Left Behind by the Jesuits!!
 

Here is the dictionary definition of the word Jesuit and Jesuitism BEFORE the dictionary was OWNED by the Jesuits:

JESUIT, n.

One of the society of Jesus, so called, founded by Ignatius Loyola; a society remarkable for their cunning in propagating their principles. (Noah Webster's 1828 Dictionary).

JESUITISM, n. The arts, principles and practices of the Jesuits.

1. Cunning, deceit; hypocrisy; prevarication; deceptive practices to effect a purpose.

St. Paul said that 2 things MUST happen FIRST before the end of the world:

1. A falling away or apostasy from Apostolic Christianity.
2. The Antichrist or Man of Sin to be revealed.

Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.
Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?
And now ye know what withholdeth (restrains) that he might be revealed in his time.
For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.
And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming.
(II Thessalonians 2:1-12).

ALL of the Reformers applied this prophecy to the PAPAL DYNASTY. Saint Martin Luther said:

Oh Christ, my Lord, look down upon us and bring upon us the day of judgment, and destroy the brood of Satan at Rome. There sits the Man, of whom the Apostle Paul wrote that he would oppose and exalt himself above all that is called God — the Man of Sin, the son of perdition . . . What is the Temple of God? Is it stones and wood? Did not Paul say, The Temple of God is holy, which Temple ye are? To sit — what is it but to reign, to teach and to judge. Who from the beginning of the church has dared to call himself master of the whole church but the Pope alone. None of the saints, none of the heretics ever uttered so horrible a word of pride. (Luther's Works, Vol. 2. p. 281).

To the Reformers, the Man of Sin was synonymous with the Antichrist. Saint Martin Luther also said:

Antichrist is the pope and the Turk together; a beast full of life must have a body and soul; the spirit or soul of antichrist is the pope, his flesh or body the Turk. The latter wastes and assails and persecutes God's church corporally; the former spiritually and corporally too, with hanging, burning, murdering, &c. But, as in the apostle's time, the church had the victory over the Jews and Romans, so now will she keep the field firm and solid against the hypocrisy and idolatry of the pope, and the tyranny and devastations of the Turk and her other enemies. (Table Talk of Saint Martin Luther, p. 193).

This was the standard Protestant exposition of the Book of Revelation, and millions of Latin Church members were turning from Antichrist to Christ as they saw the clear fulfillment of Bible prophecy. Joshua the Messiah said:

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

This prophetic teaching (historicist) was playing havoc with the Latin Church. Millions were escaping and obeying the Lord's command to "come out of her" (Rev. 18:4). 

The Rapture or Millions Missing hoax!!

In order to stop the hemorrhage from Papal Rome, 2 Jesuits invented a counter-interpretation called FUTURISM.

Francisco de Ribera, S.J.
Francisco de Ribera, S.J.
(1537-1591).

 

2 Jesuits named Francisco de Ribera and Robert Bellarmine invented the system called FUTURISM.

Futurism places the coming of Antichrist just 7 years before the end of time.

The Christians were hindering his coming, and they will be raptured out before his appearance.

 

Cardinal Robert Bellarmine, S.J.
Cardinal Robert Bellarmine, S.J.
(1542-1621).

Francisco Ribera was a Spanish doctor of theology who wrote a 500 page Latin commentary on Revelation (Apocalypse) entitled: In Sacrum Beati Ioannis Apostoli, & Evangelistiae Apocalypsin Commentarij, and published it about the year 1590....This commentary was never translated into any other language and was for the eyes of the hierarchy only!!

Robert Bellarmine was an Italian doctor of theology and is best known for his opposition to fellow Jesuit Galileo and his HELLiocentric theory. He also wrote a book in Latin entitled: Disputationes de controversiis christianae fidei, or Polemic Lectures Concerning the Disputed Points of the Christian Belief Against the Heretics of This Time. This book follows the basic outline of Francisco de Ribera's book with the reign of Antichrist limited to a few years way off in the future before the end of time.

In the Futurism system of Ribera and Bellarmine, Antichrist is an evil superman who emerges just 7 years before the end of time and causes all kinds of havoc.

In the English speaking world, Edward Irving and John Nelson Darby further elaborated on this system by inventing a secret rapture 7 years before the end. They correctly taught that the Christians are restraining evil—in this case Protestant Christians— who will be removed from the earth before the Antichrist will be revealed. In popular literature it is called the Rapture or catching away!!

Those who are LEFT BEHIND will get another chance to be saved ... if they choose death rather that accept the mark of the beast!!

If you think this is some kind of hoax or fantasy think again....This teaching is held by millions of "Protestant" Christians and is the foundation of a multi-million dollar publishing and movie empire.

The Pope and Caliph LOVE this fantasy because it blinds the believers to the PRESENT Antichrist!

According to the Futurist FANTASY:

1. Antichrist was one man . . . not a dynasty.  
2. He would be an atheist or infidel.
3. He would not be revealed until 7 years before the end of time.
4. He would sit in a rebuilt temple in Jerusalem and make a covenant with the Jews.
5. He would call himself God etc., etc.
6. The Christians were hindering his appearance but they would be "caught up" or raptured to Heaven before his appearance—the "Left Behind" madness!!

This Futurist fantasy was/is a fantastic money-maker.

Hal Lindsey and C.C. Carlson

The first book to really bring Futurism to the masses was a book entitled The Late Great Planet Earth by Hal Lindsey and C.C. Carlson which appeared in 197O. That book has sold over 35 million copies and was translated into 54 languages.

Hal Lindsey is known as the father of modern "Bible" prophecy. His famous Late Great Planet Earth sold over 35 million copies and spawned the billion dollar end-times industry, whose books and videos repeat his dispensational theme, and are patterned after his novel writing style. Lindsey actually is a Jesuit in disguise as 2 of his daughters attended Jesuit Gonzaga University.

To Lindsey, Antichrist is a superman who will conquer the world just 7 years before the end of time.

 

 

 

The mysterious C.C. Carlson, who was the ghostwriter for Lindsey's books, turns out to be a woman—and most probably a nun in disguise!!

The mysterious C. C. Carlson—ghostwriter for Lindsey's book's—finally turns out to be a woman....She should be called the MOTHER of modern "Bible" prophecy.

In Protestant Christianity, it is very unusual for a woman to write a prophecy book. Prior to 1971, you could count them on one hand. Edward Elliott and Charles Spurgeon surveyed history and listed the best expositors in Horae Apocalypticae and Commentating on Commentators. Neither man mentioned a woman.

According to Lindsey, the Dome of the Rock will be torn down and a Jewish temple built on the spot.

Then Antichrist will sit in this temple and make a 7 year covenant with the "Jews."

According to Lindsey, the Antichrist will be ONE man who will make a 7 year covenant with the "Jews." 31/2 years into his reign he will break his covenant, persecute the Jews, conquer the world, and finally be destroyed by Christ in a literal battle called Armageddon.

That is a brief synopsis of the entire Futurist fantasy.

Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins

When it became apparent that Futurism was the road that led to fame and riches, many jumped on this "Bible" prophecy bandwagon....2 of the most famous false profits are "Reverend" Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins who originated the Left Behind publishing empire.

"Reverend" Tim LaHaye.

These men are laughing all the way to the bank because the Futurist FANTASY is a goldmine.

Obviously these self-fulfilling "prophecies" need "Jews" for their fulfillment and that is the reason for the existence of the state of Israel.

These men are laughing all the way to the bank due to the phenomenal success of their Left Behind series. Most libraries in the U.S. have copies of their books . . . but fortunately they are listed under "Christian" FICTION.

In their books, the Rapture has already taken place and the hero and heroine battle the evil Antichrist named Nicolae Carpathia from the country of Romania!!

Left Behind by Jerry B. Jenkins
The Mark by Tim LaHaye
Tribulation Force b y Tim LaHaye

The phenomenally successful Left Behind series features over 8 full length books and 2 Hollywood movies. These books were almost as successful as the Harry Potter books.
