CHRIST’S MESSAGES CONTINUES
They have not stopped worshipping on the first day, the day that I made as My first working day for humanity, the very day that I the Lord started the creation of things on earth. For the pastors have made My churches take great pleasure in worshipping and serving this strange beast who has deliberately taken My first day and My Sabbath as his own resting days. He has willingly destroyed My days and made them his own mark of authority. His doctrines are completely different from My truth.
He has made numerous molten images: idols of creeping creatures and flying fowls of the air, of the hosts in the heavens which they have not seen, of things on earth and things under the earth which they have not seen, but have used their evil imaginations to create them, serve them, and adore them. They pay homage to them, place full faith and trust in them, bow to them, and ask them for help in all their difficulties, to hear and answer their prayers. They put their faith in the works of their own hands, kneel before them, and make their prayers, supplications, and requests to these dumb images. They worship these detestable things.
They make idols and images of the hosts of heaven which they have not seen and worship idols, praying to My creatures rather than to Me, the mighty Lord. They worship dead bodies, bow down to them, and pay homage to them, putting faith and trust in them to protect and provide for them. Almost the whole world is delighted to follow this evil beast, idolizing and worshipping him because he has made himself as God on earth. The world respects him as though he were equal to God and is happy to worship him and all these deaf and dumb idols that can never see or smell, the works of their own hands which the Lord commanded them not to do.
This evil beast seduces others into these abominations. He trains his followers to live in idolatry, to carry small idols on their bodies for protection, and sleep with images of dead bodies as protectors. He continues to commit acts that are absolutely against Me, the Lord. All sorts of wickedness have been done by him. This evil beast, intoxicated with unrighteousness and abominations, has lured countless people into believing his false doctrines, into sensual and worldly evil practices. He has shed the blood of My prophets and My saints and rejoiced in it. He delights in all his evil practices and does not stop.
He has deceived many into submission and spiritual blindness through his false doctrines. The inhabitants of the earth follow his idolatrous ways through his merchandise and evil trades. He has bewitched and enslaved the people within his influence, tricking them into believing false miracles, signs, and wonders, leading them into corruption, damnation, and the grave. He has promised peace through power he pretends to have, which comes from the devil.
The world worships this strange beast, creates images of him, and delights in following him and his lies. He is determined to destabilize My truth with his hatred for Me. His deceptions cause followers to kneel before detestable idols made with their own hands, decorated with gold, silver, and precious stones. They put their everlasting trust in these dumb, lifeless objects. He has long denounced Me, becoming My adversary. He has fallen away, forsaken Me, trampled on My truth, My commandments, and My laws. He has desecrated My temples and altars with these detestable objects and has blasphemed My name.
This evil beast follows his own doctrines that oppose My truth. He has led many astray and continues to do so without care for their souls. His teachings are full of lies, deception, and doctrines that are completely against Me. Many have whored after his false signs, visions, and miracles. He has made himself God on earth and has used sorcery, manipulation, and deception to persuade people to idolize him.
He encourages worship of the hosts of heaven and convinces people to put their trust in idols. These images are made their protectors, and people pay homage to them. He has taken My truth away from his followers and added false teachings to deceive the world. He made the first day of the week his mark of authority, dedicating it to himself in full violation of My Sabbath and holy days. He convinced his followers to believe in him as God and made this day special for himself and all people, great and small, rich and poor, bond and free, to worship and honor him.
The world has embraced these false doctrines and evil practices. They respect and admire his power, which comes from the devil. The devil ensures that when one beast dies, another takes its place to continue the evil.
