The Inversion of the Concept of Holiness

Hebrew — Married:
The priests and the Levites formed families; the union was a blessing and a duty.

Roman — Celibate:
Imposition of celibacy so that the institution inherits the goods without legitimate descendants.

Hebrew — Iconoclast:
Prohibition of images. Worship was in spirit, not in plaster nor in wood.

Roman — Idolater:
Creation of a pantheon of statues to replace the pagan gods, presented as ‘saints.’

Hebrew — Man of the people:
He lived among the people, worked, and knew the challenges of real life.

Roman — Ascetic / Isolated:
‘Mystical’ figure separated from the world, easier to idealize and commercialize.

Hebrew — Faithful to the Word:
He followed the teachings without imperial filters.

Roman — Faithful to Dogma:
Subject to a hierarchy that presents itself as intermediary of the ‘sacred.’

If it were impossible for the righteous to sin, what would be the point of removing stumbling stones?

This shows that the righteous who falls is not the stumbling stone; he is its victim.

Matthew 13:41–43 speaks of removing the stumbling stones so that the righteous may shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father.
Daniel 12:3 also announces the righteous who will shine like the stars.

But this has never meant bowing down before images of the sun nor before any creature to render worship.
The Roman Empire, which already practiced solar worship in the days of Christ, transmitted traditions that distorted the prophetic meaning of the ‘Sun of righteousness’ (Malachi 4:2).

The ‘Sun of righteousness’ is not an invitation to honor images, but a metaphor of an era in which justice will shine like the sun: when justice shines, the righteous shine; and when the righteous shine, the wicked are irritated and gnash their teeth.

The stumbling stone deliberately deceives the righteous, calling obedience to God what is in reality idolatry: kneeling before creatures for religious worship.
But when the righteous know the truth, they lift up their heads and stop kneeling; they rise and expose the false prophets, so that other righteous ones may not fall nor sin.
For when the righteous sins, he falls before the arrogant.
As Proverbs 25:26 says: ‘Like a muddied spring and a polluted fountain is the righteous who gives way before the wicked.’
But, as Daniel 12:10 says, the righteous will be purified and will be like springs of clear water, while the wicked will persist in their confusion, and this will irritate them.
How can one rise who has not first fallen?

Look, the horn causes the holy angels to fall:

Daniel 7:21
I was watching, and this horn made war against the saints and prevailed against them.

Look, it even caused the prince of the heavenly host to fall:

Daniel 8:10
It grew up to the host of heaven; it cast down some of the host and some of the stars to the ground, and trampled them.
11 It even exalted itself against the Prince of the host, and the place of His sanctuary was cast down.

Look then who rises: the one who fell first, Michael, the fallen angel.

Daniel 12:1
At that time Michael shall stand up, the great prince who stands watch over the sons of your people; and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that time. And at that time your people shall be delivered, everyone who is found written in the book.

Look at these images: you will see that the horn, the city heir of the Roman Empire, which by its deceptions made the righteous stumble, has put many things upside down:

Who is Michael, the angel who rises in favor of the righteous?
Does he represent the persecutor… or the enemy of the persecutor?

A
The one who dresses like a Roman persecutor.

B
The enemy of the Roman persecutor.

What message does the angel Michael bring?

A
Submit to the Roman Empire and to its Caesar, for there is no authority except from God; honor my image and direct your prayer to me, because clerical authority requires it (Romans 13:1–2).
Do not resist the evil caused by the empire I defend; turn the other cheek (Matthew 5:39).

B
When images are honored, the arrogant one who demands honor for them is honored. Unjust authority deserves rebellion. Protection depends only on God, not on His puppets. Who is like God?
For this reason I direct my prayer only to God: direct relationship, without intermediaries whose toll is to commit idolatry. God has commanded to resist evil (Deuteronomy 19:19–21), but the horn you serve has altered laws and prophecies, for it is evil itself.
I will put an end to your deception with the truth.
You will be resisted
and you will be defeated.
Michael preaches resisting evil with eye for eye;
I am here to defeat you through resistance.

Proverbs 29:27 The righteous detest the wicked, and the wicked detest the one who walks uprightly.

Proverbs 17:15 He who justifies the wicked and he who condemns the righteous, both of them are an abomination to Jehovah.

Comment on Pope Francis: When Pope Francis says that no one deserves the death penalty because human dignity always prevails, and when he says that God loves everyone, Francis says:

‘This murderer has dignity, he deserves life and God loves him.’

ROME — Pope Francis declared that the death penalty is inadmissible… …in all cases ‘because it is an attack on the inviolability and dignity of the person,’ the Vatican announced on August 2, thus reversing Roman Catholic teachings on this issue. August 2, 2018 – nytimes.com

2 Thessalonians 2:8 And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will slay with the breath of His mouth. Pope Francis declared that the death penalty is inadmissible in all cases, saying: ‘There is a growing awareness that the dignity of the person is not lost even after the commission of very serious crimes.’

Proverbs 28:4 Those who forsake the law praise the wicked, but those who keep the law contend with them.

Isaiah 11:4 He shall slay the wicked with the breath of His lips.

Analysis and Conclusion of the text:

If the religion of Jesus were linked to the Law and the Prophets, and Rome did not respect His message, it is logical to conclude that it did not respect the Law nor the Prophets. Consequently, the contradictions in the texts that Rome ended up calling the ‘Old Testament’ are not surprising. Here are some examples:

Genesis 4:15: Murderer protected from the death penalty.
Numbers 35:33: Murderer sentenced to death.
Ezekiel 33:18–20: The righteous can become unrighteous, and the unrighteous can become righteous.
Against Daniel 12:10: The righteous cannot become unrighteous, the unrighteous cannot become righteous.

Yet, if the unrighteous could truly become righteous, the original message of Jesus would not have been persecuted by anyone, but accepted by all.

The Rider on the White Horse Against the Beast and the Antichrist: Without Love for the Beast, He Is the Enemy

Psalm 110:1
Jehovah said to my Lord: “Sit at My right hand, until I make Your enemies Your footstool.”

Revelation 19:11
Then I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on it was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war.

Daniel 12:1
At that time Michael shall stand up, the great prince who stands watch over the sons of your people; and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation, even to that time. And at that time your people shall be delivered, everyone who is found written in the book.

Revelation 18:1
Then I heard another voice from heaven, saying: “Come out of her, My people, lest you share in her sins, and lest you receive of her plagues.”
