ACCORDING TO THE LATIN VULGATE VERSION, SAINT PAUL HAD A "DEVOUT" JEWISH HELPER NAMED APOLLYON!!
(ACTS 18:24,19:1, I CORINTHIANS 1:12, 3:4, 3:5, 3:6, 3:22, 4:6,16:12, TITUS 3:13).

Apollyon was the son of Zeus and Leto. His name is spelled Apollōn in Greek and it means DESTROYER or EXTERMINATOR:

And they (demons) had a king over them, who is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in Greek Apollyon, in Latin Exterminans (Apocalypse 9:11, Douay-Rheims Version).

British readers are very familiar with Apollyon from the great Christian classic Pilgrim's Progress by Saint John Bunyan. . As Christian is fleeing from the City of Destruction to the Celestial City, he has a terrifying encounter with Apollyon, aka Satan. Christian vanquishes Apollyon by his trusty Sword of the Spirit.


Saint John Bunyan
(1628
1688).
 

The immortal Christian classic The Pilgrim's Progress by Saint John Bunyan featured Christian battling and overcoming Apollyon, aka Satan.

That great Christian classic was written while the "Mechanic for Christ" was imprisoned for preaching the Gospel without a license from tyrannical King Charles II.

Without the benefits of a "classical education," the Saint was a far better writer than Shake-speare!

 

 

Napollyon Bonaparte
(1769–1821).

Even though he was descended from King Charles II, British Christians believed that Napoleon was Apollyon because of the similarity of the names!

As a descendent of King Charles II, Napollyon was actually related to George Washington....Unlike George Washington, Napollyon was heir conditioned!

Mighty Tsar Alexander I knew that Napollyon was Apollyon because of his devastating invasion of Orthodox Russia in 1812.

Napollyon abolished the "Holy Roman" Empire, and he sold Louisiana to the New Jerusalem. That was supposed to prepare the way for a Roman Catholic superpower in the New World.

Delphi in Greece was the HQ of Apollyon worship, and "pilgrims" came from all over the world to have their futures foretold. Alexander the Great consulted the oracle before he set out to conquer the world.

The oracle of Apollyon at Delphi was one of the most famous shrines of divination in the ancient world and it was a fantastic cash cow for the priests of Apollyon.

To the great dismay of the priests, the oracle stopped working after the Resurrection of Christ from the dead.

Apollyon is a copy of the Egyptian god Horus who was always depicted NAKED. Part of the worship of Horus and the Golden Calf included making people naked:

And when Moses saw that the people were naked (for Aaron had made them naked unto their shame among their enemies). Then Moses stood in the gate of the camp, and said "Who is on JEHOVAH's side let him come unto me" (Exodus 32:25-26).

3,000 of those naked Golden Calf worshippers were slain by the sword of their brethren. Horus, or Apollyon worship, is indeed very old and very deadly.

Apollyon was the sun god, and his devotees believed that he drove the chariot of the sun across the sky each day.

December 25th was his birthday!

As the "patron god" of music and entertainment. Apollyon was depicted holding a musical instrument called a lyre.

Lucifer or Satan was in charge of the heavenly choir before he led the revolt against JEHOVAH....Apollyon is the only god with the same name in Greek and Latin. He had a twin sister named Artemis; who was called Isis in Egypt, and Diana in Roma.

Apollyon had a twin sister named Artemis

The temple of Artemis in Ephesus was one of the 7 Wonders of the World. It was the female equivalent of the oracle of Delphi. The manufacture and selling of images of Artemis was another fantastic cash cow for the priests of Artemis.


Artemis, the mother of mankind,
was the twin sister of Apollyon.
 

Saint Paul entered a pagan den of lions when he preached the Gospel at Ephesus:

"So not only is this trade of ours in danger of being discredited, but also the temple of the great goddess Artemis may be despised and her magnificence destroyed, whom all Asia and the world worship" (Acts 19:27).

Incredibly, the Book of Acts states that a "devout Jew" named Apollyon met Saint Paul at Ephesus and became a believer in Christ:

Now a certain Jew named Apollo, born at Alexandria, an eloquent man and mighty in the Scriptures, came to Ephesus (Acts 18:24, Douay-Rheims Version).

If he didn't speak Hebrew, that "devout Jew" had a copy of the Septuagint—the authentic Hebrew Scriptures in Greek. Jews were forbidden to even mention the names of pagan gods. For a real Jew having the name Apollyon would be like having the name Hades or Baalzebub. For a "counterfeit Jew" having the named Apollyon would be like having the name Adolf Hitler.

Alarmingly, that "devout Jew" named "Apollyon" appears 9 more times in the New Covenant:

For all things are yours, whether it be Paul, or Apollo, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; for all are yours (I Corinthians 3:22, Douay-Rheims Version).

We don't know the real name of that "devout Jew" but it certainly was not Apollyon. This is just another example of how Jesus Constantine and Jerome mutilated the Holy Scriptures, and turned the sharp Sword of the Spirit into a butterknife!

Apollyon appeared to Jesus Constantine before the Battle of Milvian Bridge!

Oceans of ink have been spilt by "historians" trying to prove that Jesus Constantine was not born in Britannia. One of the most famous was Edward Gibbon, in his monumental tome, History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire.

The Roman fortress Eburacum
The Roman fortress Eburacum
is now called York.
 

Eburacum was the HQ of Jesus Constantine before he marched on Roma.

It was inhabited by wild men called Brigantes, who were ruled by women; tattooed and painted their bodies, stripped for battle, and married their mothers!!

They were without a doubt Satan's "Chosen People."

Jesus Constantine claimed to have seen a vision at noonday of a cross in the sky, and a voice that said In Hoc Signo Vinces or "with this sign, conquer."

That was just a counterfeit of Saint Paul's conversion on the Damascus Road, when at noonday he saw a light BRIGHTER than the sun (Acts 22:6).

Jesus Constantine, and his army of 80,000 naked British barbarians appeared before the walls of Roma in October 312.

All of them were devotees of Apollyon and their shields were painted with crosses.

The cross was a ubiquitous sun symbol going back to ancient Egypt.


Emperor Jesus Constantine (274 – 337).
Emperor from 306 to 337.

When Jesus Constantine occupied the city of Roma, he left no doubt that he was Apollo manifest in the flesh. Right next to the Coliseum, where thousands of Christians were martyred, he built a massive monument to himself.


The massive Arch of Constantine
in Roma.
 

Immediately after occupying the city, Jesus Constantine began a massive building program.

His most spectacular monument was an arch with a chariot of Apollyon on top.

Behind the arch was a lofty statue of Jesus Constantine as Apollyon.

The chariot of Apollo, with 4 horses, sat on top of the massive monument. The face of Apollyon in the statue was designed to look exactly like Jesus Constantine.

On top of the arch was a huge statue
of Apoll
yon in his chariot.
 

On entering the city, a visitor was awestruck by a giant statue of Apollyon looking down on the chariot and arch.

Emperors Trajan, Hadrian, and Titus were also featured on the arch, but Jesus Constantine was portrayed as looking down on them all.

This was meant to signify that he was greater than all the past emperors combined!

towered over the arch.

Saint Paul promised the persecuted Roman Christians that Elohin would bruise Satan under their feet shortly:

And the Elohim of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly (Romans 16:20).

Looking at the soaring monuments to Jesus Constantine gave the exact opposite impression. Those monuments to the vanity and pride of the "First Christian Emperor" were removed a long time ago, but Satan still wants to soar to the heavens instead of crawling in the dust under our feet.

Emperor Jesus Constantine founded the Papacy with Pope Julius I

While he was in Roma, the Emperor tried desperately to get the Senate to grant him a crown. No amount of threats or bribes could persuade them to turn back the clock to the dark days of the tyranny of Tarquin Superbus "Tarquin the Proud."

After filling Roma with his gigantic statues, Jesus Constantine was certain that the Senate would make him a king.

No amount of bribes or threats could force the Roman Senators to abandon their Republic.

That was the real reason why Jesus Constantine decided to found a new city.

Before he left Roma for good, Jesus Constantine donated a HQ for his newly founded Papacy. It was called the Lateran Palace.


The Lateran Palace is now called the
Basilica of St. John Lateran.
 

Jesus Constantine wanted his son to succeed him but he failed to force the Senate to grant him a crown.

He appointed as his successor a man named Julius who was the second Pope after Constantine.

Julius decreed that December 25—the birthday of Apollyon —should now be celebrated as the birthday of Jesus!

After he had firmly established the Papacy in Roma, Jesus Constantine founded a new capital which he named after himself.

Apollyon dominated Constantinople.
 

When Jesus Constantine built his new capital, he made sure that everybody recognized him as Apollyon manifest in the flesh.

A huge statue dominated the city with an exact likeness of Constantine as Apollyon.

In his own city, Constantine had no problem obtaining a kingly crown, and he was succeeded by his son, Constantius II.

 

Church of the Holy Apostles;
former tomb of Constantine.

Like all his deluded followers today, Jesus Constantine believed that the waters of baptism would wash away all his sins. That is why he delayed being baptized until just before his death.

He was buried in a massive building called the Church of the Holy Apostles; surrounded by images of the 12 Apostles of Christ. In 1453, that church was demolished by the Terrible Turks and turned into a mosque. No one knows where his bones lie, but perhaps Satan has one more mission for Jesus Constantine before the end of time.

We cannot stop Apollyon's suicidal charging chariots at Armageddon!

The Apostle John said that Satan would be loosed out of his prison after 1,000 years and he would gather the nations for battle once again:

And when the thousand years shall be finished, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, and shall go forth, and seduce (Gk. planeō: deceive) the nations, which are over the four quarters (Gk. gonia: corners) of the earth, Gog and Magog, and shall gather them together to battle, the numbers of whom is as the sand of the sea (Apocalypse 20:7, Douay-Rheims Version).

The Exodus from Egypt is also a marvelous type of Armageddon and the end of the world. When the Egyptians were pursuing the children of Israel at the Red Sea, JEHOVAH sent his MECHANIC-ANGELS to pull off the wheels of their chariots—in order to slow them down:

And it came to pass, that in the morning watch that JEHOVAH looked unto the host of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and of the cloud, and troubled the host of the Egyptians, and took off their chariot wheels, that they drove them heavily: so that the Egyptians said, "let us flee from the face of Israel; for JEHOVAH fighteth for them against the Egyptians" (Exodus:14:24-25).

In these last days . . . we cannot stop . . . but only slow down . . . Apollo's suicidal charging chariots . . . so all true Christians should become MECHANICS for CHRIST!!
