All power and strength to you, the host (the army) of the prince, Jesus Christ!  

I was recently listening to an interview on an alternative media source with a bishop of the Catholic Church. He was in complete agreement with how those who call themselves Jews but are not had always sought to subvert various nations and did kill many millions of Christians throughout history, especially the Bolsheviks of Russia. He agreed that these so-called Jews were ultimately the ones behind the Covid bioweapon and jabs and were the ones bringing about the one-world government and destroying America from within. Well, it all sounded good until what this Catholic bishop thought should be the best way to bring about a cure for America and the world. Can you guess what it was? Yes, I think he could agree that Jesus is the only true cure, but he didn't say that people should turn to Jesus for a cure. No, he said everyone should turn to Mother Mary, as if by praying to and seeking her, she could be more sympathetic to the situation and so bring about the changes that were needed in America and the world. And I immediately thought, doesn't Holy Scripture say,
 
1Timothy 2:5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus ?  

But despite this very clear teaching of God that there is only one mediator or go-between for human beings to seek help from, the Catholic Church and its bishop are saying, "turn to Mary for help." How screwed in belief can one be to say that? If Christ is the one mediator to whom we should pray to and seek for help according to Holy Scripture, and He, Jesus Christ, is God, which the Catholic Church claims to believe, why should anyone be told to go to Mary, to lean on her, or to pray to her for help. Is not God Himself the only one infinite in understanding and compassion? Why then go to anyone who can only possibly be finite in understanding and compassion? How foolish that is, and what great idolatry that is! Jeremiah speaks of this today when he says in Jeremiah 7, 

17 Seest thou not what they do in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem [in the Christian churches] ?
18 The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead their dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven [in this discussion, the false god or idol, Mary] , and to pour out drink offerings unto other gods, that they may provoke me to anger . 
19 Do they provoke me to anger? saith the LORD: do they not provoke themselves to the confusion of their own faces ?
20 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, mine anger and my fury shall be poured out upon this place [the Christian churches] , upon man, and upon beast, and upon the trees of the field, and upon the fruit of the ground; and it shall burn, and shall not be quenched [the spiritual fires of God's Final Judgment that He sent upon the Christian churches on May 21,1988 will not be quenched ] . 

But the people of the so-called Christian churches today will still not listen to God's prophets today, nor to Jeremiah, the prophet of Old, for they say in their hearts as they said in Jeremiah 44, 

16 As for the word that thou hast spoken unto us in the name of the LORD, we will not hearken unto thee .
17 But we will certainly do whatsoever thing goeth forth out of our own mouth, to burn incense [a symbol of prayer] unto the queen of heaven [in this example, the false god or idol, Mother Mary] , and to pour out drink offerings unto her, as we have done, we, and our fathers, our kings, and our princes, in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem [in the Christian churches] : for then had we plenty of victuals, and were well, and saw no evil .  

And so, it still is: the people in the Catholic Church continue to pray to Mary in complete idolatry that they will always try to explain away, even as they do all their statues and portraits of Mary, which they hang all over their walls to anger God. 

Now, this is just one example of a High Place of Idolatry in a so-called Christian church, but there are actually many. Remember, in the Old Testament, the ancient Israelite people built High Places under every green tree, in their gardens, groves, vineyards, on the top of hills and mountains, and in many other places, which were places where they would bow down to worship their false gods. For instance, we read, 

1Kings 14:23 For they also built them high places, and images, and groves, on every high hill, and under every green tree . 

And of king Ahaz, we read, 

2Chronicles 28:25 And in every several city of Judah he made high places to burn incense unto other gods, and provoked to anger the LORD God of his fathers . 

And of king Manasseh, we read, 

2Kings 21:3 For he built up again the high places which Hezekiah his father had destroyed; and he reared up altars for Baal, and made a grove, as did Ahab king of Israel; and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served them .  

And so it was: Most of the kings of Israel and Judah, except Hezekiah and Josiah) either added to the number of High Places of Idolatry or allowed for them to continue until they eventually became so numerous in the land that the Lord brought judgment and destroyed the Northern kingdom, Israel by the Assyrians in 709 BC and then the Southern kingdom, Judah and Jerusalem by the Babylonians in 587 BC. No doubt, the ancient Israelites and Judeans thought they were worshipping the true God at these High Places at various times in their history, but they were actually worshipping a false god, a demon, an idol, Satan himself without realizing it .  

But today, the difference is the Christian churches themselves have become the High Places of Idolatry because they each to one degree or another hold false doctrines, practices, or beliefs that they say are from God when they are not (see " The Christian churches are High Places! " ). Although the Catholic Church appears to have the most High Places of Idolatry because their authority is wider than just the true Holy Scriptures alone, and they have added the unholy scriptures of the apocrypha to have brought God's Judgment upon themselves hundreds of years ago (see the Bible and Catholicism ), all the other Christian churches and denominations now have many High Places as well, which is why God's Final " Judgment [had to] begin at the House of God " (1Peter 4:17), the whole corporate Christian Church, which includes all Christian churches without exception. This is why the true people of God, the Elect, have long since obeyed God to depart out from all Christian churches (see Why leave all Christian churches? and Are we commanded to depart out from ALL Christian churches? ). 

Now, if the Lord wills, we will continue in our study of Daniel 8 on the next Lord's Day and Sabbath rest, next Sunday (see The Sabbath Day! ).

Brother Mike, prophet of the Most High,
seeking to love God above all else!
