Page 91 - Attractive Deception - The False Hope of the Hebrew Roots Movement

In the image directly above, Pope Benedict XVI is removing the Saturno, revealing the Solideo he was
wearing beneath it. The Solideo is always worn, no matter what headwear the Pope wears above it. In
this instance, Pope Benedict removed the Saturno as he arrived at Saint Peter’s Square to lead his weekly
general audience. Thus Satan switches hats to appear as a messenger of light.

II Corinthians 11:13-15
For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ. And no
wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. Therefore it is not surprising if his servants
also disguise themselves as servants of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their deeds.

Perhaps illustrative of our point of the Saturno and Solideo representing a dark and light side of
Satan/Lucifer, Pope Benedict XVI was often criticized for a lack of affability. He was viewed as cold,
harsh, legalistic, and he was blamed for a decline in the popularity of Roman Catholicism. In contrast,
Pope Francis is viewed as a benefactor of the people. He is shown constantly to be a servant to humanity,
full of compassion, and one who places people above policy. To my knowledge, he has never worn the
Saturno in public as Pope Benedict did.

Throughout this writing I have mentioned that many who are attracted to the Hebrew Roots Movement
landed in this camp after becoming repulsed by the corruption of modern mainline Christianity. They
were seeking a return to a more authentic practice of the Christian faith. The Hebrew Roots teachers
present their practice and doctrines as being a return to the faith of Christ and His apostles. In many
instances, however, what is sold as a return to the Hebraic Roots of the Old Testament has become
horribly muddled with the rites and symbols of apostate Judaism. It is vital that Christians today examine
all rites, symbols, holidays, and doctrines carefully, for Satan is very active in pouring forth a flood of
deception to sweep away the masses to destruction.

Do not underestimate the success Satan has had in introducing much that is profane and unholy into the
practice of Christianity. He has introduced the Saturnalia to the church as Christmas, and to the Jews as
Hanukkah. He has replaced Passover with Easter, and the Passover Lamb with the Easter ham. He has
induced churches to place obelisks atop their buildings without Christians ever questioning why. He has
led the Jews to render the holy Scriptures null and void as they have placed a greater veneration on the
words of the rabbis recorded in the Mishna and the Talmud than they do upon the writings of prophets
and apostles who were moved by the Spirit of God. Is it too difficult to accept that the little round caps
worn by Popish followers and Jews alike, both groups having a long history of suppressing the truth and
embracing idolatry, are just one more Luciferian symbol Satan has introduced to those who were
receptive to his influence?

Do not be deceived!
