Does anyone know how credible this “LifeSite News” is?
I’m not familiar with it and don’t currently use it as one of my intel sources.
Until this report is confirmed by another source which I have come to consider reliable I’m going to have to take it with a bit of salt.
If it is credible, however, then a lot of Protestant’s suspicions of the RCC’s role in end time prophecy will proceed a long way towards confirmation.
Not every Eschatologists accepts the premise that the Church (and perhaps not just the Roman Church at this point, but all apostate churches) is represented by the prophetic “Mystery Babylon” in the end times, but if it is, then adherants would do well to seriously consider Yeshua HaMoshiach’s (The Lord’s real Hebrew Name) admonition as recorded by St. Yochannan (John) in the Revelation:
Revelation 18:4 ~ “And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.”

There is a serious persecution about to be unleashed against what’s left of the European and American Church, much as it is being poured out upon the Churches in the Middle East and parts of Africa at the hands of the bloodthirsty ISIL Muslim barbarians.
Many Christians wonder why God seems to have lifted His sacred hedge of protection and mercy from around these suffering and often slaughtered Saints.
Could this lethal persecution possibly have something to do with one of those “plagues” the risen Yeshua was mentioning in Revelation?
How have these Middle Eastern Christians been treating Jews lately, I wonder?
Are they living and ministering Genesis 12:3 do you suppose, or have they been doing what most of the “Christian” Church has been doing for the better part of 2000 years; persecuting Jews and pouring contempt on Israel as well as competing denominations?
Some reports are claiming that participation in “organized religion” and the denominational Churches is declining all over Christendom, with those who tenaciously cling to the Faith alternatively fellowshipping in almost underground home and small group loosely organized gatherings outside of the approved ecclesiastical environment.
Could this be a sign of the times - part of the great “falling away” that the Apostle St. Shaul (Paul) predicted?
2 Thessalonians 2:3 ~ “Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away (Gk. “Apostacia)” first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;...”
Could such a “falling away” represent an abandonment of the infiltrated and compromised “Babylon” of the perverted Church establishment by a faithful remnant under the conviction of Ruach HaKodesh (the Holy Spirit)?
If indeed what we are seeing is the beginning of a fulfillment of the Revelation, then it would strongly suggest that the “End Times” are indeed upon us and time for repentance and reconcilliation is short.
Mara Natha!
