For the first time in his nearly 2 years in office, Joe Biden will visit America’s southwestern border today to lie to the American people once again about what he and his Regime are doing to destroy the nation that he supposedly represents through the policy of mass, welfare migration.
As America’s second Roman Catholic president, Joe Biden has wasted no time implementing the welfare immigration program of the Antichrist Roman Catholic Church-State, a program designed to weaken and subvert the United States and to strengthen the hand of the Vatican in the internal affairs of the nation. The goal of this program is to render the United States ungovernable and fold it into a regional, and finally a world government with the Pope – the man who claims to be the father of kings, governor of the world, and vicar of Christ – as the head.
While the lying legacy media portray America’s border crisis as if it, like Melchizedek, were without father or mother or genealogy, the parentage of America’s illegal alien migration disaster is very clearly known. It is a creation of the Democrats generally, of the Biden Regime more particularly, and of the Vatican ultimately.
But while the Vatican origins of the current immigration crisis are not hard to see, most Americans, even Reformed Christians who of all people should have the discernment to see the scam for what it is, fail to grasp what is being done to them and by whom it is being done.
The Antichrist Roman Church-State has been active on our southern border for years, decades really, promoting the destruction of America through mass Roman Catholic, welfare migration. But in the past few years, Rome has stepped up its game. Jesuit Pope Francis paid a visit to Juarez in January 2016, celebrating a mass that was simulcast in the Sun Bowl in El Paso. Unsurprisingly, Francis used this occasion to promote his favorite nation-breaking ploy, mass welfare migration.
The Wall Street Journal reporting on the Pope’s visit to Juarez noted, “While many are expected to cross the border to see the papal Mass at the nearby Juárez fairgrounds, some 600 ‘VIPs’ invited by the Roman Catholic Diocese of El Paso – migrants, labor advocates, nuns and immigration activists – will gather to watch the pope from a levee on the U.S. side.”
In another article on the same subject from February 9, 2016, The Wall Street Journal reported, “Pope Francis arrives in Mexico on Friday for a six-day visit that will end with a highly symbolic and potentially controversial act: the pontiff taking a stand on the fortified U.S. border to show solidarity with the migrants trying to cross it.” The Journal even went so far as to refer to migration as, “the expected theme of the pope’s Juárez visit.”
With this in mind, is it any big surprise that seven years later El Paso is the epicenter of Antichrist’s illegal alien assault on America?
Detail from the Tower of Babel by Pieter Bruegel, 1563.
And they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city, and a tower whose top is in the heavens; let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be scattered abroad over the face of the whole earth.”
Genesis 11:4
In Genesis chapter 11, we read of man’s first attempt to create an idolatrous, globalist empire. Rather than obeying God’s command to “fill the earth,” a command first given to Adm and Eve and then later repeated to Noah, who himself was a sort of second Adam, they decided to rebel by remaining in one place and making, “a name for themselves” by building, “a tower whose top is in the heavens.”
This first attempt ended badly for the empire builders as God frustrated their plans as he confused their language and, “scattered them abroad over the face of all the earth.”
But because of sin man continued to attempt to create empires after his own image and likeness. In the pages of Scripture, we come across the names of many empires, Babylon, Assyria, Greece, and Rome.
But great empires are not a thing of the distant past. The Ottoman Empire – the Ottoman Empire was the successor to the Byzantine Empire, but the Byzantines didn’t call themselves Byzantines, they called themselves Romans; if we accept this, the Roman Empire didn’t fall until 1453 when Constantinople was conquered by the Turks – fell in 1918, barely a century ago. The sun famously never set on the British Empire, which existed within living memory. Although no one calls it an empire, the American Empire of the post-WWII era has dominated the world we live in.
Justice For Immigrants webpage, accessed 1/2/2022. Note well, there’s no mention of justice for American citizens. Rome cares only about foreigners. And really, Rome doesn’t care about the illegal aliens either. The only thing Rome cares about is advancing its causes of socialism and world government by any means necessary. The migrants are pawns in Rome’s power game.
Exsul Familia Nazarathana by Pope Pius XII, 1952. Pope Pius XX, also known as “Hitler’s Pope” (see John Cornwell’s book by the same title). This Apostolic Constitution sets forth the migration principles Rome is using to destroy the West. The Babylonian Harlot has figured out a way, not only to destabilize and ultimately destroy the free, independent nations of the West, but also to make the citizens of these nations pay for their own destruction. Truly a Satanic work.
“Was Jesus An Illegal Immigrant?” Pulpit & Pen, 12/18/2013. This article quotes Russell Moore of the Southern Baptist Convention talking his usual immigration nonsense, aping the papal Antichrist by calling Jesus an “illegal immigrant” when he was nothing of the sort. Russell Moore, it would seem, has made a prosperous career for himself denouncing his putative fellow Christians to an ever-eager audience of progressives and various America haters. His message? “I’m an Evangelical, but not one of those icky sorts of Evangelicals who voted for Donald Trump or who questions the wisdom of admitting endless millions of welfare migrants into the country.”
“Pope Francis: ‘No Country Can Exempt Itself From Duty To Take In Migrants” by Thomas D. Williams, Ph.D, 12/22/2021. The “duty” for nations to admit welfare migrants of which Pope Francis speaks is found nowhere in Scripture. It is a figment of the Antichrist papal imagination. The words of Genesis 6:5 are applicable here, “And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.”
Detail from The Tower of Babel by Peter Brugel, 1563.
In the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth.
Genesis 1:1
In an article titled “Pope Francis Calls for Giving United Nations Organization ‘Real Teeth,’” the current occupant of the seat of Antichrist says that, “The twenty-first century is witnessing a weakening of the power of nation states, chiefly because the economic and financial sectors, being transnational, tend to prevail over the political.”
That economic and financial sectors have throughout history have operated across national borders, and that the Bible in no way prohibits international trade, these things the Pope does not want you to think about. These forces, the Pope tells us, in some undefined way “prevail over the political,” and this, we are to take on the Pope’s word, is a very bad thing that can be fixed only by ushering in an even bigger government, a world government run by the UN.
So what does the Pope mean by “economic and financial sectors” prevailing over the political? Given his authoritarian dislike of economic and political liberty, he likely means that, despite the best efforts of regulators to stamp out economic and political liberty, people, ordinary people, are still free to make voluntary economic decisions in their perceived best interests. Liberty of this sort is deeply disturbing to globalist tyrants of all sorts, whether we’re talking about religious globalists such as the Popes of Rome – all of them, Francis included, are Antichrists who hate, loathe and despise Christ and his people whom he freed spiritually, politically and economically – or secular tyrants of the sort who run the UN, the World Economic Forum or any number of other globalist busybody organizations.
There’s an old saying, if it doesn’t fit, get a bigger hammer. The drive for world government is all about elite globalists such as the Pope getting a bigger hammer to beat the nations and peoples of the world into their mold, imposing on them by force the choices and behaviors the elite want them to exhibit, but which if left to themselves the people would not choose. “There’s just too much liberty out there,” is ever the cry of the tyrant.
In times past, those who warned about a plot to impose world government on the nations of the earth were viewed as kooks. “That’s conspiracy theory!” people would cry.
But the push for world government, while it is a conspiracy in the proper sense of the term, is certainly no unsubstantiated rumor spread by fact challenged individuals. It’s an open secret, possibly one of the worst kept secrets ever. The Pope’s of Rome and other Vatican officials simply cannot stop themselves from openly longing for world government and constantly take the opportunity to tell everyone how wonderful their brave new world will be.
As Christians, we cannot endorse world government. But how can I say this? As Christians, we must always ground our ideas about politics and economics in the Scriptures. So where in the Bible does is the matter of world government and individual nations ever brought up? Is it brought up at all? In short, yes. The Bible has a stance on world government. God opposes it. Further, God endorses the idea of a system of nation states of the sort that came about as a result of the Treaty of Westphalia of 1648, which concluded the Thirty Years War.

In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
Genesis 1:1
“Resistance to tyranny is obedience to God.” This quote, or some variant to it, has been attributed to several prominent people. In searching for the origin of the quote, I found it credited to such notables as John Knox, William Tyndale, and Benjamin Franklin. Thomas Jefferson used “Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God” on his personal seal. Jefferson wanted to use this saying on the Seal of the United States
Whatever the origin of the quote, many Christians today are troubled by the notion that it is ever a Christian’s duty to resist tyranny. Citing Paul’s injunction in Romans 13 “Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities,” they take Paul’s command to be, if not an absolute, at least something very close to it.
The extent of the civil magistrate’s legitimate authority came to the surface in 2020 with the coming of the Covid 19 restrictions across much of the world. These restrictions not only affected schools, universities, and businesses, but also churches. Sincere Christians, when considering how to react to government restrictions, in particular government restrictions on church meetings, came to different conclusions. Some believed it was the duty of Christians to obey every command of the various civil authorities that restricted, or outright prohibited, church meetings. Others considered it a Christian duty to resist such edicts. Because of these different views, as a follow up to last week’s post on the divine origin of civil government, it seemed good to me to say something about the relationship of civil government to the church.
To take the suspense out of things, I’ll tell you my view of the matter up front. Christians are required to obey civil magistrates, but only in the Lord. The civil magistrate, while a legitimate minister of God, has limited authority. This was also John Calvin’s view. He wrote,
The characteristic of a true sovereign is, to acknowledge that, in the administration of his kingdom, he is a minister of God. He who does not make his reign subservient to the divine glory, acts the part not of a king, but a robber. He, moreover, deceives himself who anticipates long prosperity to any kingdom which is not ruled by the sceptre of God, that is, by his divine word (Institutes, Prefatory Address).
Later in the Institutes, Calvin wrote,
We are subject to the men who rule over us, but subject only in the Lord. If they command anything against Him let us not pay the least regard to it, nor be moved by all the dignity which they possess as magistrates – a dignity to which no injury is done when it is subordinated to the special and truly supreme power of God (Book IV, Chapter 20.32).
It is the view of this author that the civil authority has no jurisdiction to regulate how Christian churches conduct their worship services, and that all such regulation represents overreach on the part of the civil magistrate. This is not to say that Christian ministers and Christians themselves are not subject to the governing authorities. If Christians commit acts that are contrary to the law of God and the just civil laws of society, then they are justly punished by the civil magistrate. But the regulation or prohibition of singing hymns, capacity limits due to Covid, or even outright prohibition on gathering on the Lord’s Day? All such restrictions by the civil authorities are tyrannical and ought to be resisted by Christians everywhere.
