persecutor of the free exrcise of Christianity for more than a millennia. It is estimated that more than
50 million Europeans were slain by the Roman Catholic Church through her inquisitions and various
th
pogroms from the year 606 A.D. up until the middle of the 19 century. An additional 15 million
were slain in South America, and 4 million elsewhere. John was shown a vision of what the church
would become under Rome’s auspices, an image he described in the following passage.

Revelation 17:3-6
And he carried me away in the Spirit into a wilderness; and I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast,
full of blasphemous names, having seven heads and ten horns. And the woman was clothed in purple
and scarlet, and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls, having in her hand a gold cup full
of abominations and of the unclean things of her immorality, and upon her forehead a name was
written, a mystery, "BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND OF THE
ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH." And I saw the woman drunk with the blood of the saints, and
with the blood of the witnesses of Yahshua. And when I saw her, I marveled greatly (was

It was a remarkable transformation that Satan wrought when he transformed the face of Christianity
from a collection of common people led by fishermen and other tradesmen (apostles and teachers
without costume or buildings), men whose only religious heritage came from the pages of the Old
Testament, morphing them into the abomination that was to become the Roman Catholic Church.

St. Peter’s Basilica at the Vatican

The focal point of Vatican City, the global headquarters of the Roman Catholic Church, is Saint
Peter’s Basilica, a location where millions of Catholic pilgrims gather annually. Standing outside the
Basilica at the center of Saint Peter’s Square, is an obelisk, an ancient symbol of Baal and Sun
worship. The obelisk was relocated from Heliopolis, the City of the Sun, in Egypt. The design of the
Basilica with its massive dome, was modeled after the famous Roman Pantheon.

The heavens have from ancient times been represented as a dome. Following is an image of the
famous Zodiac from the temple complex of Denderah, Egypt. It has been colored to match the
original appearance when it was constructed, possibly in the first century B.C..
