After a long time I am back to tell you about the Catholic church dammed in prophesy.

The matter might be said to not be black and white. The evidence may not always stand up in a court of law. If you are looking for fine details give the local Seventh Day Adventist Pastor a call, Preferably an older pastor, they are usually easy going, and full of knowledge in these matters.

I am not an SDA, I should say.

The scope of this post is to small to treat this subject, and I am a little bit rusty.

Briefly, there are seven points given in Daniel that fit only the Roman Catholic Church.

In Revelation, from my poor memory, I think there are 10 points that identify only the Roman Catholic Church as the leopard like beast. Later the same 10 points are used to identify the scarlet coloured beast, which is the image of the leopard like beast, which has not been identified yet, but most probably exists today. When the image of the beast arrives the image of the beast and the beast co-exist and the worshiping of either earns the mark of the beast.

The image of the beast is described as 'is but is not'. To the apostle John, 2000 years ago, this could have meant 'secret' or 'covert'.

Isaac Newton wrote on mathematics, physics and astronomy, also determined that the leopard like beast was the Papacy, the church of Rome. Most of Isaac Newton's writings were on Christian matters.

Today, people in high places regard the Papacy as a world power equal to the USA.

A interesting quote, “Pius XII continued to support the U.S. Lobby advocating 'an atomic preventative war' .....U.S. Military considered dropping from one to six 31-kiloton bombs on Vietnam forces.... This scheme to use nuclear weapons against Vietnam was disclosed in the first vol. of a 17-volume official history of the Vietnam War published in 1984 by the Army's historical office.

Recommended, ask a SDA Pastor about historicist, futurist, Daniel's prophesies,and the Catholic Church dammed by prophecy.

Peter Sellick has every right to go on preaching his sermons to the converted faithful. One problem
is though, in multicultural Australia, there will be those who choose to move outside this group.
Hybridisation in marriages, unless resolved carefully, has a potential to cause conflict, confusion
and anguish in resultant offspring. Failure to develop a healthy spiritual identity may germinate
the seeds of mental illness. This poses a severe responsibility on prospective parents and society.

Isaac Newton, who suffered from mental illness, was not wholly “right about gravity!” He had no idea
about electric phenomena which permeate the universe in a manner orthodox science has not yet come to terms with. Use of Newtonian mathematics to determine some gravitational issues have repeatedly
met irregularities to expected results.

As one sage thoughtfully posited, “Truth exists only for the individual as he himself produces it in
action”.

Thus, a holistic approach which coalesces science and religion, and mediated by logical common
sense, will produce a far more satisfying intellectual result than is readily available today.

It is futile to think catastrophic violence is not a fundamental aspect of life. Peter Sellick was born
from his mother in an act of violence. An eruptive volcano belches forth matter which enriches the
surrounding lands with high fertility. Plasmas racing through space fuel both a violent electric sun
and violent electric storms on earth!

Catastrophe does not necessarily mean the “end of the earth”. GoldBrick and Rhian think more
optimistically. “End of an age” can ultimately mean the beginning of a new flowering.

Very much is being said not just about texts in the Hebrew Bible, but global history that cries out
for a thorough reappraisal of the nature of God.

Tertullian surely got it wrong. Luther rebelled against the power and authority of Rome. The
English decided they also could travel their own path. There is still much to be achieved, and will
be if the next generation nurtures the gift to see life in new ways which so richly enhance mankind’s
endeavour to glorify the Great Architect of Life.
