophecy pertained to the year 2021 when he said, “We shall return in 700 years…” Is it being fulfilled? Take a look…
The Albigensian Crusade (1209–29) was called for by Pope Innocent III against the Cathars, a community in the south of France, whom the Roman Catholic Church had branded heretical. The war pitted the nobility of staunchly Catholic northern France against that of the south.
For all of its violence and destruction, the Albigensian Crusade failed to remove the Cathar heresy from Languedoc. It did, however, provide a solid framework of new secular governors willing to work with the church against the heretics. They were promised indulgences and whatever property or belongings they could confiscate. Through the subsequent efforts of the Inquisition, established by the papacy to try heretics, Catharism was virtually eliminated in Languedoc within a century. Many false accusations were made against them. ‘Cathar’ means purified, same as the ‘Puritans.’ They were also known as the Albigensians for the area of Albi where they lived.
In the Beginning, there was a Serpent in a Tree
In the beginning, that old Serpent called the Devil was there when Eve encountered him in that tree in the Garden. She ‘ate of that tree’ by listening to him and was thereby deceived by him. God had given specific instructions to Adam not to ‘eat’ of that tree. Then the Serpent came along and convinced Eve to disregard God’s instructions. Consequently, Adam and Eve were cast out of the Garden for their disobedience and succumbing to the deception of the Serpent. Eve thought it ‘looked good for food’ and ‘a tree to be desired to make one wise.’
Mass Graves Uncovered
A ‘mass grave’ is a grave that contains multiple human corpses, which may or may not be identified prior to burial. Several mass graves of unidentified corpses have been uncovered recently that the makers thereof would prefer to stay buried. These are from different continents, but the perpetrators have everything in common.
Mass Grave Uncovered in Canada
5/29/21 – KAMLOOPS, British Columbia — A mass grave containing the remains of 215 children, some as young as 3 years old, has been found on the site of what was once Canada’s largest Indigenous residential school. The school is one of the institutions that held Indigenous children taken from families across the nation.
From the 19th century until the 1970s, more than 150,000 First Nations children were required to attend state-funded Catholic schools as part of a program to assimilate them into Canadian society. They were forced to convert to ‘Christianity’ and not allowed to speak their native languages. Many were beaten and verbally abused, and up to 6,000 are said to have died.
The Canadian government apologized in Parliament in 2008 and admitted that physical and sexual abuse in the schools was rampant. A report more than five years ago by a Truth and Reconciliation Commission said at least 3,200 children had died amid abuse and neglect.
…Thieves Found in the Temple
Thieves have been found red handed in the “Temple” having stolen billions of dollars that don’t belong to them. Priests who are money-lovers rather then lovers of God. Wolves in Sheep’s clothing who feed and clothe themselves of the flock of God but do not feed His flock. What can they expect but retribution from God Himself! It has been written of since the very beginning, and commanded, “You shalt not steal.” These priests do not know their Creator and bow down to lifeless images. Their foot has been caught in a snare exposing their real intent and who they really are. The prophet Enoch prophesied of them many years ago.
…“And there came one of the seven … and talked with me, saying to me, Come here; I will show you the judgment of the great whore that sits upon many waters: With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication…”
