“Because Christianity is neither Romanism nor Judaism nor Islam, there is no need for the United States, a historically, if not currently, Christian nation, to be involved in the religious wars of the twenty-first century. But because of the influence of American citizens (and non-citizens) who are Jews, Catholics, and Dispensational Evangelicals, we are already involved. In fact, because of our foreign policy of interventionism developed in the twentieth century, and because of our more recent policy of pre-emptive war, the United States has become the primary target of militant Muslims worldwide. And not of Muslims only. Agents of both Israel and Rome are active in the United States, both gathering intelligence and influencing policy. The U. S. government is manipulated by foreign interests. Both Israel and the Vatican see the United States as their proxy in this religious war”[1] (emphasis mine).
Gov. Kristi Noem, a favorite of conservatives and a possible running mate for Donald Trump in 2024, recently signed a bill “requiring the consideration of the definition of antisemitism when investigating unfair or discriminatory practices.”
The bill, titled “An Act to require the consideration of the definition of antisemitism when investigating unfair or discriminatory practices,” reads,
In reviewing, investigating, or deciding whether an alleged violation of this chapter
is antisemitic, the Division of Human Rights must consider the definition of antisemitism.
For the purposes of this chapter, the term “antisemitism” has the same meaning as the
working definition of antisemitism adopted by the International Holocaust Remembrance
Alliance on May 26, 2016, including the contemporary examples of antisemitism identified therein.Nothing in this section may be construed to diminish or infringe upon any protected
right under U.S. Const., amend. I or S.D. Const., Art. VI, § 5, or to conflict with any
federal, state, or local discrimination law.
Pay special attention to the second paragraph. It notes, “Nothing in the section may be construed to diminish or infringe upon any protected right under U.S. Const., amend I….” This is typical of the double-speak of our time where it is almost a sure-fire guarantee that any statement by a politician, academic, or journalist almost certainly means the exact opposite of what it claims to mean. This bill is surely an attack on the First Amendment to insulate Jews and Israel from criticism.

It should come as no surprise that the Roman Church-State, the system of Antichrist, is the master of deception. We have it on the authority of the Lord Jesus that when Satan lies, he speaks from his own resources. In like fashion, so too does his representative organization here on earth, the Roman Catholic Church-State.
This is a general principle one can apply to all of Rome’s decrees. But for my purposes today, I’ll apply it to Rome’s statements about immigration. Even more specifically, I’ll apply it to Rome’s oft-repeated claim that it “recognizes a country’s right and responsibility to manage its borders in accordance with the common good.”[1]
I call Rome’s claim that it “recognizes a country’s right and responsibility to manage its border in accordance with the common good” an extraordinary lie for the simple reason that I have never once seen any official of the Roman Church-State even agree with any government policy that restricts massive welfare migration in any way. Even the smallest measure taken by a government to keep its people from being overrun by the migrant hordes Rome unleashes on its people is met with strident objections from prelates of the Church-State such as Mark J. Seitz, Bishop of El Paso, TX, and U.S. Bishops’ Migration Chairman.

It’s a curious thing to find yourself an object of hatred and derision in the very land founded by your forefathers, but that is the plight of millions of white Americans who have been subject to decades upon decades of official attacks upon them. If you’re a straight, white, Christian man, that goes double for you.
This isn’t a subject – the open, brazen, legal, official, disrespect for, discrimination against, and hatred of America’s white population by an establishment that is itself mostly white – I’ve written much about in the nearly fifteen years I’ve posted content on this blog.
But enough is enough.

“If you abandon Israel, God will never forgive you….”
In his essay “Who Really Owns the ‘Holy Land’?,”[1] Robert Reymond quoted President Bill Clinton’s words before the Israeli Knesset. The full quote in his paper reads,
If you abandon Israel, God will never forgive you…it is God’s will that Israel, the Biblical home of the people of Israel, continue forever and ever…Your journey is our journey, and America will stand with you now and always.”
Now some may find such rhetoric surprising coming from Bill Clinton. After all, isn’t Clinton a Democrat, and, as we are told, Democrats hate all things Israel? Isn’t rabid support for Israel a conservative Christian Republican thing? Well, not so fast. Yes, conservative Republicans certainly are big supporters of Israel, in particular, conservative Republican dispensationalist Christians. But support for Israel crosses party lines.

Speaking before a Republican Jewish Committee audience, newly elected Speaker of the House Mike Johnson said,
Steve Scalise mentioned that my first act as the Speaker was to bring the resolution to make formal and official in the Congressional record our resolve to stand with Israel and against the barbarism of Hamas and all of its accomplices. But I want you to know it’s not an accident that the first resolution was for Israel and my first trip was to come and be with you. I want everybody to know where we stand…Israel and the US enjoy an unbreakable bond. It’s forged over decades, of course, of bi-lateral assistance and there are lots of reasons that we do that…Last night I spoke with him [Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu] on the telephone. The Prime Minister called me, and I used those very words myself. I said, “Bibi, it’s good over evil; it’s light over darkness” …I assured the prime minister of our unwavering support of Israel and her people, and I assured him that our Congress and under my leadership we will be there until the end. We will be there until the end of this conflict. As a Christian, I know and we believe that the Bible teaches very clearly that we’re to stand with Israel; that God will bless the nation that blesses Israel….[1]

In his book Ecclesiastical Megalomania, John Robbins quoted Roman Catholic historian Brian Tierney’s comment on Rome’s doctrine of the of the two swords. This doctrine, which asserts that God had delegated both spiritual and temporal power to the bishop of Rome, is based on Luke 22:38 “And they said, Lord, behold here are two swords. And he said unto them, It is enough.” Wrote Tierney, “A whole inverted pyramid of political fantasy was erected on the basis of this one verse.”[1]
In much the same way as with the doctrine of the two swords, Rome likewise has erected a whole inverted pyramid of immigration fantasy on the basis of three verses in the second chapter of Matthew that record the flight into Egypt.
Now when they had departed, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream, saying, “Arise, take the young Child and His mother, flee to Egypt, and stay there until I bring you word; for Herod will seek the young Child to destroy Him.”
When he arose, he took the young Child and His mother by night and departed for Egypt, and was there until the death of Herod, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying, “Out of Egypt I called My Son” (Matthew 2:13-15).
This flight, according to Pope Pius XII’s[2] 1952 Apostolic Constitution Exsul Familia Nazarethana,[3] the Émigré Family of Nazareth, hereafter EFN, is the “archetype of every refugee family.” In the words of Pius XII,
The émigré Holy Family of Nazareth, fleeing into Egypt, is the archetype of every refugee family. Jesus, Mary and Joseph, living in exile in Egypt to escape the fury of an evil king, are, for all times and all places, the models and protectors of every migrant, alien and refugee of whatever kind who, whether compelled by fear of persecution or by want, is forced to leave his native land, his beloved parents and relatives, his close friends, and to seek a foreign soil.[4]
Clearly, Joseph and his family were refugees under any reasonable definition of the term. Had they remained in Bethlehem, it is certain that Jesus would have been executed by King Herod, who “sent forth and put to death all the male children who were in Bethlehem and in all its districts, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had determined from the wise men” (Matthew 2:16) in his attempt to kill the newborn King of the Jews. Webster’s Seventh New Collegiate Dictionary gives the definition of refugee as, “one who flees to a foreign country or power to escape danger or persecution.” According to the 1951 UN Convention and Protocol Relating to the Status of Refugees, the term refugee applies to “any person who…owing to well-founded fear of being persecuted for reasons of race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group or political opinion, is outside the country of his nationality and is unable or, owing to such fear, is unwilling to avail himself of the protection of that country; or who, not having a nationality and being outside the country of his former habitual residence as a result of such events, is unable or, owing to such fear, is unwilling to return to it.” [5] The definition of “refugee” in US law is essentially the same as that of the 1951 UN Convention.

In his book The Incarnation, Gordon Clark criticized the Council of Chalcedon for its failure to define the terms it used in the famous creed it produced. “Discard or define,” was Clark’s slogan.
John Robbins put the same thought this way, if you define your terms, you don’t know what you’re talking about.
So in the spirit of Gordon Clark and John Robbins, I’d like to take time to define the terms used in the title of this talk.
Antichrist
My definition of Antichrist is that which was accepted by nearly all Protestants before the 20th century. Antichrist is the office of the papacy. The original language of the Westminster Confession of Faith summed up this view quite nicely in Chapter 25.6. It reads, “There is no other head of the church but the Lord Jesus Christ: nor can the Pope of Rome, in any sense be head thereof: but is that Antichrist, that man of sin and son of perdition, that exalteth himself in the Church against Christ, and all that is called God.” But this language was altered in the 1903 revision of the Confession by the Presbyterian Church USA to remove the language identifying the pope as “Antichrist,” “man of sin,” and “son of perdition.”
Two of the best Presbyterian theologians of the 20th century did not offer much in the way of objection to the removal of this language from the Confession. Writing in the November 28, 1936 issue of the “Presbyterian Guardian,” J. Gresham Machen commented that the edition of the Confession adopted by the Presbyterian Church of America[1] was the same as the doctrinal standards that existed in 1902, “except that two brief statements – one declaring the Pope to be Antichrist and the other declaring it to be sinful to refuse an oath when the civil magistrate requires it, are omitted.”[2]
B.B. Warfield noted in his article “The Confession of Faith as Revised in 1903” that “The motive of the revisers seems to have been to avoid calling the Pope of Rome ‘that antichrist, that man of sin, and son of perdition, that exalteth himself in the church against Christ and all that is called God” – which does seem rather strong language. Why the revisers wished to avoid applying these terms to the Pope of Rome we can only conjecture. But their avoidance of it need not imply that they – some or all of them – felt prepared to deny that the Pope of Rome is the Antichrist of Scripture.”[3] As do many Bible-believing Presbyterians, I count myself an admirer of B.B. Warfield, but these comments from him are disappointing. The most likely reason that the revisers excised the language identifying the Pope of Rome as Antichrist, man of sin, and son of perdition is the very one Warfield denies was their motive, that they – some or all of them – were prepared to deny that the Pope of Rome was the Antichrist of the Scriptures. The history of the American Presbyterian church since 1903 substantiates this reasoning, as even highly educated Presbyterians from that day to the present have become increasingly willing to deny that the Pope of Rome is the Antichrist of the Scriptures, something that was once clearly understood even by the plowboy with a Bible.
But what the revisers did by striking the Confession’s language about the identity of Antichrist was something far worse than merely sowing confusion about who Antichrist is. By denying that the Pope of Rome is the Antichrist, the revisers of the Confession also denied the entire Protestant system of prophetic interpretation known as historicism, of which system the identity of Antichrist as the papacy is a key component.[4]
It seems to this Presbyterian in the Year of Our Lord 2023 that the removal of the Confession’s language on the identity of Antichrist, while it may have appeared minor to observers at the time, opened the floodgates for the false Jesuit eschatologies of Preterism and Futurism – both of which deny a present Antichrist, instead placing him far in the past or at a time still to come – to come pouring into Protestant church, thus blinding, as it were, even the elect to the work of Antichrist taking place right in front of their noses.
One of these works, I argue in this paper, is the flooding of America with illegal aliens, many of them Roman Catholics, for the purpose of subverting our Protestant Republic, capturing the nation for Rome, and incorporating it into Rome’s planned system of world government.

Last week saw Donald Trump booked in the Fulton Country, GA jail along with 18 other individuals who are charged with what amounts to exercising their right to question the 2020 election results in the State of Georgia.
Whatever you may think of Donald Trump or the 2020 election, the fact that a former president can be charged with racketeering for questioning the official narrative that the “election was the most secure in American history” ought to be cause for alarm. And it’s not just Donald Trump either. Eighteen other individuals have been indicted in this case, including lawyers who assisted Trump, most notably Rudy Giuliani, former Mayor of New York.
The Biden Regime, the Establishment, is sending the message to any future president or presidential candidate, don’t you dare even consider representing anyone but us. If you try to represent the people, you are history.
