THE ENGLISH WORD CHURCH IS DERIVED FROM THE GREEK GODDESS CIRCE
WHO TURNED SAILORS INTO SWINE IN HOMER'S
ODYSSEY.

The Douay-Rheims Version is the authorized translation of the Latin Vulgate into English. Saint Paul's preaching the Resurrection of Christ caused a riot at Ephesus:

So that not only this our craft is in danger to be set at nought, but also the temple of great Diana shall be reputed for nothing! Yea, and her majesty shall begin to be destroyed, whom all Asia and the world worshippeth (Acts 19:27, Douay-Rheims Version).

The Douay-Rheims translation was made during the reign of the Queen Elizabeth double, so that was an oblique reference to her majesty the queen!


Statue of Aphrodite or Diana
of the Ephesians.
 

Aphrodite was the twin sister of Apollyon. She was called Diana or Minerva in Roma.

Her magnificent temple at Ephesus was one of the 7 Wonders of the Ancient World.

When Paul arrived at Ephesus he was invading the very HQ of Satan or Lucifer!

Naturally, a riot broke out, and Saint Paul's life was in danger once again!

Aphrodite at Ephesus.

The Romans detested riots and disorder, so they demanded that the issue be settled in court. Back then the people didn't have to contend with lawyers. Lawyers began as canon lawyers during the pontificate of Pope "Innocent" III.

That court, or ecclesia, was run by pagan worshippers of Aphrodite or Diana:

Si quid autem alterius rei quaeritis in legitima ecclesia poterit absolvi (Acts 19:39, Latin Vulgate Version).

And if you inquire after any other matter, it may be decided in a lawful assembly (Acts 19:39, Douay-Rheims Version).

The foundation stone or Rock of the Church of Roma is found in Saint Matthew 16:18:

Et ego dico tibi quia tu es Petrus et super hanc petram aedificabo ecclesiam meam et portae inferi non praevalebunt adversum eam. (St Matthew 16:18, Latin Vulgate Version).

And I say to thee: That thou art Peter; and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it (St. Matthew 16:18, Douay-Rheims Version).

The translators of the authorized King James Version slavishly followed the readings of the Douay-Rheims Version:

And I say unto thee, that thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gate of hell shall not prevail against it (St. Matthew 16:18, King James Version).

Around 250 years before Christ, the Hebrew Scriptures were translated into KOINE Greek. That translation was called the Septuagint or LXX for the 70 Hebrew scholars that took part in the translation. No genuine copy of the Septuagint exists today except in the Secret Archives of the Vatican!

When the translators encountered words or concepts that were unknown in Greek, like Sabbath and baptism, they imported those words into the Greek translation. The Hebrew Sheol was very similar to the Greek concept of the underworld, so they kept that word in the Greek translation.

The Hebrew word for the assembly of JEHOVAH's people was HILLAL, but the Greek equivalent is not known. The closest word to HILLAL today is CONGREGATION. The Romans borrowed many words from Greek . . . so the word CONGREGATION was probably of Greek origin.

The English word "CHURCH" comes from CIRCE!!

The Greek word ekklesia is translated as CHURCH in English. Church or kirke comes from the Greek goddess CIRCE who specialized in turning men into PIGS....Here is the definition of the word "CHURCH" from the Oxford English Dictionary:

"CHURCH: FORMS: (a) cirice, cyrice, chiriche, churiche, chereche, (b) CIRCE, cyrce, chyrce, cirke, etc., etc.,
"The ulterior derivation has been keenly disputed. The L. circus, and a Gothic word kélikn 'tower, upper chamber' (app. originally Gaulish) have both been proposed (the latter suggested by the Alemannic chilihha), but are set aside as untenable; and there is now a general agreement among scholars in referring it to the Greek word, properly kurion adj. 'of the Lord, dominicum, dominical' (f. Kurios lord), which occurs, from the 3rd century at least, used substantively (sc. doma, or the like) = 'house of the Lord', as a name of the Christian house of worship. Of this the earliest cited instances are in the Apostolical Constitutions (II. 59), a 300, the edict of Maximinus (303-13), cited by Eusebius (Eccl. Hist. ix. 10) a 324, the Councils of Ancyra 314 (Canon 15), Neo-Caesarea 314-23 (Can. 5), and Laodicea (Can. 28). Thenceforward it appears to have been in fairly common use in the East: e.g., Constantine named several churches built by him Kuriaka (Eusebius De Laud. Const. xvii)," (Oxford English Dictionary).

People in the ancient world were very familiar with Homer's Odyssey, and the encounter of Odysseus and his crew with the witch Circe.


The witch Circe offering the
GOLDEN CUP to
O
dysseus.
 

Circe's island was a veritable menagerie or zoo, with wild animals everywhere.

Those were former men who fell victims to her enchantments.

When Odysseus visited her island she changed some of his crew into pigs.

When she tried the same spell on Odysseus, it failed to work.

 

Circe specialized in turning men
into porky pigs!.

Homer was one of the greatest poets of the ancient world, and his journey home after the Trojan Wars is called the Odyssey:

When they reached Circe's house they found it built of cut stones, on a site that could be seen from far, in the middle of the forest. There were wild mountain wolves and lions prowling all round it—poor bewitched creatures whom she had tamed by her enchantments and drugged into subjection. They did not attack my men, but wagged their great tails, fawned upon them, and rubbed their noses lovingly against them. As hounds crowd round their master when they see him coming from dinner—for they know he will bring them something—even so did these wolves and lions with their great claws fawn upon my men, but the men were terribly frightened at seeing such strange creatures"(The Odyssey, Book 10, 210).

Circe turned Odyssues's men into swine with her witches brew:

They called her (Circe) and she came down, unfastened the door, and bade them enter. They, thinking no evil, followed her, all except Eurylochus, who suspected mischief and stayed outside. When she had got them into her house, she set them upon benches and seats and mixed them a mess with cheese, honey, meal, and Pramnian wine but she drugged it with wicked poisons to make them forget their homes, and when they had drunk she turned them into pigs by a stroke of her wand, and shut them up in her pigsties. They were like pigs—head, hair, and all, and they grunted just as pigs do; but their senses were the same as before, and they remembered everything (The Odyssey, Book 10, 210).

CIRCE tried to make a PIG of Odysseus (Ulysses) when he came to rescue his companions . . . but the spell failed to work!

Anybody who read the Apocalypse of Saint John could see immediately that the woman described in the book was none other than CIRCE—the filthy witch who turned men into swine:

So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet colored beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls,having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH (Apocalypse 17:3-5).

Donkey DNA Charles Darwin tried to turn humans into animals by claimed that they were descended from MONKEYS. The real reason he did that was in order to marry first cousin Emma Wedgwood and get his greedy hands on the Wedgwood fortune.


Inflating the pig for the Lord Mayor's
Parade in the City of London!
 

Every year on November 11, Babylon on the Thames holds a parade that features a PIG and the Armageddon giants Gog and Magog.

In the parable of the Prodigal Son, the Messiah told a story of a rebellious son who left his father's house and ended up as a swineherd (Saint Luke 15:11-32).

 

 
Parading the pig through the City of London, November 11, 2023.

The City of London is known colloquially as the Square Mile. It is an exclusive zone like Vatican City, or the Pharaonic Zone capital of the New Jerusalem.

Elections are held yearly for the position of Lord Mayor, but you must be a resident or employed there to vote. It is not democracy in action as envisioned by Governor John Winthrop's "shining city on a hill" (Saint Matthew 5:14).

The Messiah drowned about 2,000 demon-possessed swine in the Sea of Galilee!!

In the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke there is a terrifying account of the Messiah's encounter with a man possessed with about 2,000 demons. When the Messiah asked him his name he replied LEGION:

And they came over unto the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gadarenes. And when he was come out of the ship, immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit,  who had his dwelling among the tombs; and no man could bind him, no, not with chains:  Because that he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been plucked asunder by him, and the fetters broken in pieces: neither could any man tame him. And always, night and day, he was in the mountains, and in the tombs, crying, and cutting himself with stones. But when he saw Joshua afar off, he ran and worshipped him, And cried with a loud voice, and said, "what have I to do with thee, Joshua, thou Son of the most high Elohim? I adjure thee by Elohim, that thou torment me not." For he said unto him, "come out of the man, thou unclean spirit." And he asked him, "what is thy name?" and he answered, saying, my name is Legion: for we are many." And he besought him much that he would not send them away out of the country. Now there was there nigh unto the mountain a great herd of swine feeding. And all the demons besought him, saying, "send us into the swine, that we may enter into them. " And forthwith Joshua gave them leave. And the unclean spirits went out, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the sea, (they were about two thousand) and were drowned in the sea. And they that fed the swine fled, and told it in the city, and in the country. And they went out to see what it was that was done. (Saint Matthew 8:28-34, Saint Mark 5:1-14, Saint Luke 8:26-34).

Even those filthy animals could not bear to be possessed by the demons so they all committed a form of mass swine suicide! That awesome scenario is a type of the PAPAL DYNASTY with MANY coming in Christ's name and deceiving many:

For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many (Matthew 24:5).

The drowning of the swine is also a type of the end of the world when JEHOVAH sends all the wicked to the Lake of Fire and Brimstone (Apocalypse 20:14-15).

Jesus is depicted as a transgender on Catholic crucifixes, statues, and art!!

In the Latin Vulgate Version, the Messiah who would bruise Satan's head is called a SHE . . . or a FEMALE:

I will put enmities between thee and the woman, and thy seed and her seed: she shall crush thy head, and thou shalt lie in wait for her heel (Genesis 3:15, Douay-Rheims Version).

The translators of the authorized King James Version slavishly followed the readings of the Douay-Rheims Version, but they put IT instead of SHE:

And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel (Genesis 3:15, King James Version).

That verse is called the protoevangelium, or the first promise of a Redeemer for mankind.


The Egyptian transgender
named "Hapi."
 

In the Holy Bible, Egypt is a type of Satan's kingdom and Pharaoh is a type of the Antichrist.

Egypt was also known as the "land of twins and transgenders."

Hapi or Hapy was the transgender Egyptian god who lived in a cavern and was credited with the annual flooding of the Nile River. Human sacrifices were offered to "Hapy" to ensure the annual inundation!

All the symbols, rituals, and dogmas of the Papal religion were borrowed from ancient Egypt.

 

The "Hapi" transgender twins.

The demonic Pharaonic dynasty was abolished after the suicide of Queen Cleopatra and Marcus Antonius. Emperor Augustus annexed Egypt to the Roman Empire, but in reality Roma was annexed to Egypt because that was the end of the Roman Republic and the rise of the 4th Universal Empire.


The not so happy Serapis was
the Greek counterpart of "Hapy."
 

Serapis was the Greek counterpart of the Egyptian "Hapi."

To show a pregnant man with female breasts was anathema to the Greeks, so they gave him long hair instead.

Around the time of Emperor Jesus Constantine, images and statues of the hybrid Jesus with long hair began to appear!

 

The image of the transgender
Jesus with long hair.

There were no images or statues of the Messiah for the first 3 centuries of Christianity. The sea change came about with the conquest of the Roman Empire by Jesus Constantine and his mother Helena.

Saints Martin and William refused to call the "bride of Christ" after a pagan pigsty goddess!!

The congregation of Christ is called the bride of Christ, or the Lamb's wife:

Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls filled with the last seven plagues came to me and talked with me, saying, “Come, I will show you the bride, the Lamb’s wife” (Apocalypse 21:9).

The bride of Christ is the Holy City or New Jerusalem:

And he carried me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me that  great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from Elohim (Apocalypse 21:10).

Erasmus of Rotterdam was the foremost Greek scholar of the Renaissance. He published a Latin translation of the Greek New Covenant, and everywhere the word ekklesia was found he translated it as CONGREGATION. His Greek New Covenant was the basis for Saint Martin Luther's and Saint William Tyndale's translation.


Saint Martin Luther
(1483–1546).
 
Saint Martin Luther was the king of Bible translators. He was an expert in Hebrew and Greek and he made Moses and the Prophets speak German.

He used the German Gemeinde or congregation of Israel in the Old Covenant, and he used the SAME WORD in the New Covenant.

For translating the Bible from Hebrew and Greek, Sir Thomas More called Saint William Tyndale a "hell hound of the devil who discharged blasphemies out of his brutish beastly mouth."

 

 
Saint William Tyndale
(14941536).

Tyndale used congregation instead of church, repent instead of do penance, and presbyter instead of priest:

But I say unto thee, that thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my congregation And the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it (Saint Matthew 16:18, Tyndale 1536 translation).

When More saw a copy of the Tyndale's New Covenant translation, he knew right away that it would mean the downfall of the Babylonian system in his country.

That is why he put a million dollar contract on the life of the Saint, and he was eventually strangled and burned at the stake before he could finish translating the entire Bible.


Sir Thomas More
(14781535).
 

Sir Thomas More was Lord Chancellor of England from October 1529 to May 1532.

More put a "million dollar contract" on the life of the Saint William.

Fortunately, he was sent to "Purgatory" by King Henry VIII before the death of the fearless Bible translator.

In 2000, Pope John II declared Sir Thomas More the "patron saint" of lawyers and politicians!!

 

Pope John Paul II (19202005).
Pope from 1978 to 2005.

Pope John Paul II jumped the queue because he was released from "Purgatory" ahead of many of the still-suffering pontiffs!! Fulfilled prophecy is a Great Faith booster. The Jewish Messiah said:

And now I have told you before it comes to pass, that when it comes to pass, ye might believe (Saint John 14:29).

Many coming in Christ's name and deceiving millions is a perfect description of the Papal dynasty that began with Pope Julius I in 337 AD.
