THE POPE, THE STATUE, & THE BOLT OF LIGHTNING

The Elijah Call
Shalom, to you my Friend and Co-Minister in the Great Commission...
Last month, My friend wrote to me about one of the most important developments in world culture - and apostasy - the pope's directive that the Catholic Church is now to bless those actively involved in homosexuality - what Catholic doctrine itself had deemed "grave depravity." Because this bears colossal ramifications for Western civilization - and because something else happened - it warrants our taking note.
It happened in Argentina, the pope's homeland. It happened in the province of Buenos Aires, the pope's home city. There is in that land a statue of Peter. Keep in mind, the papal claim that the pope sits in the office of Peter as Peter's successor. What happened? A lightning bolt struck the statue.
It was not only where this happened - but when. The lightning struck the statue on December 17. December 17 is Pope Francis' birthday. But there was more. The decree that altered nearly two thousand years of Catholic practice - to bless same sex unions, was issued on December 18. The lightning struck the statue the day before it went forth.
On the statue's head was a halo. The halo is a sign of holiness. When the lightning struck the statue it removed the halo from its head. What would that signify? It would signify the absence of holiness. One cannot do what the pope did and be reckoned holy - certainly not by God.
The statue was holding a key - as in the keys of Peter. It referred to the Scripture in which the Lord speaks of the authority to bind and loose on earth as in heaven. When the lightning struck the statue, it removed the keys. What would that signify? It would signify the removal of authority. The authority of God can only be given to those who follow the will of God. If one departs from God's will - if one violates and defies that will, one certainly cannot bear His authority.
The lightning not only removed the keys - it eviscerated the statue's hand. The statue's hand was in effect destroyed. The hand by which Catholic priests are now to bless homosexual unions is the right hand. The hand of the statue that was destroyed was its right hand: the hand of blessing.
God is not mocked. And all will stand before His seat of judgment - all including popes, and each of us. It won't then matter what the polls said, what the world said, or what the pope said. It will only matter what God said, the Word of God. Live this month - and your life - in light of that truth, in light of God's Word, and in light of that day. And may God greatly bless you as you do!

1 Samuel 5
5 And the Philistines took the ark of God, and brought it from Ebenezer unto Ashdod.
2 When the Philistines took the ark of God, they brought it into the house of Dagon, and set it by Dagon.
3 And when they of Ashdod arose early on the morrow, behold, Dagon was fallen upon his face to the earth before the ark of the Lord. And they took Dagon, and set him in his place again.
4 And when they arose early on the morrow morning, behold, Dagon was fallen upon his face to the ground before the ark of the Lord; and the head of Dagon and both the palms of his hands were cut off upon the threshold; only the stump of Dagon was left to him.
5 Therefore neither the priests of Dagon, nor any that come into Dagon's house, tread on the threshold of Dagon in Ashdod unto this day.
6 But the hand of the Lord was heavy upon them of Ashdod, and he destroyed them, and smote them with emerods, even Ashdod and the coasts thereof.
7 And when the men of Ashdod saw that it was so, they said, The ark of the God of Israel shall not abide with us: for his hand is sore upon us, and upon Dagon our god.
8 They sent therefore and gathered all the lords of the Philistines unto them, and said, What shall we do with the ark of the God of Israel? And they answered, Let the ark of the God of Israel be carried about unto Gath. And they carried the ark of the God of Israel about thither.
9 And it was so, that, after they had carried it about, the hand of the Lord was against the city with a very great destruction: and he smote the men of the city, both small and great, and they had emerods in their secret parts.
10 Therefore they sent the ark of God to Ekron. And it came to pass, as the ark of God came to Ekron, that the Ekronites cried out, saying, They have brought about the ark of the God of Israel to us, to slay us and our people.
11 So they sent and gathered together all the lords of the Philistines, and said, Send away the ark of the God of Israel, and let it go again to his own place, that it slay us not, and our people: for there was a deadly destruction throughout all the city; the hand of God was very heavy there.
12 And the men that died not were smitten with the emerods: and the cry of the city went up to heaven.

Have a blessed day and week.
May Yeshua Hamashiach bless you,
Love, Lizzy
