The Rise of the False Church Begins on September 23-25, 2015
The Rise of the False Church Begins on September 23-25, 2015
Ancient
prophecies are being fulfilled this month and every believer needs
to understand what is happening because it will soon have a big impact
on our lives.The Apostle John saw a second beast rising up out of the earth with two horns like a lamb, yet he spoke like a dragon. This beast is also called the false prophet (Revelation 20:10) because he disguises himself as a man of God, but in reality he has nothing to do with God. He disguises himself as a lamb, but in reality he is a beast, a ruthless killer, an executioner of everyone who resists him.
One of the duties of the second beast is to lead a one-world religion, a false church, which is made in his image. Like him, it operates in the name of God while having nothing to do with God. In reality it will be a worldwide law enforcement agency whose duties include mandated worship of an image of the first beast and mandated participation in the beast financial system.
Then I saw another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb and he spoke as a dragon. He exercises all the authority of the first beast in his presence. And he makes the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast, whose fatal wound was healed. He performs great signs, so that he even makes fire come down out of heaven to the earth in the presence of men. And he deceives those who dwell on the earth because of the signs which it was given him to perform in the presence of the beast, telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the beast who had the wound of the sword and has come to life. And it was given to him to give breath to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast would even speak and cause as many as do not worship the image of the beast to be killed. And he causes all, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free men and the slaves, to be given a mark on their right hand or on their forehead, and he provides that no one will be able to buy or to sell, except the one who has the mark, either the name of the beast or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for the number is that of a man; and his number is six hundred and sixty. (Revelation 13:11-18).Neville Johnson Prophecy:
Speaking in Session 1 of the 2015 Lancaster Prophetic Conference on August 12 2015, Neville Johnson said, “Last year I had an encounter with the Lord. It was a very powerful encounter. He said to me, ‘I want you to watch for something. When the present Pope will address the United Nations and Congress, it will be the beginning of the rise of the false church.’”
The complete 1:49-minute video of his message is shown at the bottom of this post. He starts discussing the false church at about the 1:14:30 mark.
If Neville Johnson heard correctly, the Pope’s meetings this month with the U.S. Congress and the United Nations will launch the formation of the global organization controlled by the second beast.
Transformation of the Pope:
Since Pope Francis is taking the lead role in the formation of this new organization, that makes him the leading candidate to be the second beast. At this point there are no other candidates on the horizon. He is not only the front-runner, he is the only runner. Time will tell whether he finishes what he is now starting or whether he passes the baton to someone else.
We are watching an amazing transformation happening before our eyes. The Pope is being transformed into either the second beast or at the very least the predecessor to the second beast. In either case, he is a monster, a deceiver, and an instrument of Satan because the organization he is now forming will be used to destroy many of God’s people and will require the whole world to worship the image of the first beast. We are witnessing the beginning of a transformation that will not stop until the whole world enters into the deep darkness described in the book of Revelation.
The Pope’s power is now being expanded far beyond any previous Pope, which is necessary to fulfill the role of the second beast in the new one-world government and the one-world economic system. He will be second only to the first beast. As he removes his mask and makes the transition from lamb to beast, he will begin to encounter resistance and therefore must have the power to mandate what he wants and to eliminate all opposition.
Why else would he need to make a speech to the U.S. Congress? No other Pope in history has ever done this before. I believe it is because his transformation begins this month.
As this process continues, the world will begin to see his true nature revealed, but by then it will be too late to stop him. He will also be given great supernatural power to perform signs, such as calling down fire from heaven in the presence of the first beast and giving breath to the image of the beast so that it will be able to speak. He will use these signs to deceive the world into believing he is from God and that the first beast actually is God.
His supernatural abilities are revealed in Revelation 13:13, which is an amazing coincidence since Pope Francis was elected to the papacy on 3/13/13. For more disturbing facts about Pope Francis, see my previous post: Seven More Disturbing Facts about Pope Francis.
Transformation of the Catholic Church:
The above statements about Pope Francis are offensive to many Catholics, but very soon that will be the least of their problems. Big changes are coming to the Catholic Church as they are being transformed into the one-world religion described in Revelation 13. The transformation started the day Pope Francis entered the papal office. For more details on that, see my previous post: Pope Francis Taking Unprecedented Actions to Unite World Religions. The transformation will continue until the scope of the Catholic Church includes every religion in the world.
We can expect to see many Catholics horrified by these changes, but the majority of them and the majority of the world will embrace this new one-world religion mistakenly believing it is the best way to achieve world peace. With that noble objective, the one-world religion will embrace all of the world’s religions, except for the trouble-makers, which includes all devout Jews and Christians. They will not be able to participate because doing so would require them to violate their faith in the one true God.
The transformations of the Pope and the Catholic Church require us to shift our thinking about them. Whatever they were in the past is not what they are going to be from now on. Although they have persecuted the true church throughout history, their past actions will pale in comparison to what they are going to do in the near future. This new one-world religion will become the number one persecutor of the true church.
Hollywood movies have given so much attention to the first beast, the antichrist, that just about everyone has heard of him. Meanwhile, the second beast has received far less attention, allowing him to arrive almost undetected, under the radar. However, the greatest danger to the church will not come from the first beast, but from the second beast because his global organization will be the enforcement agency that requires everyone to worship the image of the first beast and to take his mark.
In the words of the prophet Daniel, this end-time kingdom will be exceedingly dreadful and terrible, which means it will strike fear into the hearts of people to bring them under their control. This kingdom will devour the whole earth, tread it down, and crush it (Daniel 7:19-23).
Daniel described it as being different from every previous kingdom. It will be the first kingdom to ever succeed in ruling over the whole world (Revelation 13:3-4). For the first time in history the world will be united under one religion, one government, and one economic system. The second beast will play a key role in making all of that possible.
Papal Meeting Schedule:
As if all of this was not already creepy enough, it gets even creepier.
The day before Pope Francis speaks to Congress he is meeting with President Obama at the White House in what appears to be a very timely meeting of the two beasts. Their meeting lands precisely on Yom Kippur, the annual Jewish day of atonement, on September 23. The significance of this date cannot be over-emphasized, as shown here:
- Dr. Patricia Green saw President Obama making a pact with the devil on September 23, 2015. See my previous post: Obama Makes Pact with the Devil on September 23 2015.
- Paul Keith Davis saw major changes coming by September 23 2015. See my previous post: Paul Keith Davis: Something Major is Going to Happen by the Day of Atonement 2015.
- Sister Barbara from YouTube has been proclaiming prophetic warnings for the past several years. She concludes each of her videos with this statement: “I am proclaiming the acceptable year of the Lord until September 23, 2015, Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement.” See my previous post: Sister Barbara: The Clock Strikes Twelve.
- Neville Johnson shared a word from the Lord telling him after the last blood moon (September 28 2015) there is no more time. The judgment of God will not be delayed after that.
- Many movies and television shows have been connecting September 22 and 23 with catastrophes for many years. Renee Moses documented some of these in her YouTube videos.
- Last year the French Foreign Minister announced the world was 500 days from the start of climate chaos. Amazingly, the 500-day period ends on September 23 2015. Why would he make such a prediction?
- Earlier today, Marten Valk posted the following comment on this site: “Last Tuesday August 25 the Lord spoke to my wife: ‘This is the beginning of the end.’ To me the Lord told: ‘The end has been started.’ The same message to both of us.”
The next day, September 24, Pope Francis addresses a joint session of the United States Congress promoting an agenda that ventures far beyond the role of spiritual leader and meddling in issues that formerly belonged only to leaders of government and the economy. He is expected to promote the following positions in his meetings with the President and with Congress:
- Support for illegal immigration into the United States
- Support for wealth re-distribution within the United States
- Support for global climate change legislation
- Opposition to religious extremism and violence
- Support for inclusiveness in economic opportunities
Following his meetings with Congress and the President, Pope Francis will address the United Nations on September 25. While he is at the UN, he will also meet with the UN Secretary General.
As if all of this wasn’t weird enough already, his speech to the UN comes three days before the last of the four blood moons on September 28.
The True Church:
In 1973 David Wilkerson received a vision of two end-time super churches arising. I believe we are now seeing the beginning of the fulfillment of his vision. I shared his vision in my previous post, David Wilkerson: Two End-Time Super Churches Will Arise.
The good news is the rise of the false church is not the end of the story because there is also the rise of the true church at the same time.
Despite the dreadful tactics of the second beast, not everyone will submit. There will be many believers living during the rise of this beast system, including the 42-month reign of the antichrist. They will live by supernatural provision and by their own network of shared resources, off the grid. They will not only survive, but thrive as they bring in the greatest harvest of souls in history.
With over 1.25 billion members, the Roman Catholic Church will be one of the largest harvest fields. We can expect to see many Catholics become so disillusioned by the transformation of their Pope and their church they will flee from them to seek the Lord. Many of them will enter into the kingdom of God.
The rise of the false church will not be able to stop the true church, which will rise up in greater power and glory and strength than ever before. The growth of the true church will be much to the dismay of the false church as everyone who enters into the kingdom of God becomes an immediate problem for the false church.
The contrast between the two churches will continue to grow stronger as we get closer to the end. It will be the worst of times and the best of times. It will be the darkest of times and the lightest of times. Either way, the time is here.

Did Isaac Newton Predict Major Turn In Bible Prophecy This September?
by Leo Hohmann
As world events appear to be spinning out of control, there is something else spinning at record-breaking speed at a laboratory in Switzerland that has biblical prophecy watchers taking note.
CERN, also called the European Organization for Nuclear Research, at its complex near Geneva, restarted its Large Hadron Collider in June for the first time in 27 months and is scheduled to perform a controversial experiment in September, around the same time of the end of the biblical Shemitah on Sept. 13 and the start of Yom Kippur on Sept. 23.
CERN was founded in 1954 and has played a role in plenty of groundbreaking experiments, including the early research that led to the creation of the Internet. CERN scientists have said their latest work involves trying to open up a black hole, or “hidden extra dimensions,” which some see as a potential portal to the underworld.
“Out of this door might come something, or we might send something through it,” said Sergio Bertolucci, the director for Research and Scientific Computing at CERN, at a press briefing in November 2009.
The date Sept. 23 has become ubiquitous among the writings of many prophecy watchers. They don’t know what, if anything, will happen on that date but they question why it keeps popping up everywhere: in movies and concerts, on the pope’s appointment calendar, in the statements of politicians and the calculations of a famous mathematician from the 18th century.
Sir Isaac Newton, the English scientist and devout Christian, had a burning desire to study end-times prophecies of Christ’s return. He had a particular interest in Daniel’s prophecies, and he put together calculations that point to Sept. 23, 2015, as a key date.
Mark Biltz, author of “Blood Moons: Decoding the Imminent Heavenly Signs,” said he’s been aware of Newton’s formula, based on Daniel 9:25, since 2008 and believes it has merit worth studying.
You take 49 prophetic years or 17,640 days from the time when the Jewish people are restored to Jerusalem, which occurred on June 7, 1967, and you arrive at Sept. 23, 2015.
“The Isaac Newton days going from 1967 to Yom Kippur 2015 which leads us into 2016 came from my original teachings back in 2008 that everyone is talking about,” Biltz said. “This lines up with the end of the biblical Shemitah and possible proclaiming of the year of Jubilee.”
Factor in the strange embedding of “Sept. 23, 2015,” into dozens of Hollywood movies and music videos dating back to the 1980s, and you have the recipe for a fast-growing Internet conspiracy theory with questions frequently asked about possible Illuminati influence.
Here comes the pope, but will ‘chaos’ follow?
Then you have the scheduled arrival of Pope Francis at the White House on Sept. 23 and a first-ever address to a joint session of Congress the next day. Francis is the 266th pope who will be meeting with President Obama on the 266th day of the year, leading one Internet preacher to wonder if “something is being birthed” on that day, since 266 days is the typical human gestation period from conception to birth.
Back on May 21, 2014, French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius issued a cryptic statement while standing beside U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry in Washington. He said, “We have 500 days to avoid climate chaos.” Going 500 days out from May 21, 2014, brings you to Sept. 23, 2015.
The Jade Helm military exercises taking place through mid-September also have given rise to conspiracy theories. Is the government preparing for some major future event that will bring chaos to America?
All of this activity will be topped off by more signs in the heavens, with the fourth and last in a rare tetrad of “blood moons” set to occur Sept. 28 on the biblical Feast of Tabernacles. The Shemitah year comes to a climax on the Hebrew calendar date of Elul 29, which is Sept. 13 on the Gregorian calendar.
Counting off ‘sevens’ and the road to war
Jonathan Cahn, author of “The Mystery of the Shemitah,” addresses Isaac Newton’s calculations in the last chapter of his best-selling book.
He calls it the “mystery of the Seventh Shemitah” or the “Super Shemitah.”
“Every seven years was the Shemitah or Sabbath year. Every seventh Shemitah ushered in a super Shemitah we call the Jubilee. The hallmark of the Jubilee was restoration,” Cahn told WND.
During the Jubilee, God commanded every Israelite to return to their ancestral home. If you had lost your father’s land, in the year of Jubilee it would be restored.
“End-time prophecy is based on the return of the Jewish people to the land of Israel, their restoration to their long lost ancestral home – that’s a prophetic Jubilee,” Cahn said. “So could this ancient mystery actually reveal when end-time events are to happen?”
Cahn thinks so.
While records for the Jubilee don’t exist, it is known that the Jubilee year must follow the year of the Shemitah. Cahn notes that 1917-18 was a Shemitah year.
“It was in that time that the Ottoman Empire collapsed in the Middle East, and the land of Israel fell into the hands of the British Empire,” Cahn said. “The Empire issued the Balfour Declaration which declared that the land of Israel would be a Jewish homeland. For the first time in 2,000 years the land of Israel was given back to the Jewish people. They were restored. Their ancestral land was given back to them – a prophetic end-time Jubilee – and it actually took place in the exact time parameters ordained by the mystery of the Shemitah.”
Going forward in time from the restoration of the land in 1917 to the next Seventh Shemitah brings you to the Shemitah of 1965-66. Thus the year after the Seventh Shemitah, the Jubilee, would be September 1966 to September 1967.
That was a big year on the prophetic calendar as it brought the Six Day War.
“On June 7, 1967, Israeli soldiers enter the gates of Jerusalem and the Holy City is restored to the Jewish people – they return to their ancestral possession. And it happens again in the year following the Shemitah and seven Shemitahs after the restoration of the land.”
Counting seven Shemitahs from 1967 leads to the Shemitah of 2015. The period of the Jubilee would thus begin in September 2015 and run through September 2016.
“Does anything have to happen during this time? No,” Cahn said. “The pattern could stop after the restoration of Jerusalem. But if it did continue, what might we expect? In each of the last two cycles, it has meant a critical war, a war in the Middle East, a war in the land of Israel, and a war that results in a prophetic end-time restoration.”
Cahn says he also finds it fascinating that Isaac Newton’s interpretation of Daniel 9 would end up having us count 7 x 7 years from June 7, 1967, into the future.
“June 7, 1967, represented the last prophetic restoration and Jubilee. Seven times seven is the equation used to bring one to the next Jubilee,” he said.
Counting prophetic years of 360 days, it brings you to Sept. 23, 2015, which is Yom Kippur, the day when the Jubilee begins.
“So Newton’s ‘riddle’ brings us from one Jubilee to the next – and not just to the year but to the exact day, to a once in 50 years day, that could usher in the next prophetic Jubilee,” Cahn said.
‘No man knows the day or the hour’
Carl Gallups, author of “Final Warning: Understanding the Trumpet Days of Revelation,” has also studied the claims of Sir Isaac Newton and the various modern interpretations of his end-time prophecies.
Gallups said it’s crucial to remember that Jesus gave a stern warning that “no man knows the day or the hour” concerning His return.
“I have taken that admonishment seriously for the entire 30-plus years of my ministry. I do not ‘set dates,’ nor have I ever claimed to have infallible insight into eschatological matters,” he said.
But just as important, he says, is another admonishment given by Jesus concerning prophetic calculations.
“He clearly chastised the religious elite of His day for not knowing, at least, the signs of the prophetic ‘times’ in which they were living,” Gallups said. “Because of their shortcoming in this matter, they actually missed the foretold coming of Messiah. Accordingly, I believe it is supremely important that God’s people keep a sober eye upon contextual prophetic interpretations and the current world events that may well correspond to them.”
Like Cahn and others, Gallups sees more than just coincidence in the array of convergences leading up to the current Shemitah year and next year’s possible Jubilee.
This junction, in the mind of many Bible scholars, kicked off with the return of Israel and the subsequent recapturing of Jerusalem.
“These events were amazingly foretold by Newton as well, some 300 years before they happened,” Gallups said. “His predictions included statements about a ‘friendly kingdom’ that would arise in those days that would help these things to occur.”
Many, of course, see the United States, which did not emerge until after Newton’s death, as Newton’s “friendly kingdom.”
It has now been 67 years since Israel re-emerged on the world scene, and only 48 years since the recapturing of Jerusalem.
“We are certainly living in a very ‘young,’ but powerful age of prophetic convergence,” Gallups said. “Yet, since those two 2,500-year-old biblical predictions have come to pass, even more last days’ prophecies have continued to come like a flood.”
Among those predictions Gallups sees are the rise of Islam, the current boiling-point turmoil in the Middle East, terrorism and threats of terrorism sweeping the planet, fears of multiple nuclear holocausts, the growing rejection of Israel by the nations – which increasingly seems to include the United States, “and a Sodom and Gomorrah spirit spreading through the nations – now ardently proliferated by the largest ‘Christian’ nation the world has ever known.”
“Add to these things the fact that we now have an important Shemitah cycle and Super Shemitah cycle approaching this September, as well as the variously calculated predictions of Sir Isaac Newton that also seem to point to September of 2015 as an ominous ‘beginning’ to even more unfolding of last days’ prophetic occurances,” he said.
Gallups points to Cahn’s research as bringing many of these convergences to the public spotlight, as well as that of Joel Richardson, who wrote years ago of what is now actually happening in the Middle East, and especially the dramatic rise and threat of ISIS. In the midst of all this, Pastor Mark Blitz has shared with the world his original discoveries concerning the, perhaps prophetic, convergence of the blood moon phenomenon – also reaching a peak with the ending of this year and the beginning of 2016.
“These dramatically aligning factors alone, in my estimation, point to the soberness with which we must approach our mission of Kingdom work in the days in which we currently live,” Gallups said. “We must be mindful of the ‘signs of the times’ in which we are living.
Many will scoff at the claims of the unfolding of end-times prophecy as the Day of the Lord approaches. “But even their last days ridiculing was specifically predicted over 2,000 years ago,” Gallups notes. Most, who malign the word of God in such a manner, do not even realize that they (through their mocking spirit and words) are specifically mentioned in the very scriptures they malign! If there ever was a time to be right with our Creator through a biblically born-again relationship with Jesus Christ – it is now.”
Prophecy should not bring fear to Christians
Joel Richardson, a Bible teacher, documentary filmmaker and author of the New York Times-bestseller “The Islamic Antichrist,” along with “Mideast Beast” and “When A Jew Rules the World,” has his own unique perspective on the countdown to the Day of the Lord.
He takes a more cautious view.
“There are certainly some interesting convergences of seemingly significant dates, events and signs. Many are pointing to the completion of this seven-year cycle, known as the Shemitah, as it coincides with the completion of the final four of the lunar eclipses, which coincided with four biblical appointed holidays,” Richardson said. “But despite these convergences, I think we need to express caution. Even if we agree that this is pointing to something, what might it be? This is what no one can answer. And the danger is inspiring people to fear, to panic, to anxiety. This would certainly be a wrong application. If it inspires people to repent of sins in their lives, and to get right with God, then wonderful. But I am concerned with the level of fear that it is inspiring in a lot of people, including many Christians. But the Lord has not given us a spirit of fear.”
Richardson said he believes Cahn’s suggestion that America could be looking at the next phase of its divine chastisement is the most likely outcome of the Shemitah.
“After all, it was seven years to the day from September 11 that the great economic collapse of 2008 occurred. And now we are about to hit the next seven-year point,” he said. “So perhaps this is the next installment of God’s trumpet blast to this nation calling on us to repent. Perhaps.”
But he throws cold water on the theory that the Shemitah or even the Super Shemitah of 2016 could ring in the period the Bible calls the Great Tribulation.
“There are simply some things that must take place first. I fear that many who are declaring that we are there will do damage to the proclamation of Jesus’ return in the days ahead,” he said. “Peter the apostle said that in the last days, many scoffers would come, mocking the notion that Jesus’ return is close. Mockers will mock. But we as responsible Christians should not give legitimacy to the mockers by jumping the gun and wrongly declaring that ‘this is that,’ that we have entered the final seven-year period. If we do so, we will only be repeating the errors of the 1980s and the infamous book ’88 Reasons Why the Rapture will take place in 1988.’ The result is decades of cynicism and a rejection of any discussion of the return of Jesus. Yet His return is our hope!”
Before the final seven years can begin, the Antichrist must first arise, beginning as a leader of small significance, and growing in power until he uproots three other leaders, Richardson says. These things are detailed in Daniel Chapters 7, 8 and 11. After he does arise, and grows to the point of establishing a measure of political capital, he will enter into a covenant, or treaty of some kind with the leaders of Israel, Richardson believes, citing Daniel 9:27 as well as Isaiah 28:14-18; 10:20.
“Neither of these two critical signs – the rise of the Antichrist, or the covenant ‘with death’ can be said to be fulfilled or within months of being fulfilled. They could be just a few years off, but not months,” he said. “Despite all of the abiding sense of fear and anxiety, despite the words of many ‘prophets,’ if the signs on the ground do not line up with the words of the biblical prophets, then all of this expectation means little. I firmly believe that the final seven years before Jesus’ return is drawing close, but we are not there yet.”
All of this activity will be topped off by more signs in the heavens, with the fourth and last in a rare tetrad of “blood moons” set to occur Sept. 28 on the biblical Feast of Tabernacles. The Shemitah year comes to a climax on the Hebrew calendar date of Elul 29, which is Sept. 13 on the Gregorian calendar.It seems possible to me that there may be a connection between the tetrad and Leviticus 26:14-35 were we see the Lord’s judgement against Israel repeated 4 times…
“`But if you will not listen to me and carry out all these commands, and if you reject my decrees and abhor my laws and fail to carry out all my commands and so violate my covenant, then I will do this to you: … “`If after all this you will not listen to me, I will punish you for your sins seven times over. …”`If you remain hostile toward me and refuse to listen to me, I will multiply your afflictions seven times over, as your sins deserve…”`If in spite of these things you do not accept my correction but continue to be hostile toward me, I myself will be hostile toward you and will afflict you for your sins seven times over… “`If in spite of this you still do not listen to me but continue to be hostile toward me, then in my anger I will be hostile toward you, and I myself will punish you for your sins seven times over. …Then the land will enjoy its Sabbath years all the time that it lies desolate and you are in the country of your enemies; then the land will rest and enjoy its Sabbaths. All the time that it lies desolate, the land will have the rest it did not have during the Sabbaths you lived in it.”
But why does the author of this article defer to Joel Richardson for expert advice? Richardson had to revise history in order to make it fit his Islamic Antichrist ideas. And his belief that a future Antichrist must uproot three other leaders is neither scripturally nor historically correct.
