"That Woman JEZEBEL!"

"That woman Jezebel" 

  • The Jezebel spirit seeks to hide itself, seduce,

    intimidate, manipulate, murder and ruin reputations.
    Some people talk about the "Jezebel spirit"

    because this is the kind of spirit that was

    working powerfully through Queen Jezebel


    a Sidonian princess who married King Ahab of Israel, and killed so
    many prophets of God. The woman Jezebel is mentioned also in



    Revelation, chapter 2, verse 20 in the context of the church of


    Thyatira. Here she is called a false prophetess, a teacher of sexual


    immorality. It would seem here again that Jezebel is the name of a


    person who comes under the influence of this spirit, because the Lord


    says he gave her time to repent.



    The Queen of Heaven/Spirit of Jezebel/Mystery Babylon/Harlot Spirit is a very religious spirit, but it promotes religious things that are contrary to God. Jezebel promotes fleshly indulgence amongst God's people and shuns the cross.
    The Jezebel spirit is the enemy of the true prophets of the Lord. The book of Revelation has a chapter almost exclusively devoted to exposing this spirit - Chapter 17. In this chapter we read that the woman is drunk with the blood of the saints and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. (Revelation 17:6). So this spirit especially hates and seeks to murder righteous people and those who speak faithfully the Word of the Lord, just as Jezebel the wife of Ahab was responsible for most of the true prophets of Yahweh in her day (1 Kings 18:13)
    This evil power is also exposed in the book of Isaiah, chapter 47
    "Come down and sit in the dust, O virgin daughter of Babylon; Sit on the ground without a throne, O daughter of the Chaldeans! For you shall no more be called Tender and delicate. 2Take the millstones and grind meal. Remove your veil, Take off the skirt, Uncover the thigh, Pass through the rivers. 3Your nakedness shall be uncovered, Yes, your shame will be seen; I will take vengeance, And I will not arbitrate with a man." 4As for our Redeemer, the LORD of hosts is His name, The Holy One of Israel.
    5"Sit in silence, and go into darkness, O daughter of the Chaldeans; For you shall no longer be called The Lady of Kingdoms. 6I was angry with My people; I have profaned My inheritance, And given them into your hand. You showed them no mercy; On the elderly you laid your yoke very heavily. 7And you said, "I shall be a lady forever,' So that you did not take these things to heart, Nor remember the latter end of them.
    8"Therefore hear this now, you who are given to pleasures, Who dwell securely, Who say in your heart, "I am, and there is no one else besides me; I shall not sit as a widow, Nor shall I know the loss of children'; 9But these two things shall come to you In a moment, in one day: The loss of children, and widowhood. They shall come upon you in their fullness Because of the multitude of your sorceries, For the great abundance of your enchantments.
    10 "For you have trusted in your wickedness; You have said, "No one sees me'; Your wisdom and your knowledge have warped you; And you have said in your heart, "I am, and there is no one else besides me.' 11Therefore evil shall come upon you; You shall not know from where it arises. And trouble shall fall upon you; You will not be able to put it off. And desolation shall come upon you suddenly, Which you shall not know.
    12"Stand now with your enchantments And the multitude of your sorceries, In which you have labored from your youth-- Perhaps you will be able to profit, Perhaps you will prevail. 13You are wearied in the multitude of your counsels; Let now the astrologers, the stargazers, And the monthly prognosticators Stand up and save you From what shall come upon you. 14Behold, they shall be as stubble, The fire shall burn them; They shall not deliver themselves From the power of the flame; It shall not be a coal to be warmed by, Nor a fire to sit before! 15Thus shall they be to you With whom you have labored, Your merchants from your youth; They shall wander each one to his quarter. No one shall save you.
    We are still dealing with this Babylonian spirit today. It is the spirit that takes captive the people of God. It is this spirit that caused the church to go into the bondage of Roman Catholicism for centuries. Note Revelation 17:9 - the seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman sits. It is a fact that Rome is built on seven hills. The same spirit which caused the Israelites to worship "the Queen of Heaven" mentioned in Jeremiah 44:17-19 and Jeremiah 7:18 is the one behind all the false mother/son religions that ever have been, including the Marian cult of the Roman Catholic Church. This spirit does lying wonders, such as making statues weep.
    Jeremiah 7:18 says:
    "The children gather wood, the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead dough, to make cakes for the queen of heaven; and they pour out drink offerings to other gods, that they may provoke Me to anger."
    The true God is NOT happy with such worship to the Queen of Heaven. Why do Roman Catholics and so-called Orthodox Christians call Mary the "Queen of Heaven" and practically exalt her above Jesus in their art and theology? It is this same idolatrous spirit, taking a "christian" form.
    But this harlot spirit has an influence beyond that of roman catholicism. Its influence extends into Hollywood and the TV programs Christians pollute their minds with, into the United Nations, and in fact into the whole global political, economical and religious system of the world which is now seeking to unite all people everywhere under the antichrist. It gets into the church as a spirit of ungodly control and seduction which encourages people to "live it up" in the world as long as they are submissive to the church leadership and don't move in the Holy Spirit. It seeks to kill the prophetic even in pentecostal churches, and this has happened in many places already.
    To say 'No' to this spirit you will start to experience opposition in this life. You can dream along well enough and live a life of carnal pleasure, telling yourself you are Christian, without having too much trouble from this spirit, because in this way you are still held captive. Try to break free, and you will see what it is.
    God has promised to judge and destroy this spirit and its works. This will not come without pain to the people of the world.
    We may well be entering the season of this kind of judgment, with the collapse of economic systems. Yet, I believe that this Babylonian spirit has not yet come to the zenith of its power. We will have to persevere and endure for some time yet. Things may get worse before they can get better.
    Even so, we can get the claws of Jezebel and Babylon out of our own lives. We do this by taking an uncompromising stand for truth in an age of religious expediency. We do it chiefly by embracing the cross. Those who do not are enemies of the cross of Christ, whose end is destruction. (Philippians 3:18,19).
    "18 For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: 19whose end is destruction, whose god is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame--who set their mind on earthly things."
    We have to be willing to actually suffer for Jesus if we want to defeat this evil power. It is by saying 'No' to the cravings of our flesh and to carnal ambition that we can be the true servants of the Lord in an age of "deep darkness" (Isaiah 60).
    The cross is the place where we truly meet the Messiah. Any "anointing" which is not rooted in the cross is a false jezebel anointing. Such false anointings can be used to gather people together to hear what their itching ears want to hear (2 Timothy 4:3). And many are impressed because the people so gathered can be induced to give large amounts of money to the cause. This then multiplies the influence of this false spirit.
    If we keep the cross central in our lives and our teaching, we will do much to escape this spirit. For their is no deliverance from its witchcraft and its sorceries on the fleshly side of the cross. The man who is dead and hid in God will escape her, but the ungodly and the fool will not.


    The Jezebel spirit that operates in the Church is usually camouflaged much better than even the tares and false teachers. The Jezebel spirit controls someone who is most often in ministry and close to the headship.

    Remember the biblical Jezebel was able to
    mary the King and keep power even after his death through their sons who ascended the throne.

    This is her agenda....power. She does not care if she gets it through back door politics or outright intimidation and controlling the people with witchcraft and false accusations. This spirit will help small problems and conflicts turn into divisions and wars. Jezebel will rage against any church growth and revival.

A Jezebel 'spirit' will use lies, gossip, evil surmising, and flat out "false accusations" to achieve her agenda in controlling the groups and sub-groups (cliques) in the church.

 

 

From small and insignificant silly arguments (little foxes) to fomenting hatred and hostility against those she is threatened by.

 

 

When God sends a true prophet/preacher to help the ministry, she will immediately sense true anointing will expose her for what she is and her sins brought to light and begin her campaign to run them off by turning the people against them.

 

 

Jezebel hates God ordained authority! She will act submitted to the local headship, whether it is her relative or not...in most cases it will be spouse or child that is in leadership. She knows how to mimic the anointing, and often does so through music and or fleshly "rah-rah" cheer leading like preaching or testifying.

 

This spirit manifests a "crying spirit" quite often that seems authentic, but secretly takes pleasure in destroying those she feels are a threat to her "reign." She really believes she is a "prophetess" of God, but no one else recognizes her position, thus she is deceived  it's lawful for her to manipulate and control behind the scenes.

 

 

Often in smaller congregations the women who are infected by this spirit will have spouses that will not be faithful in attendance /walk...because the Jezebel in these women want to maintain spiritual headship, and will overtly and sub-consciously keep their spouses from their biblical position. Or they will turn their spouse in leadership into their own puppet. Men who are infected will undermine leadership through holding back finances and never helping the ministry in "helps and administrations. Of course they will gossip with those also infected and murmur & complain, causing division and creating heresy.

 

 

There will always be many afflicted with both physical and mental conditions. Depression will be prevalent and anxieties rampant as well as sexual immorality. Should the Pastor or leader not be an "Ahab" that lets his "Queen" run things, he will probably be clueless that his wife called him to pastor and God did not! {Jeremiah 23}

 

 

Another major sign of the Jezebel spirit in ministry will be a "match-making of marriages." Not the harmless type where people like to see "lonely hearts" find love, but to help their agenda in manipulating and controlling for 'filthy lucre sake, and against scripture even "forbid to marry."

 

 

There will be other 'signs' when one looks closer and prays for discernment. While preaching against certain entertainment and worldly amusements, the Ahab/Jezebel family sneaks off and partakes of the forbidden activities. There will also be an attraction to "goddess worship" of worldly television and Media "Queens" who "creep into houses taking captive silly women, laden with sins, led away by divers lust." 2 Tim 3:6

 

 

There will also be reading material that has 'new age' "positive mental attitude" (PMA) influences and even science-fiction of the "Harry Potter/Witch &wardrobe" sort, which will reveal this spirit's leanings. Crystals,candles,incense, owls,frogs, unicorns, fantasy creatures and such-like will also be prevalent.

Also one can find unusual affinity towards things pertaining to "witchcraft" ie astrology, herbs and healing potions obtained from their "walking in the counsel of the ungodly." Psm 1:1...Behind the scenes Jezebel will teach the women how to "spike" their family's food with many of her concoctions and in some areas where "backwoods hoodoo" is present, recitation of 'spells' disguised as biblical blessings are used. The 'key' will be that things will be taught in secret that are not taught in open where the "Biblical studied" can hear.

 

 

A Jezebel spirit will not allow revival and Church growth if she and Ahab cannot get 100% of the Glory! The few evangelists that are allowed to hold meetings are usually the same "circuit" preachers who will cow-tow to her whims so they can come back for a paycheck.

 

 

This is this end-time "strong delusion" that will beset us if we are not prayed up and studied up in this hour! Many congregations are fighting this spirit at the very top levels of ministry where this spirit seeks to destroy 'CALLED' leadership vs ambitions of  "that woman" and "The System" itself becomes Jezebel." "Queen of Heaven-Mother of God" is the title that "Simeramis" the Wife of Nimrod, took upon herself and all of the "System" of false religion sprang from it's systematic practice and occult sorcery. So when "the system" becomes "Queen" it is because "That woman Jezebel" has taken over the headship!

 

 

So what we see here as these two are connected,(Nico-lateans) is an AHAB & JEZEBEL ruling over God's Church.

From the Greek, 'Nico' means to rule over and conquer, and 'laitanes' means laity. So it is an oppressive usurping of God's authority over his flock instead of serving in love and humility.

 

 

While Ahab is seen as the "King" who proclaims the "Royal" edicts (suggested by the Queen) that the people must follow or be excommunicated etc...it is always Jezebel that is behind the scenes teaching and pointing to their "throne" as divine and offering position and rewards to faithful followers.

 

 

 

 

Jezebel hates a true prophet of God and will always try to control the "tongues and interpretations and prophetic uttering in the church. Since she has her spies everywhere, it seems her 'prophesying' is always on target..but not as the Spirit reveals. Those who are deceived because they are under her spell, are participating unfortunately in adultery and fornication (spiritually) by "worshiping" this heresy.

 

 

That is why it is so important not to receive accusations without 2 or 3 witnesses. Satan is the accuser of the brethren! Saints forgive and restore. Murderers hate their brother/sister when they repeat accusations and gossip.

 

 

 

 

The word is clear that in these last days God will send a "strong delusion" to those who love not the truth, and they shall believe a lie." Jesus commands us to love and forgive.",they that love me, obey my commandments."

 

 

Do not fall in with those who participate in destroying the vineyard...2 or 3 witnesses (eye witnesses) or I don't want to hear it!

 

 

We know the end of Jezebel! As Mystery Babylon the Great, Mother of harlots dies at the hand of the nations that she seduced, so will those who give themselves over to this spirit in this hour. More and more in this last hour, "Jezebel' will be exposed and if saints who have played with her do not repent...they will be turned over reprobate into "The Apostasy" and believe a lie!

 

 

Because lust and greed are the 'controlling spirits' of these tandems, they will lead all that follow into hell with them when and if confronted with "The Mark" as they will never let go of their ill gained goods.

 

In ministries where the Pastor has good discernment, the Jezebel spirit will be less obvious and not many of the above signs can be noticed. 

 

 

 

 

Because she ( Mystery Babylon/Jezebel) is "drunk with the blood of the saints....it's like the blood of Abel...crying out of her for justice that will condemn her to the lake of fire with the Beast and Dragon.

 

 

The Murderous Spirit of Jezebel in the Roman Catholic Emperor Popes and their Inquisitions

 

In the Ephesus and Smyrna Church Period, we saw it was the Pagan Roman Emperors who butchered and tortured more than a million of God’s Children to preserved and unify their Pagan Religion and Empire. In the Pergamos Church Period, we saw it was Roman Catholic Emperors and Kings of Europe who persecuted God’s People to preserve and unify their Pagan-Nicolaitan-Balaamite Catholic Religion and Empire. In the Thyatira Church Period, Luciferian Roman Catholic Popes are the one ordering the death of God’s Priestly Saints to preserve and unify their Babylonian Roman Catholic Religion and so-called Holy Roman Empire, which was definitely not holy! Whoever called this empire “holy” must have been a very facetious, sardonic, sarcastic, and scornful individual.

 

All the Emperors and Kings of Europe together could not match Lucifer’s son Pope Innocent III, who was definitely not innocent. This child of Lucifer became Pope in 1198 AD, and at the beginning of the 13th century, he set up the foundation for the demonic Inquisition to exist. The Inquisition lasted from 1200-1700 AD. This heartless, cruel, inhuman Catholic organization, whom had the blessings, approval, and support of the Popes of Rome for 500 years sought out God’s Children as heretics. These children of Lucifer brutally tortured millions of innocent God fearing and Christ loving men, women, children, and babies by every demonic device that could be devised by the imagination of demon-possessed men.

 

Some of the tortures mentioned in history are: ripping and cutting babies out of the wombs of their mothers and then smashing the baby’s head - covering the bodies of God’s Children with pitch and burning them alive - laying their victims down on iron spike beds - using racks to stretch the arms and legs of God’s Children until their bones became separated, and many other satanic tortures. No honest and intelligent person can deny that these things did not happen, for you can read about them in both Catholic and Protestant histories. There has never been a Catholic Pope in the History of mankind, until 1998 AD, who had ever made a formal world apology for the demonic actions of Pope Innocent III and the Popes who followed him.

 

The Microsoft Encarta Encyclopedia 99, under the heading “Ecclesiastical Courts” spoke of the Inquisition of the Popes of Rome this way: After [Babylonian Roman Catholic] Christianity became the STATE RELIGION of Rome, the ecclesiastical courts were incorporated into the Roman judicial system…. In time they became part of a complex system exercising jurisdiction delegated by the Pope in his capacity as the supreme judicial powerin the [Roman Catholic] Christian Church. Then, as the secular power of Rome declined and its institutions decayed, the ecclesiastical courts began to assume jurisdiction in secular affairs. In the Middle Ages [i.e. around 1200 AD], the [Babylonian Roman Catholic] Church reached the zenith of its power: It became a WORLD STATE, the POPES became temporal POTENTATES, and canon law and the jurisdiction of the ecclesiastical courts were extended to embrace virtually the entire range of human relationships. Extension of the jurisdiction of the ecclesiastical courts was facilitated by the dual character of the princes of the Church as functioning ecclesiastics—that is, Bishops, Archbishops, Cardinals, and Popes—and as powerful landowners and temporal [Secular] RULER…. Beginning in the 13th century [1200 AD], the great judicial power of the [Babylonian Roman Catholic] Church was manifested especially through the tribunal commonly called the Holy Office [i.e. the INQUISITION], created to ferret [i.e. search or hunt] out and punish [so-called] heresy (see Inquisition).

 

The horrors of torture to compel someone to confess their so-called religious crimes against Catholicism was used by the Inquisition in Europe throughout the centuries. The four Popes who were the greatest users and supporters of the Inquisition in their demonic activities were: Gregory IX (R. 1227-1241), Innocent IV (R. 1243-1254), Paul III (R. 1534-49), and Pius V (R. 1566-72). The Popes of Rome conferred supervision of the Inquisition, that is, the office of Inquisitor, to the Monks of the Franciscan and Dominican orders, who were better known in those days by the blasphemous name of the Militia of Jesus Christ. These two Satanic Orders of Inquisitors had equal authority and were in charge of each Tribunal, that is the Court of Injustice. They were aided in their demonic work by assistants, notaries, police, and counselors. Because they had supreme authority from the Pope, that is, they answered to no authority but the Pope, they could excommunicate even Princes. Therefore, the Inquisitors definitely inspired fear in everyone, even in the Kings of Europe.

 

Pope Innocent III and His Power Over Kings: According to the World Book Encyclopedia, “Innocent III [R. 1198-1216 AD] is often considered the greatest of the medieval Popes. His most significant contribution to history was the creation of a doctrine of Papal authority that has defined the Pope’s power to this day…. Innocent created a new vision of papal power. He called the Pope the ‘Vicar of Christ’ [i.e. Ruling in the place of Christ], and described the Pope as being below God, but above all other people… Innocent… claim that the Pope had the right to examine and approve those elected to the imperial throne [of the Holy Roman Empire].  Innocent involved himself in the affairs of France and England. He declared that the Pope could judge secular (non-religious) ‘matters of sin,’ a broad definition that could include almost any matter. Innocent excommunicated King John of England after John refused to recognize the Pope’s appointee for Archbishop of Canterbury…. John submitted to the Pope. He surrendered England and Ireland to the Pope and received them back as Papal fiefs (feudal estates). [162]

 

Collier’s Encyclopedia declared: Under Innocent III the Papacy reached its peak of power as the four kingdoms of Sicily, Aragon, Portugal, and England acknowledge him as their feudal suzerain…. The institution of the Papal Inquisition at the end of the 12th century and the beginning of the 13th also led to the supplanting of Episcopal [Bishops] by Papal authority in an important field…. The foundation of the Franciscans and Dominicans in the pontificate of Innocent IIIwas a further step toward centralizing ecclesiastical power in Rome…. More important for the development of the Inquisition was Innocent’s equation of heresy in the Church with treachery against the state. ‘The civil law punishes traitors withconfiscation of their goods and with death. [163]

 

The Inquisition made the Popes of Rome the most feared man on earth. In 1208 AD, Innocent III gave his Papal Decree for the extermination of the Albigensian (the Cathari); from 1208 through 1229 AD hundredths of thousands of God loving men, women and children were murdered because this son of Satan said they were heretics. Much of Southern France became desolated because of this act of terror and genocide. This man who is the Vicar of Lucifer, who sit on Satan’s Throne in Rome, along with all the Popes before and after him, had the gall to blasphemy against Christ by promised those who committee these acts of murder “indulgences” and “absolution” from all their sins. O’ what blasphemy men commit when the Old Serpent deceives them in thinking they are god. Small groups of Albigenses survived in isolated areas and were pursued by the Inquisition as late as the 14th century.

 

The Inquisition of Pope Gregory IX: Gregory (R. 1227-41) was made a cardinal by his uncle Pope Innocent III, and in 1227 AD he became Pope. Gregory in 1231 issued the constitutionExcommunicamus, which placed the prosecution of heretics under papal direction and thus established the Inquisition. By this action, this son of Satan lessened the Catholic Bishops’ responsibility for orthodoxy, placed inquisitors under the special jurisdiction of the Papacy, and established their powers and responsibilities. Under the Pope’s Edict or Papal Bull, all Ecclesiastical Authorities had to commanded that their clergy and laity seek our and find God’s Children in their cities, towns, and villages, so they could be turned over to the Inquisition. Local secular officials were commanded to search forests, caves and villas, so they could find the places God’s People were hiding and turn them over to the Inquisition. In other words, Satan made an all out effort that lasted 500 years to destroy God’s Churches.

 

The Inquisition operated chiefly in France, Germany, Italy, and Spain, as well as other places. Working in secret, the Inquisitors often misused their power. Anyone who was accused by someone or suspected of believing any Christian doctrine that was contrary to their Babylonian Catholic doctrines was tortured until a confession was given. If man, woman, boy, or girl refused to change their beliefs, they were sentenced to be burnt alive at a staked in the public square. If the accused recanted of their supposed heresy and confessed Catholicism, they were immediately put to death, that is, before he or she could denounce Catholicism. If the accused was wealthy, the so-called Holy Office seized his or her possessions! 

 

Collier’s Encyclopedia speaking of this declared: Inquisitors replace the Episcopal courts as instruments to deal with [so-called] heretics…. The ecclesiastical courts did not ordinarily accept the testimony of criminals, heretics, or excommunicants, but the Inquisitors did, and also took the word of children. The accused were NOT confronted by the witnesses, although they were told their names…. If the judges failed to obtain a voluntary confession from a person, … they applied various means of torture, usually the rack…. The death penalty, usually burning at the stake, was carried out by the civil authority to which Inquisitorial Court had given the condemned [so-called] heretic. It was clear what the Secular Prince would do with such persons, so that the Inquisition [who enforced the Pope’s Bull] can hardly be exonerated by the fact that it did not directly execute heretics. [164]

 

Pope Innocent IV and His Papal Inquisition: According to the above encyclopedia: The Inquisition became under him [R. Innocent IV, 1243-1254] a regular instrument of papal policy: torture as a means of discovering the truth was ordered by him…. Like his predecessors, Innocent IV was insistent on the exercise of his true monarchic functions, thus reducing the role of the secular power, the Holy Roman Empire, to a mere lieutenancy…. According to him, the Papal plenitude of power embraced everything and everyone. [165]

 

Pope Innocent VIII and His Papal Inquisition: After the Albigenses were crushed, the Waldenses became the victims of the Inquisition in France. In 1487 AD Lucifer’s son Pope Innocent VIII (R. 1484-1492) organized a crusade against them in Dauphiné and Savoy (both now part of France). Many Waldenses took refuge in Switzerland and Germany, merging gradually with the Bohemian Brethren. In 1535 AD they paid for the publication in Switzerland of the first French Protestant Version of the Bible. Lucifer and his demons must have had some hard belly laughs with all the Popes who were named Innocent; one thing is for sure, he was well pleased with them! How can anyone but a devil calling torturing devout Christians until they said what the Inquisitors wanted them to say, truth justice or God’s will. Now my readers should be able to understand why everyone, including the Kings of Europe, feared the Popes of Rome in this Church Period; for no one was exempt from the powers of the Inquisition. The Inquisition made the Pope of Rome the indisputable Ruler in Europe. As I said before, from 1200-1700 AD or for 500 years, the Pope’s Holy Office or the Inquisition tortured and burned at the stake millions of Christ Loving, God Fearing, Holy Living men, women, and children and claim they were doing god’s will!

 

Many of the Martyrs the Catholic Inquisition Tortured and Murdered Were God’s Apostolic Pentecostals Children During this Period: Many of the so-called heretics that were martyred during this period were One God, Jesus Name Christians, who were also known as Oneness Anabaptist. According to some histories, some of these Oneness Christians ones existed throughout Spain from the eight through the fifteenth century. Weisser quoting from Robinson’s book entitled Ecclesiastical Researches says Robinson: mentions groups deemed heretical by the Catholics.... [They]‘were called in general Anabaptists. In a council held at Lerida, in the archbishopric of Tarragon, it was decreed... [that] Antitrinitarians, who had been baptized in the name of Christ,’ would be force to confess the doctrines of Catholicism. [166] The reason why most of God’s People during this Period were known as Oneness Anabaptist was because they would rebaptize their converts in the precious, holy, sin cleansing name of the Lord Jesus Christ and teach them the supreme Deity of Christ!

 

Blunt says: Antitrinitarianism then appears to be, NOT the genuine product of the Reformation, but the offspring of a school [of belief] which had existed in the Church for CENTURIES BEFORE the Reformation was dreamt of.... The Antitrinitarian principle in early times expended itself in producing the Sabellian… heresies of Gilbert de la Porree, and Joachim, abbot of Flora, which were met in the fourth Lateran Council AD 1215. [167] Obviously these men, who represented certain groups of God’s Churches at that time were Apostolic Jesus’ Name Preachers, and as usual, the Catholic Councils and Inquisition of their day cursed, hated, persecuted, and put them to death. Blunt also declared that the Catholic Councils were still condemning “Sabellianism” in the fourteenth century. He said a: charge of the heresy [was brought]… against a portion of the Armenian Church by Benedict XII, see Raynald (Contin. of Baron.) AD 1341. [168] Arnold revealed that as Vincent Ferrer (1357-1419 AD): passed through Greek, German, Sardinian, Hungarian, and other people, he found effusions of Pentecostal phenomena - tongues, miracles, healing. [169] Hastings informs us that Pope: Eugenius 4 found it necessary to remind the Jacobites, in his decree dated 4th Feb. 1441 that the Church ‘condemns Sabellius for confusing the Persons and for thus altogether doing away with the real distinction between them. [170] 

 

According to The Church Teaches, the Seventeenth Ecumenical Council in 1442 AD condemned the Jacobites, who were Modalist Monarchians. These sons of Satan wrote: the Father is not the Son or the Holy Spirit; the Son is not the Father or the Holy Spirit; the Holy Spirit is not the Father or the Son.... Therefore, the holy Roman Church condemns, disapproves, anathematizes, and declares to be separated from the body of Christ, which is the Church, all who hold any contrary opinions. Consequently, she condemns Sabellius. [171] Even in the fifteenth century the Catholic Church was still pronouncing their Satanic curses on God’s indestructible Church. Surely by now my readers must realize that that the One God, Jesus’ Name, Apostolic, Modalist Monarchian, Anabaptist, Pentecostal Church never ceased to exist. It would be stupid for the Roman Catholic Church to continually condemn a Church Movement, century after century, that was suppose to have died in the third century. 

 

 

 

 

The Murderous Spirit of Jezebel in the Protestant Reformers and their Inquisitions

 

The Persecution of God’s Apostolic Pentecostal Church by Martin Luther and the Monarchs Who Married Lutheranism: Since we have examined the persecution of God’s holy Children by the Catholic Inquisitions, let us now examine other side of the head of the battle-ax of the sun-god Tyrimnos (Baal), that is, the Protestant Inquisitions. The EncyclopediaAmericana speaking of the Luther’s Inquisition says: The Reformation provided the Inquisition with new opportunity for the extirpation of [so-called] heresy, and the Protestants paid it tribute by adopting many of its attitudes andprocedures. Luther… was as severe as any Inquisitor in his attitude toward religious radicals, such as the Anabaptist. [172] According to history, Luther and his followers also hated God’s Anabaptist Apostolic Pentecostal Churches. As a result, they set up a Lutheran Inquisition to murder God’s holy and innocent Children. Professor Roland H. Bainton in his great work “Hunted Heretic” wrote: The dissemination [i.e. enormous spreading] of Anabaptism was so broad that both Catholics and Lutherans feared the established churches would be displaced.... At the Diet of Speyer in 1529 both Catholics and Lutherans agreed to subject them to the DEATH penalty throughout theHoly Roman Empire.... They did not burn Catholics, but they drowned Anabaptist and they beheaded and burned Anti-Trinitarians [i.e. One God, Jesus Name Anabaptist] whose beliefs were repugnant to most Protestants as well as to Catholics. [173]

 

Microsoft Encarta Encyclopedia 99 speaking of some of the main places where God’s Anabaptist Apostolic Pentecostal Children dwelt stated: Another prominent denomination, the Unitarians [i.e. mostly One God, Jesus Name Unitarians], included a considerable number of followers in Switzerland, Germany, the Netherlands, and Poland (Heading: Reformation). Oneness Anabaptists were in many countries during the reformation, that is, Germany, Holland, Switzerland, Spain, Italy, France, England, etc. Why would Catholics and Lutherans, who hated each other as heretics, join together and form a union to burn God’s Children? This does not make any sense! Both of these Satan inspired Religious Organizations evidently were not only scared of some of God’s Children revival evangelistic spirit in the 16th century, but they must have hated them more then they hated each other. In other words, they both had a common enemy that scared them to death.

 

1525- 1532 AD: The Persecution of Bernhard Rothmann, A One God Jesus’ Name Preacher, by Luther’s Inquisition: According to professor Earle Cairns, in his Christianity Through The Centuries: The Anabaptist in Germany faced extinction… from the state. Bernhard Rothmann, one of the canons of the cathedral of Munster, began an effort to win Munster to the evangelical faith. In 1532... the Emperor ordered the bishop of Munster to drive out Rothmann and his followers, who were...proposing to sell property to aid the poor. Cairns continued by saying that the Anabaptist denied: the ideas of Luther and Zwingli. [174] Arnold, referring to F. H. Little work entitled Reformation Studies, Essays in Honor of R. H. Bainton, spoke of Rothmann as a Jesus’ Name Anabaptist. He says: the great preachers, writers, scholars - Bernhard Rothmann and Jan van Leyden [in 1525 AD] - burst into the medieval theistic scene…. They were monotheistic, and pious partakers of the Holy Ghost, and knew Pentecostal glossolalia.... Rothmann preached, ‘True baptism is the entrance to the Church and there is no other gate to Eternal Life.... Let yourself be baptized in Christ’s Name…. [He] was one of the greatest medieval Protestant preachers, and learned writer: Bekentnisse, and Restitution. He definitely used Peter’s Acts 2:1-4; 2:38 in baptismal services.... He refuted both Catholicism and Lutheranism, and tirelessly researched until he found ninth century Oneness Pentecostalism and continued in it.  [175]

 

1541 AD: The Persecution of God’s Apostolic Pentecostal Church by John Calvin and the Monarchs Who Married Calvinism: The Encyclopedia Americana speaking of the Calvin’s Inquisition stated: Calvin introduced inquisitorial procedures into Geneva…[in] 1541. There were many victims, the most notable being Michael Servetus, who was burned in 1553. [176] Let’s briefly look at Servetus’ accomplishments, beliefs and martyrdom.

 

AD 1531-1553 AD: The Persecution of Miguel Servetus, A One God, Jesus’ Name Preacher, by Calvin’s Inquisition: The greatest Antitrinitarian, Anabaptist, Sabellian Preacher in the sixteenth century was without a doubt Miguel Servetus. This man was a Theologian, Author, and an outstanding Medical Research Doctor. He was in his theology a Modalist Monarchian who held a slightly different view then most Oneness Preachers on the Logos before Bethlehem. Moyer speaking about him as a Medical Scientist said, Servetus was: the real discoverer of the pulmonary circulation of the blood. [177] Because he was branded as a heretic, he did not receive the credit he deserved for his discovery at that time. In fact, it was not until the 20th century, that medical science given him the credit he so justly deserved for this great medical discovery.

 

Dr. Bainton declared that Servetus was the on the MOST WANTED DEAD or ALIVE list of both Catholic and Protestant’s inquisitors. Blunt speaking of him as an Author and Reformer stated: In 1531 his book De Erroribus Trinitatis was printed, and in the next year also, at Hagenau, Dialogorum De Trinitate Libri Duo. These books raised a great tumult among the German divines, and, circulating in Italy, were much approved by many who had thoughts of leaving the Church of Rome. In 1553, the year of his execution, he published at Vienna another book of Antitrinitarianism, Christianismi Restitutio. [178] Robert Wallace in his Antitrinitarian Biography spoke of Servetus’ last book and his great evangelistic spirit wrote: His avowed object in the composition of this book was to bring back the Christian world to what he conceived to be the primitive standard of faith; and it was for this reason that he entitled it ‘The Restoration of Christianity’…. Walchius regarded him as a favourer of Sabellianism…. [Servetus] infers that neither the Logos, nor the Holy Spirit, is a person really distinct from the Father, but only a kind of revelation of the divine nature. [179] 

 

Servetus died as a true martyr for the Lord Jesus Christ. After the Catholic Inquisition arrested Servetus in Paris and had him placed in prison, Servetus somehow escaped. As he was fleeing for his life, he stopped over in Geneva where he was recognized and arrested by Calvin’s Inquisition. Not only did Calvin have him arrested, but also he personally acted as the prosecuting attorney against him. Calvin had him convicted and sentence to be burnt alive as an Anabaptist Antitrinitarian. One of the reasons why Calvin hated Servetus was because Servetus initiated long written debates with Calvin under a Pseudonym Name, in which he debated with him on topics such as the Godhead, the New Birth, Free-Will, etc. Servetus taught these doctrines from a One God, Jesus Name point of view.

 

Servetus hated Calvin’s Predestination Doctrine that God has foreordained some of mankind to be lost and others to be saved. Calvin taught this doctrine of hell this way: We call predestination God’s eternal decree, by which He determined within Himself what He willed to become of each man. For all are not created in equal condition; rather, eternal life is foreordained for some, eternal damnation for others" (Institutes 3. 21. 5). It was Calvin who discovered that the one who was always reproving and correcting him in these written debates, that is his theology, was actually Servetus. When Calvin realized this, he informed the Catholic Inquisition in Paris the name Servetus was using in his medical practice.

 

According to Wallace, while he was in prison in Geneva, a minister by the name of Farel visited him. Farel: strenuously urged him to recant: but Servetus, in reply to Farel’s repeated solicitations, implored him to produce one solitary passage of Scripture, in which it is stated, the Christ was called ‘the Son of God,’ before His birth of the Virgin Mary; and though he was fully alive to the awful situation in which he stood, and knew that he would be shortly summoned into the presence of his final Judge, neither threats not enticements could prevail upon him to retract…. When he [Servetus] was led to the place of execution, he repeatedly cried out, ‘O God! Save my soul.... As soon as he came in sight of the Lieu de Champel, he prostrated himself on the earth, and continued for some time in fervent prayer to God.... Servetus now rose from the earth, and Farel urged him to address the assembled multitude, probably in the delusive hope, that he might be induced, at the last moment, to retract. But Servetus still continued to invoke the name of the Almighty; and when Farel persisted in urging him to speak, he asked him, what he could say different from what he had already said? Wallace describing his death said: Servetus was fastened to the trunk of a tree fixed in the earth, his feet reaching to the ground; and a crown of straw and leaves, sprinkled over with brimstone, was placed upon his head. His body was bound to the stake with an iron chain, and a coarse twisted rope was loosely thrown round his neck. His books were then fastened to his thigh; and he requested the executioner to put him out of his misery as speedily as possible. The pile was then lighted, and he cried out in so piteous a tone, as to excite the deep and earnest sympathy of the spectators. [180]

 

When Dr. Servetus had suffered for some time, a few of them, from feelings of compassion, and with a view to put an end to his misery, supplied the fire with a quantity of fresh fuel. One of Servetus’ biographers stated that many copies of his De Erroribus Trinitatis, Dialogorum De Trinitate Libri Duo and Christianismi Restitutio were piled around his feet and used as fuel to burn him. Servetus died a victorious martyr’s death on October 27, 1553. Truly, this was a great Modalist Monarchian Anabaptist Man of God. Surely this was the Church Period where Satan offered up God’s Children as one continuous burnt sacrifice on his altars of Catholicism and Protestantism. Servetus in his book On the Errors of the Trinity wrote, Christ Jesus: is really the Father…. He Himself is the face of the Father, nor is there any other person of God but Christ; there is no other hypostasis of God but Him…. They [the Trinitarians] say that one portion [of God], I say that the whole nature of God is in Him. In Him is the whole Deity of the Father…. He is God and the Lord of the world…. The Father is in the Son. [181] Servetus commenting on Colossians 1:19 and 2:9 in his Dialogues on the Trinity in Two Treatises wrote: the whole fullness of God, the whole of God the Father together with all the fullness of his properties, whatever God has, this dwells fully in this man. [182]

 

Professor Roland Bainton, in his Early and Medieval Christianity, spoke of Servetus’ role as a Theologian. He said: Servetus examined the New Testament and was perfectly amazed to discover that this tenet [the Trinity], so rigorously required and so obstinately refused, was actually NOT formulated in the Sacred Scriptures.... The word Trinity does NOT occur. The key word, homoousios, that is to say that the Son is consubstantial with the Father, is likewiseabsent.... Servetus was convinced that nothing should be deemed essential to the Christian faith, which is not in the Scriptures. [183] Servetus was a fine Greek and Hebrew Scholar, who using the literal method of interpreting scriptures. Bainton quoted Servetus as saying: I do not separate Christ from God any more than a voice from the speaker.... Christ is in the Father as a voice from the speaker. He and the Father are one.... An amazing mystery it is that God can thus be conjoined with man and man with God. A great wonder that God has taken to Himself the body of Christ.... Because His [Jesus’] Spirit was wholly God He is called God, just as from His flesh he is called man. Do not marvel that what you call humanity I adore as God. [184]

 

Another sixteenth century Anabaptist leader was a man named David Joris. According to Professor Harnack: David Joris subjected the Trinity to a Sabellian treatment, representing it as a threefold revelation of God.[185] According to Dr. Bainton, Joris wrote a strong letter to Calvin and his band of murderers to spare: the good pious Servetus [who] was delivered into [their] hands through no kindness and love, but rather through envy and hate, as will be made manifest at the last judgment to those whose eyes are darkened by base cunning, and to whom the truth is unknown. [186] Wallace also said: Minus Celsus related, that the constancy [i.e. steadfastness] of Servetus, in the midst of the fire, induced many to go over to his opinion; and Calvin makes it an express subject of complaint, that there were many persons in Italy, who cherished, and revered his memory. [187] Servetus was greatly loved and respected as a medical doctor by both Catholics and Protestants throughout Europe. Many very powerful secular leaders of Europe did not take his death lightly. According to some historians, LIBERTY ofCONSCIENCE MOVEMENTS began shortly after Servetus’ martyrdom!

 

While God was stirring men conscience over Servetus’ death, Satan was raising up one of the most demon possessed men who ever lived - Ignatius of Loyola. This man, who was a Luciferian and believed in Zoroastrian Religion, started a Catholic Order called the Jesuits. This order of men worked alongside the Inquisition and actually increased their effectiveness in persecuting God’s Children. All the histories written about them could not begin to tell all the evil the Jesuits committed over the centuries. Is it not strange that during the Protestant Reformation that certain Protestant religious organizations enjoyed religious freedom provided by the governments who protected them, while God’s Apostolic, Pentecostal, Anabaptist Children were being hunted and burnt alive? In this Church Period, Satan preferred people to believe in Catholicism, but if they chose to believe in Protestantism, it was all right, just as long as they did not believe the truth of God’s New Birth message or the Oneness of God! Satan knew from centuries of persecution of God’s Children, that no amount of persecution he could bring to them could stop them. He also knew that the more he persecuted and put them to death, the more people from other so-called Christian Religions joined them, that is, after watching their victorious sufferings and death.

 

1547-1564 AD: The Renowned Catholic Theologian and Later Protestant Professor, Bernardino Ochino Became One of God’s Persecuted One God, Jesus’ Preachers:Blunt speaking of the persecution of the Oneness Anabaptist Christians who believed and preached the doctrines of Servetus wrote: The followers of Servetus were principally to be found in Lombardy, the best known of them being Bernardino Ochino. They were driven from Lombardy by the Inquisition, and also from Switzerland, eventually finding a home in Poland. [188] Bernardino Ochino, who was the vice-general of a Catholic order of monks, was a man of great piety and sanctity. The Catholic people of Italy loved his fiery powerful preaching. In 1541 AD, God’s grace reached out to this man, and he came out of Catholicism and became a Protestant Reformer. In 1547, he became an Oxford Professor and was appointed canon of Canterbury in England. In 1553, he became a devoted follower of Servetus and from that time on he was hated by both the Catholic and Protestant hierarchy. He fled Geneva and became a Pastor in Zurich. After awhile: the Zurich council denied him the privilege of preaching and he took refuge among Italian friends in Poland. Through Catholic influence, he was soon forced to leave country again and became a fugitive. Found asylum among the Hutterian Anabaptist, died in Austerlitz in 1564. [189] In 1563, Ochino published his book entitled Thirty Dialogues, which also contained his one God or One-Person belief in the Jesus’ godhead.

 

1569-1573 AD: Catholic and Protestant’s Persecution of God’s Apostolic Pentecostal Anabaptist Churches in Poland: Wallace wrote of the One God, Jesus’ Name, Anabaptist movement in Poland. He declared they: First formed themselves into Churches in the year 1569. In the autumn of that year, when their affairs were in a very discouraging state, Ronemberg went with Jerome Philipovious, George Schomann, and some others, into Moravia, for the purpose of hold a conference with the Brethren in Moravia. But to their surprise, these Brethren: believed in the doctrine of the Trinity. But God says Schomann: taking compassion upon us, restored our fallen affairs, by that excellent man, Simon the Apothecary. Schomann, who was one of their ministers, stated in his book “The Will”: On the last day of August, 1572, I, being in the forty-second year of my age, was baptized in the name of Christ at Chmielnik;’ and ‘in the year 1573, I was sent to the ministry of the Minor Church at Cracow. [190]  Schomann wrote in the preface of his book, to the: little and afflicted flock in Poland, which was baptized in the name of Jesus of Nazareth, to all those who thirst after Eternal Salvation. [191]

 

1645-1695 AD: God’s One God, Jesus’ Name Persecuted Churches in England: Saltmarsh wrote a book entitled The Smoke In The Temple, which was published in England in 1645. According to Weisser, Saltmarsh revealed that there were people in his day who preached: The Baptism of Jesus Christ by water was only in the Name of Jesus Christ. They believed: The form by which they [the Roman Catholic] baptize, viz. I baptize thee in the Name of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost, is a form of man's devising, a tradition of man, a mere consequence drawn from supposition and probability, and not a form left by Christ. [192] Since England did not have the Inquisition, they placed God’s Children in prison for preaching this doctrine and also against the Trinity.

 

1646 AD: According to Wallace, Thomas Edwards of England wrote about some so-called heretics, who taught and wrote that baptism in the name of the Trinity was a: Man-made tradition” and that Christian baptism was “only in the name of Jesus Christ. [193]

 

1647-1684 AD: Protestant’s Persecution of George Fox and the Early One God, Jesus’ Name Quakers: George Fox was a great Oneness Pentecostal Puritan Preacher, who founded of the Society of Friends, or Quakers. In 1647, Fox began to preach his “inner light” doctrine, speaking against formalized religion, particularly Presbyterianism, and advocating that each person find his own personal divine communion and relationship with God. Fox definitely believe and promoted speaking in tongues. He was place in prison so many times over the years for boldly preaching the Gospel of Christ that on might say, prison became his home away from home. In 1649, he was imprisoned at Nottingham. A year later, he was jailed at Derby on a trumped-up charge of blasphemy. Fox was jailed again in 1653, in 1656, and from 1664 to 1666.

 

In 1666, although weakened by hardship and the effects of imprisonment, Fox began to devote most of his time to the organization of the Quakers as a Church. Fox embarked on a missionary journey to North America and the West Indies in 1671; on his return to England in 1673, he was again imprisoned, this time for two years. In 1677 and 1684, despite poor health, he traveled to Germany and Holland, preaching his doctrines wherever possible. Synan revealed that the early Quakers definitely experienced the phenomenon of speaking in tongues. [194] Drs. M’Clintock and Strong revealed that speaking in tongues played a big part in the: The disciples of George Fox… those of a later date in Sweden, America, and Ireland, have in like manner, been fruitful in ecstatic phenomena. [195]

 

1660-1700 AD: Protestant’s Persecution of William Penn and the Early One God, Jesus’ Name Quakers: The one of the greatest Antitrinitarian, Anabaptist, Modalist Monarchian of the seventeenth century was William Penn. Around 1660 while attending the University of Oxford, Penn was converted to Quakerism, who had a Oneness Sabellianism godhead belief. The early Quakers according to Wallace: did not believe in the Athanasian doctrine of the Trinity. Wallace went on to say: Penn attacked the notion of three persons in one God, and came out at last with a species of Sabellianism. Penn was one of their most fearless and outspoken preachers of his day. He no doubt was in God’s Hall of Fame Book, that is, the Lamb Book of Life, just as Miguel Servetus, and a host of other Heroes of Faith.

 

In 1666, Penn went to Ireland where his religious beliefs brought him into conflict with the authorities, which resulted in him being place in prison. In 1668, Penn wrote a booklet entitled The Sandy Foundation.  Throughout his book he denounced the Trinity. Penn wrote: If there be three distinct and separate persons... there must be three distinct substances, and consequently three distinct gods. As a result, he was thrown into prison in the Tower of London. In prison, Penn defended his book by saying: I do not believe Christ to be the eternal Son of God... I expressed nothing that divested Christ of His Divinity.... I deny a Trinity of separate persons in the godhead…. Does thou in good earnest think they [Catholicism] were one in judgment with Sabellius, who only rejected the imaginary personality of those times; who at the same instant owned and confessed to the Eternity and Godhead of Christ Jesus our Lord. It is manifest, then that though I may deny the Trinity of separate persons in one godhead, yet I do not consequentially deny the Deity of Jesus Christ. [196] 

 

When Admiral Penn sent one of his servants to visit his son in prison, Penn told him: Thou mayest tell my father, who I know will ask thee, these words; that my prison shall be my grave, before I will budge a jot; for I owe my conscience to no mortal man; I have no need to fear. God will make amends for all. The truth is says Wallace: Penn and the early Quakers, professed to acknowledge Christ, in what they called ‘his double appearance,’ or, as they more commonly expressed it, ‘in the flesh,’ and ‘in the Spirit, He was ‘God over all. He went on to say that early Quakers held: The doctrine of Sabellius… [but expressed it] in the peculiar phraseology of Quakerism. [197] During his imprisonment, Penn wrote his most famous book, No Cross, No Crown, and Innocency with Her Open Eyes (both 1669). In 1671, he was sent to Newgate prison for six months, in which he wrote four treatises; one of them, The Great Cause of Liberty of Conscience, which was a defense of the doctrine of toleration.

 

After Penn was finally released from prison, he went to America and founded the Colony of Pennsylvania in 1682. Pennsylvania was given to Penn by King Charles II of England, as a payment for a debt the King owed Penn’s father Admiral Penn. Penn founded this Colony on the principles that men of all races and creeds should govern themselves in complete religious, political, and intellectual freedom. This concept became know as his Holy Experiment. As a result, the City of Philadelphia became a haven for Quakers and all who desired religious freedom. In 1700, Penn issued his famous Charter of Privileges in Philadelphia, which guarantee religious freedom to all. According to historians, the early Quakers had great revivals, they believed in all the Gifts of the Spirit and God did many miracles through them.

 

1687-1695 AD: God’s Had Many One God, Jesus’ Name Children in England: According to Wallace, in 1687 there were in England: Many who did not want to embrace Unitarianism in its naked simplicity, yet agreed with Penn in discarding the Athanasian Creed, and contented themselves with a belief in a Modal Trinity. [198] In the seventeenth century, a book appeared in England entitled Gangraena, which was written by Thomas Edwards. Wallace says this man compiled a list of a 180 errors that were in the churches of England during his time. Edwards declared that even in: The best Independent Churches and Congregation are mixed assemblies of people with many different beliefs. One of the so-called errors Edward’s names, which some or many of these people believed was: The baptism of Christ by water was only in the name of Jesus Christ, not of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost. [199] Wallace also mention a “Collection of Tracts” that appeared in England in 1695, which were entitled “A Discourse Concerning the Nominal and Real Trinitarians.” Its object was to shew that there was: A clear line of demarcation between these two classes of Trinitarian believers; that the Nominalists, who are properly the Church since they form the large majority of it members. After this, says Wallace, the author of the tracts explained: In a separate section, the doctrine of the ancient Nominalists, or the Noetians and Sabellians; and, after a brief recapitulation, proceeds, in the five following sections, to substantiate the charge of Tritheism against the Realists. [200]
