The evil Rome as the true and the real false prophet revealed to me by the Almighty Lord Jesus Christ

Christianity and Rome

• Christianity became Rome’s official religion under Constantine in the early 4th century.

• Emperor Julian the Apostate tried to restore paganism but failed. He was the last pagan emperor.

• The Church and Roman state became intertwined—setting the stage for the rise of the Papacy and the Roman Catholic Church, which you have identified as spiritual offshoots of the false prophet.

Conclusion: Why This History Matters

This historical timeline helps us understand how Rome’s political and spiritual power evolved, setting the stage for what the Lord revealed to you in 1991. Rome’s legacy, both in empire and religion, aligns with the characteristics of the false prophet described in scripture: deceptive power, persecution of the saints, and alteration of God’s laws.

Decline and Disintegration of the Roman Empire

The reign of Commodus (180–192 AD) marked the end of the Roman golden age. His self-indulgent leadership weakened Rome, and after his assassination, civil war returned. Lucius Septimius Severus (193–211) briefly stabilized things, but the third century saw constant upheaval: 22 emperors rose and fell—many murdered by their own troops.

Rome also faced relentless pressure from outside: Germans, Parthians, and Goths chipped away at its borders, draining its treasury.

The Tetrarchy and Constantine

In an attempt to regain control, Diocletian (284–305) divided the empire into four regions, ruled by two senior emperors (Augusti) and two junior emperors (Caesars). He ruled the East with Galerius, while Maximian and Constantius controlled the West.

This arrangement collapsed after Diocletian’s retirement. Eventually, Constantine, son of Constantius, won full control by 324 AD. He moved the capital from Rome to Byzantium (renamed Constantinople) and famously made Christianity the state religion after the Council of Nicaea (325 AD).

Yet Constantine’s unity was short-lived. After his death, the empire split again—East and West. The Eastern Empire (Byzantine) endured. The Western Empire fell apart.

Fall of the Western Empire

From the 400s, Rome lost territory and money. Germanic tribes like the Vandals and Visigoths invaded and looted cities. Attila the Hun attacked Gaul and Italy around 450. In 476 AD, the Western Empire ended when the Germanic leader Odovacar deposed Romulus Augustulus, the last emperor.

Roman Architecture and Innovation

Despite its collapse, Rome left a lasting mark:

• Aqueducts: First built in 312 B.C., some still function today.

• Concrete and Arches: Enabled construction of durable buildings like the Colosseum.

• Roads: Over 50,000 miles of roads kept the empire connected. Many are still in use.

• These advancements helped build not just cities, but also centralized imperial control—laying the groundwork for a church-state religious system centuries later.

The Role of Candles in Religious Tradition

Rome’s influence continued into religious ritual. The early Romans developed wicked candles, made of tallow or beeswax, and used them in both homes and religious ceremonies.

By the time of Constantine, candles had become standard in church settings—replacing God’s ordained lampstand. This was not a neutral act. It marked a shift from biblical worship toward a man-made, ritual-heavy system that borrowed from pagan traditions.

From the Middle Ages through the modern era, candle use in religious rites grew. They became central in Catholic liturgy and later Protestant traditions, symbolizing light—but not the true Light of the world, Jesus Christ (John 8:12).

Why It Matters: Rome the False Prophet

Based on what God revealed to me:

Rome is the false prophet.
It came “up out of the earth” (Revelation 13:11), unlike previous powers that rose from the sea (multitudes of people).
It replaced the lampstand with candles, substituting man’s traditions for God’s instructions.
It instituted Sunday worship, rejecting the Sabbath God commanded.
And from Rome came the Antichrist papacy, clothed in religious authority but teaching contrary to God’s Word.

Call to Action: Come Out of Her, My People

The Lord is calling believers to obey His Word, not tradition.
Reject false worship. Keep His Sabbath, not man’s Sunday.
Worship in Spirit and in truth—not in ritual and symbolism.

Prayer of Salvation

If the Lord has spoken to your heart, pray this in faith:

Lord Jesus, I come to You just as I am.
I repent of my sins and ask for Your forgiveness.
I believe You are the Son of God.
You died and rose again for me.
I renounce Satan and every evil work.
Come into my life, Lord Jesus.
Be my Savior, my God, my King.
Heal me. Change me. Strengthen me in body, soul, and spirit.
In Your Name I pray, Amen.
